Institute Greets Guests

For High School DayRIT's laboratories, studios and workshops will be hum-

ming today as nearly 2,000 area high school students inspectthe Institute's 10 departments, living facilities, and auxiliaryservices during the Institute's annual High School Day.

A record-breaking throng is ex-pected to view the facilities, dem-onstrations, and exhibits preparedfor this open house. Invitationsfor the tour were sent to about275 high schools in upper NewYork state.

While it is hoped that the highschoolers will find time to visitevery department, tours of depart-ments with related areas of inter-est are arranged to assure thestudent of seeing that part of theInstitute in which he is most inter-ested.

Four Tours ArrangedSpotted along the four various

tours will be students and in-structors demonstrating latesttechnological equipment and tech-niques and exhibiting studentwork.

Tour number one, which in-cludes the Retailing, Food Admin-istration, and Commerce depart-ments will feature exhibits ofstudent work in fashion trends,clothing construction, a look atRIT's new freshman cookery andHenry Lomb dining room, and ademonstration of the new execu-tive model electric typewriter andother modern equipment.

PARADE OF OPINION

SPEAKS

Page 2A October 29, 1952

EditorialRIT's far-reaching influence in the field of education will

be accented today for more than 1,500 visitors from highschools in Monroe and surrounding counties. The Institute'sstudents, faculty, and staff join in a hearty welcome and hopethe guests will have an interesting and valuable afternoon.

High school day at RIT is not a new thing. Twice a yearhigh school groups are invited to attend open house to in-spect the facilities and educational progress of the Institute.Twice a year the groups are invited to see demonstrations onthe latest kinds of equipment and the latest techniques ofinstruction.

Even though the Institute is 124 years old, it hasattempted to measure the years by constant progress andconstant changing to meet the demands of students, business,and industry. Behind all the changes that have been made,however, have been many deeply rooted convictions that havecharacterized the Institute's growth. '

Among primary considerations are the educational inten-tions of the Institute. Guests will see students actually doingthings. Education, to be worthwhile, should teach students notonly the academic things they will need in life but also themore practical things they must know in their daily living. Inour highly specialized industry a newcomer must not onlyknow how to get along with peopele, he must have a highdegree of technical competence. Students' training at RITcombines the practical with the theoretical with the intent togive responsible citizens to business and industry of thenation.

Another element that has been characteristic of the In-stitute's growth has been the addition of new courses, newcurricula, and new departments as the demands of industryhave been made known. Two new departments have been add-ed within the past three years. But the addition of these de-partments was not happenchance. It was the result of carefulinvestigation into whether or not the addition of the newdepartments would meet a need. The same careful analysishas been made for the addition of new courses. No course isadded by chance. There must first be a need for the course,then it is added. This has been true also for the school's largeEvening and Extension Division.

Another thing which has characterized the Institute'sgrowth has been the constant improvement and furtheringof the co-operative plan of education. The plan includes send-ing a student into a classroom for a period of time and thenout into industry for an equal period of time. Students learnthe theory in the classroom and make practical applicationin an on-the-job situation. The co-operative plan has providedmany Rochester and area industries with employees whohave worked their way up to high executive positions.

There are many other things about RIT which could becalled to the attention of the visitor. However, many of thethings will be evident from talking with students, instructors,and personnel of the Institute.

Not only will guests observe students in their everydaylaboratory classes, they will see special demonstrations onequipment that dramatize the latest applied techniques inindustry and business. Special exhibits have been prepared sovisitors will be able to visualize the inner workings of RITactivities.

We urge our guests to see everything possible and askas many questions as they like. We feel honored that so manyhigh school students and faculty are with us today, and hopethey know us better when they leave.

THE QUESTIONShould the five-minute break

between classes be extended to10 minutes?

