An education, consisting of more than just book learning, includes participation in some of the many or- ganizations and clubs on the campus, fraternity and soror- ity life, athletics, Tuck Shop meetings, dates, etc. Also illustrating the attributes of a good leader is the ability to possess a winning personality and make friends easily. When the graduates of Pitt leave the University, they will take with them forever the many memories of college life. Representing these many activities, the Owl has ‘.

One of the more fortunate students gets the card she wants. Lines are a common sight during registration. Students wait to get their card sets which have to be filled out inevitably. Pitt has long been lacking adequate facilities along athletic lines. The remedy to this situation has been the field house. Containing a gymnas- tics room, a wrestling room, spacious locker rooms and locker room facilities, and one of the most beautiful floors in college basketball, the Pitt Memorial field house fast became the center of student athletic activities at Pitt. Now nearing completion, the Gateway Center is approaching the goal that Pittsburgh has set for herself. That goal being the advance of the city to the pinnacle of industrial transactions and beauty. The Buildings supply a tremen- dous amount of office space, while the gateway as a whole beautifies the Point area with their silvery cleanness of line. was :23}: 333333;: "sag was I! I?! I?!

These courses give to the student a wide scope covering all the necessary qualifications for a business life that will lead to a secure future. Also, the school for the first time this year has offered majors. This is a long step in the direction of specialization, which is in demand by firms and industries of today. These specialized fields, some of which are; real estate, finance, marketing, and insurance. These fields which before had only been covered generally, have now been treated with the detail deserved a complicated affair such as they are. The School of Business Administration hav- ing shown itself to be progressive will not rest on its laurels, but will continue forward as it has in the past. The balance sheet and P & L statements are familiar words to all Business Administration students, for each one must take at least one year of accounting. Dean Lanfear, who efficiently guides the School of Business Administration, is always glad to help the students with any of their individual problems. Progress cannot be denoted by physical things alone. The Cathedral represents a great part of what might be called unseen progress. With the use of only their training and minds the men of this university have built greater things. Meaning, the minds of the students at Pitt. For what greater edifice has ever been constructed for the good of mankind? No building, however large or impressive, can equal the human mind. And the training of these minds is the most important iob that has ever existed. It is the most vital part of the progress at Pitt. This movement is always advancing and has done so ever since the inauguration of the university. Though in this book we cannot take pictures of this development, we can only tell you that it is going on.

Housing equipment and instruments for advanced research in nuclear physics, the lab works closely with the physics department in the never-ending search for knowledge in the atomic field. The lab was one of the first buildings erected under Pitt's plan to increase its capabilities for scientific research. High atop the hill, near Pitt Stadium, one of the country's newest and most modern hospitals is being erected to house the thousands of war veterans still undergoing treatment for battle injuries. With present VA hospitals filled to overflowing, the University tore down the Old Trees Gym in order to make space available for the government hospital which will increase the services presently rendered by Aspinwall and Deshon VA medical facilities. Newly completed and costing $4,750,000, one of the latest additions to the University's rapidly growing Medical Center is this home for resident nurses. The formal dedication of the structure took place in April of l953 but due to pressing needs, nurses were moved into the building as fast as facilities were available, and before the finishing touches had been made to equip it for full-scale operations. 126 PATRICIA ANN B.

History courses such as this U. S. Survey Class conducted by Mr. Huston are among the most popular of the social science courses. Progress has sprung to the fore in the College with the introduction i11 1955 of the core curricu- lum program. This program, an entirely new con- cept in education at Pitt, will consist of four “cores”; communication skills, introduction to humanities, social sciences, and physical sciences. This plan, which will give a well rounded person- ality grounded in fundamental fields. The Uni- versity has brought this forward as a service to the students of the College who will benefit tremen- dously from its fine advantages. The College also offers courses in its fields to students of all the other schools. The College has striven, since its founding in 1789, to give its students a desire for knowledge and an instinct to feel a personal re- sponsibility for the advancement of the cultural welfare of his community be it university, city or family.

In classes like elementary arts, education students gain Valuable skill for instructing their future students through practical ex- perience. Mr. Grubbs instructs some of the Business Education students in the correct procedures for high school teaching. Boasting one of the largest enrollments in the undergraduate schools at the University of Pitts- burgh, the School of Education offers four spe- cialized courses of study to the prospective teach- er. After two years and 62 credits earned in the College, students may apply for admission to the school and pursue their degree in Secondary Education, Physical Education, Elementary Edu- cation or Business Education. During the first two years in the college, the education student schedules English, geography, biology, history and other related courses in the sciences and general education. The student then continues his studies in the school and at the same time schedules observation classes in schools, prepares lesson plans, and does student teaching. In gen- eral, they do everything a teacher must do in actual practice. ‘ During one semester of their senior year each Education stu- dent conducts classes in one of the Pittsburgh schools, such as this chemistry class at Schenley High School. Samuel P. Franklin, Dean of Education, enjoys the interesting work with the future teachers. Panhellenic Choir, directed by Dottie Jacobs, is composed of two girls from each sorority. They sang throughout the ceremony. 14% ALLEN G. MAJESKI Bus. Admin. WILLIAM H. MALCOLM, JR. Vandergrift, Pa. Bus. Admin. VVILLIAM J. MALL Bus. Admin. CARL R.

Heinz Chapel one of the most beautiful sights in the Oakland district, built in French Gothic architecture, is a meeting place of all religions. Dean Fitterer addresses the joint meeting of all Engineering and Mines seminars, which is held once each semester to present awards to the outstanding senior of each division of the school. E. & M. students hurrying through the new entrance to State Hall, their second home, after a chilly tramp up the hill. Facing the brightest future among all stu- dents are the men of Engineering and Mines going forth with a technical education which is Valuable in any field he chooses. Now the administration of the university has brought forth the expansion of the school. The new Engineering hall which is well under construction will boost Pitt’s already high engineering status. It will contain oflices, classrooms, and in the basement will be the wind tunnel, to be used by the aeronautical engineering department for testing certain airfoil surfaces. Along with all this progress in physical things, teaching has kept right in stride. By keeping up with the latest advances in engineering, the Engi- neering and Mines faculty has been able to trans- fer this knowledge to the student body. Symbolic of the school is the engineering drawing lab. Dean Fitterer has been pleased with the progress made in the plans for the new E. & M. building, which is shown in the architect's drawing in the background.

