' ■m t. m m You can ' t move on unless you change; you stay where you are and you die. Life is change; it ' s the law of nature. We dedicate the 1972 Peddler to the necessity for change. Olie: When I was going here the school was about the size of the present freshman class; a little bigger, maybe. Hall: Must have been a nice little family group. Olie: In a sense it was, but in a sense it was a cold, unfriendly place; this was the impression I got. Olie: It was a very sterile place, with a very sterife atmosphere. Of course I was at a disadvantage. I was a commuter, and I didn ' t live in a dorm or belong to a fraternity, so I didn ' t know what was going on after classes stopped. r ' S Olie: I think one of the best things the school ever did was to go coed. It ' s made a very marked change on the campus. It may not look it all the time, but I think the students are a little more careful of what they do or say. Olie: _When I was here the percentage of students in fraternities was about 89%. Dion: Did your attitudes change in going from being a student to being a teacher? Olie: Oh, am I a teacher now? You ' ve got to realize that when I was going here I was sort of the typical Tech turkey. My attitudes have changed, but then my attitudes are continually changing. Things that I consider perfectly fine now, four years ago when I was also a teacher I might have frowned upon a bit. One ' s attitudes are bound to change. If one ' s attitudes don ' t change with time then one has just died; one is dead if one isn ' t willing to accept new ideas, new social mores. Hall: What do you think a good teacher is? Olie: A good teacher is somebody who arouses the interests of a student and sort of makes him want to go on to learn more on his own, and gets him so he does. He ' s not going to baby a student. He ' s not going to force anyone to learn. If the student wants to learn he ' ll find out about it. Hall: What do you think the student-teacher relationship at Tech is, or what do you think it should be? Olie: It ' s a mediocre to fair relationship for, I ' d say, a good part of the faculty. For about half the faculty now it ' s improving a great deal, due mostly to newer faculty. I think it should be a fairly open relationship. Each should recognize the other as being a human being. Olie: I ' ve been very close with a lot of students, and I ' ve had some of them in class. But I ' ve never seen a student here expect me to do him any favors because I was friendly with him or went drinking with him. Olie: I think that as soon as anyone becomes content with himself that he should quit, because he ' s not going to be any good from then on. I ' m not content. Olie: I ' m becoming more and more disillusioned with classroom tests. You only have so much time. . .and the danger is you try to get sort of cute little questions, trick questions I guess the students call them, which can be done rapidly if you ' re lucky. I guess the teacher likes to say that you can do them if you really understand the material. Maybe there ' s too much luck involved. I prefer to go to oral exams or take-home exams, talk to the students and just try to find out subjectively how good a grasp he has of the material. Hall: How do you think the goals of the students of today have changed from the students of your day? Olie: Probably not too much. Hall: Do you think the student still looks for a job with a lot of money? Olie: A lot of them. Perhaps in the last few years the emphasis has started to decline on the money aspect. There are probably more students interested in, or paying lip service to, doing ' good works ' . Tech now has about one or two students a year going into the Peace Corp. That ' s a big step forward. Hall: Do you think Tech stimulates that interest? Olie: No, I think the emphasis at Tech is on what kind of salary you get when you graduate. That ' s what the kids talk about: the job that gets the biggest salary. If things suddenly got good, I ' m afraid we ' d see a lot of articles in the Worcester newspapers about what the average starting salary for a Tech graduate was. I think this is a horrendous misplacement of values. It changed somewhat last year because people didn ' t have jobs. Whether it ' s a permanent change or not I don ' t know. But I would hate to hand this alternative to most of the graduates of this place: I ' ll start you off at $12,000 a year or let you join the Peace Corp. Hall: How many people, do you think, who are graduating from here now, would turn down a job simply because they don ' t feel they ' re ready to go into the job world of fifty weeks of work and two of vacation? Olie: I know a few who have done it last year. I wouldn ' t say a high percentage. Most of the kids who get out of here are going to fit immediately into that groove. They ' re going to get their job then get married then settle down and build their little box houses and try to work their way up the ladder. Hall: Outside of Tech would you say the trend is away from jobs and doing more of what you want to do? Olie: I don ' t have that much contact outside of Tech, but I doubt it. I think that a lot of these liberal arts colleges are filled with a bunch of phonies. I ' d say a big percentage of them are phonies. And there are phonies around here, but, my own personal opinion of a Tech student is that he ' s honest. At least he will admit that he ' s going out to make money. M « - m 4 A «W f i -  j ■s ■ ■ ■ ' -- ' «t. ' m ■ Hall: Is Worcester Tech ' real life ' ? Olie: No. They ' re all staged problems. The big thing about the Plan is to make it more real life. It ' s a controlled community. It can ' t be real. Dion: Is Worcester Tech any less real than other colleges? Olie: No, it ' s more real. As I said, the students here are much more open and honest. J. l r ; f — ' ? ■ 1 i i Hall: If you were given ultimate power at Worcester Tech for one year, what would you do? Olie: I ' d drop varsity football.

