Texas Tech University’s Year Book features a Playboy tribute with Playmates and sexy tips

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. Its mission is to produce an outstanding depiction of the life of Texas Tech students in an accurate, appealing and innovative manner with broad coverage, in-depth stories, dynamic photographs, tight organization and creative design.

Nostalgia hounds can search the archives as eBooks here. (Pictures 5 in our gallery is fantastic.)
