ba a. th je SOCIETY OF MANUFACTURING ENGINEERS 4 Deep in concentration, SME member Mark Stephens takes a few moments to put the finishing touches on a graphics plate. Highlighted by trips to Marathon LeTourneau and General Electric in Tyler, the activities of SME continued to provide members with an awareness of industry and professionalism of the manufacturing engineer. Mr. Gordon Huyser and Dr. Robert Ralston served as sponsors for the organization. Although there was a struggle to maintain steady growth in membership, the club was encouraged by an effort to charter the organization in order to draw the interest of upcoming students. Officers for the 1976-77 year included Carl Mattson serving as chairman, Steve Thompson as first Vice Chairman, Frank Blalock as Second Vice Chairman, and Jerry Lynch as Secretary-Treasurer.

AMERICAN WELDING SOCIETY AWS Officers, Pictured L to R: Robert Krans — Secretary-Treasurer, Duane Miller — Chairman, Harry Saddock — Vice Chairman. AWS, boasting some one hundred members in the LeTourneau College chapter, brought several new additions to the college’s scope of special activities and programs. Their Careers in Welding program, sponsored by the alumni chdpter, included guest speakers in chapel as well as a special session in the evening. The coordination of a joint program with the LeTourneau College student chapter of the American Society of Nondestructive Testing also proved to be a rewarding program. The emphasis for the program was placed upon the topic of dye penetrants and magnetic particles. Sponsored by Mr. William Kielhorn, the AWS chapter strives for several major goals in their program. Their desire to stimulate an early professional consciousness among members is partially achieved in their endeavor to keep students informed of current developments in the welding field. More importantly, the society tries to develop a sense of unity and integration of business and professional life with the basic principles of Christian living. Late Members, Pictured L to R, Front row: Duane Miller, Mr. Keith Glass, Robert Krans, Tom Schmitt; Back: Mike Ringler, Anver Classens, Rich Campbell, Paul Wittenbach, Scott Miller, Roger Patrick. 148

KLTC UNDER RECONSTRUCTION KLTC, the campus Christian radio station, went through a major overhaul for two entire semesters. Originally planning to broadcast in the early fall, the staff was forced not only to remodel the building, but to design and build new equipment and rebuild old equipment. The group was sponsored by Dr. David Sprague, with Dr. Bill Graff serving as Technical Advisor and Terry DeVries as General Manager. The staff worked long hours on the small radio station, and with the Lord's help, the future looks much brighter.