Podolny: In four years I have changed an incredible amount. When I first came here I had decided I was going to be an engineer. Studying the sciences and making a lot of money. Upon careful reconsideration and evaluation I decided that this wasn ' t quite what I wanted to do. I no longer feel that engineering is a good way to help people. Now it ' s about 50-50, with engineering, either you help keep people alive or you help destroy them. I think that my biggest change has come upon realizing that science, engineer- ing, liberal arts and humanities are pretty meaningless. Mooradian: When I was in high school I was interested in science and Worcester Tech was a good place to go, they had what I wanted. Over the past three years I have learned a lot about what science is and what it means to major in a science. I have learned a lot about what science has done in the past and what it can do and as a result I have become a bit disgusted. I am more mixed up now than I was when I came here. I really don ' t know what I am going to do but I feel that I have learned some important things especially about myself. Andreozzi: In coming to Worcester Tech, my goals, I thought at that time, were very well defined. I knew I would study science and I wanted to study science at an engineering school so I could communicate with engineers. It turned out to be a meaningless construct. I thought I would get my B.S. and go on to a Ph.D. program somewhere else. A lot of things besides school changed this. The job market for Ph.D. ' s has changed. I also saw what was ahead for a Ph.D. in the academic life. These people were much more human beings than I thought they were. They fight and they struggle and stab each other in the back just as anybody would. I was very disillusioned. I felt that the school and the faculty believed it was more important to get the grade than to learn something. I was very disappointed by this. I ran into a dead end. ■MhS - p m V 1 PPl ■9 J j - ,) --, ,. r v ■ Podolny: When I came to Worcester Tech I wasn ' t disillusioned at all. I didn ' t expect any great social situation which we don ' t have here at Tech, I didn ' t expect any academic stockpile at Tech (everyone in unison: which we don ' t have here at Tech). I really expected when I came here to learn how to learn and by not going to classes I did. I don ' t think that college is necessary, if that ' s the point in college. Mooradian: One of my disappointments with college is that they teach you a skill. This is what you want to be and this is what you must do to be that, this is how I found college. There is a liberal education, if that is worth anything, studying English and history and philosophy and learning what other people have said about life is about, and there is this type of education which is training. Jf V 1 s s r v9 v-. f I $; ■jl Andreozzi: They train you to get a job. It is a vocational school. A four year Voc Tech. I would say that a majority of the kids came here because college is the place to go after graduating high school. It keeps you out of the army and you don ' t have to work. You can have four years of enjoying yourself and you don ' t have to live at home. You can also make money when you get out. Podolny: If you take 99% of the students at Worcester Tech you ' ll find they are always thinking past or future and they don ' t think about what they are doing now. That ' s one reason why many can ' t study. It ' s either that chick who really screwed me up again, or I ' m going to get really totalled Saturday night. Podolny: If you want to straighten yourself out school is as good a place as any. It ' s safe here. It ' s also very free here. It will be a lot easier to straighten yourself out here than at home. Dion: Isn ' t school a big part of your life now? Podolny: School is a womb to me. It ' s safe, no hassles. But school gives you a chance to think. 2%L L ■ - 1 ' . i t ' 1 i ' ■ 1 •f ■% j 1 Jp? t 8 '  ««m tjh n Dion: Who feels free? How about you Bruce you ' ve been here for less than a year, do you feel freer? Charette: A lot freer. I live in Worcester and I wanted to go to college for free and stay in Worcester and that is why I am here. I am not in college for the purpose of graduating and making money. I am the only one rather than my parents who can restrict myself. I have to make the decisions for myself and it ' s different. You learn a lot about yourself under those circumstances. I think I have matured. I also have discovered that my parents have made the same mistakes I am making now. Classes in school are really strange, alien. The whole process of going to class to learn how to make money seems totally useless. My goals, I don ' t want to make lots of money I just want to live, live so I can . . . I just want to be able to live. -■:-.:. -. ..