It is vested with the complete control of Michigan State college. Its powers and duties are similar in every respect to those of the Board of Regents that controls the University of Michigan. The Supreme Court of the State has repeatedly ruled that these two constitutional corporations rank on a par with the state legislature. The legislature appropriates funds for the use of Michigan State college and the sole control of their expenditure rests with the State Board of Agriculture. It controls all the properties of the institution, determines funda mental policies, etc. The six members are electel to serve six-year terms—two members being elected at each biennial spring election. to the 12,000 P R E S I D E NT SHAW needs no introduction alumni of Michigan State college. As a member of the State Board of Agriculture, he serves as the presiding officer. In 1902 President Shaw came to Michigan State college. Previous to his becoming President in 1928 he was Professor of Agriculture and Superintendent of the College Farm, Dean of Agriculture and Director of the Experiment station. Prior to his arrival on the State campus he was Professor of Agri culture at the Montana Agricultural college. Dr. Shaw received his B.

IN THIS STORY YOU'LL DISCOVER REGISTRATION LORE, TOO traveling? L IKE Of course, you do, and so does Miss Elida Yakeley, college regis trar, who at this moment is traveling somewhere near or in Hongkong, an island off the southeast coast of China and more commonly known as one of the great marts of the world. Miss Yakeley left Michigan State col lege campus on November 9 for Los Angeles where she began her 30,000 mile tour of some of the most interest ing and picturesque countries the Eastern hemisphere. in Sailing from Los Angeles for Hono lulu, Miss Yakeley spent four days on the Hawaiian Islands before embarking for Hongkong and the war-torn city of Shanghai. Following six days in Hongkong, the College Registrar heads for Saigon, French Indo-China, to spend two days, following which she goes to Angkor-Vat for five days to visit many of the historic the old sites, among which will be temples for which the city is noted. Miss Yakeley will visit the Temple of Angkor-Vat, one of the best preserved examples of Khmer architecture. Probably one of the most interesting experiences on her trip will be her visit at Bangkok, the capital city of Siam. Jdintoti Acting While Miss Yakeley is on a six months' leave of absence, R. S. Linton, associate professor and assume registrar, will assistant her responsibilities in the office. to the registrar's Professor Linton became assist ant registrar in August, 1937. He came office from the department of education where he was associate professor. Mr. Linton, who was graduated from Michigan State college in 1916, began his career as a teacher in the Owosso high school where he taught agriculture until 1924 when he returned to State as a critic teacher in education. there she travels to Batavia, Java, then to Bali to spend eleven days, before her departure for Sydney, Australia. Fol lowing her visit to Sydney she sails for scenic New Zealand, a distance of 1,400 miles, to spend eight days before her homeward journey by way of the Fiji Islands, Honolulu, Vancouver, and East Lansing. W H I LE on the 30,000 mile jaunt around the world Miss Yakeley will visit acquaintances living near or in cities through which she passes. Among these are Miss Emma Garrison who teaches in a girls' school at Honolulu, Lieut. Colonel William B. Frazier, '09, and his wife, Shirley Gardner, '09, sister of Director Gardner, head of the Experi mental Station at Michigan State col lege. At Tokyo, Miss Yakeley will visit Carl Boehringer, '25. Mr. Boehringer is with the United States Department of Com merce at Tokyo. She will also visit Shu-Tei Shu, at present a food inspector at Shanghai, China. Miss Yakeley, on a six months' leave of absence from her duties as college registrar, began her activities at Michi- ang State college as secretary to Presi dent Snyder in 1903. And to this day she has the distinction of being the only full- time registrar Michigan State college has ever had. During her absence R. S. Lin ton, associate professor and assistant registrar, will be the acting head. In the early days of registration, stu dents were admitted by the president. Miss Yakeley well remembers seeing graduates of high schools coming to the campus, diploma in hand, seeking en trance to a four-year college course. At that time it was possible for students to take a five-year course on presenta tion of an eighth grade certificate. In the that case the first year's work at college consisted primarily of English, mathematics, physics, and shop work and a few other allied subjects. In the second year the student was in a posi four-year tion course. to begin regular the B. A.

Enrolling at Michigan State this fall, Singkata Tong- yai, son of Prince Tong Tiokayou, of Bangkok, Siam, told Miss Yakeley to be sure to visit his parents. Mr. Tong- yai lives at Mason hall on the campus. Before Miss Yakeley's departure she described rather vividly some of the interesting places she plans to visit in the City of Bangkok. She spoke of the beautiful the numerous temples, glittering with gilding and terminating in lofty spires. She spoke of the Menam river as extremely picturesque, and of numerous floating houses, in fact the whole city, with its rich gardens and shining temples which can be seen in full view. to Bangkok up the approach palaces; of temples, Following Miss Yakeley's visit travels at Bangkok she to Singapore, a small island and strongly fortified sea port city.

