Wonderful WeekendNo Kidding

Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed getting to run in the 10K this past Saturday (Ho mecoming, Sept. 25 ). It was a fun race through the beau tiful campus of Texas Tech

Please thank all those at the Ex-Students Association and the sponsors for the fine race. I love my trophy, the certifi cate and the shirt.

Everyone helping with the race did a great job They were always friendly helpful when I had a question, the course was marke d well with sufficient aid stations, it was nice to have your time at each mile marker and people along the way t e lling you which way to go You always want to thank all these people along the way in the race, but when you are gasping fo r air and trying so hard to conserve anything you might have left, these niceties don' t get accomplished. Please thank them all for me now

It was just a wonderful w eekend altogether for me. My daughter, Annie Stobaugh, who is a senior at Tech, was there a t the race. I got to see all my Theta sis ters from the past 35 years and best of all , TECH BEAT BAYLOR It was the first game since I left Tech in 1958 that I h ave seen Tech win-no kidding. I just always seem to pick the wrong game to come to.

Thanks again for a splendid race I hope to come again sometime

I Dreamed I Saw Jane Hill

I just h ad to tell you h ow much plea lsure I received reading "I Dreamed I tSaw Jane Hill Last Night" by Russ Pate ton th e Editor's Notebook Page (Sept. iOct. 1988)

Of course I was in school and knew both the girls (Rhonda Lewis and Jane Hill), so it was s ure funny t o read Mr Pate's comme nts I'm sending copies to friends who might no t receive The Texas Techsan I also enjoyed the Author's Note

Martha West Griffith '69 Austin, Texas

More on Lewis/ Hill

I read Mr Russ Pate's article on Rhonda Lewis and Jane Hill (Sept.-Oct. 1988 ). This type of article will

undoubtedly raise o ur number of paid subscriptions to The Texas Tec hsan if we don 't lose our mailing permit first.

Pate got the date of the Tech u t. football game wrong (actually Sept. 28 , 1968 ), but they were obviously watch ing Rhonda and n o t the calendar. Finally, did anyone ever get a final count on just how many photos of Rhonda and Tom Sawyer actually appear in the 1968 U!Ventana? If Mike Dukakis could have gotten publicity like Sawyer did in that book, he could have gotten elected!

Impossible to Thank

Thank you fo r th e love ly story about my scholarship I am especially pleased you gave llah (Merriman) credit for sponsoring the scholarship in my name So far, I have gotten all the attention when llah is the one who made it possible She is due ALL the c r e dit Marsha, donors are confidential and there is no way I will ever know who has made contributions t o my scholar ship fund . I would like so much to thank everyo ne personally, but since that is impossible , i s there any way, through the Techsan, that I can say "thank yo u ?"

If there is, I trust yo u and your good taste t o prin t the right thing at the right time Just a few lines saying donors are confide ntial but that I would love to say "thank you" to the m all

LEITERS

One story that I remember occ urred during the Cotton Bowl game An intoxicated spectator was on the Texas Tech sideline. He wandered up to Coach Cawthon and slurre d , "Well , Coach, your boys aren't do ing very good." Cawthon had been drinking a Coke and still had the bottle in his hand. He hit the drunk man on the head with the bottle and knoc ked him unconscious. At least this was Doc's version of the story.

Chinese Alumni Form

I am writing this letter to extend our appreciation for the s upport of the Ex Students Association t o the newly established Texas Tech University Chi nese Alumni Association in Taiwan, RO.C. As a Tech ambassador, Jacque Behrens witnessed the birth of our organization Currently we have 85 members and publish a newsletter quarte rly

I would also like t o apologize for the delay of this le tte r since we have been waiting for the organization's lette rhead stationery This indicates that the organization s ho uld be a permanent one with a planned thought. Now, on behalf of this new group, allow me t o report to you officially. We are very proud of being members of the ExStudents Association

Pete's Boys Info

I knew a me mbe r of Pe t e's Boys (Coach Pete Cawthon 's foo tball play ers) who appeared on the Techsan's recent Lost Ust He was Kenneth ( Doc ) Madry He worked for the same company as I did in my first year-and-ahalf at GTE.

Ken is d eceased He died in late 1966 or very early 1967 in San Angelo and was buried in Brownwood

He was the second team ce nte r o n the 1938 Cotton Bowl team. Doc enjoyed telling me stories about Pete Cawthon. His eyes would light up and he 'd smile broadly.

Thank you all at the Ex Students Association for the Salutatorian Scholar ship I was awarded. I r e ally appreciate your h e lping me to obtain a higher education I h o pe to represent you well.

Those lazy, hazy, CRAZY days of sutntner

In the dead of winter, with cold winds and snow all around us , we present our annual look back on the chapter activities of the summer. The following photos represent the people and places that help make our chapter program such a success And don't forget to notify me as soon as possible about any dates or speakers your group will want this spring and summer when we get the ball rolling once again.

Let me amaze you with a few facts that you might not otherwise know: the Ex-Students Association last year put more than S300,000 back into the University in the form of academic scholarships, help with academic recruiting, support for the three librar ies on campus , help with faculty recruiting and many other requests and projects of the academic community.

We awarded some 100 scholarships to valedictori ans / salutatorians from throughout the country who elected to attend Tech

We awarded more than 55 scholarships to members of Phi Theta Kappa, the junior college equivalent of Phi Beta Kappa, that opted to attend Tech. We awarded about 25 scholarships to National Merit type students.

Some 20 of our local chapters have scholarships that are awarded t o deserving local high school and juco students coming to Tech. And our Endowed Scholarship program has a fund of Sl.3 million-out of that figure S400,000 to S500,000 is in designated scholarships.

The flip side of that story is that we could/ would/ should b e doing so much more if we only had the funds to work with Your increased support is the only way we can improve our efforts.

The brothers and sisters are Howard C. of Edmonds, Wash. , a 1933 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy; Rose mary Duff Williams '36 of Riverton , Wyo,; Beryl Barnett, deceased, a 1939 home economics major married to Gene Barnett of Plainview; L. Ann Duff Miller, a Tech grad residing in Lubbock and marrie d to Houston Miller; and Ida Rule Duff, who died in 1958

The scholarship is currently funding a $1,000 scholarship to Paige Williamson, wh o is in her second year at Tech and who earned the grant for an additional year when it carried over According to Duff, the fund will provide a S1 ,200 scholarship this fall to a good student who m ee ts the academic and need requirements.

Berry Duff '34 of Fort Collins,

Colo., along with his brothers and sisters, has established a memorial scholarship fund in the name of their mother, Mrs Ida M Duff, to provide financial support to a graduating senior from Sweetwater High School coming to college a t Texas Tech

"We wanted to honor our mother," Duff said . "She died in 1958 After moving to Lubbock in 1932, she ran a boarding house called the Tech Tavern on 9 th Street. She insisted we all get an edu catio n , so this memorial scholarship fund seemed an appropriate way to honor her."

Interested high school students should apply through their h igh school coun selor.

What would you like to see implemented. changed or improved at Tech: It is critical that our University d o a better job of telling the Texas Tech story.

B esides building winning basket· ' ball teams, Gerald Myers is taking up building bridges. The popular Red Raider basketball coach is chairing the Annual Fu nd for the University libraries, which has been named "Building Bridges to the 21st Century."

"I'm delighted to serve on the team," Myers said. " I can' t think of anything that is more important to Tech's future than the library. Besides supporting education and research, the library provides hours of pleasure to all Texas Tech peo· pie. This is a great opportunity for our alumni to invest in Tech's future "

The Annual Fund for the libraries, a first -ever effort, will focus on securing endowment funding for materials acquisitions

"This is a continuing need for the libraries and this will be a continuing source of funds," Myers said. "A goal of $30 ,000 has been set for this year. This will provide about $2,100 in income-not a lot, but it's a start . The longer-range goal is $1 million, which would be a good , solid base. "

The idea for the Annual Fund for the libraries grew out of a class gift by the Class of 1959, Myers' class , which later was named the jay Teel Dunlap Jr. Endowment Fund after the president of the class who died in 1964 The origi· nal class gift of $1,000 designated for library materials and its income will form the nucleus of the fu n d

"We're pairing the Class of 1959 and the Class of 1989," Myers said . "These two classes will have the first chance to support the Annual Fund. In future years, we will pair the class of 1960 with the class of 1990, and so on That's why it's

being 'Building . Bridges to · the 21st Century."'

Shayne Woodard, 1989 president of the Student Association, will serve as co chair and be the link with this year's graduating class. Each graduating senior and his or · her parents will be contacted and given the opportunity to support the Annual Fund, Woodard said "We think these people will be aware of the tremendous impor· · tance of the library in the process of education."

According to Dr. E. Dale Cluff, director of libraries, providing access to information is the area of greatest need for the libraries just now. "We have a fine physical plant, " Cluff said . "And we have made great progress in library technology and electronic retrieval over the last few years.

"But the cuts in funds for higher education have made it necessary for us to curtail purchases of materials, and we have had to cancel subscriptions to some professional periodicals. This is tragic, because faculty and students need these materials for their research and study."

Connie Hines, director of development for the University libraries, stated that professional jourrials and other scholarly materials are very expensive. "Our faculty are frustrated by the cuts," she said "They can't do their work Without resource materials That's why we decided to focus on materials acquisitions for our Annual Fund efforts."

Hines said the University libraries are also launching an "Adopt a Journal" program to encourage people to underwrite the cost of a particular journal or periodical.

"This will give individuals and organizations the chance to SU(} port the area of interest they 01 most about," she said. "For instance, I can see this as a pro; of a student professional or hon ary society."

Myers pointed out the impor· tance of information access to a cation "Texas Tech is saying thl is going to make an intense effa to attract the best students to tb campus, to recruit outstanding faculty, and to increase our research and graduate programs; Myers said "These are all quali ti of the best universities.

"The library is basic in this I effort," he continued, " because ! one of the first things a potentiJ faculty pers on looks at I've bean someone say that a library better than its university, but an , versity can be no better than its library."

"We in athletics are very aW3lf of how important teamwork is," : Myers said. "This fund will retlec that. We' re talking about buildill bridges between academics and: athletics, between graduating . classes, between alumni and Tet Tech. We want all Tech exes to . feel part of the effort This is a · chance for them to make a differ ence in the quality of Texas Ted

ENDANGERED SPECIES:

Are we the keepers or the takers?

By Margaret Houghton

ccording to the King james Bible, God made man on the sixth day of Creation. He told the first man and woman , "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth." (Genesis 1:28 ) .

Considering the effect of man's influence upon the earth, he appears to have misunderstood his directions about having dominion over it. Man was directed to subdue, not destroy. What he has done, in fact , is destroy some of the life that once called the earth its home.

If we usc the North American continent as a microcosm of the entire world, we can measure the effect of man 's influence on the wildlife. Before white men came to the continent, the woods and streams were teeming with fish and game. Explorers of the eastern seaboard wrote back to their home countries about the wonderful scenery and abundant wildlife they found in the New World. Since 1600, roughly about the time of the arrival of the colonists, several species of that "abundant wildlife" have become extinct. The Carolina par-.lkeet, the passenger pigeon and the California grizzly bear no longer have a place on this earth. A birch tree that grew only in Virginia has long since been extinct.

In modern times, there have been even more species destroyed Within the last 200 years, more than SO species of birds and 75 species of mmnmals have been lost, mostly as a result of human activity.

Dr. J. Knox jones, Hom Profes-

19119

sor of biological science and museum science at Texas Tech University, says there are many human activities which threaten either directly or indirectly the survival of animal and plant species worldwide. Directly, the destruction of a habitat through the pollution of streams, the destruction of forests, or the construction of human impoundments along with other relative activities disrupt the habitats of some animals and make those habitats unfit for the species to live in.

"Actual human hunting is a direct action which threatens animals," he said. "For example, the taking of spotted cats or the poaching of ivory which threatens the lives of these animals."

