Along with them came one million dollars paid out by AFT Productions which proved to be quite a boost to local economy. College students, particularly future actor actress hopefuls, had some of the glamour and glitter taken from their traditional views of Hollywood stardom after long and tedious hours in the hot sun watching filming. Cameramen, crew and actors, along with the executive staff, proved to be very helpful and patient with the onslaught of questions and inquiries by townspeople and students.

A three-man race for president of the Associated Students highlighted student government elections. Running for the office were Dave Horton, Andy Jones and Steve Swan. In the first run-off in years, Horton defeated Swan to take a second term. Donna Goar ran unopposed for Associated Students vice-president. Cheerleader elections resulted in Elizabeth Morrow, Bill Bauml, Diane Langhamer, Megan Spencer, Dave Muston, Jill Kemp and Richard Petri being chosen to serve as spirit boosters for 1972-1973.

Travis Cornett (below) hooks for two points against Howard Payne M HI spring sports ng scene: cagers third, baseball axed Upsets, surprises and the discontinuation of the baseball program dotted the spring sports calendar at SWT as the basketball team notched third place in the Lone Star Conference, but the golf team, usually a contender for the conference crown, slipped to seventh. The Executive Council at SWT voted to drop the baseball program indefinitely. In posting their best mark since 1961 , Coach Vernon McDonald ' s basketball cagers finished with a 19-9 season record and 13-5 LSC finish to cop third place in conference action. Travis Cornett, one of three returning starters, broke the school sophomore scoring record with 507 points, an 18.1 points per game average. With 13 freshmen, Coach Al Reeh ' s track team finished sixth in the LSC, only 36 points behind conference champs Angelo State in a very tight race. Normally a powerhouse on the greens, the golf team dropped to seventh. Coach Keith Hoffman ' s golfers posted a respectable 3619 score in the 216 hole conference tournament. In accumulating only five points in the LSC tournament, the tennis team placed sixth in conference action, the netter ' s worst finish in many years. ' Cat baseballers skidded to an 8-16 record last year. In announcing the decision to drop the baseball program President Billy M. Jones said that baseball will not be revived until SWT can again compete on the level of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. -1 •• a y o ■ i:1- ill ' A A Blasting out of a sandtrap (top) requires good form Charles Estill (above), Belton sophomore, is off to becoming SWT ' s premiere middle-dis- tance runner Despite their 8-16 record, plays like this (left) show the ' Cats were capable of playing good ball. women ' s gymnastics (Opposite page) Easy does it for Hampton sophomore Janet Slade (center) on the bal- ance beam.

Under the direction of Coach Darlene Schmidt, the Schplatz moved among the ranks of TCIAW gymnasts to capture the first place position, beginner division and second place in the intermediate division during the state meet in Tarrant County in March 1972. Coach Schmidt explains that the spirit build-up began with coining the term schplatz. This name, which is used to label those individuals on the team who make some error during a routine, originated when one of the girls put together two common terms. From that day forward any girl who splatted in the most glorious form received the title Schplatz of the Week, and then worked harder to remove this stigma. Although coining a term to boost moral started the growth of team spirit, taking the first place in the Texas Women ' s University invitational meet opened the path to the state championship. After we came back, we went to practice and mounted a full scale attack to capture the state crown, Coach Schmidt said. The team as a whole reports that many of the things leading to the ultimate victory were deeply ingrained into the routines of life before the meet. After traveling to reach a contest, the team often camped out on the living room floor of friends. In fact, for the entire time they were at the meet, the girls lived as a family; eating, sleeping, yelling at, laughing and rushing around with each other. These short periods became so important to the girls that one said, It was always one of the biggest things of the meet; sometimes it even meant more than winning. graduation spring and summer grads near 2000 Spring and summer graduation exercises at SWT saw nearly 2000 degrees conferred in ceremonies at Strahan Gymnasium. The spring ceremony was May 1 9, while the summer event was August 19. Giving the keynote addresses at the spring graduation were Dr. Norman Peterson, associate professor of English and Dr. Bryce Jordan, president of the University of Texas at Dallas. Speakers at the summer ceremonies were Dr. W. E. Norris, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and Dr. O. L.

Vorkshops were scattered about all iummer. Perhaps the biggest was a Summer Theatre Workshop, sponsored by the department of speech and drama. Prospective actors and actresses studied creative dramatics and had the opportunity to stage several productions of their own. Other summer programs included a Law Enforcement institute, two special education seminars, a drill- team clinic and workshops in industrial arts, social studies, driver ' s education, school law and political science. In July, at the request of former President Lyndon B. Johnson, the department of speech and drama presented the drama, Raisin in the Sun in the theatre at the LBJ State Park in Stonewall. ebony players Ibj honors black actors The Ebony Players with their debut production, Raisin in the Sun, were honored with the premiere performance at the request of former President and Mrs. Lyndon Baines Johnson at the new theatre auditorium in the recently completed LBJ State Park. The personal invitation to the black drama group failed to mention the guest appearance of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Krim, president of United Artists. Besides the opportunity of performing before such an important figure in the field of the performing arts, the SWT group was honored with a $1 ,000 check, courtesy of LBJ.

Unfortunately that dubious title seems to have befallen SWT. With the coming of the weekend, the campus resembles a ghost town as students head for home or places of more action. With 32 percent of the total population of 11,812 students from the San Antonio-Austin area, it is not hard to see why the campus is deserted on the weekend. Although the 1972 enrollment total did not reach the anticipated 12,000 students, the new figure was a substantial increase over the 1971 figure of 1 1 ,280 students. During the past decade SWT has experienced a steady growth, more than tripling in terms of student population since the 1962 fall enrollment of 3,483 students. i r u enrollment mile radius (below) many students flock to the cities each weekend in search of excitement that has eluded them during the week. add-drop lines (above) forced students to wait jp to six hours before their courses could be corrected panty raid HMHBflH Some girls threw their panties into the College Inn pool (top) forcing men to dive in after the prized possessions.

Most girls obliged the chants by throwing out various forms of delicate lingerie. Some callers, however, were met by buckets of water. Flashbulbs lighted the sky continually during the raid. For freshmen, the raid was the most exciting event of their first three weeks of college life. The boys hesitated to leave, but vowed to come back. Within minutes, they returned, going so far as to beg beneath the windows. Unfortunately not all the panty-hungry boys were successful as many left empty- handed. fall carnival dunking, food, pasting etc. Want to dunk a cute Alpha Delta Pi in a tub of icy water? Or how about pasting a helpless Alpha Xi Delta? What about lemonade, hot dogs, some paper flowers for your room, a mug, or just plain fun? If this sounds good, the annual Fall Carnival, held Oct. 27, was the place to be. With a theme of Witches and Warlock Wingding, the Student Union-sponsored Fall Carnival offered students a night of eerie excitement as Roanoke street in front of the Student Center was transformed into a hay market of assorted stalls and booths sponsored by campus organizations. Students had the chance to test their skill, try their luck, grab a bit to eat, perhaps win a prize and make a lot of memories all at once. Climaxing the night was a dance in the Student Center Ballroom. fall carnival i:!:t!!:?3S«%s (Opposite page) Apples are always popular (right) especially in a bathtub in the street. Judy LaQuey.

SWT is not unlike other campuses throughout tne nation. On any given day, a myriad of styles, attitudes and thinkings perpetually inhabit the College on the Hill. As an individual intermingles with the college crowd, it is realized that many lifestyles exist along with your own. Take fashion for instance. Right off the bat, one can tell a cowboy or a hippie; a frat rat or a Joe cool. The general campus maxim for clothing is comfort. If it feels good, wear it. A little bit of everything is seen at SWT — jeans and jumpers, knits and knickers, minis and maxis, ties and togas. Many extremes exist.

The new beauty winner is Robin Falke, a statuesque Strutter nominee. The annual pageant, sponsored by the University Press Club, carried out a Vote theme, with red, white and blue dominating Evans Auditorium. From the original field of 55 nominees, ten semi-finalists were selected by the judges. The judging panel included Mrs. Fred Wright, Mrs. Luciano Flores, Ray Evans, Ed Kilgore, Noble Butler and Susan Peters, the reigning Miss Texas Universe. The top ten included Karen Andrews, Mimi Brennan, Jane Campbell, Miss Falke, Janelle Janicki, Becky Lawrence, Margie McLemore, Linda Scott, Dianne Stallman and Madelene Zimmerhanzel. After semi-finalist competition in swim suit and evening gown, five finalists were selected, who were each asked a question by Mistress of Ceremonies Nicki Stallman. The final balloting found Miss Falke to be the new All- Campus Beauty and runners-up including Miss Andrews, first; Miss Campbell, second; Miss Scott, third and Miss Lawrence, fourth.

