W'me Industry Texas-wide

The feature in th e July-August issue of The Texas Techsan (page 13 ) was one of the mos t co mprehe n sive articles d1at I have read r egarding Texas Tech's contributions to th e Texas wine industry Tech graduates should take pride in the fact that their alma mater has played such an integral role in the success of this exciting new industry.

Although the article focused on the West Texas wine industry, I would like to note that we are dedicated to research , education and service for the entire Texas wine industry This includes over 20 wine ries in locations from College Station to the Hill Country to the Permian Bas in, Pecos Valley and the South Plains as well as the many wine grape growers throughout dle state. Additionally, o ur research , education and services assist restaura teurs, retailers and dist ributors with wine sales tec hniques and market studies.

One important individual who has made outstanding contributions to our research efforts was no t me ntioned in the article. U.S. Representative Charlie Ste nholm, r ece ntly honored as a Distin guished Alumnus of Texas Tech, has provided much ne eded support for the University's wine researc h efforts. Congressman Stenholm helped TTU's Texas Wine Marketing Research Institute secure a $50,000 funding package from dle USDA to exhibi t Texas wines at Yin Italy, one of the largest and most pres tigious wine trade shows in the world. Ste nholm 's leadership and dedi ca tion to Texas Tech h as e nabled us to move one step closer to becoming a major research university

Thank you for the article I believe that dlis type of informative look at the specific work going o n at Tech truly gives our alumni an added se nse of pride in ilieir University.

An Outstanding Woman

Thank you so much for including me in the article, "Tech's Outstanding Women." First, I want to co mpliment you on including such an article in The Texas Techsan. It should be a boost to

the morale of faculty women at Texas Tec h, and I took pride in the achievements of each colleague described . Margaret Houghto n did a fine job , and I am grateful for the time and attention which she gave to this assignment

Additionally, Darrel Thomas' photography is quite good We appreciate the time and assistance he has given to the College of Home Eco nomics' ac tivities. In fact, you and yo ur staff have been just wonderful. Marketing home economics is a very important goal of all our fa c ulty

Thank you agai n for your continuing support

Tech Fans

I want to show you an example of the Texas Tech fan s from across the country

For the past two years, I was a resi dence hall dire ctor a t Ari zona State University. If nobody there knew any thing about Tech before I got there, they surely never h eard the e nd of it the two years I was there I continually raved about Tech until I mad e fans of everyone as you ca n see from the pic ture.

This photo is the last one tak e n of my staff at ASU All of my resident assistants, my secretary and I (I'm on the back row in th e middle) traded Sparky and the Sun Devi ls to become Texas Tech Red Raid e rs They "have their guns up" and even know th e words to the fight so ng

This is proof that Texas Tech is well known throughout college campu ses in the United States I hope you e njoy the picture

Way To Go, Jim!

I want to publicly express my appreciation to Jim Kimmel, who served as chairman of the 50th Anniversary Reunion of the 19 38 class earlier this year.

He was highly ent husiasti c and coop erative with all me eve nts h eld during the two-day c elebration Jim was especially he lpful in obtaining vans for the campus tours , which o therwise would not have b ee n possible

I was glad to have the opportunity to get to kn ow Jim better. He was abso lutely delightful and played a strategic role in the success of one of our tradi tional events at Texas Tec h

A Word on the Presidents

I think James G Allen has done an outstanding job o n the p ast presid e nt biographies that appear in The Texas Techsan. I am particularly impressed wit h his insights and his objectivity.

Dean Allen was in a unique position to write these biographies He h as made a great contribution to th e his tory of Texas Tech Univers ity

As an und e rgraduat e stud e nt, I felt Dr. Kn app was somewhat aloof and too "pro aggies" to be co nsidered a fri e nd of Arts & Sciences Perhaps my bias for A& S is showing! I never doubted his sincerity.

The 'tnost -wonderful surprise'

One of Tech's first graduates is still one of its strongest supporters. Anna Belle Collins Collier graduated from Tech in 1929 and has never stopped telling people what a great school it is.

At the annual banquet in Dallas this summer, Anna Belle was honored by some of her friends . An Endowed Scholarship was given in her honor so that a perpetuating fund will exist to assist worthy students. The fund was established so it can be continually added to by any of her friends or by Tech supporters who choose to honor her.

A plaque with Anna Belle's picture on it was engraved and presented to her at the August 1988 meeting of the Board of Directors of the Ex-Students Association . Anna Belle gave a very moving speech to the directors in the way of thanks. It has been reproduced here for your enjoyment and inspiration.

"This is the greatest and most wonderful surprise of my life For more than 50 years, I have had a dreama dream of finding a way to help deserving students go to Texas Tech.

I knew I could never do anything big, but often just a little help is all a student needs. A growing family with many problems and many priorities has put my dream on hold and time is running out.

This endowed scholarship in my name at my beloved Texas Tech fulfills this dream I am sincerely grateful to my friend Ilah Merriman who sponsored this scholarship. I hope it will grow and grow and grow and help many deserving students. Thank you, Ilah, from the bottom of my heart

I know what a scholarship can mean to a student In the early days of Texas Tech, Mr. John Carpenter of Dallas gave two $250 scholarships each year to the Best All College Citizen among the boys and the Best All College Citizen among the girls. In 1927, I was lucky enough to be the recipient of this scholarship.

Not only did it help me financially through my jun ior year, but it made me want to be a better student, a better citizen and a better person. It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship with Mr and Mrs Carpenter which lasted until their deaths.

On the way home from the Ex-Students banquet in June, at which time this presentation was made, Ilah asked me if I had any preferences regarding this scholarship

Would I like it for girls only? I could not do that. I like boys, also. Would I like it exclusively for the College of Home Economics? I hope my good friend Dean Haley will understand and not be unhappy with me for not requesting it exclusively for H.E. students Certainly, I hope many, many of them are the recipients.

I was reminded of a time, about 20 years ago, when the Dallas chapter gave two $250 scholarships each year. One year I was asked to serve on the committee to choose the recipients. This is a job I truly love.

The applications with three recommendations, one from a teacher, and a record of the students' grades were mailed to us about 10 days prior to the personal interview. In this way, we were able to learn a little about the student and jot down questions we wished to ask.

?ne evening I sat down to read and study the appli cations. I was greatly impressed with the quality of these students-the very best from almost every high school in our area.

I opened a very thin envelope. On one sheet handwritten but neat , Janet had applied for schol arship and in clos ing said, " If I am lucky enough to this scholarship, I will work very hard to make you proud of me " No outside activities were listed. I looked at her grades, mostly Bs with a scattering of As and a few Cs Not a good prospec t.

I unfolded the firs t recommendation- from a teacher In the opening paragraph she stated, "Janet is capable of making much bette r grades , but she has so many home responsibilities and it is necessary for her to work part time She does not have enough time to study." She went on to say in spite of her responsibilities, she was a lovely, happy, cheerful, deserving girl.

The second recommendation was also from a teacher who knew Janet's parents and often visited in the home. Her opening paragraph was the same. Janet was capable of making much higher grades but the responsibility of two blind parents and working every day fro m the time school was out until 10 o ' clock each night and all day Saturday and Sunday left little time to study. She went on t o say what a happy, cheerful home these two blind people provided for Janet . All they had to give their only child was love and a happy home. This they did abundantly.

Why had she not told us her parents were blind? Was she ashamed of them? Was she afraid we would feel sorry for her?

The third recommendation was from the manager of a 7 11 store where Janet worked He was lavish in his praise of her work, her dependability, her chee rfulness, the thoughtfulness toward her customers and how they loved her.

I could hardly wait to mee t this girl. On the evening of personal interviews, she was the first to arrive . When I opened the door, I knew it was Janet. A big smile on her face , with a chuckle in her voice , she introduced herself and the man with her-her boss, who had taken time off for the interview and would stay to take her back to work.

Back in the den, she sat on the edge of her chair, looking and admiring everything she saw. Then she said, " I have studied catalogues from almost every school in Texas and I have told my moth e r and daddy, if I had my choice of colleges, I would like to go to Texas Tech, and she rattled off more reasons than even I could think of She mentioned her parents many times but never once as being handicapped.

Later, when we were reviewing our night's work and we came to Janet' s application, one boy said, "Janet is not ashamed of her parents. She does not s ee them as handicapped They are her mother and her daddy and she loves them and they love her, and that is all there was to it."

What a year at Texas Tech would mean to this girl. I voted for her right down to the last stretch, but I was outvoted

like you , I wanted the most brilliant, the finest , the most worthwhile students to join those already attending Texas Tech, and I hope this scholarship will help many of them fulfill their dreams But sometime along

the way, I hope consideration will be given a deserv ing girl or boy who wants a college education, who needs a college education and who will work for a college education if given just a little help.

The Washington, D.C., chapter of

Tech exes hosted a reception for Dr. and Mrs Lauro Cavazos following his being sworn in as Sec retary of Education in September The the reception was held in the Longworth Building on Capitol Hill and was coordinated by Chino Chapa '82, who is working in Congressman Charles Stenholm's office. Stenholm, by the way, is the only Red Raider serving in Congress at this time.

New dean wants return of concern and ethics

The essence of a university is its students, a motivating tenet for Dr Judith Henry, the newly appointed assistant vice president for student affairs and dean of students at Texas Tech.

"The bottom line is if it weren't for students, we wouldn 't be here," said Henry, who as of July 1 assumed the position formerly occupied by Larry Ludewig, who resigned during the spring semester.

Since 1985 , Henry has served as associate dean of students, and previously had other assistant positions in the Texas Tec h Dean of Students Office .

Her familiarity with the University is extensive as she earned three degrees from Texas Tech. Henry came to Lub bock in 1971 as an undergraduate student She holds bachelor's and master's degrees in physical education, earned in 1975 and 1978, respectively From 1975-78, she was a teacher and coach with the Lubbock Independent School District. By 1985 , when she earned her doctorate of education degree in higher education administration, she had five years of experience in the Dean of Students Office.

Now in a position of influence, Henry says she would like to see a return to the spirit of volunteerism and a concern with values and ethics held to by past University students.

