read any of our previous writings that we dislike machines to put it mildly.

We looked with suspicion on the process of changing over the alumni records from the old-type stencils to IBM cards and with horror when the switch was made from the cards to the computer. We just figured that somehow we were not going to come out of this mechanization without considerable trouble. Well, it came as it always must to those of little faith.

The vehicle for the machine's revenge was the special issue on "The Directory of Active Alumni" produced in late August.

The city of Kingsport, Tennessee was changed somehow to Kingston and we heard from that. A friend of ours came up with his name reversed and we were properly informed about that miscue. People we knew who always preferred to use an initial for a first name and a middle name for an initial received the opposite treatment from those machines, and we had a few letters on that subject.

Over 30 alumni who contributed to the Roll Call last year in plenty of time to get their names in the book were somehow excluded completely and we certainly received some justified complaints on that one. We have tried to correct that by printing the names and addresses on the page opposite.

But the classic goof of them all occurred in the process of extracting the names of cities for the geographical section from the zip codes which is the way magazine mailing lists are kept in this age. Somehow, the city of Clearwater, Florida came out Anna Maria and the city of Sarasota appeared as Aripeka, a fact that we have received few complaints about simply because the alumni in those two places never thought to look under the A's for their names. We are not sure that some other cities didn't suffer a similar fate because we are afraid to check.

Our apologies to Clearwater and Sarasota for the machine's perverseness along with our best wishes to all of you for a happy holiday season.

A group of students with faculty and alumni help get a first-rate FM radio station started on the campus and in just a year have expanded it to serve much of the city of Atlanta

I ON THE

• VANCE PACKARD, the man who

re-

vealed The Status Seekers for what they really are, was at Tech this year and before his visit was over he had been interviewed in the janitor's closet, just down the hall from a radio studio on the fifth floor of the Electrical Engineering building. Author Packard sat on a bucket during his interview, surrounded by an array of mops and brooms and breathing air that was permeated with disinfectant. The explanation is that it's the only place that doesn't give an echo. They're right—Mr. Packard didn't echo.

W R E K is the Voice of Tech, an educational F M radio station that has been on the air since 7:30 p.m.

March 24, 1968. It is for, by and of Tech students. And, whether the airwaves are throbbing with the beat of the Top Forty record hits or blaring forth the Ramblin' Reck on Saturday afternoons, the station is a healthy sign that the Techman is just as innovative and persistent as h e has always been, if not more so.

W R E K was born at a leadership conference on September 11, 1966, a t Callaway Gardens. A student session on communications with Gene Nichols, Associate Dean of Students, and Dr. James A Strickland, Director of Guidance, led to the discussion of ways of improving communication between students and faculty on the Tech campus. Dick Crouch, an E E major who later became W R E K ' s first general manager, vocalized the idea after an hour and a half of talk had transpired. "We ought to have a radio station." The idea was set forth and took hold of the group.

Luncheon discussions with a larger group of students evolved and there a group of Techmen decided to look at other colleges with their radio stations and determine what the initial cost would be and what sort of programming was used.

Dick Crouch convinced his stepfather, L. H. Montgomery, Jr., of Nashville, Tenn., that W R E K was a worthwhile cause, and Mr. Montgomery gave a considerable amount of equipment including an audio console and turntables to the students.

Joe Wesley, a Tech student, wrote a three-page constitution for W R E K .

T h e student government committee of the Student Council approved the proposal for W R E K on J a n u a r y 26, 1967. Governmental red tape—known in the broadcasting industry as the The Georgia Tech Alumnus

Federal Communications Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;delayed the opening of W R E K several times. Finally, an approval for a construction permit was issued by the FCC on January 31, 1968.

It was imperative that a location for W R E K be found and numerous spots were considered. It was thought that the top floor of the Old Electrical Engineering Building (now the Administration Annex) would be ideal, but the cost of constructing proper walling was prohibitive. Tech adm i n i s t r a t o r s n e x t suggested t h a t W R E K be located in the Hemphill Avenue Church of God building, but it was not tall enough for an antenna.

Dr. Benjamin Dasher, Director of E E , who believed that W R E K was one of the most beneficial student projects at Tech, came to the rescue.

He donated a small room on the fifth floor of the E E building as W R E K ' s first home and studio.

Dick Crouch went to the Publications Board in the spring of 1967 and presented a budget for W R E K which was approved to the tune of $3,500 with an option by the Board to take up the proposal again if more funds were needed. Tech's Interfraternity Council donated $1,000 and $900 in Student Activities Fees was approved by the Student Council. A transmitter was purchased and the initial outlay of capital approached $6,000.

W R E K was on the air on registration day for Spring Quarter. It was a 10-watt non-commercial FM radio station operating at 91.1 on the FM dial. The original programming was a "split format" -the station signed on at noon with rock music and the Top Forty. During the evening, the station played popular music and slow study music until 1 a.m. News spots were primarily coverage of campus news The original staff of 10 all worked without pay.

W R E K went on vacation during

summer quarter and signed on again on September 15 with a lot of new things. During the summer, Goeff Mendenhall, a Tech student and station engineer, hand-built a new transmitter for W R E K . The new transmitter increased the station power to 700 watts, enabling the station to have prime coverage over a 15-mile radius. Mendenhall first had to have the new transmitter approved by the FCC before it could be used and he ended up bearing most of the cost for construction.

The format of the station was a new one in September. Station personnel conducted a survey of students on registration day and discovered that the musical preference was for all rock music. Other FM stations in Atlanta offer slow music for studying at night and the Tech students can now lay claim to having the only station in Atlanta with Top Forty records at night.

T h e station obtains its records gratis from distributors. T h e Southern Music Survey of 50 large music stations in the Southeast clues personnel as to what the popular rock is each week. A bigger emphasis on news is noticeable with the station carrying international, national, local and campus news every hour on the half hour. Feature programs are carried on a regular basis with Student Body President Carey Brown broadcasting for student government.

An editorial comment is presented by the news editor of W R E K and Tech student Mark Dash produces a program on the Atlanta scene.

W S B - R a d i o in A t l a n t a h e l p e d W R E K get an Associated Press wire machine this year at an educational rate.

Dave Whelan, production manager, points out that the station is on the air this quarter with an acute personnel shortage. W R E K needs ten full-time announcers working

nine hours each week and two parttime announcers. There is dire need for nine newscasters and a news staff of about ten who will work at least an hour and a half each day. It takes about 35 students to run the station effectively. Considering that each student has classes to attend and time allotted for studying, it is u n d e r s t a n d a b l e t h a t t h e station would need 35 persons available for staffing. A regular radio station can be run by five rrien who work eight to ten hours each day.

It is a godsend for W R E K that engineer Mendenhall is adept at repairing radio equipment with tape and glue. He soulfully intones that the station is in immediate need of two new turntables and two tape recorders.

The station must in the future attract Tech students' interests while they are freshmen and sophomores so that they can work with the station throughout their college careers.

Another ambition of the present staff is to expand the power of the station from 700 watts.

Whelan is committed to the idea that W R E K must expand. "Although the major purpose of the station is to serve the Georgia Tech community, its students and faculty, a secondary purpose is to present the image of Georgia Tech to the Atlanta community and this is why we need to grow." He points out that "we currently have enough operational money, but do not have enough money for expansion of the station."

"Dull Comments" is a program carried on W R E K and its star is Tech's Dean of Stude. \ James Dull. He is an enthusiastic supporter of the project and declares that "this is the only student activity that had enough damn good basic organization from the very beginning."

Associate Dean Gene Nichols, who was in the session where W R E K originated, has only praise for the student efforts, "This is truly one of the most rewarding experiences from a standpoint of how we wanted it to be a student project. We were not going to do the labor or any of the running around, but felt the students could learn from this process. They learned how to meet people, ask for things, and to put up with the disappointment of not getting things.

There has been a minimum of faculty involvement."

year's

Homecoming, a significant event took place amidst all of the usual carnival-like trappings of a Tech celebration. On Friday afternoon, October 25, five hours before the reunion parties began, a group of over 180 alumni and wives sat for two hours listening to a panel made up of a university presi-

dent, the nation's top college magazine editor, two present-day students, and a dean of engineering discuss that subject which so often seems to be the all-encompassing obsession of today's American university.

The subject, of course, was Student Unrest: 1968.

And the panel, moderated

by Tech's Dean of Engineering Arthur G. Hansen, included Emory President Sanford Atwood, Columbia

then he established the that the most talented protheme of the afternoon's fessors are leaving the classproceedings by posing the room for research and pubquestion, "Those of us who lication.

Dean Hansen then point- They are demanding a voice ed out that the protests and a vote in the develop-

were called a fad by many back in 1964 but that during the past four years the protests had grown, not diminished. "So serious has the problem become," he added, "that a recent survey of 2,700 college administrators, trustees, faculty members, and students reflected that 90 per cent of this group belived that direct action methods on the part of the students would increase in the seventies.

College Today Editor Dean Hansen concluded George Keller, and Tech his introductory remarks by students Charles Brown, pointing out what the stuwho calls himself a moder- dents, themselves, really ate, and Ron Vinson, who say they want out of all of styles himself as a liberal. this unyielding pressure Dean Hansen set the stage they are putting upon tofor the presentation by trac- day's university communiing the history of the stu- ties.

ment of educational policy.

They are dissatisfied with traditional materialistic goals that the universities have directly or indirectly supported. Here in direct quotes are some of the statements of today's students in other colleges: 'Students are approaching ,the Establishment, trying to discover if they can chart their own destiny, if they can have greater control over it. One of the themes on our campus might be termed impotent outrage.

We want so badly to have an impact on the society in which we live.' Or, 'Columbia will not be able to serve a vital educational function until what is taught and learned is directly united to the process of satisfying the social needs of people who are now repressed.

Knowledge has meaning only when the means exist

to transform that knowledge intp social reality.

Those means do n o t exist today because America is fragmented by its economic structure. T h e left movement knows that the economic structure of America must be radically transformed. They are fighting for the power to make that knowledge a reality. Only after they have won can

Americans unite, and only then will Columbia's education have a real social value.' Or that ultimate student statement of frustration: T am 22 years old and I'm tired. America has worn me out. I don't believe in God and I don't believe that America is the golden center of the universe. You can get away with not believing in one of these, b u t not both.'

And today's college administrators are listening to these voices. B u t with all of this honest recognition, those of us on the other side of that great modern dividerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the age of 30â&#x20AC;&#x201D;are puzzled by the methods of these students and I'm anxious to get into the heart of this discussion and hear what our students have to say."

STUDENT UNRESTâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;cont.

DR. SANFORD ATWOOD President, Emory University â&#x20AC;˘ ATWOOD: One of the things that

comes through rather loud and clear to me is the size of the institution as one of the factors we must consider.

It was driven home to me yesterday as I spent all day in Montgomery, Alabama, where I am proud to say that a fine young Emory Ph.D., Alan Johnson, by name, was being inaugurated as president of Huntingdon College. I h a d a chance to talk to the former president, see some of the buildings, talk to some of the civic leaders, and visit in the president's home. It is obvious that on this campus of considerably less than a thousand students the president still performs a kind of Mr. Chips role. T h e reason that the president retired there was due to ill health. They say that even in his late years, he had the pattern of walking around the campus every afternoon, past one dormitory after another. H e knew literally every student by name, usually by first name. H e knew the student's mother and father. H e knew where they came from and what they were trying to do. And so it was not just a polite "hellof* it was something about a particular course that that student was involved in that day. It was a very intimate kind of relationship. That kind of relationship doesn't exist today at Georgia Tech or at Emory.

