tie to drink. But I do not think it
impossible for them to rouse them-
selves for a short trip to dispose of
their trash.
The cans in the ReUnion are
among the most neglected. It is im-
possible to leave our on-campus
socializing establishment without
passing a garbage can, yet most
Hilltoppers choose to ignore them
and leave their used cups, plates,
and napkins on the table for some-
one else to deal with. (I realize there
is a group of students who never
leave trash on the tables, but in-
stead throw it on the floor under
the table; but I think this commen-
tary applies to these people also.)
By now many of you might be
wondering why a cat is so upset

Well, good luck in your daily

charitable move for myself and
other animals around campus. The
only animals benefitting are rats
and roaches. I HATE RATS! I
don’t kill them because I like them.
They are ugly and have lice. And
roaches are even worse. I won’t
even touch them.
But the best reason for people to
stop leaving trash outside of trash
cans is that it is not attractive. One
cannot esthetically appreciate it as
one can a clean campus. I’m sure I
am not the only one who feels this
way. So, when you finish that next
cigarette, that next soft drink, beer,
candy, or whatever, hold on to that
butt, cup, wrapper, or whatever for
a few moments longer and dispose
of correctly. Let’s take trash cans
out of'the realm of art and return
them to the world of practicality!

own around campus. One thing
about these new students however,
they seem to find the oddest places
to park their cars and trucks. The
first Saturday they were here, prob-
ably because it was so dark, they
obviously lost their way and ended
up parking in the most barren parts
of the University. Walking around
campus was like a big Easter-egg
hunt, and some of the positions
they managed to get their cars into,
damn. Seriously, to all the first
year students, “Welcome.”
Classes have started and so have
a lot of other things. I urge you to
become aware of things like the stu-
dent government (S.A.I.) It repre-
sents you; it is you. Becoming an
involved student could make your
stay a lot more interesting, pro-
fitable and enjoyable. There are
various activities going on through-
out the semester, just watch for
signs. If you happen to have a jour-
nalistic knack, just wander up to
remitingly the distinctly individual
spirit of every student.
Most instructors have at least
one of these qualities, but it is rare
to find one in whom all of these
traits might be found. At St. Ed-
ward’s I believe that we can find
many.
During my scholastic career I
have attended several colleges seek-
ing the proper place for me and my
interests. In three semesters at St.
Edward’s I have yet to find one in-
structor who has refused to accept,
appreciate, or confirm my faith in
the institute of learning and what
was at one time my sagging faith in
humanity. I applaud the faculty. I
hold them in high esteem.
The faculty is ours and as such
created to service our needs. We
students need but ask, and the doors
will open. The acceptance, the
confirmation, and the love are ours
if we seek it. At St. Edward’s I have
found my niche and to this Univer-
sity I am devoted.
Praise is due, I think. Someone
on this campus, some art lover,
seems to have had the generosity to
donate several modern art sculp-
tures to St. Edward’s. They’re
everywhere: in classroom build-
ings, in dorms, in the ReUnion,
even scattered around the grounds.
You might have missed them, for
you see, they resemble trash cans.
In fact, at first, that is exactly what
I thought they were! But after
observing the way Hilltoppers use
them, I came to the conclusion that
they have no functional purpose.
O.K. Maybe my sarcasm has got-
ten a little out of hand and I’m ex-
aggerating. Granted, some people
use the trash cans around here; but,
too many people don’t. Have you
ever noticed the patio area after an
afternoon lunch/concert? It looks
like the county dump; there is more
trach on the ground than in the
waste recepticals! I understand that
at such events most people have
just eaten and had more than a lit-

The true representatives of any
scholastic institution are its facul-
ty. We see these people every day as
we wind our ways toward a degree,
and it is often from them that we
receive the first indications of our
future professional merit and
worth. It is often that one hears of
a particular instructor or event that
has directly influenced a student’s
life in such a way that its course has
been changed. With the potential
influence and power faculty mem-
bers might wield, it is imperative
that they truly understand the stu-
dents individual needs and require-
ments.
It would seem that in order to be
a teacher certain qualities are
necessary: the ability to charm,
captivate, and fascinate the unruley
individual; to be tender, interested
and warm hearted towards lost
souls wandering the halls; to offer
earned recognition and encourage-
ment to the enterprising individual;
and, above all, to cherish un-
Campus Ministry is happy to an-
nounce that a Mass in Spanish will
be held every Sunday evening at
10:00 p.m. in East Hall Chapel.
Fathers Pete Cortex and Manuel
Villareal from the Oblate Com-
munity will be the celebrants for
this service. “It is absolutely essen-
tial for Christians to worship in
their native language,” reports Fr.
Clem, Director of Campus Minis-
try, “therefore, the celebration of a
weekly Spanish liturgy provides
Christian worship and service to a
large population of the St. Ed’s
community.” Other worship ser-
vices provided by Campus Ministry
include masses at 9:00 a.m., 11:00
a.m. and 10:00 p.m. in the Univer-
sity Chapel.

Hello world in general and stu-
dents in particular; glad to see so
many familiar faces, and also, so
many friendly new ones. Welcome
to the hottest full semester in the
country. It usually doesn’t get real-
ly cold (35-40 degrees) until the
spring semester. (God runs his
weather data card through the St.
Edward’s computer.) It will still be
in the mid-fifties to sixties when
you go home for Christmas, hope-
fully.
It is good to see that the fresh-
man class is so large. It seems that
every year there is much fretting on
the hill as to whether anyone will
actually show up. Well, they show-
ed up all right, and these freshmen
have a kind of knowing gleam in
their collective eyes, reflecting
either their educational expecta-
tions or the fact that they’ve
already found the cheapest pitchers
in town. Whatever the case, it
seems they’ll be able to hold their
