Brotherhood is not confined to
school, city, state, or nation. In
order to learn a little more about
our foreign neighbors, The Ranger
interviewed a sampling of foreign
students attending SAC. Here are
their stories.
that’s westernized is good, or that
everything that’s domestic is bad.
I said this only to be frank that
what is good is good, what is bad
is bad.
Long live the friendship of our
two nations.

When I say this, I have a feel-
ing that these are the things —
Universities, modern libraries, lab-
oratories, modern parks, zoos, mu-
seums, factories, supermarkets, su-
perhighways, the spirits of pio-
neers, the agressive ambitions of
self-improvement, the industrious
characteristics . . . etc—that we
Chinese people, my fellow country-
men, need urgently to learn, to
copy, to imitate.
It is not the social dance, the
twist, the gesture of Elvis Presley,
of Bob Hope, the whistling to a
girl, the kisses in the public, the
blue jeans, the beatniks ... all
these are artificial things that we

In a matter of years history will relate that John F.
Kennedy was the first Catholic President in the United
States. But it was his predecessor, Alfred E. Smith—the
first Catholic to run for the Presidential office—who was
responsible for the establishment of the National confer-
ence of Christians and Jews.

Chinese need not learn. I don’t
mean they are the bad things at
all. but compared to the aforesaid,
things, they are the much, muck
more trivial things that we neecE
not learn them in this critical:
time now.

He attended St, Mary’s Univer-
sity for one semester, but trans-
ferred to SAC in order to better
enhance his chances of attending
the University of Texas at a later
date. As an architectural engi-
neering major, Vural has present-
ly earned more than 60 hours
toward this degree.
When questioned about the re-
lationship of students in Turkey
as compared to those in America,
Vural said that American students
are more gregarious — the two
sexes mix more freely. He stated
that in Turkey 90 percent of the
families still choose, their chil-
dren’s husband or wife and that
boys mix with boys and girls only
with girls until they have been
properly matched by their parents.
Because of'this custom, Vural said
that girls here are much more
friendly than they are in Turkey.
. Vural commented that Tie choose
San Antonio in which to study
“Because my cousin is here, and
I like San Antonio better than any
other Texas city.”
After touring the SAC campus
recently, a group of foreign stu-
dents from Lackland Air Force
Base Language School were- re-
quested by their instructor to
write a composition giving their
impressions of the school. The fol-
lowing is one of these themes,
written by Chinese Major Li Hu-
Ko.

The friendship between these
two countries is traditionally good.
It is my job, someday, to make it
better, For if there is any misun-
derstanding between our two great
nations, it would be a great trage-
dy to the whole world. Yes, we
have a much oldei- history than;
our American younger brother,,
but we have a much much younger
modern science compared to our
American counterpart. It is we,
not Americans, that are younger
brothers in this.

Published bi-weekly as a laboratory project of the journalism stu-
dents of San Antonio College, 1300 San Pedro Avenue, San Antonio 12,
Texas.

In 1928, when Smith decided to enter the race for
president, a vicious storm of anti-Catholicism was sweep-
ing the country. Because of his religious convictions,
Smith’s campaign was futile, and it was for this reason
that a need was recognized for an organization that would
stamp out hate, bigotry and ignorance to retrieve for
Americans, the opportunity to grow through Brotherhood.
A group of eminent leaders including Charles Evans
Hughes, Newton D. Baker, S. Parkes Cadman, Roger W.
Strauss and Charlton J. H. Hayes, decided that there was
an urgent need for an organization to combat not only
anti-Catholicism, but any form of bigotry that tried to
turn one group of Americans against the other. They
formed their organization to promote justice, amity, un-
derstanding, and cooperation among Christians and Jews.
It was these ideals that have promoted the N. C. C. J.
into a national organization. Today, it exists, greater and
with more recognition, still upholding the principles which
led to its beginning.
Brotherhood Week will be observed this year from
February 18-25.
Men who are working with the N. C. C. J. in San
’Antonio are: Dr. Sean Burke, general chairman of the
group and professor at Incarnate Word College, who
represents the Catholic faith; Fred Knight and Stanley
Rosenberg work as co-chairmen. The men will speak at
high schools, colleges, and community organizations.

