John will take care of hiring, salary administration and training programs coordinated between the Bendix corporation and colleges; research work and cooperative ed— ucational programs. John, to his own admission, is no youngster- (“I’m pushing 27”). He is a native of South Bend and finished his high school education there. In January of 1947 he received his bachelor of science degree in , mechanical engineering at Illinois Tech. The following June, Makiel— ski. received a similar degree in industrial engineering here. Though perhaps not madly inter— ested in sewing machines, John took a position with the Singer Manufacturing company in June of 1947. Shortly afterward he went to work for the Dodge Msnutac» turing company as a plant layout engineer at Mishawaka, Indiana. Experiencing a. strong desire for rumbling trains and soot covered desks, .lohn again re- turned to Illinois Tech in Sep- tember, 1948, as the administrab ivc assistant to .lchn Rcttaliata, dean of engineering. In March of 1950, John succeeded Eloy- mond D. Meade as registrar. The following December John re- ceived his master of science de- gree in business administration at the University of Chicago. specializing in production man- agcxncnt. Besides being an outstanding student while attending IlT, John showed great aquatic prowess as a member 01' the HT swimming team. He was appointed swimming coach in September, 1949. Under his guidance the swimming team has experienced four wins and Wm losses to date. John hopes for at least seven wins before the season ends. HT has influenced John Ma- lticlslti’s life in ways other than educational for it was here that he met his wife. “She tripped me while K was Walking thrn the Metallurgy building,” he said ,iovially. He didn’t say what he was doing in the Metallurgy building. Mrs. Makielski, the former Mar- garet T. Williams, is a June, 1948 graduate of the College of St. Francis in Joliet, Illinois, where she received a bachelor of arts degree as a history major. Margar— et is presently employed by the public relations department at IIT as a news and feature writer. She came to UT in September, 1948. John and 24—year-old Mar- garet were married in July, 1950. “This is going with me," said John as he tenderly fondled a black velvet fedora which his wife gave to him last Christmas. He described the color as a “soft, academic black,” well suited for wear around the college campus. Perhaps some day that black hat may join the trademarks of our eminent men in engineering such as Charles F. Kettering’s baldhead and Albert Sloan’s pot belly.

Phi Sigma society, one of the oldest honorary societies in this country, was founded to increase interest in the biological sciences, admitting only students of highest academic standing to membership. Society rules stipulate that only students in the upper third of their class may be invited to become a member. At present the Illinois Tech chapter is an affiliate member of the national society but expects to become a charter member in the near future.

Though the club has not been quite as active in the last semester as in the two preceding years, a good solid schedule has been maintained with the other teams in the Chicago Collegiate Chess League, which includes Univer» sity of Illinois at Navy Pier, Uni— versity of Chicago, Northwestern, Wilson J. (1., Morgan Park J. C., and Roosevelt college. Three matches were played between semesters-«mite by the class A or graduate team, which is independent or the regular college team and is composed oi? Tech mods, and two by the undergrads. The grads fought to a. 3-3 draw with the llamiln- ton l’arh Chess club. The undergrads split a pair with U of C and Roosevelt college, with him; from U of C and losing to Roosevelt 21/2 to 31/2. The matches are set up on a six man—six board basis, with a time limit during which each player must make a certain num~ ber of moves. The team'is made up as follows: Captain, Kimball Nedved; second man, August Mei- ers; third man, Edwin Kolodziej; fourth man, Julian Braun; filth man, Stan Przeniczny; Lee Jacobs and Dave Powers are the alter hates. All of these men are quite prominent in local chess circles. Nedvcd, for instance, is rated fourth in the city of Chicago, and fifth in the state and recently won first place in an invitational meet composed of the eight top players from the 30 to 40 active clubs in Chicagoland. The Chess club at Illinois Tech has had some players go on to championships. The first president of the club recently was a city finalist, and another former pres- ident is now Florida state champ. For a time the club also carried on a radio chess tournament with a chess club in Iowa with the as— sistance of Rho Epsilon, the radio honorary. One oi" the services or the Chess club will soon he in evi- dence in the form of chess sets for the use of students in the Student Union. The next match scheduled is a match with Northwestern Febru- ary 25. Since IIT has been view torious in their previous matches it is hoped that they will again walk off with the honors. There is always room in the club for a fellow with ability and will to win. Freshmen or anyone with a genuine interest in turning his talents to competitive play is urged to contact Kimball Nedved as soon as possible. hisrsiedi . ,ddress Wit iinesdiny The Lutheran Student Associa- tion will hold its first meeting oi the semester Tuesday at 5:15 9.1!}. in the executive conference room, Student Union building.
