CALL OF THE EAGLE By BEN MOON

VJaptain John W. Young, USN, has been selected to receive the highest honor Georgia Tech can bestow upon an alumnus, the Alumni Distinguished Service Award. It is the 37th year the award has been made.

As the accompanying citation states, the award is in recognition of "outstanding personal service to the Georgia Institute of Technology and to the world it serves." Young joins a long list of Tech men who have meant much to the school through the years.

In a day when increasing numbers of pilots view flying as a business, John Young stands out as a man who loves the call of the eagle. He is a man in the tradition of the great airmen of our history who have tamed the skies to the role of docile servant for the benefit of the average person. But no matter how familiar and safe flying becomes, men such as Young will always feel an exultant oneness with the space above this planet.

Born in San Francisco, Young grew up in Orlando, Florida and received the B.S. in Aeronautical Engineering at Georgia Tech in 1952. During his undergraduate days he was Cadet Commander of the Naval ROTC unit and a brilliant scholar. Upon graduation he became a naval aviator, advancing to test pilot in 1959. While testing the "Phantom" jet he stood it on its tail, pulled out the stops and set world records for climbing to 3,000- and 25,000-meter altitudes.

In 1962 Young joined NASA as an astronaut, flying with Gus Grissom on the first manned Gemini flight in March of 1965. In July of 1966 he was command pilot of Gemini 10, and with Michael Collins proved that a spacecraft piloted by a human being could locate, dock with, and maneuver with another vehicle in space.

As command module pilot of Apollo 10 in May of 1969, Young helped prove the reliability of the lunar landing craft prior to its first manned landing on the moon during the next Apollo mission.

Then in 1972 John Young, as Commander of Apollo 16, became one of the select few human beings to have set foot on the moon. On April 16

he, Thomas K. Mattingly II and Charles M. Duke, Jr. embarked for the moon, to return on April 27 after having accomplished the first exploration of the lunar highlands, the most rugged terrain yet encountered on the moon. Young and Duke stayed longest of any astronauts on the lunar surface, 71 hours and 14 minutes; conducted experiments that will for years yield invaluable information about the birth, nature, and possible future of our own planet as well as the moon; and brought back more lunar material for later study than had any previous flight. Ironically, television coverage of Apollo 16 was less than that for earlier flights. In an election year, the television networks were having to save much of their limited public service time for the upcoming conventions and general election. And by all indications the general public was becoming blase about space shots. That anyone could accept such a miracle, even a repeat performance, almost as a matter of routine!

John Young has since been named backup commander for the last of the moon landings currently planned, Apollo 17. With that mission Young will have served as actual or backup crew member of eight space flights in the Gemini and Apollo programs, making him one of this country's most experienced astronauts.

John Young is perhaps a symbol of the many men and women who, through their contributions to the United States Man in Space program, have given this civilization more than it will understand or appreciate for many years. Most of them are not obvious heroes in the sense of the men who bet their lives that those human creations of metal and thunder will hold together through more than 248,000 nautical miles of space. Nor would it be adequate to term them quiet, daily heroes in the sense than many ordinary citizens are. As a group they have attained greater heights and have endured greater frustrations than have their contemporaries in most other fields of effort.

the greatest convergence of technological talent this nation is apt to see in this century. The awesome complexity of the mission called forth the most advanced managerial wizardry ever applied to a single human endeavor. Acting as an economic stimulus much as a benign war yet offering constructive and multiplying economic influence, serving as a national goal and a point of pride to any American with even half understanding of its significance, yielding "spinoff" benefits to such diverse activities as heart surgery, the Man in Space program is impossible to assess in its entire effect. Indeed, the benefits are still coming in. It is an unfortunate footnote to history that this nation is presently allowing its major technological contribution to human civilization to be a one-shot, grandstand play rather than a continuing, sustained effort with cumulative gifts to the knowledge and skill possessed by mankind. There is a value to a scientist or engineer just being active, as indicated in Dr. Earl McDaniels'

essay; like geographic explorers of history, they can never anticipate when a search for a Fountain of Youth or a direct sea route to India will result in discoveries that will change the world. We can only hope that the leaders of this nation will continue in some way the unparalleled opportunity for its men of adventure, its men of exploration, to do what they can to refine this civilization.•

Summer 1972

U r. Ferdinand Katz Levy is a tall, lanky, pleasant man with well-defined ideas for advancing Georgia Tech's largest degree-granting program and youngest college.

The College of Industrial Management will long bear the marks of Dr. Sherman Dallas, who guided it through a decade of development into a full-fledged college. As always, however, there is room for his successor to make improvements and further advancements.

"We have a good faculty," notes Dean Levy, "but we're going to make it better." He would like to see increasing faculty involvement in community service as well. His formula for developing the college involves several elements, only one of which is the faculty.

Another element is, of course, s t u d e n t s -recruiting more outstanding students and increasing the number of graduate students. "We will try to appeal to women and to minority students through such means as the dual-degree programs with Agnes Scott, Sweetbriar, and the Atlanta University complex."

The third major key to increasing the influence and reputation of Tech's I.M. college is research, both government and private. Consulting, he feels, is a good potential source of research topics; in fact, "consulting should lead to research ideas and professional papers. I just don't believe in pedestrian consulting, and we will not encourage such. A professor's time should be considered more valuable than that, and shouldn't be wasted.

"Actual businesses should be important sources of research problems, and here in Atlanta we have the tremendous advantage of a nearby major business center. It's the marketing hub of the Southeast, and for that reason marketing should be one of our strongest fields. Finance is also one of my favorite areas personally. I want the Atlanta business community to come to

ECH'S ACADEMIC Levy: College of

Georgia Tech whenever they have a problem they need solved."

Dean Levy also sees continuing education as a means of becoming more involved with the local business community. "Degrees earned off campus are being seriously contemplated at many universities. Education is expensive, both in terms of direct cost and in terms of lost wages. It's being increasingly viewed as a continuing activity throughout a person's life while he works at earning a living."

