93RD ANNUAL PIG ROAST 1 the Student Agricultural Council 93RD ANNUAL TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES AND NATURAL RESOURCES PIG ROAST 93RD ANNUAL TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES AND NATURAL RESOURCES PIG ROAST The annual Pig Roast is a time-honored tradition of the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. The first Pig Roast was held in 1927 as a sendoff celebration for the Livestock Judging Team on their way to compete for the championship. Each year since, it has been a celebration of success and prosperity. The event has evolved and grown over the years to become one of the largest and oldest traditions on campus, aside from a sporting event. Today, the Pig Roast serves as the premiere event of the year, at which we highlight competitive team successes, recognize scholarship recipients, and honor scholarship donors. The occasion provides us an opportunity to say, Thank You, to the individuals and companies who have assisted in the activities of CASNR and its students. The printed program for the Pig Roast started as just a couple pages stapled together and has grown into a booklet of more than 30 pages, 340 scholarships, and 550 graduate and undergraduate student recipients. CASNR is known across campus for its scholarship program, having one of the largest endowments and awarding one of the highest number of scholarships among the colleges each year. Almost half of CASNR students receive at least one scholarship, and the total funding reaches more than $4 million annually. After 10 consecutive years of record enrollment growth in CASNR, the need for scholarship funding is greater than ever. The students relish the opportunity to show their appreciation to their scholarship donors each year. They realize they would not be able to attend college or engage in internships, leadership programs, team competitions, or study abroad if not for the generosity of the college’s supporters. College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources / Texas Tech University 93RD ANNUAL PIG ROAST 1 The Student Agricultural Council The Pig Roast is hosted by the Student Agricultural Council of the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. The Student Agricultural Council is composed of two representatives from each of the departmental clubs and the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources’ Student Senators. A representative from the Office of the Dean of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources serves as a sponsor. The purpose of the Student Agricultural Council is to establish a working relationship between students, faculty, administration and the agricultural community for the betterment of the students and the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. The goals of the Agricultural Council are: 1. To establish sound relations among agricultural students. 2. To establish a common bond among agricultural organizations at Texas Tech. 3. To foster better relations with the faculty. 4. To establish better communications within the university system. 5. To strive to maintain and improve relations within the agricultural community. The annual Pig Roast is only one of the functions sponsored by the Agricultural Council to attain these goals.

The various judging teams, academic teams and equestrian teams are integral parts of the College and our students’ education. In fact, the College had a judging pavilion before it had a classroom. The Livestock Judging Pavilion was one of the first buildings on the Texas Tech campus and one of the College’s two initial buildings. Over the years, the Pavilion has been one of the most versatile buildings on campus—livestock judging, basketball games, Pig Roast and landscape architecture studio. Today, it still symbolizes the commitment to and importance of intercollegiate teams as a critical educational component of the College. The first Pig Roast, held in 1927 at the Livestock Pavilion, was a send-off for the livestock judging team prior to their departure for the International Livestock Exposition in Chicago. A pig was roasted in a pit and the meal was enjoyed by the judging team and all who came to support them. Every year since, the Pig Roast has honored the College’s intercollegiate teams in this time-honored tradition.

