Today's University Library in the Information Age

By Dr. E. Dale Cluff

Director of Libraries

he

idea of making information resources electronically available to a wide audience-creating "libraries without walls"-is discussed frequently in the library profession these days. It is the subject of meetings and workshops at library conferences at the state and national levels. The concept, which fits the pattern of the information era, is sound.

During Texas Tech's 63-year history, the University Libraries expanded in an effort to meet the demands of thousands of eager minds. When Tech opened in 1925, the Library consisted of one room in the present Administration Building. In 1938, it moved to the new Library (now the Mathematics Building), where it remained until 1962. In that year, the first half of the present Library was completed and occupied. Ten years later, the second half was constructed and put into use.

With a total now of 351,000 square feet, the libraries (consisting of the Main Library, Southwest Collection and Special Collections) have highly professional staffs, rich resources of more than one million volumes, nearly one million U.S. government documents, two-thirds of a million pieces of microform, 16.5 million manuscripts, over 9,000 periodical subscriptions, and many other sources of information. In addition, in 1974, Tech joined the Online Computer Library Center ( OCLC), the largest bibliographic utility in the world. This affiliation provides a cataloging database of more than 16 million records, and makes it possible to share resources with over 4,000 other libraries. As a result, scholars from throughout the United States and the international academic community are attracted by the research capabilities of the Tech Libraries. Some sources are available nowhere else.

But, the University Libraries cannot afford to rest on such laurels. Dr. Lauro E Cavazos, president of Texas Tech, has stated a major priority of the University is to increase the quality of teaching and learning; that philosophy has been unequivocally supported by the Board of Regents. To achieve this goal, the Libraries must not only keep pace with the explosion of knowledge, but must stay well ahead of it.

Our aim in the Libraries is to gradually decrease the need for the researcher to go to the collections while at the same time increase the opportunity for the researcher to receive his/ her needed information from a remote location. Certainly, we don't want anyone to think that he/ she is not welcome in the Libraries. On the contrary. We recognize the value of browsing the collections and interacting with knowledgeable librar-

ians and archivists. However, there is much that a researcher can do from a remote location which can save time and increase productivity.

One major tool to assist the researcher from a remote location is the personal computer. Once online access to the catalogued items in the Libraries is a reality, a rich bibliographic resource will open for the information seeker. The Southwest Collection recently installed a computerized data access system; staff are currently inputting records to provide ease of access to that valuable collection.

A computer catalog, providing remote access capabilities, is also on the horizon for the Main Library. The Library's online catalog will offer the opportunity for remote access to the hundreds of thousands of titles in its collection. The bibliographic information for over 85 percent of the Library's collection is currently machine readable. This state of readiness means that as soon as the money is available and the appropriate software are selected, the Library's catalog will be available to the researcher who has the appropriate equipment and telecommunications system. Public access terminals will be placed · throughout the Libraries as well.

A library is never "finished." New publications are issued daily, and new advances in technology make it possible to acquire, store, retrieve and present these materials more effectively. Library resources must keep pace . with m?der~ scholarship and library technology if the Untverstty is to achieve its goal of excellence. We are committed to keeping the Libraries on the "cutting edge."

LEITERS Mortar Board Guarantee On behalf of Mortar Board, I would like to thank you for allowing Dana Bell and myself the opportunity to attend the luncheon in your building for campus leaders. I guarantee that Mortar Board will do its part to stay in contact with and give back to Texas Tech what it has given to us.

Sincerely Kreg Bryant Mortar Board President

BAR Not His Degree I noticed in your class notes section you incorrectly abbreviate a Bachelor of Architecture degree as "BAR" Anyone who has successfully completed Mr. McCutchan's Professional Practice course knows the correct abbreviation is B. Arch. He made sure we knew how to abbreviate our degrees by asking the question on each test.

Thanks, Timothy Amrhein '84 Tempe, Ariz.

(NOTE: With apologies to Mr. McCutchan. We are at the mercy of a computer system that allows only three letters in the degree field. Since all of our other degrees have to fit into three spaces, and to maintain consistency, we use BAR.)

Pride and the Texas Techsan It's not easy for me to say I'm a Tech-ex. Rest assured that I'm very proud to be a Texas Tech graduate. But quite frankly, it's the "Ex" part I don't care for.

Wee many Tech graduates, I participate in the Ex-Students Association.

And like many, I receive literature in the form of letters and The Texas Techsan magazine, encouraging financial commitments for the University's programs. But just look at their format- The Texas Techsan itself is riddled with "Exes" everywhere. We as "ex-students" are expected to take pride in our school. Well let me ask you this: How many people take pride in their ex-girlfriends/ex-boyfriends, ex-spouses, ex-bosses, ex-roommates, ex-convicts, etc.? How many people are proud to say that a sizeable amount of their salary goes to the ex-spouse in alimony and child support payments?

"Ex" is not exactly a four-letter word, but it is a negative.

Let's go back to pride. It's an essential part of Texas Tech. The Texas 2 JANUARY-FEBRUARY 1988

Techsan, despite its many "exes," is very much a part of that pride.

Creatively written, it's very title has a wonderful play on words-Texas Tech· san. Just imagine introducing yourself to a group of people: " Hi, I'm Lauro Cavazos and I'm a Texas Techsan, class of '49," versus this: "Hi, I'm Lauro Cavazos and I'm a Tech-ex, class of '49." My (very biased) opinion is for the first introduction; it flows better and it's positive.

There are a number of reasons why I prefer to be a Techsan rather than a Tech-ex: - "Techsan" reflects a deep commit· ment, a living commitment to this University. Four years of hard study and work, along with the trials and joys of college life, deserves a reward. After four years of being Red Raiders, upon graduating, we're suddenly Ex-Students, Tech-exes. Nowhere in my diploma do I see a divorce decree. On the contrary, with diploma in hand, we've become bona fide Texas Techsans.

-Not all Texas Techsans live in Texas-many have chosen careers throughout the U.S. and the world. It takes a special kind of person to represent both the State of Texas and Texas Tech. These Techsans through their work, fellowship and community service promote Tech at its best. In doing so, they inspire others to consider attending college in Texas. They are Tech's finest ambassadors.

-Symbolically, "Techsan" signifies Texas heritage enriched by an education gained at Texas Tech.

- "Techsan" does not limit itself to Texas Tech alumni. Many a Texan although not receiving a degree from Tech, continue to support the University through endowments and volunteer efforts.

- Financial support is critical, now that Texas Tech faces the challenge of a depressed economy. To maintain quality programs, faculty and staff, more than ever, Tech needs a good campaign approach. A positive way of obtaining funds from Tech graduates is by addressing them as Techsans; making them feel like they are a proud and very vital part of the Tech spirit.

The only use for "(E)X" is to mark the warm spot in our hearts where Texas Tech dreams live, where they become a reality.

Let me end this in an unconventional manner. I'd like to introduce myself: "Hi, I'm Maricela Carter and I'm a

Texas Techsan, class of 1980.'. Now I like the positive sound of that!

Yours sincerely, Maricela Carter '80 Vancouver, Washington

Service Award Honor The International Fraternity of Delta Sigma Pi would like to thank the ExStudents Association for the Outstanding Community Service Award. The acceptance of this award is a real honor for the fraternity.

Last semester, we had a blood drive for the United Blood Services, and the chapter participated in a Fun Run in November. Funds raised from the run went to the Lubbock State School.

Again, we want to thank you for the Community Service Award.

Sincerely, Debbie Huie Delta Sigma Pi Secretary

Making a Difference As I think back over the Top Techsan ceremony and luncheon, I am most grateful. The words of recognition were generous and kind. Texas Tech University and the Career Planning & Placement Center have proven to be quite extraordinary for me. The oppor· tunities to contribute and to "make a difference" have been most significant and both professionally and personally rewarding.

It is great to be able to work in an area of interest and conviction. Our profession and our office have provided that for me and 1TU has given me the platform for working toward some very important goals.

I thank the Ex-Students Association for your part in the Top Techsan Recognition program and for the beautifully scripted summary of the nomination letters. The plaque will be well displayed and the check will be put to good use! I am honored and humbled ~o have been one of this year's recip · tents.

Sincerely, Mary B. Simon Assistant Director Career Planning & Placement Office

The Most Important Ingredient To Building A Successful University It takes perseverance, commitment, and foresight to create a thriving university. But a growing school also needs people. People, like llah Merriman, who have the knowledge and dedication it takes to mold these ingredients into a great institution. As Chief Executive Officer of H&..R Block of Houston, llah is able to appreciate what her education from Texas Tech has given her. And by contributing to the University through one of several endowment programs, llah has helped to further Tech's growth. ''I'm very proud to have gone to Texas Tech. I think it's the best school anyone can attend."

Now it's time you help shape the future of Texas Tech University which has helped to shape your own. Through the Ex-Students Association, you can contribute to academic scholarships with a tax deductible contribution.

Benefit Casino Night raises endow-111ent funds·

By Susie Duffy, Dallas area field representative

b e Ex-Students Association Dallas chapter hosted its third annual Benefit Casino Night on Nov. 14 to an enthusiastic crowd of over 300 Tech exes and friends at the Grand Ballroom of downtown Union Station.

Party-goers enjoyed an evening of blackjack, craps, roulette and horse racing under archways of red and black balloons decorating the renovated train station. In addition to gaming, the evening offered live and silent auctions with prizes valued at over $10,000, and door prizes drawn throughout the evening.

The purpose of all the fun and games is, of course, serious business-scholarship fund raising.

Chapter President Mike Gallagher '72 reports, "Every year that we can donate an additional $5,000 to the Endowment Fund speaks well for the Dallas chapter."

Successful casino parties in 1985 and 1986 established a $10,000 endowment as part of the Ex-Students Association permanent scho-

larship fund. Revenue from Benefit Casino Night 1987 will add $5,000 to this fund, and in the spring, the chapter will award Tech scholarships to several Dallas area high school seniors.

The Nov. 14 party was the result of five months of hard work and planning by a dedicated band of volunteers. Led by chairman Gina Swenson '84, the prize committee solicited prize donations from businesses throughout Texas. Highlights of the silent auction included a ski trip for two to Crested Butte, donated by Old World Travel and Adventure Tour; a trip for two to Las Vegas, donated by Tri-World Travel; and luxury weekend accommodations at most of the finer Dallas hotels.

Committee members Lisa Swenson '82, Suzie Morrison '86, Melanie Hill '85, Swift lindley '85 and Laura Fields '86 also collected donations of sporting goods, furniture, electronics, art, restaurant gift certificates and cases of Texas wine for both the live and silent auc-

tions, as well as door prizes and the raffle item-a color pencil drawing valued at $1,000 donated

by Texas Tech/ Dallas artist Brad Johnson.

"It took a lot of hard work, but the hard work was well worth it when you think in terms of the scholarship money raised," said Gina Swenson.

Chapter treasurer john Wilson '87 added, "Being a recent graduate and having been a scholarship recipient, I now understand and appreciate the hard work by the alumni that goes into fund raising."