Dave Minor . . .Photo Tech Senior:

It doesn't matter to me eitherway. All of "my classes are in one

building a n dthere is suffi-cient time form e betweenclasses. Wemight as wellhave class aftera five - minutebreak and getit over with.Some instruc-tors require a

tardy slip when you enter late.If the break should be extended to10 minutes, I would like it, if not,I wouldn't miss it.

Marion Muldoon .. .Retailing Freshman:

Yes, the students who go fromone building to another have noextra time atall. After sit-ting in class foralmost an hour,a 10 minutebreak would bewelcome. Ithink it wouldgive you moreof an incentiveto concentratein class. Yourmind is relaxed because yon havehad an adequate time to changeclasses.

John Coulter .. .Electrical:

Yes, unless a good cut system isestablished. If the need for excuses

can be rid of,the five minutebreak is enoughbecause the cutsystem wouldallow y ou touse your owndiscretion. Acut system anda 10 minutebreak would betoo much. The

marks you receive in a class mattermore than an excuse for a fewseconds' tardiness.

Mike McClatchey . .P&P Senior:

Yes, with the break being onlyfive minutes, you barely haveenough time tochange buil d-ings before thesecond bellrings. For someteachers if youare even asecond late, youhave to getback to yourdepartment of-fice to get atardy slip and by the time you getback to class, you have missedmost of the lecture.

Margaret Diebold . . .Food Administration:

Yes, you should have some timebetween periods to get a coke or

have a cigaretteif you want to.As it is now,you have torush to yourlocker, changeyour books graba quick drinkof water, andnext class. TheFood students

also have to change their uniformsin that short time. The extra fiveminutes would not affect class thatmuch.

There are many others to choosefrom, in fact about 55 stores in30 different cities. These Retailerscan travel afar or stay at storesnear their homes as they wish. Butone thing you can be sure of; co-operative work experience makesexcellent training and affords a lotof fun and excitement of newplaces and things.

With two weeks already com-pleted, five sales trainees fromMergenthaler Linotype Company ofBrooklyn are continuing todaywith a series of lectures, demon-strations and field trips in a gen-eral printing orientation programprepared by the Department ofPublishing and Printing.

The extent of Wildenhain's workcan be seen from his collections inHolland, England, Germany, Bel-gium, Italy , and several states inthe U.S.

Prior to joining the faculty ofthe School for American Crafts-men, Mr. Wildenhain had his ownworkshop at Guerneville, Calif.

Name Selene Walters

Space Queen for 1952

Miss Selene Walters, above,has been chosen as "Miss SpaceQueen of '52" by RIT male ad-mirers. The vigorously vivaciousMiss Walters is planning a tourfrom her Hollywood headquar-ters and is scheduled to ac-knowledge the interest evi-denced by her campus fans.

Survey CompletesAuto Registration

Student vehicle registrationshave been received from the ma-jority of students and are now be-ing processed by the registrar'soffice. Final tabulation will bemade when forms are receivedfrom students out on block.

The registration is being con-ducted to provide better adminis-tration of Institute parking areas,particularly the two faculty lots.

The survey will place on file thenames and license numbers of allstudent drivers and permit Insti-tute officials to act in the interestsof not only faculty members butalso students when the occasionrequires.

It is pointed out that calls fromthis immediate area in cases ofparking violations will permit im-mediate identification. Often stu-dents are reported as violatorswhen the vehicle actually belongsto persons not attending RIT, itis pointed out. With registration ofstudent cars, proper identificationcan be made. In event of damageto automobiles in faculty park-ing lots and adjacent areas, fac-ulty and student owners in thisway can be protected.

A quartet of Institute males,with an eye on the sky and visionsof dynamic pulchritude, have suc-cessfully nominated Hollywoodactress Selene Walters as "RITSpace Queen for '52."

Don Anderson, Mike McClatchey,Norm Zelows and Al Scharf,enterprising Tech "Space Men"representing that novel RIT fra-ternity, will add Miss Walter'sphoto to their collection of "heav-enly bodies" on the first annual"National Space Day," Nov. 5.

