Texas Techsan October/November 1980

When this issue appears we will be well into the 1980 football season. My feeling is that under our new president, Dr. Larry Cavazos, we have entered an era of stability in all areas of the University-academics and ath letics alike, and I feel this will enhance our drive toward Texas T echcellence .

Elsewhere in this issue is more evidence of Texas Tech ex-students in responsible positions vital to Texas. Our recent recognition of four more distinguished alumni documents the excellent preparation Tech gives us all for our professional careers. The most difficult part of this annual selection is picking from the numerous deserving nominees. All of us should continue to bring outstanding alumni to the attention of the se lection committee which enjoys the challenge.

Also reported in this issue are the forthcoming Century Club dinner and Homecoming. David Carr is preparing an exciting and entertaining evening for Century Club members and it is not too late to join!

Please note the numerous chapter meetings held this summer , some in joint sponsorship with the Red Raider Club and many attended by Dr. Cavazos.

And finally , we present a photo feature on our Tech band which makes such a great impression in representing Tech. This is just one more element of Texas Tech University of which we can all be proud as part of our Tech heritage.

Let us all extend our support let us all index our giving to our professional growth and achievements.

As the song goes, "there'll be some changes made " when you start making plans to attend Homecoming Eve activities Nov. 14. To start, pack your best pair of dancing shoes and some casual clothes-our old formal dance is OUT.

In a move to make the dance more in time with the times, it was decided to change from the combo sound of the past to the absolute best country and western dance band in Texas -the Maines Brothers.

Having recorded two albums, their latest is " Route 1 Acuff," featuring the hit songs "Amarillo Highway, " " Shelly's Winter Love" and "Ain't Nobody Lonely." The group has been compared to the Larry Gatlin Band in sound and professes to playing "versatile country" -traditional western, progressive country and even an occasional Top 40 song.

One of the real attractions of the group, besides the sound, is the honest enthusiasm the young men have for their music. It is difficult to sit and listen to the albums or a live performance and not find yourself smil· ing and moving your feet to the rhythm

Based in Lubbock, members of the group have had national experience playing in Reno, Nev., and Las Vegas clubs as well as backing up top recording artists.

The brothers, three of which have played together professionally for 15 years, range in age from 22 to 29. Natives of Acuff , Texas , they now make their homebase Lubbock.

Lloyd Maines, a master of the steel guitar, is a former member of the Joe Ely Band . Other brothers are Kenny and Steve , who provide vocals and play rhythm guitar; and Donny on drums.

Joining the Maines Brothers to complete the group are Randy and Jerry Brownlow, harmony , vocals,

piano and bass guitar; and Richard Bowden, the animated fiddle player .

Together , the seven young men make a sound you won't soon forget. If you doubt that we have put together the dance to top all dances, get hold of one of their albums and see for yourself.

Then contact the Ex-S tu dents Office and order your tickets at $3 each for the Homecoming Dance at Vann's KoKo Palace , 5201 Avenue Q in Lubbock Open to Tech exes, friends, guests and whoever enjoys a good dance, the music starts about 9 p.m. Don't miss it. (Tickets will also be available at the door.)

For members of the Te ch Century Club, that same evening will feature the annual Century Club dinner. Highlighting the program will be Tech's own Women's Swing Choir under t he direction of Professor William Hartwell.

The Swing Choir is an outstanding group of two dozen gals from all areas of the campus who p erfor m popular music-with choreography to the accompaniment of a four-piece combo.

The rhythm section of the Swing Choir has Dolores Martinez at the piano, Mike Robberson on bass, Tom Walter as guitarist and John Fulto n on percussion.

A bass-baritone who has soloed in cantatas, oratorios and musical comedy, Hartwell has also sung in more than 50 opera presentations and c reated roles in three different world premiers, one of which rece ive d the Peabody Award and was written for television.

He has conducted c hora l concerts throughout the U.S. , Canada and Europe.

Tickets to the Century Club dinner are $7.50 each with reservations. It begins with a 5:45 reception in the UC Courtyard, with dinner at 6:30p.m.

If you are not a member of the Century Club, it's not too late to join. Send a $100 contribution to the Texas Tech Loyalty Fund and then make your reservation to attend this year's Cen tu ry Club dinner.

I t is commonly said around Lubbock that if one can maintain his dignity after being featured in one of Dirk West's unmerciful editorial cartoons, then still manage to laugh at himself after a Bob Nash-Red Raider Club noon meeting introduction, he has passed his ini tia tion.

"We say what the people are thinking," said Nash, a 20-year veteran of the Red Raider Club Thursday no on dias. " And everyone is fair game!"

The luncheon is a prime featu re of me mbership in the Red Raider Club, an organization which raises

athletic scholarships for Texas Tech. Members of the Te ch coaching staff guest speak each week about the previous or upcoming game or whatever football subject is running in West's sports cartoon!

Bu t whatever the topic, "roasting" the guest is the name of the game.

"I enjoy listening to the coaches," one member said. "But what I really look forward to is hearing Bob Nash handle the program. I tell you, you never kno.w what he's going to come up with next."

"One Christmas, we had Santa Claus come in to the Red Raider Club luncheon and give out gifts to Coach JT King . One was the book, Fundamentals of Football, and another was a set of keys to a Cadillac-just the keys. 'You'll have to buy the car yourself.' " (Bob Nash)

For instance, one Thursday a few seasons ago, Nash walked into the room carrying a football. He turne d to JT King, who was not enjoying a ve ry successful year, and held up the ball. " Let's get back to funda-

mentals, Coach," he said. "This is a football."

Nash also arranged for the c hief of police to e nter and h a nd c uff the surprised King and ar rest him for impersonating a coac h!

" Nearl y all of the speakers have been great about our introductions ," Nash said. H e recalled that Jim Carlin ha d the most difficult y h an dling the "roasts, " and Steve Sloan was the best at turning them back around .

