Text from Pages 1 - 248 of the 1950 volume:

THE JUNIOR CLASS Like the facets of a diamond is a man’s personality. Some traits arc obvious and sparkle for all; others arc hidden and revealed to few. Such is the personality of Robert E. Doherty. Few students do not DEDICATION know of his success as an educator, administrator, and scholar. Many students do not know of his skill as an artist, pianist, and gracious host. Anyone who has visited with Dr. and Mrs. Doherty knows what genuine people they arc. Their lives have been devoted to Carnegie Institute of Technology—not out of a sense of duty, but out of a sense of love for youth and its expectations. Let the world remember our president for the Carnegie Plan; but let us, the students, remember him for laying at oifr feet the foundation that will enable us to live happily in a chaotic world. As he leaves us, we wish him happiness. We will miss him. When a diamond has passed from view, we remember its beauty. y -jrr. ADMINISTRATION The Administration is just a fancy name to some students for the important looking creatures who inhabit the larger offices of Industries Hall. This opinion, however, is too narrow. The Administration is important, and does do more than occupy office space. They work just as hard as any over-worked student. They offer more services free than most students realize. They keep the wheels of the school running smoothly. They arc trying to help the students because every member of the Administration has experienced the sufferings” of the undergraduate. It is not quite fair for the beneficiaries of their hard work to begrudge them any recognition. How much time would it take the individual student to look up the information in a Public Relations release? Where arc there more sympathetic cars than in the Dean’s office? Who could solve the registration problems better than a man with twenty-five years of experience? Answer these questions honestly and see that the Administration is more help than hindrance. JOHN C. WARNER, Dean of Graduate School John C. Warner, Dean of the Graduate School, will be formally inaugurated as president of Carnegie Tech in October, 1950. Dr. Warner has expressed his approval of the Carnegie Plan, believing that the established policies arc good” and should be carried on to make this institute an even finer center for creative work and scholarship. ELLIOT DUNLAP SMITH, Provost Elliot Dunlap Smith, Provost and Maurice Falk Professor of Social Relations, came to Tech in 1945. He meets with department heads and teachers, plans undergraduate education, and keeps the Carnegie Plan running smoothly. Before he came to Tech he had been the Master of Saybrook College at Yale University for thirteen years, and for nine years he was the Personnel Manager and Divisional Manager of the Dennison Manufacturing Company. He has received degrees from Harvard and Yale and has had a year of study in Europe as well. BOARD OF DIRECTORS JAMES A. DICKINSON, Dean of Men Dean James A. Dickinson, B. A., M. A., Ph.D is well known to students as Carnegie’s Dean of Men. In addition to coordinating student activities which are under Student Council regulation, Mr. Dickinson also handles an extensive financial aid program for students seeking loans or part-time employment. Due to his efforts, the class reorganization program has begun to function this year. Mr. Dickinson believes that this program can contribute to a greater feeling of belonging to Carnegie Tech as an institution, as opposed to departmental loyalty.” JOSEPHINE CAMPBELL, Dean of Women With an enviable record of her past achievements, including Registrar at Irving College and Hartwich College, Admissions and Public Relations officer at Pennsylvania College for Women, and Officer in the Waves for four years, Dean Campbell has been Tech’s capable Dean of Women for the last two years. One of her major accomplishments is the activities book which maintains an accurate account of all the social activities on campus. A few of her many duties are making needed regulations and advising girls on everyday problems concerning their studies and dormitory and social life. BEN E. DAVID, Assistant Dean of Men Dean Ben E. David is Carnegie Tech’s admired and respected Assistant Dean of Men. Previous to his arrival at Tech, he was a freelance writer and newspaper city editor. As advisor to the fraternities, he attends Council of Fraternity Presidents meetings; Dean David also regulates part time employment for students and is financial advisor for all student activities. DOUGLAS F. MINER, Director of Student Personnel and Welfare Douglas F. Miner is Director of Student Personnel and Welfare. He is responsible for solving all student problems that arise in the extra-curricular program. By discovering and eliminating these difficulties, his department insures students of the best possible opportunities. His aim is to improve Carnegie’s health service, to secure a student union, and to provide better facilities for the employment department. Now editing a handbook on engineering materials. Dr. Miner was with Westinghousc before teaching at Carnegie. JOHN M. DANIELS, Director of Admissions The Director of Admissions, Mr. John M. Daniels, states that the function of his department is to try to be of service to those who arc applying for entrance and to interest them in our program. He is responsible for the records of applicants, and has charge of information for admissions and public relations with all secondary schools. He feels that two great needs at Carnegie arc a library and a student union and encourages renewed student interest in college activities. H. R. PATTON, Controller H. R. Patton, controller and business manager of Carnegie Tech, is in charge of all the financial and business operations of the school. He is now working on plans for the new Industrial Administration building, the new men's dormitories, which will be built in the future, as well as the present building program. MELVIN J. VOIGT, Supervisor of Libraries Melvin J. Voigt, supervisor of Carnegie Tech’s many libraries, is responsible for the development of the school library facilities and the familiarization of students with the library. Mr. Voigt believes that the recent expansion of the library system offers better facilities for student use. He thinks a new listening and controlling room and a larger reference room will stimulate student interest in the library. Under his leadership, the library circulation of 120,000 volumes has increased 15,000 every year. STANLEY R. MARCH, Director of Public Relations Stanley R. March, Director of Public Relations, thinks this has been one of Carnegie Tech’s biggest news years. Nuclear Research Center completion, retirement of President Doherty, and the I. A. School have drawn widespread public attention. Mr. March is anxious to make the Carnegie Plan” better understood and feels that the improvement in understanding of the serious purpose of CIT on the part of the students is an important phase of public relations. TONY ANTIN, Editor, Carnegie Newsletter Adviser of student publications, and editor of the Carnegie Newsletter, the official publicity release of CIT. Tony Antin’s greatest ambition is to bring national recognition to the Carnegie Plan” for professional education. Mr. Antin, a Rutgers graduate, is pleased with the editorial board system now in operation here at Carnegie Tech. EARL K. COLLINS, Registrar Earl K. Collins, Registrar at Carnegie, is in charge of student registration and efficiently solves problems which arise. He also secs that the students personal records arc carefully and accurately maintained. He is a member of the Public Occasions Coordinating Committee which handles such school events as Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises. COLLEGE of ENGINEERING The Carnegie Plan is a familiar phrase to every student at CIT. But it is more than just words to the engineer. The Carnegie Plan is his education. Every course is theory in practice. Because of this revolution in engineering education, the College of Engineering and Science of Carnegie Institute of Technology is becoming increasingly famous. Offering degrees in Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, and Metallurgical Engineering, the college graduates not just engineers but well-integrated men. The Social Relations program is designed to make the student aware that the world is not composed of slide rules and mathematical formulas. A graduate of the Carnegie Plan has a knowledge of the responsibilities of his world along with the best technical background for his scientific career. He is given courses in other options aside from his own to interrelate the engineering field. Dr. Webster N. Jones is Dean of the College of Engineering and Science and directs the functioning of the present facilities as well as the expansion program. Progress has been made under his guidance and each year finds Tech taking new honors in the training of engineers. DEPARTMENT of CHEMISTRY DR. JOHN C. WARNER Next year, the present head of the Department of Chemistry, Dr. John C. Warner, will take over Dr. Robert Doherty’s duties as President of Carnegie Tech. Dr. Frederick D. Rossini, chief of the Thermochemistry Department of the National Bureau of Standards, has been appointed to take his place. Dr. Rossini, an eminent alumnus of Carnegie Tech, is known for his ability, not only as a scientist, but also as an author and lecturer. He will assume his post in July, 1950. Those men graduating from the Chemistry Department this year have been well prepared to take their places in the scientific world of today. Since emphasis has been placed upon thorough understanding of the fundamentals of chemical theory, the men who do not continue their studies in graduate work are ready to further Carnegie’s reputation of excellence by their accomplishments in research, sales work, teaching or any other related occupation. Much research is also under way at present in the Department of Chemistry. Important work is being done in the fields of gas kinetics, radiochemistry, organic chemistry, infra-red spcctometry, and theories of molecular structure. FACULTY ROW 1—D. McKinney, P. Fmgsul, R.

The Carnegie Chemist Club continued to carry out its purpose of bringing the undergraduates, graduates, and faculty members of the Chemistry Department together so that they might become better acquainted. All members of the department arc members of the club, but the program is designed and carried out by the juniors and seniors with the aid of their advisor. Dr. J. P. Fugassi. New and old members became acquainted during the Halloween Party held at the Union; a number of highly informal smokers were held during the year. Following the example of the successful intramural baseball team of last spring, a basketball team was organized which had a similarly successful season. Through the efforts of Dr. Fugassi, the club was able to sponsor a talk by Dr. Otto Eiscnschiml, a well-known lecturer and chemical industrialist. Several student papers were read at a convention of the undergraduate chemists of the Pittsburgh district colleges. The convention was held at Duquesne University. The annual banquet was held in March. The program included a speaker, an exhibition of magic, and a skit by the students. The social activities of the year were brought to a close with a picnic. The enthusiastic participation of students and faculty throughout the year indicated that the club will continue to fulfill its purpose. CARNEGIE CHEMIST CLUB ROW I— M. Bacon, . Tucker, M. Herzog, C.

DEPARTMENT of CHEMICAL ENGINEERING CARL C. MONRAD As the comparatively young field of Chemical Engineering expands, that department at Carnegie Tech also has continued to grow. Under the direction of department head. Dr. Carl C. Monrad, many improvements, both in course organization and in the physical plant of the department, have been made within the past year. The Unit Operations Laboratory, scene of senior experimental work, has been brightened by a complete paint job and many new pieces of apparatus have been added. Research has been encouraged through expanded facilities and work in this important field has continued on a large scale. Included among the studies being made by the members of the faculty are investigations of fluid flow, gas absorbtion, thermo-dynamic P-V-T correlation, vapor-liquid equilibrium, heat transfer, and liquid extraction. One new man, Dr. E. W. Grohsc of the University of Delaware, has been added to the faculty which also includes Dr. Monrad, R. Rothfus, R. Beckman, and J. C. Edmister. Fifty-five men will be graduated from the department this year as compared to last year’s class of seventy-five. The difference in size is an indication of the return to pre-war normalcy.

The American Institute of Chemical Engineers is a national society for students in the Departments of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. Membership is open to students enrolled in their sophomore year or above including those in graduate courses. The activities are of such a nature as to supplement the courses given in the Chemical Engineering Department. The object of the society is to foster a professional attitude toward Chemical Engineering by combining the social aspects with the technical side of the course. At Homecoming, A.I.Ch.E. sponsored a laboratory display of unit operations AlChE in the basement of Engineering Hall. The Tech division of the society, under the direction of Dr. C. C. Monrad, also offered their services at the National Conference of A.I.Ch. E. held this year in Pittsburgh. Tech members then held a Student Night with the University of Pittsburgh and other Tri-State schools where representatives of industry delivered informal talks in different phases of Chemical Engineering and then held panel discussions. Most of A.I.Ch.E.’s activities were planned by junior members, this year the officers being Richard Dciningcr, Delbert Button, Gerald Daurellc, and William Schcffy. ROVC' 1—G. Djurelle, R.

MAVIS FACULTY At mid-year, the department’s move to new quarters was completed. New offices, new classrooms, and new laboratory space in Industries Hall have fulfilled a long-standing need. A centralizing of activities has been effected that remedies a sore point in the old Engineering Hall location. Centralization of the physical plant enhances pursuance of the departmental policy of team working. Problems arc attacked by organized squads rather than disorganized individuals, with the result that greater amounts of more difficult work arc done. Incidental to the problem solution, the individuals learn cooperative action, pooling of resources and cross-checking of results. Undergraduate research projects parallcd the graduate and faculty laboratory exercises. Not content with standard testing of their specimens, the lab-technicians have designed and built new testing equipment for both the structural materials and the hydraulics sections. Old and new equipment provide a physical plant adequate for all foreseeable research and demonstrative purposes. Such varied activities as testing of soil samples, measuring energy differentials in a hydraulic pump, and pouring a reinforced concrete beam proceed simultaneously. Men studying for a profession in the Civil Engineering field arc eligible for membership in the American Society of Civil Engineers. The A. S. C. E., which is an international professional society, prepares students for entry into the Civil Engineering profession and affords them an opportunity to make various contacts with men who have had experience in this engineering field. Carnegie Tech’s A. S. C. E., whose membership is made up primarily of juniors and seniors, has pursued an active program this year. The publication of a monthly paper, ASCE Tics,” is one of the main activities of the Society. During the monthly meetings, the members hear instructive talks from prominent men in the engineering profession. Under the leadership of president Nicholas Coates, the group has been active with the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Society, gone on a number of field inspection trips, had several social events, and participated in intramural activities. This year the A. S. C. E. team won the school championship in its football league. ROW 1—A. FerUl, R. Henry, G. Mot-KAUr. ROW 2—N. Co tn, P. Accorti, E. Ktrr.

The school year 1949-50 found the Department of Electrical Engineering intent on its program of undegraduate study, graduate study, and research. Dr. B. R. Teare, Department Head, leads a faculty of fourteen in teaching and using the basic educational principles of Carnegie Tech in all three realms of education. In June, 1950, seventy seniors will be graduated from this department. Representing the large class of veterans who started at Tech in 1946, nearly forty per cent of these men arc married. The graduate school of the Electrical Department claims thirty-six students, about sixty per cent of whom obtained their Bachelor of Science Degrees from schools other than Carnegie. Research continues in such fields as magnetic amplifiers, servomechanisms, electronic motor controls, and much of the work done is on testing and developing of industrial apparatus. One new man, Mr. Clarence Jones, from the University of California, has been added to the faculty this year as an instructor in electronics. AIEE As a result of an intensive recruiting campaign over the past twelve months, the A.I.E.E. and I.R.E. now represent about forty per cent of the juniors and eighty per cent of the seniors in the Electrical Engineering Department. The basic purpose of the student organizations is to develop an early interest in the national organization and thereby foster the students’ professional development. In addition to recruiting, the local group acted as host to twenty colleges in the 1949 Prize-Paper Competition, sponsored field trips and speakers, cooperated in the allschool open house, and published the departmental newspaper, Large Charge.” To round out the activities for the year, a smoker and a picnic arc being planned for this spring.

The first semester, a big stag smoker was held in the SAE house for members and prospective members. This function proved so successful, that it was used during the selection of men in the spring. For Homecoming, the actives and pledges worked with the A. I. E. E. to provide open-house displays for the alumni and interested visitors. On December 7, 1949, fifteen men were initiated after carrying out an extensive pledgcship complete with name tags and essays. Dr. R. E. Doherty spoke at the banquet about his industrial experiences. Richard Lyman was awarded a prize for his electrical name-tag and Frank Primozich won first prize for his essay on Meter Damage.” ROW 1 — D. Besumsrisge, D. Vtr Plsnck, E. SchafZ, R. MstbuI, G.

The Department of Mathematics, under the capable direction Professor J. B. Rosenbach, has become one of the best centers of pure and applied mathematics in the United States and Canada. The Department, in addition to offering many required and elective courses, offers programs at the undergraduate level both in pure and applied mathematics leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science, and programs of advanced study and research leading to the degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Science. This past year, especially, the Department has been unusually active. It has sponsored both an Undergraduate Seminar and a Graduate Seminar each of which met once a week. Each year, the Department invites one or two distinguished mathematicians as visiting professors. Those already in residence include such notables as Professor N. W. McLachlan of London, Professor F. D. Murnaghan of Johns Hopkins, Professor E. R. Lorch of Columbia, and Professor A. C. Schaeffer of Purdue. A single honor was awarded the Department when its team, consisting of G. L. Baldwin, R. E. Cutkosky, and R. M. Drisko, won third place in the national William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition. Pi Mu Epsilon is an honorary mathematics fraternity. Its purpose is to foster interest in mathematics through lectures and recognition of outstanding work in this field. Pi Mu Epsilon is open to students having at least three math courses above the sophomore level and the required scholastic average. It is also open to faculty members who have given outstanding service to mathematics. The activities of Pi Mu Epsilon during the past year began with Call Day ceremonies at Homecoming. Several lectures were given including those by Dr. A. Fraenkcl from the Hebrew University at Jerusalem on The So-Called Crisis in the Foundations of Mathematics and Logic” and by Dr. Herbert Simon, Head of the Industrial Administration Department here at Carnegie Tech, on The Mathematical Theory of Games.” Second semester activities included Pi Mu Epsilon’s annual Initiation Banquet and all-school assembly. The officers of Pi Mu Epsilon for 1949-1910 were: Richard C. DiPrima, Director; Douglas H. Shaffer, Vice Director; William H. Warner, Secretary; and Bccklcy Smith, Jr., Treasurer.

