f GALLERY Robert Deming received a camera for high school graduation. He came to Tech and has been using it ever since. Photography is a hobby for Deming; he specializes in no particular type of pic- tures. He took this one in the evening just before sunset. For those p eople who think this is the Administration Build- ing, you have been deceived. It is the Home Economics Building with the Administration Building behind it. The picture was taken near the entry foun- tains with a telephoto lens. Deming is a sophomore history major from Big Spring, Texas. 2 Life

I hope that can be said for this entire section, be- cause this is an attempt to revolutionize the year- book. The pages that follow represent both a rev- olution of ideas, structure and style and a final compromise. This revolution was carried out in several ways. In an attempt to emulate the real Life maga- zine, photographic entries from students were ac- cepted for the Gallery section. Pictorial comment was added to the book in the form of Parting Shots. New faces were added, even though they weren ' t necessarily white (see cover and pp. 34- 35). New issues were presented (see pp. 22, 32- 33). Words, that no one ever read anyway, were eliminated whenever possible and more pictures were substituted. The compromise, and subsequently, the di- lemma, involved in this magazine was the prob- lem of being unstructured within a definite struc- ture. It is often difficult to climb out of a rut made by typewriters, layout sheets and tradition. It is customary to close this note by saying that I hope you enjoy the section. To the con- trary, I would like to say that I hope you will, at times, be uncomfortable at what you see, at times be provoked to thought, and at the end you will have looked at Texas Tech from a different per- spective. My personal thanks go to the unknown person who erected the cross of soda straws for the dead pigeon. PIGEON LAWHON Y Joan Levers Life editor Life 1
