Sansone Praises
‘Eating* Manners
Of SAC Students
Beta Sigma Alpha, business girls’
sorority, held its get-acquainted
party at the home of Mrs. Nita
O’Brien Tuesday evening, October.
20. This was a traditionally in-
formal party with more than 30
girls attending, wearing slim jims
and other comfortable clothes
which made it easier to sit on the
floor.
Plans for the year include spon-
sorship of a Business Machines
Show in the spring along with the
meeting of the District Business
Education Teachers’ Association.
J. Milliard Tawes, governor of
Maryland, paid a visit to SAC
last week during his stay in the
city while attending the Southern
Governor’s, convention. Governor
Tawes is an old acquaintance of
Dr. Ava McAmis, chemistry pro-
fessor. Dr. McAmis knew Gov.
Tawes’ sister and visited in the
Tawes home while attending col-
lege.
During the course of their visit,
the Maryland official was conduct-
ed around the college and met
some of the administrators.
Governor Tawes is very inter-
ested in education. At the recent
Convention he stated, “One of the
toughest tasks has been to con-
vince the taxpayer that the new
programs and services which they
demand of their government will
cost them money.” The governor’s
home state, Maryland, has em-
barked on a program for state aid
for local governments to improve
public education systems.

Encrlisb Club Meets
On the executive board of the
English Teachers Club of San An-
tonio are Mrs. Mary Becker, first
vice-president and Miss Bessie
Pearce, immediate past president.
The organization will hold its
first meeting of the 1964-65 school
year on Monday, November 2, in
the Shangri-La Ballroom. Dr. Paul
Baker, head of the Trinity Drama
Department will speak on “The
Changing American Theater.”
The special pests for the evening
were Mr. I Tappakeg, president
of Alcoholics Anonymous, Bubbles
La Rue, the world famous human-
itarian, and Count Dracula. During
the course of the show, there were
commercials for the woman-at-
tracting hair-lotion, Greencreem,
and also for the living bra, which
bit one of the pledges.
Judges of the fraternity skits
were the six sorority presidents,
while the four fraternity heads
voted on the sorority acts.
Both clubs received silver tro-
phies with mahogany bases for
their prizes.
Cactus plans surround the office
of Dr. Ava McAmis, head of the
Chemistry Department.
Dr. McAmis started her cactus
collection in 1955 when Mr. Leo-
poldo Lopez, a janitor at the school
brought her a small cactus plant.
Since then her collection has grown
to six or seven large cactus plants.
“It never would have started
without Mr. Lopez’s first plant. He
helps take care of them and they
really are his plants,” Dr. McAmis
declared.
“I didn’t know if the plant
would live when I gave it to the
doctor, but the next time I saw the
plant it had grown a lot,” stated
Mr. Lopez.

Dr. Leon Tolle, a former San
Antonio College student, presented
a series of floral arrangements at
the Garden Center at Witte Me-

them.
Seventy-five entries were pres-
ent. The contestants were judged
on the basis of poise, charm,
beauty, and stage presentation
which included the gracefulness of
the court bow. On the decision of
these qualifications, Patricia,
draped in a snow white floor-
length formal, was crowned Queen
by Miss Texas. In addition, she
. . also entered, a talent section
which was an optional part of the
Pageant. For this, she gave, a dra-
matic interpretation of Thornton
Wilder’s Our Town.
Ordering bacon, raw shrimp,
hams, and french fries at 7:15 a. m.
is just part of a job for Mr. Sal-
vator Sansone, new SAC cafeteria
manager.
Saga Food Service employed Mr.
Sansone to replace Mr. Gerald
Vincent who accepted a similar
position in New Mexico.
Originally from Syracuse, New
York, the new cafeteria manager
spent the summer in South Caro-
lina as a food manager of Win-
throp College for Women: “I like
SAC,” he says. “The students Say
‘please’ and “thank you’.”
Among the improvements Mr.
Sansone is planning is a price list
for sororities and fraternities en-
abling them to purchase party re-
freshments through Saga Food
Service.
New sandwich machines located
in the Chemistry and Geology and
Administration Buildings will be
supplied with a variety of custards
and fruits.
The cafeteria is open from 7
a.m. to 9 p.m. Mr. Sansone wel-
comes comments from students.

conferences sponsored by the Tex-
as Manufacturers Association, was
presented at San Antonio College,
October 14, in the small audito-
