  • Texas Tech Ex-Students Association I April1977
    exas 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.
