fUMfttfl) E FINALLY changed the cover format. Been thinking about it for a long time, but we never could get up the nerve to do it until we had the magazine evaluated at the American Alumni Council Conference in July. The man said we should change it — who are we to argue with the experts? Hope it meets with your approval.

One other thing that stood out in our minds about the AAC conference was the almost complete lack of awards •to the Southern alumni magazines.

The Yankees made off with every single mention but two in the magazine field.

Both of the mentions went to our good neighbor, Randy Fort, for his excellent EMORY ALUMNUS. Tech did finish second in the promotion of new members in the direct mail judging, so we didn't come home empty handed.

GENERAL

We always like to hear from the alumni about the magazine whether it's a gripe or a compliment. If you have any suggestions for feature articles for future issues, drop us a line. We will be glad to look into the situation and see what we can do about it.

EALIZING that we could not give proper coverage in the summer issue to the loss of Tech's beloved president-emeritus, we are dedicating this issue to the memory of Tech's "grand old man," Dr. Marion L. Brittain. Dean George Griffin, one of our favorite people, has been kind enough to jot down a few of his memories of Tech's fourth president. See "The Dr. Brittain I Knew" beginning on page 6 of this issue.

HE recent summer issue of The ALUMNUS smoked out a large volume of comment, and we are happy to say most of it was complimentary.

However, the constructive criticism was just as welcome in this corner. The school authorities were overly kind in their remarks about our first attempt at a recruiting issue.

ATLANTA,

The conference was educational and exceptionally interesting to a magazine man. We were bombarded by experts in every field of magazine production, all of whom had a wealth of ideas to improve your magazine. Only one catch — no one offered any suggestion that wouldn't strain the old budget to the breaking point.

So when the Public Utilities Executives Course was held on the campus in July, we decided that it merited feature treatment. We selected a typical student from the group of 46 in attendance and followed him around with camera and notebook for three days. Got so bad, we were accused of being his personal public relations man. See page 8.

nomination as the bravest man in OURthese parts at this writing is Howard Ector, Business Manager of the Ath-

letic Association. Howard really stuck his chin out as we predicted in the editorial in this column in the May-June issue. His new program to secure better seats for the alumni is well under way, and the chorus of wails from the people losing choice seats is heard every day in the vicinity of the Athletic Association. Howard has really taken a verbal beating in the past few weeks and the football season hasn't even started. However, he and Bobby Dodd are going to stick to their guns.' Our congratulations to t h e athletic board, Coach Dodd and Howard are on page 17 in t h e Sports section.

THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

the State Capitol and arrived in time to hear Governor Rivers make his plea for State ownership of the radio station.

After the Governor had finished his plea, Dr. Brittain asked permission to address the Senate on this question. He was granted permission and immediately launched in to a fervent plea for r e tention of WGST in Georgia Tech's name. He ended the oration by informing the Senate that it was his opinion that the laws of t h e State would not permit either the Governor or the General Assembly to take endowment trust funds from t h e schools. Governor Rivers admitted immediately that h e was not fully aware of all the angles of the case, and asked Judge Duckworth to aid Dr. Brittain in modifying the measure to protect Tech's interests in this matter. Dr. Brittain had won a fight to save WGST once again. I often wonder who make that phone call to Dr. Brittain that afternoon. I don't think the Doctor ever mentioned the name of the benefactor to a soul — I know he never let me in on t h e secret.

Another one of Dr. Brittain's battles for the institution came about as a r e sult of the now famous (or infamous) Dean Cocking Case of 1941. Dr. Cocking, Dean of the School of Education at the University of Georgia, was dismissed by the Board of Regents, who had been packed by Governor Eugene Talmadge. A number of other educators in schools of the University System were dismissed at the same time. This political interference in the affairs of the schools led to the loss of accredited standing for Tech and the other institutions of the University System.

As a result of this action a chain r e action was set off in educational circles throughout the State of Georgia. Dr. Brittain and the other institutional leaders banded together and swore to do their best to immediately restore the schools to their accredited status.

The only w a y they could accomplish Courtesy Journal-Constitution this feat was to work towards the deAS A CONFIDANT OF PROMINENT MEN — Dr. Brittain with the late President feat of Governor Talmadge in the com- Franklin D.

They were taken at Grant Field.) threw their strength behind young Ellis Arnall of Newnan, They organized student meetings and urged all of the people of Georgia interested in education to vote for Arnall for Governor of the State.

Dr. Brittain put up one of the greatest fights of his career to see that his beloved school would be retored to its rightful place among the accredited schools. T h e campaign was a success, and in December of 1942, the schools were returned to an accredited status.

