As the hobby of the year, plants have appeared in abundance in offices and dorm windows. They add a sense of permanence to a temporary lifestyle. And the retailing business is blooming. Nurseries offer free plants to lure customers to buy their more exotic ones. Drag vendors add little clay pots with baby sprouts to their imports from Mexico. There is no end to the way a student can spend his extra cash -buying sprays and soils and food and books and atomizers and fertilizers . . . PARKING • The mad scramble for the week's parking begins early Monday morning, as University faculty, staff and students face the problems of finding a parking space. In frustration, many resort to yellow curbs or loading zones. After weeks of searching, the permit holder thinks he has discovered a lot known only to himself. But he soon finds it fenced off as the site of a new library. For those illegal parkers who ignore the pink tickets that gather on their windshields, the day comes when a bill arrives for $90 worth of traffic violations. These hazards are just some of the problems that occur when cars out-numbe r spaces . The combination of gas shortages and parking hassles are causing more commuters to ride shuttle buses or carpool to campus. (See TICKETS). POPCORN • A must for University survival is the ever-present graduation gift of the popcorn popper. The popper is multipurpose whether it be for popping corn or for heating a can of chili when dorm food can no longer be tolerated. (See AMUSEMENT). popcom-87 -....:-------~----~---~-........~....,.. .. . ,.. QUIET MINUTES• At a time of day when the sunlight sits on the trees, the leaves look like all the green lights you ever missed -beckoning you on and on to find a quiet place and stay awhile. The quiet creeps into your spirit and settles in your soul as the shadows gather all around and entice you to linger. The quiet minutes take over and for a little while in your corner of the campus, you are content -and all the hassles that are the University are forgotten. RED TAPE • From an objective point of view, the University of Texas seems an efficient package containing students, faculty and administrators. A student, however , is a subjective beast who loathes computer cards, registration forms, fee receipts and number 2 pencils. This package, which some administrators boast about and some students bitch about, is conveniently tied together with lots of red tape. This red tape is a bother but it seems to be the only way a campus with 40,000 students can function smoothly. (See HASSLES) RESEARCH • When the dinner dishes are finally cleared away, the student must face at last that pile of library books and stack of old Newsweeks, from which he must write a research paper. Research is one of the fundamental aspects separating a university from a college. Research, generally, is described in terms of cures for diseases or splitting atoms, although it is an essential part of any University student's curriculum, regardless of discipline. Who can forget those long hours spent ~newman over that first term paper, with trips to the library, indecipherable notecards and innumerable rough drafts. The prospect of compiling notes and rewrites into a presentable paper complete with footnotes and a bibliography has occasionally driven students to purchase pages of prepared "quality" research. For some students, research serves as just another obstacle to graduation, while for others it may be the beginning of a career. (See A.C.) ROACHES • 1) The most primitive of winged insects, roaches are everywhere. They're in apartments, dorms and water fountains. No matter what may be done to get rid of them , they always seem to come back. 2) The butt-end of a marijuana cigarette. Since joints don't come with filter tips, a clip is used so fingers won't get burned. (See GRASS) roaches-89 ~-.------~ --'"""'-_,____ -·---··...._-....~........ .;,._'._.........~ •, t-· . s. farrar 90-relaxation RELAXATION • Fountains turned off make no summer music, and the noise of other people continually increases. When classes never seem to end and assignments leave you farther and farther behind, it's time to get away and relax time to go to a place where you don't have to compete for your square yard of grass or your piece of the sky. Take to the lakes, look to the clouds, try almost anything to get away from the traffic of 40,000 people on 40 acres of land. p. calapa p. calapa relaxation -91 SPEAKERS • College campuses serve as a forum for speakers and lecturers, providing a youthful audience eager to listen. Politicans recognize this fact, and avidly seek the publicity from their campus appearances. Both students and speakers may profit from resulting cross-fire debates that stimulate new ideas in the best academic tradition. Stokley Carmichael David Halberstam 92 -speakers Rep. Sarah Weddington speakers -93 SENIOR • After four years of classes, the senior has usually mastered the art of maximizing learning while minimizing effort. After graduation, he often finds himself in a peculiar predicament. Lifed i rect i ng decisions that have been shrouded by the certainties of University life, must now be made concerning careers. Thoughts of the real world and independence, once childhood fantasies, •take on new and threatening proportions. Somewhere between a battery of tests and interviews for graduate school or a job, the senior finds at least a partial answer to his problems. As his new future begins to take shape, he can find relief from the thought of no more quizzes, deans or preregistration. SHUTTLE BUSES • The abbreviations of the names of University shuttle bus routes may easily confuse the uninitiated. Boarding the wrong bus may mean ending up in East Austin or West Avenue rather than West Lynn . Austin's network of shuttle bus routes, mastered by a daring group of drivers, converges upon the University campus. Because of an inefficient Austin mass transit system, the shuttles provide an economic and energy-saving alternative for students. SOPHOMORE • The freshman year is one of discovery, but a somewhat more confident sophomore returns to school and enters the first stage of decisionmaking which may affect the rest of his life. 94-senior The pressures of deciding what to do may produce what is commonly called "sophomore slump." The "slump" may evolve from visions of two more years of school or being alone with the decision of which sequence of courses will lead to the most satisfying life. Decision-making is a common problem facing students -perhaps felt hardest during the sophomore year. STAR TREK AND SOAP OPERAS • "Space . . . the final frontier" calls students from the carrels of the AC to the TV lounges of the Union to view yet another "Star Trek" rerun. Avid fans halt all activity (even the circulation of their " Bring Back Star Trek" petitions) as the Starship Enterprise is daily launched on its fiveyear outer space mission. They are matched in devotion only by those followers of daytime soap operas. Sacrificing lunch for "All My Children" and 2 p.m. classes for "General Hospital," they immerse themselves in fictional problems to escape their own . Soap opera fanatics ignore those who consider soaps a waste of time; they realize that " Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.'' STREAKING • February's prematurely warm wea~her was the starting cue for University streakers. The first few brave souls who darted down hallways snowballed into crowds gathering on malls for afternoon streaks . Encouraged by students' spring fever, streaks occured in unexpected places, such as classrooms and dorm lobbies. Group streaking , or at least watching , reached a climax when large crowds gathered between Jester and Moore-Hill Dorms for three consecutive nights in March to watch all forms and fashions of the streaking art. These streaks proved to be a photographer's delight, for both policemen and students . Crowds were entertained by tricks on bikes and various other high jinks. Spectator's enthusiasm was so great that University officials dispersed the crowds with mace and arrested several of the midnight streakers. Although Texas set no streaking records, the University's claim to fame in the annals of streaking was achieved as a would-be streaker almost destroyed the composure of CBS anchorman Walter Cronkite during a campus speech. Enthusiasm with the craze disappeared as rapidly as the warm weather. Upcoming midterms and the threat of arrest also contributed to the growing lack of interest. Perhaps the main reason for the streaking decline was boredom with the whole thing . After all, when you've seen one, you've seen 'em all. (See CRISIS). SUMMER SCHOOL • Many students think of summer school as easy living. After adjusting to the routine of morning classes every day, students branch out in search of afternoons in the sun, followed by quiet sunsets at Chappel Hill and evenings on the town. Classes are more relaxed in their requirements as teachers try to squeeze four months of knowledge into six weeks. It's a