THE ANNUAL drive for funds for the support of foreign students studying at Georgia Tech was launched at half-time of the Georgia Tech-Auburn football game on Saturday, October 19. Bringing in only $4,454, the drive was the least successful one since 1957. Each year the World Student Fund Committee of the Tech YMCA brings a number of foreign students to this country to study at Tech as guests of the student body. By providing an opportunity for outstanding foreign students to spend a year on the campus studying and getting a better understanding of the American people and their educational system, Tech students seek to aid the cause of world peace and international friendship.
This year seven students representing the countries of Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, and Iraq are at Tech under the auspices of the World Student Fund. These students live in the dormitories, eat at the fraternity houses, and take an active part in campus life. The World Student Fund was founded by a group of student veterans shortly after the close of World War II, and is unique among colleges and universities in this country. The program is run by a studentfaculty committee who are selected by their fellow students and faculty members. Most of the funds for financing this educational program are raised during the halftime of a Tech home football game. The drive on October 19 was conducted by about 300 members of the student body, who passed cups up and down the aisles of the stadium during the half-time activities. Noted lecturers speak on campus
DR. ROBERT F. LEGGET, world famous engineer and geologist, presented two lectures at Tech October 28-29 on the relationship of geology to soil engineering and to civil engineering construction. Well known as the author of Geology and Engineering, Dr. Legget was the first in the 1963-64 series of lecturers being brought to Tech by the Neely Visiting Professor Fund. The fund was established by Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Neely of Atlanta to sponsor outstanding scientists, engineers and educators on the campus. Dr. Legget is editor of the Engineering Geology Case History Series of the Geological Society of America. His October 28 lecture, "Geology and Soil Mechanics," was given at 2 p.m. in the Wilby Room of Tech's Price Gilbert Library. The second lecture was given at 9:30 a.m., October 29, in the Wilby Room and was devoted to "Geology and Foundation Engineering." Dr. F. E. Zeydel, senior staff scientist, Lockheed Propulsion Company, Redlands, California, gave a lecture at Tech on October 29. The second Neely Lecturer to appear TECH ALUMNUS
