PHARMACY Pharmaci bid far ewe ; by TERESA WEIDLER Working as a liaison between faculty and students, the Pharmacy Council was a vehicle for faculty-student con- cerns and problems, said Mike Walker, Pharmacy Council president. The council also sponsored a farewell reception honoring Dr. Victor Yanchick, associate dean of the College of Phar- macy on Nov. 29, 1984. Yanchick ac- cepted an offer from the University of Oklahoma to become the dean of the College of Pharmacy. Around 150 students attended the reception as well as 30-40 ad- ministrators and staff members. Dr. Yanchick always worked close with the students and was highly respected as a faculty member, said Walker. Yanchick, a three-time winner of the Texas Ex-Students Award said in his farewell speech, of all the things I ' m going to miss when I leave, I ' m going to miss the students the most. Presenting a plaque to show the appreciation of the students, the faculty and the representative administrators, Dean James T. Doluisoi praises the career of Dr. Yanchick.

OUATE BUSINESS COUNCIL Ceremony caps council events by DEE DEE BROOKINS The main mission of the Graduate Business Council was to improve the quality of life for the students at the Graduate School of Business, said Claire Brown, president of the council. The council contained eleven different committees to achieve this mission in various ways. They had a social commit- tee to organize the social functions and developed a new alumni affairs commit- tee to improve alumni communications. The council also sponsored other ac- tivities such as the distinguished speaker series, and sponsored other recruits to come for informal brown bag lunches. The highlight of the year was perhaps the final graduation ceremonies. The council organized the final ceremonies for all graduate business students. For graduation, a graduate business student had to pass a 66 hour program that con- sisted of 30 hours of core classes and 30 hours of electives, and then prepare a professional report. The students faced a transition last year from the 66 hours to a 60 hour program for the new graduate students. Those graduate students who were caught in the middle settled for a compromise of only 63 hours. Representatives from the administration, the alumni and business companies, like IBM were part of the Distinguished Speakers Series. - Photo by Steue Schroeter At the Graduate Recognition presenta- tions, three outstanding awards were given from the Graduate Business Council: core professor Julia Ann Magaan; elective professor Ray Somerfeld and teaching assistant Chon Goh.

The seminar-style colloquium was held in the fall semester as a one-hour credit pass fail class open to 30 upper- division Plan II students. There was a whole range of topics discussed in- cluding issues from politics, to the arts and sciences. Students determined the topics in the planning phase last year. Speakers included University President Peter Flawn, Representative Wilhel- mina Delco and Harry Parker of the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts. All of the students really enjoyed the opportunity to talk to these people, said McClellan. He also said the speakers enjoyed the personal interac- tion with the students. The purpose of the Plan II Students ' Association was to enhance the educa- tional experience of the Plan II Honors students through a variety of programs, services, classes and other special op- portunities. We try to give Plan II all the advantages of a small liberal arts college with all of the resources of a ma- jor university, said McClellan. Other events sponsored by the association included a career contacts program between Plan II alumni and students, a seniors honors thesis sym- posium and a monthly newsletter.
