TECHNOLOGY WEEK

Man in His Environment

By Karen Teske

been known for their ingenuity and perseverance when the going gets rough. They still deviously register the legendary George P. Burdell for classes and steal the "T" from the Tech tower, but today's enterprising students often put their skills to work in more constructive endeavors.

Start with one of the biggest national headaches todayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;environmental problems. Add the difficulties encountered in gathering representatives from the diverse fields of education, industry and government to work together for solutions. Take the chance of a completely student-run national conference, and throw in a five percent institutional budget cut after most plans are complete. For a finishing touch, discover that a major speaker in the conference has just been fired from his cabinet post by the President of the United States.

This combination of events should be enough to beat the average man. But not Brent Jorgeson, a junior industrial management major from Thomaston, Georgia, who typifies the Tech "student activist."

Brent presented the original idea for Technology Week, a three-day national symposium on environmental problems, and served as coordinator of the conference held on the Tech campus in late February. Brent was appointed chairman of the Student Center's Special Events Committee during spring quarter 1970. In planning events for the coming year, he realized that Georgia Tech had

T

ECH STUDENTS have traditionally

never put on a large-scale program during National Engineers Week.

After discussions with friends and Student Center officials, Brent presented a proposal to the Center's Governing Board in May 1970. The Board established the Technology Week Committee and named Brent coordinator.

"Since Tech has a national reputation in athletics and academics, we felt that our program should be carried out on a national scale," said Brent. "We wanted to emphasize the positive aspects of technology. We believe that people should not look at technology as the cause of our environmental problems, but rather as the means by which we will solve these problems.

"It seemed that government was blaming industry, industry was blaming government, and the public was shaking its fist at both industry and government. As a result, nothing was being done by anyone. We decided to bring together leaders from education, industry and government, along with the general public, to find positive solutions to the problem."

In June 1970 Brent, Student Government President Dan Pittard, Student Center President Ros Bowers and Student Center Director Tim Mitchell travelled to Washington, D. C. to enlist speakers and support for their idea. Their presentation resulted in tentative speaking commitments from Walter J. Hickel, former Secretary of the Interior; Charles Percy, Republican senator from

Ed Cole, President of General Motors (left), and Walter Hickel, former Secretary of the Interior, exchange views informally during a question-and-answer session.

Illinois; John J. Flynt, Georgia's Sixth District Congressman; and Harold Finger, Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology, Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Senators Percy, Herman Talmadge, Edmund Muskie, Edward Kennedy, Richard Russell, Barry Gold water and J . W. Fulbright sent letters of support to the Technology Week Committee.

Working closely with the Georgia Society of Professional Engineers, the Committee decided to shorten the conference to three days so t h a t outof-town participants could stay for the entire program.

B

recalls t h a t plans proceeded smoothly until late November. While visiting his brother in Detroit for Thanksgiving holidays, Brent spent one afternoon telling plans for Technology Week. T h a t evening, his brother picked up the daily newspaper and threw it in Brent's lap.

The headline read "Hickel Fired From Cabinet Post."

After recovering from the initial shock, Brent decided to take this apparent setback as a challenge and make sure that Hickel would still come to Atlanta.

"We decided t h a t we wanted Hickel even more after he had been fired," Brent said. "Now he could speak more freely."

President Hansen tried to call Hickel in Washington in early December. He was told t h a t Hickel no longer worked there and that there was no forwarding address.

People began to suggest t h a t Hickel's alternate be asked to come to Technology Week. B u t Brent said no. He tried to reach Mike Levitt, one of Hickel's aides who had shown great enthusiasm for the program. But he discovered t h a t Levitt had been fired two weeks before the Secretary of the Interior himself.

Two weeks went by. The next source was Brent's Congressman J o h n J . Flynt of Georgia's Sixth District. He secured Hickel's phone number in Anchorage. Again, President Hansen tried to reach Hickel by phone, b u t was unsuccessful because of the shortage of telephone cables to Alaska.

On J a n u a r y 15, there was still no word t h a t Hickel would come to Tech the following month.

Then Dave Ness, Student Center Program Director, RENT

read t h a t Hickel had scheduled a press conference in Washington t h a t weekend.

Brent reasoned t h a t if Hickel were somewhere in Washington, his former aide Levitt might be there too. He found Levitt a t home and told the former aide about the progress made on Technology Week. Levitt said he would see Hickel t h a t week and would remind him of his tentative commitment.

Tech students finally got a call through to Anchorage the following week. Hickel's aide Malcolm Roberts said t h a t Hickel was in New York and had made no public speaking engagements to date. He said that Hickel would decide on future activities sometime that week and promised to call Tech with a definite answer about Technology Week. Students set up a 24-hour answering service in the Student Center.

On J a n u a r y 26, Roberts returned Brent's call and casually asked, "How's everything in Atlanta?"

Brent replied, "You tell me if Hickel is coming, and I'll tell you how everything is in Atlanta." Roberts confirmed Hickel's speaking commitment and Brent answered, "Everything's just fine in Atlanta!"

of Illinois opened the Technology Week conference on Sunday evening, February 21, in the Alexander Memorial Coliseum. "As human beings, as consumers, we all live in environmental glass houses, and we will achieve nothing if we continue to throw stones a t each other," he said.

"In my judgement, we can most effectively enlist business in the environmental crusade by appealing to its economic self-interest," Percy said. "This appeal takes its shape in the form of enlightened policies and pressures exerted by the consuming public."

Percy said t h a t government can make it more

expensive to pollute than not to pollute. "Education can help society as a whole realize the priority of the environmental issue. Technological forces may be fatal to our environmental system if we do not abandon the reckless procedure of polluting first and investigating and correcting mistakes later," the senator added.

Harold Finger, assistant secretary of HUD, spoke on "Technology's Role in Environmental Management." He called for technology assessment to evaluate problemsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;both "hardware" and societalâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; created by technology. He said officials must abandon the practice of acting first and studying consequences later.

Finger said that federal and international regulations would be required to see a marked improvement in environmental conditions.

General Motors Corporation President Edward N. Cole presented an industrial viewpoint at the conference. Cole defended the work the automotive industry had undertaken in both automotive emission control and factory waste treatment. He reaffirmed the internal combustion engine as the only compact, inexpensive, and therefore logical unit to power an automobile. He dispelled steam, electricity and other methods as inadequate or undesirable.

Cole said that the rescheduling of the requirement for zero level emission from 1980 to 1975 "asks too much too soon." He continued, "Based on current technology, we do not know how to achieve the near zero levels which could be required by the new legislation in the time frame prescribed. But it is the law and we intend to do everything possible to comply."

Cole also discussed rapid transit. "The survival of our cities will depend to a large degree on the foresight and management skill with which we plan today to meet the urban transportation requirements for the rest of this century."

In his first public speaking engagement since he was fired, Walter Hickel named mass rapid transit as the top priority in government's role in environmental management. "We must reclaim our cities from the automobile and give them back to the people," he said. "It is time that a great portion of the money which now goes into the highway trust fund be turned over to mass rapid transit."