I don't want to make too much of this size business, but I think that we must be aware of this problem as we look at some of the major state 10

universities particularly those that only a few years ago had five thousand students, doubled to ten, then twenty and then doubled again to forty. T h e University of California now has 100,000 students! There is a lack of identity. I t is not the Huntingdon College situation any more.

I would like to emphasize one figure that came up at our N S F meeting last spring. There was a report that stated that if you could somehow take all of the present day scientific knowledge, including not just pure science but applied phases such as agriculture, medicine, and engineering, and if somehow you could write this all down in a set of successive volumes, that our total cumulated knowledge today would be 10 million volumes.

But even more important to me than the 10 million figure was the fact that we are adding to this at the rate today of about 1 million volumes per year. So by the time today's freshmen finish college there will be 14 million volumes for them to assimilate. Obviously this is a factor in the kind of situation that we have. Everybody has written about it, everybody has tried to analyze it, everybody has tried to predict.

I will read to you from what I think is one of the most succinct analysis of this situation, a little pamphlet put out by the American Council on Education entitled "Freedom and Order on Campus." I am going to read four sentences which indicate where we should be putting our attention today as we work as faculty and administrators in the planning for better order on the campus.

1. A set of fundamental principles that undergird the structure.

2. A code of rules and regulations.

3. An unambiguous rationale for dealing with violations.

4. A clear cut policy regarding sanctions.

It is my own strong feeling that at some point we draw a line. Last spring we were very much interested in this subject, when the office of the president of the University of Georgia was occupied by students. Many have asked what I would have done in that situation. Well, I wouldn't have done what Fred Davidson did.

The students came, they had their demands. Fred left at the end of the afternoon and left the students there.

I would have said to my students, "Look, we have had a good discus-

sion. W e haven't resolved everything. There is another day. I invite you back tomorrow." We would have set an appointment and then I would have asked them to leave when I left.

If they did not leave then I would have seen that they were taken out at once.

I am not familiar enough with the Columbia situation to try to analyze it. But let me generalize by saying that sometimes administration has not reacted promptly enough. And I don't know whether any of us, when confronted with the actual situation, would be smart enough to do it.

There is another way by which I think we could avoid certain situations and that is to be alert to the present-day student and provide better for their overall education. T h e Emory student today is highly selected at the undergraduate level. We have thousands of applicants . . . we take only six hundred.

These are very bright students, extremely highly motivated. They know what they want and they are trying to get there just as fast as they can.

One innovation that I am particularly proud of at Emory came about when certain interested faculty members thought that they might be overteaching the students. They wondered what would happen if the students were given more free time to learn on their own. Everyone has tinkered with the yearly calendar.

We have quarters, semesters, trimesters, and all kinds of arrangements now. Lots of people have tinkered with the daily calendar. W e have some class periods of fifty minutes and some of an hour and a half. We have introduced all kinds of things that are new in terms of educational media. B u t nobody had ever experimented with the weekly calendar to our knowledge.

The Dean asked what would happen if we were to take all of the courses now taught Monday thru Friday, and squeeze them into Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday and leave Wednesday free. Not only would the students not have classes, they could not schedule student activities on that day. This day was to be completely free. T h e students immediately dubbed it Wonderful Wednesday.

Now let's see what happened. T h e experiment has been going on about two years. T h e first thing that happened was there was standing room The Georgia Tech Alumnus

only in the library on Wednesday.

More books were drawn out than ever before. More books were bought in the bookstore than ever before.

Some students devoted themselves seriously to a project, like a term paper. They loved to have a whole day uninterrupted when they could work on something of this kind. Some of them just went to the library and read a book that they had wanted to read, but had not had the time before. Some went to the art studios and painted, some listened to records, some went to the art museum.

A higher proportion of the students made the Dean's List than ever before in history. Fewer students were on probation. The faculty almost to a man says that it is more fun teaching now because the students are more interested than before. The students like it.

Maybe we are going to have to find gimmicks of this kind to provide for the sort of educational opportunities that this bright young generation needs and demands. We haven't been amiable enough to change. And the one word that comes through loud and clear to me at Emory, and really across the country on this subject, is hypocrisy. This is true whether we are talking about the rules in the dormitories, the curriculum or anything about their total life inside and outside the classroom while they are devoting the best years of their lives to education in such a fast moving world. They are saying to our generation, "Why don't you do it as you say you want to do it instead of as you are actually doing it."

GEORGE KELLER Editor, Columbia College Today November-December 1968

• KELLER: I would like to discuss a wholly new aspect of student unrest.

Underneath all the talk about reforms' and change or violence and Com- i munist domination, behind the accusations and moral postures, and at the foundation of campus unhappiness and adult resentment there is a something larger happening. It is what I call the hidden agenda of America's present unrest. I say America's unrest because not only the students are restless. Discontent is widespread among us today. And it is the deeply buried roots of this national grumbling that I want to locate, if I can.

What is happening, in my estimation, is that America is going through a genuine revolution. There are two kinds of revolutions. One is the violent, dramatic kind, such as the French revolution, or the American revolution of 1776-1787. The other is a more quiet, protracted, sneaky kind that overturns whole portions of the way we live or think almost without us recognizing it. As examples of this second kind, I might point to the invention of the tin can, which revolutionized the dietary habits and health of countless millions of people around the world, and the development 50 years ago of the gas-driven machine called the automobile, which changed our entire pattern of transportation and living —not to mention love-making and farming.

Our present revolution is of the second kind, glacier-like and only partly seen, though it has its violent moments too.

The primary development is the rapid growth of large scale, intricately organized, scientific industrialism —something in which Georgia Tech has played a proud part. During the past century, most Americans have adopted as their basic philosophy what I call "democratic materialism."

That is, our chief object in life is to have comfortable, secure existence in this world—not in heaven or some next life—and to have it available to everyone, not just to a small aristocracy or a business elite or the members of one religon or race.

In order to make democratic materialism possible, we require lots of goods, from abundant fresh vegetables to refrigerators and shoes, and we need them to be cheap so that they are available to almost everyone. The way to get lots of goods cheaply is to produce them quickly in mass quantities. Therefore, large-

scale industrialism is an absolute necessity in America, given our ultimate commitment to democratic materialism.

A second thing needed is specializtion. No one person today can assemble totally the products that most of us buy and consume, even safety pins, clocks, or band-aids, at a price that all of us can afford. It requires that the making of items be broken down into a variety of tasks. As production is broken up into many units, ou? work is perforce increasingly narrow and specialized.

A third requisite is bureaucracy.

Any big enterprise with specialized tasks needs a considerable work force to organize it, to arrange for production schedules, marketing arrangements, the payroll, and the like. A considerable number of white-collar personnel must co-ordinate and service these big, fragmented operations.

Some of us tend to think that "bureaucracy" is a peculiar fact of big government, but any sizeable complex organization—a corporation, the military, a labor union, even a university—possesses a bureaucracy of clerks, officials, and executives. Administration — and bureaucracy — is inescapable in modem society.

Lastly, large-scale industry needs cities. Big enterprise inevitably requires large numbers of people, large amounts of goods, a large array of skills. It thus leads to the clustering of persons, skills, and materials.

Each of these requisites for largescale industrialism (which is required in turn by democratic materialism) h a s unpleasant aspects. Bigness brings impersonality, a decline in friendliness and intimacy, feelings of inadequacy and impotence. Specialization leads to routine, standardization, the decline of flair and the unusual, alienation, and loss of a sense of purpose. An old-time builder, who put together an entire log cabin himself (without plumbing or electricity) had a sense of accomplishment from the whole; a modernday plasterer or plumber may never even see the houses he works on in completed form.

Bureaucracy breeds a stiffness of procedure, boredom, a dampening of initiative, feelings of helplessness and inevitability, irresponsibility ("Don't blame me, lady, I'm just doing my j o b " ) . And urbanization m e a n s crowding, slum conditions, traffic problems, pollution of the water and air, and the destruction of natural life—rabbits, flowers, giant trees.

STUDENT UNREST—cont.

of America's total population, are now full-time students. By 1975 perhaps one-third of all Americans may be going to school full-time. Teachers are now by far the largest professional group. Last year's expenditures of $54 billion for education is greater than the total U.S. budget of 1951, when we were in the Korean war.

America now has a greater percentage of Negroes going to college (9 per cent) than England has whites ( 8 per cent).

A third change deriving from contemporary industrialism is the alteration of our class structure. Once, the rich worked lightly and played while the laboring people toiled 12 hours or more a day, sometimes with their children alongside. While there still are persons of great inherited wealth and leisure, numerous of the wealthier persons now work 12 hours a day, as several sociological studies have shown, while many of the working class—and most young students —are the new leisured in our midst, putting in 35 or 32 hours of work a weeks. And, the well-off new leaders tend to come increasingly from h u m b l e b a c k g r o u n d s , minority groups, all religions, and national origins, as well as the traditionally accepted stocks. Education has played a key role here, but modern scientific industry has more and more needed persons of talent, energy, imagination, intellect, and organization—regardless of those persons other attributes.

Thus, in order to get what we want we have to accept a number of conditions that we don't want. Herein lies the abrasive rub.

The growth of large-scale industrialism not only has conditions necessary to its success, but it also triggers other developments. Possibly the most significant derivative development is our increasing internationalism. Because many of the new materials necessary for modern manufacturing ( a n d consumption) a r e located outside the United States— from rubber and tin to sugar and uranium—and because mass production leads to mass, or international, sales and distribution (think of Coca-Cola), America becomes more involved in the affairs of nearly every nation in the world. And, of course, the very sophistication of modern technology makes it possible, through jet air lines, telephones, television, and the like, to be more acquainted with and close to other nations..

Increasing internationalism in turn requires and breeds other developments. For instance, we have had to build a bigger federal government staff to cope with the expanding international involvement. We have also had to assemble a bigger military, which necessitates an apparently permanent draft. This means we now live uneasily with an inextricable involvement with the rest of the So, contemporary society is having world, with a huge federal bureaucto face an unexpected new class racy, on a quasi-wartime basis.

proaches. It brings a new reluctance about attaching oneself too long or too strongly to any one outlook or behavioral pattern.

Listen to young people's language.

They speak of "staying cool," of not getting "hung up," of "taking it easy." The phrases reveal a mental attitude that eschews traditional attachments and long-term commitments. The reform efforts of the young are no longer sustained, wellorganized efforts, but explosive, almost spontaneous, relatively vague lunges. In place of political parties with concrete programs the young prefer "movements."

This is not to say that faith and values are disappearing. They cannot. Even to have no faith at all is actually a faith that there is no faith worth having. But it does mean that we live in a period of enormous ethical and religious upheavals. In some ways we live in one of the most religious periods of Western civilization, because of the powerful challenges to traditional patterns and the intense spiritual questing for new ones.

Now, all these developments—and some of their surface manifestations, such as the Vietnam war or the civil rights controversy—upend us. And they pose huge, burning, new questions for us. How can we live in a world of large-scale, scientific industrialism, with its marvelous abundance of goods, and vet overcome the concomitant problems of impersonal bigness, of dehumanizing and boring specialization, of stiff bureaucracy, of congested cities, of pollution, of international conflicts? It is our age's dilemma.

