By DR. R. W. BINGHAM
The exploding technology o our
times places an extreme respon
sibility upon the citizens of our
land, more especially those who
have chosen to work in fields
most directly affected. To keep
abreast of the deluge of scientific
and engineering knowledge and
the changing application that is in
herent therein, educational insti
tutions must evaluate their vari
ous programs continually, for ob
solrscence is the greatest decay
factor to progress.
Recognizing that engineering
and scientific technician education
in the United SUtes is in serious
need of re-evaluation, the General
Council of the American Society
for Engineering Education ap
pointed a committee to develop
criteria for evaluating engineering
technology education in the light
of advancing engineering and sci
entific knowledge.
Oregon Technical Institute was
represented on the committee of
ten members. The project was fi
nanced by a grant to the Society
by the National Science Foundation.
Historically, technical education
programs have been offered by
all types of institutions. Although
such programs are post-high
school in the sense that they
come after high school, the level
of difficulty has varied from that
of the high school to that of the
engineering college. Further, ir
the descriptions of these pro
crams, the terms level and qual
ity have been used indiscriminate
ly.
In its study the committee rec
ognized that science, health and
other technologies as well as engi
neering technology were contained
in the total manpower picture, but
it limited its investigation to the
engineering area. All that was de
veloped in this study could be ap
plied directly to the other tech
nology areas.
The scope of the study covered
I 1 1 definitions of terms related
to engineering technology, ' 2 ex
amination of weaknesses in the
present approach to technical edu
cation. 1' suggestions for mini
mum standards for selecting fac
ulty and students, and 141 explor
ation of curriculum requirements
in both technical and non-technical
areas.
The committee recognized that
more than one level of technician
education exists and, therefore,
that one level is closest tn that
of engineering education. It rec
ommended that the terms engi
neering technology education and
engineering technician be adopted
to represent this level of (.Uidy
and the practitioner, respectively.!
The following definitions are quot
ed from the report of the commit
tee: "Kniinecring technology is that
part of the engineering field which
requires the application of sciui
tilie and engineering knowledge
and methods combined with tech
nical skills in support of engineer
ing activities; it lies in the occu
pational area between the crafts
man and the encmoor at the end
of the area closest to the engi
neer." "An engineering technician is
one whose education and experi
ence qualify him to work in the
field of engineering technology. He
differs from a craftsman in his
knowledge of scientific and cni:i
neering theory and methods and
from an ensineor in his more spe
cialized hackcround and in his use

of technical skills in support of
engineering activities."
Programs which produce such
competence must be college-level
in depth. The term college-level
indicates the attitude with which
duration is approached, the rig
or, and the degree of achievement
demanded, and not solely or even
necessarily that the credits are
transferable to baccalaureate pro
grams.
The committee made tile follow
ing additional recommendations:
Faculty
"Since engineering technology
curricula are by definition col
lege-level, it Ls obvious that a pro
per proportion of the faculty
should have acquired at least a
baccalaureate degree. Since these
curricula are so closely related to
engineering, it is equally obvious
that a satisfactory engineering
technology faculty must contain a
substantial proportion of gradu
ate engineers. It is the commit
tee's opinion that approximately
half of the faculty members
teaching the technical specialties
should be graduate engineers or
the equivalent."
Students
A modern engineering technol
ogy curriculum will be based on
the assumption that incoming
students have been graduated
from an accredited secondarv
school or have had the equiva
lent education i substantiated by
the method recognized in their
state i.
It goes almost without saying
that the student should also exhib
it some evidence of sufficient abil
ty and the necessary aptitudes
for satisfactory achievement in
the curriculum. Mere possession
of a high school diploma does not
of itself, guarantee sufficient back
ground.
The committee believes, there
fore, that a satisfactory engineer
ing technology program should be
based upon the following mini
mum secondarv school units: a '
Three units of English, tb Two
units of mathematics, one of
which is in algebra and the other
in plane geometry 'or the equiva
lent of these in integrated modern
mathematics1. The committee
strongly suggests that, in addition
to these minimum units, intermed
iate algebra and trigonometry are
desirable. c ' One unit of physical
cience with laboratory."
