Acetylene still shows the way Your nicest textiles—as well as vitamins, headache remedies, plastic garden hose,

or welding on your car—may stem from this versatile gas

FORTY YEARS A G O acetylene gas made from calcium carbide was used for home and street lighting, and was in common use for bicycle and automobile lights. Though these old lights have long since gone out, acetylene has gone on to chemical greatness.

IN CHEMICALS—Today, acetylene is the parent of hun­dreds of chemicals and chemical products used to make plastics, insect sprays, vitamins, aspirin, sulfa drugs and many other things.

Acetylene is the source of some of the basic chemicals in dynel, the new wonder textile fiber. It also goes into the Vinylite plastics used in beautiful home furnishing ma­terials, protective coatings, and a host of other products.

IN METAL FORMING —In the production and use of metals, acetylene teamed up with oxygen has revolution­ized many industries. From mines-to-mills-to-manufacturer,

you will find oxy-acetylene cutting, welding and metal conditioning.

5 0 YEARS OF P R O G R E S S - T h e people of Union Car­bide have produced acetylene for over half a century. Through continuous research they have made many re­markable acetylene discoveries important in the lives of all of us.

A COUPLE of interesting things are in the wind here at Georgia Tech. One is the possible admission of women

to regular day school and the other is the formation of an Atlanta Alumni Club.

The problem of admission of women came about through a petition from the Women's Chamber of Commerce of At­lanta which was submitted to the Board of Regents, University System of Geor­gia. Prior to that time there had been some requests for admission by indi­vidual women, which had all been turned down.

I do not think that there will be any great stampede on the registrar on the part of women wanting to take the courses offered here at Tech. My thinking is that there will be only a few to begin with; possibly 10-15. The figure of 50-100 is being bandied about, but I doubt if we will get that high any time in the near future, if the Board of Regents decides to admit them.

There are several things which seem to favor their being allowed to enter. Nearly every college in the country, with the exception of the purely military institutions, admits women. This includes engineering colleges such as M.I.T., Carnegie Tech, Cal Tech, etc. They can get the type of courses offered here only at Tech, unless they go out of the state. This is discrimination.

Women have been and are being admitted to our ex­tension division courses, the Night School, and Southern Tech, which operates under the extension division. Also, there have been a couple of hundred women on the campus since the war, and this has not seemed to cause any undue strain among our all-male student body.

Whereas, a couple of years ago there was not sufficient housing for our male students, now there is surplus housing which could be used by the women. Adequate separate lavatory facilities are also available now.

As long as the entrance requirements are as tough as they are and as long as we retain the type faculty we now have, I feel sure that there will be no lowering of standards due to the admission of women. Should some of them come here as a lark, or looking for husbands, they certainly would not last long. Tech is tough.

On the other side of the ledger is the tradition of Georgia Tech — it has always been a sort of male sanctuary; how­ever, not by choice of the students, I feel sure. Some of the alumni will not favor a break in tradition, but someone always is opposed to change no matter how sound the rea­soning. I am not saying that they are right or wrong, but that is the way it is.

The matter rests with the Board of Regents. I hope that their decision will suit you, the members of the Alumni Association.

•y ATLANTA ALUMNI CLUB TO BE STARTED

There will be a meeting of Georgia Tech Alumni of Greater Atlanta on Thursday night, April 24, at the Bilt-more Hotel. This will be a dinner meeting, beginning at 6:30 P.M. Those in the Atlanta area will get notices in the mail about the meeting.

Amazing as it may seem, there has not been an Atlanta Club since the early 20's. It is felt that a club here is neces­sary to the well-being of our Alma Mater, Georgia Tech.

R. E. Hightower, Textile Executive, Dies Suddenly

Robert E. Hightower, '12, president and treasurer of Thomaston Mills, Thomaston, Ga., died unexpectedly March 12, 1952, in the Upson County Hospital. He was 62.

Mr. Hightower was also president of Thomaston Broadcasting Co. and Com­munity Enterprises, Inc., past president of Thomaston Kiwanis Club and Thom­aston Country Club, Upson County representative in the state legislature, member of the Board of Trustees, Rob­ert E. Lee High School, director of the Central of Georgia Railway Co., mem­ber of Capital City and Piedmont Driv­ing Clubs in Atlanta, Sigma Nu Fra­ternity and many other organizations.

"Mister Rob," as he was affectionately known, was a brother to the late Wil­liam Harrison Hightower, '09, succeed­ing him to the presidency of Thomas­ton Mills, and of Julian T. Hightower, '19, now a member of the Georgia Tech Alumni Foundation. George Hightower, '37, executive with Thomaston Mills, is a nephew. All of the Thomaston Hightowers have figured prominently

PRESIDENT'S REPORT PROVIDES INTERESTING STATISTICS Figures given in the Annual Report

of the President show that there were 5,174 regular day-time students in Tech during 1950-51. The senior class was by far the largest of those enrolled, numbering 1,630.

During 1950-51, Electrical Engineer­ing continued to have the largest enroll­ment of any school with 856. This was followed closely by Industrial Manage­ment, 849; Mechanical Engineering, 703; Industrial Engineering, 509; Civil Engi­neering, 500; Architecture, 472; Chemi­cal Engineering, 465; Textile Engineer­ing, 312; Aeronautical Engineering, 270; Chemistry, 87; Physics, 81; Ceramic En­gineering, 48; miscellaneous and un­classified, 24.

C A M P U S O N A L I T I E S JESSE W. MASON

Dean of Engineering

Among the administrative positions at the Georgia Institute of Technology is that of the Dean of Engineering. This office exercises supervision over the de­gree granting engineering schools, Architecture, Drawing and Mechanics. The current Dean is Dr. Jesse W. Mason, who is 43 years old and has held the position since 1948.

Dean Mason was born in Louisville, Kentucky, and attended high school there. He received his bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from the Uni­versity of Louisville in 1930 and his doctor's degree from Yale in 1935. He received an honorary degree of Doctor of Engineering from the University of Louisville in 1950. He was associated with the Girdler Corporation in Louis­ville, Kentucky; the Palmer Asbestos and Rubber Corporation of St. Math­ews, Kentucky, and the Connecticut State Water Commission prior to enter­ing teaching. He became assistant pro­fessor of chemical engineering at the University of Florida in 1935. While there he served under B. R. Van Leer as Dean from 1935 to 1937. Dean Mason came to Georgia Tech in 1938 as assis­tant professor of chemical engineering; was made associate professor in 1940, and in 1941, on the death of Dr. Harold Bunger, he became professor and head of chemical engineering which posi­tion he held until being promoted to Dean in 1948. He married Camille Fanelli of Louisville, Kentucky, in 1935. His son, Alfred, is a student in the De­catur Public Schools.

THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

School of INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING IN 1923, Georgia Tech inaugurated a

fourth option in Mechanical Engi­neering known as the Industrial Engi­neering Option. The following excerpt is from the bulletin of that year:

"There has been an insistent de­mand from alumni and other friends of the school that there should be included certain business courses which will fit the student for entering the executive field of the industries." A student elected this option in his

senior year, and was required to take four courses in order to meet the re­quirements of this curriculum. During the period from 1924 to 1946, approxi­mately 300 students were graduated un­der this curriculum.