This brings us back to student unrest, at last. Many of today's undergraduates—bright, socially concerned, imaginative—sense the revolution. (Very few of them know about it, with all its ramifications.)

Too glibly perhaps, but quite forcefully, they want "change." They want "new approaches," "bold, fresh leaps," and "a new order." Occasionally, as when they want an end to bigness and bureaucracy and international i n v o l v e m e n t s , they are blatant, black reactionaries, hankering like their great-grandfathers for the simple "good old days." (What they forget is that their great-grandfathers also had to draw water from a well, work 12 hours a day, had no cars or indoor plumbing and few colleges, and no e l e c t r o n i c a l l y amplified music. At such times, stuThe Georgia Tech Alumnus

dents reveal their childish contradictions, fantasies, and immaturity about life.)

But frequently, when they force us to remember the human consequences of large-scale, scientific industrial progress, they perform an immensely useful service. And when they urge on us efforts to lessen the unpleasant consequences of rapid technological growthâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from too-easy wars to dirty riversâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;they actually are serving as our leaders, as bringers of faith and confidence in tackling what seem to many of us virtually irremediable problems.

There are two things, above all, that I think are required of all of us these days. One is the capacity to see ourselves more deeply, to study and understand more fully the nature, the premises, the possibilities and the dangers of the profound revolution that we are going through. Only in that way can we intelligently tame it, and heighten its benefits and reduce its drawbacks.

The other is the willingness to see life whole, not just from our remote, partial perspectives. The young tend to see all that's wrong today, all the unpleasant consequences; and they overlook the fact that America is the freest, most democratic, best-educated, most affluent, and finest artistic nation around today. With all America's flaws, it is still the most envied and emulated nation in the world. The older persons, on the other side, tend to see all that's rosy today, all the rich consequences of modern democracy and technology; and they tend to neglect the social injustices, the pockets of poverty, the psychic damage, the chemical poisoning of our bodies, and the inflexible militarism that is still in our midst.

Worse, they seem to drag their feet when it comes to correcting these, and other, serious problems. As has always been the case, all of us have much to learn from each other, if only we listen in a spirit of openness and tolerance.

It has always been a tough world to live in. Before industrialism, we had plagues, and before that dinosaurs.

Life is fundamentally difficult and tragic, as the greatest writers have told us. To understand that is one mark of a truly educated, wise person. But that is only half of the understanding required. The other half is to realize that men, armed with God-given intelligence and imagination can wrest an amazing degree of freedom, beauty, justice, comfort, November-December 1968

CHARLES BROWN Senior IE

or does not, I think it lies close to the bottom of student unrest.

Last winter there was a lecturer on the Georgia Tech campus by the name of Dr. Timothy Leary. I don't know how many of you are familiar with Dr. Leary and his views. Dr. Leary is one of the leading advocates of the use of marijuana and LSD. Certainly, Dr. Leary is not what you would consider a conservative. But he says something that I think that we can parallel to the problem that we are talking about today.

That is; that in not quite as advanced cultures around the world there comes a time when the chief or leader decides that he should step down and let the younger man take over because he feels that he can no longer carry out his duties. This may be tradition or it may stem from a number of things, but it is strange that the same thing doesn't happen in America. I am not saying that everything is wrong with those people over thirty, but I do find it interesting that in a basic culture it takes place whereas in an advanced culture it doesn't. I don't think there is any one in the room who will disagree with me in that in the 23 years since Hiroshima the world has changed drastically.

â&#x20AC;˘ BROWN: I'd like to first apologize or, perhaps, sympathize with the alumni. I know that you have been told that there was going to be a conservative and a liberal student representing each view and it must be difficult sitting out there trying to decide between my sideburns and his beard as to who was the conservative. I would like to say that I am supposed to be the conservative and I asked that they alter that somewhat and say moderate because after all I do have sideburns and I do have to give in a little bit. I would also like to apologize if I look a little tired. The alumni will be glad to know that things haven't changed all that much in respect to Homecoming.

I was up pretty late working on Homecoming displays.

What I would like to do this afternoon is to give my thoughts on what has been loosely termed "student unrest" on American college campuses.

I don't think you can get very far in a discussion on this topic without running head on into the so-called generation gap. A lot of people don't believe it exists. A lot of people do believe it exists. But whether it does

It has been told to me, I don't know whether it is true or not, that psychologists say that in the first five years of our lives we develop the basis for most of the attitudes that we wiH carry the rest of our lives.

And here we have leaders in America who were born before Hiroshima, before the atomic age, suddenly leading us in the atomic age. This is no reflection on their intelligence, but many problems that exist now were non-existant twenty years ago. I saw a cartoon the other day which more or less reflected this. It showed a boy of about nine or ten giving a commencement address at his graduation from grammar school. He was saying "When we turned to you for help in solving our problems what was your answer? Hi-ho, hey-hey, chew your little troubles away."

I know that I am beginning to sound like anything but a conservative. I do think that we have one more thing to talk about. Columbia has been mentioned. We all know of the activity at Northwestern and Chicago this summer. I don't think the actual events need be discussed.

The important thing is the reason behind them. I'm fairly proud of

and harmony from the tragic human condition. It takes work, brains, dedication, daring, and a big heart.

At its best, the student radical movement calls us to work harder, to be more daring, to have a bigger heart. It's an important call. Despite its occasional naivete, frivolity, and nihilism, student activism is a valuable response to contemporary scientific industrialism.

ward to a little longer than a year to go, I have more or less changed my views about what higher education is and what it is supposed to be. I think if you will all think back to when you aH were freshmen, you saw Georgia Tech as higher education. There was nothing better than Georgia Tech and you couldn't get a finer education anywhere in the world, as far as you were concerned.

Well, this brings up the point that education is self-destructing. We come with that attitude and we start going to school. We start taking our physics, our math, our chemistry, a little bit of social science and maybe, if you are lucky, a foreign language. And after we have been given a taste of higher education we have a funny feeling that there is a lot more to it. It is strange, but if you had not gone to school then you probably never would have thought of that. People who live in slums, people who have never had a formal education could care less, it seems, about pulling themselves up and rising in the ranks of society. It may well be that this stems from the fact that they have never been given an education. They don't know how to use their mental capacities to realize higher goals. This is something that alumni and educators should consider, that once you are given a little bit of education, once given a taste of it, the desire becomes insatiable. T h e people are going to demand more. I think that a lot of our student unrest stems from this. They now have an education. They know what it is like and they know what they wish it could be. They are going to come and ask the administrators to consider their reforms. More often than not, they are ignored. An outlet has to be found somewhere and often the outlet ends in violence. It is a pity that every one over 30, it seems to me, is trying to be 21.

Every one is trying to be young . . . you know the pause that refreshes, think young, be young . . . and they go along all the way. They spend millions of dollars on make-up, clothes, and turtle-neck sweaters, but when it comes down to the point of our ideals, what the young people really think and feel, they quietly turn around and say, "We are older, we have the experience." I, at times, question the amount of experience that the older generation, the x + 1

being a member of what could loosely be termed the now generation, but I question the sanity of some of my fellow young adults in some respects.

It seems to me that if a persons is a member of a minority group that the most important responsibility that he has is to convince others (those who don't quite agree with him) that he is right. And it seems to me that, today, these pockets of resistance, as they have also been termed, forget about this. They are out of the main stream of American society and could actually care less about what the rest of America says or thinks about them.

I think a working example of this can be found in the civil rights legislation and the programs of the recent years. For example at the beginning of 1964, it was told to the people in the southern part of the United States that they could no longer work in the system that, they had developed over the past 300 years. They had to integrate and they had to accept the black man as their equal. Well, this came as a bit of a shock, I am sure. I don't really remember (four years isn't long, but I don't really remember), at least I was not fully able to comprehend it a whole lot. But I think that the leaders of the country failed to see just exactly what they were telling the people of the South. They failed to see the interpretation that would result . . . that everything they had learned from their parents and from the history of their region was wrong, and that they were going to have to change it. Well, their first natural reaction was to resist this. I personally can't blame them.

I am an advocate of human rights in any respect, but I can understand how they would reject it. I think that this is what is happening in these small groups such as the Students for a Democratic Society, whicly.no longer is very small, and others.

They really could care less about what the rest of America thinks. Instead of going out and trying to make them see the points and the issues that they are trying to represent they just raise hell.

There is one other thing that I would like to say. I am a senior now at Tech and after having gone through four years and looking for14

RON VINSON Sophomore IM â&#x20AC;˘ VINSON: Now this whole business of student activism i you can actually say the modern era of it) started with the Berkeley demonstrations in 1963 and 1964 and. of course, it is still going on today. The problem is why this was started, why it occurred. And the reason is simply that in 1963 you began to reach what is fondly referred to, sometimes regrettably referred to, as the Mississippi Summer.

Students from all over the nation went to Mississippi to help out in voter registration. It was the first time that any significant, large number of students ( actually any significant, large number of people in America) had made a commitment to help somebody else with no gain on their own part.

There were many people, who we referred to as the old liberals, who sat home and s a i d "I b e l i e v e in integration. I think that we should have integration." But they lived in their white suburbs, their children were in white schools, and their business associates were all white.

The students went down to Mississippi in 1963 and they started what was actually the beginning of the end of the peaceful civil rights movement. Now what they found when they went down there was that society reacted very violently to them.

If you remember, three workers were killed. And the same danger was exposed to all of the students who were in Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, everywhere throughout the South and throughout the nation where they were working, trying to The Georgia Tech Alumnus

help solve some of the problems of the country. So these students worked in the summer, they were exposed to danger, and they proved their courage. They went back to school in the fall, schools that could say we're "lily white." They went back to the schools where the restrooms were still marked "white" and "colored."

They went back to schools which practice what we call in loco parentis, the university's ancient relationship to the students. The schools said, "All right, you've had a good time this summer. Girls must be in at 11:00 o'clock on week days and 12:00 o'clock on weekends." The curriculum did not particularly pertain to anything that had happened in the country. There was no history course in the involvement of the Negro in the country. In fact the history books ignored the contributions of minority groups, not just Negroes, but Mexicans, Chinese and the numerous other ethnic groups in America.

T h e point that I am trying to make is that when they came back to the campus they said, "We are not going to accept this. You cannot tell me that after I have gone out and risked my life in Mississippi to work for society and have been exposed to physical dangers that girls must be in at 11:00 o'clock on week days and 12:00 o'clock on weekends." T h e curriculum of the university does not pertain to anything that is going on in this country. Universities are following what is referred to as a traditional education, whether it be traditional engineering, traditional liberal arts, or anything of this nature. There are no modern authors; if there are modern authors, they only go up to 1940â&#x20AC;&#x201D;William F a u l k n e r , E r n e s t Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Students need a voice in what is happening on the university campuses. The reason the students need a voice is because the administration has not displayed any courage.

They did not display any courage before the Board of Regents. They did not display any courage before the Legislature when given the opportunity for a university (I am speaking generally, I am sure there have been exceptions) to stand up and say "This is right. We are going to integrate now." They had to wait until someone came and forced them to do it. This situation was familiar all over the country. Even at GeorNovember-December 1968

gia Tech we had only token desegregation in 1961. It is this abdication of responsibility on the part of the administration which has caused the students to say, "All right, if the administration won't do it, then we will."