Engineering School of Dentistry Many of Oakland’s residents, such as this little boy, receive their dental care at the student clinic. In maintaining its status as one of the finest dental schools in the world, the University of Pittsburgh scree11s hundreds of applicants every year and selects only the 96 most capable of the group to enroll in its school. The objective of the school is to select those students best qualified to becoII1e effective den- tists, and to present a curriculum and training program so that every graduate will be qualified and competent to begin the practice of dentistry. Students receive thorough training and dur- ing the last two years he applies this training as he begins working in the clinic. 1896 was the birth date of the Dental School which was at that time called the Pittsburgh Dental College. Since that time it has grown in both size and improved techniques. The present buildings house the most modern teaching appara- tus and dental instruments available. An interested patient looks on as one of the instructors ex- plains how X-rays may be read. The future dentists spend many hours in learning how to make and fit dental plates properly.

Faculty and students formed a closely bonded group and the students themselves handled governmental afl"airs through the Residence Council, a group comprised of representatives from all afliliated groups. As the preclinical period was completed, beginning nursing students were honored at the “Capping cere- mony.” Seniors were honored at the “Black Banding Ceremony,” and final recognition was given the graduating students at the “Pinning Ceremony.” The ability to serve as highly trained nurses and a sense of positive security were just two of the rewards which the students received at the end of their five-year training program. They entered their profession, secure in the knowledge that they had received training which stands second to none in their field. The new Nurses’ Residence provides a wonderful place for the students to relax together in a home like atmosphere. MARGARET S. AUSTIN Pittsburgh, Pa. School of Nursing PATRICIA R.

The Pharmacy School is located off the main campus, and as a result, many stu- dent activities have developed there, either to augment or replace other campus organizations. The student branch of the American Pharmaceutical Association serves to keep the students in close contact with the day-to-day happenings of their profession. Pro1n- inent visiting speakers round out the activities of this group. Student affairs are handled by the Pharmacy Stu- dent Council, the active governing body of the school. The five professional and honorary fraternities have banded together to form the Pharmacy Inter-Fraternity Council, for the purpose of liaison between fraternal groups. In addition, students of the upper two classes have the opportunity of visiting manufacturing plants in other states as well as local pharmacy wholesalers. The combination of work, play, travel, and study makes for full preparation of pharmacy graduates who are equipped to take their places in the ranks of the Health Professions. Dean Edward C. Reif.

On Warm spring afternoons “Pittites” spend hours between The Commons Room is a popular place to meet and talk after classes enjoying the University’s outdoor campus. classes. Regardless of which school in the University students are en- rolled, they can find an unlimited source of material in the libraries. Undergraduates and underdogs! Such might be the case in certain colleges and universities but not at Pitt. It is also frequently the custom to plan a yearbook with total emphasis on graduating seniors. But at Pitt emphasis is placed on the entire student body which makes Pitt the internationally known Uni- versity that it has come to be. Emerson had a phrase for it. “Our knowledge is the amassed thought and experience of innumerable minds.” Undergraduate students become an integral part of the university when they enter their first class and remain a part of Pitt for the rest of their lives. Opportunities for participation in government, publications and all phases of student activity are virtually unlimited to all students, be they freshmen or seniors. An industrious student can often use the study tables in the Commons Room to work on his next assignment. ROBERT J. AIRHART Engineering SARAH A.

Q02 School of Retailing SCHOOL OF RETAILING Professor Sobotka explains fabric construction to a group of textiles students. Advertising managers, buyers, controllers, employment directors—these are the positions for which men and women train at Pitt’s School of Retailing. The year of graduate study is one of concentration on the field of retailing as projected from the points of view of many and varied type stores and from the teachings of professors who themselves have retail experience. The School of retailing has prepared graduate students for careers in retailing for 36 years and from a class of few students has grown to classes of up to one hundred students. Undoubtedly, most of this growth is due to the soundness of the pro- gram. However, Pittsburgh itself is an attraction to students of retailing since Pittsburgh is “The city of department Stores,” having greater de- partment store volume than any other city Of Students of the School in their own retailing library. comparable size.

Generally, they ease the way for students who will hold retailing positions of their own in less time than a year. Students of the School of Retailing have the added advantage of being paid for the time they work in the stores during the school year. The School of Retailing confers the Master of Retailing Degree upon those who meet the re- quirements of the School. The degree is conferred, not on the sole basis of grades earned, but also is based upon individual performance which indi- cates the applicant as good or poor executive material. 204 l-< E Albert B. Smith, Acting Dean, School of Retailing. The School of Retailing is located on the 19th and 20th floors of the Cathedral of Learning. From especially designed classrooms to the housing of the world’s largest library devoted to retailing subjects, the floors have been planned for effective and efficient training of future retail executives. The faculty and administrative offices and the student lounge are also on these floors. Acting as dean is Professor Albert B. Smith who has been associated with the school since 1938 in teaching and administrative capacities. Professor Smith has inspired hundreds of youthful retailers with his own enthusiasm and example of leadershipvvwith his sympathetic understanding, capable direction and guidance.

Seminar are: to encourage young electrical engineers to keep the students in close contact with the practicing field, and to keep the A.I.E.E.’s abreast of the latest developments. In 1915, five seniors, representing the Elec- trical Engineering Department, attended the first seminar of A.I.E.E. Since that time the semi- nar has grown steadily into one of the most ac- tive seminars. The student representation in the chapter is forty times as great as that of the be- ginning class, that is, that the enrollment is now almost two hundred. That figure includes all the juniors and seniors in the Electrical Engineers in the school. On fourth hour each Thursday all EE’s move toward their designated classroom, by doing so being granted one-half credit toward gradua- tion. At these meetings, which all engineers greatly enjoy, movies on some particular subject in elec- trical engineering or speakers who are closely re- lated to electrical engineering in industry put forth the latest developments in electrical engi- neering.

Merged as one, the organiza- tion has two purposes: to keep the members in- formed on the advances in the engineering field and to help the students get the feel of the in- dustry. The A.I.I.E. celebrates its birthday simultaneously with the school of industrial engi- neering here at Pitt. Relaxing at various smokers where everything from football to industry is discussed is a favorite pastime of the engineers. In the spring semester, seminar members all attend the annual senior banquet. Later the same month, the members and their dates sponsor a picnic party for the associa- tion.

Throughout the year, the officers hold in- formal gatherings to acquaint this large gathering with each other. In these meetings, the members form a strong fellowship between themselves and other organizations at Pitt. The organization annually fields a team in the intramural football league and for the past three years has had a place in the final elimination, winning the league championship in two of those years. The Civil Engineers are run in such a way as to give all its members a chance to participate in the planning and staging of the group’s activities. With the officers as a guiding body, committees of students are appointed and given specific assignments to carry out during the semester. “What do you expect for a dime, a turkey dinner?” Pres.

