A ON OCTOBER 6, 1963, President Har­rison announced that the Georgia Tech Foundation, Inc. was the recipient of the largest, undesignated gift in the history of the Institute. The amount was $75,000 (a rather logical figure what with this being the 75th anniversary year and all) and the contributor was a man named L. W. "Chip" Robert, Jr., who in his own 75th year decided to honor his school.

Now, the history of Georgia Tech is full of Chip Robert's contributions to his Alma Mater. And measured against his part in starting the co-operative division or convincing the athletic board that the late W. A. Alexander deserved a shot at the head coaching job here back in 1920, this gift might seem insignificant. But the people here on the campus don't buy this line of thought. To us, this is a starting point—an un­selfish gesture by the 1908 graduate who as much as any other alumnus has helped shape the face of today's Georgia Tech. As his letter points out, he is attempting to influence other alumni to insure the future growth of Georgia Tech.

A SPEAKING OF MR. ROBERT'S letter, it should be required reading for every student of today and tomorrow as well as every alumnus. Here it is just as President Harrison received it:

"Inasmuch as Georgia Tech is now celebrating its 75th Anniversary, and, incidentally, my Class of 1908 its 55th Reunion, I cannot imagine any more propitious time to choose to make a gesture of my deep affection toward my beloved Alma Mater. Therefore, it is my privilege and pleasure at this time to tender to the Georgia Institute of Technology through the Georgia Tech Foundation, Inc. a 75th Anniversary Memorial Gift of Seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000.00) to aid you and your able associates in the future development of this fine institution, which has already made itself such a major part of our community, our state, and our nation in scientific educational af­fairs.

"Please pardon personal references but it was just sixty years ago this sum­mer, shortly before my sixteenth birthday, that I took one of my life's most vital steps. While enroute to Cornell Univer­

sity with hopes for a college engineer­ing education, I stopped over in Atlanta to enter the Georgia School of Tech­nology as a Sub-Apprentice to make up for my lack of high school opportunities. This school was then a young and struggling institution but somehow it soon demonstrated to me in its own ambitious endeavors the very goals I my­self aspired to. It is history now that I never left Georgia Tech for Cornell University, but instead I remained for six years to graduate in the Class of 1908 and added an extra post-graduate year in 1909.

"My decision to remain at Georgia Tech has never caused me a single re­gret. To the contrary, it has brought me great happiness and memories. I have lived to love and honor this fine in­stitution more and more as the years have passed. I have lived to see Georgia Tech rise to great heights, developing most enviable and honorable traditions as it steered along in its course, always aspiring and aiming at the very best in education our nation could produce.

"Further, it has been by good fortune to remain close by in Atlanta after my graduation. Therefore, 1 have been able to watch at close range as Georgia Tech grew to its present high status. Along with many others of our loyal Alumni and friends, I have revelled in its re­flected glory and accomplishments, and along with these loyal Alumni and friends, I have been able to give what­ever aid and encouragement we could at the time to help with these accomplish­ments. Needless to say, all of this has meant a great deal in my life, and I feel most happy that I can now express in a somewhat more substantial way my deep love and gratitude by making this particular gift to Tech on its 75th An­niversary.

"I am asking our Georgia Tech Foundation through its Officers and Di­rectors to accept this Memorial Gift so that they along with you can see that it is used in the ways that will mean most to Georgia Tech and my native State and to add to the institution's ability to further carry on its fine aspirations and traditions for which all of us as Alumni and friends are so justly proud.

"The present outstanding educational and research program which our Gov­ernor and his administration are so ably

TECH ALUMNUS

and strongly endorsing is the kind of program to make our college more and more the valuable asset so needed in our State and which I do so strongly en­dorse and support.

"It is my hope that this personal gift along with other similar gifts I am sure will follow may give further impetus to such valuable programs in helping make available to our young people of the future who might choose a career at Georgia Tech the very best in education and environment toward successful careers. Also 1 hope these same young people will find this successful future by staying and prospering right here in our own wonderful State and Southland. There exists no greater opportunities anywhere than are afforded right here at home."

^ LOOK NO FURTHER than the text of this letter to discover why Tech — in spite of all of its problems over the years — has become what it is today. Without the Chip Robert's it might have been just another trade school.

A BACK IN THE late 30's and early 40's, it was generally theorized by both stu­dents and faculty at Georgia Tech that the two biggest "hams" among Tech teachers were English professors, Fred W. Ajax and Mitchell Cox.

