» Let's Talk It Over « AS AN alumnus you take great pride in the progress of your college. You've been watching its educational expansion since 1857 when the first stu dent body, numbering 123, received in struction in Old College hall, now re placed by Beaumont Tower. That repre sents 80 years of growth during which time more than 10,000 men and women were graduated and more than 4,000 Short Course students received a liberal education to aid them in their careers as farmers, salesmen, accountants, engi neers, teachers, ministers, executives, and many other fruitful acti vities. chemists, Today your college enrollment is 4,627, representing twice as many students as were on the campus ten years ago. To operate and maintain a college which has made such rapid progressive strides in its enrollment and in its educational opportunities the State Board of Agri culture has about 50 cents today for each SI it had ten years ago. With an increased enrollment, de mands for greater educational facilities are more pronounced. This fact was recognized by Frank D. Fitzgerald, previous to his leaving the office as Gov ernor of the State of Michigan. In his message of transmittal to the members of the State Legislature he said: "I have recommended that the ap propriations for the University of Michi gan and the Michigan State College of Agriculture and Applied Science be granted as requested because these in stitutions, operated under separate con stitutional bodies and keeping their own detailed records of expense, are in a better position to estimate their needs than any other branch of State Govern ment. "Furthermore, they are operating eco nomically and efficiently. Due to the growth, in student attendance, which is particularly noted at the Michigan State College of Agriculture and Applied Science, their operating costs are rising and they are still feeling the effects of greatly decreased appropriations that occurred during recent years. The fore going statements apply in general, also, to the Michigan College of Mining and Technology, wThich enjoys a world-wide reputation in its particular field of edu cation.—Frank D. Fitzgerald, Governor of Michigan." Recently State B u d g et Director Thompson recommended to the legisla tive body Michigan State's request for 82,633,477.69 for maintenance and op eration during the fiscal year, 1937-1938.

Frosted Jack Frost's handicraft glitters in the early morning sun and surrounds the Administration building with a halo of translucent bushes and trees. The picturesque old building, which many of you will identify as the old library, now houses on the first floor the college treasurer's office, account ing division, registrar's office, purchas ing and stenographic departments. Up laboratory and stairs are the zoology lecture rooms. Thirty-seven men and women, giving counsel, working busily over typewrit ers, adding machines and zoological specimens, belie the seeming quietness outdoors.

