Upcoming choices crucial to Tier One status

By Dr. Mason H. Somerville, Dean Texas Tech University College of Engineering

Texas Tech's Academic Council, comprised of the aca demic vice president and academic deans , has spent a good deal of time over the past year examining Tech's status among the state's ins titutions of higher education , the impact of House bill 2181 , and the strategies Tech might adopt to assure its position as a Tier One, major research universiry.

In House Bill 2181 , the State Legislature amended the Educa tion Code , empowering the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to "classify and prescribe the role and scope for each public institution of higher education in Texas, " to direct these institutions to make changes in role and scope, and to approve or reject applications from institutions for such changes. It appears clear that the Legislature intends to establish a tier system , and that Texas Tech cannot afford to overlook the implications of thi·s intent. 'The choices made by Texas Tech and the College of Engineering within the next 12 months will be c rucial to the future of the Universiry.

By drawing upon and emphasizing our strengths, we will be ab le to establish Texas Tech as a Tier One universiry. Outlined below are some of the steps we are taking.

I. Building upon the reputation of our academic programs. Texas Tech offers high qualiry educational programs at the undergraduate, graduate and professional levels. The Universiry and the Co llege of Engineering are working to establish a broad-based undergraduate core curriculum as required by Texas law.

2. Ensuring that it is easy for qualified students to attend Texas Tech. By restructuring admissions procedures, Texas Tech can increase the number of students who have a high probabiliry of graduating and concentrate its resources upon those students. Closer coordination of the activities of recruitment , admissions and academic affairs should facilitate the achievement of this aim, as will the increases we are seeing in the number of scholarships and graduate fellowships available.

3. Strengthening the research and graduate programs by concentrating resources upon the strongest and most promising programs. Such action must be based upon a thorough self-study. The Legislature has mandated that the Coordinating Board " conduct a review of all d oc toral programs offered at institutions of higher education" by December 1992. It is our intention to present to the board a self-study supportive of their legal requirement to review our programs and our plan for development of those programs. Research involvement is crucial to the intellectual vitaliry of both faculry and students, and Texas Tech faculry have worked long and hard to build solid research programs. Several of these programs have national and international reputations.

Increased state funding resulting from higher graduate en rollments would allow the hiring , training, and supervision of more junior facu lry, thus keeping faculry/ st udent ratios at desired levels. Because competition for Ph.D.s in many fields (including eng ineering ) is keen , salaries must remain competitive with those in industry, and increases must be based on merit to the extent possible

All of these measures, of course , require funding, both state appropriated and private , and we are counting upon your support as alumni in securing both. Texas Tech alumni, especially those who are concentrated within the major metropolitan areas of the state, have the opportuniry to work through their alumni groups to help establish Tech as a Tier One institution.

With full r ea li zation of this potential, Texas Tech will be in a position to determine its own destiny.

What You Can Do As an Alumnus

You can :

I. Sponsor a student scholarship fo r as lit tle as S250 per year

2. Join the 21st Cen tu ry club and build our endowment for as little as $I 00 a year

3 Join one of the College of Engineering alumni groups: TEAM (Dallas/ Fort Worth) , Houston, Albuquerque , Lubbock.

4. Offer to help recruit students Contact Garry Poffenbarger at (806/742 3456 ) .

5 Offer to help Tec h provide information to legislative members.

6 Call me or one of our associate deans for assistance in solving technical problems that your company might have : Mason Somerville, dean ; Monry E Davenport, associate dean ; , or Darrell L. Vines, associate dean, (806)742-3451.

4

. Maintaining a healthy faculry recruitment and retention program. The upgrading of admission standards as men tioned above will do much to maintain faculry morale.

The next few years will, in all probabiliry, be the most crucial time in Tech's history. We need your help now if we are to be successful and be recognized as a Tier One institution.

A Strange Crowd

The Ex-Students Association is to be congratulate d on their great effort in honoring the 1938 graduation class. Peggy, Bill Kimbell and many others did an outstanding job , and it was a shame that we did not have another 100 or more to attend.

Those who did attend, however, were a strange crowd. Two had not been back to Tech in 50 years, over 50 percent had never seen a Tech football game in Lubbock, and many had never heard of the Red Raider Club, Century club, Endowment Fund, etc. This means they are not contributing to anything at Texas Tech and therefore do not get the Techsan magazine. If you had to depend on these people, there would not be an Ex-Students Association.

I don' t know why more who do support Texas Tech did not come They missed two days that were most enjoy able

Thanks again for your part in making the Ex Students Association an organi zation

Allen Story Kudos

The }ames G Allen feature in The Texas Techsan about the presidency of Clifford B }ones was a super piece of writing. I feel that Dean Allen has righted a number of wrongs and has given us a compassionate picture of this unusual West Texan

At the time of his presidency, he was criticized so severely b y well-meaning people that I felt sorry for him and for the University

I am glad that Dean Allen has placed Mr }ones in a much better perspective. He was possibly the staunchest supporte r of Texas Tech of any of its presidents with the exception of Dr. Hom.

I also looked forward to the next article about Dr. Whybum. He was one of the Tech presidents I knew the least about.

Uoyd H. Glover '35 Pharr, Texas

What's Happening Now?

One comment on your magazine, if I may. Pictures of professors rec eiving obscure awards are to be expected However, the substance is lacking regarding general events taking place there at Tech.

For instance, have dorms gone co-ed yet? Alcohol on campus? What were the major topics in the University Daily? As an ex located 2,500 miles away, topics of this nature are also of great concern Please keep it und e r consideration.

J Blair Sanders '79 Windham, Maine

(Editor's Note:) To answer your questions briefly: No co ed dorms ye t , although the renovated Gordon Hall will have one wing for women and one wing for men No alcohol o n campus yet. The board of regents is not con vinced that some University functio ns might be enhanced with the addition of cocktails or wine, so many special events have moved off campus. And the majo r issue adopted by the UD this past year was "safe sex," fo r which a number of articles were written During the Homecoming parade , staffers even handed out condoms to adult members of the crowd to further awareness of their cause.

Awash in Human Urine

As a Texas Tech graduate ( Arts & Sciences '80) who lives in New York City, I feel I must respond to De bbie K Mann's biased article in the Corpus Christi Caller-Times dated Nov. 17, 1987 and reprinted in the Letters section of the March-April Texas Techsan

I am not a Sports Illustrated reader, although I have read about Douglas Looney's ridiculous remarks in the pages of your magazine. His opinion of the Tech campus is so absurd that it does n o t warrant any further comment. However, I see no evidence in Ms Mann's experience that would support a contention that S.l. displays any para noia about the subject of Texas Tech in particular. It is not common procedure to "drop in" on the editorial office of any major magazine without an appointment. (Please note that Ms . Mann did not deign to c all in advance to see if an appointment was possible, thereby saving herself a trip through our nasty subway system. )

As to her colorful description of New York's Rockefeller Center area, let me say: Come on, Debbie! As a writer, you know that words can find thorns in any rose bush I do not deny that much of what you write in yo ur article is true (albeit helped along by imaginative exaggeration), but it is also true that I could create a smear job of Lub-

boc k that w o uld contain not one word of untruth and make the Hub City appear th e ugliest , most unpleasant place on earth That's just the power of the written word. I think it's unfortu nate that you transferred your ire at Mr Looney t o New York in generai.

Ms Mann's description of New York makes it seem awash in human urine Although it is true that the city has an unfortunate lack of public restrooms, her prose gives new meaning to the term "yellow journalism." The article also states that in Manhattan, "dogs and humans have one thing in common: A good bathroo m is hard to find. " When she gets a chanc e , perhaps Ms Mann will clue me in to where a dog would find a "good" bathroom

In one of her most creative state ments, she describes a stray Nissan hubcap , "lost, no doubt, in a vicious battle on the hazardous street." In the eight years I h ave lived in New York, I have never seen such a battle. However, I must admit that it's amusing to imagine several c ars driving up Sixth Avenue and battling it out " Ben Hur" style Which is probably where Ms Mann go t her idea-from a movie screen Nor have I ever seen trash on the sidewalk piled 10 bags deep. Perhaps this is another cinematic memory.

I also doubt that any of the women in New York wear sneakers to protect th e ir good shoes from "unpleasant surprises" on the sidewalks I wear my cowboy boots to work every day and the only thing they need protection from is wearing down on the concrete. Nor do I find it necessary to bleach the bottom of my boots when I walk to work, as Ms. Mann suggests.

I could continue to critique this piece of "creative" journalism, but I think my point is dear New York is not a perfect city; such a place d oes not exist But if Debbie Mann ever visits New York again, I hope she is in a better frame of mind, and opens her eyes to the wonders and beauty contained in this city, which I believe to be a living museum of America's proud history.

Bill Durham '80 Briarwood, New York

(Editor's Note:) In Ms. Mann's defense , I read her article as a comment much in the same journalistic vein as Mr Looney's-exaggerated beyond fact. Send your letters To The Editor Box4009

No lazy summer days in chapter program

By Jim Douglass

The "dog days" of summer are upon us as the ExStudents Association closes out its summer chapter meetings and prepares for fall. We have had an excellent round of local gatherings across the country, as many Tech-exes have met and shared good times. The West Coast swing of meetings will be held in August, and we look forward to meeting with the great people at those locations.

This fall promises to be a very exciting one as many fun events are scheduled around various football weekends. As always, the Association (in conjunction with the Red Raider Club) will be sponsoring a recep· tion for all Tech fans prior to each out-of-town game. The schedule of these pre-game get-togethers is in this issue, so make note of them and attend as many as possible.

The real excitement is over the Coca-Cola Bowl game against Oklahoma State on December 4 in Tokyo, Japan. We will be traveling with hundreds of Tech fans as we visit Tokyo and Hong Kong in support of the Raiders Many of us will take advantage of the three day layover in Hawaii during the return. This should prove to be the most enjoyable Tech trip ever and undoubtedly classified as a " trip of a lifetime." If you would like a detailed brochure on this great adventure, contact the Ex-Students Association office, (806) 742-3641.

Homecoming for 1988 is set for the weekend of September 23 24 in conjunction with our SWC opener against Baylor. As usual, th ere will be lots of activity including the Century Club Scholarship Banquet and

Dance, pep rally, parade , the Red Raider Road Race, pre-game barbecue and lots of other receptions, breakfasts, reunions and many good times for all Make plans now t o be a part of it all!

At Homecoming last year, the Ex Students Association presented the annual Community Service Award to a stude nt organization in the College of Business Admin· istration, Delta Sigma Pi It was mistakenly labeled under the photo in our November December issue as Delta Sigma Phi. Our apologies, and thanks for bring· ing this to our attention ·

Ranch trip highlights 1938 reunion

By Peggy Pearce

The class of 1938 was treated to two days of activities highlighting points of interest on the campus and providing quality sharing time with friends and acquaintances.

Tours of the Ranching Heritage Center and Tech Museum began the trip down memory lane together on Thursday, May 12. That evening, the group traveled by charter bus to the McNeill Ranch just east of Crosbyton in Blanco Canyon At the first cattle guard they were loaded onto a wagon for a scenic ride along the trail to the campsite for a sunset steak cookout.

Friday morning the group was given a campus tour in vans furnished in part by Scoggin-Dickey Buick and Fenner Tubbs Automobile Co .

A University update included a current video relat ing issues and research at Texas Tech Nancy Birdwell of Tech's Office of Development also greeted the group and answered questions.

During the luncheon, which followed in the University Center Ballroom, Lubbock radio personality Big Ed Wilkes '56 served as master of ceremonies. Dr Hoyt Eudaly '38 gave the invocation, KCBD 1V promo tion manager Rod McClendon '80 entertained with c ustomized songs featuring class members. Rex '38 and Madge '42 Webster led a sing-along. Mary Pic kle Kelly '38 provided background piano music during the luncheon and for the sing-along. Each member of the class who attended the luncheon received a diploma and certificate while having an individual picture made with Executive Director Dr. Bill Dean Activities c ulminated with a reception held in the Ex Students Association building Friday afternoon

A brief description of the 1988 Distinguished Alumni follows:

Bob Bullock

Austin, Texas

Texas State Comptroller Bob Bullock '55 has been the state' s chief tax collector and fiscal officer since 1975 He is recognized as an expert on taxation and finances.

Both the business community and other public offices have acclaimed Bullock's achievements in the accuracy of the official state revenue estimates, in regional economic studies, in state tax analyses and in assisting local governments to improve their accounting systems.

