LA VENTANA 1 968-69 ACTION ANNUAL Yearbook Tells Story Tech — Where the action is! The action of Texas Tech is covered in the 1969 La Ventana, one of the largest publications in the nation. This year the action-minded co- editors, selected on the basis of past experience, were Mary Margaret Mon- arch and Ronnie Lott. Lott, a senior from Roswell, New- Mexico, served the 1967 La Ventana as editor of Tyme and Sports Illus- trated and was co-editor of the 1968. Miss Monarch, a senior from Alvin, was the past editor of Post magazine. Each section editor strived this year to have his magazine resemble its namesake as much as possible. The traditional magazine format of the La Ventana was introduced in 1959 by W. E. Carets, head of the journal- ism department. Tyme, edited by Carol Cloyd, started off the Tech action with the dedication of the yearbook. Included in this section are the various relig- ious, music, and military groups. Mademoiselle, edited by Elaine Saul, and Playboy, edited by Donna Johnstone, show much of the Tech action with the presentation of both the women and men ' s organizations. Highlights of these magazines are the Top Ten Beauties and Miss Playmate. The real hot action of Tech is exhibited in Sports Illustrated. Edi- tor Jimmy Snowden and his staff strived for the best factual coverage of each athletic event. Life magazine showed the every- day action of the Tech campus with KEN LITTLE, ART EDITOR Proper design, color, and planning make a good yearbook great MARY MARGARET MONARCH AND RONNIE LOTT, CO-EDITORS Action-minded candid scenes and articles from var- ious Tech happenings. This magazine was edited by Carla Dunn. Post, under the supervision of Sheila Looney, brought attention to those students who stood at the heights of Tech action as well as cov- ering the Craduate School and the School ot Arts and Sciences and Edu- cation. In this section Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities and student government were featured. Town and Country, edited by Peggy Tipton, and Future, edited by Tom Scott, presented the Schools of Agriculture, Home Economics, Busi- ness, Engineering and Law on the campus, along with the chairman from each department and the various members of the faculty.

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 front page includes news of importance to the Tech student about the world outside of Texas Tech as well as coverage of important campus activities.
