Masonry Institute of Michigan Sponsors Student Design Competition
Julia Braverman of Detroit and Ralph "Dusty Rhoads of Troy are the top winners in the 1979 Masonry Design Competition sponsored by the Masonry Institute of Michigan for upperclass students in the School of Architecture at Lawrence Institute of Technology. Juries of professional architects from the Detroit area selected Ms. Braverman's entry as the best in the senior class and Rhoads' as No. 1 in the junior competition. The first-place awards are worth $250 each. In all, 12 students shared $1,050 in cash prizes which were presented at the annual Masonry Awards Banquet held on January 19 at the Engineering Society of Detroit. This year, the senior students were asked to design a low-rise residential complex consisting of 20 units of mixed single-family and multiple housing. The juniors were assigned to design an office building to serve as headquarters for the Masonry Institute. Posing with the winning building models are (top, from left) Karl Greimel, dean of the LIT School of Architecture: Ms. Braverman, and Francis Costella, treasurer of the Masonry Institute.

Unlikely Contact:
Early in his career, Winston Churchill sported a mustache. At a dinner party, he was holding forth with vigor on politics, when a matronly woman said to him, "I dislike both your politics and your mustache." "Don't distress yourself, my dear lady." Churchill replied. "You are unlikely to come into contact with either."
Bears and Goats
If Smokey the Bear wasn't enough, Family Weekly tells us the Federal government has a new animal ally in its war against forest fires-goats. The goats were used in a two-year experiment to keep wildland firebreaks east of San Diego clear by chewing up brush. The Forest Service says the program was such a crunching success that it's tripling the size of the herd.
