Dr. Goodwin, members of the Board of Regents, Dr. These are boys who failed to finish the 16 or 17 year Dupree, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen and you educational journey most of you have completed. They who share the privilege of holding a degree from Texas have paid a dreadful price for their failure-and for our Tech: failure. They are now desperately seeking one final chance. Tonight you honor me greatly, and my gratitude is There are more than a quarter of a million like them exceeded only by my deep satisfaction in receiving a degree from this institution. who already have enrolled in the Job Corps training pro­ gram. But it is not my intention to address myself to my own You have demonstrated your ability and your determi­ feelings this evening. I speak instead to the nearly 1,300 nation to absorb knowledge and your capacity not only to of you who are the bachdor degree graduates of 1965 and be good citizens but also to be leaders of your generation. the hundreds or more who have received your master's or doctoral degrees. It is you we honor tonight, and to you I speak. At this climax of your educational career, I share your pride, and the pride of your parents and husbands and wives, in your achievement. I wonder if you realize fully the strength that you hold tonight. It is a strength that none can ever deny you, a strength that is yours for a lifetime. It is the genius of an educated mind. With it you can attain ambitious goals. With it you can share in the richest fruits of our Twentieth Century society in a land blessed with progress and human dignity. With it you are a free man equipped to be a proud, inde­ pendent, productive citizen. You constitute a minority-a fortunate minority. Based on past averages, you should earn at least $17,- 000 more in your lifetime than a high school graduate. You should earn $200,000 more than the student complet­ ing only junior high school. I hope you will not underestimate or take lightly this treasure that is yours. Only those who do not p05sess it truly understand how precious it is. . As we in Lubbock bask in the worth of your success, 800 srudents of a different kind are enrolled at a far differ­ ent kind of school only a few hundred miles from here at San Marcos, Texas.

AUGUST, 1965 ever-growing needs as new products and new techniques emerge. Three-fourths of the American people who will work in any industry in 1971 will ·be making products not yet invented in 1965. Half of the research money spent in all of history was spent in the last eight years. The world today ·has twice as much scientific knowledge as it had in 19SO and four times as much as it had in 19 31. But being aware of these facts means little if we who profess to leadership are too reluctant, too timid or too selfish to change our own ideas and concepts as we know they must change. What, basically, is education for? Is it to produce college graduates, as desirable as they may be, or is it to equip peopl~ to live productive lives. Is there rhyme or reason for spending much greater sums of money for vocational agricultural in the public schools than we spend for vocational-technical education? Knowing that superior vocational and technical educa­ tion is the very type of training and the only type of train­ ing which will interest, motivate or benefit a large segment of our population, does it make sense to treat this as a second-class student?

Tonight you have received a scroll which will always be yours to use as only you see fit, in your own personal advancement and in the advancement of mankind. I ask that you remember throughout your life the con­ tribution Texas Tech has made to your success. It is a con­ tribution worthy of return in kind as this institution continues to progress and expand. And it's a contribution worthy of sharing with your fellow man. Remember, also, the state under whose auspices this institution has thrived and the nation of which the state is a part. It's great to be a loyal Texas Techsan, greater yet to be Texan, and greatest of all to be an American. Individuals achieve their true worth for what they give, not for what they receive. They acquire nobility for what they believe, and for their dedication to those beliefs, and their courage in meet­ ing life as the challenge it is, not as a downhill ride to personal ease and comfort. We might well heed the ground rules of Theodore Roosevelt, a man never short on courage, when he said: "It is far better to dare mighty things and to enjoy your hour of triumph, even though it is checkered oc­ casionally with failure, than to take stock with those poor souls who neither enjoy much nor suffer much because they live in a gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." Thank you, and Godspeed to each of you.

AUGUST, 1965 PAGE SEVEN Cool West Texas nights, with little humidity, appeal to nearly all volun­ teers. Most say that they enjoy just walking-around campus in the evening. One girl said, "I'm fascinated by the electric storms. There's no lightning like this in California, or maybe it's just because there are such wide-open spaces, I can see it here." Tech's "nags," as trainees dubbed the college's horses, were a real surprise to volunteers. Students admitted they were a little disappointed when the horses were not the bucking broncos of Texas legend. "Why, we could even ride them," said some trainees from eastern u.s. Volunteers said that they were sur­ prised to hear people begin to "run down" West Texas, until they realized that the natives loved the country and were just fishing for compliments. One volunteer perhaps summed all students' opinions when she said, "Texas seems a conglomerate of people pulling in var­ ious directions. People are conservative politically, economically and religiously and liberal in other ways. But, I love the place, even though it's hot and flat."

