WARNER, President administration staff ELLIOT DUNLAP SMITH, Provost To many students the name Administration Hall” means merely the front part of Porter Hall, or the place where the cashier’s office or Dean’s office is located. I lowever, this building actually has a much greater importance, for in it arc the offices of the entire Administration Staff. This staff is responsible for the smooth operation of our school; it is through them that courses are planned, undergraduate and graduate students are brought to Tech, scholarships are administered, and many other functions the student takes for granted are performed. We at CIT are fortunate in having on our campus excellent Administrative personnel, many of whom had several years of experience before coming to Tech. Up on the second floor of Administration Hall can be found the office of our president. Dr. John C. Warner, and his staff. In his hands lies the small job of setting policy”; most of his work is of a representative nature,” with the aim of promoting our institution’s reputation and securing funds. Dr. Warner is a graduate of Indiana University, and Director at large of the American Chemical Society. lie is quite well known in the field of chemistry, where he formerly served our institution in the capacity of Chemistry Department I lead. I le is co-author of two much used textbooks and has written over fifty scientific and technical papers in the fields of chemistry and electrochemistry. This past winter he spent a month touring India, Rome, and finally London, and delivered a series of six lectures to one of the largest steel companies in the world. JOAN M. SCI IAEFER, Assistant Dean of Students Room 228A houses the office of Elliot Dunlap Smith, Carnegie's Provost for the past six years. Dr. Smith supervises the undergraduate educational methods and curricula of all colleges, and administers the Division of Humanistic and Social Studies and the Social Relations program. I Ic holds degrees f rom both I larvard and Yale Universities, and before coming to Tech was Master of Saybrook College, Yale University. He has also written several books and many articles which have appeared in professional journals. The one division of the Administration Staff with which most students arc familiar is the office of the Deans. Tech’s three Deans, working together, supervise, co-ordinate, and counsel student activities. Dormitory, fraternity, sorority, and student organization problems, both financial and otherwise, are brought here and solved with the help of the Deans. Personal problems of students, whether financial, academic, or social, are brought to this office. Dean of Students, James A. Dickinson, who formerly taught at Northwestern University and worked for the Navy, has full responsibility for the co-ordination of student extra-curricular activities and the administration of all scholarships, loans, and student jobs. It is his job to plan the big freshman week program, to answer any questions or requests concerning student help, both with loans and employment, and to appoint many special committees for discussion of campus problems. JAMES A. DICKINSON, Dean of Students BEN E. DAVID, Assistant Dean of Students JOHN M. DANIELS, Director of Admissions MELVIN J. VOIGT, Supervisor of Libraries Mr. B. E. David, Assistant Dean of Students—Men, works with Mr. Dickinson in regulation of student part-time employment, serves as general fraternity advisor, supervises the men's dormitories, and works with student organizations in the formulation and administration of their budgets. Before coming to CIT Mr. David was the city editor of a newspaper, a free-lance writer, and the Assistant Dean of Men at Ohio State, where he received his B.A. in Business Administration. The third of Tech’s trio of Deans is Mrs. Joan M. Schaefer, Assistant Dean of Students—Women. Mrs. Schaefer graduated from Miami University in Ohio where she was very active in many student organizations, including Cwens, Mortar Board, and Women’s Student Government. Using this valuable experience, she arranges the weekly school social calendar, advises women students in both social and academic problems, and supervises sorority activities. Previous to her appointment as Dean, Mrs. Schaefer served as advisor to many organizations on campus. There are many other members of the Administration Staff whose jobs seldom bring them into direct contact with the student body and with whom few students arc acquainted. However, their jobs are also busy and essential. There is John M. Daniels, the Director of Admissions, the man responsible for bringing students to Carnegie Tech. Through his relations with secondary schools and junior colleges he is able to inform prospective students of the CIT entrance requirements and of the H. R. PATTON, Controller courses and type of education they may get at Tech. He interviews these students at their preparatory schools and arranges for many of them to visit our campus. In addition, Mr. Daniels and his department administer all freshman scholarships, their principle aim being service to any and all applicants. Melvin |. Voigt, supervisor of the libraries of Carnegie Tech, is responsible for the operation and improvement of all library facilities on campus. I lis expansion program has greatly increased the yearly circulation of the libraries, and through his redecorating and book redistribution programs he has done much to encourage lech students to use the continually growing library facilities. H. R. Patton, Controller, is in charge of the financial and business operations of the school. I lis plans for the new School of Industrial Administration building were completed last year, and the building is well on its way to completion by now. The Nuclear Research Laboratory at Saxonburg, along with many other research projects, comes under the authority of the Controller. DOUGLAS F. MINER, Director of Student Personnel and Welfare Earl K. Collins, Registrar, has charge of all reg istration procedure and keeps all student records The new and greatly improved registration proce dure came into being through the efforts of Mr Collins. I Ie also takes an active interest in school ac tivities, having served on several faculty committees STANLEY R. MARCH, Director of Public Relations EARL K. COLLINS, Registrar 11 The head of the Student Personnel and Welfare Department has the responsibility of helping the student keep a well balanced program of extra-curricular activities. This position is ably filled by Douglas F. Miner, who, since he has been at Tech, has greatly improved the facilities of our employment department. Previous to joining the Tech Staff, he had edited a handbook on engineering materials and had worked for Westinghousc. The man responsible for much of Tech’s publicity is Stanley R. March, the Director of Public Relations. It is Mr. March who directed President Warner’s inauguration program last year. In this program he succeeded in one of his main projects, that of encouraging student participation in public programs on campus. Working with Mr. March as editor of the Carnegie News Service is Miss Marilyn Pfohl, a newcomer to Tech. A graduate of the Pennsylvania College for Women, she is responsible for Carnegie Tech’s publicity releases. Included in the Administration is the Dean of Graduate Students and the head of the Electrical Engineering Department, Dean Benjamin R. Tearc. Mr. Tearc has the important job of planning the program of graduate study in each engineering field, a program which stresses the master of the basic science in each field and the development of the powers of analysis and independent thinking. This entire staff, some of whose members are very well known on campus and others whom few students realize exist, are all a necessary part of the operation of any school. They do the all important administrative work which enables a college the size of Carnegie Tech to function smoothly. MARILYN PFOHL, Editor, Carnegie News Service BENJAMIN R.

It is the very essence of his education; it is theory in practice; it is breadth of ability and scholarly thinking. Because of such a plan of education, Tech’s school of Engineering and Science is becoming more famous every year. Business men are aware that a Carnegie engineer is not only a competent engineer hut also a well rounded citizen. This is because of the courses in social relations—English, history, and economics—which he took at Tech. I Ie has learned that the world is not made up entirely of slide rules, math problems, and chemical formulae, hut that there are also political and economic problems which must lie understood even though it would be impossible for one individual to solve them. With such a background, the Tech graduate is equipped to handle the economic and social problems as well as the professional problems which may arise on the job. As Dean of the College of Engineering and Science, Dr. Webster N. Jones takes an active interest in the students of the College. With the help of the Student-Faculty Liaison Committee, he has helped to further understanding and cooperation between the students and faculty; and under his guidance, the College takes new honors each year for the training of expert engineers and citizens. WEBSTER N. JONES, Dean Typical neat reagent setup in lab He evidently didn't read No Smoking md department The Department of Chemistry is continuing the integration of its instruction in general, analytical, organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry under the Carnegie Plan of professional education. In so far as possible, all the subjects in a given field are aimed to flow naturally one into the other. Such a sequence permits the student to keep building on his knowledge of basic chemistry. In addition to their formal training in the lecture laboratory classes, many undergraduate students arc brought into first hand contact with research investigators on the frontiers of chemistry through part-time employment on the research projects operating in the Department. The Department is now firmly settled in the additional quarters made available to it by the completion of the front wing of Engineering and Science Hall. The new space has provided offices for the members of the faculty, laboratories for graduate instruction in radiochemical and microchcmical techniques, and laboratories for graduate research in physical, organic, nuclear, and spectroscopic chemistry. In addition, the program of renovation of Wing D of Engineering and Science Hall has provided the Department with a new laboratory for undergraduate instruction in physical chemistry, new chemical storerooms, an enlarged machine shop, and new quarters for the Petroleum Research Laboratory, including the American Petroleum Institute Research Projects 6 and 44. Among the latter facilities are a tall shaft containing a batter)’ of absorption fractionating columns nearly 70 ’ signs of chemistry feet in length, and a completely equipped two-story laboratory for high-efficiency distilling operation, which are carried on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except for twicc-a-year shutdowns. The excellent physical facilities of the Department of Chemistry supplement a faculty of acknowledged leaders in their respective fields of chemistry, enabling the Department to carry forward a well-rounded program of undergraduate and graduate instruction and research for students in chemistry. FREDERICK D. ROSSINI Department Head E. Previc, C. Peterson, R. Dickerson american chemical society and chemist club Nuclear chemistry apparatus Last year the students of the Chemistry Department formed two groups: the Student Affiliate of the American Chemical Society and the Chemist Club. The Carnegie Tech chapter of the Student Affiliate of the American Chemical Society is composed of undergraduate students majoring in chemistry and chemical engineering. The purpose of this chapter is to offer intellectual stimulation to its members. This is accomplished by holding meetings of technical interest. Guest speakers, student speakers, and movies arc the main programs at the monthly meetings. Under the leadership of Jack Bornmann, this group is working hard to achieve its purposes. The Chemist Club is composed of those students who arc interested in the field of chemistry whether or not it is their major at Carnegie Tech. The purpose of this club is to afford these students the opportunity to increase their knowledge of the field of chemistry. This is accomplished by planning field trips, and by having guest speakers. The chemistry club also plans to hold social functions which will enable the students to learn from each other. M. Moores, L. Fleckenstein, ). Bornmann, P. Southwick V: wv i w Li,....m CARL C. MONRAD, Department Head department of The Department of Chemical Engineering was founded in 1936 as a result of the growth of the chemical engineering profession. Prior to that time the Department of Chemistry had offered a number of courses in this field. Dr. Carl C. Mon rad became the second head in 1947 when he replaced Dr. W. L. McCabe. This year the department’s floor space was more than doubled to provide room for increased educational and research activities. The department is now situated partly in the old portion of Engineering I lall and partly in the new wing which was completed last year. Besides class rooms, seminar rooms, and offices, this wing contains five floors of modern laboratories. At present apparatus is being moved into these laboratories and old equipment is being supplemented by many new items. The undergraduate curriculum has also been changed recently to better coordinate courses and to furnish a more comprehensive plan of study. Graduate research is being carried on in thermodynamics, heat transfer, absorption, chemical reaction kinetics, and other subjects.

Sedlock american institute at chemical engineers The student chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers is sponsored by the national AIChE to encourage the professional development of students. Membership is open to students in the sophomore year or above, including those in graduate courses. The AIChE Student Chapter often invites representatives of chemical companies to speak at its meetings on subjects such as their company’s products or job opportunities for graduates. Through speakers, films, and publications the members endeavor to keep in touch with developments in industry. The officers this year were George F. Hadley, James E. Walker, and William Sedlock. Faculty advisor was Dr. R. R. Rothfus. Recording data on erosive velocity of water on a sand bottom FREDERICK T. MAVIS Department Head department of civil engineering In its academic study the Civil Department emphasizes structural engineering, hydraulic engineering, and applied mechanics. At all levels there is project-work that is discussed in large groups and then studied in detail by squads. Each squad does its part of an assignment and reports orally and in writing to the whole class. This allows each student to fit his work into a larger plan. In so doing he not only learns his part of the work but also is given a chance to benefit by the accomplishments of his fellow students. This plan of organized teamwork helps to prepare the students for graduate study, research, industry, or professional practice. Dr. F. T. Mavis, head of the Civil Engineering Department, in an article entitled “Who’s Cheating in Examinations, published in Engineering News-Record, stated his views on this plan of instruction. He believes that “The biggest job a teacher has is to help a student learn to think and speak for himself—individually; and to help students to work together. In order to achieve this he states: “I would urge being resourceful and sincere—(1) in helping each student to learn to think and speak for himself; (2) in helping students work together in teams; (3) in removing the burden of memory during examinations by opening books and notes freely tc anyone; (4) in trying to find out how the future engineer uses his mind under pressure free from panic—and to help him use it better.” This policy of the Civil Engineering Department has attained a high degree of success as proven by the recognition received by the department’s graduates. tuner icon society of civil engineering Those students pursuing a career in civil engineering are eligible for student membership in the American Society of Civil Engineers. The purpose of the society is to stimulate interest in the profession, to improve student-faculty relations, and to unite the civil engineering students in professional and social activities. These purposes are accomplished by inviting representatives of the engineering profession to discuss problems met in industry, by planning field trips which afford the members the opportunity to see the men of their profession at work, by holding such social events as smokers and picnics, and by participating in athletic events. In addition to these activities, the members publish a monthly magazine. The A.S.C.E. Contour Lines. In order to give the public an idea of what the students arc doing, the members of the A.S.C.E. sponsor an open house, in which they act as guides and display the exhibits they have prepared. These activities arc carried on under the leadership of John McElhenny, president of the student chapter. Last year and ever)' year since 1946 the group has received commendation from the national society in recognition of its outstanding accomplishments. P. Innocenti, K. Zeilfelder, E. Kerr, E.

