Architecture considers revisions in curriculum Options in architectural structures, design and environmental technology were proposed for a curriculum revision in the College of Architecture and Design. Plans under con- sideration by the College would divide the present architectural curriculum into three divisions of study. In national ratings, the College of Architec- ture and Design was among 21 colleges and universities whose regional planning pro- grams were recognized by the American In- stitute of Planners. An accrediting team recog- nized the Landscape Architecture program as one of 13 accredited departments in the nation. Realization of job experience values was shown when the College sent a student to a London firm as a summer intern. He was one of 20 U.S. students selected to go abroad.

Sketching outside near Seaton, a basic drawing student uses charcoal to depict the white tower of the power plant. Distinguished Professor joins Architecture faculty Under a program financed by a $50,000 Board of Regents appropriation, the College of Architecture and Design recruited the second Regents Distinguished Professor. Henry Wright, a world authority on environ- mental technology, joined the College ' s faculty second semester. Other nationally recognized architects lec- tured on campus through a College-sponsored series. Bruce Goff, noted for use of unorthodox building materials, and architect-planners Howard Fisher and Richard Ahern were among architects in the series. In regional and national architectural com- petition, students won nine prizes. One entry, a welded space frame, won top award of $1,750 in a structural design contest sponsored by the James F. Lincoln Foundation. Another architectural student placed fourth in the same design competition. During Architecture ' s second year as a college, the Architecture Council was formed to co-ordinate student and faculty activities. Members of the student group drew up the Architecture Council constitution. Composing the new Architecture and Design Council are R. Poison, Randolph L Wright, Robyn D. Brooks, Kenneth Keith R. Zwick.JamesA. Calcara, Robert A. Anderson, Steven Kallenbach, Thomas C. Helbing and Jack C. Durgan.
