yy )� v ' � •• ■, V SGlOdNO NOIXVaidSNI 3H3H Its Wings J URI?{G this year just past, ive who have been here at Tech could not help but notice that our nation in the most far'reaching conflict the world has yet true, the war has been going on for us since riot until now has it been brought to our is not and cannot be what it has been. Enrollment has dropped to one half the number; professors have answered the call to do whatever the government asl(s, probably everyone has several friends in the service. It is to these brave friends then, that ive wish to dedicate this bool{; with the hope that some day not again to the things they loved so well. The Editor You now hold in your hands the 1944 Thistle. As you look through its pages you will remember pro-fessors and fellow students whom you have not thought about for a long time. There are pictures of seniors in three graduating classes which shows that the Thistle, too, must change to fit in with the expedited program. Some of these seniors had to leave Tech before they could graduate, but their pictures are here just the same. We like to think of all the people who will be reading this book. Some are students who will be in school next year wondering as they reminisce, what the next year holds in store for them. Others who are looking ahead to their work, pause to think back over their four years in college and particularly to think about their senior year. Still others will be in the service of their country when they read this book; to them it will be a link to their college life which to many seems very far away and unreal. To all these people we hope that you find in the Thistle not just pleasant thoughts of good times hut a memory of Carnegie Tech and all that it stands for. We hope that you will want to maintain that spirit of college and return Tech to its old glory and standing after looking through this edition of the Thistle and seeing how nobly and well Tech has carried on in this time of war. Some of the old organizations that were a part of Tech have disappeared for the duration, while others have risen to prominence. The war and the shortage of men students are responsible for these changes, as well as for the fact that girls have shown their ability and ambition in carrying on capably in positions formerly held by men. To those in uniform we say that we have tried to carry on here at Tech and keep it a college worthy of your fighting and one to which you will want to return. This book which you are holding contains a record of our humble efforts toward this end. OLD F A V The Arts Building o Margaret Morrison Carnegie College O R I T E S Administration Hall Book One of the 1944 Thistle comprises Administration, Departments, and Seniors. To the Administration is given the task of managing and keeping the college running smoothly. The students are usually unaware of the problems which this group faces. Howei'er, this fact adds to the laurels of the excellent organization of the Administration. It is only fitting, therefore, that we give due credit to the Administration of the Carnegie Institute of Technology. The three colleges are subdivided into Departments. These will be explained in detail in this first book• The pictures of the Seniors complete Book One. In this section there are three groups of seniors; those who graduated in December, those who graduated in April, and those who graduated in August. The expedited program resulted in the speed-up of both the junior and senior classes. Thus, the August graduates left Carnegie Tech a year early. All these welbtrained men and women are the citizens of the future. BOOK ONE 'T'HROUGHOUT the past year our President, Dr. Robert Ernest Doherty, who came to Carnegie Tech in 1936 from his post as Dean of the College of Engineering at Yale University, has held several positions of high honor in national and community activities, in addition to directing quite ably the policies of this institution through perhaps its most trying days. Dr. Doherty has been and is one of the most outstanding leaders in the life of the Pittsburgh district, and also in the several prominent nation-wide organizations in the field of engineering education. Foremost in this list of local organizations is his position as Chairman of the Citizen's Sponsoring Committee, Allegheny Conference for Postwar Community Planning. The group consists of top civic leaders and has for its purpose the creation of a sound basis on which to build the life of the community amidst the problems of the postwar world. Also important are his honors as Director of the Forbes National Bank and the Montour Railroad Company, and Chairman and Member of the Pittsburgh Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. Our President holds perhaps his most noteworthy position as President of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education. The Society has for its purpose the furthering of the highest principles in the conduct of engineering education with respect to administration, curriculum, and teaching; and the maintenance of a high professional standard among its members. Among his other positions of national importance are memberships on the Advisory Committee of the Army Specialized Training Division and the National Advisory Committee on Engineering, Science, Management, and War Training.

Fairchild, Peterson, Sher, Marcus, Lindherg. ' THE Army Civilian Activi-A ties Committee was set up in May 1943 as an emergency organs zation to carry on the duties of the former Student Council. It is composed of two representatives from Margaret Morrison, one representative from Fine Arts, an athletic representative chosen from civilian men or women, and three representatives from the Army. The duty of A. C. A. C. is to formulate policies, inaugurate and perpetuate tradition, and supervise the activities of other campus organizations. Regular Wednesday meetings at the Union are open at all times in order that any student may express his views openly to the Committee; this gives both the students and the army personnel an opportunity to participate in the government of the school. The minutes are published in full in the Tartan each week so that the army-student body may be informed of the activities of the Committee. The job of the Administrative Coordinator, Assistant Dean A. J. Murphy, Jr., is to coordinate civilian and army work and to do some of the work formerly done by the President and Treasurer of the Student Council. The general representative of A. C. A. C., A1 Sher, is also the budget chairman and election chairman. As budget chairman, he examines budgets submitted by each organization and recommends that they either be approved or rejected by the Committee. The detailed annual budget of A. C. A. C. is recommended to the Executive Board, and the Committee is responsible for the administration of expenditures under the approved budget. The Chairman of Elections conducts all elections held and appoints members of the Committee to work at the various polls in the three colleges. The editorial and advertising policies of all publications are determined by the Publications Committee. The chairman of the group recommends to A. C. A. C. the staffs of each publication. The Points and Keys chairman checks and approves lists of students who are the most worthy in their fields, and are therefore elegible for keys. COMMITTEE A. J. MURPHY Assistant Dean of Men This year, A. C. A. C., as the first army-civilian council, was confronted by new and unusual problems, just as many other organizations on campus; but it met these problems successfully under the direction of capable and hardworking committees. Each member of A. C. A. C. is the head of an important committee. Thus, Merle Wolff is Publications Representative; Dorothy Schadel, Special Committee Chairman; Charles Peterson, Athletic Representative; Private Marcus, Publications Chairman for the Army Specialized Training groups; Sergeant Talaber, General Chairman for the Army; Kay Pantazi, Fine Arts Representative; Mary Ann Rial, Social Chairman; Sally Bloom, Secretary; A1 Sher, General Representative of A. C. A. C.; and Dean Murphy, Administration Coordinator. Interest in the activities of the Council has been naturally high this year since it is its first year in existence. Long and heated discussions frequently took place, but important matters were settled to the satisfaction of both students and soldiers. Army-Civilian Activities Committee acts as a connecting link between the students, the faculty, and the Army, and it has done a great deal to bring about a better understanding between them. Fall Carnival, 1943 23 COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING has been defined as “the art and science of directing the great sources of power in nature to the use and convenience of man. The College of Engineering has been in accord with this definition in the instruction of students by a most capable faculty. The teaching policy of the school has been one based on theory and general information, for it is believed that practical application can prove more beneficial if practiced in the respective position to which the graduate may be called. This theory is, however, not confined to technical training alone, but is also applied to military education and the study of social problems. The R. O. T. C. has prepared its students to successfully undertake the enormous task facing each of them as they leave school and enter the armed forces. An extensive program which consists of drilling, marksmanship, map-reading, and the solution of tactical problems has been the foundation of which the R. O. T. C. has built its present organization. And yet there is another very important side to the education of those rugged engineers. The extra-curricular activities at Carnegie Tech offer innumerable opportunities for a student to develop his special talents. ENGINEERING Department of CHEMICAL ENGINEERING WARREN L. McCABE Head of Department of Chemical Engineering TT is the job of the Department of Chemical Engineering to provide men with technical training for the expanding chemical industries. Under the pressure of war times the enrollment in this department has greatly increased. Chemical Engineers must be able to cope with problems from all phases of science and engineering. It is for this reason that they are required to take courses in chemistry, physics, mechanics, and mathematics. With this well-rounded course as a background, these men are competent to take positions in chemical process industries. To carry on our war effort chemical engineers are expanding their efforts on research projects. They are developing new methods of chemical production. They are designing new plants and equipment for more efficient production of chemicals needed in defeating our enemies. Thus the chemical engineering profession has put itself forward to meet the crisis which has risen. McCabe, Berl, Monrad, York, Wictr. J. C. WARNER Head of Department of Chemistry Department of CHEMISTRY '“pH IS year five men will receive their B.S. degrees, and five others will receive their Ph.D. degrees from the Carnegie Tech Department of Chemistry. These men are indeed 'fortunate for they will have in' numerable opportunities to exercise their talents in any field they may choose. The demand for such men is reaching new peaks; it is obviously impossible to discover the fuels, explosives, drugs, and other sub' stances so vital to the war effort without properly educated chemists. The department has been busy this year in the inevitable war re' search. Some of the men have been working with various manufacturers on the production of butadiene and styrene to improve the final product. While these men work on the raw' materials, others are busy with special research problems proposed by the government. Steven . Griffin. Fuga j. Alexander. Stcmpel. Warner, Jone , Selt:. Walker. From these activities one can see that, although the number of students has decreased sharply, the depart' ment is far from idle. 27 Department of CIVIL ENGINEERING francis m. McCullough Head of Department of Civil Engineering 'Y'HIS year, in spite of the loss of men to the Army, the Civil Engineering Department under the head of Professor F. M. McCullough carried on the full civil engineering curriculum. Through' out the summer Professor M. O. Schmidt's sophomores could be seen scattered throughout the campus and Schenley Park eyeing the beautiful scenery with their transits, while in the depths of Engineering Hall, the juniors made mud pies with cement and concrete. In the fall the seminar program got under way; first, with a series of lectures on safety in construction work and later, a series of talks by the seniors on various phases of civil engineering. For some weeks during the fall several men in the Army Specialized Training Program attended the advanced classes on such subjects as structures and hydraulics. These men had been civil engineers in private life and were putting their experience to use for Uncle Sam. Evans. McCullough. Hamilton. Muhlcnhruch. Dunncls. Schmidt. Thonvu. 2 ¥■’4 WILLIAM R.

