Faces Change Old Govennnent
By Leticia Diaz
Once upon a lime in a state supported institute, incidents of bad mishaps were reported occurring agaln and again in a monotonous tune.
Today, Cande Ontiveros, Student Government President, and Larry Garcia, Vice PrE1Sident, together with a full staff of 16 senators have set out to accomplish ultimate goals for PAU's Student Government.
August 29 at 6:30 p .m., Ontiveros and Garcia met with their senators to d1scuss approvals and injuctions of their campaign proposals. These were the results;
Of the selected proposals, students' access to faculty evaluations "would be a mandatoary deal next spring, although we're still working on it'' says Ralph Magana, attorney general.
The dean of councils
composed of selected members met twice in August to discuss this issue which was a "bitter debate'' to those concerned.
Instructor course analysis was Implemented thJs FaU as a volunteer basis for faculty members. Included in this anaJysls, specifications of Instructor's course syllabus were made readable for students' use during registration.
Sixty class Instructors responded to the analysis making It a ''worthwhile event for incoming freshmen," said Magana.
Fm Pan Amcommuters, a convlent car pool plan was approved for thls Fall ,
The formulated plan requires each car to have. a regular parking permit, whether It be faculty, administratlotl, or student sticker.
Ananci!I! aid records budget: 517.494
Alumni AssoctaH011 : $200 Yearbook: $64,664 Staff group insurance; fringe
benefits: $10,500
The budget covers a
wide range of services designated to benefit PAU students. Dr. de los
Santos said, ''I think students are getting very good use of their student service fees."
Regent Appointed Ricardo H. Hinojosa, a
McAllen attorney, was appointed to the PAU Bc-ard of Regents by Gov, Bill Clements, Aug. 31.
Hinojosa, 29, and a Rio Grande City native, was appointed to a sixyear term which expires Aug. 31, 1985.
He replaces Leonel Garza of Brownsville, whose term has expired.
Hinojosa, a graduate of Rio Grande City High School, was graduated from the University of Texas at Austin In 1972 with a BA degree in government; he received his law degree from Har• vard Law School in 19-75. He has been practicing civil law ln the Valley since his Harvard graduation.
Hinojosa hopes to see continued growth of both the Edinburg and Brownsville campuses during his tenure .
He also said that he is "especially interested in education, and being from the Valley, l was really Interested in serv• ing on something like the
Board of Regents." "A5, far as continued
progress in the Valley, I feel one of the keys to that progress is education,'' said Hinojosa .
Figures Released Approximately 8,863
students are enrolled at PAU's campuses in Edinburg and Brownsville, according to John Hool<, dean of admissions and inslructfonal services.
This year, ~he enrollment figure rose instead of decreasing as it did for the 1978 fall semester.

There c1re approximately 8,033 students enrolled at the Edinburg campus
There were 929 students who enrolled at the PAU-Brownsville campus; 99 of these students were dually enrolled on both campuses.

s1ty Theatre summer production of Jack Heifner's hit play "Vanities," was performed on invitation at the Belles Aries theatre at San Miguel de Allende. July 20 and 21. Dr. Marian
Manta, director, said the play was so well received that the University Theatre was asked to consider coming back for a longer engagement to do several plays in repertory .
Cast members featured
in the production were Lyn Cramer as Kathy, Linda Noble as Joanne, and Chris Herrera as Mary Heifner's play is the story of three girls who are childhood friends.
The first act takes place
Renovallons Not Complete
during their senior year in high school. In the second act, they are college seniors, alld the third act takes place at an impromptu reunion in New York, 10 years after high school . The play deals with the changes in the lives of these young women, and contains a high degree of comedy and a touch of pathos.
To avoid the long lines which had become too usual, the snack Bar Is undergoing extensive renovation. According to Paul Rodriguez, director of dining services, the area which had previously served as the bookstore wUJ become an extension of the dining room.
Construction began in the middle of August after $um mer school ended,
onsmur.r1t'l,n will ot
be completed until February; therefore, the ballroom will be temporarily used as the Snack Bar. Rodriguez commented In the regular dining room, a new floor has been put in and the walls bave been painted
One of the biggest pro• blems before the renovation began was space. The Snack Bar was too small to accomodate the hundre o students w o used It.
Rodriguez commented, ''This had to be done. We were very crowded." "We didn't have the capacity to serve all those people."
Beslde's the new Snack Bar being enlarged the menu will feature more Items such as pizza, hot dogs and sandwiches . Rodriguez said judging from what he has seen of the plans, the new Snack B r will e lgger, better and "very. very nice."

