A M R . SINCLAIR died on August 12. Until the day of his death we hadn't thought of the slim, little custodian of the Old Gym as having a first and middle name. Everybody around here just called him Mr. Sinclair. He was that kind of a man—quiet, unobtrusive—the personification of all the little, semiretired men who hand out the towels and locker keys in thousands of gymnasiums and swimming pools.

Yet -when he died, he was mourned deeply by people from all walks of life.

He was also that kind of a man.

We first came to know him during the intermissions of many dances we played for in the old Gym during our misspent youth. He was the quiet man you just naturally talked with during the smoking time when you were trying to forget the exhaustion that was winning the constant battle with you because you were involved in too many things at one time.

We talked of many things during those short, 15-20 minute, breaks. We talked of Scotland, the land of his birth and of our forefathers. We talked of the hopeless task of keeping a piano in shape in a university gymnasium. We talked of the dancers and their seemingly limitless energy. And we even talked one night long ago of the proud one, death, who would one day claim us all. Long after we had forgotten the look of a musical note on a manuscript, we still remember those talks with the old man at the Old Gym. He was also that kind of a man. * * *

they were kidding, he backed off and didn't show up for the award dinner.

But he kept the memorandum. We felt that you might like to read it as the old man put it down 12 years ago: "When, in the Spring of 1930, I realized that the Depression had actually wiped out my lumber business and my interest in a hotel, I was bewildered. Coach Alex offered me a job at the tennis courts; it was "pennies from heaven"—$14.00 per week. But I was as proud then as I am today to be a part of so noble an institution, and to work for and with such splendid people.

"My association with the students, too, has been rich and rewarding— 621,509 of them have been admitted to our swimming pool since October 16, 1939. Faculty members and their families, too, have been welcome guests.

"I have been kidded a lot about the exact number of towels I have checked in and out. It has been my proud privilege to protect every trust accorded me.

"The growth, honors, and victories which have come to Georgia Tech, have seemed only natural and right, to me, for I knew the efficient power which lies behind every achievement and accomplishment.

"These have been twenty-seven happy years. I am humbly and deeply grateful to my superiors and to my associates."

The memorandum reflects the man, David B. Sinclair. His pride in his work and his school shines through every line. * * * A BEGINNING ON PAGE 5 of this issue,

It Could Have Happened Only in A m e r i c a Visitors to our shores usually are pleasantly surprised by the efficiency and availability of American telephone service.

Calls go through promptly and clearly, millions of people in all walks of life have telephones, and the cost is small.

The fact that Americans themselves are seldom surprised by these things is a tribute to the growing excellence of the service.

This efficiency and economy are no accident. They have resulted largely from the way the Bell System is organized, and through its large-scale programs of research and improvement.

No other telephone system in the world can begin to match this country's service — either in terms of facilities or operating efficiency. It could have happened only in America, under the American free enterprise system.

OR THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR, the Alumni As-

sociation is co-sponsoring with the Georgia Tech Foundation a special alumni informational program: Operation Four Cities.

This program is built around a series of giant-size alumni rallies in four different cities each year. Main feature of these rallies is the presentation of "The Georgia Tech Story" by a panel of Tech leaders (President Harrison, Coach Dodd, the Foundation president, and the Association president). This panel discussion is designed to bring the alumni up-to-date on Tech's philosophy of education, its new building program, the athletic program as related to academics, the faculty supplementation program, and the alumni's role in the future. The program is short, to-the-point, and amazingly effective.

The effectiveness of this program can be measured by comparing the 11th and 12th Roll Call figures for the four cities visited last year—Miami, New Orleans, Houston, and Dallas.

Forty-five years ago this month, the gentleman on the cover first stepped on the Tech campus as a member of the last of the sub-freshman classes. Since thaKtime he has grown to become a campus legend. Beginning on page 7 of this issue he offers advice to the newest of freshman classes.

Subscription price (35c per copy) included in the membership dues. Second class postage paid at Atlanta, Georgia.

The 1959-60 Operation Four Cities program is already at the halfway point. The panel has visited Nashville, and Memphis, Tenn. and will be in Chicago, November 6, and New York, November 19. The response from alumni in Nashville and Memphis has been just as encouraging as it has been in other cities during the past two years.

