Woman Engineering Student Plans To Be Draftsman
By Phil Gray
A woman taking civil engineer ing! Here?
Yes, right here in Marvin hall.
But civil engineers are hairy-
chested boys with bulging biceps
who chase all over the map mowing
down dunes to build railroads,
running roads over mountains,
and bridging chasms. A woman can'
do that sqrt of thing. Well, maybe
she can't, but civil engineers do a
lot of other things beside barge
around in the best Hollywood manner.
Incidentally she is the fourth member of her sex to enter the school according to records in the Dean's office.
Well, what can a woman civil engineer do?
Won't Build Bridges
We'll let Margaret Fulton, e'uncl tell you.
"Span the Himalaya with a high- No, be. I'd like to," she said But she doesn't intend to do that sort of things.
What kind of work was that?
"I hope to get a job in the design department of a construction company."
Had she actually done work like that?
What 'kind of work' was that?
"In the design you draw plans for bridges, bridges, and things and then other engineers go out and build them."
"For the past two summers I have worked in the Page county engineer's office in Iowa as a draftman. He took out a little with highway planning."
Heard K. U, a Good School
How did she ever get the idea to become an engineer?
"I don't quite know. While I was in high school I wanted to become an author—write books and things. But even then I loved mathematics and I saw them as veyors working around near my father's farm. Really I don't know."
"I didn't make up my mind until I entered Park College in 1953. I took a lot of work in mathematics drafting and some surveying I worked on for a few months before finish in it. I'd heard K.U, had a good school so here I am."
Miss Fulton, who is diminutive,
and with blonde hair done in a
boyish bob, is not worried about the
future.
A iob?
You can get a job," she said, "If you're any good at all."
Only 10 Women Engineers
She was reminded that there were only ten women working as engineers in this country, according to
American Woman, feminine Who's Who.
"I'm still pretty sure. I'll try civil service first of course."
Was engineering her only interest?
Oh. no.
"I like sports—hockey, swimming,
tennis, skating, and dancing. I like
music and books too. Classical
music, sometimes a little swing.
Books about travel and adventure,
theater, music. I used to read
a lot of fiction."
What about truckin'?
"Once in a while. You have to get in the mood for that."
"But I haven't much time for sport or that sort of thing now. I work as a drafterman for the geological department, and I work there. It doesn't leave me much time."

employer, the gypsey, 28s. Muskat. Of this scene Alexander Wooll-cott has said, "It is like looking into the sea of a dirt bum."
Sharply and wittily Molain weaves his spell with threads of irony and philosophy and colors it with true human emotion so that when the cloth dissolves into the aphause of final reality, the audience is left wondering.
What was the final verdict on Lilian's life? Did the few words of his daughters last remarks redeem his soul? The optimist will probably say yes, and the pessimist—well, so what?
Perhaps Lillian with his blind faith in a heavenly court and the "last chance" saw much more of the real world, which demanded so much of him.
