One of the best places to stay for the money is the Golden Nugget. Sights to see in San Francisco in clude Fisherman’s Wharf, Ghiradelli Square and Chinatown. Fishermen selling their day’s catch line the streets along Fisherman’s Wharf. The smell isn’t pleasing, but the seafood is some of the best any where. Several excellent seafood res taurants are located not far from the Wharf. One of the best restaurants is named Fisherman’s Wharf. Chinatown offers some seafood restaurants, but typical Chinese cui sine and oriental artifacts are sold in the vicinity. Chinese handcuffs and fortune cookies are just some of the things that can be found there. Ghiradelli Square, home of Ghira delli chocolate, offers several delec table eateries and plenty of sugar- coated goodies.

By VERONICA MUZQUIZ Reporter Though the Texas A&M Princi- als’ Center has been in operation or more than a year, it will be offi- cally recognized by the Texas A&M Board of Regents today. The Principals’ Center provides present and prospective elementary and secondary principals with pro fessional assistance through semi nars and counseling. David Hinojosa, the center’s di rector, said the center focuses on teaching organizational abilities, leadership and judgement. The tea ching program, however, is con stantly being revised to include new legislative laws and bills. A group of eight principals, rep resenting elementary, middle and secondary levels, review the pro gram semi-annually. Principal Carolyn Taylor said she attended the Principals’ Center after she was hired at an elementary school because she wanted to im prove her skills. "It was nice to interact with people from other districts and get their opinions and advice,” she said. Hinojosa said the center recently has received national prominence, through efforts of the College of Ed ucation, in developing the position the t of principals’ in system. public school “I foresee that we are going to be acquiring greater recognition be cause we are meeting a very real need,” he said. This summer the Principals’ Cen ter will initiate a new program called the Principals’ Academy. The aca demy will be a five-day program cov ering topics such as effective schools and principals and teacher evalua tion, Hinojosa said.