•« ■ ' ,; ■■ - y Andreozzi: The vast majority of seniors and juniors I knew as a freshman had come in to get the job training, to prepare themselves for the American Dream . I saw them, and I ' ve seen five years of students since. My freshman class was possibly right on the border in the transition from the straights to the freaks. The people who were sophomores when I was a freshman were, for the majority, straight — fraternity men; have a good time; and study enough to get a good job. The year after my class a tremendous wave of freaks came in. I don ' t mean that word in a derogatory sense. The attitudes have changed in a way I can ' t explain. Lexier: What does a humane technologist mean to you? Podolny: Kransberg when he spoke here mentioned a different kind of efficiency; when an engineer is performing an engineering function he should take in the variable of social conscience. I thought he had a good idea except for the fact that this automatically assumes that there is a set value system which engineers should follow. Yet there are 200-odd million people in the United States and 200-odd million value systems. Mooradian: I think in place of humane technologist you could put ' common sense technologist ' , because there are a lot of things that are just common sense, like pollution, overpopulation. Mooradian: Most of us right now would just like to see what happens with the Plan. It ' s not only the Plan, it ' s what ' s going to happen to students in general, which is going to affect what happens to students here. I think that ' s what this apathy is; everybody ' s waiting. I ' m just waiting to see what happens — slightly optimistic — and just waiting to see what happens. v V ' •■-.-. ' - - x I I III II . « % m m ' «MMe$ .Irf 1 ■ + ' •■.•  . ■ ..iiM r Kt w w w . ' ; •« • ik iith w TAKE UlWH Horn: My feeling is that each person teaches what ' s on his mind. This is at least how I feel. I mean I teach me. I teach what I ' m interested in, in a particular time of my life. It basically reflects the level of the knowledge I have accumulated at that particular moment. I find myself constantly adjusting, changing my own interests and therefore it ' s reflected on what goes on in class. So that of course I hope I will continually change. Horn: I hope that I will never reach a position where I ' m teaching the exact same thing or even anything close to the thing I taught the semester before. The general subject area, the general area of emphasis, which for me is the evolution of human consciousness is always going to be my principal concern, since I think it is the highest question that one can ask. Dion: What kind of goals do you have for your classes? What are you trying to get across to your students? Horn: Well, I think that I would like the students to basically recognize what the significant questions in life are, and perhaps where to look for the answers to those questions. That ' s fundamentally, I think the function of a teacher. Ultimately I would like to hope that . . . the student would see that wisdom is the ultimate quest for man, and that wisdom is something that cannot be transmitted from one man to another, but it ' s something that each of us has to work out. So, the function of the teacher is to help the novice along the path. And I think this is what I meant in the earlier part. That the best way to do this is to demonstrate in your own life the validity of the body of knowledge that you ' re offering to students. Horn: I find every student a challenge, I don ' t like to see students as a technical student, as a humanities student, whatever, we ' re people, you know? And I think a technologist, if he ' s honest with himself, is going to recognize that he has the exact same problems, the same hangups a guy majoring in say philosophy has. And he has to work out some kind of relationship with his own self, he has to work out some kind of relationship with a woman, he has to work out the kind of problems he has with his own fears, his own insecurities, he has to concern himself with the kinds of pressures that society is placing upon him. That is, whether he is an engineer, a satirist, or a philosopher, is irrelevant, ultimately he ' s a man. Horn: I find that you put yourself into a very small box, a limit to your potential when you consider yourself an engineer rather than a man. And therefore it doesn ' t matter whether it ' s a technologist, or a philosopher, I ' m concerned with having the individual confront himself and if he confronts himself as an engineer, well, that ' s what he ' s doing, making a living. That ' s something else. I ' m not here to train somebody so they can make a living. I ' m here to present students with some questions that have been presented in my lifetime and I have found helpful to me, and I would like them to consider these questions and perhaps apply them to their own life and see whether it would help them get by. L Horn: Life is a very difficult thing to deal with, and learning how to build a bridge isn ' t going to help you learn about life; to teach you how to build a bridge, or lay a foundation, isn ' t what life is all about. There are questions of love, hate, fear, death, peace and freedom. I don ' t mean political. I mean inner peace and inner freedom. These are questions that each of us have to deal with. I see my function, whether it ' s addressing technologists or addressing philosophers to get to the student, to get to the young man, that ' s what you are; you ' re young men who are going to have to resolve these questions some day in your life. All I can do is tell you how have sought to resolve these questions. And that body of knowledge I have used to help resolve these . . . questions. And then demonstrate the validity of this body of knowledge by my own life. Dion: So you want your students to be aware of themselves and the body of knowledge around them. Horn: Yes. This is ultimately the quest of man, to discover who he is