"During my time at Tech, I've observed a change in students' atti tudes ," she said "Students in the early '70s said their main goal was to develop a healthy philosophy of life. Now students say their main goal is to make money, which in some ways is a response to the job market

"I would like to see more volunteer ism because the student gains, Texas Tech gains and the community gains And, I think we should promote more concern with values and ethics. At least when students begin talking about issues of values and ethics, they hear other ways of thinking and become open to new ideas," she said.

The Dean of Students Office handles student disciplinary cases, but the majority of the work is directed toward offering services and programs for students. Overall, the office serves as a clearinghouse and referral service for students.

"The changes and growth that stu dents go through during their college years is phenomenal," Henry said "The focus here is to provide information to

students, to help them take responsibility for their decisions and to help them realize the consequences of their deci sions."

Leadership workshops and support groups for various pockets of students-such as minority students, dis abled students and women-are a few of the office's mos t effect ive projects The office also serves an educational func tion by offeri ng information and r eferrals about current issues, such as campus safety, AIDS and substance abuse

Henry, who was selected from a pool of 60 applicants, is now one of only a small numbe r of females at the admin istrative level in higher education As such, she has become a role model for students, especially women.

"This is an opportunity to give a lot back to Texas Tech," she said. "I neve r would have thought I'd be where I am now on the day I enrolled as a student o r when I came to work here in the Dean of Students Office. I see myself as a ro le model, and modeling is impor tant to all persons."

Active in state and regional professional associations, Henry in 1986 re ceived the Top Techsan Staff Award and the Outstanding Achieveme nt Award from Texas Tech University She was named among the Outstanding Young Women of America in 1976 and was a 1986 nominee fo r the Texas Women's Hall of Fame

"I'm proud of my roots at Tech," Henry said. "I feel like a running back thanking my linemen There have been many people who have given not only their time but themselves as role models, both male and female, since I came to Tech as a student and since I began working in this office."

TEXAS TECH IN . RETROSPECT

The Toreador

By Cindy Martin

When the doors of Texas Technological College opened in September 1925, plans were already underway for a student newspaper. In fact, Harry Montgomery and John R Forkner had applied for permission to begin the paper before registration even started.

The editors had only three days

to put together the first issu e, which rolled off the presses on Oct. 3, 1925, under the name "The Toreador. " In bull fighting, the toreador is an assistant to the matador and the first editors assured students that "We expect to be one of the strongest supporters of the Tech Matadors" (the football

team's name at that time ). The first issue included stories on the o utc ome of the first football game, the record enrollment of the new college, the birth of Alva Ruth Stangel, the first child born at Tech , and the serious problem of the imbalance in the student popu· lation.

·send 'em home happy," was the philosophy of the late and legendary Paul 'Bear' Bryant of Alabama football fame when talking about alumni who returned to their alma mater for Homecoming. Texas Tech alumni and friends Sept. 25 were treated to a 36-6 win over Baylor, perfect weather and a day full of activities.

With Homecoming scheduled early in the academic year to help guarantee good weather, and with the game held at 7 p.m., the full day was available for breakfasts and buffets, the alumni baseball game, various open houses and receptions, distinguished alumni recognitions, class reunions, and of course, the parade and road race.

A perfect smile and their guns up!

-Dr. Wick Alexander

By Jennifer Maret

There is a new group of Texas Tech "cheerleaders," but most of them cannot even speak English-and none of them have ever been to Lubbock. They live in Japan and gained their newfound excitement about Texas Tech from their " head cheerleader" Dr. R.G. "Wick" Alexande r

Alexander ' 58, is an internationally acclaimed orthodontist living in Arlington. He created and designed a new type of braces, commonly called " invisible braces," that apply from behind the teeth where they are not so visually prominent. Because of his promi nence in the field of orthodontics , Alexander is called to lecture across the United States, Europe and Asia.

This summer, in fact , Alexander was asked to lecture to orthodon tists in Japan. It triggere d an idea in him that was enthusiastically received by his Japanese audience.

" It was April or May w h en I first heard that Texas Tech would b e playing in the Coca-Cola Bowl in Tokyo this December," Alexander said. "Since I was going to be lec turing over there in July, I decid e d that it might be fun to educate the people about American football and Texas Tech "

According to Alexander, who is a former Red Raider football playe r himself, as we ll as a Distinguished Alumnus of the University, he contacted the Tech Athletics Depart

ment and borrowed a videotape of the 1987 season' s football highlights. He then went out and bought a dozen or so Texas Tech T shirts and caps.

"That July in Japan, I showed the tape during the lecture breaksthey loved it!" he said. "I wrote a big Double T o n the chalkboard along with the words 'GO TECH. "'

Although Alexander was teaching his class with the help of a translator, he decided to teach th e m how to cheer for Tech him self. He made the class repeat "GO TECH," "GO, FIGHT, WIN" and " GET YOUR GUNS UP"- after

him until they knew it all by heart

After returning to the U.S., Alex ander rece ived numerous letters from his Japanese study group requesting information on and tickets to the Coca-Cola Bowl. Tickets to th e game against O klahoma State on Dec. 4, cost close to $ 100 in American c urrency.

"These people are so fired up about Tech football tha t the cost of the tickets was of no r e al concern to them ," Alexander said . "If there are not 50 to 100 Japanese orthodontists s itting in the Texas Tech cheering section at that game, I will be surprised." lt

"W7Jenever I noticed that they were getting sleepy or fidgety, I just yelled, your guns up!' and the whole class would come to life, repeating what I said and waving their 'guns' in the air."

Dr. Wick Alexander (bottom row, center) turned the Japanese orthodontists to whom be was lecturing into avid Red Raider fans, p;utlcularly when the choice was O.klaboma State or Tech in the Coca-Cola Bowl.

Dr. Ted Hartman

attributes what he is to 'Love'

-Dr. Ted Hartman

Had it not been for a fam ily doctor in DeRidder, I.a., West Texas might never have known Dr. }. Ted Hartman

"A major reason I'm in medicine is because as a kid I admired our family doctor-Or. RL Love-and my parents had such high respect for him," Hartman said

That admiration for Dr Love started Hartman on a medical career that would culminate as the dean of the School of Medicine at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center.

The story is one of life's personal vignettes that is wrapped up so neatly. A family physician influences a young patient' s career choice That patient grows up to direct a medical school which emphasizes the training and placement in West Texas of primary care physicians such as family doctors

Now, after just over seven years as dean, Hartman has resigned from the position effective Oct. 31 to oversee the school's emerging MEDNET program, which will demonstrate ways various com-

LJlce the pioneer cattlemen shown in the Kenneth wyatt painting on his office wall, former medical dean Dr. J. Ted Hanman helped bring a lot of change to West Texas.

munication technologies can help rural West Texas physicians deliver quality health care.

Hartman and the School of Medicine have come a long way since 1971 when he became the first chairman of the orthopaedics department and only the fourth faculty member hired by the new school. Even before his hiring, Hartman had observed the school's genesis as a consultant to Texas Tech on organizing the new medical school.

"I was fascinated with the idea that the school would be on the campus of a major university so there could be this intellectual cross-fertilization," Hartman said " The idea of starting a new school and establishing an entirely new orthopaedics department and residency program intrigued me, too ."

Hartman found those factors, plus the appeal of West Texas as a good place to raise two sons and a daughter, drawing him to Lubbock from Chicago where he was a faculty member at the prestigious Northwestern University Medical School and chairman of the orthopaedic surgery department at Cook

1981 to then TTUHSC President Lauro F. Cavazos who named him interim dean and the next year recommended him as the permanent dean because he had just what the developing school needed " Dr. Hartman," said Cavazos, "is a team worker and has shown outstanding skill in working with others and harmoniously and effectively directing their efforts. He assesses problems quickly and is forthright in arriving at decisions and courses of action."

campus in the northwest part of the city, is really poised to be a major factor in health care delivery and research in the coming years.

" El Paso is unique , from a medical sense, because in a border setting like that you come in contact with every type of disease that is known to man. From a teaching standpoint , it's absolutely fascinating," he said. "The patients are good patients, proud patients, in a truly international city where two cultures have learned to live with

When Hartman is excited about a project, his eyes widen and his voice rises. And during his tenure as dean-an era when the school has grown out of adolescence into early maturity-Hartman has had much to get excited about.

For instance, in 1982 the school reached its full complement in stu-

Hartman is a soft-spoken man with a gentle, reassuring handshake from years of comforting and curing thousands of patients. When he relaxes, he turns from one form of life to another, giving up his patients for gardening The plants adorning the shelves in his office came from his garden.

On his walls hang three western paintings by Kenneth Wyatt. Hart man pointed to "The Devil's Pulpit," showing cowhands driving cattle into the east end of Palo Duro Canyon during the first snowfall of winter. "The thing that fascinates me about the paintings is that they are so realistic and yet they are so peaceful It all makes such good sense."

Hartman made good sense in

dent enrollment, accepting 100 students per class each year. A clinic was built for the Amarillo Regional Academic Health Center and another is near completion for the El Paso center. And, the Regional Academic Health Center in Odessa was established while he was dean

With regional centers scattered from Amarillo to Lubbock to Odessa to El Paso, administering such a widespread school has been both a challenge and a pleasure because of the center's varied personalities, he said.

" In Amarillo, the entrepreneurial spirit is strong-strong in the best sense-and I'm sure that's a major reason they get so many things done," Hartman said "Amarillo, because it has a unique medical

each other in a very attractive fashion

"We really see a great future in Odessa because the regional center is helping Odessa develop more than just a petroleum economy. Odessa is strategically placed to service communities to the south toward the Rio Grande Valley and to the west toward El Paso," Hartman said. "The spirit of the people and the good community support have really made us succeed there."

In Lubbock, the School of Medicine has helped the city a regional medical center As a result, medicine has joined agriculture and education as Lubbock's major economic sectors.

"The thing that has been most exciting is seeing the quality of health care throughout this area improve ," Hartman said. "The school did not do all that by itself, but the school served as a focus around which those improvements could occur Many practitioners come to a community, even if they are not associated with the school, because the school is there and it provides a professional stimulus."

