Featured on this month's cover is the 197 1 Alumni Administrative Award for Comprehensive Program Excellence. The award was presented to the Texas Tech Ex-Students Association in Washington D.C. in July. Tech was one of only two universities in the nation to receive the American Alumni Council's highest award.

PAGE ONE

Imagine the feeling that goes with winning a national football title. That's how members of the Ex­Students Association can feel about the 1971 Alumni Administration Award for Comprehensive Program Excellence which was presented in Washington, D.C. in July. This award is to an alumni association what a Rose Bowl bid is to a foot­ball team.

·Texas Tech was one of only two universities in the nation to receive the award, the highest recognition given by the American Alumni

Council. The University of Indiana was the other recognized institution.

Two colleges, Abilene Christian College and the College of New Rochelle, also received the award for program excellence.

Wayne James and Tony Gust­wick, directors of the Tech associ­ation, received the award from AAC President Warren Gould.

"This award acknowledges the finest alumni programs in the country," said Gould, "and it's fit­ting that Texas Tech University is a 1971 recipient, indicating the scope

and size of their excellent alumni program."

Texas Tech Executive Vice Presi­dent Glenn E. Barnett, who was in Washington for the awards banquet and other university business, said, "All of us realize that an effective alumni association is important to a good university. We are pleased to have the Texas Tech University Ex­Students Association singled out as one of the outstanding organizations in the country."

"Such a singular honor is, above all else, indicative of the superlative

job being done by professional staff associated with the Tech Ex-Stu­dents Association-a job which, in large measure, is many times over­looked and taken for granted by the association membership when in fact it is recognized and held in high esteem on a national level," said Donnell Echols of Lamesa, presi­dent of the Tech Ex-Students As­sociation. "It certainly gives me .great pleasure to know we have ..this caliber of people working to promote and enhance the strength of our organization."

As one of the four award winners

for comprehensive excellence, Texas Tech University was selected from more than 1 ,500 colleges, univer­sities and independent schools in the council's membership.

Gustwick and James were joined by several othe"r Tech people at the Washington banquet. Mrs. Barnett, Mrs. James and Mrs. Gustwick accompanied their husbands. Con­gressman and Mrs. George Mahon of Lubbock; Mr. and Mrs. Randy Pendleton, '62; Mr. and Mrs. Jess Mcilvain, '59; Rear Admiral and Mrs. Donald Chapman, '39; and Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Gibbens, '59,

represented Tech at the banquet. Pendleton is director of Federal­

State Relations for the State of Texas; Mcilvain, president of the Washington chapter of the Texas Tech Ex-Students Association; Adm. Chapman, district representa­tive of the Ex-Students Association and a former recipient of the Dis­tinguished Alumnus Award at Texas

Secretary of the Treasury John Connally, former governor of Texas, delivered the address at the confer­ence dinner, attended by approximately 1,000 members and guests.

As a highlight of the national conference, James and Gustwick presented a slide program on the Texas Tech Ex-Students Association. James is on the board of directors of the AAC and district chairman for District 4 of the council. Gustwick holds directorship in District 4.

A summary of the four winning alumni programs will be included in a book published late this summer and distributed to AAC members.

To enter the competition, each institution was asked to give evidence of exemplary programs on and off campus, and continuing education. The entries, James said, were judged on the scope of their pro­grams, their use of resources and the general effective­ness of their programs. Taken into account was the size of alumni body to provide an equitable opportunity for both large and small associations.

James said. The council is organized to provide service to its institutional members in " mobilizing behind edu­cation the full strength of organized alumni support."

This is the sixth year that the awards for com­prehensive program excellence have been awarded. No awards were given last year because judges felt no uni­versity or college merited them.

The specially designed plaque bears an Alumni Administration bronze wreath, symbol of program excellence.

James has been with the Texas Tech organization since 1957 and executive director since 1960. Gustwick has been with the association five years.

Other members of the staff include Berl Huffman, director of public relations; Larry Carter, special assistant; Mrs. Wanda Dawley, secretary ; Mrs. Mary Ann Fergeson, receptionist; Mrs. Karen Whitson, supervisor of records; Jim Wood, student assistant; and Mrs. Carolyn Martin, Mrs. Carolyn Willis, Mrs. Connie Mebane, Mrs. Ann Lankford, Mrs. Dana Feaster, Mrs. Rhonda Gerig, Alice Holmes, Jakie Price, and Sharon Lindsey, currently on leave.

"If all the 20,000 students at Texas Tech were serious students, I'd be in real trouble," says R. C. Janeway, Texas Tech University librarian. " 15 per cent of the stu­dent body accounts for 95 per cent of our library use."

How could a university librarian take such a heretical stance on the field of scholarly endeavor? Actual­ly it isn't a matter of not wanting serious students. Janeway just wouldn't have room in Tech's 1,245,514 volume library to ac­comodate all Tech students.

"We were too big for this building the day we moved into it," and because of this Janeway is in hopes that his proposed plans for additions to the university library will be approved.

