Above the Flooded River. Poised a few feet above the swirling flood, a telephone repairman tests a cable on a bridge between Kansas City, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri, while his companion uses a walkie-talkie to co-ordinate repair work. In other places, telephone men were forced to take to boats.

FIGHTING THE NATION'S COSTLIEST FLOOD

Meeting the Emergency. Telephone people not only worked valiantly to restore service but to keep it going. Dikes were thrown around telephone offices. Switchboards raised above rising waters. Emergency power plants set up. Mobile radio telephones rushed to towns where telephone offices were washed out.

From the flooded sections of Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma have come stories of the loyalty, skill and courage of telephone people in one of the Nation's worst floods.

Many returned from vacations to help.

In one town, a single radio appeal for former operators brought twice as many as were needed. H u n d r e d s of t r a i n e d t e l e p h o n e people from other states were rushed to the scene to help their fellow workers.

Once again the Western Electric Company — the Bell System's manufacturing and supply unit — proved its value in an emergency.

By plane, fast freight and truck it rushed millions of feet of cable and wire, telephones, switchboards and other needed equipment.

No one can tell when or where such emergencies will occur, but the Bell System has to be ready and able to handle them when they happen. That means financially able as well as physically able.

This points up again that it takes a financially strong telephone company, with a strong supply organization like Western Electric, to give the Nation the service it requires.

Flying to the Flood Front.

Part of one hundred Long Distance operators who were flown from NewYork, Louisville and Chicago to Kansas City, Missouri, where a flood of calls followed the flood of waters.

With t r a d i t i o n a l Bell System speed and teamwork, they pitched in to help at busy switchboards in the stricken areas.

s THIS month I turn over the Presidency of the National Alumni A Association to the new president, Price Gilbert, I want to tell you Alumni that I have g e n u i n e l y enjoyed serving you and the Association I the last years. I not only have felt highly h o n o r e d in b e i n g your President but have truly regarded the office as a privilege and opportunity for service to Alumni and Tech.

During my term of office, the Association's schedule and planning suffered considerable upset and delay due to the fact that in that time it has had to function under the direction of three different Executive Secretaries. Jack Thiesen resigned to act in the less strenuous capacity of Foundation Secretary. Then Howard Ector, who succeeded Jack, served only four months before a lucrative business offer lured him away. Now, most happily, we have Roane Beard, whom we were able to induce to return to Alumni work after trying out the industrial world for a time.

Nevertheless, I believe that there has been real progress and accomplishment during the last two years. Outstanding was the major part that Alumni and the Alumni Association played in the Alexander Memorial Building Campaign which raised an astounding $1,500,000. The Campaign was invaluable in the renewed Alumni interest it kindled for Tech and the Alumni Association.

Other signs of progress include additional Alumni Clubs and greater interest and activity on the part of all Clubs, the starting of a new and more comprehensive a l u m n i b i o g r a p h i c a l file, changes in the format and content of The Alumnus, bigger and better Homecoming and Commencement festivities, and revision of Constitution and ByLaws for your consideration at the coming Annual Meeting.

As I go out of office, I want to thank the members of the Board of Trustees who have served with me these past two years. They have been most able and cooperative and each member has given his valuable time generously and gladly. Tech and the Alumni Association owe much to them.

Again, many thanks for giving me the opportunity to serve as your President for two terms. It has been a pleasure and has given me a new pride in Tech and Tech men.

JUDGE PRICE GILBERT PASSES GROUND BROKEN FOR NEW TECH LIBRARY TO HONOR NOTED JURIST AMED in honor of the late Judge N S. Price Gilbert, a new library building is under construction on the campus. The five-story modern structure of brick and tile work and glass paneling, located on Cherry Street opposite the Research building, will be completed in 1953.

In the new building adequate space will be provided for the scientific and technical collection of 125,000 books and the 2,500 magazines to which Tech subscribes. Cubicles for graduate students, a film library, and a music room will be included.

Judge Gilbert died on August 28, 1951, after a long illness. His last public appearance was at the ground breaking exercises on July 5. The 89year-old jurist, legislator, and patron of education had played a prominent part in the history of Georgia.

which reads, according to one reviewer, "like a history of the generation of Georgians that rebuilt the state after the War Between the States."

Judge Gilbert gave an infirmary to the University of Georgia as a memorial to his father, and his son, Francis Howard Gilbert, who was killed during World War I. Since his retirement, Judge Gilbert had been on the Board of Regents and had continued as chairman of the

Board of Stewards of St. Mark's Methodist Church. He spent considerable time in getting the government to make a national monument of historic Fort Frederica on St. Simons Island where he had a winter home. Judge Gilbert celebrated his golden wedding anniversary there in December, 1945.