or what he is, what is his relationship to the environment he finds himself in. Dion: Well obviously, you know, you need some guidance to enhance this awareness part of education. Horn: Sure. It comes in two ways. You learn from experience. A man can ' t learn engineering, a man can ' t learn history until he goes out and becomes an historian, until he practices history. What I ' m suggesting is that . . . you want to know what it ' s like to be an engineer, perhaps the best thing to do is to experience an engineer. To absolutely live and breathe and live closely with a man who considers himself an engineer, and understand what it really means to be an engineer. Not engineering theory, not engineering problems, what it really means to be an engineer. Likewise, if you really want to know what it ' s like to be a man, then ultimately, you ' re going to have to discover someone who is a man and learn from him, what manhood is about. That ' s one way. But it ' s very difficult to find the wise man, they don ' t seem to be around. So, what you have, the second best thing is to find the record of these men. The sort of teachings that they ' ve left behind so that others who haven ' t had the opportunity to experience them directly at least can experience their teachings or their vibrations through their language, through the symbols they have left behind. A man ' s symbol is in fact a transferral of his psychic energy, into an outer reality. And by experiencing these symbols what you are doing is somehow communicating with that man ' s psyche, the symbol maker. Horn: History is the study of man, of civilized man. If you ' re going to study the history of man ' s life or the history of man ' s experience of the last ten thousand years, you ' re going to consider that from a vantage point of what man is. And if you ' re going to study man, his historical manifestation: you ' re going to have to study psychology, sociology, literature, art, in fact all his symbols. And history to me includes everything. You ' re studying the life and experiences of man in history. Horn: As a matter of fact I discovered that whether you call it psychology, or whether you call it history, is really irrelevant, you know, when it really comes down to it, in essence, what you ' re really studying is man. And for me, history seems to help us with all of it. I ' m studying the history of man, and that means, if I ' m going to address myself to that problem, what do I have to know to understand the history of man. Well, I have to understand the way man functions, what is man, how does he live his life? What motivates him, and in so doing ultimately, and in essence, I ' m trying to discover who am. Because I am part of this category called man, and in order to learn about myself I can study this larger category of which I am a part. To discover something about myself. Because that is what I am concerned about, me! I want to know who am! And I know that in one case I am part of this larger collective, called man. And the history of that is impressed upon my psyche. This is what evolution teaches me. That I am part of this larger historical force called man. And whatever it ' s history has been, ... I possess. And to understand myself I must understand evolution. To me that ' s why I study history. Dion: At Worcester Tech the past . . . well, since I ' ve been here, the past three years, we ' ve been concerned with change. The changing role of the engineer in society, changing the aims and the entire make-up of the school. One of the problems has been, not that people are saying they ' re reluctant to change, but afraid that other people would be reluctant to change. Do you find that engineers-scientists, are reluctant to change? Horn: I don ' t know, I don ' t really think so. This seems to be a human problem. We get trapped by habit, as Herman Hesse says. Habit . . . life is change. And yet, there are elements within our life, within our society, within our psyche which tend to prevent us from moving on. We get caught in some kind of thing we feel comfortable in, the thought of leaving that comfortable environment, whether it ' s psychical or societal, and starting all over again with a new challenge, is a frightening experience because here . . . you might consider yourself successful in what you ' ve done or you might feel comfortable in what you can do, and therefore don ' t find it a hassle. And then suggest that you pick yourself up and change the whole thing with the possibility that you won ' t be successful in trying to do it or the possibility that it won ' t be as easy and there may be some hassles. It ' s a very difficult thing to do. It ' s not only the scientist, the technologist or the engineer who finds himself in that bag, it ' s man. • - 1 I •- - - -.-■ ' ... .