The library averages a 10 per cent annual increase, meaning the number of volumes doubles every eight years. This is twice the nation­al increase rate, according to Jane­way.

Plans for expansion are currently under scrutiny. Janeway is hoping for 300,000 square feet of expan­sion of the library including a 46, -000 square foot media center. "Nobody's ever accused me of dreaming small you know. Assume you can do it until you can't." Addition would be to the west of the present structure.

Janeway hopes to make the Texas Tech library complete for the needs of every student. The proposed center would include video cassette facilities and possibly a memory bank computer for keying infor­mation to the student.

"The library is a unique institu­tion on campus," said Janeway. "It has a campus-wide orientation; we're not obligated to the benefit of just one department. Because of this, we can do things other depart­ments can't do."

To Janeway, this means bringing people in from disciplines ranging from music, communications, edu­cation to engineering and beyond.

"You can see the possibilities

AUGUST, 1971

with a program like the media center when you see how similar programs have developed, even in grade schools. Project Impact at Maedgen Elementary in Lubbock is a good example.

Project Impact is a program developed by the Lubbock Inde­pendent School District to provide a model demonstration library­learning center. The project con­sisted of three coordinated programs: audiovisual, library and counseling.

" I was on the reviewing board which studied the outcome of the project. We randomly picked a fourth grade girl from the halls and asked her to tell us what she had learned working with the program.

"The child had prepared a series on how the earth was formed, the theories behind its creation.

" If a young mind had that com­paratively small amount of material available to her, imagine what the mature student could do with in­formation from one of the finest university libraries in the South­west."

But expansion is not the only matter with which R. C. Janeway deals. There are shelves to stock, schedules to arrange, special stu­dents with whom to counsel and any of a hundred other projects to con­sider in a day.

Texas Tech Library:

In his role as campus-wide co­ordinator, Janeway takes the time to aid blind students in finding braille books and funds to finance these books. This is no small chore when you consider a 15 volume braille dictionary alone costs about $345. Currently some 75 blind stu­dents have reading rooms in tem­porary buildings on campus. Jane­way hopes they will eventually be accomodated within the library.

Much goes into ordering books needed by the many campus dis­ciplines. The library is currently building contracts with book buying agencies. Though an expensive program, it results in excellent ser­vice in providing first publications of each new monogram. The agen­cies are responsible for obtaining copies, first editions of new books and needed older books, for the library. When using a good agency, the librarian does not worry that needed volumes will be missing from his shelves.

Of the requests from faculty members, only 3 per cent were not received in the company's blanket order this year. Only 45 per cent of those not received should have been, according to the library per­sonality profile.

thriving on diversity

PAGE SEVEN

Janeway is also working toward book contracts with Britain, Ger­many and France.

Tech's library is the second larg­est in the state, second only to the University of Texas. Some visiting professors from Texas have said that though it may not be bigger, it is better. Perhaps Janeway's attention to even small details has helped develop this overall excellence.

For example, much thought went into the choice of quality shelves for the stacks.

" If you've ever seen library shelves fall and domino, you realize how easily someone could be killed under the weight of books. We have the student's safety to consider."

Even the study tables in the library are specifically designed. In the old library Janeway had his assistants carefully measure the area

The lull of the fountains in the library offsets conversation and allows students to study undisturbed or chat without disturbing others. Xerox machines are provided for student convenience on all floors of the facility.

used by each student during a study period. After the survey, new tables were built accordingly. The library is staffed by 33 professional librar­ians, 38 full-time clerical em­ployees and about 100 student as­sistants. During the regular school term the library is open some I 03 hours a week and can be run on a skeleton staff of five staffers.

He doesn't take personal credit for the qualities that make the library a good study area. " It's up to the students to make the library what they want.

" In the old library (now the Social Science Building, housing government and history) the stu­dents complained of too much noise. Library personnel can't keep stu­dents quiet, so when the Student Senate came to me about the com­plaint, I told them the students

would have to want the library quiet. They passed the word and it worked," Janeway said.

"When we moved to the new building, the students bought the quiet atmosphere with them.

"It's really something. At the first of the year the library will be noisy, but by mid-term, upperclassmen have passed the traditional study atmosphere on to new students. It's a marvelous continuum."

Gone are the days of the studious, quiet, book-buried librarian. Today's university librarian is safety marshal, public relations man, service worker, architect and de­signer, systems manager, personnel director, efficiency expert . . . just name the job and the librarian probably carries it out in his day to day job ... that is, if he is a good librarian like R. C. Janeway.

B. J. Pevehouse: man, company

Call your broker. Ask him to key out ADOB. Your report may be "61,.4 to 6'12." Odds are, it may be higher. ADOB . .. that's brokerage talk for Adobe Corporation and Subsidiaries. If you are a Texas Tech Ex ... be interested . . . for that represents some 3,500 shares of stock which are now part of tihe financial support of the Texas Tech Ex-Students Association.

