A WE TRUST that you will excuse us if we once more use this space for a column purely personal in nature. We had not planned to occupy this space this month in this fashion. But just as the two-color offset press was cranking up on its maiden run for the July Alumnus, the woman whom we had referred to in these pages of that issue as "the symbol of the dignity and determination of the human soul" died at the typewriter in a legal office in the City of New York. A man should write a requiem for his mother.

When Bill Diehl and Jane Wallace walked into the office that Monday morning (what is there about Monday that brings death to our family?) to break the news quickly and gently to us, typical emotional shock set in. The first thing we mentioned was, "Better stop HigginsMcArthur from running that cover section, we'll have to change that column."

Diehl's answer was, "Let it go, that's the way Hazel would have liked it." So a couple of months later here is that requiem for a woman who said when she reached the age of 65, "I shall never retire as long as I am able to do my legal work. There will be no fading away for Hazel Wallace."

A LOOKING BACK on our childhood, we don't remember our mother being any different than any other mother we knew of. She fed us and spoiled us some and fussed at us some and told us tales of the world and its dangers and of the joy of living and generally acted as mothers are expected to act by all children everywhere. And we loved her as all children are expected to love their mothers.

Through grade school and junior high and high school we noticed nothing amiss in her attitude as a mother, and like all growing boys we just took her for granted and paid her the attention we felt she deserved (which we realized later was not nearly enough).

It wasn't until our senior year in high school that we began to suspect that our mother was just a little bit different than the normal breed of mothers in that small Pennsylvania town in which we spent our early days. She began urging us to go a long way from home to college, acting suspiciously like a mother eagle preparing to bounce her eaglet out of the

nest. We brought up colleges like Gettysburg, Penn State, Westminster, Pittsburgh, Carnegie Tech, and her answer would always be the same, negative, "too close."

One day we suddenly came up with the name, Georgia Tech. It was the song or something. Or maybe it was the fact that Charlie Yates was making sports headlines with his humorous doings while winning the British Amateur that year and he was from Georgia Tech. A week later, she handed us a catalogue from that school almost 1,000 miles away. And from that moment on we were headed for Atlanta.

It wasn't long after we left home that we began to suspect that the change of scenery and culture was too much for us. At the end of the first year we arrived home, heels dragging and head hanging low, to tell our family that we had failed them by not doing well in school. "You have not failed us," she said, "you have failed yourself. From now on everything you do that's wrong or that's less than your best will reflect on you not on your father or me."

Back we went to have another go at it.

This time the story was the same, another failure. This time the reaction at home was the same. "Back you go till you either succeed or they tell you that you can never go back again."

Then the war came on, and we thought we were saved. Here was the ready-made excuse. We joined the fly-boys and did our tour and got a couple more types of culture under the old belt and returned home intent on going to the University of Missouri with Bill Diehl to become a writer. When we broke the news to the Wallaces the day after we returned from the wars, R. B. looked at Hazel, they shook their heads in unison (negative again) and then he spoke, "You don't quite understand this whole thing son.

You are going back to Tech. You have failed there and if you don't go back you will live with that failure the rest of your life."

When he joined in (actually he was part of the conspiracy all along, we just were not perceptive enough to realize it) we figured we might as well go along with the idea.

Just six months before the Tech diploma was in sight, our father died.

Hazel was alone but by then she was TECH ALUMNUS

working and it helped take her mind off things. When the goal was reached she wrote a short note and said, "You better start looking around for a goal or two of your own. You have your own family now, so these decisions are no longer mine." * * * A FIVE YEARS LATER, on a dare from her

daughter, Hazel Wallace decided to pick up and go to New York City to work and find a new life. The Pennsylvania town had too many memories and not enough challenges for her, and she decided to heed some of the advice she had been handing out to her children.

She never complained but we know that it wasn't easy for her at first. She had to live in a hotel for six months and work at a pace that she wasn't accustomed to. And, although she wouldn't admit it, legal work was getting tougher each year as she moved into the fifties.

After she moved, she made many friends in the city and began to enjoy the freedom that this type of living gave her. For the next six years, she seemed contented when we visited New York or when she came to Atlanta in the fall to see the Tech-Auburn game. (She never did recover from the fact that they shifted that game to Birmingham on alternate years, later. She considered it a personal affront.)

Last year she mentioned retirement for the first time and finally went so far as to quit her job because the office had moved to the other side of the city and she was tired of all that commuting to work. But, the retirement only lasted three days and at less than a year short of 65, Hazel Wallace got another job that paid better and was within walking distance of her apartment.

When we asked her what she told the man who hired her when they asked her age, she said, "I looked him in the eyes and told him I was 49 plus. I didn't want to lie about it."

She liked that last job and she was just a little proud when she found out that the lawyers referred to her as "the old war horse," although she would never admit that, either.

