CHICAGO — A contract for construction of a $3,200,000 Life Sciences Building for Illinois Institute of Technology has been awarded to Power Construction, Inc o , general contractors of Oak Park, Illinois, Raymond Jo Spaeth, IIT vice-president and treasurer, announced today.
The building was designed by the architectural firm of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and is in harmony with the master plan of IIT's campus drawn up by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe . Construction is expected to be completed by September, 1966.
The four-level structure, at the corner of 31st and State Streets, will house the Biology; Psychology and Education; Political and Social Sciences; Business and Economics; and Language, Literature and Philosophy departments of the university as well as the IIT Metropolitan Studies Center and the Health Research Center.
Funds for the building will come from voluntary contributions from individuals, foundations, corporations and some federal grants.
-more-
ADD 1 ~
To be built of a steel frame with brick and glass curtain walls, the building has among its unusual features an anechoic (no echo) chamber; a 250 -seat auditorium which can be divided into three separate teaching areas; a psychology counseling center and a children's therapy room; and laboratories for animal studies including dark, cold and instrument rooms; and two dome rooms to be used for studies on loss of orientation.
Plans call for the anechoic chamber to be literally suspended in the air in order to facilitate sound experiments, with special wells to insulate this chamber from elevators in the building. Flexible dividers will be used in the auditorium to divide the 250 seat capacity room into two classrooms for more than 100 students each and a theater workshop on the stage area =
The Life Sciences building is a project in IIT's current $25 million campaign for development of faculties, academic programs, and physical facilities.

CHICAGO — A new educational and scientific computer language designed specifically for student use was described today at a national meeting of computer users held at the Pick-Congress Hotel, Chicago. Written under the auspices of Illinois Institute of Technology, the new system of simplifying mathematical and logical statements in English for use with computers has been dubbed "IITRAN," a combination of the university's initials and "tran" for translator.
As described by William S. Worley, Jr., a staff member of the IIT Computation Center and chief developer of IITRAN, the new language enables computers to process relatively simple problems, in quantity, much faster than the older computer languages which were designed primarily for use in advanced scientific research or for commercial or industrial purposes. The effectiveness of the new language together with the improved efficiency of large advanced computers makes feasible the routine use of advanced computers by undergraduates and even secondary school students.
-more-
s '■' ' ''-^^
t. ■
ADD 1 —
Dr. Peter G. Lykos, director of the IIT Computation Center, has stated that, with IITRAN, the cost of undergraduate use of the Center's computer facilities is now approximately that of student use of a library; that is, using IITRAN, a student can have enough time on IIT's IBM 7040 computer to handle a typical student problem for less than the cost of circulating a book from the public library.
IITRAN, like other computer languages, is essentially a means of translating a few complex statements in English into an equivalent set of very many simple instructions which are comprehensible to a computer. IITRAN can be used by students with no background in computer programming after about one hour of instruction, according to Dr. Lykos.
Worley, who is also assistant director of the University of Chicago Computation Center, and Ronald R. Hochsprung, another IIT staff member, described the new language at a meeting of SHARE, an organization composed of about 1400 users of certain models of IBM computers, which is meeting this week in Chicago.

CHICAGO — A research sociologist. Dr. Wilbert A. Moore, tonight became the president of the American Sociological Association succeeding Dr. Pitirim Sorokin of Harvard, Moore's one-time teacher.
The new ASA president, a sociologist on the staff of the Russell Sage Foundation, New York City, takes the reigns of the society for the second time. As vice-president of the ASA in 1960, Moore assumed the duties of the presidency upon the death of President Howard Becker,
Moore earned his Ph.D. at Harvard in 1940. He has the title of visiting lecturer at Princeton University (Princeton, N. J.) with the rank of professor. He was professor of sociology at Princeton previous to July 1964 when he joined the Russell Sage Foundation. As Moore explains, "The foundation was founded in 1907 for the improvement of living conditions of the people of the United States and has become an institute for research in sociology."
The author of numerous books including Man, Time and Society, Social Change and Industrial Relations and the Social Order, Moore is currently working on research on the role of philanthropy in American Society.