Adobe Corporation is synony­mous with the name of B. J. Peve­house. A 1948 graduate of Tech with a bachelor of science in geolo­gy, Pevehouse is now president and member of the board of directors of Adobe in Midland. He has just donated a total of 5,000 shares of common stock and I ,000 shares of Class A stock to the Texas Tech Loyalty Fund. The Ex-Students Association has directed 2,500 of those shares to the Texas Tech Foundation.

"I just decided we had enough stock that I could put it to use," said Pevehouse. ..1 ca"Ded Tom

" I called Tom and Keith (Tom

PAGE TEN

Wurster, '65, immediate past presi­dent of the Midland Exes, and Keith Anderson, Association's Athletic Council rep.) and said, "We're gonna lay it on Texas Tech now for all the years we cussed them when they were losing at football.!" And lay it on Joe Pevehouse has, with Adobe Corporation stock, that if liquidated would amount to some $37,500 for the Association Loyalty Fund and the Tech Foundation.

But, B. J. Pevehouse is not a man to boast about such a donation. In fact, he's rather shy about the whole matter and prefers that you scrutin­ize his company, rather than the man that made it. "I've never had the cash to give away, but now I have all this stock. Sure, everybody gives a $100 or $1 ,000 a year because they think they should. When you have a gift of company stock like this, it serves two pur­poses: it benefits Tech and it's a legal deduction for the company. We both benefit."

Adobe was born in 1960. Said Pevehouse, "We started in '60 with,

I suppose, four employees, and then we discovered the Barstow Field in '68 and the Sale Ranch Field about 1969. It took many, many years, but that's the back­bone of the company."

In 1969 Adobe Corporation was formed, combining Adobe Oil Com­pany, its subsidiary Adobe In­vestment Corporation, and the owners of various oil and gas in­terests for which Adobe Oil acted as operator. The corporation stock, now selling for about $7 a share, began in September 1970 at $4 a share. Corporation headquarters are in Midland.

The two key fields are the Bar­stow Gas Field in Ward County, producing 75 million cubic feet of gas daily, and the Sale Ranch area in Martin County. The Barstow Fusselman Gas Field has four completed producers and five re­maining locations for wells. 68 gross (20 net) oil wells in the Sale Ranch area have also been drilled. The company presently owns 19,000 acres of undeveloped leases in this

THE TEXAS TECHSAN

field and 80 per cent of a gasoline plant which began processing about five million cubic feet of casinghead gas per day in November 1970.

The company also owns 3,200 acres with five miles of frontage on the White River in Independence County, Ark. Discussions are underway with land developers looking toward a resort community there.

The foreign properties in Ecuador and Kenya, currently under develop­ment, have a color all their own, best told by Pevehouse in his slow, comfortable manner.

"The people of Ecuador are very friendly. They have practically no oil production and have to import, so they would love for us to find them oil at home.Ecuador is a crude­poor nation, as are Kenya and Somalia in Africa where we also have land. They need oil, and they're nice to us. Now, we don't go into Libya or Venezuala, the older, richer nations, because they get kind of mean!"

Joe Pevehouse is not the only Tech Ex in the Adobe picture. As a matter of fact, there are seven Tech Exes employed by the cor­poration. James W. Lacy, '49, is the executive vice president, and M. D. Rogers, '50, is vice president of production. Two geologists, John

AUGUST, 197 1

W. Wood Jr., '52, and Archie B. Cockburn, '49, and an accounting department stenographer, Dana Beard, '69, are all part of the Raider roster at Adobe. The newest Tech­san on staff is controller Tom Wurster, '65, who joined the com­pany just this June.

Has Pevehouse got a special eye for Tech Exes? "No, not really. We've got some employees from Oklahoma University, Texas and the like, but I naturally lean to the guys I know. Rogers and I have been friends since we were 14 years old. We went to high school together in Denver City. Lacy and the rest, I met at Tech."

His two children aren't neces­sarily Tech bound. It's their choice, says Pevehouse. ''I'm not going to force them. Right now the girl, 14, wants to go to John Tarleton State and be a cowgirl. The boy, I I, might want to go to Texas A&M, but he doesn't know. The colleges and the kids will all be changed by then."

Well, what is the secret to B. J . Pevehouse, that part of his personal­ity that makes him easy to talk to, eager to please, reserved but con­fident? Maybe it's best said in his philosophy about "small towns" like Midland and Lubbock. "Have you ever seen much trouble in small towns where you have cowboys?

West Texas is made up of country people, people who live in country towns like Midland and Lubbock. Tech has a big agricultural school. That cuts out problems like you have in Austin."

Is Adobe a one man corporation? Pevehouse's answer is a vehe­

ment"No! It never was one. In the beginning we had an engineer, a geologist and two girls--a total of five . Then some quit. Rogers, my secretary Mrs. Scott, and one old pumper are the oldest employes. There are none of the original five except for that one pumper and myself. The others came on about a year later. Putting this company together has been hard work, but it's been fun. "

But, the " fun" of B. J. Pevehouse has been not only a story of per­sonal success ; his success has meant a tangible gain for the Ex-Students Association and Texas Tech Uni­versity with the acquisition of the 6,000 shares of Adobe Corporation stock. May its market value go ever upward .. .