Bullock's economic work during Texas' recent boom-and-bust period has overshadowed his accomplishments as the state's chief tax collector, a job that made his name a household word in his first years in office

Since becoming comptroller in 1975, Bullock has collected S79 billion in state tax money, includ-

ing $12 billion from big national companies who do business in Texas but keep their books out-ofstate

His tax collection programs have been noted for cutting red tape, for writing rules in plain Englis h and for establishing quick, conve nient access for taxpayers who need answers and assistance.

Bullock says he has tried to bring hard work and common sense to every position he has held, including service as Secretary of State, Assistant Attorney General, aide to the Governor and member of the House of Representatives.

Bullock has never lost an elec tion He won his first contested statewide race with more than 70 percent of the vote and has twice been reelected comptroller without opposition from either Democrats or Republicans. He is a lifelong Democrat

While still in law school at Baylor, Bullock won his first election

to the state legislative House from his Central Texas hometown of Hillsboro He graduated from the Baylor Law School in 1958 Prior to that he had seen combat in Korea with the Air Force then returned to Texas to earn a degree in government from Texas Tech in 1955

Bullock and his wife, Jan, are the parents of three children and live in Austin.

T. Scott Hickman

Midland, Texas

Scott Hickman '57 has excelled as a petroleum consultant while maintaining a heritage of service to his church, his community and to higher education.

Hickman earned a bachelor's degree from Texas Tech in petroleum engineering and a master's from Louisiana Tech He did addi· tional graduate work in geology at

Distinguished Alumni to be honored

Dr Walter McDonald

UT Arlington.

After 11 years with Texaco, Hickman moved to Midland with the dream of being an independent operator. He became instead a widely recognized consultant who has advised hundreds of clients about billions of dollars in oil and gas investments. T Scott Hickman & Associates Inc. specializes in evaluations and reservoir and secondary studies that are accepted · by the financial community throughout the United States, Canada and Great Britain.

The earlier dream still finds expression in various energyrelated joint ventures and through 50 percent ownership in Pecos Operators Inc., which originates and drills oil and gas prospects for private investors.

Hickman has been a leader in various professional societies having served as president of the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers in 1987. He has been a guest lecturer at several colleges, and his commitments to his community include award-winning service to the Campfire Girls Inc., the Midland Junior Baseball Association and his church.

Hickman is a longtime supporter of Texas Tech in many areas and was president of the Ex-Students Association in 1983. 1n 1986, he was designated a distinguished engineer by the Texas Tech College of Engineering and serves on several advisory boards within the college.

Hickman and his wife, the

former Gladys Crandall '57 , have three children-a Tech graduate, a Tech student and an entering Tech frestunan.

Frances Mayhugh Holden Lubbock, Texas

Frances Holden has a long association with Texas Tech, earning a bachelor's degree in 1936 and a master's in 1940 in anthropology and history. She is the wife of historian W Curry Holden and has devoted much of her life to assisting him in historical research

In addition, she is a writer, and active in such areas as museum administration, research, exhibition of art, history and science. Her most recent book, "Lambshead Before Interwoven," was published in 1982 by Texas A&M Press.

Mrs. Holden was a leading force in the development of the West Texas Museum Association, support arm of the museum.

She was instrumental in the establishment of the Lubbock Cultural Affairs Council and continues to be very active

In 1967, she became co-chairman, with her husband, of the Ranch Headquarters Committee at Tech, responsible for establishment of the Ranching Heritage Center

Mrs. Holden served three terms on the Texas Fine Arts Commission, chairing its education committee; was a member of the plan ning committee for the first Governor's Conference on the Arts

By Marsha Gustafson

in 1968; and represented the commission at four national conferences on the arts and at the organizational meeting of the Texas Council of Arts in Education.

An active philanthropist , Mrs Holden was greatly influential in the campaign to build a new museum for Texas Tech , and the Ranching Heritage Center stands also as testament to her encourage ment of philanthropy

The William Curry and Frances Holden Collection of personal and professional papers and memoirs has been donated to the Southwest Collection archives at Tech.

Mrs. Holden is the step-mother of Jane Holden Kelley, noted anthropologist and archaeologist in her own right. The Holdens have, for 30 years, also served as in locus parents for a Yaqui Indian woman, providing her a home and education from the time she was 6 years old until adulthood.

Where towns are dry and so is the Chardonnay

Get this, pardner-on the high plains of West Texas, farmers who once grew only cotton are planting vineyards!

By Marsha Gustafson and Scott Brumley Photos by Darrel Thomas

est Texas, particularly the South Plains, evokes many mental images, most of which are related to the area' s characteristic cattle, cotton fields and flat, sandy terrain.

But Napa Valley take note: Chateau de Bubba and vin du Lone Star have arrived .

No winery is actually called Chade Bubba. That's just the West Texan's way of acknowledging the new "crop" that is putting the unlikely area on the wine producing map, and doing it in a big way.

Perhaps unlikely isn' t the right word to use, for the fine , sandy soil, hot days and cool nights are perfect for grapes, which translates into perfect for wine. Already, two West Texas wineries have competed against the best America has to offer and come out_big winners.

South of Lubbock is the winery llano Estacado which has won a giant size portio n of medals for excellence. Last year at the San Francisco Fair and Wine Competiti o n, the llano Estacado Chardonnay won a double gold award (the highest), with only 11 such awards given out to 1,955 wines, including those from California.

The Pheasant Ridge winery, just north of Lubbock, won a gold medal in that same competition , and this chardonnay is on the wine list at Spago in Los Angeles, wh e re diners pay $24 for a bottle of the

West Texas beverage.

Not that California's wine barons need to fret just yet about Texas or the 38 other wine producing states. Roughly 90 percent of the wines produced in the U.S still come from California, where about half the country's 1,200 wineries are located.

Leon Adams , generally consi-

dered America's preeminent wine historian, said, "There's no question the high plains is a viticulture miracle . No one realized this area could produce world-class wines. It is an amazing story."

Bobby Cox '75 of Pheasant Ridge added, " If this region had been settled by the Portuguese or Italians, there would be 500,000 acres

of grapes and it would be a worldfamous region "

Actually, wine making in Texas is a craft that has been practiced for more than 300 years. Historical records indicate that Franciscan friars began growing grapes and making wine in 1662, 100 years before the first vines were planted in California. However, Texas wine makers have faced historical difficulties, the most formidable of which was the institution of alcoholic prohibition implemented by the ratification of the 18th amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The effects of prohibition on Texas' wine industry proved to be deleterious. The number of wineries in the state dropped from a high of 25 in 1900 to one wine-making operation in 1930.

The resurgence of the wine business in Texas occurred somewhat by accident, when a couple of Texas Tech professors-nowretired chemist Clinton McPherson and horticulturist Bob Reedteamed up to make home vintages

As Reed tells the story of their early efforts, one day some grape vines planted for student observation had to be dug up to make way for a new road. "I thought the plants would make nice vines for

my patio, so I took them home," he said. "I was amazed at how well they grew."

In 1975, the two Tech professors established the Staked Plains Wmery, what is now llano Estacado, and wine-making had been given a foothold in the Lubbock area.

West Texas' 3,300-foot elevation helps blunt the summer heat, and its sandy soil ensures the good drainage that vines must have. But making wine here still takes something extra. llano Estacado finds the winds so strong it doesn't dare use ordinary stakes to support the vines. But this being Texas, there is a ready alternative: Oil driller's glass-fiber "sucker rods."

The number of people who still think of West Texas as strictly cotton, cowboys and cactus is diminishing, and that trend is due to continue with the addition of a newly formed Texas Wine Marketing Research Institute at Texas Tech. The institute, part of the College of Home Economics' Restaurant, Hotel and Institutional Management program, devotes its energies toward providing marketing data and advisory support for Texas' growing wine industry.

Director John Fitzgerald said that, of the several wineries scat-

tered across the state, the largest number of wine-making operations are based in southern and southcentral Texas. Despite the quantitative advantages wineries in other parts of the state have over South Plains operations, Fitzgerald explained that the Lubbock wineries maintain a decided advantage in quality

"There are some excellent wines produced around Fall Creek in south Texas, but those wineries are isolated. The best grapes in the state are grown here around Lubbock," he said. "There are more and more wineries on the way. This is a very large grape-growing region and its potential is unlimited."

Currently, preparing to join the big-two wineries in West Texas is another producer which owes its existence to a drive last year to sell public stock in the venture. It has yet to be named and probably will not begin producing wine at least until next year.

Fitzgerald said the Lubbock wineries are prime examples of the current trend in wine production in Texas. The state's wine makers currently are seeking to establish their wines in the premium vintage markets, concentrating their marketing efforts within Texas, he explained. But attention is being given the Texas wines from competitions far and near.

llano Estacado and Pheasant Ridge wines have won medals and other awards in such competitions as the San Francisco Fair and Exposition, the American Wine Competition, the Atlanta International Wme Festival and The Dallas Morning News National Wine Competition.

The popularity of Lubbock wines and the region's propensity for growing what Fitzgerald says are the "best grapes in the state" signaled a dilemma for local wine makers. What would be the best way to effectively market the wines produced in the South Plains?

Enter the Texas Wme Marketing Research Institute. Fitzgerald claims Tech could play "a crucial role" in the development of West Texas as a prime wine-producing

region. 1brough efforts of U.S. Reps. Kika de 1a Garza, D Texas, and Larry Combest, R- Texas, staff members from the wine marketing research institute traveled to Vm, Italy, April 6 14 to study the potential for establishing Texas wines in the European market.

Institute staff members, with $50,000 in funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the RHIM program and Texas wineries, looked into how Texas wines were received in the wine exposition in Vin.

"Right now in Italy, if you say 'Texas,' they think of John Wayne, rodeo and that kind of thing," Fitzgerald said "Tilis represented a 'coming out' , a sort of debutante ball for Texas wines in Europe."

He added that the Tech institute faces another task besides boosting the Texas wine industry-beating competing universities to the punch. "It's imperative that Texas Tech get involved in the wine industry, or another Texas university will," Fitzgerald said. "In marketing, we say it's better to be first, and we have that advantage. Being first is no guarantee, though. At

sive," Fitzgerald said . "It's really up to the South Plains community interested in wine to see that the Texas wine industry does indeed continue to grow," he said, adding that the responsibility is acute in the South Plains since the region is

'wine' when you think of the Napa Valley in California. We have two fine wineries here. We're small, but we 're good ."

Fitzgerald even goes so far as to predict that the South Plains will become one of the major wine producing areas in the world.

"The saga continues," he said. "Our next big project is to pursue funding, which will be necessary both in terms of capital investment in wineries and money to operate the institute. The potential is there and the need is there. In the future , Tech's wine institute will be a great asset, just like the wine industry, to the area."

Hightower added that " In only a single decade, Texas wine producers have go ne from being giggled at to winning gold medals." Certainly "giggled at" is an understatement. The Chicago Tribune' s Mike Royko fairly hooted in his column only last year, when the Ste. Genevieve winery introduced a new variety.

"I am taking it upon myself to declare the macho image of Texas as being stone-cold dead," Royko wrote . "Let Billy Bob and Bubba keep on wearing their snakeskin boots and Stetson hats, cooking whole steers on spits, bellowing for blood at football games , singing about Willie and Waylon and the boys and remembering the Alamo

Tech, we're image-conscious, and I think the marketing institute could make a positive impact on the economy of the state-which would reflect well on the University "

The industry the institute is studying indeed has the potential to become a formidable economic factor in Texas Estimates from Texas Department of Agriculture Commissioner Jim Hightower indicate that, ' 'when it's fully uncorked, the Texas wine industry will mean $3 billion a year to our state's economy' ' and create about 40,000 new jobs.

"You project those figures on out and they're going to be impres-

home to llano Estacado and Pheasant Ridge-wineries he said are two of the very best

And just what kind of impact could the wine industry have on the Lubbock area, should it continue to "ripen on the vine?"

" I see a great boon to the local economy," Fitzgerald said "We (the institute) foresee a major tourism industry, which is something completely new to this area. The wine industry could be the worm that brings the fish in," ref erring to tourism bringing in other types of corporate ventures

"In 25 years, people are going to think of the South Plains of Texas and say 'wine' just like you say

"But it's all over. I have conclusive evidence before me of the wirnping of Texas It' s a breathless announcement about a new wine called-get this pardners- 'Texas First Blush .' "

Such is the abuse that Texas wine makers must endure

But that's okay, they all agree . In the past decade, the wine industry in Texas has grown fast , thanks in part to agricultural developments such as drip irrigation. In 1982, 50 ,000 gallons of wine were bottled in the state. In 1983, the number grew to 160,000 gallons and in 1985 , 465 ,000 gallons were bottled.