Ajax, Tech's public relations director, still goes out on the speakers' circuit and waves his hands and emotes with the best of them. And Cox, now vice presi­dent (also public relations) for the Pepsi Cola Company, has taken the final step in proving that the earlier theory was absolutely correct. He has become an actor. Cox took a part in the new suspense shocker, 'Straight Jacket," re­cently filmed in Hollywood. He was conned into the assignment by Joan Crawford, by far the most attractive of Pepsi's vice presidents.

After the experience, Cox said, "I'll never make another belittling remark about Hollywood. I was scared silly."

Now if we can only convince Holly­wood to use Ajax in say the remake of "The Great Ziegfeld."

A. SINCE THE last issue appeared, we have managed to survive that dreaded autograph tea we were speaking of in this space. It was the most harrowing experience of our life — worse by far than facing a Shorty Bortell physics quiz or a D. M. Smith math exam. If for no other reason than the threat of a repeat of this torture, we have decided never to write another book. B. W.

THE FACE OF GEORGIA TECH

XV

IN THE 75 years of Georgia Tech there has never been a day quite as shining and dignified as was Monday, October 7. With 4,500 students, alumni, and members of the Tech family looking on, the largest academic convocation in the history of the State of Georgia began to move into the Alexander Memorial Coliseum. Representatives of 330 colleges, universities, and learned societies joined 333 mem­

bers of the Tech faculty in the impressive ceremony. The speakers included Governor Carl Sanders; Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr.; alumnus David Harris, son of the founder of Tech; Regents' Professor Joseph Vidosic; Student Body President John Hayes; and Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara, shown here making the keynote address. For more about the climactic day of a year, please turn the page.

THE CLIMACTIC DAY- continued

The backstage

wait is full

of tension

and hurry

THE RESPONSIBILITY for the success or failure of the day's festivities fell on four Tech men — Chief Marshal George Griffin, Marshal of the Faculty Paul Weber, Marshal of the Official Delegates Fred Ajax, and Joe Guthridge, who was the 75th anniversary committee's plan­ning head for the show. On these pages are pictured a few of their problems.

Feeling the tension of the moment, three of the principals in the convocation—(1 to r) President Harrison, Regents' Professor Vid-osic, and Chief Marshal Griffin — rehearse their lines. Below, part of the 330 delegates from universities line up for the procession.

A warning sign goes unheeded as a delegate helps a compatriot (above), while (below) Marshal Ajax briefs delegates on their part in the show and (right) President Harri­son rushes past the line to find his place.

THE CLIMACTIC DAY- continued

With the roll of the drums

and the lifted arms of an

old friend, the biggest

academic procession moves PROMPTLY AT 10:30 A.M. on Monday, October 7, Dean George C. Griffin as chief marshal mounted the platform in the Coliseum, lifted his arms, and asked the audience to stand. Then to the familiar strains of the Tech band's ver­sion of "Pomp and Circumstance" the procession began. Leading the 15-minute parade were Dean Fred Ajax (left in bottom picture) at the head of the official delegates and Dean Paul Weber (right) at the head of the Tech faculty. After the delegates arrived in place, Chief Marshal Griffin went back and led the official party up to the platform, turned to President Edwin D. Harrison, and reported that the convocation was assembled. The Reverend Arthur J. Moore then began the ceremonies with the invocation fol­lowed by the greetings from the State of Georgia (by Gov­ernor Carl E. Sanders), the Gj£y of Atlanta (by Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr.), the faculty (by Regents' Professor Joseph Vidosic substituting for Professor A. D. Holland, oldest member of the teaching staff who was ill at the time), the students (by Student Body President John Hayes), and finally the alumni (by David W. Harris of the class of 1912, son of the founder of Georgia Tech). President Harrison then returned the response of the Institute and introduced Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara, who gave the speech which starts on the following page.

In the day's major address, Secretary of Defense McNamara

discusses some responsibilities of Tech in a changing time

• • ^ • • i ^ k (

GEORGIA TECH" IAM DELIGHTED to be here today to help cele­brate this 75th Anniversary Convocation. We are here specifically to honor Georgia Tech,

but in a much broader sense we honor the renewed dedication to excellence in education that is being felt all across this country, and which is so vitally important to the future of this country.

I have an additional pleasure in coming here today. There is always a special feeling for a Secretary of Defense to visit anywhere in Georgia, because for as long as we have had Secretaries of Defense, their chairmen on Capitol Hill have normally been Carl Vinson and Richard Russell. So for a Secretary of Defense to visit Georgia is somewhat akin to the Director of the Mint going to visit the Mother Lode.

The remarkable thing about this occasion is not that Tech is 75 years old today, but that it is only 75 years old. As universities go, that is not a very advanced age. And yet you are one of the oldest technical institutions in the country, which suggests how fast the world is changing, how rap­idly the technological revolution is moving along.

