RAMBLIN' by Ben L. Moon

One of the most extensive changes to occur at Georgia Tech during the past year has been the conversion of Southern Technical Institute in Marietta to a four-year degree-granting school. Southern Tech has experienced a dramatic increase in enrol lment— roughly from 900 to 1,600 over the past year—and is acquiring a new dean, Dr. Walter O. Carlson, who acted as dean of engineering at Tech until the permanent appointment of Dr. Stelson early this year. Southern Tech is now organizationally under the College of Engineering at Georgia Tech, rather than the Engineering Extension Division as in the past. Courses and instructors wi l l be added at a brisk rate over the next few years as the curriculum grows to accommodate the charter class of four-year graduates.

The Alumnus is fortunate to have a Man on the Scene who is not only

of Georgia Tech graduates in architecture; for the benefit of those of us who were not as fortunate, the Alumnus offers a profile in this issue: "Never Worked and Never W i l l . "

As promised in an earlier issue, the Alumnus wi l l attempt to keep alumni informed of research going on at Georgia Tech. This issue carries a "catch-up" article that summarizes a number 'of major projects in various stages of complet ion. This article makes the tremendous diversity of projects apparent, an indication that Georgia Tech isn't carrying all its research in one industry. This mix of research sponsorship, along wi th Tech's reputation for performance, has caused the school's level of research activity to be maintained at high levels and in some cases increased. Faculty and staff efforts in increasing the

The National Scene A major university becomes the first to experiment

with a plan to let students pay their tuition over 35 years • Deferred Tuition: A plan that someday could revolutionize the way colleges and universities are financed will be started experimentally at Yale University next fall. Yale's plan, variations of which have been discussed for years, would en­able students to postpone part of their tuition by pledging to pay back a fixed portion of their fu­ture annual income for up to 35 years. Many other institutions are said to be interested in such an arrangement, and the Ford Foundation is spending $500,000 in the next year to study whether a broader test should be made.

The idea is highly controversial. Proponents talk about making it easier for financially pressed colleges to charge higher fees. "Unless something is done," says Yale's president, Kingman Brew­ster, Jr., "either we lower our quality or we close our doors to those who cannot pay the increased cost of quality." The plan's chief critics, leaders of public higher education, warn against shifting too great a share of education's costs from society to the student.

The critics fear that deferred tuition could lead to reduced funds from government and private sources, especially if the plan were begun at the federal level, as some have urged. Yale and the Ford Foundation assert, however, that other forms of aid must continue and that deferred tuition is no cure-all for the colleges' money woes.

• Federal Programs: President Nixon and the 92nd Congress have started a debate on the shape and scope of federal aid to higher education. The President, in his budget for the next fiscal year, has proposed more money for students and re­search but less for academic facilities and equip­ment. Overall, there would be a slight increase in funds. There are signs of strong opposition in Congress to Administration plans to restructure rather than extend existing forms of student aid. Some new legislation is likely to emerge in the coming months, since authority for many U.S. programs for students and colleges is scheduled to expire on June 30.

• College Presidents: Academic institutions work so hard to find sensitive and imaginative presidents, says the Association of American Colleges, that the institutions would be wise to help them "maintain those qualities." The orga­nization recommends formal policies for giving presidents periodic leaves of absence, perhaps every three to five years. A newly published study

of college presidents shows, meanwhile, that they have held their current positions for an average of eight years. Other findings of the study, by Michael R. Ferrari of Kent State University:

—The average age of presidents is 53. —85 per cent of them held jobs in education

immediately prior to their presidencies. —About half the presidents at one time had

been full professors. One college president today is only 24 years

old. He is Leon Botstein of Franconia College in New Hampshire. Students call him by his first name. He says his youth hasn't hurt, since "people respond to you because of the position you hold, not because of your age."

• Job Hunting: College placement directors are telling students who will graduate this year to be aggressive in seeking jobs. Surveys of employers and colleges around the country have shown about a 20-per-cent drop in companies' recruiting activ­ities on the campuses, and actual job openings are expected to be that much less prevalent. "The jobs are still there," says one authority, but "there may not be as much choice."

• In Brief: The American military involvement in Laos came at a time when several peace groups and student organizations already were seeking to revive the anti-war movement. Within a week there were outbreaks of campus violence, and major demonstrations were being scheduled . . .

Earlier, President Nixon called for a new vol­untary service agency to make better use of youth­ful idealism, which he termed "one of America's most priceless assets." The agency would com­bine the Peace Corps, VISTA, and similar federal programs . . .

Hobart College in Geneva, N.Y., has been de­clared innocent of charges that it failed to control students during a confrontation with police last June. The judge said the evidence was insufficient. The case is thought to be the first in which a col­lege faced criminal charges over campus dis­order . . .

Pennsylvania's highest court has ruled that col­lege dormitory rooms should be as secure from unwarranted searches in criminal cases as an apartment or a hotel room . . .

Thousands of college students in at least 15 states have been qualifying for food stamps this year, but a new federal law is expected to make it harder for them to do so.

"On that first registration day," the fiftyish educator admitted, "nobody knew for sure wheth­er any students would sign up—thank goodness 116 did. But everybody was as nervous as a bride waiting for guests to arrive at her first dinner party."

Marietta Offspring (Continued)

As students at Georgia Tech moved more into research and theoretical studies, graduates of the parent institution were leaving a gap in industry —a slippage between the engineer's plans and the products leaving an assembly line. Manufac­turing companies needed supervisors and staff specialists; distributors of technical products needed technically trained salesmen; construction companies needed estimators and foremen; and the government needed technical personnel down the whole range of GS levels. Neither the Georgia Tech graduates (increasingly concerned with theoretical knowledge and too few anyway) nor liberal arts graduates (without technical back­ground) could fill these gap positions.

Southern Tech graduates could indeed supply the missing links. But the eight Southern Tech faculty members with twenty-year service pins admit that—missing link or not—Southern Tech was at first hard to sell. Johnson's contagious enthusiasm was no epidemic off the campus.