Industrial Engineering continued as an option of Mechanical Engineering until the mid-year of 1945, at which time the Department of Industrial En­gineering was established. Prof. Frank F. Groseclose, formerly Assistant Di­rector, Department of Mechanics, U. S. Military Academy, was appointed head of this department and has remained in that capacity. Prior to World War II Colonel Groseclose had taught at V.P.I., University of N. C. and N. C. State. By the end of 1945 the staff of the department numbered three men: Prof. Groseclose, Associate Prof. D. B. Wilcox, and Assistant Prof. J. S. Dwyer. Prof. Wilcox was on the staff of the Department of Mechanical Engineering in 1937-8 and had taught courses in the Industrial Engineering Option, Prof. Dwyer came from Westinghouse. The first class (3 men) graduated in Feb. 1946. From Feb. 1946 to Dec. 1951 the School has granted the degree of Bache­lor of Industrial Engineering to 789 men, and the degree of Master of Science to 74 men. Even though the School of Industrial Engineering is the newest degree-granting School at Geor­gia Tech, it now has the fourth highest enrollment of the Engineering schools at Tech.

Industrial Engineering includes the analysis of a proposed product with re­gard to the possible steps and sequences of operations involved in its manufac­ture, a selection of the most efficient machines to perform those operations, the layout of the plant and shops to provide for the flow of the product from one machine to another, organiza­tion of the material supply, avoidance or elimination of bottlenecks, together with the related problems of quality and cost control, testing, inspection and personnel relations.

The successful industrial engineer

March-April, 1952

must possess special interests and abili­ties in the analysis of the human, tech­nical, and cost problems of modern manufacturing.

The physical facilities of the school have expanded in proportion to the growth of the student enrollment. In 1946 the department was given space on the top floor of the Mechanical Engi­neering Building. In 1947 a larger area was required and the department was given new and larger quarters in Swann Hall. In 1949 The A. French Building was vacated by the School of Textile Engineering, and the School of Industrial Engineering was given the main floor of this building for class­rooms and offices, and half of the base­ment for laboratories. Present plans will allow the School to occupy the second floor of The A. French Building in June of this year.

The laboratories are well equipped for undergraduate instruction and for graduate research. The acquisition of laboratory equipment was greatly abet­ted by a generous grant by the Rich Foundation. The School is presently de­veloping an accurate timing device ca­pable of measuring therblig and ele­mental time values to 1/10,000 minute. Use of this and other specialized equip­ment will be extremely helpful in grad­uate research.

The present faculty is composed of eleven full-time members. Of these men, two hold the degree of Doctor of

Philosophy. Two other faculty mem­bers are on leave of absence to work on the Ph.D. degree — one at N.Y.U., and one at Johns-Hopkins. Anticipat­ing the return of these men, and the addition of other qualified faculty mem­bers, the School plans to greatly ex­pand the graduate program in Indus­trial Engineering, with a view towards offering the Ph.D. degree in Industrial Engineering in the near future.

That the growth of the School of In­dustrial Engineering should be so rapid is not surprising. The increasing mag­nitude and complexity of modern in­dustrial organizations demanded the de­velopment of a new branch of engineer­ing. New problems have arisen and new techniques have been developed during recent years which are peculiar to and characteristic of Industrial En­gineering. The administration of Geor­gia Tech recognized these facts and took a step forward by establishing the School of Industrial Engineering. That industry welcomed men with this type of training is attested by the excellent placement of our graduates, and the responsible positions that these men hold.

In times such as these, it is impera­tive that our country maintain its posi­tion of industrial supremacy. The School of Industrial Engineering is proud of the contribution that its gradu­ates have made towards the fulfillment of this goal.

8 THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

ED D O D D -Cartoonist' with a purpose

TECH men excel in all fields. Every­one knows that the architectural

and engineering professions are headed by our alumni. We also have in our files numerous doctors, lawyers, teach­ers, ministers, military leaders, and business tycoons — all of whom are recognized as tops. But here is a man who has chosen a vocation some might think strange for a Tech alumnus. He is Edward Benton Dodd, Class of '25 — otherwise known as Ed Dodd, creater of the "Mark Trail" comic strip, which now appears in more than 275 news­papers.

Dodd says he was 49 last November, but he gives his birthdate as November 7, 1904. It really doesn't make any difference whether he's 49 or 47; in those years he's learned the secret of becoming a successful comic-strip artist.

His strip veers from the ordinary in that it's full of camping and woods lore. He's famous for his drawings of animals from all parts of the country, and they're as authentic as the creatures themselves.

A minister's son, he is Georgia-born (town of Lafayette) and started out with intentions of becoming an archi­tect. That's what he studied when he attended the Georgia School of Tech­nology. After that he studied illus­tration at the New York Art Students League.

Daniel Carter Beard, who founded the Boy Scouts of America and was a painter of animals, probably was the one person who got Dodd interested in drawing animals. Dodd got to know Beard when he worked for him at his camp for boys in Pennsylvania and studied animal drawing with him. The strip creator was also for three years special instructor in camping, wood­craft and nature study at New York Military Academy, Cornwall, N. Y.

By this time Dodd had developed some of the same desire to go places outdoors that he later put into the char­acter of Mark Trail, and teaching camp­ing and woodcraft didn't give him enough of this opportunity.

So for three years he guided horse­back pack-train trips through Yellow­stone National Park, then ran his own dude ranch in Wyoming. One summer he worked with the rangers in Glacier National Park and another summer went bicycle camping in Norway and spent considerable time in a whaling village. He has traveled and camped all over the United States, Norway, other parts of Europe and visited around England, France, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Cuba.

March-April, 1952

That's partly why his strip is so true to life.

Beginning his career as a cartoonist. for nine years he drew a Sunday page, "Back Home Again," for United Feature Syndicate, but he wanted to do some­thing more closely connected with his interest in the outdoors. He finally de­veloped "Mark Trail," which he started for the New York Post Syndicate in April, 1946.

From a daily strip, the comic went on to a Sunday page, and when its success was established, Dodd left New York to return to Atlanta to live near his parents. (His second wife had died in 1943 and he has no children.)

His feature is serious business to Ed Dodd. When he first thought about do­ing it, he took courses in story telling and made a special study of comic-strip technique. He knows just what he's doing when he plans his story, and knows how to create interest and sus­pense.

There's nothing formal about the working atmosphere of the Dodd apart­ment. He, his two assistants and secre­tary have regular office hours, but Dodd works in a loud plaid hunting shirt and slacks and there's always a pipe in his mouth.

A discussion may break up the work when someone asks questions like:

"What kind of action would best fit in this spot? How do you think Mark would handle the kid now?"

"What kind of trees would you see most often in the Tennessee moun­tains?"

"Would moss (and what kind?) grow on an elm tree in Georgia?"

Dodd loves hunting and fishing . . . has camped and hunted in 20 different states . . . and twice every year travels to Northeast Pennsylvania to a special fishing spot.

He's the kind of person who makes friends wherever he goes; his sense of humor and good showmanship, com­bined with that slow Georgia drawl and feel for an audience make him tops on the list of lecturers in demand.

One reason he has so many friends is that he answers every letter he gets . . . and as soon as possible. Naturally, he gets all kinds of letters, from those asking how to make sourdough bread to the woman who wants to know how to get rid of the flying squirrels in her attic.

You'd think that anyone who's had as

much camping experience as Dodd would have a separate file for "narrow escapes" alone, but he confesses to only one.

"That was the time," he grins, "when I woke one morning and saw a bear in my tent. I left mighty fast in the oppo­site direction!"

The incident later was used in a strip sequence . . . only Dodd had the bear make off with the breakfast bacon. In fact, all of his outdoor life seems to fill one big reservoir of material for his strip.