The theme for the four day observance was Something Old, Something New, Look What We Have in ' 72. The bonfire, a tradition at SWT until 1967, was revived this year when the men of Lambda Chi Alpha donated land around their fraternity house for the occasion. Preceding the bonfire were the soap box derby, torchlight parade and pep rally. Other highlights of the 1972 Homecoming were the exes golf tournament, gaillardian reception and Homecoming dance. The ' Cats fell to Howard Payne 25-1 7 in Saturday afternoon ' s football game. Old Main, dating back to 1902, was renovated during the spring and summer of 1972. The remodeling efforts restored the original carved ceiling on the second floor of the one-time administration building. Plaques bearing the names of all former editors of the Star and Pedagog were revealed at the ceremony and have been placed on either side of the entrance to the campus landmark. Special guests at the rededication ceremony were Fred Adams, founder of the Star and former President Lyndon B.

Eleven stories ot peace and quiet are impossible to find anywhere else on campus. Books are on constant order to meet the demands of the knowledge hungry students. Organization is still a prime goal for the monstrous building. Every student study facility available is sought to cover the needs of the college student. The library is a warm building which offers a peaceful atmosphere when things get a little too hectic in the dorm or apartment. It houses the one who wants to study and the one who wants merely to sit in silence and wrestle with his thoughts. . 3fl Books are checked (above) by a library helper.

What started out to be a magnificent athletic contest was soon to be interrupted by a devastating tragedy — the merciless slaying of eleven Israeli athletes. Many other things happened that very possibly changed the attitude toward the Olympic Games. Disappointment struck the U.S. in the track events when Eddie Hart and Ray Robinson missed their semifinal heats and were disqualified because their coach gave them the wrong starting time. Bob Seagren lost in the pole vault to East Germany when the officials banned the pole he had used to set a world record last July and thus forced Seagren to use an unfamiliar pole. And another team member had his medal taken away for taking asthma medication. But not just the athletes had it bad. Eric Mann, a Los Fresnos sophomore at SWT went to Germany and worked as a ticket checker at the Olympics. He had to work many long hours for only $2.50 per day with two days off. Mann said one of the hardest and most frightening things was trying to find out about the Israeli tragedy. Although he had a basic knowledge of the German language, communication at that point was somewhat confusing and difficult. The tragedy threw his schedule off and thus created the problem of rescheduling his transportation tickets which is not an easy thing to do during the Olympic Games. To make matters worse, Mann caught the mumps while in Germany. Mann found the architectua fascinating.

At the time of Umoja ' s founding in 1968, there were approximately 14 blacks on campus, in 1969 the number went up to 20 and now there are 1 75 blacks on campus. As the black population grew, so did the need for new organizations. Soul Searchers, founded in 1969, and the Ebony Players, founded in 1971, gave the blacks a new outlet which enabled them to express their cultural abilities. However; there was still a need. The first black fraternity on campus was Omega Psi Phi founded in 191 1 at Howard University. Omega received its charter in September of 1972. There are nine actives, but interest among the black males cont inues to grow. Delta Sigma Theta founded in 1913 at Howard was the first black sorority to receive its charter. Deltas received their charter in October of 1972. They had a pledge class of eleven. Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority founded at Howard University in 1 908 received its charter in November of ' 72. They had a pledge class of 10. It appears that this should take care of the black population at SWT but as the years come and go, the blacks will increase. The need for new outlets will arise.

But it ' s all so sweetly rewarding, when she finally sees that pretty girl that ' s her up on that movie screen. She ' s a Strutter. And she ' s gone big time. The 85-member precision dance team, the girl show-group of the SWT band organization, credits itself now with being in an Audio Productions documentary Americanism. The girls are included in the movie along with a coast to coast cross-section of various interesting individuals, all representative of American spirit. The Strutters were included in this documentary because their strong individuality comes across, despite the precise unanamity of their performances. The girls also do a cameo in the movie The Getaway with Steve McQueen and Ali McGraw, filmed on location in San Marcos. The high- stepping coeds performed their usual routines, which were used as attention diverting decoys during the infamous Beacon City Bank robbery scene. Mrs. Barbara Tidwell, director- choreographer-charm instructor of the group, can take credit for the girls ' current fame, with her boundless energy and capacity as their task-master of perfection. Since the Strutters inception in 1960, she has spent endlessly demanding hours rehearsing the girls. Besides their recent appearances on the movies, the past years have given the Strutters the opportunity of appearing 29 times on national television (including two presidential inaugural parades and three gubernatorial parades). They have performed at the Dallas Cowboy football games, the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans and an annual performance at the Houston Oiler game in the Astrodome. Constantly innovating (their most recent routine is a tribute to Veteran ' s Day), one can only marvel at the ever-broadening scope and renown of that kaleidoscope of red capes. Strutters practice one of the 80 routines (above and left) that they must learn each year. wurstfest Dressed for the occasion, a happy German (below) dances with a South Texas beauty.

Many SWT students were on hand each night to dance and drink beer. Each year in October the visitors to the Texas-German folkfest gather to drink 20,000 gallons of beer and eat 20 tons of the famous sausage. In the 1972 celebration, more beer and sausage was consumed than ever before The huge Wursthalle, 400 feet by 70 feet, was the hub of the action each night in Landa Park. Inside the hall people could dance to the lively rhythm of a polka band or relax and enjoy the music of special guest Myron Floren of the Lawrence Welk Show.

Purdue University Debris 1971 greeks rush members Many students wish to participate in campus activities with some finding that Greeks enable them to fulfill this ambition. This campus boasts eleven fraternities who belong to the Inter Fraternity Council and six sororities belonging to Panhellenic, along with a new sorority being colonized this year. The eleven fraternities include Delta Tau Delta, Delta Upsilon, Kappa Sigma, Lambda Chi Alpha, Omega Psi Phi, Phi Kappa Tau, Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Nu, Tau Kappa Epsilon and Theta Xi. At the first of the year, they pick up men who have passed their grade requirement of 2.0 the previous semester. After the mid-semester grades are out the IFC holds open rush for freshmen who have passed the first nine weeks. The six Panhellenic sororities include Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Xi Delta, Chi Omega, Delta Zeta, Gamma Phi Beta and Sigma Kappa. In the fall, rush is held for transfer students with 30 hours or more and for any SWT student with over 12 hours. Later in the fall, Panhellenic holds an open house and convocation for any girl interested in going through spring rush. To be able to go through spring rush a girl must have completed 12 hours and at least a 2.0 GPA. The new soroity, Delta Sigma Theta, has started its colonization with eleven pledges. In Delta rush, a girl must have at least 1 2 hours and a 2.00 over all GPA.

At times the gimmicks succeeded; at times they failed, in the cheerleader ' s attempts of getting mobs of SWTexans to support their ' Cats. But that didn ' t matter for those who did come, however, as they witnessed two torchlight parades (Trinity and Texas A l), a hog calling contest (Texas A l), Homecoming bonfire (Howard Payne) and weekly spirit stick awards, given to outstanding spirit efforts by campus organizations. Skits were also presented weekly by the Spiriteers, a women ' s organization assisting the cheerleaders. Responsible for coordinating all these events were the seven cheerleaders — Megan Spencer, Diane Langhamer, Jill Kemp, Elizabeth Morrow, Bill Bauml, Richard Petri, Dave Muston and mascot Vicki Weber. pep rallies week-long Spirit Week preceeded the loot- all game with arch-rival Texas A l.

This story of a male-female confrontation was produced for the second time by the speech -drama department. The role of the male chauvinist, Petruchio, was played by Michael Howard. The part of the female liberationist, Kate the shrew, was played by Susan Mulhollan. The production enjoyed a successful run the past summer. Directed by James Barton, the play was presented in Elizabethan open stage style.