Another success of Benefit Casino Night 1987 was the amount of underwriting and services donated before the event. David Thomas '83 worked on the underwriting committee with Mike Gallagher and jerry jackson '81.

Thomas said, "Even in the present economic climate, Texas Tech exes showed outstanding support. This reinforces my commitment to help keep the Tech spirit alive and well."

Russell Huber and his date, Sidney, join juli and Kary Taylor and others at one of the many game tables.

Not only did Tech supporters come through with over $4,000 in financial donations, many services were also donated. The program, beautifully designed and typeset by Gordon Blocker Inc., was printed with the help of David Foley '84 and Big D Quality Printing. Colorful computer-generated signs displayed throughout the evening were provided by Mike Fitch '74 of Executive Presentation Systems.

Fitch also worked on the ticket sales committee along with Tony Johann '84, Rob LaMaster '79, and chairman Laurie Johnson '81. Hours of phone calls over the weeks preceding the event brought in lots of new faces to this year's party.

Cindy Conner '80, chairman of the arrangements committee, adds her impression of Benefit Casino Night 1987: ''We had such a variety of ages this year. We had a good group."

With all the months of hard work involved, were the volunteers

able to enjoy the evening? Laurie Johnson, who brought along her parents as well as her fiance, James Maddux '84, answered the question this way: "My mother says that

any time you can get my father to stay out past midnight, you know he's having a great time."

Mr. Johnson was seen leaving the party at 1 a.m. l£

The Perfect Graduation Gift Looking for a unique graduation gift for their son, Andrew, Mr. and Mrs. Rex Aycock of Lubbock decided on the ultimate Texas Tech present. They have donated Sl 00 to the Tech Loyalty Fund in his name, enabling Andy to be a member of the Century Club.

Andy, a December 1987 graduate in finance, was very active

while at Tech, serving as president of the Saddle Tramps and member of several other groups.

Andy's father, Rex '57, is an attorney with the Lubbock firm of McCluskey, Harriger, Brazill & Graf, and was a member of several other organizations. Andy's mother, Bonnie, is Art Department Resource Center director and

librarian and curator at Tech.

Rex commented that since Texas Tech has meant so much to the Aycock family, the Century Club gift seemed like a "natural." "Our family is keenly aware of the programs and projects sponsored by the Ex-Students Association-especially the support provided in the form of academic scholarships for deserving students. We also feel that it is important that Tech graduates get involved as soon as possible in helping to keep that support ongoing."

Membership in the Century Club entitles the contributor to receive the man's lapel pin and the woman's stick pin, the marble Century Club paper weight, the window decal and an invitation to the Century Club dinner and dance held during Homecoming weekend.

(If you are interested in giving your graduate a Century Club membership, contact Jim Douglass at 806 / 742-3641 for inclusion in this ongoing ad.)

Discover the Explorium A hands-on exhibit, the new Explorium in the Tech museum is a permanent discovery room and resource center. ~y~~Ym}ZO.~--------------------------------------------------------~ Prehistoric creatures climb on the walls. Replicas which for years were shrouded in darkness emerge to be seen and touched. Young scientists hunch over microscopes to examine their findings.

The Explorlum at the Museum of Texas Tech University includes discoveries from the farthest comers of the universe and the innermost comers of the museum to the curious comers of the imagination-all within hands' reach.

A hands-on permanent exhibit, the Explorium includes a mural depicting the progression of life on earth, items from the museum's collections for holding and viewing closely and resource materials for studying and identifying a variety of objects.

"The Explorium is designed to be a place for people to come and see all the museum collections represented in a way that allows them to get a close-up view," said Gary Edson, museum director. "It is a place for exploration and investigation according to a person's interest."

The Explorium is the first phase of development of the DeVitt Wing into permanent exhibit areas.

Other developments planned over the next 10 years include a Taos/ Southwest art gallery, an ethnohistory gallery, an exhibit of preColumbian art and areas for history, clothing, archaeology, natural history and paleontology.

Funding for the Explorium was provided by the private sector and predominantly from the children of

mesa, providing fewer resources and smaller animals. The settlement of the Texas South Plains is marked by a camp scene and settlers traveling in a covered wagon to live and work on the Plains. .Edson and David Dean, assistant director for operations, designed and painted the mural over the past 18 months.

20 Years Ago at Tech Current student examines the Tech of the late '60s

By Laura Ann Kardaras

l

was a different world 20 years ago. Free and pointed expression of ideas and ideals through everything from graffiti to demonstrations was prevalent among students on college campuses across the nation.

At Texas Tech, however, the beginning of the "Hippie Era" found students vocalizing more about internal policy than national politics.

Students from 20 years ago will remember some of the following issues, news items and "happenings" of the time.

• Te.ch's enrollment was incre~­ ing, so campus expansion was evident everywhere · one looked.

Barracks were commonplace, for both offices and classes, and offered the student all the luxuries experienced by the army recruit!

• There were classes six days a week lasting an hour each. As Dr. Jim Harper, associate professor of history, said, "There's nothing like trying to keep your class attentive on the Saturday of Homecoming."

• Two name changes occurred during this time. First, and easiest, College Avenue was changed to University Avenue following the long and hotly debated name change from Texas Technological College to Texas Tech University.

"I recall that a crowd would be much more likely to gather to argue the new name of the University than to debate national policy," Harper said. "It finally came down to either Texas State University or Texas Tech University, and each was hotly debated."

• A graffiti wall on the temporary fencing at the construction site of the Chemistry Building became a sounding (off) board for many students. Opinions on subjects ranging from the Vietnam War to the housing policy at Tech were 12 JANUARY·FEBRUARY 1988

widely expressed.

"I remember, particularly, the graffiti in the bathroom at J. Patrick O'Malleys," said former Tech student June Gould. "I think they had to paint it once a month! And I'll

never forget walking to my first class each morning and seeing the campus police with their cans of black spray paint, censoring out all the obscenities on the graffiti walls."

Students march in protest of the Board of Regents' choice of Texas Tech University for the new name of the University. 1bese students and faculty preferred Texas State University and were demanding an audience with President Grover Murray to have their reasons beard.

1bere was more to the Graffiti Wall than what was painted on it as this student demonstrates, looking through a knot bole. '

that the students live there." ' The housing controversy led the Student Senate to authorize Student Association President Max Blakney to contact the Texas Civil Liberties Union for legal aid.

"Students felt that if they were old enough to be drafted and fight in Vietnam, they were certainly old enough to choose where they wanted to live," said Dr. Kenneth Davis, professor of English. ' On the sporting scene, the Red Raiders went to Austin and beat the Texas Longhorns on their own turf, 31-22, then did the same thing to A&M, 21-16. ' Partly due to his football prowess and leadership, John Scovell was selected as Mr. Texas Tech.

' Student behavior was monitored closely through dorm proctors and the dreaded ODAs and ODis (obvious displays of affection arid intoxication). Three ODAs, for instance, got a student "cam~ pu~d." . . . • The prevalence of arumals on campus was great, with some students even bringmg their dogs or pets to classes with them. .

• Off-campus, the situation in the state of Te~ was· basically good.

The Texas Legislature passed a law requiring pictures on driver's licenses, the economy was thriving, and the cost of education was low.

Far fewer students had jobs while in college because of the combined good economy and the low cost of education.

While Vietnam raged across the continent, tempers raged on the Tech campus. Riots broke out on college campuses nationwide, but at this University, at least, the r~n was non-political.

Eizabeth Skidmore Sasser is an artist, but her voice is her brush.

The slides she has taken on her world journeys are but half the picture. Her words complete each frame and beckon the eager listener to enter the atrium of St. Peter's or to rest in a cool adobe mission. She is a teacher. Her students from the past 38 years at Texas Tech will attest that she is outstanding among professors.

Since beginning her work in the Division of Architecture at Tech in 1949, Sasser has developed at least 11 of the courses in history of art now on the curriculum of the College of Architecture. Prior to the separation of design from architecture, she taught watercolor and drawing as well as art history.

She and her husband have traveled in Europe, Thrkey, Mexico and the southwest United States to make slides for history of architecture classes. She has made movies for her students. She spends many hours preparing lectures for the classroom and often for the campus at large and the community.

She has donated much time and energy to the Texas Tech Museum and has involved herself in campus affairs via the Faculty Senate and various committees and councils.

What is it that distinguishes her among professors? Certainly her great commitment to her work is evident in the list above and in her seven-page vita, but are these activities the essence of what makes her a memorable teacher?

If you have ever been one of her students, you might remember that she dressed like an artist-with bold novelty, but not gaudiness. Or perhaps you remember that she spoke like a scholar-with carefully 14 JANUARY-FEBRUARY 1988

chosen, but not esoteric words.

Maybe you remember her lectures, her contagious enthusiasm admitting you into every Byzantine church and every Indian pueblo through the slides she had made especially for you. Most likely, you remember that she seemed to love teaching and most importantly, she cared about you and desired that you succeed.

She delights in keeping in touch with her former students. One such, Robert Batson, who is now director of the architecture education program at Skyline High School in Dallas, returned recently to Sasser's classroom-on the other side of the podium. This time he showed the slides and Sasser listened to the lecture.

"Robert spent the summer in China a year ago," Sasser said. "He went out into the country where most visitors never go. It was a very, very delightful thing for students to see something that differs so much from the usual visitor's slides."

She spoke well of several other former students, including Steve Oles, who she said is "particularly splendid" at architectural drafting and drawing and has begun a national organization, the American Society for Architectural Perspectivists (A.SA.P.), for those interested in architectural drawing.

Sasser's daughter, Lisa, is also one of her former stud~nts. She now works for The Preservation Training Center, a branch of the National Park Service, in Williamsport, Md. Lisa travels often across the U.S. to architectural sites deemed worthy of restoration.

"It's really a very exciting career," Sasser said. "The center deals with training craftsmen in the traditional method-all kinds of things, like making shutters ana building stone walls. She supervises workers currently, but she came up the hard way and learned how to do all those things herself.

"I like people; I like students," Sasser said. "If you teach, you are involved with people. And from

that standpoint, I find it very rewarding to write about people whose work I personally like and believe in. It is not only pleasant for me to do, but it is helpful for someone else as well. I think that is what teaching is all about."

Sasser added that she will not write about work she does not care for or believe in, but will only take on what she feels is excellent art or architecture.

One student whose work she likes and believes in is Richard Payne, an architect and nationally known photographer. He is recognized particularly for his architectural photography. So well appreciated is his work that the French government invited him to Paris, where he spent from August 1986 to January 1987 at the American Center there. Sasser's article about him, titled "Richard Payne's Unfinished Sentences," appeared in the January/ February issue of Texas Architect.

Sasser teaches both Pre- and Post-Columbian architecture and uses the slides of architecture and art they photographed in Mexico, New Mexico and Texas, She enjoys not only the art of the primitive cultures, but also that of

ture the essentiality of what one sees.

"For example, the skeletal forms that take on such tremendous beauty when she paints them.

Beauty in the sparseness, the spareness of the landscape. It is the difference between seeing that which is beautiful in the very spare character of the land as opposed to the lushness of the tropic landscape or the smoothness of the hills in the East," she said.