Of the many accomplishments during his tenure, Hartman thinks the most significant may have been maintaining the school's academic program in the years since the collapse of world oil prices and

Twice his tank was blown out from under him, and both times his crew escaped without a fatality. Once they were trapped behind German lines and had to carry a badly burned crewman out of an area crawling with enemy soldiers.

renewing its accreditation The School of Medicine received full accreditation in 1988 for a sevenyear term, the maximum accreditation period approved by the liai son Committee on Medical Education. Though the school has been accredited since it opened its doors in 1972, this year marked the first time it had received the maximum accreditation period That accreditation, which came after several years of reduced budgets, reflects the school's growing maturity

Personally, one of Hartman's proudest moments came with the start of construction on the El Paso clinic , which was scheduled for completion in November.

"The Texas Tech Board of Regents deserves a lot of credit for moving ahead with that clinic, " Hartman said. "More than anything else, because funds have been tight, it was the board's sense of social conscience that really pushed the issue forward."

Another moment of personal reflection struck Hartman when the School of Medicine celebrated its 1Oth anniversary. "From all over Texas we invited people who had been particularly helpful in getting this school going," he said. "More

than 400 showed up , many of them from hundreds of miles away It was then I realized the school was not just the faculty's and students' but theirs, the people of Texas."

While serving as dean has had its satisfactions, it has also had its trials, such as dealing with lean budgets over the last four years, trying to deal with skyrocketing medic al liability costs, seeking additional funding support for resi dent salaries, and administering a medical school in an era of increased federal control over both education and medicine Running a medical school, Hartman said, can only be done today through a team of capable and dedicated staff.

Hartman had an early lesson in teamwork when he was a tank commander with Patton's Third Army as it advanced across Europe in the final two years of World War II. Twice his tank was blown out from under him, and both times his crew escaped without a fatality. Once they were trapped behind German lines and had to carry a badly burned crewman out of an area crawling with enemy soldiers. The war experience changed him .

"It gave me a certain sense of religious commitment in my own life," Hartman said " I don't go

around talking about it, but I did believe having come through the war safely that there was something more I was still supposed to do. "

After the war, he took a bachelor's degree from Iowa State University, then earned his medical degree from Northwestern University. Almost from the beginning, he knew h e wanted to specialize in orthopaedics.

"I enj oyed anatomy my first year and on Saturday mornings when w e visited patients, I could see with orthopaedics patients we were talking about an injury that had a very direct application to anatomy," Hartman said " That appealed to me because I'm not very good at nebulous things that yo u can' t put into a little package. I never changed my mind after that and my fascination with orthopaedics continues t o grow."

Hartman and three bio -medical e ngineers in Chicago teamed together in 1971 to develop the first changing-axis knee brace. The brace provided greater support by more closely mimicking the mo tion of the knee than any of its pre decessors. The principle behind the brace is still used today in designing braces for the knee While at TTUHSC, he has helped . develop a sequential compression device which reduces the risk of blood d o tting after hip and knee surgery.

Until he became dean, Hartman had seen literally thousands of patients with orthopaedics prob lems, but time constraints in recent years made that impractical. That will change as he now plans to begin working with TTUHSC resident physicians and their patients

"One of the most fascinating things is to take care of children with orthopaedic problems and then see them grow up as those problems have been resolved," Hartman said. "There' s a lot of satisfaction just from realizing that you have been a factor in helping someone."

From somewhere, Dr Love must surely be smiling at the words of Dr. Hartman, his former patient.

#7 Robert Cabiness Goodwin 1959-1966

By James G. Allen

Rbert C. Goodwin, Texas Tech's seventh president, is the only one to have come up through our administrative ranks. He was the first of two native Texans who have become presidents of Texas Tech

Joining our staff in 1930 as professor of chemistry and head of the depart ment, seven years later he became dean of the graduate school, then in its infancy In 1945 , he accepted the deanship of the division of arts and sciences, at that time by far the largest of the four undergraduate divisions This was another administrative promotion for Bob.

So it was not unusual or surprising that upon the resignation of President E.N. Jones in 1959, he should have become the acting president, or as much as anythil}g else by default, presi dent in 1960. Both, in fact, were accepted by administration, faculty, and students as the normal course of events. No one was really surprised at this final advancement for so able an administrator as Bob Goodwin. Many were pleased that one of our boys had finally made it

He himself took it in stride , with the amused smile that always accompanied his awareness of the slightly unex pected. He may have concluded that the board of directors, looking back over their record of not being able to select a president who would or could stay with us over six years, had decided to try one who had proved himself durable. Maybe they hoped he wou ld las t as president too

To me each of President Goodwin's raises in rank was just another reminder of the way in which our best teachers had been rewarded at Texas Tech. We had taken them out of the classroom where they had excelled and, step by step, we had moved them farther and farther away from teaching We had made them deans or vice presidents or whatever paid a better salary for them to do what they did not always do as well as what had earned them their promotions and, because of the rarity of excellent teaching, to do what was relatively less important For

there can be nothing more important on a college or university campus than teaching. If the instruction is good, we can survive mediocre administration. As desirable as effective administration is, it is meaningless unless the ultimate result is good learning And for that, good teaching is essential It is sacrific ing the end for the means to reward excellent teachers by making them administrators. Fortunately, later we would devise a better way to reward excellent performance in the classroom.

And Dr. Goodwin was one of our best teachers, ever. Time after time I have heard the story from students, with only the slightest variation in the details The toughest course on campus? Professor Goodwin's organic chemistry. "I was glad to get a C plus," any number of honor students told me, "but I'll admit that he is the best teacher I ever had I learned more get ting that C p lus than 1.. ." So it went, over and over again As good a dean or president as he was, he could not, in my opinion, have contributed as much as he would have had he continued in the classroom. And I doubt that he enjoyed any of his other assignments as much as he had his teaching.

I felt a special kinship with Bob. It

wasn 't just that we were both Texans or that we both had had three years in Harvard graduate school. Maybe it was that in addition as undergraduates we both had majored in English. We shared that early college background

He slipped into his presidency quietly, almost unobtrusively He showed as little awareness that there was any change or difference with his new title as he had with any of his earlier promotions In fact , with his acting presidency, which to fellow members of the administration had seemed so logical, so right, behind him, his assumption of the presidency was even less of an event. In fact, it had the slightest dull touch of inevitability. It seemed natural, expected Since from all appearances it made so little difference to him, why should we have been impressed.

For Bob Goodwin was as un stuffedshirt a president as Texas Tech has had No person to underestimate the size of the assignment, he took great pleasure in recognizing with you the significance of the many problems which crowded his day He was eminently practical Nothing that bore on the good of Texas Tech was too small to merit his attention. He was quick to see, and so to alert you to , the impor tance of what might seem inconsequential His score on perceiving the not too apparent potential was remarkably high.

It was typical, too, that he accepted the presidency on the condition that he would not have to give up his not at all impressive home in the community of Lubbock to move into the so-called president's residence on campus. Just as he saw to it that none of his staff or faculty relationships should change, he wanted to continue the same level of living and the same off-campus contacts that he had enjoyed for 29 years.

The basic premise of his administrative philosophy was that the sum total of what Texas Tech was and did would be in exact proportion to how well each administrator, faculty member and staff member performed, every one essential to the final result, the signi.fi-

cance of the contribution of one differ ing in only the slightest degree from that of any of the others He had observed too long and too well on his way up to be deluded by the external trappings of the presidency. It was just another one in the many slots in the administrative pattern in which good performance was essential

Bob 's home and family life were keys to his personality and character. Modest in both proportions and furnishings, his home was pleasing In good taste, / orderly, every evidence of care and attention showed, both in the house and the yard.

The yard was his masterpiece It put the rest of us so called gardeners to

Tech. He was only a reasonably effec tive public speaker, a slight lisp per ceptible as one listened to his presen tation of what was always both in texture and substance a well conceived statement, carefully prepared Without histrionics, he commanded attention as a public speaker, just as he had in the classroom, because he had something worth hearing to say and presented it well. Both faculty and students felt easy when he addressed them

But the general public, used as it had become t o the toastmaster tactics of the usual public speaker, might at times have found its attention wander ing. I think Bob knew he undershot at the podium, which emphasized the

especially if they were potentially difficult or unpleasant He deftly fielded the problems that were brought to his atte ntion by well-meaning and dedicated friends of Texas Tech who dele-

shame The grass, always neatly cut and trimmed , was of a verdant green The flowers and vegetable beds were immaculate His dahlias always bloomed early, their staking showing careful attention And the rows of beans and the like were tilled with infi nite care. His plants bloomed and bore with the same maximum response that the students in his classes learned. I could hardly bring myself to look at my yard when we came home from th e Goodwins.

Much of the time Bob's father and mother lived with the Goodwins, his father carrying on a sort of informal banking service in the Goodwin home, lending to selected members of the Lubbock community Bob was obviously his mother's son, she a gra cious lady of the old school, her bearing and attire proper to the manor into which clearly she had been born The smoothness of the Goodwin household, which by modern standards might have seemed a bit modest and crowded, was a tribute to both Bob and Constance , and t o his parents.

Bob lacked some of the more obvious qualities that we had learned to expect in the presidents of Texas

shortness of his stature and which more and more he approached with a slight limp His was not an imposing public presence .

He obviously believed essential to good administration was the recogni tion of the facts whateve r they were and the willingness to deal with them directly, honestly and intellige ntly,

gated to themselves the responsibility for seeing that the college' s business was properly tended to. And when one of those persons was a close friend , such as Past President Clifford B. Jones, the procedure was likely to take on special dimensions.

Bob Goodwin handled the problems his predecessor had n ot been able to r esolve with the board of directors with the delicacy of a surgeon. In the process he accepted the responsibility for not losing support for the college. Instead, he strengthened the allegiance that less agile hands than his might h ave weakened.

Of the unresolved business he had inherited, the greatest in its destructive

potential was the racial integration issue, of long standing and closely identified with the immediate past presi dent and his conflict with the board of directors, a question which though somewhat less sensitive with the passage of time was still a sore spot. Well aware of the opposition of the earlier board of directors to this change but equally conscious of the inescapability of the long-delayed acceptance of inte gration (it had been federally mandated in 1954), he recognized the imminent admission of Negro athletes by Southwest Conference schools as setting the deadline for our capitulation His mediation with his long-time and increasingly conservative friend Clifford Jones in the face of the threat of an NCAA suit became a forced option.

deferment, it happened without noise or turbulence. Its handling bespoke President Goodwin's basic administrative policy: when the undesirable or unpopular is unavoidable, keep it from assuming undue proportions. In less formal parlance, cut it down to size.

