The perspectives of a university range from the majestic to the minute; at Michigan State they offer a sweeping panorama. Our complex and varying moods reflect those of our surroundings. The changing face of the campus in all its aspects demands appreciation by students, faculty and visitors. 10 An occasional pause for quiet reflections is both solicited and answered by our environment. Rare moments of solitude emphasize the importance and the role of the individual in shaping the university community. 13 Shifting patterns of couples are the result of constant search and re-evaluation of personal values and goals. The necessary synthesis of individuals into groups is accompanied the strengthening of personal values. Each group becomes not a blend but an association. The year 1961 marked a turn in the tide of our society. What had been familiar faded into memory as new faces and new scenes rose to fill the gap. B m \j \lJ 1, àtyff Rare, quiet moments alone dot the social scene and present an aspect of university life that is at once universal and private. 22 Even university scholars find that daily duties require three hands — but mouths often have to clench safety pins on diaper detail. The academic stimulus, artfully applied, molds intelligence into understanding. The character and personality of a community is inescapably the total of those who live and work in it. At Michigan State, the community character is determined by the actions and interactions of students and faculty members that combine in the daily drama which builds the image of a progressive university. , . . 23 Kids and kites are only a part of the complex society of married housing which provides homes for thousands of married students and their families. STUDENT LIFE Far beyond the hub-bub of daily university life each Spartan finds a haven to call his own. No matter what his age, sex or marital status, home to each student becomes simply that comer of the campus where he can be alone with himself, his friends or his new and growing family. Whether desire or necessity places him in university-supported living quarters or informal off-campus housing, comfort and at­ mosphere are desired and attained through personal decorating schemes which demand more ingenuity than money. For many, residence halls and Greek houses provide congenial community living and lessons in patience and tolerance. For others, the freedom found in home or apartment living is suffi­ cient reward for the often familiar sacrifices of inconvenience and monetary difficulties. Yet to all, the Spartan life is a good life. Friendly fellowship in residence halls is fostered by close quarters and congenial room- and precinct-mates. The temptation of a fistful of snow and the passing of a pretty girl are usually too much for a healthy rambunctious Spartan male to resist. STUDENT RECREATION At Michigan State, fun time is almost any time at all. Scraps of time snatched from study and class schedules linger on and stretch out over coffee, cigarettes and conversation. Whether singly, doubly or in groups, students indulge in sim­ ple pleasures: serious study of contemporary cards; the trium­ phant setting of a slam hand; loosening a tie at a Saturday night party; rambling through a misty night past Beaumont; debating knee-length skirts and the Peace Corps, Ft. Lauderdale and the Rose Bowl, James Joyce and student government. Yet even recreation is coupled with the same intense concen­ tration devoted to serious endeavors — a concentration fostered by the realization that time is all too short and that even daily pleasures must be enjoyed hard to be enjoyed at all. 26 A sunny spring afternoon and a collection of wrenches are neces­ sary ingredients to meet the mechanical challenge facing sports car enthusiasts. Spring and summer terms are times for high-jinks and "suntans around the outdoor pool. STUDENT WORK State life is mainly student life —the daily struggle with texts, lectures and term papers. For four years the daily dash toward a de­ gree spurs more than 20,000 students through crowds, traffic, lines and assigned readings. Counseling Clinics and orientation for new stu­ dents each fall begin the education adventure which becomes increasingly complex as each term ends and a new one begins. Registration in September, January, March and June formalizes student roles and sorts the scholarly and unscholarly alike into coded slots of curricula, class hours, credits and campus addresses. With the staggering chore of classification com­ pleted, Michigan State tightens its belt and launches into still another skirmish with scholarship. Study becomes supreme. Competition for the ten full-expense Alumni Distinguished Scholar­ ships drew hundreds of outstanding high school seniors who were entertained at a candlelight dinner on the evening preceding rigorous tests. Three-day Summer Counseling Clinics for newly-admitted fresh­ men gave them an opportunity to visit the campus and become acquainted with university life and familiar landmarks. The maze of fall term registration marked the end of vacation time and heralded the beginning of another year-long segment of study and class work. STUDENT - FACULTY WORK The essence of any com­ munity is cooperation; no one part of its membership can exist alone. This is the predominant philosophy underlying the flow of life in a university community such as ours. Even though students and faculty lead separate lives and have their particular responsibilities, the spirit of the uni­ versity community binds them together in an atmosphere of free association on many levels and at many points of con­ tact. The common goal is knowledge. Mutual respect on the part of students and faculty is the foundation upon which successful relationships are built in many areas of university life. In the classroom, in conference and in extra-curricular and social activities, friendly co­ operation is the keynote. Coffee and cramming somehow go together — and a corner table at Kewpee’s is often an incongruous hide­ away for ten o’clock scholars. Words about words about words and diligent delvings into thick volumes are usually the beginning of understanding. Piles of bluebooks greet faculty members at mid-term and final exam time. Dr. Edward Natharius, assist­ ant professor of humanities, shuffles through a whole day’s work of grading. Instructors such as Rachel Smith of social work welcome oppor­ tunities for individual conferences with interested students. Professor Herman E. Koening and graduate assistant Hinrich Martens conduct research of hydraulic systems as a cooperative effort in electrical engineering. The returning of carefully-graded papers repre sents hours of reading and evaluation. FACULTY WORK To many students, the image of a faculty member begins and ends at the classroom door. But beyond the confines of 50-minute class segments lies the complex and vital world of the professional scholar. The men and women of Michigan State’s faculty are bound together by a common dedication to con­ tinual scholarship, professional excellence, and serv­ ice to youth and education. These goals are reached only through constant devotion to daily duties which makes possible the polished lectures and assured authority. Aside from the careful preparation of course work and lectures, paper-grading, conferences, staff and department meetings and advisory duties, each fac­ ulty member devotes hours weekly to the further development of himself and his field through re­ search and study of current trends. Many attend classes themselves to swell the ranks of Ph.D. hold­ ers—which now total 64 per cent of the faculty. This is the busy and rewarding life of the profes­ sional scholar. Night classes plague teachers as well as students—yet add hours to class and credit-hour capacities. Department duties often include stints at registration each term The Academic Senate meets once each term in the Music Audi­ torium to consider matters of policy for the university. FACULTY ORGANIZATION Michigan State’s faculty is governed by and governs through a unique system of councils designed to insure effi­ jfl cient administration of academic problems. The Academic Senate, composed of professors, associate professors and assistant professors with tenure, and including the academic deans, meets once each term to consider legislative and policy matters. The Senate represents the entire voting faculty and initiates legislative measures which affect the university as a whole. The Academic Council acts as a screening agent for the Senate. Comf posed of the deans, the steering committee of the Senate and two repre­ sentatives elected from each college, the Council investigates academic problems through a system of standing committees and makes recom­ mendations to the Senate for full consideration and debate. 34 Dr. Carl F. Huffman, professor of dairy husbandry— leading authority on dairy cattle nutrition p he devised the use of a plastic “window” to observe the digestive processes of cattle; a member of the faculty since 1922. OUTSTANDING FACULTY Among the hundreds of fine faculty members, Michigan State claims many outstanding persons. Some have become known internationally for their research; others have been friends to genera­ tions of students. This year, several of them, such as those pictured here, are retiring after long years of service to Michigan State and her students. Their contributions to the uni­ versity community will long be remembered. Roy L. Underwood, professor of music and director of the division of fine arts—accomplished pianist and teacher of music; joined the faculty in 1940. Dr. Karl A. Stiles, professor and head of zoology—an international authority in genetics; author of 57 books and articles; faculty member since 1945. Miss Mary Lewis, associate professor of foods and nutri­ tion—pioneer in off-campus teaching of foods and nu­ trition; recipient of the Distinguished Faculty Award; member of the faculty since 1931. 35 Assistant professor Milton Goldberg joins associate professors Dr. Arthur Warner and Dr. Paul Smith in escaping from the Col­ lege of Business and Public Service for a fast round of golf on a Saturday afternoon on the university course. FACULTY RECREATION Even professors are people. Most often, bulging briefcases brought home from the office are stashed away in front closets as faculty members turn to their families and life’s problems of leisure—green lawns that sprout crab- grass, putts that won’t sink and partners who trump aces. After-five life in East Lansing brims with informal and simple pleasures—Friday night spaghetti sup­ pers, high school ball games, t.v. westerns, building kites and spraying rosebushes. Hobbies and leisurely recreation for Michigan State’s faculty members provide refuge from the pres­ sures and demands of being professional scholars. This is our university community.

All-university spring elections began the year with heated cam­ paigns for class and student government officers. The evolution of Michigan State to national prominence has been accompanied by the slow growth of traditions. Each year the academic atmosphere is brightened by the sporadic occurrence of events which are designed for the enjoyment and participation of the entire . university community. . . Kennedy backers went all-out to greet the Senator here in October. The Burroughs Company attracted scores of visitors into their Career Carnival booth with their perpetually running machine. CARNIVALS AND EXPOSITIONS When its carnival time at MSU it’s also imagination time, organization time, work time, a crowded time, and always—fun time. At “Activities Expresso” 70 campus organizations went beatnik at Activities Carnival. This is the time when upperclassmen show freshmen the wide range of activities open to them. “Success in the Sixties” set the theme for this year’s Career Carnival. This is a time when students learn from industry rep­ resentatives how to best prepare for their future. Every spring crowds flock to the International Festival to en­ joy its talent show and displays, and to the Engineering Exposi­ tion to view micro-midget races and scientific models and exhibits. Ski Club enthusiasts constructed an elaborate display at Activ­ ities Carnival to attract new students into their active organization. Foreign students went all out at the International Festival spring term to bring a little bit of the homeland to the campus. Here Indian students explain their culture. fascinating AlChE conducted experiments at their Engineer­ ing Exposition booth for the delight of many visitors. Ambitious co-eds employed busy fingers to fashion corsages for the dates for the February Spinsters’ Spin, the annual turn-about dance. Surprised and delighted Arlyn Greifendorf received the coveted Miss MSU crown and an armload of roses from the 1960 winner,! Patti Pickens, as Blue Key president Bryce Plapp made the happy announcement at winter term J-Hop. DANCES Happy dancing feet slid over campus floors this year as the popularity of all-university and private group dances soared to an all-time high. Highlighting fall term activities were the Harvest Ball, sponsored by Agriculture Council to honor their queens, and the annual Coronation Ball, sponsored by the Army and Air Force ROTC. The Junior Class sponsored a record sell-out J-Hop, “Tara” in January and highlighted the festivities with the crowning of a new Miss MSU, Arlyn Greifendorf. f Three weeks following, Mortar Board, Tower Guard and Spartan Women’s League joined forces for thei annual Spinsters’ Spin, appropriately titled this year ! the “Student Prince.” Army and Air Force ROTC cadets participated in caping cere­ monies at the Coronation Ball, held to honor corps sponsors for both groups. homecoming More than 20,000 loyal alumni flooded East Lansing for the annual Homecoming festivities in October. Living units constructed elaborate displays to wel­ come their alums—and Gilchrist, West Shaw, Theta Chi and Chi Omega captured first place trophies for their efforts. Miss Mary Berles reigned over the festivities which included a torch-light rally, “Bacchanalia,” sponsored by the men of Phi Kappa Psi, the tough football game with Ohio State, and the Homecoming Dance at Kellogg Center. To highlight the weekend, four outstanding civic leaders, Gladys Olds Anderson, Warren M. Huff, John W. Rice and Howard J. Stoddard were desig­ nated Honorary Alumni. High-flying Spartan alumni rejoiced in a moment of glory in the ill-fated Homecoming contest with Ohio State. The men of Theta captured the first-place trophy among frater­ nities for their elaborate display. 45 LECTURE-CONCERT SERIES The Lecture-Con­ cert series, under the supervision of Dr. Wilson B. Paul, gathers a fine and varied array of talent each year. Presented to Michigan State students free of charge, its purpose is to widen their cultural experi­ ences in the most enjoyable manner. Approximately seven foreign films are presented in Fairchild theatre each term. The World Travel series brings a famous lecturer to the stage of the Auditorium on Saturday evenings. The MSU players contribute much time and effort to make the term plays successful and rewarding. All of these features combine to make up one of the finest college cultural programs for both the stu­ dents and the community. Montovani obliged autograph-hunters following his fine fall term orchestral performance. The Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra marked its first appearance at Michigan State on November 2 with a stirring performance. Members of the Royal Ballet from London, England limbered up backstage before whirling through a polished repertoire. Members of the Pittsburgh Sym­ phony Orchestra tuned their in­ struments before going on stage for their February 8 appearance. Audiences were thrilled by the striking performance of Archibald MacLeish’s a modern interpretation of the book of Job, as it was presented by the touring company. Piano artistry by Errol Garner drew packed houses for his winter term appearance. Each year the Lecture-Concert Series presents more than 50 programs, featuring some of the world’s foremost figures of the concert hall, stage, and lecture platform. Included in this varying program are lectures, ballet, concerts, drama, foreign films, and world travel films. The programs are presented to give MSU students opportunities for enrichment and enjoyment through personal experience with a variety of artistic achievements; to help students better understand the cultural, economic, and social backgrounds of the peoples of the world; to give the faculty and staff opportunities to experience the intellectual challenge and aesthetic enjoyment that comes from a variety of cultural and educa­ tional programs; and to cooperate with other organizations in providing such cultural and educational programs for the community.