CHICAGO — The average starting salary for Illinois Institute of Technology engineering graduates this year reached a record high of $635 per month, according to Earl C. Kubicek, I IT director of placement and alumni relations. The comparable average in 1960 was $519 and in 1955 $382.
Pointing out that engineering starting incomes vary annually according to specialized fields, Kubicek indicated that I IT graduates with bachelor's degrees in electrical engineering were at the top of the 1965 salary scale with an average starting salary of $647 per month. Other averages were: metallurgical engineers, $646; chemical engineers, $636; mechanical engineers, $635; civil engineers, $603; industrial engineers, $596. Candidates receiving master's degrees commanded an average starting salary of approximately $100 per month more than those receiving bachelor's degrees.
"These figures are a clear indication of increasing demand for well-educated engineers in this country," Kubicek said.
-more-
I ADD 1 — Engineering Starting Salaries
The 1965 averages were reached after analysis of over 2,200 personal interviews between representatives of industry throughout the country and members of IIT's graduating classes of January and June 1965.
Kubicek stated that such a large percentage of those receiving bachelor's degrees in the physical sciences go on directly to graduate school that it is not feasible to cite meaningful statistics on starting salaries for these graduates.
Kubicek also pointed out that the average starting salaries of IIT business and economics graduates are some $25 per month above the national average of business administration graduates.

CHICAGO —
Fifteen students from developing countries are completing a new summer program called Training Opportunities in Youth Leadership (TOYL) at the Illinois Institute of Technology. Similar experimental programs under the sponsorship of the Institute of International Education have been held at eleven other universities across the
country.
These students are expected to perform key roles in the economic and social development of their countries, not only in their own fields as engineers, administrators, and educators, but also as responsible citizens. The program at IIT was designed to help prepare them for these roles. It has included courses, seminars, and field trips emphasizing various aspects of economic development.
Currently, the students are participating in the concluding seminar which focuses on the question, "How the level of economic and social development in tny country affects the work of my profession in that country,"
Majid Ainouz is training in the United States as a Hydraulics Engineer for Algeria, a country in which the management of water resources is of vital importance for future development. In his report for this seminar, he explained that the Sahara Desert covers most of his country and is almost uninhabited while a narrow strip of land alon- the Mediterranean is overpopulated. It is difficult to persuade people to go into the inhospitable Sahara to exploit the rich mineral resources that are known to exist tVere. To overcome this difficulty, Mr. Ainouz proposes huge irrigation projects using under-
-more-
ADD 1 ~
ground water or even desalinated sea water. By increasing the area of vegetation, these projects would not only provide a source of food products but they would also gradually change the entire climi^te in the area, making it more inhabitable and opening it up for development. Mr. Ainouz intends to contribute to the solution of the tremendous technological problems that at the present time prevent the realization of
of such projects.
Another seminar peurticipant , In-Kuin Kim of Korea, is in the early stages of his undergraduate education sind has not yet chosen his profession. He made use of the seminar assignment to explore a problem that will profoundly affect his choice: the unemployment of highly educated people in Korea, And Manouchehr Homayoun, a Civil Engineer from Iran, discussed the problems he will face in persuading the people and government of his country of the importance of sanitary engineering in the eradication of disease.
The importance of agriculture, water and sanitation, and industry was emphasized in a series of field trips organized for the TOYL group. Recently they have visited the Kane County Agricultural Fair and two farms in Kane County; they have observed Chicago's new Central Water Filtration Plant and the Metropolitan Sanitary District's Southwest Sewage Treatment Works in operation. They have toured urban renewal projects in Chicago and visited the U.S. Steel Corporation's South Works plant. Thus they have seen how one metropolitan area in the United States has faced the problems of development.

CHICAGO, Sept. 22 — A gift of $1,000,000 to Illinois Institute of Technology to make possible the construction of a new gymnasium and swimming pool was announced today by Dr. John T. Rettaliata, IIT president. The grant was made by Arthur Keating, The Ekco Foundation and The Arthur Keating Foundation. Mr. Keating is chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Ekco Products Company, Total cost of the building will be $2,000,000.
The million-dollar gift was made to the recently announced IIT campaign for $25,000,000 to develop the university's faculties, programs and facilities. Gifts to the campaign now exceed $8,000,000, according to Maynard P. Venema, chairman of the board of Universal Oil Products Company, who is general chairman of the IIT campaign.
The new gymnasium will be known as Arthur Keating Hall> According to its designers, it will be the only glass gymnasium in the world, with above-ground construction entirely of glass and steel. It will face Michigan Avenue at 31st Street, replacing a temporary structure used by the university for its physical education and intramural programs since 1947, Construction of the new building is expected to begin in November.