I hardly need to tell you that an institution like this has an immense contribution to make to its community, to its region, and to the nation.

Yet your importance to the Atlanta community is even greater than is sometimes understood. Defense officials and NASA officials are often asked why such a relatively large share of our space and missile and advanced electronics con­tracts are given to firms in a relatively few parts of the country. Why can't we spread these "missile and space age" contracts around more than we presently do. There is a very simple answer. If you look at the places that tend to earn relatively large numbers of such contracts, you will find that these are the communities which boast great cen-

THE CLIMACTIC DAY- continued

ters of technological and scientific education. The "space age" research-oriented firms find it desirable to establish themselves near these centers. These areas get such contracts from the Department of Defense, and from NASA, and from private indus­try, because they are centers for the research-oriented firms that can do this kind of work best. That is one reason why Georgia Tech has such a great contribution to make to this community. As this institution grows in prestige and in the excellence of its research programs, and in the high standards of its student body, it can provide the catalyst that is needed to draw more research-oriented firms to this area and to support their efforts.

For somewhat different reasons, Georgia Tech has the promise of making an important contri­bution to the progress of this entire region. Scholars and scientists from Georgia Tech, combining their special familiarity and interest in this part of the country with their general competence in the latest developments of the new technologies can help mightily in developing the prosperity and speeding the progress of this whole area.

But important as Georgia Tech is to its commu­nity and to its region, I am sure that none of you would be satisfied if Georgia Tech were only a community or a regional institution. That nearly half your students are drawn from outside Georgia, that you draw to this campus faculty and students from all over the world, reflect the fact that you have a place, and a contribution to make, in this nation and in the world. It is about that broader role that I want to talk this morning, and par­ticularly the need for institutions like this, prima­rily technical and scientific in character, to produce men who are more than narrow technical special­ists. This is a familiar theMe. Everyone who is interested in education talks of the need to develop the "whole man." But I don't believe anyone can serve in the government, no matter how convinced he had already been of the need for these "whole men," and fail to be newly impressed with the extent to which the kind of problems we must grapple with all the time simply cannot be handled

by men lacking any real insight beyond their narrow specialists.

We could have the most brilliant leaders, assisted by the most brilliant experts in international affairs and the most brilliant generals and admirals, but it would do us no good if all these brilliant men, at the moment of crisis, found that technical deci­sions made earlier, in too narrow a context, had foreclosed the most sensible policy.

And what is true of the technical decisions is equally true of the other specialized problems we face. We could find ourselves in a disastrous posi­tion if we had adopted military tactics and doc­trine, narrowly conceived without a real appre­ciation of the political and psychological factors that shape the way in which crises are likely to arise, and so found ourselves, at the moment of truth, unable to either make a military response or not make a military response without severely damaging our vital interests. In similar fashion, if we were to enter into arms control agreements that were not based on a tough-minded under­standing of the possible military implications of those agreements, we could find that a step taken in the hope that it was a step towards peace turned out to be a step towards disaster. Yet, to come full circle, if those of us with military responsibilities looked at every arms control proposal only in the narrowest military terms, we would always find something or other to fear. We would never approve any step, even though we agreed, in principle, that unless steps towards arms control are taken mankind is almost certainly headed for disaster.

In short, the kind of problems we face simply are not susceptible to narrowly-conceived solutions. The complex balancing of conflicting judgments, of offsetting risks, cannot be handled by narrow experts who cannot see beyond their own most direct concerns. Our problem is how best to ad­vance the interests of the United States, and of mankind. To do that we need men in senior posi­tions who have trained themselves to think in terms of the overall interests of their country and the world—interests which are rarely if ever iden­tical to the narrower interests of a particular service or particular region or specialized policy area.

12 TECH ALUMNUS

So, it is not just a question of the scientists and engineers designing some weapons, and then, in effect, saying to the military, "All right, now you figure out a sensible way to fight with them if you have to," and saying to the statesmen, "All right, now you figure out a way to live with these things we've created." There is not such a simple division of labor. The scientific and technical work —for which we must look to the graduates of insti­tutions such as Georgia Tech—has to be done with an understanding of military problems, and both the technical and the military decisions have to be made with an understanding of overall foreign policy objectives.

You cannot divide the kind of problems the world faces today into a military piece and a tech­nical piece and a legal piece and a foreign policy piece, as if you were subcontracting a construc­tion job.

Nor can we deal with the dangers of over-specialization simply by improving "communica­tion" between the specialists. There is too much of a tendency these days to try to explain away half of our difficulties by saying that we ought to "communicate more" or "coordinate more." It is unrealistic to think that policy-making problems can be resolved simply by passing more papers around or changing the ways that papers are passed. That might produce an impressive looking organization chart, but it does not guarantee a sound decision-making process.