Less than two years later Dr. Brittain stepped down as President of Tech at the age of 78.

He served t h e institution well for 22 TECH'S CLASS OF '28 — presenting the bust of Dr. Brittain which stands in front of years. No Tech man could forget him. the Brittain Dining Hall on the campus. The ceremony took place at the '48 reunion.

Industry is sending its leaders of tomorrow back to colleges and universities.

This is the story of one industry's executive training program at Tech.

COURSE GUIDING SPIRIT William E. Wood, '07, and Rab Wilson discuss a point on the curriculum during the graduation party at the Athletic Club.

During the month of July, a very important short course was held on the Tech campus. Of four weeks' duration, the Public Utilities Short Course brought to the campus 46 of the outstanding junior executives of our so called "necessary monopolies."

The course was sponsored by the Southeastern Electric Exchange and had as its purpose the improvement of the level of management knowledge and understanding in order that the companies may secure more harmonious relations between employers and employees, better security for the investor and better service for the public.

Typical of these top executives of the near future is Robert W. "Rab" Wilson, executive assistant to the president of the Potomac Electric Power Company of Washington, D: C. An Amherst graduate, "Rab" has been in the public power business for 23 years (class average — 23 years). He is 46 years of age (the class average — 47 years), married, and the father of one child (the class average —1.7 children).

With his 45 fellow students, he lived in Howell Dormitory, complained bitterly about the Varsity noise during the evening study hours, ate in the school dining hall, attended classes from 8:00 to 4:00 five days a week, took part in panel discussions and bull sessions, and generally acted like a typical advanced college student. The only noticeable difference between this group and the average college group was the overly intense desire of the executives to absorb as much helpful material as possible in their four-week stay at Tech.

Time and time again they were told that the next ten or fifteen years will decide whether private industry in the public utilities field will survive in this country, and the burden of this fight for the survival of this system will rest on the shoulders of men like "Rab" Wilson, who will soon be moving in to the top management posts in the industry.

At the end of the course, a class book was produced by a student committee headed by "Rab" Wilson and distributed to the class members. President Van Leer was the principal speaker at the graduation banquet and handed out the certificates to the class.

Mr. William E. Wood, '07, chairman of the planning committee, was the guiding spirit behind the entire endeavor and deserves a large share of the credit for the success of this course.

Course Director for the class was Associate Professor James Sweeney, '48, of Tech's Industrial Management School and the entire program was co-ordinated by Charles Taylor, Director of Tech's Short Course and Conference Department.

Written opinion of the class members collected after the close of the course indicated a very successful accomplishment of the original aims of the program. It looks like the Public Utilities are not going to give up free enterprise in their industries without a COURSE DIRECTOR Jim Sweeney of Tech's I.M.

TRUE in 1907, and, in no time at all, was too small for the rapidly growing institution. Up until the present time, this building, with one minor addition, has tried to serve Tech's needs in spite of the growth of the student body, faculty, research, and collection of books and journals.

The Price Gilbert Library makes up for this forty-year lag by providing shelf space for 450,000 volumes (three times the old library's capacity) and

T H E P R I C E G I L B E R T LIBRARY overlooking the new campus from its vantage at the corner of Third and Cherry Streets. It holds 450,000 volumes and seats

A library is the very heart of an educational system. For years, Tech has worked under a handicap because of its inadequate library facilities. Those days are gone for a long time. On November 20th and 21st the new $2,200,000 Price Gilbert Library will be dedicated at the corner of Third and Cherry streets, the geographical heart of the campus.

The five-story structure, featuring plain lines and beautiful surfaces, is of contemporary design and overlooks the city from one of the highest elevations in Atlanta. Its tremendous area of glass floods the interior with natural light, creating an illusion of spaciousness so unlike traditional libraries. The north wall is of solid glass and the south wall is half glass and half roman brick. The east and west walls are constructed of almost solid brick to protect the interior from the sun. The building, 80 feet high, 180 feet long and 100 feet deep, is considered one of the finest institutional libraries in the country.

The Price Gilbert Library was planned to offer the broadest possible range of services to the students, teach10

ers and researchers. It contains study areas, reading rooms of unbelievable dimensions, receiving rooms, stack areas, the only comprehensive patent collection south of Washington, an exhibition hall, faculty lounge and a music room with four private carrels.

The wonderful use of color on the walls and ceilings makes it possible for one to find a study area to fit most any mood. The library will be furnished with contemporary natural birch furniture selected for its warmth and comfort. This is set off by additional luxury pieces in the way of lamps, rugs and accessories. The building is air conditioned throughout to protect the books and stored materials as well as to add to the comfort of the users of the building.