This assistance and guidance is given so that the student can adjust himself to the law school curriculum. The events of the year were brought to a close with the annual dinner in the spring. The society wishes to help anyone whom they think will work intelligently and is able to cope with the diflicult problems that will face him in the future at law school.

Dr. Masoner Since 1926 Kappa Phi Kappa, national honorary education fraternity for men, has been active on Pitt’s Campus. The first chapter Alpha, was founded in 1922 at Dartmouth College. Since then, the fraternity has expanded until there are now fifty—three chapters throughout the country. Social activities, scholastic attainment, profession- al ideals are the goals toward which Kappa Phi Kappa Works. Under the guidance of l\1r. George W. Hoff- man, Tau Chapter has enjoyed an active year. There was the annual fall smoker and the initiation in December at a formal banquet. The chapter also held a Spring initiation this year and a success- ful picnic at North Park. Charles McNutt served as Tau Chapter president during the 1953-54 school year. First Row: D. Vrabec, J.

Kappa Psi was founded in 1879 and since then professional advancement has been their goal. In 1913 Beta Kappa Chapter became active at Pitt and today it joins thirty- four collegiate chapters in advancing profession- alism and fraternalism, making Kappa Psi one of the largest professional fraternities in the United States. Various informal and formal affairs, plus an active pledging period comprised the social calendar for the chapter this year. The Alvin J.

The Pre-Social Work Club at Pitt offers interested students in the field a chance to gain a better understanding of social work as a profes- sion. A pre-professional organization, the club attempts to stimulate interest in the field by sponsoring discussions with faculty members, local agency staff members and visiting national leaders. Lois M. James, chairman of the club, and Dr. Merrill B. Conover, the advisor for the group have tried to set up a program for the many stu- dents who are interested in that type of work but do not plan to pursue social work as a career. Social activities of the organization included dances, picnics in local parks, and what Lois terms “just plain get-togethers.” Pre-Social Work Club Chairman Lois M. James Advisor Dr. Merrill B.

VVilla VVhite, president of Alpha Kappa Alpha, a senior mentor, senior class treasurer and chairman of the student Chapel Board, is a fine example of the busy girls in Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. Together the girls “cultivate and encourage high scholastic and ethical standards, improve the social status of the race, promote unity and friendship among college women.” They all sing very well. This past year has been a busy one for the chapter of AKA at Pitt. In addition to their many philanthropic duties, they also managed to pro- duce one of the most active social seasons ever. Early in the month of October the sorority par- ticipated in the annual Intro-Ball combining other sororities and fraternities on the Pitt cam- pus. At this dance, Negro freshmen are intro- duced to Pitt social life. Q33 alpha iota of Alpha Delta A little harmony around the piano. After the first bustle of the Tuck Shop in September wore off, the ADPi’s were busy with tea dances, hayrides, and the annual Black and White formal in December. Not just thinking of themselves, the girls entertained a group of orphans from a local children’s home at a Christmas party. Fascinating gifts, Santa Claus, and movies provided a de- lightful afternoon for the children and the sorority girls. The boys and girls were reluctant to leave the pretty girls on Bigelow Blvd. and we can readily understand Why. Besides the fine sorority spirit shown by the ADPi’s this year, there was also evidence of their school spirit on campus. Louise Tibero was on the Transfer Committee and Jody Mcllvain an active Cwen. Ann Burns, president of the sorority, was one of the five finalists for the Spring Carni- Val 1952-53. During the month of l\Iay the girls found time to celebrate their Founder’s Day and say good-bye to their sorority sisters for another summer vacation.

Phi’s started the ’53-’54 school year by moving into their new sorority apartment at 214 South Craig Street. The old members, along with their two new transfer sisters, spent the week prior to school by moving furniture, painting, hanging drapes, and turning the apart- ment into a new and beautiful home under the leadership of Rita Gordon, the new president. When the moving was finished, the girls settled down to a new year of scholarship, social events, and school. Estelle Adler moved back into her position as president of Blortar Board; Doris Hart Rubin returned to the vice—presidency of VVSGA; Joan Hirsch took over as president of A quiet look i.nto the past.

A barn dance at North Park, complete with cider, doughnuts, hot dogs, blue jeans, plaid shirts, and square dancing brought together these sorority girls with their dates for the first time of the year. Off with a good beginning, they went on to have a fashion show, senior luncheon, Fathers’ Day Dinner, and a spring formal. 237 238 alpha tau of Beta Sigrra micron Some Beta Sig’s take time out on the Pitt lawn. The Pitt chapter of Beta Sigma Omicron sorority took top national scholastic honors this past year. The proud Beta Sig’s also placed third in the Pitt Scholastic Rating of sororities in 1952-53. Besides having brains and “book learning,” the girls still found time to have fun. Beta Sig’s decided that one Monday night a month would be called “Activities Night.” December was a big month for the Beta Sig girls. The annual Founder’s Day dinner, winter formal, and Christmas exchange party provided a final note of gayness to the old year. 1954 was another big year for Beta Sig.

Fixing up their new possession for its formal opening is the extra-special project of the Chi O’s this year but along about Christmas time the orphans of St. Peter’s Home receive the “fixing” with a gay party in their honor. Then, too, the girls pause from their nailing and painting for their winter and spring formals but there’s no stopping the determined Chi O’s from making their house one of the most outstand- ing on campus. Jean Hill is the first president to bang the gavel at the corner of Neville an-d Morewood Avenues and it’s hard to understand how meetings are confined to just talking with five Chi O’s members of Heinz Chapel Choir. Chi O’s like Barbara Rupp, vice president of Cwens, Marie Carr, Student Congress member and Bobbie Douglas, Chairman of the Transfer Committee, have to carefully divide their time between school activities and the new house.

Besides having the best Festival show and taking third place honors with their eye-catching show front, the hard-working Tri- Delt’s snagged the first place award in the Float Parade. And as if the Tri-Delt house wasn’t full of cups already, they added another to their col- lection when they placed second in the I. F. Pan- hellenic Sing. But winning honors as a group is easy when there are so many active individuals on campus. This year Dotty Jacobs is serving as prexy of Panhellenic Council and LaVerne Dunten heads the Sophomore Class. Hazel Hallam is the very important veep of Student Congress while Audrey Longridge spends a lot of time as Chairman of the Customs Committee. 243 They’re sweet, they’re lovely, they wear Tri-Delt pins. But the Tri-Delt’s believe all work and no play can be pretty dull so they sparkle up the school year with a winter and spring formal, plus pledge banquets, a Christmas party for orphans, a Parents’ Tea and a Variety Night for the enter- tainment of their alums, parents and Carnegie Tech sisters. Nancy Storer presides over meetings at the Tri-Delt house on Bigelow Boulevard, assisted by Marion Baynham, the lucky Sweetheart of Sigma Chi. The Tri-Delts take special pride in the schol- arship they offer each year to any woman student on campus who has completed two semesters at Pitt and has maintained a high scholastic stand- ing and a deep interest in school activities.

