I and distinguished personalities find their way to the front page. The first inside page of the paper is usually devoted to editorials. Stu- dent editorials are accepted on this page and are printed as long as they are in keeping with acceptable jour- nalistic ethics. Art and music take their share of importance when performances are covered and reviewed, and personali- ties with artistic talent are given no- tice with interviews and feature stories. Sports are a big part of the life on the Tech campus and are there- fore given full coverage. Games and players make news along with the student body that supports them. In order to get the paper to the students, staff members sometimes work till 4:30 in the morning before they put the paper to bed. This makes the news in the University Daily timely, and thereby adds to its importance to the Tech students. In order to give this coverage and leadership, the editor and his staff try to talk to as many people as possible and participate in a number of activities. This not only gives the individual valuable training and expe- rience but also provides the knowl- edge needed to print a daily paper.

THE PRESS THE UD: WIDE APPEAL With its enrollment of over 19. 000 students. Texas Tech has equal or better the population of many towns in Texas. Providing this col- lege town with not only the news of the school, but also with local, state, national, and international news is the task of the University Daily. For many of its readers, the University Daily provides the better part of the news which they receive each day. It has been in keeping with this increasing responsibility that the University Daily has enlarged its coverage of the news. As a copy editor and news edi- tor last year, Bill Seyle has returned to this year ' s staff in the position of editor. The position is filled on the recommendation of the Student Pub- lications Committee. The editor then chooses his staff. Chosen for the staff positions were Gary Shultz and I ane Arthur, managing editors; Jean Fannin, news editor; Lynn Green, editorial assist- ant; Casey Charness, fine arts edi- tor; Mike Phelan, sports editor; Dave Ammons, assistant sports editor; Rich- ard Mays, photographer; Larry Check, George Proctor, Nancy Fire- baugh, Lynn Williams, and Gordon Zeigler, copy editors; Jerry Reese, ad- vertising manager; and Benny Tur- ner, sports writer. As well as developing technical ability, Bill Seyle feels that working on the staff teaches one a lesson about people. People will lie. You don ' t come out of working on a paper as naive as you go in. Before a student can be a mem- ber of the University Daily staff, some experience is needed. As a pre- JERRY REESE, ADVERTISING MANAGER Keeps the UD in business requisite to a staff position, work is usually done on covering campus ac- tivities to give a basis in reporting. An analysis of the news cover- age in any issue gives an accurate picture of the objective of the paper.

THE BAND Music Complex The Millions Killion ' s Millions is fast be- coming the new nickname of the many-membered Tech Band complex. The complex consists of a 400- member marching band, four concert bands, and two stage bands. Dean Killion, band director and Tech ' s Man of the Year, started in 1959 with a struggling bunch of 90 musicians. In his 10 years at Tech, he has created a seven band network which is now the sound sensation of the Southwest Conference. Killion has studied music at the University of Nebraska and has done graduate work at the University of Iowa. Before coming to Tech, Killion taught band and music at various Nebraska public schools and later at the University. He was also the Di- rector of Band at Fresno State Uni- versity in California. He has been a music judge, clinician, and guest speaker at band camps and schools all over the U.S. His training and ability enabled him to coordinate over 450 individuals into an effective work- ing unit. Perfection is our goal, Dean Killion claims. The musical unit has marched in the Gator Bowl and the Sun Bowl. They have received national awards and recognition. During football sea- son, the marching band is required to practice every day. During the rest of the year, they keep in tune with practice three days a week . The con- cert band practices daily during their spring concert season. This practice resulted in several invitational performances throughout the year. The marching band marched in the Texas Inaugural Parade in Austin by personal invitation from Governor Preston Smith. The concert band was the honor band at the in- auguration ceremony. Besides this special trip, the marching band also travelled to Waco and Houston to perform at the half- time shows during the Baylor and Rice games. Several reasons not to miss band practice are Tech ' s sparkling major- etes. Their routines for halftime in- cluded high baton tosses, fire baton twirling, and tricky baton exchanges. The girls also perform at the pep rallies. This year ' s head majorette 8-Tyme Red, white, and blue majorettes Diane Lovelace, Barbara Zimmermann, Debbie Wright, Barbara Specht, and Donna Snyder twirl to special patriotic tunes arranged by the Tech Band. America the Beautiful was Donna Snyder, a senior in edu- cation from Dallas. Other twirlers were: Janice Jones, Lubbock senior; Patsy Kempson, Dumas sophomore; Pam Kerr, Muleshoe junior; Diane Lovelace, Farwell junior; Barbara Specht, New Braunfels sophomore; Sheila Watkins, Waxahachie junior; Debbie Wright, Tahoka freshman; and Barbaar Zimmerman, Oklahoma City, Okia. junior. In addition to the baton of Dean Killion are the batons of the student drum majors who lead the band on KILLION ' S MILLIONS in their distinctive black and red uniforms anxiously await halftime for another field performance at the Rice game in Houston.