School Granted Accredit:ation Scientist To Make Cam pus Visit The school of education
at Pan American University has been granted full accreditation by the National Council £or Accreditation of Teacher Education, NCATE.
AU programs of study offered by PAU's School of
·Education are now fully accredlted , including bachelors and master's pro-
grams at the elementary and secondry levels, all level special education programs and all school administrator certification programs .
Out of 62 Texas colleges and universities apprnved · for teacher preparation programs, there are only 25 including Pan Am, with -NCATE accreditatlon .
The School of Education sought accreditation from NCA TE as a result of President Ralph Schilling's ln!',lstence upon quality programs at PAU.
A special benefit that ap-, plies to Pan American University students coming from an NCATE acccredltzd instltution, includes im-
mediate acceptance by other accredited Institutions of thelr course work and degrees. In an area such as teacher education where th~y have complet-
ed part ot a certificate with one institution, they can avoid the costly loss of many credit hours of work when transferring to an• other institution or out of sta1e institution.
Dr . BUI Reeves, dean of the School of Education, said the faculty had spent two years preparing a self• study which was required by the Council before determining that PAU was eligible for accreditation.
"While preparing the self-study, we found some programs with weak elements and Immediately made Improvements EvldentJy it was to our benefit to scrutinize ourselves first because we did receive ac· credltation, therefore we feel honored," said Dean Reeves.

The self-study was reviewed by the council, and a vi.siting team sent to the
Edlnburg campus to verify the rep_ort. The 12 mem-
bers ot the team spent March 25-28 talking with PAU faculty, students and
public school teachers and administrators. The team conducted an in-depth probe of student records,
PAU was allowed to respond to the visiting team's report 'prior lo the
NCATE's meeting to deter• mine the university's status.
The self-study was verified, and PAU's School of Education was granted full
accreditation, after applying only once, by the nation's only accrediting body

Sometimes, they can have humorous results. Take the recent situation at the flnandal aid office. Rumor had It the office wcu offering scholarshlpa to short people.
A woman reportedly called the flnandal aid oJflce recently requatlng lnfonna11on about such a •cholarshlp. Th/6 .ame woman had called to other depart• menta caking the same thing. Several departmentll were calling ftnanclal aid to ask them to confirm or dlapel the romor. Al one office worker sold, "the whole thing was 01 much of o myste-1).1 to them as II was to everyone else. "
In any case, the short-lived rumor had some lndlvlduala of ttmaller arature than aueroge walking o mite da.er to the clouds for a time. Bui, the Incident ended when the tall tale was cut down to 1lze.

Division Head Selected As Advisor By Beverly Byrd
Pan American's Dr. Roy Flores has been selected economic advisor to Robert Krueger, President Carter's designate for ambassador-at-large to Mexico.
Dr. Flores first learned about Pan Am's associate professor from Juan Maldonado, San Juan's mayor. and Weslaco's Jesus Ramirez. Maldonado and Ramirez were coordinators of Krueger's South Texas campaign in his recent senatorial bid .
After Interviewing Dr. Flores and several other candidates for special assistant for economic affairs, Krueger selected Dr. Flores to fill the post. Dr. Flores. the director of Pan Am's human resources center In the school of business, has done widespread research and study In economics and has published several papers on the subject.
Dr. Flores, a native Texan from Laredo, moved to Gary, lnd, when ge was six. He spen1 his growIng years In Gary and graduated from the Gary public school system.
* *
In 1979 Dr. Flores received hts B.A. degree in history from Indiana State University Still wanting to further his education. he stayed at Indiana State until he received a M.S degree in economics in 1971.
By this time . Dr. Flores was too involved In the field of economics to stop al a master's. Therefore In 1973. he went to Iowa State University and started working on a Ph .D. from Iowa State in 1973,
While working on his Ph .D .. Dr Flores concentrated on monetary theory and regional-urban economics. During this time he aJso taught economics at Iowa State University In 1973. he came to Pan American University to join the teaching staff 1n the school of business.
Dr. Flores has requested a leave of absence from PAU to accept the Krueger offer. He will hold the position of special assistance for economic affairs until December of 1980 and then wlll return to Pan Am and the Valley .