TECH ALUMNUS

THE SCENE below will never again be repeated at Tech. The freshmen are still coming to the campus each September.

And they are still wearing "rat" caps (although there have been some efforts made on the campus in recent years to do away with this tradition). But, the old book store which has been located in the basement of Knowles since the days of World War II has been moved to new quarters in the

recently-enclosed ground floor of the New Classroom Building. Designed by A. Thomas Bradbury, original architect on the Classroom Building, the new store has added to the appearance of the west side of that building. The space can easily be converted to space usable for other institutional purposes when the time comes for the bookstore to move into the still-not-in-sight student activities building.

SEPTEMBER, 1962

Four Southeastern Conference football teams spent the holidays in a bowl last year and it could happen again to the same teams.

Alabama landed in the Sugar Bowl with Arkansas after shyly accepting the nomination as No. 1 in the nation. Ole Miss carded 9-1-0 and landed in the Cotton Bowl with Texas. Louisiana State had 9-1-0 and hit the Orange Bowl with Colorado. Georgia Tech did 7-3-0 and made the Gator Bowl with Penn State. Reading the signs and omens and the way bark is growing on the trees, that same four could go bowling again but only after a hassle.

It will be tougher for Georgia Tech to repeat because the Engineers play two of the last year bowl teams. The Yellow Jackets play LSU and Alabama. Alabama plays only Tech of the big quartet. Ole Miss plays only LSU of the hot numbers. LSU, like Tech, collides with two big ones, Tech and Ole Miss. With Alabama playing the softest schedule of the lot (again) the Tide has a chance to repeat an all winning campaign. Mississippi has a good chance to kill another big one with only one hazard on the way. LSU and Tech will need smooth breaks to take the water jumps on the road. In fact the summer survey of the Birmingham News rated continued on page 8

"The schedule you play during a season is everything in college football today. Every Saturday but three this fall we'll go out on the field no better than an even bet to win the game. With this kind of odds, I figure we'll be lucky to match last year's record even though this may be the strongest team Tech has fielded since 1956." With these three sentences, Robert Lee Dodd, now dean of the Southeastern Conference football coaches, made his pitch to stem the optimism that seems to be surrounding Tech fans as the 1962 season gets underway.

This year's version of the Jackets will have, again in the words of Dodd, "as good a first unit as anybody on the schedule." But back of that 218-pound, experienced line, the weakness of inexperience begins to show. Scheduled for the second unit are three sophomores without a single minute of college game experience and three others with very limited varsity game time.

A preseason look at this line by positions reflects Dodd's optimism for the first unit and his pessimism concerning the depth of his squad.

The starting ends, both juniors with a great deal of playing time last year, are the biggest

DANFORTH'S S.E.C.—continued Tech's schedule third toughest in the league putting Mississippi State and Tulane on top in difficulty of schedule. It seems that everybody wants to play State and Tulane these days.

As long as the Southeastern avoids rotating schedules, the canny coach can pick his six or seven conference games carefully, drop in a few mild outsiders and finish close to the top every year. If you ask me, I'd say Alabama is likely to win the next two or three championships and make the Oklahoma regime look like a rank in and outer.

An interesting aspect to the 1962 campaign will be the appearance of several three-team operations, modeled after the successful Louisiana State deal which was established

by Paul Dietzel. LSU will use the same organization under Charlie McClendon and Florida, Kentucky and Georgia have planned to try it anyhow. If any of the newcomers can make the three team bit work still others might try it.

The trend is in a hard-nosed direction The biggest change in college football in general in the past ten years had been the development of what the coaches euphemistically call "hardnosed football." That is a polite term for vicious football. Alabama and Kentucky

WALLACE'S TECH-continued pair in Tech's history. Ted Davis at 224 should be an allSEC candidate this year and an all-American by 1963. He is a strong and alert defender and a good receiver (although he had little chance to prove it last season) who sports the best blocking percentage of any Tech man from last year.

The right end will be Billy Martin, a growing boy at 232, who led all ends in 1961 in pass receiving and played primarily on offense that year. In spring practice Martin developed suddenly into a surprisingly fierce defender and will go both ways in 1962. The number three end was to have been Frank Sexton who logged much playing time last year. However, a freak accident at ROTC camp tore up Sexton's knee, and the operation that followed will probably keep him out of action for the early part of the season.

Senior John Wright, another end who has been plagued with injuries, had a great spring^and may help fill the void back of the starters. The rest of the ends are mainly untested sophomores headed by an excellent prospect for future stardom with the solid Tech name of George Morris.

At tackle, the story is about the same — the starters are experienced and capable but the depth is not there. Alternate Captain Larry Stallings comes back at 221 as the starting right tackle. One of the fastest linemen on the squad, Stallings should have his greatest year in 1962. At the other side is another senior, Ed Griffin, the surprise

are exploiting the idea and the others must condition their squads for it or be run out of the league.