Junction:

Tech in the hill country

PAGE TWELVE

Texas Tech, already one of the larger campuses in the nation, will add another 411 acres this fall. Tech will accept and put into immediate use facilities near Junction which are being transferred to the uni­versity from Texas A&M University.

This will bring Tech's total acre­age to 16,070: 183 7 acres, campus proper; 13,822 acres, farmland; plus the Junction land.

Lying on the Llano River, the land lay varies from steep hill to river valley, open terrain and river bottom land. Pecan trees grow in abundance in the area, and wild turkey, deer, squirrels and other animals of Texas hill country live on the tract.

Governor Preston Smith signed legislation early in June transfer­ring the acreage and facilities just outside the city of Junction on the South Fork of the Llano River.

The transfer becomes effective with the new academic year Sept. 1; according to J . Wayland Bennett, assistant vice president of academic affairs.

"The opportunity to work in the Junction area with c itizens of Junc­tion and Kimble County is deeply appreciated by T exas Tech Uni­versity," said Dr. Gover E. Murray, T ech president.

" It has been reported to me that the people of Junction are anxious to have a year-round program, and I have already asked members of my staff to begin developing plans and programs to meet these desires."

The property now includes a one­story administration building, two classrooms both of asbestos siding, and other facilities similar to nation­al park areas for housing students.

There are also volleyball courts, baseball fields and other recreation­al facilities and a natural swimming area.

After Sept. I , Texas Tech will begin a major renovation program with installation of additional heat­ing facilities, air conditioning and other improvements, said Bennett.

Dr. S. M. Kennedy, vice president for academic affairs, said the Uni­versity " is exploring a number of academic activities including in­stitutes, conferences, seminars, and courses, including year-round classroom instruction. Any pro­gram or activities we establish will be designed to benefit the Junction area," he said.

"We feel there are tremendous opportunities there and we intend to explore all the possibilities for effective participation in Junction," Kennedy said.

Bennett pointed out that reno­vation and improvement of facilities must be the first major steps to be taken in the establishment of an off-campus education center at Junction to serve area residents.

" Planning and development will come over a period of time as we ascertain from residents of the Junction, Kimble County and Cen­tral Texas areas their desires and needs," he said.

Bennett said the facilities at Junc­tion, expecially after renovation, would lend themselves to many academic areas, such as graduate level courses in education; biology and geology field studies at both undergraduate and graduate levels; wildlife management studies; sum­mer study workshops in art and summer band camps and cheer­leaders schools and workshops sponsored by student government and student organizations.

Other possibilities included re­search and educational reports and base operations for research related to control and eradication of nox­ious brush and weeds; work in the areas of natural fibers; seminars, short courses and workshops in human and veterinary medicine; continued educational programs in the agricultural sciences for youth and adults, and faculty retreats.

" Many other uses, with experi­ence, will probably evolve," Bennett said, " but major renovations will be required first to make this a func­tional, continuing education center."

BOB BREWSTER Sports Information Assistant

If pre-season prognostications by the state's sportswriters are any indication, Texas Tech has a better chance than ever before of being in the Cotton Bowl on New Year's day as the Southwest Conference football kingpin.

Being in the Cotton Bowl is not completely unfamiliar with long­time followers of Red Raider foot­ball fortunes, but it's not exactly a habit, either. The last time Tech played in the New Year's classic was in 1939 before anyone in Lub­bock even thought about the letters swc.

Since entering the conference in 1960 as a football competitor the Raiders have come close a couple of times, but the big crown has eluded Tech's grasp. This year, however, the powers that be in the SWC rate Tech right up there with the big boys, Texas and Arkansas.

Most of the predictors pick it

PAGE FOURTEEN

this way for 1971: Texas out front (as usual); Tech and Arkansas only a short step away; TCU and Texas A&M rate as dark horses and the rest of the league is at least a year away.

Cotton Bowl talk for any team right now borders on the ridiculous though. First, there are two-a-day drills which start in the middle of August and then, for ·some of the conference teams, a rather murder­ous intersectional schedule before the family wars begin.

Speaking of the SWC family, two new coaches have been added since last fall, which makes Tech's Jim Carlen no longer the newest face in the league. Jim Pittman, a man who brought Tulane from nowhere to a Liberty Bowl win last year, is the new coach at Texas Christian, re· placing Fred Taylor. Rice also has a new head man, Bill Peterson, who left a very successful program at Florida State to join the SWC.

For Tech, the early going will not be easy. First comes Pittman's old, but nonetheless powerful Tulane

team. The Green Wave sports an 8-4 record from last year (the same as Tech's) and a new coach, but many of the same players wh0 helped upset Colorado in the 1970 Liberty Bowl. Tulane's new head man, Bennie Ellender, will greet the Raiders in the heat and humidity of New Orleans on September l I. From there on in, regular season play for Tech won't end until November 20.

