The Tech Museum included ex- hibits on the southplains, a plan- etarium, and facilities for guest speakers. Photo by Art Alvarez Why Tech? Now several young per- formers are posed to make a name for themselves as well. Groups like the Planets, No Compromise and The Nelsons all have some roots that can be traced back to Lubbock and appear to be ready to make it big in the world of music. Probably the best example of this is the Nelsons, who recently found their way onto MTV, attracting several fa- vorable reviews. Besides music Lubbock is the center for most of-the other major cultural events that take place on the South Plains. During the last year Lubbock resi- dents were able to see the mime talents of Marcel Marceau, the Broadway flash of West Side Story and Evita, the grace of the Peggy Willis Ballet Com- pany of the Conservatory of Classic Ballet, the thrill The three residence halls that make up the Wiggins complex are some of the nicest on the Tech campus. Photo by Darrel Thomas of Madame Butterfly and the humor of artists like Bob Hope. These events gave those living here the opportunity to enjoy the finest in entertainment. Lubbock natives could also be proud of the fine work done by their city leaders on beautifying the area in which they live. Af- ter a 40-page narrative out- lining their plans was presented to the Beautify Texas Council, the city re- ceived the prestigious Texas Governor ' s Commu- nity Achievement Award for trying to make Lubbock the prettiest city in Texas. What made the award even more important was that Lubbock competed against all the cities in Texas with over 60,000 residents, including Dal- las, Houston, San Antonio and others. So while Lub- bock and the South Plains may not have the reputa- tion of being Fun City, U.S.A., Lubbock and the surrounding area give Tex- ans a good place to spend their college years. So the next time that someone asks you why anybody in their right mind would want to spend four years in Lubbock and at Tech, . . . just tell them. — Sid Lowe 18 — Lubbock, Tech, the Southplains