Judge Gilbert is survived by his wife and one son, Price Gilbert, Jr., '21, president of the Georgia Tech National Alumni Association.

At the ground breaking, Mrs. J. Henley Crosland, Tech librarian since 1927, recounted the part Judge Gilbert had played in making the building a reality.

He gave funds to provide preliminary studies, plans, and specifications and additional funds for furnishing and beautifying the building.

Son of a country doctor, Dr. Jasper Newton Gilbert, who served in the Confederate army, Judge Gilbert was born January 31, 1862, near Columbus.

He studied law at Vanderbilt University and at Yale.

Judge Gilbert had served in two State Capitol buildings. As a member of the Georgia legislature from Muscogee County, he attended the last session held in the old building on Forsyth and Marietta in 1888, and then he attended the first session of the legislature that met in the present building in 1889.

He remained in the legislature until 1892, when he became Solicitor General. He was a Superior Court judge from 1908 to 1916 and then on the Supreme Court bench until his retirement in 1936. While a member of the Supreme Court, he wrote over 2,000 decisions and participated in 12,000 cases.

Active in many walks of life, Judge Gilbert wrote the autobiography, "A Georgia Lawyer," published in 1946,

Meet You at the VARSITY W Tech, now separated ITHIN

by the Atlanta Expressway, lies the Varsity, the restaurant that sells more hot dogs and more of that famous Coca-Cola than any other place in the world.

Mr. W. Frank Gordy, owner and manager of the famous Varsity was a student at Georgia Tech in 1923 and 1924.

He left Tech and there is a little period there which is not accounted for, but he ran the Yellow Jacket Inn at the corner of North Ave. and Hemphill until 1930. He, at the same time, started the Varsity at its present location, 61

North Avenue in 1928. The size of his original place was roughly 14-feet wide by 35-feet long. The 1951 Varsity now occupies an entire block and is the world's largest drive-in restaurant.

When Frank started out there were two men who started with him, Monk Sudderth and Johnny Hutchinson; both of them are still with him. They serve as co-managers, working opposite shifts.

The almost round-the-clock activity of the Varsity now keeps 150 employees occupied. Prompt, courteous service and excellent fresh food are the key to t h e phenomenal success of the Varsity.

Each day a complete truckload of bread products is unloaded at the Varsity. On Saturday, it is two whole truckloads. The Varsity has been the largest individual consumer of bakery products in the world.

For many years, Tech students constituted practically all of Frank Gordy's customers, but today it is a far different story. Many business men, and women too, drive out to the Varsity for their noon-day meal. Now Tech students make up only about 30% of his trade, mainly because he has grown so large, not that the students aren't still going to the Varsity. Frank has bent over backwards to give the students good service; even cashing their checks, a practice he has seldom regretted.

On busy nights as many as 3,000 cars are served by the car-hops, who work strictly for tips. Production line techniques make it possible to serve this many without having them lose too much patience. Many of the curb boys have been with Frank for a long time.

Those of you who have visited the Varsity will recall the names of "Flossie," "Sam," "Lucky 13," and "Hot Poppa" (now deceased). One of Frank's boys,

Julius Russell, has become a TV performer, appearing on the Robert Q. Lewis program. James "Chief" Rhodes, who has been with Frank for many years, is in charge of the curb boys.

You've heard him holler "number 17 in Snellville." The name Snellville pertains to a location on the drive-in lot.

The first Varsity had no place to sit down. It was not until comparatively recently that Frank put chairs and provided entertainment in the form of two television rooms for his patrons. It can be assumed that when Atlanta gets color television, the Varsity will be one of the first places to have it.

Behind the scenes, they have the latest in labor-saving and clean-handling equipment. There are 100-gallon steam cookers, an ice-making machine that turns out 5500 pounds of ice daily, a machine which can make 1,000 fruit pies in an hour, hot dog and hamburger conveyors keep the counters supplied with a minimum of effort. The Varsity's motto is "no food over 12 hours old" and if you have ever seen it operate, you know that it takes a really efficient organization to live up to that motto.

In addition to the Atlanta Varsity, Mr. Gordy operates a highly successful one in (pardon the word) Athens, Ga. Mr. Gordy has a son 19 years old and a daughter six. Mr. Gordy has for many years been a good friend of Tech's for many reasons. If for no other reason, he has provided Tech with a fine place to get excellent food.

School of ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING HE Department of Electrical Science T at Georgia Tech was approved by the governing commission of the school in 1896, and funds were appropriated for its equipment by the General Assembly the same year to be paid in 1897 and 1898.

About the same time, the Rockefellerendowed General E d u c a t i o n B o a r d promised President Lyman Hall the sum of $10,000, provided he could secure an equal amount by June 19, 1902.