Wmmmm [ ■ HMH Hi■ pi ■SR Pianist John Browning presented a polished and varied repertoire for his winter term performance. The Basin Street Jazz Show featured local jazz groups which played to a full house in the Union ballroom. Sophomore Ruth Ann Helmrich donned a stripped suit for the Fifth Avenue Style Show during Union Board Week. UNION BOARD WEEK Which way would you go? A stroll down Fifth Avenue? An exciting trip up Broadway? Or maybe Basin Street? Perhaps you’d prefer a quiet walk down Main Street? The members of Union Board offered all of these alter­ natives to travel-hungry students during the presentation of the annual Union Board Week. For this traditional winter term event the service-minded campus organization presented a Broadway variety show, a Basin Street Jazz concert, a Fifth Avenue style show, and a 12th Street dance, all following the theme, “Which Way?” At the Main Street preview drinks in the grill were served at reduced prices. «■pii A string of talented U-Bettes strutted their stuff at the U.B. Week Variety Show in the Union Ballroom. Dancing feet filled the Union parlors for the Union Board Week Twelfth Street all-university dance. Religious expression finds roots in regular family worship. Speaker-Hines and Thomas pressman Vaughan Kenyon checks a Wolverine form as the press begins to roll on the finished pub' lication in the Lansing plant. Spirited high-jinks at the 1960 Publications Banquet involved President Hannah in some “dragnet” pranks. Public and private forums for the expression of personal views are supported and jealously protected by Michigan State Students. The reflection of contemporary student thought is encouraged and fostered by the freedom from censorship in student publications and student governing groups. . . . University Theater delighted audiences during winter term with its farcical “Man and Superman.” Kiddingly dubbed the “Petticoat Press,” these four women held control of the two major publications. The responsible ladies are State News city editor Marcia VanNess, State News editor-in-chief Sue Price, Wolverine editor Jane Denison and State News man­ aging editor Sharon Coady. Spartan Engineer editor Reg Pilarski confers with staffers Roberta Hoffmaster, Paul Rutler and John Thorton on layout and photos for the winter issue. PUBLICATIONS Located on the third floor of the Student Services Building is an anything-but-obscure corridor known as Pub Row. Day and night this small corner produces such frantic cries as: “Where are the sissors?”, “Editorial on line one”, and “Sell! Sell! Sell!” Pub Row is the home of MSU’s student publica­ tions. There, amid a mixed air of cooperation and friendly rivalry members of the “State News”,] “Wolverine”, “Spartan Engineer”, and “MSU Veter-| inarian”, shout in panic, sigh in despair, and meet] deadlines. The Board of Publications, which supervises all student publications, also selects major editors and business managers. These appointees in turn choose their staff and determine editorial policy. Jennings Bird, editor of the 1960 Wolverine, presided as emcee at the Publications Banquet which climaxed the year for Pub Row personnel. Wolverine editor Jane Denison, photo editor Norm Hines and associate editor Anson Lovellette collaborated on all 861 pictures for the 1961 yearbook. State News editorial editor Jody Howard (center) made the edit page a highlight of the 1960-1961 S’News. Staffer Ross Biederman confers with State News Editor-in-Chief Sue Price about the fine points of his story for the next day’s paper. The S News office on Pub Row is a hub-bub of activity each after noon as editorial and advertising personnel pitch in to piece to gether news and ads to fill the columns for press. Tarot editorial staff members Ron English and Jim Reed (back­ ground) led discussions of submitted material at staff meetings. Veteran photographers Tom Armstrong and Norm Hines turned in a high per­ centage of shots for the 1961 Wolverine. One long-standing member of Pub Row was missing this year as the Spartan’, former campus humor turned literary magazine, left its office for good due to circulation difficulties. It was replaced by the Tarot, a purely literary effort. At the annual spring Publications Banquet service awards were given for outstanding work in the year just over. The high point of the evening, as always, was the skit competition among the publications for the coveted oil-can trophy, won again in ’60 by the Veterinarian. In case of emergency Pub Row denizens can usually be found singing songs in the Wolverine office, drinking coffee in the State News office, or recovering in Olin. MSU Veterinarian staffers Charles Anderson, Stan Newman and Donald Sawyer spent hours editing—and polishing their prized Oil Can trophy. AUGS made an all-out, last minute effort to influence state legis­ lators to increase MSU appropriations by sending letters to the parents of all Michigan students urging them to contact their state Senators. More than fifty students worked ’round the clock to send out almost 18,000 letters. Student insurance director Gil Cox headed the health insurance program made available at reduced rates to Michigan State students. AUSG President Dan Riedel guided the complex activities of the organization throughout the year. ALL - UNIVERSITY STUDENT GOVERNMENT The All - University Student Government, patterned after the federal government, is divided into execu­ tive, legislative, and judicial branches. The executive branch of AUSG is headed by the president, who is elected by the student body each spring term. He is directly responsible for the en­ forcement of all laws passed by the Student Con­ gress. Assisting him in this function are executive branch departments. The legislative branch is contained within the Stu­ dent Congress. Representatives are elected from each dormitory, collectively from the fraternities and sororities, married housing and off-campus stu­ dents. They are chosen each spring or whenever a vacancy occurs. The constitutional legality of all AUSG activities, both present and future, is determined by the All- University Judiciary. This same body also judges many cases involving student discipline. Individual mailboxes in the Speaker’s office are used for the dis­ tribution of resolutions and other communications to Congress members. Here Jim Anderson and Chuck Bruce check the contents. Veteran AUSG officer Bill Alldredge checks over reports with a willing secretary. Operating on a fee of 25^ from each student per term, and under the general direction of President Dan Riedel, AUSG again proved its financial re- ] sponsibility with the many services performed for the students it represents. Student sleeves were again rolled up, some ad­ mittedly reluctantly, to receive the polio shots that AUSG provided at a nominal cost. Campus clubs and organizations happily thanked the governing body for all the free mimeographing and for the indispensable student organizations directory. Many students benefited from the continuation of the AUSG student loan and insurance programs. S' As spring term comes, so also come elections to campus offices. At this time the elections committee, which is responsible for directing the entire elections procedure—petitions, ballots, tabulation—is kept especially busy as the campaign for class and AUSG offices get under way. The purpose of this commit­ tee is tn assure fair elections. Volunteer workers Ellen Bradley and Marguerite Todt assisted many students who came to AUSG for small, short-term loans. Finance committee chairman Jim Gibson confers with Speaker pro-tem Jim Anderson as Speaker Chuck Herbert and Congress­ man Trevis Markle delve into other problems in the background of the busy main AUSG office. AUSG sponsored mobile units to enable more students to vote in the April 18 elections. Free mimeographing for student groups is one of the services made available by student tax money. Here Pat Oberlink copes with the always-busy machine. Wednesday night Congress meetings were often the scenes of heated debates during the 1960-61 session as Congressmen mulled over policy and procedure questions. The United Nations Lounge on the Union’s lower level is main­ tained for the comfort and convenience of MSU’s foreign students. The Union Concourse is the popular scene of many activities. Union Board maintains a desk in the main lobby to assist students with questions about UB events and services. UNION BOARD Need a ride home? Check with the Union Board ride bureau. Worried about get­ ting some typing done? Go to the Union Board typ­ ing bureau. Looking for talent for a special event? See the Union Board talent bureau. These and many other services are offered by the 125 member body of Union Board whose responsibility it is to coordi­ nate all cultural, recreational, and social events held in the Union Building. Besides offering bridge, chess, and bowling to all students, Union Board also offers an excellent fine arts program including speakers, exhibits, and movies. The newly created forum committee was busy all year on vital issues from the viewpoint of their particular field. All of these many and varied activities and services! are carried out by students who gain membership by petitioning and rushing each winter term. 62 MSU UNITED NATIONS Michigan State’s forum for discussion of in­ ternational problems is provided through the MSU United Nations, founded in the fall of 1958 to offer an outlet for foreign students and American students alike to air opinions on foreign policy. Since its small beginnings under the sponsorship of the Junior Council, the campus UN has grown under Secretary-General Mohammad Toussi to more than 200 members and is the first collegiate United Nations to meet on a regular, bi-weekly basis. Fifty-two nations are represented by delegations at the regular sessions of the General Assembly. The delegates stage full-fledged debates on cur­ rent international problems and crises and send copies of all resolutions passed by the Assembly to each delegation at United Nations Headquarters in New York. Highlighting the activities of the year was the national United Nations Conference, held on the campus in February. Students from 35 schools from New York to Colorado converged on the campus, molded themselves into 70 national delegations, and debated 22 crucial issues. Five resolutions were passed, including a condemnation of South Africa’s apartheid policy and a refusal to seat Red China. Flags of all UN countries rimmed the Kiva in the Education Build­ ing for the February 17 meeting of the General Assembly during the three-day National UN Conference. The art of theatrical make-up is carefully practiced by two cast members of spring term’s “Hansel and Gretel.” THEATER Broadway a la MSU—no names in lights, only posters; no big stars attending, only stu­ dents; no lavish costumes or sets, just a limited budget; but an abundance of good acting, good music, and good entertainment. Highlighting the MSU theatre season were the four term plays, the Pulitzer Prize comedy “Harvey”, G. B. Shaw’s witty “Man and Superman”, Shake­ speare’s tragedy “Macbeth”, and William Saroyan’s fantasy “The Cave Dwellers”. Shades of Arabian Nights appeared in the musical Kismet”, jointly sponsored by the departments of speech and music. Film classics such as “The Three Musketeers”, The Private Life of Henry VIII”, and “The Good Earth”, and three studio productions rounded out the MSU version of life on Broadway. Senior Charles Cioffi portrayed a convincing MacBeth in Shake­ speare’s tragedy which highlighted the winter season. University Theater members sold books of season tickets during fall term to insure full houses for each performance. Easter Sunday drew thousands of Michigan State students to services at the University Lutheran and dozens of other churches in the Lansing area. RELIGION Michigan State University feels strongly that re­ ligious activities and services are a necessary part of student life. The University considers that one of its responsibilities is to maintain an atmosphere of religious freedom for the individual and, with this environment, to provide adequate opportunity for the development of spiritual maturity and the exercise of spiritual interests. Nearly all major denominations are represented on campus, many having their own houses or centers for college students. These student centers devote their facilities to the meeting of stu­ dent needs, including staffs of ministers, priests, rabbis, and di­ rectors of student activities. The newly-completed Wesley Foundation building on Harrison road is typical of the student centers which many denominations have established to provide worship and recreation facilities. Choir directors can count on many student voices each Sunday to offer sacred music to services. Packed pews for Sabbath serv­ ices are familiar scenes in Lan- sing-area churches and syna­ gogues. t listín. Michigan State’s first family—President and Mrs. John A. Hannah. Holding fast to the fundamental principle that it should be the purpose of every university to seek the truth, to teach the truth, and to preserve the truth, the administration of Michigan State University is constantly striving to see that their university produces educated individuals who will be trained and conditioned to be effective citizens. The ever-present goal of our administration is that the graduates of MSU be ready and willing to assume the duties of leadership and responsi­ bility in a nation crying for, and ever needful of, intelligent direction and guidance in a world full of confusion, insecurity and doubt. 70 The burden of guiding and governing the diverse activities of a wide-spread university falls upon the shoulders of the administrative team. The efforts of the elected Board of Trustees and our own highly-trained administrators keep the ship of State on an even keel in East Lansing and her outposts from Colombia to Pakistan. . .

