PEREGRINUS Law students switch image by BRIAN BENDER The more you do, the more you can do, said Lynn Rossi, Peregrinus editor. The four-member staff consisted of Rossi and three associate editors, who put together the 128-page yearbook. Besides going to Law School, the staff members held jobs and belonged to other organizations. There is a lot more to Law School than just going to class and studying, said Rossi. You have to learn how to budget your time. Because Law School classes have no tests other than final exams, Rossi said she was careful to plan deadlines so they would not conflict with finals. When asked why he joined the staff, Rhett Robinson said, If I didn ' t do this, I ' d probably have to study more. If we didn ' t participate in other ac- tivities, we would be bored to death, said associate editor Gaye Holden, Law students prob-ably have the cleanest bathrooms in town, explaining that the law students often go without extracurricular activities because they study all the time. The 1985 Peregrinus covered the traditional Law School events, such as the Fall Drunk, the Fajita Festival and the Sunflower Ceremony, along with the mock trials, dances and distinguished guest speakers like Myra McDaniel, Texas Secretary of State and D. Robert White, author of the Official Lawyers Handbook. The appointment of a new dean, Mark G. Yudof, was also an im- portant feature. In her goal to show that law students were real people and did other things besides go to class and study, Rossi add- ed more candid pictures to the book. Another distinguishing feature of Peregrinus was the bright red cover, which Rossi said would make the book stand out forever. Stephen Rhett Robinson, Lynn Ellen Rossi, Ann Davis Foster.

Calling it the icing on the cake, Woodruff said 1984 was a great year for news including everything from a special legislative session in the summer of 1984 to the city council and student government elections in the spring. For 1983-1984 ' s publication, the Texan was awarded a Pacemaker award by the Associated Collegiate Press. Woodruff also said that while awards did not mean the Texan was vastly better than every other college daily in America . . . the Texan had consistently been one of the best college dailys in America.

UTMOST MAGAZINE Magazine nurtures new look by LAURA ROSSMAN Every campus has a hotbed of in- tellectual ferment, stated Utmost magazine editor Laura Fisher, explain- ing that a major goal of the 1984-85 staff was to create a look that people would automatically connect with UT. Fisher said the new Utmost should wake (the readers) up to things that are going on. The new image began with changing the old cover, which Fisher described as pseudo-Texas Monthly. The new cover, created by Liz Patterson, sported Preparing a page for the second issue of Utmost, Egon Zippel, carefully sizes a headline. Photo by Robert Cohen a new, cleaner design. Another change was the addition of three columns - NewsViewsClues, Culture Shock, and Tex-Kitsch. These changes were in part a response to a readers ' survey that showed readers wanted to see more humor and intellec- tual profiles. Fisher said the creation of a lasting image was necessary to better serve its diverse readership. She summed up the job of presenting a magazine that would appeal to such a diverse audience by stating It ' s a challenge . . . but I feel that we have incorporated our ideals into this year ' s magazine.
