PITTSBURGH - The Ukrainian Technological Society held its 32nd annual general assembly and elections meeting on Sunday, February 25, at The University Club in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh.

Standing Committee reports were received on the UTS Scholarship Program, the annual dinner-dance, the Ukrainian of the Year Award and the UTS Newsletter.