Now this led up to the point that they began to practice what they had learned in Mississippi, in Greenville, South Carolina, and in Birmingham. This was the peaceful nonviolent technique. T h e free speech movement at Berkeley was a classic example of this. Although the administration had abdicated its responsibilities, it had not yet decided to allow the student to share the leadership and perhaps bring the university to support a more active role in its responsibility to the nation. So then the movement actually began, and you have what has now become the only way for a lot of students to contact the administration.

They simply do what they did in Columbia. This was bad from both standpoints. It is bad from having to try to get the university to accept its responsibilities and to let the students help share some of this responsibility. It is bad for the university. T h e situation at Columbia was, I think, very poorly handled.

I would like to talk about why this has not happened at Tech. A lot of people think that this will never happen at Tech simply because there are not enough people who are concerned with social problems. We have a lot of people here who are dedicated to engineering and science.

We have a lot of people here from small towns in Georgia who are simply not going to get out and demonstrate. The point is that this can happen at Georgia Tech. It didn't take a large number of people to start a revolution at Columbia. It didn't take a great number of people to start the free speech movement at Berkeley. It didn't take a great number of people to start the Russian revolution in 1917. It didn't take a great number of people to start the American Revolution. The point is that it could happen here at Tech.

Now the reason why it has not happened at Tech is that the administration has tried to exercise responsibility in meeting what it considers its role with society. The administration has been open to students. When we have a problem, we don't have to talk to a brick wall.

When the open letter was presented

last spring, President Harrison had groups of students, particularly the organizers, come in and talk about it. They discussed what could be done and what could not be done.

What could be done was immediately taken under consideration and accomplished. T h a t which would take a little longer was taken under consideration. Some of these proposals have not been met, but there are no demonstrations here. We don't go sit in the president's office. We have^an extremely capable administration which will listen and will accept its responsibility.

We have just started this year a course in Negro history to make up for, I am sure, the one-sided education that the students have received on this subject. We have a program where the students go to work in urban areas in Atlanta to help do what we can as engineering students to help promote the betterment of certain ethnic groups. There are plans being instituted here at Georgia Tech for establishing a statewide rural program to get at the heart of what is causing many of the urban problems. It is still in the tentative stage yet, but hopefully something concrete will be done by next February.

In summation, I think the reason why there has not been what we would call student activists or student protests at Tech is not because we do not have concerned people on the campus. The people here are not here solely for an education, they are greatly interested in what is happening elsewhere in the country. The administration is part of this. They are very interested in understanding what is happening also. They are willing to listen. They are willing to allow students to have a great deal of decision in how the university is run. We have students on almost every faculty committee on campus.

We have control through the student council of what money will be spent in the student activities fees. This was one of the major planks of the National Student Association last year. This was what was recommended for the students to go out and protest about. And yet, one day, the administration simply said that they felt the students were responsible enough to be able to handle this and they were therefore going to let them. T h a t is why I think that there have been no demonstrations on the Tech campus. I think that the ad15

for ways to ensure that both they and the students could work to help make Georgia Tech better.

AN EDITORIAL

The Regents take a proper stance on establishing a line over which no man steps

T

HREE WEEKS prior to

the Tech alumni forum on "Student Unrest: 1968," the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia took a calculated risk and issued a firm policy on disruptive campus disturbances. We add that it was a calculated risk because at the time of the statement there were no campus disturbances in progress at any of the universities and colleges that make up the system.

In recent years, governing bodies of universities have avoided such policy statements except after a disturbance had reached the point of no return and the campuses involved were reduced to a battleground.

The theory being that if you made a statement at any other time it might stir u p trouble where there was none at the time.

The Regents should be congratulated for producing this statement which makes it absolutely clear just where the student and faculty member stands when it comes to engaging in any type of violent or disruptive action to gain some end, defined or not defined. And this writer, for one, would like to thank this group of men for having the foresight in establishing the line over which no man may step'without penalty.

T h e full text of this statement follows: T h e Board of Regents of the University System reaffirms its policies to support fully freedom of expression by each member 16

of the academic community and to preserve and protect the rights and freedom of its faculty members and students to engage in debate, discussion, peaceful and non-disruptive protest and dissent. T h e following statement relates specifically to the problem described below. It does not change or in any way infringe upon the Board's existing policies and practices in s u p p o r t of f r e e d o m of expression and action.

"Rather, it is considered necessary to combat the ultimate effect of irresponsible disruptive and obstructive actions by students and faculty which tend to destroy academic freedom and the institutional s t r u c t u r e s t h r o u g h which it operates.

In recent years a new and serious problem has appeared on many college and university campuses in the Nation. Some students, faculty members, and others have on occasion engaged in demonstrations, sit-ins and other activities that have clearly and deliberately interfered with the regular and orderly operation of the institution concerned. Typically, these actions have been the physical occupation of a building or campus area for a protracted period of time or the use or display of verbal or written obscenities involving indecent or disorderly conduct.

These actions have gone beyond all heretofore recognized bounds of meetings for discission, persuasion, or even protest in that: (1)

acquiescence to demands of the demonstrators is the condition for dispersal, and (2) the reasonable and written directions of institutional officials to disperse have been ignored. Such activities thus have become clearly recognizable as an action of force, operating outside all established channels on the campus, including that of intellectual debate and persuasion which are at the very heart of education.

T h e Board of Regents is deeply concerned by this new problem. Under the Constitution of the State of Georgia, under all applicable court rulings, and in keeping with the tradition of higher education in the United States, the Board is ultimately responsible for the orderly operation of the several institutions of the University System and the preservation of academic freedom in these institutions. The Board cannot and will not divest itself of this responsibility.

Of equal or even greater importance, such action of force as has been described above destroys the very essence of higher education.

This essence is found in the unhampered freedom to s t u d y , i n v e s t i g a t e , write, speak, and debate on any aspect or issue of life. This freedom which reaches its full flowering on college and university campuses, is an essential part of American democracy, comparable to the jury system or the electoral process.

For these reasons and in order to respond directly,

and specifically to this new problem, the Board of Regents stipulates that any student, faculty member, administrator, or employee, acting individual or in concert with others who clearly obstructs or disrupts, or attempts to obstruct or disrupt any teaching, research, administrative, disciplinary or public service activity, or any other activity authorized to be discharged or held on any campus of the University System of Georgia is considered by the Board to have committed an act of gross irresponsibility and shall be subject to disciplinary procedures, possibly resulting in dismissal or termination of employment.

The Board reaffirms its belief that all segments of the academic community are under a strong obligation and have a mutual responsibility to protect the campus community from disorderly, disruptive or obstructive actions which interfere with academic pursuits of teaching, learning and other campus activities.

T h e Board of Regents understands that this policy is consistent with resolutions adopted by the American Association of American Colleges in January, 1968, and by the Executive Committee of the A s s o c i a t i o n for H i g h e r Education in March, 1968, condemning actions taken to disrupt the operations of institutions of higher education.

problem comes in the attitude of the administration. You can easily run, I believe, a school of 15,000 or 20,000 students if you have an administration that is concerned over what is happening, one willing to listen, one with sufficient channels open for students. I n other words, they have a strong student government, they have sessions where the administrators go out and actually talk on panels with students and things like this. This is really not limited by size, but what happens is that many universities don't do this.

At Tech, Dean Hanson said last January that he would be willing to go anywhere, anytime to talk with any group of students about any questions that they had about the university. It is this kind of attitude at Tech, and the willingness of the administration to keep communications open, that keeps the flow of ideas back and forth. It is when you don't have this flow that you have your failure to communicate.

BROWN: I would like to add to that, that as far as one losing his individuality as a student of Georgia Tech, I feel that this has already begun. T h e computerized registration is already a reality. There is one incident that I think can more or less illustrate this loss of individuality. I heard the other day that a physics professor who is teaching a sophomore physics course with over 191 people is a stickler for attendance. Obviously, if he called the roll, the class would be over before he ever got to open his book. So he assigned seats and rows to everyone in the class. Each day he comes in with a Polaroid camera and takes two photographs of the class. After class he goes back to the office and looks at the vacant spots in the photograph. If you were assigned one of these seats you are marked absent.

I think that perhaps loss of individuality at Georgia Tech has taken on some unusual aspects.

I think the worst problem at Georgia Tech is not the loss of individuality or the fear of people rioting, demonstrating or sitting in the president's office. I think the problem is the lack of motivation of the students. We suddenly realize that we are not going to class, that we are not studying when we should be studying. We ask ourselves, why do we study and we answer, to graduate.

November-December 1968

Why do we want to graduateâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to get a good job. That seems so far away. It is a year for me, but a year is a long time. A year is a lot of textbooks to go through. When you begin to feel a loss of individuality, the first thing that begins slipping is your motivation.

Q: Does George P. Burdell seat in that class?

B R O W N : I hope h e does.

HANSEN: I might say that I can't speak for the General College, but we can't afford a Polaroid camera in the Engineering College.

Q: Neither of the students have mentioned Vietnam or the peace movement as a part of the student unrest.

It seems to me that to the majority of the students all over the country that this has been a very strong motivating force in addition to the civil rights movements. I wondered if you felt that if we were to have peace, would this change the student movement at all?

VINSON:

The

Vietnam

war

was

simply, I believe, an issue which took support away from the civil rights movement. T h e problem is not that Vietnam caused students to get excited, most students were excited to begin with. I t simply offered them another focal point. T h e problem is not going to be solved when or if we get peace in Vietnam. This country has many problems, and I don't think that the students are the kind who are going to tackle one problem out of 4,000 and upon solving it be very happy. This is a movement that is going to be here for a while. And it is going to be concerned over how to make society better.

One reason why I did not mention Vietnam is that the movement as such has actually died down as a driving force. You take students and you get them interested and involved in rules on dormitory hours and from there you go on to social problems. Now the point has shifted from Vietnam back to civil rights where it started. I t is likely to shift somewhere else, but I don't think that just solving this one problem is going to cause the movement to simmer down.

KELLER: M a y I speak on that for a

moment. I think, with all due respect to Ron Vinson whose presentation

has impressed m e enormously, that one must look at regional differences very strongly. T h e South is the only place where you can hear student radicals call you sir and speak without a single obscenity. I spent a very happy three quarters of an hour this morning with President Harrison talking about an article that I am doing on military involvement on American campuses. H e told m e that to his knowledge/there has not been a single major protest or even a formal complaint of any kind against the very heavy involvement in N R O T C , Army R O T C , Air Force ROTC, here at Georgia Tech.

Now this is something that is almost unique in the nation. I would say that in answer to your question that in various parts of the nation the Vietnam war is one of the major issues. At Columbia during the entire spring there was never once a single demand for any educational reform. N o t a complaint that was lodged h a d anything to do with teaching or personnel. It was quite different from Berkeley, entirely different from Georgia Tech. I t h a d to do mostly with I D A which is the way that some of our faculty try to keep Washington militarists in control by working hand and hand with them and providing civilian review of military procedures and the race situation. So race and Vietnam were easily the key issues in Columbia. Certainly, race was the key .issue a t Northwestern. So I think that you have a special situation in the South that Ron is alluding to. But the national situation, if I may correct him very slightly based on m y fairly extensive travel throughout the country in the past few years, is substantially different in orientation.