The success of the drive was announced on that date at Commencement Exercises. The twenty-five young men who received their degrees that day made up the largest class in the history of the school at that time.

Responsibility for the purchase of the equipment was charged to President Hall and Professor Floyd Furlow.

Furlow left Tech a few years later and rose to the presidency of Otis Elevator Company. He served as a trustee of the school for many years.

The degree of Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering was first offered in the catalog for the academic year 1896-1897. In 1901 the present Electrical Engineering building was completed at a total cost of $15,000.

In the doorway of the Electrical building stands Dr. William A. Edson, new director of the school of Electrical Engineering.

Dr. Edson succeeded D. P. Savant, who retired from the directorate but will continue to teach.

From such humble beginnings, a giant has grown up on the campus. By 1950, the department had awarded more degrees than any other, including the older School of Mechanical Engineering, and had the largest enrollment.

The electrical engineering curriculum provides adequate training in the scientific and applied aspects of important branches of engineering, other than electrical. Thus, the graduate is able to understand the problems of men in other fields and is, in addition, able to work in other fields.

Two options are presently offered in the curriculum, both leading to the degree of B.E.E. The electrical power engineering option has to do with the theoretical and practical phases of power generation, distribution, and utilization. The communications and electronics option offers theory and laboratory courses in radio, electronics, telephony, wave filters, transmission lines, antennas, and radiation. Basically the courses are the same through the junior year. The difference is in eighteen quarter hours of specialized work. A student may elect to take both options and can complete the work in

four academic years if he does not take advanced military.

The advent of electronics as a field and its widespread application during and after World War II gave birth to the second option. Some colleges award a degree in communications, but Tech officials feel that this is an unnecessary step since the basic requirements are so similar in that field and in electrical engineering.

In September, 1951, the popular director of the school, D. P. Savant, retired from administrative work. He will continue to teach in the department. Savant was succeeded as director by Dr. William A. Edson, previously professor of electrical engineering. Dr. Edson received his BS and and MS at the University of Kansas and his doctorate at Harvard. He came to Tech in 1945 as a professor of physics.

Placement for electrical graduates is no problem in these days of shortage, but the EE's have always fared well.

Many prominent and successful alumni received their training in that department, and the reputation they have made is well known throughout industry.

CAMPUSONALITIES Cherry Emerson, Master Builder Vice President of Georgia Tech N 1945, Cherry Emerson, ME '08, EE '09, retired. He had completed a career distinguished by business success, high professional recognition, and civic endeavor.

In the six years that have passed, the pasture he entered has changed mightily. It is considerably better for his tenancy.

He came back to Georgia Tech, the school where his father had taught, to become dean of engineering. Tech had problems — the veterans were coming. Thousands of them, many with wives and children, were ready to enter.

Statisticians were warning the colleges that the birth rate, high in the early nineteen forties, was staying high. Another deluge was coming about 1957. Classrooms and housing for these groups were needed. The engineering curriculum needed revision to keep it in pace with modern technical development and the demand of industry. Mr. Emerson had spent thirty-six years in preparation for the task that lay ahead.

In 1909, Emerson began his career as an engineer with Westinghouse. In 1914 he became assistant to the chief engineer of the Duke Power Company, and in 1919, became associated with Robert and Company. He served as chief engineer in the construction of many industrial plants, armed forces installations, and public power and light facilities. He became president of the company in 1933.

I

September-October, 1951

Back at Tech he became the expediter of expansion.

Tech's president, Colonel Blake R. Van Leer, charged him with the responsibility for the $4,000,000 housing construction program and named him vice-president in 1948.

Since assuming this office, he has seen two additions to the Hinman Research Building and the Textile and Bradley buildings completed. Ground has been broken for the Price Gilbert Library. A home for the School of Architecture is under construction. The University System Building Authority provided the funds for this building, and the General Education Board provided further funds to expand the graduate and instructional programs. In March, the Hinman Research Building was dedicated, bringing the value of research facilities to more than $1,500,000.

After such accomplishments, most men would be content to rest on their laurels. Mr. Emerson is looking to the future, examining the needs of the growing institution, and planning improvements in the existing plant.

Our immediate needs, according to Emerson, are a classroom building, an additional story on the Chemistry annex, an improved boiler plant, a student activities building, adequate armories for the R.O.T.C. units, and a faculty club.

Cherry Emerson has often said, "A school must have teachers of great character to mold students into men." In Cherry Emerson, Tech has such a teacher.

WE SALUTE Fred Wesley Ajax, associate dean of students, and presently Tech's most quoted faculty member. Ajax. who directs student and alumni placement, is regarded as an authority on the supply of engineers in these days of critical shortage. So far he has been quoted by Time, U. S. News, and most recently by Fortune (Sept. 1951 — A Helluva Shortage of Engineers).

