EL RANCHO Texas A I University Kingsville Texas 78363 Volume 60 TEXAS AM UNIVERSITY Through The Years I'm sure everyone has used or heard the frequent expression, “If these walls could talk ' If the walls of Man- ning Hall could talk, they would tell stories they have absorbed for sixty years. They have heard of fads and the fashions, the sounds of war time and the sounds of peace time, the joy of students and the sorrow of others. The first buildings on campus such as: Seal Hall, Cousins Hall, and others are no longer used for their original purpose. Manning Hall is one of the few exceptions. In 1925 students cele- brated the opening of Texas College of Arts and Industries. In 1985 we cele- brated Texas A I University's 60th Anniversary. Today we see the drastic and not so drastic changes in our school. Like the saying goes “Some things are best left alone ' However because A I has enlarged through the years, new buildings and additions are completed almost every year. In sixty years from now you and I will have been a page of the history of A I like those of the past we will be the history makers. Early photos of Texas A I. 2 Table Of Contents A common view- College Hall in the 1930's and in 1985, Open page 4 Activities page 15 Sports page 38 Organizations page 60 Administration Faculty page 94 Classes page 114 Closing page 135 Do you recognize any of these scenes? People some- times become accustomed to paved walks and conve- nient shortcuts. These photographs were taken on cam- pus and are a part of our school environment. Unfortu- nately, only those who can take time to appreciate na- ture can actually see the beauty offered at Texas A I. 5 6 Something for Everyone a release from homework. The build- ing is 35 years old and is specifically for the students at A I. In the SUB there are many features such as the game room, and the bookstore. The University Bookstore was opened in 1949. The Garden Lounge and the Vendetta Room are new areas where comfortable furniture provides a place to unwind. The Tejas Room is still a cafeteria but this year a new food ser- vice, SAGA, provides a better selec- tion of meals and a nice environment. The food service also introduced a piz- za place. And finally the PUB is the real place to forget about a routine week of homework. Good food, mu- sic, beverages, and friends add to the abmience of the SUB. Love at first sight! Fubar, a visitor at A I, shows his affection toward Donna Gomez. New food services, SAGA, now provides daily specials and a new envi- ronment at campus cafeterias. Through the Cactus Room window you might see Tere Sanchez and Luis Sarcgdo studying. Through the years A I's students have had access to a wide array of educational opportunities. One of the reasons our students became well-rounded and successful was be- cause of the resources available to the students at our li- brary. Like the metamorphasis which occurs in a student's college life, so were the changes our bookbarn endured. Sixty years ago (1925) Texas A I's first library occupied only one first floor wing of what is now Manning Hall. (It contained less than 6,000 books). Twenty-six years later (1951), the library was moved to College Hall. The Book population escalated to 110,000 books. The abundance of magazines, books, reference resources, etc., started to be- come crowded. To meet its students needs, in 1968 the Jernigan Library was established as Texas A I's new knowledge center. A kaleidoscope of students, VIPs and area visitors have used the library. The library has been a trusted source of knowl- edge and is considered to be one of A I's major achieve- ments. Recently in 1984, A I added yet another plateau for learn- ing with the completion of its third floor. The new floor makes 45,000 square feet available to students for a micro- computer facility, viewing rooms, media production room, faculty and group rooms, and a seminar room. Also avail- able to students are 15 IBM, 15 Apple II-E, and 6 Radio Shack TRS-80 computers. The center also has pronters, plotters, and a broad reane of software. Students are enthu- siastic about the new equipment and they are becoming more interested daily. The third floor was officially opened with a dedication ceremony honoring James A. Michener, Pultizer Prize winning author. The Library Adds On 8 Our foreign friend K.C. Chan studies using the new IBM Computer in order to make his homework a snap! Our Library Changes Through The Ages 9 At the third floor's opening ceremony students gathered for autographs with Pulitzer Prize winner James Michener. A I Band Plays With Pride These young ladies must stay in precise time with each other, therefore, many hours of practice is needed. The drum major must keep the percussion section in time as well as the rest of the band. 10 Dr. Alan Whiston has been doing an outstanding job of producing fine bands to entertain students and oth- ers. Dr. Whiston has brought pride to the J.L. Bellamah Music Building and to A l. The colorguard is always im- pressive. The Javelina Band has intro- duced a new look for the Highlights. This year the Highlights danced on to the field in bright and glittery uni- forms. The drum major helped to keep the band in time with his sharp directing. In three years, Dr. Whiston has doubled the band in size to a current 128 members. After football season. Dr. Whiston begins rehearsing band members for the concert season. The summer is also a busy time in which new shows are coordinated and new band members are recruited. top left: The first Music Conservatory on campus could not begin to accomodate the needs of the 1985 band. above: A step in time adds to the Javelina Marching Band as the Highlights perform enthusiastically. 11 The flag corp and the percussion section add to the color guard and the appeal of spectators.