HPHE Electrical Engineering Depart' ment, headed by Dr. Work has a big job to do in preparing civilians and soldiers for the jobs they must do in the world today and in the post-war world. The department is made up of fifty regular students, twenty R. O. T. C. seniors, and ASTP men taking this course. The first two years the men study the circuit theory; the third year is made up of D. C. machinery, the A. C. circuit theory, and engineering analysis; and the fourth year coni' prises A. C. machinery, electronics, and the field theory. Graduates find their places in jobs requiring A. C. and D. C. machinery design and maintenance, electronics, and radar. Such jobs arc plentiful now both for civilians and men in the armed services. Men in this department who have done outstanding work make up the membership of A. 1. E. E. and Eta Kappa Nu. Carnegie has long been a leader in new curricula and in methods of instruction. The Elec' trical Engineering Department has kept up to date, and has a reputation as one of the finest in the country. Department of MECHANICAL ENGINEERING THOMAS G. ESTEP Head of Department of Mechanical Engineering 'T'HE Department of Mechanical Engineering, headed by Dr. Thomas G. Estep, is doing a splendid job training young men for positions in our wartime industries. Mechanical engineers are greatly in demand, for their course of study covers such a broad scope in the field of engineering. This department, which is one of the oldest and largest in the school, offers two options: General Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautical Engineering. The general option gives theory and practice in all the fundamental mechanical engineering subjects as well as some detailed training in a few selected fields. The aeronautical option includes several subjects which will prepare the graduate for an active part in the important field of aeronautics. In both options, excessive specials zation is avoided and fundamental training is emphasized. The courses are designed to produce a versatile engineer. Firtt Row: Humphrey . Estep, Prowell.

MEHL Head of Department of Metallurgical Engineering 'J'HIS past year the Department of Metallurgical Engineering has Je' veloped an international aspect with students enrolled from such countries as China, Brazil, and Peru. Dr. Robert Mehl, head of the depart' ment, has left Tech to teach at the University of Brazil, in conjunction with the Good Neighbor Policy. Dr. Mehl took with him moving pictures of all the departments of engineering at Tech. Department of METALLURGICAL ENGINEERING First Row Gcnsamor. Mehl, Barrett. Second Roto. Dergc, Rhine . Hawke . Alexander. Fetter . Due to world conditions, four Naval officers and an unusually large number of women have been added to the membership of the department this past year. Dr. Barrett, an outstanding mem' her of the faculty, published a book dealing with the field of metallurgy. Many seniors and graduate students attended the annual Metallurgical Convention in Chicago, where mem' bers of the Tech faculty spoke. The Metallurgists were kept quite busy this year preparing themselves for the tasks that confront them when they leave Carnegie Tech. 31 X JATHEMAT1CS, the basic science of all engineering and industrial research fields, gains added A importance with each day as modern living increases in complexity. The Department of Mathematics at Carnegie Tech, headed by Dr. Lloyd L. Dines, is one of the finest in the country. Many of its members have gained national recognition, and several have written textbooks which arc used extensively in colleges and universities throughout the country. The foupyear course in mathematics is designed to meet the needs of three classes of students. First, those who desire to enter the industrial or commercial field. Second, those who desire graduate work in mathematics, looking toward a university position or some field of advanced research. Third, those who desire to qualify as teachers of mathematics in the secondary schools. Many graduates of this department have excellent positions in the industrial and scientific world. 32 DEPARTMENT of MATHEMATICS LLOYD L. DINES Head of Department of Mathematics FREDERICK SEITZ Head of Department of Physics DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS 'T'YPICAL of the general acceleration of the held of physics has been the tremendous expansion of the department. Because of the addition of new members, both from the graduate and undergraduate sections, the physics department has risen from the smallest to the largest in the school. The boys were happy to welcome Dr. Seitz as the department head. The powerful explosions that rocked the campus were only a hint of the vast amount of research being carried on for the war. The outstanding start has attracted a large number of graduate students to help with this research program. The physicists leaving Carnegie Tech are prepared to attack problems in any branch of engineering or pure science from fundamental concepts. The present seniors started with an engineering approach to physics, but more recently have concentrated on pure science that is proving so necessary to the progress of civilization. 33 DEPARTMENT HTHAT familiar clatter of machines and rumble of presses as we enter Industries Hall can still be heard, despite the fact that this department has lost a great number of its students to the armed forces. However, through the training that these students receive, they are perhaps the most qualified men to enter into a position in industrial printing. They also have another unique distinction, for they are the only printing students in the United States who will obtain a Bachelor of Science degree. The purpose of the Printing Depart-ment is not the vocational development of skill, but rather professional training. Aside from taking courses in design, production, marketing, and management; these students are also given the principles of economics, physics, and psychology. With such a well-rounded schedule, these students are able to be of great service professionally in the graphic arts industries. GLEN V. CLEETON Head of Department of Printing PRINTING Clceton.

But the reduction in number has not meant reduction of effort. There is no decrease in activity except the natural amount arising from the fewer number of students. The building itself is absorbing. If you have ever wondered about the unique, unsymmetrical mosaics in the front hall, they are ground plans of St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome, the Parthenon, the Cathedral of Chartres, and the Temple of Edfu. The representations on the arched ceilings of men and temples of fine art are by James Monroe Hewlett. Housed in the Fine Arts College are the departments of Painting and Design, Drama, Music, Sculpture, and Architecture, all working under the direction of Dr. Keeble. Technical tests are given to all Art students before they are accepted. These consist of a week's actual work in their particular department with challenging problems presented to bring out most completely and surely their ability and perseverance. Lucky indeed are those accepted, for the opportunities presented them are limited only by their own ambitions. The College of Fine Arts remains a living and tangible example of the survival of the Arts during wartime. Jooe . Schmcru, McKinney, DunnclU. Shear. Fisher, Lightcap. Hitchens. DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE pHE Department of Architecture has suffered more severe setbacks as a result of the war than the other three departments of the Fine Arts School. Because of the nature of the work for which it trains its students, the enrollment in the past has consisted mainly of men. It is easily understood why the department is, at present, training only one-third the number of students that it did in pre-war days, the greater percentage of which are women. Four members of the faculty have left to accept commissions in the Navy. The normal curriculum, however, has remained unchanged. There are still two five-year courses, one in Building Construction, and one in Architectural Design; and there is a four-year course in Interior Decorating. Supplementing the study of basic architectural principles, the students are instructed in mathematics, English, construction theory, freehand drawing, and water color painting. Fir it Row: Kimberly.

BOTTCHER Head of the Department of Drama DEPARTMENT OF DRAMA TN spite of a loss of manpower, the Drama Department did not lower the high 1 standards nor the quality of the plays they presented this semester. The problem was solved in several ways; for example, the minor male roles in the first production of the season, “Twelfth Night, were played by low-voiced women and the second play, A. L. Kenward's “Cry Havoc, had an all-women cast. The department was fortunate in having B. Iden Payne, head of the Stratford on-Avon Memorial Theatre, return to direct the Shakespearean production, and it welcomed a new instructor, Kai Heiburg-Jergenson, young Danish playwright who replaced Douglas McLean. There was more branching out toward the new this year, with the presentation to the department of one-act plays written by members of the play-writing class, and the prospect of a Little Theatre production of a full-length Chinese drama. 39 Department of MUSIC J. VICK O’BRIEN Head of Department of Music HE Music Department located on the second floor of the Fine Arts Building, is one of Tech's important assets. It promotes school spirit through the Kiltie Band, the symphony orchestra, and the record recitals which attract large audiences to their concerts. Socially the music depart' ment contributes its share through the Scotch and Soda Orchestra. The Tech students danced away many an evening to the strains of this campus orchestra and enjoyed it. For the soldiers here, the department has become a part of their recreation. At almost any time of the day there can be found in the practice rooms a small regiment of soldiers playing and singing enthusiastically. Tech's music department has always held high recognition nationally, first of all because the first public school training system was begun here, and secondly because many outstanding pro' fessional musicians were graduates of this department.

The department offers courses leading to work as illustrators, teachers, designers, or sculptors. Common to all Painting and Design students is “judgment,” in which the students’ work is evaluated by the members of the faculty as a jury. Contrary to popular belief, the top floor of the Arts Building is not an ivory tower, for the Painting and Design students are practical idealists. In the lower depths of the Arts Building is the Sculpture department packed to capacity with inspirational pillars, statues, and half - finished plaster heads. The smell of clay permeating the air, and a gray settling dust are silent but strong evidences of the creative effort put forth in this curious classroom. 41 MARGARET MORRISON CARNEGIE COLLEGE TN 1907 Margaret Morrison Carnegie College was conv pletcd. W. Lucien Scaife, one of the original founders, wrote this inscription to serve as the maxim for the school: “To make and inspire the home; to lessen suffering and increase happiness; to aid mankind in its upward struggles; to enable and adorn life's work; however humble these are women's high prerogatives. The words were chiseled in the frieze which rests upon the pillars that form Margaret Morrison Court. As soon as a girl steps into the court she is surrounded by this inscription; when she enters the college itself, she is surrounded by the forces which aim to develop these purposes. There are the classrooms where studies prepare young women for work in the home, in the office, in the laboratory, in the hospital, in the school, and in the library. A Bachelor of Science Degree is conferred in all departments except in that of social work. This course takes five to six years to complete and offers a degree as Master of Social Work. Dances, teas, dinners, and other social functions provide ample opportunity for the girls to develop a welfrounded personality. This, then, is Maggie Murph educational, and social. 42 Department of HOUSEHOLD and COSTUME ECONOMICS VIRGINIA M. ALEXANDER Head of Department of Costume Economics ' THE Household Economics Department and the Costume Economics Department are composed of girls who are interested in becoming good homemakers, as well as those who are awaiting entrance into the business world to work as dieticians, nutritionists, designers, and buyers. The girls majoring in Household Economics learn how to plan and serve appetizing and balanced meals and how to prepare food scientifically. Their theories are put into real practice on Thursday noons when they serve luncheons for the faculty. Costume Economics girls learn how to make clothing, and also study art principles, fabric coiv struction, and interior decoration. This year another clothing clinic has been organized in which the students help saleswomen from Pittsburgh department stores lay patterns and put together new dresses. These chances for a practical application of their studies help the girls to better understand their own work. Richard . Parisi, Abbott. Topp. Wcikcrt. Alexander, (Hendon. Marshall, Steele.

