This fall, 35 Aggies exchanged le

in College Station for le chateau
Pourtales in Strasvbourg, Fr-
e.
Instead of dining on food dished
at Sbisa Cafeteria, they feast on
sine served by a French chef,
eyalso trade their scenic view of
steady stream of traffic on Texas
enue for a picturesque overlook
the Rhine River along the
(Franco-German border.

s into northern Italy and possi-
the Scandinavian countries of
them Europe. Their studies are
anized so that classroom work is
re at the chateau and weekends
free for traveling.
This is not just a travelogue,’
]Dr. Raymond D. Reed, clean of
college of Architecture and En-
|oiimental Design. “The students
taking full Texas A&M course
Ids taught by Texas A&M profes-
“But instead of having five
courses taught by five separate in
structors, the students have five
challenges integrated into one prob
lem. They study different aspects of
a certain town’s architecture, for
example,’’ he said.
The courses are taught by Daniel
F. MacGilvray, assistant professor
of environmental design, and Fred
Klatt Jr., professor of landscape ar
chitecture.
Reed said the courses are taught
at no additional expense to the Uni
versity. The students provide the
difference in cost.
The student’s cost for the entire
semester, including Texas A&M’s
tuition and fees, books, food, clo
thing and travel, is about $3,500.
Reed said the absolute minimum to
bring would he $3,000.
In order to he considered to go on
the trip, the students must be third-
or fourth- year environmental de
sign or landscape architecture
majors,who will have at least one
more semester of study left at Texas
A&M when they return.
Their new knowlege and changed
attitudes can benefit the University
in their final semester here, said
Reed.
“The students are taking the same
type of courses that are offered
here, but the subject matter dif
fers,” Reed said “For instance, in
stead of studying the architecture of
a small town in Texas, they are
studying a small vilage in Germany
or France.
“We want to give, as part of the
regular college curriculum, an op
portunity to study how other people
solve their architectural problems,”
said Reed.
“The architect interprets the soc
iety in which we live and gives
structure to the body and spirit of
the society. The student can get a
different view of American life by
living abroad for a while,” he said.
“Until you walk the streets of,
say, Copenhagen, you don’t realize
how illogical the way we live is. You
need a car to buy a loaf of bread
here. In Copenhagen they have a
bakery located next to a market,
which is within walking distance of
all the other shops you need.”
The chateau where the students
are staying is owned by Schiller Col
lege, a school founded in 1964 to
provide an American-style educa
tion in Europe. It is a liberal arts
college and the faculty members
speak English, said Duane K. Cote,
chairman of the foreign studies
program for the college of architec
ture and environmental design.
Schiller College was selected be
cause of its location in central
Europe. “It is literally at the center
of European culture,” Reed said. “It
is a two-hours’ drive from Switzer
land, northern Italy, Paris, or
Heidelberg, Germany.”
But even though they are living
thousands of miles from College Sta
tion, the students have not forgotten
their fellow students back at home.
In Strasbourg, France, the night be
fore the Kansas University game,
they held midnight yell practice for
the Aggies in America.

was being sabotaged by the two
other networks, who were accused of
upstaging the extavaganza with big-
draw programs.
In opposition to the Emmy prog
ram, NBC schedvded “Dumbo” and
“King Kong while ABC debuted its
space opera “Battlestar Galactica.”
Ironically, NBC won 24 Emmys to
tie with CBS in the network battle of
the awards. ABC, which led in the
Nielson ratings for the 1977-78 sea
son, was third with 19 and PBS won
seven Emmys.
Carter’s half-hour bite into the
telecast lengthened the Emmys
show to more than four long hours.
During the president’s news confer
ence, carried on monitors inside the
huge Pasadena Civic Auditorium,
most of the 2,900 spectators and
celebrities left their seats for a
cigarette break outside.
“Holocaust, the miniseries about
Jews caught up in the Nazi atrocities
of the 1930s and ‘40s, captured the
Emmy for outstanding limited series
and its stars, Meryl Streep and
Michael Moriarty, won for best ac-
| tress and best actor.
The show also won for outstanding
director, Marvin Chomsky, best
supporting actress, Blanche Baker,
and best writing, Gerald Green.
“Holocaust” also won two craft
awards for editing and costume de
sign.
The 8-year-old show “All in the
Family” won the Emmy for best
comedy series. Its stars, Carroll
O’Conner, Jean Stapleton and Rob
Reiner captured best acting awards
and Paul Bogart won for best direc
tor.
Old-timer Fred Astaire won the
award for outstanding actor in a
drama-comedy special for his per
formance in “A Family Upside
Down.
Joanne Woodward won the Emmy
for best actress in a drama-comedy
special for her performance in “See
How She Runs.”
Weekly series winner for best
drama was “The Rockford Files,” hut
honors went to Sada Thompson of
“Family” and Edward Asner of “Lou
Grant for best performances in a
dramatic series.

and the outstanding comedy-

Mules laden with Blue Maguey pinas on their way to Cuervo's La Rojena plant.
Since 1795we’ve gathered our
Blue Magueys for Cuervo Gold
the gentle way.
Its the old way. And still
the best.
At Cuervo we know that there is only one way to make
Cuervo Gold perfect The way we’ve been doing it for more
than 180 years.
That’s why people still nurture our fields of Blue
Maguey plants. And why mules are still used to bring
these precious plants to our distillery. Fbr tradition is still
the most important ingredient in Cuervo Gold.
This is what makes Cuervo Gold truly special. Neat,
on the rocks, with a splash of soda, in a perfect Sunrise or
Margarita, Cuervo Gold will bring you back to a time when
quality ruled the world.
Cuervo. The Gold standard since 1795.
