Somehow, Dick Golick looked a bit sad about something.

“Yes,” he replied, “one of my pet canaries has chirped its last

 

   

However, after due consideration
of the matter, We decided that in
thmobby of bird breeding, such
occhrrcnces are altogether likely.
Dick recalled, in fact, that several
of his canaries’ eggs never even
hatched.

Some would think bird breeding
' an» incongruous hobby for an eighth
term industrial engineering major,
but it is only one of the many hob—
bios which has occupied Golick’s
spare time. He used to collect thea-
ter stubs from all parts of the
world; now, he collects grade
points to the tune of a lovely 2.36
average.

Noticing his 5 foot 5 inch, 166
pound frame, I remarked that eat-
ing looked like one of his hobbies.
In reply, he conceded this pleasant
weakness: “Some people like to go
to a movie or the theater. My wife
and I would rather go to a place
noted for good food. We’ve been in
most of the best eating places in
the country.” When asked in which
place he had found the best food,
he suggested the Kungsholm
restaurant in Chicago.

Richard B. Golick had his pri—
mary and secondary education in

as a pattern maker’s apprentice.

war, he was transferred to a com-

was promoted to oomcn

In December, 1942, he enlisted in
the RCAF to serve as a radio
mechanic. ‘

 

 

 

Upon discharge, he was of~
fercd the Canadian govern—
ment’s version of the “6.1.
Bill.” Dick planned to take up
electrical engineering, but
when he heard that IE was be—
ing taught, he was, because
of his previous experience, all
for it. So January, 1946, found
him at Illinois Tech.

Since then Dick has become a
member of Tau Beta Pi, Sigma

Students club.

How can a person with so many
activities still get a straight “A”
in his seventh semester? Says
Dick, “Well, I believe that such
extra-curricular activities should be
looked upon as recreation rather
than as work.”

When asked if having a wife
was a handicap to his school
work, he replied, “Just the op-
posite. I think every college
student should be married. It
gives him two extra hands and
one extra head.” Quite a few
females might be inclined to
agree with Dick’s opinion.

Dick also believes that every en-
gineer should have some manage—
ment training, because most engi-
neers eventually gravitate to ex»
ecutive positions of one type or
another.

Golick’s post-graduation destiny
is as yet uncertain. Firmly sold on
IE, he would like to do basic re—
search work in industrial engineer-
ing. Whatever he does, engineering
principles will be applied—of that

Seeking placement problems during the past several weeks, we
recently found ourselves in.the richly-paneled loop offices of a
prominent national manufacturing organization. The company’s
name is unimportant for our purposes; knowledge of its place-
ment policies is important.

 

Personality is the key word. In
a large company, the engineer’s
theoretical and academic abilities
are worthless unless he can effec-
tively work with others. That
means he must not only get along
with his immediate colleagues but
also the men in other departments.

For this company in particular,
actual shopwork experience is con-
sidered invaluable. Experience in
the practical end of a particular
field provides the engineer with a
valuable perspective. Here it is rec—
ommended that student engineers
get summer jobs in labs and shops
akin to their field.

Aside from the grade point
average, extra-curricular ac»
tivities indicate a degree of
maturity and decision-making
ability. Our informant quickly
added that although profes-
sional activities broaden one's
contacts they can he overdone,
having the effect of narrowing
individual perspectives.

Various types of tests are held to
have some value, just as grade
point averages are somewhat in~
dicativc of ability. Common stand-
ards of personal appearance are ex~
pectcd, as a matter of course. But
these factors don’t tell the whole
story to the interviewer.

The most valuable man is the