Just as nothing so much resembles a hill as a valley, his knack of pointing up a valuable potential was remarkable, too. He demonstrated this talent when in 1960 at my invitation he addressed the leadership of the Texas Tech Dads Association

He spoke warmly on the necessity of inducing the Texas Legislature to increase state support of higher education, through which none of the state' s

group to assist him in this project had a profound effect upon them It was the first official indication to the Dads Association that Texas Tech thought he could provide the college a major service With his request for its assistance, the Texas Tech Dads Association came of age I date its transition from the status of a Dads Day organization t9 that of a year around major support group for Texas Tech from the challenge Bob issued it on this occasion.

That President Goodwin's tenure would not seem to have been highlighted by identifiable major achievements may be somewhat the result of his instinctive modesty. The 56 percent

Plan ahead to reduce tax 'bite'

By Karen Wtlson Sellin Assistant Vice President for Development

Many of us have now experienced the real impact of the Tax Reform Act of 1986. We have learned, sometimes to our sorrow, that tax reform does not necessarily mean tax reduction. What made sense in theory may have translated into an actual tax increase. Some of the deductions we took for granted are now gone.

Many middle-income taxpayers have lost or are losing the two-earner deduction, the IRA deduction or a good portion of it, the deduction for state and local sales taxes, a larger portion of consumer interest deductions and deductions for reimbursed business and other miscellaneous expenses that do not exceed two percent of adjusted gross income.

Put those decreased or eliminated deductions together with the increase in tax on capital gain, and many people were shocked by their tax bill last April 15

Fortunately, good tax planning involves two relatively simple rules: defer or reduce taxable income wherever possible, and take deductions as quickly as you can and where they will do the most good.

Defer or Reduce Taxable Income

There are basically three ways of investing in assets to reduce amounts of taxable income in 1988

T-bills and short-term CDs with a maturation date less than one year after purchase generate no taxable income until thy are redeemed. They provide a safe and convenient way of deferring income for a year since any CD purchased in 1988 maturing less than one year later in 1989 will not be taxable until you file your return in 1990.

Many people have found that munici pal bonds are still a valuable investment asset. Free from federal income tax and sometimes state income tax, they provide an after-tax cash flow that

many taxpayers find attractive. The bond market is beginning to catch up with the reduction in tax rates, and the difference in rates of return between high-grade municipals and taxable bonds makes it worth investigating.

Other than taking a direct cut in pay, there are ways of deferring taxable income through some sort of incomereduction plan or agreement with your employer, including a direct contractual arrangement that calls for income to be paid down the road for services rendered now. More generally, however, you can make deferrals in one of two ways:

Ask your employer to pay your yearend bonus in January instead of December. The short time you may have to wait for the bonus is well worth a year's deferral of tax payments.

It is more important to take maximum advantage of the various retirement packages available You may be able to reduce your current taxable income through contributions to a 40 1 (k) plan, to a Keogh plan if you are self-employed, or to a 403 (b) plan if you work for an institution of higher education. You may want to check with your employee compensation director about the specific limits attached to each of these possibilities. They may be substantial, giving you an opportunity to make tax-deferred investments over a long period of time in preparation for retirement and reducing the tax bite this year.

While many people can no longer take IRA deductions, check your own circumstances to make sure you do not overlook possible IRA deductions to which you may be entitled.

Reduce or Avoid capital Gain Tax

Since capital gain is now taxed at the same rate as ordinary income, many people have found that their capital investments are producing less net profit than expected. Using appreciated stock or other property to make cur

rent charitable gifts offers a triple benefit. You have the satisfaction of helping others with your gift, and in addition to a valuable charitable deduction you avoid tax on the capital gain. In a very few cases, the tax savings may be r educed if you are subject to the alternative minimum tax. The more capital gain tax you avoid, the greater your net spendable income. Using appreciated stock or real estate in partnership with charity is one of the best tax-planning steps you can take

Timing of Deductions

Take your deductions where they will do the most good. TRA '86 changed the character of many income tax deductions. Some can no longer be used; others can be only partially used as they are being phased out. What this means is that it is important to figure out for your individual circumstances just which deductions are usable and how much of them you can take.

Analyzing deductions can be complicated, however It will help if you follow these simple rules:

Watch your floors. For several years now, taxpayers have lived with a floor in medical deductions. That floor has now been raised from 5 percent to 7lh percent of adjusted gross income, and a new floor of 2 percent has been imposed on miscellaneous deductions This means that only those expenses that exceed the respective percentages are deductible. For many, the new floors have effectively eliminated these deductions.

Unreimbursed business expenses, which used to be deductible before you calculated adjusted gross income, are now lumped with other miscellaneous expenses and may no longer be dedu c tible for you. Try to convince your employer to reimburse as many of your business expenses as possible. Even if this means a reduction in direct pay, you may be better off in the long run

An effective planning strategy

created by these new floors for medical and miscellaneous expenses is deduction bunching. For example, some medical expenses are elective and may be incurred either this year or next Ukewise, many deductible miscellaneous expenses can be paid in 1988 or 1989. Decide which year you will have larger miscellaneous or medical expenses and then "bunch" your elective expenses in that year. That way you will improve your chances of exceeding the 71h percent or 2 percent floors.

In addi tion, make maximum use of your home mortgage deduction. In this age of disappearing deductions, mortgage interest remains as one of your most valued means of reducing taxable income However, recent tax Jaw changes have created a number of special considerations for determining exactly how much is deductible.

Generally, if you acquired indebted-

ness on a first or second home on or before Aug. 16, 1986, all of your inter est is deductible. For indebtedness incurred after that date, only the inter est on an amount equal to the cost of acquisition plus improvements is deductible There is an exception if the additional indebtedness is used for qualifying education or medical expenses.

Finally, indebtedness incurred after Oct. 13, 1987, is subject to further lim itations. Only the interest on acquisi tion indebtedness of $1 million for both a first and second home is deductible. In addition there is a limit of noo,ooo for home equity indebted ness

Some people have found it beneficial to transfer some consumer debt to home equity debt. This year only 40 percent of interest on consumer debt is deductible. That percentage will drop to 20 percent next year, 10 per

cent the year after, and will be com pletely gone in 1991. Try to pay off as much consumer debt as possible in 1988.

Remember that you can still take a full deduction for the fair market value of most charitable gifts. This is true whether the gift is cash, stock or real estate TRA '86 has significantly enhanced the role of planned giving in financial and tax planning, and the charitable deduction , one of the few deductions left intact, is available to everybody who itemizes :!

If you would like more information and a more detailed analysis of the tax planning implications for 1988, you can ask for a new booklet, "Tax Planning Strategies for Year End, " through the Office of Development, Texas Tech University/ TIU Health Sciences Center, P.O. Box 4650, Lubbock, TX 79409.

Probably the most common " non-cash" gift is one of securities. Some of the advantages of giving securities are:

• Gifts of appreciated securities may result in increased value of the gifts for the Loyalty Fund.

• The donor of securities (under current tax laws) will avoid capital gains tax.

• The donor is entitled to a federal income tax deduction.

The mechanics of giving securities vary according to the type involved. The Texas Tech Loyalty Fund is happy to discuss these details at any time.

Alumni groups abroad give Tech international reputation

Texas Tech University is going international. The Office of International Affairs has been established; more faculty are going overseas; more international linkages are being arranged; more Texas Tech students are seeking study abroad opportunities; and more Tech alumni organizations are being established overseas.

Faculty, as the result of a FulbrightHays grant from the U.S Department of Education through ICASALS, recently traveled to the Peoples Republic of China and collaborated on an arid and semi-arid project with Dr Changgui Wan, a 1987 Ph.D. graduate from range and wildlife management, who now is with the Grassland Research Institute of Lanzhou, China.

The faculty returned to the United States via Hong Kong. While there, the Hong Kong alumni chaired by Bosco Chan hosted a dinner for the Tech group. Many knew each other from classes where the faculty had had the alumni as students.

From Hong Kong, Jacque Behrens, director of the Office of International Programs at Tech , made a quick trip to Taipei to meet with 50 alumni. Juju Wang and Virginia Ma hosted the reception with alumni from the southern part of the Republic of China on Taiwan.

Historically, the largest percentage of international students at Texas Tech are from Taiwan.

During a visit to jordan in May 1988, Dr James jonish, professor of economics and deputy director pf the Internatio nal Center for Arid and

Land Studies at Tech, met with a number of alumni in Amman These included Dr. Issam Kerei, manager of the Arab Bank limited; Dr. Saleh Kasawneh, Undersecretary of Labor; and Dr Kahlid Abdullah, assistant general manager of the Jordan National Bank. Jonish gave a presentation to the jordan Banking Association and attended a r eception in which seven other Tech alumni were present

In July, Behrens visited with alumni in the Kuala Lumpur area when she was there to make preliminary arrange ments for a Texas campus in Shah Alam, Malaysia Eighteen Tech faculty have taught or are teaching in the Texas program at Shah Alam and many have established and maintained contact with Texas Tech alumni in the Shah Alam, Petaling Jaya, and Kuala Lumpur areas

A number of graduates from the program in Malaysia have relocated to and are presently continuing their studies toward a degree from Texas Tech.

Initially, these groups were informal, but with interest expressed by faculty and the Office of International Programs, the groups in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Jordan, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are becoming more formally organized.

Alumni networking serves several purposes:

3 It assists prospective students to Texas Tech in other countries who may get in touch with, and establish correspondence with, Texas Tech alumni living near them;

4 It recognizes alumni as the best recruiters;

The Office of International Programs is attempting to collect names and addresses of international alumni to establish a netwo rk of TTU constitu ents in many nations around the world Alumni newsletters have been sent to the alumni in the past four years

Recently, John Greiner , a former faculty member in engineering technology and then a faculty member at the Texas campus in Malaysia, has joined the Office of International Programs in coordinating the Texas Tech Red Raider Alumni Network.

Many Tech faculty and staff who travel to other countries may have occasion to contact Texas Tech alumni, either officially or unofficially. These individuals are being asked to contact the Office of International Programs for names of alumni in the country or countries they plan to visit.

Texas Tech's vice president for academic

affairs and research, Dr Donald R Haragan, and executive vice president Dr. Bernhard T. Mittemeyer of the Health Sciences Center, gained the titles of executive v p ./provost for their respective campuses Sept. 23.