C O L L E GE R E C O RD Pase 3 1937 Optimism Farmers Receive Encouraging Outlook For Marketing Of Produce This Year. MICHIGAN STATE'S Twenty-third Annual Farmers' Week attracted more than 35,000 rural folk who partici pated in a program of optimism toward agricultural security. They came from 71 Michigan counties and seven states outside of Michigan. That Michigan agriculture is well on the way out of the red, and toward a sounder basis, was the note of optimism struck by E. L. Anthony, dean of agri culture at Michigan State, and official college host to Farmers' Week visitors. To prove his statement, he pointed out the increase of Michigan rural income from 108 million dollars in 1932 to more than 200 million dollars in 1936. The latter figure represents a gain of 15 mil lion dollars over 1935. For six years lack of security has dominated agriculture in Michigan and other states, Dean Anthony asserted. Better financial returns in Michigan have brought more orderly thinking and act ing. "Michigan leads in developing a more permanent agriculture through its main tenance of more than a million acres of five alfalfa. In a long time program S. J. Marsdan, U. S. D. A. expert in turkey hus bandry, judges turkeys brought here by farmers during Farmers' Week. February 1 to 5. pointers indicate the way in which this state can continue its leadership." The first advice offered was to conserve, maintain, and im prove the fertility of the soil. Soil fertility is the backbone of farming capital, and is an inheritance which farmers re ceive and are morally obli gated to pass on to posterity. The second point stressed the growing of crops of high value. The trend in the state is already away from oats and timothy to such crops as soybeans, alfalfa, sugar beets and corn for silage. Emphasis was placed on livestock in the third consideration. An abundance of animals on farms is a principal part of a more permanent progress in farm ing. Business-like farming was urged. New markets should be sought, includ ing the selection and production of agri cultural products which can be turned into industrial use. The dean's fifth point advised farmers to be conscious of the dignity of agri culture as an industry. One of the best ways to make the industry secure is to. make the home the center of farm life and living. Mickey Cochrane, right, manager of the Detroit Tigers base ball team and an exhibitor at the 1937 Michigan State college Farmers' Week, inspects the Grand Champion steer. At his right is Sidney Smith, superintendent of the William E. Scripps farm, Lake Orion, Michigan, which exhibited the prize-winning animal. The Hon. Burr Lincoln, new commis sioner of agriculture, in his first official address to farmers of the state, assured them of the cooperation of the commis sion in finding new markets and new products. He emphasized that under his regulatory guidance the commission's powers would be subordinated to co operation in developing quality products and specialized markets for Michigan agriculture. More specific forecasts for Michigan agriculture included the outlook of R. V. Gunn, college agricultural economist. He offered encouragement to several major parts of the production program. The year, 1937, seems to offer especially the raisers of favorable markets sugar beets, fruit or truck garden eat ables, turkeys, hogs, cattle and sheep. for The feminine and social aspects of a progressive farm program were stressed by Miss Mildred Horton, vice-director and state extension agent at the Texas Agricultural and Mechanical college, in her talk on "Four Wishes." According the universally to Miss Horton, security, response, recognition and new experi ence were common wishes. "Every woman who plants a shrub, flower, or tree around her home, plants herself and her family in a home," said the speaker in emphasizing that a farm must be a place to live as well as a place to work. Page 4 A multitude of exhibits brought new champions. Lee D. Ferden, Chesaning, took the sweepstakes for seed corn com petition with a yellow dent variety which he developed. G. C. and L. G. Hutzler, father and son farmers on South Manitoux Isle, are the new navy bean sweepstakes champions. They are also known internationally for their produc tion of rosen rye pedigreed seed.

Foster, graduate of the University of Illinois, and now manager of the Lake- field farms at Clarkston, won first place. In a livestock judging contest, the win ning farmers' team was from Oakland county. Winners were Forest Brown and Wayne Carpenter of Clarkston, and Frank Williamson of Pontiac. The team was coached by K. D. Bailey, county agricultural agent. R. W.

Other winners included the rural com munity dramatists, the Edison-Speaker Parent-Teachers' association, from Sani lac county. Their play, "The Maker of Fine Laces," gave them the silk banner, making them the most outstanding in the final six groups selected from a total of 66 community drama casts scattered over the lower peninsula. Cortland grange, in Kent county, won first place in the grange singing contest. In poultry, the grand bird of the show was exhibited by Wesley A. Elliott, Ypsi- lanti. Charles Cramton, Ada, had the grand champion male turkey, and Glen Sprague, champion female turkey.