Nixon in one of history ' s great landslide votings. It was the first national election with SWT students marking ballots in the county. After the day-long lines had disappeared, the final tally revealed that Mr. Nixon had locally outpolled Democratic nominee George McGovern 5402-4068. In other Hays County action, Republican U.S. Senator John Tower defeated Democratic challenger Barefoot Sanders 4487-3987, and Democratic gubernatorial nominee Dolph Briscoe collected 4165 votes compared to Republican Hank Grover ' s 2560 and Ramsey Muniz ' 2467. Jubilant Republicans celebrated the victory of city resident Ann Hoch as county treasurer. Mrs. Hoch became the first GOP candidate to win a county position in contemporary times. In the state treasurer ' s race, Maurice Angley outpolled Democrat Jesse James 4550-3368 in area voting, but lost in the final state tally. To climax local voting, Democrat John Poerner defeated GOP challenger Jerry Houser 4832-3019 in a lively race for state representative and veteran campaigner Dem.

Cadets enter the program during their freshman and sophomore years and receive a monthly commission. They are required to take general military courses their first two years, while junior and senior cadets take professional officer courses. The first two years a cadet spends two hours a week in class and lab and his last two years, four hours a week divided between class and lab. Pending completion and obtaining a degree, a cadet, if he chooses, may continue in the Air Force with a rank of 2nd Lieutenant. From ROTC, the honorary Arnold Air Society stems. The society is a private professional service organization of cadets. Angel Flight, composed of university women, is an official Air Force ROTC auxiliary. It serves as a supporting organization to the Arnold Air Society. Three cadets (right) raise the flag in front of Evans.

The production was designed by Pat Hambrick, Brady graduate student, and ran Oct. 16 to Oct. 25. The play was written by Tennessee Williams and is largely autobiographical. The events, places and people are taken from Williams ' own memory of the 1930 ' s. During] the 30 ' s Williams became aware of the fact that he would never be suited to a routine life. This is the predicament Tom Wingfield faced in Tennessee Williams ' first play.

The daily routine does not necessarily determine the atmosphere, since the schedule from one day to another is similar — sometimes identical. Most students spend their time running the maze from dorm, to cafeteria, to class, to cafeteria, to lab, to home. The eight o ' clock classes come earlier, the three hour labs in the afternoon grow longer, and the night classes approach impossibility Some days when the timing is off, students meet new faces and new situations. That hope is the dream of the waking student. The word monotonous still expresses the majority of feelings concerning the weekly schedule, but then there is always the mail to look forward to.

Fest promoters speculated that some 10,000 of the expected 30,000 music lovers showed up to battle the .- security road blocks of the Texas Department of Public Safety and the acres of slushy mud created by the downpour of rain during the first two days of the four day event. One promoter accused that alleged frequent license checks and spectator harrassment were deliberate attempts to keep the fest from being successful. He indicated this was evidenced by the 145 cases filed in Hays County. Fifty arrests involved the breaking of state narcotics laws, the rest traffic violations. He also said that although everyone who managed the gauntlet of patrol cars to the fest had a fantastic time, many were shying away like the plague because no one likes to be hassled.

But just take a look at today ' s college students. Everyday a fashion show is held at SWT with everything from the newest fads to the oldest styles being seen. On the fashion markets today some of the styles are wide belts, pleats in the back of both men ' s and women ' s pants and two-toned shoes. The most popular colors are burgandy and green. In women ' s fashions, girls now wear angel sleeves and soft pastel colors of blue, pink and yellow. Big pants legs are popular, and the bigger the pants legs, the shorter the jacket that goes with them. Other things that are popular are blouses from Mexico, crop tops and blue jeans. The main thing in each girl ' s mind is to look as neat and feminine as possible. In men ' s fashions, the style has really gone back to the 30 ' s; they ' re wearing big cuffs, pleats in their pants, and even narrow belts.

Registration at SWT, scheduled for Jan. 10-12, was postponed due to impassable roads and freezing temperatures. Over an inch of snow and sleet fell on the campus on the hill and below 20 degree temperatures refused to let it melt. Taking advantage of the rare occurance, students who had returned to campus early let their ingenuity take command as cafeteria trays, cardboard boxes, sheets of metal and inner tubes were turned into snowsleds. Snowball fights, sled races down the many San Marcos hills, and snowman-building provided students with one last fling before setting down to studies, plus a lot of good old-fashioned fun.

In each room, the children play games, sing songs, work with handicrafts and listen to Bible stories. The hour ends as the heads of brothers and sisters appear in the doorway.

The Panhellenic Council on the other hand, held open house for transfer and upperclass students, and then one for freshmen. The days to remember of college do not end with this — they just begin.

SWT President Dr. Billy Mac Jones conferred the degrees upon the 34 masters and 546 baccalaureate degree recipients. Graduate School graduates were awarded their degrees individually, while the baccalaureate degrees were given en masse, with the degrees presented in groups by school following the formal commencement. Speaker for the ceremony was U.S. Congressman J. J.

While in Mexico the SWT delegation, joined by other college groups from around the United States, stayed in the Hacienda El Cobano, six miles from the rural, agricultural village of Colima. Owned and operated as a study center by the University of Oklahoma, the hacienda is used by institutions on a cooperative basis, providing housing for students studying everything from birds of the region and the Spanish language to cultural anthropology. Blending classroom study with an introduction to the Mexican culture, the students visited and shopped in Colima and made cultural trips to El Tule in the bordering state of Jalisco An all-day excursion to Guadalajara and the Pacific beach at Manzanillo were included.

And it stunned Southwest Texas State University. SWT ' s most famous alumnus had lost a 1 7-year battle with his heart. Lyndon Johnson had died. To say that he was a powerful, rugged man imbedded with the strongest of human characteristics would be trite. To say that he was both liked and disliked by his beloved Americans would be unnecessary. But to say that he was respected and admired by the students and faculty at Southwest Texas State University ' ■: would undoubtedly be true. : Few presidents have focused their attention on their alma mater in the way that Lyndon Johnson did. All in : all, LB J made 19 visits to the SWT campus, including six visits as President of the United States. His most recent visit came one week before his death, when he brought his former economic advisor, Walter Heller, to the campus to speak on the economy. But his devotion was not one-sided. Time and again, students and administrators welcomed the former President ' s visits. Throngs of SWTexans followed him whenever he was on campus. And he relished every minute of it. Lyndon Johnson ' s death cast a shadow on this campus that will never completely leave. The nation lost a great leader. SWT lost a great friend. ■ •I • II lyndbnbain s johnspn I :,% -v ' A ¥ ■ V J 1 11 As President, Lyndon Johnson paid a surprise visit (top) to his alma mater in 1 966.

I have asked this radio and television time tonight for the purpose of announcing that we today have concluded an agreement to end the war and bring peace with honor in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. — Richard M. Nixon, Jan. 23, 1973 With those simple words, it was over. A tragic war was finally ending. It seemed hard to believe at first. After all, it was America ' s longest war — causing anguish to four Presidents. It was a war that many Americans were beginning to feel was a tragic mistake — it cost 46,000 American lives and $146 billion dollars over the last dozen years alone. Peace with honor was President Nixon ' s way of putting the agreement. But at least the word peace was used in factual terms and not a dream that eluded everyone ' s conception. It came not one minute too soon. parking parking problems ' cussed discussed; no change near If you get desperate, just park it anywhere (right) and hope no one notices. What a sur- prise for some lucky person (below). It must have been a Monday. parking Even with two new parking areas west of Jackson Hall, parking conditions have gotten no better Looking south from Jackson, (bottom) one can see no available parking areas Second verse, same as the first. Or so it seems when it comes to the parking situation at SWT. One of the most frequently cussed and discussed problems on campus is undoubtedly the campus parking situation. Commuters and apartment dwellers seem continually disgusted at the inability to find any semblance of a parking space on campus. Even the parking lots near Jackson Hall, which two years ago were hardly used, are now filled each day. Is there no end in sight? At present, there are 4,500 parking spaces on campus. And eight-thousand plus parking permits were sold this year. It ' s the same story that has been repeated too many times. If something is not done about the parking situation in the very near future, the problem of parking which we now face will be miniscule compared to what ' s ahead in the future. pep rallies Spiriteers (top) mourn the death of an oppo- nent. Students (right) await the beginning of the torchlight parade. Cheerleaders lead yells to a crowd in Strahan gymnasium. pep rallies pep rallies: mickey mouse or contagious? ' It ' s not Mickey Mouse. It ' s a belief in one ' s particular school — it ' s a contagious thing, explains cheerleader Richard Petri in defending his belief in the necessity for expressing an avowed spirit and interest in his college and its activities. Intrinsic in the term cheerleader, however, is the supposition that there will be a crowd present to incite cheers of unification. So this year ' s unpredictable attendances at the pep rallies and athletic events were, of course, a deep disappointment, both to the cheerleaders and probably to the athletic teams involved. Despite the frequent sparsity of crowds, several pep rally events proved memorable. Initiating the first season game with Trinity was the traditional torchlight parade of fans, a nocturnal progression of lights moving slowly from the dormitory areas downhill to the pep rally area. The football game with TLC called for a reinstigation of the old Battle of the Bugle. The victor of the ancient rivalry becomes the possessor of this antique horn, which once again finds its home with the ' Cats. For the Homecoming game with Howard Payne, a revival of the Big Bonfire was celebrated after a five year ' s absence with huge crowds attending the reminiscent event. Enthusiasm is an indirect by-product of a group ' s belief in their region, their education, their identity. So long as this plentiful bounty is ours, why can ' t we learn to express aloud our celebration of it?

