lis AN EXPRESSION

OF CONCERN ALTHOUGH an educational institution may

not be a business in the usual sense, in i that it cannot demonstrate its decree of

success or failure through a profit and loss statement, it is to a great degree oriented along a financial axis. The velocity of the forward or backward movement along this axis is dependent upon both the amount of

BY EDWIN D. HARRISON financial support and the nature and COStl of those overwhelming, unusual needs that crop up from time to time in the operation of a quality institution of higher learning. At the same time, the institution must always conduct its affairs so that the financial resources avail-ahle to it are never wasted or used in such a way as to dilute its energy or creativity and Photographed by Bill Sumits, Jr.

EXPRESSION—cont.

thus its contributions to society. An awareness of these factors

underlies the following paragraphs of this report. This awareness should not be construed as either a lack of confi­dence in the future or a criticism of the past. Rather, this is an honest expression of concern, and sometimes frustration, over the achievements of our institution when compared with its existing potentials.

We at Georgia Tech feel that it is a better-than-good school in many areas and a great school in some. But in order that we may develop the true, all-encompassing quality tech­nological institution this State de­serves, there must be implanted in the minds of Georgia's citizens, General Assembly, the Board of Regents a firm belief that Georgia Tech merits the increased support required if our ex­isting potentials are ever to become realities.

The full commitment from these sources will repay the State its invest­ment many times over in terms of economic and industrial growth. In previous annual reports, in speeches and in conversations with State lead­ers, I have stated many times the vital and important relationship be­tween the increased support of an outstanding technological institution and the rate of economic growth and progress in the State. Although there seems to be general recognition that "industry goes and grows where the brains are," there has not been a full realization of the extent of support required by technological education in order to lend genuine impetus to such a program.

The argument whether the tech­nological university or economic suc­cess comes to an area first is largely academic. However, there is no doubt that the presence of huge educational complexes in two sections of the coun­try spawned industrial and scientific growth in these areas to a degree un­precedented in history. The initiation and development of new industries can never be guaranteed at a pjanned rate. But the probability for increas­ing the rate of .economic growth is much higher if the support of a tech­nological educational center is at an adequate level to provide the caliber of personnel and the operating re­sources needed to enable members of the faculty to undertake the pur­suit of new ideas and techniques.

Tech has shown unusual insight in some areas and could, with more

support, become the outstanding insti­tution in the nation in the develop­ment of certain fields. Information Science is an excellent example of an area in which Tech has pioneered, but because of lack of support we may not realize its full potential and its full impact on the State's economy.

It should be emphasized again and again that the investment of tax reve­nue in the improvement of technologi­cal and scientific education and re­search at Tech is an investment on which monetary returns and economic growth are so astounding that fail­ure to support adequately such a pro­gram actually inhibits the relative progress of Georgia in comparison with some of its more visionary and real­istic neighbors.

Although the State of Georgia has demonstrated unusual insight by plac­ing its resources in support of tech­nological education in one institution, rather than by distributing limited funds among several competing insti­tutions, there still does not appear to be an adequate understanding of the degree of support required for this type of education.

Programs in the areas offered by Georgia Tech require extensive and expensive laboratory facilities, equip­ment, operating funds, and supporting activities. The cost of educating the technological graduate comes high, and there is no escaping the expense involved except to follow the route of second-rate achievement. While I have expressed, on behalf of the institution, our gratitude for the increased sup­port over the years, I feel it imperative to point out that the increased support of higher education has not been limited by any means to the State of Georgia. Other state-supported edu­cational institutions throughout the nation have also improved their lot considerably. Although our relative position has improved, we still do not have the financial ability to com­pete adequately at the undergraduate level. To an even greater extent we are unable to compete at the increas­ingly important and more expensive graduate level.

There have been advancements dur­ing the year which will help the insti­tution move toward becoming the center of technical and scientific ex­cellence which it rightfully deserves. The institution stands now on the verge of this possibility. Through the institution's contribution to technical progress within the State, the assist­ance in the acquisition of new in­dustry, the continued growth and im­

provement in the graduate program, the planning for physical plant growth evidenced by Tech's presentation of "The Bold Future," campus master plan developed by the firm of Perkins & Will, and the continuing interest in and development of an attitude of quality performance, we feel that the long-range future is bright.

Largeness or Quality Whether Tech is to be a large insti­

tution or a quality institution is a decision already made—one which both circumstances and faculty incli­nation wholeheartedly support. Big­ness, for the sake of numbers of stu­dents alone, is not, in our judgment, a reasonable goal for any educational institution. As the proportion of high school graduates capable of profiting from the demanding type of educa­tional program offered by Georgia Tech increases among Georgia's grow­ing population, the institution will necessarily grow. In addition, new technologies and the fantastic expan­sion of knowledge in the engineering, scientific, management, and architec­tural fields will require constant re­vision of our academic programs and possibly reorientation of the emphasis in some of them.

Since by its nature technological education must be expensive, it is felt that admission to the institution should be restricted to those reason­ably well-qualified to profit from at­tendance. This decision has proved to be a sound one and accounts in no small measure for the success of the institution's graduates. A high caliber of student permits a high caliber of teaching and high-level educational achievement. As we have said before, "Quality is our constant goal," and it is our contention that institutional greatness can be achieved only through the combined efforts of students, faculty, and administration working toward this end. If we can offer a limited number of quality pro­grams at the undergraduate and grad­uate level and, at the same time, chal­lenge each student in accordance with his ability, we shall feel that our basic aims are being essentially fulfilled. This statement is not to assert that academic success is a goal in itself. Our faculty recognizes that responsi­bilities to family, church, and country and an understanding of things non­technical are also important to today's college graduates. To a limited extent classroom efforts contribute to this end. However, the overwhelming aca­demic loads required in technological

TECH ALUMNUS

programs restrict the amount of for­mal course work which can be offered in the humanities. This is an area demanding attention.

That our institution seeks quality rather than bigness should not be in­terpreted as a position criticizing in­stitutions with large enrollments. In my own judgment, size in certain types of universities has no bearing on academic quality. I feel that much of the current hue and cry which is generally critical of institutions with large enrollments is not soundly based.

