Ramblin' A look back at one man's 1969 • AS T H E YEARS SLIP BY, m a n t e n d s t o
cling more a n d more to h i s own personal world. And as we reach t h a t time t h a t our children in their kinder moments refer to as middle-aged, t h e theory t h a t sentimentality increases in direct proportion to t h e aging process becomes a very valid one. As December arrives a n d the d e a t h of another year looms around t h e corner (it will be long dead b y t h e time y o u read this issue t h e w a y things are going), it h a s been our custom to look back a t our year, both to m o u r n i t s departure a n d to celeb r a t e our thanks for another 12 m o n t h s of life. H e r e is o n e m a n ' s 1969: T h e sounds a n d obvious strengths of m a n with the craggy, close-toviolent face of somebody who h a s been there a n d back. H i s n a m e is J o h n n y Cash a n d this year was his, the culmination of over 15 years of traveling t h e tough road, writing a n d singing songs about t h e real values of both Southern a n d American life, values seemingly lost in a maze of cries of racism a n d revolution. Oddly enough, h e m a d e it big in a year when more people t h a n ever were questioning t h e sense of history t h a t he stands for a n d some of t h e values he believes in. T h e documentary o n this remarkable talent h i t t h e educational television screens in February with t h e force of a runaway version of one of his beloved trains a n d went on to become a money-making movie. A small girl-child i n t h e household for the first time in over 15 years. T h e spoiling of a grandchild is m a d e even easier when her n a m e is Bridgett a n d she is a pixy much like h e r maternal grandmother, whose ageless charm makes crossing N o r t h Avenue at t h e end of each d a y t h a t much more pleasant. P a u l Weber's retirement party. Two days later h e was back in t h e office working for Tech without p a y . And y o u can count on h i m being u p stairs in this building seven days a week.

T h e r e a r e few more beautiful sights in our life a n d it was m a d e even more beautiful when w e were advised recently on a visit to t h e doctor t h a t t h e move into t h e city likely extended o u r life a few years. Vernon Crawford's performance as acting president. Four times in history t h e Institute h a s h a d to call on men who h a d no desire to b e president to fill a void until t h e proper m a n could b e located. E a c h of t h e m has done a n excellent j o b in a b a d situation. Vernon Crawford d i d a superb one. I n our memory of this campus, there has been no single m a n accorded the universal respect for his abilities a n d for h i s h u m a n qualities as h a s this one. T h e six months h e held t h e position of acting president even enhanced this reputation. A n d the fact that President H a n s e n n a m e d him as his n u m b e r one aide in one of h i s first appointments after taking over t h e presidency was a stroke of genius. If there is such a thing in this world as a "Renaissance M a n " i n this age, h e is our candidate. • WONDERFUL ED'S D A Y . Planned and
executed b y students, this stirring tribute to a m a n who did a superior job of running a college during its 11 toughest years was well deserved. T h e fact t h a t h e h a d enough sense to get out while h e was still ahead added to h i s stature with those who knew him best. T h e only tragedy was t h a t the d a y happened to be selected a s the start of t h e H a r v a r d riots. A n d though t h e wire services a n d t h e local a n d national newspapers paid a great deal of attention to t h e Tech story a n d local television covered i t well, t h e three major networks never mentioned it. T h e y were too busy showing u s those timeless shots of students holding u p their revolutionary banners a n d making their little speeches about relevancy, whatever the hell t h a t is. T h e y could have substituted stock shots from Berkeley, Evanston, Columbia, a n d all of those other places t h e networks love to visit b u t wouldn't want to live in. I t makes u s wonder if perhaps Vice
President Agnew h a s n ' t got something. T h e appointment of A r t h u r G. H a n s e n as Tech's seventh president. W h a t a mistake it would have been not to have given this very bright, very sensitive, a n d very honest m a n a chance a t this challenge. Tech h a s a wonderful habit of coming u p with the right m a n a t t h e exact time in which h e belongs. T o this one observer, even Tech's luck outdid itself in this decision. T h e first look a t t h e St. Lucie Country Club a n d t h a t wonderful river t h a t winds north a n d west into the wilds of Florida. I t remains t h e most peaceful place i n t h e world to this one man. Only its beauty saved our sanity on t h e d a y t h a t t h e call came t h a t Neal D e R o s a was dead. T h a t river is t h e one proper place to mourn a friend. • T H E FINISHING of a book. E a c h time we get into one we say to ourselves t h a t this is the last time. T h e revising of our first one was much more painful than t h e original writing of it. I t was finally saved b y three girls whose names are Caroline, Ann, a n d Linda and they all know how much we a r e in their debt. T h a t "wonderful afternoon of N o vember 29 when t h e J a c k e t s did i n the Bulldogs, 6-0. Only a m a n who had traveled with this team a n d h a d seen it come so close so m a n y times could truly relish t h a t moment when Bubba H o a t s intercepted t h e pass that ended a n y chance of defeat. W e sat in t h e press box for t e n minutes without saying a word, just savoring a win that h a d been so long coming. T h e companionship of people like Jesse Outlar on the out-of-town trips.

The Inauguration of Arthur Gene Hansen as the President of the Georgia Institute of Technology
Seventh was
A Day Full of Pomp and Circumstance l,\
before he was to join the processional that began the solemn ritual of Georgia Tech's first presidential inauguration in some 25 years, D r . A r t h u r Gene Hansen ( r i g h t ) was getting the final adjustments to his academic regalia in a room belonging to W G S T radio. H e then joined some 350 representatives of other colleges and universities and professional and learned societies and a large contingent of faculty and students in the march down to the floor of the Alexander Memorial Coliseum where in a two-hour period he heard a series of greetings, was officially inaugurated by Chancellor George L. Simpson, Jr., and made the address which appears on the pages following this one.

OMENTS
T h e p r o g r a m held November 20 featured a series of short greetings from people important to the Institute. T h e y included J o h n H a y e s , president of the Tech student body; D r . E a r l McDaniel, a Tech alumnus and professor of physics; Braxton Blalock, Jr., president of the Georgia Tech National Alumni Association; Atlanta M a y o r Ivan Allen, Jr., another Tech alumnus; Board of Regents Chairman H . G. Patillo, still another Tech alumnus; and Governor Lester M a d d o x , who grew up in the shadow of the school and made his first major m a r k in the world of business in a location that now holds the Tech Placement Center. Chancellor Simpson then gave the official charge which was accepted in two sentences by President Hansen. This was followed by the installation during which the new medallion of office was used for the first time. This medallion (see cover) will now become an official p a r t of all presidential functions at Georgia Tech. T h e ritual completed, President H a n s e n then stepped to the podium for his official response, a look at the challenges facing higher education in this time and in the future. T h e speech was well received by the audience and much quoted in the press during the following days. November-December 1969
If there was a blemish on the ceremony it was the lack of student attendance. After all, A r t h u r Gene Elansen was their man and the student leaders worked h a r d and long to try and get more students to attend. But then students haven't really changed as much as people seem to think they have. Give them a morning off from classes and chances are they will spend it sleeping, especially after the big inaugural dance of the evening before.
In a speech delivered with confidence and received with enthusiasm, the new president outlines what he considers the most important
Challenges to Higher Education in a Time of Change
I
T IS doubtful that there is an institution of higher education in this land that does not look toward the future with some sense of concern. T o d a y ' s plans, knowledge, and values may be inappropriate or irrelevant in the world of tomorrow where tomorrow is but a few brief years away. Perhaps, as never before, the university is faced with challenges that truly test its capacity for renewal and its ability to maintain the position of esteem and leadership it has so long enjoyed. I would like to outline for you certain of the more important challenges to higher education as I see them and present what I hope will be one institution's response to these challenges. T h e first challenge that I would describe is one faced not only by higher education but by every social structure in our land. I would designate it as The Challenge of a Worried World. T o provide proper perspective for the basis of this challenge, let us go back in time. A t some point in the dim past, primitive man discovered the first tools and eased his labor. A t another time, he wrapped himself with skins to protect his being. A t still another time, he grew his food. T h r o u g h these simple, yet extremely important, discoveries, his mode of existence on this planet was altered and improved—he had found ways to satisfy his basic needs. T h i s ability to satisfy his needs grew with the passage of time. M a n increased his leisure. A n d with this leisure the creative powers inherent in man bore fruit. H e pleased himself and others with art. H e altered his environment further to provide comfort, and, with characteristic inquisitiveness, he sought to understand more completely his world. Perhaps this first conscious effort to comprehend the external world marked the beginning of man's true ascendancy.

As the external world and its governing laws were better understood and as man learned to channel the earth's abundant energy, the ability to create change increased. W i t h every addition to knowledge and with every discovery that reduced labor, the capacity for gaining new knowledge and causing further modification of man's physical environment grew. T o d a y the evidence seems clear. If we measure the growth of stored knowledge or measure by some standard man's technological advances or his utilization of the earth's energy, we find that the indices of measurement exhibit an exponential increase with time. Moreover, the rate of increase also shares this quality. T h u s , it is almost trite to say The Georgia Tech Alumnus
that we are living in times of rapid change. However, we must be careful in using this word, "change." M a n is a creature that adapts readily to change in a physical sense. It is not clear that he adapts with the same ease in an emotional or spiritual sense. In fact, the deep sensitivities of man, his emotional needs, and his basic sense of values seem to have a constancy. External change thus becomes disturbing to our souls. T h e mood of our time and the impact of change has been the topic of many writers and assessments of this mood have appeared in current periodicals. W r i t i n g on " T h e M o o d of America" in one popular magazine, reporter Fletcher Knebel recorded the opinions of a cross-section of the nation. Unfortunately, he found strong currents of pessimism. F r o m his own point of view, M r . Knebel had this to say: " M y own pessimism, deeper than that of most people with whom I talked, is linked to the machine's relentless march across the land, mutilating the green hills, paving the valleys, fouling the sweet air, contaminating the waters and forcing people to spend their working hours tending the very mechanical contrivances that are supposed to serve them. T h e machine does give something in r e t u r n : comfort and convenience. A n d for these twin sirens, a nation's soul is being lost."
During the few minutes remaining before the ceremony begins, President Hansen makes the final changes in his speech and Chancellor Simpson (left) and Tech Regent Jack Adair get robed (below).
Against this backdrop of change, of a nation and a world restless and searching its soul for meaning, in a time of rising expectations that may or may not be fulfilled, we view the university with particular interest and concern. W e view it in this manner because of the exalted position it has held and the claims that it has made to justify its existence. It claims to be the preserver of the finest of man's heritage and the instrument through which this heritage is transmitted to the future. It claims to be the critic of society and the pursuer of truth wherever it may lead. W e do not doubt that it has been true to these claims within the limitations and inherent weaknesses of any human enterprise. But it has become more. I t has become a significant agent of change. T h r o u g h its discoveries, through the application of its knowledge, it has contributed significantly to the shaping of our present world. Its scholars are sought for advice in the highest levels of government. Its participation in the manifold activities of every phase of our national life has been thorough and significant. But now a time for reflection is in order. H a s the university contributed to the worry of the world or kept us from being even closer to the edge of despair? H a s the university been more self-seeking than society-serving? H a s the university clung to the outmoded values of the past, unwilling to change, or is it the leader in creating new values for the future? H a s truth and its high pursuit been tempered by expediency or is the display of truth unrecognized for what it is? Is the mission of the university the same today as it was at the time of its creation? Does it have a new role, a new mission, not yet articulated, that once set forth will make it more able to serve a society searching for values, and a way of life commensurate with man's deepest needs and lesiresi T h e answers to these questions are not simple. But I would propose that the questions be asked. T h e university has cherished the need to be apart from the w o r l d — to provide the long view. T h e fact of the matter is that the university

