Randy quotes Bill Dayton, Yale trainer, as having said, “I saw more coach ing at Yale in a week than I did in a year at my old job at Texas A&M”. Wonder if Dayton was one of the gents Bear ran off three years ago ? Oh yes fellows you might be in terested to know that Yale’s as sistant Coach, Fritz Barzilauskas, was a top lineman on the 1946 Eli team. With a name like that he should have played for Notre Dame. ★ ★ Charles Davis lost his ther mometer in plant physiology lab last Thursday.

Fasc ism is where you have two cows: The government kills you and takes the cows. New Dealism is where you have two cows; you kill one and milk the other and then pour the milk down the drain. Cap italism is where you have two cows, you sell one and buy a bull, that’s free enterprise.” \r AND HIS ORCHESTRA Playing His Famous Mercury Record Hits “CARAVAN” and “PRETEND” CONCERT . . 7:15 GUION HALL $1.00 — All Seats — $1.00 Stay After Concert and See Complete Movie Bill DANCE—SBISA—9:00 P.

What young people are doing at General Electric V A e)e< ABdfi Young matliematician helps pace engineering advances Recently General Electric developed a compact, new motor for industrial use. But before the motor could be put into automatic production, one difficulty remained: to de sign a protective end shield that would con fine any possible explosion to the motor itself. The man who solved the tough mathemat ical problems involved is R. A. “Pete” Powell — a mathematical analyst whose job is to as sist other engineers in math problems which arise in any number of different projects. Powell’s Work Is Varied and Important Because he is not tied down to any one project, Powell seldom has two similar as signments. Taking established engineering and mathematical principles, some of them extremely complicated, Powell applies them to advanced engineering problems. In doing this, Pete is able to make such calculations as the distortion of a small part of a jet engine caused by vibrations, the deflection occurring in a turbine part when it runs at operational speeds, or the forces exerted upon a rotating shaft by lubricants. 27,000 College Graduates at General Electric When “Pete” Powell came to General Elec tric in 1953, he already knew the kind of work he wanted to do. Like each of our 27,000 college-graduate employees, he is being given the chance to grow and realize his full potential. For General Electric has long believed this: Whenever fresh young minds are given freedom to make progress, everybody benefits — the individual, the Company, and the country. Educational Relations, General Electric Company, Schenectady 5, New York ******** ~ ASd* R ■ ■iMm % R. A. "PETE" POWELL joined General Electric in 1953 after receiving bis B.S. in Physics in ’47 and his M.S. in Mathematics in’49, both from Purdue. From 1949-52 he completed further study in Physics again at Purdue. Progress Is Our Most Important Product .7 •’ GENERAL® ELECT