"Space Day" is being sponsoredby the Inter-Planetary Chapter ofNational Association of Gagwriterson the day following presidentialelections to "get us back down toearth," after intensive politicalcampaigns have been concluded.

Anderson, McClatchey, Zelowsand Scharf, captivated by theplatinum-haired Hollywood lovely,wrote their desire to name her asRIT Space Queen. Miss Waltersimmediately became a candidatewho wasn't coy. She accepted thenomination without further urging.

Her supporters are now busythinking of an idea to constructtangible evidence of their pref-erence. When completed, the tokenis to be presented to Miss Waltersat a ceremony on her west coasttelevision show. All Space Men areurged to forward their own ideasfor this representative gift to thefour campaign promoters.

The Council is responsible forthe government of Residence Halland the social program. Amongother duties, the council namescommittees to plan special activ-ities. Last Saturday the girls spon-sored their annual Dorm Formal,"Mood Indigo." This Sunday thegirls were entertained at the tra-ditional Faculty Tea. City girlswere Kate Gleason guests at a teain September. Other events forwhich the girls are planning arethe Christmas Tea, to which datesmay be invited, and the Convo-cation Tea in May to honor thesenior girls.

Advisers to the Council are MissMary Dotterrer, director, and Mrs.Louise Pinder, associate directorof the Residence Hall.

CounselorBy BARBARA BARTENSTEIN A hearty "welcome back" is in

order for Mrs. Hope HuntingtonMiller. A glance to the right uponentering Clark Union will acquaintRIT students with pretty Mrs.Miller who is new counselor atClark Union.

Mrs. Miller is appearing on theRIT campus for the second time,the first being the three years shespent on the staff of Kate GleasonHall from August, 1947 to August,1950. After leaving RIT in 1950,she was counselor to sophomorewomen and assistant director ofthe upperclass residence hall atIowa State Teachers College. Fromthat time until her return to RIT,she worked at the RochesterYWCA as Director of the teenageprogram.

Mrs. Miller is a native of FortWayne, Indiana and a graduate ofManchester College. She receivedher master's degree in studentpersonnel work from SyracuseUniversity in 1947. Mrs. Millerresides at 174 N. Goodman St. withher husband who is a public ac-countant with a Rochester ac-counting firm.

Mrs. Miller particularly empha-sized the fact that a great manyRIT students should become betteracquainted with the facilities of-fered by Clark Union which in-clude the Carnegie Room forenjoyment of good music, theStudent Book Exchange, thesnacks served on weekend eveningsby volunteers of the PresbyterianChurch and rooms that are avail-able for card-playing students.

Mrs. Miller ended our little inter-view by saying that it was fun tobe back and she certainly enjoysbeing here again.

The 30 men and women presentviewed two excellent ski movies,one of which demonstrated thetechnique of parallel skiing astaught by the French NationalSchool of Skiing, the leading ex-ponent of which is the greatFrench skier, Emile Allais. Theother film included colored wintersports scenes from Ontario, Can.

New Swimming ClubOfficers Are Named

Elected to replace retiring Swim-ing Club officers are Al Strasseland Dick Nagel, both Photo Techs.

Strassel becomes vice-presidentto succeed Jerry Sahlin and Nagelreplaces Bob Weinstein as socialchairman. Strassel also assumesthe duties of the president, PatRichardson, while the latter is onblock.

Dick Lee is a young man witha line—and it's a good one.

Dick is a Photo Tech senior, andwhen he's not casting around forsome captivating subject matterto trap on film, he's casting forother game—angling honors withrod and reel.

Sports shows have always beenhigh on Dick's list of athletic in-terests. He used to watch witheager fascination the skill and ac-curacy demonstrated by top flightmasters of rod, reel, and line. Thefree and easy swing, the flick ofthe wrist, and the plunk of aplug on target somehow lookedfairly simple to Dick. So aboutthree . years ago he decided toleave the spectator ranks and getinto the act personally. And he'sdeveloped into something of apriority performer in the process.

