Nolan, Jr. as chairman of a committee to develop plans for the program, to be submitted to the NMSA Board of Directors. Of the three major areas in which the competence of a candidate for architectural registration may be verified - namely, education, experience and examina­ tion - only the experience area has lacked a formal means of evaluation. To correct this deficiency, the Intern-Architect Development Program (lDP) has been created. The principal sponsors of the IDP are the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards and the American Institute of Architects. NCARB is responsi­ ble for administering the program.

He contributed significantly to the ordiances formu­ lating Albuquerque's Landmarks and Urban Conser­ vation Commission and became its first Chairman. He has held various AlA offices pertaining to historic preservation, and serves on the Board of Advisors of the j ational Trust for Historic Preservation. As the first architect to serve on the Liturgical Arts Commis­ sion of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, Pearl has convinc­ ed the Church of the great importance of its unique heritage of colonial and ter ritorial churches and has caused many of these buildings to be resto red or preserved. In nom inating Geo rge Pea rl for the Fellowship, UNM Architect Van dorn Hooker spoke for the ar­ chitectural community when he said, "I felt very strongly that he was the one person in New Mexico George Clayton Pearl of Albuquerque has been most deserving of this recognition bestowed by his elected to the College of Fellows of The American In­ fellow architects." E. H.B. stitute of Architects. Fellowship is a lifetime honor bestowed for notable contribution to the profession. (All Fellows of AlA may use the initials FAIA after their names.) In­ vestitu re of the newly elected Fellows will take place on June 2 at the AlA's ational Convention in Cincin­ nati, Ohio. Pearl, since 1957 partner in charge of design in the firm of Stevens, Mallory, Pearl and Campbell, has designed several hundred projects and received more than 25 design awards. Pearl's buildings are notable for their harmony between contemporary and tradi­ tional architectural forms, and have been an impor­ tant influence in the Southwest on the evolution of the aca demic regionalism of the pre-World War II period into a con tem pora ry regional style based on sensitivity to cultu re and to climate. The Albuquerque Public Library of 1974, at Copper Avenue between 5th and 6th Streets, is a powerful composition of volumes which create dramatic effects of light and shade on the exterior and gives a variety of spaces with sensitive use of natural light on the in­ terior. The 1978 Acoma-Laguna-Canoncito Hospital on the Acoma reservation west of Albuquerque utilizes a major act ive-solar mechanical system while achiev­ ing a recognizably traditional architectural quality.
