Bryan man receives 20-year sentence in mail fraud scheme

By Marsha Gustafson

R

obert P. Hicks, 32, of Bryan, Texas, (see Texas Techsan, May-June 1983 issue, inside front cover) was found guilty June 3, 1983, of 13 counts of mail fraud and has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Calling it "one of the most ingenious, well thought-out schemes" he had ever encountered, Federal Judge Robert Hill of Fort Worth passed down the sentence, imposed the maximum fine allowed by law, $13,000, and ordered Hicks to reimburse the government $12,003.41, which was the cost to bring witnesses for the trial.

Testimony during the week-long trial from school officials indicated Hicks had told Bishop College of Dallas and the Texas Tech Ex-Students Association he had obtained contributions to the scholarship funds from employees and retired employees of some 12 companies whose educational foundations matched contributions made by their employees to educational institutions.

This caused the officials at each school to mail matching gift applications to the foundations, who then mailed contribution checks to Bishop College and Texas Tech. Both schools had agreed to loan the money Hicks raised back to him, with the scholarship funds receiving the interest on these loans, as well as the principle at a later date.

People named in the matching gift applications testified that they did not make the contributions which Hicks reported to the school officials.

After deliberating only 45 minutes, the jury found Hicks guilty of using the mail to defraud numerous companies and their educational foundations out of several hundred thousand dollars.

During sentencing July 1, 1983, Judge Hill said the impact this case has had on the matching grant program has been dramatic. He added that Hicks' scheme has had a detrimental effect on educational institutions that rely on donations made from non-ex-students.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Cheryl Wattley of Dallas explained that as a result of this investigation, several foundations have changed their matching gift policies so contributions to be matched have to be made by alumni or former students of the institutions which will receive the gifts.

"Many smaller schools, such as Bishop College, receive a significant amount of money from gifts made to them by contributors who did not attend their school," she said.

After stating to Hicks that the evidence in this case was "overwhelming," that not only did it show guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, it showed guilt beyond all doubt, Judge Hill ordered the U.S. Marshal to take custody of Hicks and for him to immediately start serving his sentence.

An example to us ALL

By Jim Douglass

T

exas Tech is fortunate to have many active and avid supporters- people who left Tech physically, but never really left it at all. One such person is Karolyn Spafford Lively '64.

A letter I received recently helped point out this fact. Both Karolyn's dedication to the University and to her chapter are noteworthy and might serve as an example for others involved in ex·student activities.

Dear Jim, As you know, Karolyn Lively is usually on top of things.

However, this year she forgot to tell Dicky Grigg or me to be certain to have her gift as outgoing president of our local

Past president of the Austin Chapter Joe Crawford (left) presents Karo lyn Spafford Lively with a plaque named in her honor, as Dicky Grigg relents the fact that he didn't get a plaque, too.

chapter (Austin) ready in time for our spring banquet on May 14. At any rate, it wasn't ready in time for the meeting.

To make up for that oversight, Dicky and I took Karolyn to Jorge's Downtown Enchilada Bar recently and presented her with the first of what is to become an annual award to be given by the Austin chapter of the Tech ex-students. I enclose a photograph of that auspicious occasion.

As you can see, Dicky had attempted suicide just before this picture was taken as a result of his disappointment in not getting any type of award himself!

The large plaque Karolyn is holding is the "Karolyn Lively Tech Spirit Award," and the engraved plate reads: "An honor to be bestowed annually upon the person whose interests and efforts in support of Texas Tech bring esteem to our University. Named in honor of Karolyn Lively, whose love and devotion to Texas Tech are an example to us all. Presented in grateful appreciation by Texas Tech Austin alumni, May 14, 1983."

The double T plaque she's holding notes that the first annual Karolyn Lively Tech Spirit Award was awarded to none other than Karolyn Lively. In future years, at eac h spring banquet, we intend to present a double-T plaque to the person in the Austin area who has done the most for Tech during the past 12 months.

Yours very truly, Jose ph V. Crawford Austin, Texas

&/SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 1983

Home Away From Home Although its doors opened in 1925, Texas Tech did not provide on-campus housing at that time.

Rather, students who came to Lub· bock to attend school lodged in rented rooms in approved homes or in privately owned boarding houses, such as Cheri Casa and the College Inn, both located east of campus.

Such housing sufficed until1934 when the College, with funds from the Public Works Administration, constructed two on-campus dormitories, providing room for 640 students.

Initially called Men's Dormitory #1 and Women's Dormitory #2, these facilities, built along the Broadway Avenue entrance to campus, were officially designated West Hall (men's, for board of directors member James M. West) and Doak Hall (women's, for Dean of Women Mary W. Doak) in 1941 by the Tech board of directors.

West Hall is no longer used as a residence; it has recently been reno· vated to provide office space for student-oriented academic services.

Doak Hall, although it continues to house a few students, primarily serves as headquarters for the Housing Office.

Residence halls at Texas Tech have changed dramatically since the 1930s.

Today, over 7,000 students are housed in 20 halls, including three twelve-story high rises known collectively as the Wiggins Complex.

Although the first dorms provided the basics, as noted in this 1934 leaflet, the halls now include study rooms, separate lounges for visiting and TV viewing, vending machines and kitchenettes, and coin-operated laundry facilities; nine have air-conditioning.

Perhaps the comment made by a resident in Tech's first dorm could apply more appropriately to today's facilities: "Why, man alive ... the only thing missing in this place is butler l!l service . . . "

"Just like stepping into a swanky hotel," exclaimed a student after the first dorms opened in 1934. Men's Dormitory #1, now West Hall, provided a home for 320 men.

Gaston Hall, which opened as a dorm in 1961, now provides apartment-like facilities for upperclass women students.

LETTERS He's come a long way, baby!

To the Editor: I must congratulate you on the Techsan.

You've turned it around, and it's looking so good! I especially liked the Overton area story. I'm glad to see some hard news about Tech.

As a journalist myself, I know how readers take efforts for granted, so I just wanted to let you know that your endeavors are greatly appreciated by the readers of The Texas T echsan.

I'm indebted to Tech for all it gave me. I try and recruit more quality students for the University everywhere I go. I guess I learned to appreciate a good education during my last two years of school-it was hard being on the brink of poverty and still trying to go to school. Boy, am I glad those days are over!

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help with academic recruiting efforts. I'm an avid believer in the excellence of Texas Tech and the people who helped me obtain an education.

Sincerely, Chino Chapa '82 Stamford, Texas

Guns Up!-From whence it came To the Editor: The attached letter is being sent to you for the Techsan magazine. It might be interesting for people to see where o ne of Tech's traditions got its start.

Cliff Zschiesche '78 Houston, Texas Jan. 5, 1971 To The Saddle Tramps: After having lived in Austin for almost two months now, I have seen the "Hook 'Em Horns" sign so many times that I'm weary of it. This weariness has, however, given me an idea which I should like to submit to you for your consideration-at the risk of being labeled "copy cats."

I propose that Texas Tech have a "Hook 'Em Horns" type sign of our own.

Reasons for: 1. Distinctive.

2. Exes (and students) could recognize each other.

3. Provide an unspoken comeback to exes of other SWC schools.

4. The "pistol" sign is entirely compatible with the Red Raider image.

5. Provide a useful vehicle with which to "bear our banners."

6. Could serve to give notice that we do not cringe each time the "Eyes of Texas" is played.

7. Could be Texas Tech's "salute" during the playing of The "Matador Song."

This idea came to me about two weeks ago and I wrote it off as too much of an imitation of the "Hook 'Em Horns" sign. It might be an imitation, but it has continued to haunt me, and the more I think about it, the more I like it. Consider the idea and see if it has the same effect on you.

Somehow, it isn't difficult to envision the Tech cheerleaders, Saddle Tramps, the Goin' Band and the student body exhorting the Raiders to "Shoot 'Em Down" while displaying the "pistol" sign.

Sincerely, Glenn Dippel '61 Austin, Texas (Mr. Dippel now resides in Temple, Texas, where he is a certified public accountant.)

THE OlRER SIDE

Students look to betting as a way of putting excitement in their lives

I hope they make the spread .

By Mike McAllister

W

hen the word "betting" crops up in a conversation, certain images come to mind. Images of black-suited Mafia types ready to slip a pair of cement shoes on anybody who doesn't pay his debt. Images of poor ghetto kids running the numbers so their families don't starve. Even images of Paul Newman and Robert Redford putting the final "sting" on Robert Shaw!

The image of a clean cut, short haired, average college student doesn't seem to fit in. But student betting is an ever-growing problem in American universities.

At one SWC school, betting by students on football games has become a major predicament that frustrates educators, parents and even the student bettors themselves, who have become addicted to gambling or have lost so much money they can't afford to quit.

Some reports have it that students there have lost up to $20,000 a yearmoney that might either come from part-time jobs or unsuspecting parents who supply their children with an unlimited budget.

At Texas Tech, the problem is not as extensive, but betting is still evident on campus.

"Some people might drop a lot of money," said one ex-student who wished to remain anonymous. "But usually, it is more casual betting than real heavy stuff."

That casual betting most often comes in the form of picking football games against the point spread. Bettors will either pick the favored team and "give" or add the spread to the underdogs' final score or pick the underdogs and take the spread.

In other words, if Tech was predicted to beat Rice by 10 points, a bettor who

picks Rice wouldn't care so much if the Owls lose, as long as they didn't lose by 10 points or more.

As far as students go, football games seem to be both the most enjoyable and the easiest way to bet. No daily. racing forms or pure games of chance with which to fool. Football is most popular to watch and most popular to put money on.

And who does the betting? Simply, it's the people with the most money.

And heading the list of young J.D. Rockefellers are the fraternities.

"Fraternities just seem to be where most of the betting takes place," said one source. "It's easier to associate with people who know bookies, and most fratters have enough money to place bets-and enough money to lose bets."

The source said all Greeks do not bet-that mainly the betting comes from a clique that develops in the fraternities.

"It's not everybody in the fraternity, but just a few guys who do it regularly, and of course, students outside the Greek system get involved in betting, too."

Although police, especially in the city of the SWC university previously mentioned, would like to crack down on this form of gambling, it's almost impossible to detect betting unless there is something physical that happens, like a student being beaten up because he's behind on payments.

So why do students bet? Certainly not to get a fistful of knuckles, although the excitement element surely enhances the image of betting. But students who have a lot of time on their hands and those who are into socializing tend to drift into betting to add spice to their lives.

"We just got together one time and someone said, 'Hey, I know a bookie and he'll let us place some bets,' and everybody said, 'Neat,' and we do it," the student source said. "It's no big deal to begin with, but it grows on you."

Student betting: a problem or a slice of life?· It seems to be both-and it will continue to hamper students as long as there are bookies, football games and parents unsuspectingly bank-rolling l!l their kids.

