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

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.

Journalism Department In April Texas Tech ' s journalism de- partment joined 47 other schools and departments of journalism in being ac- credited by the American Council of Education for Journalism. W. E. Carets, head of the depart- ment said this was the first time the department had applied for accredita- tion and it is highly unusual for a department to receive its accreditation on the first try. Among the accredited schools and departments, only two are at the pres- ent time state colleges. A visitation team of the American Council on Education for Journalism was on campus Nov. 10-12, to evaluate the department. A favorable report was submitted by the team to the ACEJ Accrediting Committee which is com- posed of widely known educational and industrial leaders. After approval of the ACE J Com- mittee, headed by Professor Milton Gross, University of Missouri School I « W. E. SARETS Depati-nnent head dictates to Carole Coleman of Journalism, the report was sent to the full ACEJ headed by Frank Ahl- gren, editor of the Memphis Commer- cial-Appeal and representative of the American Society of Newspaper Edi- tors. The ACEJ recognizes professional programs in journalism .education. Through its accreditation program it describes the characteristics of schools and departments of journalism that it considers worthy of public recogni- tion. The organization also attempts to guide prospective students in journal- ism in choosing a department that will adequately meet their educational needs. Carets said recognition by the ACEJ is affirmation of the progress that the journalism department has made and is indication of the bright future that lies ahead. m BOB ROOKER Teaching a student to write.