The man who has done most of the organizing of the Operation Four Cities program since its inception is leaving the Alumni Association to become the Business Manager for the Athletic Association. Bob Eskew has done a superior job as Associate Secretary of the Alumni Association for the past three years.

He will be missed. But we know that he will do an equally good one for the Athletic Association and for Tech alumni in his new position. . /

September, 1959

HE HEARTIEST OF GREETINGS to you and your classmates.

You are beginning a college career—an experience completely different from any in your past history.

In the next few days, you will be welcomed by many persons through all conceivable types of signs including handshakes, warm smiles, offers of free meals, gruff "fill out the forms," and just plain "good mornings."

Few periods of your stay on this planet will be as full of change and wonder as the one you are now going through. And during these few days of adjusting, you will form friendships that will endure for your entire life.

In the pages that follow, I will try to tell you a few things about one man's Georgia Tech—things that may be of use to you in this period of confusion and change. I realize that no speech, no letter, or no article can possibly convey the spirit of an institution to the neophyte. For this is a personal thing—one that you must capture for yourself. However, I trust that this quick preview will spoil none of the pleasure or frustration of these exciting days.

WELCOME 1963—continued

Through traditions, the past will be with you when you enter here

T

>^1 ^&T The famed Tech tower, most commonly used symbol for the school, marks the top of the administration building, oldest building on campus.

HE NEXT TIME you walk across the campus, take a good look around you. The signs of those who have preceded you are everywhere. Some of them—like those pictured on these pages—have become a part of the traditions of Georgia Tech. Others are but transient billboards which serve a single purpose and then disappear forever.

At any institution there are also other, less tangible traditions than the ones pictured here. Passed down from class to class, they are often the most important ones of them all. Georgia Tech's famed Rambling Wreck song was once just a drinking ballad of unknown vintage kept alive in this manner. And to this day, the word on the toughness of Tech's curricula is handed down from class to class. When you encounter this initially it might help you to know that you will not be the first to have cursed this place for its demanding faculty. And if I were asked to name the one thing that has made Georgia Tech's superior reputation, I would point to this tradition of high and exacting standards properly enforced.

A reminder of a class are the benches and sundial on the old campus. The Class of 1908 presented them to Tech. And down on the Alexander Memorial Building, a bust of Coach W. A. Alexander, one of Tech's three coaches, is located.

At meetings like the annual business meeting, Tech alumni get together to report their program's success. Tech alumni now contribute over $189,000 annually in aid to the school.

At the annual Parents' Day, Tech parents are briefed on the school's program as well as meet Tech's officials like President Harrison, shown on the left at the 1959 Parents' Day.

WELCOME 1963—continued

A great number of people are interested in your education

A

you are cursing these exacting standards > and the unyielding faculty; and when you are tempted to give it all up as a bad try (and there will be a day or two when it may come to this) remember that many people are investing a great amount of time and money in you: The faculty itself is investing in you. These men devote their lives to learning. They are constantly researching in order that they may know more about their field and thus be better prepared to teach you.

The alumni are investing in you. They are scattered all over the world and they have but one thing in common—Georgia Tech. And they believe in it so much that over 10,000 of them contribute annually to the roll call in hopes that this money may in some way improve their school. When you begin classes, chances are that the man who teaches you will receive a supplementation from this fund.

The taxpayers of Georgia are investing in you. Percentagewise, this state gives a great deal to higher education. The buildings, new and old, that house your classrooms and laboratories have come from the taxpayers. The basic salaries of your teachers come from these taxpayers. These people (millions of them) you will never see, yet you will owe them a lot by the time you finish here.

Industry and business is investing in you. They have helped with financing special equipment. And through development and scholarship funds they will help finance your education.

And, of course, your parents are investing in you.

If you fail to give your best you will let down a great number of people.

ND WHEN

The teacher-student relationship is one of the most important in the student's development (above). And the interest of the taxpayers of Georgia in higher education is also vital.

