A THE ABILITY of the American businessman to come up with a new wrinkle to sell his products year after year has always been a source of fascination to us.

In our short stay on this planet, we have witnessed what we thought was every sales method known to man from the hard-hitting spiels of the pitchman to the soft glances of a beautiful woman.

With a decade of television and almost the same span of publishing under our belt we had just about become convinced that the saturation point had been reached as far as new selling "gimmicks" were concerned. But, as usual, we were wrong.

This summer we witnessed something new in this important area of American business—at least, in its execution and sparkle, it was new.

This phenomenon is called the Milliken Breakfast Show, and it is sponsored

by Deering Milliken, Inc. with the help of several garment manufacturers who specialize in popular priced women's wear. The show—a Broadway-type musical complete with pretty chorus girls and professional actors from top Broadway shows—begins promptly at 8:10 A.M., which immediately marks it as unique. The girls—looking as beguiling at this hour as they do at 8:40 P.M., an exceptional feat in itself—wear the coming fall fashions to sell Milliken's many fabrics.

The audience—mostly buyers from all over the world in town for the annual buyers month (May 15-June 15)—obviously enjoyed the professionally slick 50-minute show put on in the ballroom of New York's Astor Hotel. In sixteen performances (scattered over four weeks) over 18,800 people had breakfast on Milliken, saw the show, and were out of the ballroom in less than two hours.

wrote an entertaining show (full of references to Milliken's products) that compares very favorably to many Broadway musicals of recent vintage. Dean George Griffin, Fred Ajax and Neal DeRosa, who attended the show the same day we did, thought it was the best show they saw during their New York stay this summer.

We would not go that far, but we did come away from the Astor with a new respect for the Milliken people and their ways of selling.

A THIS EFFORT, the eighth annual show put on by the company, is just one of many now being put on by American business. Almost every day of the year, actors and actresses are putting on these shows for companies ranging from the top automobile companies (they were among the first to use this device) to national magazines. This form of selling now amounts to a business estimated in the millions of dollars in this country, a fact that is extremely pleasing to the entertainment industry.

Milliken's vice president for advertising, C. M. Burchard, told us that the first of these shows was a small effort with a two-man cast. This year's cast numbered 29 plus an orchestra. The scenery Was well done and broke even with the average show running in New York. The show is obviously expensive, but it is just as obviously paying off: Milliken is already talking about the 1962 Breakfast Show.

A AFTER THE BREAKFAST SHOW, t h e T e c h

contingent was invited to visit the new Milliken offices and showrooms. During the tour, we ran into several Tech men who work with Milliken (in sales and administrative areas alone, Milliken now A THE SHOW as a selling vehicle is hard employs 62 Tech alumni ranging from to pin down.

RECORD ATTENDANCE. Nearly 19,000 share owners attended the 1961 annual meeting of A. T. & T. This was the largest attendance ever recorded by any business. There was full and free discussion of many matters—evidence of democracy at work.

Now... 2,000,000

Bell Telephone Share Owners

A NEW MILESTONE IN DEMOCRACY AND AMERICAN BUSINESS The ownership of the country's largest business by over two million people is a dramatic testimonial to the American economic system. Here, for all the world to see, is democracy at work.

The result is a communications service of increasing value to both the public and business and a vital element in national defense.

The owners of American Telephone and Telegraph Company stock are people in all walks of life, in every section of the country.

A great many are small share owners. About 290,000 own fewer than ten shares. 42% are women. An additional 31 % are joint accounts, generally in the names of husband and wife. More than 300,000 are telephone employees.

In addition to the direct owners, many millions of other people have an important, beneficial interest through the holdings of their insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, unions, savings banks, etc.

Without the money that A. T. & T.

share owners have put in the business, you could not possibly have the telephone service you enjoy today. Nor would there be work and wages for over 730,000 employees.

This year alone share owners have furnished $961,000,000 in new capital by subscribing to A. T. & T. stock.

Given the opportunity to plan boldly for the future—and with earnings on a level that makes such progress possible—you can be sure that we will make further contributions to the growth and security of the nation.

