L a Ventana is Spanish, meaning the window. Any genuine sig- nificance which may be derived from such a title lies in the fact that through any pane of glass, man may view whatever he wishes to see no less and certainly no more. We hope that the glass in our window is clear and sparkling, so that the image of 1971 will be distorted in no way. To soil it or to enhance it beyond its natural luster would be a dis- service on our part. This is the forty-sixth issue of La Ventana. Since 1959, the maga- zine format has been followed which was innovated by W. E. Carets, former head of the journalism department. The popularity of this par- ticular style is evidenced not only by interest within student publica- tion circles across the nation and imitation in a few instances, but more importantly by past enthusiasm among its readers which has kept La Ventana circulation among the best anywhere. National publications have been simulated, in some cases more closely than in others the goal being to provide an interesting presentation of the academic year. Texas Tech University is the focal point of our venture. Located in Lubbock, a city of 145,000, it is a multi-purpose institute with 20,000 students and 2,000 faculty members. A giant among university campuses. Tech ' s 211 buildings stand on the 416 acre campus proper. If a yearbook is to adequately mirror the life and personalities on a particular campus, the goals of the individual students must be con- sidered. Education is certainly the goal, but obviously the means of achieving this end varies from person to person. Although the diplo- mas all appear the same, each represents a unique set of experi- ences outside the classroom as well as within its framework. The ed- ucational concept is different to everyone. Each sees it for himself, in relation to his own set of values. The quotations on the pages that fol- low reflect the impressions of a wide assortment of personalities. Henry David Thoreau said, The frontiers are not east or west, north or south, but wherever a man fronts a fact. Albert Einstein added, Imagination is more important than knowledge and Jules Verne suggested, Anything one man can imagine, other men can make real. But the thought we wish to leave you with is probably the least polished, but possibly the most profound. George Ade adjusted an old and well-known saying into a newer and less known maxim: You can lead a boy to college, but you can ' t make him think. Tom Scott and Dave Amnwns Co-editors
