. . Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to
be pretty rapid. As a nation we began by declaring
that ‘all men are created equal.’ We now practical-
ly read it ‘all men are created equal, except Ne-
groes.’ When the Know-Nothings get control, it
will read ‘all men are created equal, except Negroes
and foreigners and Catholics.’ When it comes to
this, I shall prefer emigrating to some country
where they make no pretense of loving liberty—to
Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken
pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.”

Dr.. Gray
Scribes New
Book
Dr. James Gray, SM, associate
professor and departmental
chairman of mathematics at St.
Mary’s, is the author of a new
supplementary text titled “Sets,
Relations, and Functions.”
According to Brother Gray,
“This book will not replace any
mathematical text in use, but in-
stead is designed to supplement
the texts being used at the pre-
sent time. The book is intended
to serve as a workbook for use
in accelerated high school cours-’
es and will be geared to fill in
certain areas in the math curri-
culum here at St. Mary’s. He
also said the book will be em-
ployed as a teaching aid in
classical mathematics. The pub-
lishers Holt, Reinhart, and Wins-
ton, have commented in regards
to Bro. Gray’s book, “We expect
a large national response.”
A native of St. Louis. Bro.
Gray is the holder of degrees
fromthe University of Dayton,
Northwestern University, and re-
ceived his PhD from Notre Dame
University. He participated as
a visiting scientist for the Texas
Academy of Science in 1959-60
and 1960-61. Bro. Gray is work-
ing on another text book for use
in accelerated high school math-
ematics.
Other recent authors here on
campus are Fr. Charles W. Neu-
man, SM, president, and Dr.
Ludwig H. Mai, dean of the
graduate school. Fr. Neuman’s
book, “The Virgin Mary in the
Works of St. Ambrose” was writ-
ten for his doctorate at the Uni-
versity of Fribourg Switzerland.
It is one of a series of studies in
ancient literature and theology.
Dr. Mai’s new book, “Approach to
Economics,” is geared to Eco-
nomics 201 here at St. Mary’s.
Dr. Mai’s book is principally con-
cerned with the principles and
problems of basic economics and
how they affect our daily lives.
All three books are available
in the University Book Store.
Enrollment Hits
All Time High
St. Mary’s University continues
to feel the results of the “war-
baby boom.” Enrollment in all
divisions of the school is up to
2444, an inclease of one hundred
and forty-two over last year’s re-
cord enrollment.
New records were set in en-
rollments in day classes with an
increase of 101 students over last
year’s 1405. Graduate school has
a total enrollment of 236 stu-
dents, 38 more than last year’s
record of 198. Although the eve-
ning school showed an increase of
16 students to 537, the enrollment
remained under the record of
597 set in 1960.
No More Waiting
For Lunch,
One problem which constantly
appears at the beginning of each
school year is the long waiting
line for meals in the cafeteria.
Mr. Clifford Woods, manager,
has offered a few suggestions
to ease the congestion.
Students who do not have lab-
oratories in the afternoon are
requested to eat lunch before
noon or after 12:30. This will al-
low those students who leave
class at noon and must attend
1 pm labs sufficient time to
complete their meal.
In the morning, students who
do not have 8 am classes should
leave 7:30 to Sam breakfasts for
those who do have first period
lectures.
The schedule for serving meals
is as follows: breakfast—7 to
8:30am; lunch—11:30 am to 1
pm; supper—4:30 to 6 pm.
THREE AUTHORS are recognized for their recent publications at an autograph 1*
party in the book store. From left: Dr. L udwig Mai, dean of the graduate school,
wrote “Approach to Economics;” Fr. Charles W. Neumann, SM, University pres-
ident, is author of “The Virgin Mary in The Works of St. Ambrose;” and Dr.
James Gray, SM, head of mathematics department, wrote the text: “Sets, Re-
lations, and Functions.”
Mission Parallels Vatican Council
Siemer Fund Grows
Latest totals of contributions to
the Athletic Memorial Fund
established for the late Bro. Wil-
liam “Bill” Siemer, SM, show an
approximate $2200.
Plans under the fund include
a renovation program extending
over a period of years for St.
Mary’s University’s Alumni gym.
Details for the program will be
disclosed at a later date.
Rev. George T. Montague, SM,
new university chaplain, has an-
nounced that the theme of the
Student Mission to be held Oct.
9, 10, 11, at Holy Rosary Church,
will be “Renewal for Reunion.”