Large Percen~e Receive Financial Aid
By David Sands ff you have not Jumped on the bandwagon to
receive your federal loans and grants here at Pan American, you are one of the few students who have not.
About 75 percenl of Pan American's approximate 9,000 students enrolled for the spring and fall sessions have received some type of finandaJ aid . Since most of these students were reared in lowincome families , they need assistance of federal loans and grants in order to go lo school.
Suzie Mendoza ls one of the 75 percent who ls receiving financial aid al Pan American She says there's absolutely no way she could be attending school without financial assistance because her parents are not able to put her through college; this Is the case with nearly all of the students who are receiving financial aid. Mendoza is interested In the field of hurnan service. and financial aid enables her to take classes in nursing.
However , she does not wish lo begin her career here In the Valley: she happens to be partial to

Coinrnittee Adopts Plans For Hoineconring '79
A schedule of the 1979 Homecoming Dec. 1-5 was ad ,opted by a committee of students and PAV staff as a tentative plan , according to Jerry Baldwin , director of the Alumni Association .

The tentative schedule Is as follows:

-"South Pacific", joint production by the drama and music departments.
2 . Homecoming dates are set for Dec . 1-5

University Bookstore Operating Adequately .The PAU Bookstore,
which has been open for several weeks, has been operating with almost •cno problems, '' according to B.J. Pigg, University Bookstore Manager
The new store is operating about the same as the old one, says Pigg , and only a few adjust• ments have been made.
The money received from the bookstore's sales goes lo the Auxiliary Enterprise System. This system also received the income from the Dining Services on campus The bookstore, as weU as the
dining service, receives the money needed for their operations from the AES .
Pigg dismisses the rumor that the bookstore has the used books at the back of the store and will not bring them out until the new ones are sold. ''That's not true," says Pigg, "we are here to serve the students."
According to him. the book publishers give the books!Qre a 20 per cent discount, which allows them to mark the books up that much.

Fee Questions Remain Unanswered To the Editor:
Every year we get a who. op-de-doo nccounting of where our Student Service Fees go, but some key questions always manage to go unanswered-~or unasked . According to the May, 1979 Bulletin (Apparently binding only upon tudents--nol faculty, staff, administration, or the "UnivetSlty" .} and previous semesfe[S' rec• elpts, the maximum Student Service Fee during regular semesters used to be $27, not he $30 mentioned In your article and charged at registration this Foll. Question. Was the potential extra $26,589 (S3 X ,863 students) included In the budget?
Now. $3 Is not a colossal rip-off. but if you've ever been a summer student, think for a minute. How many "services" did you get durlng the summer' Athletics? {Notice how they try to make this expenditure appear 7 per cent smaller by separting the Director and Council.) lntramurals? Publlcahons? Yearbook? None of these ervicesmaking up more than half the budget- are available during Summer School. Yet we used to pay $3 more than for them In the summer
In one respect, the University Is consistent. For summer school stu-
dents there is no honor roll . 01 Student en,ice Fees. less than 2 per cent is dedicated to Honors Studies .. or to the Arts. In other words, this Institution of higher learning seems to place lower emphasis on academics than athlellcs, because about 1/8 as much of our money goes to intellectual pursul as to physical one . And Intellectual
achlevements are ignored during the summer.
As for "our money" Is this an example of taxation {feesation?) without representation? Probably. At budgeting lime there Is very little student Input,
and certainly no opportunity for so much as 5 per cenl of the student body to express an opl· nton . A couple of years ago, there was a survey of students concerning awareness and use of stu-
dent services. There has been, however, woefully little concern shown for studenls' desires and needs concerning student services.
When (If) we make an Issue of It, there may be action taken, but stU • dent input cannot be de ~ cribe.d as actively solicited. For example, Pan American could
charge up to $60 per semester, but places the celling at half that. This simply means we get half the servl.ces we could get. Perhaps we want no ser• vices-or slxt~ dollars'
worth . Have we been asked? Do we want to spend nearly $3 apiece for Public Information, or for Publicatfons? Maybe we'd rather abolish both, and go buy a pizza
apiece . Maybe we 'd rather biple the budget of each and do away with
something else . Who knows? Who's asking?
Dec ision making? Well , there's a Student Affairs Committee with students on it, but they are In the minority . Of that minority, one stu• denr was selected by the administration . If the
other two students represent the wishes of the student body at large 100 per cent. they can be outvoted almost 2 lo 1 by
people the student body ad no hand wha&soeveT
In selecting If, by a fluke , the entire committee was made up of students, this
would sHII be less than 1/10 of 1 per cent of the student body-with no input from the other 99.9 per cent.
Student Service Fee-• would they be more ac• curately described if we -dropped the "-ent"???
Yours for a STUDENT• oriented campus,