Q: I would like to hear comments on a phase that has been neglected here today. There is a large number of student activists who really feel that no possible change can be made under the present structure and therefore they are quite revolutionary compared to these gentlemen.

They feel that nothing short of an overthrow of our system will accomplish what they are seeking. How important are they in this so-called movement and how meaningful are they to all of our lives?

STUDENT UNREST—cont.

VINSON: Let me say, in m y opinion,

that they are possibly more important than people might think.

The revolutionaries, as you called them, are the product of a one-sided education in many respects. I have never been a parent so I wouldn't know how I would handle the situation. But I know how I would hope to handle it. T h a t would be to let my child get the most complete education that he can. T h e risk to bodily harm which some parents seem to feel from putting a child in an integrated school is wrong, to me. If you stand back and look at it, I think you can see just how important it is not so much for the fact that because there is a black child in your sons or daughters school you will get more federal aid to your school district, but because this is possibly the only opportunity that your child will have to talk to someone who is conversely from another society.

There is a definite split in the society.

I think that the revolutionaries are the product of a one-sided, education. One-sided in terms of race, one-sided in terms of what is right and wrong for America, one-sided in the idea that America can do no wrong. Then all of a sudden they get to college and they see it. This is higher education, this is supposedly the apogee. This is as high as they can go in education. They see professors making $20,000 and more who are respected in their social circles who are saying the same things that they have been taught over the last 20 years. They are saying that there actually is no change in sight for America. T h e pendulum swings so fast and so hard that it more or less sticks against the side of the wall, and it is not going to come back. I don't think that all people under 30 are going to end u p as revolutionaries, but I do think that it is important that some people do because it gives an indication of what our educational system over the past 20 or 30 years has donecas far as preparing people for growing up. . •, Q: Dr. Atwood; as an educator, would you care to comment on that statement?

ATWOOD: We haven't addressed ourselves to the question thoroughly enough in the United States. In fact, it has not been addressed very well 18

internationally. T h e growth of the Japanese universities, for example, is a phenomenon that almost exceeds ours. And if you read last night's paper, you saw a degree of revolution going on in J a p a n that far exceeds anything that has yet happened in this country.

The one place in the world that has looked a t this thoughtfully is England. There was a commission appointed a few years ago which just issued a five volume report. This is because England has decided that to survive in this day of science and technology that they must abandon the old idea of the 11 plus wherein the English and European student takes an examination at the age of 11 that determines the course of his life. H e either goes to the university or he goes the technical trade route.

They said furthermore that they were going to be more American than the Americans are. They have set a goal of 50 per cent of all their 18 to 20 year olds to have a college education. You know the history of this country. When m y father was in college at the turn of the century, it was one person out of 25 or 4 per cent of the population. Today we are over 40 per cent and going up a half of a per cent per year. You can draw a beautiful regression line through this. I t just wipes out all of the differences whether there is a depression, whether there is a war, or anything else and it keeps right on going. We m a y get to 50 per cent before too long, if it keeps on the way it is going.

Anyway, the English set a goal.

They now have about 7 per cent of their population in higher education and they know that they can't survive in this kind of world economy with just that percentage of their population well educated. Now how are they going to do it? They came up with the fact that they would in the very foreseeable future have to build 30 new universities. Think of it, on that tight little island, 30 new universities. W h y 30? Because they looked at this question and they said that they were not going to just let Oxford get bigger and Cambridge get bigger and the University of London get bigger. They were not going to take the red bricks that they h a d built the Leeds and the Edinboro a n d so on with and let them get bigger. No, they said that ; there is something called, not maxi, mum size but, optimum size. No-

body can say it exactly because they have never experimented with this.

They have no controls to do it. B u t they figured out that somewhere between five and ten thousand is the optimum side. I t depends on the structure of the university.

If you have the traditional university—an undergraduate college, a graduate school and an array of professional schools around it—it will be larger. If you have engineering, it will be larger than if you don't. If you have architecture, it will be larger than if you don't. So the array of professional schools will influence the size of the university. But they say it is better when one of these schools fills u p to this amount to build another one, rather than to just keep on getting bigger a n d bigger. And I wish, as a taxpayer in Georgia, that we would address ourselves to this question as it relates specifically to the University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, Georgia State and all of the education that we are paying for.

HANSEN:

First

I

want

to

say

to

these two students that I appreciate their being so articulate and so concerned. Thirty years ago when I was a senior in a university there was not one per cent of our class who could say what you have said with the feeling you have.

I am surprised at one thing that you have said, that maybe I just had not realized. And that was, Ron, that the entire student unrest movement revolved around civil rights.

I had never thought of it that way.

I thought that there were other issues, b u t let me go on to say one thing, that a lot of us are not disagreeing with you necessarily, b u t throwing a challenge at you. When this issue came u p at Tech, about Tech's involvement in social problems here in the community, and a student became concerned about it and stepped before the faculty, he was asked, "What have you done about this?" His reply was, "Well, I haven't done anything. I want you to do it. I'm just concerned." This is what bothers the people over 30.

We are willing to listen, we are willing to change. B u t we want you to offer something of a responsible nature to take its place, rather than just to say, " I ' m opposed, so to hell with it." D o something about it. If you offer something better, we'll listen.

about

November-December 1968

â&#x20AC;˘ W H E N A MAN is on the verge of

moving from an area of work where he has spent over half of his adult life into another, h e has the tendency to take a long look at his current profession and do some serious thinking about its future. As I prepare to turn this job over to some one yet unnamed, I find that I am no exception to this unwritten law. And the first thought that strikes m e is that technological education h a s to be one of the most discussed and least understood areas of professional education in this country.

Few people quarrel with the fact that our rapidly advancing technology has been the major factor in achieving for this country the highest standard of living in the history of mankind. Most people take it for granted that our national welfare, our security, and our prosperity, all depend on the continuance and expansion of this technological growth.

Yet, at times it seems to the technological educator that no one outside of college circles realizes that our complete dependence on technological growth has forced radical changes on the colleges and universities responsible for educating the quality scientists and engineers we must have to continue this growth.

Over the past eleven years, I have seen our curricula selection, our entrance requirements, in fact, our entire philosophy of technological education removed from the hands of educators simply because the times in which we live dictate the type of engineer and scientist we must turn out in order to fulfill our responsibilities. As the result of this, there has been a lengthy, constant, agonizing soul-searching on the part of

our country's major technological institutions and universities.

Georgia Tech has done its share and more of self-analysis. T h e most recent self-study of the institution was conducted during the years from 1961 through 1963. T h e results of this study were published in eleven volumes and made available to the faculty, the administration, and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools for their acceditation study of the Institute in 1963. Implementation of recommendations contained in the study, representing both the goals and the direction of Georgia Tech, was initiated immediately following the completion of this report.

And, since that time, we have continued to study, re-evaluate, and update all aspects of the operation of the institution.

T h e latest example of this process is the "Master Plan for Graduate Studies" now being prepared by a faculty committee. T h e intention of this plan is to concentrate resources into areas of special significance to Georgia Tech. I t will include a specific timetable for the accomplishment of these objectives. This planâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and three reports concerning it have already been issued by the faculty writing committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;will reflect opinions, motivations, talents, and interests of the faculty, as well as provide guidelines for seeking and committing new resources.

I hope that such a plan will be developed for the undergraduate education program as well and that it, too, will be continually updated.

These plans have had, and must continue to have, both the leadership of the administration and the recommendations and support of the ma19

REFLECTIONSâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;cont. jority of the faculty. It is primarily a faculty responsibility to constantly revitalize the curricula, both at the graduate and the undergraduate level. This faculty responsibility carried out under the direction of the Deans must involve not only programs and course content but the establishment of equipment acquisition priorities, library acquisition guidance, student counselling, and participation in service activities to the extent they can be financially supported. These service activities include contributions to continuing education programs of a technological nature vital for upgrading engineers, managers, and professional men in business and industry in the advanced developments in their fields At the same time, it is encumbent on the faculty member to bring to the campus the latest information and practices from the off-campus world.

Services must include as well those civic responsibilities to which the technologically-oriented individual can contribute through his professional knowledge. Unfortunately, support for these activities has been extremely small and the "pay as you go" requirement has severely restricted the contributions which Tech might have made. However, in spite of this shortcoming, the programs held on campus and elsewhere and the development of off-campus graduate programs are indicative of a strong interest, a capability, and a desire to serve this need.

Another problem area in technological education of this age is the fact that engineers now work in a broad spectrum of activities ranging from the very fundamental engineerscientist research activities such as solid state and chemical electronics research to the rather routine efforts of classical or "cookbook" engineering. Included in this range is the important area of engineering design, a creative activity that requires talent somewhat different from the analytical ability needed by the engineer-scientist. ! / It is obvious to anyone who has looked at the needs of industry and government for engineers that no one curriculum, or no one engineering institution can possibly hope today to produce an engineer who knows all there is to know about the complex modern engineering problems. Rising' out of this rather general premise \ 20

has been the concept of the engineering team. More and more we must concentrate on turning out engineers who can work as part of the engineering team. This means more emphasis on course areas such as the humanities than past technological institutions have been noted for. To make room for these courses which teach creativity, ingenuity and the ability of the graduate engineer to get along with his fellow men, many of the courses which have long been part of technological education have been abandoned or compressed into a shorter time period.

The main reason for existence In doing this at Tech, we keep in mind that the cultivation of the student is the main reason for our existence. Consequently, every change contemplated in our curricula or educational methods must be first judged according to its effectiveness in achieving this purpose. We must continually recognize that we are dealing with a wide range of talents, motivations and interests. We must continue to develop exciting, forward-looking programs which will provide a challenge for all of our students. Today, more than ever before, we must come up with imaginative innovations in scientific and technological education.

Related to this, Tech has moved ahead in breaking down the departmental barriers so common to the academic world. Interdisciplinary activities have increased tremendously through the efforts of visionary individuals on the campus who sought out their colleagues in a related field in order to apply a team approach to the solution of a specific problem.

Prime examples at Tech of this necessary approach to engineering education for today and tomorrow include the establishment of our School of Information Science, first of its type in America . . . our graduate course in complex systems design which brings together students of different disciplines to spend two quarters to attempt to solve such difficult modern problems as the design of a rapid transit system for a modern city (it might be added here that the final report on the Downtown Rapid Transit System for Atlanta was the most requested publication issued by Georgia Tech this past year) . . . the application of industrial and system engineering con-

cepts to the design of a teaching hospital, which is being conducted by faculty members of the School of Industrial Engineering with help from the faculty at the Medical College of Georgia . . . and the elective programs in systems engineering, also conducted by the Industrial Engineering School with the aid of a faculty committee.

The growth in number and caliber of interdisciplinary programs will continue simply because they are needed in the complex technological field and because of the vision of those willing to cross the existing barriers. Fortunately, in several critical areas, Georgia Tech has competent and interested personnel, who I am convinced will continue moving forward in developing new knowledge, and new competence to contribute to both their own and Tech's academic standing and to the benefit of mankind.

A high caliber of student An educational institution, just as any other complex operation, must be looked at in its entirety. Georgia Tech has been extremely fortunate in the caliber of its student leadership over the past few years, a period when many other colleges and universities were not as blessed. We have had, especially during the past two years, exceptional student leaders on this campus. Even our militants are intelligent and reasonable.