Next comes New Mexico in Lubbock, where area fans will try to break the attendance record for a home opener for the third straight year. Last year against Tulane, 43,250 filed through the gates for the first home game and in 1969, 42,250 saw the opener with Kansas. More importantly, the Raiders will be facing a strong New Mexica squad with 20 of its 22 starters back from a club that went 7-3 last year.

When those two battles are be­hind them, the Raiders will con­centrate their energies on getting ready for Texas, a team favored to win the SWC title for the fourth year

THE TEXAS TECHSAN

in a row. Some are predicting that early-season game as the one that could decide the championship, even though it is the first conference game of the year. It will be played in Austin at 4 p.m. on Sept. 25, and the team that is able to beat the heat may be the one that wins.

After the Texas game, Tech travels to Tucson for a game with Arizona on regional television be­fore settling down to conference wars. The Raiders will also be on regional TV when they play South­ern Methodist October 23 in Dallas. Homecoming will be the Rice game Oct. 30.

The big question Carlen hopes to answer in the very early going is in the defensive line. Major personnel losses at tackle make the line a bit shaky, with inexperienced players holding down starting jobs. Jim Shaffner and Davis Corley, who were defenisve ends last year, will be the tackles. Donald Rives is a solid middle guard and Harold Hurst and Andy Lowe are listed at ends.

AUGUST, 1971

The rest of the defense, line­backers and secondary backs, is solid with returning veterans. Larry Molinare, an All-SWC pick last year, will man one linebacker slot while veteran Mike Watkins holds down the other. Returning starter and All-SWC Ken Perkins leads the secondary, along with defensive captain Dale Rebold and Bruce Bushong, a standout from last year. The remaining secondary spot will be filled by either senior Marc Dove or sophomore standout Ken­neth Wallace.

On offense, the line is solid and the running game will again, like last year, be the team's strong point. Veteran Charles Napper returns to guide the attack with improved receivers to throw to and at least four good running backs in his stable. Doug McCutchen, the 1970 Sophomore of the Year in the SWC, leads the ground assault, along with Miles Langehennig. In reserve will be senior John Kleinert and sophomore James Mosley. The best of Napper's receivers will be Johnny

Odom, a senior who has been pro­jected for stardom this year, Robby Best and Harry Case.

A talented crop of sophomores from last year's undefeated fresh­man team will also be on hand to lend aid. Some are already at or near starting positions but, as Carlen says: "You can't tell about a sopho­more until you see him in a game. He has to prove himself that way." This year, it looks like quite a few may get a chance to do just that. Joe Barnes and Jimmy Carmichael will battle for the number two quarterback job in the fall, and Barnes will probably be used some at runningback. Other top sophs are defensive linemen George Herro and Tony Gorman, receivers Andre Tillman and Calvin Jones, Wallace and Mosley.

If some unproven players come through on the defensive front, the passing game improves, and some sophomores become pleasant sur­prises, the Red Raiders may make a strong big for a New Year's date in Dallas.

Aviatrix Margaret Mead, Texas Tech Ex-Student and two-time win­ner of the all-woman Powder Puff Air Derby, was one of the few Americans and the only woman entered in the transoceanic Great Air Race in July from London, England, to Victoria, Canada.

Miss Mead's fascination with fly­ing is probably why her degree in biological sciences from Texas Tech has never been put to much use. Flying has been her vocation since 1963 and her avocation since she was a 12-year-old, ditching school to beg free rides from sympathetic pilots in Texas.

The young, attractive, thoroughly feminine aviatrix is one of only four to have won the Powder Puff Derby twice. She first accomplished

PAGE SIXTEEN

the feat in 1968 in a I 0-year-old, wood wing, fabric-covered tail­wheel Bellanca.

The Powder Puff Derby is an all-woman transcontinental com­petition, the most regularly run air race in the world.

In 1970, with actress Susan Oliver as copilot, Miss Mead flew her Virginia Slims-sponsored plane called "You've Come A Long Way, Baby" to victory to become the fourth two-time winner in the Derby's 25 year history.

Miss Mead had three back-to­hack wins going into the Great Air Race: the '70 Derby; the Palms to Pines Air Race with Trudy Cooper, wife of Astronaut Gordon Cooper as copilot; and the Pacific Air Race with writer Penny Anderson in the

right seat. Her copilot for the Great Air

Race was Fran Bera. Both Margaret and Fran have been aircraft sales­women and consultants and are highly respected pilots.

Their plane for the race, a 1971 Piper Aztec E, normally has six seats, but just barely had room for two because space was made for extra fuel tanks.

To save every inch and pound they can, the pilots wore hot pants, actually cooler than slacks or dresses they'd usually wear. No fancy trimmings ... "Gasoline was more important than false eye­lashes."

The Great Air Race covered a distance of 5,851 miles and was part of British Columbia's Centennial

~ecomea

THE TEXAS TECHSAN

celebration. Prize money totals $175,000 with first place receiving $50,000.

Miss Mead, who became a li­censed pilot in 1961, has earned various flying ratings including private, commercial, flight in­structor, multi-engine, instruments, instrument flight instructor, ad­vanced instrument ground instruc­tion, single engine sea plane, airline transport pilot and solo helicopter.