Rreakey american institute of electrica I engineers The student branches of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Institute of Radio Engineers are combined under common student officers and have common activities. The main portion of their program consists of monthly technical meetings on a student level which are planned to help the members in their profession. A meeting typical of those held this year incorporated a talk on automatic train control by Mr. Baughman of the Union Switch and Signal and two related movies. Afterwards the meeting was transformed as usual into a social gathering with refreshments. Other projects during the year included a plant trip and the department picnic. J. Strauss, G. Breakey, G. Royer, T. Tepelidis, R. Lynch, J. Rarick A national electrical engineering honorary, Eta Kappa Nu is primarily a society which recognizes men in the profession of electrical engineering who have distinguished themselves in college or in practice. This year the organization continued to operate the faculty-student liaison committee within the department, and started several new projects. One of the pledge projects is the systematic classification and filing of vacuum tubes in the Electronics Laboratory. Eta Kappa Nu has undertaken the maintenance of the Senior Book, a directory of recent Electrical Engineering graduates from CIT. This project was started by the 1951 graduating class, and if sufficient interest is shown, it will become a permanent project. Copies will be given to each graduate and correction sheets sent to alumni. That maze is part of the main power panel in E.E. lab electrical engineering This year, as in the past, the Electrical Engineering Department is improving old courses and adding to keep abreast of new knowledge in the electrical engineering field. Dr. Tcarc also intends to continue his policy of teaching by effort, mistakes, and experience. The work of the department has been fully adapted and coordinated with the Carnegie Plan of Professional Education. Response of Physical Systems, a new course offered to seniors this year, studies the analysis systems, especially simple servomechanisms. Besides an excellent undergraduate program, extensive graduate research is being carried on, thirty-two students being engaged in various forms of research. Magnetic amplifiers, network and transmission line theory, electronic circuits, electrostatic precipitation, and servomechanisms arc subjects presently under investigation. BENJAMIN R. TEARE, Jr., Department Head So it's a test; who’s worried?' Oscilloscope takes a beating in AC machinery lab (3lu (iKentoriam departtneMut of JOSEPH BERNHARDT ROSENBACH It is with extreme regret and sorrow that wc record the sudden death of Professor Joseph B. Rosenbach on November 6, 1951. With the utmost reverence and respect wc dedicate this space to his memory. Professor Rosenbach received his undergraduate education at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn and the University of New Mexico, and his graduate education at the Universities of New Mexico, Colorado, and Illinois. He joined the Carnegie faculty in 1920 as an instructor in mathematics, and in 1950 was made Head of the Mathematics Department. He held the distinction of being one of the ablest teachers on the Carnegie campus. He made important contributions to the Carnegie Plan for Professional Education, and served as secretary of the Basic Course Committee for many years. 11c was a close adviser to both day and evening students, and took an active part in the guiding and counseling of freshmen. He was well known throughout the colleges of the United States as the co-author of successful textbooks in Algebra and Trigonometry. But he will be best remembered by those who knew him for his warm friendship, his charming personality, and the many activities in which he indulged for the welfare and inspiration of students at Carnegie. A truly great person and a friend has departed; he will not be easily replaced. Though the loss is great, his family and friends may be consoled with the memory of a life well lived and devoted to the service of others. mathematics The Department of Mathematics at Carnegie Institute of Technology offers two intensive four-year programs in mathematics at the undergraduate level, one in pure mathematics and the other in applied mathematics. Each of these programs leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics. Graduate work, leading to the degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Science, is directed toward study and research in analysis, applied mathematics, mathematical physics, and statistics. Extensive research programs, under the direction of members of the Department, are currently in progress in elasticity and plasticity, electromagnetic theory and acoustics, fluid dynamics, mathematical economics and programming, network theory, mathematical statistics and statistical quality control, relativity and quantum mechanics, and vibrations. DAVID MOSKOVITZ Acting Department Head pi mu epsilan No fancy apparatus here, just the old noodle Pi Mu Epsilon is a national honorary mathematics fraternity composed of faculty, graduate, and undergraduate members, without restriction as to department or college. It maintains chapters in over fifty of the larger colleges and universities in the United States. Its purposes are to further interest in mathematics and to encourage and stimulate advanced study and research. The CIT Chapter of Pi Mu Epsilon sponsors lectures by both distinguished mathematicians and students. Professor Peter Chiarulli is the faculty advisor. P. Chiarulli, D. Shaffer, F. Smith, R. DiPrima, W. Warner Efficiency test of a Roots Blower department af Gradually during the past few years, the Department of Mechanical Engineering has been making changes in its curriculum and equipment. Last year saw the completion of the conversion to the Carnegie Plan of study. The freshman and sophomore courses have been better integrated by the addition of new courses, replacing less efficient courses in the same fields. New equipment which has been added in the past few years has also augmented this change to the Carnegie Plan. Some of the recent additions have been two Westinghouse steam turbines, a furnace with an automatic stoker, a variable speed fluid drive, and a method of determining stress by coating with lacquer a replica of the object being tested. Original research which is being carried on by faculty members as well as students has been aided by a relocation of laboratory equipment. The Department of Mechanical Engineering is very active during the open houses held at Homecoming. Guided tours and demonstrations are used to acquaint visitors with this evcr-cxpanding department. society of automotive engineers It was just this year on September 15, 1951 that Carnegie Tech's Student Branch of the Society of Automotive Engineers received its Student Branch Charter. The purpose of the organization is to arouse new interest in the automotive industry and to promote good fellowship among the students. We also try to show our members how engineering theories can be applied to the industry by bringing various speakers to the meetings. Some of these speakers have been Mr. Robert N. Austin from the Iron City Spring Company, Mr. 11. A. Bigley from Gulf Oil, and Dr. W. F. Stokcy, our faculty advisor. Our future plans include a Student Night program at which time a contest will be held to choose the best automotive paper given by members from the Pitt and Tech Student Branches. Membership in SAE is open to any student in any college of the school who is interested in the automotive industry. Our enrollment now includes Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, and Chemical Engineers as well as members of the Industrial Management, Metallurgy, Physics and Chemistry Departments. C. Zorowski, R. McNatt, W. Horner, R. Bugos mechanical engineering W. Forstall, Jr., W. Rowe, Jr., S. Cemi, A. Wissinger american society of mechanical engineers This year it has been the aim of The American Society of Mechanical Engineers to have speakers who could present information which would aid the students in mechanical engineering in choosing their specialty, in adjusting as they enter industry, and in formulating a lifetime plan whereby they may advance to positions of greater responsibility. Some of these speakers were Provost E. D. Smith, Mr. T. A. Boyd of General Motors Research Laboratories-one of the discoverers of ethyl gas-and Mr. Wilson Hunter of the NACA Laboratories in Cleveland. Several smokers were also held which contributed greatly to the fellowship among students in the department. At the ASME Convention held at the University of Detroit, the Carnegie Tech chapter made a clean sweep of the prizes and trophies. Arch Newton won the speaking prize, and our group had enough men there to win the “Man-Miles” Trophy. The next convention will be held at the University of Akron, and we arc hoping to be among the winners again. pi tau sigma The Carnegie 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 successful ones. The purpose of Pi Tau Sigma is twofold: to foster the high ideals of the engineering profession, and to stimulate the student’s interest in his community and his profession. The organization also serves to establish a close bond of friendship among its members. The fraternity’s members are 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.

MEHL, Department Head The joint operations of the Department of Metallurgical Engineering and the Metals Research Laboratory provide the staff and facilities for an extensive program of undergraduate and graduate teaching and research which attracts students and scientists from all over the world-twelve foreign countries were represented this year. During the year 1951-52, the space assigned to the department has been expanded and extensively remodeled so that future laboratory courses will provide students with a wide range of experience in process, mechanical, and physical metallurgy as well as engineering problems. Shop, photographic, heating, forming, and instrumentation facilities arc provided. The research program includes the thesis work of graduate students and special contracts supported by industry and many government agencies. Most of these programs arc unclassified and the results are published by several metallurgical societies. . . . . testing and polishing devices Af. Evan, C. Wukusick, G. Derge, ). Walker, B. Speranza metals club The Metals Club was founded early in the history of the Metallurgical Department, and is an affiliated student chapter of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers. The purpose of this organization is to develop professional interests and promote closer personal relationships between students in the department. With this goal in mind, the Club has organized teams to play in the Intramural sports program. In addition to those activities, the program includes monthly social and technical meetings, plant inspection trips, an annual picnic, and cooperation with various technical societies in the metallurgical field. The voice of the Metals Club is The Ladle, a monthly publication, which publishes articles on ail sorts of subjects, with the slant, of course, toward metallurgy. This departmental paper is edited entirely by students and is sent to alumni all over the world. engineering . ... to heat treating furnaces and department Glowing tube demonstrates operation of micro-wave generator Setup to measure Hall effect in ferro-magnetic materials EDWARD CREUTZ Department Head Several years of hard work by the department staff bore fruit early in 1952 when final tests of the 400 million electron-volt synchro-cyclotron were completed. The giant machine was ready to begin unlocking some of the secrets of atomic structure for the scientific world. The Nuclear Research Center at Saxonburg, home of the cyclotron, also contains a modem low-temperature laboratory with equipment capable of producing temperatures within two degrees of absolute zero. Complete living facilities, including dormitories and a cafeteria, arc provided for the scientists and technicians at the Center. With a teaching staff of eighteen (including Professors Estcrmann, Corben, and Kohn, who arc on leave) the Department of Physics, under the direction of Dr. Edward Creutz, seeks to provide the undergraduate student with a sound knowledge of basic principles and to develop his ability to analyze a wide range of problems. A graduate enrollment of over fifty students, many of whom arc doing some of their work at Saxonburg, is one of the largest in the school. A welcome change for many students was the completion of a ground level entrance to the Physics wing of Engineering I lall. This is part of an extensive improvement program started last year which saw the modernization of many laboratories and offices and the moving of others.

It is the one department that is common to every student on the campus. The courses which come under the jurisdiction of Dean Glen Cleeton include English, economics, psychology, history, public speaking, foreign languages, and physical education. By integrating these courses with those in specialized fields, the department turns a technically trained engineer or home economist into a well rounded citizen who is aware of some of the social, political, and economic problems which confront the world today. Besides these many courses, there are two departments which are under the direction of the Division of Humanistic and Social Studies— the Department of Industrial Management and the Department of Printing Management. These two schools are the most famous ones of their kind in the United States, and their graduates fill responsible positions in industry, both in production and administration. GLEN II. CLEETON, Dean GEORGE L. BACH, Department Head July saw the steelwork completed tlepartwncnt of L. Dyer, W. Gicrl, J. Gill, j. Davidson society for the advancement of mttnagement The Carnegie chapter of the Society for the Advancement of Management, a junior branch of the national organization, strives to further scientific management through better understanding of the professional application of good management principles. To develop efficiency through the study and practical use of the principles and methods of management was the primary purpose for its founding here. The local chapter attends many of the important industrial conferences conducted by the senior group in the immediate area. Administrative personnel from corporations and unions address the group at informal seminars which, together with field trips, supplement the Carnegie curriculum. Membership in the Society is open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors in the Department of Industrial Management. Although faculty sponsorship is available, most of the emphasis is placed on student organization and participation. In 1949 a gift of six million dollars from the W. T. Mellon Foundation made it possible for Carnegie Tech to establish the first graduate school of industrial administration in the United States. The most important aim of the Department of Industrial Management is to combine engineering and science with management-economics so that students may be prepared to accept the respon ibili-ties of management in industries where technical knowledge is an asset. When the new building for this department is completed, increased facilities will make possible its expansion. So far, it has been able to accept only a selected group of students for graduate study. The undergraduate school in Industrial Management is a combination of the departments of Management Engineering, Commercial Engineering, and Industries. It has strengthened and broadened its training in order to prepare its graduates to accept management positions in industry. Dr. Ccorge L. Bach, who heads this department, is a graduate of Grinnell College. 11c received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, and is a former Chief Economist of the Federal Reserve System of the United States. In December the brickwork was almost to the top industrial management Marginal propensity .... output .... total cost .... marginal cost . . . . department at A lesson in opaquing in Offset lab . The Dcpaitment of Printing Management at Carnegie is unique in that its students receive training in practically all phases of the graphic arts—nowhere else can such a background be obtained. Hence the demand for its graduates, who step into junior executive openings which lead to prominent positions after a few years’ training. Ordinarily in the printing industry, men are taken from the shop and put into these executive positions with little knowledge of how a business should be run. Or men with little experience in printing are thrust into these executive capacities, to be facet! with failure due to ignorance of what happens inside the shop. Carnegie men combine printing and management to form the know-how which is so important to a successful executive. The department underwent several changes this past year, most significant of which was the arrival of a new department head, Kenneth R. Burchard, a past member of the faculty and formerly offset sales manager for the American Type Founders. New equipment continued to arrive, as industry maintained its support of its sole source of future leaders. The senior class spent a week touring prominent printing plants on their annual trip in April and alumni came back en masse to visit their Alma Mater at Tech the traditional Reunion in Mav.

BURCHARD Department Head umerieun institute af gruphiv arts Operating folder in newly remodeled pressroom New Intertypes in Machine Composition lab The Carnegie Chapter of the American Institute of Graphic Arts, the first student chapter of the nationwide organization, has i this past year been in the process of reorganization. In line with the aims expressed in its constitution, plans are being made to expand the group’s activities to greater boundaries, to stimulate and encourage those engaged in the graphic arts in order to raise its standards and aid in its development. Thus it is hoped that plans will materialize — workshop groups in which interested students produce various memento pieces, discussion groups of artists and printers, lectures on the various phases of the graphic arts, and a number of worth-while exhibitions, including the “Fifty Books of the Year,” and “Printing for Commerce,” which have been so successful in previous years.

He is invited to join one big happy family of artists! Under one roof painters, actors, sculptors, architects, and musicians work in close co-ordination, no one art being isolated from another. In the classes which all have in common-history, English, and psychology—a musician can argue heartily with a painter, and an architect can exchange ideas with a dramat. In these non-technical courses the students learn how to overcome the professional and social problems to be encountered when they begin their careers. Around the building is tied such a strong bond of mutual love for the arts that both students and faculty arc conscious of being members of a huge audience of lovers of creative ability. The reputation of the college draws many students from a wide geographical area; so many in fact, that in addition to enforcement of strict scholastic requirements, technical tests are given to permit only those with the best professional promise to enter. Thus from the finest quality students and the wise instruction of the best professors come the outstanding Tech-trained artists of today.

JOI IN K. SHEAR, Department Head This department does not attempt to train draftsmen who are mechanically perfect in the methods of building construction, but through its carefully planned and well organized five-year program, it offers the student the fundamentals of professional subjects useful to him in his work as a registered architect. Drawing, drafting, theory of construction, and the principles, elements, and procedures of architectural design are a part of his technical training, i Iistory and elective subjects offer cultural enrichment. All of these try to stimulate the student’s interest and imagination, and supply the incentive for constant growth during his career. In order to attain professional standing in their chosen field, and to pass the registration examination which gives them a license to practice, students with T-square in hand arc often seen working together until the very early hours of the morning. The faculty are men of high professional standing, augmented by famous guest architects who give the students the benefit of their skill and experience. mu n i HENRY BOETTCHER Department Head department of drama The dramatic students at Tech—as nine out of ten people will agree— arc probably the busiest students on campus. In their four year course of study they gain experience in acting, playwriting, stage directing, and production. In class they gain a knowledge of the theater along literary and historical lines, taught by a faculty well-trained and experienced in the professional life of the theatre. Then, too, they get practical experience by acting, directing, or working on the stage crew in the six productions put on by the department annually. Some of the plays this year were Six Characters in Search of an Author,” Venus and Adonis,” The Merchant,” and an original play bv Joseph di Salvo, “No Ear for Treason.” The top production of the year was the performance of Shakespeare's “Hamlet.” The dramats have further opportunity to display their talents on the campus radio station, YVRCT; and often they take part in off-campus dramatic performances, particularly at the “Pittsburgh Playhouse. Late in the year when Spring Carnival time rolls around, they're often found in the starring roles of Scotch and S xla.“ In all the dramats gain a knowledge that is more than just technique; they achieve an understanding of all the broad forces that influence and make up that great world, “The Theater.” Drama students find that all stage work is not front, there is work . . . . Endless hours of practice . . . . tleparttnen t of music Like all the other departments at Carnegie Tech, the Department of Music attempts to give its students a balanced and integrated course of study. All incoming freshmen attend the same classes, but at the end of the year they must choose one of four options: music education, instrument, composition, or voice. The department also offers a five-year course which permits the student to obtain a degree in two major fields. The student’s technical training is given major consideration in this department. Individual lessons are given to each student on both his major and minor instrument, and private lessons are given for voice majors. A number of performing groups help each member gain confidence in himself and his ability to perform for an audience. Concerts arc given by the symphony orchestra, chorus, string and wind ensembles, and chamber music groups. Smaller recitals arc held with individual soloists. Advanced students are given the opportunity to perform in Exhibition I tail or the Little Theater in the College of Line Arts. Outstanding students in departmental activities and scholarship arc recognized by election to one of the professional fraternities in the department -Sigma Alpha Iota and Phi Mu Alpha. phi mu ulpltu sin fun in A popular article of men’s sportswear around the Fine Arts building is the tee-shirt bearing the insignia of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, men’s national music honorary. The members of the fraternity, whose chapter on the campus is Alpha Omega, are chosen from the upper three classes of men active in the music department or in the Kiltie Band and ('.lee Club. Their purpose is fourfold: to advance the cause of music in America, to foster the mutual welfare and brotherhood of students of music, to develop the truest fraternal spirit among the members and to encourage loyalty to Alma Mater. Their main activity during the year is to sponsor a lecture and recital scries by well-known figures in music from both Tech and Pittsburgh. fb Hoy,). Zurosky, ). Carter, W. Johns, C.

I his women’s professional music fraternity has as its members those girls who are outstanding in scholarship and leadership as well as musical ability. Sigma Alpha lota presents to the students of Carnegie Tech prominent men and women active in the field of music, and in this way hopes to develop in them a knowledge and appreciation of both classical and contemporary music. The organization also aims to promote the highest professional ethics and cultural standards among music students in Fine Arts. During the year Alpha Mu chapter has sponsored recitals and social functions which help to promote a closer relationship between its members. . . . . fondling a chosen instrument . . . . . . .. account for a musician's time Students sketching students sketching Under the guidance of Wilfred A. Rcadio, students of Painting and Qesign receive a thorough professional training. During the first two years the students are given a background in design and in the practice of drawing with design in mind. In the junior year the student must choose one of the three majors offered by the department. In pictorial design, training is given in making pictures for use in illustration and advertising. The industrial design major is trained to solve problems which involve materials, production techniques, and costs. The art education major is trained to teach in elementary and secondary schools. These options permit the artist to choose the field for which he is best suited. In line with the general face-lifting on the campus, the physical surroundings of the department have been improved by the installation of a new and more adequate lighting system. Remodeled classrooms make the long hours spent in preparation of projects for judgment more pleasant.