great time for catching up on re-runs and extra reading. summer school -95 . . . . ~ ----~~-A-.. .............., •.. ,.. JI llt• • .,- STUDENT SERVICES • On August 27, 1973, the University lost its legal duty of in loco parentis toward the student. However, meeting the physical and mental needs of the student remained an important function of the University. The responsibility of meeting these needs is delegated to the office of the Vice President for Student Affairs, which sponsors a variety of programs scattered throughout the campus appropriately titled ''student services.'' Whether it is psychological counseling, a $75 emergency loan, job placement or the location of some obscure campus building, students can usually find some assistance for their problems. But the prospect for coming years, without mandatory student funding for these projects, looks bleak. Crystal City high school students learn about the University through Project Info. 96 -Sludenl servoces TOWER • As a symbol of the University, the Tower is a reminder of college life, whether it is the orange glow of victory or the scene of too many tragic leaps. The Tower clock's face, dimly lit due to the energy crisis, remains one of the focal points of the campus. Even when the Tower itself is not visible, the chimes at each quarter hour tell the time. Since 1967, Thomas Anderson, director of foreign student admissions, has played ten minutes of Tower chime music at 12:50 p.m. In the short concert, Anderson elaborates on the day's mood or resorts to favorite tunes. Unlike so many computerized aspects of the University, human hands are responsible for the music. Thomas Anderson. tower-97 ~----=-~~ ~=~-~-· -----~~. ....,, .., .lte •• .... .... . ,.,. . .. . TAPPING • A sudden hush falls over the noisy dining room as costumed groups search for the select few. A gentle tap on a surprised shoulder, a rose or a handshake greet the newest member. TELEPHONES • Despite rising utility rates, no shortages of phones seemed to develop in the University community. The "travel by long distance" song enticed students to make calls that proved devastating to their checkbooks. Private dorms initiated a new system of plug-in phones in conjunction with Southwestern Bell. Students could pick up and install their own phones after paying a $3 deposit. Apartment and house dwellers still had to rely on getting their phones installed at the company's con venience . Days often mounted into 98-tapptng weeks before students received their phones. Despite the costs and occasional lack of services, Ma Bell seems indispensable to most University students. T.G.1.F. • Thank God It's Friday and time to bury the books. It's time to celebrate the end of another week and announce the arrival of a hell-raising week-end. Friday marks the beginning and the end of many things. For many it's the end of a five-day work week and the start of a three-day party. It's the end of days of classes and the beginning of days of leisure. Friday is a time to forget that Monday is ultimately just around the corner. (See WEEK-ENDS). TICKETS • "A paper slip or card indicating that the holder has paid for or is entitled to a specific service. " All forms and fashions of the above definition are essential in order to attend any University function. Everything from placement tests to athletic and cultural events require some form of ticket. Like everything else at the University, tickets are always drawn by standing in a long line. Of course, a blanket tax is a ticket in itself. It enables a student to attend home football games and most University-spon sored events free of charge. Students who park on campus are familiar with other kinds of tickets. That pink slip tucked neatly behind a windshield wiper is the price many students pay the University for borrowing a loading zone or an "A" parking slot. TRANSPORTATION • The frustration of waiting endlessly for the arrival of a packed shuttle bus is equaled only to circling a 'C' lot for a vacant parking space. A bicycle may seem best for getting from place to place, though empty bike racks become harder to find as the number of bicycles multiplies. Walking remains the most common way to get from class to class, though a student may suffer occasional bruises from falls and collisions. Busy moments between cla~ses bring congestion and confusion, heated words and apologies, as students employ all modes of transportation in their rush to get from place to place. s tarrar transportaloon -99 --___ -----___..-.c __ --•ot•'J"• ~i. .. ·~·" ·• ("' 1 UMBRELLAS • It's a belief that only two things are needed to survive a year at the University -nerves of iron and an umbrella. Black tops mushroom along with the showers and become a bumping sea of clumsiness. They turn and mock you by mid-afternoon as the sun comes out and the morning's protection becomes the afternoon's burden. Naturally, you can never beat the odds. Leaving your umbrella behind in a cloudheavy day is an open invitation for thunderstorms and lightening. UFOS • Long a subject of controversy, UFOs recently became news again after reports from across the country claimed everything from landings to abductions. Texans in various cities reported spider crafts, flying " astrodomes" and silent pancakes. In the hills outside Austin the Association for the Understanding of Man instituted a project called " Project Starlight International " for the purpose of attracting and studying UFOs. Reports of UFOs were termed by various news figures as "crazy," flights of fancy, mis-perceptions of physical phenomena and downright lies. One suggested cause of the increase in sightings was that they were a result of " a need by Americans for diversion from scandals at home and wars abroad. '' In spite of the unreliable sources of much information, man continues to be intrigued with the idea of " little green men" from outer space and will probably continue to gaze at the stars. UNION •Providing a stopping place between classes, the Union is the "something-for-everyone" spot on campus. A free phone, a homemade muffin and stimulating conversation make the Union the campus "living room." m taylor 100-umbrellas Inter-Service Council volunteers beautify the Waller Creek area. VENDING MACHINES • The frustrations of poor selection and faulty equipment associated with a finicky vending machine may be enough to drive a student to four-letter words or violence to an inanimate object. His anger may be diminished by the promptness with which Campus Services, Inc., returns the quarter consumed by their machine. VOLUNTEERS • The idealism of many colleg·e students may be fulfilled in part by volunteer work. By giving to others, a student may help change the world, or at least make it a nicer place to live. volunteers -101 -· ~--___ ~--~---~..........__ ~'Tl"• LI• 'I ... , '" 1'" WEATHER • After an uneventful winter, disappointed coeds returned their new winter coats to the moth balls after only one or two outings. With the nation's low energy stockpiles, perhaps the undramatic winter was a lucky break. With the early reinstatement of Daylight Savings Time in January, students often left home in the dark concerning the day's weather conditions. February's record high temperatures encouraged early tans and streakers. Spring Break and the coast were highlighted by summer-like weather all over Texas. WEEKENDS • Weekends usually start on Friday afternoons and last until Sunday evening , though for some students the semester is an eternal weekend. These weekly holidays are times to celebrate, hours to catch up on the studies, opportunities to travel or chances for the inevitable three-day drunk. Whether the activities are planned or impromptu , the weekend is a two-day respite from classes. Weekends are what weeks are for. c. j sommons 102-weather XENOPHOBIA • The word can be roughly defined as a fear of strange or unfamiliar people and/or places. It seems to be a relatively widespread affliction at the University and may be most evident among freshmen and transfer students. The size of the school and the bewildering diversity of people and lifestyles contribute heavily to the perpetration of a mild form of this phobia. XEROX ~ copier • It is hard to imagine how students ever survived before the invention of copy machines. For only a nickel or two, students are able to have copies made of notes, papers, transcripts or even fee receipts . ... xenophobia -103 FEATURES CONCLUSION • The story behind 197 4 for 40,000 University students is not simple enough to tell in twenty or thirty events. The uniqueness of the year is that every student has lived his own story. Thus, the focus of this year's features section has not been so much on the "events" but on the concepts behind the events. It is an encyclopedic reference, a maze of words and pictures that the reader can assimilate and color as his own features. l 06 -conclusion • 3 (I) edited by bill scott • (Q ~ ,... an eocr· ll'JdS aoo ~a:e llmellght-107 ~ ---=--~-~------~--~,.~-· ~'!~fl';_,!;_'' ...,.,W. 1t...