"All the things I did all those years in the outdoors," he drawls, "now I've drawn."

His outstanding work in the field of newspaper cartooning during 1948 re­sulted in his being selected by a jury of judges for the annual Sigma Delta Chi Distinguished Service Award.

Also, in 1951, he was awarded the American Forestry Association's Con­servation Award for "outstanding con­tributions in the field of news." He recently addressed the 24th annual Georgia Press Institute held at the Uni­versity of Georgia.

ED DODD Creator of "Mark Trail''

This is Texas, son — and these four Ramblin' Wrecks are gathered to honor Gov. Allan Shivers of the Lone Star State. Left to right they are Eddie Foxhall, '32, Carl Harrison. '31, Gov. Shivers, Wendell Harrison. '33, and James A. Anthony, '32. The Tech men, all of whom live in Mem phis, Texas, say they are trying to hold their own with the rest of the state. Looks like they're doing all right.

PORTRAIT OF "UNCLE HEINIE" TO BE PURCHASED John Henry Henika, popularly known

as "Uncle Heinie," died last year at the age of 95, after half a century with Georgia Tech.

A portrait has been painted by Mr. Lewis C. Gregg, a reproduction of which is shown. This portrait will be hung temporarily in the Bradley Build­ing; then will be hung in the new Price Gilbert Library when completed in late 1953.

The ANAK Society has already con­tributed $250 on the cost of this por­trait, but can go no further toward pay­ment. About $200 more is needed to complete payment for the portrait and frame. Those interested, please send S5.00 to Dean George Griffin, % Georgia Tech. If more is raised than is needed, you will get a pro-rata refund on your

DAVE HARRIS TO BE COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER

David William Harris, president and a director of Universal Oil Products Company, Chicago, 111., will deliver the address at the 69th Commencement Ex­ercises of the Georgia Institute of Tech­nology, on June 9, 1952. He is the son of the late Nathaniel E. Harris, ex-gover­nor of the State of Georgia, and founder of the Georgia Institute of Technology.

A native of Macon, Georgia, Mr. Har­ris graduated from Georgia Tech in 1912. He then joined the Denver Gas and Electric Company as an engineer, and in 1913 was made director of the budget and assistant treasurer of Cities Service Company. Since that time he has been quite prominent in the petro­leum field, holding top positions with a number of outstanding companies in­cluding Empire Gas and Fuel Company, Indian Territory, Illuminating Oil Com­pany, Orange State Oil Company, and Arkansas Natural Gas Corporation.

In 1945, Mr. Harris was selected to as­sume the top executive post with Uni­versal Oil Products Company and under his direction the company has advanced to a predominant position in the pe­troleum industry.

In addition to his varied business duties, Mr. Harris is also active in in­dustry and civic affairs. He is a Coun­selor of the American Petroleum Insti­tute, director of the Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association, and a member of the Western Society of Engineers. Dur­ing World War II, as vice-president and general manager of Cities Service De­fense Corp., he constructed and oper­ated for the United States Army Ord­nance Department the Maumelle Ord­nance Plant, which manufactured am­monium picrate (Explosive "D") .

In 1948, Mr. Harris was honored by the City of Macon, Georgia, in recogni­tion of his outstanding success as a leading petroleum executive.

10 THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

A Helluva Shortage ( B y Associate Dean Fred W. Ajax)

AT THE suggestion of Roane Beard, we are writing this little article to give

you a few notes and comments on our engineering placement work this year. Doubtless, all of you know by now that there is "A Helluva Shortage of Engineers."

As most of you know, we are in touch with 6,300 companies and since January 7th we have had a veritable flood of company visitations and inter­views on the campus — having had an average of over five companies a day and having already conducted about 7,000 individual interviews for our graduates in the classes of March 1952, June 1952, September 1952, and De­cember 1952.

The average starting salary for our boys without experience just now is about $325, and the companies that are paying the highest salaries are the oil, chemical, steel and aircraft industries.

Despite this critical shortage, we are very glad to say that practically none of our boys have become too cocky or too choosey. Most of them understand that this is a period of critical shortage of engineers and are being very cautious and slow in trying to find the company they desire to work for. In short, al­though the placement office is rushed with interviews to the extent that we frequently run out of room space, all is well and everyone is really keeping busy.

Judging from the comments of our company representatives, our 1952 crop of engineers is very good and our repu­tation nation-wide is constantly im­proving.

To. give you some reasons for this shortage of engineers and this present rush of interviews, here are a few facts. At the present time there is a shortage of approximately 60,000 engineers. Nor­mal replacement and growth of indus­tries demand about 30,000 engineers per year. The present production of engi­neering graduates is tapering off from 25,000 in 1952 to a possible low of 12,000 in 1954.

Thus, while industrial research and development have increased nearly 500% in ten years the number of scien­tists and engineers has only barely doubled.

As most of you know, Georgia Tech like other engineering schools, now is enduring a sharp drop in enrollment, and thus all of you can help the old school and could also help alleviate the shortage of engineers by encouraging

able and worthy high school seniors to study engineering — particularly at Georgia Tech.

This shortage of engineers is also causing now some disruption in the employment activities of older and ex­perienced engineers. The various re­strictions on materials and salaries are making a number of Georgia Tech Alumni desirous of making a change in jobs. To those of you who are contem­plating this change there always seem to be more and more "greener pas­tures." However, in order to be of some help to you if you are worried about your own present employment, I am printing below some good advice taken from Design News, June 1951.

"We are in the midst of the greatest shortage of engineering talent that in­dustry has ever experienced. News­papers and magazines are full of want ads for trained engineers. These com­panies need the help and they are offer­ing good salaries and working condi­tions. Of course much of this help will have to be provided by engineers leav­ing other companies.

The decision to make a change in po­sition can be made by evaluating care­fully several basic factors. The follow­ing, according to our experience, are the points to be considered: 1. Do you enjoy your work? 2. Do you like the people you work

with? 3. Do your supervisors trust you and

your opinions with the personal dig­nity you feel you deserve?

4. Do you feel that you can gain more basic knowledge in your present job?

5. Are you being trained for and ad­vanced toward the operating level you desire and can fulfill?

6. Are occasional (not automatic) merit raises being accorded for good work and increased knowledge?

7. Is current salary level about the average you need to maintain your desired living standard?

If the answer to all these questions is yes, you shouldn't change jobs. But if the answer to any of the first three is no, by all means change jobs; because studies have proven these are contrib­uting factors to a successful business connection.

If the answer to any of the last four is emphatically no, and your superiors cannot or will not rectify them, you may need a change. But always strive for the first three in any connection."

In the very near future, about April

1st, it has been decided that the alumni placement, now being carried on by our office, will be taken over directly by Mr. Roane Beard, Secretary of the Georgia Tech National Alumni Associa­tion. This step is being taken as a move to aid the alumni and also to knit more closely together all the various activi­ties and functions of the alumni. My own personal part in this new change will be that I shall aid Mr. Beard in any way I can in an advisory capacity.

Finally, with the greatest demand for engineers in all times, the Ramblin' Wrecks of Georgia Tech seem better than ever, ramblin' over all the various places in the United States and the world.

Sayings of Uncie Si ( B y R. Roddey Garrison, M.E., ' 2 3 , Member of Board of Trustees,

Georgia Tech National Alumni Association)

These notes, with few exceptions, were taken while I was a senior in Uncle Si's M.E. Class of 1923 — his last at Geor­gia Tech — and they were intended for my own enjoyment.

