Ken Burmeister, former Assis¬ tant coach at the University of Arizona, was named the new men's tesketball coach at The University of Texas at San An¬ tonio, Athletic Director Jim Skaines announced at a Mar. 26 press conference.
Burmeister, 38, who was voted the top assistant coach in the na¬ tion in 1984-85 by Basketball Times, is known for his successful recruiting ability ^and for his stress on academics. He graduated from St. Mary's University in 1971.
UTSA will be Burmeister's first collegiate head coaching job. A native of Twin Lakes, Wiscon¬ sin, Burmeister began his profes¬ sional coaching career at St. Bondventure High School in Sturtev&nt, Wisconsin and at Richland, Wisconsin Junior Col¬ lege. He then moved to Northern Arizona University where he earned a master's degree in 1974. He was an assistant under Bob LeGrand at UT Arlington tefore joining Lute Olser's staff at Iowa. He was the recruiting coordinator at Arizona for three years before joining the UTSA staff.
"I'm very excited about the op¬
portunity to put my own ideas in¬ to the program here at UTSA, " Burmeister said. "It will be a big challenge stepping into the Roadrunner program, but I'm ready to get started. My im¬ mediate goal is to make sure tlie present players are attending class. Then, I plan to recruit every good player in the San An¬ tonio area and not lose them to other schools. "
Burmeister's success as a recruiter is known nationwide as he has recruited numerous NBA players including Gregg Stokes (Philidelphia 76ers), Bobby Hansen (Utah Jazz). Pete Williams (Denver Nuggets) and Ronnie Lester (Los Angeles Lakers). His recruiting classes at Iowa and Arizona have been in the top 10 nationally as rated by
Associated    Press Press International.
and    United
He was also instrumental in turning around failing programs at UT Arlington and Arizona. Arizona was 1-17 in the PAC-ltt before Olsen and Burmeister ar¬ rived in 1983. In 1984-85, the Wildcats were second in the con^ ference and won the PAC-10 this past season. He has been involved in the NCAA playoffs at Arizona and luwa six of the last seven years.
"We are thrilled to have a talented coach like Ken Burmeister join the UTSA athletic staff, " UTSA Athletic director Jim Skaines said. "We anticipate he'll bring the type of student-athlete to UTSA that will represent us in a quality manner and will help us win the Trans America Conference title which will get UTSA into the NCAA playoffs for the first time.

The exhibition will consist of a wide ran^e of architectural draw¬ ings—loose sketches and render¬ ings, fine working drawings and highly finished construction documents—that_will provide an overview of the architectural s|ylea. both the practical and the emetic, found in this city. As well, photographs of the ar¬ chitects, their notes and letters and other related items, gathered from public and private collec¬ tions, will te on view.
Among the projects exhibited will te the Bexar County Cour¬ thouse, the Smith Young Tower, the Medical Arts Building, the Municipal Auditorium, Joske's department store and private residences.   The   architects
featured either practiced in or were from San Antonio and will include James Riely Gordon, who designed 16 Texas courthouses; Paris-trained Ralph Cameron; the father-Son partnership of Atlee B. Ayre' and Robert M. Ayres; llob<(i't H.H. Hugmani the River-

"For the most part, the ex¬ hibition was designed to incre^e awareness of San Antonio ar¬ chitecture," said its organizer. Assistant Professor, Leonard Lane, who coordinates UTSA's architecture program. "After all.
raise the consciousness of ar¬ chitects and the public to the fact that a very fine collection of ar¬ chitectural drawings exist that are pieces of art in and of themselves and should be catalogued and preserved rather than shoved away in a drawer. Finally, many of us dont realize the rich detail of many of the city's buildings because we cant scrutinize them on a day-to-day
basis. These drawings will help the viewer see the
embellishments, the detail and the great care that went into the design of our best landmarks."
The exhibition, which closes Ju¬ ly 3. was organized to coincide with the national convention ot the American Institute of Ar¬ chitects convening in San An¬ tonio June 8-12.
The UTSA Art Teaching Gallery is located in the Arts Building on the UTSA campus. Hours are 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and on Sundays. Admission to both the Gallery and to the opening recep¬ tion is free and open to the public.