A man of many jobs, Ajax is also co-ordinator of veterans affairs and acting director of public relations for Tech. He came to these jobs by way of the English department in which he taught after his graduation from Emory.

In placement work he found his medium, and runs the finest graduate placement service in the nation. In addition he publishes a weekly letter for alumni listing available jobs.

Tremendously popular with the students, Dean Ajax has a reputation for his memory. He never forgets a name or a face. Tech is proud of Fred Ajax. It is a pleasure to salute him.

Oscar G. Davis, '22, immediate past president of the Georgia Tech National Alumni Association. Elected in 1949 and re-elected in 1950, Mr. Davis gave generously of his time and thought to the top alumni office. He had previously served as a Trustee since 1946 and had also been vice-president for two terms.

While a student Oscar made an outstanding record scholastically, took part in numerous campus activities and played football for four years. He was an AllSouthern guard in 1921 and 1922 and in 1922 was a member of Perry's AllAmerica. He also lettered in basketball and swimming.

At present he makes h i s h o m e at 3164 Habersham Road, N. W., in Atlanta. He is a trustee of the Junior League Speech School, a member of ANAK, the Capital City Club, the Piedmont Driving Club, Omicron Delta Kappa, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

The Alumni Association has profited by having Oscar Davis to lead it. To him we say, "Thanks — well done."

Roy M. Mundorff, who will leave Georgia Tech in 1952 after thirty years as a member of the faculty and coach. Mundorff will become Director of Athletics at the University of Louisville.

A graduate of Gettysburg College, Mundorff came to Georgia Tech in 1922 as an assistant professor of mathematics. At the same time he took over freshman basketball and baseball coaching. He became head basketball coach in 1924.

Becoming a full-time coach in 1937, Mundorff was head coach in basketball and baseball and assistant in football until 1941 when he was called by the Navy.

Stationed at Tech he continued coaching until 1943 when he was transferred to command of the Radar School at Harvard. In 1945 he became acting commanding officer of the Naval Training School, Harvard, where more than 6,000 officers were in training.

In 1946 he returned to Tech as assistant athletic director, assistant head of the physical training department and director of intramurals.

Upon the death of Coach Alexander in 1950, Mundorff became head of the department of physical training.

Louisville has gotten a good man. Roy's place will be hard to fill. We wish him every success in his new job.

• J. M. Martin and C. L. Ramsey, both chemical engineering students, have been awarded $500 as first place winners in the Eutectic Prize Competition sponsored annually by the Eutectic Welding Alloys Corporation of Flushing, New York.

Mr. Martin and Mr. Ramsey are from Huntington. West Virginia. They carried on their research at Georgia Tech under the direction of Dr. R. J. Raudebaugh, professor of chemical engineering.

• The research work of eight Georgia Tech professors during the past year was recognized by their selection for the 1951 R e s e a r c h A w a r d s of the school's Sigma Xi Club. These annual awards are made possible through the generosity of M. A. Ferst, Atlanta businessman and alumnus.

The first place award was made to Professor M. A. Honnell and M. D. Prince, School of Electrical Engineering, for their paper, "Television Image Reproduction by the Use of VelocityModulation Principles."

The second award has been divided between Dr. W. H. Eberhardt, School of Chemistry, and Dr. Jack Hine and Donald E. Lee, School of Chemistry.

In addition, the following faculty members have received honorable mention for papers published during the past year: Dr. R. S. Ingols, Engineering Experiment Station; Dr. R. D. Teasdale, School of Electrical Engineering; and Professor C. E. Kindsvater, School of Civil Engineering.

The research award winners were honored at a dinner in the ODK room of Brittain Dining Hall. Professor Honnell made the annual Sigma Xi Research Award address as part of the ceremonies.

The Georgia Tech Sigma Xi Club is an affiliate of the national society of Sigma Xi, which has for its object the encouragement of original investigation in pure and applied science.

• An expanded program of graduate instruction in fluid mechanics and hydraulic engineering will begin this year at Georgia Tech according to Professor R. E. Stiemke, director of the School of Civil Engineering. Those completing the new course will be awarded the degree of Master of Science in Civil Engineering.

Professor C. E. Kindsvater will be in charge of the expanded graduate training and research activities. He will be assisted by Dr. M. R. Carstens, associate professor.

This new development is a continuation of Georgia Tech's progress in the field of hydraulic engineering, which started in 1947 with the completion of an Hydraulic Laboratory with the financial assistance of interested industries.