Grateful appreciation is due R. H. Lowndes, '03, for the preface; G. E. Missbach for photographing the portrait, and to Charles W. Young, '23, the publisher.

R. Roddey Garrison, '23 PREFACE

John Sayler Coon — Born in Burdett, New York, in 1854; was graduated from Cornell University in 1877; was a charter member of A.S.M.E. — founded in 1881; held the chair of mechanical engineering at Georgia School of Tech­nology from 1889 to 1923, at which time he retired and re­turned to his home in New York State. He died in 1938, and his passing is forever mourned by those of us who knew, loved and revered him.

No man was ever possessed of finer innate wisdom than was this man. His insight into the everlasting truths of nature, his interpretation of those truths, and his lifelong constancy in the proper adherence to them were outstand­ing characteristics in him, and showed themselves in his every action and utterance. His deep-seated love of nature, his fearlessness of the naked truth made of him a man who at once enjoyed living with other living creatures (the birds, the wild beasts, and, of course, the trees, shrubs, and his beloved rose bushes) and who at the same time delved into the scientific researches of the minds of men. He held no brief for "easy, popular thinking," for superstitions of the present brought down to us from unverified traditions of a groping past. He, as he himself expressed it, preferred to live under the laws of Almighty God, the unfaltering, unswerving, immutable laws of nature, rather than to live under the laws of man — the ever-changing, erroneous, and incomplete laws of man which each succeeding legislature must of necessity alter.

Dr. Coon was first of all a man born with innate mental ability. This very ability enabled him early in life to see the necessity for mental training. He thus early became a student, nor did he stop his studies so long as his active life continued. Rather did he spend his life disseminating those studies. He spent many years in a deep and sincere effort to pass on to the future generations the blessed truths, which must and will rule the Universe, in the firm belief that by so doing he was rendering his fellow man the greatest benefit that lay within his power to render.

Dr. Coon had many flattering offers during his years of teaching, offers to take part in the industrial procedures of engineering; but he declined these offers because he preferred to remain among "his boys," even at the meager salary of a school teacher, rather than give up his zeal to inculcate in the youth of the land the desire and necessity of thinking and the pleasure to be derived therefrom.

As he said to one of his classes, after he had just declined a lucrative offer, "Will I go? I will not! I prefer to live among young people, you boys, whose hair I ruffle, and whom I drag down and mop the floor with, and often seem to hammer a bit too hard (then maybe it is hard enough). But you must remember that the best steel which engineers make use of comes out from under the hammer."

It was the expert hand of genius which controlled this "hammer," and his students loved him the more for his use of it. Each blow left improvement in its product. The young men felt and knew this daily improvement. So much so

that one of his most apt students told Dr. Coon, upon the completion of his studies at Tech, that his senior year, spent in daily contact with Dr. Coon, was the most inspiring, most edifying, and altogether the happiest year of his life, be it past or future.

Truly here was a man who spent his life in behalf of his fellow man.

— R. H. Lowndes, '03.

ETHICS AND ENGINEERING from

Uncle Si

THIS is a room for the discussion of scientific knowledge and truth. When you enter that door you will please

leave all myth, superstition, doubt, tradition and opinions on the outside . . . we will have no guessing here. Either you know or you don't.

To me there is just one thing sacred in life — that is truth. Tradition is not evidence — tradition is not truth. If God is intelligence and understanding, then scientific truth is the word of God.

Recognition of the truth is what has caused us to reach the state of civilization we now have.

The development of science in the last hundred years has been the salvation of man.

Now are the precious days when you shall prepare your­selves to get the most out of life. Store away in your minds those beautiful truths which make life worth living.

Thou shouldst do unto thy neighbor as thou wouldst have thy neighbor do unto thee. The Golden Rule of Jesus is the real philosophy of life.

Conduct, deportment, behavior — these are the most im­portant things in this world.

Correct deportment is more essential than ability. Unless you are well-behaved because you want to be, you will slip up on the job. If a man breaks down his own ideals of honor, he is gone.

The greatest civilizer in the world, bar none, is a properly conducted business.

One source of Wealth is raw materials, the other Labor. The woes of the past have been caused by the determination of the strong to gather into their hands the profits of labor.

Your sole purpose in being with a concern is to find out where the heat goes, to cut down the cost of production, and produce the goods.

Heat is gold. What can be done to conserve your heat — heat from the earth — heat from the Sun? Have a sense of moral responsibility and leave to posterity, conditions.

The success of a plant depends to a very large extent, upon as few repairs as possible.

Pressure is that which pushes the suction up the tube.

12 THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

Life consists of our conduct in our relation to our fellow man. Conduct is the result of environment and tempera­ment.

Happiness is peace of mind. Riches do not necessarily bring happiness. Reach a peaceful maturity of life with no regrets.

Pursue such a course in life as will bring pleasant memo­ries, for upon that depends a successful life, both spiritual and mental.

There is a great difference between ingenuity and brains. Genius is nothing but the will to take pains. Boys, patience is genius.

Engineering is common sense first, and mathematics, next.

Don't go blindly about the world, but try to find out the reason for things. Be observant.

Be sure your premises are correct, then go ahead.

There are many who loathe and despise those who suc­ceed.

The time for you to repent is right now — not when you are moved by fear.

Man is not a reasoning animal, with a passion for generos­ity and justice. He is simply a prejudice on two legs.

Men are moved by expediency. If I were tried for an offense, I would rather have boys of your age to sit as jurors.

People in this world must take on more than just material progress. That is all Germany did.

Why is it advantageous to have a heating plant placed lower than position of heating system? — a technical answer will do.

Mr. DuBose (Hugh DuBose) knows just as well as I do, the answer to that question. Don't tell them, Mr. DuBose. Let 'em stew in their juice!

Two of our boys have fallen out concerning Atlanta's new viaduct. One of them contends that the viaduct is hardly capable of sustaining the present loads it is subjected to — not to mention the future. It isn't written in the books, you know, that trucks twenty years from now won't weigh more.

You can't get water out of a sponge if you h'ain't got no sponge.

I'm an engineer on the Pennsylvania Railroad. — I lower a boot down in a track tank while the train is traveling at 45 miles an hour. How should the mass of water be started? I want a technical answer to that question! If you don't know that instinctively, just write the folks back home and tell them as soon as the ground is right you are coming back and help them plant corn. I'll bet twenty-five dollars there is not a man in this big class who can tell me! Mr. Borum (Vernon L. Borum), do you know? Borum — I think so, Doctor! Well, he may! Howcum nature to do that?

A man who can't shut his eyes and see through the cast iron walls of a cylinder and watch the piston moving up and down, isn't fit to study engineering.

Hello! We have discovered a mare's nest! Boys I am unpatriotic — I wish there were one flag for

the English-speaking people.

JOHN SAYLER COON, M.E., Sc.D.

Every time I see a locomotive I take off my mental hat.

The trouble with Ireland is too many sectarian schools, and not enough technical schools.

If you don't get to the station too early, you will be too late.

If it isn't too big, it isn't big enough. One can just microbe himself right into the grave.

You will see quite a bit of the tragedies of life. Smile and laugh all you can, boys.

When a family has been wealthy for three or four gen­erations, they are either damned fools, or very pleasant people.

Speaking of fish, I never told a fish lie in my life, yet, I have known misguided fish to take the other man's hook.

