r LA VENTANA TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY-LUBBOCK, TEXAS VOLUME 53-1978 Rose Robinson and Nancy Crewe La Ventana Co-editors Bill Dean Director of Student Publications Jean Finley Business Manager Darrel Thomas Director of Photography MAGAZINE EDITORS Liz Edwin Mike Gregory Fred Herzer Diane Ingram Bev Jones Robin Krai Willie Thomas PHOTOGRAPHERS Richard Halim Todd Marshall Vanessa McVay Mike Means John Price Ed Purvis Tech students have witnessed a year of great anticipation, a year of over- whelming despair. Of victory and of defeat. Of accomplishment and of deep tragedy. La Ventana has attempted to cover all the events that have shaped this year — the alcohol proposal and its sound defeat by the Board of Regents; the death of Happy V, Tech ' s fifth university mascot; the splendor of the Carol of the Lights; the gaity of the first snowfall in years to close the cam- pus (even if just for a day), and the resignation of one of Tech ' s most suc- cessful football coaches. It is not an easy task. Yet, La Ventana carries with it a proud tra- dition. Every attempt has been made to report the different moods, people, ideas and events that have made this year unique at Tech. There will never be another year quite like this one, as it is true of every year on this campus. Several changes have been made in this year ' s book. No longer is each magazine a separate entity, capable of being removed from the book. We have changed to a more traditional binding to increase color coverage and provide for more imagination of pre- sentation. Inside Tech, formerly Life. has been included in the opening sec- tion; again, to allow increased coverage of important issues and events. The staff of La Ventana sincerely hopes we have succeeded in our at- tempt to follow the traditional of the yearbook in providing every student on this campus some personal memory, some bit of emotional experience to relate to your year at Tech. Something in this book should stir an emotion — a tear, a chuckle, a flash of anger or even just a smile — because La Ventana is a reflection of the days you all spent trudging to class, shooting the breeze at the DC, staying up all night to complete a term paper, or enjoying the warmth of an early spring day. We give it to you, the students. And we thank you — for without your at- titudes, your spirit, your involvement in the university. La Ventana would have no reason for existence.
