  • Lubbock Comprehensive Plan Introduction
    Population and Economics 2004 Update Report Lubbock Comprehensive Plan Introduction The Population and Economics Report is an element of the Lubbock Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of this report is to evaluate the structure of the economy and demography of Lubbock and produce projections for population, land use and economic development. The Population and Economics Report should be evaluated on a timely basis to reflect changes in the economy and demography of Lubbock. The Population and Economics report is used by businesses, governmental agencies, churches, students, and civic organizations to determine needs and develop strategies to meet those needs. To better serve users of this report a greater emphasis is on the graphic presentation of statistical data. The Population and Economics Report is divided into sections on the economy, population and goals. Evaluation of the economic structure is fundamental to the population analysis because economic and human resources are the foundation of any community. Goals reflect the desires of the citizens to increase economic opportunity and improve the quality of life for their community and to focus the available resources to achieve these goals. Most chapters in the report are subdivided into Historic, Existing and Outlook sections to illustrate the evolution of the specific topics. To accommodate the increased interest in water usage and planning, projections are made to the year 2050 for the City of Lubbock and the Retail Trade area. It should be noted that while the Planning Department of the City of Lubbock is responsible for this report and great care has been used in the assembly and review of this document, accuracy is limited by the reliability of the current Land Use Data File and the accuracy of data obtained from other sources.

    Texas Tech University Office of Communications & Marketing Writers Style Guide A comprehensive guide for content producers in the Office of Communications & Marketing to enhance writing skills and ensure continuity and clarity of message for Texas Tech University. Chief Marketing & Communications Officer: Matt Dewey Guidelines for Writers June 24, 2021 The student body at Texas Tech University is as diverse as it has ever been, with the university recently reaching the enrollment requirement of Hispanic Serving Institution designation thanks to a Hispanic population that totals more than 25 percent of the overall student body. Just as diverse as the student body is every other aspect of Texas Tech, from the colleges and departments of study to the buildings, student organizations and intricate details encompassing every square inch of the campus that makes it such a unique and rewarding place to study and work. As content producers, we are tasked with telling the story of Texas Tech and its people – the faculty, staff, students, research endeavors, community engagement and so on. Doing so requires a great attention to detail, a task that can be daunting given all the various aspects of the university we encounter each day. In order to tell that story in as clear and concise a manner as possible, a clear set of writing style and grammatical guidelines is necessary. The Associated Press Stylebook is an excellent starting point and should be used in most instances, but it does not get into the intricate details of life on the Texas Tech campus. Therefore, it became necessary to develop an enhanced stylebook specifically detailed for Texas Tech.

  • Will Rogers: Native American Cowboy, Philosopher, and Presidential
    UNIVERSIDAD DE CUENCA Escuela de Lengua y Literatura Inglesa ABSTRACT This senior thesis, “Will Rogers: Native American Cowboy, Philosopher, and Presidential Advisor,” presents the story of Will Rogers, indicating especially the different facets of his life that contributed to his becoming a legend and a tribute to the American culture. Will Rogers is known mostly as one of the greatest American humorist of his time and, in fact, of all times. This work focuses on the specific events and experiences that drove him to break into show business, Hollywood, and the Press. It also focuses on the philosophy of Will Rogers as well as his best known sayings and oft-repeated quotations. His philosophy, his wit, and his mirth made him an important and influential part of everyday life in the society of the United States in his day and for years thereafter. This project is presented in four parts. First, I discuss Rogers’ childhood and his life as a child-cowboy. Second, I detail how he became a show business star and a popular actor. Third, I recall his famous quotations and one-liners that are well known nowadays. Finally, there is a complete description of the honors and tributes that he received, and the places that bear Will Rogers name. Reading, writing, and talking about Will Rogers, the author of the phrase “I never met a man I didn’t like,” is to tell about a life-story of “completeness and self-revelation,” because he was a great spirit, a great writer, and a great human being.
