Inquiries  and  accepted  applications 
for  admission  next  fall  seem  to  indicate 
that  there  will  be  a  still  larger  enroll 
ment 
this  coming  term  than  one  year 
ago.  Every  effort  is  being  put  forth  to 
try  to  solve  in  the  best  possible  manner 
the  many  problems  that  will  arise  in 
cennection  with  the  housing  of  both 
men  and  women  students.  We  hope 
earnestly  that  suitable  and  comfortable 
living  conditions  may  be  available  for 
all  incoming  students. 

The  college  realizes  its  responsibility 
in  replacing  home  environment  for  the 
period  of  the  student's  undergraduate 
life.  In  this  problem,  as  in  many  others, 
we  need  the help  of  alumni.  The  growth 
of  the  college,  the  service  which  it  can 
give  to  the  state,  and  our  hope  of  more 
generous  financial  support  by  way  of 
state  appropriations,  all  depend  upon 
the  willing  and  hearty  support  of  the 
alumni  of  Michigan  State. 

The  academic  year,  1935-36,  has  been 
a  very  busy  and  satisfactory  one  for 
Michigan  State  College.  The  great  in 
crease  in  enrollment  in  the  fall  of  1935 
—the  largest  yet  known—was  an  agree 
able  surprise,  even  though  meeting  the 
situation  required  extra  large  expendi 
tures  for  additions  to  staff.  We  are 
fortunate  in  having  been  spared  serious 
difficulties  in  the  form  of  accidents  or 
disasters,  and,  considering

number 
in  the  staff  and  the  student 
body,  the  hand  of  sorrow  has  been  laid

The 

largest  and  happiest  group  of 
alumni  and  former  students  with  their 
families  came  from  far  and  near  to  at 
tend  one  of  the  most  successful  Alumni 
Day  programs  ever  held  on  the  Michi

this  year  on  Saturday,  June  13,  was  a 
feature  of  Commencement  Week  held 
under  the  auspices  of  the  Alumni  Asso 
ciation. 
More 

former 
than  700  alumni  and 
students,  coming  from  more  than  twen

desk 
the  Union.  Scores  of  others 
were  too  busy  meeting  old  friends  and 
attending  meetings  to  leave  their  names 
and  addresses.  The  class  of  1911,  back 
for  its  25th  anniversary,  exceeded  all 
others  in  attendance.  The  eleveners  had 
109  people  at  their  luncheon  Saturday 
noon.  The  class  of  1916  was  second  with 
more  than  60  people  present  at  its  20th

with  President  Shaw  and 
the  State 
Board  as  hosts,  continued  to  be  an  im

women,  out  of  college  fifty  years  or 
more,  gathered  in  the  main  dining  room 
of  the  Union  and  were  welcomed  by 
President  Shaw  and  Clark  Brody,  '04, 
chairman  of 
the  State  Board.  During 
the  short  program  following  the  lunch

Nearly  one-half  of  the  student  body

Heads  Portland  Club 

The  students  of  today  seem  to  have  a 
their  ob 
more  definite  realization  of 
jectives 
to  college.  They 
in  coming 
their  studies  more  diligently, 
pursue 
and  they  have  an  awakened  interest  in 
the  social  and  economic  problems  of  the 
world.  These  facts  are  most  gratifying 
for  they  are  student  aspirations  without 
the  loss  of  the  genuine  high  spirits  which 
we associate with collegiate  age.  Rapidly 
changing  social  conditions  have  pre 
sented  new  problems  to  the  young  men 
and  women  of  today,  but  we  have  no 
doubt  as  to  their  ability  to  adjust  them 
selves.

Professor  Patton 

His  Specialty 

Is  Getting  You  To  Sing 

Alumni  who  attended 

the  annual 
Sunset  Supper,  June  13,  will  remember 
Professor  Fred  Patton,  head  of 
the 
voice  department  of  the  Michigan  State 
College  Music  School,  as  the  jovial  lead 
er  of  songs. 
In  addition  to  his  teaching 
duties  at  the  college,  Professor  Patton 
is  dean  of  the  slimmer  music-  camp  at 
Bay  View,  Michigan,  and 
frequently 
takes  time  to  appear  as  guest  artist  with 
leading  symphony  orchestras  and  opera 
companies. 

For  a  man  whose  entrance  into  opera 
was,  as  he  says,  "accidental,"  Patton 
has  attained  remarkable  heights.  Form 
erly  a  business  man,  friends  urged  him 
to  try  for  a  role  in  a  Cincinnati  opera. 
Patton  won  the  role  and  much  acclaim, 
and  within  a  short  time  after  his  first 
appearance  with 
the  Cincinnati  Sym 
phony,  he  appeared  with  the  Metropoli 
tan  Opera  Company  of  New  York,  one 
of 
the  highest  honors  attainable  by 
opera  singers. 

During 

the  past  season  Patton  ap 
peared  with  the  Cincinnati  Symphony, 
and  the  Pittsburgh  Mendelssohn  Choir. 
Other-  engagements  as  an  operatic,  ora 
torio,  and  concert  singer-  have  taken  him 
from  coast  to  coast.  He  has  more  than 
fifty  operatic  roles  in  iris  repertoire.

