Fred Bender, philosophy professor, has earned a
Ph.D. from University of Texas at Austin.
Bender said he did not set out to get a doctorate but
describes it as a “nice thing to have.”
“I think there is some ego involvement in wanting a
Ph.D. I didn’t plan it at first. I was just taking courses
“The courses themselves were not that difficult, but I
am holding a full-time job. My wife and I had to move
to College Station for two summers so I could do my
internship at A&M,” Crozier said.
The professor said he did not attend his graduation
ceremony when he graduated from A&M in 1948, but he
has decided to attend the graduation ceremony to
receive his doctorate May 4.

Awareness week scheduled
The fourth annual Deaf Awareness Week Monday through
May 8 will be observed in San Antonio to help the public
understand the problems of the deaf, a counselor here said.
Jacque Lloyd, counselor here and coordinator for the 40 deaf
students here, said many people do not realize some people
cannot hear on the telephone or understand bulletins on
television.
“It’s simply that many persons have never thought about the
special needs of this group of the handicapped,” Lloyd said.
She said Deaf Awareness Week is to make people aware of
these needs.
Lloyd said Xavier Montalbo, a deaf student here, presented
the college at planning meetings for the community project.
Activities preceding the week include entering a float by the
San Antonio Regional Day School Program for the Deaf in the
Battle of Flowers Parade Friday.
A Festival for the Deaf from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at
McAllister Park, 13103 Jones-Maltsberger Road, will include a
chili cook-off and games and an arts and crafts show.
Lloyd said admission is free, and the public is invited.
“This would be a good opportunity for students who have
taken sign language courses here to socialize with the deaf.
It’s not a closed party,” she said.
Other activities for Deaf Awareness Week will be the Miss
Deaf San Antonio pageant and deaf awareness social from 7 -
11 p.m. on May 5 at Trinity University’s Rathskeller Center.
A senior Citizen’s Healtharama will be from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
May 8 in the Exhibit Hall No. 2 of the Henry B. Gonzalez
Convention Center.

for information.
“We increased 20 percent last
month.
“The operators I’ve asked say
there’s a definite upward trend in
the number of riders,” Carr said.
Carr does not believe the energy
shortage is as temporary a crisis as
the Vietnam War.
“I think we’ll hold on to most of
the new riders. The service is better
on VIA then on the old San Antonio
Transit Co. The buses are nicer, and
VIA goes places the old transit
company didn’t,” Carr said.
Carr believes the success of VIA
depends on the price of gasoline
though he does not believe the
shortage will affect everyone.
“People used to say if cigarettes
ever got to 50 cents a pack, they
would quit smoking. Well, cigar-
ettes did and no one quit,” Carr
said.
Carr said based on national
transit authority conventions and
calls to other transit authorities, the
use of public transit has increased
nationwide.

A program to enable data
processing students to earn course
credits at Fort Sam Houston
tentatively is scheduled to begin
this fall, a civilian personnel
representative from the base told
about 60 data processing students
here Thursday.
Under the Civil Service Reform
Act of 1978, federal agencies may
accept volunteer service for
educationally-related work assign-
ments, Mary Etlinger of the civilian

ericksburg Road and Loop 410;

and St. Vincent De Paul Church,

Buses arrive and
20-minute intervals.
More people will ride transit
buses this month than rode last
month, though bus officials cannot
predict an exact number.
Eddie Carr, assistant general
manager of VIA, said an increase in
the number of bus riders is
apparent.
“The increase is starting to show<
already.
“When there is a crisis like the
fuel shortage, the number of riders
always increases. During the
Vietnam War, for instance, the
number of riders went up,” Carr
said. Carr can monitor rider

the bus, so I get a ride with a
neighbor or I hitch a ride. I prefer a
car to a bus.”
Josephine Pucciariello, sopho-
morechild development major, was
the only student totally positive
about the bus.
“My car isn’t running, but I’ll keep
riding the bus after my car is fixed.
The bus takes me to work.”
Sophomore Jerraine Callahan
said, “I don’t mind taking the bus.
My three children and my husband
ride it. I can’t take it to work though
because it would make me late.”
Even with the obvious disadvan-
tages of waiting in inclement
weather and adjusting one’s
schedule to coincide with VIA’s,
riding the bus is one way to cope
with higher gasoline prices.

Agriculture professor to receive Ed. D.
A professor here will receive his doctorate in
education in graduation ceremonies at Texas A&M
University May 4.
Walton Crozier, agriculture professor, will receive an
Ed.D. in vocational education. He said he did not
originally intend to work for his doctorate.
“I was taking some additional courses to improve my
ability as a teacher, and before I knew it I had about
half enough courses required for a doctorate. So I
continued to study,” he said.
The 1948 graduate of A&M has taught here for six
years. He said he wanted a doctorate in agriculture, but
it was not offered at A&M. Instead, he earned an Ed.D.
in vocational education with some agriculture courses
to strengthen his teaching career.
Crozier said, “Vocational education and agriculture
are so close they often overlap. In fact, in high school
agriculture is vocational education.”
The professor said his Ed.D. was a challenge but
was more than just personal accomplishment.
“The preparation for the doctorate has improved my
teaching abilities. It is already helpful. One
overwhelming thing I learned was to counsel students
in their needs and in courses required to reach their
degrees.
“The greatest satisfaction I have is imparting some
bit of knowledge to give students something they did
not know before,” he said.
Crozier said obtaining his Ed.D. was difficult.
Students here who ride VIA
game reasons they ride. Although
the students were saving money,
they also mentioned disadvan-
tages.
Francisco Molina, sophomore
business major, said, “The bus is
convenient, but I’d rather have a
car. I have to get up too early to
catch the bus.”
Delia Perez, sophomore law
enforcement major, said, “It’s the
only way I can get here. I prefer a
car because I have to get up early to
make the bus on time.”
Robert Deimel, sophomore law
enforcement major, said, "I only
take the bus intermittently, instead
of my car, to save gas.”
Van Mabrito, finance major, said,
“I usually don’t make it in time for
uncertainty, the anxiety which
accompanies decision-making.
This precipitated the movement,”
he explained.
Another existential philosopher,
Frederich Wilhelm Nietzche criti-
cized any kind of socialized
movement that denies the unique-
ness of an individual, he
continued.
“An individual can become lost in
the crowd and lose all sense of
identity and self-worth. All existen-
tialists rebel against the stifling
effects of most socialized institu-
tions.”
He cited the way students may
benefit from the course.
“Students could escape
The philosophy department will
offer a course in existential
philosophy this fall.
Dr. Richard Oliver a philosophy
professor who will teach the class,