"There is a certain reverence for life-I think one sees the same sort of thing in Indian art, in the handsomeness of the simple designs of the blankets, the pottery, the adobe architecture, an architecture made out of the earth and then, when deserted, that goes back to the earth."

Her diverse tastes are reflected in her office decor, which could perhaps be described as a memorial collage dedicated to her professors and students. The walls are lovingly cluttered with artwork and photographs ranging from watercolors to a life-size cardboard cutout of Chewbaca, the Star Wars character.

Sasser said, "If you teach history, you have to have this diverse taste,

"Probably the very happiest thing about teaching, and really the most important thing, is the success of one's students ... We've been fortunate at Texas Tech to have quite remarkable students."

-Elizabeth Sasser the modem Southwest. The art of the Southwest, she said, has distinguishing traits that make it quite different from the art of other parts of the country.

"I like to think of Georgia O'Keefe's work as having all the characteristics of art in the Southwest: marvelous color; the abstract character of the landscape; the crispness, cleanness of line; the · clarity of light; the ability to cap-

because you teach how one period relates to another and you find what is excellent in each."

In her own history are periods into which she classifies her lifetime· phases and events. She grew up in Ohio. She said she has always wanted to be an artist. When a child, she once expressed her early-blossoming artistic ingenuity by tearing out a magazine picture

and coloring all the roses blue.

Sasser studied art in college, graduating from the Columbus School of Fine Arts in 1941, and then received three degrees (BFA, MA and Ph.D.) from Ohio State University in the four years following.

"It was a time just after my mother's death," Sasser said. "My mother and I were very close, and I suppose I survived by concentrating on study. I worked immensely hard and enjoyed every minute of it, but it was a period of intensive study."

After earning her Ph.D., she began teaching at Marshall College in Huntington, W.V., where she married Thomas Sasser, one of her students.

She met the late Professor Florian Kleinschmidt, who was chairman of the department of architecture at Tech, at a conference in Boston. He asked her to come teach at Texas Tech within 10 minutes of having met her. She thought he was kidding and did not expect to hear from him again.

But two weeks later, she received a letter again requesting that she move to Lubbock from West Vrrginia where she was teaching her first year.

"I wasn't very interested because .

I was getting married," Sasser said.

"But a year later I received another JANUARY-FEBRUARY 1988

letter. We decided to come to Texas that time. I had always wanted to live in Texas; I always liked the shape of the state-as a child I thought it was the most interesting state on the map. And I've never been the least sorry that we came."

The lack of a lush landscape and big-city entertainment in Lubbock does not trouble her.

"I love the climate, and the land and the sky that make the land· scape," she said. "There are not as many distractions here, so one can concentrate on what one wants to do. And the people have always been one of its leading attractions.

They're known for their friendli· ness."

Five years after the Sassers moved to Texas, Lisa was born. As conscientious as Sasser is about her work, she did not take on extra responsibilities at the expense of her family. She set her priorities carefully and lived by them.

"I have always felt that I've had two careers," she said. "One of them involved making a home and bringing up our daughter, and this was tremendously important; and the other was teaching."

Sasser said that during the years Lisa was growing up and then in college at Tech, she did not 16 JANUARY-FEBRUARY 1988

attempt to write much or travel great distances_ for speaking engagements, although she gave many talks on campus.

"I took advantage of everything I could on campus," she said. "When we traveled, and we did travel a lot during the summer, we did it as a family."

Now that Lisa has graduated, Sasser has entered the present phase of her life. She has begun to write seriously, devoting more time to visiting exhibitions for reviews and critical writing.

Teaching still demands the bulk of her time. She said teaching history requires constant reading and revising of courses. She spent 20 years working on her course in the history of Oriental architecture before she offered it.

"So you see, these courses don't just come out of the air. You spend a lifetime working on a course before you feel it is in a condition that is worth presenting to the students," she said.

When she retires, she hopes to continue teaching a class and plans to write books as well as articles, Sasser said. She and her husband want also to keep working with photography and video. She enjoys the present fully, yet welcomes the possibilities the future holds.

"The only thing we can be certain of in life is change," Sasser said. "What disappoints me most is for students to come back expect· ing to find the College of Architecture exactly like it was when they left, and students who stop growing and stop being excited about things when they graduate. There is nothing worse, in my opinion, than never growing or evolving or changing."

Sasser is not impressed with those who loathe new developments. She said, "People who see nothing exciting or interesting in new architectural· developments or new manners of painting and who complain about and criticize these things because they are not like they were, really annoy me terribly."

Although one might expect a history professor to be enamored of the past, she enjoys watching history in the making. Sasser is not horrified by the new architectural style- Post Modernism. She approaches it by trying to determine what it says about this period we live in.

"It embraces a funny kind of Neoclassical Revival," she said. "It is entertaining and can be cliche and superficial, but it is charming when one considers that one is not building for eternity anymore- one can afford to adopt a cliche when one knows it will not last."

Sasser said she has realized she probably could have been fairly successful as an artist, for she was exhibiting some of her work before she began studying history of art and then chose to teach. But she is not sorry about her choice.

"I have friends who have asked me what I do that's creative. And I say, 'Well, teaching.' I have no regrets about where I've concentrated. I have always been very satisfied with teaching. I love it. I think there are lots of second-rate artists. One might as well be a firstrate teacher."

Her students agree. [!

#2: Dr. Bradford Knapp 1932-38 BYJAMES G. ALLEN

l

is a matter of speculation now, as it was in 1932, why Dr. Bradford Knapp, president of Alabama Polytechnic Institute and former president of Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College, accepted the presidency of Texas Technological College.

Going into its seventh year, Tech was the West Texas stepchild of a higher education system which was facing serious problems growing out of a deepening economic depression.

The invitation coming when he was almost 62 years old, it looked as if he was making some kind of retreat. For although its name clearly identified it as the kind of institution he had headed in his two previous presidencies, Texas Technological College was in fact a liberal arts college with schools of agriculture, engineering and home economics. Its enrollment was largely in the school of arts and sciences.

Agriculture had held a full place in Dr. Knapp's early professional experience-as head of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, an assignment in which he had continued the pioneering work of his father, Seaman Knapp, the founder of agricultural extension, and as dean of agriculture at Arkansas.

Perhaps he retained some sense of the disappointment he understandably might have felt when Paul W Hom rather than he, also in consideration though not officially an applicant, had been chosen as Texas Tech's first president. Or perhaps it was that he saw an opportunity to correct what he may have construed as President Hom's mistake in shifting Texas Tech's emphasis to liberal

arts from the technological for which it had been designated by the Texas Legislature that had created it.

Whatever the reason, his coming would seem to have been timed fortunately to accord with a depression whose economy was more and more restricting higher educational programs to the essentials and away from the frills. He heartily supported the concept of a useful education, one that led to a job after graduation. He spoke out clearly and with dignity for the technological training which, with its basic structure, Texas Tech was equipped, at least minimally, to provide its students.

It is worth our noting that Dr. Knapp inaugurated no major changes in the way in which Texas Tech was being run when he became its president. He accepted the administrative format he found when he arrived, surprising when we remember that his two previous presidencies were of older and larger colleges, both techno-

logically oriented.

He could not have found the administrative procedures at Texas Tech of comparable quality. But if he was not pleased with what he found the operation here to be, he gave no indication of his disapproval. Dr. Knapp could not have been happy with it. The Council of Deans, in effect, ran Texas Tech. It was comprised of the deans of the four academic schools, the dean of women and the registrar. The dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, by far the largest of the four schools, was chairman. An obvious improvisation to meet an emergency, the Council of Deans had, with the passage of time, become accepted as permanent.

And it had gradually extended its jurisdiction far beyond the areas in which its members had administrative responsibility. They exerted control in almost all of the college's operations. When as dean of men I became a member of the Council of Deans in 1937, I learned that they set all the policies that governed student conduct and activity, even though I had been led to believe that I was directly responsible to the president. No college problem was too large or too small to merit their attention.

For the most part, he permitted them to continue their assumed responsibility for directing a broader range of the college's affairs than they had been assigned originally. It is significant that Dr. Knapp was willing to work with any procedure that showed acceptable results.

Perhaps both his legal training and his long experience working with national agricultural agencies JANUARY-FEBRUARY 1988

had taught him to discover and respect where the power lay. Dr. Knapp knew, as did every interested faculty and staff member on the campus, that the business manager had the attentive and approving ear of the chairman of our board of directors, a banker in a nearby small town. Those two talked the same language. Dr. Knapp recognized and accepted this alignment.

But he had the capacity for courageous decision, a quality that, strangely enough, very significantly affected my own career. When in the late spring of 1937 the Texas Tech College budget as approved by the State Legislature for the coming biennium was examined, to the surprise of everyone, staff places for a dean and an assistant dean of men were discovered to have been included. Neither position had been requested in the budget as submitted. Even with assurance that the depression was coming to an end, no request for administrative expansion that required salary allocation would have been requested, justifiable as these additions might have seemed.

Later it was decided that these two places had been added to our budget request by the legislator for our district. It was assumed that 18 JANUARY·FEBRUARY 1988

his purpose was to ffil the top position himself, the other to go to his colleague and close friend.

In late June, Dr. Knapp's secretary called me for an appointment with the president. My understandable concern was somewhat abated when, after opening our conference with a few pleasantries, Dr. Knapp asked me if I would be willing to accept the position of dean of men. When I recovered from my surprise, I expressed reservation on leaving the teaching position in which I felt I was doing well.

Dr. Knapp then asked me to think it over before making my final decision, citing an annual salary for 12 months that exceeded

My final reaction to the proposal President Knapp had made me was somewhat conditioned by my evaluation of him as being studentoriented. I knew him to be aware of and sensitive to how students felt and reacted. The energy which he had exerted in getting our first two residence halls and the warmth with which he had welcomed the National Youth Administration program to Texas Tech were but two instances in which he had evidenced this disposition.

When the move to eliminate duplication in Texas higher education became a major threat to Texas Tech, he had called the students together in a convocation at which he pledged an all-out campaign to keep Texas Tech intact. I had been quite impressed by the dignity and strength with which he urged the students to hold steady.

It was obvious that Dr. Knapp felt he was paying me a compliment in offering me the position of dean of men. His offer reflected his approval of my demonstrated interest in student affairs, highlighted by my having served for seven years as coach of men's tennis, without pay, of course.

Later I concluded with some feeling of certainty that the business manager, with whom I had developed a friendship, had suggested me to Dr. Knapp for the new position. For when I gave him the opportunity to deny having done so, he expressed the hope that he had done me no disservice, a reference I later concluded to have been to the political over·

He made no reference to any political implications in the establishment of the position.

tones of the new set-up. Only with this remark did I become aware of the full implication of Dr. Knapp's offer, which I ultimately accepted with understandable reservations.

Dr. Knapp had no personal motive in his placing the students at the center of his thinking on higher education. He evidenced no intent to exploit them in his position as president. In the main, students who were enrolled in Texas Tech from 1932-38 do not remember him as a person, or that they had any personal relationship with him. They remember the student convocations at which he spoke, but recall no specific event or instance in which he related himself to them as individuals.