The appointments were made by Interim President Elizabeth Haley and were quickly confirmed by the Tech Board of Regents.

The executive vice president / provost positions were part of an upper level administrative reorganization approved by the regents Sept. 2. Under the plan, the president remains as chief execu tive officer but will be allowed addi· tional time for fund raising and other public relations activities

The new posts make Haragan and Mittemeyer the chief operating officers

of Tech and the Health Sciences Center, in charge of the daily academic and operational affairs of the University.

Texas Tech radiates a positive image

to newly admitted students, a Tech recruiter says

A survey conducted this summer by Lin Carter, assistant director of new student relations, and the student affairs office is representative of new students admitted to the University.

According to the survey, Tech's image in the eyes of entering freshmen is positive and Tech is not seen as an alternative school. Students surveyed were asked to choose from a list of 24 words that describe Tech. Words selected most frequently were friendly, fun , social, comfortable, relaxed and career-oriented Survey words chosen least often were intense, snobbish, impersonal, not well known and backup school.

"This year I've seen even a better image of Tech," Carter said

He added that the improved image possibly is due to a change in admission standards coupled with Tech's desire to move toward higher academic standards.

As a recruiter in the Office of New Student Relations, Carter said he and other recruiters spend most of the fall semester visiting high schools in Texas and New Mexico. Carter recently returned from a two-week recruiting trip in Dallas, the home of many Tech students

"In Dallas, we have a very good image ," he said.

According to the survey, Tech compares well to other colleges.

The characteristics rated best or bet· ter at Tech than other colleges were attractiveness of campus, quality of majors, quality of social life and quality of academic facilities.

Tech's worse characteristics, or those rated poorer than other colleges by new students, were ease for stu dents to get home, location of the country, surrounding and access to offcampus activities.

Brent Roper received a doctorate in sociology in 1971 at Washington State University. While there , Roper shared in the political activism of the times by demonstrating in support of the Black Student Union, and participating in a graduate student strike which closed down the sociology department.

Since those days , Roper has come to be a professor at Tech Today, he is relaxed Wearing his usual lecturing attire of a sweatshirt and jeans, he leans his chair back in his book-filled office and talks.

"We want to help the world. What can we do? We were asking this in the 1960s. There was a liberal movement, the social sciences attracted those seeking answers to questions like Vietnam, poverty, welfare and equal rights. But there were no answers. We were getting no answers. It took me a few years to realize that.

"'Gee, I would like to help people,' everyone was saying. But they got out in the real world and found out how important money is, how important security is, found the importance of being able to buy a house We burned out."

He adde d that young people kept on looking to the future , but not to society's-to their own The young moved away from trying to save the world, and started to look out for their own self-interest.

"There has been this drive to win in America," Rope r said. ''You can see this competition everywhere, saying 'Winning is everything.' Just look at the Olympics-everyday there were the medal counts; who has the most, us or the Russians? It is all black and white, allowing no gray area for satisfaction in a job well done. It's just win or lose," he said.

In the past few years, Roper said he has noticed that students are returning to the altruistic attitudes that marked the 1960s, saying 'Maybe I can help someone .'

"Attitudes seem to be similar to those at the beginning of the 1960s movement. There is no way I can see this becoming a movement; not now. It is just an individual, personal thing. Big

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

James G. and Louise Allen

The

College administrators hope most students at least recognize the name of their academic dean by the end of their senior year. But Tech administrators are certain all business administration students know the face of Dean Carl H.

Carl Stem

Stem by the first week of their freshman year.

Stem, aside from demanding duties as dean of the college, keeps an active hand in the classroom. He goes one step further by filling that classroom with 900 freshmen students each semester.

The class isBA 1390, Business Enterprise, a formidable overview of the American Business System and the College of Business Administration and its workings.

"I think most faculty feel that my teaching this course. is a plus. Just the position I'm ih causes-! h ope it causes- the students to pay more attention to the curriculum," Stem explained. ·

After nine years at the front of the college's largest lecture hall, Stem views the duty as part of his job description while admitting that it is uncommon to see the head of a major business school in a classroom.

The job is a carryover from Stem's predecessor Dr. Jack Steele, who founded the course in the early 1970s as a noncredit student orientation that hosted business executives and faculty members as guest speakers.

Two years ago, Stem restructured the mandatory course with the help of the late Robert Amason, professor of marketing, to include a graded curriculum and three hours of credit for each year's freshman class of 1,700.

The class focuses on the functional field of business, specialized fields of study in the business college, services and organizations available to students and even dips into career trends and business ethics.

Stem sees the as an invaluable orientation tool. But he is even more proud of BA 1390's role as an early start at improving the quality of a stu-

dent's education through graduation.

"This is a large institution, and it can be very impersonal," Stem said. "My being in a freshman class makes it somewhat less impersonal, I hope."

An organization's success is based on the quality of its leadership. Leadership has a powerful effect on virtually every aspect of business life, and effective, creative leadership is needed to achieve an organization's goals in today's quickly changing world.

People kJ1ow leadership when they see it, but people differ in what they perceive a leader to be.

Horn Professor of management Dr. J.G. Hunt said most people think of leadership in a fixed, concrete waythat leadership is something specific that can be attained.

The employee's description of the manager's performance may be based on both the manager's actual behavior and on the employee's perception of the manager.

Hunt said that people have preconceived ideas about leadership. They know in their mind what makes a good leader and what makes a bad leader.

Exactly how these ideas form is uncertain, l:lilnt added, but evidence. suggests that people do have these models of leadership

It's possible, he said, that these models are imprinted on the brain by the time people reach adulthood. Age, sex, educational level, early family life and early experiences may influence leader ship models.

"If the manager's behavior is consistent with the employee's model of a good leader, the manager has a big advantage as far as that particular employee is concerned."

In fact, the relationship may become a self-fulfilling prophecy, he said. The employee is satisfied The employee obeys the manager. This reaction makes the manager like that employee more, and the manager's positive response compares even more favorably with the employee's leadership model.

"This happens because the employee sees the boss as a leader and tends to interpret what the boss does as being leadership acts."

likewise, the employee won't see the manager as a good leader if the manager's actions conflict with the employee's l eadership model. A relatively unexciting, but competent leader may not stimulate a particular employee if "in the subordinate's mind a leader should be charismatic, leap tall buildings in a single bound and great things like that."

If the employee doesn't see the manager as a good leader, it may be harder to get good results from the employee.

EDUCATION

their sexist attitudes in numerous ways over the last two decades. Dr. Mackie Bobo of the College of Education found great differences in response to a questionnaire survey from 1971 to 1988. .

Female choices, she said, have changed more than males , and research indicates that girls have more realistic choices For girls , "teacher" is no longer the first choice in all grades, and career choices of lawyer and doctor are more prevalent than in 1971.

"Factors that influence sex-typed behavior obviously begin in preschool years in the home and carry over into the sch ool years," Bobo said. "The women's movement has attempted to impact such influences. Starting in the early 1970s, various feminist groups, for example, encouraged school districts to select texts that did not reinforce such sex stereotypes "

One area to examine sex role stereotypes is career choices of elementary school children In 1971 , researchers found that first and second graders, when asked what they wanted to be when they grew up, responded as follows: Of the 31 boys, nine chose football player and four chose policeman Less frequent went to doctor, dentist,

priest, pilot and astronaut. Of the 33 girls, 13 chose nurse, 11 chose teacher. Less mentioned mother, stewardess and salesgirl. One girl said doctor

"To determine if the women's movement had overcome some of the influence of 'sexist' books, television and the like, the survey was repeated in 1979 and extended through the sixth grade," Bobo said

Results showed that by the end of the 1970s, girls appear to have overcome many sex stereotype ideas about careers for women. While teacher and nurse were still popular choices at the end of the 1970s, they also expressed interest in a wide variety of occupa· tions, including many that were tradi tionally considered to be men's jobs , such as nuclear scientist, Bobo said "Being a professional athlete was still the most popular choice for boys," she added. "So some of the general trends reported in 1971 's study still prevailed in 1979."

The current research completed in the spring of 1988 attempted to further determine if the sex role stereotyping and career choices of elementary children has changed.

"It is evident from the statistics that girls appear to have overcome many of the stereotypes about careers for women," Bobo said "Although teacher is still the most popular choice for girls in grades 1 S, and nurse is still the most popular second choice in grades 1,2, and 4 , the impact of career choice changes is dramatic in the overall pic ture."

In grade 6 , she pointed out, the most popular career choice for girls was lawyer, with teacher second and doctor third.

"Even more significant, perhaps, is the proliferation of a wide variety of other occupations, including many pre-

viously considered non traditional female occupations, such as astronaut, engineer, professional athlete, banker, pilot, mayor, archaeologist, air traffic controller, and even president."

Perhaps the most interesting piece of information in Bobo's study of 1,576 students is that the girls seem to have a much more realistic appraisal of career opporrunities The career choices of boys by contrast are much less realistic and seem to reflect a romanticized conception of the "macho" image

"For instance, only a tiny portion of the boys will ever be professional ath · letes or professional motorcycle rae· ers," Bobo said. "It is much more likely that girls will be teachers, nurses, doctors and lawyers than boys will be pro· fessional athletes. Of course, there is still a portion of the female choices that list cheerleading, model, actress and ballerina-but not as top choices."

One of the program's benefits for Tech is the international exposure, he added. Students also have the benefit of seeing other cultures, and it presents a good opportunity for Texas to build trade relations with Lower Saxony.

The Tech interior

design program, administered by the College of Home Economics, recently received accreditation from the Foundation for Interior Design Education Research (FIDER).

The interior design program was reorganized in 1987 to combine an existing interior design program in the department of art in the College of Arts & Sciences with the housing and interiors program offered in the department of merchandising, environmental design and consumer economics in home economics

The merged interior design program involves a balance between function and aesthetics and includes both nonresidential and residential design.

The program offers a bachelor of interior design degree, a master of science degree in home economics with an emphasis in housing and interiors and a Ph.D. in home economics with an option in environmental design and consumer economics.

Coordinator of the interior design program, Dr. JoAnn Shroyer, said the accreditation indicates the Texas Tech program meets the program standards set by the accrediting body. The accreditation was granted after a FIDER team reviewed the Texas Tech program in April.

of the College of Home Economics said his most difficult challenge will be raising revenues to meet scholarship needs of graduate and undergraduate students.