ADD 1 — Arthur Keating Hall
Dr. Rettaliata said that the gymnasium is an important part of the IIT master plan for academic and physical plant development. "This generous gift from Mr o Keating," he said, "makes it possible to proceed at once in providing one of the most needed, and from the student point of view, one of the most wanted facilities for the IIT campus community »" He pointed out that with the growing residential character of the campus, this need has become especially acute. "Proper athletic facilities are particularly necessary at an institution where academic programs are difficult and demanding," Dr o Rettaliata declared.
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill are architects for the new building.
Its curtain walls will consist of two layers of gray glass laminated
to a frost vinyl sheet to provide high impact resistance as well as
control of sunlight. It will be a three-level structure with two
of its levels below ground, including an olympic-size swimming pool
with spectator seating, which will be called Ekco Pool o Seventy-two
thousand square feet of floor space will include a basketball court
seating 2,000 spectators, which can be converted into a convocation I
center; indoor facilities for handball, squash, basketball, tennis
and all aquatic sports; and offices and classrooms for the physical
education department. Adjoining the gym will be a regulation outdoor
track for field events plus a regulation baseball diamond.

ADD 2 — Arthur Keating Hall
Arthur Keating Hall will enable IIT to offer better schedules in intercollegiate sports, better practice facilities, and a well-rounded physical education program, according to Bernard "Sonny" Weissman, IIT director of athletics = "We will now be able to more than double the number of students participating in both intramural and varsity sports," he saido
Mr. Keating is a member of the board of trustees of IIT and in 1964 received the Distinguished Service Award of the IIT Alumni Association and was awarded a doctor of laws degree by Loyola University of Chicago in 1960 „ He was graduated in mechanical engineering in 1916 from Armour Institute of Technology, a predecessor of IITj and was among the few men in the history of the institution to win 9 letters in athletics, captaining the baseball, basketball and track teams o
At the announcement of the new facilities today, Mr, Keating recalled that in his college days students could not participate in athletics until after the labs and shops had closed at 5 o'clock in the afternoon o "It was only after that that we could go to
Ogden Field or the old gym« We usually finished about 7 or 8 o'clock
I at night, but despite the difficulty of engaging in athletics at
the time, I wouldn't trade that experience for anything," he said.
When Mr, Keating was a student, the indoor athletic facilities
1 consisted of a small room on the fifth floor of the old administration
building.

ADD 3 — Arthur Keating Hall
After graduating, Keating went to work for his father's relatively small metal working business, which he built into the world's largest manufacturer of houseware and commercial baking containers. His company now employs 5000 people in 27 plants and produces more than 3000 products o He is also founder and chairman of the board of England's largest houseware manufacturing company, the Prestige Group, Ltd.

CHICAGO — A collection of "found objects" — the old, the shopworn, the rusty — goes on display Oct. 4 through Oct. 29 in Crown Hall, the Mies van der Rohe-designed glass building on the Illinois Institute of Technology campus which houses the I IT Institute of Design, h The exhibit, open to the public daily, features some
two-hundred examples of craftmanship in such ordinary things as a stove-top ornament, metal stampings and a child's toy. The collection was compiled by IIT alumnus Charles Swedlund and
Professor Oscar Bailey for the State University College at Buffalo,
I
New York. Now on tour, the exhibit features pre-formed natural or
manufactured fragments removed from their environment and presented for examination and contemplation in a new and artistic setting. L The purpose of the exhibit is to offer the public a chance to recognize objects of "doubtful parentage" as legitimate tenants of the art gallery.

CHICAGO — Illinois Institute of Technology's cross-country team turned in a double victory in a triangular meet held last Saturday, Dctober 9. The Techawks, led by freshman Nick Kokoran defeated Rockford College and Illinois Teachers College (formerly Chicago Teachers College)
Overall scores were:
IIT 37 Rockford 39 lie 44
Individually: IIT beat Rockford and Illinois Teachers by the same score, 26-29; Rockford beat IIC 25-30.
IIT's triumph may foreshadow a fine season for Coach Harry Ault's runners. The meet, held on IIT's home course between 31st and 45th Streets South at the Lake, opened the season for the Techawks. They will travel to Rockford next Saturday, the 16th, for the Rockford Invitational Tourney, in an attempt to better their 2-0 mark.
Freshman Nick Kokoran placed first for IIT and second overall with a 17:34. Kokoran graduated from Harrington High School in Harrington where he ran two years of cross-country. Gene Thompson from IIC was first overall with a 17:27. Mike Quinn, returning from last year's IIT squad, took third overall with an 18:03.
Although Coach Ault is new this year, he certainly is a familiar face around IIT. He coached the cross-country team prior to last year and has already improved last year's record of only one victory. He is also IIT's varsity tennis coach.