Southern Tech was a new idea. Its students now come from three main sources, the most important being referrals by other students. When the school first opened, it had no graduates to guide friends to alma mater.

Another important source has been references from high school counselors. But at first, Georgia's high school counselors knew little about Southern Tech. Much of their information was erroneous. ("Parents judge me by how many of my high school seniors go to college, not to Southern Tech.") A few counselors would not invite South­ern Tech representatives to college days and career days. Many counselors even wondered where to file the STI catalog. ("Is STI a trade school or a college?") And Southern Tech was known even less among parents—who direct many students to college—than among high-school counselors.

Misconceptions of its purpose probably hurt Southern Tech most. People phoned to ask "When does your next course in bricklaying start?" or "How long will it take to learn to be a machinist at Southern Tech?" These callers—including parents of high school seniors—did not conceive of Southern Tech as college-level. They did not know that architectural students lay not a single brick; and that the machine shop only trains students tb supervise machinists.

Ugly buildings discouraged many parents too. As one early faculty member recalls, "I hated to see it rain. Rain streaked the shingles on our buildings and made them look even worse."

But Southern Tech succeeded—largely because of the spirit of "with nowhere to go but up, we will climb hard." Despite low pay (typical start­ing pay was $2,700 a year for instructors) and bleak prospects, faculty morale was excellent.

With enrollment in the low hundreds, faculty and students felt close; and both faculty and students sensed the industrial need. AIG members helped recruit students; such aid plus generous scholar­ships proved that industry really did want tech­nicians.

From the first, Southern Tech fought for re­spectability. First, the War Manpower Commis­sion and the Veterans Administration recognized Southern Tech. Accreditation by the Engineers' Council for Professional Development, which also accredits engineering programs, further improved the school's "image." Later, in 1964, the regional accrediting agency accredited the institution, thus further raising its status.

Only after more than a decade of barracks did the physical plant improve. From opening day in 1948 Southern Tech suffered the problems of maintenance, parking, heating bills, and de­pressing buildings. Finally, in 1957, Georgia Governor Marvin Griffin allocated $2 million for a new campus for Southern Tech. With both DeKalb County and Cobb County contending as home sites for the new campus, Cobb County obtained for the state one hundred twenty acres on the outskirts of Marietta.

On October 2, 1961, Southern Tech registered its first students in its new home. Concrete, brick, and glass had replaced the asbestos siding and open underpinning. In spring of 1962 more than three thousand people witnessed open house/ dedication at the new campus. They saw modem, two-story classroom and laboratory buildings; well-lighted and temperature-controlled class­rooms; and comfortable offices. The faculty member could forget his strategy of escaping fire by leaping to a ligustrum bush.

Southern Tech's plant is still improving. Since acceptance of the original eight buildings in 1961 the State Regents have added two dormitories, housing nearly 500 students in year-round temper­ature-controlled rooms. Southern Tech now has its own gymnasium—one of the most modern in the University System. The Southern Tech Library, a branch of Georgia Tech's main library, has grown from two shelves of donated books to a new library building with more than 24,000 books. The library, once a part-time chore of the bookstore manager, has two professional librarians plus assistants. John Pattillo, librarian, expects to get more personnel and many more books very soon.

Student comfort has improved fantastically. For example, the "Garbage Locker" of the old Chamblee campus is only a memory. Today's student eats either in the cafeteria in one of the dormitories or in the snack bar in Building 3.

And lest all study and no play make Jack a dull technologist, today's Southern Tech student

can take part in intercollegiate sports like basket­ball or intramural sports. He can play tennis, or he can listen to pop or classic in the library music room.

Campus social life has certainly changed. Southern Tech's first students were predominately married veterans. Entertainment then often con­sisted of parents and children at a hot dog cook-out. Many of today's students are also married, but typical age has dropped from the late 20's of the first classes to the present median of 20. Today the student may belong to a professional fraternity or club. Annual social events are the Christmas dance, the Valentine's dance with the crowning of Miss Southern Tech, and the annual bathtub race.

This last event combines both fun and tech­nology. Various student groups convert bathtubs to powered vehicles for an hour-long race around the campus. Hundreds of spectators cheer, and the race makes network news wires.

Of course, the four-year program retains a philosophy of service, to young people and to employment managers. Technical courses retain their distinct practical application—without being either watered-down engineering courses or dressed-up vocational courses. The Southern Tech student, like his Georgia Tech counterpart, suffers the trauma of calculus, thermodynamics, and physics. But these courses stress practical problems.

If a product depends on consumer acceptance, then Southern Tech's product—the engineering technician (two-year) or the engineering tech­nologist (four-year)—has succeeded. The grad­uates of 1949 started at salaries of slightly more than $200 a month. Today's two-year graduate typically starts at $650 to $750 a month. (Four-year graduates will probably start at even higher salaries.) Even in times of unemployment, the senior usually accepts a job well before he grad­uates.

Graduates have made good records. Now al­most a generation on their jobs, the earliest graduates have done extremely well. Even with only two-year degrees, some have already climbed to the top rungs on the management ladder; two early graduates now head sizable companies.

Paul V. Smith, Southern Tech Placement Di­rector, says that his product sells easily because the graduate quickly pays his own way. As Smith points out, the graduate with an applied back­ground needs little more training.

Career success also derives from the quality of the entering student. Compared with university system students as a whole, Southern Tech stu­dents rank high in mathematical ability. Follow­ing Georgia/Tech's philosophy, the college has always had high entrance requirements—three years of English, three years of math, and two years of science.

As Southern Tech has risen in stature, it has strengthened its ties with Georgia Tech. L. V. Johnson served as director from 1948 until 1959. He then became director of Georgia Tech's En­gineering Extension Division-T-which included Southern Tech. Hoyt L. McCliire, head of the

STI Industrial Engineering Department, suc­ceeded Johnson as director. Under McClure's direction from 1959 until 1971, Southern Tech acquired its permanent campus and developed into a four-year program. Dr. Walter O. Carlson, Georgia Tech's acting dean of engineering, was named dean of Southern Tech, effective April 1971; McClure was named associate dean. This change further related Georgia Tech to its grow­ing offspring.