What we need is not merely communication, but understanding. And, unfortunately, communi­cation does not necessarily imply understanding.

You can't give a man the insight he needs into problems outside his specialty simply by passing him a paper or two. That is something a man has to develop over a period of years by being inter­ested in the whole range of issues that are impor­tant in today's world, by reading widely, and by thinking broadly about problems outside his imme­diate specialty.

The quality that distinguishes the really out­standing scientist or engineer is an instinct that leads him to ask the right questions, that leads him to try the right kind of approach. That kind of intuition can hardly be explained by vague talk

about a "sixth sense." The creative instinct is part and parcel of a man's deep interest in his field, and his basic abilities in that field. A man who has, through his interest and ability, acquired a deep understanding of his field will find himself with this instinct that leads him to promising lines of tackling a problem.

In the same way, I believe that men with a deep interest in the broad range of issues that we face in these difficult times will find themselves with a built-in feeling, an instinct, for being aware of the potential ramifications of decisions in their special­ized fields for decision-makers in other areas.

This is the kind of instinct that makes a military man aware that a certain plan of action perfectly sound from a narrowly military view, might pro­duce foreign policy difficulties; which makes a man in the State Department aware that a certain way of dealing with a controversy with another nation, perfectly sensible from a narrow diplomatic point of view, could create a difficult situation for our military commanders responsible for that area. I am not suggesting that these men can be all-purpose experts: but they can have enough feeling for other policy areas to reach judgments which reflect an understanding of the broader implications of what they are considering.

And although I have been talking primarily in terms of problems we face in the national security area, the need for people who can see things in broad perspective, who can pick themselves up to see over the walls that tend to divide modern life into separate compartments of knowledge, is not at all limited only to national security problems. In the years ahead, we are going to be facing important and extremely complex problems in trying to conserve our natural resources, modern­ize our cities and industries, develop new means of mass transportation, control pollution of the air we breathe and the water we drink.

This is why the demands on today's military and diplomatic and scientific and economic deci­sion-makers are very heavy indeed. We have been fortunate to find so many men capable of meeting these demands in the military services, in the for­eign service, in public service generally. But we are going to need more and more of such people

OCTOBER 1963 13

THE CLIMACTIC DAY- continued

in the future, and our standards are going to be pushed higher and higher.

I saw a good deal of the kind of men we need in Viet Nam last week. I have never come back from one of these trips without a sense of pride in the courage, intelligence, and dedication of the men, in and out of the military services, who repre­sent this country abroad. The character and ability of these men—and a good many of them are not much older than those of you in the student body today—are properly destroying the myth of the ugly American.

I hope that many of you here today as students will want to spend at least part of your careers in public service. When you do, you will have no regrets about the time you have spent on fields outside your scientific and engineering specialties —the efforts you have made to gain an understand­ing of foreign policy and politics and economics. For the problems I have been outlining—the com­plex nature of the issues we must face, the con­tinuous interaction among the different decision areas—can only become more acute as we move further into the age of technology.

C. P. Snow warned us about the lack of com­munication between what he called the "two cul­tures"—the scientific and the literary. In fact, of course, we could count up a dozen cultures within modern society, each tending to speak in its own private language—of the law, of sociology, of philosophy, of economies, and so on and on— each tending to be cut off from the understand­ing of the others, and even more noticeably, all of them tending to be cut off from the understand­ing of the average citizen. I don't believe anyone who has served in public life has escaped the feel­ing of frustration that comes from the difficulty of explaining the why's and* wherefore's of major policy issues to the broad audience whose support is absolutely essential in our democratic society.

Yet as our society grows more complex, as these walls tend to rise, there are other forces that pull the different disciplines together. The most basic of these forces is the compelling fact that as the specialists probe deeper and deeper into the com­

plexities of their special areas, they find an increas­ing awareness that these areas cannot be under­stood except from some broader perspective outside the specialty.

I have already suggested something of this process in the national security area. Military and technical questions affecting national defense today tend to be enormously more complicated than any faced by earlier generations. And yet at the same time, what might superficially seem narrowly mili­tary or technical decisions have increasingly pro­found implications for each other and for the whole course of our foreign policy.

A parallel situation can be found among the scientific disciplines, where the specialties multiply and yet, as these specialties multiply, we are also finding that the traditional divisions of science are breaking down. The line between physics and chemistry becomes increasingly hard to draw. Even the line between the physical sciences and the life sciences grows fuzzy. Whole new subjects arise— oceanography, geophysics, biophysics—which tend to make a shambles of the traditional organizations of universities. I am told, although I am not quite ready to believe it, that some of you in the univer­sity world face quite as severe problems of reorgan­ization and jurisdictional controversy as we some­times do in the Pentagon.

