The 1961 Homecoming is now history. It was one of the biggest and best in Tech's history. This was possible through the tireless efforts of numProus individuals and organizations. The officers and staff of the Ex-Students Association are deeply indebted to a]) those who had a part in this year's Homecomin!{.
We fc<·l quite honored that the Vice President of the United States, The Honorable Lyndon B Johnson, was able to participate in the Homecoming activities He is the highest ranking official in office to have ever visited on the Campus or in Lubbock. His appearance at the first Annual Dinner of the Texas Tech Century Club will long be remembered. I am deeply indebted to Congressman George Mahon, Mr. David Casey, Mayor of Lubbock, and Mr. Chas. A. Guy, Editor and Publisher of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, for their help and advice on the many things concerning the Vice President's visit.
Exes continuously say that the Homecoming Luncheon is one of the finest events on the program each year. This year was no exception. More exes were gathered at one time during the luncheon this year than at any otht'r e\·ent on the program. This year's luncheon contributed much to the success of Homecoming. For their outstanding cont r·ibutions, I would like to express our sincere appreciation to Furr Foods. Inc., Dunlap's Department Stores, and Frontier Stamps.
I f<.•el that every Ex-Student who has ever worked on a float, appreciated tht' efforts of all the students in charge of construction or working on a float. Work on a float means time away from studies and sleepl;:-ss nights. It also means good times, good fellowship and the idea of doing something for the College and the returning exes. This year's parad(> was on(' of the t incst in Tech's history. To those organizations that rarticipat(•d W<' say a "Big Thank You" and only wish that all of you could ha\·e been winnez·s.
Dtw to the size of the office staff, each year we must ask the help of the campus sen·ice organizations. To the members and pledges of Alpha Phi Omega, Association of Women Students, President's Hostesses. Saddle Tramps and the Womens Service Organization, on behalf of the entire Ex-Students Association, I wish to express our gratitude and appreciation, for their outstanding contributions to the Homecoming act h·i ties.
Only a few people probably realize the months of planning and working that gO<'s into a successful Homecoming. Student Chairman, Bill Riley. and his committee did an outstanding job. It was a pleasure to ha\·e worked with them and in my opinion they are the "unknown heroes" of this year's Homecoming.

Until recently, the State of Texas was woefully bPhind many other states in appropriations for higher education. However, an awareness developed on the part of the Texas Commission on Higher Education, the Legislative Budget Board, the Executive Budget Office, and the Legislature, with the result that there has been a great deal of improvement. A system was devised whereby Texas could "catch up' ' in an orderly manner and much progress has been made in that direction . A very great deal of information has been accumulated from out-of-state institutions and is available to the budget offices and the Legislature in order to intelligently determine the needs of Texas.
Also , there is more information generally available on the 19 Texas institutions than ever before and attempts have been made to prevent overlapping and duplication and to secure a more efficient and better operation in higher education Progress has been made and additional studies which promise to bear fruit are under way at the present time.
The two per cent limited sales tax, which was passed at the last session, provided some relief for the hard-pressed Legislature to provide more adequately for institutions of higher learning . For the past six years, the Legislature appropriated from General Revenue for the academic teaching institutions alone, according to recent figures released by the Texas Comrmsswn on Higher Education, $31,073,896, $30,630,422, $38,069,973 , $37,470,936, $44,446,633 and $44,776,478 , an increase of $13,702,582 in the period. For the current year and the next year of the present biennium, the Legislature appropriated General Funds in the amount of $54 ,653,035 and $56,991 ,902, an increase of $9,876,557 and $12,215,424 over the appropriation for the past fiscal year The increase each year is not far from the total gain during the previous six years. The increase included $795,063 and $1,573,731 for Midwestern as it has just become a state-supported school.
During the past six years, Texas Tech's appropriation from General Revenue Funds has been $3,317,953; $3,022,938; $3,707,538; $3,679 , 007; $4,336,902 and $4,400,898, an increase of $1,082,945 during the
Board scm·es were well above the national average, particularly in mathematics. There were 65 high school valedictorians enrolled this fall.
Students were registea·ed last year from 222 of the 254 counties in Texas, 43 states and 24 foreign lands.
Tht• Bachelm·'s degree is offered in &1 fields, the masters in 36 and the doctors in six.
Last year· the cost per full-time student from Educational and General Funds was $640 .28. The average full-time student paid $162 or 2 3' ':>. ,
Excluding Building Funds and Agency Funds, the original operating budget for 1960-61 was $10,531.982. For 1961-62 the original oper-ating budget is $12,122,220, an increase of $1.580.237 over the pre· ceding year. In addition, to the educational and general funds, all auxiliary enterprise funds are budgett•d, such as dormitories, bookstore. student union. athletics, Tech press. and others

During the past six years, the enrollment at Texas Tech as of the 12th class day has been 7,156, 8 ,055, 8,566, 8 ,770, 8.867, and 9,178.
For the current year, the enrollment at the end of the 12th class day was 10,212, an increase of 1,034 over the preceding year amt an increase of 42 .7', ( since 1956.