Alabama has returned 24 of the crew that breezed unbeaten last year. Only two opponents, Tulane and Tech were able to hold them close and Arkansas carried them to a close decision in the Sugar Bowl. The Tide was predominantly strong on defense and most of that rugged outfit is back with exception of their fine tackle Billy Neighbors and their celebrated Hnebacker Darwin Holt. To replace their talented quarterback Pat Trammel they have a new hand Joe Namath who is said to be adequate. Mike Fracchia, if his knee comes around, will give the offense authority. Again the schedule is not exacting. Only three opponents — Tennessee, Tech and Auburn — figure to give them any sort of contest and another sweep is probable.

As usual, Mississippi is loaded Mississippi does not meet Alabama and is ready to pick up the marbles if somebody should slip up on Alabama some rainy afternoon. The Rebs never have manpower problems and this trip they look better than usual with only 14 vacant lockers and a fine lot of new students to fill in.

Jim Dunaway at tackle is an ail-American prospect and Glynn Griffing is counted all-star stuff. The schedule is the

of the 1961 season. A two-year B-teamer, Griffin moved up fast when switched from guard in the spring practice of 1961. When Russ Foret was injured in the Duke game, he moved in as starter. At 218, he was Tech's best tackle by the end of last season. Everyone back of these starters has little or no experience. Bill Wilson at 218 has lettered one year but has been out of action most of his Tech career with injuries. Bill Paschal, Jr., a 229-pound sophomore is a good bet for future stardom, but he still hasn't seen action in the SEC. Bill Farrington and Mike Haycock are two juniors who will be pushing for the second unit jobs.

Both have very limited game experience.

Tech's guards are the best around The starting Tech guards are probably the best pair to play on any one team in the country in many a year. Dave Watson, a 221-pound senior has been selected on almost every pre-season all-American first team. He has started every game since he became an upperclassman and has more speed and determination than any Tech guard since Ray Beck. The left guard will be Rufus Guthrie who had a good year back of Watson on the other side in 1961.

Guthrie, along with Watson, has been picked as an all-SEC guard in most of the pre-season polls. Guthrie is a natural linebacker with great maneuverabiUty for a man weighing 231 pounds. Most promising of the rest of the guard crop is 212-pound converted fullback, Brad Yates. Others likely TECH ALUMNUS

same mild calibre as last year when the Rebs lost only to LSU. Folks don't go begging for games with John Vaught's people. They are always 1-2-3.

Louisiana State returns key personnel from the rugged squad that lost the opening game to Rice then drove on unbeaten to the finish and tied with Alabama for the championship. Paul Dietzel has gone to West Point but he leaves Charlie McClendon in charge of the three teams, Chinese Bandits and all with Jerry Stovall as the most versatile back in the region to head the attack. Rigors of a schedule far tougher than most of the bretheren may close the championship gate to the Tigers but they certainly will be in the top layer at the finish. LSU does not play Alabama, a distinction shared by the best ones, but they take on Tech and Mississippi and strong outsiders.

With a less rigorous schedule, the Yellow Jackets would be rated a favorite, but the erosion of a big game every Saturday may thin the front line troops by late November.

That happened last year and this trip the seasoned reserves among interior linemen are fewer than last year. Still, if the young folks can get through October without having to be thrown to the lions this one could be one of the really good teams as the last one certainly was. The Engineers have a stalwart crew of ends and centers and the best backfield material anybody remembers seeing on the Flats. continued on page 10

to see action include letterman John Matlock (a converted center), Doa"ne Thomas, Tom Shafer (another converted fullback), and sophomores Bubba Shell and Randy Watkins.

At this position, the drop-off in quality is really steep after the starters.

Dodd plans to platoon his centers this year with Bobby Caldwell handling most of the defense and Ed Chancey working on offense. Both Caldwell and Chancey are capable, experienced seniors, and they complement each other perfectly. Back of them is a 221-pound sophomore named Bill Curry who has all the moves to be a great center in the future. Others figuring in this position are sophomores Dave Simmons and Jimmy Seward.

When he starts talking about his backfield material, Dodd has a tough time being pessimistic. Back from last year are both of the quarterbacks who between them played all of the offensive time at this important slot. Stan Gann, the erratic senior, has had two years of varsity experience and may finally be ready for a great year. Gann, who looked great at times and horrid at others, has been working on his mistakes and weaknesses and is mentally ready to put together a string of good games. He is the man who moves the team best inside the opponents 20 and when he is right, he can be as good as anybody in the conference. Junior Billy Lothridge, the team's punter, and place-kicker, will be pushing for more playing time this year after a good sophcontinued on page 11 SEPTEMBER, 1962

TECH ALUMNUS

V .LACE'S TECH-continued omore year. Dodd says the starter each week will be determined by the way the two shape up during practice sessions and in previous games. The competition here will be terrific. Sophomore Bruce Fisher had a great spring and may figure in the picture this year although chances are that he will be held out. Dave Sewell, a big, strong sophomore, may also get a chance to play this position some although there is some talk of moving him to defense. Jerry Priestly and Eddie Jordan are other offensive quarterbacks who might figure in the picture.