is now very much a part of the world and will continue to be so. T h i s is the reason why The Challenge of a Worried World is one of great significance that must be recognized and met. T h e next challenges to the university that I would describe are more in the nature of harsh realities. They must be recognized for what they are on the p a r t of any university looking toward the future. I would categorize the first of these as The Challenge of Numbers. T h e r e is little doubt that the average American feels a desire to send his daughter or his son to college. W i t h growing affluence this desire is being realized within an increasing number of families. College enrollments have grown at a fantastic rate. T h e medium size universities of the 1940's have become multi-universities. Junior colleges and four-year colleges have sprung up in almost every center of population. As disquieting as this growth in higher educational enrollments has been to those who must provide for it, the end may not be in sight. One cause is that the concept of higher education is indeed changing. A vice-president of one of our large corporations commenting on this changing concept r e m a r k e d : "College becomes the only gateway to rewarding jobs in the adult world. Some adults criticize student rebels on the grounds that these young people do not understand that a college education is a privilege. T h e y are mistaken. They are thinking of a world in which they were brought up, not today's world. A college education is no longer a privilege. It is a necessity." W h e t h e r or not you may agree with a college education being a privilege or a necessity, the demands for greater educational service from the universities will certainly exist in the years ahead. The Challenge of Numbers goes beyond enrollment figures. T h e r e are other numbers that must be reckoned with and these numbers have dollar signs in front of them. In the last ten years, expenditures for higher education have risen by a factor of three and looking down the road, this trend will increase. In the last eight years, state tax support of education has risen an incredible 214 percent to meet the rising costs. And still the picture looks bleak and certain experts viewing the future have stated that colleges and universities may very well be facing what they term a serious financial crisis. In more specific terms, what will The Challenge of Numbers mean to us in higher education? First, we all suspect that a greater crosssection of our taxpayers will want the benefits of a college education for their children. T h e y will not be put off readily by claims that these children are not prepared for college because of inadequate preparation in elementary and secondary schools. Yet, colleges wishing to maintain admissions standards will be hard pressed to respond. T h e y will be increasingly pressured to find answers to this problem, even though its causes may be beyond their direct control. W h e t h e r the admissions problem will grow remains to be seen. But one fact is certain—the taxpayer will be asking hard questions. H e will want to know the nature of value received from the tremendous expenditures being made. T h e public educational enterprise will be scrutinized as closely as all other public agencies. T h e day when icolleges and universities could stay aloof from continually demonstrating their worth to the people who underwrite their operation has passed. The Georgia Tech Alumnus

" / would guess that the emphasis on basic research will be reduced in favor of programs that relate to problems of immediate public concern." November-December 1969
I would like to call the third challenge that the universities are now facing, The Challenge of Meaningfid Service. T h i s challenge relates to the role of the university in producing new knowledge through research and then employing this knowledge to benefit society. First, let us note that in this era of research, the universities have not been without support for this activity. T h e rate of expenditures for research and development in the United States has, until recently, been higher than the growth rate of the gross national product. But unless all of our resources are to be used eventually for research and development, a time for leveling off must come. This is apparently beginning now and with it has come a very careful look at how available resources are being used. Can we predict at this point in time what the support for research might be like in the immediate future? N o t easily, but I would guess that the emphasis on basic research will be reduced in favor of programs that relate to problems of immediate public concern. T h i s seems especially evident as social problem areas multiply and funding becomes more limited. D r . J a m e s A. Shannon, Special Advisor to the President of the National Academy of Sciences, puts the matter like this: " I t seems likely that the period 1945-1965, particularly in the last decade, will be viewed in retrospect as the time when U.S. science reached the summit of broad uncritical public support—what might be called the 'Augustan E r a ' of American science." In describing the tasks that currently face the scientific community, he goes on to say: " . . . the scientific community must devise means of fostering a broader understanding of the revolutionary technological forces that can be unleashed by vigorous science for the betterment of society." D r . M y r o n Tribus, recently appointed Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Science and Technology, echoes the same sentiment: "People are the urgency. T h e y have backed massive spending for research and development because technological change has enriched their life. T h e y will turn against research and development if technological change begins to encroach on their health, their comfort and their pleasure in the environment. Technological change will encroach in these areas unless a new breed of engineer learns to design for compatibility between man, machine, and environment. It is that simple." T h u s , those educational institutions concerned with science and technology in particular should keep one primary thought in mind. Science and technology must serve for the betterment of mankind. D r . Rene Dubos put it quite succinctly when he said, " W e must not ask where science and technology are taking us, but rather how we can manage science and technology so they can help us to where we want to g o . " The Challenge of Meaningful Service will place strains on many university structures where research is often a personal activity conducted for the recognition of peers. It will put strain on the high walls between departments that have programs of a specialized nature. Clearly, problems that concern mankind cannot be put into neat compartments. It will cause a reevaluation of basic research. W e hope that this most important activity will not be seriously curtailed. But we may have a 11

separation of the trivial from the essential at last and this is overdue. T h e final challenge I would touch on today is The Challenge of the Students. Discounting that relatively small group of students who feel that the educational establishment is an evil that must be destroyed, let us recognize t h a t there is on our campuses today a new breed of students. These students are voicing certain concerns that the universities should heed. Let me preface these remarks by saying that a greater number of young people than ever before now reach the status of adulthood while still in the university environment. T h e y share the concerns often voiced by the adult population. T h e y have the capacity to be productive economically and are capable of responsible action relative to a family life or in service to society. T h e s e capacities and capabilities were often realized by non-college youth of former times. F o r today's college population, the direct involvement in full adult life is limited by the university environment. T h e sense of direction and purpose often found in earning a living or raising a family is often lost in this environment. This loss, believe me, is more keenly felt by youth who are better informed, more mature and better educated, and hence more capable of functioning in adult roles than youth in previous generations. Therefore, it should not be surprising that they feel resentment toward paternalistic control of lives by university authorities. I t should not be surprising when students question the relevance of educational offerings. It should not be surprising when students who are concerned with justifying their way of life or who are seeking meaning and direction as young adults ask that a university define its goals and objectives. Above all else, we now have a generation of students who are attempting to be honest and who ask candid questions that drive to the heart of basic issues. If a university is indeed a place where ideas are examined with objective rationality, where change is encouraged, and the status quo is open to critical analysis, then it should indeed be willing to engage in dialogue with its students. T h i s does not mean abdication of responsibility, disregard for faculty wisdom, or change for the sake of change. I t is simply a recognition of a new context and a new tone on the campus, an indication of a responsive attitude toward those whom it hopes to educate. T h u s , we have the four challenges: The Challenge of a Worried World, The Challenge of Numbers, The Challenge of Meaningful Service and The Challenge of Students. Looking at this particular institution, the Georgia Institute of Technology, are we meeting these challenges? T h e signs indeed are hopeful. T h e r e are activities in a number of quarters relating to ways of broadening student life. T h e r e are those on the campus who are trying to find ways of building spiritual anchor points and who are attempting to install meaningful views of life in our students. But, we have a long way to go and this concerns me. The Challenge of Numbers is being met by action to review the broad spectrum of educational activities in the State and to see how these activities might be coordinated to better service a wider population. Planning for more efficient use of resources is under way and action is being taken to utilize the total strength of the educational community The Georgia Tech Alumnus

existing beyond the confines of our campus. The Challenge of Meaningful Service is being met through broad programs that have as their goal the improvement of our society. The Challenge of Students is being answered through curriculum revision, student participation in service activities, and student involvement in planning. W e will provide greater opportunities for our student to express his concerns. W e will listen and respond. Fortunately, we are blessed with an exceptional, positively-oriented student body, willing to work. A n d this is our strength. W e have not met all of the challenges in a satisfactory manner. But, we are aware of their significance and are moving ahead to respond. W e must and will demonstrate that we are capable of self-renewal and positive action. Keeping in mind the need for growth and change, I would, nevertheless voice a hope and a warning. I would hope that the universities of this land do not lose sight of their uniqueness and true mission. W e must keep in mind that a university cannot be all things to all people. It is'not a social agency capable on its own of resolving every social ill. I t should not be so sensitive to its critics that it loses sight of its primary mission of education and its unique contributions in the realm of service and research that result from scholarly activity and reasoned inquiry. I am weary, oh so weary, of the university being the willing whipping boy of the alienated and disenchanted members of our society. I t must not allow itself to be wrenched from its position of prestige because it is particularly vulnerable to pressure. In spite of its obvious shortcomings, and I am surprised that there are not more, the university has been an island of free inquiry and debate for scholars. It has kept excellence in disciplines through the process of continual review and accreditation. I t has preserved the freedom of the individual instructor through a carefully guarded tenure system. H i g h e r education has allowed great flexibility of program choice through the offering of multiple degrees. I t has encouraged the development of a variety of colleges and universities that have wide ranges in standards. Campus freedom has improved. T h e student newspaper, often extremely critical of an institution, has enjoyed the benefits of freedom of the press. In spite of the present turmoil, the university remains as an institution where the student who wishes to study and discipline his mind has the opportunity to do so. M y fear is that faculty, administration, and students may lose sight of the good that has been achieved over the past centuries. Perspective must be kept. T o yield to every demand for the sake of "keeping peace," and to forget the basic principles by which any society lives and works together in a state of harmony will destroy us and all that has been gained. Recognizing, then, the qualities that have merit and should be preserved let the university restructure that which needs restructuring, plan with optimism, and have the courage to pursue objectives well-defined and relevant to our day and time. A n d so to the faculty of this great institution, I say, consider with care your personal commitment and its meaning. Think through thoroughly the nature of your educational programs. A r e they indeed 13