Kappa Sigs (above) cheer Coach Miller ' s comments about the upcoming game. women ' s curfew abolishment a victory for women ' s lib? Another victory for Women ' s Liberation? Maybe not on the national level, but it ' s certainly a revolutionary change for women dormitory residents at Southwe st Texas State University. Beginning February 19, women students were given greater freedom over their life styles when self- regulated hours went into effect. Mandatory signing out overnight and on weekends was eliminated also. For security measures, self-regulated hours did not mean open dorm. Under the new change, dormitory desks closed at midnight Sunday through Thursday, and 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday. Doors were secured at these hours, and male visitors had to leave the lobbies. Deputized male attendants were on duty from closing until 3 a.m. Sunday through Thursday to let residents into the dorms. Patrolling security guards, hired specifically for the curfew change, allowed women into the dorms after the male attendants got off duty on week nights, and after the 2 a.m. closing on weekends. Women, however, could leave the dorms any hour they pleased. Plans for a change in dormitory hours were on the Association of Women Students drawing board before the Equal Legal Rights Amendment eliminated discrimination because of sex, race, color, creed, or national origin. Last fall, AWS members began a study of life styles on other university campuses, questioning the operation and degree of success of each method. The future plans of the organization for change were hastened by the passage of Amendment Seven. Expressing the views of the Dean of Women and other women students, one coed said, I probably will not stay out later than the present curfew hours very often, but it is nice to know that I have the right to stay out later if I ever want to. Some head residents (above) may have been tempted to stay up waiting for her girls to come in while making the adjustment to self- regulated hours. With the great number of students leaving on weekends, lines to sign out (t°P center) were not uncommon. Mandatory sign out was abol- ished when the curfew change went into effect.

For most college voters, it was their first opportunity to mark a ballot in a national election and to prove that they planned to utilize the vote given them by Amendment 26. Native San Marcans hosted mixed reactions to the invaders of the election lines. Some citizens offered last minute campaign advice and shared Aggie jokes while others peered at the newcomers with fixed stares and wrinkled frowns. Whatever the reaction, the end result was obvious: students were determined to prove they were more than shoppers and rent payers — they were also citizens armed with a vote. The impact of student involvement was felt the most at ballot boxes at the city library and the American Legion hall where voting lines were longest. At both polling places the GOP ticket of Nixon-Agnew outpolled the McGovern-Shriver challenge. But the evidence of the student vote was more clearly reflected in the state treasurer ' s race where Republican student voters united forces backing reform candidate Maurice Angly and out-voted Jesse James 808-392 at the library and 1204-560 at the American Legion hall. Student voting power was also witnessed in the governor ' s race with the GOP ' s Hank Grover and Raza Unida ' s Ramsey Muniz collectively outpolling Uvalde ' s Dolph Briscoe 1 805-1 1 91 in the top two student precincts. Despite which campaign camp celebrated the victory November 7, both groups demonstrated that student involvement is now a part of the democratic process in San Marcos. The government gave them the right to vote, and the students proved that they would use it — even if it required standing in line for several hours and being frowned on occassionally. Stop signs (above) were used by various peo- ple for various reasons.

Student voting power gave the added impetus as liquor by the drink passed by a vote ot 1,709-1,314. A Pedagog investigation found that there has been no increase in liquor- related crimes since the passage of the brew over the bar subject, despite the fact that dissenters argued that its passage would bring an increase in drinking drivers, thus causing more traffic accidents and higher insurance rates. Contrary to the expectations of the anti-liquor forces, San Marcos Police Department statistics six months later showed no rise in local liquor-related crimes. The Miscellaneous Arrest book indicated that 92 driving-while- intoxicated offenses had been committed locally through September 1972 — but the total for the same period of time a year earlier during the pre-saloon era was 1 09. A police spokesman said most DWI offenses are committed by non- residents driving through the city and that most liquor violations involved the same people before and after the election. Mrs. Dawn Cole, secretary to the chief of police, said, There has been no drastic rise in drunk in public or liquor related offenses. In fact, figures show there is less this year than last year. Meanwhile, on the other side of the beer can, the folks who remembered the promises of improved roads with new income from liquor by the drink are still cursing neglected local streets as their cars wallow through pot holes enroute to their favorite bar. dean anderson controversy Dean of Women Lunelle Anderson delay on resolution arouses controversy The Student Senate resolution was simple enough. It called tor revision of the campusing policy for women dormitory residents, whereby 30, rather than ten, calldowns would result in a campus, which is the confining of a coed to the dorm for an evening. But the event stemming from the reply of Dean of Women Lunelle Anderson was as if Pandora ' s box had been opened right on the SWT campus. Dean Anderson said that the Senate ' s recommendation would be given to the Association of Women Students committee that revises the AWS Handbook at the end of the school year. When Senate Chairman A. D. Muller read the Dean ' s reply to the Senate, it caused a furor among the Senators. Senator Bill Boe termed the Dean an inadequate administrator and commented that you won ' t get much change from the dean ' s office until Dean Anderson is fired. Chairman Muller added that the reply from the Dean meant that no consideration on the bill would be taken until the handbook is written next year . . . just another wasted year. An editorial appeared in the University Star the following week, taking the side of Dean Anderson. One week later, however, Letters to the Editor in the Star took the side of Boe. Boe, himself, wrote the paper, saying that my remarks were not aimed at any one reply from Dean Anderson but at her collective attitudes and actions in past months concerning areas of reform the Senate has advocated. In February, after the issue had died down somewhat, Dr. Jones commented that the controversy was behind us. It was just one of those things that does not benefit the university. It is not wise, Dr. Jones added, to individualize dissent. Rhetoric aimed at a person ' s character does not seem to constructively ease matters. Maybe Pandora ' s box should be closed. dean anderson co ntroversy UE ANDERSON Student Senator Bill Boe (far left) termed Dean of Women Lunelle Anderson an Inadequate administrator after the Dean ' s delayed action on a Senate recommendation dealing with the campusing procedure for women dormitory residents. Though not an integral part of the controversy, the case of Cathy Chadwell (left) in the spring of 1972 had bearing on Boe ' s statement. Miss Chadwell was dismissed from her job as proctor at Falls Hall and forced to withdraw from the university for the remainder of the semester after the head resident found unopened liquor samples in her room. Bumper stickers (above) appeared on campus reflect- ing some students ' encouragement to dismiss the dean of women. the book business As perennial as the grass is the occurrence that precedes each semester at a given university. Time and again, students trod well-worn paths to the campus book store or to downtown establishments to purchase materials, namely books, for the coming trials of a semester of study. And time and again, students are confronted with rising prices. Or with, We ' re all sold out of used books. Here ' s a new one for just $4 more. Or with that oft-repeated, Sorry. Sold out. We ' ll have them in about three weeks. Astonished students find out that the book they sold back to the stores the previous semester are now marked for re-sale at an increase of 27%. And that book you tried to sell back, but could only get fifty cents because no classes are using it this semester, is now being offered at a bargain table for $1 .50. The book business is a big business. There should be a better way for students to succeed in thi s business. Perhaps a student-operated book exchange might be the answer. Or perhaps, just more word-of-mouth, student-to-student book trading might help. There ' s bound to be a better way. a time to buy, a time to sell Student (above left) writes a check for her pur- chase. Mike Watts (above) sells back an eco- nomics book.