'"'•!t·• -U• •r~· ••• -' ff• student government sandykress president cappy mcgarr vice-president This year our primary effort has been to get Student Government on its feet as a strong advocate of student interests both in the University and in the Austin community. Our major challenge this term has been to shape Student Government so that we could do more than take sides on the vital issues. By broadening student participation, we sought to place an effective student stamp on every decision that had some critical bearing on the affairs that concerned students. Student Government offered many new, valuable student services. We brought about consideration of academic reforms and made progress on proposals concerning women's affairs and minority recruitment. We lobbied diligently for student interests in the City Council, State Legislature, and Congress. We worked to protect the environment, consumer interests and increased student input at every level of University decision-making. There is much that can be done to make this University and this community truly excellent. If we have by our work and by the organization that we have established made it easier to reach the lofty goals we share, I am content with our work. Yet, in every real sense. the task lies ahead. !~--,,- 122 -11udant Q0118fMl8nl I feel confident that in some small way I was able to effect a degree of change that would provide a permanent legacy for those who would follow in Student Government. The establishment of a University Day Care Center was certainly a step in the right direction. Even more significant, perhaps, was the student input on the West Mall construction controversy. It would seem that after too many years of campus unrest, students and administrators may once again work together in an atmosphere of reason and understanding. If we are able to leave behind us a small degree of tolerance and understanding I feel we have certainly accomplished more than others. As I began my campaign for office almost a year ago, my campaign literature clearly outlined my perspective of student government. "Student Government should, in essence, be a service organization that is a viable entity to each and every student. I will concern myself with the immediate University community, dealing primarily in services and problems which affect the average student as he walks the campus and moves about the Austin community." ... A year later, my concept of student government remains only partially intact. We did accomplish much: we should have accomplished more. administrative assistants larry rubenstein cathy brannon sandy shtof man financial director student government -1 23 • .-. ---~----~---~--·--.-._ "" •U ' .6 .. •J ••• •-' it'' • education Alan Micheal Beychock chairperson Loyce Lee Bates Barbara Kay Belcher Joseph Marvin Bloom Julie Anne Booty Donna Patsy Brockie Laura Marie Bufano Melinda Lou Cutchin David G.