" Steve had a qui c k wit ," Nas h said. " I could rarely get one over on him without h avi ng to hea r him get in the last word on me ."

A fter a particularly gruelling intro du cti o n of Sloan by N ash, the coac h t ook th e microphone a nd sa id , " N ow I know how th e Philas tines felt aft er being wo r ked ove r with the jawbone of an ass."

Mo r e recently a fte r Tech's vi c torious opening game thi s season, Nash brought head football coac h Rex Do cke r y to the po dium wi th " T ec h is e njo ying it s best r ecord in a long time under Coach Dockery-one win ."

Th e 400 plus loc al membe rs who rel igiously a tt en d the $4 per plate lunch eac h week ar e the backbone of a to tal membership o f nearly 3,000 stat ewide.

These staunch Re d Raid er supporters co n tribut e a n average $180

eac h towar d football, basketball and other sports scho la rships , according to executive director Leete J ackson.

" The Red Raider Club has one basic purpose, and tha t is to raise m o ney for at hl e tic scholarships," he said "Everything we raise goes toward he lpin g T ec h to be as stro ng an athletic sc h oo l as it can be. And we're up aga ins t so me strong co mp etition ."

He noted t ha t SMU's Mus tang Club raised $1.2 million last year for at hl e ti c scholarships.

Gene Ald e rson of Lubb ock, Re d Raider Club president, a d de d that "we need to get not on ly more money, but more interes t in orde r to be a first -class sports schooL" Besides providing s cholarships , he pointed out th at th e Red Raider Club he lps with summer jobs for athletes and a ls o in recru iting.

" W e don't act ua ll y find th em jobs, bu t we le t it be known to our members that su mmer jobs a re needed for Tech athletes It plays a n impo r tant part in the recruitin g end "

Currently, a scholarship runs abo ut $2,400, Ja c kso n said. That covers o n e athlete's room , board, books , t uition and fees fo r one year

" E ve ry year, the scholarship amount goes up because of ris ing tu it ion an d fees," he explai ned "When I started, a schola rship was $6 75 a year! "

"Being int e rim director has sure changed my li{e. In fact, I've learned four things : Don' t kick an opening kickoff back toUT; don't tell the crowd not to boo if they want to; don 't say you're going to return to your a lma mater; a nd le arn to say Lub bO c k!" (J o hn Conley)

Most of the club's money comes from co ntribut ions res ult ing from personal contact by field dire cto r Brian Hall , based in Dallas, or by members. Solici tation letters are also mailed out to prospec tive members.

Ho wever, one club had a ve ry effective money making idea, Jackson said.

" Eac h summer we have meetings around the West Texas area. This particular one was in Plainview .

" The members went around to lo ca l business peo ple and asked for about 20 donations for an auction to ben efit Tech athletic scholarships. Then they asked me to bring something different."

Ja c kson said h e took Gabriel Rivera 's game jersey and four

being to r a ise money, " Jackson sa id .

Ea ch Apr il, the Red Raide r Club also sponsors T ech's All Sports B an qu et, atte nd ed annually by some 1,500 members and guests. Golf tourn ame n ts are another club sponsored activity eac h summer.

Donors r eceive (in addition to the " pri vilege" of attend ing the Thursday n oon luncheons) members hip p la q ues, wi nd ow decals, me dia guides fo r foo t ba ll and bas ketball and t he " Red Raider Rampage," a newsletter published each m ont h by the a thl etic department.

tickets to this year's bout against North Carol ina

" The town o f Petersburg got to bidding against Plainview for that jersey, and before you knew it, they had raised $1 ,400 on that item alone, " Jackson said.

The meeting was a c ombined Red Raide r Club and Ex Students Association get -together. One of th e participants was Association executive director Bill Dean , who, with a little help from Ja ckso n , was high bidder on $100 worth of grass killer!

" All our meetings are in the spirit of fun-with the overlying goal

Coach AI Groh (left) has a laugh on his bass, Rex Dockery.

" Once I found an old book of matches t ha t had t he 1975 football schedule printed on it. I took it to the meeting and pre sented it to Steve Sloan , saying ' You can use these to burn some of the plays in your playbook. ' " (Bob Nash )

"Scholarship donors (those who give at least $1,500) receive a spe cial plaque and parking passes for football games and basketball games, if they have basketball tickets, of course," Jackson said.

They also participate in a scholarship go lf tournament each summer and attend a scholarship brunch during football season.

The club's inner core consists of a group of 48 board members who, as Alderson said, "are a working board. We don't just expect them to raise money, we require it."

Each board member is assigned a minimum of 12 prospects to call on. These can be individuals or firms. No minimum contribution is asked, "but we try to get each donor to give at least $100," Alderson said.

Some members of the Red Raider Club are not even Tech graduates. And this is one thing Jackson and Alderson said they are quite proud of.

"In the town of Abernathy alone, we have nine members of the Red Raider Club who graduated from Texas A&M," Jackson said. "Don't get me wrong-when we play

A&M, they're going to be for A&M, as it should be. But they're for Tech the other 10 games.

The club's premise is, if people are making their living in this part of Texas, they probably follow Red Raider sporting events

"In a lot of cases, Tech grads or not, that's the way it is, and we're real pleased that about 44 percent of our membership did not attend Texas Tech," Jackson said "That speaks h ig hly for the spirit that is a part of Tech . People who aren't even associated with the campus are happy to support it."

The Red Raider Club is currently awarding the maximum number of scholarships the NCAA will allow.

"All that we raise goes on the scholarships," Alderson emphasized. "But to be on the same plateau as other schools in the conference, we'll need an increasing base of support to keep up with the rising cost of scholarships."

Contributors may specify the sport they want their money to benefit, but not an individua l ath lete, Jackson said.

"All our money is collected then turned over to the Tech Foundation. Names are submitted to the scholarship committee by the athletic department."