This shifting of the curriculum has as its goal an increase in the strength of work in fluid mechanics and better continuity. Such courses as the sophomore Elements, E-JOS, the thrcc-scmcstcr Machine Design, and two Fluid Mechanics courses were introduced as replacements for less efficient courses in these fields. Another addition to the laboratory apparatus were two Wcstinghouse steam turbines which arc complete miniature electric generating units. A relocation of laboratory equipment has also been effected this year. During Homecoming the department featured an open house at which students demonstrated and explained the operation of the experimental equipment of the department. The faculty ranks have been boosted by the addition of three assistant professors holding doctors’ degrees; they arc: William F. Stokcy, Walton Forstall, Jr. and Clarence M. Tyler, Jr. ASME The purpose of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (A. S. M. E.) is the advancement of mechanical engineering. It is a national honorary society open to all junior and senior mechanical engineers who arc in good standing with the department. This year's activities of the Tech division of A. S. M. E. include a Smoker, at which the members were shown technical movies; also, several meetings were sponsored by the Pittsburgh section of mechanical engineering graduates and conducted at the Bureau of Mines. Speakers at these sessions included the Head of the Bureau of Placements at the University of Pittsburgh, the Manager of Training at Westinghousc, and a representative from the Carncgic-Illinois Corporation. The Tech division also sponsored the national student conference where outstanding papers of students were read to the group, prizes awarded, and a banquet and dance held. The officers of A. S. M. E. for 1949-JO were: William Leone, Honorary Chairman; William Fields, Student Chairman; Frank Becker, Vice-Chairman; and Charles Gerding, Secretary-Treasurer. Iota Chapter of Pi Tau Sigma has kept the traditions of the fraternity alive over the past year and has continued growing, both in number and in spirit. The national mechanical engineering honorary fraternity was established in 1930, and the past year can be ranked high among its many other successful ones. The purpose of Pi Tau Sigma is twofold: To foster the high ideals of the engineering profession, and to stimulate the engineering student’s interest in his community, his profession, and himself. The organization also serves to establish a close bond of friendship among its members. The fraternity’s members arc chosen from among the junior and senior students of the Department of Mechanical Engineering on the basis of engineering ability and interest, scholastic record and personality. PI TAU SIGMA DEPARTMENT of METALLURGICAL ENGINEERING ROBERT F. MEHL The Metallurgical Engineering Department at Carnegie tries to inculcate the student in well-directed habits and ambitions that will help him in the process of becoming a metallurgist,” wrote Dr. Robert F. Mehl, head of the department and director of the Metals Research Laboratory. With this aim in view, the department has added a new senior course to the curriculum. This course is designed to couple the principles of the basic sciences and metallurgy with an introduction to integration with other branches of engineering and with the economic aspects of associated industries. The department plans to take over the former Civil Engineering spaces in Engineering Flail and modernize it with new and efficient student and research laboratories. In addition, the department plans to more than double the present space for its graduate and sponsored research. The Metals Laboratory is currently working on the use of radioactive tracers in the study of metallurgical reactions. Carnegie is one of three activities in the Pittsburgh area conducting research in this particular field. This past year the faculty of the Metallurgical Department took an active part in the Metals Congress in Cleveland. FAC U LT Y ROW 1—C. Dubel, R. Mr hi, W. Pbilbrook. . l.uJewig. ROW 2—F. Rhinet, C.

METALS CLUB The Metals Club, first organization of its type at Carnegie Tech, is an affiliated student.chapter of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers. The membership of the Club includes all students in the department. Last year, the Metals Club resolved to promote social intercourse among the Metallurgy students. Toward this end, the Club organized teams to play in the Intramural sports program. This organization also devoted time and energy toward preparing an attractive and educational layout for the departmental open-house. At social meetings of the Club, guest speakers from the industry and related fields arc featured. The Ladle, a monthly paper, is published by the Club. This publication is unique in that it is the only printed departmental paper on campus, others being published in mimeographed sheets. The aim of The Ladle last year was to make this paper hold more interest for the alumni. The editors of the publication arc: Editor-in-chief, William Lambert; Managing Editor, Albert Kimmel; Business Manager, John Brown. ROW 1—-W. Lambert, B. Sptranza, P. Trosso. ROW 2—C. McCoy, .

EDWARD CREUTZ DEPARTMENT of PHYSICS The Physics Department progressed through the school year 1949-1950 with several changes in the undergraduate program and advances in the graduate program. The freshman curriculum now combines the first and second semester physics course into a single unit scheduled in the second semester. A new course in Advanced Nuclear Theory takes into account the most modern theory of atomic structure. The department is taking great strides in research with the development of the Synchro-cyclotron and the Collins helium liqueficr at the Saxonburg laboratories. The research department has also been working with the University of Pittsburgh in the study of nuclear structure, the forces between particles in the nucleus, and the mechanism of nuclear reactions. As well as one hundred and four students in the undergraduate school, the Physics Department boasts one of the largest graduate schools with sixty-seven students. Comparable to this is the acquisition of Dr. Sergio Bencdetti as a professor and Dr. Arnold Clark as an assistant professor on the teaching staff. Both of these men arc outstanding scientists 3nd leaders in their field. FACULTY ROW 1—R. Borfman, J. Fox, L. XPolfrnUtin, E. Pugh. E. F.itrrmann. ROW 2—W. Lino, C. Willitmion, A. Clark, R. Sutton.

CLEETON •MY HEART IN THE WORK ANDREW CARNEGIE 1900 The Department of Humanistic and Social Studies is common to every other department in the school. The Social Relations program of the Carnegie Plan operates through this department. The courses offered under the program include English composition, economics, psychology, foreign languages, history, public speaking, and literature. These courses help provide a more flexible education for professional and technical students, and arc designed to humanize and broaden the student’s approach to his professional and personal life. The Department strives to give a liberal education in a highly specialized school. Under the jurisdiction of the Department of Humanistic and Social Studies arc the School of Industrial Administration and the Department of Printing. The now famous school for bosses” operated under a scmi-cxpcrimcntal plan this year and plans to work full time next year with a larger enrollment. The Printing Department is probably the best equipped and most famous of all printing schools. The regular four-year course and the two-year graduate course both offer a Bachelor of Science degree in Printing Administration. DEPARTMENT of INDUSTRIAL ADMINISTRATION GEORGE L. BACH Dr. Herbert A. Simon became new head of the Department of Industrial Administration in September. Author of many books. Dr. Simon graduated from the University of Chicago. Last year he taught at Illinois Technical Institute at Chicago. The new Industrial Administration graduate school was founded by William L. Mellon and opened in September, 1949. Dr. George L. Bach of the Department of Economics, assumed the position of Dean of the Graduate School of Industrial Administration. During the spring semester. Dr. Pierson Hunt, visiting professor from Harvard, conducted a special course for graduate students and sub-seniors in The Economics of Business Finance.” The new Industrial Administration building will be started next spring in the present parking lot site near the Fine Arts Building.

Founded to develop efficiency through the study and application of scientific principles and methods of management, to bring about a better understanding of management interests, and to provide means whereby professional application is studied, arc the purposes of the Society. Each week throughout (he year, a departmental seminar was held in which the students were addressed by executives in industrial organizations. Union problems were also discussed when various labor leaders attended the seminars. Further work was done by certain committees, one of which was the Education Committee. This group evaluated all the courses taken by members of the department and then reported their findings to the faculty. The Senior Employment Aid Committee attempted to gather and distribute information to aid seniors to find job openings. ROW I— F. Lmmt, E. Polatko. R. Holt. R. MrMjim. T. Rally, Dyer. ROW 2—R.

HLASTA DEPARTMENT of PRINTING The goal of the Department of Printing Administration at Carnegie Tech is to train men to hold responsible positions in the production and management branches of the printing and publishing industry. Holding this goal in mind, the Department introduces its students to numerous basic graphic art processes so that the men may become familiar with the various processes during their education. The men also learn the significance of typographic design; and the operations and limitations of printing equipment as well as modern techniques for improving production. The academic and laboratory printing techniques taught arc supplemented by senior and graduate student planned tours of printing plants and allied industries. The curriculum is designed to accommodate high school and college graduates. The basic course requires four years in order to attain a degree, and there is also a graduate course of two years offered. Both courses lead to the Bachelor of Science degree in Printing Administration. In the past year, this curriculum has been changed to include courses in sales management and cost accounting for printers to assure maximum coverage of all phases of the industry. ROW I—II.

A. applied for its charter in 1946; it was approved in 1948. As expressed in the Constitution, the purpose of the organization is to stimulate and encourage those engaged in the Graphic Arts . . . and generally to do all things which will raise the standards and aid in the extension and development of the Graphic Arts. Open to all members of the Printing Department, A. I. G. A. sponsors lectures and discussions and exhibitions during the year. The group sponsored the Fifty Books of the Year” exhibition, which was on display in the Carnegie Museum in 1948-49. The 1950 projects consisted mainly of a showing, Printing in Congress.” A part of the printers’ reunion, this was displayed in the Fine Arts exhibition room the latter part of April. Officers for the year include Jack Braun, president; Thomas Cook, vice-president; Robert McCain, secretary; Donald Wickizcr, treasurer, and Prof. Homer Sterling, faculty adviser.

COLLEGE of FINE ARTS DEAN KENNETH JOHNSTONE “MY HEART IS IN THE WORK ANDREW CARNEGIE 1900 The College of Fine Arts of Carnegie Institute of Technology trains students interested in the creative arts of painting, drama, architecture, and music. Each department offers extensive study in its particular field, plus correlated subjects in English and history to encourage thought and expression in the particular art. Painting and Design students may specialize in illustration, industrial design, or education. Exhibits of work done in the department are open to the entire student body. The Department of Drama offers courses in acting, playwriting, and directing. The productions presented by the drama students include both works of Shakespeare and student playwrights. The Architecture Department is famous for its options in architectural design, architectural construction, and interior decoration. The work of this department is not often on display, but the prizes won by the students in the department arc evidence of its prominence in the architectural world. Music students are far from the forgotten members of the student body. They may specialize in one particular phase of music or may train to teach. Their contribution to the school is obvious at every function where music is needed. DEPARTMENT of ARCHITECTURE JOHN K. SHEAR The Department of Architecture is concerned with training the individual to recognize and answer the architectural needs of man. The course of study includes the technical and expressive mastery of the graphic arts, familiar to students in Painting and Design; elements of engineering in methods and theory of construction; the study of man’s earlier attempts to solve his architectural problems; and the theory and practice of organizing the understanding and abilities developed in the several programs of study for the solution of contemporary problems. The aspiring young architect begins his freshman year with the study of basic principles and concepts involved in the design process. In subsequent years the application of these principles is applied to architectural problems of increasing variety and complexity, starting with the individual dwelling and culminating in the organization of entire communities to serve human needs more adequately. The department offers a five year plan to attain professional status for the graduates; its three main options are architectural design, architectural construc-FACULTY tion, and interior design. .

ARCHITECTURE STUDENT GROUP Primarily, the purpose of the Architectural Student Group is to foster interest in the architectural field by allowing all students in good standing with the department to play a more active part in departmental functions. Originally, the ASG was affiliated with the Scarab, a national honorary architectural fraternity. However, this relationship proved unsatisfactory. Under the able direction of Howard Johe, president; Edward Sullam, treasurer; and Anita Cole, secretary, plans for reorganization, pointing toward a national affiliation with the American Institute of Architecture, arc well underway. The ASG hopes to establish eventually a student chapter of this fraternity here at Tech. Throughout the past year, the ASG sponsored several social functions including their Annual Outing at South- Park early in fall and a series of lectures and movies pertaining to their field. The group concluded activities with their Annual Spring Banquet in April. At this time, prizes won by students of the Department were awarded; and a special tribute to Miss MeGann, Secretary of the Department, who is retiring this year, was paid.

DEPARTMENT of DRAMA LAWRENCE CARRA Carnegie Institute of Technology first opened the Department of Drama in 1914, pioneering in the recognition of the theatre as an art demanding the same technical and cultural background as other arts. Since that year, the Carnegie Theatre has produced over six hundred plays of all types. Each year the department undertakes eight major productions, each running for about nine performances. This year Carnegie students have enjoyed many fine performances in the Theatre among which such plays as Richard III, The Good Woman of Setzuan, and Skin of My Teeth have been outstanding. Two original plays written by students of the department have been produced this year. Today Just Like Tomorrow, written by Gene Feist junior playwright, and Lady Ride My Horse, by Louis Adclman, senior playwright, exemplify the excellent training which drama students receive in the art. Several curriculum changes have been effected within the Drama School this year with the view of streamlining the curriculum by reducing the number of options in the department. Also, a new course in styles of acting, which trains the student’s practical application of the acting techniques in different ages, was added to the sophomore schedule. FACULTY ROW 1 —D. Franks, G.

As a result of the changes, the standards and requirements for entering freshmen arc much higher than in previous years. The Music Department offers four courses to eligible students: Instrumental, Singing, Music Education, and Composition. Each course gives a well balanced schedule built around the major subject and other music and academic subjects. All freshmen entering the school of music arc scheduled for the same subjects; however, in the beginning of the sophomore year, students may choose their major option and follow this course for the remaining three years. There arc a number of performing groups in the department including a symphonic orchestra, all-student chorus, string ensemble, wind ensemble, and smaller chamber music groups. Besides the concerts given by these groups, smaller recitals are held with individual soloists. Outstanding students in these activities may be elected into one of the two national professional fraternities in the department, Phi Mu Alpha or Sigma Alpha Iota. Advanced students are given the opportunity of presenting concerts in either the Theater or Exhibition Hall of the College of Fine Arts. PHI MU ALPHA SINFONIA ROW 1—W. Scheefer, R. I bomfiwn, A.

Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, a national honorary musical fraternity, was organized to foster interest and advancement in the field of music. Members in the Alpha Omega chapter here at Tech arc selected from the three upper classes of the Music Department, with any student in all colleges eligible by virtue of participation in extra-curricular activities in music. The chapter organizes social functions to create enthusiasm and espirit dc corps” within the Department. Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia sponsored many recitals this year, including performances by the Music Department, the Music faculty, and the Pittsburgh Symphony. In addition to these activities, the chapter also sponsored lectures on both musical and non-musical subjects, which were open to the entire student body. The officers for the 1949-50 season were W. Rudolph Thompson, President; J. Fred Gentz, National Councilman; A. Duane Sample, Vice President; James Baughman, Treasurer; C. Dean Streator, Secretary; and James Gump, Historian. ROW I—M. Htlm, S.

Sigma Alpha Iota, national professional honorary for women, has completed its twentieth successful year on the Carnegie Institute of Technology campus. Through the past year the aim, of S. A. I. has been to present to the faculty and students of Carnegie prominent men and women active in the field of music, and to acquaint the students on campus with contemporary and classical music. The organization also serves to promote the highest professional ethics and culture among music students in the school of Fine Arts. Sigma Alpha Iota selects its members from women who arc outstanding in scholarship, leadership, and musical ability. During the year the organization sponsored numerous recitals and social functions which served to promote a closer relationship between its members. Among the social functions sponsored by Sigma Alpha Iota was a dinner to honor the band conductors visiting CIT for the Band Festival. SIGMA ALPHA IOTA DEPARTMENT of PAINTING and DESIGN WILFRED A. READIO In the four years spent at Carnegie Institute of Technology, Painting and Design students work to complete a course designed to give them a firm professional background in one of the three majors offered by the department: pictorial design and illustration, industrial design, and art education. Majors in pictorial design specialize in making pictures for use in both illustration and advertising, while industrial design students prepare for the functional and visual design of manufactured articles. The education major prepares those students wishing to enter the field of art in public education. This department is interested and active in bringing the best art to the attention of the students. Throughout the year the Painting and Design Department arranges displays of both professional and student work. These displays arc open to the public free of charge. The senior P D’s have organized a film group which provides movies of artistic and educational interest. Anyone may attend these movies by purchasing a season ticket. Because of the full schedule carried by Painting and Design students, they have few free hours, and arc seen only at break time when the classes adjourn for fifteen minutes and go en masse to Skibo for the traditional cup of coffee. Four times a year P D’s have judgment. They collect and submit their work for the quarter to a faculty group who study and grade it. FACULTY ROW I— . Kenney. H. Horner, R. Felver. ROW 2 —Mrs. .

