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. THE OFFICIAL MICHIGAN RING IMMEDIATE DELIVERY COMPLIMENTARY ENGRAVING L. G. BALFOUR CO. 1319 S. University Phone 3-1733 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 eligibility regulations and are us- ually asked to work approximately two hours a week. In addition to producing the magazine, the Technic staffs sponsor the annual Slide Rule Ball, the engineer's "dance of the year." Interested students should call at 205 West Engineering Annex or contact Harvey Schatz, 8568, or Ray Ladendorff, 403 Chicago House. 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." KWQ Council Coordinates Student Affairs Faculty Members , 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.
