The committee acts in an advisory capacity with respect to the Dean of Students and the Faculty Committee on Student Discipline, the chairman having a seat on the latter. The committee has two offices; a chair- man, and a secretary, elected by Institute Committee, and three other members elected by the Dormitory Committee, 5:15 Club and Inter-Fraternitv Conference, re- spectively.

Say or, Jr., General Manager Frankly, it was fun producing the 1950 Technique, even though it took many long hours of work, sessions with our engraver and printer, and much proof- reading. The 1950 Technique incorporates more pictures in it this year than in previ- ousyears; it is truly the students ' yearbook, for we endeavored to show as many stu- dents ' pictures as was possible. Joe Saylor was the general manager of the book and did the whip-cracking; how- TECHNIQUE ever, without the helpful cooperation of the rest of the staff, nothing would have been accomplished. Mark Baxter was our business manager and as such kept the creditors away from our door. It was through his efforts that we were able to acquire the beautiful secretaries that keep the rest of the staff happy. Voo Doo has beer, we have secretaries. The photography was capably handled by Dick Henderson and Chris Rust plus a staff of photographers who worked in the dark room so long that a consistent diet of carrots was needed to help them stave off night blindness. Burt Jamieson was our editor-in-chief and with the able assistance of Sam Rubin- ovitz, our associate editor, filled the book with the articles and captions. Sam did a good job on the captions, misspelling every name but his own; however, it was still a remarkable job. Burt Jamieson became ill in January Right: Darkroom meeting: John Mohr, Chris Rust, Clint Seeley and Don North Below: Bill Gorum, O Zte Kincannon, and Clint Seeley