The Department of Industrial Arts has several courses of study available to students New technology is rapidly expanding and students at A I can become proficient in a variety of fields. The students shown here have adequate facilities and instruction to receive a good education of Industrial Arts. 13 CAMPUS SCENES The usual and unusual sights Roland Rangel goes out on a limb to save the evening when he risks his neck to recover the ball. 74 15 REGISTRATION IS MASTERED Class Closed, Now what? This student looks for a class replacement after his 1st choice fell through. Registration is frequently considered an unpleas- ant ritual. But, because of the astute professional- ism of A l's faculty and staff, 1984 will be remem- bered as the year registration was simplified. Changes were begun to ease the anguish or dis- pleasure some students have experienced in the past. The professors, deans and administration were helpful in assisting the students. Many computers were used to avoid long lines and mistakes. This year the Financial Aid department was stationed in the registration paying area to avoid excess confu- sion. Also, more students opted for pre-registration because many find it to be the easiest way to sign up for classes. But, this year regular registration went smoothly with less than average crowds and few annoying detours. Registration days will no longer be such a dreaded bru-ha-ha. Hooray, for progress! 16 Did you forget your packet? Last minute students request packets. The campus paraphenalia is an eye opener to events on the campus. Bills! Bills! Bills! Paying your tuition is the final stop. Books are not the only thing available at the bookstore. Top: 1984-1985 Texas A I cheerleaders. Above: All eyes are on Hoggie as he entertains the crowds.

The scheduled events give parents a first hand view of our 60 year old campus. This year's Parents Day was unique. The day brought a record crowd estimated at 300 visitors. Par- ents Day is an annual event where relatives of students have a chance to see and visit our campus. The annual Parents Day helps to encourage par- ent participation in univrsity activi- ties. Over all this Parents Day was a success. above: Parents anxiously await the activities scheduled for the day. left: Showing off the new Engineering Building. bottom left: The Mariachi Javelina performs and enjoys themselves too. bottom right:: The A J Cheerleaders rise to the occasion. 20 top left: The rifle team displays their talent, top right: The Javelina Highlights perform as proud parents watch on. left: The A I Singers harmonize especially for our guests.

Bangladesh students provided a display of colorful decorative ornaments from their na- tion. students unite at Texas A I The International students at Texas A I and the International Student Services Office were successful in the participation of the bazaar. Approxi- mately 400 to 500 people including guests and participants enjoyed the festivities. Special events at the annu- al bazaar included a welcome intro- duction with Chinese songs, a Mala- sian dance, and a demonstration from the South Texas Tae Kwon Do Club. Each represented nation provided booths with food, films, slide shows, and native artifacts. At the close of the bazaar some in- ternational students danced with each other to celebrate their friendship. 27 Caballeros Y Caballeras Study The South Southwest Borderland instructor Dr. Bittinger and Dr. Torres-Raines sponsored two autumn adventures to Mexico. The trip was available to those who wanted first hand exper- ience with modern and historical Mexican cultures. Accompanying the group was Dr. Albro. The first trip was in early November to Monterrey. Here, the group explored many sights such as: Horsetail Falls (Cola de Ca- ballo), a cultural museum, Champin- que Mesal, Grutas de Garcia, and more interesting sights. The second trip was later in No- vember and was to the interior of Mexico. Here, Students Visited Las Cascades, the Natural Bridge, Monte Ciudad Valles, and more locations. The advantage of these trips was the wonderful feeling of learning the Mexican culture. A large group was interested in the learning experience and the turn out was rewarding. Most of the participants were students, but family and friends were invited also. Dr. Bittinger gives the children in Mexico a crash course in English. Learning was never meant to be so much fun. Before entering the caves, students take time to relax and enjoy. 26 COLORADO The scenic adventures along with great company made the Marketing Club's Christmas Ski Vacation a fun-filled event, (top right) Sylvia Garcia and Melinda Lopez engage in a snow dance, (center) Max Sali- nas, Kim Johnson, Mike Loayza, Jodie Burns, Bruce Harst and Suzanne Faust, (bottom right) Susan Lyssy and Robin Johnson get into Nature.