Kappa Alpha Theta’s achievements during the past year show repeatedly that this group has fulfilled its three-fold purpose of social, moral and intellectual growth. Socially, the Theta’s year has been an ac- tive one. Their buffet dinner with the Carnegie Tech Chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha certainly helped to promote interschool relations. In addition, to celebrate their Founder’s Day last January, the Thetas held a joint party with their Tech Chap- ter at which l\Irs. Ellen B. VVolfstead, their na- tional president, was main speaker. Other out- standing events on the KA9 social calendar in- cluded a student-faculty dinner co-sponsored with Phi Gamma Delta, winter Christmas formal, spring dinner-dance, and a pajama party at the chapter house. Individually speaking, two Thetas, Carol VVoodgate and Dorie Secor, were honored by being chosen sweethearts of Phi Delta Theta and Phi Gamma Delta, respectively. On their more serious side, KA9 supports two very worthwhile projects: The mention of active women at Pitt brings an avalanche of names to mind from the chapter roll of KA9.

They take part in the canned food drive, and hold an annual party for the orphans. And in addition to this interest in their community, they are always trying to make improvements concerning themselves—a parking lot project with reconditioning, enlarging and resurfacing is being carried on and, their house is undergoing a face lifting job with sandblasting and re-painting.

The fraternity now boasts one of the largest memberships of any national fraternity. The 1953-54 school year was full of fun and fellowships for SAE’s. There were “brunches” be- fore the football games, the Harvest dance in November, the annual Sweetheart dance, the South Sea dress-up party in December and the spring formal. A new project this year was the publication of a booklet that listed all the living alumni of the Pitt Chapter.

They will some day take their places in the fields of law, medicine, engineering, and business, but this year they have taken their places on the drill field as one of the outstanding marching bands in the country. Of course, where a group of this size is concerned, there must be men who manage, who plan, and just plain work. These men constantly came up with new formations and drills which, incidentally, the band executed at a cadence of 180 steps per minute. Practice sessions all week long prepare these men for appearances at football games, reviews, and pep rallies. The Stadium Review in December is just one of the many high points in an eventful year.

Jennings Alpha Phi Alpha is a fraternity with a pur- pose, known as one of the more thoughtful fra- ternal groups on campus. As one of their projects which they hope will continue through the history of the chapter is the scholarship fund. This fund set up by the fraternity itself is parceled out to a deserving undergraduate each year. At their rushing events this year the Alphas showed prizefight films with Joe Louis as the main contestant, and after the movies they had their usual, or it should be said their unusual chicken dinner. The way those boys can devour a half a fried chicken is the talk of the campus.

During the Spring semester, Delta Sigma Theta sponsored two affairs to replenish their scholarship fund. The first was called “Jabber- wock” and was put on by the three Pittsburgh chapters of the sorority. The second was a card party which helped the fund as well as their pre- exam morale.

In the early fall KBPhi’s pledged many new members to their non-sectarian brotherhood fol- lowing a number of rushing events. A well planned social program provided actives and pledges every- thing they expected and planned for in social affairs. Barn dances, holiday parties, and informal get-togethers and a final President’s Ball spring formal finished the school year in grand style.

The official celebration was held over the weekend of November 21st, with a house affair given by the present members and an Alumni dinner dance held on the following night. The anniversary affair, however, was only one of many exciting parties. Last fall there was a costume party for Halloween, and a few weeks later, a combined barn dance and hay ride. A little later in the year, Phi Ep held a winter formal and a Valentine Dance.

On this day the actives, pledges, and Alumni all enjoy a wonderful evening at the Villa Catalina.

But whatever the reason, the season ended on as dismal a note as it began, and the Panthers held a meager 3-5-1 chart to show for their efforts. After an unexpectedly strong showing the year before, when they defeated Notre Dame, Army, and three Big Ten schools in their 6-3 rec- ord, the Panthers ranked high among Eastern grid powers. Some experts rated Pitt number one in the East in the pre-season roundups; local observers already had spots picked in the post-season bowl games. But along came the rigors of conversion to the single platoon system to spoil the well-laid plans of Coach Lowell “Red”Dawson in his second term at the helm. As was the case all over the collegiate world, erstwhile specialists had to learn to handle new jobs, and many first—stringers were found lacking in all-around ability. E. Hefferle, W. Cummins, R.

More than 42,000 fans watched rival West Virginia push the locals to a savory 17-7 victory around the Stadium turf in the opening game. Some of the disappointment abated the following Saturday, however, when the underdog Blue-and-Gold managed to hold powerful Oklahoma to a '7-7 tie, in a game that either team might easily have Won. Little did the Stadium followers sus~ pect that Oklahoma was to defeat the nation’s number one team, Maryland, in the Orange Bowl three months later.

In the third game, Nebraska fell vic- tim to the Panthers, 14-6, although the latter looked far from impressive in their first win.

These groups included such organizations as the Pitt News, Alpha Phi Omega and the Heinz Chapel Choir. F irst Row: BI. Jones, H. Kehhy, G. Gath, S. Phillips, N. Schwinn, L. Chianese, R. Palkovitz, P.

The Panthers had pulled one of their biggest upsets in years the season before, and all things pointed to a rousing battle with the reVenge—minded Irish. And it really was a battle—for the first half, at least. The Visitors stunned the capacity crowd when they scored the first time they got their hands on the ball, and left the field at halftime with a 14-7 lead. The tide turned sharply, however, in the third quarter following a safety in the Pitt end zone, and the Leahymen used their re- serve power to grind the Panthers right out of the ball game. 316 Zombek appeared too late to block for McCabe.

So far the Oaklanders most obvious defi- ciency lay in their passing attack, so much so that the opposition seemed to be setting up their de- fenses strictly against the running of Bobby Epps, the leading ground-gainer who turned in magnifi- cent performances throughout the game. Richie McCabe and Ray Ferguson were doing satisfac- tory jobs alternating at right halfback. Questionable officiating and ragged play cost a Victory to an equally ragged Northwestern team, 27-21, in the second road encounter.