Speech Major Utilizes Services Margaret Torres has a
job and she thinks she's goIng to love it!
That ·s the way Margaret planned it
She's a Raymondville High School graduate , daughter or Mr. and Mrs. Leopoldo Torres . She's getting a degree from Pan American University in speech.
Margaret's just gone to Arlington . Texas, as a management trainee for Scientific Products, Division of American Hospital Supply Corp.
It is not perfectly clear whether Margaret chose the hospital supply firm or they chose her. But this job is exactly what she wanted and Margaret seems to be exactly what Scientific Products wanted too.
She was interviewed by the firm almost 10 months ago, and she accepted the Job six months ago while
she was still working on her degree .
The Valleyite said there were two principal in fluences on her choice of a career They are Pan Ame -rlcan University's Career Planning, Placement and Testing Office and the Cooperative Education Program at Pan Am .
Margaret was aware of the job placement services offered by the Unlverslty and took advantage of them. She made it sound easy -- this job finding for seniors. And she said of the placement procedure: "This process should and can be followed by ail seniors if they will go by the Career Planning, Placement and Testing Office in University Center 116, file their credentials and sign up for job interviews."
As for the boost she got from Cooperative Education, Margaret noted some
of her friends were atrairl participation would rl ,av their graduation . Margaret had two separate co-op jobs and got her degree In three-and -a-half vears.
In June of i 978 she worked as a legal research tralnee at the National Ar· chives and Records Ser-vice at Washington In 1979 she worked as a personnel management spe-
, 1alist trainee at the Johnson Space Center ar Houston .
Margaret's maJor was speech with minors in Spanish and business. She turned this education Into just what she wanted when she took the job with the hospital supply firm . S he will work as a trainee there for up to six months . !hen be transferred to another office with the organ12aUon.
She had considered Spanish as a major Then she thought about law enforcement when she was offered a Job in that field with a state agency . But those things were not wha1 Margaret wanted And they aren't what she got
"I strongly urge students," she said, "to start interviewing early for positions that they can take upon graduation from the University .
IBM Sends Visiting Professor Joseph Davenport, former IBM marketing
manager for the central Tex.as area based in Austin, is the new visiting professor in the PAU School of Business
Davenport was employed in the IBM general systems division since 1977. He was the systems engineer manager in Peoria, Ill. , as well as marketing representative, systems engineer, and
administrative specialist in New Orleans from 1966 to 1975.
Davenport is the fourth visiting professor from IBM to teach at PAU . IBM loans these professors to PAU, as well as to other universities throughout the U.S . The corporation pays the professor's entire salary.
HEP Starts Nin th Year At P AU
According to Dr. Bill Platzer, director of Academic Programs in the School of Business, this faculty loan program benefits the University because students can obtain a ''real-world knowledge" about business. The IBM managers may in turn , keep in touch with what is going on in colleges and universities .
For the ninth consecutive year, the High School Equivalency Program (HEP) on campus has received monies re-quested through federal grants of the Department of Labor. The program, under the direction of Clementine Cantu. received $387.761 for use
between Sept. 1 and Aug. 31, 1980.
HEP participants receive General Education a I Development (GED) instruction as well as counseJling and placement. According to Cantu, only migrant seasonal farmworkers between the ages of 17 and 24 may
participate. ln addition, they must meet the poverty criteria and be legal residents.
Participants who wish to enroll into the University receive assistance from the program in doing so. The HEP director said, "Every year we put anywhere from 15 to 20
Graduate Attends Writers' Session Carl Estrada, an
August MA graduate In English here, attended the Squaw Valley Community of Writers for their week-long session in JuJy at the Squaw ValJey winter resort areas near Lake Tahoe, Ca1if.
The session provided both experienced and beginning writers with opportunities to make con-tacts with agents and editors in an atmosphere of critical discussions of each other's works.
Estrada was able to meet. and obtain lengthy critiques from several well-known editors and • .. riter!- lndudlng Cyra Mcfadden, author of the best-seller "The Serial," and Frances Atzgerald,
winner of the 1973 Pulltzler Prize and the National Book Award for "Are In the Lake."
Applicants to the Community are admitted solely on the merits of manuscripts submitted. Estrada's portfolio included two short stories: "Mirror Parable,'' a tale about a 5-year-old girl whose mother is a prostitute, and "Return Visit to Union Cemetery," a taJe
about Estrada's own quest for a particular Civil War tombstone from the Battle of Westport.
The new school year finds Estrada teaching three classes for the Department of English and also doing some tutoring for CAMP.
into Pan Am ." She went on to say that 10 to 15 of their participants enroll into Texas State Technical Institute.
Although they are not enrolled in the U11iY.erslty as students, HEP participants do becom~ involved in regular student activities such as the Carnival of the Great Pumpkin, according to Cantu .
Since the process of obtaining the GED Is an "open-ended individual program" In which the student progresses at his own speed.
Davenport is a 1966 graduate of Tulane University with a BA degree in Accounting.
He was graduated from Loyola University In New Orleans with a MBA degree in management and a minor in marketing .
Davenport has also had additional training with IBM; he has taken a number of courses offered by that organization.
He received the Regional Manager Award from IBM, as well as other service awards from IBM.
He taught part-time at Austin Community College and at Loyola University In New Orleans.
Davenport will be at PAU until next summer He is In his office (located in the BA building) daily and welcomes all students who have questions about the business world.