In our own case, however, neither present financial support for the insti­tution nor that anticipated under even ideal conditions would enable Tech to achieve both aims. Tech serves the nation, to be sure, but it is primarily oriented in its contributions to the Southeast, to the eastern United States, and especially to the State of Georgia. With this realization in mind, there no longer exists a need for bigness.

In spite of Tech's relatively low rate of enrollment growth, we again reached record-high figures for enrollment in each of the four quarters of the 1964-65 year. The Summer Quarter of 1964 had an enrollment of 2,808, which was 671 above the total for the pre­vious summer. During the Fall Quar­ter, 1964, the enrollment was 6,931, or 622 more than in the previous year. The average increase for the academic year was 564, or approxi­mately 10 per cent. In his annual re­port, Dr. Paul Weber, Dean of Facul­ties, furnishes considerable interesting statistical information on enrollments. One item of general interest is the fact that the anticipated drop in non­resident freshman enrollment result­ing from the increased non-resident tuition adopted this year did not ma­terialize. As a consequence, there was an overall increase in the size of the freshman class.

Financial Support We can be encouraged in consider­

ing the long-range potential and growth of Georgia Tech by studying its past financial support. Table 1 in­dicates the State of Georgia's finan­cial support of Georgia Tech for the years 1955 through 1965.

It is this support, plus generous contributions from the alumni through the Annual Roll Calls and from in­dustry, business, and foundations through the Joint Tech-Georgia De­velopment Fund and the Georgia Tech Foundation, and the increase in non-

resident fees that have enabled the institution to maintain its position with respect to teaching salaries, al­though a critical inadequacy still exists at the level of full professors. It must be recognized that there are needs other than salary improvements that must be fulfilled. Increased social security contributions, higher work­man's compensation rates, increased utility costs, communications costs, and the higher cost of most items acquired by the institution have com­bined to eliminate a sizable portion of what otherwise would have been a significantly improved financial status for the institution.

The Faculty There is no doubt that Tech's great­

est asset is the overall high caliber of both its teaching and research facul­ties. Neither Tech nor the State of Georgia can afford to allow the loss of such a precious asset—nor can we afford to discourage or dissipate such resources. Our problem remains to hold on to what we have and at the same time produce and attract addi­tional members of equal quality.

Dean of Faculties Paul Weber re­ports a marked improvement in the academic qualifications of the faculty. The number of faculty members hold­ing the Doctor of Philosophy degree increased to 224 from 183 (two years ago this figure was only 159). Fur­thermore, of the 421 professionally ranked people on the faculty, 53 per cent held the doctor's degree as com­pared with less than 50 per cent the previous year.

It is progress of this type that will make possible the slow but steady growth of a high-caliber graduate pro­

gram and the general improvement of teaching at the undergraduate level. A very small decrease in the average number of credit hours taught for equivalent full-time faculty was achieved. Although the average figure remains high when measured against most quality institutions, it has im­proved slowly over the years.

Dr. Weber and I both recognize the necessity for making available to the faculty adequate time for their pro­fessional development and for im­proving their classroom instructional work. Current estimates by competent sources indicate that individuals who specialize in the highly technological fields which make up the Georgia Tech programs must spend from 15 to 45 per cent of their time in study to remain current in their professional fields.

Teaching and Research There are those who would have

you believe that teaching and research are incompatible. I feel very strongly that this, like the case of largeness or greatness, is simply not true. Out­standing teachers and outstanding re­searchers are scarce, just as are indi­viduals bearing such a designation in any other profession. However, there are combinations of ability in many individuals which give them high ca­pabilities in both fields, and occasion­ally one finds a person who is truly outstanding in both. The fact that a teacher undertakes research does not in itself deprive him of an interest in his students. By the same token, the outstanding teacher can simultaneously make significant contributions through his research efforts.

Recognition for the significant re-

search contribution is more easily identifiable and more generally ac­knowledged than that for outstanding teaching. At the present time, the Georgia Tech Chapter of the Society of the Sigma Xi presents the M. A. Ferst Awards annually for those con­tributions to research which are high­ly stimulating to the faculty and which bring valuable recognition to the institution. As a result of a grant from the Union Bag-Camp Paper Corporation, we are now planning to embark on a similar program for the recognition of outstanding teaching at Georgia Tech. Over the next five years this new award will be presented to an individual who has demonstrated outstanding ability as a teacher. This individual may or may not be en­gaged in research, and the means of selection and source of nominations will be determined in the early fall.

The Building Program During the 1964-65 academic year

substantial progress again was made in satisfying the housing require­ments of the institution.

The Chemical Engineering — Ce­ramic Engineering Building was oc­cupied at the end of the Fall Quarter, thus relieving some critical space needs for the two engineering schools and for the Micromeritics Laborato­ries of the Engineering Experiment Station.

Progress on the construction of the Engineering Experiment Station's new Electronics Building has been good, and this $1,100,000 facility should be available by the end of 1965. The ad­ditional 50,000 square feet of space will be utilized immediately by the sponsored research program in elec­tronics.

In last year's report we discussed the receipt of a grant of $1,000,000 from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for the con­struction of the first unit of the Space Science and Technology Cen­ter. Construction has begun, and it is anticipated that the building will be completed by July of 1966. In ad­dition, two other units of the Center (a wing to be added to the Guggen­heim Building and a third unit hous­ing a lecture room-auditorium build­ing complex) are well along in de­sign. The group should be completed and occupied by the spring of 1967.

System, part icipated in the ground­breaking for a new Physics Building in June . This fine new facility should become available early in 1967.

Planning is in the advance stages for an addition to the Radioisotopes and Bioengineering Building, a new Chemistry Building, and an Engi­neering Experiment Station Mater ia ls and Technology Building. A tabula­tion of space needs has been completed and a site selected for the first unit of a Student Activity Center.

The initiation of construction for a married students ' housing project to accommodate 80 couples in effici­ency apar tments will be under­taken in the early fall of 1965. Planning for additional dormitory space is proceeding slowly because of the delay occasioned by the neces­sity for acquiring property to make up the site.

A previously designated amount for the first uni t of the Civil Engineering Building was transferred, with Re­gents' approval, to a sum previously allocated for an addition to the Price Gilbert Memorial Library in order that, with matching federal funds, a $3,000,000 wing to the building could be designed. I t is anticipated that con­struction will be initiated on this wing in Janua ry of 1966. An additional $250,000 was also added to the Li­brary project to provide facilities for the Photographic and Reproduction Laboratory of the Engineering Ex­periment Station.