Dean Margaret Morrison Carnegie College, or as it is commonly known on the Tech campus, Maggie Murph,” has an educational program which is preparing its students to meet constructively the confusions of life. Following the Carnegie Plan, this program combines the study of such basic courses as English, history, science, and psychology with the specialized training of Home Economics, General Science, Secretarial Studies, or Social Work. Although students spend most of their time in the junior and senior years preparing for their chosen professions, they are not narrowly confined to their major subjects. They are encouraged to take electives that will help them not only in their vocations, but also in their avocations by opening new channels of thought and broadening their horizons. Such education is aimed toward the fulfillment of the inscription around the court of Margaret Morrison G)IIege — to make and inspire the home; to lessen suffering and increase happiness; to aid mankind in its upward struggle; to enoble and adorn life's work however humble; these are women's high prerogatives,” The varied yet integrated knowledge gained here and applied to home, community, and nation will enable graduates to live up to this motto and make a valuable contribution to the building of a new and better world. department of general science Bacteriological lab work .... . . . . with plates and slides and stuff The programs of study in the Department of General Science encourage the development of creative work and independent thinking, rather than concentrating only on acquiring technical skill in laboratory work in biology, bacteriology, biochemistry, inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry, or for graduate study in chemistry or biology. Careers in nursing, medicine, and teaching arc open to the General Science graduate. The department has laboratories for physiology, biochemistry, physics, and bacteriology. Math and physics courses are required for all students in order to make them more conscious of the re-latonship and interdependence of all sciences. Many elective subjects provide science majors the opportunity to study outside their specialized field. 1 he department is under the capable direction of Professor Harold L. I-ang, who was recognized this fall for his thirty-five years of teaching at Carnegie Tech. In honor of the occasion both alumnae and present members of the science department gathered to dedicate a new Seminar Room to Dr. Lang. IIAROLD L. LANG Who needs a husband? Department I lead department of general studies The General Studies Department headed by Miss Ethel Spencer offers to the undergraduate student a program of study similar to that offered in most liberal arts colleges. Not only does the student receive a broad academic education, but she specializes in any one of eight fields—mathematics, English, modern languages, homemaking, social studies, history, economics, and psychology. Teacher training programs in English, history, modern languages, mathematics, and social studies make possible certification for teaching in secondary schools upon graduation. • Students majoring in General Studies receive a background for work toward a more advanced degree. They may choose to enter the arnegie Library School upon graduation or to go on in other fields for their masters or doctors degree. The General Studies department not only offers a well-defined and flexible program of education but also serves as a sound basis for more advanced study or professional work. And even more important it is an excellent preparation for life in today’s complex societv. ETHEL SPENCER, Department Head Everything from Home Economics to Biology Round and round we go! department of social work The Department of Social Work is divided into undergraduate anti graduate schools. In the undergraduate curriculum the student devotes two years to meeting the requirements in English, history, and science, and to elementary courses in sociology and psychology. The last two years arc devoted to economics and political sciences as well as more advanced courses in sociology and psychology. In the senior year qualified students are given limited assignments in group work. This program is not a substitute for graduate professional education, but it does prepare graduates for certain positions in social agencies. Upon completion of the four-year program the student receives a Bachelor of Science degree. In the graduate school emphasis is placed on the principles and philosophy underlying social work. Class work and field experience are integrated to develop the knowledge and skill required of social workers in government and voluntary agencies. This two-year course leads to the degree of Master of Social Work. This year four German exchange students took graduate courses under a program arranged by the State Department. Also the department enlarged the number of agencies being used for field work. Kingsley I louse and Torrence State I lospital provide additional field experience for graduate students. Qualified students who like people and enjoy helping others find social work an interesting and satisfying vocation in which there are many opportunities for employment. MARY CLARKE BURNETT Department Head department of Exercises in shorthand, typing . . . . MRS. EDITH YV. ALEXANDER Department Head The top-ranking training given to students of the Secretarial Department of Margaret Morrison Carnegie College has enabled its graduates to take responsible and leading positions in the business world. In accordance with the Carnegie Plan, the Maggie Murph secretaries develop not only technical skill and power but also analytical and creative ability to enable them to handle social and human problems which they must meet as graduates. The Department offers three options: the regular secretarial course, which provides technical training and the opportunity for electives in the junior and senior years; the teacher education course, which trains students to teach commercial subjects in junior and senior high schools, and the college graduate course, a one-year training course which gives a liberal arts graduate the essentials of business training. Mrs. Edith W. Alexander, Dean of Margaret Morrison Carnegie College and Head of the Secretarial Department, is kept busy writing references for girls after graduation. Because of the reputation established by successful alumnae, graduates ol the Secretarial Department are in constant demand. secretarial stallies secretarial club The Secretarial Club, sponsored by Mrs. Edith W. Alexander and the teachers of the Secretarial Department, is composed of all the girls in the department. The purpose of the club is to enable them to become better acquainted with each other and learn to work together. Activities this year included a Thanksgiving party in November for the senior class. A series of talks by visiting lecturers is being planned for the second semester. The purpose of these talks is to inform and aid the girls In-discussing the various opportunities, problems, and situa-ations which a secretarial student will meet after college, whether she plans to become a teacher or a career girl in the business world. It is hoped that these talks will give the Maggie Murph secretarials a better understanding of their future work. The officers of the club for 1951-52 were Joan Novack, president; Nancy Rausch, secretary-treasurer; and Ann Rose, social chairman. Row 1: N. Rausch, ). i ovack, A. Rose Row 2:). Steiner, R. Cray, M.

VIVIAN CROW Department Head The Department of Home Economics offers three major fields of study: teacher education, foods and nutrition, and clothing and textiles. The clothing and textiles course offers a clothing and design sequence for girls who arc especially interested in the tiesigning and construction of clothing. Or if some aspect of merchandising attracts the student, she is able to develop this interest through study of retailing. The foods and nutrition program meets the requirements of the American Dietetics Association for hospital, food clinic, and administrative internships. This major also prepares its girls for positions in restaurants, college food service, and commercial test kitchen work. The teaching major prepares the student for work in secondary schools, and is a well-rounded course for homemaking as well. Each major curriculum is supplemented by basic courses in English, history, economics, psychology, sociology, and science. Attention is given to methods of teaching to insure the development of such generalized abilities as analytical thinking, reasoned judgment, intelligent criticism, and aesthetic appreciation. Home Economics is a favored field for women since in this field the conflict between marriage and a career is at a minimum. The learning gained in any of the major courses can be applied in both areas. Nutrition majors become acquainted with metabolism while . . . . M. Figner, N. Metcalf, U. lillett, M. Roe, C. Fry, J.

Hundreds of meetings of campus organizations, innumerable parties, teas, banquets, and even occasional wedding receptions are held at the Union each year. Here at almost any hour of the day some student organization can be found hard at work', and here also many alumni and evening school functions arc held. Mrs. Rosalie Hagins, the gracious hostess at the Carnegie Union, is one of the busiest ladies on the l ech campus. During the past year Mrs. Hagins has welcomed approximately forty thousand people, and each year as attendance at the Union functions grows, this beautiful building becomes more and more the focal point for student activities.

Sick In September, 1951, another class of freshmen began their years at C1T. Full of enthusiasm for the new and strange and exciting routine of college life, the class plunged right into school activities. Actual class organization, however, did not come about until the end of the first semester when class officers were elected—Bill Sick, president; John Gallo, vice president of Fngi-necring and Science; Donald Limboli, vice president of Fine Arts; 1 homas Sutton, treasurer; and Fran Golden, vice president of MMCC and secretary. During the second semester these officers. working with their advisory board, sponsored swimming parties, picnics, and a booth at Spring Carnival. Next year the class of '55 hopes to organize early in the fall and thus open the way to a more active and useful school year. ). Seiner, S. Mackay, P. Drew, . Clark class of M The school year 1951 1952 finds the sophomore class continuing the fine work with which it closed its first year here at Carnegie. Linder the leadership of President Ned Clark, Vice-President Sage MacKav, Secretary Jerry Seiner, and Treasurer Rich Dill, the sophomores planned an all-school dance to be held at Webster I lall. Then, instead of borrowing the money from Student Council as is the usual procedure, the Sophs decided to raise their own money. This they did by selling group train tickets to New York at student discount rates. For weeks before every vacation or recess sophomores could be found industriously selling their wares in Skibo. Their efforts were rewarded by a large profit and the establishment of a new tradition. This year something new was added to the class organization. A council composed of representatives from the class aided the officers in their work. This innovation was found to lx- a very successful and efficient means of government. class af 933 After one of the hottest political campaigns in recent years, the new officers of the Class of 1953 got off to a go xl start this fall. The class was organized with able representatives from each department who formed an active group which could coordinate the activities of the entire class. The first class undertaking was the year’s most successful pep rally in conjunction with the Bethany-Carncgie football game, at which Rege Cordic was the Master of Ceremonies. Next on the calendar was the annual Sadie I iawkin’s Brawl, which was, as in past years, a great success. This spring the class is looking forward with high hopes to the Senior Ball, which the Junior Class will hold for the Seniors, and to Spring Carnival, at which the Juniors will sponsor a booth along with the other class organizations. As the first class in many years to go through Carnegie as an organized body for four years, the Juniors arc proud of their record and look forward to strengthening class ties in the future. P .

The custom was started by the charter class of 1908 and was carried on until World War II forced a discontinuation of class organization. Last September the class began its second year of organization. I he officers are Sam Cerni. President: Don Shaw, Vice President from Engineering and Science; Joan Novack, Vice President from Margaret Morrison; Geraldine Eiscnluith, Vice President from Fine Arts; Mildred Thompson, Secretary; and Clyde Freeman, Treasurer. The Class Cabinet which includes representatives from each department in each of the colleges was formed, and then things were ready to roll. The Senior Varieties of ’52, a stage show featuring senior class talent, proved to be a success, drawing a very large assembly audience. Tentative plans for the spring semester include a dance after the W J basketball game, the Senior Ball following Baccalaureate, and perhaps a class party. atmeran tlelta kappa Omicron Delta Kappa is the National Leadership Honorary Society for senior men. Its purpose is threefold. It seeks to recognize men who have attained a high standard of leadership in collegiate activities, to encourage them to continue along this line, and to inspire others to strive for similar outstanding attainment. Second, it brings together similar men in all phases of collegiate life and thus creates an organization which will help to mold the sentiment of the institution on questions of local and inter-collegiate interest. Third, it brings together members of the faculty and student body of the institutions on a basis of mutual interest, understanding, and helpfulness. Nationally, the honorary was founded in 1914 at Washington and Lee University. The Tech chapter was established in 1942 from a local organization known as the Dragon Society. Each year the organization assumes the sponsorship of Spring Carnival and shares the same duty at Homecoming with Mortar Board. In addition to this, each pledge chooses a project in which he writes an essay on some campus problem, analyzing, solving, and proposing a remedy for the situation. To complete his project, each pledge attempts to remedy the actual problem. These projects have been a valuable service to the Tech student body and administration. €pffic€� rs b. Updike, R.

The qualities of scholarship, leadership, and service are the criteria for election of members to Mortar Board. Members are selected each spring from the junior class. Election to Mortar Board is considered one of the highest honors a woman can achieve at l ech. One of the projects undertaken this year is the compiling of an illustrated handbook explaining the Carnegie Plan. This book not only aims to help freshmen, but also the other undergraduate classes. Prom the first week of school to the last, Mortar Board is active in campus affairs-beforc school opens a party is held for the transfer women students. Mortar Board works in conjunction with Omicron Delta Kappa to plan the I lomecoming weekend. An important function is the dessert bridge held to raise money for the Mortar Board Scholarship. The latter part of the year is devoted to the all school King of I leans dance and the initiation of new members. officers • Watterson, G. Eisenhuth, E. Lobl, R. Osborne Bow 1: M. rotter, S.

Plantz Carnegie Tech has had a hand since 1915, although kilts were not worn until the Tcch-Notre Dame game, November 25. 1922. Since this beginning the group has continued to grow both in numbers and repute until today it is recognized as the world's largest kiltie band and one of the country's outstanding college bands. Material for the kiltie uniform is imported from Scotland by way of Canada, the tartan being the Cameron of Erracht. The present band, under the direction of Prof. William A. Schaefer, is made up of two groups: the marching band with 106 members, led by drum major Mark Pancerev, and the symphonic band with 97 men. Most members belong to both groups. The pipers, directed by Mr. Lewis Davidson since eight pipes were donated by Mrs. Robert Doherty in 1941, appear with both bands as well as forming a separate organization. The marching band entertained football spectators at the Bethany, Case, Allegheny, Lehigh, W J, and Westminster games. New formations such as the “Thistle and a sitting “Scotty Dog, marked the season along with traditional formations such as the “Scotty Dog, “CT, and the band’s specialty—rapidly changing word formations. All were planned by a committee made up of band members under Mr. Schaefer’s guidance. I lighlights of the season were the trip to Cleveland and an appearance as the featured band at the New Kensington Band Festival. I lie Kiltie Symphonic Band put in its first appearance at the annual freshman lawn concert given early in the year. The I lomecoming Day ceremony and two concerts at Carnegie Music 1 lall on Feb. 15 and April 25 were the high spots of the concert season. 1 he band was active in other ways. Albums of Carnegie Tech songs, recorded by the band and glee club two years ago, were sold to earn money for uniforms and equipment, and in November the band held what it hopes will become an annual affair—a band formal with the concert uniform of kilts and tux jacket being the formal dress.

Seiner From Freshman Week through the entire school year, the Eta Chapter of Cwens, national sophomore women’s honorary, worked to enforce Freshman regulations and foster activities among freshman and sophomore women. In their red jumpers and gray jackets, Cwens returned to school in time to welcome the freshman women to More-wood Gardens and to assist at many events during Orientation Week. Later in the fall they helped supervise the freshman traditions examinations, planned the publicity campaign for the election of the Freshman Homecoming Queen, and helped organize a pep rally before the Tech-Lehigh football game. Additional activities included meetings with the Alpha Chapter from the University of Pittsburgh, a guide service in which Cwcn members took high school groups around the Tech campus, and at Christmas time, a party for the children at the Allegheny Temporary Children’s Home. Furthermore. Cwens were constantly on call to aid at off-campus affairs as well as at faculty and student functions. In the spring the girls became even better acquainted with the freshman women in an attempt to choose new members outstanding in scholarship, activities, and character. scimitars Scimitar Society, the sophomore men's honorary, elects its members from those freshmen who have bden outstanding in scholarship, leadership, and participation in extra-curricular activities. During the past year Scimitar Society, in cooperation with Cwens, has strictly enforced Freshman Regulations. Their activities in this field ranged from selling drinks at registration and administering traditions examinations to supervising the freshman-sophomore “push-ball” competition at Homecoming. In addition the society took an active part in I lomccoming and Spring Carnival celebrations, assisted at the president's reception, and during football season were co-sponsors of an all-school pep rally which was highlighted by an energetic mock Lehigh rally. Through active participation in school affairs, Scimitar Society has done much during the past year to foster good school spirit at Carnegie Tech. Row 1: F. Dill, P. Peoples, N. Kelly, P.

Although Claymore Clan derives its powers from Men’s Dormitory Council, the members are elected from all the residents of the men’s dormitories and are chosen on the basis of leadership and interest in promoting the welfare of their fellow students. Outstanding activities of Claymore Clan include the sponsoring of an all-dorm Wild West Party in Boss and McGill 1 falls, helping with distribution of keys to incoming students, and assisting with setting up the Red Cross Blood-mobile in the Carnegie Inn.

