DIRECTOR OF STUDENT PUBLICATIONS Bill Dean BUSINESS MANAGER Jean Finley A letter from the EDITOR (2 ri?7jt iJAy The 1969-70 school year is now history. It was an exciting year, a busy year. It was a year marked by change, dissention and unrest. Yet it was also a year of increased peace, loving and understanding. It was a year of living. For Texas Tech it was also a momentous .year. The Red Raiders reached unprecedented heights in numerous areas. Tyme magazine has tried to give you, the reader, a«careful look at at least part of the action at Tech during the past year. This issue of Tyme includes a special feature on the Catalyst, Tech ' s infant underground newspaper, in which the writer has tried to give some of the results of the ban on the Catalyst, as well as a look at some of the staff members. Also in this issue of Tyme there is a look at some of the major honors that have been won during the year by Tech individuals and organizations. Texas Tech ' s chapter of Angel Flight, for instance, was judged the outstanding Angel Flight chapter in the nation, from a total of 139 chapters competing for the title. Corpsdettes won marching honors in San Antonio for the second year in a row. Phi Mu Alpha Sinf onia was selected as the best chapter in its province, and Tech ' s only competitive riflewoman, Marcy Wagner, won high point honors at an invitational meet at New Mexico Military Institute. Finally, our cover story, revealing the Man of the Year, Mr. Wallace E. Carets, is an especially meaningful one, not only for Tyme and the entire La Ventana staff, but for the whole student body, for it was Mr. Carets who first came up with the idea of the magazine format, used by the La Ventana for the past 12 years. In a sense, it is he who made th is yearbook what it is today. These are only a few of the things that have helped to make the 1969-70 school year a memorable one and have helped to furnish Tyme with the mate- rial to keep it alive for you. I hope you enjoy reading Tyme as much as we have enjoyed compiling it for you.

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

LETTERS EDITORS NOTE: In an effort to preserve this past school year, let us not forget the students themselves, their feelings, their opinions. Here are a few samplings from over the year. All were printed in the University Daily, and all express viewpoints about problems that faced us sometime dur- ing the year. Black Power The Black revolution is progres- sing toward an ultimate climax. This progression is so intense, be- cause for the first time the Black man sees the totality of past and present injustices inflicted on him by the White race. The few true facts of past slavery days are horrible enough, but increas- ing evidence proves that the true hor- rors of slavery have been suppressed. Knowing that the White man hides the truth from the Black man, is only one of the facts that the Black man has discovered which infuriates the essence of his manhood. Black men are no longer willing to wait for the day when the white race will rid itself of its prejudicial idioms. This process goes along one by one, year by year. The hopes that one day soon the Whites will welcome the Blacks into their society with open arms has been tossed aside. From the beginning of slavery there has been a conspiracy to rob the Black man of his pride and dignity. The White man first stole his religion, forcing Christianity into his life. Next, they stole his rightful name, gave him his master ' s name. They then stole his ancestral in- heritance, telling the Blacks that their ancestry consisted of ignorant savages and that he was lucky to be where he was for his past was shameful. From ages of psyching the Whites ration- alized their treatment of Blacks by convincing themselves that Blacks were indeed inferior and deserving of such treatment. Objection to the current Move- ment is caused by fear of exposure. The cat is out, Black men now see the White man for what he is: a mate- rialistic, avaricious nonentity who will do anything to get ahead and stay ahead. The Black man is aware of how he has been treated and how he is being treated now. He realizes now that the Constitution is just a collection of words written by Whites for Whites, and not even for them. He sees two set of laws, one white and one black. He knows now that he is a man and demands to be treated like one. The use of force is not out of the question, but this effort would be futile. Another solution must be found. Nevertheless, it is the duty of the oppressed to demand their human rights, not civil rights, for this nation was founded in a revolution and it may very well end in one. Catalyst Shabazz 1307 Weymouth I was disappointed but not sur- prised to see that the Tech administra- tion has banned the latest issue of the Catalyst from campus distribution. It may surprise some to see a conservative Young Republican sup- porting a liberal publication, but I feel that all viewpoints must be avail- able to the public. This is not a new idea among conservatives. Sen. Barry Goldwater has stated, I do not believe in cen- sorship. I don ' t want it, and I would not support it. It is a private matter involving free choice of seller and buyer, and so be it. (Los Angeles Times) Although I very rarely agree with the viewpoints expressed in . the Catalyst, I support them in their conflict because I believe in freedom of the press and I am glad to see stu- dents at this university who are interested enough to take a stand, whether they belong to the Catalyst staff, Young Republicans or YAF. We need more student involvement at Tech, and censorship is certainly not the way to accomplish it. Mark L. Bishop Texas Young Republican Federation Area III Chairman 401 Murdough. I Why should we send soldiers to fight communism in Vietnam if we have the same type of dictatorship here! The Catalyst has been banned from the Campus. Each student should read this issue for himself and decide the worth of Dr. Caskey ' s accusations that this is in poor taste and poorly k worded. 0 ' Is the truth in poor taste? Must the truth be obscured so it will not be poorly worded? £ College students should have the right to view events of the campus and the nation from all angles. A college student is mature enough to gather information and form his own opinions. The administration must be terri- bly afraid of the Catalyst. Why? False rumor can be fought with truth. This ban on free speech, freedom of the press and TRUTH is a student issue. STUDENTS and our STUDENT SENATORS must act NOW! Fight for a free Lubbock! Robin Cash 364 Weeks Moratorium I do believe that some clarification is necessary concerning my viewpoints on the Lubbock Vietnam Moratorium. I have stated that I recognize and support this situation. I support the Lubbock Vietnam Moratorium because of the following: this represents freedom of speech, thought and assembly. This concept is basically given to us as Americans. It cannot and should not be taken away. I recognize the Lubbock Vietham Moratorium because it is to be under the auspices of a peaceful assembly. It is duly recognized in regards to campus rules and regulations. Because of this, I think that it is my duty to recognize it out of respect for such an assembly only. I will condemn, how- ever, any action that falls out of ac- cordance with these rules and regula- tions. This is aimed directly at the Lub- bock, Vietnam Moratorium as well as outside forces. My major concern lies in what MIGHT happen, not what is SUPPOSE to lake place. This is where I stand; not so much for it, not so much against it, not liberal, not conservative, but CONCERNED.