The IIT president said that enrollment in the university's freshman engineering courses increased 27.9 per cent over the previous year. This compared with a national average increase of 12.1 per cent in freshman engineering enrollments. Increase in enrollments in the physical sciences was still greater, rising 36 per cent over the previous year. Full-time graduate enrollment in all academic areas was up more than 22 per cent, Dr. Rettaliata stated. Other highlights of the year included;
Completion of a new dormitory and food services addition, costing $825,000. The dormitory was ready for occupancy in June and brings campus housing capacity for individual students to a total of 1200.
On May 2, 1965, formal ground-breaking ceremonies were held for a new $3,200,000 Life Sciences Building to serve the departments of the College of Liberal Arts and to provide special facilities for education and research in the life sciences areas. Construction of the building, now in progress, is scheduled for completion early in the fall of 1966. - Arthur Keating Hall, a $2,000,000 all glass-and-steel gymnasium and swimming pool, recently made possible by a $1,000,000 gift from Mr. Arthur Keating, The Ekco Foundation, and The Arthur Keating Foundation, will be under construction before the end of 1965.

In preparation for the construction of the Life Sciences Building and other new structures now in the planning stage, steam and electric lines were extended to provide the necessary utility services. These extensions, which included two new concrete tunnels carrying utility lines under State Street at 32nd and 34th Streets, cost $550,000.
Completion of the construction of two additional wings to the dormitory accommodations to provide housing for 330 students is anticipated by the start of the 1966-67 academic year. The new buildings will be completely air-conditioned and will cost $1, 500,000.
Plans are being developed for the first of two engineering buildings to be constructed on State Street between 31st and 32nd Streets. The first unit, a three-level structure containing 134,000 square feet, will house the departments of mechanical and aerospace engineering, laechanics, industrial engineering, and mathematics. The estimated cost of the first of the engineering buildings is $3,500,000.

\ CHICAGO — = Danish designer Finn Juhl is spending six weeks at
Illinois Institute of Technology's limstitute of Design as a visiting lecturer.
Working with advanced design students--from the junior year through the graduate level--Juhl said he can only teach the method of design, he can't teach talent » Frankly admitting that he is trying to "kill" the students with work, he has given them the problem of designing an office for a corporation vice president. The problem includes finding out what kind of person will work in the room; his functions and mode of operation, as well as his needs for furniture »
Denmark's architect at the U.No Headquarters in New York, Juhl designed the Trusteeship Council Chamber o He says the principle of furniture design is exactly the same as the principle of architecture: to suit the needs of the "human person »"
Juhl will complete his work at the Institute of Design Thanksgiving week and will visit Japan before returning to Copenhagen.

CHICAGO -- Illinois Institute of Technology's varsity cross-country team toppled Illinois Teachers College for the third time on November 13, jnding their 1965 season with a reputable 6-3 record.
Nick Kokoran, outstanding freshman runner from Barrington, 111., took top honors with a sparkling time of 16:39, his best of the year. \ Norwegian senior, Wiran Bjorkmann, was second man for IIT. Mike Quinn, »ho followed Bjorkmann and finished fourth in the race, turned in a 17:15. Canavino and Oldani were the other scorers for the Techawks . JThis final meet was the first time Oldani was able to try his legs since the first meet of the year when he injured his hip. The final score was 22-33.
Coach Harry Ault, who resumed leadership of the cross-country team this year, is quite proud of the team's commendable performance. This is the first year that IIT's cross-country team has managed to exceed jthe .500 mark in many seasons.

