fbfipfi e ectr' al ng' eering Kirchhoff in his wildest moments could never have dreamt of our Electrical Engineering students. There is no basis or plan for our actions. YVe are unpredictable and defy interpretation. This can easily be verified by asking either our instructors or our fellow engineering students. The first method is the safest of the two because we would not advise anyone to ask the CLE. students about EE. Although the second year is divided into two sections, the split is in name alone, because both sections are over- flowing with characters-weird personalities competing with each other. For instance, there are those who can be relied upon to originate material, such as laboratory reports, and those who can always be depended upon to originate the thirty-nine carbon copies of same. There are those who sleep in the Mathematics class and those who prefer the Mechanics Lecture. On the average we all lead a well- balanced academic life. X'Ve have our Messrs. jack Priest and john Nolan, who are two reasons why volleyball nets are so high, despite the frantic pleas of Loveman to lower them .... Murray Sil- verman, heartily seconded by Oxley, still feels that 9:30 A.M. is an ungodly time of the night. Of course, Murray Preisler has a legitimate excuse-he,s married. I-Iy Stein is interested in turning Hunter College into a U.S.O., while Bill Horozan is trying to buy commuter tickets on the Lexington Avenue Line .... VVherever there is an intellectual long-hair, on a female head, you'll find Harry Spett .... Bob Kanzler has stopped smoking again this year and Sid Kaufman's expenses have risen accord- ingly. Big Jim Spool is make-up man for the Pioneer and wishes he could make up with his girl as easily .... A. Roth, known to his classmates as C. B. DeRoth, seems to be hav- ing operator trouble with the projector in the Physics class lately. Recently the contraption snapped on his arm, so the rest of the class had a ten-minute break while he was being pried loose. Y'Ve are taking up a collection now for services above and beyond . .

25.4122 5 Dali's right hand man, Richter, is the expert on surrealism .... Jerome Sable is writing a book of the wrong answers to the Mechanics problems, while Matcovich is seeking the answers in the stars .... Mel Stern and Bob Cox promise to take apart and then integrate anything they can get their hands on, including an erector set .... Spann and Romagnoli are always nearest the door-expecting a phone call, boys? . . . Silverstein doesn't have enough homework to keep him busy, so l1e's getting married. . Archie Boscia, popping in and out of uniform for the Hrst few months of the year, has linally decided to stay with us-subject, naturally, to overruling by the Mathematics department. He's interested in this new fraternity, Sigina Kappa Tau .... Herb Dropkin and T'VZlllQ Springer are the original copy boys for most subjects, while Kestenbaum and Phil Geller produce the most traveled Physics reports .... Jerry T'Vhite captains the volley-ball team between his oil drop experi- ments .... Reiser says: The heck with elephant hunting-porcupines are my meat! . . . Munt, when not knocking off his straight A's is an able assistant. John Simms would like to see a coke-no hypo's necessary-bar set up in the new lounge. Agresta agrees to tend the bar, provided he can have the bar-rag squeezings. Hammer would sweep up-all he wants is the bottle caps .... Knock three times and say, McSorley sent me. The way Kernan and Hofmann are synchronized still amazes the boys. They always finish the physics problems at the same time-maybe its hand signals under the table-it wouldn't be so bad if their code wasn't in German.