Research funds expended during the past year rose sharply over the pt-cceding yt:>ar, a total of $464,704 was expended for research, an increase of 5167 ,329 over the preceding year.
The value or the Physical Plant at original cost as or Aug. 31, 1961, was S41 ,575,67 4. There has been an increase since Sept. 1, 1949, of S30 ,07R,296. It is anticipated that an additional $20 million will be expended on the Physical Plant by 1970 The Constitutional Building .Amenciment has allowed the College to keep pace fairly well with the growing student needs.
There are 1,844 acres remaining from the original 2,008 and Texas Tech is reputed to have the second largest campus in America . Approximately 285 acres are in the campus proper anci maintained by the Grounds Department.
There were, as of October 6, 1961. 5,788 cars registered for parking on campus. The total mits issued during the precedmg year was 6,792
There are 163 buildings on the campus, 80 of which are considered as permanent.
There are 2.304 ,252 square feet of f!c.Jr space in the buildings on campus at present. The square foot.age comprises 52 9 acres to clean daily.
The Appropriation Bill for the current biennium for Texas is the best in the history, Wlth
substantial improvement in the two most critical areas Teaching Salaries Only and General Operating Expense. While there has been much improvement, it it still necessary to compete with out-ofstate schools for faculty members and nine bright young faculty memben\ with the Ph.D. were lost to out-of-state schools last spring at salaries from 1.200 to $1,750 more than Texas Tech could pay . While Texas bas been taking strong strides, other states have not been standing idle. At this time, it is not known how near the gap has been closed. The information being accumulated from other· states by The Commission will be very useful in its studies and those of the Legislative Budget Board, Executive Budget Office, the Legislature and the various institutions.
Not all areas of the appropriation for Texas Tech are as good as teaching salaries only and Departmental Operating Expense. Some of the other areas are actually in a pinch However, progress is being made in an enlightened, positive manner and it bodes well for Texas Tech and all institutions of higher education in Texas in the

A great deal of work will be required on the part of all, but it will be well worth the effort as there is no greater reward than the education of the youth of the State.
The University of Houston will become a state-supported institution in the next biennium and it is estimated that $12,000,000 will be required during the two-year period. In addition, some $8,000,000 to $10,000,000 will be required for the (Con tlnued on page 20)