"Education should make clear that each man has a high mission on this earth and that each of us must carry in his heart a dedication to serve with humility, reverence and joy.'

serving the best interests of our students? Ask yourselves how you will determine that these needs are being satisfied. M e a s u r e the significance of your scholarly output in a time that cries for meaningful contribution from every member of society. Reevaluate your relations to your students. A r e you indeed willing to share with them, heed their needs for personal recognition, and be willing to work with them in ways t h a t develop dignity, responsibility and independence. T o all of us who serve the public through the medium of education and receive its support, I ask that we keep uppermost the highest principles of stewardship. Let responsibility and honesty be perpetual watchwords in all that we do. T o the public I say, in turn, that it will be our purpose to satisfy many of the multiple needs that you have placed on our doorstep, yet respect our desire for excellence, our limited capacities to satisfy all demands as a single institution, and to meet every request with equal capacity and skill. W e will be sensitive but steadfast in pursuing those endeavors that we do uniquely and best. T o our students I say that it will be our hope to give you the finest education possible and to make you competent, contributing members of society. W e will often appear to be slow in our response for reasons that are not clear now but will become more clear to you as you fully participate in the world beyond the frontiers of college. W e welcome you as partners and in doing so expect maturity of judgment, respect for reason, responsiveness to the demands scholarly inquiry, and a willingness to have ideas tested in practice. W h e n we, as fallible human beings, fail in following these same precepts, we hope that you will be our benevolent critics. Above all else, I hope that many of you, as students, retreat from positions of extreme seriousness and pessimism. T h e pessimistic person cannot be a future leader of our society. Somewhere deep in the soul of this nation is an unquenchable ray of optimism. A t the beginning of this talk, I referred to an article on the mood of America. M o r e important than the sense of uneasiness discovered by the writer of this article, was the unshakable conviction that this nation has the capacity to solve its problems and move to higher ground. If we who educate do not impart this sense of optimism, do not temper despair with hope, do not in some way point out to you that the victory is worth the battle, and do not convey the thought that life has ultimate meaning and is empty without a sustaining faith, then all of our efforts will, in the final analysis, have been in vain. Education should make clear that each man has a high mission on this earth and that each of us must carry in his heart a dedication to serve with humility, reverence, and joy. These are, after all, but my personal aspirations and admonitions. N o college president can guarantee that they will fall on fertile ground and bear fruit. H e is but one worker in the field. T o g e t h e r , with all working and sharing the vision of what Georgia Institute of Technology might be, free from doubt, receptive to change, committed wholly and completely to the resolution of the difficult problems that lie ahead, the ground shall bear fruit. Let this, our segment of the total society, never ibe characterized by disillusionment and despair. W e have a job to do. W i t h joined hands and lifted, willing spirits, let us be on with it.

The Hansen Family just before the reception that began the long two- days, left to right: Jim, Mrs. Hansen, Christine, Paul, President Hansen, Ruth, and Geoffrey.
Bracketed around the big event is a group of tiring social events M O R E than anything else, an inauguration is a test of physical stamina. T h e H a n s e n family—shown in the portrait above which was made during the final quiet moments before the two-day storm of events began—went through the whole thing with calmness, dignity, and a great deal of joy. And the whole thing consisted of a formal reception, a faculty preinaugural dinner, a student-faculty dance, the formal inaugural ceremony, and the final luncheon for the delegates. W h e n the hand-shaking and speech-making and clothes-changing and all of the rest of it ended just 21 hours after the above picture was made, the new president returned to his office to clean up some details before regrouping his forces for a private family dinner. On the pages that follow, you can learn more about the 21 hours.

From the beginning of the grueling 21 hours at the reception line (left) to the final break-up of the delegates luncheon (above), the Hansens had few moments to call their own.
The students had their big event, a dance at the Coliseum on the night before the inauguration and Student Chairman Rich Speer presented Mrs. Hansen with a gift from all of them.

President Hansen summarizes Tech's work over the years in the surrounding area
POSITIVE ACTION SINCE THE THIRTIES MAK GEORGIA TECH A MEMBER OF THE COMIV UN f • IN its formative years Georgia Tech was located on the outskirts of Atlanta but, with the rapid growth of the city, the also-growing young college was soon locked into a rather restricted area; a not uncommon occurrence in the case of urban institutions. Because of this condition, Tech became immersed quickly into a n environment of problems peculiar to our urban areas. Throughout its history, the institution has always attempted to act positively towards these problems. Perhaps the prime example of the historic role Tech has played in the development of its surrounding area took place in the thirties when one of the worst poverty areas in Atlanta's history stood on the Southern perimeter of the campus. In 1933 the Techwood Advisory Committee on Housing was formed with the late Dr. M . L. Brittain, Tech's President from 1922 to 1944, as its chairman. T h i s committee set about to do something about t h e Techwood area which Brittain called, "a f Wretched district, crowded with run-down, unsanitary frame shanties, and a n eyesore." T h e Committee, p r i n c i p a l l y through President Brittain's strong speeches a n d political maneuvering, fought through a series of obstacles placed in its path by vested interests, a n d by the fall of 1933 h a d convinced the 18
Housing Division of the Federal P u b lic Works Administration to make Techwood H o m e s the first major federal housing project in the country. Two years later the late President Franklin D . Roosevelt came to Atlanta to dedicate the project a n d to make a major address at Tech's Grant Field. As Tech's programs expanded a n d its reputation for excellence began to grow, the demands for more programs, for greater service, and for the education of an ever-increasing number of students multiplied. T h e pressures for space steadily mounted, and the Institute began to search for ways to expand its physical plant to meet these pressures. T h e relief for what became a most serious problem came in the form of the designation of an area west of Hemphill Avenue as a federally assisted urban renewal area. T h e predominant land use in the tract was low-income residential with a scattering of commercial a n d light industrial. T h e physical condition of the area was deplorably bad with over eighty percent of the housing being classified as substandard. Because of the proximity and overwhelming needs of Georgia Tech, the project was designated exclusively for college oriented reuse. T h e first section of this area was
purchased by Tech in a series of tracts, through the standard procedures of the Atlanta Housing Authority. People were given a fair price for their property based on the estimates of three professional appraisers. From the institution's point-of-view this m a d e possible, for the first time in Tech's history, complete advanced planning for the growth of the campus in areas such as student housing, and academic and research buildings. Buildings currently under construction or completed in this area include the new dormitory complex, the new Chemistry Building, and the Student Center, all of which would have been delayed for a long period of time without this urban renewal program. Purchase of the second section of this area h a s begun under w h a t is known as the Neighborhood Development Program which differs somewhat from the U r b a n Renewal Programs. U n d e r N D P , an occupantowner selling his property is given a moving allowance and if h e b u y s a comparable dwelling in a standard (as opposed to a sub-standard) area, h e m a y receive a cost-differential grant that ranges u p to a maximum of $5,000. In the case of occupants who rent the dwellings, they too, are eligible for cost-of-moving grants. I n addition, they m a y receive a rent subsidy for a period of two years if The Georgia Tech Alumnus
they cannot find comparable quarters in a standard neighborhood for what they are paying at the time of the move. Both renters and owners are eligible for low-interest federally insured loans for new housing a n d both have first priority in t h e case of public housing within the City of Atlanta. In all cases, the minimum notice for moving is ninety days and it m a y be extended (and has been in several cases by T e c h ) if there is no decent relocation housing. A full time professional relocation specialist is assigned to work with the residents of the area. T h i s entire area of u r b a n renewalneighborhood development is of special concern to Georgia Tech. T h e Institute has attempted a n d will continue to a t t e m p t to alleviate the problems directly or indirectly created by these programs. H e r e are some examples of the t y p e of aid Tech, its faculty, and its students are attempting to give to residents of this a n d surrounding areas: (1) Tech is currently creating a n information center to serve the people who have relocation problems. While plans are going forward for the creation of such a center to serve as a liaison role between both T e c h and the Atlanta Housing Authority and their residents, an active counseling program is currently in effect between Tech personnel and the residents. (2) Tech is helping to support a n E O A Social Service Center in t h e renewal area. (3) Tech is actively working on setting u p a Youth Center to help serve the recreational needs of the younger residents of the area. (4) Tech is presently exploring ways to develop a D a y Care Center with the Pilgrim Baptist Church in the area and with the Techwood Housing Project for a similar facility in the Techwood Homes area. (5) A list of non-academic jobs on campus is being distributed continuously through these communities in a cooperative arrangement between Tech a n d the Central City E O A Office, which serves both the renewal area a n d t h e Techwood Housing Project. (6) A student project to collect and distribute welfare a n d surplus food to residents of both of the areas began operations on October 11 and a second step in this continuing program is planned for November 21. (7) I have appointed a n ad hoc committee of students a n d faculty to November-December 1969
establish goals for our community service programs. I t is chaired by Miller Templeton of the D e a n of Students Office a n d has already for-. warded a preliminary report to D r . Vernon Crawford's office for review and action. (8) A proposal for a Community Service T a s k Force of students to work in such areas as clean-up, relocation counseling, and youth recreation programs in these areas has been forwarded to m y office. U n d e r this proposal eighty percent of the funds would come from the Federal WorkStudy Programs. (9) Since 1962, T e c h h a s organized community service projects beginning with the Techwood Tutorial Program. Today, mainly through the efforts of a group of concerned students and faculty and with the encouragement of the Tech administration over the years, there are seven major active programs. T h e y include: (a) Techwood Tutorial Project: offers tutorial assistance to grade school boys in the Techwood-Clark Howell Public Housing Project. Students relate on a one-to-one basis with children from the project area, assisting them with their regular work a n d providing them with some adult m a l e guidance. Associated tutorial training gives the Tech m a n a background to aid in his effectiveness. (b) High School Tutorial Project (HSTP): created in response to the growing dropout problem in t h e O'Keefe H i g h School area. T e c h m e n are paired with teenagers to help in whatever way necessary to assist students toward graduation. T h i s program, as well as Tech's other tutorials, involves much more t h a n tutoring. T h e Tech man-teenager relationship in most cases becomes a close friendship with the Tech student offering guidance in m a n y aspects of his teenager's life, in addition to the scholastic area. (c) Institute of Understanding (IOU J: m a d e u p of Georgia Tech students interested in creating involvement experiences for a crosssection of students a n d faculty, I O U sponsors a variety of discussion groups, sensitivity sessions, a n d encounter groups dealing with major problems in our society. I n the past, areas of concern have included racism, student rebellion, hippy life, a n d urban affairs. I O U sessions are held periodically throughout each quarter a n d are open to all Tech students. (d) PAL: a coordination of six programs for children ages six to six-
teen from the low-income communities around Georgia Tech. T h e programs are designed to meet the special needs of children from families where there m a y not be a male figure in the family. Specifically the programs include: a Boy Scout troop; Gra-Y athletics; Neighborhood Group Activities (activities such as picnics are planned for all children interested) ; Commandos (a special Explorer Scout p o s t ) ; Sunday Night Church Group; a n d H o m e Visitation (a program to strengthen ties with parents of children involved in P A L activities).
(e) Tech
Athletic
Brothers
(TAB): consists of Georgia Tech students interested in helping children —from teenagers on down—to become better athletes. T h e T e c h m a n is paired with one, two, or three children from neighboring low-income communities. T h e groups get together to play ball, swim, r u n and hike. Through the medium of sports, the Tech men try to promote high personal standards as well as try to help the children to develop physically. (f) Social Science Department Courses: a series of courses ( S S 380, 381, 382) in special urban problems. T h e s e courses are designed to provide under academic guidance direct involvement in socially useful projects as well as specific practical knowledge in community service a n d urban problems. One of the major projects associated with these courses is the General Educational Developm e n t ( G E D ) Program. G E D offers tutorial assistance to high school dropouts of all ages, leading to the High School Equivalency Exam. (g) Special Projects: E a c h year, special projects in community service are organized by various groups. I n the past, these have included cleanu p campaigns in low-income neighborhoods, conferences on social problems, a creative playground for under-privileged children and college work-study programs in urban involvement. Other such projects are being planned for the future. I urge all of you who might be interested in helping with any of these programs to contact members of the Tech Community Service Coordinating Staff for additional information. T h e staff includes Miller Templeton, D o n Nelson, T o m Saylor, a n d Wally Bloom. T h e telephone number is 8734211, Extension 775. A n y way you can help Tech serve its surrounding communities is deeply appreciated by all of us interested in continuing these programs. 19

