been added to the schedule for third-year men. This will be carried out under the guidance of a second instructor.
To qualify for this apprentice school, those interested must apply to the apprenticeship committee, sign the prescribed indenture papers with the State of California, be between the ages of 18 and 31 as required by Federal law, and be employed by a masonry contractor.
If not employed, the committee will help place that person so that he can qualify. All those selected by B.M.& P.I.U. #9, under the direction of business manager Dan Pickens, are admitted on a non-discriminatory basis since the union is an equal opportunity organization.
The apprentices will complete 144 hours of apprenticeship school a year for a three-year period while being employed in the bricklaying industry. Upon completion of this schooling and work period, they will become qualified bricklayer journeymen.
BM&PIU Establishes Architectural Award Memorializing Louis Sullivan
The "Louis Sullivan Award for Architecture"-a biennial award honoring a practicing U.S. or Canadian architect whose work in masonry exemplifies the ideals and accomplishments of one of America's greatest architects-has been established by the Bricklayers, Masons & Plasterers International Union.
The award program will be administered by The American Institute of Architects. A $5,000 prize accompanies the award.
This is the first national award memorializing Sullivan, who in the late 19th century designed buildings in Chicago and other cities that are recognized as landmarks in American architecture. Historian Henry Steele Commager called Sullivan "the most remarkable figure in the history of American architecture between Jefferson and Frank Lloyd Wright... the father (or at least the godfather) of modern American architecture."
The first Louis Sullivan Award will be made this year. Announcement of the award program is being mailed by AIA to all registered architects practicing in the U.S. and Canada.
In 1970, the BM&PIU established a Thomas Jefferson Award for Architecture, which was won that year by Ulrich Franzen, FAIA. Subsequently, the Union decided to change the name of the Jefferson Award to avoid confusion with the pre-existing Thomas Jefferson Medal of the University of Virginia. The Jefferson Award is now reconstituted as the Louis Sullivan Award.
The first winner of the Louis Sullivan Award will be announced this summer, and the award will be bestowed at the BM&PIU convention in September.