Mr. Garrison (Mr. Roddey Garrison), for equal changes of pressure, what change of volumes are there at lower pressures?—You are just simple-minded to give me an answer like that.

I have no respect for a man's ethical status who should be in despair because ignorance has to give way for truth. He is a man of small potatoes.

Spooks! Spooks! Get out!

About a thousand years from now, I would like to come back to the earth for a few minutes, just to see what the "boobs" are thinking about.

There are some who buy a Chevrolet and sneer at their neighbor's Ford.

SAYINGS OF UNCLE SI (Continued)

Boys, I don't care to be a millionaire, yet, some of us have some female relatives who just love to s-plu-r-r-ge!

My refusal to co-operate with the red plume, gold-plated harness, furs, diamonds on the fingers, etc. — my fatal mis­take. I would rather sit on a log and look at a red bird, than look at a red plume.

Knowledge comes from reflection. Learning comes from books.

A Rochester finish is a high polish and poor workmanship.

Men who are successful are in abject slavery — women, you know, are a very, very large part of the world.

What makes a bicycle stand up? (You just mull over that, I'm not going to tell you.)

A sharp inside corner with no fillet is simply an invitation to rupture.

Dr: How do you determine the consumption of steam from an indicator card?

Student: You first multiply by the hyperbolic log and then . . .

Dr: Yes, and then kick it twice and divide by abracadabra. Abracadabra — meaningless babble!

Doctor: Mr. Richardson (William "Red" Richardson), how do you spell brake?

Richardson: B-r-e-a-k, Doctor. My message is not for all. Oh, what's the use. Let's all go down to the corner grocery

and get a drink of cider! You better look o-o-out!

Mr. Carter (Chas. S. Carter) , what are you doing? Eat­ing candy?

All right, eat your candy, Mr. Carter.

Mr. Black (Mr. Arlie A. Black), what causes the hammer­ing in a steam pipe? I want a technical answer. Mr. Black thinks he knows, but he doesn't — that's right, laugh with them, Mr. Black, you are too good-natured.- You know no more about the subject under discussion than a wild jack­ass' colt.

You can't have inertia except when there is a change of velocity.

Mr. Edwards (William "Gus" Edwards), what is it that gives a train Vzmv2? If you say coal, I'll wring your neck and throw you out of that window! I want a technical answer.

With liberty goes immense obligations. Liberty imposes great obligations of fairness. Free speech should not extend beyond statement of fact. Statement of fact is either true or false. The world is full of opinions.

The conflict going on now between men who have knowl­edge and men who have opinions, is as old as time.

Boys, ignorance is very popular!

Man has been most insistent about things he could not prove.

The Forth Bridge across the Clyde near Edinburgh, and the Assuan Dam, each a success — the brains of Sir Ben­jamin Baker!

Mr. Cooper belittled and found fault with Sir Benjamin's engineering — Mr. Baker submitted to it in silence. It is the small straw, you know, that indicates the direction of the wind.

What happens to the engineer if he makes a mistake in his delving — in the realm of spirit and truth? What hap­pens to a surgeon? An artist? He can conceal his mistake!

When an engineering structure fails, a man's head should be cut off.

The Tay Bridge blown over by the wind — no brains. (Referring to a bridge built near Elmira, New York.) I'll bet the man who designed that abominable thing wore

a finger ring! Any man who wears a diamond ring is very vain.

Boys, our thinking is not much. Ultimately, forces of the soul will control this world — not powder and shell. When the so-called Christian nations rise to the same sense of moral responsibility as the heathen Chinese, wars will cease.

The strongest force in the world — public sentiment. How long has peat been in the bogs of Ireland? I don't

know. Take all the time you want, it is all left.

With respect to geological time, it is but nine o'clock in the morning.

Hello! Here is some abstract agricultural philosophy, in reply to Mr. Hahn's (Mr. Edward W. Hahn) , explanation concerning the height of a locomotive stack.

The greatest men are men of simplicity. Boys, don't take yourselves too seriously.

What advantage is there in cooling water being broken up into a very small spray?

If one of you says, "In order to cool the water," I'll send you out of the room! I want a technical answer to that question.

Yesterday, Oscar Davis stopped me and asked how this year's senior class was getting along, and I told him you were the deadest I had ever attempted to teach. He said that is what I told his class, last year.

Doctor: Mr. McDonough (John J. McDonough), what do seals feed on?

Jack: Grass, Doctor. Doctor: Yes, Mr. McDonough! I suppose the seals take a

scythe, mow the grass down, and then pile it up!

By virtue of what physical fact is it, that the injector is possible? No agricultural philosophy will do.

If C. F. does not throw water out of a centrifigal pump, what does cause the water to go out? Mr. Powell (Mr. Charles E. Powell) knows.

Where should a machine be made weakest and why?

What makes an automobile brake-shoe howl? There is just one correct answer. I know! If you don't know that, you are just a bunch of dead men.

Brains are required to distribute stresses. Tomorrow morning I will call on each of you for the dead

14 THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

and live load stresses in both the Warren and Prat t trusses. Those of you who are not prepared, I shall report deficient for the term!

A bridge truss is just a crowbar. Galileo, the Immortal — and his crowbar! He didn't say crowbar, but that is what it is. Galileo and the truth enunciated by him, will go ringing down through the centuries as long as there is mind on this earth.

Florida for good oranges. South Georgia for good water­melons, and near the Artie Circle for good strawberries. Mosquitoes everywhere.

Nature has provided us with two eyes and one mouth. Nature has provided us with two ears and one mouth. Nature has provided us with two hands and one mouth. So a word to the wise is sufficient. Don't eat more than you can grab with two hands — one mouth, you know.

An incubus upon society — a parent allowing his boy to" grow up in idleness.

Blessed is the boy who is poor. Blessed is the boy who has to scramble.

Force is that which ! Inertia, what is it? Few know! If (t) is very small (p) will be very big. Auto drivers

don't know this. C. F. = mv-

r

The automobile has given to the young a wrong sense of their importance — material outstripping our moral re­sponsibility. Do you think civilization has been improved by the introduction of the automobile, dance halls, etc.? Well, I think not. If it is not causing a greater number of people to live by the Golden Rule, I say, to hell with frills!

What does the modern Troubadour do? Blows his horn, and never goes in! A plug of tobacco in his mouth, lighted at one end, he at the other, threatening the lives of innocent people.

I used to love to walk along the highways out into the country — can't do that any more. There are too many wild men driving these stink wagons. I walk along the railroad tracks now. If killed, I want to be killed by a real man — a locomotive engineer — he won't try to run over you.

You boys put down any speech in the U. S. A. other than the English, even at the sacrifice of blood or else you will have a problem. Look at Wisconsin!

I don't like to hear the prattle of the "yahoos" when I'm standing at Niagara. The scenery is too impressive.

Oh, the architect says, what an artistic curve the bridge has. He doesn't know those beams are straight.

The woods are just full of them! Oh, flub, dub! Bah!

John Sweet of Cornell was a great engineer. His brother, Bill Sweet, was a good connoisseur of barroom pictures.

Boys, just remember this: Changes are not always im­provements. Many don't know that.

Those people who pasture their cow in my yard think they are the salt of the earth — (struts) — no moral respon­sibility. I know better.

The principle of the conservation of energy has appli­cation to everything in life. So help me, John Rogers!

An invention of the evil one.

Mr. Bryan the great commoner! The mob worker!

The proof of the pudding is in the chewing of the rag.

It all depends on whose ox is gored and why.