Capital Outlay The problem of fulfilling require­

ments of capital outlay needs has been mentioned in previous annual reports, but in view of the increas­ingly critical nature of this subject I must discuss it again. Every academic department of the institution and every division of the Engineering Ex­periment Station have unmet equip­ment needs associated with research activities. A minimum additional ex­penditure of $250,000 a year over a five-year period would be needed to provide capital outlay needs now in existence. However, it is not these items which cause the greatest con­cern a t this time. T h e solution to the problem of major capital outlay re­quirements is one which has never been reached in the past and one which must be overcome in the future if institutional planning and institu­tional operation are to have any chance for success.

000. Additional computer equipment will be needed as the teaching of com­puter techniques is expanded to in­clude at least computer familiarization for every student attending the insti­tution.

Other uses of the computer will be made for teaching and research and for the more efficient operation of the institution. Problems of room schedul­ing, student course scheduling, space utilization, institutional accounting, inventory, and other types of records will either have to be programmed through the Rich Electronic Com­puter Center or handled by other types of automated equipment. It is hopefully intended that the Price Gil­bert Memorial Library will be auto­mated to improve its services and use­fulness.

Two additional capital outlay items which cannot possibly be resolved from normal institutional funds are those concerned with specific pieces of property. Georgia Tech should ac­quire as soon as possible the O'Keefe High School property, providing as much lead time as possible to the At­lanta Superintendent of Schools and his office to permit planning and con­struction of an alternate high school. Not only would the additional space provided by the acquisition of O'Keefe be very valuable to Tech, but its pur­chase would also help resolve conflicts created by the movement of large numbers of high school students through the Georgia Tech campus. The O'Keefe High School is now bounded on the east by the north branch of the Atlanta Expressway and on the other three sides by Georgia Tech property.

Some years ago the Georgia State Highway Department erected on the campus a laboratory suitable for use by the Georgia Tech School of Civil Engineering and the Highway De­partment. With the passage of time, the parking of Highway Department trucks and other vehicles on the cam­pus has created an additional park­ing burden on an already-critical area. It would be most expedient to pur­chase this structure from the Highway Department. The expanding needs of the School of Civil Engineering could very effectively utilize all the space in the Highway Building during the next few years while a new C.E. Building is being designed and con­structed. After the completion of the new building, the Highway Laboratory Building could be used by the Engi­

neering Experiment Station, if that were considered the greatest need at the time.

In many previous annual reports, the problems associated with the ac­quisition of land in and adjacent to the present campus have been men­tioned. Although an urban renewal project has been undertaken that will result in the addition of approximately 60 acres to the campus area, this will comprise only two-thirds of the area originally intended to be utilized for campus expansion to the west along North Avenue. It is obvious, then, that additional expansion will have to be undertaken on a continuing basis to provide laboratory and teach­ing facilities in accordance with the 20-year plan prepared by the firm of Perkins & Will.

In early 1965 the Perkins & Will Campus Plan for the Georgia Institute of Technology and financed by the Georgia Tech Foundation was adopted by the City of Atlanta and was en­dorsed by the State Board of Regents, as well as by Institute officials. A de­scription of the plan was widely dis­tributed to interested persons and it received generally enthusiastic en­dorsement from all concerned. The comprehensive master plan produced from this study will permit a logical, systematic implementation of key elements as funds are made available and in such a way as to accomplish the results at the least cost to the State and to the institution.

The fact remains, however, that property owners within the area to be acquired under the plan during the next twenty years will occasionally wish to sell their property to the in­stitution. Without adequate funds, the institution cannot conclude these purchases at the time when it would be most economical to do so. This forces the owners occasionally to transfer property to other individuals whose interest lies in upgrading the property for a different use. By the time of ultimate acquisition by Geor­gia Tech, the cost of upgrading must be borne by the institution. In other instances the owner of a rental prop­erty will find it impossible to acquire a new tenant because of the un­certainty as to the time the property would be acquired by Georgia Tech. The inability to rent the property works a hardship on such property-owners and becomes a source of ill will and misunderstanding.

This section of the annual report demonstrates as much as any other the extreme operational difficulties im­

posed by our inability to undertake long-range planning in connection with urgent capital outlay items.

The Paper Barrier In my report for the year 1963-64,

I recognized the need for improved efficiency in the administrative affairs of the Institute and the growing de­mands for overcoming the cumber­some "paper barrier." Through the generosity of the Georgia Tech Foun­dation and the Georgia Tech National Alumni Association, a grant was made to enable the institution to em­ploy a nationally-respected manage­ment consulting firm to study the ad­ministrative-management organization and activities of the Institute and to recommend necessary steps to over­come existing deficiencies.

At the end of the 1964-65 year, the firm of Booz, Allen & Hamilton had been employed and was deeply in­volved in the study. Close contact has been maintained with the presi­dent's office in order to insure that the decisions will be feasible and ap­plicable within an academic com­munity. Consultants from the firm have met with campus administrators, members of the faculty, the chairman of the Board of Regents, members of the Regents' staff, the incoming Chan­cellor, and prominent alumni. As of the end of this year, I am enthusiastic about the depth and value of the study and feel confident that the recommendations to be forthcoming will prove of extreme value to the institution and can be implemented within a reasonable period of time without disrupting the Institute's operations. I feel that this study, as a supplement to the Institutional Self-Study completed in 1962, will prove to be one of the most important for­ward steps undertaken in recent years.

It should be noted that Tech's un­usual administrative organization can­not be found in any other college or university in America. The wholly technological nature of Georgia Tech is not duplicated in any other public university in America and only par­tially is paralleled by the great private technological universities.

strator of Research, reports that the new Water Resources Center's activi­ties have been limited by lack of staff, funds, and suitable quarters. Never­theless, its accomplishments to date

Some Tec om uter research er ginee s insist that American industry and business are not u \ co iputers to their full a vantage and they blame management apathy

OCTOBER 1965

"In the computer world we are into our second decade of quackery. Don't look so shocked. In any technology that is just fifteen years old and grow­ing like this one there can be no real professionals. We're all quacks to some degree. This is one reason the faith that managers put in so-called computer experts is so often mis­placed."

