28th Homecoming Revue The Toreador scored a first by coming out with

a three-section special edition which was the largest in the college's history. Much time and labor went into its production but it was made especially effec­tive by being distributed at the Homecoming pep ral­ly Friday night, Nov. 8 wi.th the announcement of the queen. Bill Dean, cheerleader, beanis ' over the clever edition.

Sharla Pepper, junior froni Lubbock, was elec­ted Tech's fourth Homecoming queen to reign _over the festivities. She is head girl cheerleader and a member of Delta Delta Delta. Her attendants left to right were Peggy Miller, Mary Katherine Birkel­bach, Marilyn Miller and Pat Rainer.

The Saddle Tramp Circle was not fi.nished in time for dedication as was planned, but a hugh effi.­gy was burned. Outstanding events were the Aggie Club breakfast honoring retiring Dean of Agriculture W. L. Stangel, the silver anniversary reunion for the class of '32 and announcement of plans for th~ new, enlarged stadium.

Thousands View Parade

RED RAIDER PUPPETS were featured in the Kappa Alpha Theta float that won first place in the sorority d ivision. It predicted that the Raiders would "String 'Em Up". The Matador pulled the strings for the live "puppets" and received wide acclaim from the crowd. ·

SECOND PLACE float in the fraternity division was Phi Kappa Psi's d inosaur .convey­ing the idea of " Tech Through the Ages".

"The Stadi.um Story" was the theme of the col­orful halftime ceremonies. Formations by the " Big Red" band and AFROTC traced the development from Tech's first football game on Fair Park Field to the present Jones Stadium and looked ahead to 1960 and the enlarged stadium. During th.e cere­mony oldtimers from Tech gridiron history ~ere in­troduced on the field. They were Byron (Babe) Hallmark, Lubbock, quarterback of the '25 football team; Hurley Carpenter, Lubbock, captain of the '26 team; Ross Ayers, Lubbock, captain of the '32 team; Freddie Brown, Lubbock and Glenn Lewis, Lamesa, two of the '47 co-captains.

The Raiders were bitterly disappointed as they

dropped the football game to the University of Tulsa 3-0 before a crowd of 18,500. It was the second year in a row that they have lost to the Hurricanes on a field goa l.

Other float winners were Sigma Chi, sweep­stakes for the second consecutive year wi.th the "new" stadium structure; all campus - Aggie Club's flower­ed float covered with real mums; fraternity - Phi Delta Theta's "Seven Coffins" for Tech's SWC opponents. Second place in the sorority division went to Delta Delta Delta's Jack-In-The-Box.

A dance in the Mun icipal col iseum with Char­lie Barnett's orchestra brought another week-end reunion to a close for Tech exes.

CARD TRICKS were displayed in the student section under the guidance of the Saddle Tramps. The cards showed up mil for exes during the clear sunny after­noon.

THE Red Raider football team will have a new home.

Plans to expand the Clifford B. and Audrey Jones Stadium on the Tech campus to seat about 50,000 football fans have been approved by the Campus Stadium Expansion Committee.

The expansion was planned following the Raid­ers entrance into the Southwest Conference. The enlarged and remodeled stadium is to be ready by 1960 when the Raiders meet their full conference schedule with four home games.

"The new Jones Stadium will be a tremendous addition to the Texas Tech campus and continues our efforts to provide Tech with fine, progressive campus facilities," Marshall Pennington, chairman of the CSEC and the school's vice-president and comptroller, stated. .

At the cost of approximately $1,700,000 for the

N.OY.EM&ER, 1957

entire renovation and expansion program, Jones Stadium will take on a completely new look. Plans call for the removal of the east stands from their present position eastward about 250 feet. An ex­cavated bowl of about 30 feet depth will be con­structed between the two stands with its, sides rim­med by comfortable seats. The end zones also will have additional seats.