SEPIEMBER.QCTOBER 1983/ 11

Star-studded weekend planned at Texas Tech

BY MARSHA GUSTAFSON

I

t will be a gala weekend when Noval/ Bucks Productions of Los Angeles comes to Lubbock, Texas.

What exactly is the production going to be, you may be wondering? A concert? A ballet?

Try celebrity tennis tournamentwith emphasis on the word "celebrity."

A first of this calibre of entertainment for the Hub City, and certainly for the University, the Texas Tech Celebrity Tennis Tournament will be held April 27, 28 and 29, 1984, at the Recreation Center. With proceeds designated for the University Foundation, a star· studded group of celebrities will combine their tennis-playing skills with the public's to benefit scholarships and endowments.

Because appearances at the tournament must be scheduled around the performers' professional obligations, the list of participants has not yet been finalized. However, players in previous Novai/Bucks tournaments have included the following: Jack Klugman, Gabe Kaplan, Janet Le igh, George Peppard, Carl and Rob Reiner, Wayne Roge rs, Dinah Shore, Robert Stack, Dick Van Patten, Cornel Wilde, Richard Roundtree, Jo Ann Pflug, Barbara McNair, Trini Lopez, Bill Cosby, Kirk Douglas, Captain & Tenille, Luci and Desi Jr. Arnaz, Lloyd Bridges, J ames Franciscus, Eva Gabor, Rafer Johnson, Harvey Korman, Dean Martin Jr., Dina Merrill, Lynn Redgrave, Cliff Robertson, Rod Steiger, Rudy Vallee, Dionne Warwicke and Andy Williams.

A kick-off for the celebrity tennis tournament was held Sept. 17 for the volunteer staff, numbering between 300 and 400 people, according to Pat Taylor, director of Development at Tech.

"Although Novai/Bucks Productions has done a number of celebrity tennis tournaments, ours will be the first ever for a university," Taylor said. "All the proceeds from the weekend will benefit scholarships, endowme nts and other areas of support for Texas Tech."

C harles Bucks of Novai/Buc ks Productions is a long-standing member of the Texas Tech President's Council and is a Distinguished Alumnus of the University. He is a retired vice president of Continental Airlines, now making his home in California. t 2/SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 1983

Members of one of the Celebrity Tennis Tournament committees meet during the summer to plan the dinner show. From left they are Larry Lowe, Pat Taylor of the Development office at Tech, Mary Belle Macy, Donna Alexander and Mary Brannen.

Novai/Bucks is a celebrity tennis tournament corporation, hosting, among others, the Jack Benny T ournament in Houston the last six years.

Taylor called the Tech tournament's voluntee r effort "tremendous," with the majority of help coming from Lubbock.

Serving as ge neral coordinators of the fund-raiser are Lee and Gwen Stafford. The Staffords were selected to serve by members of the Committee of 25, the working force behind the tournament.

Others heading committees are Charley and Toots Pope, sponsors/contributors division; Doug and Kay Sanford and Don and Ethel Mc Leod, souvenir program division; Ed and Kay Houser, tournament division; and Laurin and Sharon Prather, festivities division. !he tournament is set up so celebrities will play against or partner with Tech exes, frie nds of the University or members of the general public who will "buy in" to the doubles tournament at varying leve ls.

There will be eight court sponsorships ($5,000-$8,000 each); 30-40 Golden Raiders ($1,500 each), 50-120 Silver Raiders ($1,000 each) and Texas Tech Super Stars ($2,000 or more donated to the Texas Tech Foundation in behalf of the tournament).

Contributions will be made to the Tech Foundation and are tax deductible, Taylor said. "Donations do not have to be made by the individual who will be playing in the tournament," he added. "Persons may be sponsored by other individuals or their companies, for instance."

Golden Raiders will participate in all events and play with celebrity partners.

Silver Raiders, likewise, take part in the events, but play in the tournament with others from the Golden and Silver categories.

Activities planned in conjunction with the gala weekend are a Friday night (April 27) VIP reception for participants only. Tournament play will begin Saturday (April 28) a nd conclude Sunday (April 29). General admission for the 9 a.m. till 4 p.m. play will be $5 for a day or $7.50 for the entire weekend.

A celebrity dinner show at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center Exhibition Hall is on tap for Saturday night. The Las Vegas-style show will include a 20piece orchestra and 250 voices.

The $100-a plate dinner show is open to the public. Golden Raiders will be provided with four dinner tickets and seated with a celebrity at each table.

Silver Raiders will be given two tickets for the dinner show at good tables, but without the celebrity guest.

The public will be able to enjoy the show-scheduled after the dinner-by purchasing tickets priced at $12 each.

ross country, indoor and outdoor track are the responsibilities of one of the Texas Tech Athletic Department's most recognizable ambassadors, Gerald "Corky" Oglesby.

Known everywhere, it seems, for his radiant smile and friendly approach, Oglesby has been in charge of Red Raider track and field for the past eight years.

Three of Oglesby's last four squads have scored at NCAA meets. He has averaged an All-American per year for the last three seasons. James Mays, half-miler outdoors and 600-yard dash runner indoors, was the school's first All-American in 1981, and Thomas Selmon followed suit in 1982. Triplejumper Delroy Poyser became the school's third All-American last spring.

Oglesby took over the head coaching reins from Vernon Hilliard in June 1975, after serving as assistant track coach for three years.

or a guy on the scene only a short time, Greg Reynolds is making quite a name for himself as the Texas Tech golf coach.

All Reynolds did in his rookie season in 1983 was lead the Red Raider golfers to a surprising fourth-place finish in the Southwest Conference championships, which was their best finish in years.

"I was real pleased with our progress the first year," said Reynolds, who had taken over a team that had finished seventh the year before.

"I hope we are getting to the stage where we won't be surprising people.

We want them to expect us to beat them."

Another thrill for Reynolds was coaching Adam Kase to a third-place 14/SCF'TEMBCR.QCTOBER 1983

finish in the SWC individual race. It was the highest ranking and first All-Southwest Conference recognition by a Tech golfer since current professional golfer Jeff Mitchell burned up the league in 1976.

Though youthful, Reynolds is experienced as far as golf is concerned.

After a standout career at Lubbock Monterey, he went on to letter two years at perennially powerful Western Texas Junior College in Snyder. Then it was on to the University of Oklahoma for his last two years of collegiate golf.

"There is no reason Texas Tech can not have the type of program as the schools I was fortunate to play for," he said. "With a lot of practice and hard work, we'll be well on our way."

He had already established a reputation as being a relentless recruiter when he came to Tech in 1969 as a part of Bob Bass' basketball staff. He was Gerald Myers' top recruiter through 1975.

The Tulsa native graduated from Oklahoma Baptist in 1959 and received a master's degree from Texas A&M in 1965. He was the track coach at Central High School in Tulsa for two years before becoming the track coach at the University of Tulsa. After a year there, he was the assistant track coach at Western Kentucky for two years.

Oglesby's team finished ninth in a very talented Southwest Conference field last spring, despite scoring the most points a ninth place team has ever scored.

Four of the SWC's bests went on to finish near the top at the NCAA meet, and the Raiders were just points out of a fifth or sixth place finish in the SWC meet.

I

t's not often that coaches who take their teams to second- and thirdplace national finishes are beaten out for Coach of the Year honors in their conference, but that is what Texas Tech swimming coach Ron Holihan pulled off last year.

Even though Texas and SMU finished two-three in the NCAA national meet, it was Holihan who carted off the Coach of the Year title in the Southwest Conference.

"It was quite an honor, no doubt about that," Holihan said. "We broke a number of school records at the conference meet and really gave a lot of effort. If you do your best, that's all anybody can ask."

Beginning his fifth season as head swimming coach at Tech, Holihan got his start at Eastern Kentucky University, where he served as head swim-

ming coach for four years. He also swam competitively at EKU for fo ur years, setting numerous pool records and twice qualifying for the NCAA championships.

After graduation, Holihan stayed at his alma mater as a grad-aquatics director at Loraine Family YMCA in Loraine, Ohio. Stints at the Arlington Country Club and the Model Laboratory School in Richmond, Ky., followed before he moved back to Eastern Kentucky.

Even though the Raiders finished sixth at the SWC meet last spring, Holihan is confident the Raiders are ready to make a move.

"We have some talented people here who are just now blossoming," he said.

"You don't get good in this league by luck. We have to work harder than everybody else to be competitive."

here is more to the Texas Tech tennis program than courts and racquets, as coach Ron Damron will quickly attest.

"We want our players to be attuned to not only what is going on in the tennis program, but on the campus as well," he said. "We measure our players by what they do off the court as well as on."

Damron's stress toward an education as well as developing tennis skills helped the team to a combined grade point average last year of over 3.0. In fact, he was so well thought of that be became Tech's first full-time tennis coach just before last season, assuming the role of facilities coordinator/ administrative aide.

Damron is beginning his fourth season at the helm of the tennis program and he sees positive signs on the 16/S€PTEMBCR-OCT06ER 1963

horizon.

"Even though we play in the strongest conference in the country, I believe we can compete. We have had some fairly young teams in the past, and now we are ready to start benefiting from experience and maturity."

Damron coached the Raiders to a school record 17 dual-match victories last year, and with the vast majority of the squad returning, he looks for even better things this season.

A two-year tennis letterman for the Raiders in the mid-60s, Ron played and coached tennis in the U.S. Army for 10 years. He was also a helicopter pilot in Viet Nam and a flight instructor.

After discharge, he worked as a club professional in El Paso and Lubbock.

He earned a BBA in finance from Tech and his master's degree is in business administration from Chapman College.

exas Tech's Gerald Myers will enter his 13th season as basketball coach of the Red Raiders this winter. And all eyes will be focused on the encore appearance of his young team that refused to roll over and play dead despite having most odds and obstacles piled up against them last year.

All eight players who finished the 1982-83 season return and with the addition of several capable recruits, Tech cage followers can be assured that Myers will have his Red Raiders back in the limelight that has shown on Tech basketball for many seasons.

Forced to finish last season with only eight players for reasons stemming from suspensions, to quitting, to players transferring, Myers experienced his first losing season at Texas Tech as either a player or a coach.

The Red Raiders lost a school record 20 games (the most since the 1962-63 team lost 17 and won 11) while Myers led Tech to the SWC post-season tournament after his Raiders finished sixth in the league race with a 7-9 record.

The Raiders' coach has a philosophy that revolves around coaching the talent that he has available. His intentions are to play a strong defensive game and an offensive game that has the best chance to win.

He feels like high-percentage shots are important to win. Myers thinks that if every player on his team can't shoot for 50 percent from all areas on the court, then he has to coach them to where they can score.

In the 1981-82 season, Myers guided the Raiders to their 13th consecutive winning season with a 17-11 record.

Tech was 8-8 in SWC play and finished in sixth place to mark only the third time in 25 years in the SWC that the Red Raiders did not finish fourth or better.

