A MAN is a strange and complex animal given to alternating fits of joy and despair — capable of love and hate without rhyme or reason. A man can write a poem, paint a picture, love a woman, and still kill a president. And each of us is different in our approach to life and in our reaction to the everyday things that make up the sum of our own existence. Here in the traditional season of love and peace and joy marred this year by a national disgrace are the seemingly insignificant things that moved one man during 12 months: A blond wisp of a girl trotting at the back of a procession, singing out-of-tune and marching out-of-step in the church that we attend all too seldom. And the formalized, old-as-Christianity bow of the rows of heads as the cross moves by during the same ceremony.

Another child — nervous but determined — entering the competitive world seriously for the first time, standing on the board for her initial dive for points in a meet. And the beauty of that dive and her smile as she came to the surface.

A grade-school commencement in a hot June evening, the out-of-tune piano playing "Pomp and Circumstance" as another girl moves into that confused, hectic state known as "the teens."

A high school football game in early fall as another daughter becomes one of those peculiar, whirling, American phenomena called cheerleaders.

The pride we feel in the talent of a painting wife. It becomes even greater as we watch her in the kitchen after one of those uncommonly fierce days at the office.

The beauty, grace, and unbelievable courage of a Siamese cat and the way she takes over a part of you just as every woman close to you manages to. We can't imagine a Siamese being masculine but they tell us that there are such things. * * * A THE ABSENCE of old friends, recently departed and the reverent feeling you get for them when you return to the old haunts. New York was not the same without Hazel Wallace this year — even the theater had lost some of its charm.

And the press boxes held little of the atmosphere they did when Ed Danforth was around. Nor is morning coffee as fascinating without Bob Allen.

The feeling of shame we had on the day of the President's assassination. And the swell of pride in being an American as the magnificent and touching funeral ceremony unfolded. No media in the history of this country has ever given so much as television did during those dark four days in November. Imagine all of the country's newspapers giving up their advertising revenue for that period of time.

A WET LEAVES after the first rain of the fall and glistening buds in the dew-filled mornings of spring.

Tarpon leaping through the early morning air, plug in mouth but not for long. Even when you miss most of them there is no thrill to equal that battle.

An afternoon summer thunderstorm in Florida.

The blessed lights of Atlanta as seen from a jet on a return trip after a couple of days away from the family.

The piercing, factory-like sound of the class-changing whistle and the quiet of the campus after it had been stolen.

Reading Housman on a winter night or reading Wolfe or Hemingway or Catton on any night.

Steak and baked potatoes with sour cream and chives, and the smell of bacon cooking before you are fully awake.

The looks on the faces of the young during the first snow of a season.

Children frolicing on the lawn that stretches out from the base of the steps leading from the Ad building. The afternoon play halts suddenly when the ROTC guard comes for the flag and for one minute all is silent and serious, then the guard turns and starts back up the walkway and the squeals begin anew.

The strength and beauty a close associate gives us each working day of the year simply by bearing a burden forced on her by fate — a burden that no one else we know could carry quite so magnificently.

The look of Atlanta magazine. It makes us proud we happen to be in the same profession as Jim Townsend.

THE TECH STUDENTS below are engaged in the Institute's only bowl appearance of 1963. They are Eduardo Mitrani, a junior I.E. from Miami; Mitch Barlow, a junior physics major from Richmond, Virginia; Paul Bandow, a junior math major from Chamblee, Georgia; and John Barwick, a sophomore math major from Mountain Home, Tennessee. Along with their coach, Dr. James D. Young

of the English Department, and alternate Ed Patterson, they journeyed to New York for the G.E. College Bowl on NBC-TV, December 1. There they lost a close match to Ripon College, 115-130 after leading from the beginning of the competition to the final 30 seconds. High scorer for the Tech team that did much better than expected against three-time winner Ripon was Mitrani with 55 points.

A whistle is missing and there is a void in the Tech Campus Text by G . Leverett

and G .

Cauthen

HHIiiisssss-urgh" That was the unlikely sound emanating from the whistleless steam pipe atop the power plant at 7:55 a.m. on October 31.

The whistle had been stolen during the night, obstensibly by a group of seven Tech students who tried to borrow some of the glory of the '62: Jacket line of scrimmage by calling themselves the "Magnificent Seven."

An immediate investigation was ordered by the Campus Security Office, involving their full complement of forces dedicated to law, order, and the preservation of timely whistles.

They found nothing. And the situation remained static until the November 8th Technique published a story on the front page outlining the story of the theft.

The following Monday, the Atlanta Constitution picked

the story up and ran it on the front page. The Journal caught unawares, ran a story Monday afternoon (inside the paper).