He plans to build the college's reputation on the M.S. degree, but will most definitely not downgrade the B.S. With outstanding faculty and graduate students, the undergraduate program can't help but reap benefits. "And there's nothing sacred about taking four years to earn a bachelor's degree —it could possibly even be cut to three years because of the increasing quality of high school education. That would make it possible to award the professional M.S. within four or live years."

In addition, Dr. Levy anticipates getting involved with universities in other countries, including those of emerging nations. This would include increasing exchanges of students and faculty between Georgia Tech and universities overseas, such as that Dr. Levy participates in with the University of Lagos, Nigeria. He has spent the latter part of the summer in Nigeria as part of a continuing project to develop a graduate program there. "Most people don't realize that Nigeria is the tenth largest nation on earth, and is industrially the richest nation in Africa. They make almost everything they use. Lagos is a huge city with traffic problems much like our own." Students and faculty would learn much from the problems of a developing nation, and could offer much to their growing institutions.

The importance of liberal arts will be


RIUMVIRATE Industrial Management

emphasized increasingly under the Levy administration, particularly in cooperation with Georgia State University. "It's critically important for a manager to be able to express himself and to have a broad range of understanding." As another basic educational philosophy, Dr. Levy is opposed to the proliferation of degrees.

In the running of the college, he believes strongly that student advice should be sought "whether it is heeded or not. They have a quite legitimate interest in the school, and it doesn't cost to listen."

Dr. Levy isn't exactly a stranger to Georgia Tech; his brother, a lawyer, received his degree from Tech in industrial management during the early forties, and he has a niece who will be a sophomore next year. Levy himself is from New Orleans, and received his bachelor's and master's degrees from Tulane. He received his Ph.D. from Carnegie Institute of Technology. Prior to studying toward the doctorate, however, Levy worked seven years as a plant manager with Lengsfield Brothers. Inc. in New Orleans — he isn't just a pure theorist. His teaching experience has been broad — Rice, Texas Southern, Stanford. Carnegie Tech, and Tulane; as has been his consulting experience —law firms, financial advisory services, savings and loan associations, congressional committees, aircraft firms, food manufacturers.

Dr. Levy and his wife, the former Marjorie Marx of New Orleans, have two children, James, 13, and Lylian, 11.

In the years to come Dr. Levy sees people at Tech working hard to achieve new levels of excellence; "Dr. Pettit is tough, and he has high standards." There can be no doubt that Dr. Ferdinand Katz Levy will lead the College of Industrial Management to meet those standards with room to spare.rj

Stelson: Engineering College I ' m really enthusiastic about the potentialities here at Tech. With Dr. Pettit we have the best team in the country."

With these words Dr. Thomas E. Stelson hitches forward in his chair and begins to tell why he believes that, given time, Georgia Tech can be the number one engineering college in the world by anyone's rating system. As Tech's Dean of Engineering for only one year, he has already been at the center of some of the most basic changes the campus has seen in years.

Tom Stelson grew up on university campuses —was born on one, in fact, that of the State University of Iowa where his father was a graduate student at the time. His father is now professor of mathematics at Michigan State. He got an early start in the world of academe, receiving his B.S. at 20 and his doctorate at 23; by the time he was 28 he was head of the civil engineering department at Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh, where he had received his doctorate.

Fourteen years later he was in a "cozy situation" at Carnegie Tech, with a position secure beyond question and with some $40,000 in tuition benefits for his children. But he was solving all of the same problems over and over again, and began to search for more challenge. As Dean of Engineering at Georgia Tech he has found it.

Soon after his arrival Stelson was involved in a decision whether to abandon the program in textiles or to build it. The A. French Textile School had only three Ph.D.s on its faculty, two of whom were near retirement. Today there is a total of 12, including such nationally known men as Lundberg'from Clemson and Krieston from Princeton, and Tech is committed to making its textiles school the leader in the field.

Other advancements have occurred swiftly. Ceramic engineering has a proposal for a Ph.D. program; architecture has

formed a new four-plus-two B.S.-M.S. degree program to replace the old five-year B.S. program; civil engineering is growing rapidly, especially in environmental engineering; mechanical engineering is expanding into several exciting new areas; chemical engineering is becoming increasingly involved in bioengineering; nuclear engineering, formerly granting degrees at the graduate level only, has a new undergraduate degree program; industrial and systems engineering has the largest program of its kind in the country, and has recently initiated its new program entitled Bachelor of Engineering Economic Systems. Even aerospace engineering, though having suffered severe problems and retrenchments, has a good future. Research proposals in the College of Engineering and grant money are both up 50 percent.

"Systematically, unit by unit, we are building. With planning, time and work, Tech will be the best engineering college in the world. We are the only major engineering college in the country today adding large numbers of new faculty, and our reputation has already come up several notches. We are becoming more and more a finishing program; the dual degree participants have increased from six to twelve schools, we are negotiating with fifty more, and we plan a total of thirty schools. We are now the number one producer of women engineers, and within two years we will be graduating more black engineers than any school in the country. Our 3-2 dual degree program with the Atlanta University Complex has been established and operated without any federal money whatever."

Within ten years, he feels, Tech will be unexcelled in the field of engineering education. "The faculty is a critical element, and one problem in obtaining faculty is the extremely weak state retirement system. It's fine for those who retire here, but it's

A The Georgia Tech Alumnus

\

an impediment to mobility. To expand its influence and reputation Tech must export people.

"Two things Tech has going for it, however, are its size — it's bigger than M.I.T. or Stanford's engineering program — and its rich diversity. We have developed 20 multi-disciplinary appointments in such areas as bio. energy, plastics, urban, computer, education, and environmental engineering. As soon as reports are in, 12 more will be ready when we can initiate them. Southern Tech is unique in adding a complete spectrum, a rich variety that such schools as M.I.T. and Stanford don't have; it's among the top ten technical institutes in the country."

Dean Stelson follows a policy of open information in his organization, holding meetings twice a month with his school directors to share administrative and financial information. Through the years as department head he stayed in contact with teaching and research, teaching at least one class per quarter.