The four-year program responded to industrial and educational needs. On the Marietta campus, Southern Tech had room to grow and markets to fill—the campus can accommodate 1,600 to 2,000 students, far more than the 900 to 1,200 stu­dents enrolled during the years 1961 through 1970.

Furthermore, industry needed graduates with a four-year, applied background. The faculty was frenetically trying to cram more course content into a two-year program. Said one, "With develop­ments in science, engineering, and technology, we were trying to wedge twelve quarters of course work into a six-quarter program. Computer pro­gramming was just one example. Why, when Southern Tech opened, nobody could even spell 'computer'! By 1970 we were stuffing at least some computer programming into all of our pro­grams.

"New techniques affected every program. Just look at the developments in the last twenty years, things like surveying by radio waves, transistors, and hundreds of new building materials. A two-year program sacrificed something."

Thus, in 1970 Georgia Tech asked permission to raise STI to a four-year college. The four-year program officially began in fall of 1970. Soaring enrollment quickly proved the need for four-year programs. From the preceding year's 900 to 1,000, Southern Tech's student body jumped to more than 1,600 in fall of 1970.

However, Southern Tech still offers the two-year degree for students with neither time for nor interest in (and sometimes money for) a four-year program. Thus a Southern Tech stu­dent can select either a two or four-year pro­gram. Having reached the two-year level, many students continue for the four-year degree. A

Current Research at Georgia Tech

THE BROADE ? VIE! I Research at Tech is an ever-changing flow of meaningful projects. The research activities presented here are but a sample of the work currently being done at Georgia Tech in a multitude of areas. The examples chosen demonstrate a range of activities, but have a central theme. They point out the involvement of Georgia Tech's researchers in problems that relate to the benefit and welfare of man and society. In scope the research described ranges from problems in transportation to how the human mind stores information. This brief description is but an outline of the quality and diversity of Georgia Tech research activity.

Cancer drug synthesis

A MEANS OF SYNTHESIZING a life-saving drug for the treatment of various forms of cancer is being developed by researchers at Georgia Tech. The Camptotheca Acuni-nata, an ornamental tree native to main­land China, was introduced in California during the 1930's. As early as 1959 scien­tists found that extracts of the Campto­theca tree showed anti-cancer activity in animals, and in 1965 camptothecin was identified as the compound responsible for

the activity. To achieve a larger and more immediate supply of the precious drug re­searchers at Tech, under a contract from the National Institute of Health, are at­tempting to achieve a means of commer­cially synthesizing camptothecin. To date, significant progress has been made. In ad­dition, some forty new compounds that were prepared as intermediate steps in the synthesis are being tested for anti-tumor activity.

ALMOST ANY MEANS of moving human be­ings or materials from one place to an­other involves a high level of noise, and noise is a form of environmental pollution that becomes serious in areas of high popul. on concentration. People are be­coming more and more concerned about the e i i ct of noise on their living condi­tions, a concern tha t often becomes trans­lated into political action. At Tech the effect of noise on the quality of urban

environments is being studied, particularly in relation to transportation vehicles as a source. The study of i noise has many facets: human reaction, human tolerance, effects on animal physiology and behavior, noise control through land use control, transportation sources, and social, eco­nomic and legal aspects. The tools of the researchers include site noise measure­ments, sociological and psychological sur­veys, and audiometric studies.

Urban transportation

Crash survival

CLOSE TO 60,000 DEATHS and 5,000,000 in­juries are caused by traffic accidents each year, in addition to economic losses and damage to property in excess of $11 billion. Research studies of crash survival and vehicle crash-worthiness could yield invalu­able knowledge of how to minimize damage and injury during a traffic accident, air crash, or other form of impact involving human beings. Georgia Tech, in coopera­tion with other academic institutions in the Atlanta area, is designing a facility to conduct research in acceleration and im­pact problems—Project ARIES (Accel­eration Research and Impact Effect Sim­ulator). Two designs, each capable of

generating one million pounds of force, have been conceived and are currently under consideration. The vehicle, struc­ture, or animal being tested would be ac­celerated along the apparatus. Depending upon the test, the object would possibly be slammed into an obstruction and the re­sults of the carefully controlled crash studied by means of slow-motion photog­raphy and other instrumentation. This facility could make Atlanta's nationally prominent center for research in transpor­tation safety, serving the aerospace, auto­motive and related industries as well as the armed services and other government agencies concerned with transportation.

The molecular basis for memory

n

EXACTLY WHAT IS MEMORY? What happens in the brain that causes us to remember things? If we understood the process, per­haps learning could be made faster and easier or, perhaps, the human mind could be linked to a computer storage bank. The Georgia Tech School of Physics is partici­pating in an interdisciplinary study of the physical basis of memory, a study of the way memory is stored in the brain of a mammal. Rats are trained to a task, such as finding their way through a maze, then are killed and their brains removed. Mole­cules extracted from the brains are in­jected in other rats, who without training are then able to> perform to some degree

the same tasks learned by the donor rats. Something obviously happened to change the brain molecules in response to the training, something that caused memory and something that was transferred to the untrained rats as a result of the physical injection of the extracted molecules. Alter­nating electric fields are applied to por­tions of the extract before it is injected into the second group of rats as a test of whether the change is chemical or electric in nature. A fundamental understanding of the memory storage mechanism is neces­sary before other features of the brain such as recall, comparison, learning, and creative reasoning can be studied.

ATTACKS ON AIR POLLUTION can ultimately only be rhetorical if its nature isn't under­stood. At Georgia Tech research is under­way to analyze the contents of polluted air by content—which elements are pres­ent—and by quantity—what weight per unit volume of air. Air is sampled at various locations in metropolitan Atlanta by drawing a known volume of air through a membrane filter, trapping particles down to the submicron range. The trapped particles are then irradiated in the nuclear reactor and, as they go through the process of atomic decay, are identified by gamma-

ray spectrometry as mercury, sodium, j^jf p o l l u t i o n arsenic, manganese, irori, chlorine, vana­dium, aluminum, bromine, or copper. This method of atmospheric particle analysis will provide a means of determin­ing just what pollutants are present in the air and how much of each, and these mea­surements will in turn serve as a basis for setting standards for maximum allowable / , amounts of a given pollutant. In this way sensible air pollution controls can be ap­plied where needed rather than broad, expensive, and relatively ineffectual con­trols being applied indiscriminately.

