LA VENTANA Bigger And Better The school year of 1966-67 can be called a bigger and better one for La Ventana. CHARLOTTE SHIVE Co-editor It was bigger because several pages were added, making the 1967 yearbook one of the largest published in the nation. In 1966 sales were high, as 11,000 out of 16,000 students sub- scribed to La Ventana. 1967 sales promise to be even greater than this. It was better because La Ventana again received First Class Honor Rating on the 1966 yearbook. Only KAY GESSLING Associate editor forty-five points were lacking to give the book an All-American rating. This bigger and better year saw as its leaders Nancy Hedleston and Charlotte Shive. These girls were chosen as co-editors for La Ventana on the basis of their past experience as section editors. Serving as production editor was Beverly Hunt and copy editor was Kay Gessling. Section editors were Ronnie Lott, Tyme and Sports Illus- trated; Barbara Reed, Town and Country and Freshmen View; Sheila Looney, Mademoiselle; Barbie Feissell, Playboy and Senior View; Noel Knight, Life and Junior View and Cheryl Russell, Post and Future. Jimmy Hogg was Art Editor and Suzi Olive was the staff assistant. A new addition was added to the Publications Department when Bill Dean replaced Phil Orman as Director of Student Publications. Dean, a graduate of Tech, served as director of publications at Lubbock High School. Under his direction, both PHIL ORMAN Publisher the newspaper and yearbook won several All-American awards. Early in September the paid staff traveled to Dallas for a visit to the place where La Ventana becomes a reality, Taylor Publishing Company. On this three-day trip, the staff toured the plant and were able to see the actual process of printing a yearbook. While there they also planned and worked the dummies of the 1967 yearbook. In October, Miss Shive and Miss Hedleston went to Philadelphia to at- tend a convention for the National Association of Collegiate Presses. Other duties for the year included judging two beauty contests for Crosbyton and Lorenzo High Schools. Working behind the scenes were many unpaid staff members, who gave of their time and effort to make La Ventana possible. Betty Anglim was selected as the Outstanding Non-paid Staff Member. In the early part of May the 1968 co-editors were named by the publica- tions committee. They were Beverly NANCY HEDLESTON Co-editor Hunt, a junior from Odessa, and Ronnie Lott a sophomore from Ros- well. New Mexico. The staff of La Ventana worked hard to present this 1967 yearbook. However, it is the student of Texas Tech, who is featured in the book and who purchased it and who made 1966- 67 a Bigger and Better year for La Ventana.

UNIVERSITY DAILY Changed - In Name And Style The University Daily Staff of 1966- 67 faced a new challenge last fall under the direction of David Snyder, editor; Mack Sisk, managing editor; and Judy Fowler, news editor. The newspaper was enlarged from a tabloid size paper to a full-size publication. The front page is now six columns wide and the inside pages are eight columns wide. Most newspapers throughout the coun- try are converting to this size so that there will be more room for im- portant news. International, national £Uid campus news make the Daily a more complete newspaper. Editorials on almost every phase of campus life sparked interest arid made students aware of both sides of many situations. The perpetual traffic problem on the campus, stu- dent support of the football team, at- tendance at pep rallies, the activities of student government, and the idea of having a fountain at the entrance were a few of the editorial topics dis- cussed. In the past four years enrollment in the journalism department has in- creased 115% and the University Daily has grown accordingly. The Daily is published on the same basis as a pro- fessional newspaper, and it provides excellent training for those entering the journalism profession. The Daily is published Tuesday through Sat- urday. Letters to the editor are written by many people with complaints, although some contain praise. Dormitory; food and living conditons are the main is- sues, but opinions on almost any sub- ject can be found in this section. In competition sponsored by the Southwestern Student Press Club of the Southwestern Journalism Con- gress, the Daily tied for first place with the Oklahoma Daily and the Daily Texan for the best single issue pub- lished by a daily student newspaper. At the same time. Mack Sisk tied for first place in the best story compe- titon. Staff members include David Snyder, editor; Mack Sisk (fall) and Judy Fowler (spring), managing editors; Jim Jones, assistant managing editor and Judy Fowler (fall) and Pauline Edwards (spring), news editors. Others are Pauline Edwards (fall) and Elaine McLendon (spring), cam- pus editors; Barbra Worley (fall) and Katie O ' Neill (spring), editorial assistants; Elaine McLendon (fall) and Barbra Worley (spring), fine arts ed- itors; George Chaffee, sports editor; Bill Moore, assistant sports editor; Brenda Greene, Glen Honea, Cathy Carter, lone Heartsill, Karen Wright, Jim West, Vy Townsend and Bill Moore copy editors; Ziggy Nicholson, advertising manager and Allyn Harrison, head photographer. « .