Heads swelling with pride at the sudden publicity, the "Magnificent Seven" sent a messenger to the Constitution with pictures of the stolen whistle and their version of the theft.

The picture that was used showed the whistle with a cigarette dangling from its aperture, glasses, and a shine never seen on the roof of the power plant.

The Associated Press wire service sent the story out, and an-as-yet-undetermined number of papers ran the story all across the nation. The Baltimore Sun and the Washington Post among others carried the story, but the total coverage will never be known.

But while the newspapers were waging circulation battles back and forth, the "Director of Whistle Replacement," or whoever is responsible for such things, began to experiment with various new whistles.

Never before on the Tech campus has such an assortment of groans, shrieks, hisses, rumbles, cries, shrills, and wheoos been heard.

Students wandered about strangely, expectantly at five minutes before every hour, and when the whisde screeched, or whatever that particular whistle did, they would look at each other and shake their heads, wondering what the school was coming to.

The most hated whistles were the effete ones which sadly lacked the mellow baritone frequencies of the old whistle.

From all over the city and state came offers of help.

Whistles were offered on every hand, ranging from the Atlanta Water Works' offer of a loan to a $1,000 gift from L. W. "Chip" Roberts to buy a new one. "Been oversleeping in the mornings, since the whistle disappeared," explained Chip. "That whistle was the best alarm clock I ever had."

An unidentified would-be contributor was all set to give Tech his old cotton gin whistle, but when he tried to find it, it had been stolen too.

Strange things were happening.

Back on campus, Tech's stolid routine was being interrupted.

Classes were running overtime, people started carrying watches, there was a floating pool about the performance of each new whisde. Everybody got into the act.

The Physical Plant people tried out four whistles before making their final selection. An old steamboat whistle was the favorite, but it was edged out at the finish by a railroad whistle that Chip Robert dug up somewhere. Somehow Tech didn't quite fit into a nautical motif.

By now Techmen have adjusted to the tone and duration of the new whistle's blast. It has become a part of campus life. As the memory of the old whistle and the great whistle theft fade into the oblivion of memories, Techmen speculate about the future of timekeeping on North Avenue.

What's next, a steam caliope?

TECH ALUMNUS

A YEAR in which everyone except the students were taking a long, hard look at Georgia Tech, one of the most significant reports emerged from Arthur D. Little, Inc. as a result of a request by the Georgia Tech National Alumni Association. This study and the resulting report, "Georgia Tech: Impetus to Economic Growth," was supported by a special grant to the Association by a leading Georgia concern that prefers to remain anonymous.

The Alumni Association specifically asked Arthur D. Little, Inc. to determine in what ways the Georgia Institute of Technology might give additional impetus to the growth of the economy of Georgia and the Southeast. The company was asked to recommend programs or projects which would warrant support by the alumni and enable Tech to apply its resources to the service of Georgia's business, industry, and communities. At the same time, the alumni leaders stipulated that the report recommend nothing that might detract from Tech's role as an educational institution.

The study was undertaken with the approval of President Harrison, but the report was written for the alumni, "to assist them in more effectively buttressing Tech's manifold contributions to the community.

Alvin Ferst, '43, headed the alumni committee and was the liaison man with Arthur D. Little, Inc. during the preparation of the report which is summarized by the authors in the following pages:

I

N

A SUMMARY THE ARTHUR D. LITTLE REPOR

DECEMBER 1963

APPROACH APPROACH has been twofold. First, we conducted an intensive interview program among the members of the administration, faculty, and research stall's at Tech to gain as thorough an understanding as possible of the Institute's over-all direction and goals and, specifically, to explore activities which provide direct assistance to Georgia's business and industry. We aimed our efforts toward determining the effectiveness of these Tech services in meeting the needs of the local economy and toward placing these services in the context of the Institute's over-all educational programs.

After gaining an understanding of Tech's resources, we explored the demand for the services which the Institute has to offer. To this end, we interviewed leaders in industrial development, business, and industry, with particular attention to individuals who conduct or "buy" research and who manage technically based industries. Our objective here was to determine how closely Tech's services are attuned to the needs of Georgia's growing economy.

OUR

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS In accordance with our terms of reference, we have viewed our study of Tech as being broad in appraising the Institute's total impact upon the community as well as specific in assessing its direct services to business and industry. By virtue of operating at these two levels, our thoughts about what might be done fall easily into two groups: those that call for action now or in the near future in order to enhance Tech's direct influence upon economic development, and those aimed at carrying Tech to greater heights in the long run. Because we wish to stress our conviction that Tech's quality as an educational institution is fundamental to the creation of an environment that will be inviting to technically based growth industries, we first take up the long-range issue.

The Long-Range Issue We have no doubt that Georgia Tech is capable of attaining national eminence as an institution dedicated to the advancement of science and technology, if the financial constraints under which it operates are alleviated. As a Statesupported institution, a significant portion of its budget is furnished by the annual appropriation of the Legislature, and the competing demands upon that body are outstripping the sources of State revenue. So long as Tech continues to be operated on a subsistence allowance, it will not be able to develop a strong graduate program, attract an outstanding faculty, or offer graduate students an opportunity to undertake more advanced research under faculty supervision.

It has been widely recognized that the concentration of research and development activities in a few metropolitan

areas of the country is due primarily to the existence, in those centers, of resources for education and basic research that are uniquely excellent. In order to move into that class, the administration of Georgia Tech has recognized the need to enlarge the scope of faculty-student research and to build up the graduate program. The rate at which this upgrading can be achieved depends, of course, upon the financial resources made available to the Institute. The President's motto that "quality is our constant goal" will be impossible to attain so long as faculty salaries remain inadequate, physical facilities and equipment arc not substantially expanded, and the administrative staff is not relieved from an intolerable burden.

Since by all indications State funds in support of Tech will increase only gradually, we believe that outside sources of finance must be urgently sought. We think that private support can be found if the alumni, in close cooperation with the administration, decide to undertake a major fundraising campaign in the community, the State, and the Nation. For such a campaign to be successful, lech must have a development plan. Such a document, which would give concrete form to the Institute's long-range goal of achieving excellence, is not now in existence. Tech lacks an institutional long-range planning staff to translate the Institute's objectives and the findings of the recent Self-Study into a detailed, time-phased master plan for development. This planning process would not only offer a means for achieving greater administrative discipline, but would also provide the wherewithal for an effective fund-raising campaign.

The master plan, which would be the result of the planning process, would constitute the essential tool for fund raising.

On the basis of these conclusions, we submit the following recommendations:

That the alumni, with the guidance of the President, lend vigorous support to the further development of Tech's graduate program. A specific project for them might he the solicitation of funds earmarked for distinguished professorships.

That the administration establish a permanent office of institutional planning within the office of the President, with an expert professional staff and an initial annual budget of $30,000440,000. The purpose of this office would be to coordinate current planning activities and to develop them into a comprehensive planning program. One of its early tasks would be to prepare materials for a major fund-raising campaign.

That the administration, with broad alumni support, undertake a fund-raising campaign on a nationwide scale to finance TECH ALUMNUS

the needs of the Institute as they are spelled out by the planning office; and that advice and assistance he sought from reputable organizations expert in the techniques of raising money.

Short-Range Issues Under this heading we present a range of suggestions for improving Tech's posture vis-a-vis the "outside" world. We believe that our recommendations can be effectuated with little delay and at relatively slight additional cost to the University System. Moreover, we are confident that the proposed actions will be understood in the spirit in which they are offered—to minimize controversy on the campus and to build a bridge of respect and understanding between the academic and the business community.

Services Other Than

Research

Our interview program leads us to believe that Tech's special obligations to the community are met effectively, and often witli distinction, through the Cooperative Division and the Engineering Extension Division. The recently completed Selj-Study accurately identifies problems and weaknesses in these programs, and we commend the conclusions of that valuable study to the attention of the alumni. In response to our specific directive, however, we would like to give our support to the following recommendations:

The cooperative program should be extended into appropriate fields not now covered. Increased administrative budgets to finance this expansion should be provided.

The present program of the Engineering Evening School should be revised so as to make it possible for a student to earn the bachelor's degree without transfer to the day program. Furthermore, the Regents should provide the financial support necessary to overcome the Evening School's reputation for low academic standards.

If the Department of Industrial Education continues to be administered by Tech, it should direct its efforts to the training and retaining of skilled workers for the growth industries.

Wherever possible, the Department of Short Courses and Conferences should be given greater flexibility to encourage local and national professional societies to hold meetings on the Tech campus.

We commend to this department the DECEMBER 1963

recommendations of the recent Atlanta CED Associates report that self-study and business clinic seminars for small business managers be established as the most inexpensive means of providing them with expert assistance.

The Services of the Engineering Experiment Station Tech's charter has created a dilemma by placing the educational mandate side by side with the directive to the Engineering Experiment Station (EES) to give practical assistance to the State's business, industry, and communities. Much of the internal friction stemming from this dual assignment of responsibility is the result of differing views regarding the type of research that is appropriate to an academic institution. For many years, while the academic departments conducted very little independent research, the EES provided the stimulus for research at Tech. With the growing recognition of the essential interrelationship between research and education, academic research has now begun to expand in volume and importance, and these new conditions require new methods of administration.

Successive directors have sought to develop the Station as much for its function as an adjunct to education as for its service to business. Thus, as the academic departments continue to strengthen their research effort, the EES will be freer to develop its contract research services for industry and government as well as its assistance to industrial development.

At the present time, however, there is a lack of effective demand within the Region for the contract research services offered by the EES. Major growth industries in the State tend to require management consulting rather than technical research. Hence, the Station's industrial contract research services are not likely to grow significantly unless clients from outside the Region are actively solicited. The EES has taken the lead in seeking contracts from federal agencies whose valuable fringe benefits accrue to the Institute as a whole.

All in all, we conclude that the EES is fulfilling its mandate while making an essential contribution to Tech's educational function. With small budgets and cramped facilities, its staff provides a wide range of services limited only by lack of effective local demand. The professional competence of this on-campus research center is unquestioned.

Georgia can be proud of the State's contribution to the solution of problems of national significance. While more can be done, of course, to assist local industries and to assess local resources, we are of the opinion that the people are receiving a good return on their investment and that the EES can rise to any research challenge offered by the State government or by private entrepreneurs.

The Industrial Development Division (IDD) of the EES

carries Tech's mandate to advance economic development into the State's many counties and communities. In so doing, it is frequently exposed to the body politic and is therefore a highly visible representative of the Institute. The 1DD is fulfilling its role with effectiveness and dedication and has brought a high degree of sophistication to the State's industrial development effort.

In practice, the 1DD operates as a semi-autonomous agency within Tech, a status accentuated by its physical separation from the EES. Because of its independence of action and the frequently political environment within which it operates, the 1DD has drawn criticism, particularly when its industrial development research has not been clearly divorced from the promotional uses for which the work was commissioned.

In seeking a modus operandi which would reduce controversy within the Tech family while permitting the IDD to continue and expand its work, we have explored several alternative organizational forms which the IDD might take.

This examination has led us to conclude that any separation from Tech would reduce the authority of the IDD's reports and would curtail Tech's good relations with many communities and groups throughout the State.

Our recommendations regarding the EES and, within it, the IDD can be summarized as follows:

A sustained effort should be made to increase the volume of research sponsored by federal agencies; simultaneously, efforts to sell commercial contract services should be extended to the larger market, beyond the region.

A serious attempt should be made to bridge the gap between the academic and the business community, so as to lead to a broader and more sympathetic understanding of the contribution which each can make to the resolution of mutually interesting problems and to the growth of the economy. To this end, a joint public education program could be prepared by the Engineering Experiment Station, the School of Industrial Management, and the Department of Short Courses and Conferences.

The Engineering Experiment Station should adopt the program of research and development focused on the State's resources which has been outlined in a Preliminary "Blueprint" for Industrial Development in Georgia (April, J963). We believe that this research could most effectively be carried out within the Station as it is now constituted. At the same time, 10

we believe that the proposal to build new physical facilities in the suburbs (as suggested in the above-mentioned document) would amount to a wasteful duplication of services and facilities which the Station can now provide. We therefore urge that the so-called Industrial Development Research Center at an off-campus site be given no further consideration.

Space should be made available as soon as possible to permit the return of the Industrial Development Division to the campus. Concurrently, means should be found to encourage the faculty to cooperate more effectively with the division in conducting industrial development research.

In order to protect Tech's reputation for objectivity and cultivation of the scientific method, the Industrial Development Division should limit itself to projects that are consonant with Tech's posture as an educational institution, and should avoid activities which might be construed as being of a promotional nature.

A Model Industrial

Park

We have carefully examined a number of proposals calling for Tech's participation in an industrial park development. We have concluded that such participation would be a concrete demonstration of Tech's commitment to the growth of the community and the expansion of Georgia's business and industry. First, however, it is necessary to devise the appropriate vehicle which would permit the Institute to lend its prestige to a useful industrial real estate venture without compromising Tech's dignity and without diverting any funds whatsoever from its primary educational functions. None of the currently suggested devices for Tech's participation can fulfill these criteria. We agreed therefore to assist the alumni in determining the legal, administrative, and financial framework within which such a venture might be possible.

The concept of a model industrial park emerged from our search for a suitable organizational framework. In this context, the term "model" conveys a sense of uniqueness窶馬ot only because this form of real estate development would be without parallel in Georgia, but also because it suggests a level of organizational, land use, and architectural excellence heretofore unattained.

In terminology current in the field of industrial development, we are recommending an industrial research park. It is not TECH ALUMNUS

our intention that the facilities be confined to industrial research facilities alone. Detached industrial research is comparatively rare. We therefore recommend that manufacturing operations meeting certain criteria be permitted to participate.

The unifying element characterizing establishments in the Georgia Tech Industrial Park will be the compatibility of the research or industrial operation with the technology represented by a great technological institute. More specifically, we define the Georgia Tech Industrial Research Park as a site of approximately 500 acres suitable for research, pilot plant, or manufacturing operations that are oriented toward science or technology, and developed as a physical complex conforming to very high, specifically prescribed, architectural and land use standards.

Recognizing that Georgia Tech is an educational institution which must not lose sight of its primary objective to attain a position of academic excellence, we insist that its participation in the development of a research park facility take place under regulated circumstances. Georgia Tech as an institution must not be put in the industrial real estate business; its association with the development must not distract faculty and administration from their primary duties within the Institute; and promotion of the development must not divert funds that would ordinarily flow to and be available for the use of the Institute. These factors therefore constitute the criteria whereby Georgia Tech's participation in the development of an industrial research park has been evaluated.

On the basis of this evaluation, we recommend that a tax-free foundation be formed with a charter and by-laws that require the appointment of a board of trustees to number not more than eight persons, with a clear majority and control flowing to the administration, faculty, and other interested elements of the Georgia Tech community.

The function of the Foundation will be to set policy, control the admission of enterprises to the industrial research park, and generally insure that the name of Georgia Tech is used in a creditable manner. The Foundation will be able to raise funds and to accept contributions of other assets such as real estate in the manner of any other tax-free foundation. The I'oundation will not actively participate in the development and sale of real estate. The physical deDECEMBER 1963

velopment function may be contracted to a qualified industrial real estate developer if the Foundation's financial interest in the venture is to be limited to the receipt of a fixed fee. In the event that the Foundation wishes to" receive funds representing a share in the profits accruing from the development, rather than a fixed fee, tax considerations will require the establishment of an intermediary share capital corporation. Both the Foundation and the developer chosen will own stock in such a corporation. The Foundation's participation must be represented by a position of voting control. The intermediary corporation will be a taxable entity, but the profits ot the corporation payable to the Foundation will be received by a tax-exempt entity. We consider it imperative that the tax freedom of the Foundation be preserved, to encourage prospective donors to make contributions to the Foundation. We assume that the Foundation will be interested in sharing in the profits of this development to the ultimate advantage of Georgia Tech itself.

It will be the function of the developer, whether his participation is by contract or through stock in the intermediary corporation, to preside over the development of the property and its day-to-day management. His freedom to act will be defined by policies laid down by the Foundation directly or through its majority position in the intermediary corporation. While the developer should be allowed to participate as a member of the Board of the Foundation, he will be guided by restrictive covenants and approval mechanisms laid down by the Board. Activities will be admitted to the Park only if they are acceptable to the Board, if they bear a reasonable relationship to scientific research or technology, and if they can demonstrate their ability to abide by land use restrictions to be promulgated by the Foundation.

The function of the developer is the key to the success of this organization. The Industrial Research Park envisaged here is a type of industrial development not now common to the Atlanta area. While industrial research facilities working in liaison with educational institutions have been established in other parts of the country, few experienced developers have participated directly in such projects. The chosen developer must have a keen appreciation of the needs of both industry and university so as to avoid situations in which one might interfere with the activities of the other.

In conclusion, we think Georgia Tech could participate in the organization that we have outlined. We are confident that the model industrial park, together with the operational mechanism suggested in this report, will enable Georgia Tech to encourage the growth of industry in a manner compatible with the best interest of the Institute.

Homecoming: 1963

MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE GEORGIA TECH NATIONAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

GEORGE GRIFFIN GREETS C. J. KAMPER, '03 BEFORE MEETING

_L RESIDENT Ira H. Hardin welcomed those present to the Annual Meeting.

1. John Hayes, president of the Student Council, introduced the Homecoming Queen, Nancy Bramlett and her two attendants, Midge Ivie and Anne Crews.

He then introduced Mrs. Homecoming, Mrs. Judy Ferguson, and her two attendants, Mrs. Marty Russo and Mrs. Mary Stewart.

K •

A special greeting from a gracious new honorary member o u W I L L ALL please consider yourselves color-blind for I am dressed in White and Gold which I have worn since the turn of the century. Come to think of it, except for rare intervals, I have never lived more than a few blocks from the shining tower on the hill—the emblem of mind and spirit. I pray that you never let it be razed.

I have watched Georgia Tech football games sitting on the mud bank where the East stands now rise, and in years gone by it was the custom of the Tech boy to take his girl (such was the vernacular in those days) to the campus on the day before graduation exercises—where clad in a long white skirt, many stiff petticoats, shirt waist with high collar, and white sailor hat with flowing veil, she was escorted through the foundry and machine shops, pretending to understand what it was all about.

Y

I must tell you a tale illustrative of Bob Wallace's contention in his book that Ramblin' Reck has probably popularized Tech more than any other one thing. (Incidentally, Dress Her in White and Gold is a magnificent book, vivid, graphic, dramatic, and withal factual, a book which DECEMBER 1963

you must not only read but own.) Many years ago Frank and I were dancing on the Waldorf Roof, having attended dancing classes of Arthur Murray when he was at Tech, and as we danced by the bandstand where Rudy Vallee was conducting, I whispered "Ramblin' Reck." A t the end of the musical, phrase, the band struck on "Ramblin' R e c k " and pandemonium broke loose on the Waldorf Roof, people from all over the country were shouting, singing, stomping, and clapping.

But enough of the reminiscences of an old lady. Tech is a bouncing baby girl, glad, radiant, eager, anticipatory, holding out her arms for us to help in her growth and development, we shall not fail her.

As for this honor with which you have glorified me in making me an Honorary Alumnus of the Georgia Institute of Technology, I have no felicitous phrases to express my emotion, my gratitude, my pride, my deep, deep humility.

I have done nothing to merit it save to have faith in and to love Georgia Tech these many years, but by your act you have made me feel I have not lived in vain, and I thank you.

Jackets Close Out 7-3 Season With A 14-3 W i n Over 3eorgia HE 1963 edition of the Jackets closed out a surprisingly successful 7-3 season with a 14-3 win over Georgia following a loss to Alabama by a 11-27 score. After the Georgia victory, the team dismissed any idea of going to a bowl when Coach Dodd told them that they would have to wait a week until they received an invitation, if they got one at all. The seniors had been to two straight bowls and wanted the holidays with their families and the long season brought on by the early start against Florida for TV purposes had had its effect on the squad's reaction to postseason play this year.

The man who said football was a game of inches must have been watching a game just like the Tech-Alabama match. During the course of the afternoon, Tech missed a touchdown by 12 inches and the most important first down of the game by six and made three first downs by the same margin. That most important first-down try occurred midway through the final period at the Alabama 25 on a drive that had all the earmarks of eventually tieing the game or putting the Jackets ahead. As it turned out, Tech missed the try and the Tide took over and drove 75 yards on the now exhausted Jackets for a 21-11 lead. In so doing the Tide took six minutes off the clock and put Tech in a gambling position which eventually led to a pass interception and another Tide score with four seconds left.

The Jackets exhausted themselves on offense as they came back from a disastrous first half in which they trailed 3-14 and took over the game for 22 minutes, controlling the ball on 33 plays to Alabama's nine (which included three punts). Tech never punted during the entire second half. As Bobby Dodd said after the game, "I was proud of our football team for the excellent comeback it made in the second half. We made three as fine offensive drives as I can remember against a good football team." And Bear Bryant added, "There's no doubt that this was our finest game and by a long, long ways."

Tech's first drive of that 22 minutes began at the Tech 47 after the Jackets had forced a punt on the Alabama series following the second-half kickoff. The catalyst in the action was a halfback from Florence, Alabama named Terry Haddock who made his first appearance of the game on the second play of the game. The little dash man seemed to set the Jackets on fire and they promptly drove to the Tide's one where Ray Mendheim failed on a fourth-down try.

Gerry Bussell and Mendheim carried the ball on all but four of the 17-play drive during which Billy Lothridge tried only two passes, neither of which was successful.

Lothridge came right back throwing following the Alabama punt from the end zone and this time he was hitting.

During the second-half comeback against Alabama, Billy Lothridge rolls out (left) for a big gain, while (above) Ray Mendheim scores Tech's first points against Georgia.

for nine from the Alabama 46, kept himself for the first down, hit Auer for 23 and then Martin for 11, and closed out the series with a sneak of his own for the score.

Lothridge then threw to Joe Auer for the two-pointer, Tech's first of the year. With 2:20 on the third-quarter clock, the Jackets had narrowed the gap to 11-14 and looked as if they had a chance to pull it out. They got another chance when the defense again held the Tide and forced a punt on the series following the kickoff. This time Tech started at its own 45 and drove to the Alabama 25 before the fatal first-down try.

The Tech-Georgia game was marred by fumbles and miscues by both teams due to the muddy condition of the field and the numbing cold. The rain that struck Atlanta with such fury on Thursday during the freshman game (also won by Tech 14-3) had left the city by Friday, but the turf never had a chance to recover from the Scottish Rite battle. Tech fumbled five times and lost four of them to Georgia while the Bulldogs were almost as generous with four fumbles and three Tech recoveries. In addition, both sides had a pass interception and were victimized by some rather bizarre happenings such as the time a Tech halfback stood in the end zone and watched a Georgia field goal attempt fall dead at the Tech one. And, as the case usually is in this game, both teams were tackling fiercely.