The new library is a far cry from Tech's first library, which was started

by English Professor (later President) K. G. Matheson in a room on the second floor of the administration building.

Through the efforts of Dr. Matheson, Mr. Andrew Carnegie gave $20,000 for a library at Tech. This library was opened

seating space for 800 people. For the first time in the history of the school, students, faculty, researchers and the library staff will have adequate work space in a library on the campus.

This building was made possible through the efforts and devoted interest of Governor Talmadge, the University System Building Authority, Chancellor Caldwell and the Board of Regents, President Van Leer, the late Justice S. Price Gilbert (the man whose name it bears) and Mrs. Dorothy Crosland, Tech's Director of Libraries.

For Mrs. Crosland, this is a dream come true. Since 1927, the year she became Tech's librarian, Mrs. Crosland has planned, worked and worried over a new library building for the institution. Like most dreams that come true— the new library is a result of years (26, in this case) of devotion, work, planning and initiative. Mrs. Crosland's work with the late Judge Gilbert when he was researching for his book, "A Georgia

Lawyer," paved the way to the initial grant that started the ball rolling for the new library. From that time on, she visited libraries, consulting with the officials, architects and other informative sources in order that she might gather and evaluate information on design, construction and equipment from the best sources available to her.

The Price Gilbert Library was tailored to meet Tech's special requirements, but every decision in its development was made in full knowledge of how similar library needs were successfully met elsewhere.

Dorothy Crosland earned the fulfillment of her 26-year-old dream. On November 21st, the Price Gilbert Library will be dedicated and ready for use.

All alumni are issued a cordial invitation to visit the new building, inspect it and participate in the dedication ceremonies. It will be well worth your while to see this impressive addition to the new Georgia Tech.

Glee Club on TV

Faculty Notes

Tech's Glee Club directed by Walter Herbert will appear on Ed Sullivan's Sunday Night TV show, "Toast of the Town" on the 11th of October. This will be the first appearance of a southern college glee club on this program. The show will get underway at 8:00 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Be sure and see it.

Dr. Hershel Cudd has been appointed director of the Engineering Experiment Station at Georgia Tech effective July 1, 1953. Dr. Cudd has served the station as acting director since December of 1952.

Experiment Station The station has recently received a two-year contract to study methods for producing pinic acid from alpha pinene, the major component of turpentine. The contract from the U. S. Department of Agriculture has, as its major objective, the development of economical and practical methods for producing the acid which has many interesting possibilities in industrial products.

Ray Tooke, Jr., '49, has developed a new substance that will make concrete last indefinitely. The product, a mixture of liquid synthetic rubber and a dry cement base has been dubbed "Tookite" but is being manufactured under the name Surco. Ray's research was commissioned by an Atlanta manufacturer, O. I. Freeman, who has this to say about Tech research.

Colonel Arnold D. Amorosa for the past three years head of the Department of Military Science and Tactics retired from active service on J u l y 31st. He will live in Atlanta. Col. Ernest B. Thompson replaced Col. Amorosa as head of the department.

Dr. Frederick Bellinger, '26, professor of chemical engineering, has been appointed to head the Chemical Science Division of the Engineering Experiment Station. An exceptionally well qualified scientist, Dr. Bellinger is also wellknown in technical circles for his articles on rocket fuels, chemical plant design and food preservation. He has been on the faculty since 1945.

One of the first big customers for "Tookite" was Georgia Tech which put a Vi inch coating on a section of the Grant Field stands to cover cracks and erosion caused by years of exposure.

Tech's vice-president, Cherry Emerson, '08, was elected a vice-president of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America at the opening national meeting of the group this summer in Los Angeles.

Professor William N. Cox, Jr., Director of the Institute of Public Safety, has been appointed a member of President Eisenhower's Conference on Occupational Safety. Professor Cox is chairman of the Educational Committee of this group, which is administered by the Department of Labor.

Radnor J. Paquette, professor of Civil Engineering, has been appointed to the office of director, educational division, American Road Builders Association, for a three-year term.

Textile Scholarships Three Georgia high school graduates have been awarded textile engineering scholarships by the Textile Education Foundation and will start their college education at Tech this fall.

"Tech gave us a laboratory equal in talent to any of the big companies, and it's no secret that millions of dollars have been spent for the same sort of thing."

In the beginning Mr. Freeman wanted a factory flooring. As it developed, he says he has just the thing for lining swimming pools, waterproofing plaster, wood or stucco, or making ornamental terrazzo flooring in any color at a fraction of the ordinary weight and cost.

The product sticks to glass, steel, wood, stone or concrete as firmly as if it were an integral part of the original substance as well as stands up under heavy impact, takes colors and polishing and even preserves the structural steel that supports the original concrete.

