THE RANGER
iWBB?’
These new offerings will give even
greater depth and diversity to an al-
ready nationally respected junior col-
lege curriculum. Among the additions
which are likely to draw a wide-variety
of students are the two three-hour
ecology courses.
Published weekly as a laboratory
project of the journalism classes of
San Antonio College, 1300 San Pedro
Avenue, San Antonio, Texas 78284.
Letters to the editor for The
Ranger will be accepted until
Monday at 5 p.m. prior to publica-
tion on Fridays.
The full name of the person
submitting the letter will be used
unless he or she specifies the use
of initials only. Unsigned or an-
onymous letters will not be pub-
lished.
Although the purpose of The
Ranger is to cover the comment
on campus related activities and
issues, letters concerning city,
state or national issues will be
published in accordance with the
amount of space available.

Youth scores victory
after
Fifty - one new courses - including
ecology classes-are additions to the
curriculum. Only one segment of the
college was foremost in mind when
the decision for these additions was
made. That group was the student
body.

Unlike her cohorts, according to
Charles Davis, County tax assessor-

has never closed her doors on those
eligible 18-20 year olds wishing to

After a two-year lapse, The Ranger
is revising “Mail SAC”.
The weekly column- will feature
questions from students and faculty
about college happenings. Similar to
“Hot Line” an.d "fActi,iopz,Line’’,s both
regular columns ip ,<jthe local daily ,
newspapers, “Mail SAC” will'hope-
fully serve as a communications de-
vice among the college community.
Questions to be answered should
be deposited in the boxes attached
to the campus newstands. All ques-
tions should be signed, but initials
will be used if the writer prefers.
The summer of 1971 is likely
to go down in press law as an
important chapter in freedom of
the press.
Issues both on the state and na-
tional levels have prompted at-
tention from all age groups. Two
national newspapers The New
York Times and Washington Post,
were forced to stop printing parts
of the “top secret” 7,000 page,
47-volume “History of the U.S.
Decision Making Process on
Vietnam policy.
The New York Times obtained
the “secret” papers from Daniel
Ellsberg, government employee.
When the restraining orders Were
placed on the Times, that news-
paper ceased publishing the
series of articles based on the
document.
Never before in the 182-year
history of the United States, had
a president possessed the poli-
tical audacity to ask the courts
to silence a newspaper. Presi-
dent Nixon personally approved
the two law suits.
When Chief Justice Warren E.
Burger handed down the 6-3 Su-
preme Court ruling in favor of the
newspapers, perhaps the media
enjoyed one its great moments
in press freedom.
Staff members of both publica-
tions were delighted with the
court ruling. “Complete joy and
delight” is how Arthur Ochs
Sulzburger, publisher of the
Times, decribed his reactions.
Mrs. Katharine Graham, pub-
lisher of the Post, said, “We are
terribly gratified by the result.”
Both of the eastern “liberal”
papers have contributed greaty
Ejl I
to the development of the country.
The administration- Vice Presi-
dent Spiro Agnew in particular-
has been critical of both papers
for their reporting of White House
events.
The courage and victory of the
Times and Post helped guaran-
tee to smaller news media the
continued right to print without
prior censorhsip.
Closer to San Antonio, is the
fight between the University of
Texas board of regents and the
UT student newspaper, The Daily
Texan.
I The 50-year charter of the stu-
dent newspaper expired in July
and regents and Texas Student
Publications, Inc., publisher of
The Texan, could not agree on a
new charter.
Martin Dies, secretary of
state, ruled in favor of a exten-
sion of the old charter but re-
gents would not accept so the
case in now in the courts.
Regents have taken away the
“blanket” tax from the news-
paper, but because of its assets
The Texan is still publishing.
The Texan has been critical
of the regents and other admini-
strators. The student newspaper
probably did make some mis-
takes, but what publication is
totally free of error?
The UT student newspaper pos-
sesses many fine qualities and
some of its editors have gone on
to hold important positions in the
professional journalism world.
Whether The Texan remains as
a leader among the student press
in this country rests with the
courts.
Texas youth has won another vic-
tory in their quest for governmental
voice.
A special ruling concerning teen
voters was passed Aug. 9. County
tax assessor-collectors must re-
gister eligible 18-20 year olds
throughout the present voting year,
which ends March 1.
This enables the young people to
vote in all elections. Before, only
those 18 year olds whose birthdays
The courses of study emphasize
the interrelationships of man and
his environment and their inter-
dependence. With this description,
the classes seem likely to prompt
a great amount of thought and dis-
cussion.
According to a recent poll con-
ducted by Playboy, college students
have ranked ecology as the number
one problem facing the nation. If
Playboy’s poll is true here, these
two new courses are likely to be
among the most popular with the in-
coming student body.
Your questions may center around
anything that is campus oriented. If
the “whys? behind many decisions
are known, greater understanding is
achieved and through this understand-
ing the communication‘,gap becomes
itu narrower;
Should you prefer, you may bring
your questions to The Ranger office,
room 202 of the Loftin Student Cen-
ter.
Hopefully, this campus-service
column will be a means of keeping
the communications lines open among
the different campus publics.