TAU SIGMA DELTA Tau Sigma Delta is a national honorary composed of students from the Departments of Architecture and Painting and Design. The chief purpose of Tau Sigma Delta is to further understanding between Architecture and Painting and Design. Membership to this society is open to juniors and seniors who arc in the upper third of their class. At present members number about thirty. Meetings arc held monthly, at which time forums and discussions on current trends in architecture and painting arc conducted. Recently, this society, which had been inactive for a few years, was reorganized. One of the highlights of this year’s program was an exhibit, The Orient” in Fine Arts exhibition room. Another exhibit is planned for the spring; it concerns Community Planning. The officers of the organization arc Master, Helen Lewis; Scribe, Ila Matson; Recorder, Casimir Pellegrini; and faculty advisors, Mr. Robert Leper and Mr. Robert Shear. ROW l—H. Lewir, D. Cantor, C.

WINCHESTER “MY HEART IS IN THE WORK “I ANDREW CARNEGIE 19 The women’s division of Carnegie Institute of Technology popularly known as Maggie Murph” takes a green college freshman and turns her into a mature woman who is a specialist in her chosen field. Margaret Morrison Carnegie College consists of five departments: Home Economics, Social Work, Secretarial, Science, and General Studies. Any option under these departments fully equips the student for life outside of college. The Carnegie Plan is at work in MMCC too. A home economics major docs not confine herself to clothing and cooking courses. She must take some phase of history and economics as well as English to supplement her concentrated courses. The science major is very much like the engineer in that she is working with strictly scientific courses. She too must supplement her work with English and history. Every Margaret Morrison student takes chemistry or physics as well as psychology in order to broaden her scope of thinking and relate herself to her position in the world. Under the direction of Miss Edith M. Winchester, Margaret Morrison has kept abreast of the rest of the school in new ideas and teaching facilities. Many improvements have been made in lab workrooms, and a variety of new courses has been offered to students in the college. DEPARTMENT of GENERAL SCIENCE HAROLD L. LANG The General Science Department is designed to train women in the fundamental technical principles and procedures which will enable them to take their places in the world of industrial science and also to provide them with a theoretical background which may be used as a basis for further research in the graduate science field or in the field of medicine. The choice of option in the department, chemistry or biology, allows students to major in the field in which they arc most interested. However, courses in one option may be elected by students in the other option. Literature, language, and psychology electives, as well as electives from other professional courses may also be fitted into the science student’s schedule. Thus in the end, graduates of the Science Department possess not only a specific knowledge and ability in their own field, but also a side general knowledge of other subjects. FACULTY ROW 1—Mm. R.

GENERAL SCIENCE CLUB The purpose of the Margaret Morrison General Science Club is to further correlate classroom study and laboratory experiment with present day practical application of science in industry and scientific developments in the related pure sciences. Although the Science Club functions chiefly for the benefit of Science students, its membership is open to persons in other departments who have an interest in science. The club’s activities throughout the year include tours to places such as Mellon Institute and the chemical laboratories of Gulf Research, dinner-discussion meetings, bi-monthly meetings highlighted by speakers, displays or movies, and the annual Christmas party with alumnae.

VIVIAN CROW The Home Economics Department is divided into three main fields of study: clothing and textiles, foods and nutrition, and teacher training. Two of these are again divided into three major groups. The clothing and textiles course offers a clothing and design sequence which gives the student a basis for the designing and construction of clothing. The retailing of clothing sequence is designed for students who wish to prepare themselves for some aspect of merchandising, such as buyer or stylist. The program of the foods and nutrition major is approved by the American Dietetic Association. It is divided into three groups: dietetics, which prepare for hospital, restaurant, and college dietetic positions, institutional management, which gives a background for quantity food service; and prc-rcscarch, which offers postgraduate fellowships. During the summer, the department assists students between their junior and senior years to find employment in their major field of interest. This year. Home Economics students entered a design contest sponsored by a Pittsburgh department store. Three awards were given to the Tech students whose originals placed first, second, and third. The girls were Jean Smith, Gere Barontini, and Jean Zapolsky respectively. FACULTY ROW I—D. Myen, E. Elle t, P. Ruth, M. Bakkie, A. DoJioh. ROW 2—V. Crou , M. Stoner, K. Frsneil, M. Weiker t, L.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics Club is one of the largest organizations on campus and in the College Division of the American Home Economics Association. Open to students in all departments in Margaret Morrison, the club holds monthly meetings which feature programs. During the programs, guest speakers give information which is not only valuable to the Home Economics majors, but also to the other club members. Chosen topics include subjects of general interest to college women. Each year the club sponsors special projects. This year, fruitcakes made by the Home Economics students were sold at Christmas time. These fruitcakes were available for sale to the faculty and the students. The club has also sold personalized stationery as well as name tags for clothing. Several traditional functions have been carried out. Among these arc the Christmas dinner and the Senior Tea. Although one of its main functions is to supplement the students’ knowledge of home economics, the club also teaches its members the value of home economics subjects. ROW I— V. Catania, L. Cooper, W.

WINCHESTER The Secretarial Department offers three options. The regular course gives an opportunity for a number of electives outside the secretarial field, the course in teacher education prepares the student to teach secretarial subjects, and the one year course, the college graduate in seertarial studies. The college graduate course is for students who have prepared themselves for professions other than secretarial, and wish to receive the essentials in business training. Miss Edith Winchester, head of the department, is kept busy writing references for girls after graduation. Because of the reputation established by successful alumnae, graduates of the Secretarial Department arc in constant demand. The department is improving and enlarging the curriculum in accordance with the Carnegie Plan. This past year, a new course for sophomore secretarials, designed to teach the fundamentals of business practice, was added to the schedule. One room in the department has been completely equipped with new Underwood typewriters. In addition to these changes. Miss Winchester has also attempted to improve FAC U LT Y the sophomore schedule by re-arranging the courses in order to facilitate the study ROW I—E. WincboUr, A. Erlick, B.

At such gatherings, the club members become better acquainted with each other and learn to work together. During the Homecoming Open House, members of the Secretarial Club ushered visitors throughout the Secretarial Department. The girls demonstrated the business machines, explained the essentials of various techniques, and described the three secretarial options. In December, the Club entertained all the students who had just transferred this year to the Secretarial Department. The luncheon, held at Carnegie Inn, helped to introduce the transfers to the department as well as to the students in it. SECRETARIAL CLUB ROW 1 —C. Roden, M. Kaftan, E. VPr 'ir. ROW 2—G. Driscoll.

MARY CLARKE BURNETT DEPARTMENT of SOCIAL WORK The Department of Social Work headed by Mrs. Mary Burnett is divided into two schools. The undergraduate school is a four year course consisting of subjects which give a background for those desiring employment in social service. The other school is the graduate school. Here the student receives a more thorough training in actual field work and case study which ably fits her to help those who have found adjustment difficult. Social work is a relatively new occupational field. Only since the beginning of the twentieth century have colleges offered schools for the sole purpose of these studies. There arc many branches to which the student specializing in social work can enter. Some of these arc medical work, psychiatric care, nursery work, juvenile delinquency study, family ease study, settlement work, war rehabilitation, U. S. O. service, Red Cross, or high school and college clinics. Students who like people and enjoy helping others would find social work a vocation that is very satisfying. Graduate study with its actual experience is what agencies desire in their employees. FAC U LT Y ROW 1—Mn. M. ButntU. ROW 2—H. Ueytrt, P. Colhm. ROW J—C. McBnJf, E. Snetbtn, E. Meytrton. DEPARTMENT of GENERAL STUDIES Life today demands of us more than rudimentary knowledge. A firm academic foundation together with a broad liberal arts education gives us a basis for entrance into a complex society. The General Studies Department, which has developed into the largest in Margaret Morrison, offers students a new and improved series of options. Such studies as English, history, social studies, economic, mathematics, psychology, and home-making equip the student for advanced work in professional and teaching fields, and perhaps for further study toward a master’s or doctor’s degree. Whether for pure intellectual interest or as a basis for further education and research, these academic studies in theory and practice offer a well-defined but flexible education. This department provides the same knowledge as that which may be acquired in most liberal arts colleges, but gives special emphasis to those subjects which will enable the individual to find for herself the position in life which she desires.

Activities is such a common word. What docs it mean? Everyone is active in something whether it be a club or just assignments. What do activities do? They must have some purpose other than holding meetings. ACTIVITIES Few students appreciate the value of activities, of service to some organization. How much more docs the student who does nothing but attend classes and go home each night to hours of unbroken study get out of college than the student who mixes business with pleasure? The “grind” loses so much that the active” student gains. Clubs- help broaden a viewpoint, diversify interests, enlarge the social life. Participation in activities prepares the student to work with humanity that is alive and breathing. What friendship can one squeeze from an inanimate textbook? Activities arc an essential phase of college life. Those who do not take advantage of them cheat themselves. It’s always the busiest person who gets the job done—well. The Kiltie Band finished a very successful 1948-49 season with the presentation of the annual Spring Concert in April and participation in the Spring Carnival festivities of 1949. Organizing quickly upon returning to school in the fall, the Kilties performed in a lawn concert during Freshman Week and then turned their attention to marching activities. The Band followed the football squad to Wclls-burg, W. Va.; Washington, Pa., and also to Cleveland, Ohio. Homecoming of 1949 saw the Kilties entertaining a pleased group of alumni and students at the Queen’s Coronation and Carnegie Day ceremonies. On the football field the Band gave a sterling performance between halves of the Lehigh-Tech game. In November, the Kilties teamed with the Men’s Glee Club and recorded Car- negie Tech school songs. Albums containing two disks of the songs and bagpipe medleys were sold by the Band members. Rehearsals for a January concert were conducted in earnest after Christmas vacation. The Band presented a concert at Allison Park prior to performing the same program before a large audience at the Carnegie Music Hall on January 20. Under the direction of Professor William A. Schaefer, the bandsmen climaxed their program with a fine rendition of Tschaikowsky’s 1812 Overture.” On February 24-25, Carnegie Tech played host to the All-State Intercollegiate Band, under the baton of Mark H. Hindsley, director of the famous University of Illinois Band. CITCOM CLAN ROW 1— . Holland, Social Chairman; C. Mmtttr, Secretary. ROW 2—W. Writ, Treaiurer; R. Spray, V. President; H. McNutt, President. Ciccom Clan, the co-ed commuter’s organization, endeavors to provide sufficient opportunity for independent commuting students to engage in extra-curricular activities. An active social and sports schedule planned by the twelve executive board members and their faculty advisor, Mr. Palmer, is designed to suit the needs and restricted time of the commuter. The annual Freshman Mixer, first event on Citcom’s social calendar, provided an opportunity for new Tcchites to know more about the Clan’s activities. Many old acquaintances were renewed. This first success was soon followed by another— a big hay-ride at Pine Valley. At Homecoming Dorm Council and Citcom joined efforts in sponsoring the Homecoming Hop on Friday night. About Thanksgiving time the girls took over the social planning. Their Twirp Dance was very successful. The men all wore corsages of carrots, parsley, endive, and other vegetables, and the girls paid the bills, opened doors, and attended to all the little details that a good escort should. They even asked their dates to dance. This was followed by ROW 1—S. Williams, C. Meiiter, R. Graham, E. Brunn, W. Linemen, C. Schalk, D. Douglass. ROW 2—R. Sarapni, . Blind, M. titter man, N.

Loop. the semi-formal Christmas party and dance at the Carnegie Inn. Shortly before exams the Clan took over the South Park Community House for an afternoon and evening of fun at the annual Winter Picnic. As Spring Carnival approached. Clan members embarked on a program of participation which surpassed all previous efforts. It all started with the Chaser after Scotch Soda. The whole weekend flew leaving many happy memories, and many tired feet—those of the fellows and girls who worked in the Citcom booth on the cut. The Clan entered teams on all the intramural athletic events and felt satisfied that they were on their way up. The future looks even brighter. The Citcom-men a tor provided an outlet for those members possessing journalistic talent and helped keep all the members informed of the activities planned during this, another fun-packed year. R. O. T. C. COL. HAROLD A. KURSTEDT Carnegie Tech’s R. O. T. C. unit has expanded from a battalion of only 116 men in 1946 to a regiment of approximately 300 men of which 92 arc in the advanced course. The Army’s peacetime policy has attached a greater importance to the four year R. O. T. C. course. The program consists of two phases of two years each. The basic course covers the same subjects as the Army’s Basic Training, while the advanced course contains more specialized work. Students in the advanced course arc selected on a competitive basis and serve as cadet officers in the regiment. During the period of the advanced course, six weeks are spent in either the Engineer Camp at Fort Bclvoir, Virginia, or in the Signal Corps Camp at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. Here, cadets from Carnegie Tech competed with cadets from schools from Maine to Texas and Tech men made a fine record last summer. Aside from the purely academic pursuits, the Military Department sponsors and aids several extra-curricular activities. A unit of newly formed Pershing Rifles, a national basic R. O. T. C. organization, is now at Tech. Scabbard and REGIMENTAL OFFICERS Blade, the advanced R. O. T. C. honorary fraternity, has been very active, sponsoring intramural rifle matches, elections for honorary cadet officers, and the annual Military Ball which was a great success this year. In addition to regular small bore rifle firing for cadets, the department sponsors the R. O. T. C. rifle team and coaches the rifle range, which is considered one of the best indoor ranges in Western Pennsylvania. With this program, implemented by a well-trained staff and an impressive array of military equipment, the Military Department is accomplishing its primary goal of producing well-prepared Reserve Officers for the Army, and also is making a vital contribution to student life on campus.

Meeting every week, it acts in the capacity of student administrator and plans, supervises, and carries out dormitory activities. Subordinate to it arc Claymore Clan, the men’s dormitory honorary, and the Bagpiper, the dorm newspaper. The major interest of dorm council is in the sponsoring of social events. Through the dorm activities fee, council holds about one dance a month as well as one fall and one spring off-campus dance and a spring picnic. L.ast fall, in conjunction with Citcom Clan, it sponsored the first of the I lomecoming Dances. It supervises and provides for individual parties held by the several dorms and participate in such all-school functions as Spring Carnival and the King of Hearts campaign. In order to participate on a greater scale in the intramural program, dorm council has organized an athletic committee which organizes, coordinates, and sponsors dorm teams. Under an expanding dynamic program, it has had a full roster of teams in the intramural sports program. STUDENT COUNCIL J. GARB.Sc:.; R. SINCLAIR. Pm.: R. HORSCH. V. Pm. The Student Council is an organization composed of undergraduate students of the three colleges, and has jurisdiction over all student organizations and activities except those specifically trusted to one of the other governing groups. It is a representative organization which deals with affairs concerning the entire student body. Student Council has many accomplishments to be proud of this year. Included among these arc one of the most successful all-school events of many seasons—a musical show put on by a versatile group of Carnegie Tech musicians, followed by a dance. In an attempt to increase school spirit, a Class Reorganization Committee was created which undertook the job of organizing the classes. So far the Class of 1953 has submitted a constitution to Council and has elected class officers. One more activity that Council has to be proud of is the consolidation of all fund-raising campaigns on the campus. This is known as the Campus Chest, and D , . _ . _ , , ® r . . .

This group acts as the pivot around which the various women’s fraternities coordinate the planning and execution of their various activities. It acts as the policymaker for rushing rules and supervises their enforcement. It is a clearing-house for sorority problems and ideas which arc turned into progressive action. Cooperation within the council assures smooth operation of the many activities that involve sororities at CIT. Aside from maintaining a cooperative feeling among the various fraternal groups, Panhellcnic Council has certain activities and duties to perform itself. One of these is an annual closed dance to sorority women and wandering Greeks. The proceeds of this affair arc used to finance a $100 scholarship. The council also sponsors two non-rush functions a year. Their purpose is to introduce eligible non-sorority girls to the sororities on campus. Last year, the Council with the help of each sorority built a float for the Spring Carnival Parade. Not competing with the other floats, the Panhcllenic Float carried the Queen and her attendants. .

COUNCIL of FRATERNITY PRESIDENTS The Council of Fraternity Presidents, formerly Interfraternity Council, is the representative group of all Carnegie Tech fraternities, and its membership is composed of the president and a junior member from each of the twelve fraternities on campus. The council accomplished much this year under the new and more efficient re-organization. Meetings arc now held in the evening at the different fraternity houses. A new set of rushing regulations, and the issuing of rushing cards to those interested in joining a fraternity, greatly improved the operation of this year’s rushing season. Before they may pledge, rushces must now have the signature of three fraternity presidents. The council also sponsored the Homecoming Pep Rally, and a competition between the various pledge classes for a new Tech cheer. Two of the year’s outstanding social events were the CFP Formal at the Schenlcy Hotel on February 25, and the annual Greek Sing and Swing, held in cooperation with Panhellcnic Council, on March 10 and 11. A high degree of cooperation with the administration was maintained, and the strength and interest of all fraternities at Tech was again felt this year in all student activities. ROW l—W. Apple, F.

