"I ENGINEERED MICROWAVE TOWER LOCATIONS
ON MY FIRST ASSIGNMENT"
When Bill Pigott knocked on the door of
Pacific Telephone, he had two big assets. One
'was an electrical engineering degree from Seattle
University. The other was a craving to jump
right into vital engineering problems.
It was not long before Bill was exploring
Washington's rugged Cascade Range in a heli
copter to find sites for microwave relay towers
—part of a multimillion dollar telephone con
struction job. Today, it's considerable satisfac
tion to-him to see these towers spanning the
mountains, knowing that his planning helped
put them there.
Phi
Sigma Kappa
Adopts Italian Boy
- The 34 members of Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity will "play
papa" this year to an 11-year-old Italian boy named Angelo
Ricci.
- Phi Sigma Kappa has
through the Foster Parents'
plan, the fraternity has promised
. to contribute $l5 a month toward
the child's support for one year.
This is the fraternity's fourth
year ,of participation in The Fos
ter Parents' Plan. Last year Phi
Sigma Kappa aided in the sup
port of a 10-year-old Greek boy.
The plan . is an independent,
government approved relief or
ganization designed to help
orphaned or otherwise destitute
Children. The adoption program
is financial, not legal.
The foster parent promises to
contribute $l5 monthly for at
least one year. Of this sum the
child receives $8 each month as
an outright cash grant. The re
mainder is used for periodic food
and new clothing packages, trans
lations of letters, medical services
and education.
Phi Sigma Kappa receives
mail from Angelo about once a
month during the year. Corre-

'Our number one aim is to have in all
management jobs the most vital, intelli
gent, positive and imaginative men we
can possibly find."

financially "adopted" Angelo
'lan of New York. Under the
spondence between the parent
and the child is handled by the
plan office and is translated
both ways.
Angelo comes from a poor Ital
ian family. His father, a farm
laborer, died several years ago
leaving a widow• and three sons.
His long illness with -TB com
pletely exhausted the small sav
ings the family had been able to
set aside. In addition the family
has the added burden of Angelo's
uncle who is a deaf mute.
The family lives in a small
agricultural village which has a
scarcity of employment but a sur
plus of farm hands. ,Angelo's
mother and uncle work in neigh
bor's fields but their combined
income averages only $lO a month.
The University owns 8979 acres
of land, 236 of which includes the
main campus.
Other important assignments followed: engi
neering maritime radio systems, SAGE systems
—figuring engineering costs for Air Force Titan
missile bases.
"Our people respect a `man's engineering
training—you really get a chance to show what
you've got on the ball," Bill says. "I was up to.
my neck in tough engineering problems right
from the start."
If you want a job where you put your training
to work from the day you hang up your hat—you'll
want to visit your Placement Office for literature
and additional information.