T h e direction and positive nature of the actions of our student council in recent years is testimony of the quality of our student leadership and those who work with them on this campus. But there are other important examples of this positive trend.

During the 1967-68 year, for example, the student leadership developed, and with the help of the faculty, conducted a laboratory instruction seminar which was highly praised by knowledgeable off-campus visitors and by members of the Tech family who participated.

The students of the Graduate Student Senate conducted and presented excellent reports on Married Students' Housing and on the means for air conditioning the Burge and Callaway Apartments. Most of their suggestions have already been put into action.

One group of students representing approximately eight per cent of the student body presented a petiThe Georgia Tech Alumnus

tion to me with some excellent suggestions for establishing means of utilizing the technological know-how of individuals at the institution in the resolution of some of the urban problems that face the cities of the Nation.

The President's advisory Cabinet, made up of student leaders, meets frequently and established during the past year the best communication lines between this office and the student body which have yet been developed.

M y successor will inherit this excellent student leadership, and he will be doubly blessed by an alumni leadership that ranks with the very best among those of all colleges and universities in this counrty. During the past seven years, Tech alumni have been honored with first-place awards in all three of the major competition categories in the American Alumni Council. Tech, the only public institution honored with the Alumni Administration Award this year, had previously won first place in the U. S. Steel competition in fund-raising for four consecutive years and last year received the Council's top award with the University of Georgia for the Joint Tech-Georgia Fund. In this seven years, Tech became the only institution to receive top awards in all of these categories and in the doing of it, brought over $9,000 in prize money to the Institute.

The most successful alumni The Georgia Tech Annual Roll Call, conducted by the Georgia Tech National Alumni Association, had its most successful year in history. A total of 17,483 of Tech's known alumni contributed $511,249.60 to the 1967-68 Roll Call. This is a new Tech record in contributors (the old record was 15,861 set last y e a r ) , in dollars (the previous record, also set last year, was $408,322.95), and in percentage of contributors (54.2 per cent this year compared to 53.2 per cent in 1965-66).

In addition to the Roll Call funds, the Georgia Tech Foundation received $379,373 in special gifts, $231,150 from the Joint Tech-Georgia Development Fund, and over $20,000 in matching gifts and miscellaneous funds to produce the first $1 million year in this important organization's 35-year history.

twentieth-

century laboratories of cancer researchers and industrial scientists, the microscope is still the basic tool for the examination of fine structure in all types of materials. But today, the variety of microscopes on the market is impressive enough to boggle the minds of the non-scientists.

An anonymous man who wanted to see that which his eye could not, developed a simple microscope during the Middle Ages. It is believed that the first compound microscope was that of a Dutchman in the 1500's.

For the observation of microorganisms, Anton Leeuwenhock made simple, but efficient, microscopes in the seventeenth century.

The Analytical Instrumentation Laboratories of Georgia Tech's Engineering Experiment Station maintain many complex microscopes for probing the fine structure of matter.

At Tech, electron microscopy is not a new area of scientific interest. The first electron microscope in the Southeast was installed 22 years ago at the Institute. Capable of direct magnifications of 24 times that of the best optical microscopes the transmission electron microscope was and is a remarkable research instrument.

T h e image on this type of microscope is formed by transmitting electrons through a thin sample which is 23

Solid samples can only be studied after forming a replica of the specimen surface in a rather complex preparation procedure. The replica must then be separated from the sample surface and only then can it be viewed in the transmission electron microscope. T h e inherent difficulty with this procedure is that replicas free from distortions (caused during preparation) have to -be produced. The microscope is ideal for studying very thin specimens at high magnifications—anywhere from 30, 000 to 100,000 times. Under these conditions, the operation of the transmission electron microscope is quite complex.

This complicated and often imperfect process was by-passed in J u l y at Tech with the acquisition of an $80,000 scanning electron microscope which is hailed by researchers as the ultimate instrument in the field of electron microscopy. The Institute is one of four educational institutions in the United States to have acquired the microscope which was imported from Great Britain.

It is such a powerful and generally useful instrument that Tech's researchers are hard pressed to conjure up an area of research to which the microscope cannot contribute. In a short time, it has provided Tech scientists with three-dimensional pictures of cells and chromosomes; something which cannot be done with any other known microscope.

T h e scanning electron microscope ( S E M ) operates by using electrons instead of light rays and electro-magnetic fields instead of glass lenses to provide magnified images. An electron probe scans a specimen which in turn emits second electrons.

These electrons are converted into signals that are projected on a tele- > 24

vision screen in the form of a picture.

T h e pictures (known as micrographs) that are obtained from the picture tube have great depth of focus and are three-dimensional in appearance.

T h e S E M excels in the magnification range below 40,000 times, and furnished great depth of focus far superior to that of other microscopes. There is no distortion because it is always the sample itself and not its replica which is imaged.

Fibers, ceramics, metals and biological specimens can be studied without destruction to the samples. The microscope is providing the only known non-destructive method of imaging small electrical circuits such as semiconductors and similar devices. And, objects with rough surfaces are easily studied under the S E M because of the three-dimensional aspects of the micrographs.

The unique properties of the S E M have made new areas of scientific research accessible. In the biological and medical sciences, in particular, the results have been exciting. The microscope has truly interdisciplinary character as can be evidenced by the micrographs of a rabbit eye or the human aorta which are the results of cooperation in the field of soft tissue research between Tech and Emory University School of Medicine. Structures of the teeth and of the hair are easily obtained at great detail by the S E M and are indicative of several research projects of hard tissue going on at Tech, particularly on mineral components in teeth and bones.

Cell research, dealing with cancer cells or chromosomes is greatly enhanced by the three-dimensional micrographs—possible for the first time —with the S E M .

Against a background of wide-

spread usage by other universities and Georgia industry, as well as by Tech, can the far-reaching value of the S E M be determined. In the area of metallurgy, it may be used for non-destructive testing and for viewing very rough surfaces. An example would be oxide formations on a boiler surface. Micrographs are easily made of a tensile fracture in a soft wire.

Ceramic specimens which are usually very difficult to prepare for transmission electron microscopy can be detached from a solid sample without rupture. T h e S E M can reach a range of magnifications for ceramics which cannot be achieved with any other instrument.

Paper, another material extremely difficult to study by any other microscope, becomes easy and uncomplicated for examination by the S E M . Mineral compounds added in the process of making paper can be identified clearly in their true dimensions. The study of fibers is another area where the S E M will yield unambiguous results with ease whereas it is very difficult to obtain similar micrographs with the transmission electron microscope or a light microscope.

Not only are the SEM's micrographs of significant scientific and industrial value, but they are intriguing from a visual and artistic standpoint as the pictures on these and the following page indicate. The eye of the ordinary housefly magnified 50,000 times takes on the appearance of a pre-historic monster. T h e moon's surface might be imagined to appear as a ceramic specimen does at 11,000 times magnification. The best abstract in New York's Guggenheim Museum could not be more appealing than a paper surface magnified 22,000 times.

HERE COME THE UCE A new program aimed at acclimating high school students to Tech life early gets underway â&#x20AC;˘HERETOFORE, the lowest life form at Tech has been the rat. T h e rat is indoctrinated and brainwashed upon first setting foot on campus. H e realizes in short time that he is despised, considered worthless, and, beyond a shadow of a doubt, is completely inferior in every aspect to every other Techman. This fall, Tech still had its rats, but an even lower life form was introduced to an unbelieving student body. They called them mice. Two dozen of them. T h e sight of a perplexed student plodding the campus with a "mouse" cap on his or her head was a jolt to many an upperclassman.

There was joy in the ranks of the rats.

The Tech mice, all 24 of them, are top twelfth grade science students from eleven high schools in the Atlanta area. They are full-fledged 1 freshman students at Tech under a \ program unique in engineering col26

legesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Joint Enrollment Program for High Schoolers. J E P H S was the idea of Dr. William F. Schutz, Professor of Civil Engineering. H e recognized that a certain number of twelfth grade high school students are capable of undertaking studies at Georgia Tech without completing their twelfth year. Thus, Schutz formulated the early admission plan involving joint enrollment at Tech and the student's high school.

T h e essence of the program is that the two dozen mice are jointly enrolled at their regular high school as twelfth graders and at Georgia Tech as special undergraduate students with assurance that they will receive their high school diploma on schedule. All work taken by the mice is applicable toward a Tech degree if it was included in the particular curriculum undertaken by the student.

Of 26 applications to the program, The Georgia Tech Alumnus

24 students were offered admission.

The students represent the school systems of: City of Atlanta, Cobb County, Fulton County and Dekalb County. Of the 24 mice, seven are of the female variety. Schutz pointed out that nine were planning to come to Tech before they heard of J E P H S .

Another five of the mice were going to consider Tech as one of several possible colleges. "This left ten students who were not even going to consider Tech as a possible college," Schutz said. "After being exposed to the J E P H S program and to Georgia Tech through Freshman camp, 23 of the 24 students now say that they will consider Georgia Tech as the permanent undergraduate college." H e notes that it will be interesting to see what effect the year will have on their final college decision.

Of the two dozen mice, only one is not taking a "full' course load at November-December 1968

Tech. The remaining 23 students are carrying between eleven and twenty hours during fall quarter with an average of fifteen hours. Schutz estimates that the average mouse will have a better grade point average than the average freshman.

"They're finding out that college is not like high school," he maintains. "All but two of the students have signed up for an intensity in his or her work load for the winter quarter. Not a single mouse has asked to drop a course."

In addition to adjusting well to Tech, the mice are what Schutz calls "missionaries" back in their own high schools. One of the mice spoke to the ninth grade Parents-Teachers Association in his high school about the J E P H S urging that the program be given more impetus.

Schutz maintains that whether or not the mice come to Tech next year, that both they and Tech have

benefitted. "This will give them a richer experience in college and help them develop their full potential."

During the fall quarter, Schutz has served as advisor and friend to the mice. "Don't lose your I D card. . . . Tech students seldom sell their technical texts. . . . There is going to be confusion when you try to find your class. . . . Don't get involved in a mass riot or any trouble, or you'll be back in high school. . . . We want to get you so involved in Georgia Tech that you won't apply to five other colleges."

The future of J E P H S at Tech looks promising. Schutz states that another ten to fifteen mice will be admitted during winter quarter. Next year, he hopes to have around 100 students in the program. His motive in increasing the number of mice at Tech is simply explained: "I wanted to see more well-qualified students from the Atlanta area come to Tech."

The most emotional moment of the season came when Kenny Bounds (49) caught the Jack Williams pass that beat Tulane, 23-19, with but 45 seconds on the clock. After this celebration, Tech had nothing to cheer about.

The suddenly high hopes for this Tech team came crashing down halfway through the Tulane game when Larry Good was injured

THE UPS AND DOWNS OF 968 â&#x20AC;˘ T H E 1968

JACKETS started on

an

unexpected high note by winning four of their first six games but in that sixth one they lost Larry Good, the heart and soul of this team, and collapsed in the stretch to end the season with the four-and-six record the experts had tabbed them for back in September.

In those first six games, the Tech squad played collectively over their heads because of the inspiring presence of Good, who gave every indication that he would become the finest passing quarterback in Jacket history. But without Good to control the ball and Eric Wilcox, injured in The Georgia Tech Alumnus

preseason drills and ineffective much of the year, to rally the defense, Tech came up a cropper in four games.