The French theologian de Chardin perceived this process as well as anyone. He wrote of the "com-plexification" of life, of the evolution of the world of nature and the world of thought into an increas­ingly elaborate web of understanding, and he saw the creation of this web of understanding as the destiny of man. It is grappling with this "complexi-fication," with all its difficulties and frustrations, that provides much of the fascination of our times and suggests why Georgia Tech and other great institutions of learning have such a central and vital role to play in our times.

We usually only get a chance to voice the com­monplace about "this is a beginning, not an end" in a commencement address. I will allow myself that privilege today, though. For this 75th Convo­cation of Georgia Tech is a commencement, and I have no doubt that it will prove to be the beginning of a very bright chapter in your history.

JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS over a month before the convoca­tion, the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company sent its new blimp the Columbia, to Atlanta to help with the 75 th cele­bration. Originally scheduled to furnish a floating platform for the CBS-TV cameras at the Tech-Florida game, the blimp spent 10 days in the city. During three of the nights, the sky over Adanta was brightened by a series of signs ranging from "Goodyear salutes Georgia Tech on 75 years of Quality Education," to advertisements for football tick­ets. On the day of the game, the blimp was in the air when the rains came and washed out one important part of the telecast plans. To discover what other problems the rains brought to the CBS crew and to others involved in the celebration, please turn to page 18.

ALUMNI CLUB OFFICERS AND TRUSTEES

COME BACK FOR A SPECIAL WEEKEND

FOR THE FIRST TIME in the 55-year history of the Georgia Tech National Alumni Association, the top Tech alumni

leaders from throughout the nation gathered on the campus September 13-14 for a special "Club Officers' Weekend." The indoctrination program—conceived and executed by Associate Secretary Tom Hall—attracted officers from 31 of Tech's 45 active clubs. The club presidents and their guests heard talks by Dean George Griffin, Publications Director Bob Wallace, Director of Development Joe Guth-ridge, Alumni Secretary Roane Beard, Coach Bobby Dodd, and Hall. The subjects ranged from "The Past, Present and Future of Tech" to "How the National Office Can Help with Club Meetings and Organization."

Tied to this two-day workshop, was a special 75th Anni­versary Banquet honoring Tech's alumni leadership through­out the years. The fast-moving evening program featured Charlie Smithgall as master of ceremonies and a short ad­dress on "The Importance of the Alumni to Tech's Growth," by President Harrison. Over 300 former trustees of the National Alumni Association, club officers, and their wives and guests attended the banquet.

It was a weekend of work and play for a record number of important and dedicated alumni as these pictures indicate.

The largest group of Tech alumni trustees and club officers ever assembled were at the 75th Anniversary banquet at the Driving Club on the evening of September 13. They heard a short talk by President Edwin D. Harrison.

Touring the campus Friday afternoon, the club officers visited the Computer Center.

Twenty-two top high school bands and

a national TV network join in the fun WHEN TECH was notified that the Florida football game would be telecast nationally as the opener of the 1963 NCAA series providing that the date could be switched from September 21 to September 14, the big problem be­came the pregame and half time shows. There would be no students on campus at the earlier date, consequently no band. The problem was solved when a campus committee decided to bring in the top high school bands from through­out the State of Georgia to put on the program. The bands —selected because they won a superior rating in the State Music Festivals in the spring—were invited, furnished music and transportation and briefed by^Tech's band director, Ben Logan Sisk. The halftime show was built on the theme of "Tech's first 75 years of educational service to the State." It was directed by Sisk and Sanford B. Campbell, director of the Brooks County Band and chairman of the instru­mental division of the Georgia Music Educators Associa­tion. On the morning of the 14th, the bands began their only rehearsal together at 9:00 A.M. but never got through the entire show because of the rains that hit Atlanta around 10:45 A.M. Then, coming out from hiding places all over the campus, the more than 1900 musicians from all over Georgia put on a show that was the talk of the weekend.

OCTOBER 1963

Jackets reproduce 1962 record in first five games

The rain and mud seemed to be to the liking of Tech's Billy Lothridge who had a field day throwing (above) and running against both Florida and Clemson. For his efforts against Clemson and Tennessee he was "back of the week" in the Associated Press Poll.

AT THE END of the first half of the 1963 season, the Jackets had rung up a carbon copy record of the 1962 year's as they beat Florida, Clemson, and Tennessee and lost to LSU and Auburn. Considering the manpower losses during that first half, Tech will have to produce a miracle to continue the duplication of last year's record.

