P h.D. Student Fr om Clark U. Interviews Ten Tech Seniors A recent visitor on the Tech campus was Mrs. RaeJt who is studying for Ph.D. in psychology at Clark University. Mrs. Raeft conducted interviews with ten seniors in the past few weeks. The purpose of these interviews is to contrast the engineer's connotation or certain words with those of poets and those who ap· predate poetry. Mrs. Raeft seeks reactions to words through associations. By comparing the different connotations she is striving to find the t rue meaning of words. Mrs. Raeft comes to Worcester with a very interesting background. She is a naturalized refugee who was driven from Austria by Hiller's forces. She s tudied at the University or Washington in Seattle before coming to Clark this year.

FRE HMAN ROOTERS EDGE OPHS IN ROUGH TILT, l-0 On the afternoon o£ Wednesday, Novrmlwr II , the mighty Frosh defeated the Sophomore booters by a 1-0 margin. In their successful conque t for more Goat's Head points, the clttS! of '57 were led by no less than six or coach Geddes' varsity c;occer players. These capable booters wrre held down by a rurcged Sophomore team mainly made up of varsity football players. Tbe small crowd of spectators who braved the crisp weather were well rewarded from the opening kickoff. Displaying tremendous spirit and determination, the two da..'lses fought out the fi rst quarter with neither team gaining much advantaf{e. Beckett played brilliant ball for the Frosh u time a fter time he got off long kicks from his defensive fullback position. DeMatteo and Strom returned the.'ll! kicks and as a result neither offensive line had any opportunity to handle the ball. The Sophs kicked orr in the second ----

quurtt'r and the varsity studdt'd Freshmen began to roll. Continually the ball wa.~ dumped in front or the Sophomore net only to be saved by capable goalie Paul Clery. One of these saves was the block of a sizzling drive by Howie Baker and another a brilliant catch of a penalty shot by letterman Kentunull. This constant pressure at the mouth of the net upset the Sophomore defense men and seconds before the hatr, George Schultz was detected fouling In the penalty area. Bob Brass plactd the ensuing penalty shot in the right upper corner of the cage to put the class of '57 ahead 1-0. The second hair found the Freshmo.n line working deep into Sopho· more territory but the futlbacu cleared the ball before another score could be made. Kentunutl, Brass, Baker and Beckett were standouts ror the class of '57. DeMatteo, Strom, Ctery and Schulu played well for the Sophomore~. The skill or the varsity soccer players proved to be the dlfference as they controlled the ball much or the time. Tr this contest wM an indication of the spirit of both classes, It appears that the events yet to be beld will be terrific.

will recommend appointments of his staff and cadet company commanders to the PMS&T. As was stated above,

selection of cadets for these positions will be based primarily on recommenda tions of the cadets themselves. This will work right on down from the selection of a battalion staff, company commanders, platoon leaders, and all non-commissioned officers such as his platoon sergeant, squad leaders and their assistants. The battalion sergeant major will be selected by the battaJion commander and each company first sergeant by his respective company commander. All recommendations by the cadets will be subject to final review of the PMS&T. The final selections, however, will usually be tbe same as recommendations except in unusual cases which may involve academic reasons. At any rate final selections of cadet ranks will not be made until all have had an adequate chance to demons trate what capabilities they possess and will not be finalized until the end of tbe first semester. It is contemplated that seniors, MS IV cadets, will occupy the key positions of cadet battalion commander, battalion staff and cadet company commanders ; MS Ill students may qualify as platoon leaders; MS 11 students may attain non-commissioned officer ranks from assistant squad leader to battalion sergeant major ; MS I s tudents, fre.,hmen, will be considered as privates. Advanced course students not selected as cadet officers will be privates in Headquarters and Headquarters company.

Changes in cadet officer positions will be drawn from this group.

Last year under the direction of Lt. Colonel Charles E. Harris, PMS&T, and SFC J ohn Grega!, radio instructor, Military Affiliate Radio System (MARS) activities were conducted at Lhe bam station located on the 3rd floor of the MS department building at I 8 Boynton Street. This year MARS facilities are again available. SFC McCreary and Sgt. Eickhorn are assis ting Col. Harris with the MARS a nd bam activities. Those with an amateur license are encouraged to go down to the M S building at 7:30P.M. every Monday evening to participate in the MARS activities. Anyone possessing the above qualifications may at any time they wis h utilize the MS department ham station facilities by prearrangement wi th SFC McCreary or Sgt. Eickhorn. In connection with amateur activities those students who wish to obtain their amateur radio operators license or wbo are interested in learning the international Morse Code are encouraged to utilize the code practice room on the 3rd Ooor of the MS building. Anyone interested should contact either SFC McCreary or Sgt. Eickhorn. Very soon the MARS and ham activities will be enlarged with the cons truction of a 30 foot three element antenna atop Stratton H all. The station will then be moved to the basement of Stratton Hall in a corner of the Soils Lab and will offer a greater output of power and facilities for both radio and radio teletypewriter operation.

are mighty important to us for, you see, we make more than a billion electrical connections each year. Lt takes tbat many to manufacture and install complex telephone equipment in the Bell System. Tlllt'a wilY the revolutionary new method of making electrical connections without solder- a method created by Western Electric engineers together with their teammates at Bell Telephone Laboratoriesis indeed one of the significant engineering achicv~ ments of recent years. Lilla ltullt really creative engineering jobs, the d~ velopmcnt of a tool to make solderless connections grew out of a problem. We had to find a way to connect our newly designed wire spring relay to other components in giant bays of switching equipment. This new relay-something of an engineering achievement itself - can have as many as 36 terminals in an area only 1-3 / S• by 11 / 16". Obviously, the conventional method of hand-wrapping and soldering wires onto the terminals is e~ttremely difficult in such a small area. Aftlr !110ft than five years of research and experimentation. the engineers came up with a pistol-Like power tool capable of making mechanically sound

solderless connections. Shown above are two types of "'wire wrap" tools now used at Western Electric manufacturing locations. They literally shoot wire onto termina.ls ... and do it surer, faster and less expensively tban conventional methods using solder. That's not all. The new "wire wrap'' tool keeps equipment free from solder splashes, wire clippings and reduces bent and distorted terminals. Electrically, the "wire wrap"' tool gives a far better connection than can be made manually . .. the high pressure contacts are stronger, cleaner, more compact and more uniform. Ia lllllllnt •lttl the Bell System policy of sharing technical know-how with all industry, Western Electric will make this tool commercially available to electrical manufacturing companies, such as radio, television and commu nications producers, through licensed tool manufacturers. You'r. rflllt If you ihink we're more than a little pleased with our accomplishment. And as we have been many times before, we're proud of the engineers in all fields - e.lectronics, mechanical, electrical, metallurgical, chemical, industrial- who uphold our reputation for leadership in fundamental manufacturing techniques.
