Recently there has been much contro-
versy over the question of whether or not
we need stricter laws to control the pub-
lication and sale of obscene literature.
Many say that such kind of literature
should be banned because it is having a
bad effect on the minds of the American
people, especially on the younger genera-
tion.
Others insist that such laws would be
un-Constitutional and against the right
of freedom of the press.
Several SAC students were interview-
ed and asked their opinions on this mat-
ter. The question asked was: Do you
think that there should be more laws to
control obscene literature?
ANNETTE PERRY: Yes, there should
be more laws against obscene literature.
Children are apt to imitate and idolize
the wrong kind of people. There are sever-
al other enjoyments that can occupy a
child’s time rather than the rubbish that

An outstanding Christian
leader of this generation, Dr.
Jones, who has been an evange-
list in India since 1907, holds a
B.A. and an M.A. from Asbury
College, Wilmore Kentucky; a
D.D. from Duke University, and
from Keuka College; and S.T.D.
from Syracuse University. In
1928, Dr. Jones was elected a
Bishop of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, but refused the office
in order to continue his work
as missionary. He has written
numerous books, several of which
have passed the million mark in
sales. His first book, “The Christ
of the Indian Road”, has been
translated into twelve foreign
languages. His latest books are
“The Way to Power and Poise”,
and “How To Be A Transformed
Person” and he is now pioneering
for a United Church of America.
The assembly Monday was
opened with the invocation by
George- Finch, after which the
audience joined in singing “Holy,
Holy, Holy. After a prayer by
Gay Dodson, the “Lord’s Prayer”
was sung by the choir.
Prominent Evangelist
Talks to SAC Students
“I believe you will accept this
challenge.” These were the clos-
ing words of an inspiring talk
made to approximately 250 stu-
dents Monday, November 28, by
Dr. E. Stanley Jones, outstanding
evangelist.
Onfty the ^Ualiant
Why go to class? It is so much more
fun going to the cafeteria every period to
drink coffee and gossip, or go to the game
room for a quick game of pool or ping
pong. After all, isn’t this a free country
where one may do what one pleases ? And
besides, as one student was heard to re-
mark the other day, “Those classes are
so boring, and besides I can get all the
material out of the book, if I’d ever read
it.”
A decided air of moodishness and res-
ignation has been noticed around SAC
lately, and it is our belief that the above
manner of thinking is the root of the
whole business.
No one ever feels good when he is fail-
ing a course, and when we go to the cafe-
teria all the time, repeatedly missing
class, we are bound to fall far behind and
start failing. Naturally classes get more
and more boring, and so we go more and
more to the cafeteria, and pretty soon,
somebody starts saying “I think I’ll quit
school, it isn’t the least bit interesting
any more.”
This starts the ball rolling, and soon
many others take to the same idea, and
the air of gloom seems to envelope us all.
Quitting school at this point because
of bad grades’is just plain bad judgment.
If everybody, no matter how far behind
they are, would attend class regularly, .
no matter how boring, listen to the in-
structor and take notes, do their home
work, and take a positive instead of a
negative attitude toward school, a very
minute percentage of “F’s” would remain
on the record.
So why waste the money spent for reg-
istration and books, when trying is such
a little thing, compared to the habit of
quitting which is so hard to break.

Dean Moody Returns
From Florida Meet
Dr. Wayland Moody, Dean of
San Antonio College, will return
early in the week from Miami
Beach, Florida, where he at-
tended the annual meeting of
the Southern Association of Col-
leges and Secondary Schools.
The Southern Association is
the accrediting agency for eleven
Southern States for colleges,
universities, and high schools.
San Antonio College was first
recognized by the Southern As-
sociation in December, 1952.
Although most students had
no trouble in transferring credits
to colleges and universities, this
was further facilitated by mem-
bership in the association.
Dr. Moody attended the Con-
ference of Academic Deans, and
the Executive Committee of the
Association of Junior Colleges in
addition to several other meet-
ings.
Dr. and Mrs. Moody drove to
Miami.
The staff of the Ranger
would like to take this oppor-
tunity to express its deep felt
sympathy to Mr. S. W. Bass,
mathamaties instructor, on
the loss of his mother, Mrs.
M. E. Bass, Sunday, Novem-

SAC Fight Yells
With basketball season upon us, there are going to
be a lot of games to see and a lot of yells to be yelled.
Below are a list of some of the yells that SAC cheer-
leaders, Pansy Gaskill, Carolyn Millar, Nancy Kight,
and Ann Thoman will be leading. Now there will be
no excuse for anyone not shouting along with them.

SYMPHONY PLAY SATURDAY
The San Antonio Symphony
will give a specially presented
stage version of Mozart’s gayest
opera, “Cosi fan tutte” (Women
are Like That) Saturday evening
at 8:30 in the Municipal Audi-
torum. Included in the cast will
be six opera stars brought to
San Antonio for the “opera
buff a.”
it is printed today.
JIM BURKETT: No, if a strict law is
passed on the publication of these books
it would only be the cause of a black
market, because there is adventure in
something forbidden.
SHARON WALLACE: Yes, these
books j ust put wrong ideas into the minds
of young children and are a big waste of
money. They go against everything that
a child has learned in school and even
teach him how to use incorrect English.
If a child likes adventure there are many
acceptable adventure books on the market.
ROBERT MONTALBO: Yes, I think
that there should be more laws against
obscene literature. It warps the minds of
the younger generation. Only clean books
should be published. Personally I prefer
Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse.
JOY ROBERTSON: No, you can’t
shelter someone from reality. Everyone
should have a comparative viewpoint in
order to distinguish between good and
bad.
ROBERT BUTLER: Definitely yes, the
right of freedom of the press extends
only so far. These books are corrupting
the morals of the nation’s youth who are
tomorrow’s leaders, and when a nation’s
morals fall so does the nation.
J. F. KINGS: No, I dpn’t think that
there should be a law forbidding the pub-
lication if this type of literature. If a per-
son is going to do wrong he will do it re-
gardless of whether he reads these books
or not. Let’s face it, crime is here to stay!
EILEEN MALONE: Yes, I think that
there definitely should be more laws con-
trolling the publication of obscene litera-
ture. I believe that obscene literature is
the reason that we have so much juvenile
delinquency these days. Youth follows ex-
amples set in magazines and books.
TONY TITTLE: No, I don’t think that
there should be more laws banning ob-
scene literature because if you really ban
all obscene literature you wouldn’t even
have a front page in our newspapers. It
is not up to other people to say what s
right and what is wrong. It is up to the
individual.
A.C.P. SAYS
The Associated College Press asked the
same question of a representative cross-
section of the nation’s college students.

Directories Coming
Soon to SACites
The long awaited student di-
rectories should be out by th^
second week in December, reports
Loren Caraway, who is in charge
of their make-up.
8he reason for their hold
up was the fact that the
night school records were tied
up by the office staff while mak-
ing up the final state report.
Also, the directory this year will
contain 92 pages contrasted to
the 72 pages of last year.
Mr. Caraway says he hopes
to keep the price of the direc-
tory at 25 cents, even though
the costs of printing have gone
up, in order that more students
may have a chance to purchase
CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS

Most of the argument has
around comic books and related materials.
But many classics and literature master-
pieces have come in for their share of
criticism. Many local and regional laws
against obscene literature have been
passed, some standing up under judicial
test and others failing. On the whole,
however, the pattern of lawmaking in this'
respect has been inconsistent from place
to place.
