Professiona I Promotions

Eleven members of the Cal­tech faculty have been promot­ed by action of the trustees, President Lee A. DuBl'jdge an · nounced last Saturday, All pro­motions become effective July 1.

Those promoted are: Albert Tyler from associate professor to professor of embryology; Dan H. Campbell from associate pro­fessor to professor of immuno· chemistry; Verner Schomaker from associate professor to pro­fessor of chemistry; Thomas Lauritsen from ass istant to as­sodate professor of phys ics; Leverett Davis J r. from assistant to associate professor of theo· relical physics; Rober t F, Chris­ty from associate professor to professor of theoretical phys ics.

J. Kent Clark from instructor to assistant professor of Eng· lish; Lester McCrery from in­struc tor to assistan t pl'Ofessor of English -and public speaking; H. N. Tyson from assistan t to as· sociate professor of mechanical engineering; Rolf Sabel'sky from instructor to aSSistant professor of mechanical engineering; R. H . MacNeal from instructor to as­sistan t professor of eJectrjcaJ en· gineering.

Architecture Div. Needs Engineers

Lack of on-the·job, practical ex­perience need not prevent sen­ior engineering majors from ap' plying for positions with the State Division of Architecture, according to the State Person· nel Board 's recrUi ting staff. Cali. fornia 's building program is so extensive as to warrant the ployment of additional person­nel in the cons truction field.

An examina tion for Junior Construction Inspector is to be held July 15th which has been specifica lly designed to attract seniOr students majoring in g ineering who desire an oppor­tuni ty for professional growth and promotion.

Sturt \\'i t h $341 .. ~5

Junior inspection jobs may lead to positions as an ass istant with a salary ral1ge of $341-$415, l:i"ur ther advancement is th rough steps to Associate and Senior Construction Supervisors having opening salaries of $415 and $481.

Applicat ions are being accept­ed for the Junior Cons truc tion Inspector jobs Until June 24th, and must be filed with the State Personnel Board offi ces in Sac· ramen to, San Francisco or Los Angeles before tha t date, Ap­pojntments w jJJ be made to va­cancies occurring throughout California when the examina· tions have been completed and the employment list established.

Examination bu lletins with de· tai led information are available at tJle Placement Office as well as the official a pplication forms.

Main Attraction At Air Symposium

To determine the flight char­acteristics of ai rplanes and guid­ed missiles, more than 50 scien­tists, aerodynamicists and aero­nautical engineers gathered on the Tech campus last F riday fot' a Symposium on the Application of the Electric Analog Computer to the Structural Problems of Aircraft.

Mechanical Bl'ain Main item of interest for the

Sym posium was the 33,000·pound mechanical brain located on the campus, and under the d irection of Dr. G. D. McCann, professor of electri cal engineering,

Those attending were told how problems which had pre· vious ly taken men with ordinary computers months and even years to sol ve can now be done in a few days 0 1' weeks at most, thanks to the capabili ties of the Tech Com puter.

Am<tzing Solutions How an ail'p lane, or any sec·

t ion of it, or the control mecha­nism of a gu ided missile, wlll react under any condit ions can now be solved with the "brain."

"It is now possible to check the design of a new plane from conception to completion using the Analog Computer, 1t will solve ce rta in problems no othel' type can hand le and give an ana lysis that cannot be obtained in a ny other way," Dr. McCann said.

women of the world? This is one question every Techman would like to have answe red.

Miriam Coyle-Tech men make good husbands.

With utmost respect and reo gard for the in terests of the Cal­tech student body, our little tab­loid has undertaken a brief but

informative survey of the views of the campus secretaries on the above ques tion.

The first interview we was wi th an attractive, but per­haps relafively little known* sec­retary in Dabney Ha ll. Hallet Smith's secretary's name is Mary McNamee.

"I like Tech men," she said. "But why?" I said. "Because he's more interesled

in his work and has broader in­terests," she said.

"Tell me more!" "Well, contrary to popular

opinion, the average Techman is not a bookworm or a grind. He seems to have many interests and seems less bored with his work. There d oesn't seem to be the 'Joe ColIege' type of attitude here."

Chamber Musician

Mary admits that there some pills here and there bu t she believes the percen tage is considerably lower than at most colleges. Mary gives CaJtech men a ll the honors when comparing them to those she knew at Po­mona and USC while going to school. All but one honor, that is: The orchestra and glee club don't seem to be getting enough support.

Mary plays the viola and goes in for chamber music, inciden­tally, She wiII be a fea tured per­former at next Sunday's cham­ber music concert in Culbertson.

ever powers that be who decided that too long has the Beaver been a lone in the world of programs, schedules, and li t tle pink registration cards. The occasion for this panegyric is the change in pre-registration procedures.

The change is occasioned by the assignment of each student to a faculty advisor, who it seems, will probably offer some advice, and help when the time comes to choose a program. Such help is needed, not only in the specific problems raised by choosing among courses within an elective, but also in the more general problem of choosing an option.

Such a system of advisors assigned to eacl1 student, lays the way for a far more personal, and therefore better, relationship be­tween the Institute and the student. Although Cal tech never could lay claim to being an educational factory, this advisor system will be even one mote step in the direction of an ideal individua lized relationship between the Institute and the undergraduate.

How Green Wtls'My ... We fear that the sma ll plot of grass, graciously planted out­

side the M]]} Building by this year's Senior Class, is headed for a disgraceful end.

So Soddy Please The two or three square feet of sad, firs t harbingers of the

Great Caltech Lawn Insurrection, have been growing browner, day by day, while an apathetic and unsympathetic student body passes them by without so much as a glance.

The Smoggy, Smoggy Dew Ice-plant seems to thrive on smog, but grass needs water­

regularly-and it isn't gOing to get any from the green and purple jungle which surrounds it.

Certainly there must be some freshman in the houses who could be con vinced of the benefits of perpetuating this minute but hopeful semblance of civilization, and who could give it its daily ablutions. A large can-full of water, administered every morning on the way to class, should be sufficient. B. \V_
