Vain Affluence
By Anthony Stiles
Man... what a strange creature,
he’s bom, struggle, and strives,
to become the main feature,
then he’s hurt, utilized, and dies.
Why even begin the race?
There’s too much to fight alone.
Life ticks at any unsteady pace
and there again, he’s gone.
He’s no Alpha nor Omega,
he has nothing to say,
and this mortal, this fella,
will dry and blow away.
Saying the world is absurd,
he claims he’d no chance,
looking from deaths door earthward.
But only in a glance.
This poem was originally submitted to The TIGER in 1979.

Halff Foundation
Awards Grant for
Music Program
By Shawana Freeman Blair
SPC has received a $5,000.00
grant from the G.A.C. Halff Foun-
dation of San Antonio for its Music
Advancement Program (MAP). For
the past three years, SPC has con-
ducted the program in conjunction
with the San Antonio Symphony
and the San Antonio Independent
School District (SAISD).
MAP is a music education pro-
gram for disadvantaged, highly gifted
and talented SAISD middle school
band and orchestra students.
Dr. Sandra Mayo, Dean of Arts
and Sciences at St. Philip’s College,
said, “The Theatre and Fine Arts
Department is proud to offer this
unique opportunity to SAISD stu-
dents. Past students of the program
have gone on to wonderful success
in their middle school andhigh school
band or orchestra programs.”
The music program is offered at
the College on Saturdays from Oc-
tober to May. Each year this pro-
gram has provided full scholarships
for 30 to 50 sixth, seventh, and/or
eighth grade participants to receive
private music lessons, ensemble in-
structions, and music workshops
taught by San Antonio Symphony
musicians, St. Philip’s College fac-
ulty, and local professional musi-
cians. Since its inception, MAP has
served over 100 students.