Coach  Bachman  Laying  Plans 
For  Fall  Campaign;  Members 
Of  Squad  Working  Hard 

Grass  is  growing  knee-deep  on  his 
toric  College  Field  and  only  the  feet 
of  summer  school  students  disturb  the 
calm  of  the  gymnasium,  but  behind  all 
this  calm,  preparations  are  being  made 
for  another  winning  season  in  football 
next  fall.

state,  and  Trainer  Jack  Heppinstall  is 
already  beginning  to  dust  off  some  of 
the  equipment  that  will  be  used. 

It  is  difficult  to  attempt  an  accurate 
estimate  of  the  squad  until  players  re

all  of  those  report  who  have  promised, 
the  team  may  again  prove  a  winner. 
Coach  Charles  Bachman  and  his  assist 
ants  were  well  satisfied  with  the  results 
of  the  spring  practice. 

Four  of  the  linemen  who  started  most 
of  the  games  and  two  of  the  backs  who 
two  years 
regularly  for 
have  played 
will  be  missing  next  fall.  Sidney  Wag

Buzolits,  South  Bend.,  Indiana,  tackle; 
and  Robert  Allmann,  Bay  City,  Michi

Indiana,  ends,  have  graduated.  Kurt

is  a  firm  believer 

the  alumni. 

It  is  possible  that  only  one  or  two 
sophomores  will  make 
the  grade  as 
starters  next  fall.  Steve  Szasz,  a  fine 
halfback  prospect  from  C h i c a g o, 
is 
rated  as  a  prospective  regular.  There 
are  a  number  of  sophomores  who  in 
leaner  years  might  have  stepped 
into 
regular  jobs,  but  the  prospect  is  that 
they  will  undergo  careful  training  be 
fore  they  win  starting  honors.  Walter 
Nelson,  a  giant  sophomore  from  Chicago, 
is  regarded  as  a  fine  end  prospect,  but 
it 
likely  he  will  displace  such 
letter  men  as  Frank  Gaines,  East  Lan 
sing,  Michigan,  Henry  Kutchins,  Ham-
tramck,  Michigan,  Bob  McComb,  Mus 

isn't 

kegon,  Michigan,  and  Milton  Lehn-
hardt,  Detroit,  Michigan. 

You  may  look  for  such  line  stalwarts 
as  Gordon  (Dolly)  Dahlgren,  Chicago, 
Illinois,  Howard  Zindel,  Grand  Rapids, 
Michigan,  Vincent  Vanderburg,  Mus 
kegon,  Michigan,  and  Julius  Sleder,  Tra 
verse  City,  Michigan,  to  help  maintain 
a  stiff  forward  wall  next  fall.  They 
will  have  Tom  Gortat,  M u s k e g o n, 
Michigan,  Nelson  Schrader,  Northville, 
Michigan,  Sam  Ketchman,  Battle  Creek, 
Michigan,  Howard  Swartz,  La  Grange, 
Illinois,  Harry  Speelman,  L a n s i n g, 
Michigan,  Gary  Blunt,  P o rt  H u r o n, 
Michigan,  and  several  others  g i v i ng 
them  a  run  for  their  jobs. 

Coach  Bachman  has  an  u n u s u a l ly 
large  assortment  of  freshmen  backfield 
men  coming  up,  and  the  prospects  are 
that  State's  ball  carriers  will  pack  more 
weight  in  the  next  couple  of  seasons. 
Usif  Haney,  from  Kingsport,  Tennessee, 
weighs  over  190  pounds  at  right  half 
back.  Gene  Ciolek,  M i c h i g an  City, 
Indiana,  at  left  halfback, 
is  over  130. 
George  Kovacich,  Pontiac,  Michigan,  at 
fullback,  goes  175  and  John  Pingel,  Bay 
City,  Michigan,  another 
left  halfback, 
weighs  180  pounds.  Bachman  has  been 
pleased  with  his  new  ball  carriers. 
They  appear  to  possess  talents  that  will 
make  State's  teams  strong  for  the  next 
three  years. 

When  you  return  for  games  next  fall, 
you  will  find  the  stadium  capable  of 
seating  30,000  instead  of  the  20,000  of

Draw  Capacity  Crowds 

"Bigger  and  better"  seemed  to  have 
been  the  slogan  of  the  Michigan  State 
College  military  band  during  its  seventh 
annual  spring  concert  season  under  the 
direction  of  Leonard  Falcone. 

Not  only  was  the  seventy-five  piece 
group  the  largest  on  record,  but 
the 
three  programs  offered  this  season  were 
judged  the  most  inspiring  of  any  others 
given  since  the  inauguration  of  outdoor 
concerts  seven  years  ago.  The  concerts 
were  given  on  May  13,  20,  and  27,  and 
presented  as  soloists  George  Cochrane, 
clarinetist;  Joseph  Evans,  pianist;  and 
Professor  Fred  Patton,  baritone.