Dr. Stephen Jorgensen said he plans to continue building on the strong pro-

grams already in progress within the college

His main goal, however, is to continue the development of sponsor donations that aid students financially.

Special events are being planned to bring well-known people in the field of home economics to Tech to help raise money for scholarships. Recruiting top students to the University is another priority, Jorgensen said. Outstanding students are attracted through scholarships

Quality students are also attracted by quality programs. Jorgensen said faculty and staff members are responsible for making students aware of the quality programs offered by the college Jorgensen said his selection as acting dean was based on six years experience as an administrator in the college.

"I have been actively involved in many areas of research and graduate studies, and I know a great deal about the operation of the college," he said. "As a whole, I have a broad perspective of the many different major programs and faculty that spans all the way from clothing and textiles to home economics education and to family financial planning."

"I see a little bit of a rise in idealism again," said Beth O 'Neil, a spokeswoman for the Law School Admissions Council in this Associated Pressreleased report.

This fall, according to the report, the nation's 175 accredited law schools were flooded with more than 300,000 fall applications from 75,000 students, 19 percent more than last year and the most since 1980, according to the Law School Admissions Council.

Applications dropped in the mid1980s but began recovering last fall and are now surging.

TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY HEALTH SCIENCES CENTER

Sen. Bentsen sees bright future for MEDNET project

By Preston Lewis

Sen. lloyd Bentsen, who has supported innovative health care delivery to rural communities through modern communications technology, got a taste of the potential during a demonstration at the Health Sciences Center Aug. 17.

Bentsen participated in a televi deo consultation between physicians at the Health Sciences Center in Lubbock and La Fe Clinic in El Paso. The demonstration, which utilized satellite transmission, pro vided a glimpse into the future of the HSC's MEDNET project.

The School of Medicine will implement MEDNET over the next three years to demonstrate how communication technologies may help overcome the difficulties of distance and access to medical services for practitioners and residents of rural areas Federal funding of $2 2 million has been

promised by the Department of Health and Human Services for the project and will be matched by $2.1 million in project revenues and contributed salaries.

" Rural health care," Bentsen said, "has been one of the deep concerns for all of us because what we have seen is a deterioration in the quality of life in rural communities. The solution isn' t just to move everyone to town but to do what you can to not only maintain but also improve that quality of health care. That' s why I seized upon this idea. "

During the demonstration, Bentsen and a dozen national media representatives covering his vice presidential campaign watched tel evision monitors as Rebeca Gomez, staff physician and medical director of La Fe Clinic, examined a 10year-old patient with a congenital heart defect On the Lubbock end of the broadcast, pediatric cardiol-

ogist Veronica Schmer and pediat ric geneticist Terry Myers, both of the HSC faculty, offered Gomez their assessments of the young patient's status and gave advice for his clinical management.

That type of "face-to-face " video consultation-or telediagnosisbetween the general practitioner and the specialist is one of the services envisioned when MEDNET is implemented. Others include tete pathology, teleradiology, automated medical records and billing sys· terns, telefacsimile exchange and medical record review. MEDNET will evaluate the effectiveness of providing these services through an interactive telecommunications network

"There's no way in those rural hospitals that you can have the sophistication and the variety of services offered that you would have in a medical center like this

one," Bentsen said. "This (MEDNET) helps answer that problem through high te ch and modem science ."

Bentsen said MEDNET has implications extending beyond West Texas and rural America to the world where so many developing nations have staggering health needs.

Long a proponent of addressing our rural health care needs, Bentsen, through his recent vice presi dential candidacy, focused national attention on the problems facing rural h e alth care delivery.

MEDNET is the latest of three separate HSC projects with implications for improving rural health care delivery thro ugh the applica tion of modem teleco mmunications technology.

The first is KARENET, an inter disciplinary project administered

by the School of Nursing. KARENET demo nstrates how combining human networks with informational technologies, specifically computers, has a positive impact o n the d elivery of health care to the West Texas community. HSC faculty and staff, in conjunction with health care professionals at demonstration sites in Lubbock, El Paso and Morton, have developed and implemented a computerized system providing h ealth care records, patient care management protocols, continuing education and patient education programs

KARENET is supported b y a grant from the W K Kellogg Foundation with computer donations from AT&T.

INTERNET is the second project. INTERNET is being funded by pri vate donations and institutional funds to link the HSC's four

regional campuses together by two-way, interactive video. Once the network is in place next spring, administrative meetings, conferences and possibly eve n patient examinations at one site can be shown at the other three campuses. In addition to the inhouse usage , the system has potential for a variety of community and regional applications.

Under impleme ntation by the School of Medicine, MEDNET joins those two projects as a way the HSC is trying to improve rural health care delivery. While the three netwo rks use different technologies, they are all working toward the goal of " telecommun ity" where telecommunications can help bring together residents throughout the region into a ultimately healthier it commuruty.

-Coach Gerald Myers

By Kelly Robinson

There are both good and bad points that must be observed when one considers the prospects for the upcoming Texas Tech basketball season. On the positive side of the ledger is the fact that head coach Gerald Myers welcomes back four starters and nine letter winners from the 1987-88 squad. On the flip side of that is the negative news-the Raiders were 9 19 with that assortment of returnees.

"A lot of people will say that having those same players back may not be a good thing for us, " said Myers, who begins his 18th full season at Tech. "I think that we'll be much improved because these players have all experienced what we're trying and wanting to do in our program. It has to be a positive factor for us."

Included in the group of retur nees for the Raiders will be senior guard Sean Gay, considered by many to be one of the top guard prospects in the country. Gay, a 63 player, will likely be called on to once again run the team from the point guard spot. He averaged a team-high 15.0 points a game last season and also contributed 5.1 rebounds and 4 .7 assists an outing.

"I look for Sean to have a good senior season," said Myers. "He has three years of our system under his belt and that will help him this year more than ever. "

Joining Gay among returnees in the backcourt are senior Todd Duncan and junior Jerry Mason The twosome started a combined total of 19 games last season and should each be improved in their

overall game this year after hard work in the summer months

Duncan, who led the SWC in three-point shooting last season by hitting 45.9 percent (67-of-146), will be counted on heavily in regard to scoring and ballhandling. The Lubbock Coronado product was a rookie in the Gerald Myers system last year, and with that experience on his resume, he should be a solid contributor in 1988-89 Duncan averaged 11.0 points an outing, second on the team, and led the Raiders in free throw percentage during SWC play as he hit 82 percent ( 14 -of- 17) Mason, a 6-3 jumping jack from Lamesa, started during the latter part of last season and began to show signs of becoming the type of player he was expected to be after a stellar high school career. He averaged 10.4 points a game in '87'88 and hit 81 percent from the charity stripe during the year as he connected on 34-of-42 attempts

Another prospect at a guard spot is 6-6 swingman Scott Whillock, who saw action last season at second-guard as well as at small forward The Clinton, Ark., junior played in 25 contests a year ago and even started in 12. He averaged 3.4 points and hit 44.4 per cent from the three-point line dur ing the year.

The final guard on the roster is sophomore walk-on Johnny Grusing, who played in just two games last year, but looked like he may be ready to play some with a solid showing in summer league action

While the Raiders have at least three solid prospects at the guard

spots, the forward positions may also be a tough competition for playing time. Including Whillock, there are at least four prospects at the forward spots who could be vying for starting spots.

Returning at one position from last year's starting lineup is sophomore Steve Miles, a 6-8 Dallas player. Miles started in 19 games last year as a redshirt freshman. and by the end of the season was mak ing strides toward becoming a force to contend with He threw in 4.8 points a contest and also grabbed 3 9 boards a game in '87 '88. With a solid summer of competition in the Dallas leagues, Miles should be o ne of the top sopho mores in the league this season.

Another of the league's top sophs could come from the Red Raiders in 6-5 James Johnson. "Dawg," as he is referred to by teammates, has a knack for coming through with big plays and if he can correct "freshman" mistakes that he made last season, he should contend for lots of minutes this year. The Tyler native played in 25 games last year and averaged 2.6 points and two boards a game.

The elder statesman of the for ward candidates is 6-6 senior Tracy White from Spring. Tracy, although not having a lot of minutes in his first three seasons, has a chance to play a huge role on the 1988-89 Red Raider squad. The top outside shooter among the forward types, White only took two three-point shots last season, but canned them both His improvement and expe rience will have a bearing on just how good this Tech team may end

111 think that we'll be much improved."

up being.

Since we called Scott Whillock a swingman at guard/ forward , we would be misleading the public not to refer to 6-10 junior Wes Lowe in the same manner. The biggest difference, obviously, is that Lowe will swing between the big forward spot and the post position, which is where he spent most of last season. He may get to see more action facing the basket this season if Maurice Artis, a 7-0 sophomore from Killeen, is improved and if newcomer J.D. Sanders, a 6 9 JUCO redshirt, is half as good as he appears to be.

Lowe, who by most of the socalled experts' assessments, was the most improved player in the SWC last year, will be an important cog in the Raider machinery this season. The Mesquite product averaged 10.0 points an outing in 1987-88 and pulled down 5.2 rebounds a game. He hit 51.3 per cent from the field and was usually playing against the opposing team' s biggest man. If he improves as much as he did a year ago , Lowe could be one of the top big men in the SWC this year

Artis is one of the youngest big men in the league at 7 0. He saw limited action in just 26 games last season as a true freshman and is expected to use that experience to the hilt this year He averaged just 2.3 points a game , but showed signs, at least offensively, of being able to handle major college opposition.

Probably the brightest prospect the Raiders have had in some time is Sanders, a 230 pounder from Buffalo, N.Y He was redshirted last season after transferring to Tech from Nebraska Western ]C. His addition to the team gives Coach Myers a chance to use several different combinations on his front line. Sanders has the muscles to play the post position and the shooting touch and finesse to p e r form at the forward spot, as well.

The above collection of players will be called on to mold the 1988-89 Red Raiders and to help make Tech fans forget about the disaster of the 9-19 (4-12, 7th place in SWC) finish a year ago

The only players missing from the group last year are departed senior starter Greg Crowe, junior Kenny Keller (quit team to concentrate on graduating next year) and jun ior Rodney Henderson (an academic casualty). Sanders is the only new face in the crowd because the Raiders will be without the services of JUCO signee Marshall Taylor and freshmen Rob Murphy and Will Flemons due to Proposition 48.