“It is a protest against the
dehumanization of social institu-
tions. It is a philosophy which
stresses of choice,” he said.
' He added, “Soren Kirkegaard,
considered the father of the
movement, emphasized the signi-
ficance of being human. He looked
inside man and found there are a
variety of lifestyles which an
individual may choose. He began to
raise questions of the nature of

“By accepting volunteers, we
have the means to respond to San
Antonio College’s data processing
practicum program,” Etlinger said.
Etlinger, one of four federal
employees here to discuss entry-
level opportunities in the civil
service, said the Army is expected
to approve the program by fall.

Philosophy professor earns doctorate
and found I almost had enough, so I kept working,” he
said.
The professor said acquiring his doctorate was
difficult but rewarding.
“It was an accomplishment getting over the hurdles
put in your path. Writing the dissertation and having it
accepted were big accomplishments. Taking courses
and studying for tests were not nearly so difficult,” he
said.
Bender said his dissertation was a study of Japanese
junior colleges. He said he spent three weeks in Japan
interviewing junior college administrators.
He said acquiring his doctorate has not really
changed his life.
“Nothing has really changed. Of course, people call
you “doctor” but it’s no different,” he said.
The professor said the satisfaction of the teaching
profession is the students.
“The satisfaction is seeing students develop, learn
and be challenged. If you are a teacher and you don’t
like students, you are in the wrong profession,” Bender
said.
Bender said he would like to eventually become a
junior college administrator.

stifling effects of some social
institutions. There is a need to
realize the nature and value of
choice and how difficult it is to be
free.
“Most people don’t want to be
free because freedom is responsi-
bility. Most people would rather
blame their parents or environment
for their situaion.
“Existentialism emphasizes you
are important. You made the
choice. You have to assume the
responsibility. You can’t give up
your thought to any institution, be
it church, society or the Department
of Health, Education and Welfare.
Great choices of life can be made
only by yourself,” he said.
Transit system offers cheaper transportation
By Mike Sands
(Second of Two Parts)
Can you ride to campus and back
home for 20 cents a day and study
while you travel?
The answer is yes if you ride a
VIA Metropolitan Transit Co. bus
and have a student discount card.
Students may get the card in the
student activities office on the first
floor of Loftin Student Center.
The cards are free but require one
sign his name for transit company
records, Jane Owen, secretary in
the office, said.
“We keep all the bus schedules in
front of the office,” Owen said.
Three bus routes stop by this
campus Monday-Friday. The ear-
liest bus arriving here is Route 4 at
5:40 a.m. The last bus leaving is
also Route 4 at 11:58 p.m.
Part of the transit system is the
five park-and-ride locations in the
city.
This system allows one to park
his car at the bus stop and then wait
for the bus in a covered area.
“On a national scale, public
transit use has increased 12 percent
since last year. That’s a sizable
increase,” Carr said.
Despite increased bus usage,
Carr said the company has no plans
to lengthen routes.
“If there’s a demand, we’ll meet
it.
“We’re considering expanding
bus service on some of our larger
lines.
“If gas prices go up gradually, we
expect a gradual increase in riders.
If it jumps about 15 cents at once,
there will probably be a surge in
riders.
“We’re gearing up for an increase
in riders, and when it comes, we’ll
be ready for it,” Carr said.
Fred Jones, director of purchases
for VIA, said no caution of a fuel
shortage for the buses has arisen.
“We use diesel which has no
production controls on it like other
fuels. Refiners can make as much
as they want.
“We don’t anticipate any prob-
lems,” Jones said.
gramers in Department of Defense
agencies were Etlinger; Carl
Bernal, chief of logistics systems;
Larry Magnusson, personnel staff-
ing specialist; and Maj. Rodney
Edge of U.S. Army Health Services
Command.
“We want people who are trained
in computer science,” Edge said.
Magnusson explained wage
grades and salaries of computer
specialists in civil service.
People in computer operations
are ranked in General Schedule
Grades 2 to 12. Yearly salaries in
these grades range from $7,422 to
$23,087.
Graduates from the Army’s
computer specialist series are
ranked in GS Grades 5 to 15. Yearly
salaries range from $10,507 to
$38,160.
Bernal, a 1970 graduate from
here, said the job market is
competitive. He said as many as 30
apply for a position.
“I think it’s a good deal for you. In
the long run, I don’t believe you can
do a whole lot better in salary and
benefits,” Edge said.
Etlinger told students Profes-
sional and Administrative Career
Examination (PACE) scores are a
factor in selecting employees.
PACE scores are good for one year.
Fall PACE testing will be in
September.
“If you’re seriously interested in
pursuing a career, we’re willing to
work with you,” Etlinger said.
