TYME Toreador The 1965-66 Toreador staff, under the direction of Cecil Green, editor, Mike Ferrell, managing editor and Eu- gene Smith, news editor, continued to make headlines on the Tech campus throughout the year in an effort to get the students their news first. The main objective of the Toreador was to encourage the administration and the college to do something about the traffic situation through the middle of the campus. The best solution seen through the editorial policy of the school paper was to install entry sta- tions at all entries to the main part of campus. This, editorials contended, would not only ease the traffic conges- tion during class changes but would also stave off the imminent possibility of a pedestrian being killed -or seri- ously injured. The administration finally installed entry stations on an experimental basis in April with an outlook of making them permanent in the fall. Campus politics also came to the forefront as the first write-in cam- paign for an executive position in the student senate got front page play. The campaign stalled when the candi- date withdrew from the race in an open letter published in the Toreador. Editorially the campus paper took the position that some write-in campaigns could be good but that the qualifica- tions of the student running should be ascertained before the student body jumped on the band wagon. Columns of W. Eugene Smith, news editor, and David Snyder, assistant managing editor highlighted the edi- torial page and often brought com- ments both pro and con from the readers of the Toreador. The Toreador also ended its career as a tabloid size paper during the sum- iher session of 1966 and begins the fall with a full size publication under editor David Snyder. Staff members for 1965-66 also in- cluded Pauline Edwards, editorial as- sistant; Barbra Worley, fine arts edi- tor; Mack Sisk, feature editor; Bill Shrader, business manager; and copy editors Judy Fowler, John Armistead, Brenda Greene, Carmen Keith and Janyth Carpenter. Also Mike Lutz, sports editor and George Chafee, as- sistant sports editor.

DIRECTOR OF STUDENT PUBLICATIONS Phil Orman DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY Cal Wayne Moore k I SECRETARY Jean Finley A Letter From the PUBLISHER Ask a top notch chef what goes into a fine sauce and chances are he will tell you to add a dash of this, a pinch of that, a spoon of this or a sprinkle of that. These are terms that people use who have experience and knowl- edge in cooking, but fail to write down their recipes. Applying these terms to the year- book would not be a difficult task at all. First you take a dash of school spirit, add a pinch of history, throw in a spoonful of great pictures, and then add a sprinkle of good interesting copy and cook well. The only ingre- dient left out would be hard work by a large group of students to begin with and a smaller group at the end. Did you ever stop to think what goes into the making of a yearbook and what goes into making a yearbook designed like La Ventana. Would you believe that at least 16 people spent about 20 hours a week working on Tech ' s latest edition of a great history. Add to this about 16 more volunteers who put in about 6 hours a week just helping where they can and you can see that this book you are now reading means a lot of things to a lot of people. Breaking down the recipe for La Ventana would not be a simple task, but I will try to do it for you. Photog- raphy: This portion of the crew shot 14,400 black and white pictures this year to get the number of pictures you see in the yearbook. In addition to this there were more than 8,000 class pictures taken and an additional 3,CKX) plus other individual pictures used in the book. Top this off with 250 color shots to get the covers and the beauties and you have the work done by the photography department. But if you figured all the pictures used in the book as being taken at 1 100 of a second, we only recorded 2.4 minutes of time in the yearbook. The next simple task is to find out what each group on campus does, go to each of the sporting events to keep a tab on them, attend all other activi- ties on the campus to make sure they are recorded and then the simple task of writing the story on each of these in such a manner as to make them interesting for you to read. Simple task isn ' t it? The next step is also simple. Just take the pictures and the copy and put them together in an interesting layout so that your club, group or function will be pleased with what they see, and yearbook judges in far off places will also be pleased. The lay- outs must conform to good magazine principles. Nothing to it, real snap course. This really should be all there is to it, but you have to add the little things like calling people to remind them to come have their pictures made or to let us know when something is going to take place or to come over and sign for pages or to come over and pay bills and on and on. But mind you, this is not a gripe session for the staffers of La Ventana, the only griping they do is among themselves for being behind or at me for working them too hard. They don ' t gripe at all the work, for the simple reason that you stop them on the street, in the halls or in the classroom and say that you like it. But you say that you like it in the way that it really counts, you buy the book. You buy it in such nimibers that La Ventana ranks in the top ten in the nation. More than 10,000 of you bought your little piece of history and for this we thank you. Phil Orman INDEX Cover Story ...

I LA VENTANA Odom Weddige Just like everything else on campus La Ventana underwent several changes during the 1965-66 school year. One of the first changes was the addition of six new staff members — section editors. The new positions did away with the old title of magazine editor. Each section editor was respon- sible for putting out two magazines of La Ventana. One other change was the addition of more color pages. This year ' s La Ventana sports ten more full-color pages in the beauty section of Made- moiselle magazine. La Ventana co-editors for 1965-66 were Winston Odom and Diane Wed- dige. Miss Weddige, a senior English major, worked on the yearbook two years prior to being editor. Odom, a senior journalism major, had worked three years — one as copy editor. Associate editor of the 1966 La Ven- tana was John Armistead, and Beverly Hunt was copy editor. Art editor was Corky Harrison. Section editors were Jim Jones, Life magazine: Noel Knight, Tyme and Post; Nancy Hedleston, Mademoiselle and Sophomore View; Charlotte Shive, Future and Senior View; and Kay Gessling, Town Country jmd Junior View. Miss Shive replaced Sherry Py- ron at semester break. Members of La Ventana ' s staff rep- resented the school at several events outside Lubbock during the year. One of the first was at the Associated Col- legiate Press Convention in San Fran- cisco attended by Odom and Miss Gess- ling. Another was the Southwestern - Journalism Congress at the University of Arkansas where Miss Weddige and Armistead represented La Ventana. La Ventana staffers were called on to judge three beauty contests during the year — the Alpha Tau Omega Basket- ball Queen Contest, Tahoka High School and Lorenzo High School. Fifty-six students comprised La Ven- tana ' s volunteer staff for 1966. At the end of the year Angele Schleeter was named by the paid staff as the Out- standing non-paid Staff Member. Miss Schleeter will be editor of Mademoi- selle magazine in 1967. CHARLOHE SHIVE SHERRY PYRON JIM JONES KAY GESSLING Staff Consultants Beverly Hunt, copy editor and John Armi- stead, associate editor give art editor Corky Harrison a little friendly advice. La Ventana Co-editors Diane Weddige and Winston Odom discuss some of the finer points of producing such a book as La Ventana. It is an everyday task. TYME 3 ■m
