You might even find yourself in , the middle of a show at the Arneson River Theater, the unique open-air theater which has the audience seated on earthen tiers on one side of the river with the mission·style stage on the other side. Just a few blocks away from La Villita is the King William district, the residential area settled by German mer· chants, bankers and businessmen in the mid· 19th century. Many of these grand houses have been restored and at least one, the Steves homestead, is open to the public. Horsedrawn carriages tour the down­ town and convention center areas. There are also several companies which schedule tours of varying lengths and sights. Just to the west of the center city is EI Mercado, the old marketplace. Re· built to new grandeur, it still retains the ambiance of south-of-the-border markets, but with the added facilities of a com­ munity center for fiestas, meetings, res­ taurants, shops and cantinas. And there is still a farmers' market. On the eastern edge of downtown is HemisFair Plaza, site of the 1968 World's Fair. Notable among these buildings are the Convention Center and the Arena (home of the Spurs, San Antonio's NBA basketball team); the Tower of the Americas, with its revolving restaurant; the Lila Cockrell Theater for the Per· forming Arts; and the University of Texas' Institute of Texas Cultures. All these facilities are within walking dis­ tance of the headquarters (Hyatt) hotel. San Antonio weather in January is The Alamo - Shrine of Texas liberty.

Last year, 513,675 labeis were collected for the Campbell's "Labels for Education" program.

Since that time, Campbell's has awarded over $20 million worth of equipment to ap· proximately 69,000 U. S. schools for diligently saving their soup labels. In 197B, when the Institute became a participant in the program, the staff collected a grand total of 8,250 iabels.

The Institute of Logopedics provides comprehensive programs for children and adults with handicaps in which the ability to communicate is impaired. In 1964, the Society for the Preservation and Encourilgement of BarberShop Quartet Singing in America adopted the Institute as their Unified Service Project and formed their slogan, 'We Sing ... That They Shall Speak." Through the years, awarm relationship has developed between the special children at the Institute and the choruses, quartets, and audiences that enjoy the unique Barbershop harmony Members and friends of the Society have contributed over $5 million to the Institute.

1984 marks the 50th Anniversary of the founding of the Institute of Logopedics, and the 25th Anniversary of the Holiday Greeting Card Project.
