Library Service Continuous Robert Stewart and Jacob Noll control the night voice of WSAC, the campus radio station which broadcasts during the evening break periods. The San Antonio College Library, as a serv- ice both to the college personnel and to the com- munity, remains open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday, and until 12 noon on Saturday. Evening students who rush by before or aft- er their classes or who come in for an evening of study or research usually find an unusual group assembled. They encounter day students working on the identical assignments which they are do- ing. Teenagers from local high schools may be researching for material not found in their own library. Residents of the community use the li- brary to gain knowledge of the present day. With- in the past two months the circulation record for a single evening has been broken several times. The six regular librarians alternate for even- ing duty. One is on hand each night, except for Tuesday when two are needed. Three student clerks serve as aides; one works in the periodicals division and the other two assist downstairs. 30 A

Hobbies Fit Many Categories These students from four different states are enrolled in a single English class. They are Ronald Fleming from Maine, T. A. McCoy from Pennsylvania, Patricia Mikkelsen from Ca lifornia, Michael Mahoney also from Pennsylvania, and Jim Stacey and George Man- uel both from New York. During the fall semester Audrey Dudley and Al- fred Rosebrock attended night school. But in the spring they enrolled as Mr. Alfred Rosebrock and Mrs. Audrey Rosebrock, and now are one of the numerous married couples attending San Antonio College. Michael ' ' Oifilliamson came from England last fall so he could attend college. He supported himself and was enrolled in both day and evening classes. Mi- chael said that he wished there was just one school in England with the wonderful educational oppor- tunities which SAC has opened to him. Miscellaneous honors run from a Red Cross volunteer to one of the first Protestant choir members to appear before the Archbishop of Crete to a baby sitter for John Glenn ' s children between 1948-51. Varied hobbies can be separated into four groups: outdoor, intellectual, technical, and ar- tistic. Some outdoor types are gardening, golf, hunting, rodeos, skiing, swimming, and tennis. Intellectual pastimes include chess, working crossword puzzles, nature study, reading, and study- ing Arabic. Among the artistic endeavors are ceramics, corsage making, dancing, sewing, and sketching. Technical hobbies pursued by SACites are automotive mechanics, electronics, photogra- phy, and woodwork. 29 A

First Night Yearbook Is Born Pictured here are 13 of the 17 members enrolled in the largest night school Journalism class in the history of the college. Although crowded into the small laboratory room, members still find space to work on their individual asssignments. This pictorial supplement to El Alamo, offi- cial college yearbook, shows San Antonio College after hours when the heterogenous Evening Divi- sion takes over. It is being given to each night student as a separate booklet, and is being in- cluded as a 32-page supplement to the regular yearbook. Financing for this project came from the student activity fee. The entire supplement was originated and prepared by night journalism students to fulfill their laboratory requirements and to give practice in writing. It also will serve as a college public relations facet. Since the night journalism class meets but once a week, material was gathered by questionnaires sent to selected classes in each De- partment. The photography was done by day publications staff members. Ordinarily, nocturnal journalists prepare two Night Ranger newspaper editions each se- mester as a class project, but the challenge to be original was too great, and this first Evening Di- vision yearbook in history is the result. Richard Qumn examines an edition of the New York Times in connection with his Journalism 301 study of the nation ' s foremost newspapers. 31