Austin, and she wishes to work In the medical field or as a social worker . ''The financial aid that students receive gives them the break they need to get out of the Valley ," says Mendoza . . Mendoza's friend, Emmy Salazar, also receives
fmanclal aid . Emmy is another example of a student who would not be able to go tocollegewithout financial aid. Her father has died, and she does not feel she could hold down a full-time job and still pull good grades in college. "I have enough trouble tryIng to work just part-time and go to college at the same time," says Salazar.
Both Suzie nd Emmy are receiving grants, not loans. However, there are many students who are receiving both grants and loans .
In order to receive a grants or loan, you must first go to PAU's fin_a~cial aid office at the University student center budding, room 108. The pace is hectic in the financial aid office, and it is usually pretty ~owded, for there are many students who are anxious to receive financial aid . There might be a little wait before someone helps you to fill out an application , but if you are a student who is truly in need of financial aid, the wait will be nothing compared to a $1,000 or $1,500 grant or loan .
Although It Is really not too difficult to receive financial aid here , a student should not be deceived into thinking it Is a snap; there are some requirements that have to be met.
In order to be eligible a student must prove his financial need . This means he must discuss his and his family's income. If a student does indeed show that he has to have this money to go to college, he pretty much has It made.
In order to be eligible for financial aid. each student must be evaluated for financial need . Pan Am's evaluatJ.on Is based on the principle that a student has the responsibility for education costs; therefore his income (and spouse's, if married),
and other assets are considered when determining need.
How much the student is expected to contribute toward his educational costs will vary depending upon marital status and school classification. Worki~g during vacation periods, summer jobs and parttime work all can be considered as part of the student's contribution toward his education. according to Sylvia Lujan, financial aid director at PAU.
Parents of dependent students are expected to contribute to their children's educational costs also. The same guidelines determining need and amount of aid for independent and married students also are used here.

Henry Mayo is the first Mayo passed the re-person to earn Pan quired courses In American University's Kinesology , Care new certification for Prevention of Athletic In-Athletic Specialization. juries, Physilol{V of Exer-

He was gram began this summer also required to pass four and Mayo qualified for It courses on the theories of almost immediately while coaching football, in-complellng his master's dividual sports, baseball, degree in education and basketball, track and field physical education . and volley!>all.
'There is no certification for athletic coaching by Texas Education Agency .. . . . our program is designed to fill the need for qualified coaches." "There is no certifica-
tion for athletic coaching by Texas Education Agency,'' said Dr. Darrel Black, the coordinator and administrator of the program and head of PAU's Health, Physical Education and Recreation, "Our program is deslgned to fill the need for qualified coaches."
To fulfill the requirements for the coaching certificate,
Mayo also served this spring as graduate assistant coach to head baseball coach Al Olgetree , but this was not part of the certification
program. The Athletic Coaching
Specialization certificate has been approved by all levels of the university's administration an is now
pa.rt of the curriculum. Until the new program
was developed, said Dr. Black, the program for physical education majors had been such that they were getting only two coaching courses as electives. "But with the tremendous increase in coaching jobs," he continued, ''we've probably got 10 jobs...!!ght now that we cari"t fill.
"There are obviously just so many physical education jobs ln any school;· Dr. Black added, "Today there are more coaching opportunities all the time due to the new teams created for girls and women under TitJe 9."
Students who are here do not need to have a major or minor In physical education to complete this program_ Majors from all other areas are encouraged to take some coaching courses, said Dr. Black.
White Names McDowell Assistant Basketball Coach
John McDowell, an unsung hero when he played for two of Pan American University's greatest basketball teams, has Joined the Bronc athletic department as an assistant basketball coach and head coach of the women's basketball team.
McDowell, 25, earned his Master's Degree in Counseling and Guidance from the PAU School of Education this summer.
Bronc fans remember McDowell as a steady, little-publicized 6-foot-5 forward when he helped Pan Am win 22 basketball games ln 1975 and 20 more in 1976.
Although he averaged 12.2 rebounds as a senior to rank among the NCAA's top 20 rebounders nationally, McDowell was overshadowed by some spectacular teammates . Marshall Rage.rs led the NCAA In scoring, Jesus (Chuy) Guerra topped the nation in assists, and Gilbert King grabbed even more rebounds than McDowell did.
However, the team's coach, Abe Lemons, gave Mc.Dowell as much credit as anybody for compiling records of 22-2 and 20_-5.