The difference between the organizations are slim. As years ago, the BSU organizes many spiritual and social activities. Some Activities in- clude guest speakers, retreats, suppers and much more. This year about 45 members decided to visit the Retama Manor. The halls were filled with Christmas carols and holiday festivi- ties. The students socialized with the elderly citizens. As years ago, the pur- pose of the BSU is still to help the Christian faith grow. Sherry Telson extends a warm gesture of friendship. Many gathered to share in the spirit of Christ- mas. 32 Catholic Student Organization CAMPUS CAPERS an unusual day Right Hand Red! Twenty-five twister mats made up a huge game of Twister. The bed races was the first event of the day during Campus Capers. Orga- nizations designed their beds and pushed them down University Boule- vard. The team activities including re- lays, a pie - eating contest, and other events were held in the mall area. Juggler Comedian, Robert York, conducted a juggling demonstration and workshop for the students. Rol- lerskates were rented to students all afternoon. Students also played Twister on an oversized twister mat. An outdoor Barbecue, and the Texas A I Dixieland Jazz Band added to the festivities. Campus Capers has become a popu- lar annual event for the last five years. 35 36 The tag team matches provided double the action for the students, faculty, and fans. Once again the T Association sponsored the annual T Fights. The traditional Bloody noses, cut lips, and knockouts were just part of the action. At the fights, the devoted first-year members of the football team met in a three-round boxing match. Some matches included tag teams. The popular event attracts crowds of 3,000 every year. The excitement of the T Fights have been held at Texas A .I since the start of football on campus. The fun- filled event will continue as a tradi- tion at Texas A I. 37 39 Texas A I in ___ Javalina action Chuckie Miles releases energy on the sidelines as well as on the field. 40 Chuckie Miles and Marcus Brown give each The offensive team catches their breath while the defense is hard at work, other a word of encouragement. 41 TEXAS A I JAVELIN A FOOTBALL TEAM Kevin Beasley Kent Bednarski Alfred Blackmon Ken Blackmon Terry Blackmon John Bonner Chris Brown William Bryant James Collins Rickey Collins Darcy Davis Victor Deleon Robbie Dueitt Mike Dyal Willie Edwards Don Finley John Fletcher Tyrone Graves Art Green Bruce Haist Alvin Haley Freddie Hobbs Bud Homeyer Moses Horn Harold Jackson James Jefferson Anthony Jiles Bill Jones Neal LaHue David Malesky 42 Benja Major Steven Mayberry Daniel Miquez Charlie Miles Johnny Moore Ken Mueller Daniel Munoz Marvin Ned Warren Polk Steve Romo Reginald Shannon Glenn Skoruppa Chales Smith Mark Smith Chris Soza Robert Soza Mike Spheeris Fred Taylor Wayne Tubbs Tommy Williams Earl Wilson Anthony Woods Greg Wright Jeff Wright Richard Zepeda 43 Lady Jays Prove Their Quality Impressive Scores A I-OPP. 57-52 Eastern New Mexico 57-57 Abilene Christian 63- 72 Angelo State 60-67 Abilene Christian 74-65 Angelo State 80-69 East Texas 64- 55 Eastern New Mexico 68-72 East Texas 55-53 Howard Payne 68-59 Howard Payne 65- 66 Howard Payne The team is pleased with a terrific shot by Beverly Hayes against Texas Luthern.

Since 1925 our Univer- sity has gained pride and respect. Thanks to you, A l has become a living legendI Just as 1925s9 high hopes and dreams were satisfied 1985s9 goals and expectations for Texas A l will be accomplished too. 135 Zhank you I would like to thank you very much for help- ing me put this yearbook together. Without you this book could not have been completed. I would like to apologize to those students who took the time to take their school pictures but did not appear in the book. This was be- yond my control. Thanks Again, Editor I would especially like to thank Dr. George Steinmeyer, Dee Cordell, (Josten's Representa- tive) and Dr. Whitfield for their advice and for giving me the opportunity to gain experience in publications. Also, many thanks to Sylvia Garcia, Art Li- mon, Fred Nuasch, and my staff for all their cooperation and patience. And finally, to my parents who believed in me when I think no- body else did. In closing this 1985 El Rancho, I have no re- grets.