The 1982-83 season was only the third time that Texas Tech finished lower than fourth since Myers has been the leader of the basketball program.

Myers will enter the 1984 SWC season with a 134-76 (.638) edge against SWC opponents, and he owns a series advantage over six of the Raiders' eight league foes.

In 12~ years at the Tech helm, Myers has rolled up a 218-135 (.616) record and has taken the Raiders to the NCAA playoffs three times. Under Myers, Tech has won an SWC championship, finished second three times,

third twice and captured the first SWC post-season tournament championship in 1976.

The 46-year-old coach has become one of the most respected, popular and innovative college basketball coaches in the country as well as abroad. He has authored numerous articles for basketball publications and is a frequent speaker at basketball clinics.

In 1976, Myers was selected by the U.S. Air Force to conduct a series of basketball clinics in Germany. In 1977, he held clinics in Peru as part of Partners in America programs.

He was chosen to coach a U.S. AllStar team on tour in Russia during the summer of 1978. This past summer, Myers was named to the board of directors of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, the governing body of college basketball. He is the respresentative of Division !- District VI. He joined a select group of coaches on the board which includes Dean Smith of North Carolina, Eddie Sutton of Arkansas, Bobby Knight of Indiana, John Thompson of Georgetown and Jack Hartman of Kansas State. Myers was the west team selection committee chairman at the 1983 NABC AU-Star game in Albuquerque, N.M. Myers is recognized as an outstanding teacher, and his teams are traditionally known to be team-oriented, fundamentally sound and strong defensively.

Using a combination of Myers' offenses and defenses, the Red Raiders have averaged 18 wins per season since he has been head coach.

Myers is a graduate of Borger High School, where he starred for the Bulldogs and earned a spot on the Texas High School Coaches Association AllStar team in 1955. He later became one of the few people to ever play and coach in the game when he guided the North All-Stars in 1962 after he led Lubbock Monterey to the Class 4A state tournament with a 30-5 record.

He played college basketball at Texas Tech and became the Red Raiders' first All-SWC performer in any sport as a sharp-shooting guard in 1958. Other honors while a player include twice being named to the UPI Little Man's All-America squad, AllDistrict VI, All-SWC tournament as well as All-SWC. He still holds the Tech school record for free throw percentage (86.9) in a single season.

In seven years as head coach at

Monterey, Myers built a 150-53 (.739) record before leaving to coach three seasons at Houston Baptist College. He had a three-year record of 32-43 at HBC and comes into this season with a 15~-year coaching record of 250-178 (.584).

Bob Bass hired him as an assistant coach at Tech in 1970 and he took over the head job in January of 1971.

Myers has excelled off the court as well as on it. He is regarded as a strong recruiter and has coached 11 first-team All-SWC players and three All-Americans while at Tech. The Raiders have had two league scoring champs, and two others have paced the conference in rebounding under Myers' guidance.

Myers has been selected SWC Coach of the Year several times by various publications and organizations and he was named District VI Coach of the Year three times. He has been voted into the Texas High School Basketball Hall of Fame by the Waco Chamber of Commerce.

The city of Borger honored him with a "Gerald Myers Day" in 1976 and retired his high school jersey with a special ceremony that also saw him named an honorary Borger Ambassador.

Myers, a recipient of a master's degree from Texas Tech, is one of a select few to be initiated as an honorary member of the Saddle Tramps.

SEPrEMBER-OCTOBER 1983/17

Ashby finished his Tech playing career with an overall average of .298, and for two seasons he had a better than .300 average and a third at .293.

He was equally adept in the field as he led the SWC in putouts as a junior.

That year he fielded a slick .992, making only two errors in 234 chances.

Ashby gained All-America honors in 1977 as a first baseman and was twice named Ali-SWC. After lettering four years at Tech, he was drafted by the San Diego Padres and played in their system for five years.

He reached San Diego's AAA affiliate in Hawaii, where he played two seasons for the Texas Rangers' Doug Rader, before retiring after the 1981 season.

Ashby, an active recruiter for the baseball team, is anxious to begin his first season as head coach in Tech's new playing facilities.

"This is quite an honor for me, and I'm going to give the new responsibilities my best shot," he said.

S

hen former first baseman Gary Ashby closed his collegiate career several springs ago, there was a collective sigh of relief from opposing pitchers around the Southwest Conference.

Few SWC players hit with the power and consistency which Ashby displayed during his career at Tech.

He will again be a prominent figure in the success of Texas Tech baseball beginning this spring when he enters his first season as the Red Raiders' head coach.

Ashby took over the reins as the Tech coach from Kal Segrist, who served in that capacity for 16 seasons.

Athletic Director John Conley named the former Lubbock All-Stater to the head coach's position on May 23.

Ashby had served as an assistant to Segrist for two seasons.

The change from being a Raider assistant coach to the executive position is nothing new for Ashby, who has had to make the transition from playing high school baseball to playing profes-

sional baseball to coaching college baseball.

The 1977 graduate of Tech was a Class 4A All-Stater as a senior after lettering three years for legendary coach Bobby Moegle at Lubbock Monterey.

The 28-year-old Ashby's entire Tech playing career was filled with outstanding performances, but he saved his best for his senior year. In 1977, Ashby set school records for most doubles in a season (11), most home runs in a season (11), most doubles in SWC play (7) and most runs-batted-in in a season (54).

He also became the career leader in doubles (35) and RBis (109). His 11 home runs in a season broke the old record of 10 set by former major leaguer Doug Ault in 1971.

All records that Ashby set on the season and career level have since been broken, but he still shares the standard for doubles (3) and triples (3) in a single game.

ome three years ago, Texas Tech selected Jerry Moore to lead the Red Raiders to the Southwest Conference promise land.

And if the intentions of the plan he has installed is any indication, it shouldn't be too long before Tech fans can trade in their comfortable living room chairs on New Year's Day for stadium seats in the Cotton Bowl.

Based on the old West Texas princi· pie of how the area was built from the ground up by hard-working, dedicated people, Moore is using the same approach to turn the Red Raider football program around.

He has impressed fans and foes alike with his spirited approach to his job and his sincere desire to bring the Tech program back to the glory days of the 1970s.

The 43-year-old's popularity has grown as rapidly as has the rejuvenated program. A banner 1983 recruiting crop has reenforced Moore's image as a solid recruiter, and his wide open attacking tactics on the field make him one of the nation's top offensive minds.

Moore is well schooled and knows that there are many cogs in constructing a solid and winning program. His commitment to the red-shirt program and his encouragement of walk-ons are just two examples of Moore covering all the bases.

The Red Raiders redshirted 32 players last fall, and with a great majority of

walk-ons, the Tech team now appears set to make a move upwards in the always wild SWC standings.

A pretty good indication of what lies ahead for the Raiders is the performance Moore and his staff turned in last fall. Pegged for no better than ninth place in the SWC before the season started, Tech startled the prognosticators with four victories-three in conference games- and scared the wits out of then No. 1 Washington and No. 2 SMU before losing the games.

A mere three plays could have made the difference in the Red Raiders finishing the 1982 season with a 6-4-1 record instead of the actual4-7. Split end Troy Smith slipped on a two-point conversion play that could have resulted in a one-point win over Baylor.

The Raiders were denied an opportunity to either tie or defeat Washington, and everybody remembers the miracle play in the SMU game that denied Tech a tie of the nation's No. 2-ranked team.

Moore always likes the opportunity to talk about the Texas Tech football program and its future.

"With our facilities and the support we have at Texas Tech, I couldn't be any more e nthused about what is ahead for the Red Raiders. We made some good strides last year, and we will make some more this fall."

Whether it's on the field coaching, out recruiting or simply greeting visitors in his office overlooking the green carpet at Jones Stadium, he always is the model of stability. It's a trait that he has consistently developed during his 21-year high school and college coaching career.

A 1957 graduate of Bonham High School in north Texas, Moore earned 14 varsity letters in four sports. He was first-team All-State at end in football and a member of the Texas High School Coaches Association All-Star game.

At Baylor, Moore played for John Briders and received special spring tutoring from Baltimore Colt great Raymond Berry. He was No.8 in the nation in receiving his sophomore year in 1958 and No. 7 in 1960. He captained the 1960 Baylor team that played in the Gator Bowl. Then came a tryout with the Dallas Cowboys, one Moore remembers as being "so short I bet Tom Landry doesn't remember it."

After completing requirements for a bachelor's degree in finance and economics from Baylor in 1961, Moore's first coaching job was a four-year stay

at Corsicana High School as an assistant. He was part of the staff that helped the school to a four-year record of 39·1· 1, including a 14-0 mark and a Class 3A state championship in 1963. While at Corsicana, Moore came to know a schoolboy quarterback named Tom Wilson, who was a star at Texas Tech and later head coach at Texas A&M. Hayden Fry summoned Moore to the SMU campus in 1965 and he coached there for eight years. Little did Moore know that he would someday replace Fry as the head coach at North Texas State in Denton.

Moore coached linebackers and de· fensive ends through the 1966 season, the year SMU won the Southwest Conference championship. He coached receivers after that, including the na· tionally ranked passing offensive team of 1968 that posted an 8-3 record and beat Oklahoma in the Bluebonnet Bowl.

While with the Mustangs, Moore often conferred with fellow assistant coach Bum Phillips, now of the New Orleans Saints.

After the 1972 season, Moore joined

Tom Osborne's staff at Nebraska as receiver coach-in time for their Orange Bowl victory over Notre Dame on the first day of 1973.

Moore's last game with the 'Huskers was in the Orange Bowl in 1979.1n between, Moore took over as the offensive coordinator and helped Ne· braska to a six-year record of 56-16-2 including a 5·2 bowl record. One of those five bowl victories was a win over Tech in the 1976 Bluebonnet Bowl.

The head coaching job at North Texas State lured Moore back to his home state in 1979. Despite a rugged schedule and few home games, he led the Mean Green to an 11-11 record in two years before he traded in his NT Green and White for the Texas Tech Scarlet and Black on Jan. 4, 1981.

When Moore arrived on the Texas Tech scene, he entered his first spring practice with some 80-90 players and realized quickly that he had his work cut out for him.

Extensive red-shirt and walk-on pro· grams have helped hike ~he Tech player number to in the area of 150 for 1!1 the 1983 season.

rdering an athlete to "relax" is synonymous with the command "get strong." To accomplish both requires training and practice on and away from the field of competition, say sports psychology researchers.

"It takes some two to three weeks for a person to become proficient in relaxation techniques," says Russ Lord, a Northwest Missouri State University psychologist.

"Many coaches are realizing the 20/SEPTEMBCR.OCTOBER 1983

importance of self-control rather than control of the athlete by outside forces."

Lord and Bill Kozar, a Texas Tech sports health faculty person, have conducted research on the psychological development of the elite athlete.

