forgot all about her because we
eliminated her instantly. . .Some-
body, an anonymous person, gave
somebody in the theatre a tip that
the jacket had belonged to her.
Hilltopper: Have you absolutely
decided it was a student?
Hilltopper: So you talked to ab-
solutely nobody else?
Erickson said, “and I want to get
the residents involved...winning is
of secondary importance.”
The floor tournaments are usual-
ly held on a Wednesday or Thurs-
day at 10 p.m. but the exact date is
rarely definite until the week of
play. Erickson plans to hold first-
floor competition sometime next
week for Doyle and Premont.

to utilize to the maximum,” Morin
said.
The Job Bank tries to match the
student with the job. It also tries to
give students advice on how to pres-
ent themselves in a professional
way. “I give them tips on certain
things to say in an interview,”
Morin said.
“We realize that trying to work
when you are going to school is not
easy,” Suits said, “but you get so
much out of it—a contact you make
in a fast food place may help you in
the future. Anything you learn in
the world of work is valuable
experience.”
Suits said she feels developing
work skills, having a positive at-
titude towards work, and getting
practical experience are very impor-
tant.
This service is in effect a free
employment agency for the students
and the employer.
“If students are interested in get-
ting a job, we have applications,”
Suits said. “We ask the students to
try and arrange their classes in
blocks of time so we have some-
thing to work with,” she said.
The Job Bank is located in Holy
Cross, Room 215, Ext. 353.

Garrison: No, no. I have ab-
solutely not decided that it has to be
a student. We have no idea who it is
at this point in time.
Hilltopper: How would you re-
spond to charges of harrassment?
Garrision: I will personally
apologize to these students if they
felt harrassed. . . we wanted to put
them on the spot. If they were the
guilty party, we wanted to make
them nervous. We wanted to make
them think we knew something.

