«•- Fall Continued With the official inauguration Octo- ber 26, Tech welcomed its ninth presi- dent, Dr. Cecil Mackey. Mackey. who replaced retiring Dr. Grover Murray, said in his speech that the inaugura- tion was one of the most exciting days of his life. Other guests and speakers at the event included Terry Wimmer, SA president; David Mathews, of HEW; and others from various areas of the campus. In the November national presi- dential election, Tech voted for the Ford-Dole ticket, as did the surround- ing Lubbock area. But the rest of the country did not go along with the west Texas decision as Jimmy Carter was elected. During the summer prior to the opening of school, workers began to move equipment from Drane Hall to the new Texas Tech University Medical School facility. This move included the cadavers used in lab. This moving of bodies caused some talk on cam- pus — until it was explained about the move. Von Hubert Jayroc La Ventana-?

T. What ' s In, ' 77 r flff«i =T ' ■ ■ Living Proof REVIVAL April 17-24, 1977 DR ADRIAN JACK ROGERS PRICE PREACHING SINGING kTi Fads come and go very quickly, especially on a university campus. Tech is no exception, as various fashions, bumper stickers, and even cars gained or lost popularity during the year. This is a look at what was in on campus during 916-11. Everyone knows that the Red Raid- ers were in this year, but some new faces joined the crowd. The university gained a new president and so did the country. Carter and Mackey both made their debuts in the fall. The newest club in town last spring was the White Rabbit Disco. A new type of club in l.ubbock, the White Rabbit featured no cover charge, a lighted dance floor and big, BIG drinks. On the quieter side, Techsans spent hours learning the game of The Beau- tiful People backgammon. Speaking of beautiful people, did you notice the lovely brown color that stu- dents were wearing this spring? This style comes every year when the dust storms appear over the horizons. Spring ' 77 was dust-filled. l.arr Jjvruc