Actual Operation DifficultInitial studied impressions, Dick

soon discovered, were a little lessthan correct. To watch othersadroitly handle the equipment ofa balanced outfit was one thing—to do it himself was somethingelse. Dick immediately found thatthe road to perfection was goingto be arduous and jam-packedwith constant practice. But hestuck to it.

In the summer of 1949, Dickfelt he was ready for some compe-tition as a test after months oftrial effort. He entered an inter-club event and emerged with thirdplace honors. The victory wasenough to establish confidence inhimself and to encourage him tolook around for other triumphs.

Wins HonorsThat same summer, Dick en-

tered the Buffalo Anglers Clubcompetition and took top honors,a feat he repeated in 1950 and1951. When anglers from all overthe country and Canada convergedat Syracuse for the New YorkState Fair, Dick was among them.

This was no place for a novice,but Dick had hit his stride andthe stakes were worth the wager.So Dick went to work. He piledpoint on point to take the cham-pionship. And he's been backevery year to repeat himself—standing today as a four-time win-ner of one of the toughest eventsin the nation.

Another LaurelThis past season, Dick added

another laurel to his trophy-studded collection. He capturedfirst place in the InternationalAnglers Tournament at Buffalo.Most recently he won the all-events award at lower MaplewoodPark in Rochester Casting andAngling Club competition. It wasa championship he first had wonin 1950, only to lose it last yearas runner up.

These are the -major chaptersin Dick's success story to date.He has other victories, such asthe 1950 Buffalo City cup and theRochester Outboard Dealers As-sociation Regatta title. It's been abusy four-season period. Andwhile much of it has been directedto improving his technique andin open competition, Dick hasfound time to otherwise utilize his

skill. During the past few yearshe has given night courses at areahigh schools on casting pro-cedures. He has participated inYouth Week programs and hasgiven exhibitions on trick castingand equipment use to such groupsas the Eastman Kodak and Haloidfishing clubs.

Good Use of HobbyYes, Dick has put to good use

a hobby that has brought him nolittle fame. He's still as enthusi-astic about the sport today as hewas when he followed others froma sideline seat. The element ofsafety is paramount with Dick.He points out that the angler mustdevelop a method in casting so asnot to cause injury by hooks andplugs. And that's what tourna-ment competition promotes—ac-curacy. An angler's aim is on awater target—where he usesplugs instead of bullets.

How does this activity fit intophotographic instruction ? Well,Dick says that remains to be seen.But he's looking forward to com-bining his knowledge of fishingtackle with that of photography.

So, by shutter or sinker, DickLee is out to get his game.

MSA Sees Film,Holds Discussion

Members of the MechanicalStudents Association and theirguests attended a movie and dis-cussion of "Hot Water HeatingDangers" early this month. Wen-dell M. Dillon, chief engineer ofthe Watts Company, showed thefilm and answered questions of theaudience.

The films pointed out the com-mon hazards of commercial andresidential hot water heating sys-tems along with piping systemsand the placements of safetyvalves to alleviate excess pressureand temperatures of super-heatedwater. Illustrations were shown offield tests conducted by the WattsCo. demonstrating the explosivepower of super-heated water underconfinement.

Mr. Dillon was introduced byPeter L. Brandes,Watts Co. manu-facturer's representative.

Hill, home of Dr. and Mrs. JamesLockhart; and Sweet Briar Farm,home of Admiral USN (Ret.) andMrs. Hubert W. Chanler.

It is believed this was the firsttime four outstanding historicalhomes in Genesee Valley have beenopen to the public on the same day.

During the day Phi Delta shutterbugs rubbed elbows with outstand-ing photographers from variousleading magazines, including Life,while photographing private col-lections of art and antique treasuresrarely equaled elsewhere in theUnited States.

With less than a day for organ-izing and equipping, James Fosterand Frank Harris, PT instructors,groomed Phi Delta boys for thetask of photographing more than200 pictures in less than four hours.

