Senator Spears to Speak
On Urban Affairs at HR
State Senator Franklin S.
Spears, Texas state senator from
Bexar county, will deliver a lec-
ture on “Urban Government and
Its Influence on National and
International Affairs” at 7 pm
tonight at Reinbolt auditorium.
His speech is fifth in a series
of bi-monthly political lectures
sponsored by the Institute of
International Relations at St.
Mary's.
Tonight’s program will also
feature a talk by Dr. William
Livingston, professor of govern-
ment at the U of Texas, on “Pol-
itics in Great Britain: “Some Re-
cent Developments.”
Senator Spears, a San An-
tonian, received his education at
Jefferson High School (class of
’48) and at the U of Texas, where
he earned his LLB in 1954.
Elected to the Texas House of
Representatives in 1958, he rose
to the Senate in 1961, and was
this year unopposed for re-elec-
tion.
Spears believes that his legis-
lative labors have filled him with
a sense of the importance of in-
telligent urban government. But
he deplores “the neglect with
which this subject has been
treated in recent years,” and
hopes that his speech will help
to rectify the situation.
The speech will deal, specifi-
cally, with “the effects of urban
government on the American
democracy and its political ma-
chinery,” and with the possibility

Two Seniors
Take Trip
To A&M
Two 6t. Mary’s students will
join student leaders from approx-
imately 68 universities through-
out the Western Hemisphere at
the Eighth Student Conference
on National Affairs, SCONA, at
Texas A&M; Dec. 12-15,
The two delegates are Brett
Pechuls, senior government maj-
or from San Antonio; and Bill
Fricker, senior international rela-
tions major from Chicago.
Among the distinguished men
and women to be keynote speak-
ers, panelist, and round-table
chairmen is James Wadsworth,
head of the United States delega-
tion to the UN in 1960.
The purpose of this conference
is to conduct a series of inform-
ative and stimulating discussions
on “Sources of World Tensions.”
Through the serious exchange
of ideas among students over a
period of years it is hoped that
the conference will promote to
generation of interested and re-
sponsible leaders in national
and international affairs.
Bro. Duffy, Honorary Alumnus,
Reminisces 50 Years On Campus
By JOHN PAXSON
“I used to saddle our white
horse and ride down to the lake
for newspapers and mail left by
the trolley. Going was fine but
coming back I just hung on to
the reins,” Bro. Lawrence Duffy,
SM, recalled 50 years on this
campus.
“We started as a large grade
school and high school with a
small college and have progressed
steadily. This is, you might say,
our ‘Golden Age.’ The student
now has great independence and
leadership qualities. The school
ties are stronger because of the
organization between the Univer-
sity and the alumni.”
Visits from VIP’s
St. Mary’s came in contact with
many personalities during the
early years. MacArthur played
baseball here, Eisenhower coached
football, and Patton reviewed the
college student body. “We went
out to Fort Sam Houston and
hired a young Army lieutenant
to coach our football team. Lt.
Eisenhower (we never called him
‘Ike’) had a job to do and he had
YD's Increase
As Drive Ends
The number of Young Demo-
crats has increased to approx-
imately 150 members as a result
of a membership drive ended
Nov. 17.
In connection with the drive,
YD’s borrowed the KONO Radio
Station loud speaker sytem and
presented a political skit pre-
viewing the Y D program for the
year.
YD’s cruised the campus
encouraging everyone to “get
with the school spirit and help
building the bonfire for Home-
coming, Dec. 1.”
The membership drive was
climaxed with a party welcoming
new members last Saturday at
the residence of Bill Crane, pro-
fessor of government.
It is still possible for any stu-
dent to become a member of the
Young Democrats by contacting
Henry B. Gonzales jr. or one of
the officers at the regular club
meetings Friday mornings on
campus. Notices of meetings are
posted on the main bulletin board
betwen St. Louis and Reinbolt
halls.

a systematic way of doing it. The
boys were very impressed with
him. They knew about us (we
were the ones who wore black
coats); but he was an outsider, an
Army man. They saw -the integ-
rity and graciousness we tried to
teach.”
SLC Boarding School
St. Louis College was predom-
inately a boarding school with
strict rules of conduct and dis-
cipline. “We let the boys go to
town Sunday after chapel but
they had to be back by six. The
boys weren’t allowed to smoke
anytime. As they came home on
the trolley Sunday afternoon, the
faculty set up a portable tele-
scope on the top floor of the
Administration Building. We con-
fronted the smoker in the group
and they never figured how we
did it.”
Grid Contests
On Thursday, a free day, the
students were entertained by grid
contests, and by the new vogue,
moving pictures. On the other
three Sundays that the boarders
were not allowed in town, a group
might go to Kelly Field to watch
the five bi-planes taking off and
landing or just sitting in the
hangar.
Spirit Stronger Now
School spirit, the menace of
modern times, was weaker in the
“good old days” (1916). If any-
thing, the spirit was forced, “We
(the faculty) forced ourselves
on the students, now we offer
our services and the students
come to us.”
Where once coyotes howled
and foxes roamed, students to-
day cope with Jody calls and
cars’ meanderings. St. Mary’s
has drawn civilization to her.
Bro. Duffy has witnessed much
of this magnetic action, “I don’t
build fires, I just report them.”

LIEUTENANT JOHN MONTEFUHCQ, HISTORY MAJOR, CLASS OF ’61
“If I had it to do over again,
would I take Army R.O.T.C.?
My wife and I are in Panama at the moment. She likes
it. You know, Officers’ Club, dances—that sort of thing.
I like it, too. But whether I stay in the Army or not, the
question is: Would I take Army R.O.T.C. if I had it to
do over again? Yes, I certainly would. In spades, I
didn’t realize how lucky I was. At the time I figured:
Okay, so I’ll get my degree—get an Army commission,
too, and pick up some extra money along the way! I
wasn’t the leadership type, I thought. I was wrong. Boy,
was I wrong! Looking back on it, I wouldn’t trade the
leadership training I got for anything! Take my word
for it, leaders are made—not born! Whether I stay in
the Army or not, nobody can take away what I’ve
learned. And let’s face it, where can anybody my age
step out of college and walk into a standard of living this
good ? Look, if you have already invested two years in
college ROTC, take it from me: Stick it out! It’ll be
one of the smartest things you ever did. I say so.”
