Lobostido sets his man up.

Boxing Mustang fans experienced a terrific showing this season by Coach Tom Lee's raging mittmen. The locals displayed their knowledge of the fight game by winning six of their eight dual matches. Also, Poly emerged from the PCI's with a 147-pound champion, Frank Loduca. Loduca thrilled fans consistently with his mastery of the sport. Rudy Brooks dropped an extremely close PCI decision, which fans felt might have gone either way. Poly entered the Nationals, held at Madison, Wisconsin, where they placed eleventh among twenty-one schools. It was rated a good show­ing, because our boys met the top collegiate fighters from all over the nation .

Poly mermen, spurred on by Coach Anderson , displayed some terrific performances this year. The team had to its advantage some fine indi­viduals such as Gene Lenz and Buster Lau. Lenz, a freshman, repeatedly won his specialties - - -the 1,500 meter, the 220 yard free-style, and the 440. Lau broke a school record , swimming the 200 yard breaststroke in 2 minutes, 37.8 sec­onds, against Long Beach Navy.

Poly grapplers, under the strong arm of Coach Shelden Harden, made a fair showing this year facing such powerhouses as San Diego and San Jose State. True, they were "inhibited" by their win, loss record, but at times throughout the season it appeared they would overcome this. The Mustang matmen played host to this year's P. C. I. W. A. , which was held in Crandall Gym.

An exhausted Gene lenz won the 1500 meter event in the CCAA finals. Norman Dyche tokes down a Pendelton Marine.

Mustang golfers, shaped up by Coach Chuck Hanks, had a fairly successful season this year. The Hanksmen featured such individuals as Tom McFadden, runner-up in the second flight of the Northern Col­legiate Championships, who proved his worth at such times as when he fired a 71 at Fresno, only in this in­stance, it was to no avail. Harlan Griswold captured . medalist honors shooting a par 72 against Occiden­tal on thP. wind swept Sonia Maria Gold Course. Phil Coffin also took honors when he won the seventh flight of the Northern California Col­legiate Championships at Santa Cruz. In the C.C.A.A., the Mustangs p laced second behind Fresno State over a course of 54 holes .

Coach Jensen got a fresh start this yea r as did the whole team. Several trackmen showed up for the '56 season, but among them were only six veterans . It seems Bob Heffron emerged the star of local club, running off with more than his share of f irsts in the 100 a nd 220. This yea r's Musta ngs compiled much valued ex­perience which they will further initia te next season.

They fostered a fine winni ng streak, proving their superiority over such schools as Cal. Tech ., Fresno State and other strong clubs. In the C. C. A.

Spring

Football Fifteen lettermen were among the f ifty gridders who turned out for spring football drills on April 30. With transfers and freshmen, they went through twenty days of rugged training , which was climaxed by the intra -squad game on May 25 . The Mustangs showed an improved line and a strong backfield that should give their opponents a lot of trouble next season.

"The problem we face in education is how to produce informed

individuals capable of leadership; how to produce people who

can think independently, and whose thinking is based on sound

knowledge. Students cannot be regarded as mere receptacles

for information."

This newly-formed student affiliate branch of the American

Institute of Electrical Engineers was chartered February 22 of thi s year. Its purposes are the dissemination of the knowl­

edge of the th eory and practice of a ll aspects of electrical engineer ing and all ied fields, as well as the furtherance of

the professional development of the student.

This new affiliate rose to rapid fame on April 10 of th is year by taking first place in the student paper competition

in the southern section . Bob Snowman, EE sen ior from San

Members of the American Society of Tool Engineers.

On February 15, 1956, Student Chapter # 12 of the Amer­

ican Society of Tool Engineers was chartered on the Cal Poly

campus . This was the first student chapter of this society

established on the Pacific coast.

Tool engineering, a new term to many, has to do with plan ­

ning processes of manufacture, supplying the tools, and

integrating the facilities required for production of modern­

day products as efficiently as possible. Students who take

a particular interest in machine shop practice, regardless of

their major, are invited and encouraged to become members.

Monthly meetings this spring have included technical talks

by tool engineers on such subjects as tool steel , di e design,

and machinability computers. Other activities of the chapter

have included a field trip to the San Francisco area, and

the ASTE exhibit for Poly Royal.

Cal Poly has gained national recognition for its practical "learn-by-doing" approach to a college edu-

cation.

their major fields first, and related arts and sciences as they progress.

The College provides a "learn-by-doing" home for the largest undergraduate agriculture division in

the eleven western states, and the third largest undergraduate engineering div1sion in the west. It

has the only department of Agricultural Journalism on the west coast. The department of printing is

one of the very few in the United States which offers a Bachelor of Science Degree in Printing.

At the present time, Cal Poly at San Luis Obispo offers the following curricula:

IN THE ENGINEERING DIVISION: Aeronautical Eng., Air Conditioning and ~efrigeration Eng., Architec­

tural Eng., Electrical Eng., Electronic Eng., Industrial Eng., Machine Shop, Mechanical Eng., Printing,

and Welding.

facturing, Farm Management, Field Crops, Fruit Crops, Truck Crops, Ornamental Horticulture, Poultry

Husbandry, and Soils Science.

tion, Education, English and Speech, Home Economics, Mathematics, Physical Science, Agricultural Chem­

istry, Physical Education, and Social Science.

There are also courses offered in Veterinary Science, Music, and Military Science and Tactics.