I IT VARSITY OPENS 1965-66 SEASON
CHICAGO — Basketball: A young IIT five will open its 1965-66 season at North Park College on Saturday, December 4 at 8:00 p.m.
' Three and possibly four freshmen will be in the starting line-up for the Techawks. At the moment it is not known whether junior co-captain Bob Jewett will be available so coach Ed Glancy, starting his 18th campaign at IIT, might be forced into starting a fourth freshman. Co-captain Jay Kurtzman, leading 1964-65 scorer, will be at one guard; 6-5 freshman Jerry Jacobsen will start at center and two freshmen, 6-4 Eric Wilson and 6-3 Rick Klein, will be the forwards.
1 In the event that Jewett is not available, either 6-2 freshman
Pete Boricic or 6-2 freshman Jerry Hutchins will start alongside Kurtzman
Much needed depth will be supplied, again by freshmen, in the persons of 6-6 Lee Gleason and 6-6 Jim Wildenradt. Veteran letterman Ed Skalka will also see action.
After a few practice scrimmages, the Techawk cagers are working as a strong unit, the added experience helping to acquaint the younger men with college ball. Two-season veterans Kurtzman and Jewett looked

and excellent passing ability, Jewett for his aggressiveness, power,
and smooth jump shot. Amazingly, freshman Jacobsen fitted into the
center slot as if he had been born there, showing a good knowledge of
the position and executing fine moves o The team height averages 6-2/
over the starting five — an inch higher than last year's team.
Coach Glancy and assistant Ed Maracich have added three new
schools to their 65-66 schedule: North Park College (scheduled for
December 4) , University of Dubuque (scheduled for December 11 and
February 22) and the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee (scheduled

CHICAGO — A bequest of approximately $333,000 from the estate of the late Mrs. Grace L. Flinn of Chicago to provide scholarships for students in need of financial assistance at Illinois Institute of Technology was announced today by Dr. John T. Rettaliata, president of I IT. Mrs. Flinn died in May of this year.
According to the terms of the will, IIT is to invest the money and use the proceeds to establish the Melville S. Flinn Fund, named in honor of Mrs. Fl inn's late husband, a member of the class of 1904 at Armour Institute of Technology, one of the predecessors of IIT. Mr. Flinn, who died in 1937, was co-founder of Flinn and Dreffein Engineering Co., Chicago, with Henry A. Dreffein, now retired, a fellow AIT alumnus. The firm was formed in 1907 and today specializes in the manufacture and installation of industrial f urnances .
The First National Bank of Chicago and Justin Stanley of the firm of Isham, Lincoln and Beale, co-executors of the will, anticipate that final distribution of the estate will probably take place by September of 1967, at which time the scholarship fund will be established,

CHICAGO — Basketball; Illinois Institute of Technology dropped its opener to North Park, 82-68, The defeat, Coach Ed Glancy feels, was due to first game mistakes, which, due to the lack of college experience and infancy of the season, were expected. The squad worked very well in the first half, keeping the lead for all but the last few minutes. It was mainly a let-down in defense and hustle which caused North Park to surge ahead in the last part of the second half for the victory.
The young IIT squad looked extremely good in the first half and in the first part of the second half. Due to depth of talent, especially in the freshman section of the squad, Coach Ed Glancy is going to be able to platoon his men, going strongly with Jay Kurtzman, Bob Jewett, and Rick Klein. Juniors Kurtzman and Jewett, co-captains and two-season veterans at IIT, will have the job of directing floorwork. Kurtzman, who was top scorer last year and who netted 21 against North Park, is a graduate of Roosevelt High School, in Chicago. Jewett from Robbinsdale, Minnesota, is unexcelled in strength and hustle. Rick Klein, freshman from Immaculate Conception High School in Elmhurst, was second high

scorer last Saturday with 15, and displayed good rebounding strength. His excellent fakes under the basket gave the Techawks a few extra buckets. Two freshmen whose performances indicated tremendous potential were Jim Wildenradt and Eric Wilson, both over 6-5.
Dominican College will tangle with IIT on Tuesday, December 7; St, Ambrose the following Friday and Dubuque on Saturday. All games are held at the IIT gymnasium, located on the corner of 32nd and Dearborn Streets, at 8:00 p.m.
Wrestling: The Techawks picked up their first win of the season against Elmhurst College, 18-14, as Tom Kincaid and Tom Sourlis picked up pins for I IT. After dropping their opener to the University of Illinois (Chicago) on Wednesday, Dec. 1, the grapplers were glad to shave Elmhurst, leveling their record at 1-1. In the 147 lb. class, Sourlis, first-season man with the Techawks, downed his man with a 1:15 remaining in the second period. Kincaid, a sophomore returning letterman, leveled his opponent in the first period with a time of 1:30. Kincaid is in the 152 Ibo bracket.
Other wins were picked up by sophomore letterman George Derby on riding time, and Dave Saalfield, another newcomer to the squad, on points. Coach Tony Barbaro was quite pleased with the team and hopes to rack up another win when Aurora meets IIT next Wednesday, Dec, 15, at the gym.