He often took his class in hydraulic engineering on boating trips to demonstrate first-hand how water behaves in a river. And the trips were anything but work to Stelson. He is an outdoors enthusiast, active in camping, fishing, hiking, gardening and conservation work. His views on conservation are interesting. "I

believe sensible construction upgrades the environment. A lot of the present uproar about the environment is irrational, and a lot of the proposals aren't founded on technical information. It's no sin to cut a tree, for instance; often if it's not done the environment is actually degraded."

Stelson is also involved heavily in church work, scouting, and work with civic groups, deriving pleasure from "getting something accomplished." He is the only engineer on the U.S.A. Task Force on the Future of Mankind and the Role of the Christian Church in a World of Science-Based Technology, co-sponsored by the National Council of Churches and Union Theological Seminary. Among the other 30 members are such fascinating persons as Margaret Meade and Roger Shinn.

Mrs. Stelson is the former Connie Semon, a high school friend. Her father, Waldo Semon, is retired director of research for Goodrich, holding about 300 patents including one for the development of polyvinylchloride and one for the development of synthetic rubber. Their oldest son is studying in Vienna, the next is an engineering student at Stanford, and the third son is entering Georgia Tech in the fall of 72 as a "Mouse" (Joint Enrollment Program with High Schools). They have a daughter in the ninth grade at Riverwood in Atlanta.

No one will deny that Tom Stelson has ruffled some feathers in the short time he has been here, but even those who disagree with him will admit that he is making some important strides for Georgia Tech. He is a dedicated, hard-working, enthusiastic man with a vision for the future of the engineering college. He is a man of diverse interests and activities. And he is a vital member of Joe Pettit's "best team in the country," a team that will make itself heard throughout the world in years to come. Keep listening. [~J

Summer 1972

D, 'r. Henry S. Valk, Dean of Tech's General College since October 1, 1970, was born in Washington, D.C. and was "raised on government." He attended George Washington University, first meeting many of the nation's top scientists as an undergraduate while standing in line for tickets to the Library of Congress concert series. His mother, a government employee, counseled him to work with the National Science Foundation in Washington during the summer prior to commencing study for his Ph.D. at Washington University in St. Louis. He has been associated with NSF continually since, both as a professional staff member and as a consultant.

During that summer of 1957 Valk served as an assistant program director with the NSF —"in touch with mundane aspects such as money; from the government side I was able to see the efforts scientists make to obtain money for students and research. It was an eye-opener to the real importance of an individual faculty member worrying about the responsibilities of administration. As times get tighter, graduate students and younger faculty members must provide more and more backup in attempts to obtain research and study grants. It's a debt they owe to the administration."

Dr. Valk feels that young professors should early in their career serve in some administrative capacity in a school or the federal government. Just in the matter of applying for research grants they would get some feel for the differences involved in the various proposals and the documentation needs of the granting agencies. Of greater value, however, would be the understanding they would gain of the importance of the working scientist getting involved in the process.

"Science and Engineering research is so expensive that it can't be carried out solely on institutional funds. That's where the

General College foundations and the government come in. And with the acceptance of support, the faculty member also accepts the responsibility that his work will fit the needs of the supporter. That's the essence of his accountability, so to speak. As for the dean, he can directly influence proposals to put forth the best possible case for the proposed project."

And what of Dean Valk's goals for the General College?

"Cross-fertilization is one of my goals," is the response. "Make students aware of their alternative opportunities by getting away from a straight technical emphasis and going toward the concept of a technological university without, of course, losing sight of Georgia Tech's primary goal of professional education."

"The General College perhaps might be more aptly designated the 'College of Sciences and Humanities. '" With degree-granting schools of applied biology, chemistry, geophysical sciences, information and computer science, mathematics, physics, and psychology; and with five nondegree-granting departments of English, modern languages, music, physical training, and social sciences; and three ROTC departments of Air Force aerospace studies, military science, and naval science, "it may be described as that part of Georgia Tech where the 'two cultures' meet."

"One of the principal objectives of the General College is and always has been that of providing the student with a thorough knowledge of those fundamental subjects without which a technological education becomes a shallow experience so limited in its resources as to be useless in meeting any but the most immediate needs. It is, of course, this emphasis on basic subject matter which gives the student versatility and prepares him to attack and solve not just the problems of today but those of the future. While technological


challenges may change from year to year, the basic education required to meet these challenges does not. In the words of John W. Gardner, former Secretary of HEW, 'Nothing contributes more damagingly to the unemployment of educated talent than rigid specialization and rigid attitudes supporting this specialization. The future is necessarily hazardous for the individual who trains himself to do a specific job, receives an advanced degree for that line of work, and believes that society owes him a living doing it. '"

While retaining the same objectives, the General College has significantly changed the curriculum and its manner of presentation. "There has been a growing emphasis on the need to balance substantial discipline-oriented content with flexibility for the student to achieve his own educational goals. This has led to an increase-in the number of free electives for undergraduate majors, and in the opportunities for these students to have a greater exposure to the humanities and the social sciences.

Dr. Valk refers to a statement in the first catalog of Georgia Tech, published in 1885: "The School offers an education of high grade, founded on mathematics, the English language, the physical sciences, and drawing, while it gives such familiarity with some industrial pursuit as will enable the student to earn a living." "It is this recognition which distinguishes a technological institute from a trade school," he feels. "It is this background of broad-based education that has given Georgia Tech students their record of success."

A broad education is of value on the persona] plane as well, according to Valk. "There's a need for people in science and mathematics to go to opposite poles of creativity as relaxation." And he does; the Valks share a serious interest in music, Dr. Valk playing the violin and viola and

Mrs. Valk playing the oboe and violin. "It's very important in our lives, our chief avocation, even though there's increasingly less time to pursue it nowadays." Mrs. Valk, formerly Gillian Wedderburn from near Newcastle in northern England, also shares his interest in mathematics. She was a graduate student in computer science at the University of Nebraska when they met. "I remember her birthday because it's the same as Beethoven's," smiles Dean Valk.