The corner linebackers who play defense for the quarterbacks are experienced and capable. Don Toner, one of the best in the country last year, is back and will be the number one man at this position. Back of him will be Jon Martin, a good pass defender and a hard tackier with an unfortunate propensity for injury. Richard Hall, a promising sophomore, had an excellent spring at this position and will play some this fall.

Tech's halfbacks are the best since '56 Even with the loss of two superior backs like Billy Williamson and Chick Graning, Tech still boasts the best halfback crop since 1956. Leading light at left halfback will be Joe "the Tourist" Auer, who impressed everyone in the country during last year's Gator Bowl game. Auer had an excellent spring and in the words of Dodd, "he has the best potential of any back we have had around here in a long, long time." The right halfback will be Zollie Sircy, a senior who flashed signs of brilliance all during last season and who now should come into his own as a starter.

At this writing the number two left halfback is Doug Cooper, a junior who played some last year. Cooper, a good defender and pass receiver, is being pushed by transfer Tommy Jackson, a Miami Edison product, who sparkled in the spring game on both offense and defense despite the fact that he was injured during most of the spring practice.

Gerry Bussell, a sophomore speed merchant can't be counted out of this position, either. But, barring injuries, Auer will be the man who will be on the field more time than any back this year.

Right halfbacks now listed in back of Sircy include another future star, Jeff Davis, a 196-pound sophomore who was one of the most impressive backs in spring practice. Others that showed promise in the spring are Johnny Nix, best blocker among the sophomores; Johnny Gresham, a Jimmy Thompson-built speed merchant; Kenny Allen, son of the former Kentucky great; and Johnny Sinclair, the converted quarterback.

blocking and straight-ahead running abilities and because playing back of Auer might get boring. His desire and intelligence may make him the number two fullback by the time the season gets underway. The top fullback, of course, will be Mike McNames, who returns from a great season at this position last year. Ray Mendheim is another fine running fullback who lettered last season and will be fighting for the second-unit job this year. Back for a final season after an injury held him out of action last year is Larry Lafkowitz who flashed his old-time form as he led all runners in the spring practice sessions. Jimmy Barber and Howard Daughtry are sophomores with a chance of breaking through at this position this year.

Tech's coaching staff returns intact this year and the offensive and defensive patterns will be just up-to-date versions of last year's. The team will be strong defensively and should pack a better offensive wallop than last year. Look for more passing to the ends this year and a ground offense built around the great, change-of-pace artist, Joe Auer. The backs will do more running and if the passing game can be strengthened this team could be worth being optimistic about. A lot depends on Gann and Lothridge. But a great deal more depends on getting through that awesome schedule week after week without losses of personnel to injuries.

The determined Tech defense will again be depended upon by Dodd and his staff to take care of one of the tough opponents.

Winingder will be a double-duty man Tech Captain Tom Winingder, a defensive stalwart last year, is now listed at both halfback and fullback and will probably be groomed to play both positions this fall. Winingder is learning the fullback slot in order to utilize his SEPTEMBER, 1962

Everyone wants to sit in the West stands for Georgia Tech football games, a complex that further complicates ticket allocation.

by Frank Bigger

THE COMPUTER AND YOUR TICKETS Tech becomes the first school in the country to use its computer center to make the final allocation of its season football tickets interference control system got to do with you? If you are a football fan and like to spend your fall Saturday afternoons in Georgia Tech's Grant Field, the answer is plenty.

Such a radio control system brought a breakthrough to the automation of seat assignments in the stadium through the use of a gigantic electronic computer. This automation, now in its second year, has cut the seat assigning chore to less than three hours. It formerly took around three months of manual labor. Moreover, the computer does a much better job than a staff of mere humans and even its efforts have been improved this year.

But there is more to this story than simply taking a tedious task out of human hands. Behind the automation is a determination on the part of Georgia Tech's Athletic Association and Business Manager Bob Eskew to reward those who have been most loyal to the school; to recognize them and give credit where credit is due; in short, to give them the "best seats in the house." So, if you meet a short list of specifications, brother, you're on your way to the 50-yard line! The machine will see to it. The basic rules it follows were established a decade ago.

Although Tech is unique in the recognition of its alumni, most schools favor them in one way or another. However, Tech was the first, and is possibly the only school employing a high speed electronic computer in the allocation of stadium seats.