The greenhouse effect is a result of human activity which indirectly affects plants and animals. All of the pollutants and other extraneous material that humans add to the air combine together and form a barrier around the earth. This barrier holds in heat, raising the temperature of the air that surrounds the earth The warmth of the sun hits the barrier and intensifies the rise in temperature When this happens, the balance of life is threatened since the biomes of the world will be altered in some way. Many animals and plants cannot withstand drastic changes in their habitat , not to mention those animals which are not able to withstand warm temperatures, such as penguins.

The Endangered Species Act of 1973 was enacted for the purpose of protecting animals from activities such as these. The act provides for the listing of endangered, threa tened and rare species to let people know the status of these plants and animals. Restrictions are then placed upon the taking of plants

and animals and their transportation There are also provisions for the punishment of offenders of those violations, including incarceration, heavy fines and confiscation of equipment.

The list of endangered species is categorized into three classes. An "endangered" species faces the most serious threat of extinction and requires human intervention for its survival. "Threatened" species are those which are abundant but face serious dangers due to hunting and fishing, environmental changes and collecting, as is the case with the gray wolf Those animals which live in small popula tions in protected environments and are not decreasing in number are considered " rare" species. An example of a rare species is the Torrey pine in southern California. The list is updated periodically.

Plants and animals are put on the list through political means. Usually the Secretary of the Interior makes recommendations for the placement of a species on the list, and Congress approves it.

Three animals on the endangered species list-the California condor, the whooping crane and the black footed ferret-would be in serious danger in case of a catastrophic event. Species such as these need to be noticed because of their limited reproduction potential. They cannot reproduce fast enough to keep up with the die-off rate

"For all three , the number of liv ing individuals has dropped so low that they cannot be saved," jones said. "They lose the ability to respond to the environment."

Human intervention can be successful in some cases. The number of California gray whales once dropped to exceedingly low numbers. After becoming carefully

protected , their numbers rose to 15,000 . The sea otter along the Pacific coastline is another success story The protectio n of this species led to their reintroduction into the habitat where they originated . Some are doing quite well at this time .

Does this mean that California does a better job of protecting their endangered species?

"Not necessarily, " Jones said. "These animals are more easily protected because of the area they occupy."

·Compare that to the whooping crane This endangered bird demands a large nesting area which is sometj.mes not feasible in this highly developed world . Whooping cranes also stop at the

same places as th e sandhill cranes along their migration routes Since the sandhill crane is a game bird, the whooping crane is sometimes killed, mistaken for a sandhill crane by unwitting hunters Because of this, the whooping crane does not lend itself to easy protection.

"As a group, large marine mammals, for example great whales like the sperm, the white, and the California gray, are in danger," Jones said Most of the spotted cats are endangered through habitat des truction and the demand for furs. The rhinoceros is endangered, except for the African black.

"It is important to note that there are endangered plant species as well as animals, " he added. Many endangered species are

affected by social and economic pressures. For example, there was a recent incident concerning the construction of a dam on the Con cho River, which happens to be the only habitat for the Concho River water snake Many interest groups rose up in support of halt ing the construction. In Houston , the Houston toad held up the building of several massive shopping centers which would have affected the principal range of the toad. Another dam was temporarily stopped by the snail darter in Tennessee

According to Jones , what we need to do is find a balance between the needs of human society for raw materials and living space and the environmental need to protect threatened species.

"Every time we lose one," he said, "we lose our heritage We can no longer avail ourselves of the natural and aesthetic value of our world ."

Education is the key to protecting these species, he added. "Through education, people can grow to appreciate what is around them. They learn to see these things as cohabitants of the ecosyst e m as opposed to being intruders or being expendable ."

Other efforts include taking a compassionate view, informing oth ers, taking an active part and being vociferous advocates.

Interest groups which work toward the protection of the environment help to protect e ndangered and threatened species.

Most people are aware of the Audubon Society. Established in 1905, the Audubon Society is dedi cated to conserving wildlife, pro moting wise use of land, water and energy, and protecting life from many global environmental problems

Another such group is the Sierra Club. The Sierra Club may be con sidered th e "law firm of the envir onment. " Working through legisla tion and law suits, this advocacy group strives to preserve natural wildlife habitats as well as the lives of the plants and animals Successes of the Sierra Club include a lawsuit against the National Park

Without the thousands of animal spedes that populate the earth, the landcould project a starkness represented in this photo

Service to stop mining in Alaska's national parks and the saving of 100 "orcas" from capture by Sea World.

Currently, the Sierra Club is trying to save the Alaskan wilderness from oil drilling, placer mining and dearcutting Even though there is a 19 percent chance of finding oil within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, oil companies like Chevron and Exxon are taking a 100 percent chance of ruining the habitats of animals for the sake of trying to solve the problem of a "potential" world oil shortage, Sierra Club officials maintain Park administration professor Dr. James W " Bill" Kitchen is a member of the Sierra Club as well as a board trustee of the Texas Nature Conservancy.

"The Texas Nature Conservancy works quietly in a businesslike manner through land and protection of land where the Sierra Club works through laws and law suits," Kitchen said. "The Sierra Club is an advocacy group; the Nature Conservancy is not."

The Nature Conservancy is a volunteer-based, member-governed organization that works toward preserving natural and open lands. The six listed objectives of the Conservancy are to preserve natural areas and natural diversity, to preserve open land, to restore land , to learn how to preserve nature , to advance the cause of natural area preservation throughout the public and to work with other organiza tions in this cause The belief behind these objectives is that our ecm;ystem is being threatened by the possible extinctions of species. As every member of an ecosystem plays a vital role in the success of the ecosystem , when one member is threatened, every member is threatened A current project for the Nature Conservancy is the acquisition of land along the San Marcos River which is a critical habitat for the San Marcos gambusia, the San Marcos salamander, the Texas blind salamander, the fountain darter, the large spring gambusia, Hill Country wild mercury (plant species) and Texas wild rice (which occurs no place else)

Former Tech wildlife manage ment professor Dr Eric Bolen was a trustee of the Texas Committee on Natural Resources. This group has done good work in the area of protecting endangered species and stopping actions which threaten the habitat and lives of wildlife in Texas This past year, the TCONR got an injunction to stop clearcutting on 200,000 acres which serve as habitat for the endangered redcockaded woodpecker This group also aided in several successful wildlife habitat preservation efforts including land acquisition along the Neches River and mitigation at Cooper Lake State and federal governments are not blind to this effort either. State governments also draw up lists of endangered species to coincide with the federal list. A species may be endangered or threatened in one state, but it may have a vast range in other parts of the country. In Texas, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department administers wild life management areas as important habitats to keep some species from being preyed upon by humans and other predatory animals. There are also state natural areas throughout Texas for the protection of natural diversity

Along with the Texas Parks and Wtldlife Department, the General Land Office of Texas also protects species and their habitats. The General Land Office has initiated the Natural Heritage of Texas Program which identifies and protects endangered Texas flora

Other efforts include working Wlth TPWD to establish the Texas Coastal Preserves System and working with TPWD and the Nature Conservancy to acquire land on the coastal barrier along the northern portion of Matagorda Peninsula.

The federal agency whose main pwpose is to protect and conserve our wildlife is the U. S Fish and Wtldlife Service. Thro ugh the administration of a national wildlife refuge system, the Fish and Wtldlife Service gives endangered species just that-a refuge away from danger. Over 8 million acres of land and water offer these species a habitat in which they can exist peacefully. The Muleshoe National Wtldlife Refuge, for example, provides a resting place for the whooping crane along its migration route.

Another way the federal government tries to prevent the killing off of a species is through economic pressure. In this country it is not legal to import a pelt of an animal that is listed as endangered or threatened This places pressure on the countries where such animals are not protected. If the market for the pelts is closed, there is no reason to kill the animals It doesn't pay if no one will buy it. Also when ivory is purchased, there must be a voucher attached saying that the ivory used was brought into the country legally

Aldo Leopold wrote, "Harmony with land is like harmony with a .., friend ; you cannot cherish his right i= hand and chop off his left. That is to say, you cannot love game and hate predators; you cannot conserve the waters and waste the ranges: you cannot build the forest and the fann . The land is one orgarusm."

Indust:riJJJ poHution has taken its toH on animals and plant life, changing their envirollllJent beyond adaptabilJty.

What we do to the land and to the life that lives upon it will h . ave repercusstons whether we like it or not.

Tech grad harvests hope in New York City

'7 want to make a difference.''

-Helen VerDuin Palit

In an anonymous corporate meeting room, a score of smartly suited men and women pause for a luncheon break. They stand, stretch, leave to make urgent calls before the halfhour ends Few actually eat the sumptuous lunch laid out for them-the thick roast beef, hearty ham and cheese, and lean pastrami sandwiches remain. Even before the table is cleared, they return to their brainstorming Later that same evening in an anonymous shelter for the home less, scores of sadly dressed men and women wait for the evening meal. As the meal is served, they

Story and pictures by Bill Durham

welcome the sight of the sumptu ous dinner laid out for them-the thick roast beef, hearty ham and cheese, and lean pastrami sandwiches disappear quickly. What's right with this picture?

What's right is City Harvest, brainchild of Helen VerDuin Palit '78. A graduate of Tech's sociology program, Palit is founder and executive director of City Harvest, a non profit organization that oper ates on one very simple principle:

there is enough excess food in New York City to feed every hungry person who needs it City Harvest, like Robin Hood, practices the redistribution of wealth- in this case the wealth of excess food donated by large corporations, the photographic industry, the hotel industry, and restaurants on a daily basis. There is no need to store the food because everything that is donated becomes lunch or dinner for a hungry person that very day.

Palit, a "third-generation social worker," held a variety of jobs in such diverse fields as accounting, sign painting, restaurant work, and she even drove a truck in Lubbock,

yet always found time in her busy schedule to do volunteer work for Planned Parenthood , suicide hotlines and youth hotlines. Soon after graduating from Tech, she took a job running a soup kitchen in New Haven, Conn Located across the street was a restaurant.

"I remembered my experience of having worked in restaurants and how I hated having to throw out perfectly good food. It always upset me, but I never had an alternative to offer," she said.

Spurred on by these memories, Palit asked the restaurant manager what happened to the insides of the baked potatoes used to make potato skins, a popular appetizer.

When told that they were commonly thrown away, I told him, 'I'm feeding hungry people across the street , and how do you feel about giving me your potatoes?' Well the next day, his people carried over 25 gaUons "

Several weeks later, the manager also sent over 12 cheese quichesthe chef forgot to put in the ham. And suddenly, some of the 200 people the kitchen served every day had quiche in addition to the potato soup and bread

such a program After Palit affirmed the possibility, Councilman Stern sent out press releases announcing the service and donated SSOO of his own money to start things off Palit set herself up in an 8-by 10 room donated by the Children's Aid Society, and City Harvest was born. On the first day of her war on hunger in New York City she was armed with only a telephone and a Texas-sized helping of hope.

Palit smiles when she remem bers that first day. "I had no idea if the phone would ring at aU But the very first hour I got a canned food drive in Queens High School and a meat wholesaler who offered a thousand pounds of fresh beef

The third caU-still in that first hour-was from a gentleman who had just sold his business, and he happened to have two desks And there I was, sitting on an adult's chair, with a child's table I said yes to the offer

"The fourth caU was from a self employed carpenter who had a truck and wanted to drive for us.