Alumni Counselor program, now in G its second year of operation, is helping provide interested high school students with information about EORGIA TECH'S

the Institute and its graduates. Two hundred and eightysix outstanding alumni, located in forty-six states and the Canal Zone, talked last year with over fifteen hundred high school seniors who have applied for admission to Georgia Tech for this fall.

These alumni super salesmen have been able to help answer questions about our Tech through their own knowledge gained as a student here, as well as from current information supplied to them by the office of the Registrar. In addition to individual interviews, the Alumni Counselors visited over 20 high schoo's in eight states on College Days to talk with groups of students interested in engineering, science, architecture, or management careers. The Registrar's Office has furnished materials for distribution and prepared talks for these meetings.

Future plans for the Alumni Counselor program include addition of counselors in heavy population areas, as well as encouragement of more visits to high schools on College Day programs. The Registrar's Office is also seeking alumni who work overseas to act as counselors for international students. If you are interested in doing a worthwhile job of selling Georgia Tech through the Alumni Counselor program (particularly if you work overseas), please write to W. M. Eastman, Associate Director of Admissions, Georgia Tech, Atlanta 13.

CHESS ON 3RD STREET An offensive coach becomes head of the Tech defense and a defensive expert moves to the offense as Dodd makes his biggest changes

As STUDIED as a chess master in an international match, Robert Lee Dodd made his staff x V moves this spring when Assistant Coach Marvin Bass departed to South Carolina leaving the top defensive job open for the second time in two years. The scuttlebutt in the Atlanta area was that the Tall Gray Fox was trying to sign a top defensive man from another Southeastern Conference school. For a change, the initial rumors were right. Dodd tried and failed, but he only tried once and then with little hope of succeeding.

Just as the rumor machine began to run out of speculative gas, Dodd came up with an announcement so unexpected that it was, at first, regarded by many as an early April Fool joke.

But Dodd's fierce defense of his realignment soon convinced the skeptics that he was serious about this plan.

In his discussion with the members of the press, Dodd explained the changes this way: "I have decided to name my offensive backfield coach, Charlie Tate, the new coach in charge of defense. Tech's new offensive backfield coach will be our defensive backfield coach of the past ten years, Lewis Woodruff. The coach working with the interior line on defense this year SEPTEMBER, 1961

The new defensive coaches, shouters all, are left to right Charlie Tate, Richard Inman and James Carlen.

CHESS ON 3 R D STREETâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;continued will be Dick Inman who worked with the linebackers last year. We are also moving up Jim Carlen as defensive end coach to replace Tonto Coleman who has retired from active coaching to devote his time to his administrative duties as assistant athletic director. Tonto will also be a special advisor to me on football. The only new man we have hired is Art Davis, our new freshman coach. Davis, an all American back at Mississippi State, comes to Tech from LSU where he was B team coach. We think he'll fit in well with our present staff."

Dodd's characteristic use of the gamble when it is least expected has cropped up again. It was no easy decision to make (Dodd claims he did a great deal of thinking and debating before he hit upon this solution). Right or wrong, Dodd will be living with it pretty strongly in the season ahead.

After all of these changes, Tech's 1961 varsity coaching staff lines up like this: the defensive coaches are Tate, Inman and Carlen; the offensive coaches are Jack Griffin (head of the offense), John Robert Bell, and Woodruff.

Four of the six are Tech alumni who played under Dodd.

This is the highest percentage of Tech men on the varsity staff in the Dodd era. In a word profile the new staff would look something like this: Jack Griffin is an Atlanta native who lettered in football, basketball and track at the late lamented Boys High School.

He came to Tech in 1946 and was a top end on the teams of the late forties. After a four-year stint as head coach at North Fulton High in Atlanta (his record was 26-12-2 there) he joined the Tech staff as an end coach. When Frank Broyles left for Missouri in 1956, Griffin took over as head of the Tech offense. The quietest man on the staff

and seemingly the least emotional one, Griffin has picked up a great deal of the administrative work formerly handled

by Ray Graves. He watches the athletes' grades and works with the tutors to keep the weak ones (scholastically) up on their work. He helped start the compulsory athletes' study hall system and has managed with the aid of Dr. D. M. Smith and the tutors to keep the losses of athletes to scholastic failures at a minimum.