The south end of Jones Stadium will be bor­dered by a modernistic concourse between a two­story building at either end. The south end build­ings will contain dressing rooms, coaches' offices storage and training rooms. At the north end of the stadium a tiled patio will extend from the top of the bowl seats to concession stands at the ex­treme north edge of the structure.

The press box at the stadium will be replaced (Continued on Next Page)

Floyd A. Wooldridge is secretary-treasurer and a director of The Elgeri Corporation in Dallas, which is concerned with electronics and well-log­ging.

He was graduated from Tech in 1931 with a BA in business administration. During his college career he was outstanding in football and track (broad jump). He was a member of the Double T Association, president of the senior class and was elected "Man of the Year" in 1931.

by a longer, larger facility in which the top two decks will be specially fitted for press, radio and television transmission use, while the lowest deck will be glass-enclosed, air-conditioned and fitted with upholstered opera-type chairs for 168 persons.

Funds for expanding Jones Stadium to a facil­ity comparable to other Southwest Conference stadiums will be raised primarily through the sale of seat option privileges and the receipt of large athletic program support gifts.

An annually . renewable option to a particular seat in the new stadium will be offered in three classes, governed by the desirability of the seat's location. The : best bowl and stands seats may be optioned for $300; the secoiJ.d best for $200; the third best for $100, all in contribution to the build­ing fund. The purchase of a seat option does not preclude the necessity <if buying annual game ad­mittance tickets. It does, however, assure the hold­er of the privilege <if using the same seat from year to year if he so wishes.

He is a member of the Church of Christ and the Masonic Lodge. He and his wife have three daughters, Marian, 15,· Martha 13 and Ruth, 10.

Option certificates, legally transferable, will be issued by the Athletic Department. They will be in effect for a period of 15 years from 1960 through the 1974 season.

The privilege of dedicating specific facilities to be incorporated in the expanding stadium is avail­able to those desiring memorial opportunities.

Adequate seating. reservations for students, visiting fans, and other preferred groups have been arranged.

THE T,EXAS TECHSAN

FIRST SWC PLAY It's appropriate that the man

who co-captained Texas Tech's first Border Omference cham­pionship basketball team should. coach the Red Raiders in their first try for the Southwest Con­ference title.

That's as far, however, as the parallel should ~o, to listen to Coach Polk Robison. H e's not a bit riled by down-state estimates that place the Raiders seventh.

"In fact, on the basis of the fine teams in the conference this year, the experts would be quite justi­fied in selecting us for eighth," observes Polk. "Some do say we should be placed in the cellar. I say that if there is a sub-base­ment that's where we ought to be."

Polk does admit he thinks the Raiders, while undoubtedly not finishing high, may give some of the teams trouble.

Tech may be in-and-out this season. ·That's generally the way it is when there's only one senior on the squad.

Bobby Wilson of Lipan is the only senior, since Logan Cum­mings of Hereford is foregoing basketball because of ministerial work.

Here's the way the squad reads: Returning Lettermen-

Wilson, 6-4, Lipan, forward; Leon Hill, 6-6, Sudan, forward­center; Chuck Key, 6-3, Lubbock, forward; Charlie Lynch, 6-2, Su­dan, guard; Gerald Myers, 5-10, Borger, guard; Wade Wolfe, 6-5, Lubbock, forward. Sopl:wmores-,-

Don Apple, 6-2, Aledo; Gene Ar­rington, 6-4, Amarillo; Robert Echols, 6-1, Amarillo; Dale Mc­Keehan, 6-5, Sweetwater; Pat Noakes, 6-9 1-2, Fort Worth; Sid­ney. Seligman, 5-11, San Anto1.1io; Janies Wiley, 6-5, Lubbock; Pres­ton Davis, 5-9, Lubbock.

Bert Williams of Farwe}J will probably be kept out of com- · petition this season, but will still

NOV·EM&ER, 1957

with bill holmes have three years of varsity com­petition ahead of him.

