A foam padded Santa Claus suit draws the curious eye of passers by in
Tahir Square in downtown Baghdad, Iraq, Monday, Dec. 1, 2003. The
Santa suits are handmade in Baghdad and can be either worn as a cos
tume or left out as a decoration.

The students split up the
different aspects involved in
the project, said junior envi
ronmental design major
Shaun Tarpley.
“This was an opportunity
for our class to have real life
experience,” he said. “There
was a real client and developer
which made the project very
tangible and real.”
Junior environmental design
major Lindsay Gavos said this
was her first professional archi
tecture experience.
“We were having to work
with people who change their
minds. It was a great experi
ence that was like the real
world. We really learned about
working in a team,” Gavos said.
HKS visited and critiqued
the students’ projects mid
semester, said junior environ
mental design major Melissa
Marusak. The developers orig
inally wanted a one story
building, but then decided that,
for visibility reasons, they
wanted the designs changed to
multi-story facilities. The stu
dents in turn had to revise their
entire designs, Marusak said.
“We had to be really flexi
ble,” said junior environmen
tal design major Michelle
Moore. “The developers were
very honest about the changes
that could be made."
Senior environmental
design major Sharon Wells said
this project let her see what is
expected in the business world
with clients and companies.
“HKS and the developers
actually gave us a list of what
was needed for the facility
and what sizes. These were
things we’ve never dealt with
before. In the end we learned
a lot about functionality,”
Evans

Wells said.
Mann said he treated this
project like it was an actual
office project.
“It’s always satisfying and
challenging to work with stu
dents — they are truly the
future of our profession,” said
Ronald L. Skaggs, FAIA chair
man of HKS Architects and
adjunct professor of architec
ture at A&M, in a press release.
The students will travel to
Dallas Wednesday to present
their designs. Mann said they
may use some of the students’
designs in the project.
schools now exist for girls as well
as boys. Previously, the country
only supported education for boys.
The president has also brought
democracy to Saddam Hussein’s
former region in Iraq, Evans said.
“1 spoke with children in
Baghdad and they have dreams of
going to college,” Evans said. “The
president has defined a mission for
freedom around the world.”
Evans said he wants people to
wake up to a sense of hope, not
fear. He said his support, along
with the rest of the Cabinet, is fully
with President Bush.
“Truth, trust and loyalty are
essential qualifications defining
Bush as a man and a leader,” Evans
said. “If we do our job we will lead
this country to a place your chil
dren and grandchildren want to
call home.”
Evans was this year’s feature
speaker in The Conoco Phillips
White House Lecture Series held
the Annenberg Presidential
etef v ersity'

in
Conference Center at the George
Bush Presidential Library Center.
The lecture series began in 1999
and takes place annually to provide