They remember him as impersonal and objective.

His eloquent defense of our college before a state legislature that was intent on diminishing it may be one of Texas Tech's finest hours. All he had learned as a lawyer he called into play as he fought to maintain Texas Tech as the college it had become. His success paid us great dividends.

Dr. Knapp's quiet seriousness in the day-to-day process of higher education was compatible with the minimal emphasis he placed on the externalities of college life. Even now it comes as a surprise to note in his vita membership in a social fraternity. Unlike his predecessor, he set as acceptable a minimum social pace for both faculty and students. Except on rare occasions, the president's home was no longer the scene for faculty and student events. In the main, his wife restricted her interest to the simplest and most fundamental household activities.

Faculty affairs were now regularly held in the lounge or dining

that grew out of academic and service activities.

He was a big man physically. His posture bespoke a man in full control. He made you feel that being a college president was a physical thing. His quiet geniality made him approachable. His softspokenness went well with the simplicity of his expression. lf he lacked subtlety, he offered openness and exactness as compensation. No one would, or could, suspect him of ulterior purpose, of his being anything other than what he appeared to be. He was at home on the range of West Texas.

funds for a library, a long-time Texas Tech priority, instances his administrative acuteness. And strength, for it was no time to ask an economically minded legislature

for any building. But Dr. Knapp requested funds for the muchneeded all-college building that was necessary to house the books he was instrumental in acquiring for Texas Tech.

Our surprise when his request for a library was approved measured the astuteness off his judgment. If he could get state funds for any building it would be for a library. The School of Agriculture would have to wait many years more before it could move from the match-box, one-storied stucco frame building it had occupied since Texas Tech opened in 1925.

Dr. Knapp combined the dignity of a statesman with the fortitude of a farmer. He knew that if Texas Tech could hold its own until the depression lifted, it would develop.

Not losing ground was a positive for him. And the 50 percent growth in the student body during his six years as president was to him adequate accomplishment.

His contribution to Texas Tech seemed at the time quite negative.

Only present perspective yields it its positive significance.

ooooooooooooooo c The Enterprise Campaign-

Entering a ne-w phase

BY PRANGE LOWE

w;th the announcement that the Enterprise Campaign has reached its goal of S60 million, Texas Tech University and the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center are entering a new phase of development efforts.

According to Dr. Lauro F. Cavazos, president, the Campaign is "the first step in what must be a continuing effort to find private support for the University and Health Sciences Center."

Planners did not foresee that the Campaign would take place during a period of financial distress in Texas, Cavazos commented. "We're tremendously pleased to have been able to reach our S60 million goal ahead of schedule, but we would have been even more successful if the economy had been better."

The economic downturn affected the University and Health Sciences Center in a number of ways, the Tech President said. The Legislature reduced funds for education, resulting in a freeze on hiring, out-of-state travel, faculty and staff salaries, and some programs.

"We lost some faculty to other ·schools. The ones remaining had to stretch themselves further," Cavazos said. "Classes were bigger, and some classes were cut. Our faculty couldn't attend scholarly meetings, which cut down on our visibility. We had more applications for financial aid and less money for scholarships."

There was another side to the coin, however, the president said. ''We've done a tremendous job in getting the story out about Texas Tech and the Health Sciences Center. Faculty, students and staff have rallied, and I think morale is better than it has ever been.

We're all determined to see Texas Tech be as good as it can be. ''We are also more development-conscious," Cavazos said. ''We're stronger, more confident of our ability to weather the storm. A clear sense of the mission of the institution is emerging.

We feel very good about the future."

Cavazos said future development efforts will focus on endowment and annual support. ''We set a goal of S43 20 JANUARY-FEBRUARY 1988

million in endowment for the campaign. That would have raised our endowment to about S68 million, still behind other comparable institutions in this state. We reached our S60 million goal, but only about Sl3.5 million of this was endowment. So, we're going to concentrate our efforts on increasing our endowment base. I'd like to see us with an endowment of about SlOO million by the end of the century. So we have our job cut out for us.

A major emphasis will be student assistance, the Tech president said.

"The cost of education has increased enormously in the last couple of decades. We're in danger of pricing the middle-class student right out of the market. We just can't afford to let that happen. We need the funds to make sure any capable student can come to Texas Tech."

He said that the University and HSC are interested in increasing both the number and amount of scholarships.

"Many of our scholarships are in the SIOO-S200 range. This is a help, but it's not enough to keep a student in college. Many of our students work, and this takes away from study time. We'd like to assure promising students that they can concentrate on their studies without worrying about whether they can afford to stay in school. ''We also want to recruit the very best young people," he continued. ''We're agreed that we want to increase the quality of our students on both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Bright students have a good effect on the whole campus. We'll always have a mission to this region, but we want to recruit the best students from throughout the state and nation, too. And we are in strong competition for these young people."

Cavazos said loans are not the best solution to financial aid. "I hate to see a young person get out of college already thousands of dollars in debt," he said. "It's a terrible burden for a young family. A person with a college degree is going to pay society back, many times over, the cost of education.

I'd like to be able to offer full scholar-

ships to at least the top students coming to Tech."

"Another problem is recruiting minority students," he continued. ''We need scholarship funds to help these youngsters live up to their potential.

It's sad when a student graduates at the top of a high school class and can't go on to college. We're going to make a real effort to get these young people."

Endowment funds will also be sought to enrich the academic environment, Cavazos said. "Education includes many things. We think first of all of faculty. We want to recruit and attract the most promising faculty to our campus. I'd like to see more endowed faculty positions, to attract first-class scholars. We want to create an environment in which they can do their best work, and this means resources, facilities, funds for publications, research, travel to meetings, and so on.

We're going to place a lot of emphasis on upgrading our graduate programs, as well.

"Another important area is libraries.

We're fortunate to have first-class library systems in both the University and the HSC. But we need to increase our resources, get the best-trained personnel and the most up-to-date equipment. Library technology is computerintensive. The time is coming when a student or professor can plug into the card catalogue from dorm or office.

But all this takes money. If we want to compete, we've got to be on the cutting edge."

The University and HSC will continue to seek a higher level of annual giving, Cavazos said. "These funds provide the margin of excellence, supplementing the operating funds appropriated by the Legislature. It's a way for friends to show their support."

Texas Tech and the HSC have come a long way through the Enterprise Campaign, Cavazos concluded. ''We have a lot of friends who realize how much we need their help. But the Enterprise Campaign was just a beginning: our biggest task lies ahead. We have a tremendous future, and we're going to keep working to make that promise a reality."

Goebel, associate professor offinance; Dr. Roger D. Schaefer, associate professor ofpolitical sdence; Dr. james Brink, associate professor of history; and (not pictured) Dr. jim Harper, associate professor of history and director of the Honors program at Tech.

Research efforts highlighted an October 8 discussion among Texas Tech University regents, who indicated that research emphasis and publications will remain priorities for the University and the Health Sciences Center.

According to regents and Texas Tech officials, the success in those areas will determine whether the two institutions are ranked alongside or beneath the Univer$ity of Texas and Texas A&M. . "To me, this (research) is basic as ~o whether we are in the first tier," said regent J. Fred Bucy, referring to a propoSal that could result in the state's universities being ranked according to role, scope and mission.

"If we have limitations (on research) or can't tell our story, then we are going to be in the second or third tier," Bucy added during committee meetings held at the Health Sciences Center.

Dr. BernhardT. Mittemeyer, executive vice president of the HSC, added that going into future legislative sessions, both institutions must focus on educating lawmakers and the general public about Texas Tech.

"This really has to be the Health Sciences Center and the University's major tack over the next 15 to 18 months," he said.

The Texas Tech administration will decide the fate of a new general core curriculum proposal for Tech students, in compliance with a bill signed last summer mandating the creation of such a program.

The legislation requiring all Texas institutions to establish a core curriculum, H.B. 2183, was signed into law by Gov. Bill Clements June 17.

The legislation defines core curriculum as a "curriculum in the liberal arts, humanities, and sciences, and political, social, cultural history, that all undergraduates of a particular institution of higher education are required to complete before receiving an associate or baccalaureate degree."

Dr. Virginia Sowell, associate dean of academic affairs, said the University appointed a committee three years ago to create a core curriculum. She said the committee studied the general core need and presented its recommendations to Dr. Donald Haragan, vice president for academic affairs and research. She also said if Haragan approves the measure, the recommendation will be sent to Tech President Dr. Lauro Cavazos and the Board of Regents.

Sowell said she expects a decision

on the issue to be made this academic year and that she expects the recommendation, if passed, to be implemented in fall 1989.

The Tech plan requires courses in basic skills, math, social and natural sciences. The 49 hours required of students will have to be met before students can graduate from any college.

Students will be required to complete 12 hours of fundamental skills. In addition, 18 hours of a student's courses must be designated as "writing-intensive."

Other requirements are 10 hours in science and technology courses, seven hours in straight science courses and three hours in technology courses defined as a "conversion of science to human life." Sowell said the conversion of science to human life courses will help students to practically apply what they learn in their science courses.

The state requires that students take six hours of American history and political science. Sowell said those requirements will remain the same.

Added to the political science requirement, students will take three hours in an international experience course and three hours in an individual and group behavior course, according to the proposed curriculum.

Students are required to take six hours of classes in literature and visual and performing arts appreciation courses.

During their senior year, students will be required to complete an integrative thinking "capstone" course that will incorporate "major elements of both the general education curriculum

and materials from the major discipline."

Sowell said the "capstone" course was designed so students can pull together what they have learned with outside information.

Gary Edson

The Museum of Texas Tech University is f"tnding friends with money as officials hustle to replace S459,000 in vetoed state funds. But the effort is still too young to weigh, the facility's director said.

Dr. Gary Edson said members of a seven-member task force charged with finding funds to keep the museum open, gave progress reports on fundraising efforts this fall.

Edson, who heads the task force, said the only fund-raising effort that has shown significant returns is a directmail campaign that focused on known and potential donors.

"We are not going to solve the entire problem that way, but we are getting donations of from SIO to S2,000," he said.

Edson said discussions with a number of corporations concerning possible donations are ongoing. One such donation came this fall from Shell Oil Co., which contributed S30,000 to keep the museum in operation.

Currently, the museum and Ranching Heritage Center have combined 1988 budgets totaling S459,000, which utilize the full amount of money approp22 JANUARY-FEBRUARY 1988

riated by the state legislature.

Tech President Lauro Cavazos, who appointed the committee, said "We are doing everything we can to raise the S460,000 shortfall," adding that he and Edson recently met with officials of the Institute for Museum Science in Washington, D.C., in an attempt to secure funding.

"It has been just amazing how this has spread across the state in terms of people being aware of the situation," Edson said.

Because of Texas Tech,s admission standards, Phi Beta Kappa, generally recognized as one of the country's foremost academic honorary societies, has rejected Texas Tech's efforts to establish a campus chapter twice in the past five years.

Tech most recently applied to Phi Beta Kappa in October 1985, said College of Arts and Sciences associate dean Dr. Otto Nelson, who has served as coordinator of the Phi Beta Kappa application process. He said the honor society sent a letter to the University explaining reasons for not accepting Tech as a site for a new chapter.

