NOMINATIONS In accordance with the plans that ARE IN O R D E R have been followed for the past five or more years, the annual business meeting of the National Georgia Tech Alumni Association will be held on the night of May sixth.

The date of the meeting conforms with the time of the baseball series, in Atlanta, between Tech and Georgia.

If any of you care to send in your 1932-'33 nominations for National Alumni Officers, kindly bear the foregoing announcement in mind and return the ballot on the next page to the Georgia Tech Alumni Office, on or before April first. You are qualified to make nominations, if you have paid your current dues. Members of all classes through 1931 are also asked to nominate class secretaries for their individual classes.

The names of your present officers are shown at the top of this page; these loyal and efficient officials are just completing the first terms of their respective offices.

Your constitution provides that the President must be elected from the active alumni residing in or near Atlanta, as he is frequently consulted and presides at the meetings of the executive committee in addition to all regular meetings and any called meetings.

It is also necessary for the First Vice-President to live in Atlanta or its environs; however, it is greatly desired that you elect someone, other than an Atlanta alumnus, for the office of Second Vice-President.

Due to the fact that all funds must be disbursed through your Treasurer, after receipts, office records, and requisitions are made, it is provided that an Atlanta alumnus be nominated for that position which requires quite a little time and work without any specified compensation, other than the honor.

Board members must live within twenty miles of the center of the City of Atlanta in accordance with the provisions of the National Constitution.

ALUMNI In order to protect yourselves against W A R N I N G the fraudulent activities of a former Tech man of about the class of 1913 or from a person professing such qualifications, it is suggested that you read the following telegram from an Oak Hill, West Virginia, bank to a New York hotel: "Check fifty dollars, signed by— —, endorsed by—, cashed by you August eighth, no good. Try to get the m a n . " The person in question is well known by a number of our alumni; however, his address is not in the alumni files at present. He has a personality that inspires confidence and relates a story concerning an automobile accident and the necessity of obtaining more ready cash to pay a garage bill in order that he and his wife may proceed home.

Both the name and the story are likely to change but the " r a c k e t " will probably continue; so we again admonish you to be on the alert.

CONCERNING Every now and then we consider OUR MISTAKES it advisable to direct attention to the fact that each copy of the Alumnus bears a statement on its cover that it is published at Atlanta, Georgia, by the National Alumni Association of the Georgia School of Technology.

It is trusted, therefore, that any mistakes in the publication will be considered as the responsibilities of the National Alumni Association. The foregoing is mentioned in consideration of our institution, and as a result of some constructive criticism that recently fell to our lot.

We appreciate, need, and invite constructive criticism for we are human enough to err; yet, despite our shortcomings, it is interesting to note that we have been commended, also, on our recent efforts which have redounded to the benefit of some of our alumni and to the welfare of a student or two.

WINSTON CHURCHILL ADDRESSES STUDENTS The Right Honorable Winston Churchill, one of the outstanding statesmen of the British Empire, internationally famous speaker and author, was a recent guest of honor at a joint Military and Naval parade of the R. O. T. C. units of Georgia Tech.

The Honorable Mr. Churchill was accompanied by his attractive daughter, Miss Diana Churchill, who was escorted by Mr. Howard Moffett of the Naval unit and Mr. Hungerford of the Military R. O. T. C. After an introduction by Dr. M. L. Brittain, President of Georgia Tech, Mr. Churchill gave a short address to the student body and friends. He stressed the advisability of Military preparedness both as a LETTER FROM GENE TURNER DESCRIBES war and peace time measure. The discipline acquired WAR CONDITIONS IN CHINA through military training, Mr. Churchill went on to Just at these moments, with the Shanghai situation say, was of the utmost value to the young man about growing more threatening every day, a letter is re- to face the battles of life. ceived from Gene Turner from China. Mr. Turner, Mr. Churchill complimented Atlanta and the State whose mission is situated some nine hundred miles of Georgia on the noble part they played in the Civil from the invaded area, describing the effect already War and their courageous endeavors throughout the felt by China due to the Japanese intervention.

Famine threatens and a great deal of suffering will come, if quick action is not taken.

GRIEVANCES

Our attention has been called to the fact that some of the alumni are harboring grievances against one or more departments at Georgia Tech and, in view of this situation, it has been suggested that we request those concerned to write us in order that any real or imaginary slights may be "ironed out" in a satisfactory manner.

