As Industry Changes, So Does V.T.I. a aE Back before hair was invented, the Tech was brought to ‘life. Some of the teachers, as a matter of fact, are ori- ginal equipment. This was before the invention of the automobile, as some of the expressions hint. 'Two horses in Parallel and two bicycles in Tandem can still be heard. During the school's history, it has had several different names; some official titles, others just terms of endearment used by the students. Although ‘Valparaiso Technical Institute sounds long winded, it was a vast improvement over 'Dodge's Telegraph, Railway accounting, and Radio Institute, '' the name adopted in the 30's. The shorter name resulted in a wider path to the driveway, and hence, an increase in enrollment. Probably the biggest boom to hit the campus was in the early 50's. Virtually tons of surplus test equipment hit the campus. Most of the equipment in the labs today can be traced to some foxhole in WWII.

The 60's brought rapid change to the electronics indus- . try when solid state replaced vacuum tubes. Tech stu- dents were right up with the changes; they could blow up transistors with the best of them. Electronics is really only a sideline at the Tech. The buildings have housed the first Valpo power plant, an aerosol can factory, a glass bottle factory, a bowling alley, and a roller rink, to mention a few. Currently the building contains a radio station, a book mobile hq., and a newspaper press. All in all, the Tech is a good bet, because the industry figures, if you can make it through here, you can make it through anything.