Editors Note: Infonnation for this article was supplied by Dr. Wayland Bennett, professor and head of the Agricultural Economics Department at Tech. A Tech ex himself, Dr. Bennett spent two months In Nigeria a111d other parts of Africa this summer.
Helping extend an American hand of friendship to three West African nations this summer, a Texas Tech professor found heartening signs that western ways are holding true in at least three emerging nations of the dark continent despite communist attempts at inroads into Africa.
"We found all three nations leaning favorably toward t h e west," Dr. J . Wayland Bennett says of the three-Lib eria, Nigeria and Sierra Leone, all on the west coast of Africa.
"Communism doesn't have a foothold there," the Tech agricultural expert points out. "If we can help them grow and develop , they will stay in the western framework of nations."
Nigeria has recently been in the news in connection with the postcard written by a Peace Corps worker there and reported demonstrations against the Corps by a group of Nigerian students.
A T e ch ex and now head of the agricultural economics department, Dr. Bennett was part of a team of four agricultural experts who spent three weeks this summer on a trip to the countries.
Purpose of the trip was to begin development of a program for use of feed grains from the U.S. to
improve production of livestock and poultry.
People in the three countries have an unbalanced diet lacking in animal proteins, due to the small amount of livestock and poultry production, according to Dr. Bennett.
An eye-opening experience for the four-man team came in Nigeria, where two native youths raised by an A m e r i c a n missionary woman had turned a dream into reality.
Found in the jungles by the missionary and taught since early childhood the ways of the western world, the two boys have carved a yo uth camp out of the wilderness and are on western beliefs taught them to some 50 African youths, most of them less than 14 years old
One of the boys had dreamed some years earlier of such a camp and , after the two had attended Prairie View A&M in Texas, they returned to Nigeria and began building it.
"They reflect the same spirit as the American west,'' Dr. Bennett says. "They've built this camp with their hands ."
Dr. Bennett tells how they built a makeshift chicken brooder with
kerosene lamps, burlap and tin. The youths have also constructed dormitories and other buildings in the camp.
Work is voluntarily donated to the camp by native men in the area, also grateful to the ary woman-who now lives at the camp--and her help to them.
"I would like to see them five years from now," Dr. Bennett says. "They are intelligent, working and enterprising."
Their objective, he says, is to provide an education for native youths who otherwise would not obtain it.
Speaking of the people in all three nations , Dr. Bennett says, "They are firm capitalists every Negro woman is a trader "
"There is no favorable attitude toward collectivism," he says , "and an increasing number each year pay the income tax."
The feed grains program, Dr Bennett points out, is not a gift to the countries but instead a long term loan program to help the tions develop their own economyattempting, he says, to "give them the spark to grow."
While people in the three tions are not going hungry, Dr. Bennett says, they are on a sub-
Dr. Wayland Bennetters often must pay 200 to 300 per cent interest on loans.
Yet the people of the three small nations do want to grow and develop, Dr. Bennett stresses. Just as they are concerned with improving their education, they also want to improve their poultry production.
The Tech agriculturalist says there is a definite start toward economic development in all three nations- not only in agriculture but in other areas, such as mining and rubber production.
Foreign capital, from the U.S., Britain and Europe, is being used in the countries and Firestone has planted some 90,000 acres of rubber trees. The governments are working toward building roads, schools and strengthening the economies.
The study of the feed grain sup- · plies to the three nations is similar to programs undertaken several years ago to Italy, Greece and other European nations.sistence level of having just enough food to live on.
The people have little meat in their diets and their food intake is very high in carbohydrates and very low in proteins, he says.
"They're just getting started in these nations in growing poultry," he points out.
Dr. Bennett stresses the strong interest in education among the people in the three nations, typified by the two African boys and their Nigerian youth camp. ,
"We visited one school where there were five teachers and 300 students," he recounts, "and there were some 200 adults enrolled at night.
''Their governments realize the basic problem is lack of education."
Education in Africa "pays off in dollars and cents," he stresses, since those who can read and write can get jobs in the towns and in what industry there is.
Also, in the African system, husbands buy their wives and an educated woman brings a higher price, he says.
Basically all of the farm work in the three nations is done by hand, with few large plantations.
"On the farms they don't try to produce a surplus, they try to figure out how much their family needs."
In respect to poultry, they can't expand their output any appreciable extent until they can get a continuous feed supply, Dr. Bennett says.
The present feed supply is erratic, since it must be ordered from the states, England or Denmark and ships may often be late.
There are no eleva tor facilities for storing grains now, Dr. Bennett says, although there are port facilities for production goods. The high rainfall also presents problems in handling bulk grain. Inland transportation is limited, as there are few paved roads and market facilities as we know them are almost non-existent.
Dual problems are the lack of education and lack of capital, Dr. Bennett pointed out. Small farm-
The project is a joint undertaking of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Foreign Agricultural Service and the U.S. Feed Grains Council.
In addition to Dr. Bennett, the team was composed of John J. McCracken, a marketing specialist of the Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C.; Dr. John Milligan, manager, Broiler and Roaster Research Division, Ralston Purina Co.; and Taylor A. Cisco, president of the American Liberian Development Corporation of Monrovia, Liberia.
Nigerian Grain MarketKeeping in step with progress in a host of fields is a continuing goal of Texas Tech's academic department and a good indication of the College's efforts is found in the school 's "production" of mechanical engineers.
Re: in August a Tech coed received a degree in mechanical engineering the first to do so at Tech . . . workers in the department's spotless laboratories are now called umechanitions " $750 ,000 of equipment fills the new lab building constructed last year, ranging from large tooling machines to small instruments which measure accuracy to tens of thousands of an inch ... students now don laboratory clothes in special locker rooms before beginning lab work .. . huge filtering machines clean and cool air taken into the structure through the roof undergraduates now receive specialized training on the departmenfs new Analog computer
Thus are the indications that the department as part of Tech's School of Engineering is attempting to "match strides" with mushrooming engineering progress.
"We think the boy graduating today is appreciably better qualified than the boy who graduated 20 years ago," points out L. J. Powers, head of the department.
And the recent coed graduate "indicates the change in engineering over the years," Powers stresses .
.. Engineering is just as suitable for a woman as a man today," he says. "Most engineering takes place in design rooms and offices now."
"Field work, while still important, is not the major portion of engineering work today," Powers says.
Reflecting the growth in engineering, the department now has . some 400 undergraduate majors
.,The good student today probably has six or seven job offers," Powers says. This is the student in the upper 15 per cent of his class scholastically and refers only to job offers from companies actually coming on campus to interview prospective graduates
E ven the graduate who barely made it" will have at least one or two job offers, Powers says.
"Fifteen years ago very few companies in engineering did any recruiting," he recalls . Prior to World War II, engineering graduates were hired more as laborers than engineers , Powers says, but after the war the picture changed completely.
From the end of the war until about 1955, there was "a tremendous demand for engineering graduates of any degree of competence," he says.
For several years after 1955 the total demand decresed, although graduate engineers were still getting jobs without difficulty. Only the best students were getting much choice of jobs. however.
In the past several years , Powers says the picture has again grown more favorable.
Partly due to the fluctuating job picture, the department has steadily been increasing its level of requirements, Powers points out.
uwe felt we had to turn out better students ," he stresses .
The department's new facilities north of the East Engineering Building reflect the efforts toward turning out bett er qualified students.
The structure, almost de void of windows, is divided generally into two parts mechanical equipment laboratories and metal processing labs.
"To keep our equipment oper-
ating and clean takes three · full time men who do nothing but maintain equipment, keep it clean and build new equipment,'' Powers says.
Among the equipment is a scalesized, but complete air conditioning system where students learn · to heat, cool, dry and moisten the air.
.. As far as we know very few schools have this sort of thing," Powers says.
An electrodynamic vibration table is used to test vibrations in one laboratory room and in another soundproofed laboratory an automobile engine is put through its paces b y undergraduates. Due to the engine's exhaust being funneled out the roof, it is louder outside the building than in the room itself.
The Analog computer is used to solve problems in dynamics and control systems and is used for undergraduate courses.
The department now has six full-time faculty members, two part-time (one as assistan t dean of engineering, the other as college engineer) and three graduate teaching fellows.
The Public He a lth Servi ce has awarded an $8,560 grant t o Texas Tech to continue basic studies on the biology of medically import ant mites
The studies were initiated two years a go and are intended to a total of fiv e years. Research IS being supervised by Dr. Russell W Strandtmann Tech biology pro-, fesso r