It was not until the Panthers invaded Vir- ginia that they snapped out of their tailspin, when they easily trampled the Cavaliers, 26-0. For the first time Dawson was able to give some of his reserves a chance to crack the lineup. The easy victory proved costly for Eldred Kraemer, star tackle, suffered a shoulder separation which put him out for the season. This made the line situa- tion critical, for guards Ed Stowe and Rudy Grun- der already had been put out of action. The for- ward wall had been weakened at the start when tackle Lou Palatella broke a leg and had to sit out the entire campaign. Dick Gatz, Bill Schmitt, and Bill Cessar filled in at his spot, and Howard Linn took over Kraemer’s vacancy. Fortunately, Dawson had enough suitable guards to relieve any pressure at that spot—Joe Los, Harold Hunter, Bob Kennedy, and John Cenci pulling reserve duty. ‘ Joe Capp 319 Despite recurrent injuries, Captain Dick Dei- trick continued to stand out at end, along with Joe Zombek, Jack Paluck, Bob McQuaide, and Fred Glatz. Bill Adams had been lost earlier with a leg injury. The center position, too, was deep in top—flight performers——Ed Bose, Ed Johnson, Bob Ballock, and Gary LeDonne. The squad returned from its travels after the Virginia game and proceeded to humble a hapless Wolfpack from North Carolina State, 40-6. The victory unveiled a new star in Bob Grier, a sub fullback playing behind Epps and Joe Capp. Grier gained 298 yards—two short of the Pitt record— in a stunning display of speed and power that aft- ernoon. Halfback Don Michaels, who had been playing behind Gene Steratore also broke into the lineup as a regular. At this point, the won-lost record read 3-4-1 and the Blue-and-Gold had one last chance to even up the chart for the season. A Dawson- coached team had never before compiled a losing record, and only Penn State loomed as a possible spoiler in the finale at the stadium.

A mid-semester road trip brought back two more conquests, however, as Columbia and Georgetown fell.

Just as the hero gets his reward at the end of the play, so do the Pitt Players get their rewards at the end of the year when their annual banquet is held. Students who have rendered outstanding service are awarded keys while others are granted active membership in the organization. “The- atron,” undergraduate dramatics honorary, gives two awards at this time.

After copping dual Victories over Ohio Uni- versity, Duke, West Virginia, Syracuse, Miami of Ohio, and Lehigh, the mermen grabbed 94 points in the ECSA to carry home the James H. Reilly trophy for good. Captain Ronnie Gainsford led the Panthers as he was undefeated in dual competition and won both the 100 and 200 yard breast strokes in the title match. Freddie O’nions and Jim Zurcher also con- tributed highly to the Panthers’ success and both ended up with new ECSA records in the individual medley and 440-yard free style, respectively.

The team did not fare so well in the scoring, however, as seven games failed to produce a single victory, although the booters managed to tie Indiana Teachers in their opening game, 2-2. Signs of improvement appeared in the second contest although not indicated in the score when Grove City won, 5-0. VVith the development of a better passing attack, the team made good show- ings in losses to Allegheny, 5-3; Denison, 6-3; and Slippery Rock, 4-0.

For the first time in its history, Pitt fielded a Gymnas- tic team this year and took on a full intercollegiate sched- ule including such teams as Army, West Virginia, Ohio State and Illinois. The “men on the flying trapeze” put up a good show- ing in spite of the fact that some of them had never com- peted in gym events before and although competent, were inexperienced. Coach Warren Neiger had his boys competing on the parallel bars, horizontal bars, flying rings, sidehorse, rope climb, and tumbling (not to be confused with tripping over one’s foot). The gymnasts took to the road twice in their first year of competition but came home with losses to both West Virginia and Ohio State. VVith a few more perform- ers and a little experience under their belts the boys in tights should attract some attention next year. Kneeling: Ted Strauss. Standing: D. Shima, R. Fornataro, J. Ray, J.

Only West Virginia has been the obstacle in keeping the Panther sharpshooters from the title in the loop’s three-year history. The Mountaineers were the only riflers to beat Pitt in the past season. The local squad, however, posted Victories over all the other mem- bers of the league, besides topping an outside rival, Ohio State. Top men for the Panthers were Tom Shepard, Dave Jacobson, Bob Stanger, Jim Cleary, Bell _ Kelly, Al Johnson, and Dick Greene. Shepard is Tom Shepard’ Captain the Veteran of the squad. First Row: J.

The V\'omen’s Recreation Association which offers the women of the University a chance for real fellowship is one of the most popular campus organizations among the girls. Any woman student may become a member and by doing so will gain many social benefits. These include par- ticipation in athletic games, “cook-outs,” and “Fun and Frolic Nights” which are held in the Cathedral Gym. Through active participation in VVRA the students have an opportunity for relaxation and development of their sports ability. Sports contests with area schools have been a signifi- cant part of this year’s program. Some of these events were basketball games with Tech, swimming meets and general play days. The friendly competition of these events has fostered a strong bond of cooperation between the women’s athletic departments of the participating schools.

Coach Carl Olson’s cross-country team not only_posted an undefeated record for 1953, but shut out seven of their eight victirns with “blan- ket” finishes. Thus the harriers proved to be the winningest Varsity group in Pitt athletics. Led by VValt Starz, Allen Gunderson, Don I)elliGatti, and Bob Cherry, who usually made up the blanket, in which four or more runners finish before a. single opponent breaks the tape, the harriers also copped second place in the annual IC4A championships in New York. l\Iichigan State edged past by only two points with 86. Other consistent winners for the “Blue-and- Gold” were Dan Sommer, Pete Kress, and Ron Sallade.

HISTORY Origin of Koppers Company, Inc., dates back to June 10, 1907 when Heinrich Koppers, a young German engineer who had de- vised a better way of heating chemical-recovery coke ovens, es- tablished engineering offices at Joliet, Ill. Koppers set about building a battery of his coke ovens for the Illinois Steel Company. The budding young steel industry of the United States watched with interest, recognizing that the Koppers ovens made better coke, and at the same time recovered the gas, tar and other products which the old bee-hive ovens burned off. GROWTH From a small engineering firm, later purchased by American interests and moved to Pittsburgh, K0’ pers grew rapidly, enter- ing new fields opened by the chemicall)-recovery coke ovens. To supply cities with gas and coke, it built for itself and operated several batteries of the coke ovens. It built plants for the recovery of benzene and toluene which were s() badly needed for produc- tion of explosives during World VV-ar I. It began to make tar products such as road and roofing materials. to find \-Jays of get- ting more of the chemical derivatives from tar, and to utilize certain chemicals that could berecovered from the coking process. Experience at building complicated coke oven batteries led Koppers into other fields of metallurgical engineering and con- struction. Today Koppers and its Freyn Engineering Department are known throughout the world as builders of superior blast furnaces, sintering plants, rolling mills and entire integrated steel plants. Koppers is a world leader in design- ing and constructing coke oven plants 345 World War II saw a need for synthetic rubber, and the govern- ment, recognizing Koppers ability in constructing specialized chemical plants, asked it to build a plant at Kobuta, Pa., to make styrene and butadiene, primary ingredients of synthetic rubber. After the war, Koppers purchased part of the Kobuta plant and converted it to the manufacture of the versatile plastic molding material—polystyrene. With five other chemical plants in opera- tion, Koppers has become a growing unit of America’s rapidly expanding chemical industry. RESEARCH Recpgnizing that continued growth demands unceasing efforts to better serve industry and the public, Koppers places great em- phasis on scientific research . . . research that makes many prod- ucts better and many better products possible. _Koppers operates a new Research Center at Verona, Pennsyl- vania, where nearly 200 scientists, technicians and other research men and women work to create new and better products and processes. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES A career with Koppers ofiers the qualified college graduate in- teresting work, at good pay and with a high degree of job security. Comprehensive training programs have been developed to pre- pare you for an initial position and for future advancement. Ex- ecutive positions are, with few exceptions. filled by those who have come up through the ranks.