Bill Pfluger of Eden won't be able to play this year, the doctor has ruled. Bill had a corrective operation on a knee injured in high school football. Last year, as it was healing, he broke a leg. That's too much for one year. Bill's the fellow who scored 72 points for Eden against Paint Rock a few years back.

(Before getti~g too far into the column, in case you are wonder­ing, the year was 1933-34 that Tech won its first Border Con­ference cage title; and the cap­tains were Polk Robison and Al­vin Crews. Coached by Dell Mor­gan, the team compiled an 18-5 record.)

Just a guess, but Tech's start­ing lineup against Abilene Christ­ian College in Lubbock Munici­pal Coliseum Dec. 2 will probably include Hill and Wilson at for­wards, Noakes at center, Myers and Lynch at guards. That start­ing lineup averages about 6-5. The entire squad average is 6-3 1-2.

Complicating the picture is that two of Tech's top three scorers­Ned Underwood and Cummings­from last season were among those lost. Hill was the leading scorer.

Tech takes part in the South­west Conference tournament in

Even so often you hear "what's happened to the football team?" At this writing, through the first seven games (1-6 record), nothing has happened except that the Raiders have done a remarkable job of staying together under a terrific seige of misfortune.

At the close of spring training, Tech coaches knew they wouldn't have a great team but it did look like one that could surprise some folks.

Since spring training this hap­pened : Doug Duncan, leading groundgainer; Duke Frisbie, fast­est halfback; Gene Lay, top soph­omore line prospect, and some les­ser lights, were victims of grades.

Floyd Hood, Tech's best line­man last fall, was sidelined when vertebrae pulled loose while he was lifting his baby.

Dwayne Powell, good sopho­more. halfback prospect, found that a neck injury kept recurring during the summer and was for­ced to give up the sport.

History

Coming .

Alive

for the great southwest and a doctorate program

W HEN a person works toward his doctor's degree he pushes forward, varifies and per­fects discoveries or makes new ones. The

historian must capture the spirit and excitement of "dead subjects," unearth new information and fill in the many missing gaps. Also he must have a testing ground, something to offer him ideas.

The destiny of the Tech History Department is the making of a well-known. doctorate program. Although it has awarded only one such degree, it is increasing its stature. In 1954 the PhD was re­ceived by Dr. Zane Mason who is now head of the History Department at · Lincoln Memorial Univer-sity in Tennessee. ·

A student at Tech working on his doctorate may major in American history only. At present there are five candidates working in residence on their degrees, and they are all temporary instruc­tors in the college. Two others have completed the requirements and are teaching in colleges in the Southwest. Most of these have done their under-graduate work at other colleges. ·

When the program was initiated in 1950 there was a regular staff of eight. With increasing res­ponsibilities staff additions have been made and there are now 13 permanent positions 12 of which are held by persons with a PhD. The' education of these men represent the institutions of the Univer­sities dt Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Texas and Yale. They are specialists in the South­west, Latin America, Europe, and the history of

IN THE TWO years of its existence the Southwest Collection has already expanded out of its allotted space. The valuable materia l is also used frequently by under graduate students for research.

science, both cultural and intellectual. · A factor that plays a tremendous part in the

future of this department is that it has available for its "lab" the Southwest Collection. This spec­iality, which has only been building up since 1955, is in the West Texas Museum on the campus and is rapidly establishing itself as a research center in history for the Southwest.

Few know of the work involved in gathering together the scraps of information about events and people that make history. The Southwest Col­lection now includes an · excellent library of 4,000 books dealing with the history of the Lubbock area, Indians, ranching and cattle, a fine group of manu­script ranch records of such important ranches as the Matador and Spur, some early colonization papers, area newspapers, microfilms and other archival material. A conuni.ttee of 26 people is giv­ing of its interest to develop the collection. Sey­mour V. Connor is the archivist.