Dean of the Engineering College Jesse W. Mason has returned to his position after a year's absence in the "yearin-industry" program. Dean Mason spent the year with the DuPont Company in Wilmington, Delaware.

The scholarships, worth $1,000 for one scholastic year and renewable for four years, were awarded to Tommy Gene Hollis, Griffin; Joe Lester Davidson, LaGrange and Franklin Jefferson Stewart, Porterdale. The winners were selected

by Tech's Student Loan and Scholastic Committee headed by Executive Dean Phil Narmore, '25.

The Aluminum Company of America has made five new scholarships available for Tech students totaling $2500 annually. The scholarships are for the freshman year only, and the entire program will be reviewed annually b y the institution and the company. Need, scholastic standing and ability will be the prime factors in the selection of the students to receive these awards.

This is another example of the fine co-operation between the industry and Georgia Tech.

Coed Scholarship The Women's Chamber of Commerce of Atlanta has established a $300 annual scholarship for a woman student at Tech. It is the first such scholarship ever made available at the school. The Women's Chamber of Commerce was the agency indirectly responsible for the admission of coeds to Tech last year.

They petitioned the Board of Regents to admit women to Tech's engineering & architecture schools and in April of 1952 the Board of Regents voted 7-5 for admission of the coeds.

1200 Freshmen Enroll Tech's enrollment for the '53 fall term is expected to be the greatest since the post World War II boom of '46-'48. 1,200 freshmen and 300 transfer students are expected in this fall to swell the total to around 4,300. Included in this number are six new coeds.

GET THE "YELLOW JACKET" Remember the YELLOW JACKET, the Tech humor magazine? Well, it's available to Tech Alumni now at an extremely low rate.

If you would like to catch up on those famous 100-year-old jokes and look at the artistic ink splashed cartoons, here's your chance. All you do is send $1.00 to YELLOW JACKET, BOX M, GEORGIA TECH and the next six issues will be yours, postpaid.

Think of it, six issues of laughable stories on dejected students, subjected "rats," rejected alumni and objected professors. All this for one buck. Help the boys on the staff, they need it.

GRADUATION WEEK teas a crowded one as usual. In addition to presenting the diplomas at the commencement ceremonies, Colonel Van Leer congratulated Distinguished Alumnus Award winner, Jack Holman, '28, and spoke at the Harris Gate Dedicatory ceremonies honoring Dave Harris, '12, shown at right in center photo.

SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE FOR ALUMNI Dean Fred Ajax announces that Marshall Scholarships are available for Tech alumni for the school year 1954-55. These scholarships provide study opportunities in England and pay $1,540-$1,680 per year to single men and $2,240 per year to married men. Transportation to and from England is furnished by the scholarship fund.

Applicants must file by November 1, 1953. They must be under 28 years of age and have a college degree.

Any alumnus interested in this scholarship should write the British Consulate-General; National Bank of Commerce Building; 210 Baronne Street; New Orleans 12, Louisiana.

CHARLIE YATES, '35, Association Immediate Past President (left), presents the traditional wallet and card to President Randolph of the graduating class indicating that the entire class are now members of the Alumni Association.

COMMENCEMENT, 1953 Dr. Arthur S. Adams, president of the American Council on Education, delivered the commencement address at Tech's graduation exercises held in the Fox theater, Monday, J u n e 15th. Dr. Adams, one of the country's better speakers presented a short address on "New Dimensions of Technology."

The speech dealt with the engineer's new position and responsibilities in the modern society. Pointing out the large percentage of engineers now heading large companies, Dr. Adams concluded that the need for a well rounded engineer was now more apparent than at any previous time in the history of the world.

September-October, 1953

...... . '

Tech granted 935 degrees at this year's exercises. Included in this number were 13 men receiving the Ph.D. degree and 73 a Master's degree. The number of doctors' degrees awarded indicates the growth of the graduate division in three short years since the first doctorate was awarded at Tech.

After receiving their diplomas, the graduates were inducted into the National Alumni Association by President Charles R. Yates, '35. This ceremony consisted of the presentation to the Senior Class President of a wallet containing an alumni membership card.

Past President Wayne J. (Jack) Holman, EE '28, of the New York Club, received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from President Van Leer. Jack was cited for his many contributions to the welfare of Tech, his country and the community in which he lives as well as for his success in the world of business. He is the president of Chicopee Mills, Inc. Immediately after graduation, the National Alumni Association was host to a crowd of 1200 graduates, families and friends at the annual reception in the dining hall.