If I didn't know that instinctively, I would dive through that window — take sash and all — and never come back. (Thomas went over and pushed up the window!)

The only way to get any more work out of this blamed steam, is to expand it.

From here to Canopus — The only ds this side of infinity.

Phineas T. Barnum and his wild Australian children who were two idiots from the New York Insane Asylum.

Jenny Lind was the greatest singer who ever lived. Tom Thumb, Minnie Warren and Commodore Nut, all of whom were seen in my native village taking the place of the movies. Dan Rice, the first and the greatest of clowns.

Quicker than scat!

You could have hung two plug hats on each of my eyes.

I told George — of the Glaciers bringing down those im­mense boulders and do you know he went to the village telegraph operator for confirmation.

Hamilton Smith, that wild man who rushed into my office — the developer of the California hurdy-gurdy!

Professor Sweet of Cornell was the most skillful man with his hands that I have ever known — Brains, Brains, Brains! He positively refused to wear a cravat.

Arch Martin of my native village was the only man in it who had any real brains. He was considerable pumpkins, b'gosh — There was a man!

The poor half-witted school teacher who taught 0 x 3 = 3; and 3 X 0 = 0.

Bill Read — that monster, he was the town bully, but he never struck Freddy Smith, never.

Doctor: Mr. Scott (at Long Key, Florida), one of the charms of this place — and there are many — is that auto­mobiles cannot get in here.

Mr. Scott: Yes, but Doctor, the water there is soon to be used as a landing place for hydroplanes.

Doctor: Well, when they start landing I shall just pass on.

Doctor Hopkins at one time went to the mat with some of the boys for hooting at a girl horse-back riding on the campus. I don't know now but that the boys were right.

Sir Benjamin Baker designed the Firth of Forth Bridge and it is still standing because it was made too strong.

on the hill...

VAN LEER FOR HIRE

FORTY dollars — that is exactly what Col. Blake Van Leer is worth. At

least that's what student Bob Temple-ton shelled out to win for one night the services of Col. Van Leer's Cadillac with the president at the wheel. This capped the climax of a unique auction held in the interest of the World Stu­dent Fund at intermission of the recent Georgia-Georgia Tech basketball game.

Thus Templeton and his date were assured of luxury transportation and a smiling chauffeur for the big Military Ball. When friends chided Bob that he would have no smooching that night, Col. Van Leer promptly assured them that he had promised the winner a ride home through Piedmont Park and he "couldn't see a thing in the dark."

And Col. Van Leer wasn't the only prize of the evening. Another high bidder won a shoeshine from Dean P. B. Narmore, and the Phi Delts secured the services of Dean J. J. Pershing and Dean Ben Massey as waiters. Dr. E. H. Folk promised to clean a dormitory room, and Dean Mason offered his sec­retary to type a report. One lucky stu­dent even won an invitation to a Tea Party (!) at the Robbery and dinner at Agnes Scott College.

Another prize package was in the person of Dean Fred Ajax, who sold his services as a baby sitter. Since Paul Liberman, the high bidder, was not married, there was a great deal of spec­ulation as to just what type of baby the Dean would be sitting.

This was all sponsored by the World Student Fund to touch off their annual fund raising campaign held the first week of March. The WSF is set up to bring foreign students to the United States and support them through one year of college. It is financed by funds collected from students at Tech and money donated by Rotary Interna­tional. This year there are five foreign students enrolled here representing Lebanon, Switzerland, France, Norway, and Germany.

HELP INSTEAD OF HELL One fraternity stepped out ahead this

quarter to instigate a new idea into the old system. The Delta Tau Deltas turned their "Hell Week" into a "Help Week" and from the results it looks like the campus may be seeing more of this sort of thing.

After examining a number of worthy projects, the fraternity decided that the Battle Hill Haven for old folks was the place that needed their help most, so

Dean Benjamin Massey and Dean John Pershing are shown serving the Phi Delta Theta fraternity members. Their services were auctioned for the benefit of the World Student Fund.

they set out to brighten things for the residents. The twenty-five pledges went to the home each day after classes and scraped and painted the walls, scrubbed the floors, washed windows, cleaned the yard, and made general repairs. The idea caught on so well that the active members, who were not required to do so, also pitched in. The wind-up took place on Saturday with all of the fra­ternity joining in on the work.

The Interfraternity Council has ap­pointed a special committee to study the plan of making this into a campus-wide project during which time all frater­nities would hold their initiations. The week would not only include a commu­nity service program, but would be comprised of numerous other activities involving fraternities as a whole. As The Technique points out, it is "another step in the right direction."

CITY PLANNING EXHIBIT The Georgia Tech School of Architec­

ture, in cooperation with the Metropoli­tan Planning Commission, recently sponsored an exhibit and series of lec­tures on city planning arranged for Metropolitan Atlanta. The exhibit, pre­sented by the Ministry of Town and Country Planning of London, England, showed the general public the growth of a bombed out town with respect of buildings, industry, transportation, and population.

Cherry Emerson, vice-president of Tech, was the program chairman and Prof. Howard K. Menhlnick, Regents' Professor of City Planning of Georgia Tech, gave several lectures.

ORGANIZATIONS Robert E. Pickett and Donald H.

Ramsbottom are the two new members elected into Omicron Delta Kappa. Pickett is a graduate student, and Ramsbottom is a senior in the Textile Engineering Department.

The Briarean Society selected nine of the top students in the Cooperative De­partment to join their number. Fol­lowing the initiation ceremonies, which climaxed a week of informal initiation, a banquet was served at Mammy's Shanty.

GEORGIA TECH MEN CONTRIBUTE TO THE

RED CROSS

Dean Geo. Says

Griffin

We would like to express our thanks to Mr. Cannon for sending us a picture of the 1902 football team, and Mr. Sullivan, of Savan­nah, for the 1899 team. Both pic­tures have been reproduced and will be hung with the rest of the Georgia Tech teams in the new trophy room, to be in the Alexan­der Memorial Building.

The following pictures are still missing: 1894, 1895, 1896, 1897, 1898, 1900, 1901, 1934, 1935, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1940, 1943. We would like to borrow these pictures for reproduction. Your consideration will be greatly appreciated.

As seen from the picture, giving blood to the Red Cross can be quite a pleasure. The students gave a total of 510 pints during the first week of March, contributing to this worthy cause.

March-April, 1952 17

BASEBALL GOLF

Coach J. H. Pittard has released a 21-game 1952 schedule for the Yellow Jackets. Twenty of the games are with Southeastern Conference foes, and ten of these will be played on the home diamond.

Tech's 1952 team is rated by Coach Pittard as stronger in the hurling de­partment, about the same in the infield, but much more inexperienced in the outfield than last year's Jacket squad which finished the season with an even-steven 12-12 record.

The pitchers and catchers have been working out already in an effort to have their arms good and loose for the start of full scale action. Inclement weather has kept most of the practice indoors.

Three lettermen are returning from last year's mound corps. They are Clyde Young, who twirled a 4-0 shutout at Georgia, Buddy Young and Bill Holt. Hurlers from last year's freshman squad who are expected to aid the varsity this year are T. J. Russo, and Dave McGarr. H. C. (Buck) Walker, a co-op freshman, is also counted on for varsity mound service.

Freshmen are eligible for all varsity sports this year only. Next year, be­cause of a change in the SEC ruling, frosh can play on freshman teams only. The baseball team expects to take ad­vantage of the current situation by us­ing as many freshmen in the lineup as are capable of making the grade. Dave Redford, a freshman who had a fine record as a prep school pitcher, is ex­pected to be an asset to the Tech nine this year.

