to make personal contact with
any member of the St. Edward’s
community, and discuss any sug-
gestions or comments offered.
Brother Dunstan, faculty mode-
rator of the Tower, the Universi-
ty yearbook, has provided rooms
and facilities on the second floor
for Editor Frank Bratina and his
yearbook staff.
There is also a room devoted
to music lovers. Its first installa-
tion consists of one archaic, semi-
operative organ. Expectations for
more extensive installations are
optimistic.
One other remaining room in
this building is named, somewhat
esoterically, the Convivium. This
enclosure is soon to be completed
and will serve as a meeting place
for smaller groups from assorted
campus organizations.
Adjacent to the KSEU studios
is Bernie Yun’s new SAC office.
Our student body president has
set up regular office hours and
will install a phone so that this
room will be readily accessible
to any student who wish to con-
tribute to SAC. Mr. Yun is eager
in our first issue, published as part of the freshman orienta-
tion program, The Hilltopper did not choose to publish its
news and editorial policies. We feel, however, that it is impor-
tant to set forth this policy to the St. Edward’s community in
order to create a better understanding between The Hilltopper
and its readers. Our policy will be as follows.
Because The Hilltopper is the organ of communication for
all campus groups—students, faculty and administration—it
considers itself to have a two-fold purpose: a) to inform the
students, faculty, administration, and friends of the Univer-
sity of all newsworthy events, and b) to discuss the problems of
campus life and the opinions of its readers.
While The Hilltopper considers the first part of its purpose
extremely important, it does not feel that this iteration of
policy should relegate it to the position of campus archive
keeper. Thus, in an attempt to make The Hilltopper more dy-
namic, it will be our policy to minimize coverage of past
events and to concentrate on the present and the future. This
does not mean, however, that past events of importance will
not be covered. Thus, in order to stay as timely as possible,
The Hilltopper will again be a weekly paper, as was the case
during the second semester of the 1963-64 school year.
As is true of any paper wishing to be responsible to its
readers, The Hilltopper will, to the best of its ability, at-
tempt to cover all news accurately. We will avoid, whenever
possible, the interjection of personal views into the reporting
of events. All items published will be carefully reported and
edited so that only an objective view of the events will be
given. The Hilltopper reader may rest assured that statements
appearing in The Hilltopper are fact.
The Hilltopper will, of necessity, give more coverage to the
events of certain organizations than to others. The Hilltopper
reserves the right to report the news on a proportional basis:
the amount of coverage given to an event being determined
by two factors: a) its importance at the time it occurs, and
b) its importance at the time of publication.
Believing St. Edward’s to be an important and integral part
of the city of Austin, The Hilltopper will, when local events
seem pertinent to the St. Edward’s community, report these
events. In addition, The Hilltopper will report national and
world news when it feels that these happenings are of value
to the students. When possible, the reporting of these events
will be accompanied or incorporated into an interpretive report
relating the event to the St. Edward’s community.
These reports are one of the ways in which the second part
of The Hilltopper policy will be carried out. The opinion
columns in The Hilltopper will not be limited to “outside”
events. The columnists will be allowed to use their own dis-
cretion in choosing the topics discussed in their columns. The
Hilltopper only requires that the discussion be in the best in-
terests of the St. Edward’s community.
In order to create a forum of ideas on various campus issues,
everyone on campus—faculty, administration and students
alike—is encouraged to express his opinion in a letter to the
editor. All thoughtful, tastefully written letters on events per-
tinent to St. Edward’s will be printed. The Hilltopper requests
that all letters be signed, but the name of the writer will be
withheld upon request.
The Hilltopper editorials will express the official stand on
any particular event, campus or otherwise. The Hilltopper will
either praise, encourage or criticize events, policies, and actions,
depending upon how it views their relation to the common good
of the St. Edward’s community.
With the above objectives in mind, The Hilltopper hopes to
publish a newspaper that is truly informative, beneficial and
responsive to the St. Edward’s community.

According to Brother Silvan
Mellett, University registrar, the
freshmen enrollment has increas-
ed 22 per cent. Freshmen, with
193 members, make up approxi-
mately 30 per cent of the total
enrollment. In addition to new
freshmen, in attendance this year
are 40 transfer students, mostly
sophomores.
Brother Dunstan Bowles, CSC,
accepted the challenge of amelior-
ating the second floor of the
Annex for the purpose of making
a quasi-creative art center. If
Brother’s work is completed as
expected, what was once the top
floor of St. Joe hall will be
dubbed, not too jokingly, “Dun-
stan’s Miracle.” The hall currently
houses the original art quarters
used by Brother last year, and to
this studio ‘A’ have been added
four new studios which will act
as supplementary facilities for the
new art class, which is under the
tutelage of Mr. Gene Cauthen, a
graduate student at the Universi-
ty of Texas. Mr. Cauthen’s figure
drawing course will use pencil,
water colors, charcoal and oils; it
will begin with an anatomical
study and will progress into the
use of live models.

St. Edward’s university has
reached an all time record en-
rollment of 625 students, an in-
crease of 6.7 per cent over last
year.

The SEU public relations de-
partment will also be lodged on
the second floor. This organiza-
tion, which was incepted by C.
Michael Tracy last year, will be-
come active in advertising for
club and University-sponsored ac-
tivities on campus this year under
the leadership of Larry Gries.
Space has also been devoted to
KSEU for its radio studios from
which sometime in the near
future, music, drama and news
will be broadcast for campus
listeners. Mike Prehn, KSEU’s
campus spokesman, expressed
plans to re-transmit certain FM
programs on an AM frequency,
thus enabling students with AM
sets to enjoy the better music
of FM radio.

Bookstore Hours
The new bookstore hours,
effective immediately, will be 8:00
am to 1:00 pm Monday through
Saturday, and 10:00 am to 11:30
am on Sunday. These will be
posted in the forthcoming stu-
dent-faculty directory.
St. Edward’s remains a cosmo-
politan university, with students
representing 38 states and 17
foreign countries. The St. Ed-
ward’s community has attracted
students from Alaska to Florida
and from Maine to California, as
well as from such diversified
foreign locales as Hong Kong and
Saudi Arabia.
Towards the end of the Second
World War, an old dilapidated
army barracks, re-christened St.
Joseph hall, was set up as tempo-
rary housing for the Brothers.
This “temporary” building re-
mained for no less than a period
of twenty years, after which,
upon the exodus of the Brothers,
it became a low-rent housing
project for indigent or penurious
students. At this time it was once
again re-christened, this time the
Annex. At the end of the school
year ’63-’64, these students moved
out, leaving the Annex in a state
of ravage. A summer of replacing
walls, doors, windows, ceilings,
banisters, plumbing, electrical
fixtures, and all but the scantlings
of the building, made it possible
for this “temporary” structure to
be put to use once again.
The first floor, having been
renovated, has been turned over
to some of the faculty members
for private office quarters—warm,
hospitable rooms conducive to
faculty-student contact.
The Hilltopper is published weekly during the academic year
at St. Edward’s university, an institution of higher learning
conducted by the Brothers of Holy Cross (CSC). Opinions SAS,
expressed herein are those of the student editors, and not
necessarily those of the University as a whole. The Hill- ka
topper is a member of the Associated Collegiate Press, Neo"