A man of broad interests, a man of humor, a man with well-defined ideas for the future of his college —Dr. Henry S. Valk is a strong element in the administrative team that will lead Georgia Tech into a bright future.rj

Summer 1972

The Importance of Basic by Earl W. McDaniel

It appears that the United States is losing its position of world leadership in a number of vital areas, and that we may fail to keep ourselves in a position to solve important problems that will confront us in the future. The purpose of this note is to attempt to make a case for my belief that one of the most effective steps that we can take to reverse this trend may be to increase our present level of basic research in the sciences back to the level at which we operated in the mid-1960's*

From the end of World War II until the late 1960's, a large fraction of our basic research, particularly in physics and chemistry, was supported by defense agencies such as the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research and the Office of Naval Research. Their support was crucial in the United States' maintaining the world-wide supremacy in science that we had gained by about 1938. However, in 1969 a bill was passed by Congress as an economy measure (the "Mansfield Amendment") that prohibited the continuation of this support except in cases where the research in question could be shown to be directly relevant to the military mission of the agency. Other federal agencies, such as the National Science Foundation, were not given sufficient additional funds to allow them to finance those research projects which had to be terminated. The restriction on the support of basic research by the defense agencies has recently been somewhat relaxed, and I believe that this more liberal policy will be immeasurably valuable in providing a "spin-off" that will serve to ameliorate our social problems while keeping our nation strong.

*A similar view was expressed by General James M. Gavin in a taped interview shown on local television on May 28. 1972.

10 \

However, basic research at present is still inadequately supported, and I shall try to show areas in which it would be to our advantage to restore the former level of support.

ECONOMICS. It seens to me that our national ability to compete worldwide in the economic sense depends on factors which include the following: • the presence of a large work force that

possesses unique skills; • the willingness of this work force to

work diligently and at pay rates that allow our manufacturers to sell products at competitive prices,

• a favored position in physical resources; • a superior educational system

(elementary, secondary, and advanced); • our development of new, sophisticated

industries and products. (Examples of such industries that we have already developed are the solid-state electronics and computer industries.) Up to recent times these factors worked

in our favor, but this is no longer the case with the first four. Several other nations, such as Japan and West Germany, have large work forces that are as skilled as ours in many important industries, and they turn out products that cost less than ours. Because of the development of natural resources in other countries and the depletion of our own resources, we are no longer in as favorable a position as we have been in the past. In addition, we can no longer claim that our educational system is superior to those of other countries such as the USSR. Hence, it appears to me that we must pay close attention to the last factor above, and we must make certain that we excel.

Our development of new, sophisticated industries and products admittedly

(continued on page 12)


Research to the United States School Of Physics-

The Importance of Basic Research (continued;

depends on our having a large group of engineers and scientists who are applying basic knowledge to the solution of applied problems, but it also hinges on our continuing to make new, fundamental discoveries in science. We can live off our fat in technological knowledge for the next decade, perhaps, but what about subsequent times? In the intermediate (as opposed to the immediate) future, our ability to develop new industries and products will depend on the information we derive from basic research during the next decade. Furthermore, we must continue to produce researchers who have learned the techniques of basic research and who are thoroughly grounded in the fundamental disciplines of their fields. People of this type to go into industry are essential for the first steps toward practical utilization of the knowledge gained in basic research. We have had an adequate supply of researchers for industry in the past, but unless we continue an active and aggressive program of basic research, we will not have them when we need them in the future.

NATIONAL MORALE. The morale of the citizens of the United States is at a precariously low level. We badly need to be able to point to significant areas where we excel, and here I place emphasis on the non-materialistic aspects of our culture. It is important that we continue to produce great writers, artists, musicians, and philosophers, and I believe that it is equally important that we continue to produce great scientists. During recent t imesfwe have had the lead in fundamental science, a fact that has been a source of pride for the thinking citizens of our country. Furthermore, it has commanded the respect of other nations. This preeminence in basic science has been a priceless cultural asset, but it will be

lost unless we continue an active program in basic research.

MILITARY PREPAREDNESS. During World War II it was largely the phyicists in the United States and England who developed radar, and it was American and European physicists and chemists who gave us nuclear weapons. If radar and nuclear weapons had been developed in enemy countries but not in the United States, we would have lost the war. The people involved in these developments were mainly scientists who had been trained and were working in basic research until they were mobilized to work on applied problems. It is my contention that, had the job been left to applied scientists and engineers, it would not have been done as well and perhaps not done at all. The applied scientist or engineer simply does not usually have the breadth of experience, the fundamental outlook, and the basic information required for such revolutionary advancements in a field.

It appears certain that we will continue to face external threats to our national security in the future, just as we have in the past. Our ability to meet these threats will depend on our development of sophisticated new weapons and countermeasures systems, which in turn will depend to a considerable degree on our capability in basic research.

SOCIALLY SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS. Many today insistently demand that we immediately attack certain problems of great social significance such as air and water pollution, excessive noise, the shortage of food and energy sources, traffic congestion, disease, birth defects, and inadequate housing. What is clearly called for is the assignment of applied scientists and engineers to the solution of the unsolved technical aspects of these problems, and the passage and

12 The Georgia Tech Alumnus

enforcement of legislation to implement the technical remedies. For the long-range solution of some of these problems, however, much additional basic information is needed. We are unlikely to attain satisfactory solutions to the production of vastly increased supplies of food and the development of new energy sources until we learn much more about botany, biology, oceanography, and plasma physics. A former secretary of defense, referring to basic research on photosynthesis once snorted "who cares what makes grass green?" Billions of people should care that now scientists understand the process of food creation through photosynthesis. Key research depended heavily on techniques developed by nuclear physicists. This fact underlines the need for continuing large-scale support of basic research in these areas.

In addition, persons engaged in basic research in these and all other areas of science must ponder how their research might be applicable to socially significant problems. Some of the important answers and techniques may be provided by people who are now engaged in basic research and who will remain preoccupied with basic studies. An example close to home may be relevant here. Several years ago a new kind of apparatus for fundamental research on the transport properties and reactions of ions in gases was developed at Georgia Tech. An industrial organization subsequently took the basic design of this apparatus and developed an instrument capable of detecting and identifying extremely small traces of contaminants (such as insecticides) in air, water, and food. This device, which can detect certain contaminants present to only 1 part in 10", appears to be the most sensitive detector known for many classes of chemicals and is potentially very useful in studies of pollution. It

might never have been developed had it not been for the basic work that preceded it.