AS URBAN AREAS WERE DEVELOPED in the past, thought was seldom given to the effect of the development on such a simple thing as water drainage. Nature has ruth-

Flood control

Stream reaeration capacity

GRANTED, A CERTAIN AMOUNT of pollution, from whatever source, is a fact of life. But how long does it take a stream or river to recover? Georgia Tech is developing a method of predicting the time required for reaeration of a stream, the replenishment of its oxygen from the atmosphere. Pollu­tion decreases or eliminates the oxygen dissolved in a stream, and most forms of aquatic life can exist only if there is an adequate supply of dissolved oxygen in the water. The rate of oxygen use as well as the rate of reaeration must be known if economical treatment facilities are to be designed. The Tech researchers use a ra­dioactive tracer gas, krypton-85, to mea­sure the reaeration capacity of highly pol­

luted sections of the Flint, South, and Chattahoochee rivers near Atlanta. The tracer dose is poured into the stream, then is measured again about 15 to 20 miles downstream to determine how much oxy­gen the stream has absorbed from the atmosphere over the measured distance. The hydraulic properties of the stream— slope, depth, time of flow, and other such factors—must be taken into account for a detailed computer analysis of reaeration capacity. The results of the study are al­ready being used by the Georgia Water Quality Control Board. In addition, the results will strongly influence the expendi­ture of the billions of dollars on waste treatment.

Neutron radiography

GEORGIA TECH HAS THE BEST (highest res­olution) neutron radiography facility in the United States. The neutron-ray tech­nique is similar to x-ray, but "sees" mate­rials not "seen" in x-radiography. Hy­drogen-containing materials readily pro­duce images; thus, for industrial uses it is possible to view such things as " 0 " rings in steel fittings and the charge in explosive bolts. All components of the Apollo space­

craft containing " 0 " rings or explosive devices were neutron radiographed. In medical applications, it is possible to see the interior of bones and visualize fatty bone cancer tumors. The neutron radio­graph also reveals fatty deposits in other parts of the body without the obstruction of bones. This new tool is a strong comple­ment to x-radiography with wide applica­tions in science and engineering.

A Profile of Georgia Tech's Julian Harris

Never Worked And Never Will

By Ben Moon

There's an old children's tale about a toy-maker whose shop bore a sign announcing "Never Worked and Never Will," yet was a scene of constant activity. The answer, of course, was that the man enjoyed what he did so much that it wasn't work to him.

Georgia Tech's Juiian Hoke Harris is a modern version of that toymaker, a man quite apparently at peace with himself and with the world as he approaches his 65th year. He himself attributes much of his happiness to his wife, the former Jean Fambrough of At­lanta, and their two daughters, but satisfac­tion in his work has also apparently been an important factor. Since 1936 he has taught part-time in the School of Architecture while creating a goodly portion of the outstanding works of architectural sculpture in the south­east. These works, incubated in the studio at the rear of his campus home on Fifth Street, have included commissions for sculpture on more than 50 public buildings, and portrait busts and reliefs of some of the region's most famous people.

"I've never done a portrait sculpture of a man I didn't admire," he reflects. "That's one of the most satisfying byproducts of my work—getting to know these brilliant, inter­esting men. I like people, so portraits come easy to me anyway. I talk with them while they're sitting, to keep their features animated, and often wish I had a tape recorder here so I could capture the conversation. To mention a few—Guy Conners of Tulsa, Oklahoma is a wonderful person and his was one of the best portrait sculptures I've ever done. I remember President Brittain reading tlie Bible in Greek; he said it really lost a lot in translation. And

Coach Alexander; that man would have been tops in anything he chose to go into. If he had gone into banking he would have been the president of a bank. And Senator Brown of South Carolina . . . I learned things from him about politics and the Democratic Party that I had never known before. Then there was Mayor Hartsfield. I had a hard time keeping him on the stand, because he kept jumping up to use the telephone. And there was Ivan Allen, Sr., Charles T. Palmer, Robert Wood­ruff, Grosclose . . . all of them fascinating people."

Another satisfaction in creating sculpture is working with one's hands. Ironically, many people are denied the pleasures of manual labor because of the stigma attached.

"Stone carvers are hard to find—there are only three modern art foundries in the north­east. People just don't like to get their hands dirty, yet a lot of plumbers make more money than Tech graduates do. People will come into my studio and immediately dig up a handful of clay. They enjoy the feel of it; you can get hold of it.

"As for materials, there's nothing more satis­fying than marble. It has a consistent resis­tance; there's something there in the stone that you're visualizing, and you're bringing it out." He smiled. "But clay is my favorite now—it's easier at my age. Running an air hammer all day on a work made of marble or limestone is hard work."

Harris is a comfortable person, meandering about in a sweater with holes in the elbow, a large meerschaum pipe pendant from his teeth. His quiet modesty immediately shatters all preconceptions about temperamental artists.

He gives generous credit to others, and is apparently as excited about his students' work as about his own. The man would be an inter­viewer's Waterloo if it weren't for his sociable kindliness, for he doesn't take flight on highly theoretical leading questions. His answers to questions are simple, concrete, direct; his lan­guage clear and uncomplicated. The interview­er observed that he didn't use the patois of the art critic.

"There's a lot of sham in art," he mused. "Artists sometimes decide what an abstract work is supposed to be after it's finished, hav­ing great fun selecting a title. Some artists without creative ability play the part—the Vandyke beard, the long hair, the beret. I hate to shave, and would have a full, white, Pappy Hemingway beard if I let it grow, but I can't afford to. I've been debunking the 'artiste' for too long."

our poverty and our bad taste to the rest of the world," he snorts.