No other major institution is concerned with · the preservation of South Plains and Southwest culture, yet everyone recognizes its tremendous value to future generations of America. Tech is the logical place to undertake such a project and the Southwest Collection will in time make the college a famous research center for historians, attracting scholars and writers from many places. There is an urgency in this appeal because so many valuable papers and documents are lost each year that might have been saved, and so many old-timers are pass-

ing on whose rermmscences and memoirs would have enriched the future of coming generations.

Roy Dunn, assistant archivist, has ascertained that many theses and. dissertations in the future will center around business recQrds because busi­ness, economic and social history would benefit and do · service to today's businesses. It is the aim of this collection to acquire· as many original docu­ments and records of businesses that it can.

"History is the foundation stone on which learning in social sciences rest. It prepares people to understand their own time and culture as well as being of use to those entering the business field and political arena," commented Dr. William Pearce, head of the department.

Joe B. Frantz, associate professor of history at the University of Texas in a pamphlet called "Business History" wrote: "Perhaps the most not­ablf~ academic study of a Texas business . institu­tion is the account of the business activities of the Matador Ranch, written as a doctoral dissertation by · Dr. Pearce. It illustrates a point. Had he con­cerned himself with the tinsel of cowboy gun play and· 'soiled doves,' he would have made a book out of his dissertation long before now. But at his own expense he wrote instead a thorough study of how a fereign syndicate operates a sprawling ranch em­pire 5,000 miles from home.

"Such briefly is the status of business history in Texas as of fall, 1957. In 'truth, it has not gotten

off the ground, but, without being unduly optimis­tic, it is stirring.

"To date, not one good history of the develop­ment of American business has been written. The principal reason has been that not enough was known by writers, or by businessmen themselves for that matter, of how modern business has evol­ved.

"Steadily now, after a late start, the pieces are being put together-eompany by company, industry by industry. How much Texas gets its pieces into that jigsaw remains to· be seen," concluded Frantz.

During Tech's existence 30 books have been written by members of the history department. In­cluded in these are two novels, texts and scholarly works in special fields and general interest.

They frequently write papers for state, region­al and national programs as well as contribute ar­ticles and book reviews to scholarly publications. The work of these men and their research is done quietly without fanfare and then suddenly publi­cations increase rapidly.

Dr. David M. Vigness was the first person from Tech to receive a Fullbright Fellowship and he is teaching this year at the University of Chili in Santiago. Dr. Ernest Wallace was awarded a Ford Fellowship in 1952 to do a year's advanced study.

The department heads preceding Pearce are Dr. John C. Granbery, Professor Gus Ford, 1933-36;

Alexander were advised by the doctor to give up football after suffering concussions.

Only letterman quarterback, John Riddle, broke a hand in September and played fewer than a half dozen plays in Tech's first five games.

Charlie Dixon, Te.ch's best yards-per-try rusher for two years, suffered a back injury in practice and was able to play only sparingly ... until Baylor game, when he suffered a sprained ankle and was forced to miss next two games, except for one play against Oklahoma State.

Guard Billy Woodin, second teamer, broke a thumb and missed several games.

Tackle Winston Boeker didn't recover from an eye infection in time to play.

And let's not forget the 'flu. Tech called one good practice the week before the LSU game, went in early that time. And the man who missed the 19-14 loss com­pletely was Ronnie Rice, Tech's leading runner through seven games, at least.

Throw all the preceding at a good, experienced team with a lot of depth and you still deal a mor­tal blow to that team's chances.

Throw all that upon the young team the Raiders have, watch them stick together and play good football against a rugged schedule and you see why this writer can maintain that among the 14 col­lege football teams he has been associated with he has never seen one more intensely coached or one with more spirit.

The team is a credit to Tech, to their coaches, and to their cap­tains, Charlie Moore and Pat Hartsfield.

All these progresses take imagination and they are developed because of the growing consciousness of administrators for the need of graduate pro­grams. It is from past history that we make many decisions for the future therefore we must provide good facilities for those who wish to do special study so that they may pass on a general know­ledge to the masses.

The Tech history department is assuming its role in this training and in a few years it will be interesting to see the history that it has made for itself.
