Winter FrolicsScores Big Hit

By JOE McKENNAA gigantic winter storm hit the

Eastman Smoker on Dec. 9, as theannual Alumni Mixer went offwith its usual success. The themeof the dance was Winter Frolicswith abundant decorations of snowicicles and a Christmas green andred ribbon effect throughout thehall.

Music was by Sonny Allen'sOrchestra who provided songs assoft and slow as a soft snowfall.

Some of the finest entertainmentto be had in the Smoker this yearwas provided by Jo Ann Gregwayand Ann Van der Weil who em-ulated the stars of the recent film"Royal Wedding." Red Mueller'susually fine piano stylings broughtenough applause to make an encorenecessary.

RIT Alumnus Gets Aid, Advice

Foot Slips and Bedlam Steps InStan Witmeyer, president of the

Institute Alumni Association exec-utive council, recently sent someadvice to council member Dick Al-len in the form of two cartoons onhow to fix windows.

Seems a few weeks back Dickwas up on the porch roof of hishome puttying some windows. Inorder to get at one of them he hadto step over to a small overhangabove the bay window. His wife,Dorothy, standing inside watchinghim saw him step over, miss theoverhang and disappear from hersight.

Dick had a nasty fall and as aresult was laid up for quite a whilewith a severely broken arm and asprained back. Burt Stratton, exec-utive secretary of the council vis-ited him and got the full story aweek or so after it happened.

Eventful FallStarting at the moment Dick re-

- alized he was falling here's whathappened. Dick, face to face withhis wife, when he started to drop,waved at her and said, "Goodbye."

After calling the ambulance, hiswife tried to get the doctor. Thedoctor's small daughter answeredthe phone and Dick's wife couldn'tget the child to understand whatshe wanted, so after a few exas-perating minutes hung up. By thenthe ambulance had arrived.

An on-the-ball telephone opera-tor realizing what had happened tothe first phone call rang the doc-tor's office again, and used thehowler, a graduated ring, long andloud. When she got him to thephone she told him to wait a fewminutes, because she thought hisparty would call again. Mrs. Allencalled in a few minutes and toldthe doctor what was going on. -Heleft immediately for the hospital.

Lying on LawnIn the meantime Dick was lying

out on the lawn. Along came apoliceman who began to questionDick as to how it happened. Hestarted to fill in a report. When heasked Dick his occupation, Dicksaid, "I'm a safety engineer atHawkeye, but for God's sake don'tlet that get in the newspapers."The next day one of the local news-papers listed his occupation as win-dow washer.

After Dick's arm was set andhis back began to return to normal,Stan sent his cartoons to him. Oneshowed a fellow standing on a roofwith his shoes nailed to the shinglesand two men holding him up. Theother was one of .a man fixing hiswindow from inside a large woodenbarrel, something to protect him inevent of a fall.

May you have a good Christmas!Will it be— ?What will make it so ?A tree—carols—a creche?A homey fireside—folk we love?Yes! •These help to make a true Christ-mas!It will also beStacks of printer's night-maresDelivered by a bone-tired postman.It will beThe buying of a lot of thingsFolks really don't need

And which we actually can't affordTo impress some people whomWe either don't care much about,Or else hope to wangle something

from !Is that cynical ?Call it what you like—but it's thetruth--at least part of it!Let's make Christmas,This year,Unembarrassed and honestGenuineness.Let us give to those we like—Without thought of a return!Let us sing and worshipIn true reverence, for,"They were wise men indeedWho followed the Star.From the haunts of theirchildhoodIt led them, afar.Lift thine eyes from the sod.Let the stars urge you on.They will lead you to God'ere your journey is done!"

As we wend our way homewardthis Christmas season of 1951 wehave much to think of that shouldenhance our feelings of happiness.The events that have transpired asa prelude to Christmas at homeare definite evidence that RIT ladsand lasses not only think of butact on the symbol of rendering un-to the less fortunate those boun-teous gifts that we are privilegedto enjoy. -

The f rat boys and their sistersorority members did much to en-gender within us that kindly spiritwhich is so prevalent during thelatter days of December. Poliostricken children shall enjoy thepleasures of television because theboys at the Spring Street Dormfelt they should. Kappa Sigma Kap-pa did much to make Christmas areality for those youngsters whoattend School No. 3 and Delta Omi-cron's baskets brought cheer tomany others. -

We hope that you all will realizethat other groups and RIT per-sonages did equally well in tendingto the Christmas needs of thosewho might otherwise have had ableak and less happy day. But, itseems deeds of this type are gra-ciously performed but seldom spo-ken of by the performers. To themall, we say Merry Christmas and aHappy New Year.

The knowledge that you haveperformed so well has made ourChristmas just a little happier. Weare proud to know that our fellowstudents are so kindly of thoughtand gracious of action as to re-member those others less fortun-ate. The friendships you have kin-dled and the respect and admira-tion you garner by these actsshould add much to your happinessduring this holy season.

Most of us are going to spendthe holidays with those near anddear to us but there are those whowill spend Christmas at RIT. Someare from distant lands while othersjust from distant parts of ourcountry. To them we extend anextra hearty greeting and the re-minder that from all of us to all ofyou there is a welcome mat infront of our door. Drop in to sayhello, we know it won't be like be-

ing home for Christmas but we'llall try to make home extra homeyfor you.