While doing the sculpture for the walls of Grant Park Zoo, he delighted in telling friends he was doing a bit of sculpture for a cat house. He likes the rendition he did of Nancy Hart, who "almost single-handedly ran the British out of Georgia . . . quite a gal." He has done several versions of Uncle Remus characters for libraries and shopping centers, making the story of the "Tarbaby" the subject of a medal selected as the 81st issue of The Society of Medalists. Also, in competition with 77 other sculptors throughout the nation, his entry was selected for the 40th Anniversary Commemora­tive Medal of the Society.* He considers this award and the Fine Arts Medal awarded him by The American Institute of Architects two of the most important honors he has received during his career. The latter award reads, in part,

"The fine arts medal honors an architect who found in sculpture the means by which he could recapture that close interweaving of the two arts which was known to some great epochs of the past and which raises the two to heights unat­tainable by either art alone."

Harris has successfully treated a number of religious subjects, including a heroic bronze statue of John Wesley at West Virginia Wesleyan College. He calls the whimsical fountain in his garden featuring Jonah in the Whale's belly his "fun piece." He pioneered the use of the jet flame in sculpting, a tech­nique later used in the Stone Mountain carv­ing, when he sculpted a madonna nine years ago. It was the first sculpture completed entire­ly by that method without a chisel. In 1933 he modeled a realistic figure of Moses; in 1963 he again executed the same figure, in the same pose, the same size, but in a simplified, abstract style. A comparison of the two is a perfect les­son in the way an abstracted work of art should, in Harris' words, "stylize nature, show power pushing out," rather than being an indulgence of the artist's abstruse and undis­ciplined whims unrelated to reality.

The artist's zest for his calling is revealed

by a typical put-down of a leading question: what is Julian Hoke Harris' favorite of all works? "The one I'm working on at the time," he replies with a twinkle in his eye. What would he most like to do? "I'd like to do a totem-pole fountain of the history of Atlanta . . . . I'd like to spend the rest of my life doing that one. I've also got a number of personal projects I'd like to do, but commissions have kept me busy."

The man's background is a clue to his ideas about creativity and the education of artists. He was raised in Carrollton, Georgia across the street from Ed Dodd, creator of the cartoon character Mark Trail. While in grammar school he and Dodd took a cartoon course by mail, but Harris' youthful ambition took another turn during his high school years: he decided to

ment of educators being infallible in curriculum planning."

If he had know from the beginning he was to be a sculptor, would he have avoided Geor­gia Tech as a detour from a career in fine arts?

"I'm glad you asked that; it's an example of how the fickle finger of fate has affected my life. Had I known I would be a sculptor, I wouldn't have gone to Tech—but it's turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me. My knowledge of architecture has en­abled me to collaborate with 18 or 19 architec­tural firms on artwork for 50 buildings, to do sculptures that are in character and scale with the design of the building. And the principles of design in architecture and in art are the same; Tech has a very fine creative drawing department headed by John Hardy—they draw from models and still-life, learning crea­tive composition in all media. At Tech a stu­dent gets architecture and fine arts training for five years. Besides that, in my art apprecia­tion classes we've been studying the principles of African art and having student participation for 15 years—students at other schools are just now seeking these things. One thing I do think Tech needs, though, is more art appreciation courses for all students. The more you know the more you enjoy life; I've always felt I missed a great deal by not having a music appreciation course."

And what did his years at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts add?

"The Academy offered very narrow training in exact, academic study of nature, but from this solid training a person could stylize and simplify and work down the scale on his own. I wouldn't teach that way; I would include some training in totally abstract art divorced from anatomy, because that's a great way to teach the principles of design. I teach a course in three dimensional design, and you should see some of the creative work those students come up with. I'd like to publish a book some day featuring their work. But as for the train­ing of sculptors, nowadays some art schools teach only in the abstract field—just go out to the junk yard, get a pile of scrap, and weld it together," he declared sarcastically. "An artist or sculptor needs to Irave training and discipline in the entire range of techniques

running from near-realistic all the way to totally non-objective art. A lot of modern artists have never modeled from a live figure; they should have learned nature, then diverted. How can a person stylize nature without know­ing nature? It's like a person trying to become a composer without learning the scales."

Harris on creativity: "Children are born with wonderful creativi­

ty. One of my little girls was wearing braces on her teeth, and one day when we were having dinner in a restaurant the waiter set the table with a bent fork. She picked it up, looked at it, and said 'we need to take this fork to Dr. Thad (Morrison) to have its teeth straight­ened.' Another time she took a look at a softly rounded sculpture I had done of the madonna and child, and exclaimed 'Oh, she looks like she's all wrapped in love!' Now, that's creative thinking.

"A lot of people come to me all thrilled about noticing artistic tendencies in their chil­dren, asking what they should do to encourage their development. I tell them to leave 'em alone. Make materials available to them, and leave 'em alone. It's a mistake to overen-courage artistic inclinations. If the child is to be an artist, he will become one without pushing. There are too many unhappy profes­sional artists in the world who should be selling shoes. Hitler tried unsuccessfully to be a paint­er—kept trying in frustration even though he lacked talent—and the only painting he ever sold was to a Jew. I guess we always hate people we feel obligated to.

"But in the business of fostering creativity in students or in children, the teacher should never do their work for them. He should show them all the possibilities of the materials, then treat them like a bowling ball rolling down the alley . . . don't guide it, but when it strays toward the gutter just give it a gentle tap. Some critics overcriticize and stymie students' work. A teacher should 'inspire' the student if he can, but I'm not sure there's any formula for that.

"Every child is born with creativity, but too many mothers and teachers kill it by insisting on the child copying rather than allowing him to interpret. Creativity is God-given; all man can do is develop it or kill it." fj

Harris was willing to take a chance and explore his interest in sculpture early in his career, a gamble that has paid off.

Georgia Tech's basketball team ran the gamut of emotions during the first half of the season. Coaches, players and fans experienced everything from exasperation to exhilaration as the Yellow Jackets won 13 of their first 17 games and once again established themselves as a post-season tournament candidate.