lemons paid ''Mac" a rare compliment when he said, "McDowell plays just as hard at 3 p .m Monday as he does at 8 p .m. Saturday." Lemons liked McDowell, not only because he worked so hard in practice, but because McDowell ran five miles a day during September and October to report in firstclass shape.
After his graduation from PAU with a 8.5. degree in Physical Education in 1977, McDowell has worked on his Master's as a graduate assistant the past two years . He coached the Lady Broncs basketball team last season, winning his first four games as a college coach .

Coach BilJ White, PAU athletic director, announced McDowell's appointm en t. White originally recruited McDowell to Pan Am when the 6-5 forward was earning an Associate Arts degree at Temple Junior College In general business.
Asked what his best memories were during those two super seasons he played for Pan Am, Mc:DoweJl said, '11 guess lt would have to be beating Hawaii, over three ... and in Beaumont, the first time my family saw me play-they had a family reunion there and we beat Lamar."

DRNELINE What's colorless, odorless, hangs around cars and is a silent killer? Carbon monoxide, that's what, and it causes about one-half of all the fatal poisonings in the U.S. Never warm up your car in a dosed garage. And it's a good idea to always keep a window cracked, even in cold weather, while driving. An exhaust system that isn't working right can allow fumes to leak into your car's passenger compartment. Have your exhaust system checked regularly , The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are dizziness and headache. You become drowsy, then pass out. The antidote is plain aid fresh air

The original proposal was sub• mitted to Or. De Lo Santos, Dean of Students, in early August, according to Ralph Magana, Student Government Attorney General
A five-member Car Pool-Task Force committee was formed to review the proposal which was then channeled to VicePresident of Student Affairs, Dr. Miguel Nevarez.
The committee, composed of PAU Traffic and Security Chief Gregorio Salazar, Professor Bill Platzer. Ontiveros, Magana and Student Activities Coordinator, Debbie Thomas, agreed the plan would encourage l - J students to save money and conserve eneTgy.

Courtney, I have to commend you on corning

However. I have always been brought up lo believe
that If you ever doubted anything, if ever there was
a question In your mind, the best thing to always do
was to as.k the person who knew the answers . And if you don't ask, the loss wlll be yours!
So, hurrah {or asking! And just to let you know
how accessible this infor• mation was . I've made a hike over to the deans office to collect all this good information for you. ll feel I just made use of my $3 to give vou vour $3 worth of information
According to Dr. Gilber• to de los Santos, dean of students, you'reright! The $27 of student service fees is noted down in the new catalogue. However , also included in this catalogue in the copyright page was

reserves the right to change any information including statement of fees, course offerings, etc. in keeping with policies of the
Board of Regents and ln conformlty with the laws of the State of Texas." So that is exactly where the extra $3 amounted ~om.
And about the $3, only students who are taking 10 class hours or more are paying for this eKtta fee.
Now briefing on Student Service Fees, monies are only used to provide extra curriculum activities an extra services. (There are other budgets as the one for the entire University whlch 1s $167,23782) .
And merely from these $3. a student has access to services such as financial a1dl. which provides jobs to students who are In need to them. Already financial aid has assisted 74 percent of the students here in the job market .