The letter stated that sufficient changes had not been made since Tech applied in October 1982.

Dr. Donald Haragan, vice president for academic affairs, explained that the biggest problem Tech has in becoming an affiliate with Phi Beta Kappa is low admission standards.

"We are nowhere close to meeting the standards set by Phi Beta Kappa," he said. "Our being turned down has nothing to do with the quality of education at Tech. It's the quality of students we are allowing to enter here."

Nelson said schools are judged on the quality of students who are entering, not on the quality of students who are graduating.

"I know that Tech can compete with any other state university as far as quality education is concerned," Nelson said. "This is proven by our many graduates who have gone on very successfully to work on graduate degrees in such prestigious schools as Harvard and Yale.

"But unfortunately, we are not judged by Phi Beta Kappa based on the students who graduate from here."

Haragan said Tech cannot be accepted by Phi Beta Kappa until action is taken regarding admission standards. He said Tech may lose students for a short time by raising admis-

sion standards, but the process will be rapid because ''we will quickly gain back more quality students."

Phi Beta Kappa is very selective, with an annual average of only one new chapter, Nelson said. Applications are viewed only once every three years, and anywhere from 80 to 120 schools apply.

Although there has been some improvement since the last application was submitted, Nelson doesn't believe another application will be submitted in 1988, the first year Tech will be eligible to reapply.

"We are in trouble until the admission standards are changed at Tech, and until they are, we will not reapply," he said.

The Southwest Collection at Tech is missing Lubbock newspapers that are important to the history of the West Texas area.

"Without newspapers, portions of community cultural history are lost forever," said Dr. David Murrah, director and author of a number of historical works, who is heading a program he terms The Avalanche-journal Remicrofilming Project. ''We are appealing to everyone who might have a pre-1930 Lubbock paper but particularly pre- 1925, to let us copy it," Murrah added.

Six major gaps have been documented and a drive has begun to discover what papers may exist in attics, closets or garages just waiting to be discovered.

"It is the last chance we will have to film the papers," Murrah said. "The papers are so brittle, they will not last much longer in hard copy. They are becoming useless. This is the last time we will ever be able to handle those papers."

Anyone with information about early newspapers may call Murrah or Sharon Kohout at 806/742-3749.

AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES John E. Birdwell II of Lubbock, Elbert Harp of Abernathy and Bill Pfluger of San Angelo were named Gerald W. Thomas Outstanding Agriculturists Nov. 12 during the College of Ag Sciences' 60th annual Pig Roast.

The agriculturist awards are named for Gerald W. Thomas, former dean of the college, who is now president emeritus of New Mexico State at Las Cruces. lbe award, established in 1969, is given to individuals for their contributions to West Texas agriculture. Recipients do not have to be Tech graduates.

Birdwell, a former Tech regent, is a rancher, farmer, cattle feeder and agribusinessman. He is president of Birdwell Corp., Birdwell Cattle Co., Coyote Lake Feed Yard and ranches in Cochran, Bailey and Briscoe counties.

Harp, who earned a bachelor's degree in economics from Tech in 1951, has served on many state, national and international advisory committees. He has been executive director of the National Grain Sorghum Producers Association and the Texas Grain Sorghum Producers Board.

Pfluger earned a degree in business administration from Tech in 1960 and has been in the ranching business since then. He is currently president of the National Wool Growers Association and past president of the American Sheep Producers Council and Texas Sheep and Goat Raisers.

Three outstanding alumni of the college of agricultural sciences were honored as Distinguished Alumni Oct. 22-23. They were R.A."Rob" Brown Jr. of Throckmorton, W.R Collier of Lubbock and Stanley R Johnson of Ames, Iowa.

A rancher, agribusinessman and Sim-

mental cattle breeder, Brown earned a bachelor's degree in animal science at Tech in 1958. Collier, who received a bachelor's degree in agricultural economics in 1961, is president of American State Bank. Johnson, who earned a master's degree in 1962 in agricultural economics, is administrator for the Center for Agriculture and Rural Development in the department of economics at Iowa State University.

Brown operates the R.A. Brown Ranch near Throckmorton; the Crooked River Ranch in Throckmorton, Haskell and Shackelford counties; the R.A. Brown Box T Ranch near Colorado Springs, Colo.; and Brown Simmental Breeders near Matheson, Colo.

Collier has been associated with American State Bank since 1959 and was elected bank president in 1974.

Active in the community and with Texas Tech in advisory capacities, such as the President's Council, he is widely recognized for his leadership positions in many banking organizations throughout the state.

Johnson has been a professor at the universities of Missouri, Connecticut and Iowa State. An associate editor for the American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Johnson has published numerous books and articles and was recognized with the Chancellor's Award for Outstanding Research at the University of Missouri in 1980.

Stockton, along with other members of the college M.J. Cepica, John Dillingham, Lewis Eggenberger and several graduate students, compiled the book. It is the result of a proposal three years ago to the Texas Future Farmers of America Alumni Association, which supports ag education in Texas, Stockton said.

The book outlines the origins of agricultural education in all Texas universities, including all professors involved from the beginning and the outstanding accomplishments of graduates of ag science. The book explains how ag education was started at Tech and what students of the college went on to accomplish after graduation, he said.

The book was finalized in December.

ARCHITECTURE When the word 'downtown' comes to mind, earlier generations think of activity, culture and history, while younger people picture a semi-ghost town, abandoned of most activity and outdated.

What was once the heart of the city has become no man's land.

As cities grew outward, the inner area was considered outdated and the new development areas took over as the centers for activity. Shopping malls took the place of downtown stores as a sort of cultural center where citizens could get together for pleasure, to conduct business or to be social.

Professor David Driskill, associate professor of architecture, said little by

little, the direction of activity is beginning to return to the downtown-or center. Students in Driskill's urban design class are designing ways to usher in the return of downtown Wichita Falls, Texas.

The students are doing this as their semester project. They are considering the downtown area's history, medical center, neighborhoods, river, central business district and access roads to determine how the area can be improved to rekindle the activity downtown Wichita Falls once possessed.

The shopping malls and suburbs on the outer edges of cities not only lack the true culture of the the original cities, they prevent younger generations from learning any history about where they are or who was there before them. These new activity areas also serve to separate the different peoples of each city by depriving them of one central meeting place in the heart of the city, a place which carried with it the pride and heritage of the city's origins.

"The direction is back to the middle of town," Driskill said. "We are pushing to reestablish the center. All communities need a central place. For a long time, because of the suburbs and shopping malls, the workplace and homellfe were separate entities. Now they should overlap. The interest in 'downtown' has returned." (By Edward Gately)

ARTS & SCIENCES Tech Honors students presented two pro2t"ams at the annual convention of the National Collegiate Honors Council in Dallas this fall. The council is the umbrella organization of Honors programs at more than 300 colleges and universities across the United States.

Presenting programs at that body's annual convention is one of the higher recognitions an Honor's program can receive, according to Dr. Jim Harper, director of the Honor's group at Tech.

Mike Truesdale, a senior economics/ English major from Texarkana, chaired a session on Tech Honors student pub· lications, and Harper chaired a panel on student involvement in academic decisions.

Tech's Honors students publish both· a newsletter called "Honors Forum," and "Elysium," a literary journal.

Waterman gave two formal lectures during his Oct. 14-15 visit.

Waterman is a world renowned expert in the application of mathematical concepts to the study of questions in biology.

Another professor visiting the department during the fall semester was Dr. John Lund, associate professor of math at Montana State. Lund, who spent the bulk of the academic semester at Tech, worked with department professors Drs. David Gilliam, Bernard Mair and Clyde Martin on numerical solutions to inverse heat conduction problems.

Both were students at Tech when they married in 1927, the year before he graduated and headed for the University of Texas for a law degree.

The flagpole was up and the new flag officially flying for the Dec. 4 Carol of tights festivities and founders' party, which honored Coleman and all other contributors to the Bricks at Tech drive to create the landscaped area while building scholarships with the proceeds.

For his gift of over S1 ,000, Coleman was among the first to receive the cold cast bronze bas-relief of the Will Rogers and Soapsuds statue, "Riding Into The Sunset." The unlimited edition, to be given to those contributing $1 ,000 or more to the Quest for Excellence program, was authorized by Electra Waggoner Biggs of Vernon, who sculpted the statue.

The retired oil company attorney is the only alumnus to receive Tech's Distinguished Alwnni Loyalty Award.

He said it is interesting to note that Lubbock's economy takes a downturn during the summer months when most students leave the city. He said businesses, especially eating establishments, rely heavily on the Tech community and find their businesses booming when the regular semesters are in session.

Rouse said Lubbock has not been greatly affected by the depressed Texas economy, especially compared to Midland and Houston. That is due, he said, to the fact that educational institutions such as Tech usually remain stable and compensate for other industries that may have been affected by the depressed economy.

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

Danny Bellenger

Many students would

jump at the chance

to take fewer electives and graduate with a master's degree in five years.

A new plan is being created in the College of Business Administration that will attract to graduate school more business students with better grade point averages, said Dr. Danny Bellenger, associate dean for academic programs in the business college and marketing department.

In the plan, which will begin during the 1988 summer or fall semesters, students with high GPAs in the college will be able to graduate with a master's degree with 150 hours, Bellenger said.

"This is the wave of the future," he said. "This will create a fast-track system for outstanding students."

The new plan will consist of 114

undergraduate hours and 36 graduate hours over a five-year period. Nine hours of electives will be omitted from the current 123-hour undergraduate plan, he said.

Admission into the program will be equal to the requirements that now must be met to enter the graduate program, including taking the Graduate Management Admissions Test, he said.

Students in accounting will be able to take the CPA exam after completing the five-year plan, Bellenger added.

He said the college wants to encourage more students to complete master's degrees, which makes for a better education. The college administrators hope to have 100 students enrolled in the graduate school each year.

North Texas State and the Unive.rsity of Texas also have started 150-hour BBA/MBA plans in their business colleges, Bellenger said.

A team of business professors at Tech are taking a look at banking practices which they deem "hazardous" to college students in particular, and consumers in general.

The study, being conducted by Dr. Kathleen Hennessey, director of the Institute for Organizational Auto· mation, focuses on checking account practices within state and national banking institutions.

Hennessey said she has been studying the Lubbock banking system for the past two years as part of her research within the ISOA, and has discovered how the system has destroyed many students' lives and will continue to do so by forcing them to quit school due to escalating debts.

The financial nightmare usually begins when a student comes to a university and opens a checking account at a local bank and deposits money, she said. When the student's parents send him or her a check to pay bills, the stu· dent begins writing and sending checks, believing that the parent's check is clear.

Hennessey said most students believe their parent's checks clear in about three days, when, in reality, it often takes eight days. When the student's checks begin to bounce, the banks begin charging n 5 or more for each check. Collections agencies and most businesses also charge another fee for the returned checks. This amount escalates depending on the number of times a check may be presented to the bank, she said.

