Architecture Offers Accredited Program A member of a Basic Design Class, Tony Leal, stretches high to hang his three-dimensional de- sign among the other mobiles on display in the Architecture De- partment. X.

Under the direction of Mr. Emil Golla and his staff, the student architects are concerned with theory and realistic problems in the design and planning of workable structures. All practicing architects as well as instructors, the full-time faculty consists of Mr. Golla, Mr. Fred Ludwig and Mr. Charles Schubert. Mr. John Williams, another architect, is employed as a part- time instructor. Vocation-oriented courses in engi- neering drawing and technical drafting are also included in the curriculum. Although the school has always had courses in architectural drafting, Mr. Golla credits his pre- decessor, Mr. Vernon Helmke, with putting the department on a firm footing and bringing it to accredited standards. Architecture projects throughout the year involve planning and constructing workable buildings in model form. ln 1964,-the outstanding models of a hypothetical chapel for San Antonio College were displayed to the student body. This year, several student projects were exhibited for a month at the Witte Museum, the first city- wide exhibit of SAC architecture students' crafts- manship. Highlight of the year's activities for the depart- ment is the annual Architecture Day, held this year on May 6. The day climaxes nearly a week of ex- hibits, films and special speakers, all of which are open to the public. hui ,..-'vs' Riel the c Buildi L i 1 L L