Also students here get a yearbook ror roughly $9 a piece compared to the $11 elsewhere.
And of course students have options to use these andmany other services lf they wish .
During the summer, SSF are not use to its entirity . Why? "Because there really hasn't been a large demand for them," said Dr de los Santos. But if there was if there was a large demand, the matter would have be considered in the budget.
So here I must end some of the information I've uncovered for you . Had I only wished for the next time you investigate the matter before implying questions. It might save you some

Campus Breaks Out In Hills? By Jean Ann Darnall
Are the grounds at Pan American University breaking out In hills? What are those funny looking mounds of dirt scattered aroud the front of the campus?
These seem to be the most frequently asked questions on campus these days.
WeU don't worry , the mounds of dirt are called berms, and they are there for a reason. The berms function is to fill in low areas around the front of the campus along University Drive. according to L~e
Sanders, Clerk of the works for PAU.
Drainage problems of the past al PAU will be greatly relieved with the help of the berms. The low areas used to have standing water after heavy rains . The berms will cause the water to run into PAU's drainage system, or the drainage system along University Drive.
A bonus function of the berms will be beautification . They are presently being planted with squares of carpet grass . This grass is being brought to the campus from Donna by truck. At some time in the
future , live oak trees, evergreen daylilies and Japanese honeysuckle wiU bed planted on the berms.
The berm project will cost a total of $163,615. This money is coming from Campus Development ad valorem tax budget, according to Dr Homer Pena, Vice President for Business Affairs . Funds from this budget are distributed to universities for campus devlopment.
According to Sanders, PAU Is utilizing the existing drainage system, improving drainage an adding to the beauty of the campus grounds.
Forensic Group Grows ·into Co01petitive Unit
Over the past -five years the Pan American University Forensics Program has grown into a respected and competitive unit to be reckoned with In the state of Texas. One of its major weaknesses, however, a solid debate squad which is a key factor in most major forensics programs.
Pan Am's Argumentation and Debate Instructor and former Director of Forensics, offer his expertise as an assistant coach of this promising team. Mclemore Is returning from a two-year leave of absence while working on his doctorate at the University of Pittsburgh.
Rieke has stepped up Interest in the Pan Am foren-
sics program, both on the competitive circuit and off. He Is the new chairman of the South Texas Intercollegiate Forensics Assn. as well as a committee member of the American Forensics Assn . National Individual Events Tournament Five-state District III Committee. "We have a busy year ahead of us," Rieke concluded ,

Neal Rieke, director of forensics, said this weakness will be corrected this year. "Pan Am wiU field potentially the strongest debate team of Its history and we should be headed for the best season yet."
To make this all possl• ble, Rieke proudly signed Larry Watts, a Texas A&J University transfer student, to the PAU forensics squad. Watts, a Kingsv!lle speech communication and sociology Junior and former Marine, was Texas A&l's debate star last year, ending these season for them as the No . 1 Debater In Pi Kappa Delta--tbe national honorary forensics fraternity. Watts and his former partner at A&I went undefeated in all eight rounds at the national convention and forensics tou1-nament held at St. Louis, Mo.

The bridge program will be funded on a pilot basis with unexpended funds from the fiscal year 1979-80 and If successful It will be funded on a yearly
basis by the United States Department of Labor, according lo Or , Lucas Hlno• josa. CAMP director
This program is designed to provide educational opportunities for active migrants who desire to pursue higher education and have met all HEP requirements for graduation.
The bridge program will provide application, financial assistance, scheduling, tutoring, counseling
career and academic orientation, basic study skills, reading lab experiences, English, Math , and followup.
Hino1osa. said, "The program Is still in the early rough draft stages, bul we have received verbal approval and by Oct 15 propose to ldentlf y, enroll and assist 10 migrant and/or seasonal farmworker students in the bridge program .
Construction Makes Room "When we get through
with it, we'U have more room for the students," commented Dr. Homer Pena, vice-president for business affairs. The "it" is the work which is being done on the snack bar.
The construction schedule had all been worked out In an orderly fashion so in the time between the second summer session and the fall semester, the minimal renovations on the cafeteria would have been completed. Also, it was planned that the ballroom would serve as the snack bar once the fall semester began. However, according to Dr Pena,
delays occurred in getting some of the materials, and the whole schedule was thrown off .
"We couldn't do it during the summer because we had students coming to school and living In the dorms,'' he explained.
Or. Pena said that there were no problems in moving the bookstore to the
new location so this was not one of the factors which delayed the construction schedule . "We didn't plan it but it happened," he commented_
The construction ls being done by Stotler Construction Company and is costing $379,700, which also Includes the cost of the equipment.
Deadline Set For Forms
Membership forms for all organizations new and old must beftJled out and turned In to UC 205 by Sept. 28, according to Debbie Thomas, coordinator. The forms may be picked up at the office.

The program is offered only during the fall and spring semesters. The time required In the program Is 16 weeks as a part-time student and
eight weeks as a full student teacher. During their stint as teachers , the students are evaluated from time by a member of the faculty . This helps the student to correct the areas in which he or she
is lacking.