Highlights included beating Georgia in Athens and Florida State in Tallahassee. Forgettable moments included a weird loss at Virginia and a slaughter at Southern Illinois. The first of the latter must be qualified because of some strange happenings, the second can be written off as a bad afternoon in little Egypt.

It's more enjoyable to write and read about good things, so we'll discuss those first. And, happily, they far outnumber the disappointments. Tech began the season in a scheduling quirk, playing three games in four days, two on the infamous basketball road. The Jackets warmed up by dumping Southern Methodist, 91-77, behind Rich Yunkus' 30 and Jim Thome's 20 points. Yunkus, performing on a bad ankle, led a second-half surge that routed the Mustangs. Forty-eight hours later in Athens town Tech and Georgia showed what the game is all about. The rivals put on a brilliant display of basketball, especially in the first half, that will be remembered as one of the finest in the long series. The Jackets recorded a rare win in Athens, 97-88, but it wasn't easy. Georgia sliced an 11-point deficit to two at intermission by shooting 62% rand it wasn't until Yunkus tossed in 13 straight Tech qxrints midway through the second half that the Jackets gained control. No less than nine players hit double figures as the unstoppable Yunkus scored 40 and his roommate, Thorne, again 20.

Then the fun started. The Jackets traveled all the way to Oklahoma the very next morning to meet

dangerous Oklahoma City that evening. The contest began on a technical foul (a slight advantage when the opposing center is seven feet tall) when a Chief dunked the ball in pre-game warmups, but Tech's 3-0 lead was wiped out in a hurry and the Jackets trailed by 13 points late in the second half. Somehow the Jackets found enough reserve energy to pull out their third consecutive victory, 74-73, in the closing seconds. Another technical against OCU and Tom Hyder's steal and Thome's subsequent basket were instrumental in the Engineer rally.

The Jackets returned to Atlanta for exams before beating Auburn in Birmingham, 87-76. Tech converted 37 of 47 free throws as the Tiger defenders repeatedly were forced to foul to prevent easy Jacket baskets. Yunkus, connecting time and again from the top of the key, led the way with 33 points, but that wasn't the true story. The senior center was on the bench with three personals when the Jackets rallied to take the lead late in the first half. Thome's defensive effort on stellar guard John Mengelt (22 points) was another vital factor.

Tech primed itself for the Gator Bowl with a 72-58 decision over the stubborn Charlotte branch of North Carolina. It wasn't until the Jackets blanked the visitors 19-0 over a few-minute stretch of the second half that the issue was settled. Tech's sixth trip to the Gator Bowl proved good and bad. The Jackets came from behind to beat Florida, 69-58, only to lose the championship to then unbeaten and nationally-ranked St. Bonaventure, 70-68. Tech played three-quarters of its first loss without Thome, who sprained an ankle and was to miss the next two games. Yunkus was named the toumment's Most Valuable Player.

After the holidays Tech zipped through one of its busiest basketball periods in a long time. The Jackets played seven games in 13 days and won five of them, losing only to

powerful Kansas and strong Virginia. Yunkus, as everyone knew he would, became Georgia Tech's all-time leading scorer with 24 points in an 82-72 win over Rice. That gave him 1,631 for his career, three more than all-America guard Roger Kaiser compiled in 80 games in 1959-1961. Yunkus got his in 60 contests. Tech routed Maine, 99-52, and then bombed Clemson, 72-55, when Yunkus scored 35 points after saying he wasn't going to worry about his scoring anymore. Bob (Peanut) Murphy, a 6-2 sophomore starting his third game, grabbed 13 rebounds.

Reserve forward George Small threw in 11 points, all in the second half, and Tech withstood a Tulane rally to win in New Orleans, 77-67. But then disaster struck. Kansas, big, strong, quick and good-shooting Kansas, shocked the 10-1 Jackets, 84-71, in front of an Alexander. Memorial Coliseum crowd of 7,454. The Engineers never could solve K.TJ.'s zone, hit just 35%, and lost the board battle, 52-29. Murphy's 19 points and 11 rebounds were the only bright spots. The Jackets rebounded with their second win over Auburn, 90-81, behind Yunkus' 37 points, but again there were more heroes. The Tigers had overcome an 11-point deficit to go ahead, 78-77, with four minutes left, but Small and guard Frank Samoylo (who had worked his way into the starting lineup) got four key points each to ensure the win.

Tech's 89-84 setback at Virginia was different, to say the least. Coach Whack Hyder, in his 20th year on the Flats, was dismissed from the floor with three technical fouls for the first time in his career. "You'll have to go back a long time to find such a strange game in ACC basketball," Hyder said. "Believe me, it's not a good feeling to have to stand in an empty hallway and know the game is going on a few feet away, but not knowing what's happening." Hyder was awarded his technicals ostensibly for checking

with the scorer when a Tech basket wasn't recorded, for standing up to instruct one of his players, and for calmly trying to find out why the second technical had been called. Oh well, that's how it goes on the road.

The Jackets, as they had been doing all year, employed an effective defense to belt Clemson a second time, 74-64, and then snap Florida State's 21-game home court winning streak, 85-67. The Engineers jumped off to a 7-0 lead before the Seminoles realized what hit them, led 52-36 at intermission and coasted in from there. Yunkus scored 30, Murphy 18, and Thome 15 in a balanced attack that also saw Howard Thompson get eight points and 10 important rebounds. The last team to win at Tully Gym? —none other than Georgia Tech two years ago.

The following week, however, was a complete reversal. The Jackets' invasion of Southern Illinois, a return home for Yunkus, proved disastrous. SIU's box-and-one handcuffed Tech and resulted in a 89-69 embarrassment. All certainly

was not lost, though, and the 13-4 Jackets entered the latter stages of the 1970-71 season looking forward to the Charlotte Doubleheader, a trip to Hawaii and possibly a couple of extra games at the end.