TRUMAN PAYS TRIBUTE TO CARTER BARRON

MATHESON NAMED DEAN AT DREXEL

Dr. Kenneth G. Matheson has been appointed Dean of the College of Business Administration of Drexel Institute of Technology.

He received production of educational and cultural his master's degree in business admindrama," was built in the Nation's Capi- istration and his doctorate at the Unital as a memorial to one of Georgia's versity of Pennsylvania. most famous sons: an outstanding athDr. Matheson's father was Tech's lete, Washington civic leader, and ex- third president, serving in that capacity from 1906 to 1922. ecutive of Loew's, Inc. The Carter Barron Memorial Amphitheater was dedicated with a major policy speech by President Truman, who paid tribute to Barron as the "ideal Southern gentleman."

Barron was the second of three famed brothers who made Georgia Tech gridiron history. A successful business executive, he was an intimate friend of both the late President Roosevelt and President Truman.

His older brother, David Irenus "Red" Barron, set the stage at Tech for the pre-eminence of Carter Barron and younger P a t Barron as "the family of Yellow Jacket halfbacks."

"Red" was a charter nominee in Georgia's sports Hall of Fame.

In his speech, dedicating the n e w bowl-theater to the memory of Barron, President Truman lamented "petty political bickering while freedom dies in Europe."

FIFTH ROLL CALL GETS UNDER WAY Beginning in September, the 1951-'52 Annual Alumni Roll Call appeal started rolling your way. It is hoped that you will continue to give this year's Roll Call your support as in the past. Urge other Tech men to join up and support their National Alumni Association and Alumni Foundation.

Last year, 1,834 contributors gave approximately $24,560 to the Fourth Roll Call. Most of these were repeaters from the previous year. We want to retain the faithful, b u t add additional names to our growing list.

Don't put it off — J O I N THE ROLL CALL today.

THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

ATTENTION, CORPORATE EXECUTIVES! A strong report urging business and industry to make greater contributions to education, science, and welfare has been issued by the National Planning Association. Beardsley Ruml is coauthor of "The Five Per Cent," a pamphlet issued by the NPA Business Committee, of which he is chairman.

The authors estimate that if corporations made full use of their opportunities under existing Federal Tax laws, they could contribute, in 1951, more than $2 billion, as against $239 million during the last year for which complete statistics are available, 1948.

The general tenor of the statement is clear from the following quotation: "Every American business — large or small, manufacturing or retailing, commercial or financial — benefits both directly and indirectly from the increase of human knowledge, the elimination of ignorance and disease, the improvement of living standards, the relief of poverty and personal distress. A dollar wisely and soundly invested in worthwhile educational, scientific and welfare activities comes back many fold

over the longer term. Expenditures which contribute to these ends are neither an unnecessary burden nor a tiresome obligation. Like investment in new plant and equipment, they more than repay their cost in the future and can be among the most productive and remunerative forms of business expenditure."

Copies of this important document are being distributed to key men in business and industry directly by the NPA and indirectly through trade associations.

The authors emphasize that business executives have very little time to perfect plans for making contributions in the 1951 tax year, and suggest that a committee be appointed to explore the possibilities right away and submit a report for consideration. In November, discuss concrete proposals; and in December, authorize contributions either directly to recipients, or to a non-profit foundation, such as the Georgia Tech Alumni Foundation.

Copies of the pamphlet, "The Five Per Cent" may be secured from the National Planning Association, 800 21st Street, N. W., Washington 6, D. C. The price is 50<S a copy.

Our Home Coming game is with Duke ikl I this year on November 3rd, and it appears that there will be a great deal going on, especially for the Reunion classes; that is, '01, '06, '11, '16, '21, '26, '31, '36, '41, and '46. If you are in one of those classes, you should be hearing from someone about the festivities soon. If not, come on to Home Coming anyhow.

Our fiscal year just ended on August 31 and we are hoping that this coming year will be a profitable one for Tech and for you. Our Fifth Annual Alumni Roll Call is getting underway, and naturally we want to make it the most successful one yet. It can be if you will continue to support our efforts to help Georgia Tech.

Enrollment will be down considerably this fall, but those of you who have children in grade schools know that it won't be long before those same children who are being crowded into classrooms as grade-school students, will soon be knocking at the door of some college. Tech will continue to keep those children in view so that when the time comes, we will be ready.

I sincerely believe that we have an administration now that is farsighted enough to look ahead and plan for the future. You must figure in that plan if it is to succeed.

FOOTBALL IN THE SPOTLIGHT HE 1951 Yellow Jackets should feel like last year's anti-aircraft against this year's jet fighter as they face in order: S.M.U.'s Fred Benners, Florida's Heywood Sullivan, and Kentucky's Babe Parilli. It would be difficult for them to seek out any three in the entire nation who could do a better job of passing the pigskin. The Jacket's pass defense last year was one of the poorest in the conference, but maybe we can hope that they gained a lot of experience against these same passing wizards.