John Robert Bell is another Georgia Tech product. He came to the campus in 1940 as a student after lettering in football, basketball, track, and boxing at Dobyns-Bennett High School in Kingsport, Tennessee. He left Tech for a three-year stint in the Navy, then after a short stay at UCLA, returned to the campus and received his degree in 1948. After five years of high school coaching, he returned to the campus in 1954 as freshman coach. His record was 9-3-0 in this job, and his reputation earned him a shot at athletic director and head coach at Southwestern Louisiana Institute. After a year there (a year he seldom mentions) he came back to Tech for another year as freshman coach and was promoted to the varsity staff last year. Another relatively taciturn member of the staff, he reflects all of the qualities of the strong, craggy hills of Tennessee, his home country. An amazingly erudite man, Bell can even recite Elizabethan verse if you can get him started. He is a favorite with the team members and is staff advisor to the T Club, Tech's letterman organization.

Lewis Woodruff is a Georgia product. He came to the University in 1938 directly from old Griffin Spalding High School where he was a letterman in football, basketball, and track. At Georgia he lettered in football and track and received his degree in 1942. As head coach at Decatur High he compiled a 19-1-0 record in two years and earned a job at Tech as a B team coach and scout. He took over the freshman team for two years and then moved to his post as defensive backfield coach. One of the two key men in Dodd's chess game, Woodruff had become quiet and seemingly disinterested at times in his old job. In spring practice as offensive backfield coach, Woodruff was a man reborn. He was driving the backs and shouting again like the Woodruff of six years ago. His renewed interest in his own career has already made Dodd's decision look like a good one.

The other key man in the changeover is Charlie Tate, TICH ALUMNUS

a brilliant tactical coach with a great high school record (in five years of head coaching at Miami High his teams won four state championships and compiled a 43-6-1 record).

His freshman record at Florida, his Alma Mater, was 3-00 and in two years as freshman coach at Tech his teams went 5-2-0. He was named offensive backfield coach two years ago. A fierce and relentless competitor, Tate hates to lose at anything. After a loss, he is the most unreachable of all of the Tech coaches. He throws himself into coaching with an abandon that almost defies the limits of his own physical capabilities. By the second day of any practice session, he is without a voice. Every year you can spot Tate at practice by watching the student manager who is following him around with his throat pills. The players have as much respect for this man as any on the staff despite his driving coaching. When it was rumored that Tate would be the next coach at Florida a couple of years ago, several of the players started a campaign to keep Coach Tate at Tech.

He is imaginative and even brilliant in his tactical concepts, and Tech's defense this year will be a different one than fans have seen in recent years. Dodd says he made him head defensive coach because a man with his offensive experience knows more about defense than most anybody you can find. Someday, this man will be a head coach at a major college.

Dick Inman, a high school teammate of Leon Hardeman at Lafayette, Georgia, received three letters at Tech in the early fifties and earned the distinction of playing behind three all American centers while in college. Another tough loser, Inman is a fierce competitor in anything he does.

After he received his degree at Tech in 1954, Inman went into the service where he picked up some assistant and head coach experience. He returned to Tech in 1956 as a B team assistant and scout and was promoted to the varsity staff two years ago. Last spring he was offered two top assistant jobs at major colleges and turned them down when Dodd came up with his new coaching organization.

Inman is another famous shouter at practice and usually runs out of voice within a day of Tate. In fact the two men,

The 1961 offensive coaches, are left to right, Jack Griffin, John Robert Bell, and Lew Woodruff.

SEPTEMBER, 1961

along with Jim Carlen (the other defensive coach) are amazingly similar in their approach to competition and to coaching. Inman and Carlen shared bachelor quarters until this July when within one week of each other the two decided to give up the bachelor's life. Inman's wife, a petite blonde, is almost as competitive as her husband (though not as vocal about it), and a bridge evening with them is reminiscent of an Auburn-Tech game.

Jim Carlen is another Tech athlete turned coach. He came from Cookeville, Tennessee where he lettered in football and basketball. At Tech, his career was mainly one of spot punter although he played enough to letter three years. During his years as a player he absorbed a great deal of football knowledge and in the service he, like Inman, became a head coach. When he returned from the service, he came to work for Dodd as assistant freshman coach. A year later, he was named B team coach and scout and this year he was promoted to assistant varsity coach.

