ffiiltl ETD GI EHEI G CUUCIL Composed of two representatives from each departmental society or or- ganization in engineering, the Benton Engineering Council is the coordinat- ing group for the Benton Engineering Society, made up of all engineering students. The council sponsors guest speakers jointly with the various engi- neering societies during the year. An annual fall smoker is held to acquaint new students with the engineering college and organizations. Big event of the year for all slide-rule boys is the Engineers' Field Day, sponsored by the council. Officers were Bill Watson, presiclentg John May, vice- presidentg Charles Sain, 'secretary- treasurer. 102 F l I ,. , is , . 4 f 4 .l 1 C . 1 BRYAN GERHEART HEAD HOLTZ IETER LEIGH McCARTHY N EILS ON OLIVE PETYNIA TONEY WEISENBERGER

A native of New Jersey, Don's fzunily moved to Miami in 1926, where he was graduated from high school in 1938. He spent three years in the Army work- ing on bomb sights and automatic pilots. I got so confused reading those technical manuals, und yet wanted to understand the material, that I de- cided to study electrical engineering in college, re- lated Don. After discharge in 1945, he enrolled at the University of Miami. After two years he transferred io Gainesville. Don is married, and hopes that he will be able lo find a job in some form of communication in Miami. Eventually, says Weeks, I would like to go into busi- ness for myself.

Ioint Student Branch of AMERICAN INSTITUTE UE ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING and INSTITUTE UE RADIO ENGINEERS X AIEE-IRE, though it sounds like an Indian mating call, is an organization of the volt-ampere boys in engi- neering school. The American Institute of Electrical En- gineers, founded in 1884, was brought to the campus in 1924 largely through the efforts of the late Dean I. R. Benton and Dean joseph Weil. There now exist 126 student branches with a membership of 14,000. The Institute of Radio Engineers was organized in 1912 and now has 30 student branches. Since the interests of the two organizations are parallel, they were merged this year into a joint student branch. The group strives to spread among its members knowl- edge of the theory and practice of all phases of elec- trical and communication engineering and of allied fields. The program consists of bi-monthly meetings which in- clude presentation of technical papers by students, films, talks by outstanding professional men and practicing en- gineers, and social functions. The Student Branch also sponsors field trips to various industries, an exchange- Speaker program with the Florida Section of AIEE, and an individual student-engineer cooperative plan. This year the group was host to a district meeting of the Florida Section of AIEE, at which Mr. S. E. Lee, national president, was guest speaker. Several members presented student papers at southeastem district meet- ings of AIEE at Baton Rouge, La., and Birmingham, Ala. An instructive and enjoyable field trip was made to a Florida power plant. OFFICERS II. Scharla-Nielsen, Chairman E. E. Erickson, Secretary R. D. Chandler, Vice-Chairman H. A.