" Initially, people will try a Texas wine because of Texas pride," Fitzgerald said. "But it's the quality that will keep them asking for the native wine-because it' s good."

Tech's Outstanding Women

Texas Tech has some of the best.

Historically, administrators and professors of universities have been men. But as women enter the professional workforce in larger numbers, they have been filling these "masculine roles" in academia with considerable success.

At Texas Tech, two women serve as deans, one as a vice president, one holds an endowed chair appointment, and countless others "man" administrative and professorial posts while bringing national recognition to themselves and the University.

A survey this spring of administrators and faculty revealed, indeed, that women play a vital role at Texas Tech University The following list represents a sample of the individuals whose names were mentioned in those surveys as making a positive contribution to the prominence of Texas Tech University.

Dr. Jane 0. Burns

Jane Burns, an accounting professor in the College of Business Administration, holds the prestigious Frank M. Burke Chair in Tax- jane 0. Burns

ation She arrived at Texas Tech in 1986 from Indiana University, where she was professor of accounting and Ernst & Whinney Faculty Fellow

"The quality of the College of Business Administration and the accounting area are as good as, if not better than, what I see ranked in the top 15 in the country," she

said . "I hope to get the word out to the public. lbis is a high-quality program We just don't have the recognition "

Burns' chair is a $600,000 endowment given in honor of Frank M. Burke, a nationally prominent accountant and Tech-ex.

At Tech, Burns' jobs are varied She is an accounting professor, and she plays a leadership role in the graduate program, trying to increase the size of the master's program in taxation. Since she has been at Tech , Burns has established a group called the Masters in Taxation Association, which meets once a month with certified public accounting firms. The purpose is for the students to become better acquainted with the people with whom they will be working and with what they do

In addition to her faculty responsibilities, Burns is serving as president elect of the American Taxation Association and will become president in August. She has just finished a three-year term as editor of The Journal of the American Taxation Association and is working with two other people on their three textbooks in taxation, which have been in publication four years.

Bums earned her Ph .D. degree · in 1976 from The Pennsylvania State University at University Park and the BSC and MBA degrees in 1961 and 1968 from the University of Louisville.

Professor Georgette Gettel

An associate professor of music, Georgette Gettel has spent the past year going from teaching piano in the music department to working with fellow elected faculty mem bers and administrators on the Faculty Senate

Gettel has been a member of the Senate for six years, serving in 1987-88 as president of the highly visible group.

"I guess people have noticed me because of the nature of the position of being president of the Faculty Senate and being active in faculty government," she said lbis has been a landmark year

for the University, spiced with heated debates and recommendations from the Faculty Senate to the Tech administration and Board of Regents on such subjects as admission standards, faculty reten tion and salaries, the Tier One proposal and White Paper report, and image studies of the University

Gettel has been at Tech since 1963 after receiving her bachelor's degree from Northwestern University and master's from Indiana Uni versity A year's study in Hamburg, Germany, on an exchange program scholarship also provided a great educational opportunity and experience, she added

Among her professional associations are the Music Teachers National Association, the American Association of University Professors and the National Conference on Piano Pedagogy Pi Kappa Lambda and Sigma Alpha Iota musical society claim her membership. At Tech, Gettel patronizes the University's chapter of Mu Phi Epsilon and is a member of the Quarterly Club.

"

I am very honored to be in this group," she said about being selected for inclusion in this article. "I hope I was chosen because the faculty saw something of my integrity and fairness in dealing with the administration while serving on the Faculty Senate."

Dr. Elizabeth G. Haley

Bess, as she prefers to be called, has been dean of the College of Home Economics since 1981. She is also a professor of human development and family studies in the college In her duties as dean, she oversees 65 full-time faculty, countless other part time teachers and graduate assistants, as well as 2,000 undergraduate majors

When Haley is not spending all her time thinking about ways to promote the College of Home Economics, she is dividing it by serving various roles in professional associations and working on committees.

One such responsibility is that of president of the American Home Economics Association Foundation. She served, also, as president of the National Council of Administrators of Home Economics and she holds a seat on the board of directors of the American Home Economics Association.

"I've had a lot of opportunities to work with people from throughout the University," she said. "I also work with very interested and supportive alumni of Texas Tech. The experience has been very enjoyable "

"Texas Tech is a very exciting place to be, with a great group of students with professional goals."

Haley's goals for the future include expanding the research

and graduate programs in the col lege, maintaining a high quality of education, and continuing to meet employment needs of the nation and the state.

Originally from Louisiana, Haley earned her first degree from Louisiana Tech. She later pursued master's and doctorate degrees, graduating with both from Florida State.

National Cotton Council She has also served as the national director of the American Marketing Association and has done extensive volun teer work with the United Way and the Lubbock State School.

Due to all of her efforts and accomplishments, Luchsinger has amassed several honors. She was recently inducted into the Chi Chapter of Phi Beta Delta. Also last year, she was selected for the Faculty Distinguished Leadership Award. In 1986, the Golden Key National Honor Society selected her as an honorary member.

Luchsinger earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Arkansas and her master's and doctorate from Texas Tech.

degree from the University of San Francisco. In 1960, she was Mrs. Richard M. Nixon's personal secretary Murray was responsible for the first affirmative action program on the Berkeley campus.

Perhaps the most important position she has held in relation to her duties at Texas Tech was the vice presidency for development and alumni affairs at the University of Louisville. There, she was responsi ble for the Quest for Excellence campaign which raised more than $50 million for the University.

When asked about her goals for Texas Tech, she replied that her first priority is building endowments and launching more campaigns for other sources.

" I suppose I was chosen for this list because I am the vice president and a woman," she said. "Also the function of raising money for the institution makes this position important. This is a very important mission "

Dr. Louise Luchsinger

If you can catch Louise Luchsin ger in her office , you are fortunate. If not, you can talk with her secretary, who has nothing but words of praise for the professor.

"She is just a super person," said Evelyn Perkins, Luchsinger's secretary. "And she's everywhere doing everything. Tech is always her main interest, and the number one prior ity with her are the students."

Luchsinger is the director of the undergraduate program in the College of Business Administration She is also marketing professor and member of the Faculty Senate budget c o mmittee.

Coach Marsha Sharp

Tech's women's basketball program has been under the mentorship of Coach Marsha Sharp for six years. Sharp's demand for excellence in the classroom as well as on the basketball court distinguishes her as a positive motivating force in the lives of her players (O nly one of her players in the past six years has not received a degree )

"

I think it's really important that the players leave with a sense of accomplishment and that they have improved themselves as people so they can go out and be productive citizens ," Sharp said

Sharp was a member of the Way land Baptist Flying Queens, a nationally recognized basketball program She played as guard, but said she was " too little and slow and not a very good jumper." She received her bachelor' s degree at Wayland and earned a master's of education from West Texas State.

With a won-loss record of 1455 7 prior to this season, Sharp believes in the value of teaching fundamentals. These fundamentals will help her team as they try to defeat Texas and win the South· west Conference.

Sharp lectures at various camps and clinics including the summer Red Raider Girls Basketball Camp. Her book "Basketball Basics" has

Dr. Vu-ginia M. Sowell

Virginia Sowell wears many hats at Texas Tech. When she is not teaching in the College of Education, she is acting as assistant vice president for Academic Affairs and Research.

Academically, her area of expertise is with future teachers of the blind, working with the outreach program for teachers of the blind. There are presently 25 such programs in the nation, and Tech has the only one that goes off-campus to its students. Tech currently has classes held in Victoria, Ainarillo, Texarkana and El Paso.

The main idea behind the program is to help master's students who already teach to learn how to teach the blind. Tech is one of five

Dr. Mary Jeanne van Appledorn

Music is all around Tech' s famous "Dr. Van." A grand piano takes up half of her office with the other half being a desk and table

"There is something ·about music that communicates to performers and others alike," she said. "it's a direct appeal. "

She came to Tech in 1950 after receiving her bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees at Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y

Since that time she has worked with countless students who remarked about "Dr. Van's" brilliance and individualism. As they have traveled out of Texas, many have sent back comments from conductors and musicians that Texas Tech and the state do not realize what they have in Mary Jeanne van Appledorn.

Although there are many other outstanding women at Texas Tech, this small sample is representative of the quality and expertise of the whole group. And Texas Tech's prominence has been enhanced by their academic contributions.

Dedicated to Excellence

A quality research program attracts quality faculty.

By Preston Lewis

Through the 1980s, funded research at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center &hool of Medicine h as outpaced the growth of federal funds available for medical and health research.

In 1980 Medical &hool research at the Health &iences Center brought in $1.5 million, compared with the $5.37 million projected for the current fiscal year, reports Dr. Kenneth L Barker, associate dean for research, basic sciences and graduate studies. For the fiscal year which ended last August , research funding totaled $5.39 million

" Overall federal dollars for medical and health research have increased less than two-fold since 1980 while our research funding has grown three-and-a-half times over," Barker said . " Titis is a result of an enhanced level of competitiveness by our faculty with other scientists in the U.S."

In reviewing those factors, Health &iences Center Executive Vice President Dr Bernhard T. Mittemeyer said it is important to remember that it has been less than 20 years since the Texas Tech School of Medicine was established .

'We are still a young institution, but we have come a long way in our brief and productive history," Mittemeyer said. " Because we are so young, it is impossible to be all things to all people, so we have had to focus our research on a few areas so to provide the solid foundation upon which to build future research strengths."

For instance, the area of repro ductive biology has emerged as one of the Health &iences Center's major strengths nationally. Barker said an emphasis began to develop in reproductive biology early in the

1980s not only because of medical implications but also because of agricultural applications. Since the basics of mammalian reproduction are the same for humans or anim als, the field seemed a natural for the Health &iences Center because of West Texas' extensive livestock industry.

Reproductive biology research conducted by 12 faculty now accounts for $1.4 million in funded grants to the Health &iences Center Further, HSC departments hold 4 percent of all the grants awarded nationally for research in reproduc tive biology by the National Institute of Child and Human Development.

HSC research is developing strength in the multidisciplinary areas of neuroscience , hemato logyimmunology and infectious e nteric diseases, as well as in nephrology and pain control, Barker said.

Early Health &iences Center research was confined primarily to the basic science departments in Lubboc k , but now the HSC's broad ening research effort is including more clinical departments and the Regional Academic Health Centers in Amarillo, El Paso and Odessa

As a research incentive, the &hool of Medicine since 1984 has provided between $100,000 and $186,000 annually for seed money to 20-30 Health Sciences Center fac ulty with promising research proposals . Barker said about half of the faculty awarded internal seed monies have later received external support to continue their research projects.

" Since 1985 the Seed Grant Pro gram has provide d a return in federal and private research grants seven times our investment," Barker said.

Those financial returns, though, are not the only gains an institution receives from a solid research program, Mittemeyer said.

' While we never forget that our primary goal is to educate quality students, we also recognize that research enhances that classroom experience by providing them the inquisitive foundation upon which so much of medical science is built. "

Further, a quality research program attracts quality faculty, enhances the professional reputation of a· medical school and contributes ultimately to the health of all of us

"The Texas Tech Health &iences Center has an excellent ongoing research program which is co ntinually growing," Mittemeyer said.

"O ur faculty members are dedicated to excellence and we are committed to expanding our research to the benefit of our stu dents, our faculty, our institution and, most importantly,

Dossie M. Wiggins 1948-1952

Icouldn't quite put it all together. He had served 10 years as professor of education and student dean at a small denominational college 160 miles so uth of Lubbock before he became president of the El Paso School of Mines, a small athletic-oriented college we felt was not in our class.

I had heard reports on how well he had run that college. I had listened to his praises sung by a friend with connections in El Paso, salted by commendation of his business acumen and of his smooth working relations with the community. He had been mentioned for our presidency four years earlier, when Dr. Whybum had been chosen. So though his candidacy had not gotten off the ground then, now he was not an unknown.