Swimming: The swim team was edged out by Milwaukee Institute of Technology at Milwaukee last Saturday, 60-35. The score does not represent a true picture of the meet, however, as the two teams are not so unequal in ability. Unfortunately, llT's lack of depth caused the overburdened swimmers to fall off in their later events while MIT was able to continue strongly, snatching the victory.
Two-year letterman and captain Steve Keller managed to edge out his MIT opponent in the 200 yd. freestyle to capture first in that event. Stu VanDyck, letterman returning from last year, won diving, followed by freshman Jerry Ozaniec, who took second. Both Keller and VanDyck, as well as outstanding freshmen Andy Newhoff and Mike Hinz, were entered in three events respectively. The rest of the 15-man squad which Coach Ted Erikson took to Milwaukee were undeveloped and not yet in shape, but potentially fine swimmers.
As was with MIT, this was IIT's first meet. The Techawks go again on Wednesday the 8th vs. Wright Junior College and on Friday the 10th against George Williams College, a perennially strong school in swimming. Both meets are to be held at the Valentine Boys' Club pool, located at 34th and Emerald Streets in Chicago. Meet time is 5:15,

I I IT SWIM TEAM'S THIRD LOSS IN A ROW
Yet to vanquish one of its foes, the I IT team dropped its third meet in a row to a powerful George Williams College in Chicago by the score of 61-34 last Friday evening.
I IIT's Steve Keller picked up a first in the 200-yard butterfly and freshman Steve Skopek took first in the 200-yard breaststroke with times of 2:54.3 and 3:08.0 respectively. The 400-yard freestyle relay team, composed of Mike Fritts, Mike Hinz, Steve Keller, and Harley Feldman also took first with a 4:42.7, by default.
George Williams, however, took eight firsts and six seconds. Homan racked up a double victory with firsts in the 60-yard freestyle (30.8) and the 100-yard freestyle (57.5).
I IT Coach Ted Erikson remarked that Mike Fritts is a most improved swimmer who has shown a tremendous amount of progress in the last week in the 200-yard freestyle. Other members of the team who Erikson feels could help the team, if given a chance to develop, are Bob Bachta, Steve Skopek ,Gartz , Roman, Punj , and Harley Feldman.

IIT v& ST. AMBROSE
CHICAGO — A smoothly-operating IIT five defeated highly-ranked St. Ambrose College, from Davenport, Iowa, last Friday, 67-62. St. Ambrose, entering the game with a 4-0 record, was handed its first defeat of the season, as Jay Kurtzman paced the IIT cagers with 21 pts.
The Techawks coupled a tremendously improved defense with a notable shooting percentage from the floor to give them the edge over the Bees. The team made very few mistakes and pulled off exceptionally good fast breaks. In the second half, the squad shot a remarkable 68% from the floor, mostly from the hands of Kurtzman and Bob Jewett.
IIT got off to an early lead and kept it until late in the first half, when St. Ambrose took over 19-18. The Bees kept the lead until the half, but the game was neck and neck with the half-time score 36-32. After an opening exchange of buckets, the dynamic IIT crew sank four baskets in a row to take the lead. St. Ambrose managed to keep close behind, and in the middle of the second half momentarily led 45-44, However, Jewett and freshmen Rick Klein and Eric Wilson tallied three field goals in a row to give the squad the lead for the rest of the contest. In the last few minutes, IIT managed to build the lead up to

