TYME MAN OF THE YEAR Tyme Magazine ' s Man of the Year for 1969-70 is Mr. Wallace E. Carets, chairman of the jour- nalism department at Texas Tech since 1956. Carets, nationally known as an innovator in the field of jour- nalism, is the man responsible for the magazine format which has been used by the La Ventana for the past twelve years. Tech will lose Carets in the fall. He will move to Long Is- land, N. Y., where he will be professor of journalism at Long Island University. Carets received his bachelor of science in 1938 and his mas- ter of science in 1947. Both de- grees were from the University of Idaho. The year after he received his master ' s degree, Carets founded the department of journalism at Idaho State University, where he remained until 1956. His memberships in journal- ism societies are as vast and var- ied as his work experience. He holds membership in the American Society of Journalism School Administrators, Associa- tion for Education in Journalism, American Association of Univer- sity Professors, Alpha Delta Sig- ma, Phi Mu Alpha and Phi Delta Theta. He is one of eight elected members of the American Coun- cil on Education for Journalism, a national accrediting agency. After coming to Tech, Carets founded the West Texas Profes- sional Chapter of Sigma Delta Chi and the West Texas High School Press Association. He is listed in the Who ' s Who in America, Who ' s Who in the South and Southwest, Who ' s Who in the West, and the direc- tory of American Scholars. Bill Dean, director of Stu- In Carets takes time out from his busy schedule to chat with one of his former students. dent Publications at Tech, was in his first year of undergraduate work when Carets took over the journalism department at Tech. He says, Carets has built a sol- id department. Today the Tech journalism department is one of the fastest growing in the coim- try. We are one of only three state colleges in Texas with an accredited journalism depart- ment. k i u U Toi r« la Idi Gil Id Gn la 111 Mt! Sit Iti I