Margaret, born in Amarillo, is the youngest of three children of Maida and Ben Carlton Mead, noted Southwestern historian and artist.

In 1961, she moved to California and there earned her private license at Brackett Field in Pomona. She worked days as a dispatcher in a Cessna dealer's office in Riverside

AUGUST, 1971

and evenings waxing planes at an aircraft maintenance shop to obtain extra money for flying.

She entered her first Powder Puff Derby race in 1962 as copilot with Maurine Leonard and come in 24th in a Cessna 175.

"We didn't really try to win," Margaret explained. "We competed for every lap prize offered and took home more money than the winner."

The prize money helped Margaret to obtain her commercial pilot's license the next year. In 1964 she obtained her instrument and instru­ment flight instructor certificates, received a multi-engine rating and earned an A TR certificate to be­come the 56th woman in the world to do so.

Miss Mead decided to leave her

post as sales manager for a Piper dealer in 1969. That year, she had sold more than $600,000 worth of new and used aircraft.

In 1970 she became affiliated with Virginia Slim Cigarets, flying their sponsored planes in aircraft with their theme, "You've Come A Long Way, Baby."

"When I started flying, I had no intention of making it a profession. I soon found out though that the only way I could afford to fly as much as I wanted to was to earn my living at it," said Miss Mead.

And fly she has. No, she has no superstitions about winning races, though she carries a tiny charm a friend gave her. It reads " Let it shine," wishing for clear weather all the way.

Third-year law students at Texas Tech and all other Texas law schools will find a new mode of edu­cation opening when they return to school in the fall. A new law passed by the Texas Legislature eventually will permit law students to gain actual courtroom ex­perience under the direction of licensed attorneys. The principle is the same as that of physician and intern.

Third-year law students will be allowed, under the supervision of a licensed attorney and with the judge's approval, to participate in court cases. This would not only give actual courtroom experience to students but would also allow better representation for the indigent.

Getting the legislation passed was no easy chore and much of its success can be attributed to Jeffrey Wentworth, former president of the Texas Tech Bar Association and chairman of the Texas Model Court Rule Committee. Wentworth enlisted the help of num­erous lawyers, legislators and newspaper editors along the way.

"Do you realize that before this bill was passed, you could be going into court with a 'practicing at­torney' who had never tried a case in his life?". Went­worth explained. "It's sort of like going into an operat­ing room with a doctor who has never taken out an

appendix even under an experienced doctor's super­vision."

The bill allowing student work, was introduced by Sen. Charles Herring and was passed unanimously in the Senate April 15.

It was sent to the House and for the next month and a half the bill 's path winds along many a mile of political red tape. The bill was finally passed in the House on third reading on the last night of the legis­lature. The Senate concurred in House amendments just minutes before final adjournment at midnight. Gover­nor Preston Smith signed the bill on June 7.

A committee composed of five State Bar members and four Junior Bar members will establish rules and regulations for the program.

All but one of the Texas law school deans sup­ported the bill. Dean Charles Galvin of Southern Methodist already had a program allowing second and third year students to work within the courts, and did not support the bill becuase it would eliminate work by his second year students.

Texas is the 33rd state to allow her law school graduates the possibility of sound, practical experience, under careful supervision, in the courtroom.

Gov. Presion Smirh signs S.B. 66 which aurhorizes rhe writing of rules and regulations to permit law students in Texas to assist I icensed attomeys in the trial of cases under supervi.1ion. Looking on are Sen. Charles Herring of Austin, author of tht bill; Jeffrey Wentworth of San Antonio, chairman of tht Texas Model Court Rule Committee and immediate past president of the Texas Tech Student Bar A ssociation; James Greenwood Ill of Houston, president of the State Junior Bar of Texas; and State R ep. Nelson Wolff of San A ntonio, Houst sponsor of the bill. The bill becomes law September / , 1971.

Regents set budget The Texas Tech Board of Regents

recently approved a $3 million spending boost, to $46,4 72,100 for the fiscal year beginning Sept. I. Operating expenses for the main university were pegged at $44,083,658, while the School of Medi­cine was authorized to spend $2,146,387. The museum will operate on a $242,055 budget.

Administrative officials have been instructed to work with in those figures to prepare detailed budgets for approval, according to Chairman Frank Junell of San Angelo.

Educational and general funds ap­propriated by the Legislature in the amount of $27,702,503 are included in the main university budget. Auxil iary enterprises such as intercollegiate at hletics, the university bookstore and the un iversity center, are self-supporting and account for another $12,7 17,358. Revolving funds, restricted funds and agency funds account for the remainder.

Dr. Grover E. Murray, president, has said that one particularly bright spot is the fact that "residence hall operation appears to be on the upswing." Dormi­tories will be "essentially full" this fall he predicted, and should be financially successful.

G. C. Gardner, vice president for financia l affairs, said the administration and the regents actually could exercise "discretion" over less than 10 per cent of the budget. This is because of legislative line items and other commitments to specific programs.