An amazing judge of talent and desire, Carlen can get the maximum out of his players. His freshman team last year was short on numbers but had enough talent for Carlen to mold them into a 2-0-1 team. He is another driver on the practice field and along with Tate and Inman should develop a strong defensive team this year. At least, there will not be much loafing during defensive practice this year at Tech. If you play for these three, you better be prepared to give that 100%. They will buy nothing less.

The first year's test of the realigned coaching staff will be a rough one. The ends are inexperienced, the tackles short on depth and the centers injury prone. But, the horses are here this year and, if it weren't for that brutal schedule, Dodd would be picking this team to go 8-2 on the season.

As it is, the man will consider his experiment a highly successful one with a record to match last year's 5-5. But, if the morale and determination of a coaching staff has anything to do with winning or losing, this year's team has a lot going for it. We have never seen a staff that works as well together as this one. From the standpoint of harmony, Dodd's moves have all been the right ones.

forces were supposed to be regrouping last year after landing four in the AP top ten in 1959, yet Ole Miss went all the way for No. 2 and Alabama got in ninth with a card of 8-1-1.

This is the "Next Year" the others were waiting for. The brethren have hopes from top to bottom. Each one expects to bump off tormentors who have been taking liberties in the past. The campaign promises to fit handsomely into the Civil War Centennial celebration as far as casualties are concerned. Intersectional games are few and far between, for the schedule makers figured they could find all the trouble they wantedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and moreâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;within an easy bus ride.

The annual poll conducted by the Birmingham News returned Louisiana State a nose in front of Ole Miss as the top outfit, but if one will listen to the Voice of Experience, one had better be prepared to see Alabama run off and hide

from the others. Coach Bear Bryant, who also makes the schedules, is seldom exposing his well heeled team to the rigors of tough competition. The only games in which his talented crew figures to have their hair mussed are Georgia, Tennessee, Georgia Tech and Auburn. Right now the Tide is given a better than even break in the others especially Houston and Richmond. He does not have to worry about people like LSU, Mississippi, Florida and Kentucky. His folks now and then mention the Rose Bowl nostalgicly.

Chasing Alabama in the final standings will be Ole Miss, Auburn, LSU, Tennessee, Florida.

The poll ranked Tech seventh in deference to their schedule. Not a soft spot appears, and if the Engineers can make it 6-4-0 they will have beaten the rap.

They play four bowl teams plus Auburn and LSU all of whom were looking for big teams in 1961. The best team the Flats ever produced in modern times

(1952) would have a tough time handling that one.

The poll goes on with Kentucky, Georgia, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt and Tulane. They could be overlooking a real sleeper in Georgia under Johnny Griffith, who replaces Wallace Butts on the firing line while the Round Man functions as athletic director.

Alabama weathered the 1960 storm on a rugged defense and made a few points go for eight games with one tie and only one defeat. Bryant has concentrated on building an offense around Pat Trammell, a quarterback who gets the job done. No one will score often on these case hardened veterans and well drilled replacements. They may lose one but it is tough at this distance to pick the spot.

Mississippi lost 18 letter men besides Jake Gibbs, but Vaught seems to come up with more good players year after year than anybody but Jordan of AuTECH ALUMNUS

burn. Doug Elmore and Perry Lee Dunn are quarterbacks to follow Gibbs. The Rebels have several breakaway runners and a fast stout line. They figure as good or better than anybody they play.

Auburn has husky linemen with Billy Wilson outstanding, and a better than average end in Dave Edwards. Jimmy Burson and George Rose are two talented breakaway runners. The key man may be Mailon Kent who looked like a fine passer in the spring. If he can hit, the Tigers could wind up in a bowl.

Louisiana State had the sturdiest defensive team in the league last year but had trouble moving the ball. They were looking to this season and here they are with a talented quarterback in Lynn Amedee. Only eight letter men will be missing from the team that was so tough last round. The Bayou Tigers could pick up the marbles and argue the case with Alabama to enliven the winter.