TAU BETA PI Tau Beta Pi, the National Engineering Honor Society was founded at Lehigh University in 1SS$. Its purpose is to mark in a fitting manner those who have conferred honor on their alma mater either by distinguished scholarship and exemplary character as undergraduates in engineering or by outstanding achievements as alumni in the field of engineering; and to foster a spirit of liberal culture in the engineering colleges of America. The Tech Chapter was founded in 191J which makes it one of the oldest organizations on the campus. This year fifty-five students were honored with the bent,” familiar key and symbol of the organization. The Chapter engaged in a number of useful activities in addition to honoring new members. The regular freshman tutoring program was enlarged to provide instruction throughout the year. As usual one issue of the Carnegie Technical was entirely written by members of Tau Beta Pi. This issue was printed in larger than usual quantity and copies were sent free of charge to all alumni of the chapter. The acquisition of a permanent office can be considered one of the biggest achievements of the year. ROW 1—M. Baton, F. Btcktr, G. Eiiemann, F,. Pugb, H. Renmeyer, W. Lambert, . Ilorteb. D. Shafer.

MORTAR BOARD Mortar Board, the senior women’s honorary society, is made up of thirteen girls who were chosen on the basis of high scholarship, leadership, and service. Its purpose is to foster these goals in college women, to honor those who have attained them, and to act as a service organization. This year. Eta Chapter joined the other honorarics at Tech to assist at the Dean’s Reception in September, combined its efforts with those of ODK to produce a successful Homecoming Weekend, entertained the Pitt Chapter at a get acquainted” tea, and invited the other honorarics to join in a cultural program. Mortar Board also revived the King of Hearts Ball” and held a benefit bridge, both in order to raise money for the Women’s Guild Scholarship. The Senior Ball was also part of the year’s program, as were the annual Smarty Parties in the spring. Mortar Board’s most un-publieized, yet most important contribution of the year took the form of individual research reports by the members on improvements which might be made in the courses of study here at Tech. These reports will form the basis from which the various departments will work for better student-faculty relations. ROW 1— . RicharJ, L. PrHi, N. Cain. ROW 2—H. Jacob, S. Filzmanrice, . Lauton, M.

OMICORN DELTA KAPPA Omicron Delta Kappa, National Leadership Honorary for senior men who have been outstanding in scholarship, activities, and leadership, was for many years a local organization known as the Dragon Society. In 1942 it became the Beta Delta Circle of the national organization, Omicron Delta Kappa. Tech leaders belonging to this circle include President Doherty, Dr. Miner, Dr. Jones, Mr. Blcnko, Dean Dickinson, and Dean David. The men accepted into ODK arc well acquainted with campus activities, and, as pledges, arc required to write an essay on a campus problem. These essays arc concluded with suggestions of possible solutions which frequently are put into effect. These projects contribute to the group’s knowledge of campus life—a knowledge necessary to ODK’s support and direction of lesser honorarics and organizations on campus. In addition to their annual direction of Spring Carnival, ODK co-sponsored a greatly expanded Homecoming program. During the football season, the group also undertook the planning and staging of football rallies. The University of Pittsburgh Chapter of ODK cooperated in this activity. ROW 1—7. Good ion, D.

Its members arc chosen from those students who have done superior work on publications. Every member of the fraternity is taught that Pi Delta Epsilon stands for SERVICE and every member learns that membership is not to be regarded as an honor in itself, but as an opportunity for rendering greater service. SERVICE is regarded as a sacrifice of self. Just as the undergraduate press is the guide of undergraduate opinion during the time when the student is in the most susceptible formative period of development, PiDE seeks to act as the stabilizing nucleus of student workers who guide those who serve the collegiate press. To the workers on student publications who sacrifice the lighter pleasures of college life to labor upon a worthy campus publication for the sake of the student body, the student body owes much and it is as a reward to those student workers that Pi Delta Epsilon operates. The work of Pi Delta Epsilon is educational in that it strives everywhere to teach the ethics, techniques and mechanics of journalism. The chapter considers itself the group primarily responsible for the success of the campus publications and by constructive criticism and cooperation, strives to better them. ROW I— . Connor, V.

Evaluation is based on scholarship, leadership, and participation in extra-curricular activities. The honorary seeks to promote the bonds of fellowship among the men leaders in the junior class. In the past it has been the obligation of the fraternity to sponsor the Junior Prom each year. This year, however, the project was supplemented by the sponsoring of the semi-formal dance at Homecoming. In addition, the group worked under the Spring Carnival Committee in promoting the Carnival dance. To perpetuate its growth and stabilize its position this year, the fraternity inaugurated ground work for becoming affiliated with a national activities honorary. Since the fraternity was challenged as to its met hot! of calling new members early in the year, a new and thorough revision of the policy was undertaken and put into effect this year. ROW 1—D.

Undergraduate dormitory residents arc chosen for membership solely upon the basis of their participation in other campus activities, personality, scholastic standing, and their interest in the ideals and purposes of the organization. The purposes of Claymore Clan arc to guide dormitories; to establish a closer union between the dormitory residents, the faculty, and the administration; to provide recognized outlets for the talents of the dormitory residents; and to promote the general welfare of the dormitories as a unit, and in relation to the campus as a whole. To realize these objectives, Claymore Clan has instituted and in part completed several projects such as a Freshman orientation program, the establishment of a dormitory photographic studio, and assistance to Men’s Dormitory Council in sponsoring dormitory Spring Carnival activities. Projects of greater scope, such as the establishment of a Men’s Dormitory Social Center, are also included in the program of Claymore Clan. UNDERGRADUATE ADVISORY COMMITTEE Aggressively attacking and solving scheduling, athletic, student-administration relations, alumni, and other problems which involve the welfare of the students and in general the improvement of Carnegie Tech, the Undergraduate Advisory Committee has been very active in the one year of its existence. The committee was organized on the recommendation of President Doherty in April, 1949. The purpose of the organization is to act as a student advisory committee to the President and as a student leadership committee through discussion, interchange of information, development of programs for which there seem to be no other channels, and acceptance of responsibility that such programs be carried out.

CWENS Cwcns, the national sophomore honorary for women, has devoted time and energy in fostering relations among sophomores, orientating freshmen to campus life, and acting as aides for the Dean of Women and the school. Familiar to students at Carnegie by their neat uniforms of grey and red, Cwcns, building on the accomplishments of their predecessors, have completed another successful and fruitful year at Tech. They began their work last year by receiving at the tea for seniors and continued to be on call whenever needed for receptions and teas. To orientate the new freshmen to college life, the Cwcns gave a party for the new dorm residents, and in conjunction with the Scimitars, sponsored a tea dance and enforced Freshmen Regulations. In addition to working with the decoration committee for Homecoming, Cwcns also promoted and directed the elections for Freshman Queen. By changing the method of nominating candidates for Queen, Cwcns succeeded in having a more representative section of the Freshman Class by arranging nominations according to departments. Another project, successfully completed last year, was the collection of Christmas cards for the Children’s Hospital. ROW 1— . Button. I.. Jobmon. D. Mitchell. K. Snare, S. RicbjrJ.

SCIMITARS Scimitar, the sophomore men’s honorary, is composed of those men from the Freshman Class who have been outstanding in leadership, scholarship, and activities. They arc chosen on an activities points basis with scholarship playing an important part. Its main purposes are to further these interests in the next Freshman Class and to act as a service organization. This year the Society, with the Cwcns, promoted the traditional Freshman Orientation Period. The freshmen were required to wear dinks, attend certain meetings, and pass the traditions exam. This period lasted two months and culminated during Homecoming in the freshman-sophomore push-ball” contest which ended in a tic between the two teams. Scimitar and Cwcns together sponsored and arranged a Freshman Party in October to help the freshmen get better acquainted and start them acting together as a class. The society also helped regain school spirit by such things as taking an active part in Homecoming Weekend, and sponsoring, with Cwcns, a bus to the Washington and Jefferson football game. In addition, an all-school dance was held in April. The Scimitar Society during the past year has taken an even more active interest in school affairs, and has helped to restore good school spirit to Carnegie Tech. ROW 1—E. Denburg, I.. Dyer, M.

Scabbard and Blade is a national honorary military society for cadet officers of the universities and colleges where there arc Departments of Military Science and Tactics. The Charter Company was founded in 1904 at the University of Wisconsin. The Carnegie Chapter, Company G, 6th Regiment, was founded in 1926. The purpose of the society is to raise the standards of military training in American Colleges and to unite into, closer relationships their military departments, to encourage and foster the essential qualities of good and efficient officers, and to promote good fellowship among the cadet officers. Members of the society arc chosen on the basis of proficiency in military work and fellowship. The organization sponsors numerous social gatherings during the year, the most successful being the Military Ball; also intramural rifle matches, movies, and the presentation of trophies and medals to outstanding performers in Military Science and Tactics. This year the Company was co-host for the 24th National Convention of the society. PHI KAPPA . Donirh, D. $ If wart, £. So ibtl. PHI Phi Kappa Phi is an honorary scholastic society which was founded in 1897 to encourage and reward scholarship in all fields of study. Other societies emphasize particular aspects of scholarship, but Phi Kappa Phi admits qualified students in any field. At the present time there are about fifty chapters and 49,000 members. The chapters range all the way from the University of Maine to the University of Hawaii. At Carnegie Tech, this organization invites the upper 10 per cent of the graduating class and people of the faculty and administration to become members. Each year Phi Kappa Phi recommends a candidate for a national fellowship which may be used any place in the country. This society was instrumental in setting up the Lawler-lhrig Memorial Scholarship Fund into which the organization’s money goes along with solicitations from the outside. When this fund reaches the amount of $10,000, the income from it will be available for needy students. Phi Kappa Phi sponsors lectures and social gatherings of cultural and artistic interest. There is an annual initiation and banquet in the spring, and members arc encouraged to maintain contact with their Alma Mater or with their nearest chapter. TARQUANS For the girls who want to be in the swim it’s Tarquans. Sponsored by the Women’s Athletic Association, this group, now three years old, is steadily growing. This year most of their time was devoted to learning new techniques to be used in their big water show, Swimin’ and Swayin’,” which had two performances in the middle of March. Numbers styled to fit the music combined rhythmic swimming with special effects. Jealousy,” with its tango tempo, gave the spectators a new thrill in coordinated movement. The members of the audience held their breath as did the swimmers when the girls did circular dolphins to Begin the Bcguinc.” The shadow pictures of the Hawaiian number drew forth many favorable comments. Special lighting was used for most of the numbers. Sophisticated Lady” combined modern dance with intricate swim patterns as did the finale. When the water show was over the Tarquans felt that Swimmin’ and Swayin’ ” had been well worth while for they had had fun learning and working together, and they felt that others had had fun watching as the patterns unfolded before their eyes.

Its purpose is to develop physical efficiency, to encourage an interest in athletic activities, and to promote good sportsmanship in a spirit of cooperation and fellowship. It is an organization in which all undergraduate women arc members, governed by an executive board made up of those students who have done the most to fulfill its purpose. This year WAA has inaugurated the club system here at Carnegie Tech to make their program a little more effective. Each sport organizes as a separate club and schedules its own practices and games. To coordinate each club’s activity, a representative from each club meets regularly with the executive board. These sports arc of two types. The seasonal ones include archery, hockey, volleyball, badminton, basketball. table tennis, and others. In addition, there arc two clubs organized in the fall which continue throughout the year. They arc Tarquans, the swimming club, and Dance Club. Activities in all these groups may be counted toward a WAA award of class numerals, a letter or a blazer. These awards arc made in May at the annual awards banquet. ROW 1—N. Montgomery, D. DougUss, E. El ell, E. Beum, C. Willies i, H. Htikes. ROW 2—E. Orr, B. Cohen, C. Colemen, S. Menger, A. Gelmen.

This year’s Ball of the Grande Illusion” created an atmosphere of sophistication in black and white. The couples, arrayed in extravagant costumes creating illusions about themselves, vied for the honor of reigning at the Ball as Emperor and Empress. Weeks of planning, designing and actual construction of decorations transformed the Fine Arts foyer and exhibition room into the Grande illusion.

The purpose of Alpha Phi Omega, National Service Fraternity, is to assemble college men in the fellowship of the Scout Oath and Law, to develop friendship, and to promote service to humanity.” Kappa chapter lived up to its purpose in many ways. To start the year, the “C Book was published a month earlier due to the efforts of APO. The increasingly popular Buk Xchanj was offered both semesters. Checking and refreshments were handled at all-school dances. APO continued to run Student Council elections in addition to the Class Reorganization elections. APO gave the Campus Chest a helping hand as well as seventy-five dollars. In December Student Council voted APO the responsibility of managing permanent decorations equipment. In February a geographic survey of undergraduates was made for the administration. It covered six years from 1939 to 1950 excluding the war. Aiming for a seventy-five man chapter, the fraternity pledged thirty-two men the first semester. As a pledge project they printed programs for home football and basketball games. Alpha Phi Omega was born at Lafayette College, Easton, Pennsylvania, in 1925. It mushroomed so rapidly that by its twenty-fifth anniversary, it counted some 203 chapters. Its total number of members since founding is 26,321. WOMEN'S DORM COUNCIL Women’s Dormitory Council is the governing body of Moorewood Gardens. It is made up of two voting representatives from each of the four towers, its three officers, and the non-voting members from the Freshman Class. Sessions, which include the discussion of current problems and the hearing of violations, arc held weekly in the Dorm Council room at the Gardens. Each year Dorm Council issues a small book containing its constitution and rules pertaining to dormitory life. It also makes rules and regulations for situations which arise during the year. Following any infractions of these rules, Council hears the eases and issues penalties accordingly. Each tower represents a small council headed by the tower presidents, which although powerless, serves Dorm Council by directly bringing Council policies to the girls, and the girls’ views and needs to the Council. During the school year. Dorm Council sponsors many social activities. There arc several open houses, a formal tea for the tower hostesses, and the annual skit party for the freshman women. Coke parties are also part of Dorm Council activities, and during the first week of school, Council gives an orientation party for the freshman dormitory girls. MEN'S GLEE CLUB ROW 1—D. Startzell, R.

Under the direction of Mr. William Schaefer, the Men's Glee Club can boast another successful year since its reorganization five years ago. Many of the men who have been active members in the association left with the graduating class in June, and will be missed in the future; however, they have left the club with the knowledge that their efforts will have lasting results. The bulk of this year’s Glee Club program consisted of making and selling a record album of Carnegie Tech songs. These records were completed in the early part of December and made very popular Christmas gifts for students and others. The Glee Club also added to the merry Christmas festivities by caroling on the Tech campus with the Woman's Glee Club. In the past season the Club has given a large number of concerts and also sang as a part of the Carnegie Day program. The highlight of the year’s activities was the Annual Spring Concert which was held in the Carnegie Music Hall. Considering that the men rehearsed only two afternoons a week with few special rehearsals for concerts, their full schedule meant concentrated effort on their part. This group of young men thoroughly enjoyed singing, and as a result of this concentrated work they received the full cooperation and support of both the students and members of the faculty of their Alma Mater—Carnegie Tech. The Women’s Glee Club enjoyed a full year of activities during 1949 and 1950. Their first performance was at the Chapel program preceding the Thanksgiving vacation. During the Christmas season two concerts, one at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church and the other at the Central Christian Church for the County Youth Society, were given. The Glee Club also made a fifteen minute recording of Christmas music which was transcribed later over radio station WWSW. As an annual event the Glee Club sang at the Christmas Chapel Service. To climax the Christmas events, the Men’s and Women’s Glee Clubs united to carol at Skibo, men’s and women’s dormitories, fraternity houses and President Doherty's home. To help the Kiltie Band entertain bands from other colleges in February, the Glee Club assisted by acting as hostesses at a dance the night before the combined concert. In the spring the women entertained the veterans at Deshon Hospital and ended the season with their annual formal concert. Under the able direction of Miss Carolyn B. Kennedy and its officers, Jane Lawton, manager; Jane Connor, assistant manager; Lois Hibbard, secretary-treasurer; Laura Greene, librarian; Dorothy Boarts, assistant librarian; Elynor Bruce, student-director; Harriet Weiner, accompanist, and with the cooperation of the members, the Women’s Glee Club achieved a high place among the organizations on campus. WRCT WRCT now makes its appearance since, last year, due to frequency difficulties, WCIT was forced to shut down until such time as equipment modifications could be completed. WRCT had its premiere in March of this year, broadcasting from temporary headquarters in the basement of the Union. The program, which was piped to the men’s dorms, Morewood Gardens, and to the fraternity houses, consisted of live talent, recorded music, and sports’ news. The station provides entertainment for the student body and practical experience for those who work behind the scenes. Before the on the air” signal from the engineer can be given, the program must go through the hands of the top men responsible for the success of Radio Carnegie Tech.” They are Howard Bach, station manager; Phil Mitchcl, chief engineer, Dave Steiner, business manager; Bob Mallor, Inter-Collegiate Broadcasting System Regulator; Phil Means, chief announcer; Kitty McGowan, secretary. There arc also others who gave their time and enthusiasm in constructing the studio and installing wiring. The 1910 school year at CIT has found the students tuned into a campus radio station, larger and more promising than ever before. ROW 1—AC. McGowan. ROW 2—D. Strinrr, H. Bach. ROW 3— . Stoner, P.