Freeman ytnca On the evening of Sunday, March 18, 1951, the Carnegie Tech Branch of the Young Men’s Christian Association celebrated 30 years of service on the Carnegie campus. A request, made by campus leaders through student council in 1921, was granted by President I lamerschlag. and Rollin C. Davis was brought to the campus as resident secretary. A constitution was adopted, and its purpose stated— ... to serve the men of Carnegie Institute of Technology, regardless of Creed, ... to surround the students with such influences as shall help them to live clean lives and lead them into active church relationships, ... to promote fellowship and aggressive Christian work ... to train the members and others for lives of service for their fellowmen. Today, with a membership of 751 students, the YMCA takes an active part in campus affairs. by aiding freshmen and by sponsoring retreats, weekly chapel services. Religious Discussion Week, and holiday dinners. As to the future, it seems clear that there still remains a great need for continuing all our religious programs. fftvca The purpose of the YWCA is to serve the social, intellectual, moral, physical, and spiritual interest of women students. The organization is under the leadership of a student cabinet made up of representatives from each class who work with an Advisory Board of faculty members, wives of the faculty, and honorary members. The Y sponsors a Big-Little Sister program whereby each freshman woman is greeted by a big sister when she enters school, and is accompanied bv her to the traditional Big and Little Sister Tea and later to a Cider Party. In conjunction with the YMCA, the YW held two retreats this year, along with sports, discussions, Sunday Evening Supper Meetings in Morewood Gardens, and the Christmas Orphans Party at the Juvenile Court. Its annual St. Valentine’s Day Cookie Sale was a huge success, enabling the organization to send two representatives to the Michcaux Conference in June. The big project of the year was the YWCA sponsorship of a DP student, Julius Foris from 1 lungarv. He came in October, worked on our campus, and enrolled in an Art Course in Fine Arts. Row 1: M.

Director Recognizing the need for a mixed choral group on the Tech campus, the Men's and Women's Glee Clubs combined in September under the name Cameron Choir. The specific purposes of the Cameron Choir arc: to ere ate a closer bond of fellowship among students from the different departments and colleges of the Institution; to represent the Carnegie Institute of Technology musically both on and off the campus; and to provide all Tech students the opportunity to enjoy and participate in choral music. The choir of over 100 members has completed a full schedule of activities. Among these were concerts at Chapel Services, high schools, churches, Homecoming, Spring Carnival, and the Aspinwall Veterans’ I lospital. I he highlight of the year was the Spring Concert presented at Carnegie Music Hall. Under the capable direction of Richard L. Camp and its officers, Robert I locker, manager; Eunice Brunn, assistant manager; Gerald Lessmann, secretary; Jewel Hairston, librarian; John Laynor, assistant librarian; and Dale Alexy, student director and accompanist, the Cameron Choir was warmly received both off and on campus. reserve officers traininy corps The increasing gravity of world conditions during the past year has made more acute the previous need for reserve Army officers. The enrollment of the Carnegie Tech ROTC unit has correspondingly grown even larger than in the past in order to supply this demand for Signal Corps and Corps of Engineers reservists. The cadet regiment this year was composed of eight companies forming two hattallions. In charge of the unit were Colonel D. A. Morris, the new professor of military science and tactics; Major l . A. Lord, of the Corps of Engineers; and Major E. (� . W illiamson and Captain 11. R. Smith, of the Signal Corps. The two-year basic course is comprised of one year of general military subjects and a second year of specialized training in signal and engineer fundamentals. In the two-year advanced course this specialization is intensified and supplemented by a six-week summer camp course between the two advanced course years. The Signal Corps camp is at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey; while the Corps of Engineer training is at Tort Bclvoir, Virginia.

Mclhried tie bate club The Carnegie Institute of Technology Debating Society, since resuming activity in 1947 after a wartime lull, has made steady progress in regaining for l ech a leading place among Eastern collegiate debate organizations. During the 1950-51 season. Tech actively cooperated with Pitt. Duquesne, Mt. Mercy, and other nearby schools in conducting a series of tournaments to provide debaters, particularly those without previous exi� erience. ample opportunity to participate in intercollegiate competition. Teams from Carnegie t� x k part in tournaments at Kent. Ohio. I rcdcricksburg. Virginia, and Philadelphia. Washington, State College, Meadvillc, and Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania. On April 28. 1951, the Society sponsored the first Carnegie Tartan Debate Tournament. Coming late in the season when all teams have had much experience, this tournament may be considered a kind of intercollegiate debate championship. Twenty-two schools attended the first tournament. The team from Howard University, Washington, I). C., won the tournament and permanent possession of the trophy. It is planned to make the tournament an annual feature of the debate season. pi delta epsilon Although Pi Delta Epsilon is not a professional journalistic fraternity, its ideals are those held by professional writer; truth and service keynote the national code of the fraternity. Pi Delta Epsilon, as a journalistic honorary, has as its further aim the recognition and development of outstanding undergraduate journalists. The Carnegie Tech chapter strives to provide good understanding and a spirit of cooperation between the various publications on campus. With this goal in mind PiDE has initiated a publication forum at which the major officers of the Tartan, Scot, Thistle, and Technical discuss and solve joint problems of management and operation. The need for close cooperation has long been felt on Tech’s campus, and Pi Delta Epsilon believes the forum is a great stride toward this goal. In addition, PiDE has revised and published a new Student Handbook which contains complete information on campus life. At Carnegie Day each year Pi Delta Epsilon calls outstanding campus journalists to its ranks. Through this call those people who have worked tirelessly and without recognition on publications are honored for their efforts. Thus PiDE serves both to link campus groups and further fine journalistic work. Row 1: AT Sweeney, G. Good, S. Ploeger Row 2: F. Sonnenberg, B. Tarmy. P. West, W. Keirce Row 3: B. Way man, D.

It is composed of a president, vice president, secretary, and freshman representatives from each hall, plus officers elected from the previous year’s members. Council, in conjunction with the counselors, supervises dormitory discipline and handles any special problems which may arise. It provides athletic equipment of all kinds for dorm residents—even an outdoor basketball court is Wing planned this year. Another important aim of Council is to provide a well-balanced social program for dorm residents. During orientation week, it sponsors the freshman dorm smoker. Besides encouraging individual dorm parties, each year it sponsors two off-campus semi-formals anti a spring picnic in South Park. A new project this Christmas was a party for underprivileged children. Council is continuing its weekly program of movies at the Carnegie Inn. showing full length features every Thursday—comedies, mysteries, and musicals—using the projector purchased by the organization two years ago.

The purpose of Dorm Council is to make Morewood Gardens the best possible college home and to act as an intermediary between dorm residents and the Deans. Each week meetings are held in the spacious Dorm Council room to discuss current problems and hear violations of dormitory rules. During the year Dorm Council sponsors many social activities. Starting the first week of school, it gives a get-acquainted party for all freshmen living in the dorm. Council also sponsors open houses at Homecoming and Spring Carnival. This year Dorm Council worked on the possibility of having washing machines in the basement for the convenience of � hc dormitory'residents.

Somerville undergraduate advisory committee A hard working unsung group is the Undergraduate Advisory Committee which analyzes and helps solve problems concerning student welfare and the general improvement of Tech. It works with other campus groups, in some cases helping to initiate and carry out these organization's plans. Individuals as well as these groups may present problems of a campus-wide nature to the UAC, a direct link between students and the administration. The committee meets when its members, the President, or the Dean of Students deems it necessary. At these meetings the objective is not only to present a problem but also to determine and then adopt a reasonable solution. Among the many problems this year’s committee has dealt with are the success of Homecoming; the establishment of a better Lost and Found Department, a long time objective of Alpha Phi Omega; and in conjunction with Student Council, the organization of pep rallies. The nucleus of the committee usually comes from Omicron Delta Kappa, but its membership is not restricted to these men. At present there arc only five members, but new ones can be added at any time until the group reaches its maximum membership of eight. Students who have demonstrated leadership and good citizenship arc appointed to the committee by President Warner on the recommendation of the outgoing group. The selection of members is not meant to provide representation. Rather the committee seeks to gather together individuals whose demonstrated ability and interest will help to make Carnegie Tech a better school. ). Pecenka, W. Ncilson, T. Astle, D. Schumacher, L. Dyer spring carnival committee The 1952 Spring Carnival Committee began meeting early in the fall in preparation for the biggest weekend of the school year. The nucleus of the committee was made up of members of Omicron Delta Kappa, senior men’s activities honorary. To this group were added other outstanding men and women from the student body. Individual committee heads were appointed early in the year and the work proceeded rapidly. Two big dances again highlighted the calendar for the weekend. Following past precedent, the float parade, the pushmobile races, varsity varieties, the coronation of a queen, and call day were jammed into the exciting week-end. Finally the weekend was over, and the Committee's job was finished for another year. Row 1:). Herrington, M. Baker, N. Simon, G. Wilson, D. Schumacher, R. Lynch, R. Mangold, R. Neuman Row 2: W.

The Student Council is an organization composed of undergraduate students of the four colleges and has jurisdiction over all student organizations and activities except those specifically trusted to one of the other governing groups. Council must approve the budgets of all-school functions, supervise publications, make recommendations to the Administration about campus problems, and be responsible for the school social calendar. It is also trusted with such duties as are necessary to “establish and perpetuate school spirit, custom, and traditions.” One noteworthy accomplishment of Council this past year was the passing of an amendment to the Constitution, reducing its size to one-half its former membership. Each college now has one voting member on Council for ever)' two hundred students. Another amendment adopted this year made class presidents non-voting members of Council. Other leading accomplishments in the past year have been the sponsoring of the Campus Chest Drive and the Red Cross Blood Drive, the planning of four pep rallies, and the passing of a plan to enforce freshmen regulations.

Lynch tau beta pi The purpose of Tau Beta Pi is to recognize students and alumni who have conferred honor on their Alma Mater with outstanding achievements in the field of engineering. From a single chapter, founded at Lehigh in 1885, the organization has grown to be one of the most prominent of professional honor-aries, with ninety undergraduate chapters and 70,000 members in the engineering profession; Pennsylvania Gamma was established at Carnegie l ech in 1916 as one of the first professional organizations on campus. I au Beta Pi has continued its tutoring service. adopting a plan of individual tutoring. It again wrote, edited, and published the Tau Beta Pi issue of the Technical in the spring. At Carnegie Day it initiated a new award, recognizing the Outstanding Member of the Engineering Freshman Class, based on the same criteria used for selection of members. Two lectures were given on the theory and use of the slide rule, and the graduate school catalog file was kept up to date. With scholarship as the basic requirement, Tau Beta Pi seeks men of high integrity, breadth of interest, adaptability, and unselfish interest in campus affairs. This fall twenty-one men were found who met these qualifications and were called to membership during the Carnegie Day ceremonies. Row 1: R. Byrne, R. Lipp, C. Hadley, IV. Hughes, I). Schumacher, M.

Lach Citcom Clan is an organization of commuters which attempts to provide a social life for its members comparable to that of the resident students. Citcom started off the year with two mixers, one for freshmen and the other for commuters. The annual Thanksgiving Twirp Dance turned conventions topsy turvy by giving clan girls an opportunity to pay for entertaining their favorite male, while the big Chrismas formal brought things back to normal again. Even cold weather could not put a stopper on clan activities, for an indoor picnic was held during the winter months. Clan life, nevertheless, is not entirely social. There were many yearly projects, the first of which was the King of Hearts campaign. Following this, the work on Spring Carnival began. Buggy blueprints were revised, a super skit for the Varsity Varieties was written and rehearsed, and booth plans were started. Spirited participation in many intramural ’sports was also one of the important Clan activities. tarquans The Tarquan swimming club aims to promote and develop the skills and techniques needed in the production of water ballets. It is composed of a group of girls interested in synchronized swimming. From its small beginnings several years ago, I'arquans has expanded rapidly into a large and active organization. Immediately after tryouts for new members in the fall, old and new Tarquans begin to prepare for the spring show, which this year was based on an imaginative jungle motif. The club has successful produced three yearly shows, and the members have gradually taken over complete responsibility for their production, composition, and direction. The Tarquans work many hours in preparation for their shows, but they feel that their efforts are well rewarded by the satisfaction gained from creating and presenting something worthwhile for both participant and audience.

These men have created the organization to promote further interest in intercollegiate sports, both through greater social recognition and through closer cooperation with the administration. The Varsity C Club started the year with the first all-school dance, which, along with the Parents Day Program, proved a final touch to the Skibos first football win of the season. I laving one success on the record, the Varsity C Club ventured into more serious business. The administration, faced with an athletic fund shortage, called on the C Club, and together they formulated a new athletic award policy to replace the yearly sweater and letter award. A Key award by the C Club to seniors outstanding in sports was also discussed and proposed for the future. By way of these activities and others to come, the Varsity C Club hopes to maintain its present prestige and grow into a still larger and more active organization. Row 1: G. Dissen, D. Startzell, I.

Halkas The Women’s Athletic Association, an organization in which all undergraduate women are members, is governed by an executive board made up of those students who have done the most to fulfill its purpose. The organization attempts to develop physical efficiency, a sense of fair play, and a spirit of friendship among its members. .1 Iighlighting the year’s activities was the establishment of an intramural sports program. This program provides an opportunity for those who don’t have the time, interest, or skill for participation in intercollegiate sports to get together a group of their friends and play against teams of equal ability. Competition may be in any of the individual or group sports offered by the Women’s Athletic Department. In its initial year this program attracted numerous entries from sororities, student organizations, and dorm groups in volleyball, basketball, swimming, and softball. Individual tournaments were also held in tennis, archery, ping-pong, and badminton. Intercollegiate competition was continued with the WAA playing Pitt, PCW, and the faculty in the several team sports; a coed Square Dance Club was also organized. This year’s program was very successful with many new participants coming out for intramurals and many veterans returning for both intramural and intercollegiate competition. scabbard and blade Scabbard and Blade, the national honorary military society for cadet officers, has chapters at all of the universities and colleges where there arc Departments of Military Science and Tactics. Although the Charter Company was founded in 1904 at the University of Wisconsin, the Carnegie Tech Chapter, Company G, 6th regiment, was not formed until 1926. All chapters strive to raise the standards of military training in American colleges, to foster greater unity among the military departments of all schools, and to encourage and foster the qualities essential for the training of good and efficient officers. Members are chosen on the basis of their military work and fellowship. During the year the C1T chapter of Scabbard and Blade sponsors numerous social and educational activities. The Military Ball, its biggest, social function, was once again a huge success. In addition the organization’s program of activities includes intramural rifle matches and movies. Row I: . Maloney, R.

Anderson alumni Alumni are—or should be—partners with their Alma Mater in the tremendous job of education. Carnegie, after all, is an instrument—a means, not an end—by which society can improve itself, and the alumni stand as the strong right arm in articulating and activating the educational program. We may be the architects of a greater Carnegie through enlightened and sustained interest and understanding. All graduates of Carnegie and all former students who have left school in good standing are members of the Alumni Federation. Realizing the importance of the continued and sustained interest of the alumni, the school provides a budget for alumni activity expense each year. John Elliott holds the important job of Alumni Secretary. I le maintains an up to date record of all alumni, and is editor of the Carnegie Alum-nus, a bi-monthly news magazine.