In the opener against T C U , Good began the year by hitting 10 of his first 11 passes to stake the Jackets to a 10-7 halftime lead. The defense then took over and held the muscular Frogs away from the end zone for two long quarters until with less than two minutes remaining, Tech got the ball on the T C U 14 and went in for the score on four plays. Dennis James scored the final touchdown on a twoyard sweep after Good had set it up with a seven-yard run. Duncan kicked the field goal in the first period and after T C U went ahead, 3-7, Good hit on five of five in a 71-yard drive that he climaxed with a pass to Tommy Chapman for the score.

T h e Jackets battled Miami down to the wire in the second game and came within a pair of fumbles of upsetting the Hurricane. Tech scored first on a 58-yard drive which feaSecond unit tailback Gene Spiotta (45) replaced the injured Dennis James in mid-season and was just becoming a real running threat when he too was put out for the season.

November-December 1968

tured a 12-yard pass from Good to Joel Stevenson and a 27-yard pass from halfback Dennis James to John Sias, who broke every Tech receiving record during the season. Good scored the six points on a three-yard run and Duncan added the point that gave the Jackets a 7-0 halftime lead. A Tech fumble at the 40 early in the second half allowed Miami to tie it and another one at the 18 set up the field goal that made the difference. Later, the Tech defense held at the oneyard line in this game where the Jackets won everywhere but on the scoreboard.

In the Clemson game, Good was the Tech offense for the third consecutive week. H e passed for 232 yards and two of the three scores and set u p the third and Duncan's field goal with his throwing. Clemson scored first on a 53-yard drive and Tech came right back to score on a drive that stopped at the Tiger 18 and Duncan came in and made it

3-6. Late in the first half, Tech halted a Clemson drive a t the 11 and then went 89 yards in seven plays with the big ones being a 39-yard pass from Good to Tim Woodall and the touchdown toss of 44 to J o h n Weaver.

Duncan made it 10-6. Clemson took the lead back in the third period on a 77-yard drive that featured the running of Buddy Gore, the great Tiger tailback. B u t Tech recovered a fumble on the Clemson 28 and went in with James scoring. Duncan made it 17-13, Tech. In the fourth period, Tecffscored following an interception

by Derrell Parker at the Clemson 35. Good hit Stevenson from the seven for the score. Clemson closed it to 24-21 on a freak play as the clock showed zero. Ammons hit Sursavage for a long one following the Tech kickoff and then found him again at the Tech one where he was knocked down, fumbled, and then crawled across the goal to recover for the score. Clemson made the twopointer.

Good set a pair of new records in Tech's 7-24 loss to Tennessee that was much closer than the score indicated. H e threw 63 times and completed 25 of them, both new Tech records but oddly enough, he was having his poorest day of the season as the receivers were dropping the ball all over the field. Fumbles on both sides caused by the hard hitting made the game a Mexican standoff for the first 25 minutes. But Tennessee came to life to score 10 points following a pair of Tech fumbles in the final five minutes. T h e first time they got the ball in the second half, the Vols traveled 69 yards in 8 plays to make it 0-17, but Tech came right back with an 83-yard drive in 12 plays to close it to 7-17. John Weaver's running and Good's passing featured this drive with Good throwing to Sias for the score. T h e Vols added another touchdown on an 85-yard drive in the final period and held Tech away from the scoring zone on two occasions to win it.

T h e Jackets and Good hit a peak together in the greatest comeback in modern Tech history when they spotted Auburn a 14-point first-quarter lead and then roared back to claim a 21-20 victory. Early in the first period, Auburn's Hurston broke up the middle and shed tacklers left and right as he went 68 yards for the first score. Three minutes later Auburn recovered a fumble at the Tech 20 and went in for the 0-14 lead in six plays. Tech droye to the Auburn 36 29

The defense that was so effective in the early going, even against tough Tennessee, ran out of gas when Good went down and the offense couldn't keep the ball for long.

FOOTBALL - cont.

went down and, for all intents and purposes, out. Ken Bonifay came in where the Tigers recovered a fumble and finished the drive with Snow but on the next play, the Jackets again going over. T h e Jackets were in recovered at the Auburn 41 and went front, 16-7, and stayed there until the in eight plays later on a pass from final few minutes when Tulane put Good to Stevenson. Auburn ran it on a frantic drive to close it to 16-13. back to 7-17 on a field goal following Then the Green Wave recovered an a short punt by Tech. But with 18 onsides kick and went right in for seconds left on the halftime clock, the lead at 16-19. With 1:51 remainGood hit Gene Spiotta on a 27-yard ing, Jack Williams came in at quartpass for the score. This one was set erback and hit on five of five passes up by a Tiger fumble, also. In the to take the Jackets downfield for the second half, Auburn added a field winning score which came on a Wilgoal and threatened constantly. With liams to Bounds pass of seven yards 6:09 remaining in the game, Kenny with just 45 seconds on the clock.

Bounds climaxed a 65-yard Tech The Wave made another pass at drive with a three-yard run for the scoring but the clock caught them score that tied it. Duncan calmly put and Tech had won its last game of Tech ahead, 21-20.

Auburn drove deep into could not control the ball long Tech territory but missed a 29-yard enough to keep the weary defense on field goal attempt and Tech froze the the bench for any rest period. The ball for the final minute.

Blue Devils let the Jackets get on At Homecoming, the Jackets were the scoreboard first on an 80-yard cruising along leading a so-so Tulane drive with Ken Bonifay at the conteam, 9-7, when the worst happened. trols. Gene Spiotta, in for the injured Tulane had scored first and added Dennis James, scored from the 2. the point and Tech had called on Duke came right back to make it Duncan for a 21-yard field goal and 6-7 on a 42-yard pass play and the Lloyd Snow for a yard run to climax extra point. T h e Devils then ran it an 82-yard drive. To start the second to 6-21 at the half and to 6-27 before half, Good started another drive at i Tech could get back on the scorethe Tech 18 and on the sixth play \ board at 14-27 with a Williams to 30

Bounds pass good for 20 yards. Duke ran it to 14-40 before Tech closed it to 30-40 with five minutes remaining. But the Devils went 49 yards following an onsides kick that failed for the final point to end it at 30-46.

A cold, windy, wet afternoon killed Tech's passing game and gave an inspired Navy team all it wanted to upset Tech the following Saturday.

The Jackets were down 0-35 before they could score as a result of a Navy 21-point first half and a 14-point third quarter. The draw play, a problem for the Tech defense all year, really caught up with the Jackets on this day and was the catalyst that put the Middies so far ahead so quickly.

Tech scored twice in the final two minutes on a 50-yard pass play from J i m Person to Sias and a short pass to Bain Culton.

Notre Dame was more of the same with even poorer weather for the playing of the game of football. This time, the Jackets gave a good account of themselves for three quarters, holding the powerful Irish to a 0-14 halftime margin and a 0-20 third quarter lead. But in the final quarter, Notre Dame added 14 early points and Tech could pick up but six on a 16-yard pass from J i m Person, who started his first game under the worst possible circumstances, to Steve Harkey, now playing because of the loss of both James and Spiotta.

The Georgia game was the most lopsided from a Bulldog standpoint in the history of the series. Georgia, the best team we observed during the year, ran up 17 points in the first quarter as Good went down again on Tech's first threat in the initial quarter. Tech held off the Bulldogs with a pair of goal-line stands in the second period but the dam broke in the third when Georgia ran it to 0-31.

Tech scored early in the final period on an 86-yard drive that featured Person's passing and running and Harkey's rushing from what we call the double wing squared formation.

The score came on a Kenny Bounds run off the option by Bonifay and the two-pointer, Tech's fourth in five tries this season, was rung up by a Person to Bounds pass. T h e Bulldogs added a safety and another touchdown to make it 8-46, and were standing at the Tech three when the game ended mercifully.

T h e Tech freshmen gave the Jacket fans some measure of comfort by beating the Bullpups 19-18, in the Thanksgiving D a y game for a second win in a row in the series.

New record set in registration GEORGIA T E C H has enrolled a recordbreaking 7,951 students—an increase of 296 over a year ago—for fall quarter graduate and undergraduate studies, according to figures released

by F r a n k E . Roper, Jr., Registrar.

Of t h e total enrollment, 6,662 students are undergraduates. G r a d u a t e students account for t h e remaining 1,289. T h e largest number of women students in Tech's history is enrolled: a total of 132. In the u n d e r g r a d u a t e division, there are 97 women and on the graduate level of study, there are 35 women.

A larger number of women is enrolled in the School of Mathematics with the School of Biology taking second preference. T h e Schools of Industrial M a n a g e m e n t and Electrical Engineering have t h e greater number of male students enrolled.

Another record was set in the enrollment of married students. T h e r e are 1,723 students who are married.

Of this number, 1,694 are male and 29 are female.

Veterans accounted for 200 students with t h e largest proportion—60—enrolled in the M a s t e r of Science deI

V

gree programs.

Last year, Tech enrolled 7,655 stu-

dents and of t h a t number 1,208 were graduate students.

Regents approve name change A CHANGE of name has been approved by the Board of Regents for Georgia Tech's School of Engineering M e chanics. It is now the School of E n gineering Science and Mechanics.

T h e u n d e r g r a d u a t e degree granted by the school will change from Bachelor of Engineering Mechanics to Bachelor of Engineering Science.

Graduates from Engineering Science undergraduate programs find employment in a wide variety of areas— aircraft, automotive, electrical and electronic industries, industrial and governmental research laboratories, and like organizations. " I n response to the future needs of the engineering college, the School of Engineering Mechanics has been working to develop greater breadth in its engineering science oriented endeavors, particularly at the undergraduate level," Tech president, Dr. E. D. Harrison explained.

"As a result of a constant program of revision and addition, the courses offered by the school now emphasize heavily t h e fundamental scientific basis upon which the subject m a t t e r rests. T h e evolution from engineering mechanics to engineering science is a natural consequence of the school's desire to fulfill its role as an integrated liaison group between basic science and engineering at Georgia Tech," he added.

T h e faculty of the School presently consists of 22 full-lime members, of whom 18 hold Doctor of Philosophy degrees granted by 14 different universities. T h e instructional and research facilities of the School are located on the top floor of Space Science and Technology Building I on the campus.

Barnett is new assistant dean A NEW assistant dean for Georgia Tech's U n d e r g r a d u a t e Division has been named.

Dr. Samuel C. Barnett, a member of the Tech faculty since 1946, has been given the newly created post.

Announcement of his appointment was m a d e by Dr. Rocker T. Staton, dean of the U n d e r g r a d u a t e Division.

Formerly assistant director of t h e School of Mechanical Engineering at Tech, Dr. B a r n e t t will continue to teach mechanical engineering on a part-time basis in addition to his new duties.

As the new assistant dean, D r .

B a r n e t t will work closely with faculty advisors of t h e students concerning undergraduate academic programs.

TODAY'S TECH and

en-

gineers from 11 countries converged on A t l a n t a October 6 to take p a r t in t h e three-day T e n t h Biennial Mechanisms Conference.

Highlighting the international event were a n address by a Soviet scientist and a speech by t h e leading American authority on lunar surface locomotion.

Sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers a n d cosponsored by Georgia Tech, t h e conference brought together scientists and engineers to discuss new theories, new designs and new methods for the utilization of cams and gears, linkages, and other mechanical devices, and the study of their kinematic and kinetic properties.

All October 8 sessions of the conference were held at the Space Science and Technology Center, Building III, on the Tech campus.

Addressing the conference a t 12:15 p.m. Tuesday, was Dr. M. G. Bekker, founder of the International Society of T e r r a i n Vehicle Systems. Dr. Bekk e r is affiliated with the Defense R e search Laboratories of General Motors in Goleta, Calif. T h e foremost American authority on lunar surface locomotion, D r . Bekker discussed "Analysis of T e r r a i n Vehicle Systems."

Countries participating in t h e conference, other t h a n the U.S. and t h e U.S.S.R., included R u m a n i a , Italy, West Germany, Sweden, J a p a n , England, t h e Netherlands, C a n a d a and E g y p t (United Arab Republic).

Fourth in a Series

STUDENTS STILL NEED YOUR HELP T H E methods most often used to make a charitable gift are outright gifts of cash or securities.

George Burdell's "Bargain Basement Sale" with APPRECIATED curities:

se-

George Burdell told us of the way in which he utilized appreciated securities to qualify for membership in the One Thousand Club. Here is how he made his "Bargain Basement Sale:" Mr. Burdell sent the Georgia Tech Foundation some 22 shares of appreciated stock. The market value of these shares on the day of transfer was $2,000. Mr. Burdell proposed to sell the Foundation the shares of stock for $1,000, his original cost.

This difference between the original cost of the stock and the fair market value on the day of the transfer (average between the high and the low for the day) was the value of his gift: $1,000.

Mr. Burdell literally gave away his "profit" to the Foundation and avoided a capital gains tax, while'receiving the benefit of a charitable tax deduction and lowering his net taxable income.

(He would have avoided ordinary income tax if his securities had been held for six months or less.)

Summary of Mr. Burdell's (53% income tax bracket) joint return: Value of Securities $2,000 Received from Sale to the Foundation $1,000 Charitable Deduction $1,000 Reduced Income Taxes $ 530 There is no tax to Mr. Burdell or the Georgia Tech Foundation if the securities are later sold.

Note that Mr. Burdell has $1,000 to reinvest, as well as an actual "net cost" for the gift of the $1,000 of only $470. In this case, Mr. Burdell felt he had picked up $1,530 in his total personal finances, through the combined use of deductions and sale of appreciated stock.

Similar advantages apply in your tax bracket.

Georgia Tech is issuing a quarterly publication, prepared by experts, that deals with specific tax questions which must be considered when making gifts to the Foundation.

Among t h e individual states, Georgia still ranks 15th in t h e number of manufacturing employees and 16th in t h e total value added by manufacture, states t h e Atlas. Among seven s o u t h e a s t e r n states, M r . Collins writes, Georgia ranks second in m a n u facturing employees (426,000 workers) a n d third in value added by manufacture ($4,061,000).

Georgia's largest manufacturing employers, t h e report states, a r e textile mills, with over 25 p e r cent of all manufacturing workers; apparel plants, with nearly 16 p e r cent of t h e total; processors of food and kindred products, with 11 p e r cent; a n d m a n u facturers of transportation equipment, with 10.6 p e r cent.

T h e atlas is intended for businessm e n who a r e considering locating new plants or expanding existing manufacturing operations, and for local development groups who need to examine t h e industrial potential of their areas in comparison with surrounding counties.

New jobs come from Tech program APPROXIMATELY

1,450

new

jobs

are

expected to result from Georgia Tech's program of management and technical assistance to Georgia industries in fiscal 1968, according to a report released by the Economic Development Administration, U. S. D e p a r t m e n t of Commerce.

T h e report was prepared for E D A

by Tech's Industrial Development Division, which h a s a contract with t h e Federal agency to assist in t h e industrial growth of 68 counties designated by E D A because of high u n employment a n d low median family income.

I n 46 new business ventures aided

by Tech's I D D staff in fiscal 1968, more t h a n 1,000 new jobs are either being created or show definite promise of early establishment, t h e report states. I n addition, about 450 jobs were created in 45 companies which expanded as a result of m a n a g e m e n t assistance a n d 346 existing jobs were saved in other firms counseled, t h e report says.

T h e 149 individual projects listed in t h e report include assistance t o a wood products manufacturer in J a s per County in diversifying his line of products, aid in setting u p a n improved management organization for a boat manufacturer in Berrien County, advice in reopening a b a n k r u p t mobile homes plant in W o r t h County for t h e manufacture of prefabricated houses a n d a n economic impact study

of a proposed industrial p a r k in Baldwin County.

I n addition to aiding individual firms, t h e staff worked closely with multi-county economic development districts a n d with local development groups. Tech's I D D staff includes specialists in economics, engineering, marketing, business administration, accounting a n d community development.

E D A approved $175,420 i n April 1968 to help continue this assistance project in fiscal 1969. T h e program's objectives a r e to stimulate t h e expansion a n d diversification of existing business and industry; to support t h e formation of new, economically sound enterprises; a n d t o create additional jobs in t h e designated counties.

Unique cooperative research program begins A GEORGIA industry t h a t last y e a r provided housing for 32,000 families is t h e target of a unique research project underway at Georgia Tech.

Staff members of Tech's Industrial Development Division, armed with a two-year, $125,000 grant, a r e initiating a transfer of engineering technology to Georgia's mobile housing industry.

T h e project is entitled " A Demonstration of t h e Application of Technology Transfer Techniques to T w o Regional Industries." T h e Industrial Extension Service at N o r t h Carolina State University will u n d e r t a k e t h e same technology transfer with t h e u p holstered furniture industry in N o r t h Carolina.

F u n d e d by t h e Office of S t a t e Technical Services of t h e U . S . D e p a r t m e n t of Commerce, the study h a s as its purpose to identify new technology particularly appropriate to the two industries and to effectuate t h e transfer of t h a t technology by various techniques.

Matching funds for t h e s t u d y were provided by Tech and N o r t h Carolina State. As technology is developed for each industry it will be exchanged between t h e two states.

Georgia is t h e second largest m a n u facturer of mobile homes in t h e nation. Last year in the state, over 40 manufacturers paid workers salaries t h a t exceeded $15 million. " P r e s e n t in t h e southeastern region of t h e United States economy is a growing segment of emerging industries," said F r a n k Clarke, H e a d of t h e Technical Services Section of I D D . " T h e mobile housing industry is a highly innovative one. W e want to accelerate this rate of innovation." " T h e government h a s spent millions of dollars on research and development i n learning a n d applying new techniques to existing projects, The Georgia Tech Alumnus

for instance, in t h e space industry," said H a r r y J. Stiltz, Tech's project director. " W e w a n t to t a p this vast reservoir of knowledge within t h e government and apply it to state a n d regional industries," he added.

Field personnel in Tech's Industrial Development Division will contact a group of mobile home manufacturers in t h e state. An explanation of t h e program will be made a n d new techniques applicable to t h e industry will be m a d e available on an individual basis, according to Stiltz.

N e w manufacturing techniques will be disseminated to t h e mobile home manufacturers through personal discussions, seminars a n d publications.

T h e T e c h project is being conducted in cooperation with the Southeastern Mobile Housing I n s t i t u t e h e a d q u a r t e r e d in Atlanta. " I n Georgia there is a great need for low-cost housing in small communities," Clarke pointed out. "This need h a s brought about a concept known as 'instant housing.' T h e public's acceptance of mobile housing is increasing."

Stiltz sees the project as involvem e n t in a social problem. " W e are helping t h e urban and r u r a l areas in the state simultaneously," he added.

George Alexander, president of t h e Southeastern Mobile Housing Institute, is a supporter of t h e T e c h project. " T h e industry welcomes outside agencies taking a look at our industry with t h e ultimate in m i n d of improving fabrication techniques and quality components in order to make our product available to the buying public at t h e lowest possible cost," he asserted.

Engineering aptitude test available W I T H I N t h e next decade, the United States will need more t h a n 300,000 more engineers t h a n its engineering colleges will produce at t h e present rate of enrollment. T h e critically needed manpower is going to come from high schools, if a crises is to be averted.

Georgia Tech. in association with t h e J u n i o r Engineering Technical Society ( J E T S ) . is sponsoring a statewide search this year for engineering a p t i t u d e in high school students.

Known as t h e National Engineering Aptitude Search, t h e program features a series of tests which m a y be taken by high school students in grades 9-12. Special emphasis is placed on encouraging ninth and t e n t h graders to participate.

On J a n u a r y 18. t h e aptitude test will be administered at over 20 testing centers throughout t h e state a n d also on t h e Georgia T e c h campus.

November-December 1968

T h e tests cost $3.00 each and application forms a r e available from D r .

F. W. Schutz, J r . , School of Civil Engineering, Georgia Tech, Atlanta, Georgia 30332.

Schutz said t h a t t h e test was given to 636 Georgia high school students last year. T h e y represented 140 high schools in t h e state.

"Among leaders of t h e engineering profession, there is continued national concern t h a t able and talented high school students a r e not being encouraged to consider t h e study of engineering a n d its career potentials," Schutz said.

" T h e r e is a definite need for a mechanism of early identification, t recognition, and continued follow-up \ guidance of high school youth in t h e 1 potentials of engineering," h e continued.

According to D r . Schutz, t h e test scores which are provided t h e student and the high school counselor a r e intended only to help t h e student decide whether engineering is a field of study t h a t he or she might consider following high school graduation. T h e y do not predict whether or not t h e student will be successful practicing engineering.

Kodak offers another kind of professionalism We have the highest respect for the engineer who sets himself up like a physician or a lawyer. He is scarce and probably represents a special situation.

The old tried-and-true brand of engineering is probably needed more today than ever, even if you don't see many ads for it these days. Let us display our courage, then, by admitting right on this page that we do—in power-handling, for example—welcome into our ranks* engineers who can be relied upon to pick the right equipment from the right vendor and give direction on how to put it together in the right way, then keep it running right.

Some engineers will find that exciting enough. Those so constituted *lf you seek supervisory status right from the start, turn your thoughts elsewhere. It is not our way. Promotion, however, can be rapid.

may well prosper with us, particularly if their idea of professionalism does not bar a deepening involvement in the business thinking that supports all the technical thinking. A succession of clients attracted by a shingle on the lawn wouldn't be offering business problems of our scale.

Nor such technical problems either, together with resources for solving them. This would be important to the engineer whose idea of professionalism runs more to keeping current with the technology as it develops after he leaves the campus. When we set about designing systems of digital solid-state logic for on-line process control, when we work out ultrasonics for sealing plastics or splicing aerial film, when we adapt lasers to routine inspection of photographic materials and the control of dirt contamination—that kind of work

isn't done by nipping through handbooks and vendors' catalogs. It calls for going into things a little more deeply than most vendors.

Electrical engineers in search of a realistic professionalism—no more or less than mechanical, chemical, or industrial engineers —are cordially invited to drop a note about themselves to EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY, Business and Technical Personnel Department, Rochester, N.Y. 14650.

An equal-opportunity employer. In Rochester, N.Y., we make photographic and non-photographic products. In Kingsport, Tenn., our Tennessee Eastman Company makes fibers, plastics, and industrial chemicals.