Whether his purported lack of interest in the Texas Tech presidency in 1944 had been real or a come on we would never know His positive response four years later could be explained both by the difference in the time schedule-he was by that time 52-and by the negatives that had become positives, such as the S6 million in our savings reserve, ready for the new president to spend. Too, there was now the advantage of following a president who had been unpopular, because he lacked exactly those qualities Dossie M. Wiggins would bring with him

And this time he did not have much competition. Maybe we were running out of presidential candidates, what with our having to find a replacement every four or so years Whatever, the board of directors elected him presi dent six days after the meeting at which they had accepted Dr. Why bum's resignation

As I have said, Dr Wiggins had been commended for the efficiency with which he could run a college. While the members of our board of directors, all businessmen, could allow for the vagaries of the academic minded, they understandably would feel more comfortable working with a president who

thought as they did, who approached college problems as they would have So I was not surprised, if a little less than elated , when Dr. Wiggins was chosen as the fifth president of Texas Tech. I did not feel, somehow, that he was quite big enough for us.

He was not a big man, physically. Short and trim, and dapper as to dress, he bristled with energy. You became aware of him the moment he entered the room You sensed the defensive attitude of a man who suspected that you might consider his professional b ackground inadequate His having served as principal at a number of high schools in Northwest Texas had been climaxed by a superintendency there. Then came his deanship and professorship at Hardin-Simmons College fol lowed by his presidency at the small state-supported college with a strong ethnic character at El Paso. Understandably h e may have felt , and with justifi cation , that he had to show, had to evidence, confidence. And had to come out with answers, the right answers, immediately.

I did not quite like it. He always seemed slightly amused, his light and ready chuckle the sound effect for his concluding remarks. For me, who was

inclined to take everything a bit seriously, he was not quite acceptable. At least , he could have acted as if he viewed our opinions as important, whatever he actually felt I thought that he owed that much to those of us who were working conscientiously at our assignments.

President Wiggins was the luckiest president Texas Tech has had. No major problem was waiting for him, nor did any develop during his short tenure. On the positive side was the S6 million h e found on hand to be spent as he as president decided, assuming, of course, that he could get the board of directors to go along with him He had no reason to think he couldn't do that. In fact, that was what he did best, especially when he had S6 miUion to motivate him

And enrollment was booming, always a plus for any president For the problems an increasing student population produced were manageable ones, especially with all that money They were good ones, such as more professors and staff to hire, more residence halls to provide, more class room buildings to plan and erect

And following an unpopular president was the sort of break that Presi dent Wiggins could capitalize on as easily as anyone I have ever known And o n his slow way up to the El Paso School of Mines presidency and during its unstressful 10 years, he had had the opportunity to learn all the answers he would be called upon to give here

To help him do his job at Texas Tech, he assembled the largest office staff any of our presidents up to that time had had And he knew that they were both efficient and loyal

He brought with him two major assistants and a business manager In addition the board of directors that had elected him president had created a new major administrative position, that of vice president. The story abroad in no time after Dr. Wiggins had been elected was that upon the announce ment of his appointment, Dr E N.

By James G. Allen

Dossie Marlon Wiggins

jones, the runner-up , had called to offer congratulations and to apply for the newly created position. Dr. Wiggins accepted his offer with alacrity Thus, a fourth major staff member of excellent quality joined the Wiggins team.

And that team was a winner The two office assistants were studies in contrast. One was a masterful trouble shooter, likeable, realistic, and practical to the point of one-syllable directness. He could give the presidential "no" with a combination of force and humor that made his impromptu contacts enjoyable. He was the most effective expediter I h ave ever known. His ingratiating bluster smoothed the administrative waters.

In contrast , his counterpart was meticulously precise A long-time professor and department head in business administration, he found no detail too small to justify his continuous attention. No possibility was so slight as not to invite his terrier-like insistent pursuance.

The business manager, one of the two El Paso School of Mines imports, was both exceUently trained and a tireless worker. His answers were so clearly the President's that one did not bother to carry further up the line a

ments he was an expert, at his best.

The college grew physically during his administration, with 11 new build ings and five major additions, one of the more important of which was the adding of two wings to the Administration Building. The elaboration of the President's suite in the east wing was evidence of Dr. Wiggins' awareness of Texas Tech's growing public and the n eed to impress it. His sensitive acute ness told him it was tim e for us to change roles , to cease being motheaten and to show a little plush. In this as in so many other ways, he showed himself to be a master of public rela· tions

Of th e same order was the complete refurbishing of the President's home I am sure that Dr. and Mrs. Wiggins would have been quite wiUing, perhaps would have preferred, to occupy simpler living quarters It was just that he felt that it was high time for Texas Tech to begin to show discreet touches of elegance, now that the pio neering period had passed and the depression was over.

It had been just this very philosophy that had led Dr Wiggins to get his Ph D at Yale It made easier the mar keting of what in the last analysis was

wh o could see so far into our future and had the courage to make decisions, not always popular at the time, that would yield results we now enjoy. That there were those who felt the funds he was spending beautifying the campus could be better spent elsewhere seemed to concern him not one whit.

Though it would not open until almost a year after he had resigned the presidency, the student center building was actually a product of his adminis tration, and in every sense was the reflection of his instinctive disposition to anticipate and facilitate popular demand. The long-delayed realization of a center for on-campus student activities, its preliminary stage a recreation hall combining three army surplus buildings I had raised funds locally to buy and set up , was of his fostering , its financing from bookstore savings and a student fee allocation. Although the Student Center would go through two more additions before reaching its present dimensions, President Wiggins anticipated with its first unit a longoverdue facility for Texas Tech stu dents .

And there were other things, important things , that were less of public awareness at the time , but of major future import. Though Texas Tech had offered graduate work for many years, it was not until Dr. Wiggins' administration that a division of graduate stu dies was formally established. In this same period the placement service, essential to the effective marketing of o ur graduates, was set up. President Wiggins was quick to identify such a practical need

request involving finances that he had denied. With these three, President Wiggins always had just what he needed to make the quick, seemingly off hand decisions that filled his day

The new vice president became the presidential front to the academic area, where his high seriousness and his deep respect for the faculty and their assignment both restated and capitalized upon the emphasis President Whyburn had made on academic excellence. He supplied exactly those qualities President Wiggins wanted in the very areas they were needed most.

These four administrative aides disposed of the routine business of the President's office, reducing to a minimum what needed Dr Wiggins' per sonal attention, his final approval. Thus he was freed to do what he liked to do most-tend the development of the physical plant and deal with the off campus public At both of the se assign

the same commodity. He knew that to become a college president he would need the degree, its field making little or no difference He knew also that a prestigious eastern college would do it best. He would h ave chuckled as he said that

His explosive building program was primary and began to show imme diately. The local public was pleased with his move to effect a master plan for the landscaping of the campus, the approach to which up to that time had been characterized by a spasmodic immediacy which evide nced no prospects for an overall ultimate result. The employment of a fuU-time landscape arc hitect, with adequate staff and budget, was a characteristic decision of President Wiggins, whose awareness of public impact was sound. Today, when I hear visitors express their surprise at the beauty of Texas Tech's campus, I silently pay my respects to the man

I do not remember just when or exactly how I l earned that fraternities and sororities were coming to Texas Tech Possibly through the public press What I do know is that the stu dent deans did not participate in this decision Perhaps long acceptance of the ruling made by the first board of directors, upon the recommendation of President Horn, that such groups would not be admitted to Texas Tech, had over the years converted us to this decision as compatible with the democratic character and personality of our student body.

With careful attention we had built a social club program that had most of the good qualities and few of the often cited faults of the fraternity sorority system Our private evaluation was that except for national affiliation, we had everything they had except houses, which our extensive residence hall sys tem would seem to prohibit. And lodges had provided us an acceptable

substitute. So we were understandably surprised to learn, without warning, that upon Dr. Wiggins' reco mme ndation the board of directors had approved fraternities and sororities for Texas Tech

My final conclusion was that Dr. Wiggins felt they furnished just one more piece of evidence that Texas Tech had arrived , th at with the addi tion of fraternities and sororities we had reached one more of the mile stones that assured the public of our progress. He was committed to the principle of acquiring for Texas Te ch whatever the public accepted as th e status symbols of higher education

No one of the many changes tha t Dr Wiggins made at Texas Tech better characterizes him as an administrator and as a person He knew that if he opened the question for consideration of deans or students, the decision would very likely be "no." We had done that good a job with our social clubs. Since the bringing in of fraterni ties and sororities was a popular cause off campus, he elected to make the decision himself

The directness with which President Wiggins could handle a college prob lem, even one with highly sensitive implications, figured significantly in my professional life In a c onference late in his second year, Dr. Wiggins informed me of his plan to pull toge ther under one d e an the programs then being directed by the dean of men and the Elean of women After identifying what

he felt would be gained, he asked me bluntly whether or not I thought I could work harmoniously with the dean of women as a me mber of my staff

I recognized his question as stem ming from the lack of harmo ny in the two operations reflecting a difference in my philosophy as dean of men from that of a previous dean of women, selec ted by a president who had little feeling for student personnel. She had

years was, in my opinion, the result of what he considered his ultimate professional objective That there should be a bank presidency offered him was possible only because there was awareness that he would be interested in it, that he would consider it a professional advancement. Only he could have made that awareness possible.

As he approached the end of his fourth year as president of Texas Tech, the $6 million he had found awaiting his disposition had been spent. He had done everything he saw, mostly in a physical sense, that needed to be done at Texas Tech, and he had done it all with good results. No one knew better than Dr Wiggins that there was a time to come and a time to go, and the time to go for him he knew was when everything was shipshape.

them , and had achieved just the kind of success a bank president would have aspired to.

I wager he never once regretted his decision, though it was an incomprehensible one to me When at five o'clock on his last day as president of Texas Tech he walked out of the east wing, first floor, of the Administration Building, as far as I know he never looked back Not once Unlike the third president of Texas Tech, wh o upon his resignation also became a president of a Lubb8ck bank, Dr Wiggins turned loose c ompletely.

He had a new job with what was no doubt a big salary, though I never knew exactly what his salary as bank president was All I am sure of is that it

had no real e xperience in the field, unle ss a very generous interpretation would ac cept her presidency of a national music al organization as a sub stitute After ide ntifying with him the base of his question, I pointe d to the c ompatibility of my operation with those of the other deans of women with whom I had worked I replied that I c ould, as roundly as he had raised the question. So directly could he m eet a sensitive problem and dis pose of it. My appointment as dean of student life was announced shortly.

His resignation at the end of four

was more, very likely much more. I do know that the difference would have had significance for him That he should have ultimately almost reached the status of millionaire, largely through inheritance, seemed exactly right.

And if I had suggested that the intangibles of his college presidency s hould have made him hesitate resign ing it, he would have chuckled.

I can just hear that chuckle

The Enterprise Campaign-

First things rtrSt: Getting organized

By Francie Lowe

Colette M. Murray, Tech's new vice president for Development, found her work cut out for her when she arrived on campus in early February.

The energetic new administrator, whose background includes development leadership at the University of California at Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz and the University of Louisville, literally hit the ground running , and has had a full schedule of meetings with individuals and organizations both on and off campus.

She has also been "on the road" a great deal, speaking to corporation and foundation leaders throughout Texas and across the country on behalf of Texas Tech.

Murray is impressed with the success of the Enterprise Campaign and the "incredible" amount of support she has discovered for Tech, but makes it clear that the University has its work cut out for it if the challenges to education for the rest of the century are to be met " My first priority has been to get our development efforts organized and coordinated," she said, "so we can operate efficiently and get the job done. I've concentrated on bringing the staff of the Office of Development up to full strength, getting our records on computer, and streamlining our procedures for donor recognition and record keeping. In addition , I've spent a great deal of time just getting to know the campuses, talking with administrators and key volunteers."

Murray sees as one of her important tasks coordinating development efforts by the various schools and colleges and support organizations

"Tech is fortunate to have so many friends working on its behalf," she said. "But we can run into problems when a donor is approached by half a dozen different groups at the same time It's important that we coordinate our efforts to make sure our friends get the opportunity to support the programs or projects that will mean the most to them."

A leader in professional organiza-

tions, including CASE (The Council for the Advancement and Support of Edu· cation) , Murray said that institutional advancement has changed greatly over the l ast couple of decades

"It's a highly professional field, with skilled specialists competing for the available funds, " she said.

For instance, she explained that 20 years ago institutions such as Texas Tech received almost all their support from the state and federal governments, and it was sufficient for their needs.