"By the time the check clears, the

student can owe as much as S4 50 or more in banking charges for hot checks. lbis has a snowball effect," Hennessey said, adding she's seen as much as Sl,OOO in bank "service" charges mount in just a three-week period. "The way this process siphons funds from a bank account without the customer's knowledge or consent is also a matter for the Attorney General's i5 Office. The problem appears to be get- "' ting worse as bank loan performance ~ deteriorates" she added.

5 "The students don't tell their parents "' "' about their situation and end up get~ ting jobs or finding extra work to pay off their debts. They are embarrassed to say anything to anybody and the banks play off that emotion," she said.

"It becomes an emergency situation, their grades go down, and within two or three weeks, they have to quit school, while the bank is S300 richer and the collection agencies are S150 richer also."

EDUCATION An annual holiday

event was held

in December by the College of Education and their friends and alumni to benefit Lubbock Independent School District high school graduates' scholarships.

The 1987 Holiday Home Tour was held Dec. 6 featuring the sights and sounds of the holiday season. Homes on the tour were those of Mr. and Mrs. Dib Gay, Dr. and Mrs. Mike Bobo, Dr. and Mrs. Joe Vanderhoof, Mr. and Mrs. Prentiss Cunningham, Dr. and Mrs. Glenn Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Musselman and Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Wilson.

Lee Little Soldier

Dr. Lee Little Soldier was so emotionally moved after reading "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" by Dee Brown that she took a special interest in the development of native Americans.

Little Soldier, a professor who specializes in multi-cultural education, has an outside interest in American Indian education, which she incorporates in her teaching of future educators.

Little Soldier said she has been involved in and interested in Indian education for years. She has written articles and given presentations on the subject at national conferences.

Since coming to Tech in 1969, she has helped develop the multicultural education program in Tech' College of Education. She said she believes future teachers need to be prepared to teach minorities.

"In the classroom, teachers will be forced to deal with different cultures, and teachers need to be prepared for these differences that will manifest themselves in behavioral differences," she said.

Dr. Tom Leamon, professor and chairman of the Tech industrial engineering department.

"Falling down is a huge problem in this country," he said. "Four thousand people in the U.S. will die from falling down in public places this year."

According to figures from the National Safety Commission, 7,000 people died last year from falling accidents and 12.5 million people were injured.

Members of the public are six times more likely to die from falling than flying," Leamon said.

He said the researchers at Tech will be using volunteer students and people of other ages as subjects to monitor their walking habits and see what causes them to fall.

Eliminating backaches in the U.S. Air Force is the purpose behind research being conducted in the industrial engineering department.

Dr. M.M. Ayoub, Horn professor of industrial engineering, Dr. James Smith, an associate professor, and several department graduate students are conducting research for the Air Force to help make life easier for those in charge of repairing aircraft. The project is the third phase of a research contract that began in 1984, Ayoub said.

The purpose of this phase is to find out how much weight airmen can lift and load in tight places while repairing airplanes, Ayoub said. Currently, designers are not keeping maintenance in mind when building planes.

Conditions such as tight spaces and low ceilings make repair work on aircraft difficult on airmen, he said.

"Our job is to develop a database which the Air Force can give to the construction companies to use while building the planes," he said.

been keeping busy in various projects, all the while bringing greater exposure to the relatively new discipline.

During the fall, RHIM sponsored such programs as the first Texas Tech University Texas Vintage and Vittles Symposium, attracting, among many notables, Italian Wine and Food Institute President Lucio Caputo, Mark Condon of the U.S. Department of Agri· culture, U.S. Rep. E. (Kika) De La Garza, U.S. Rep. Charles Stenholm and Dr. Lauro Cavazos.

The symposium featured local wines and foods and resulted in Caputo's invitation to Lubbock wineries to bring their products to the 1988 Yin Italy wine and cheese festival to be held April 8-13 in Verona, Italy. This year, Caputo said, the 21st annual festival will be highlighted by the first-ever appearance of an American delegation.

Ano ther special eve~t was the visit by a Chinese delegation to Tech and their tour of the facilities, coordinated

by Dr. Jay Schrock of RHIM, who recently returned from a month-long visit to China lecturing to college classes on computerization of RHIM facilities.

problems stem from family problems that can be addressed through home economics courses, according to Dr. Carl Andersen, associate professor and director of Substance Abuse Studies.

"Alcoholism must be defined as a family disease," he said. "I am not saying it is not a physiological disease, but it must first and foremost be defined as a family disease."

He cited a Hagelton Institute statistical study which identifies five variables as being present in 98 percent of all alcohol disorders: Having parents who are problem drinkers; having parents who are problem non-drinkers; having parents who are rigidly religious; having parents who were divorced during the first twelve years of a child's life; and being the youngest child.

Andersen called "family dynamics" the source of a nationwide "social cancer." "We're in trouble in this country in terms of addiction problems," he said. "The illegal drug market has us by the throat and most people don't even know it. The number of people high school age who are addicts is enormous. The solution to these problems lies in family health. There is no better place to address these problems than in home economics classes," Andersen said.

Ann Burbridge (left) and Rosalee Hardwick of the law school

The presence, both in bodies and spirits, of two veteran employees have long haunted the halls of the Texas Tech School of Law. Registrar Ann Burbridge and Rosalee Hardwick, senior library assistant, have both surpassed 20 years of employment with the law school, witnessing and actively participating in its growth and transition stages.

"I've had a wonderful opportunity to see the law school grow from its first days in some old army barracks to a beautiful new building, and from a stu· dent body of 72 to approximately 560 students," said Burbridge, who began her 22nd year at the law school this fall.

Hardwick, who is entering her 21st year of employment at the schooL, began her career in September 1967 when the law school opened its doors to the first class.

Hardwick said she attributes her Ion· gevity to a continued appreciation of, and association with the law school administration, faculty, staff and students.

"I enjoy working in a library environ· ment, especially the law library, and I've had the opportunity to observe and contribute to the growth of the law school," she said.

Hardwick now supervises the acqui-

sitions division of the law library. Prior to that, she worked at the circulation desk and in acquisitions before becoming the library secretary. She is a recipient of the 1986 Staff Recognition Award presented by the Cardinal Key National Honor Society.

Responsible for records and registration and coordination with admissions for law students, Burbridge cites numerous reasons for her long-standing status within the law school.

"I feel I have been most fortunate to be working at the law school as I have had wonderful support from the deans and from fellow workers," she said. "lbis position continues to be a challenge as we find new and better ways to do things."

Burbridge said she is currently working with registrars from eight other law schools to compile a law registrar's handbook. ''We hope this will be a helpful tool to new registrars as well as a sharing of ideas of experienced registrars," she said.

Burbridge received the University Superior Achievement Award in 1986.

COURT IN SESSION-The Court of Appeals from Amarillo bear oral arguments

at the Texas Tech School of Law courtroom during a recent session in Lubbock.

Members of the bench are (from left) justice Richard N. Countiss, Chiefjustice Charles L. Reynolds and justice john T. Boyd. 1be court convenes at the Tech law school twice annually.

Back to school at 60 As evening shadows stretch across the hill country landscape, weary but satisfied students pile out of the Texas Tech Center vans. They have just completed a day-long geology field trip that included numerous stops along the FM roads to examine outcrops of geologic time tables. Some had climbed "the Rock" at Enchanted Rock State Park and all had bags of rocks and memories of what they had seen.

No doubt this sounds typical of a college field trip. The difference is these students are all at least 60 years old. They are part of an Elderhostel program-an international network of educational institutions offering college level courses and low cost room and board to older adults. No tests are given and there are no prerequisites other than to be an inquisitive person who has passed his or her 60th birthday.

Among the campuses participating in Elderhostel is the Texas Tech Center at junction, Texas. Primarily a center for graduate studies in the summers, the facilities are used for a wide range of seminars, training meetings and field trips August through April. Elderhostel programs are held three-to-four weeks a year. lllis spring, two weeks are planned. .

Sculpting a bust from a live model was one of the challenges met successfully in a clay modeling course during Elderhostel.

Astronomy will offer participants a non-threatening basic course in astronomy with star and planet identification; telescope selection and astrophotography as part of the subjects covered.

In addition, a Kite Design and Flying class will be taught by Dr. Bill Lockhart, a recently retired Texas Tech pro-

fessor of art. Lockhart's skill as a teacher and enthusiasm for kites will encourage Elderhostelers to discover the joy of flying a kite of their own design.

March 13-19, Dr. Danny Mason and Dr. Paul Knipping of the Tech department of health, physical education, recreation and dance will teach complimentary courses. Mason's "The Basics of Golf" and Knipping's "Rational Self-Counseling" will promote mental and physical discipline as recreation and as a means for improving one's outlook on life. Plenty of time will be allowed to play golf on the nine-hole course less than a mile from the campus.

J amie Herring dreamed of being an art major until a motorcycle accident left her a quadriplegic. Scott Tooke wanted to major in accounting, but his cerebral palsy prevented him from operating a calculator.

Today, though, both their wishes are coming true through their tenacity and through the Biocybemetics Lab at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center.

Established 20 months ago, the Bio':ybemetics Lab is combining computer technology with old-fashioned ingenuity to open up the college classroom to students with severe physical handicaps limiting their ability to communicate.

Lab Director James Koerlin describes himself as a high-tech blacksmith and the horse-and-buggy analogy carries over to Herring and Tooke. They are, in effect, pioneers because just a few years ago their physical and communication limitations would have kept them out of college classrooms and out of the opportunities open to a degree recipient.

"Scott and Jamie are pushing back the frontiers for the handicapped," Koerlin said. "They are a new generation of students with severe communicative disorders to reach the college classroom, but they won't be the last.

The same technology which is opening college to them is also reaching students in high school, junior high and even elementary school."

Even so, maldng that link between the technology and the individual need can be as tedious as it is for the handicapped student to communicate. Offthe-shelf computer hardware and software seldom provide all the answers, creating the need for high-tech blacksmiths like Koerlin to hammer out custom-made solutions.

In Jamie Herring's case, Koerlin spent five months writing a special computer program. Her motorcycle 30 jANUARY-fEBRUARY 1988

When she came to the Biocybemetics Lab, she had an IBM computer with a sophisticated voice-activated keyboard that could spell out words and sentences a letter at a time for her.

Though Herring had some vocal capabilities, she could only speak when her respirator was not breathing for her. Consequently, about half the time, her speech would be disrupted when the respirator took control.

"She spent about as much time backspacing or deleting what she had said as she did spelling out words and sentences," Koerlin said. "It was tedious and frustrating."

Koerlin went to work writing a program that would come to be called OmniWriter and the initial solution for Herring was to use the first electronic language-Morse code. Using sips and puffs on a straw to represent the dots and dashes of Morse code with OmniWriter, Herring improved her communication speed to about 12 words a minute.

OmniWriter quickened her communication because the program anticipates words. For instance, if she enters an ".!\' and a "B," the program will check a 5,300-word dictionary and display on the screen common words which begin with those two letters.

Thus, she can select "absolute" from that list without having to spell it out.

