Furniture designs win national prizes University students won awards for the first time since 1974 at the biannual International Wood working Fair held in Louisville. Kentucky September 10-14. The exposition, primarily tor commercial entries, also hosted a section for student compe tition in which interior architecture majors Michael McDonald and Martha Clarkson entered their designs.
