Cultural enhancement University dorm system Michael Stravato tudents did more than just study at the University. The campus provided many extra- curricular and cultural opportunities. It was just a matter of deciding how to spend one ' s time. No one could have done all there was to do during their stay at the University. In fact, many students were not even aware of the possibilities. There were over 800 registered student organizations in which to participate, ranging from anti-apartheid groups to David Letterman fanatics. Student publications and the new student radio station provided ways to gain experience in those fields. As far as entertainment was concerned, the University had it all. The Arts Complex had numerous offerings throughout the year, such as the Austin Symphony, Austin Ballet, Broadway shows and concerts. Student productions, such as plays and sym- phony concerts, were almost always available at fairly reasonable ticket prices. The Texas Union was the perfect place for fun and cheap recreation. Students could always be found in the movie theater, bowling alley, billiards room and video games room. At night, the Tavern hosted local musicians and was a popular spot for drinking and dancing. For the cultural appetite, several art museums were located on campus. At the Texas Memorial Museum, one could see huge dinosaur footprints, discovered not far from Austin. At the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, one could see the world ' s first photograph or one of the few copies of the Gutenberg Bible. The Archer M. Huntington Art Gallery, located in the Art Building, featured changing exhibits of national importance. Obviously, there was no shortage of opportunities for students to get involved at the University of Texas at Austin. by Amanda Youngblood 6 Uniquely Texas

Daniel By ram First-class education Michael Stravato tudents at the University of Texas knew that they were attending a great school a university of the first class. Since its opening in 1883, the University established itself as one of the eminent institutions of higher learning in the United States. It was only one of three southwestern members of the Association of American Universities and boasted of a number of excellent academic programs. The accounting department was rated in the top five in the nation for quality of faculty and programs. The graduate program in law ranked fifth in the nation among public schools, while graduate programs in education and business were in the top 10. In addition, the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs was rated sixth nationally for quality among both private and public institutions and third among state- supported schools. Naturally, these qualifications enabled the University to attract many top scholars. Data showed that nearly 88 percent of entering freshmen were in the top quarter of their high school class, while 42 percent ranked in the top 10 percent. Over 900 National Merit Scholars attended the University during the 1987 school year. Much of this reputation was due to the outstanding faculty, which included four Nobel Prize winners, 153 endowed chairs and over 400 endowed professorships. The University also excelled in intercollegiate athletics, having won more Southwest Conference championships in all sports than any other school in the Conference. Without a doubt, the University had a special quality that made it stand out from all the rest a quality that was uniquely Texas. by Amanda Youngblood Uniquely Texas 5