While last year it broadcast only four nights a week, three hours a night it has been on the air this year five hours a night, five nights a week and hopes to increase this to a six day week, Sunday through Friday. The main fare this year has been Army, Navy, and Treasury Department programs, variety shows such as Twenty Questions, music, and disc jockey programs such as Rcge Cor-dic’s. An ambitious effort was made early in the year to broadcast a drama program. Broadcasting under the name of In Search of the Air, the station produced two plays. Plans include an audiogossip column and coverage of school activities. A descendant of WCIT, WRCT transmits by carrier current signal rather than by radiation as do commercial broadcasting stations. From the studio in the basement of Carnegie Union an audio signal . . . . comes noise and chatter . . . . is sent over leased telephone lines to transmitters in More-wood Gardens and Boss I lall. By next year it is hoped dial a transmitter can be installed in one of the fraternity houses to cover the Greeks. In the transmitters the audio frequency signal is used to modulate a 670 kilocycle carrier which reaches listeners, tuned in to 670 on their radios, via the power lines. The engineering staff of the last two years designed and built all the technical facilities and ironed out the difficulties that use of carrier current signals entail. This year under its present staff of fifty, twenty of whom are engineers, WRCT is on a smooth running basis. officers . ... of all descriptions, and music D. Berman, ). Herrington, B. Padolf, H. Alexander canterbury club Sixteen years ago Tech Canterbury Club came into being through the efforts of the Rev. Hugh S. Clark, and under his guidance it has become one of the outstanding Canterbury Clubs in the country. In 1948 the Club obtained a “home”—Canterbury House—on campus; this is the center for all of its activities. And in these not only Episcopalians but students of many other faiths take part. The main meetings of the Club are on Sunday evenings in the House: supper is served, then follows an informal discussion or talk—oftentimes by a member of Tech's faculty. Topics have ranged from reviews of great books to discussions of philosophies and to analysis of Church I listory. A Chapel service completes the meeting. On Thursday mornings at 7:30 a Communion Service is afforded by the Compline Service the evening before. One of the most important activities of the Club are the field trips, made on one Sunday each month, when a group travels to a mission in the Pittsburgh Diocese and conducts a service. Other activities of the Club have included a Spring picnic, and the planning, cooking, and serving of a pancake supper for .he parishioners of the Church of the Redeemer. And—few people who have walked across the Cut during Spring Carnival and have had the urge to play golf will forget how they wished to burn every golf club in existence after playing a round at Canterbury Club's Belly-Acres Country Club”! focal plane The Focal Plane—Men’s Dormitory Camera Club—was founded in September 1950 by Claymore Clan “to provide the Men’s Dormitory residents with recreational opportunities in the field of photography and to create a closer bond of fellowship among the dormitory residents.” Its constitution was approved by Men’s Dormitory Council which also granted a sum of money to be used for darkroom equipment. The club struggled for the first semester of its existence, for it did not have the one item which is important to all camera clubs—a darkroom. During the second semester, two adjoining rooms in the basement of Carnegie Union were secured, but they were not outfitted as darkrooms until this year. In addition to sponsoring monthly print contests; the club sponsored a salon which was hung in the Union this spring. Among the club's other activities are darkroom classes for the inexperienced photographer, field trips to scenic areas, and lectures on photographic techniques. international club I he aim of the International Club is to promote among students a better knowledge and understanding of various countries of the world. The influence and training in tech- nica! fields which both American and Foreign students undergo during their period of study in college can be fruitfully complemented by activities that provide opportunities to meet new people, new ideas, or to visit American cities. A luncheon meeting is held every Tuesday at More-wood Gardens with a speaker and a discussion. The various topics reveal facets of life in the USA and life in countries of various members of the club (35 nationalities are represented). Since detailed development of such topics is not possible in the limited time available, the practical aim is to arouse interest for such subjects and intimate friendly relations among members and visitors. Other activities of the club have also attracted sizeable groups of students and visitors. These include tea parties with singing and games, picnics, dinners prepared by some nationality groups of the club, discussions with other organized groups, Christmas caroling in hospitals, and trips to some other cities of the USA. iafa An active Zionist organization on Carnegie Tech's campus is the Intercollegiate Zionist Federation of America, Pittsburgh Metropolitan Chapter, which includes students from the local Pittsburgh colleges. As part of a national student-run federation, 1ZFA members try to bring a clear and sympathetic understanding of Israel, Zionism, and current Jewish affairs to the American campus community. As a unit 1ZFA is multi party, yet non-partisan, for members represent all Zionist parties, and the organization doesn’t follow any party line policy. The most outstanding project undertaken by the IZFA chapter this year was the book drive for the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. In addition to educational programs dealing with the history and development of Israel, the IZFA members participated in holiday celebrations, and particularly, in observation of Israeli Independence Day. The Pittsburgh Chapter of Intercollegiate Zionist Federation of America is in the MARS (Middle Atlantic Region States) region, one of nine units across the country. Periodical seminars sponsored by the region were attended by local members. ncwmun club The Newman Club, Catholic student organization, has finished this highly successful year with nearly two hundred members. In fulfilling its three aims—religious, intellectual, and social—the Newman Club this year began several worthwhile propeets, including an all-school assembly program, serving as guides for the Blind Bowling League, blood campaign support, and donation of many magazine subscriptions to the library and individuals. Regular monthly Communion Breakfasts, weekly religious discussions by the chaplain. Rev. Regis Berkmyre, and by Rev. Gordon F. Knight, C.S.Sp., retreats for men and for women, a I loly Year pilgrimage, and a special program for Religious Discussion Week, rounded out the Catholic Action program for the year. The social whirl began in September with the women’s tea and the men’s smoker. Highlights throughout the year were the fall and spring picnics held by the Pittsburgh Intercollegiate Federation of Catholic Student Organization, of which the Tech Newman Club is a member; the Federation dances at the four member schools; the spaghetti dinner following the Lehigh football game; the winter party; and the Federation semi-formal at Westview Danceland. The Club was very active in Intramural sports, with teams entered in football, volleyball, bowling, basketball, handball, and softball. Members played teams from Pitt and Duquesne in football, bowling, basketball, and softball, and also sponsored teams in the newly organized women's intramural program. outing club The Carnegie Tech Outing Club, an affiliate of the In-ter-Collcgiatc Outing Club Association of Eastern Colleges, w s founded in 1950 to provide an opportunity for those students interested in outdoor activities to participate in group camping, canoeing, hiking, cave-exploring, and skiing trips. By pooling available outdoor equipment and knowledge of the nearby areas and facilities, and by acting as a center for organized group action, the club hopes to foster more and better-prepared outdoor activities of all kinds. In the past year the TOC has organized overnight and weekend camping trips, a canoe trip in Somerset County, cave exploring expeditions, and hikes to several places in Western Pennsylvania. Each year several representatives go to the national conference held somewhere in the New England states. sky-bos The Sky-bos, Tech’s flying club, was founded in the fall of 1950 to enable students of CIT to earn their student pilot licenses and to learn the fundamentals of air navigation, aircraft engines, and theory of flight at as cheap a rate as possible. Cheaper rates for flying time have been obtained by flying as a club at the Pitt-Wilkins airport. At present the club is completing the purchase of an airplane to further lower flying rates. Mr. Gustafson of the mathematics department, as faculty advisor of the club, has instructed classes in dead-reckoning, and other elements of air navigation. Classes in aircraft structure, aircraft covering, etc., have been taught by members who have served in the air services previous to their arrival at Tech. The club plans to supplement its classes on flight with movies in the near future. t athletics If II athletics football basketball track ton a is a� if cross co a a try strintming intramural sports athletic department CLARENCE OVEREND, Director It was in 1905 that the first athletic team was organized at Tech, and it was also in 1905 that Clarence Overend was first associated with Tartan athletics. Buddy was the organizer and captain of the men who formed the hockey team which first played Yale at The Gardens. Since then the name of Overend has been synonymous with athletics at Tech. From 1920 to 1923 he was president of the Athletic Board, and from 1927 to 1937 Mr. Overend served as Graduate Athletic Manager. He was then ap| ointed Director of Athletics—a post he has held until this year when he will retire after 47 years of service with the Plaid. While under his direction, Tech has produced teams that have been recognized nationally as tops in their field and, more recently, teams that have been recognized for their success in a de-emphasized setup. Friendly athletic relations have been established with schools all over the country due to his efforts. Few schools have had the honor of such a long and pleasant association with a man whom all can truly call “Buddy. We wish him a happy and pros|x?rous life in the years to come. ✓ Wilson and Bethany representative dance sacred ceremonial steps around Cod I'ootball faotball9 fall 1051 The football fortunes of Carnegie Tech have come a long way since the bleak days of 1948, a year which 1952 grads will remember vaguely as their freshman year. Doubtless many things befuddled us in those first few months of our budding college careers. There was a thing called the “Carnegie Plan and of course, the athletic policy which saw our gridiron contingent extend its winless string to 24 straight. Many who read this now took part in a violent protest against such a hopeless record with demands of “We want football.’’ But the policy and the late President Robert E. Doherty stood fast, so it remained for a determined squad of men with a play for glory spirit, and an equally determined and skillful new coach to provide a winning brand of football. It was the last game of that 1948 season when a then lean freshman named Johnny Luchok was sprung loose by his desperate teammates to sprint 50 yards through the mud at Grove City and give Carnegie Tech its fiist victory since 1942! This victory, together with the appointment of Dentist Dr. Eddie Baker as head coach, delivered the needed transfusion which has since revitalized a generally anemic condition in intercollegiate athletics at Tech. Under Baker’s experienced hand and expert tutoring, which won him the respect and faith of the players, Carnegie turned in a record of 4 wins, 3 losses, and one tie during the next campaign. The long move up was climaxed by a great 7-1 record last season. Dr. Baker and his staff have stuck to the popular winged-T offense since installing it here in 1949—a system calculated to get the most mileage out of the available material. That this brand of wide open football has provided more thrills for the fans as well as victories for “Dear Old Tech is unquestioned. During this new regime we have seen develop five of the finest footballers that have worn the Carnegie Plaid in the last decade: Nick Simcic, Floyd Wiseman, Fritz Wilson, Lou Fougerc and Johnny Luchok. The loss of three of these by graduation last June foretold trouble ahead unless Coach Baker and his able staff could fill in the glaring voids. The switching of I.uchok to Simcic’s vacant left-half spot and promotion of Irv Shechter to the starting right-half position filled out an otherwise solid -backfield of Arne Obcrg at fullback and Quent 1 loltz at quarterback. Gil Dissen, the extra-point specialist, ‘Fed Leaman, quarterback, and Bill Kennedy, a freshman halfback, all saw considerable service in the first string lineup as alternates. A most pleasant surprise of this season was the blossoming of basketball star Tom Craig as an aggressive, glue-fingered end in his first attempt at football since his enrollment two years ago. Craig’s rugged defensive play and his pass-snagging ability gave Tech a big lift at his right-end spot; he and twice all-district Class B end, Fritz Wilson, provided top targets for the well aimed aerials of Quent I loltz. The combination of Moltz-to-Wilson and Holtz-to-Craig accounted for most of the 778 yds. total yardage gained via the air lanes this season. The other line vacancy was ably filled by experienced veterans such as George Rusnak and Bob Odch. The return of. veteran tackles 1 Ians Lange, Clyde Stable and Joe Galanda; guard. Merman Whitcnight and Jim Vodenichar; and center Chuck Fuellgraf gave the Tartans a rough, tough, well tested line. Clyde Stahle was also given recognition on the all-district Class B first team, and Mans Lange received second team honors Holtz to Wilson—another short one completed Eurhythmies class in Tech Bowl for his fine play up front this season. Journeying to California, Pa., for their opener with California State Teachers College, the Plaid found themselves facing a tough assignment. The Vulcans, who were to enjoy one of their best seasons and later play in the Pithian Bowl, displayed a bruising ground attack. The single-wingers relentless rushes dominated the game, although the Tech passing attack led by Luchok, Leaman, and Holtz accounted for both Carnegie scores on two long and sudden thrusts. When the last whistle sounded, the Vulcans had ground out a well deserved 14-IS verdict. It was a different story the following Saturday, however, when the Skibos returned to the friendly confines of Forbes Field to vanquish Bethany College 47-20. The Plaid operated in high gear as they went through, around, and over the out classed Bisons from West Va. The running of Johnny Luchok and the passing of Holtz and Leaman featured the rout in which the entire Carnegie bench saw action. The following Saturday night in Akron’s Rubber Bowl the Tartans outscrapped and outscored Akron U s Zips to win 42-32. The game provided the tops in thrills for visiting Carnegie fans as the lead changed hands six times before time ran out with Tech on the long end.

Shcchter and Holtz also contributed outstanding performances in the backfield while Wilson and Stable sparkled at their forward wall positions. Back home at Forbes Field for the Homecoming game against Allegheny, the Plaid reached their season's peak in treating the alumnae to a spectacular display of running, passing, blocking, and tackling. The passing of Qucnt Holtz and running of Arne Oberg turned the game into a rout early and gave the second and third stringers a chance to sec action. Oberg and Lcaman consistently stopped the 'Gator’s passing attempts with interceptions, while the hard charging line bottled up most of their ground efforts. Five passes were intercepted by Tech defenders during the afternoon. Traveling to Cleveland the following week to meet Case Tech, the Skibos surprised the Rough Riders with three quick touchdowns in the first half, two on runs by Luchok. However, a sudden downpour near the end of the first half slowed the faster but lighter Scots, and their offense was mired down for the rest of the afternoon. A flurry of passes by the Riders brought two touchdowns in the second half, but an alert recovery of a Case fumble by Jim Vodenichar and a timely interception by Tom Craig stopped two Case thrusts that had carried to the shadow of the Carnegie goal. Spirited line play smothered desperate Case attempts near the end The Kilties present their ustial fine half time show Musical chairs under the watchful eye of Energetic Ed Higher, higher, bony knees and all and preserved a well earned 18-13 victory. At Little Washington,” the Skibos rang up their fifth straight with a win over a fighting Washington and Jefferson eleven. Touchdowns by 1 loltz, Shechter, and Leaman featured the 18-0 victory in a game played on a snow-covered, muddy field. The cold weather and quag-mired field held Carnegie’s offensive fireworks well in check. At Forbes field once again, the Tartans set out to avenge last year’s 66-0 embarrassment and make Lehigh their sixth consecutive victim. After a hard fought opening quarter in which the Scots outplayed the heavier Lehigh squad, the engineers from Bethlehem had everything their own way. Tech’s only score in the 34-7 loss came when Wilson took Holtz's short pass and latcrallcd to Luchok who ran the remaining 10 yards to pay dirt. Bent on ending another winning season on a decisive note, Carnegie stunned the visiting Westminster Titans with three lightning fast touchdowns. On the first play from scrimmage Hans Lange recovered a Titan fumble on the visitors’ 4 yard line. On the next play Luchok ran wide for the first score. Less than two minutes later, Quent Holtz passed 33 yards to l orn Craig for another score. The third score came the next time the Skibos gained possession.

Gil Disscn enjoyed a perfect day despite the cold wind and snow flurries to convert all five extra points. This game marked the finale for nine Carnegie grid-ders who ended their careers in brilliant fashion. The nine seniors are Johnny l uchok. Quent Holtz, Arne Oberg, Ted Leaman, Dale Startzcll, Fritz Wilson. George Rusnak, I Ians Lange, and BobOdeh. Luchok contributed two touchdowns against Westminster to raise his season scoring total to 72 points, tops for the squad. His total of 624 yards rushing was tops in that department also. Quent I loltz passed for three touchdowns in the finale and enough yardage to give him the total offense leadership with 890 yards passing and running. I loltz's passing record this season showed a better than .500 average on 42 completions in 83 attempts. Fritz Wilson scored a touchdown in his last game to bow out on a fine career. The final statistics arc not at all indicative of Fritz's all-around contributions to the team's success. Statistics are not compiled to show the efforts of linemen, but if they were, you would find seniors George Rusnak. I Ians Lange, and Bob Odeh among the leaders. Arne Oberg and Fed Leaman will be remembered best for their defensive genius. They were the key men in the Tartan pass defense setup, and were relied upon to make countless last ditch maneuvers to prevent enemy scores. To these nine departing seniors, the entire squad, and the coaching staff, go our congratulations for giving Carnegie Tech a winning football season; a job done without forsaking the sane athletic policy which only recently has gained national recognition. It is a team that can hold its head up in these days of stormy controversy and be proud of its achievement! Leaman is momentarily detained Westminster gets chilly reception Ackermtmn lays it up as Craig is set to follow bash etba II There was more than wishful thinking behind the optimism at Carnegie prior to the opening game. Although the Tartans had managed only a 9-12 record last year, the return of veterans Hilary Holstc, Tom Beck, Tom Craig, Bill Farbacher, and Kay Thompson, and the addition of Bud Kuenzig and Norbie Ackcrmann gave promise of a well balanced squad. Enthusiasm ran high after an impressive win over a weak Steubenville team at the Skibo Gym. The locals were brought down to earth as Lawrence Tech whipped them 88-61. Getting back into their own class, Tech downed Geneva 69-55, Way-nesburg 59-49. and back on their own floor, the Tartans outran and outshot a speedy Bethany quintet 79-71. What happened after the Bethany game we can only describe as a slump or let down. A 67-58 defeat at the hands of a smooth Gettysburg five started the skid, and when lady luck gave an added push in the fleeting seconds of the Westminster game, the team fell. Seemingly catching the Tartans while they were still down, Slippery Rock, Geneva, and nationally-ranked Penn State whipped them. Then, in what was perhaps the high spot of the season, the Tech dribblers got back off the floor to lay out Dr. Carlson's cocky Pitt Panthers 65-56 on the home court. Pitt was fresh from wins over Columbia, Princeton, and Syracuse, but couldn't cope with the l ech defense and the BO point splurge of Lorn Craig. Craig hit IB field goals to break the Panther’s back and send the white-haired thcspian-coach, Dr. Carlson, away with a red face.