WINCHESTER Head of Department of Secretarial Studies Department of SECRETARIAL STUDIES '“JT'HIS department has a great deal to offer in a variety of fields pertaining to modern secretarial work. The course combines a liberal arts education with a thorough tech' nical training in secretarial subjects, enabling girls who take the course to enter almost any field they choose, and to advance to various important positions as they become more ex perienced. Purely mechanical skills which they learn in the office practice rooms are supplemented by more advanced and varied types of work. The Secretarial Department plays its part in defense by devoting time to studies during the summer as a result of the expedited program now in effect. The girls attend school for two summers, and thus graduate nine months earlier than in peacetime. In spite of the decrease in the number of students because of the December and August graduations, the Secretarial Department is the largest in Margaret Morrison. Patterson, Cranna, Fisher. Hays, Chaman. Ely. Winchester. 45 DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL STUDIES rT'HE Department ot General Studies, with Dr. McLeod at the head, is a liberal arts department. Complete freedom of selecting subjects is offered in this department, more so than in any other. The courses are divided into two parts, secretarial minor and pre-library. The secretarial minor division offers the technique of journalism together with the mechanics of typing and shorthand. Graduates are well trained to be secretaries to writers, lecturers, or business men. The pre-library division offers a course in the understanding of various kinds of literature and in the techniques of working in libraries. Students in this department may elect courses in either of the other colleges, thus satisfying any flair they may have in such courses as mathemathics or painting. Even in the national emergency, America needs writers and librarians. These occupations are taken care of in the Department of General Studies. 46 DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL STUDIES ' pHE impact of wartime demands has greatly increased the opportunities for employment in social work. More women must be recruited to undertake the necessary preparation which will qualify them to give professional service with such organizations as the Red Cross and the U.S.O. and to those programs designed to maintain community morale. A pre'professional program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science is offered in Margaret Morrison College. This course gives a broad foundation in social sciences and biology, and includes courses introductory to those in the professional curriculum. In addition to this fouryear undergraduate course, the department offers a program of graduate professional study leading to the degree of Master of Social Work. This program has been accelerated to meet the urgent requests of the regular social agencies, the armed forces, and communities disturbed by the impact of war industry. 47 DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SCIENCE AND NURSING rT'HE Department of General Science, under the able direction of Professor Lang, prepares young women for such positions as chemical research in the field of synthetic rubber or petroleum, and work in the laboratories of chemical or explosive manufacturing plants. This course, by giving the students the fundamentals of chemistry, bacteriology, physics, and mathematics, fits them for a position immediately or provides the basis for further specialized work. In cooperation with Western Pennsylvania Hospital, the General Science Department also offers a five-year nursing course. The student spends her first two years at Margaret Morrison College and the next two as a resident at the hospital, returning to the college for her senior year. Upon completion of the course she receives a diploma from the School of Nursing of Western Pennsylvania Hospital and also the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing by the Carnegie Institute of Technology.

ALUM FED VOU and all graduates and former students of Carnegie Institute of Technology are alumni. What you are, what you do, and what you become is CARNEGIE to the world. The Alumni Federation is also your treasury for traditions, memories and history, your bureau of information to furnish news of your friends, and the “tie that binds” Carnegie and Carnegie men and women together. One of the principal functions of the Federation is keeping an accurate record of alumni and their doing. The office has files of Alumni divided alphabetically, geographically, and by classes. From these the office can help you to find and keep in touch with your classmates and friends. The notes for these files also furnish news for the alumni magazine, the “Carnegie Alumnus” which is sent free to each graduate and former student who has been thoughtful enough to keep his address up to date. The “Carnegie Alumnus” is a twenty-eight to thirty two page magazine full of articles of interest about the alumni and the school. It is issued four times each year. The last four issues carried many pages of personal items (class notes) about former students in addition to many letters, articles, and pictures. A very important part of each issue is the story of the role Carnegie men and women are playing in the war. There are service lists, letters from overseas, and items about their honors and sacrifices. 74 Each fall the Alumni Federation sponsors a Homecoming celebration where alumni, their wives, husbands, and sweethearts get together to renew Carnegie friendships and tell “tall tales of their experiences. Special effort is made to get reunion classes who have been out of school five years and multiples thereof to attend. Thus, at the 1943 Homecoming the classes of 1908, 1913, 1918, 1923, 1928, 1933, and 1938 had special tables at the Homecoming Dinner Dance. Although restricted by war it was a gala affair featured by many a happy reunion with old classmates. Naturally the Alumni Federation is interested in athletics, and an important function is the Steffen Memorial Scholarship Committee headed by Frank E. Foote, E'30, of Pittsburgh. This committee collects funds for scholarships to be given to worthy boys with athletic ability. At the present time the committee cannot award these scholarships but is investing the funds for use when peace again comes to Carnegie. All Alumni are interested in the future of Carnegie, therefore the most important activity of the Federation is the 1946 Fund Committee headed by Anthony J. Kerin, E'17, of New York. This committee is assisting the Administration to raise $4,000,000 by June 30, 1946, when the Carnegie Corporation has agreed to give the School two dollars for every one raised. The $8,000,000 from Carnegie Corporation and the $4,000,000 from the alumni and friends are vitally needed to build a greater Institute and to make the “Glory of Carnegie mean even more to the Alumni and the world. In twentyTive cities throughout the country the alumni are organized into clans that meet at intervals for friendship and mutual benefit. These clans are Carnegie in action to help you get acquainted and to renew the Carnegie Spirit. Your activity here will pay big dividends. There are no dues in the Alumni Federation. The expense is born by the Administration of Carnegie Institute of Technology in appreciation of alumni loyalty. It is managed entirely by Alumni, and for the year 194344, Harold E. Godden, F22, is President. It is your Federation. It will reflect your interest! N I E R A T I O N 75 THE well'rounded student must include activities as well as studies in his college life. Book Two is herein devoted to Honoraries, Publications, Organizations, and THISTLE Queens. The value gained from participation in activities at Carnegie Tech is immense, whether your interests lie in journalism, religion, social worl(, service to the school, or music. Every student is eligible to enter any of the groups. For excellence in their work in the organizations and publications, members arc elected to the honoraries. Thus those with common interests are bound together in the more specialized organizations, the honoraries. The publications, THISTLE, Tartan, Scottle, and the Technical offer limitless opportunities for men and women to gain training and experience in journalism. The THISTLE Queens, whom we have chosen as representatives of our campus beauty, complete Book Two. BOOK TWO INTERHONORARY COUNCIL TNTERHONORARY Council, a group of representatives A from the honorary societies at Tech, was organized in 1940. The purpose of the organization is to develop a closer feeling of comradeship among the honoraries and a stronger bond among the departments of the school. Under the leadership of John Lindbcrg, the Council opened the Carnegie Tech social season with a Victory dance at the Schenley Hotel after the Tech'Lehigh football game. This was the first time Interhonorary Council had sponsored an all'School dance; and the proceeds were used to buy silver keys for the members and to give a banquet for the new council.

Traditional Tau Beta Pi projects were carried on during the past year, the most outstanding being the issue of the Carnegie Technical, edited by the members of this organization. As stated in the Preamble to the Constitution of the Association, the purpose of Tau Beta Pi is to mark in a fitting manner those who have con' ferred honor upon their Alma Mater by distinguished scholarship and ex' emplary character as undergraduates, or by their attainments as alumni.

Its members are selected from students in the upper tenth of the graduating classes on the basis of scholastic standing and character. Members of the faculty and alumni may also be elected to membership because of outstanding qualifications. The primary objective of Phi Kappa Phi is the recognition of superior scholarship in all fields of university study and the encouragement of mental achievements. It seeks also to bind the alumni to their Alma Mater, to interest its members in a more thorough education, and to furnish an additional tie to college friendship. THETA TAU First Row Luebbe.

' pHETA Tau, a professional engineering fraternity, is con' sidered an honorary at Carnegie Tech because of the high scholastic requirements needed to join the Nu chapter. The fraternity this year increased its brothers by extending bids in July and again in November. Each year Theta Tau presents to some graduating engineer the “Most Promising Senior Engineer” award on the basis of his scholastic ability, his interest in extra-curricular activities, and his personality in general. This year at the December Commencement Exercises the placque was awarded to Robert Marvin Dodds, graduating civil engineer. First Row: Rahall, Leooe, Emerson. Kutncr, Newton, Schxhcr.

This fraternity decided the policies that all the publications on campus should follow. To get the best possible journalism on the Tech campus. Pi Delta Epsilon exchanges suggestions with many other colleges. A dinner is held each year for those students who have worked on publications. Pi Delta Epsilon also sponsors a contest each year for the best'written article published in any of the Carnegie Tech publications, and a prize is awarded to the winner. PI DELTA EPSILON PI TAU SIGMA pi Tau Sigma is a national honorary society for me' chanical engineers. The mem' bers are selected from the junior and senior classes on the basis of their scholarship, engineering ability, and personality. Carnegie Tech's Iota chapter was founded nine years ago; and this year, as in previous ones, it has served to promote interest in mechan' ical engineering. The chapter is not limited, however, to a purely technical function; it also has a social one. Several dinner meetings were held during the past two semesters. All in all Carnegie's Pi Tau Sigma group has thrived very well during this year of war. Pint Row: Darby, Edclson, Levin, Noyes, Sunseri, Greiner, Etsel, Harmany. Second Row: Phillco.

At the regular meetings held every two weeks in the Machinery Hall Club-room, technical reports were given by various members. Besides the regular meetings, special programs in the form of bowling parties and educational meetings were held in conjunction with the students of American In-stitute of Electrical Engineers. The feature event of the year was the initiation banquet held for the neophytes. Dr. Stuart Chapman was the speaker at this year's banquet. ETA KAPPA NU , pt ” • . a MORTAR BOARD r-PHE Carnegie Chapter of Mortar Board had an active program this past year. In line with the war effort, they helped Miss Russell with the Blood Donor Drive. During the Infantile Paralysis Drive the Mortar Boards contacted the faculty for donations. Jn an effort to promote a closer relationship between students and teachers, the girls held “coffees for various members of the faculty. Together with the Cwens, Mortar Board sponsored a Christmas Carnival. Seniors are chosen to be Mortar Boards on the basis of scholarship, leadership, activities, and service to the school. This is the highest honor a woman can attain at Carnegie Tech. OIGMA Alpha lota is a national musical honorary for women, founded in 1903 at Ann Arbor, Michigan. The chapter at Carnegie Tech was organized by seven students; its number has gradually increased to twenty'two. Member' ship is based on musical ability, scholarship, and character. For their spring recital they pre' sented various numbers composed by members of their own group and by contemporaries. They sponsored the annual Freshmen's Welcome Recital and the Easter chapel service, and raised a fund to purchase records for servicemen. SIGMA ALPHA IOTA Firu Row: Kareis, Rusen.