"In those areas where people refuse to listen, or

T T e must reclaim our cities from the automobile and give them back to the people." where the dimensions of the problems go beyond individual control, government has got to take a strong stand," Hickel said. "One of the hard realities of a free society is that freedom ends when it infringes on the rights of others."

Hickel said that industry will accept strict pollution control if it is administered equally to all. "If all competitors must include environmental protection as the cost of doing business, there is no complaint."

Dr. David Rose, professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Director of Long Range Planning at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, spoke on "Education's Role in Environmental Management."

He suggested that engineering students should be exposed to an interdisciplinary curriculum, with strength in the social sciences as well as natural sciences. Beyond the university level, Dr. Rose proposed a closer relationship between state government and the university, similar to that of the federal government. "There could be a State Board of Science and Technology, State Science Foundations, and other organizations to integrate state and university problem solving."

In addition to the major speakers, the week featured technological exhibits erected by government, industry and various departments at Georgia Tech.

A number of panel discussions complemented the key speeches. Harold Finger; Dr. David Rose; Dr. Lyle Roberts, director of Tech's Department of Nuclear Engineering; and two Georgia Tech students participated in a panel on "How Will We Meet Our Energy Requirements?"

Edward Cole; Reg Murphy, editor of the Atlanta Constitution; Charles Younger, city attorney, Huntsville, Alabama; Craig Lentz, national cochairman of the Clean Air Car Race; and Kip Hewitt, editor-in-chief of Business Today magazine,

Throughout the week the speakers mingled with the students, listening and exchanging ideas.

discussed "Problems of Developing and Enforcing Air Quality Regulations."

The final panel discussion asked "What Does the College Graduate Need to Know about Environmental Management?" Panelists were Dr. Rose; Robert Chambers, chairman of the Envirotech Corporation; Mike Levitt, Harvard faculty member and former aide to Hickel; Congressman John J. Flynt of Georgia and Jim Williams, vice president of Coca-Cola, U.S.A. The conference was not limited to scheduled speeches and panels. Key speakers spent time talking personally with students and other participants. Edward Cole surprised many people when he stood up from the audience during a forum following Hickel's speech and spontaneously exchanged ideas with Hickel in front of 2,500 people. Hickel conversed with students in his hotel room, and Cole talked with students for almost two hours in a hospitality suite. Rose and Finger talked personally with students throughout the week.

Georgia Tech paid expenses for student leaders from the top 40 colleges to attend the conference.

In evaluating Technology Week, these students agreed that it was worthwhile and hoped that similar conferences would take place on other campuses.

W

told students that "Monday (February 22) was the most satisfying day I've spent in public service."

Edward Cole later commented that "Technology Week was an excellent example of constructive inquiry which made a significant contribution to understanding the relationship between technology and the environment. It also provided a chance to explore the roles of business, education, government and individual citizens in directing their separate and collective efforts toward common national goals in environmental areas."

Technology Week did produce some concrete results. National student leaders returned to their own campuses with information and resources to initiate environmental programs in their schools.

Comments and proposals made during and after Technology Week are being incorporated into a letter containing specific recommendations. This ALTER HICKEL

echnology Week was an excellent example of constructive inquiry."

letter will be sent to President Richard Nixon; Rodgers Morton, Secretary of the Interior; Russell Train, Chairman of the President's Council on Environmental Quality; and William Rucklehaus, Director of the Environmental Protection Agency.

The recommendations propose pollution control with strict and uniform guidelines; mass education as to what the problem is and how individuals can help solve it; student awareness of socioeconomic factors in environmental management; more research, especially to determine whether new chemicals or industrial processes are harmful to the environment; and programs for population control.

At Georgia Tech, a new organization called "Tech Environmental Action Committee" has been formed as a result of Technology Week. Its goals are to clean up public areas and help recycle solid waste.

In addition, TEAC will provide jobs for high school and college students. On a Saturday, groups containing one college student and six high school students meet at Tech and go out to clean various areas of the city. Students are paid for their work, and in turn perform a service for the city.

"I feel that the positive results of Technology Week will continue to grow as time goes on," Brent said. "This was a unique opportunity for Georgia Tech students to talk first hand with prominent leaders from industry, education and government."

Brent thought that a positive result of the week, as far as Georgia Tech is concerned, was the cohesiveness and spirit shown by all factions of the Tech community. "In a time when so many other schools are plagued with problems of poor working relationships among the student body, faculty, administration and alumni, it was encouraging to see that at Georgia Tech, for Technology Week, as well as on other programs, these elements of the college community have worked together so well."

After major addresses, panels composed of diverse personalities (top) thrashed the topics out at greater length. Dr. Hansen (bottom left) and Governor Carter (bottom right) welcomed the speakers and the visitors from major universities.

Revised Edition

On March 1, 1945, there arrived on the Tech campus, a dog of dubious ancestry who was to become in just over two years, one of the most beloved traditions in the post-war history of the school. The black and white, long-haired mongrel was immediately dubbed "Sideways" by the students because of her angular acceleration caused from an injury received when she was thrown from a car in front of the Varsity. Her gait was in itself something that set Sideways apart from all of the other animals who had made the Tech campus their home. She walked with her head and shoulders about 15 degrees out of phase with her hindquarters. She lived in the dormitories, selecting a different room each night. During the day she would trail the students to classes, take her place halfway back in the room and either look at the professor with an interested gaze (if he impressed her with his delivery) or go to sleep (if he was one of the dull speakers). Her favorites were D. M. Smith of Mathematics and E. E. Bortell of Physics. She never tired of D. M.'s humorous approach to teaching or Bortell's trick of erasing the blackboard with one hand while he was writing with the other. She checked the kitchen at Brittain Dining Hall each day, frustrating the employees as she sampled the food.

Sideways' life at Tech was full of excitement. She was constantly being picked up by dogcatchers or by Georgia students, and the Atlanta newspapers never grew tired of writing articles about her. And the Tech students never grew tired of her. They would gather up money to bail her out of trouble or fight to get her back from the dognappers from Athens.

Her career as a morale builder on campus came to a sudden end when she ate some poison put out for rats and died on August 14, 1947, by the side of the Old Infirmary.

After her death, a group of students led by Roy Barnes, now head of an insurance company, decided to place a permanent plaque on the campus in the memory of the dog that became a legend in her lifetime. Aided by Dean George Griffin, Barnes and his cohorts secured a monument as a gift from the McNeel Marble Company of Marietta. When Morgan McNeel, the alumnus who headed that company then, asked what he thought should be inscribed on the monument, Barnes answered in jest "How about, here lies Sideways, sideways."

However saner heads prevailed (although the author is positive that with her sense of humor, Sideways would have liked Barnes' approach) and the monument was placed on the dog's grave in the small plot, northwest of the Administration Building on March 11, 1948. Barnes speaking at the ceremony said, "Although her conduct and relations with gentlemen dogs were not always quite so virtuous as could be desired, she was intensely loyal and won a fond place in the hearts of the student body." And she did, for at every reunion of the classes of that era, the call goes up for Barnes to recite his legend of Sideways.

