FOUNDED IN 1882:

Engineering Magazine
Ten Years
Men and women students who
thrill to the lure of billowing sails,
fresh air and splashing water
should 'find a "limitless" source of
fun and relaxation springing from
membership in the Michigan Sail-,
ing club.
Organized to provide facilities
for sailing and ice boating for in-
terested students, the group has
been actiye for the past 12 years.
*I * * '
THE CLUB, which was the first
of its kind in the Midwest, has
dingy races every week-end in the
fall, spring and summer, and mem-
bers take'up ice boating in the
winter. '
The club enters an average of
five regattas each year and has
not been defeated in ten years
of competition.
The Sailing Club is a member
of the newly formed Midwest Col-
legiate Saling Association, of
which it is considered the father.
CLUB LEADERS emphasize that
no experience is necessary. Shore
school is provided for inexperi-
enced persons, but anyone able to
fulfill various requirements may
sail as soon as he desires.

Renowned as the "Oldest En-
gineering College Magazine in
America," the Michigan Technic
was founded in 1882.
The aim of the Technic is to
present technical information of
current interest in the engineer-
ing world-in particular to stu-
dents and graduatees of the Col-
lege of Engineering.
* * * $
AVOIDING articles offering
only a "textbook" type of knowl-
edge, it features descriptions of
the latest technical developments
styled for students who are read-
ing for relaxation.
In addition, the Technic has in-
novated a series of articles written
by, professors in colleges other
than - engineering-articles on
philosophy, sociology and political
science.
This program is coordinated
with its aim of liberalizing the
education of engineers.
Another feature chronicles
notes about former students now
;practicing in the engineering pro-
fession so that today's student
:nay have an idea of what to ex-
pect upon graduating.

THE ARTICLE and feature
staffs of the Technic do the act-
aal writting for the magazine.
the advertising staff sells and
makes up the ads, while the pub-
lication staff places the ads and
features and makes up the pages.
In their 68 years of continuous
publication, these staffs have
won many awards in all phases
of magazine publication.
To become a staff member stu-
dents mnust meet the University

ually asked to work approximately

year."

Ex-Scouts Fill
Ranks of APO
All male students who were Boy
Scouts fulfill the requirements for
membership in Alpha Phi Omega,
service fraternity.
The present members add one1
other qualification: a will to work.
THE GROUP, which was or-
agnized by former Boy Scouts who
wanted to give service while at
the University, works to serve the
nation, community and campus
throughout the year.
Beginning with an information
booth at registration, APO con-
tinues its activities aiding in
solicitation of donations to the
Community Chest, and helping
out in drives, campus elections,
and the annual Homecoming
Dance.
The fraternity also carries on
many special activities during the
term. This year APO is sponsoring
a drive for student text books.
As for the amount of time work
in Alpha Phi Omega takes, one
leader said, "As much as the stu-
dent wants to give."

BrouigtInto Houses
Aiding residents both academi-
cally and socially, the student gov-
ernment in the West Quadrangle
oversees all special Quad activi-
ties.
The West Quad Council handles
functions of interest to the whole
Quad and serves to coordinate
Quad affairs, while individual
house councils promote activities
within the Quad's eight houses.
* * *
THE QUAD COUNCIL was re-
sponsible for the recent inception
of a broad Faculty Associate pro-
gram designed to bring faculty
members into the Quad so that
residents might meet them on a
.strictly informal basis.
As part of this program, the
Council has sponsored lectures,
forums, and review sessions, and
individual houses have selected
members of the faculty to serve
as associates.
The associates frequently eat
with residents or get together with
them for informal bull sessions.
Other Cou;ncil-sponsored pro-
jects include dances, hobby clubs,
pep rallies, and a weekly news-
letter. Through its radio club, the
Quad Council operates a broad-
-asting station.
* * *
HOUSE COUNCILS sponsor
parties, direct sports events and
generally try to make life in the
houses enjoyable and profitable.
Residents can participate in
house government by serving as
officers, councilmen or committee
members. Two representatives
from each house serve on the
Quad Council.