Can what be true? Michigan State's building program— an undertaking that's no longer a vision but a $6,000,000 reality, for come next Alumni Day nine additional new build ings will be completed or will be near- ing completion.

No, Abbot hall will not be razed for a few years, at least. Its location was considered for the auditorium, but many students as well as alumni urged that it be spared. Sentiment, it seems, has a place even in a $6,000,000 building program. But to move on across the Red Cedar B UT we can't spend more time at the athletic plant, for there's much to be (now Just east of Morrill hall seen. used as the Liberal Arts building and not a women's dormitory), you'll see the $250,000 Olin Memorial Hospital and Health center. No one who has attended State in recent years need be reminded of the college's need for a new health center. Remember the orchard to the east of the Horticulture building? the I N oT an apple orchard now, but site of Mason and Abbot halls, home of nearly 1,000 men, this part of the campus you'll find hardest to believe is really Michigan State. With dormi tories costing more than $1,000,000 and landscaped to the Red Cedar river, the just a few years east campus which ago was part of the college farms is now as attractive as Beaumont Tower's beautiful setting. Highlight of the entire building pro gram is the $750,000 auditorium, which you'll find just south of the Veterinary Science clinic and north of the river east of Farm Lane. Most needed of all the new build ings except the hospital, the spacious auditorium will have seating capacity of 6,200 persons, 5,500 in the main audi torium and 700 in a Little Theater opening off one central stage. The D e p a r t m e nt of Speech and Dramatics will have offices in one of the wings, and above the main entrance will be modern studios for the college radio station, WKAR. That white structure just west of the auditorium is not part of the building program, but you may not have seen it. That's the band shell, in part a gift to the college from the Class of '37. the Red Cedar, we find just west of the Dairy barn a live stock pavilion being built at a cost of $93,000, to be used by the college and Michigan for ex hibits, sales and meetings.

Two women's dormitories, Williams and Mayo, and Mason hall for men, were financed by self-liquidating bond issues, to be retired from building in come for 20-year periods. New Abbot hall and the third women's dormitory were constructed with PWA aid and 20-year self-liquidating bond issues. The auditorium and men's gymnasium were financed with PWA grants and self-liquidating bond issues to be re tired from student activity and athletic fees. A similar arrangement was ef fected for the music practice building, and health fees and PWA aid will de fray the hospital's cost. Total cost of the building program is $6,012,770. PWA grants total $1,429,- 470. The WPA portion is $1,350,000. Actual cost to the State of Michigan figure—is repeat an important —to $142,150. "Then State has solved her building problem," you say. Unfortunately, the answer is no. to You forget what has happened enrollment figures in the past 10 years. If you'll stop at the registrar's office just a moment you'll learn that State's enrollment increased from 3,939 differ ent students in 1930 to a total of 6,351 different school year. in 1937-38 students in the fall T OU'LL further learn that State's en term, 1938, was rollment 5,893, an increase of 681 over the fall term of 1937. There were 2,205 new students on the campus in the fall of '38—many of you remember when the that total enrollment was well below figure. Now stop across the hall in the Ad ministration building and talk to Sec retary John A. Hannah. Here's what you'll learn: "Although the building program will relieve housing congestion and improve hospital facilities, the program does not permit construction of classroom and laboratory buildings. Construction is to buildings limited almost entirely through which may be self-financed building income or student fees. "The need for state-financed build ings to provide for the rapidly growing student body at Michigan State college is nearly as great as ever." Paradoxical though it seems, State's need for m o re b u i l d i n gs becomes greater as the most extensive building program in her history gets under way.

Editor's Note: This is the fourth of a series of articles dealing with the six divisions of study In the next issue of at Michigan State college. the Record an article on the Division x>f Applied Science will be published. T HE veterinary division at Michi gan State college was established as a result of an act of the legis lature, Public Act No. 97, May 22, 1907. The State Board of Agriculture, by action taken on October 21, 1909, de cided to inaugurate a veterinary cur riculum leading to the degree, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. The first grad uate, Dr. Louis A. Wileden, of Mason, received the degree in 1913. The total number of graduates during the ensuing two decades, including 1933, was 160, about an average of eight. From 1934 to 1938 inclusive, the number of grad uates has been 117, about an average of 23. The enrollment for term is: first-year, 54; pre-veterinary, 79; second-year, 62; third-year, 58; fourth- year, 33, a total of 286. this The growth of the veterinary student than body, after a period of more twenty years of incubation, has been phenomenal during the past few years. Instruction in veterinary science has been given to agricultural students at Michigan State college, as in the case of nearly all the land grant colleges, from the early days of the college his tory, but the establishment of a cur riculum leading to the doctors degree was delayed until about 25 years ago. / \T first the course was like the other college courses, one of four years.

This action has resulted in the exclusion of all applicants from the nine other states that maintain veterinary colleges.

