........... n . ..... ....... The Marquette Chapter of the American In- stitute of Electrical Engineers in the past few years has been composed mostly of V-12 and NROTC students. With the cutting of its membership, and the limited time of crowded trimester programs, the activities of the AIEE were curtailed. , The election at the end of 1ast term had Ioe ; Bazil as President, Willard Cheek as Secretary, 3 and Bob Schmitzer as Treasurer, a11 navy rnen. ; Since the ranks of the AIEE were depleted due to last terrn's graduation, this semester's program has been devoted principa11y to at- tracting new members. There are now about 25 active members, 12 of whom are navy men. At the end of the current term the AIEE will be returned to entirely civilian control. The war years 1943-1946 showed such a marked absence of Civilian students in the C01- 1ege of Engineering that the Marquette Student Chapter at the American Society of Mechanical Engineers was almost totally comprised of Navy V-12 and NROTC students. Because of the rigid time a11otrnent oi the Navy program, it was inevitable that the ac- tivities oi the organization shou1d be consider- ably less than those of the peace-tirne days. Engineers from industry in Milwaukee and vicinity were cooperative in speaking to the society. In this way, the principle purpose at the Student Chapter, that of promoting contact between our future engineers and the field of industry, was maintained. At the end of the winter terrn, an e1ection was held, Don Correll being elected President. Robert Della Flora became Vice President, and Jack Crirn was installed as Publicity Manager. Orrn Henning and Worth Miller comprised the membership committee. The Board of Gov- ernors is now composed of Les Wise, Bob Kott- rnan, Gordon Hurlbert, Tack Cassidy and Ray Metscher. The first duties of the new officers were to make a determined membership drive among the returned engineering school veterans. Lec- tures were planned and arrangements made for the campus-farned ASME picnic, an all- Saturday afternoon atiair held in one at the parks in Milwaukee and featuring inter-class baseball games plus great quantities of ham sandwiches, beer, pretzels ., and fun.

ALUMNI IRGAANIZTIIN 1. What should become an important and in- fluential segment of the Marquette alumni con- tingent has been formed and is now active on the campus. This Hbabe-in-arms is the newly founded Anchor and Chain Alumni organiza- tion. A11 Marquette NROTC graduates may become members of the new organization and it is to their advantage to do so. Officers elected for the first year are: John Hatemeister, Skipper; Leo C. Massopust, Execu- tive otticer; Robert W. Schroeder, Chief Yeo- man; and Dennis C. Hamerski, Paymaster. All men served as naval officers during the past war, seeing action in various Pacific cam- paigns. It is the mission of the organization to be of service to all graduates of the Marquette NROTC. It will function to assist with insur- ance programs, solve housing and rooming problems and provide information for countless other details. As stated by Schroeder, HThe organization found its start in the demands of the boys even before they left Marquette. Throughout the Service, as we met at officer's clubs in the small islands of the Pacific, we discussed and hoped for an alumni organiza- tion of this sort. Here, in this organization, we hope to act as a social coordinating unit and at any time any of the boys can be helped . . t w Wtrzmw W . W W WW i WWI N- W -:.-y.;: . ' W b:-:-' ': in any way in order to find jobs, homes, etc., we will make every et- tort to do so. It is also the purpose of the organization to work hand - in - hand with the Anchor and Chain group of the Unit. Perpetuating the fine spirit of comrade- ship which exists at Marquette and later on active duty, the organi- zation should prove of valuable aid to the University, to the Navy, and to the individual members. With the founding of similar organi- zations throughout the nation, Which is the hope and plan of the Milwaukee group, it might be possible to aid the Navy in opening the eyes of the civilian populace to the great needs of the Service. All interested graduates of the Unit are urged to contact The Anchor and Chain Alumni, Suite 308, Marquette Building, 11th and Wisconsin, Milwaukee 3, Wis. Dues are to be held to a minimum fee. .;.-.:. .....

The pistol team was 1941, the NROTC rifle and pistol teams have started as a Hlittle brother but has now blos- provided practice and competition for the more sorned out in its own right with Gerry Gold- Hdead-eyed squirrel hunters of the unit. Dur- stein and HRed Bishop, as well as Grooten- ing 1941 and 1942, the team was a member dorst and Snure, rounding out the squad. of the Southeastern Wisconsin League and engaged in regular competition with neighbor- ing teams. In more recent years, competition has been broadened and league membership has been dropped. 1n the Hearst Trophy matches, a team com- posed of Huddle, Geib, Greishaber, Rachel and Prine managed to pull down 13th spot in a field of more than 40 entries. When the same team showed up 12th in the National NROTC Tournament, out of a field of almost 60, a few more laurels were added. This definitely indi- cates that there have been bright moments in the past year for the men of the rifle and pistol teams . . . men who go down to the Despite the expert guidance of CGM lack- son, the boys have experienced rather tough sledding during the past year and have man- aged to win only about one-third of their matches. A glance at the competition, how- . ever, serves as a partial explanation. Such r ange Wlth guns. teams as Northwestern, Notre Dame and Southern California have formed the backbone of the schedule and the ensuing scores cer- tainly do not discredit MU efforts. Practically a11 have been postal matches, but the last time the squad actually saw the whites of their opponents eyes, the results were commend- able. In that Hshoulder to shoulder rnatch held here, an MU tearn beat the University of Wisconsin outfit by 64 points. During the past semester the load has been carried by Norman Huddle, Henry Geib, Fred Grootendarst, Walt Karkow and Bob Snure. Huddle's average, now hugging 180, has made him the individual scoring leader. The same Mr. Huddle has been leading the parade in