A final point to make here is that new problems of great social significance will surely arise to plague us in the future, and we do not necessarily know now what these problems will be or what kinds of research we should now be doing to prepare ourselves to cope with them. The solutions to some are likely to hinge on things that we can learn in years to come in basic research performed for its own sake and not to provide answers to immediate problems. And research in a given field often has unpredictable value in another field far removed. Surely one of the greatest advances in medicine came with the use of X-rays for medical diagnosis and treatment. However, X-rays were not discovered by medical researchers who were seeking a new tool for clinical practice. They were discovered in 1895 by a physicist who was engaged in fundamental research on electrical discharges in gases ami who was not in the slightest degree concerned with medical problems. How long might we have had to wait for the discovery of X-rays if, in 1894, a decree had come down from on high to the effect that no more basic research would be supported in the field of electrical discharges in gases because it was not relevant to the solution of socially significant problems?

The point is that we do not necessarily know even from what another major area of research an answer to a problem in another field will come. A lot of pure serendipity is involved in basic scientific breakthroughs, fortunate accidents that won't happen unless the trained researcher is actively stirring things around and observing the results. If basic research must be justified on the basis of practical benefits to humanity, I rest my case on this fact.JTJ

A coach "has to be demanding" of a piayer, "but I wanl lo bo his friend, too."

Enthusiasm Is the Winning Edge By Jim Schultz

Photos by Deloye Burrell

l\l, I love it." That was Bill Fulcher's quick, to-the-point

response to a question posed by the voice of Georgia Tech football, Al Ciraldo. The question concerned the pressures of opening a Georgia Tech head coaching career on national television against high and mighty Tennessee.

Such a situation might rattle a lesser man, but Fulcher, though he chuckled when he answered, was never more serious. Tech's fifth official fulltime football coach is young (38), dynamic, personable, honest, lucky and enthusiastic. And his attitudes toward his job, his school, his players and his fellow man are contagious. A spirit of controlled optimism reigns at the flats.

Tennessee's Volunteers may wipe out everything good when they invade Grant Field before ABC's coast-to-coast audience Sept. 9, but not likely. Fulcher, even though he said he made a lot of speeches during the spring and summer while he was still undefeated, probably won't have to worry about the demand for his appearances declining. Barring the unforeseen the Yellow Jackets will field a representative team this fall and should be able to hold their own against most anyone on the schedule. The first three games could be telltale; after Tennessee come South Carolina in Atlanta and Michigan State at East Lansing.

Fulcher isn't predicting Tech's 1972 record. He is striving for some other goals. "We're going to get there," he says. "I don't know how long it'll take, but we'll be there. Our objectives are to produce a winning team, to build men, to keep up the Tech image, and to have everyone enjoy it while wehe doing it."

The last objective is a key to Fulcher's approach to coaching and to life. "I think you can demand a lot from football players and still enable them to enjoy the game. I want my players to excel because they

want to do it, not because they feel they have to. We want our players to be able to look back in later years and remember the fun they had here. They're not going to enjoy the wind sprints and grass drills. No one does. But we want the good experiences to outnumber the bad. Of more immediate consequence, the quality of athletes at different schools has become so similar that enthusiasm is often the winning edge."

Okay, so it's work and sweat and sore muscles, but at the same time a fresh mental attitude and a willingness Lo drive yourself just a little bit harder. To accomplish that a coach must realize his players are more than just football robots.

"If a coach is to be successful, especially at Tech. he has to be a motivator," Fulcher explains. "He has to be demanding of his players and he must have their respect if he wants to win. But this isn't enough. I want to have his respect, but I want to be his friend, too. Players are human, and it is a coach's duty to know his players well enough to understand why he might be having a bad day. We are concerned not just with coaching football players. We are dealing with individuals, each of whom is different from the other. We want to help that individual develop his potential, not only as a player, but also as a person."

And to achieve those ideas? A humble, straight-forward, honest approach. Fulcher levels with everybody, players, fellow coaches, alumni, reporters. "You can't get anywhere trying to fool anyone," Fulcher reasons. "People see right through a dishonest person. We'll be truthful when we evaluate players. We'll tell thorn exactly what we expect of them. I believe in telling the truth about things." Sounds simple enough, but it's amazing how many folks don't follow that philosophy. Fulcher does. To the Nth degree.

What about this fall's team? To begin with, it's tutored by a generally new staff.

(continued on page 16) 14

Enthusiasm (continued)

When Fulcher replaced Bud Carson last January he went after Steve Sloan and Maxie Baughan to head up his offense and defense, respectively. It's a tribute to Fulcher that he landed them both within 24 hours. He brought Bud Casey (offense) and Bob Williams (defense) with him from Tampa, secured Rex Dockery from Tennessee to teach the offensive line, and retained Jerry Glanville and Bill Lewis to help on defense. Dick Bestwick stays as freshman coach and Jim Luck as chief scout, while recent Jacket quarterback Jack Williams coaches the offensive backs and Franklin Brooks returns to his alma mater to aid Luck with the scouting and B team.

The coaches are developing a new-look squad (white jersies and shoes, gold helmets and pants) that features Eddie McAshan, Greg Home and Mike Oven on offense and end Brad Bourne, outside linebacker Steve Putnal and safety Gary Faulkner on defense. Quarterback McAshan appears poised to have his best season ever as a senior. Home, a junior, could be the best of a talented running back corps and Oven, a senior tight end, paced the Jacket receivers last fall and was even more improved in the spring. There are other Jackets, of course, you'll hear of before the Dec. 2 finale against Georgia, but the above are already proven performers.