Dr. Walter S. Buckingham, Jr., is one of the number of fine young professors now teaching at Georgia Tech. He, like many of the other younger men on the faculty, intends to make teaching his 14

lifetime work despite the low salaries and other deficiencies of the career field.

What is it that lures exceptional young men like Dr. Buckingham into the teaching field? It couldn't be because

of his lack of background for a more profitable profession. Look at what he has crowded into his short 28 years on this planet: B.S. and M.S. degrees in Industrial Management from Tech; M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Economics from the University of Indiana; post graduate study at the University of London (England); winner of fellowships to both Indiana and London Universities; holder of the Wall Street Journal award for the outstanding college student in business studies (1948); veteran of 3V2 years in the United States Navy during World War II; and author of articles published in Georgia Review, Labor Law Journal, American Journal of Economics and Sociology, Journal of Personnel Management, Journal of Finance, Political Science Quarterly, American Economic Review and Southern Economic Journal.

We asked Walt Buckingham why he selected the teaching profession as his life's work. This was his answer: "The reasons why an economist, of all people, would select a profession which is in such a dismal economic plight may be a little difficult to explain. However, I shall try to justify my case.

"My reasoning is that the long r u n picture is far brighter than immediate circumstances indicate. The South is entering a period of development which will make other sections of the country appear in a near static stage. Teachers and researchers necessarily will play a major role in this transformation.

When the meaning of this expansion is fully realized, there is no reason why we should not be recognized, financially and socially, for our contribution.

"For every gain, a risk must be taken.

I am willing to stay in my homeland, the South, during this period of transition in order that I may reap what I believe to be the reward coming to those who are permitted the privilege of participating in the leadership which will be required of my generation.

"It is characteristic of an expanding and changing society that opportunities abound and initiative and talents are more fully utilized. The South is the place to be, and I firmly believe that under these circumstances the best opportunity to serve oneself, as well as the community, is in the teaching profession."

After reading this and looking at Walt Buckingham's record, you can see that Tech is building a ^ n e reserve of young teachers to move into its top teaching posts in the future. As long as there are young men of this caliber willing to gamble on the future, the proper education of succeeding generations will be in good hands — the future will be secure.

DODD STARTS NINTH YEAR AS TECH HEAD COACH A squad of 117 eager candidates greeted Coach Bobby Dodd as the fall drills got underway on September 1st with t h e annual press day. The popular Tech mentor and his staff got down to serious work the first afternoon to get ready for the Davidson game which opens an eleven game slate for the SEC defending champs.

The sports writers p u t the pressure on the 'jackets once again by picking them as co-favorites along with Alabama to win the '53 SEC diadem. Currently, t h e team is riding a 26-game streak without a loss, and the pressure is building u p on the team. Coach Dodd's feelings on the coming season were not as optimistic as the boys on "press box row." The following statement sums u p the outlook of the affable Tennessean: "We have a good squad, there's no doubt about that. But the change to limited substitution m a y have knocked us out of championship contention.

About half of our lettermen are learning new jobs. We're going to throw the ball and hope for the best."

Finding that man to throw t h e ball well is the main job concerning Coach Frank Boyles at the present time. Tech's last year's team was not noted for its passing ability and was primarily a running team.

Inside job for the important Quarterback post at this writing must go to "Pepper" Rodgers, last year's place kicking specialist and Number two quarterback. However, "Pepper" was injured in the season's first game scrimmage and will be out for a week or so, a factor that may hurt his chances to take over the first string job. Others in contention for the post are last year's starter Bill Brigman, who must learn defense; Burton Grant, u p from last year's "rat" squad; Jack Hall, a sophomore with little game experience, and Wade Mitchell, who has been the freshman sensation of the early practices.

The first game scrimmage of the year September-October, 1953

was held on Saturday, September 5th.

It did little to fill the coaching staff with over-confidence about t h e season ahead.

Many individuals looked good b u t t h e teamwork was missing. About 500 fans turned out to see t h e practice. They all came away muttering to themselves and anyone' within hearing distance about Freshman Mitchell's great showing at quarterback. Many a bet was made that the former North Fulton ace would be the starter at that position comes the month of November. The coaching staff restrained a collective happy grin and withheld judgment with a "the boy is a freshman and no one knows how he will do under game conditions."

To which you might answer, "so were Parilli, Wade, Bertelli and Krietemeyer."

Pass defense seems to be the number one concern of the coaches as the season approaches. The new rule probably hurt Tech more in this category than in any other place. Coach Lewis Woodruff, Tech's pass defense plotter, is working feverishly with the offensive backs teaching them the rudiments of a new phase of t h e game of football, at least it's new to them. This and other defensive practices for t h e offensive players, coupled with the defensive players' need to learn how to play Tech's complicated offense, has lengthened the practice ses-

THREE

sions just as Coach Dodd predicted in the A L U M N U S last spring.

