TAPS 1976gotofftoashakystart,butthestaffandl hope that you enjoy the final product. Our original plans called for TAPS to be divided into sections in a magazine style and distributed every month. How- ever, late planning, hassles with the administration, lack of money and time, and staff problems forced us to go back to the single-book format. What was needed was a format that could be adapted to in- clude student activities along with the standard group shots and class pictures. We think that we have found this adaptable style with this year ' s TAPS. Also, we wanted a book that would keep the student in- terested and would provide a broader range of coverage of campus activities. You will find this TAPS substantially different from those of the past. The book was produced in such a way that recorded the year and was not just a col lec- tion of snapshots. With this the Bicentennial year, we wanted to depict the past, but in a way other than the standard patriotic view. We decided to give the stu- dent a view of the campus in the past, with the life- styles and traditions that existed as they were seen in old times. We were able to obtain material from as far back as 1898. We hope you enjoy our effort. We apologize for the quality of some of the photographs, but it is technically difficult to reproduce old pictures. An attempt was made in the student life section to show the everyday events that any student experi- ences outside the classroom. We had to keep categories fairly broad because of a lack of space, but we hope we have included the usual activities of an average student. Since the purpose of the University is learning, there is a larger academic section than in the past. A Uni- versity of this size is very diverse and we tried to show this diversity in the academic program and the stu- dent ' s role in it. Many things happen in research and in the classrooms that few students know about. I hope you take the time to look and read this section as I think you will enjoy it. When a student looks through the TAPS, he is usually only interested in group shots which he is a part of. For this reason, we condensed all group shots and put them along with the class pictures into one section. In this records section, you will find all organizations, Greeks, and individual photographs. We apologize if we have left anything or anyone out, or if someone was not named on the credits page. If you would like to see something in next year ' s TAPS that was left out this year, please come by the TAPS office and talk to next year ' s staff. I would also like to thank Dean Cox for his help with TAPS ' prob- lems, and The R. L. Bryan Co. and Sandy Allred for understanding the difficulties of putting together the material for a yearbook. Also, special thanks to all the parents of staff members, especially my own, for their understanding. R. Scott Myers Editor-in-Chief
