Ws All Around You- Mr. Martin To Attend Physics Conference Mr. Marlon Martin, chemis try and physical science in structor, will represent the Science Department of South eastern Community College at a Christmas Conference on Phys ics. The conference will be held on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill December 26-28. There will be three days of lectures and semi nars by physicists from all over the United States. Mr. Martin said the conference will be at tended by approximately ninety high school and college teachers. Unnoticed we all know about welding. Welding Is something you take when you're flunking college parallel. College parallel is where it’s at—money, freedom, opportunity, etc. well--every year students go the welding route ("for just one quarter”) and never come back to good old college parallel. Why? Well it seems that to day welding plays the most important part of any one de vice in the expansion of industry. Like opportunity and electricity, it’s all around you—unnoticed. From your morning shower and breakfast even, to riding home from school, and to light-out, you depend on welding. )It affords the only means of attaining sufficient strength of joining for all manner of space craft; when the first space plat form is assembled, welders will do the assembling. Faced with a population predicted to double in this century, researchers are now making plans to tap the re sources of that here-to-fore un tapped 70% ofthe planet’s surface which Is Its oceans. How will we make the machines to withstand ocean floor pressures? welders. ‘A welder In 20 years will be one of the most important men on our planet,” asserts Edward H.

Brunnie Cavanaugh, Emily Kelley, and Dale Coleman add the spirit of Christmas to the halls of SCC. Pate, head'of the Welding Depart ment at SCC. Mr. Pate, who by general consensus is doing a fine job of teaching here, is under going his first year at Southeast ern, having handed down his previous position at Wilson Tech to a former welding student with a bachelor’s degree in science. Mr. Pate expresses nothing but favor for his rfudents: “A man is lucky to get a class such as I’ve got; lucky to get boys of such high calibre. I have hi^ hopes for these students.” The best part Is that the stu dents can hold hl^ hopes for themselves. Topnotch welders receive beginning salaries as hi^ as $4.50 per hour. And they are very much in demand. The Student Personnel Office has a complete folder of letters from industries who are looking for graduates from the school of technology. Not only can welders, after one year of schooling, assured of a lifetime occupation; they can practically choose any part of the world in which to work—so widespread is the demand. Opportunity — Again, accord ing to Mr. Pate, "The welder and the welding machine make the greatest fabricating team on earth.” Scholarship; Eva B.