"Relaxation is a learned skill," Kozar said_ "It takes training to make anyone self-concentrate and relax to bring the level of anxiety down and the athletic performance up_" Sports psychology, applied for many

years in training Soviet Union and European athletes, is relatively new to the U.S. sports scene. However, in its 10 years since migrating to this country, applied sports psychology has added new meaning to the phrase "mental game."

"The mental preparation for competition is a skill requiring practice just like the physical skills," Kozar said.

"Successful coaches realize this. Unsuccessful coaches often do not."

The cliche of a game being 90 percent mental and 10 percent physical is no half-baked notion, the researchers agree. However, no matter how mentally prepared an athlete is, without a high level of physical skill as a prerequisite, he or she is not going to be successful.

"Today, most elite athletes are doing basically the same type of training to get physically ready," Lord said. "This has not always been the case. Weight training hasn't always been as widespread as it is today. This sameness in

player is prepared. He can be confident and relax."

Golf professional Jack Nicklaus is an example of someone who has used visual imagery since age 10, Lord said.

Visual imagery ties in closely with relaxation techniques in bringing down anxiety and allowing a player to better perform to the level of physical capabilities.

"Coaches used to tell players to get psyched up, get in there and hustle," Lord said.

"This often has the effect of increas·

For the athlete in the upper levels of competition, mental preparedness often separates winners from less successful athle tes.

"At the upper level, the difference between winning and losing so often depends on an athlete's mental state, not on strength or speed or skill," Kozar said. "When 10 people line up for the 100-yard dash, virtually any one of them is physically capable of win· ning.

'The athlete who comes out the winner will be the one who is psycholo· gically ready to perform to his or her maximum level on that particular day and at that particular second when the gun goes off."

Techniques being taught athletes in preparation for competition include visual imagery, relaxation, time competence and emotional control.

"Athletes can program themselves to execute correctly by mentally visualizing a particular event at a particularly critical moment," Kozar said. . A basketball player, for example, can experience a game-winning free throw over and over in his mind. Without this mental preparation, a player suddenly confronted with the pressure in a game situation may not be able to concentrate on the task at hand.

"The player who has mentally visualized making the shot has been in this situation a hundred times before it comes to real life," Kozar said. "This

ing motivation beyond a desirable level which results in muscle tension, greater expenditure of energy, reducing rather than increasing concentration on the relevant stimuli and ultimately a less efficient performance. This is exactly opposite to what the coach had in· tended the 'psyched up' instructions to accomplish."

Olympic basketball teams do not run onto the court giving "high-five" signs to other players, Kozar said. These athletes are aware of the importance in keeping anxiety levels down in order to concentrate more closely on their game.

from a narrowing of attention."

Time competence-training the ath· Jete's mind for the present situation rather than the past or future---is another area which requires practice.

"The higher the level of competition, the more important it becomes for athletes to handle distractions," Kozar said.

Joe Paterno, football coach of the Penn State Nittany Lions, is one coach who realizes the importance of time competence, Kozar said.

Paterno has been quoted as saying distractions kept his team from achiev· ing a national title in 1978. Paterno successfully eliminated those distractions in guiding Penn State to the No. 1 ranking in 1982.

Thinking about upcoming banquets, trips and interviews while at practice diverts the athlete's attention from the task at hand and has a negative effect on performance. Time competence can be the difference between a No. 1 and a No. 2 ranking.

Lord also believes athletes can learn to enhance their tolerance to pain by reducing the importance of their envir· onment. Whether athletes, however, choose a sport in relation to the amount of pain they can withstand is not yet known.

In emotional control, sports psychology has opened new realms of under· standing.

"Coaches used to think that the higher an athlete was motivated, the better he would perform," Kozar said.

"As the level of competition becomes higher and higher, the anxiety level becomes higher and higher," Kozar said. "Without the use of relaxation techniques, a situation can cause an athlete more stress than he can handle.

"One athlete may need to pace and talk to people. Another may be just the opposite and need to sit down and be quiet," Kozar said.

In emotional control and readiness, coaches play an important role. The pep talk which attempts to motivate through a "do or die" approach may instead put the athlete who prepares through quiet meditation in a state of panic.

Gloomy, old slough in east Texas provides hunter with long-lasting memory of an unexplained and . . unnerving experience . . .

MYSTERYATRUBAR~ SLOVGH

BY WILLIAM R. C. WATSON

E

ver since I can remember, I have gone duck hunting during the winter months of the year. I recall my father carrying me on his shoulders through flooded marsh and woodlands, sometimes breaking ice with the butt of his gun so he could get through the mud and waist-deep water.

He carried me several hundred yards like this until we got to the blind where I could stand on something solid. We hunted from sunup, usually depending on how the ducks were flying, until 11 or 11:30.

When he felt sure there were no ducks anywhe re near, he'd let me blow my duck call, which consisted of making a fist with both hands and blowing through my thumbs. (Now I understand why he waited until the end of the hunt to let me use my call!)

My dad and I have been hunting partners ever since, and have had more fun and excitement than most people ever dream about. We have seen more ducks and geese than a lot of people ever will. We have also hunted in some of the most peculiar and interesting places.

One particular hunt sticks in my mind.

The season started out rough because the ·cold air had not made it down to East Texas yet. The northern ducks just hadn't been pushed down our way. It was about the middle of November and the leaves were falling off the trees.

There was an old slough about 20 miles west of town owned by an elderly black man named Rubar. Rubar was what everyone called him-we don't know if that was his name o r not. He lived in a two-room frame house with a red chimney that must have been taller than the house was long.

Any time we hunted Rubar's slough, we brought him something he didn't have (which was a lot), or just gave him a little spending money for the privilege of hunting on his property.

One particular day in the middle of the week, my father and I decided to visit Rubar's slough. We got all our gear together and drove out to the site, went through the rituals with Rubar and took the mile and a half walk through a corn field, a series of fences, and finally through the woods that descended to the slough about 30 feet below. It was late afternoon, and we had about an hour-and-a-half to hunt.

Rubar's slough is no place to be after dark, I might point out. There are tales of quicksand and alligators there. When the sun goes behind the trees it's not long before dark. The slough is surrounded by giant pin oak and willow trees. You can actually stand 20 feet from the water's edge and never even see the water.

On the southernmost tip of this half-acre body of water are several small willow trees that are s urrounded by water and high cattail reeds. There is a distinct odor to the place- like old water and green mud.

22/SEPTEMBER-QCTOBER 1983

The most open water that we ever discovered was about 35 square yards. This is what we called the center of the slough. No one we knew had ever crossed the slough, because they said there was no bottom. This made shooting birds even more difficult because you didn't want to go out in the middle of the slough to retrieve them; therefore, you had to shoot so the birds fell where you could reach them.

All in all, it was a foreboding and dismal place, particularly after dark.

By the time we got to the water's edge and put on our waders and loaded the guns, a light breeze had begun to blow out of the north. This made the hunting much better because ducks always land into the wind.

My father, being more familiar than I with the slough, positioned himself in the middle of the willows and reeds on the southern side. He stood about waist deep in the water some 15 feet from the middle of the slough. I moved away's north and stayed in the flooded woods on the west bank, toward the end of the slough.

The sun was in the trees, making the light dim. The breeze was still cooling the air. From nowhere it sounded like the Blue Angels! Three woodier came buzzing the tree tops, making one circle and then dropping like bombs on the water. Before we realized what happened, six more came directly overhead.

This time, they did not bother to gain the altitude needed to get above the tree tops; they were dodging pin oaks with the greatest of ease. Before we reloaded our guns, they were on us again.

This time, there were three different bunches-two groups of six and the third had about ten- we couldn't get a good count. This attack went on for some 20 minutes. We managed to bring down several ducks through the course.

I had repositioned myself where I was facing the 0 pen water, because the sun was gone and it was getting dark fast.

I could see better over the water, for the ducks had slowed down their attacks, and my heart was back to normal.

Then I heard some loud rustling in the cattail reeds behind my father. !listened for a while and remembered that Rubar did not own a cow or pigs; even if he did, whatever this was had to be in the water to be in those reeds.

A pair of ducks swooped down out of the dusky sky and both Dad and I squeezed out a shot. The ducks escaped, and we heard them land on the middle of the water. Perhaps my concentration was off because I was trying to figure out what was making all the noise in the reeds. (I'm s ure that's why I missed my shot!)

I noted that the noise did not stop when both guns were shot- three times each. The noise became continual and louder yet. I began to get concerned about my hunting

What is the Ex-Students Association The Ex-Students Association is an organization of ex· students cooperating with and working on behalf of the University - but not administratively affiliated with it - to serve Texas Tech University, provide an opportunitY for closer relationships among ex-students, and serve as a communications link between the University and its ex· students and friends.

Some of the services provided to contributing members of the Ex-Students Association are listed below: The Texas Techsan Magazine, published six times a year for minimum contribution of $25. Departments include Association News, Features, Sports, Class Notes, About Town, Obituaries and Tech Today. It is a good blend of news and feature items about the campus, the Association, former sutdents and even the city of Lubbock. Specialty ads featuring Texas Tech merchandise are run in each issue, as a further serVice to Techsans and their friends.

Chapter Activities, which include everything from formal dinners to barbeques, are scheduled across the nation primarily in the spring and summer months, but also center around Tech athletic events. Coaches and adminis· trative representatives of the University often serve as special guests at the 76 active chapter's meetings.

Class reunions, for the 10·, 15·, 20-, 25·, 35-, 40· and 50-year classes are held in the fall and spring in conjunction with University activities such as Homecoming and Commencement.

Travel Programs, at a reduced cost, are taking Techsans and their friends from Hawaii to Disneyworld and from Alaska to the Mediterranean and Hong Kong.

Other Benefits of membership include opportunities for tickets to the annual two-day Homecoming activities, special rates on rental cars, both life and health insurance, and use of the undergraduate library.

Our Century Club and Old Red Club members have additional benefits which include: marble dated desk plaque, lapel pins, choice of a red wool blazer or Texas Tech clock for Old Red Contributors; and both Century Club and Old Red members are entitled to purchase annual memberships in Tech's new Student Recreation Center.

So, what happens to the money that is contributed to the Ex-Students Association to benefit Texas Tech? The Association offers support in the following ways: Funds to pay for bringing 100 high school counselors to the Campus each summer to be briefed on Tech's academic program; Funds for the six undergraduate schools, the School of law and the undergraduate and law libraries; Support to the Faculty Development Fund; National Merit Scholarship program; Scholarships to each Texas high school valedictorian and salutatorian enrolling at Tech; Scholarships to junior college transfer students who are members of Phi Eta Sigma national honor society; Dean Killion Scholarship Endowment Program; Distinguished Service Awards to outstanding faculty and staff; Endowed Academic Scholarship Programs; Opportunity Plan Student Loan Programs; Ex-Students Association Distinguished Professorship; Student Foundation Support; Recognition program for highest ranking Tech gradu· ates.

