Letters to the Prep News ...
STUCO Responds to Herbig's Criticism
Dear Mr. Herbig:
Thank you for your comments ofconcern involving the Wall
Flowers concert held Friday, October 8, 1993. Your letter has
been taken into consideration. You stated that the problem you
had with this event is you did not "see how STUCO benefits
financially from this concert" (PN vol. 58, issue 7, page 2). It
appears that you have a misunderstanding · of the reasoning
behind this event The main purpose of the free concen, as well
as the main purpose of the present student council, is not financial
benefits. Many student councils of the past have concentrated
solely on fmancial gain. Our purpose is not that STUCO's
purpose is to provide events and opportunities which promote
and, hopefully, increase school spirit and unity. That was the

thought behind the Wall Flowers concert, not "money-making
potential" (PN, page 2). Moreover, you raised the issue of
STUCO's treasury being the students' treasury . If STUCO
sponsors an event fmanced by the students, then why should
those same students have to pay admission for an event that,
technically, they have already provided the money for? We feel
students should be allowed to enjoy some events free of charge.
Certainly, support and money are necessary to make events
happen. Therefore, many student council events have some form
of admission, for example, the Back to School Mixer and the
upcoming Fall Ball scheduled for November 12 at the Adamssee EXPENDITURES, page 3

Don Artz, John Hoeman, Robert Hunter,
John and Mary Ann Hunzeker, David
Matter, Mike Muran, Michele Perrin,
Linda Sampson, and Joanie Shank.
Following introductions, Zinselmeyer then reviewed the purpose of the
committee and its procedures. The committee was formed, he said, to discuss
"issues related to student affairs" and help
the different groups "learn from each
other."
Themajorityofthemeetingwasspent
reviewing the items on last year's agenda.
One of the questions of last year was
whether to continue the Parent-Son Banquet as it has been since the '90-'91 school
year, or to return to the format of the
Father-Son Banquet as it was for years
before. Over the summer, the Mothers'
Club Board and Fathers' Club Board came
together and decided to change it back to
the Father-Son Banquet. The primary
reason for this decision was the "poor
attendance" of the p~t , three years.
Whether because of the extra cost that
comes with an extra family member or
simply because it ",t inkered ~ith tradition," attendance dropped from around
seven hundred each year with the FatherSon format to less than two hundred and
fifty as the Parent-Son. Also,atthisyear's
banquet, only the major awards-the Ed
Hawk, Mac Boland, Hinck-Hereford,and
Dunn-Martelawards-will be given out.
Another topic on the agenda of last
year' scommittee was the dress code. ''1bis
was the major topic of last year;• explained Zinselmeyer. The results of the
changes in the dress code, though "not
perfect" according to Zinselmeyer, were
described by senior Jim Wyrsch as "better." Wyrsch continued, "The changes
have made the general appearance of the
school look better." Junior Shane Landry
concurred, ''The atmosphere for learning
is better."
However, sophomore Francis Shen
disagreed. ''I would rather have no dress
code, but even with it, I
ftitd [legal}
ways around it. I'll probably wear Tshirts' over turtlenecks all year." Even
with an imperfect solution and disagree-
can
ment among members of the committee
and many SLUH students, no one requested the dress policy as one of the
agenda items for this year.
The final agenda topic from last year
to be reviewed was the decision to change
the freshman/sophomore mid-quarter
grade reports from the simple categories
"sa~sfactory/unsatisfactory" of the old
report to a ''report card of comments," in
which teachers can make specific remarks
aboutperfonnanceandbehavior. The main
complaint from parents of freshmen and
sophomores about the old report was the
inadequacy of the most common comment "Student is doing satisfactory work."
Many did not know what "satisfactory"
actually meant.
Agenda items suggested for this year
include the Fine Arts curriculum-an item
which has been debated over the past few
years, but left unchanged; the way in
which SLUH emphasizes or does not
emphasize its "Grad at Grad" ideal; a
summa· meeting for future freshmen
parents; racismatSLUH; five--day-a-week
theology classes; and the proposition of a
smoke-free campus.
Expenditures
,..-..
(continued from page 2)
Mark Hotel. This year, Fall J~all tickets are priced at $20 per
couple, as previously reported in the Prep News issue ofOctober
1,1993. As reported, this is$10 less than last year's Fall Ballan accomplishment of which we are proud. Please, do not think
that an event such as la8tFriday' s free concert for all students will
cause things such as dance prices to be more expensive.
Additionally, we·would like to provide you with an accurate
breakdown of the $200.00 expenditure of concern to you. LaSt
year at a STUCO sponsored event, SLUH's PA equipment was
severely damaged. Therefore, we felt "sufficient cause" (fN 2)
existed to justify renting PA equipment at a cost of $125.00 and
thereby safeguard the school's property. Note, $60.00 of this
money represents a security deposit and has been returned to the
STUCO treasury. $75.00 was paid to the four members of the
Wall Rowers for their performance time and set-up and breakdown time.
We understand that not everyone will agree with our decisions. There are many bands out there, some cheaper, many more
expensive. We stand by our judgment and choice. STUCO
viewed the Wall Flowers concert as an opportunity to create an
event for students to enjoy and foster school spirit. We feel that,
in itself, was "sufficient cause" (PN issue 58.07, page 2).
Finally, you stated "I justdon't like seeing the student body •s
money being used without sufficient cause or student approval"
(PN issue 58.07, page 2). If you would provide the administra·
tion with a workable plan for obtaining each student's approval
or disapproval for each expenditure made by each student club,
committee, council, team, group, and organization within the
SLUH community, we feel certain that they would consider your
proposal.
STUCO apologizes for any Jack ofunderstanding regarding
the reasoning behind the Wall Flowers concert. We hope we have
explained it to your satisfaction and appreciate your concern.
Sincerely,
1993·1994 STUCO