So that it will not happen next year, let it suffice in the line of advice, to say that we hope that next year's staff will take note of the things that we should have done but did not, and will beware of doing things that it enjoys but should not, like sleeping late in the morning. (Editor and Business Manager please note). We do not know how we could have gotten along without the excellent cooperation we ROBERT J RIDDELL. Jr Editor received from our photographers, the Parry Studios, from Don Young, the engraver's repre-sentative, from Dick Bingham, and from Kenny Welch. And also we do not know how we could have gotten along without our dear little radio, no push buttons this year, but its dulcet tones still enabled us to rise above the screams and babbling of that barn we call home, room 232. For that matter, we are indebted to every other publication in room 232 for the use of their typewriters, trimming boards, dictionaries, and telephones; we half-heartedly hope that thanks will be enough, but we do have a business LAWRENCE W.

This meant more work for everyone, but we finally got the articles, senior write-ups, and candid pages done, and anticipate the last senior picture soon. If you can write, type, or if you like to look at pictures of people, and can stand getting rubber cement on your fingers, there is a place for you on the Thistle staff. Let's just hope that there will still be enough students here next year to justify another edition of the Thistle, perhaps even smaller, but still a Thistle.

SAUL Editor pERHAPS this year, more than at any other previous time, the Tartan has found a great many barriers before it. Because of the tri' semester plan, there have been several different staffs instead of the one which usually lasts from fall to spring. Soldiers, with a little free time, and civilians worked side by side in order to publish each issue. Many times the staff was handicapped by a lack of workers; and the few weary souls who were there did the work unaided. Yet, the Tartan staff worked on. The first semester it was headed by Thalia Jean Harmany and the second semester by Louisa Saul. Under Negley Reed, the business manager, and Merle Wolff, the advertising manager, the Tartan finances were well taken care of. Every week, except during holiday and exam weeks, the paper came out. Most of the time it was a six page paper often eight pages long. It contained the news about town, talk about campus, sports, and features.

During the year the paper was circulated to soldiers and the civilian population under the new program set up by the Army' Civilian Activities Committee. Also for the first time, many freshmen were elected members of the Editorial Baird which directed the staff and the publication of the paper. Truly, it can be said that the students with the endless coopera' tion of Max Hannum, who heads the News Bureau, put out faithfully, each week, a paper of which all “Techites” can be very proud.

J. HEN a Tech engineer, artist, or “Maggie Murph” wants to laugh, or to catch up on campus gossip, he immediately turns to the Scottie, Carnegie Tech's humor magazine. The Scottie never misses a jump, so to speak. The “Fleas” reveal the latest gossip; the interviews give intimate details in the private lives of students, celebri' ties, and even professors. There are plenty of photographs of campus activities, football games, pep rallies, and dances. But probably the Scottie's most popular feature is its jokes. Some are original, while some are borrowed from other college magazines through the exchange system. In this way, the Scottie keeps Tech laughing. War has changed many things, and even a humor magazine feels its effects. Last semester, for the first time, it was edited by a girl, who did a superb job in making the Scottie interesting not only to the civilians, but to the Army Specialized Trainees as well. And soldiers have also taken an active part in writing and managing the magazine. Almost every Friday afternoon, one can find boys in khaki working along with the rest of the staff in the Publications Office; all of them are equally anxious about the next issue and all of them doing their best to make it a good one. Many copies of the Scottie are sent to former Tech boys who are serving in the armed forces. Just as Carnegie Tech has kept up its spirit despite the war, so also have the students kept up the Scottie. 88 First Row Kettler, Noyes, Fyer, Lerman, Sehachcr. Brewer. Darby. Second Row: Reed, Jordan, Jones. Naylor. Polyiou. THE TECHNICAL J ECENTLY, the Technical staff has changed its policy in order that the publication can cover a wider range of subject matter. As a regular feature a column of student opinions on general school topics and activities has been added, humorous cartoons are frequently published, reviews of non' technical books are presented, and occasionally the feature articles are written on nontechnical subjects. As one may gather, formerly the articles were on strictly scientific themes so that the magazine held little interest for other than engineering students or those of a more scientific turn of mind, but now the magazine has something of interest to every reader. Younger than either the Scottie or the Tartan, the Technical was first published seven years ago as the brain'child of Professor Lawler. However, it is supervised now by a board of faculty advisers who place few restrictions, except the obvious one of expense, upon the publication. Therefore, the student staff has almost complete charge of the publishing of the magazine and is responsible only to the advisors and Carnegie Tech. This year there have been many difficulties in the regular publication of the magazine due to priorities and the war, but the work is being done. Although they have been mailed late in some cases, the usual number of issues has come out and will continue to do so. Any suggestions as to the content and pub' lication will be welcomed by the staff, as the Technical is for its readers enjoyment. The present staff is headed by Leo Fyer, as the Editor in Chief, and Bob Noyes, as the Managing Editor. 89 KILTIE BAND A LTHOUGH the war has brought about many changes on the Carnegie Tech campus, it could not take our k Kiltie Band away from us. The band has broken traditions as a result of the war, but still exists and has performed with flying colors. It is now composed of civilian men, soldiers, and women. The personnel decreased to almost one-half of its former size; but the band still puts forth a show full of color, originality, and fine music. This year the band celebrates its thirty-fourth birthday. It was founded in 1910 when Carnegie Tech consisted of three buildings. Mr. E. F. Sullivan, who was the first director, served in this capacity until his death in 1938. Sully” was loved by all who knew him and will always be remembered for his splendid leadership. In his honor, the well-known Sully Clan was organized. The Clan, which is composed of the ten most outstanding men from each year's band, taps its members on Call Day. In 1938 J. Vick O'Brien became the new director of the hind and held this position until the fall of 1941. Mr. James Morrow, of the music department, relieved him of his duties at that time and directs the hand today. The traditional Kiltie skirts and shawls were imported directly from Scotland; their plaid represents the Gamer-on-Enacht Clan. The bagpipes afford another unusual and famous note to the band. To its many regular activities, the band added the playing and marching at several of the Army reviews. When the Army Specialized Training Battalion was reviewed by their new commandant, Colonel Pirkey, the band supplied the martial music and went through some formations. The Kiltie Band played and marched at our two home foothill games. In spite of the rain and cold at the Tech-Lehigh engagement, the band remained until the final gun was sounded. They also added much color to the Pitt game. This was the first year that the Kiltie Band has not accompanied the football team on some of its out-of-town games. Nevertheless, all Pittsburgh fans were able to enjoy the music and marching. The band did a great job at our pep rallies by helping to keep alive the fight for the glory spirit which could so easily die during war time. The students in the band deserve a big hand for the splendid work they did this year. Many long hours of practice were necessary to achieve the perfection of performance. We, Tech students, do not have to worry; for no matter what the hardships may be, The Kilties will always be coming.'' Pightin' Bob Slcur Higher!

They spent many hours in prepara' tion for the concerts they gave at various schools and churches around Pittsburgh. This year, because of the December and April graduations, the Glee Club had two home concerts one shortly after Thanksgiving and the other in the Spring. At these concerts, they combined with the Men's Glee Club to give the best performances of the year. Both Margaret Morrison and Art School students sing in the Glee Club. rT 'HE Men's Glee Club was the first student activity in which the ASTP students participated to the same extent as the civilian students. After their arrival, the trainees were invited to try out at the rehearsal. A great many accepted this invitation and as a result, almost half the membership is from the army enrollment. This year the Glee Club has a new and very capable director in Paul Brautigam, a Tech music graduate of '31. The student director is Ted Bellan. Under these leaders, the Glee Club will continue as an example of complete cooperation and fellowship between the civilian and army students at Tech. MEN’S GLEE CLUB Fait Row Christopher. Dixon.

CHAPEL CHOIR rT'HE Chapel Choir was organized for the purpose of lending a more spiritual air to chapel services, with the singing of lovely hymns and other sacred choral numbers. The choir is a mixed group composed of sixteen members and is ably conducted by Jacquelyn Rusen. Their music is accompanied by the organ under the nimble lingers of Ruth Moore. Although the singers are usually music students, any person who has some singing ability is eligible to join the group. Several times a year they are invited to different churches throughout the city at which time they offer a varied program of beautiful religious music. First Roit' Barnhart, Brickcr, Simpson. Hay.

The organization is composed of students who hold operators' licenses, and others who are interested in radio, attend the club's meetings, and work on the projects. The group recently completely revised its transmitter so that it could be controlled from a central operating table. Laboring under the handicap of wartime restrictions, the club can do little but prepare the way for projects to be completed after the war. These projects include a new ultra high-frequency transmitter and a communication system for the school. WOMEN’S CTARTING the season off with a play-day for freshmen, the Women's Athletic Association has gone into bigger and better things this year. All girls are automatically members of the W. A. A., and are cordially invited to take part in all of its activities. At a dinner held early in the season, those girls who had accumulated their quota of W. A. A. hours received numerals. It is the aim of this organisation to supply extracurricular athletic interests for the girls at Carnegie Tech and to help organise such sports as tennis, swimming, basketball, badminton, hockey, dancing, fencing, bowling, and volleyball. ALPHA PHI OMEGA y LPHA Phi Omega is a service fraternity which draws its members from the ranks of those who have been Boy Scouts of America. This fraternity has no restrictions concerning one's race, creed, or color. The Kappa chapter here at Carnegie Tech is one of the most active in the country. The faculty advisor for Kappa chapter is Dr. R. D. Gregg, and the scouting advisor is Mr. Kent Shaffer. These two men have stood by the fraternity and guided it through difficult times. The motto of Alpha Phi Omega is Do a good turn daily. Every member of the fraternity has practiced and will continue to uphold this pledge. First Row Hay, Gumming . Branagan. Sunjeri.

FRESHMAN ORIENTATION COMMITTEE ' PHE Women's Guild is a representative body composed of members from all women's organizations on the campus. By holding two tag days a year, the Guild obtains money for scholarships that are given to outstanding women students. The higlvspot of the year is the annual dance held to raise money for the Guild scholarships. The activities of the Guild are planned and managed by the president and other officers who are elected in the spring. They remain on the Guild the following year. More and more the Guild is gaining cooperation from other campus organizations and is prominent as one of our most valuable organizations. 95 WOMEN’S GUILD Fir.t Ron Worth. Wolff. J.. Gross. Wolff.

