If coffee is the magic liquid which allows thousands of students to get through exams each semester, beer is the stuff that revives students from after-exam woes. Bicentennial The increasing activity this year in University Hall 2.10 may be a sign of what one worker there calls the single most unifying force since World WarII. He was speaking of the Texas Bi- centennial Commissions efforts at organizing communities to celebrate their heritage and culture in anti- cipation of the nation's zoorh anni- versary in 1976. Due mainly to Arlington's location in the heart of a large metropolitain area, the state bicentennial office moved here in july 1973.

Automobiles Ask any teacher about the num- ber of student cars that don't start, tires that go flat and other automotive breakdowns that keep students from class. Many students depend on their automobiles to get them to class. Some simply aim the car towards UTA and wake up just as it pulls into a parking lot. lSee Parkingl Balloons Utilizing the clever technique of balloon advertising, Student Ac- tivities encouraged a great amount of enthusiasm among prospective audi- ences. 24 A pathy Bands A tribute to Duke Ellington, with a special arrangement of his greatest hits, highlighted the lab band's 28th Big Band jazz Concert in April at Texas Hall.