It is our belief that a sense of wrong often lingers in the mind because a word or thought is either left unwritten or unsaid, and we feel confident there would be but few reasons for complaint if all underlying causes were understood.

INFORMATION WANTED ON 1919 MEMORIAL PROJECT Mr. Warren G. "Yap" Young, B. S. in E. E. 1919, Box 1353, Cristobal, Canal Zone, desires very much to obtain some information concerning the 1919 class memorial. Mr. Young has written us in part as follows: "As I recall, a few days before graduation of the Class of T9, a meeting was held to discuss various matters of the time, and at this meeting it was voted that the residue of each of our damage fees would be signed over and put into a fund to establish a Class Memorial. I recall going into the Bursar's office and signing over the residue of my damage fee, and at the time several others did the same thing. Now just who was assigned to be in charge of this fund is not clear. I have in mind or have a vague idea as to who was appointed to act in this matter, but whether or not the party appointed just let this matter slip, as the rest of us have, or just what has been done with this fund is still a mystery to me, and it is a self evident fact that the memorial does not exist. Since all of us are getting along in years, and nearly thirteen years has elapsed [won't be long before some of our sons will be attending Tech] I believe that some of us should get after this matter and find out just what became of the first fund, if there ever was one definitely established and, if this fund can be located, let's get the Memorial accomplished.

I, for one, wish that this fund could be located, and if it is located and found not to be enough to make a substantial Memorial, I will be one of the first to contribute to making up the necessary fund. Now, since prices are low, we should be able to do very much along this line. If nothing can be found of the old fund, I will be among the first to contribute any reasonable amount toward the fund for a Memorial to the class of 1919. 'Come on fellows, let's think of the old Campus days just for a few minutes, and see if we cannot get this thing across. I am quite a few miles away from the scene, but believe me, I can be counted on to do my part, and I am sure we have members of this class who are now competent enough Engineers and Architects to design and execute this work, and since the matter has been so delayed, it would be all the more glory to the Class if some of our own talent is incorporated in the work.' " NEW STUDENTS ENTER TECH AT MID-TERM The school welcomes seventy-one new students who came in at mid-term. Of these, thirty-seven have never been to Tech before, while thirty-four of them are former students.

Registrar H. H. Caldwell was unable to tell accurately the number of students who have dropped out since the beginning of the fall term, but he set the number at approximately 225. However, it is highly probable that some of this number will return to school shortly. This gives the day school an approximate enrollment of 2,075 at the present time.

SURVEY INDICATES TECH STUDENTS SPEND NEARLY TWO MILLION DOLLARS YEARLY Tech students spend $1,750,000 in Atlanta during each school year! Although the exact figures cannot be obtained, fairly accurate figures have been compiled by the Marketing Analysis class under Mr. Brewster through questionnaires submitted to a representative 500 of the student body. Several weeks research was required to obtain the necessary total expenditures on the outstanding commodities purchased by the students throughout the year. The average amount spent by the student during the school year was approximately $795.

The purpose of the estimate was to aid the school publications in gaining new advertising by being able to give the new advertiser facts concerning the amount of money spent each school year on the product he sells. This is of inestimable value to the Tech publications and to the advertisers who use these publications as a medium in reaching the students.

The following is a list of the more common expenditures made by the students during the school year: Ties $11,125.00 Shirts..

21,045.00 Hats 7,295.00 Shoes .......

57,155.00 Top Overcoats 29,915.00 Raincoats 7,418.00 Suits ______ _ 88,208.00 Pajamas 7,500.00 Socks 9,973.00 Sweaters - 8,384.00 Underwear 9,625.00 Oil, Gas _ 34,224.00 Tires and Repairs 8 862.00 Transportation [Rented cars] ....

Of the new students entering, one is from Cuba, two from Wisconsin, one from Minnesota and one from New York.

Conrado Rodrigues, of Havana, Cuba, who has entered the Freshman class, is the present holder of the Cuban 100 meter dash. His time for this event is ten and three-fifth seconds. It is expected that he will prove a valuable man to Tech's track team.

