HOW times change. In 1961, Texas Tech University created a Playboy magazine feature in its in-house organ La Ventana. The female student body was portrayed as Playmates. It all ended in the 1981 edition.
As one of the oldest traditions at Texas Tech University, La Ventana (Spanish for “the window”) serves as the school’s primary source of recorded history.