But in the Final Analysis The Answer is Up to You

B

UT all of the traditions, teachers, alumni, taxpayers, businessmen, industrialists, and parents that make up the platform on which Georgia Tech is built cannot get you through this place without one man. That man is you. In the long run it is your individual attitude and effort that will make the difference between success and failure both here and in your life's work. You are the key. And this is another thing that you will discover for yourself either here or at some future time and place.

ENGINEERS AND PUBLIC POLICY s

T

A distinguished United States Senator with a strong interest in mtific matters discusses some public responsibilities of engineers ODAY'S WORLD is one of accelerating

change. It is a world in turmoil. In Africa and in Asia man's natural instinct for freedom is being fulfilled— not all at once, and not always peacefully.

It is a world of mounting population.

In a short 40 years the earth's population will more than double. That means new pressures in many places.

It is a world of nuclear power. The atom gives us either the power to destroy the world or to build a richer, and a better life.

It is a hungry world. Underdeveloped peoples are struggling to raise themselves out of poverty, disease and hunger, while our own country struggles to overcome its food surpluses.

It is a competitive world. We are faced with the unrelenting challenge of the Soviet Union.

The challenge is military, of course, but it is also economic, educational, psychological, political, and cultural.

Theirs is a total challenge, requiring from us a total response.

In short, this nation is engaged in the September, 1959

greatest competition ever undertaken by a free country. We are up against the most enormous problems of our history.

We must use all our resources and use them wisely. And of all our resources, the richest are the minds and spirits of free men.

We should be putting our best brains to work on the crucial issues of national policy.

The fact is, however, that much of our brightest talent is lost to the national effort. We do not enlist—as we should—the full help of the scientist in general, and in particular, the engineer.

This situation is not unique to any one Administration. My remarks apply to what is a national problem—a national shortcoming.

Since Sputnik, we have made some progress in mobilizing our best scientific talent. We now have, at the highest level, a Special Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, and a Science Advisory Committee which is trying to develop a national plan for exploring and expanding the frontiers

of science. We have recently established a National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

But progress so far has been piecemeal and stop-gap. We still have much to do to make effective use of scientific and engineering talent—in the interest of a national policy of survival.

Congress, as well as the Executive Branch, requires scientific counsel. I now serve on several committees which must utilize the advice of scientists— on Finance, on Interior, on Aeronautical and Space Sciences, and on Atomic Energy. But perhaps the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy offers the most instructive examples of how Congress requires the help of the scientist and the engineer.

This Commitee, composed of nine members of the Senate and nine from the House of Representatives, was established by the Atomic Energy Act of 1946. Its original function was to be a watchdog for Congress and the public over a super-secret operation of great importance to the national defense. Over Continued on page 14 13

About the Author Of late, Georgia Tech's Commencement speakers have a knack for becoming the center of a great deal of national publicity just about Commencement time. This year's speaker—Senator Clinton P . Anderson (Dem., N . M . ) — proved n o exception. By the time he arrived in Atlanta to m a k e the speech published on these pages, the former newspaperman and insurance broker was embroiled in a no-holds-barred battle to halt the appointment of Lewis Strauss as Secretary of Commerce. Senator Anderson first entered public office in 1933 as State Treasurer of New Mexico. In 1940, he was elected to the House of Representatives, and he was returned there by the voters in 1942 and 1944.

President H a r r y T r u m a n appointed him Secretary of Agriculture in 1945. H e served in this post till 1948 when he resigned to run for the Senate. He won this election and then was re-elected in 1954 by the voters of New Mexico.

Until the Strauss battle, he was best known for his work as chairman of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy.

ENGINEERS-continued the years it has also become a creative policy maker both in the military field and more recently in the area of civilian uses of atomic energy. Many of its members have worked in these fields for a longer period of time than most of the members of the Atomic Energy Commission or many of its senior officials.

This reservoir of experience is an enormous advantage.

Faith and the atom But of equal significance has been the abiding faith of many members of the Joint Committee in the ability of our scientists and engineers to harness the tremendous energy of the atom for our military defense and peaceful development.

This faith, backed by experience, led the Committee— to advocate with others the development of the H-bomb to support the NAUTILUS project for a nuclear-propelled submarine to recommend acceleration of the civilian atomic power program, and to increase basic research and engineering facilities.