One letterman, Howell Graham, is returning as catcher. Two freshmen,

J immy Joyce and Dan Theodosian, should see service behind the plate.

Leading infield returnee is all-SEC shortstop Chappell Rhino. Rhino batted well up in the .300's last year and is rated as a very capable fielder. Other returning infield lettermen are Louis Andrews and George Maloof. Charlie Brannon who didn't play last year but who was one of the best prep infielders in the local city leagues may be avail­able part of the season.

Sorely missed from the infield will be Bob Lusk, last year's third baseman, who has received his sheepskin. Lusk made all-SEC and led the conference in hitting with a phenomenal .465 batting average.

Moving up from last year's freshman team to the battle for varsity infield positions will be Buddy Martin, W. N. Bogart, and Vaughn Dyer.

Coach Pittard must build completely from scratch in the outfield. Not a sin­gle letterman is returning and the ro­tund baseball mentor is counting heavily on newcomers in the outer gardens.

Members of last year's squad, besides Lusk, who graduated or have no more eligibility are Harvin, McCoy, Bobby North, Dick Harris, Red Childress, Herb Bradshaw and Tubby Walton.

Tech's Keystone Combination — Charlie Brannon, ss, and Chappell Rhino, 2b. Both boys are football lettermen.

18 THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

PREP STARS PLAN TO ATTEND TECH

46 outstanding high school stars have signed grant-in-aids indicating they will attend Georgia Tech this coming fall. Included in the group are two All-Americans, Franklin Brooks of O'Keefe High in Atlanta, and Jimmy Morris, brother of next year's co-capt., George Morris of Vicksburg, Miss. This addi­tion will make four Morris' on the squad, all potential first-stringers.

21 of the players are from Georgia, including 8 All-Staters. Other states are represented as follows: Tennessee (9), Massachusetts (4), Alabama (2), S. C. (2), W. Va. (2), and one each from Flor­ida, Mississippi, Virginia, North Caro­lina, Ohio and Connecticut.

Backs — Ray Anderson, West Point; Stan Cochran, Sylvan; Cecil Davis, Grif­fin; Bobby Eubanks, Griffin; Burton Grant, Wilmington, N. C ; Jack Hall, Richmond Academy (Augusta); Bob Dover, Alcoa, Tenn.; Billy Lingenfelter, Jr., Alcoa, Tenn.; Bobby McCauley, O'Keefe; Henry Schneider, Richmond Academy; John Robert Woolf, Alcoa, Tenn.; Stan Worlen, Signal Mountain, Tenn.

Centers — Dick Beard, Moultrie; Lar­ry Bradford, Chattanooga; Joe Debois-briand, Amesbury, Mass.; Jimmy Mor­ris, Vicksburg, Miss.; Don Shepherd, Albany.

SWIMMING The Tech swimming team did not

fare as well as in past years, but still managed a third place in the South­eastern Conference behind exception­ally strong Georgia and Florida teams. In dual competition, the Jackets won from Emory, Vanderbilt and Kentucky, but lost the rest of their meets to the opposition.

In the conference meet, those doing well were: Frank Strickland — First in 200-yard

backstroke Second in 100-yard backstroke

Jimmy Thrasher — Second in 50-yard freestyle

Third in 100-yard freestyle Oscar Crouch — Third in 220-yard free­

style Third in 440-yard freestyle

Cab Childress — Third in 100-yard backstroke

TRACK The Yellow Jacket track team placed

second in its division (non-conference) at the North Carolina Relays in Chapel Hill on March 1. Alabama was first with 36 points: Tech had 16V2 points. It looks as though Coach Norris Dean is going to have to depend a great deal on his freshmen this spring for a good many points if the team makes much showing. Although the team has good men in most events, there is very little depth, which virtually eliminates them as a championship contender. Men and their specialties are listed below: Shot Put — F r e d Berman, Jeff Knox Discus — Fred Berman Javelin — Ed Baskin High Jump — Jeff Knox, Bobby Barron

BASKETBALL Tech's bad luck in basketball con­

tinued through the Conference Tourna­ment as they drew the nation's number one team, Kentucky. The boys had hope of salvaging something out of the season by making a good showing in the tournament, but could not cope with the Kentucky powerhouse, losing 59-81. Previous hard luck hit them with the early loss of Cline to a back injury and arch trouble, followed by dismissal of three varsity members, Barnes, Austin and Templeton because of training in­fractions. Cline returned for the last few games and they made a better showing, but managed only one win, which was over their arch-rivals, the University of Georgia.

The overall record was 7 wins against 15 losses. Tech tied with Georgia at the bottom of the SEC.

Pete Silas and Teeter Umstead gave excellent performances throughout the season, but lacked strong support to give us a well-rounded team. Silas made the All-SEC second team.

FOOTBALL LOSS PAYS OFF IN CAKE

The clipping quoted below was sent in by Al Smailer, '48, of Elkins Park, Pa. It appeared in their company news­paper, the "Yale and Towne News."

"JOYCE TAYLOR (Cost) paid off her football bet with Al Smailer (Prod. Eng.) in the form of a specially decor­ated cake. Joyce was counting on her fiance, Larry Chiodetti, Alabama half­back, to lead his team to victory over Smailer's Alma Mater, Georgia Tech, on Nov. 17th. Larry knew of the bet and he scored Alabama's only touchdown — but it wasn't enough — Tech won 27-7. Smailer drew up plans for the cake decoration, to be trimmed in his school colors, white and gold. It was Joyce's second attempt at cake baking and after the department gang spied it, Smailer had one quick glance at the cake •— and one small piece."

WEST NAMED PUBLICITY DIRECTOR

Coach Bobby Dodd named Florida State's Ned West as publicity man for the Athletic Association effective June 1, 1952.

West will succeed Jack Jackson, who resigned January 1 to rejoin the Atlanta Journal.

DODD TO COACH COLLEGE ALL-STARS

Coach Robert E. Lee Dodd has been selected to coach the College All-Stars in the annual charity game played in Chicago each August. This year's op­ponent will be the Los Angeles Rams, professional champions. He will be as­sisted by two of his own assistants, Ray Graves and Frank Broyles, as well as four other coaches.

Having only two weeks to get the boys ready, Coach Dodd says he will give them about twelve basic running plays and eight pass patterns from which he will work. Ray Beck and possibly other Tech players will be on the All-Star squad.

TECH MEN RANKED IN SOUTHERN TENNIS

Frank Willett, '45, was ranked No. 3 by the Southern Lawn Tennis Associa­tion in the singles. Willet and Howard McCall, '46, were also ranked 3rd in the doubles. Both these men played on the undefeated Tech tennis team of 1945. Willett went to the semi-finals in the National Inter-collegiate singles and he and McCall went to the semi-finals in the doubles play.

20 THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

with the ClUBS AUGUSTA, GA.

The Augusta Georgia Tech Club met on February 4 and turned out with the largest reported attendance of any alumni club in the country. There were 157 present to hear Coach Bobby Dodd and his assistant, Ray Graves.

Both coaches were high in their praise of the 1951 Yellow Jackets, especially Captain Lamar Wheat. However, they both predicted some losses during the 1952 season. Coach Dodd attributed the success of the past season to the boys and to his fine coaching staff. He fur­ther commended the Augusta Alumni Club for the splendid job they were doing for Tech.