A number of football prospects who have made names for themselves in prep circles were on the list of new entrants. (Technique)

COURTMEN WIN 3; LOSE 2 Take Series From Georgia Playing a return engagement with the University of Georgia in Athens, the Tech basketeers were defeated by the Bulldogs 25 to 15, which evened up the series between the two schools.

The Bulldogs caught the Jackets flatfooted in the opening minutes of play and scored 12 points while the Jackets looked on. After this flourish Gooding got busy and rang up 6 points for Tech. The half ended with Georgia in the lead 15 to 6.

In the second half Tech held its own against the speedy onslaught of the Bulldogs, but was not able to overcome the lead piled up in the first period. Gooding led the Jacket scorers, having 8 points to his credit when the gong sounded.

The next opponents the Jackets encounted were the Gators of the University of Florida, who journeyed up to Atlanta with the hope of avenging the defeat suffered earlier in the season at the hands of the Techmen.

The Gators hope proved groundless, however, and they were administered another severe lacing to the tune of 39 to 23. Perkins and Gooding were the Tech stars of the evening.

Next on the program was a game with the Mercer Bears from Macon. In a game played previously in Macon, the Bears nosed out the Jackets by a lone point in the last few minutes of play.

The game in Atlanta, however, left no doubt in the minds of those present as to which was the better team on the floor, for when the final whistle called the contest to a close the Bears were leading the Jackets by a score of 42 to 33. Gooding looked best for the Jackets.

Playing a return engagement with the Jackets in Atlanta, the Auburn Tigers were handed a 36 to 28 defeat at the City Auditorium.

The victory for the Jackets avenged their earlier defeat by the Tigers, when a victory was eked out by a three point margin. Bill Perkins was back to his old tricks and massed the total of 16 points during the encounter. Hugh Gooding heaped up 11 points and played a floor game worthy of the best in the game.

Revenge at last! Tech defeated Georgia in the final game of their three game series to make their victories two to the Bulldogs one.

The game, which was played in Atlanta, was one of the most spectactular of those played in Atlanta this season. At no time during the entire game was the difference between the two teams' score more than four points. The guarding was so close as to make a snow bird almost impossible.

At the half the Jackets were in the lead 12 to 10, which altho better than being behind, left no feeling of security in the hearts of the Tech followers who had trooped by the hundreds down to the City Auditorium to see the encounter. In the second half the fighting for points was even more bitter than the first. In the last two minutes of play Georgia led Tech 20 to 18, but the lead was overcome when Poole sank a beauty for the Jackets. With the score tied the teams became desperate, but the Jackets' fine passing quickly netted them two more points. Three free throws accounted for the remainder of the Jackets score.

Georgia pushed in another field goal just as the game ended.

With this victory, Tech entered the S. I. C. Tourney with a standing^of Q66,

ALUMNI PROMINENTLY MENTIONED

JACKET RUNNER IMPRESSIVE IN TRYOUT

Max R. Berry, B. S. in M. E., 1902, is President of The Electric Products Company, Cleveland, Ohio.

Ray Miller earned his right for an Olympic tryout by a brilliant run over the marathon distance of approximately twenty-six miles. The Jacket star made the run in the remarkable time of two hours and fiftyfive minutes. This is only 20 minutes more than the last Olympic mark. Ray made the run under the most adverse of conditions. It was very cold and the run was over the waterworks course. This is over concrete through the downtown streets, uphill and down and through the traffic of the middle of the day. This means that under the more favorable conditions of the Olympic run he will make much better time.

Miller's run has a great history behind it. Just a few years ago Ray was a run-down fellow, way underweight and under-developed. He took up his track work as a means to regain his health. Today he is one of the best, if not the best distance man in the colleges and stands an excellent chance of making the Olympic team of his country.

Nathan A. Brown, Jr., B. S. in Comm., 1923, has had some exciting experiences while acting as agent for the Retail Credit Company in Central America.

His territory now includes Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, British Honduras, and Nicaragua. He writes that he has flown all over Central America, has passed through innumerable revolutions, and has survived a serious earthquake and a volcano eruption.

William J. Cooper, of the class of 1928 in the Cooperative Department, is now District Supt. for the Central Hudson Gas & Electric Company. He is located at New Palz, New York.