Freshmen Atlanta November 24 Davidson Atlanta December 1 Georgia Atlanta Under a new rule, freshmen are eligible for varsity football this fall. Tech, operating under the two-platoon system, will carry about sixty men on the varsity squad. There will be 9 seniors, 18 juniors, 26 sophomores and about 7 freshmen on the squad. Among those who are expected to come from the

freshmen ranks and help the varsity are: Larry Morris, fullback and ace linebacker; Archie Griffin and Frank Webster, defensive ends; Ben Daugherty, defensive tackle; Allen Lee, defensive sideback, and possibly one of three quarterbacks, Bill Brigman, Ed Hamilton, or Dave Redford.

Tech's offensive line will be the heaviest it has been in quite some time. The following are expected to be the mainstays: ends — Dave Davis, Buck Martin, Jeff Knox; tackles — Hal Miller, Lum Snyder, Frank Givens; guards — Ray Beck, Hugh Hardison, Norman Campbell; centers — George Morris and Pete Brown. Most any combination of the above will average about 205 pounds.

Offensively in the backfield will be: quarterbacks — D a r r e l l C r a w f o r d , Pepper Rodgers, Skin Edge; halfbacks — Dick Goudy, Leon Hardeman, Johnny Hicks, Chappell Rhino, Bill Teas, Harry Wright; fullbacks — George Maloof, Glenn Turner, Art Ross.

Tech's defensive line will not be as heavy as the offensive one, but should have gained some experience and ability over last year's. The linemen who are counted on are: ends — Pete Ferris, Archie Griffin, Frank Webster, Sid Williams; tackles — Capt. Lamar Wheat, Bill Thaden, Roger Frey, Bob Sherman; guards — Orville Vereen, Ed Carithers, Ray Beck, Matt Lyons; centers—George Morris, Pete Brown, Alex Hunt, Larry Morris, Milford Bennett (includes defensive fullbacks).

Defensively at sideback will be: Charlie Brannon, Jack Patterson, Bobby Moorhead, Powell Sheffer, Allen Lee, Dick Pretz.

Safety men will be from among the following: Jakie Rudolph, Peden Templeton, Chappell Rhino, Harry Wright.

Of course, the team is far from selected at this early date. There may be many, not in the above list, who will break into the above line-up and play a lot of football before the season is over. Early injuries indicate that there will have to be suitable replacements found for some of those counted on most heavily.

JACKETS UPSET SMU IN OPENER 21-7 Georgia Tech started its '51 season with a convincing win over favorite SMU, 21-7. There appeared to be several factors working in the Yellow Jackets' favor; namely, they are a better team than SMU thought they were, the weather was against SMU, principally a passing team, Tech wanted to win this one and had the hustle to do it, and SMU was worried about Ohio State, their next opponent.

The cover was removed after an allnight rain which seemed to leave the field in pretty good condition. There were some slight drizzles in the first half, which made the ball slippery and this led to the first Tech score in the first quarter. SMU had taken the opening kickoff and marched rather convincingly down the field on running plays to the Tech 30. There they came to a rude stop as Tech held and broke up pass attempts, forcing a punt into the end zone.

Tech moved for one first down, punted to SMU's 13, where a penalty brought it out to the 28. SMU was forced to punt and the snap to Norton slipped through his fingers; he stooped to pick it up and kicked it accidentally back to his own six-yard line where Tech took over. On first down, sophomore Glenn Turner smashed inside tackle for the score on a neatly executed play. Turner then kicked the extra point and made it 7-0.

SMU recovered a fumble shortly before the end of the first quarter on Tech's 39. They went to the 27 on run-

ning plays, then Fred Benners, their star passer, hit two straight, the last one as end White stood in the end zone by himself. They tied it up by kicking the extra point.

About the middle of the second quarter, Darrell Crawford threw a looping pass to Johnny Hicks down the west boundary and Johnny sped on without interference into the end zone standing up. The play covered 43 yards. Turner converted and Tech led at half-time 14-7.

In the fourth period, after a favorable exchange of punts gave Tech the ball on SMU's 29, Leon Hardeman lugged the leather on a quick opening pitchout all the way for the final tally.

Turner again converted making the final score Tech 21, SMU 7.

The following facts are of interest: all three touchdowns were scored by sophomores: Turner, Hicks, and Hardeman; Turner kicked all three extra points; the pass defense put up by the Jackets was as good as any ever seen at Grant Field â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Moorehead, Brannon and Rudolph, in the secondary, Larry Morris and George Morris backing up the line; and those in the front line who rushed or dropped back to defend, did a beautiful job of defending against Fred Benners, a passer who seemed not to know the ball was wet and who can throw with the best of them; Powell Sheffer did a nice job of quick kicking; the fans loved the game 'cause they sat there through downpours of rain.

