A&M sponsors seminar Softball loser hit with pie by Jill Murrie, Paula Vogt and Sheryl Stevens There is “nojoy in Burnsville” Fred Bunch said as Butch’s Bums fell to Mark’s Mullets 11-9 in seven innings of play at Duncan Field Wednesday night. The ballgame is a annual event between Texas A&M’s Communica tions Workshop softball teams — the Mullets and the Bums. Although Butch Milks was a good sport, he had a few words for his lucky opponents. “I feel that the Mullets should follow the male-female batting procedure,” he said. “Also, I feel the Mullets should try to recruit more [ women to the team, or the team will be called something other than the Mullets.” lent game. After the game, both! coaches were hit in the face with a pie. | While leaving the field. Milks and! his Bums hung their heads and! started planning to win next year’s! game. The friendly rivalry began four! years ago when Taylor Publishing! Company representatives, David andf Milks, tried to find a game that every one could play.

But, both coaches agreed to get a pie in the face. by Toni Byam and Darrell Malinowski Journalism activities are keeping over 300junior high school and high school students busy this week as the Department of Communications hosted its 12th annual Communica- tons Workshop. All students are participating in one field of study, and activities range from recreation to various newspap er, photography and yearbook lec tures. Newspaper students chose earlier in the week to enter one of two news paper classes. The first is a beginning class for students who feel they need more background in the newswriting field. Gassy Jordan and Debbie Mul lins are teaching these sessions. The more advanced lecture, which is fo cused upon different aspects of lay out and design, is directed by Lorene Denney. Photography students also have the prerogative to place themselves in a beginning or advanced session. The beginning class, led by Howard Filers, discusses the procedures of proces sing film. Fred Bunch directs the adv anced class, in which the students learn to be more observant of their surroundings. Taylor Publishing Company is in structing the yearbook portion of the workshop. Pat Dose and other Taylor associates are leading this seminar. Students involved are learning to adapt themes and design modular layouts. The workshop ends tommorow. Marty White, a student from Tomball High, commented: “I believe that this workshop has enriched every student involved, with fond memories and ex tensive knowledge.” Advisers direct programs Team names evolved when Milks and David were trying to find non offensive names. The label for Butch’s Bums and Mark’s Mullets have stuck ever since. All that Coach Mark David had to say was that “the Bums played a good game, but we are still undefeated.” Both teams, although threatened by impending rain, played an excel- “We may not win in score, but we j will win in enthusiasm,” coach David said. Milks said: “Gosh our team is dedi cated. I figure they have to be for me not to get a pie in the face.” by Holly Johnson and Sharon Goudy Students attending the Communi cations Workshop will return home Friday with new knowledge from hav ing produced a page in The Battalion, having processed film or having com piled a Weekbook. This was all done under the direction of Sandra Utt, workshop director, with the help of other instructors. Utt was the publications adviser at Norfolk State University and various high schools.

She has her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from West Virginia University and is now assistant pro fessor of journalism at Texas A&M. CassyJordan is the beginningjour- nalism session instructor.

Then they can give all their poor, old journalism advisers rich, cushy jobs!” Jordan has her bachelor’s and mas ter’s degrees from Sam Houston State University. She is a former reporter for the Huntsville Item and the Arlington Daily News. She previously taught high school journalism and was an instructor at Sam Houston State University.

Heather Coynes and Dana Owen of Katy Junior High School, both eleven-year-old seventh graders, have this distinction. “You feel little,” Coynes com mented as she described being in classes with high school students. Owen was at a loss for words to de scribe the situation. The only real problems the pair have encountered so far are slightly uncomfortable beds and pillows, and roaches which were attracted by discarded pre tzels. In spite of these minor problems, Coynes and Owen said they have enjoyed themselves and feel they have learned a lot. They are enrol led in the yearbook section of the workshop, along with fifteen other students from Katy Junior High. Members of their yearbook staff have been attending this workshop for the past several years. In order to be considered for the yearbook staff, each girl had to submit an ap plication and an essay explaining the reasons she was interested. McCallum’s newsmagazine The Shield was named top high school publication in Texas in 1981 by ILPC. As one of the top five high school publications in the nation, The Shield also received The Pacemaker Award from The National Scholastic Press Association. The Shield was named the top newsmagazine in Texas by THSPA. Denney is presently serving as president of the Texas Association of Journalism Directors.