arrive in St. Louis to start their monthlong stay in America.
Arriving on Sunday, October 24,
the Russian students and teachers will
be staying with the SLUH members of
the exchange, who will then visit Russia
in March.
Twenty-one SLUH students will

The Russian students will panake
in a variety of activities while at SLUH.
For part of the school day, according to
Morris, "they will have some special
computer classes with Mr. Bob
Overkamp, and will join Mr. Joe
Schulte's acting classes." They will
also have special English classes taught
by Morris. For the remainder ofthe day,
the Russians will attend regular classes
with their host student.
Morris added that school is very

Last summer, while many were still
recovering from fmal exams, Mr. Paul
Azzara embarked on his almost annual
tour ofEurope, this time accompanied by
Mr. Terry MurrayandsixSLUHstudents.
The group left StLouis on June 7 for
Paris, France. While in Paris, the group
visited many historic sights, including the
Louvre Art and Sculpture Museum,
Napolean's Tomb, and the Eiffel Tower.
Mr.Murray was especially impressed with
the Palace ofVersailles, which lies twenty-.
five miles outside of Paris. The palace
contains the historic Hall ofMirrors, which
is where the treaty ending World War I
was signed.
After spending four days in Paris, the
group traveled by Eurail, the train system
connecting Western Europe, to Amsterdam, Holland. The travelers visited the
Anne Frank House. The tour revealed the
horrors of the Holocaust in a very personal manner. "It allowed me to comprehend the powerful hatred that existed at
that time," said one traveler. The SLUH
group also visited the Vincent Van Gogh
museum, a tribute to the native artist of
Amsterdam.
Several students commented on the
priority given to cyclists, who had the
right-of-way. On several occasions, students barely escaped being run over by
non-yielding cyclists, whorangtheirbells
as they sped by.
·
Their next stop was Munich, .Permany. The most popular attraction was
. the Hofbrauhaui, the epitome of German
culture. Inside, the students enjoyed
authentic German meals, while listening
to a traditional German polka band led by
a lively elderly conductress.
This festive atmosphere was contrasted by a trip to the Dachau concentration camp, which revealed the horrible
living quarters of the prisoners, the harsh
disciplinary methods used by the guards,
and the countless graves where the ashes
of victims were buried. After visiting the
camp itself, they toured a muse~ which
dents were unable to verbalize their feelings of sadness and despair for the innocent people who perished there.
The next stop was Engelberg, Switzerland, which is located in the mountains
near Zurich. The stop included a tour of
the local monastery, famous for the magniftcent woodwork created over a lifetime
by one monk. The students were also
treated to a four-star dinner prepared by
the owner of the Hotel Eden, where the
group stayed. "It was the best food I've
ever had in my life," commented Erick
Danzer, one of the travelers.
The trip continued onto Florence,
Italy, where the students saw illustrious
works of art including Michaelangelo's
David. Many students also took advantage of the market where they purchased
many fmely-tooled leather souvenirs.
Another attraction they visited was the.
Duomo, the cathedral of Florence.
Mr. Azzara then led the group to
Rome. In the Eternal City, the group
visited the Jesu, the Jesuit capital of the
world. Other attractions included the
Colosseum, Piazza Navana, Piazza di
Spanga, and the Basilica of Mary Major.
While in Rome, the students attended
a Papal Audience, visited the Vatica11;
Gardens and StPeter's Basilica.
· ··
Their ftnal destination was Nice,
France, on the Riviera. In Nice, the group
swam in the Mediterranean Sea, and tasted
tripe, the stomach lining of a cow. The
stay in Nice was complemented by a oneday trip to Monaco. There, they saw the
grave of Grace Kelly and the famous
casino of Monte Carlo.
The trip concluded by returning to
ParisontheTGV,abullettrainthatreaches
speeds over 150 miles per hour. From
Paris, the group returned to St. Louis,
leaving Mr. Azzara behind to show an
adult group the features of Europe. These

commented on Mr. Azzara's "knowlege
and ability in creating a fun environment
for learning."

