Faculty Day Occupations Vary Like the student body, the Evening Division faculty is com- posed of a heterogenous group of men and women. Among its members several represent the medical profession while others are practicing attor- neys. Active and retired military personnel are also part of the teaching staff, as are civil service workers and members of South- west Research teams. By far the largest group are professional teachers and administrators who hold daytime positions at other levels of education. These are but a few of the professions of the motley group who have one thing in common — they like to teach. Mr. J. D. Cobb Biology Instructor Principal, Page Jr. High School Mr. George F. Conrad B.

Office Staff Maintains Records Mrs. Jackie Wolcott, Accounting Clerk Three full-time employees plus two student assistants perform the mountainous clerical tasks for the Night School. The bulk of their work centers around pre- paring and maintaining the records of each indi- vidual student. This involves making a perma- nent record card for each new student, posting all grades, comparing the data card against in- coming transcripts, and keeping a record of all dropouts. Multiply this by 4,500 and the job gets big. In addition, the office force must keep books on all tuition and fees as well as mail 1,500 schedules each term to interested organizations. 4A Angelina Saenz, Rccurds Clerk, Staff Secretary Diane Benson, Student Assistant Mrs. Bonnie Cundiff, Records Clerk

Night Students Emphasize Study Serious-minded San Antonians who work by day and study by night often choose SAC as their educational home base. In classrooms and in the library these students study diligently to fur- ther their education and to develop their talents. Their college life is truly all work and no play — much different from the Day Division. Social life for the evening students is limited to a 20-minute coffee break; however, they are entitled by way of a library-activity card to all of the extracurricular activities enjoyed by the Day Division students — free admission to music and drama productions, sports events, dances, and Planetarium shows. With better education as their goal the San Antonio College night owls hope to become the wise old owls of San Antonio ' s tomorrow. 6A Since many students come to college directly from work, the cafeteria is a convenient place to purchase hot meals as well as short order snacks. Gallons and gallons of coffee and soft drinks are consumed during break periods.
