THE PRESS GAYLE MACHEN NOLL Responsibility: informing students. By Carolene English With coed Gayle Machen Noll in the editor ' s chair, The Daily Toreador moved at a rapid pace this year. Probably synonymous with the word Toreador this school year were the words name change. The Toreador crusaded in true journalistic fashion for the change of the name of Texas Tech, and when it finally got a name from the Board of Directors, crusaded against that choice. Supporting the name Texas State University, as op- posed to the Board ' s Texas Tech Uni- versity, the paper carried on an edi- torial campaign that might have made some of the old masters jealous. But the board was bigger than both the Toreador and the protesting stu- dents, and the proposed Texas Tech University was finally approved for presentation to the Texas Legislature. Even then the Toreador didn ' t give up, and the paper came out with a sugges- tion to students to talk to their state representatives — and, to prove Its sin- cerity, proceeded to publish names of all the Texas legislators. The Toreador crusaded for other changes, too — a change In the school song and a change In the closed Pan- hellenic meetings. Neither was too suc- cessful In accomplishments, but Mrs. Noll made a door-busting reputation for herself. The Toreador was serious in its aims and plunged forward. The second se- mester was punctuated by a much-ac- claimed extra edition on the new en- trance marker and fountain that be- came even more extra when the Board made its unexpected final decision on the name change. Delving deep into some of the prob- lems of the Tech campus, the Toreador explored the Interfraternlty Council and the Tech fraternity system In a series by Cecil Green, Civil Defense on the Tech campus In three articles by Carolene English, and In an unfinished series on Tech mores and morals writ- ten by staff members. The last article In the series dealt with sex and the Tech coed, a researched and docu- mented article that startled the naive and made the awares chuckle. De- spite protests concerning the article and Its Implications, the edition would have been a sellout if Toreadors weren ' t already free.