He picked up the Queens food, and then he went and picked up the beef, which was top of the line. No fat. No bones. All of these calls

and bring a crowbar to render the statue into conveniently carryable pieces. No problem. The pieces ended up at drug rehabilitation centers, where certain kinds of treatment programs require that the residents take large amounts of sugar

"

I thought other restaurants might do this, too, " Palit said. "In the next couple of months I talked to all the different restaurants and retail food establishments in our immediate vicinity And before you know it, I had a gourmet soup kitchen "

When Palit moved to New York City in 1982, she immediately looked for a similar setup, and was amazed to find that no such service existed in a city that has such a large concentration of hungry people With the help of city council member Henry Stem, she investigated the feasibility of launching

came from the press release. And it hasn 't stopped. "

These days City Harvest is no longer a one person operation in a closet sized room The converted Chelsea loft that serves as its headquarters is bright with sunlight that streams in through the large windows. Palit' s staff of 16 can deal with any situation that arises during the course of a working day or night. A hotel once caUed City Harvest offering a 2 ,000 pound, 14feet high chocolate Statue of Uberty that had been a gift from France . The hotel stipulated that the driver must pick up at night

The nerve center of City Harvest is the dispatch desk, which coordinates the lines of communication between the drivers and the donors Although the office is con stantly busy, the operation is "not complicated at aU ," Palit said. "The only things we do are pick up and deliver. For example, New York City is filled with taxis A cabbie picks up a fare and takes it to some other point, lets the fare off, and picks up another fare We do the very same thing. But we organize it into specific routes Each truck covers a specific area of the city. One driver works the east side of Manhattan He starts picking up in Midtown in the morning and works his way up to Harlem by lunchtime Another driver picks up on WaU Street from the corporate cafeterias in that area, and he might swing over to Brooklyn before dinner time. "

Approximately 60 percent of each day's pickups are scheduled in advance; most of these are from

regular contributors such as corporations and restaurants. The remaining 40 percent of each day's pickups are called in while the trucks are rolling.

"Once we get the call alerting us to a pickup, we determine which driver is best able to do so. It depends on where the food is, how much space a driver has, and the type of food The day is just plotted and calculated hour by hour We have no idea exactly what's going to happen ; we just make educated guesses . And fortunately I have a team that rolls with the punches."

Not all of the food donations come from restaurants and cafeterias. One of the most unusual sources of excess but edible food is the photographic industry. Because New York City is the hub of the country's advertising business, many of the city's commercial agencies are called on to sift through huge volumes of food in search of the most photogenic Swiss cheese or ripest strawberry for a shot

On one occasion, more than 200 cases of chicken parts were rejected before finding the perfect piece needed for a successful shot. If not for City Harvest, the extra chicken would in all likelihood have been thrown away.

''We work with anybody who has food ," Palit said. ''Whether it's a photographer, a cafeteria, a farmer with an excess crop of potatoes. Maybe it rained or snowed on a particular day, or for whatever reason, a restaurant doesn't do the business that it had planned for. That's when they call us."

And though it has the highest priority, food isn't the only thing that City Harvest is called upon to redistribute. One Christmas a cos metic company had 100 teddy bears delivered to several child ren's shelters When the Gracie Mansion kitchen was remodeled, the Mayor's office donated the stoves and other equipment to City Harvest. Palit knew of a homeless shelter which was building a kitchen and was able to deliver the equipment. City Harvest has even provided the gift of music by delivering pianos.

City Harvest is funded entirely by donations. It costs the organization 34 cents to deliver enough food for one meal for one person. But even this is not good enough for Helen VerDuin Palit's standards. Last year, she was able to deliver 59 percent more food than the previous year with only a 41 percent increase in cost by hiring an operations director with a back-

ground in supermarket trucking and a delivery supervisor with experience in the bus and ambulance industries

"The bottom line is that we are able to accept everything that 's offered to us," Palit said . ' 'We pro vided for almost two million meals last year. In 1988 we delivered twice the food we did the year before, and that year was double the volume of the year before that. We've delivered enough food to provide seven million meals in seven years."

No downward swing is projected, for the number of hungry and homeless is growing each year " In 1981 , there were 50 soup kitchens in New York City In January of 1988, there were 500 And as of September 1988, there were 570 . The need for food in this city is incredible; it just keeps growing. And yet the federal government tells us that 20 percent of the food produced each year in this country goes to waste.

"The saddest thing is that two groups of hungry folks that are growing fastest are the elderly and infants. What kind of life can you expect in this city if you're hungry when you ' re starting out in life , and hungry when you're finishing it? I think it' s important to let people know what we' re doing and what they can do to help I really believe in the goodness of people."

Palit is helping to bridge the gap between the haves and the haveoats. It is fortunate for the thousands of hungry people in New York City that when confronted with a problem, instead of shrugging her shoulders and turning away, she said, " I want to make a difference " It is a step that anyone can take. Before you curse the darkness, light a candle-and think of Texas Tech-ex Helen VerDuin Palit and City Harvest.

The field of financial planning has experienced rapid growth on college campuses lh:e late 1970s. Academicians recognized an ed ucatio nal vacuum in an area that developmg mt? a significant occupational field. Early practitioners were converts from msurance investment houses, accounting practices, law firms and other related fields. Educational experiences were based on corporate development programs or private institutions such as the College for Financial Planning or the American College.

But that has changed now, and Texas Tech University is at the forefront of development m the financial planning arena. One of only two programs located in a college of home economics in the States to have IBCFP accreditation, the Tech program is also one of only two in the country accredited at both the bachelor's and master's levels It is the first major college program to implement a student chapter of the IAFP professional organization, and the program was featured in an article in Financial Planning New_s (,a monthly publication with a readership of 25,000 ). What's so important about all this is the program 1sn t even two years old yet.

The national recognition of the new Tech major has been documented during the last year in several professional publications ; by the fact that the Association for Financial Counseling and Planning Educators held their n ational meeting in Lubbock last October; and by the growing number of Tech students declaring their major in family financial planning

One of the people behind this overnight success is the program's director, Dr A. William Gustafson, who, in the following interview, discusses the professional field , the Texas Tech program he helped develop, and the fact that although many exciting things are happening related to it, the road to recognition hasn't been-nor does it promise to be-without its barriers.

Family Financial Planning Gaining Interest

By Marsha Gustafson

A.

Financial planning is a part of the overall finan cial services industry. It deals with providing a com prehensive approach to an individual's or family's financial well-being through a coordinated evaluation of their goals and objectives, both qualitative and quantitative; their risk-management nee ds; their invest ment objectives and tax situation; retireme nt and employee benefits; estate planning nee ds; and developing a financial plan to reach those goals

0. What is the primary difference between a CertiFinancial Planner and some of the other professional people who do planning related work?

A. Typically, a financial planner takes a broader view of a family's financial situation than a stock broker who deals mainly with the investments of a family, or an insurance agent who deals with the risk management of a family, or a CPA who deals with the taxes

There are three types of financial planners: a fee based planner, who goes over the different areas I've mentioned to provide a coordinated plan; a commis sion based planner, who develops a plan and makes

reco mmendations through providing the products that actually implement it; and the other group is a combi· nation of the two.

• What, most likely, are clients of financial planners seeking? Financial security, return on investments, tax shelters?

A.Typically, people who go to a planner are look ing for long term financial security H you enjoy the kick and thrill associated with the stock market that is , making a quick kill , I don't know too many people who use a financial planner and do a lot of market timing or spec ulation in commodities futures It's just not the kind of orientation a planner gives a client A financial planner likes to look at long term economic well-being.

Q. What is a con ceivable yearly income one might recognize as a financial planner?

A. Several academic studies have suggested that for those people out in the marketplace who have established a good practice, typically, S50,000 to SlOO,OOO a year is not out of reach at all.

A recent issue of Money magazine that looked at the future of careers, in fact , said " The most successful

Q. Would you give me a simple definition of what financial planning is?

Q

self-employed financial planners will continue to earn well over $100,000 . .. Evolving certification and regulatory standards will force planners to take ongoing education classes to stay in business. "

Q. Can you give me a typical scenario of a planner/ client conversation and then what might be suggested?

A. There is no one typical conversation It depends on the planner. Some may have the client fill out informational forms and mail them in before coming in to the office. An analysis can be prepared, then when the client comes in for the appointment, the planner can ask pointed questions about financial goals and where you are financially.

· Other planners prefer the client to come in and talk about goals first. Then they give you forms to fill out to collect the quantitative data, like 'What do your insurance policies look like now?', 'What were your cix returns for the last two or three years?' and 'What kind of investments do you have (like a house, for instance)?'

A planner might ask the client to bring in a copy of his·or her retirement program and discuss where they stand with that And then the planner will do an analysis of all those things and begin to look at where you're going, particularly in light of the goals the client says he or she wants to accomplish.

Q. How do I know I'm choosing a reputable planner? Is there something that sets some apart from others?

A. There are many arguments about how to choose a reputable planner. Some say don't choose one that's commission-based, that they're just there to sell you a product. One of the things you have to remember as a client about any type of planner is you'll only get to cheat people or do a bad job one time. The word will get around quickly if a planner does something illegal or unethical

One thing I'd look at is what kind of educational background do they have, do they have training in related fields , and then I'd look at if they are involved in things that require a license, do they have the appropriate licenses? For instance, if they are recommending real estate plans, have they had experience in real estate? What kind of background have they had? And then look at any certifications or designations they have.

Q. Financial planning is a relatively new. field for uruversities What types of college preparatton are available at this time?

A. In the past, people who went into financial planning may have had a business degree in finance or accounting or a degree in ag economics or something related to dealing with financial matters or financial "affairs then worked their way into the planning profession.

What's happened recently is we're seeing an actual

effort to put financial planning or financial services information into bachelor' s and master's degree programs in major universities across the nation.

Q. As a financial planner, which sort of graduate would I most likely be interested in to hire?

A. The Industry Education Forum we had at the national meeting of the International Association for Financial Planning (IAFP) the last couple of years has provided us the opportunity to see employer responses to different kinds of academic training. It was very clear this time at the New York City meeting. When the employers got up to make their presentation, two of them very specifically deemphasized only highly technical business skills-they certainly wanted technical understanding of what's in financial planning-but they said the key things they found to be important in success in their particular firms are people skills In other words the ability to communicate, establish trust with people, and present a friendly demeanor-things they thought were very important in the academic preparation of future employees

It was interesting that the other two employers wanted a highly technical BA approach, so I think it points out in the marketplace right now, there are a whole variety of ' wants' in terms of what employers are hoping to hire.

There are two approaches to financial planning preparation- the family sciences approach and the BA approach The business school programs generally do not require many family courses. Theirs is an allbusiness approach. The home economics approach has students take courses in family sciences, some of the technical courses in the business area, and financial planning courses in the family financial planning department.

Q. Tech's is the only accredited family financial planning program in a college of home economics in the U.S., is it not?

A. No. There is one other program at Purdue Uni-

vcrsity Theirs is acc redited but they don't have as coordinated a program with the College of Business Administration as we do here That's a tribute to the cooperative attitude we see o n the Tech campus We' re the only financial planning program in Texas that has IBCFP accreditation at both the bachelor's and master's levels

year before they go out on their internship

The entire semester is done through case studies where they actually prepare for, some cases , real clients and m other mstances clients out of case study materials we've developed over a period of time. The students use the computer and financial planning software that was donated to the program .

The coursework leads to what degree?

A. The bachelor of science and master of science in family financial planning These are residence programs There is no correspondence , and there is no certificate

How does the program prepare students for certification?

A. When our students graduate, they're eligible to sit for the Certified Financial Planner exam There are six parts to it which lead to the CFP. In addition, individuals may also take various other professional licens ing tests leading to a securities license or insurance license But one doesn 't have to have a degree from our program to take those.

• In what professional areas are your graduates wo rking currently?

A. One of our former students is with an insurance company -not in sales but in the claims settlement area. Another is with the mortgage department of a major bank here in Texas, plus we have people who 've already gone into the financial services industry itself, and one in law school here at Tech.

• Describe your own program at Texas Tech , to give us an example of what kind of preparation is required.