New officers elected are: President, Frank Dennis, Sr., '17 Vice-Pres., Allan Matthews, '44 Secretary, R. F. Gambill, Jr., '50 Treasurer, John Johnson Directors are: E. R. Macuch, '46; J. G.

CINCINNATI, OHIO The winter meeting of the Cincinnati

Georgia Tech Club was held on Janu­ary 12 at the Cincinnati Country Club. Twenty-five members were on hand at the stag meeting to meet Tech's Presi­dent, Col. Van Leer, who was in Cin­cinnati attending the meeting of the National Inter-collegiate Athletic Asso­ciation.

Following dinner, President Henry W. Moore, '28, opened the business por­tion of the meeting with a summary of the past year's activities. Election of officers followed with Robert A. Mills, '38, being elected president; Fletcher Holliday, '19, vice-president; and Thom­as Hill, '42, secretary-treasurer.

Col. Van Leer gave a most enjoyable talk on the plans and progress taking place at Tech. His talk was detailed sufficiently that the "old timers" were really brought up to date as to what was going on in the way of modernization at Tech, and what provisions were being made for the expansion of school fa­cilities.

ORLANDO, FLA. The Georgia Tech Club of Orlando

held a meeting on Tuesday night, January 29.

Honor guest for the occasion was Col. Blake R. Van Leer, President of Georgia Tech. Col. Van Leer gave an excellent talk on the past, present, and future of Tech.

There were 33 present at the meeting, which was presided over by John W. Rourk, '23, Club president.

A film, "Highlights of 1951," about the football games was shown at the conclusion of Col. Van Leer's talk.

SPARTANBURG, S. C. On February 8, 1952, Alumni in

Spartanburg and vicinity met at the Elk's Club. There were 53 Alumni and guests present for the dinner meeting. Roane Beard, Alumni Secretary, was guest speaker. He covered the work that the Association is trying to do and answered questions about the school.

Horrance "Hank" Mitchell, '29, pre­sided, assisted by Ned Bobo, Club Secretary.

Two films, "Highlights of 1951" and the Tech-Georgia football game, were shown.

WEST PALM BEACH, FLA. A rejuvenated group of Tech men

gathered at the Flotilla Club in West Palm Beach on March 5th to organize a Tech Club that would give credit to the name.

Several previous attempts to organize a Tech Club in West Palm Beach had been poorly attended but this one was different. The expected presence of Coach Bobby Dodd may have had some­thing to do with the attendance but the last minute change to Coach Frank Broyles didn't affect the attendance. A total of thirty were present and it was their unanimous vote to organize a Tech Club. Officers were elected immediately, as follows:

President, Fred Saunders, '25 Vice-Pres., Roscoe T. Anthony, '14

S. C, Meeting

Sec'y-Treas., Louis A. Hawkins, '25 A prompt vote set the meetings at one

each quarter and a subsequent vote made the Club dues $2.00.

A fast trip via U-Drive-It from Miami and a quick fried chicken dinner didn't seem to bother Coach Broyles, who was the speaker of the evening. The com­ment from those at the dinner left no doubt Broyles was an able substitute for Dodd, as a speaker, at least.

Following the dinner, the film "High­lights of 1951," was shown. Local high school and junior high school coaches and several high school players were guests along with a number of Tech friends in this area.

The officers promise a vigorous cam­paign to have all Tech men members of this new club.

TECH STUDENTS ASSUME INTERNATIONAL PROJECT (Help Needed)

THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

THE International News Center has located its offices on the campus of

Georgia Tech. The INC has two tasks: (1) The first is to give students

in other countries of the world an ob­jective picture of our American way of life. It is not intended to force them to accept our particular political theories. Rather, INC would have them under­stand us and our techniques and new developments in the United States.

(2) The second is to better acquaint the students of the United States with the ideas, problems, and interests of stu­dents in other countries.

The first task of INC will be carried out by publishing a newspaper, The Student Life, every two weeks, a stand­ard tabloid four-page newspaper (same size as the campus Technique).

The second task of INC will be car­ried out by the Student News Service (SNS). The SNS will mail over one thousand copies of each press release, every two weeks, to college newspapers in the United States.

The Executive Director, Editor-in-Chief of The Student Life, and the Chairman of the Board of Directors are all students at Georgia Tech. Agnes Scott College for Women, in Atlanta, is carrying out the major portion of work of the Student News Service. In all, there are approximately one hundred and fifty students working with the INC from the four participating colleges in the Atlanta area. Each of the four col­leges has two representatives on the Board of Directors of the INC which controls all its operating activities. An average of twenty-five students per col­lege read over 350 newspapers per week, from colleges all over the United States, selecting the best articles to be used in The Student Life.

The end goal of this project is to erase antagonism, which has resulted specifi­cally in Central and South America from such things as the American armies' occupation of Panama, and al­leged industrial and business exploita­tion of the Latin Americas in certain areas. Most of this antagonism has come from mining ventures, business invest­ments, etc. This antagonism has, at the present, not resulted in these peoples becoming pro-Russian, but only anti-United States. If this antagonism can be fought at its roots, and the students in the countries concerned made to realize our sincere desire to accomplish good, as has been the case in some instances in American business investments in the Latin American countries, there will be better hopes for cooperation with these peoples where such an open future lies.

March-April, 1952

Thus, by exchanging information with these peoples, it will be possible to point out to them our beliefs and rea­sons for certain action on different mat­ters. Through the medium of the news­paper, The Student Life, it will be possi­ble to point out our ways of doing things, and why. Through the Student News Service, it will be possible to dis­seminate Latin American complaints and feelings throughout the United States.

The present personnel of the INC, as mentioned above numbering approxi­mately one hundred and fifty, has suc­ceeded in publishing two thousand copies of one issue of The Student Life. This first issue was distributed in Rio de Janeiro at the first Inter-American Student Congress held in January. The SNS has mailed six press releases, as mentioned above, each mailing going to over one thousand college newspapers throughout the United States.

The International News Center has been established under the auspices of the United States National Student As­sociation (USNSA) of which the Geor­gia Tech student body is a member through its Student Council. Although the USNSA is a large organization with President Harold Taylor of Sarah Law­rence College, and President Harold Stassen of the University of Pennsyl­vania among its advisory council, each specific project of the USNSA must still undertake its own financing.

If the thirteen thousand five hundred and sixty dollars required to see the continuance of the International News Center through the year 1952 is not forthcoming soon, the whole project will fail. The executive staff of the International News Center is doing all in its power to raise the money, and it needs assistance. They now have the office space and equipment donated by Georgia Tech and all the personnel re­quired to carry out their work. Thus, the students have done all they can do. They have shown what they propose to do. The determining factor is in the hands of the persons and private enter­prises which could financially support them.

ALUMNI PLACEMENT RETURNS TO THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

Effective April 1, 1952, all alumni placement will be handled by the Geor­gia Tech National Alumni Association.

Due to the terrific demands placed on the Associate Dean of Students, Fred Ajax, it has been decided that once again your Association will take on this free service for alumni. Dean Ajax will continue to assist in an advisory ca­pacity. The Alumni office is now equipped to handle the work in exactly the same way that it has been handled in the past. The majority of the cost has been borne by the Alumni office over the past months, therefore there will be little added expense connected with the operation.

The service consists of a weekly let­ter, containing job listings, sent out to those men who have expressed an interest in changing jobs. The applicant will then contact the company, who is looking for a man, in person or by let­ter, using my name as a lead.

In using the above mentioned service, address all correspondence to:
