beautiful English books and American silver dollars on festive occasions. But he never seems to remember their names.

He has the physical stamina of two men half his age and the moral fiber of 100 men of any age. But he drives an automobile like a man whose senses have long departed him.

He loves life and people and no one can convince him to ever believe the worst about any of his friends or, for that matter, about anybody. This love is honest and far from maudlin. But he covers it up by the gruffness of his approach to everyone around him. The louder his roar, the more you are getting to him.

OCCUPYING the cover and nine additional pages of this issue are pictures and copy concerning Dean George C. Griffin, who in addition to being the greatest of the sackbrains has now become the most feted man in Tech's history.

If you are interested in what happened to George during the month of May and what the important Tech people had to say about him, don't stop here, just move on to page six of this issue. This column contains merely the thoughts that flitted through the mind of one man during that moving evening of May 16.

This is our George Griffin.

WE SUPPOSE there are those who love the cliche enough to say, "There's a George Griffin on every campus." But we have no idea of swallowing this "Goodby Mr. Chips" malarky which indicates that there might be another George Griffin anywhere on earth. The others have to be charlatans . . . shallow imitations of the real thing . . . shadowy forms of a man so deep, so complex that even people who have known him for half a century still have no idea of what he will do or say in the next minute.

Of course, he has his trademarks just as all of us do. He greets everybody, no matter what their station in life with the same growling, "What d'ye want, boy?" And each summer he shows up with a straw skimmer that brings back the memories of Saturday double-headers in a small Pennsylvania town when our world was young. But the greatest of his consistencies is his everlasting inconsistency.

GEORGE is no saint and to make him one is a mistake in our book. He is a man — the noblest one we have known — and like all great men he is temperamental and at times most difficult. He is prone to chew out his favorites before he hears what they have to say and often about something in which they were never involved. But a chewing-out

by George amounts to considerably more than a hymn of praise from any one else we know.

He is kind and considerate to children of all ages and gives his godchildren

LIKE ALL MEN, George has his share of prejudices and he is most outspoken about them. But if it comes to the point where he has to shunt them aside for the betterment of Tech or the community, he does it with the quickness of a chameleon changing color. We have seen him do it more than once.

We have also seen him defeated in more than one campus battle and he takes his defeats hard. But he never carries any antagonism toward the person who whipped him. He suffers his defeats like Coach Alex once did — in complete silence — with maybe an added touch or two of grumbling to himself.

HIS APPROACH to

administration

is

old-fashioned and personal. He dislikes machines almost as much as we do. But he is gifted with an extraordinary visionary sense. And when he crystallizes an idea in that mind of his, George will fight any one to see it through to either complete victory or utter defeat.

Nothing reflects this facet of his personality better than the beginning of the Tech central placement system, second of its type in the country and now considered one of the best in operation.

One spring day in the early thirties, George was wandering down the hall of the Administration Building when he happened to run into a representative of the Firestone Rubber Company who wore the expression that George refers to as "looking like an old sour." The man wanted to hire some Tech graduates but had no idea of where to go to interTECH ALUMNUS

view them. George sent him over to the Chemistry Department and the man finally hired a couple of seniors.

The incident started George's creative juices flowing. "What Tech needs," he told himself, "is a central office where companies can come and talk to the seniors." Out of his own pocket, George opened a placement office. He did it on the sly without bothering to tell President Brittain or any other members of the administration. With the help of the WPA, George hired a part-time secretary for the operation for a spell until the administration finally got wind of the deal. It seems that George had hired this girl to work on a history of Tech athletics (which the president's office later lost) and during lulls in the writing, George put the girl to work on the placement correspondence.

"This untimely discovery led to a knockdown, drag-out battle with the administration," recalls George. "And the president threatened to kill the whole operation. However, the late Dr. King of Mechanical Engineering and the late Dr. Daniel of Chemistry jumped in on my side and finally convinced President Brittain that this was a project that Tech had to support out of the regular budget.

And in those days there sure wasn't much budget, so you can imagine what a fine pair of convincers those two gentlemen were." * * * A ANOTHER typical George Griffin promotion was the Emergency Loan Fund.

It had its start also in the thirties when a disreputable student dropped into George's office and pleaded, "Mr. Griffin, I just have to have some help. Everything I own is on my back."

George sent the student downtown to John Jarrell's store, and Mr. Jarrell at George's request outfitted the boy with a complete suit of clothes from the skin out. When the boy graduated he was so grateful that he sent $25 to George to begin a John Jarrell Loan Fund for other students in temporary need of funds.

George then went to Dr. Brittain and told him Tech needed more funds for emergencies. This time the president agreed with George and the Emergency Loan Fund — still in operation — was opened for business.

A GEORGE is still at it. He has a new

office in the Knowles Building and from it he will run a special employment agency for Tech alumni over the age of 40. And again he'll be running it just as he did the first Tech placement system— out of his own pocket. Although we suspect he will have much more help this time.

Assignment: Quality Control. He's a very special engineer, at General Motors—a key man in a corporation which regards product dependability as a prime responsibility to its customers. He and a G M inspector are shown giving this transmission a final check. In addition to keeping an eagle eye on every phase of manufacturing, the quality control engineer is closely concerned with preliminary design and engineering. More than 13,000 individual parts go into a G M car, and every one must be as reliable as men and machines can make it.

Raw materials, components, subassemblies—all get meticulous scrutiny. Tolerances to within fifty millionths of an inch are commonplace.

Among G M production employes, about one of every twelve devotes full time to quality control or inspection. Approximately 50,000 inspections are involved in the building of a single car.

In addition, every machine operator has the responsibility for the quality of his work and performance of his machine. He can accept or reject any part he makes. His work is checked by the quality control engineer and the inspector, who analyze machine capabilities and predict machine inaccuracy before it occurs—not after.

They're mighty important people, these G M quality control engineers. They have an exacting job, and they take pride in doing it well. G M products bear witness to their effectiveness.

smiling, saddened, and silent group of Tech men shown in the picture below is but one small segment of -EL the crowd of over 550 who came to the Progressive Club in Atlanta on May 16 to honor retiring dean of students, George C. Griffin. It was by far the largest testimonial dinner in the history of Georgia Tech. And the alumni came from as far as California to pay homage to a man who became a legend in his own lifetime.

At the exact moment that this picture was taken, another Alumnus photographer was catching George moving up to the speakers' platform — alone for the only instant during the long and moving evening. This combination of pictures came about only after a 15-minute delay during which master of ceremonies Fred Ajax pleaded with the guest of honor to stop shaking hands with everyone in the hall and come up where he belonged. It was that kind of an evening — one which will be talked about by Tech men in the same breath as the 1962 Alabama game, the 1955 Kentucky basketball games, or even the 1929 Rose Bowl game. And in years to come, if human nature prevails, the crowd of 550 will be stretched to the Nth power as once young Tech men tell their grandchildren that they were there on the night George was honored.

has a Tech man been so lavishly feted as was George Griffin on his night. Fred Ajax opened the show by reading the announcement by Governor Sanders proclaiming May 16, 1964, as "Dean George Griffin Day" in Georgia. Griffin squirmed and scowled (see pages 10 and 11).

Ajax then introduced five men representing segments of Georgia Tech and each gave a view of Griffin. The dean squirmed and scowled and laughed some more as President Harrison said, "A dean of students is a dad, a Dutch uncle, a wise man, a counselor, a judge, a disciplinarian, a guide, a walking bank, and a handy man. George is all of these and more and the phrase, 'let George do it,' has real meaning at Tech." Harrison also announced that Griffin had been named Dean Emeritus by the Board of Regents and would have an office in the Knowles Building ready for him when he moved out of his own building on June 30.

N

EVER

Student Body President John Hayes called Griffin "the best friend the students have at Tech. He treats everyone the same whether they are student officers or lowly first-quarter freshmen."

The faculty point of view was presented by English Professor Glenn Rainey. Rainey denned Griffin as "a warm current going through the cold ocean in Tech's somewhat glacial atmosphere. He has counterbalanced some of our worse faults, and I don't know how we are going to replace him," he concluded. continued on page 10 JULY, 1964

While the orators carried on

•

Bill Terrell represented the alumni and called Griffin "the most devoted and dedicated man to the best interest of Tech's alumni and friends." Terrell also inducted George's wife, Mrs. Genie Griffin, as an honorary member of the Georgia Tech National Alumni Association in a surprise ceremony.

Athletic Director Bobby Dodd, another of Griffin's bosses, praised him as a "wonderful influence on our school" and presented the dean with the keys to a 1964 Buick Skylark with all the extras as a gift from the Athletic Association.

Then came more gifts. Oscar Davis handed Griffin a silver tray engraved, "To the Greatest Dean of Them All, George C. Griffin, from his thousands of friends, May 16, 1964." Then Davis added, "as a means of getting polish to keep the tray shining, the alumni and friends of Griffin have come up with something tangible," and handed the dean a check for $5,223.23 which like the tray came from the "Gift for George" contributions as a result of a letter by Robert T. Jones, Jr., one of George's classmates.

The final presentation of the night was the announcement by Walter Mitchell that the Dean George Griffin Scholarship Fund had already exceeded $28,000. John Staton, presidentelect of the Georgia Tech Foundation, Inc., accepted the fund, which when all was said and done probably pleased George Griffin more than anything else that happened all evening.

APPRECIATION

On his feet finally, D e a n Griffin puts the perfect lid on the night .#--.

WHEN George finally got to his feet, he thanked everybody connected with the entire affair. But within a minute he had launched into a series of the stories that helped make him a legend.

He flailed his arms, laughed at his own lines before he said them, and generally acted just as a Tech man would expect George Griffin to act in front of a crowd.

After 30 minutes or so of assorted finished and unfinished story-telling, a small band suddenly appeared at the north end of the hall and broke into Rambliri Reck. Griffin, nonplussed, joined everybody in the place in singing three choruses of the song and then just as you would expect he went right back to his tall tales. He talked about Coach Alex and Bob Jones and Coach Dodd and President Van Leer and President Harrison and Fred Storey and John Staton and bankers and ticketsellers and others before he closed the evening out by saying what everyone already knew, "Really what I have been trying to do is sorta cover up my feelings a little bit by telling a lot of these lies. Thanks again for wasting your time here and thank the good Lord that I have so many friends. And I do hope that some way or other I can reach you to thank all of you for the many great things that you have done for me."

After the crowd broke up, one of the late-leavers noticed George and Genie wandering around the parking lot. Asked what they were doing, George replied, "Looking for our new car." The new car, of course, was still at Hix Green's waiting to be selected.

Nothing had changed.

NIGHT BANQUET •

Postscript: seven students fete George in their own manner NONE of the ceremonies surprised George Griffin quite as much as the only one that wasn't planned by an official committee. The ceremony in absentia was organized by a group of seven unknown Tech students who call themselves the "Magnificent Seven."

The group had snatched the Tech whistle from its moorings on October 3 1 .

During the afternoon of May 16, they returned it—polished, mounted on a handsome base, and engraved—to the dean via a delivery boy and Griffin's yardman.

The inscription read, "In behalf of all Tech men, this silenced memento is presented in the spirit of infamous Tech traditions to: Dean George C. Griffin who has contributed so much to the legend of Georgia Tech."

On the base plate appeared the words, "To 'Mr. Georgia Tech' from the 'Magnificent Seven.' " Upon receiving the trophy, Griffin sat down and wrote a letter to President Harrison turning it over to Tech since the whistle was institutional property. In his letter, he wrote, "I am returning the old whistle for your disposal." And then the dean suggested that the whistle be held in a safe place until the completion of Tech's longawaited Student Activities Center, there 14

to be mounted in a suitable spot and each year the names of the top scholar and the captain of the football team might be engraved on it.

This wasn't the first case of whistlenapping at Tech. In the fall of 1905 it only took four students to heist the whistle and the fear of reprisal kept the guilty from returning the noise maker until 1949, which amounts to 88 times as long as it took this year's group to hand it over.

The first theft was engineered by L. A. Emerson, a 1907 Tech graduate who now lives in Columbia, S. C. It too took place in the dead of night and threw the campus into a much larger turmoil than the modern-day incident.

According to an Atlanta Constitution news story following the theft, "The members of the faculty were almost frantic for a while, as they did not know how to summon the students.

The wildest confusion prevailed. A

man was sent up to inspect the whistle, but it was found to have been cut entirely in two.

"The result was that the schedule of recitations was greatly disarranged all day," continued the newspaper report, "and the students were silently chuckling in their sleeves."

In a letter written May 21, 1949 to the late Jack Thiesen, then Tech's alumni secretary, Emerson recalled, "The recollection of the student body being called into chapel and the fearful consequences promised the guilty parties still gives me a numb feeling all along my ageing spine. It was even rumored that the cost would be taken from the 'damage fees' of the entire student body—unless the culprits confessed."

Oh yes, the culprit first confessed to —you guessed it, the same George Griffin who received the second whistle.

An ending — a beginning

THE fEAR THAT WAS On a campus as busy as this one, no magazine can hope to cover all of the news during a given year. And often some of the best stories get lost in the shuffle of the monthly deadline, never to appear at all. Here are a few of those stories from the year, 1963-64.

Georgia Tech granted 1014 bachelor, 212 master and 27 doctor of philosophy degrees at the 81st commencement, held June 13 at the Fox Theater. During the ceremony, W i l liam S. Terrell, ' 3 1 , president of the National Alumni Association, inducted the entire class into the association by handing the traditional wallet to senior class president, Henry G r a d y Thrasher.

In delivering the commencement address, D. W . Brosnan, '23, president of Southern Railway System (see photo), urged the graduates to meet the challenges of their opportunities as individuals.

"The mark you make and the mark you leave behind you in this world can be sharp and clear only if you live life as an ind i v i d u a l , " Brosnan said. "Otherwise you'll be part of a meaningless blot that really represents the only mark a mass can make."

Southern's president told the graduates that with their educational base laid for beginning the business of life " y o u will really start to show what kind of men and women you are . . . you will be subjected to pressures and challenges for which textbooks have given you no answers . . . you are entering the age of choice."

Winner of the Alumni Distinguished Service A w a r d was John J. McDonough, '23, chairman of the board of the Georgia Power Company. President Harrison presented the award to McDonough for "His long and dedicated record of service to education in Georgia . . . and in gratitude for the many honors he has brought to the Georgia Institute of Technology through his business and civic leadership."

After graduation the Alumni Association was the host at a special luncheon for the graduates and their families.

THE CONFESSIONS OF A MOST HA] Illustrated by Joe McKibben

RASSED MAN Text by Bill Eastman Associate director of admissions

WIT comments that everyone is an expert on babies, A since all of us were babies once. It also appears that everyone is an expert on college admissions, since all of us were students once. College professors, businessmen, coaches, ministers, and doctors, all of whom would turn several interesting shades of purple if anybody tried to intrude into their field of specialization, have absolutely no qualms about volunteering their services as advisers to the director of admissions.

In addition to the amid curiae (or semi-pro) advisers listed above, the admissions worker is besieged by professional workers in and on the fringes of college admissions.

The points of view of the pros vary from the means and percentiles of the curve-fitting statistician to the dreamy generalities of the genuinely interested student personnel worker who maunders on about late-bloomers, underachieve™, educating the whole person and similar interesting but generally unprovable hypotheses. It is a well-established law that the degree of irritation of a director of admissions in contact with a pro is a linear function of time, whereas in contact with a semi-pro it is an exponential function of time. However, the irritability threshold in most directors of admission is so low as to make these differences negligible under standard conditions.

Between interviews with his advisers, the admissions worker is faced with the small problem of what he will do with, for example, the 4,500 applications which were received by Georgia Tech during the current year. This brings him back to reality with such a shock that the impersonal third person of the first paragraph must give way to the agonizing "we" which begins the letters going out to these 4.5 kilopeople this year. This problem seems to be a simple one. All that is required is to decide which students get the letter that begins "we regret" and which get the one opening with "we are glad." But there are factors which complicate this choice.

The first factor that must be considered is the number of students which Georgia Tech can admit in the fall quarter of the current year. This number has been set at 1,200 as an ideal goal, although it has varied in the past five years between 1,350 which delighted the controller and frustrated the freshman schedule advisers, and 1,148, which had the opposite effect. There are certain physical limitations, including the availability of chemistry and drawing labs, that are commonly referred to as setting this limit. However, a closer investigation appears to indicate that the 1,200 freshmen figure has been arrived at by that peculiar combination of mysticism, intuition, and hard-headed thinking which includes the size of the freshman class within the larger dimensions of the total present and long-term goals of the Institute. It does seem likely that these goals include a slight increase in the size of the freshman class, say to 1,600 by 1970. This assumes that no "brushfire" wars erupt, no economic recessions of great size occur, and that no educational legislation similar to PL 346 or PL 550 intervene. In continued on page 20

if

CONFESSIONS - continued other words, we are making that most dangerous of assumptions, normality, for the next six years.

Assuming for the present that there are 1,200 places to fill, the next question which arises is: What should we look for in the selection of these students? This is the point at which the services of the pros become valuable. We are fortunate at Tech to have a continuing program of evaluation of student success, directed by Dr. Warren Willingham, a Tech graduate and a psychological statistician par excellence (who unfortunately left us in June to become director of research for the College Board).

Using data on the relationship between high school grades, aptitude and achievement tests of the College Board, and freshman performance, the statistician provides the admissions office with a single figure which represents the best guess of a given student's freshman grades. Since the primary aim of the admissions office is to select students capable of absorbing Tech's curricula and graduating as competent engineers, scientists, architects, and managers, this figure must be the single most important factor in assessing a student's application. Each year, the office of admissions sets a rough cutting score, based on the estimate of applications which may be received. A student scoring below this figure will ordinarily not be considered for admission.

As this number is actually a predicted grade average, it is easily understood by everyone involved—the student, the parent, the high school counselor, and the admissions officer.

The method for computing the predicted grade-point average is published annually in the College Board's Manual of Freshman Class Profiles so that high school counselors can use it in pre-college counseling with their sophomores and juniors. This rough cutting score has risen from its first use at Tech in 1961 at 1.7, which is the minimum grade required for good standing in the freshman year, to 2.0 for the current year. This means that on the basis of the best information available, we are accepting students who have at least a 50-50 chance for success in the freshman year, if success is defined as the achievement of a "C" average.

This method of selection of students is so simple, after it has been set up, that it might appear that the director of admissions job could be turned over to a competent clerk with a desk calculator and an automatic typewriter. There are times when we wish it could be done this way. But a lingering doubt about the infallibility of strictly actuarial methods and the presence of certain influences on admissions decisions keep the admissions business from operating this simply.

There are other considerations, some legitimate, some (let us be charitable) illegitimate, that admissions workers must consider. No college wants to enroll a freshman class of greasy grade-grinds with neat IBM punches covering their cerebrums instead of a time-honored rat cap. One admissions officer has suggested, perhaps facetiously and 20

perhaps not, that if a college has a quota of 1,000 students, 800 should be selected by the admissions office using an objective standard, 50 should be selected by the athletic department, 50 by the alumni office, 50 by the board of trustees, and 50 by whatever experimental method the director of evaluation studies happens to be enthused over at the time. This method is not without merit. It would certainly bring home to people outside the admissions office the difficulty of selecting even so small a group as 50 students. This method would also insure that the student body would be more than just a group of adequate academic anonymities.

Lacking the proposed method of quotas for each special interest group, how does the admissions office make sure that the students selected will be more than adequate academic anonymities? One obvious answer is through contact with the pros and semi-pros with their legitimate and illegitimate advice. For example, the ubiquitous Dr. Willingham has been researching in the area of non-intellectual factors affecting academic performance. The object of this research is to improve the selection of students who will be academically successful by finding out what non-academic factors are important to academic success.

The first results indicate that the successful Tech student is a stereotype of the all-American boy variety. Jack Armstrong, himself, could not be possessed of a more perfect set of virtues. Such factors as leadership, holding a parttime job, balanced extracurricular activities, a liking for math and sciences, and a realistic self appraisal of ability are all positively related to success at Tech. However, a TECH ALUMNUS

word of caution is in order. The extracurricular activities and other non-intellectual factors listed still do not play as important a part in predicting success at Tech as does the predicted freshman grade average computed from direct academic grades and test scores. And most of our applicants have good extracurricular records in addition to good grades and test scores. So semi-pros take note, do not besiege your favorite admissions officer with statements such as "All you guys is (sic) interested in is (sic) eggheads." It has been proved and proved again that superior academic performance and superior extracurricular activity most often go hand in hand, and that no amount of extracurricular ability can give a boy the basic aptitudes and preparation he needs to handle a technical education.

There are some additional reservations which the admissions officer must acknowledge in using non-intellectual factors such as extracurricular activities in the selection of students. As noted above, the typical successful Tech freshman appears to be a stereotype of the ail-American boy.

This means that loo great a reliance on the use of conventional extracurricular activities in the selection of students results in the exchange of the adequate academic anonymity for the clean-cut well adjusted student. But what of the screwball? Every admissions officer has, cither publicly or privately, a "screwball quota." Without it, there would be a severe lack on college campuses of such necessary figures, as student newspaper editors, folk singers, peace marchers, and quite possibly future Nobel Prize winners. While these types are not calculated to guarantee restful nights to the dean of students, they do furnish the "ferment" necessary JULY, 1964

on any college campus. It is worth noting that a recent accreditation committee visiting Tech indicated their disappointment in the lack of such "ferment" here. It looks as though we should increase our "screwball quota."

While the admissions officer labors onward through the year, surrounded by his Greek chorus of well-meaning advisers and filled with a growing number of paranoid symptoms, he comes up against another recurring problem. Invariably, the student selected by him as the brightest applicant of the lot will write a letter stating that he has received a $3,000 scholarship to M.I.T., Yale, R.P.I., Carnegie Tech, or some other Croesus among universities. Strange to say, the director of admissions at M.I.T., Yale, etc., never receives letters from his star student stating that he will attend Georgia Tech because Tech is giving him a $3,000 scholarship. The reason for this is that we don't have any $3,000 scholarships . . . or any $2,000 scholarships . . . and damn few $1,000 scholarships.

This year, the scholarship committee has been unable to date to grant scholarship aid to any non-Georgia resident with a predicted freshman grade average less than 3.0.

Since this group represents the top 1% of our freshman class, it is a simple deduction that we are not doing well in the brain-buying market. Of course, many of the students to whom we have made awards of $200 to $300 are turning us down because they have received awards of $3,000 to the University of Croesus. In the words of a scholarship committee member, "Offering a $200 scholarship to these boys is like spitting in their face."

As an example of what other colleges are doing, one large public Midwestern university mailed to every high school student on the semi-finalist list of the National Merit Scholarship several letters encouraging these students to apply for financial aid. The letter suggested strongly that such aid would be available regardless of their eventual selection as a National Merit Scholarship winner. Now many people may object strongly to this as strictly brainbuying, and may say that we need more scholarship funds, but for financial need cases only. It is true that funds should be made available for needy students, but in addition to these funds, scholarship funds are needed to recruit top quality students for our programs. To those people who object, let us consider the analogy of the supplementation of faculty salaries. No university, including Tech, requires that an outstanding faculty member have a financial need before giving him a raise. All that is required is that he be outstanding. Or take the athlete, he need not be in financial straits to receive a grant-in-aid. He just has to be excellent in football or basketball, etc. Students, it is certain, have the same right. Other outstanding schools recognize this.

Georgia Tech must come also to this realization. Last year, M.I.T. gave 49% of its freshmen financial aid . . . Cal Tech gave 66% of its freshmen financial aid . . . and Georgia Tech gave 3 % of its freshmen financial aid. Even allowing for the difference in educational costs between Tech and continued on page 22 21

CONFESSIONS - continued the other two schools, this is too big a gap. Tech has made significant progress with the present method of gradually increasing the quality of its students from the bottom up.

But wc can never hope to enroll more than a handful of the really top students who can be expecied to make significant contributions to the school, the state, and the country without additional scholarship funds.

