—the editor's notes

A W E HAD THOUGHT that with our comments in the last issue we had said our last about the 1956 football season. But, we reckoned without George Griffin.

About a week after our February deadline we received our yearly note from the good dean concerning his football ticket dealings. For your information, here is what he had to say: "My football ticket manipulations for the 1956 season evidently earned me a profit of $19.20. I purchased two sets of Georgia tickets for alumni on their request, but they never called for them.

So, I passed them along to a couple of our friends. If the folks who sent me the checks to purchase those tickets will write to me, I will be delighted to return $9.60 to each of them."

It's always gratifying to know that there are a few people in this world who never change. George Griffin—in his ticket manipulations and, in fact, in everything he does — is one of those wonderful constants still around. * * * A

SPEAKING OF CHANGE, several of

you

noticed the completely new cover design on the February Alumnus. Of those of you we heard from, many seem to like the new approach while others were (to put it mildly) lukewarm to the new design. Anyway, it made us feel right good that so many of you seem to notice changes in the magazine. You can be sure that every one of your comments was welcomed regardless of whether or not you approved of the change.

The decision was made in favor of the new design because of its versatility, low cost of maintanence and because we felt that it was time for a change.

The new design was carried out by John McKenzie from an idea that we conjured up a few months back. John is officially connected with the magazine as the printing salesman who has handled the account for the past two years. Since he arrived on the Alumnus picture he has taken much more than the ordinary printing-salesman interest in what we turn out.

Unofficially he has become chief critic, father confessor and an exceptionally loyal friend to the editor.

Most of the improvement that many of you have commented on in the magazine over the past 16 issues can be traced directly to this large man—artist, typo2

grapher, journalist and becalmer of excited editors by profession and alumnus of Tech and Emory by intention.

A WITH THIS COVER, we present the third

in a continuing series of Tech people by Jane Wallace. We hope that it brings us as much comment as did her previous efforts. One of the many nice comments that Jane received on her earlier cover on Coach Alex came from Coach Bobby Dodd, subject of her first cover; "It captured the strength in the man's character better than any portrait ever done on Alex," said the man who knew the subject better than most.

Incidentally, those of you who may want copies of the Dodd and Alexander portraits suitable for framing may get them free by writing to Bob Wallace.

The Georgia Tech Alumnus, Atlanta 13. * * * THE PHOTO STORY that accompanies the

cover of this issue took a long time to prepare. In the process of getting the story we wanted, photographer Bill Dieh! shot over 200 pictures. They were taken under most difficult conditions as the student government units all seem to meet at night in poorly lighted rooms around the campus.

For those of you who like the technical data of photography Bill used an M-3 Leica and a 3.5 Rolleiflex with Tri-X film to get the existing light pictures on pages 6 through 13 of this issue. He used no added light at any time, hence the naturalness of his subjects. * * * IF YOU TURN to the '56 class notes on page 26 of this issue you will notice an engagement notice of Miss Shirley Clements, E E to F. B. Mewborn, EH. In writing us about the announcement.

Shirley asked Roane Beard if he would handle the first coed wedding as he had said he would during a New York Club meeting last November. Beard had said, "I guess with our record system the only thing we can do when a coed graduate gets married is to mark her deceased."

To allay Shirley's fears we might say that Beard has not dusted off the deceased stamp as yet. Seems he's just going to go along with progress like the rest of us.

T H E JANUARY ISSUE of The Research Engineer, semitechnical quarterly of the Tech Engineering Experimenl Station details the advances made by Georgia Tech in the field of nuclear science and engineering over the past year. The key article in this issue was written by a young Tech physicist and is reprinted for you on pages 16 and 17 of this issue. Briefly, here is what the rest of the report had to say: Tech's master's level program of education in nuclear science and engineering, in the planning stage a year ago, is now a reality as the first students are in their second quarter of work.

The radioisotopes laboratory building that was just a dream 12 month ago is now in the hands of an architect and should be completed sometime this year. This building and its equipment will be ranked with the very best in the Nation in the field. It was made possible by a special $300,000 grant from Governor Griffin last April. And, as you may remember, this building was one that we featured as a major need of Tech in a roll call brochure over 18 months ago.

A subcritical assembly, a valuable educational and research tool, has been completed and is now in operation on the campus. Using 5,500 pounds of uranium, the assembly produces nuclear fission with the maximum amount of safety and offers a tool to teach the nuclear students first-hand the design and use of reactors. This assembly only cost Tech $4,000 and along with its instruments is valued at $140,000. The uranium and the instruments were furnished free of charge by the Atomic Energy Commission. And, it was the joint faculty-alumni interest in this field that helped bring these needs to the attention of the Governor, whose initial grant made all this AEC aid possible.