Several former Georgia Tech football players and assistant coaches have made recent job changes. Pepper Rodgers left the head job at Kansas for the same position at UCLA. Bill Fulcher, an assistant at Florida last year, is Tampa's new head coach, while Bo Hagan left Rice to become an administrative assistant at South Carolina. Bob Bossons, a former Rice assistant, has joined the Duke staff, and Dub Fesperman moved from Massachusetts to Dartmouth. Bob Thalman was promoted to head coach at VMI and Chick Graning joined Fulcher at Tampa. Eric Wilcox is now a graduate student assistant at Southern Methodist. At last report, former Miami head coach Charlie Tate had entered the sporting goods business.

The First Radio Dance. Way back in 1922 when Radio

was in its swaddling clothes, someone hit upon the idea of holding a dance, having the Ga. Tech Band broadcast the music from the campus with the idea it be picked up at one of the clubs here in Atlanta.

While not too many alumni know, the great Dance impessario Arthur Murray is an Alumnus of Tech and at the time was a student at the old school and running a dancing class for young people in the basement of the Georgian Terrace Hotel. Jimmy Johnston, John O.

of the Arthur Murray-Capital City Club radio broadcast, as per George Griffin's request, in his last report to the Class of 1922, which looked like it had been typed on a piece of stale bread.

However, the part about the Broadcast was reasonably decipher­able and, on account of it, I am emboldened to try my own luck on the typewriter, as I realize the anxiety with which the world is waiting for these advices.

Arthur Murray had a dancing class which he called The Club de Vingt (probably because it had

clamped on, the wire tripping up the rest of the dancers. They were thus able to hear the Tech Band play hundreds of choruses of "Ramblin' Wreck".

They may also have played "Up with the White and Gold", but not while I was listening.

I remember remarking to myself that, while this new invention made the band sound worse than usual, it at least spared one the necessity of sitting there and looking at it. 1922 was a particularly good year for unlovely bandsmen.

On this basis alone I predicted

in Athens. I doubt this very seriously,

however, as he is noticeably unreliable and given to extreme exaggeration.

Hope that this finds you well and prosperous. How did you happen to land in Birmingham? Everybody else in the class, according to George's accounts, is either in New York or Brazil.

In any case, my best regards, and I hope you turn up much more fascinating news of the First Radio Broadcast.

Sincerely yours, Leon R. Levy

Dear Sirs: During this drug use environment

to which the youth of today are subjected, it would seem that every advantage should be taken of any suitable means to show and emphasize the lifetime physical thrill and ebullience of avoiding the use of drugs and other harmful temporary stimulants except for necessary medical purposes.

Therefore, as an adjunct to the homecoming football game for the 50th reunion of my class of 1921, I hereby challenge to a demonstration run during halftime of any distance from 1 and V4 to 1 and % miles any member of the classes that were at Tech at the same time as the Class of '21, namely the classes of '18, '19, '20, '21, '22, and '23, and '24.

I imagine the time consumed will average between 7 and 8 minutes per mile. Hop Owens, McCluskey, Foucha, and Guyon are the names of some good runners whose names I recall offhand.

If the authorities consider such an event appropriate, all participants should be examined by the school physician before being allowed to participate. Also, this challenge of the Class of '21 should be broadcast to the Classes included in the challenge as soon as possible in order that the participants will have plenty of time to train for the event.

Cordially Yours, Allen Haskell Class of 1921

Dear Mr. Haskell: Your letter was discussed by the

Executive Committee at a recent meeting and we were all intrigued with your challenge to a demonstration run at halftime at Homecoming. I am sure it would create a great deal of interest on the part of our football crowd but I am afraid we are too conservative to undertake such an event. While you are in excellent condition, and in spite of possible physical examination, the Executive Committee felt that the likelihood of a heart attack by men in their 70s would be pretty good and should it occur would leave us wide open to considerable criticism. I believe that possibly Joe Guyon might be in good enough condition to run with you, but the others possibly not.

We hate to appear negative about such an interesting suggestion, but this was the feeling of the entire committee. We certainly would not want to issue the challenge unless we were going to go through with it.

We look forward to having you with us on the occasion of your 50th Anniversary and hope that you will enjoy yourself in spite of not being able to run this race. Very best regards.

Yours truly, W. Roane Beard

* * * Dear Mr. Beard:

Your letter of January 15 was such a gem of tact and good nature that I feel impelled to express my appreciation. I understand, of course, and appreciate the caution of the Executive Committee.

My better half is so highly amused that she wants to preserve my letter and your delightful reply so the grandchildren she hopes to have some day may see what an eccentric old fellow they had for a grandad.

Since no copy was made of my letter, would you be kind enough to return it to us, if you still have it.

Thank you again for your enjoyable letter.

Cordially Yours, Allen Haskell Class of 1921

Dear Mr. Moon,

I read with some interest the latest copy of the Alumni magazine. The article that particularly amused me was the one entitled, "A Profile of George P. Burdell, '72."

Any one who has gone to an engineering school has probably had to endure the famous and unimaginative first day of orientation speech that includes the statement, "Look to the right and the left of you, one of you guys is not going to graduate, and probably will flunk out the freshman year." I have talked with engineers from many schools over the world, including my father who graduated from Edinborough Polytechnic, the British Army Engineers school. They have all heard that same line. It must have been handed down by Hannibal or earlier primitive engineer. So you start out with a little wonder about which guy you are going to be. My lowest grade in an all academic high school was a 94, and yet I was astonished when I finished the first year at Tech with an acceptable point average.

Incidentally, I worked from twenty to thirty hours a week while going to school, and carried an average load of 18 hours, although the last four quarters I carried 21 per quarter.

My point is, the computers and other equipment may evolve in sophistication, but the teaching methods and attitudes of the teachers remain as primitive as possible. I can count on one hand the teachers I considered to have the vaguest interest in what they were teaching. Most of them seem to think it was an easy way to make a living and have petty power over youngsters who were too scared to make trouble and fight back. Most of us just wanted to get our paper and run. It's certainly not an environment to encourage imagination or openness. When I first began, I was stupid enough to admit I had a dream, and it became the basis for many C.E. department jokes. Of course, since I was bright enough to get into the school and support myself and my mother and stay in school, I was

30 The Georgia Tech Alumnus

also smart enough to get wise and parrot the par ty lines by the t ime I was a junior.