It's always been said, the best house in the Collseum during a Red Raider basketball game is behind Coach Gerald Myers. His normally quiet nature is anything but that during a good game.

What Tech fans in 1988-89 do have to look forward to is one of the best home schedules in Texas Tech basketball history. The Raiders will be in the friendly confines of Lubbock Municipal Coliseum for 16 home games this season and some will be against the nation's premier teams.

Just for grins, try to take on the likes of Purdue (Dec 1 ) , Nebraska (Dec. 11 ) , defending NCAA champ Kansas (Dec. 21), and New Orleans Qan. 14) in the non-conference season at home.

If that won't cut it, go on the road to face UCLA (Nov. 26 in the season opener), Colorado State (Dec. 29) and SWC foes across the board It should be a fun season i'E

Longhorn well,

-Gracie Santana

By Joel Brown

Gracie Santana sat in Mick Haley's office one day last December as he mapped out his intentions. Haley, volleyball coach of the then-top-ranked University of Texas Longhorns, offered a scholarship to the high school all-star gem from El Paso. At the time, Haley made it clear that the scholarship might not still be available if Santana visited other sc hools

"To be honest, everybody wants to go to Texas. And I thought I wanted to go to Texas, too," said Santana, outside hitter for the Tech volleyball team.

Considering the circumstances, Santana probably did what any senior recruit would do-she made a verbal commitment. But after the commitment was made, Santana began to visit other schools before national signing day.

Tech Coach Donna Martin and assistants Lucy Courtney and Bill Schutt made sure the 18 year-old Santana saw Lubbock and Texas Tech before she chose a college.

Something about the whole situation that day in Haley's office unsettled Santana Surely such recruiting tactics have paid off for Haley in the past, but this time, perhaps Santana was unprepared for such a momentous decision

"Then I met (the Tech coaches) and I liked them a lot," Santana

Texas Tech frn1unan outside hitter Glade Santana played at the Junior World Games in Canada last summer and luis emerged as one of Tec:hs stars this fall.

said. "That's when Donna said, ' I still want you to come and see our school.' They treated me nice."

After making other visits to Arizona and the University of Texas at Arlington, Santana said she talked with her mother before changing her mind about attending ur. At that point she told Martin she

would be joining Tech. "And the last person I called was Mick (Haley) . We just had a little argument and we hung up the phone," she said.

Another reason Santana chose Tech over UT was that the Lady Longhorns were returning 11 players from last year's final four team

almost

'7 liked Texas Tech, and I thought, 7'm going to be happier there."'

"He was saying I had a chance to play, but I knew I didn't," she said.

Tech not only won over Santana, but her family as well. "My family really loved it (Tech)," she said. Some friends, however, were not as easily impressed.

"Everybody asked, 'Why Texas Tech?"' Santana said. She replied simply, "I liked Texas Tech, and I thought, 'I'm going to be happier there."'

Martin made it clear during the pre-season how happy she was that Santana chose the Red Raiders, and once the season began, Santana left no doubt that she can mix it up with some of the nation's better players.

Through the month of September, Santana (still four months short of her 19th birthday) had been named to three of four alltournament teams and was leading the Red Raiders in hitting percentage. Not bad for a young athlete fresh out of high school.

From a recruiting standpoint, signing a player even considered by UT to another Southwest Conference school is a rarity. Assistant Coach Courtney said Santana is "probably one of the best" and hopes signing the former El Paso Ysleta star will open the floodgates for other top recruits to follow.

"I think the whole strength of our program is getting bettermore respect all over the country," Courtney said.

Despite Santana' s high school recognition (she was tWice named El Paso player of the year while at Ysleta) and experience on the National Junior Elite team which played in the Junior World Games in Canada, there still were butterflies in her stomach the first time she took the court for Tech.

To tell the truth, I was nervous," she said. "But even if you get on the court and you're the most nervous person in the world , you've still got to go out the.re and do it."

·Whatever apprehensions Santana may have had in choosing a college, or in playing that first game of the season, seem to be far behind her

"I don' t regret anything," she said. And neither does Tech. l'E

Edward Whitacre: Relishing a challenge

Edward E. Whitacre '64 refers to his student persona as "nondescript." Perhaps modest would be a more apt label. Vice chairman and chief financial officer of Southwestern Bell, Whitacre is not much given to blowing his own hom.

A native of Ennis, Texas, Whitacre e ntered Tech in 1960 and soon found a niche that suited his interests-industrial engineering. He was interested in both engineering and management and was attracted to IE because of its emphasis on people in the workplace .

He attributes his rise through Southwestern Bell to "timing" and good bosses. But, on talking with him, one gets the feeling that perseverance and adaptability had more than a little to do with his success. Take the story of his first job with Southwestern Bell, a summer position in the Dallas office.

" I walked into the Dallas office and said, 'I sure need a job,' and they said, 'We don't have any,' and I said, 'Well, that doesn 't matter to me, I still need one,' and I talked the guy into giving me a job."

The summer job led to a position as student engineer in Lubbock the following fall, and he has been with the company ever since.

Upon graduation, Whitacre began a series of varied and interesting assignments in Texas, New York, Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri. His aspiration at the beginning of his career was "to achieve the middle level of management at Southwestern Bell."

But his goals grew along with his achievements and, with each assignment, he became more interested in the next greater challenge. As the company's financial manager, Whitacre finds that his engineering background, with its emphasis upon mathematics, analytical skills and juggling of multiple problems has been an important asset in meeting dynamic corporate needs.

Working for Southwestern Bell has provided Whitacre with many challenges and an equal number of satisfactions. From his point of view, the best aspect of his career has been its variety.

"I work for a big company," he said, "which means there are a lot of different jobs. I've never been bored. I've been fortunate in that I've never had to stay on a job long enough for it to become drudgery."

Whitacre's varied responsibilities, which have ranged from repair fore-

man to president of the Kansas divi sion, prepared him for his current position by allowing him to become familiar with virtually all of the company's operations.

The Kansas presidency was one of Whitacre's more satisfying experiences. He held the assignment while Southwestern Bell was going through divestiture, a traumatic period for the company employees during which it was critical to nurture morale and to foster a team attitude.

In addition to helping hold things together, Whitacre was involved in the startup of new subsidiaries: Southwestern Bell Publications, Southwestern Bell Mobile Systems, and Southwestern Bell Telecom, an equipment company.

Not o nly have Whitacre's responsibilities grown over the years, his sense of responsibility has increased as well Among the duties he has assumed is support for Texas Tech through donations of both funds and time. He has served on the Industrial Advisory Board for the department of industrial engineering and today serves as chairman of the board of the Texas Tech Univer sity/ Health Sciences Center Research Foundation.

Surgeon and new technique rescue Jessica

Shortly after returning from a hunting trip in Colorado last October, plastic surgeon Dr. Terry D. Tubb '64 was called to Midland Memorial Hospital to evaluate the injuries of an IS-monthold girl.

The young patient, Jessica McClure, was quickly becoming the top news story in the world , as just moments earlier she had been rescued from her 58-hour ordeal in an abandoned water well shaft.

Tubb arrived at the hospital and found Jessica with injuries to her right foot , her forehead and her scalp. His role in the recovery process would come after Jessica was rehydrated and the swelling on her scalp had decreased.

The first surgical procedure would be on Jessica's right foot. She had fallen into the eight inch diameter well shaft in an awkward position that cut off the circulation in her foot. There was the threat that amputation might be necessary, and surgery would begin as soon as possible.

The surgical team would include Tubb and fellow Midland Memorial Hospital surgeons, Dr Shelton Vmey, general surgeon, and Dr Charles Younger, orthopaedic surgeon Tubb was a consultant to the team, advising and finally making the decision to remove an unsalvage able toe, and skin grafting the right foot. The three surgeons donated their services.

Tubb said that saving Jessica's foot was critical at that point. "We wanted to get her foot taken care of while we

just put a dressing on her scalp and forehead ."

Three weeks after the rescue, Tubb began surgery on Jessica's scalp, which had been scraped severely both on the front and back of her head He decided that using the tissue expansion tech nique would give Jessica the best cosmetic results, but because of the recent surgery on her foot, and because of her age, Tubb decided to take th e technique one step further

To speed up the procedure, he would perform rapid tissue expansion The usual tissue expansion technique normally takes four to six weeks Because Tubb' s team used rapid ti ssue expansion, Jessica's surgery was per· formed in 59 minutes

This procedure involves the implantation of silicon balloons on each side of the forehead underneath the scalp. A valve is attached to the balloons and a needle is inserted into the valve to fill the balloon with saline solution As the balloons are filled, the skin stretches.

" She had so much discomfort with her foot , we didn 't want to drag out this procedure and antagonize her," Tubb said "I'd heard of rapid tissue expansion, but never used it. We took this technique to its limits, with skin grafting as an alternative."

Tubb said the risks involved with the innovative procedure were less than the ri sk of the damage to her foot that might result if Jessica wouldn ' t remain still.

"Saving her foot was more important than getting perfect results on her forehead," he said. ''Jessica made tissue expansion a household word."

After the surgery, all the surgeons were interviewed at CBS, ABC and NBC and by Cable Network News. Her rescue was televised as far away as Moscow

" Every day, we were hanging on the line with Jessica," Tubb said "Then at the end of the day, we 'd have to face the media."

The excitement of Jessica's ordeal drew attention to the process of tissue repair and called for innovative surgical procedures

He's young, energetic and he 's the newly appointed U.S District Judge of the Northern District of Texas, Sam R Cummings '67

A Lubbock native, Cummings took his post Dec. 11, 1987, upon appointment by President Ronald Reagan. To take the position, he left his civil law practice of 17 years with the firm of Culton, Morgan, Britain and White of Amarillo, where he had been a partner for 13 years.

He was recommended to President Reagan for the U.S. District Judge 's seat based in Lubbock by Senator Phil Gramm in April 1987 after Gramm's judicial selection committee found him to be the best man for the job. The selection committee is comprised of a bipartisan group of 20 or so lawyers from across the state. Cummings was selected from more than 25 applicants

Cummings said the committee mainly looks at an applicant's trial experience and his or her judicial temperament (the ability to remain fair and impartial), when deciding on a nominee.

