Volume 22 Number 69 September 26, 1997 ____ Pages 9569-9722 This month’s front cover artwork: Artist: Pedro Torres 10th Grade Zapata High School School children’s artwork has decorated the blank filler pages of the Texas Register since 1987. Teachers throughout the state submit the drawings for students in grades K- 12. The drawings dress up the otherwise gray pages of the Texas Register and introduce students to this obscure but important facet of state government. We will display artwork on the cover of each Texas Register. The artwork featured on the front cover is chosen at random. The artwork is published on what would otherwise be blank pages in the Texas Register. These blank pages are caused by the production process used to print the Texas Register. The artwork does not add additional pages to each issue and does not increase the cost of the Texas Register. For more information about the student art project, please call (800) 226-7199.