Vice-presidents Philip May (finance), Milton Muelder (research and development) and Gordon Sabine (special projects) head up extensive programs. Provost Paul Miller is in charge of all academic prob­ lems. James Denison, assistant to the President, is the director of university relations. Tom King, Dean of students, is scheduled to retire this year after 27 years of service to the university. Jacweir Breslin, assistant to the President, became Michigan State’s third secretary in less than a year in February. James Miller, appointed by the Board to replace Karl McDonel who retired in July, 1960, left in January to become the President of Western Michigan university. Miss Marie Mercier became acting secretary in the one-month interim. Jacweir Breslin, Assistant to the President and Secretary. Dr. Tom King, retiring Dean of Students. Dr. Milton E. Muelder, Vice-President for Research Development and Dean of School for Advanced Graduate Studies. 73 Divisional rooms in the modem new library are packed daily by students in diligent concentra­ tion over assigned readings and class assignments. From her founding in 1855 as the first agricultural college in the world, Michigan State's academic area has grown to encompass 175 undergraduate, graduate and professional curricula. The 72 academic departments in the eight colleges offer collectively 3,838 . courses to 20,000 students. . . COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE Students of animal husbandry are thoroughly trained in the tech­ niques of judging all types livestock in competition and daily use. The lobby of the Agricultural Engi­ neering building on Shaw Lane fea­ tures elaborate displays about the field of agricultural engineering. Dr. Thomas K. Cowden, Dean of Agriculture. There is always something special about being the “first”, and Michigan State can well afford to be proud of its College of Agriculture which was the first of its kind to be established anywhere in the world Founded more than 100 years ago, this in­ novation eventually led to the wide spread develop­ ment of the many land-grant universities found throughout the United States today. Thomas K. Cowden, dean of this, the oldest col­ lege in the university, is the head of our huge agri­ cultural program whose purpose is to scientifically train its students in teaching, research, or extension work — the three major areas of the College of Agriculture. Agriculture may be the oldest industry in the nation, but the students of this college, regardless of their major area, are much more interested in what is happening today, and what is apt to happen to­ morrow. The present curricula program enables ag students to study in any one of three basic areas: agricultural business, agricultural science, or general agriculture, all leading to the bachelor of science degree. In ad­ dition to these four-year programs, the College also offers a two-year terminal course and a short course program in agriculture which permits students taking only two years of university work in a number of electives. A fundamental understanding of the basic phys­ ical, biological, and social sciences as they apply to agriculture and conservation, a broad educational background, and technical knowledge for specializa­ tion is what the College of Agriculture offers to its students. The maintenance and care of farm machinery—such as this ex­ perimental asparagus harvester—are important factors in efficient production. Intensive microscopic study of embryonic development is a crucial aspect of poultry science. To help in this goal of planning for an ever better tomorrow in the field of agriculture, the students are constantly kept informed of the latest developments and newest scientific knowledge in agriculture and conservation. Because the College is convinced that the best scientific training is the path to this goal, ag majors are provided with a very real and practicable lab in the form of the various university farms. These farms include not only livestock, but experimental and demonstrational fields as well. 78 tent Agriculture short course students Mike Rogers and Jim Creger concentrate on the care of ornamental plants as part of their studies. Clarence Lewis, associate professor of horticulture, conducts class on a tour of the campus’s wide selection of shrubs. The intracacies of economic curves are given significance and importance to students of business and economics through intensive study in the Col­ lege of Business and Public Service. Visual aids are often employed in the study of social work to acquaint students with many aspects of community life. COLLEGE OF BUSINESS AND PUBLIC SERVICE 80 Techniques of drafting are necessary prerequisites to the success­ ful application of principles learned in landscape architecture and urban planning. One of the most all-encompassing colleges of the University is that of Business and Public Service. For whether the student is banging a type­ writer, clattering dishes, cleaning a pistol, or struggling with a profit and loss statement, he can call this college his own. The College of Business and Public Service, directed by Dean Alfred Seelye, has the largest enrollment of any at Michigan State and is composed of two divisions; business administration and public service. Those students in the business administration program may study and explore their interests in such varied, yet related, fields as accounting and financial administration, marketing and transportation administration, per­ sonnel and production administration, insurance law and real estate, busi­ ness education and office administration, economics, and hotel, restaurant and institutional management. Students enrolled in the public service division may concentrate in the areas of police administration and public safety, political science, urban planning and landscape architecture, or social work. Construction began this year on the elaborate Eppley Center for graduate studies in business east of Shaw hall on Shaw Lane. Freshmen entering the College of Business and Public Service are often overwhelmed and confused by the large array of possible majors open to them, but each soon finds his place in the major area of his developing interests. In each division students may center their interest in technical programs, and in many departments field training is of great importance. For example, hotel majors get on-the-job training at Kellogg Cen­ ter, and supervised field work is an integral part of the social work and police administration curricula. This College also offers two-year terminal pro­ grams in banking, general business, insurance and real estate, retailing, and secretarial studies. In short, the purpose of the College of Business and Public Service is to ready its students and equip them with the necessary knowledge for a career in the complex and changing business world of today. Students in business services become adept in the techniques of business machines. The department of landscape architecture and urban planning utilizes the construction of scale models in class work to prepare students for actual problems in the field. COLLEGE OF COMMUNICATION ARTS Dress rehearsal of “Man and Superman” was surveyed by the critical eyes of theater students skilled in production and acting. It takes many different kinds of students to make a university and the College of Communication Arts truly has its share of these differing kinds. Within this College, the newest and smallest at MSU, are found the school of journalism, department of adver­ tising, department of television, radio and film, de­ partment of speech, and general communication arts curriculum. The College of Comm Arts, as it is known to its members, is headed by Fred S. Siebert. Every de­ partment of the college is designed to give its stu­ dents a broad background in the social sciences, literature and science, as well as in communication methods. The purpose of this program is to provide education for communications as well as education in communications. This College was founded upon, and is guided by the principle that good communication is a basic necessity to any democratic form of government and its citizens. John Crawford, head of the department of advertising, conducts a popular class for advertising seniors in the ad room of the Journalism building. Dr. Fred S. Siebert, Dean of Communication Arts. Allen N. Kepke, doctoral student in speech, spends part of his study time in show direction. The AP wire in the J-building is a magnet which attracts communications majors. Students of the school of journalism can often be found trying to load a camera for press photog­ raphy, interviewing for a reporting class, or worry­ ing about a deadline for one of the campus student publications. “Of course I want it today, if I’d wanted it to­ morrow I’d have asked for it tomorrow.” These words are all too familiar to ad majors, not only in their various advertising classes but from their State News accounts as well. Beginning students in Radio-TV are often awed at the array of expensive equipment available to them in their classes at the WKAR radio and WMSB tele­ vision stations. It isn t long however until swinging a boom and focusing a TV camera are second nature. The department of speech, largest division of the College, includes study in rhetoric and public ad­ dress, theatre, speech pathology and audiology, and speech education. Theater-oriented students learn the arts of costume design and fitting as part of their training in the department of speech. Typewriters clatter incessantly in the two reporting labs in the Journalism building as journalism students pound out their stories. H 86 The fully-equipped studios of WMSB-TV provide laboratory facili­ ties for television students in producing and directing their shows. Students of broadcasting gain valuable experience before the microphone as a part of required class work. The modem five-story structure which houses the complex College of Education was completed in 1957. COLLEGE OF EDUCATION Dr. Clifford E. Erickson, Dean of Education. The field of education is the largest and one of the most important in our modem world. It is the professional educator who trains all of our future citizens whether they shall be scientist, lawyer, machinist, plumber, or president. Under the leadership of Dean Clifford E. Erickson, the College of Education provides professional edu­ cation programs for elementary and secondary teach­ ers, instructors in colleges, and adult educators. It also provides for the professional preparation of per­ sonnel who offer leadership of special services in the educational system, such as counselors, principals, superintendents, supervisors, or visiting teachers. With an enrollment of almost 3,000 this College is doing its part in solving the teacher shortage. Believing that the actual experience of teaching is necessary for a complete education, the MSU Col­ lege of Education provides for laboratory experi­ ences through local school systems. Each prospective is able to profit from a realistic educational experi­ ence which would be impossible to duplicate in a campus school. Each student teacher spends one full term working in a particular school system. He lives in the com­ munity and is to teach with a supervising teacher during this term. His responsibility is viewed broadly and includes involvement in civil and community undertakings and after-school work with boys and girls. In short, by living the life of a teacher, he finds out just what the job of being a teacher is, he knows what to expect after graduation. Student teaching is required in all curricula, including mechanical and industrial arts. This class is being conducted at East Lansing Junior High School. Elementary education majors are trained in many fields, includ­ ing art and design, to round out their skills for teaching use in the lower grades. Well-equipped metal working shops offer men students of indus­ trial arts an opportunity to find practical use for the principles learned in the classroom. The spacious lounge in the Education building provides a setting for informal discussion groups and between-class studying. 90 Beginning this fall student teachers were no longer graded by the 4.0 system but instead were given marks of passing or not passing. In addition to the laboratory experiences offered to all students enrolled in the on-campus program, a new experimental program for elementary school teachers is being conducted in cooperation with Michigan junior colleges and public school systems. This program provides for three years of supervised classroom experience. The undergraduate training extends over a five year period, but a salary is paid to the intern teacher for two of these years. Students in most fields of secondary education are granted degrees from two colleges: the College of Education and the College of the student’s subject- matter major. A least 30 credits in education, includ­ ing student teaching, are required for certification. The College of Education includes departments of Guidance and Counseling Training, Higher Educa­ tion, Secondary Education, Elementary Education, Physical Education, and Administrative Education. Each of these departments provide specialized train­ ing for its students. Students of this College are given additional in­ terest in studying and discussing the field through the education clubs and honoraries. Independent and individual study and projects are recommended and encouraged. The Instructional Materials Center in the Education building offers many materials from children’s books to visual aids on all levels for the use of budding teachers. COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING Dr. John D. Ryder, Dean of Engineering Graduate assistant William Saunders supervises the undergraduate unit operations laboratory from a balcony in the Chemical Engi­ neering building. iMllÌÌ SB ISfe mm IHK WÊÊÊHÊHÈ ■ ■ ■8N The goal of the College of Engineering is to develop the abilities of its students along lines which will allow him to progress with the advancing field of engineering and to lead a useful professional and private life. Since engineering deals with the science and art of employing nature’s forces and materials, energy, and men for the ultimate benefit of mankind, the engineering programs are planned to provide the engineering student with a firm knowledge and understanding of the fundamental engineering sciences, as well as the engineering methods in applying them for the benefit of mankind. In addition, each student is urged to develop his skill in communication and his ability to work with others. Under the leadership of Dean John D. Ryder, the College offers courses in seven related fields: applied mechanics, chemical, civil and sanitary, electrical, mechanical, metallurgical, and agricultural engineering. Seniors Harold Wooten and Charles Perry study the characteristics of a speed control system as part of their studies in electrical engineering. H. C. Kocher, doctoral candidate from Delhi, on his apparatus to determine turbulence cylinder as part of his research for a degree in India, concentrates intensity around a i applied mechanics. Dr. Shosei Serata, assistant professor of civil engineering, and Joginder Anand, doctoral candidate in engineering study the effect of nuclear fallout on the behavior of structural materials. The setting up experiments in engineering often takes as much skill and patience as actual research. The College of Engineering, in cooperation with the College of Science and Arts, now offers a five- year program in engineering for international serv­ ice which leads to two degrees, Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts. This program is designed to serve the need of students preparing for engineering careers in foreign lands. The program for the first two years is the same as the usual engineering program. In the third, fourth, and fifth years, the remaining engineering courses are pursued along with liberal arts courses in foreign languages, foreign studies, and history appropriate to student’s chosen foreign region. Courses in eco­ nomics, geography, political science, religion, and sociology are among the electives available. The College of Home Economics at MSU is one of the largest in the United States. For more than sixty years it has been engaged in the education of young people in this field of study and is recognized as a leader among the colleges and universities through­ out the nation for the excellence of the program it offers to its students. Today this College is rated among the top three of the country in regard to the quality of its research program. Home economics is indeed a broad field of study, focusing not only on the home and family, but upon the individual as well. Under the direction of Dean Thelma E. Porter, the MSU College of Home Eco­ nomics offers opportunity for study in such varied fields as foods, nutrition, child development, family relations, home management, family economics, clothing, textiles, applied art, housing and home fur­ nishings, household equipment, and institution ad­ ministration. ■ ¡¡Sill WM ■ IBS ■ m n ibi fK8Mji ■Hi H IIP m ism*. iiiSSi Students in child development spend several hours weekly at the Spartan Nursery observing pre-school children as part of their course work in understanding young children.