T h e gist of what h e said follows: T h e r e has been much written about our alumni a n d how much they mean to t h e Institute a n d the recognition realized. T h e last two years have been most interesting. T h e process of selecting a president for Tech involved m a n y interviews of well qualified m e n a n d we came o u t with t h e best.

This award a n d the two won the previous two years for service and alumni organization give us the distinction of being the only institution in the U . S . to win these awards consecutively from the American Alumni Council. T h e Association prevailed on the Foundation to increase the M e r i t Scholarships from 4 to 16 annually. I n another three years there will be 64 Foundation sponsored scholarships. This could cost t h e Foundation $96,000 if they all were maximum. T h r e e Tech T o d a y Programs were held. One h u n d r e d sixteen attended. Since the Tech T o d a y program started 567 people have been brought to Tech.

but
when it finally arrived on the closing day of the 100th Anniversary Year of college football, Tech's first victory over Georgia in six tries was as sweet a one as the Jackets ever earned. T h e game, which ended in the unlikely score of 6-0 in a year dominated by those 54-27 type games, was a throwback to the d a y s when defense dominated the game and the winning of it set off an orgy of three consecutive victories over the arch-rivals from Athens town in a space of but five days. On the following Wednesday night, the Tech freshman team caught the fever and came from behind to edge the Georgia yearlings 96-93 in overtime. A few minutes later, their varsity brethren were out on the floor crushing the favored Bulldogs 92-80, with the substitutes closing out the game. Only the heralded freshman team's loss to the Bullpups, 20-28, on Thanksgiving D a y prevented the Jackets from an unprecedented fourgame sweep in a week's time. But none of these victories was quite as impressive as was the predominately sophomore-junior football
team's edging of (he Bulldogs, who had been picked to win the Southeastern Conference championship by many experts before the season began. T h e r e was no sign of the fluke in this win. T h e J a c k e t s just stood toe to toe and physically and mentally whipped the lads from Athens town. In the doing of what those people who haven't been watching this team too closely will undoubtedly call a miracle, Tech hung the first shutout on Vince Dooley as head coach and beat the quiet and gracious head man at Georgia for the first time since his era began some five years ago. T h e tip-off to what kind of game this one was going to be was when Jacket game captains. Rock Perdoni and Mike Bradley won the toss a n d elected to kick. Georgia couldn't move, and punted to Tech, and the Jackets immediately launched a drive that carried from their 29 only to end in frustration when on second and nine at the Georgia 10, a J a c k Williams pass was tipped by a charging Bulldog and intercepted. T h e rest of the first period was distinguished only by the fact that the J a c k e t s The Georgia Tech Alumnus

missed another scoring chance when a halfback dropped a perfect pass in the open mainly because he was too eager to get to the end zone which was in plain view at the time. The first part of the second period was a reprise of the tail-end of the first. But with 11.03 remaining on the halftime clock, the Jackets launched one of the most perfect 80-yard drives you may wish to see. Williams started it wit! a pair of keepers for 12 and six yards, respectively. Cunningham got another four to the right and Steve Harkey the same distance to the same side. Tech picked up a five-yard penalty for illegal procedure when the center moved the ball before the snap, the only flaw in the picture-book drive. Williams came back with a 12-yard screen to Cunningham who got to the Georgia 47. Spiotta came in and managed six yards in two rushes and then Williams found Chip Pallman wide open on the left side for 20 yards and a first down at the Georgia 13. Cunningham, behind good blocking, got five, and Williams hit Steve Norris who made a fine catch at the one only to fall short because of the twisting he had to do to get the ball. Williams then lined them up with three big backs (Harkey, Dennis James, and Bounds) in the power I and fooled the Bulldogs by going in untouched behind Vitunic's block aided by Harkey's fake. The center snap was high and Jack Moore tried to rescue the situation by throwing for the two points but was not even close because of the Georgia rush. With 5:45 remaining, Tech had a shaky six-point lead and the defense took over to halt Georgia the rest of the half. The second half had the fans up and down as Tech's defense fought off one Georgia bid after another. The first one came early in the third quarter when the Bulldogs drove from their own 20 to a first down at the Tech 40. Cavan then got four before Perdoni halted Smiley for no gain and Bill Flowers stopped Paine after a two-yard advance. Cavan then hit Kemp on a pass but Carson's Raiders swarmed on the Georgia fullback before he could get past the line of scrimmage. Then the Jackets got a break on a short punt by Jones that gave them the ball at the enemy 38. Three plays later, Johnny Duncan tried a field goal of 52 yards that just missed when the wind blew it November-December 1969
wide to the left. Georgia's next attempt to move the ball was halted by Hoats' second interception at the Tech 35 and Bubba returned it 17 yards to the Georgia 48. This time an offensive pass interference call stopped any notion of a drive and Chapman punted it to Montgomery who returned a yard to the Georgia 31. Here came the Bulldogs with 14:01 remaining in the game. Cavan picked up 18 yards on a keeper before Riggle ran him down from behind. The Georgia quarterback reinjured his shoulder on the play and went to the sidelines to be replaced by Paul Gilbert. Gilbert hit a pair of passes and moved the team on running plays down to the Tech 19 where it was first and 10. Smiley managed two, and Gilbert three before Rick Lewis broke through and knocked Gilbert down for a loss of a pair. McCullough then missed a 32-yard field goal try and the Tech fans quit holding their collective breath for a minute. The Jackets couldn't move and Chapman punted one dead at the Georgia 34. The moment of truth had arrived with 7:59 remaining although nobody in the stands would predict that this was in reality the last stand of the Bulldogs. Gilbert hit Farnsworth for 17 and Whittemore for 10. Then on a missed pass. Tech was called for defensive holding and penalized 11 yards from its own 22 where the alleged foul occurred. With first and 10 just outside the 10-yard line, Farnsworth got three before Flowers and Hoats wrestled him down. Gilbert overthrew Greene in the back of the end zone and then tried to hit Farnsworth on the other side. But here Hoats tipped it and Jeff Ford broke his own Tech record by intercepting it some eight yards deep in the end zone and it was over with 6:06 remaining. Tech ate up close to four minutes of the clock on a drive that featured Cunningham with Harkey and Spiotta spelling the little man from Eatonton. The Jackets finally were stopped at their own 35 where Chapman kicked one 38 yards that was fair caught by Montgomery at the Georgia 27. Gilbert threw four straight incompletions under a superb rush as the Tech defensive backs and linebackers covered receivers very well. On the final throw, Flowers knocked it down at the last second and the Tech bench erupted in a frenzy. Tech took over at the Georgia 27 but could get no closer than the 20 and Moore missed a field
goal to give Georgia one more try. Bubba Hoats put a stop to this last-ditch try in a hurry. Gilbert dropped back to his 10 on first down and threw the ball some 65 yards in the air towards Whittemore who was surrounded by Tech defenders at the Tech 28. Hoats was the deep man and he caught it at the 25 and immediately fell to the ground clutching the ball. Williams killed the clock in three non-gainers and the Tech bench put on the biggest sideline show in recent history. They picked up Carson and every other Tech coach in sight and kept dropping them because too many wanted in on the toting job. They danced and just jumped. They went into the locker room in a state of hysteria but were sobered quickly when after Perdoni led them in the post-game prayer, the Rock was informed that his father, in the stands to see his son play college football for the first time, had suffered a serious heart attack during the game and was in an Atlanta hospital in critical condition. Rock's father died four days later. It was a terrible seasonal epilogue for this squat, tough, beautiful tackle who meant so much to this team and who was the most popular player of them all from the beginning of the season to this final day of glory and then tragedy. The game was a fitting climax for this team who seemed to reserve its best performances for the better teams. The season started with a 2421 win over favored SMU in a cliffhanger that wasn't settled until Charles Dudish, later suspended from the team for a series of undisclosed violations, fumbled the ball at the SMU one only to pick it up and dive across the line for the winning score. If Dudish's heroics were for all the marbles in this one, Tech's defensive unit's tenacity was the reason he got the chance to display them. Sans a single senior, Carson's Raiders harassed the nation's premier passer, Chuck Hixson, throwing him for losses five times and forcing a pair of interceptions. One of the errant throws was picked off by sophomore Jeff Ford at the enemy 41, juggled for two yards, and returned for Tech's first score which tied the game in the second quarter just when it appeared that there was no way for the Jackets to get on the scoreboard. The second interception, a diving catch by little Mike Wysong in the final period at the SMU 49, led to the score that won it. Jack O'Neill, 27
FIVE DAYS—C(
Sophomore defensive back Jeff Ford was one of the sensations of the year. He started it all by intercepting this Hixson pass (left) in the SMU game and returning it for a touchdown and he ended it by running back this recordbreaking interception (102 yards) against Notre Dame (bottom). In between, he set a new record for pass interceptions for a Tech back (9) set a new runback yardage record (257) and led the nation in total yards returning interceptions. He also blocked a field goal try by Auburn (below) and made his share of the tackles.

