University of Texas - Cactus Yearbook

“As the oldest UT student publication, the CACTUS Yearbook for 1975 received the All-American rating for the fifth consecutive year from the Associated Collegiate Press. Marks of distinction were earned in four categories: photography, display, coverage and concept. The 1976 CACTUS Yearbook, under a new print- ing contract with American Yearbook Company, was produced with a printing budget of approximately $85,250 and was distributed to more than 10,000 students. Fall and spring workshops were held for staff members and Editor Martha Root and Supervi- sor Jerry Thompson attended the Associate Colle- giate Press Convention in St. Louis, MO, in October. In order to recognize exceptional service to the Uni- versity by students, Outstanding Student and Good- fellow awards, a long-standing UT tradition, were announced by the editor in March. Peregrinus, the University Law School yearbook, added a 16-page supplement that included spring activities. Peregrinus covered controversial issues such as the recall of Student Bar Association Presi- dent Darwin McKee and a law student march to the Capitol in protest of the appointment of University President Lorene Rogers. The name Peregrinus comes from the Praetor Peregrinus, a chancellor who travelled, or peregri- nated, to settle legal disputes in the Roman Empire. Peregrinus, the patron saint of the Law School, took on physical characteristics of a bird that gradually developed legendary significance.
