90 Years of Texas Tech History

[@axgoat]

My mother, father, two uncles and an aunt all went to Tech. One of my uncles, Herman Bailey, played football for the Raiders in the late forties or early fifties. I have all my mother's Tech yearbooks and I enjoy looking through them. College students certainly looked different then! :)

Happy 90th anniversary, Texas Tech! I liked this video a great deal. Nicely done.

You forgot to mention how the President of Texas Tech banned students from using Memorial Circle because 13 people had the temerity to protest the Viet Nam war by standing silently as part of the national 1979 Viet Nam Moratorium day. Horrors! Students exercising, albeit silently, their first amendment rights! The following Christmas and many Christmases following, no one could watch the Christmas lights being turned on because of this. However, in 1973--my freshman year--the fraternities got into streaking. Tech made Time or Newsweek for having the longest streak in the US. The guys from Carpenter Hall ran around naked for like 13 hours. One of the Kampus Kops pulled a gun on a clearly unarmed student. This outraged the fraternities so much that they turned over a campus police car, broke windows in the police station and set things on fire. The Tech administration, which was so fierce and tough on the unarmed, silent Viet Nam war protesters, totally caved to the frat boys--no one got arrested or banned or anything. The administration just told the fraternity boys to confine their streaking to campus. Oh, authoritarian societies--ridiculous actions.