Many were instrumental in helping establish much-needed student services. A foreign study referral center and a women's referral center were both opened in the Student Government offices, and Student Government Tours told students how and where they could get the most for their travel dollar. The committees also sponsored a series of seminars, conferences and investigations on topics including women's affairs, housing policies, minority affairs and athletics. Student Government also helped coordinate plans for a University day care center slated to open in September, 1974.

In the highest voter turnout since 1969, Frank Fleming defeated Lee Rohn for president and Bill Parrish defeated Bill Ware for the vice presidential position. A week later, however, the validity of the presidential election was in question while a battle raged in the Student Court over alleged campaign violations. Four days later, seven University students filed complaints with the Election Commission which included charges of administration interference in the election process. The major complaint was based on a written statement by CACTUS Editor Liz Daily which said that a Kinsolving head resident had offered her "guaranteed or assured" acceptance into the Lyndon Baines Johnson School of Public Affairs if Ms. Daily would suport Fleming . In a marathon nine-hour meeting, the five member Election Commission found Fleming innocent of all charges because of a lack of evidence. Although the commission found Ms. Daily's testimony "uncontroverted," it "acknowledged and condemned the involvement of some members of the administration .'' Two weeks later, the Student Court heard an appeal of the Election Commission decision and upheld that decision. They also issued a statement at that time reprimanding the University official responsible for the bribe. Fleming took office April 9, faced with the problems of re-establishing his credibility and getting on with the business of Student Government. record voter turnout for a contested election student government -129 Created four years ago, the Students' Attorney offers legal advice and legal representation for individual students and University groups. The office is funded totally through the student activity fee collected at registration. Of the 250 cases the attorneys handle each month, the majority concern consumer problems with the remainder primarily landlord-tenant disputes. Other problems include employee rights, taxation and insurance. Frank Ivy, a graduate of the University Law School, has been with the office since 1972. Additional funds allowed a second attorney, Ann Bower, to be added in 1973. Also a University Law School graduate, she has helped meet the increasing demands on the office. Her only problem, she said, was "time -not enough of it.'' students' attorney frank ivy ann bower 130-students' attorneys The number of students who sought University Ombudsman Jim Osborn's help with Universityrelated problems greatly increased this year. The Ombudsman, who attributed the increase to special publicity, spoke to orientation groups throughout the summer encouraging more students to use the office. Osborn, a law student who also holds a master's degree in public administration, characterized his office as a "student-administration hybrid," because he is both a student and an administrator. Therefore, he is in a position to see both sides of situations which ranged from University housing problems to tuition billing errors to questions of academic policy. Requirements for the office, Osborn emphasized, were that the person holding it be "evenhanded" and not take up "causes and crusades." Success, he believed, had come from winning many small battles. ombudsman jim osborn ombudsman-131 texas union board of directors 1 . Barnett A. Kress 2. David Mark Cordell chairman 3.