whose father tragically died of a h e a r t attack while listening to the game on the radio, came in during the third quarter a n d on his first pass in college hit Percy Helmer for a 46-yard touchdown that brought Tech from behind on one of the three occasions during the long afternoon. Duncan, one of the few seniors on the squad, kicked a record-breaking 48y a r d field goal in the second period that was eventually the margin of victory. T h e Hokes Bluff, Alabama native, known previously for his accuracy u p close, broke by a single y a r d T o m m y Wells' Tech record set against Alabama in 1960. I n the Baylor game, D u d i s h did it again. T h i s time, h e waited until there was b u t 1:37 on t h e clock before h e began to move t h e J a c k e t s 54 y a r d s in six plays to break a 10-10 tie. T h e two teams played t h e first forty-five minutes like they were both trying to r u n out t h e clock on a h o t afternoon. Then, with the score tied 3-3, Jeff Ford got the final period off to a flying start by intercepting a Baylor pass at the 16 a n d going in for t h e score. Less than 50 seconds later, Baylor was back in it a t 10-10 on a 69-yard pass play from sophomore quarterback Si Southall to Laney Cook. T h e two teams sparred for another 13 minutes until D u d i s h broke it u p with his toss across t h e middle to Steve H a r k e y for 21 yards and t h e winning touchdown. On t h e play, Dudish caught the Bears in a blitz situation a n d calmly took complete advantage of the situation. T h e J a c k e t s then lost their first one to Clemson, of all people, 10-21, after holding a 10-0 lead a t halftime. Again D u d i s h was the central figure in this game. After getting t h e lead a t halftime when h e took t h e Jackets 25 yards in the final seconds of t h e first half, Dudish went down with a sprained wrist, joining three other quarterbacks on t h e sidelines. T e c h played most of the final half with a fourth-string quarterback while watching Clemson back R a y Yauger run u p a n d down Grant Field like h e h a d built t h e stands. Tech then traveled to Knoxville to lose a second straight one, 8-26, and only one of the better defensive efforts of t h e year kept this one from being a slaughter. Tennessee dominated t h e first half as it did in all b u t one of its games this year. Leading only 0-13 simply The Georgia Tech Alumnus
because the Tech defense refused to fold despite being on the field close to 70 per cent of the time, the Vols had racked up 12 first downs and a net yardage of 201 yards against Tech's single first down and 23 yards total offense. The Jackets came back after intermission to make a couple of exceptional drives, a touchdown, and even outgain Tennessee, but by then the gate was securely locked on any upset hopes in the biggest Vol margin victory in the series which now stands at 14-13-1 in Tech's favor. Returning to the friendlier confines of Grant Field, the Jackets battled Auburn's tough Tigers to a standstill only to lose in the final minute on an 18-yard field goal by John Riley, the man who missed that one in Birmingham last year to allow Tech to escape with a 21-20 win. Magnificent in defeat, Bud Carson's defensive unit held the nation's highest scoring football team to 26 points below its average, only to see its efforts go for naught because of a little-league-type field goal from the one-yard line. This was a close one and no better proof can be offered for this statement than the fact that the score was tied at the end of the first period, 7-7 at the half, and 14-14 at the end of the third period. Except for flashes of brilliance, it was the same old story for the sophomoredominated offensive unit despite a new formation that can best be described as a split-slot I or a sideways L with slight tilt in it. The formation worked in the first period when Jack Williams, returning to combat after a pre-season injury, guided the Jackets 44 yards before the Tigers stopped them at their 36. And it really became effective when Dudish came in to replace Williams in the second period with a 0-7 deficit and in seven plays took his troops 60 yards to tie it up. Auburn went out in front at 7-14 on a 71-yard drive in the third period and the Jackets came right back to tie it when Auburn's Sullivan fumbled at his own 20 and Buck Shiver recovered for Tech. In four plays, Tech had a tie with the two big ones being a great catch by Steve Harkey of a Dudish pass followed by a fouryard run by Harkey. Tech might have had a tie out of this one if it hadn't been for the irrepressible Dudish who thinks only in terms of wins. Late in the final period, the Dude started a Tech drive from his own 20 with a first down on three running plays but then he threw the November-December 1969
ball into a clump of Tigers and one picked it off to put the visitors at the Tech 37. Seven plays and a most helpful illegal procedure call against Tech put the Tigers at the Tech one with fourth and goal and Shug Jordan decided to go for the winning field goal despite the fact that Tech had blocked an earlier attempt. A week later, Tech was in Los Angeles absorbing the insults of the West Coast writers who insisted that the Jackets were too small and inexperienced to even appear in the Coliseum against the mighty Trojans of Southern California. Well, for one brief moment the Christians had the lions beat but quarterback Jim Jones unloaded a 55-yard bomb with 3:12 to go to negate an unbelievable effort on the part of the 22-point underdog Jackets. Outweighed by at least 20 pounds a man, Bud Carson's proud young men took the battle to the nationally ranked Trojans and actually held an 18-15 lead when Jones let go of his desperation heave that was caught by Sam Dickerson who had managed to get open thanks to Jones' superb scrambling on the play. Dickerson caught the ball at the Tech 20, avoided a tackier and went on in for the score that overcame the Jackets' best team effort since the 1966 Tennessee game. Tech led 10-0 in the first half only to see it overcome in the final three minutes of the second period, then went ahead again with 5:22 remaining only to fall victim to a perfect play that quarterback Jones said after the game was "a long throw in hopes that someone would be down there to catch it." The final score was no more the measure of the difference of these teams than was the so-called "experts" pre-game evaluation. USC picked up a gift touchdown when a pair of Jackets mishandled one of those fancy handoffs on the kickoff following the game-breaking pass play. It was another of those big games designed to get the Jackets upfield as far as possible for a final attempt to pull out of a game that was rightfully theirs. As one press box citizen remarked after it was all over, "This bunch didn't leave their hearts out on that field, they left their souls." Tech got its first score when Jeff Ford intercepted a Trojan pass and returned it 44 yards to the USC eight. An aborted halfback pass and a fumble handoff forced Tech back to the 15 and Jack Moore came in and kicked a field goal. The Jackets then
recovered a Trojan fumble at their own 11 and drove 89 yards in eight plays with Dudish at the helm. A fourth-and-five pass from Dudish to Cunningham was good for 23 yards and the score. Tech got its final points after tackle Wayne Laircey intercepted a Trojan pass at the USC 18 and returned it to the 14. Four plays later, Dudish eased it over from the one and the Jackets had a brief moment of glory- before the roof caved in on the desperation pass. The Jackets finally got back in the winning track when they took Duke, 20-7, in the Homecoming game. Carson was forced to go to his bullpen in this one and call in Jack Williams, once figured to be his starting quarterback, in order to preserve his record of never coming up a loser in a Tech Homecoming game. Williams responded by taking the Jackets from a 3-7 deficit to this well-earned win as he guided them to a pair of touchdowns and a field goal in the final 13:53 of the strange contest. We say strange because things just seemed to happen to both Tech and Duke this afternoon, the first damp one of the season for the Jackets. For instance, the two teams amassed a total of 793 yards of net offense, yet could only place 27 points on the scoreboard. And then there is the case of Brent Cunningham, the sophomore runner who is obviously a superior mudder, who broke Bobby North's yardsrushing-in-a-single-game record set 20 years ago against Auburn by 22 yards as he moved in and out of the Blue Devils for 190 yards in 33 carries. Yet, Cunningham never got closer to the end zone than the 12-yard line and that time the play was called back on a personal foul penalty against Tech. And in the case of Duke, it was even more frustrating. The Blue Devils' superb quarterback (and we still think he is the best pro prospect we have seen in two years) Leo Hart completed 20 of 32 passes for 275 yards but had to go to the quarterback keeper to score his team's only touchdown. And how about the fact that Duke was inside Tech's twoyard line on three occasions in the first half without putting a single point on the board. Twice they fumbled and the other time, the defense led by Smiley Gebhart then on two consecutive plays stopped Duke's best running back, Bob Zwirko, for no gain from the one. And then there were the passes bouncing off the chests of Duke receivers into the 29
FIVE DAYS—continued arms of Tech defenders and a first half in which neither team scored a touchdown, yet neither h a d to p u n t a single time. And we could go on a n d on but what was really significant about this was t h a t the Jackets, flat defensively after a pair of superb performances, still managed to win this one simply because t h e defense h a d it when it h a d to a n d the offense managed to do its share. T h i s D u k e team is a complete mystery. I t has been h u r t terribly by injuries, yet still manages simply because of the genius of H a r t to look like a very good football t e a m a t times. And if some of the other teams on this schedule h a d H a f t as quarterback there is no telling what they might be able to accomplish. T h i s afternoon h e was rushed without quarter at times, struck as h e released t h e ball a t least on ten occasions, knocked goofy twice, and generally manhandled by the Tech defense. But h e kept coming back into the game and until a Williams-toH e r m a n Lam pass with 58 seconds to go got Tech's insurance touchdown, nobody in the stadium h a d the feeling that the J a c k e t s h a d the game won simply because of H a r t ' s presence on the field. In New Orleans, the J a c k e t s had an off-day against a fired-up T u l a n e team a n d it cost them their fifth loss of the season, 7-14. I n a game t h a t charitably might be described as lessthan-exciting, the two teams traded first-quarter scores and it stayed 7-7 until midway in the final period when t h e Green Wave p u t together a swift 60-yard scoring drive in just seven plays to h a n d the J a c k e t s their second straight defeat in visits to this city of strippers, old-world charm and new-world pollution. T e c h h a d several opportunities to win this one before T u l a n e salted it away b u t penalties and miscues on critical downs plus an aroused T u l a n e defense always left the J a c k e t s short of the win they just h a d to have. T e c h got behind in the first period on an 87-yard drive by T u l a n e in which the pass was completely ignored by the Green Wave. T h e Jackets came right back with their own drive from the following kickoff which Gene Spiotta returned 17 y a r d s to the 32. Cunningham carried six consecutive times and gained 30 yards b u t only reached t h e T e c h 49 for all his trouble, because of a 15-yard holding penalty on the first run. Wil30
liams then hit Chip Pallman for 17 and a first down on the T u l a n e 34. Cunningham came back for two and Spiotta arrived to spell him a t this time. T h e little senior promptly got seven to his right a n d another 10 u p the middle before h e fumbled a handoff a n d Williams h a d to fall on the ball. Tech then picked u p a five-yard penalty for delay of the game and it looked like t h e drive might b e stopped. B u t Williams threw a strike to K e n n y Bounds u p the middle for 15 a n d on third a n d three at the 8, the junior quarterback passed to Steve Norris who m a d e a n improbable touchdown catch with three defenders hanging on him. M o o r e tied it a t 7-7 with the clock showing 0:00 in the first quarter. Tech threatened again a n d again but couldn't get it in the end zone. Rick Lewis m a d e a fine p u n t return t h a t p u t Tech at the T u l a n e 48 and the J a c k e t s drove to the 25 before they were forced to try a field goal that missed. Lewis again set them u p in business with a fine pass interception and run t h a t moved the ball to the two b u t a clipping penalty took it back to the 19 and D u d i s h couldn't move it a n d M o o r e missed another field goal try, this time from the 30. T u l a n e then put the game on ice with that 60-yard drive. T h i s young team showed its courage in dropping another one to national power N o t r e D a m e , 20-38, in a November 15 night game in full view of 41,104 shivering fans in Grant Field and millions sitting in comfort in front of their television sets throughout the country. Down 21 points a t t h e close of the initial period and 31 just a half a m i n u t e away from t h e end of t h e second, these young J a c k e t s bounced off the floor on the strength of a 102-yard runback of an intercepted pass by sophomore Jeff Ford and came back to outscore a much stronger N o t r e D a m e team in the second half, 14-7. Shorn of a large p a r t of their biggame offense when D u d i s h was placed on probation by Coach B u b Carson for a series of undisclosed broken rules and by a virus bug t h a t kept top offensive lineman J o e Vitunic in the Tech infirmary for the evening, the Jackets handed the ball over to the 40-pounds-per-man heavier Irish in the first 30-minutes on four pass interceptions a n d a pair of fumbles. You just don't do this sort of thing against the "Little Sisters of t h e Poor" much less the pride of the Catholic world a n d win m a n y foot-
If Ford was the star defensive back, Rock Perdoni was the line standout and sometimes it took a few folks to keep him out of the play in strange ways (top). But most of the time, he did his thing superbly as seen in the Notre Dame game (middle) and in the Georgia game (bottom).