Some 1,500 visitors added muchconfustion to the hazards of takingpictures in small crowded areas,and in rooms roped off to protectvaluable antiques; also in pas-sageways where light for subjectwas at a premium.

Returning home completelyexhausted, the boys prepared them-selves f or the real test of theirefforts and skills—that of develop-ing and printing pictures equallymasterful of the treasures present-ed their cameras on the tour.

Conduct Exams at InstituteNew York State Medical-Dental

Scholarship Examinations we reconducted at RIT last Saturday.Each of the 50 winners throughoutthe state will receive a four-yearscholarship for a school of medi-cine or dentistry.

A qualifying examination formembership in the American As-sociation of Nurse Anesthetistswill be held at RIT on Nov. 8. NewYork S t a t e tests for PracticalNurse licenses were held Oct. 16.

Mechanical Department seniors,under the guidance of Frank A.Geist, instructor, toured the FordMotor Co. assembly plant at Buf-falo and the Bethlehem Steel Co.plant at Lackawanna early thismonth.

Most interesting attraction inthe guided tour at Ford Motor Co.was the installation of sub-assem-blies in final assembly line oper-ations. Here students witnessed theassembly of a complete car on the735-foot line.

The latter part of the morningand most of the afternoon wasspent at Bethlehem's Lackawannaplant. Here students saw ore beds,giant coke ovens, the largest blastfurnace in the world, open-hearthfurnaces for steel production, andhot and cold strip mills for rolling"blooms" into sheets. The highlightof the day came when an open-hearth furnace produced a "slow-tap," and a great deal of steel waslost into the pits as showers ofsparks and brilliant flashes oflight splashed the scene.

The entire trip was arranged byCyril Donaldson. Private auto-mobiles provided transportation.

UN Membership DriveFor Rochester Unit

A campaign is under way to re-cruit members for the RochesterAssociation's annual United Na-tions membership drive. ThomasO'Brien and Robert Koch, facultymembers of the general educationdepartment are part of a com-mittee in Rochester's educationalinstitutions recruiting members forthe RAUN.

Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, widowof the late president, was presentto open the drive at a luncheonsponsored by the Chamber of Com-merce. Last year the RAUN sent215,000 pounds of clothing to Koreafor refugees in that country.

Both sections of the freshmanclass of the Mechanical . Depart-ment recently toured the machineshops of Kodak Park in lieu of anafternoon in their own shop.

The tour included the machineshop building, the metal processingand conditioning plant, and thesundries, tool and die departments.These areas are those which in-volve the Machine Shop ApprenticeProgram of the Eastman KodakCompany.

The tour enabled the students tovisualize equipment, both familiarand unfamiliar, in actual use andalso to see examples of muchlarger equipment and their specialuses. The punch presses with auto-matic feed and automatic weldingmachines in the sundries depart-ment held the group's interest.

Thanks for a very educationaltour were expressed to Mr. A. Alt,personnel relations man of KodakPark. Arrangements for the' tripwere made by Mr. Cyril Donaldsonof the Mechanical Department. Mr.Sherman Hagberg and Mr. FredBuehler accompanied the group.

Nov. 4 Day of Opportunity at RITTuesday, Nov. 4, is an important

day in the affairs of men. A coun-try divided in its political thinkingwill resolve its party preferenceat the ballot box.

Tuesday, Nov. 4, is also an im-portant day in the lives of men--literally. For on that day the mar-gin between life and death for adefinite number of young men maywell be resolved here—at theInstitute blood bank.

Statistics oftentimes fail toregister much of an impression.For a people become accustomed todigits that stretch to elasticlengths, a few hundred or evenmounting thousands might seeminsignificant. But there's nothinginsignificant in the figures thatcome out of Korea these days.

• • •SINCE JUNE of 1950 122,000

of these men from the UnitedStates have fought in that war andhave been killed or wounded in thedoing. And according to present-day calculations, 500 to 1,000American men just like those whohave gone before will continue tobecome casualties every week—foras long as the indefinite futureholds.

