Ronnie Lott and Mary Margaret Monarch, editors for the 1968-69 La Ventana, present Dean Killion
with a replica of the Tyme magazine cover in a surprise dedication ceremony during a Tech
basketball game.

"Man with the Gear"

DEAN KILLION

Puts Band in High Gear

Dean Killion has the "gear" to be
"Man of the Year!" He is the director
of the multi-sectioned Tech Band.

He was "geared" for music through
early training. Killion did his under-
graduate work at the University of
Nebraska and his graduate study in the
field of music at the University of
Ohio. He taught band at several
Nebraska public schools and later at
the University. Before coming to Tech
in 1959, Killion was Director of Band
at Fresno State University in Califor-
nia.

Killion has been guest director and
clinician in summer band camps all
over the United States and has been
a band judge in international contests.

The musical "gear" of the Tech
Band is composed of a 400 member
marching band, four concert bands,
and two stage bands.

Dean Killion started with a single
band of 90 determined musicians. His
leadership and their determination
have created a seven band network.
The Tech band has received national
and regional acclaim for television
performances and halftime shows.
The "man with gear" has created a
"band with gear"!

Band members Jim Stivcns aiul l.con Long present Killion with a color portrait of "The Man of
the Year" as a token of the group's appreciation.

A letter from the
PUBLISHER

In 1959 an idea was born that has
become a way of life for those who-
work on La Ventana. That idea was
presented by W. E. Carets, head of the
journalism department. Mr. Carets
reasoned that a yearbook divided into
12 magazines would have more appeal
on campus and would provide workers
with better training.

That was 11 years ago and now
the La Ventana is recognized across the
collegiate land as an innovator.

Down through the years La Ven-
tana, because of its great flexibility,
has attempted to reflect our changing
world. This past year is no exception.
From the name change fight" to dorm
housing to another near miss in SWC
football, our staff has attempted to
present a comprehensive view of his-
tory as it was made this year.

Due to the fact that fall registra-
tion is to begin the last week in Au-
gust, deadlines for this year's book had
to be pushed up one month in order
to deliver on time. This has made a
hard job even harder.

This year's staff has been an out-
standing one — probably our best ever.
To them and to all the others who
shared in the planning, production and
distribution of La Ventana 1969, we
offer thanks.

But especially to you, the reader
and subscriber, go our thanks. Thanks
for buying the book and thanks for al-
lowing us to put you in it.

SIGMA
DELTA CHI

Literary Tradition

"Traditional and functional" de-
scribes Sigma Delta Chi, national pro-
fessional journalism society for men.

The Tech tradition began with its
campus founding in 1958. It is open
to male journalism majors or minors
maintaining a high grade point aver-
age and an interest in the field of
journalism. The growing chapter
doubled in size since last year.

Sigma Delta Chi has established a
tradition through the years of sponsor-
ing the annual contests to choose Miss
Playmate and Miss Mademoiselle. Over
250 Tech girls vied for the title in 1969.
Linda Baker, Dallas sophomore, was
crowned Miss Mademoiselle, and Judy
Lightfoot, Lubbock junior, was chosen
Miss Playmate. Both girls were hon-
ored in the La Ventana. The proceeds
of the contest went to a special scholar-
ship fund which aids male journalism
students.

In charge of this year's Sigma
Delta Chi functions was Ronnie Lott,
president. Assisting him were Tom
Love, vice president; Burk Whitten-
burg, secretary; and Gary Stephenson,
treasurer.

Another tradition sponsored and
initiated by Sigma Delta Chi is a
special edition newspaper which sa-
lutes 15 outstanding faculty members.

This year Sigma Delta Chi spon-
sored Darrel Thomas, photography
director for the La Ventana, in a na-
tional contest in which he won top
honors.

Judy Lightfoot, Lubbock junior, was chosen
as Miss Playmate for 1969 in the annual
contest.

"// you have it, flaunt it"

coveted title and fashionable spot on the cover of Mademoiselle in the La Ventana.

INFORMATION
SERVICES

Public Relations

Keeping Texas Tech on the map
is the duty of the Division of Infor-
mation Services. Their public infor-
mation bulletins are released nation-
ally and continually.

This year the Division of Infor-
mation Services began a series of TV
documents produced by Donna Axum,
information specialist, to provide cam-
pus news with a feature angle to area
viewers. She also gave spot reports
on Tech news on various radio broad-
casts throughout the year.

John Petty, acting director, has
the continuous job of informing the
world about constantly progressing
Tech. Petty is assisted by other news
publications and photographic bu-
reaus. The division is composed of
19 persons who write, publish, and
distribute news stories to students,
faculty, and other interested parties
on a national and international basis.

Dan Tarpley, in charge of news
releases; Jerry Kelly, publications
manager; Judy Luker, secretary; Ellis

Finch, head photographer and seven
student employees make up the staff.
Some of the duties of the divi-
sion include publishing the campus
directory, campus maps, "Tech
Times," "Icasal Newsletters," and
"Texas Tech Reports." The division
is also in charge of conducting public
relations tours of the Tech campus.

PUBLICATIONS

ACTION ANNUAL

Yearbook Tells Story

"Tech — Where the action is!"
The action of Texas Tech is covered
in the 1969 La Ventana, one of the
largest publications in the nation.

This year the action-minded co-
editors, selected on the basis of past
experience, were Mary Margaret Mon-
arch and Ronnie Lott.

Lott, a senior from Roswell, New-
Mexico, served the 1967 La Ventana
as editor of Tyme and Sports Illus-
trated and was co-editor of the 1968.
Miss Monarch, a senior from Alvin,
was the past editor of Post magazine.

Each section editor strived this
year to have his magazine resemble its
namesake as much as possible. The
traditional magazine format of the
La Ventana was introduced in 1959
by W. E. Carets, head of the journal-
ism department.

Tyme, edited by Carol Cloyd,
started off the Tech action with the
dedication of the yearbook. Included
in this section are the various relig-
ious, music, and military groups.

Mademoiselle, edited by Elaine
Saul, and Playboy, edited by Donna
Johnstone, show much of the Tech
action with the presentation of both
the women and men's organizations.
Highlights of these magazines are the
Top Ten Beauties and Miss Playmate.

The real "hot" action of Tech is
exhibited in Sports Illustrated. Edi-
tor Jimmy Snowden and his staff
strived for the best factual coverage
of each athletic event.

Life magazine showed the every-
day action of the Tech campus with

Post, under the supervision of
Sheila Looney, brought attention to
those students who stood at the
heights of Tech action as well as cov-
ering the Craduate School and the
School ot Arts and Sciences and Edu-
cation. In this section Who's Who in
American Colleges and Universities
and student government were featured.

Town and Country, edited by
Peggy Tipton, and Future, edited by
Tom Scott, presented the Schools of
Agriculture, Home Economics, Busi-
ness, Engineering and Law on the
campus, along with the chairman from

each department and the various
members of the faculty.

The last section in the La Ventana
are the class views. The editors were
Christy Chapman, Freshman View;
Carol Cloyd, Sophomore View; Peggy
Tipton, Junior View; and Barbara
Hansen, Senior View.

THE PRESS

THE UD: WIDE APPEAL

With its enrollment of over 19.
000 students. Texas Tech has equal
or better the population of many
towns in Texas. Providing this col-
lege town with not only the news of
the school, but also with local, state,
national, and international news is
the task of the University Daily.

For many of its readers, the
University Daily provides the better
part of the news which they receive
each day. It has been in keeping
with this increasing responsibility
that the University Daily has enlarged
its coverage of the news.

As a copy editor and news edi-
tor last year, Bill Seyle has returned
to this year's staff in the position of
editor. The position is filled on the
recommendation of the Student Pub-
lications Committee. The editor then
chooses his staff.

Chosen for the staff positions
were Gary Shultz and I^ane Arthur,
managing editors; Jean Fannin, news
editor; Lynn Green, editorial assist-
ant; Casey Charness, fine arts edi-
tor; Mike Phelan, sports editor; Dave
Ammons, assistant sports editor; Rich-
ard Mays, photographer; Larry
Check, George Proctor, Nancy Fire-
baugh, Lynn Williams, and Gordon
Zeigler, copy editors; Jerry Reese, ad-
vertising manager; and Benny Tur-
ner, sports writer.

As well as developing technical
ability, Bill Seyle feels that working
on the staff teaches one a lesson
about people. "People will lie. You
don't come out of working on a paper
as naive as you go in."

Before a student can be a mem-
ber of the University Daily staff,
some experience is needed. As a pre-

and distinguished personalities find
their way to the front page.

The first inside page of the paper
is usually devoted to editorials. Stu-
dent editorials are accepted on this
page and are printed as long as they
are in keeping with acceptable jour-
nalistic ethics.

Art and music take their share
of importance when performances are
covered and reviewed, and personali-
ties with artistic talent are given no-
tice with interviews and feature
stories.

Sports are a big part of the life
on the Tech campus and are there-
fore given full coverage. Games and
players make news along with the
student body that supports them.

In order to get the paper to the
students, staff members sometimes
work till 4:30 in the morning before
they "put the paper to bed." This
makes the news in the University
Daily timely, and thereby adds to its
importance to the Tech students.

In order to give this coverage
and leadership, the editor and his
staff try to talk to as many people as
possible and participate in a number
of activities. This not only gives the
individual valuable training and expe-
rience but also provides the knowl-
edge needed to print a daily paper.

THE BAND

Music Complex

The ^^Millions"

"Killion's Millions" is fast be-
coming the new nickname of the
many-membered Tech Band complex.

The complex consists of a 400-
member marching band, four concert
bands, and two stage bands.

Dean Killion, band director and
Tech's "Man of the Year," started in
1959 with a struggling bunch of 90
musicians. In his 10 years at Tech, he
has created a seven band network
which is now the sound sensation of
the Southwest Conference.

Killion has studied music at the
University of Nebraska and has done
graduate work at the University of
Iowa. Before coming to Tech, Killion
taught band and music at various
Nebraska public schools and later at
the University. He was also the Di-
rector of Band at Fresno State Uni-
versity in California. He has been a
music judge, clinician, and guest
speaker at band camps and schools
all over the U.S. His training and
ability enabled him to coordinate over
450 individuals into an effective work-
ing unit. "Perfection is our goal,"
Dean Killion claims.

The musical unit has marched in
the Gator Bowl and the Sun Bowl.
They have received national awards
and recognition. During football sea-
son, the marching band is required
to practice every day. During the rest
of the year, they keep in tune with
practice three days a week. The con-
cert band practices daily during their
spring concert season.

This practice resulted in several
invitational performances throughout
the year. The marching band marched
in the Texas Inaugural Parade in
Austin by personal invitation from
Governor Preston Smith. The concert
band was the honor band at the in-
auguration ceremony.

Besides this special trip, the
marching band also travelled to Waco
and Houston to perform at the half-
time shows during the Baylor and
Rice games.

Several reasons not to miss band
practice are Tech's sparkling major-
etes. Their routines for halftime in-
cluded high baton tosses, fire baton
twirling, and tricky baton exchanges.
The girls also perform at the pep
rallies. This year's head majorette

was Donna Snyder, a senior in edu-
cation from Dallas. Other twirlers
were: Janice Jones, Lubbock senior;
Patsy Kempson, Dumas sophomore;
Pam Kerr, Muleshoe junior; Diane
Lovelace, Farwell junior; Barbara
Specht, New Braunfels sophomore;

Sheila Watkins, Waxahachie junior;
Debbie Wright, Tahoka freshman;
and Barbaar Zimmerman, Oklahoma
City, Okia. junior.

In addition to the baton of Dean
Killion are the batons of the student
drum majors who lead the band on

the field. This year's drum majors
were Kappa Kappa Psi members Jim
Irvin, Lubbock senior, and Phi Mu
Alpha member Chris King, graduate
student. These boys also assisted in
the actual teaching, arranging, and
drilling of the band members for the
halftime shows.

In the spring limelight are the
four 100-member concert bands. The
main concert band is under the baton
of Dean Killion. This group made a
West Texas tour giving concerts at
various Panhandle high schools. Their
journeys are instrumental in recruit-
ing Tech students and band members.

The other three concert bands
were conducted by Anthony Brittin
and Richard Tolley, both assistant
professors in the music department.
All the concert bands participated in
three annual Lubbock functions. The
first was the Annual Festival of Con-
temporary Music, which is a music
symposium. They also performed in
the Spring Concert in April and the
May Pops Concert. They gave a series
of free concerts open to students, fac-
ulty, and Lubbock citizens.

The concert bands were invited
to play at the Texas Music Educators
Association Convention in San An-
tonio.

The Tech band complex would
not be complete without the stage
bands. The two stage bands were di-
rected by Joel Leach and John Far-
rell, music instructors. Each January
these bands make a specia 1 West
Texas tour playing at various high
schools. The bands played at Dad's
Day reception and regularly for Lub-
bock club and community functions.

The Tech Band's success is de-
pendent on competent instruction in

music. Specializing in the training of
brass instrumentalists was Richard
Tolley, Anthony Brittin, and Robert
Deahl. In the area of woodwind de-
velopment were Darrel McCarty and
Orlan Thomas. Double reed students
learned from Charles Meeks. Joel
Leach is the instructor of the percus-
sion section. Dr. Margaret Redcay
teaches the flute. The staff agrees
with Dean Killion that the main goal
for "Killion's Millions" is perfection.

and TCU fans.

ference. Band members march daily to achieve perfection.

KAPPA KAPPA

PS I
Band Backbone

The duties of Kappa Kappa Psi.
national honorary band fraternity,
start before pre-school marching
band rehearsals in the fall and con-
tinue at a breakneck pace until the
beginning of finals in the spring.

Kappa Kappa Psi, along with its
sister sorority Tau Beta Sigma, are
responsible for training incoming
freshmen in the marching and playing
styles unique to the Tech band.

With the arrival of upperclass-
men for band rehearsals. Kappa
Kappa Psi turns its attention to the
chores which keep the "Goin' Band
from Raiderland" goin' — such as
maintenance of the practice field and
public address system, emergency in-
strument repairs, and supplying water
to visiting bands and the Tech band
at all home games. When the band
takes a trip, the fraternity is respon-
sible for the care and handling of
equipment.

Also in the fall. Kappa Kappa
Psi organizes a trip to an out-of-
town game not attended by the band.
The trip, open to interested bands-
men, is made aboard the "Blue
Goose" — the fraternity's bus which
also supplies band members with
transportation to pep rallies and bas-
ketball games. This year the frater-
nity travelled to see Tech beat A&M.

Various social activities were
hosted throughout the year, highlight-
ed by the fraternity's Homecoming
Banquet and the spring Band Ban-
quet. Also sponsored by the frater-
nity were the "Outstanding Bands-
man" and "Band Sweetheart" con-
tests.

One of the semester's most im-
portant activities is the series of re-
cruiting trips to area schools to in-
terest high school band members in
becoming a part of the Tech Band
and, if they are chosen, a part of Kappa
Kappa Psi. Members are chosen on
the basis of their ability and desire
to work for the Tech Band.

MU PHI
EPSILON

Sisters in Song

United by song and sisterhood are
the members of Mu Phi Epsilon, the
international professional ' music sor-
ority for music majors, minors, and
music specialization students.

Founded at Tech in 1952, Mu Phi
Epsilon's primary objective has been
to promote and serve the Tech Depart-
ment of Music. The sorority offers its
members not only a chance to do ad-
vanced music but also a chance to be
part of a close sisterhood.

Led this year by president Julie
Ryan, the Mu Phi Epsilon sisters have
been busy on and off campus. As one
of their regular duties, the sorority
acts as official hostesses and ushers at
all student and faculty recitals spon-
sored by the music department. They
also usher at Tech Choir and Sym-
phony concerts throughout the year.

As an annual fall project, the sor-
ority sponsors an All-Woman Music
Major reception to introduce new stu-
dents at Tech to Mu Phi Epsilon.

Membership in the group requires
second semester freshman standing
with an overall 2.5 grade average with
a 3.0 in music.

For spring rush activities, the
sisters held a piano recital and tea for
all interested eligible freshman girls.

Each fall Mu Phi Epsilon and Phi
Mu Alpha jointly host a homecoming
reception for alumnae.

The familiar carols of the Christ-
mas season were complemented by the
voices of Mu Phi Epsilon members at
the annual Torch Light Parade cere-
mony at the Carol of Lights.

Assisting Miss Ryan with the
year's projects has been the slate of
1968-69 officers: Sara Peak, vice
president; Julie Richards, secretary;
Linda Hutchins, treasurer; and Judy
Watkins, AWS representative.

In the spring Mu Phi Epsilon
participated in an exchange recital.
Tech's Epsilon Phi chapter annually
gives a recital for an area sister chap-
ter. In return, the neighboring chapter
travels to Lubbock to perform.

Mu Phi Epsilon closed out the
year by performing with Phi Mu Al-
pha at the University Sing and by as-
sisting with the production of Sing
Song.

TAU BETA
SIGMA

Best Supporting Role

Behind every good band is a
wo;-. an! Tau Beta Sigma, national
bam sorority for women, along with
their brother fraternity Kappa Kappa
Psi, work to support and honor the
Tech Band on and off campus.

Tau Beta Sigma began the '68
school year with a party for incoming
freshman members of the band. They
also acted as hostesses at the home-
coming reception for alumni.

Throughout the year Tau Beta
Sigma is responsible for arranging
lodging and transportation for all out-
of-town band trips. This year the Tech
Band performed at two out-of-town
games which the girls worked jointly
with Kappa Kappa Psi to organize.

Their musical talents were utilized
at several ground breaking ceremonies.
Tau Beta Sigma members played at
the services to break ground at the
Fountain, the ICASALS Museum, and
the Architectural and Art Building.

The sorority dedicated a special
monument in front of the Music
Building honoring the Beta chapter of
Tau Beta Sigma as the founding chap-
ter of the national organization.

Tau Beta girls serve as hostesses
for the high school All-Region and All-
State Band contests.

As a Tech chapter project, mem-
bers revised the Tau Beta Sigma Con-
stitution and Pledge Manual. They
initiated 13 new pledges in the spring
semester.

The chapter started plans for
nominating Tech as the site for the
1971 Tau Beta Convention. The pro-
posal will be presented at the National
Convention in August.

Another project was the prepara-
tion of a platform for the feature
drummer, Ed Shaughnessy, for one of
the Tech home football games.

Special spring performances were
at the Shriner's ballgame and at Pres-
ton Smith's inauguration in Austin.
They were also invited as Concert
Band members to play at the Texas
Music Educators Association conven-
tion.

Tau Beta Sigma helped to organ-
ize and publicize the All-Band Concert.
They contributed to the portrait of
Dean Killion, band director, which will
be hung in the band room.

THE CHOIR - SWINGIN' SINGIN'

High Excellence Under Kinney

The Tech Choir, under the dir-
ection of Gene Kinney, has achieved
a high degree of excellence in the
Tech Music Department, at Tech and
in Lubbock.

The personnel of the choir is
limited to fifty and each member
must have a private audition with Mr.
Kinney, director, held each spring
and summer.

The Tech Choir performs an-
nually for civic groups in Lubbock.
This year it combined talents with
the Tech Symphony Orchestra for
a production of Stravinsky's "Sym-
phony of Psalms." The choir also per-
forms publicly with the Monterey High
School Choir.

In March, the choir toured four

slates including Texas, Oklahoma, Kan-
sas and Missouri in a series of singing
engagements. Climaxing the tour, the
Tech Choir appeared before the Music
Educators' National Convention in St.
Louis.

The choir also appeared on cam-
pus by participating in the Carol
of Lights and by presenting its an-
nual Spring Concert. In April, the
Tech Choir performed for the Disciples
of Christ Church Convention held in
Lubbock.

Spring was a singing season for
the Tech Choir. They sang for Tech
at the All College Recognition Cere-
mony. Their last performance was for
the Tech graduates at the June gradu-
ation exercises.

Within the main body of the
choir is a smaller select group of
singers called the Madrigal Singers.
About ten choir members are chosen
each year for the special section.

The Madrigal Singers sang at the
facuhy club meetings throughout the
year. During the Christmas season,
the singers caroled at Hemphill-Wells.
In March, they performed at the
Foreign Language Banquet and tour-
ed the Dallas area giving numerous
concerts.

The Tech Choir also opened the
annual Texas Observance of the Gov-
ernor's Council of Fine Arts in the
Church with a concert of religious
music presented at the Forest Heights
Methodist Church in Lubbock.

The year was climaxed for
the choir with the appearance of Dr.
Howard Hanson conducting the choir,
Tech singers and Symphony Orchestra
in the premiere performance of
"Streams in the Desert," a commis-
sioned work by Dr. Hansen for the
ICASALS Fine Arts program.

ORCHESTRA

Tech's Key Notes

Vitality and variety are the key-
"notes" in the music of the Tech
Symphony Orchestra, the 15-year-old
musical group.

The orchestra has provided musi-
cal entertainment at various campus
functions. They play at the corona-
tion of the homecoming queen, at
presidential functions, and for the
Broadway musical presentations on
campus each year in addition to their
own concerts.

Paul Ellsworth, conductor and
chief initiator of the orchestra, care-
fully selects the members of the
orchestra from Tech music majors
and the student body from auditions.

"This is an organization designed
for education. Its aim is to allow stu-
dents to get a broad education and
acquaintance with the orchestra. It
develops the player in the group and
is not wholly for the entertainment of
the audience," Ellsworth said.

Ellsworth graduated from Co-
lumbia University and studied music
at Northwestern University, American
Conservatory of Chicago, and Hill-
dale College.

Under such able direction, the
orchestra performs seven concerts on
campus each year besides tours and
out-of-town concerts, and two minor
chamber concerts. Different sections

also perform on their own.

On its tours, the orchestra rep-
resents the cultural aspects of Tech
through the performance of the vast
library of musical literature in their
repertoire.

Again this year, the Orchestra
was invited to perform for the Texas
Music Educators' Association. In
February, they performed in San
Antonio and accompanied the All-
State Choir which consists of high
school students chosen from through-
out the state.

The Symphony Orchestra has

from 65 to 75 members. Each pla\er
receives one hour credit per semester
for performing with the orchestra.
They rehearse one hour each day be-
sides special rehearsals before con-
certs and tours.

The hard work paid off in na-
tional recognition and reputation.
This year the orchestra gave a con-
cert in conjunction with the Tech
Choir and a Christmas Children's Con-
cert with the Ballet. In February they
gave a straight orchestral concert with
Europe's finest flutist, Severino Gaz-
zelloni of Italy, as guest soloist.

Paul Ellsworth listens as the violin section of the Tech Orchestra tunes up for another perform-
ance during a daily practice session.

Theta Sigma Phi is the profession-
al fraternity for women in journalism.
The coeds, all majors and minors in
journalism, have a common goal in
their future career. Theta Sigma Phi
helps prepare them for this future.

Theta Sigs celebrate their found-
ing each April with a Matrix Table
banquet jointly held with the profes-
sional Theta Sigma Phi chapter. The
speaker for 1969 was Mrs. Margaret
Moore of Indianapolis, who had re-
ceived a Freedom's Foundation award
in February. Mrs. Moore spoke on the
nationwide crime problem. At the
banquet, held in the Koko Palace,
Jean Fannin was named the Out-
standing Woman Journalist of the
Year.

Other activities included sponsor-
ing the annual Best Dressed Coed
contest. Theta Sigs then sponsored the
winner, Miss Carol Alley, in Glamour
Magazine's nationwide Best Dressed
Coed Contest. Theta Sigs held the an-
nual red balloon sale for the "All
I See Is Red Day" football game with
TCU.

During the spring, Theta Sigs
sponsored the Most Handsome Man
contest. Campus organizations spon-
sored candidates and balloting was
done on a penny-a-vote basis in the
Tech Union. Tom Webster was elected.
First and second runners-up were
Bentley Page and Steve Hardin.
Proceeds from the contest were used
for scholarships given to journalism
majors.

Later in the spring, Theta Sigs
gave awards for the best news story,
editorial, photograph and feature of the
year in the University Daily.

Presiding over Theta Sigma Phi
this year was Cheryl Tarver. Marilyn
Trammell was vice-president; Linda
Bond, secretary; and Krista Stockard,
treasurer. Theta Sig sponsor was Mr.
Harmon Morgan, a member of the
journalism faculty.

In April, Cheryl Tarver and Krista
Stockard were the New York City
Theta Sigma Phi professional chapter's
guests at a three day Career Confer-
ence on various fields of communica-
tion including magazines, public re-
lations, radio, television, and news-
papers.

AIR FORCE
CADET CORPS

Good for America

It's good for America! It's the
Air Force Reserve Officers Training
Corps equipping student cadets for
future service as Air Force officers.

The cadet receives classroom in-
struction in areas of air science, gen-
eral aviation, aerospace study, and na-
tional security.

In addition to this factual knowl-
edge the cadet has the opportunity
to exhibit leadership in actual drill
maneuvers. Coordinating these drills
were the wing commanders Dick
Bowen, fall semester, and John Curtis,
spring semester.

Between the junior and senior
year in the AFROTC program the
cadet attends a four-week summer
camp on an air force base to experi-
ence air force life firsthand.

Those cadets planning to be
future pilots are greatly aided by their
senior year AF activities. Each pilot
candidate receives enough flight train-
ing in a light aircraft to qualify him
for his private pilot's license. This
flight instruction and ground school
is taught by qualified air force pilots
with no charge to the senior cadet.

The AFROTC strived for a well-
rounded future air force officer and
sponsors extracurricular events through-
out the school year. In the fall the

corps devoted many man (and women! )
hours to building a homecoming float
for the parade. To rally the Red Raiders
to victory in football the AFROTC
jointly sponsor a card section with
Army ROTC.

Egg-throwing, relay racing and
picnicking comprised the activities at
the annual AFROTC Field Day held
at MacKenzie Park. Flights compete
against each other in all types of
athletics events.

April is the month of spring
showers, flowers and the Air Force
Military Ball. The cadets honored the
seniors with a special program. The
evening was climaxed by the crowning
of the 1969 Air Force ROTC Queen.
The cadets decided on Susan Searls,
a junior from Marfa, as their reigning
beauty.

The AFROTC, an auxiliary to
the Air Force, also sponsors several
auxiliary groups on campus. The newly
activated Saber Flight is the precision
marching drill for cadets. The unit
was directed by John Valusek in the
fall and by Ron Driggers in the
spring semester. The Sabers were
asked to perform at many functions
on and off campus.

Membership in the Arnold Air
Society, the AFROTC national hon-
orary, is open to cadets maintaining
a 2.50 overall GPA and a 3.0 GPA in
their ROTC courses.

honor from Col. Haynes M. Baumgardner, professor of aerospace studies.

AF Campus Leaders

Arnold Air Society, the honorary
fraternity of Air Force cadets, has the
function of service to the Air Force,
the university, and the community.

As part of the AFROTC recruiting
program, Arnold Air sponsored Pen-
ny-a-Pound Day. The cadets offered
a half-hour ride in a Cessna 177 for
the price of a penny per pound of
the passenger.

Arnold Air were hosts to over
14 brother chapters in their area con-
clave this year. The agenda included
business meetings, seminars, and a
banquet featuring General Aurthur

busy in actively serving Tech,
AFROTC, and the community.

Visiting and entertaining children
at Bailinger School, a home for men-
tally retarded children, has remained
the largest project carried on by
Arnold Air. Besides Tuesday and
Wednesday visits to the school, Arnold
also gave Christmas and Halloween
parties with Angels for the home.

Among other projects, CHAP
(Children Have a Potential) is oper-
ated by AAS. Under this program
paintings are collected and sold to
raise money to support a school for
mentally and physically retarded chil-
dren of Air Force personnel.

Several members of Arnold Air
have been teaching members of the
local Civil Air Patrol on subjects as
aviation, history, theory of flight, elec-
tronics, navigation, and weather. Sup-
port of CAP is another AAS com-
munity service.

The largest undertaking this year
was preparation for the AAS Area G-1
Conclave held in Lubbock. Represent-
atives from other squadrons were pres-
ent from Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas,
and Oklahoma.

The continuing project of the
AAS is the Blood Bank for Tech stu-
dents and faculty.

"California Dreaming" was only
one of the pastimes for Angel Flight,
Tech's drill and service organization
promoting Arnold Air Society,
AFROTC, Tech, and Lubbock.

One of the Angels' spring activi-
ties was a dream trip to Anaheim,
California, for an invitational drill
meet with other U.S. drill teams.

Also this spring several Angels
attended the Angel Flight National
Conclave in New Orleans.

Spring brought in an Angel Style
Show. "Angels in the Heart of
Fashion" was the theme for the
Valentine presentation.

Invitational drill meets kept the
Angels on the march. They were
invited to perform in the Texas
Inaugural Parade in January and the
Mardi Gras in March. They marched
seven miles in the Flambeau Fiesta
Parade in San Antonio.

This year Angels and Arnold Air
Society hosted the Arnold Air-Angel
Area Conclave. Participants from 14
area universities gathered at KOKO Inn
for meetings, seminars, and a special
drill exhibition by Tech Angels.

October found Angels helping
with the AFROTC homecoming float,
marching in the homecoming parade,
and participating in the ROTC card
section.

Angels were angels at Christmas!
They gave a party with Arnold Air for
underprivileged children and sang
carols at the old folks' home.

Throughout the year. Angels have
hostessed pilot graduations and new-
comer receptions at Reese.

molded into Army material

The Army ROTC Corps of Cadets
at Texas Tech is unique among ROTC
units in that it is completely student
operated. The cadets establish their
own functional organizational struc-
ture, perform administrative functions,
supervise, teach, evaluate the operation
of the Corps, and make improvements.
Only constructive criticism is ren-
dered by the faculty of the Department
of Military Science. In such a pro-
gram, leadership is developed to the
full capability of the student. The
cadet is discovered, allowed to per-
form, and developed in detail.

Army ROTC cadets provided in
conjunction with the Air Force ROTC,
the color guards and card sections for
the Tech home football games. They
were in charge of building the largest

Homecoming bonfire in Tech history.
Color guards have also been provided
for local h-gh school football games
and other functions where a display
of patriotism is considered appropri-
ate. Army ROTC plans and conducts
the Presidential Retreats every semester
along with the Air Force ROTC.

The cadets have provided official
honor guards for visiting dignitaries
to Lubbock and Texas Tech. This year
they provided an honor guard for the
President of Chad, the first official
state visitor to Lubbock. Service proj-
ects are also undertaken by the Corps
of Cadets. This year their Christmas
Food Drive presented the Salvation
Army with over 6,000 pounds of food
for needy Lubbock families.

Army ROTC sponsors and parti-

cipates in Texas Tech's rifle, pistol,
and soccer teams. New this year is
the Organization of the MacKenzie
Drum and Bugle Corps, named after
Colonel MacKenzie, a renowned Indian
fighter in this area. The Corps brings
distinction to the college and to it-
self through their contributions to
the community, the college, and. the
students.

The ROTC Brigade Commanders
for this year were Charles K. Morri-
son and James Kay.

The Military Ball, held in March,
used "Up With America" as the theme.

In all their endeavors, the cadets
of Army ROTC are preparing them-
selves to lead others and to accept the
ultimate requirement of national citi-
zenship.

The Double "T" Rifle Team, a
part of the Southwest Rifle Association,
represented Tech against most of the
Southwest Conference Schools in inter-
collegiate shooting matches.

Open to all Tech students interest-
ed in firing a .22 caliber rifle or pis-
tol, the team participated in competi-
tion and exhibitions all over the
Southwest and placed third in the
Southwest Rifle Association Northern
Division. This competition consisted
of six teams of six men each firing
personally, shoulder to shoulder, in the
match.

The rifle team won first place in

the "Master-Expert" team match for
individually firing competitors at the
New Mexico Military Institute at Ros-
well. New Mexico. In conjunction with
the Fourth US Army, the Army ROTC
members on the team formed the
Double "T" ROTC rifle team to
participate in the annual Fourth US
Army matches in El Paso where they
took second place.

Other destinations for competitive
firing included matches at Tarleton
State, Hardin Simmons, and Mid-
western State. During the 1968-69 year
four matches were held in Lubbock.

The team lost first place to the
VFW by three points in the South

To gain skill in the tactics used
in warfare is the mission of the Texas
Tech Counterguerrilla Unit, one of the
extracurricular units of the Tech Army
ROTC.

Recognized offically by the Fourth
United States Army and sponsored by
the Tech Army ROTC, the Counter-
guerrillas began organization with a
group of cadets from the ROTC
brigade in Fall, 1964.

In its fifth year on the Tech
campus, the unit has trained many
cadets for careers or temporary enlist-
ments as Army officers, commissioned
or non-commissioned.

The training is both physical and
mental. The unit members receive
instructional lectures in night classes
and practical drills on the week-ends.
These drill exercises consist of practice
in patrolling, small unit warfare,
weapons, demolitions, hand-to-hand
combat, bayonet training, first aid,
communications, map and compass
and rapelling techniques.

The Counterguerrilla Unit se-
lected new members from interested
Army and Air Force cadets in the
fall and spring. The new cadet
members are required to be subject to
a three week trial period in which
candidates are given lectures in mili-
tary areas and rigorous physical
training. At the close of this trail
testing, the cadets must pass a written
as well as a physical examination. As
a final requirement. Grunts, as the
inexperienced cadets are called, must
appear before a board of active
members for interviews. The active
roster boasted 48 members this year.

During the year competitive
practice drill exercises were scheduled
with similar units from other area
colleges, and with various Armed
Force Reserve Units in Lubbock.
Besides their regular drill, the
Counterguerrillas held extra weapons
firings at Reese Air Force Base.

The unit underwent federal in-
spection in March. The Counterguer-
rillas practiced and briefed for weeks
before the visit. The inspection exhibi-
tion consisted of demonstrations by
various cadets in techniques of "free-
falling," hand-to-hand combat, and
weapon skill.

SCABBARD
AND BLADE

Elite of ROTC

Scabbard and Blade is a national
military honor society founded in
1904. The society is divided into com-
panies which are located at 187 col-
leges and universities having ROTC
programs. Today there are over
107,000 members, represented in all
branches of the Armed Forces.

Tech's unit of Scabbard and Blade
is Company D of the 11th Regiment.
Membership in D-11 is by invitation
only — and those selected for pledge-
ship must complete rigorous training in
tactics, drill and physical exercise. At
present there are 35 members of Scab-
bard and Blade at Tech who are direct-
ed in their many activities by their
faculty sponsor. Major Gilbert H.
Schumpert, an alumnus of the Scab-
bard and Blade company at Oklahoma
State University.

Among Scabbard and Blade's
activities are the sponsoring of the
following events within the Army
ROTC Corps of Cadets: the Combat
Ball, the Military Ball, the Christmas
Food Drive, the Cadet-Cadre Golf
Tournament, the high school recruiting
program, and Cadet of the Week,
Month and Semester Award.

D-11 is especially proud of the
Christmas Food Drive which this year
raised over 6,200 pounds of food for
the Salvation Army.

The officers of Scabbard and
Blade are: Jay Todd Shields, Captain
(president); James S. Kay, 1st Lt.
(vice president) ; Rodney A. Bray,
2nd Lt. (treasurer) ; and John H.
Wheeler, 1st Sgt. (secretary). This
year's Sweetheart of Scabbard and
Blade is Miss Angella Clement, who
was also chosen as the Queen of the
1968-1969 Military Ball.

Members of Scabbard and Blade
must be in the upper 10% of their
ROTC class, have a 2.5 overall aver-
age, and obtain the approval of the
professor of military science and their
academic dean. In addition to their
special projects for the Cadet Corps
and the community — the members
of Scabbard and Blade, the elite of
the ROTC advanced course program,
are privileged to attend meetings at
which programs on military subjects
are given by guest speakers in addition
to numerous banquets and parties.

TYRIAN
RIFLE TEAM

Weapon Champions

The Army ROTC Tyrian Rifles
Team is an extracurricular organiza-
tion for members of Army ROTC who
wish to improve themselves through
physcial conditioning and the disci-
pline of military drill.

A part of the Tyrian Rifles Team
mission is to spread the name of Tex-
as Tech and the Army ROTC program
through their military behavior. For
the major part of their mission how-
ever, the team works to produce leaders
of the highest caliber, both for mili-
tary and civilian careers. The drill
team's prime method of accomplishing
these goals is also a two-phased pro-
gram. During the fall semester of each
school year, the team is organized in-
to a highly competent and trained
honor unit. During this time, the team
participates in civic functions, serves
as color guards and honor guards for
various functions and performs the
duties of the pallbearers at military
funerals for area service men killed in
Vietnam.

The team marches in all Tech
homecoming parades as well as other
parades in this area. Highlight of
the drill training program, however,
is the second phase, drill competition.

Each year the team competes
with similar units from other schools
in various cities: Lawton, Oklahoma;
San Antonio and Shamrock, Texas.
The high point of the drill season is
the competition in the Cherry Blossom
Festival in May in Washington, D. C.

Commander of the Tyrian Rifles
Drill Team was Captain Gary Mc-
Millan. Cadet Robert T. Clark is the
1st sergeant and the Drill Instructor
is Cadet Garion D. Brunson. The team
had a new sponsor this year, Major
K. W. Schreiber.

The team competes in three types
of drill during the drill season. Fancy
drill is complicated twirling and pre-
cision drill routines. Regulation drill
is 22-5 regular Army drill from the
Army drill manual. In independent
drill, one man represents one team in
twirling and marching drill routines.
The team placed first in 22-5 drill at
Lawton and Garion Brunson placed in
the independent drill.

CORPSDETTES

Patriotic Spirit

Advancing and promoting citi-
zenship in a patriotic spirit and stim-
ulate interest in the Army ROTC are
the objectives of Corpsdettes, wom-
en's auxiliary in the 4th Army Reg-
ional Area.

As a unit, Tech Corpsdettes
marched in the homecoming parade.
They also helped the ROTC cadets
build the float and brought doughnuts
to the cadets posted at the all-night
bonfire. The girls marched at the
Dad's Day game and hostessed the
Dad's Day reception coffee.

Corpsdettes activities are
planned around the ROTC program
and for the cadets. The girls helped
with the ROTC Turkey Shoot Booth
at the South Plains Fair and partici-
pated in the planning of the Corps
Military Ball in the spring.

In December, the girls held a
Slave Sale with Third Battalion to
raise money for the Corps Christmas
party. Also during Christmas, the
Corpsdettes gave a party for children
at First Christian Church and took
fifteen girls from Girl's Town out to
eat and to the Carol of Lights.

One of the outstanding events of
this year was the annual Corpsdette
Regional Convention in Lubbock. Or-
ganizing the meet were hostessing
Tech officers: Candy Crawford, com-
mander; Linda Evans, personnel;
Barbara Van Ness, executive; Mary
Howe, logistics; and Kathy Griff is,
operations. The guest speaker at the
conclave was Lt. Clo. Lou Anne Run-
nel.

Drill meets in the spring included
competition at West Texas State and
a return to the invitational Fiesta
Flambeau Parade in San Antonio.

CAMPUS
ADVANCE

Conspiracy for Christ

Campus Advance is students!
When students come to college they are
embarking upon a new frontier. This
frontier will shape and develop many
concepts and beliefs they will have for
the rest of their lives. In the process
of a college education many students
at one time or another come in contact
with the person of Jesus either through
the local church or friends. Campus
Advance is both !

Campus Advance, or the Church
of Christ Bible Chair, in its efforts
through Christian students tries to
show that Jesus really is the Son of
God, and that He can answer the
problems that are common in people.

Actually the purposes of Campus
Advance are many. Not only do
Christian students try to present Jesus
to other students, but they themselves
are looking into their own lives to see
if their faith is real.

One of their projects was a
devotion-breakfast followed by a day
spent in distribution of Bibles on the
Tech campus. Hundreds of copies of
Good News for Modern Man were
distributed to Techsans.

the open door at Wesley

WESLEY
FOUNDATION

Two-Way Door

When a door is opened, people
can either walk in or walk out. When
students come to Wesley Foundation,
they discover the potential of look-
ing inward into themselves and out-
ward into the world. They are on the
threshold of new discoveries both in-
side and outside.

Informal Sunday night get-to-
gethers allow for fellowship and re-
laxation. The group also plans and
enjoys meals and activities together.
There is always the unexpected, un-
planned serious conversation leading
to discovery of "self and others.

Twice a semester the Perkins
Lecture Series offers a critical exam-
ination of the Christian's place in
the modern world. Experimental wor-
ship before the formal service, using
folk songs and poetry by contemporary
writers, sets the atmosphere. These dis-
cussions open the door to thought for
Wesley members.

Probably the most important
aspects of discovery are the Wesley
Seminars. Making use of the expanse
of talent both on and off the campus,
small groups meet Monday through
Thursday nights for study and discus-
sion. Courses and lectures scheduled for
this year included Negro history, the
role of the university, contemporary
theology, problems of the city, and
Jewish history.

The newest door opened this year
extended to "Pig City" and a tutoring
school. Twenty children received the
benefit of help with homework, mixed
with punch and cookies, organized
games and parties, and the feeling that
someone cared about them. The Wesley
volunteers who opened the door found
their satisfaction in the children's
gratitude.

Wesley also sponsors the Wednes-
day night forums, which are organized
with a speaker, usually a Tech profes-
sor or graduate student, followed by
a discussion session.

Preferred topics are controversial
issues dealing with Christianity in a
practical society. The members of
Wesley Foundation plan their pro-
grams and activities as an open door
program for all.

STUDENT UNION

Fellowship Link

The Baptist Student Union is a
link with the church, a place for
Christian fellowship and worship and
an opportunity to serve God and the
community.

Projects, programs and partici-

participate in six areas of service:
enlistment, worship, study, evangelism,
missions and fellowship.

The mission area represents the
hub of the activity wheel with its many
projects. Each Friday night BSU
members teach Bible classes for un-
der-privileged children at Lubbock
churches. Tutoring sessions at area
orphanages keep members busy on
week nights. Sunday is "Visiting Day"
at the area rest homes for the BSU.

The BSU calendar is marked with
the annual mid-winter retreat at
Glorietta, New Mexico. Besides enjoy-
ing the snow and sports, members
were inspired by well-known Baptist
speakers and stimulating discussion
groups. In addition to this trip 12

CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS

Meeting Needs of Health and Academics

Prepared student lectures, teach-
ings and talks constitute the activities
of the Christian Science Organization
at Tech.

As a special organization project,
the mother Christian Science Church
at Boston sent a lecturer, who was an
active member of the Christian Science
Board of Lectureship, to speak to the
Tech chapter. This year's speaker was
Paul A. Erickson who spoke on "You
and God."

Evangelism through personal
testimony of the members is offered
at each weekly meeting of the Christian
Science group in the Tech Union.
"Teachings" were in the form of group
study in their text. Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures by Mary
Baker Eddy.

Membership has grown in the past
two years and the students have come
to rely completely on Christian Science
for needs in health and academics.

Marshall Reddick now heads the
Christian Science Organization as pres-
ident.

The chapter's continual project
is the promotion and sales of the
Christian Science Monitor, their
ternational magazine.

Another project of the group was
the planning and foundation effort for
a lending library and reading room.

Informal get-togethers and Sunday
dinners bring the Christian Science
members closer together.

Spreading the healing message to
the campus is the main goal of. the
Christian Science Organization at Tech.

"The purpose of the society shall be to promote
intelligent living and a high standard of learning and
to encourage superior scholastic attainment among the
women in their first year in our institutions of higher
learning." With this purpose in mind. Alpha Lambda
Delta is made up of any freshman woman who has a
3.5 grade average and 15 semester hours credit. Mem-
bers from various specialized honories attended the first
meeting for the purpose of informing Alpha Lambda
Delta women about honoraries in a specific field. In
the spring, Alpha Lambda Delta celebrated their annual
banquet along with Phi Eta Sigma, men's honorary, to
honor new initiates. As is the tradition, the president
of a leading university, who this year was Dr. John Her-
bert HoUomon, president of Oklahoma University, spoke
at this banquet. Also in the spring, a senior certificate
is awarded to any woman student who has maintained
a 3.5 overall grade point average. Through activities
designed to emphasize scholarship. Alpha Lambda Delta
promotes its lasting ideals.

Junior Council In Service

Although Junior Council is primarily an honorary or-
ganization which recognizes outstanding junior women,
members inceasingly concern themselves with service to the
Texas Tech campus and Lubbock community. As one of the
oldest women's organizations on campus, Junior Council se-
lects twenty-five women who have excelled in scholarship,
leadership, and dependability.

For the first time in its history, Junior Council selected
an international student for honorary membship. Yiota
Dallis from Greece was the recipient of this year's member-
ship.

As a special activity Junior Council members made it
possible for children from the Buckner Baptist Children's
Home to attend a Red Raider football game, each with a
Tech student. A generous contribution was given by mem-
bers to the new rehabilitation center presently being con-
structed. The remainder of the Junior Council donation was
used to send a young woman to Yugoslavia for the Interna-
tional Handicapped Olympics.

Junior Council sponsors for the year were Dr. Beatrix
Cobb and Miss Jeanine McHaney.

From a brief encounter of two
young women on the campus of the
University of Chicago over a half
century ago came the ground work
for an organization which fifty-four
j^^B years later would be found on 125 cam-

puses throughout the country and num-
ber over 47,000 members. The growth
of Mortar Board, the first and only
national organization of senior college
women, as an outstanding factor in
American collegiate life bespeaks not

only the need for such a society but its
undoubted usefulness to the campuses.
The fall semester found Tech's
chapter of Mortar Board busily engaged
in selling mums for "Moms" on Dad's
Day and sponsoring the Southwest Col-
lection of Art at the museum. Along
with the frolics of springtime Mortar
Board also sponsored the faculty fire-
sides. This year's slate of officers in-
cluded Mary Lynn Anderson, president;
Carla Bell, vice president; Claire Smith,

Dr. J. Wilkes Berry and Dr.

"Putting Hubby Through" is the
degree bestowed upon all Tech Dames
at the time of graduation of their
husbands.

Tech Dames started out the year
with a reception and style show at
Hemphill-Wells. Burl Huffman, Tech
football coach, spoke at one meeting
during football season to better in-
form members on the subject of foot-
ball.

During the Christmas season Tech
Dames gave a party for Buckner Bap-
tist Children's Home. A program was
given in February to show the mem-
bers how to style different types of
hairpieces, wigs, falls, and cascades.

In the spring Dr. EUzey from
Home and Family Life department
spoke on the subject of marriage.
Also in the spring new officers were
elected, along with graduation and
the awarding of the P.H.T. degree.
Other events throughout the year were
pot luck suppers, a Valentine's dance,
and teas.

Tech Dames contribute to making
the wives of Tech students feel more
a part of campus life and activities.

The Mr. and Miss Tiny Techsans contest, an annual event, was won by Shelly Adams
and Charles New.

Adaiii!

The Town Girls' Club keeps Lubbock coeds informed
of activities around campus. Since the girls don't live on
campus they are out of touch with dorm life where most
events are publicized. Town Girls met in the Tech Union
every second and fourth week of the month for lunch and
for discussing such issues as campus elections and the var-
ious platforms of the proposed candidates. This year they
had a rummage sale for the purpose of making money for
various Town Girls' projects. Also, they participated in the
intramural program throughout the year and sponsored a
hayride in the spring. Through Town Girls, Lubbock girls
can feel more a part of the campus to which they belong.

Women's Residence Council
Presents New Constitution

The Women's Residence Council, an important com-
munications link for women students, encourages an effec-
tive cultural program and an atmosphere conducive to aca-
demic learning. Composed of the presidents and vice presi-
dents of the women's residence halls, WRC serves as the
policy making organization for these halls.

A major step was taken this year as WRC members
constructed a new constitution, separating them entirely
from the Association of Women Students. As a result WRC
has become solely responsible for the student government
and regulations within the residence halls.

The "Carol of Lights," a special WRC project beneficial
to all Tech students and Lubbock citizens, has become an
annual tradition during the Christmas season. Residence hall
choirs presented a program of Christmas carols, which was
climaxed by the turning on the lights which highlight the
campus during the holidays. Other activities include a spring
workshop for newly-elected officers and scholarship trophies
given to the upperclass hall and to the freshman hall with
the highest grade-point average. One of the more recent
WRC projects was the creation of the Marshall L. Penning-
ton Loan Fund.

A FIRST FOR

TEXAS TECH

. . . CAMPUS

GIRL SCOUTS

Recalling the old days are Campus Girl Scouts
officers: Anita Bell, AWS representative; Mary
McKeever. historian; Linda Abbott, secretary-
treasurer; Vicky Allen, vice-president; and Mary
Lou Simpson, president.

Waiting for the games to start are (bottom row) Nancy
Mohn, Linda Abbott, Anita Bell, and Marsha Mounts, (top
row) Diane Hensle, Sandra Rice, Linda Sears, Vicky Allen,
Mary Lou Simpson, and Patrice Schindler.

"Be prepared." That is an old
slogan, one that brings back memo-
ries of those "longtime agos" of Cub
Scouts and Brownies. But for the 15
members of Campus Girl Scouts this
is not an outdated slogan, but a liv-
ing reality. Girl Scouting for college
students is not new on the Tech cam-
pus. Begun five years ago as Tri G's,
the group became the second in the
United States to be chartered. by the
National Girl Scout Organizations.
With this charter the group was pre-
pared to add campus service to their
Girls Scout activities. Added to the
service of leading Girl Scout troops,
working as program advisors, direct-
ing Play Days, and assisting at the
Girl Scout Office, were the two proj-
ects of the West Texas Museum and
the International Students. "Be pre-
pared" . . . and in being prepared
Campus Girl Scouts prepare for life
beyond the campus.

Off to a Second Start
Chitwood Freshman Coeds

•

With a new high-rise residence hall for a beginning,
Chitwood Freshman legislators and officers were off to
start a second year of whirlwind activities. For the Thanks-
giving holidays Chitwood coeds contributed a food basket
to a needy family in Lubbock. Christmas was a special
season for these girls as they celebrated with a Christmas
formal, decorating a tree for their lobby with homemade

ornaments, and conducting a door decoration contest.
The freshman representatives were busy this year compil-
ing a card file of resident's classes and professors and
organizing orientation programs for transfer students.

The officers who made the past year such a successful
one were Kathryn Ann Baker, president; Margaret Tattan,
AWS Representative; and Nancy Hall, vice-president.

What a contrast for those Chit-
wood legislators and officers, from
their new highrise 12-story form to an
old abandoned coffee house! Of
course, the remainder of their time was
spent in the modern co-educational
residence hall for upperclasswomen.
Residents of Chitwood have the oppor-
tunity to participate in intramural
sports, all-hall parties, exchange din-
ners, mixers with men's dorms and

homecoming activities. The elegantly
decorated formal lounge was the site
of the Christmas formal dance. Other
activities included an appreciation din-
ner for the legislators, a scholarship
banquet, and the aiding of the Good-
fellows program for the needy. A li-
brary has been started in the auxilliary
room with reference books and other
donated literature.

The Changing Pace
For Clement Hall

•

Keeping astride with the ever changing pace of activities,
Clement Hall stays up to date on campus events. The indi-
vidual wings in Clement took up a collection for the Amon
G. Carter Fountain. Each girl who contributed did not have
to pass room check regulations that week. For their annual
Christmas party, each wing selected one girl to dress as a
doll and the wing with the best dressed doll received a deco-
rated cake. Scholarship banquets during the year were a part
of dorm life that helped honor the outstanding students.
These and other activities such as open houses and exchange
dinners enabled their residents to enjoy an exciting dorm
life.

Doak Hall Always
In The Winner's Circle

The facts of Doak Hall can be found anywhere. Popu-
lated by many smiling upperclasswomen, Doak resides as
hub of activity on the Texas Tech campus. Doak is more
than a list of facts and honors; it is the all-dorm "Howdy"
party, Halloween party, the Dad's Day coffee, Homecom-
ing reunion, and all-senior caroling and tree trim at
Christmas time. Combining good times with service proj-
ects, the girls were able to contribute to the building of
the Amon G. Carter Plaza on the campus by holding a
garage sale.

Heading the list on leadership for Doak was presi-
dent, Carol Ann Rankin; vice president, Peggy Ramsey;
and AWS representative, Kay Shelton. A dorm of vintage
age and lasting friendships, it remains full of charming,
fun-loving and friendly Doak coeds.

with different fund raising drives and banquets rewarding
the studious scholars with a 3.00 grade average and in
appreciation for officers and legislators. Highlights during
the year included gala festivities for Halloween, Christmas
and for Dad's Day.

This year's officers were Peggy Wooldridge, presi-
dent; Judy Cantrell, vice-president; and Carolyn Rieck,

Building, Stangel Hall became the center of activity on Tech
campus.

Stangel promoted scholarship throughout its residents
by taking every person who achieved a 3.00 or more out
to dinner at the Gridiron Restaurant.

For the first time Stangel girls set up the Dorothy T.
Garner Scholarship Award. To help keep up dorm spirit each
wing receives ten dollars every other week to have a party.

Residents were proud to show off their new lobby decor
at the Dad's Day and homecoming open house. Stangel Hall
remains one of the most all-around dorms on campus.

to achieve close and enduring friendships through all dorm
parties, devotionals and scholarship banquets during the
year. As Weeks' girls attempt to create an atmosphere
conducive to study, the well-earned scholarship trophy
from the past consecutive nine years is proudly displayed

contributed to the Goodfellows program as well as partici-
pating in the annual Carol of Lights. The legislature attended
a seminar at the Counseling Center in order to better under-

West Hall Remains
Traditional in Dorm Spirit

Traditionalism remains a part of West Hall. Apart from
the hectic campus life West Hall tries to serve the community
in many ways. West girls gave a Halloween Party for Girl's
Town at Whiteface, Texas. Christmas, they invited seventy
children from the Salvation Army to a party at which gifts
were given. West girls also sent Christmas packages to three
platoons in Viet Nam. Besides contributing to their com-
munity, they helped make campus living more fulfilling for
their residents. A Valentine's Dance, scholarship banquets,
brunches for graduating seniors, and a party for the wing
with the highest grade point are only a few things to make
West Hall a delightful place for upperclassmen to live.

Ten Years of Service
For a Better Texas Tech

In this hectic world of modern
times, the importance of service to the
community and school life is often
neglected. The Women's Service Or-
ganization, celebrating its tenth anni-
versary this year, works to serve Texas
Tech and the Lubbock community in
an attempt to bring the two closer to-
gether.

WSO began in 1959 merely as a
sub-committee of the Association of
Women Students. In the spring of
1961 a group of Knapp girls investi-
gated the possibility of having an or-
ganization for women to correspond
with the men's service fraternity, Al-
pha Phi Omega. After several discus-
sions with a national women's service
group, plans were agreed upon to
combine the AWS Volunteer Bureau
which was in its beginning stages, with
what is now known as Women's Ser-
vice Organization. In 1961 WSO be-
gan its first year as an independent
organization.

Since 1961 the members of WSO
have worked extensively for school and
community. WSO has gained recogni-
tion by such activities as creating an
information booth in the Tech Union,

«i if

working during student elections, col-
lecting money for the United Fund,
helping with the Boy Scout Circus and
aiding the World University Service,
which helps needy children and teach-
ers throughout the world.

WSO's scrapbooks are filled with
letters of commendation and thank

you's for the services they have per-
formed. Their goal is reflected in the
purpose which is "to assemble the
women students of Tech in the spirit
of service to the college and the com-
munity." In its short history, WSO has
grown both in membership and the
number of services.

AWS-A Major Asset
For The Tech Coed

Celebrating its fortieth anniversary this year, the Associa-
tion of Women Students once again has attained the high goal
of promoting unity and fellowship among Tech's women stu-
dents. As a coordinating board, AWS brings all campus women
organizations together to work for the improvement of women's
social, service, and governing groups.

The General Council of Tech's AWS, the organization's
governing body, is composed of one representative from each
women's organization and a representative from the Freshman
Class. The Executive Council is comprised of eight officers elect-
ed by the women students.

The beginning of the fall semester marks the date for the
annual AWS sponsored Howdy Party, which is a get-acquainted
period during orientation period. Other activities during the
school year include a Board of Directors luncheon. Dad's Day,
Penny-a-Minute Night, and, most important. Woman's Day.

With its ever-expanding activities program, AWS proves it-
self as a major asset for the individual Texas Tech woman.

Tech's Panhellenic Council
Expands Sorority Standards

JUIS

To promote inter-sorority cooperation and strengthen
sorority-community relations as a whole, the thirteen social
sororities at Texas Tech are member groups of the College
Panhellenic Association. The governing body of this organi-
zation is the Panhellenic Council which is composed of two
representatives of each sorority. During the monthly meeting
the council plans various activities and special events spon-
sored by Panhellenic throughout the year. Because Panhel-
lenic representatives have had an opportunity to discuss
issues with their chapters, all sorority members have a voice
in Panhellenic decisions.

"We the undergraduate members of women's fraterni-
ties, stand for good scholarship, for guarding of good health,
for maintenance of fine standards, and for serving to the best
of our ability our college community. Cooperation for fur-
thering fraternity life, in harmony with its best possibilities,
is the ideal that shall guide our fraternity activities." As
the above Panhellenic creed states, the thirteen sororities on

the Tech campus maintain high standards in matter of per-
sonal conduct, scholarship, and campus citizenship.

As a service project this year, members of all sororities
joined together in collecting the sizable amount of $2,300
for the March of Dimes. Other activities included organizing
a tutoring system for the new pledges, sponsoring a Sing-
Song with one-half the profit given to charity, and having
Panhellenic pals to promote better relationships between the
individual sororities.

Greek Week, which was sponsored by the Panhellenic
and Interfraternity Councils, celebrated such activities as
leadership workshops, a faculty-students banquet, a talent
show, games, and a convocation on Sunday.

As the Panhellenic Council deepens its purpose each
year and increases its high cultural, educational, and social
standards of sorority women, it will continue as its tradition
has proven to uphold the sorority system at Texas Tech.

Not only do the winter months
bring special events such as the Alpha
Phi presentation of pledges, Paddle
Party and Kidnap breakfast, but the
remainder of the year has such activ-
ities as the fall retreat, formal dinner
dance, and scholarship banquet. Dur-
ing Heart Week Alphi Phi members
worked for the Cardiac Aid Founda-
tion by collecting money for the
Heart Fund. Another service project
was hostessing the blood drive for
hemophilia persons which was spon-
sored by the Agricultural Economics
Club. As a service contribution to the
campus they financially aided the
Saddle Tramps with the building of
the Amon G. Carter Fountain.

Sing-songs are just one part of the
active program for Tech's Chi Omega
girls. The year is filled with such out-
standing events as slumber parties, a
Dad's Day coffee, construction of a
homecoming float, a faculty-student
dinner, chapter retreats, a scholarship
banquet, plus many service projects.
As a service to the community, during
Heart Week members worked with
Cardiac Aid. The Chi Omega Boutique
is a special money-raising activity
during the spring in which all sorori-
ties contribute handicrafts they have
made for sale. This year Chi Omega
members celebrated the acquisition of
their new lodge with an open house for
all sororities, fraternities, professors,
and friends.

As the school year ended in June
Gamma Phi Beta members took a
short rest from their busy past months.
Activities which kept them so busy
were of a numerous variety and in-
cluded participation in the Sigma Chi
Derby Day, a Beta Tau birthday party,
a chapter retreat to the Episcopal
Church Conference Center in Amarillo,
and a paddle party. Service projects
were the collection of money for the
Christmas Seals program and the
March of Dimes. A special event took
place in December as members ac-
companied several Girl Scout troops to
the "Carol of Lights."

With one last trip to the seashores
in August, Kappa Kappa Gamma girls
were headed back to Tech for the fall
semester. Their efforts were rewarded
as they not only won the scholarship
trophy among other Tech sororities,
but they also claimed the scholarship
award for the highest grades in the
nation. Of course. Kappa girls do not
spend all their time "burning the
midnight oil." Activities during the
year included a chapter retreat, spring
dinner dance, Inspiration Week, the
Pledge Peppermint Party and the
Monmouth-Duo co-sponsored with Pi
Beta Phi. The Kappas have set another
high goal, that being able to give a
$2000 scholarship on every campus
with a Kappa Kappa Gamma chapter.
This will be in celebration of their
100th anniversary.

With the selection of new
pledges Phi Mu sorority began a
year of fun and varied activities.
As a beginning the pledges were
kidnapped by the actives to learn
who their big sisters would be.
In the Christmas spirit a joint
party of actives and alumnae was
held. The group also caroled at
a nearby Lubbock nursing home.
As their philanthropy Phi Mu
members support project Hope.
The Carnation B^\\ was a special
event which was held for the pur-
pose of presenting nev/ pledges.
Participating in pep rallies, re-
treats and intramurals was an in-
tegral part of a most fulfilling
year for Phi Mu.

SIGMA KAPPA

Many varied activities were the
highlights of Sigma Kappa's of 1969.
As set forth when founded in 1852,
Sigma Kappa supports its philanthro-
pies, The Maine Sea Coast Mission, the
National Gerontology Program and the
American Girls' Greek School, in every
way possible. Activities throughout the
year were paddle parties, a dinner
dance which had a Mardi Gras theme,
a retreat to Carlsbad, New Mexico,
and kidnap breakfasts. Sigma Kappa's
also sponsored the Tuberculosis drive
as well as adopting an elderly family
as a Christmas project. At the end of
the year the seniors are given a break-
fast with the seniors who are not get-
ting married or engaged receiving the
"Lemon Award." Scholarship is also
an important aspect of Sigma Kappa
sorority. During the year people from
the campus :.i oke on studying and the
various ways \o achieve scholarships.

Whatever the season Zeta Tau
Alpha members are most active. Spe-
cial events throughout the year in-
cluded a homecoming reception, a
scholarship recognition service, a Pad-
dle Party and the senior farewell
banquet. Zeta Week occurs in the
spring when the pledges are initiated
and the week is climaxed by the
White Violet breakfast. As a philan-
throphy Zeta members sponsor a small
Korean girl by supporting her during
the year and especially sending re-
membrances at Christmas and on her
birthday. Their pledges won the honor
of collecting the most food by pound-
age for needed families in a program
given by Phi Kappa Psi.

FRAT COUNCIL
Comin' on Strong

Texas Tech's Interfraternity Coun-
cil, with its primary purposes of
perpetuating better relationships among
chapters and working toward their best
interests, has worked hard to accomplish
these goals. Greek Week is an annual
affair presented for the purpose of ex-
amining and emphasizing Greek ideals.

In order to provide more oppor-
tunity for Tech men to receive the bene-
fits of and to participate more fully in
the fraternity system, a new chapter,
Beta Theta Pi, was started. This colony,
as a new chapter is called, has grown
quickly.

With trophies and awards as the
incentive, the chapters of IPC engage in
keen competition in the areas of schol-
arship, service projects, and intramurals.
The chapter with the highest over-all
grade point average received a trophy.
The chapter that has contributed the
most social service to the community is
awarded a plaque. Using a graduated
point system for winners in intramurals,
the fraternity with the most points is
awarded the Interfraternity Council
Blanket Award. Through this kind of
competition, a healthy spirit among fra-
ternities is achieved.

As fraternities move forward, so
will IPC, not as followers but as the
leaders.

The fall semester marked the be-
ginning of a new fraternal organization
on the Texas Tech campus. A Beta
Theta Pi colony was started. It is under
the guidance of Gamma Omega chapter
of Beta Theta Pi at Southern Methodist
University in Dallas. The twenty-four
men were initiated at Southern Method-
ist in early March. They shall try for
their charter during the summer. If they
receive a charter, they will be the first
colony to get one in one year. Beta
Theta Pi is the sixth oldest fraternity
in the nation and was founded in the
year 1836.

— - The Betas have worked very hard
to bring the chapter to Tech. In the
spring, they took twenty-six pledges.
They have a lodge on 22nd and Uni
versity.

Although the number of Betas is
small, quantity does not affect the
quality of the group. Lee Tynes played
varsity basketbJall for the Red Raiders
and Fred Lundberg was a varsity swim-
mer. Ray McWilliams is in Saddle
Tramps and on the Union Executive
Board. Richard Moffet played freshman
football. Beta Theta Pi's representative
to Interfraternity Council is Mike Price.

The Betas were also active in intra-
mi);jh. They sponsored a Thanksgiving

congeniality and enthusiasm. Whether it
is in campus activities, intramurals, or
just walking across campus, the spirit of
the Southern gentlemen is readily identi-

Ever ready to welcome a brother, the

greet Pat Boone, an alum of Gamma
Lambda Chapter at Denton. Pat was
here as the featured star of Lubbock's
Annual South Plains Fair.

Imagination alone can describe the
homecoming combination of Stella and
Inez, the pink hippos. The prize winning
float created a feeling of joy and excite-
ment as Stella danced into the hearts
of all the young spectators.

loses its emphasis. Ranked second scho-

Kappa Sigma is one of the largest
and oldest of American college fraternal
organizations. Its long history is en-
riched by years of tradition. The brother-
hood traces its founding to the year
1400 at the University of Bologna in
Italy. The ideals and teachings of Kappa
Sigma were brought to America and
reached the University of Virginia, De-
cember 10, 1869. Since that time, the
fraternity has grown in prominence. At
present, there are 139 active chapters
and over 85,000 alumni throughout the
world.

Kappa Sigma is a well-rounded

fraternal organization which participates

in all forms of campus activities. The

organization puts a strong emphasis on

social functions. The highlight of the

year was the annual Pajama Dance in

the spring, an Sll-school affair. Other

' parties included a Homecoming Dance,

^Mi«5 Pledge Gbnfest, Black and 'White

Formal Dinner Dance, Founder's Day

~ Banquet, and a party with the men of

Phi Gamma Delta fraternity.

record that can be pointed to with pride
by all of its 749 initiates. The year
1968-69 was no exception.

Texas Epsilon was recognized at its
national convention as being one of
eight Gold Star Phi chapters in the
nation, as having the second best com-
munity service, and as being the top
chapter of Phi Delta Theta in the nation
for 1968. In addition, the chapter re-
ceived the national Spiritual Life Award
and the Headquarters Trophy (for
management of chapter affairs). Special
recognition was extended to Bill Dean,
chapter advisor, for his outstanding
work and to John Scovell who received
the Harman-Rice Award, significant of
the top Phi athlete in the nation.

On the local level, Texas Epsilon
emphasizes the importance of student
government. Mike Anderson and Randy
Andrews are student senators, Byron
Snyder is business manager, and Chris
Todd serves as a justice on the supreme
court.

Athletics, both varsity and intra-
mural, play an important role in the
brotherhood. During 1968-69 Texas
Epsilon won both A and B league foot-
ball championships in the fraternity divi-
sion and was runner-up in the all-
college playoffs. They placed second in
A and B league basketball, first in
soccer, and were leading all leagues in
volleyball. Once again, Texas Epsilon
took both the fraternity and all-college
championships in tug*of-war.

Well represented on the football
field, Texas Epsilon boasts 15 varsity
performers including starters Bobby
Allen, Jim Dyer, Rob Junnell, Dicky
Grigg, Dennis Lane, Larn/ ' r"--"",
Joe Matulich, Andy Reed. F
Tom Sawyer, Carrol! ' !;;ree

Terr>' Scarborough arc coaches. Varsity
basketball perf re Larry Wood

and Clay Van Loozen; baseball, Steve
Huj^g^^ Robert McKinney, Brad
Wiiemon, Stan Wilemon; and swim-
miiig, Jay Settle. In addition, Weldon
Mitchell and Buzzy Ziegler represented
Texas Epsilon and Texas Tech as varsity
cheerleaders.

The social side of the fraternity is
designed to stimulate unity and relaxa-
tion. The social calendar features after
game dances. Homecoming Dance,
Christmas Formal, Dinner Dance, Big
Brother-Little Brother Breakfast, Ranch
Dance, Steak Fry, and affairs just for
the brothers.

Whether at parties such as the Fiji
Island, the Purple Garter, or the Black
Diamond Formal, or serving in com-
munity service, the Phi Gamma Delta's
at Texas Tech offer Tech students fra-
ternal brotherhood. Brotherhood is the
pride of the Fijis, and this pride is
exemplified by complete participation
in all phases of campus activities.

Mike Thomas, president of IFC
for the second year, led the Tech
fraternities in a splendid manner. Gim-
pus leadership was demonstrated by
David McDougal, chief justice of the
Tech Supreme Court, and Alan Brown,
associate justice repres<Siting the School
of Business. Also Gary Harrod was a
senator from the School of Business
Administration. In addition, Alan
Brown, Mike Thomas, and David Mc-
Dougal were chosen to represent Tech
in Who's Who among Students.

In intramurals the Fijis won the
Outstanding Fraternity Participation
trophy for the second year in a row.
Gary Hughes was a starting pitcher in
baseball. Jimmy Bennett, Mike Patter-
son, Lou Breuer, Mike Brewer, Bobby
Parkhill, Jim Arnold, and Eddy Win-
dom represented the Fijis on the varsity

football team, while Bill Andrews and
David McDougal supported them
through Saddle Tramps.

This fraternity again walked away
with honors at the national convention.
A special award for unique social serv-
ice in the community was presented by
the national president.

Events which highlighted the year
were the annual clean-up day at Girls-
town, a Christmas party for mentally
retarded children, a march for March
of Dimes, supervision of an area Boy's
Club each Saturday, monthly church
attendance, and financial support of an
orphan boy for a year.

The work of Phi Gamma Delta
on and off campus emphasizes the
strong brotherhood on which the fra-
ternity is based.

Playboy--2l

Phi Kappa Psi is an active fra-
ternity. Whether it was sports events,
social activities, or academic honors, the
club always placed its best foot for-
ward. Scholastically, the Phi Psi's were
number one among fraternities for the
ninth consecutive semester. They won
their league in intramural basketball,
and last spring they exhibited further
athletic ability by winning th^ Little
500 Bike Race. Phi Kappa Psi and
Kappa Kappa Gamma were sweepstakes
winners in the University Sing.

Christmas found the fraternity in
the generous holiday spirit. Four thou-
sand pounds of food, results of the Phi
Psi Food Round-up, were sent to the
Salvation Army. Kappa Alpha Theta
sorority joined them for a Christmas
party at the Colonial Nursing Home.

The activities of each member
comprised the activeness of the frater-
nity. Mike Riddle was president of the
Student Body, while Kirk Pendleton, a
Saddle Tramp, served as his assistan
Another Saddle Tramp, Don Lamprecht,"
was presented a Key to the College for
scholastics. Who's Who in American
Colleges and Universities included the
names of Richard Knox, Robert White-
hill, Dick Bowen, Mike Riddle, and
Wes Wallace. Dick Bowen was also
a student senator and wing commander
of AFROTC. Richard Knox, star of
the musical play "Brigadoon," was ac-
cepted for graduate studies at Yale
School of Divinity. Varsity teams in-
cluded the following members: Rod
Bucker, tennis; Rob McCreary, swim-
ming; Max Martin and Don McKee,
baseball,

What is a fraternity? What does
it mean? To ninety men on the Tech
campus, fraternity means Pi Kappa
Alpha. Pii<es as an aggregate are one,
thing, and singly, they are anothery^ey
can be found as outstanding individuals
in almost any area of campus activity.

Tommy Ward and Keith William-
son serve on the Student Senate. Larry
Wynn is a member of the Student Ap-
peals Board. Bill Jones is secretary of
the Interfraternity Council and one of
the top divers in the Southwest Confer-
ence. Pikes that see action with the Red
Raiders on the football field are Roger
freeman, Bruce Dowdy, Jessie Richard
son. Buddy Capps, and Mike Moore.*
Freeman retains his position on the Pi
Kappa Alpha All-American team, and
he is backed up by the remaining four
gridders who found berths on the team's
honorable mention list. Tom Roy gi
on the football field occasionally, too,
with his trombone, adding to the show
put on by the Coin' Band from Raider-
land. The football team and band are
not the only organizations that profit
by having Pikes among their numbers,
since several professional fraternities are
accepting them as members.

The real attention should be aimed
at what the fraternity does as a team.
Although they never state it officially,
the feeling among the Pikes for the year
is one of "if you are going to do some-
thing, do it right." Apparently they take
themselves seriously, because thcv always
try to do everything righf "" rush

for example. After a sf ' t-

table parties .m ' .>;- iurd work in

the fall, t'-" )ok the largest

pledge (..,. :■■. Then came

homecommg and a^ljsomecoming dance
at the Hayloft Dinner Theater. Spring
brought a mood that was just right for
the fantastic Pike Fiesta; the Boxtops
played in a packed Fair Park Coliseum.
All these things are due to the hard,
devoted labor of the group — the men
that can truly call themselves the
brothers of Pi Kappa Alpha.

iThe Sigma Chis have experienced
afiottier year composed ol various suc-
cessful campns, social, and public rela-
tion's activities. Fall rush yielded the
Sigs the largest pleiigfrclass on campus.

The annual Derby Day Dance fol-
lowed an afternoon of fun as the sorori-
ties competed for top honors in games i
such as the cg^ scr^imble and musical
washtubs. The Alpha Chi Omeg.is won
the high-point trophy in the games and
llShe spirit trophy was taken by a group
of determined Alpha Phis. Paula Sar-
gent won prestige for the Zetas by being
named Derby Doll. The Sig's social
calendar also included various rush
.parties and other major events such as
the Belated New Year's Dance, Sweet-
heart Ball, Zeta Soap Fight, All-Sig
Day, and several sorority mixers and
pinning ceremonies.

To supplement the brotherhood the
Sigs share, intnunural sports offered
many victories for the chapter. The Sigs
tallied numerous points in every intra-
mural event that was offered for compe-
tition.

Public service is a great endeavor
|or the Sigma Chis. The members par-
^ticipated in blood drives and the March
of Dimes. The chapter gave a Christ-
mas party with the Delta Gammas for

orpKans, and donated money for Wal-
lace Village. An orphan boy in India
is continuously suj^ported by the Sigs
at Tech. An easter egg hunt was given
for a group of first graders.

Campus activities are widely par-
ticipated in by the brothers of Sigma
Chi. Billy Singleton, Mike Holland,
Everett Urech, and Bobby Kizer have
ser\ed as senators. Pat Simek is the
vice president of MRC. Arch Lamb was
chosen the Chief Justice of the IPC
Court. Members of the Tech Track
team are Bruce Mauldin, SWC
vault champion; and Jim >"
SWC javelin champion

Sigma Chi Prate r^

THE MANY MOODS OF

•

Our long-haired, big-eyed beauty from Lubbock, Texas
is Miss Judy Lightfoot. Sponsored by Pi Kappa Alpha fra-
ternity, Judy was chosen by professional photographers as
the La Ventana Playmate of the Year.

Judy is definitely an active, sports-minded coed. Winters
find her bundled up cute as a bunny on the snow slopes and
the warm summer months find her gliding over the water
behind a boat. She cuts a beautiful form on either type of ski.

Skiing is not the only activity our Playmate enjoys.
Dancing, modern jazz to be exact, has taken up quite a lot of
time during the last six years of Judy's life. Musically minded,
she also plays the piano and "loves" to sing along.

Judy is a junior Spanish and English major at Tech and
has high hopes of being a bilingual secretary or translator
upon graduation.

The lucky young man sharing the spotlight with Miss
Lightfoot is her friend Greg Root, a junior from El Paso.
He shares her moods, whimsical and serious, and watches
as her expressions change from gaity to wonder to more
pensive tones.

PLAYBOY'S PARTY J0KE8

Our collegiate dictionary defines "triplets" as
what you might get from small doses of LSD.

Asked by his student teacher to spell "straight",
the third-grade boy did so without error. "Now,"
said the student teacher, "what does it mean?"
"Without water."

"I've been married twice," explained the senior
chemistry major to his new lab partner, "and I'll
never marry again. My first wife died after eat-
ing poison mushrooms and my second died of a
fractured skull."

"That's a shame," offered the friend. "How
did that happen?"

"She wouldn't eat her mushrooms."

Not that I believe in reincarnation," said the
Greek to his hyperprudish date, "but what were
you before you died?"

According to a middle-aged soothsayer just off
campus, anyone who can still do at 60 what he
did at 20 probably wasn't doing much at 20.

"I just can't find a cause for your illness," the in-
ternist said. "Frankly, I think it's due to drink-
ing."

"In that case," replied his attractive patient,
"I'll come back when you're sober."

The perky bride returned home with an ultra-Mod
clear plastic minidress and held it up for her
stodgy husband's approval.

"Why, you can see right through it," the
astonished husband gasped.

"No you can't silly," she answered. "Not when
I'm in it."

A hippie news dealer was questioned by one of
New York's finest for peddling dirty pictures.

"But you're mistaken," said the hippie. "These
pictures aren't dirty."

Selecting one, the policeman said: "Do you
mean to tell me this isn't a dirty picture?"

The hippie shrugged. "Don't be square, officer.
Haven't you ever seen five people in love?"

Do you believe in clubs for women?" the cute
young Freshman asked her date.

"Yes," he responded, "if kindness fails."

"I'm in love with my horse," the nervous young
Aggie told his psychiatrist.

"Nothing to worry about," the psychiatrist con-
soled. "Many people are fond of animals. As a
matter of fact, my wife and I have a dog we're
very attached to."

"But, doctor," continued the troubled patient,
"I feel physically attracted to my horse."

"Hmmm," observed the doctor. "Is it male or
female?"

"Female, of course!" the man replied curtly.
"What do you think I am, queer?"

Have you heard about the coed who was so ugly
that Peeping Toms would reach in and pull down
her shades?

"You should be ashamed of yourself," the reproach-
ful mother told her college daughter. "All your
girlfriends are divorced already and you're not
even married."

Our collegiate dictionary defines "puritan" as a
man who noes what he likes.

The reception had ended and the newlyweds had
just sneaked off to the honeymoon resort. After
supper and champagne, the groom retired to the
bedroom, but the bride pulled a chair up to the
window and sat gazing at the stars.

"Aren't you coming to bed?" called her im-
patient husband.

"No," she announced. "My mother told me this
would be the most beautiful night of my life —
and I don't want to miss a minute of it."

A certain frat man we know has discovered a
surefire way to avoid a hangover — keep drink-
ing.

Then there was the clumsy file clerk who dropped
her birth-control pills into the Xerox machine.
It wouldn't reproduce for a month.

I think I've finally cured my husband of coming
home in the wee hours of the morning," the wife
announced proudly to her girlfriend. "Last night,
when I heard him fumbling downstairs, I yelled:
'Is that you, Richard?' "

"How has that cured him?" questioned the
friend.

"His name is Steve."

The Little Sisters of Minerva is a
national organization of girls, whose
primary interest is Sigma Alpha Epsi-
lon. The organization is select and can
not exceed twenty in number. Each girl
is voted in by the brothers on an indi-
vidual basis. Her most important quali-
fication must be enthusiasm for the
chapter. Initiation is a formal ceremony,
and each member is presented a little
sister recognition pin which is a minia-
ture replica of the active badge of SAE.

Led by fall officers President Gail
Lewis, Vice President Kay Goar, Secre-
tary Bettye Lou Slaven, Treasurer Toni
Salmon, and Pledge Trainer Linda
Baker, the Little Sisters carried out their
primary purpose of assisting SAE with
rush and various fraternity activities.
Spring officers were Kay Goar, presi-

dent; Tia Taylor, vice president; Beth
Huff, secretary; Peggy Wooldridge,
treasurer; and Shay Slack, pledge
trainer.

They also serve as big sisters to the
SAE pledges. This role of big sister is
very important to each little sister. They
have various parties for their little
brothers during the semesters and try to
encourage and assist them throughout
pledgeship.

In the fall, the Little Sisters chal-
lenged the Little Sigmas of Sigma Chi
to a powderpuff football game. With
the help of the brothers who coached
them, the Little Sisters defeated the
Little Sigmas by a score of 7-0.

During spring rush, the little sis-
ters gave a spaghetti supper for all the
brothers and rushees.

The Little Sisters of the Maltese
Cross is a group of women interested
in the welfare of Alpha Tau Omega.
They promote the growth of Alpha Tau
Omega ideals. The women also serve as
a valuable aid to the men of the frater-
nity by serving as hostesses at parties
and by acting as big sisters to the
pledges. The ATO little sisters prove
most helpful during rush functions.

The women are chosen by the men
of Alpha Tau Omega on the basis of
charm and beauty, but mostly because
they show a sincere interest in the
ideals, goals, and activities of the frater-
nity. They are chosen once every semes-
ter.

The Little Sisters of the Maltese
Cross is nationally sanctioned. They
serve a pledge period of four weeks be-
fore they can wear the pin.

One of the highlights of each se-
mester is when the Little Sisters kidnap
the pledges and take them to breakfast.
This is when the pledges are given their
big sisters.

To help the fraternity, the women
work on the lodge and the scholarship
files. They also plan and decorate
for the Homecoming Tea and the
Founder's Day Tea. The Little Sisters
also participate in various philanthro-
pies sponsored by Alpha Tau Omega.

For fun, the Little Sisters have a
football game with the actives. They al-
so opp>ose the pledges.

The women played baseball this
spring against the other little sister
groups on campus.

The president for the fall was Pam
Kendall and spring president was
Donna Snyder.

TRAMP 9PIRIT

Saddle Tramps is Tech's very ac-
tive spirit organization. The restless
energy of its members can be seen and
often heard on campus; the releasing of
hundreds of balloons at the homecom-
ing games and the clanging of Bangin'
Bertha alone are evidence of that. These
men are responsible for promoting
spirit among students and upholding
the traditions of the college.

Pep rallies, as well as athletic ac-
tivities, are always scenes of Tramp
liveliness. To celebrate Tech victories
and recognize sports honors, they ring
the bells in the tower of the Adminis-
tration Building.

The regular duties of the Saddle
Tramps include academic and athletic
recruiting. Besides serving as guides for
campus tours, they lead the Torch Light
Parade at the Carol of the Lights. They
also help with the bike race and summer
orientation. This year they were given
the honor of chauffering the President
of Chad during his visit.

Saddle Tramp officers Bill Pitt-
man, president; Calvin Brints, first vice
president; Lyn McClellan, second vice
president; Joe Watt, secretary; Bob
Gillispie, treasurer; Don Guest and
Tom Carter, sergeants-at-arms, made
this year a successful one.

The present undertaking of the
Tramps is the sponsoring of the Am-
on G. Carter Fountain to be built at
the entrance of the school. Donations
and various projects contribute to the
construction funds. Walks and benches
and a reflecting pool will accentuate the
fountain when it is completed.

Tom Carter noisily conveys his feelings about
one of Tech's basketball games.

At the Cincinnati pep rally, Saddle Tramps and fans expectantly await the arrival of the Red
Raider football team with the ringing of cowbells.

SERVICE

The purpose of Alpha Phi Omega
is threefold: to develop leadership, pro-
mote friendship, and provide service for
humanity. Working in coordination with
Lubbock civic clubs, this fraternity is
attempting to expand Tech's blind re-
cording program. The proposed blind
tape library will be a part of the cam-
pus library. Their objectives are to ob-
tain recorded textbooks and purchase
tape recorders, Braille and large print
typewriters, and tape duplicators.

Each semester A Phi O offers two
$200 scholarships from a $10,000 en-
dowment fund earned from football
program sales. Another major project
each year is the complete organization
of homecoming activities, including the
parade and the queen's election and
coronation.

The fraternity is under the guid-
ance of President Larry Carter; other
officers include Dick Embry, Fred
Duffey, David Green, Jim Wood, Hugh
Hays, Larry King, and Joe Hilbun.

Club members are responsible for
the lost and found service and placing
luminaries around the campus at home-
coming and for the Carol of the Lights,
They work in the infirmary daily,
bringing items to those patients who
are unable to leave. Benches adorning
the campus are placed there by the
courtesy of Alpha Phi Omega.

Hugh Hays and Larry Carter talk with Wayne James, executive director of the Ex-students' Associa-
tion, and Donna Axum of the Division of Information Services at the banquet for press members
of the Educational Tour. A Phi O members were guides and hosts.

Putting the finishing Alpha Phi Omega brand on one of the benches made by members of the
chapter are Rick Smith and David T. Green. The benches are made behind the Ground Maintenance
Building and then placed around campus for student use.

A fraternity for Catholic men, Chi
Rho is perhaps the most unique organi-
zation on campus. Stressing brotherhood,
it offers service, religious, social, and
athletic opportunities for its members.
The important challenge of faith has
been accepted on the campus by this
group of dedicated young men.

This year found the Chi Rhos ush-
ering at the South Plains Fair and work-
ing at the Tech Rodeo. Coordinating
tours for Dad's Day and Carol of the
Lights was another one of their responsi-
bilities. These men co-sponsored the
Little 500 Bike Race, and occasionally,
they manned the election booths. During
the spring, the club adopted its own
orphanage, and they spent a weekend
working with these local children.

The religious aspects of the club
were realized in a two-day retreat each
semester. Not only did the Chi Rho
men worship individually each Sunday,
but they attended church as a group
once a month.

To start the year off right, the
club had a Back-to-School Dance. Ac-

tivities were slated for Homecoming,
and in December, a semi-formal Christ-
mas Dance celebrated the festive holi-
day season. The spring semester was
highlighted by the Chi Rho's annual
Olympiad. A Western Dance and a
Campfire Party rounded out the social
calendar for the year.

Athletically Chi Rho has won
numerous all-college titles and is proud
of its record of never having a losing
season in any sport. Intramurals saw
them competing in football, basketball,
Softball, tennis, and handball. They
were also active in such sports as soccer,
golf and bowling.

Fall officers were Doug Barnhart,
president; Larry Colgin, vice-president;
Richard Trevisan, secretary; Shaw Skin-
ner, treasurer; and Jim Newman, pledge
trainer. Carl Colgin was voted the Most
Active Active for 1968.

Spring officers included Ray Mc-
Kinney, president; Jim Cowan, vice
president; Don Levings, secretary; Tony
Kuehler, treasurer; and Bruce Hamelin,
pledge trainer.

International Week Big Project

OK 19 ALRIGHT

A service organization to promote
the image of the college on campus and
in the community is Circle K. Leading
the fraternity in this achievement were
Jay Jones, president; Jack Fry, vice
president; Marshall Grimes, secretary;
Harold Williams, treasurer; and Dee
Hawkins, lieutenant governor of Texas
and Oklahoma.

Circle K continues to sponsor Andy
Dick from Buckners' Boy's Ranch. This
year the club is also helping to send
a deaf girl to Czechoslovakia for the
special Olympics held there. Some mem-
bers are participating in the program
to aid foreign students; they teach them
to adjust to new customs and situations.
Consulates of those foreign countries
represented here on campus are asked
to send flags to be placed in the SUB.
Circle K helped with Tech's Inter-
national Week. Pictures show members
preparing displ.iy flags. (Gerald Ran-
dals and Marshall Grimes in picture on
right, John Hutchison below.)

Hosting Dad's Day, helping with
luminaries for homecoming, and spon-
soring the bike races are a few of the
club's projects.

District workshops are held where
local Circle K clubs are able to iron

out their problems and discuss new
projects. In April there was a state
convention in Corpus Christi.

In the United States and Canada,
the theme for the year was "Determine
tomorrow today." Circle K is obviously
working toward this idea.

Delta Sigma Pi, Tech's business

aternity, works constantly toward a
closer affiliation between the students
and the business world. It is a dual
purpose club, striving to establish a
social, as well as a business relationship;
a strong brotherhood has been the
result.

Club members attend chapter meet-
ings once a week; in addition to these
regular meetings, the Delta Sigs benefit
from special tours to businesses and
industries. Prominent men from Lub-
bock and the surrounding areas speak
on their various vcKations.

The fraternity also sponsors an
annual Careers Conference for all stu-
dents in the spring. Available business-
men from all over the United States
travel to Lubbock to participate in this
conference; they counsel students on
job opportunities and requirements.

In the fail, the Delta Sigs spon-
sored the annual all-school Hell's Angels
Dance. Students dressed the part and
enjoyed the music of the Uniques. The ~_
club entertained Lubbock orphans with j|^
a holiday party after the Carol of the
Lights, besides sponsoring a Christmas
Dance for its members. Delta Sigma Pi
akunni were recognized by a Homecom-
ing Dance after the game. Every year
they have a dinner and a speaker to
celebrate their founding October 25.

WINNING FORM

Men's Residence Council, consisting
of two members from each dormitory,
connects the government of all the
men's halls. Its main purposes include
disciplinary actions, election procedures,
and providing an academic atmosphere.

The traveling grade point trophy
was awarded to Carpenter Hall this year
by Bledsoe Hall. Carpenter received the
honor because they had the highest grade
point average for the 1967-1968 school
year. The trophy will remain in Carpen-
ter until the fall of 1969.

The second annual Residence Hall
Week was held in April for the purpose
of recognizing work performed by all
the present officers. Activities during
the week included banquets honoring
all the outgoing officers and the elec-
tion of new officers for the next year.

The Men's Residence Council has
become more active in the National
Association of College and University

Residence Halls. More representatives
than ever before went to the convention
in Long Beach, California this year. An
effort is being made to bring the con-
vention to the Tech Campus in 1970.
Since the national organization is rather
small, Tech officers are promoting its
membership throughout colleges and
universities in Texas.

Other activities of the Men's Resi-
dence Council include the publishing
of Tips for Tech Men, which is to
orientate new students with all rules and
regulations, and the annual awarding
of an International Center for Arid and
Semi-arid Land Studies scholarship.
MRC also sends thousands of Christ-
mas cards and greetings to men over-
seas. The officers of the council are
John Perrin, president; Pat Simek, vice
president; and John Burch, secretary-
treasurer.

WANTED: Bledsoe

nrnt

Bledsoe is considered a better place
to live for the individual. The men
united fellowship and their willingness
to work together for their homecoming
project. They showed spirit in their
elaborate decoration this year. Follow-
ing the theme "Where the Action Is,"
it consisted of a mounted Red Raider
roping a SMU mustang. Clouds of dust
billowing from the hooves of the horses
contained current campus issues, such as
housing and the name change.

Academically, Bledsoe is rated
fourth in men's dorms. Their standards
have always been high, and the men
continue to look to the future for im-
provement.

Leadership qualities are portrayed
by the officers of Bledsoe: Rex David-
son, president; Alan Baker, vice presi-
dent; Gary Marcum, secretary; Stan
Feitel, treasurer; and Lloyd Jobe, rep-
resentative to Men's Residence Council.

The dorm holds mixers with vari-
ous girls' residence halls. At Christmas
they co-sponsor an all-school dance at
Robby's. These functions also unite
Bledsoe men socially.

The men are united in all phases
of intramural sports. Be it a football
game or a bowling tournament, they al-
ways try to bring prestige and recogni-
tion to their home away from home.
Bledsoe won the dorm league in both
football and soccer.

Carpenter Hall men are always on

"Go." With a dormitory supervisor like
Robert Foster, dorm life really swings.

This year Carpenter took first place
in the Residence Hall League of tug-of-
war, and also took top honors in the
co-ed division of volleyball. The resi-
dents were also very active with the
mixers in the girls' dorms.

In '67-'68, Carpenter had the hon-
or of having the highest GPA on cam-
pus.

When snow falls at Tech, Car-
penter and Wells enjoy it by having
their annual snow-ball fight. The cas-
ualty rate usually runs high, although

everyone has a good time.

Carpenter sponsored the annual Or-
phans Christmas Party. The men buy
presents for the children, and sing
Christmas carols while Santa distributes
the gifts. "Go-go Elves" were a big at-
traction for the- Carpenter Hall men.

In the Spring, Carpenter sponsored
an ice cream social for all the dorm
residents and their dates. Entertainment
was supplied by a band and a lot of
ice cream was consumed.

Officers for the year are: Harold
Lanham, president, Joe Burkhalter, vice
president, John Bifch, treasurer, parlia-
mentarian George Vaughn, and David
Hahn, secretary.

COLEMAN

OUT PERF0RMER8

Coleman, the newest dormitory on
the Tech campus, is headed for a repu-
table future. The hall has really been ac-
cepted well for being a new men's resi-
dence. It was only decided in the sum-
mer that Coleman would house men in-
stead of women.

All except one floor of the twelve
story building houses regular students
who have all the facilities of every other
men's residence hall and eat in the Wig-
gins Complex Cafeteria. There is one
floor composed of men students who
work full or part time. These students
do not have phones installed in their
rooms and can choose whether ar not
they wish to purchase a meal ticket. A
good percentage of students in Coleman
enjoy private rooms, while all enjoy the

quiet comfort of luxury living.

Officers of Coleman are Doug
Williams, president; Robert Johnson,
vice president; Sam Segars, secretary-
treasurer; and Henry Kelley, MRC rep-
resentative.

In the fall, they purchased a siren
to use at pep rallies and game time to
promote spirit. Coleman Hall placed
second in homecoming decorations. The
theme of their decorations was "Raider
Road to the Cotton Bowl." On plywood
boards, they had figures of all the
Southwest Conference mascots painted,
and the ones Texas Tech had already
defeated were smashed by a large figure
of a Red Raider.

Coleman takes part in intramural
football, basketball, and volleyball.

EXPLORE! WITH GASTON

Gaston Hall residents get in the
swing of school activities by participat-
ing in all intramurals. The events are
really stressed by Intramural Chairman
Johnny Blau. Each resident has a chance
to participate on football, basketball,
Softball, track, golf, handball, or ten-
nis teams.

For an added incentive, the hall
gives a $50 award to the person who
excels in intramural activities. They de-
termine this by adding up individual
intramural points.

Socially, Gaston fills the evenings
mixing with such women's residence
halls as Knapp, Drane, Wall, and
Gates. Because these mixers are so en-
joyable, Gaston men also serenade these
dorms at Christmas time.

Looking toward the academic part
of college life, Gaston residents strive
for success. The men always try to main-
tain a studious atmosphere around the
dorm. To commend success, they offer
a $50 scholarship to the person who
has the best academic record and can
also show a need for financial assist-
ance.

The men of Gaston Hall really
backed Tech in homecoming. They cre-
ated a beautiful decoration based on
the theme, "Tech, Where the Action
Is," and for this, they received third
place in the intra-dorm competition.

Officers of Gaston Hall are Theo
Gallier, president; Randy Feagan, vice-
president, David Bedford, secretary-treas-
urer; and Johnny Blau, intramural chair-
man. Jan Glenn was selected as sweet-
heart of the dorm.

DO YOUR OWN THING WITH

GORDON GUY9

Getting with the action, Gordon
Hall supported Tech's theme for
Homecoming, "Tech — Where the Ac-
tion is." The men of Gordon Hall are
always striving for an active participa-
tion in off-and on-campus activities.
They also cooperate with all activities
planned by the Men's Residence Coun-
cil.

The residents of Gordon Hall
combine with the women of Knapp,
Horn, and Drane Halls frequently for
mixers and are sometimes seen serenad-
ing these dorms. Another interest of the
men in Gordon is intramural programs.
All this is considered part of their dorm
life. During Qiristmas time, they sup-
port the Men's Residence Council by

helping to send Christmas cards to the
soldiers in Viet Nam.

Scholastic excellence is of great
importance to Gordon Hall men. They
are working to win back the highest
grade point average trophy given by the
Men's Residence Council. They lost the
trophy this year for the first time in
eight straight semesters. This fact has
proven to be extra incentive.

Gordon Hall is comprised of men
of all classifications. Elected officers of
Gordon Hall are Mackey Hancock,
president; Dick Hart, vice president;
Ronny Stevenson, secretary; Rick Elton,
treasurer; and Jackie Smith and Harold
Epperson, Men's Residence Council
representatives.

MURDOUGH TAKES OFF

Above: Bowling is a good means of entertainment during study breaks. Below: When it's time to
goof off, there's always room for one more, even if it means squeezing a little.

Murdough Hall started the year
with real enthusiasm. A great percentage
of the hall turned out to display spirit
at the first pep assembly. In reward for
their efforts, the Saddle Tramps award-
ed them the spirit stick. This was the
first time for Murdough to receive the
stick.

Since they live under coeducational
facilities with Stangel, women's hall,
Murdough has many mixers with their
next door neighbor. A Christmas party
was also put on by Murdough for Stan-
gel. Murdough is one of the two coedu-
cational dormitories on the Tech Cam-
pus, sharing coed laundry and snack
facilities with Stangel.

The men of Murdough support
intramural sports completely. They were
runner-up in the residence hall B-league
touch football this year and placed in
many of the other varied sports.

Officers of Murdough are John
Price, president; David Nail, vice-
president; Pete Sauermilch, secretary;
Pepper Hoops, treasurer; Louis Ander-
son and Colie Camp, Men's Residence
Council representatives; Rodger Bergs-
ma, intramural director; Thurxton Glo-
ver George, sergeant-at-arms.

During Christmas time, the men of Mur-
dough put on a special party for their
favorite, and closest women's dorm, Stangel.

Sneed Hall, the oldest men's dorm
on campus brought out its spirit at the
first of the year by winning the Saddle
Tramp spirit stick given at pep rallies.

Spirit was especially displayed dur-
ing Homecoming. The decoration done
by Sneed was a scale model of the
proposed fountain for the entrance to
the campus. For their efforts, the men
won first place in inter-dorm competi-
tion.

Each Christmas, the residents take
donations and have a large party for
fifty to sixty orphans. They buy small
toys and refreshments with the money
and have clowns from the Lions' Club
to entertain.

Athletically, Sneed's program is
well-rounded. At the start of the season,
the baseball team was in first place.
They also have an excellent cross-coun-
try team. They participate in football,
basketball, tennis and swimming also.

Elected officers of the dorm this
year were J. D. MacArthur, president;
Mitchell Davenport, vice president; Joe
Smith, secretary; Dick Owen, treasurer;
Larry Larimore, and Bill Hibbs, Men's
Residence Council representatives.

Sneed has a program to acquaint
the freshmen with upperclassmen, the
dorm, and the school. The men try to
instill pride in Texas Tech. The fresh-
men always make the Sneed banner
which never misses a pep rally.

"The only good Aggie is a dead Aggie," says Sneed Hall in a Red Raider pep rally skit.

Joe Smith goes to bat for the Sneed team. A scale model of the proposed entrance fountain won top Homecoming honors for Sneed.

residents. Thompson men excel aca-
demically, socially, and athletically. The
dorm stresses fellowship, unity and a
willingness to work with other people.

As an incentive for high academic
success, Thompson Hall has established
an Academic Council composed of 3.0
residents. The students help with study
halls and conduct a tutoring service
open to all of the Thompson residents.

The officers of Thompson Hall are

Whether it's searching through an old junk heap, playing around with cars, or taking a peek
through the fence, the men of Wells are always up to something exciting.

WILD WELLS

Wells comes on strong in all phases
of dormitory life. Trying to improve
their own living conditions, the men
have been working to raise money to
build a study room onto their lobby.
The project has not been completed but
plans are becoming reality.

Wells also has a program designed
to orientate freshmen. It emphasizes
school spirit and full development of
the individual. The program also helps
the freshman get adjusted to all the
hectic and fast ways of life in Wells
Hall.

Athletically, Wells will compete in
everything or anything. Intramurals and
the weight room in the basement of the
dormitory serve as a good form of exer-
cise. They excel in football, basketball
and baseball.

Wells was one of the few men's
residence halls to have a float in the
Homecoming Parade. Their hard work
went into the making of a float which
was a model of Jones Stadium. The
float had an eight foot Double-T on
the front.

Socially, Wells gives mixers with
women's residence halls. Once a year
they have a big party.

Officers of Wells Hall are Phil
West, president; Jim Vogt, vice presi-
dent; Russell Oliver, treasurer; Sam
Stomis, and Cy Cozart, Men's Residence
Council representative.

WEYMOUTH AFTER HOURS

Weymouth Hall for men is one of
the newer and more luxurious residence
halls. Chitwood and Weymouth have
separate formal lounges but share an
informal lounge and a game room with
pool tables and ping-pong tables. Wey-
mouth, Chitwood, and Coleman eat in
the Wiggins Complex Cafeteria and
share one main post office.

Elected officers of Weymouth this
year were Louis Birdwell, president;
Larry Whatley, vice president; Louis
Caplovitz, secretary; Jim Swink, treasur-
er; and Lyn McClellan and Phil Hall,
Men's Residence Council representa-
tives. Sally Yamini was elected Sweet-
heart.

Weymouth men combined with the
residents of Chitwood in preparing a
decoration for Homecoming. It was a
psychedelic theme with bright colors
and ultra-violet lights to boost the
Rdiders to the Cotton Bowl.

Weymouth residents were very en-
thusiastic at Christmas time. Many of
the men put twinkling colored lights
around their windows and displayed
other decorations. They responded in
full force to a formal dance given by
Chitwood women one week before the
holidays began.

NEXT YEAR

Tech footballers face their
two toughest opening games
in many years. In the first
contest, the Raiders meet Kan-
sas, 1969 Orange Bowl team.
Then, the Techsans collide
with the defending SWC
champions — the Texas Long-
horns.

Only two seniors graduated
off 1969's third place base-
ball team, but those players
were key performers — Jim
Montgomery and Jerry Hag-
gard. If their replacements
fare well, the team should do
likewise.

5-3-2 RECORD

Record crowds begin to pack Jones Stadium as the Raiders
go undefeated in their first five games. BY JIMMY SNOWDEN

Larry Alford (above) crosses ffie goal line after returnmg a UT punf
84 yards, giving Tech a 21-0 had over the Horns. Head Coach J. T.
King later worries about what to do as the visiting Horns begin to dose
the gap in the third quarter.

2-Sports Illustrated

As usual, anticipation of a possible trip to the Cotton
Bowl surrounded the Red Raiders as they prepared for the
season opener against Cincinatti. But, the poised and aggres-
sive Bearcats shocked Tech with a 10-10 tie. With three and
a half minutes to play, Cincy scored on a 53-yard pass to
overcome their 10-3 deficit.

Early in the game. Tech's Larry Alford returned a punt
52 yards, giving the Raiders possession on Cincy's 12 yard
line. Quarterback Joe Matulich finally scored as he punched
across from the two. Kenny Vinyard added the extra point,
giving Tech a 7-0 lead.

Cincinatti's Jim O'Brien, unawed by Tech's widely re-
spected kicking game, booted a 47-yard field goal to put the
Bearcats on the scoreboard in the second quarter.

A Raider drive faltered in the shadow of Cincy's goal
posts, and Vinyard tacked three more points onto the Tech
side of the ledger.

Stunned fans kept expecting the Raiders to somehow re-
verse the tide; but hopes never manifested themselves in
terms of points on the scoreboard, so Tech only tied Cincy.

Exhilarated fans come to the Texas game anxious to make the Horns the first
stepping stone enroute to the Cotton Bowl, Equally anxious to do away with
the Horns are coaches Tom Wilson (below, with headset) and John Conley.
Wilson is quarterback mentor, while Conley is first assistant and offensive

line coach. The week before, defensive tackle Jim Moylan (78) prepares
for the Texas encounter by manhandling a Cincinatti lineman. Moylan, a
senior from Eastland was a captain. He was later selected to play in the
Blue-Gray classic in Montgomery, Alabama.

RAIDERS MAKE EARLY BID

The Raiders squash Texas, Colorado State, and Texas A&M, then tie Mississippi State before losing to SMU during Homecoming.

€

Guarded optimism simmered among the 50, 167 fans
packed into Jones Stadium as they anticipated the opening
kickoff of the Tech-Texas game. Though disappointed by the
tie with Cincinatti the week before, the record number of
fans turned out to support the Raiders in the electric 31-22
victory over the Texas Longhorns.

A nearly flawless Tech kicking game provided the
margin of victory. Punt return artist Larry Alford stunned
Texas with four returns worth 160 yards and one touchdown.
Tech kicker Kenny Vinyard added to the Texas dilemma with
his sky-high punts, which were returned for zero yardage by
the hapless 'Horns.

Early in the game, Tech's defensive corps slapped UT
around while a well-oiled Raider offensive machine built
up a 14-0 lead. The first Tech possession culminated in
Roger Freeman's inspired charge into the end zone. After
taking a swing pass from Joe Matulich about 18 yards from
paydirt, Freeman slipped to the sideline. From there he
humbled the Texas defenders who met him at the ten, the
four, and again at the two before he carried another
Longhorn into the end zone with him.

After blunting Texas' counterattack, the Raiders blocked
a 32-yard field goal attempt. Speed-blessed Gary Golden
broke through from the outside and deflected the kick. Bruce
Dowdy, brilliant for his defensive end play all evening,
pounced on the ball on Tech's 48.

Later, Tech gave up the ball via the punt, but got it
right back as Alford knocked the ball loose from Ted Koy.
Joe Brown recovered for the Raiders. Freeman scored the
second of his three touchdowns after Matulich had directed
Tech to the UT one-yard line. Vinyard's second conversion
of the night gave Tech a 14-0 lead.

Later, defensive back Alford did his thing well enough
to cover 84 yards with a Texas punt and give Tech a three-
touchdown lead as the first half ended.

A strange benevolence from the Raiders gave Texas
easy points in the third quarter. First, the 'Horns scored
after a Tech fumble. Then Alford, growing fond of long punt
returns, managed to put Tech back into good field position
after carrying a Bradley punt 47 yards to the Texas two.
Freeman then concluded his scoring show with a two-yard
smash, giving Tech a 22-point lead.

Texas began to retaliate. Led by James Street at quarter-
back, a glue-fingered end named Charles Speyrer, and Darrell
Royals -umber one choice All- America halfback, Chris Gil-
bert, who massed a whopping 29 yards for the evening, the
'Horns scon ; Iwice more.

Though Tr\as closed the gap and gave the Raiders a
scare, defensive stars Richard Campbell, Ronnie Rhoads,
and Dowdy halted Texas drives with fumble recoveries and
interceptions. With time running out on Texas, Vinyard
booted a 23-yard field goal, putting the game out of reach.

Remembering the disappointing tie with non-conference
foe Cincinatti, the Red Raiders met Colorado State and blew
the visitors out of the stadium, 43-13.

Though Colorado State was in another conference, the
game counted toward their league standings because of
scheduling difficulties. Despite their added incentive, the
visitors weakened after showing early signs of strength. After
finding the chink in CSU's armor, the Raiders' persistent
pressure and scoring ability felled the offensive-minded
Bearcats.

Bobby Allen opened the scoring with his reception of the
first of Joe Matulich's three touchdown passes. Vinyard
upped the score to 7-0 with the extra point.

Countering Tech's score with double reverses and screen
passes, Colorado State quickly moved into striking distance,
but were unable to cross the goal line against a staunch
Raider defense. CSU narrowed the gap, however, with a 30-
yard field goal. Tech's Vinyard then blasted a 47-yarder for
three points, entering the record book with his 15th career field
goal for the Red and Black. Colorado State tied the score
at 10-10 with eight minutes left in the first half.

From then on, it was all Tech, with the exception of
Ram All-America candidate Bill Kishman's interception of a
Matulich pass.

Allen's second touchdown reception and Roger Freeman's
three-yard plunge ignited Tech's scoring onslaught.

Matulich directed a 90-yard drive which he capped with
a scoring toss to David May. The touchdown gave Tech a
31-13 lead.

When Tech reserves took over. Lane Wade piled up 60
yards rushing from his quarterback position, to be the game's
leading rusher. Jerry Don Sanders kicked field goals of
45 and 30 yards, but missed the extra point try after Wade
passed to Charlie Stewart for a touchdown.

Coach J. T. King's reserves drove to Colorado State's
one-yard line, threatening to score again. Time ran out how-
ever, and the Raiders marched off with the 43-13 victory.

Tech's second major hurdle in the conference chase
was the all-important clash with Texas A&M in the Aggies'
home stadium. Raider pride and poise prevailed over the
Aggie War Hymn as Tech banged out a 21-16 victory.

Miscues nearly killed the Tech effort, as they lost
three of their six fumbles. Fullback Jackie Stewart compen-
sated for everyone's fumbles as he gained 79 key yards
in 16 carries to lead Tech rushers.

One Tech fumble early in the first period gave the
Aggies a three-point lead. When Larry Alford lost possession
while returning a punt. Aggie sensation Dave Elmendorf
grabbed the ball in mid-air. Unable to score the touchdown,
the Aggies settled for a Charlie Riggs' field goal. Minutes
later, Riggs had another opportunity, but his kick fell short.

Tech eliminated their mistakes long enough to score
and moved into the lead on Stewart's crushing three-yard
touchdown run. The drive covered 62 yards, most of which
came on tough running by Matulich, Roger Freemar, and
Jimmy Bennett.

Then the Aggies began to dominate play by keeping Tech
bottled up near the Raider end zone. Tech defensive play
was nearly flawless, but twice the Aggie punter kickid the
ball out of bounds within the Raider two-yard line. Both
times, Kenny Vinyard was able to counter by kicking the

ball back into Aggie territory. The second time, however,
the Aggies mounted a 56-yard touchdown drive, and it
appeared that the Aggies would win by beating Tech at
its strong point — the kicking game.

Tech's next drive was stalled, and Vinyard was called
on to punt. The sna]) sailed over his head. He grabbed
the ball at the Raider goal line. With an Aggie chasing him
all the way, he ran almost to the sideline and booted the
ball to the Tech 42. His phenomenal performance on the
play turned the tide for Tech.

The Raiders moved into the lead for keeps as Stewart
scored from two yards out, after Matulich had driven the
team 80 yards in 15 plays. Key plays in the drive were
passes to Bobby Allen, who played despite a broken finger.

Charlie Evans scored Tech's last touchdown on a seven-
yard pass from Matulich. Vinyard kicked his third extra
point to give Tech a 21-10 lead.

The Aggies scored once more, but failed on the attempt
for two points. Behind by five points, Hargett and the
Aggies threatened again, but defensive ends Eddy Windom
and Richard Campbell mauled the enemy quarterback, causing
him to fumble. Giant defensive tackle Jim Moylan gathered in
the loose ball. The Raiders then merely ran out the clock.

Sports lllustrated-7

Tony Butler's face reflects the determination of the Raiders in overcoming
TCU and the flu bug for the Dad's Day victory.

For the second year in a row, Mississippi State managed
to embarrass the Raiders, this time with a 28-28 tie.

MSU quarterback Tom Pharr was again the chief archi-
tect of the Raider downfall as he passed for 293 yards, good
for 21 points. Pharr's fourth quarter heroics kept Tech from
pulling out the victory as his play-calling enabled the Bulldogs
to control the ball.

Tech's Jackie Stewart provided the inconsistent Raider
offense with 100 yards on 19 carries. Joe Matulich was
another Tech standout, especially during the two touchdown
drives he directed in the final quarter.

Tech's first score came on an 80-yard drive capped by
Matulich's 11-yard pass to Bobby Allen. After Pharr scram-
bled 20 yards for a Bulldog score, the Mississippians com-
pleted a halfback option pass for 80 yards and the touch-
down. Before Tech could recover, the Bulldogs tacked on
another score to lead 21-7 at the half.

Both squads scored again in the third period. The Tech
six-pointer came on Matulich's second touchdown pass, this
one a four-yard pass to Freeman.

Matulich, Stewart, and Allen combined on a 87-yard
march early in the fourth quarter. Freeman put the points on
the board with a three-yard smash. Finally, the Raider defense
began to stop Pharr. Then, Tech was able to tie the score.
Still using Stewart to keep the defense honest, Matulich cooly
directed the Raiders to the score. David May hauled in a 32-
yard pass from Matulich for the six points. Kenny Vinyard
tied the score with his fourth extra point kick of the evening.

Bobby Allen led Tech receivers with seven receptions
for 96 yards. Swirling winds in the stadium hampered Vinyard
as he missed three field goal attempts, any of which could
have put Tech over the top.

The surprisingly poor pass defense proved to be an omen
of the Raider fortunes against SMU's Chuck Hixon.

Another record crowd squeezed into Jones Stadium as
Tech hosted SMU for Homecoming. The 50,352 fans saw the
Mustangs overcome a ten-point deficit in the second quarter
and take a 39-18 victory.

Plagued with fumbles throughout the season, Tech again
contributed heavily to the opponent's efforts. Second quarter
fumbles by Butler and Matulich gave SMU a 14-10 lead. A
53-yard SMU field goal put Tech behind 17-10.

Continuing the string of Raider misfortune, the Tech
center snapped the ball over punter Kenny Vinyard's head and
into the end zone. Vinyard, unable to duplicate the play
he made in the Texas A&M game, was tackled behind the goal
line for a safety and two more SMU points. The Mustangs
took a nine-point lead.

Before the half ended, Tech got a drive moving but
ran out of gas on the SMU four. Matulich had gone back to
pass, but he found his receivers covered and was tackled.

As if Tech was not having enough trouble with their
own miscues, an SMU fumble also gave the Mustangs six
points. A tough goal line stand appeared to stop the Mustangs,
as Tech had held out for three plays. On the last play, how-
ever, SMU's Hixson was downed a yard short. He fumbled.
The ball bounced laterally, where another SMU back casually
picked it up and stepped into the end zone.

Once more the Mustangs capitalized on a Tech error. A
Matulich pass was intercepted and returned for a touchdown
from the Tech 36-yard line.

Tech scores came on a 36-yard excursion by Matulich,
a short smash by Roger Freeman, Tom Sawyer's two-point
conversion run, and a field goal and one PAT by Kenny
Vinyard.

Tech re-asserted itself as a conference contender by

crushing Rice 38-15 before a regional television audience.

A strong Tech ground game led to the spoiling of the

Owl Homecoming. Raider rushers compiled 259 yards and

scored five touchdowns.

Roger Freeman led the Tech ground gainers with 83
yards on 21 carries and two touchdowns. He did so despite
having spent most of the previous week in a hospital bed.
A ball-hawking Raider secondary also added to the
Raider field day. Tech intercepted six Rice passes and re-
covered one Owl fumble. Reserve linebacker Carroll Sullivan
had one interception. He later caused and recovered a Rice
fumble.

Tech and Rice traded miscues on their first possessions,
as Tech lost a fumble and Rice had a pass intercepted. Later
in the first period. Rice had the misfortune of punting the
ball to the Southwest Conference's premier punt returner,
Larry Alford. His 15-yard return put Tech in business at
the Raider 46.

Quarterback Joe Matulich took charge and led Tech to
its first score of the game. He capped the 54-yard drive
with a 30-yard trip around the Rice flanks. Vinyard's
conversion made the score 7-0, Tech.

In the second quarter, Tom Sawyer took over for
Matulich and directed Tech to a 14-point lead. Tony Butler
got the score on a one-yard smash. Vinyard converted.

Vinyard tacked on three more points with a 30-yard
field goal, late in the second half.

Another Alford return led to a Tech score, this one
coming early in the third period. Freeman scored on a short
run. Vinyard's conversion gave Tech a 21-0 lead.

Sullivan's fumble recovery in the fourth period enabled
Tech to counter the Rice touchdown which ended the third
quarter. Freeman scored the second of his two touchdowns.
Raider subs took over, allowing Rice but eight more points.

Tech stayed in a four-way tie for first place with the
31-14 trouncing of Texas Christian University.

At game time, Techsans were not particularly worried
about what TCU had. They were more concerned with what
the Raiders had — namely the flu. A dozen first stringers and
nearly a dozen other Raiders came down with the flu bug only
hours before the opening kickoff.

Catastrophe seemed certain, especially when the visiting
Froggies unveiled a surprisingly potent passing attack. TCU
got a 14-point first quarter lead on a 65-yard pass from Ted
Fay to Linzy Cole and huge Ross Montgomery's one-yard
plunge.

Bobby Allen's razzle-dazzle lifted the gloom and ignited
the Raider attack. On the kickoff following TCU's second
touchdown. Lane Wade handed off to Allen on the reverse.
Allen took the ball at the Tech 22 and scooted for what
seemed like miles through the Froggie defenders, for a 57-
yard return. Five plays later, Lubbock's Charlie Evans
grabbed a seven-yard touchdown pass from Matulich.

In the second quarter, the Raiders bottled TCU up near
the Froggie end zone. Defensive tackle Wayne McDermand
then smothered a TCU fumble on the visitors' four-yard stripe.
With the ailing Tom Sawyer replacing the ailing Matulich,
Tech scored the tying touchdown on Sawyer's three-yard
pass to Evans.

Slightly less than half way through the third period,
Tech moved ahead 21-14 as Roger Freeman scored on a six-
yard run. He took a Sawyer pitch-out on the play, which
capped a 60-yard drive. Sawyer, Freeman, and Jimmy
Bennett did most of the damage in the drive with their
rushes.

Not content with merely turning the tide in the game,
Allen also scored the game-breaking touchdown. Still in the
third quarter, Allen beat his defenders on a long pass pattern
and pulled in a perfect Sawyer pass for a 71-yard touchdown.
Vinyard booted his fourth extra point of the game, giving
Tech a 14-point advantage.

Early in the fourth quarter, Vinyard ended the game's
scoring with a 28-yard field goal, putting Tech ahead 31-14.

Sawyer was the game's leading rusher, with 107 yards,
most coming in the second half. He also completed four of
eight passes for 79 yards and two touchdowns.

Vinyard punted eight times for a 40.1 average, besides
racking up seven points with his talented toe.

Tech topped TCU in practically every department, with
136 yards more in total offense and nearly twice as many
first downs.

Tech concluded its season with two more SWC games,
one against Baylor, whom the Raiders had never defeated
in Waco.

Over the top of the Texas line dives fullback Jackie Stewart (34) behind the blocking of Roger Freen)an (43), Bobby Mler\ (44), and Jackie Booe (51).

While Mike Holiaday (79) and Tony Butler (30) block, Roger Freeman (43) and Tom Sawyer (13 )watch Jackie Stewart (34) fumble against Arkansas.

Dreams of playing in the Cotton Bowl grew dim as Tech
dropped a conference game to Baylor, 42-28.

A defensive battle marked the first quarter action, as
neither team managed a score. A Raider goal line stand
held out to thwart the Bears' only early offensive.

Baylor's Steve Stuart began to make things happen in
the second quarter, however. He drove the Baptists 71
yards in 11 plays to give Baylor a 7-0 lead.

Techsans had it all figured out. "If the Raiders beat
Arkansas and if A&M beats Texas, then Tech goes to the
Cotton Bowl," they surmised. The only problem was that
Arkansas was not too impressed by Tech's "THINK COTTON"
bumper stickers. "Eat more pork" chants did little more
than break the monotony in Arkansas' 42-7 victory.

The win propelled the Hogs into the Sugar Bowl, since
Texas massacred A&M to earn the Cotton Bowl bid.

RAIDERS DROP TO FOURTH

Tech sophomore defensive end Bruce Dowdy fell on a
Baylor fumble at the Bear ten, giving Tech the opportunity
to tie the game. Tom Sawyer led Tech to the five, then
romped in from there on the next play. Vinyard tied the
score with his extra point.

Safety Gary Golden snared a Stuart pass, giving Tech
possession at the Baylor 40. Sawyer again headed the Raider
effort. He passed and ran the Raiders to the Baylor five.
Two plays later, he hit Charlie Evans in the end zone for
a 14-7 lead at the end of the half.

Baylor scored on a 51-yard drive to open the scoring
in the second half. Golden blocked the extra point kick.

Tech retaliated with two scores. Dickie Grigg covered
a Baylor fumble on the Bear three. Two plays later, Freeman
scored from the one. Richard Campbell stopped the next
Bear drive with a pass interception. Eight plays later. Freeman
scored again. Vinyard kicked his fourth extra point of the
game, giving Tech a 28-13 lead. But Baylor outscored Tech
21-0 m the last 16 minutes to take the win.

If Texas and SMU thought Tech was really being gen-
erous with fumbles and interceptions, they were mistaken.
The Raiders were only warming up for Arkansas. Tech killed
nine of their own drives with turnovers.

If it is possible for a defense to give up 42 points
and still play a good game, then Tech's defensive corps did
a good job. They held the pass-minded Hogs to three com-
pletions worth 30 yards and one score.

In the second quarter, Tom Sawyer led Tech to their
only touchdown, hitting David May twice for 43 yards. With
the ball on Arkansas' seven yard line, Tech turned to the
ground game. Stewart eventually put the ball over from the
one. Vinyard kicked the PAT following Stewart's score.

The loss, coupled with Texas' rout of the Aggies, put
Tech in fourth place. Arkansas and Texas tied for first, with
6-1 conference records. SMU placed third with only two con-
ference losses.

Coach J. T. King, graduated 22 seniors off the squad.
Eight of those graduating were later contacted by the pros.

EXPERIENCE -FROSH GOAL

Although the Picadors completed the season with only a 1-3 record, the Frosh gained valuable team and individual experience.

Under the coaching of Bearl Huff-
man, each 1968 Tech Picador not only
gained team experience, but was also
given a chance to display his playing
ability, as the team compiled a 1-3
season record.

The Picadors began their season
with a journey to Fayetteville to meet
the Arkansas Shoats. Shortly after
a scoreless first quarter, Charles Nap-
per hit Ken Perkins for a Tech TD,
with Clifton Curtis adding the extra
point. The Shoats soon narrowed the
gap to 7-6 as they drove 81 yards in
ten plays, but failed to make the
conversion. A Picador field goal
gave Tech a 10-6 halftime lead, which
held through the third quarter. In

the final period, however, the Shoats
capitalized on a pass interception and
a 55-yard punt return to win the
contest, 21-10.

The Picadors next met the frosh
team from Oklahoma University, a
game in which quarterbacks Jack Mil-
dren and Dale Rebold met once again
after dueling for the 4-A State High
School Championship in 1967. Indeed,
Mildren got sweet revenge as the OU
defense held Tech scoreless during the
first three quarters of play, while the
OU offense racked up 28 points. Dur-
ing the final period, however, the
Picadors came to life as they began
that quarter with an 80-yard drive led
by the passing arm of Rebold.

Miles Langhennig scored from the
one; the two-point conversion attempt
failing. The next two Picador scores
took place in only eight seconds.
Thomas Finley recovered an OU fum-
ble on Oklahoma's 23, and four plays
later Rebold hit Perkins in the end
zone to make the score 28-12. The
Picador on-sides kick was recovered
by Phillip Barney, and on the next
play Rebold hit Gary Kennedy for
another Tech touchdown. Once again
the two-point conversion failed making
the tally 28-18 with 1:10 remaining
on the clock. Oklahoma recovered the
Tech on-sides kick and found enough
time left for Mildren to hit Shelly for
the 34-18 win.

Tech's Picadors combined an ef-
fective offense and a bruising defense
to snatch a victory over the Rebels
from UT at Arlington. Although the
Rebs were first on the scoreboard, the
Pics soon made their mark as Lang-
hennig scored a TD. Curtis' attempted
conversion was blocked making the
tally 7-6 at half.

After Curtis booted a 40-yard field
goal early in the third period, the
Pics chalked up another touchdown
and two-point conversion. The Rebs
scored once again, but allowed a Pic
safety, giving Tech a 19-13 win.

Plagued by interceptions and fum-
bles, the Picadors dropped the final
game of the season to the frosh from
Texas A&M. Although the Pics were
first to score on a 17-yard field goal,
a later Tech drive was halted when
A&M intercepted a Heboid pass on the
Tech 40, setting up an Aggie TD.
Before the half, A&M racked up three
more points on an 18-yard field goal,
giving the Aggies a 10-3 edge.

A pass interception by Ken Perkins
early in the third quarter resulted in
a Picador score which tied the game.
An 18-yard field goal put Tech out
front 13-10. Late in the fourth period,
A&M took advantage of a fumble to
score. Although the final drive by the
Picadors was determined, the clock
ran out before Tech reached paydirt,
giving the 16-13 win to A&M.

NEW ERA UNDERWAY

The signing of Bob Bass as head basketball coach signaled the beginning of a new era. Bass, a 5'8" dynamo, and his assistant
Gerald Corky Oglesby tirelessly began their quest for top recruits, in hopes of building a winner.

By JIMMY SNOWDEN

After Gene Gibson had received his final accatades from fans and Sad-
die Tramps (below), the campus anxiously awaited the naming of Gib-
son's successor. As the days grew into weelcs, and recruiting time ran
short, the job awaiting a new coach became that much more difficult. At
last. Bob Bass was hired. He soon named his assistant, Gerald Oglesby
from Kentucky, who immediately hit the recruiting trails. Initial fruits
of their efforts are seen (far left) as Bass signs his first player, Steve
Smith, honorable-mention all-state from Kentucky, and (left) as Oglesby
meets prospects Jeff Haliburton and Jeff Lake at the airport.

The hiring of Bob Bass as head basketball coach repre-
sented the satisfactory culmination of the efforts of at least
two parties. On one hand, Bass was looking for security.
He apparently found what he was looking for as he signed
the five-year, $18,000 contract.

On the other hand, those looking for a winning coach
for Tech must have also been satisfied with the hiring of
Bass, whose teams have reached playoff competition for 15
consecutive years.

Prior to coming to Tech, Bass was coach of the
American Basketball Association's Denver Rockets. At Den-
ver, he posted records good enough for playoff competition,
but fell short of the championship.

More importantly, he built a strong rapport with his
players and fans. Reportedly, it was Bass who lit the fire
that turned Denver residents into rabid ABA fans. The
Denver players performed to their limits for Bass, who was
considered one of the two best coaches in the ABA. There,

his strategies were new and exciting — and they usually
worked.

The same must have been true at Oklahoma Baptist
University, where Bass coached for 15 years, winning an
NAIA National Championship and two runner-up posts
during his last three years.

In addition to the above successes, Bass won six Okla-
homa Collegiate Conference championships, six NAIA Dis-
trict 9 championships and won 14 of 19 games at NAIA
National Championships.

With hopes of continuing such trends at Tech, Bass
said he first needed a good guard, to complement 6-0 Steve
Williams, and a good big man.

Bass's assistant oame from a seemingly unlikely source —
the track coaching staff at Western Kentucky University.
Gerald Oglesby had never coached any basketball, but was
picked, Bass said, "because he's a fantastic recruiter."

From the season's opening tipoff against Loy-

Seriously hampered by the loss of four top per-
formers due to early injuries and scholastic in-

In Tech's season opener, the Red
Raiders hosted Loyola's Wolfpack and
emerged with the first of their five
non-conference victories.

Although obviously crippled by
the losses of senior Wayne Schneider
and sophomore David Johnson to pre-
season injuries, the Raiders stifled a
last minute Loyola comeback bid and
coasted to a surprisingly easy first-
game win over the New Orleans visi-
tors, 79-75. Senior Jerry Haggard and
sophomore Steve Williams shared
Tech's highscoring honors with 17
points apiece.

In the second of a three-game

home stand the Red Raiders enter-
tained the University of Colorado Buf-
faloes, possessors of a commodity the
Techsans were considerably lacking in
— heis;ht.

Colorado center Ron Smith, 7-3,
towered over the Raiders' 6-5 tallman
Steve Hardin, as did two other Buff
starters. The Rocky Mountain invaders
had to come from behind, however, to
claim a slim 81-77 victory.

The Raiders fell for their second
loss of the year when they dropped an
85-80 double-overtime decision to the
Wildcats of the University of Arizona.
Hardin riddled the visitors' defenses

for 17 points, but a three-point play
in the game's closing seconds gained
an overtime period for Arizona and
secured an eventual Wildcat victory.

Tech's quint was pinned for its
third loss of the season as a result of
an 83-74 licking at the hands of the
Oklahoma Sooners.

Steve Williams paced the Raider
scorers with 15 points, but only
superior rebounding saved the Tech-
sans from embarrassment as they hit
an unimpressive 36.8 per cent of their
shots from the floor.

Dobb's

high school reunion of sorts for
Raiders Haggard and- Hardin. Per-
forming against their former high
school mentor and ex-Red Raider,
Houston Baptist coach Gerald Myers,
the duo sparked the Techsans to a
55-49 win.

Hoping to even their season
record at three wins and three losses,
the Red Raiders journeyed to New
Orleans to battle Tulane's Green Wave.
They should have stayed home.

Tulane's powerful offense tallied
114 points, the most ever scored
against a Tech team, as opposed to the
Raiders' 91, in handing Coach Gene
Gibson's charges their fourth setback
of the year. With sophomore Jerry
Turner pacing the Raiders' scoring
with 17 points, the Techsans fired 41
per cent of their shots through the
basket — good, but not good enough.

Tech attacked the win column for
the third time when the Raiders met
the Centenary Gentlemen during the
Christmas holidays. Tech's speedy
courtmen collected a 90-64 victory, but
their loss was greater than their gain
when early in the second half senior
Joe Dobbs fell and suffered a broken
arm.

Sophomore Clay Van Loozen
paced the Big Red attack with 18
points.

Eager to topple a Southwest
Conference foe, the Indians of Mc-
Murry College traveled to Lubbock
and did just that, edging Tech's Red
Raiders, 82-80, on a last-second
jumper.

Although McMurry led much of
the way, the Techsans began chipping
away the Indian margin late in the
second half, finally tying the score at
62-all. Haggard and soph Mike Oakes
led Tech's scoring effort with 17 points
apiece, but the time clock coupled with
fierce determination on the part of
McMurry eventually won out.

Win number four came in a big
way for the Raiders. Tech not only
outscored its opposition by 20 points;
but for the first time in three seasons,
the Raiders smashed the century mark,
bombing Midwestern, 103-83.

The victory, spearheaded by the
16-point performances of Van Loozen,
Haggard and Hardin, boosted the
Raiders' season mark to 4-5.

Tech hit the .500 mark for the
first time since the second game of the
season when the Raiders downed the
Angelo State Rams, 95-80, in their
final non-conference bout. Van Loozen
led the 50 per cent Tech scoring effort,
ripping the cords for 22 points.

CAGERS ENTER
CIRCUIT RACE

Stunning victories and heart-
breaking losses marked the Red Raid-
ers' Southwest Conference perform-
ance, with the circuit opener against
Texas A&M setting the style for the
games to follow.

Down by as many as 18 points to
the pre-season favorite and eventual
loop-champion Aggies, the visiting
Techsans unreeled a spectacular rally
that left them but one point behind
their frantic hosts with seconds re-
maining on the clock. A&M, however,
regained possession of the ball and
controlled it long enough to claim a
narrow 85-84 win. Steve Hardin paced
the Raider scoring with 20 points and
collected nine rebounds, one short of
the total recorded by team leader Jerry
Turner.

Tech's cagers evened their confer-
ence record at 1-1 when they toppled
the Rice Owls, 88-82, largely on the
strength of outstanding performances
of a trio of sophomores — Turner,
Steve Williams and Clay Van Loozen.

In addition to spearheading
Tech's defensive effort with 11 re-
bounds, Turner contributed nine
points to the Raider attack, six of them
coming in the final two-and-one-half
minutes of play. Williams shot with
deadly accuracy, hitting on four of five
field goal attempts and a perfect seven
of seven free throws in accumulating
his 15 point total, while Van Loozen
led Tech scorers with a sizzling 23
point performance.

Turner was once again the man of
the hour when the Raiders battled the
Baylor Bears in their third conference
outing. The 6-2 forward's 15 points
and 17 rebounds proved to be a major
factor in netting for the Techsans their
second loop victory, 73-70, in a game
played before a regional television
audience.

Still limping from the crippling
injuries inflicted earlier in the season,
the Raiders encountered yet more
stumbling blocks before the first round
of SWC play came to an end. Coach

87-77 to SMU and 64-53 to Arkansas

the first half with a 56-49 victory over

RAIDERS FINISH IN FOURTH PLACE TIE WITH RICE

half of Southwest Conference action
sporting a respectable, if unimpressive,
slate of three wins and four- losses and
promptly challenged the Mustangs of
SMU to a return match.

Raider captain Jerry Haggard
popped the net for 14 points, but 10
costly Tech turnovers and 24 points
from the hot-hand of SMU's Bill
Voight plus 21 more from teammate
Gene Phillips doomed Tech's efforts by
a score of 84-65. During the course of

The Red Raiders took their
second thumping in a row, this one at
the hands of the Norm Wintermeyer
—led Horned Frogs of TCU, 99-79, in
a game played in Fort Worth. The
Frogs' 99 points, 28 of them scored by
Wintermeyer, equaled the most ever
tallied against a Tech team in SWC
play. Sophomore Larry Wood came
off the bench to spark the Raiders with
a 20 point outburst, but the Techsans'
40.6 shooting percentage fell far short
of TCU's 53 per cent.

Against the University of Arkan-
sas, Haggard's 22-foot jump shot with
four seconds remaining in the game
gave the Red Raiders their fourth
conference victory of the season, a
59-57 win over the Razorbacks.

The score was knotted at 57

apiece with the Raiders in control of
the basketball and 23 seconds showing
on the scoreboard clock when Tech
called time-out to set up the final play.
Although no one was specifically
tabbed to take the last shot, it was to
be made with not _more than five
seconds remaining in the game. With
eight seconds left the ball was passed
to Haggard. The senior guard proved
equal to the occassion, shoving the
Techsans over the top by two points.

coach Shelby Metcalf replaced 6-1
Sonny Benefield with 7-0 Steve Niles
to jump against Tech's 5-10 Jerry
Haggard. Red Raider emotion again
reached a fever-pitch when, with two
seconds left, Steve Williams hit what
appeared to be the winning basket,
only to be charged with traveling.

Tech followers, some 9, 150
strong, angrily shouted their disap-
proval. Seemingly robbed of a dra-
matic victory, Gibson voiced his own
disappointment, saying, "They took it
away from us."

Tech's second encounter with the
Rice Owls had all the early appear-
ances of an easy win for the Big Red.
The Raiders established leads of 17
and 16 points in the first and second
halves, respectively, but when Wood,
Williams and Turner fouled out; and
the Owls got hot, it was all the
Techsans could do to hang on for a
slim, 84-83 victory.

The Raiders' lead had slipped to
84-81 when, with Rice, in control of
the basketball and five seconds show-

ing on the clock, the Owls called
time-out to plot their final strategy.
Tech's cagers, in the meantime, elected
to stand motionless on defense, avoid-
ing a foul and the possibility of a
three-point play, but allowing Rice to
add two points to its total.

Williams paced Tech's offensive
effort, tossing 24 points through the
basket before he was forced to the
sidelines with 6:53 remaining in the
contest. Closely trailing the red-headed
sophomore were Hardin with 20 points
and Haggard with 15.

Gibson, who had been notified
earlier that his contract would not be
renewed at the season's end, collected
his 100th coaching victorv at Tech
when his charges lambasted the Uni-
versity of Texas Longhorns, 82-69.

In a game well-played by all the
Raiders, Hardin sparkled, both offen-
sively and defensively. The 6-5 junior
ripped the cords for 29 points and
grabbed eight rebounds in directing
the Techsans to the largest SWC
victory margin of the year.

After leading by a substantial
margin throughout most of the game,

the Red Raiders dropped their season
finale to Baylor's Bears, 65-63, on an
Eddie Frazier layup with three seconds
remaining.

Frazier had earlier knotted the
score at 63-all and Tech called time-out
with seven seconds to play. On the
Raiders' throw-in, however, Frazier
darted between the ball and its
intended recipient, intercepted, and
drove toward the basket with the
winning bucket.

Haggard's 14 points were just two
short of pace-setter Hardin's 16 and
gave the scrappy guard a three-year
SWC total of 439 points, tenth among
Tech's all-time conference scorers.

The loss dropped Tech's season
record to 11-13 and conference mark
to 6-8, still good enough for a fourth
place tie with Rice University. Steve
Hardin emerged as the Raiders'
leading scorer in SWC action with 194
points to his credit and was awarded
all-conference honorable mention
along with teammates Jerry Turner,
whose 169 SWC rebounds was best
among the Red Raiders, and Steve

undefeated team of the previous year,
but the Picadors did manage to pro-
vide Coach Gerald Coppedge with a
few bright spots.

Inconsistent shooting from the
floor and a rather weak defense com-
bined to furni;h the Pics with only one
victory in their first six games. The
frosh allowed their opponents an aver-
age of 100 points per game while hit-
ting only 82.8 themselves.

The first game broke the Pic win
streak that extended back to 1966-67
when they dropped a 93-79 decision to
the Midwestern junior varsity. They
managed to improve their offense by
the second game against New Mexico

The 1968-69 Picadors fell short in their drive for a second straight unde-
feated season under Coach Gerald Coppedge. However, several individuals

showed promise as future Red Raiders.

The 1968-69 Picadors are; Danny Powell, Stanley Bower, Gary Grinsfielder, James
Gressett, Leslie Hanson, Lance Morris, Coach Gerald Coppedge, Mike Rogers,
Jack Pierce, Spencer Marcum, Terry Henderson, Don Seba, and Stanley Sadler.
It was the fourth season for Coppedge as Pic coach. During his first three

years here at Tech, he compiled a 29-5 record, his finest season being last year
when the Picadors were J2-0. A high scoring offense was their trademark as
they scored over 100 points in eight of their gsmes. The Picadors were 17-5 after
his first two seasons.

The freshmen went on to finish
the first half of the season with a 1-5
mark, losing games to the Hardin-Sim-
mons freshmen 112-79, Lubbock
Christian College 93-84, and South
Plains College 135-83.

The second half of the Picadors'
season showed a remarkable resem-
blance to that of the Red Raider var-
sity, their games being characterized by
some brilliant play, and losing two
close games. The Pics began a three-
game winning streak by defeating
Wayland Baptist Collesre in I nbbock
80-76. They were led by Lance Morris
with a hijrh of 27 points, the hiarhest
individual performance by a Picador
the entire season. Jack Pierre also hit
for 14 points.

The second win of the streak was
at the expense of the West Texas State
fre=hmen. Again, in a close game, the
Pics won 77-73. Mike Rogers led all
scorers with 19 points followed by
Morris with 16. Jack Pierce and Terry
Henderson contributed 12 and 11
points respectively.

Before a large crowd in the Coli-
seum, the Picadors played one of their
better games of the season, defeating

South Plains College by the score of
60-58. In a game that saw the lead
change hands several times, the Pics
proved they could come from behind
and maintain their lead. Excellent re-
bounding by Terry Henderson and deft
ball handling by Mike Rogers allowed
the Picadors to avenge an earlier 52
point defeat at the hands of SPC.
South Plains was coached by former
Red Raider star Dub Malaise.

The Picadors hit a remarkable 26
of 31 free throws. They were led by
Mike Rogers with 18 points and by
Henderson with 14.

The Picadors lost their next game
in overtime to the Hardin-Simmons
freshmen 81-74. The game was tied at
the end of regulation play 69-69. High
point man was Mike Rogers with 19
points, followed closely by Spencer
Marcum who scored 18. Terry Hender-
son and Lance Morris hit for 15 points
each.

Their final victory came against
Lubbock Christian College, whom they
had lost to earlier in the season. It was
another close game, the Pics winning
by four points, 61-57. Spencer Mar-
cum hit 10 shots from the field to lead

all scorers with 20 points. Danny
Powell and Rogers each contributed 13
points to the victory.

The freshmen ended their season
in Canyon against the West Texas
freshmen, losing 91-73. Lance Morris
led the Pics with 21 points, followed
by Mike Rogers with 12, Danny
Powell with 11, and Spencer Marcum
with 10.

The Picadors wound up with a
season record of 5 wins against 7 loss-
es. However, the record does not in-
dicate the improvement made by the
Picadors during the latter half of the
season.

The Pics averaged 76.8 points per
game during their 12 game schedule.
They allowed their opponents an aver-
age of 86.7 points per game.

Leading scorer for the freshmen
was Lance Morris with an average of
15.4 points per game, Rogers followed
with an average of 14.9. Marcum aver-
aged 12.0 points per game for the sea-
son.

Rounding out the top scorers for
the Picadors were Terry Henderson,
who averaged 9.9 points per game and
Danny Powell with an average of 8.9.
Jack Pierce compiled an 8.8 average.

MERCER LEADS THINCLADS

With their main strength in field events, 1969 Tech thinclads won two meets and took second in another.

By KAREN JESSUP

Behind the scoring of Ronnie Mer-
cer, Aarchie Van Sickle, and Bob Lo-
gan, the Tech thinclads totaled enough
points to win two meets, take second
in another, and grab sixth spot in
the Southwest Conference Meet.

More than once Mercer was the
leading scorer for the Raiders, taking
first in both the discus and shot. Van
Sickle consistently placed high in the
javelin, as did Logan in the 220 and
440.

In the SWC Meet held in Waco
Tech compiled 15 points to place sixth
in the competition. Mercer was edged
out by SMU's Sam Walker and A&M's
Ronnie Lightfoot in a heated contest
in the shot. Mercer's performance in
the shot, coupled with his third place
throw in the discus, made him Tech's
high point man.

Two Raiders, Bob Connor and
Bobby Blain, placed second and fifth,
respectively, in the pole vault. Tech's
Francis Doyle captured a third place
spot in the three-mile run. In the
javelin Tech also scored with Jim
McCasland's fourth place hurl.

The Raider cindermen began their
season on December 7 as they jour-
neyed south for the Houston Invita-
tional Meet. Two Raiders placed in
events, Mike Logan taking the third
spot in the 140 and Larry Schovajsa
placing fifth in the 880.

Tech thinclads totaled enough
points in the Border Olympics held
at Laredo to earn a fifth place berth
in that meet. Ronnie Mercer was re-
sponsible for the most Raider points
with a winning throw of 154'-8" in
the discus and a second place throw
of 55'-2y2" in the shot put. Aarchie
Van Sickle also scored points and
showed his muscle for the Raiders in
the javelin, outdistancing all oppo-

Tech's George Coon crosses fhe finish /ine firsf /o

nents with a winning throw of 200'-2".

Bad weather canceled the next
scheduled track meet between Baylor,
Texas, and Tech at Waco. However the
quadrangular track meet held in Lub-
bock afforded the opportunity for SWC
competition. Tech fell to A&M in this
meet, but edged out TCU and SMU.
Aggie Ronnie Lightfoot broke the meet
record for the shot put with a throw
of 57' 11", only !/>" further than
Mercer's second place effort.

The Raiders won four events and
broke an old meet record. George Coon
captured top prize in the mile run
with a time of 4:21.6, Jim McCasland
hurled the javelin 203'4" to win that
event, and Bob Logan's 48.0 time won
the 440. Mercer broke his own meet
record set in 1968 by throwing the
discus 162' 11".

Other Tech scoring was done by
Norman Tanner in the shot, David
Nelson in the mile run, Van Sickle in
the javelin, Ronald Grigsby and Mark
Weeks in the high hurdles, David Davis
in the long jump. Bob Blain in the
pole vault, and the 440 relay team.

Tech came out on top in the tri-
meet between TCU, Tech, and UTA,
placing in all but one of the events
and winning five. Mercer was respon-
sible for 10 of Tech's 61 points with
his double win in the discus and shot.
Grigsby's win in the high hurdles and
his second place finish in the inter-
mediate hurdles made him Tech's sec-
ond man in scoring.

Coon's time of 1:56.4 gave the
Raiders a win in the 880, with Scho-
vajsa's fourth place finish adding
another point to the tally. Logan's
time of 48.8 gave the Raiders a win
in the 440.

In several events, the mile run,
high hurdles, 440, 100-yard dash, in-
termediate hurdles, 880, and 220, two
Raiders placed. The shot and three-
mile run also boosted Tech's total
points, as three Raiders placed in
each of these events to give Texas
Tech its first win of the season.

The Raiders took their second win
of the season by defeating UTA in the
Dual Track Meet in Lubbock, winning
12 of the 16 events. Mercer again

By
GARY STEPHENSON

Raider baseballers opened the
1969 season with a 6-5 victory over
Hardin-Simmons in Abilene, after
stopping a three-run ninth inning rally
by the Cowboys.

In the top of the ninth the Raiders
scored twice, the winning run being
scored on an error. With one out
Randy Holman singled and Jim Mont-
gomery doubled him home. EHck Shaw
reached first on an error by the Cow-
boy first baseman, allowing Montgom-

sity of Texas at El Paso. Tech lost
the doubleheader 4-2 and 5-2, against
excellent pitching by the Miners.

Behind 4-0 after four innings,
the Raiders scored two runs in the
top of the fifth, but could not mount
another threat until the set:ond game.
In the nightcap the Raiders quickly
rallied for two runs in the first on a
throwing error by the third baseman,
but gave up five runs in the fifth for
the loss.

Sophomore Pat McKean, fresh
from the basketball court, showed a
little control problem in the third
game which he lost after two and one-
third innings. This series brought the
Tech record to 2-5.

In the first home series against
New Mexico Highlands the Raiders
began to show theii baiting strength,
winning the first game 14-9. The "hit-
less wonders" exploded for 17 hits
as Gary Washington came out of the

bullpen in the fifth inning with Tech
behind 6-4 and limited the Cowboys
to four hits in the rest of the game for
his first win.

Tech won the first game of the
doubleheader the following day 4-3
with a pair of runs in an extra frame.
Randy Holman singled in the eighth
to drive in Dick Shaw and Johnny
Owens for the game-winning runs.

NMHU withstood a Red Raider
rally in the nightcap for a 11-6 victory.

the baseballers prepared to enter SWC
action. Tech continued to show its bat-
ting power as the team collected 17
hits in the doubleheader and Dick
Shaw hit two home runs.

man, scattered seven hits over nine
innings to give Tech its first conference
win over the Baylor Bears in Waco,

Randy Walker led off the first with
a double to left, he scored on the
first of four hits by second-sacker
Jerry Haggard. Haggard scored on an
infield out by Steve Hurt, after going
to third on a Baylor error.

Leading off the third, Haggard
reached first on an infield hit and
scored on Jim Montgomery's single,
after going to second on an error.
Montgomery advanced to second on an
out and scored on a single by Hurt.
First baseman Dick Shaw proceeded to
blast a homer off the scoreboard in

The Raiders lost the second game
7-4, although right-fielder Don McKee
got four hits and Haggard got two
hits. Tech led 1-0 going into the third,
after McKee scored in the first on a
single and an error. Freshman Mike
Muschalek lost the game in the third
as a hit batter, two walks, a wild
pitch, a single and two doubles gave
Baylor a 6-1 lead.

A Raider rally in the sixth fell
short as pinch-hitter Max Martin
singled in two runs and Randy Holman
scored on a fielder's choice to cut the
Bear lead to 6-4.

Tech won the third game 4-0 as
pitcher Gary Washington scattered six
hits over nine innings and allowed
only one Baylor player to reach third
base. The Raiders collected 12 hits as
both Walker and Haggard got three
hits in five at-bats, bringing the SWC
record to 2-1 and the season mark to
6-7.

to gain second place in the SWC race.

became the only Raiders to hold two
conference wins.

The doubleheader victory was the
first for the Raiders in conference
play and the first as a team since
1967. Thus, for the first time in five
years Tech climbed above the .500
level with an 8-7 season mark.

Jerry Haggard went two for five
in the two games, bringing his aver-
age to .476 in SWC action, good
enough for second place. Randy Walk-

the plate for a .429 average.

LINKSTERS TAKE THIRD

Golf team takes third behind the play of seniors Ronnie White and Jim Arnold.

By CAROL CHILDRESS

The 1969 Raider golf team fin-
ished the season with a record of 23^/^
wins against 18^/^ losses, giving them
third place in the Southwest Confer-
ence race behind Texas A&M Uni-
versity and the University of Texas.

The season marked the second
year in a row that the Raiders have
finished in the top half of the confer-
ence. The Raiders finished fourth in
1968. In 11 years of SWC competi-
tion, they have finished no lower than
sixth.

The Raiders' first appearance as
a team was the annual Border Olym-
pics in Laredo. There, the team finished
fourth in a field which included such
golf powers as I lie University of Hous-
ton, Texas A&M University, and the
University of Texas.

March 24 marked the first con-
ference match for the Raiders of the
season. Their opponent was the Uni-

versity of Texas. Tech was the host
team, the matches being played at the
Lubbock Country Club. Tech surprised
everyone by winning, 4^/2 to II/2. The
scores were high due to gusting winds,
sometimes up to 50 miles per hour.

The low score of the day was shot
by Raider Ronnie White, a 74, good
enough to defeat the number one
Texas player, Rick Massengale 3-1. Jim
Arnold defeated Chip Stewart one-up.
White and Arnold then combined to
defeat Stewart and Massengale 3-2.

John Sheppierson came from be-
hind to tie Texas* Tom Kite. Brad
Wilemon of Tech shot an 84, not good
enough to overcome Dean Overturf,
and lost 3-2. However, Wilemon and
Shepperson together won their doubles
match one-up. Shepperson had to sink
a two-foot putt on the final hole to
grab the win. Ronnie White ended
up with the low round of the day, a

74.

Encouraged by their victory over
Texas, the Raiders traveled to the home
of the Texas Aggies where they met
defeat SY^ to ^/2, thus dealing a severe
blow to their hopes of achieving a
second conference golf title. Tech won
the conference in 1959 by a 3^/2 point
margin over the Horned Frogs of TCU.

The Aggie home course in College
Station is a difficult one, esjiecially
around the greens. The lowest round
was a 66, shot by Aggie Richard Ellis.
Ronnie White and John Shepperson
tied for the lowest Tech scores, both

having a 71 for the day. That score
was not enough to overcome the Ag-
gies, tliough, as Tech lost all the single
matches, managing only to halve a
double match. White lost 3-2, Shepper-
son and Jim Whitteker each lost,
as did Jim Arnold 5-4. Whitteker and
Shepperson saved Tech from a white-
wash by halving their double match.

The Raiders returned home to host
the TCU Horned Frogs, defeating them
5-1, keeping their title hopes slim,
but alive. The only match that Tech
dropped was the singles match between
Ronnie White of Corpus Christi and
the Frogs' Bill Merritt, White losing,
3-2.

Some of the best golf of the day
was shot by John Shepperson, a junior
from San Angelo, who was four under
par through the first ten holes. He
won his match, defeating Steve Smith
8 and 7. Jim Arnold of Tech defeated
Jess Claiborne 5 and 4 while Jim
Whitteker downed Rett Gideon 4 and
3. In the doubles matches, the Tech
duo of White and Arnold took Merritt
and Caliborne 2 and 1 as Shepperson

and Whitteker defeated Smith-Gideon
5 and 4.

April 3-5 found the Raiders in Las
Cruces, New Mexico for the New Mexi-
co Intercollegiate Tournament. There,
they competed against the better teams
of the Southwest, finishing third in the
overall team competition. Ronnie White
placed fifth among the individual win-
ners.

The fourth conference match for
the Red Raiders was against the Baylor
Bears April 1. Tech was again the host
team on the par 72 Lubbock Country
Club course. In 1968, the Bears de-
feated Tech 5-1. In '69, the Raiders
managed to tie 3-3. The low round of
the day was a 71, shot by Tech's Ron-
nie White and Baylor's Ben Hagins.
White defeated Alan Weston, 3-1
while Hagins downed Tech's Jim Whit-
teker 2 and 1. John Shepperson lost
his match to Bill Munguia 1 up. Brad
Wilemon also lost, losing to Don
Brown 1 up.

Tech took both the doubles, the
team of White and Shepperson beating
Weston-Munguia 2 and 1, and Wilemon

and Whitteker winning 1 up over
Brown and Hagins.

Once again, the Raiders took to
the road, this time traveling to Hous-
ton for the All-America Intercollegiate
Invitational Tournament, sponsored by
the University of Houston. The Tech
players who made the trip were Ron-
nie White, Jim Arnold, John Shepper-
son, Jim Whitteker, and Brad Wile-
mon.

Twenty teams competed in the
tournament, including all of the South-
west Conference teams. As usual, the
favorite was either Texas or the Uni-
versity of Houston. Houston proved to
be the winner. Tech ended up in a tie
for 11th place, along with New Mexico
for the lowest four-ball score.

April 22 the team traveled to the
hills of Arkansas where the road trip
bad luck stayed with them. They fell
victim to the Razorbacks in a close
match 31/2 to 21/.. This loss left the
Raiders in fourth place with a record
of 151/4-141/2, with two matches left
to play, SMU and the Rice University
Owls.

Their final home match was April
25 against the SMU Mustangs, which
they lost 4-2. John Shepperson figured
in both the Raider victories, defeating
his singles opponent, A. R. Perez 7 and
6. He then teamed with Brad Wilemon
to post a 2 and 1 win over the SMU
team of Perez and John Washburn.

Ronnie White lost to Charles Em-
ery 3 and 2, while Jim Arnold fell to
Bob Cheany 5 and 4. Brad Wilemon
lost to Washburn 1 up. Emery and
Cheany defeated White and Arnold 2
and 1.

The Raiders traveled to Houston
for their final conference match of
the season against the Rice University
Owls on April 29. A total sweep of
all the matches gave the Raiders
enough wins to finish in the top half
of the conference.

Ronnie White defeated Chris
Kuehler 4-3, while Jim Arnold defeated
Gary Reist 2-1. Owl Andy Allen fell
to senior Brad Wilemon 2-1. Jim Whit-
teker took Bill Ross 3-1 to sweep the
singles matches.

In the doubles matches, the No.
1 Tech pair of Ronnie White and Jim
Arnold defeated Kuehler-Reist 3-2. Jim
Whitteker and Brad Wilemon teamed
up to hand Allen-Ross a 3-2 defeat,
thus giving the Raiders a 6-0 win.

The Raiders then returned to Tech
in preparation for the Southwest Con-
ference Tournament held in Waco.

The annual Southwest Conference
Tournament was held at the Ridgewood
Country Club in Waco May 8-9. The
tournament is a 72-hole affair, with
the player carding the lowest score
over 72 holes declared the Southwest
Conference individual champion. Texas
Tech was represented by seniors Ron-
nie White of Corpus Christi and Jim
Arnold of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Three Texas Tech players have
won the individual title since the Raid-
ers have competed in SWC play, John
Farquhar in 1959, Chris Blocker in
1961, and Robert McKinney in 1967.

Arnold shot a 75-75 the first day
of competition while White was two
shots behind him with a 77-75. The
second day found White in a tie for
seventh place with a 72 hole total
of 297. Arnold finished 11th with a
score of 303. The tournament was
won by Rick Massengale of Texas who
had the lowest total, 280.

1969 marked the third time that
the Raiders have finished in the No.
3 spot in the conference standings. In
1960, the Raiders finished third be-
hind Texas A&M, and in 1965 third
behind the University of Texas.

Texas Tech won the Southwest
Conference golf championship in 1959,
and gave Texas Tech its first league
championship in the history of the
school. The Raiders compiled a 34-8
record, edging TCU by 31X> points.
They finished second in 1964 to the
Texas Aggies, losing the title by a
single match.

In overall match results, since
entering the Southwest Conference in
1958, Tech is third, behind the same
duo of Texas A&M and Texas.

The Raiders were led in 1969 by
seniors Ronnie White and Jim Arnold.
White, from Ray High School in
Corpus Christi, was a three year let-
terman for the Raiders as was Arnold,
who came to Tech by way of Central
High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They
consistently led the team in victories
and were Tech's top doubles pair.

Another senior who contributed
to the squad was Brad Wilemon from
Arlington.

There are two regulars who may
return from the '69 squad — junior
John Shepperson from San Angelo and
sophomore Jim Whitteker from Sweet-
water. These two, along with White
and Arnold, were the four starters for
the Raiders.

Other players eligible for '70 were

juniors Hal Schauer and Kurt Sokolow-
ski and sophomore Stan Wilemon. Four
freshmen were included on the '69
varsity and were expected to provide
additional power to the 1970 team.
They were Chuck Larson from Dallas,
Don Speckman, also from Dallas, Lee
Moss of Lubbock, and Steve Beene.

For Coach Gene Mitchell, 1969
marked his third year to head the Tech
golf team. His team in 1967 finished
fifth in the conference, and in 1968
improved on that mark for a fourth
place finish.

Mitchell, a former golfer for Lub-
bock High, was on the PGA tour for
18 months. In addition to his coaching
duties at Tech, he was the co-profes-
sional at the Lubbock Country Club,
the par 72, 6,600 yard home course
for the Raiders.

The outlook for 1970 was good,
with veterans like Whitteker and Shep-
person returning, but the loss of play-
ers of the caliber of White and Arnold
will definitely be a problem for the
golfers in 1970. Both Texas A&M and
the University of Texas were expected
to field strong teams again, but the
Raiders were not counted oul i:i seek-
ing to improve on their thii I place
finish of '69. The players wi re shoot-
ing for first place in '70.

Third place was a popular spot
for Red Raider atli If/tic teams to finish
in during 1%9. and the tennis team
was no exception. The Tech netters
finished the season with a record of
23-13, which earned for them third
place in the Southwest Conference
standings.

1969 marked the 11th time in
the last 12 years, or since Tech has
competed in the SWC, that they have
finished in the upper division of the
league. Tech finished second twice, in
1958 and 1968.

The tennis team was coached by
George Philbrick, a former basketball
and football letterman at Tech. He
has been the tennis coach since 1953,
in addition to his duties as a professor
in the men's physical education depart-
ment.

The 1969 season had all the ear-

marks of a successful one even before
it began in February. From a team
which finished second in the conference
in 1968, only two players were lost
due to graduation. Returning lettermen
were Rusty Powell, Mike Beene, Rob-
bie Sargent, Joe Williams, Warren
Craig, Murphy Yates, and Rudy Guiter-
rez. Squadmen returning were Joe Ben
Whittenburg, Mike Nye, and Rod
Bunker. With these players, the Raiders
were expected to equal or better their
1968 record of 28-8.

The Raiders' first encounter of
the season was February 24 with the
Hardin-Simmons Cowboys. The Raid-
ers won 7-1. Three days later, they
traveled to Corpus Christi for the Cor-
pus Christi University Invitational
Tournament held February 27-March
1. There, they were in competition
with top teams such as Trinity Uni-

versity, Rice, Texas, and University of
Houston. They defeated Pan American
University 7-0, but lost to the Uni-
versity of Texas 4-3, and to Corpus
Christi University 6-1.

March 14 the team traveled across
the Red River to Norman, Oklahoma
for a match against the OU Sooners.
The Raiders defeated the Sooners 6-3.
Tech won five of the six singles
matches, but won only the doubles
match.

Rusty Powell defeated Glen Mal-
lins 6-2, 2-6, and 6-3. Joe Williams de-
feated Gayle Bradshaw 6-4, 2-6, 12-10.
Robbie Sargent bested Dick Theimer
7-5, 7-5, while Warren Craig defeated
Bruce Barnett 10-8, 5-7, 8-6. Jack

ing the distance to Norman. The Raid-
ers fell to OCU 5-3, but the defeat
was at the hands of a team that in-
cluded four of the top amateur players
from Australia. Oklahoma City usually
fields a good squad, and the matches
between Tech and OCU were close.

March 20, the Red Raiders trav-
eled to Houston for the Rice Invita-
tional Tennis Tournament sponsored by
Rice University. This tournament an-
nually attracts the best tennis players
in the entire Southwest. Tech players
who made the trip were Mike Beene,
Rusty Powell, Joe Williams, and Rob-
bie Sargent, along with Coach George
Philbrick.

Tech singles players were defeated
in the early rounds, but the Raider
doubles team of Mike Beene and Rusty
Powell worked their way to the semi-
final round. In a match in which they
were leading Trinity University, the
team had to default in order to catch
the last plane flight from Houston to
Lubbock, so as to attend classes Mon-
day. In reaching the semi-finals, they
defeated teams from Pan American
University, Oklahoma City University,
and the University of Corpus Christi.

The Raiders opened Southwest
Conference play against the University

came a first-set loss of 24-26 to defeat
Paulson-Russell 6-0, 6-1, and give Tech
its third victory of the day.

The Raiders in 1969 compiled a
23-13 record which gave them third
place in the Southwest Conference
behind Rice University and the Uni-
versity of Texas.

The final competition of the season
was the Southwest Conference Spring
Meet held May 8-10 in Waco on the
Baylor University campus. This meet
allows the individual players as well
as their respective schools to receive
recognition. Texas Tech was repre-
sented by Joe Williams and Robbie
Sargent in the singles and the team
of Rusty Powell and Mike Beene in
the doubles. Beene-Powell were seeded
number one in the doubles division.
In the first round of play, Rob-

Mike Beene, Raider ace from Odessa Permian, Is forced to go low for a backhand shot against Rice
University. It was a losing effort, though, as Beene lost 6-2, and 6-4.

bie Sargent lost to Avery Rush of
Texas 14-12, 1-6, 6-3. Joe WiUiams
also lost. He was defeated by Marcello
de Sarna of TCU 6-4, 7-5.

6-2. In the semi-finals they defeated
the team of Larry Eichenbaum and
John Nelson 6-4, 5-7, 6-4 of Texas.

Their opponents in the finals

Pete Fawt. The Raiders took the first
two sets 6-4, 11-9, but lost the final
three 3-6, 6-8, and 4-6, to finish sec-
ond in the tournament.

Outstanding for the Raiders in
1969 were Rusty Powell and Robbie
Sargent, who had identical records
of 4 wins and 2 losses in SWC singles
competition. Joe Williams compiled a
3-3 record, while Mike Beene finished
with a 2-3 mark.

Beene, a senior from Odessa, was
counted on before the season to pro-
vide the leadership of the team. He
was named to the all-conference ten-
nis team as a junior in 1968. He
was hampered much of the 1969 sea-
son due to an ankle injury suffered
in the Texas match. However, he did
finish strong and teamed with Powell
to win second place in the doubles
at the SWC meet.

In season doubles competition,
the team of Beene-Powell compiled a
5-1 record as did the team of Robbie
Sargent and Joe Williams.

The outlook for the 1970 season
appeared good for the Raiders. Eli-
gible to return were junior lettermen
Rusty Powell and Joe Williams, both
from San Angelo, along with other
juniors Warren Craig of Abilene and
Joe Ben Whittenburg of Odessa. Soph-
omore Robbie Sargent from Wichita
Falb, soph Mike Nye of Corpus
Christi, and freshman David Majors
of Turkey were also eligible. Thus,
the only player to be lost through
graduation was Beene.

Since entering the Southwest
Conference in 1958, the Red Raiders
won a total of 421 individual matches
while losing only 191. Their lowest
finish was sixth in 1966. The best
season record was that of 1968 when
they were 28-8 and finished second
in the SWC.

The Red Raiders have one indi-
vidual league title to their credit. In
1962 the doubles team of Dar)] Alli-
son and Beau Sutherland won the
Southwest Conference doubli^s crown,
defeating the No. 1 seeded Rice team.

CHRIS SCHACHT, one of two Tech
entries in NCAA diving competition, placed ttiirty-
fourth on the one-meter board. Tech swimming
coach Jim McNally compliments his freshman
diver, saying, "I think Chris was about fourth
highest scorer on the team throughout the sea-
son, but considering the fact that divers are
only allowed to enter two diving events compared
with three for the swimmers, that's a pretty
good showing."

bILL Jv-/InCo, senior diver, claimed
sixteenth place in the NCAA three-meter
diving competition. "Bill gained the most
points throughout the whole dual meet and
championship season of anyone on the team,"
says McNally. "He scored about 142 points.
But Bill and Chris' biggest contribution to the
team throughout the year was their excel-
lent performance against Texas.

"We beat the Longhorns primarily on our
diving. We were in good position with our
swimming, but our diving really capped it
off. We won both first and second on the
one- and three-meter boards and I thought
it was probably our most important dual meet
win."

JERRY HAGGARD, A/wwcec

ond baseman, shared with University of
Texas' James Street the distinction of being a
unanimous selection to the Associated Press'
star-studded lineup. The circuit baseball
coaches also tabbed Tech's scrappy infielder
as Player of the Year. An all-conference
choice in both of Tech's seasons in the SWC,
Haggard says it is the combination of several
ingredients that produce an all-star performer.
Chief among them, according to the loop's
batting champion, are "hard work, ambition
and a little luck. Most of all, you've really
got to want it."

JIM MONTGOMERY, aiiswc shortstop,

cites "inner pride" as his greatest motivation. "The only
regret that I have is that I don't have another year," says
the slick-fielding Red Raider. "I'd just like to keep on
playing here. It's a real thrill playing for Coach Segrist.
He's a good coach. He taught me a lot about baseball. I
just wish I had a couple more years." Upon learning that
his coach had also been singled out as Coach of the Year,
Montgomery responded, "That's great! He really deserves
it. Bringing us from last place to third place is quite an
accomplishment. He deserves a lot of credit."

INTRAMURALS EXPAND

During the 1968-69 school year the intramural program at Texas Tech grew to be the second largest in the U.S. with over
7,000 student participants.

The intramural program at Texas
Tech expanded during the 1968-69
school year to become the second
largest in the U.S. Over 7,000 stu-
dents participated in the thirty-one
different events offered in the spring
and fall semesters. The intramural
program is also active on a smaller
scale during summer sessions.

All undergraduates are eligible to
participate in intramural singles, dou-
bles, team, and coed events. Tech ath-
letes may compete in all events other
than those in which they represent
Tech. Most of the scheduled events
take place on the intramural fields or
in the Old Barn, Tech's intramural
building.

The intramural program is headed
by Director Edsel Buchanan, Williard
Holsberry, assistant director, Dorothy
Robertson, intramural secretary, and
several graduate assistants.

Noche de Conquistadores, an
awards banquet for intramurals, is
held each May to conclude the pro-
gram for the year. Buchanan acted
as master of ceremonies, and Dr.
Owen L. Caskey, Vice-President for
Student Affairs, was the guest speaker.

Miss Jeannine McHaney, Director
of Women's Intramurals, presented the
Sweepstakes Trophy to West Hall.
Sherri Moore received the Outstand-
ing Senior Award, while the Outstand-
ing Participant Award was presented
to Kathy Ducassey. Zeta Tau Alpha
was the recipient of the Sportsman-
ship Trophy.

In men's intramurals the Most
Winning Teams Award went to Phi
Delta Theta, fraternity division; Car-
penter Hall, residence hall division;
and Phi Epsilon Kappa, club division.

Alpha Tau Omega and Carpenter
Hall received the Best Unit Partici-
pation awards in the fraternity and
residence Hall divisions, respectively.

Pi Kappa Alpha, Gaston Hall,
Phi Epsilon Kappa, and the Moon-
rakers received Outstanding Teams
Awards. The Outstanding Participant
Award was presented to Gaston's
Duane Toone.

FACES IN THE CROWD

, m

Bob Bass

MaH Lair

Bob Bass signed a five-year con-
tract last >ear as Tech head basketball
coach, replacing Gene Gibson.

An ex-American Basketball Asso-
ciation coach, Bass directed his Denver
Rockets to the ABA playoffs. It was
the 13th consecutive year that Bass-
coached teams have reached playoffs
— a trend he hopes to continue at Tech.

Among Bass's coaching honors
are 1956 Oklahoma Collegiate Confer-
once Coach of the Year, 1966 Okla-
homa College Coach of the Year, 1966
NAIA District 9 Coach of the Year
and 1967 NAIA Coach of the Year.

In 1964 and 1966, Bass coached
AAU-State Department sponsored
teams which played first in South
America and the Caribbean and later
in Southeast Asia. In 1967, he was as-
sistant coach of NAIA Pan American
Trial Team.

Matt Lair resigned his position
on Tech's football coaching staff late
in the summer of 1968 to accept a job
in Kentucky with a professional scout-
ing organization. His vacancy was
filled by Jim Acree of SMU.

During his years at Tech, Lair
fashioned a lasting impression on
many, if not all, of his proteges. One
of his prize pupils, defensive tackle
Jim Moylan says of his former coach,
"There's been one man over at Tech
that's meant more to me than anyone
else in the world, and that's Matt Lair.
It's one of the most motivating factors
you can have in your life just to be
associated with a man like that. When
Tech lost him, they lost a great one. I
think he's probably the greatest defen-
sive coach that's ever been associated
with Tech. I really do."

Where Have All The Students Gone?

by Pat Coil

At the beginning of every semester
during registration, I think each student
should be given a form that looks some-
thing like this (at the end of article).
If you have ever been guilty of saying
"There's nothing to do in Lubbock,"
you are probably shocked at the stagger-
ing number of events listed on the form
which 'are available to the students of
Tech every semester. Though it has
never been proven, I am sure that a
student could spend 100% of his time
attending these various events and never
study or go to classes. Yet the tragic
thing is that most Tech students never
attend the overwhelming majority of
these events.

I feel somewhat qualified to make
this statement because I have been
closely involved with and have attended
a good many of these programs during
my four years on campus. The thing
that has impressed me over and over
has been the fack of attendance at pro-
grams which are of unquestionable value
and benefit to anyone attending them.
For instance, the Tech Artist's Course
has brought at least six programs that
I can remember for which they have
not been able to fill the Municipal Audi-
torium and for which a large portion of
the spectators have been town people
and not students. Considering all of
these programs were by professionals
and were free of charge, it is a crime
that on a campus of 18,000 plus stu-
dents, 3,000 could not arrange to attend
the performance. So the logical question
I have asked myself over and over is,
"Where have all the students gone?"

I'm sure they're on campus, in town
somewhere, or some place or another.
After all, the registrar does report some
18,000 of them and during passing
periods and in the crowded parking
lots, I see evidence to support this
assumption. Therefore, they must be
engaged elsewhere.

The next question is, "They're do-
ing what?" I seriously doubt, and not
only that, I doubt seriously, th^t they
are studying since very few people on
campus have over a 3.0 and since the
students in most classes indicate a
marked lack of preparation by their
inability to respond in class on the tests.
The only other conclusion I can draw
is that the 18,000 is spread out in at-
tending all these various events. I also
reject this theory, however, considering
that there are very few adults in
Lubbock who report even near capacity
crowds. It also seems to me that I see
the same people over and over at the
events. Tech students are made con-
spicuous by their absence, and when
asked what they do with their spare time
they reply that they don't have any
spare time, which of course is baloney.
They simply mope about doing stupid
and trite things.

This situation really concerns me,
because I feel that these students are
neglecting an important part of their
education. These programs sponsored by
Tech are not an effort on the part of
the university community to amuse or
entertain the students simply for the
sake of amusement. Thesf activities are
provided to the students as an op-
portunity for them to broaden their
education, and this, I might add, is a
most pleasant way to do it. It is a
chance for the student to learn some-
thing in an entertaining and enjoyable
manner without having to take another
course and having another pile of books
and exams to worry about. It is a chance
fo/ us to share the contributions of the
'_,reatest mankind has to offer.

It is my firm belief that the stu-
dent who ignores this aspect of his
education is not truly a person who
wants to be an educated individual. He
is an incomplete person and should not
be allowed to graduate from a university
which is atempting to turn out well-
rounded individuals.

I think there is little or no excuse
for a student not to attend at least the
minimum number of programs on the
sample form. Most of the events are
free, and the remaining ones are pro-
vided at special student rates. No enter-
prising student would buy $20 worth of
tickets to see a certain show and then
fail to show up or get a refund. And
yet every time a student misses a pro-
gram open to students with an I.D., he
is missing a program which he has
already paid for in his student services
fee and for which he can get no refund.

The strange thing is that someone
would have to persuade the students to
participate in these activities. The intel-
lectual and spiritual returns from shar-
ing in these experiences are something
which we will never again in our lives
have a chance to inexpensively and easily
obtain. Because I see so many of the
same people at these programs, I affec-
tionately dub them "the company of the
committed." For these people are firmly
committed to broadening their hearts
and minds through a curricular educa-
tion. The student who misses these
activities is leaving a great source of
personal joy and fulfillment untapped,
student who misses these activities is
leaving a great source of personal joy
and fulfillment untapped.

Therefore, in closing, I would like
to tell the reader who is already among
the "company of the committed" to
actively recruit the less fortunate mem-
bers of our university who are not yet
among us. If you are the type of stu-
dent whom I have attacked in this
article, I would hope that this article
has done something to convince you of
the benefits of co-curricular education

and that you will make a sincere effort
in the future to participate in these
activities.

President Murray

. . . a bow tie, a pipe

and a smile

Bow tie, pipe and a smile — these
are the trademarks of Dr. Grover E.
Murray in his third year as the presi-
dent of Texas Technological College.

The number one administrator is
an integral part of campus life. Chance
meetings with the personable doctor
are not uncommon. Students may bump
into Dr. Murray on his daily walk from
home to campus, on the Ad Building
staircase or on one of his many jaunts
from building to building.

Beginning the year a little late fol-
lowing an eye operation. Dr. Murray
quickly found himself in a swirl of
activities and duties. As head of adminis-
trators, he had a whole school to run.

In early November Dr. Murray
led an entourage of Lubbock men to
Austin.

"Texas Technological College,

through its Board of Directors and
administrators, recognizes the need for
more physicians and para-medical per-
sonnel, and supports enthusiastically the
establishment of a medical school on
the Tech campus." Dr. Murray's mo-
tion for the long anticipated medical
school was made.

Dr. Murray welcomed President
Tonbalbay of Chad, Tech's first inter-
national dignitary.

Accepting the Coronelli globe, he
presented another educational treasure
to the Tech library.

Undoubtedly, Dr. Murray leads
one of the busier lives on the activity
filled Tech campus. M

Administration Coordinates, Sorts

The six administrators of Texas
Tech are men of various interests be-
sides guiding a university of Tech's size.

Taking the position of executive
vice president was Dr. Glenn Barnett
who replaced Dr. William M. Pearce.
Aside from his service as executive vice
president, Dr. Barnett acted as Dean of
the School of Education. Dr. Barnett
came to Tech this year after serving as
professor of education and vice presi-
dent of student affairs at the University
of Colorado from 1963 to 1968.
Through his efforts to the advancement
of education, Dr. Barnett has written
two books and published various ar-
ticles on education and teaching.

Dr. Owen L. Caskey assumed his
new duties September 1, 1968, as vice
president for student affairs. The office
is a new one, created to coordinate the
many activities, programs, and services
provided for 20,000 students.

As a professor of education in the
School of Education Dr. Caskey's pri-
mary responsibility has been the di-
rector of graduate programs leading
to master and doctoral degrees in educa-
tional psychology and guidance and
counseling. For five years Dr. Caskey
served as an industrial psychologist of
a national consulting firm. Just prior
to joining the staff in 1964, Dr. Caskey
was director of University Counseling
Services and professor of psychology at
Oklahoma State University.

Former State Representative and
Tech graduate Bill J. Parsley served as
vice president for development. He was
primarily responsible for the solicitation
of gifts and grants from private sources,
foundations, individuals, and businesses
to deserving students.

Parsley has worked with other
members of the Lubbock County dele-
gation in bringing about the highest

amount of appropriation increase ever
received by Tech. These appropriations
included funds for research, library en-
richment, and increases for faculty sal-
aries.

The appointment of Dr. Monty E.
Davenport as the associate vice presi-
dent for research and special programs
was announced this year by President
Murray. Particular problems he con-
fronted involved graduate student sup-
port, program budgeting, information
systems and cost measurements of edu-
cational and research programs.

His own research has been in the
area of thermodynamics and high tem-
perature gas flows. With graduate stu-
dents Dr. Davenport developed an ap-
paratus for thermal and fluid measure-
ments with gases at high temperature
differences.

Concerned with academic affairs,
Dr. S. M. Kennedy, vice president of
academic affairs, has promoted a rigor-

ous intellectual climate which encom-
passes the three levels of education —
undergraduate, masters, and doctorate.
Because of his long association with
Tech, Dr. Kennedy is well acquainted
with its academic needs.

Kennedy served as an instructor,
acting assistant dean, and then, in 1961,
dean of the School of Arts and Sciences.

Tech's ever-expanding financial af-
fairs were handled by Marshall L.
Pennington. His official title, vice presi-
dent for business affairs, indicated that
his major responsibility lies in the super-
vision of college revenues, incoming and
outgoing. He was also responsible for
the apportioning of funds to the various
departments of the college.

During his leisure hours, Penning-
ton enjoys the challenge and excitement
of new varieties of plants. Pennington
is fond of growing seedling chrysanthe-
mums and has won many show ribbons
for his efforts.

Council Acts Despite Late Start

Freshman Council members were
finally elected during the waning weeks
of first semester. A lengthy Senate bat-
tle had questioned whether the council
should be formed this year.

First bill passed by the council was
a name-change resolution supporting
Texas State University.

Several members of the council at-
tended a Leadership Board Retreat at
the Episcopal Youth Center in Amarillo
during February.

The council numbers 39 with stu-
dents from dorms and off -campus, and
the freshman head cheerleader.

Larry Meyers, senator, sponsored
the freshmen. Officers were Ron Enns,
president; Richard Broyles, vice presi-
dent; Gerald Purdy, president pro tem;
Shelly Shelton, secretary; Amy Ham-
mer, treasurer; and Jeannie Campbell,
AWS representative.

STALK

by Shelley Armitage

tfli

The old cur hung along the edge
of the highway. Rain ran off his coat
flattening the hair around his eyes and
nose and flanks until his frame was
reduced to a shadow slinking through
the thick weeds by the highway. Cars
came, with tires hissing on wet pave-
ment, and were gone leaving the wide
stillness of the farm country in the
steady rain. And still the dog waited
by the road, hungry, shivering now in
the drizzle. His muzzle quivered — ribs
moved with heavy breathing. The rain
pelted down on a trash can across the
road.

— Shhh now! Don't you tell
mother. I can get him from here.

I will. I'm gonna tell. You know
you weren't sposed to git it. Not in the
rain anyway.

Bill — Bill — you come back here —

The water fell from the thick com
stalks, a few leaves were opened, and
the boy was gone. He was thrashing
through the stalks to the end of the
row — hollering.

The other boy sat down on his
haunches and watched the old dog look
across the road. He pulled down the
leaves in front of him, took aim, and
fired.

The car skidded to miss the dog.

— Damn rain. Slick.

Yeah. Look at that ol' mongrel.
Should have hit 'em.

— I hit! I hit! — the boy ran across
the road to where the dog lay in the
ditch. Tennis shoes wet and muddy,
pants cold on his legs, he just stood
there wiping his hands on his levis.

— Didn't even hit 'em. Didn't
touch him, he mumbled. Ain't no fun
now — He turned shouldering the gun,

crossed the road and the field toward
the house where brother had told
mother, mother had told father, and
father waited fiddling with his belt.

And the old dog lay in the ditch,
sleek, wet, glassy eyed, hungry, to finish
dying.

II.

Boots along the road again. A lot.
Heavy, muddy, marching toward some
despicable, equally muddy goal of the
dirt men are made of and the water
they try to wash themselves with. Mud,
just mud.

It was on his boots, too. Caked.
Wet around the soles. In spots on his
already blotched green uniform that
had plunged for safety in pools he had
jumped as a boy — that had run, and
walked, and trotted the last day with
a company of other uniforms to dig in
here before the enemy. Here in the
mud.

He looked at his boots and found
himself wondering about Valley Forge
and George, and Ann Landers and the
letter she answered when he had been
a flustered teenager, at least a couple
of years ago. The letter about girls and
how they regarded Marines — were they
really heroes, or bums. He laughed to
himself, and was immediately embar-
rassed that he could have written such
a thing. He knew what he was. Hero
and bum, waiting bearded and squint-
eyed to rush into the evening sun to
try to remove the boots that were now
marching, the boots owned by the small,
tight, scowling, jaundiced patrol from
the paddies, with his boots. To be de-
clared a hero by his country, a bum by
some obscure, long-haired harbinger for
peace pictured at a demonstration in last

month's newspaper. And by himself —
a hero and a bum with only a shallow
wallow between himself and the declara-
tion. Between himself and those boots
that kept marching.

And so he ran with the command
along with so many other green-specked
shirts, leaving Mom, apple pie, Ann
Landers and George behind. Taking the
culmination of twenty-two years of life
with him — muscles tempered by sports
and Indian wrestling when he was a
boy, a mind which had been captivated
by the mechanics of guns, and at one
time the poetry of Walt Whitman.

He slipped hurdling the lip of the
trench. Mud. Bullets skipped around
him, made the sound of fat frogs as
they zipped into the bog. Bayonets
flashed. The world was whirling. The
groans of human agony arose from the
boots. Bodies splashed, clashed. The
fire of frantic guns pierced the evening
air.

Oh God, was he alone? He
couldn't tell the difference in uniforms
anymore — the mud, the mud. He
stumbled, splashed, staggered for a
ditch and the thrust of something bust-
ed him against the ground. A fire began
in his back, and everything went black.

Down the road a handful of
soldiers moved slowly. In the evening
sun their uniforms were not distinguish-
able. Bums or heroes, enemies or allies
. . . Couldn't see. It was beginning to
rain again. The drops made mud of
dirt on the soiled bodies in the ditches
and ripples in the trembling pools.

And somewhere, near a ditch, a
soldier lay wondering why he had shot
at that dog when he was ten and dad
got that new gun. Why . . .

ing at a cost of approximately 5 million.

This new building will include an
electron microscope laboratory, radia-
tion laboratory, and teaching and re-
search labs to support programs pres-
ently offered in the department of bi-
ology. A greenhouse for research and in-
struction will occupy the roof of this
new facility.

Besides the required freshman
courses of botany and zoology, the de-
partment offers courses in bacteria, bac-

CHEMISTRY:
Dr. Joe Dennis

The chemistry department had two
major staff changes this year — one was
the replacement of a retiring staff mem-
ber, the other a replacement of a non-
tenured person. Under the direction of
Dr. Dennis, the department received ac-
creditation of its undergraduate pro-
gram, experienced considerable growth
at the graduate level and began the con-
struction of a 5.8 million dollar addi-
tion to the present building.

From the Welch Foundation, the
department received a one million dollar
gift to hire a distinguished professor.

In addition to an excellent staff,
the department is well supplied with
research facilities in every major field
of chemistry.

The department's main objective
was to provide training to a greater
number of students. Field trips were
taken to inspect various plants. Students
were also eligible for special scholarships
offered by chemical companies through-
out the country.

GEOSCIENCE:
Dr. Richard Mattox

Geosciences expanded both its man-
power and equipment this year.

Department enrollment increased
seven per cent and geology majors added
16 to their group.

A General Electric grant was ob-
tained for a $33,000 X-ray machine, and
a new sulphite mineral laboratory was
added.

Two professors from East Texas
State, former Tech students, and one
current geology major are doing field
research in Antarctica. The trio will
return to Tech next year.

Dr. Carl Clement, Tech professor,
is currently studying reefs in the Ba-
hamas.

The University geoscience depart-
ment also participates in the National
Field Operation in Colorado. Tech sent
12 representatives to the conference last
year.

PHYSICS:

Dr. Henry C. Thomas

Since 1958, Dr. Henry C. Thomas
has been the head of the physics depart-
ment. The department consists of physics
under the School of Arts and Sciences
and engineering physics in the School
of Engineering. This year there were
60 physics majors and 60 majoring in
engineering physics.

The 35 graduate students study the
concepts of advanced physics, theoret-
ical research and teaching.

The aim of physics is the develop-
ment of laws which predict and describe
the behavior of physical systems as de-
termined by experimental measures.
Physics is the study of interactions among
the basic constituents of matter and of
the behavior of matter in bulk.

Offered in the physics department
are such courses as quantum mechanics,
solid state physics, thermodynamics, and
engineering physics seminars. Of the
14 faculty members, twelve teachers have
their doctorates, and a majority of the
staff is experienced in basic research.

GOVERNMENT:
Dr. L. M. Holland

Teaching the functions of the gov-
ernmental system and giving students
tools to analyze the processes keeps an
ever-growing government staff per-
manently occupied.

Graduating students benefit from
a departmental placement center. Dr.
Frank Baird, head of the program, con-
tacts all major universities in the nation
and prepares an information packet on
each student.

Graduate enrollment is growing
and graduates continually engage in out-
side activities. Ray Wells recruited nu-
merous undergraduates to run a voting
precinct poll at election.

The Rocky Mountain Social Sci-
ence Conference was held here in the
spring. Tech was also represented in
the Southwest Social Science Conference.

Dr. Neal J. Pearson will be added
to the department next fall. Dr. Pearson
is from Oxford University and will
attempt to set up more efficient studies
in methodology.

HISTORY:

Dr. David Vigness

With a department numbering well
over 5,000, the Tech history department
maintains a master's and doctorate pro-
gram in addition to its huge under-
graduate program.

Dr. Robert Hayes, specialist in
Brazilian history, joined the staff this
year.

Teaching programs are offered to
the interested student. Also, the eager
student will find plenty of work in
regional and local historical society work,
archives, record management and in busi-
ness and industry.

The department participated in the
university honors program, offering ac-
celerated courses to qualified and in-
terested students.

The goal of the department: teach
a student to look what happened in the
past and apply it to the present.

PSYCHOLOGY:

Dr. Theodore Andreychuk

The Bachelor of Arts, Master of
Arts, and Doctor of Philosophy are the
degrees offered at Tech in the psy-
chology department. The advanced de-
grees encompass a number of different
areas in counseling, clinical and experi-
mental psychology.

The 473 undergraduates and the
119 graduates have a wide variety of
courses they may take. Some of these
are general psychology, mental health,
child psychology, adolescent psychology,
statistical methods, personnel testing and
personality development.

Dr. Theodore Andreychuk has been
the head of the department since 1962.
Dr. Andreychuk and the 31 faculty
members help prepare students for grad-
uate school and prepare graduates for
research and private practices.

In the undergraduate program in
psychology, broad exposure to the field
is given to the student. Training stu-
dents for the professional competence
is done at the graduate level. Employ-
ment with industry and government
agencies is available to a student.

SOCIOLOGY AND
ANTHROPOLOGY:
Dr. Walter
J. Cartwright

The fastest growing department at
Texas Tech is the sociology and an-
thropology department with 250 soci-
ology majors and 35 anthropology ma-
jors. In seven years the faculty has
grown from five members to fourteen.

Dr. Walter J. Cartwright has been
at Tech for seven years, and this year
he is head of the department. Dr.
Cartwright is the college's coordinating
representative for Texas colleges and
universities. Under his guidance the
department is developing a new degree
program oriented toward research.

Sociology and anthropology are also
valuable contributions to a liberal arts
education. The student learns to better
understand his fellow man, and there-
fore, he learns to adapt himself to the
world of today.

ART: Dr. Bill Lockhart

The art department is the largest
of its kind in the Southwest with 686
art majors. It offers a Bachelor of
Fine Arts degree and a Bachelor of Arts
degree. The department has three goals:
professional development, experience for
a liberal education and development of
a taste in art. Dr. Bill Lockhart is the
head of the department.

The major strength of the depart-
ment is its 33 faculty members. They
have distinguished themselves through-
out the country through their exhibits
and professional work. Their wide
range of interests include the studio,
research and writing.

The department deals with all the
visual arts: advertising art, interior de-
sign, art education, studio art and art
history.

In August of 1970, the new art
building should be completed. The
building will have specialized facilities
for all types of art classes.

Courses are available to appeal to
all students in the College who wish
to do some creative art work, as well
as to those students who plan careers
with a major or minor in art.

A wide variety of. courses are of-
fered to the art student such as courses
in woodwork, enameling, metalwork,
silk screen and sculpture.

MUSIC: Dr. Gene Hemmle

Dr. Gene Hemmle has been head
of the music department for 19 years.
In that time the department has be-
come one of the most active depart-
ments on campus with concerts, recitals,
musicals and entertainment at Tech
games.

The department has several objec-
tives: to educate teachers in the field
of music, to develop talent to the
highest degree of artistic capability, to
promote scholarly endeavor, to help
each student attain the skills and the
proficiencies of strong musicians.

Those students enrolled in the uni-
versity acquire discriminating taste and
sound critical judgment through courses
in music supplemented by concerts and
through association with teachers.

Dr. Hemmle works closely with
Paul Ellsworth, conductor of the or-
chestra branch; Gene Kenney, director
of the choral department; and Dean
Killion, band leader.

Highlighting the year with partici-
pation in Tech's Fine Arts Festival and
in the Festival of Contemporary Music,
which includes guest lectures and mu-
sicians appearing on a symposium level.

GERMANIC AND
SLAVIC LANGUAGES:
Dr. Carl Hammer

Chinese was added to the offerings
of the Germanic and Slavonic Language
department in September. Twelve par-
ticipated in the course offered by Mrs.
Jean S. Koh. Second-year Chinese will
be given in 1969-70.

The reorganized Texas Tech Kin-
dersschule completed its second success-
ful season. Under this new program,
junior high students receive training
in beginning German from prospective
teachers of the language, specifically,
members of Professor T.W. Alexander's
class in methods of teaching German.

Two members of the department
received promotions. T. W. Alexander
was granted a full professorship, and
W. T. Zyls was raised to associate pro-
fessor.

CLASSICAL AND
ROMANCE LANGUAGES:
Dr. Harley D. Oberhelman

Instruction is regularly offered in
Arabic, French, Greek, Italian, Latin,
Portuguese and Spanish in the depart-
ment of Classical and Romance lan-
guages. The department has more than
200 majors.

Because Texas Tech is the largest
institution in West Texas devoted to
teacher education, the preparation of
prospective teachers in French, Latin,
and Spanish is a major function of the
department. The programs offered by
this department are approved for teacher
certification in Texas. Students may take
either the Bachelor of Arts degree or
the Bachelor of Science degree in Educa-
tion.

The department participates in the
Latin American area studies major and
sponsors the bilingual secretarial pro-
gram.

The following clubs are affiliated
with the two departments: Der Lieder-
kranz, German; Le Cercle, French; II
Circolo Italian©, Italian; Optimates,
Latin; and Capa y Espada, Spanish.

Tech has chapters of Sigma Delta
Pi, Spanish honorary, and Pi Delta Phi,
French honorary.

JOURNALISM:
Wallace Earl Carets

Tech's journalism department re-
ceived approval f6r addition of the mas-
ter's degree to its program this year.

Another new addition to the de-
partment was Harmon Morgan, experi-
enced newspaper man from the Univer-
sity of Missouri.

Bill Dean sponsored student publi-
cations. LA VENTANA, the Tech year-
book, was edited by Mary Margaret
Monarch and Ronnie Lott. Bill Seyle di-
rected the growing UNIVERSITY
DAILY. Both publications are produced
by students — paid and voluntary.

Tech sponsored its annual summer
workshop and "J-Day" festivities for
high school journalists. Hopefully the
program will attract talented . students
from around the state to the Tech cam-
pus, and most especially to the journal-
ism department.

ENGLISH

Dr. Everett A. Gillis

The largest department is the
English department providing students
the opportunity to acquire an extensive
and thorough knowledge in the various
fields of English. The department head
is Dr. Everett Gillis, who has held this
position since 1964.

The studies offered include Eng-
lish literature, comparative literature,
criticism, folklore and linguistics. The
department consists of over 100 faculty
members, a number which is continually
increasing since all degree programs re-
quire English.

Career opportunities for English
majors include editing and publishing,
professional writing, teaching and other
vocations in which a command of lan-
guage is essential.

The English department has, by
appointing as visiting professors out-
standing scholars in the field of Eng-
lish, both enriched its program, its fac-
ulty and its students.

The Harbinger, the annual literary
magazine, is published by the English
honorary, Sigma Tau Delta. All stu-
dents are allowed to submit short stories,
essays, poems, drawings and photo-
graphs.

PHILOSOPHY:
Dr. Ivan Little

The philosophy department offers
courses leading to a Bachelor of Arts
degree and is working toward adding
a graduate program. The department
has been under the direction of Dr.
Ivan Little since 1966.

The courses offered are designed
to provide students with background
knowledge of the great philosophers
^d to develop the students' own talents
in the area of critical thinking.

Among the courses offered in this
department are ethics, aesthetics, meta-
physics, contemporary philosophy, Or-
iental philosophies, and theories of
knowledge. For a major in philosophy,

the student must complete introductory
and intermediate logic plus 24 hours in
other philosophy courses.

The department has four out of
five faculty members with doctoral de-
grees, one being a specialist in the clas-
sics.

SPEECH:

Dr. P. Merville Larson

Drama, debate, teaching, radio and
television announcing are all included
in the speech department.

Each summer the department spon-
sors a high school drama workshop and
a repertory theater. Speech and drama
majors help direct and produce the high
school productions.

All students may participate in the
plays presented by the speech depart-
ment. Participation may be in publicity,
acting, stage makeup, costuming, light-
ing, scene design and construction and
other activities connected with play pro-
duction. Each year there are several ma-
jor productions. Some plays presented
this year were You Can't Take It With
You, The Taming of the Shrew, and
Viet Rock.

Tech has one of the finest debate
teams in the nation. They have won de-
bate tournaments all over the country
and came in second in the Southwest
Conference.

This year the team has traveled
from Dartmouth College to UCLA. De-
bate members have participated in 25
tournaments and have won 225 debates
out of 300. Tech's team is the largest
squad in the Southwest Conference.

MATHEMATICS:
Dr. Patrick O'Dell

Mathematics went on the prowl
this year. With four senior positions
to fill, Dr. O'Dell sought nationally
famous mathematicians. Such men would
bring international fame to the depart-
ment.

In O'Dell's three years here, all
junior level positions have been filled.
Seventy teaching assistants are employed
by the department.

"Emphasis on statistics," a new
program in the department, will assimi-
late students to usually disjoint depart-
ments of psychology, industrial engineer-
ing, agriculture, economics and, of
course, mathematics.

Pet project of the department at
present is to obtain a statistics lab for
the new program.

Though no marked change in size
came in the undergraduate school, the
graduate school bolstered its enrollment
from 70 to 100.

Tech's math department sent dele-
gates to the National Math Convention
and hosted a math seminar in applied
mathematics for all university students.

The department also sponsors an
honors program, not necessarily a part
of the university program, though these
students wovi : he eligible.

MEN'S P.E.:

Dr. Ramon W. Kireilis

Men's Physical Education offered
approximately 87 courses in the basic
physical education program. Nineteen
classes alone were offered in Introduc-
tion to Physical Education. The course
involving some 1500 students is to help
the student understand the university
program and to aid in course selection
for the three required semesters.

Barrow Motor Ability tests are
offered to students to determine motor
fitness and prescribe needed P.E. courses.

Attempting to secure more facilities
a feasibility study is being made for a
new athletic physical education and in-
tramural gym complex.

The department is attempting to
secure a major in adapted sports on the
graduate level.

Five graduate courses are attempt-
ing to develop depth of knowledge in
the physical education field and to de-
velop directors and leaders of physical
education programs.

Fall semester 3,309 students were
enrolled in the service program with
class size averaging 38.

The undergraduate major program
offered 31 courses and an average en-
rollment of 20.7 students per class. 69
seniors, 51 juniors, 40 sophomores and
45 freshmen enrolled in the major pro-
gram in 1968.

WOMEN'S P.E.:

Dr. Margaret Wilson

Women's physical education, under
the direction of Dr. Margaret Wilson,
added a dance major with a Bachelor
of Arts and Bachelor of Science this
year. Every feasible form of dancing is
taught, and graduates are certified dance
teachers.

Girls formed Tech's first female
interscholastic swim team joining the
already established basketball, tennis and
volleyball teams.

Master and Bachelor of Science
degrees are now being offered by the
department and approval for a doctorate
program is being sought.

Activities sponsored by the depart-
ment include folk dance demonstrations
and folk dance workshops. The depart-
ment also holds workshops for mentally
retarded children, the high school; col-

lege track and field meet, a golf clinic
and State Intercollegiate Women's Track
and Field Meet.

Curriculum proposals currently be-
ing sought include a B.A. and B.S. in
P.E. with a recreation major and a
B.S. in P.E. with a health education or
pre-physical therapy major.

TECH SERVICES

Personnel Streamline Campus Life

Tech services include the services
offered by the college for its students
and faculty.

The Extension Service headed by
J. H. Millikin, has been in operation
since 1927, and it has consistently grown
to include 10,000 students. Many classes
are held away from the Tech campus
including Reese Air Force Base. The
Division of Extension offers approxi-
mately 200 courses by correspondence.
A maximum of 18 semester hours of
correspondence work may be counted
toward a bachelor's degree with the
approval of the student's dean.

Station KTXT-TV is an open
channel, noncommercial, educational
television station owned and operated
by Texas Tech. KTXT broadcasts on the
frequency of Channel 5.

Through a recent federal grant
and donation of equipment and funds
by friends of the college, the station is
equipped with the most modern and
finest monochrome facilities available.
The station is staffed and operated by
professional personnel. Courses for resi-

dence credit at Tech are broadcast during
each of the long semesters.

Educational television is one of the
teaching implements used by Tech to
serve the increasingly large enrollments
and to enrich the instructional program.
KTXT-TV, through the broadcast of
programs on public affairs, science, and
fine arts assists Tech in serving the
cultural interests of the community.

The effort of the registration and
admissions departments continued to im-
prove the registration procedure this
year.

Dr. Floyd Boze, dean of admis-
sions, coordinated efforts to reduce the
time it takes a student to register. James
Watkins, Registrar, and Evelyn Clewell,
director of institutional studies and space
utility, plan the steps the student takes
through the coliseum. Kenneth Wallace
directs undergraduate admissions and Dr.
Maryanne Reid is in charge of admis-
sions for foreign students.

Besides registration procedure, the
Office of the Dean of Admissions keeps
all academic records on every student,

issues grades and scholastic order for
registration, schedules class times and
rooms, and establishes final exam sched-
ules. This office also provides freshmen
pre-registration guidance, testing and
orientation sessions.

A well-known service is the Office
of Room Reser\'ations that handles room
assignments, room changes, and the col-
lection of room rent. Hubert L. Burgess,
director of residence halls, coordinates
these activities for the dormitory resi-
dents.

Regulation of traffic and parking
conditions are more necessary services
provided for Tech students. Traffic Se-
curity, under the direction of Chief Bill
Daniels, maintain the entry stations to
the campus, handle car registrations, and
issue driving and parking violations.

Mrs. Jean Jenkins and her staff
work year around to provide Tech stu-
dents, graduates, and student wives with
suitable jobs through the Placement
Service. Its facilities are available to all
Tech students regardless of their major
field of study or professional interest.

Facilities and Staffs

Benefit Student Body

The Texas Tech Library, under the
direction of Ray Janeway, provides a
much needed service to students and the
city of Lubbock. The collections of the
library are intended to meet the re-
search needs of faculty and students in
support of the academic program. Hold-
ings now total nearly 1,000,000 items,
including books, periodicals, govern-
ment documents and other materials.

The library also provides for its
readers microfilm and microprint, a
rapid copy service, and private individual
study rooms for faculty members en-
gaged in research. There is space in
the library for 1009 students to study.

One of the two Regional Deposi-
tories for U. S. government documents
in Texas and a depository of the Atomic
Energy Commission, the library is staffed
by 35 professional and 40 clerical li-
brarians.

The acquisition program has been
supplemented by contributions from the
Friends of the Library. This organiza-
tion has made possible the purchase of
a bookstore stock, has contributed many

individual volumes, and purchased a
sizeable collection in the history of art.
The newest addition to these various
collections is the Coronelli Globe do-
nated by Robert Moody of Dallas.

KTXT-FM is the university's own
radio station with its studios in the
speech building. The station provides
a service of music, news, and special
programs complementary to that pro-
vided by local commercial stations.
KTXT-FM also provides a channel of
communication within the Tech com-
munity and from the college to the
Lubbock community.

KTXT-FM is administered by the
Speech Department and is managed and
staffed by students. Station facilities are
also used by broadcasting students en-
rolled in some courses in the Speech
Department.

The Ex-Students Association is an
independent organization cooperating
with and serving the college and pro-
viding an opportunity for continued
friendship and a close relationship
among ex-students. The association is

headed by Wayne James.

Every former student is eligible
for membership on application to the
association. Besides serving as an alumni
organization, the association performs
a number of services for the college. It
maintains records of alumni, recruits
outstanding academic students, and pro-
vides scholarships and loan funds. The
Ex-Students Association also publishes
news of college and alumni activities
through The Texas Techsan and Tex
Talks.

A well-known service is the Office
of Room Reservations that handles room
assignments, room changes, and the col-
lection of room rent. Hurbert Burgess,
coordinator of room reservations, directs
these activities for the dormitory resi-
dents.

In operation since 1947, the Stu-
dent Health Center provides medical
care for students. A staff of four full-
time doctors, hospital beds for patients
and free examinations except for special
services are ail part of their efficient
service.

Ray Janeway inspects a newly acquired addi-
tion to the Library — the Coronelli Globe.

School of Education Selects New Dean

Dr. Gleon Barnett sen'ed as the head of the
School of Education.

Perhaps the School of Education's
predominate project this year has been
a search for a new dean. The current
• Dean of Education, Dr. Glenn Barnett
is also executive vice president. In his
first year at Tech, he found the two
jobs more than enough for one man.
In April, President Murray announced
that Dr. Gordon C. Lee will become
the dean of Education at Tech begin-
ning in the fall of 1969.

Several young professors will also
be added to the educational staff. The
counseling and testing and secondary
education fields will add to their num-
ber.

The School of Education obtained
grants faster than any other school on
campus this year.

In the changing patterns of prepa-
ration in the teaching field, two or
three workshops related to teacher aids
will be offered by the school this sum-
mer.

Two staff members are currently
serving two years in Nicaragua with
the Southwestern Alliance of Latin
America. Tom Livingston is the chief
of the party.

As a follow-up to the previous
years' self-study program, the depart-
ment expanded its research to specifics
turned up in the study. Research on
teaching and learning, international
work, leadership and new techniques
in committee work are being studied by
the School.

Tech's School of Education sought
accreditation from the National Council
of Teacher Accreditation this year.

Four kindergarten courses have
been added to the elementary education
curriculum, according to Dr. L. Kathe-
rine Evans, chairman of the department.
One is for undergraduates and three
are for graduate students.

Emphasis has also been placed on
science leadership courses for elemen-
tary schools. Numerous institutes and
workshops were held last year for the
project.

At least one outstanding staffer
and two instructors at the professor
level will be added to the elementary
education staff next year.

The department took on a plan-
ning study of curriculum for problem
centeredness this year. Video-taping and
closed circuit television were utilized to
train teachers through self observation.

Majors were put to work with chil-
dren in their environment so they might
be ready to work with children when
they enter the teaching field.

SECONDARY EDUCATION:

Dr. Holmes Webb

"Team teaching" is the current
word in the secondary education field,
according to Dr. Holmes Webb, head
of secondary education department. The
idea is for several teachers to form a
group to plan and present the curricu-
lum jointly. One teacher may be re-
sponsible for a visual display, another
may present the lesson.

Dr. Charles Rebstock worked with
this and other techniques in Lorenzo
this year. He also experimented with
the idea of individual instruction. One
teacher conducts a class, but assorted as-
signments are given to the students.

These are only a few of the inno-
vations making a cross-country sweep in
the field of education.

Teachers are certified in two ways
by the secondary education department.
A student may major in secondary edu-
cation professional courses and develop
two teaching fields with 24 hours each.
The alternative is to incorporate a
bachelor of arts degree with a major
and minor and 18 hours of education
courses.

GRADUATE WORK IN

EDUCATION:

Dr. Berlie Fallon

Dr. Berlie Fallon heads the grow-
ing graduate program in Tech's School
of Education. At present 20 doctoral
graduate students are fulfilling their
one-year residence requirement.

The department sponsors an exten-
sive range of night school courses and
hosts a heavy summer school enroll-
ment.

One of the department projects
last year was the federally-subsidized
training of bilingual children. Drage
Watson headed this project.

With the growth of junior col-
leges, the department is hoping to offer
more courses in the field of higher edu-
cation, that is instruction for those
teaching above the high school level.

Graduate work is carried on in the
fields of educational media, curriculum
and instruction, supervision, public
school administration and guidance
counseling. Research work is an aug-
mented part of any degree.

A Columbia University education
professor was named dean of the School
of Education by Tech President Grover
E. Murray in the late spring.

Dr. Gordon C. Lee assumed the
position July 1. Dr. Glenn Barnett has
held this office in conjunction with the
position of executive vice president of
Tech.

Lee was currently a professor at
Teachers College of Columbia Univer-
sity, and he also served as professor
and dean of the College of Education
at the University of Washington from
1961-1967.

Wiyile at Teachers College, Colum-
bia, he served as chief of party for a
USAID tcraii to Kabul, Afghanistan,
from SeptemL'r 1967 to February 1968.

Dr. Lee hid spent an earlier period

34~Post

of three years at Teachers College and
nine years as professor in the depart-
ment of education at Pomona College,
one year of it as chairman.

Lee said, "I accepted this appoint-
ment because the school shows great
potential and promise, and I am glad
to accept the challenge put before me."

Lee received his doctorate in history
of education from Columbia in 1948,
his master's from that institution in the
teaching of history in 1938 and his
bachelor's degree in history from the
University of California at Berkeley in
1937.

Lee said he feels himself "basically
a historian who chose to move to a
focus on the history of education and
educational thought."

The Lubbock State School for the
Mentally Retarded opened during May
and afforded many opportunities in
Tech's special education department. Dr.
Bruce Mattson, chairman of special edu-
cation, said students will be doing stu-
dent teaching, research and observation
at the new school.

Mr. Joe Burks, part-time instruc-
tor, will be principal of the new school
while retaining his part-time position
at Tech.

A new program with the depart-
ment is the training of multiple-handi-
capped and deaf-retarded children. The
Lubbock school will be the state center
for deaf-retarded children.

Special education is cooperating
with the ICASALS project in develop-
ing ideas for services for special chil-
dren in sparsely populated areas.

The department has had an 80 per
cent enrollment increase since last
spring.

Undergraduate majors in elemen-
tary or secondary education may receive
a dual teaching certificate in special
education.

Students specialize in teaching
the mentally-retarded, physically-handi-
capped, the deaf, or children with speech
or hearing deficiencies.

binding together in a common fellow-
ship those who are serious students of
mathematics, takes pride in its local Tex-
as Alpha chapter. Membership require-
ments include a 3.0 in math and a 3.0
overall grade average. Since the incep-
tion of the chapter in April, 1940, there
have been 744 local active members
with 74 members active at present.

The sponsor Dr. Derald Walling
has provided this chapter with many
stimulating speakers at each of its
monthly meetings. At the end of each
meeting there is a social gathering for
all participants.

The officers for the past year have
been the following: Wayne Woodward,
president; David Henneke, vice presi-
dent; Judy Murrah, secretary; and Judy
Forsman, treasurer. Members of Kappa
Mu Epsilon often participate in a math
tutoring program. Two initiations, one
in the fall and one in the spring, take
place each year.

One project that the chapter has
initiated is the donation of $50 each
year to the Emmett Hazlewood Fund.
Since mathematics is ever-increasing in
its importance in the world around us,
Kappa Mu Epsilon encourages excel-
lence in the study of mathematics.

While three men circled the moon.

we fought for a new name. While the
world belched from starving wars, we
griped about dormitory food. Here we
are — a college, or is it a university?
Here America is — revolution, or
reason; obscenity, or freedom of ex-
pression; discrimination, or dilapida-
tion. The world reeks from poverty
and hunger while we select few educate
ourselves to accept the responsibility
that has yet to be explained. In search
for an identity, sometimes reckless,
sometimes conservative, we progress
degree by degree.

To accept the world is our deter-
mination and not our destiny. We no
longer bend to the wind of politics, but
challenge a tradition that has yielded
the longest war in America's history. In
1969, the country heard the cry of
youth for it was a plea for explana-
tions and not for excuses. Although
dissidents at Texas Tech were not as
radical in their actions as other college
students across the nation, the same
questions plagued our thoughts and
demanded recognition.

The world's educated human will
decide what the future will disclose,
and he must know what forces control
him, and what powers he must conquer
to survive. Toward this future Tech-
sans aimed their expectations. Under-
standing was the motivation although
the goal lay shrouded ahead. To this
end we move; an education for the fu-
ture, an impetus for betterment.

An Expansion
of the Individual

Business Administration
Towers 2,1 12 inches

!•

(!•

Dynamic is the word to describe
Tech's School of Business Administra-
tion, now the largest BA school in
Texas.

Since 1958 the school has grown
from 1668 total students to today's en-
rollment of 4610. Dr. Reginald Rush-
ing, interim dean, states that the school
has shown greater growth than Texas
Tech as a whole and greater expan-
sion than any other school on campus.
Semester hours credited for the fiscal
year ending August 31, 1968, reached
67,382. Due to this growth, a $4.7
million structure has been completed
to house the dynamic school.

It was felt that this project could
offer the greatest relief for needed
classroom and office space, based
upon a justified program which was
projected to 1972. As a result, the
modern building was designed to
house an enrollment of 6,000 students
in the School of Business Administra-
tion. Until this enrollment is reached,
25 general classrooms and seminar
rooms will be available for preferred
use.

There is a total of 21 laboratories,

one 500-capacity lecture hall and a
400-capacity study area in the facility.
Offices for 160 faculty, eight offices
within the department chairmen's
complex, and spaces for 62 teaching
assistants are contained in the tower-
ing 12 story office element. The facil-
ity can accommodate 3,990 students per
hour.

The faculty of the school now
numbers 173 including teaching assist-
ants. Dr. Rushing has acted as interim
dean since June 1, 1968. Before accept-
ing the post he was chairman of ac-
counting, where he has diligently
worked since 1948. Dr. Rushing has
been at Tech since 1939, except for a
four-year absence during World War
II.

A new doctorate request for the
economics department will be pre-
sented to the state coordinating board.
The degree will probably be offered in
the fall of 1970.

The dynamic expansion of the
School of Business Administration has
projected it to be not only the largest
BA school in Texas but certainly one
of the most proficient.

Dr. Reginald Rushing (left) reflects on the
unparalleled growth of Texas Tech's School
of Business Administration. Various angles
of the new $4.7 million building (below) not
only provide needed expansion facilities for
the school, but also add to the growing
skyline of the campus.

It expresses itself in five different
areas.

Accounting, one of the fastest
growing professions and the largest
department in this school, is directed
by Dr. Frank Imke. Another area, ec-
onomics and finance, headed by Dr.
Robert L. Rouse, offers a wide variety
of career opportunities in the business
world. Dr. William R. Pasewark serves
as chairman of a third area, business
and secretarial education. Marketing, a
major economic activity, is the fourth
area, headed by Dr. John Allen Ryan.
The fifth is management, under the
direction of Dr. Vincent P. Luch-
singer.

With over 4500 students, Business
Administration is one of the most
progressive schools on campus, offer-
ing nineteen different major fields of
study, from retailing to pre-law. This
year a major in general business has
been added, enabling a student to have
a general education in business and
also in another field outside of the
business department.

Dr. John Gilliam, a colorful
figure in this versatile school, serves as
assistant dean. Dr. Gilliam, coming to
Texas Tech in 1962, was on leave as
a representative of the Ford Founda-
tion in the Middle East for two years.
Since rejoining the department, he has
contributed in making business one of
the most progressive schools on cam-
pus.

Graduate School Formulates
New Degree Offerings

The academic departments of the
Graduate School are constantly study-
ing their programs and new areas of
interest in an effort to evaluate the
school's procedures more clearly. The
development of new programs to meet
the increasing demands of interested
students has made the school one of
the fastest growing at Tech.

Under the direction of Dr. Law-
rence L. Graves, interim dean, the
school is reviewing the procedures to
better serve the faculty and students.
Examples of the procedures are re-
quirements for degrees and admissions
standards. "There is a definite differ-
ence between the undergraduate and
graduate work. The more complex
graduate work focuses on the inde-
pendent study and analysis of educa-
tion," said Dr. Graves. The school now
numbers 400 faculty members and
over 2000 students.

Plans for Ph.D. degrees in sociolo-
gy and economics are being considered
by the administrators. The new medi-
cal school for Tech will bring added
research funds, while new degree of-
ferings are constantly being studied.
Masters degrees in fine art, city plan-
ning, and specialized functions of mu-
sic are now being studied for possible
adoption.

Graduate work has been offered
at Tech since 1927. In 1937 the grad-
uate program became a separate unit
under its own dean and council. The
Graduate School requires evidence of
an applicant's special ability for ad-
mission to its degree programs. In ad-
dition, the school makes its facilities
available to a wide variety of students,
who are not eligible or do not wish to
become applicants for degrees.

The dean of the Graduate School
is the general advisor for all graduate
students, but, so far as the particular
courses are concerned, a student is
counseled by the chairmen of his
major '■' minor departments. The
Graduate '"ouncil, assisted by the
graduate faculty, is charged with the
responsibility of formulating the poli-
cies of the school and the requirements
for graduate degrees. These policies
are administered by the dean.

Acting as interim dean for the Graduate
School is Dr. Lawrence L. Graves.

Lavi School Facilities Near Completion

An essential ingredient of the
study of law is learning by doing. No
law school can aspire to a position
of excellence without adequate facil-
ities.

A permanent building to house the
School of Law has been in the planning
stages for over a year and is soon to
become a reality.

When completed, the building will
provide classroom, library, faculty, and
administrative office space for the
needs of a school of 575 students and
approximately 30 faculty members.

The structure has been designed
by the architectural firm of Harrell
and Hamilton of Dallas to maintain
the dominant features of the best kind
of current, conventional legal educa-
tion while permitting the addition of
prospective developments as the school
increases in enrollment and in the num-
ber of courses offered.

Due for completion in the fall of 1969, the
Law School begins to emerge with the con-
struction of the foundation by workers.

Law School

Status

Quoted

Tech prides itself in the formation
of its new School of Law. Not only
does Tech offer a law degree, but a
process that enables an accomplished
student-faculty relationship. Through
this close bond, the law school faculty
can help solve classroom problems and
act as a general counselor to concerned
students. The main emphasis is in the
classroom, but the school is extremely
interested in the total concept of the
student.

The school met the requirements
for provisional approval by the Ameri-
can Bar Association and was so noti-
fied by the Council of the Section
Lesal Education and Admissions to the

Bar in February, 1968. Training
young men and women for the practice
of law anywhere in the United States,
whether it be as advocate, counselor,
judge, or law teacher, is the high ob-
jective of the School of Law faculty.

The first law students to receive
their degrees will be graduated in
September, 1969. Currently, the new
law school building is moving steadily
toward a November, 1969, completion
date.

Dean Richard Amandes has
traveled extensively promoting the new-
law school, and obtained a highly-re-
spected faculty.

Engineering School

Molds Future

Into Diversified Careers

Engineering: "The use of nature's
forces for the benefit of man."

With over 2100 students, the
school of engineering is one of the
most progressive on the Tech campus.
Headed by Dr. John Bradford, (left),
dean of the school and its motivating
force, the aim of the school of en-
gineering is to impart a basic knowl-
edge of the fundamentals of engineer-
ing, with specialization in one particu-
lar branch to that extent which ex-
perience indicates to be desirable.
Students may choose from nine fields,
including agricultural, architecture,
civil, chemical, electrical, industrial,
mechanical, petroleum, textile, and en-
gineering physics. The fields of archi-
tecture, chemical, electrical, industrial,
and mechanical have received the high-
est accreditation.

The core curriculum for under-
graduates, begun in 1955, has achieved
such success that the Texeis Coordina-
ting board has accepted this plan for
the state. The course of study is plan-
ned to give the student training which
is not readily obtainable after gradu-
ation. As an aid to the development of
scientific attitude, the importance of the
qualities of honesty, loyalty, thorough-
ness, and industry is emphasized. Ex-
perience has shown that this type of
training produces the most successful
engineers.

Attention is called to the fact that
in a civilization such as ours, in which
one is at all times in contact witli the
results of our modem industrial ;ievel-
opment, no type of education Is more
suitable than that leading to an en-
gineering degree.

ciety in terms that will help society as
a whole," asserts Dr. Louis J. Powers,
chairman of the department of engi-
neering. Both the departments of
mechanical and textile engineering
have instigated various programs of
study and research which apply engi-
neering solutions to social problems.

Designing playground equipment
for elementary school children and
sanitation maintenance in underprivi-
leged areas in and around Lubbock
is a current project of the department
of mechanical engineering.

The department of textile engi-
neering also strives to help society
and the local community through basic
and applied research on techniques for
the utilization of cotton, wool, and
mohair. An effort to increase the
utility of these fibers is being made,

•

and studies are promoted to seek
new markets for these fibers.

Rapid growth is expected in the
textile engineering department with
the opening of new laboratory facil-
ities and the addition of new fac-
ulty members. Planned for the new
facility are laboratory scale and full
scale equipment for preparing, dyeing,
and finishing fabrics. When the Tex-
tile Research Center is completed, Tech
will be the only college campus which
has facilities capable of studying tex-
tile operations from fiber production
to the production of finished products.

The process of converting natural
resources to workable items are the
problems of the chemical engineers.

He must design the building and
the machines needed for these
processes as well as find the quickest
and easiest method of obtaining the
final products.

It may mean building a sterling
silver machine or heating and cooling
chemicals to extreme temperatures. It
may mean finding the best catalyst
for a reaction. In any case the chemical
engineer is always striving to refine
these processes for greater efficiency.

At present the department, headed
by Dr. Arnold J. Gully, is studying the
atmospheric pressures in space cabi-
nets. Mixtures of trace elements in the
air may have objectionable results
over a period of time. The purpose of
this research is to eliminate or convert
these elements to oxygen or some other
useable material. Chemical engineers

are taking great strides in aiding the
common man.

Communication, power transmis-
sions, transportation — these three sub-
jects lead to an advanced civilization.
Electrical engineering is directly con-
cerned with the first two of these. With
this immense task, the electrical en-
gineer seeks to establish new fields of
progress. Besides electrical equipment,
engineers study the use of laser beams,
electricity in medicine, and most re-
cently, hot plasma as compulsion.
Electrical engineering leads in opening
new fields of opportunity for tomor-
row's world. The electrical engineering
department is headed by Dr. Russell H.
Seacat, Jr.

The chemical and electrical engi-
neering departments not only aid the
community in fulfilling their practical
needs, but also aid Texas Tech in be-
coming a "working" university.

these fields and includes research in
each.

With the addition of a new build-
ing east of the present one, the depart-
ment will have modern laboratories
for graduate research. The new struc-
ture, due for completion by the fall of
1970, will almost triple the capacity
of the present area.

This year the department's main
endeavor is the Ogalalla water project.
Its purpose is to solve the water short-
age by establishing a mathematical
model of the earth formations.

The department of petroleum en-
gineering, a rapidly growing school,
is now working on a project which
will benefit the entire West Texas area.
By studying the flow of liquids through
the earth, engineers are trying to solve
the water shortage problem. In at-
tempting this, they are pumping lake
water underground at the rate of
5,000 gallons a minute.

William L. Ducker, now serving
his twenty-first year as chairman of
the department, reports significant re-
sults on this project. The school re-
cently published an information bul-
letin on research and graduate studies,
indicating that petroleum engineering
is a lucrative and growing field.

Departmental
Roles Increase

Capitalizing on research and new
building facilities, the industrial en-
gineering and architecture departments
have expanded their roles in the Tech
Engineering School.

Sponsored research in the indus-
trial engineering department includes:
the study of performance, recovery and
man-machine effectiveness; an indus-
trial engineering study and analysis of
the operations through which cotton
passes between the farm and the mill;
and an investigation of specific prob-
lems in operation research.

The Department of Defense has al-
located $467,500 for the research of the
performance, recovery and man-
machine effectiveness study. The re-
search is an interdisciplinary approach
to the study of man at work to in-
vestigate the effects on performance
and recovery rates, physiological re-
sponses and training responses of task
demands. Also included is the research
of the level of motivation, nutritional
history, environmental conditions and
work systems settings.

A combination of these conditions
will be used while man is performing
as a machine servant and a machine
controller.

The study of operations through
which cotton passes between the farm
and the mill includes the objective to
develop an analytical model of the
present raw cotton processing handling
system. The study must also take into
account the limitations imposed upon
it by traditional practices and trade
rules. This study is sponsored by the
Cotton Producers Institute and the Na-
tional Cotton Council with the amount
of grants totaling $98,000 for 1968
and the same amount for 1969.

The architecture department will
move into a $4.2 million Architecture
and Art Facility by the proposed date
of September 1970. The building will
be located south of the new Business
Administration Building, and will
tower 12 stories high. H. A. Lett, Inc.

The Tech Chapter of the Ameri-
can Institute of Chemical Engineers
was founded in 1938. Thus it is one
of the oldest student organizations on
campus. It is the student branch of
the chemical engineers' professional
society.

Organized to present to the chemi-
cal engineering major a profile of his
chosen profession, the AIChE sponsors
the annual senior plant trip to chem-
ical processing plants. This year the
seniors visited the Houston-Baytown
area. The trip affords the students
an unusual opportunity to observe
many different areas of the chemical
process industry.

Monthly meetings are devoted al-
most entirely to broadening the mem-
bers' perspective and understanding

of the areas in which a professional
engineer may become involved. The
AIChE sponsored a visit by Celanese
Corporation this year, which included
live demonstrations and films of var
ious methods of synthetic textile fiber
production.

Realizing that the making of a
professional engineer cannot wholly be
technical in nature, the AIChE spon-
sored intramural volleyball and co-ed
Softball teams as well as the annual
Spring Picnic.

The officers were: Carl Oelze,
president; Tom Beard, vice president;
Tom Fine, secretary; Don Davis, trea-
surer; and Tom Eller, social chairman.
The faculty advisor is Dr. A. G. Oberg,
who has been the chapter sponsor since
its founding.

American
Society

For over 40 years civil engineer-
ing students at Tech have been affili-
ated with the American Society of
Civil Engineers through the Student
Chapter of ASCE. The J. H. Murdough

of Civil Engineers

Student Chapter, named in honor of
a past chairman of the department and
a member of the original Tech faculty,
has been rated an outstanding chapter
by the Board of Directors of ASCE
for 20 of the past 21 years.

In the past year the chapter spon-
sored professional speakers, field trips,
intramural sports teams and the an-
nual student-faculty softball game.
Highlight of the year was the spring
banquet where Dr. George A. Whet-
stone was presented an award for 22
years of service as faculty advisor of
the organization. Speaker for the
banquet was Mr. Frank H. Newnam,
National President of the 60,000
member ASCE.

Looking forward to next year, the
members are preparing for the joint
meeting of the Texas and New Mexico
Sections to be held in Lubbock.

IEEE
Organization

The Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers was founded in
1884 as the professional organization
for electrical engineers. The student
branch of the IEEE was established in
1902 so that undergraduate electrical
engineers might maintain contact with
professional engineers in industry. In
carrying out this goal, the Tech chap-
ter of the IEEE conducts a number of
regularly-scheduled meetings at which
different guest speakers tell the stu-
dents about recent developments in
technology and the effects these devel-
opments have on industry.

Chairman, Bill Nunnally; vice-
chairman, Robert Luck; secretary,
Paul Lambert; treasurer, Johnny
Harper; and publicity chairman, Ben-
ny Benson, head the organization's 225
members. Dr. John P. Craig is the
faculty advisor.

Each spring the IEEE sponsors a
student paper contest. This contest al-
lows students to perform individual re-
search on topics of their own choosing
and to present their findings in a tech-
nical paper. Among the papers entered
this year were "Current Instabilities in
N-type Germanium" and "Holography."

In April, the Tech chapter pre-
pared a display for the annual
SWIEEECO Convention in San An-
tonio. The purpose of the display was
to publicize Texas Tech and the de-
partment of electrical engineering.

Pi Tau Sigma

Mechanical
Engineers ^

The Sigma Epsilon Chapter of Pi ,
Tau Sigma, the national honorary fra-JH
ternity for mechanical engineers, was ^^
organized on the Tech campus in 1966.

The purpose of this organization
is "to foster the high ideals of the
engineering profession, to stimulate
interest in coordinate departmental ac-
tivities, to promote the mutual pro-
fessional welfare of its members, and
to develop the attributes necessary for
effective leadership and the assumption
of the responsibilities of a citizen in a
democracy. The group re-established
a program for the purpose of tutoring
freshman students in the field of com-
puter programming. This year a total
of 18 new members were taken during
the fall and spring semesters. Faculty
sponsor was Dr. J. H. Lawrence.

Members of Pi Tau Sigma are (left to right,

Phi Psi fraternity is a profes-
sional organization for textile majors
in good standing. Chartered in 1931,
Kappa Chapter was the first Greek-let-
ter fraternity to be recognized by Tech.
The basic goals and aims of Phi Psi
are to promote brotherhood among its
members, both during their scholastic
career and upon entering the textile
industry, to create and continue in-
terest in textiles at Tech as well as
nationwide, to act in the best inter-
ests of our country, state and school,
and to uphold the highest ideals of
conduct and citizenship at all times.

Of the ten colleges in the US
that offer a curriculum in textiles,
Tech has the distinction of having the
only textile program west of the Mis-
sissippi River. With the completion of
the new Textile Research Center, Tech
will have the largest facilities avail-
able for research and educational pur-
poses in the world.

Phi Psi has participated in many
campus projects including Homecom-
ing, Miss Playmate, and Road Rally.
Phi Psi's major project this year was
the manufacture and selling of laundry
bags. Officers for the year were:
George Sutton, president; Isaac Jones,
Robert Bobalik, chapter editor; Larry
vice president; Klaus Klein, secretary;
Baird, senior warden; and James
Sweeten, junior warden.

School of Agriculture

ecli Meets International Challenge

The problem of food is being met
head-on by the Agricultural School's
research involving the problems of un-
derdeveloped countries.

Tech's department heads and fac-
ulty have traveled to many foreign coun-
tries in attempts to teach these people
new methods. Agricultural Dean Ger-
ald W. Thomas has taken an active part
by traveling to Algeria, Chad, and Tur-
key in various research programs. This
interest in international agriculture has
made a great impact on the agriculture
school at Texas Tech.

The various programs offered in the
school are designed to fully prepare a
student for a purposeful role in the ag-
riculture industry.

Agronomy is a dynamically chang-
ing agricultural science. Agronomy stu-
dents are challenged and made aware
of the need for international education
and development in the art and science
of producing useful crops from the soil,
plant, and climatic resources of the in-
habited areas of the world.

Students are provided curricula
which will prepare them as crop sci-
entists, plant breeders, crop producers,
industry specialists in crop processing
and marketing, seed producers, seed mer-
chandizers, and fertilizer and agricul-
tural chemists.

Students are trained at both the
undergraduate and graduate levels to
serve in industry, research, and educa-
tion at both national and international
levels. One curriculum, in the area of
crops, involves the subjects of crop im-
provement, crop production, and the
effective use of the available agricul-
tural resources. A second curriculum
deals with the physical, chemical, and
biological properties and processes
which occur in the soil. Both curricula
stress the necessity to consider the soil,
plant, and moisture relationships in the
profitable and efficient use of these
resources.

The training in Range Manage-
ment qualifies students as ranch man-
agers of either public or private range-
lands.

This training includes studying the
uses of rangelands by livestock and
wildlife. Areas of emphasis include
range management for students planning
to be ranchers or work for public land
agencies, wildlife management to em-
phasize wildlife production and habitat
pianagement, and range business for
those who will go into the business
phase of range management.

By the fall of 1969, a new depart-
ment. Range and Wildlife Management,
will be open to Tech students.

Each year there is an increasing
demand for personnel trained in park
administration. This year the gradu.ite
students of park planning made a study
to capitalize on the historical back-
ground of Central and South Texas.
The results of this study were published
in a booklet entitled A So/ith Cciilr-.il
Texas To/nud) — El Ccimino Viejo. It
is a photographic tour through South
Central Texas, emphasizing its culture,
copious nature, colorful past, regional
development, and diversity of pleasure.

The study of horticulture is one
of the broadest fields in the entire
School of Agriculture. The broad nature
of this field offers the student an excel-
lent chance to specialize in a particular
field of study, thus making careers in
production, business management, flori-
culture, vegetable crops, fruit, ornamen-
tal plants, and easily accessible turf.

A highly developed program in
entomology enables students to concen-
trate between insects and animals, man
and agriculture. The entomology cur-
ricula is designed to prepare students for
jobs in research, teaching or insect con-
trol.

Elo Urbano\sky, head of the hor-
ticulture and entomology department,
did a year of research in Hawaii on the
biological control of insects.

During this academic year the de-
partment of Agricultural Engineering
participated in various research proj-
ects involving several foreign countries.
The engineering program has also ex-
panded to include research for the In-
ternational Center for Arid and Semi-
Arid Land Studies. There are five areas
of specialization in this program: soil
and water conservation, farm power and
machinery, farmstead and buildings,
farm electrification and utilities, and
agricultural crop processing. These spe-
cialization programs enable the depart-
ment to further its research for the need
of foreign nations as well as our own
country.

Th; department of Animal Hus-
bandry has actiuired the new name of
Animal Science. This program involves
extensive training in the areas of busi-
ness and animal husbandr)-. The depart-
ment has foreign students who are learn-
ing about the proper methods for ani-
mal production. In order to aid the stu-
dent, such facilities as a feed lot sys-
tem, a milking parlor, and a modern
meat industry l.ib are provided for the
student.

The Dairy Industr)- is involved in
many nationwide research programs.
The department competed in the Inter-
collegiate Contest for Dairy and Food
Production in Chicago with twenty-four
teams from states all oxer the nation.
Several members of the faculty repre-
sented our school in Mexico for an In-
ternation.il I'ood Conference. Through-
out the year the program also included
research for the ICASALS program.

The aim of the agricultural eco-
nomics department is to deal with eco-
nomic problems encountered in market-
ing, on farms, and by non-farm agricul-
tural business. The appraisal of farm
and ranch land, l.md and water eco-
nomics, and the economics of farm pro-
duction are the primary areas of em-
phasis. In addition, instruction in re-
search methods, .igriailtural policies, and
.agricultural finance is available.

Instructors in vocational .agriculture
are the main goal for the department
of Agricultural Education. The depart-
ment also strives to prepare the student
for employment with .igencies such as
the Soil Conservation Service and the
Agricultural Extension Service.
