Health Fair
The week of April 23rd, the Health Center will focus on

Moody Hall. There will be several screening procedures and
many educational exhibits and literature. Students who are
interested in volunteering time as Health Fair aides or art
talent, please contact the Health Center, ext. 250.
New Type of V.D.?
No. Herpes Genitalis Type II has been around for a while;
however, until recently not much has been published on the
subject. It is now one of the most rapid-spreading types of
V.D.
Herpes in the genital area is caused by a virus closely
related to the one which causes fever blisters. From 2 to 12
days after direct contact with an infected person, one or
several blisters may appear on or around the genitalia.
This may be accompanied by pain, fever, headache, swollen
glands, and a general sick feeling. These symptoms may last
from 1 to 3 weeks after which time all symptoms disappear
spontaneously. Due to the virus’ ability to lie dormant,
recurrent infections occur as a reaction to certain stimuli,
e.g. emotional or physical stress. There is no known cure at
the present time, but certain comfort measures are available.
Prevention consists of avoiding sexual contact with indi-
viduals who have the disease or requesting the male partner
to use a condom (rubber) during intercourse.
There is evidence which indicates that women who are in-
fected with genital herpes run an increased risk of developing
cervical cancer. Thus, a woman who has had a herpes infec-
tion should have a Pap smear at least annually. Herpes Geni-
talis is especially hazardous during pregnancy. If an active
infection exists at the time of delivery, the baby may acquire
the virus during passage through the birth canal. The infec-
tion is often fatal in a newborn. Active infection during
pregnancy also increases the likelihood of spontaneous abor-
tion and premature labor.

William Bellinghausen is a man
whose schedule hardly seems to be
laden with great amounts of free
time. Not only has he been mar-
ried for twelve years and the father
of two children, William holds a
full-time job as a telephone service
supervisor and has been a member
of the U.S. Naval Reserve for
eight years. Obviously, he attends
night classes at St. Edward’s,
majoring in management, and is a
hopeful graduate this spring se-
mester. Like most seniors at this
point in the school year, William
contemplates St. Ed’s academic
programs and considers how they
meet the needs of the students.
Noting that St. Ed’s provides a
valuable service to those who can
attend nothing but night classes
and that the student body is well-
blended with different ethnic
groups, William points out some
vital aspects in St. Ed’s that could
and should be improved upon. “I
feel that there are some- foreign
students who are intimidated in
some of the classes they attend and
are not allowed to express their
true feelings because of repercus-
sions.” Mr. Bellinghausen is na-
turally speaking of particular man-
feople tteResTed
IN Li (N The
CENER fOR
agement courses because of his
regular contact with that depart-
ment. “A lot of students, in the
meantime, are suffering consider-
ably because of low grades.” Mr.
Bellinghausen is himself having
problems because his commitment
to the Naval Reserve required him
to take part in a two-week duty
period. “But, with a tutor I finally
obtained and a little luck, I plan
on making it.”
Mr. Bellinghausen used to at-
tend the University of Texas but
switched to St. Edward’s because
of its night class offerings. This is
the main reason he attends St.
Ed’s. However, he has learned
that St. Ed’s does have a personal
touch. “At UT I was treated more
or less like a number, but here at
St. Ed’s I’m treated more like a
Death. Barfo has been inspired.

New College:
A Student’s
Outlook
by John Nira
A prime example of the New
College Student can be seen in
Charlotte Gewin. Taking a full
course load of 14 hours and
amassing approximately 74 hours
through CLEP tests, transfer
credits from San Antonio College
and the assessment of prior learn-
ing, Charlotte has tallied 88 hours
in only her initial semester.
Charlotte first heard about New
College a couple of years ago and,
after mulling the New College pro-
gram over in her mind, she pro-
ceeded to see a counselor and
enroll in the program. Since then
she has been grateful for the pro-
gram’s flexibility and availability
to those in her situation.
Hoping to obtain a degree in
elementary education, Mrs. Gewin
quit working. “I put my husband
through college and now he is put-
ting me, or putting up with me as
I attend St. Edward’s.”
Mrs. Gewin goes on to say that
New College is great for students
in her particular situation and that
“it’s great to see 50- and 60-year-
olds in class with me.”

fo” (included many television
parodies)—attendance, 150. It was
in this show that Barfo discovered
death, a topic that would keep
them intrigued for years to follow.
Oscar nominations are abundant,
but this fact is covered up by
newspapers. Highlights: “Football
Game,” “Pencils, Paintings, Wo-
men for Sale,” “Registration,”
“Tale of Argo,” and “Killer
Joke.” Members now total 15.
May 4, 1977—“The Best of Bar-
fo”—attendance 225-250. Presi-
dent Carter flies to Austin to
award Barfo the Nobel Peace Prize
for enlightening the subject of
human being.
Mr. Bellinghausen goes on to
say that St. Ed’s is made up of
dedicated individuals but “the
management courses could use im-
provement and one specific course
is a mess.” He admires the admin-
istration for trying amid the chaos
but brings out a point that the en-
tire student body can sympathize
with, “Registration leaves some-
thing to be desired.”
Considering his degree another
milestone in his life, Mr. Bell-
inghausen doubts whether his de-
gree will bring a higher salary.
Nevertheless, he supports the no-
tion that St. Ed’s provides a valu-
able service to those really desiring
a college education and concedes
that St. Ed’s was a learning experi-
ence.

with 17 members, and by opening

For the remaining issues, the
Hilltopper will profile one or more
graduating seniors and recount
those individuals’ views on St. Ed-
ward’s, their future and other mat-
ters pertaining to the student
body’s interest. This week begins
the series and it will prove to be
an interesting and unique look into ae
the diversity of St. Edward’s
graduating students.