A Y.M.C.A.-C.W.C.A. retreat was held in June at Ridge View Park and various other joint affairs such as picnics, carol singing, dinner meeting, and other activities followed. Freshman meetings were held throughout the year and in December, 25 new members were elected to the Cabinet. The Y Cabinet started a new tradition with the weekly school sings for the students and trainees. This was in addition to the regular chapels the Y-Cabinet sponsored. MEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION ARNEGIE Women's Christian Association is an organisation that is open to every girl on campus. One of the most appreciated acts of the C. W C. A. is the welcome given to the incoming Freshman girls. Juniors and Seniors, acting as Big Sisters, help the Freshmen through registration and try to acquaint them with campus life. Later in the semester a Big and Little Sister Tea is held in the Union. The officers of C. W. C. A. have done much to better the organization; monthly dinner meetings at the Union, social work at the Kingsley House, and sponsoring Junior Prom and Chapel programs were some of the activities completed this year.

MODERN DANCE CLUB ' pHE Women's Dormitory Council, the governing body of the women dormitory students of Carnegie Tech, has maintained a high standard of conduct among the dormitory girls with the aid of Dean Yon. The Council is made up of the presidents and vice' presidents of each dormitory. The officers are: Marion McMahon, president; Geraldine Diamond, vice-president; and Catherine Lowry, secretary-treasurer. The Council meets every Wednesday night. A great responsibility rests upon the Council members to see that wise decisions are made, and carried out. The social committee sponsored teas and card parties for the dormitory women. JpOUNDED over eight years ago under the leadership of Miss Dorothy Kanrich, women's physical education instructor. Modern Dance Club has steadily grown, until today it includes thirteen members and their president Eileen Hilf. Besides faithfully practicing their own techniques each Monday night, the members of the organization attend all professional ballets and dance performances. Since it is a closed club, admitting only those girls who have had previous work in dance, the group comprises some skillful and outstanding dance students. Currently holding top honors are Eileen Hilf and Valerie Senko, who have studied dancing since they were small children. First Row Hilf, Aronson. Mulhallan.

The objective of the club is to have a lot of fun, so parties, dances, and hikes are held at frequent intervals. The clan is very active in intramural sports. A case full of trophies, including two All Points Trophies proves that their teams are good. The clan publishes “The Commuter” and the Alumni Service Paper. This last publication has been sent all over the world in order to reach the many former members now in the service. 98 ABOUT THE CAMPUS 99 , J or Rob,� l, , you prefer.

THE COURT Lois Frishl{orn Pegg)’ Cole Jean Wein auf ong ★ ★★★★★★★★ A THLETICS, Intramural Sports, Reserve Officers Training Corps, and the Army Specialized Training Corps maty up the third book of this THISTLE for 1944. While intercollegiate contests were on somewhat a smaller scale than in previous years, intra' mural sports increased in importance due to the addition of the Army Specialized Training Corps, since they were allowed to compete with civilian teams in mushball and bowling. Therefore, there was no decrease in the interest shown to sports. The decrease in the enrollment of civilians has shown its effects in the number of R. O. T. C. boys, but this deficit was made up by the ASTP men who were salt to Carnegie Tech. Life has changed here on Tech's campus, but everyone still finds plenty to do to maty life as aijoyable as possible. INTRA MURAL ASTP B O O K THREE f'trit Row Salvagpo. Gizdi. Korfonu, Smith.

FOOT ' THIS was not a Harpster or a Yoder year at Carnegie, hut Coach Steffen would have been proud of the spirit the hoys showed, and the fight they put up in spite of the great odds against them. We came very close to not having a team at all, but the gratifying student and player demands caused Director Overend to round out the plans for a coaching staff and a schedule. Our first game was with the University of Rochester, and the hoys were very enthusiastic. The final score was Rochester 16, Tech 0, which was about one third of the points they were supposed to score against us. On October 9 we journeyed to Cleveland to play Case School of Applied Science, another team strongly supported by Navy. Our ranks were seriously weakened by losses from injuries, and the game ended 36-16. The next game with Lehigh, played on a cold wet day, ended in a 0-0 tie. After losing the following to West Virginia, we came to the climax of our season—the game with Pitt. Even though our ground attack was as good as Pitt's, long passes accounted for the first three Pitt touchdowns and we lost 45-6. All the players are glad we had a team at Tech this year. We are grateful to the men of' the Army Specialized Training Program who practiced with the team and helped prepare them for the games. The lettermen were Baklarz, Breier, Crump, Dunn, Ghizzoni, Hurst, Mclsrofii Roarin' Baklar: BALL Lindberg, Litton, McIntosh, Mikus, Robbins, Salvaggio, Shapiro, Steele, Stewart, Vockel, Wah' renburg, and Yaru. The numeral men were Duff, Goode, King, McAninch, and Wilson. Reid Byers played most of the Pitt game but was unable to play in any of the former games. Hopes for a team next year are a little dark, since Coach Skladeny is in the Navy, Coach Irwin is still working in a defense plant, and Walt Burns is a busy merchant here in the city. If it is at all possible though. Tech will have a team, because the players and students want one. They want to keep the old Tech spirit alive so that when our boys come back they will find the Tartan colors still flying. bv� ri Litton Vockel Wahrenburg Giiiiioni Night Game Fourth Down With a Prayer Suspense Things is Lookin' Dark OUR TEAM IN ACTION SWIMMING TEAM First Row: Bingham, Gtbun, Eyman, Berkowits, Lewi .

SWIMMING AND RIFLE HTHE swimming team this year began practice A with Eyman, Berkowitz, Lewis, Gibian, and Reed the only remaining members of last year's team. The swimmers were also at a disadvantage since teams such as Oberlin and Case, against which they competed, had the advantage of Navy personnel. With these odds against them, the members of the team practiced willingly and diligently to put a well-balanced team in the competition. Captain Ralph Eyman was Coach Risedorph's outstanding swimmer. The swimming team gave a good showing for Tech in the war-shortened schedule and kept up the spirit of competitive sports. A LTHOUGH all sports have felt the impact of the shortage of participants, the Rifle Team has been hit the hardest as shown by the reduced freshman-varsity team of twelve students in contrast to the twenty men on the previous squad. These marksmen were arranged into two groups five men from last year's team and seven freshmen. The five experienced lead the team in scoring ability, although their favored positions were threatened by the excellent shooting of several of the freshmen. The matches began in February with the team shooting at meets and through postal matches. Letters were awarded to the worthy members for their participation. Ill BASKETBALL, A victory over Case proved to be the only success for a small, inexperienced Tech basketball squad during the 4344 campaign. The Tartans played sixteen games throughout the season and were hampered by loss of men to the armed forces and by graduation. Hugh Smith, Joe Kelly, A1 Nelesen, Jack Sherman, and Howard Levy were the mem-bers of Coach Hannum's first team in the opening contest. However Smith, Nelesen, and Levy were lost shortly after the season got underway and were ably replaced by Chuck Duffett, John Shott, and Bud Hath' away. One of the highlights of the year was the surprisingly good battle the Skibos played against Penn State. The Tech quintet dropped the tilt by the close count of 34'32 to the rangy and highly favored Lions. The Tartans' sole victory over Case, was an impressive contest. Tech held the lead throughout the game and triumphed by a margin of 4442. Joe Kelly, who led the combine in scoring, found the range at Westminster and hit the hoop for 30 points. Jack Sherman, Bud Hathaway, and Charles Duffett played coiv sistent, aggressive ball throughout the year. The only six-foot man on the squad, John Shott, battled against the tall opposition as best he could for rebounds. 112 TN spite of an unsuccessful season for the A track and tennis teams, the members of both teams should be congratulated upon their superb efforts to keep these sports going during the war. Both teams lost great numbers of letter-men to Uncle Sam. The contests in both sports took place after graduation; this necessitated the use of inexperienced athletes to substitute for the seniors. After a pre-season meet with Westing-house High School, the Carnegie track team opened their season by losing to Geneva, and were later defeated by Pitt. The season closed by playing Oberlin, who emerged victorious. Sprinters Jack Sherwood and Hugh Smith, who served as co-captains, were the only major letter winners. Numerals were awarded to Bell, Breir, Davis, Sagin, and Kuentz. From the standpoint of victories, the Carnegie tennis team was no more successful than the track team. The players lost matches to Pitt, Oberlin, Penn State; and were tied with Pitt 2-2, when the last game of the season was called because of rain. Leading the team in their gallant stands throughout the season was captain Frank Showman. Other major letter winners were Nelesen, Hugus, Pollock, and Edgewood. Numerals were won by Munsell, Griffin, and Turner. TRACK AND TENNIS First Roue Festenstem, Shott. Kelly, Sherman. Hathaway, Levy, H., Shcrb. Seeond Row. Levy, Mgr., Lcmbertky, Friedman.