Until next year then when thewinsome writer of Campus Chat-ter returns to pound out this pat-ter we remain most grateful for allthose past happy moments youhave permitted us to share withyou. We look forward to the futurewith light hearted abandon be-cause we realize that the bond offriendship and affection that iswelded betwixt those who attendRIT is one of sincere devotion.

Be happy . . . Be merry .. .Be careful .. . Be back.

Summary:

By VIC DI CRISCIOnly a short time ago, an .idea

was conceived by a few RIT stu-dents that the need for a combin-ation social and athletic organiza-tion should be heeded. They wereaware of the existence, along withbeing participants, of the excellent,successful Riding Club and SkiClub. They were, however, alsovery interested in swimming.Through a little work and very ca-pable assistance from Mrs. MaryRobson, last year the idea emergedinto an actuality whereby theSwimming Club was formed andofficially recognized as part of RIT.

For those who are interested,this organization endeavors pri-marily to contribute as much aspossible to social and athleticneeds. Meetings are usually heldon alternate Tuesday eveningsduring the regular school year.

Clark Union is where the Swim-ming Club members gather. Thusfar, students of every departmenthave attended the meetings. Be-cause the Club is not departmentalnor limited to either young menor women, the opportunities areafforded for increasing one's ac-quaintances and furthering schoolcompanionship.

Following these short ClarkUnion meetings, where informaldiscussions are held, the groupstarts out for the City Natatoriumon South Avenue. Although onlya few blocks away from RIT,transportation has been furnishedin the past by the "aristocrats" ofthe Swimming Club so that seldomhas it been necessary to take thehealthy walk.

The Natatorium is the largestindoor pool in Rochester. It hasample facilities and the lifeguardsare constantly on the alert to seethat anyone desiring receives ex=pert instruction in swimming andand diving. Our friend Louie, thecaptain of the lifeguards and apractical joker, takes particularinterest in seeing that we have fun.

While at the pool, the girls andfellows mix exercise, fun, and evenwater combat so that everyoneshares in the consequent joys andfuture memories. After swimming

RIT Acquires PropertyOf Late Kate Gleason

An estimated $57,000 in prop-erty has been contributed to theRochester Institute of Technology's125th Anniversary Fund for the$30 million expansion program,according to an announcement to-day by Institute president, Dr.Mark Ellingson.

The property, 3434 East Ave.,Brighton, was given to the Insti-tute recently from the estate of thelate Kate Gleason, pioneer womanengineer and long-time benefactorof the Institute.

Retains UseEleanor Gleason, sister of Kate,

and one of the administrators ofthe estate, whose home is on theproperty, retains life use of thebuilding. The property has a front-age on East Ave. of 580 feet.

"This new and generous giftto RIT brings the total amountcontributed by Kate Gleason over aperiod of years to $263,750," saidDr. Ellingson. "Though, in generalgifts will not be publicized, theadministrators of the estate haveagreed that this contribution bemade known," he added.

Administrators NamedAdministrators, besides Miss

Eleanor Gleason are James P. B.Duffy and Carlton Bown, attorneys.

The name of Kate Gleason is aprominent one at RIT. Kate Glea-son Hall, women's dormitory atRIT was named in her honor in

1947. A gift of her silver tea ser-vice was made to the Institute in1949 and is the highlight of manysocial functions of the Dorm Coun-cil.

"Kate Gleasonis one of a longlist of famous Rochester peoplewho have had a part in chartingthe course of the Institute througha generous spirit of helpfulness;with money, effort, time, and sym-pathy," Dr. Ellingson said.

Kate Gleason FirstsKate Gleason was the first wo-

man member of the AmericanSociety of Mechanical Engineers.While studying engineering atCornell she was called home to aidin business affairs. She continuedstudy for a short time at the Insti-tute, and later won membershipin the ASME.

Her career was marked by anumber of other "firsts" for wo-men. She became the first womanpresident of a national bank whenshe assumed that position in theFirst National Bank of East Roch-ester. She was also the first womanmember of the American ConcreteInstitute.

"In a city noted for the pio-neering activities of women, thename of Kate Gleason stands highon the list of those whose contribu-tions have been of national andinternational significance," Dr.Ellingson stated.

Wrestling coach Earl Fuller andPhoto Tech's Jim Foster are exper-imenting with 16mm movies of thewrestling team for instructionalpurposes.

Coach Fuller has long been ofthe opinion that his team couldmaterially improve their techniqueby studying themselves in actionvia the motion picture.

At the Cornell match on Dec. 8the first pictures for this projectwere made.

The instructors had no idea ofthe many photographic problemsinvolved in a project of this type.but Foster maintains that they aremany and difficult.

The standard lighting providedfor a match at Jefferson High isfar under the requirements forgood continuous action pictures.This necessitates the using of highpowered supplementary lights thatcan seriously handicap the contest-ants during a match.

To find a method of taking theclearest pictures under these ad-verse lighting conditions, Foster isexperimenting with lenses fromEastman Kodak and Elgeet Opti-cal Co. The problem of chemicallyhypersensitized film is being dis-cussed with some of the Institutechemists.

Further developments of thisprogram are expected at the IthacaCollege match on Jan. 25.