A. P. Jensen, a senior research engi­neer in Tech's Rich Electronic Com­puter Center, talks straight about the world of computers and businesses

he has known for the past ten years. So does Clarence Miley, a research economist in the Tech Center. Just eight years ago Miley set up the first data processing center for a major petroleum company.

They both are appalled by what they consider the abdication by man­agement of its responsibilities for managing computers and the men that run them. Very few top level man­agers, they say, know anything about computers or are keeping up with the most recent developments in the field.

DIGITAL HERETICS—cont.

"But because no manager wants to be accused of being old-fashioned, a fuddy-duddy, and every manager wants to be envisioned as forward look­ing and dynamic, managers invariably decide that their companies ought to have computers. They usually have no clear idea why, or for what the machine will be used once it is in­stalled. The next mistake managers so often make is to try to hire someone to head the new data processing center at too low a salary to attract a really top man, and then to put this expert at a low level in the organizational hierarchy. He is not only expected

to manage the center, but often to write all the programs himself. In fact, he becomes so involved in the day to day operations of solving problems in one or two narrow areas that he is not able to see the broad computer needs of the company. And since management also does not under­stand these computer needs, the ma­chinery is not used nearly as effec­tively as it might be.

"Thus, too often computers are not used for the jobs that could really make a difference in the company's operation. For instance, many busi­nesses now use computers for handling accounts payable, accounts receivable, etc. (an area of application usually representing about ten per cent of the operating costs) while neglecting high operating cost areas like merchandise control or inventory management where the savings could be consider­ably higher.

"You can exchange a group of clerks for a machine fairly easily with­out changing the basic functioning of the business," Jensen concludes, "but by using computers for more important jobs, many company processes would have to be reorganized."

This, he argues, is the reason top level managers must take the re­sponsibility for the use of computers. Only management knows the full needs of the company. "Computers," the Tech men agree, "can and should be used in virtually all business pro­cesses."

Miley and Jensen are more pessi­mistic when they discuss where and how difficult it is for managers to gain a real understanding of com­puters. Manufacturers' schools are not adequate, they believe, because these give the managers only a little information on one line of machines, whereas what they need is a broad knowledge of machine principles. Yet no university in the United States, to the Tech men's knowledge, offers com­puter management courses—mathe­matical logic and graph theory, yes, but not the management of computers.

They attribute this at least partially to the snobbishness of the computer world that likes to hold managers at arm's length with its expertise. It is Jensen's and Miley's belief that an understanding of computers and what they can do for a company is not be­yond the intellectual capacity of the average businessman and when busi­nessmen realize this, and somehow equip themselves, they will be able to make computers serve the needs of

their companies much better. As matters now stand, there is a

terrible price for ignorance. A com­pany often does not buy the equip­ment that would be best for it be­cause it takes the advice of computer manufacturers' representatives without any real examination of competing machines. And, unfortunately, the ad­vice of many computer consultants is sometimes of little help because the consultants are new to consulting and do not know enough about the full range of equipment that is available from a number of manufacturers.

"Because some consultants cannot afford to be wrong," Jensen says, "they will often play it safe and pro­tect their own interests ahead of the best interests of their clients."

Since there are now more computer than automobile manufacturers, the problem of whose advice to take can become exceedingly confusing to the unknowledgeable management, and it is small wonder that major mistakes are often made—although these mis­takes are rarely admitted.

One misconception about computers that many managers have before pur­chasing a system is that the machines save money, Miley says. "Now they do save money in a way — but not directly. The hardware, programs, and operating costs are expenses—a drain. Obviously the only way to save money is to not buy a computer. Fortunately, there is another possible alternative: use the computer in money-making functions. To be clearer, a firm does not have much room for increasing its net profit via the route of using com­puters to lower expenses, e.g., the cost of running the accounting department.

"However, buy using the computer (which increases expenses) to manage the resources of profit, the increase in profit can be an order of magnitude larger than the expense incurred to product it—for example, for inventory, production control, blending problems, transportation management, schedul­ing. Hence it becomes evident that management is the problem, and with­out smart managers, smart program­mers can cost an enormous amount of money."

Another misconception is that if a firm goes ahead and buys a computer, small, non-competing, neighbor firms will just automatically want to buy some computer time and will thus help share the costs. The fact that the neighbor firms are not now buying time from anyone doesn't phase them.

"This is about like a man buying a

12 TECH ALUMNUS

heavy-duty, riding, lawnmower in order to maintain a small city-type lawn, on the premise that his neigh­bors will probably want to rent it sometime (at his price and conven­ience) and in this way he will eventually pay for the machine—all of which he didn't need in the first place," Jensen adds laconically. "Sell­ing computer time is an intricate busi­ness and difficult even for people who know what they are doing. In the U.S. today we are now in the position of having much more computer time than we have trained persons to use it."

Miley and Jensen say that man­agers are probably also not aware of the resistance to change that often gets built into computer centers within a few years. Programmers and opera­tors learn to do particular kinds of jobs and then do not want to change. If asked by the manager to use the computer to solve another kind of problem, the resulting exchange (drastically oversimplified leaving out references to bits, registers, BCD, ALGOL, FORTRAN, COBOL, etc.) might sound like this:

"You can't do that." "What do you mean we can't do

this?" the manager will ask. "Well, I'm the programmer and I

know it's impossible." Jensen explains that the manager

usually leaves wishing he had never brought the subject up and again ab­dicates — against his better judg­ment—to the expert. Jensen goes on to tell how many programmers and con­sultants either intentionally or unin­tentionally build themselves job securi­ty by programming computers in excentric ways that are near impos­sible for anyone else to understand in retrospect. This is much like the secretary who sets up the filing system so only she can find anything.

Many computer men age very fast, he says. "Many of the people who received computer training a few years ago are not adjusting fast enough to the latest developments. There are some old men in the computer field that are chronologically quite young. This is because it is always inconven­ient to learn something new and even more difficult to fairly evaluate the new.

