ON CAMPUS is published by the Office of Public Affairs for The University of Texas at Austin community. Publication is monthly during the academic year, except holiday periods. Text from On Campus may be reprinted as long as credit is given. Landscape architect, visual artist chosen to redesign Tower Garden Landscape architect Eleanor H. McKinney and visual artist Jill Bedgood have been appointed by Dr. Larry R. Faulkner, president of The University of Texas at Austin, to work as a team in the design of a memorial and its surroundings at the campus area known as the Tower Garden.
McKinney and Bedgood will strive to find ways to preserve the integrity of current uses for the site while also creating a space for an appropriate memorial. The garden is used for teaching and research but also is a popular site for members of the university community and visitors to rest, study, enjoy the greenery and ponds and to engage in quiet reflection or conversation. Dedication of the memorial in the Tower Garden is planned for Aug. 1, 2003, the 37th anniversary of the tragic shooting event.

Citing the need to remain competitive in retaining and attracting outstanding faculty and staff, President Larry R. Faulkner unveiled a 3.25 percent salary increase pool for university employees. Faulkner’s guidelines for merit salary increases, announced on Feb. 22, were outlined in a budget management meeting with department managers in the Texas Union theater. “In order to accommodate this increase during these challenging economic times,” he said, “we have had to stretch our budget and defer some important non-salary activities. However, we must remain competitive in retaining and attracting high-quality faculty and staff who make this one of the nation’s leading public universities.