Meantime, the admissions officer struggles on, attempting to find good reasons for bad decisions, hopefully inquiring of the teaching staff if they are noticing any difference in the quality of the students admitted this year, placating the pros and the semi-pros, and viewing witli a dour look the statistics projecting a 15% increase in high school seniors in 1965. Let us draw a charitable curtain over this tragic (and self-pitying) hero as he contemplates his yearly report of 200 high schools visited, 8,000 application forms mailed out, 4,500 applications received, 2,200 applications accepted, 900 applications refused, 100 applications placed on a waiting list for further action, 1,300 applications cancelled by the student, 1,600 acceptances eonfirmed by the student, 400 cancellations by the student after he confirmed acceptance, and hopefully, 1,200 faces shining up at him at the first freshman meeting of the fall quarter. May we rest in peace until the whole cycle starts again in October.

EVERAL alumni magazines, massmarket magazines, and other publications have recently published quizzes in which the reader is asked to select students most likely to succeed at a given school, real or imaginary. An examination of these quizzes appears to indicate that they are loaded against the reader rather strongly, in that typical cases have been selected.

Presented below is a random sample of freshmen from the class which entered in September of 1962. They have not been picked either as representative or special cases of students entering at this time. For your information, the "average" entering freshman in 1962 had a high school average of 3.1,>scores on the College Board examinations of 535 on the verbal section and 613 on the mathematical section, and a freshman grade average of 2.1.

Halfback Craig Baynham of the Whites gathers in a pass with one eye on the onrushing Golds.

THE MOST OPTIMISTIC SPRING IN E NTHUSIASM—the mark of the 1964 spring practice— spilled all over Grant Field May 1 as the Gold team beat the Whites, 23-13, in what Coach Bobby Dodd called, "the best spring game I can remember." The crowd of interested fans stayed until the final whistle and showed their agreement with Dodd in their applause and cheers. The tackling was brisk and of the gang-variety, the blocking was positive, and the passing game that dominates "T-night" games was better than advertised or expected.

Bruce Fischer, the thinking-man's quarterback, led the Golds to the win, completing 14 of 22 passes for 141 yards and two touchdowns, scampering about the field like an educated rabbit. Fischer and Jerry Priestley waged a twoman battle all spring for the-"Quarterback post vacated by all-American Billy Lothridge. But Priestley, who appeared to be gaining a slight edge over his rival, came up injured after the final Saturday scrimmage and was held out of this one, thus negating a battle that might have matched most regular season games for excitement. Charles Mason, one of the three good Sophomore quarterbacks, guided the Whites most of the way, completing 9 of 18 passes for 91 yards and one touchdown and scoring the other one himself on a heady lO^yard keeper. He was aided 24

EARS

in the second half by Bill Eastman, another of the Sophomores, who switched from the Golds to the Whites at halftime. Eastman, no man to show favoritism, hit 5 of 7 for 60 yards for the Whites and 3 for 3 for 61 yards for the Golds. His appearance in the white uniform almost pulled the fat out of the fire, but his 62-yard drive was halted 3 yards short of a score and ate up too much of the clock to do any good. Kim King, the other of the young hopefuls, was injured and did not play.

The Golds took charge on their first drive from the opening kickoff. Fischer set the pattern for the evening by hitting his first four passes in a row. After a couple of runs and a pair of incomplete throws, Fischer found Haven Kicklighter, the outstanding Sophomore halfback of the spring, in the open at the five and the yearling went in for the score. The game's leading ground gainer, Giles Smith (13 for 63 yards), added the extra point. Smith, star halfback of last year's undefeated Freshman team, played at fullback all spring and gave indications, that he could handle the job without too much trouble. After an exchange when neither team could make much progress, the complexion of the game changed suddenly.

Mason found the mark and hit Sophomore Richard RoseTECH ALUMNUS

bush to start the drive after Jimmy Cavan's 40-yard punt return had placed the ball on the Golds' 40. Terry Haddock, only one of Tech's expected top four halfbacks for 1964 to play in the game, then took charge, running twice for a total of 15 yards and breaking loose to take a 16-yard touchdown pass from Mason. Bunky Henry's PAT attempt was wide and with 5:04 remaining in the first quarter it was 7-6, Gold.

The Gold opened the second quarter just as they did the first, with a long scoring drive. This one started at their own 7 and traveled to the Whites' 13 before it was halted and Navy veteran Jack Clark came in to put 3 points on the board with a 29-yard field goal from a difficult angle. The Gold team came back in a few minutes with Eastman at the helm and went 64 yards on a scoring drive after recovering a fumble. The fumble followed the best run of the night when Terry Haddock, by far the most exciting runner of the spring, returned a kick-off 62 yards before he was halted by Jimmy Sudderth the last man in his way. On the Gold drive Eastman batted 1000 in three throws and finally sent Kicklighter in from the 4 for the score that made it 16-6. Smith added the point and it moved to 17-6.

Each team managed a touchdown in the second half. The Golds got the first one on a 60-yard drive highlighted by Fischer's passing and Smith's running. The scoring play was a 4-yard pass from Fischer to Smith, the two smallest men in the combat. Smith's kick was blocked by Tommy

Elliott, another Sophomore who has been switched to corner linebacker this spring and seems to have found a home.

The Whites got six points on a 70-yard drive in which Mason suddenly found the range on four passes in a row, two to Haddock and two to Cavan, and then carried the ball in himself on two straight keepers from the 24. Henry's PAT was good and the final score was up at 23-13.

The visiting coaches were amazed at the showing of the 1964 Tech squad. Considering that a full 13 of the Jackets who figure now to be in the top 33 players this fall didn't play in the game, the reasons for their post-game headshaking was obvious. Ends Gยงorge Morris, Steve Copeland, and Dave Sewell were out for injuries and Dick Emerson was excused for baseball. Tackles Bill Paschal, Tom Ballard, and Randy Watkins also missed the game as did halfbacks Gerry Bussell, Tommy Jackson, and Johnny Gresham. Center Bill Curry, the sensation of the spring and Tech's best candidate for all-American mention this year, was hurt in practice and fullback candidate Jeff Davis was held out of spring contact to allow his knee more time to heal. If Tech gets back 7 5 % of these boys plus Priestly, this could be the surprise team in the area this fall. In his first year as an independent, Dodd could well have one of his best teams. The spirit of this squad is the best this observer has witnessed since 1956. These Sophomores are making even the most blase of the veterans hustle. The notion persists in this corner that another 1951 may be in the making.

Winston Boteler, head of Tech's Electromechanical Devices Branch, will leave for Afghanistan late in June and will teach Mechanical Engineering at Kabul University for at least a year. Two other teachers from American schools belonging to the program will complete the team for the coming year.

Bobby F. Barfield, Mechanical Engineering, was among an advance group from the program which began work at Kabul in the spring of 1963 teaching undergraduate classes in Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics.

In addition, one of the eight representatives of the Faculty of Engineering from Kabul now studying for higher degrees in the United States is a student at Georgia Tech.

The Kabul Afghan-American Program was established in September of 1963 when 11 American universities and institutions of technology, along with Educational Services, Inc., (ESI) formed a "consortium" to assist the Royal Government of Afghanistan in development of engineering education at Kabul University. Financial support is provided under an agreement between the U.S. Agency for International Development (AID) and supplementary agreements between ESI and consortium members.

Engineering Evening School is d e a d a t 5 6

THE 56-year-old Engineering Evening School at Tech expired on June 30 under an extensive reorganization of the Engineering Extension Division designed to upgrade the Institute's after-hours educational program. Evening college credit work now comes under the same administrative procedures as the regular day school curricula.

With the demise of the Evening School, the new Department of Continuing Education (an outgrowth of the old Short Courses and Conferences Department) will take over the evening adult education and pre-freshman courses.

Richard Wiegand heads up the new department with Robert S. Herndon, formerly head of the Evening School, as associate director for special programs and James L. Garner as associate director for short courses.

Here is a tentative schedule of short courses to be offered during the 1964-65 year. Alumni interested in any of these programs may get further information by writing to the Department of Continuing Education, Georgia Tech, Atlanta 30332.
