CACTUS MCMLXXXIII Commemorating The University of Texas Centennial BRIAN ALLEN VANICEK Editor-in-Chief MAUREEN L. CREAMER Associate Editor JERRY R. THOMPSON Supervisor of Yearbooks STEVEN PUMPHREY Photography Supervisor ABOUT THE COVER Two primary factors were taken into considera- tion in designing the cover for the 1983 Cactus Yearbook. First, the cover had to reflect the dynamic spirit of The University during its Centen- nial year. Second, we were looking for a cover that would incorporate the best of both the old and the new University. The cover design includes a watercolor of a stained-glass window found on the third floor of the present Main Building. Encouraging the reader to come in and take a better look at The Universi- ty, the window is especially appropriate as the elements found within the University shield, the longhorn steer and the cactus, are all part of the University ' s past that are still alive today. The Old Main Building blind embossed in the cover ' s border of cactus is more subdued than the water- color, symbolizing a shadow of our past. r 2 Title Page