TWO thousand, six-hundred strong, the Independents on Michigan State and recognized „ , . „_ campus are now a powerful .. p a rt of the new "col lege life". Two years ago a group of stu dents unaffiliated with any organi zation, organized, the coope with ration of Dean Mitchell, the In dependent Men's l e a g u e. Dave Ruhe, Allentown, Pa., a n a t u r al leader, smiled when he told of its early struggles. Dave Ruhe '36 "Like most great movements our league had a lowly beginning," he modestly began. "Four or five of us felt the need of an social group offering representation in the life of the college. We mentioned it here, talked it over there, and soon we found it developing of its own accord. It grew rapidly and is continuing to grow." Independent's Ruhe, now a graduate, took care of the Independent's a t h l e t ic energies. Dividing East Lansing into zones, a system of intra-mural games was begun in which the the men competed honor of Independent champion in foot ball, basketball and baseball. for Constantly widening its scope, a more extensive plan of extra-curricular activ ities is in evidence this year. Fred Ar nold, Irvington, N. J., chairman of the league and its voice in college affairs, sponsors a social get-together whenever he can. These inexpensive dances end old man dollar-sign's threat of bank ruptcy to the men's social life. Closely allied with Arnold's division is the group headed by Laurence (Larry) Hamilton, Holly, Mich. Hamil ton, major in dramatics, has produced several plays in the last two years draw ing his talent entirely from the ranks of the Independents. Frequently Saturday afternoons the strains of "A Little Bit Independent" come over the air-waves of the college radio station, WKAR, and ushers in the Saturday matinee. This thirty-minute interesting by-product of show is an Paae 6 Hamilton's embryo stagers, who have succeeded, under the direction of Staley Haugh, Mason, Mich., in finding some promising talent. Of some 3,300 men enrolled at State only a few over 800 are members of fraternities. This rather startling figure shows the extent of the growth in num bers of the Independent's ranks. More than three-quarters of the male enroll ment are active or charter members of the league. in its opinions Today the league is an accepted group. Voicing the Student Council, active in other campus affairs, the organization appears to have a bright future. Its purpose is not a self- centered one. Ruhe has recently taken the first step to unite the Fraternity and Independent men by organizing a hockey group composed of two fraternity and two Independent teams. "We hope," says Ruhe, "that future years will find a complete absence of college cliques—through the efforts of the Independent Men's league." President Describes College Services (Continued to education, 20 per cent devoted extension and 15 per cent to research. from page 2) to On-campus educational service cen ters around the divisions of Agriculture, Engineering, Home Economics, Veteri nary Science, Applied Science and Liberal Arts. These six main divisions, each with its closely-allied branches, make available no less than 20 specific students may pursue. courses which Most of these courses are of a highly technical character and are not gener ally available in universities and col leges other than the land grant college type. The Graduate School, in which 172 were enrolled last year, offers special inducements to graduate students be cause of the greatly varied educational opportunities here and the continuous progress of research all year round. On- campus education includes the summer session as well, which in 1936 afforded to earn 796 students an opportunity advanced credit or make up credit deficiencies in the pleasantest kind of summer surroundings. We must like wise include short courses which were attended by more than 300 young peo ple last year, and conferences, which attracted to the campus more than J700 people. Off-campus educational work is car ried on mainly by the Extension Service with its staff of 57 subject matter specialists and administrative officers and 123 county, home demonstration and 4-H club agents. The wide scope of the work of this office is shown by the fact that, for example, there are county agents in 82 of the 83 counties of the state and that the young people enrolled in boys' and girls' club work number more than 30,000. We must include also among off- campus educational activities the (cam pus) radio station, which is owned and operated by the college and over which programs of information, instruction and entertainment are broadcast every week day. By means of the station, listeners all over the state hear campus athletic events, musical programs, discussion of farm and home problems by staff mem bers; even college classes broadcast direct from the classroom. Since we are so near the state capitol, it is pos sible also to invite state administrative officials to contribute to the programs by discussing topics of interest. them Off-campus education is carried on also by the Department of Publications, which edits the experiment station and extension bulletins each year and dis tributes in response to a wide demand. The department supplies as well an agricultural news service for more than 300 daily and weekly papers in the state, and sends general college, sport and home economics news to numerous papers and syndicates. The services which the Agricultural stations and Engineering experiment give are manifold. In 1935-36 the staffs of these two stations included 143 per sons, who spent all or part time in con The ducting more than 200 projects in progress that year related to the problems of agricul ture, industry and both the rural and urban home.