■ j pr rv Horn: To define ourselves as an engineer is to become a machine. Because an engineer is a thing. It ' s a thing you do. It ' s an operational definition. It destroys the inner being. That ' s what we are. We are human beings. We are not engineers. A man who defines himself as an engineer has lost his soul. K ,  -3f? Dion: What ' s your view of the humane technologist? Horn: I don ' t know what that means. I don ' t know what a humane technologist means. Does it mean that the man is humane . . . the student who leaves here is a humane being and that no matter what he does he ' s going to breathe this humanit y into his creation? We all try to become humane, but I prefer to talk about the education of the whole man. That ' s what in fact they ' re saying. They are trying to make a human being a person who will become a technologist, as a profession and will also be a man. And by that I mean a human ... I don ' t know what it means to make a humane technologist, I don ' t like the expression, I don ' t think anybody understands exactly what it means, and I think it ' s a reflection of a confused attitude, about what we ' re trying to do here. Dion: Yes, it goes back to what you said earlier about engineering being only one aspect of man ' s life. Horn: There is a thing that you learn to do in order to make a living. But ultimately there ' s the human involved . . . the subject, the being who is the engineer, or the being who is doing engineering. And this is the man, the man we must educate. Horn: Just because you know English doesn ' t mean you ' re humane. I mean, to think that just because you have a training in humanistic studies you are therefore humane, is nonsense. This is incredible nonsense. One only has to look at a host of people who have majored in English, who have majored in History, who have become some of the most evil men in history, the most inhumane people in the history of the planet ... It isn ' t built into the humanities that you will develop a conscience, for example, that ' s what you ' re really talking about. However, the function of the humanities is to offer the student that body of knowledge he isn ' t able to get in the sciences. Which, in fact deals with the more humane questions. And in this sense, in order to educate the whole man, this body of knowledge must be made available to him. That ' s what I think, I hope, the WPI Plan has this in mind. If it hasn ' t, then it will collapse, and you will just be calling yourselves humane technologists or humanistic technologists ... If you ' re thinking of merely producing a technologist who has taken courses in the humanities, I think that you ' re missing the point completely. It doesn ' t work that way. Dion: Yes, I think that one of the reasons that they came up with this catch-phrase of humane-technologist is ... a concern, or a fear that people we ' re producing were not filling the larger role, that they would act without fear of consequence. Horn: Yes, I think it ' s much more important for a scientist and a technologist to be humane, only because he has such an influence in our daily life. He builds a machine and then ... we are all suffocating because of it. He discovers a technique and we ' re using it to exterminate a variety of people. The thought that an engineer ' s function is merely to produce as many technical gadgets or scientific gadgets as he can without the responsibility of . . . not having the responsibility for what he created, it is a very dehumanizing concept to think about. To think that a man could even see things in those terms! As merely a production machine, that he doesn ' t have an obligation to himself. To not ask himself whether his creation is a valid one or worthwhile, whether humanity should have it, I think is a terrible thing to do to oneself. To limit oneself in that way, to see oneself merely as a machine that produces so that someone else can decide what to do I , i « v Dion: This brings up the problem of progress for progress ' sake. Do you consider this a viable problem today? Horn: This gets back to the question, what is progress? If you think going faster or building things bigger or making more of whatever it is you have, is progress, I think you ' ve missed the point again. Progress has nothing to do with those things. Progress seems to be again, concentrated on the evolution of the human psyche. When man begins to progress, then you will notice the way he treats other men will differ. In the last three or four thousand years we have made hardly any progress. Again, if you define progress by that we have more things, more material things, or we can go to point A or point B faster, or we can go to point C which we were never able to go to before and you think that ' s progress, or that we can build things 70 stories tall rather than four stories tall, if you define progress, well, you know, that ' s your hangup. That to me isn ' t progress. And to talk about progress for progress ' sake, that makes no sense. I haven ' t the slightest idea what that means. eschatological (es ke te loj ekel) adj. 1. describing the doctrines of the last or final things, as death, the judgment, the future state, etc. . . Dion: What ' s your view of progress then? Horn: Progress is measured by the evolution of human conscious- ness. Simply that. When man becomes more conscious of who he is and what he is, that ' s progress. ,   r -• i X i- Dion: But a lot of people look at progress in this respect: the machine, the means rather than the end. Horn: Well, then that ' s an indication that we don ' t have progress. The mere fact that people look at it that way is an indication that there hasn ' t been very much progress. You know, what ' s the difference between Julius Caesar and Richard Nixon, or Lyndon Baines Johnson, or Kosygin, or DeGaulle — I mean, what ' s the difference between them. One can kill men faster because he has the technical know-how, or one is able to enslave more individuals