"Since then, however, these funds have decreased and become harder to get. You have to present a very good case, for instance , to attract research funding, and this is one of our top priorities, since we want to be a firstrate research and graduate institution. The money is there, but we will have to work to attract it. "

Because of the shortage in public funding, Texas Tech and other statesupported institutions have turned to the private sector, Mrs Murray said "The private sector, including corpora tions, foundations and individuals, is very supportive of our goals. But we have to present Texas Tech as an insti tution worthy of their support. It is important to get the word out about what is happening at this University.

"I think we 'r e attracting a lot more support from the private sector than even we realize," she added, "which is one of the reasons we need to coordinate our efforts. Surprising as it may seem, foundations look at an institution's record of support, and they are more likely to give to a school which is already receiving a high level of support."

A major thrust of the Development Office is going to continue to be attracting this foundation and corpora tion support, Murray said

"Nancy Birdwell , our director of development for foundations / corpora tions, Dr Cavazos and I have been very active in identifying and cultivating organizations which might be suppor-

tive of our efforts. We have made contact with every foundation in Texas and with a great many national organizations, and we think these efforts will pay off in the future ."

Individual giving, by alumni and other friends, is also vital to the future of Texas Tech, Murray said "Annual giving provides unrestricted funds , which can be applied to areas of need for which public funds cannot be used . We need to greatly increase this kind of giving We're going to work very hard to enrich the programs of groups like the President's Council, which is a very important support organization "

Focusing on particular needs, Murray said, "There are many areas of concern, but some are more pressing than others . The Health Sciences Center has a critical need for financial support. We've already seen the difference the HSC has made in the availability and quality of health care and professionals in the region But the cost of medical education, of research, and of facilities and equipment, is enormous, and growing. We must attrac t substantial support for our programs "

Fortunately, Murray said, Dr. Bern hardT. Mittemeyer, executive vice president of the HSC, is very aware of institutional advancement. He has made considerable progress in getting the Tech story out. A newly organized Medical Foundation will provide volun teer leadership in fund-raising efforts. An internal Development Council will support and coordinate development efforts And professional development staffs at the Office of Development and at the HSC will be engaged in institu tional advancement.

Murray reflected her enthusiasm for the future of Texas Tech by saying, "I've been really impressed by the loyalty and support of our friends. I know now what kind of spirit has made Texas Tech what it is We have the potential for building a really great University and Health Sciences Center With the right kind of support, I'm confident we will achieve that goal. "

nA helpful phone call, a congratulatory note, a copy of the magazine , a visit in the candidate's home, -a little caring for the college bound student and a littl e sharing of your ideas and experiences can go a long way in helping us in our continuing effort to attract the best possible candidates to Texas Tech. Ex-students' participation can make the difference

TEXAS TECH IN RETROSPECT

The Southwest Collection: Bursting at the seams

Re cently, the Southwest Collection conducted a physical inventory of its holdings in order to confinn statistical data collected during its 33-year history.

The effort revealed that the Southwest Collection has accumulated a vast amount of information related to the history of the region served by Texas Tech , as well as to the University itself

Collectively, the Southwest Collection's holdings serve as the physical memory of Texas Tech , West Texas and the American Southwest. Annually, more than 6 ,000 persons from many different states and foreign countries make use of the facility

Our holdings now comprise nearly 18 million items , including 8 ,561 boxes containing more than 17 million pages of personal papers and business records collected from throughout the American Southwest. Although this material represents the "heart" of the

Southwest Collection, there are thousands of other items which contain unique information for students and scholars to use

Included are more than 6 ,000 oral history tapes and sound recordings, 10,000 reels of microfilm, 6 ,000 posters, broadsides and other oversized items, 14,000 pieces of sheet music, 900 rolls of film and video tape, 2,500 maps, 4 ,800 historic telephone and city directories, 53 ,000 newspaper issues, 300 ,000 photographs, and 40 ,000 books More than four miles of shelving are required to store the materials.

Unfortunately, many years ago, the Southwest Collection ran out of space in its limited facilities in the old library, which has served as its home since 1962. Currently, materials are stored in borrowed space in the main library, the Museum and at the Textile Research Center, more than five miles away.

The Southwest Collection needs a new facility which will allow it to

grow into maturity, fulfilling its mission as one of the nation's major research centers. Plans call for a 60,000-square foot building which would house in controlled environmental conditions the existing collections and would allow room for systematic growth, as well as space for a conservation laboratory, exhibits and teaching facilities

The University's commitment to the preservation of the history and culture of West Texas and the Southwest is clearly evident from its strong support of the Southwest Collection during its 33 years. However, for future generations to benefit from these efforts, Texas Tech will need major help from the private sector to construct an appropriate facility for the archives.

A new building will allow the Southwest Collection to continu e fulfilling its responsibility to pre serve the region's rich heritage and to keep pace with the growth and development of Texas Tech as a major research institution

The vice chairman of the Texas Tech Board of Regents

says he is "greatly disturbed" by the minority enrollment statistics at Tech. Current minority population totals about 2. 5 percent black and 6.5 percent Hispanic.

"I am very concerned with these statistics," said Regent Wesley Masters of Amarillo.

He said the primary reason for Tech's low minority population is because the University lacks resources for minority scholarships.

"The richer schools have more scholarship money, which draws the students away from Tech," he said. "I don't blame them for going elsewhere."

To overcome Tech's lack of scholarship funding, Tech must project a "caring atmosphere" and an image that "our doors are open," Masters said. "We're wanting to help students, and President Cavazos is doing all he can to provide for minority students. Tech is working very hard, but it all boils down to one question: 'Where's the money?'"

Masters said it also is difficult to

school students during their sophomore and junior years, not just during their senior season.

Despite Tech's lack of scholarship money, Masters said, Tech is "headed in the right direction" with financial aid programs, including Tech's student loan program, which "helps us with retention of minority students."

Masters said although there is concern about the current statistics, he believes Tech's future looks bright.

Giles McCrary, mayor of Post since 1968, received the Doctor of Humane Letters degree from the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center May 28. Dallas developer Trammel Crow received the honorary doctorate from the University at its May 13 exercises.

The other honorees will be James L. "Rocky" Johnson, chairman and chief executive officer of GTE Corp., who will be awarded his doctorate at Tech's commencement in May 1989 Turgut Ozal, prime minister of Thrkey, will be awarded the honorary degree at a later commencement, when he can attend.

The Tech Board of Regents selected the four to receive the degrees at their March 25 meeting, but delayed tpe announcement until all four candidates accepted.

McCrary is an independent oil operator and rancher who has long been active in promoting West Texas. He received the Cultural Award in 1982 from the West Texas Chamber of Commerce for his support of the arts and community development.

His prototypes of large indoor atriums in modem buildings have been widely copied. Crow was inducted into the Texas Business Hall of Fame in 1985 and into the U.S. Business Hall of Fame in 1987.

Johnson, a native of Vernon, graduated from Texas Tech in 1949 with a degree in accounting. He joined the General Telephone Co. that year and was elected to his present position last April.

A longtime supporter of Texas Tech, Johnson remarked recently that, "My education made the difference between really living a full life and just existing."

He has served as director of the Texas Tech Medical Foundation and the West Texas Museum Association. He is recognized as a major developer of the South Plains Emergency Medical Services, which covers a 15-county area around Lubbock.

Crow entered real estate development in 1948 and has built the Trammell Crow Co. into the largest development company in the world. Appropri· ately, his Dallas Market Center project is the largest merchandise mart in the world.

Ozal is an engineer and economist who has headed the government of Thrkey since 1983. In selecting him for the honorary doctorate, the Board of Regents r ecognized Ozal as "an exceedingly trusted and valuable supporter of Texas Tech University through exchange programs with Thrkish universities."

Center Medical Director Dr Robert P. Yost said the goal of the center is to help prevent injury and to optimize and accelerate the treatment and rehabilitation of a person once an injury has occurred.

"The level of sophistication in treating sports injuries has increased signifi cantly in recent years," Yost said. "It has become a m e dical specialty that is as important to the weekend athlete as it is to the profeSsional and recrea tional athlete."

Yost and Dr Kim Foreman, both orthopaedic surgeons, head a team of physicians and physical therapists who treat athletic injuries These can range from simple mUS<;le pulls to sprains and knee damage, which is one of the most common of th e serious sports injuries

The reuni on luncheon was held in El Centro, Home Economics Building. Special guests included other of the Board of Rege nts and the 100 year-old mother of 1938 graduate, Billie Bloom Eaton.

In additional studies, obese and nonobese female subjects were tested for food preferences after consuming meals high in protein and carbohydrates. Both the obese and non -obese subjects reacted the same toward food after eating, even though the obese usually rated the food higher than the non-obese Generally, the obese subjects rated all food higher than the non-obese subjects under all conditions. This suggested that the obese subjects found food more desirable than the non obese individuals. The obese subjects seemed to prefer flavorful foods which were high in fat content. This increased desire for more flavor may result in overconsumption of bland food or frequent consumption of flavorful food .

This study was supported by funding from the Texas Tech University Institute for Nutritional Sciences

International Lean Beef Chairman

for the Limousin Breed Jan Hamilton '63, a current graduate student in food and nutrition, was invited to present a scientific paper at the International Congress of Dietetics in Paris, France, in July.

asks Dr. Margarette Har(len, associate professor of food and nutrition Some scientists believe that a subtle link does exist .between di e t and individual behavior. In the 20th century, no longer are some people suffering some vitamin deficiencies or malnutrition caused by a lack of food due to economics, by alcohol consumption, by anorexic or bulimic conditions, or by environmental condi tions varying from drought to the loss of interest in eating as demonstrated by some of our elderly population. Effects of overconsumption can be seen as both physiological and psychological problems.

For several years, cooperative projects with faculty in the psychology department have focused on effects of dietary carbo hydrate ( CHO) on mood and behavior in adults Preliminary data suggest that there are distressed populations who crave and consume increased quantities of CHO foods.

The topic discussed was "Decreased Red Meat Consumption in English Speaking Countries: A Positive or a Negative Effect on Health." The body of her presentation stated that, basiciilly, iather than giving up red meat, people should prudently trim fat from the meat.-

"lt will ne\rer be in the best interest of any country to eat less animal foods as a health measure," Hamilton said she cited other researchers who conclude that findings that link the overconsUmption of animal fats and cholesterol to degenerative diseases, animal foods are more critical to sound nutrition than are plant foods."

" Beef is nutrient dense, " Hamilton said "Beef is high in zinc, Vitamin B-12 and iron, which is the ratio of nutrients to calories, beef has similar fat, calories and cholesterol to chicken and fish , and it tastes good. Somehow, nothing satisfies basic body requirements like beef."

luncheon honoring the 1938 home economics alumnae on May 12 Wendell Mayes Jr , chairman of the Board of Regents, presented each alumna with a commemorative medallion.

Pilot data of the mood response of bulimic female subjects to high CHO lunches showed decreases in fatigue and depression with moderate reductions in anxiety, confusion and discontentment. Control females reported an increase in fatigue after the CHO meal as compared to a high protein meal.

The Lean Beef Promotion Committee was formed in Limoges, France, in 1986. The purpose of the committee is to coordinate diet/ health research information and share information which will reveal the " long overdue true story about beef and its value in the diet ."

More than 70 people attended the 50-year

Alzheimer's Disease: Tech links missing pieces

The cause of Alzheimer's Disease still remains a mystery. Nonetheless, Texas Tech's Alzheimer's Center, along with other departments at the University are combining their knowledge to help victims as well as caregivers combat the disease that is aftlicting an estimated 2.5 million people in the United States.

The center has two main purposesthe first being an information and referral center, which is a front door for families who do not know what their first step will be once they discover a family member has developed the disease The second purpose of the center is a memory disorders clinic, which is counseling for the survivors

Dr Thomas Hutton of the Tech Alzheimer's Center is also the chairman of the Texas Council on Alzheimer's Disease and related disorders.

One faculty member working closely with the Alzheimer's Center is Dr. JoAnn Shroyer of the interior design program in Home Economics.

Through her own work, she has discovered that patients need plain wall coverings, as well as floor surfaces because patterns tend to confuse and frustrate patients. She has found that large areas produce anxiety in patients and care units should have secluded areas Furnitw:e should have round , soft edges and should not have patterns to confuse the patients.

Shroyer has examined memory loss , impaired judgement disorientation, loss of language skills and personality changes to develop the best possible environment for these patients, because so little is being done in this area.