During the 1973-197 4 year, the Board focused on the Union 's immediate concerns and sought to develop a long-range plan for the future. Early in the year, the Board faced controversy when it voted to discontinue the Union's subscriptions to Time, Inc. publications to protest Time 's alleged destruction of the East Texas Big Thicket for making paper pulp. The proposal was rejected by University President Steve Spurr after reviewing the minutes of the Board meeting . The most pressing problem faced by the Board, however, was the financial problems encountered by the Union Dining Service. Extensive research showed that the Union is valued by members of the community but that major changes would be needed. Plans for changes in the food areas were incorporated in the long-range program. The Board considered the role of the Union and the development of a Texas Union system that would serve the entire University community. The long range program, approved by the Board of Regents in February, included five major proposals: (1) The renovation and remodeling of the present Union Building; (2) The construction of a Union East in the northeast section of campus; (3) The feasibility of a Union facility in the southeast portion of campus; ( 4) The provision of a lakeside/wilderness site; and (5) Clearance to serve alcholic beverages in the Texas Union. The Board of Regents at the same time approved a $6 million appropriation, half of which was for remodeling the present Union and the other half for construction of Union East. In June 1974, the Board voted to close the building for approximately 18-24 months, beginning in September, so that rennovation can begin. Administrative offices and student services including Student Government, the Ombudsman and Students' Attorney will be moved to the old RT-F Building on Speedway. The Union Board also approved several specific recommendations designed to further serve student needs. The creation of a copy center, the opening of a Union General Store, the relocation of the Main Information Desk and the provision of a "Forty Acres Room" for meetings and conferences were among the specific changes. Continuous concern with the Union's financial structure, space allocation, and support for a diverse program were regular agenda items. Union Director Shirley Bird Perry celebrated the opening of the Union General Store in January. texas union -133 texas union program council 8. David Mark Cordell Program Council Coordinator 9.

