The Apple Tree" has international cost
UVALDE— Two weeks seems short notice for preparing a lead role in a musical production, but Southwest Texas Junior College freshman Roger Martinez of Uvalde doesn’t mind.
Martinez will be playing Sanjar in Frank R. Stockton’s “The Lady or the Tiger,” which is the second act of SWTJC s upcoming musical, “The
accepted the role late after the original actor dropped out of the production. It is his first time to appear in a play; he says that he heard the play needed persons to play guards, and he “just sort of worked up from there”.
Each of the actors in the three part musical wil be playing more than one role. This demands ver-
satility from the group Director Richard Holcomb call an “international’’ cast, which includes a Japanese student, Hispanic students and Anglo students. “I always select the best actor for each part, regardless of racial or ethnic origin,” says Holcomb.
“The hardest part of the musical,” says Martinez,
“is singing by myself.” He says that it is easier if he can simply forget about the audience, as he learned to do when playing trumpet for the Uvalde High School band.
He says that he practices his songs in his car by singing along with a tape of the music that Music Director Nancy Holcomb prepared for him.

How was school today?
UVALDE—“How did you do in Seed Spitting 240, dear?”
“Fine, Mommy. I was the best in the whole school.”
Although this dialogue is probably fictitious, a casual visitor to the Southwest Texas Junior College campus at lunchtime last week might have had his doubts.
All week long, SWTJC enjoyed perhaps silly, but definitely fun activities as a part of the Heritage Week celebration. Most activities took place over the noon hour, and
participation was wholehearted. Several new champions surfaced as a result of tough competition.
Winners in jalapeno eating were: first, Jorge Lopez and second, Jerry Don Collier. In watermelon seed spitting, Donny Davis won first and Johnnie Hirst won second; in roping, Jeff Carroll took first while Gil Stoner placed second. For the egg toss, first place honors went to Teri Lu Bolin and Jerry Don Collier, and second place
was won by Jim Gates and Dwain Custer.
Men’s cow chip throwing champion was Donny Davis, with Will Elrod coming in second. In the frisbee golf tournament, Jerry Don Collier took first to Teri Lu Bolin’s second. The face-making contest resulted in Greg Rutledge’s first place and Johnnie Hirst’s second, while the ballon shaving competition brought first place honors to Julia Villanueva and second place honors to Jorge Lopez.
Championship bananaeaters Hugo Aguilar and Russell Dutson were faster than second place Sablón Remit and David Tellez, and Jorge Lopez’s King Dillo was faster than Tiodoro Cordova’s Green Hornet in the Armadillo races.
Best costume for students was won by Lora Garrison, and Joan Crider placed second; the best costume for faculty was Jan Willingham’s “barefoot and pregnant” outfit, with Minda Kone taking second. Cigar smoking

“The selection of which grants to apply for is made on the basis of which federal programs can be utilized most effi-cciently and effectively,” says Dean of Special Services Jerald Underwood. “Because SWTJC has an ‘open door’ admission policy, we must be equipped to deal with both extremes of academic achievement.”
