Man with the Gear DEAN KILLION Puts Band in High Gear Dean Killion has the gear to be Man of the Year! He is the director of the multi-sectioned Tech Band. He was geared for music through early training. Killion did his under- graduate work at the University of Nebraska and his graduate study in the field of music at the University of Ohio. He taught band at several Nebraska public schools and later at the University. Before coming to Tech in 1959, Killion was Director of Band at Fresno State University in Califor- nia. Killion has been guest director and clinician in summer band camps all over the United States and has been a band judge in international contests. The musical gear of the Tech Band is composed of a 400 member marching band, four concert bands, and two stage bands. Dean Killion started with a single band of 90 determined musicians. His leadership and their determination have created a seven band network. The Tech band has received national and regional acclaim for television performances and halftime shows.

That idea was presented by W. E. Carets, head of the journalism department. Mr. Carets reasoned that a yearbook divided into 12 magazines would have more appeal on campus and would provide workers with better training. That was 11 years ago and now the La Ventana is recognized across the collegiate land as an innovator. Down through the years La Ven- tana, because of its great flexibility, has attempted to reflect our changing world. This past year is no exception. From the name change fight to dorm housing to another near miss in SWC football, our staff has attempted to present a comprehensive view of his- tory as it was made this year. Due to the fact that fall registra- tion is to begin the last week in Au- gust, deadlines for this year ' s book had to be pushed up one month in order to deliver on time. This has made a hard job even harder. This year ' s staff has been an out- standing one — probably our best ever. To them and to all the others who shared in the planning, production and distribution of La Ventana 1969, we offer thanks. But especially to you, the reader and subscriber, go our thanks. Thanks for buying the book and thanks for al- lowing us to put you in it. xJZje a . ouyu VAiik INDEX Air Force ROTC 18-21 Angel Flight 25 Army ROTC .... 26-27 Arnold Air Society 22-24 Baptist Student Union 39 Christian Science . . 40 Corpsdettes 36 Counter Guerrilla . . 28 Disciples of Fellowship 40 Double T Rifle Team 30 Kappa Kappa Psi . . 11 La Ventana 4-5 Mu Phi Epsilon 12 Orchestra 15 Phi Mu Alpha 10 Publications Committee and Public Info. . . 3 Campus Advance . . 37 Scabbard and Blade 32 Sigma Delta Chi .... 2 Tau Beta Sigma .... 13 Tech Choir 14 Theta Sigma Phi 16-17 Tyrian Rifles ... 34-35 University Daily . . . 6-7 Wesley Foundation . 38 Tyme — 1