Through membership in the Ex-Students Association, your tax deductible gifts, whether large or small, can do great things for the University to produce and ensure a high quality institution. This support by former students and friends ofTexas Tech is ever important to the University's continuing excellence. (Membership form att· ached).

Association to see the World The travel program of the Ex-Students Association has been expanded considerably with trips all over the world for Tech fans and exes.

Europe, the Orient, Hawaii, Alaska, as well as cruises to the Caribbean and the Mediterranean are being offered through the Association. In addition, weekend trips to some of the Tech football away games for the 1983 season are planned.

Based on the success of recent alumni trips to Hawaii and the Seattle area, the Association has decided to organize and implement more travel for the benefit of our members. Traveling with other exes, realizing a reduction in cost due to group travel and the chance to visit exotic locales are just a few of the advantages of being involved with our excursions.

Alumni and friends of the University interested in more information concerning any or all of these trips should contact Jim Douglas at 806/742-3641 or write the Ex· Students Association office.

Some of the trips being organized at this time include: December 26-31, 1983: Trip to Orlando, Forida for a visit to Disneyworkl and the new Epcot Center.

March 13-26, 1984: Mediterranean Cruise.

partner, so I hollered, "What are you doing over there?"

The reply was, "It's not me. I thought it was you." I knew it was behind him and he was trying to scare me, so I kept to myself.

The wind had died down some, and that noise sounded like a herd of elephants there in the dimming light.

Imaginations can get the best of you in Rubar's slough, but this was not my imagination.

Several minutes passed while we both listened to our hearts and that noise in the bush. It was a constant rustle of reeds. Just kidding him, I hollered out again, "I wish you'd be quiet. The game warden will hear us from his office in town with all the noise you're making."

He returned the comment but was dead serious. "I don't know what's making that damn noise, but I'm getting out of here if it don't stop," he yelled.

Two more ducks came swooping in over the slough, and I had to turn to my left to get a good shot. I turned around, but not in time to shoot. It was in time, though, to see something in the water. Not more than ten feet away from me was an object about five feet long, half submerged. It was facing me long·ways, sort of perpendicular to me. It did not seem to be moving, yet it appeared to be parting the water by its length.

Now, this all seemed very peculiar, especially since Rubar's slough has no running water in it. The thing was moving water, but not going anywhere. Yet the slough is standing water only.

I stood motionless for what seemed like hours. I studied the object that was moving water somehow. The first thing I thought was that it was an alligator. If an alligator swims, though, he swims with the narrowest part of the body into the water; he does not swim with the length of the body first.

While I was in deep thought and scared white, the rustling in the bushes had not stopped. I heard more ducks coming, but I was not going to take my eyes off the "Lock Ness of

Rubar's slough!" My eyes were on the object, but I could hear the ducks' loud whistle over the rustle in the bushes.

They were right over my father.

My adrenalin was stirred up enough, but when he shot at those ducks, I must have jumped out of my skin-all the time my eyes glued on the stranger in the slough.

I heard water thrashing wildly, then loud cursing by my father. I knew he was coming to shore, making as much noise as he could. This convinced me that I was in the wrong place, too. I have never walked backwards in water wearing chest waders with so much grace. The entire time I watched the object. It never moved.

I could tell by the tone in my father's voice that he was not real sure what was going on. (He'd never admit to being scared.)

By now it was dark. Fortunately, he had the flashlight and I could see where he was. When I got to shore, I made a beeline for that flashlight; nothing was stopping me now.

We couldn't tell that the moon was full till we got out of the slough, through the trees and into the open field. It didn't occur to me until we were in the field that we had left all the ducks down at the slough. I thought about saying something, but refrained from it. I knew neither of us was going back in there to get them!

The winter cold fronts did finally come, and we had a pretty good year after all. We never did have a hunt as good as the one at Rubar's, however, even though we had brought nothing home to show for it.

Oh, and needless to say perhaps, Mr. Rubar has not had T the fortune of being entertained by us since!

RX for a winner?

Mothers and fathers are taking their children to the doctor's office, asking for a prescription for drugs to make their offspring into winners!

By Preston Lewis

T

he use of drugs, not those sold by street-corner pushers, but those prescribed legally, is threatening the very ideal of the Olympic games- plus sports in generaL Drug use, says Or_ Martin H. Mcintyre of Texas Tech, is just one of the growing moral and ethical issues facing the O lympic games as a result of scientific advances in sports medicine.

But, according to Mcintyre, prescription drugs to extend physical endurance and increase athletic excellence present the most pressing problem.

'The use of drugs and related agents by athletes strikes at the very heart of sports-the individual athlete," he said.

2A/SEPTEM8ER-QCT06ER 1983

"This single issue is more important than all the political and financial problems faced by the Olympic games today."

Mcintyre said private physicians in some sections of the country "are prescribing drugs to thousands of children to make them bigger, stronger and faster."

"Mothers and fathers are taking their most valuable possession- their children-to their doctor's office and instructing the doctor to 'prescribe something to make my child a winner,'" he said. "Is this what sport should be?"

The answer is no, particularly if the Olympic concept which values competition over victory is followed, Mcintyre said. However, the overblown emphasis on winning has pervaded all levels of sports from childre n to the elite athlete in the United States and has subverted the Olympic purpose internationally.

"Nations of the world have permitted the Olympic competitions to showcase their political and economic systems," Mcintyre said, "to the extent that the stated purpose of the games is observed in the struggle to obtain the coveted medals."

With such misplaced Olympic values, the temptation arises to use and misuse sports medicine to enhance athletic performance. The short-term athletic gains from prescribed drug use may well prove not worth the long-range risk to individual health. And certainly, the athlete has a right to know about possible ramifications, Mcintyre said.

"The scientific and medical community must look at every aspect of medicine and sports medicine," he said.

"Every aspect of sports medicine, its recommendations and practices, must

be able to withstand the scathing judgment of medical and scientific morality."

Mcintyre, who is chairman of Tech's department of health, physical education and recreation, said, "A worldwide Olympic morality based on the Olympic ideals may be an idealistic dream, but the search for something better has ltJ produced no visible alternative."

TECH TODAY Law school 'mud lot' staked and ready for paving

was presented during the National Golden Spur Award and Prairie Party Sept. 16 in Lubbock.

Armstrong raises commercial and registered Santa Gertrudis and ranches or farms in Jim Hogg, Kleberg and Kenedy counties of Texas. He is managing partner of the John B. Armstrong Ranch, Kingsville.

As executive vice president of the King Ranch, Armstrong oversees the ranch's domestic operations in Mississippi, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Florida. He also is in charge of the ~ing Ranch holdings in Spain, Morocco, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela and Australia, which include cattle, horse and some sheep operations.

He was director of the Texas and South· western Cattle Raisers Association from 1969-74 and an officer from 1974-80, serving as president from 1978-80.

Armstrong is director of the National Finance Credit Corp. and Texas Livestock Marketing Association. He is chairman of the Texas Animal Health Commission and member of the board of directors of the National Cattleman's Association.

This summer, in a vigorous, all-out effort to increase and improve parking facilities at Tech, three previous eye-sores were given long overdo attention-the west campus area near the law school and KTXT, the 401 engine lot near the Auditorium, and the old barracks area that housed women's athletics. The areas were leveled, paved and, in general, made into beautiful, unrutted, unmuddy parking lots.

Symposium devoted to music, entertainment

Tech policy approved on naming of buildings Texas Tech regents on May 13 adopted a policy regarding the naming of University buildings and facilities. The policy states: Academic buildings shall be named on the basis of the major academic use of the building. All new buildings should be named, wherever practicable, by the time the preliminary architects' drawings are approved. Any name changes of existing buildings should be determined as far as possible ahead of occupancy.

Residence halls may be named for a person, provided the individual is not actively connected with Texas Tech University at the time the building is named.

Sub-units of buildings (auditoriums, offi· ces, reading rooms, libraries, conference rooms, laboratories, etc.) may be named after an individual who, as an employee, has provided exemplary service to Texas Tech or who, as a volunteer, has avidly pursued a program of excellence for a department, school, college or for Texas Tech University.

An individual, foundation or corporation wishing to expand the facilities of Texas Tech may have an area named after the donor provided 90 percent of the designated area and/or equipment therein is provided by the donor.

Streets and designated landscape areas of t he campus may be named after individuals or groups of individuals who have brought honor and distinction to the institution.

Athletic and recreational facilities or areas may be named after a donor(s) or family who wish to donate a substantial contribution toward the cost of the project (normally a minimum of 90 percent).

In no case shall a campus site, structure or facility bear the name of more than two individuals or one foundation or corporation.

Exceptions to the above sections may be made by the board of regents when it is determined that a building should be named for a major donor or other person deserving special attention.

King Rancher chosen for Golden Spur award John B. Armstrong, executive vice president of the King Ranch in Kingsville, Texas, has been named 1983 recipient of the National Golden Spur Award.

The award is presented annually to an individual who has made significant contributions to the ranching and livestock industry in both humanistic and scientific ways.

Armstrong was the sixth to receive the coveted Steuben-designed gilded OK spur encased in a crystal presentation piece. It

Student unearths rare spearpoint at lakesite College students from throughout the nation found out more about Paleoindian cultures this summer at the Lubbock Lake Landmark.

The students made up an archeological field crew at the project, one of the foremost archeological sites in the nation.

Dr. Eileen Johnson, director of the Lubbock Lake National and State Landmark, said summer research focused on the complex stratigraphy and cultural record of the Paleoindians, from 8,000 to 12,000 years ago.

"In our first week of work, we were finding something every other day," she said.

"Finding three spearpoints is very unusual for one season, let alone so soon. It kept the motivation levels high. Archeology is usually much slower."

One of the college students, Steve Stadel· man, a junior from the University of Cincinnati, Ohio, found the first point during his first two hours of work at the project. The point was a rare, obsidian spearpoint, dating back about 10,000 years.

A rare obsidian projectile point dating back a bo ut 10,000 years was unea rthed during the firs t we ek of s umme r excavation a t the Lubbock Lake Site.

Dr. Gene Medley (standing), director of Admissions and Records at Tech, welcomes high school counselo rs to the University during an informal barbecue a t t he Ranching Heritage C e nter.

This summer, Tech and the Office of New Student Relations hosted the second ex· pense-paid, on·campus conference for 100 counselors from across the state and New Mexico.

The gathering was designed to acquaint counselors with the academic programs, facilities, services, spaciousness and friendli· ness of Texas Tech.

Reactions from those attending were to· tally positive, with the greatest number of

remarks made about the diverse programs and degree opportunities at the University.

Dr. J ohn Edwards, director of New Stu· dent Relations, termed the annual confer· ence another success, and in fact improved upon from last year's initial venture.

"The conference is an information·packed few days, with the counselors putting on their walking shoes and actually getting out and seeing first -hand what Tech has to offer."