Buck Andel Georgia Tech Dr. Sam Murray Georgia Tech

Broyles, former Tech quarterback, came to Tech after being assistant to Coach Bob Woodruff at Baylor and Florida. Lyle, former all-conference end at L.S.U. in '49, came from the L.S.U. coaching staff. Hagan, '49 quarterback at South Carolina, came to Tech via Bass and O'Keefe High Schools in Atlanta. Bossons, as you will remember, was last year's Yellow Jacket captain.

Philip T. Shutze, '12, was recently elected a Fellow in the American Institute of Architects. To be made a Fellow is a signal recognition given by the institution for architects' efforts in behalf of the profession. It is one of the highest honors the profession can confer.

Of Mr. Shutze the institute said: "His mastery of the fundamental principles of design and the use of the classical architectural forms as well as his taste in ornamentation and detail are evident not only in his numerous residences, but also in such important buildings as the following: Crawford Long Memorial Hospital, the Fulton County Medical Society Building, Rich Memorial Building, the Citizens and Southern National Bank, the Temple in Atlanta, and buildings for the Southern Bell Telephone Company and Sears, Roebuck throughout the southeast."

WOOD IN BRAZIL Clyde M. Wood, C.E. '15, is President of Automatic Sprinklers of Brazil. Mr. Wood came to Brazil in 1945 to explore the feasibility of setting up such an organization, representing the Automatic Sprinkler Corporation of Youngstown, Ohio. His recommendation was carried out. The new company is Brazilian as are the workers.

Mr. Wood is making an effort to reduce both fire loss and insurance rates in the South American country and is getting cooperation from governmental groups in Brazil and Underwriters in the U. S. Mr. Wood is an enthusiast about Brazil and Brazilians â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and about fire protection. He says, "I've been in this business over thirty-five years and I'll, bet one of the sprinkler systems I've designed or sold is putting out a fire right this minute."

ORIGINAL BAND MEMBERS TO BE FETED Mike A. Greenblatt, director of the original Georgia Tech Band from 1910 to 1913, would again like to extend an invitation to those who played in the band during that period to be his guests at the Alumni Luncheon, November 3, preceding the Tech-Duke game.

All those members who are able to attencl are asked to drop a line to the Alumni office and let us know whether they can make it, also if they can bring their wives, who are cordially invited.

Mike says that time is flitting and he would like to continue to hold this reunion each year for his cronies.

Recently he asked to be allowed to pitch in place of one of the Giant's pitchers who appeared tired. He pitched and won and this is what his manager, Durocher, said about him: "The important thing is that it's the first time since I came to the Giants that a fellow came to me and asked to pitch. I think that's great spirit."

BURMA REPORT NEWS A B O U T TECH - SUPPORTED Y M C A REETINGS from far-off Burma, where people are trying hard to bring their country up to the standard of a well-run nation! Still one of the newest lands in the world, she is having her difficulties as she tries to recover from the ravages of being fought over twice during World War II, and then suffering the birth pains of independence in 1948, and now still struggling against all varieties of rebels from within who are trying to destroy what semblance of order has been established, and finally worried about neighbors on the north.

Here is a country where the railroads are daily blown up by insurgents, where the few highways that are open to traffic have to be guarded constantly by military patrols, and over which traffic frequently moves in convoys.

Here is a country where even the traditional river traffic is pirated by armed bandits. The safest way to travel is by air so all t h e various districts under rebel control can be hopped over instead of crossed.

Burma has other problems, too. For example, once, not long ago, I went to the post office to get a package. As I was signing the necessary papers one of the delivery men came up and asked me if I had any use for the string that was holding the package together. He needed it to hold the bundles of letters as he went along his route. Even the post office department is too poor to buy string for its carriers! One really learns how to conserve here, for it is in a similar spirit that most everything is done in Burma. Instead of with paper clips or staples, two or three sheets are held together with rice paste. Envelopes are steamed apart, and then pasted back together inside out so the receiver

can use them a second time. And so it goes in many realms of life â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not "Scotchness," but just shortages of many kinds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that's the problem.

What, one asks, then, can anyone do through the YMCA to be of help where such conditions exist? One easy answer is that in such a situation, anything helps, and certainly the processes of life go on, and we must do something. For here, too, mothers want to see their sons grow into useful citizens, fathers are proud of their children's athletic or scholastic accomplishments, people laugh at jokes, and high minded citizens want to do the best for their country. In spite of all the handicaps mentioned above, the constructive-minded citizens of Burma are trying to improve conditions, and they do need our help.

