[Cessation of the IEEE Student Journal in November 1970]

With regret we pause to note the cessation of the IEEE STUDENT JOURNAL in November 1970. This publication had been the central feature of the Institute´s student activities since the mid 1950´s. At the time of its demise, coverage of the 1970 Clean Air Car Race was in preparation. Since that race is of such technical importance to the Vehicular Technology Group, we welcome the opportunity to pay tribute to the students whose race it is,a nd to the STUDENT JOURNAL. The two articles that were ready for press are published unchanged immediately following in this issue. The first article is by Charles Beardsley, Managing Editor of the STUDENT JOURNAL, and summarizes the experiences of the winning hybrid car. The second article is on an interesting subsystem designed by one team. With this article we also recognize the efforts of its author, Wally Rippel, who was instrumental in establishing the Great Electric Car Race of 1968.