Fulcher plans to blend his own game plan with the Jackets' abilities. "We arrange our tactics as to what our players can do. We take the material, judge their capabilities, then go from there. We don't make them adopt our methods as much as we adopt theirs. I like to keep our opponents guessing by doing the unexpected. We won't have a gambling, reckless offense, but we won't be a four yards and a cloud of dust team either. It'll be more like 40 yards and a cloud of dust," Fulcher said, only partially tongue in cheek.

Who is this man, Fulcher, who has rejuvenated Tech and her followers and who is about to let millions of fans inspect his first public day on the job? William Marcus Fulcher III, known to some as Bill and to others as "Rock," was born to a distinguished Augusta family in February of 1934. He attended Richmond Academy

there and Darlington Prep School in Rome, lettering in football, track and baseball, before entering Tech without a scholarship in 1952. He was elected captain of his freshman team and soon earned a grant-in-aid.

Fulcher, a guard-linebacker, lettered on three straight bowl teams at Tech and went on to be a three-year regular with the Washington Redskins. He'd starl off each season at about 200 pounds and be down to about 175 by the end of the grueling grind, not exactly an effective weight for your usual pro linebacker. There followed what some might term a hodge-podge coaching career. He won enough at Screven County High in Sylvania, Ga., to be selected state Class A coach-of-the-year. He coached at Richmond Academy and then led the Tech freshmen to a 4-0 record in 1963.

The next move was to Waynesboro (Ga.) High School and then back to Tech as a varsity assistant and again as head freshman coach. There was time off for a year in private business, another return to Tech and then south to the University of Florida. Fulcher became Tampa's head coach last season and guided the usually-undermanned Spartans to a 6-5 standard. He wasted no time when athletic director Bobby Dodd summoned him to Tech once more this past winter.

Bill's family—wife Marcelle, daughters Allison and Mary, son Bill or "Rock." and assorted pets —appreciate his position. "I'm a football fan, but not a football widow," Marcelle says. "Bill spends as much time as he can with us." He relaxes by enjoying family activities, by golfing, by playing handball, and the guitar.

Bill Fulcher has made a lot of moves in his relatively brief career. Yet destiny seemed to decree he would reach the stage he has. "This is a lifetime dream fulfilled. The day I chose coaching as a profession I decided Tech was where I wanted to coach. Somehow I always knew I'd be sitling here. I may have taken a couple of wrong turns along the way, but this is the place I've always wanted to be. I'm not sure I could be a good coach anywhere except at Tech."

His Jackets may not have played a game, but Bill Fulcher is already well along the way toward reaching his goal.r_


Steve Sloan (topj was an inspirational spark during the animated spring drills, and the "Maxie hats" sported by Maxie Baughan (bottom, above,) became a rally symbol for the whole campus. The results of their efforts were obvious during the T-Night Game's hard-hitting action.

Your M,

Mr. I. Tucker Callaway produces the Tech diplomas from a large master engraving die. The letters on the die are sunken mirror images.

Lr. I. Tucker Callaway has been engraving and printing Georgia Tech diplomas for sixty years. At 82 he's still at it, putting in a full day as vice president of J. P. Stevens Engraving Co.

Mr. Callaway first started with J. P. Stevens back in 1906 at the age of 16. During the early years, to the best of his memory, the Tech diplomas were printed somewhere up north. In 1912 his-company first engraved and printed the Tech diplomas, and has prepared them ever since. Back in 1912 N. E. Harris was Chairman of the Board of Trustees (which was later dissolved upon formation of the University System of Georgia). David C. Barrow was Chancellor of the University of Georgia (it perhaps rankles a bit to remember that Tech was then a division of the

The engraving of each diploma is a tedious hand operation. The craftsman inks the die, then using his hands rubs excess ink from the surface until it is clean and smooth.

A person standing beside the craftsman carefully (daces and aligns a sheet of sheepskin on the bed, then he pulls a press roller across the sheet to mash it into the "wells" of ink in the letters on the die. The sheepskin picks up a raised impression of each letter.

Sheepskin from Tech

University), and of course Dr. Kenneth G. Matheson was President of Georgia Tech. These signatures all appeared on the 1912 diploma.

Georgia Tech diplomas are still made of genuine sheepskin, just as they were back in 1912 when Mr. Callaway first helped produce them. Many colleges are now printing their diplomas on a fine-quality paper instead of the more expensive and durable sheepskin, and part of the reason is the limited supply of sheepskin. Sheepskins must be ordered a year in advance from England with the proper number and size specified. Stevens has been a long-time customer with their supplier, one reason they are still able to get the number needed.

The production of a diploma,

also the same process as in 1912, takes three days from beginning to end including an entire day for the ink to dry on the engraved portion. First the black lettering is engraved to give a raised surface that can be felt, then the gold seal is engraved in position. The name, degree, Chancellor's and President's signatures, and date are printed in position by a letterpress operation, then each finished diploma is signed by the registrar individually. On graduation day each person's diploma is still handed to him by the president along with a handshake —a touch of individual attention also often missing in the graduation exercises of some huge universities. It's a document handcrafted of finest materials, a proof of highest accomplishment worthy of display.

But if an alumnus.loses his diploma by fire, flood, or other damage, it's not gone forever.. . a replacement can be ordered through the office of the Registrar at cost, which will vary depending upon the year of graduation. Diplomas awarded after 1948 cost $15 to replace; those awarded earlier, a larger size, cost $20. J. P. Stevens keeps the old dies on hand all the way back to 1912, and only has to dig out the proper one and clean it up. The basic design and wording hasn't changed through the years.

And why should it be changed — it's a classic, and it's sort of a nice thought for the freshest graduate that his Tech sheepskin is essentially the same as the ones hanging in the offices of great Tech graduates of past y e a r s . •

The degree, nemo, and date are typeset by hand and individually imprinted on a small platen press. Mrs. Jessie Morgan is also no stranger to Tech: ^he has been printing the diplomas since 1920.

Each diploma is meticulously inspected by Mrs. Louise Pinkerton, also a long-time employee of J. P. Stevens. Any minute flaw is cause for the diploma to be rejected and re-done.

This diploma, printed in 1919, is among those filed by Mr. Callaway •in the event a Tech graduate wishes to have his own replaced. The master dies were retained through the years.