They are Mary Ellen Fritz, '37, Saginaw, and Elizabeth Wallace, '39, Bay Port. SHOULD you return to Michigan State campus today you would see a great deal of hustling and bustling on Michi gan avenue, north of the college hos pital. E n g i ne e r s, architects, steam shovels, and day laborers are moving here and there, with but one purpose— to complete the new women's dormitory by September 1, when 260 co-eds will live in mere at tractive and more comfortable quarters. The new building will be called Sarah Langdon Williams dormitory in honor of first the wife of Joseph R. Williams, the erection of the college. The State president of Board made this announcement as the Record was going to press. U-shaped, with the closed portion facing Lansing, the dormitory, whose architecture will be similar to that of Mary Mayo hall, will have one wing parallel with Michigan avenue and the other parallel with the campus drive. The building, complete with furnishings and equipment will cost approximately $475,- 000, and is being financed through bonds, amounting to $750,000, which includes $360,000 for refinancing Mary Mayo. Page 7 Altitude And Your Health Dr. Bandeen, This Subject "Popular Aviation" Magazine *J8, Discusses February's In . IF you have diabetes, don't be afraid to travel by air. Scientific research proclaims "that present day flight levels are entirely healthful, as well as in vigorating." This is the conclusion stated in the article, "Altitude and Your Health," by George Mack McKeown, in the Febru ary issue of Popular Aviation. His authority is Dr. Stanley Bandeen, na tionally recognized Louisville, Kentucky blood specialist, who was graduated from Michigan State in 1918. Science has already proved, Doctor Bandeen explained, that blood in the human body reacts to pressures just as a weather barometer does. During a storm period, when the barometric pres sure is exceedingly low, the blood con than tains more milligrams of sugar in clear weather. Considering this, many people have been of the opinion that flying in airplanes at high altitudes where the pressure is low would cause a decrease in oxygen content in their blood, thus bringing about physical ills and disorders. testing this theory. He Not long ago the physician began the task of is a booster of aviation, making trips by air whenever the opportunity arises, and to see and hear these "beliefs" caused him no concern. Finally he reasoned that the only way to answer these charges satisfactorily was to take trips by air, taking blood extractions along the routes at varying altitudes. little American Airlines' officials, learning of his intentions, offered the assistance of their stewardesses, all of whom are the way was registered nurses, and cleared for investigation. Doctor Bandeen made his first ex tractions on a trip from Camden, New Jersey, to Louisville, via Washington. He first drew blood at the Camden air port, at sea level. Seventy-six milli grams of sugar were registered. At 2,000 feet the content was increased 2 milli grams. At 6,000 feet, over the Alle- ghenies, his sugar content increased to 90 milligrams. This increase of 14 milli grams is not startling, in view of the fact that such an event as a thunder storm is known to have raised the sugar count in a person's blood as much as 45 milligrams. The physician not only gave his own blood, but also made his own analysis Page 8 to in his modern laboratory, witnessed by a group of prominent blood specialists from all parts of the nation. "My experiments seem indicate thought of air travel being that the harmful to sufferers of blood diseases is wholly without basis", said Doctor the Bureau of Air Bandeen. Navigation, of the Department of Com travel merce, prohibits commercial air at higher level, I than a 15,000 foot would say that the present flight levels "Since Courtesy Ziff-Davis Publishing company Dr. Bandeen, '18, Louisville, Kentucky, blood specialist, gives blood for experimental purposes to disprove the thought of air travel being harm ful to sufferers of blood diseases. are entirely healthful, as well as vigorating." in Doctor and Mrs. Bandeen (Nellie E. '19) have been in Louisville Bandeen, since leaving Michigan State college in 1919. He is prominent in medical circles, and at present is head of the Bandeen hospital, an enterprise of his own founding. Scientists Michigan State alumni gave nearly a the convention of dozen speeches at the American Association for the Ad vancement of Science, held in Atlantic City, N. J., December 28 to January 1.

However, the 300 members of the club do not manage the home; they confine their activities to lopping off boarding expenses. 30 Students Serve Four full-time cooks do the actual preparing of food for the club, but about 30 fellows are required to serve the 250 students every meal. These boys receive free board as payment, and they earn it. Sweeping, mopping, peeling potatoes, washing tables, dishes, pots and pans are these typical of students perform. the K.

