Texas Tech Ex- Students Association I April1977

Your gifts to the Texas Tech Loyalty Fund have helped make possible $50,000 in direct funding to Dr. Cecil Mackey, our president for selected Texas Tech programs. My sincere thanks for your support. Because of gifts such as yours, Loyalty Fund contributions in­ creased some 25% to a record high of $189,000. The average size gift increased to $29.34 as compared to a 1966 average of $9.83. This fine response during 1976 allowed the association to continue its support last year of several Tech programs and allowed the Executive Board at its February 19 meeting to ap­ prove the $50,000 gift for 1977. Take a look at our progress. During 1976 we began awarding Valedictory Scholarships of which 65 were presented. In addition, we continued to assist in fi nancing the National Merit Scholarship Program at Tech. (As you may recall in 1971 the Association funded this program with an initial gift of$21,000). In addition, 16 other academic, music, band and graduate school scholarships were given. To further promote s tudent participation the Association con­ tinued financial assistance to the cheerleaders and the School Gifts Make Possible Spirit Committee; provided funds for summer internships for two students in Washington D.C. , and provided expense money Largest, Single for academic recruiting for the University's Admissions Office. University Contribution In addition the Association set up its own academic student recruiting program. We continued our program of awards for the highest ranking graduate, community service, top Techsan staff and Dis­ tinguished Alumnus Programs. Our tabloid newspaper, Tech Talks, was again published, mailed to all Ex-Students whether contributors or not. Texas Tech Specialties a"lso took on new dimensions. This operat ing company is involved in such activities as alumni group travel, vending machines, copy machines, group insurance, selling of Texas Tech merchandise, printing and other things. It is a 100% owned subsidiary of the Association. A few specifics about the $50,000 gift. The programs selected include Academic Enrichment and Faculty Development, Library Enrichment, Law School Research, University Staff Awards and Graduate Student Program. The Board voted to continue the National Merit and Vale­ dictory Scholarship Program, Academic Student Recruiting and some other service activities for the University. The University administration under Dr. Mackey and the Association rededicated themselves to a close and working re­ lationship for the betterment of Texas Tech. We have an out­ standing university and an outstanding president and all of us are working closely with one another for the common cause. All of our audit for 1976 has been completed and all funds and gifts have been properly accounted for as directed. Because of the support we have received we have made a wonderful start on 1977 and hope you will take pride in your part of these accomplishments. This Association belongs to all of us and each of us is obligated to work toward making it even better. Your ideas, comments and participation are solicited and welcome.

THE TEXAS TECHSAN I APRIL 1 To meet food and fiber needs Down of the future, Tech's On The Farm teaching farms have undergone changes

The skyline on the College of Agriculture Sciences farm is changing. What was once a field on the west side on the campus is the present site of the Texas Tech University School of Medicine and the County Teaching Hos­ pital. This construction has resulted in the relocation and expansion of the College of Agriculture Sciences farm laboratories. The new off campus farm labs located in Lubbock County, Terry County, as well as at Pantex near Amarillo, are being de­ veloped to meet current and anticipated future scientific and technological needs of agri­ culture and agribusiness. While the small , family farm represents home and future for some students, agribusiness for others represents a ca reer in large, highly intensified and greatly diversified fa rming and the business that serves agricul­ ture. Mod ern agriculture is sci­ entific, uses the latest technology, and requires advanced business management techniques on and off the farm. For example, con­ sidering the tremendous capital requirements of modern farming, students learn to make capital d ecisions w ith the aid of a com­ puter. These scientific and busi­ ness methods are the agriculture producti on tools of the future. At Texas Tech, students are being prepared for careers as participants and leaders in the complex agricultural industry where they serve as producers of agricultural p roducts; sup­ pliers and manufacturers of ma­ chinery, feed, seed, agrichemicals and additional production re-

There has been more change in farming in the last 40 years than in the previous 4,000 years. Tech­ nology combined with research and developments by industry have all contributed to the ef­ ficiency with which wholesome, safe, nutritious and palatable products are marketed to the con­ sumer. The new image at the College of Agricultural Sciences farms, reflects American farming 1977. With a restructuring of the farm laboratories at Tech, stu­ dents no longer only use Tech campus lands in Lubbock for teaching and research. Farm laboratories located off campus provide teaching and research activities on the various sites which are typical soil, cli­ matic and water situations of the North and South Plains area. Students can learn from a wide variety of educational farm lab­ oratories--from small research plots to the fast developing 13,822-acre operation at the Texas Tech University Center at Amarillo. Plot work done in greenhouses, on the campus farm, at Lubbock County, Amarillo, and Terry County enables students to move results from the plots to the large scale commercial farming oper­ ation for both research and teach­ ing activities.

28 THE TEXAS TECHSAN I APRIL Scholarships: Insuring Academic Stature

Pictured with Ex-Students Association President Bill Barnett is Pam Odom, a recipient of the Association's Valedictorian Scholarship Program. A freshman elementary education major, she is the daughter of James ('55) and Glo ('56) Odom of Lubbock.

The Association awards $50 scholarships each semester to Valedictorians from the 1,152 Texas public high schools and in surrounding states. Scholarships are also awarded to National Merit Scholars who rank in the top 4,000 high school seniors in the nation.

Your contributions help in the continuing effort of attracting the best possible candidates to Texas Tech. In this way, the Ex-Students Association hopes to develop an Outstanding academic Freshman Class each fall and the graduation of more mature, confident students four years later.

Sometimes oldest doesn't mean best ... but our longevity should be important to the car buyer ..• it's hardly likely we could operate all these years without being straight forward and fair dealing. At the same time, every contract we make today is backed by a good reputation which we feel we've worked hard over the years to gain. We'd hardly risk it by making promises we couldn't keep. We think we're best . • • not because we're old but because we've spent so many years trying to serve you better.
