Feature Stock exchange post comes to UT pon entering the ultra-modern structure of the Graduate School of Business for the first time, students often looked surprised to see the brass and oak trading post located at the entrance. This old-fashioned structure was the New York Stock Exchange Trading Post Num- ber Five, which held a position on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange from 1929 until 1981. Thousands of stocks were exchanged at this post on Wall Street, including such stocks as Hupp Motor Car Corp., Eureka Vacuum Clean- er Corp., Bon Ami Co., Pure Oil Co., and Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures. I like to see the post when I come through the GSB, Lisa Moyers, marketing sophomore, said. I think that Wall Street activities and the stock market are a vital part of the business world, and the trading post represents all those things it ' s a good symbol for the business world. The University obtained the valuable tradii post through co-operation with the Stock change Post Preservation Program. There we only 14 trading posts preserved, and the ber Five post was the only one on display in southwest. Alumni Edward Randall III, Chairman of tl Board of the Rotan Mosle Financial Corpi ration, lead the effort to restore the trading pos I t mm

Kappa Psi Elderly help prepare pharmacists Pharmacy majors in Kappa Psi pharma- ceutical fraternity made friends with se- nior citizens and prepared themselves for service in the public sector by spending time with the Austin Groups for the Elderly. President John Zaiger, pharmacy senior, said that helping the elderly was the pharmacy stu- dents ' way of getting ready for the service role they would assume when they graduated as well as becoming friends with the elderly. The students helped the nursing home res- idents play bingo every Thursday from one to 2 p.m. Kappa Psi sent five people at a time to help run the bingo games and to interact with the people at the nursing home. Zaiger said that sending a greater number of people at one time was not necessary since bingo was played every week, giving everyone in the group ample time to participate in the project. Zaiger said one or two of the Kappa Psi members ran the games for those wanting to play while other members talked with senior citizens not interested in playing bingo. We ' ll sit around and talk to them, because they like to sit around and talk. I think they enjoy the time we spend, Zaiger said. We set this up as a service project. It ' s really something we wanted to do for the community. We are dealing with people and it gives the people in our group experience in working with other people, especially the elderly, Zaiger said. Zaiger credited Pepe Gutierrez Rocca, phar- macy senior, the special projects committee chairman, in initiating the idea for the project. by Robert Shofner B-l-N-G-O: Kappa Psi members assist the Austin Groups for the Elderly at a weekly bingo game in order to become more service-minded.

Complete restoration cost up to $37,000, but most felt it was a worthwhile cause for the University to invest in an historical antique. The stock exchange represents American ingenuity and innovation in the financial world. It created a climate for different ways of raising capital to finance the corporations that are the backbone of the U.S. and world economies today, Zuriel Loera, business junior, said. Other trading post owners included such prestigious schools as Harvard University, Uni- versity of Chicago and American University. I saw the trading post during a tour of the campus when I first came to the University, Marion Keith, education-French sophmore said. I think the post is a very interesting part of the business school. by Christina Dacey N - i I