Yes, these are statistics. Incom-prehensible, you say ? Not so. Andveterans from that war are backto make them even more under-standable.

Two of these men are veter-ans who served not only in Korea,but during World War II as wellIn the Photo Tech Department,

Joseph Zakia, 26, and Dick War-ner 25, have met for the first time.Their lives to date have a certain

parallel, and at the moment thatparallel consists of two young menstill trying to complete an educa-tion—looking for something morein life, despite the "interruptions."

Zakia and Warner are lucky.They've lost a certain amount ofground — among other things —but they haven't lost as much assome.Zakia and Warner were pretty

close to each other one day lastyear—but they didn't know it atthe time. Warner was aboard theUSS New Jersey off the eastcoast of Korea and Zakia wasaboard the destroyer Duncan inthe same enemy waters. The datewas May 21, 1951.

Wetmore Manages

Westmore, who hails from Wells-boro, Pa., has some court experi-ence behind him as a player. Thiswill be the first time, however,that he has entered the managerialfield. Don indicates, though, that inassuming the required duties he ex-pects to serve the team in thatcapacity throughout the playingseason.

crashed against the New Jersey'stower and near-misses burst allaround. Before the battleship anddestroyer got in, fired their gunsand slipped out, enemy shrapnelhad boosted the "statistics" a fewmore digits. And the ship's hos-pital made room for more patients.

About six months prior to this ac-tion, Zakia had been near the Man-churian border. It was ChristmasEve, 1950, and there were otherplaces he would have preferred tohave been. But there was seriouswork to be done. It was the timeof the brutal Hungnam evacua-tion. All evening and into thenight the destroyer Duncan wentinto the harbor and out again toa hospital ship. The cargo it car-ried was human misery—the in-jured, the dying, the frozen, thedefeated. Yes, the medics werebusy on shore that day. Plasmabottles were all over the place.And on the hospital ship endlesshours of work had hardly morethan begun.

But, even if the end is yet tocome, relief at least does occur.Zakia returned to the states andwas discharged last February.Warner got back this past July.When Zakia's crew reached SanFrancisco, 98% of the men madeone more gesture in contributionto those left behind. They donat-ed a pint of blood to help re-plenish depleted reserves.

• • •IN THINKING BACK on their

most recent experiences, Zakiaand Warner found much of theKorean war fading even nowfrom memory. But the realness ofit they don't forget. "The troubleis," Zakia reflected, "there's justnot the spirit in the air here athome as in World War II—the at-mosphere of the thing is lacking.And people generally just don'trealize we're fighting a war asthey did then."

Referring to his World War IIexperiences, Zakia mentionedOkinawa, where he did duty withthe Amphibious Corps workingwith the Marines. "Okinawa .

—that's where I really saw theneed for plasma!" he added.Zakia is a graduate of Edison

Tech. Between wars he worked atKodak and attended the Univer-sity of Rochester at night. Heserved in World War II from 1944to 1946, most of that time in Navycommunications. During a briefperiod he was attached to the AirForce as a radioman. A reservist,he was recalled to duty in Septem-ber of 1950.

Warner did yeoman work as aseaman at Norfolk, Va., during ayear and a half of World War II in1944-45. A graduate of Rosella,

Park (N. J.) High School, he re-turned to attend Union Junior Col-lege at Crawford, N. J. Later heoperated his own business as a treesurgeon. But that profession gaveway to interests photographic afterhe, too, was recalled as a reservistin November, 1950. During hisKorean duty he was a photogra-pher's mate, and since that had al-ways been his hobby, he just de-cided to change careers when hewas discharged.

And what do these veteransthink of blood drives? "If peoplecould only really know the needthey wouldn't hesitate to con-tribute," they both agree. "Thosemedics, they really do their job—their only concern is for thesafety of the men above all."

How about making THAT yourconcern, too—on Nov. 4?

