WILL THE REAL VACUUM PLEASE STAND UP?! When the world was somewhat younger, and I somewhat sillier, the meaning of things seemed worth discovering. A friend watched with amusement my efforts at personal philosophy. Eventually he agreed to help, and his S.E.U. philosophy background (the Fr. Brady school of misconceptions) afforded him ready answers. He could have parroted that old standby: ““‘being’ is an analogous concept, realized in actuality and potentiality.” But he preferred the simpler truths... non-being is not real; reality is a drag. Perhaps this seems a bit obvious; so be it, I shall make no apologies for the truth as I see it. My friend was also a poet... School is for the fool, who wants to learn a rule; but doesn’t want to use it as a tool to make his life cool. Such cynicism is necessary to prepare the reader for what my friend believed was the meaning of things ... YOU MUST CALMLY FACE THE CRAP AND WASTE AND MADDENING MEDIOCRITY OF LIFE AND SEARCH FOR THE GOOD THAT IS OBSCURED. NOT EVERYONE IS A VACUUM, NOT EVERYONE IS A FOOL. IN FACT MY FRIEND THOUGHT THE NUMBER OF SUCH PEOPLE WAS VERY SMALL, THE TRICK IS TO BE ABLE TO SPOT THEM IN THE CROWD. WOULDN’T IT BE WONDERFUL IF WE COULD GET THEM TO STAND UP AND FREELY ACKNOWL- EDGE THEMSELVES. Pressing onward, I would like to apologize to the women athletes of S.E.U. for not covering all their activities in this edition of TOWER. I was solely responsible for the layout of all sports. Yet new women’s teams kept springing up with every layout revision. Time grew short and I conceded defeat. So to women’s varsity basketball, women’s tennis and whatever else, I acknowledge your efforts and faithfully promise adequate coverage next year. To those who see in this annual reason for complaint, I would 204 like to offer a standing invitation to come and help. If anyone disliked the heavy reliance on photographs of lovely young ladies, they must understand that this is the bulk of what the photog- raphers provided ...and I loved it!!! Perhaps things would have been different if all three girl staff members hadn’t quit . . . women’s liberation 1975. THE HILLTOPPER, TOWER’s sister in sin, has been revitalized this year under the direction of editor Pete Thaddeus. There is the promise of a weekly paper next year, an ambitious project that Pete is certainly capable of handling. Special mention is made of those who made Pete a success... Minerva Anaya and Vilma Fuentes. Honorable mention goes to Fr. Thomas Windberg for maintaining a vigorous though loyal opposition. In case you haven’t heard, the “in” thing around campus is to live in dormitories again. DO YOU HEAR THAT EVERYBODY, COME ON BACK. THEY PROMISE 1 to keep rectors out of the rooms 2 to clean the bathrooms 3 to sweep the halls 4 to keep down the noise 5 to cut down on those “really relevant” dorm meetings AND THE FOOD IS GOING TO BE GOOD AND EVERYTHING. OF COURSE, once you sign that housing contract there is no way out. That contract used to have an escape clause, until “yours truly” tried to escape. They agreed to honor the clause only after we arranged to have a lawyer look into the matter. So I am free, and there is no more escape clause. BUT WHAT THE HELL, WE’RE JUST ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY AND WE TRUST EACH OTHER AND ANYWAY THEY’RE GOING TO CLEAN THE BATHROOMS THISSTIM Ese For what it’s worth St. Ed’s., even though I hate your guts, Pll always love your body. Jonathan A. Bailey

“Tennis can be fun,” says girls’ tennis team members Nora Sheridan, Paula Valis, Paulette Valis, Coach Daniel and others. Youth is the most precious gift that was given to man. It is a training period for the future leaders of our town, state and country. Through various opportunities students at St. Edwards are encouraged to find their most outstanding qualities and to develop them. All students are inspired to put forth work and effort to create a good image through higher positions of leadership. The students become a reflection of an image that creates in those who follow a desire for a profit- able and good life. DRAMATIC DISAPPOINT MENT Watching listening touching we are learning about our world. “Let us not look forward in fear, nor back in anger, but around in AWARENESS.” James Thurber 205
