The Photo Tech Department has come up with an idea that is not cnly sensible, but inspiring. It's called an honor system. Ever hear of one ? As yet a constitution has not been drawn up, for everything is being done step by step, to in- sure a workable and democratic system. These are • just a few of their problems and goals: Before — certain rooms were locked and you had to literally sign your life away to enter. This was considered necessary because of the valuable equipment. Also, certain items of equipment were under control. There were ' numer- ous other prohibitions, but, to date, there has been no difficulty The Salesmen's Club of Rochester ( President Maloney--a good R.C.) Asked me to come and speak on \The Psychology of Selling Religion!\ Well! Maloney said \Chap named Goldstein suggested the program!\ Well! Well! So I told them about the R. C. Who became an Episcopalian, Then finally a Presbyterian Then died—and went to Hell. But the change was so gradual he never noticed it. Then I said that this yarn had come to me from a good R. C. friend who in telling it had progression move in the opposite direction, But the end result the same. It was a good meeting. We all parted much better friends. And I' m convinced That when grown Two fisted SALESMEN Can bless society With such opportunities for finer mutual understandings— There is some hope for the world In which Bigotry and suspicion based on ignorance of each other can be reduced by friendliness and understanding. —Chaplain M. A. C. in having . hampering procedures changed. Now--most of the rooms are open, and students are free to use many fixed pieces of equipment. There are many other principles to be decided upon, including ac- cess to attendance records. What is the reason for setting up this system ? It is for the bene- fit and convenience of the stu- dents. Think this honor system will work ? Why shouldn't it? I sin- cerely believe it will. If the Photo Tech department can bring about such excellent r es u l t s, why wouldn't it work with other de- partments? Should we give it a try ? * * * John Cantwell (sigh) believes that love is like a creeping vine that withers if it has nothing to embrace. I'm sure that Barbara agrees with him. Many of us girls have bets, \Red\ Terwilliger and \Big\ Willey, that your shorts are size 36. We wonder because of your famous washline in that corner room. It really presents a lovely sight too. \She's lovely, she's engaged, she uses Bab-O. This fits the descrip- tion of Peggy Elmer. Uncle Sam beckoned, so Peg now wears her friendship ring on the left hand. Wedding bells will soon be ring- ing for \Sandy\ Pasassano, a June bride to be. Congratulations, San- dy, and the best of everything from all of us. We'll miss you. Do you like peanut butter in your bed? The girls in 210 seem to enjoy it. Who could the villians be? I'll never tell!! Men, are your trousers torn and ripped in places? Take them to Lois Jensen, she's an expert seam- stress, from all reports. Anyway Ben Marcus thinks so. Gosh, but Alma Lindstrom is lucky. I wish I had a man like Dave Miller to bring me flowers. Now don't worry, Alma, it's the thought behind it that really counts. Bob Perry says that if wolves were mind readers, gasoline con- sumption would fall off 50 per cent. How 'bout that? Any similarity to people's hurt feelings, living or dead, is purely coincidental. Tech Speaks Reporter ............... BOB WEINSTIEN Photographer .... HANK LEHRER THE QUESTION Which department interested you most during your visit at RIT? Lois Thurlow . . . Senior, Sco t ts ville High: I believe the most interest- ing department at RIT is the School for American Craftsmen. The objects t hes e students t urn out are most unbelievable. I enjoyed every minute I was in the department. Edward Donaher . . Senior, Brockport High: I like the Photo Tech de- partment better than any of the other fine de- departments at RIT. One of the reasons is that my brother is a photography' and I watch him work. i seriously consider coming to RIT this fall. I will probably enter the Applied Art Department. Barbara Brown . . . Junior, Lyons Central School: I believe the Photo Tech de- partment is the most interest- ing department at RIT. I en- joyed seeing how pictures a r e .processed. The color work was particular- ly fascinating. If I come to RIT I intend studying Retailing, which also held my in- terest on the tour of the depart- ment. Phyllis Coash . . . Senior, Canandaigua Academy: Of all the de- partments I vis- ited I'd choose Photo Tech as the most inter- esting. Perhaps the reason for my intense lik- ing of the photo set-up is that I a m somewhat of an amateur photographer myself. I have no in- tentions of attending RIT but if I did I'd take the Retailing course. Jane Milton . . . Senior, Canandaigua Academy: I found the Photo Tech de- partment t h e most interest- ing department in the school. Photography is something that person can earn just any- h er e. The equipment, space, and instruction available at RIT are far superior to that offered at any other school. Robert Minister . . . Senior, Caledonia High School: There wer e two depart- ments that proved very i n t e r e s t- ing to me. Those departments are Photo Tech and Chemistry. I in- tend coming to RIT in the fall and when I do I will study one of these courses. The rest of the departments in the school are very good. November 16, 1951 Page 2 Editorial RIT's Expansion and Modernization The long range plans for expansion and modernization of RIT to take place over the next ten years were officially announced last Monday, Nov. 12, by James E. Gleason, chairman of the Institute's Board of Trustees. Mr. Gleason's announcement will please, we are sure, the many alumni, students, patrons, and friends of the Insti- tute who watch with interest, our biggest step forward since the name of the school was changed in 1946. This announcement marks the opening of the 125th Anniversary Fund through which the required $30 million will be raised. The program has been in preparation for the past year, and over $3 1 / 2 million has been raised already. New buildings to replace existing structures are planned for the School for American Craftsmen, Graphic Arts Re- search and Education, a student union, and men's dormitory. A gymnasium is also planned to relieve the currently inade- quate health and recreational facilities. In addition to the $3 1 / 2 million already received or pledged, the Institute has already acquired the property needed for this program and it is hoped that the critical international situation will have eased by 1954 to enable actual erection of some of these buildings. RIT's newest department, the School for American Craftsmen, will be housed in a new building, and endowed, their total goal being $3,500,000. The School for American Craftsmen, which was moved to RIT in 1950 from Alfred University, is one of the finest schools in the country. Mr. Ragnar Schlyter, Director of the Swedish Government Institute for Handicrafts, stated on a recent visit to the Institute, \Your School for American Craftsmen is doing the best job of bringing the hand crafts back to the United States.\ With this expansion, they will be able to do more and better work, creditable not only to themselves, but to the entire school. The biggest single phase of the program will be in a graphic arts education, research, and information. A new building will be built and equipped at a total of $12 million. Development of the graphic arts center will begin to fulfill the definite need felt by industry. RIT's graphic arts courses are now recognized as leaders in the country, and with this .expansion, Rochester could become the graphic arts education center of the world. A new student union and men's dormitory will replace the old Union Building at 102 Spring St. and the barracks, both presently used as dormitories. Total cost for these buildings will be $2,150,000. Our present student union, Clark Union, has long been considered inadequate for the students' needs, and this new Union will round out the student life to make off time more enjoyable. At the present, all male students who live on campus live either in the upper floors of Clark Union or in one of the three converted barracks. This set up will be improved greatly by the proposed men's dormitory. The present Shop Building will be torn down to make room for additions to the George H. Clark• Building costing $550,000. Endowment for the student union, the dormitory, and the Clark building will total $4,250,000. The proposed gymnasium, to be used for varsity and intramural sports competition as well as student assemblies, will cost $850,000. Sports play a large part in college life, and the proposed gymnasium should offer an excellent place near to the school where practice and games can be held, and a more satis- factory meeting place for our student assemblies. Today RIT has assets totaling $7,439,775, a plant con- sisting of seven major buildings and numerous small ones, and students from every state in the Union and many for- eign countries.