Five years ago the idea would have been absurd.

Today it is an urgently relevant question . . . one that is uppermost in the minds of campus officials. For institutions that depend upon public confidence and support for their financial welfare, their freedom, and their continued exist-, ence, it is perhaps the ultimate question:

Are Americans Losing Faith in their

Colleges?

A SPECIAL REPORT

,H

Dear President X:

I AM WRITING TO EXPLAIN my resignation from the Alumni Schools Committee and the regional committee of the Capital Campaign.

I can no longer make a meaningful contribution to these programs. To be effective, I must be totally committed. Unfortunately, as a result of changes at Z University over the past few years, I can no longer conscientiously recommend the university to students and parents. And I cannot with enthusiasm ask my fellow alumni to make financial contributions when I personally have decided to withhold my support.

Like many alumni and alumnae, I have been increasingly concerned over the manner in which the university has permitted the student body to take over the "running of the store." Even worse, our colleges and universities seem willing to have them take over the country. I am not anti-youth, but I do not believe that there is something magical about being 18 or 20 years old that gives students all the correct answers and an inherent right to impose their views about everything on the rest of us. The faculty has clearly demonstrated that it is unwilling or unable to exercise moral leadership and, indeed, has often guided the students into actions that are irresponsible at best and dangerous at worst.

The university, it seems, is easily intimidated by the students into supporting strikes, canceling classes, disregarding academic standards, and repressing individuals and groups who speak for the so-called "establishment." By failing to take a stand and to discipline those who violate campus rules, you have encouraged an atmosphere in which laws, traditions, and basic moral values are held in contempt by growing numbers of our young people.

I fear for the existence of Z University as a forum for the free discussion of ideas. A great chorus of anti-establishment rhetoric has issued from a vocal left-wing group on the campus, supported by ultra-liberals on the faculty. I am afraid the university has abandoned its role of educator, to become a champion of partisan politics. And this bodes ill for our democratic society.

All of this may sound like the rantings of a hard-hat conservative. But it is the measure of the situation on the campus that one who has always been rather liberal politically can sqund like a reactionary when he takes issue with the radical students of today.

Sincerely, Alumnus Y

Dear Alumnus Y:

I AM VERY SORRY to lose the services and support of an alumnus who has worked so hard and so successfully for Z University. I am equally sorry that you seem to have lost confidence in the university. An institution of higher education depends on its alumni and alumnae for understanding and support even in the quiet times. In troubled days like these, there is nowhere else to turn.

I won't try to persuade you to accept any assignment or even to continue your financial support. But I do feel compelled to comment on your loss of faith in the university.

Your concern obviously centers on such perplexing and basic questions as the rights and responsibilities of students and faculty, the problems of campus governance, and the danger of politicizing the university. We certainly share your concerns. It is tempting to long for the good old days when problems

( ' -J

were not s< complex. Bat in fact these are serious problems to which there are no easy mswers. We wrestle with them every day.

You are certainly right to be worried about the existence of this university (and all cai puses) as a forum for the free discussion of ideas. There are many who would use the American college or university in a political struggle to advance their own political ideas. Even well-meaning students would do so, because they do not understand the dangers of such action, Those of us charged wi h the responsibility must fight with all our wit and strength to prevent thai from happening.

I do not think we can win by using force or repression. Rather, we must continue to work with students to convince them that their efforts to politicize the universty can destroy it, and this would be terribly costly to society as a whole. When and if the line must be drawn, then we will draw it and deal with the consequences. But we will do everything we can to avoid actions that will limit our options and bring about the violence and polarization that have crippled some great institutions.

It is clear to me that the colleges and universities in America are, to a very considerable degree, reflecting the problems and divisions of the larger society.

That can he unpleasant and painful, but it is in some ways a proper and very useful role for a college or university to play.

Consider, if you will, society's other institutions. Can you think of any that are not in similar turmoil? The church, the public schools, the courts, the city halls, the political parties, the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all of these institutions are also feeling the profound pressures of change, and all are struggling to adapt to problems and needs that no society has ever faced before. If we as citizens and members of these institutions respond simply by withdrawing from them or repudiating them, then I fear not only for the future of our institutions but for the future of our nation. Disraeli once said, "Individuals may form communities, but only institutions can make a nation."

T

.HIS UNIVERSITY is INDEED INVOLVED in the controversy which engulfsJ LAmerica and from which progress and constructive change "will one day HI come. Our students and faculty are indeed concerned and vocal about the rights of their fellow citizens, about the war, about the environment, about the values of our society. If it were otherwise, our alumni and alumnae would certainly be justified in refusing to support us.

Very simply, Mr. Y, the current generation of young people will one day run this nation. They are here and cannot be traded in for a quieter, more polite, more docile group. Nor should anyone want to trade them in. This university cannot abandon them, or isolate them, or reject them. Our mission is to work with these young people, to sensitize them, humanize them, educate them, liberate them from their ignorances and prejudices. We owe that to the students but even more to the country and to our alumni and alumnae.

The course is uncharted, to be sure; it will be uncomfortable at times and somewhat hazardous in spots; but it is the only course a great university can follow.

I'm sorry you won't be on board.

Sincerely, President X

I HE LETTERS on the preceding two pages typify a problem of growing seriousness for U.S. colleges and universities: More and more Americans—alumni, parents, politicians, and the general public—are dissatisfied with the way things have been going on the nation's campuses.

"For the first time in history," says Roger A. Freeman, former special assistant to President Nixon, "it appears that the profound faith of the American people in their educational institutions has been shaken, and their belief in the wisdom of our educational leaders and in the soundness of their goals or practices has turned to doubt and even to outright disapproval."

The people's faith has been shaken by many things: campus violence, student protest, permissiveness, a lack of strict discipline, politicization of the campus, the rejection of values and mores long-cherished by the larger society. Complicating the problem is a clash of life-styles between the generations which has raised a deafening static and made communication extremely difficult between students and their off-campus elders.

(At one meeting not long ago, an angry alumnus turned on a student and shouted, "I just can't hear you. Your hair is in my ears.")

How many people are disenchanted, how strongly they feel, and how they will act to express their discontent is not yet clear. But there is little doubt about the feelings and actions of many political leaders at all levels of government. Vice President Spiro T. Agnew spoke for many of them: "When one looks back across the history of the last decade—at the smoking ruins of a score of college buildings, at the outbreaks of illegal and violent protests and disorders on hundreds of college campuses, at the regular harassment and interruption and shouting down of speakers, at the totalitarian spirit evident among thousands of students and hundreds of faculty members, at the decline of genuine academic freedom to speak and teach and learn—that record hardly warrants a roaring vote of confidence in the academic community that presided over the disaster."