Ik m Wæ* I 5 SlglS mm M Miss Jean Stange conducts a class in applied design for students interested in the relation of design to daily use. The College of Home Economics cooperates with the School of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management by offering course work in institutional textiles for its majors. Here the class is taught by Mrs. Stephania Winkler. The complexities of a fat extraction apparatus are among those which candidates for the Ph.D. degree in nutrition such as Esther Brown must master and interpret as part of their research. For three weeks, sometime during her junior or senior year, every home economics major comes face to face with the actual problems involved in home management. Living in the university home man­ agement residence each girl learns from practical experience the managerial role of the homemaker. This is the time when she must put to use all of the principles of managing a home which she has been studying and reading about. With their goal of constantly improving living for families and individuals, majors are continually called upon to combine their knowledge of the physical, biological, and social sciences with their knowledge of art and tasteful surroundings. To prepare young women for their future roles as homemakers, professional women, and citizens is the express purpose of the College of Home Economics. From the time each student hopefully places her first attempt at roast beef in the oven to the last time she closes her locker in the Home Ec building, each woman has been given the opportunity to observe many aspects of her field. She may have been able to see first-hand the col­ lege nursery school, to study management practices in the university cafeteria or one of the residence halls, to experience field training in retailing and in­ terior design, or to perform experimental laboratory work in foods, nutrition, and textiles. Miss Rita Fuszek, assistant professor of music, is one of the many accomplished musicians qualified to give group and individual instructions to talented students. COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND ARTS The principle upon which the College of Science and Arts is founded is a basic belief that a democratic society can function well only in an en­ lightened one in which the individual citizen has an understanding of its diverse elements and is able to make sound judgments on crucial issues. Students of this college are given the opportunity to cultivate a wide acquaintance with science, literature, philosophy, history, and social in­ stitutions together with a basic knowledge of one field to the end that they might become effective participants in our democratic way of life. Equipped with the largest staff of any college in this University, it is con­ stantly evaluating and improving the standards of its programs. Research in microbiology is guided in all steps by the watchful eyes of thoroughly trained instuctors. Dr. Lloyd C. Ferguson, Dean of Science and Arts. Hi ■ IIWHIW ■ ■ I This Beta-ray spectrometer, located in the Physics-Mathematics Building, is used to study radioactive nuclei and the low energy properties of nuclear transitions. Activities in the department of art center around practical appli­ cation of skills learned as well as theory. Here Janice Cohn puts finishing touches on a puppet in arts and crafts. To facilitate the administration of the many and varied activities of the College, the various depart­ ments and schools have been organized into five divisions, all under the leadership of Dean Lloyd C. Ferguson. From these five divisions, Biological Sciences, Fine Arts, Language and Literature, Mathe­ matical and Physical Sciences, and Social Sciences, students may obtain either a departmental or di­ visional major. Both evening and off-campus programs, either for credit or non-credit, are provided by the College in cooperation with the Evening College and Continu­ ing Education Service. The College of Science and Arts functions in a three-fold manner in the educational program of the University: by serving as a prime source of the many courses which contribute to a liberal education; by offering courses of a scientific and cultural nature basic to the programs of the several professional col­ leges; and by providing programs for the students with a major in the college which combine a liberal education with concentrated study in the several fields of the humanities, the social sciences, and the mathematical and natural sciences. As an example, resources of the Colleges of Engi­ neering and of Science and Arts are utilized in a special program which enables engineers to train for careers in foreign countries. Ceramic students enjoy the benefits of modem versions of the ancient potter’s wheel as they fashion various objects in Kresge Art Center. Dr. Hans Lampl, director of MSU orchestras and the Opera Work­ shop, takes the MSU Symphony through a fast movement in the Music Building rehearsal room. 102 Students of geology count on expert assistance such as that offered by graduate assistant Norman Winegard in determining the loca­ tion and properties of minerals. COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE Dr. Willis W. Armistead, Dean of Veterinary Medicine. Middle age brings special problems to cows. To offset the wear and tear on teeth, an experimental process of capping them with stainless steel was used in the College for the first time in Mich­ igan to prolong life and milk production. The College of Veterinary Medicine, organized under the leadership of Dean Willis W. Armistead, is composed of five departments: Anatomy, Micro­ biology and Public Health, Surgery and Medicine, Physiology and Pharmacology, and Veterinary Path­ ology. Also included is the School of Medical Tech­ nology. The Vet School, with its headquarters in Giltner Hall, offers a comprehensive six year curriculum leading to the degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medi­ cine (DVM). No different than any other medical school, candi­ dates for admission to the professional program in Veterinary Medicine are screened and interviewed extensively with a limit of only 64 new students being accepted each year. The professional veterinary program provides not only an excellent basic medical education, but also training in diagnosis, disease prevention, medical treatment, and surgery. Graduates therefore are qualified for a great variety of careers in this growing profession. There is a current shortage of veteri­ narians in the United States, and the demand is ex­ pected to increase. Michigan State University grad­ uates can qualify for salaried positions or for licens­ ing as private practitioners in any state in the Union. Because of the perisisting shortage of medical tech­ nologists and the increasing importance of their work, the MSU School of Medical Technology is continually seeking ways to expand and better its program. The med tech program, four years of col­ lege and one year of internship, prepares its grad­ uates for a variety of positions. m m ■ ■ ■ ■■ ■iiiI ■ ■s Dr. David T. Clark’s parasitology lab sessions concentrate on the influence of parasites on living organisms. Skill and sensitivity are the necessary requirements for a success­ ful veterinary surgeon. 105 Students and staff members assist in the Small Animal Clinic which is a treatment center for thousands of ani­ mals in central Michigan. As are all other Michigan State Students, future veterinarians spend their first two years on campus enrolled in the University College. These students are, however, also dually enrolled in the College of Veterinary Medicine. The number of students accepted into the pre-veterinary pro­ gram is not limited. But because of the limitation on the number of stu­ dents admitted each year to the professional program in veterinary med­ icine, completion of the pre-veterinary program does not assure admission to the professional program. In addition to its regular academic program, the College has added to its activities by providing a considerable amount of service to the public in the area of animal disease diagnostic services and treatments. Huge numbers of examinations of serologic, microbiologic, and parasitic ma­ terials are made yearly as well as bacteriological examinations of water and milk samples. As part of its services, the College maintains a small animal clinic in Giltner hall for the treatment of dogs, cats and other animals which are injured or infected. Thousands of animals are treated here yearly. Anita Garric sections tissue as part of research in the pathology division on tuberculosis. A central control room in Giltner hall is the nerve center for closed-circuit television which is used in class instruction in vet­ erinary medicine. One lone proctor in a sea of concentration marks University Col­ lege final exams held in the Auditorium and other large lecture halls across the campus. A new title and revamped program greeted under­ class students this year as the Basic College became, more appropriately, the University College. The function of the University College is to pro­ vide all Michigan State students with a core of gen­ eral education—an experience not only desirable, but necessary, for all individuals aspiring to the status of mature human beings. The University College, with its focus on general education irrespective of vocation or specialty, is thus distinguished from any specialized education necessary for a career in a particular occupation. While general education provides a foundation for an intelligent and satisfying human life regardless of vocational goal, it at the same time complements specialized training by placing it in perspective. All freshmen and sophomores are enrolled in the University College, which is directed by Dean Ed­ ward Carlin, and are required to take four separate, yet integrated courses. Communication Skills aims to improve the stu­ dent’s reading, to improve his writing, and to give him a sense of the forces which have created Ameri­ can civilization. Scratching glass with rocks may not be every stu­ dents idea of an exciting afternoon, but it is a part of the interesting biological, physical, and geological ex­ periments of Natural Science. Anthropology, economics, and government con­ stitute the Social Science course, while Plato, Shakes­ peare, Hemingway, Philosophy, and art occupy stu­ dents studying Humanities. 109 Dr. Stanley J. Idzerda, Director of the Honors College. Honors College student George Eickwort prepares to conduct in­ dividual research in biology as part of his training in the College. Research facilities in such highly technical fields as radioactive genetics are made available to students in the Honors College. Honors College students Bill Barker, Anson Lovellette and Bill Doemer pool their efforts to study for an advanced seminar. The Honors College, directed by Stanley J. Idzerda, was created to encourage the development and achievement of all undergraduate students of su­ perior academic ability. Students who finish their freshman year with a 3.5 grade average, or who at­ tain that average during their sophomore year, are eligible to enter the Honors College program. Once a student becomes a member of the Honors College, all normal requirements for graduation, other than total number of credits, are waived. The program undertaken by the Honors College student may include independent study with faculty guid­ ance, the waiving of prerequisites for advanced or graduate courses, the attainment of credit in some courses by special physical examination, and the priv­ ilege of superior ability. Honors College scholars also enjoy special priv­ ileges in the use of the University library, and have opportunities to attend faculty seminars as well as the various co-curricular programs arranged especially for them. Teoktistos Toridis, graduate student from Turkey, conducts research toward the mas­ ter’s degree in civil engineering. SCHOOL FOR ADVANCED GRADUATE STUDY Physics student David Sommerville assists in an elementary class to fulfill his duties on his teaching assistantship. The new Owen Hall, completed in September, provides homes and recreation facilities for 394 men and women enrolled in the graduate school. In response to its manifold obligations to graduate study, Michigan State University has established eight colleges authorized to give programs leading to advanced degrees. The colleges offering graduate programs are: Agriculture, Business and Public Service, Communications Arts, Education, Engineer­ ing, Home Economics, Science and Arts, and Veteri­ nary Medicine. The School for Advanced Graduate Studies, under the able leadership of Dean Milton E. Muelder, exer­ cises the over-all review and supervision of the grad­ uate education programs conducted in the several colleges, and provides leadership in the evolving of new programs as well as insuring standards for exist­ ing programs consistent with the highest national standards. MSU’s graduate school offers the doctorate and master’s degrees in 65 departments and the masters in an additional 10 departments. Each college of the University has developed its graduate programs consistent with the highest pro­ fessional standards of the respective fields. Academic programs are in the hands of competent faculty en­ joying national and international reputations. Michigan State University is not only responsive to the spirit of the times, but its faculty and adminis­ tration take pride in exercising leadership to make learning, teaching, and research a more meaningful and interesting intellectual endeavor. The variety of intellectual opportunities and the unique challenges of MSU are indeed found in the graduate programs offered by the several colleges. Through meetings and recreation, the presence of the new Owen graduate dorm has enabled graduate student-faculty relations to become more informal and friendly. Many graduate students combine both work and study by becom­ ing graduate assistants. Here William Hight, grad, assistant in radio and television, conducts a class in TV program development at WMSB-TV. MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY OAKLAND The Science and Engineering Building, now under construction on the Rochester campus, will be the center of study in these technical fields. Dr. Durward B. Varner, Chancellor of Michigan State University Oakland. Ever since 1959, when MSU Oakland first began its college career, the students attending this sister university of Michigan State have had the experience of studying under a different and new type of curric­ ulum—a curriculum orientated toward a liberal arts education from a vigorous and modern point of view. All students at MSUO devote at least 50 percent of their studying to the liberal arts. While Oakland offers degrees in business administration, engineer­ ing, teaching education, plus liberal arts, all students, with the exception of science and engineering majors, are required to develop a thorough knowledge and skill in at least one foreign language. Also mandatory for every student is a full-year sequence dealing with foreign studies. Both of these requirements are a part of the attempt to provide a liberalized curric­ ulum for all students regardless of major. Continued success and ever better education are the goals of MSU Oakland. 0 f p M fit i i 1 -- 1 B M ¡¡111 The graceful arcade of Foundation Hall, MSUO’s main building, form an open setting for student activities.

Hare spoke to ROTC and regular Army detachments at Pershing Memorial Day ceremonies at the Capitol in Lansing. Col. Thomas Barrett, Professor of Air Science, and Col. Merton Munson, Professor of Military Science. The ROTC program at Michigan State is com­ prised of the United States Army and Air Force, and consists of courses in the Basic and Senior Divisions of Army and Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps. All male students at MSU, unless they are aliens, veterans, enrolled in a short course, physically unfit, or over 23 years of age, must enroll in either the Army or Air Force program during his first 2 years in college. Upon completion of the basic course, the student may apply for admission to the advanced course which trains students for commis­ sioning as Reserve Second Lieutenants in the U.S. Army or the U.S. Air Force. Membership in the Arnold Air Force Society and Scabbard and Blade are just two of the honors for which advanced cadets strive. These active military honoraries provide an opportunity to socialize with fellow cadets, soon to be fellow officers. Complete health facilities are offered to students through the Olin Memorial Health Center, which treats thousands of sniffles and other ailments yearly. The center of activity at WMSB-TV is the completely equipped control room where student and professional personnel screen educational and cultural shows. The channeling of traffic is the chief headache of the Depart­ ment of Public Safety. The scope of Michigan State's services is as kaleidoscopic as that of her academic environment. Each day, she offers the benefits of research and study not only to the university community but also to thousands of communities throughout the state and the world. Communication of technical and general knowledge to those in need of help is the goal of Continuing Education. . . . 119 The office of admissions culls over thousands of applications yearly from high school seniors and advanced undergraduates to select the best qualified students. Dr. Melvin C. Buschman, regional director of the continuing edu­ cation service, check credentials of students in his area with Dr. William Finni, assistant director of admissions and scholarships. ADMISSIONS AND SCHOLARSHIPS Michigan State’s Admissions policy, directed by the Office of Admissions and Scholarships which is headed by Dr. Gordon A. Sabine, is to a large degree responsible for the ever-growing and higher quality of MSU enrollment. Unlike many public institutions of higher learning, Michigan State is not required to accept every high school graduate in the state who applies. Using the method of selective admissions, the University care­ fully chooses its new freshmen. Although the size of the freshman class varies from year to year, depend­ ing upon the number of qualified students who apply, the standard or level of admissions remains constant. To the most outstanding of those who are admitted each year, scholarships are awarded commensurate with ability and sometimes with need. From the ten all-expense Alumni Distinguished scholarships to small yearly stipends, hundreds of the brightest Mich­ igan State students are given opportunities to study through scholarship grants. COUNSELING CENTER Many new students need help in adjusting to their University environment. Some may be concerned about choosing a vocation or selecting a major. Others may discover that they are having difficulty with course work. Some have personal problems. The Counseling Center was established to give assistance to students with problems such as these. In a permissive atmosphere in which he may express his feelings and thoughts, the student is helped by the counselor to gain new insight into his problems and possible solutions. A complete testing service is maintained, and when it is appropriate, the counselor and student may select tests to appraise abilities, interests, or personality characteristics. Counselor David Payne combs over test scores of a troubled stu­ dent with a colleague before having a conference to try to iron out the student’s problems. The Counseling Center maintains two testing rooms where stu­ dents may take one, two, or complete batteries of tests to de­ termine personal profiles. OLIN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL Michigan State University maintains a well-equipped, centrally lo­ cated health service in the Olin Memorial Health Center. The Center has facilities for students in need of medical, acute surgical and psychiatric care. In so far as possible, the Center serves the role of the family physician while the student is on campus. Consultation during daily office hours is given without charge and hospital care is provided free of charge, up to a total of 40 days per school year, for those students ill enough to require medical super­ vision and care. All medications, medical supplies, and X-ray services are provided at cost plus a reason­ able handling fee. Mrs. Fern Decamp handles many of the x-ray patients and keeps records of thousands of films yearly. The first stop for many patients is the completely- equipped laboratory, where blood and other tests are handled by competent technicians such as Mrs. Margaret Shick. Current job openings on campus are kept up-to-date on the popular bulletin board in the Placement Bureau waiting room. Small individual conference rooms are made available to visiting firms for interivews with prospective em­ ployes. PLACEMENT BUREAU A service for students wishing part- time employment while attending Michigan State University is maintained by the Student Employment Service of the Placement Bureau. This service is designed to cover all areas of student part-time employment both on and off campus. The Placement Bureau also arranges contacts for summer em­ ployment for students. Job opportunities are solicited from pros­ pective employers and then listed in a summer catalog according to the type or classification of job. The Bureau provides perhaps its greatest service in the help it gives seniors in securing jobs before and after graduation. Panic- stricken or only slightly nervous seniors gratefully take advan­ tage of the interviews the Bureau arranges with interested com­ panies, of the up-to-date records of job opportunities, and of the annual Career Carnival and other career conferences sponsored by the Placement Bureau. PUBLIC SAFETY AND BUILDINGS AND UTIL­ ITIES Policing and safety at MSU are the very special functions of the Department of Public Safety. Responsibility for the protection of life and property, the enforcement of local and state laws, and the gen­ eral safety of students rests in the hands of the twenty-four uniformed, full-time police officers of this department. The Department of Buildings and Utilities is in charge of campus buildings, the operation of MSU’s two power plants, the utility system, and the tele­ phone switchboards in on-campus living units. Complete dispatching facilities in the Department of Public Safety insure fast response when an officer or an ambulance is summoned. 124 The Department of Buildings and Utilities handles maintenance of all campus structures, and works on the construction of various walks and buildings.