Back at home with Grove City, the Plaid displayed plenty of scrap in winning 76-60. Continuing at home. Tech outran Wavnesburg to win 72-67. Fine rebounding by I lolstc and Farbacher and the fastbreaking maneuvers of Beck, Craig, and Thompson provided the solution to the Yellow Jackets’ zone defense. At Greenville, the Tartans made it three in a row, crushing Thiel 74-51.

Brilliant shooting by Beck sent Tech winging near the end of the first half. I.n the second half, Tech's tight one defense and Craig's scoring assault turned the game into a rout. Pitt then smashed Carnegie’s winning streak with a slow moving 53-48 decision. After leading until the third quarter mark, the Tartans tired in the final period when the Panthers outscored them by seven points and closed their home season with a five point win. The meeting with Allegheny saw Tech close the home season by winning 67-55. This game marked the final home appearance of two of Carnegie's brightest stars, center 1 lilarv Holstc and guard Tommy Beck. Por Beck the game was a personal triumph as he enjoyed his finest scoring effort in 4 years, a 23 point harvest, in addition to his usual fine floor game. Holste's fine rebounding was a major factor in the outcome. He chipped in with 9 points, and, along with Beck, received an ovation when retired from the game near its conclusion. The Plaid then finished their second winning season in three years by beating Indiana Teachers 71-53, Westminster on the Titan's home floor 77-71, and Grove City 75-52.

We would have to go back some years through the annals of Carnegie’s major varsity athletics before discovering an unbeaten record, as far back as 1942, to be exact. So when Coach Guy Halfertv’s record-breaking cinder heroes turned the trick last Spring it gave Carnegie fans real cause to shout the praises of Dear Old Tech. Led by their high-jumping fast-stepping captain, Connie Hammann, and the record sprinting Johnny Luchok, the Skibos rolled to six consecutive victories over Case, Grove City, Geneva, Allegheny, W J, and Westminster. To open the season, the Tartan hopefuls traveled to Cleveland to meet Case Tech for what proved to be their toughest and most spectacular triumph. Luchok took firsts in the broad jump and 100-yd. dash, Wilson a first in the 220, and Hammann tied the all time Carnegie record for the high hurdles with a 15.4 second mark; but still the Tartans trailed in points going into the last event, the mile relay. Bill McKibbin, Fritz, Wilsonr Johnny Luchok. and Fred Price then collaborated to snare the decisive chips-down event. When the composite scoring was checked and rechecked the final tally read Carnegie 64, Case 63! At Grove City the following week, the Plaid runners copped all but one place in the 100, 220, and 440 yd. dashes to romp home, 94-37, with their second victory. Back home in the Tech Bowl, Halfcrtv’s charges made it three straight, defeating Geneva 86-44. Not content with the victory alone, the flying Scots began an invasion of the record books when Johnny Luchok stepped the 100 yd. distance in 9.8 seconds, a new all-time school mark. Continuing the pattern, Tech won number four by topping a tough Allegheny squad 68 1 3-622 3 in the Bowl. This time it was Connie Row 1: C. Batetnan, S. Mitchell, M. Taylor, ). Cooper, P.

Connie had already tied the mark in the Case meet, and for him the effort climaxed a great varsity track career at Tech. More records fell under the flying feet of Tech’s tracksters as they ripped W J 85-64. Chuck Bateman, the pole vaulting specialist, shattered the 21-year-old mark of 12 ft. 2 in. when he cleared the bar at 12' 6H . The relay team of McKibbin—Wilson—Luchok—Price got in on the fun by gliding over the 4 5 mile in 2:39.8, bettering by 2 tenths of a second the old mark set in 1947. The Vartan thin-clads reached their peak with an impressive victory over Westminster in the familiar Tech Bowl. Just to prove that their previous effort was no accident, the rapid relay combo bettered their own mark with a 2:38.5 job over the 4 5 mile route. This great effort drew the sensational season’s performance to a fitting close. Although the success was possible only through combined efforts, a result of close-knit teamwork, many individuals lcxim up as chief contributors to the total. It comes as no surprise that Gmnic I lammann and’Johnny Luchok took the season’s top scoring honors with 80 and 6414 points respectively. Chuck Bateman made his bid for scoring honors in amassing points in the javelin, discus, and his specialty, the pole vault, to finish third with 47. Although Moose” Taylor’s efforts in the discus and shotput events were overshadowed'and unsung during the season, he did his job well enough to grab fourth position with 43 pts. Bob Carman (41 pts.) scored consistently in the one and two mile distance races. Bill McKibbin (36 4 pts.) and Co-Captain Fred Price (3534 pts.), who comprised half the record setting relay team, were among the most valuable supporters of the unbeaten cause. Dave Douglas, Jim Milligan, anil Fritz Wilson and all the others had a part in making the season a brilliant success. So hats off to Coach Hal-ferty and all the boys. Let’s have some more in ’52!

Moses, Coach Coach FRANK MOSES With only two returning lettermen, Bob Wiederhorn and John Montstream. the Carnegie netters turned in one of their best seasons in recent years by winning nine matches and losing only to Duquesne and Pittsburgh. Using these two men in the number one and two single spots respectively, Mr. Moses built most of the rest of his team from freshmen and sophomores. Don Duncklee and Mahlon Saibcl, both freshmen, played in the third and fourth positions. Remaining team members were Bob Duffus, Jack Alexander, and George Bcr-ringer, sophomores, and Larry Cederstrom and Carl Finder, juniors. After dropping the first match 5 to 4 to Duquesne, the Tartans went on to win six in a row over Bethany, Westminster, Grove City, Gettysburg, Geneva, and Thiel. The only close decision was the 5 to 4 win over Grove City. Pitt then turned in a 7 to 2 win over Tech, and the season was closed by Carnegie wins over Grove City 9 to 0, the only shutout of the year, W J 5 to 4, and Allegheny 7 to 2. Since the asphalt surface on the Carnegie courts was not completed until the season was over, the home matches were played either in Arsenal Park in Lawrenceville or at the Mt. Lebanon 1 ligh School courts. In 1952, however, the team will have six new hard courts upon which to play and practice. Led by Bob Wiederhorn, chosen by Mr. Moses as captain, the 1952 team should have even a better season. Mahlon Saibel catching butterflies golf sprint} 19 11 Though not quite as successful as the 1950 squad, the 1951 golf team turned in a winning record. Chosen to compete by Mr. Ovcrcnd and Captain Johnson, after shooting qualifying rounds, were: Dick Johnson, Ray Rvabik, Ed Denburg, Don Meyers, Joe Holland and Walter Kuehn. R. E. Templeton and George Carl were selected as alternates. All of the home matches were played on the 18 hole course of the Pittsburgh Field Club. The first match was a close squeeze as the Tartans downed Du-quesne by score of 9V4 to 8 . Medalist for the day was Johnson who turned in a score of 75. However, it was Kuehn who was the outstanding player as he won the final match of the day 2 to 1 to give Carnegie the victory. The next match was an easy 15 to 3 victory over Geneva, also on the home course. A measure of revenge was gained for one of last season's two defeats .when Westminster was tied 9 to 9, again at the Pittsburgh Field Club. Gettysburg was then downed 13 to 5. Grove City provided the first defeat of the season by a similar score of 13 to 5. In the next match the Plaid was again defeated, this time by the Panthers of Pitt 7lA to 1 Vi. However, in the last contest of the season the squad turned in some fine rounds of golf to nearly reverse a previous upset as they downed Grove City 12'A to 5! 2. A very good season was brought to a close as the Carnegie Golfers lost only two, tied one, and won four. Ed Denburg, all wound up Row 1: E. Denburg, D. Meyers, ). Holland Row 2: W. Kuehn, R.

Sweeping seven of the first eight places, Carnegie Tech downed Geneva 17 to 38. Carman and Cooper finished in one-two order as Tech was outdistanced only in the fourth, ninth, and tenth places. Bethany was the next team to fall under the flashing feet of the Plaid. Carman broke his previous record for the Schenlev Park, 4.5 mile course with a time of 23:13. Finishing second and third were Dave Douglas and John Cooper. Chuck Gough of Tech and Beedle of Bethany provided an exciting moment as Gough broke away in the last few yards to capture sixth place by a few seconds. Carnegie racked up its third victory in a heavy rain by beating Case at Cleveland. Dave Douglas was first over the 4.2 mile course with a fast 22:10 time. Carman was right on his heels in 22:17, while Cooper, Muller, and Hayes placed fifth, seventh and eighth. This meet was significant in that it was the first time a cross country team from Carnegie had beaten Case. With Douglas taking first place in the time of Cooper nabs valuable fifth spot Row 1: ft.

The dual season was closed by a romp over Slippery Rock Teachers College 17 to 38 on the Schenley Park course. Bob Carman, Dave Douglas, and John Cooper provided an added thrill as they were clocked in at 24:32 in a photo finish. I lowever, the biggest thrill came the next Saturday as Carnegie completed its season by winning the coveted Tri State Championship on the home course. Carman was first again for the fifth time in seven starts, including a practice meet with Jeannette. Though Carman t x k first, it was a team victory that gave Tech the championship, as John Cooper ran filth and Chuck Gough, Alan I laves and Ron Campbell, running their best races of the year, placed eighth, tenth, and fourteenth. Carnegie's pool witnessed five x’ictorics this year, including the Penn-Ohio meet sirimmintf The Carnegie mermen, under the guidance of Claude Soficld, turned in their finest record in more than ten years by winning six of nine meetings. In the opening meet at home with Slipper ’ Rock, Carnegie got off to an impressive start— a 70-14 swamping in which every event went to a Tartan swimmer. The next meet, however, with Grove City at the Grover's pool, proved a rude surprise as they defeated Carnegie 39-36. Visiting Allegheny found the Tartans on the rebound and surrendered a 49-35 decision. Nick Dcmas won both the 50 anil 100 yd. free style events, while Dick Kramer took first in the 220 yd. free style and Bob Weddell again won the 150 yd. medley. Grey Duncan and Rod Andcrsoon look first and second in the fancy diving event. Three Skibo pool records were set as the Tartans defeated Westminster 52-31. Two of the records, however, were set by the Titan's Dave Radcliff who turned in a 2:17.8 for the 220 yd. free style and 5:04.4 for the 440. Carnegie’s Weddell lowered his own mark in the individual medley as he splashed over the 150 yd. distance in 1:49.8. Other fine performances were registered by the freshman medley relay team and Nick Dcmas who for the fourth time copped both the 50 and 100 yd. free style events. Coulter won the 200 yd. backstroke and Aiken took the 200 yd. breaststroke. Duncan and Anderson took fancy diving honors uncontested. Carnegie’s second defeat came at the hands of visiting Oberlin by a 50-34 score. For the first time this season Nick Demas was beaten, first in the 50 yd. free style, and then in 100 yd. free style event. Dick Kramer, with a win in the 440 yd. free style, and Grey Duncan, with a first in the fancy dive, performed well in a losing cause. Tech’s relay team took the final event. At Indiana, Pa., the l ech tankers overwhelmed a newly-organized Indiana Teachers swimming team 66-18. Using reserves in most of the events, Sofield gave some of the less heralded members of the squad a chance to show their stuff. The Tartan splashers suffered their third and final defeat of the season before the usually tough Kent State team 45-39. Nick Demas and Dick Kramer both scored double victories in their specialties, the relay team of Astle, Gough, Chidester and Demas remained unbeaten, and Grey Duncan came up with his usual fine performance, but the Staters proved too strong in backstroke, breaststroke, and 150 yd. medley events. In the final two meetings at the Skibo Pool, the Tartans downed YV J and Case by scores of 49-35 And 47-37. To cap their winning season the Plaid took 60 points and top honors in the Penn-Ohio meet. This marked the second straight Penn-Ohio conquest for the locals. Tartan star Dick Kramer eclipsed his own pool record for the 150 yd. medley, and Nick Demas set a new association record for the 100 yd. free style. The relay team won the opening 300 yd. medley relay, while Duncan over-shadowed all entries in the fancy dive event. Row 1: R. Kendrick, B. Macdonald, B. McQuaid, P. Drew, W. Merrill, R. Weddell, R.

Director sports One purpose of the Carnegie Plan of Professional Education is the production of well-rounded graduates, and the intramural program sponsored by the Athletic Department is one way of furthering this purpose. From a meager beginning in 1920, when basketball was the only s|x rt scheduled, there has been a steady increase in activities to the present level of 21 regularly scheduled sports. Straight call pool, horseshoes, bridge, badminton, and archery are the most recent additions. According to Director of Athletics Buddy Overend, “This is one of the curricula in college where the student can make his own selection,” and the figures indicate that they do. For 1950-51, 959 students took part in the program, participating in an average of 2Vi sports each. Since February, 1951, when David See became Lieutenant David See, USNR, the Supervisor of Intramural Sports has been Ray Haynes, Slippery Rock grad, long active in Allegheny county sports as an organizer and official. I Ie has been assisted since fall by Earl Birdy, also from Slippery Rock. The Intramural Board, student governing board, was headed for 51-52 by Roy Djuvik, president; Enoch Frankhouser, vice president, both of the dorms; and Donald Shaw, secretary-treasurer, an independent. It is largely through the efforts of these men and the Manager’s Club that the intramural program has been so great a success this year. The 1951 Thistle deadline saw several sports not yet completed. Al Dobbs slows one bock Ten pins about to fly? Emanon beat Kappa Sigma, 43-32, for the school basketball championship and then lost an extramural game to Pitt's campus champs. 43-34. Emanon also beat out Kappa Sigma for the school foul shooting crown, with Delta Tau Delta just off the pace in third. The Delts t(X)k the soccer title by beating Theta Xi, 1-0, after having just squeezed by Emanon, also 1-0, to top their league. The Beavers, independent team, easily copped school handball laurels. John Montstream of the Delts won individual handball honors with Jim Vodenichar, Alpha Tau Omega, as runnerup. Call |xx)l, on the program for the first time, was won by Sigma Nu over Beta Sigma Rho and the Raiders; all three teams entering the playoffs with unblemished league records. In the ever-popular soft-ball race. Kappa Sigma, behind stalwart pitching by Bob Crouch, pulled out ahead of the thirty entering teams, followed by the winners of the other three leagues: Theta Xi. Delta Tau Delta, and Delta Upsilon. The fall '51 intramural program opened on a high note with the hard-fought touch football competition. Delta Tau Delta took the title with a 19-17 playoff win over Sigma Nu in a game which saw the Delt’s line completely dominate the second half after spotting Sigma Nu a 16-6 halftime lead. The Delts also dominated the all-school football team, placing Bill Jones, Don Braun, and Roger Cunningham on the mythical six. Jim I lolt-haus and Ceorge Bushev filled two other spots for Sigma Nu, and Don Weaver of Tau Delta Phi grabbed the remaining berth. The Raiders measure Citcom on their way to the school crown Early spring evenings found the gym air filled with basketballs and basketball players In volleyball the Raiders stormed through a six team playoff composed of the first two teams in each of three leagues, whipping Delta Tau Delta, 15-4, 13 15, 15-10, in the final match for the cup. Runners-up were the Sckuds and the Faculty Bulldogs. The table tennis team championship went to the Alpha Tau Omega “A” team led by freshman Jim Miller, who was undefeated for the season. The other two teams in the playoffs were the Raiders and Theta Xi, all three teams having won in their leagues easily. ATO was forced into doubles by the Raiders in the first playoff match, with Miller and Bob Duffus beating Bob Taka-hashi and Dale Stein 21-14, 11-21, 21-8, to give their team the match, 3-2. Theta Xi proved less troublesome, succumbing 3-0. The Miller-Duffus duo also walked away with the intramural doubles title, beating Bert Davis and Al Trice 21-5, 16-21, and 21-12 on the Boss Hall table for the final match. Miller continued his mastery of the celluloid ball sport by walloping Fred Maston of Beta Theta Pi, 21-13, 21-14, 21-11, in the best of 5 games singles tournament final. Semi-final opponent for Miller was Ned Clark of Sigma Alpha Epsi-lon, while Maston disposed of George Bushev of Sigma Nu to win his half of the eliminations. Beta Sigma Rho and Alpha Tau Omega led their respective leagues in water polo, with ATO splashing to a win in the playoff. Wrestling proved to be a half-fish, half-fowl animal this year, with the intramural winners, representing mainly Beta Theta Pi and Demon (indc- The Spring '5 soccer cup went to the Delts pendent) entries, forming a semi-varsity team under Coach Alexander which had four extramural matches scheduled for the spring. Intramural champs and their weights were George Hawkins, heavyweight; Wayland Bowser, 167: John Edelbrute, 157: Bill Brusallis. 147; James Valias, 137; and Ed 1 Iromanik. 127. Call pool for spring '52 was taken over by Sigma Alpha Epsilon with a win over the Sekuds. Runners-up were the Raiders and Delta llpsilon. Sports under way at Thistle deadline time this spring included bowling, handball, badminton doubles, and basketball. Qualified for the bowling playoffs were the first two teams from each of the two leagues: winners Delta llpsilon and Beavers, and runners-up Raiders and Beta Theta Pi. I landball, with S teams entered, looked like a battle between the Faculty Bulldogs and the Beavers. Powering the Bulldogs were Ray Parshall. of the Department of English and the Administration, and Robert Meacham, of the Math department. Beaver strongmen were Jim Vodenichar, Don Braun, and Elmer Kirschncr. The badminton doubles elimination tournament found Ray I iaynes and Don Braun paired against Don Abrams and Lcn Gassner in the finals. The basketball melee, with 38 teams entered in 4 leagues, was nearing completion, with competition in each league narrowed to 2 or 3 teams. The game between the last remaining two teams was scheduled as the feature attraction of the fifth annual Intramural Night, March 21. Also set for the program were the final match of the individual badminton tournament, between Don Braun and John Rugheimer, and exhibitions of wrestling, table tennis, and weight lifting. Dancing and a square dance demonstration were slated to take over the floor after the basketball game. Activities on schedule for the rest of the spring semester included bridge, swimming, and horseshoes (all new this year), foul shooting, softball, archery, and team rifle firing.

