Human sciences students
get taste of Big Apple
Human Sciences students, faculty
and friends recently returned from a
Fashion Merchandising Study Tour
of New York City. In addition to
informative sessions with retailers
and designers, the group visited the
Costume Library at the Fashion Insti-
tute of Technology, the New York
office for the Texas Mohair Council,
the World Trade Center, Wall Street
and a number of tourist sites.
"The entire 6-day visit was packed
with informative appointments, grand
sights to see, Broadway shows, mu-
seums and new friends to be met,"
says Dr. Linda Jones, who heads the
Human Sciences? department.
Thedepartment sponsors the study
tour every two years, "Students get
a real insight into the world of fash-
ion and potential employment, as well
as a cultural experience," Dr. Jones
said.
In other department develop-
ments, plans are being reviewed for a
new playground for the laboratory
Child Development Center in Hu-
man Sciences. The current play-
ground was built in 1978 for 12 stu-
dents. More than twice that number
of children now use the facility which
functions as a laboratory for Child
Development, Interdisciplinary Stu-
dents, Physical Education and Span-
ish. "The need for more space, as
well as a developmentally appropri-
ate playground has emerged," Dr.
Jones said. The proposed new play-
ground will be beside Wisdom Gym
between the entrances to Human Sci-
ences and Military Science.
Also, a new program is being
launched in dietetics. Graduates in
this area, she says, have excellent job
prospects in the areas of community
education, research or as part of a
medical team in prescribing thera-
peutic or pre ventative eating patterns.
Janet Miles-Maestas heads the pro-
gram.

Education graduates earn top honors
Special to the J-TAC
Three education majors have been
chosen as the 1995 recipients of the
Robert H. Elliott Memorial award.
Misty Riebock and Morgan Cameron-
Jones both of Stephenville and
Leeann Woodall, Hubbard, received
the award which recogn izes outstand-
ing efforts in the classroom.
Riebock, an exercise and sports
studies major, received the second-
ary education award. A native of
Brookhaven, Miss., Mrs. Riebock did
her student teaching in the Eastland
ISD.
For the first time since the award
was created, there was a tie for the
elementary education selection.
Cameron-Jones and Woodall shared
the award and both did their student
teaching in the Glen Rose ISD.
All three earned bachelor degrees
during spring graduation.
Elliott spent many years as an
educator and administrator in Colo-
rado. He was a member of the TSU
Department of Education and Psy-
chology from 1981 until his death in
1990. Through a long and distin-
guished career, Elliott supported the
notion that "the primary purpose of
the school was to serve the learning
and developmental needs of children
and adolescents." according to a
school spokesman.
The award was developed by his
friends and colleagues in memory of
his enthusiasm for education and his
devotion to students. It is presented
after each student teaching session to
recognize students who exemplify
Elliott's beliefs and dedication.