Herring's communication system has since been upgraded and she uses "HeadMaster," a headband with an infrared sensor. By moving her head, she points to letters or words on her Macintosh system and puffs a straw to make selections. This modification increased her speed to 20-25 words a minute. With the sensor, which emulates a Macintosh Mouse, she can now do free-form computer drawings. In fact, the Tech sophomore has become proficient enough to enroll this spring in her first college art class, the first step t~ward her dream of becoming an art maJor. In working with Herring, Koerlin learned that software flexibility is an im~rtant fact~r in computer program destgn. He destgned OmniWriter to be

:omputer technology rashioned ingenuity able to respond to impulses from a keyboard, a puff switch or straw, a mouse and even the blink of the eye.

That flexibility is important not only because of the various requirements for different individuals but also because of the need to adjust for the deteriorating physical capabilities many of them will experience during life.

Beginning this fall, OmniWriter will be distributed by Medical Equipment Distributors and will be available for about S200. It requires a computer system with a minimum of 512K memory.

"Even if no one else uses OmniWriter, Koerlin said, "Jamie uses it and it will make a difference in her system and in her life."

The HSC Biocybernetics Lab has also made a difference in Scott Tooke's life.

Born with cerebral palsy, Tooke has limited muscular control and lacks the ability to speak comprehensibly.

Though his body has its limitations,

his mind is sharp enough that he graduated as an honor student from Coronado High School in Lubbock. While he was capable of handling three-digit multiplication and division problems in his head, the more complex problems he was facing in freshman accounting class last year were taxing those capacities.

Though Tooke had a workable communication system, it did not have computational capabilities necessary for accounting. Referred to the Biocybernetics Lab at the HSC Cerebral Palsy Clinic, Tooke approached Koerlin with his needs. In this case, the computer hardware and software were available, but it was a matter of interfacing them to fit Tooke's individual needs.

Hewlett-Packard donated an advanced calculator, two modules for statistics and finance and an interface to connect it with Tooke's UteTalker Communication system on the lapboard of his wheelchair. Once Koerlin

Scott Tooke

had all the hardware, the job became more than just a matter of making the connections. He had to make the system durable.

"With cerebral palsy patients, the system takes a lot of punishment because of a CP's limited muscular control," Koerlin said. "Scott is dependent on his communication system all day long and it gets a lot of use.

If you lose your voice, you can whisper or scribble notes to communicate, but if Scott's system goes down, he is confined within himself."

To communicate or to do his accounting assignments, Tooke moves a light wand over the light-activated keyboard. He works at a tedious five words a minute but even at that rate, he can communicate with others and, given the extra time he needs, can compete with students in his accounting classes. In his spare time, he even writes poetry on the system.

"Scott is a true pioneer because by the fifth grade, he had an augmentative communication system," Koerlin said.

"That was an early age for then, though not for now, and I think it is why Scott has progressed so far and is so wellrounded as an individual. Communication is crucial to education. If you can't express yourself, how can anyone know what to teach you?"

When he graduates from Texas Tech, Tooke hopes to put his accounting skills to work for the Texas Rehabilitation Commission or to operate a nonverbal communications network.

Asked about the Biocybernetics Lab, his hand moved across the lap board and his answer gradually appeared on the display screen. ''Without this active facility," he wrote, "our input into the world would not be as possible."

Koerlin thinks technology will improve the possibilities for others with handicaps to have input into the world. Currently, of the 24 patients he sees on a regular basis, Jamie Herring and Scott Tooke are the oldest and the most dramatic in their accomplishments. The others are younger, from high school age on down to first- and second-graders. ''With exposure to the technology at such a young age, more and more of these students will ultimately wind up in the college classroom," Koerlin said.

"Sadly, because so many physical handicaps are accompanied by mental limitations, technology may never be able to solve all the needs. However, technology can now overcome even the most severe physical handicaps, if they are accompanied by a sound mental capacity." l!l JANUARY·FEBRUARY 1988

Picking the All-( time) Red Raider Team

Let's

suppose just for a moment that you have the opportunity to put together your very own basketball team to go to the Texas Tech Recreation Center and challenge any and all comers. You do, how-

Rick Bullock (54) and Mike Russell ( 42) have both been named to the "First Team" on the A/1-(time) Red Raiders team.

32 JANUARY-FEBRUARY 1988

By Kelly Robinson

ever, have a stipulation on the players from which to choose. The players on your team must have either played for or are currently playing for the Texas Tech Red Raiders.

A lot of people would relish the opportunity to select a fi.ve-to-10 man team made up of former and present Tech players to compete in such a fashion. One gentleman

who would not want to commit to that is former Raider head coach and athletic director Polk Robison.

"When you go back as far as I do in Tech basketball," said the exletterman from 1933-35, "you can't really narrow it down that much.

There are just too many good players to choose from and I don't want to leave anybody out."

We can't blame Polk for his diplomacy and for that same reason we didn't ask present Raider head coach Gerald Myers for his choices. His name, though, does appear on several of the soon-to-follow ballots.

While we are in the process of mentioning Coach Robison, let's just find out from him what changes he's seen over the years in college basketball. After all, what we've asked you to do is put together a team that may well include some of those from the past.

"I think the biggest change in our basketball program came when we moved into the Lubbock Municipal Coliseum," said Robison, who coached the Raiders to a record of 254-195 in 18 seasons.

"At the time it was built, it was the most beautiful and largest arena around. The addition of the Coliseum really made Tech a focal point around the country."

Other changes that Robison has seen over the years are rather obvious, all the way from games being put on the radio to the current "overkill" of television.

While Robison believes that television has been a bad influence on the game of basketball, he does believe the Red Raider program is headed in the right direction under Gerald Myers. In fact, if he were to participate in our poll of "pick your Tech team," he might even start with Gerald Myers as a trigger man for him.

"Gerald was as fierce a competitor when he played for me as he is now as a coach," Robison said. "I think he's doing a great job with our basketball program and I know he will continue to do so."

With all the background material out of the way, it's time now to see how our panel of "experts" and knowledgeable Texas Tech basketball worshippers have picked their teams. First of all, let's meet our panel: JOE HORNADAY, Tech Sports Information Director

CORKY OGLESBY, Tech track coach and former Raider basketball assistant coach ROB EVANS, Tech basketball assistant coach JACK DALE, in his 35th year as radio voice of the Red Raiders BURLE PEITIT, managing editor, the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal DR. JOHN COBB, physical education professor at Tech DR. DANNY MASON, physical education professor at Tech STEVE LOCKE, Red Raider Club president

TIM CHAMBERS, Red Raider Club vice president and former Raider basketball manager.

Here is a look at how the balloting went. Please keep in mind that this was not done in any scientific manner, but was done based on whether or not a member of the panel had seen a player play. Also, please realize that the stipulations were that the players selected were going to form a team to play against opponents in the Student Recreation Center.

Paula Brigance (right) returns a shot in a match with her doubles partner, Annemarie Walson, last fall.

Serve-and-volley style lifts Tech teatn to nationals

By Curtis Matthews

34 JANUARY-FEBRUARY 1988

S erve and volley. Apparently, that's the formula for winning collegiate tennis. It's definitely an area in which Texas Tech seniors Annemarie Walson and Paula Brigance excel.

"A serve-and-volley attack will overpower a baseline game and will score points quicker, putting you in control of the match," Brigance said.

Walson and Brigance, Tech's No. 1 doubles team, had a sparkling 150 record this fall. They combined for four victories and the doubles title in the Intercollegiate Tennis Coaches Association Southwest

Regional Tournament Oct. 15-18 in Austin.

The triumph automatically qualified the Tech duo for the ITCA/ Rolex Indoor National Championships Feb. 4-7 in Minneapolis.

The bid to the ITCA national tourney has added significance for Watson and Brigance-they are the first Raider players to qualify for the prestigious tournament.

"I think only 16 teams get to go," Watson said. "That means we'll be going against the best in the country. We played really well in the regionals, and because of that we'll get the chance to play, and a lot of other really good teams will have to stay at home."

Twelve of the 16 ITCA national spots are filled by regional winners and four are at-large bids, said Tech Coach Mickey Bowes.

First Raider players qualify for prestigious tournament Bowes added that if Walson and Brigance could win even one round, they would have a good chance of receiving a bid to the NCAA tournament later in the spring. The top 32 doubles teams in the country make up the tournament field, and All-America honors are given to teams that reach the quarterfinals.

"I honestly think they have a real good chance to do well in the tournament," Bowes said. "A lot of how they will do will depend on how they're seeded, but we've played some good teams and that will help (the seeding selection). If they could stay away from the top three seeds for a couple of rounds, they'll be right in the thick of it."

Bowes said Tech's height advantage will be a plus. Brigance stands 6-0, and Walson is only a little shorter at 5-lllh.

"They both have strong serves, overheads and volleys. The fact that they will be by far the tallest and strongest team (in the ITCA nationals) is going to make their

Paula Brigance

Annemarie Walson

game stand out even more," Bowes said.

Both Watson and Brigance chose to come to Tech for the same reason. "It's a strong conference for tennis," said Watson, a native of Califon, N.J. "There isn't just one good team and a bunch of weak ones like there are in a lot of other areas."

Although they hail from different backgrounds-Brigance is from Odessa-the two have grown accustomed to each other after playing together last year. In the ITCA regional, the pair did not lose a set en route to winning their four matches.

"We know and understand each other's game," Brigance said. "We play a lot alike, and so things like court position and shot placement have become almost an instinct."

"It helps a lot, because I don't have to worry about balls that are hit out of reach," Watson said. "I know Paula will be there."

Brigance pinched a nerve below her left kneecap during the fall while triple-jumping in a track and field P.E. class and almost suffered a dislocation.

"It's very antagonistic," she said.

"It will be fine, and then it will want to pop out without any warning." Two months of rehabilitation and ice therapy will follow for Brigance, but she will be able

to resume practicing.

Watson and Brigance played their last matches of the fall season in early November at the High Country Tennis Tournament in El Paso, hosted by UTEP. Brigance, played in singles only at the El Paso event because of the injury, and she won her first two matches before dropping out in the third due to complications resulting from the knee. Walson played in singles and doubles, losing in the finals in solo play and winning the doubles' crown with a new partner, senior Cathy Carlson.

When the spring season begins, the Raiders will count on Brigance and Walson to lead a young squad into Southwest Conference play.

After roaring out to a 19-2 start in dual match play last year, Tech settled for fifth place in the SWC. Walson and Brigance went 20-6 in non-conference doubles action a year ago before slipping to 4-5 in league matches.

Walson also is Tech's top seed in singies, while Brigance fills the fifth spot. Both said they prefer doubles to singles.

"I really had never played doubles seriously before I got here," Walson said. "It's taken a lot of practice, but it's paid off."

The final payoff for the graduating seniors will be this spring in Minnesota. i'l'l JANUARY·FEBRUARY 1988

SPORTS SHORTS collecting specimens at Tech are the same as those implemented by the International Olympic Committee.

Whatever their feelings are about off-season workouts, Texas Tech athletes have no doubt that new strength and conditioning coach Joe Juraszek knows what he's doing. They also realize that under his guidance, the Raider athletic fortunes are likely to become much better.