ITH intercollegiate sports de-emphasized because of war conditions, Carnegie civilian and Army students find outlets for their athletic energies in the many sports offered by the intramural program. Under the direction of the Intramural Board, fraternity, independent, and Army teams competed in softball, touch football, bowling, volleyball, and basketball. In addition to these team sports, the board sponsored all-school tournaments in ping-pong and tennis. The board made up of both civilians and soldiers, was headed first by John Lindberg and later by Charles Peterson. Dean Murphy serves as faculty advisor. Intramural athletics began last summer with twenty-one teams competing in softball. They were divided into three leagues, with championship contests being played at the end of each half of the season, which lasted from May until August. The league 1 contest was won by Platoon 2 of Company B in the second half of the season. In league 2 the soldiers of Platoon 1 of Company A were the victors. League 3 was completely dominated by Citcom Clan, the commuters leading their league all season. Civilian and Army teams had different leagues in football, the Army playing eleven-man and the civilians six-man teams. All eleven civilian teams played in one league and the Kappa Sigs won the thrilling race. All the Army teams were from Company B, each section sponsoring a team; nine teams competed. This race was also very close with three teams, Platoon 2, Section 1; Platoon 1, Section 2; and Platoon 3, Section 1; being tied for first place. Platoon 2, Section 1 was awarded the title on a basis of total points. At the end of the season an all-star civilian team was selected to play Platoon 2, Section 1 in a post-season game. The Army was the victor in this contest. 114 Private Gingold Keeps Quiet SAP's Draft'hait Leggo! Ready When You Are 115 Chorus Boy Gee He hit it! Stree-nkc RESERVE OFFICERS TRAININ major boberg 'pHE first and most outstanding change in college army activity has been the elimination of the advanced course of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps. The next change was the elimination of branch instruction; that is, there is no longer an official Engineer and Signal Corps unit on the campus. The program is still called R.O.T.C. but the instruction self is now called Branch Immaterial instruc-tion. With a desire to further the good work, our staff here at Tech has continued with an unofficial advanced course, and with the official basic course. Since we are on the expedited program and had no senior class in the R.O.T.C. for eight months, it has been un-desirable to select permanent cadet officers as was previously done; therefore, all upper-classmen in the advanced program are rotated through the different positions of Battalion Commander, Executive Officer,’ Adjutant, Company Commander, and Platoon Leader. Also, a visible decrease in the number of basic course students left fewer facilities for cadet officers when the unit was cut from a regiment of several battalions to only one battalion. A word is in order about our reduced departmental staff'. Our Professor of Military Science and Tactics is also the Commandant of the ASTP and is a real West Pointer. He is Col. Frank 2. Pirkey, C.E., who has made quite a hit with civilian and military personnel. This man not only looks “Army but is commanding this post with the typical efficiency of a West Point graduate. We must not forget our 110 former advanced R.O.T.C. men who were sent back to Tech by the Army to complete their course before going to O.C.S. They had quite an interesting time going through basic training together and were glad to come back to Tech. All in all, those of us who have participated in the R.O.T.C. have never been sorry. The department of Military Science and Tactics deserves much credit for the fine instructive work which they provide. 116 117 rT'HE Army Specialized Training Program was inaugurated on Carnegie Tech Campus on May 9, 1943, when 440 trainees arrived to commence their training. This unit is one of over two hundred maintained in colleges and universities all over the country. The number of men attending these schools amounts to over a hundred thousand, although Carnegie Tech has only about 1200. ARMY In less than a week, the first contingent was put through registration, and sent to class. At that time, only one additional officer, 2nd Lt. Charles A. Seidle, A. G. D.; and no enlisted men had been attached to the R. O. T. C. staff. This meant that the R. O. T. C. personnel were forced to double-up on their duties in order to keep both programs in good running order. Since that time the ASTP has expanded here at Tech to a maximum with the addition of a .dozen new officers and 25 enlisted men. The Army Specialized Training Division was established December 18, 1942, under the supervision of Lt. General Brehon B. Somervell, Commanding General, Army Service Forces. General George C. Marshall, Chief of Staff, United States Army, explained the objective of the program in these words: ‘The Army has been increasingly handicapped by a shortage of men possessing desirable combinations of intelligence, aptitude, education, and training in such fields as medicine, engineering, languages, science, mathematics, and psychology, who are qualified for service as officers of the Army. With the establishment of the minimum Selective Service age of 18, the Army was compelled to assure itself that there would be no interruption in the flow of professionally and technically trained men who have hitherto been provided in regular increments by American colleges and universities. A man who has been trained to think and act quickly and accurately, will be able to apply his knowledge to daily combat problems and thereby be more valuable to the Army. And of course, the work that these men are taking at Tech will be applicable for credit on their college transcripts when they come back to civilian life. Basic college work is not a requirement for entrance into the program. Soldiers with the first year advanced R. O. T. C. training, high school graduates between 17 and 18 who have passed the A'12 test, and men holding letters of appointment to West Point, as well as those who are selected from the Army or the A. G. C. T. results are eligible for training in this program. The A. S. T. Field Selection Board also determines the specific course of study in the highest term for which each candidate is qualified. The term is 12 weeks long with one week between terms. The number of terms varies with the curriculum. Responsibility for the operation of the ASTP unit at Tech is divided between Colonel Frank Z. Pirkey, Commandant, and President Robert E. Doherty. Military administration, military training, and responsibility for physical training of the trainees is under the Colonel's charge, while President Doherty maintains responsibility for all instruction, messing, and PROGRAM 119 120 ULD THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD housing of the soldiers. Colonel Pirkey is assisted by Captain W. K. Shaffer as executive officer. Captains B. B. Smith and J. A. Lesh as battalion commanders; Captains Pickrel and Thomas, Lieutenants Seidle, Courtney, and Dyer as members of the staff; Captains Cooper and McQueen and Lieutenants Glover, Hacker, Bumstead, and Lister as company commanders. The five classifications of soldiers now at Tech are: Basic Engineering, Advanced Engineering, Foreign Area and Language, first year advanced R. O. T. C., and AST Reservists. The ASTP educational program is practically the same as the civilian engineering program. The big difference between the civilian students and the trainees is the regimentation which the soldiers undergo. The load of the average trainee is about 59 hours of supervised activity per week. At Carnegie Tech the ASTP trainees are housed in the men's dormitories, the Pi Kappa Alpha, Phi Kappa, and Alpha Tau Omega fraternity houses, and military barracks in Thistle Hall, Industries Hall, Margaret Morrison College, and 5141 Margaret Morrison Street. Each barracks has its own club room where the men read, relax, play ping-pong or pool, and drink cokes. Among the many changes wrought by the Army besides the conversion of shops to barracks are the reestablishing of the Commons Building as an Army Mess Hall, the transformation of the Hut into a canteen and the remodelling of Skibo Inn into a barber shop. Some companies have orchestras, others have football and basketball teams, and one even publishes its own newspaper. Army men are on A. C. A. C., the student governing body, the Tartan newspaper, and various other publications, in other words, the student body has just assimilated these men into their midst. The first of this year the military department changed the method of appointing cadet officers. Heretofore the commands were rotated much the same as had been done in the R. O. T. C. program. However, beginning this year, the officers were permanently appointed. Selection was based on leadership ability, general aptitude, and previous experience. Arm bands bearing the insignia of rank are worn by all cadet leaders, commissioned and non-com' missioned. The cadet “non-coms wear the regulation strips corresponding to their rank. Among the 1200 trainees here at Tech, there are many outstanding men. There are semi-professional and professional athletes, musicians, artists, actors and in the Language and Area group, a man who served in Hitler's Army, a man who was an officer candidate in the Spanish Republican Army, and men who sang La Marsellaise in the French Foreign Legion. After talking with these men, after watching them work in the laboratories and classrooms, and after relaxing with them in the canteen, the decreasing, but still lively, student body feels that the moving-in of the Army has done more good for the student, faculty, and general welfare of Girnegie Tech than anything which could have happened. We have these men to thank for the continuance of our institution as an outstanding engineering and liberal arts college in the country. 121 t T) -L-'OOK Four is devoted to the fraternities and sororities on campus. There are pictures of each group's actives, pledges, and officers. There are also articles describing the group and telling about their activities of the year. But best of all there are candid pages that we (now, if you are at all Iffie most people we (now, you will spend hours looking over trying to figure out where the pictures were ta (en and just where you are in them. We hope that these hours of reminiscing will be happy ones ones when you will remember the happier side of college life. They will remind you of all those parties, tea dances, and breakfasts at the fraternity houses; they will remind you of the many friends you haven't seen for some time now; and they will remind you of everything that your fraternity or sorority meant to you. This year was tiotable becaustf three of the sororities had gone national by the tune the boo ( went to press, and others may be national by the time it is out. We wish them all success in this new important venture. While sororities have gained in importance, fraternities have been faced with the difficulty of continuing with fewer men. All the fraternities have felt this, and some have even had to give up their houses. But we will let you read more about that on the pages that follow. ★ ★★★★★★★ BOOK FOUR INTERSORORITY AND INTERFRATERNITY COUNCILS First Row: Marraccini, Sunvjri. Fullerton. Baer, Borgnun.

TNTERSORORITY Council is made up of a junior and senior representa-tive from each sorority. Council's duties are to enforce the rules governing sorority activities. Intersorority Council sponsored its share of social events during the year by opening the rushing seasons of both Margaret Morrison and Fine Arts with a non-rush tea. Intersorority Formal proved a success, and the profits were contributed to the Sorority Scholarship Fund from which a scholarship is awarded each year to the sorority girl best qualified in activities and scholarship. This year, some sororities joined national fraternities, making necessary a new set of rules to be formulated by Council. The new recommendations have been approved by the President and the Executive Board, but will not become effective until the fall of 1944. 124 Snowbirds Fran and RoJg TrvGam thrushes Alpha Kap canaries So we'll drink one more Waitin' at the gate Square dancers Alpha neophytes Beta book-juggler In Delta Hall rT'HE purpose of Carnegie Tech's Interfraternity Council this year A has been to try to keep the fraternities together in war time. Interfraternity Council has been doing a lot to help the war effort. They have organized a scheme of donating blood to the American Red Cross. Every month each fraternity is responsible for a certain number of pints of blood. Besides this, the Council has put a part of the profit they made on their dance into war bonds which are in their treasury. The social season was climaxed by Interfraternity Ball which was held at the Schenley Hotel. Despite the war, it was well attended by both civilian fraternity men and those in the armed forces who happened to be in Pittsburgh. The Council wants people to realize that college men are doing their best to hasten victory. 125 OFFICERS Friedman. M. I...............Chancellor Linett, J...............Vice-Chancellor Shutter, L.

Because of the shortage of dormitory facilities, the boys willingly gave up their beloved house on Forbes Street, across from the Union, and are now sharing quarters with the Pi Lamda Phi fraternity from Pitt. The fellows started the season with fifteen pledges in May, six of whom are now in the armed services. With only five actives at this time, the fraternity had quite a struggle to stay on its feet. During the summer the fraternity grew to ten actives and eleven pledges. Believing, however, that extra-curricular activities are important regardless of world conditions, Beta Sigma Rho fielded intramural teams in softball and football; and its members are active on the Tartan, Thistle, Scottie, and Technical, as well as Theta Tau, Kiltie Band, Men's Glee Club, the football and basketball teams. Socially the Beta Sigs are just as active as they were in their own house. Beside their bi-monthly dances, they highlighted the early part of the social year with a Navy Dance for members leaving for that service, a pledge dance, a tea for freshmen women fat which Tech upperclass girls were hostesses), and a candlelight Halloween Dance. Yes, despite the war, the boys have had fun this year. First Row: Corwin, Schacher. Nurcnberg. Fycr. Cooper. First Row: Gottlieb. Slone. Goldstein. Kettler, Btmbaum. Abelsoo.