bowl.
the Austin Police? Why are you
keeping this an internal matter?
Garrison: We’re capable of
handling an internal investigation.
Hilltopper: If the person is
found, will they be turned in to
APD?
Garrison: In any case involving
anything, it’s up to the University
administration to decide whether
they’re going to prosecute in court
or not. . . Br. Stephen is the
ultimate authority.
Hilltopper: When you were ques-
tioning the students, you had
another security guard with you,
but the students were not provided
counsel.
Garrison: They were not
suspects. You’ve got to distinguish
between us and the police depart-
ment. We are not bound by the
same rules as the police department.
We are inquiring about an incident
which happened at St. Edward’s
which is private property. We repre-
sent the University. We do not have
to advise people of their rights.
Hilltopper: Did you identify
The Trivia Bowl, a brainchild of
the men’s dorm Head Resident Pete
Erickson, is an activity designed to
bring dorm residents together.
“We have about 50 percent par-
ticipation by both Doyle and Pre-
mont,” Erickson said.
The game itself begins with each
floor making a list of people who
want to play; they divide into teams
of three residents each, and each
team competes with other teams
from their floors.
The third and second floors in
Premont and Doyle have played
their rounds and have one team per
floor that is ready to play for the
championship. When all the teams
in Doyle and Premont have played,
the champion teams of each dorm
play each other for the ultimate
champion team.
Resident assistants of each dorm
have each, as a RA project, made
300 questions for the Bowl. Com-
bined with questions from last
year’s competition are 1,400
Erickson can ask. They are divided
into three sections of Easy,
Medium, and Hard. During play
two teams sit at two tables across
from Erickson.
A horn and bell are used as
signals when the team member can
answer the beginning “toss-up”
question. Whoever honks the. horn
or rings the bell first can try to
answer the toss-up question. If that
one person answers correctly, the
team gets 5 points and can try to
answer an easy, medium or hard
question, 5, 10 and 15 points
respectively. Whether they answer
that question right or not, play
resumes with another toss-up ques-
tion. The toss-up can only be
answered by the player with the
noisemaker and it rotates as play
progresses. If a toss-up cannot be
answered by the first team to signal,
the other team can try. If a toss-up
cannot be answered by either team
it is thrown out and another toss-up
Garrison: We’re always op-
timistic. . . I consider it pure luck
that we stumbled on it. If we
hadn’t. . . we would have been out
all that sound equipment. The next
production would be in jeopardy;
the University would have to spend
another $8000 to buy more sound
equipment. . . I don’t know where
the investigation’s going. Again,
we’re grasping at straws. The only
thing we can do is talk to people.
Garrison: Nobody else.
Hilltopper: How about _
is given.
After five minutes the noise
makers are switched. After seven
minutes of play the point values are
doubled and at 10 minutes the play
stops. Then two more teams play
and so on until all the teams of each
floor have played. When there is an
even number of teams, the one with
the most points does not have to
play again until the finals and the
remaining teams play until one is
left to play the highest scoring team
for the floor championship. When
an odd number of teams play, a
drawing is held to decide who gets
the bye.
When Doyle plays, Pete Erickson
asks the questions and an RA keeps
the time. Two impartial judges are
chosen to aid Erickson in deciding
which team shall answer the toss-up
question, and one more person
keeps score.
Erickson’s main problem are
funds. All prizes are solicited dona-
tions from local fast food res-
taurants. Student Activities Council
(SAC) sponsored the bowl by giving
three $10 gift certificates for the
first-place team and nine engraved
awards for the members of the
first-, second- and third-place
teams.
“There is no dorm fund supplied
each year by the University, and if
there was it would help,” Erickson
explained. “We have received some
criticism about the inexactness of
the bell and horn but we don’t have
enough money to get buzzers.”
The Trivia Bowl is not meant to
be competitive. The prizes are small
and only the hard questions are gen-
uine trivia. The Easy questions con-
sist of some trivia but also of many
simple thought questions, for ex-
ample: “without looking...
how many ears do you have?” The
Medium questions have more trivia
than thought but there are still
questions such as: “If a man has 10
toes, how many fingers (excluding
thumbs) will he have if he loses two
toes?”
“Basically we want to have fun,”
Erickson, head resident, Doyle

“We take finding students jobs
very seriously and work hard to
find jobs to satisfy the student and
the employer,” says Virginia Suits,
Job Bank Coordinator.
“It is unfortunate when we refer
a student and they never go to the
interview. The employer will never
list with us again if the student does
not show or is unequal for the job,”
Suits said.
The Job Bank has been busy this
fall trying to find students jobs.
“We’ve had many people looking
for jobs,” she said, adding, “It is
extremely hard to get a job in the
community this year because people
with jobs are not quitting.”
To try to find more jobs the Job
Bank has hired Program Developer
Juan Morin.
“I was hired to try and develop
more personal contacts with the
community employers,” Morin
said. He said he feels there needs to
be more initiative and commitment
from the student for the Job Bank
to be successful.

“I’m not questioning Mr. Gar-
rison’s integrity, merely his
methods. . . Garrison admitted he
used these tactics, in his own words,
‘in order to get someone to break
down.’ ”
The second student involved
reacted: “This is further proof of
my disillusionment with the school.
If this is the kind of thanks I get for
volunteering my services when I’m
not even a theatre major, I’m
curious as to how the theatre treats
its own students. Mainly, I’m disap-
pointed in the caliber of personnel
who handled the investigation.”
The third student questioned by
Garrison responded: “He asked me
about six times if I had been up to
the theatre that night. . . Here I
am, an Art major having nothing to
do with the theatre since “Sticks
and Bones” a year ago and I was
questioned?”
Garrison was asked by the
Hill topper to explain Security’s in-
volvement. Though he declined to
reveal all of the evidence found
because the investigation is continu-
ing, Garrision commented: “It’s all
circumstantial evidence that leads
us to questioning. . . We get a
name from somebody that could
have possibly been connected. We
just follow up. That’s all we can
do.”
