Engineering College Improves
Study Course to Help Students
In order to equip its graduates
with a greater administrative
capacity, the University's En
gineering college is revising its
course of study for the purpose
of improving the technical pro
ficiency of the department, Dean
Roy M. Green stated yesterday,
The revision is based on faculty
research and a recently completed
survey of a hand-picked group of
144 nationally prominent en
gineers. The majority of the en
gineers said these were the non
technical courses they needed
most and didn't get enough of in
college; English composition, pub
lic speaking, business law, per
sonnel, labor relations and eco
nomics, listed in that order of
importance.
Technical Courses.
In technical courses, the men
stated, their professional experi
ences revealed these as most
valuable: physics, algebra, trig
onometry, engineering, drawing,
end mechanics of materials.
Dean Green said the revised
eourse of study would emphasize
particularly these ten subjects;
(1) a graduate engineer must
not only be well grounded in
professional training but must
also be able to transmit his
knowledge either in written re
ports or talks; and (2) that en
gineering careers vary greatly, as
does the profession itself, demon
ton's music may be heard there
as well as in the ballroom.
Look magazine this month pre
dicted that the Kenton band
would be the outstanding band of
1946. The blond, 6 feet 4 inch or
chestra leader will bring a 20
piece orchestra, featuring June
Christy and Jean Howard as vo
calists. The band leader will leave the
Palladian in Los Angeles this
week for Frank Daley's Meadow
Brook in New Jersey. His latest
recordings are "Artistry Jump"
and "JustA-Sittin' and A-Rock-in'."
Ag Sox Social
Collects $100
For WSS Fund
Over $100 was collected from
the sale of sox at the Sox Social
held in the activities building on
Ag campus Friday night.
The proceeds of the affair will
be turned over to the World Stu
dent Service Fund. First prize, a
pair of nylon hose, was won by
Eleanor Johnson, president of
Amikatas, whose sock brought the
most money. Miss Johnson, after
winning the hose, turned them
back to the auctioneer to barter
off to the highest bidder. The hose
finally brought $8.00.
Florence Arnold and La Rayne
Steyer tied for second place and
Miss Arnold lost the pair of .51
gage rayon hose by flipping a
coin. Phyllis Ross was the third
prize winner with a pair of ank
lets as an award.
Love Memorial hall, with $49.50,
won the trophy awarded to the
house whose sox brought the most
money.
Inter-Fraternity Council
There wil be an Inter-Fraternity
council meeting: Mon
day at 5 p. m. in parlor X of
the Union, according: to Fred
Ilecox.
strating the nogd for a graduate
to have a well-rounded basic
knowledge of physics, mathe
matics and material upon which
to build his technical training
through actual practical practice
in the field.
No Longer Technical.
The questionnaire, Dean Green
said, demonstrates too that en
gineers are no longer an ex
clusively "high top boot and
wdolen shirt" profession devoted
entirely to technical matters.
The dean declared, "Today's en-
gioeers must not only.be a tech
nician, but an able administrator.
He must also possess a working
knowledge of the society in which
he lives because his work now
is related to so many social and
economic phases of our society.
He must be a useful, informed
citizen to perform his job com
petently. We hope to achieve this
end by giving students a broader
base upon which to pyramid their
professional experiment."
The contemplated revision here
would assist the engineer in meet
ing problems now common to en
gineers such as;, apprasing the
economic worth of engineering
works; organizing effectively in
dividuals employed on engineer
ing jobs; explain engineering
projects to the public and a readi-,
ness to give intelligent service
in the improvement of home,
church, school and state. 1