All donations to the Red Raider Club are 100 percent tax deductible and may be sent to Jackson at the Red Raider Club office, 624 Lubbock National Bank Building, or to A lderson at 1210 19th Street, Lub bock. lTJ

"JT had won one game-even West Texas State had beat us. I was even getting embarassed tearing him up so bad week ·after week! But he was an awfully good sport about it." (Bob Nash)

TEXAS TECH IN RETROSPECT

By David Murrah, University Archivist

TECH'S FIRST RED RAIDER

On January 1, 1954, Tech student Joe Kirk Fulton, wearing levis, red shirt, red and black cape and black hat , mount ed a black horse and led the Texas Tech football team onto the field at the New Year's Day Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, F la. Fulton ' s ride marked the beginning of one of T ech's mos t colorful tradit ions-the mounted , masked Red Ra ider

The Atlanta Constitution described Fulton as a " cowboy in a red cape on a c harger" and noted that the event was " typi cally Texas." The dramatic entry of the team e lectrified the crowd as well as the football team. The Red Raid ers rolled to an impressive 35-13 v ictory over Auburn. The decisive win bolstered T ec h's hope for admittance into the Southwest Conference, a dream realized in 1956

Fulton, now c hairman of the board of Lubbo ck's Plains Nat ional Bank , credits T ec h football coach DeWitt Wea ver with the idea of the mounted mascot.

" He wanted a masked rider ," Fulton said " He called me, visited with me about the idea, and asked me if I thought it would work."

An expert hors ema n , Fulton readily agreed to the plan and, followi ng the Gator Bowl game, served two years as t he Tech mas cot.

Although fa n reac tion to the rider was favorab le, Fu lton said t here were some negative comments

"A few coa ches, back when I was riding, said they reall y didn't like the horse on thei r football field."

During its 25 year history , the mascot has gradually c hanged from Wea ve r's initial co n ce pt of a masked cowboy to that of a mounted matador Ironically, Tech ath letic teams were called the Matadors unti l the 1930's when a sports writer popularized the name Red Raiders

S ince Fulton' s initial ride , 17 Tech students, including two women, have served as the Red Raider.

The sign is gone and the doors are locked. Peering inside , all one sees is a dark, dingy, strange old building.

What used to be a warm, friendly meeting place for thousands of people since it first opened, is now nothing more than a memory Broadway Drugs has closed its doors and moved , bringing an end to a Tech tradition of long-standing.

For decades since the mid 30s, the drugstore on the corner of Broadway and University (formerly College Avenue) has been a landmark for Tech students, business people, laborers and professors.

Known by such names as Mark Halsey's Drug Store No. 2 in the first years, it later became Batye Drugs in the early 1950s. Dubbed "Broadway Drugs" about 1954, the attraction has always been the same . The soda fountain.

"At one time, there were five drugstores in the University area," said Broadway Drugs co-owner R. A. Carson "Now they're all out of business except us ."

Although the store will not shut down totally, it is moving to a new location across the street on the southeast corner of Broadwaydue to financial reasons, Carson pointed out.

However, the soda fountain will not be a part of the new premises.

"Soda fountains are going out ," Carson observed "The fountain hadn't been making any money, but it was always a good drawing card."

In its heyday, the drugstore opened on Sundays and stayed open nightly until 10 p.m. Five or six waitresses were kept busy during the day and night handling the soda fountain business

Reminisc ing abo ut their days at Tech , former students recalled "the Av enue" as a group of juke box dance places up and down College across from campus where stu dents spent endless hours sipping cokes, dancing, drinking coffee and eating sweet rolls, playing pinball machines and having "bull sessions ." And the drugstore on Col lege and Broadway was right in the middle of it all.

Farewell

By Sylvia Teague , Avalanche Journal staff and Ma rsha Gustafson , Te chsan editor

It was a favorite place to go between classes in the 1940s, then drugstores began giving way in the '50s to drive-in restaurants such as the Hi De Ho, particularly for the Tech students. A resurgence of popularity has occurred since the 1960s , especia ll y for Broadway Drugs

"I will miss very definitely the fast traffic the fountain drew in the summer and winter," Carson said, although he added that fountain business had suffered because of fast-food restaurants .

The pharmacist, who operates the store with twin brother R. 0 ., bought the drugstore in 1961. The new location , which faces out on their old store, is modern in appearance and should be much more functional and energy efficient, according to a third brother, Irvin.

"The ceilings are 15 feet high in the old building, and all the windows have been removed or closed

in by a previous owner," he said R A Carson added that "You'd have to get a helicopter to get up there to change a light fixture ."

Part of the charm of the old Broadway Drugs was the unusual design of the building

The exterior is English Tudor , and the inside, which was r emo deled in 1966 by Mrs . Miriam Green, wife of a former owner of the property , resembled an old Eng lish tav ern.

Som e of Mrs. Green's personal touches included massive beams and heavy panels on the balcony, a specially designed formal English Chippendale chandelier in bronze hanging in the center of the ceiling, and on the left wall massive bronze English tavern lamps .

The right wall was covered with aut hent ic English royal coat-of-arms hanging over a weathered shingle roof which accented the perfume bar .

A 300 year old wooden bronzed gold lantern, which once hung in a

royal palace , hung over the stair way, and a century-old rosewood English table with black marble sat below it.

Carson said Mrs Green spent $90 ,000 on the remodeling and "everything she did was what I d idn't want."

But all that is past now. The sleek , new quarters were those of a former clothing store much more in the style of a drugstore, but containing a lot less "personality," the brothers admit.

"It will take some getting use to for our customers, but we've made a lot of friends over the years."

Gone are the days when drug store regulars simply helped them selves to coffee or soft drinks, then left the money on the counter. If they didn't have the money , they just c harged it.