I would never have admit ted a t the t ime that I subscribed to the symphony and the Metropoli tan. Once I put out the propaganda that I was a lightweight par ty girl, things got a lot easier.

Believe me, I do not condone the destruction of property, nor do I believe a campus is the place for political activism, but I sure would have enjoyed a riot or two in my time to have layed on a few good licks on one especial teacher of mine.

So I would suggest tha t your mister Burdell may have enough smarts not to let the system know

Besides that, Georgia Tech was cheap.

But, I would suggest that you and no other person who represents power to a s tudent is likely to know that he thinks. He ' s as well programmed in the presence of the establishment as any computer or trained animal. H e will give you what he thinks you expect.

Yours truly, Eve R. (Tevander) Schwartz Class of '67.

Dear Mr . Moon:

Then came the big day, and on Sanford's field,

NEW PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARSHIP

Georgia Tech will begin its first Presidential Scholarship Program for entering freshmen in the fall of 1971. Twenty-five awards of $500 each will be granted to outstanding students who have been admitted to Tech on or before March 15 of each year. The awards are made possible through a grant from a private industry.

Recipients will be selected on the basis of their high school average, College Board Aptitude Test scores, academic and community leadership, class standing and financial need. Preference will be given to engineering students from Georgia, with approximately 75 per cent of the awards being granted to state residents. During their freshman year, presidential scholars will meet with top administrators from Tech and with the sponsor of the awards to discuss career objectives and related topics.

TECHNOLOGY WEEK National leaders in education,

industry and government visited Georgia Tech in late February to discuss technology's role in the environmental crisis.

Republican Senator Charles Percy of Illinois delivered the keynote address on "The Environmental Crisis". Former Secretary of the Interior Walter Hickel made his first public speaking engagement since his dismissal by President Nixon in late 1970. Hickel spoke on "Government's Role in Environmental Management."

President Edward Cole of Gerieral Motors Corporation discussed "Industry's Role'in Environmental Management." Harold Finger, assistant secretary for Science and Technology, HUD, considered technology's role in environmental problems, while Dr. David Rose, director of long-range planning for Oak Ridge National Laboratories, , concentrated on education's role in the crisis.

The three-day conference consisted of major addresses, panel discussions and technological exhibits. Technology Week, which coincided with National Engineers Week, grew out of a proposal by students last summer which sought positive means of dealing with environmental problems.

TECH ALUMNI GIVING TIPS The generosity of Georgia Tech

alumni has placed Tech in the top ten in three of nine categories which indicate the extent of private support for public education in 1968-69.

In an analysis of 256 public colleges and universities, Tech was fourth on the list of alumni givers, ninth on the list of total gifts and third on the list of percentage of response.

The listings were contained in a report issued every two years by G. A. Brakeley & Company, Inc., of New York. The corporation provides professional fund-raising counsel to organizations and institutions in education, the arts and health.

In the analysis entitled "Voluntary Support for Public Higher Education", Georgia Tech was in the top ten in the number of alumni who give annually (17,581); in the amount of gifts annually ($552,317); and in the percentage of persons giving annually (52.1 per cent).

NEW DEAN FOR SOUTHERN TECH Dr. Walter O. Carlson, formerly

acting dean of Georgia Tech's College of Engineering, has been appointed dean of Southern Tech by the Board of Regents. Dr. Carlson, a professor of mechanical engineering at Georgia Tech, will assume his new duties April 1.

Dr. Carlson received the Bachelor of Aeronautical Engineering, the Master of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees from the Uni­versity of Minnesota. He will retain his professorial rank at Georgia Tech.

Hoyt L. McClure, director of South­ern Tech since 1961, was appointed associate dean. He has served in teaching and administrative positions there for 10 years. Mr. McClure earned the Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees at Georgia Tech.

A Georgia Tech Student Center Committee has invented a cure for a common problem on college campuses—winter quarter doldrums.

DuPONT GRANTS Georgia Tech has been awarded

science and engineering grants totalling $17,500 by E. I. Du Pont De Nemours and Company. The grants, part of Du Pont's 1971 educational aid program, were given to four schools at the Institute.

A $7,500 grant was awarded to the School of Chemical Engineering. Dr. Grover L. Bridger, director of the School, said the unrestricted grant will be used to fund a graduate research project. The $5,000 grant to the School of Mechanical Engineering will be used to further graduate studies, according to Dr. Stothe P. Kezios, director.

Dr. William M. Spicer, director of the School of Chemistry, said a specific use of the $2,500 grant to his school has not yet been determined.

Possible uses of the $2,500 grant to the School of Electrical Engineering include assistance for undergraduates or purchase of equipment beyond normal financial resources, according to Director Dr. Demetrius T. Paris.

LARGEST JOINT FUND IN HISTORY

Even as the 1970 Joint Tech-Georgia Development Fund drew to a close, plans were underway for an even greater effort in 1971.

General Chairmen F. M. Bird and Jack F. Glenn expressed genuine appreciation to the 813 firms who contributed a total of $498,348 in the 1970 drive, and to

the Georgia Tech and University of Georgia alumni volunteers who gave countless hours of their time and efforts.

"In spite of the fact that 1970 was not considered a 'good business year', the work of these volunteers and contributors resulted in the highest total in the Joint Fund's 15 year history," said Glenn. "This is an indication of their concern for quality education in Georgia."

The final reports for 1970 pointed out the involvement of many types of businesses and individuals in building a better faculty system at the State's two leading educational facilities.

and contributors' belief in the Joint Fund and what it means to better quality education in Georgia."

"For the new year," he added, "we hope to take that belief, add to it a better economy, and tell our story wider, farther and more in depth—to the end result of an even greater salary supplement in 1971. In other words, what we want is more top quality professors, greater national academic rating; and an even prouder finish for the current year to continue the great job done by the 1970 workers."