James H. a Luke Swank In the very beginning, when Pittsburgh was only a cluster of cabins at the Point, two dreams stirred its soul—-a splendid, surging materialism, and a yearning for cultural growth. That these two have achieved a happy symbiosis is brilliantly expressed today in the Cathedral of Learning. 0 It could have been a temptation, in this town of teeming potentialities, to concentrate solely on the practical. Wealth always burgeoned here—in farm products, coal, iron, glass, oil, and steel. Any man with horse-sense and a right good will to work, could wrest a fortune from the wilderness, seemingly overnight. 0 This city was singularly blessed though, by the quality of the people who came here in search of a fuller life. They recognized early a need for the specialized type of training our industries would require. But they wished, for their sons and daughters, much more than this. With William Penn they believed that “good and commendable learning is to be preferred before wealth.” O A succession of such great men—founders, trustees, Chancellors, teachers, and alumni—have steered our university’s destiny from the log cabin Academy of 1787 to the Cathedral of today. Under their vigil has grown up a special type of university that marries, in its wide curriculum, both the cultural and the practical. The Cathedral of Learning, itself a uniquely American architectural expression, is a symbol of a uniquely American type of education. 0 Also uniquely American was the early development of the food manu- facturing business. For more than three generations we have been preparing ready-to-serve delicacies to save the time and effort of America’s housewives. H. J.

THE HEAT IS ON Every Day and Night In the plants that make iron, steel, glass, petroleum and aluminum many of the key processes are conducted at extremely high temperatures. Harnessing the heat in tl,._, processes is the job performed by refractories. Refractories are standard and special shapes made from fire clay, magnesia, chrome ore, alumina, silica rock and many other minerals. They form the walls and linings of blast furnaces, open hearth furnaces, glass tanks, coke ovens, melting furnaces, heat ing furnaces, boiler settings and other structures where heat must be confined to do useful work. They must be produced in many different sizes and compositions of material to properly serve the various applications. Progress in industrial processes is fre quently dependent upon the development of new and better refractories. During the last 88 years research by Harbison-Walker ",2 has led in the development of many new and vastly improved refractories - mak.. ing possible improved glass, aluminum, iron, steel, and petroleum products. With mines, plants, and quarries in 14 "states, Harbison-Walker is the world lead er in refractory production and research.

World's Largest Producer of Refractories 360 FOR YOU AND YOUR PATIENT HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IMPORTANT This is why, after 110 years, we are still pioneering, still searching, still devising, still improving, to promote better aids for dentistry. Perhaps you are aware of this. There is a dramatic story, for example, much too long, for this page, in the evolution of S. S. White Equipment for con venience and comfort in the dental operating room. It stems from "headrest that can be adapted to any kind of chair, well suited to the traveling dentist," made by Dr. Samuel S. White in 1844, through the first self-cleansing cuspidor made in '66, the first electric engine in'70, first all-metal chair in'71, first chair to introduce the compensating seat and backrest in'72, the first hydraulic chair in'77, the first chair to give horizontal position in'99, the first equipment unit in 1913. The list of "firsts" is long, impressive, touches almost every phase of dentistry. In 1938 the S. S. White Master Unit brought modern styling into the operating room. In 1950, a new triumph in dentistry's conquest over pain came with the introduction of the S. S. White "Airdent" Unit for cavity preparation by the "Airbrasive Technique". This we hope you will remember always-we and all distributors of S. S. White products have a constant concern for you and your patients and strive always to provide superlative service in all we do and make for you. Proof of this will be evidenced in our free office planning service and convenient financing terms. Test us. Ask any distributor of S. S. White Equipment or write direct. 211 S.

SJust a few words of appreciation to those to whom I cannot express enough appreciation. just what the doctor ordered, for the closeness and cooperation which is Karl Meyers needed between the business and the editorial staffs. Jack Caldwell went through the year firing strobs, developing film, printing pictures and helping out on layout, typing, writing or anything i else that needed to be done. His loyalty and talent were extended to the limit this year. Thanks, Jack. Al Skirboll was another business staffer whose personality and ability SJack Caldwell were welcome and necessary. Bobbi Douglas, in her first year on the staff, did a volume of work that seemed impossible for such a little girl to manage, Thanks, Bobbi. Joe Banik and I had become fast friends last year, and if it hadn't been for Joe's cheerfulness and ability to absorb the steam that I let off once in a while it would have been a much tougher year. Paul Gilliland breezed through what is usually one of the toughest Alan Skirboll sections of the book. Paul could always be counted on to produce when the deadline rolled around. Lois Duerr became the'copy girl' on the staff this year, besides being on the classes staff, she was always willing to type all those necessary little things that seem to be needed at the last moment. John Obitz did a fantastic job on the fraternities this year; with no SBobbi Douglas previous experience he managed to meet a rough deadline in December that consisted of his entire section, a fine job Johnny. Joan Stigers, who poured out the thousands of words needed, is another to whom no words can express my thanks. Tom Vrana, another first year member, came to be depended upon Joe Banik for that crucial photo. You did a terrific job, Tom. Joe Bak With more space, I could go on to enumerate each member of the staff to say how much they've given to the OWL in time and talent. But know ing them, I know they realize the gratitude I feel towards them. The commercial firms and their representatives that helped me this year are some of the finest people I know. They are: Donald Messinger and Mrs. Jewell Gates of Wm. J. Keller Inc.; Ralph Benz of the S. K. Smith Co.; Paul Gilliland and S. M. Fields of Delma Studios. Some of those here at the university to whom I would like to express my appreciation are: Mr. Theodore Biddle, Dean of Men; Mrs. Agnes Starrett, university editor; Mr. Thomas Jarrett, university photographer, for your help, cooperation and encouragement, many thanks. And finally, I would like to say'thank you' to my family. Though I Lois Duerr had to give them a picture of me, so that they would remember what I looked like, my mother and my father were unflagging in their interest and loyalty. And to him that follows, may I wish you the luck of having the same type of staff that has been my pride and joy this year. John Obitz ..

