Team projects topic of talk
By DARLENE JANIK
Battalion Reporter
Uniting architects, landscape
architects, planners and scientists
to work on team projects will be
the topic of a program Thursday at
Texas A&M’s Langford Architec
ture Center.
In a similar program on Friday,
the topic of discussion will be the
pros and cons of married spouses
sharing the same professional field
or firm.
Speakers for both programs.
Grant and Ilze Jones, are the hus
band and wife landscape architect
team of Jones and Jones, one of the
United States’ leading architectu
ral firms.
According to the November
1980 issue of Landscape Architec
ture magazine, the firm has re
ceived many ASLA awards and
“has acquired an international
reputation for sensitive, innova
tive style in working with the
whole range of contempory prob
lems in the human and natural en
vironments.”
In architectural design, each
professional involved usually
works on the project separately, as
opposed to a team effort, Williams
said.
Williams said two other cou
ples, Everett and LaBarbara Fly
of Fly Associates Inc., and
architects Bill and Susan Perrino
Mackey, will join the Joneses Fri
day to discuss inter-professional
marriages and pair-bonded part
nerships.
The couples say they plan to dis
cuss questions concerning prob
lems and benefits of having a
spouse in the same firm or occupa
tion, Williams said.
Thursday’s discussion will be in
105C Langford Architecture Cen
ter Auditorium at 5 p.m. Friday’s
program will in 207C Langfod at
11 a.m.
The programs are sponsored by
the departments of Landscape!
Architecture and Environmental'
Design and hosted by the Texas :
A&M student chapters of the ‘
American Society of Landscape ■
Architects and the American Insti- >
tute of Architects.

The Brazos Valley Food Co-op
Jvides natural foods to area resi-
its with the down-to-earth
nosphere of old-time general
ires.
The store is at 4405 Old College
ain, and with its wooden
lelves, hanging scales and bins,
[|s reminiscent of an earlier time.
Membership in the co-op is
|en to anyone who pays a non-
pundable $5 fee. However, it is
|>t necessary to be a member of
co-op to buy merchandise
i the store.
I The co-op stocks a variety of
grains, beans, nuts, teas, herbs,
spices and dried fruits and also
carries such dairy products as
yogurt and cheeses.
Customers follow a help-
yourself policy by weighing and
bagging their purchases and writ
ing up their own sales receipts.
Customers are encouraged to
bring their own containers to carry
their purchases home.
In addition to the $5 fee, co-op
members also must contribute
funds into a capitalization
program.
“The capitalization program
started two years ago to help ex
pand the store’s inventory and to
purchase new equipment,” Kathy
Roemer, a member of the co-op,
said.
When individuals or house
holds of the co-op contribute
money, Roemer said, they are
actually giving the store a loan.
Since most members are col
lege students and are not perma
nent residents the loan is re
funded to anyone who decides to
leave the Bryan/College Station
area.
The store is open Monday
through Friday from 11 a.m. to 1
p.m. and from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.,
and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m.

the Academic Council Tuesday.
The Texas A&M Graduate
atalog now states that a student
must have a minimum grade point
Tatio of 3.0 at the time he sche-
a naiu . clules the oral examination for
MP 6 rjlither the master’s or doctoral de-
? e ® fl fe e e.
in elite| The new requirement states
hat, in addition to having a 3.0
GPR, a student must have no un
absolved grades of D, F or U (un
satisfactory) for any course listed
for degree credit on his degree
program.
Council members also
approved modifications of the
admission requirements for the
doctoral program in the College of
Business Administration.
Under the old policy, the col
lege required the Graduate Man

admission to any graduate prog
ram. Students now will be allowed
to submit scores of either the
GMAT or the Graduate Record
Examination.
The council also approved
changes in the undergraduate cur
riculum in landscape architecture.
The changes will provide more
elective opportunities for seniors
and allow students to select math
courses to suit their career needs.
The group also approved candi
dates for graduate and undergra
duate degrees to be awarded Fri
day and Saturday. A total of 1,328
graduate and 1,772 undergradu
ate degrees will be conferred.