In all its work the Committee must rely on advice from experts. Let me suggest four examples: First, should we now move ahead with a $105 million linear accelerator or a $200 million particle accelerator?

Accelerator development has been keenly competitive in this country. Several years ago a group of mid-western universities got together a group called MURA, which proposed to construct the world's largest accelerator. But Stanford's suggested linear accelerator—to 14

be built in California—has apparently beaten out other types. Should we take Stanford's program—or MURA's—or call a plague on both their houses and have neither? Congress must decide. In that decision, the testimony of physicists and engineers will be indispensable.

Second, should we authorize alterations in the Shippingport reactor to take it up to 150,000 kilowatts in power?

Last week the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy reported out an authorization bill for AEC expenditures. It carried $5 million for additional work at the Shippingport plant of the Dequesne Power and Light Company. The reactor there is owned by the government, the generating equipment by the distributing company. Admiral H. G. Rickover had proposed that the government spend $5 million to raise the capacity of that plant from 100,000 kilowatts to 150,000 kilowatts. This expenditure would be over and beyond the budget estimate.

The government already has. $100 million invested in the reactor. Should it spend $5 million more to give us further data on the commercial possibility of a pressurized water reactor in the development of electricity from atomic power? The engineer can help us to an answer.

Third, should the new $125 million reactor at Hanford, Washington, be a single-purpose plutonium reactor or a reactor convertible to electricity?

If the demand for plutonium suddenly drops off because of a disarmament agreement, 300,000 kilowatts or more of electricity might be generated by a converted plant, and fed into the Northwest power grid. Thus part of the cost of the plant would be salvaged. Even if the demand for plutonium should not drop

off, the Congress might vote to add the convertible feature in order that the surplus heat might be utilized rather than wasted. The sale of this heat in the form of power might cut the production cost of plutonium by a third, possibly cut it in two.

Do we spend the additional $25 million to make the reactor convertible, or do we save it? To deal with this type of problem Congress must draw on the advice of competent engineers.

The nuclear carrier problem Fourth, should a new carrier for the Navy be propelled by conventional or nuclear power?

On the one hand, the designer of the nuclear submarine thinks it would be a waste of money and effort to build the conventionally powered ship. On the other hand, the Navy says that to make it a nuclear carrier would add $120 million to the $260 million the Navy now plans to devote to it. Do you spend this $120 million, or save it? Here again the engineer is the adviser to the Congress, and his judgment is essential.

Granted, the need of advice from scientists and engineers—there are some very real difficulties in practice.

For one thing, scientists and engineers with equal competence, objectivity and integrity come up with different ideas and conflicting counsel. This has been the case, in all the examples I have just cited. As a result, the politician must constantly choose between divergent scientific advice. To make any sort of. sensible -decision we ourselves often have to go deeply into the technical aspects of a problem.

Furthermore, the scientist himself may not distinguish clearly between technical judgments and political judgments. There Tech Alumnus

is a crop of what I am compelled to call "political scientists"—some of whom have large reputations and many followers, and are becoming known as "opera stars." I must say, however, that engineers, by and large, by reason of their nature and training, have not put themselves in the "opera star" category.

Confusing reports Our effort to obtain full information on the fallout problem has been plagued by confusion among scientists between "technical advice" and "political judgment."

For example, the General Advisory Committee of the AEC recently issued a report on the atomic fallout problem.

This report was submitted in the middle of hearings being conducted by the Special Subcommittee on Radiation of the Joint Committee. You might be interested in -reading this report, for its conclusions strike me as unscientific reporting. This report gave no consideration to the extent and effects of the future testing of nuclear weapons. It also minimized the effects of weapons tests to date and ignored the problem "hot spot" areas in our north central states. I might add that these were .among the problems we were tackling in our Congressional hearings. The people of America—yes, of the world— have a right to better information on fallout and to have it soon.

Or take the case of our Aircraft Nuclear Propulsion (ANP) program—on which the government has spent almost a billion dollars. We on the Joint Committee have thought that if this large amount of money is to produce any results, we should at least aim the early flight of an experimental prototype aircraft.

Yet each time the decision is almost reached to move to the prototype state, some new scientific committee set up to review the program gets cold feet.