One of the pass interceptions was run back by defensive back Clarence Ellis for 70 y a r d s a n d a first-period score a n d another p u t the Irish on the Tech 10 from which they scored a field goal after the beleagued defense held for a net one-yard gain in three plays.

I n fact every one of t h e errors except the initial fumble a n d t h e final interception in the second quarter led to an Irish score, which is a n indication of what kind of opportunists this bunch from South Bend are. T o continue their record, the Irish turned a T e c h fumble early in the third period into their closing score midway through the third period, a n d then spent the rest of the evening fighting off threatening gestures b y the J a c k e t s who h a d n ' t been informed t h a t they were expected to fold under such circumstances. T h e final two Tech scores came against the N o t r e D a m e first unit as t h e Irish didn't do much substituting except when absolutely necessary. Jeff Ford's startling r u n with the interception p u t the sophomore from Satellite Beach, Florida in the Tech record book in three categories—the most passes intercepted in a season ( 8 ) , the most yards returning intercepted passes in a season (257), a n d in a career (257). I n the first two categories, the diminutive Ford broke records held since 1952 by Bobby Moorhead, and in the final one the record of Bill E a s t m a n set during the 1965-67 seasons went by the boards. Unofficially, he also broke F r a n k Broyles' longest-re t u r n - o f - a n - i n t e r cepted-pass record set against Clemson as h e ran it back 102 yards to Broyles' 101 but nowadays 100 yards is all you can be officially credited with on return yardage in the college ranks. T h e Jackets also smashed t h e single-season team pass interception record of 23 (set in 1952) early in the second period when Dave Beavin picked off one in the end zone, and in the Georgia game the new record went to 30 as Tech picked u p four more. T e c h got its second half scores on a 38-yard drive that featured a 28y a r d scoring pass from Dexter Hoffm a n to H e r m a n Lam. A Cunningham p u n t return of 24 yards put the Jackets at the Irish 43 and nine plays later, K e n n y Bounds scored from the one. T h e second half was the making of this football team a n d m a d e the final November-December 1969
The freshmen had their share of stars and one of the brightest of them all was tight end Mike Oven, who caught everything that was thrown in his game upset possible. It is likely also that it forged a real winning football team for Carson and his staff for the coming year. For only three men who played any appreciable time this season completed their eligibility a n d the freshman squad, despite its 3-3 record, will furnish the varsity with several football players including a fine quarterback, E d d i e McAshan, who was nothing short of sensational in the Georgia freshman game with his passing. McAshan, operating on one leg because of an injury suffered in the Tennessee game, was the catalyst in every freshman score against the Bullpups and only a bad day in the punt-fielding department kept the Baby J a c k e t s from winning this one. Meanwhile, back at the Coliseum, Whack H y d e r ' s boys, behind the clutch shooting of Bob Seemer a n d

Rich Yunkus, built a 46-35 halftime bulge and went on to win with ease. Earlier in the week, Tech had routed a weak Virginia team, 72-49, in an unimpressive debut. B u t this team showed it was for real when it beat previously unbeaten Oklahoma City, 68-54, on the following Saturday night. Y u n k u s is of all-America caliber and has shown it in the first three games. Seemer is coming strong and J i m T h o r n e is a fine ball-handling guard. B u t the big surprise of this year's team is Bill Mayer, a junior college transfer from California, who has h a d a h a n d in breaking open every game played by the Jackets this winter. If H y d e r can find another guard with any sort of shooting consistency, this group m a y surprise a lot of people before the season ends in February. 31
Georgia Tech Journal A digest of information about Georgia Tech and the alumni
New Health Systems Research Center • A NEW research center at Tech is systematically tackling the analysis and design of health care services delivered to the public. According to officials of Tech's new Health Systems Research Center, the United States is in critical need of providing health services of an acceptable quality to more people, and at the same time, needs to reduce the cost of those services. Although accomplishing this goal sounds like a formidable task—if not a contradiction of purposes—much can be done, they contend, by looking at the whole health care system scientifically, by conducting formal studies of everything from such operations as the distribution of medicine within the hospital to even evaluating whether a new type of structure is needed to take the place of the traditional hospital. Overall, their task is to devise new ways of providing health services and to improve the efficiency of the old ways. The problem in forming such a research group, however, is one of perspective. It calls for a cooperative team effort by professionals in diverse fields. It means that the industrial engineer, the architect, the psychologist, the information scientist, the physician, the medical researcher, nurses, and others must pool their knowledge to effect the necessary evaluations. Although formally approved by Georgia's Board of Regents in September, the Health Systems Research Center is built on an educational and research program in hospital and medical systems, which has been administered jointly by Tech and the Medical College of Georgia for the past two years. The P H M S now^omes under the auspices of the Health Systems Research Center. Tech graduate students enrolled in the Program in Hospital and Medical Systems study' industrial and systems engineering techniques on the Atlanta campus and conduct research projects at Talmadge Memorial Hospital in Augusta and other hospitals and medical centers in Atlanta as well. The Center's research programs will; be based at Piedmont Hospital, while
32
academic programs will continue to be administered on the Tech campus. One student, for example, is conducting a study to determine how to make the best use of a physician's time, while another is helping the administrator of the hospital work out a 10-year master plan for his institution. Still another Tech student recently completed a preventive maintenance project at Georgia's new circular experimental hospital in Woodstock. This 22-bed facility relies heavily on electronic equipment, and the idea, according to hospital officials, is to determine in advance when the equipment will need repairs and make them before it actually stops working. Since the new research center has been established at the Ferst Research Laboratories in Atlanta's Piedmont Hospital complex, emphasis is shifting to problems of a wider scope. Plans are underway for comprehensive studies of the hospitals, ranging from staff-to-patient ratio, traffic patterns, and effectiveness of using pre-packaged food, to considering the psychological effects of the arrangement of space on patients and staff members. HSRC people and Tech's School of Architecture are also working with the practicing architects who are currently designing a new medical center. Among other things, the HSRC staff is working out information flow systems, distribution systems for supplies, foods, and drugs, as well as helping to determine where nurses' stations should best be located and the like. Still another study currently underway indicates the comprehensive nature of the Center's interests. One HSRC staff member is working out a long-range planning methodology for Georgia's Central State (mental) Hospital. Of major significance to the hospital's future will be the impact of regional mental health centers recently established by the State. Although the Center is located in Atlanta and metropolitan health care facilities are readily available for study, considerable activity is in progress at the Medical College in Augusta, and eventually, the group plans to investigate the systems of delivering health services in rural areas as well.
The new Center is directed by Dr. Harold E. Smalley, Regents' Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering.
Top Tech researcher dead at 57 • RESEARCH PROFESSOR Richard B. Bel-
ser, a Georgia Tech physicist with an international reputation in the areas of aging quartz crystal resonators for electronic communications devices and in thin metal film research, died on September 6 in an Atlanta hospital. Professor Belser directed over 25 major research projects valued at over $2 million during his 19-year career at Tech. A prolific writer, he authored or co-authored close to 100 major publications in scientific journals and technical reports during his career. A graduate of the Citadel and Emory University, Professor Belser was a former Atlanta high school science teacher who continued his work with high school science and engineering students until his death. One of his proteges, whom he discovered through an Atlanta high school science program, was Dr. John Copeland, who went on to work with him in his laboratory, receive a Ph.D. at Tech and then become internationally known himself for his work at Bell Telephone Laboratories where he developed the LSA Diode, a semi-conductor device which became the replacement for bulky high-powered micro-wave tubes in America's space program. A retired Lt. Col. in the U.S. Army reserve, Belser spent eight years in the military service as an instructor and staff officer at the Infantry School at Fort Benning and as a staff officer in the Mediterranean Theater where he received the Bronze Star medal for distinguished service. At his death, he was serving Tech as a research professor of Textile Engineering and a principal research physicist in the Engineering Experiment Station. In recent years, he had done considerable outstanding work in the frictional properties of fibers for the improvement of yarns and threads produced by American textile industry. His work drew such attention that he spent part of last spring lecturing in Paris on the subject. His early work in the aging of The Georgia Tech Alumnus

