By Herb Schmidt Do you want to know where you can find a needle in a haystack 17 Well, if your “needle” happens to 'be included in the field of applied mechanics you might try the Applied Mechanics Review. This world-wide magazine, whose nerve center is located right here at Illinois Tech, proves to be the answer to the prayers of many research workers and graduates working on their masters’ theses. Dr. A. WuWundheiler is the edi— tor of the Applied Mechanics Re- view, and is assisted by a capable staff. The copy for A M.

All/LR. is the only magazine in the world in its field that contains truly critical reviews, and one might think of it as a highly tech— nical Reader’s Digest. The differ— ence is that the Readers Digest. so» lects the “best” articles of general interest, while the A.M.R. enu deavors to cover its complete field of world literature. Scanning edi— tors examine more than 400 peri- odicals written in some fifteen lan- guages, and select those articles which would be oi." value to men working in research. A selected article is sent to one of 500 re- viewers who is an expert in the field of the article and knows the language in which it was written. Since: the magazine is non— profit, the reviewers devote their time free of charge. Besides hav- ing to match the reviewer with the field and language of the article, the scanning editor trys to switch affiliation or countries: if an article is written by a GE. man, a West inghouse man reviews it; or, if an article is written in America, a European would 1eview it. It is not unusual fm the author of the article to wrile a rebuttal to the review, and there is one case on record where there was a rebuttal, a re~rehuttal, and a rare-rebuttal. The psychology of a man doing research and lacking some of the material on his subject is similar to that of the student who needs a “pony.” In other words, they both want help to supply the needed in— formation. To supply these needs the All/LR. was founded just two years ago, and its reception has been most gratifying. It is distrib- uted throughout the world, and is available at Illinois T‘ech’s book— store. iii @Qlitht Willi “iiElEE’MWW Say, Rel).

The curriculum will be designed to provide a sound foundation in engineering fundamentals and education, according to Henry C. Spehcer, director of the TD department. “This program is being offered in anticipation of an increased de- mand for teachers of technical drawing in our secondary schools, technical institutes, junior colleges and universities,” Spencer said.

Illinois Tech is the first college or university to offer a formal degree- granting program in this specialized field. The program i11- cludes studies in mechanisms, ma- chine design, architectural drafting, industrial design, production illus— tration, advanced descriptive ge- ometry, structural drafting, and topographic drafting. The first two years are essentially the same as in mechanical engineering except that the psychology and education sequences are started in lieu of electives. The program will be officially launched in the fall semester, but several courses will be altered during the summer session for those drawing teachers who feel the need. for further specialized training in their field. Ivan L. Hill, associate professor in the technical drawing depart- ment, will serve as adviser in this program and all inquiries and in» formation concerning it should be directed to him or to Fred R. Travis, di1ector of admissions. Campus publications will stand the treat f01 ha1d—wozking‘ stati- men at the annual Publications banquet, May 21, at Younker’s res- taurant.

Inductees are Harold Bergen, Frank Curtis, Sidney Doppelt, Ramon Klitzke, Bernard Kunka and Marks Levy.