Blue skies after all Like a feather Thursday afternoon in spite of the sound of hammers, saws, and other last minute preparations, the curtain went up on Mardi Gras, the gala Spring Carnival weekend at Carnegie Tech. It was not long, however, before the sounds of the hammers died away and the shouts of the barkers at the colorful booths became louder and more insistent in their efforts to attract the attention of the milling spectators. Twenty-four games of chance and skill, including such favorites as “Konk-a-Kappa Sig’ and “Duck-a-Beta, as well as some newcomers, like '‘Bingo-Ball and O’Leary’s Bar,” lined the Midway, each one designed to extract cash from the pockets of eager students who by this time had forgotten all classes and studies. Live mechanical rides, including a Ferris Wheel, Merry-go-round, and Octupus also offered amusement. Thursday evening the rains came, but they failed to dampen the spirits of the student IxkIv. Frat house lights burned all night as the finishing touches were put on buggies and floats, and frantic attempts made to keep the finished products dry. Friday morning saw the preliminary heats of the annual pushmobile races run in a drizzling rain. These races decided which buggies would compete in the finals Saturday morning. At one o’clock students and interested friends gathered in the gymnasium to see sixty-seven of Tech’s outstanding students called by the five campus honoraries. But the climax of the afternoon’s program was, of course, the crowning of Jane Connor as Queen of the Mardi Gras. The six lovely members of her court, chosen by an all-male election, were Midge Waite, Dec Car-rozza, Virginia Utz, Marcie Helwig, Susie Menger, and Vicki Dunn. Music by the Kiltie Band and the Men’s and Women’s Glee Clubs completed the program. About 3:30 the sun came through the clouds, and the Mardi Gras floats began to wend their way up Forbes Street to Margaret Morrison Street and past the judges’ stand. Some of those passed in review were The Development of Courtship, “St. Peter at the Golden Gate, “King Neptune’s Court, and, of course, the “Queen’s Float. The judges consisted of “Cy Hunger ford of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, Miss Rita Tedesco of Gimbcls Display Department, Pierre Zoelly of the Department of Architecture, and Richard Felver of the Painting and Design Department. Each float was judged on originality, craftsmanship, appearance, and appropriateness. The first place trophy went to Delta Upsilon for their float, the Spirit of Bacchus. Kappa Sigma placed second with their interpretation of the difference between the real meaning of Mardi Gras and the way we celebrate it today. Third place went to the Delts Champagne Float. Friday evening’s informal dance was held in the gym this year instead of on the street by the Fine Arts Building. The entertainment was cmcec’d this time by the popular disc jockey of WWSW, Rege Cordic. Included in the Round and round they go Bacchus, DUs and Mnnn show were such stars as Dave Crantz and Gloria Wayne, both Tech grads, Rosemary O’Reilly, and the Eric Stanford trio. Walt 1 larper and his band again provided music for listening and dancing before and after the floor show. A supply of hay and sawdust helped the Midway get back in step Saturday morning and, once again, carefree students shuffled from booth to booth midst the music of the Merry-go-round and the smell of pop-corn and hot dogs. The pushmobile finals were run about 10 o’clock, and for the fourth consecutive year the Delts captured the first place trophy; the Kappa Sigs received their consolation, however, when they were given first place in the racer design competition. Three members of our faculty judged the pushmobiles on the basis of both engineering principles and esthetic qualities. Consideration was SAE, Mntm, and Flying Sponge Janie, Jake, and Mmm given to ingenuity, workmanship, safety, and soundness of construction, as well as the functional beauty of the buggy. A worthwhile improvement this year was the addition of brakes to the required equipment. In second place again were the SAEs, showing that these two groups are consistently tops in the design competition. At 2 p.m. the curtain went up on the annual Varsity Varieties in Thistle Hall. There the girls of each sorority and Citcom Clan were again competing for the first place trophy. The skits ranged in theme from an old fashioned melodrama to modern psychoanalysis.

With the Midway in full swing, entertainment seekers were treated to a show never before seen at Carnival time—‘‘Frantic Antics, a double-barrelled show put on by- the Dee Gees and ATOs. Gallant knights on tricycles jousted midst flying tomatoes, and the girls displayed their talets in a chorus line and a series of playlets. Certainly nothing was left to be desired to complete a busy afternoon. As the sun set on the horizon there was a lull in Carnival activities while everyone prepared for the climax of the week-end—the formal dance. Lovely girls in filmy evening dresses and handsome men in immaculate-tuxedos danced the night away to the Rippling Rhythm of Shep Field’s orchestra.

KKC Mardi Gras Beta Sig Magic Carpet Wanda, where did you Wanda to? scotch Vi soilu « morrif rims On May 11, 1951, the curtain went up at the Schcnlcy High School Auditorium on the Scotch 'n Soda show, A Merry Chase, a fast moving rcvucsical based on the escapades of two thugs and their pet wasp Wanda. Although shortlived in performances, Scotch n Soda has a long history. It began in 1938 when Harry Schofield and Leonard Fcinblatt found a means of putting the writing, acting, singing, and dancing talents of Tech students to work in what they called a “rcvucsical.” This all-student show was created annually from the 1938 production, “No Strings, until 1941 when the club disbanded because of the war. Revived in 1947 with the smashing hit. “Rock’n Riot, Scotch 'n Soda has become an honored custom and an indispensable part of the Spring Carnival weekend. This year's script and music were begun by senior engineers Rob Larimer and Fred Price during the summer of 1950 and were approved by the Scotch 'n Soda Board in the fall. About two months before opening night, with cast, crew, and orchestra chosen. Bugbear, Bulletnose, and Wanda the Wasp began to come to life. Paint and construction crews filled the gym with the odor of hot glue and the sound of hammering, and the familiar S 'n S bulletin board again overflowed with costume fitting lists, dance rehearsal schedules, and calls for skit rehearsals. Finally, a week before Spring Carnival, the whole show—scenery, props, cast, and crews—moved to the Schcnlcy Auditorium for the final rehearsals and performances. Through the varied abilities of Dramats, Engineers, Printers, Musicians, P Ds, and “Maggie Murphs another S'nS show had come to life. Pleasant dreams Dull, Louie, dey got gumdrops in dat ting?' Allegheny player digs in on goal line in vain as Luchok lunges for one of Tech's six TDs homecoming 1031 With the wonderful thought of no more classes until Monday, Carnegie Tech students enjoyed another gala Homecoming weekend. For the fifty-first time alumni returned to renew old memories and view the startling changes that have taken place on Tech’s campus since their own school days. As usual the celebration opened Friday with Carnegie Day ceremonies. Six honoraries enlarged their membership by calling some of the school’s most outstanding students, and Dean Dickinson announced the scholars and honor students. To honor the fraternity and sorority with the highest scholastic factor for the year, the Council of Fraternity Presidents and the Pittsburgh Panhellenic Association awarded cups to Tau Delta Phi and Alpha Epsilon Phi. The pledges of Beta Sigma Rho were also presented with a plaque for having the highest average factor of the pledge classes. But the climax of the program was the crowning of Sallie Gottlieb as Freshman Queen by Dr. J. C. Warner. Music by the Kiltie Band and the Cameron Choir provided entertainment for the Queen and Court— Blair McCracken and Doris Kneis. Queen Sallie then formally opened the weekend's festivities. Highlighting Friday evening was the judging of Homecoming displays. The twelve social fraternities and dorm council were again competing for two trophies—a nineteen inch cup for the first place and a second place wooden trophy. The dual Freshman Queen Sallie Gottlieb, Doris Kniess, Blair McCracken, and young friend pose in gym theme this year was the Allegheny Came and the returning alumni. It was PiKA which took first place, with ATO capturing the second place trophy, and the DUs receiving honorable mention. As in other years, the groups produced many masterpieces which were the results of patient planning and hours of hard work. PiKA’s barn full of victories, ATO’s Gatorbcrgcrs, and SAH’s Showboat were among the many displays which made the judging extFcmely difficult. Fraternity open houses followed the Beat Allegheny” pep rally in the Tech bowl. Saturday morning saw Freshman Sophomore competition on the Cut and departmental open houses and exhibits in the various schools. Eventually the zero hour of 2:30 arrived, and Tech’s football team trotted out on the field for the kickoff which started the game between Allegheny College and Carnegie Tech. Students and alumni joined voices and cheered the team to its third victory of the year—the score was 39 0! And speaking of our faithful alumni, their weekend was a busy one too. Friday’s festivities opened with a reception and tea sponsored by the Women's Clan. Following this were a cocktail party and dinner in the Alumni Room of the University Club. Saturday found the Alumni Clan hearing reports and electing officers for the coming year. The biggest event of the day was the I lomecoming Phi Kappas gigantic 'gator falls Theta Xi's Scotty tramples the Alligator as Pi Kappa Alpha's Scot milks an tip-state bovine Beta Theta Pi poses a comparison uncheon, featuring Major General Donald L.

While the alumni were dancing at the Schenley, about twelve hundred tudents and their guests danced to the music of Eliot Lawrence, his piano and is orchestra. The dark suits of handsome fellows and the swirling skirts of armal gowns made a pleasant contrast in the subdued light of an unrccogniz-ble gymnasium. During intermission, the awards for homecoming decorations ✓ere presented to the winners. Following the strains of the orchestra's last nclody, the merry crowd left for a few hours of relaxation and fun at fra-ernity breakfasts.

His cooperation was beyond the call of the circumstance and we are certain we could not have made a better choice of a conscientious judge. His acceptance of such a position entailed many communications from New York to Chicago plus much time and effort on the part of Vaughn; this resulting from the famous bandleader’s most grueling task—the onc-nighter tours. His present tour takes him from New York to 1 lollvwood, California, where he will lx engaged in making another movie. So our judge is not only a bandleader, but a vocalist, a television and movie star, a recording artist, a former classmate, and a wonderful person as well. The staff feels that you, the reader, would be interested in how Vaughn Monroe became the Vaughn we know. It was at the age of eleven that Vaughn began his musical career. Coming home from school one day, carrying a battered old trumpet, he explained that The kid down the street gave it to me on account of he just got a drum and likes it better. Much to the chagrin of the household (and neighbors) young Vaughn took up the instrument seriously and eventually became proficient enough to win a statewide contest in Wisconsin at the age of fourteen. In 1929, during his days as a senior at Jeanette I ligh School, he was voted the Boy Most I.ikelv to Succeed. I lowever, his high school sweetheart. Marion Baughman, who later became bnrbara trhiit fan n yrand-qirard delta delta delta delta t antnia joan trii tctnts h tower charlotte tncrriman chi oni€ yu Mrs. Monroe, thought he was rushing success a little when he dashed breathlessly into the senior prom ballroom ten minutes late with the startling news that he had just won another trumpet contest in a nearby city. The trumpet also served a more worthy purpose, for throughout his high school days and for two years after graduation, he played with local bands, earning and saving money to help finance a college education. One such aggregation was called Gibby Lockhard’s Jazz Orchestra, which appeared on stage wearing white knickers and blazers with the monogram “G. L.” on them. In addition to his trumpet duties, Vaughn was occasionally permitted to sing through a megaphone. Up to this point, Vaughn’s musical activities had revolved almost exclusively around his ti'umpet. But in the back of his mind what he really wanted to do was sing. Me had done some vocal work with the Jeanette Methodist Church Choir and had been encouraged to continue with voice study. Therefore, several years later he attended the School of Music at Carnegie Tech while working with the Lockhard group at night. I le was forced to give up his ambition of a concert stage career, however, when the grind became too grueling to continue. Leaving school at the end of his sophomore year, he took up with several other bands. In 1937, he went to Boston to accept a job offer from the late Jack Marshard and Willard Alexander. Marshard, an organizer of society bands, and Alexander, the vice-president of Music Corporation of America, and Vaughn joined together, two years later, to form the present Monroe organization. From 1940 until 1945, things were touch and go. Mis weekly salary averaged $25 and Mrs. Monroe, who suddenly found herself traveling with the band in the capacity of bookkeeper and general assistant, began to feel that his earlier optimism was a little premature, and that the high school’s prophecy of success was not exactly running true to form. The band played its first big theatre date in June, 1941,at the Paramount Theatre in New York, and a few months later landed an engagement at the G mmodore I lotel. It then embarked on its first string of onc-nighters and gradually began to attract some attention. In the meantime, RCA-Vic tor signed the band to a recording contract. But it was not until January, 1945 that his first really big break came along. They recorded There I've Said It Again on the second side of a record featuring the smash tunc of the day, Hum and Coca Cola. While the first side flopped, the fill-in tune became a national sensation, selling 1,250,000 copies. From this point on, record hits seemed to follow at almost breath-taking pace. The band was on its way, taking long run, one-nighter tours. It completes anywhere from 150 to 200 one-nighters a year covering an annual average of 50,000 miles. As a result of this new popularity on records, Vaughn contracted with a large firm to do a weekly radio show on a national hookup which has never been interrupted to date. Another result of his recording success was his introduction into the movie field; his most recent ventures have been in television. This is the Vaughn Monroe who selected Barbara Yates and her Court to represent the ’52 Thistle. Vaughn readily admits that choosing contest queens is not an easy task, and this was no exception. I he Staff along with Vaughn Monroe congratulate you, Barbara Yates, and Barbara White, Joan Grand-Cirard, Joan Williams, and Charlotte Mcrriman on your most recent success and wish you many more. in Mica tians publications scot technical tartan thistle scat After a slow beginning caused by a reluctant administration, the Scot, Carnegie Tech's indomitable variety magazine, had its first issue on sale before Homecoming. Thoroughly equipped with a new editorial board, constitution, and faculty advisor, editor Bill VVayman proceeded to cure the magazine of its financial ills with this first issue. At the beginning of this school year the administration felt that a system should be instituted to avoid publication of the kind of material found so objectionable last year. Accordingly, student council approved an enlarged and more specific Scot Constitution. This brought Professor Astere Claeyssens of the English Department into the picture as faculty advisor to read all material before printing and cut the objectionable parts. This system has reassured the administration and hel| ed to overcome their hesitance to let the magazine publish at all, and it has not fulfilled the editor’s fears that it might precipitate the loss of student support. However, one problem that the 1951-52 Scot has not been able to overcome is that of finding homemade material. As in past years, there is no evidence that Carnegie students are overly eager to see their handiwork, either with typewriter or with brush, in print. In contrast, the willingness of the local merchants to advertise is an unexpected and welcome surprise. In general, it appears that the Scot has returned to the good graces of the administration without losing its newly won student approval. staff Row 1: A. Rider, M. Rex, B. Wayman, G. Good, D.