What this article should do is tell about what the Betas did this “year of years; it should serve as a pleasant reminder of the many highlights of the months now past. Who will forget the pledge party the musical comedy on a makeshift stage of dining room benches,—the murals on the walls and it was a week before the remains were cleared away. Then, there was the inv promptu concert at the Interfraternity ball, serenades at P.C.W., the Tech Dorms, and in addition, those for the most recent additions to the ever growing group of Beta Sweet' hearts. And the pledges, their original twelve whittled to seven, will not forget the many hours of work and the seeming lack on the part of the active chapter of appreciation for the results. But above all they will remember their initiation week-end, brought to a fitting close with the alumni banquet at the Duquesne Club. Possibly the biggest surprise of the year for the Betas was their winning the Interfraternity Scholarship Cup. In the thrush department, the 1943 Sing and Swing was taken over, as of old, by twelve goldeivvoiced Beta canaries; and in the fish department, the Beta trout came through to win the swimming trophy for the third time, so now it's theirs to keep. Yes, it was a tough year, but it was fun and nobody will need to remind us of that. OFFICERS Wallace, E. K....................President Riddell, R. J...............Vice-President Palmer, H.

Recording Secret, ry IT seems that the Delta Beta Chapter of Delta Tau Delta was little troubled by the general gloom which settled over the Tech campus last May. The Delts proved that they could keep going whatever the conditions by pledging eighteen entering freshmen. Younger than the average freshman group, the new pledge class quickly got into the swing of things both socially and academically, and in June sponsored a highly successful Fledge Dance. All too frequently throughout the past year the Delts bade farewell to brothers entering the armed forces, but the house at 5020 Morewood Place remained full of “jolly good fellows, and another successful rushing season followed in early August. Social events still come often at the Shelter: tea dances for campus sororities take place regularly, and the friendly stag parties are followed by bigger and better house dances. Intramural sports, as well as other campus activities, form an important part of the Delts' life. The Purple and Gold teams gained recognition in every sport and turned out fine bowling and basketball records. Delts were prominent as members of the Y.M.C.A., holding its presidency for the past two semesters. Nick Reed, general business manager of publications, Merle Wolff, Sam Duff, and Jerry O'Brien worked long and hard on publications. The Delts are also well represented in the honoraries and A.C.A.C.

Although a number of the fraternities lost their houses, Delta Upsilon was very fortunate in being able to maintain theirs and thus keep a welforganized fraternity. Because of the expedited educational program, the brothers of blue and gold initiated three large pledge classes. They enjoyed numerous informal social affairs. Highlighting the social program were several buffet dinners, informal house dances, a barn dance, and a scavenger hunt. The D U mascot, Eric Von Ellsman, continues to promote friendly feeling by patronizing neighboring fraternity kitchens. The ISO pound Dane is a familiar figure to everyone on the campus. D U was well represented in school honoraries including: Tau Beta Pi, Eta Kappa Nu, Pi Tau Sigma, Theta Tau, and Alpha Pi Omega. Individual members of Delta Upsilon held eminent positions on campus publications. In intercollegiate athletics, our men were represented on all teams. The house was also very active in intramural sports. By winning in the intramural basketball league, the large rotating cup became a permanent fixture on the D U mantel. Thus, it is evident that the brothers of Delta Upsilon have proven themselves worthy of their slogan: A D. U. in everything and every D. U. in something. OFFICERS Elier, J. W... WoLEE, W. V.

The brothers upheld all the traditions of the Kappa Sigma fraternity, fostering fellowship and good-will in the brotherhood and on campus. Kappa Sigma men again were prominent in extra-curricular and social activities. Five members of the fraternity played on the Tech football team last fall and two played varsity basketball. Kappa Sigma was also represented on the various campus publications, the Men's Glee Club, Interfraternity Council, Tau Beta Pi, the Y-Cabinet, and Student Army-Civilian Activities Council. The fraternity sponsored teams in all intra-mural sports, the Kappa Sigma entry winning first place honors in the intra-mural football league. The Greek Sing and Swing cup was again captured by the fraternity singing team. The social season was a success. Besides the numerous informal fraternity parties held during the year, breakfasts were served at the House after important social affairs. The House was gaily decorated for the annual Christmas party, “Santa Claus” distributed gifts to all the guests, and a good time was had by all. Although their ranks have been depleted by Uncle Sam, the brothers are keeping up the spirit of the fraternity, and are looking forward with every confidence that the coming year will be as successful as the past years.

Its aim, in addition to the establishment of a feeling of fellowship among its members, is the creation of a spirit of friendship and understanding among all men. The activities of Phi Kappa, like those of most other fraternities, were hampered to some extent by the unparalleled wartime conditions and restrictions. Following the spring semester, two'thirds of its members entered several branches of the armed forces. At the same time their house was taken and put into service to help solve the quartering problem for the members of the Army Specialized Training Program. Nevertheless, the chapter has continued to maintain its identity as a fraternity on the Tech Campus; and, as in the past, the Phi Kaps have taken a leading part in intramural sports and other campus activities. The outstanding social event of the school year was the annual Interfraternity Ball, held at the Schenley Hotel, at which Phi Kappa was well represented. In the intramural sports department, the Phi Kap'Kappa Sigma combination took part in many a hard'fought and thrilling game. The Rho Chapter is firmly resolved to keep alive the spirit of Phi Kappa until conditions approximating the normal finally return, and the fraternity can continue to make the progress it has made in the past.

This distinction has been gained by continual expansion since its founding in the South in 1856, and its total of one hundred fourteen chapters now places it at the head of the list. The year has seen a fluctuation of membership. Due to the draft and enlistments, only a portion of the pledge classes could be initiated. This also affected the active chapter, but the incoming initiates successfully filled the gaps in our ranks. The summer term found social activity on the campus a distinct nonentity, and the entire matter of such activity was left to the fraternities. Our group carried on with unusual success. One of the interesting parts of this program consisted of interviewing some of our notable alumni in Pittsburgh. These included orchestra leader Tommie Tucker and actor Dick Powell. A strange coincidence added some life to the rather disas' terous football game with Pitt last fall. The meeting of the Tech drum major and the Pitt Panther found brother Robert Irving Davis (Tech) greeting the panther, brother Bob Davis of the Chi Omicron (Pitt) chapter. It was at this last game that brother Ben Baklarz captained the team and brother A1 Ghizzoni accounted for all of Tech's score. In spite of the curtailment of college activities, the SAE's participated in everything of fraternity interest with special emphasis on the intramural program. Chcsbro. Mower. Burkett, Pott . Culver.

When fall came, the Sigma Nu Fraternity started to function with the help of the returning R. O. T. C. members, Sigma Nu's in the ASTP, and night students. Homecoming and Interfraternity Informal were quite enjoyable events for Sigma Nu. The active chapter served as a nucleus for contacts with the returning alumni. This week-end was highlighted by the return of Hank Holets, John Beatty, Squire Scarlett, Pete Cregut, and some of the other members. The Sigma Nu Fraternity also held many informal house dances during the year. The chapter's function in maintaining contact between the ASTP students and their fraternity assumed a position of major importance with frequent fellowship nights. New men wearing the “White Star of Sigma Nu are helping the fraternity to maintain its position on campus. The Sigma Nu members who are in the service write of the many interesting and exciting things they are doing, and the Carnegie Tech chapter, acting as a clearing house, edits these letters into a newspaper which bears the title, “The Sigma Nu's.” This paper is sent to all the men who have contributed with their letters. It thus maintains a good contact between the men and the fraternity as well as among the many brothers who are in the service. Firit Row: Johnson. Foltc. Novak. Altman.

This year has been very successful for pledging; the number of new members increased so greatly that an annex was added to the house on Walnut Street. Although the boys have been kept busy with their school work, they have managed to find time to indulge in many extra-curricular activities. The Tau Delts are represented in Army Civilian Activities Committee, Interrraternity Council, Pi Tau Sigma, Sully Clan, and Theta Tau. There are five members in the Kiltie Band, two football managers, two football players, and several members on the swimming and basketball teams. The members of the fraternity are well represented on all staffs of the Thistle, Scottie, Technical, and the Tartan. They also had an active interest in intramural sports. The Tau Delts had a very busy social year. Various activities during the past season included pledge dances, the annual Freshman Women's Tea, and an All Invitation Dance. These events, together with early morning breakfasts after the important all-school dances, contributed to a very enjoyable social season. Notwithstanding the loss of men to the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Corps, the Tau Delta Phi Fraternity had been able to carry on the traditional spirit of the fraternity and make this, their fourteenth year on Tech's campus, an outstanding and most successful one.

Pi Chapter of Theta Xi here at Carnegie, which was the first national fraternity on the Tech campus, and the only national fraternity for five years, was installed June 15, 1912, from the locally prominent Gamma Kappa Club. The present house with its ideal location was purchased in 1924. The Theta Xi’s have tried not to let the war spoil their fraternity’s social life. Therefore they have done their best to have dances and novelty parties about twice a month. The social highlights of the year were the hayride and barn dance in October, and the Christmas party in December. During the past summer and fall, Theta Xi participated actively in all intramural sports. In softball T X had a dismal first round, finishing in the cellar. In the second round, however, Theta Xi finished in the middle of its league, which was dominated by the older and more experienced ASTP teams. Theta Xi experienced an up-and-down season in football, finishing behind five other teams which were tied for first and second places. At the end of the season, T X had won six games and lost four. In spite of the decreased enrollment of civilian students, Theta Xi has had a rather successful season in intramural sports and eagerly awaits future seasons and contests. OFFICERS Rahall, G.

Whether it be in scholarship, sports, or social honors, the boys of Pi Kappa Alpha are constantly prominent wherever the records of achievement are to be found. The roster of the various class honoraries are filled with names of our members who have achieved distinction and our athletic cups are numerous. Many a sorority belle will remember with well deserved pleasure our house parties and tea dances. Of course, as everything else, the organization of Pi Kappa Alpha has been rather deeply affected by the war. We have probably felt the rigors of war more directly than most fraternities due to the occupation of our house by the Army, since it is the largest one on the Tech campus. The constant migration of the R.O.T.C. to Fort Belvoir, we are proud to say, is another factor which has affected us measurably, since more than two'thirds of our junior and senior classes of last summer were in the Advanced Corps. We have, at this time, some thirty or forty boys in the services, most of whom are Engineering Officers or Officer Candidates, who would in ordinary times still be in school; and it is our most earnest wish that the day is not far off when these boys can come again to the school and fraternity of which they are so justly proud.