Therefore, in the boys' work program of the YMCA, which until last year was nothing, we are beginning with a few items here and there with the hope that in time they may grow and spread. In reality, we might call this work in

FROM GENE TURNER, JR Burma a Georgia Tech Project, because it is almost completely financed

by Tech Alumni. That's why I want to tell you about it, for I feel all alumni deserve a report of this activity that is spreading the influence of their alma mater half way around the world, not on a technical mission, but on a spiritual, citizenship building program.

I just came back from an interesting afternoon, part of which involved the watching of a soccer game involving some of our "Y" boys. The YMCA isn't primarily a relief or welfare organization, but even so we have opportunities to be of assistance to people in need from time to time. This soccer game is one such instance. It was between some 9, 10, and 11 year old boys. It wasn't an ordinary group of boys, for these particular fellows are the sons of Karen refugees who, in the course of the recent civil strife, were forced to flee for their lives. They are now squatting it out here in Rangoon. The Karens are (continued on page 30)

•75 Years

Ago

Though the greatest advances have been made within three decades, the foundation for this progress was laid by the pioneering American chemists who 75 years ago had the vision to form the American Chemical Society. Their society has grown from a handful of members to well over 60,000—the world's largest professional scientific organization. The people of Union Carbide are glad to pay tribute

to the American Chemical Society on its Diamond Jubilee, and on the occasion of the World Chemical Conclave.

Union Carbide Grows With

Science

Chemistry and the related fields of physics and metallurgy have long been major interests of Union Carbide. The application of these sciences to producing new and better materials has been the backbone of UCC's growth.

CITY PLANNING PROFESSOR APPOINTED Howard K. Menhinick, Director of Regional Studies with the Tennessee Valley Authority, has been appointed Regents' Professor of City Planning in the School of Architecture at Georgia Tech.

The appointment is a step forward in the half-million-dollar plan to expand

the teaching and research personnel and facilities of the School of Architecture, which was assured last April by a grant of $261,500 towards t h e cost of the plan from the Trustees of the General Education Board. One of the four major fields included in the plan is the establishment of a strong program in city planning.

Mr. Menhinick, who will assume his new duties on October 1, was born in Lansing, Michigan, and graduated from Michigan State College in 1923 with the degree of Bachelor of Science. In 1928, he was awarded the degree of Master of Landscape Architecture in City Planning by Harvard University.

From 1929-1936, he was a member of the teaching staff of the Harvard University Graduate School of City Planning, and served as Acting Chairman in 1932-33.

In 1937, he joined the Tennessee Valley Authority as a member of the Planning Staff of the Division of Regional Studies, later becoming director of that division. He was granted a sixmonths' leave-of-absence from TVA in 1946 to act as Director, Headquarters' Planning Staff of the United Nations, and served the Headquarters Commission which was assigned the task by the General Assembly of selecting the site for the United Nations Headquarters.

BRADLEY BUILDING DEDICATED The new building to house the facilities of the College Inn was dedicated on September 22. The one-story building connects the present administration and library buildings.

The idea behind the construction of this building was to relieve the already overcrowded conditions faced by t h e College Inn Soda Fountain, Cafeteria, and Supply Store.

The W. C. and Sarah H. Bradley Foundation has helped the Georgia Institute of Technology solve one of its ever-present space problems by the construction of this building. Mr. William B. Turner is the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Bradley Foundation.

BURMA REPORT (Continued

from page 17)

one of the Tribal groups making up t h e hinterland population of Burma.

We recently found a young man who is eager to work voluntarily with these boys, and help them get a lift out of life. One of t h e ways they are trying to expand themselves is through activities like this which involve boys outside their group, for the team they were playing was not made up of club members, but just a group of other Karen boys who also live in the neighborhood; but who have not yet become interested in participating actively in YMCA activities. Some time ago this same group held a campfire program one evening to which they invited a lot of their friends. Thus, in their own limited way, they are having fun and b e ginning to learn about community service, too, even though their own r e sources are meager.

The idea of democratically organized clubs for boys is a relatively new thing in Burma, and we are finding it an interesting experience to see how boys here take to t h e idea. T h e high school boys, especially, like it, for in t h e past, adults have had more to say than t h e boys. Our activities have only been started within the last year; so we have a long w a y to go as we conduct our work with Buddhist, Mohammedan, Hindu, and Christian youth.

And so, looking at Burma from the long range point of view, we hope that through this beginning we can gradually make an impact on the youth of Burma; and through them, do something to make this key country of Southeast Asia more fit for citizenship in the world of free nations.

Sincerely yours, EUGENE A. TURNER, JR.