Currently, some of the most popular and important contributions being made are those that help clean up our environment. What once was considered only a fad by skeptics and onlookers has now become an obsession for many — doing whatever they can to fight the ugliness that has unfortunately fallen upon our country. The ecology bit was first looked upon as just another issue for the youth to harp on. But gradually people began to see the real picture — that if something was not done immediately, clean water and air might be a thing of the past. Slowly things began to happen. Industry heard the cries of the people. Politicians began talking about it. Congress passed a few laws. It follows that industry, politicians and the Congress should be commended for their part in the ecology battle. But the biggest tip of the hat should go to those young people who first awakened the country of the danger that is fast approaching. 2 R 5 ! 8 iffi ,jN ' f san marcos san marcos business boom attributed to Does San Marcos really depend that much on Southwest Texas State University for its business and economy? While most local townspeople begrudge that thought, the answer is a resounding yes. Studies by the Urban Renewal Agency reveal that 71% of all SWT students frequent San Marcos ' central business district at least three times a week. The survey also showed that at the time of interviewing, 43.4% of the responses came from SWT students, more than half of whom said that they came to town to shop for personal items. With one new business opening on the average of every five days it appears that San Marcos is on the verge of an economic boom. Many of the new businesses cater to university students — eight new clothing shops have opened in the past eight months and five new drive-through food establishments await the student. With passage of liquor-by-the-drink, three pubs have opened. In all, nearly $900,000 worth i ' l • ' ' tuns « iW • i xr 11 Novelty and gift shops (above) have sprung up, luring students.

This rash of new businesses is the end product in a long chain of events beginning after World War II. Shortly after this war ended, reunited American families went on a baby- making spree, known as the baby boom. Now the babies are grown and have headed off to college. The effect on university towns has been another boom, this time a business boom, similar to that presently underway in San Marcos. Surely it is impossible to attribute all of this growth solely to the influx of the university population. But the seemingly close relationship between these two phenomena, however, is easily suggested and maintained.

Much has been written about what a great coach he was and the outstanding statistics he achieved during his career, but in the final analysis, these speak little of the great man that he truly was. Not only was Jowers, 58, still the university athletic director at the time of his death, but his activity, even in the crippled condition which cancer brought, amazed those around him. Milton passed from this life like he lived -—fighting, reflected University President Dr. Billy M Jones. He never lost confidence or hope. iji This, desire and determination was a ; Jowers trademark, enabling him to accomplish the outstanding record which stands beside his name. Beginning at the high school level, Jowers compiled a 223-20 record, including a 45-1 state champion at San Marcos High. As ' Cat cage mentor from 1 946-1 961 , his teams ran up a 287-105 mark, winning four Lone Star Conference championships and the NAIA championship in 1 961 . Jowers was NAIA coach of the year in 1 960 and a member of the NAIA hall of fame. In 1961 he took the reigns of the football squad here, resulting in a 48-1 8-2 slate, with an unbeaten 1 0-0 team in 1 963. Maybe Jowers did not receive the publicity and fame that coaches like Knute Rockne, the famed Notre Dame mentor of days past, but certainly, in the minds of all who ever were associated with the wise old gentleman, SWT and the coaching profession lost one of its greatest men when Milton Jowers was laid to rest. — David Birdwell J Coach Jowers (above) prepares for another basketball work-out. milton jowers, 1914 — 1972 i ) Jowers (left) consults a player during a football game.

When the 1 972 football season dawned, it was one full of promise — 22 lettermen returned from the 8-1-1 Lone Star Conference co- championship team of 1971 . The only real question mark was an imposing one — the quarterback slot had to be filled. Noe Gonzalez, a 6 ' 2 , 202 pound junior from San Diego (Texas) stepped into the quarterback position from the outset. Showing his versatility, he switched from safety to the man-under, twice being named Lone Star Conference Player of the Week. All purpose backs Josh Brown and Monroe Daniels spearheaded the offense. Although Brown injured an ankle in the TLC game and Daniels broke an arm, both had outstanding years. Brown finished with 1,011 yards rushing to set a ' Cat season record. Strong safety David Wuest booted 1 2 field goals in 1 9 attempts and converted 21 of 23 extra points. The 12 three-pointers set an LSC record. Bob Daigle, synonymous with offense, was selected as NAIA Ail- American center for the second straight year. Linebacker Nathan Gutowsky, middle guard Ray Jackson and defensive back Jim Stienke led a defense that stifled enemy offenses. The SWT defensive unit limited opponents to 14 points per game. The ' Cats ' 7-3 season record and 6-2 LSC mark were a bit below expectations, but included a satisfying verdict over arch-rival Texas A l and a narrow three point loss to eventual NAIA national champion East Texas. The East Texans have now beaten SWT five straight times. However, with losses totalling only eight seniors, prospects are bright for the 1973 season. Josh Brown (above) churns for four yards.

The ' Cats started with their expected explosiveness, marching 73 yards for a touchdown on their first offensive drive of the season. Monroe Daniels crossed the Trinity goal with 7:50 left in the first quarter to climax the drive, with David Wuest adding the extra point. After the drive, the Bobcats succumbed to penalties, fumbles and incompletions. The ' Cat defense kept the Tigers checked with just 223 total yards for the night.

The Bobcats ' decisive rally came with 14:40 left in the game when Gonzalez hit Watson with a 29-yard pass.

The Rams had been picked by most experts to win the LSC this year. With the score knotted 3-3 midway through the final period, quarterback Noe Gonzales engineered a sustained scoring march for what proved to be the winning touchdown. Tailback Monroe Daniels capped the 12-play, 67-yard drive by crashing over from the one yard line with 6:53 left in the game, David Wuest added the extra point, making the final score 10-3.

In forcing five fumbles, the ' Cat offensive line paved the way for Monroe Daniels to gain 108 yards of real estate. The defense repeatedly thwarted TSC ' s scoring drives and set up short scoring marches for the offense. Defensive end Clay Roland ' s interception and return for a touchdown earned praise from ' Cat mentor Bill Miller, who also praised the offensive unit, saying, I was well-pleased with the offensive progress.

After putting the ball in play at their own 33-yard line with 2:02 left in the game, SWT began to march. Gonzalez hit wide receiver Robert Watson for 1 1 yards, and subsequently found Watson again for 40 yards on a crucial third down play for a first down at SFA ' s 19-yard line. On the next play, fullback Josh Brown pulled in for five yards, and then on the next play, zipped a 1 4- yard touchdown pass to flanker Ben Scharnberg for the deciding points. The Lumberjacks came right back, driving to the Bobcats ' 1 5 yard line before cornerback Aaron Randow intercepted a pass in the end zone with six seconds remaining to ensure the triumph.

Grabbing the lead with 4:48 left in the first quarter following an interception of a Bearkat pass, SWT ' s Monroe Daniels swept four yards for the score. David Wuest ' s conversion put the ' Cats on top 7-0. Moments later the Bobcats took advantage of a fumble recovery and proceeded to drive 41 yards in seven plays to a touchdown. Daniels culminated the march again with a three-yard TD dash While the Bobcat defense blunted Sam Houston ' s offensive efforts, quarterback Noe Gonzalez banged across from two yards out. The PAT by Wuest made it 20-0 at the half.

The loss put the ' Cats in second place in the LSC with a 4-1 record. The Bobcats did not take long to show their opponents that they meant business, scoring thrice in the initial stanza to take an overwhelming 1 7-0 lead going into the second quarter. But a 20 point barrage by East Texas in the second period erased the ' Cats short-lived lead. The Lions accomplished what no other team had done before against the SWT defense — score lots of points in a short period of time. The ' Cats were defeated primarily through the air, as ET quarterback Will Cureton heaved a pair of scoring tosses in the second quarter. The only points SWT could muster came from Wuest ' s 44-yard field goal. The score was knotted 20-20 at the half. The lead exchanged hands twice in the second half with ET grabbing the second half kickoff, driving 80 yards for a touchdown. Wuest ' s third field goal of the game made it 26-23 at the end of three quarters. SWT battled back in the final period with a 59-yard scoring march to take a 29-26 lead. Monroe Daniels took it in from 1 2 yards out behind great blocking, but the extra point attempt was foiled by a bad snap from center. It was not enough, however, as ET stormed back with a touchdown pass with 5:01 left in the game, making the final score 32-29. howard payne howard payne rally sinks ' cat title hopes Two fourth-quarter touchdowns by Howard Payne spelled doom for SWT on Homecoming afternoon as the Bobcats dropped their second tilt in succession, 25-17.

One score came on a 40-yard touchdown strike to wide receiver Robert Watson from quarterback Noe Gonzalez. David Wuest ' s 24-yard field goal decreased the deficit to two points with 6:13 left in the third quarter. With 10:40 left in the game, Howard Payne stormed back on an 85-yard touchdown drive for a 19-10 lead. The Bobcats answered the challenge with an 8-play, 69-yard march for score. Fullback Josh Brown capped the effort with a one-yard plunge, and Wuest ' s conversion made it 19- 17 with 7:40 left. Things were looking up for SWT.

' cat defense stifles lobos Completely dominating the statistics, SWT used top-notch performances by Josh Brown and the Bobcat defensive unit to stifle the Sul Ross Lobos 13-0 on Nov. 10 in Del Rio. The Bobcat defense, consistent a season, kept the Lobos at bay throughout the game. Sul Ross threatened only twice and both times SWT forced crucial turnovers to thwart the scoring drives. The Bobcat offense was sparked by Brown, the indispensible running back who rolled for 209 yards on 38 carries. The 210-pound senior also scored both ' Cat touchdowns. A second quarter touchdown by Brown, which came at the end of a 13 — play, 73- yard drive, was all the Bobcats needed for the victory. The ' Cats added an insurance touchdown with 4:14 left in the game as Brown ran in from four yards out, giving SWT a 13-0 advantage. Quarterback Noe Gonzalez added 83 yards rushing to Brown ' s total as SWT outgained the Lobos in total yardage, 383-1 76. Gonzalez also completed three passes for 69 yards.

The victory, which gave the Bobcats a 7- 3 overall record and a 6-2 conference slate, was not secured until late in the fourth quarter when SWT went 75 yards for the winning points. Brown stormed his way for 200 yards in 44 carries that night, breaking his own season rushing mark. On first down at their own eight, A I fumbled and Mark Sandahl recovered on the one yard line. It took just one thrust by Brown to score, and Wuest ' s PAT made it 7-0 with 9:46 left in the initial period.

The Hogs put the pressure on SWT with a 90-yard scoring drive in the final quarter. The touchdown and extra point made it 16-13 in favor of the Hogs with 13:14 remaining.

NAIA All-American center Bob Daigle (54) and guard David Williams (65) make possible (above) another Brown touchdown plunge basketball non-conference foes rough Originally pegged for third in the rugged Lone Star Conference, the Bobcats ' non-conference action seemed to disprove that lofty rating as Coach Vernon McDonald ' s roundballers lost their first two games of the season and could only manage an even break in remaining games for a 3-3 mark against opponents outside the LSC. Lacking the offensive punch that was expected of them, the ' Cats lost their first two outings to San Antonio opponents — 70-51 to St. Mary ' s and 59-52 to St. Edward ' s. Things looked up, however, in the Alamo Classic as SWT swept Pan American 76-53 and St. Mary ' s 68-60 on the way to the tourney crown. Forward Bruce Featherston was named the tourney ' s most valuable player. SWT ' s two other non-conference games resulted in a split as the ' Cats nipped St. Mary ' s 49-48, but fell in overtime to Southwestern 62-56. In conference action, the ' Cats lacked the consistency to keep them near the top. To date, the cagers are in fourth place with a 10-6 slate (13-9 overall) with games against Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston, the nation ' s number one small-college team, remaining. Junior Travis Cornett leads the offense with a 19.1 points per game average, followed by Featherston ' s 14.9.

The first game saw SWT handed its first LSC loss, but the second bout was a 29 point rout for the ' Cats. Poor shooting from the line was the major reason for losing when SWT took on the Lobos Jan. 2 and lost 77-62. Being nearly evenly matched (28-26) in field goals, a 21-10 free throw advantage propelled the Lobos by the ' Cats. The tables turned when the two teams met again at San Marcos as SWT never once relinquished the lead to win 78-49. The ' Cats led at half by 12, 38-26.

The Rams whittled that lead to two points before Double overtime was needed to determine the winner in the second game. The game was nip and tuck all the way.

Sprinters, vaulters and every other manner track person take to the field in preparation for the coming meets. Finally the day comes and the test of abilities is at hand. The Bobcats, coached by Al Reeh, prove equal to the task. In their first meet this year, the ' Cats met Pan American and Texas A l at Kingsville in blustery, cold weather. Although hampered by the climate the Bobcats looked good in the non- conference outing. Hoping to demonstrate their winning ways, the hometown crowd then ventured to Jeppesen Stadium for the University of Houston Invitational meet. Coach Reeh entered a 20-man roster for the meet which highlighted relay events. tennis ong season awaits netters Led by two lettermen and pair of junior college transfers, the SWT tennis team has scheduled an extremely busy season including 22 matches and the Lone Star Conference tournament. The schedule includes major NCAA universities such as Pan American, the University of Texas at Austin and Southwestern Louisiana. Returning lettermen are Howard Giesick and Marvin Henderon, who posted a doubles mark of 1 0-4 last year. Giesick, from New Braunfels, has three letters while Henderson, a Georgetown junior, has been on the squad for two years. Junior college newcomers include Gene Morris of Corpus Christi, a former member of the nationally-ranked Central Texas College team and Donald Rauschuber from San Antonio.

Coach Keith Hoffman ' s golf team hit the links in a hurry this spring starting the season with the Trinity Invitational in San Antonio and two matches at Quail Creek here before the end of February. The team took fourth place in the Trinity meet held earlier in the month at Pecan Valley golf course. In the first home match the Cats played host to the Trinity Tiger squad. After giving it all they had the Tiger team fell victim to the superior skills of the Bobcat club. Texas Lutheran next visited the Hill in an attempt to stop the hard working SWTexans. However, the long fairways and fast greens of Quail Creek combined with reaching drives and bullseye putting of the not too obliging ' Cats proved too great an obstacle for the Bulldogs to overcome. Both Hoffman and his team share high hopes as they continue in Lone Star Conference play.

DR. JONES: Most of the literature coming out today on higher education is aimed at a very careful introspection of what programming needs there will be for the decade of the 1970 ' s and 80 ' s. There is a good deal of discussion surrounding education outside the university community and how it relates to over-all degree planning. _L iis is generally referred to as co munity service or continuing adult l Jucation. There ' s a lot being said about occupational and vocational training, and inverted education, so that a person gets quickly into his vocational and technical training, delaying until some more appropriate time the liberal arts sequences which complete the baccalaureate degree. The chief mood or force in higher education today is the very close internal introspection of what we ' re doing and what we must be doing — what changes we ' re going to have to make in the months and years ahead to meet the needs of students who are going to be getting jobs in the 70 ' s and 80 ' s. PEDAGOG: How can you relate these changes to Southwest Texas? DR. JONES: We ' re already beginning to do that. We ' ve initiated a new school of Allied Health Professions headed by Dr. Don Green. This is on- the-job, clinical experience in the guess the big ques- tion is whether or not the BA, MA, Ph.D. syn- drome we ' ve lived with for some three decades now is appropriate for students of the 70 ' s and 80 ' s. health professions, associated with liberal arts sequences of study. I guess the big question is whether or not the BA, MA, Ph.D. snydrome we ' ve lived with for some three decades now is appropriate for students of the 70 ' s and 80 ' s. The answer to that seems to be increasingly negative. We need to adjust our programs in such a way to meet these recurring demands of students who want an intermediate goal or achievement on the way to their life long occupation. PEDAGOG: The Board of Regents has approved a new master plan for SWT. What is to be included in this master plan and when can we expect it to be completed? DR. JONES: Well, a master plan is a five-year proposition. The first master plan that I know of for SWT was done in Dr. McCrocklin ' s administration in 1967. We have extended the first campus master plan for another five years, analyzing the needs of SWT during that time. The new master plan has several priorities, the first of which includes a coordinated design of art expansion, a modern education center and a modern student center. The overall cost of this first priority will be somewhere between $6-$7 million. The second priority is a multi- purpose field house designed to coordinate the needs of health, physical education and recreational academic programs, including inter- collegiate athletics, intramural programs, entertainment, convocations, and perhaps some professional conventions associated with education. The third priority is expansion of the industrial arts facilities. Though this will be modest, it will be well-designed. The total package of the master plan will probably approach $12 million. PEDAGOG: In summing up, Dr. Jones, do you feel that the administration is keeping stride to meet and prepare for our growing university? DR. JONES: Very definitely. This university is probably one of the leaders in trying to adapt in all areas to the needs of the 1970 ' s and 80 ' s Perhaps it ' s true that some regard us as moving too slow, but I believe that if you analyze what we ' ve done and accomplished in the past 18 months, what is projected for the next 18 months, the current moods and attitudes on campus, the open- mindedness of both faculty, students and administration, you ' ll find us quite in step with modern times, and in many cases, in front in development of attitudes and programs to meet the needs of the 1970 ' s and 80s. vice-presidents jack cates Jack Cates, vice-president tor fiscal affairs, coordinates all of the university ' s money matters. Joining the university in 1950 as business manager, Cates served as comptroller before assuming the vice- presidency.

Graduate courses were first offered during the summer session of 1 936 and the first Master of Arts degree was conferred at the spring commencement of 1937. In 1950, the Board of Regents authorized the granting of the Master of Education degree in addition to that of Master of Arts. In 1968, action of the Coordinating Board, Texas College and University System, added the degree of Master of Business Administration for implementation in 1 969 and the Master of Science in 1970. The graduate program, originally designed exclusively for the preparation of teachers and school administrators, has been expanded more recently to meet other demands, such as the preparation of junior college instructors and to fulfill the present role of the university as a general-regional education institution.

Dr. J. Lloyd Rogers, dean of the School of Education, has under his direction five different varieties of educational experiences. The department of education, chaired by Dr. James Garland, specializes in educating students to teach creative and applied arts in the public school systems. These teachers will be placed throughout Texas in elementary and secondary schools. The department of health and physical education, headed by Dr. Ted Keck, specializes in the physical development of students, as well as the development of qualified coaches and teachers for the public school system. The industrial arts department, headed by Dr. Victor Bowers, deals with the practical application of drafting and construction, especially those oriented to the students in the public schools. The psychology department, chaired by Dr. David Stimmel, deals with the study of the human mind with special emphasis on behavior. The department of special education deals with the instruction of the mentally slow or physically handicapped. Students may specialize in speech pathology, audiology, minimum brain injury, or language learning disabilities. Dr. Empress Zedler is chairman of the department. «r • l Dr. James Garland (top) chairman of the Edu- cation Department. Dr. Empress Zedler (left) chairman of the Special Education Department.

Abrahamson, and the economics department, chaired by Dr. Maurice Erickson. Business students may elect an area of concentration from accounting, marketing, management, finance, economics, computer science or office administration. The department also offers two new master ' s degree plans for graduate students, and has recently added a number of additional courses to the undergraduate and graduate curricula. Students and faculty in the economics department were busy planning a thorough study of the economic situation in San Marcos, in an attempt to give the people of the town a more complete knowledge of the local economy and assist them in planning for the future. Two degree programs are offered by the department, but its most important role is to supplement programs in other department s. Courses in regional economics and international trade are used to supplement concentrations in international relations and regional and urban planning.

Last spring, the campus ' medical technology program received the current status as a school offering training in inhalation therapy, respiratory therapy, dental hygiene and several other fields. This spring between 400 and 500 students were enrolled in the medical assistance program, preparing for careers which will pay from $4,000 to $25,000 per year. Trainees for the program first receive classroom instruction here on campus. They then receive on-the- job training and experience in working with patients at St. David ' s and Holy Cross Hospitals in Austin. Once a student receives his certification as a qualified medical assistant, the school places him in a job position according to his particular field. The Allied Health program is unique to college curriculum in that it emphasizes the relationship between the student ' s academic and professional life by combining scholastic preparation with training for a career in the health field.

Norris, consists of three schools: the School of Liberal Arts, chaired by Dr. J. Ralph Randolph; the School of Creative Arts, chaired by Dr. Ralph Harrell; and the School of Sciences, chaired by Dr. A. O. Parks. In the College of Arts and Sciences, the subject matter varies widely from the technical sciences to English and history to drama and music. The college includes the departments of art, music, speech and drama, English-philosophy, religion, geography, history, modern languages, political science, sociology, anthropology, biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics. Science Building (upper left). Speech and Drama Building (above). Fine Arts Building (left). beral arts iberal arts school fills numerous needs The School of Liberal Arts, the largest in terms of course offerings, is headed by Dr. J. Ralph Randolph. Departments within the school include English-philosophy, history, geography, modern languages, political science and sociology- anthropology. In the spring of 1972, the SWT English-philosophy department served more than 5,500 students, primarily because of the university ' s English and humanities requirements. One of the features of the English department that has been in effect for five years is the assistant instructor program designed for those graduates with B.A. degrees who wish to teach while working towards an M.A. in English. Newly-named director of the philosophy division, Dr. Keith Lovin will relieve Dr. Martha Brunson, chairman of the English department, of some of the administrative work connected with her large department. The department now offers a total of 41 hours of philosophy, concentrating largely on a strong undergraduate program with the ultimate goal of offering a philosophy major and becoming a completely separate department. Providing graduates with the training necessary for employment in the mapping and aerial photography areas and in urban and regional planning are the goals of the geography department. Taking care of a rapidly expanding enrollment (some 5,000 students took history courses in the fall, including 500-600 majors) and, at the same time, meeting individual needs of the students are the aims of the history department. A new master of arts in teaching degree, active participation in state- wide language organizations and a special counseling service for language majors are highlights of the modern language department. Unexpected success in its government internship program, which ha s been expanded to include graduate students, highlighted a successful year for the political science department. The department also sponsors a student-faculty symposium six times a year, bringing to the campus such people as the Ambassador of Sierra Leonne and the Consul General of Israel. The department of sociology- anthropology had a 54 percent increase in majors. Sociology students have been accepted to work in area state hospitals, state schools, juvenile courts, probation offices and welfare offices. A popular program for anthropology students is the annual foreign studies course in Colima, Mexico, a three-week mini- session during the Christmas break which emphasizes the study of Meso and South American Indian cultures.

These departments use the latest teaching and research methods. The four departments are able to update and evaluate methods and materials through the help of a three-year National Science Foundation Curriculum Improvement Grant. During the spring of 1972, the School of Sciences hosted the Texas Academy of Sciences Convention. At this convention, many representatives of the school faculty gave dissertations from aquatic biology to quantum theory. t ( W Dr. Herbert Hannan (top) chairman of the biol- ogy department.

The speech and drama department, under the direction of Dr. Elton Abernathy, provides educational experiences to students interested in speaking and acting. The department sponsors large-scale play production, one-act plays, reading hours and children ' s programs. The art department, headed by Dr. Charles Suckle, makes culture through the media of art available to students. The department sponsors art sales and shows and often helps with prop design for dramatic productions. The music department, chaired by Dr. Arlis Heibert, brings the musical aspects of creative arts to the campus. This department joins in any musical dramatic production as well as providing concerts and half-time entertainment at football games.

If I have helped them understand, somewhat better themselves and other people, then I count this my major contribution. A major problem, he feels, is establishing a balance between career education and a liberal arts education. But there is no new problem, Dr. Schultz quickly adds, it has been merely accented by the rapid changes in our culture and society. Dr. Schultz is currently co- sponsor of Alpha Chi and has been sponsor of the Student Senate and the Sociology Club. His current publications include a handbook for the 22nd Judicial District and the National Safety Administration. He presented a paper to the Southwestern Sociological Association in March. dr. martin o. juel Dr. Martin O. Juel (far right), professor of education, served 15 years as Dean of Students before resigning to full-time teaching. Since that time, he has worked towards the establishment of the department of health education, which was incorporated here this year. He serves as coordinator of health education and is responsible for the two majors in this program. Dr. Juel serves on the Texas Association of Health, Physical Education and Recreation and has developed public school curriculum guides in health education. He also sponsors Alphi Phi Omega, Kappa Delta Pi and Phi Kappa Tau. dr. william pool Dr. William C. Pool ' s theory on teaching is very simple — the teacher should present the subject matter in a concise and simple manner that all can understand. A teacher, he says, is always and forever a student. In his twenty-fifth year at SWT, Dr. Pool has had 1 4 articles and books published. He also sponsors Phi Alpha Theta, the Organization of Umoja and Delta Upsilon fraternity, and is a member of various state and national historical associations. pedagog 1973 teaching excellence awards L outstanding teachers dr. Sidney edwards Education, says Dr. Sidney Edwards, professor of biology, is a student-teacher relationship, not a student-administration relationship. ' ' College teachers, he feels, must have rapport with students, with a keen degree of understanding for the student as an individual. Dr. Edwards is a Texas Academy of Science Fellow and belongs to the American Institute of Biologists and the Texas State Board of Examiners, division of basic sciences. dr. norman peterson The teacher must assume at base, explains Dr. Norman Peterson, associate professor of English (below), that all knowledge, all human activity, is valuable because it is of human use, as basic as friendship and intimate love. Dr. Peterson serves as an advisor to Persona, the university ' s literary magazine and is a noted lecturer and has had various poems and stories published. Ill dr. dona reeves The ultimate goal of the language teacher, explains Dr. Dona Reeves, professor of Modern Languages, is to remove himself from an essential classroom role so that the student can communicate independently with his fellows, mutually tolerating mistakes, gradually recognizing and overcoming the disadvantages of monolinguialism and its one- dimensional perspective. Dr. Reeves toured West Germany in 1972, studying the German education system as a guest of the Foreign Office of the Federal Republic of Germany. She has also served on various associations of modern language teachers, currently serving as president of the Texas Foreign Language Association. first black greeks receive welcome to swt from ifc pages I reekdom, does it still exist? pages 322-323 the greek system Phil Tucker (below left) questioned the value of the Greek system. Mimi Wagener (below right) said that more group participation and less cut-throating is needed if the Greek system is to survive. pros and cons system voiced Greekdom, what is it and does it exist on SWT ' s campus? Mooch Matus conducted an interview with several Greek and non-Greek students to get their views on the subject. In a casual rap session, opinions of the Greek system were expressed by Sandy May, Angleton junior; Carl Dedjen, Austin sophomore; Ed Oertli, Austin sophomore; Don Skelton, Baytown junior; Paul Tucker, Austin junior and Mimi Wagener, Nixon junior. Pedagog: Do you know anything about the Greek system here at SWT? Paul: No, that ' s one of my major complaints about the system. I don ' t of the greek in interview know anything about it. We see them walking around with their sweatshirts and see their names plastered everywhere, but we don ' t know how to get in, requirements to get in; we don ' t know anything about them. That ' s my major complaint! Ed: I was about to pledge Lambda Chi Alpha. Pedagog: How do you feel about the Greek system on campus? Ed: Well, I think it ' s a good thing. They have a lot of parties and good bands. Personally, Lambda Chi is a good fraternity and if I joined it would be Lambda Chi. Pedagog: As you were associating with Lambda Chi men did you feel that there was a decline in sorority and fraternity activities on campus? Ed: Not especially. It ' s going down. More and more people are going independent. They can have parties at their apartments that are pretty good. They don ' t have bands in there, they don ' t spend a lot of money and they have a pretty good time instead of joining a fraternity. Mimi: I definitely feel there ' s a decline in the Greek system. There ' s too much bickering back and forth, especially between sororities. It ' s just cut-throat. The new freshmen come in and hear this, all this makes them uninterested in sororities as a whole. I ' ve noticed this in our sorority; the membership has declined and, as a whole, all the sororities are having a hard time filling their quota. Panhellenic is really trying to bring the greek system Ed Oertli looks on as Carl Deden and Paul Tucker (below) discuss the advantages of the Greek system. sororities closer together. I don ' t know if they ' re doing a good job, but they ' re trying. Pedagog: We all know that there ' s room for improvement and as a member of Alpha Xi Delta, how do you feel your own sorority could or needs to improve? Mimi: I like the ' sorority and I hate to say anything bad about them, but, a lot of us are guilty of cut-throating other sororities, and saying ugly things about them. I think we need to have a lot more group participation. Other than that we ' re an okay group. Pedagog: Apparently, there is a gradual decline in the Greek system. What do you feel is the main reason or reasons? Sandy: There are people that don ' t like sororities. They ' re the ones that cut them down to the people that might like them. There are too many people on campus that look down on them. Carl: I know what she ' s talking about. When I came to this campus the first thing I noticed was how people put down sororities and fraternities, as if they were a bunch of snobs or something. You know, like the term ' sorority bitch. ' Another thing is that they really don ' t tell you what you ' re getting into. You like to know what you ' re doing so you hesitate to join. I think if they outlined what all the fraternities do and show something to the people on the outside, the people might like to join them. Pedagog: One hears so much pro and con about the Greek system. What are the advantages of joining a Greek organization? Mimi: As far as gaining anything, just a lot of good times and friendships. Going out and enjoying each other and participating in campus activities. You all are going to say that I paid for my friends; it ' s not a matter of paying for your friends, it ' s just a whole bunch of girls that you feel extra close to, that you feel you can go to if you have any particular problem, or anything of this sort. Paul: The fraternity seems like an artificial friendship. You have to be in a fraternity to have friends. Really, you don ' t have to. I don ' t know how to describe it, I guess ' artificial friendships ' is the word. Ed: It seems that way, like you have to pay money to have friends. Really, those people are nice, they don ' t care that much. They just like being in a fraternity and having fun. Mimi: All the friends I had, I still have. You don ' t lose any friends, you make a lot of new ones. alpha delta pi adpi ' s strive for service The Delta chapter of Alpha Delta Pi was installed on the SWT campus in 1965, growing from the Philosophian Literary Society and the local Phi Delta Gamma sorority. Founded on April 17, 1893, Alpha Delta Pi ' s strive for the ideals of service, scholarship, high standards and friendship. The chapter feels a social life is essential to a well-rounded individual, but also realize the need for various other activities. Among these activities are the sponsoring of an orphan, corresponding with soldiers in Viet Nam and sending Christmas gifts to retarded children. alpha delta pi Linda Wood 2 Karen Harmon 3 Jo Anne Tinsley 4 Sally Moeller 5 Suzanne Howell 6 Debbie Teague 7 Pgm Love 8 Nan Brown 9 Donna Cornelius 10 Sherry Storrs 11 Madeiene Zimmerhanzel 12 Don Hennig 13 Jan Swope 14 Jeffery Lamson 15 Pam Jackson 16 Peggy Thorne 17 Elizabeth Rogers 18 Cindy King 19 Cindy King 20 Patti Stegall 21 Kathy Poehl 22 Roxie Townsend 23 Debbie Kemp 24 Debbie Horstmann 25 Judy Seibert 26 Teri Coats 27 Dianne Stallman 28 Cindy Jackson 29 Melissa Anderson 30 Marsha Stallman 31 Lydia Radford 32 Debbie Cuda 33 Jeanene Wheeler 34 Gwyn Lambnght 35 Susan Packer 36 Judy Harris 37 Cindi Johnson 38 Yvonne Bless 39 Sharon Sasser 40 Rhonda Cuda 41 Margie McLemore 42 Pat U pshaw 43 Susan Price 44 Debbie Shaw 45 Sandy Taylor 46 Evy Thurman 47 Jill Kemp alpha xi delta 1 .

It has been a leader in the Greek-lettered fraternity system throughout the United States. Zeta Delta Chapter at SWT was founded as Sigma Chi Epsilon in the fall of 1967, received its colony status from Delta Tau Delta in February of 1969 and finally chapter status in April of 1970. The fraternity was founded by a group of men who saw the need for an additional fraternity, due to the rapid growth in enrollment. It was founded under the ideals of promoting brotherhood, encouraging scholarship and developing character by working together. This year the Delts sponsored the second annual all college party at the Wurst Hall in New Braunfels.

This wall of beer cans, all empty, is in the Phi Kappa Psi house. a pad represents maturity if iffil 3Jl4Mt i3 fell ti ilp} Living off campus has an implied stafus. It means thaf you have come of age, wifh the removal of college housing restrictions. The college administration believes that an individual, as a junior or senior, is mature enough to take over his own guardianship. It also means that for the first time, a young adult is finally allowed to express his own life-style ... to pick and choose his own scenario. The concept that student life exists only on the nuclear campus is simply not true. They live off campus, they study off campus, and some even claim improved scholarship as a direct result. You can find a student living in a trailer behind a storage warehouse. You can find a student, living at the end of a long dark hallway, in a ra ncid old boarding house, in a solitary room. You can find a student out by a spanking new complex pool, with a beer and a buddy. Everyone in their place.

It seems just yesterday I was settling down to a job that ultimately would become the high point of my life. But now I find myself saying goodbye. Trying to convey the excitement of an event, the drama of competition or the individuality of 1 1 ,812 people has not been an easy job. But it has been a challenge for which I will be eternally grateful. Many crises have been overcome. The decision to drop class pictures was not met with excessive wrath. The decline in yearbook sales was finally curtailed this year. And one hundred additional pages were added to this book — and still all deadlines were met, which I feel is a credit to the staff.