Many state legislators are indicating by their actions that they share the Vice President's views. Thirty-two states have passed laws to establish or tighten campus regulations against disruption and to punish student and faculty offenders and, in some cases, the institutions themselves. A number of states have added restrictive amendments to appropriations bills, thus using budget allocations as leverage to bring colleges and universities into line.

JLhe public has clearly indicated displeasure with higher education'

The chancellor of California's state college system described the trend last fall: "When I recently asked a legislator, '. . . Why did the legislature take what appears to me, and to most faculty and administrators in the state college system, to be punitive action in denying [a] cost-of-living increase to professors?'—he replied, 'Because it was the public's will.'

"We find ourselves confronted with a situation unlike that of any previous year. The 'public,' through the legislature, has clearly indicated displeasure with higher education . . . We must face the fact that the public mood, as reflected in the legislature, has taken a substantial turn against higher education overall."

A similar mood prevails in Washington. Federal support of higher education has slowed. Congressmen who have been friendly to higher education in the past openly admit that they face growing resistance to their efforts to provide funds for new and existing programs. Rep. Edith Green, chairman of .the House of Representatives subcommittee that has jurisdiction over bills affecting colleges and universities, observed during the last session, "It would be most unwise to try to bring to the floor this year a bill on higher education, because the climate is so unfavorable."

I

America's institutions of higher education will be in deep trouble. Even with the full confidence of the American people, most of the nation's colleges and universities would be experiencing financial difficulties.

Without the public's confidence, it is now evident that large numbers of those institutions simply cannot survive.

Three years ago, the editors of this report published a special article on the financial outlook of American higher education at that time. The article began: "We are facing what might easily become a crisis in the financing of American higher education." And it concluded: "Unless the American people—especially the college and university alumni—can come alive to the F THIS APPARENT LOSS OF FAITH PERSISTS,

A wk

reality of higher education's impending crisis, then the problems of today will become the disasters of tomorrow."

Tomorrow has arrived. And the situation is darker than we, or anyone else, anticipated—darkened by the loss of public confidence at the very time when, given the best of conditions, higher education would have needed the support of the American people as never before in its history.

If the financial situation was gloomy in 1968, it is desperate on most campuses today. The costs of higher education, already on the rise, have risen even faster with the surging inflation of the past several years. As a result of economic conditions and the growing reluctance of individual and organizational contributors, income is lagging even farther behind costs than before, and the budgetary deficits of three years ago are even larger and more widespread.

This situation has led to an unprecedented flood of appeals and alarms from the academic community.

• James M. Hester, president of New York University and head of a White House task force on higher education, states that "virtually every public and private institution in the country is facing severe financial pressures."

• A. R. Chamberlain, president of Colorado State ' University, sees financing as "the most serious problem—even more serious than student dissent—that higher education will face in the 1970's." Many state legislators are angry, and the budgets of dozens of publicly supported colleges and universities are feeling the effects of their wrath.

• The smaller and less affluent colleges—with few financial reserves to tide them over a period of public disaffection—may be in the direst straits. "We are dying unless we can get some help," the president of Lakeland College, appearing in behalf of small liberal arts insdtutions, told a congressional committee. He added: "A slow death as we are experiencing goes practically unnoticed. This is part of our problem; nobody will even notice until after it happens."

(Few noticed, perhaps, the demise of 21 institutions reported in the 1969-70 Office of Education Directory, or that of several others which have decided to go out of business since the directory was published.)

• Preliminary figures from a study of financial problems at the 900 member institutions of the Association of American Colleges indicate that an alarming number of colleges are going into the red. William W. _ Jellema, the association's research director, estimates Photographs by Erich Hartmann, Magnum

A he situation is darker than we—or anyone else—anticipated

that about one-fourth of all private liberal arts colleges in the nation are now drawing on their endowments in one way or another to meet operating expenses.

• At least half of the 70 private colleges and universities in Illinois are operating at a loss. A special commission created to study their fiscal problems warned that deficits "threaten the solvency, the quality, the vitality—even the survival—of some institutions."

The lieutenant governor of Illinois predicts that onethird of the nation's private colleges may go out of existence by the end of the decade, unless state governments provide financial assistance.

• Predominantly black colleges and universities are feeling the pinch. The former president of one such institution put the problem in these terms: "If all the black students at Harvard, M.I.T., Brandeis, and the main campus of the University of Virginia were suddenly to drop out of college, there would be headlines all over the country. But the number of black students who will drop out of my school this year is equal to the number of black students* at those four schools, and nothing will be said about it. We could keep most of them for another $500 apiece, but we don't have it."

Even the "rich" institutions are in trouble. At Yale University, President Kingman Brewster noted that if the present shrinkage of funds were to continue for another year, Yale "would either have to abandon the quality of what we are doing, or abandon great discernible areas of activity, or abandon the effort to be accessible on the merits of talent, not of wealth, or of race, or of inheritance." As the current academic year began, Yale announced that its projected deficit might well be larger than anticipated and therefore a freeze on hiring would be in effect until further notice—no new positions and no replacements for vacancies. The rest of the Ivy League faces similar problems.

R

has become a household word in campus administrative offices and board rooms everywhere. It is heard at every type of college and university—large and small, public and ETRENCHMENT

private—and in every part of the country. For example: • One morning several months ago, the trustees of a member-institution of the prestigious Association of American Universities spent several hours discussing the eventual necessity of scaling down to a small-college operation.

• Saint Louis University has closed its school of dentistry and is phasing out its school of engineering.

• Tufts University has eliminated its school of theology.

• Case Western Reserve University has terminated its graduate physical therapy program.

• A large university in the South has been forced to phase out six Ph.D. programs.

• Huston-Tillotson College has cut back on its athletic program, reduced the number of course offerings, and eliminated several faculty positions.

• Reed College has taken steps to cut the size of its student body and to raise the student-faculty ratio.

• A high-priced nuclear reactor at an Eastern state university stands idle for lack of research support and operational funds.

The Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, president of the University of Notre Dame, sums it up this way: "In the 25 years that I have been associated with the university . . . I can think of no period more difficult than the present. Never before has the university taken on more tasks, and been asked to undertake many more, while the sources of support, both public and private, both moral and financial, seem to be drying up."

T

HE FINANCIAL SITUATION is nowhere more urgent than in the medical schools. Forty-three of the country's 107 medical schools are in such severe financial straits that they are getting "disaster grants" from the federal government this year.

Dr. John Cooper, president of the Association of American Medical Colleges, warns that "the whole financial structure of our medical schools is gravely threatened." He blames cuts in federal funding (which provides more than 50 per cent of many medical school budgets) as well as inflation and reductions in Medicaid to hospitals.

Cutbacks in federal programs have also begun to erode the quality and effectiveness of academic science.

Prominent scientists, who are not given to overdramatizing the facts, have issued urgent warnings.

Jerome Wiesner, provost of M.I.T. and former Presidential science adviser, said: "Cutbacks now in scientific research may cost the nation its leadership in

science and technology, and its economic well-being in the decades ahead."

