Lytton Appointed
SC Parlimentarian,
Clears Confusion
Jim Lytton, sophomore speech
major, has been appointed Student
Council Parlimentarian by Gene
Rodriguez, Council president. Lyt-
ton’s appointment resulted from
a series of parlimentary difficul-
ties in Council meetings.
Entangled
The original motion establish-
ing a Council Parlimentarian was
introduced Oct. 25 by Bill Rex,
representative-at-large. In previ-
ous meetings, proposed legislation
had become entangled in proce-
dural disputes. Motions and count-
er motions were being ruled out
of order as fast as they were in-
troduced.
Most of the conflict arose over
Council acceptance of an amend-
ment ' to the constitution. Jim
Barta, chairman of the Constitu-
tional Revisions Committee, pro-
posed the addition of five mem-
bers to the Council from the
Campus Organization Council.
Procedure Confused
Discussion led to confusion on
parlimentary procedure and a
subsequent tabling of the amend-
ment. Rex then presented his
motion for a parlimentarian.
Lytton was appointed the follow-
ing week.
A graduate of Central Catholic
High School, Lytton is a member
of StMU’s Debate Team. Addi-
tionally, he organized the Bexar
County Student Congress held at
St. Mary’s, Nov. 10.
DRAWING by Andy Rodriguez gives
bird’s-eye view of upcoming Kampus
Karnival. The carnival is part of home-
coming activities to begin Dec. 1.
Rodriguez exhibited examples of his
modernistic work in the Administra-
tion hall last week.
Constitutional Amendment Gives
Campus Clubs Five Voting Reps
Five new positions were added to the Student Council last night with acceptance
of the Campus Organizations Council (COC). After twice tabling the amendment,
the Council voted 17-0 to accept COC as proposed by James Barta, Constitutional Re-
visions chairman.

SIMU SEA Hosts Colleges
At Drive-in Conference
Opens Tonight-
‘Inherit the Wind’ Ploy
Awaits Student Verdict
By GEORGE BR 4CAM0NTES
At first there was nothing bur
a mere framework of insignifi-
cant characters clinging loosely
around a nucleus like the fragile
hands of a babe cling to his
mother when he is about to fall.
The scripts have been thrown
away and the once weak struc-
ture now illuminates with life;
for it has grown strong and
has shaped into a mighty cast--
the cast of “Inherit the Wind.”
Play Tonight
The cast is ready to portray
life with all its realism tonight
and Saturday at 8 p.m. in Rein-
bolt Auditorium. Tickets may be
purchased at the door for a
minimal fee of 50c.
Making things go right is Mr.
Charles B. Myler, “professor of
hysteria and victim of speech.’’
Mr. Myler “firmly” believes “In-
herit the Wind” will be a suc-
cess.
Set designer, Robert Sosa,
should agree with this thought.
He is a junior speech major who
has thought up the arrangement
for the set.
The production will be staged
on two levels the upper area
representing the courtroom, the
lower section representing the
business section of the town.
Crew Sets Design
Working with Sosa on the set
design and construction crew are
Terry Denton, Johnny Patino,
Barry Hobrecht, Hugh Roddy
and Tom Cunnigham. The latter
two meet explosively on stage,
with Hobrecht acting as judge,
Patino as circuit district attor-
ney, and Sosa a jail keeper.
The Cast
Hornbeck, dramatized by Nick
Steubing, is the critic who never
pushes a noun against a verb
except to blow up something. He
creeps into the acts out of
nowhere, like a naked leering de-
mon from the grottoes of Tar-
tarus.
Behind the chatter are the
townswomen. Without their
shrieks they are: Margie Kowal-
lzyk, Marty Belsey, and Eliza-
beth Galle.
In the supporting cast are Mrs.
Brady, dramatized by Shirley
Lenke; Malinda, a young school-
girl enacted by Terry Thompson;
the radio announcer by George
Bracamontes and townsmen play-
ed by Fredie Batot, Jim Lytton,
Don Cross, and Jerry Flaherty.
Stern Preacher
Tim McClanahan plays the
part of Rev. Jeremiah Brown.
Rev. Brown, a stern but re-
spected preacher, is the father
of Rachel (Diane Conttingham>,
a schoolteacher who against her
father’s will is in love with Bert-
ram Cates (Reginald Mullins),
the defendant.
Homecoming Coming;
Dipp Named Chairman
By GENE RODRIGUEZ
Mike Dipp, Student Council
vice-president, has been named
Homecoming chairman by the
student council. Dipp will coor-
dinate three student sponsored
events planned for Dec. 1.