A. Academic preparation includes the University's general education core plus the College of Home Economics' core, two college calculus classes, two courses in BA accounting, principles in micro and macro economics, then specific courses relating to the financial planning program itself

A. Most colleges across the U.S. don't have the intensive internship program that we do. But our students are required to take an internship where th ey actually go out into the marketplace and are involved in working with someone in a practice. They'll put in at least 100 hours with a practicing professional. We have internships that are available in Amarillo, Lub bock, Dallas and Houston. We've had calls for our student interns from as far away as Washington, D.C. In addition to the internship program, we have a capstone course that makes us fairly unique Only a few colleges of business administration have it in their financial planning programs It culminates their senior

• You've been getting national publicity for Texas Tech and the family financial planning program during recent months. What sets this program apart from others?

A.

from our internship and capstone course

1This is the most unique program in the college when you consider that only one other program in the United States is accredited at the bachelor's and master's levels, and that's the College of Business Administration at San Diego State. There is only one other home economics program in the U.S. which is accredited at all!"

opportunities, we have some people who are recog· nlzed as national leaders and pioneers in the financial planning field who've helped us get the program going to th e level it is now People like Lee Pennington and Mark Bass, who've held national offices at the very top of the financial planning field in several different organizations, are right here in town. They each have spoken to our student chapter and have been very go od about hosting professionals

For instance, they hosted the AFCPE group which held its national meeting in October in Lubbock. Mark and Lee had meeting participants at their office, the national headquarters for Pennington / Bass, for a tour Other professionals in town have also been help· ful. Several investment firms have been eager to pro· vide internship experiences for our students.

There has been a variety of professional support from the financial services community in Lubbock and throughout West Texas, and it's been outstanding

Q. It would be great to think that all is well in your world, but success is usually not without some difficulties. What have been or are some of your big· gest problems?

:A. As with any state university, there are a number .of things we could do better with more resources. I'm no t just talking about money, but that would be a great help. My biggest problem is how to attract quali· fled , competent faculty who have professional certifi· cation. Salary considerations are the real problem here-if one is highly qualified in the field , finding a competitive salary in a university is not an easy task. We might even say it's impossible unless we obtain more support at the college level

It takes a special kind of person who'll say, 'I don' t want to make $100,000 I'd rather make much less and be a faculty person.' Faculty get approached all the time by industry to come to work with them, myself included. There are a lot of temptations to leave the university. To stay, you really have to love

the academic atmosphere, and that love can diminish over a period of time when the problems pile up with no support in sight. We can only pull off so many mir· acles I've been very fortunate to have people like Dr Frank Imke (now head of accounting at the University of Texas Permian Basin) and Bob Barnhill (BBA, MBA, JD) to teach on a part time basis.

Q. What are some of the positive things going for you as the program grows?

A. The publicity we've been receiving has brought considerable interest from good, academically quali· fled students. Growth of the program is very good .

Also, Nick Harrison, who is with the New England Co ., came to me recently saying he is very interested in obtaining our students for internships and actually going to work for their company. It's the sort of thing that happened with Pennington/ Bass. They've used our students as interns, then in some cases have actu· ally created positions for them upon graduation rather than lose them

It's really reassuring to see students come out of our program and all of them getting good jobs and having real career opportunities put in front of them

Q • What are your goals for the future?

A. First of all, I have to secure additional faculty to help us , because we have to meet accrediting standards by a group that reviews us every year to see that we're staying up with changes in the field. For that to occur, we have to have goo d, qualified faculty to educate the growing numbers of students in our major and our graduate program

I simply can' t-and won' t-recruit a large number of majors unless I can deliver quality instruction Any academician with any integrity would say the same thing.

Besides the additional faculty, I'd like to obtain some different types of professional financial planning software so our students can have that exposure when doing their plans One of the main programs we use now was donated to us by TaxCalc Corp in Fort Worth

On a personal level , I've been studying for designations available in the financial planning field. I already have a B.S. and M.S. in ag economics and a Ph.D in family and consumption economics, but I think designations that are recognized by practicing professionals are also important for college faculty members to possess. Just like accounting programs in various universities prefer, and sometimes require, their faculty to hold the CPA I think that' s reasonable for any area of academia.

And then there were 10 Grover E. Murray (1966-1976)

By James G. Allen

If we could line up all of the 10

Texas Tech presidents and ask a stranger to pick o ut the one who did not belong in the group, he would have no trouble in pointing to the one with the bow-tie as the maverick. A lumberjack, or a forest ranger, or even a wildcat oil man, but n o t th e president o f a university Husky and wholesome, smiling and direct of gaze, with the posture of an outdoorsman, Grover Murray seemed out of place on a col lege campus, even in his office sue rounded by the trophies he had collected on his many travels

When we learned that the vice president for academic affairs at Louisiana State University, his Ph.D. in geology, would be o ur next president, we were a bit unhappy with o ur prospects As we heard more and more, o ur concern grew greater and greater

That as an undergraduate he had worked his way through in the univer sity cafeteria did not sound too bad That h e had married a college beauty and cheerleader fit easily into the Horatio Alger rerun But that h e regularly served, and would continue to serve, as a con sultant for oil exp loration, both in this country and abroad, seemed to have the aura of a too highly specialized interest and experience. It did not promise an administrator who would work well in group deliberation and decision, the way Texas Tech had learned to solve its poliq problems. That he contracted his specialized ser vi c es o n the basis of a percent of the yield rather than for a fixed fee cinched it He would likely have diffic ulty with the increasing intricacies of s tate allocations to higher educ;ation which Texas Tech faced Somehow it all sounded temporary.

We learned early that he was willing to do the whole job, that h e expected to give fully and completely of his time and ability to the opportunity that Texas Tech offered him as president

Immediately after comi ng o n campus, President Murray let everyone know that he was in charge, that he

was not disposed to delegate any of what he conceived to be the presi dent's responsibility, that he held him self responsible for the whole assignment. Only time would convince him that it had grown too large for one man, any man, to do Obviously both his self-confidence and his feeling of obligation were involved It would be an interesting, if difficult, transition for both a colleg e that was becoming a university and its president to make

The first step in his accommodation c ame e arly Not too long after h e reached the campus he installed as his office assistant a woman from Australia who served as his buffer She gave most of the round answers for him . Only the most complex questions were sifted out for later consultati on with the president.

The purpose of our conferences always seemed to be a sutprise to him, to be somethi ng of an interruption of his apparent preoccupation with whatever it was that would hurry him out side, and probably off campus, shortly

We reac hed answers quickly, I felt a lit tle too quickly. His replies to my questions were always immediate and direct. He rarely r esponded when I offered to explore with him possible

ramifications of the problem that might have escaped him.

1 finally concluded what my proce dure should be with this busy presi dent, who clearly felt that be should carry the whole load. I would arrive at my own answer to the problem and proceed accordingly until be raised the question with me, which be usually never did With so many other things a developing university demanded atten tion for, he soon began to find he could not do it all.

And he was consistent He respected the answers his fellow administrators gave in their assigned areas. By nature a fighter, when anyone challenged him as president over what the dean of stu dent life was doing, Grover Murray would instinctively defend, would rise to the challenge Then when be got around to discussing the matter with me, and that might be much delayed , the answer I had given to the problem usually would have taken on positive quality It might have been that b e would have been so conditioned by his original reaction to the challenge that my ultimate explanation came as co n finnation of his initial stand. I learned early that to work with President Mur ray and to earn his respect, I should raise as few questions as possible , give immediate and succinct answers to any inquiries he directed to me and defend them firmly.

It does not serve to assume that more of significance happened to Texas Tech under President Murray because his 10 year tenure was th e longest But even the most superficial observer would have noted that much was happening on Texas Tech 's campus that decade The 17 buildings added during his regime, the most obvio us evidence of the Sl30 millions he directed the spending of in an unprecedented physical expansion were the tangible expression of the tremendous growth of Texas Tech during his presidency They were the outward expression of the inner development that the college was making in its

Grover Murray

transition to the status of university

Of major importance organization wise were the additions of the law school, highly successful and effected with relative ease; and of the school of education, whose slow and undramatic growth had finally justified the change in status it had for some time aspired to Texas Tech grew as an institution during the Murray presidency, its expansion placing a strain on what was fast becoming an inadequate administrative structure.

It was the addition of the school of medicine, beset from the first with administrative confusion and directional conflict, that tipped the scales, that made the work load of the presi dent too complex, too heavy, too demanding Almost immediately the dean of the new med school began making budget requests that exceeded all previous expectations, that seem even now, in retrospect, out of all proportion True to form, Dr Murray supported the dean in his conflict with the board of regents. Refusal of either side to capitulate or compromise adequately brought matters to a head The man of quick yes-or-no decisions had a primary one to make He resigned hls presidency of Texas Tech as of the end of the 1975-76 academic year. There was a hint of duress

When at first the operation of Texas Tech began to grow disproportionately, the increasing administrative complexities seemed tailored to go with Presi dent Murray's disposition to get things done immediately, with dispatch That

Arid and Semi-Arid lands Studies, pop ularly called ICASALS. Its announced purpose of applying all know-how to problems growing out of water scarcity represented an extension into as yet unexplored international resources With global implications, this program was conceived as a higher education project of top level. With a potential limited only by our capacity to interpret and adapt, and of course to secure the funds necessary for its implementation, ICASALS offered Texas Tech the opportunity to achieve major prestige. Dr. Murray is the only one of our presi dents to have provided us a blueprint for international distinction, one of such proportions as to draw fully on the resources of Texas Tech. With it hls worldwide contacts opened up for this university possibilities for unparal leled preeminence.

Texas Tech's development and Lub bock's simultaneous growth resulted in inescapable complications, unfortunate since public relations was not one of Grover Murray's major talents Adapted as was hls manner for doing business in the marts of trade, hls aggressive pursuance of Texas Tech's best inter ests soon ran counte r to the needs of an expanding Lubbock.

As I understood it, the city fathers wanted some 14 feet off the east side of the campus for the widening of University Avenue They also requested space for a six lane highway through the campus as an extension of Indiana Avenue from 19th to Fourth Street. With the University's building expan- ·

now that both were right or to conjecture on how much of the bad feelings generated could have been avoided with a more tactful handling by either side. What was evident was that Texas Tech's relationship with Lubbock rut an all-time low This was the price Dr Murray elected to pay when he saw what the future of Texas Tech necessitated It was at this point that we knew, for sure, how deep hls allegiance to Texas Tech had become

During the first nine years of Dr Murray's presidency, Texas Tech grew from a sizeable regional college into a major multi purposed university, its administration reaching such propor tions as to call for a disproportionate amount of one administrator's time Its demands had become so full, the presi dent said, that he was neglecting hls family. It was quite believable, too, that with his steadily increasing duties as president he had less time than he wanted not only for hls personal but for hls other professional responsibilities

I became symptomatically the victim of the strain a growing Texas Tech was placing on its president. At the end of the four-year period in which I taught full time after retiring as dean of student life in 1968 , I received a Standard Oil of Indiana Distinguished Teaching Award In my opinion the finest professional honor ever paid me, it came at the end of a 44-year career at Texas Tech for the function that I valued most highly When I became dean of men in 1937, the first year on a provisional basis at my insistence, I had continued teaching one course each regular semester, preparations and grading on my own time , without remunera tion of course. Through the years that one class served as a professional lifeline

finally the challenge should turn o ut to be more than he had, or for that mat ter anyone else had, anticipated was not necessarily the result of hls lack of judgment. It was more that before he came to Texas Tech as its eighth presi dent he had not yet learned that there were limits o n his administrative skills Or just how much a I 0-year presidency could reasonably be expected to hold Seen from this distance, it may have been hls greatest achievement to have initiated the International Center for

sion in effect having greatly shrunk the campus, the prospect of the loss of each acre had begun to take on monu mental significance. President Murray's characteristically definitive refusal to accede to both of these requests reflected the consensus of on campus thinking. Unfortunately it resulted in a wave of resentment in the community, which understandably felt that its many kinds of cooperation with Texas Tech over the years merited occasional reciprocation It is pointless to note

My three to four o'clock afternoon class kept me from attending the annual spring faculty meeting that year As I left the classroom the afternoon the faculty meeting was scheduled, I was challenged by a fellow department member for not having been at the meeting to receive my award. Surprised and pleased when I learned what it was, on further reflection I became concerned that I had not been alerted so that I might have made the special arrangements that would have permitted me to be present. The more I thought about it the more difficult it was for me to accept such lack of understanding by the president, who was master of ceremonies, of how much being present for the awarding of such an honor would mean to any

faculty member, and under the circumstances, particularly to me. I thought of how Clifford jones or Bill Whybum or Bob Goodwin, or even Dossie Wiggins presidents of the smaller college Texas Tech was during their regimes would have handled it Texas Tech University obviously had become too large for the personal factor to compete with the greater demands it was now placing on its president

And there was other evidence that though we were gaining much, we were losing some. It came as a minor shock, though understandable too, that when he became president, Dr. Goodwin had continued to live off campus, in the home he had owned and occupied for years. But when we learned that the Murrays were not going to live on campus but in a house on 19th Street which the college had bought for them, the price we were beginning to pay for moving up to university status became a little clearer. We were being called on to sacrifice one more Texas Tech tradition, that of the president's serving as the official on-campus host on a number of annual occasions. Both the Texas Tech student body and its faculty had become too large for the president's home to accommodate it for traditional events. Now an official open house at the Murrays could be mainly for smaller groups, such as the board of regents.

