Abstract

Description

Photograph of a student handing a tortilla to another Texas Tech student with the words "Just toss it" written underneath. The image appeared on the cover of the September 15, 1995 issue of The University Daily newspaper with the accompanying caption, "Endangered: This 'Save the Tortilla' sign was used as the background for Karen Fortner, a junior communication studies major from Kaufman, who was passing out tortillas to students to make a stand against the ruling that the tossing of tortillas at home football games will garner the team a 15-yard penalty. Fortner wants administrators to allow students to pick Tech traditions, she said. About six other students helped her Thursday."