"But it seems to me that any per­son in this business today has to accept as an occupational fact that everything is moving so rapidly that he cannot accept any standard ex­cept the standard of change. We do reach conceptional plateaus, of course,

but they are of short duration." The Tech men suggest six rules

that top management should follow when dealing with computers and men:

1. Make the decision to acquire and manage computer power as a resource.

2. Educate all levels of management with regard to principles of computer usage, computer economics, and com­puter applications.

3. Separate computer center man­agement from computer operations.

4. Separate computer center respon­sibilities and goals from operational department responsibilities and goals.

5. Appraise and determine your company's immediate requirements and project these requirements in terms of accomplishing your corporate 5 and 10 year goals.

6. In other words, direct, study, plan, staff, evaluate, and then perhaps buy your required computer power for accomplishing your goals.

At least one company they know has followed such a procedure, Jensen and Miley say. This is the Southwire Company of which Roy Richards, '35, is president, and D. B. Cofer, '53, is vice president. L. S. Brannan is in charge of the computer program.

Southwire initiated a feasibility study to determine in what areas com­puters could be used last March 15. Two and a half months later the team making the study (which consisted of Brannan, staff member Larry House, '50, and Cecil Phillips, '55, of Man­agement Science Atlanta) submitted its report. This included a detailed discussion of the existing system and offered the design for a preliminary system for computer use. This was then given to a number of computer manufacturers for specific proposals from them regarding their equipment which might be appropriate for South-wire's needs.

The Southwire program of automa­tion will include production and in­ventory control and fleet schedule integration. This integration is ex­tremely important since the company has 50 big trucks constantly on the move across the country, and their movements have a direct effect on the plant's inventory and production. Computers will also handle order entries, payrolls, and accounts, for a complete and total management in­formation system. It is expected that all of this will be a go operation within two years from now. So it is possible for management to take the reins.

Jensen and Miley say that if a

company feels the need for a third party to help evaluate discussions with consultants and manufacturers' repre­sentatives, it is often wise for them to approach some nearby university for help—that is, if the university has a good computer group and provides such services.

The Tech center is, of course, set up to do consulting, teaching, research, and development for government and industry under contract arrangements. It has a large staff of part-time and full-time persons which includes some 50 professional analysts and program­ming analysts. A number of the pro­fessional members of the staff have well over ten years of direct computer applications experience, an impressive length of service in the young field of computer science and technology.

Looking to the future of computers, Jensen and Miley believe that time­sharing offers the best hope to harried managers. Time-sharing involves the use of a few very large computers tied into a communications network. There may ultimately be communication-computer networks operating as public utilities, they believe, with costs to users as nonconsequential as those now associated with other utilities. They explain that only with the use of very large systems can computer costs be cut to this degree, and add that "such large computers will have to be multi­lingual people to work with them."

Several computer-communication systems are now beginning to be used. They involve the use of typewriter outlets which may be installed hundreds, even thousands, of miles from the computer. Sitting at the typewriter, an operator can program the problem he is interested in solv­ing and get a response from the com­puter in seconds in the form of the typewriter carriage typing messages back to him.

Once an operator gets used to com­municating with the computer in this way, information retrieval, problem solving, or learning, with a computer can become as natural as driving a car with gear shifts, Jensen explains. The relationship is very similar in that the person adjusts to the machine which has been programmed to adjust to him. There will come a day, Jensen predicts, when most executives will have such computer communication devices on their desks. They will be their own computer experts, using this new symbol-manipulating resource as routinely as flipping a switch for lights.

Portrait of the new-breed trainer

GEORGIA TECH'S Henry L. "Buck" -Andel — a compact, medium built, battle-scarred veteran of

World War II—is a proud typification of a new breed of athletic trainers. Not too long ago, the punch-drunks and hangers-around were more often than not assigned this task. But today the average college athletic trainer car­ries more impressive educational cre­dentials than most coaches, athletic directors, and even some teachers. And his responsibilities have expanded from stretcher-bearing, taping, mas­saging, and exercise-leading to include purchasing, travel-arranging, meal-planning, watch-dogging, and major decision-making.

Andel has earned both a bachelor's and master's degree in Industrial Management from Tech and once taught here for six years as a part-time venture. "I'm hardly unique," he points out. "Three of the trainers at colleges in this area have Ph.D de­grees and a trainer who doesn't have one in the 'Big Ten' is definitely in the minority."

Andel, a 150-pound all-state center at Boys High back in the late thirties, got into the training business in 1947 after earning a degree at Tech, spend­ing three years in the service as an infantry officer (one of them was used up in various hospitals trying to rebuild a shattered arm acquired through the courtesy of a German mortar shell), and working two years as an insurance agent. His profes­sional entry in sports was as assistant football coach at Marist School dur­ing the late Shorty Doyal's era. "The trainer's job was thrust upon me at Marist," he recalls. "I didn't know a thing about it but I read every book I could get my hands on and hung around the Tech training room until I at least had an idea of what it was all about. Then, in 1948, Tech offered me the trainer's position.

"I spend about 90 per cent of my time working with the football players

here. This isn't a reflection on the importance of the other sports. It's just that none of the other sports have the variety of injury risks in­herent in football. We have to run a year-long program just to keep to­day's football players in shape to play ten games a year."

Andel looks upon the trainer's basic responsibilities as having three phases. "The first and most important one," he says, "is the preventative or pro­tective phase. At Tech I am re­sponsible for buying all of the equip­ment, organizing the conditioning program, and generally seeing that the boys stay in shape.

"I'm a great believer in the value of running for any physical fitness program. At Tech we use a weight-lifting program some but we prefer the isometric exercise program. It leaves more time for running and gets the boys in better physical shape in much less time."

The second phase of Andel's re­sponsibilities is treatment. Here he works with Tech's team physician, Dr. Lamont Henry. "A trainer, like a doctor, must keep up with the litera­ture of his profession," he says. "Treatment changes continuously even for the same injury. The doctor is always consulted on injuries and we carry out the treatment phase together."

The final phase is rehabilitation and here is where the trainer's big­gest problems come. "Mental attitude, what I call mental toughness, is the governing factor here," says Andel. "Some boys have a much greater tolerance for pain than others. And this is something we haven't been able to do anything about. Although, the boys are bigger and stronger to­day, they don't seem to have the mental toughness they once had. Our soft way of living has undoubtedly brought this about. We have more knee problems today than we ever had simply because a boy will ride

a car to the corner grocery store rather than walk. Why, our boys won't even walk up to the Fox Theater to see a show when they get free tickets."