MMCC SENATE Although the Senate is no longer the governing body of Margaret Morrison, it remains as an organization for the perpetuation of the traditions and customs of the college. To accomplish this purpose, the Senate instituted the annual Student-Faculty Skit Party. The class winning first place in the skit contest is awarded an inscribed cup which has been passed on from the last winners. Each fall the Senate sponsors a color-day assembly and tea for freshmen women at which time the freshman class is presented with the class colors of the last graduating class. In addition to the upholding of traditions, the Senate also has sponsored and conducted class elections within Margaret Morrison in past years. Another Senate aim is to work toward creating a more favorable atmosphere in the school. By furnishing a new smoking room and a basement recreation room, the Senate has striven to expand the facilities for student relaxation. Annually the Margaret Morrison Library receives a subscription for Life magazine donated by the Senate for use in the library. The Senate concludes its activities each year with a farewell assembly for senior women. Senate membership is limited to one representative from each of the four classes and four officers. ROW 1—S.

YWCA The YMCA at Carnegie is devoted to the promotion of student welfare and the development of mature religious thought. Thus it is at once a service organization, a social organization, and a philosophical forum. The past year has been very busy as well as successful for the Y.” Service to incoming students formed the core of the early program. As a part of the traditional orientation program the YMCA sponsored the Freshman Banquet which helped acquaint more than 250 freshmen with the spirit of Carnegie. The regular religious program had two main outlets: first, the Sunday evening religious discussions; and secondly, the YMCA was the chief sponsor of the bi-monthly chapel programs. It also held Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter dinners which were open to all students and faculty. Three inspirational outings were held which gave students a few days to forget their studies and remember God. These were held in the fall, winter and spring at Luthcrlyn, Olgeby Park, and Cook’s Forest respectively. Social activities of the organization were aimed chiefly at campus groups such as foreign students whose social life otherwise would have been inadequate. The hard working cabinet has been ably advised and assisted by the faculty board of management and Mr. R. V. Davis, permanent secretary. BOW W ,°ne,‘ S■ P. Clayton, B. Broun. BOXW ?—Jf' L B. Evans, .

We began with a bang by sponsoring the Big-I.ittlc Sister movement and orientation program for freshman and transfer women. A dinner, a tea, a coke party, a party with the YMCA, and the Big-Little Sister center arc all parts of this movement. One of our other big jobs is the sponsorship of fall, winter, and spring weekends at places such as Lutherlyn, Olgeby Park, and Cook’s Forest in cooperation with the YMCA. These weekends arc really great fun. Hiking, tobaggoning, skiing, games, discussion, and horseplay—mostly horseplay—are the activities engaged in. Along with the YMCA we participate in the Sunday Evening Meetings and Chapel programs. A Spring Carnival booth was also made a success by the cooperation of the two organizations. For the first time, the YWCA organized guilds to include the freshmen in our activities. They brought interesting speakers to the campus and were successful. Also for the first time, we sponsored a Valentine’s Day Cookie Sale which was an outstanding success and will become an annual affair. It has been a very successful year for us, and we arc looking forward to next year with enthusiasm and plans. DEBATE CLUB Under the energetic direction of coaches Edward McGchcc and Orville Baker, the Carnegie Debate Team has turned in a victorious record of intercollegiate, debates for the 1949-50 season. Highlight of the season for the varsity debaters was the two-day Grand National Debate Tournament at Mary Washington College in Virginia; here, for the second straight year, the Tartans won recognition as one of the top debate teams in the country. In its third year of reorganization since the war, the Club is showing remarkable growth in its active membership. The keen interest of its members helped maintain three complete varsity teams throughout the year. Debating the national collegiate topics enabled these teams to debate local colleges as well as colleges from all over the country. The Club sent teams to the tournaments at Brooklyn College in New York, Geneva, Washington and Jefferson, and Pennsylvania State College, as well as to the Mount Mercy Cup Tournament and the annual Tournament of Pennsylvania Colleges. The Debate Club acts as the nucleus for all extra-curricular speech work, giving opportunities to people interested in extemporaneous, dramatic, oratorical and other forms of speaking. ROW I—P.

ALUMNI All graduates of Carnegie Institute of Technology and former students who have attended at least one semester of day school or its equivalent arc automatically members of the Alumni Federation. The alumni organization at Carnegie has no dues. The school provides a budget for its activities each year. The management of the alumni work, however, is entirely vested in the officers of the Federation, who arc elected each year by the Alumni Council. This council is composed of delegates from the local alumni clubs, known as Clans, organized in twenty-five or more cities throughout the country. During the past year, Mr. C. R. Dobson, Vice-President of H. K. Porter Company, Inc., was president of the Alumni Federation. He graduated from the Commercial Engineering Department in 1920. One of the most important projects of the Alumni Federation is the Alumni Fund which handles contributions to the various scholarship funds. Included in these is the Steffen Fund which gives scholarships to scholastically worthy and athletically able students. It is the hope of the Federation that all alumni will become interested in the Alumni Fund and contribute in accord with their means. JOHN L. ELLIOTT, Executiie Secretary of Alumni Allocution My junior year it was a shame—we didn’t win a football game.” This song evidently belongs to prc-’48 days. Since then Tech has progressed in sports producing more wins than losses in football in ATHLETICS 1949. This phenomenon was not apparent merely in varsity football but was reflected in other sports. In basketball, the team began with a winning streak, trounced Pitt twice, had a few heartbreakers, but finished the season with more wins than losses. The swimming team again came through with an admirable record even though several of its stars had been lost by graduation last June. The soccer team however was not as victorious ending the season on the losing end. All of their losses were hard-fought and the team showed typical Tartan fighting spirit in every game. In every varsity sport new interest was shown by the student body. This was a very good sign proving that sports cannot be dc-cmphasizcd in a technical school. The football rallies, large attendance at home games, and the pride that goes with a winning team, each added to the new vitality at dear old Tech.” If 195 0 is anything like ’49, every student will be fighting for the glory of Carnegie down to the last bone in his body. ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT CLARENCE OVEREND. Director i The Department of Athletics consists of two main bodies, the Department of Intramural Athletics and the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, under the capable supervision of Clarence Buddy” Overend, embraces a sports program which compares favorably with that of any engineering school in the country. Nine Varsity teams represent Carnegie Tech in football, basketball, track, cross-country, soccer, swimming, tennis, golf, and rifle competition. Through the work of a fine staff of coaches, including Dr. Eddie Baker, head football coach, Mel” Cratslcy, head basketball coach, and Guy Halfcrty, head track coach, athletics at Tech have reached their greatest peak since the pre de-emphasis” days. The Department of Intramural Athletics has, in the past few years, become a very important part of Tech’s campus life. A program of eighteen sports, ranging from wrestling to archery, are made available for student competition. The program is under the supervision of David A. See. The prime incentive for competing teams is the All-Points Trophy, awarded annually since 1940 to the team accumulating the greatest number of points in intramural competition. The chief function of the intramural athletic program is to provide every student with the opportunity to participate in one or more sports of his choosing. The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics together with the Department of Intramural Athletics provide fertile fields for the cultivation of sportsmanship, discipline, and physical well being, all so essential to a well rounded college education. Membership in the Varsity C-Club is limited to athletes who have won their C” for participation in varsity athletics. Its main purposes are: first, to promote athletic participation; second, to improve athletic facilities on campus; and third, to act as a mediator between the administration and the students engaged in athletics. In the past years interest in the club has not kept pace with its aims. However, this year the ofticcrs of the C-Club have given their organization a shot in the arm. The. Varsity C-Club all school dance held in the gym last October featuring Brad Hunt’s Band was the first financially successful dance sponsored by the club. Socially, it was considered one of the top dances during the first semester. On the day of the Grove City football game, the club sponsored a Dad’s Day for the fathers of all the players. The dads ate lunch right along side of their boys in Skibo and were then provided with reserved seats at Forbes Field to watch their sons in action. The refreshment stand at all the home basketball games was another project of the club. The biggest problem which confronted the club in recent years has been to get the Icttcrmcn out to the meetings. This year however, the club solved this problem somewhat by showing sports movies at the meetings. It is hoped that in the future the momentum created by this year’s Varsity C-Club will continue to increase until it is one of the top organizations on campus. VARSITY C CLUB VARSITY C CLUB MEMBERS FOOTBALL When the Skibo eleven downed a favored Grove City team in the fall of ’49 to mark up their first victory in eight years, people began to wonder if Tech was headed for the position it once held in gridiron circles. After another season of football, it is more obvious than ever that Carnegie Tech is determined to continue on its upward climb. In their pre-season predictions, sports writers thought Tech would be lucky to win two games.

For the first time since before the war, the coaching staff of the opposing teams prepared their charges for Tech with great uncertainty. Those who say the Skibos trounce a favored Bethany College squad 41-6 will understand why opposing coaches were so concerned. Nick Simcic christened the ’49 grid year with a 62 yard touchdown run in the first play of the game. During the remaining part of the hot afternoon Tech scored almost at will. The Tartans in their first home appearance of the season had to fight all the way to beat a stubborn St. Francis eleven 28-19. The weather at Forbes Field was more appropriate for baseball than pigskin and kept Coach Eddie Baker busy making frequent substitutions to minimize the additional fatigue caused by the hot sun. ■■■ After journeying to Lancaster, the Skibos jumped to a 14-0 half-time lead over a tough Franklin and Marshall aggregation. However, F M came back with plenty of drive to tally twice in the second half and even the count 14-14. An attempted field goal by Wes Kenney in the closing minutes failed to break the deadlock. At Cleveland, Case dealt the Tartans their first defeat of the season. They held the Skibos scoreless while their backs ran for 6 touchdowns leaving Tech on the short end of a 3S-0 score. The boys from Carnegie bounced back into the winning column by spoiling W J’s homecoming weekend with a 39-16 victory. Coach Eddie Baker cleared the bench in an attempt to make a game of it. An interesting sidelight of this game was the fact that each of Tech’s 6 touchdowns was scored by a different man. A spirited, but over-powered Marietta team next felt the charge of the Tartan line and succumbed. The men from Ohio fought hard, but could not stop a determined Plaid team. All of the Tech boys saw action in this fray. November 12 was Homecoming Day at Carnegie Tech; and although Lehigh won the game, Tech students and alumni were very proud of the fighting spirit displayed by the Plaid. Lehigh handed the Tartans their second defeat, 48-20. The closing game with Grove City was a reversal of the meeting between the two teams last year. The Grovers came from behind to overcome a halftime handicap of 12 points and nosed out the Skibos 15-12, a tough one to lose. Thus the Carnegie Tech football squad ended a very successful season with a record of 4 wins, one tie, and 3 loses. Although the team didn’t win all the games, it did make it possible for victory rallies to be held once again on the cut. It can’t be said that ’49’s team was equal to the great Tech teams of old, but for the first time in many years, it ended Carnegie’s football year with a better than 500 average. It took a lot of hard work on the part of the coaching staff and players to make the season the success that it was, and they along with the managers and trainer have the right to know that the student body is truly grateful to them for putting Tech back on the football map. Walt Willoughby, Trainer Those students who have been around Tech for a few years must have noticed the big improvement in school spirit displayed by the student body during the past academic year. If there is any one organization on campus which can be credited with reviving this dormant enthusiasm it must surely be the cheerleaders. It was this energetic group that not only lead the cheers at football and basketball games but also planned and executed all pre-game rallies. Although their hard work did not always receive the full cooperation of the students, these occasions were far rarer than in recent years. The squad includes Bud Pellegrini, captain, Marge Powell, Carol Roden, Tcddic Roofner, Shirley Cunningham, Delores Walker, Suz.ie Straits, Bud Donahue, Rudy Massa, Ron Arnold and Corky Strohm. Of the entire group only Rudy Massa is in this year’s graduating class. Numeral sweaters for two year’s service were presented this spring to Tcddic Roofner, Shirley Cunningham, Delores Walker and Bud Donahue. Last spring Marge Powell, Carol Roden and Lynn Gaschc received their numeral sweaters. It has been the custom through the years to award C sweaters to the head cheerleader and his first assistant. Bud Pellegrini and Rudy Massa were the recipients this year. ROW I—B. Pellegrini, D. Walker, T. Roofner, C. RoJen, Af. Pouell, S. Cunningham, R. Malta. ROW 2—C. Strohm, S. Strai i, J. Donahue.

Mel Cntslcy, Coach This past year, Carnegie Tech had without a doubt its most exciting basketball season of the decade as Mel Cratslcy in his debut as head coach produced the first winnig Skibo team since 1938. In the Tartans' first trial of the season, they racked up an unprecedented 79 points against Steubenville to break two Tech records, the total points for one game, and the total field goals for one game. At Detroit the underdog Plaid basketeers overcame a half time lead of 35-29 and upset favored Lawrence Tech 66-5 3. After taking number three from St. Vincent’s in the Skibo gym, the Tartans journeyed to Wayncsburg where the Yellow Jackets dealt them their first defeat by virtue of a skimpy 3 point margin. The decisive win over Bethany which followed, added to the glitter of the record already compiled. The Carnegie boys were riding high. But not for long! Westminster and Iowa City, in that order, handed them two of their worst strappings of the season. Things were looking mighty dim for the Plaid when they emerged from their slump and embarked on their most impressive spree of the year. Grove City, Pitt, Penn State and Geneva fell prey to the Tartans as they flashed their brilliant early season form. The clash with highly rated Penn State was one of the most thrilling games of the year. The capacity crowd of spectators kept to their feet throughout most of the game as they watched a dazzling display of fine basketball bring the Tech hoop-sters from behind to upset the greatly favored Lions. Following this magnifiicent string of victories, the Plaid quintet dropped back into a slump as Wash-Jeff and Obcrlin made easy victims of them. Case Tech also came out on top in their battle with the Skibos, but only by the barest margin. By dumping Allegheny 61-40, Cratslcy’s charges regained some of their early season prestige and increased it still more by their excellent showing against nationally rated Duquesnc. BASKETBALL In the home stretch. Tech walloped Thiel and then received their second lacing of the season from a smooth W J outfit. With successive victories over Pitt, Indiana State, and Grove City under their belts, the Skibo courtmen traveled to New Wilmington for their final contest determined to defeat the Westminster bas-kctcers on their home court. And this they almost did! Jumping off to a 15 point lead in the first quarter the Tartans played spectacular ball sinking a high percentage of their shots, but the towering Titans fought their way back into the game and went to the showers the victors. Senior guard. Jack Rhicl, who was Tech's high scorer, provided the team with lots of spark and drive throughout the year. It was always a thrill to watch his dazzling performances both in handling the ball and in pouring it through the hoop. Big Mike Theodore, who was the Tartan high scorer during the two preceding seasons con- tributcd greatly in controlling the boards and in coming through with field goals when they were needed most. Other seniors we can’t overlook arc Joe Matscy, an excellent shot; Chuck Clinton, a real scrapper; and Tasso” Katsclis, a fine all-around courtman. Next year's opponents arc undoubtedly very happy to see these boys graduate. Beck, Bianchi, Holstein, McCullough, and freshman Crage all saw plenty of action and proved invaluable in bringing Tech its first winning season in the last twelve years. These men in addition to Hamman and O’Neil, both fine players, will constitute the bulwark of next year’s team. May they meet with even more success than this year’s great team. Our hats off to Mel Cratslcy and his boys.

The Skibo Soccer varsity brilliantly opened the season by upsetting the favored Frostburg (Md.) Teachers College team 1-0. The lone goal was scored by Kanncc in the final period. After dropping home contests to Slippery Rock and Obcrlin, the Tartan booters journeyed to Greenville and downed Thiel J-2. On a cold dreary day in New Wilmington, C.I.T. lost a real heart breaker. The Tartans and Westminster Titans battled ferociously in the snow and mud but neither was able to score during the regulation time. It looked as though the overtime period would also end in a scoreless tic, but with only twenty seconds remaining, the Titans booted the winning goal. The following Tuesday at Allegheny, the Plaid trailed 2-0 with but ten minutes remaining in the final period. Coach Pat O’Conner switched Bill I)c Vos and Jack Burrey, both defensive backfield men, to the forward line. This bit of strategy produced amazing results. Ray Jenkins booted one for Tech’s first score, and Burrey quickly followed with another for the tieing goal. Jenkins scored the final and winning goal just three minutes after he had scored his first one. This short scoring spree was all Tech needed to clinch the victory. The final contest with Grove City was the Tartan’s first win on their home field and evened up the season’s record at four wins and four losses. The totals for the year showed that Jenkins was the high scorer with four goals. He was followed by Burrey and Vaux with two apiece and by Lipp, I.ara, and Kannec with one apiece. Jack Burrey was elected to succeed Bill DeVos as the 1950-195 1 season captain. Those lettermen who will not return next year arc DeVos, Cotter, Clinton, and Brown. SOCCER RECORD CIT OPP.