The rules set up in 1952 for seating the alumni were made from pure necessity. Before that time seats were sold on a first-come, first-serve basis. Then the advent of the GI bill following World War II and the Korean conHAT'S A RADIO FREQUENCY

flict, Tech's student body swelled and so did the number on the alumni rolls. This, coupled with an increased interest in football, brought the seating situation to an impasse. The demand for tickets far exceeded Grant Field's capacity.

Howard Ector, former Tech footballer who was a member of the 1940 Orange Bowl team which defeated Missouri 21-7 and had the late Ted Husing in a lather trying to follow action on the field, was then Athletic Association business manager. He worked out the criteria for giving priority to alumni and won the approval of the Athletic Board and the everlasting gratitude of Tech graduates.

Under the plan, an alumnus was considered first by his class, second by his "active" capacity, and third by the number of seasons he had ordered football tickets. Those who measured up well were given preference. Graduates were made eligible for four sideline (West Stand) seats and those who wished to keep their old seats were allowed to do so.

At the same time, the practice of permitting non-Tech persons to purchase large blocks of sideline seats was ended.

Those who had previously purchased these blocks could buy two sideline seats if the order continued from year to year. If it stopped, the seats went to the alumni. This priority system worked well and somewhat eased a tough situation.

Bob Eskew brought the idea for turning seat allocations over to a computer to the Athletic Association when he became business manager in 1959. Eskew had obtained his master's degree at Tech in Industrial Engineering and had Continued on page 14 13

were placed on ticket envelopes and this method reduced the chances for human error. Two separate envelopes were used for season and individual game tickets. Then the 220 produced a carbon copy of its work for checking purposes.

When the team made a trip outside of Georgia, priority was given to the active alumni in the state where the game was to be played. In this case the machine computed the number of home state orders, printed the labels and marked them with an HS for home state. It was then a simple matter for Eskew's staff to count off and set aside the best tickets alloted to Tech in the out-of-state stadium.

For Homecoming, the 220 computed the number of orders from each class holding a reunion and seated the classes together.

This year, the system has been further refined and the computer put back to work. The same general priority rules, graduating class, active status, and season ticket orders, were used, but the computer looked at all the alumni, regardless of where they sat last year. The key to the refined system is the word "consecutive." Graduates who wanted their old seats back got them and non-Tech people went back into their old seats.

The priority system was refined after a great deal of study and with close cooperation by the Alumni Office.

Many schemes were considered, but Eskew says the one adopted insures complete fairness to all alumni, even to those who do not live in the area. It also supplies the means for rewarding those who have worked for Tech's benefit without previous recognition.

The new system provides that the persons with the lowest system numbers get the highest priority. Here's how it works. Take the year of graduation, subtract the number of consecutive years as a Roll Call contributor, then subtract the number of consecutive years that season tickets were ordered. The remaining figure is the priority number.

For instance:

worked in Tech's Rich Electronic Computer Center after serving as acting director of Short Courses and Conferences.

Later, he was working for the Alumni Association when records were being put on data processing cards. Eskew knew the many applications of a computer. He also knew that the Alumni Association had all the necessary information on graduates. Why not put the two together and automate the chore of assigning stadium seats? Not only would such a system end the physical drudgery, but Eskew felt the lightning-fast computer would allow refinements in the seating method. It was easier said than done.

When Eskew consulted with his friends in Tech's Computer Center, a lot of question marks still remained. Such a project had never been undertaken before. How was it to be handled? Who was sitting where in the stadium? How could the seats be vacated? How could the people be moved to more desirable seats? They were dealing with a jigsaw puzzle of grotesque dimensions. The project was placed under the direction of Clarence C. Miley, also a Tech graduate. Finally the Computer Center's Charles P. Reed, Jr., who holds a master's in Electrical Engineering from Tech, recognized the seating problem as being similar to a project on which he had worked involving the control of radio interference. How to keep mobile radio transmitters, such as one finds in cabs, police cars, or in a combat area, from overlapping had been the problem. A master form had been worked out to control the situation. Information from this project brought a breakthrough in the seating problem.

Alumni Association data was then converted to computer language and Miley programmed it for the Burroughs 220.

No great effort was made in 1961 to improve the seating criteria set up years before. The electronic "brain" merely took over the labor.

The hard part of the system, and the heart of the whole 1 9 4 9 G r a d u a t i n g class business, was determining how to improve seating.

A BIG SURPRISE FOR A BIG MAN A T HIGH NOON on August 14, Alumni Secretary Roane

Beard received the biggest surprise of his eventful life.

Walking into the Piedmont Driving Club with Frank Willett to have a quiet lunch, Beard was suddenly confronted with a roomful of people including the plotters of the party (Willett, Paul Duke, Howard McCall and Matt Cole) and their wives; Alumni President Ira Hardin; Associate Secretary Tom Hall; Public Relations Director Fred Ajax; Alumni Administrative Assistant Mary Peeks; and his own wife, Peggy. Still in a fog, Beard was presented with a silver service (below left being admired by the Beards) and a large check (left being stared at in disbelief by Beard).