Each nominee to a federal court position must pass a rigorous background check by the U.S. Justice Department, the scrutiny of the Senate Judiciary Committee and a vote by the U.S. Senate.

According to Cummings, because of his background in civil law, the only hurdle to his confirmation was a question of his making a transition into dealing with the criminal area of law. But he said he has been able to keep up with criminal law and the transition was not a problem.

"You have your federal rules of criminal procedure and certain evidentury rules that apply to criminal cases, and once you have those matters in mind, it's not all that difficult," he said

"The primary thing that I think a judge must be careful about in a criminal area is to make sure that defendant's rights are being protected. I literally see anyone who comes in here as a defendant in a criminal case as being an innocent individual entitled to full protection of the Constitution until proven guilty. Your only concern is to see that defendants have their fair day in court and that is not all that difficult because the rules are fairly simple and straightforward."

Cummings said his docket is generally composed of civil cases involving federal law questions in securities, anti-

trust, patent infringement and civil rights. He said these cases are usually very complicated and involve big money.

He does see some criminal cases, most of which are drug related. "It (drug related crime) is a real problem and it's getting to be more of a problem," Cummings said "There is no easy solution to it. The only thing I know is that the government is going to have to spend more money on enforcement to try and combat the problem. It's something that gives me a lot of concern because I feel like we are losing the war. Where it is going to end up, I don't know."

According to Cummings, one way to help combat the drug problem and other criminal activity is through certain and inunediate punishment of offenders. Many might say that in the current judicial system, this is not possible, with criticism being made of probation and parole. But, he added, things have changed at the federal level.

In November 1987 , Congress enacted what are called sentencing guidelines into the federal court system. Cummings said these guidelines are more stringent on offenders than the rules of the past. On one hand, the sentencing guidelines dictate to judges across the nation a range of punishment that can be imposed upon an offender, and on the other, probation and parole are not available.

Cummings said under the old sys-

tem, for the same offense, say a bank robbery, one federal judge could impose a certain punishment on the offender and another federal judge in another district could impose a completely different punishment. Both judges would be well within their authority to be as strict or as lenient as they wished based upon what a presentence investigation might warrant.

"Now we have a uniform guideline which all the judges across the country have to follow," he said. "So if someone robs a bank here in Lubbock, they are going to get ahnost the same punishment assessed against them as someone would get anywhere else

"Under these guidelines, we are doing away with, for the most part, probation in the federal courts and we are doing away with parole ," he added. " People are not going to be paroled from prison for 'good time ' like they were under the old system. If someone is sentenced to 10 years, they are going to serve close to 10 years. You are going to see more people going to prison for longer periods of time."

Cummings likes the new sentencing guidelines because they are more equitable and they set parameters for fair and uniform punishment across the country

Cummings said in anticipation of more people going to prison, the federal government is constructing several new prisons to provide an additional 7 ,000 beds by 1995, but he adds that this will not be enough He said that as long as society tells congress to "put these people away," spending money on new prisons is the price society will have to pay to keep criminals off the street.

Although the new guidelines are good, Cummings is not naive enough to think they will have a real affect on the crime rate "If someone is committed to the idea of breaking the law, they are not going to be too worried about what the punishment is because no one thinks they :will get caught."

However, he did say the certainty and the inunediacy of punishment in the new sentencing guidelines is a step in the right direction.

Cummings and his wife, Sally, whom he met at Tech, have two children, David, 16, and Julie, 13. He has a twin brother, Jim, also a Tech-ex, who is the executive vice president of First National Bank in Lubbock. (By David A. Martin)

They brought 16 children this year, along with husbands and the various comforts of college-educated industriousness-Chevy Suburbans, pop-up campers, sailboards-but basically, it's still the same old "gang" from Texas Tech's Drane Hall, getting together again for Labor Day.

This group of women friends who met in Tech's Drane Hall has been reuniting every Labor Day since 1973.

"It's no trouble," said Carolyn Tun nell Ogden '71 , who lugged family, camper, sailboard and homemade picante sauce from Henderson in East Texas. "We've gotten it d own to a fine art."

Four shelters at Inks Lake State Park, northwest of Austin, housed the 1988 group, which included, in addition to Ogden and her husband , Richard; Betty Moldenhauer Eckert ' 72 and husband, Harvey; Julia Beard Garrett ' 72 and husband, Phil '72; Judy Powell Graham '71 and husband, Frank; Jeanne Spitler Guerra '71 and husband, Joe; and Sharon Leach Kohout '71, '75 and hus band, Wayne '75.

With them, the group brought eight boys and eight girls, ages 3 to 12

The tradition began when linda Mahlman Zacharias, another friend from Drane, invited the group to her home in Georgetown in 19 73 because the weddings that had assured their fre quent reunions had pretty much played out.

''We made a pact we 'd make it to everyone's wedding," said Judy Graham

Various sites have been chosen along the way. The gang even made it back to Lubbock in 1976, so that linda's husband, Bob Zacharias, then a Luthe ran minister in Wilson, could christen the Kohout's first child, now 12-yearold Shayne. All six couples are godparents.

After the third Labor Day, the Zacharias family was no longer attending, but the core of today's group had solidi fied The six remaining couples, and occasional out of-state members, such as Carol McGowan LeGasse and Kathy Garner, attend through postpartum complications and family crises Three week old offspring have graced more than one gathering.

Site chairman Julia Garrett always looks for a place with ample room for the multitude of children to pitch five igloo tents and get in some serious water fun Betty Eckert's brood claimed this year 's site, booked months in advance, but in the past , travelers from elsewhere have arrived to find camp sites staked out with grocery bags full of rocks emblazoned with big, red Double Ts marking the spot

This year, the music , along with the conversation, transported the group back to 1970, with Phil Garret's ubiquitous jam box blasting out Madonna and Bruce Springsteen tunes, and Carolyn Ogden's six-pack of "Oldies But Goodies" returning the Lovin' Spoonful and Judy Collins to fore . "Incense and Peppermint" alternated with Huey Lewis belting out "The Power of Love." Children seemed to like them all , with the Garrett's "Cali fornia Raisin" tape getting rave reviews from some of the almost-teenagers A tape of the Goin' Band playing the Tech fight song brought everyone (except liT grad Frank Graham) imme diately to their feet.

With several home economics majors among the group, mealtimes are structured , with one family assigned to pro vide and prepare each meal. Breakfasts, for instance, featured Coleman stove-

cooked breakfast tacos with Ogdenmade pico de galla Hobo dinners and steaks anchored dinner menus; champagne and Texas wine were brought o ut Saturday night to toast " 16 years of reunions."

Texas Tech roots go deep with this group . Carolyn Ogden's grandfather, Texas Senator William Harrison Bled soe, wrote the bill that founded Texas Technological College in 1923 But none of the former residents of Drane are bent yet on pushing their children toward Lubbock.

"I've just gotten one to middle school," said Judy Graham " Let's not talk about college."

Still, Tech provided the germ for the friendship that has bloomed annually on Labor Day. Or, as Richard Ogden explained, "It's tradition now."

Then and now. The Drane Hall group posed for the J1rst picture J.n 1969.

EDITOR'S NOTEBOOK

A titne for reflection

By Marsha Gustafson, Editor

As I write this column, the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are . still ahead. Admittedly my favorite time of year, I've always made a point to stop for a time and reflect over the things in my life for which I should be thankful and with which I've been blessed. This prac tice , I think, causes us to assess our lives and to refrain from getting so busy that we start taking for granted those people or things that mean the most to us.

This year has been one of many changes for me. Most all ofthem for the better. I have realized the meaning of true friendship and family support. I have learned to place priorities on my time and how to be a more well-rounded individual, giving back to my community, to my family, my church, my friends and myself, some of the time I have previously spent on things of much less value.

Among my greatest blessings, and I have always felt that God has blessed my life abundantly, is my husband, Bill. We have been married many years; sometimes while looking at our super 21-year-old son, with whom we feel we both grew up, that time seems hardly more than hours. Bill is a member of the faculty here at Texas Tech and an incredible intellect. I have often marveled at his mind and its ability to remember so thoroughly. all that he reads. Bill is perfectly suited to be a university professor. Not only is he analytical and critical in his think ing, he has a true love for teaching and the valuable ability to look at a situation now and know what needs to be done to assure its growth or success in future years. Sometimes that has been quite frustrating, particularly when that success has related to Texas Tech.

Bill has a wonderful sense of humor and uses this in the classroom to illustrate and illumi nate a difficult aspect of the subject matter. His use of personal experiences colors his lectures and creates an atmosphere for discussion among his students. His greatest joy in being a professor comes when a class or group of students has grasped a concept and become involved in a stimulating discussion or debate. "Memorization is not education," Bill has said. "But the ability to apply learned material to various life situations, now that is education in the truest sense." This philosophy has been displayed in some "hard" exams over the years, something Bill is known for by his students. They can't merely regurgitate the facts; they are expected to apply them to different situations within the subject area. The better students have realized the importance of this philosophy. The poorer ones run to the dean's office or to another faculty member's office or to daddy to complain about the hard tests. Throughout Bill's 10 years with the College of Home Economics here at Tech, numerous parents have, at graduation, come up to Bill and thanked him for instilling in their son or daughter the desire to THINK, and how pleased they've been with dinner-time conversations which have been a showcase for the analytical thinking their child has developed.

To say I am proud of Bill is not enough. I would like to give him a trophy or plaque to hang on his wall, to show that I know the pride he takes in the college's good students and the mental agony and physical hours that have gone into building one of only two accredited financial planning programs in a college of home economics in the entire United States. This truly is an accomplishment, considering the small budget, the program's two -member faculty and the growing numbers of students interested in the major. I may be the only one who knows how frustrating his battle has been, and how much it has meant to him to have this program recognized nationally as good, tough preparation for the CFP exam and practice in the financial services industry.

At this season of reflection on all that is important to us, let me praise Bill Gustafson . He is a good husband, a wonderful father and a consummate academician. He may not always succeed in achieving every professi?nal goal, that hasn't stopped him from seeking to be the best he can be for the sake of hts program, his college's reputation and his academic credibil ity. I'm proud of him and love him very much.