The baby sorority on Carnegie Tech's campus, formerly Mu Alpha Gamma, has gone national, and is now the Alpha Nu chapter of Alpha Epsilon Phi. The girls were pledged at a ceremony, held on October 24, 1943, the Thirty-Fourth anniversary of the founding of the organization, at the apartment of the Pitt chapter. Formal initiation was on November 21, at a banquet at which Mrs. Yon, Dean of Women at Tech, and officers of the National Council spoke. Alpha Epsilon Phi has contributed a fully equipped ambulance to the Red Cross overseas; and at Tech the girls did their part by conducting, for the second year, a successful campaign for scrap metal. Alpha Epsilon Phi members play an important role in the life of the campus. Two of the girls arc on Mortar Board, two are in the journalistic honorary, one is editor-in-chief of the Tartan, and another is president of the Margaret Morrison senior class. Members are in Women's Glee Club, Women's Athletic Association, Carnegie Women's Christian Association, and they work on the Scottie and Thistle; the achievement of which they are most proud is the Tech scholarship cup which they won last year. As the first interschool sorority on campus, it has done much to foster better understanding between the students of Margaret Morrison and Fine Arts; and now, as a national sorority, they hope to contribute even more to the glory of Carnegie.

Rushing last year was highlighted by an artists' garret party at the studio apartment of two of the alumnae, and was followed by an overnight party at a country school house near Lindsay Jordan's home. This rushing program was concluded with a Mother's Tea and a Gay Nineties Coke Party at the Union. To foster good will among all the art school sororities, the Alpha Kaps held an informal tea early this year for repre' sentatives from the different groups. Because of transportation difficulties, the annual summer stay at the Alpha Kap cottage on Van Buren Point had to be abandoned. Social activities continued during the summer, however, with an all'day picnic at North Park, which turned out to be a field day for the bridge fans. A dinner and theater party was held later in the summer. The congeniality and good spirit among the girls is evi' denced in the return of many of the alumnae to the active group affairs and in the activities of the alumnae group itself. The girls take active part in campus social events; last year they sold orange ice at the Women's Guild Dance, and had an Hawaiian dart game concession at Spring Carnival. First Row Quill. Waichler.

The social season got under way with a spaghetti dinner at which twenty eight pledges received their Alpha hats. The pledges countered with a real homecooked meal that made the actives blink, rationing or no rationing. For rough initiation the girls again retreated to Eileen Hilfs cottage in Ligonier, but many a sleepy Alpha appeared at the Pitt'Tech game the following day. The long'awaited initia' tion was held at Hotel Schenley where the large pledge class became formal members of Alpha Theta Sigma. The girls voted, for the first time in several years, to make this an informal affair because of transportation difficulties. Many enjoyable parties and teas were scattered among the main social events. These included a taffy pull, at which, we regret to add, the taffy never got pulled; a Christmas dinner and senior farewell party; a lovely Sunday dinner party given by the Lang's; and a Christmas bridge and tea. The Alphas are active on the Tartan, Scottie, and Thistle and have representatives in Cwens, Mortar Board, and the C.W.C.A. Cabinet. They plan to remain active again this summer regardless of the loss of another senior class before that time. Like the other sororities on campus, the Alphas also plan to become a member of a national fraternity in the near future. OFFICERS McKean. H...... .......... President Stranomrc, D. .................

It was agreed by all that their rushing was a huge success, especially the night club party staged at the Delt House. For their efforts the girls w'ere rewarded by eight new additions to Beta Tau Lambda. Many other social events will leave the girls with fondest memories. None of them will ever forget the exciting ski party at the Summit Hotel, or the pleasure of eating waffles at Dottie King's.

Representatives of this group are found in every campus activity. There are two representatives on A.C.A.C., Dorothy Schadel, President and Mary Ann Rial, Social Chairman. Marion McMahon represents the Gammas on Dorm Council as President. Members of Gamma Phi Sigma are also very active on campus as Mortar Boards, Cwens, and many class offices in Margaret Morrison, such as Vice-President of C.W.C.A., Jean Norris, and Vice-President of the sophomore class, Jean Garland. Gamma Phi Sigma has always meant a chance to make friends and in all possible ways to enrich college life. At the beginning of the semester the Gammas became the Beta Nu Chapter of Delta Gamma. They were among the first sorority groups to join a national fraternity. The Delta Gamma Fraternity was seventy years old on January 2, and is one of the oldest fraternities for women established in the United States. The chapter was installed at Carnegie the weekend of January 28-30. Under the new leadership and inspiration given by the national fraternity, we are looking forward to the Delta Gamma Fraternity establishing itself on Tech's campus in the same position in leadership and scholarship that the Gamma Phi Sigma Sorority held.

With a brilliant past and an alive present, it is looking forward to writing an even more exciting history in the future. Although not the largest sorority on campus, the Tri'Gams (as they have so abbreviated their name) are among the most active. In the past year picnics, corn roasts, bowling games, skating parties, dinners, and week-end parties have filled their calendar. But all their activities have not been directed towards having fun. An active part in campus activities is the policy of Gamma Gamma Gamma, for the affairs of Carnegie Tech are also of importance to her. To this end, Tri-Gam Naomi Skillington is president of Sigma Alpha Iota, Jacquelyn Rusen is director of Chapel Choir, and Carol Myers is treasurer of Intersorority Council. They are also in Cwens, Mortar Baird, Tau Sigma Delta, Army Civilian Activities Council, Dorm Council, and Women's Glee Club. The affairs of the nation are theirs, too. Besides doing their part to keep the blood bank filled, more than fifty dollars worth of bonds and stamps were sold. One of the proudest moments in her history came when she was awarded a cup in Sing and Swing for a medley of “The Cat and the Fiddle.” But Gamma Gamma Gamma will not rest on her laurels. Her motto, “Give your best, live your greatest, with God as your Guide, Tri-Gamma forever,” will not be idle words.

While the Beta Pi's and Kappas were still existing as two separate sororities, they became fast friends at spaghetti dinners, slumber parties, and open houses. Now that they have merged into a single organization it is expected that everlasting bonds of friendship will be formed. The Kappas have been unusually active throughout the year in all campus activities. Several of the girls have found their places on Mortar Board, Cwens, Women's Guild, C. W. C. A.—the president of which is a Kappa—Pi Delta Epsilon, and even the Honor Roll. The editors of the Tartan, Scottie, and Thistle are all Kappas, and have kept the publican tions active in spite of war conditions. Helen Robinson, the sorority president, was elected Snow Queen at the Junior Prom, and at the Senior Ball half of the Queen's court was composed of Kappas. During the early part of the school year, Kappas were primarily interested in rushing, which included luncheon dates, coke parties, and an evening party held at the Kappa Sigma house. At the end of the rushing season the Kappas were gratified to sec the triangular pledge pin of Kappa Phi Delta on nineteen new girls. We have great faith that national fraternities will find their place on campus, and we know that Kappa Kappa Gamma will be one of the best. OFFICERS Beall, R. E.. Vlaskamr, .1.... Marshall, S. M.

We have been constantly on the alert for new and improved procedures in yearbook designing and service. Our modern precision equipment is concrete evidence of adherence to this policy. Our experienced craftsmen and servicemen are carefully supervised by experts in the field of distinctive school publications. We are proud to have played a part in the publishing of this book in the capacity of official photo engravers. Our entire personnel congratulate the staff for their splendid work and cooperation. pONTIAC I . the midst of a warring world we pause momentarily to view this 1944 issue of The Carnegie Thistle and as we leaf through its pages we’re glad that we re Americans, living in a land where it’s still possible to continue with such important events in the lives of our nation's youth as football games, clubs, plays and yearbooks. For those are important, even though at times we may become impatient and dissatisfied with our part in this world conflict. Perhaps attending school, working in offices and shops, and maintaining homes, are not so glamorous to us as dropping bombs over Germany or shelling Japs in the Pacific, but we can, through sanity and right living, do our part by preserving the America for which our armed forces are fighting.

That's the speed of newest West-inghousc motor, producing a tool surface speed of 7.000 feet per minute. This 4 horsepower induction motor has a rotor only 2 inches long, diameter 1 V inches. West-inghouse engineers are now developing a motor to go twice as fast. B'R'R'R'R'R ... A polar bear would be right at home at 20° below zero in the Westinghouse “igloo at East Pittsburgh. This cold chamber is 1500 times as large as the average electric home refrigerator. Here, Westinghouse engineers test ice-coated circuit breakers and other electrical switching equipment, to guarantee operation under worst winter conditions. HIGH LIFE IS HARD on carbon generator brushes in high-flying bombers. They used to wear down to the pigtails in an hour or two, at 30.000 feet. Now Westinghouse engineers have developed a chemical treatment that keeps the brush face lubricated at substratosphere heights. Result: fifty-fold increase in brush life... enough for a dozen raids over Berlin. EVER SEE A MILLIONTH of an inch? Probably you never will—but the Electrigagc can feel as little as twelve millionths. Developed by Westinghouse and Sheffield Corporation, it can measure with a precision equal to finding an error of three-quarters of an inch in a mile. Infinitesimal movement of gauging stylus induces a tiny current, which is amplified 10,000 times. AIR IS HEAVY STUFF when you start pushing it around at 400 miles an hour. That’s why U. S. Army needed a 40,000 horsepower electric motor to create a man-made hurricane, for testing airplanes in Wright Field wind tunnel. It is the world’s largest wound-rotor induction motor, designed and built by Westinghouse engineers. Chemical analyses— right now! Above is the laboratory model of the Westinghouse mass spectrometer, which sorts out dissimilar molecules according to their mass, and does it almost as fast as you can snap your fingers. The mass spectrometer provides a new way to get the quick, accurate analyses that are needed to maintain precise process control. Take the synthetic rubber industry, for example. Formerly, five men took as long as three days to complete necessary chemical tests in the processing of artificial rubber—which meant that the results were often too late to be useful. The nezv electronic “chemist,” the Westinghouse mass spectrometer, no:v makes these tests in about 15 minutes. For leadership in the electrical solution of industry’s problems, look to Westinghouse.

MESTA MACHINE COMPANY..PITTSBURGH, PA. How you safeguard Estate and Trust Funds in your care?” HE, like most farsighted citizens these days, is more interested in protecting the capital he leaves than in prefiguring future interest rates. To assure safety of principal, estate funds should be kept under constant review by a competent organization. The executor and trustee should be given authority to sell or re-invest as and when conditions change. When to buy and when to sell calls for experienced judgment. Many individuals lack it. Trust Institutions are in a position to give it. Speaking for ourselves, eternal watchfulness is the watchword of our trust business. Is the future protection of your property uppermost in your mind? If so, we invite you to investigate our methods of investing and handling the estate funds left in our care as executor and trustee. It goes without saying that this invitation implies no commitment on your part. Fidelity Trust Company 341-343 FOURTH A V E. PITTSBURGH MEMBER FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORA!