Mrs. E. A. Hankins died in Lubbock recently after an illness of several months. Mrs. Hankins _was one of 10 children of the Wyatt A. Hall family, a pioneer West Texas farm family. She became a school teacher at 16 and two years later was employed by the Gorman post office. Five years later she married E. A. Hankins and both attended Texas Tech. For the past 30 years they taught in Texas, New Mexico and Arkansas before retiring to farming interests.
Services for J. B. Hamilton were held early in September at McKinney, Texas. Mr. Hamilton graduated from Tech in 1928. Employed by Sun Oil Co. as a roustabout in 1930, he became a production foreman in 1935, and in 1945 was named assistant production superintendent for the Dallas area. He later served as district superintendent at Delhi, La., and then at Midland. In 1953 he was transferred to Denver.
Services were held earlier this month for Miss Shirley May Jones, San Antonio, who died in a San Antonio hospital after an illness of two weeks. She had attended Tech for two years after leaving high school.
Mrs. Robert H. Tiernan, the former Marion Turner, daughter of Lubbock pioneers, the late Mr. and Mrs. John F. Turner, died at her home in New York recently following an illness of 22 months. Mrs. Tiernan was a graduate of Lubbock High School and had earned a BS degree in Home Ec at Tech in 1942. Miss Margaret Turner, woman's editor of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal is a sister of Mrs. Tiernan's.
Harrold Kiter, Tech graduate, died at his home in .Austin on October 12. A Wichita Falls resident, Mr. Kiter had attended public schools there before graduating from Tech.
Funeral services for Carl Maxey, widely known Lubbock construction company president were held recently in Lubbock. Mr. Maxey was head of the Car1 E.

Biggest chore facing Basketball Coach Gene Gibson is replacing Tom Patty.
Last year the 6-5 sophomore from Carlsbad, N.M., was an outstanding defensive player and the key to the Red Raiders' fast break. He missed by a credit hour being eligible this year but will return to action next season.
Bobby Gindorf, 6-4, of Pampa, the Raiders' sixth man last year, is obviously the strongest contender for Patty's starting berth, but Sid Wall, a 6-3 soph from Dallas' South Oak Cliff, is making a strong bid, too. Wall was a good defensive player with the Picadors.
Here's the way the Raider roster reads:
Two-year lettermen---6-4 Roger Hennig of Mathis, 6-3 Mac Percival of Vernon, and 5-10 Del Ray Mounts of Perryton, all seniors.
One-year lettermen---6-10 Harold Hudgens of Ballinger, a senior; Gindorf, 6-5 Milton Mickey of Lockney, 6-5 Gilbert Varnell of Sewanee, Tenn., juniors.
Sophomores-Wall, 6-3 Mike Farley of Lubbock, 6-2 Royal Furgeson of Lubbock, 5-9 Mike Gooden of Lubbock Monterey, and 6-2 Guy Davis of Levelland.
Charlie Lynch, a three-year letterman with the Red Raiders, who graduated in 1959, is the new freshman coach Lynch, a native of Sudan, served in the Army following graduation, then won a graduate fellowship in Business Administration at Texas Tech last year.
Lynch also served as assistant freshman coach last year while completing all of his work except part of his thesis on a master's degree.
Here's the main contenders for the Picador squad: 6-5 Joe Carroll Fox of Gainesville, 6-1 John C. McManus of Fort Knox, Ky., 6-3 Charles Bradley of Albuquerque, N .M., 6-9 Mac Cade of Hamlin, 5-10 James Lyles of Balmorhea, 5-10 Max Lynch of Sudan (yes, Charlie's brother), 6-1 Ronnie Siler of Dallas Highland Park, 6-2 Bob Smith of Sudan, Tom Claiborne of
Slaton, 5-11 Robert Layne of Ida. lou, 6-2 John David Loftin of Tulia, 5-10 Albie Pierce of Midland, John Walling of Waurika, Okla., 6·1 Royce Woolard of Midland, and 6·5 Glen Hallum of Brownwood.
With a heavy season ticket sale under way at Texas Tech, the best bet for a newcomer to get a good seat in the Coliseum (ALL the seats in the Coliseum are good, but a majority of folks seem to like to sit nearer the center line and farther from any one basket) is to attend the Holiday Doubleheaders, December 28 and 29.

