in Treadaway Auditorium.
The program, conducted in an
informal talk-show format,
with three convicted criminals
which enabled students to be-
come more informed about
criminal activity.
Twenty-two year old, Alex
was 19 when he was first ap-
prehended for car robbery.
“Just about any car can be
broken into. It depends on the
criminal and ho w bad he wants
inside it,” Alex said. “I would
walk from house to house with
a flashlight and would be in
and out of a car in about two
minutes,” he added.
Robert was 19 when he was
first apprehended for break-
ing and entering a school. He

Four St. Mary’s students saved the life of an
automobile accident victim Sept. 21.
At about 11 p.m., senior Scott Caballero and
freshman Eric Medcalf had just turned off of
Woodlawn onto southbound NW 36th Street
when the driver of a 1982 Chevy Silverado
pickup struck the curb on his side of the road
and bounded across into oncoming traffic.
Caballero, who was driving, was able to avoid
the oncoming vehicle, but the other driver
veered back into his own lane, ran down a
chain-link fence and smashed into a tree at
2414 NW 36th.
Caballero, who serves as a surgical techni-
cian at Methodist Hospital and was amedic
during Operation Desert Storm, immediately

“The moment he swerved back into his own
lane, Scott started telling me what to do,”
Medcalf said. “All I remember were the things
Scott said: check his breathing, check his pulse.
Things just happened so quick.”
While Caballero retrieved his medical bag
from the car, Medcalf was first on the scene to
assist the injured driver. Junior Ernie Aguirre
and senior Brian Hayes, Caballero’s fraternity
brothers in Lambda Chi Alpha, followed and
also rendered assistance.
“It was a huge adrenaline rush when I first
ran over there,” Medcalf said. “I opened the
driver’s side door. He was laying across the
floorboard. He wasn’t wearing his seatbelt, but
he hadn’t hit the windshield. His feet were
underneath the gas pedal and his legs were

time, he had to spend one and
a half days in jail, pay $800 for
a broken window, and $15,000
in fines and fees, and spend
five years of probation. A big
price to pay for a friend who
got away scot free. “It was

Robert said.

After her retirement on Sept.
30,1993, Huntzinger is going
to pursue other areas of inter-
est, such as volunteering her
time to working with children
who have AIDS. She said,
however, that whatever she
does may not necessarily be
medical-related. Huntzinger
is just going to “see what’s out
there.”
Although Huntzinger was
enthusiastic as she spoke of
the dream of world travels and
other pursuits, she did express
the feeling that she may not
even realize how much of a

aware of their health needs,”
Huntzinger said.
“The students have been a
stimulus, so my next 22 years
of life will be as challenging as
the first 22 years,” Huntzinger
added."
cording to senior Doyne Dixen,
Huntzinger has always en-
couraged students to be
healthy — physically, men-
tally, and emotionally. “She
especially stressed,” said
Dixen, “the importance of the
balance between a good edu-

Mary’s community and my
daily interactions with stu-
dents the most,” she said.
Huntzinger’s absence will
definitely be felt.
“I will miss her smiling face.
I would like to thank her for
all the care and guidance she
has given me over the years
and I would like her to know
how much I appreciate and
love her as a friend,” said
Dixen.
As York said, “She’ll be
greatly missed.”
