Sky Diving Club The Memphis State Sky Diving Club held pre-jump ground training for new members during the week and at the club ' s week- end meetings. After the students satisfactorily completed the necessary train- ing, they were allowed to make actual static line (automatic opening) parachute jumps. From free fall jumps, the members pro- gressed to delayed falls from higher altitudes. When these jumps were mastered, the sky was the limit. 150

IEEE The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Inc. on the Memphis State campus held sev- eral tours for practical educa- tional experiences, including tours of the Thomas Allen Steam Plant, the WHBQ studios, the Federal Aviation Agency and Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville. At other meetings they showed films on electrical engi- neering and invited speakers from local industries to speak on pertinent engineering topics. During the Open House held at the Engineering Building in November, IEEE members helped set up and man the various dis- plays. The society helped to provide its members a bridge from their present studies to their future positions in industry, govern- ment or the academic world by the dissemination of knowledge of the theory and practice of all aspects of electrical engineering.