Joe Guyon, of the class of 1918, has been chosen to manage the Asheville baseball team in the Piedmont League. Since starring in football at Tech, he has been playing outfielder for teams in the Southern Association and the American Association. He is now making his home at Jackson, Tenn.

Mr. Dean Hill was recently appointed Executive Secretary of the Throwsters Research Institute, 468 Fourth Avenue, New York, N. Y. Mr. Hill is secretary of the Georgia Tech Club of New York and the change of his address is shown on the club card insertion of the New York Club in this issue.

M. B. Hutton, B. S. in M. E., 1913, is contracting in Louisana with the Hutton Contracting Company of which he is President.

Jeff E. Kidd, B. S. in C. E., 1924, was recently elected to the American Society of Civil Engineers and has been promoted to Captain in the Infantry Reserve.

He is now serving on the Louisiana Highway Commission with headquarters at Baton Rouge.

T. R. Powell, B. S. in C. E., 1926, associated since graduation with the Goodyear Rubber Company, has been sent to Penang, in the Straits Settlements, to do research work. During his brief career he has been to England as a civil engineer for his company and upon his return was trained as a crude rubber expert at Akron, Ohio. Previous to his promotion he was Manager on the Goodyear Rubber Plantation, Zamboango, P. I. Clyde M. Wood, B. S. in C. E., 1915, has been promoted from Engineer, Executive Division, to Sales Manager for the United States, for the Automatic Sprinkler Corporation of America. He received his Professional C E. Degree at Georgia Tech last June.

SPRING FOOTBALL PRACTICE BEGINS The Georgia Tech football squad began spring practice the first of March, in preparation for the hard fall schedule. Tech is holding the training later than most of the southern schools although the 1932 schedule is harder than usual.

Stalnaker, who was lost last season on account of a broken leg, will be ready for service when the squad is called together.

The rest of the squad is in fine shape and a number of strong freshman are expected to report. Several seniors will be missing among whom are: Ezell, Isaacs, Flowers, Williams, Fincher, and McKee. Football Managers Named Coach Alexander has recently named the following football managers for next year: Seniors James Ray, Equipment.

W. C. Owens Finance.

Juniors Fry, F., Harris, G. N., O'Bierne, E. N., Pizatti.

Sophomores Connolly, D., Fisher, Holloway, Irby, LeRoux, Sheppard, Tufts, Zimmerman.

FROSII GRIDSTERS AWARDED T'S Twenty members of the 1931 Little Tornado were presented with silver T's in recognition of the time they served on the old gridiron this past fall. These awards were to be made at an earlier date when the numerals were presented but it was not until this past week that they materialized in the form of bright new silver T's with the individual names on them.

Those receiving the T's are: ' Brewer, Dean, Merrill, Mills, Perkerson, Phillips, Hinson, Rhodes, Roberts, Shaw Susong, Swift, Thompson, Teem, Wadsworth, Watkins, Williams, Wilcox, Morris, and the manager, Owens.

JACKET SWIMMERS DEFEAT EMORY AND GEORGIA On Saturday evening, February 20, the Jacket swimmers won their first meet of the season when they defeated the tankmen from Emory 55 to 20.

The superiority of the Techmen was never in question during the course of the meet. Only one first place, the 200 yard breast stroke, was relinquished by the Jackets, when Merrell of Emory set a new southern record of 2 minutes and 51.8 seconds.

Stover was the big gun for the Jackets winning three first places, namely in the 50 and 100 yard dashes and the fancy diving. Patton accounted for another first place when he outstripped his competitors to win the 220 yard freestyle. Young, Tech backstroke ace, won his event handily, finishing well ahead of all others in the swim. The winning of both relay races accounted for the remainder of the seven first places credited to the Jackets during the meet.

On Saturday, February 27, Tech defeated Georgia in a dual meet in which the team won all except one race. Fred Hodgson of Georgia broke the conference record in the breast-stroke to win his race for the University.

Don't be always taking your work or love affairs too seriously. It will only end by proving you know less and less of more and more.

The neatest trick you can pull is to slip into the nearest soda fountain or refreshment stand — around the corner from anywhere — and invite your soul to the pause that refreshes. There and then, seen through a rose-colored glass of delicious, ice-cold Coca-Cola, all things fall into true perspective and you become a man amongst men once more.