Tech-continued quartz crystal resonators attracted so much attention abroad that several foreign scientists in the same field came to Tech during the early sixties to study with him and with the communications research group at Tech. He was also an expert in the use of modern Scanning Electron Microscope and at his death was engaged on a project with Emory researchers in the use of this device to study human hair in an effort to prove a theory that it could be used in the early diagnosis of mental disorders in children. Professor Belser was a member of the American Physical Society, the Association of Physics Teachers, the American Society of Metals, the Georgia Academy of Sciences (for which he did considerable work among the young through the Atlanta Science Congress) and was listed in American Men of Science.
New bioengineering center • ON NOVEMBER 12, the Board of Regents gave Georgia Tech the final approval to establish a Center for Bioengineering on the Atlanta campus. In discussing the formation of the new center, Tech President, Dr. Arthur G. Hansen explained that bioengineering is "that field which deals with interactions between technology and biology and medicine." He added, "Because the program will be directed toward the goal of health maintenance, it should emerge as a clearly visible program in the service of man." The T e c h P r e s i d e n t continued, "Since engineering is really two fields —creative design, with the aid of scientific principles, and analysis of complex mechanisms—bioengineering also divides into two fields: one concerned with the design of devices for medicine and life sciences such as biology; the other involving analysis of complex biological systems by application of engineering science." Hansen said that bioengineering is experiencing a rapid and vigorous developmental phase in many university, government, and industrial laboratories throughout the country—"especially those in the forefront of scientific and engineering teaching and development." He also indicated" that bioengineering will be a major thrust of the Georgia Institute of Technology in months to come, adding that Tech already has over 40 major research projects scattered throughout its various divisions that could be classified under the term bioengineering. These will be coordinated by the new center. A first major development in the total bioengineering program took place in September with the establishment of a Health Systems Research » 34
Center through the cooperative efforts of the Institute and the Medical College of Georgia, according to Hansen. "Valuable knowledge was acquired on the way in which an area of importance at Georgia Tech, namely systems engineering, could be combined with the research and academic skills of the Medical College of Georgia in health delivery. This joint effort, which to date has been highly successful, provides a format for expanding our efforts to plan cooperatively with other units of the University System and Emory University." Hansen said the Bioengineering Center will be run by an executive committee and a director, "charged with the responsibility of promoting and coordinating bioengineering research directed toward the goal of maintaining the health of the populace, and promoting the expansion of health-oriented industries in Georgia." He emphasized, however, "It is not the intent of Georgia Tech to deliver health care but rather to build on technological competence that will aid practitioners and industrial organizations to more effectively engage in health care delivery and in health maintenance." The initial program activities at Tech, he said, will include several areas. In addition to biomedical instrumentation, the Center will establish an information transfer program so that the knowledge gained from bioengineering-oriented research both on and off the campus reaches engineers, medical personnel, and the public at large. The Center will also work on the application of computer sciences to bioengineering and medical problem areas, and is expected to work closely with industry in prototype development of instruments and medicallyoriented devices. Hansen added, "The programs of the Center will be based solidly on the basic sciences and academic programs of the Institute and cooperating institutions. It is felt that no program can succeed without this base. The further involvement of students in research activities having the great social significance of health care and maintenance should provide a significant educational experience." Dr. Edwin J. Scheibner, chief of the physical sciences division of Tech's Engineering Experiment Station, was named interim director of the new center in November. He took over his new duties on December 1.

in 1968 in Talanta, an international journal of analytical chemistry. The award was made to Professor Hermann A. Flaschka and Dr. James B. Garrett by the editorial board for two papers on "Substoichio-metric Masking." A silver imprinted leather bound volume of the journal which contained the prize winning paper was presented to Flaschka and Garrett at a dinner held in Pennsylvania recently. Professor Flaschka is currently Regent's Professor of Chemistry at Georgia Tech, and Dr. Garrett is now employed by the American Oil Company in Whiting, Indiana.
New dual-degree program • A NEW dual degree program between West Georgia College and Georgia Tech has received final approval from the Regents and will go into operation immediately, according to Dr. F. W. Schutz, Jr., coordinator of the program at Tech. Under the dual degree plan, a student would initially attend West Georgia College in Carrollton, taking courses which would lead to a liberal arts degree. Once these were completed, he would transfer to Tech to study engineering. Upon graduation he would receive both an engineering degree from Georgia Tech and an undesignated bachelor of arts degree from West Georgia College. Completion of 255 hours is required to qualify for the two degrees, according to the Tech coordinator. A student could take up to 140 hours at West Georgia College and then transfer to Tech, or he could take 120 hours at Carrollton liberal arts college and complete the remaining 135 hours at the Institute. In terms of length of time spent at each institution, Dr. Schultz, says, "It is possible for a student to transfer to Tech at the end of seven quarters, but more typically he would not transfer until the end of nine." Depending upon the number of quarters spent in Carrollton, he would remain at Tech from six to eight quarters. Similar programs have been in operation for several years between Georgia Tech and other institutions, including the Atlanta University Center (Clark, Morris Brown, Morehouse, and Spelman Colleges), Davidson College in North Carolina, Southwestern University at Memphis, Tenn., the University of Georgia, and the University of the South at Suwanee, Tenn. In explaining the reason for establishing these programs, Dr. Schutz notes, "A liberal arts college and a technological institute represent two entirely different types of educational environments. There has been a great deal of concern in recent years over the gap in communications between members of the respective communiThe Georgia Tech Alumnus
ties. The dual degree program is one way of meeting this problem." "Additionally," the Tech professor continues, "a student initially entering college may not be in a position to commit himself completely to an engineering curriculum. By enrolling in a program like this, he can assure himself that he will have taken the necessary courses to transfer to the technological school when the time comes. By the same token, he had met the requirements of the liberal arts college and can also choose to remain there to complete a degree." Students entering the dual degree program will be eligible for the usual programs of financial aid available at the two institutions, according to Dr. Schutz. He foresees no problem in obtaining financial aid as a result of the transfer. "The student who qualifies for financial aid on this program at West Georgia College will be eligible for comparable assistance when he transfers to Tech." he indicated. Applications for admission to the program should be made to West Georgia College, the Tech professor said. More detailed information may be obtained by writing to either Dr. Marcus B. Morehead, Chairman, Division of Science and Mathematics at West Georgia College, C a r r o l l t o n , 30117, or Dr. F. W. Schutz, Jr. at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Ga. 30332.
Town houses from trailers • I T LOOKS for all the world like any group of townhouses suitable for Southern families, but actually the model designed by four Georgia Tech architecture students is not a conventional one, but a hybrid structure constructed from six mobile home units. The impetus for constructing the unusual building came from Professor Joseph Smith who gave the students the assignment in an architecture class. He, in turn, was responding to a request from Georgia Tech's Housing Resources Program which wanted creative designs to use mobile homes as housing. Frank Clarke of the Industrial Development Division wanted to see what could be done to provide attractive homes at lower costs through the use of industrialized housing. Clarke's interest stemmed from another project in the Housing Resources Program. Since July, 1968 this project of the State Technical Services Program has sought new ideas and techniques in other industries which are of value to the mobile home industry. In the process, they have learned a great deal about mobile homes and housing in general—a fact which prompted the Tech students' involvement. Clarke comments, "In South GeorNovember-December 1969
gia, for example, there is an extreme housing shortage and many of the small towns have limited means of coping with the problem. Mobile homes could be used to fill the need, but they are not accepted as housing in many communities. So, it is necessary to find out what it will take to make these units more acceptable, both to the people who would use them and to the town itself. Then, we would need to know whether mobile home manufacturers could build the homes that are acceptable." The four Tech students who got the assignment to come up with a creative design using mobile homes turned first to a Tech fifth-year architecture student's thesis in which the same technique was applied in the Atlanta Model Cities area to produce high-rise and low-rise structures. Next, the students visited a plant which produces mobile homes to get an inside look at a mobile home in the making. When summer quarter was over, the four students had completed their model—a two-story duplex called a "modular" or "industrialized" townhouse. They had worked out plans which would enable the two-story home to be built in the factory and then transported to the home site and erected. Each duplex town house consists of six modules which are stacked two high next to each other. Two dwelling units are formed with a common unit between them containing the hall, stair, heating and plumbing for both homes. Each dwelling unit has a dining room, living room, kitchen, and half bath downstairs and three bedrooms and bath upstairs. Professor Smith indicated that only minor modifications from regular mobile home construction techniques were necessary in the units. Students concentrated on such points as improved insulation, non-metallic siding, a pitched roof and porches to give the home a conventional appearance. "The important point," Smith said, "is that these buildings can be massproduced in a factory under tight cost control—which means that the price is lower." Although the phrase "lowprice housing" immediately implies that the market for industrialized housing will be in lower income groups, the Tech professor thinks that the future market will come from middle and upper income groups. "What you are after," he says, "is a better built building for your money." He also points out that many mobile home plants produce about one unit per hour. Using six units per two dwelling units (though this represents only one of many possible designs), the individual units can be completed in one day, after which shipping and on-site erection could be accomplished in approximately two weeks. If the idea
should catch on, Smith says, "A need for a middle group to handle the erection process would probably arise." Frank Clarke, of Tech's idea-selling Industrial Development Division, also adds that if it can be demonstrated that these units can be used to fill a need in Georgia, then the same production techniques used here can provide housing suitable for the rest of the Southeast, or areas with similar climates.
/: Drugs and the high school student • SINCE the furor over drug use has reached a national level, it is difficult for young people, pressured by both their peers and their parents, to separate the facts from the fictions and reach a rational personal decision, according to a group of Georgia Tech students. In order to deal with the problem, the Tech students have embarked on a well-organized project to find the facts and pass them along to other potentially confused young people. Charlie Shaefer, the young man who has been the driving force behind the project, emphasizes that their purpose is not to tell their listeners whether or not they should use drugs, but to "raise issues and present the scientific facts as we know them today." In order to do this, the Tech Interfraternity Council has organized five panels of four members each which offer symposia on drugs. An administrative group coordinates panel appearances and keeps up with current information. Sources used in their research include the Federal Narcotics Bureau, the Food and Drug Administration, the Office of the Solicitor General of Fulton County, various juvenile authorities in Atlanta, and Atlanta physicians. Although the program was recently presented to members of the Georgia Tech freshman class, the group is primarily concerned at this point with reaching Atlanta area high school students. Shaefer explains, "The information we now have leads us to believe that drugs are the real in-thing in the better, well-to-do high schools. We would like to be able to give students the facts before they form an opinion." The trial run for the first panel took place at Westminster School for Girls last spring, and two other Atlanta high schools have expressed an interest in the program this fall. Three separate sessions were held at Westminster for tenth, eleventh, and twelfth-grade students. Principal Don Westmoreland said the program was well-received by his students and commented: "I think it was very effective because for the first time in our experience at Westminster, we had students talking to students." 35

