JUNE 2, 1981 growth in engineering, architec ture and related technologies, as well as in its business programs. The fastest growth at CUNY, however, is expected in data pro cessing. Richard G. Cashwell, director of undergraduate admissions at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, expects the greatest enrollment there to be in business. He said pre-medical, pre-law, pre-dentistry and other pre-professional programs will also show strong gains. The University of Illinois re ports that enrollments in the Col lege of Commerce and Business Administration and in the College of Engineering could be larger, but openings for students arc li mited by budgets. “The University of Illinois could enroll many more students pre paring for careers in engineering and business if funds for additional staff and facilities were available, ” said Gary R. Engelgau, acting di rector of admissions and records. He said enrollments in fine and performing arts and for courses in education, physical education, re creation administration andhealth education have dropped since the 1970s.

TXW led oxclnsivcl)!» eal estate center lonates $100,000 fflie Texas Real Estate Research Center has endowed $100,000 to I College of Business Administration at Texas A&M University to create a real estate professorship in the finance department. «The professorship is named in honor of Julio S. Laguarta, the first Wirnian of the TRERC Advisory Committee and noted as instrumen tal in founding the center. Laguarta is presently president and chief executive officer-ol »uarta, Gavrel and Kirk Inc., a full-service real estate firm in uston. He will be the 1982 president of the National Association ol altors, a 700,000-member organization. He is a former president of Texas Association of Realtors. The objective of establishing the professorship is in keeping with a ndate from the center to work with colleges and universities in tas,” said Dr. A.B. Wooten, director of the center. “We hope to iport and create additional academic real estate programs. It’s only appropriate that the professorship be established in Juarta’s name, ” Wooten said, “because he has been a strong suppor- of real estate education for many years. Creation of the professorship was approved May 26 by the Texas :M University System Board of Regents. uditions to be held for summer plays IStudents interested in being in the limelight this summer can pition for parts in a play to be presented in June by the MSG Dinner eatre Committee.

The registration fee is floral designs provide nfinite variety in art During the 1950s Benz began experimenting with other ways to express his ideas .through floral arrangements, Johnson said. Re moving; the .obstacles of isfet ..pat terns, he developed a flee-form interpretive style that used the form and color of flowers in the same way modern artists use brush and paint. “Benz developed his art iiy much the same way Picasso de veloped his, ” Johnson said.. John son studied and worked with Betiz.. before coming to Texas A&M. “His third theory, abstract fofni,- knocked people oil their fee! when he unveiled it.” Benz wrote, illustrated .and published three books during his career, which are considered stan dards in floral design. The copyr ights and publishing rights for the lavishly illustrated books were also granted to Texas A&M upon Benz’ death. Although Benz, extended the boundaries of floral art far beyond traditional forhis, he did not be lieve in teaching beyond the basics, said Johnson. As a result, students of the School of Floral Design are instructed in the basic geometric designs and in the mechanics of floral arranging, and not in free-form or abstract techni ques, Johnson said. „ “Once you learn the basic prin eipals, you can relate them to so . many other things,” Johnson said. “Benz'himself believed that the patterns in nature can provide an infinite variety in art. He hoped c’that his designs would spark the imagination. lie has been called the “Picasso floral design,” and possibly the pst influential innovator in the dral industry.