Cattle pens will be constructed from the King Ranch Caesar pens, donated this summer.

A steam locomotive given to Texas Tech in the '60s has been moved to the Ranching Heritage Center where newly laid tracks allow it to stand next to the restored Ropes railroad station.

Built in 1923, the coal·burning engine has become part of the center's section on the railroad's role in early ranching.

The locomotive was given to Tech in 1964 by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad Co. , now Burlington Northern, for permanent exhibit purposes. The engine was to represent trains used in early West Texas-the Fort Worth and Denver 401s.

These trains were unavailable because they had been sold for scrap in 1955.

A former Texas Tech board of regents chairman, the late R. Wright Armstrong of Fort Worth, was instrumental in obtaining the engine for Tech. He was long·time vice president of Burlington's Fort Worth and Denver Railroad.

Giants of the Plains new gallery in museum "Giants of the Plains," a new natural history gallery is being planned at The Museum of Texas Tech University.

Pat Allgood, curator of exhibits, said the exhibit will not be completed and open for several months. It should include informa· tion and graphics on animals like the ancient camel, giant short-faced bear, giant arma· dillo and ancient bison in comparison with modern counterparts.

The first piece is a 500·pound trophy elephant head from the Tana River on the Northern Frontier of Kenya.

The gallery adjacent to Indian Hall in the museum will represent other historic and prehistoric giants of the Plains of Africa and North America.

AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES PIK principles need time to be effective The payment-in-kind program (PIK) is a rational approach to better balancing agricultural supply and demand, says a Tech ag economist. But it will need time.

Dr. Billy G. Freeman said, "I don't see any better alternative, and I surely hope PIK isn't abandoned before it has had time to work."

Freeman stressed PIK is no quick-fix. As with any economic measure, answers are sometimes complex and slow to appear.

Freeman said the principles behind PIK favor farmers, but the program must be administered for sufficient time to really help.

Supplies of surplus farm commodities in storage are hurting the markets, he said.

Farmers participating in PIK are given these commodities in exchange for holding some acreage out of production. By decreasing the supply, prices should rise even if demand stays constant.

"We've just got too much in storage, and this over-supply has hurt farmers by lowering prices of their products relative to production costs," Freeman said.

Like the farm, farm-related businesses are suffering too.

"In the short run, PIK is hurting them, but if farm prices come into line with production costs through the program, perhaps the dealers of machinery, seed, diesel and other materials will benefit."

The combined effects of existing inventories and a sluggish world economy make production coordination a necessity for our farm economy. Though the market has been responsible for this coordination for about a decade, it currently is in "cardiac arrest."

"It is going to take two or three years to see noticeable improvement in the world economy and this has a sizeable impact on American agricultural prices," Freeman said.

"We need a time of less surplus . Without PIK, farming is economic devastation for our farmers."

ARTS Be SCIENCES Vietnamese work ethic eases U.S. adjustment Demographics and a cultural ethic of hard work are responsible for recent Horatio Alger success stories involving the Vietnamese who fled Saigon when it fell in 1975.

That assessment by Tech sociologist Dr. Alden Roberts is based on a three-year study of some 350 Vietnamese who resettled in the United States.

Planners of Tech's field laboratories feedmill/feedlot project are (from left) Dr. C. Reed Richardson, Dean Sam Curl and Dr. Rodney L Preston, all of the College of Agricultural Sciences.

F eedmill project to make Tech best in nation A state with roots deep in ranching and Tech's location in a cattle-intensive area were factors figuring into a new feedmiiV feedlot expansion project for the University.

The $3.2 million project, to be completed in 1984, is moving much of Tech's beef cattle research from the Killgore Center near Amarillo to the College of Ag Sciences Field Laboratories east of New Deal.

The new feedmilVfeedlot will benefit producers, students and researchers, says Dr. Rodney L. Preston, Thornton chair professor and project planner. · He said the new facility will allow researchers to provide producers with more information in giving them an edge in the competitive market.

"We cannot be the best at everything," said Dean Samuel Curl. "But there are three or four areas in which we want to carve out our niche and be the very best in the country. Beef cattle nutrition and manage· ment and feed manufacturing make up one

of those areas."

The new facilities will include a computerdriven feedmill allowing for the feeding of 1,000 head of research cattle in six hours.

Operators can program more than 130 different formulas into the computer for dispensing to appropriate pens. The number of ingredients which can be factored into those formulas is limited only by those known to researchers.

The feedlot will also prove more efficient than its predecessor. A covered belt feedconveying system will transport formulas from the mill to the lot. Animal waste falling through slotted floors will be pushed by scrapers to receiving pits to use as fertilizer on experimental lands or to generate methane to power the feedmill.

Tech beef cattle nutritionist Dr. C. Reed Richardson, whose expertise helped in formulating feedmill design, said the new facilities will be the most sophisticated, workable system anywhere.

"The refugees who came over in 1975 were not a random cross section of the people in Vietnam," Roberts said. "They had more education, tended to be from the upper social strata, were more urban and were younger than the average Vietnamese.

"They had already known a middle class lifestyle and the advantages of literacy and education. When they came over to this country, even though they had a number of burdens, they also had an advantage over the average Vietnamese."

This allowed them to advance as fast as they did, Roberts added. Southeast Asian culture also contributed to the rapid assimila-

tion of Vietnamese.

"The push, the drive, the cultural ethic of hard work has caused a lot of these people to do well," Roberts said. "You talk about the work ethic- these people had it in spades!"

researchers scouring a 48-county region of the Texas Panhandle this summer.

The historical survey is attempting to find and identify structures of historic significance under a $41,612 grant from the Texas Historical Commission.

Project manager Dr. Joseph E. King said the researchers were trying to make a photographic record of any building or structure that will help describe the historical development of the region.

The main goal of the survey was to determine what pre-World War II structures survived and identify those of exceptional significance. Factors in making that determi· nation included the site's architectural, engineering and historical merits.

for the region's native Americans, Chicanos and blacks-peoples whose heritage might have been distorted, misunderstood or ignored, Balderrama said.

A lack of sensitivity for these three groups, which the program's courses primar· ily deal with, can be the outcome of ethnic unawareness, he noted.

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

College of fine arts not soon foreseeable Tech officials have, at least for now, dismissed the idea of creating a separate college of fine arts, according to Dr. Len Ainsworth, associate vice president for Academic Affairs.

A College of Arts and Sciences reorganiza· tion advisory committee recommended in February 1982 that a separate college of fine arts be established to include departments of music, theater, art and dance.

However, the proposal has not been approved by Tech President Lauro Cavazos, and he says the possibility of creating the new college is "rather distant."

Cavazos, the board of regents and the Coordinating Board would all have to approve the proposal before a separate college of fine arts could be established.

The idea became a major consideration after Arts and Sciences Dean Lawrence Graves announced his retirement.

21/SEPTEMBER-OCTOI!CR 1983

Fred C. Volker of the management area of the College of Business Administration has been named director of the Small Business Development Center at Tech.

The director works with the College of Business Administration and small businesses in the area. One portion of the center, the Small Business Institute, was established in 1970 as a joint venture of the college and the U.S. Small Business Administration. It has served as a model for over 450 such programs across the U.S. One part of the program, which includes more than 100 students who enroll in a senior level course, "Management of Small Business Enterprise," is of interest to Volker.

With the help of the SBDC director, students are assigned to work with area businesses on a consulting and counseling basis. The final result is enthusiastic students who have gained some practical experience in the business community and businesses which can profit from the technical knowledge of the students, Volker said.

Ethnic studies program popular at Texas Tech Task force examines Apparent disenchantment with ethnic stuBA's use of computers dies programs reported by many colleges is reversed at Texas Tech where the program is described in purely positive adjectives"strong, viable, growing."

Dr. Francisco E. Balderrama, Chicano history professor and ethnic studies director, believes the healthy program is a reflection on the faculty.

"The faculty at Tech is not isolated in teaching ethnic studies classes," he said.

"They also teach in traditional departments and are exposed to students who may not have thought of taking an ethnic studies course."

Balderrama also believes many students at the University have come to view the program as the educational link between career and community.

"If you live in the Southwest, it is important to understand or at least be familiar with the ethnic groups from which the area derives much of its heritage," he said.

The Ethnic Studies Program began at Tech in 1970 and builds a positive identity

The computer is a familiar tool in the world of research. It is becoming a familiar tool in the world of business and management.

Students of today will depend on compu· ters as they become the business leaders of tomorrow. In response to this need, The College of Business Administration has established the task force on the academic use of the computer.

Professors Frank Collins and Donald Clancy of the area of accounting have served on the task force since its formation.

As the computer becomes a reality in the classroom, it will have a far-reaching impact on students, faculty and the curriculum.

Many of the traditional modes of thought and theory will be replaced with new approaches to the learning process and decision-making methods.

Because business will demand computer skills of its employees, accounting students at Texas Tech will have the opportunity of expanded use of the computer in the classroom.

The greatest problem or hazard with which teachers deal is the lack of reading by children, according to recently retired dean of education, Dr. Robert H. Anderson.

"Lack of reading threatens our society and is a major reason for problems within the educational system," he said.

This fact supports the back-to·basics cry surfacing currently. But that cry has cropped up periodically throughout the his· tory of American education, Anderson said.

Education, however, has never abandoned the so-called "basics"-reading, writing and math, he added.

"Schools have always and will always emphasize these, but society has changed.

In my day, young people read everything we could get our hands on. Skills in reading, writing and speaking and a wide spectrum of basic knowledge were the results."

He said many young people today, from the youngest children on up, almost refuse to read. Many get through high school having read as little as two or three entire books in their lifetime.

Anderson blamed television and a fastpaced society for distracting adults and children from pleasure reading. He said television also counteracts many school lessons through improper grammer in its catchy commercials, and programming lacks the opportunity for in-depth questioning and thinking which books afford.

ENGINEERING College of engineering renews search for dean The search continues as once more the committee opens the door of the dean of engineering's vacant office for new candidates.

In mid-July, Dr. Robert Dryden, who holds a doctorate from Tech and is serving as industrial engineering chairman at Virgi· nia Polytechnic Institute, relinquished the Tech engineering deanship he had accepted May20.

Dryden stated that his decision to stay in Virginia was a personal matter and a career decision he made with his family.

Members of the dean's search committee include Dean Sam Curl of Ag Sciences, chairman, and Marion Hagler of electrical engineering, Joseph E. Minor of civil, Milton L. Smith of industrial, James H. Strickland of mechanical, A. Dudley Thompson of architecture and David L. Smith, president of the Engineering Student Council.

Female joke tellers seen as domineering If laughter is the best medicine, women should be healthier than men. For women, says Dr. Paul E. McGhee, occupy the role of respondent rather than joke teller in social situations. Men, on the other hand, initiate the humor.

"Of course there are exceptions to that," said McGhee, a Tech humor researcher.

