CABINET OF COLLEGE COUNCILS The third division consisted o ' two lun- cheons in which students were advised on conversation and manners when din- ing with a prospective employer. Overall, the fair attracted 2,000-3,000 students and was considered a suc- cess, said Sande Schrirer, coordinator of the fair. Other projects included selecting Who ' s Who nominees, promoting teacher excellence by presenting the Texas Excellence Awards, publicizing study abroad programs that attracted about seven different representatives from other colleges and circulated a let- ter to the Dean of Students to resist proposed plus-minus grading. To sponsor unity with the council they held a retreat at the beginning of the school year. Entering their 13th year on campus, the cabinet was pleased with its suc- cess in accomplishing our goals, said Good, and with being the official academic representatives of the student body. We ' re here to stay, said Coby Chase, council president.

CABINET OF COLLEGE COUNCILS Presidents join forces for fair by SUSAN NEIDERT The Cabinet of College Councils fused their unique talents into a dynamic, workable organization by coordinating a group of students with diverse skills and backgrounds. The cabinet, consisting of all college council presidents worked with a budget allotted through the Student Services Fee, averaging about 90c a student. Highlighting the year was the Cam- pus Career Fair ' 85, Feb. 11 and 12, which took place in the Texas Union Ballroom. The purpose of the fair was to bring in corporations that all students would be interested in, said Sheldon Good, cabinet secretary. The fair, which originated as a joint effort between the Career Center ' s START committee and the cabinet, brought in 51 corporations, such as Xerox, Joske ' s and Frito-Lay. The fair was divided into three parts. The first segment consisted of students mingling with corporate executives and collecting brochures at their displays. The representatives would also advise undecided underclassmen about their majors and give upperclassmen the chance to sign up for future interviews. The second division consisted of small seminars held by the represent- atives. They led question and answer sessions with 10-20 students pertaining to their organization.

ARCHITECTURE PLANNING STUDENT COUNCIL Separate facets combine in anniversary year by LAURA ROSSMAN The Architecture and Planning Coun- cil celebrated the 75th anniversary of the School of Architecture at the University. The spring semester ' s coun- cil combined three previous councils in- to one: the Architecture Graduate and Undergraduate Student Councils and the Community and Regional Planning Council. Co-chairman Pablo Sanchez said the new eight-member council really incorporated the three schools. The anniversary year was marked by three major events: a fall Goals Con- ference, a two-day symposium in the spring and Beaux-Arts Ball. The Goals Conference, held Oct. 26- 28, was sponsored by the council to ex- amine and report on the School of Ar- chitecture. The anniversary commis- sion, chaired by Boone Powell of San Antonio, compiled a report critiqueing the current status of the school and pro- grams as well as offering suggestions for improvement over the next 25 years. The final report was formally presented by Hal Box, dean of the School of Ar- chitecture, to Dr. Peter Flawn, presi- dent of the University, in April. Ah, Mediterranean! Twentieth Cen- tury Classicism in America, was a two- day symposium held April 11-12 in Hogg Auditorium. The symposium on mediterranean architecture offered three sessions over the two-day span en- titled Classicism and Free Classicism, Timeliness and Timelessness and Romance and Vision, and featured panel discussions following each of the sessions. Among the panel members was Dr. Charles Moore, holder of the first endowed faculty position created by the School of Architecture, the O ' Neil Ford Centennial Chair. The two-day sym- posium was followed on April 13 by the Beaux-Arts Ball. The ball, the result of the work of five committees, featured the music of seven bands. Sanchez said FIRST ROW: Cynthia Ann R.

Differentiating between the architec- ture and planning professions, Sanchez said, we ' re (the architects) all visual and they ' re (the planners) all numbers and facts. He was pleased that the new council would unify the school, and looked in the future towards an increase in student involvement in the happen- ings of the school, both curricular and extra-curricular.