Tennessee has top backfield talent in Glenn Glass, J. W. Carter and Wayne Coleman to operate the single wing attack behind the usual trim fast line. They play Auburn and Alabama early, Tech and Mississippi late and could be the spoilers on several schedules. They were expecting this one to be a big year.

Florida came in ahead of time to make Ray Graves' debut a stunning success.

The Gators still have their stable of potent backs in charge of Larry Libertore and Bobby Dodd, Jr. ready to gallop but losses in the line may make the route to another bowl rough.

Most of the lodge brothers have one or two . . . even three . . . soft spots that can be presumed to be in the bag, but the Engineers do not have a single minor

league excursion that would give them good clean fun for an afternoon. Starting in Los Angeles with Southern Cal, the program for Tech is a grim succession of Rice, LSU, Duke, Auburn, Tulane, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia.

To meet that challenge is a squad that equals the 1960 bunch in talent and may be deeper at critical spots. Bobby Dodd says: "It will be the same type team that kept everybody on edge last fall. I look for most of the games to be decided by an extra point or a field goal. With two good quarterbacks in Stan Gann and Billy Lothridge and two fine halfbacks in Billy Williamson and Chick Graning, I look for our attack to score oftener.

With our schedule we will need good breaks to improve on our 5-5 record last year."

Kentucky has been beaten down in recent years by a murderous schedule, but has managed to finish strong. This trip they will have full use of their sensational passer, Jerry Woolum and two fine ends in Tom Hutchinson and Dave Gash. The schedule is a shade easier this trip and the Big Blue could finish higher than selected.

Georgia lost real stars in Tarkenton, Brown, Walden and Dye, but have come up with a tough line, two solid fullbacks —Bill Godfrey and Wayne Taylor—and a great kicker, Durward Pennington.

Johnny Griffith had a fine spring practice and many sideliners rated the squad far above average in talent. After opening with Alabama, the Bulldogs seem to have a smooth road until they collide with Florida, Auburn and Tech in November.

Mississippi State has played some good games under Wade Walker, but luck has been conspicuously absent. The Maroons still seem to be short of man power.

Spring practice gave the Starkville faithful some hope for improvement. The schedule is heavy in November but the early rounds might see them develop confidence with a few victories.

Vanderbilt has been overmatched with their schedule in several seasons past.

This time they have another back breaker that only a real big team could handle* Spring practice showed the Commodores were good in the line but woefully short in backfield people. It is hard to see Art Guepe's men finishing anywhere but far down the list. At least four of their opponents — Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and Tennessee—are championship contenders.

Down in New Orleans, Andy Pilney thinks his bench is improved and he need not run out of able bodied hands when he meets the big ones. The Greenies carried Alabama to the bitter end before yielding a tie last year and they always have played Tech too close for comfort. Tulane fielded a fine Freshman team and the reserves will come from that eager crew. The Greenies play all the big ones and could upset their betters once or twice.

Football fever broke out early in the section. Ticket sales are heavier than ever at most spots. Georgia Tech as their big schedule suggests is sold out for the season. October 21 is a big day at Grant Field when the Yellow Jackets play Auburn in the afternoon and Georgia tangles with Mississippi State in the evening.

THE LONG SEARCH The head of Tech's interlibrary

loan

section discusses how and where to find translations of foreign technical data Photographs by Harley Ferguson

VEN IF a man had time to read the best of the world's literature in his fields, he would be stymied because less than half of it is in English, more than one-fourth in French or German, and more than one-third in Russian, Japanese, or Chinese. Most American scientists are ill-prepared to read even the German or French.

To meet the need for foreign material, a shotgun approach to translation has been used in recent years. Free lance translators, commercial translating firms, industrial and government translating sections, publishers subsidized by government or professional societies issuing cover-tocover translations of journals, and machine translation research have evolved from this approach.

E

Making a Translation Search

The most efficient way to search for a translation today is as follows: 1. Search published lists of existing translations in the Library.

2. Write, telegraph, or telephone to translation centers, to find out whether or not the translation is very recently-received or is still in process. Georgia Tech's Price Gilbert Memorial Library also supplies this service.

3. Secure the services of a translator, if the above search is fruitless, using the facilities of an organization such as the Technical Information Section, Engineering Experiment Station.