With this year's schedule even tougher than last year's, the coaches are not looking for an undefeated season. In fact, Coach Dodd figures that an 8 won 3 lost record will b e very satisfactory.

Most of Tech's opponents are capable of knocking off the 'jackets on a given Saturday and "old,lady luck" will decide more than one ball game this fall.

Tech's toughest games should come from Florida, SMU, Auburn, Notre Dame, Alabama, Duke and Georgia; and remember, the last three named face the 'jackets on consecutive Saturdays.

It should be an interesting season.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first of a planned series on great Tech teams of the past. If you have a favorite Tech team jot down the story and send it to us. N e x t issue, Walter Coxe talks about his favorite Tech team.

THERE WAS A TEAM TO REMEMBER

THE SPIRIT OF '39 The annual "autumn madness" is at us once again. A new team, circa 1953, will be on the field representing the White and Gold against a tough group of foes. The start of a new season brings to mind some of the teams of the past and the thrills they gave the fans.

One of these great teams was the Orange Bowl team of 1939.

Last year, when all the sports writers, commentators and hangers-on were discussing the '52 'jackets a lot of them were throwing around a favored American adjective, greatest. They called that team Tech's greatest, and stirred up a good deal of dissension among the fans, who argued that the '28 team or the '17 team or even the '42 team were superior to the latest edition of the Golden Tornado. But not one of them ever came out in defense of the fearless squad of Houdinis that slicked their way to the SEC title and the Orange Bowl game.

The '39ers were a team with a scarcity of great natural talent. True, they had good solid football players at every position, but only one of them, End Bob Ison, made All-American that year. But this was a team loaded with heroes. It seemed that each game would produce a different hero to pull the 'jackets through.

The team lost two games — Notre Dame eased by them 17-14 in the inaugural when a last ditch pass fell just outside the outstretched fingertips of Halfback Billy Gibson (Billy, an Atlanta insurance man, says that the only thing anyone remembers about his football career is that he missed a pass that might have won the Notre Dame game.

In defense of Billy, it is pointed out that a review of the films makes it look more like a passing error than a receiving error.) Duke also squeezed out a 7-6 victory on Grant Field when a Johnny Bosch quick kick was blocked in the first quarter. Tech almost pulled this one out of the fire in the last quarter when they drove 60 yards to the Duke 17, but Buck Shaw's knee locked on him in the drop kick attempt at a field goal.

On the way to the Orange Bowl, they rolled over most of the better teams in the SEC: Alabama, Kentucky, Georgia, Auburn, Florida and Vandy. In the Orange Bowl they soundly trounced a good Missouri team led by the year's 16

best passer, Paul Christman. Their magic ball handling in that game so confused the Missourians that Howard Ector was tackled 23 times, although he only carried the ball 11 times. The game's radio announcer, Ted Husing, was even more confused. He ended up by saying that Alabama and Vanderbilt were playing in the Orange Bowl on that particular afternoon.

The line coach and nine of the members of that '39 team gave their lives in World War II. On Tech's Gold Star List are emblazoned the names Bobby Beers, Bobby Pair, Slim Sutton, Bubber Quigg, Joe Bartlett, Wex Jordan, Red Hood, Alvin Kirsten, and Floyd Boor, along with Line Coach Mack Tharpe.

The remarkable team spirit of '39 had carried on till the end.

COACH ALEX DAY Tech's immortal Coach Alex will be honored during the SMU-Tech game when a plaque duplicating one hung in the Football Hall of Fame will be presented to kin of the late Tech Coach by a member of the honors court of the Hall of Fame.

The Hall of Fame is located at Rutgers University, site of the first inter-

of Jakie

Rudolph's

collegiate football game. The award games are part of a nation-wide drive to raise funds to erect a building for the grid shrine established in 1949. Each home team for an awards game has agreed to make a financial grant to the Football Hall of Fame. Coach Alex is one of 22 coaches who, along with 32 players, have been elevated to the shrine.

WILLETT TAKES T W O C R O W N S F r a n k "Tiger" Willett, EE '45, r e peated his victories of last year in both the State and City singles tennis matches during the summer. Frank also won a share in the State doubles championship as he and his old Tech partner, Howard McCall, '46, upset Bitsy Grant and John Ager in t h e finals.

The "Tiger" stormed past Atlanta's perennial star, Bitsy Grant, in the finals of the State matches to annex his third September-October, 1953

straight state crown and bring his total of state cups to four. He previously had whipped Don Floyd with ease to win his third city crown.

