THE TIGER
October 11, 1968
INTRODUCTION TO PAPER
The tiger is traditionally the mascot or insignia for St, Philip’s
College. Similarly, a campus newspaper is the voice of the college
students and faculty. Combining these two traditions, St, Philip’s
College begins the new semester with the publication of the campus
newspaper, The Tiger.
A college newspaper can and ought to play a vital role on any
campus. Its obvious function is that of informing its readers of
future events on campus and in the surrounding communities, and
t>f reporting the outcome of past events or functions. In a school
as diversified as St. Philip’s the newspaper can keep the various
departments informed of what is happening and what new develop-
ments are being made throughout the school. As a means of pub-
licity the college newspaper is unequalled in its range and scope.
Only a small fraction of the student body ever attends an assembly
or reads the bulletin board in the cafeteria. Every student, evening
as well as day, will receive a copy of the college paper. There is
no better method of advertising an event, making an announcement
or scheduling a meeting than through the pages of the paper.
Acquainting the students with the faculty and administration,
recognizing outstanding students, keeping the readers posted on
current trends, and recording sports schedules and scores are among
the many other functions of a newspaper.
Finally, the college newspaper can serve as an impartial public
sounding-board for students and faculty. The editorial column and
letters to the editor sections exist as a means for readers to express
their ideas and opinions directly and openly.
Just as a local or national newspaper is important to you as a
citizen, so your college newspaper is important to you as a student.
Recognizing this fact, a course in publication laboratory has been
initiated into the curriculum this semester. It is the primary func-
tion of this lab to publish a campus newspaper. However, if such
a paper is to' fulfill its role successfully, it must have the coopera-
tion and participation of all its readers. It is not necessary for
anyone to be enrolled in the formal lab in order to contribute
articles, editorials, letters or simply suggestions to the paper.
Participate in the newspaper; make it meaningful; make it
yours. Make The Tiger truly the voice of the students.

Aches and Pains
“One . . . Two . . . Three . . .
Four. Keep your knees straight.
Touch your toes.” These are
familiar sentences echoing from
the St. Philip’s Gym. After three
months of summer vacation, the
P.E. students are trying to work
themselves into shape.
Miss Green’s Physical Educa-
tion classes will have a new look
for 1068-69. The P.E. togs are
changed from a one piece royal
blue gym suit to a two piece
uniform consisting of white
shorts and blouse. Only Fresh-
men girls are required to wear
this new outfit. Sophomores will
continue to wear the blue gym
,suit. The first activity of the P.E.
classes will be volleyball.
Assisting Miss Green this year
will be Miss Barbara Yates, a
freshman student. She will serve
in the capacity of secretary.
Les Ambassadorices
Miss Carolyn Green is the spon-
sor of the Les Ambassadorices
Club. This organization is a social
and civic club for the young
women of St. Philips College. Its
purpose is to promote better
womanhood on both our campus
and within our community. Their
many functions include sending
flowers to former St. Philip’s
College teachers and donating
groceries to needy families. On
the social side, these girls spon-
sor dances, worship together, and
bowl together. Last year they
went to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.
A girl can only become a mem-
ber when an old member submits
her name for membership. The
old members submit one name
each semester. The girl is voted
on by all the members and if
there is no opposition, she is
accepted.
The Les Ambassadorices Club
had its first regular meeting Octo-
ber 2, 1968. The following mem-
bers were elected as officers:
President, Wilhelmeen Gray; Vice
President, Marguerite Floyd; Sec-
retary, Linda Brown; Assistant
Secretary, Gloria Lee; Treasurer,
Mertha Vaughns; and Reporter,
Brenda Quinnie. Watch the news-

