Chatting  About  Campus  Life 

Their  Discussion  Deals  With 
Various  Social  Activites  At 
M.  S. C. Today 

"What's  doing  these  days,  Jack?  About 
time  to  get  out  ycur  canoe  and  paddle 
up  the Red  Cedar?"  The  speaker  was 
Carl, an old grad  who  stopped  at the fra 
ternity  house  for the week-end.  He  and 
Jack,  one of  the  members,  were  stand 
ing  in  front  of  the  fireplace  chatting. 
"Yes,  it's  almost  warm  enough,"  said 
Jack. 
"Give  it  another  week,  however, 
and  the  river  will  be  full  of  canoes." 
"You  know,  I  don't  think  the old col 
lege  changes  so  much,"  Carl  remarked. 
"You  get  a  new  building  once  in  a 
while  and  the  fraternities  go  national, 
but  you still  do the same  things  we  did: 
Canoeing,  parties,  wiener 
roasts  at 
Pinetum.  You  have  more  parties  I 
guess.  We used  to have  just  four  dances 
a  year,  and  then  we  had  to  get  the 
girls  in  at  11 o'clock. 

Jack  laughed.  "We are  a  bit  better 
off,  but  we  have  to  take  the  co-eds 
back  to  the  dorms  and  sorority  houses 
at  12:30 week-end  nights." 

"What  I  have  been  wondering  about, 
Jack,  is  another  angle  to  this  problem 
of  social  life.  Does  the college  do  any 
thing  more  in  the line  of  social  activity 
than  it  used  to  do  for  us?  My  gosh, 
I'll  never  forget  when  I  was  a  fresh 
man  here.  Green?—Why  I  don't  b e 
lieve  I  dared  walk  down  the street  with 
a  girl  that  first  year. 
It  doesn't  seem 
as  if  the  college  did  anything  to  help 
us  get  acquainted,  much 
less  tell  us 
how  to do things." 

"I  guess 

they  do  try  to  emphasize 
that  part  of  college  now.  We  get 
acquainted  anyhow,"  commented  Jack. 
"When  you  live 
in  a  fraternity  or 
sorority  house  or  in  the dorm  it  is  easy

life  about 

to  meet  people  and  there  are  plenty 
of  chances  for  blind  dates.  Independents 
who  live  off  campus  find  it  harder  to 
get  around." 
"That's 

the  problem,"  Carl  agreed.

Jack  put another  log on the fire. "The 
isn't  solved  yet,  but  I  think 
problem 
we  are  getting  places. 
This  year, 
especially,  there  has been  more  talk and 
more  organization  aimed  at  giving  the 
independents  and off-campus  students  a 
chance  to  solve  their  social  problems." 
"What  do  you  mean  by  the  new In 
dependents'  organization?  I  heard  some 
thing  about  that.  And the dean  of  men, 
too?  Now,  those  seem 
like  additions 
I  would  have  liked  to  have  seen  when 
I  was  in  college."  Carl 
spoke  emphati 
cally. 

"Yes,  they  even  had a  dating  bureau 

at  one  of  the  parties  last  term." 

"They  did?  That  certainly  sounds in 

last 

teresting;  tell  me how it  all works." 
"Well,  things  began  to  happen 
fall  after  Dr.  F.  T.  Mitchell  was a p 
pointed  dean  of  men.  A  man  can see 
Dean  Mitchell  any  time  and  get  help 
on  his  personal  problems,  and  men's 
organizations  go to  him.  I  was  talking 
to  Doctor  Mitchell  the  other  day  about 
what  he had to  do as  dean  and he was 
telling  me  about  a  fellow  who  asked 
about  a  "tux."  Of  course  he  didn't  tell 
me  his name. 
It  seems  this  fellow  had 
never  been  at  a  formal  dance,  because 
he  hadn't  been  able  to  afford  it.  Now 
he  suddenly  decided  to  attend  some  of 
the  parties  and  wanted  Dean  Mitchell 
to  tell  him  whether  to  buy  a  dinner 
jacket  or  tails  and  after 
that  how  to 
act  at  the  party.  Mitchell  asked  him 
why  he didn't  ask his fraternity  brothers 
about  it  and  the  fellow  said  he  was 
ashamed  to  because  they  would 
laugh 
at  him.  I  can see how that  would  be, 
all  right.  There  has  to  be  someone  a 
fellow  can  talk  to  when  he  is  stuck. 
"You  know  the  girls  have  Dean  Elisa 
beth  Conrad  to  whom  they  may go for 
advice,"  Jack  continued. 

"Besides  more  of  the  girls  are  in 
dorms  where  they  have  a  chance  to see 
how  to  do things  socially  anyway,  even 
if  it  isn't  forced  on  them.  They  have 
house  mothers  in  their  sorority  houses 
too.  But  we  are  getting  there.  One 
of  the  fraternities  got  a  house  mother 
this  year,  and we  are talking  about  it." 
"That  sounds 
good,"  he  said.  "If  you  had  a  house 
mother  you  could  entertain  girls  in the 
living 
couldn't 
you?"

The  Oldest  Living  Graduate 

Presenting  Daniel  M.  Strange, 

Class  Of  1867;  Says  He'll  Be 

At  Founders'  Day  May  15 

Daniel  M.  Strange,  Grand  Ledge, 
Michigan,  who  was  graduated  as  one  of 
'67, 
the  five  members  of  the  class  of 
ten  years  after  the  founding  of  Michigan 
State  College  in  1857,  is  hoping  to  wit 
ness  the  celebration  of  Founders'  Day, 
May  15,  on  the  campus. 