Foothills Pommel Chaminade Flyers 43-0
by Jim Wyrscb
Prep News Sports Reporter
The frrst taste of the Metro Catholic
Conference play for the Gridbills this
season was sweet as they earned their frrst
conference victory of the year against the
ChaminadeFlyers. SLUH' s defense held
the acclaimed Flyer offense to less than
one hundred yards to gamer the ftrst Jr.
Bill shutout of the season.
The Flyers received the ball first and
began the game by offering the SLUH
defense aggravation for the opening minutes. Chaminade recovered from an early
loss of yardage, resulting from a sack on
the ftrst play, to move the ball forty-one
yards. But the SLUH defense regrouped
to stop a fourth down pass play, ending the
drive. The offense had to settle for the ball
on downs deep in its own territory. After
the frrst series netted no points for the Jr.
Bills, SLUH was forced to send punter
Jay Galli (2 punts, 74 yards) out to return

three quick plays, Chaminade brought in

went over his head, and he was tackled in
the end zone for a safety.
With a 2-0 lead, the offense went
back to work. Junior quarterback John
McAnhur's pass to junior Jason Williams
advanced the ball to the two yard line, but
the Jr. Bills were unable to score by the
fourth down.
After switching sides at the end ofthe
quarter, the Chaminade running back
fumbled the ball in the end zone, and
senior Eric Simon recovered it to score the
game's first touchdown. An attempt for a
two-point conversion failed. but SLUH
still held an 8-0 lead.

The semiimal game against the St

an errant option pitch into a crowd of
SLUR defenders. With the game back in
the control ofthe Jr. Bills, the offense took
over and scored on three successive possessions. McArthur's nineteen yard pass
to a wide open junior Dave Ries gave the
offense their frrst touchdown of the game
and made the score. IS-O.
The F1yers were forced to reach into
their trick play bag during the next series,
but two plays netted a negative gain and
they were again forced to punt. Only two
and a half minutes after the first touchdown, McArthur went over the top of a
Flyer defender for twenty-seven yards
and senior Ryan Watson made a spectacular catch to increase the lead to 22-0.
SLUR's "hurry-up" offense was in
full effect on the next drive. With time
winding down, McArthur settled back to
pick away at the secondary and put the
ball in the end zone after a 1-yard run.
After only four minutes, Chaminade
suddenly found themselves in a twentynine point hole which would prove insurmou'ntable. Senior Chris Doll said about
SLUR's success, "We weren't sure what
to expect from the Flyers. They did have

two conference victories under their belt,
so we were surprised we started off so
well."
Both teams quieted down in the second half. Chaminade had little success
moving the ball, gaining only sixty-two
yards during the entire half. SLUH's offense played well but could not put "the
biscuit in the basket" until the fowth
quarter. Impressive runs by junior Kelly
Taylor and Williams highlighted a late
drive to increase the lead to 36 points over
the hapless Flyers.
On the ensuing Chaminade possession, the Flyers started well, going 25
yards on three plays. On the next play, a
stunned SLUH safety,junior Jack Terry,
found himself with a fumbled ball in his
hands, so he ran it back .for a forty-one
yard touchdown. "I thought the play was
dead, but some yelled 'Go!' so Iran," said
a bemused Terry. Senior kicker .Adam
Meyer's fifth extra-point of the game
finalized the score at43.0.

trophy. East St. Louis Lincoln, Parkway
South, and Northwest House Springs
placed third to fifth with 143, 145, and
147 points respectively.
The junior varsity had an equally
successful and competitive race as they
claimed another ftrst place trophy.
Sophomore Joel Brown and senior
John Barrett finished nearly simultaneously at 18;11, with Brown nicking Barrett for fifth place. Senior Chris Jones
(18:21),juniorMattSchuckmann(l8!26),

Weller (18:57), and senior Tim Rooney
(18:59) were SLUWs next five finishers
as they placed ninth, tenth, eleventh,
twenty-third, and twenty-fifth.
Even with a strong performance, the
junior varsity nearly fell to a surprising
East St Louis squad. East St. Louis had
the two strongest runners and fmished
with forty-nine points, but SLUH' s depth ·
came through, leaving the Harriers the
victors by only eight points.
In the final race of the day, SLUH' s

well. Joe Donnelly (18:27), Ben Penson