eight points, but to secure the victory they allowed the final difference to drop to five points, and, as the buzzer sounded, the score-clock read 67-62. The sweet taste of IIT's victory, especially at the expense of St o Ambrose's untarnished record, was reflected on jubilant Coach Ed Clancy's face.
IRONIC DEFEAT BY DUBUQUE
It was ironic that the IIT clan, after defeating 4-0 St, Ambrose, should lose to 0-4 University of Dubuque, the next night. To make the irony complete, St. Ambrose had defeated Dubuque earlier in the season. Perhaps the only good thing about IIT's resounding 104-70 defeat by the Dubuque Spartans was Bob Jewett's season high 25 points and the effort he displayed against the enemy in the second half.
The Techawks didn't play with the same jittery lack of control which caused them to lose to North Park in their opener, but they could never seem to get moving. A large number of errors were made and careless play led to bad passes, throwing away balls, and many bad shots. There was also a notable drop in the shooting percentage from the night before, especially in free-throws, IIT scoring only 12 for 25, or less than 50% (70% is an average team percentage) .
Although Jewett netted 25 and Klein gleaned 21 for his season high, key man Kurtzman chalked up only 6.

ADD 2 — I IT Sports
IIT started off slowly while Dubuque's outside men went to work right away, nailing down 44 points. Guard Dennis Moylan of Dubuque led all shooters in accuracy with an 83% from the field. Jewett ended the first half with a spectacular three-quarter court toss that was good, dropping through as the buzzer went off. IIT now has a 1-3 record.
ERIC WILSON, PROGRESSIVE FRESHMAN, GIVES GLANCY HOPE FOR SOLID STARTER
Eric Wilson, 6-5 freshman forward-center, has turned in two
impressive performances since last week, exhibiting an extremely
accurate jump shot (57%) and an 82% from the foul line. He also
worked well on the boards accumulating eight rebounds against Dubuque
last Saturday. Other members of the team that Glancy counts on consistently
are freshman Rick Klein, who is now leading the team in rebounds with
9 per game and averaging 16 points; junior Bob Jewett, who is now
leading the team in scoring with 17.7 points per game; and Kurtzman,
who is averaging 16,7 points and on whom Glancy depends to keep the
squad organized on the court.

CHICAGO — Most parents would not knowingly cut their children off from future opportunities for college scholarship funds, yet hundreds of Illinois parents do just that each year, according to Ralph J. Godzicki, assistant dean of students at Illinois Institute of Technology.
Godzicki, completing his third year as a member of an Illinois State Scholarship Commission committee, said parents who fail to return a scholarship application to the State Scholarship Commission by early February 1966, will automatically remove their children from state scholarship consideration for the remainder of their college years.
The scholarship commission will award up to $1000 a year to Illinois students to be used for higher education within the state, beginning next September, In the current school year the commission pays tuition up to $750, The award in each case depends upon the student's financial need. Successful applicants can renew their awards yearly if they maintain adequate grade levels. Honorary scholarships — which carry the possibility of future monetary grants but no current financial aid — are awarded to those students whose parents return the financial

information forms showing either that they do not wish to request aid or that they do not need financial aid in providing higher education for their children.
However, Godzicki said, should family financial situations change during the student's college career, a parental form on file — even if it is signed only with the parents name and address, requesting an honorary scholarship and showing no financial information — will give the student the opportunity to re-apply for state scholarship aid. If the parent fails to return the financial form, his child will receive no further consideration.
Students eligible for the Illinois State Scholarship program took the American College Testing Program examination (ACT) in November and requested that the scores be forwarded to the State Scholarship Commission as well as the college or colleges of his choice.
To be eligible for a state scholarship an applicant must be a legal resident of the State of Illinois, must have successfully completed the program of instruction at an approved high school, or currently be enrolled as a student in good standing at such a school and be engaged in a program which will be completed by the end of August of the year of his application, must have academic standing in the upper half of his class at the end of six semesters of high school, and must use the scholarship at an institution of higher learning within the state.

In computing financial need, the scholarship commission determines college costs by standard formulas » When a student lives at home and commutes to college, the commission figures expenses as tuition and fees plus an $800 allowance for personal expenses, books and transportation. For on-campus students the formula is tuition and fees plus room and board as well as a personal allowance of $450 and book expenses of $75.
In analyzing the parents' confidential financial statements, the commission takes into consideration the size of the family, net income, assets, other college expenses, unusual expenses, and expectations from student earnings and assets. Godzicki pointed out that home ownership, for example, is computed as the equity the parents have in the house, not as the original cost. Evaluators also take into consideration emergency allowances, debts, reserves for family retirement plans, etc.