The money for the silver service and check was raised as a token of appreciation by the plotters (aided by Mary Peeks) from trustees who have worked with Beard during his long and successful stint as Executive Secretary of the Alumni Association.

The big man, not the most emotional one in the world, was overcome by the entire affair as you can see by the picture at the bottom of this page.

that returned from the Tech alumni trip to Europe agreed that Ramblin' Recks was an incisive description of the entire party. The 73 alumni and their families (age span was from an even nine months to a pace-setting 82 years) took off from Atlanta on May 4 bound for Rome, Italy, and a quick-stepping itinerary of the continent.

In Rome, 28 of the more adventurous left the main group to travel on their own until the departure date in London. The rest left their itinerary up to the Osborne Travel Agency of Atlanta.

Italy was the country of perfect timing. In Rome, the legislative balloting for the new president was at its climax.

A cold wave, still holding strong over most of the continent, pushed the usual April spring into May. Flowers were heaped on the Italian landscape at their peak beauty as the "rapido" train (never more than two minutes off schedule) whisked the group from Rome to Naples. The sun dazzled the sea to peaceful splendor and threw diamonds of light into the Blue Grotto excursion to Capri.

Upon arrival in Florence, one Tech husband, whose wife had left their entire wad of traveler's checks carefully hidden under their bed in Rome was dubiously overjoyed when he found them waiting at the hotel desk in Florence.

Three days late in exploring the wonders of Italian handicrafts, they went buying that very evening.

Only Venice, the story-book city of water, broke the schedule with a sudden downpour which cancelled the evening gondola ride.

A. OUND EUROPE By the time the group left Italy, train excursions had become the accustomed mode of travel and each traveler long since knew the importance of snacking off procured bread, cheese, bottles of water (no fizz, please) and red wine.

No amount of browsing over travel folders or reading National Geographies can prepare you for the beauty that is Switzerland.

Finally Paris. It takes more than the usual amount of determination to climb out of bed on Sunday morning after a train ride into the city on Saturday night. But many of the Tech party answered the morning peal of cathedral bells to see what sunlight could do for the "City of Night."

General DeGaulle must have been concerned about his problems for the Eiffel Tower sported the sparkling of sun bouncing off machine gun emplacements. But, even that reminder of the tension that is Paris couldn't dull the excitement of walking along the Seine, seeing Notre Dame for the first time, or stopping for onion soup in the market at 2:00 A.M. The last of the medicine was called out of the travel bags to combat the germs that thrive in the cool days and damp nights of London. Side trips to Oxford, Stratford, and Windsor Castle were daily pleasures with only the concern of making it back to London for the earlier curtain at the theater to mar the days.

President Burns (foreground) and the other officers of the corporation (his mother and his father) that makes circuit boards.

Burns displays dime-size circuit board.

by Frank Bigger which first blossomed in the back of a trucking warehouse in Atlanta little more than a year ago, is now bulging at the seams of its new location.

It all came about because of a young man's pursuit of a hobby.

S. Mitchell (Mickey) Burns, Jr., can be found in the bustling plant with his mother and father, feverishly making drawings, snapping pictures, developing negatives, laminatting fiber glass plates with copper, adjusting gold electroplaters and etching devices, taking orders, making deliveries, and smoothing the finishing touches into their product—printed circuit boards.

In recent years these printed circuits have taken the electronics industry by storm and are finding dozens of applications in man's race to the stars.

They call their company, Burco, Inc., and the Burns clan, with the help of two technicians, a part time secretary, a close friend working for stock, and assorted salesmen who drop by and get caught up in the excitement, is turning out the precision instruments by the thousands. When the going gets really hectic, part time help is recruited from the student body at Georgia Tech.

The fledgling company's contract list is impressive. Some of Burco's orders come from such organizations as Southern Bell Telephone Co.; Western Electric; RMS Engineering, manufacturers of low frequency receivers; Space Craft, Inc, of Huntsville, Alabama, connected with the Saturn program; Soroban Engineering, makers of sophisticated input-output systems for computers; Pan American Airways, "housekeepers for Cape Canaveral;" the Electronics Research Division at Georgia Tech, Lockheed-Georgia Co.; and Scientific Atlanta, designers and manufacturers of microwave equipment.

The advantages of printed circuits over wired circuits are many. Electronic components can be mounted automatically on printed boards, eliminating costly and time-consuming manual wiring. They are flexible, tough, light in weight, and have high impact strength—all important features in the missile industry. They can be used in all kinds of electronic equipment from gigantic, building-size computers to miniature radio sets. In the case of computers and other large electronic devices which contain hundreds of thousands of components, the various parts can be mounted on circuit boards and plugged in as single units. If a unit develops trouble, it can be slipped out and replaced quickly by an identical unit. Here again the compactness of printed circuits is an advantage because the overall machine can be scaled down.