Florida came to Grant Field on September 14 with the mantle of SEC powerhouse draped on its back. Using the rain and wet field to advantage, the Jackets punted the Gators into submission, 9-0, before the CBS-TV cameras. Tech scored in the second quarter via a Billy Lothridge field goal from the Florida 25 after a Gator fourth-and-one gamble had failed at the 35. A Lothridge punt in the third period was covered at the Florida 2 and led to the touch­down when Dupree, the great Gator fullback, fumbled the ball on the first play from there and Tech claimed it at the nine. Two plays later Joe Auer went in from the two for the final points.

September 28 was an even wetter day than the 14th and Tech again enjoyed the mud as they beat Clemson, 27-0. Celebrating the first anniversary of his coming-out party against these same Tigers, Lothridge did everything but provide shelter for the crowd. He only completed three of nine passes, but all of them were for scores-—to Gary Williams, Ted Davis, and Billy Martin. He kicked two field goals in the downpour — one for 40 yards and the second for 36. He punted five times for 34 yards, without a single punt return, added two extra points and was eventually named Associated Press back-of-the-week. Clemson never threatened until the final minutes when the Jackets halted the Tigers at the Tech 10.

The first time the Jackets hit a dry field, their unbeaten, unscored-upon record went out the window when LSU maintained its third-game jinx by easing by Tech, 7-6, in Baton Rouge. The Tigers scored in the first quarter on a 45-yard drive with quarterback Pat Screen leading the way. Tech fought back with two field goals by Lothridge in the second period but two other tries at three-pointers failed in the final period.

Lothridge was named AP top back in the nation for the second time in three weeks after he led a personal assault on Tennessee as Tech bounced back to beat the Vols, 23-7, in Knoxville. Producing drives of 64 yards, 61 yards, 78 yards, and 64 yards, the Jackets scored in the second period on a Lothridge drive, later in the same period on the con­troversial long pass from Lothridge to Ted Davis, in the third period on a Lothridge-led drive that saw Ray Mend-heim go over from the five, and in the final minute on a 28-yard field goal by Lothridge. The Vols scored early in the fourth period.

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets seemed intent on cele­brating another "Year of the Tiger" as they fell to the

20 TECH ALUMNUS

Auburn variety 29-21 in the wildest offensive show seen on Grant Field since the 1954 LSU game which Tech won 30-20.

A Grant Field record crowd of 53,091 saw the Jackets get the first break of the game on the third play from scrim­mage when Johnny Gresham made a diving interception of a Jimmy Sidle pass on the Auburn 21. Alternating Mend-heim and Auer, Lothridge took Tech in to score on five plays and added the point to make it, 7-0, with just four minutes elapsed. The Tigers roared right back with a 80-yard drive of their own which tied the score. As the quarter ended, the Tigers were on their way again with a 76-yard drive which closed out, 44 seconds after the second period began on a three-yard pass play from Sidle to fullback Larry Rawson. The point made it, 7-14, Auburn.

Lothridge suffered the rare indignity of being tackled for a safety following an Auburn out-of-bounds punt at the Tech five some five minutes later as he avoided one man in the end zone but was brought down by another just in­side the line. Auburn led, 7-16. Tech then put together its first long drive of the day the next time they got their hands

on the ball and went 80 yards in 14 plays with young Terry Haddock going in from the five on a run that cost Tech his services for the rest of the game. Ray Mendheim, who had the greatest day a Jacket fullback had produced since the era of Glenn Turner, picked up 26 of the yards on plunges in which he usually carried a couple of Auburn men with him. Tech went out at the half with only a 14-16 deficit.

Tech finally went ahead again, 21-16, halfway through the third period. Mendheim again did most of the running in the 46-yard drive that ended with a 15-yard pass play from Lothridge to Dick Emerson. But the lead again only lasted through another Aaburn drive that went from the kickoff to a score in a little over five minutes. As the fourth period began, Tech was trailing, 21-23. Early in the final period, Lothridge fumbled and Auburn claimed if at the Tech 41, and the Tigers added a field goal after being halted at the Tech 24 to make it 21-26. Woodall, the Au­burn kicking specialist encored the play eight minutes later after a Tech gamble on fourth down had failed and the Tigers drove to the Tech six before they were forced to kick the points that made the final score 21-29.

EDITORIAL—THE TED DAVIS CASE

TWO YEARS AGO in the Tech-Alabama game in Birmingham, there occurred the so-called Graning-Holt incident in which an Alabama player damaged a Tech player in the heat of battle. In our editorial pages, we took notice of the inci­dent and deplored it with very strong prose. In this year's Auburn-Tech game, the shoe suddenly came up on the other foot. And in this case, we deplore such conduct just as strenuously.