Changed in structure but not in direction, the Texas Union Program Council, composed of the chairpersons of all Union committees, planned a broad series of activities and events for 1973-7 4. With emphasis on the outdoors, the Recreation Committee sponsored rock climbs, trail rides, canoe trips, bike hikes and car rallies. The Cultural Entertainment Committee brought quality entertainment to Austin including mime Marcel Marceau, the American Ballet Repertory Company, the rock band War and the Jacques Loussier Trio. The Musical Events Committee sought local talent to perform both in the West Side Second Story Coffeehouse and at weekly patio dinners. The two committees also co-sponsored songwriter John Prine in October. Cabaret, Up the Sandbox and The Last Picture Show highlighted the Arts and Theatre Committee's Weekend Film Series. The group also began a series of Thursday night "classics" and continued the Saturday Morning Fun Club. They also selected exhibits for the Texas Union Gallery. John Kenneth Galbraith, David Halberstam and Tennessee Williams were among the speakers presented by the Ideas and Issues Committee. The group also sponsored a number of sandwich seminars, with topics ranging from minority recruitment to obscenity laws. The Communications Committee tried to increase campus input to the Program Council and acted as a publicity and public relations channel for the programming area of the Union. The Mexican-American Culture Committee presented progra,ms dealing with all aspects of chicane culture. Included were the Mexican poet Alurista and the Ballet Folklorico de San Antonio. Maintaining the Texas Cultures Room as well as attempting to increase awareness of black students on campus were two functions of the AfroAmerican Culture Committee. The group also presented Stokley Carmichael in October. Two new committees, the Building Use Advisory Committee and the Dining Service Advisory Committee, were created to increase student input into building operation and food service. The UT Interaction Committee sought to improve campus communication through a series of President's Programs and retreats with campus leaders and University administrators. The Academic Affairs Committee sponsored programs with an intellectual orientation including symposia on the roles of women in society and the uses and abuses of political power.

The 1 ,200 square foot quarters, which included enlarged work space for staffers, a section editors' workroom and private offices for the editor-in-chief, associate editor and supervisor, were finally completed in November, 1973, after more than three months of the inevitable construction delays. The 1974 book, expanded to 672 pages because of increased organizational sales, featured larger pictures displayed in a magazine format. The emphasis on design simplicity was carried further by the use of a smooth, rather than a textured, paper stock, and by a new custommixed ink (UT Warm Brown). The theme was taken from Henry R. Luce's 1936 prospectus for Life magazine: "To see life, to see the world . . . to see and to take pleasure in seeing . . . to see and be amazed."