The small town drugstore atmosphere coupled with the historic soda foundatin made Broadway Drugs a landmark in its own time and the last of a bygone era. IIJ

Always popular in exhibits at the Museum are garments from the collection of historical costumes and textiles.

From dream to reality

Th e Museum of Texas Tech Unive rsity is unusual because of its threefold mission in public service, education and research It is unique because of its outdoor exhibits-th e 100-year old Moss-Goodman Gin and the 12acre Ranching Heritage Center

Although it receives state support, the Museum has grown largely through private gifts. Many of the exhibits it offers are made possible by contributions made through the West Texas Museum and the Ranching Heritage Associations.

The Museum Association is emphasizing membership this month

These memberships cost as little as $15 a year and entitle card holders to a variety of advantages, such as discounts at T he Museum Shop and first notice of programs, tours and spec ial events. Plane· tarium shows are free to members as is admission to the Ranching Heritage Center.

Dr. Leslie C. Drew, museum director, said about 100,000 visited the Museum last year, including area public schoo l children who use the exhibits for learning. Tour guides are members of the institution's Docent/ Volunteer Guild .

Drew sees the Museum also serv ing "as a kind of flagship for other area museums."

It provides resources including consultants, workshops, seminars

and materials to smaller museums. It has the important educational function of training personnel through the unique museum science program.

Graduates of this master's degree program work for small and large museums from Te xas to Washington, D.C.

" This museum should and does provide a stimulus to local museums throughout the area," Drew said.

With the community of Lubbo ck, the Museum has had a strong interdependent relationship .

Through the West T exas Museum Association and the Ranching Heritage Association, residents contribute toward development and support In return, Drew said, the Museum provides special programs and exhibits designed to attract all age groups.

The Museum's importance to T exas Tech is seen in a variety of ways. Students use museum collections in their studies. And in the area of research, the museum is widely recognized for its work in mammology and for its Antarctic Collection, made possible through the research of the lat e Dr. E. Alton Wade.

Tech' s museum is also known for the unique Cordry collection of Mexican Indian costumes.

The West Texas Museum Asso-

of spurs.

ciation (WTMA ) has been suppor t ing t he Museum for 51 ye ars and has seen it grow from dream to reali ty, from a base ment in the Circle t o a series of major buildings on 4th St reet at Indiana Ave nue.

" Currently, the Association is suppor t ing the traveling exhibits at the Museu m , art acquisitions, new equipment fo r the Planetarium and the construction of a permanent galle ry for art, " said W inifred Vigness, executive secretary of the Museum Association

In addition , she added t hat the WTMA assists in staff support where state budget funding is not sufficient

" The Museum Association we lcomes the interest and support of all alumni and friends of Te xas Tech, " Mrs. Vigness said. [tJ

Wanted: historical clothing

You may have never thought that grandma's old corset and the suit you wore dancing to the jukebox with your young military man during leave from the war are tax deductible items with a high educational value.

But that is the case.

At Texas Tech , Dr. Lynne Richards , assistant professor of clothing and textiles in the College of Home Economics, is trying to put together what she terms "an educa· tiona] collection" of clothing from various early time frames.

Dr. Richards teaches a course in historical costume and said that c urrently, the only clothing that the students have available for in-class study are those garments she herself has bought and owns. "And that is a very limited collection ," she readily points out.

Specifying a time frame of "up to the 1940s," Dr. Richards is mainly concerned with collecting women 's clothing " Right now , all I have are a few dresses from the '20s and some separate bodices and skirts (that don't match) from the late 1800s, " she said.

The garments she would most like to have for the collection are daytime and evening dresses , shoes, hats , under garments, suits and sports clothes. " I don't have a complete outfit from prior to 1920," she added.

" We could use a wide variety of clothing items , but not a lot of any one item," she emphasized . Due to lim ited adequate storage space at this time, Dr. Richards said that men 's a nd children's clothing can only be accepted in situations of unusual interest or age.

The educational garment collec tion will be permanently housed in the Home Economics building in a room which is kept very cool and contains wooden cabinets. These , Dr. Richards explained, help main· tain a constant relative humidity, which enhances preservation of the clothing.

In the meantime , about 64 stu dents are enrolled in Dr. Richards' historical costume class They, plus the students in fashion design classes, would be utilizing the period garments.

" It would be a great educational aid, " she said , adding that each piece could be appraised by the donor before giving it to the school, then deducted on income taxes as an educational gift. " Even though this will not be a museum situation , because we will study and handle the garments, donor information will definitely be kept on each piece "

The department is not able to accept donations on a loan basis," Dr . Richards said . "We hope to make the collection a permanent part of the college, to stay here for students now and in the future to study ."

Dr. Richards added that she would like donated clothing to be in fairly good condition, considering the age, but that some cleaning and minor mending could be done by the department. If a proposed graduate course in text ile conservation receives approval , much more in the way of repairs can be handled.

"For those persons who own historic clothing which they would like preserved, the Department of Clo thing and Textiles has the knowl edge and facilities to foster that preservation," she said. "And through the contribution of gar ments to the collection, a donor would be helping students for years to come "

More w omen ent e ring 'men's fields ' at Tech

A survey of enrollment figure s during the past decade shows an increase in women attending Tech and majoring in fie lds pre viously reserved for men

According to enrollment figures compiled by the Office of Statistics and Reports on Tech students in the various colleges, the percentage of women in the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Agricult ure, Business and Engineering increased, while the percentage of women in the Colleges of Education and Home Eco nomi cs decreased from 1%9 to 1979

The Nat ional Center for Education Statis tics last year repo rte d that women account for 50.7 percent of college st udents nation wide. The report was based on t he actual enrollment at one-third of the nation's col leges and universities. The figure represented the first time in history women made up a majority of Ame ri can college s tudents

Between 1969 and 1979 , the proportion of women undergraduate students at Tech increased 3.5 percent . Women made up 40 .6 percent of the 17, 095 undergraduates in 1969. In 1979 , 44.1 pe rcent of the 19,690 undergraduat es were women .