ALUMNI RELATIONS With an active mailing list of almost 65,000 former students, the Alumni Rela­ tions office is MSU’s way of continuing to serve its students even after graduation. This office interprets the progress and problems of MSU to alumni scat­ tered throughout the nation. This 48 year old office of the administration serves as a very welcome laison between the University and its long gone, and not so long gone, alumni. Another function of this office, often an invaluable one, is that of bringing alumni ideas and suggestions to the attention of the University. The four-member staff also works with more than 100 alumni clubs, helping to coordinate projects rang­ ing from scholarship and fund solicitation to promo­ tion of MSU to prospective students. Dave Fox and Marcia Finch help send out thousands of pieces of mail yearly to alumni through the alumni mailing room in the basement of Student Services building. 125 A. Westley Rowland, University Editor, confers with Barbara Brown, staff artist, on material for one of the many publications put out by the department of Information Services. INFORMATION SERVICES Channeling the thou­ sands of news items which arise in the university is the endless task of the Department of Information Services. Director W. Lowell Treaster guides the extensive staff in disseminating educational and public serv­ ice information through available media to Mich­ igan residents. The department also supervises the university publications. The work of the department is divided into six areas: agriculture and home economics information; continuing education information; university news bureau; photographic laboratory; sports information and the University Editor’s office. Staff members in these areas publish bulletins, plan television shows, handle news releases and pho­ tographic prints and generally take care of all in­ formation problems for the university. Heading the long list of university publications are the two fine magazines, the “MSU Magazine” which is distributed to alumni and friends of the university, and the “MSU Reporter”, circulated internally to all Michigan State employees. Photography Editor Wilbur Nelson supervises all photo work done by Info Services. 126 Home economics extension programs on WMSB-TV are designed to assist homemakers throughout the state with problems concern­ ing their families’ health, appearance and welfare. CONTINUING EDUCATION-EXTENSION The continuing education program is basically a projection of the University resources to those per­ sons not regularly enrolled as students on the campus in East Lansing. This program may take the form of courses for credit, conferences, entertainment and cultural offerings, and special educational science projects. During the past years, the University extension program registered an increase over the previous years in the number of off-campus courses. A total number of 415 courses with an enrollment of 7,848 were held. These courses were taught by many different University departments indicating the campus-wide participation in the University extension program. Six continuing education centers operate in Michigan to intensify the University services at the local level. These centers are located in Traverse City, Saginaw, Grand Rapids, Benton Harbor, Pontiac, and Marquette. 127 WKAR engineer Rollin Dasen sets the turntable as he launches into one of the many hours of music offered on the radio station. The control room at WMSB-TV is a popular drawing attraction for visitors of all ages. 128 WKAR - WMSB Experience is important in almost any field of endeavor, but for radio-TV majors it is an absolute necessity. Through the facilities of WKAR radio and WMSB-TV, university owned and operated stations, these students graduate armed with excellent experience. WKAR provides MSU students with opportunities to work as production assistants, continuity writers, and announcers. The station operates on both AM and FM cycles to offer many programs throughout the day of music, news an information to farmers and homemakers throughout the state. The lab for television courses is found in the WMSB-TV studios. In these courses students become acquainted with the equipment and with the head­ aches of producing television shows. They work with professional technicians who air many shows daily. WMSB shares channel 10 with commercial station WILX-TV of Lansing. This sharing of air time by an educational and a commercial station is an innovation in the field of television and provides a wide variety of shows to viewers throughout cen­ tral Michigan. A special seminar in MSU’s Institute for Community Development is con­ ducted for participants from Pakistan, Nepal and the Philippines. Coordi­ nating the program is Nobel Bright, Jr., (end of table), of Michigan State’s International Programs. INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM Through agree­ ments with foreign governments, the United States International Cooperation Administration, other gov­ ernmental agencies, and private foundations, MSU maintains five major advisory groups in countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. This international impact is being felt by students in both courses and research on campus. Distin­ guished speakers and foreign students are a part of this impact, but the international dimension is being driven ever-closer home through the classroom and the teaching of returning faculty members. President John Hannah and Board of Trustees’ chairman Connor Smith were present for the opening of the MSU-sponsored Uni­ versity of Nigeria in October, 1960. Leading the procession are Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, Governor-General of Nigeria and Dr. George M. Johnson, acting principal of the university. m WHBI NSUKKA ! residential quarters e.n.hicheletti lSON nTg ltd T,L If ENUGtrf1 B°'il BUILDING CONTRACTORS Strength and vitality of a university is often reflected by its athletic program. Michigan State University’s growth into a major and important institution has been followed, and often pioneered, by the athletic program. The same spark igniting Michigan State’s post-World War II boom sparked the Spartans to a coveted position in the world of sports. Growth is greatly evident on three levels—intercollegiate, intramural and physical education. Today all are equally important and productive in the school’s educational philosophy. The intercollegiate program, the most extensive among schools in the Big 10, has produced numerous individual and team conference, national and international champions. The 1961 national champion was Norm Young, winner of a NCAA wrestling title. The MSU Marching Band shatters Saturday-morning peace on West Circle Drive as it struts through precision numbers on the music practice field before marching to Spartan Stadium for pre­ game and half-time shows. The grace and co­ ordination required in gymnastics is typical of skill in­ volved in all ath­ letic endeavors. ■pm ■ ■ ■ I The extensive physical education program includes some co-educa- tional courses including folk and social dancing, canoeing, bowl­ ing, tennis, hunter safety and swimming. Michigan State grapplers drew large and interested crowds for their meets on home mats. Where intercollegiate sports are suited to athletes with special talents, all students are given equal and ample opportunity to satisfy their competitive desire in one of the most extensive intramural programs offered at any college or university. Male or female can participate in his favorite sport the year-round. The physical education curriculum is designed to encourage its students to participate in active sports after he graduates and is following his livelihood. Such courses as dancing, canoeing and bowling serve this purpose. The physical education courses also produce top-notch athletic coaches for American schools. Michigan State athletics are also a vehicle of ex­ pression. Students can let off extra energy by sup­ porting Spartans. They can also join booster organ­ izations, like the marching band, which plays at foot­ ball games. The working press row in the three-deck pressbox at Spartan Stadium is filled to capacity for each home game by sports writers from all over the country. 135 MSU’s grand old man of sports, Lyman Frimodig, retired in 1960 after 41 years on the athletic staff. He was player, coach, and business manager of athletics. Enthusiastic Spartan fans find that Spartan spirit can find expression in realms other than the purely athletic. At Michigan State, an indefinable magic known simply as "Spartan Spirit" reaches its most fevered pitch of expression in varsity competition. From the roar of 75,000 voices as the goal is crossed to the hushed expectancy as a vaulter soars over the bar, Spartan Spirit urges on and rewards team efforts. . . . Senior Cheerleader Kitty Paul sparked the twelve- member co-ed squad throughout football and basket­ ball seasons. Uniformed Pinkerton men stood guard over network TV equip­ ment for Michigan State’s NCAA Game of the Week. 137 The 1960 season was surely frustrating for the Spartan football team. Its only losses—to Iowa and Ohio State—were enough to knock MSU out of any chance at the Big Ten title and into fourth place. The 6-2-1 record was MSU’s best in three years. The 27-15 defeat at the hands of co-champion Iowa was typical of Spartan frustration and can be termed as heartbreaking. MSU stormed from a two- touchdown halftime deficit to take a 15-14 lead when disaster struck. Senior quarterback Tom Wilson, di­ recting the Spartans to an insurance score with less than three minutes remaining in the contest, lost con­ trol of the football on a hand-off. The ball popped into the air only to land in the hands of fleet Iowa fullback Joe Williams, who streaked 67 yards for a game winning touchdown. The season-opening tie with Pittsburgh was a true warning of frustration in store for the Spartans, who dominated that game throughout, but who could only match the Panthers’ seven points. Victories over arch-rivals Michigan and Notre Dame did bring some joy to Spartanland as did the come-from-behind victories at Purdue and North­ western. Detroit, here for the season’s finale with a seven game win streak, almost caught the Spartans nap­ ping. Only a strong second half for MSU prevented an upset. Wayne Fontes (39) stops a Detroit end for a short gain after the Titans completed a pass. Detroit’s passing gave MSU an upset scare in the season’s last game. Fred Arbanas leaps to deflect a pass thrown by Ohio State’s all-conference quarterback Tom Matte. 139 Quarterback Tom Wilson bulls through the Michigan line while Gary Ballman (14) and Herb Adderley (26) block for him. Despite three elected team captains, the Spartans were void of any team leader, morale or statistic wise. Tri-captains Herb Adderley, Fred Arbanas and Fred Boylen, all good individual performers, failed to provide that certain spark needed to carry a team to championships. But they cannot be criticized for doing top-notch jobs at their positions. Three’s a crowd, even in a captain’s position. Adderley, named to the United Press International all-Big Ten team, led the team in passes caught and passing yards gained. The senior halfback’s nine catches was three more than any end caught. Juniors Ron Hatcher, fullback, and Gary Ballman, halfback, were the squad’s rushing leaders. Hatcher bulled through the line 59 times for 361 total yards and a 6.1 yards-per-try average. He lost only two yards all year. Ballman romped 295 yards in 51 tries to rank second behind Hatcher with a 5.7 average. An end, Art Brandstatter, was the top Spartan scorer despite just two touchdowns. As the team’s placekicker, he booted 16 extra points, missing two, and kicked three field goals. His point total was 37. Ballman and Carl Charon, junior fullback, each scored the most touchdowns—four. Ballman’s catch of a two-point conversion pass made him second behind Brandstatter with 26 points. 140 Michigan State had the unique set-up in the 1960 season of tri-captains—guard Fred Boylen, halfback Herb Adderley and end Fred Arbanas. Carl Charon bursts into the end-zone tying Iowa in a second-half comeback. Later Iowa scored on a freak play to win. Spartans geared for battle sprint onto the grid-iron amongst cheers of en­ thusiastic followers. Adding glamour to the 1960 football pageant was Homecoming Queen Mary Berles. Alert Michigan State end Lonnie Sanders (90) pounces on the football which the Michigan player found elusive.

