LA VENTANA For the fifth year the LA VEN- TANA, Tech ' s yearbook, is in maga- zine format style. Each year brings new innovations and ideals as to yearbook publication and we, of the LA VEN- TANA, feel that the ' 63 edition will surpass all those previous publications. Several changes have been initiated, the major being a name change — in a magazine, that is. The change is to Town and Country magazine which was previously Progressive Farmer. The edi- tors, felt this change necessary in order to give better coverage to the Schools of Home Economics and Agriculture. Permission was received early in the year from Town and Country publishers and thus our publication was underway. Other changes appear in the forms of layouts, addition of pages and anticipa- tion of better coverage of the college year that it might be better remembered by photograph as well as copy. For the second year the LA VEN- Travis Peterson Associate Editor TANA is printed in offset and is pub- lished by Taylor Publishing Company of Dallas. Again, the layouts of each magazine section are unlimited in ideas that can be used and processes that can be applied to each layout. Ray Tibbitts, professional commercial artist from Los Angeles, assisted with many of the basic ideas for the ' 63 book. He visited Joyce Woody Co-Editor of 1963 La Ventana the campus early in the fall with more ideas than could possibly be used and the challenge to each editor to use new ways and materials to achieve outstand- ing effects. Tyme magazine appears first in the yearbook and is the section which covers the dedication. The ' 63 Man-of-the- Year is the Director of Student Pub- lications, Phil Orman. Also included in Tyme is the coverage of Tech af- fairs, the departments of Journalism and Music, the religious, musical and military organizations. The women ' s section, or Made- moiselle, is a complete coverage of all women ' s activities and organizations, as the social, departmental, and honorary groups. Also featured in Mademoiselle is Tech ' s Most Handsome Man, Best Dressed Coed, and the Top Ten Tech Beauties. Playboy is attempting to initiate more features (and of course more playmates.) The three page foldout of Tech ' s Play- mate is printed in four color print for the first time this year. Also, coverage of men ' s organizations and activities are in this division of the LA VENTANA. Sports Illustrated reports on all sports activities of the college, from the intramurals to the varsity play. A com- plete rundown is given in picture and copy form. College life is the subject of Life Kay Kagay Co-Editor of 1963 La Ventana magazine. Features of outstanding stu- dent activities are the topics of discus- sion in Life. Layouts are the spice of this section and a round-up of the year is given on its pages. Features, short stories, Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities, honor councils, student government and various other campus organizations make up the pages of Post magazine. The newest of the sections is Town and Country which gives a run-down of the Schools of Home Economics and Agriculture. All organizations and activ- ities, as well as these schools ' depart- ments are recognized. And what is in Future. ' This section covers the activities of the Business Administration and Engineering depart- ments. Emphasis is given the Engineer- ing Show and the Business Round-Up. Class panels are the theme of the four Views. Picture stories are present in each magazine and a coverage of senior, junior, sophomore and fresh- man activities and functions are illumin- ated in their respective sections. Again, the staff of the ' 63 LA VENTANA is striving to maintain the high standards which it holds through- out the United States and Canada. This student publication is among the largest yearbook publications in the U.S. and is striving to set the pace in The Yearbooks of The Future. I

THE PRESS t BY Chari,i:s Richards Students at Texas Tech enjoyed the most representative student newspaper in the school ' s history over the 1962- 1963 session. The Daily Toreador re- placed the tri-weekly publication that had appeared in previous years. The Toreador appeared in boxes throughout the campus by 7 a.m. five days a week, Tuesday through Satur- day. Because the shift to more frequent publication, students were able to get in the campus paper for the first time, round-up of campus activities through the week. In addition, the Toreador sent re- porters on such activities as the school trip, out-of-town football and basket- ball trips, etc., to give students more live coverage of interesting events. Editor of the Toreador during the i fall semester was Bill McGee. As assist- ants he had Charles Richards, managing editor; Jeannie Bookout, news editor; Max Jennings, asst. managing editor; Nancy Miller, amusements editor; and Johnnie Lu Raborn, society editor. Also assisting were five copy editors: Celeste Hardy, Carrie Chaney, Gayle Ma- chen, Jody Allen and Bill Heard. Head photographer was Cal Wayne Moore, aided by Lee Sneath, Vernon Smith and David Butler. Richards was named to head the staff during the spring semester, with Jen- nings moving up to the vacated manag- ing editor ' s post. Miss Machen was promoted to asst. managing editor, with Lew Bullion taking over as the fifth copy editor. The position of sports editor was an unstable one, with Ray Finfer replacing Richardson in the spring semester and Artie Shaw replacing Finfer late in the school year when Finfer changed his interests to advertising. During the year, the Toreador covered a multitude of highlight events. Among these were the effigy-hanging threats of the fall semester and the panty-raid scares of the spring term. In both cases, Toreador editors appealed for reason on the part of the student body. The Toreador stood ready to expose conditions not in keeping with the goals of Texas Tech. In November the staff cooperated with the Traffic Security Dept. in a raid of the Tech Union games room where two Texas Tech students were apprehended during a dice game. The student paper also followed a policy of giving praise where it was due. It praised editorially the efforts