Frank is employed by Westinghouse as an electrical engineer and when queried as to his future tournament plans, h e answered that he was considering giving up competitive tennis.

To which we answered, "So was Bitsy Grant ten years ago."

in the May-June issue that Howard Ector had assured us that this program would be carried out. He has 'kept his word despite a good deal of personal abuse and pressure. The Athletic Board, Athletic Director Bobby Dodd and Business Manager Howard Ector have our sincere congratulations and thanks for the first forward step in the season ticket policy at Georgia Tech in quite a few years.

SPORTS SHORTS The All-Stars Coach Dodd's college all-stars lost to the professional champions, the Detroit Lions, in the annual Chicago Tribune charity classic played at Chicago's Soldiers' Field the night of August 14th. The final score was 24-10 and the pros were in command all the way.

Tech stars from last year's squad who took part in the game were George Morris, Pete Brown, Hal Miller and Bobby Morehead. Backfield Coach Broyles and Line Coach Graves assisted Coach Dodd with the coaching.

The Coaches Tech Coaches Bob Bossons, '50, and Bo Hagen became fathers within three days of each other during the summer.

PROMISING FRESHMAN SQUAD STARTS DRILLS

After a two-years' absence, old "Juvious Pluvious" showed up in all his glory for Tech's 1953 opener with Davidson. The steady downpour which fell throughout the game didn't seem to slow down Coach Dodd's horses in the 'slightest as the Tech mentor used everyone on the bench and a few from the crowd trying to hold down the score.

Leon Hardeman got the 'Jackets off to a fast start by scoring two quick touchdowns in the first twelve minutes of the opening quarter. Quarterback Bill Brigman's slick ball handling helped this early spurt considerably and one time so confused the officials that they blew the whistle on Glenn Turner sans ball. After adding a safety to their list, the first team went to the bench for the day.

With a 16-0 lead, the number two team came on led by freshman quarterback Wade Mitchell. Brother Mitchell promptly threw his first collegiate pass 33 yards to end Bill Sennett for six more points and after Joe Hall swept end for another score, the third team appeared on the field.

Burton Grant turned loose a very perturbed Larry Ruffin and this squad added 14 more points on two drives, sparked by the freshman star of '51. The fourth stringers composed almost exclusively of "rats" added a safety and a touchdown in the last quarter to bring the final tally to 53-0.

One of Tech's finest "rat" squads in years showed up for the opening practice sessions on September 1st. All 40 boys signed to a grant-in-aid by Tech were on hand for the first drills.

boys have moved up to the big time already. Competition on Coach Bo Hagen's squad will be terrific this year as a number of high school standouts are carried on the roster. Hopes are high for another victory over Georgia in the traditional Shrine game on Thanksgiving Day.

with the CLUBS THE ALUMNUS SALUTES THE SOUTH TEXAS CLUB "They just naturally do things bigger and better in Texas."

This oft quoted and oft kidded Texas adage was emphatically proven to us last month when we received the report of the July 24th meeting of the South Texas Georgia Tech Club of Houston. The report showed that the Texans had broken all records for a regular Georgia Tech Club meeting outside the City of Atlanta.

A crowd of 175 members and honored guests, including four future Tech students, turned out for the combination dinner meeting and swimming party held at the Prudential Insurance Building in Houston. Charles Fleetwood, '23, a vice-president of the Prudential organization, deserves a special bit of recognition for his part in securing the facilities of the luxurious building for the affair.

The record breaking function got underway at 4:30 P. M. with a swimming party in the modern pool. This was followed by conducted tours of the building, a cocktail session and the dinner meeting.

During the dinner meeting, the following officers were elected to carry on the fine work of their predecessors: J a k e Mason, '20, president; Ed DeJon, '42, vice-president; Arnold Allen, '42, secretary and Jack Webb, '48, treasurer.

Elected to the Board of Directors were Bob Hill, '47; Larry Williams, '51; Stuart Keene, '49; Jay Cannon, '35 and Palmer Greene, '42.

Due a "lion's share" of the credit for the success- of this and other Houston functions of the past year were last year's officers: Jay Cannon, '35, president; John Baldwin, '44, vice-president; Palmer Greene, '42, secretary and Dave McClanahan, '41, treasurer.

The South Texas Club has consistently had attendance above 100 at their meetings, and now with their record breaking crowd of 175, the Texans are going to be hard to beat. Our congratulations to the club for a fine example of the Tech spirit.

ALUMNI JN THE NEWS Gay Thrash Released by Reds Lt. Col. William Gay Thrash, CE '39, of the Marine Air Corps, was released by the Chinese Communists the next to the last day of the prisoner exchanges.

