Martin, Ellis, Mimms Who's boss? A letter from the PUBLISHER fg , WZ' IT ALL BEGAN as an idea of Professor W. E. Garets'-a yearbook in magazine style. Some liked the ideag some did not! The first big question was how do you get a student body to accept so drastic a change in the tradition-bound yearbook format? We took the idea to the Student Council. After compromises and modifications the pres- ent book evolved. But even with the basic plan there was still the problem of getting the various organiza- tions to accept the idea. Some caught the spirit of this new approach to the yearbook with the greatest of enthusiasmg others re- mained adamant and resisted. I Actually this volume of LA VENTANA is not what we had hoped it might be. It is not in the true magazine style but rather a mixture of standard yearbook and magazine ap- proachfi If it did nothing else, however, we do hope that those who were unable to visualize this magazine format can now see, and that they -like the many wonderful ones who did see -will help us carry out this magazine format to the original concept in years to come. With all its faults, this book has many strong points in its favor. We sincerely be- lieve that it better represents Texas Tech than have past yearbooks. Further, we know that our staff members--while long-suffering and overworked-have enjoyed publishing this book more than any other in recent history. This is in reality what was behind Professor Garets' dream-a yearbook which would not only better tell the story of our campus in pic- ture and story, but one which would offer a valuable field of training in the magazine field for journalists of the future. The magazine-style yearbook is one which can become a showcase for the creative talents of all Tech students-creative in that it can be an exhibition hall for varied talents from artistic and photographic to the literary. Certainly the publishers and editors of the national magazines which granted us permis- sion to use their formats were far-sighted. To them we are grateful.

It took a large staff to publish this book. More, it took the creative talents of stu- dents in every organization on campus to come up with .original ideas for their particu- lar layouts. We are also indebted to Ray Tibbetts, Los Angeles commercial artist, who came to Lub- bock and helped us with original planning. We are hopeful that this edition of LA VEN- TANA will bring many pleasant hours to Tech students both now and in years to come. If the book pleases you, and if it has at least some semblance of a fresh approach from the stereotyped yearbook pattern, we have accom- plished our aim. DEX The Theatre T... . . .