Progress is being made in the Tech request for a research reactor. The Governor and other State officials have shown great interest in helping Tech secure the best multi-million dollar reactor available for our research and education program. Again, that 1955 brochure listed the reactor as one of Tech's needs.

This report, which is available without cost to all Tech alumni, shows the great progress Tech has made in this challenging field in twelve short months. But if we don't keep our top-flight faculty people, all of this hardware will do us no good at all. Your continued support of your Roll Calls will assure Tech of the best faculty available on today's market. And, that's why we continue to ask for your help. (fa-i.tOrx-eJL

Sincere thanks . . . . . . from Georgia Tech and all Tech alumni is due to those who gave so generously of their time and effort to the personal solicitation section of the 10th Roll Call Campaign.

The personal solicitation drive this year was confined to 23 cities in Georgia and was restricted further to some 1200 alumni who had not contributed to the 9th Roll Call. For each of these cities a chairman was appointed to take charge of the drive in that area. Each chairman then organized a group of workers in his respective city and each worker was assigned 5 to 10 prospects to call upon. A total of over 300 Tech alumni participated in this phase of the campaign which began in October and officially "ended" on December 1. As is the usual case, however, a further carry-over period was required to get to all of the calls.

Everyone pitched in with typical Tech spirit. Pep and organizational meetings were held to get things started. At several meetings in the Greater Atlanta area, a team of speakers made up of Ivan Allen, Jr., Walter Mitchell, Fred Storey, Dr. Paul Weber and Bobby Dodd swung into action with enthusiasm and got results. Marietta and Albany held full-scale alumni meetings and both organized permanent Tech clubs as a result of this campaign effort.

It was a fine, successful effort on the part of these many intensely loyal and willing alumni. They set out to do a strenuous job at a busy time.

And they did the job to the extent of over 700 new contributors and many thousands of additional dollars for the Roll Call total.

I wish I had enough space to name each worker who took part in this campaign. Unfortunately, I can only name those who acted as city chairmen and really sparked the campaign: Randy Whitfield, Atlanta; W. E. Broadwell, Jr., Albany; Henry L. Collier, Americus ; Newman Corker, Athens; E. H. Kuhlke, Augusta; A. M. Harris, Brunswick; J. R. Newell, Carrollton; Dave Tillman, Cartersville ; John R. Kinnett, Jr., Columbus; Walter M. Jones and Thomas R. Jones, Dalton; Bob Hightower, Dublin; George Mathews, Jr., Fort Valley; George Thomas, Jr., Gainesville; Edward S. Crouch, Griffin; Claude Daniel, LaGrange ; W. Elliott Dunwody, Macon; Richard Watkins, Marietta; Homer N. Meier, Milledgeville ; Hamilton C. Arnall, Newnan; J. Ridley Reynolds, Rome; Hugh Armstrong, Savannah; Julian Hightower, Thomaston and Joe L. Jennings, West Point.

To these chairmen, their workers and the hundreds of new contributors, I wish to express the sincere thanks on behalf of Georgia Tech, the Alumni Association and Foundation and all Georgia Tech alumni.

Sincerely,

Oscar G. Davis, Chairman

THE CRUSADERS

T

looking at you from out of these two pages may go down as members of the most crusading Student Council in Tech's history. Elected by the student body, they are the authoritative voice of the students in all dealings with the administration. As the legislative and — in effect — executive branches of Tech's student government, the Council wields a great deal of power over student affairs. It handles student complaints, controls distribution of activities fees, handles student seating at athletic events, elects Trial Board members and Honor Board student members, charters all campus organizations, and — as the following pages show — crusades for the students.

The Meetings and the Activities ALREADY MARKED DOWN on the successful side of this J\^ year's Council's crusade list are the improvement in Student Activities Night, which they ran for the first time, and the coordination of the student activities at Homecoming, which they campaigned for so vigorously.

In February of this year, another of the Council's pet campaigns bore fruit when the Board of Regents approved an increase in Tech's student activities fees from $28.50 to $33.00 per year. This increase—first such change in 11 years—will be divided between the Tech YMCA, Technique, Rambler, Blue Print, Student Entertainment Committee, Student Activities Building Fund and the Council, itself, who got the smallest increase (from 35 to 50 cents).