A parade and torch run from
Wonderland shopping center to
St. Mary’s will begin festivities
Saturday morning. The after-
noon-til-dark period will be set
aside for an all new “Kampus
Karnival,” complete with side-
shows. After dark a bonfire and
pep rally will preceed the home-
coming game with Texas South-
ern U in Alumni Gym. “A vic-
tory Dance” in Alumni gym will
climax the day-long celebration.
First
This is the first student
alumni coordinated Homecoming
in several years and representa-
tives of both groups are work-
ing feverishly to insure success.
Working with Dipp are Don
Driscoll parade chairman; Mickey
Rehm, “Karnival” chairman; and
Cort Bick, bonfire chairman. The
three have expressed need for
volunteer help.
“I think the success of Home-
coming will rest on whether or
not we get the bonfire built
before Dec. 1,” said Bick. Rex
voiced a concern for enough
manpower to handle all the ac-
tivities in one day. Rehm is hop-
ing for a large “Karnival” turn-
out “so all organizations with
booths can come away with a
profit.”
According to Rehm organiza-
tions manning booths will re-
ceive 50 percent, profit. He has
encouraged all organizations to
use this opportunity to reple-
nish their treasuries.
Booths
Booths and games have been
obtained from local parishes to
minimize work. Organizations
will be provided with decorating
material for “ingenious” de-
corating.
A list of booths available will
be ready Monday for which in-
terested groups will draw for
types and positions.
Rehm is attempting to bring
a small ferris wheel and other
rides to add carnival atmosphere.
Speech and drama department
members are planning a periodic
sideshow and the music depart-
ment has promised to stage “lit-
tle concerts” with various bands—-
German, Dixieland and String.
Detailed plans for a parade
and torch run are in the making.
St. Mary’s band will lead a string
of cars from Wonderland to the
campus escorting the “torch” to
be used to light the bonfire.
Fraternities and several other
groups will furnish runners who
will relay the “torch” along the
route. Dipp is preparing a map
of the parade route indicating
relay points.
A1 Sturchio of the music de-
partment has arranged for TV
coverage of the parade.
Bonfire
Fr., Charles Neumann, SM,
University president, will light
the bonfire which will spark the
St. Many's vs Texas Southern
game.
All events are being coordi-
nated with “Alumni Day” to
create a homecoming.
An Alumni Awards luncheon
will be held in the gym. Students
are invited. Departmental re-
unions will welcome back alu-
mni. An alumni dinner-dance will
be held at Ramada Inn. Seniors
are invited.

and waiting for us to help them.”
Wmmm
.. Oh, ye of little faith ...
‘Does a sponge think?”
“He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind.”
ed the COG proposal for the first'
time Oct. 25. Mike Dipp,. Student
Council vice president, asked for
more definite outlines on the
organization of COC and election
of COC representaives. The
Student Council voted to table
the COC amendment until the
next meeting, but unanimously
offered “a vote of confidence”
to the student body in regards
to COC as a “plausible” means
of representing co - curricular
clubs.
Structure Clarified
Organization presidents met
Nov. 6 for a second time to clari-
fy the COC structure and- elec-
tion procedures, COC would be
a subcommittee of the Student
Council with five voting repre-
senttives. The five divisions are:
ROTC, Professional, General,
Honor - Religious, and co-Curri-
cular. Each representative would
preside over monthly meetings
with the vice-presidents’ of the
groups in his division.
Election date for representa-
tives to the Student Council from
their respective division in COC
was set as Nov. 27. Organization
presidents will cast a vote in rep-
resenting their club’s interest.
The representatives, immediate-
ly upon being elected will begin
framing a constitution. ~ ' "Y
The perfected plan for struc-
ture of COC and the elections of
its representatives was offered
to the Student Council at their
Nov. 8 meeting. The COC plan
was tabled 8-3 because the'num-
ber of members present threa-
tened the proposal with defeat.
Student Senate
Rodriguez presented the COC
proposal as a first step in com-
plete student government recon-
struction. His campaign for of-
fice was based on dividing stu-
dent government into three equal
branches: Executive, ‘ Student
Senate, and Student Court. Three
Sub-councils would be directly
responsible 'to the Senate: In-
terfratemity with 6 votes, .Dorm
with 2 votes and Campus Org-
anizations with 5 yotes. '
“This is a big project,” Rod-
riguez said, “It must be' inaug-
urated step by step. However,
each step is separate from the
others and by accepting one,
you do not accept the entire
plan.” ’