Young Burns, 27, who is president of Burco and serves alone as the organization's entire engineering staff, did not originally set out to become a printed circuit manufacturer.

SPACE AGE INDUSTRY

TECH ALUMNUS

He was trying to build a miniature computer, as a hobby, to teach the principles of computers operation when the plan for the firm came to him. Burns needed some printed circuits for his machine. But nowhere in Atlanta could he find the materials or, for that matter, anyone with the know-how to make the circuits.

But Burns possessed a solid background in electronics.

He had studied physics at Georgia Tech for two years, served with Naval Electronic Materials School in San Francisco, and had been trained by IBM as a customer engineer for their "705" computer. In addition to this, he had worked at Tech's Rich Electronic Computer Center where printed circuits are widely used.

Not a person to be stopped once his mind is set on a goal, Burns decided to make his own circuits. It was then that the idea for the company came to him. Obviously the demand for the gear was great and growing; and the supply limited.

With the help of his father and an outside investor, Burns raised the necessary capital and began turning a rear corner of a warehouse on Atlanta's Hunter Street into a plant. But more obstacles were in the way. The equipment needed to produce printed circuits could not be bought.

Then Burns' determination came into play once more.

Mickey and his father, starting from scratch in many cases, simply built their own equipment. This equipment is unique and they have received orders for duplicates.

Soon the business outgrew its warehouse location and was moved to new quarters on Atlanta's Fourteenth St., sharing a buildng with RMS Engineering. Mickey and his father did much of the labor on the new plant, installing partitioning walls and plumbing on their own. "The only reason we did not do the electrical wiring ourselves," young Burns said, "is that the city code did not permit it."

The corporation was activated in June, 1961, but Burns did not solicit his first order until the following October.

He had spent the intervening time developing the techniques for producing the boards. The first order came from Western Electric and then things really began to hum. The firm has doubled its output with each succeeding month. Both Burns junior and senior have averaged around 100 hours per week on the job.

Even the untrained eye can marvel at the simple beauty of the circuits which come out of the Burns' plant. There is a certain grace in the gold tracings which sweep across the mounting base and gather at terminal points. They are a work of art. Once the components, with their dozens of shapes and vivid colors are added, the printed circuit board is truly a thing at which to marvel; not only for its beauty, but for the electronic feats it can perform.

Burns said that 95 per cent of Burco's work is done to military specifications. Although printed circuits are being used more and more in television and radio sets, (the entertainment market) Burns' company is not directing its effort toward this field. The firm is making prototypes, perhaps just one, or 10, or 50, boards of a kind. This is a rather narrow market Burns is after, but he says that's the SEPTEMBER, 1962

way Burco wants it. His outfit is not financed for mass production.

The largest board produced by Burco to date was of a military nature and measured roughly 10 x 10 inches. The smallest was made for a Martin Aircraft ultra miniature experimental project and measured one-quarter inch by a half inch. Burns said it is theoretically possible to make a circuit board so small that it could not be seen with the naked eye. He then took a solid gold board from his desk.

It was not half the size of a dime.

"This board could be designed to perform all of the functions necessary to produce an image on the picture tube of your television set," he said, "if the other components-could be made small enough." Burns is quite proud of this little number and is seeking a patent on it.

Just how does one make a printed circuit board? Burns explained the goldplating process.

You start with a fiberglass board to which a thin sheet of copper has been laminated. This is then painted with a photo sensitive lacquer. In the dark room a photographic positive of the circuitry to be reproduced is placed over the board and it is exposed to ultra violet light. The board is then developed just like an exposed piece of photographic film. Now we have a reproduction of the circuit printed on the board.

The board next moves to the gold room where a goldcobalt alloy is electroplated over the hardened lacquercopper image. The remaining lacquer is removed and the board is placed in an acid spray etching device where the copper is attacked and eaten away except on the image where it is protected by the acid-impervious gold.

Holes are then drilled in the board so that components may be attached and the fiberglass is cut away from the finger contacts so that the board may be plugged into an electricity source. Resistors, transistors, crystal diodes, small condensers, small inductances, magnetic cores, and electronic gear of all types can be mounted on the board.

Making the boards is precision work and the slightest speck of dust on a board during manufacture could ruin it.

Great care is taken in certain steps to keep dust out of the air, and distilled water must be used to bar impurities.

Although business is booming, young Burns declares he is not a good businessman. "My first love is engineering," he asserts.

Burns said that without the knowledge of electronics he gained at Georgia Tech's Rich Computer Center, Burco could never have been the success it is today.