The mission will end the day
the Second Vatican Council opens
in Rome.
THEME SAME AT VATICAN
The theme of the Vatican coun-
cil is also ‘ Renewal for Reunion.”
“Some 3000 of our Bishops, Pat-
riarchs and Cardinals are taking
precious time to renew the
Church and to give it the lines of
simplicity and beauty which it
should have as the Spouse of
Christ.” Fr. Montague said, “It
is urgent that we too, here at
St. Mary’s, pause to renew out-
own lives, to get in step with the
new rhythm that is beating in
the Church: the rhythm of love
and unity.”
PERSONAL AND COLLECTIVE
IMPROVEMENT
The student mission will pro-
vide an opportunity for personal
and c o 11 e c t i Ar e improvement
among students in order to make
the University a more worthwhile
organ of the Mystical Body of
Christ, Fr. Montague said.
The subjects for sermons given
by the chaplain include: “Rene-
wal for Reunion,” “Love Makes
Saints,” “God Hates Walls,” and
“The Woman and the City.”
The mission is scheduled for
10 to 12 am Tuesday and Wed-
nesday and 9 to 11 am Thurs-
day.
Ending the mission, and sym-
bolizing student interest in
Church unity, will be a Maronite
Rite Mass celebrated by Msgr.
John Trad, of St. George’s Maro-
nite Church. This mass is the
same type celebrated by His
Beatitude Paul Peter Meouchi,
Patriarch of Antioch and recent
visitor to the city of San An-
tonio.
TALKS FOR NON-CATHOLIC
STUDENTS
Parallel to the student mission
will be a talk and dialogue offer-
ed for non-Catholic Students on
the Ecumenical Movement among
Christian churches, given by Rev.
John G. Leies and Bro. John
Totten.
Fr. Leies mentioned that the
very presence of “delegate obser-
vers” from other churches at the
Second Vatican Council is an in-
dication that dialogue is in order
for members of all churches.
These lectures are. directed to
students interested in learning
more about the Ecumenical Move-
ment toward Christian unity in
the world.
Fr. George Montague, SM
Dr. Gray To Assist Federal Program
Dr. James F. Gray, SM, chair-
man of the mathematics depart-
ment, was recently selected by
the Texas Teachers Association
to assist in a government spon-
sored program. He will instruct
high school math teachers on
new methods of teaching based
on a series of textbooks known
as “School Mathematics Studies
Group” materials.
Bro. Gray will be in charge of
a mathematics center in Uvalde
and will assist at ainother center
to be set up at Alamo Heights
High School.
The new program is a result of
a widespread change in the
mathematics curriculum of high
schools throughout the nation.
A new approach to mathema-
tics has been desired in this area
for many years. This program
will accomplish the need for a
simpler method of instruction in
mathematics.
At Alamo Heights, Bro. Gray
will instruct all the 9th grade
math teachers in the city. He
will give nine two-hour sessions
at the school.
Apart from these activities,
Bro. Gray will address a meet-
ing of the Arkansas Mathemati-
cal Teacher’s Council on Oct. 12-
13 in Little Rock. He will give
the two main talks of their ses-
sion.
International
The enrollment of 66 students representing 17 foreign nations
and every continent except Australia has increased the cosmopoli-
tan atmosphere of St. Mary’s for this semester.
The most represented areas are Latin American and the Orient.
Peru claims the greatest percentage of students, with at least 19
attending. Following closely are Mexico with nine and Venezuela
with three.
The Oriental^students display a wide variety of nationalities,
with at least two students from Japan and Hong Kong and one
eacli from Macao, Korea, and Taiwan. There is at least one stu-
dent from: Italy, Germany, Honduras, Bulgaria, Kenya, Poland,
Surinam and Greece.
The lectures will be for a half
hour and a question-and-answer
period will follow. The talks will
be given in the administration
building, room 210, at 10:00 a.m,
on Oct. 9-10.
MEETS EXPECTATIONS
Fr. Leies stated that the talks
will fulfill the expectations of
Roswell P. Barnes, Executive Sec-
retary of the World Council of
Churches in the United States,
when he said, “Ecumenical
experience should lead to a bet-
ter understanding of the gospel,
and should lead to a deeper ex-
perience of the grace of God in
Christ.” _
Fr. Leies has lectured on the
bible to members of various mix-
ed groups. Bro. Totten has given
courses on Philosophy of Science.