"We design on the assumption that w e think we know what they need," she said

With this being just one academic area participating in Alzheimer's research, Tech is becoming a good base for information conc erning patients and their caregivers

"I am very proud that in Texas, our center has been identified as the biggest interdisciplinary approach to Alzh eimer's Disease by the commissioner of the Texas Department of Health," Hutton said. It is also the only one funded in Texas

Hutton is combining knowledge gathered from Tech's research and will hold a state-wide conference in San Antonio in October It will be primarily for caregivers and people who run nursing homes. (By Ann Miniatas)

TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY HEALTH SCIENCES CENTER

Special Cotntnittee gives The HSC a 'thutnbs up'

By Preston Lewis

The results of a special state coounittee visit to the Health Sciences Center this spring, reports Executive Vice President Dr. Bernhard T. Mittemeyer, went a long way toward removing any doubts about the HSC's past successes, current viability and future potential and need

The Special Committee on PostSecondary Medical, Dental and Allied Health Equcation is visiting the state's eight medical schools and by Oct. 1 will issue a report to the legislature.

" Members of the committee with whom I spoke were not only pleased with their visit but also grateful for the outstanding presentations made," Mittemeyer said. "As a result of their visit, they will be able to represent the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center much more effectively in their report to the

legislature and will be able to point out that we are doing what we were charged to do in our basic mission-producing the health professionals our region needs.

"

I believe they have a much, much better feel for who we are and what we are doing, specifically with orientation to rural health needs, existing indigent health care problems and the requirements for educating health professionals where they are needed. And, I sin cerely believe they recognize that the taxpayers of Texas are getting an excellent return for their investment in the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center. "

Seven of the nine Special Committee members participated in the site visit which included stops at the Regional Academic Health Centers at Amarillo, Lubbock and El Paso. All eight of the members of the committee's Medical Advisory Committee attended, as well

Special Committee Chairman Jamie Clements said the committee's charge is to examine several areas, including the most effective system of governance , the role and mission of each institution, longterm Texas manpower needs for health professionals, the role of research in institutions, the role of medical and dental institutions in the delivery of care to Texas residents and cost-effective methodology to fund health-related educa tion.

"There is no secret agenda to what we have been asked to do ," Clements told reporters during the Lubbock visit and then noted, "I think you are here to stay."

Clements said, "You're doing, I gather and I am told, a unique job in covering West Texas and in bringing medical education and all the good things that go with that into this part of the state."

Mittemeyer had welcomed the visit because it would allow the

Dr. Charles W. Sargent (right), director of the Health Sciences Center Library, makes a point about the faciHty's computer resources during an inspection by members of the Special Committee.

HSC to show its accomplishments, not just tell them, and to explain the uniqueness of its organization and mission.

"For instance, prior to the visit several committee members didn't really understand the assignment of our medical students during the third and fourth years to Amarillo, El Paso and Lubbock," he said. "Now it makes sense to them and, I believe, they have a much better understanding of the importance of training students and residents in the four-regions of West Texas in order that they might remain here to set up their practice These are regions that are as far apart as Houston from San Antonio or San Antonio from Dallas ."

Testimony by HSC officials during the committee's public hearing helped to clarify the institution's mission and goals and to counter some misconceptions, ranging from the purpose of the Regional Academic Health Centers to the quality of HSC students, particularly in medicine

Nancy Tarwater, manager of admissions and student affairs in the School of Medicine, told the committee, "While the GPA and MCAT scores of our students might be slightly lower than that of their peers in the state, there are no differences in attrition through the four years, and there are no differ-

ences of FLEX scores after graduation."

Another indication of the high caliber of our medical students, Tarwater said, is their record in the National Resident Matching Program, which places new medical graduates in residency programs. This year 93.7 percent of the HSC's senior medical students were matched initially, compared to a national norm of about 90 percent. This year 75 percent of HSC's medical seniors were chosen by their first or second choice of residency programs.

"The match results clearly indi cate that our school and its graduates are well regarded at both state and national levels," Tarwater said, noting that HSC students this year were matched not only with outstanding residency programs in Texas , but also with such prestigious programs as Yale and Stanford

In addition to Tarwater's report on the admissions process, other Lubbock testimony was given by Mittemeyer on the role scope and mission of the HSC, by Medical Dean ). Ted Hartman on the multicampus system, by Nursing Dean Teddy Langford on the HSC's tetenetworking efforts, by Associate Medical Dean A. Bryan Spires on continuing medical education, by Associate Medical Dean Kenneth

Barker on HSC research and by Family Medicine Department Chairman Theodore Kantner on the impact and importance of the family practitioner on rural health and quality care.

In Amarillo the committee was briefed by Associate Dean Walter Dickenson and in El Paso by Associate Dean Joseph Brown III. Testimony was also presented in El Paso by Maria Elena Flood on the Area Health Education Center and by Jennifer Gapter on the Maternal and Infant Health Improvement Act.

"These visits to our Regional Academic Health Centers," Mittemeyer said, "were of great value not just t o the Special Committee but also t o the Medical Advisory Committee with its members from the state 's other medical schools. Many people don ' t realize that much of the support we have had in the past, even during the trying times, has come from our colleagues and peers in the health sciences centers of the University of Texas System, Baylor and Texas A&M.

"The visits to each other's facilities have not only strengthened our respect for each other, but also have shown us that Texas is blessed by having health sciences centers that aren't all peas out of the same pod. We have differences which meet the respective needs of the regions and which g ive our students and residents an opportunity to better choose the program where they want to train, based on what their ultimate life goals are."

Mittemeyer said the success of the HSC's presentation is a direct result of the hard work of the faculty and staff who make the institution what it is, a vibrant and growing health center with a positive future

"First and foremost , I want to commend and thank the faculty and staff- most especially those involved in the presentations, but everyone else as well-because it was a combined effort from the bottom on up to project a very positive, upbeat image of who we are and where we are going."

From the podium, Dr. Bernhard T. Mittemeyer briefs members of the SpecUJ Committee on the HSC's accomplishments

No more cha-cha-cha

Spike Dykes to unveil flnest offensive team in Red Raider history.

By Joe Hornaday

Undoubtedly, Spike Dykes will disappoint some Texas Tech football fans this fall . There always is an armchair quarterback in the crowd who yearns for a headset down to the field. Normally, it is the offense that draws his wrath.

"No imagination. Boring. Cha Cha offense (one-two-three-kick):' Without going too far out on a limb , Dykes and offensive coordinator Dick Winder will unveil the finest offensive team in Red Raider football lore this fall Sorry, no tight ends at fullback. No defensive backs at quarterback. No wide receivers who are used only for decoys.

This offense might or might not carry Texas Tech to the Cotton Bowl. What it will do is excite you. It will make you wonder what is coming next Best of all, it will move the football and score points.

If 3 0 games are your cup of tea, forget Jones Stadium. Last year' s 36 35 win over TCU was just a glimpse of things to come in '88 .

"We have a good, strong nucleus coming back," said Dykes of his offense that finished 18th in the nation in scoring last year. "Every skill position on offense is filled by somebody who has started at least the past two years "

The Sporting News Magazine, a

national publication that is one of the foremost authorities on college football, thinks so much of Tech's 1988 offense that it selected the following:

• Six Red Raiders on their preseason All-SWC offensive team

• The Smurf receivers (Eddy Anderson, Tyrone Thurman and Wayne Walker) as the best group of pass catchers in the country

• Ervin Farris as the nation 's second-best fullback, Anderson and Walker as the fourth- and fifth-best receivers in college football Tyrone Thurman as Division 1 's fifth best all purpose back and James Gray as the country's eighthbest 1 back.

• Of course , it takes a triggerman for everything to jell, and Texas Football Magazine, the bible of football in the Lone Star state, says the Raiders have one. It named Billy Joe Tolliver as the best quarterback in the Southwest Confer ence, as well as the league's best passer.

Remember, Tolliver is no rookie . He already has had some memorable thrills, like guiding Tech to a 27-21 victory over eventual Cotton Bowl champion Texas A&M last year and a 17-7 triumph of thenNo. 8 Arkansas in Fayetteville in 1986 He' s just looking to string

more of them back-to-back

"Billy Joe had a great spring," said Dykes " His decision-making was improved and his knowledge of the game has progressed "

Don' t get that wrong The Raiders will not score 50 points every game this fall. They will have to endure some bad games, but then who doesn't? But with seven starters back from a team that led the SWC in scoring ( 28 6 points a game), yards per play (5.5), thirddown conversion rate ( 45.5 percent) and narrowly missed leading the league with almost 400 yards a game, there must be reason for optimis m .

Wouldn' t it be great to put together a football team that could have its all time leading rusher, passer, receiver, scorer, kickoff returner, punt returner and field goal kicker all playing together? Dykes just might be running down the ramp with all of them starting in September

Here's a look at each category:

Career Rushing Yards: Junior James Gray, with 1,619 yards, has a good shot at breaking the school record of 2,794 yards set by James Hadnot.

Career Passing Yards: Senior Billy Joe Tolliver is almost a cinch to shatter Ron Reeves' record of

4 ,688 yards. Tolliver comes into his last season with 3 ,887 yards

Career Pass Receiving Yards: Senior Wayne Walker already owns this one with 1,823 yards.

Career Scoring: Senior Scott Segrist, with 13 7 points, can reach Bill Adams' mark of 195 points with a good season Segrist did not score as a freshman .

Career Kickoff Returns: Should senior Wayne Walker return kickoffs on a full-time basis, he could eclipse Donny Anderson's re c ord of 1 ,309 yards. Walker has 917

Career Punt Returns : Senior Tyrone Thurman owned the school record at the end of his sopho more year With 1 ,186 yards, he is just 194 yards short of equalling the Southwest Conference record.

Career Field Goals: It will take a banner season but senior Scott

Segrist is capable of kicking 1 7 field goals to reach Bill Adams' record of 43

Of course , Dykes is not one to stand up and beat his chest about his football team He 'll remind you that four excellent offensive line men from last year have departed and fuzzy new faces are not going to be able to just step right in where the other s left off You are only as good as your blocking.

Here's one vot e for offensive line coach Ted Unbehagen. An instructor deluxe , look for him to mold tackles Charles Odiorne and Jessie Hurst, guard Chris Shafer and

Nathan Richburg and center Lem Wright into a cohesive unit

Although there is one returning starter (Odiorne) and only one senior (Shafer), I'll bet Tolliver thanks them at the end of the season for helping him look good.

So if you miss the fun at Jones Stadium this fall, don't say yo u weren't forewarned. Feel sorry for yourself, and while you are at it, you might do the same for Mid night Raider. He's the only one having to race around the field after every score.

I can hear it now "They're wearin' that poor horse out ." :tl

The Sporting News magazine claims Texas Tech has the l1nest group of receivers in the U.S. They are (top row, from left) senior Eddy Anderson of Dallas, senior Tyrone Thurman of Midland and senior Wayne Walker of Waco; (seated) sophomore Rodney Blackshear of Houston and junior TnYis Price of W1nk.

Baseball's All-Significance Team

By Preston Lewis

Baseball would not have been the same without them. And, neither wou ld America. They are the representatives of baseball's "All-Significance Team" as selected by Texas Tech history professors Drs. James W. Harper and Joseph E. King.

The two professors were among the first historians nationally to develop for college credit a course using baseball as a window on American history. Though many courses in sports history had been taught at universities previously, theirs focuses on baseball because it, more than any other sport, has become entwined in the nation's social fabric, literature and conscien ce for a century and a half.

Their "All-Significance Team" was selected on the basis of the individual's influence on the game and their symbolic stature on national issues.

"Baseball is the scholar's sport," Harper said. "Its pace provides time for reflection, and its pen chant for record-keeping provides the documentation valued by historians."

"Among all the sports," King said, "it is the most democratic. It has more ethnic, cultural and national diversity than the nation's other major team sports."

Besides providing a unique view of American history, the course also allows King and Harper to pursue their lifelong interests in baseball. King grew up in South Brooklyn, just a quick subway ride from Ebbetts Field, and followed the Dodgers during an era when they were always battling for a pennant and that elusive World Series Championship.

King's most memorable baseball moments were being a member of "Happy Felton's Knothole Club" and, at 10 years of age, shaking

hands with Gil Hodges.

Harper grew up in West Vrrginia and became a St. Louis Cardinals fan. His first visit to a major league game was a major disappointment, as a 150-mile drive to Cincinnati ended in a rainout and a long trip home.

Between King and Harper exists a friendly rivalry of baseball scholarship and partisanship, each teaching the course in alternate spring semesters. But in the interest of history, they did put aside their personal differences to come up with a combined "All-Signifi cance Team." Well, almost!

