Sodality Offers
Apostolic Variety
By MANUEL TORRENO
Sodality Reporter
The Sodality of Our Lady in-
vites anyone interested in help-
ing spread the message of Christ
and His Church, to take part in
the activities of one of its five
committees.
The Sodality has two main
purposes: the spiritual improve-
ment of its members through
certain daily exercises and the
sanctification of others through
the apostolate. These two com-
plement and strengthen each
other. Lack of one necessarily
weakens the other.
Committees which handle the
apostolate include non-members
of the Sodality. The family com-
mittee is mainly occupied with
organizing and teaching religion
in public high schools. Seven
parishes are handled so far; over
1000 students were taught last
year.
The civil community committee
organizes and teach is classes in
English for illterate people in
San Antonio, helps Bro. Herbert
Leies, SM, in his social work, and
plans instruction for couples mar-
ried outside the Church.
The parish or campus com
mittee works for the spiritual
welfare of the University stu-
dent. This committee last year
started the drive which resulted
in our new chapel.
The world committee, virtually
unlimited in its field of activity,
has sent books, clothing, and
religious articles to missions in
America and abroad.
These activities and the spirit-
ual exercises and instruction are
coordinated by the organization
committee. It also plans the an-
nual closed retreat for the group,
social and combined activities,
and schedules all events.
Sodality is open to young men
and women conected in some way
with StMU, on all levels of part-
icipation from committee mem-
ber and visitor to consecrated
Sodalist. Group meetings are held
weekly on Saturdays at 1 pm in
Reinbolt hall, or at various times
during the week. The young
Governor Names
Dr. Hamm To
Texas Board
Dr. William J. Hamm, S.M.,
professor of Physics at St.
Mary’s University, was recently
named by Gov. Price Daniel to
serve on the board of director
of the Texas Surplus Property
Agency.
Bro. Hamm is one of the six
representatives of colleges and
schools on the board, which super-
vises the acquisition of surplus
property from the federal govern-
ment for use by public agencies
in Texas.
Rattler Club
Sponsors Drawing
The Rattler Club began the
sale of tickets for its annual
gasoline drawing Friday, Sept.
21. The sale will extend to Oct.
26 with tickets for 100 gallons of
gasoline costing 25c each or five
for a dollar.
Plans are being made to have
the drawing during the 10 o’clock
break on Oct. 26. The holder of
the winning ticket need not be
present. Tickets may be obtained
from any Rattler Club member.
The post of Div. Arty, com-
mander is filled by Cdt. Col. Ed-
gar E. Sprinkle, III, math major
from Monahans, Texas. The bur-
den of the corps — its attitudes,
discipline, spirit—lies on the jun-
iors and basic course students,”
said Sprinkle.
He added: “The senior officers
will try to instill command re-
sponsbility and corps spirit to
help prepare you for the climax
of summer camp.”
Lt. Col. Edward J. Costello,
newly appointed professor of mili-
tary science, is “looking forward
to a very enjoyable year for both
the military .staff and the cadet
corps.” He promised, “There will
be no sour faces on the rostrum.”
Col. Costello comes to St. Mary’s
from Iran, where he served a
tour of duty as an artillery ad-
visor.
Other new members of the de-
partment are Capt. Daniel L.
Criswell, S/Sgt. Myrl Massie,
women’s group meets Tuesdays
at 5:30 pm.
According to Bro. Charles Cum-
miskey, coordinator and one of
the moderators, the Sodality has
emerged from a summer of ap-
praisal and reorganization as a
more efficient and vital organ-
ization.
StMU Sodalists work to be
more worthy of the title “Front
Line of The Church” given the
Sodality by the late Pius XII,
himself a sodalist.