TRACK Coach Guy Halferty’s trackmen, though weak in field events, proved to be strong runners by hanging up a record of three wins and three losses in dual-meet competition. The mile relay record set by last year's team was shattered by a quartet composed of Casslcr, Price, Dacics, and Dorman with a time of three minutes and 52.5 seconds. It is interesting to note that during the season, neither a Tartan nor an opponent ran the century in less than 10.1 seconds. At Cleveland under the downpour of a heavy rain, the Skibo outfit was swamped by a powerful Case team to the tunc of 90-50. In the clash with Grove City the Tartans won 7 out of 10 running events with both Casslcr and Hammann turning in double victories. However, the Grovers’ heavy scoring in the field enabled them to edge out the Plaid 69-62. In the next meet Tech won 7 of 9 running events, and 5 of 6 field events to outclass the Geneva boys. Sprinter Ernie Casslcr and hurdler Connie Hammann repeated their double wins, while Roger Wicwal ran the 120 yard low hurdles in 15.4 seconds for the best time in the event since prewar athletics. By gaining their first win of the season over Geneva the Skibo thinclads paved the way for successive victories over Allegheny and Bethany. Against Allegheny Casslcr easily repeated his dual triumph in the 100 and 220 yard dashes for the third straight time. Tech showed plenty of speed in this meeting by copping first place in all of the individual running events. When the Carnegie lads faced a strong Bethany gang they copped seven firsts and tied for another to edge out the out-of-state aggregation by four points. The Tartans ended the season by bowing to an undefeated Westminster team 75-15. The speedy Titans won 8 of 14 events and scored in all of them. Westminster's Art Jones and Tech's Ernie Casslcr were expected to run in near record time, but both turned in average performances. Jones won the 100-yard dash in 10.2 seconds, but Casslcr came back to win the 220 in 22.5 seconds. E. Dtfburg, W. Dcjh. R. Jobmon, W. Curlii. After eliminations last spring, the Tartan golf team was comprised of Johnson, Curtis, Sill, Dinburg, Meyers, Dean, Bouske, Schobcr, and Dander. The Plaid golfers opened their season against a tough Duquesne club at the Pittsburgh Field Club on April 29. The weather was excellent, and the course was in its usual trim condition. However, a good course and a fine day were not quite enough as the Duquesne golfers went home on the top end of a 9 2 to 8 g score. On May 2, the Tech golfers met the Grove City team and were defeated for the second time on their home course at the Pittsburgh Field Club by a score of IOJ j to 7 g. The team journeyed on May 6 to the Green.County Golf Course where they met the Wayncsburg six. Although the condition of the course was poor, the Skibo men came through with their first win of the season, 6 to 3. Back at Tech’s home course for the next match the Tartans battled the Titans from Westminster to a 9-9 tic. However, against the Thiel golfers the Plaid showed plenty of form when they walloped the Greenville boys 1J g to 2 1 for their second win of the season. The Carnegie six traveled to Grove City for a return match, but failed to overtake the Grovers for the second time, dropping the match 17-1. By beating Geneva on the home course the Plaid golfers ended the season and brought up their percentage to a perfect S00. GOLF ROW I—F. Mout, Coach; D. Gian, . Cronan, B. Ranett, C. Bohn. ROW 2—R. Larimer, A. Moon, D. Shoemaker, . Becker. TENNIS Tech’s initial hopes for a successful season were soon frustrated when John Monstream, veteran player, was declared ineligible after the Tartan netters chalked up two wins over Geneva and Thiel. The loss of Monstream was especially felt in the close matches which Tech lost to Grove City and Bethany by the same score of f-4. However, the Plaid boys played excellent tennis despite their handicap and finished the season with three wins, five losses and one tie. The fighting spirit of the Skibo nctmen was especially evident in the Grove City match. With the Grovers leading J-0 the Tech team rallied with victories by Basset, Cronin, Becker, and Moon with Shoemaker, putting the Tartans out in front. However, Grove City bounced back and won the last two doubles and the match. Other close contests were fought with Thiel and Bethany. The Thiel aggregation invaded the Tartan Courts, but were edged out by a $-4 score when Tech’s doubles combinations took two out of three matches. In the game with Bethany, the Plaid found themselves on the short end of a J-4 score when the West Virginians gained the margin of victory in the first doubles match. INTRAMURAL SPORTS PROGRAM ROW I— . FritJ, F. Motler, . Zjfuto. A. Jdimte, R. Fijutik. ROW 2—1. Bithofi, E. W. Dorn. . Collint. O. Coined. The past two semesters at Tech gave what yis probably one of the strongest competitive seasons in many years in the intramural sports program. This strong competition coupled with an increase in the variety.of sports offered and in the number of teams entered helped to make a very successful year in intramural athletics. Successful because it came closer to fulfilling the aim of the Intramural Athletics Program which, according to Mr. David A. See. Supervisor of Intramural Athletics, is to provide each student with the opportunity to participate in some kind of sport, regardless of whether it is individual or a team sport. By participating in intramural sports, the student not only gains physically but also learns new skills and develops a feeling of belonging to a group by cooperating with others in teamwork. In this way the student learns first hand the essence of success. Everyone at Tech hopes that in the years ahead participation in intramural athletics will continue to grow and succeed as it has in the past few years. DU FOOTBALL This year’s intramural grid title was won by a defensively strong A.S.C.E team. The civil engineers who came out on top in a hard Fighting American League went on to roll up a 24-7 victory over Phi Kappa, leaders in the National League, in the first playoff game for the school championship. In the next playoff A.S.C.E. copped the title by defeating the winners of the Federal League, a stubborn Alpha Tau Omega, by the score of 3 1 -24. In the third match the Phi Kappas took a 6-0 first quarter lead over Alpha Tau Omega and were never headed, winning 27-18. Against the Phi Kappas, A.S.C.F.. threw up a strong defense to foil the ever threatening passes of Jack Collins and succeed in holding them to one touchdown throughout the fray. In the second playoff game, A.T.O. matched A.S.C.E. point for point through the first two periods and at the half the score was tied 18-18. The third quarter found the A.T.O.’s offense held in check while the A.S.C.E. team gathered seven big points. The civil engineers hung on to the lead for the remaining period and walked off the field winners of the Carnegie Tech intramural football championship. BASKETBALL Shortly after Christmas vacation ended, thirty-five groups entered into competition for the intramural basketball championship. By midseason the original number of entries had been weeded out leaving the Architects, Sigma Nus, Dorm Dukes, Emanon, Betas, and Kappa Sigs as the most probable candidates for the playoffs. This group was further whittled down with the Architects, Emanon, and Betas fighting it out for the championship. In the round robin playoffs, the Architects squeezed by the Betas with a two point margin and went on to crush all in their path to the finals. The championship game between the Architects and Emanon was a tight sec-saw battle until the last quarter when Emanon rallied to come out on the heavy side of a 43-36 score. Among the outstanding scorers of the season were Jack Collins of the Phi Kaps, Jim Vaux of the Betas, and Marty Chetlin of the Architects. Absent from the record list of contenders this year were the TNT's, the indepedent group which was so powerful in last year's major intramural sports. TABLE TENNIS Intramural tabic tennis competition came to a close with Pi Kappa Alpha downing the powerful Dorm Dukes in a thrilling 3 2 finale to take the all-school championship. Each of the teams boasted undefeated records and identical 3-1 victories over the Tau Delta Phi finalists in the round robin tourney. Both teams were out to protect the records at stake, and the match was even closer than the score indicates. In the first set Allen of the Dukes downed PiKA’s Mike Costa in three straight games to put the Dukes in front. The next match saw former school champ, Dick Di Prima, go down before Dukes’ Martin Geller 5-2 after taking the first two games. With two games already won and only one more win needed, the dorm men prepared to walk off with the title. However PiKA's Tom Fidance set down Milton Dejean in three straight games to break the match wide open again. Dick Bailey sent Dick Emmer down in a close 3-2 set to force the match into the double. VOLLEYBALL Late in November, even before touch football had gone into seclusion for the remainder of the year, volleyball made its appearance on the intramural roster. In less than a month the Dorm Dukes, Theta Xi’s, and Delts had hurtled all opponents in their respective leagues. In the playoffs that followed the Dorm Dukes emerged victorious having defeated the T X’s and subsequently the Delts. The Delts squelched any further hopes of the T X’s as they copped second place. The points won by this championship helped the Dorm Dukes into a threatening position for the coveted All Points Trophy, given for the last time this year. Admirable showing was set forth by the PiKA’s and Emanon as they finished the season with but a single loss separating them from first place in their leagues. What is a feature? Something new? Something bright? Something different? Take your pick, for a feature can be most anything. If you arc looking for originality, a queen campaign should satisfy ATURES your desire. If you arc looking for sparkle, an all-school dance should provide the glitter. If you are looking for a change, a building program should stir your curiosity. Strangely enough, a Tech student docs not have to leave his own campus to find the new, the bright, the different. Female beauty can be found right in Skibo. Glitter revolves with every step when the gym is gaily decorated. Even a Maggie Murph can appreciate the fascination of a building slowly rising from nothing. These are specific features and paltry in number to the whirl of activities that goes on every day. We don’t want to spoil old memories for you. We only invite you to leaf through the following pages and relive Spring Carnival, Homecoming, King of Hearts, and other events that may have a very special place in your heart. SPRING CARNIVAL Amidst the raucous sounds of the midway, melodious strains of name bands on starry evenings, heart-stopping buggy races, and breath-taking float designs, Carnegie students found themselves enjoying Tech's annual Spring Carnival. It most certainly fulfilled all dreams that Carnival this year would be the biggest yet.” With the opening of the Midway on Thursday, May 12, the fun began. Sunny skies offered an anxious student body their choice of twenty-four games of chance and skill on the midway from Ducking-a-Beta to playing miniature golf. In addition one could ride the ferris wheel, Merry-go-round, Octopus, or Loop-o-Planc for diversion. The fun-packed holiday was paced by the Coronation of Gloria Bergman as Carnival Queen. Nineteen Tech lovelies had originally competed for the coveted title of queen and only seven survived an all-school election that also selected six court maidens. The honors were conferred in the Sylvan Theatre early in the afternoon, after Cy,” the pet of the Tau Dclt’s, provided impromptu entertainment for the hundreds that had gathered for the occasion. The Circus” theme of the Carnival was at a zenith when the gala float procession commenced. Bystanders’ eyes were dazzled with the spectacle of the passing parade. Complete with band, caged animals and elephants, the Sigma Nu’s placed first in the competition for prizes, but Delta Upsilons were not to be denied as they pulled up in second place with their great-headed, eye-rolling lion. Nor was the wonderful Carousel of the Delts under-rated, for their efforts were rewarded with an honorable mention award. Hearts throbbed as the daylight faded and celebrants anticipated the long-awaited Starlight Hop. This was the first street dance since the war. Informal dress was in order and dungarees the rule. Under multi-colored lights and the flowing melodics of Benny Bcnack and his orchestra, happy couples embraced and the dance began. The air was alive with friendly laughter and amicable exchanges. Overflowing from the nearby midway came faint noises of joyous merry-making. Happy two-somes strolled along glittering sidewalks between the gaudy amusements and the romantic dance area. By far the most exciting events of the Carnival were the push-mobile races. From the time that the backyards and workshops first resounded with hammers and saws, the feeling had been that, this year, race records would drop by the wayside. And so they did. The feverish pitch of Delta Tau Delta’s preparations resulted in a new course time record of two minutes and five and one-half seconds—five seconds off the record of the years before. Edged out by only one second were the hard driving athletes of Pi Kappa Alpha. Honorable mention went to the unfortunate, though highly touted. Kappa Sigma’s who suffered a mishap halfway around the course. Design awards were won by the sleek aluminum auto of the Sigma Alpha Epsilons with an honorable mention going to Pi Kappa Alpha. Probably the most difficult of Carnival activities to get to sec was the Varsity Varieties. Due to the limited capaciy of the Carnegie Theatre hundreds of would-be observers were forced to stand in aisles and foyers for glimpses of the all-women’s event. In its second year, this undertaking was once again tremendously successful. Kappa Alpha Theta’s satirical version of Molecule Man called Colecule Man, with its hilarious comedy and unpracticed ad lib was awarded the winning trophy. Second place was won by a skit, portraying a college girl’s problems in joining a sorority, called Amy White and the Seven Sororities which was presented by Chi Omega. Alpha Epsilon Phi’s So You Don’t Like It provided zany and exhilarating comedy to gain honorable mention recognition. Climaxing the weekend extravaganza was Woody Herman’s renowned band which played to thousands of exhausted but contented Carnival-goers. This formal event, always the highlight of past celebrations, combined a setting of romantic dancing with the congenial circus atmosphere. The sweet music, the couples intimately dancing and speaking of times past and present, lent an atmosphere of deep nostalgia. Thus ended the most memorable weekend of the year—in parting and goodnight kisses. mm SCOTCH V SODA Talbot Peirton, Director MOLECULE MAN S VS BOARD ROW I —D. ScbtU, . Button, D. Cenlor, f. Jen-nmgi.