When in 1951 a special professorship, our first of the kind, had been set up, with what was for us then a very high salary, it was the understanding that it was to bring distinguished scholars to Texas Tech. Even though it was short-lived, with it we felt we were finally beginning to reach university

status. The appointment of a nationally recognized professor of history initiated this program with exactly the distinction for which we had been led to believe it had been created

In early 1972 the board of regents approved the establishment of the category of University Professor, the criteria for which assumed a broader base than that of a single department, justifying it by noting that Texas Tech was developing and attracting distinguished educators. The announced expectancy was that appointments of University Professors would be few in number and important in quality. When less than five years later Dr. Murray retired, he became a University Professor His status as a geologist of worldwide recognition for highly diversified and specialized application of his oil exploration know-how obviously qualified him for the assignment.

What surprised many of us was the decision to remain at Texas Tech in Lubbock that his acceptance of the appointment revealed. We knew that the status and salary of the professorship was not the basis of his decision, what with the alternatives he must have had. Not popular in the sense that Dossie Wiggins or Bob Goodwin had been, most would have assumed that he would not elect to remain here, that he would have chosen to return to Louisiana or to move to some point globally central to his other profes sional performance And as the quietness of his continuance here became established there could only be one explanation. Grover Murray as professor and citizen of Lubbock had finally found the home he had been unconsciously searching for. Whatever others

might think, he had come to feel that he belonged here, that he wanted to stay here. What at first may have been a temporary residence had become a permanentone. _

I remember the inauguratiOn of President Murray well. A much more elaborate affair than that of any of his predecessors the number of official and the pomp and cir cumstance of the occasion beyond anything of the son that we had ever known.

As might have been expected, th.e delegation from Louisiana Uruversity was considerable, most of 1ts _ number reflecting the son of spec1al affinity with our new president as would explain their presence. What was remarkable , I found, was the kind of interest they showed in the affilir, a surprised and even amused interest, perhaps that one of them would have made it to the big top, to the center ring of the circus that the oil profession had introduced into our circumstance Little could they, or could we, have predicted what growth and development would come both to him and to the college he would bring to uni versity status during the next 10 years. Few would have guessed that his would be the longest tenure of all or that it would encompass maximum expansion for Texas Tech, or that after his retirement he would elect to remain here

What was clear was that Dr. Murray, probably to his and certainly to our surprise, had become fully identified with Texas Tech, had reached the point that Lubbock was of primary importance to him.

In many ways, and not just in the more obvious physical way, much good had happened to Texas Tech during the Murray administration. Certainly the additions of the law school and the school of medicine were major steps in the development of the university Texas Tech had become during his presidency. And what do we have that is more distinctive than ICASALS, which with its global implications brings to Texas Tech international attention and respect.

Grover Murray thought big for Texas Tech direction his planning took B1g, fast, and immediate. No other president of Texas Tech imparted to it more fully and completely the disof his own personality

B1g, fast , and immediate. With all that attended, both good and bad.

With bow-tie.

TEXAS TECH IN RETROSPECT

A Rich Architectural Heritage

By Janet Neugebauer

On Aug 6, 1923, the Texas Tech Board of Directors met to select a leader and a symbolic identity for the new college. Dr. Paul WHom was appointed to the office of president and "the old Spanish type of architecture was selected because it fitted best into the southwestern history."

·

· The team chosen to design and construct the buildings consisted of William Ward Watkin, founder of the School of Architecture at The Rice Institute in Houston; Sanguinet, Staats, and Hedrick, one of the largest architectural firms in Texas; and L.W. Robert and Co. of Atlanta, Ga.

Buildings were designed not only to be functional entities, but to inspire those who see them day

after day, to become an extension of the educational process Architectural embellishments, that admonish the viewer to love demo-

cracy, morality and to emulate the achievements of the past, have become a symbolic language for Texas Tech.

Perhaps the linest detaiJJng on any of the original bulldin.gs is foUtJd on the Textile Engineering Bulldin.g. carrying out the Spanish mission theme, the carved opening in the top level resembles windows in the historic San jose Mission in San Alltonio. Reflecting West Texas' agricu1tural economy, cotton bales were placed in the niches that are traditionally reserved on mission facades for statues of patron saints.

The cupids and J1nials on the Electrical Engineering Bulldin.g are patterned after the traditional decorative Spanish cresting motif. The cupids bold shields with carvings that are symbolic of architectural, electrical, cJvil and mechanical engineering.

"We wanted to present Willard with a gift literally grown in West Texas," said James Parker, director of the TRC. "Our Texcellana fabric was the perfect am;wer."

The name Texcellana was derived from Tex (Texas), eel (cellulosecotton) and lana (the Sparush word for wool) . The fabric , a blend of 75 per· cent West Texas cotton and 25 percent Del Rio wool , and originally woven into a denim, is also available for use in 1oweaters and ladies garments

The 1988 football season also marked the appearance of Raider Red's new o utfit . The head, constructed of foam rubber, is light weight and easier to wear than the old one. Donations for the new outfit funded the entire project, which amounted to some Sl ,700

The Saddle Tramps are also proud to be the first organization to kic k off the Student Endowment Fund Scholarship with a donation of SS,OOO. This fund has long been a goal of the Student Association, and a scholarship of S200 will be awarded in the Saddle Tramps'

The statue will depict the Masked Rider riding in full stride with the reins in his mouth and his "guns" in the air.

Partners, brothers and friends describes the

relationship between two members of the Texas Tech architecture faculty Associate professor john White his identical twin Professor james White have been known to cause c o nfusion among students and faculty on more than one occasion.

Jim serves as coordinator and profes· sor for second-year design students john is a c oordinator and professor for first· and third-year design s tudents.

"As counselors, the freshmen get us confused occasionally," Jim said. "Sometimes a student will come up to me and start discussing a project and then realize that he 's got the wrong Professor White," John said

Despite their similarities, .their pur·. suits in architecture are vaned john IS working to develop self-help h ousing programs for low-inc ome people around the world. He also is research· ing programs to improve day c are and h e alth care facilities and has proposed several housing projects fo r China

Jim 's focus is on the hist o ry and preservation of architecture He is involved in a three year architectural ideas exchange program with the Uni· versity of Guanajuato in Mexico

The brothers are not limited to interests they share as pro fessors They also are developers and owners of White Associates, a limited private practice in Lubbock s pecializing in architecture and planning for homes and commercial businesses. Before forming White Associates, they oper·

ated a rulHime private practice in Odessa. th

"We have always worked toge er, ld like to believe that smceand I wou hew has also chosen to go mto our nep · · architecture, we have been a positive influence," John said The fact that John and Jim live only five away from each other only seals therr d ose relationship.

Playwright Thomas Jones published both

"A Circle on the Cross" and "The Wall Inside " under the name Thomas Cadwaleder Jones

Cadwaleder is not his real rruddle name , but what's a fellow to do when he already shares a name- Tom Jones-with a well-known novel, movie, singer and playwright?

Jones recalled, "I think I about 20 years old when one of my mstruc· to rs asked me if I knew I had a very famous name I said, 'Yes, and someday I'm going to write a play and call it 'Henry Fielding. "'

The Tech theater professor was mak· ing a reference to the fact that Henry Fielding had in 1749 written a bawdy novel about an 18th century playboy called "Tom Jones," which was trans· formed into an Academy Award· winning motion picture in 1963

There followed a great deal of inter· national interest in a Welsh singer named Tom jones, and another Tom Jones had made his name off-Broadway for writing the long-running hit musi· cal "The Fantastics. "

"It gets stranger," Jones said

"Back in either 1970 or 1971 , I was walking with my ex-wife my brother-in-law and we were trying to come up with a name that nobody else would use. And we came up with what we thought was the perfect name: Bar· naby Jones."

"I'm not making that up You could ask my ex-wife ." Television fans of course realize that Buddy Ebsen made a popular character out of private detective Barnaby Jones on CBS from .., 197 3 through 1975.

After joining Dramatists Guild in 1985 , Jones definitely needed to make ; a serious decision about a professional name " I had named my first personal computer Cadwaleder. It's an authentic Welsh name and so I began writing under Thomas Cadwaleder Jones.

" Even after I did that, though, I

entered a playwriting contest and, when I asked the organizers to return my script, they mistakenly sent me a play which had been written by a man named Thomas Caleb Jones That's not Cadwaleder, but it sure was surprisingly close."

Oh yes. By now you're probably wondering what Tech professor Thomas Jones ' real middle name is. " It's Ray," he laughed, "but I thought Cadwaleder would be safer. " (By William D. Kerns, Lubbock

Stephan Ruscheweyh, an internationally known mathematics professor, brought his knowledge to Tech in early November as part of the : Ex-Students Association's Distinguished Visiting Professorship.

· Ruscheweyh, who is a joint professor at the Universitat Wortzburg in Germany and the Universidad Technica Federico Santa Maria in Chile, was responsible for solving a mathematical problem that had eluded other mathematicians since the 1950s.

Ruscheweyh was one of a series of math professors to be hosted by the departm e nt. In early Dece mber, mathematics faculty selected Dr Clyde F. Martin as the first full-time, on-faculty Ex-Students Association Distinguished Professor His appointment is effective Sept. 1, 1989.

Martin is an outstanding researcher

The topics covered were: "The Motives of Male and Female College Students for Regular Exercise," "Sex Role Images of Female Athletes in Various Sports," "Sexist Research Methods in Exercise Physiology," "Cognitive Impressio ns of Women Athletes: The Status of Knowledge," and "Androgy nous behavior among football players and gymnasts."

Women's participation in athletic activity has been viewed as a challenge or denial of women's femininity, Hall said. Women were barted from partici pating in the ancient Olympics and were not allowed to compete in the modem Olympics until 1900. Women also were no t allowed to participate in the Olympic marathon until 1984, she said.

Burnett likened Gorbachev's glasnost policies to political changes in 1917 that paved the way for Russian social revolution in 1928. "There may be some hard times to go through Gorba· chev must raise prices There are too many subsidies. He may encounter some real opposition from the people

''You may see the Ronald Reagan question applied to Gorbachev. 'Are you better off than you were three years ago?"' he said

For Eastern Europe, acco rding to Burnett , today's Soviet reforms mirror de Stalinization of the late 1950s that set off unrest in East Germany, Poland and Hungary.

"This is a real period of transition for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. There always has been more experimentation in Eastern Europe Yugosla via has a mixed economy with some capitalistic marketing, but it is suffering from inflation ."

The Soviet Union, Burnett said, soon may be thrown into turmoil similar to that in Yugoslavia and Poland as Gorba· chev experiments with capitalistic modifications

Couples involved in abusive relationships

can get free c ounseling through the Abusive Families Project, a research program of the Texas Tec h psychology department.

