U of H archy walkout yields results Pre-Ckmtaw flub i ponikilHy;
By RAY BROWN
Thresher Reporter
The University of Houston
will reappraise its architecture
program following a walkout
by the architecture students,
stimulated by the loss of full
accreditation by the College of
Architecture
On September 1, the National
Architectural Board changed
the University of Houston's
standing from a fully accredited
architecture school to Provision-
al status. According to the
board, the reason for its action
was to indicate to the University
the need for improvements.
Listed in the board's report
as changes necessary before
full accreditation is achieved
again were correspondence of
counses to their catalog des-
cription, better leadership in
the Architecture College, high-
er pay for the professors, and
a better curriculum. Although
the college has "provisional
accreditation," it enjoys all the
privileges of a fully accredited
school.
According to R. W. Lilliot,
Dean of Architecture at the
University, the main reason for
the ruling is a lack of space.
Lilliot also said that the space
problem will be improved in
the near future by using va-
cancies in the engineering and
psychology buildings.
With the news of the provi-
sional basis of accreditation
being leveled at the University
of Houston, Architecture stu-
dents took matters into their
hands with a one-day walkout
in protest of the existing learn-
ing conditions. By calling the
boycott of classes, the architects
forced the administration to
deal with the provisional ruling
in conjunction with the students.
The administration and archi-
tecture students have designat-
ed the first part of November
as a date for the first question-
answer session on the improve-
ments.

This is Russ Kennedy of Balboa Island, California, on an in-port field trip as a student aboard
Chapman CoIfcge'S floating*campus.**- '"'a *■- ®
The note he paused to make as fellow students went ahead to inspect Hatshepsut's Tomb in the
Valley of the Kings near Luxor, he used to complete an assignment for his Comparative World
Cultures professor.
Russ transferred the 12 units earned during the study-travel semester at sea to his record at
the University of California at Irvine where he continues studies toward a teaching career in life
sciences.
As you read this. 450 other students have begun the fall semester voyage of discovery with
Chapman aboard the s.s. RYNDAM, for which Holland-America Line acts as General Passenger
Agents.
In February still another 450 will embark from Los Angeles for the spring 1967 semester,
this time bound for the Panama Canal, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, Nigeria, Senegal, Morocco,
Spain. Portugal, The Netherlands, Denmark, Great Britain and New York.

Plans that could possibly lead
to a pre-Christmas final exami-
nation period for the University
were set in motion at the Stu-
dent Senate meeting Tuesday
evening.
SA President Jerry Hafter
brought the motion before the
Senate for a revision of the
1967-68 school calendar so that
the first semester might begin
and end at an earlier date. The
motion as passed suggested that
first semester classes begin on
August 28 and end December 9,
with the examination period ex-
tending from December 11 to
December 21.
Classes for the second semes-
ter would resume on January 8,
and end on May 4. The motion
will now be presented to the
Faculty Council for administra-
tive consideration.
Tri-Semester
Tish Zumwalt suggested that,
in the future, Rice might begin
a system of grading by quar-
ters, with 3 quarters and 3 ex-
amination periods during the
school year. Although classes
would begin at approximately
the same time they now do, a
set of exams would be taken
before the Christmas holidays,
before the spring vacation, and
the year would end at the same
time it now does.
Because of the changes that
this plan would entail in the
University curriculum, the mat-
ter was referred to an investi-
gative committee for further
study. Committee members are
Tish Zumwalt, Charles Schade,
and Charlie Myers.
Eternal Problem
A suggestion that the Uni-
versity Food Service be catered
by an outside agency was pre-
sented by Charles Shanor.
The plan would be to install
a caterer in the University-
owned facilities.
Jeff Corbin was appointed
chairman of an ad hoc commit-
tee to investigate the feasibility
of such a proposal, to obtain
estimates on the costs involved,
and to report on how such serv-
ices are working at other
schools.
The SA discussed its obliga-
tions financially to the World
University Service, to which it
has promised charitable assist-
ance. It was decided that a
Charity Drive of some sort will
be held this year, and that the
benefits of one of the events
would be given to the Service.
The rest of the money to be
raised is pinpointed for local
charities in the Houston area.
Appointments
In other SA action, appoint-
ments to several standing com-
mittees were made:
Nancy Tips, Rick Gilpin, Nick
Gilliam, and Mark Buehler were
named to the new Traffic and
Parking Appeals Board.
Peter Hollins was named the
new chairman of the Student
Committee on Educational Poli-
cy, and Carol Starr was appoint-
ed chairman of the Student
Committee on Admission Policy.
Bill Schnitt was named the
Texas Intercollegiate Scholas-
tic Association district chair-
man.
Mike Wood and Tom Bertrand
were named members of the
committee to investigate possi-
bilities for a chartered flight to
Europe for Rice students.