Scotch V Soda was on the manhunt of the century when it came to the stage of the Carnegie Music Hall in May of ’49 with their seventh annual production, Molecule Man.” Satirizing everything from the comic book to politics, from Hollywood to science, they made the hunt for the living embodiment of Molecule Man” into one of the most extravagant of them all. The book came from co-authors Bill Putch and Dick Riebling; the music and lyrics from Gene Mulligan. Over ISO undergraduates rehearsed for weeks under the direction of Professor Talbot Pearson, and when all was over, when the last audience left the Music Hall that Thursday night, the cast and crew knew they had earned a solid hunk of college life to add to their store of memories for years to come. HOMECOMING Ic was a great Homecoming for ’49. Welcome Home Grads” the billboards and posters read and so they came. The largest crowd of alumni in the past ten years swarmed back to the dear old college halls” to witness a full and swift parade of events on Friday and Saturday. November 11 and 12. No program ever received more perfect planning or execution than Homecoming 49. Committee chairman, Richard Shaffer, ODK, Mortar Board, Delta Skull, Men’s and Women’s Dorm Councils, Citcom Clan, Cwcns, and Scimitars combined their efforts to fulfill every fancy, whim, and need the week-end demanded. Even the weatherman cooperated by supplying two days of balmy Indian Summer. Activities opened Friday morning with a new and different Carnegie Day program in the gymnasium. A capacity crowd thrilled to a swift colorful program planned and executed entirely by the students under the direction of Charles Kocster. Masterful ceremonial work was done by Wes Kenney and Colette Crawford. The Kiltie Band and Men’s Glee Club entertained the crowd before five honorarics called new members to their ranks and scholarship awards were nude. Climaxing the program was the coronation of the Homecoming Queen, Miss Julie Conscntino. Nine freshman women had vied for the title she copped. Her two nearest competitors. Miss Nancy Yaffce and Miss Lindy Hill, composed the regal court. Drs. Doherty and Warner shared the coronation honors. The queen ended the program by setting loose a barrage of balloons over the audience—setting a gay bouyant mood which was to prevail throughout the week-end. Ever)1 department in the colleges threw open its doors with open s houses to the alumni on Friday afternoon. Many changes had been made since they had graduated—some not too noticeable, others as obvious as the steel columns in front of Engineering Hall. After visiting classrooms and laboratories, the alumni gathered at Carnegie Union for a Reception and Tea sponsored by the Pittsburgh Women’s Clan. Amid glowing torches and strains of Dear Old Tech” students and alumni gathered on the cut that evening for a pep rally. The traditional Lehigh dummy fell victim to the flames of the bonfires. Every fraternity pledge class competed in presenting an original cheer to the crowd. The judges decided that a novel Scottic” cheer by the Sigma Nu’s was best. After the rally Citcom Clan and Men’s Dorm Councils sponsored an informal dance in Thistle Hall. While a capacity crowd danced to Jack Purcell’s orchestra, the fraternities held open houses. A steady stream of jovial people poured in and out of fraternity doorways. Welcome mats were trampled to shreads as permanent paths were worn from one house to the other. The gaiety within the houses was absorbed by their walls and reflected in brightly lighted decorations on the outside. Quick glimpses at all were enough to make everybody recognize that the edge of competition had once again been filed very sharp. Lehigh was victimized in wide symbolic fashion. The Sigma Xu’s and Phi Kaps had them railroaded, the ATO’s pryed and blasted them with bridge wreckers. While Kappa Sigma and Theta Xi used gridiron themes the PiKA’s sent Lehigh to the guillotine. The Beta Sigs and Tau Delts were equally merciless. The SAE’s washed ’em out and hung them on a line while their neighbors the Delts recorded an unhappy fate for our Homecoming opponents. The Beta’s cooked Lehigh into a stew and the DU’s transformed them into a goose, vicariously carved by the Drs. Doherty, Warner and Coach Baker. An almost forgotten tradition was renewed for the second year in a Frosh-Soph push-ball contest on the cut Saturday morning. Both freshman and sophomore teams battled lustily to a 2-2 deadlock with more than minor injuries being suffered by both teams. The annual Homecoming Luncheon in Skibo followed the competitions. Every seat in the Old Beanery was filled. Unfortunately many alumni had to be turned away. Highlighting the luncheon was the presentation and unveiling of the Malcom Parccll, A’17. portrait of Dr. Arthur A. Hamcrschlag, the first president of CIT. Inevitably we lost the football game to Lehigh Saturday afternoon. However, the crowd of 8,000 students and alumni had not gathered to watch the inevitable. They hoped for an upset but were satisfied with a hard fought defeat. Had an upset materialized, the celebration would have been one for Pitt to remember. When the best team we’ve had in ten years bows to a worthy opponent there is no warrant for remarks. Delta Skull wrapped up a neat farewell gift for the weekenders in the form of a semi-formal dance Saturday night. Ray McKinley’s orchestra gently soothed the memories that were being made with his Long Way From St. Louis” and modernized version of Down the Road Apiece.” At intermission time the Homecoming Queen announced that Sigma Nu was awarded first prize for fraternity house decorations. When the dance was over a weary but happy crowd went back to fraternity breakfasts, then home and so to bed. Happy memories of a week-end had been made and filed away under Magnificent Affair— Homecoming ’49.” KING OF HEARTS Snow, sleet, and rain were not enough to keep candidates from enthusiastic and publicity seeking campaigning for the coveted title King of Hearts.” Skibo was a scene of active campaigning with fraternity and dorm groups’ stunts. Pete Accorti. Kappa Sig, kissed the girls and made wild bells ring on his kiss-o-meter, while Jack Collins, King of the Cowboys, signed autographs and gave free rides to students on his troup of wildwest horses. Dressed as Roman citizens, the DU’s paraded through the building, hailing gold-painted Marius” Edema. SAE Tom Ferguson scooted around lunch tables on a tricycle, and Kissie Sommers reigned at the far end of Skibo on a brilliantly colored throne. Wes Kenney, the dorm candidate, lived atop the Margaret Morrison cupola for a day and a half, displaying the large, red-lettered sign, King or Bust.

CLASS OF '53 This year, at the recommendation of Dean Dickinson, and through the efforts of the Class Reorganization Committee of Student Council, the entering freshmen, Class of ’5 5, were organized. Previously, all CIT classes were organized, but during the war and directly afterward, only MMCC continued to elect class officers. Freshmen from the three schools. Engineering Science, Fine Arts, and Margaret Morrison arc united under one president, a secretary, and a treasurer. There arc three vice-presidents, who serve as unofficial presidents of the schools they represent. Each vice-president has a board of advisors consisting of representatives from each department in his school. In September, the Freshmen were told of the plan for organization at a huge rally in the gym. The Kiltie Band added rally atmosphere while M. C. Starke Drischell broke the ice and then let the crowd in on the organization procedure. Actually, the disorganized Freshman Class became the organized Class of ’$3 at that rally. As the Joe’s and Jane’s raced from the gym, they were cheering and carrying huge posters which had bedecked the scene of the rally. Officially, the disorganized Freshman Class became the organized Class of ’53 when its officers were elected. Prccccding the election, candidates campaigned by way of posters throughout the campus. Immediately following the election, the new officers met with the Class Reorganization Committee to clarify various duties and receive a blanket constitution to adopt for the Class’s use. One of the duties accepted by the new officers was that of enforcing Freshmen Regulations. After the elections, the Class of ’33 assumed the responsibility of having each member of the class take and successfully pass the traditions exam. CARNEGIE UNION The City of Pittsburgh and the Carnegie Union have one thing in common—a traffic problem. The Union, called an ivy-covered thoroughfare,” entertained some 27,500 last year. Thai's the figure Mrs. Rosalie Hagins, the Union’s cheerful hostess, estimates passed through the Union’s front door. If anything, she claims the estimate is a conservative one. This year’s total will certainly be larger, for in addition to the usual number of teas, smokers, parties, dinners, breakfasts and meetings (hundreds of these are held each year) the Union was used for ’dating’. Construction and remodeling work being done on Morewood Garden’s first floor made this innovation necessary. So, dating hours were sandwiched between the usual affairs. This meant that from 9:00 a. m. until midnight, the Union was open for traffic. It is also used as an Alumni headquarters during Homecoming and Spring Carnival. It houses student publication offices, Tartan, Thistle, Technical, Scot, Cano, Bagpiper; as well as Mr. Davis’ Y.M.C.A. office. The two engineering students who live there as part-time janitors seclude themselves on Wednesday of each week, when all seven sororities meet—at the same time. The rambling, twenty-six room house was bought in 1937 from a Pittsburgh steel family named Schiller. The house and several adjacent lots were purchased for $75,000. The building itself sold for the astounding price of $15,000. CYCLOTRON After the development of the atomic bomb in 1945, scientists began to investigate more eagerly the power and mystery of the atom. For the peacetime benefits of man, research departments began to probe tar the secrets of the atom's construction. The 1,500 ton synchro-cyclotron, built by Carnegie Institute of Technology, is a tool with which physicists experiment on the nucleus of the atom. On March 1 -- 1 94SJ rmm� 4 � n timlrrn nn-thr tirtv-vff it� ‘ in Saxonburg, Pa., for the Nuclear Research Center laboratories; here the synchro-cyclotron is located. Built under the supervision of a Carnegie Institute of Tcchonlogy staff, headed by Dr. Edward C. Creutz, Professor of Physics, the synchro-cyclotron was developed through the expenditure of time, more than a million dollars, and the interest of many persons. ----1 The Buhl Foundation gave the project a $300,000 grant; the � f VivSt-Kwirrhimidr the plans pmsihle and also contributed funds and assistance; the Atomic Energy Commission aided financially and made special equipment available. Through combined efforts, this Nuclear Research Laboratory was built and is now the location of atomic research—research for the pur-posc of furthering scientific knowledge and benefiting mankind. THISTLE COURT The Thistle Staff thought a long, long time before we decided to ask Jon Whitcomb to choose the 195 0 Thistle Queen. He has one of the largest followings among American illustrators, and anyone who has seen his drawings knows that a better man could not have been picked as a connoisseur of beauty. His success as an artist was not the only thing that appealed to us. We knew that he began his career on a campus publication and worked hard to reach the top. We knew that Mr. Whitcomb would judge fairly and would pick the girl most like the dreamy creatures in his illustrations. He did not let us down either. Our queen has been a queen before, and anyone who has seen Catherine Murphy in jeans knows that she is just as queenly in denim as she is in satin. Chosen to attend her on the Thistle Court were Jean Miller, Helen Grimes, Sally Hutchinson, Dorothy Kaye, Betty Gryte, and Anita Cole. Mr. Whitcomb's job was a hard one, but we think his decision was well made. Catherine Murphy Kappa Alpha Theta Sally Hutchinson Kappa Kappa Gamma Dot tie Kaye Alpha Epsilon Phi Of all the extra-curricular activities at Carnegie Tech, publications arc the most popular. The time required for participation in a campus publication is doubly rewarded by recognition and learned experience. A few stu- PUBLICATIONS dents have become so interested in the Tartan or the THISTLE that they have chosen printing or journalism as a career. Others have applied their knowledge to the production of smaller pamphlets within fraternities, sororities, or clubs. Experience in practically every phase of journalistic writing is offered by the student publications. Because the Scot is a variety magazine, it contains humor, sports, short story, fashion, and poetic writing. The Tartan is a miniature newspaper with articles written in the typical brief newspaper style. Cano is for the more talented and would-be serious literary genius, catering mainly to writers of short story and poetry. The Technical, however, is unique. One of the finest technical magazines printed by engineering schools, it contains scientific articles written by promising students in the engineering field. The Dorm Bagpiper, although a minor publication, covers the news of dorm students. Some publications overlap, others arc entirely separate, but each serves a definite purpose. The student body responds favorably to the efforts of those who work on publications. Those who work respond favorably to the experience they gain. Publications, in turn, arc the most actively-participated field of campus life. TARTAN Albert Kimmel ROW 1— V. RoitftlJ, R. Lynch, A. Moore, L. Jacobi, R. Byrne, D. Wintlon. ROW 2—A. Kimmel, H.

To the staff which produces it—the Tartan is a labor of love. No other words adequately describe the type and extent of activity which goes into producing it. Combined staffs of seventy-five would-be editors and business managers devote countless hours each week throughout the year to this extra-consuming activity. Earnestly they try to give complete, fair, discriminating, colorful, and interesting news, sports, and feature coverage to the campus. At times this occurs with more success than at others—but rare is the occasion when the Tartan is scooped. Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons activity in the third floor of the Union sends the paper to press. It is here that the- staff congregates to bend over typewriters, write, correct, and rewrite stories; and create headlines that make the news for the following week. At the same time these components arc being assembled into a finished product, woven around the business ads which have been scraped up during the week. For most of the staff the paper is not a one-day-a-week job. Before one issue of the paper appears they are hard at work on the next one, digging up leads, covering assigned stories, and writing them for final publication. Ever on the alert for new and interested victims, the Tartan maintains an effective long range personnel policy—building potential editors with every assignment. Each year the staff tries to add something to that which it inherited—always looking for better ways of producing a better paper for you—its reader. TECHNICAL Robert McKclvcy, Editor SEATED—R.

The policy of the Technical has been to provide an outlet for undergraduate technical writing, to include material of interest to graduates as well as to undergraduates, and to promote the professional standing of the school. In keeping with this policy, the Technical has published articles from every department in the College of Engineering and Science, which were written by both students and instructors. The regular features, Techspcrts” and Technicalities,” have proved their popularity with the reader and have added to the high caliber of the magazine. Last year, the Technical, in its continuous experiment with new ideas, instituted a contest to further the development of scientific writing on campus. The response to the contest has been appreciable, and it will probably become a definite policy of the magazine. In this, its fourteenth year of publication, the Carnegie Technical, under the leadership of Editor Robert McKclvey, has maintained a top journalistic position on campus and as one of the leading college scientific journals. Laura Ehni and Katie Rudy, Co-Editors THISTLE i The Thistle Staff, representing the Junior Class, presents the 1950 Thistle. to the Seniors: In your yearbook we have included all the departments, organizations, and athletic groups for which you worked many hours. In an effort to record the tempo of Carnegie Tech’s busy and progressive campus, we featured Spring Carnival, Scotch and Soda, the Union, Homecoming, the Cyclotron.

After the timely death of the Scottic, a variety of formats for new publications were presented to the Student Council Publications Committee. Each of these was designed to fulfill a need for a light vein publication on our otherwise technical campus. Of those submitted, the Scot was finally chosen, and the organization of this new publication was inaugurated. The Scot was designed to entertain the student body, but with material of a higher level than had been presented by the Scottie. Pocket sized, the magazine does not attempt or desire to follow a rigid content pattern, but has consistently included a photographic essay, some fictional material, a lot of artwork, a serious article by cither a faculty member or a prominent graduate, a queen photograph, poetry, and sports articles, plus some humorous writing. The emphasis was generally upon visual material because of an abundance of such material, rather than upon literature which, here at Tech, is difficult to obtain at the level desired. Another factor was the ease and speed of pictures—important in the crowded schedules of student life at Tech. The first issues were well received and well criticized. Changes arc being made which will increase the former and minimize the latter. BAGPIPER ROW 1—D. Dougljtt, A. Dimino, R. Byrne, . .jfiuto, B. Sprmgnun. A. unite, G. Witty. ROW 2—F. Gentry, R.

After a shaky and uncertain start, the I)orm Bagpiper once again fought its way out of threatening obscurity to place among the contenders as the up and coming Carnegie Tech publication. At the start of this past fall semester, the major editors of the preceding Bagpiper staff were not available for various reasons. Tom Sedgwick, the editor-in-chief, w-as not back in school; John Fondrk, an effective organizer, was married and living off campus; several other important editors from the preceding staff no longer had time. Just when the Bagpiper again seemed destined to slip into obscurity, as it had in 1946, a small group, headed by Angelo Jaimee, Wally Neilson, and Shirley Fitzmauricc undertook the job of reorganizing a new staff. The student response, like the quality of the newspaper, improved with each successive issue until by the completion of the 1950 school year, the Bagpiper had attained a quality and appearance unique in its particular type of publication. More important, though, was the greater degree of permanency achieved in the organization of the staff—a fact important in protecting the dorm publication from the cver-dangcrous pits of obscurity.

Loyalty to brothers and sisters without ignoring the world at large. The choice of a fraternity ATERN ITIES is up to the individual; he may join or he may not. Friendships need not be broken because one friend is a Greek and the other is not. No fraternity expects dogmatic discrimination. Loyalty without narrow mindedness; friendship without limits arc the aims of Greeks. They arc strong and they are united, but their place in today’s society is significant to the growth of character, to universal friendship. At Tech, the Greeks have played an important role. Witness campaigns for beauty queens, or handsome kings. Witness the float parades or Homecoming decorations. Witness scholarships and philanthropies. Witness high scholastic standing and active participation in activities. Kappa or Theta, D U or Kappa Sig—it makes no difference which of the nineteen Greek organizations one choses. They converge as a symphonic composition into a force that patterns the melody of campus life. ALPHA TAU OMEGA FIRST ROW—D. Bickelman, Worthy Matter; R. Seidemficker, Worthy Kttprr of the Annali.

Outstanding social activities have included the Homecoming weekend, (our decorations took second place—which consisted of a mechanical suspension bridge supposedly built by the Lehigh engineers which the football team would certainly shatter in the Saturday game), a pledge prison party,” the work and fun of Spring Carnival, and a wide variety of parties, picnics, and dances. Our high place in activities and honoraries did not suffer with the graduation of our well known seniors in June, 1949. This year. Alpha Tau Omega was found in varsity football, swimming, rifle, and track teams. We were especially proud of our representatives in Student Council, Men’s Glee Club, Alpha Phi Omega, Radio Club, and the varsity C-Club; also, our brothers in Pi Tau Sigma, Tau Beta Pi, Omicron Delta Kappa, and Scabbard and Blade. In intramural sports, we opened our league in football. Once again prospects are bright for another excellent year for Alpha Tau Omega. FIRST ROW—A. Morten, f. Wet, C. Peterson, J. McKane, W.

For the men of Zeta Chapter of Beta Sigma Rho, the spring term of 1949 was enriched with the Spring Carnival weekend and the annual Formal dance held at Westmoreland Country Club. Upon our return to the house for the fall term, we found many pleasing changes. The living rooms had been redecorated and repainted with excellent results. For the fortunate architects a study had been completed under very capable direction. The kitchen underwent several changes so that the brothers now enjoy finer meals. Also there has been a grand addition to our back yard—a fireplace where the fraternity affords the luxuries of outdoor cooking. Rushing was quite successful during the term and twelve new men were added to Zeta Chapter. Upon the completion of rushing, scholarship was the keynote of the year, as it has been in the past. Once again the chapter won the scholarship cup. Not all of our time was spent studying, as there were outstanding social events throughout the year. The annual Tea for Freshman Women was held, and this was followed by a Halloween Dance, and a highly entertaining Pledge Dance—a Wild West costume party. The feature of the evening was when a brother led a donkey into the house. Also, a pledge-active basketball, swim, and dance party added another joyful evening to our college life. FIRST ROW: H.