His  91st  birthday  wasn't  a  major  event 
for  Mr.  Strange,  who  was  born  March 
4,  1845,  and  is  the  oldest  living  grad 
uate  of  the  college.  Although  he  has 
been  seriously  ill,  he  is  now  recovering 
rapidly. 

"I'm  going  to  hang  onto  this  a  while 

longer,"  he  declared. 

He  was  referring

After  his  death,  his  son,  Frank  Kedzie,

The  third  factor  in  the  more  complete 
development  of  the  college  was  the  or 
ganization 
in  1895  of  the  Home  Eco

much  to  improve  conditions  of  home  liv

the  state.  Although  study  of  science 
had  been  basic  from 
the  very  begin

One  of  the  former  faculty  members 
of  Michigan  State  College,  and  a  resi 
dent  of  East  Lansing  for  fifty-two  years, 
to  whose  home  many  graduates  made 
annual  visits,  will  be  missed  when 
alumni  gather  for  reunions  in  June.  She 
is  Mrs.  Ella  M.  Kedzie,  who  died  last 
fall  after  several  years  of  ill  health. 

Mrs.  Kedzie  was  the  sister-in-law  of 
Dr.  Frank  Kedzie,  former  president  of 
the  college.  Her  two  children,'  Dr.  W. 
Roscoe  Kedzie,  of  Eaton  Rapids,  and 
Mrs.  Louis  S.  Plant,  of  East  Lansing,  are 
alumni  of  Michigan  State  College. 

Mrs.  Kedzie  was  a  graduate  of  Kan

In  1876 she  was  married 
her  birthplace. 
to  William  S.  Kedzie,  professor  of 
chemistry  at  that  college,  who  later  be 
came  a  member  of  the  Oberlin  College 
staff.  Following  the  death  of  her  hus 
band  she  became  head  of  the  Art  De

of  Education,  died  February  15,  in  the 
Georgetown  University  Hospital.  Mr. 
Maltby  was  a  resident  of  Ballston,  Vir

teacher, 
supervisor,  administrator,  and  Federal 
agent  in  the  development  of  vocational 
education  programs  since  1906. 
Shortly  after  his  graduation 

from

career  as  a  member  of 
the  staff  of 
the  Baron  de  Birsch  School,  of  New 
Jersey. 
In  1910  he  became  head  of  the 
department  of  Animal  Husbandry  at  the 
University  of  Florida.  Subsequently  his 
work  took  him  to  South  Jersey  and  then 
to  Georgia  where  he  organized  the  first 
vocational  program  in  that  state. 

There  has  been  no  specific  attempt 
to  organize  a  Liberal  Arts  school  within

seems  to  me  that  just  the  last  year  or 
two  the  faculty  members  have  shown 
more  interest  in  meeting  the  students 
and  seeing  that  the  students  participate 
in  social  activities.  Secretary  Hannah 
presented  it  to  the  students  quite  clearly 
when  he  gave  his  talk  on  the  Mortar 
Board  social  series.  Here,  Carl,  read 
this  quotation  in  the  State  News  before 
you  leave." 

"  'If  you  have  not  acquired  the  ability 
to  feel  at  home  among  people  of  refine 
ment  by  the  end  of  your  college  course, 
it  has  been  practically  valueless  to  you, 
no  matter  how  much  knowledge  you 
may  have  acquired  otherwise,"  Carl 
read.  "That  was  my  idea  exactly,"  Carl 
commented.  "And  that  was  why  I  asked 
you  about  the  social  life  at  Michigan 
State.  Sometimes  an  old  grad  wonders 
what  is  going  on  at  his  Alma  Mater."

Keen  Competition  At  State 

Never 

in  the  history  of  the  college 
has  there  been  such  a  huge  turnout  for 
spring  sports  as  has  greeted  the  coach 
ing  staff  this  year.  The  increased  en 
rollment  has  resulted 
in  record  num 
bers  of  athletes  trying  out  for  the  various 
teams. 

This  year  there  are  varsity  teams  in 
baseball,  track  and  field,  golf  and  tennis. 
Schedules  call  for  the  teams  to  meet  the 
stiffest  competition  that  can  be  found 
in the  middle  west  and  east.  In  addition, 
Athletic  Director  Ralph  H.  Young 
is 
carrying  on  a  comprehensive  program 
for  freshmen.  Any  student  at  the  col 
lege  who  desires  to  participate  in  athle 
tics  finds  many  outlets  for  his  energy.

winning  stride. 

Coach  Young  has  another  strong  list 
of  candidates  for  his 
track  and  field 
team.  The  Spartans  produced  a  dual 
meeting  victory  over  Marquette  indoors 
in  the  late  stages  of  the  winter,  won  a

conditions  that  prevailed  last  winter,  it 
has  been  impossible  to  put  the  new  track

The  death  of  Roy  M.  Hodges  on  April  ?,  in 
the  prime  of  an  engineering  career,  came  as 
an  unexpected  shock  to  his  many  friends.  He 
had  been  ill  a  short  time  with  pneumonia.  Mr. 
Hodges  had  been  road  engineer 
for  Calhoun 
County  since  1926.  He  was  well  known  and 
admired 
the  state  by  county  road 
and  other  engineers  not  only  for  his  splendid 
personal  qualities  but  for  his  ability  as  a  high 
way  engineer.  He  gave  to  Calhoun  County  the 
highest  type  of  engineering  efficiency.  A  member 
of  119th  Field  Artillery,  32nd  Division,  Mr.  Hodges 
saw  active  service  in  France.  He  is  survived  by