"But when you do have a striking exception of a female being the initiator of humor in a

Tech urban design students built this futuristic model of downtown Lubbock as they think it could look after Interstate 27 through the city is completed.

Student project shows Lubbock of the future A futuristic civic area, a colorful farmers market, a stylish river walk and a distinctive Mexican-American cultural plaza all are integral parts of some Tech students' vision of the downtown Lubbock of tomorrow.

Urban design students during the spring completed an intensive study of ideas for revitalizing Lubbock's ailing central business district.

A huge wooden model that is the crown· ing jewel of that two-year study paints a rosy picture of the area as it could look after a few years of new construction and renova· tion projects.

Tech professor Dudley Thompson, whose

urban planning class in the fall semester of 1981 began the study, said many of the student ideas are not realistic, but increased accessibility would make much redevelopment economically possible.

City planner Randy Henson agreed that some of the students' visions were far· fetched, but he said the model was well· received when it was displayed at the Lubbock Arts Festival in April.

Toni Ireland, an assistant city planner who helped work on the Tech project, said the model was meant to provide a decidedly futuristic look at some possible develop· ments in the city's future.

group context, it really stands out."

McGhee, author of "Humor: Its Origin and Development," has spent 14 years studying "funny." Given traditional sex roles, he said initiating humor has become associated with masculine characteristics such as aggressiveness, dominance and assertiveness.

Along with research findings showing men as manufacturers of humor and women as respondents, some studies show there are also differences in what the sexes find funny.

Sexual and aggressive types of humor are more popular with men than women. Some women actually prefer self-disparaging jokes or jokes in which women are victimized (such as the Joan Rivers/ Phyllis Diller routines).

However, women who support or are involved in the women's liberation movement don't find female put-downs funny.

McGhee points out that "If women do show greater capacity to laugh at their own expense, it might mean they have a better sense of humor than men. After all, a popular definition of a sense of humor is the

capacity to laugh at one's own shortcomings or at one's own expense."

RHIM team in finals of frozen food contest A team of students from Tech's new restau· rant, hotel and institutional management program has been named a national finalist team in a frozen food contest.

Dr. David K. Hayes, director of the program and team adviser, said students had to develop a day's menu for a restaurant or institution based on the use of frozen food or frozen food ingredients.

The Tech team's menu centered on a Southwestern theme. Foods included Texas tacos, chilled avocado soup, non-alcoholic grapefruit margaritas and Mexican fried ice cream.

The team was one of four national finalists. Prizes included a $250 scholarship for the Tech program and a $50 cash award for each member. The team and its menu will be featured in the Nov. 1 issue of Restaurants and Institutions magazine.

MEDICINE Law school supporter honored as alumnus Long-time law school supporter R. Guy Carter of Dallas was named an honorary alumnus at the annual Tech Law School Association meeting in Dallas.

Carter graduated from Tech in 1928 and received his law degree in 1930 from the University of Chicago. He is one of the first graduates of Tech to become a licensed attorney in the state of Texas.

In his acceptance remarks, Carter com· mented on how pleased he was to see alumni "rallying" behind the law school. "I was involved in the initial stages of the alumni association for the University, so I know how important it is for alumni to organize and support the school," he said.

Carter has given the R. Guy Carter Schol· arship to an entering Tech law student since 1974. He is the second recipient of the honorary alumnus award; last year, retired Gulf attorney Irwin Coleman was the first honoree.

Tech law graduates excel on bar exams Over the last eight years, a higher percen· !age of Texas Tech School of Law graduates have passed the July bar exam than from any other school in the state.

Since 1975, an average 97.6 percent of Tech's graduates have passed the July exam. Southern Methodist had the second highest passage rate-96.6 percent and the University of Texas is recording a 94 percent passage rate over the same period for third among the seven reporting law schools.

Texas Tech had the highest passage rates among the law schools in 1975-79, was tied with SMU for the highest rate in 1982 and had the second highest rates in 1980 and 1981.

He holds an M.D. degree from Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada; and the master of sciences degree from McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario.

Dr. Wheeler was formerly with the North· eastern Ohio Universities College of Medi· cine, where he was senior associate dean.

He had also served as director of the office of medical education research and curricu· lum development, and associate professor of anatomy.

He earned his B.S. degree from Eastern New Mexico University, his M.D. with honors from Baylor College of Medicine and a Ph.D. in anatomy from Baylor.

Grant supports study of blinding diseases Abraham gift funds Brain Study Center Malouf Abraham '34 of Canadian, Texas, has presented a $100,000 check to Tech's Health Sciences Center to establish a brain study center, in honor of long-time friend Elmer Tarbox, a victim of Parkinson's Dis· ease.

The eventual $4 million-project will be a three-campus, computer-connected network of scientists and clinical researchers working together to study the brain and its functions.

The Amarillo, Lubbock and El Paso campuses of Tech's Health Sciences Center will be involved in the project, but the center will be administered from the Lubbock campus.

Recent studies indicate the centers can expect as many as 7,000 patients annually from the 107 counties in West Texas.

Abraham is an independent oil operator who has participated in major developments in Anadarko Natural Gas Resources, and he has been in the real estate business for many years.

He and his wife, Iris, have donated much money to Tech and to area charities.

Abraham has had a long-time interest in neurological disorders and said he is "proud to be able to give this gift in honor of good friend Elmer Tarbox."

Two administrators assume posts in HSC Two administrative positions have been filled in the Health Sciences Center this fall. Dr. Richard E. Barry has been named associate dean and assistant to the vice president for the Permian Basin Regional Academic Health Center. And Dr. E. Jay Wheeler has filled the newly created position of executive associate dean of Tech's School of Medi· cine.

Both positions became effective Sept. 1.

Dr. Barry came to Tech from Mercer University School of Medicine in Macon, Ga., where he had served as head of the Center for Health Care Model Family Prac· tice.

The department of ophthalmology and visual sciences has been awarded a $17,000 grant from Research to Prevent Blindness to support scientific research during the com· ing year into the causes, treatment and prevention of blinding diseases.

"We are pleased to have received this grant to aid in our research projects," said Dr. James Price, chairman of ophthalmol· ogy. "RPB's nationwide influence on eye research is a major factor in the revolution· ary developments which have occurred in ophthalmic surgery.

"This grant will have a stimulating effect in the development of our research efforts."

RPB, a New York-based research founda· lion, has assisted the Health Sciences Cen· ter ophthalmology department for the past five years, providing more than $50,500 in annual unrestricted grants for the pursuit of sight-saving research.

NURSING Nursing unit stresses direct patient care In January, the School of Nursing and Lubbock General Hospital entered a con· tractual agreement for development and operation of a special nursing unit in the hospital- Four East.

The two primary objectives of this unit are the delivery of high quality patient care and the establishment of a clinical and educa· tiona! setting for health care professionals with an emphasis on nursing.

The unit serves as a model for alternate forms of nursing care delivery systems and as a setting for testing nursing techniques and processes. It offers educational opportu· nities for both practicing professional nurses and student nurses.

O rganization of the unit is based on the concept of primary nursing in which each registered nurse serves as primary nurse for a panel of patients. This head nurse coordi· nates and plans a program of care for each patient. The plan is developed with the patient's physician, other health profession· als, the patient and the patient's family.

TEXAS TECH VOLLEYBALL (the 'other' fall sport)

BY DANA OLMSTEAD

T

exas Tech football and volleyball have more in common than it may first appear to the average sports fan. Consider, both teams em· ploy the pass as an integral part of the game plan, both wear pads (some for shoulders and some for knees, but pads nevertheless), both compete within the powerful Southwest Conference, and both play their seasons in the fall.

Red Raider volleyball-the other fall sport-is like football, shrugging off a season that will not go down in the record books as one of the more memorable in Tech's athletic history.

At 24-22, the Raiders passed the .500 mark, but managed only a fourth place finish in the SWC. "We will be a lot better than most people think," Coach Janice Hudson

said. "Our goal is to move up at least one notch in the conference standings and if our talent develops the way I think it can, we could find ourselves in the thick of the race for the title."

Tech will have the element of surprise on its side this season. With only four letterwinners, including two starters in Tana Beall and Megan McGuire, the Raiders enter the conference schedule as a rather unknown commodity.

"We made up for the lack of expe· rience on the team by recruiting three top-notch junior college transfers and

four freshmen with high school playoff and USVBA experience. That puts them way above the experience level of most newcomers," Hudson said.

"These players have a lot of talent.

The ingredient that sets them apart from most teams is desire. They are winners and are determined to make Texas Tec h volleyball a winning program."

Oh, Red Raider volleyball and football have one more thing in commonboth will fare better this season than most people might expect!

Presto. The Raiders now have a major college baseball facility.

"It has been a plus factor in all areas," said Gary Ashby, Tech's new baseball head coach.

While Tech's facilities have become respectable, there are plans to continuE the upgrading until the Raiders are playing in a first-rate park. Athletic Director John Conley said the project would include lights to bring twilight baseball to Tech.

More bleachers will be added until the park seats as many as 5,000. The total cost will be somewhere near $1 million.

Completion will hinge on the funds available in the coming years, Conley said.

"The basis is there now," Segrist said. "We built what we could with the funds available." Segrist is credited with being the brains and the brawn behind the new baseball facility.

Both Conley and Segrist said they rate the new field third best in the conference behind parks at the University of Texas and Texas A&M. They also said the old Tech field was the worst in the SWC. Perhaps the players appreciate the change most. They now have a respectable stadium in which to showcase their skills.

"It's certainly got to help our recruiting," Ashby said. "High school teams have been using the field for tournaments, and that's always very helpful."

The new facility is sure to help draw more fans to the games. At least they can watch the games in a comfortable

few years ago, about the only real way to know Texas Tech University had a baseball diamond was to pass by when they were playing. The field wasn't too distinguishable.

In fact, some would say the facility wasn't much more than an open field with a few lines and some bases.

Former coach Kal Segrist was one to say it.

"The old field was a c huckle, really. It was just a get-by type of situation. It was more of a football practice field."

Now, though, after $315,000 worth of renovation and improvement, the Raid32/SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 1983

ers have a facility they hope will upgrade the entire program from fan support to recruiting to team play.

The first step was to turn the field around and move it over so home plate now faces the southeast. Then, new bleachers with backs and seating 1,800 were added along with better dugouts.

A scoreboard with more functions was donated by United Supermarkets, and a security fence was placed around the entire complex.

"The old field is just no more," Segrist said. "The area is basically the same, but this one was built for baseball."

setting.

"I think more fans came out last season and were able to enjoy the games," Segrist said of his last year heading the Raiders. "We had some nice crowds on Sundays, particularly.

People who hadn't come out before have now started to take interest in Texas Tech baseball. The stadium had to be a drawing card."

One day-the dream goes-5,000 people will pack the Tech diamond to watch the Raiders play for the SWC championship. At night.