"Coach Juraszek demands a lot out of all of us," said senior linebacker Michael Johnson. "He expects a lot because he gives so much of himself. I can honestly say that what he's done since he came here this spring is the best thing for our program in my career at Texas Tech."

The toughness of the off-season drills made us realize that we have to go the little bit extra in order to be a winner."

And being a winner is something that Juraszek can definitely relate to.

The native Chicagoan came to Tech last spring after serving as assistant strength coach at the University of Oklahoma for six years.

The 29-year-old was a four-year letter winner at New Mexico, where he was defensive end three years and center one. He graduated from UNM with a bachelor's degree in physical education/ health and also in economics.

He served as a graduate assistant strength coach at OU for two years before becoming a full-time member of ~he staff for the next four years. While at OU as a grad assistant, he earned his master's degree in economics.

It was in Juraszek's playing days at UNM that he got to know Raider head coach Spike Dykes. Dykes was a member of the Lobo staff during Joe's playing days, and when Dykes went looking for a strength coach last spring, Juraszek was one of the first names to come to mind.

"Joe is one of the top strength coaches anywhere," said Dykes. "He is a very hard worker and he knows as much about what he's doing as anyone I've ever been around. He'll be one heck of an addition to our staff and our program."

One thing Dykes has done for Juraszek since he joined the staff is to let him handle the strength and conditioning area on his own.

"Coach Dykes told me from the beginning that his job and the other coaches' jobs were to teach football, 36 jANUARY-FEBRUARY 1988

The Texas Tech football team will make its longest

joe ]uraszek and that my job was to handle the strength and conditioning program," Juraszek said. "He said the coaches wouldn't interfere in my work as long as I don't start trying to call the plays.

It's a great situation to work under."

The strength coach is assisted by Kirk Byerly and Eric McGuffin.

A Newsweek poll conducted by the Gallup organization last spring has indicated strong public support for athletic drug testing programs, including one implemented by the NCAA. The NCAA instituted a mandatory drug testing program for all college athletes in January 1986. In response to the NCAA requirement, Texas Tech developed a drug testing program for its athletes.

Dr. Thomas Sodeman, director of pathology at the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center, administers the drug testing program for the athletics department. While the program is an effort to curb drug use among athletes, its problems with false positives-drug tests that have positive results even when no drugs are present in the system-have made the use of drug testing controversial.

Sodeman said the system used by the mmsc pathology lab, however, is accurate. He said tests performed on Tech athletes have not rendered any false positives.

The testing system used by the Health Sciences Center identifies specific agents in the urine, including marijuana, he added. Procedures for

road trip ever next fall when it travels across the Pacific Ocean to Tokyo, Japan, to face Big Eight member Oklahoma State in the Coca-Cola Japan Bowl.

Tech athletic director T. Jones made the announcement, saying, "I think it's a good experience, in fact, a wonderful experience for our Red Raiders to culturally go to this country and exchange not only friendships but to play a game and entertain those people. Of course, the big thing, we're going over to win the game. I'm sure Oklahoma State feels the same way."

The date of the overseas contest, formerly known as the Mirage Bowl, will be after both schools have concluded their respective conference schedules on Nov. 19.

The teams were scheduled to play in Lubbock on Sept. 17. The move leaves Tech with five home games next season: North Texas State, Baylor, Texas, Lamar and Houston. The Raiders' 1988 road schedule includes Arizona, Texas A&M, Arkansas, Rice, TCU and OSU.

Tech head baseball coach Larry Hays this fall hired former Texas Ranger and Philadelphia Phillies scout Marvin White as the Red Raiders' new pitching coach.

White, 26, joins assistant coach John Harris on Hays'staff, giving the Raiders' two full-time assistant coaches for the first time in history.

White, a native of Chickasha, Okla., has a varied background in baseball from playing to coaching. He played collegiately at Seminole (Okla.) Jr. College for two years and for two years at Southeastern Oklahoma State, where he was an all-conference performer on both levels. He compiled an overall pitching ledger of 31-8 in his four years of college competition.

After being drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies on two different occasions, White signed a free agent contract with them after his college career was completed. He played one year before arm problems forced him to retire and concentrate on coaching.

An Open Letter to Association Members

Dear Texas Techsans, Hertz places great value in our rental program with your Ex-Students Association and realizes that the key to its success is dependent upon your membership's satisfaction with us. The response of your members to date clearly shows that they also value this program.

In analyzing our recent rental and revenue statistics, we have seen considerable growth in both our weekend and weekly rental segments in 1987. At the same time, however, we have experienced little growth in our daily rental segment.

In response to this, we are pleased to advise you that Hertz began lowering daily rates effective December 1, 1987. Equally good news is that there will be FREE UNUMITED MILEAGE for these rates.

Following is the new rate structure: Class A: Subcompact $36 per day Class 8: Compact 39 per day Class C: Mid-Size 41 per day Class D: Full-Size, 2-door 42 per day 43 per day Class F: Full-Size, 4-door Cars rented from participating locations serviced by certain Hertz cities may have an added daily charge of $3-5, with the daily charge being S7-8 in Washington D.C. and New York area airports and Manhattan.

All other aspects of the current program remain the same.

Sincerely, Deanna R.H. Zagin Area Manager Association Sales

80 Debra Lou Williams

Tech-ex survives near-fatal skydiving accident For 31-year-old Debra Lou Williams '77, '85, escaping the limelight that surrounded her near-fatal skydiving accident in April was almost as difficult as figuring what went wrong 10,000 feet above the Arizona desert.

The hazel-eyed Merkel, Texas, native readily admits that she owes her life to Greg Robertson, a veteran of more than I,500 jumps, who was in the proverbial right place at the right time.

Williams, a 50-jump veteran, was knocked unconscious when she collided with a fellow diver about 9,000 feet above the desert floor near Coolidge, Ariz. She was participating in a six-diver formation drop at a daylong skydiving rendezvous in April.

After the initial impact, she hurtled groundward at more than 200 miles per hour for more than 2-1 / 2 miles before Robertson managed to intervene.

The 25-year-old Phoenix safety and training adviser pulled out of a headlong dive, propped Williams into an upright position and yanked her chute's rip cord before releasing his own. The two were only 10 seconds from the ground. Williams, still unconscious from the collision, hit the ground back first.

She remembers nothing about the 46 JANUARY-FEBRUARY 1988

accident. "All I know is what everybody has told me," she said.

Williams spent 28 days in Scottsdale (Ariz.) Memorial Hospital and Humana Hospital in Abilene undergoing treatment for several broken ribs, internal injuries, a lung contusion and other injuries.

Williams' reasoning for eschewing interviews initially was more a matter of misdirection than it was of privacyshe simply believed the recognition should have been aimed at the rescuer instead of the rescued.

Williams, an elementary school teacher, earned bachelor's and master's degrees from Texas Tech. Surprisingly, she hasn't completely ruled skydiving out of her life.

"I'm not going to say for sure that I'll never jump again," she said. "But right now anyway, I'd say I probably wouldn't do it again. If I don't, I know I'll still have my scuba diving."

Obviously, Williams said, she views life a little differently now.

"I know I'm lucky to be alive," she said. "I've been given a second chance, so I think I'd better make the most of it. I really feel like there's a reason I've been given a second chance.

"I hope I take advantage of it." (By Stephen Kaye, Avalanche journal)

tions while I was at Tech," he said.

"I've played first base, designated hitter and pitcher."

Segrest believes this reasoning was needed more for him than for the value of the team.

"When I was a senior at Lubbock Coronado, I tore some shoulder muscles," he said. "This limited my abilities on the mound, so I was used at first base and as a DH." He also saw to it that baseball was more than a way to idolize his favorite players-to him, athletics gave him the chance to make some great players his friends.

"I enjoyed my career at Tech," he said. "It was where I met all my friends. Through athletics I met some terrific guys like Dale Redman, John Grimes and Jimmy Zachry," he said.

The Tech-ex earned an undergradu· ate degree in 1983 and a law degree from Tech in 1986.

DOZIER ENDOWMENT ESTABLISHED An endowment in memory of Allen Dozier '85 has been established at the Texas Tech School of Law by Allen's former classmates. Allen died on July 8, 1987, as a result of an apparent suicide. He had been working as an associate with the Abilene firm of Glandon Erwin, Scarborough, Baker, Choate & ' Arnot.

The purpose of the endowment is to establish the mechanism for instructing all students attending Tech Law School in the dangers of stress and the tech· niques available to manage it. This would be accomplished through a combination of talks given at first year orientation, establishment of individual support groups, and an annual seminar on stress management for all Tech law students. It is anticipated that attorneys would also be allowed to attend the seminar at a nominal cost.

Persons wishing to contribute to this endowment may send their donations to the Allen Dozier Endowment, Texas Tech Law School Foundation, Texas Tech School of Law, Lubbock, TX 79409. Anyone having questions or comments about the proposed activities of the endowment can contact Darvin Morrison, P.O. Box 10236, Lubbock, TX 79408, phone (806) 7639555.

do you define "dumb?" We all do stupid things now and then. Sometimes it is just little things like forgetting where we placed our keys or inadvertently using spray deodorant for our hair spray.

These can usually be overlooked and chalked up to either senility or our preoccupation with more important matters. My friends, however, will define as "dumb" someone who spends a beautiful Sunday afternoon running 26.2 miles through New York City. Yep, I've been accused of being "dummer 'n dirt" because that's exactly how I spent my birthday along with 22,000 of my closest friends.

Three years ago, I ran my first (and only, I thought) marathon in San Francisco. I did it just to be able to say that I could and figured that would be the end of it. Evidently, three years is the amount of time required to forget how much pain I had experienced before I could consider a repeat performance. I have kept up my running habit over the years with shorter distances, never considering going through that ordeal again. The problem was that two (former) friends of mine kept telling me what a thrill it was to run the New York Marathon. These old Saddle Tramps, Mike Gallagher and Clark Briggs, refused to let me ignore their ramblings. Gallagher even went so far as to send in my application and help me get accepted.

Now I was concerned. I had no choice but to prepare for and run in the biggest marathon of them all. After four months of heavy training, we flew to the Big Apple for this memorable experience. And memorable it was. The New York Marathon is the best organized event of its kind that I have ever been associated with. Every detail was extremely well handled with over 4,000 volunteers coordinated to take care of every facet of this project. The two-and-a-half million spectators along the route proved that New Yorkers are not rude all of the time as they cheered us on and offered encouragement every step of the way.

The bottom Line is that we finished!!! It was not easy. In fact, it may be the hardest thing I have ever done. By the time I reached the finish line in Central Park, I was overwhelmed with a wide variety of emotions: pain, relief, satisfaction, accomplishment and joy. I wanted to laugh ... I wanted to cry. I contend that there are very few atheists crossing marathon finish lines. Over 26.2 miles, you become very close to your God. Personally, I know I made several promises to Him that I will never be able to keep!

I have always felt that each of us should establish goals and objectives for ourselves in life and to meet as many challenges as possible. This was certainly one in my life. living life to the fullest offers so many rewards. To live otherwise... well, it's just plain dumb.