Ted Davis, a friend of ours and an exceptionally talented and determined football player, kicked Auburn halfback David Rawson in the face during the fourth quarter of action during the game eventually won by Auburn. The officials saw this one and Davis was ejected from the game and Tech was penalized 15 yards. A review of the film con­vinced Tech coaches that one of their best football players was guilty of the infraction.

On Monday morning in his own painful but honest prose, Ted Davis summed the thing up — "I have had two nights and a day to think about what I did in the football game with Auburn Saturday. I have decided that I should face up to what I did wrong and make this public statement.

"In a moment of anger Saturday afternoon I kicked at an Auburn football player and for that violation of the rules I was put out of the game. I read this morning where the Auburn doctor said my kick did not for sure result in the subsequent hospitalization of that player, that his injury could have resulted from hard tackles he received in the game, but that in no way lessens my guilt.

"I know that it means little to say now that I am sorry it happened, but no words can express how truly sorry I am.

"I know that what I have done was not only wrong on

the football field, but also it violated every standard that Coach Dodd sets for his football players. To save him the embarrassment of kicking me off the football squad I would like to leave it of my own accord as I know that I do not deserve to be on it now.

"I am sorry that I have disgraced Georgia Tech as well as my teammates and the coaching staff. I hope that they will forgive me.

"And most of all, of course I hope that David Rawson will try to forgive this terrible thing I did in anger.

"I pray that God will help me to control my emotions in the future."

Coach Dodd, after hearing of Ted's public statement, accepted the resignation with these words: "All of us at one time or another do things that we are ashamed of, but few of us have the misfortune to make our mistakes with 53,000 people looking on. Although, of course, I cannot condone what Ted did in the football game Saturday and like all of us at Georgia Tech I am most sorry it happened, I am proud of Ted this morning that he had the courage to face his mistake publicly."

Davis, a senior Industrial Engineering student with a 2.6 overall point average (3.3 last quarter) will remain in school on scholarship to graduate with his class in June.

The reaction from the Auburn team and coaching staff to the incident was well-mannered as expected. The apology was accepted although the Auburn folks pointed out that the incident was closed as far as they were concerned.

The difference between the two seemingly similar inci­dents should be obvious in the actions of the principals after the fact. Ted Davis felt that he had to take this step in order to atone for his mistake. The fact that he did is more to his credit than any of his achievements as an athlete.

Twelve Tech graduate students get NASA grants

TWELVE additional students at Georgia Tech have been awarded National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) training grants, according to Mario J. Goglia, dean of the Graduate Division.

This brings the total number of NASA fellows at Georgia Tech to 22. Ten Tech students received fellowships when NASA originated the program in 1962.

Goglia said that 88 colleges and univer­sities were selected by NASA to receive the training grants for the academic year 1963-64. Grants go to predoctoral trainees who have chosen a graduate study research pro­gram that is space oriented.

According to NASA, the purpose of the grants is to help achieve the long range objectives of the national space program and to meet the nation's future needs for highly trained scientists and engineers. These skills are in short supply today and will be needed in increasing numbers over the next decade.

NASA said that Georgia Tech and the other participating schools were selected not only because they have doctoral programs in space related science and engineering, but also because of their willingness to undertake a strengthening of programs.

Tech's 12 new grantees were selected by the school and will enter the program this September. The number at each university varies from two to 15, depending on the number and quality of doctoral programs available in space-related areas, adequacy of facilities and extent of participation in other NASA programs. Recipients are as­sured three years of graduate study pro­viding they maintain satisfactory records.

Tech's new NASA fellows, with current residences and major fields of study, are: Jerry Allen Sills, Atlanta, Aerodynamics; Robert Lee Stoy, Jr., McLean, Va., Aero-thermodynamics; John Holmes Hall, Abbe­ville, S. C , Chemistry; Burgess J. A. Cooke, Atlanta, Chemistry; Louis J. Padulo, Jr., Jersey City, N. L, Systems Engineering; Robert David Shults, Atlanta, Electrical Engineering; John Palmer Anderson, At­lanta, Engineering Mechanics; Wilber J. Stiles, Decatur, Ga., Mathematics; Charles E. Willbanks, Lavonia, Ga., Mechanical Engineering; S. H. Byrne, Jr., Blacksburg, Va., Mechanical Engineering; Albert C. Holt, Jacksonville, Fla., Physics; and Ronald S. Woodard, Fitzgerald, Ga., Physics.

The NASA training project started in 1962 as one phase of a broad program by the civilian space agency involving participa­tion by the nation's colleges and universities in research and development in space. Ad­ministration of the training program is under the Office of Grants and Research Contracts, NASA Headquarters.