Teams of scientists and technicians, painstakingly organized over the years, are now being scattered.

Training and educational programs that provided the country with scientific manpower are faltering, and some have been forced to shut down.

Philip Handler, president of the National Academy of Sciences, has said: "Our national apparatus for the conduct of research and scholarship is not yet dismantled, but it is falling into shambles." The universities are the backbone of that apparatus. When support of the universities weakens, science weakens.

W

HAT ALL THIS ADDS UP TO is a crisis of un-

precedented proportions for higher education—"the greatest financial crisis it has ever had," in the words of Clark Kerr, chairman of the authoritative Carnegie Commission on Higher Education.

Dr. Kerr's commission recently determined that two in every three U.S. colleges and universities were facing financial "hard times." Some 540 institutions, the commission estimated, were already "in financial difficulty"; another 1,000 were found to be "headed for financial trouble."

"Serious enough to be called a depression," was the estimate of Earl F. Cheit, professor of business administration at the University of California, who studied higher education institutions of all types for the Carnegie Commission and concluded that almost all colleges and universities eventually may be in financial difficulty.

(In the course of his study, Mr. Cheit found that most college presidents believed that the loss of public confidence in higher education was, in large measure, at the root of much of the trouble.)

A

LARMS about higher education's financial plight have been raised regularly over the years, simL ply because financial hardship has always been a fact of life for colleges and universities. In the past, the warnings and admonitions have produced at least enough response to provide some monetary relief and to forestall disaster. But the problem has grown steadily worse in recent years, and educators are pessimistic about the federal government's, or the state legislatures', or the alumni's coming to the rescue this time. In fact, the turmoil on the campuses and the growing antagonism toward the academic community could result in the situation becoming even worse.

The basic fiscal problem of colleges and universities is rather simple. They are nonprofit institutions which depend for their income on tuition and fees, interest on endowment, private gifts, and government grants.

Tuition and fees do not cover the cost of education, particularly of graduate education, so the difference must be made up from the other sources. For private institutions, that means endowment income and gifts and grants. For state institutions, it generally means legislative appropriations, with relatively small amounts coming from endowment or private gifts.

In recent years, both costs and income have gone up, but the former have risen considerably faster than the latter. The widening gap between income and expenditures would have been enough in itself to bring colleges and universities to the brink of financial crisis. Reductions in funding, particularly by the government, have' pushed the institutions over the brink.

Federal support for higher education multiplied nearly fivefold from 1960 to 1971, but the rate has slackened sharply in the past three years. And the future is hot very promising. The president of a Washington-based educational association said bluntly: "In Washington, there is a singular lack of enthusiasm for supporting higher education generally or private higher education in particular."

Highly placed Administration officials have pointed out that colleges and universities have received a great deal of federal money, but that the nation has many urgent problems and other high priorities that are competing for the tax dollar. It cannot be assumed, they add, that higher education will continue to receive such a substantial share of federal aid.

Recent actions make the point even more dramatically: • The number of federally supported first-year graduate fellowships will be nearly 62 per cent lower in 1971-72 than in 1967-68. ' • The National Science Foundation has announced that it will not continue to make grants for campus computer operations. The foundation reports that— when inflation is considered—federal funds for research at colleges and universities declined 11 per cent between fiscal 1967 and 1970.

• The Higher Education Facilities Act of 1963, which helped to pay for much of the construction on campuses during the past seven years, is being phased out. In 1967 the outlay was $700-million; last year President Nixon requested no funds for construction.

Instead he proposed an interest subsidy to prompt insti-

JLhe golden age: "we have discovered that it was only gold-plated"

tutions to borrow construction money from private sources. But a survey of state higher education commissions indicated that in most states fewer than 25 per cent of the institutions could borrow money on reasonable repayment terms in today's financial market.

Six states reported that none of their private institutions could borrow money on reasonable terms.

• The federal government froze direct loans for academic facilities in 1968. On June 30, 1969, the Office of Education had $223-million in applications for loans not approved and $582-million in grants not approved. Since then only $70-million has been made available for construction.

• The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has reduced its obligations to universities from $130-million in 1969 to $80-million in 1971.

"Losing federal support," says a university research scientist, "is almost worse than never having received it." Since much of higher education's expansion during the '60's was financed with federal funds, the withdrawal of federal assistance leaves the institutions with huge commitments and insufficient resources to meet them— commitments to faculty, to students, to programs.

The provost of a university in the Northeast notes wistfully: "A decade ago, we thought we were entering a golden age for higher education. Now we have discovered that it was only gold-plated."

M

can be said about state funds for public higher education. The 50 states , appropriated $7-billion for 1970-71, nearly $1-billion more than in any previous year and five times as much as in 1959-60. But a great part of this increase went for new facilities and new institutions to accommodate expanding enrollments, rather than for support of existing institutions that were struggling to maintain their regular programs. Since public institutions are not permitted to operate with fiscal deficits, the danger is that they will be forced to operate with quality deficits.

"Austerity operations are becoming a fact of life for UCH THE SAME

a growing number of institutions," says the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges.

Many public institutions found their budgets cut this year or their requests for capital funds denied or reduced. Colorado State University's capital construction request for this year was cut from $11.4-million to $2.6-million in the face of projected enrollment increases of 3,600 juniors and seniors.

As state support has started to level off, public institutions have begun to raise tuition—a move that many feel is contrary to the basic philosophy of public higher education. The University of California is imposing a tuition charge for the first time in its history.

The University of Illinois has boosted tuition by 60 per cent. Between 1959 and 1969, tuition and required fees doubled at public institutions.

Tuition in public institutions still does not approach tuition in private colleges and universities, which is now nearing $3,000 in many places. At these levels, private institutions are having increasing difficulty attracting applicants from middle-income families. Many small liberal arts colleges, which depend on tuition for as much as 80 per cent of their income, are losing students to less expensive public institutions. Consequently, many smaller private colleges reported vacancies in their entering classes last fall—an indication that they may be pricing Themselves out of the market.

Private giving is not likely to take up the slack; quite the contrary. The tax reform laws, recent declines in corporate profits, pressures to redirect resources to such pressing problems as environmental pollution, and the mounting unrest on the campuses have all combined to slow the pace of private giving to colleges and universities.

The Commission on Foundations and Private Philanthropy concluded that "private giving is simply not keeping pace with the needs of charitable organizations." The commission predicted a multibilliondollar deficit in these organizations by 1975.

Colleges and universities have been working harder in their fund-raising efforts to overcome the effects of campus unrest and an ailing economy. Generally, they have been holding the line. An Associated Press survey of some 100 colleges throughout the country showed that most schools were meeting fund-drive goals—including some which experienced serious student disruption. Although the dollar amount of contributions has risen somewhat at most schools, the number of contributors has declined.

J. he consequences may go well beyond the campuses

"That is the scary part of it," commented one development officer. "We can always call on good friends for the few big gifts we need to reach the annual goal, but attrition in the number of donors will cause serious problems over the long run."