A classic example occurred in 1958 when a group went to the main ANP laboratory near Cincinnati and spent about two and a half hours reviewing the general progress and problems of the project. As a result of this very brief review, together with an analysis of past reports which were directed to a different objective, the group recommended that the government should not press forward with the project to the flight prototype stage. The question which we on the Joint Committee asked was: "How can scientists and engineers make such a recommendation with so brief a review of the problem from a firsthand September, 1959

standpoint or even from the standpoint of a review of reports?" I might add that we are still asking this question concerning the ANP program.

Some of the questions I have mentioned concern the pure field of science.

Many of them, however, would beckon the engineer to aid in the making of public policy. I have separated—in that sentence—the engineer from the scientist.

Dr. J. R. Killian, Jr., whom I regret to see leave his post as Special Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, first called my attention to the fact that engineers make up a profession separate from science.

"Engineering," Dr. Killian reminded me, "is concerned with applying science to the use and convenience of man. The engineer's work usually has a social and economic objective. The work of the scientist may be directed primarily at increasing our understanding of nature.

While scientists and engineers each have separate professional functions to perform, they are increasingly dependent, one upon the other. Modern science requires the great instruments such as radio telescopes and high-energy accelerators which the engineer comes to create, whereas the engineer is increasingly dependent upon the new ideas which flow out of the work of the scientist."

That statement explains better than a thousand words my interest in this group.

You are needed in the service of the nation.

Nuclear weapons testing: engineering-political problem Take the problem that now presses on us so urgently: nuclear weapons testing. Our country is now observing in the testing of nuclear weapons a oneyear moratorium which will expire this October. Is that moratorium to be modified to apply to future atmospheric tests —or will it be continued from year to year on a temporary basis?

This is in part a political problem— but it is also an engineering one. What we do in the future can depend in no small degree on the work the engineers can do for us—by way of developing, testing and evaluating nuclear testing devices.

I am not satisfied to use as our sole criterion the findings of an underground shot in an isolated area of Nevada. I believe that the nuclear detection devices which may be called upon to measure both surface and underground explosions should be evaluated not by one country but by some international

organization or under an agreement by the three nations which currently comprise the nuclear club.

Lacking the wise handling of this problem, we will probably see the nuclear club expanded in the next few years to include France, Red China, and a half-dozen other nations. Then the problem of control will be vastly magnified—and every problem of agreement gravely complicated. >"

For better public policy

Let me say this in conclusion: As you move out into your careers you are bound to have many contacts with our national government.

This is in sharp contrast to college students of my generation. I was only dimly conscious of the existence of a national government. Washington was worlds away from the Dakota prairies.

Our mayor was the biggest man I knew.

I was in a church school which raised most of its money by persuasion and prayer. Aid to education meant setting aside part of the proceeds of a wheat crop.

You have only to look at the budget of your own university or of any other university in the land to find that onethird to more than one-half of its expenditures are financed in one way or another by the Government. Many of the engineering and industrial corporations where you may seek and find employment have a substantial part of their operations financed through government contracts with the Department of Defense, the Atomic Energy Commission, and the new National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

I hope each of you will find your way to some useful form of teamwork—with government—in the interest of better public policy.

We can do little about some of our problems without awaiting Soviet cooperation, or without relying on friends and allies abroad. But the wise use of our talent is within our own control.

This is one thing each of us can do something about without depending on anyone else. Talent is a home-grown product that we can cultivate and use wisely, if we wish.

Today represents one task completed.

May it also—for the ultimate welfare of our land—mean a new responsibility assumed,—the pursuit of knowledge, not only throughout your lives but throughout the lives of those who dwell beside you in a world that knows discord and dissension but looks hopefully—and-ever shall—to a final peace.

Ed Danforth brushes off his crystal ball and predicts the most equal race in years

A REAL COIN-TOSSING YEAR F

ASTEN YOUR SEAT 6 E L T S , M E N !

Any

of you football buffs thinking of flying into Southeastern football this fall should be braced for rough weather.

The radar screen looks like spilled clabber. The chances are Your Team will have its ears torn loose several times before they begin talking about bowl games.