The scene is familiar to anyone who has gone to college.
The students are sitting around a table in the Union. They're gathered in the hall after classes or in the living room of the fraternity house.
And they are talking, talking, talking.
The discussion grows hotter. What is God? Is it in the nature of man to be good? Can virtue be taught? How? What is the difference between communism and democracy? Is knowledge the sole end of education?
Remember those "bull sessions"? Challenged and excited by the encounter with new ideas, we · stretched our minds in college as never before. Most of us enjoyed the experience and will never forget it.
After leaving college, the opportunity to engage in exciting critical conversation about basic problems may never come again. We are busy making money, raising a family. We get too busy with the mechanics of living to continue learning. We forget too easily that learning is the central purpose of life
But, through the Great Books Foundation, a non-profit educational organization, hundreds of alumni are returning each year to that central purpose of their lives. They are joining the Great Books discussion program to further their liberal education.
Today there are n1ore thari 50,000 persons in the Great Books program Of these, 84 per cent attended college; 23 per cent have a bachelor's degree. More than onethird, 37 per cent, have credit for graduate work; five per cent have Ph.D.'s.
These are the participants who meet every two weeks for two hours to talk about the ideas in books. They are asked to thmk for themselves, to question, to analyse, to probe and to answer. They exchange ideas and opinions around a table in an informal atmosphere of mutual inquiry. In the usual sense there are no teachers. Yet, in another sense , the books themselves are the teachers and
the participant is both teacher and student in the give-and-take of the conversation.
Provocative questions by two leaders awaken the participant's ra tiona! processes and stir him to critical thinking.
The Great Books idea was conceived by John Erskine when at the close of the First World War he was teaching veterans at a French university In the 1920's he transplanted the concept to Columbia University where one of his students was Mortimer J. Adler. In the 1930's, Robert M Hutchins, chancellor of the University of · Chicago, and Adler, then a professor there , started Great Books for students, later offering the discussion seminars to adults in the Chicago Public Library. Interest grew across the country, and the Foundation was organized in 1947.
With the help of thousands of volunteers, the Foundation trains discussion leaders, publishes the readings and promotional material and starts groups wherever interest is shown. Each year Foundation professional staff members give demonstration sessions of the discussions for meetings of alumni groups, clubs, schools and other c o m m u n i t y organizations. Arrangements for such a meeting may be made by writing the Foundation at 5 South Wabash Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. Free material explaining the program is also available. Groups can and do meet everywhere in homes, offices, clinics, libraries, board rooms, hospitals, schools, community centers, even in prisons. There are special Great Books programs for grade school and high school students.
The Great Books program is virtually unending. Though most groups are in their early reading years, some groups are in their seventeenth year of discussion. The books themselves are inexhaustible They offer far more than we can hope to encompass. It is the intellectual excitement of the task they set for us that draws more and more college people to the program and keeps them there Aristotle said that "all men by nature desire to know." The Great Books help us fulfill this nature.

Editor's Nots: This editorial about education for America's young leaders was authored by United States Secretary of Commerce Luther H. Hodges, former governor of North Carolina. Secretary Hodges was a successfullnesinessman and industrialist before giving up that career to enter public service. He was chairman of the Southern Regional Education Board in 19 57- 5 8.
James Madison once said that popular government without popular education is a prologue to a farce or tragedy.
The truth of his view is vividly illustrated in the modern world. A Democracy rests on the foundation of its people- educated in the national and international problems of their day and able to govern themselves.
As the life-source for the bodypolitic, education is even more essential for those who devote their lives to leadership of the Democracy through public service. Also, education ha·s become a vital instrument in national and international policy.
American leaders and public servants of this generation face a lifetime of constant, unrelenting challenge and change. This fact alone gives new responsibility to an educational system too often bound to old patterns and old traditions.
Until recently few Americans had heard of Krugersdorp, South Africa. Fewer know that one of the largest blast furnaces of the world is going in to operation there to produce tipped steel rods for . use m rmnes.
It may seem a long way away but Americans in many branches of government and international service must be concerned with this fact. They must know, (or example, how industrialization is ef-
fecting South Africa, how an in. dustrialized South Africa will effect world trade and American business, and what impact these changes may have on other continents.
To deal with national and interna tiona! problems of our times, American public servants must understand the ways of the world and the economic and social patterns of many civilizations
The universities and colleges of the South as well as of the entire nation today stand face to face with this challenge.
All over the globe economically underdeveloped nations are st ruggling with industrialization and growth. People in many areas of the world are striving in one way or another for their independence from old customs and old systems. The same struggle to some extent has shown itself in the traditions and of the old South. If we can handle these problems at home, we will be a little closer to understanding the problems of the underdeveloped corners of the world.
HodgesIf our colleges and universi ties can produce men and women to lead the South in facing the challenges of the times it faces now, (Continued on Page 19)