When presidential candidatespersonally brought the campaignto Rochester last week, PhotoTech students were on hand to joinpress photographers in recording

the event. TomTietjen got theabove picture ofGeneral DwightD. Eisenhoweraddressing thecrowd of 20,000at New YorkCentral stationlast Thursday.Dick Lee madethe impromptupicture at the

Student reaction to a Stu-dent Council proposal to increasebreak time between classes fromfive to 10 minutes received mixedopinions in a Reporter survey,showing a slight edge for thechange.

Fifty students and faculty mem-bers were interviewed in the spotsurvey but the results proved aboutas conclusive as that for politicalpollsters currently measuring pres-ent presidential preferences.

Of the total expressions received,28 expressed support for extensionwhile 17 voiced the opinion theywould like to see things stay asthey are. Five of those contacteddeclined to commit themselves.

Students were about 2-to-1 infavor of a change with 20 beatingthe drums to extend the break, 10against it, and one undecided. Of19 faculty members questioned, sixwere definitely for the 10-minutebreak, seven just as strongly op-posed to it, and four were withouta conclusive opinion. Two otherinstructors indicated they have noobjection to a change but neitherdo they wish to lend verbal supportto such a move.

"I think the breakbetween classesshould be extended from five to10 minutes," explained Doug Con-iber of Retailing, "in order to givetime to relax ourselves mentallybefore the next session." At theother end of the question and inthe general tone of opposition wasCarroll Wenz (P&P). Wenz statedflatly, "I think we have enoughtime between classes. FurthermoreI'm paying for education and Iwant as much as I can get," headded.

"I think the idea is fine but Iwill be happy either way," was thesafe opinion of Dick Blakesley( Mech). Byron Fair (Mech) wenta little further when he pointedout that "It's a good idea forpeople who want to stop for aCoke or a smoke to have the timeto do so."

Opinions followed departmental

lines to an appreciable degree, itwas noted, with students being in-fluenced by their distance from theEastman Building. Students whohave to change buildings want achange—particularly those whohave to go from the top floor ofone building to the top floor ofanother.

A summary of the faculty showsthat General Education desires achange, Mechanical wishes to re-main as is, the P&P Dept. is split,and the Photo Tech Dept. is gen-erally for extension to 10 minutes.

AC Team SeeksGrad Recruits

An Aviation Cadet Public Re-lations and Selection Team willvisit RIT Friday, Nov. 7. Thisteam will be present to advisegraduating seniors regarding as-pects of a possible military future,and to answer any questions con-cerning the United States AirForce Aviation Cadet program.

Maj. Floyd A. Blackburn, seniorpilot and president of the team,states that the Air Force is main-ly interested in the graduatingsenior for this particular program.Major Blackburn said that al-though the minimum requirementsfor this program are two years ofcollege, the Air Force would pre-fer that that students completefour years of formal schooling ifat all possible.

Other Team MembersThis team, other members of

which are Captain Richard E.Hall and S/Sgt. Lyle W. Blanshan,will be present all day in the East-man Lounge.

To qualify for this program, astudent must pass a three-daytesting period at Sampson AirForce Base, Geneva, N. Y. In-cluded is a test of physical andmental qualifications. The studentmust also be citizen between theages of 19 and 26 1/2 , be singleand agree to remain so until com-pletion of his cadet training. Hemust also have the incentive to fly.

New Provision AppliesUnder the revised program any

person who has served a minimumof one complete tour of duty inany of the armed forces of theUnited States and is qualified forCadet training may be enlisted forthat specific purpose.

Lt. C. A. Krueger, Jr., andS/Sgt. K. W. Stratton recentlyvisited the campus for the pur-pose of making advance arrange-ments for the team's visit. If anyperson wishes to consult a mem-ber of this team and will be un-able to be on campus the day ofthe proposed visit, he may contacta team representative by writing:Aviation Cadet Selection TeamNo. 12, Sampson Air Force Base,Geneva, N.