Murray said Tech 's average class size will grow slightly, and the number of new teachers which can be hired after making allowances for promotions will be minimal.

Tech was "treated essentially the same as other major institutions" in this year's appropriations, Murray said.

The board has also formalized a policy under which only regularly scheduled air carriers may provide chartered flights for official university groups such as athletic teams, Air taxi services may be used, however, when the group is small enough.

The medical school, although the first students won't be enrolled for another year, will be assembling a faculty this fall with an instructional budget of $1,444,541. Other major items in the spending will include $380,000 for

PAGE TWENTY

general administrat ion, $205,925 for book acqu isitions and $43 ,500 for other library expenses.

Tech Gets 'Buffaloed' Graduate students working toward a

master's degree in animal science from Texas Tech University can now com­plete almost half thei r required course work at West Texas State University in Canyon under· a new cooperative agree­ment between the two institutions.

The purpose of this cooperative plan is to offer a superior program of graduate study in agriculture by bringing together the faculties and facilities of these two universities, according to Dr. Thomas A. Langford, interim dean of the Tech graduate school, and Dr. James Roberts graduate school dean at West Texas. '

The degree will be awarded by Texas Tech and requirements for the master's degree in an imal science at Tech will apply, "except where modification is necessary to implement the intent of the program," said Langford.

The student's advisory committee will consist of members of both facult ies with the chairman from Texas Tech: The student may take up to 12 hours of course work at West Texas. Although research may be done at either institution, the student must enroll for the thesis at Texas Tech, to be sub­mitted for final approval by the Tech graduate dean.

Pointi ng out that this agreement is a first in the establishment of such cooper­ative undertakings between the two universities, Dr. Anson R. Bertrand, dean of the Tech College of Agricultural Sciences, said it offers "perhaps even more exciting potential as the basis for establis~ing many more similar pro­grams, some of which are already in preliminary planning stages."

Coed becomes Cotton Maid Cynthia Cates, a 19-year-old Texas

Tech sophomore from Roswell, was chosen Miss New Mexico Maid of Cotton for this year.

Miss Cates, a 5-8~ . 140 lb. F rench and English major at Tech, will receive $400 to apply to her wardrobe for the national finals in Memph is, Tenn., in December as well as a $500 scholarship.

Miss ~ates is a member of Alpha Delt_a P1 and performed in the Uni­versity production of "The Magic Flute." She was also a member of the Ideas and Issues Committee of the Tech Uni­versity Center and pledge officer of her sorority.

Gulf quakes measured It's a rare day without an earthquake.

Some are disastrous. Most are not and it is by measuring the every day shudder­ing of the earth that scientists are helped to "see" the make-up of the earth.

By using earthquake waves, a Texas T:Ch University geoscientist is "looking at the floor of the Gulf of Mexico, hid­den by water and thousands of feet of sediment.

Prof. Deskin H. Shurbet explained that scientists have never ·been able to deci~e whether the Gulf is collapsed contment or ponded ocean, raised to its relatively shallow depth by upl ifted ISlands and by rivers dumping sediment into it for past eons.

He says there is evidence that the Texas coast was part of the Gulf, covered by as much as I ,000 fa thoms of water before sediment formed a natural land­fill now dotted with cities.

Shurbet and a graduate student, ~eorge Keller, have set up a seismolog­Ical system which will be moved periodi­call y until it has made recordings all along the Texas coast. Cooperating with them now are Pan American Uni­versity at Edinburg, Laredo Junior Col­lege and the University of Corpus Christi and Victoria College.

Seismographs located at each of these institutions record waves from earth­quakes around the world. Three or four occur each day, Shurbet said, and "it's a rare day without at least one."

T he velocity at which the waves travel along the earth's crust and upper mantel and other characteristics recorded by the seismograph differ according to tbe material through which they move.

The earth's crust on an ocean floor, he explained, is different from the con­tinental crust. If the G ulf floor is like continental crust, it would mean that the Gulf is collapsed land. If the floor material is like the oceanic crust, it would mean that the G ulf is ponded ocean.

T HE TEXAS TECHSAN

With the results of the seismo­graphic records, Shurbet said, he should be able to draw "a real layer cake picture" of the earth along the coast. .The picture would be one piece of the geologic puzzle of earth history. · Shurbet is director of the Texas Tech University Seismological Observatory which operates through the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey as a part of the worldwide Seismological Network.

Reception to honor retiring faculty, staff

All retiring faculty and staff members of Texas Tech University will be honored at a reception Sept. 27 from 7 to 9 p.m. in The Ex-Students Association home. Ex-students, faculty and friends of the honorees are invited to attend the re­ception. Last year some 300 people attended the annual reception.

Tech vs. national frosh The entering Texas Tech University

freshmen last fall were more sports­minded, traveled farther from home to attend and came from homes of a higher educational level than students attend­ing hundreds of other institutions in the United States.

These facts were obtained from an American Council on Education ques­tionnaire taken by a sample of 1800 Tech freshmen and comparable samples of freshmen in colleges and universities across the United States.

Recently results were sent back to the participating institutions with some in­teresting tabulations:

A larger percentage of Tech students, as compared to the national norm, had fathers who were farmers.

A larger percentage of Tech students are attending college on parental or family aid.

A larger percentage of Tech students are shooting for the bachelor's degree only.

More Tech students than the national norm are planning on majoring in business.

Both the Tech students and the nation­al norm agreed that the federal govern­ment should increase involvement in control of pollution, tax incentive to control birth rate, consumer protection, crime prevention and special benefits for veterans.

More than twice the percentage of the national norm over the Tech students agreed that capital punishment should be abolished.

More Tech students thought the bene­fit of college should be monetary than did the students from other reporting schools.

A larger percentage of Tech students agreed that the schools were too lax on student protests.

AUGUST, 1971

Fewer Tech students agreed with the national norm that college grades should be abolished.

More Tech students agreed that the college should have the right to ban speakers on campus.

Comparison on the current political preference between the Tech group and the national norm found that 1.1 per cent of the Tech students described themselves as "far left" as compared to the national norm of 3. 1 per cent.

Approximately 23.8 per cent of the Techsans said they were "conservative" as compared to the national norm of 16.5 per cent. And .6 per cent of the Tech students said they were "far right" as compared to the national norm of .7 per cent.

While the number of respondents is large, it is not the total freshmen popu­lation. The national percentages of students expressing opinions or engaging in activities identified by specific items in the questionnaire have been weighed systematically on a stratified basis in order to approximate the national student population distribution.

The Office of Research of the Ameri­can Council on Education has been engaged several years in a massive, longi­tudinal research program to sample attitudes and activities which will de-

scribe entering freshmen on a national and institutional level.

Luchsinger advises Army Vincent P. Luchsinger, professor and

chairman of the department of manage­ment in Tech's College of Business Administration, has been sworn in as a member of the U.S. Army Scientific and Management Advisory Committee.

This committee has been designated by the Secretary of the Army to "advise review designated scientific and manage­ment topics, and make recommendation to the commanding general regarding the execution of his functions and re­sponsibilities as developer of software and project manager for all information systems and multi-command data systems of the Army."

After swearing in of new members in Washington, D.C., the committee began its work at Ft. Belvoir, and meets here after on a quarterly basis.

"This effort represents an evolution of data system disciplines as a result of commerical, academic and military research and development," Dr. Luch­singer said. "A m~or thrust of the com­mittee will be guidance on the organiza­tional and behavioral implications of information systems."

Lieutenant Colonel William F. McCall has the Meritorious Service Medal pinned to his uniform by Colonel PMrick H. Henry during recent awards ceremony.

IN MEMORY OF: Edwin B. "Tubby" Vermillion, '%8

THE TEXAS TECHSAN

Huffman­Distinguished American

On the eve of the annual All­America game, one of Tech's living legends in terms of Red Raider foot­ball was honored by his peers. Coach Berl Huffman, now public relations director of the Ex-Students Association, received the Distin­:&uished American Award. The award goes to that individual who has carried the lessons learned on the football field into a life of serv­ice to the community.

The award was bestowed by the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame. Lewis N. Jones, dean of students and longtime friend of Huffman, presented the award.

Jones told of Coach Huffman's years at Tech as freshman football, varsity basketball and varsity track coach before World War II. In those years he lived in the athletic dormi­tory and to the athletes became "friend, father confessor and dis­ciplinarian." .

Following the war and after several years in New Mexico, Berl Huffman again came to Tech in the

AUGUST, 1971

1960's as freshman football and varsity baseball coach.

The qualities for which Huffman was dubbed Distinguished American are best stated in the closing words of Jones' presentation.

"Berl Huffman's greatness lies in his honesty, sincerity and complete devotion to youth. He champions the individual who is not afraid of hard work, who never compromises with defeat and who gives 100 per cent to the task at hand. He has no patience with a quitter. He stands by and with the ones, regardless of size or ability, who will not flinch in the face of adversity and who will give an account of themselves when the chips are down," Jones said.

"There is no doubt that Berl's early commitment to Christian beliefs has had a great bearing on his influence upon young men. Never one to back away from an issue, he is constantly encouraging young men to meet life 's issues head on, make the right decision, then plow a straight row to the end of the

field. Few men have been given a greater opportunity to be a positive influence of the finer qualities of life to young men and fewer yet have fulfilled that responsibility to a ful­ler measure. Testimony to this fact is evident by the scores who seek Berl's counsel and advise. The visit to the campus is never complete unless it includes some time spent with Berl.

"Although limited by a sight problem in the past year or so, his insight into today's challenges was never clearer. His many speaking engagement~ before people of all walks of life always reflect a dedi­cation to the principles that this nation was founded upon, and the belief that with moral courage these principles are being fulfilled. A simple philosophy of life that states clearly that things worth having are worth working for, regardless of the sacrifice demanded.

"Few inen merit this honor more than George Berl Huffman and none are more appreciative of it."