There may be other colleges, but nine-year-old Johnny Fouts doesn't recognize them.
Perhaps Tech's most ardent rooter, supporter and fan, Johnny refuses to ·go anywhere away from a radio when Tech is playing a football game, and when they lose, · he just sits and cries.
After watching Tech play A&M, the first time he had seen the Red Raiders play, he told his mother and dad : "Well, I am sorry Tech lost, but it was wonderful just to see them play."
The son of Mr. and Mrs. George Fouts of Haskell, the small but ardent Tech fan is ready to enroll in Tech right now as far as he is concerned, except for the little rna tter of public school.
According to Dr. Mitchell Smith, Henrietta, who met Johnny recently in Haskell "this little boy eats, sleeps, lives and breathes Tech. He really earns the title, "Tech ' s Smallest but Most Ardent Fan "
Johnny's father attended Tech 1937-40 and is in the dry goods business at Haskell. A brother, Bill Fouts, works in the Tech Bookstore.
Alumni of Southern colleges and universities contribute less than one-half as much per student to higher education than do alumni in other parts of the nation $39 instead of $81. Gifts from all donors net $83 less per student in the South than in the nation as a whole.
Utilization of time and concentration are main elements of study habits observed by James Ward of Gordon Hall, 16-year-old freshman in Texas Tech who completed his junior and senior work in high school in one year.
James, one of the few 16-yearold students in Texas Tech, is the son of James Franklin Ward, youngest studept ever to receive a master's degree from Texas Tech .
The father, now a medical doctor in Tacoma, Wash . , received his master's degree from Texas Tech in 1932 when he was 19.
The son finished high school two years ahead of schedule, having completed two years' work when in the fifth grade as well as last year. He cmnpleted high school in August with about a Bplus average in spite of his heavy schedule He is in four honor classes at Tech.
He found it helpful to develop a study "system" last year, while taking seven "solids" in high school and taking three college correspondence courses for high school credit.
First, he finds it important to utilize time not only long periods but short periods that become available during the day. It's easy "to let an hour go by" between classes, but the hour can be useful for study, he finds.
Second , he finds it important to concentrate "to put your whole mind on it.''
Another f a ctor involves pre paration for study rath e r than study itself. He f inds physical activity and recreat ion important.
"Sports help me to study better," he said. He works hard at swimming and also likes tennis. "I feel better physically, so I can work be tter mentally," he said
James finds other extra curricular activities enjoyable. Last year, he played in th e school orchestra at times even though he was taking so many cours e s h e was not allowed to enroll for orchestra.
James reached his 16th birthday in May He took two courses in summer school to complete work for his high school diploma .
UI worked so hard to get here and I plan to just have a normal
schedule while I am here," he said. He is taking seven courses for a total of 18 semester hours credit this semester, but expects to cut down on the number of courses in later semesters. One of his courses is a third-year Spanish course. He is a non-major this year and is thinking of majoring in rna thema tics.
James is the grandson of Mrs. J . E . Ward, 2413-A Broadway in Lubbock.
Other students frequently ask him why he came all the way from Tacoma, Wash., to attend Texas Tech.
He explains that he came because his father had attended Texas Tech. He also wanted to get his college education in this part of the country.
"i like the attitude of the people ," he said. "They are friendly and I like the way they go about tackling their problems."
He thinks the attitude of the people is different from that in any other section of the country. "
I'd say they are more determined to reach the goal they have set," he said. He isn't sure of the reasons, but thinks the difference is due at least partly to heritage.
James whose full name is James Franklin Ward Jr. attended private school in Victoria, Can., when he was in the fifth grade and completed sixth as well as fifth grade work.
His father finished high school at 15 and attended junior college at Wichita Falls two y ears , then came to Texas Tech and completed three years' college work in two years to receive his master's degree. The father later attended other schools , including Baylor University and Harvard Medical School. He is an ophthalmologist He majored in history when in Texas Tech.

Through Tech's first six football games the highest scorer hadn 't crossed the goal line. That was sophomore fullback H. L. Daniels of Marshall, whose two field goals and seven points-after had given him 14 points. Junior fullback Coolidge Hunt of Lubbock blasted across for his third touchdown and overtook Daniels, who promptly kicked his eighth consecutive PAT
Speaking of field goals, when Daniels kicked a 34-yarder in the final minute against Baylor, that marked the first time since 1940 that Tech had won a game via the field goal. E. J. McKnight booted one in the waning moments of the San Francisco game that year as Tech eked out a 23-21 victory. Tech's first points in collegiate play, incidentally, came on a field goal by Elson Archibald as the Matadors gained a 3-3 tie with Austin College in 1925.