The larges t c hange during the last decade was in the number of underg raduat e women enrolled in tt·.e College of Business Administration. The percentage of women in the college has increased 18 percent. In 1979, 36 percent of the business majors at Tech were women.

The second highes t increase in women enrollment was a 14 percent inc rea se in the College of Agricultural Sciences. Women now co mpose 19 percent of the total college enrollment.

The College of Enginee ring shows a 7 percent increase in the number of women enrolled. Women make up 8 percent of the enrollment.

The Coll eges of Agri c ultur e, Arts and Sciences, Business Administration and Engineering have s hown increases in th e percentages of women in graduate schoo l.

The Tech Law School experienced an increase in women enrollment during the 10 year span The percentage o f women law students ro se from 8.6 percent to 24.2 percent.

New

electrical engineering

annex ready for occupancy this fall semester

After two years of waiting, the e lectrical engineering depa rtment a t Tech will begin moving into its new building this fall

The $2 million annex, located behind the old Electrical Engineering Building, will pro vide additional resear c h capab ilities and 33,000 addi tiona l sq ua re feet of floor space.

"The new fa cility was a gle am in the eyes of many faculty members for several years," said Marion Hagler, professo r of elec trical engineering.

The large open rooms with numerous outlets for water, gas and electricity will enable experimenters to use the fa cility in a number of ways.

"The design grew out of our fru s tration with the old building Flexibility is th e main theme and unique feature of the new building," Hagle r said.

The new building wi ll house fa cilities for high voltage-pulsed powe r, laser-quantum

electronics , plasma, integrated circuits, radio science and optical systems. A special power carrying 400,000 watt s of electricity will run into the building.

One lab in the b uilding is expected to help Tech maintain leade r s hip in the research of pulsed power a nd switching The pulsed power labora tory occu pies a portion of two floors.

"To my knowledge there is no other uni versity in the nat io n that has a lab like ours capable of storing, switching and transm it ting high energy," said Travi s Simpson, pro ject administrator.

Spark gap technology is used in the devel opment of s uch th ing s as power supplies for radars, lasers and the control of nuclear energy fusion. During the past year, the elec trical engineering department at Tech has received three-quarters of a million dollars from the Air Force to conduct research in th is area.

Harrell House shown on Christmas ornament

The Harrell House from Scurry County will be featured on the 1980 Christmas tree col· lector's decoration offered by Cogdell's General Store at Tech's Ranching Heritage Center.

The la rge white ba ll is th e third in the Christmas series, each featuring a different structure familiar to visi tors at the Ran ching Her itage Center The sepia picture of the structure appears on the glazed ball surface.

Earlier Christmas balls featured the Mas· terson JY Bunkhouse and the Jowell House

The Harrell H ouse is t he house that "grew," serving three ranching families in an era that began with the free range and ended with barbed wire fences separating the cowmen a nd farmers.

It began as a tiny, one·room, rock struc· l ure. Before the turn of the century, a box· and-strip section was added. Before 1917 a second box-and-strip wing was added. This is the front section of the T -shaped house.

The Christmas decorations are sold to col· lectors or visitors wit h the proceeds going to the Ranching Heritage Association, a non· profit public organization which supports the center.

Dads vote to support Visiting Prof project

T exas Tech Dads Association officers, committee chairmen and other leaders gave their endorsement to the organization's second majo r long-term project in its 25-year history.

The decision to implement its Visi ting Pro· lessor Project came at the mid-summer meeting attended by some 40 leaders of t he association.

The new project will be implemented just as the first major project ($253,000 in endowed funds to provide 50 scholarships a year) is completed. The Endowment for Scholarship campaign is scheduled to be concluded Feb 28, 1981.

T he new project calls for distinguished vis· iting professors from across the nation to lecture and meet with Tech students and fa c ulty.

Initially, visiting professors will be in Lub· bock fo r about a week. As the project endowment grows, the program will be expanded to include as many as a dozen vis· iting professors, some of whom could stay as long as a year.

This second major project will begin as soon as funds are available. About $3,000 is needed to begin the project, according to Dean James G. Allen, executive di rector of the Dad's Association.

New secretary program implemented this fall

A new program in secretarial administration designed to meet the need for skilled secre· taries, executive secretaries and executive assistants was implemented this fall at Tec h

The College of Business Administration is moving to meet that critical need, said Dolores Kilchenstein, professor of secretarial administration

She ci tes statistics showing that "every year at least 20 percent of the secretarial pos itio ns available remain unfilled By the mid-1980s a critical shortfall of 250,000 to 300,000 secretaries is predicted."

The executive secretary or assistant is one of the two career fields most secure, or recession-proof, during periods of business recession , she said.

Kilchenstein said that exceptionally quali·

lied secretarial and office administration per· sonnel can earn professional disti nct io n by passing th e Certified Professional Secretary (CPS) examinatio n Texas Tech is an approved CPS examination site for adminis· tering the Nationa l Secretaries Association· sponsored and approved test.

Students entering the new program may earn a bachelor's degree in business admin· istration and prepare for the CPS examina· tion at the same time.

The comprehensive two-day six-part CPS exam includes sect ions on behavioral science in business, business law, economics and management, accounting, secretarial skills and decis ion-making, and office proce· dures and administration.

New programs app ro ved by c oo rdinat ing board

Three new degree programs at Texas Tech were approved by the Coordinating Board, Texas Colleges and University System, at its July meeting.

Approved were master's and bachelor's degrees in computer science and a bache· lor's degree in lands cape architecture.

Both degree programs in compute r science will be interdisciplinary in nature, combining existing faculty and courses in three departments: mathemat ics, sytems and electrical e ngineering. The com puter science program will be administratively ho used in the Department of Electrical Engineering

The Master of Science Degree in compu· ter science will prepare graduates for careers in computing centers, software development, and with manufacturers of computers or computer-based machinery. The bachelor's degree will require that students take 21 hours of required courses on the fundamen· tals of computer science plus 24 hours of comp uter science electives.

