' Who put the peanuts in the concrete? ' You put the orange in here. Are you sure the walls are straight? GRADUATES The Civil Engineering Graduate Program had its begin- ning less than three years ago. Since then, thirteen Civil Engineers have received their Master ' s Degree. There are eleven men presently engaged in graduate studies, six of whom will be honored at this year ' s commencement exercise. The department offers several courses in each of the fol- lowing fields: advanced mechanics, structural analysis, design, soil mechanics, and foundations. Also included is a course in Special Problems i n which the student chooses a specific prob- lem and does some research on it. Thesis work is optional, but in the future may be required. Credits may also be attained in other departments by taking courses such as hydraulics, mathematics, mechanical engineering, etc. Because the department is still growing, more students will have the opportunity to study for their Master ' s Degree in Civil Engineering. It is also anticipated that, if enough interest is shown and the present teaching shortage allieviated, the Doctorate of Philosophy and Doctorate of Science may become available in the future.

Barons of Kaven There is a need present in every devoted student ' s cur- riculum to be allowed to express himself on any subject and be confided in, be it from the African Aardvark to Zymurgy (Def. -applied Chemistry dealing with fermentation processes, as in brewing.) The Barons of Kaven meetings provide this opportunity for its worthy members, selected from the Civil Engineering Department. Every Friday afternoon the Barons assemble at a local pub to exchange their silver for the cool, foamy liquid, with which to cheer the passing of another week of shears and bending moments, and prepare for the next. The Barons are well aware of the need to support campus functions and promote the ideals of the Civil Engineering Department. Consequently, prospective Barons must share these beliefs before they will be considered to perpetuate the society in the spring term. Although the BOKS have the youngest of all such societies on campus, the spirit of the Barons, while consuming the spirits will top them all. Top Row: Norm Bolyea, Ned Rowe.