After the meeting the group stays for a session of music. 37 Pitt students, sitting around in the Y.M.H.A.

The Hillel Foundation, however, with its many varied ac- tivities around campus, has tried to make it pos- sible for more Jewish students to participate in a ' I religious organization. In September and Febru- l U n d I ary, they sponsored a Freshman tea; and in the Religion-in-Life VVeek program, Hillel took a deep interest. During the year, Hillel also combines with other Religious organizations on campus in the PreS- S-31111161 Balk Pitt Inter—Faith Square Dance.

Their activities, however, are not limited to re- ligious projects although that is the major function for which it exists. Barn dances, swim parties, and socials at the student center make up the lighter side of their schedule. On the more formal and serious side are weekly Seminars in the New Testa- ment, dinner rallies with representatives from Pitt, Tech, and PCW and the Nursing schools of the area meeting for an informal dinner and a dis- cussion group afterwards. Their cooperation with other school groups as well as with those within their own university certainly helps to put across the true purpose of their organization.

This organization is not exactly a fraternity, but a close fellowship formed by the pre-theological students at the University. Pi Theta provides a common ground for the religious students to meet, understand, and appreciate the other faiths and denominations. Thomas Cooper was the first president of Pi Theta. Presiding at the bi-monthly meetings, he was capably assisted by Paul Schrading, chair- man of Religion-in-Life \Veek; John Bucher, president of the Lutheran student association; and advised by the university chaplain, Dr. Luccock. The main purpose of Pi Theta is to help the pre-theological members in choosing the best courses and activities at the university for their purposes, and to acquaint others with the prob- lems and opportunities of full time theological work.

Finney the work of the choir is to the end that the worship of God may have dignity and beauty and meaning. In the fifteen years of its existence the choir has achieved Well deserved fame, not only at Pitt but throughout this section of the country. By its concert tours, its television appearances and performances at University functions it has become a symbolic representative of Pitt and Pittsburgh. Perhaps the best description of the purpose of the choir comes from one of its members. He said: We practice our art for the service of God. Our rewards, quite various, and at times seemingly unrelated to our chief work, really have the func- tions at their foundations. The music we make, when we make it as we should, has important meaning only as it relates to that fundamental function. Dr. Theodore M. Finney, Director First Row: J. Baumgartel, N. Sheriff, N.

Roger Wi||iam’s Fellowship The Roger Williams Fellowship is the name of the Baptist student fellowship for the Pitts- burgh area. Organized in 1947, its headquarters are located in The First Baptist Church at Belle- field and Bayard Streets, very near the campus. Regular Thursday evening meetings of the Fellow- ship are held here and are open to young people of college age regardless of national background or church afiiliation. The purposes of this group are inspiration, recreation, spiritual growth, training in Christian leadership, cooperative and coordinated campus and community service, education, and promotions of inter-denomina- tional and inter-collegiate understanding. In a large university such as ours, this organization does much in bringing together many members and students. Roger Williams members, having informal talks, are waiting for their meeting to begin.

On the University campus, it is one of the many religious- ly active organizations that wants to provide for the student a religious affiliation away from home. In carrying out this program many social and com- munity affairs form a basic part of the year’s schedule. Bowling parties, a box social, dinner meetings, and weekend trips twice during the school year help to provide a varied social list that keeps the year a busy one. In furthering youth interest in the church of the community, the W’esley Fellowship sends out deputation teams at the request of a particular church; this group made up of members of the Fellowship leads the youth program in the church.

The Young Men’s Christian Association at Pitt is a fellowship whose primary purpose is to associate students in Christian living and to help them discover and accept the full meaning of Christian discipleship for their own lives and society. The Pitt Yl\ICA is concerned with four main areas relevant to their purpose. These, along with some special events are initiated and planned by the committee of Management, a student-faculty organization and the student cabinet that meets once a Week throughout the year. The YMCA is also one of the vertebrae in the backbone of Religion-in-Life Program which is held each spring semes- ter. During this week, laymen and theologians, both local and national, talk on a selected theme which is important to college students.

Some of these exercises include ushering at commencement exercises, proctoring a Freshmen VVeek events and also for the men’s customs exams; and Pitt Chest Fund speakers and workers. One of the chief projects in 1953 was working at summer scout camps.

Rosina Laurito V. Pres. Barbara Rupp Corr. Sec. Shirley Ritz Treas. Sara Schmeiser The Gold and Blue student directory seen and used constantly around the campus is a product of this highly active organization. The Cwens this year have lived up to the purpose of their organization, part of which is; through their service to the campus, to serve the university. And the Cwens are really busy serving the uni- versity, besides the student directory, they in- terpret the nationality rooms for the visitors, giving interesting sidelights on each room and on the artists who created them. And if that weren’t enough to keep these girls busy, Cwens also act as advisors to the freshman guilds. This organization is not entirely service however, on December sixth the girls got together with the Cwen organization from Carnegie Tech as a part of their well planned social program. And in this way are serving the university again by promoting their inter—collegiatc relations. 52 F irst Row: S. Carosella, S. Freund, E. Adler, R. Kutz, A. Moritz, H. Hallam, D. Rubin, D. D.

Every year Delta Delta Lambda, the honorary business education fra- ternity, pledge outstanding scholars in this field. They have faculty speakers, honored guests, and alumni at their large affairs and social gatherings. Another annual D.D.L. event is the Christ- mas party at one of the sorority houses on campus. They exchange presents and have good things to eat. All of Delta Delta Lambda’s activities have’ been built on the premise of encouraging and hon- oring outstanding scholarship in the field of Bus. Ed. In keeping with this premise, a 2.0 average or better is necessary for membership in the fraternity. l\Ien and women who are invited to join are challenged to consistently maintain their high scholastic standing. \Vith a foundation as solid as this, Delta Delta Lambda has had no difficulty maintaining its fine reputation among campus honoraries. 53 Delta Sigma Delta Pres. James Snow V. Pres. Jerry Guine Sec. Dave Hamilton Treas. Frank Coole Adv. Dr. Homer Butts, Jr. The brothers of Delta Sigma Delta have a two-fold purpose in mind: to encourage high scholarship in the field of dentistry and to provide a much needed social life for work-weary dental students. In line with this policy, the house be- comes a center of activity at the start of rushing and everyone pitches in to make the place sparkle for the rushees. Social affairs continue throughout the season and feature barn dances, a formal, and picnics in the spring. Its more serious business is the recognition of the outstanding students in the School of Den- tistry who show exceptional scholastic ability and qualities of leadership. 54 First Row: R. Gifford, D.