ALUMNI CLUB SETS AN UNBEATABLE RECORD • THERE may be other alumni clubs winning National Advisory Board Trophies in the future but it is highly unlikely that any of them will ever match the record of the Albany Georgia Tech Club in 1969 and it is a cinch that nobody will ever beat it. All the boys from Southwest Georgia did was win the trophy three years in a row, and retire it and in the doing of it they pulled their clean sweep with an unbelievable 100 per cent participation—116 alumni in the area and 116 contributed to the roll call last year. In recognition of this achievement accomplished by an intense personal solicitation program created by C. T. Oxford in 1966 when he was the roll call chairman for the club, President Arthur G. Hansen gave his first alumni club speech in Albany on October 21 and then presented the trophy to Billups Johnson, immediate past president of the club. Over 128 alumni and wives heard President Hansen call the Albany alumni, "the finest alumni group in the United States—the elite of the elite." President Hansen told the record crowd that the Albany Club alone through its roll call contributions for the past year has financed the supplement for two full professors' salaries, "which enables Tech to hold them against the stiffest competition provided by the largest technological universities and industry." Bob Fowler, the Albany Club president who was the roll call chairman for both the 1967 and 1968 campaigns, presided at the meeting. Special guests included Albany publisher James Gray and Albany Mayor Fred W. Mills, who presented the traditional key to the city to President Hansen and thanked Tech for its contributions to progress and industrial advancement in the State. 36
Tech-continued Fulton County Solicitor General Lewis R. Slaton agreed with the Westminster principal, calling the Tech students' project a worthwhile one and emphasizing with Westmoreland that "This type of program works best when given by young people." Governor Lester Maddox also endorsed the students" efforts. In a letter to Shaefer, he wrote: "You have the correct approach in solving the drug problem. The dangers of Drug Abuse must be made known to the young people and certainly there are enough dangers involved to be convincing . . . I have instructed the State Drug Inspectors Office to . . . give you any assistance possible." By the end of the program on drugs, Shaefer says, "We hope that the audience will be seriously asking four questions: what are the positive aspects of drugs, what will they do to harm me, what legal problems will I encounter if caught, and how will drug use affect me socially and psychologically." Once these questions have been raised and dealt with, Shaefer says the final question before plunging becomes: "Will I be sure that I will get a drug that is pure and good?" The Tech junior and his group readily admit that they are not drug experts. "All we claim," he says, "is to have amassed a group of facts. But if we can't answer a question which someone raises, we can tell them where they can get an answer." In addition to forming the drug panels, the Tech students are investigating the possibility of establishing a "diala-drug" program. "We would like to set up a telephone system so that anyone who has a problem with drugs or a question about drugs could call in and get a quick, factual answer," he said. He indicated that talks are currently underway with Georgia Tech student government officials concerning financing such a program. "We hope eventually to work this nationally," the Tech group's director concludes. "We won't quit until we do."
New rocket research at tech • WHILE existing scientific and technological knowledge is taking men to the moon and back, two Georgia Tech nuclear engineers are working on the space technology of tomorrow. Doctors J. R. Williams and J. D. Clement of the Nuclear Sciences Division of Tech's Engineering Experiment Station are aiding NASA in the development of a rocket engine that will greatly reduce the cost of space travel and enhance the feasibility of travel to other planets. The Georgia Tech Alumnus
According to Dr. Williams, "A single Saturn 5 launch costs about 120 million dollars, and the cost of putting material into earth orbit is from about $1,000 to $10,000 a pound." Though at the moment, based on these figures, the cost of manned trips to the planets would be astronomical, if not totally prohibitive, Williams says there are two approaches that may be taken to reduce the cost. "The first is to get away from the ammunition concept of rockets and develop reusable space ferries," says the Tech researcher. "If a jet airliner could only be used for one flight, the cost of an airline ticket would be around ten thousand dollars. NASA is pushing the development of reusable rockets which would bring the cost of putting things in orbit down to about $100 a pound. This is a factor of ten improvement over today's costs, but still, space travel is pretty expensive." The other approach, according to the Tech professor, is to develop higher performance propulsion systems for space vehicles. "Then much smaller, and correspondingly cheaper, spacecraft could be used," says Williams. "High performance," he explains, "generally means high exhaust velocity and high thrust per pound of engine weight. The exhaust velocity is important because the higher the velocity of the rocket exhaust, the less propellant required to produce a given thrust—which means that a rocket with a high exhaust velocity would be smaller than a rocket with a lower exhaust velocity designed to execute the same mission. The thrust-to-weight ratio determines how fast the rocket can accelerate, and for many maneuvers, it is desirable that the rocket accelerate as rapidly as possible." NASA, the Atomic Energy Commission, and the Air Force are investigating several different types of advanced propulsion systems, according to the Tech nuclear engineer, but only three appear to have the potential for high exhaust velocity and high thrust-to-weight ratio. The first of these, the nuclear pulse rocket, would use nuclear explosives to provide thrust, but work on this concept has now been abandoned because of the necessarily very large size and corresponding high cost of each rocket. The second type, fusion propulsion rockets, are currently being investigated, the Tech professor says, but the feasibility of such a system probably will not be established until fusion power becomes a reality. The last type, the gaseous core nuclear rocket, which would employ a fissioning gas as the energy source, appears to be the most promising approach to building a high performance rocket that will make space travel inexpensive, and it is this type of rocket engine which the Tech profesNovember-December 1969
sors are studying. "Several different designs of gascore nuclear rockets are currently being investigated by the Atomic Energy Commission, NASA and the Air Force," Williams says. "However, each of these concepts uses a central core of very hot gaseous uranium as the heat source. Hydrogen p r o p e l l a n t seeded with small particles absorbs heat from the uranium core and is exhausted through a nozzle to produce the thrust." The selection of the material for these particles in the hydrogen is very important, according to Williams. In order to predict the performance of a particular gas core rocket engine, data on what happens to the hydrogen
when it is seeded with particles of a particular material at high temperatures and pressures must be gathered. These studies are currently being made by Williams and Clement with NASA grants totaling $178,600. The data gathered by the Tech professors will be used to help design the first gas-core nuclear rocket engines. Williams says that if the feasibility of the system is established by current research programs, construction of the first gas-core nuclear rocket engine and the required test facilities may begin as early as 1975. "If the gas-core nuclear rocket development program remains on schedule, gas-core rockets may be used for manned Mars missions in the late 80's or 90's."

Photo at left shows Cecil R. Phillips, manager of textile systems and operations research for KSA, who received his BS C55) and MS ('60) degrees from Tech and joined KSA in 1967. Cecil is conferring with Douglas J. Moore, at his right (an "exceptional" exception from Ohio State). Above, James I. Giddings makes a point to Norman Herber, chairman of Greatermans, a large South African retail chain, about reorganizing its distribution network. Jim (Tech '56) joined KSA in 1960, and is now vice president in charge of physical distribution services such as site selection, distribution center design, methods and incentive systems. Photo at right shows Frank M. Sexton (left), who received his BSIE in 1964 and, after a two-year Army hitch, returned to Tech to obtain his MSIM. He joined KSA in March, 1968, and has since gained experience as a member of its Hosiery Engineering Division.
These Tech men chose KSA ...for very special reasons Pictured above are three of the 26 Tech graduates on Kurt Salmon Associates' 225-man staff. One joined KSA in 1960, another in 1967, the third in 1968. Each specializes in a different field, yet each is primarily a problem-solver whose professional skills are broadened as each new consulting assignment comes along. D Cecil Phillips, Jim Giddings and Frank Sexton probably had different reasons for joining KSA—the challenge of early and increasing responsibility, for example, or the satisfaction of working independently and being stimulated by a broad range of assignments, of seeing results from one's efforts, of growing with a leader in its field and contributing to its success. Each sought a very special kind of career, but each takes special pride in being associated with KSA today. D W e ' d b e disappointed, to say the least, if Tech men didn't make up a sizeable portion of the new consultants we'll be adding to our staff in coming months. Tech men are a very special kind of people—the kind KSA needs. If you're a Tech graduate with independence, analytical ability, objectivity and drive, and would like to learn more about career opportunities with KSA in the areas listed below, please contact Mr. Ron Brockett at our Atlanta office. D KSA's services include industrial engineering, operations research, systems analysis and design, physical distribution, operator training, personnel, marketing, and general management.
