Topping last year’s total by

includes 6,300 day students and
5,700 night students. The Day

of 270 students while the Eve-
ning Division increased by 69.
According to Mr. Dennis, of the
12,000 students, 60 per cent are
men and 40 per cent women.

Schedule conflicts often neces-
sitate a change in courses. If a
student wishes to change from
one class to another, he must
first receive permission from his
present instructor, who will fill
out a card permitting the student
to drop. Then the sudent must
see the teacher whose class he
wishes to enter to determine
whether that class has an open-
ing. Afterward, the student must
take the change card to the Reg-
istrar’s Office for final clear-
ance.
For a student to drop a course
completely, he must again obtain
permission of the instructor, then
file the drop in the Registrar’s
Office. Failure to attend classes
is not sufficient in dropping a
course, for without notification,
a teacher will assume that the
student is still enrolled in his
class. Therefore, the student will
receive an “F” for failure to at-
tend classes and failure to take
the final exam.
After two decades of being an
eight-page bi-weekly, The Ranger
newspaper changed its format to
a four-page weekly last April.
Through this change, this year’s
editor-in-chief Belinda Sue Gil-
zow and managing editor Diana
Gonzales hope to provide the
student with better and more
timely coverage of college news
events. By frequent reporting,
the staff also hopes to generate
greater interest in campus life
among students.
A complete revisal of-the for- college publicity; <
To meet the demands of the ex-
panded student body are 72 new
faculty members, which bring the
total to 318; four new counselors;
the Library-Classroom Building
which increases the classroom
facilities to 131; four new tech-
nical courses which include law
enforcement, fire science, con-
struction technology, and archi-
tectural technology; and three
individual courses which are His-
tory 300, a study of American
institutions, and Spanish 300 and
301, beginning and advanced con-
versational Spanish.

——Welcome---
Challenge Set
By Dr. Moody
Bienvenidos a todos! Anoth-
er school year is begin-
ning. To those of you who
were on campus last year, we
trust that you are returning
with the determination to
profit by your mistakes of
commission and omission of
the past. To those of you who
are coming to college for the
first time, we wish the best
for you.
The opportunity to attend
college is a privilege and not
a right. Along with this priv-
ilege and opportunity you have
a corresponding responsibility
—a responsibility to make the
most of your sojourn in col-
lege. To do otherwise is fail-
ure. Remember that your par-
ents and the taxpayers of the
State of Texas—are paying a
price to provide you this op-
portunity. They realize that it
is essential that you have a
college education and that it
is necessary to do so in order
to perpetuate our way of life.
The future of this nation de-
pends upon an educated citi-
zenry who have the proper
appreciation for and attitude
towards those things that are
’ fundamental to it.
The administration and fa-
culty urge you to ponder seri-
ously on these matters and
strive to make this year at
San Antonio College a suc-
cessful one. We are here to be
of service to you and help
you.

LET’S TRY THIS — Anthony Lobello, student council
vice-president, Mary Davis, chaplain; Shirley Prendergast,
secretary; Mark Schott, parliamentarian-historian, and
Edmond La France, president, discuss forthcoming ac-
tivities.
Ten SC Positions Open to Freshmen
Last year, Student Council
candidates broke the tradition of
the two-party ticket and cam-
paigned independently for the
five officer positions on the basis
that without tickets, candidates
would be elected on the basis of
their individual personality, ac-
complishments and platforms.
Leading the Student Council is
President Edmond La France.
Anthony Lobello holds the office
of vice-president, with Shirley
Prendergast as secretary, Mark
Schott as parliamentarian-histo-
rian and Mary Davis as chaplain.
Sophomore Council representa-
tives for this year are Delores
Acevedo, Lynda Bradford, Peg-
gy Butler, Susan Hanley, Ama-
bel Hart and Amalea Hart. Also
elected were Yolanda Limon, Gil-
bert Median, Linda Pearson and
Katherine Valdez.
Freshmen wishing to take
more active part in school af-
fairs are eligible to fill one of
Student Council posts
available to them this fall.
To be a Council representative,
one must be a freshman taking
at least 12 hours and maintain-
ing a “C” average. If no schol-
astic record is obtainable from
the college, then the student’s
high school record will be used
to determine eligibility. It will
be necessary for prospective
candidates to schedule a free
period for Wednesday at 1 p.m.,
since Council members are re-
quired to attend meetings at this
time.
All candidates who qualify will
be placed on the ballot and the
ten students polling the most
votes will undertake the repre-
sentative posts.
The SC representative must be
willing to assume many respon-
sibilities and to participate in
various committees and school
functions. According to Mr.
Henry Webb, Director of Stu-
dent Activities, “The Council
works to represent the students
to the administration and to make
the administration aware of the
students’ problems. Therefore it
is the representative’s duty to
keep informed about council and
school activities.”
Those students who are inter-
ested in better serving their
school should notify Council Pres-
ident Edmond LaFrance or see
Mr. Webb in the Loftin Student
Center.
All clubs and social organiza-
tions on campus are requested to
send representatives to the Coun-
cil. These members will keep the
club informed of Council action
and vice versa. It is also expected
that their attendance be regular
on penalty of expulsion. If a club
representative is dropped from
the Council, then this club will
lose its representation for one
semester.