As Harper put it, "The good choices are mine, the bad are King's."

Now, their "All-Significance Team" and the reasons for their selection. First , take the test your self and see how close you come.

Left Field: catcher: First Base: Second Base: Shortstop: Third Base : Center Field: Right Field: Pitcher: Designated Hitter: Manager: General Manager: Board of Directors: Commissioner: Umpire: Announcer: Flake:

And now the answers.

Left Field: George Herman "Babe" Ruth (1914-1935)- Any all-time team begins with Babe Ruth. Perhaps the ultimate sports hero with awesome accomplish-

ments on the field as a pitcher and hitter. His home runs pointed a new direction in the game.

catcher: Josh Gibson ( 1930s1940s) Great home run-hitting catcher of the Negro Leagues, he symbolizes the lost opportunities of those shut out of the money and prestige of the major leagues by baseball's color line. Gibson died tragically young.

First Base: Stan Musial ( 1940s1960s) Musial is remembered as a seven-time batting champion and three-time most valuable player. He was very successful off the field and stands as a symbol of the non-controversial, low-key stars of the 1940s and 1950s.

Second Base: Jackie Robinson ( 1940s-1950s) Although there have been better players at this position, none did more to alter the course of baseball history than this Hall of Farner who integrated the modem game . Even the 40th anniversary of his appearance in the major leagues caused baseball to look at its racial practices.

Shortstop: John Montgomery Ward (1880s-1890s) -Though he was the second major leaguer to pitch a perfect game and though he became a Hall of Farner as a shortstop, Ward was even more noteworthy as an early baseball labor leader who organized the Brotherhood (Players) League of 1890. He is representative of the conflict between labor and man agement that has been common to most eras of baseball.

Third Base: Dottie Schroeder (1940s-1950s) -She was a member of the All-American Girl's Baseball League, found by William Wrigley. The league in 1949 drew more than 900,000 fans in small cities throughout the Midwest. Though she was a shortstop, she' s been assigned to third on this team as a symbol of women' s exclusion from the professional ranks.

Center Field: Mike " King" Kelly

Historians Drs. ]Jm Harper (left) and joseph King choose up sides and present their all-time signit1cance list for baseball.

( 1870s 1890s) Hero of the 1880s, he is remembered in the song " Slide, Kelly, Slide," making him one of the first sports personalities to become subject of a song. Next to paintings of Custer's Last Stand, reproductions of Kelly sliding into base were likely the most popular barroom paintings of the 19th century Symbolic of the adventuresome day of the early major leagues, Kelly also caught and played some third and first.

Right Field: Roberto Clemente ( 1950s-1970s ) -Gifted hitter and superb fielder , Clemente is a member of the 3 ,000 hit club and the Hall of Fame. His career signifies the growing prevalence of the Latin ballplayer after the 1960s His tragic early death in a plane crash while on a humanitarian relief mission is reflective of the private side of many players who have used their prestige to help humanity

Pitcher: Albert P. Spalding (1870s) -A star pitcher but Spalding is even more important as a founder of the National League in 1876. His post-playing career saw him .serve as a key baseball executive and sporting goods mogul, a blend of the game and big business that has continued to the present.

Designated Hitter: Sadaharu Oh (1960s-1970s) -Japanese home

run king and Japan 's greatest star of the game Baseball reached Japan in the 1890s and boomed there after 1950 Oh is representative of how far the American national game has spread in world popularity.

Manager: Harry Wright ( 1860s1870s) Member of the original Cincinnati Redstockings and dominant figure as manager of the National Association of Professional Baseball Players, the first major league run by the players.

General Manager: Branch Rickey ( 1900s-1960s) He devised the farm system in the minors, pioneered player development, integrated baseball and urged expansion of the game in the 1960s. He w as largely responsible for the succes s of the Cardinals, Dodgers and Pirates.

Board of Directors: Chris Von Der Abe, Bill Veeck, Walter O'Malley and Ted Thrner

Chris Von Der Abe ( 18801890s) A flamboyant owner of the 1880s St. Louis Browns, he saw baseball as entertainment He was responsible for one of the oddest stunts in American history when, while hosting Buffalo Bill's Wtld West Show, he put Sitting Bull on the mound to pitch.

Bill Veeck (1940s 1970s)-

Baseball' s greatest fan and innova tive promoter, he integrated the American League and urged expansion and a sharing of 1V revenues. "Old Will" was also responsible for one of the most memorable moments in baseball when he sent to the plate a midget who drew a walk because of his minuscule strike zone

Walter O ' Malley ( 1950s 1970s)

He was perhaps the most in fluential modem owner. He was the man who brought the majors to the West Coast.

Ted Thrner (1970s-present) Thrner symbolizes the new role of cable television and the new promoter-owner. His Atlanta super station' s national cable exposure of his Atlanta Braves has made the Braves into "America' s Team" in spite of a mediocre rec o rd

Commissioner: Byron Bancroft Johnson (1900s-1920s) -A former sportswriter who founded the American League, he served as its president from 1901 until 1920. He was also noteworthy for his efforts to professionalize and improve respect for umpires.

Umpire: Bill Klem ( 1900s1940s) -Established the umpire's authority to control the game by dint of his hones ty, impartiality and knowledge of the rulebook. He had the firm conviction he never made a bad call. Klem represented the importance of playing the game by intricate rules and making splitsecond decis ions.

Announcer: Gordon McLendon (1950s)- Texas born and reared announcer and businessman, McLendo n pioneered daily network baseball radio with his Uberty Network He is als o recognized as perhaps the master of game recreations from the wire.

Flake: Bob Uecker ( 1960s-present) His 200 lifetime batting average isn't major league, but his sense of humor is He represents the American sense of humor and its compatibility with the game. Though he remains a baseball announcer and commentator, he is better known for his 1V situation comedy and for getting good game seats than he ever was fo r catching the knuckle ball

Positive Thinking

1988 is shaping up to promise an excellent season

By Bob Ward

Texas Tec h volleyball coach Donna Martin is a positive thinking, optimistic person It's just her nature She always believes her spikers are going to win when they step on the court-whether it's against Top 10-ranked Texas or cellar-dwelling Baylor

So , when she smiles and says that she is really looking forward to a good 1988 season, despite the fact that she loses fo ur of six starters and faces another murderous schedule, one might attribute it to her power of positive thinking

But, she maintains that she has good reason, or reasons, to be fired up about the coming season First , she points to the fact that the two returning starters are also two of

the top players o ff last season's second place SWC finisher, and then she emphasizes that this spring' s recruiting class was the best in her four years at Tech . Those two reaso ns, she said with a grin, are her primary reaso ns for looking forward to the 1988 season

"I think the really positive thing about the upco ming season is that we had a tremendo us recruiting year," Martin said, adding, " In tenns of experienc e , we will have something to make up with the loss of four senio rs , but I really feel our returning players and the recruits we are getting in are the type leaders we want on the court. They (the recruits) are very

athletic kid s, they are very m o tivated, and I anticipate our team should be quite a bit stronger than last fall , if o ur freshmen can learn the offensive system relatively quickly. "

When the grueling three-a-day pre-s eason practices begin on August 15, Martin will also have some quality experience returning, namely in the perso ns of All-SWC first team middle blocker Susan Kelly McGuire ( she wed former Red Raider quarterback Monte McGuire last spring ) and SWC Newc omer of the Year Usa Clark. Both six fo oters hail fr o m one of the premier volleyball programs in Texas-under Coach J e annie Rog ers at Class 5A Cypress-Fairbanks

Lisa Clark gets a picture-perfect block.

High School.

'Three of Tech's recruits could come in and make an impact quickly, according to Martin. Included are Gracie Santana, a 5-11 middle blocker/outside hitter from El Paso Ysleta High School; Chris Martin, a 6-1 middle blocker from Camelback High School in Phoenix, Ariz.; and Sabrina Zenon, a 5-7 outside hitter from Episcopal High School in Bellaire. Santana was named volleyball player of the year in El Paso the past two years Martin was instrumental in her team's two consecutive state championships.

"I think it's going to be really exciting to work with them (the recruits), plus this is going to be my first year of having a total team that I have recruited and developed. For me that is very exciting," Martin said. "I would predict that Gracie and Chris are both going to be able to come in and help us right away. Also, Sabrina has that possibility-she had a really good spring season in USVBA ball in Houston. She is an outside hitter that the older ones may have to contend with."

Entering her fourth year as Red Raider head coach, Martin notes that because of a new NCAA rule that cuts one week off pre-season fall practice, combined with the number of newcomers that will be entering the Tech program, the Red Raiders may once again get off to a slow start. Last year, Tech finished with a 15-14 overall record after getting off to a 2-6 beginning.

The Raiders came on especially strong toward the end of the season to carve out a 7-3 conference mark, good for a second-place conference finish, the best finish ever in volleyball. The record is even more respectable because Tech had nine teams on its schedule that were selected to play in the postseason 32-team NCAA Champion- x ship Tournament. Those teams accounted for nine Tech losses and provided only one win for the Red Raiders.

"The cutting of the week from pre-season workouts is not a real positive thing- if anything you would like to have an extra week

for younger people. But, the nice thing is that we may be progressive and develop more toward the end of the season," Martin said, flashing her positive attitude again.

This fall's tough schedule fits right in with three team goals for the upcoming season- to get in the Top 20, to win the SWC and to be selected for the NCAA Championship Tournament. Eight teams on the 1988 schedule were selected for last year's NCAA playoffs.

Martin, who was chosen by her coaching peers last fall as the SWC Coach of the Year, sees a tough schedule as a must for a team that wants to improve its national standing.

"Anytime we have an opportunity to play anybody in the Top 20 or Top 10, we want to do that," Martin explained. "That's kind of what we've done with this schedule. We have been consciously trying to do this for the past three years-to target some Top 20 or Top 10 schools outside the conference and try to get in the national rankings again." (Tech was picked No. 20 in the fall of 1984 but remained in the rankings only one week.)

Highlighting this year's schedule

will be the first home tournament since 1984, featuring three teams that finished last season ranked in the Top 20 and were picked to play in the prestigious NCAA Championship Tournament. The Methodist Hospital-Quality Inn Red Raider Classic, set for Friday through Sunday, Sept. 23-25, in the Rec Center on campus, will showcase the talents of players from Kentucky, ranked in the Top 10 most of the year, lost to Texas in the regional finals and wound up with a 30-2 record. UT-Arlington finished with a 32-7 mark last season, and Pepperdine was 19-8.

Texas has been dominant in SWC volleyball since the sport was sanctioned as an official sport by the conference in 1982- winning all six titles while compiling a 58-2 record in SWC play. Last fall, the 25-10 Lady Longhorns advanced to the Final Four, losing in the semifinal round to Stanford in four games.

"

I would like to think the whole conference is becoming more competitive," Martin said, noting quickly, "I certainly believe they (Texas) are heatable, but it's going to take a very strong team to even tie with them in the conference, much less talk about winning the conference. I feel like I did a year ago-any team in the SWC is capable of coming in second or third. It's going to be a matter of who is most consistent throughout the course of the conference season, as it was this past year.

"I think from ,a physical skills standpoint, there is a great amount of equality between the teams right now, in particular talking about the second-place finish. I think a lot of it will boil down to which team's new players learn the quickest."

From Martin's assessment, all the ingredients are on hand to give Tech a winning season and a Top 20 ranking, if they are mixed correctly and in the right proportions. Probably the one thing that could make this even more of a probability would be for each Red Raider player to become infected with Coach Martin's positive-thinking attitude that makes winning an accepted fact not a possibility. lTl

"Pete's Boys" Reunion (1930s-1940s)

When: September 23 and 24 Where: Lubbock Plaza Hotel, 3201 South Loop 289

Dear Friend,

A r eunion of Double T Lettermen was h e ld in 1975 as part of Texas Tech's 50th Anniversary Celebration and we all had a good time. Just recently a group of " Pete's Boys" got together and suggested that we have one more " huddle" or reunion before we go to that "Great Locker Room in the Sky."

When would be a more appropriate season than 1988 for such a reunion ? It will mark the 50th Anniversary of the 1938 Cotton Bowl season The fellowship, the renewal of old acquaintances, repeating and exaggerating tales of our athletic performances-these things are incentive eno ugh for a reunion, but it's the shake of a hand, a big grin, the slap o n the back, and how many kids or grandkids do you have that really make all efforts worthwhile.