The TV set is my Shepherd. My academic growth shall want.
It maketh me to sit down and do nothing for my studies sake, be-
cause it requireth all my spare time. It keepeth me from doing my duty
as a Student, because it presenteth so many good shows that I must
see.
It restoreth my knowledge of the things of the world, and keepeth
me from the study of the Teachers’ Word. It leadeth me in the paths
of failing my studies and doing nothing in the Kingdom of Knowledge.
Yea, though I live to be a hundred, I shall keep on viewing my
TV as long as it will work, for it is my closest companion. Its sound
and its pictures, they comfort me.
It presenteth entertainment before me and keepeth me from do-
ing important things for my school. It fills my head with ideas which
differ from those set forth in the word of the teacher.
Surely, no good thing will come of my life, because my TV suf-
fered me no good time to do the will of the teacher; thus I will dwell
in the place of the failures forever.

Straight from colorful Mexico,
“Texas’ Good Neighbor to the
South,” comes Irene Gaitan a
freshman at San Antonio College.
The tall, 19-year-old, brunette
is majoring in Business Adminis-
tration. She has been in the United
States for three years. She was
graduated from Blessed Sacrament
Hi^h School in San Antonio. Prior
to her graduation, she attended
Colegio la Paz in Torreon, Coa-
huila.
Irene is the oldest of eleven
children in her family .She . was
Iras Nasserian is another of sev-
eral foreign students enrolled in
SAC’s day school. Iras is a Persian
visitor to Texas, and in case you’re
wondering how far from home he
is, it would take four days of fly-
ing for Iras to return home to see
his parents, six brothers, and one
sister.
Actually this is his second visit
to the United States, for in 1959
he was stationed at bases in the
states of Florida, Alabama, and
F 1
sian Air Force.
Because it is extremely difficult
to gain admittance to the Univer-
sity of Persia, Iras decided to re-
turn to the States for his college
education. He chose San Antonio
because he has many friends in
this city.
While he helps to constitute a
minority of SAC foreign students,
he also holds membership in a
majority, for he is a SAC fresh-
man working toward a degree in
petroleum engineering. At this
time Iras is undecided as to what
school he will attend after leaving
SAC, but there is no rush to his
decision because he states that he
likes SAC very much and plans to
stay for the full two-year program
of junior college courses.
Recently, we toured San Anto-
nio College. It was
trip. We had a very good time in-
deed. The buildings and the
equipment of SAC are very mod-
ern; especially the Planetarium is
most up-to-date. There are uni-
versities in China, but none of
them, at least those I have seen,
are as modern as SAC. I say this
without any kind of unpatriotism
to my country, or any sort of an
inferiority idea that everything

Texas while serving in the Per- I born in San Juan de Guadalupe,
Durango. Irene and three of het-
brothers and sisters live with arc
aunt, Mrs. Amanda G. Pena, who
resides at 209 N. Smith St. in Sail
Antonio. Her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Alejandro Gaitan, and the
rest of the family live in Durango,
Mexico.
The bilingual student is taking
secretarial courses at SAC this
semester. She said that she is tak-
ing these courses to aid her fa-
ther in his business. Mr. Gaitarc
is in the gold and silver mining
business in Mexico, and he is iffi
constant need of an English-speak-
ing secretary to help him with
negotiations.
Irene does a lot of horseback
riding at her family’s ranch, “Sari
Bartolo,” in Mexico. She is an ex-
tensive reader and also enjoys
cooking and knitting.
When asked how she liked the
people in San Antonio and stu-
dents at SAC, she said, “Muy
buenas gentes,” (which means,
very good people). She said that
the students at SAC “do not laugh
at my poor English pronunciation;
and,” she added, “the teachers al-
ways help me when I do not un-
derstand words in English.”
, In June, Irene plans to visit her
family in Durango and then re-
turn in September to resume her
education at San Antonio College,