Yearbook Announces
Picture Schedule
Annual pictures for the Dia-
mondback will be taken by Stu-
ders October 10, 11 and 12, 8 a.m.
to 4:30 p.m. in the Administration
building entrance hall. Cost for
the service is $1.
Clayton Royce, Diamondback
editor, said he wishes to double
the graduate and undergraduate
sections by getting a picture of
every student.
and Capt. Benjamin F. Sharp.
Capt. Irving T. Gorman joined
the staff last April.
Because of the great number
of senior military students (55
or almost twice last year’s num-
ber) the Division Artillery has
been increased to three batallions
and eight batteries, allowing
room for more cadet officers. A
slight increase was also regis-
tered in the corps enrollment,
now just over 600 cadets.
Besides Sprinkle, cadet offi-
cers include Cdt. Lt. Cols. Otto
Richter, Jr., Nicholas Barron,
Irving P, Scheutze, Gus O. Ben-
avides, Jr., Manuel E. Rangel,
and Robert E. Lorenz. Appointed
cadet majors are Charles Q.
Brown, Gregorio A. Pedroza,
James E. Barylski, Lawrence W.
Freeman, and Arthur W. Puig.
Sixteen cadet captains and 27
cadet first and second lieuten-
ants complete the list.
The seniors plan a program to
establish certain traditions re-
lated to the corps. In addition to
present ceremonies, such as the
transferring of the colors to the
junior class in May, plans in-
clude a set procedure and cere-
mony for the Military Ball and
an organization of traditions of
the Cadet Officers’ Club.
The Association of the United
States Army chapter and battery,
moderated by Maj. William E.
Shambora, is planning expansion
in its second year of existence.
According to Cdt. Lt. Col. Otto
Richter, president, “We will use
AUSA as a vehicle to instill
leadership and broaden knowl-
edge in topics related to the Army
and artillery. We ask the juniors
to come and get it.”
One planned activity of AUSA
is a “program of preparedness”
for summer camp. This may in-
clude a demonstration of recon-
naissance, selection, and occupa-
tion of position (RSOP) by the
battery, and a glimpse of the
“Disneyland” leadership reaction
course. Instruction will be given
in disassembly of the breech-
block, use of the panoramic
sight, and advanced bore sight-
ing techniques.
The battery will show its wares
in parades and demonstrations
throughout the year. Members
wil wear a distinctive single-
cord gold fouragere.
214 Receive
Flu Shots
A total of 214 Asiatic Flu im-
munization shots were distributed
to students, faculty and em-
ployees of St. Mary’s University,
according to Mrs. Florence Zum-
walt, Student Health Center
Nurse. A notice from the Public
Health Service reporting that in-
cidence of the desease would in-
crease in the late Fall stimulated
the drive.
The Health Center also admi-
nistered 75 injections of gamma
globulin when it was learned that
one student had contracted hepa-
titis, a liver, infection.
Mrs. Zumwalt added, “A mobile
chest X-ray will be on campus
Nov. 7. No fee will be charged,
but donations up to 25c will be
asked. Registration forms for X-
rays will be available on campus
after Oct. 15.”

National Director Tells
Of Catholic Peace Corps
In a return visit to St. Mary’s,
Fr. John J. Sullivan, National
Director of Lay Extension Vol-
unteers, addressed a group of stu-
dents and faculty in Reinbolt
Auditorium, Friday, Sept. 28 at
the 10 am break. His visit was
part of a nation-wide expansion
tour.
Founded jointly with the Papal
Volunteers for Latin America,
the Extension Volunteers limit
their work to the home missions.
Fr. Sullivan, whose offices are in
Chicago, told of many home mis-
sions on the outskirts of major
cities in the U.S. where conver-
sions are relatively high but sub-
sequent education is practically
non-existant.
At 'the present time there are
181 volunteers working in 11
states. By the end of this year,
the organization hopes to have
500 workers scattered throughout
22 states. “We are much like the
Peace Corps,” Fr. Sullivan stated.
“And like the Peace Corps, we
are in dire need of male appli-
cants. Men just don’t seem to
realize that a good Catholic
means an apostolic Catholic.”
Volunteers go through a train-
ing program varying in length
according to their qualifications.
There is a training center in al-
most every diocese in the U.S.
making it unnecessary for the
trainee to go away before he
actually begins his assigned ac-
tivity.
Fr. Sullivan emphasized, “This
is a first class operation. Our
volunteers are ordinary people
with three outstanding qualifi-
cations: optimism, firm convic-
tions and faith.” Since most of
the missionary work involves
teaching, the majority of the vol-
unteers are recent college grad-
uates. The organization now has
five schools staffed entirely by
lay volunteers.
Volunteers serve in the home
missions for a minimum of one
year; for the Latin American
countries—three years. “In both
Chapel Choir
Makes Debut
St. Mary’s University now has
two male singing organizations.
In addition to the music depart-
ment’s1 Glee Club there is a new-
ly formed Assumption Chapel
Choir.
Under the direction of Fr.
George Montagues, SM, St. Mary’s
student chaplain, the choir made
its debut at the student Mass
Sun., Sept. 23. The following Sun-
day, the entire congregation was
asked to participate on several of
the hymns.
. Fr. Montague stated that there
were two objectives in forming
the new group: first, to provide
an experienced choir to accomp-
any the Mass on special feasts;
and second, to form a nucleus
around which community singing
may be initiated. The latter is
part of a program to elicit great-
er participation in the Mass.
Members include: Edward
Banz, Nick Barron, Jim Barta,
George Bracamontes, Bob Bris-
chetto, Joseph Ching, John Cock-
arham, Douglas Dilley, George
Goolsby, Fred Kent, Vincent Lin,
Ben Malta, Gary Nadolski, Rap-
hael Omondi and Ed Sprinkle.
The organist is Bro. Rodney
Novesad, SM.