A

LL OF THIS quite obviously bodes ill for our colleges and universities. Some of them may L have to close their doors. Others will have to retrench—a painful process that can wipe out quality gains that have taken years to accomplish. Students may find themselves paying more and getting less, and faculty may find themselves working harder and earning less. In short, a continuation of the fiscal crisis can do serious damage to the entire higher educational establishment.

But the negative consequences will go well beyond the campus. "What happens to American higher education will ultimately happen to America," in the words of one observer. Examples: • Much of the nation's technological progress has been solidly based on the scientific effort of the universities. To the degree that the universities are weakened, the country's scientific advancement will be slowed.

• The United States needs 50,000 more medical doctors and 150,000 more medical technicians right now. Yet the cutback in federal funds. is leading to retrenchment in medical schools, and some 17 are threatened with closing.

• For two decades U.S. presidents and Congress have been proclaiming as a national goal the education of every young person to the limit of his ability.

Some 8.5-million students are now enrolled in our colleges and universities, with 12-million projected by 1980. The Carnegie Commission on Higher Education recommends the creation of between 230 and 280 new community colleges in the next decade and an additional 50 urban four-year colleges to serve metropolitan areas. Yet federal programs to aid in campus construction are being phased out, states are cutting back on

capital expenditures, student aid programs are being reduced, and colleges are being forced to close their doors.

• Governmental rulings are now clearly directed to integrating black Americans into the larger society and creating equal educational opportunities for them and for the nation's poor. Many colleges and universities have enlisted in that cause and have been recruiting minority-group students. This is a costly venture, for the poor require almost complete scholarship support in order to matriculate in a college. Now, the shortage of funds is hampering the effort.

• An emergent national goal in the 1970's will be the cleaning of the environment and the restoration of the country's urban centers as safe, healthy, and sane places to live. With this in mind, the National Science Foundation has shifted the emphasis in some of its major programs toward the environmental and social sciences. But institutions which face major retrenchment to offset growing deficits will be seriously constrained in their efforts to help solve these pressing social problems.

"The tragedy," says the president of a large state university, "is that the society is rejecting us when we need it most—and I might add when it most needs us."

T

loss of confidence in the colleges and universities threatens not only their financial welfare, but their freedom as well.

Sensing the public's growing dissatisfaction with the campuses, state legislators and federal officials have been taking actions which strike directly at the autonomy and independence of the nation's educational institutions.

Trustees and regents have also begun to tighten controls on colleges and universities. A number of presidents have been fired, frequently for not dealing more harshly with student and faculty disrupters.

"We are in a crossfire," a university president points out. "Radical students and faculty are trying to capture our universities, and they are willing to destroy our freedom in the effort. Authorities, on the other hand, would sacrifice our freedom and autonomy to get at the radicals."

The dilemma for college and university officials is a particularly painful one. If they do not find effective ways to deal with the radicals—to halt campus violence and resist efforts to politicize the institutions— outside forces will exert more and more control. On the other hand, if administrators yield to outside pressures HE PUBLIC'S

A l u m n i who understand can help to restore the public confidence

and crack down on radicals, they are likely to radicalize moderate students and damage academic freedom and individual rights in the process.

McGeorge Bundy, president of the Ford Foundation, summed it up this way: "To the degree that violence subsides and the university community as such is kept separate from political conflict, the danger of attack upon the freedom of the university from the outside will be reduced. No institution which depends upon society for its resources will be allowed—as an institution—to choose sides in the general contests of the democratic process, and violence by the privileged is an uncommonly unpopular phenomenon. If it be true, as I believe, that both politics and violence must be restrained in the academic world for reasons that are intrinsic to the nature of the university, it is also true that when violence spreads and the university is politicized, society as a whole turns hostile—and in a prolonged contest with society as a whole, the university is not a likely winner."

Freedom would be the first casualty—the freedom to teach, the freedom to learn, the freedom to dissent, and the freedom of the academy to govern itself. Truth, objectivity, vitality, and knowledge would fall victim in quick succession. Were this to happen, society as a whole would suffer, for autonomous colleges and universities are indispensable to society's own self-renewal, its own cultural and intellectual advancement, and its own material well-being.

Samuel Gould, former chancellor of the State University of New York, once told his legislature something that is especially relevant today: "A society that cannot trust its universities," he said, "cannot trust itself."

U

Ti

I HE CRISIS on American campuses has no parallel in the history of this nation. It has its roots in divisions of American society as deep as any since the Civil War. The divisions are reflected in violent acts and harsh rhetoric and in the enmity of those Americans who see themselves

as occupying opposing camps. Campus unrest reflects and increases a more profound crisis in the nation as a whole."

Thus did the President's Commission on Campus Unrest begin its somber "call to the American people" last fall. Only greater tolerance and greater understanding on the part of all citizens, the commission declared, can heal the divisions.

If a major disaster for higher education and for society is to be averted, moderate Americans in every segment of society must make their voices heard and their influence felt. That effort must begin on the campuses, for the primary responsibility to increase understanding lies with the academic community.

Polls and studies have made it abundantly clear that the overwhelming majority of faculty members, students, and administrators are moderate people who reject violence as a means of changing either society or the university. These people have been largely silent and inactive; in the vacuum they have left, an impassioned and committed minority has sought to impose its views on the university and the society. The moderate majority must begin to use its collective power to re-establish the campus as a place of reason and free expression where violence will not be tolerated and harsh rhetoric is scorned.

The majority must also rethink and restate—clearly and forcefully—the purpose of our colleges and universities. It has become clear in recent years that too few Americans—both on and off the campus—understand the nature of colleges and universities, how they function, how they are governed, why they must be centers for criticism and controversy, and why they must always be free.

Only such a moderate consensus will be effective in restraining and neutralizing extremists at either end of the political spectrum. The goal is not to stifle dissent or resist reform. Rather, the goal is to preserve colleges and universities as institutions where peaceful dissent

and orderly change can flourish. Violence in the name of reform inevitably results in either repression or a new orthodoxy.

Polls and studies show that most alumni are also moderate people, that they support most of the campus reform that has occurred in recent years, that they share many of the concerns over social problems expressed by activist students, and that they sympathize with college officials in their difficult task of preserving freedom and order on the campus.

"What is surprising," notes a college alumni relations officer, "is not that some alumni are withdrawing their support, but that so many have continued to support us right through the crises and the turmoil." He went on to point out that only one of four alumni and alumnae, on the average, contributes to his or her alma mater.

"Wouldn't it be something," he mused, "if the ones we never hear from rallied round us now." Wouldn't it indeed!

