What ' s Out ' 77 Gone are the hoola-hoops and saddle oxfords. Gone are Ricky Nelson and Bill Haley and the Comets. Gone also are platform shoes, I Found It stick- ers, and Grover Murray. These last three went out of style at Texas Tech. Out with the old and in with the new. That could have been the slogan for 1976. Out went Grover Murray, who retired as president, and in came Cecil Mackey. Out went Jerry and in came Jimmy. Remember the big swine flu scare of last October? Remember how thou- sands of Tech students, faculty and Lubbock residents lined up to take their innoculations? Remember how a few months later the shots were ceased because of possible side effects (such as death)? Campus police, or K.K. ' s, were really out this year. As usual the men and women in the brown uniforms were out in full force giving tickets and hav- ing cars towed. A new wrinkle was added, though. The Students Associa- tion ' s investigative report revealed several uncomplimentary aspects of our campus police force, such as charges of failure to properly protect the female dorm residents. r).jrrcl Thomas loLa Vrnlono

Another great pastime of folks in West Texas was tooling around in their funhouse on wheels (vans). These vehicles took on a new look as owners added shag carpet, round sofas, wet bars and Tiffany lamps. Just perfect for that weekend in Terlingua. . . Fashion-wise, females seemed to be suffering an identity crisis with the rash of initialed purses, hats, umbrel- las, shirts and even underwear. Other fashions girls wore included gauchos, sun-dresses and jeans tucked into boots. Unisex clothes were in vogue in some items such as decker (or rain- bow) sandals and painter pants. Guys were in style in their rugby shirts. Also in evidence this year was the ever-popular T-shirts. New slogans were seen, though, including Burp on Bevo, SWC Co-Champs (limited edition) and So many men, so little time. Farrah Fawcett-Majors was another popular addition to many males ' shirts. Her face appeared on other items, such as glasses, posters, dolls and sheets. Several organizations and groups on campus also had their own shirts. For example, the University Daily had as its slogan The Best Newspaper on Campus (the only newspaper on campus). Tech students were interested in local issues, too. Several organizations spon- sored blood drives to replenish the dwindling supplies in local hospitals. Another concern this year was the increased numbers of rapes and as- saults on female students this year. Sev- eral rape crisis seminars were held to inform girls of the precautions to take when walking on campus at night. A campaign launched around the first of the year was Living Proof. The airways and TV screens were flooded with testimonies from such diverse people as Eldridge Cleaver and Jeanne C. Riley. Familiar black and white billboards sprang up all over town and on the highways leading out of the city. La Vcntono-9