In the Wilson tradition he de­ veloped into one of the Big Ten’s finest signal-callers playing more than 200 minutes to earn the team’s Governor of Michigan “Most Outstanding Play­ er” award. Wilson completed 46 passes for six touchdowns and 761 yards gained. In addition to Wilson, Adderley, Arbanas and Boylen, letterwinning Spartan seniors were Ike Grimsley, winner of the “Oil Can Award”; Jason Harness, Mickey Walker and Oscar Hahn. Halfback Gary Ballman dives through a maze of Michigan de­ fenders. He later scored the second touchdown of the day. Duane Kilbride and Jack Lamers were two of Michigan State’s enthusiastic sophomores. Perhaps they were too enthusiastic here. BASKETBALL Great things were not expected from the 1961 Michigan State basketball team. Of 15 squad mem­ bers, 12 were sophomores who had not seen a single minute of varsity competition. One senior, Dave Fahs, and two juniors made up the core of experi­ ence on the team. Art Schwann was the only junior to see any considerable action the previous season. Coach Forddy Anderson faced a rebuilding year, and as a result, Michigan State finished with one of its worst seasons on record and placed ninth in the Big Ten. The season mark included seven wins and ten losses. The two veteran guards, Fahs and Schwann, had to help break in and steady sophomores on the squad during the year. This guidance along with sparkling performances helped carry the team to the improve­ ment in the latter part of the season. Sophomores garnered their share of the post-sea­ son honors for their performances. Dick Hall led the team in scoring with 390 points that put him among the ten highest scorers in the conference. Jack Lamers received the team’s sportsmanship award. Spartan cheerleaders Karen Able and Ken Andrews mirror a tense moment on the court during the battle with the Wolverines. 144 A m Cage coach Forddy Anderson appears to be appealing to his play­ ers to brighten up their play in the disappointing (win-loss wise) 1960-1961 season. Team captain Dave Fahs has been rated one of the best “little men” in Spartan basketball history. The 5'9" guard from Monroe, Wisconsin, was named to an honorable mention spot on the UPI All-American basketball squad his senior year and Little All-American first team his junior year. Dave’s 318 points as a senior was third highest on the squad. Many of his points came on unorthodox shots, the type that left fans gasping at their uncanny accuracy. High arching jump shots, looping overhead shots, hip shots and driving hooks were among his favorites. The mighty mite utilized a deceptive passing ability that often flustered and confused a defender. Many times a teammate scored on clear shots benefited by Dave’s fakes. It was this type of play that helped him earn the team’s leadership award at the end of the 1961 season. Courage was a Fahs attribute. In the Illinois game he accounted for ten direct assists and scored 14 points himself in the first half—all while playing on a badly sprained ankle. The season did not begin too painfully because of wins over Butler and Bowling Green. But then the young Spartans lost eight of the next nine games, finished last in the Los Angeles Classic and lost the first three conference games. Kansas State and Kansas gave Michigan State its first spankings—104-82 and 93-69. These defeats were avenged over Iowa State, 92-81. Wisconsin, Indiana and Iowa all walked over State before Dick Hall sparked the Spartans to their first Big Ten victory—an 81-69 walloping of Michigan. But State followed up with a 77-62 loss to North­ western because it could hit on but 26% of its shots. Minnesota stopped MSU, 89-70. Signs of revival were evident as State led Illinois all the way until the final 15 seconds when the Illini stole the ball from Art Schwarm to score a game winning basket. Four MSU sophomores defend against a Northwestern attack— Ted Williams (33), Dick Hall (32), Jack Lamers (falling) and Duke Kilbride. Dave Fahs, only Spartan senior, inherited the team’s leadership role. Here he goes up for a backhanded lay-up against Ohio State. Sophomore Ted Williams leaps high, but not soon enough as he loses rebound to Northwestern. High scorer Dick Hall finds he is fenced in by three Northwestern defenders on this shooting attempt. i l * m Frustration reached a maximum when small col­ lege power Northern Michigan conquered Michigan State, 77-71, on its first invasion of the Upper Penin­ sula. But the team must have been looking ahead to its following encounter at Notre Dame. Behind Hall’s 34 point outburst, the Spartans ended the Irish 24-home game win streak with a 89-74 upset. Then the Spartans turned in one of their finest games. They had to, as it was against Ohio State, considered at the time the super team of America. At the half, the Spartans held a surprising one-point lead. But this was the night Ohio State All-American Jerry Lucas decided to set a conference scoring rec­ ord. He tallied 48 points that gave OSU its 83-68 win. A trip to Ann Arbor was for naught as Michigan won a poorly played game, 78-67. Minnesota fol­ lowed with its third win of the year over State. Bevenge was gained over Illinois as MSU moved out of the cellar with a 90-80 win paced by Schwann’s 23 points. Again the conference scoring record was broken against the Spartans. Purdue’s Terry Dischinger netted 52 sensational points to stop another MSU upset bid, 85-74. Hoping to end the year on a winning note, State gave Ohio State another tough time before bowing in the second half after a cold spell. MSU was ahead at the half again, this time by two points. Iowa was the first of the Big Ten’s top three teams to succumb to Michigan State, 74-64, to close out the season. Dick Hall uses a hook-shot to go over Northwestern’s defense. Hal Brookens (14) primes himself for a possible rebound. - ■■ . mm, S' iBBHISi ■ V - :f v:;-Y ’3 Wmi Michigan State was beaten by Minnesota three times during the season because of Gopher aggressiveness like that shown above.

After a promising spring training trip, the 1960 Spartan baseball team had a rough time in the Big Ten. The Spartans won only four games and lost seven in conference play. The overall record was 17-13. During the regular season the Spartans split two exhibition games each with Detroit and Notre Dame, both powerful independents. Blame for the low eighth place Big Ten finish was laid to weak hitting. Bill Schudlich, junior first baseman, was the top hitting regular with a .259 sea­ son average. As a team the Spartans hit .223 for the year and .194 in league games, ninth in the Big Ten. Senior John Hendee was the team’s top slugger with four home runs, 25 runs batted in and 22 runs scored. The team was much stronger fielding- and pitch- ing-wise. The pitchers were often victims of poor team hitting. Junior Mickey Sinks was the only pitcher to win more than two games. He won eight and had a 1.64 earned run average. His ERA for league tests was better, 1.35, but his record was only 2.2. Along with Schudlich, Sinks was named to the all-Big Ten team. Committing only 15 errors, the Spartans led the league in fielding. Senior shortstop John Golden and outfielder Hendee led their departments with no errors. Third baseman Jerry Lumianski made only one bobble in ten league games. Jerry Lumianski feels right at home sliding into third base in a game against Alma. He was the Spartans’ regular third sacker in 1960. Wm m u » ;•"* 8 B 1 ■ ■ I Hi ■ HHBsife* ■ mmm tó p § ... ■ »■■»■■MM«»« * ' ■ VmiàÈiyfe japTsafr"'*--..

Willie Atterberry was second in the 440-yard run and third in the 220. Other points were picked up by Bill Reynolds and Gerry Young in the two-mile race (Young won the event in the 1961 indoor championship meet); Sonny Akapata in the broad jump and Brian Castle in the 880-yard run. Kleinhans and Atterberry were champions at the Penn Relays in the pole vault and 400 meter hurdles, respectively. The indoor track squad last winter was composed mostly of inexperienced sophomores and juniors and was able to finish only as high as sixth in the cham­ pionship meet.

The Spartans gathered a 5-15 conference record, which moved them up a notch from the last place finish of last year. The 11-16 overall record was one of their better marks in its history. For the second straight year, a stellar perform­ ance by a MSU goalie helped to offset an anemic scoring punch. Sophomore John Chandik held the opposition to 3.6 goals per game in the Spartan nets. The season was spiced by a victory over Michigan and a surprise forfeit win over Michigan Tech. In the hard-fought MSU-UM series, three of the four games were decided by a single goal margin. State won its only game of the series when Jim Atack and Ed Ozybko scored key goals late in the game for a 3-2 victory. The forfeit was awarded to State when Michigan Tech used a suspended player in its line-up against MSU. Tech won the game, 8 to 1, before the Spar­ tans appealed to league officials.

Michigan steamed into the Big Ten tournament as the favorite to take the team championship— which it won the previous year—and at least four individual titles. Prior to the meet Fendley Collins, MSU’s veteran coach of 31 years, warned the Wol­ verines: “Because of better balance, MSU and Illinois could upset the defending champions. My team has a good chance of having someone among the first four fin­ ishers in every weight.” Collins’ prediction was missed by one. In nine of ten weight divisions there was a MSU wrestler among the top four finishers. Two of them, Okla Johnson and Norm Young, grabbed championships. George Hobbs and John McCray were runners-up. Merle Prebel and Mike Senzig picked up third place honors and Jerry Hoke, Duane Wohlfert and Bob Schluter were fourth. During the season the Spartans gave indications that they would be a threat to the Wolverines’ title by compiling eight wins and losing once. Michigan State’s Duane Wohlfert seems to have everything under control as he lifts Iowa’s Dave Combs off the mat. Wohlfert con­ trolled the match long enough to win 3-2. John McCray, Michigan State, moves atop Iowa’s Dick Jenkins on the way to a 4-3 victory over the Hawkeye.

Houston unseated MSU as the NCAA titleholder and Penn State and Army finished ahead of MSU in the IC4A championships. The Spartans finished 30 points ahead of Iowa to retain the Big Ten crown for the sixth consecutive year. Loss of prominence wasn’t surprising to Coach Fran Dittrich who expected the team to suffer from the graduation of Capt. Forddy Kennedy and three other 1959 lettermen. Only three lettermen re­ turned to carry the team—Capt. Bill Reynolds, a senior, and juniors Jerry Young and Clayton Ward. Reynolds and Ward were the pacesetters for the Spartans in the dual and three-way meets (which MSU won two out of three) while Young proved to be the better competitor in championship meets.

It finished third in the Big 10 championships, won 17 matches (including the spring training trip) and lost but three, and boasted its first conference champion since 1955. The team was rolling to an undefeated season, chalking up wins in its first 16 matches before dis­ aster struck. Michigan, Western Michigan and Notre Dame beat the Spartans in succession. Dro- bac’s netmen recuperated to defeat Ohio State in the season finale. Senior Ron Mescall was the team’s conference champion capturing the No. 5 singles title. He also compiled a 17-3 regular season mark, tops on the team. Brian Eisner, a sophomore holding down the team’s tough No. 1 singles slot, reached the Big Ten finals before he lost. 1960 TENNIS RESULTS MSU 7 .........................................

Of all sports, fencing looks the most complicated as this photo­ graph proves. Note all the equipment required for this meet with the University of Detroit. FENCING After the first seven meets of the 1961 season the MSU varsity fencers already had surpassed the pre­ vious year’s win total by winning three of the meets. The fencers won only two of ten in the entire 1960 campaign. In the initial match of the 1961 season the Spartans lost, 14-13, to Detroit. Sophomores such as Dick Schloemer and Don Johnson paced the team despite the loss. A three-way meet at Chicago saw the fencers win easily over Chicago, 17-10, but falling before power­ ful Illinois, 19-6. Chuck Schmitter, Jr., Capt. Dick Lawless and Schloemer paced the Chicago win. In the next two meets MSU toppled Iowa, 17-10, while losing another one point decision, 14-13, to Wisconsin. Another three-way meet found the fenc­ ers reversing the one-point loss trend by beating Notre Dame, 14-13. But Ohio State won 15-12 at the Columbus meet despite impressive performances by Johnson, Schmitter and Schloemer. Michigan State’s golf team soared to second place in the 1960 Big 10 golf meet to climax the sport’s finest year on campus. The Spartans lost only one dual-meet. Purdue was the only team to conquer the MSU golfers. The Boilermakers won the dual-meet, 14-22, and finished a scant 11 strokes ahead of Michigan State in the championship meet at the MSU Forest Akers Golf Course last spring. C. A. Smith paced the Spartans in the Big 10 meet with a 296 score for a third place finish. He compiled a 7-3 won-loss record in regular season competition. But Ty Caplin and Tim Baldwin turned in the top dual-meet marks with eight wins, one loss and one tie apiece. In the championships Caplin was ninth with 305 strokes and Baldwin was 12th with 307 strokes. Tad Schmidt and Jack Reynolds were 21st and 23rd. Scores of all golfers and teams in the Big Ten Golf championship were channeled to this central scoreboard at the MSU golf course. 1960 GOLF RESULTS GOLF MSU MSU 26 %_____Illinois 9% 18%--____W.