The Bachelo r of Science Degree in land· sca pe arc hite c ture will be offered through the Department of Park Administration and Landscape Architecture . The new program does not involve any change of courses or curriculum, but it does provide its graduates with a degree name that better describes the field of study.

Landsca pe architecture graduates have been receiving bachelor's degrees in agricul· ture with a park administration major

Tec h is firs t sc hool in t he s t ate t o g a in nursing accredit a t ion

The Tech School of Medi ci ne has become the first institu tion in Texas to gain accred· itation of a Continuing Nursing Education program .

Accreditation was awarded by the Western Regional Accrediting Committee of the Ameri c an Nurses' Association. Tech's Con· tinuing Nursing Education (CNE) program was accredited for four years, the maximum period grante d before r eview by the com mittee.

The CNE program at the medical school is advised by a committee composed of nurses from various fields and levels of practice, health ca re administrators, physicians and healt h consumers

The CNE program will offer a number of courses this fall, including a series of courses on basic asse ssme nt sk ills, nursing manage· ment and teaching.

Dads a w ard present ed for t each ing e xce llence

Dr. David K. Northington is this year ' s recip ient of th e Texas Tec h Dads As sociation's Spencer A Wells Faculty Award for teach· ing excelle nce.

Northington, an associate profe ssor of bio· logical sciences, received his award, which in eluded a $1,000 check, at the Dads Associa· tion Membership Luncheon on Dads Day, Sept. 27 The award is made possible by a grant from the Hemphill·Wells Foundation.

Northington has been at Tech since 1971 and is active in various campus-wide and community activities. He is faculty sponsor of the Saddle Tramps and the pompon squad

Northington was nominated by Omicron Delta Kappa as " Man of the Year " at Texas Tech in 1977 and received the Texas Tech Junior Panhellenic Association Award as one of the 15 outstanding faculty members for 1972

Criteria for selection include addition to the University's teaching program and "the effects of the nominee's contribution should evidence itself in the strengthening, en hanc· ing , extending and vitalizing in any of the areas in which the University demonstrates its interest in the student's growth academi· cally or personally."

Mass Comm scholarship to honor late editqr

A new mass communications scholarship has been established at Tech in honor of the late Harry Montgomery, editor of Tech's first student newspaper, The Toreador .

A $10,000 gift was presented to the department o f mass commu nications by Mason Walsh, publisher of The Ari zona Republic and The Phoenix Gazette. Mon t· gome ry se rved 24 years as the associate publisher for the two newspapers

Billy Ross, c hairman of mass co mm, said the scholarship will probably be disbursed as two $500 scholarships each year. The money will go to a junior or senior mass communi· cations major. Criteria for r eceiving the gift will be based on scholarship and need.

Raider panties a popular item

By Melinda Terry UD Staff Wr iter

The panties are right there on page 217 of P layboy maga zine's special "Girls of the Southwest Conference" September issue.

Lettered across the model's shapely derriere are the words "I'm Behind the Hogs."

Not to be outdone, Tech's own booksto re now offe r s "I'm Behind the Red Raid e rs" panties.

The panty originals are found in th e soft goods and gifts section of the bookstore supply department. But gift possibilit ies do not "e nd" there. The double T symbol and Raider Red never had so much reco gnit ion.

Prices for thes e souvenir items range from 25 ce nts for decals to $30.50 for jacke ts.

Although Playboy's publicity may have increased the popularity of the custom Raider panties , they are not the most requested item.

"T-shirts are our best sellers," salesclerk Doris Lowrey said.

New this year at the bookstore are the "brutal bandanas". The bandanas are based on the co ncept of the Pittsburg Steelers' " terrib le towels." Red Raider suspenders are also newcomers.

In the meantime, Christmas is on ly thre e months away. Let's see. Red dominos for Dad. A black Tech ashtray for Jim . Sue would like that r e d and black Tech umbrella .

DEFENSE!

Sports

By Kelly Robinson Student Asst., Sports Information

When one hears the chants of "D EFENSE, DEFENSE" at Texas Tech games this fall, Red Ra ider fans are likely to see just that defense .

Tech has a standing reputation for having a stubborn and stingy defense , which year in and year out, is at the top of the Southwest Conference totals. In 1980, there is an even better c han ce that the defense could be better than eve r. And under the watchful eye of new defensive coordinator Jim Bates, it should be.

"We are using the same front defensively that we have the past two seasons," Bates said of the Raiders ' offset SO alignment. "It takes a dominating noseguard for it to be effective. We are also using some fronts that we haven't used in the past. "

Lining up a defense with a domi· nating noseguard is not an impossible feat for Texas Tech coaches especially with the presence of Gabriel Rivera Big Gabe, alias

Senor Sack, is down to 6-3 , 280 for this season and is an imposing fig ur e to opposing offensive lines H e is flanked by Jim Verden and Jamie Giles , who at 6 3, 255 and 6 0, 260, are no slouches at their positions either.

The Raiders' front line played a major role in Tech's season opening win over the University of Texas at El Paso when they allowed the Miners only 176 total years in the Raid ers' 35 7 victory. UTEP managed only 103 yards rushing and 73 yards passing against the Raiders' stingy " Black Shirts."

"The strongest aspect of our defense (who wear blac k jerseys during practice) is probably our front five which includes the three linemen and two outside line backers," Bates said. " I think our players have experie nce and physi cal ability at those positions , plus we also have good depth in these areas "

"The biggest question on our defense going into the season was the play of our inside linebackers and cornerbacks. The players at these positions are young and only

DEFENSE!

experience will solve our problems t here."

Probably the position that attracts the most attention is the cor nerback slot that co nverted quar terback Jim Har t is playing.

