Program Council Continuing renovation of Texas Union West meant a decentralization of the activities planned by the Program Council. With Union programming dis- persed to more parts of the campus, the opportuni- ty arose for the Union Program Council to involve more students in a wider array of activities. Members of the Program Council felt that the two years of programming " in exile " have served as a learning experience. Even when Union West reopens in the fall of 1976, programming will be continued around the campus in an effort to involve more students. Texas Union Week, sponsored by the Union ' s nine student committees, introduced students to a full range of programs offered throughout the year. The Texas Tavern celebrated its first birthday in January. The Tavern featured Disco, Chicano and Soul nights where students danced to their favorite music and on the weekends the Musical Events Committee brought live bands to the Tavern. During happy hour, students were able to participate in and watch tournaments of backgammon, chess and arm-wrestling. Other Union programming included movies in Jester, Burdine and Batts Auditoriums; sandwich seminars in Dobie and The Castillian; and art and other topical exhibits in the foyer of the Academic Center. " Campus-wide programming has involved more students than ever before this year and proved pro- gramming ' in exile ' can be a success, " Union Board Director Shirley Bird Perry said.
