Activities Jeanne Bachelder, A.W.S. Judiciary-Legislative 13 Traditions M.S.C. has grown to unprecedented heights in the last few years with the addition of many more students, many more buildings, many more pro fessors, organizations, and friends . Yet with all this growth, we are becoming continually aware that much that is old has become so closely inte grated with our college life, that it would be im possible to tear them from M.S.C. Traditions . are among the old. Many started with the first fr eshman class and have been kept a live by succeeding classes. They're not written laws ... but they are a part of what makes M.S .C. your college, and they will add to the memories of your life here if you will share in carrying on these customs. HOWDY -Our college is known to have a friendly campus, and with good reason, for it is traditional here to say "Hello" to everyone, whether or not you're acquainted. Put out the old WELCOME mat for visiting F .F .A.'s, 4-H's, and visiting teachers . . . Public relations, you know! A smIle once in awhile won't hurt its recipient . .. or you . . . a bit! . WHAT'LL I WEAR? Sweaters and skirts are still "what the well dressed coed is wearing" on campus-that is for classes and those "grilling" hours. When k ept cleaned and pressed, a more appropriate out fit If winter breezes chill you to couldn't be had. the quick, dig out the slacks for that trek to South Campus. But beware .. . don't overdo it ! P re serving manhood in the stronger sex necessitates your remaining feminine . . Shorts? They're p ermitted, but only when worn · under a long coat. As for evening wear for college functions, don't forget, that even at home stockings and flats were 15 expected for concerts and the dra -mah! Shouldn't ~.S .C . rate the same? AB.OUT S~OKING . . . Not while you're walking across campus, please. You light up in the Union or in your dormitories, but in classrooms or on the sidewalks . . . it just ain't done. Old cigarette butts are not conductive to the growth of struggling grass, nor, for that matter, are your feet . So keep them on the walks ... both of them. 16 LOVE IS WHERE YOU FIND IT Twelve o'clock and all is well . . . that is, if you're his Mary, and he's your Johnny, and you've just concluded a happy evening with that midnight kiss in the shadows Of Beaumont Tower. It may not be love, but at least you'll never forget that it was Johnny who to the rank of "Official Coed of Michigan State College." initiated you Beware the engagement bench nearby, how ever, unless you're wearing that crystalized carbon It's not a rest stop on your third-finger-Ieft-hand. on your tiresome trip to the Library. If he takes the final plunge, and you find yourself a qualified squatter, then be prepared also for a tubbing from your dormmates. Everyone has a splashing good time . . . even you (?) Pinnings (besides rating a dunking, also) usually draw out the brothers to serenade you beneath your window. If you're the Fortunate Miss, don a white dress or robe . . . carry lighted candle in hand . . . and stand at the window. If on the other hand the serenade is for the whole house, show your appreciation by clapping . . . or better yet sing back. An engagement or pinning means another ser enading, also. Friends in the house should give forth with "I Love You Truly" for the betrothed, and "Sweetheart" for the pinned. SIS You'll call her "Big Sister" but she's really a friend. She'll be around when you have problems. Feel free to call upon her at anytime ... whether it's to find your way to the Union or South Cam pus or just to talk . . . she'll be there. Remember . . . she's not just an "Orientation Week Institu tion." 17 FOR MEN ONLY The fair female may have taken over just about everything else on campus, but the Smoke Shop remains the stronghold of the men. Don't let any one send you inside, for it's male territory with no exceptions. ' QUEEN FOR A DAY Do you yearn for honors? They can be yours at the 'PanHel, Blue Key, Co-op, Harvest, Home coming, J - Hop, and Coronation Dances, when a king and queen are elected from and by the stu dent body. And don't forget that there's no night more exciting every year than your own class dance. Whether it's a formal or informal affair, you'll enjoy whirling across the Auditorium floor at the J-Hop, Senior Prom, Frosh and Soph an nual dances. Programs go on your pin-up board and memories in your heart. CHANCE OF A LIFETIME Girls! Here's your chance to ask that Hand some Hank in your Effective Living class to a real dance without feeling embarrassed. S.W.L., Mor tar Board, and Tower Guard sponsor the Spinster's Spin, a winter formal dance, with coeds popping the question, calling for their dates, providing an appropriate corsage, and all the rest that goes with an evening of hilarious entertainment. Believe me, he'll bask in the fun of having you help him on with his coat, and revel in the delight of spending a free evening out with you. MUSIC AND MOONLIGHT Students dot the lawn, sitting on blankets and coats, the band shell lights UFl as twilight falls, and e'Veryone listens . . . for good music can be expected at the Fraternity and Sorority Sing. The 18 Sing Cup is the prize for the most effectively pre sented song, and the fraternity or· sorority whicb places first for three successive years, owns a fine · mantle ornament as a reward. ON THE FIFTY YARD LINE There you are all decked out in the colors for fall . . . green and white . . . in anticipation of a wonderful game. Your team sees you are there . . . let them hear you, too. Sing out good and loud at pep rallies and football games, and cheer with all your might. The Alma Mater (M.S.C. Shadows) and the Fight Song are State's own songs, so learn them quick like a bunny. Admitted we can't win every game, but Spartans always take the cake as good sports. OF LANTERNS AND MAY MORNING SINGS The first day of May finds coeds early ln the morning gathering in front of Beaumont Tower_ May Morning Sing is the timl:' for the tappmg of new members for sophomore and senior women's hon oraries. These honors are awarded on the basis of service, high marks, and extra-currictilaractiv ities, so a word to the wise, keep up and aim for those honors. A spectacular sight can be seen during senior week when women from all classes gather at twi light, light their lanterns, and wind across campus to a meeting place where graduating senior women will be honored. Those who have given out standing service to the college are recognized, and the new officers of A.W.S., Tower Guard, and Mortar Board are installed.