But the most important of the crusades—revision of the Student Government Constitution and By-laws—is still just a project. In committee meetings as well as in the weekly Tuesday-night session of the entire membership, the Council has been hammering away at the sections of the old Constitution and By-Laws they know are antiquated for serving today's Tech students. One by one these revisions are being presented to the proper administrative groups for approval. And—if all goes well—the student body will soon have the chance to vote on a new Constitution.

Giving executive committee report, Junior Class President Fred Osborne draws laughs of Council. The class officers have little responsibility at Tech because of a lack of class unity.

Pausing during questioning of his report, Council Treasurer Hal Reeves gets set to explain the point in question to the Tech Council.

Bored with the long committee reports, a Council member tries his hand at blackboard art while others watch speaker.

Patrick

Edward Bolger was a student leader at Crete (111.) High School as well as a basketball and football star. At Tech, he has concentrated on being a student leader.

Like most student leaders, Pat has been a member of many campus organizations.

And his reputation and abilities are such that at the end of his junior year he was under consideration for both the top and senior posts at Tech—editor of the Technique and president of the Student Council, top campus Political Post.

As managing editor of last year's paper, Pat fully expected to be named 195657 editor without much opposition. He had given little thought to the Student Council job. But, in a big surprise move.

Tech's Publications Board upped his roommate, Bob Marbut, from news editor to editor for this year.

Before Pat could recover from the shock, he was named head of the Student Council—a job that he takes seriously as the pictures on this page indicate.

The eternal ticket squabble: Pat tries to convince Howard Ector that the students need better seats. "So," answers Ector, "does everyone.'"

Student trouble: Dean George Griffin fusses good-naturedly at Pat about student conduct.

Waiting to meet the Trial Board, a student (back to camera) gets the support of a friend.

Waiting for the case, the 1957 Trial Board looks serious. Chairman Ray Baker is at center. The boy got one offense for a prank.

The Big Push for a New Concept of Student Discipline and far-reaching crusade underTtaken by the 1957 Student Council is concerned with the HE MOST AMBITIOUS

judicial branch of Georgia Tech's student government.

Today, responsibility for student discipline at Tech is spread out over three different groups. The Student-Faculty Honor Committee handles all cases of students accused of cheating in classes. The Student Trial Board is concerned with cases involving infractions of other rules by the students excepting the extremely serious cases handled by the administration directly. In adition, the Tech Interfraternity Council has a Trial Board and an honor court of its own, and the Ramblin' Reck Club runs the famed 'Rat Court" to discipline freshmen each fall. The student leaders in presenting their case for a centralized body to handle all of these matters of general student discipline argue that a joint studentfaculty committee would be much more efficient as well as help to improve student-faculty relationships on the campus.

Under this new plan proposed by the Student Trial Board and promoted by the Student Council, all matters concerning student discipline excepting those involving mental abberation will automatically come before one organization to be 12

known as the Judiciary Cabinet. If the proposal passes the administration and the student body, the new cabinet will be made up of 8 students elected by the Student Council and 3 faculty members selected by the Institute's President.

The vice president of the Student Council, who under present rules heads the Trial Board, will automatically become chairman of the Cabinet.

The new Cabinet would be authorized to levy punishment on students ranging from reprimands to permanent expulsion from school. It would contain a built-in committee to hear appeals of decisions passed by the "Rat Court' and the IFC Trial Board. Decisions of this Cabinet would be final, and the students' only appeal would be to the administration's Executive Committee.

The new concept of student discipline is a long way from reality at Tech. The administration is studying it at the present time. And chances are that the proposal will have to be rewritten several times before it passes. But, Tech student leaders are optimistic. And they intend to continue the crusade until it is accepted by the administration and the student body. When it is, all the work will be worthwhile.

SWIMMING

Adjusting the fulcrum for a dive, Tech's Dave Moore prepares for one of the dives that netted him 3rd place against Gators.

Tech's star diver, Bob Ballard, finished 2nd on an off night.

SWIMMING—like all the so-called minor sports at Georgia Tech—is a matter of individual and team pride. There are no scholarships, big crowds, hero worship or any of the other compensations of the big-time sports. Only the weary hours of practice and the fierce competitive spirit of man remain to identify it as a sport.

A swimming meet is unlike any other sporting event. The crowd is small and arrives early. There is a festive pre-meet air about the spectators. It is somewhat like a family picnic without the food. Mainly it is made up of relatives and friends of the swimmers and devotees of the sport. And the sweat-suited participants sit and chat in the stands with their own circle of fans before the meet starts.

Then a man appears at the diving-board end of the pool and in the voice of an educated circus barker announces the first event along with the participants. Those entered in the event shed their sweat suits and start limbering up, a process that consists mainly of flexling muscles and swinging arms and legs before jumping into the pool to test starts.