The research project focuses o n understanding abusive relationships and identifying successful treatment programs, said psychology Professor Kim Faulkner, project director

The program is funded by a grant from the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health "We want to know whether group, individual or marital treatment is best and what combination of treat· ments is best," Faulkner said

The program begins with 16 sessions of group counseling in which men and women meet separately twic e a week for eight weeks Following th e group experience, couples receive 16 sessions of marital counseling. The final phase of treatment is 16 sessions of individual counseling.

Counselors are doctoral psycho logy students who are under the supervision of Faulkner, a licensed psychologist. Participants can continue to receive counseling after the formal treatment program

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

carl Stem

For the past eight years, Dean Carl Stem

of Tech's College of Business Adminis· tration has taught a short module on the role of ethics in business in the college's freshman·levellntroduction to Business course

While Stem feels that in most cases, the great substance of a person's own ethical standards has been formed by the time he or she reaches the age of 18 or 19, he believes it is important that faculty bring the matter of ethic s explicitly to the attention of students as they begin college

"First, I believe it is important that we communicate right up front t o our students what the University and col· lege expect of them in their own ethi· cal conduct," Stem said ''We need to let them know that we have high expectations of them in ethical mat· ters, that by our code of student con· duct, cheating, plagiarism and any other dishonest conduct is considered

wrong and will be appropriately dealt with."

"Secondly," he continued , "I try to sensitize our students to business ethics generally and impress upon them the importance of good ethics to our society and to them individually."

Students will find themselves constantly facing ethical questions, and Stem challenges them to develop high personal ethical standards that will help them successfully work through these situations with pride

" As part of the freshman ethics module, I have been administering a survey of student attitudes about ethics," Stem said. "Interestingly, the answers to my questions have changed little over the eight years I have been conducting the survey."

Stem said he believes he speaks for the majority of his faculty colleagues in the business school when he says that they recognize that the subject of ethics and ethical decision making belongs in the context of a student's e ntire program and that faculty are working to challenge the students to look at the complex ethical problems in business with a view to the day when they will be the decision-makers.

''While I would not claim that we are actually c hanging anyone's ethics, I believe that if we merely increase a student's sensitivity to ethical problems and hold o ut high expectations for them, we will have accomplished a great deal."

EDUCATION

The College of Education has established

four researc h professorships to study the impact of Texas education reform The program will be supported privately through the college's Center for Excellence in Education.

The professorships were set up to allow education faculty to research statewide educational issues, according to Dean Richard Ishler The 1988-89 team and their respective areas of expertise are Dr. Shamus Mchaffie and associate professor Dr. Alice Denham, secondary education; Dr LaMont Johnson, special education; and associate professor Dr Gerald Parr, counselor education.

Denham said the group will focus on attitudes toward the knowledge of Texas education reform by surveying school board members, administrators, teachers and parents

Team members will divide their time between teaching and participating in the study Their findings will be pub lished in reports and distributed state wide to educators and policymakers

"The research professorship program will become an integral part of the college's efforts to improve education in Texas," Mchaffie said.

The Tech College of Education is the f"trst American university education program to obtain a grant to provide community training programs for drug awareness. Although 42 other Drug Free American programs currently are in operation, the Tech program is th e first of its kind to be sponsored through a university.

The two-year grant for S210 ,675 was awarded to Tech by the U.S. Depart ment of Education.

A training project direc ted by Citizens for a Drug Free Community will provide instruction on drug abuse education and prevention to law enforcement personnel , judicial officials, com munity leaders and parents, said Dr Herman Garcia, program trainer and an assistant professor of education.

''We will focus on the actual dange r of drugs and prevention efforts," Garcia said "Our ultimate goal is to teach people to say 'no."'

The program will seek to train the community as a whole about the dangers of drug abuse, said Dan Gomez, program director The program will involve training sessions, work shops, sponsorship of drug awareness programs and sharing of resources with organizations such as Texans War on Drugs

He said the program will be available to individuals and organizations.

ENGINEERING

students at Tech may one day li'elp edge OPEC out of the driver' s seat in the imponant sphere of automotive fuel.

The students proposed a new design for the conversion of a gasoline engine to methanol, and their plan has been accepted by General Motors as one of the U.S. entries in the 1989 SAE Methanol Marathon

Professor Jesse Jones, faculty adviser, said the students devised a conversion system that in theory would eliminate the need for any gasoline in methanol blends

GM's design competition allows the use of 15 percent gasoline in the methanol mixture to allow enough volatility for ignition The Tech design, however, doesn ' t need the gasoline for combustibility It aims at separating hydrogen from the methanol, then starting the engine by sparking the hydrogen

Representatives of the group were invited by GM to Warren, Mich ., in November to attend ceremonies recog nizing 15 university research teams that s ubmitted winning design plans

GM is supplying a 1989 Chevrolet Corsica to each of the research teams for use in implementing the methanol conversions The conversion and test-

ing of the cars will take place during the next six months, after which each car will be operated in a five-day: 1 1OO mile road rally from Detrolt to Washington, D.C., by way of Toronto, Canada

The Louise C. and James G. Allen Engineering

Communications Center recently became the official name of the student support facility located in the Civil/Agriculture Engineering Building.

The naming of the center in honor of the emeritus faculty members and still active University supporters was funded by part of a $10,000 endowment from Noel and Christia Bryant of Lubbock. The endowment also supports a scholarship program in the col· lege's electrical engineering department where Bryant earned a bachelor's degree in 1940

The communications center is a free support service that counsels engineer ing students who need to sharpen oral and written communication skills The center also offers tutoring sessions, resume service and a composition marking service for engineering faculty.

this fall, Texas Tech and four West Texas colleges began a five year dual degree program in mathematics and engineering.

The program awards simultaneous degrees by allowing an exchange of credits as a mathematics major at one of the colleges without an engineering program and completed as a computer science or engmeenng student at Texas Tech.

The project began accepting stu dents last semester at Wayland Baptist University in Plainview, Lubbock Christian University in Lubbock, West Texas State University in Canyon and Mc Murry College in Abilene. The first dual degree graduates are expected in 1993

''Texas Tech gets students we otherwise wouldn' t have gotton because they wanted to attend a private college or start school close to home," said Director of Engineering Undergraduate Affairs Darrell L Vmes.

He added that the other colleges expect to gain new students who had previously bypassed the institution because it had no engineering or computer sciences courses.

In the program, students spend three years taking core requirements for a bachelor's degree plus 20 hours of mathematics at the other institutions. The remaining two years are spent at Texas Tech completing the University's requirements for a bachelor's degree in computer science or any of the nine specialized engineering fields

"The problem is that the Chinese haven ' t catered well to the needs of Western tourists, and many services are not available to Westerners in China

The Chinese government would like to have more Western investments and other joint ventures, especially with the United States. "

While in China, Schrock discussed computer software and hardware used in the hospitality industry, including those systems that deal with guest services and billing in hotels He also lectured about such topics as developing and operating profit centers within hotels

Schrock, who was an invited guest of the Chinese Department of Commerce, said joint ventures between the U.S. and China have risen steadily since 1978. He also said the average income of th e Chinese household increased.

The Schrock project involves a type of exchange program that allows the training of American and Chinese pro fessionals at all levels. Even tho ugh still in the proposal stage, Schrock said the program has re ceived support from Chinese government authorities and Chinese professors.

Otnega-3's role in reducing heart attacks under investigation at HSC

By Preston Lewis

Fish oil containing omega-3 fatty acids appears to discriminate on the basis of sex. That is the finding of preliminary Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center studies into the comparative effects of omega-3 fatty acids on the male and female lipid levels

Dr. Charles D. Lox, who holds appointments in the HSC departments of obstetrics/ gynecology and of cell biology and anatomy, said the beneficial effects of omega-3 on reducing several heart attack risk factors are not as clear cut for women as for men.

For instance, supplemental doses of omega-3 generally help men of all ages decrease overall cholesterol levels, lower the proportion of low density lipoproteins (LDL) or "bad" cholesterol and reduce the activity of several mechanisms which produce clotting, all factors which can contribute to heart attacks

However, omega-3's effect on women varies with their age and whether they are taking birth control pills or supplemental estrogen Generally, women of child-bearing age who are not taking oral contra ceptives show no demonstrable effect from supplemental omega 3, Lox said. Women of child bearing age who took oral contraceptives and supplemental omega-3 showed cholesterol and a gre ater nsk of clotting as well

In menopausal wome n taking replacement estrogens, daily doses of omega-3 fatty acids did reduc e th e proportion of LDL, the " bad" cholesterol in the blood and slightly reduced the risk.

"A post-menopau sal woman of 47 generally has the same risk of a

heart attack as a man of 45," Lox said. "Omega-3 appears to be more beneficial to older women which is positive since that is where the greater risks are."

More extensive s tudies on a broader population, however, are necessary to confirm the findings, Lox said. This preliminary study is significant, though, because it is one of the earliest to look at wom en and it utilizes only a fraction of the dosages generally used in previous studies done on men.

Omega-3 fatty acids are fish oils derived from cold water ocean fish such as salmon, mackerel, haddock and cod. The brownish oil comes in a gelatin capsule for consumption Scientists have been explo ring omega-3 's healthful bene fits for several years because cold water fish are a staple in the diet of Eskimos, a people who have one of the world's lowest rates of heart disease

Participants in the HSC study took three grams of omega-3 with their m e als daily for 30 days. All participants were non smoking volunteers without a history of coronary disease or high blood pressure.

Of the participants, nine were males between 21 50 , eight were nonnally cycling women not using oral contraceptives, nine were nor mally cycling contraceptive users and five were menopausal women on replacement estrogens.

Lox said the difference in the male and female r esponse may relate to the female h ormone estrogen produced by women of child-bearing age, but the relation ship between o mega-3 and estrogen is still unclear.

Like aspirin, omega-3 appears to r educe the risk of heart attack by blocking chemicals known as prostaglandins. Some prostaglandins, though not all, are thought to cause blood platelets to clot.

But unlike aspirin which blocks all prostaglandins, omega-3 appears just to block those which cause platelet clumping and the resultant high blood pressure. Because of that and because omega-3 is a natural substance which would not have all the side-effects of aspirin , Lox said it wou ld hopefully be u sed in treating pregnant women for high blood pressure.

Lox added that additional studies utilizing larger populations over longer periods are necessary to delineate the actual benefits of omega-3 in women and to deter mine the interrelationship between the supplemental fish oil and the female hormone estrogen !

A 'Yankee' coach at Tech

By Sammy Covington

"Ijust knew they w o uldn't be able to play without me," said .Kal Segrist, sitting at his cluttered desk hidden behind an archery target in his office at Texas Tech, a slight grin on his face . Segrist was refer ring to a time when he was growing up in Dallas Little League Baseball wasn't around yet, but the high school coaches ran a program in the summer that Segrist called the Park League

"Now back then , right field was the position where you put your poorest player That was the weak guy. If you didn ' t have anybody else, you put him in right field .

"This one day, I got down to the ball park a little late I was the star, one of the good players I usually played shortstop or second base. It was all right if I was late."

By the time Segrist made it to the park, the coach had already made out the lineup . "So, I asked him where he wanted me to play," Segrist said " He told me to play right field

"Well , I told him right off that I didn't play right field ." The coach told the young Segrist that if he dido 't want to play right field , he didn't have to play at all "When he said that, I got my bat, and I started out like I was going home ."

Segrist said he only walked about

a block before he circled back to watch his team play. "I just knew that at anytime they were going to break down and try to find me and get me to come back and play Well , they didn' t miss me one bit. They played right along without me and had the best time you ever saw

"I guess I realized then that you had better play wherever you 're told to play, and that you had better do the best you can If you didn't, you might no t get to play at all."

