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.

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.

Architects Prefer ' Construction ' Study of design, construction, landscaping, drafting, the use of color and other important principles form the basic program of the Archi- tecture Department. Offering the only complete- ly accredited junior college architecture curricu- lum, SAC creates additional classes as the demand arises. This spring three courses not available to the Day Division were on the Evening schedule. General Drafting, Architecture Building Con- struction, and Building Construction Estimating, plus three more subjects constituted the Archi- tecture courses offered to night students. Five instructors handled the combined en- rollment of 249 students. Credits in related sub- jects are available in several engineering, math- ematics, and humanities courses. A twist of the hand and he has a circle. Charles H. Duffin stares at the point of his compass, ready to give it a whirl, as he completes his project for a typical lab assignment in General Drafting. Estimates within a proposed bid bring smiles to Ray Turnbaugh, Richard Johnson, Raymond Clauss, and Instructor Joseph Buley during a laboratory session in Building Construction Estimating. The study of plan interpretation, quantity of materials, and analysis of construction conditions are among the areas listed in the course description. 7 A