Another man appears with a pistol in his hand. And the announcer informs the crowd and the swimmers of the starting procedures. The crowd tenses and is silent. The gun goes off with a roar that echoes back and forth through the hot, damp room like a firecracker dropped above a halfempty rain barrel on a long forgotten 4th of July.

Immediately the cheering begins. It is not organized cheering. It is, like the efforts of the men in the pool, a matter of every man for himself. Back and forth at the two ends of the pool, members of the two teams urge their teammates to superhuman efforts with yelling and animated gestures.

With a final, definite, earsplitting scream from the crowd the relay comes to an end. A length or two back a lone

a matter of pride swimmer struggles to finish a race that is hopelessly lost.

For it is the code of the swimmer that every man should finish his match. Score one for swimming.

The meet progresses with the crowd alternately cheering the two teams involved in the meet. On this particular nighl Tech and Florida, the two best in the SEC, are locked in a duel for first place in the conference, and Tech's undefeated string of 9 is at stake. Despite this fact, there is no booing of officials or of the other team. Everyone who gives a good showing gets his hand. Score another for swimming.

The divers are up now. They are the artistic ones. And a quiet falls on the crowd. As each diver approaches the end of the board, the crowd seems to hold its breath, collectively.

And the silence is such that a camera click sounds like the roar of a 45. The diving judges are spread around the pool, flicking their cards after each dive as the crowd roars And even though they are often at different poles in their scoring of a diver, the crowd shows no impatience. Only a healthy laugh or two indicates the crowd reaction. Score three for swimming.

Tech lost the meet, 45-41. But Coach Freddie Lanoue was not too disappointed. 'I was proud of them," he said.

"I didn't expect them to come that close against a team like Florida. They put up a great show." And the boys who call their coach, Freddie, lost just as graciously.

And as the crowd moved out, the teams gathered at opposite sides of the pool and let out a big "Yeah" for each other. And we, who had forgotten how that cheer for the other team had sounded, wondered when sports might have slipped away from the bays and the old days at the YMCA where every match ended with a "Yeah" for the other team.

Cheering on his teammate, a Tech swimmer backs against the diving platform as one of the relay changes.

The final "Yeah" for the other team, one of the great traditions of swimming, is given by the losing Jackets.

URING THE YEAR 1956, the South took

D

a giant step forward in the nuclear field. Following a directive of the Southern Governor's Conference held at Point Clear, Alabama, on October 20, 1955, a region-wide series of conferences was held to plot the course of Southern developments in the field of nuclear energy. The recommendations of this study 1 set forth specific ways in which the individual states and the South as a whole can move to use the atom in agriculture, industry, and medicine.

Governor Marvin Griffin gave his wholehearted support to these plans and moved quickly to bring Georgia to the front. The Georgia Nuclear Advisory Commission was appointed, following recommendations of the Work Conference on Nuclear Energy, and a grant of $300,000 was made available to Georgia Tech. This grant was for the construction of a radioisotopes laboratory and a student neutron physics laboratory.

The grant made it possible for Tech to begin its master's degree program in nuclear engineering and nuclear science during the current academic year. Governor Griffin also indicated his desire to make available about $2,500,000 to permit the construction of a high-flux research reactor at Georgia Tech. This truly splendid support of the nuclear program of education and research will permit Georgia Tech to move forward to a position of leadership in the nation as well as in the South.

As a result of staff work performed by the Southern Regional Education Board and its consultants for the Nuclear Energy Conferences, it is possible to see more clearly the particular problems that the South faces and the particular advantages that the South possesses in the nuclear field. The principal problem, not only in the South but in the nation as a whole, is the shortage of well-trained scientists and engineers. The shortage is clearly apparent at the bachelor's degree level, but at the master's and doctor's degree level the shortage is truly crucial.

The South's most serious bottleneck in putting the atom to work is its failure to produce enough scientists and engineers at the graduate level. This deficiency in well-trained Southern manpower is very serious indeed. The sixteen southern states participating in the nuclear energy conferences have almost exactly onethird of the nation's college-age population. These same states now produce about one-fourth of the bachelor's degrees in science and engineering. At the same time, however, these states produce only about 16 percent of the master's degrees and only about 12 percent of the doctor's degrees in science and engineering.

16

Tech Alumnu*

Looking at our state the picture is even more gloomy: Georgia ranked twelfth among the sixteen southern states in the productivity of scientific and engineering doctorates during the years 1954-55. Georgia produced 20 while North Carolina produced 88, Tennessee produced 45, and Florida produced 4 1 .