That was the e xperience that taught .Kal Segrist , Texas Tech's head baseball coach from 1968 to 1983, the importance of team play. It was a lesson that guided him through a brilliant career at Adamson High School in Dallas, the University of Texas at Austin, and as a professional athlete with the New York Yankees and Baltimore organizations. But it wasn't an easy lesson for the young Segrist to swallow.

"Of course, it took me four or five days before I was able to come back to the park. But when I did, it was like I had never been gone. From then on, I played where I was told to play, and I did the best that I could do no matter what position it was."

Segrist credits much of his early

success in baseball to his father

"Fortunately, the Lord blessed me with the ability to play baseball, but it was my father who pushed me and provided the opportunities for me to play the gante ."

Segrist's father was a former professional athlete in the old Texas League and played for the Dallas Steers until about 1926 It was his father's enthusiasm for the game that ignited Segrist's desire to play

"When I was 6 years old, I was taken to Cliff Park and introduced to the Park LeagUe coach. Doc Hensley couldn't have been more of a coach for a young boy. He was a good baseball man who had a great rapport with young boys. He could get the most out of a kid and still let him know what he was doing wrong without discouraging him. "

Segrist wasn't the only kid influ enced by Hensley in the old Park League.

' 'I'd say that just from that park team alone about 15 kids went on to play pro ball."

At Adamson High in Dallas, Segrist led his team to win the state championship three years in a row

"The high school state chamwere all played at Dallas m the P.C. Cobb Tournament.

'7've never regretted playing for the Yankees' organization. It was just a great experience. I probaf'lY played with the greatest organization of the wne, the greatest players of the time, and some of the greatest players of ALL time."

-Kal Segrist

About 20 teams played in it over a period of a week.

"Two of the three years we were in the tournament we won the championship game by the 10 runrule, but every year there was always one team that we just barely beat. "

Segrist's biggest thrill in his high school career came in 1948 during the championship game in his senior year.

"We were playing Beaumont that year for the state championship, and 1 hit a-well, it was kind of a funny de3.1.

"At practice the night before, I had found an extra long, light bat tfult felt real good; and on my first time up at the plate, I hit the ball with bat right off the top of the left center field fence It was a pretty good hit for a high school player, ab o ut 390 feet. I just barely missed hitting it over the fence. "

The next time Segrist was up, he couldn't find his bat. He soon dis covered that one of his teammates had used it and broken it.

"I had to find me another bat. So, I picked up this shorter, heavier bat. I jus t knew that I w o uldn't be able to hit a thing with it. Well, when I got up to the plate, I hit a curve ball with that bat and knocked it right over the fence.

"It was one of the few balls hit out of that ballpark by a high school kid. It was a real thrill for me at the time."

The head coach for the Texas Longhorns Baseball . team was at the tournament before Segrist hit his home run.

"He had come to watch the semifinals. We were playing last and had just finished working out. I was walking into the ballpark's lobby with some of the guys, and there he was, standing th e re with a cigar in his mouth."

Segrist had met the Longhorn coac h before , but he had no knowledge that the coach was interested in him as a player "As we came in the lobby, he

stepped right in front of me and blocked my path. So I stopped, looked up, and said, 'Hi, Coach.' He just looked back at me and said, 'Are you coming to Texas or aren't ya?'"

Segrist was given a full scholarship at Texas and admitted that getting the offer before the championship game might have motivated him to hit the over-the-fence home run

"It sure didn ' t hurt my feelings any!"

After meeting with the Longhorn

coach at the tournament, Segrist didn't hear from Texas until school was about to begin

"I had to write just to find out what I was supposed to do," he said. Playing with the Longhorns, he led the Southwest Conference in batting with a .44 2 average and earned All Southwest Conference honors at second base, helping the Longhorn team win the national title in 1949 and 1950.

"Winning the national title was very important to me . I had played on a state championship team , but

somehow the national title had always been out of reach

"I remember in 1950, we had to play a team called Rutgers. We had just beaten Arizona in the region als, so we were pretty confident about Rutgers Nobody on our team had ever heard of them. We were all going around asking, 'Who in the heck is Rutgers? '

"Well, this nobody Rutgers team snu ck up and beat us 2 to 1 in the first game They had this little center fielder who c o uld just fly. He'd bunt, s teal second, steal third, and I think he may have even stolen home But that's how they scored. Before we knew it, we were beat 2 to 1.

"It kind of woke us up, and we beat everybody else real good We didn ' t have a close game the rest of the tournament."

Segrist's most memorable year in his baseball career was 1950

"Well, winning the national championship really was important to me. And that year I led the conference and the regionals in batting and then led the tournament in home runs."

Segr1st was also named to the AU Tournament team

Almost immediately after the tournament, Segrist signed a co ntract with the New York Yankees that included a $50,000 bonus.

" My first year I played with New York's AAA club in Kansas City. I went to New York my second and third year, but then I came back to Kansas City. I was traded my fourth year to Baltimore in what was the bigges t trade of that time.

"The Yankees wanted three players from Baltimore. They were Bob Turley, Don Larson and Billy Hunter The Yankees traded about eight of us out of Kansas City for those three guys."

After playing in Baltimore, Segrist played some minor league ball. But the minor leagues were slowly disappearing, and Segrist .the desire to finish college

I ve never regretted playing for the Yankee organization," Segrist . said. " It was just a great experience I probably played with the greatest organization of the time,

the greatest players of the time, "Like , one time in spring train and some of the greatest players of ing, we were practicing in o ur all time. Having the experience of sweatjackets They were rubber playing with and against those guys type jackets we wore when we was tremendous worked out.

"But career-wise, it had some

"So, I had to put on this sweat negative aspects I should have jacket over my jersey. I was jus t signed with a second-division team ' standing in the outfield, and Vic instead of going for the big bonus . . :Raschi walked over. Now, he didn't with the Yankees. ·! coUld have .eas- make a big deal out of it, and ily playe d regularly with ' ofthe · nobody knew that he was talking second divisioq teams: .It was just to nie; But he walked by and said tough competing for a 'Job against ' real quietly; 'Kal , we wear our some of the bes t players in tbe ·sweatsuttdemeath our top s.

"At New York there was a lot of : "And I went in and changed pressure on the players to perform. right the n ."

"Just look at Willie Mays When he went to the Giants, he didn't get a base hit his first 30-some-odd times at bat. But .they stayed with him, and he became a great player. Now with the Yankees, they wouldn't have stayed with Mickey Mantle for 30 times at bat without a hit. If you didn' t produce, you were gone."

And Segrist believed that talent and money weren't the only assets the Yankees had.

"The Yankees had a certain philosophy they upheld on and off the field And even though New York had many great individual players, tt was a team philosophy. The coaches weren' t the ones who started it either It was the players.

he could have made it bigge r in the major leagues if he had signed with another club .

" Oh, I had my opportunities, and I played some major-league ball. But if I were advising myself and knew what I know now, I would have signed with a second division club such as Detroit.

" Now De troit would have been a . perfect park for me because of t1x way it was made. I could reach ant fence very easily. It would have . been a tremendous park for me to: hit in . Kansas City and Yankee Sta· dium were huge parks. Being the straight on hitter I was, I just couldn' t hit it out of those parks."

Even so, playing for the Yankee organization did provide Segrist

t7 remember in 1950, we had to play a team called Rutgers. We had just beaten Arizona in the regionals, so we were pretty confident about Rutgers. Nobody on our team (UT) had ever heard of them. We all going around asking, 'Who m the heck is Rutgers?"'

with the opportunity to meet many of baseball's greatest.

"Joe DiMaggio was finishing up when I came to New York He was one of the greatest players of all time. My first two years were his last. I was playing at Kansas City then, but I did go through spring training with him. Of course Phil Rizzuto was playing, and Billy Martin was with the club.

"Now, when I came to New York, I had never heard of Billy Martin. Casey Stengel had brought him in from Oakland, and he was a yo\1flg kid back then. So here I was, a college sophomore, and I see this young ' kid running around shagging balls. Well, I thought Billy was the bat boy. I don't think I knew until the next year that he was a player!"

Segrist also played with baseball Mickey Mantle.

"My first year with Kansas City was Mickey's first year in the majors. He came down to Kansas City for about six weeks to learn how to bunt and such. That was 1951, and it was Qis last year in the minors."

Segrist laughed when asked if he signed for more money than Mantle "Oh, yea. I don't know what he got, but it wasn't much Of course he made up for that later."

Lawrence Peter (Yogi) Berra was another baseball great Segrist knew on the Yankee team

"Yogi was a great player and a strong competitor; but if he had played in another ballpark besides Yankee Stadium, he probably

wouldn't have been the player that he was. You see, Yankee Stadium was perfect for the left-handed hitters, and Yogi took advantage of that.

"He was what we called a 'bad ball hitter.' The book on Yogi was to throw strikes right down the middle. If you threw a pitch six inches over his head, he'd tomahawk the ball out of the park.

"And he pulled everything he hit. If you could pull the ball in Yankee Stadium, you could hit it over the short porch that was in right field. It was an easy home run of about 250 feet. That's why Yogi could have a .260 average, still hit 30 home runs a season, and drive in a hundred runs every year."

Segrist said that Berra's famous personality wasn't exaggerated by the press.

"Yea, Yogi was quite a character, and I think most of the quotes for which he was famous were accurate. That's just the way Yogi was. Sometimes he was just dumb all the way to the bank, but he was a smart ballplayer. "

Segrist retired from professional ball in 1961 and returned to school, earning his bachelor's degree from North Texas State in 1962. He then came to Tech as an assistant under Berl Huffman in the fall of 1964 and took over as head coach in 1968.

"Originally, I was asked to come out to Tech to be a teaching assistant so I could work on my master's But I just couldn't afford it. It

didn't pay enough."

To help Segrist with his financial obligations, Tech offered him a job helping Huffman with the baseball team

"From the start, I did all the physical work with the team. Berl used to say, 'Now, all Kal does is work with the infield, make out the practice schedule, give all the signs, and supervise all the drills, but I make out the lineup, so I'm the head coach."'

In 1967, Segrist began running the program by himself and in 1968 was named head coach.

As the head coach of the Raiders, Segrist compiled a record of 319 324-1; and in 1980 he coached the Raiders to their only appearance in the SWC post-season tournament, a tournament that he organized.

"It was a real pleasure for me to coach a team in the tournament that I helped get off the ground. I think that was one of my proudest moments here at Tech "

Segrist was also named SWC "Coach of the Year" on three different occasions, but he doesn't think of that as his biggest accomplishment at Tech.

"What I take the most pride in, as far as accomplishments here , was what I was able to do for the facilities. Tech let me design the baseball field, and I think getting that field built was my biggest accomplishment."

Segrist retired as head coach because of recurring knee problems and family obligations

For his contributions to the Tech baseball program, Segrist received the Brooks Wallace Memorial Trophy at the opening ceremonies of the alumni baseball game on Sept. 24, 1988. Segrist is only the second person to receive the award. Berl Huffman received it last year.

Segrist is c urrently teaching archery and basketball/ baseball officiating in the PE department at Tech. He and his wife, Becky, have six children: Kathy, Susan, Khris , Scott, Sunny Beth and Sandy. Khris pitched for the Raider baseball team, and Scott is a place-kicker for the Raider football team. [!

All in the Family

Sibling trio score high Red

Raiders

By Danny Davis

Athletics at Texas Tech has turned somewhat into a family affair over the last few years.

Tvvo current Red Raider football players-senior defensive end Terry Lynch and freshman cornerback Sammy Walker-and ex Raider tight end Mike Farst '77 all have family ties with the current Tech women's basketball team. Terry's sister Reena is a junior forward and Mike's sister Karen is a junior guard/ forward. Sammy's sister Tammy is a sophomore guard, and all three women figure prominently in the 1988-89 season.

Reena, an AU-Southwest Confer ence player last season, said the deciding factor in her choosing Tech over national power Texas was her brother's presence on the Raider grid team.