"I don't mind though, someone has to do it, and we change off a lot, so we won't have the same job three or four years." They're not afraid to help each other, either, and even those who do not work regularly are able to sub stitute for a regular worker and thus earn many meals. Tickets for the meals are as cheap, if not cheaper than those in East Lansing restaurants. They may be bought in books for five dollars, with ten per cent to club members. There off for cash are about 300 tickets out, but 250 is the average number eating regularly. Meals cost from 15 to 30 cents a day. Here's Day's Consumption Normally, these boys consume three bushels of potatoes a meal, 90 gallons of milk, 24 to 32 double loaves of bread, 25 pounds of butter, six gallons of vegetables and fruit for side dishes, two bushels of cabbage for salad, and 128 pounds of meat a day.

And along with this comfort, service and entertainment, it is possible that a co-ed, after paying her fees at the be ginning of the term, need never leave the Union until the quarter ends. She can live in the Union dormitory, eat in the Union cafeteria, attend classes in the Union annex, and model or paint in the Art department which occupies the upper two floors of the annex. Her books and other school supplies might come from the Union desk, as might magazines and other things she desires. She might have her hair done in the Union barber shop, and receive her date in one of the Union lounges. She could have a coke at the Union Grill, study in the lounge, attend a dance Page 12 where campus organizations may trans act their business. Offices of the Michigan State News, bi-weekly student newspaper, and the Wolverine, college yearbook, are always hives of activity in the new annex. And back in the main lounge, the office of the Spartan, newly-born campus serio comic, is just beginning to buzz busily.

Miss Ef fie L. Ericson Describes Experiences In Spain I dodged bullets and ate stale bread in Barcelona. I saw mules shot and left to rot in the sun in the Plaza de Cata- luna. I watched airplanes bombing the last rebel barracks a few blocks from my pension. I saw smoke rising from burning churches all over the city." These and more were the experiences of Miss Effie L. Ericson, '30, teacher of Spanish in Lansing Eastern high school, while she was trapped in Barcelona at the outbreak of the Spanish Revolution last summer. "I had left my baggage at my pension in Barcelona," said Miss Ericson, "and had trip taken a four day walking through the Pyrenees by myself. I ran into a bus strike on the trip and found that quite exciting, little realizing what was in store for me. Upon arriving back in Barcelona I noticed people look ing at me suspiciously, but I thought it was part of the bus strike, so I spoke jokingly to my companions of the pos sibility of excitement. "At about four-thirty the next morn I ing I was awakened by shots, but thought it was some sort of celebration for the Olympic stars in the city at the time and went back to sleep. By six- thirty no one could sleep and we all collected in the hall. The Senora calmed our fears and told us that it would be over shortly. By eight or nine it still there wasn't over and we found that "We taxis, trains, was a general strike. There were no street cars, telegraphs, telephones.

I was the only English speaking person in the pen sion; previously we had merely nodded to each other at meal times, but sud denly we were drawn closely together; we realized that life was only one second long! the "The third day shooting had quieted enough to allow us to go out on the streets. The city was covered with a haze of smoke. All the churches ex cept the Cathedral had been burned, as they had been used as rebel forts and arsenals. Everything was going on at once: mules rotting in the sun; a priest killed near the pension left lying on his face; a woman with a new-born baby being carried fires; shouting; beautiful Barcelona wrecked! "I finally escaped from Barcelona by car through the help of a Spanish friend. It took us five and one-half hours to go 45 miles to Tosca, a fishing village on the Mediterranean coast. We were faced by guns and searched countless times. Three days after my arrival at Tosca I was taken from the village on a British destroyer to Marseilles.

All but two varsity records fell last year, and Daubert sees another new array of marks in prospect this year.