"Jim is a good ath lete and he is re a lly doing well at his new posit ion ," Bates added. " I really expect great things from him ."

Pre-season experts have predicted that the 1980 defense will absorb added pressure because of an unproven offense, but Bates disagrees and claims that the Tech offense has improved and should keep the defense on the sidelines more than last season.

"Ou r defense will be a good one· . The linebacker and cornerback positions wilt improve as the season progresses," Bates concluded.

"All of our men are working hard and there is no question our defensive personnel have the ability . We feel that these young guys along with the experienced players will give us an excellent defensive team to work with. We fully expect to be the hardest hitting team in the Southwest Conference."

He's got High Hopes

By Alfred White Assistant Sports Information Director

' Runnin' Red Raider basketball " sprints into the 1980-81 season next month as T exas Tech meets Athletes in Action in an exhibition game at the Lubbo ck Municipal Coliseum Thursday, Nov. 13 at 7:30 p.m

The regular season starts Friday, Nov. 28 when the Raiders host East Central Oklahoma State in a 7:30 p.m. tipoff.

With what has been termed a "highly successfu l" recruiting effort, head coach Gerald Myers enters the 1980-81 campaign with an air of optimism and expectancy .

Myers feels he plugged such vital holes as rebounding and playmak ing through the recruiting trails. With the return of eight lettermen, including three starters and one red shi rt , the Red Raiders shou ld vastly improve on last season's 1613 record.

"We helped ourselves in the rebounding department through the junior college route, and we might have gotten the best high school point guard anywhere in Bubba Jennings," Myers said.

The Raiders' strengths for the coming season should be shooting and overall expe r ience . Tech finished 23rd in the nation last year in field goal percentge with a 51.8 per cent performance.

With the return of deadeyes jun ior guard Jeff Taylor , senior center Ralph Brewster and senior forward Ben Hill, once again Tech should be able to find the basket with good consistency.

Taylor, a two year starter , earned the reputation as a complete player last year and appears ready to strongly contend for All SWC honors. The 6-4 leaper led the team in scoring with a 13.4 average, paced the squad with 26 steals and blocked a team high 25 shots

He was named second team AllTournament at the Post Season

SWC Tourney in San Antonio last spring and may not have his equal defensively in SWC circles next year. He is a better than average shooter, hitting 52.3 percent from the field and 78.9 percent from the charity line, plus he was second on the team in dunks with 19.

Ralph Brewster at 6-8 would be more of a natural at forward, but two years of starting experience combined with quickness and jumping ability should make "Brew" a threat inside

The last two years, Brewster has led the team in rebounding and has reached double figures in scoring. Last season, he hit 54.1 percent from the field and led the team in g dunks with 33. f

Ben Hill at 6 6 should compli ment Brewster on the boards, and Myers is expecting him to put together another great shooting percentage.

Hill shot 59 percent from the field last season, second best in the school's history. His 61 percent effort his sophomore season is the best ever at Texas Tech.

The bench has good experience with the return of senior 6-8 center Leslie Nichols, senior 5 10 guard Dwight Williams and junior ·6-1 guard Steve Smith. Sophomores Nelson Franse, a 6-2 guard, and Joe Washington, a 6-6 forward, round out the Raider reserves.

Newcomers include 6 6, 220pound junior transfer Clarence Swannegan, JUCO transfer for ward-center Ricky Guy wh o stands in at 6 8 and weighs 210 pounds and Jennings, a 5 10 guard from Clovis, N.M. All three ar e e xpected to help immediately.

Jennings was named a schoolboy All American by Basketball Weekly and was Mr. Everything in New Mexico last season. H e averaged 33.8 points a game hitting 61 percent from the field and 87 percent from the fr ee throw line, along with handing out 5 .7 assists per game.

"Bubba is an all around point guard," Myers said. " He's not only

a great offensive player but also a tremendous ball-handler and passer. He'll give us a new dimension on our team next year ."

Swannegan will add bulk to the Raiders inside game, and Myers says he is cut from Texas A&M's Rynn Wright 's mold.

He averaged 14 points per game and 9.6 rebounds on a Tyler JC team that was 32 7 last year and finished third in the junior college national tournament.

Guy played two years at Grayson County JC in Dennison and averaged 23 po ints and 10 rebounds per game his sophomore season.

"Ricky is a good perimeter shooter as well as a strong rebounder, " Myers continued. "I look at Guy as a mobile centerforward type who is capable of go ing outside as well as inside."

" With the return of most of our guys from last year along with our new people coming in, we should have an interesting year ," Myers said. ITl

Green monster succumbs

By Jeff Rembert UD Staff Writer

Thunderstorms and high winds rarely leave pleasant memories behind, but in the aftermath of a summer storm that struck Lubboc k , the Tech baseball program could be on the upswing.

Winds of more than 70 mph battered the Tech stadium's outfield fence, including the Tech version of the "green monster," and tore off the roof of the dugout along the first base line .

The situation looked bleak for the T echsans, who just completed one of the school's most successful seasons in several years.

The storm that could have dampened the baseball program , may have turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Tech Head Coach Kal Segrist said the baseball field will be comp letely renovated so the pro gram will be able to compete with such powerhouses as Texas, Arkansas and A&M.

The first phase of renovation will be the proper grading. The second step will be to replace the innerfencing in foul territory, the outfield fences and the dugouts.

The final phase will be the building of stands.

Segrist and assistants , Jimmy Shankle and Dave Schrantz, led the

Raiders to a 28 23 season and the Raiders' first berth to a Southwest Conference Post Season Baseball Tournament at College Station in May.

T ech finished third in the tourney by knocking off host Texas A&M in the second round. Texas won t h e round-robin affair and Arkansas finished second.

Tech lost eight players to graduation last season, including the entire starting rotation Mark Johnston, Steve Ibarguen, Jamie Miller and Gil Goulding will not return. Ibarguen signed a professional contract with the New York Mets organization during the summer.