THE
Tech's new $300,000 Agricultural Plant Sciences Bldg. which was dedicated recently. It has a floor area of 26,725 square feet and will house the agronomy, horticulture and park management departments.
Communication of ideas and specific principles are two problems that persons in engineeringscience and agricultural fields often face daily. A book, co-authored by three Texas Tech teachers of English, has been published to help overcome these problems.
Entitled "Technical Writing," the book was written by Grace P. Wellborn, assistant professor of English; Dr. Lola Beth Green, associate professor of English; and Dr. Kline A. Nail, professor of English. It was published by Houghton Mifflin Co.
Noting that leaders in science, business and industry are aware that "new ideas and new methods are worth nothing unless they are communicated,'' the authors stress that like chemistry, animal husbandry or rna the rna tics, technical writing is a professional tool for engineers and scientists to use.
··we continually stress the point that technical writing is practical writing, that it succeeds or fails on the basis of how clear it is, how we II it conveys information to the particular reader, and how well it produces the action the writer wanted to produce," the Te eh teacher-authors said
The book is divided into two parts : "Principles and Techniques" and "Forms of Technical Communication." An appendix includes examples of letters, abstracts, reports, articles and speeches.
Each of 10 chapters originated with one of the three authors. Many of the letters of instruction are reproductions of letters actually used in industry.
The book is an expansion of an earlier lithographed publication by Mrs. Wellborn, Dr. Gre e n and Dr. N all. This was completely revised and expanded , with Dr Nail editing much of the final manuscript.
Mrs. Wellborn teaches the technical writing course for agricultural students, and Dr. Green teaches technical writing for engineers . Dr. Nail previously had taught the engineering technical writing course for a number of years. He is a m e mber of National Committee on English for technical and scientific students and was chairman of the workshop for technical writing at the Washington mee ting of the Conference on College Composition in April this year.

A piece of circular filter paper, a glass funnel and a Geiger counter are being used by a Texas Tech professor and one of his students to study the trend of radioactivity in Lubbock's atmosphere.
"We're not preparing to undertake an extensive program," explained Dr. B. J. Sandlin, associate _professor of physics at the college.
"In fact," he said, "this is a rather crude method, but we feel a daily routine will give us a reasonable chance of detecting any large increase in the occurence of radioactive particles."
Although it may not be totally conclusive, the expedment is timely in view of the news that a cloud of radioactive particles, created by Russian bomb tests in the Arctic, has been passing over the U.S.
Frank Perniciaro, a junior physics major from Fort Worth, and Dr. Sandlin got into a chat recently about the possibilities of arranging a device to "catch" fallout.
The professor pointed out that the Physics Department has a Geiger counter in the basement of the Science Building which could be employed.
The problem then was to devise something to absorb particles from the. air. Frank solved it by making a simple wire weather vane with a tail, and attaching the funnel to it.
The .white filter paper, the type used m laboratory experiments, was placed in the funnel. The is perched at an angle and the Wire structure keeps is facing the wind most of the time.
periods of about 24 hours, th!S appar·atus is placed in a safe spot outside the Science Building, then brought in for the radioactivity check.
Dr. Sandlin said the filter paper catches all particles that come along, such as dust. In the basement, Perniciaro places the funnel a metal holder and puts a thin-wall Geiger tube Inside it, next to the paper.
A connecting machine m::mitors, by flashing numbers, the number of ''ionizing events," or in laymen's terms, the radiation count.
So far, Dr. Sandlin said, the count has been at an average of about 40 per minute which is the normal background radiation. "By background, we mean the normal level of radiation which has been with us millions of years," he said.
"This experiment would have to be continued for several years before any statistical conclusions on background could be reached," he added. "but if the background radiation suddenly increased quite a bit, we would examine our findings more carefully."
Dr. Sandlin said he is certain the radioactivity recorded here recently is not coming from the detonation of any bomb. "If there was a large increase, we wouldn't be able to say whether or not it was harmful on the basis of this routine," he said.
Dr. Sandlin and Perniciaro are keeping a graphic record of their findings. "This data will have to be interpreted with great care over a long period of time," the professor said.
At least one other radiation detection device is checked regularly. This machine is at the U. S. Weather Bureau Station at Municipal Airport at Lubbock.
Harold Frost, meteorologist-incharge, said the device is checked at 10 a.m. each Wednesday,
and that no appreciable change in the radiation level here has noted recently by weathermen.
"We won't check it more frequently unless instructed to do so," Frost added.

they will have produced the men and women who can build understanding at home and among nations.
Already Southern universities have put new emphasis on training young people for public service in a time of national and international change.
Many offer courses abroad to introduce students first-hand to conditions in other parts of the world. Some are offering concentrated courses in government and political science with emphasis on critical languages, economics and sociology.
The times call for vigorous leadership on the part of political, business and educational leaders of the region. We are one Nation with common problems.
The South is in a unique position to produce leaders for today. We are a region with many talents which can be trained and used to the benefit of the nation and the entire world. I hope some of those will be trained for public service.