Coach VanAlstyne, who has returned winners in a majority of the years he has been at the helm, feared disaster would over take his club and his predictions were borne out as the campaign wore along. Loss of such players as "Bill" Cain, Maurice Buysse, Joseph Smith, Dan Reck and others had its effect early in the season, but Coach VanAlstyne thought his charges would improve as they gained experience. The squad faced one difficult assignment after another in quick succession and once having lost its balance after the Syracuse victory, never quite regained it. Ten hard games were played in 27 days, providing little time for rest, let alone the strenuous practice sessions that Coach VanAlstyne felt the team needed to perfect its play. The season started with a 32-22 vic tory over Albion. Michigan handed the Spartans their first defeat, 34-21, pull ing away in the second half after a hard fight in the first 20 minutes. State lost to Kentucky at Lexington, 28-21, defeat and came home to Kalamazoo college, 38-19. Going to Cleveland, the Spartans played games soundly Page 14 on successive nights. They lost to a surprisingly strong Case five, 38-34, and then came back to beat Geneva the next night, 42-41. Geneva later proved its calibre by defeating Long Island uni versity, the strong New York team. The Spartans avenged the earlier de feat at the hands of Kentucky by beat ing the Wildcats in a return game at East Lansing, 24-23. Struggling desperately, State was de feated by Marquette, 32-25, at home and then rallied superbly to defeat a strong Syracuse team, 36-30. The Spar tans were probably best against Syra cuse. Northwestern beat S t a te at Evanston handily, 44-25. The Hawaiian then All-Stars won here, 25-24, and Hope college came along to pour on a humiliating defeat, 25-21. The lineup, changed frequently, made little differ ence. Wisconsin won at Madison, 22-17, two and Butler won at nights later, 27-21. Indianapolis State lost to Butler university, 27-21, en Butler's court. Then followed two home games, University of Michigan winning, 38-31, and DePaul university defeating State, 23-21.

College Starts Collegium Musicum The Collegium Musicum, created this year by the music department, is the first of its kind in America. In the early part of the eighteenth century the im mortal German composer, Johann Bach, introduced at Leipzig the first musicum. Since then its popularity has lived with students of the universities of Germany and other European schools. The musicum series consists of a sequence of semi-public programs of music from the eighth to the eighteenth centuries. The programs are designed to to conform as nearly as possible conditions contemporary to the composi tions being rendered. Prior to each pro gram, held the Union alternating Sunday afternoons at 4 o'clock, a talk in Page 16 is given to explain the culture of the age being represented in the program. Following the music a discussion is held. Any questions concerning the music may be asked or anyone can request some number of the program to be repeated. The forums are led by Dr. Leonard Ellinwood, director of the musicum, who joined the music staff last September. Preceding original manuscripts and facsimiles of the music, together with other items connected with early performances of the composers, are exhibited in the col lege library. interesting program, each when he was a student at Michigan State. Following graduation he operated his own farm south of Grand Rapids.

M I C H I G AN S T A TE Pulse-Taker Ellis, ' 07 PROBABLY one of the most unique jobs in the country is that of George Henry Ellis, '07, who travels there here and taking the pulse of rivers. After gradu- f r om a t i ng Michigan State's civil e n g i n e e r ing school, Mr. Ellis became in- t e r e s t ed in h y d r o g r a p h y, the science of water measure ment.

George Ellis, '07 When he is suspended above the river, he lowers a water-meter, a small, pro- lead pellor-like affair weighted by a the "fish," to measure the velocity of current. He also measures the depth of the river bed at various spots. From these and other figures he determines the amount of water flowing beneath him. After he has "talked with the fish" and made his calculations, Mr. Ellis goes ashore for a conference with the company engineer to tell him how many kilowatts the power company should be able to squeeze from the tested stream, [f this amount does not correlate with what the company actually gets, that is another problem. Hydrographer Ellis entered the United States reclamation service in 1909 and remained until 1920 when he became associated with the Middle West Utili ties company. Later he became asso ciated with the Montana Power com pany, his present employer. . . .
