YOUNG REPUBLICANS The purpose of the University Young Republicans Club is to give students an opportunity for practical political experience, volunteer work at Republican headquarters and in election campaigning, and an understanding of the Re- publican Party.

In a program called 11-66, Club members, over the Christ- mas holidays, telephoned all University students of voting age to encourage them to buy their poll taxes. Noted speakers to the group were George Bush, senatorial candidate; George Darby, state chairman of the Texas Young Republican Federation; Tom Dixon, Houston Negro Republican leader; and Thad Hutcheson, former state Republican chairman.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERS AAAE members worked on their summer project, a Solar Skydome used for tracing orbits of sun travel. The aim of the American Association of Architectural Engineers is to offer conscientious students in architectural engineering a chance to expand their knowledge and interest in design beyond the classroom. This goal is pursued through improved student-faculty relations, acquaintance with pro- fessionals in architecture, scholarships to outstanding students and lectures by professionals. This year the AAAE participated in the annual Uni- versity Power Show and such social events as AAAE and Engineering Sweetheart elections, a spring picnic and a spring awards banquet. Among noted speakers to the group were Dr. Franklin Beaumont Johnson, associate professor of architectural engineering; Dr. David Wayne Fowler, as- sistant professor of architectural engineering; and A. D. Stinger, Austin contractor. AAAE officers were Alvin L. Bennett, president; Benjamin H. Nichols, vice-president; Henry Grady Guest, secretary; Ronald Norman Macon, treasurer; Herbert Kenneth Rigsbee and Larry Andrew Fuess, Student Engineering Council rep- resentatives; Rawleigh Terrell Reagan, chaplain. Other of- ficers were Jack Frost Sanders and Jerry Leroy Vernon, publicity; Michael Thomson, intramurals coordinator. Dr. David Wayne Fowler served as faculty sponsor. Page 410