There is consequently a tremendous need for expansion of graduate facilities on a broad front including agriculture, engineering, the physical sciences and the life sciences. The nuclear program at Georgia Tech can be expected to give support to such an expansion in the physical sciences and engineering but Georgia and the South have a long way to go to reach equality with other regions of the nation. The dividends from broad and vigorous graduate programs once achieved can be enormous. Such programs would not only produce the manpower needed for Southern leadership but would produce new techniques and processes for agriculture, industry, and medicine.

As potential markets for nuclear power, the southern states differ widely.

A survey prepared by Dr. Karl Mayer of the Stanford Research Institute for the Southern Regional Education Board shows that nuclear power generated at lower and lower costs will produce a major impact in the states of Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and Virginia, while such states as Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky and Texas will receive a comparatively minor impact in the years ahead. Figure 1 shows the results of this impact analysis. A "major" impact is defined as a potential loss of more than 15 per cent of the conventional power market to nuclear power that could be generated at 6 mills per killowatt hour. An '"intermediate" impact is a loss of 5-15 percent of the market to 6-mill nuclear

power and a "minor" impact is a loss of 0-5 percent of the market to nuclear power. Georgia Tech's nuclear program can be of considerable assistance in providing manpower, knowledge, and specialized research facilities for Georgia and the other states in which nuclear power is expected to produce a major impact.

A recent survey by the Southern Regional Education Board shows that the southern universities are currently lagging behind those of other regions in providing nuclear research facilities. In spite of this deficiency, southern universities have been able to make some significant progress with the assistance of the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies. This organization has permitted faculty members to work at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory during summers and has provided for members of that Laboratory to visit various institutions for lectures and discussions. Georgia Tech has made extensive use of these arrangements and has received great benefit from them.

as medicine, agriculture, and the life sciences. This will, it is hoped, insure the value of this facility to the entire State and to the South.

But, in the long run, the research facilities at Oak Ridge can never take the place of facilities on the campus. Additional research facilities must be obtained to serve the educational and research needs of the individual institutions in the southern states. The efficient build-up of such facilities will require cooperation between institutions within each state and between the various southern states. Such cooperation will insure that expensive facilities are fully used and not needlessly duplicated. Georgia Tech recognizes this need for cooperation and the exchange of ideas between institutions. As planning for Tech's research reactor proceeds, a strong effort is being made to include features which will make this facility able to serve other fields such

"We are making great progress all over the South, but we should not let our gains lull us into any false sense of security. We are not out of the woods, by any means.

Industry-wise, the South is still an infant.

Despite our recent industrial growth, the South actually may be in serious danger of being left further behind by the rest of the nation.

"Now, however, with the advent of the atomic age, the whole picture of industrial life can be and probably will be changed.

Atomic power, for heat or for generating electric current, can wipe out the geographic handicaps of lack of water power, coal or oil.

"Left to chance, however, nuclear energy for industrial use will gravitate to the existing industrial areas, mostly in the North.

The South, already short of industry, is likely to be left still further behind unless we do something about it.

"Nuclear energy can mean the economic emancipation of the South. But the South must act as a whole, and in my judgment, the moment of decision is now.

"The challenge to the South is to make industry follow the atom, and not stand idle and permit the atom to follow existing industry. If we are to bring the atom to the South, it will take immediate joint planning and action among the Southern states on a regional basis, and on a bold and progressive scale beyond anything yet attempted."

With Coach Dodd facing the herculean problem of replacing 16 of his first 22 from the 1956 squad, this spring practice should be the most interesting one in recent years.

The T-Game again will be sponsored by the Greater Atlanta Georgia Tech Club with part of the proceeds going to nonathletic scholarships for Atlanta - area boys. At present, 11 of these scholarship winners are attending Tech.

Advance tickets ($1.00 each) for the game may be ordered from the Alumni Association after April 1. All tickets are in the West Stands and there are no reserved seats.

Ticket Applications N e x t Month

Football ticket applications will be mailed from the alumni office by April 15. If you don't receive your application by April 25, get in touch with the Alumni Association, and they will send you one.

Double Header Slated for Sept. 21

The success of the opening day-night double header in 1955 has prompted Tech and Georgia officials to schedule a similar one to open the 1957 football season. Tech will meet Kentucky at 2:00 P.M. in the afternoon tilt and Georgia will go against Texas at 8:00 P.M. in the night game. Tech will have nothing to do with handling tickets or arrangements for the night game. All orders for the Texas-Georgia game should go to Howell Hollis, Business Manager, Georgia Athletic Department, Athens, Georgia.