The Department of Plant and Soil Science laid the groundwork with a decades-long string of national titles beginning in the 1940’s. Between 1947 and 1970, its Crop Judging Team took no less than 34 championships. Meanwhile, Tech’s Meat Judging Team, Livestock Judging Team and Meat Science Academic Quiz Bowl Team have dominated the title rankings since the turn of the century. Starting in November 2019 the Meat Judging Team, within the Department of Animal & Food Sciences, surged to victory at the American Meat Science Association (AMSA) Cargill High Plains Collegiate Meat Judging Contest led by three of the top four individual finishes. The Meat Judging Team then capped the 2019 competitive season by capturing the program’s 14th national championship at the American Meat Science Association International Meat Judging Contest. On February 2, 2020 the Meat Judging Team earned its first victory of the judging season at the AMSA Intercollegiate Meat Judging Contest, the 11th consecutive year for Texas Tech to win the contest. It is the longest winning streak in the contest’s history. Texas Tech rebounded from a fourth-place finish at the National Western contest in Denver earlier in the Spring 2020 semester with an impressive performance in Fort Worth, scoring 4,184 points to outdistance Big 12 Conference rivals Oklahoma State University (4,127 points) and Kansas State University (4,120). Moreover, on November 12, 2019, the Texas Tech Ranch Horse Team won both the Stock Horse of Texas Collegiate World Championship and the SHTX Collegiate Reserve Championship at the Stock Horse of Texas Collegiate World Championships. 4 93RD ANNUAL PIG ROAST Texas Tech University / College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources College Majors and Acronyms AAEC Agricultural and Applied Economics ACOM Agricultural Communications AGBS Agribusiness AGCE Agricultural Communications and Education AGED Agricultural Education AMSB Animal Science - Meat Science Business ANBU Animal Business ANMS Animal Science - Meat Science ANPR Animal Production ANSC Animal Science CNLE Conservation Law Enforcement CNSC Conservation Science EQPR Equine Production FDSC Food Science LARC Landscape Architecture NRM Natural Resources Management PLSS Plant and Soil Science PMED Animal Science - Pre-Medicine PNUR Animal Science - Pre-Nursing PVET Animal Science - Pre-Veterinary RNGC Range Conservation RNMG Ranch Management WAWS Wildlife Science & Aquatic Wildlands Science and Management WFBI Wildlife Biology Other Majors and Acronyms ADMG Apparel Design and Manufacturing ART Art BIO Biology EDU Education FIN Finance FNDL Foundational Engineering GBUS General Business HEAD Higher Education Administration MBIO Microbiology MKTG Marketing PLAW Pre-Law SPMD Sports Medicine SWRK Social Work UNST University Studies College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources / Texas Tech University 93RD ANNUAL PIG ROAST 5 Graduate Scholarships, Fellowships and Assistantships Dr. Warren B.

I'd been rooting around the History Department where, at age forty-one and only twenty years behind schedule, I'd finished my undergraduate degree. I had the academic bug and I wanted to move on to graduate school. Professor David Montejano was kind enough to let me sit in on one of his graduate courses to allow me to get a feel for what graduate work involved. As the seminar wound down, he suggested that I check out the AMS program on the third floor of Garrison Hall. I looked through the courses the department had been offering over the last few semesters and after noticing subjects like film history, jazz, a large collection of topics in popular culture, and seminars dealing with drugs, alcohol, and the beat generation, I knew I'd found a new home.

This year’s ceremony will recognize honorees and inductees from both 2020 and 2021. Inductees include Academy Award winner Robert Duvall and Emmy-nominated Kurt Russell, as well as American country music singer George Strait. “The West is more than a geographical location; it is a story we tell,” said Natalie Shirley, Museum President and CEO. “For more than a century, writers, musicians and film producers have interpreted the trials and triumphs of the people who built the American West. At The Cowboy, we are pleased to honor the work these men and women have done in telling the great stories of the American West.” Each award winner and inductee receives a Wrangler, an impressive bronze sculpture of a cowboy on horseback created by Oklahoma artist Harold T.

  • The Darrell K. Royal Collection Finding Aid Abstract Access
    T h e Darrell K. Royal Collection The H.J. Lutcher Stark Center for Physical Culture & Sports The University of Texas at Austin Finding Aid Darrell K. Royal Collection: 25 Albums, 1926-2011, no date Abstract Darrell K. Royal is the most significant football coach in the history of the University of Texas at Austin. During his twenty years on the Forty Acres, he never had a losing season. He played football at Hollis (Oklahoma) High School and went on to star for the University of Oklahoma. He began coaching the Longhorns in 1957. He led Texas to three National Championships in 1963, 1969 and 1970. President Lyndon B. Johnson called him personally after the 1963 Cotton Bowl win over Navy. After retiring from coaching in 1976, Royal stayed on as the UT Austin Athletic Director (a post he had held since 1962) until 1980. Along with football, Royal loved music, making Austin a perfect fit, and he was good friends with Merle Haggard, George Jones and Willie Nelson, among others. Celebrated for both his wisdom and his wit, people referred to Royal as “Coach” on the UT Austin campus and all over the state. Coach Royal passed away on November 6, 2012 and is a football and Texas legend second to none. Access Access to the Darrell K. Royal Collection is restricted to visitors of the H.J. Lutcher Stark Center for Physical Culture and Sports and must be requested in writing prior to arrival at the Center. The research request/proposal should explain the proposed project, the expected outcome, and institutional affiliation, if any.