Eakin, 1973-74 Daily Texan editor. 146 -lhe daily 1exan The excitement of new facilities was overshadpwed by a major confrontation between The Dally Texan and the University Board of Regents. The issu was whether a mandatory fee would continue t support The Texan. hetr March meeting, the Regents voted unanimously to reduce the student services fees which would ultimately undercut The Texan's financial base. The controversy continued into the summer. In September, the move from the Journalism Building to the Communication Complex two blocks away marked a substantial change for The Daily Texan not only in terms of new facilities, but in production and format as well. The switch to offset production and photocomposition allowed a cleaner, neater, more versatile Texan makeup to complement expanded news coverage. The new $125,000 offset press doubled The Texan's capacity to 32 pages and provided excellent four-color reproduction. Michael Eakin was elected editor in the spring, 1973, TSP elections. Steve Renfrow, selected by the TSP Board as summer and fall, 1973, managing editor, supervised the conversion from letterpress to offset production . John Yemma was appointed managing editor for spring, 1974. The Texan established a beat reporting system to cover the City Council, the University, the Constitutional Cor:wention and political affairs. The beat reporters provided in-depth and investigative stories on important issues and allowed expanded coverage of campus news. The Texan also subscribed to the wire services of United Press International to supplement its Associated Press national news coverage. Also this year, The Texan exercised a new right to endorse political candidates. Among those supported were progressive candidates in the May 4th Democratic Primary. The Texan was rated All-American by the Associated Collegiate Press, and, for the fourth straight year, won Sweepstakes of the Southwestern Journalism Congress. The Texan took four first place, four second place, and five third place awards in categories that included sports writing, feature writing and photography. the daily texan -1 H In less than two years of existence, Pearl has changed from an 18-page, nameless quarterfold insert, into a magazine with its own personality. This year, cases of Pearl beer were awarded to 25 lucky random Pearl readers, a photo contest garnered 150 entries and fairy tales were given their rightful campus-wide recognition. The concept of Bluebonnet Belles was laid to rest with Pearl's salute to the Bar Belles, five persons of exquisite "poise, appearance and campus awareness'' who just happen to be male. Two Hearst Competition entries were taken from the pages of Pearl, and the magazine was honored to have noted journalism educator DeWitt C. Reddick as its consultant. Pearl Magazine, the Texan's monthly supplement, also was named the best general readership campus magazine by the Southwest Journalism Congress for the second year in a row. tsp~ pearl magazine Barbara D.

Schweitzer, Sally Annette Jenkins, Darryl Glen Farrow 1•8 -pearl magazine tsp board of operating trustees iZine A year that began with the anticipation of a move into new quarters ended with an all-out attack on Texas Student Publications (TSP) by the University Board of Regents. Appropriately enough, on the Ides of March, in a bitter and emotion-filled meeting on Friday, March 15, the Regents voted 6-0 to cut off the mandatory funding of The Daily Texan and to reject several proposed changes in the TSP Handbook. The action, which put The Texan on an optional fee basis, culminated a three-year personal vendetta by Regent Frank Erwin to "get" The Texan . for its attacks on University administrators and policies. The Regents who, " don't fund anything we don't control," also turned down proposed handbook changes which would have moved the date of the Texan editor election to coincide with Student Government elections, allowed graduate students to serve as board members and changed the makeup of the board. The cutting of the $1.65 mandatory Texan fee, formerly paid by all students at registration, raised doubts as to the continued financial stability of the publisher of The Daily Texan, the CACTUS yearbook and Pearl magazine. Following a series of meetings in the spring with Systems officials, administrators and regents concerning possible negotiations on the decision, the board appointed a task force to study the possibility of taking legal action against the regents and the University System. The board approved funds to retain legal counsel for the proceedings, but as of July 1, 1974, no action had been taken. A fall move to larger offices was completed in November. The TSP Building houses general business and advertising offices as well as the editorial offices of The Daily Texan, Pearl magazine and the CACTUS yearbook. The building contains a 32-page offset press and increased darkroom space for TSP photographers. The board also made recommendations on issues ranging from the disputed Daily Texas editor election in February to the purchase of additional printing and folding equipment. Sarah Lee Armstrong H.