Adding the $1,740,843 estimated inconae from local sources to the appropriation of $5,592,690 from General Revenue, the total available for educational and general purposes for Texas Tech during the current year is $7,333,533. Of the amount, $4,728,225 is budgeted directly for Resident Instruction Only, 64 5% of the funds available.
The above general information sets the stage for the overall picture of Texas Tech and Higher Education but perhaps some information pertaining solely to Texas Tech would be of interest and provide an insight into the operation of a rather large and complex institution of higher learning, in fact the second largest state school.
There were nine major building projects placed into service on the campus last year, at a total cost of $4,730,714. The projects were the Stadium Addition, Agricultural Plant Sciences Building, Chemical Engineering Building, Agronomy and Horticulture Farm Buildings, Meats Laboratory, ArchitectureComputer Building, Women's Gym, Mechanical Engineering Shops and Physical Plant Facilities and Tech Press.
There are five major projects under construction, all of which will be completed within the next several months at a total cost of $3,885,325. The projects are the Library, Stuudent Union Addition, Science Addition, Dairy Facilities, and Animal and Poultry Facilities.
The Library is the most outstanding and is designed for maximum student use with the very best of lighting, air conditioning, open stacks and means to keep the Library open for long periods of time in keeping with student demand.
The next building project is a new residence hall for women. A contract was let at the meeting of the Board of Directors N ovember 3, for a building to house 806 women. The estimated cost is 3% million dollars. The building is to be located to the west of Boston Ave. at Nineteenth and completion is scheduled for September 1, 1963.
The population at Texas Tech is larger than that of many towns in Texas. The daytime population is approximately 12,220 and the nighttime population is 4,500. The
college provides more services for its citizens than the towns.
There are 70,020 individual pieces of equipment valued at $6,046,041 recorded on the inventory. The pieces range from an electron microscope to a 60c was surplus chair.
The purchasing office issued 10,760 purchase orders, an increase of six per cent over the preceding year, for purchases ranging from a nuclear engineering analyzer computer for $13,440 to twelve feet of sash chain for 72c.
The telephone bill this year will be at least $95,400. As more service is needed, it is logical to assume that the telephone bill will continue to increase steadily.
The mimeograph service used 3,194,500 sheets of mimeograph paper during 1960-61, enough to cover 47.6 acres. The Texas Tech Press alone used approximately 153,675 pounds of paper or the equivalent of 30,000 reams of 8% x 11. Also, the Press printed 682,000 envelopes weighing 8,766 pounds. The amounts do not include the paper used in other places on the campus.
The Building Maintenance and Utilities Department handled 7,517 individual work orders last year, installed 21,703 light bulbs and fluorescent tubes, repaired 942 locks and 320 door closers and made 1,966 new keys.
The utilities used for 1960-61 were as follows:
1. Gas $ 54,546.53 287,087,000 C.F.
2. Water 48,981.98 220,436,000 gals.
3. Electricity 122,743.68 13,495,396 KWH
Total ... .... ... ......... .. ......... $226,272.19
There was an increase in consumption from the prior year of 10,234,000 C.F. of gas; 26,470,000 gallons of water; and 4,944,175 KWH of electricity.
The gas used would serve the needs of 3,083 average families in Lubbock for one year, and a single gas well would have to be very good to produce the amount used.
The water would supply the needs of 1,502 average families in Lubbock for one full year; or would be sufficient to float 16 aircraft carriers, such as the Saratoga or Forrestal, which are the largest warships afloat.
The electricity used would be enough for the rieeds of 3,749 average families in Lubbock for one year, or keep 14,802 lamp bulbs of
100-watt size burning day and night for one full year.
Texas Tech could not possibly exist in its present size if it were not for the residence halls. Lubi bock is a relatively young toWn and has never constructed the large two and three-story roomin g and boarding houses that sorne older towns have. As a result, the College has had to supply most of the housing for the students.
The 13 residence halls at Texas Tech are valued at an original cost of $12,964,808.73 as of ust 31, 1961, and have capacity for 4,4447 students. Attrition in the halls last year was far better than it has been, perhaps, in all of his-:tory. It amounted to only 10.8% last year against 18.7% the prior year and 26.3% the year prior to that.
The totai operating budget for the residence halls for 1961-62 is $2,508,302. Of the amount, $825,890 is budgeted for raw food.
The estimated requirement for meat during the current fiscal year is 1,125,000 pounds, the equivalent, of a herd of 1125 steers each weighing 1,000 pounds. ·
The estimated total food to be purchased this year is 8,544,897 pounds which would require a freight train with 170 average size cars to haul it.
There were 134,696 gallons of milk and 9,116 gallons of ice cream used last year. For the first time, the residents were allowed an . -limited amount of milk and it added approximately 50,000 gallons. A dairy herd of some 283 cows would be required to provide the needs of the halls.
The 22 full-time dietitians, 152 kitchen employees, and 76 parttime students will serve as estimated 3,375,000 meals this year.
All in all, just about everything is looking up at Texas Tech these days . The good, healthy growth continues; the legislative is improving each year, the physical plant growth is keeping pace pretty well with the needs; the· morale of the students, faculty and staff has never been better and is steadily improving; the dents are more serious and domg better academic work than ever; and the canapus is humming with serious although good natured, ac-: tivity. it looks as if big things bound to happen this year and m the years ahead as Texas continues the climb to carve Its niche in history.
