(continued from page 1)
San Francisco, Las Vegas and Los
Angeles are possibilities.
For those wanting to try their
hand at a slot machine, Las Vegas,
Nev. is the place to be. But you must
be 2 I or older to gamble in Las Ve-
gas.
Not far from the city is the Hoo
ver Dam and the Valley of Fire State
Park.
Of course the city is known for its
gambling and night shows. Plenty of
slot machines, roulette wheels, poker
games and the like easily can be
found, and it usually costs just a
quarter at the most to play them —
once.
Las Vegas has its share of expen
sive hotels, hut good accommoda
tions can he found at reasonable
prices., Most of the lodging on the
Strip is more expensive than else
where.
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.
Los Angeles, about a day’s drive
from San Francisco is known for
Walt Disneyland and Knott’s Berry
Farm.
Of course, Hollywood is nearby
and tours are conducted daily of the
studios where soap operas, other
television shows and movies are
made.
Universal Studios conducts seve
ral tours daily. Highlights include a
stroll through Lucille Ball’s old
dressing room and a live demonstra
tion of now list fights and shoot-outs
in western films are made.
And if the thought of all these
choices is too much, just sitting ai
home, watching television and sleep
ing isn’t a bad way to spend spring
break.
Regents to recognize
principals’ program
r.
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.