Alumni and alumnae, by virtue of their own educational experience and their relationship to colleges and universities, have a special role to play in helping to restore public confidence in higher education. They can make a special effort to inform themselves and to understand, and they can share their information and understanding with their fellow citizens. Too many Americans, influenced by mass-media coverage which invariably focuses on the turmoil, are ready to believe the worst about higher education, are willing to sanction the punishment of all colleges and universities in order to retaliate against the disruptive minority. Too many Americans have already forgotten the great positive contributions that colleges and universities have made to this nation during the past three decades. Here is where the alumni and alumnae can make a contribution as important as a monetary gift. They can seek to cool passions and to restore perspective. They can challenge and correct misinformation and misconceptions. They can restore the public confidence.

Rich Yunkus' number 40 jersey has been retired, and "Whack" Hyder bears laurels as Georgia College Coach of the Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;just part of the best basketball season in Georgia Tech History.

The finest week in Georgia Tech Basketball history.

That's how the Yellow Jackets wrapped up their best season ever (23-9)â&#x20AC;&#x201D;by recording three straight upsets in the National Invitation Tournament before dropping the championship game to North Carolina. Tech's unexpected success in New York's Madison Square Garden was a rewarding climax to a job well done by coaches and players alike.

When we last left the Jacket cagers, they were anticipating trips to Charlotte and Hawaii and maybe, just maybe, a post-season tourney berth. The Engineers had some road trouble, however, and managed to beat only North Carolina State, while losing to the Tar Heels once and Rainbows twice. Then, with an uncertain future facing them, coach Whack Hyder's troops regrouped and won their final four regular season May-June 1971

games to earn their second consecutive trip to New York.

A lot of folks thought the Jackets would have a short stay in the North when it was learned they would be paired against Eastern power LaSalle, an early NIT favorite. Tech proceeded to send the Explorers back to Philadelphia on an early train, 70-67. Senior forward Tommy Wilson, who was to enjoy an outstanding tournament, had the best night of his career with 21 points on nine of 15 shooting, grabbed 10 rebounds and calmly sank two clinching free throws with three seconds left. Rich Yunkus rebounded from a below-par first half to finish with a game high of 27 points.

Tech thus earned the right to challenge strong Big Ten representative Michigan. There was no way the Jackets could stay with the strong, leaping Wolverines. So the

Engineers, playing a nose-to-nose defense and scrapping under the boards, advanced with a 78-70 victory. Upset No. 2. Yunkus scored 27 points for the fourth straight time in the NIT and snared a difficult 16 rebounds. Robert (Peanut) Murphy, who at 6-2 looks slightly out of place at forward, was red-hot early and added 16 points.

Wilson contributed 15 and defensive ace Frank Samoylo 10 to Tech's balanced attack.

So then came St. Bonaventure, the same Brown Indians who had wrested the Gator Bowl trophy from the Jackets' hands with a last-second 70-68 win in December. This time fortune smiled on Tech and the Jackets moved into the NIT finals by edging the Bonnies, 76-71, in two overtimes. Paul Hoffman had a golden chance to put Tech in the consolation game, but missed two (that's right, a pair of free throws) after the clock had run out on the first extra session. Needing no further # encouragement, the Jackets blitzed St. Bona with seven free throws and a field goal in the second overtime for upset no. 3. Guard Jim Thorne, another senior who has meant much to the Tech basketball scene for the past three years, led the way with a career-high 27 points on 11 of 15 firing.

So this was it. The unsung Jackets, finally beginning to be recognized by the New York Press, would play North Carolina, a deep club that had whipped them 87-58 in Charlotte, for the championship of the 34th annual NIT. The tired Engineers gave it all they had, but wound up on the short end of an 84-66 count.

It was a finale of streaks. It looked like a total disaster when the Tarheels jumped off to an 8-0 lead in the opening minutes. The Jackets rallied to temporarily pull ahead and were down just 44-40 at intermission.

They were back by those same four points with seven minutes left when the Tarheels, more specifically tournament MVP Bill Chamberlain, 27

went on a decisive spree. Wilson and Murphy split 38 points in Tech's losing effort.

Despite that 18-point setback the Jackets had every right to stand tall. No other Tech team had won as many games or scored as many points. Hardly anyone, except the Jackets themselves, believed they could win in New York. Three out of four isn't bad when you're an underdog in every game. Hyder, who qualifies as a fair judge in his 20th season as Tech's head coach, was well pleased after it all was over.

"This has to be the greatest week in Tech basketball history," he said.

"Our players showed great determination and went a long way. They gave me more than any team has ever given me. They refused to believe what people said and anyone who beat them had to prove it to them on the court."

Hyder justly won some official and unofficial honors of his own for

so skillfully handling his team.

Knowledgeable observers commented that the respected Hyder and assistants Byron Gilbreath and Butch Clifton did the most outstanding coaching job in the NIT and one of the best in the country throughout the year. The Atlanta Tipoff Club named Hyder its Georgia college Coach-of-the-Year.

Yunkus, of course, was the big star throughout the 1970-71 season and, for that matter, for the last three years. Big Rich wound up with a bundle of Tech records, many of which likely will stand for some time.

Yunkus, drafted by the NBA Cincinnati Royals in the third round and the ABA Carolina Cougars in the second, scored 2,232 points, better than 600 more than Roger Kaiser sank during his all-America career. The Engineers' best big man in history also holds career standards for scoring average (26.6) and for field goals made, attempted,

and percentage; season records for total points, scoring average, and field goals and free throws made and attempted; and game marks for points, field goals and free throws.

Yunkus had his No. 40 Jersey retired for his accomplishments, an honor bestowed on only one other basketball Yellow Jacketâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Kaiser.

Yunkus will be missed, as will Thorne, Wilson and Howard Thompson. But don't bet that Hyder and his staff won't develop another winning combination next year.

Tech's baseball team opened its season in super fashion, winning 11 of its initial 12 games. Particularly impressive were junior college transfer pitcher Bill Pridgen, who won his first three games including a couple of shutouts; shortstop Larry Elliott, who batted better than .450 in the first dozen games; and freshman first baseman Cam Bonifay, a stickout both in the field and at the plate. Coach Jim Luck's squad listed Tennessee, North Carolina and Wake Forest among its early victims and may possess the right combination of defense, pitching and hitting to continue the 1970-71 success tradition of Bud Carson's footballers and Hyder's quintet.

The Jacket track team, paced by distance runner Joel Majors, completed an eventful indoor season before turning its attention outdoors.

Majors had lowered the school twomile record to 8:55.2 as of this writing and seemed destined to cut several seconds off that time in upcoming meets.

The Tech football staff underwent some changes. Warner Alford, a first-class gentleman and coach, returned to his alma mater, Mississippi, as a linebacker coach, and was replaced by Bill Lewis of Wake Forest. Dick Bestwick first accepted, then turned down, the head Marshall job and now serves Tech as assistant to the head coach and as chief freshman coach.

Another Goodbye Rivumors had

been circulating for about a week, gradually picking u p frequency and substance. It's hard to keep something like a presidential resignation quiet.

About a week prior the student newspaper at P u r d u e University called the Georgia Tech Technique, asking if they had any word about President H a n s e n accepting the presidency of Purdue. T h e only rumor they had heard was that h e had turned the offer down in December but had now accepted effective J u l y 1, 1971.