"I would say that tipped the scales toward Tech ," Reena said, who, like Terry, was a standout at Morton. "It was about equally bal anced between UT and Tech, and with Terry already h ere, that was the determining factor."

The elder Lynch said that he never directly tried to coerce his sister into attending Tech, although he admits her decision made him very happy.

"I've known since sometime when I was in junior high school that I was going to Tech, " Lynch said emphatically. "Somehow it got in my blood as a kid and I never considered any other school. Naturally, I waS pleased that she chose to come here. She asked me about Tech and I told her what she wanted to know, but I wanted her

to make..up her own inind about where she wanted to go."

After spending one season as a part-time starter for the University of New·Orleans, Karen, last season 's top three-point shooter in . the SWC, found Bourbon Street was not to h er liking.

"At the end of that year at UNO, I just knew that it wasn't for me," said Farst, who is a graduate of LaSalle in Pittsburgh. "During the summer I worked as a receptionist assistant for Mike's office. While I was there I made inquiries at Texas A&M about playing there, and naturally I asked Mike about Tech. "

"Of course, I secretly harbored hopes that Karen would choose Tech," Mike said. "But I never told her that. I told h er, academically, she couldn' t go wrong regardless of her choice. She would just have to weigh all the evidence and make up her own mind."

"Some of the things he told me about Tech and Lubbock were the deciding factors, " Karen said. "He told me how friendly th e people of West Texas are and that Tech had a real spirited campus. That's important to me "

The two Walkers, however, came in under a different situation. Tammy and Sammy are fraternal twins. Sammy, who is quick to point out he is the oldest, said that it got to be the norm for every school that re cruited him to ask about his sister.

I got to wondering if they really wanted me, or if they just wanted to get Tammy through me," he said

Tammy was the Naismith Award winner for being the state's Player

of the Year after her senior season :ai McKinney She, along with Sammy, a defensive starter, was · recruited by each SWC team.

"We (she and Sammy) never sat doWn and discussed where we · wanted to go," Tammy said . "But we come from a big family that is very close, and I think having a lit tle 'piece of the network' with me was a great benefit that first year in college "

She admits there are other advantages in being a sister to a member of the football t eam. " I get first crack at the new football recruits," Tammy said.

Close family ties run consistent between each brother-sister duo, and each shows in a unique way

"We were the last two kids to leave home ," Terry said with a smile. "It made Momma happy for us to be so close to home and together. We're real tight , Reena and 1 "

"The first year I was up here we did practically everything together," recalled Reena. " He lives off campus and we see less of each other, but any time either of us needs to talk, the other is always there " ·

Coming from a big family can sometimes lead to a distance between siblings That isn' t so for the Walkers.

"We come from a big family, but we are extremely tight," Tammy said. is a very strong bond between Sammy and I."

But just how tight are they?

"If Tammy, for any reason , w ere to transfer to another school, I wouldn' t hesitate to follow her I care more for my sister than any school," Sammy said.

'Ibe Farst-Tech connection is not as imJllediate as the other two "I was only in the third grade when Mike played here," Karen said. "'Ibe only thing I remember from coming here to watch games was the black horse running around the track and me waving my little guns in the air. But it is a lot of fun for us now. He comes to some of the games, especially Texas and Texas A&M games, and it's fun for the

whole family "

"I am extremely proud of the things that Karen does," Mike said " Not only is she an outstanding athlete but a great student. How she can devote the time that is necessary to earn a 4 .0 GPA (earned last spring, and she has a 3.8 overall) is beyond me. As a biology major planning to go to medical school, what she does is incredible. "

Album covers allow artist to express creativity

Robert Hudnall, a commercial artist who has illustrated more than 200 album covers, said that his is an art fonn that is slowly dying out Hudnall, the creative force behind many of the covers for musical artists s uch as the Maines Brothers, Nowlin Thbbs, Wesley Putnam, Johnny Ray Watson and Asparagus Nightmare, said albums are being replaced by cassette tapes and compact discs

Album covers, he said, have afforded him the chance to do some of his best work as a graphic designer

He got into the music business in 1973 when a friend , who didn ' t h ave time to illustrate a cover for Don Cald well (of Don Caldwell Studios) , asked him to do it. The cover was for the Singing Disciples, a young choir o ut of Abernathy, he said.

Since then, he has illustrated a couple of hundred covers. One of his favorites, he said , is the illustration he did for the Maines Brothers' most recent album The front depicts a heart bursting through the flag On the back s ide are boots and shoes smoking from being out on the dance fl oor

"That's an idea I had about thre e years ago, and they (the Maines Broth e rs) finally decided it was a good o ne," Hudnall said.

The illustrator, who said he did much of his work at Caldwell 's record ing studio , said he thrives o n bedlam and doesn' t let the little things in life throw him

"One day I came in and the Singing Disciples were reco rding their second album I had left my office open. When I came back, some of the little girls had gotten my marke rs and written Jove notes and drawn valentines all over the desk. One of the mothers was about to have a heart attack, but I thought it kind of funn y."

Hudnall was born in Lubbock. As early as the sixth grade, h e was selling his artistic creations

"The first art I ever sold was in the sixth grade. I did a sculpture of a mule with a cigar in his mouth and made a cat out of newspapers and shellac and sold both of those to some kind relative," he said.

It wasn 't until years later, after he got o ut of the service, that he knew he

wanted to be an artist Hudnall served in the Navy from 1959 to 1963.

"I got to enjoy the Cuban missile c ri s is I was o n an ammunition ship and we floated around Cuba. I guess everyone with 1Vs and radios was really excited about it. But we didn' t think too much about it. It was kind of fun We were following these rusty Russian ships around It wasn't some big, scary thing."

Hudnall said he soon found that Navy life wasn't for him " I'm kind of the independent sort. I had a bad habit of asking questions They'd say 'You need to do that ,' and I'd say 'Why?"'

Once back in Lubbock, he graduated from Lubbock Christian College and th en went on to Texas Tech , where he rec eived a bachelor's in graphic design and a minor in photograph y.

Much of the work Hudnall does nowadays is on a freelance basis "I've worked for a couple of agencies, but I've just never been into punching a clock," he said.

One thing for s ure, you will never catch Hudnall in a tie. "I'm firml y con vinced that ties cause brain damage. It cuts off the circulation to the brain."

Hudnall's philosophy for living is th at "life s houldn't be as serious as a heart attack, and that yo u s hould do what you enjoy. " (

Eulogy to Ronald Schulz

On May 1 of last year, Texas Tech University lost o n e o f its b rightest stars whe n Ro nald W Schu lz, a member of t h e Theatre Arts fac ul ty fro m 19 58 to 1983, p asse d away

It wo uld be diffic ult to e xaggerate Schul z 's impo rtanc e to Texas Tec h

To say th at Ro n Schulz w as jus t a theat re fac ul ty m e mbe r is like saying tha t George Washingto n was ju st a presid e n t of the United States Mo r e than anyo n e e lse, Ro n was r espo n si b le fo r the evolu tio n of the Texas Tech Uni ve r sity Thea tre program fro m a s mall d e partment tucked aw ay in a tiny building, t o a m ajo r fo r c e in th e theatre scen e o f the So uthwest.

The r e is n o t e n o ugh space h e re to p aint a po rtrai t o f Ron Schulz as more than 25 years wo rth of s tude n ts kn ew him But tha t ' s o kay His legacy wi ll remai n a t Texas Te ch, thro ugh the vis io ns h e s h ared with th e Univer sity and the communi ty.

He was a direc t o r fo r all seasons At h o m e with virtu ally any style o f th ea tre , h e direc t e d plays rangi n g fro m Oedipus t o Albee wi th th e same s kill and atte nti o n to d e tail He was a visu al director , o n e for who m th e s t age was a paint e r ' s canvas He was n o t sat isfi e d until the play looked exactly like the pic ture in his mind.

Schulz was a ve ry quie t man, hi s manne r n o rmally slo w and th o ught ful. During r e h e arsals h e sa t at a d esk in th e middl e of the audit o rium , w h e r e h e co uld b e see n s m o king a cigarette , occasio n ally takin g no t es o n th e perfo rmanc e

But when he tho ught an actor c o uld b e n efit tto m mo r e than ju s t a n udge in th e r ight direc ti on, h e wo u ld b o un d up fro m th e d arke n e d audi t orium , and dem o n s t rat e jus t how h e want e d it d o ne. Wh e n h e finish e d , h e see m e d so happy just t o b e on th e stage, as if h e h ad fini s h ed a pe rfo rmance h imself

Alth ough Ro n Schulz could be a d iffic ult t askmas t er, re quiring e ndless r epe t iti o n of a sce n e until the actors had it righ t , h e was always p a ti e nt in his explanat io n of just exac tly WHY h e wante d it d o n e a ce rt ain way.

To his w o r k as a teach e r he brought th e d e d icati o n and e nthus i asm tha t was so appare nt in hi s direc tin g. Wh ethe r in fro nt of a class o r in th e ce nte r of the Uni ve rsity Thea tre , h e was a man who loved th e th ea tre , an d who p assed on his p assio n fo r it to ge n erat ion s of s tude nts

Ac t o r s and d esig n e r s w h o w o rked with him will re m e mbe r th e e xhil ara tio n th at came fro m e arning his p raise, and the eagerness to try hard e r w h e n th ey r ecei ve d h is c riti cism.

The m an w h o b ro ught m ode rn t h eat r e t o Lu bbock, Ro n a ld W. Schulz, was a pio n ee r of the arts at Texas Tech Unive r s ity. He will n o t b e fo rgo tt e n (By Bill Durha m ' 80 ( Theatre Arts/ En g lish ) , New Yo r k, w h o appeared in fo ur Unive r s ity Thea tre p lays und e r Ro n Schu lz' s direc tio n .)

alumni 'Sig111un·d'

By Marsha GUstafson; Editor .

At various times in all our lives, we become with people who us immediately, whether personally or professionally, or pethaps bo'th These individuals may be charismatic, poised, talented, self-assured, intelligent, common as dirt and genuinely friendly, or any number and combination of qualities that leave some kirid of positive impression on us·after getting to know them.

In future Editor's Notebooks, I and others will be showcasing some of these undesignated " dis tinguished alumni" who have impressed us favorably. All Tech exes, this will give exposure to some really fine people who reflect positively on their alma mater and deserve the we can offer them by devoting this page of the magazine t9 them The charter, debut, inaugural individual for the Editor's Notebook is a type of Sigmund Freud. 'Through his talents and abilities and concern for ·others and their welfare, he has helped countless people solve their problems-or at least cope with and understand them.

A soft voice and quiet demeanor combine with the subtle stroke of the beard and concerned, attentive gaze of this individual, who his Ph D. from Tech's marriage and family therapy program in the College of Home Economics, considered one of the very best doctoral programs of its kind in the United States.

He grew up in Florida of Jewish descent and earned a bachelor's degree at the University of Florida and a Master of Social Work degree from The University of Texas at Austin. He has worked with the Zuni Indians, and Southwest and Indian art adorn his office, bespeaking his interest in and respect for those people.

In fact , one of the happiest times in his life, he says, was spent in Gallup, N M., where he earned only $550 a month and lived in a $75 basement apartment. Material goods are not as important to him as self conte ntment, which may be obvious by the fact that he drives not a Porsche, which h e doubtless could afford, but a Volkswagen with a bumper sticker on the back proclaiming a political statement about the powe r of nurses, the occupation in which his wife, Susan, works at Texas Tech's Health Sciences Center.

His interests are widespread , including the practice of hypnosis and the flying of kites He can speak knowledgeably about Indian cultures, mythology and authors and their works, religions, Musashi , Zen and the powers of relaxation and countless other subjects. He has hiked to th e bottom of the Grand Canyon, living there for three months, and likewise experienced two weeks of snow-camping with temperatures lowering to 4o •. Dr. Neal Newfield is a sc holar, a low key, self confident, professional man He's a respected colleague and a very "distinguished alumnus" of Texas Tech University.