the foreign and home missions,”
Fr. Sullivan said, “we have found
that frequently the lay aposto-
lates are 10 times more effective
in their work than the religious.
Recent figures indicate that there
is one priest per 11,500 people
in Latin America. The fact that
30 percent of our population is
in the missions indicates a great
need for a speed-up in our pro-
gram.”
Each volunteer is provided
room and board and a small week-
ly allowance during his service
period. Male applicants are grant-
ed a temporary deferment from
military service. Although teach-
ing is the principal work under-
taken, there are also clerical and
secretarial positions.
Further information about the
program may be obtained from
Fr. George Montague, SM, St.
Mary’s University Chaplain.
Training periods are held several
times a year.
New Officers Chose
For Sociology Club
The Sociology Club of St.
Mary’s University, under Bro.
Herbert Leies, SM, as moderator,

tion of its new officers. Results
of the election place Bro. Dick
Hoe.rl, SM, as president. Other
officers are Bro. J. Robben, SM,
Elzio Collins, Michael Denny,
Paul Biever, and Luis Alvarado.
The club will engage in prac-
tical studies and action in the
realm of sociology.
Council Sets Dunce Next Saturday
St. Mary’s University Student Council will hold its “Get
Acquainted” dance, Saturday, Oct. 13 from 8 to 12 pm in the Pecan
Grove.
Entertainment will be furnished by the Dave Bent Quintet.
Faculty members were invited by Student Council members to at-
tend the dance. Admission will be free, but students must have their
activity cards with them to be admitted. In case of inclement
weather, the dance will be held in the cafeteria.
Bill Rex, student social chairman, said, “Couples are encouraged
but stags will be welcome.”

CLUB &
CAMPUS
FASHIONS
BY 0. E. SCHOEFFLER, ESQUIRE’S Fashion Director
In Fall a young man’s fancy turns to femmes, football and fashions'.
Space and discretion rule out a rundown on femmes or football, but
let’s take a look at' the latest Fall Fashions for tailored apparel.
They should capture the fancy of every .young man.
RETURN OF THE MAN IN THE GRAY
FLANNEL SUIT—From campus to Mad-
ison Avenue, the practical gray flannel is
back, but in new, lighter gray tones than
those of the deep, dark past. This styling,
of course, is natural shoulder, with center
vent and trim trousers. While the 3-button
jacket retains its perennial popularity,
the more vigorous appearing JFK 2-but-
ton model is an exciting new development
that will definitely be big on campus this
year. For the adventuresome there are
chalk stripes and pin stripes in these new
lighter gray flannels, as well as in the
dressier dark blue unfinished worsteds for
after-dark wear.

BROWN IS BUSTING OUT ALL OVER
...replacing olive as the most popular
color on campus this Fall. In every fashion
category—and especially in tailored ap-
parel—brown is setting the tone.
Throughout the spectrum, from deep car-
bon brown unfinished worsteds to more
relaxed grayish brown flannels, brown is
big news. You’ll find most of the newer
items in accessories—belts, shirts, neck-
wear and knitwear—keyed to coordinate
with the big boom in brown.