In the course of a year of going through these three phases, Andel and his assistants will use up over 90 miles of tape and $10,000 worth of medical supplies. But the other areas of a trainer's responsibility are beginning to take up more and more of his time. For the out-of-town trips, Andel does the meal planning, makes up the room lists, and carries his least favorite responsibility—making sure that the team members keep Tech's training rules. Andel runs the bed checks along with his managers and Dick Rhodes, an Atlanta police­man who has worked with Tech for years. It was Andel—looking for an­other player who he heard had been breaking training—who caught Billy Teas coming in late in 1954. Teas, suspended from the team because of the infraction, called the incident the turning point in his life and claimed that it helped turn him to his ex­ceptional work with young people through his church and the Fellow­ship of Christian Athletes.

During the summer, Andel's lightest work period, he attends clinics throughout the country, keeping up with his profession. In 1960, he spent the summer as a trainer with the U. S. Olympic team, an experience he recalls as one of the highlights of his career.

Andel's future is tied up in train­ing but he has a couple of aces in the hole. "There is little more security in training than in coaching," he says. "When the coach gets fired, the trainer won't be far behind. I don't look for Coach Dodd to get fired and I intend to stay at Tech as long as I am in this business. But just in case, I keep my licenses up in securi­ties and real estate. You never know when you might be back selling."

Jackets bounce back to upend Clemson after two shockers

Haven Kicklighter's tackle puts Clemson end Wayne Bell on his head on a short pass gain.

A FTER staggering through their first .£"\.two starts like sleep-walkers, Tech's predominately inexperienced 1965 Jackets woke up and methodi­cally took undefeated Clemson apart in the third game of the season. The final score of 38-6 was no more a true reflection of this team's ability than were the 10-10 tie with Vanderbilt in the opener in Nashville or the 10-14 loss to Texas A&M in the home debut.

A scrambling do-it-yourself sopho­more halfback and a blocked kick on a bad snap were Tech's offense in the opener as the Jackets were lucky to escape Dudley Field with a 10-10 tie. The sophomore, Jimmy Brown of Chattanooga, a souped-up version of Jimmy Thompson, scampered 78 yards with a second-period punt return to give Tech its only touchdown of the error-filled evening when the offensive effort was in the words of Bobby Dodd, "One of the poorest of the poor­est any team of mine has ever played." Dodd added that the offensive mis­takes which came in clusters all eve­ning had to be blamed on the coaching with a terse, "We coaches take the blame for it."

Tech's defense was better than ad­vertised by almost as much as the of­fense was worse than estimated. In one nightmarish three-minute stretch of the third quarter offensive backs fum­bled four times and Vandy recovered three of them. The defense held the first two times but then Billy Schroer went out with a dislocated shoulder and in 11 plays the Commodores went 66 yards for the touchdown that brought on the tie. Vandy got a field goal in the first quarter at the end of a 42-yard drive, and Tech matched it with one by Bunky Henry following the blocked kick by Mike Ashmore in the second period. The Jackets got the ball on the Vandy seven when Schroer scooped up the loose ball following the blocked kick. But in three plays the offense came up with a net gain of one yard, and Henry dropped back to the 13 for the 3 points. Seven minutes later Brown made his twisting run down the sideline, in and out of the tacklers' arms, to put Tech ahead at the half, 10-3, when Henry added the point after. The Jackets had scored the 10 points while piling up one first down on nine yards rushing and 19 passing. Vandy came back in the second half to tie it on a 66-yard drive.

A five-yard penalty early in the fourth quarter was the instrument of impending destruction as the strug­gling Jackets fell to Texas A&M. Tech

had a 10-point lead with but 10:45 left in the game, and the Aggies hadn't made a single threatening gesture since the first offensive series of the game when the roof suddenly fell in. With third and fifth on his own 43, Kim King hit Gary Williams for what would have been a first down at the Aggies 43, but a Jacket was lined up wrong and Tech was back to its 38. Jerry Priestley came in to punt to the A&M 23. And then the Aggies pro­ceeded to drive for a touchdown, kick the extra point, hold the Jackets after an onsides kick, and then drive an­other 73 yards for the winning score which went up on the board with but 1:24 left on the clock.

The game was all Tech up until that fatal, final ten minutes. After stopping A&M's initial drive on an interception at their own 16, the Jackets took over the action. They scored on a fine 64-yard drive late in the first period with Snow going the final five on a pass from King. Snow got to the scoring zone again midway in the third period but he fumbled at the stripe and the Aggies recovered to halt that threat. Early in the fourth period, Bunky Henry added a field goal on the tail-end of a drive that began at the Tech 15 and that 10-point lead looked like money in the bank to everyone except Gene Stallings, the Bear Bryant pro­tege who is in his first year as coach of the Aggies.

The leading roles in the Clemson game that was Robert Lee Dodd's 150th win were taken by quarterback Kim King and tailback Lenny Snow, a pair of sophomores who jointly ma­tured on the very first play from scrim­mage and performed like seniors every time they entered the game. The sup­porting cast was led by an offensive line and backfield who blocked so much better than they did in the ear­lier games that an observer who had witnessed the first two starts had to keep pinching himself to be sure he was not caught up in a pre-game dream.

The climax of this one arrived early. On the first play from scrimmage, Snow took a perfectly-timed pitchout from King and rambled down the side­lines for 48 yards to the Clemson 20. Two plays later, the Daytona Beach galloper added another 13 yards on the same play. King followed this with a 4-yard slant for the first touchdown after faking the pitch to Snow who by this time had the Clemson coaching staff, team, and 46,736 fans watching him as if he were a man from Mars

16 TECH ALUMNUS

dropping in to show off his prowess. It took just five plays and 1:54 of the clock to make it 6-0 and Bunky Henry came in to boost it to 7-0.

Every time that King, Snow and company performed the Jackets picked up a touchdown. After Sammy Burke broke up a pair of passes to halt a de­termined Clemson drive at the Tech 23, the pair of magicians came back onstage for reprise number one. This time Snow managed 30 yards on his first try on his pet play and King showed his running talent with a 25-yard scamper when he decided to keep the ball. Snow then was held to three and King went to the air and hit Gary Williams for 18 yards and the second Tech touchdown.