There is an intenseness; a feeling of excitement and accomplishment at Burco. How could it be otherwise with the company so closely allied with the missile industry and America's space effort? Watching the activity in the laboratories, one feels himself becoming infected by the commotion and vitality. Could this circuit board, or perhaps that one, or maybe the one over there, find itself aboard a manned space craft orbiting the earth, or even outward bound in a vehicle aimed at the moon or a distant planet?

It is entirely possible.

THE DETERMINED MR. MORAN MORAN GETS READY TO SINGLE IN THE ALL-STAR GAME (above) AND IS LATER THROWN OUT AT HOME.

Photographed for The Alumnus by United Press International

A Georgia Tech senior who has been working his way through college since 1952 playing professional baseball suddenly hits the jackpot with the most unbelievable

N THE EIGHTH INNING of the August 23rd game between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Angels, a Georgia Tech senior stepped to the plate for the West Coast team with two out and promptly hit his second home run of the day to tie the score. The unbelievable Angels finally took 13 innings to salvage the third game of the series, 5-4 and ease back into second place in the American League five games back of the Yankees.

The Tech senior was Billy Moran, the second baseman and the most unbelievable of all of the Angels, a team of "cast-offs" who have been doing things like this all season.

Last year, the Cleveland Indians gave up on Moran after nine years of moving him back and forth from the minors.

"I don't care much for the Cleveland organization," he said, "but they did do me one big favor. They sold me to Toronto where I had a hot streak and was picked up by the Angels."

This year, Moran-â&#x20AC;&#x201D;who carried the good-field, no-hit tag before his streak at Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;has been batting around the .300 mark, has already hit 16 home runs, and has been the sparkplug of a team that nobody figures could possibly top its seventh-place finish of last year. So spectacular has been the East Point (Georgia) native's play that his peers voted him the best second baseman in the league, insuring his start in both of the 1962 all star games, an honor normally not accorded college students.

But then, Billy Moran is no ordinary college student.

He has been working on his degree at Tech since 1952, the year he entered organized baseball as a highly touted bonus boy. In his original bonus contract, Moran insisted that the Indians put in a clause allowing him three quarters each year to attend college as long as he remained in the minors. "I entered in Mechanical Engineering as a freshman and went the full three quarters," he recalled on the phone. "But during the second year, I decided that if I were to ever get a Tech degree, I would have to switch majors. I was passing, but I could see the trouble ahead. I liked engineering, but I had absolutely no aptitude for it, so I decided to try Industrial Management. I wanted that Tech

team in many a year

degree."

Since the switch, Moran has been coming back to Tech one quarter a year with two years out for army duty. Over the past six quarters, he has recorded an average better than 3.0. He has only one quarter to go to get his degree, and currently is planning to miss part of spring practice to attend the 1963 winter session. "Normally I go in the fall, but this means I have to get permission from the front office to miss the last week of the season. With our current position I doubt that I could get the permission even if I wanted it," Moran added.

"When I was shipped to Toronto," he added, "I had decided to give baseball the rest of that year and then come back to Tech, get my degree, and go out into the business world. It's tough supporting a wife and three boys on a minor league salary. Now, I'm going to stay with the game until I'm washed up in the majors. I'll have my degree then and I don't intend to fade away in the minors. I figure I have several good years ahead of me, yet. I guess I just matured late."

Moran doesn't agree with the critics who have been saying the Angels would fold completely this year. "This is a good ball club," he answered. "The infield and outfield are both defensively sound, and now that the pitching is starting to pick up, I think we're still going to surprise a lot of people before this season is over."

In the first all star game at Washington, D. C, Moran tied one record in a game won by the National League: he didn't have a single chance in the field during the entire eight innings he played. "The only time I touched the ball was when we tossed it around the infield in practice or after an out," he said. "Not being in the action didn't help calm me down in my first appearance before an all-star crowd."

In the second game at Chicago, Moran figured in two double plays and got his second all-star hit as he again went eight innings, longest of any of the starting infielders.

By the way the 28-year-old Moran is going both afield and at bat, next year Tech may have its first alumnus in an all star game.

Make the dream last.. . with stainless steel Now you can protect the new look of that dream house . . . if you use stainless steel in the right places. Gutters, downspouts and flashing will never cause ugly corrosion stains. Doors and windows won't dent, warp, stick or rust. And the strength of stainless steel makes possible screening so fine you hardly know it's there.

M a n y other things cost less in the long run too—such as lawn furniture, barbecues and garden tools. And inside the house, stainless steel brings the same carefree beauty t o your kitchen.

The lifetime quality of stainless steel comes from chromium—one of many essential alloying metals developed by Union Carbide. I n the basic fields of metals, as well as carbons, chemicals, gases, plastics and nuclear energy, research by the people of Union Carbide will continue t o help bring you more useful products for today's living.
