Among the more notable ac- complishments of the trip were (1) The making up of a ques- tionaire to be distributed among the faculty in order to determine just how much they know about Student Council and the school. (2) The writing of a preamble to the Student Council constitution which would define the purposes of Council. (3) The proposed dropping of the present social aspects of Council (Spring Week- end, daances, etc.) in lieu of a more cultural program for the students. The social aspects would be taken care of by a separate group. In summing up the weekend Council president Russ Trimble had this to say: "I feel that the retreat was a definite success and one that will positively be repeated in the future.

Winters Wins "Best Debater" ° At LeMoyne Barry A. Winters, President of the RIT Forensic Society, added another win to his record by taking the trophy for Best Af- firmative Debater at the LeMoyne College Debate Tournament. The tournament held March 29 and 30, drew 19 colleges and universities from the eastern United States. Among those participating, St. John Fisher, University of Roch- ester, University of Buffalo, Uni- versity of Syracuse, University of Vermont, New York University, Cortland State, Niagara Univer- sity, Colgate University, St. Bona- venture, and Linfield College from Oregon. Winters, who is completing four years of intercollegiate debating, has won seven first place awards since January I962. In addition, he has placed second and third on several occasions. This coming fall, Winters, who is graduating from the School of Photography in June, will enter the University of Oregon to study for his Master's Degree in Rhetoric and Public Adress. Also he has been offered the position of Manager of the For- ensic Library for the National Office of the Committee on Discussion and Debate, National University Extension Association. within the Institute's own resources. The Electrical De- partment made available a television camera and related closed circuit broadcast equipment. Additional materials were obtained through the School of Photo- graphy and other Institute sources. After the equip- ment was tested and lined-up properly in the Instruc- tional Resources Lab, it was moved to the School of Photography for use in Prof. Shoemaker's three-section course, "Materials and Processes." In early February students saw close up, on a ORATORY monitor, the proper use of a ballance for mixing dry chemical compounds.

Presentation in the classroom and the lecture halls can be coordinated by a technician in the Central Control Room. Duplicate control consoles in the audi- toriums (lecture halls), enable the instructor to make adjustments to suit his particular needs. The instructor may prepare his progrom, and then preview his ma- terials in special booths provided for this purpose. As- sistance from the Instructional Resources Laboratory is offered to help the instructor with the preparation of his program. The materials are left with the technician in the Center before the class begins. They are incorporated into the lecture or demonstration, as they are needed, by means of remote control. Work is now being done to make the Central Control Room even more flexible and effective. The Instructional Resources Laboratory works with the faculty to develop special programs, materials, and presentation techniques, whether they are used in the audio-visual center or in any other Institute class- room. Among its many other projects, the Instructional Re- sources Laboratory is presently working with tech- niques for the effective utilization of overhead pro- jection systems, to aid the faculty in their instruction. For many years the bulkiness and weight of overhead projectors made it very difficult to move them from room to room and almost impossible from building to building. Even though many instructors realized the potentials of such a flexible machine, it was very seldom used. Recent technical advances, however, have cut the weight of the projectors to just a few pounds. They can now easily be picked up with one hand and moved where needed. This development has brought a very strong, re- newed interest to the field of projected visuals, visuals that can be used in any lighted room, even without a screen. Courses can be developed around this flexible machine which will minimize the use of the chalk board. An instructor who has his class prepared on overhead transparencies, needs to waste no time writing or drawing tedious details on the board. Through the use of colored overlays, essential points in a lecture may be more easily developed in sequence and related. The recent addition of an Ozalid trans- parency processor to the Lab will greatly •aid the production possibilities of the projected visual materials. Associate Prof. Homer Imes, and Instructors Nina Sandberg and Harry Clemson of the Chemistry De. partment, among others, have been assisted by the IRL in developing a series of overhead materials spe- cifically related to certain parts of their General Chemistry courses. The Lab is also interested in closed-circuit television. At the request of Prof. William Shoemaker of the School of Photography, closed-circuit television is now being utilized to help him meet the problem of ef- fectively communicating to large classes in a rela- tively short time. A critical problem for this instructor. is how to present a detailed demonstration to a class of 60 or more students, who could not possibly group themselves around the demonstration table. The application of closed circuit television was sug- gested as possible, if only partial, solution to this problem. For this experiment, the IRL was able to obtain the necessary equipment and technical advice This is one of two auditoriums (M 219) which is ser- als, and others, can be done in one of six private preview viced by the Central Control Room (M 217).

In recent weeks there have been increasing incidents where individual copies of the Reporter have been hand addressed and mailed under the "bulk rate frank." This is highly illegal and puts the Institute's "bulk mailing" permit in jeopardy. The Institute has received a letter from the Rochester Post Office which indicates that RIT's bulk mailing permit will be cancelled if people continue to attempt to mail individual copies of the Reporter without paying the appropriate single piece mail- ing charges. Robert Tollerton, the Institute's Director of Purchasing, points out that if the Postal Dept. re- vokes the bulk permit then it will be impossible to mail cut the Reporter to alumni, businesses, schools, libraries, and friends. Tollerton asks that all students and Institute personnel cooperate, and that no further attempts be made to mail individual copies of the Reporter under the "bulk rate" permit. Individual copies must carry the proper posttage stamp for this class of mail.