So there's going to be one more huddle on September 23 and 24

Registration will begin at 4 p.m. o n Friday at the Lubbock Plaza, followed by a buffet at 7 p.m Saturday's schedule will be announced later

You are urged to come and join your friends. As you are in contact with any squadman or freshman at Tech from the 1930s through 1940s, please urge him to attend this reunion whether he lettered or not

Additional information will be mailed late r.

Send yo ur reply to : "Pete's Boys" Reunion 4 513 18th Street Lubbock, TX 79416

We would appreciate any informa tion you may h ave on the following people so we can include them in our reunion on Sept 23 24 Please call Missy at the Ex-Students Association at (806) 742 3641 or write to her at P.O Box 4009 , Lubbock, TX 79409

Arch Lamb reflects on childhood dream

Arch Lamb ' 39 had a boyhood dream of being a blacksmith. Starting at the age of 5, he watched blacksmiths create anything a farmer, rancher or housewife could draw Blacksmiths, he explained, were the first mechanics this country ever had They shod horses, shrunk metal rims on wheels, made plows and anything else needed in metal

But they came long after the Mayflower landed with only a pole ax for a tool. All implements had to be whittled from wood, Lamb said, because Eng land wouldn 't allow sales of metal tools to colonists And his theory about for ests falling to construction, he added, did its own falling when he discovered that thousands of acres of timber were cut to create coal to get materials hot enough to make iron

His fascination with the smithy, however, began long before he could read stories about the Pilgrims

"When I could slip out to the blacksmith shop, I was the happiest kid alive ," he said. "And I was willing to pay the price."

The price, always, was what his brother called "hipton t e a" with a switch When he questioned the right to go, he was told that the men who hung around the shop across from his Grandmother Lamb's home "talk ugly, dip snuff and chew tobacco ," and his parents didn't want him to do that.

To get to the shop, he had to ask to go down to Granddaddy Lamb's store, start out and sneak in the other side of the shop to watch three generations of the Robbins family, famous over a wide area of Texas for smithing, work at

their craft

Lamb was only allowed to watch, exc ept for one task. He could pull th e lever to shrink

rims for wheels

"They would heat the metal red hot and put it in the tire shrinker that had the same curve as the wheel," he explained When he pulled the lever, two "dogs" making up ratchet systems, pushed the metal ends together.

For attaching to the wheel, the circle of metal was placed in a pit of fire on the ground so the metal would expand. Then it was placed on the wooden wheel to shrink to fit as it cooled Sometimes, Lamb said, the wooden parts would start to bum if the metal was too hot.

Smithing is a rare craft nowadays, and those who can still do it are in high demand , particularly as it relates to horseshoes and the larger horse rais ing operations. (By Gerry Burton)

The story of Wrangler Bill and Levi Bob

The title of this article may lead the reader astray, as it is not western fiction It is, in fact , a short history of two Texas Tech exes who were roommates in college, who both graduated with degrees in textile engineering and who have reached the pinnacle of their professions

William H. Hervey was born at Greenville on Nov. 7 , 1924. Ten days later on Nov 17, Robert L. Hale was born a few miles away in Commerce. little did anyone know at the time that the two baby boys would grow up to be fast friends and roommates at Tech They came to know each other as they grew up, but did not really get to know each other well until they attended East Texas State Teachers College in Commerce in 1941 -42.

Bill left East Texas State for Texas A&M for tbe 1942 43 school year, while Bob remained there and became president of his sophomore class. Bill transferred from Texas A&M to the University of Texas, and Bob attended Louisiana State University in 1943.

World War II caught up with them and they both went into the Army as buck privates They " invaded" France with Bill walking across the country to Germany with the 42nd Infantry "Rainbow" Division Bob got to ride across on a logging truck as a member of the 1063rd Forestry Battalion that cut timber for bridges for the Corps of Engineers

After the war, they both c.ame to Texas Tech to complete their degrees in textile engineering. There was a housing problem for returning G.l.s at Tech in 1946 and both lived off campus. Bob placed his name on a waiting list and was able to get a room in West Hall after a wait of some time. His roommate later quit school and Bob called Bill to see if he wanted to room with him. They then became roommates in West Hall 319.

The roommates were broken up in December 1947 when Bill and a Tech coed, Vera Maas of Vernon, were married Bill then became the resident counselor in Doak Hall and Bob moved to Doak as a wing counselor. Bob grad uated with high honors (in the top three of 750 graduates) and received a B.S. degree in 1948. He was selected as the outstanding textile student for that

"Wrangler Bill" Hervey (left) and "Levi Bob" Hale. year.

Bill's wife, Vera, better known as "Hoppy," also graduated in 1948 with a B.A. degree in journalism . Bill received his B S. degree in textile engineering in 1949. By his own admission Bill was not a brain like Bob and was just happy to get his d egree.

When Bob graduated from Tech, he went to work for Springs Industries in a management training program After three years he moved from that firm to J.P. Stevens and Co in 1951. While at J.P Stevens, Bob came into their blue denim manufacturing operation and ultimately became the manager of the division After 24 years with Stevens, he was hired by the American Cotton Growers to oversee the building, staffing and operation of their littlefield denim plant.

Bob continues to hold that position today. The p lant employs 516 people , which is down 40 percent from the beginning of the operations It produces 40 percent more denim , however, than it did in the beginning. Today, the plant turns out 4 5 million yards of denim annually from 90,000 bales of South Plains cotton. It has annual sales of S85 million and 98.5 percent of this comes from Levi Strauss and Co. of San Francisco, the largest and oldest denim jean manufacturers in the U.S. Needless

to say, perhaps, Bob is a staunch supporter and wearer of Levis

After Bill graduated from Tech, he went to work for Dun and Bradstreet and worked at Shreveport, Texarkana and Dallas from 1949-56. In 1956-57, he was employed by the Julian Noa Curtain Co. in Dallas. He s tarted to work for Blue Bell Inc of Greensboro, N.C in 1957 as a Wrangler jeans salesman Bill b ecame the regional sales manager from 1963 71 , vice president of sales from 1971-81 and president of Wrangler Male Apparel from 1981 86. In 1986 , Blue Bell was acquired b y the V.F. Corporation and Bill has served as senior vice president-marketing, for the Wrangler Brand since that time

Wrangler is the larger commercial supporter of the cowboy and cowgirl sport of rodeo in our country. In his connection with these activities, Bill has become known as Mr. Wrangler in the rodeo world.

The Western/ English Retailers of America presented its AL Award, the top such award in the nation, to Bill this year for his outstanding co ntributions in the field of western wear and equipment The Lubbock Downtown American Business Club also chose to honor Bill and invited him to be the parade marshall for its annual ABC Rodeo this year

While he was in Lubbock for that rodeo , his friend and former fellow stu dent at Tech from 1947-49, Alvin G. Davis, of the Ranching Heritage Associ ation , arranged to bring about a reunion of Bill and Bob at littlefield. Davis, a former chairman of the Western/Eng lish Retaile rs of America, and Ed Luskey of Luskeys Western Wear, another director of that national organization, accompanied Bill to littlefield

The reunion was very special in that this was only the second time in the last 40 years that Bill and Bob had seen each other. There was a great deal of reminiscing by the two o ld friends as the American Cotton Growers plant was toured There was also a friendly rivalry expressed as relates to Levis and Wranglers, and no resolution resulted.

One conclusion was reached, however-that they certainly expect to see each other more often in the future than they have in the past. (By Alvin G. Davis)

Parks director is lifelong 'river person'

Jackie Bubenik has been a "river person" all his life, so his job as director of the River Parks Authority in Thlsa is a natural for him

Bubenik grew up in Bloomington, Texas, where he frequently skipped school to raft and fish on the Guadalupe River In ninth grade, a junior high school principal told him it was time to choose between school and the river, so Bubenik chose the river and dropped out of school.

"My parents were at their wits' end, but I was bored with school," he said. Bubenik picked up odd jobs until he was old enough to join the Navy. "My parents felt a little better knowing that I had plans and could learn a vocation in the Navy. "

He trained as a corpsman and worked in a hospital pharmacy and electrocardiogram unit. It was here he decided to continue his education.

"I found the work very interesting and realized I needed an education to continue," he said. Bubenik was also encouraged by the "educated professionals" he worked with, and his wife, Sharron Miller Bubenik, whom he mar ried when he was 19.

"My wife was an honor student the whole way through the private girl's school she attended," he said "She provided me with a good role model and positive influence."

Bubenik learned field-type medicine and became an optician while serving as a fleet corpsman with the Marines.

"Many people don 't know this , but the Marines don't have their own medi cal corps," he said. Everyone in the Navy is required to spend a certain amount of time at sea, so when it was Bubenik's turn for sea duty, he said he "traded uniforms and went to a Marine unit instead."

While Bubenik attended optical school in Bethesda, Md., where he was stationed, he gave more thought to leaving the Navy and going to college. "My commanding officer convinced me it was time to get out."

Bubenik had a wife and two child-

ren, so, as he put it, "I decided to take advantage of the GI bill and go to college."

While stationed in Florida, Bubenik worked at the Naval Air Station and began attending night school at Pensacola Junior College

" I was scared totally out of my mind," he remembers Bubenik wanted to major in business to tie in with being an optician, and his family wanted to return to Texas But they weren 't sure where Bubenik's choice of colleges was narrowed down to Texas Tech and Texas A&M.

Meanwhile, Bubenik was looking at college catalogs and came across Tech's description of park administra tion. "I decided that was something I wanted to do ," he said, "and business went out the window. "

Bubenik received a bachelor's degree in park administration in 1971 and decided to go on for a master's degree while he still had time left on the GI bill.

"I was encouraged by Dr Bill Kitchen and Elo Urbanovsky, both professors of park administration. They played a b ig role in my life, " Bubenik said.

He took a position in Lubbock as a planner at the South Plains Association

of Governments. Nine months later, he became director of planning for the agency.

In the meantime, Sharron had begun her coursework toward a bachelor's degree at Tech Her husband said he finished his degree work in December, and she started hers in January

" She put me through school then s tarted herself, " he said "I'm extremely proud of her. She finished her bachelor's degree at the University of Thlsa then went on for a law degree She's now a State District Judge in Thlsa in charge of the domestic relations division "

In April 1974, Bubenik's former professor, Dr Kitchen, learned of a new agency being created in Thlsa and enco uraged him to apply.

Bubenik was hired as executive director, a job which includes all aspects of river development as it relates to parks and recreation in Thlsa He feels the best part of his job is "working with natural resources and doing something I feel will have a longlasting effect on the community."

Now a registered landscape archi tec t , Bubenik works primarily to maintain and develop the river. He spends about one-third of his time on the river and in parks, while the remainder of his time goes to paper work and administration.

He also spends a lot of time working on fund raising Maintenance and operating c osts are funded jointly by Thlsa County and the city of Thlsa, but most money for development must come from private contributions.

Bubenik said he enjoys his work because he doesn't feel tied down. He cites his biggest challenge as "working with a natural resource you can't control. You can't take anything for granted "

Looking back, Bubenik said he wouldn' t change anything he did , including dropping out of school "Nothing but good has come of it," he said "I enjoyed everything I did " (By Allyson Brase)

EDITOR'S NOTEBOOK

'Cheaper' -won't -win Tier One

By Marsh a Gustafson, Editor

A t a time when quality is synonymous with tier one status, and therefore of paramount importance, a problem situation exists at this university. It involves a trend that has been charted over a 12-month period from February 1987 through February 1988. .

The following statistics were reported to the Faculty Senate on April 28, 1988: Of 149 transa c tions involving faculty leaving and being appointed, the numbers are as even as they possibly could be -75 vacancies occurring, 74 appointed. However, the rank at which our faculty are being hire d is considerably lower than that of those me mbe rs resigning or being terminated . A breakdown follows:

Lost : 7 non tenure track 20 full professors 15 associate professors 33 assistant professors

Added: 36 non-tenure track 4 full professors 4 associate pr9fessors 30 assistant professors

A summary further shows that, by school/college, the number of high e r ranking faculty hired is far below the 1.: number of non-tenure track people .

Resignations/ Terminations: 4 0 non -te nure track and assistant professors; 35 upper level.

Appointed: 66 non tenure track and assistant professors; 8 upper level.

The bottom line is this: Hiring l ower ranking and visiting faculty, which are cheaper, does not equate based on experience in higher education, with quality '
