RS ACADEMIA BOWS = FOR STUDENTS, FACULTY AND SCHOLARLY DEEDS by PHAN DELATORRE Attending a University of the first class was a difficult task. Some met this challenge and went above and beyond other students who attained and kept a grade point average of 3.5 and above throughout their years at the University. On April 13, the Concert Hall of the Performing Arts Center was filled with the smartest juniors and seniors at the University. They gathered for a ceremony to honor students ' outstan- ding academic achievements and similar achievements by staff and faculty members. President Peter Flawn presided over the 37th annual Honors Day program. Starting the cere- mony, the Longhorn Concert Band, con- ducted by Glenn Richter, provided the music. Following the in- troduction of guests and President Flawn ' s opening address, the dean of each school gave a short speech, and then announced the distinguished col- lege scholars within his or her college. These 83 students maintained a 4.0 GPA during their years at the University. Approx- imately 1,800 juniors and seniors were named college scholars for keeping a 3.5 or above GPA. Faculty awards included the Amco Foundation ' s Outstanding Teaching Award, presented to James Vick, pro- fessor of mat hematics. Vick was chosen on the basis of his contributions to the University by a committee of his peers made up of faculty members from every college at the University. The next awards given, the Nowotny Medals, were to retired staff members. Ronald Brown, vice president for stu- dent affairs, presented three medals. LIMELIGHT Edited by Phan DeLaTorre Lloyd Edmonds, general manager of Texas Student Publications from 1956 to 1982 was one of those awarded. Billy Ellington, who worked as assistant foot- ball coach under Darrell Royal from 1959 to 1981, also received the medal. The third medal was given to Paul White, former director of Student Health Services. Each Nowotny Medal bore the inscription, University retired persons whose careers in the UT ad- ministration in Student Affairs have had a positive effect on many UT students ' lives. Presidential citations were awarded to C. B. Smith and Jack Taylor for recogni- tion of their activities outside the University that were of great significance to life at the University. U.S. Representative Jake Pickle presented Smith his award. Among the students honored were foreign students Par Kee Peter Mo and Miguel de Silva. Par Kee Peter Mo, business senior and distinguished college scholar, said that it was important not to dwell on books. You must have a social life, said Mo. Miguel de Silva, architecture sophomore from Paris, said that some of his classes were simply not hard. But he admitted that he sacrificed some classes, such as English, so that he could do well in his architecture classes. To commemorate these honored peo- ple, the top of the University Tower was lit at dusk on the evening of April 13. Chairman of the program, William Lord, said, The program went off quite well. It is a pleasure to be associated with it and all the fine people. I get a real charge out of it. Limelight 427