The Senior Cabinet discussed each council's activities and problems and tried to promote com munication between the groups. It also controlled the allotment of funds for each council's activities by budget approval power. To insure a stronger representation for council activities, two Cabinet members held voting powers on the University Council.

The council, which was composed of representatives from each engineering organization, published The Vector, a newsletter which provided information for the organizations within the council. The group also maintained the T-Room as a lounge for faculty and students. For the second year the council sponsored the Student Tutoring Program . This project was aimed at helping undergraduates who were having difficulty with engineering courses. In October the group held a student-faculty beer bust which gave students an opportunity to meet and discuss problems on an informal basis. To continue this interaction between instructors and students, the council scheduled a series of faculty firesides in February. Engineering Week, Feb. 18-22, highlighted council activities. Events included a banquet, the announcement of outstanding engineering students and faculty and Alec's Birthday Party.

The group, which initiated proposals and supported events benefiting the student academically, was subdivided into areas which included council coordination, continuing programs, special programs and teaching effectiveness. The council sponsored a Phantom Writers Project which provided promising writers and poets a chance to present their works in public and receive criticism or suggestions. A Bacchanalia picnic and fireside chats with professors gave students informal opportunities to become better acquainted. Other activities included a monthly newsletter, " the Brain Bowl" which encouraged academic " competition" between University students, and the selection of the outstanding Professor in the College of Humanities. The group also conducted ·a survey during spring registration to determine the problems that were encountered by students in the college. A literary magazine containing works by humanities' students was published in the spring. humanities council 1 . Shirley Ann Worcester 2. Jean Ann McCray 3. Deirdre Zoe Fotescu secretary-treasurer 4.

The group assisted in the improvement of academic standards through the investigation of problems in curriculum, teaching excellence and administration. To exchange ideas on academic issues, the council met with the Natural Science department chairmen. The members worked with the departments in the college to help set up pre-advising times and places during preregistration. Monthly newsletters informed students of degree requirement changes, new policies and lab updating problems. The council also tried to establish a procedure to record lectures. Council members were also voting members in the college faculty committees. The council represented the departments of biology, chemistry, geology, home economics, mathematics, microbiology and zoology. Representatives were selected by students at the end of spring for the following long term. natural sctences council -159 1 . Nancie Gail Irwin secretary 2. Lisa Jo Neidert 3. Anna Clare Buie 4.

Other projects of the council provided a forum for the exchange of ideas and opinions between students and faculty . By requesting course information from professors for registration, council members formed the Course Description Project, which helped prevent students from signing up for inappropriate classes. Council members advised undergraduates during preregistration periods, and sent congratulatory letters to students on the Dean 's list. Working under the statewide College Loyalty and Service Program (CLASP), members solicited contributions from alumni. These funds were distributed to each college council to help defray operating expenses.

Advisors were selected by residents of the respective dormitories. A spring "tapping " dinner in each residence hall highlighted the selection of advisors for the following year. To promote more effective leadership, UCA organized an "In-Service Awareness" program to discuss the problems facing all advisors. The group also sponsored a China and Silver Show in the fall to raise money for scholarships through the Dean of Students' Office. The Advisor Advocate, a UCA newsletter, kept members informed of current events around campus and in each residence hall.

The organizations featured are the products of the interests and imaginations of many different members. People join because they have a talent they want to develop. Organizations provide not only a good atmosphere for fellowship, but also a certain amount of prestige and recognition. Special interest organizations range from Chamber Singers to the Ski Club with projects as varied as their purposes. Projects range from selling a directory for 40,000 students, to reminiscing over a trip to Ozona, to marching before a national television audience at the Super Bowl game. These organizations reflect the nature of student interests and the University. The University is more than an " institution of higher learning with teaching and research facilities." It is a learning center where ideas, plans and knowledge are exchanged. The student environment is a kaleidoscope continually turning and mixing ideas and making new patterns and designs. The many interests of students, inside or outside of class, are an important part of this ever changing scene. imagination and interests 170 -special interest choral directors Morris Jay Beachy Stewart Jay Clark Robert Kearney Wheeler Walter C.