The defense decided to get into the act about this time. After Clemson had failed to gain on two plays, quar­terback Addison decided to pass and under a heavy rush he overthrew his receivers. Sophomore defensive spe­cialist Bill Eastman picked it off and weaved in and out of the Tigers for 25 yards back to the Clemson 20. Here came King and Snow, alternating on carries to the one with Snow going the final yard on a sweep and with 2:32 still remaining in the first period, Tech had tied its point total for the first two games. Henry broke that deadlock to make it 21-0.

The second offensive unit with Jerry Priestley, the game's offensive captain, at the helm took over after the defen­sive platoon had stopped the Tigers cold on the following series. Priestley —alternating Jack Middlebrooks, the Texas speedster who was rescued from the B team after a sensational scrim­mage performance Monday, and Doc Harvin, with his own keepers—took Tech to its fourth score, a 30-yard field goal by Henry.

The first offensive unit arrived back on the scene and took 17 plays to cover the 73 yards for the next score. Snow got 28 of the yards on nine car­ries including the final two for the score. Wingback Craig Baynham picked up 20 on the ground on three counter plays and caught a pass for nine more from King. The quarterback kept the ball four times for the other 16 yards. Bunky Henry came on with 4:02 remaining in the period to add the 31st point and break Pepper Rod-gers' record of 19 consecutive extra points, set back in 1952.

With Priestley at quarterback, the Jackets went in for their final score in four plays. Giles Smith scooted the final 22 yards after a fine fake by Priestley.

Tech's two sensational sophomores, Kim King (above) and Lenny Snow (below) along with the offensive line and the im­proved blocking of the backs brought about the offensive change.

N a carrel deep in the heart of the library's stacks he sits behind a pile of litera­

ture—engrossed, self-sentenced — yea, booked. Or he shelves himself for long hours in his office or in his den at home, for he cannot, ab­solutely cannot, resist the written word. His appetite is omnivorous and voracious. He wants to sample everything and to chew into fields as diverse as archaeology, modern novels, skyscrapers or high bridges, but no one tries to shield a bibliomaniac.

Now floorwatchers protect kleptomaniacs from themselves and police­men and heroic citizens watch acrophobes when they venture on top of skyscrapers or high bridges, but no one tries to shield a bibliomaniac. Indeed, he is tempted at every page turn.

In bookstores it is shameful how the bright and colorful covers reach out to him. For a dollar he can cry or laugh with the Greeks, gain a survey knowledge of existentialism, an insight into the art of Klee, or for fifty cents peer into the future through excellent science fiction. Woe. Then there is the awful gamut of walking through rows and rows of stacks in the library trying to focus on a particular call number while resisting the siren-like titles on every side. For the bibliomaniac the musty smell of old paper and leather are almost narcotic.

While the intellectually curious are to be found in many walks of life, the percentage is probably, or at least should be, highest in academe', and here the desperate race to keep up with knowledge is the keenest. For it is never comforting for one professor to look over at another at a faculty meeting, aware that that man is an absolute expert on fast neutron activation while he himself is comparatively an ignoramus in the field.

Yet, this is inevitable because of the way the accumulation of knowledge is outstripping the human capacity to learn. Great mountains of informa­tion are being thrust up and cataloged. Libraries number their volumes in the hundreds of thousands, even millions, while the number of journals is rapidly extending towards infinity. Magazines proliferate. Newspapers can only be scanned as thoroughly as possible and sped on to paper sales. Heaven help the bibliomaniac who tries to read a number of papers to get a complete picture.

The bibliomaniac is always just a little more comfortable in his home or office where at least most of the books, journals, magazines, etc., are captive, i.e., have been read. But after having served a period of time on shelves these always begin to escape—to be lost from the memory—and need to be re-read.

As might be expected, the bibliomaniac can often be identified by baggy pockets, stretched less by money than by paper weight, and by his red-ringed, weary eyes. He is forever acquiring, building, painting, and stuffing bookcases and wherever he is, the decor always resembles that of a bookstore.

We once knew two devout bibliomaniacs who built bookcases to a level of four feet along at least three walls of every room of their home. It was a marvelous place in which young bibliomaniacs could apprentice.

It is a complete presentation of the construction and application of scales, graph papers, graphs, and nomographs to engineering computations, from the mechanical design of scales through the theory of three-dimensional nomographs.

Burrows has taught chemistry and conducted research at Tech for many years. He has served as a consultant to industry on problems of etching and corrosion of metals, surface chemistry, chemicar equilibria, reaction kinetics, and instrumentation.

EXPRESSION—con

have been considerable. Educational activities have included assistance in recruiting staff and graduate students, coordination of interdisciplinary cour­ses, coordination and sponsorship of visiting lecturers, campus-wide dissemination of technological and legislative information, participation in hearings on citizens' committees and in technical programs. The Center also undertook the sponsorship of a very successful seminar and a con­ference on river basin planning and the publication of a 561-page book based on the seminar.

Research activities to date are dominated by those which resulted from the Center's designation, as of May 3, 1965, as the State Water Re­sources Research Institute, under the provisions of Public Law 88-379. As authorized under this law, an allo­cation of $75,000 was used to initiate eight research projects in fiscal year 1965, and an allocation of $87,500 has been approved to support the original projects plus two additional projects beginning on July 1, 1965. Notable features of this program include the fact that it involves a partnership ar­rangement between the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech, and that it has been used to stimulate the cam­pus-wide water resources research pro­gram at Tech. Cooperation with the University is administered by a Joint Tech-Georgia Advisory Committee on Water Resources Research which has set a significant precedent for con­structive collaboration between the two institutions.

Southern Technical Institute The Southern Technical Institute

has completed the fourth year on its new campus. The first dormitory and dining hall building was occupied in March and was a fine addition to the campus. It provided a great lift to the spirit and morale of both the students and faculty. A second dormi­tory is under construction and is ex­pected to be completed in time for the 1965 Fall Quarter. Architectural plans have been completed for two additional buildings—a library and a multipurpose building. It is antici­pated that construction will begin on these new projects during the late summer or early fall of 1965. South­ern Tech still needs a student service building and a physical plant build­ing.