At Georgia Tech, the first two steps are usually handled by the Library. As one of seven depositories for printed copies of technical translations issued by the Office of Technical Services, U. S. Department of Commerce, the Library has received more than 6,000 translations during the past two years. In addition, it subscribes to more than forty 10

cover-to-cover translations of foreign journals and receives hundreds of translations annually from other sources, such as the Atomic Energy Commission and foreign universities and governments. The Library may draw also upon the holdings of other libraries and research organizations if necessary.

Translation Centers in the U. S.

An international network of translation centers is developing in the United States and Europe at present. In America, translations from all sources are channelled into the following two centers, which exchange all items with one another and cooperate in abstracting, indexing, and distributing them to the public: (1) the Special Libraries Association Translations Center, housed in the John Crerar Library, Chicago, Illinois, which collects translations from nongovernmental sources, domestic and foreign, and (2) the Office of Technical Services, U. S. Department of Commerce, Washington, D. C, which collects them from government sources, domestic and foreign. They jointly compile and publish Technical Translations, a bi-weekly abstract journal which gives complete information about their translations.

Foreign Translation Program

In 1958, the U. S. Government embarked on a foreign translation program, and appropriated $1,200,000 for translation work in certain countries. To date, contracts under this program have been signed with Israel, Poland, and Yugoslavia, calling for the translation of over 50,000 pages of text from Russian and other East European languages.

The completed translations will be edited, printed, and sold in the United States through the Office of Technical Services, U. S. Department of Commerce.

As further impetus for rapid exchange of translations beTECH ALUMNUS

vrtJJ

THE LONG SEARCH-continued tween Europe and the United States, two international translation centers have been established in Europe within the past six months. The first, known as the European Translation Centre, was created in October, 1960, by the twelve member countries of the European Productivity Agency (EPA). Its purpose will be to notify industry and research of all existing Western European language translations from Russian and East European scientific and technical literature, and to make available those which cannot be obtained through commercial channels. The Centre will be housed at the Library of the Technical Institute of Delft, Netherlands. Its holdings will be listed in Technical Translations.

Not to be confused with the European Translation Centre is another new center, Transatom, established in Brussells, Belguim, in December, 1960, by a joint agreement of the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM), the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, and the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission. Transatom will be primarily concerned with creating and maintaining a master index file of translations of nuclear literature, from which it will publish a monthly Transatom Bulletin. Information will also be exchanged with the European Translation Centre, at Delft, Netherlands, to prevent duplication of activities.

Made-to-Order and Commercial

If an existing translation is not located, the scientist and translator work together informally, as a team. For this purpose, many companies and government agencies have a staff translator or a translating section attached to the research department. At Georgia Tech, a similar personalized translating service is provided by the Technical Information Section of the Engineering Experiment Station, which maintains a roster of translator talent available on or near the campus. The translator usually meets with the scientist and they go over the material together. Thus, it is possible to skip non-pertinent sections or even to eliminate whole articles which prove to contain no useful information. Another advantage of this method is that the scientist is able to ask questions if the translator makes a wrong choice of synonym for a key word. These "face-to-face" translations are much less expensive than custom-made written translations. The average cost is $2.25 per hour for the translator's time, plus any incidental expenses incurred in securing a copy of the original article, added to the cost of the requestor's own time. *â&#x20AC;˘*â&#x20AC;˘ When no campus translator can be found for a given job, the work is often assigned to a commercial translating firm.

There are no professional standards or licensing requirements for translators in the United States. Therefore, the prospective customer must exercise care to secure references and to investigate the skill of a translator before placing an order. Translators and Translations: Services and Sources, a directory of translators complied by this paper's author and published by the Special Libraries Association in 1959, 12

lists a few of the many firms and individuals available, without guaranteeing the claims made by those listed. The Association plans an enlarged edition for 1962.

Commercial translators offer two types of service: (1) made-to-order, or "custom-made" translations, which become the exclusive property of the purchaser, and (2) printed translations, which remain the property of the translator, copies being sold to as many purchasers as request them. The cost of made-to-order translations is relatively high, as the following rates of typical firms will show: Rates Charged for Custom-Made Translationsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Rates Per Thousand Words English language Translated

Firm A

Firm B

Firm C

Firm D

German Russian Japanese

$18 $19 $20

$15 $18 $20

$8 $8 $20

$15 $20 $35

The second type of translation, if available, is much less expensive. The costs of typical printed, i.e., mass circulation translations from commercial firms vary from about $1.50 to $4.50 per 1000 words of English. The price depends on the policies of the translator and the number of copies which will be sold.