Signs appeared all over campus announcing a special student meeting for 12:00 noon in the Old Gym, urging students to attend. Faculty members were urged by memorandum to attend the faculty meeting scheduled for 11:00, just before the student meeting.

On Monday, April 11, the radio local news announcers m a d e much of the impending meetings, speculating on the rumors that Hansen was to resign. On Tuesday morning the newspaper carried an article about the expected announcement.

T h e faculty meeting must have

set records for attendance. All seats in the Electrical Engineering auditorium were taken, and faculty members stood along the walls and at the entrance. Dr. Bloom, Associate Vice-President for Academic Affairs, conducted a bit of routine business before t h e arrival of D r .

Hansen. " D o n ' t expect across-theboard raises; the money's not there. . . . Systems Science building a n d SAC-70 are now top two building priorities. . . . Blood drive. . . ."

Comments of "haven't seen some of these people in yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;we need to do this more often" a n d "one way to ensure a good attendance is to have a spectacular program," welcome tension relievers, drew laughs easily from the group.

W h e n President H a n s e n a p peared h e was greeted with enthusiastic applause. T h e announcement was short, softly spoken, to the point.

It is with many mixed emotions that I am informing you of my intent to resign as President of Georgia Tech on July 1. I have been offered the presidency of Purdue University and have accepted that offer.

After a standing ovation, a moment of quiet listening.

In many ways I regret leaving Tech. I have often spoken of the "Tech Mystique" â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that magic \ quality that Tech possesses that i engenders allegiance, loyalty, and devotion. I understand that well and have been most proud to have been a part of Tech. During the four and one-half years I have been at Tech, I have seen many changes. I have watched Tech grow and move toward its goal of quality.

There are many challenges left, but I am now fully confident that they will be met successfully. I once said that it was no longer necessary to talk about Tech's "potential." We were in the game with other topnotch schools and it was time to play the game to win. I leave Tech believing this even more than when I first made the statement. The recent extra help given us by the Board of Regents convinces me that our needs are understood and that we shall have the support required. I wish to personally express my thanks to the Board and particularly Chancellor Simpson for this understanding and support.

I shall always have a very warm spot in my heart for Georgia Tech and shall recall with pride the memory of being a "Ramblin' Wreck." Thank you for all that you have given me. No president could have asked for more.

A t t h e conclusion of his announcement Dr. H a n s e n stepped from the stage a n d m a d e his way toward the exit, shaking h a n d s as h e went, the faculty giving him a standing ovation.

T h e Old G y m was almost a replay of the same scene. T h e crowd of students j a m m e d the seats all the way to the roof girders and spilled onto the floor. D r . H a n s e n was introduced, and all scrambled to their feet applauding, whistling, in a thunderous standing ovation t h a t lasted more than two full minutes, a h u n d r e d and twenty deafening seconds. As the din subsided, Hansen began to speak. T h e message was essentially the same as that presented to the faculty in content: You are the reason I took this job as president almost two years ago. . . . There are many memories I shall take with me . . . your enthusiasm at ball games . . . the rat hats . . . your singing of "Ramblin' Wreck" . . . your willingness to work with me positively. . . . I think back to the memorial service for the Kent State students who died in the spring of last year.

Other schools were torn with violence, but you sat quietly on the grass and, when the service was 29

NEWS OF THE ALUMNI Albany Tech Alumni Club Over one hundred Albany Georgia Tech Alumni and guests were on hand Tuesday, March 9 at the Doublegate Country Club to hear Dr. Arthur G. Hansen honor the club members for their participation in the Institute's 23rd Roll Call. The Albany members achieved a record 95.76 percent participation in the drive, making theirs the top club in its competitive grouping.

The club's performance in the 196870 Roll Call gives it one leg on a trophy which will become the club's own if it stays on top two more years.

Tampa Alumni Club News The Florida West Coast Chapter had a stag beer-and-smoked-fish party at the Mullet Inn on March

8, 1971. Of the 640 local alumni, over 100 attended. This great crowd was treated to a very fine, candid talk

by Coach Carson, followed by questions from the floor and the football "Highlights" film. Other honored guests at the party included University of Tampa head football Coach Bill Fulcher and Coach Chick Granning, both former Yellow Jackets. Coach Carson brought Coach Joe Popp with him, and the always-popular Red Mitchum was honorary emcee.

CHARTER NIGHT IN PUERTO RICO

Indianapolis Georgia Tech Club The winter meeting of the Indianapolis Georgia Tech Alumni Club was held February 16, 1971 at the Meridian Hills Country Club. Approximately forty members and their wives attended the reception and dinner. After a short business meeting Dr. Vernon Crawford, Vice President for Academic Affairs at Georgia Tech, spoke to the club. Dr. Crawford related the many recent developments on campus, and presented a good picture of the student body on campus today.

Wvtffl

The Georgia Tech Club of Puerto Rico was chartered Friday night, February 26, 1971 at the Sheraton Hotel in San Juan. Shown above, left to right, are Mrs. Peggy Beard; Mr. Luis Acosta, '61, M. C. and Treasurer; Mr. Roane Beard, Secretary of the National Association; Mr. Joaquin Taule, '56, President of the Georgia Tech Club of Puerto Rico; Mrs. Olga Taule, Mr. Ramon Zequeira, '67, vice-president; and Mrs. Margie Zequeira. Seventy-one turned out for the occasion at which President Taule received the charter from Secretary Beard.

Hansen (continued) over, you left the mall with dignity.

These are the things that set this student body apart. . . . We have a long, proud tradition; a confidence Tech graduates hold that they are capable of excelling when all others have failed. . . . You are a Ramblin' Wreck. . . . I am proud I chose Georgia Tech. It has filled my life. I thank each for being so wonderful. I leave you with sadness in my heart but damned proud I've known you.

That was all. The applause as Dr. Hansen left was shorter, somewhat subdued.

The following day the Board of Regents announced the appointment of Dr. James Boyd, Vice-, 30

Chancellor for Academic Development for the University System, as acting president of Georgia Tech effective July 1 if a permanent replacement for Dr. Hansen has not been found by that date. Dr. Boyd was president of West Georgia College from 1961 to 1971, and is a former director of Tech's Engineering Experiment Station. Chancellor Simpson will later announce the formation of three advisory committees, one made up of students, one of faculty, and one of alumni, to aid in the search for a new president of Georgia Tech. Mr. L. L. Gellerstedt has already been selected to chair the alumni commit-

tee; recommendations may be mailed to him in care of the Georgia Tech National Alumni Association.

The alumni will be kept informed of progress, as they were during the search for a president in 1968-69.

Georgia Tech will depend upon the support and guidance of its alumni during a time of change. It's a time of tight funding, of taking new directions, of seeking new leadershipâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but Georgia Tech can't afford to ease its drive to be the best among the excellent. It's true that we've taken on the best in the field along with some tough odds, and we're fighting to win.