The House on the Hill,” (as the boys of Beta affectionately call their sanctorum as they climb the forty steps from street level), was found in decidedly better shape than usual this year when the rushccs were coerced through its doors. And before the furnace could go out, there were thirteen of the brightest, most sparkling young scouts that Tech can boast wearing the three stars of the pledge pin. In true traditional form, rushing was climaxed by a tremendous picnic at Justin Lee’s farm. The weekends found the throng partying at the house. There were sorority teas, not to speak of open houses, backwards parties, hard-times parties, barbeque (they said I had to mention it), orphans’ party, picnics, formals, hayrides . . . and various other such extravaganzas. As well as being busy socially, the Betas managed to keep occupied on campus. For the second consecutive year one of the cohorts was Student Council President. There were brothers on nearly all publications staffs and representatives in seven varsity sports. To the school year 1949-19S0, we all evoke the facial riffle—Ah-h-h.” The results arc amazing: the total appearance is one which gives great satisfaction. In fact it makes the other houses drab.

For the second consecutive time, the Dell buggy shattered all speed records and won the 1949 Spring Carnival sweepstakes trophy. The intramural soccer team added another trophy to the ever increasing collection by playing an undefeated and untied season. Also in the intramural arena. Delta Tau Delta took second place in volleyball and wrestling. September of 1949 found the Dclts returning to a completely refurnished and redecorated Shelter complete with a television set. After the usual trying Rush week, the Delta Beta Chapter emerged with the nineteen best pledges on campus. While many hours arc spent watching wrestling matches and other sports events plus the daily serials with their suspenseful to be continued” plots, the Dclts arc far from lacking in campus activities. The school year 1949-1950 found the actives and pledges prominent in such activities as Student Council, Tartan, Technical, Kiltie Band, intramural athletics, varsity track and tennis teams, C-Club, Tau Beta Pi, Delta Skull, Scimitar, and Pi Delta Epsilon. Picnics, entertainment of pledge groups from other fraternities, a Christmas Party, the Delta Tau Delta formals, Greek Sing and Swing, and the long preparations for Spring Carnival added even more to our college life.

Under the able leadership of campus notables such as Gerry Peck, Don Stitt, Al Kiefer, and Bob Kubiak, the D.U.’s at Carnegie staged another decade's worth of riotous parties and all-out school competitions in nine short months. All too short when measured with a social yardstick. Among the many activities of the year, our calendar consisted of entertaining alumni at dinner and sororities with evening parties. Numerous picnics colored our stay at C1T even further, for an atmosphere of friendliness was ever most high. During the Christmas season, the Delta Upsilon Wives Club combined with the fraternity to entertain a group of boys and girls from the St. Paul’s Orphanage. One of the fraternity men played the part of Santa Claus bestowing gifts on their children. In scholastic, social, and athletic pursuits, the boys followed their motto, A D.U. in everything; every D.U. in something.” D.U.’s were called to every honorary in the last call on Carnegie Day. Many positions of honor arc held by the fraternity as shown by the following: Charles Kocstcr, newly elected president of Student Council; Robert Kubiak, president of Delta Skull and Pi Delta Epsilon; Burt Wells, editor of the Scot; and George Pugh, president of Tau Beta Pi.

Under the leadership of Grand Master Dick Mitchell, the brothers carried on a profitable rush season, climaxed by the pledging of twenty-nine men of the usual high caliber. The addition of modern Cocktail Corner in the basement was well received by all, and many other improvements put the house in the best shape in years. Homecoming this year was especially significant to all Kappa Sigs, for at last it marked the burning of the mortgage of the house. Once again the two Kappa Sig formals were the highlights of the social year, along with the traditional, uproarious Christmas and New Year’s Eve parties. The annual Orphans’ Christmas Party and Dinner was a huge success. Many other sorority and theme parties rounded out the social calendar, and left never a dull moment at 624 Clyde. The work done by the Mothers Club deserves special praise, and their efforts were certainly a contributing factor in keeping Kappa Sigma in a dominant position on campus. FIRST ROW—IT. Hayet, E.

The social whirl, intramural program, and other extracurricular activities all helped to make this school year one of the finest in Phi Kappa’s history. Rushing and the events following led to the pledging of a fine group of men who immediately contributed their best to the fraternity program. The social season, with its Friday night smokers and Saturday parties, was terrific. Highlights were the unforgctable Homecoming, the Pledge Party, the Spring Formal, and, of course, Spring Carnival. The pledge’s Bali-Lo” party was the most entertaining of all with its weird and exotic costumes amid a profusion of South Sea Island decorations. The fraternity also sponsored a Christmas benefit party for fifteen orphans from the Saint Paul’s Orphanage. The fraternity was also very active in the other extracurricular activities. With the advent of the football season, the outstanding football player of the season, Nick Simcic, was awarded the Pash Memorial Trophy. The presentation was made at the Military Ball. This trophy is given in memory of Joe Pash who was killed in World War II—a former football player and Phi Kap. FIRST ROW—A. DrVido, T. D'Agoi-lino, V. Cotter, L. HtizJot. SECOND ROW—T. Higgle. M.

The social, scholastic, and extra-curricular achievements carried through the high standards set up by the traditions of the past. The ranks of thirty-three actives were boosted by a pledge class of eighteen men. Together the actives and pledges banded themselves into an integrated group thirsting for brotherhood. The fall semester is remembered for the many parties, namely the Barn Dance-Hay Ride, the Kid Party, and the Halloween Party. After a short pause to catch our breath, we finished the term by holding the big party of the year, the Christmas Party. The spring semester was filled with such parties as the Spring Formal, the Pledge Party, and the gala events of Spring Carnival. To further the bonds of friendship, the chapter united with the Pitt chapter of PiKA and enjoyed many rival intramural sports, competitions, and several beer parties. The extra-curricular activities ranks saw PiKA’s active in Scimitars, Delta Skull, Omicron Delta Kappa, Pi Mu Epsilon, Tau Beta Pi, Alpha Phi Omega, Theta Tau, Pi Delta Epsilon, Kiltie Band, and Varsity Sports.

The fall social program continued the success. The Futuristic Party on Halloween lived up to the standards set by the Night Life of the Gods” Party of last year. At Homecoming, we were delightfully swamped” by alumni, friends, and brothers. The annual Christmas formal provided a heart warming send-off for vacation. The pledges rounded out the fall program with a boisterous party just after New Year’s. With spring, came fun. The new system for Greek Sing really made it a chapter event. The large number of men in the group made the rehearsals almost as enjoyable as the performance. Spring Carnival season was crowded with activity. The week preceding, the Pitt and the Tech Chapters held the province convention. We were hosts to the eleven other chapters in our province on May 4, 5, 6. Then, we plunged into preparations for Spring Carnival. We built a new and better pushmobile than the one which won the design award last year. It was an engineering marvel. The final conclusion from all this work was that it had all been worth the effort. FIRST ROW—R. UicbeiJ, R. Stoble, S. HaJJaJ, G. Zaar, T. Woodward, P. Pill man, J. Dunbar. SECOND ROW — W.

Sigma Nu after taking the league and school championship in bowling, and first place in Greek Sing and the Spring Carnival Float Parade, climaxed a highly successful year by capturing the 1949 Fall Homecoming cups for decorations and the pledge cheer. Perhaps most important, however, was the complete rcdccoration of our house. We constructed a game room which is charged with atmosphere” and repainted the rest of the house from top to bottom. A barroom adjacent to the game room is in the process of construction and should add the finishing touch. On January 14, 1950, the Sigma Nu and Alpha Tau Omega fraternities sponsored their annual V.M.I. formal. This year the fraternity men added to the color of the affair by outfitting the entire male complement in costumes of the Civil War period. The girls wore traditional hoop skirts too. Before the dance, the ATO’s and the Sigma Nu’s captured Morewood Gardens while a Confederate Band blasted through several choruses of Dixie.” A password was needed to enter the dorm. At the dance. Miss Anne Augustine was chosen as the Belle of the Ball”— a tradition to be continued in the future. Sigma Nu is represented in all phases of campus life, with members active in varsity football, basketball, track, the Tartan, Kiltie Band, Men’s Glee Club, Metals Club, and Scabbard and Blade.

Psi Chapter of Tau Delta Phi, reinforced with the addition of thirteen pledges, continues to uphold its reputation of having the highest percentage of its active members of any fraternity on campus turn out for activities. Tau Dclts arc proud of their scholastic record, both nationally and on campus. Nationally, Tau Delta Phi stands sixth among fifth-nine major fraternities, and locally, Psi chapter stands fourth with an average factor of 213063. Furthermore, Tau Dclts were hip deep in such extra-curricular activities as the Tartan, Technical, WRCT, and Student Council. Most notable in this respect is Herbert Stone, Senior Mechanical Engineer, who is both managing editor of the Technical and business manager of the Tartan. In addition, two Tau Dclts are on Student Council, namely, Arthur Zuch and Leonard Smollen. In intramural sports, one of our brothers attained great honor—Morton Baker is the Intramural Tennis Champion at CIT. On the varsity football team, Norman Keats played tackle. In addition the social calendar is as filled as a bee's honey comb in the spring. Homecoming, the annual Freshman Tea, and the Pledge Class Circus Dance proved to be the highlights of the first semester. FIRST ROW—A. SotiUr, B. Padolf, A. Selz, R. Gorman, L. Blnmenlbal, D.

The 1949-19JO year was started off with an enthusiastic rush week which resulted in the addition of twenty men to the chapter rolls; twenty more who now share with the active members, the scholastic and social bonds that make collegiate life the full and rich experience that it rightfully should be. Our social calendar not only included the usual holiday parties, tea dances, and stag events; it also included several novel features such as an old fashioned bar-beque-husking bee and a Sadie Hawkins Day Dance. In the field of sports. Pi again has proved itself to be a major contender in every branch of these intramural activities; we entered one or two teams into each competition and had at least one ranked in the first division of each of their respective leagues. In recognition of the fact that participation in activities other than athletic or scholastic contributes much to a well-rounded education, the men of Pi have dispersed themselves as members among every organization on the CIT campus. The staffs of Scot, Technical, Tartan, the Student Council, the various departmental societies—all have their share of the TX men of Pi. FIRST ROW—R. Hahn. R. Franklin, R. Aber, W. Bloom.

ALPHA EPSILON PHI The Alpha Nu chapter of Alpha Epsilon Phi is embarking on its sixth year at Carnegie Institute of Technology. The girls who proudly wear the pearl and gold letters of Alpha Epsilon Phi have been outstanding as leaders in every phase of Tech life. The girls arc also very proud of the high ratings given to them by the fraternity’s national olficc. Alpha Epsilon Phi’s arc well represented with members among the Cwens, Mortar Board, Student Council, and on the various publications. We feel that we have also been honored when Betty Lou Kaufmann was chosen as a member of the Queen’s Court during Carnival weekend. Our major undertaking for the year has marked up another first” for Alpha Epsilon Phi. We were not only the first sorority on Tech campus to sponsor a fashion show for the cancer fund, but we were also the first chapter of Alpha Epsilon Phi. It is leadership and originality like this of which we arc most proud. . Chottiner D. Kaye L. Festenslein F. Kimball V. Klauber B. Miller . Most R. Schulman M. Watfitb FIRST ROVC'—R. Zueig, E.

Helen Finlay directed us in our skit to take the second place cup and Cory DcChicchis represented Chi Omega on the Queen’s Court during Spring Carnival which climaxed the year. In the middle of a varied and pleasant summer, Omicron Delta Chapter got together for a weekend at South Park after our delegate came back from Convention at Natural Bridge. Here, we enjoyed many sports such as: swimming, horseback riding, and bicycling. With fall came school again, the doll party and traditional candlelight service at the formal Chocolate” climaxed fall rushing. Thirteen pledges joined us; the largest number in any group for the second consecutive year. Well known all over campus, the Chi O’s were actively represented or leaders in over thirty organizations.

The assignments, term papers, and grades will be forgotten as they recall the three glorious years spent in Delta Delta Delta. As a national fraternity for women, Delta Delta Delta received its charter on campus in 1941. It was founded in 1S8S and now has ninety-three collegiate chapters and 185 alumnae organizations. Its membership exceeds 4 5,000. Tri Dclts arc active in all school activities and hold offices in many of them. Some of these are: Y.W.C.A., Phi Kappa Phi, Cwens, Home Ec Club, M.M. Senate, W.A.A., Dorm Council, I.R.C., Newman Club, Glee Club, Teknon, Tartan, Thistle, Scotch Soda, and the Scot. By active participation in campus organizations, we have learned the true meaning of school spirit and a well rounded personality. % Mn w r� 1 i o Q m ex fi (;L % a 9 ? 9 V I) f , Wr mH? 0 a 9.

DELTA GAMMA The social calendar of the Beta Nu Chapter of Delta Gamma started right after last June’s exams. We packed our trunks and went off for a week of sun and fun to the Barr’s cabin in Chautauqua, New York. We enjoyed the company of the Shaffers. Our enjoyment of each other’s cooking is debatable, however. Returning to school well-nourished and rested, the girls set out for the biggest project of the year— rushing. A Luau Tea and a Gay Nineties Party were given to help the rushecs visualize life with Delta Gamma. Once again we felt very proud to sec the pink and blue being worn by our new pledges. On the extracurricular side. Dee Gees are members and officers of Mortar Board, Cwcns, Dorm Council, Margaret Morrison Senate, Pan Hellenic Council, and are well represented on the staffs of many school publications.

Theta was honored when Linda Cowan was chosen Honorary Cadet Colonel by ROTC and former Colonel Catherine Murphy was invited to the court this fall at the Military Ball, l.ast year at Spring Carnival, Marilyn Allshousc was elected to the Queen’s Court. Our talent scope is extensive, as is evidenced by Theta’s prominence in many departments of education.

The campaign had been a glorious one. We used a baseball theme to introduce the girls to the students. As a result, we had Rosy Roscwcll to announce the game on the cut. Ralph Kincr had his picture taken with the candidates down at Forbes Field and the game reached television and the newspapers. One of our more memorable dates was the Initiation Dance at the Jackiown Hotel in the room of two shades of blue which was just what was needed to make the dance complete. The orchestra was Jack Purcell’s, and everyone had a grand time.

Although the baby sorority on campus, we commemorated our seventy-fifth year nationally—a Diamond Anniversary, indeed! All the excitement was intensified with a visit from Mrs. Russel Cole, our National First Vice-President, who flew from Detroit. Michigan to help us with rushing plans, in October. Our bewildered pledges were feted at a tea given by Mrs. Moseley at her home on Gladstone Road. Later the actives held a roaring weiner roast in North Park to welcome them informally into the Sigmas. The Social Calendar for the spring included Transfer rushing, climaxed with a Valentine Party and a semi-formal at the University Club. We had a hilarious time dating our fathers for Dad’s Day, topped with a movie and buffet. And then, Greek Sing and Swing, and our Rainbow regalia. We played hostess to the S.A.E.’s, held a bowling party, and a farewell for our Sister Seniors. It was another wonderful year! A. Agnello B. Bollinxer C. Coleman P. Cur in R. Deliti C. DeVal A.

Promotion, sales, advertising: all synonomous; all of the same purpose. The name before the public; the product in the consumer's hands. Millions of dollars are spent each year on advertising. It has become an industry in itself. Open any magazine—the largest amount ADVERTISEMENTS of space is devoted to advertising. Drive along any highway—billboards dot the scenery. Turn on any radio— 99 44 100 pure,” singing commercials—auditory appeals of advertising. No matter what the medium advertising has become a part of American life. Useless? Hardly. Certainly no piece of paper is worth $2S00, but how far would that money go if each consumer had to be contacted individually? How much greater arc sales because of advertising? Look at the facts; the obvious cannot be denied. The THISTLE staff wants to thank our advertisers. They have helped us, and we in turn hope that we have helped them. Every year more pages of advertising arc added which we feel is proof enough that the THISTLE docs put the name before the public. CONGRATULATIONS! Again I welcome the opportunity to congratulate the young men and women who are graduating from the Carnegie Institute of Technology! You will be going on to do a job in the world or to further formal education. This is a world in which you will hear, as you have probably already heard, much criticism of the way things are, and the way they are done in this country. Our way of doing things is not perfect. But we shall continue to improve upon it so long as we keep what is becoming rarer and rarer throughout the world—INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM. You were free to go to a school of your own choice; you arc free to worship God as you please; you may freely choose between those who may represent you in Government; you arc free to meet with your friends and your neighbors and express your views; in general, you have the maximum freedom to do as you choose so long as you do not infringe upon the rights and privileges of others. The great accomplishments of our country have grown from and been possible only because of this freedom of the individual. Whenever you hear the critics of our system” with their proposals for changes, listen well and think deeply and thoroughly of where their ideas and proposals lead. Before you adopt them be sure they do not end in the state where so many people of the world find themselves today—their freedom as individuals gone or greatly restricted. When this has happened, there can be no real welfare,” spiritual or material. Ben Moref.ll, President JONES L.AUGHLIN STEEL CORPORATION ■I The World' Highest Speed Cold Mill . . .
