H 1GH 495 By Timothy Knight With a securely fortified position on the first and second floors of Bartlett I-Iall, the Department of Electrical Engineering has deeply affected cadets, both past and present, and will undoubtedly affect those of the future as well. Whether HPA or MSE, Juice is as electrifying as a rock. However, cadets enjoy Juice be- 26 Administration cause it enables them to, write letters, catch up on homework, or simply enjoy the rack time brought about by the phrase, . . . using Nodal analysis, it is obvious that . . . Yet, for some unknown reason, a few cadets annually decide to major in this electromagnetic field. Com- monly referred to as GEEKS fcan't spell without E.E.J, they are often spotted going fishing in the bowels of Bartlett I-lall. These unsung heroes valiantly re- sist short-circuiting their never-ending capacitive and inductive current sinks. And, through it all, the Juice instructors simply smile and say, May the sum of the voltages of life force the current of knowledge to flow in your direction.

MAJ Edwards counsels two cadets on an engineering project. -f fm-mnnmnnm By Christopher T. Clark The only series of 401-402 classes that ever rivalled the Department of Law in the area of ambiguity were indeed those whose roots originated in the Depart- ment of Engineering. In an attempt to apply the various mathematical skills learned in our first three years however, the Department excelled not only in the area of successful application, but also in permanently horrifying cadets in the use of computers, the completion of design problems and finally comprehending the logic behind network programming. There were also the motivated few who suffered from a masochistic vein and pursued the civil or trains spectrum. Their weekends were filled with deci- phering the pinnacle of nebulous ambi- guity in the form of a strain matrix or designing an automotive transmission. No matter what the endeavor, the De- partment of Engineering will be best re- membered for its courage in trying to interest anxious cadets awaiting the end of class in topics ranging from mechani- cal gears to probability tree diagrams.