Due to circumstances beyond control, no coach can expect his bird dogs to bring in all the good ones in the region. For several years, this has been setting worse from his standpoint and by now every campus in the Southeastern conference harbors several coveys of well feathered birds who can go places in a hurry. The supply of good players exceeds the capacity of the war chests to clothe, feed, educate and train them.

Even the so-called little schools have so many good ones they can knock off the fat cats every so often.

That's why it safely can be said that the Southeastern will be faster than ever this fall with every team in the league looking as good or better than last year.

Even Andy Pilney's hustling Tulane team, picked to finish last, has lost only eight men from the team that beat Navy, Texas Tech and Alabama and narrowly missed dumping Texas. Mississippi State (3-6-0) almost got LSU, the champs, last year 6-7. Georgia (4-6-0) was close to winning four of the ones they lost.

Tennessee (4-6-0) lost two close ones.

From the improved squads at those three points could come the surprise challenger as it did last year from Baton Rouge.

Just a backward glance to see what can and sometimes does happen: a year ago LSU had put three disappointing seasons in a string and Paul Dietzel's coaching job was considered -8p for grabs. His team was picked to finish NINTH by the great minds of the trade.

The Tigers came out with a shoot-theworks three-team system designed to beat the free substitution rap and got away with it. Alabama, Florida and Mississippi State nearly got 'em but they slipped through undefeated. Both rating lists made them No. 1 in the nation and Dietzel was crowned coach of the year.

Something like that might happen 16

again (but not to LSU is the prudent echo) and it could be any one of several squads of bright eyed American boys . . . maybe yours . . . who knows?

Posting a few safe forecasts on the board before the game gets dangerous: our neighbors have gone bug-eyed over football as never before. Every athletic office reports heavy ticket sales. Georgia Tech sold a record 25,000 season tickets before July 4. Louisiana State never had peddled over 6,000 (because their stadium is so big the trade could wait to see how the weather might be before buying) but by mid-summer they had sold 26,000 for cash. Georgia, Kentucky, and Tennessee with stronger home schedules and stouter prospects for winning are having trouble filling alumni orders.

Auburn and Alabama have big games away from home as usual and have sold heavier than ever.

Another safe bet is that the new rule, which allows "wild card" substitutions, will give specialists a chance to save the game with a big punt or field goal without doing any great harm to the battle plan.

SEC sports publicity directors followed the tenets of the lodge and picked the No. 1 team of the year before to repeat. They came out with the finish in this order: LSU, Auburn, Ole Miss, Georgia Tech, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State and Tulane.

Off hand, I'd say it is unlikely LSU will parlay their three-team system to another undefeated finish even though the Tigers do not play a robust conference schedule. I'd give Auburn and Ole Miss a better chance to pick up all the marbles. Auburn has had a great defensive machine for the past three years and their offense should be improved considerably with a passing attack that developed late in 1958. They have a most formidable array of first class athletes and the schedule is nothing to frighten them. Ole Miss has the horses, too, and their assignment is not rated insuperable. Auburn to win, Ole Miss to place and LSU to show might be the best guess.

From the others, the sleeper could

uvwww

come cantering home as LSU did last year. It could be Kentucky, but for the murderous schedule of Tech, Mississippi, Auburn, LSU and Georgia in the first six weeks.

It could be Tech, if you are willing to gamble that 10 Sophomores can do a man's job in a rugged assignment. The 1959 schedule is the same save that Florida State has been replaced by Notre Dame.

It will take a run of old fashioned Dodd luck for the Engineers to make a notable improvement on their record of last year. They have a tougher schedule and the league is going to be rougher.

The Southeastern has furnished the No. 1 team in the nation for two years running. This time around every outfit seems to be improved.

This is a year when men are needed to do the job and the Engineers will have to send quite a few boys up on the firing step. At this point it looks as if ten of the first 22 will be Sophomores.

That was the picture as practice started.

The veterans who fashioned a 4-4-2 card in 1957 and 5-4-1 in 1958 have been challenged all along the front by youngsters who came along in the fine Freshman crew of 1958. It looks like a team that might make lots of mistakes early in the season. If the Sophomores come along and mature fast, it could be a fine team in November. If they can survive improved teams from Kentucky, SMU, Clemson, Tennessee and Auburn without Tech Alumnus

falling too far behind the parade, they could be a first rate contender the rest of the way.