because they have mastered the art of government bureaucracy. Is that progress? Dion: Well, how does an engineer enact that progress? . . . How does an engineer fit into this progress? Horn: He ' s a man . . . not that he ' s an engineer. He has to deal with the questions that all men have to deal with. He has to become conscious. He has to wake up. He has to find out what he really is. He has to face himself. And when he begins to face himself and . . . what he is, he ' s on the path. Then move further, seek to understand the unconscious nature of the being, and unity with the Self. The closer you come to unity with the Self . . . this is progress. Vl P m v5. Mi a f ; m H Horn: You can ' t move on unless you change; you stay where you are and you die. Life is change; it ' s the law of nature. The problem with our society is that we get hung-up on childhood, and although we seem to change physically we don ' t change spiritual- ly, so that we discover when we are fifty or sixty years old we ' re doing the very thing we were doing when we were ten years old: playing. We were playing cops and robbers, playing bad guys and good guys when we were nine years, and playing king of the mountain. And we seem to be doing the same thing now that we are forty or fifty, except that now we play with real guns instead of little cap pistols. Men haven ' t grown up; there has been little progress. When men grow up there will no no war. Human beings, men, don ' t kill each other. is ' fls OUN W 1 A H : bO Mb -if . «tf iW. .-gL ' JFJBlJA Wm c r ifir r rjrmm . t:%aiM 1; my 1 ' (•«! . ■ ?

NORTON ...pioneering pollution solutions through ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING Pollution of our environment is a continuing threat to our health, safety, economic welfare and aesthetic enjoyment. Survival dictates that our environmental resources must be protected from any acts which unreasonably lessen their qualities and adversely affect their level of usefulness. While considerable progress has been made in pollution control, our resources will be further impaired by population growth, commercial expan- sion, chemical usages and other technological advancements. As a member of the Water Pollution Control Federation, the American Water Works Associa- tion, and the New England Water Works Associa- tion. NORTON COMPANY is pledged to support sound pollution control measures and contribute its efforts to develop economical and effective means of control. And we mean just that. Whether it be land, water, or air. NORTON COMPANY helps environ- mental engineers keep it clean. NORTON abrasives are employed in systems which reduce solid wastes to facilitate disposal, incineration, or reclamation. NORTON porous ceramic filtration products dif- fuse the air which purifies billions of gallons of sewage daily in many metropolitan cities. NORTON fume scrubbers keep dust vapor, and noxious fumes from polluting the air near industrial plants. But most importantly. NORTON COMPANY salutes the environmental engineering fraternity everywhere for whatever part they play in this profound program. Norton Company. Worcester, Massachusetts.

Three O-Six Main Street Worcester, Massachusetts 01608 ' ,£ s ■ ..; What should a yearbook be? It can be as the word says, a book about that past year. A yearbook can be a big descriptive catalogue of clubs, sports, fraternities, faculty members, and of course, seniors. Should a yearbook be designed so that it benefits the reader most after he has graduated? The 1972 Peddler staff believes that a yearbook should in fact be all of these things and more. What ' s wrong with a yearbook that is designed to benefit the reader right now? Like the bird in Huxley ' s Island always chanting, Attention. Attention. Here and now, boys. , the purpose of the 1972 Peddler, in part, is to make the reader aware of his own psyche. Through copy and pictures we have tried to portray a student ' s fantasies, goals, his motivations and social pressures. More importantly, we have tried to stress the importance of change, the theme of the 1972 Peddler. Everyone has seen the change in dress and in hair length but what about changing goals, attitudes about the 9-5 job and in the meaning of our very existence? The 1972 Peddler is divided into two books. Volume One contains all the material that a yearbook wouldn ' t be a yearbook without. Volume Two is where we have tried to tell all that has been previously described. Because of soaring publication costs a hard bound book may not be possible again. We hope that this type of soft cover format meets with your approval. Although only a handful of people have put the 1972 Peddler together, we have never lost sight of the fact that this book belongs to the students. I would like to thank the staff for having the patience to wait until I found out how to be an editor. Thanks, as always, to Dean Van Alstyne for being a silent but a.lways-there-when-needed faculty advisor. Special thanks to his secretary, Susan Plante, for helping us with our advertising material. I hope that you live your life in such a way that when you bring the 1972 Peddler down from the shelf to show your friends, your children or just to look back you don ' t get more pleasure from escaping into your days at Worcester Tech than you do from the nowness of that time in your life. Attention. Attention. Here and now, boys.
