^, ask have been invited to pati-
cipate in the debate, scheduled
for early April.
“This year we can look back
at the pitfalls that we had last
year and learn from our mis
takes,” Keri Hariston, commit
tee coordinator of public rela
tions, said.
A major problem the commit
tee had last year was waiting to
confirm speaking engagements
until two months prior to the
date of the event, Hariston said.
This year the committee is
working on alternate programs
in case the secretaries of state
are unable to attend.
The committee was orga
nized in 1981 by the MSG
Council to give Texas A&M a
“world class committee, ” Haris
ton said.
We invite renowned speak
ers to A&M to participate in de
bates or to give lectures on so
cial, economic or political
issues,” she said.
In its first year, the commit
tee tried to prepare for the fu
ture. But details had to be work
ed out before the committee
could begin planning any
events.
“We had to decide what
topics would be discussed, who
to invite and how to raise the
money,” Hariston said. “There
were just so many possibilities
that we had to begin narrowing
down our ideas.”
The committee worked with
a budget of more than $80,000.
Most of the money was donated
from large companies in Hous
ton and Dallas.
“Last year’s debate was a
tremendous success and a great
experience for all those in
volved,” Hariston said. “Every
little detail had to be thought
out, like which would be the
best route to drive President
Ford from the airport to cam
pus, and so on.”
The 33 students on the com
mittee had a chance to meet the
former leaders and talk with
them at a party given by the
Texas A&M Board of Regents.
The committee sponsors one
big event a year, Hariston said.

Forasiepi, acknowledging his
teiest in the field of health
peakerfre architecture,
hr Texas Forasiepi showed an interest
h( alth care architecture and
1 he a r id i he aptitude it takes, accord-
g to George Mann, professor
architecture and Forasiepi’s
will spa
in 103 Za
viser.
Forasiepi was nominated by
rofessors and selected on
asis of his final study pro-
ct, Mann said. His project
oposed a design for the re
al ion of Livingston Memorial
gbital.
ffl'he hospital administration
y or may not use his design as
del or basis for its project,
trasiepi said.
The idea for the project re
lied from Forasiepi’s final
idy on the use of the recently
■veloped Nuclear Magnetic
esonance Imager and its
affects on the architectural de
sign of buildings.
“I did the project to find out
what special architectural treat
ments would be necessary for
the NMR unit,” Forasiepi said.
The imager, he explained,
allows a doctor to get a good im
age of a person without the
effect of radiation exposure. In
order to achieve this picture, a
large and powerful magnet is re
quired.
The magnet is the basis for
the building’s structure, because
room housing must shield the
magnet from radio frequency
interference.
He said that led to the idea of
designing a health care facility
since most hospitals plan to
obtain an NMR unit as soon as it
is financially feasible for them.
All graduate architecture stu
dents are required to do a final
study project.
The Health Facilities Re
search and Design Program
offered here is 18 years old and
has graduated 150 architects.
The program is aimed at impro
ving the state of theart of
architecture for health care,
Mann said.
Students who select that area
of interest must know medical
terminology and general medic
al concepts in addition to
architectural skills.
Mann is pleased that the
program here has gained the re
spect of well-known architecture
firms.
Hawes commended the
Texas A&M program and com
mented on the changes in the
architecture program since he
graduated here in 1959.
Following the presentation,
Hawes spoke to about 15
architecture graduate and doc
toral students, explaining the
firm’s current projects and
addressing the growing need for
architects in the specialized area.