DECEMBER 1963

In his final game at Tech, Billy Lothridge was once again the big difference between two teams. Lothridge called his best game of the season against the Bulldogs. Gambling in his own territory with a passing game after getting Tech a lead or sparkling a drive into Georgia real estate with a series of draw plays and rollouts, the Jacket quarterback was always the master of the situation. The Tech line play, especially on offense, appeared better than that of the Georgia team, and the Bulldogs were obviously outmanned by the Tech crew of running backs, a fact pointed out by both coaches after the game. Only a series of misfortunate fumbles and the determination of the Georgia team kept this one from going the way of last year's game.

The Jackets got out in front in the first quarter following a Rakestraw fumble on his own 23. Ray Mendheim recovered the fumble and then proceeded to pick up nine of the remaining yards on two rushes, the last one for the score. Lothridge added the point and with 1:42 in the first remaining, it was 7-0. Late in the second period, Lothridge returned Rakestraw's gesture by fumbling himself at the Tech 32 but the Tech defense called a halt to the Bulldogs' bid for a tie at the 10 and McCullough came in to kick a 27-yard field goal for the only Georgia points of the afternoon. Early in the second half a bad pitchout gave Georgia the ball on the Tech 37, but as the Bulldogs reached the 11, Armbrester fumbled and Joe Chapman recovered for the Jackets. This fumble was the result of an unusually tough tackle by linebacker Dave Simmons who was far and away the best defensive football player on the field. Lothridge kicked a 52 yarder at this point to put the Jackets out of danger for a spell, and the next time Tech got the ball at its own 24, the Jackets drove 73 yards to the Georgia 3 before Joe Auer fumbled and McFalls recovered for Georgia.

To take advantage of the wind for the last time, Georgia punted on second down from the three and Tech had it at the Georgia 47 as the quarter ended. This time Lothridge took them in with the best scoring drive of the day. In 11 plays, three of them passes, Lothridge and his mates scored.

The scoring play was a third-down Lothridge—to Frank Sexton pass that completely fooled the Georgia secondary.

With 10:16 on the clock, Lothridge put his name in the Tech record books for the final time with this touchdown pass which made his career record 18 and broke Darrell Crawford's old mark of 17 set in 1949, 1950, and 1951.

Georgia got to the Tech 33 late in the game via an interception of a Lothridge pass at the Tech 2 and two long pass completions by Rakestraw plus a 15-yard penalty, but Rakestraw fumbled and Brad Yates claimed it at the Tech 30.

The Jackets had penetrated Georgia territory a few plays before as a result of an interception by John Battle and a quick-thinking pitchout from the husky guard to Auer who took the ball down to the Georgia 17 from the 32. Following Yates' recovery, Tech drove out the clock, picking up four first downs on the way to the Georgia 5 where the game ended.

J

OHN "WHACK" HYDER, a rare basket-

ball coach given to bursts of optimism, sums up the 1963-64 basketball prospects at Tech with these words, "If Caldwell and Tumlin can come through and do the job for us, we should have a fairly strong team." Tumlin was ineligible for the first two games of the season.

Caldwell, of course, is "Big Jim," the sensational sophomore center of last year's 21-5 team that finished second in the conference. He comes back for this season with an added inch of height which puts him at 6' 10" and a corrected foot problem that was operated upon last spring. Tumlin is the 6' 7" forward who was held out last year because of injuries after enjoying a so-so sophomore year.

The biggest problems with Tumlin will be academic and physical. If he can lick them, there is little doubt about the strength of this team.

Tech opened the season on December 2 against Georgia at the Alexander Memorial Coliseum in a game transferred from the new Georgia Coliseum because the Bulldogs' new court was not ready on time.

Tech won this one, 73-64, in a squeaker. Then followed it with a shocking, 92-69, trouncing of a good Furman team.

The Jackets then went on a disastrous road trip to Texas where they lost an overtime match to Rice, 84-79, and were whipped by SMU, 97-75, in an upset of gigantic proportions.

16

The Jackets will continue to use the 1-3-1 offense that proved so successful for them last season. In practice, Craddock has looked even better than last season and Scharf, in-and-out performer in 1962-63, has licked his personal problems and appears ready for a banner season. Caldwell continues to improve and may be the best big man in the entire South by the time the season gets underway. If Tumlin comes through, this team could be as good or better than the Jackets of last season, which is quite a large order.

