We were privileged the other night to witness a rehearsal of
the Press club’s Hilltop Capers. This year’s Capers is being
directed by Brother Dunstan, CSC, who is receiving assistance
from Press club president Larry Gries and Frank Zuik. Anyone
who has been connected with a theatrical production knows
that much time and work are embodied in such a production.
By adequately meeting these problems, the Capers’ directors
have created an excellent show. With everyone giving freely
of their talent, a professional atmosphere has begun to surround
the performance. We hope that all Edsmen will take the time
to give their support to this University production. We are sure
you will find the time spent extremely rewarding.

The Amage
There are on the St. Edward’s university campus two groups
who are outstanding examples of Christian charity in action.
These two groups are the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine
and the Knights of Columbus. Under the direction of their
respective presidents (Rene Greenwald and Stephen Gerth),
these clubs have been influential in further expanding the St.
Edward’s image.
The CCD and the K of C, in addition to their normal club
functions, have assumed the duty of aiding the patients of the
Travis State school. Last weekend, for example, a group of
nearly 50 K of C and CCD members put on a Halloween party
for the State school patients. The clubs purchased gifts and
prizes, which they donated to the patients. The club members
organized games, contests and entertainment to bring some
merriment into the ordinarily dull life of a mental patient. In
addition, representatives of these same two clubs have met with
adminstrators of the Travis State school in an effort to find out
what additional things can be done for the patients.
The Hilltopper can find no praise equal to the merits of these
works. These men are projecting the image Catholic universities
were founded to foster. These men are examples of living
Christian Charity; they are examples of what a dedicated
Christian community like St. Edward’s strives to produce. The
Hilltopper wishes to congratulate these organizations and en-
courage other campus organizations to follow their lead.

President Lyndon B. Johnson has swept to a decisive victory
in the presidential campaign. The November 3 presidential
election produced for the president a near 62 percent margin
of victory over Senator Goldwater. The question now is not
whether the nation will bind its wounds and continue as one,
but whether the Republican party and the two-party system
will survive.
As for the Republican party itself, where is it headed?
Senator Goldwater declares that he will maintain control of
the party. But there is bound to be a struggle for the party
leadership. The moderates, in the face of Goldwater’s over-
whelming defeat, will surely try to wrest control of the party
from him. But who will lead this upsurge? Two of the most
likely leaders of such a coup, Senator Kenneth Keating of
New York and gubernatorial hopeful Charles Percy of Illinois,
have been defeated. This, then, seemingly leaves only Gov-
ernor George Romney of Michigan as the moderates’ leader.
Johnson’s landslide carried many Democrats with it into
office, strengthening their control over Congress. The Senate
is now composed of 66 Democrats and 32 Republicans—Repub-
licans comprising less than a third. The situation in the House
is similar: the Democrats now control 281 House seats com-
pared to the Republicans 137—more than two-thirds of the
House. Thus, the Democrats, voting as a block, could cancel
out one of the most effective checks on legislative excesses—
the opposing party.
There is, though, one gleam of hope for the Republicans: the
capture of the South from the clutches of the Democrats. Re-
publicans made large gains in the South by carrying the
states of Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and South
Carolina.

“mandate for unity.” It is now
the nation’s task to unite under
the leadership it has conferred
on President Johnson. It is Lyn-
don Johnson’s task to help achieve
this unity by following the most
positive command of the Ameri-
can people: the President must
remain in the central current of
American thought and not away
from it.

Lady of the Lake women recently
experienced living as a true Chris-
tian family. This trial, a new con-
cept in retreats, took place at St.
Joseph’s retreat house in San An-
tonio.
Those of us who participated
gradually and unconsciously
found ourselves actually becoming
a family in all phases: working,
playing and praying together.
Not observing traditional si-
lence, we started off our family
life by working on communal
tasks such as washing cars and
cleaning windows. Working for
and with our “brothers and sis-
ters,” instilled in us selflessness,
in contrast to selfishness.
At recreation times, we func-

The 1964 presidential campaign
is already an historical fact. It
ended with one of the greatest
victories in American politics.
After a campaign characterized
by the absence of dialogue be-
tween the candidates—due in part
to the polarization of issues by
Goldwater—President Johnson re-
ceived an overwhelming histori-
cal mandate to remain in the cen-
ter of American political philos-
ophy.
The mandate of the 1964 presi-
dential election is not, as Presi-
dent Roosevelt’s inmese 1936 man-
dent Roosevelt’s immense 1936
mandate, only a strong positive
command to continue a definite
set of policies. Johnson’s mandate
is as much a rejection of Goldwa-
ter’s conservatism as it is an or-
der to continue the policies that
President Kennedy introduced in
1961. It is mainly by interpreting
the popular vote as an antithesis
to Goldwater’s policies that we
can deduce the three most im-
portant directives of Johnson’s
mandate.
We now know for sure that the
immense majority of the voters
favor in their hearts and minds
the extension of civil rights to
all Americans with the help of
the federal government. It is not
that Senator Goldwater is against
civil rights. He is not. Neverthe-
less, his policies would have
helped considerably the segrega-
tionist cause by delaying the im-
plementation of civil rights
through inaction of the federal
authorities.
We now know for sure that the
American people overwhelmingly
reject the increase of internation-
al tensions that would have come
as a result of Goldwater’s rigid
policies in foreign affairs. The
majority of the American people
approve the present policy of co-
existence and containment as a
reasonable alternative to a nu-
clear conflagration. This is not
to say that Communist hegemony
is acceptable. The hopes of West-
ern victory in local battles like
Cuba and Vietnam must be kept
alive in thought and in deeds.
We now know for sure that to
a great extent Americans oppose
any decrease in the role of the
federal government. As to an in-
crease of Washington's role in
the country, the voters have dele-
gated their representatives in
Congress with this authority.
Medicare and increased federal
aid to education will be left in
the hands of representatives and
senators, who will be carrying
their individual mandates from
the citizens they represent.
No one knows for sure how the
President and Congress are going
to interpret their respective man-
dates. There is great hope that
both Mr. Johnson and the Con-
gress will see in their mandates a
voice of confidence in'the ideals
tioned as a family would and
found a new and richer meaning
in recreation integrated with a
knowledge of love and joy that
only comes with selflessness.
By praying together as a fam-
ily, we discovered a new insight
and unity in both private prayer
and the Mass.
The means that we used to
bring about a realization of the
real meaning of Christian living
was not the traditional confer-
ences, but discussions in which
we all participated. These discus-
sions covered such topics as mar-
riage, selflessness vs. selfishness,
Christian love, the sacrifice of
Christ and the sacrifice we must
make, and the realization of our
vocations.
Next Sunday, November 8, we
are returning to San Antonio to
discuss the application of the
principles of Christian life in our
lives.
For those interested, there will
be another retreat on December
6, 7 and 8. For further informa-
tion, please contact Father Baker,
CSC, student chaplain.