Second in Big 10 Won 9, Lost 1 Three members of the varsity crew await the start of competition dur­ ing one of its spring regattas. Practicing daily under the tutelage of student coach Jim Tyler, the crew worked out flaws in style while competing against the freshmen team. CREW The coxswain calls the beat and the crewmen strain to keep up the rigorous stroking demanded. Michigan State’s rowing team held the first home regatta on the Grand River west of Lansing in 1960, its third year of competition. The varsity crew lost to Ecorse in a preliminary heat. The freshmen were edged by Ecorse in the finals. A triangular meet with Culver Military Institute and Purdue turned into a swimming meet when rough water at Culver swamped the Spartan varsity shell. The frosh were able to compete on the stormy waters, though, but lost to Purdue. MSU’s crew, coached by a student, Jim Tyler, prac­ ticed daily at the Grand River site. Tyler, a founder of the MSU crew, said the almost mirror perfect waters at the meet site is the “finest in the country”. Rowing is still an intramural sport, but members of the team are striving to gain varsity status. Under IM sponsorship the budget is smalliso equipment is limited and the rowers pay travel expenses for away meets. If rowing became a varsity sport, the crew could arrange an impressive schedule with some of the top collegiate teams in North America. The striking photo-mural in the foyer of the new Men’s Intramural building pays tribute to the thousands of participants in the dozens of sports offered in I.M. competition. 166 Blasting from a trap on the Forrest Akers university golf course is a familiar predica­ ment for individual and I.M. golfers. Harris F. Beeman, Director of Intramurals. More than 10,000 athletically inclined Michigan State students participate in the broad intramural program each year. The fine facilities and vast range of activities for both men and women offer the challenge of competition and team work to Greek, dorm and independent groups. . . . Women's and IXvÆ Sports Bryan dormitory grabbed the most team titles among teams entered in the Intramural department’s 1960 fall program. Bryan was dormitory, football, badminton, paddleball and volleyball champion. Lambda Chi Alpha and Zeta Beta Tau dominated the fraternities with two titles each. LCA was all­ university football champion and fraternity badmin­ ton winner. Sigma Nu copped first in regular foot­ ball standings. ZBT won its titles in bowling and table tennis. West Shaw and Rather were the only dorms to snap Bryan’s hold. They won the table tennis tourney and turkey trot respectively. The independent league champions were Iota- spheres, football, Evans Scholars, paddleball, Camp­ ers, table tennis, and Arrows, badminton. Individual competition, Les Miller and Hermie Miller were champions in football pass and place- kick, respectively. Jerry Ehenau, Ken Malich, Okla Johnson, and Dick Beaudry won titles in gymnastics. The wrestling championships produced winners Luke Johnsos, Larry Shipley, Bob Kerr, Lee Montgomery, Harvey Segur and Jack Spaun. Bob Dixon and Terry Brenner won the handball doubles championship; Nels Martin the fencing title; and Dave Haywood archery. Jay Stevens and Gil Reid placed one-two in the turkey trot. Freshman John A. Lewis snared the foil championship in fencing competition which attracted more than 110 participants in three weapons. 168 Evans Scholars pitted their skill’s against 47 other independent league teams in winter term play. Uncle Tom’s Boys captured the first place trophy. There is beauty in sports. This underwater swimmer in the new IM pool glides through the crystal clear water to give the photog­ rapher a “water portrait”. Fast action on the IM building courts marked the spirit of winter term volley­ ball competition. 170 A close battle for first place and four meet rec­ ords helped make the fraternity swimming meet one of the most exciting events in the IM department’s winter program. Sigma Alpha Epsilon edged Phi Delta Theta, 37-36, in the meet that had another tight battle for third place. Psi Upsilon nosed out Sigma Chi, 26-25. Records were set by Psi U’s Jim Carne in the 50 yard butterfly, Theta Chi’s Bob Hill in the 50 yard backstroke, Zeta Beta Tau’s 200 yard freestyle team, and Phi Delta Theta’s Wayne Parsons in the 100 yard individual medley. Parsons won the 50 yard freestyle to be the meet’s only double winner. Jack Slaughter helped Emmons swamp the field in the dormitory swim meet. He won the 50 yard and 100 yard freestyle races and swam a leg on Emmons’ first place 200 yard freestyle relay team. Emmons gathered three second places, also, to distance Arm­ strong by 20 points, 57-37. East Shaw was third with 30 points. Swimming championships did not end with team competition. Eight individual events were held, also, with Andy Miller sweeping two—the 50 and 100 freestyle races. Other champs were Jim Hamilton, 50 yard breaststroke; Jack Valentine, 50 yard butter­ fly; Bob Hill, 50 yard backstroke; and Larry Shipley, diving. In paddleball doubles, Bob Stewart and Larry Savarese were the winners. Denton Newland was a double winner in the gym­ nastics tournament. He won the high bar and par­ allel bar events besides placing second in free exer­ cise. Reginald Gay was the still rings champion and high bar runner-up. Jim Bennett and Ken Andrews won trampoline and free exercise titles, respectively. No double winners resulted in the weightlifting contest. Winners were Tom Jordan, heavyweight; Steve Chismar, 189-pound class; Dan Murphy, 169- pound; George Gilbert, 149-pound; and Ken Blood, 129 pound. Championships in nine other sports were offered winter term by the IM department, including basket­ ball, bowling, volleyball, hockey, handball, table tennis, badminton, fencing and wrestling. Winter term competition among women’s groups saw East Yakely top Tri-Delta for the championship of twenty-one teams. Uncle Tom’s Boys, winning three championships spring term, bounced into the all-independent 1959- GO throne. Bailey was the all-dormitory champion and Sigma Nu was the fraternity titleholder. Uncle Tom’s Boys finished atop the all-university softball heap after finishing second to Army Black- sox in independent play. Emmons won the dor­ mitory softball championship. Alpha Gamma Rho was No. 1 in the fraternity standings while Pack­ aging took the Ag-Council division. The other titles for Uncle Tom’s came in in­ dependent volleyball and golf. West and East Shaw shared the dorm golf trophy. The Greek golf win­ ner was SAE. ATO ran away with the fraternity track meet hon­ ors. East Shaw nudged Bailey for the dormitory track crown. The Nite Owls and Vets I ran one-two in in­ dependent bowling. The Phi Delts won the fraternity tennis title while the Zebras took first in the independent and Butterfield in the dorm divisions. Individual competition winners were Lew Mc­ Daniel, golf; Dave Gessford, tennis; Phil Koehn and Marguerite Tout, skish; and Fred Fetters and Max Hasse, baseball throw. Women’s softball competition saw spirited play on the parts of Greek and dormitory teams. IM softball tilts in the spring of 1960 brought out a record number of participants. Spring Sports Here is photographic proof that MSU athletic facilities are utilized by the student body as well as varsity teams. Women’s Sports The men at Michigan State are not the only ones to enjoy athletics. The women students par­ ticipate in sports in the Spartan tradition. Contests with other schools, intramural games and physical education classes are available to the co-eds just as they are to the men. The best facilities and equipment are available to the women. The new women’s intramural building is the center of the co-eds’ sports. The facilities include a brand new swimming pool, a large gymnasium, and a dance floor. Outside there is Landon Field, restricted for women’s competition. On it are three softball fields and a lacrosse field. Field hockey, archery and golf are found on Old College Field. Facilities in the men’s IM building are used by women for classes and intra­ mural sports, with the outdoor swimming pool attracting the most attention. In winter sports dormitory girl teams domi­ nated the championship picture over sorority teams.. Both East and West Yakely edged Delta Delta Delta for two championships. In basketball East Yakely was champion and West Yakely in volley­ ball. Delta Delta Delta was runner-up both times. Other basketball finalists were Phillips, West Mayo, Alpha Xi Delta, South Campbell and Delta Zeta. Volleyball finalists were Sigma Kappa, East Landon and South Campbell. Kappa Kappa Gamma could finish no better than second twice to dormitory teams in bowling and swimming competition. Phillip s was the bowling titlist beating out the Kappa team and North Williams. In swimming Abbott was the winner over Kappa Kappa Gamma. 174 mm Spring and fall activities in Women’s IM sports includes such rugged contests as field hockey, often resulting in bruised shins. Lacrosse, considered one of the fastest sports in the world, is among the sports in which coeds have intercollegiate competition. Impressive May Morning Sing ceremonies in front of Beaumont Tower brought happy surprise for Marge Anderson as she was called into Tower Guard. Student Organization Council members, representing each of the club interest areas, met weekly to discuss administrative problems. From left to right they are: Jane Denison, Comm. Arts; Ronald English, Sei. & Arts; Tom Davidson, Eng.; John Barkham, Chrm.; Rodney Tulloch, Agr.; Barbara Durell, Religious groups; Lee Bowen, charter review chrm.; and Lloyd Prestgard, B&PS. To both leaders and followers, the myriad assortment of Michigan State student activities provides an outlet for creative expression. The hundreds of honorary societies and clubs offer practical experience in group action as well as a training ground for further learning in many different areas of interest. . . . Charter Circle members tapped outstanding residence hall women into membership during after-hours serenades. Rehearsals for State Singers occupied the time and efforts of both men and women throughout the year.

MORTAR BOARD Mortar Board actives entertained the Lansing-area alumnae at a December dessert at the home of Mrs. John A. Hannah. Each spring at May Morning Sing, up to 25 excited junior women are tapped for membership in Mortar Board, national senior women’s honorary. After intensive screening, the women are selected on the basis of high scholarship, leadership, and exceptional service to the university. The members of Mortar Board annually join with Tower Guard and Spartan Women’s League in spon­ soring Spinster’s Spin, the winter term turnabout dance. Along with the other two women s organizations they also honor 50 outstanding senior women at Lantern Night in June. Mortar Board participates in one all-university project each year. This year they assisted Vice President Gor­ don Sabine in the Alumni Distinguished Scholarship competition for high school seniors. The MSU chapter of Mortar Board acted as hostesses for the sectional convention held here in April. Thirteen outstanding senior men each year wear the blue blazer with the red insignia which identifies them as members of Excalibur, the local honorary for senior men. Of the 13 members, several are tapped in the spring at Water Carnival, and the remaining are tapped the next fall at Homecoming. The men are selected by the previous year’s mem­ bers, and are chosen on the basis of character, extra­ curricular activities, and scholarship. Variety is stressed in the selections — this year’s members were outstanding in fields ranging from science to dramatics. A pleasant service function for Excalibur members is the escorting of the Homecoming Queen and her court, both at the football game and at the Homecoming dance. They also present the queen with her trophy during the public coronation. Each year Excalibur recognizes one outstanding fac­ ulty member and presents him with a plaque. The local chapter holds weekly luncheon and business meetings at a local restaurant. The ‘lucky” thirteen Excalibur members meet often, both form­ ally and informally, in a special room reserved for their use at the Coral Gables.

BLUE KEY The most pleasant chore for the men of Blue Key is the series of rush parties for campus beauties which leads to the selection of Miss MSU. The qualities required for membership in Blue Key national honor fraternity are junior or senior standing and outstanding achievements in positions of campus leadership and service. The members are chosen each spring and fall by the already active members. They are announced at winter term J-Hop. The annual long-awaited “duty” of Blue Key is the interviewing of Miss MSU candidates and the selection of the queen, who is also announced at J-Hop. At Blue Key meetings, many original ideas are dis­ cussed which are eventually put into effect by the uni­ versity. The idea of a campus United Nations was first brought up at Blue Key and was then given to the junior class as a project. The local chapter of Blue Key was organized in 1927. There are chapters of this men’s honorary at many lead­ ing universities throughout the nation. Most meetings of the local honorary feature speakers or discussions on topics of local and national interest. Perhaps you have at some time been hopelessly con­ fused in registration. If so, it is likely that a coed with a Tower Guard arm band came to your rescue. This sophomore women’s honorary serves the univer­ sity in numerous ways. Aside from assisting at regis­ tration, the coeds each spend several hours a week reading to the blind. Tower Guard also offers a year- round tutoring service to the student body, and assists new students during orientation week. The annual tapping of the newly-honored freshman women at May Morning Sing is one of the most beautiful and exciting events of the year. The tapping, accom­ panied by singing, takes place early in the morning in front of Beaumont Tower. The members are chosen from freshman women on the basis of scholarship, lead­ ership and character. The pins for Tower Guard members are small replicas of Beaumont Tower. This is the only organization per­ mitted to use the Tower as a meeting place. Reading to blind students in the library is the main service project performed by Tower Guard. TOWER GUARD Bottom Row: Deborah Dekker; Martha Hollen; Jean Stewart, Treas.; Carol Cassidy, V.

Regularly assisting the 35 women of Tower Guard in their registration duties are the 35 men of Green Helmet. The members of this honorary, known by their green arm bands, are always ready and willing to assist new or confused students during registration. Members of Green Helmet are chosen at the end of their freshman year and are announced at IFC Sing. They are selected by the previous year’s members on the basis of leadership,' activities and scholarship. A 3.2 all-college average is required for membership. This sophomore men’s honorary serves the univer­ sity by sponsoring a program of orientation and guidance to freshmen each term and by offering a year-round tutoring service to all students. They also join with other campus honoraries in ushering at commencement. The meetings of Green Helmet feature speakers and discussions on various aspects of university life and student responsibility. They annually nominate an out­ standing faculty member for an all-university award. Members of Green Helmet regularly look forward to social and service events with Tower Guard, their coun­ terpart for sophomore women. GREEN HELMET Green Helmet adviser Dr. Stanley Idzerta keeps close tabs on the members and contributes much to their meetings and projects.

Alpha Lambda Delta actives annually entertain prospective mem­ bers at a winter term “Smarty Party.” ALPHA LAMBDA DELTA A continuous search and pursuit of high scholarship is signified in the tiny replica of a candle worn by mem­ bers of Alpha Lambda Delta, freshmen womens hon­ orary. Perhaps it represents the burning of the midnight oil in quest of the 3.5 all-university grade point average necessary for membership. This scholarship average must be attained and main­ tained by the members for two out of three terms of their freshman year. But academics is not the sole interest of these coeds. On their social calendar each year is a “Smarty Party” which is given winter term for freshmen women with a 3.3 — or better — grade point average. Social functions with the members of Phi Eta Sigma also find a place on their busy agenda. This year the members also assisted other campus honoraries with a tutoring service for students needing assistance with university college subjects. Their spring term initiation banquet revealed the Senior Award which is given to the senior member with the highest grade point average. 185 Bottom Row: Gwen McCormick; Mary Haselschwerdt; Alice Bonomo; Patricia Wineland, Chrm.; Barbara Dow; Patricia Hill; Bonnie Voiers.

Tapping takes place after closing hours when Circle members go into the residence halls and sing outside the doors of the newly-selected members. The MSU Circle honorary was assisted in its forma­ tion by the University of Michigan organization. The members hope that the women s honorary will become a Big 10 organization in the near future.

PHI ETA SIGMA Constant academic striving and achievement — the lofty aim of Phi Eta Sigma —is carried out by the ma­ jority of its members in the three years of college follow­ ing their initiation. And it’s not strange that the members of this fresh­ man men’s honorary attain high scholastic heights. A 3.5 all-university at the end of two terms is required for admittance into Phi Eta Sigma. Service and socializing also rank high in the interests of this group of men. They annually distribute pamphlets on “How to Study,” sponsor well-known speakers on campus, and hold a banquet and picnic with the counter­ part women’s honorary, Alpha Lambda Delta.