PITTSBURGH On June 7 the Pittsburgh Georgia Tech

Club met at the University Club in Pittsburgh. There were 44 people in attendance; Dr. Pettit, the eighth president of Georgia Tech, was the guest speaker.

The special guests from Tech were Dr. and Mrs. Pettit, Joe Guthridge. Bob Rice, Dr. Stelson, and Steve Wilkerson. At the meeting new officers were elected: President, Jess M. Carroll: 1st. Vice President, William LaRoche; 2nd Vice president, John T. Day; and Secretary-Treasurer, Thomas A. Ochs. In addition to election of new officers, the establishment of a Council of Past Presidents was approved. The council will meet at least once a quarter for the purpose of providing guidance to the current officers of the club. Joe Dillard was appointed chairman of the council until the Council could meet and elect a chairman.

Our second meeting was a cookout at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph K. Dillard. This was the second annual cookout at the Dillards'. Coach Dick Bestwick was the special guest, and 67 alumni, students and parents attended. For this summer meeting we invited high school students from the Pittsburgh area who have been accepted at Tech for the coming fall quarter. We were privileged to have several of the incoming students and parents in attendance.

WASHINGTON D.C. Approximately eighty Tech men and their

ladies gathered at Evans Farm Inn in MacLean, Virginia on Friday. May 26 to welcome Dr. Joseph M. Pettit as the eighth President of Georgia Tech. Dr. Pettit described for the alumni his goals for the future of Georgia Tech and met informally with all. In attendence at the party were the Science Advisor to President Nixon, Dr. Edward E.

Secretary-Treasurer.

WESTERN CAROLINA Over 114 members, guests and friends

met and were entertained by Bobby Dodd on May 12, 1972 at the Charcoal Steak House in Greenville, South Carolina. Coach Dodd was optimistic about the Georgia Tech outlook, but cautioned all that Tech's academic requirements are higher and that, with the great emphasis on pro football careers, is making it harder for Tech to get top prospects. He stated that Tech's new football staff is an outstanding one and predicted a great future for Tech. The Club officers for the Western Carolina Club are: President, Bud Weir, I.M. '54, Greenville; Vice President. Terrell Sovey, I.E. '52, Spartanburg; Secretary, F. Towers Rice, I.M. '53; Treasurer. Gordon Dasher, M.E. '51; and Roll Call Chairman, J. Max Cochran, E.E. '58.

COX ALIVE AND WELL

As I sat in the audience awaiting the Commencement exercises to begin at Saint Andrew's Preparatory School, I perused the program. My surprise was complete as I noted the speaker of the day.

D. Mitchell Cox. Every freshman English student at

Georgia Tech in the late thirties and early forties will surely remember this red-haired, broken-nosed (he boxed his way through the University of Alabama) super professor.

Few teachers have so stimulated and irritated his students. He actually challenged us to believe that English, literature, art and journalism were tougher than math, physics and mechanics!! He was tremendous.

He still is. Now Executive Vice President of the

Pepsi Cola Company in New York City, D. Mitchell Cox still comes on just as strongly and intriguingly as ever.

MARIONETTES ARE REMEMBERED

Re your story on Drama Tech: According to old "Blue Prints," the

Marionettes were at Tech from around the year 1900. I know that when I was at Tech the Marionettes were an established group that travelled with its own orchestra. I find it hard to believe that the Marionettes are "only faintly remembered by alumni and faculty."

Harry Erdberg C.E. '26

•X- * ve

in the article in your Spring 1972 issue, "Twenty-Five Years on a Portable Stage," Andrea Keith Helms says: "The first drama group, the Marionettes of the 1930s and early 1940s, is only faintly remembered by alumni and faculty." To be sure, the article is about the current dramatic club, not about the Marionettes. If it was necessary to mention the Marionettes at all, it was hardly necessary to give the reference a pejorative twist by use of the "faintly remembered" tag. Remembered by whom? Are there still active faculty members who were on the faculty circa 1930? How many alumni of that era were consulted by Ms. Helms? Did she bother to look at the files of The Blue Print and Technique for those years? If so, she would have known that the

Marionettes flourished during the 1920s. My acquaintance with the organization came to an end with my graduation in 1927.

I am sure that, with a much larger student body upon which to draw, girls for female roles, a paid director, other financial assistance and a considerably higher level of sophistication, the drama club of today is vastly superior to the amateurish Marionettes of the 1920s. However, the Marionettes drew good audiences, not only in Atlanta but at other colleges (mostly girls' schools in Georgia and South Carolina) to which they traveled. And. as a prominent campus organization of its day, the 1920's group deserves something better than "faintly remembered."

REMINISCENCES

Please permit me to express my appreciation to you and your staff for your most excellent recent issues. In particular, the Winter 1972 issue, recently received, is full of well-written articles of great interest to me, such as "Via Tubexpress" about my good friend, Bob Carstens; the fine tribute to Bobby Jones by dear old George Griffin; "The End of An Era," Bill Futcher; and of course your always interesting News of the Alumni.

I had the pleasure of playing scrub football with my class-mate Alec and Kid Clay under Coach Heisman, 1907-1911. Alec and I finally made the varsity squad; he finally made his letter by brains alone. I never got in a single game. As I remember it I'd start the season weighing 135 pounds, then I'd drop to 122 pounds for the rest of the season or as long as I lasted. Have known Bobby Dodd for years, and surely wish all luck to Bill Fulcher.

Incidentally, somewhere among my old papers is one of my treasured possessions. One share of stock in Georgia Tech Athletic Association, dated 1910 (by recollection). If I ever run across this. I wonder if you'd like me to send you this relic of the days when Grant Field had only a small wooden grandstand on the West side built solely by student labor; a few bleachers on the East side. When darkness fell during a game, the automobiles parked on the cinder track lit up their prestolites to illuminate the field so the players could better see Heisman's white-washed football.

I am writing with regards to the Spring, 1972, Georgia Tech Alumnus Magazine. Your article "Letters" refers to "Rambling Wreck" and the authors.