AA pledges $250,000 to Activities Building

IN a precedent-setting move, the Board of Trustees of Tech's Athletic Association pledged a sum of $250,000 toward the construction of the Student Activities Building. The money will be paid upon the letting of the contract, and there are chances for further help once the project is underway.

President Edwin Harrison, also Chairman of the Athletic Board, was the instigating force behind the move and explained the urgent need for the Activities Building.

The Athletic Association has on several occasions aided the school financially, but most of these projects have been associated with athletics in some way. Projects such as the Alexander Memorial Coliseum, the Tenth Street tennis courts, and the operation of the PT program have greatly aided the school in its operation, but have not generally been credited to the AA. Athletic Business Manager Bob Eskew stated that the pledge was in keeping with the Association's role of "operating for the benefit of the school" and that he was personally glad to be a part of such a wonderful project.

The consensus of most people intimately associated with the planning and development of the Activities Building is that this pledge virtually assures the Building's construction, possibly beginning in the Spring if current schedules prove feasible.

Tech unit aids Georgia businesses

CHARLESTON,

A TOTAL of 76 companies took advantage of Georgia Tech's program of technical assistance to business and industry during the six months from March to September, a progress report just released by Tech's Industrial Development Division ( I D D ) reveals.

I D D currently is aiding Georgia businesses at the rate of three companies per week.

Projects described in the report include such diverse subjects as production control problems, short-term market studies, farm equipment design, wage surveys, plan layouts, and the planning of a municipal zoo.

As one of its major projects in recent months, IDD's technical assistance staff has provided market, engineering, and financial advisory services necessary for the planning and organization of a new manufacturing company. Out-of-state financial interests will play a major role. Plans are for a new plant to be built and put into operation by the end of 1963, with an initial employment of approximately 100 people. Final details will be ready for public release soon.

The present program was launched two and one-half years ago when a study of "Problems and Needs of Small Manufacturers," sponsored by the Small Business Administration, showed a serious need in Georgia for a broad program of manage-

Tech alumnus cited by President Johnson in special ceremony A 1950 Industrial Engineering graduate of Tech, Rufus Youngblood, has received the Treasury Department's Exceptional Service Award for his part in shielding President Johnson during the assassination of President Kennedy on November 22. Youngblood, who has been with the Secret Service ever since his graduation, was cited by Johnson personally as he called him, "one of the most noble and able public servants I have ever known." Johnson spoke at the December 4 ceremony before Secretary of the Treasury Douglas Dillon read the citation to Youngblood as the agent's wife and four children watched proudly.

The citation said the award was in recognition of Youngblood's "outstanding courage and voluntary risk of personal safety in protecting the vice president of the United States" at the time of Kennedy's assassination.

In a letter of November 23, President Johnson in one of his first official acts as head of the nation, wrote the following to Secret Service Chief Rowley: "Dear Chief Rowley: "I want to call your attention to the valiant manner in which Rufus W. Youngblood, who was in charge of my protection on November 22, 1963, responded to the tragic circumstances that occurred in Dallas, Texas.

"Upon hearing the first shot, Mr. Youngblood instantly vaulted across the front seat of my car, pushed me to the floor and shielded my body with his own body, ready to sacrifice his life for mine.

"Mr. Youngblood deserves the highest commendation your service can offer for his tremendously courageous action. " s m c e r e i v "(Signed) Lyndon B. Johnson."

TECH ALUMNUS

1F011MANCE EVALCAIOR This test engineer is one of a team at GM's Michigan Proving Ground which has developed a new Performance-Economy Console, the latest in a long line of specially-designed test equipment. I t registers car performance precisely—pickup, hill climbing, passing—under all sorts of driving situations. Fast, slow or in-between speeds. Long runs or short hops. City or country roads. Rainy, snowy or sunny days. Sizzling heat or extreme cold. Fuel consumption is also measured down to the nearest cubic centimeter. All year long, the exacting tests go on and on. In fact, a total of more than 50,000 test miles are logged every day at the three G M Proving Ground facilities—in Michigan, at Pikes Peak and in Arizona.

B u t testing doesn't begin or end on the track. I n the G M Proving Grounds and other G M laboratories are ultra-modern instruments, machines and computers—specifically built to test for noise, vibration, stress and durability in engine, body and chassis. In fact, practically everything t h a t goes into a G M car is thoroughly tested and retested. These constant laboratory checks make the data collected on the road more meaningful, more useful every year.

The goal can be wrapped u p in one word—quality!

The test engineer wears three, sometimes even four hats. He plans tests, performs tests, evaluates test results—and even designs the equipment used for testing. He makes a big contribution to your comfort, safety and pleasure.

Product quality is paramount at General Motors. T h a t ' s why the test engineer is a key man on the G M team.
