DAILY TEXAN and vice presidential candidate Gi-urge Bush ' s in Houston to get, first hand, the reaction of the candidates. Calling it the icing on the cake, Woodruff said 1984 was a great year for news including everything from a special legislative session in the summer of 1984 to the city council and student government elections in the spring. For 1983-1984 ' s publication, the Texan was awarded a Pacemaker award by the Associated Collegiate Press. Woodruff also said that while awards did not mean the Texan was vastly better than every other college daily in America . . . the Texan had consistently been one of the best college dailys in America.

DAILY TEXAN Texan covers race returns by LAURIE ROSENBOWER Any citizen can find out anything he needs to know about the election in The Daily Texan, said editor David Woodruff about the 1984 election results. In addition to keeping students in- formed about pertinent issues ranging from flights of the space shuttle to the assassination of India ' s Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, the Texan staff added the responsibility of reporting the 1984 presidential and state elections. We try to provide as complete coverage as any newspaper, Woodruff said, explaining that the Texan em- phasized results in student precincts and paid special attention to Proposi- tion 2, dealing with the appropriation of state funds to non-state universities. Under deadline pressure, reporters were assigned to several campaign head- quarters including state senatorial can- didate Phil Gramm ' s in College Station Associate managing editors, Lisa Brown Richau and Paul de la Garza discuss copy length for an inside page.

PEREGRINUS Law students switch image by BRIAN BENDER The more you do, the more you can do, said Lynn Rossi, Peregrinus editor. The four-member staff consisted of Rossi and three associate editors, who put together the 128-page yearbook. Besides going to Law School, the staff members held jobs and belonged to other organizations. There is a lot more to Law School than just going to class and studying, said Rossi. You have to learn how to budget your time. Because Law School classes have no tests other than final exams, Rossi said she was careful to plan deadlines so they would not conflict with finals. When asked why he joined the staff, Rhett Robinson said, If I didn ' t do this, I ' d probably have to study more. If we didn ' t participate in other ac- tivities, we would be bored to death, said associate editor Gaye Holden, Law students prob-ably have the cleanest bathrooms in town, explaining that the law students often go without extracurricular activities because they study all the time. The 1985 Peregrinus covered the traditional Law School events, such as the Fall Drunk, the Fajita Festival and the Sunflower Ceremony, along with the mock trials, dances and distinguished guest speakers like Myra McDaniel, Texas Secretary of State and D. Robert White, author of the Official Lawyers Handbook. The appointment of a new dean, Mark G. Yudof, was also an im- portant feature. In her goal to show that law students were real people and did other things besides go to class and study, Rossi add- ed more candid pictures to the book. Another distinguishing feature of Peregrinus was the bright red cover, which Rossi said would make the book stand out forever. Stephen Rhett Robinson, Lynn Ellen Rossi, Ann Davis Foster.