Tech unit eyes scientific resources THE IMPORTANT scientific resources of the State of Georgia are described in a report released by Tech's Industrial Development Division. The report—Directory of Scientific Resources in Georgia, 1962-1963—identifies the capabilities of 93 industrial firms, 115 consulting firms, 30 government laboratories, and 71 academic units.

Partly an outgrowth of the division's work for the Georgia Aeronautics and Space Ad­ministration, the directory covers all areas of scientific investigation in the state except

22 TECH ALUMNUS

medicine, social science, business, and eco­nomics. It outlines research activities rang­ing from atmosphere and space physics to kaoline processing and from textile applica­tions to pesticide pollution of surface and ground waters.

Over 600 scientists and 500 technicians and assistants are employed in the research and development laboratories of the indus­trial firms listed in the directory. Some of the firms perform research for outsiders but 75 per cent of them concentrate on the development of their own products and pro­cesses.

The majority of the consulting engineers listed offer services related to four fields of engineering — architectural, civil, elec­trical, and mechanical. But consultants are also available in a wide variety of other technological fields including aeronautical, chemical, industrial, and safety engineering.

According to the report, government re­search in Georgia (excluding medicine) is still predominately agricultural. Although the Agricultural Experiment Stations of the University of Georgia do the majority of the work, over half of the other government installations in the state also conduct some type of agricultural research.

Seven academic institutions in Georgia maintain facilities for scientific research. Concentrated in the Atlanta-Athens area, they include the resources of four major universities all offering graduate degrees and supporting extensive research programs. Listings in the directory are for academic departments, laboratories, and experiment stations.

New England Life agent Dave Bell, Universi ty of Vermont ' 59 , discusses a "Savings fo r Success" insurance program with cl ients David and Aline Shader.

WHO EVER SOLD A MILLION DOLLARS OF LIFE INSURANCE-IN ONE Y E A R - I N BURLINGTON, VERMONT?

Dave Bell did. And a handful of others, over the years. Selling a million is excellent production in New York or Chicago. In Burlington it's exceptional, particularly when accomplished by a man in his first year in the business.

Extraordinary salesman? Yes and no. Dave's a like­able, unassuming kind of guy whose greatest assets are enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. He's a college graduate, to be sure, and was an officer in the Army Rangers before joining New England Life's Burlington agency. Such bright young men starting bright new careers have been known to respond to supervision as

Mickey Mantle might respond to batting tips. But Dave Bell listened and learned, tried techniques

he doubted could work, found they did, and came back for more. He sold no big pension or business cases that first year. He did bring a measure of financial security to 132 families, of which the Shaders, above, are typical.

Could you be another Dave Bell? The important ingredients, as you've seen, are intelligence, warmth, ambition and the training and support of a good com­pany. If you have the first three, you're eligible for the fourth. Look into it. Write Vice President John Barker, Jr., 501 Boylston Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02117.

WHO DOES THE THINKING FOR THINKING MACHINES?

Even though we didn't invent it, we at American Oil use the computer so extensively in Linear Programming that we often think of it as "our baby." And as such it must be spoon-fed known data by experts in order to come up with the answers to a myriad of refinery operation problems.

One of the experts at American Oil who helps the thinking machine think is Leonard Tenner, 24, a graduate Chemical Engi­neer from M.I .T. His current assignment: prepare a mathematical model covering the manufacture of gasoline, home fuel and jet fuel from crude oil.

The fact that many gifted and earnest young men like Len Tenner are finding challenging careers at American Oil could have special meaning for you. American Oil offers a wide range of new research opportunities for: Chemists—analytical, electrochemical, physical, and organic; Engineers—chemical, mechanical, and metal­lurgical; Masters in Business Administration with an engineering (preferably chemical) or science background; Mathematicians; Physicists.

PROVIDER He's many miles from the nearest General Motors p l an t . . . but he's helping to build a GM car, just as surely as the man in Flint putting a door handle on a Chevy. He works for a General Motors supplier, one of the 30,000 com­panies which provide GM plants with everything from solenoids to soap, light bulbs to landscaping, rubber to razor blades.

For par ts , materials , supplies and service, General Motors paid out $6,701,000,000 in 1962 . . . more than 45 cents of every sales dollar. GM suppliers come in all types and sizes. Some are large and well known, but about three-quarters employ fewer than 100 people. More than 90 per cent have fewer than 500 employes. Of course, many that started small have grown larger working with GM and other customers.

What is asked of these good providers? Prompt delivery of needed products, high quality and competitive prices. Suppliers who have filled tha t bill have enjoyed a long and pleasant relationship. These suppliers, and their thousands of employes, are an important part of the success of the GM team.