And no one will remember the old, wooden bleachers. rf'l

That era of women's athletics differs from today's "go for it" spirit, she said.

"Some people now berate women for holding other women back in the 1940s and 1950s. But that was the way at that time.

The slogan was 'a sport for every girl and every girl in a sport,' " Spears said. There was little support for the outstanding woman athletes.

Spears was at Tech addressing the love/ hate relationship between women and athletic excellence.

In the old days, trainers were known for one thing- tape. If an athlete hurt his leg, the trainer got the tape. An injured arm, more tape. Some athletes were wrapped up better than mummies.

Times have changed, though. Oh, trainers still use tape- and lots of it- but today there is more method to the madness.

"Techniques have really improved," Texas Tech head trainer Ken Murray said. "Before, you just taped people up and let them go.

You had to just feel and tell if the muscle was strong enough. Now, we have machines that tell us exactly when the muscle is strong enough to play."

Murray and his assistant trainer Dennis Pruss, along with several student trainers, are responsible for the care, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of Tech's athletes.

"Usually the janitor was the trainer in the old days," Murray said. "He could clean up wounds, tape ankles and do anything the team asked. Today, it has evolved so that more professional-type people are trainers."

In fact, today's trainers have to earn a license, much like a doctor or nurse. But Murray said, one common misconception about trainers is that they are doctors.

The main tools of the modern trainer are, ~ besides tape, medical-like muscle stimula§ tors, traction units and various other rehabili- u:l tation machines. ~ Lately, trainers and team doctors have C'i been under fire for allowing athletes to play before they fully recover. The Dallas Cowboys in 1981 let kicker Rafael Septien play the entire season before telling him he had Mock works with football player. an injured groin. Murray said the final decision always rests with the team doctor.

"I've been fortunate to never have had a coach who overstepped his bounds," he said. "It has never been one of these 'They've got to play no matter what' situaA vital key to an athlete's stability is preventions here at Tech. There is more to life than tive maintenance of his body.

Gymnasts: Those daring young men The way Wally Borchardt describes gymnastics, even a person who never has witnessed the sport can appreciate its merit.

"To feel the air fly past your ears and the wind rushing by you is the neatest feeling in the world," the Tech coach said. "You're in total control. There is very little keeping you from flying away."

Borchardt is no poet, but he gets the point across.

To members of the Tech Twisters, gymnastics isn't just another extra-curricular activity. It is an art, and they demonstrate that seriousness in every performance.

"One of the unique things about gymnastics is that you are the object," Borchardt said. "You are the ball. You propel yourself around horses, rings and bars. It's you and your body."

Gymnastics is a risky sport, and participants must deal with the potential for injury, even death.

"But that's fun," said former Tech gymnast Kellee Bowers. "It keeps you on your toes. Gynastics keeps your body in a lot better tone than most sports."

The Twisters have a slogan: "If you make the crowd gasp, you probably shouldn't be doing it. A trick should be performed, not survived."

Double T Dollsnot just a bunch of pretty faces While the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders lay claim to being "36 Most Beautiful Girls in the National Football League," the Tech Double T Dolls could make similar boasts around theSWC. However, these young women's physical attributes are only a small part of their numerous contributions to the Red Raider baseball program.

The Dolls were created to help promote the little known baseball season at Tech in 1977. And help it they have. The 1982 squad was named top bat-girl organization in the nation by Jugs Pitching Machines Co. and Collegiate Baseball Magazine.

According to Alfred White, assistant sports information director, the Dolls put up posters around town and do public service announcements and all types of promotions to bring greater attendance at Tech baseball games.

Through their various money-raisers around the community, the Dolls in 1982 were able to contribute $7,000 to the baseball program. More than 100 girls tried out for the 1983 squad of 15 positions.

Flying e xpands woman's horizons Flying may seem an expensive interest since an airplane has to be rented if you don't own your own. Costs are about $30 an hour flying time to rent a plane.

And, according to Mrs. Pat Marshall Cantrell '78, the average plane holds about 80 gallons of fuel (two tanks)- another expense.

But the Lubbock aviatrix maintains that compared to some other hobbies, such as scuba diving, the cost is not that exorbitant because you don't need special clothing or equipment.

"I have just given up some of those other things in order to fly. And that is why my husband and I do a lot of flying together," Mrs. Cantrell said.

As an architect, Bill Cantrell '51 has to travel with his job frequently, and his wife said they mix business with pleasure by flying to their destinations.

"But when it involves flying, it is mostly pleasure for me," Mrs. Cantrell said jokingly.

In addition to the sheer enjoyment, she feels her flying experiences help her expand on teaching earth science to sixth, seventh and eighth grade students at Frenship Junior High School. After all, so much of earth science concerns meteorology and the space program, she explained.

Mrs. Cantrell began flying in 1962 and got her private license four years ago. "I decided

to get my license because I had been navigating for 24 years and was tired of being left out of conversations."

Her husband has been flying since he was 16 years old and supports his wife's interest.

Mrs. Cantrell said her most thrilling experience as a pilot was a flight to Chicago. "I got to take off from Midway Airport in Chicago, which was very exciting," she said.

One of her favorite places to fly is El Paso because of the "beautiful mountains."

The aviatrix is adamant on safety. "A pilot never takes anything for granted because he or she is responsible for everything that goes on while in the air," she said.

Before sailing up "into the wild blue yonder" in her Beechcraft-Debonair singleengine airplane, the pilot first executes the "walk around," which is a checking procedure. This detailed exercise is performed each and every time Mrs. Cantrell or her husband takes the plane up.

The time element is a wonderful advantage of flying, according to Mrs. Cantrell, but she feels the greatest advantage is what you gain by the experience.

"I personally feel that it (flying) is a wonderful way to know of God's creation of earth and sky. From 5,000 to 12,000 feet, I have an appreciation that I never had before," she explained. (By Cindy Hoffman, Avalanche-Journal)

Football player-turned coach Rodney Allison confers on the sidelines during half-time of a Red Raider game.

Rodney Allison: Still in the game On one chilly Saturday afternoon in October 1977, the capacity crowd at Kyle Field in College Station was silent.

Midway through the second quarter of the Southwest Conference football showdown between powers Texas Tech and Texas A&M, the normally boisterous Aggie fans were quiet. The game was to be a battle between the tenacious Aggie defense and the high-powered Raider offense, which had set a conference record for rushing yardage in 1976.

Down on the field, a group of coaches and trainers were huddled around the prone figure of Tech quarterback Rodney Allison.

A round of applause went up from the crowd as Allison was helped from the field nursing an injured left knee.

With Allison out, the Raiders were unable to keep up with the emotionally charged Aggies and lost the game 38-21. Unbeaten going into the A&M contest, the Raiders struggled through the rest of the season, failing to live up to forecasts by football experts that the team would win the conference championship.

A legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate in his senior year at Tech, Allison was unable to play for the rest of the season, closing out his college career on a discouraging note.

Now, six years after finishing his playing eligibility, Allison '78 is still a fixture on the Tech sideline at each Red Raider football game. He is in his fourth year as a Tech assistant coach, working with running backs

and serving as Tech's main recruiter for West Texas and New Mexico.

As a coach, Allison retains much of the drive and intensity that made him o ne of the best option quarterbacks in the nation during his playing days.

In his opinion, the 1976 season, in which the Raiders shared the SWC co-championship with the University of Houston, was the highlight of his playing career.

He added that his injury-shortened senior year was as frustrating as the previous year was glorious.

"It was really tough not being able to play that year," Allison said. "We had so many high expectations and we were really ready to show people what a great team we had.

Still, every player takes the chance that he'll be injured each time he goes out on the field. It's part of the game."

Allison continued his playing career for one year as a quarterback with Toronto in the Canadian Football League, but he said he did not actually hope for a career in pro football.

"Pro ball is every player's dream, but I was realistic enough to see that not many quarterbacks with my lack of size and weight ever get to play in the NFL. I knew I wanted to stay in football in some capacity, so I turned to coaching. I don't have any regrets."

Allison is married to the former Susan Segrist '79, and they reside in Lubbock. (By Jeff Tinnell '83)

Riding high . .. on a champion cutter It's not often that one can lay claim to helping make a national champion. So when someone does have that opportunity, it's big news. Such is the case with Bruce and Patti Slaughter '80.

Last fall, the Kermit couple traveled to Oklahoma City to compete in the World Championship Appaloosa Halter & Performance Show. Bruce exhibited Bluehawk's Silver Bell, owned by Kermit rancher J. L. Slaughter of the Lazy S Ranch.

The horse was named the 1982 World Champion Appaloosa C utting Horse, and as 1 Bruce put it, "It was an exciting moment."

Silver Bell defeated 35 other senior cutting horses from across the country.

Silver Bell is a 16-year-old blue roan mare out of quarterhorse mare India King and an Appaloosa stallion, Son of Quanah's Blue· hawk. The Slaughters raised the national champion from a colt.

EDITOR'S NOTEBOOK

Philosopher, speaker and builder of men

By Gerry Burton or Texas Techsans, past and present, Berl Huffman always will be a coach connected with the only time (1939) the Red Raiders made the Cotton Bowl. Lubbockites still recall how he coached the Lubbock High Westerners to the best state finish ever, a team that lost the crown 12-6 after playing four games in 10 days while opponent Abilene rested_ But for thousands of men-some he has never known- Huffman is the person who turned their lives around for the better and set their feet toward success in both life and career.

Not a week passes at the Huffman home without a voice from the past bringing a long overdue tribute-to the coach and to the man making hundreds of speeches a year to high school and civic audiences.

Tangible tributes cover two walls of the home, honors topped by the Distinguished American Award from the West Texas Chapter of the National Football Foundation for the National Hall of Fame laurels to Huffman, "who has carried the lessons learned on the football field into a life of service to the community."

Other plaques came from the Texas Tech Hall of Fame, Ex-Students Association and the 1964 KSEL G reat American award, presented by Paul Harvey to "a man with dedication and sense of humor contagious to whomever he meets."

Scouts, school groups, chambers of commerce, civic clubs and others have lauded him not only as a football, basketball and track coach, but as a "coach of life" and a "philosopher, speaker and builder of men."

Helping bring all the honors and "a great joy" for Huffman over the years was his life partner, Zelia Riegel Huffman.

A native of Palmyra, Mo., she came to teach physical education at Tech in its third year of existence. She taught every sport including basketball, swimming and folk dancing, as well as riding. She started archery and field hockey at Tech.

Her field hockey team played all the big traveling teams in the nation and her riding prowess put her in western gear in the Panhandle-South Plains Fair parade a few weeks after her 1928 arrival.

A few years later, she had to share the college's only gymnasium with the men's coach, Huffman, a native of Grapevine, who had lettered in football, basketball and track three years at Trinity University when it was at Waxahachie.

The two coaches were married and still make all the Red Raider games, with Huffman now doing his quarterbacking while the plays unfold down on the field.