Like To See More Trainees complain that they have not had an opportunity to get to know Texas and Texans as well as they would like to because of the intensive nature of the training program. A typical class day begins at 6:3 0 a.m. and ends at 9 p.m., six days a week. Classes include approximately five hours per day of Spanish instruction, and mealtime chatter must be strictly Span­ ish. American studies, Communism and world affairs compose a large portion of each day. Students also spend much time on area studies, learning the cus­ toms and needs of South American peo­ ple. Other classes are varied and include such studies as mental health, physical education, agriculture, nutrition, horse­ manship, community development, folk dancing and Peace Corps orientation.

In the five days volunteers accomplish such assorted duties as working in Spanish American community centers and hospitals and picking cotton. Why They Came Volunteers give a variety of reasons for interest in the Peace Corps. Most believe that they will be doing some­ thing worthwhile while getting to know another culture well. One trainee said that she wished to see how other people live and then, on their level, not as a tourist, help them. Language majors are amuous to use their Spanish while teaching Latin Americans English. Many students said that they felt a moral responsibility to aid their country.

Another part of trammg includes a two and a half day field trip, in order for students to study geology and range plants. Volunteers also do their own cooking on fires which they build. Trainees sleep outdoors and spend a great deal of time hiking. While hiking, they are allowed to carry only the so-called "hard-tack" biscuits, which they made in nutrition classes, plus roasted pea­ nuts and raisins to complete the calorie count. After sampling the' somewhat tastless concoction, one volunteer said, "If that's all that stands between me and starva­ tion, I'd rather starve." Another trainee decided perhaps the answer was to smuggle along a sack of candy bars. In order to learn about customs of Latin Americans first hand, volunteers spend five days living in Spanish Ameri­ can homes in and around Lubbock. Trainees are allowed to speak only Span­ ish. The experiment also gives students

One volunteer paraphrased Secretary of State Dean Rusk's statement that the U.S. is safe only to the extent that the environment is safe. The trainee believes that the U.S. can keep its en­ vironment safe by helping people abroad. M05t trainees said that their parents approved of their decision to join the Peace Corps and felt that the training would be invaluable experience. How­ ever, one volunteer said that her father looked upon the notion of students joining the Peace Corps as "youthful idealism that would change." Around the world Peace Corps train­ ees and members are striving to prove him (and others who share his feelings) wrong.

AUGUST, 1965 New Alert System Dark, forbidding West Texas skies have, on occasion, been known to spawn death-dealing tornado "fingers" and large hail capable of completely wiping out blocks, sub-divisions and even whole cities. Texas Tech, with this in mind, has recently assembled and tested an alert warning system designed to "spread the word" of any impending disaster at lij:thtening Rpeed so that people anywhere on campus will be able to take cover and be protected, no matter what the danger may be. The alert system, as explained by Lt. Col. John Buechler, associate pro­ fessor of military science and a mem­ ber of Tech's disaster planning com­ mittee, is built around a telephone alerting hook-up which is backed-up by a radio network, a siren and a steam whistle. "When an alert is relayed to us from Lubbock Civil Defense and the Lubbock Fire Department, the call comes into our main campus switch­ board over a red telephone," Col. Buechler said. Htrb Smnt, Ag.

The Tech scientist said that research has already pointed .out that short­ day plants, such as the chrysanthe­ mum, will continue to vegetate but not bloom when exposed only to long periods of light.

His excellent showing there earned him a summer job last year with the U.S. Air Force at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, in the base's flight dynamic laboratory. "I did most of my work in a verti­ cal wind tunnel testing parachutes. We were trying to make parachute design more of an engineering func­ tion," he continued. He also received the first place Na­ tional Aeronautics and Space Ad­ ministration (NASAl award and the Army Aircraft Association citation. The NASA award enabled Seaberg to spend four days at Moffett Field, Mountain View, Calif., which has the largest wind tunnel test chamber in the world.