To those working on the Tartan staff it seemed as though nothing would ever pop around school that would lead to such outbreaks of sensationalism as did a few of last year’s articles. The cditois had no campus upheavals such as Council resignations, the I larc system, or off-campus pep rallies to make the front pages stand out.

As the weeks flew by obstacles arose: yet the many roadblocks made the whole operation just a little more fun—anyone who worked on the staff will admit that, while the hours were long and tedious towards the end. he had a lot of fun in Rooms One and Four of the Carnegie Union. We hope you like the '52 Thistle; it seems to have become a part of us. as we’ve watched it grow. With the several demarcations from previous years' treatment the artwork on tinted divider pages; a different cover; elimination of many group pictures; addition of more candid photographs-wc think we have achieved an interesting volume, which in years ahead will provide many hours of pleasant reflection. Many individuals had a hand in producing this annual; a few, however, can be picked out of the many as having really devoted more of their time and effort than could be expected. Mary Jo Roc and Virginia Somerville were most dependable in the copy realm, while Willie Brant had many sleepless nights checking the finished copy and proofs for those grammatical and typographical errors which you'll have trouble finding.

CFP’s first activity each year is to aid the entering freshmen in becoming acquainted with the fraternity system through a rushing booklet and fraternity smoker. It also provides the mechanics of a controlled rushing program. The CFP Court of Justice has jurisdiction over all cases involving violations by fraternities of Council or Carnegie Tech regulations. This body, still constantly striving to handle cases efficiently and competently, has refined its procedures a great deal over the past year. At I lomccoming each year the Council awards a trophy to the fraternity maintaining the highest scholastic rating for the previous year. The CFP sponsored Pledge Council plans the 1 lomccoming pep rally at which each pledge class presents an original cheer. The Pledge Council also awards a plaque each semester to the pledge class achieving the highest scholarship. The major activities of the Council are topped by their annual CFP formal, and Greek Sing and Swing. By carrying on such activities the Council hopes through common action to promote the interests of its members, the student body, and Carnegie Tech. Row 1: ). Vassil, IV. Apple, 1 . Byrne Row 2: F.

In keeping with its purpose (maintaining a high standard of sorority life and fostering good inter-sorority relations) council acts as a clearing house for the major sorority problems and regulates and co-ordinates the group activities, like rushing programs, Greek Sing, and the Carnival Queen campaigns. Each year the council sponsors a Panhcllenic Dance, the proceeds of which are given as a scholarship to some deserving campus woman. An annual Panhcllenic Workshop giVcs all sorority members an opportunity to air criticisms and suggestions based on the previous year’s work. In addition, the organization sponsors two non-rush functions during the year, the two Open Houses,” which affords non-sorority women a chance to become acquainted with all of the campus sororities. This year, under the supervision of Panhcllenic Council, the Junior Panhcllenic Council became a strongly unified and workable organization. Officers were elected; a constitution was drawn up; and several pledge projects, including a party for all actives in the fall, and the building of the Panhcllenic float in the spring, were successfully completed. officers D.

Our Homecoming display took second place and left a permanent impression on the front walk—a twenty foot painted alligator. The Green I lornet” came in fourth in the sweepstakes, but is a rolling laboratory for next year. The Spring Carnival float, while not the most artistic, was certainly the most informal and universally enjoyed; and the Tau Choristers came out fourth in Greek Sing. In Varsity athletics: football, basketball, and track, Alpha Tau Omega was well represented. Fuellgraf and Vodenichar were on the football team, with Fuellgraf in first string center spot. Cerrito, Duffus. and Holste were Tau’s Varsity cagers, while Miller, Doscv, and Jeske showed promise on the JV team. Muller and Button represented the house on cross country team, while Weddell, Macdonald, and Astle all held down spots on Tech’s swimming team. ATOs have kept busy in campus activities. The house is well represented on the Tartan, in Scimitars, Delta Skull, ODK, Student Council, Tau Beta Pi, Scabbard and Blade, Pershing Rifles, the Kiltie Band, Cameron Choir and professional honor-arics. Tom Astle headed ODK this past year, while Don Schumacher was chairman of 1952's Spring Carnival. And socially, who will ever forget the V.M.I. with its Southern air, the Pledge Party, the Eggnog Party before Christmas, the home-made ice cream, the mad rush of Homecoming and Carnival, or the little thoughtful things on the part of the pledges: beds short-sheeted, silverware stolen, the pinned men walking back dripping wet from the Beta Sig pool? actives R°w 1; )■ Rowers, R.

A party for orphan children at Christmas, the annual spring formal, and open houses were some of the highlights of the season. Our splash parties in the pool to the rear of the house continued to entertain the entire campus. This year as always. Beta Sigma Rho has participated in almost every intramural sport from football to ping pong.

The last, and of course the most gruesome, tasks of moving were interspersed with the initiation of their new but quite unfinished social room at Spring Carnival, the excitement of following their softball team to the playoffs, and a formal dinner-dance at Highland Country Club.

Beta scribes worked their way to positions on the campus publications again this year, and many Betas were called into the national scholastic hon-oraries. Several old things fell away with the coming of the New Year-including Tom Wilson. The volleyball team pushed into the playoffs, as did the table tennis squad.

As might be expected, the Delt Xmas decoration attracted more attention than any other on campus. All in all, it was a good year. actives officers H. You tig R. Kramer ft. Young J. Vasal Row 1: L.

Rowe delta upsilan Today’s activities are tomorrow's memories, and Delta Upsilon has been working hard to make the school year 1951-’52 a memorable one. Among “unforgettables” are the party-party weekends of Homecoming, Greek Sing, and Spring Carnival. The excitement of social life, however, was not confined to these events. Many happy moments were spent between these weekends at informal house parties, pledge parties, stags, and the rousing Fall Formal at the Fort Pitt Hotel. In activities DUs did not fall behind their previous standards. Represented on Tech’s first string football, tennis, and swimming teams, and having entered a team in almost every intramural sport, they saw an active year in athletics. I he Scot, Tartan, and Technical, and the Cameron Choir and Kiltie Band all saw large contingents of DUs on their rolls, many of whom held down impressive offices. Individual effort resulted in the calling of many members to Tech honoraries. Having completed a successful year the Fraternity can “mark one up for memory. How 1: D. Williams, C. Ce flick, T.

Under the guidance of Grand Master Ray Mangold the chapter has attained activities leadership, with Kappa Sigs in every major activity on campus. As part of a long range house improvement plan, the brothers completed the groundwork for the new bar, and with the help of our ever-active Mothers’ Club repaneled and refurnished the lounge. I lighlighting the social season were our closed and invitational formats, the traditional uproarious Christmas and New Years parties, and the annual Orphan’s Christmas party. Sorority. Interfraternitv, and Theme parties helped keep other weekends at Clyde lovely. We can be proud of our placement in intramural competition. Our firsts include Swimming, Softball, Volleyball, Water Polo, Spring Carnival buggy design, and Greek Sing. Kappa Sigs were also selected as varsity and intramural athletes of the year.

Ceranoivicz Last year Phi Kappa put into practice several well-planned ideas on fraternity operation, designed to provide a happier and more productive college life for its members. I he ideas, while not new, were given new impetus with a practical application. In rushing, for instance, diversification was the keynote: men were selected from among engineers, architects, musicians, and administrators. In sjxirts the concept of athletics for the little man, as well as for winning intramural competition, was given new life with the creation of two or more teams in almost every sport. Social functions were investigated to produce parties which showed good taste and provider! more of the entertainment and relaxation which hard working I ech students seem to need. Members began to branch out into many more activities than they had be fore, to broaden their own interests, and to foster those of the younger men in the group. a ctiv€ s Row 1: L. Ux’izdos, f.

These potential PiKAs have shown a true fraternity spirit with a fine banquet which they sponsored to raise money for their pledge project. This project involves a complete renovation of the party area downstairs. Activities during the Fall of ’51 included weekly parties, highlighted by the I lalloween and Tarzan and Jane parties. First prize cup was won for I lomecoming Decorations— this is no bull . The Christmas season opened the doors of PiKA for an Orphan dinner, and the activities were concluded with the annual Christmas Party. The Spring semester kept the brothers busy preparing for Greek Sing and the Founders Day Dinner in March, the Dream Girl Formal in April, and Spring Carnival. PiKA is glad to be so well represented in school activities. acticOS Bow 1: J. Gardner, B. Hurley, P. Shively, D. Kirkbride, W. Apple, S. Mitchell, R. Hribar, C. Jensen Row 2: IV. Smith. W.

Hughtnanick Sigma Alpha Epsilon celebrated its 95th anniversary in 1951, and the Tech chapter again enjoyed a successful year in all phases of campus life. The fifteen pledges proved to be a worthy addition to Pa. Phi and made SAE’s contribution to school activities and social life that much greater. Bill Sick was elected president of the Freshman class, and Ned Clark president of the Sophomore class. Once again SAE ranked high in scholarship and had representation in the Varsity C Club, Kiltie Band, Student Council, Technical, Tau Beta Pi, Scimitars, and many other extracurricular activities. SAE also had teams entered in every intramural sport, and all of them showed great spirit and enthusiasm. The social calendar was highlighted by the Spring and Christmas Formals, Spring Carnival, Greek Sing and Swing, 1 lomccoming, and the Pledge Party. I lomecoming was a great success with many alumni coming back to visit the old stamping grounds and renew acquaintances. The front porch of the house was transformed into a Mississippi show boat after a week’s labor and was a grand sight to behold. In almost all respects 1951 proved to be a banner year for the fraternity, anti the brothers can look back on it with satisfaction. sigma nu officers ow : Act Clutc, A. Tela, E. Budde Row 2: ).

Many of the members busied themselves with such activities as the Kiltie Band, the Thistle, varsity football, basketball, track, and swimming. Others represented Sigma Nu in such clubs and societies as A.I.E.E., A.F.C.A., and the Newman Club. Among the honoraries, we were represented in Omicron Delta Kappa, Tau Beta Pi, Eta Kappa Nu, and Phi- Mu Alpha. The third place cup for Greek Sing was won by the sing team's renditions of the Navy Hymn, Steal Away, and the Sigma Nu Drink Song. The social season was highlighted by the traditional V.M.I. Ball, a southern costume affair, and the annual Christmas Party for under-priveleged children. H. Alexander, C. Winick, B. Smith, R. Guarino tau delta phi Psi chapter of Tau Delta Phi Fraternity started this new school year with a sad note. The chapter’s canine mascot, “Psirus, died of injuries sustained in an auto accident. All of the brothers were downhearted; sadness was overcome, however, by the acquisition of a new mascot, Psirus III. In scholastic standing the Tau Dclts have excelled again by winning the scholarship trophy for the past school year with an average factor of 2.54. Tau Dclts arc actively engaged in extracurricular activities, such as the Tartan, Technical, and VVRCT. On the football field one of the brothers attained great honors—Don Weaver was picked as one of the backfield men on the all-school intramural football team. In varsity sports, we have Carl Finder (tennis) and Ed Dcnhurg (golf). In addition, our social calendar is bulging at the scams, due to the untiring efforts of the social chairmen, who planned and executed many unusual and fascinating affairs. One of the most successful was the Pledge Suppressed Desire party. Row 1: P. Bernstein, C. Adler, B. Radolf, B. lnncrfield, R. Guarino, R. Gorman, A. Selz Row 2: L. Feldman, L. Goldman, ).

Among the year’s projects was the support of a Greek war orphan by the voluntary donations of the members.

We completed a successful fall rushing season which included our annual Chocolate” and a Star party. These events were followed by the pledge dinner, initiation, and fraternity parties. The annual Theatre party was held, the proceeds of which went into the Scholarship fund. Before going home for the Christmas holidays we gave our annual Christmas Kindness at The Home for Aged Women at Edgcwood. Second semester involved another round of activities ranging from the pledge dinner and initiation to fraternity parties, Greek Sing, our Spring Formal, and finally Spring Carnival. Many school organizations again had representatives from Chi Omega. They included: Mortar Board, Pi Delta Epsilon, Phi Kappa Phi, Cwens, Student Council, The Scot, Tartan, Thistle, Scotch and Soda, Choir, and Dorm Council, as well as several departmental organizations.

Other events included fraternity parties, Greek Sing, Founders' Day, Mother-Daughter parties, and the dinner formal. Not only do the Dec Gee’s engage in social events, but they also render invaluable aid to their national project for the blind. Campus activities, too, are important to every member of Delta Gamma.

HISTORY Origin of Koppcrs Company. Inc., dates back to June 10, 1907 when Heinrich Koppers, a young German engineer who had devised a better way of heating chemical-recovery coke ovens, established engineering offices at lolict. III. Koppcrs set about building a batten,- of his coke ovens for the Illinois Steel Company. The budding young steel industry of the United States watched with interest, recognizing that the Koppcrs ovens made better coke, and at the same time recovered the gas. tar and other products which the old bee-hive ovens burned off. GROWTH World War II saw a need for synthetic rubber, and the government, recognizing Koppcrs ability in constructing specialized chemical plants, asked it to build a plant at Kobuta. Pa., to make styrene and butadiene, primary ingredients of synthetic rubber. After the war. Koppcrs purchased part of tlic Kobuta plant and converted it to the manufacture of the versatile plastic molding material-polystyrene. With four other chemical plants in operation. anti a sixth under construction. Koppers has become a growing unit of America’s rapidly expanding chemical industry. RESEARCH Recognizing that continued growth demands unceasing efforts to I setter serve industry and the public. Koppers places great emphasis on scientific research . . . research that makes many products I letter and many better products possible. In addition to extensive participation at Mellon Institute, Koppers is preparing to open a Research Center at Verona, Pa. A Career with a Future From a small engineering firm, later purchased by American interests and moved to Pittsburgh, Koppcrs grew rapidly, entering new fields opened by the chemical-recovery coke ovens. To supply cities with gas and coke, it built for itself and operated several batteries of the coke ovens. It built plants for the recover,1 of benzene and toluene which were-so badly needed for production of explosives during World War I. It lx-gan to make tar products such its road and roofing materials, to find ways of getting more of the chemical derivatives from tar, and to utilize certain chemicals that could Ik- recovered from the coking process. Experience at building complicated coke oven batteries led Koppcrs into other fields of metallurgical engineering and construction. Today Koppers and its Freyn Engineering Department are known throughout the world as builders of %u| erior blast furnaces, sintering plants, rolling mills and entire integrated steel plants.

You have completed your prescribed courses; but. more important, you are ready to begin your careers in the world. We take it for granted that you have acquired the foundation for the skills and knowledge that will be required of you.

These crisis have been only the outward manifestations of the inner ills that afflict us and the inevitable results of our past failures to live and act bv those principles we all know but often violate as individuals, as groups, and as a nation. And so 1 urge upon you that you give thought to so shaping your personal lives and conduct, in every moment of each daily stint, that honesty and truth and devotion to your C.od will pervade our national life. Only in this way can your lives and the lives of men everywhere be blessed by peace and happiness. We are confident that you will direct your lives to that end.