Lt. Col. Thrash arrived at Panmonjum, Korea, on September 5th. He had been a prisoner of the Reds since December, 1951, but his wife had never been officially notified of his status. She did, however, learn that he was in a prison camp last April from some of the first released prisoners.

Hit on an observation mission by communist antiaircraft fire, Thrash parachuted into enemy territory and was not heard of again until last April. His

Co/. Fielder

wife, the former Virginia Merry man, and his two sons, William Gay, Jr., 10, and Ralph, 6, kept a constant vigil for his return. They never gave up hope.

Lt. Col. Thrash is a member of one of Tech's most famous families. He was a football, track and swimming star while at Tech. His father, now deceased, was on one of Tech's early football teams, and his brother Kenneth played on the famous '28 Rose Bowl team.

Lt. Col. Thrash holds the DFC and Air Medal for World War II action and the Silver Star, Legion of Merit and clusters to his Air Medal for his part in the Korean crisis.

STATE TOP GRAZER A 32 year old alumnus of Tech who believes there's "more money in farming than in mechanical engineering," was awarded the top state prize in the 1953 Georgia grazing system contest.

George Eager, '42, of Lowndes County (near Valdosta) received $300 as state winner of the contest designed to im-

prove Georgia's pastures. He was previously awarded $100 as top winner in the South Central district. He began farming 3V2 years ago and now owns 200 Hereford cattle on about 150 acres of permanent pasture.

You can't beat those 'Recks even in an unfamiliar field.

Retires

Col. Kendall J. "Wooch" Fielder, TE '15, retired from the United States Army on July 31st after 36 years of service to his country. Colonel Fielder retired in his World War II grade of Brigadier General.

Fielder quarterbacked the 'jackets for two years and also won letters in baseball, basketball and track. He enlisted in the army in 1917 after marrying his childhood sweetheart. He considered leaving the service at the end of World War I, but his wife talked him out of it.

He says that he has never been sorry that he listened to her.

Colonel Fielder was military intelligence chief at Pearl Harbor when the infamous sneak attack was made by the Japanese. He makes no bones about the fact that there was no preparation or forewarning of the attack. To the services, it was a complete surprise.

The retirement ceremonies were held in Honolulu where the Colonel plans to make his permanent residence after a short visit to Georgia.

LINES TO A LINEMAN ILLUSTRATED BY NORMAN

ROCKWELL

No|o word of pen or stroke of artist's hand No flowered phrase or oratory's boast Need tell the story of the world you've made.

'Tis writ upon the pages of the land From north to south—from coast to coast.

Those poles you mount—those lengthened strands you string Are not just sturdy uprights in the sky That march across the miles in proud parade.

You've made them into words that help and sing A doctor's call, good news, a lover's sigh.

Deep etched in time the record of your skill The work you've done—your willingness to do The fires and storms you've tackled unafraid.

Your signature is carved on every hill Yours, too, the creed—"The message must go through.'

THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

From head Your friends, the glycols, help shampoo your hair, smooth your skin, and even improve the fabrics of the clothes you wear F E W O F US would recognize a glycol if we saw one. Yet practically all of us are in constant and pleasant association with this man-made family of chemicals which are known to chemists as the dihydroxy alcohols.

SMOOTH AND PLEASANT-That pleasant feeling you get from many modern skin lotions, sun-tan creams, or shaving creams—that's the work of some of the glycols. The latest shampoos don't leave your hair dry and brittle—thanks to the same glycols.

THE FIRST MAJOR USE of glycols was in "Prestone" oneshot anti-freeze. Today, everywhere you turn glycols are at work for you. One is a vital ingredient in a new, man-made textile fiber. Others keep liquid mixtures, such as medicines, cosmetics, and hair tonics, from separating in the bottle.

They keep tobacco fresh and moist, cellophane soli and pliable, and also are used to make your car's new improved hydraulic brake fluid.

UCCs Trade-marked

FROM OIL AND GAS—These busy aids to better living are obtained from petroleum and natural gas. Certain of the glycols in turn are used to purify the natural gas that serves so many of us in our homes and at work.

UCC PRODUCES GLYCOLS—As pioneering leaders in the field of petroleum chemistry, the people of Union Carbide produce great quantities of glycols in many forms—and hundreds of other chemicals that make ours a better world in which to live.

STUDENTS and STUDENT ADVISERS: Learn more about the many fields in which Union Carbide offers career opportunities. Write for the free illustrated booklet "Products and Processes" which describes the various activities of UCC in the fields of ALLOYS, CARBONS, CHEMICALS, GASES and PLASTICS. Ask for booklet E-2.