AGRICULTURE COUNCIL The annual Ox Roast, a feast with food enough to satisfy the hungriest male in the crowd, is sponsored each spring by the Agricultural Council. This council, made up of an elected representative from every agricultural organization on campus, coordinates agricultural activities at MSU and promotes the general interest and welfare of the College of Agriculture. Meetings are held weekly for the discussion of prob­ lems and the planning of activities. Bottom Row: Don Adams; Lavern Wahl, Sec.; William Harrison, Pres.; Robert Nixon, V.

AGRONOMY CLUB A more complete understanding of farm crops and soil science is the aim of Agronomy Club. This organiza­ tion, open to any interested student, attempts to bring students and faculty members together for an exchange of ideas in soil science and related fields. Agronomy club’s soil judging team won a first place in the regional collegiate soil judging contest last spring and a second place in the fall contest. An award is given to the club’s outstanding member at the Ag Honors ban­ quet each winter term. Bottom Row: James Clary, Treas.; Richard Swenson; Richard Woods; T. K.

During Farmers’ Week the American Society of Agri­ cultural Engineers is busier than any other campus or­ ganization. The crowds really keep the fellows hopping as they serve lunch to all the visitors. Plenty of energy seems to be a basic requirement for membership in this active group. In addition to Farmers’ Week, it participates in Activities Carnival and the Engineering Exposition. The calendar is completed with guest speakers in agri­ culture and with field trips both inside and outside the state. FLORICULTURE FORUM The Floriculture Forum’s purpose is to promote a general interest in floriculture by presenting current developments in the field and developing contacts with prominent men in the industry. The group participated in the flower show and were awarded a second place in fall term’s Activities Carnival. Each year forum members tour greenhouses and flower- shops in other states with the money earned from selling mums during football games.

BLOCK AND BRIDLE Careful judging in all classes is the primary purpose in the Block and Bridle show. 190 Choosing a “little queen” is one of the many and varied activities of the Block and Bridle club. If not the “littlest” queen chosen, this queen is cer­ tainly the youngest. She is chosen by the members from a group of girls between the ages of two to six years and her reign lasts through the annual Horse Show. In their varied program, the members promote all phases of animal husbandry and bring together students that are interested in beef, hogs, sheep and horses. In 1960 they received the top sheep award at Kansas City American Royal Livestock meet. Michigan State’s chapter has always ranked among the top in the nation. It sends livestock teams to the national college judging meets and has promotion booths at special events on campus. Three awards are presented by the group: Hoof and Hook award, Harry Moxley scholarship and the merit trophy award. Guests speakers are scheduled for their meetings. A representative of Swift and Company met with them this year. Throw out your razors, don’t buy any new blades, and inform your girl that you’re going to look like a Forester! These instructions might have been given to the mem­ bers of the Forestry Club during winter term as they prepared for their annual Foresters’ Shindig, which is held in February. This annual dance sets the stage for awards of the beards, goatees, mustaches, long sideburns and some peach fuzz which were the resulting achievements. Other activities of the forestry members include a Field Day banquet with foresters from the University of Michigan. Outstanding work in the department of Forestry is recognized each year by an award to the senior member contributing the greatest achievement. Eligibility for membership is based upon enrollment in the forestry curriculum. Stronger bonds of friendship between the students and faculty is proposed by the group. They also aim to provide a program of educational and social value. Highlighting the annual Foresters’ Shindig is the shedding beards sprouted for the occasion. of FORESTRY CLUB Bottom Row: Jack Titus; John Gaffney; Thomas Fulk; Sec.-Treas.; John Case, Pres.; John Andresen, Adv.; Miller Ross, V.

Alpha Phi Omega places signs such as these on campus lawns each spring. ALPHA PHI OMEGA “Let’s beat the champs,” was the slogan of Alpha Phi Omega during the fall term blood drive which they sponsored. Their goal was to meet the challenge set them by the inmates of Jackson Prison, the worlds champion blood donors. Although MSU fell short of the goal, the blood drive was highly successful, due to the famous hard work and spirit of Alpha Phi Omega. This men’s service organization, consisting of former Boy Scouts, also assists during registration, ushers at campus activities, acts as guides for visitors and new students, and works with Boy Scout troops.

MSU VETERANS’ ASSOCIATION The Two Point Dinner begun by the MSU Veterans Association several years ago seems on its way to becom­ ing an established tradition at State. At this dinner, open to all students with a 2.0 average or better, an out­ standing faculty member and student are presented with a certificate of honor. Gov. John B. Swainson spoke at the spring affair. If you attended any football games last fall, you could not have missed the huge white sheet raised over the heads of a group in the stands. The sheet carried the picture of the infamous duck, symbol of the MSU Vets. Most likely this was also the section from which the loudest cheers were issuing. The Veterans’ Association annually throws a Santa Claus party for its members. With the usual enthusiasm of these campus doers, they join little league baseball players in an annual car wash.

BOARD OF PUBLICATIONS The main decision making body regarding supervision of student publications is the MSU Board of Student Publications. The board is made up of publications editors, the director of publications, one AUSG repre­ sentative and various administrative officials. The board selects and formally appoints the editors and business managers of the student newspaper and yearbook, and the special interest magazines. STATE NEWS EDITORIAL A willingness to brave any and all dangers to get a story characterizes the editorial staff of the Michigan State News. This trait brings both commendations and condemnations from readers. Only staffers actually realize the effort that goes into each daily issue of the State News. Confusion reigns supreme as the paper is slowly but surely fitted together. Circles under the eyes are a common characteristic of all the night editors.

STATE NEWS ADVERTISING At times the necessity for money overwhelms the State Newsêfi Outside of the paper’s printing its own “folding currency”, the advertising staff manages the fi­ nancial apparatus. Staff members convince local businesses of the ad­ vantages of placing ads in the newspaper. Also they secure advertisements from national businesses and or­ ganize the campus classified section. All these adver­ tisements are arranged and proofread before being printed in the paper. STATE NEWS CIRCULATION The unsung heroes of the Michigan State News are the individuals comprising the circulation staff. The buzz of the alarm clock at 5:30 a.m. starts them off every morning as they deliver the newspaper to living units and campus buildings and offices. In addition to circulating 19,100 papers daily, the staff mails copies to subscribers and advertisers. Another function of circulation is to keep the files of back issues of the State News up-to-date.

They took up new and more spacious quarters in the former Spartan office. From this new station, they published three issues of veterinary news designed to keep all vet. med. students aware of recent developments in the field. All staff members are students in good standing in the College of Veterinary Medicine and members of the American Vet­ erinary Medical Association. Aside from this serious duty, staffers spent time polish­ ing up their Oilcan Award which they retired perma­ nently after winning it for the third consecutive year.

AUSG EXECUTIVE The Executive branch of All-University Student Gov­ ernment handles an array of services for the student body. Student loans and insurance, free mimeographing services, an orientation program and academic benefits are all part of the services of AUSG to the student. Heading the Executive branch, the president of AUSG carefully appoints the cabinet members, subject to the approval of Student Congress. AUSG Executive branch works closely with Congress, putting Congressional bills and decisions into action. STUDENT CONGRESS Student Congress, the legislative branch of AUSG, answered student demands with several new programs and changes this year. A select Congress committee drafted an extensive report on ROTC during the sum­ mer, which was largely responsible for changes made in the program. Congress members are elected each spring from living units and representative student groups. Congress meets each Wednesday night to discuss problems and to at­ tempt to remedy those problems with bills, ordinances and suggestions in the form of resolutions.

UNION BOARD The Student Union building is home to the students on campus in general and to the members of Union Board in particular. The second-floor office is a hubbub of confusion and excitement as Union Board organizes one of the largest programs of university activities. The talents of Union Board members are fully ex­ hibited during Union Board Week. Each evening a special event is featured — a jazz festival, a variety show, a fashion show, or an art display. Publicizing and promoting student use of the Union’s facilities occupies most of Union Board’s time. Weekly dances and tournaments in bridge, bowling, chess, and billiards are organized for the self-professed “experts,” and instruction in bridge and dancing are provided for the novices. Students lacking funds to “follow the team” in person do so through movies of away football games. The forum lectures introduce prominent speakers dis­ cussing contemporary and controversial subjects.

It attempts to make every class activity more significant—the last Homecoming as Students, the last Water Carnival. The Council, headed by the elected officers of the senior class, recognizes outstanding seniors through selecting and announcing seniors of the week and mem­ bers of the ’61 Club. The last week of spring term is Senior Council’s glory, completely planned and executed by the members. Excitement and anticipation reigns as the Council an­ nounces members of the ’61 club, begins the “swing” in Senior Swingout and makes last-minute preparations for long-awaited commencement. Members are chosen on the basis of petition and inter­ view by the four elected officers. Each member is in charge of one of the many council activities. Unified efforts of all council members are the push behind all class activities. Weekly meetings of senior council are held to guide the grad­ uating class through its last year.

JUNIOR COUNCIL J-Council members gathered often to deliberate class policy and formulate plans. A flurry of activity highlighted the work of Junior council this year. Block “S” cheering section, arranged on a competitive basis, produced noteworthy turnout. Southern warmth and hospitality invaded the snow­ bound campus under the theme of “Tara,” the money­ making winter term J-Hop. 1500 couples danced to the music of Buddy Morrow in a setting resembling the lawn of a southern plantation. Preceding the dance, the couples engaged in a festive dinner at the Albert Pick, arranged for them by the J-Hop Executive Board. Gift certificates were awarded to lucky ticket winners,! and memorable favors were presented to all the coeds. Spring term the Council turned its attention to honor­ ing deserving members of the class. Outstanding Junior awards were presented to the juniors who devoted a vast amount of their time and interest to the university and their class during their past year. The awards were pre­ sented at Sorority Sing. 247 Huge appetites for pizza are typical of Frosh-Soph council members, who manage to spread this apprecia­ tion for their favorite food all over campus during Pizza Week. This winter term feature is the major money­ making project for the Council. Divided into the economic, social, and cultural and service committees, the Council enters many fields in order to effectively serve both the freshman and sopho­ more classes. It welcomes freshmen during Frosh-Soph Daze, aids confused students in planning their class schedules during registration, plans Parents Weekend to introduce the university to the parents, and even invades politics with a pre-election rally to acquaint the student body with the campus various candidates. To further aid students who are still confused at the end of the term, Frosh-Soph Council innovated review sessions of the basic colleges courses, emphasizing the important and meaningful elements presented through­ out the year.

PANHELLENIC COUNCIL Sign-up for spring rush takes place in the Student Services office which PanHel shares with other women’s service groups. Rush has more than one meaning for PanHellenic council. Guiding the activities of twenty individual sororities as well as making sorority life attractive to new coeds during rush activities require the time and the effort of all members. In addition to its coordinating activities, Pan-Hel promotes scholarship through awarding trophies for the highest grade point average and the most improvement in average among the sororities. It encourages service to others through sponsoring a foreign student. It also honors new sorority housemothers at a fall tea. Collaborating together, PanHel and its fellow Greek organization, Inter-Fraternity council, earned a trophy for their display in the Big 10 IFC-PanHel Conference at the University of Minnesota last spring term. PanHel and IFC also co-sponsored “Blue Angel,” the annual Greek dance, and Greek Week, that special time for all affiliates. Bound together by a common spirit within their individual fraternities, Greek men are also united in the cooperative efforts of the Inter-Fraternity Council. In addition to planning all-inclusive projects, the members of the council perform legislative, executive, and judicial functions within the Greek realm. In the tradition of Fraternus, its own beloved symbol, IFC encourages the well-rounded fraternity spirit. It presents awards for imagination in homecoming displays, scholarship in the academic field, and well-tuned voices in Inter-Fraternity sing. It also organizes the Community Project program in which each fraternity aids a civic or social welfare organization in the area. This year a new system of rush was initiated by the fraternities. Rush fall allowed men students other than first-term freshmen to visit and to pledge the in the houses. Introductory smokers gave freshmen the oppor­ tunity to become more acquainted with the fraternity system before winter rush began. IFC Executive Board members Tom Finch, Frank Girardin and John Hirsch interviewed many applicants for each of the Council chairmanships.

WOMEN’S INTER-RESIDENCE COUNCIL Appropriately called WIC, the Women’s Inter-resi­ dence Council is the light of active cooperation among the women’s residence halls. The residents of each hall elect a representative to the Council. Alleviating the bewilderment of new women students when they first arrive on campus is accomplished through WIC’s orientation program in the residence halls. The highlight of the year came spring term as WIC and MHA entertained the university representatives to the Big 10 Residence Hall conference held on campus. PRESIDENTS’ COUNCIL White tablecloths on a few tables in the dining room mean that the Presidents’ Council is visiting that par­ ticular residence hall. Twice a month the presidents of the women’s residence halls meet to have dinner and to hold business meetings. Discussion of mutual problems in the living units is the main order of business. Also the possibility of com­ munal projects is examined. The Presidents’ Council works closely with WIC in coordinating residence hall activity. It represents the viewpoint of coeds at Spartan Roundtable meetings.

This coordinating body is made up of elected general officers and the presi­ dents of the male living units on campus. In addition to formulating the general policy for the men’s residence halls, MHA sponsors social activities. Full-length motion pictures are featured every week. Dances in the lounges provide opportunities to socialize with the opposite sex. The spirit of friendly competition is encouraged dur­ ing homecoming with the halls vying for the display Intramural sports divide the residence halls trophies. into opposing sides as teams compete for championship recognition.