Here's a fast take on the team: the ends will be adequate with Gerald Burch, an exceptional punter definitely of AllAmerica caliber. The tackles and guards were not sensational last year but improvement can be sought from Ed Nutting, Russ Foret, Tom Roberts, Dale Williams, Bob Lincoln and John Murphree, all Sophomore tackles of heft and willingness—and from new guards: Mike Nicholl, Harold Erickson, Mike Biddle, Jack Moss and Bob Donyns.

Captain Maxie Baughn seems to have good help from Sophomores Willie McGaughey. and Raymond Holtt.

The backfield situation is improved.

At quarterback Braselton and Howard looked better in the spring and are ready to play a mature game. Stan Gann, sensational as a high school player and an outstanding Freshman, should be ready to carry his share of the load. Tibbetts and Veazey are defensive specialists who will help.

Photograph—Wallace HOWARD ECTOR, '40, left, since 1953 Athletic

Association business manager and treasurer, resigned as of September 1 to join the staff of the Trust Company of Georgia as trust officer. Replacing Ector is Bob Eskew, '48, Alumni Association associate secretary for the past three years. Eskew, shown here getting checked out on the ticket assignment charts, has both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Industrial Engineering.

At halfback the men are talented and numerous. Alternate Captain Floyd Faucette is one of the best both on offense and defense. Nix, James, Logan, Singleton and Wells (the place kick specialist) are veterans who should be improved.

Sparks should come from Sophomores Billy Williamson, Johnny Tomlinson, Chick Graning, and Kenny Thompson.

Still, our side has no one with the varied talents of Joe Delany. One may bob up from the grass roots.

Fullback is well supplied with Simerville and Fonts on the job again and real

operators coming up in Taz Anderson, who was out last year; and Sophomores Lee Reid, and Larry Lafkovitz. Ben Smith broke into the Varsity picture again after a fine spring.

This edition should be able to move the ball on foot and may deliver a brisker passing attack. The coaches have been working on considerable new offense from the winged-T with spread stuff to give fast backs running room.

Given a few breaks they could finish in the first division in spite of one of the mos£-demanding schedules given a Tech team in years.

It could be Tennessee with more depth at tailback and a more formidable line unless unprecedented road blocks early in the season shake them up too much.

Georgia may have had the third best team in the league last year . . . rating LSU and Auburn on top . . . and a better run of breaks in early games could qualify them as spoilers.

Florida, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt lost heavily in seasoned help, but the replacements could catch fire as has happened so often in our country. Alabama will have a stronger crew, but the element of surprise is lost and the Tuscaloosa entry will have a time improving on last year's fine tally.

It seems, then, that Auburn, Ole Miss and LSU rate first call with authentic challenges from Kentucky, Tech, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida. Let him who can afford it mark off Vanderbilt, Alabama, Mississippi State and Tulane.

I'd take the field against the first three, at a price.

IKE THE AMERICAN TAX SYSTEM, a new fee-collecting ^ system developed at Georgia Tech places the burden of responsibility right on the back of the payer. Now fully battle-tested after eight consecutive quarters of operation, the system has received the unanimous stamp of approval from both the student body and the Institute's business staff.

From the standpoint of Georgia Tech's 5,000 plus students, the new system is a distinct success simply because it eliminates completely all traces of the long, slow-moving fee line once associated with registration. From the point of view of the business staff, the system has indicated no weaknesses while exhibiting a number of advantages over the old system including (1) drastically cutting the cost of collecting the fees, (2) enabling complete collection of all regular fees in a two-day period, (3) eliminating the constant pressure that personal contact places on a teller, and (4) making on-the-spot auditing a reality during registration periods.

Like any innovation, this one has its something old and something new. Old for Tech anyway are the elimination of payments for anything except fees and room rent during the two-day registration period; separate handling of fulltime (12 hours or more) and part-time (less than 12 hours) students; and the use of IBM cards for record and receipt purposes. All of these concepts were installed under a feecollecting system adopted in the early fifties—a system that corrected most of the defects of previous systems with the exception of the elimination of the hated fee lines. The something new added (and the secret of the success of the new system) was the combining of all of these processes and concepts with the elimination of any personal contact between the students and the tellers.

