At present there are 287 students enrolled in the agriculture department. The agriculture department is starting new Western Horsemanship classes. This semester was the first such class and it is available to all students. The agriculture deparments are uni- que and interesting. 210 The art department is lively and refreshing It offers students a chance to exhibit their talents. At A l there are 86 art majors and over 70 students who take art as an elective. Taking art as an elective allows for the students to release and forget about their pressures. The biology department is composed of 700 enthusiastic stu- dents. A good protion of which are directly involved in such events as milking rattlesnakes and dissecting mammals. If you ever have a free afternoon off, there is always something inter- esting happening. 212 Chemistry The aim of the chemistry department is three-fold: (1) To provide certain service courses for other depart- ments whose subject matter is based, in part, on the fun- damentals of chemistry; (2) to provide a cultural back ground for those who are interested in science and desire the B.S. or B.A. degree but do not expect to become professional chemists; (3) to provide proper training for those who wish to become professional chemists and work in industry. 213 214 Chew NGE Engineering J The engineering department is one of the best around. The department offers the most complete and exten- sive courses. Here at A I, the stu- dents who graduate with a degree in chemical or natural gas engineering are at the top of the lists. JLlYi t Economics 216 E.D.P. Accounting 2 Over 2600 students were involved in some type of education course. It seems that with experienced instructors and responsible stu- dents, together they create a great department. 218 _____________________;_______________________________________i The course of undergraduate instruction continues through four years of two semes- ters each. Emphasis is placed upon fundamen- tals and upon the humanities. An endeavor is made to impart a thorough grounding in mathematics, chemistry, and physics and at the same time give the students a general background in humanities and social sciences. The strictly engineering courses are designed to present general problems of design and operation of the different branches of engi- neering. Electrical Engineering 219 220 English Every student on campus, at one time or another, is enrolled in several semester hours of English. For the average student, its long, eyes- training hours of reading. When it’s all over and you turn in your final exam, it is a great feeling to know that one more semester of English has passed. This department con- sists of 250 enthusiastic students. All of the stu- dents are enrolled for the purpose of mastering some form of a business opera- tion. The experienced teachers and open-minded students create a great learning environment. General Business Geology Geography In keeping with the overall objectives of the University offerings in geography and geology are more sepecifically planned to meet the needs of: Those wishing an introduction to geogra- phy or desiring to major or minor in geog- raphy for cultural purpose. Those who plan training toward a career in geographic teaching and research. Those who plan a career with future serv- ice in governmental military, or private organizations. Those wishing to major or minor in geol- ogy. Tnose pursuing a teaching career in earth science. 222 223 224 Did you ever want to know what hap- pened on October 21, 1937? The history department with their depth in teach- ers will always be able to handle any such questions. Home Economics The Department of Home Economics provides opportunities for integrating experiences in the arts and sciences which are planned to assist in the development of the individuals as persons, as family members, and as world citizens.

Turner Takes NAIA and Most Valuable Player Awards Ed Turner, a sophomore forward, made the NAIA All American second team and was named the most valuable player in the Lone Star Conference. He is the first A I player to ever receive the Conference Honor, and he is the First Javalina to place high on an All American team in over a decade. Turner averaged 22.9 points and 13.8 rebounds a game, allowing him to lead the LSC in both categories. He has become the fifth player in history to sweep the top two individual categories in the league statistics. A I opened its basketball season with a 77-69 victory over the Finland National Team. In non-conference games, the Javelinas defeated Big State Conference Champions St. Mary’s University, Bishop, University of Sciences and Arts of Oklahoma, Texas Lutheran, Wisconsin-EauClaire, Central Arkansas, and Wayland Baptist. In conference play, the Javelinas lost their 10 games by close margins. Four of the A l players averaged in double figures. In addition to Turner, center Eric Staten had a 12.9 average; Kinzer had a 12.5 norm and guard Mike Escalante averaged 11.3 points a game. The young Javelina Men’s Basketball Team compiled a 13-13 record in 1978-1979, and they produced one of the top college division individuals in the nation. The squad finished fifth in the Lone Star Conference standings with a starting lineup that included all under- classmen much of the year. All in all, it wasn’t a bad year.

Mouttet took the season scoring title with 129-1 3 points. 285 Editor 'i, (JtoiLng While writing my thoughts on this final page, I cannot help but wonder about the experience I have gone through in compiling this yearbook. Serving as the El Rancho Editor for 1978-1979 has meant a great deal of work. It has meant working under constant pressure, worrying about problems that always arose, and working late at nights. Throughout the year I've had my share of countless sleepless nights and of trying to attend my classes the following mornings. Despite all the hard work encountered, I have also enjoyed my job. Being Editor proved to be very beneficial as I had the opportunity to learn more than the fundamentals of producing a yearbook, and I also learned to be a teacher, an administrator, and a guidance counselor. When I first took office early in October, I had very little experience, and I lacked the proper knowledge to produce a yearbook. My main concern after taking office was to acquaint myself with my job and responsibilities. It was my respon- sibility to guide and direct my staff to the work that lay ahead, and this came to be a challenge on my part. The El Rancho goals were set in producing an award winning yearbook, but as time went on, things started to fall apart. Most of the problems the El Rancho encountered this year were due to staff difficulties. Even though we met vari- ous difficulties along the way, the rest of the staff held together and tried very hard to produce a yearbook that would be appealing to the students of this university. As a Senior, I would like to thank my staff (those who have stuck with me) for their part in the production of the El Rancho. I will not list the names of these people because they are my friends, and they know who they are. Also, I would like to thank the following people for their help. Bob Allen-----Photographic Center Fred Nuesch------News Service Center Charlie Whites-----Taylor Publishing Company Representative Dr. James H. Herring------Student Publications Advisor In closing, I am grateful to the people of this university for having afforded me this privilege and would like to wish Mark Leyton much success in the production of the 1980 El Rancho. 288
