Design is strongly emphasized The College of Architecture was celebrating their twenty-fifth anniversary this year. They had a special comn emorative logo drawn to acknowledge it. That was not all that the College of Architecture was celebrating. Associate Dean Franklin S. Flint said that they were getting closer to breaking in and being accredited as one of the top schools in the upper five percentile of college architecture programs in the United States. Faculty felt making the undergraduate program smaller and the graduate program larger would get them closer to that goal. We are the best at what we do. And I believe we are very close to becoming one of the top five, said Dean Flint. Every year about 800 students apply to the college but only about 225 are accepted into the preprofes- sional year, with only about 50 of them being accepted in to the professional years. At the end of Professor Gourtey re- views and comments on the preliminary sketches of Steve Berns- tein ' s design. Note: Ray Bans.