To illustrate how this system operates, let's follow a typical student through Tech's fee-paying maze. The student's name is Grey Hodges and he's from Dothan, Alabama. Grey is carrying 18 credit hours (this makes him a regular student) and has already completed his registration procedures for the quarter with the exception of actually paying his fees. As we pick him up, Grey is getting his three prepunched fee cards. His next step is to pick up his fee envelope and sheet of instructions. He reads the instructions quickly to refresh his mind on the exact procedure Tech Alumnus

A new fee-paying system developed at Tech eliminates a traditional 1 ; during registration and cuts down on the cost of collecting fees and then fills out the front of the fee envelope with his name and box number.

As a non-resident and a regular student, Grey checks the information in the fourth column of his fee card and makes out his check (or money order, the instructions strongly advise against cash) for the exact amount shown as the total of the fourth column on the fee card ($207). He then places his check and the three cards in the fee envelope, seals it, and drops it in one of the boxes provided for this purpose.

If Grey's figures are correct, he will receive his envelope containing the receipt in his student post office box within two days. If they are wrong in favor of the school, he will have made a contribution to the Student Building Fund and will receive an additional receipt notifying him of the fact. (Tech has had very few cases of this type and most of them are only a few cents over the correct amount. Of course, being what they are, Tech students quite often make out their fee checks for say $207.02 just to make the school authorities write that extra two-cent receipt.)

If Grey's figures are incorrect in his favor, he will be called into the controller's office and notified of his error (last quarter with a registration of over 5,000, Tech had only 50 irregulars, as students who make an error in fee payments are called). If, for any reason, the student is called to the controller's office he is treated as a late fee payer. The instruction sheet is very specific about this matter and lists the following discrepancies as reasons for classification as a late fee payer: (1) failure to enclose required IBM cards or other required data (2) underpayment of fees or rent; (3) check improperly completed; (4) failure to endorse checks made payable to the student; (5) payment by mail, including campus mail; and (6) any other discrepancy which requires the student to come to the controller's office. A great deal of this information is repeated in red ink on the front of the student's fee envelope.

A special group of trained student aids and regular employees called the "Traveler's Aid" stands by at all times during registration time to answer any questions from the students on Tech's fee-collecting system.

If Grey had lived in a dormitory rather than a fraternity house, he would have had to pick up another pair of IBM September, 1959

cards and added the room rent to the cost of the fees before making out his check. If he had been a part-time student (less than 12 hours), he would have placed an approved copy of his schedule in the envelope with his cards and proceeded to a special room in the cashier's building to get a preaudit on the amount of his fees. Here he would make out his check and drop it with his cards in a special box located in the preaudit room.

If he had been a scholarship or contract student (Athletic Association, Army, Navy, Vocational Rehabilitation, etc.) he would have only had to indicate the source of his scholarship or contract on the fee and dormitory cards and then put the cards in the envelope, seal it, and drop it in the nearest box.

During the registration period, the boxes containing the envelopes are opened periodically and taken to the cashier's office where the tellers are working at desks. Each teller is given envelopes in groups of 50 by the cashier. The tellers open the envelopes, check the amount owed against the amount paid, and if correct, stamp the receipt or receipts. After the teller has completed the fifty envelopes, the money is turned in to the cashier and the cards to the auditor. The teller is credited with the amount of the turnin by the cashier. Immediately, representatives of a private accounting firm go over the tellers' cards and balance, and thus any error is discovered right at the time of turn-in.

Under this system it is impossible for the tellers to have overages or shortages in their accounts at day's end.

Under Tech's old system, eight or nine extra tellers had to be hired during registration time. Now only three are needed. On top of this saving, the office is not torn up by lines of students and makeshift tellers' cages.

Special payment items such as chemistry breakage deposits, ROTC uniforms, etc., are handled individually later in the quarter when the registration rush is over.

Developed by Tech Controller Jamie Anthony and his staff, this system at first glance may seem a bit cold or even brutal toward the students. But, after all Tech is in the business of educating young men and women to face a very competitive world. What better training can they receive than to have the responsibility for their own financial transactions thrust squarely in their laps?