Some firms are able to complete orders in five to seven days. Others, according to the rarity of the language and the length of the article, may take four to six weeks. In general, a firm which specializes in a given subject field or in a particular language can give faster service than one which handles many diverse subjects and a large number of languages.

Future Trends

The entire field of translation is in transition. We have progressed beyond the pioneer stage when, because of the few translations available, nearly every article had to be translated to order. However, we still have a long way to go before reaching an ideal solution. Experts differ, but all agree that we will continue to need both men and machines.

Translators of the future will be a select group.

For the present, we must make the most of available facilities. The National Science Foundation, which is investing over a million dollars per year to subsidize translations and translation research, is currently supporting a nationwide survey of translation activities in the fields of science and technology. The results of the survey, to be completed in mid-1961, should lead to more effective use of the translation program in the future.

Within the next few years the transition from human to machine translation will begin. Ultimately, machine translations will reduce the cost and time of translations so markedly that language barriers to information exchange may become almost negligible. Already, the military incentive, which gave the original impetus to large-scale translation programs, is being replaced by general scientific, industrial, sqcial, and even political applications.

No one knows for certain how many languages man uses in communication. The differences between accents, dialects, and languages are often difficult to specify. Yet, man must currently be using well over two thousand languages.

HE GEORGIA TECH NATIONAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION is the only alumni organization in the world that can boast of the wide variety of top alumni awards pictured on these pages. At the recent American Alumni Council general conference in Hollywood, Florida, Tech was the only institution to receive first-place awards in all three major competitions sponsored by this large international organization ol college alumni associations. In the magazine competition, I'he Gear gia Tech Alumnus picked up first place for "alumni news" and third place for both "institutional reporting" and "magazine layout and design." In the direct mail competition, Tech received the first-place award for the "best single letter in the dues and membership promotion" category. But, the big award that went to Tech belongs to its alumni. It is the handsome United States Steel Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;American Alumni Council trophy (above) which represents the best "sustained performance in alumni giving by a public institution." The award was accompanied by a $1,000 check to be used to help alumni relations with what has become the strongest, most loyal alumni group in its class.

Tfye- InstituteDean Griffin and staff move offices this month

IF YOU ARE PLANNING to drop by the campus this fall to visit with George Griffin you'll have to go by the "Old Infirmary."

It isn't that the "Good Dean" is ill or anything, it's just that the old building has been remodeled to furnish office space for the entire dean of students organization.

Dean Griffin, Associate Dean Jim Dull, and assistant deans George Budig and Eugene Nichols will all be located on the first floor of the building. The second floor will be occupied by the offices and testing rooms of Tech's guidance and counseling services headed by Dr. James Strickland.

This move marks the first time that the entire dean of students office has been under one roof since 1954.

GEORGIA TECH'S alumni golf team pulled the upset of the year in golfing circles by edging the heavily favored Georgia alumni in the annual Celebrity golf match at Atlanta's Peachtree course, July 28. The two teams matched this year in the competition started by Tech's George Griffin included: Four former Atlanta city champions, seven former Georgia State champions, four former Southern Amateur champions, one former Southeastern Amateur champion, one former North-South champion, five former Southern Intercollegiate winners, three Dogwood champions, one each British Amateur and Western Amateur kings, a National Intercollegiate champion, the 1959 champion of the Professional Baseball Players tournament, an all American football player, a pro football great of a few years back, and a former major league pitcher.

Tech won the match 12% to 11% squaring the series at three wins apiece.

Playing for the Jackets were Dr. John Ridley, Charles Harrison, Lefty Ewing, Paul Gurley, Pete Ferris, Bill Terrell, Dynamite Goodloe, Jack Nixon, Dan Yates, Charlie Yates, Jim Clay, Frank Ziegler, Jim Hearn, Ashby Taylor, Tommy Barnes, and Leon Hardeman.
