[ The Viet-, effect on [ ion Amen- lam about ^ n e another icir homes, lost their costly andj A e learned By DONNA DAVIS Reporter Award-winning students are mak ing a name for the master of ar- jehitecture program at Texas A&M. These students, placing a study emphasis on interior architecture, have been competing in national Bcompetitions since 1979. And in the last three years, A&M students have won 8 of the 13 awards in the Central region given by the Institute of Business Design ers (IBD), which sponsors the na tional competition. A design problem is given to the students competing each year, and this year students were required to design a “club” restaurant. Ward Wells, coordinator of the in terior architecture emphasis at A&M, said this is the only competi tion he enters his students in because it is extremely comprehensive, more so than a normal project or assign ment. Wells said the competition and the interior architecture program deal with more than color and fabric. He said the environment, in which peo ple live and work, must be sup ported by an interior design. The judges use this as a guideline in choosing the regional winners. The Central region second place winner, “Diversions,” was designed by Lyn Thomas of A&M. Thomas qualified to proceed to the national competition where the top two winners from the East, Cen tral and West divisions will compete. Wells said the competition helps the students in terms of personal de velopment and gives them the op to use what they’ve learned. Entries from 70 students were re ceived in the 17-state region, so Thomas said it was important for contestants to learn to sell their ideas. Her design used a visual effect to sell the idea. This effect draws your eyes tlirough the project to each con secutive layout. “Sometimes you have to take a chance to make your design look dif ferent from everyone else’s,” Thomas said, “especially when they are all doing the same project;” Thomas wasn’t the only student from A&M to be recognized in the competition. Ben Adam of Boerne won second honorable mention for his “Eat and Run” design. Adam, who has earned his mas ters degree in architecture, received a gold medal from the American In stitute of Architecture for graduat ing as the top student in the master’s program. Wells said that if it were possible, the students would have given 1 10% of their effort to their projects. Wells has been coordinator of the program at A&M since 1977. Since then he has made some program re visions to strongly integrate the course continuity. He says the pro gram’s success is due to not only these revisions but also the talent of the students. Wells said the national recogni tion his students have received will bring them better job opportunities throughout the nation. Baylor medical school names Eller to Board of Trustees David G. Eller, chairman of the Texas A&M Board of Regents, has been appointed to the Baylor Col lege of Medicine Board of Trustees.

Eller Associated Press AUSTIN — A lawyer represent ing 300 Texas cities said Monday at the start of a rate hearing that the Public Utility Commission staff al ready has sided with American Tele phone & Telegraph Co. AT&T, the state’s largest long-dis tance company, has asked the PUC for a $139 million rate increase. A staff accountant has recommended hikes in basic rates and service charges of $81 million. The company already would net nearly $3 1 million more in gross rec eipts taxes that it no longer has to pay since that tax on telephone com panies has been eliminated by the Legislature. Lawyer Grace Casstevens’ misgiv ings about the PUC staff arose when she asked PUC Administrative Law Judge Phillip Holder for permission to cross-examine the staff, which is charged with representing the pub lic in rate cases. The cities have recommended an $18 million rate increase for AT&T, and Casstevens said the group would drop that recommendation Monday to about $12 million. She said the PUC staff is “basically in line with AT&T on most major is sues in this case.” Holder responded that if he de tected instances of friendly cross-ex- mination by the staff on the AT&T rate proposal, he would then con sider the cities’ request. Eddie Pope of the PUC’s office of general counsel said: “The staff does represent the public interest.” Casstevens also complained that AT&T’s data doesn’t answer ques tions, it just raises questions. But AT&T lawyer Joyce Beasley said AT&T had not received any re quests from the cities’ consultants “for clarifications — certainly no ma jor requests for clarifications.” Tom Jones, AT&T vice president for Texas, said during a break in the hearing that AT&T had withheld “highly sensitive” information such as “marketing strategies, where we are expending money and that sort of thing.” Holder declined to rule at once on motions by the cities and MCI, an other long-distance company, to dis miss AT&T’s rate request. Comments by Holder and lawyers for other parties in the case .indi cated the hearing might run into J ul Y- Correction An article on campus construction in Wednesday’s Battalion contained information which is no longer cor rect. The article quoted Gen. Wesley Peel, vice chancellor of facilities planning and construction, as saying the new Medical Sciences Library would be fully occupied by July. However, that date has been changed to September. Until then, the Medical Sciences Library will continue all services in its present location in the Veterinary Administration Building.