Curriculum
First, a curriculum is an inte
grated sequence of organized
courses. This would imply that a
loose collection of courses, even
though all are in a given occupa-
ional area, does not constitute a
curriculum.
Secondly, a curriculum is
planned to fulfill a particular ob
jective within a specitied lime.
From this it follows that courses
designed (or a four-year program
in engineering would not, in most
ca-cs. be appropriate components
of a two-year program in engineer
ing technology.
For purposes of this study the
committee divided the cirriculum
ntn three major sections: Basic
science courses wnicn inciwic
mathematics and physical scioncc-
jenecs: technical courses, which in
clude technical skills and techni-
al specialties, and nontechni
cal courses, which include com-
munwtions, humanities, social
sciences, anri oilier llie-oricnieo
ourses Each of these general
reas will be discussed in detail
in subsequent articles.

Flapjack Flippers Set
For Big Pancake Race
LIBERAL, Kan. (UPD- Inex
perienced flapjack flippers will
carry the hopes of both sides this
week in the running of the annual
Shrove Tuesday Pancake Race
between women of Olney, Eng
land, and of this southwestern
Kansas town.
Both cities lost their star sprint
ers of last year.
Both cities were plagued by
bad weather as the women
worked out in preparation for the
race.
Police Book
Mardi Gras
Celebrants
NEW ORLEANS (UPD-Policc
who were still honking F'riday
night's Mardi Gras celebrants
when dawn broke, said Saturday
that the worst is yet lo come in
the nation's wildest and wettest
blowout before the privations of
Lent.
Mardi Gras is nnt until Tucs
day. But what New Orleans calls
"carnival" parades and limited
celebrations with business a;
usual started a week a tin.
Fridav night and early Satur
day, happy but unruly crowds
.started acting as if Tuesday had
already arrived. At least 50 were
wrested for exceeding legal limits
in making Rnurhon Street live up
lo its name.
The trouble started with a fight
at Tat O'Brien's, a night club on
St. Peter Street, just otf Bourbon
Street in the French Quarter. Po
lice found a big crowd "watching!
the fun. i
With snuad cars, dogs and on
horseback police started pushing
the crowd six blocks up Bourbon
and out of (he quarter. It took
two hours. Most of those arrested
were oul-of-lowners. booked on
charges of simple drunkenness or
refusing to move on.
Three were hooked for more
serious olfenses. A Tipton. Calif.,
man was treated for a police dog
bite and booked on charges of re
sisting arrest ' and refusing lo
move on.
Two teen-acers from Chatta
nooga, lorn.., were limKeo on
charges of carrying concealed
weapons. Police insisted that it
was not a really unusual night fnr
carnival and that they eH'it
worse later.
On Tuesday, everything c-Ioms
except bars and restaiuants.
Thousands of persons put on
masks and dance up and down
the blocked off streets to the
music of Dixieland jaz bands.
Most of the revelry ends at mid
night Tuesday, the beginning of
Lent.
In hnglancl. a dozen women
fought snow and mud to practice
daily on the winding 415-yard
course from the Bull Hotel lo the
parish church gate. A dispatch
from Olney bemoaned the "ideal
weather" conditions it said were
reported in Liberal.
That was last week. More re
cently temperatures here nose
dived to below freezing and gales
blowing off Hocky Mountain snow
fields raked the plains with force
to throw a prizefighter off bal
a nee.
Liberal runners wished aloud
mat tnev could trade Kansas
wind for English mud.
A marker in their race each
year is the "town pump." a bit
difficult to locate in practice ses
sions because it exists only on
Pancake Day, when it is hauled
nut and installed for the occa
sion.
This year's contenders included
housewives, a telephone operator,
a waitress, and a secretary. They
range from 19 to 28 years old.
