Under the editorship of Barbara Linch, Peregrinus staff members organized The University of Texas School of Law yearbook. The book is named after the Praetor Peregrinus, a traveling chancellor who settled legal disputes in the Roman Empire. Peregrinus, Perry for short, is the patron saint of the Law School. Produced by a small staff, the 144-page book cov- ered annual Law School events such as the Fall Drunk (a Halloween costume party), intramural sports, the various Law School organizations and speakers such as Houston attorney Richard Racehorse Haynes. Peregrinus also featured an article on the demolition of the historic Wesleyan Building in order to make room for the addition to Townes Hall. As an added attraction for bored law students, staf- fers included a game page with dot-to-dot pictures, puzzles and mazes. Staff members also conducted spot interviews in the hall with questions concerning such topics as Gary Gilmore ' s effect on the death penalty and the Law School ' s present grading system. Peregri- nus staffers dedicated the yearbook to Dr. Gus Hodges, a retiring Law School professor. STUDENT PUBLICATIONS ) Peregrinus 1. William Charles Schmidt Jr. 2.

STUDENT PUBLICATIONS THE DAILY TEXAN The Daily Texan reads and looks like a hometown newspaper at its best, an Associated Collegiate Press judge said upon rating UT ' s student newspaper. For the fourth time in 10 years, The Daily Texan won the Pacemaker Award, the highest honor presented by the Associated Collegiate Press and the American News- paper Publisher Association. The Texan had previously been given the award in 1965, 1969 and 1971. Scott Tagliarino was the editor for the 1 975-1 976 award-win- ning newspaper. Mary Walsh edited the newspaper for 1976-1977. Even though Walsh was not the first woman editor, she was proud of that fact. As she put it, Although there ' s a certain amount of prestige and excitement in being the first woman to do something, I would much rather follow a tradition of great women. The Daily Texan was not without its controversies this year. Following an El Toro Tequila advertisement which was viewed as racially discriminative, a barrage of letters and comments flowed into the Texan office and onto the pages of The Daily Texan. Loyd Edmonds, general manager of Texas Student Publications, printed an apology for the ad. Images, a weekly entertainment and television guide supplemented the Monday morning Texan. Student ' s complaints and suggestions concerning The Texan were channeled to a newly-appointed Daily Texan Ombudsman. Serving in the new position during the fall, Dawn Turnham became the go-between for editors and readers. Tom Swinnea served in the spring. Daily Texan staff members operate the new video display terminals as Spring Managing Editor Michael Cardenaz looks on. 246 Daily Texan