Southern Technical Institute was accredited during the year as a Special Purpose Institution by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. This recognition will add greatly to the prestige and image of Southern Tech.

Acknowledgments I acknowledge with gratitude the

dedication and energy of the faculty and staff of Georgia Tech, the sup­port and encouragement they have lent to the administration, and, of course, the loyalty and support of Tech's administrative staff. Especially do I wish to express the institution's appreciation as well as my own for the understanding and hard work which the members of the Board of Regents and their staff have put into each year's operation of the University System of Georgia. I wish to express also to Dr. S. Walter Martin, Vice Chancellor, Georgia Tech's apprecia­tion for his excellent handling of the task of Acting Chancellor and for his willingness to lend advice and assistance.

Several times I have mentioned the support extended by the Georgia Tech Foundation, the Georgia Tech Na­tional Alumni Association, and the Joint Tech-Georgia Development Fund. The strength of the institution has been sustained significantly by the close cooperation of these groups. We are all deeply grateful for their support and interest.

A special acknowledgment is ex­tended to Governor Carl E. Sanders for his energetic support of public education and to the members of the Georgia General Assembly who have patiently and with understanding helped to distribute limited funds in­telligently to satisfy a host of needs.

the editors notes

i I N A WORLD seemingly full of such magni f icen t h u m a n s p e c i m e n s a s those young, heal thy males rushing to Las Vegas to s tand in line to marry to avoid the draft . . . rioters and loot­ers with no respect for property . . . college students picketing Marines who are on their way to Viet N a m . . . flagwavers who have managed to avoid military service in every single war or crisis over the past 25 years . . . and those unreasonable ones on both sides bent on turning the civil rights crises into full-blown wars . . . it is always nice to note that one thing—the Amer­ican politician—never seems to change.

Consider the case of the loyalty oath and the reluctant professors here in Georgia.

A few weeks back, 165 Georgia col­lege professors, including 29 from this campus, petitioned the courts to have a portion of the state security ques­t ionnaire and the teachers ' loyalty oath thrown out as conditions of em­ployment. Specifically they attacked Section 16F of the questionnaire which requires all employees of the Univer­sity System and the public schools to swear that none of their relatives has ever been a member of any of the 250 or so organizations believed to be sub­versive in nature. The portion of the loyalty oath they objected to was the one in which they had to swear to "re­frain from directly or indirectly sub­scribing to or teaching any theory of government or economics or of social science which is inconsistent with the fundamental principles of patriotism and high ideals of Americanism."

On the face of it, the better part of valor for most of us was to sign the oath as it stood and forget about it. But what of the poor professor who had been hired to teach a course in Marxism as a result of the 1962 Georgia House and Senate Resolu­tions urging the teaching of courses in the t rue na ture of communism on all of the college campuses and in all of the high schools. Here we have the hear t of the matter—a man swearing that he will not teach communism and then being ordered by his superiors to teach it because of a state directive. To a man with any integrity at all this is an unswallowable pill. I t certainly

would be to us in this situation and we ,_hope to you.

^ YET when the professors' case hit the newspapers, the politicians climbed on what they construed to be an ex­tremely safe bandwagon. "They should be fired for- not believing in patriot­ism," said one.

" I can't understand why they aren' t willing to sign an oath saying they are loyal to their country," shouted another.

" I am not saying they should be fired but none of them would be work­ing in my office," remarked still an­other. And on and on it went.

^ AFTER all of the politicians had made their, hopefully, vote-getting re­marks, it came out that Section 16F ( the one about the relatives, remem­ber) had been ordered removed by Senator Herman Talmadge back in 1954 when he was Governor of Geor­gia. Why this executive order and fol­lowing legislative action in 1956 also ordering the removal of 16F were never followed remains a mystery.

The professors also took a dim view of Section 17 (which requires them to list every organization to which they have ever belonged) on the grounds that it was time-wasting, nonsensical and was not being used as a means of collecting legitimate background ma­terial for employment purposes.

Under the heat of public clamour against them brought on by the politi­cians' s tatements claiming they were being disloyal by refusing to sign the old loyalty oath, the professors agreed to sign an abbreviated form as a tem­porary measure until the court settled the case.

A week later, Section 16F was stricken from the questionnaire on an order signed by State Attorney Gen­eral Arthur Bolton on the grounds that it should have been removed some 11 years ago as a result of then Governor Talmadge's executive order.

Then in early September, Dr. Claude Purcell, s tate school superin­tendent who by a strange quirk of one of the loyalty oath laws (there are

30 TECH ALUMNUS

two of them for some reason) is the man responsible for wording the oath, moved to have the professors' case dis­missed after he rewrote the oath re­moving the objectionable segment. The new oath reads:

"I, (name), an employee of (name of institution or department) do here­by swear (or affirm) that I will sup­port the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Georgia; that I am not a member of any organization that to my knowledge advocates the violent overthrow of the Constitution or gov­ernment of either the United States or the State of Georgia; that I will not teach, advocate nor encourage the violent overthrow of the Constitution or government of either the United States or the State of Georgia."

± IT is beginning to look as if the professors won the case without ever getting into the courtroom.

But the entire matter was, as you can readily observe, one of mass con­fusion, and in the long run it appears to us that the professors lost more than they won. Perhaps because of their basic honesty and their all-out belief in academic freedom, teachers are notoriously naive about public rela­tions. And for this we not only excuse them, we salute them. But they are also expected to be dedicated to thor­ough research before they make a move. And in this instance somebody forgot to do the research. If it had been properly done, the executive order, and the legislative action would have been discovered and the court case would have been presented in a different light, one much more favor­able to education than this one was.

• O N October 1, a three-judge panel ruled that the original loyalty oath was unconstitutional. They also ruled that the challenge to sections of the ques­tionnaire was a moot point, since the State had assured the court that these sections had been eliminated or altered to satisfy the complaint. The revised loyalty oath will continue to be used, as at no time did the teachers object to swearing their loyalty to the United States and the State of Georgia and their respective constitutions.

Everybody thus is happy except per­haps the politicians, who have sud­denly turned silent. Unfortunately it came too late to prevent damage to the cause of education. B. W.