I have an autographed copy of "Rambling Wreck from Georgia Tech" —property of Georgia School of Technology—as originally arranged by Mike Greenblatt, 1911. If this was originally song of the Gambolier, then I think you are still mistaken as to the identity of the author. Are you referring to adaptation of "words" to a melody or what? The only name shown on my transcript, handwritten, is Mike Greenblatt.

We received the extra copies of the magazine, also the large copies of the photos. The madam and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your effort in wanting to make two elderly people feel that it is worth while to continue to live the balance of our lives with friends of your kind. Mrs. Fambrough has also returned the "Middler's Mansion" picture and frame. This particular picture and frame was the property of R. H. Lowndes (Puddin). It was given to me by Mrs. Lowndes upon the death of Mr. Lowndes, \vho felt that she had no further use for same after his death. Mrs. Lowndes was a very kind and important friend of our family. She did not live very long after Puddin's death. Mr. Lowndes (Puddin) and I lived many years together alone during the horse and buggy days, and I will have to confess that we as two old fogies proved to be very poor housewives so I made up my mind to get married to my "Volina" my first-love if she would have me. She accepted and here we are for 65 years now, fussing occasionally but not coming to blows.

Billy Fambrough and wife have always, been considered as members of our own family. Mr. Snowden died a victim of suicide so here Mr. Moon you have a short chapter in connection with the Middler's Mansion first occupants. Billy Fambrough and Steve Snowden.

Thanks again. Ben, for your efforts in our behalf. The magazines did not stay very long under my roof as grandchildren grabbed them up as heirlooms.

Mr. Lowndes taught .at Georgia Tech for several years as assistant to Uncle Si Coon in the M.E. department.

Ramblin By BEN L. MOON

Somet imes it seems as though all the great ones are retiring at once.

Southern Tech will go on, we all know, and it will continue to be a fine institution. It's growing and healthy. But it won't be quite the same without Larry Johnson, who nurtured it through its fledgeling years to be leader among technical institutes. Larry came to Tech in 1931; we'll all miss him.

And Textiles will continue to prosper; as Dean Stelson said in his interview, big plans are being made —and instituted—to make Tech the academic authority of the textile world. But Dr. James Taylor, the affable bear of a man who has guided the school through many years to a position of respect in the industry, will leave n very personal void. Personal, for those who know him and worked and studied under him since 1936 will miss him as a leader with a heart.

Then there's Julian Harris, who has brought no small measure of fame to Tech since 1937 through his sculpture all over the South. He's a living refutation to those who would claim that the arts are out of their element at an engineering school. But though "Judy" Harris has retired from teaching and is now Professor Emeritus, it's not really proper to say he's no longer at Tech. You only have to walk over to Fifth Street for a hearty greeting and a pleasant visit. And he's still leaving his mark; the new medal to be presented to recipients of the Alumni Distinguished Service Award has been designed and executed by Judy.

Many more were honored at the spring Faculty Dinner who are well remembered by alumni: James E. Bolton (1923), superintendent of buildings and grounds for the Athletic Association; Sarah Slaughter (1941), Administrative Assistant in AE; Frances M. Norton

(1942), Administrative Assistant in ChE; John R. Vail (1943), Assistant Professor of Mathematics; William R. Metcalfe (1945), Associate Professor of English; Fred Bellinger, Chief of Chemical Sciences and Materials Division, EES; William A. Martin (1946). Associate Professor of Mathematics; Annabelle Bragg (1946), Administrative Assistant in GTRI; Frank B. Wilson (1947), Manager, Bookstore; Eve K. Browning ( 1951), Secretary, ChE; Robert E. Van Guhns (1948), Senior Research Engineer with IDD; Neils Engel (1959), Assistant Professor in ChE; Robert Nelson (1961), Assistant Professor of PT; Raymond K. Flege (1951), Assistant Professor in Textiles; M. M. Coppenger (1960), head of Security; and Charles E. White (1961), barber.

And speaking of old-timers, this issue is the last number of the 50th volume of The Georgia Tech Alumnus magazine. This year has marked the 25th year of the Alumni Roll Call, and the 50th year of the magazine. According to Dress Her in White and Gold the Alumnus was established about 1923 with Albert H. Staton as the first editor, early in the days of the Alumni Association's organization in its present form. Arithmetic will tell you that date disagrees with the numbering of this volume as 50, so one or the other is open to question. The first four issues were published through personal contributions from Mr. Y. Frank Freeman, Coach Alexander, Mr. Joseph Rhodes, and Mr. "Chip" Robert, and Staton put out the magazine subsequently "whenever we had funds enough to publish an issue." That could perhaps explain the discontinuity in the numbering of the volumes.

In 1923 R. J. "Jack" Thiesen became secretary of the Association and editor of the;

magazine, serving until 1951 when Howard Ector assumed the quill. Later the same year Roane Beard became secretary and editor, serving until March of 1953 when Bob Wallace took over the magazine. Under Wallace's direction the Alumnus became nationally respected among alumni publications, and achieved a professional polish comparable to the best consumer magazines. He won over 40 awards for his editorial work on the Alumnus.

In April of 1970 Bob died suddenly of a heart attack, and for several months the present editor struggled to make sense of the operation after walking in cold. John Stuart McKenzio. now president of General Lithographing Company and Bob's long-time design consultant, was invaluable in helping to keep the pieces together until Moon the fledgeling could settle firmly into the saddle. In July of this year, at the American Alumni Council's national convention, the Alumnus was named to receive an award for Best Cover for its Winter 1972 issue (Judy Harris' gate on the Naval Armory). Let's see if we can get another next year.

One thing that has made this editor's job easier in the two years since May 1970 is the suggestions for articles other people submit. The article on Tech sheepskins in this issue was suggested by Mark Kelly (IM 70) in the Registrar's office; Mark was also a big help in the article on Dave Garrett. Roane Beard suggested the one on Roy Richards, which was one of the most fun pieces I've done. Ed Garrett, head of the Tech Photo Lab, suggested this issue's cover. The editor can't be everywhere, nor can he accept every suggestion, but they are a real help. What's yours?|~j