Brought to the fore early in the first semester, the blazer caught the eye of the student body, and now most of the sharper men about school are -wearing them. The men in this honorary have not made this their only activity as is exemplified by the roster of the organization. Among their members are Elmer Shuster, president of Inter-fraternity council and Omicron Delta Kappa and Paul Shrading, President of the Yl\ICA. The Druids tapped their new members this year at the Social-tapping on December fourth.

Arthur The Pitt Band is a lively addition to a pep meeting in Soldiers and Sailors Memorial. There is a great deal of pride evident when Pitt students talk about the Varsity l\Iarching Band. And behind that high stepping group of bandsters is the Kappa Kappa Psi, service fra- ternity. Members of Kappa Kappa Psi print the band newspapers, provide T-shirts and sweaters and sponsor the “Bandsman of the Year” award. VVhen a visiting band is served hot coffee, donuts, or cider, it’s Kappa Kappa Psi members who are responsible. The organizing of the band shows is also a major job of the honorary, along with assisting in the direction of the performances. After the Penn State game, the members sponsored a formal in the Georgian Room of VVebster Hall. They also sponsored the annual banquet for the band alumni. 1953-54 marked the sixth year on campus for this fraternity. l\Iembers have found that the band is not all marching and music because Kap- pa Kappa Psi plans for the year many social affairs—s0me stag, but more often date affairs. It’s practice like this that makes the band reviews so good. Front: J. P. Reynolds, D. J. Timko, C. R. VVolf, J. A. Martucci, R. L. Arthur, M. H. Rudov, H. Clarke, B. E. Benack, J. K. Greenberg.

Powders, pills, organic chemistry and many hours of pharmacy tests didn’t prevent the women of Lambda Kappa Sigma, honorary pharmaceutical fraternity, from having a busy, active year. Besides all the planning for rushing parties and pledge period, Lambda Kappa Sigma mem- bers found time to have bake sales and many informal gatherings. Proceeds from the sales were used to extend the fraternity’s scientific and social program. Pitt’s undergraduate chapter was particularly proud of its close bond with the Delta Graduate Chapter of the fraternity in the School of Phar- macy. Unique in its field, the fraternity allows an opportunity for similarly interested students to become acquainted, and enjoy their common interest in pharmacy. Organized in 1918 the organization provided fellowship for a small group of women students. Since then it has grown rapidly adopting itself to the large increase of women students. F irst Row: D.

One of the features of this year’s Student Congress program was a monthly dinner-meeting with a member of the faculty or administration as guest speaker each month. The student solons obtained a better over-all picture of the University through the talks and the open discussions which followed and used the knowledge thus gained to increase their efliciency in coping with student problems. Under an ambitious program of objectives and projects, the members had their work cut out for them and found the life of a congressman to be a busy oneif not an easy task. They had their ups and downs with legislative problems but a list of the SC achievements this year is impressive. Their annual High School Day program was an outstanding success as well as a colorful event in the Fall semester. Organization of the Aca- demic Promotions Committee, the founding of the Student Orchestra, an agreement with neigh- boring colleges on pep rally damages to campuses, and an investigation of the parking situation were only a few of their accomplishments.

And there was something new this year in the line of social events, as the Transfer Committee headed by Barbara Douglas held a tea for all the transfer women students. Also, proving Pitt women equal to the men, the Traditions committee brought out the Pitt blazer for women. A very flattering piece of ap- parel that made a hit with the girls as well as the boys. Instead of squinting at green armbands this year, the men on campus this year squinted at blue and gold ones on the arms of freshman wom- en. This was the work of the Customs committee.

Covering almost every phase of community life, the Pittsburgh Program is broad and balanced——a fact that represents perhaps its most noteworthy and remarkable aspect. Evidence of the physical changes are strikingly visible and apparent—in the imposing skyline of the Triangle, at the Point where a 36-acre park will restore the beauty of this historic Gateway to the West, and in the towering skyscrapers of steel and stone and aluminum that exemplify Pittsburgh’s economic resurgence. lt is evident, too, because of smoke and flood control, the great airport, modern highways built to move traffic quickly and efficiently, and the new parks and playgrounds for wholesome recreation. Along with the physical rebuilding there has been an equally impressive cultural and educational rebirth. Carnegie Institute, with its renowned museum, international art exhibitions, library and musical activities, is a vital part of this larger and richer picture. A unique auditorium for year-round use as an amphitheater, sports arena and convention hall is proiected for the Lower Hill. The symphony orchestra, the grand opera, summer operettas and the Pittsburgh Playhouse productions have achieved distinction and rank among the finest in the country. WQED has been established in the pioneering field of educational television. New buildings and expanding facilities at the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Institute of Technology, Pennsylvania College for Women, and Duquesne University are but part of the plans of these leading institutions for enlarging and enriching their services to youth and community. The University Medical Center with its many affiliated hospitals, schools, and clinics is destined for a leading role in this age of miraculous medical progress. Most important of all is the way the program is touching the lives of the people who live and work here and attracting to Pittsburgh outstanding executives, scientists, engineers, scholars, physicians, and research workers who see an opportunity for a fuller and richer life in this dynamic industrial community. The accomplishments which have already been made on the many phases of the Pittsburgh Program during the four years the Class of 1954 has been in the University are substantial and significant and have created the solid foundation for greater achievements in the days ahead.

Men's Council The fall semester mixer dances ‘are the first social affairs for the freshman students as a group. The men and women get acquainted, enjoy re- freshments and have a special party at the holiday mixer. All this fun is planned and produced by Men’s Council in cooperation with VVSGA. They are active in helping the individual student to ad- just to university life and to provide recreation and relaxation within the school for the students. Twice a year the Men’s Council Bookstore opens on the eighth floor for the sale and resale of used books. This year the council also spon- sored the sale of Civic light opera, Nixon, and l\Iay Beegle concert tickets doing a total business of $8000. They saved the students $6000. through this program. MC is also investigating the possibility of a faculty-advisory system which would give each student a faculty advisor during his four years at Pitt. This would lessen the confusion for the fresh- man students and aid the upperclass members in planning their schedules.