On Sept . 18, the Veterans Organization at Pan American University had it's first meeting of the 1979-80 school year. The purpose of this meeting was to elect new officers, but the election has been postponed until Oct. 2 . The reason for the postponement was due to the large number of veterans that attended the meett ng. "three." That's right! Out of 900 veterans attending PAU, only three showed any interest in the organiza-

. tional meeting.
To The Editor: l appreciate your im
mediate response to my last letter . Surely the student body was also waiting for a response. I was, however, wrong, Asked if I'd gotten feedback, I surmised that my letter would go unacknowledged.
Leticia, you certainly acknowledged my letter . I am disappointed, though, that of more than 1/2 a dozen questions, not one was answered directly . You did say I'm right-and took no issue with any of my comments . But you provided "information" I already had , raising several new questions in the 1>ro--
cess. I'll avoid clouding the
issue with those, but since I didn't dearly state my questions initially, allow me to restate a few of the basic ones:
1. ls there any Input &om the shldent body at large to the Student Service Fee budget?
2. Who says students want "Public fnforrnation," or any Student Services?
3. On the other hand , who says students don't want twice as many ser• vices-for twice the price?
Your suggestion that J ". . . . Investigate the matter before implying questions," arouses mi-xed feel-
ings . Look at my last letter , Leticia. The ratio of information to questions is about 5: I. I Investigated the matter and asked questions. Until they're answered-no implications necessary.
Yours for a RESPON• SNE Campus, Courtney D . Wood .
P . S. Given the power, it may be that neither I nor any student or group would change the Student Service budget by one nickle. I'm NOT advocating a budget change . Some decision-making input would be nice , though .
Three people is a smaJI percentage of 900, but, It is a sign that someone still cares. As for the absent 897, there are a few that care and were not able to attend . There are a few that care and were not aware of the meeting; however, there are those that just DO NOT GIVE A DAMN. lf we had publicized that there would be beer and food at the meeting, those veterans that don't give a damn would have been crawling out the woodwork. You know who you are. To be frank, there will be NO BEER. there will be NO FOOD, there will be NO SHORT TERM LOANS available from the club, and there will be NO EXTRA $1,000 in Educational

escapism. It's a cheap high where you can forget for awhile. But why escape on campus? Surely grades will suffer.
Certainly there are those who can handle both but what of those
who can't? I know people who can't stop at two or three beers. Perhaps they have no place on campus
if they can't keep control. But If students are going to be sure they don't show up In class "feeling good" then why Is it necessary to have drinks at all? Why the temptation? Why can't they wait tiJI classes are over to step across the street? That's the time to relax and let go - not in the classroom.

Speech Instructor Is Co-Editor Of Journal
George Mclemore, speech communiciltion Instructor, is a co-editor of the only intra-departmental journal In the field of rhetorical communication , "Workirlg Papers in Rhetoric and Communication" is published by professors and graduate students of the Department of Speech and Theatre Arts of the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania .
ln the first issue of "Worklng P~pers." Mclemore published an article entitled "Social Construc-
tion. Reliaion and Reality maintenance ." Other ar· tides include "The Historicity of Christ from First and Second Century Non-
Christian Sources," "'Truman and the Cold War in Asia" and ''Free Press or
Fair Trial? Can a Clash Between First and Sixth Amendment Guarantees Be Avoided?"
Mclemore explained that the topics are those which the author has researched. The journal, he
commented, "is lntended to encourage and facilitate within that department's large rhetoric and com-
munication program a sharing of knowledge and research" by both graduate
students and professors. He added. "These topics deal with rhetoric and communication ."
"Working Papers" will be published three times a year and according to McLemore, "Plans are to soon solicit unpublished manuscripts thrc.ughout the dlscipline of speech communication in order :o widen both the appeal and th~ credibility of the jour-
nal." He added that ' 'Working Papers" will impose no copyright restric· tions so that the authors' works "may be later modified and submitted to larger and already established journals wrthin the discipline ."
Although he has been a member of the Pan American University faculty since 1972. Mclemore at-
tended the University of Pittsburgh for the last two years doing his doctoral work on rhetorical theory and cross-cultural com-
munlcation. While there , he and the other co-editors, Harvey R Levenson and C Barry McCarty decided to publish the )our• nal.
The first issue, Winter 1979. was funded by the Graduate Student Organization of the Rhetoric and Communication Division. Department o{ Speech and Theatre Arts. The latest edition , Summer 1979, • was financed by the department because of the depletion of the student organization's funds .