Albee and Rowan
Set For
OLL Lecture Series
Playwright Edward Albee and
columnist Carl Rowan will lec-
ture at Our Lady of the Lake Col-
lege.
Rowan’s appearance is set for
Tuesday, October 15, and he will
discuss the presidential election
and give a first-hand account of
the current political trends in the
nation. Albee will discuss the
state of theatre today, and espe-
cially the influence of his own
works, on Thursday, October 31.
Both lectures are set for 8':00 p.m.
in Thiry Auditorium and are
open to the public.
Rowan was first appointed by
President John F. Kennedy as a
member of the U.S. delegation to
the United Nations. He later
served as Ambassador to Finland,
then succeeded Edward R. Mor-
row as Director of the U.S. In-
formation Agency.
Rowan currently writes a syn-
dicated column carried by more
than 100 newspapers, among them
the San Antonio Evening News.
He is also chief news com-
mentator for the Westinghouse
Broadcasting Co. He attended
both political conventions and
has since followed the campaigns
of the two candidates across the
nation. His talk will give the San
Antonio audience his latest as-
sessment of the campaign.
Edward Albee, who will be
making his first San Antonio ap-
pearance, will discuss the move-
ment of “Theatre of the Absurd,”
and his own contributions to
drama today. Albee is best known
for “Who’s Afraid of Virginia
Woolf,” and as a speaker he is
considered as controversial as his
plays. Tennessee Williams calls
Albee “the only great playwright
we’ve ever had in America,” and
acclaims his disdain of much of
the “realistic” theatre of today.
Albee’s list of awards includes
the New York Drama Critic
award, Foreign Press Association,
the Tony, the Vernon Rice Me-
morial award, the Outer Circle
Critics awards, and the Ameri-
can National Theater and Aca-
demy (ANTA) award.
Tickets for the two lectures
will go on sale Monday, Septem-
ber 16, and reservations can be
made by writing the Publicity
Office, Our Lady of the Lake Col-
lege, 411 S.W. 24th Street, San
Antonio 78207. Admission prices
for Rowan are Adults $1.75, Stu-
dents $1.25. Admission costs for
Albee are Adults $2.50, Students
$1.75.

schools have been campaigning
for Hubert Humphrey. A caravan

LETTERS
To The EDITOR
Wednesday, October 2, 10:45
a.m. an assembly for male stu-
dents was held in the school
gymnasium. The audience was
inspired and captivated by the
Dean’s opening address.
Following the address, ques-
tions were raised that led to a
discussion of rules and regula-
tions related to school attire. The
final conclusion seems to have
been that the student should use
common sense and good judg-
ment with respect to dress and
decorum.
Now the male students are con-
cerned about the implication that
they have been in violation of
school regulations. Like all
healthy, red-blooded Americans,
they would, like to see a clear-cut
ruling on this matter, and would
also like to see this matter dis-
cussed within the framework of
the democratic process since
freedom of speech and freedom
of the press are a part of our
present intellectual society.
Cancellation of Movies
As one of their campus activi-
ties, the students of St. Philip’s
College voted last year to have
Recreational movies. Because of
poor attendance (35 students), it
News From The
Guidance Center
Services offered to the students
of both the Academic and Tech-
nical-Vocational Division by the
Guidance Center include the fol-
lowing:
1. Counseling
2. Career Information
3. Job Placement
4. Testing and
5. Orientation.
All students are urged to visit
the Center, located on the Nevada
Street side of the Technical-
Vocational Building, in order to
take advantage of the services
offered
The center is now open from
8:00 A.M. to 9:45 P.M., daily, Mon-
day through Friday of each week.
This new schedule has become
possible through the addition by
the College of a new counselor,
Mr. Charles L. Jones. Other mem-
bers of the staff are Maurice H.
Sochia and E. L. Turbon who
serves as Director of the Guid-
ance Center.
Students are invited to listen
to F.M. radio station K.C.O.R.

ASSEMBLY — OCTOBER 16
Organization of
Campus Clubs
has now been decided to dis-
continue these films. Some of the
reasons for this poor attendance
are as follows: the films were
old and had already been seen
on television; the publicity was
ineffective; the hour was incon-
venient.
The student body is asking for
another opportunity to discuss
and vote on the question of re-
suming the showing of the mov-
ies. One reason for this appeal is
that this year’s Freshman Class
did not vote last year; another
reason is that the college news*
paper, The Tiger, could be very
effective in encouraging attend-
ance by publicizing the scheduled
movies.
Another factor that should be
taken into account by those who
failed to support this activity is
that as representatives of the
body that voted for the movies,
they have a moral obligation to
support them by their attend-
ance. They must also realize that
it takes a reasonable amount of
money to rent these films, and
the rental fee must be paid re-
gardless of the attendance—large
or small.
Students, if we want this acti-
vity continued, and if we vote
for it, then we have an obligation
to support it financially; if we
default we have an obligation to
assume the responsibility for any
deficit incurred.