First baseman Craig Noonan and shortstop Brooks Wallace also have graduated. Wallace was drafted and signed by the Texas Rangers in June. Outfielders Larry Selby and Mike Farmer also are gone

Third baseman Jimmy Jones, a junior transfer, probably will not return to the squad this season because of personal reasons .

Newcomers include two junior college transfers and . a Lubbock high school product.

David Carroll, a right-handed pitcher from Panola and Andy Dawson, a shortstop from Waco will try to fill the vacancies. Segrist says Carroll is a power pitcher and Dawson is a lead off hitter with good speed and quickness

Kent Potts, a Lubbock Monterey recruit, will try to he lp the Raiders at first base and on the mound. !T

A reception for all former Tech football players who were coached by JT King will be held at the University-City Club, 2601 19th St., immediately following the Tech vs. Houston game, Nov. 22.

It's a football playerIt's a basketball playerIt's a Super Raider!

By Alfred White Assistant Sports Information Dire ctor

If there is any truth to the adage that "only the strong survive," Texas Tech can be assured of be ing one of the mos t competitive opponents for any team in th e nation, regardless of the s po rt.

Just ask strength coac h Ru ss Polhemus. " In a little over a year, Tech has developed some of the strongest athletes in the na tion ," says Polhemus, who jo ined the T ec h athletic staff in April19 79.

" At Te x as Tech , everyth ing ne cess a ry for th e best st r eng th program in the country is present. We have the adm in is trati o n, we hav e the coaches and above all , we hav e the ath letes who h ave th e desir e to le arn and try new id eas to improve th e ir bodies."

It has been only rece n tly th at col· leges, uni vers it ies an d professio nal fran c hi ses have put such a great e mphasi s on body building and strength.

"A lot of schools and a thleti c organizations ha ven't realized what a good strength progr am can do," Polhe mus observed

" Strength programs ha ve exis t ed a long tim e, but just in pockets . Shot put , dis c us and jave lin coache s had been h elp ing at hl etes but had not begun to touch o n what mos t co nside r an e ffective st r ength program

" Now a ne w bre e d of coaches who are o p e n to new methods of t raining are giving st re ngth pro · grams the o pportunity t o do t he type of things that improve athletes' performances in all sports. Athletic departments everywhere are becoming mor e aware of t he total fitness a stre ngth program can provide ."

When Polhemus arrived a t Tech, he greeted a group of athle tes which he termed " about average

is 605. physically with mos t college athletes ar ound the Unit ed States." But now after mor e than a year of P o lhem us ' s tr e ngth progr a m , vast improvements ca n be noticed.

Fo r ins ta n ce, Polhemus has 14 players who a r e bench pressing over 400 po unds. His " Mr . HeMan" is so p homo r e Matt H a rl ien of Corp u s Christi who lifts 555 pounds. Polhemus points out th e world record for Harlie n' s 275pound weight class is 605.

" Our tota l body st re n gth has improved 34-35 percent ," he a dde d "This is exceptional progress Th e difference was noticed as soon as last fall We kno c ked dow n people that we usually didn't, and we ran fast er than we usuall y d id. And this yea r , the impro ve ment is eve n bet t er. It will make the differen ce in so m e close games for us."

Red Raid e r footba ll is probably the fir s t place Tech's new stre ngth progra m was noticed, but Polhem us declares that every s port the

Raid e rs participate in will show a gradual improvement in its upc om· ing seasons.

Bas ket b all p layers will be able to grab more rebou nds and e nhanc e t heir shooting skills. Swimmers will be able to push the water away faster and golfers will be able to improve the strength in th eir hands.

The steadily improving Tech women' s golf team s t arted its fourth season under Mea dowbrook Mun ic ipal Golf Course pro Jay McClure.

Before McClure, the women's team was floundering . But the Tech ex, who once guided the men 's team to its only SWC champions hip back in 1961, has helped lower the scores of the women golfers

"When y ou get players at this level, there' s not m uch you can teach them me chanically or physically. You just have to refine what they'v e got , and teach them how to read golf courses and to play within themsel ves," McClure said.

At this particular time of year, night begins nearly before the afternoon has ended. It's a time of low moaning winds that mingle with the falling leaves and temperatures to cause an occasional shiver and a chill through the body.

Imagine for a moment being a cowboy long ago when electric lights and automobiles were yet to be a part of his life. Imagine the utter darkness, pierced only by the light from the fu ll moon over the prairie or caprock. Familiar objects appeared ghostly, moving beside strange and grotesque shadows.

This was a time when nights were long and stor ies were told around campfires to while away t he hour s. The West had its share of tales, some based on fact, but most stretched upon retell ing . Some were merely superst itions , and others were stories that had been heard as children from cowboy ancestors. But who was to know fact from fantasy?

As the Northeast has its Headless Horseman, the Deep South has its Vanderbilt Man, and the Missis sippi River Midwest tells of the eerie Piasa Bird. But the West has long known the tale of the Ghost Riders in the sky.

The story goes that an old cowpoke was riding one dark and windy day when he stopped to rest on a ridge. All at once he saw in the sky above him a ghostly herd of red -eyed cows, plowing through that ragged sky and up a cloudy draw.

As he looked closer, he saw that their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel. A ch ill went through him as he suddenly felt their hot breath.

But what was even more terrifying was the ghostly apparition that appeared to fo llow the cow herd.

Ghost riders-cowboys much like himself, only weary, sweating spectres. As he sat frozen in fear, he heard one call h is name. "If you want to save you sou l from hell , then cowboy change your ways tbday or with us you will ride trying to chase t he De vil's he rd across t his endless sky."

Through the ages, the tale has been told. And it is said that more than once , o n a cloudy and windy day, a lone cowboy has returned to his bunkhouse an awe d and c hanged man