In Liberal, where the race is
onlv one feature of a day-long
celebration in which 5.000 persons
last year consumed about 15.0(H)
pancakes, local contestants
divide $325 in cash.
Lioeral runners hope to even
the score in the international eon-
test, if not to set a record time.
Currently the victory count in the
race, heeun in W.Vt, stands at
seven fnr the British, six for the
Americans. The speed record was
set by Mrs. Binnie Dick nf Lib
eral in 10.")."). She covered the
nurse, skillet in hand, skirt flap
ping, and pancake flipping three
imes en route, in one minute,
ive seconds flat.

WASHINGTON l'PI Sen.
Richard B. Russell says he be
lieves that in the future U.S.
pilots ill shoot first and ask
questions Liter when they see
Communist planes attack vessels
in international waters.
The Georgia Democrat, chair
man of the Senate Armed Serv
ices uimmittee, made the state
ment after a briefing by Defense
Secretary Robert S. McN'amara
liefore the committee.
Russell also said McN'amara
made it clear that the United
States' policy is to "eliminate"
Castroism and communism in
Cuba.
On the matter of incidents such
as the one Wednesday in which
a Cuban MIG fired on an Ameri
can shrimp boat. Russell said
"there is no doubt in my mind
that in the future American planes
even it done in error will retaliate."
'I'm sure our planes w ill shoot
down Russian-tve planes which
appear tn be attacking our ships
in international waters even if
the nationality of the ship can
not he positively established at
once and worry later about any
error that may have been involved."
Russell made the statement as
both administration and congres
sional authorities shrugged off
the warning by Soviet Defense
Minister Marshal Rodio Malinov-
ky. who said any attack on
Cuba would trigger World War
111.
Secretary of Stale Dean Rusk
said Malinovskv's speech w a s
just about what you'd exiled on
the 45th anniversary of the So
viet armed forces."
McN'amara. discussing the
shrimper incident before meeting
with Russell's committee, said
U.S. pilots were cautious in deal
ing with the M1GS that fired on
the trawler.

Shah's Date
Troubled
SAN FRANCISCO HIPH - In
W58 Kllen Forseth was the envy
of the nation's airline stewardess
es because she had a dale with
the Shah of Iran.
She was 2S then, and pretty.
She breathed to newsmen, "the
Shah is nice, a good dancer." She
said later she had lo leave town
because of all the crank telephone
calls she received.
Today she is broke and ill with
iniple sclerosis, living in
dingy room in San Francisco's
Mission District.
She has a 19-mnnth old son who
was horn with a harelip and
clell palate. She has applied for
aid to needy children funds.
"I'm living on borrowed money
inri borrowed lime." she said.
The Shah dated her in San Fran
isco shortly alter his divorce
from Queen Snraya. They met on
his Pan American World Airways
llight from Tokyo to San Fran-
ciscn.
Post Office Addition Plans Readied
the GSA and Hurea of the
liudget have approved the en
largment and remodelling of the
post office.
Hie administration requested
that StfO.nnn of the total cost be
included in the 1W4 fiscal year
budget. This now awaits approval
by the Appropriations Committee
of both houses of Congress.
Although the original plans
called Inr construction to start
ill January 1M, construction
probably won't start or at least
three months.
The plan calls for a two-story
annex on the Walnut Avenue side
and one-story 'additions at the
rear and Oak Avenue sides. The
reinforced concrete structures
will be faced with brick lo match
the present building.
The new facililies will about
double the building's interior
space, the parking area and the
truck ramp.
The post office will contain 53.
8511 square feci nf space when
;'onslruction is completed. An im
portant addition will he banks
of new post office boxes, many
of which will he the large type
used hy businessmen.
The old building will be re
modeled and a new air condi
tioning system will be installed.
The old building was constructed
in 1!W0 and the decor and fixtures
are considered outdated.
One of the remodeling features
will he a large fallout shelter in
tlie basement. Basement space
will be expanded to include a
storage room, rest rooms, em
ploye lockers and air conditioning
facilities.