So we find that a stroll through this new type men's housing project, where 438 men students are enjoying modern ism at low cost in attending a modern institution, shows up all the problems of everyday life, including whether a young man will use a laundry and like it, whether 438 companions can lead to lonesomeness and homesickness. Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Beachum as resident manager and hostess, have succeeded in ironing out nearly all of the preliminary problems. Organization of the little village of Stevens T.

One counselor at large C O L L E GE R E C O RD . .. 9 and two underclassmen as representa tives from each precinct make up a Grand Council of 28 which meets each Wednesday night for master minding. Costs were estimated before school opened. Dean Fred T. Mitchell and Ron Heath, housing director, worked with Beachum in stipulating that rooms would be $3 a week for half a double room, six single rooms rented at 50 cents a week extra. Charges for meals total $5.50 each week for a total of 20 meals. Late breakfast and late dinner on Sunday mean only two meals.

Beachum and his wife thought they knew something about dormitory food service. They had operated North hall, girls' dormitory. But the volume of food consumed by the boys amazes them. Because board charges are 25 cents less a week than those the Beachums assessed the girls, a different selection of food has been necessary. food "Don't worry about whether the boys are getting what they like to eat," says Mrs. Beachum.

FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO KEEP ON STATE'S ATHLETICS INFORMED the Despite three reverses Coach Char ley Bachman called the team the best he had coached at Mich igan State.

The Wolverines flashed strength in all departments and earned a victory. A bit better luck might have yielded scoring plays for State, but a victory was not in the books this year. State 18, Illinois Wesleyan 0 Coach Bachman made free use of his reserve forces in this game and State moved past the "post-Michigan" Satur day with a victory over a rather weak 1. W. team. State 26, West Virginia 0 Those who saw this game saw State at the peak of its power for the season. Paul Griffeth blocked a punt and Act ing Captain Dave Diehl turned it into a touchdown. Johnny Pingel scored from the one-yard line and late in the game Diehl scored again on an intercepted pass. Eddie Pearce ran a second enemy pass back for a fourth touchdown. Michigan State 19, Syracuse 12 The Spartans delighted the alumni homecomers with a victory over an Orange eleven that had beaten unde feated Cornell the Saturday before. Johnny Pingel passed to Nelson for the first tiuchdown and ran for two more in the fourth quarter from outside the 20-yard line. Syracuse never headed State in this game. It was the most satis fying victory of the year. Michigan State 6, Santa Clara 7 A heart-breaker if there ever was one! Going against the undefeated Bronocs, State scored in the first period after a march, with Pingel plunging the touchdown. Les Bruckner missed his only point conversion of the year and it cost the game. Santa Clara blocked Casey Klewicki's punt second period and a Bronco player caught the ball on the fly and went for the touch down. State played superbly against the west coast team. in the for Michigan State 0, Missouri 6 This was State's first defeat in three games with the Tigers.

State stood off two Temple at tacks inside the five-yard line. Coach Charley Bachman will lose an entire football team next June.

Gene Ciolek was lest for the campaign when hurt in the West Virginia game. Ole Nelson, pass catcher de luxe and a key man in many Spartan victories in games for two years, was lost in the Santa Clara game, and Johnny Budinski and Steve Szasz, right halfbacks, also played their last football of the season in the Santa Clara game. Paul Derrick- son, sophomore fullback, never played after the West Virginia game. The annual football "bust" which the alumni will stage the night of Decem ber 10 is an event that looms large on the athletic calendar. Star high school players and their coaches will be invited to attend the banquet as in past years. This is annually the last football event cf the year.

Based on six years of study in cooperation with the Office of Education, Washington, D. C, the new curriculum will provide for the freshman year and will emphasize five important student problems: social adjustment, academic standing, vocation, personal appearance, and wise financial management. in home economics less specialization in New sections for freshmen will be opened in health and nutrition and in use of money to help first-year home eco nomics students with personal problems. HAIRDRESS Whether to put the hair up and be dignified or let it down and be yourself is the most discussed and most written about question of today's women. So Winifred Washburn, instructor in textiles and clothing, they asked a number of Michigan- State coeds what stand would take on the subject. The upward sweeping hairline was definitely swept out of the classroom by the great majority of home economics students. Why? Because the high coiffure demands more care and attention than the busy college woman has time to give it. Therefore it is abandoned for the more easily combed, natural hairdress. But when evening comes, then the college girl round about faces. When the smart young lady has a date she aims to look very feminine and appealingly dependent. She gives the Edwardian hairdress a place in the modern set-up. DR. MARTIN Director of the new regional poultry research laboratory now under construction at Michigan State college is Dr. J. Holmes Martin from the University of Kentucky, it was an nounced in Washington. The construction program is being rushed to completion by January 1 so that research can be started. Twenty-five states, including Michigan, will share in results from the federal project. Research will attempt to find causes of poultry mortality which cuts into profits of farm management. Fowl paralysis, believed to be one of the worst offenders, is to be one of the principal studies of Dr. Martin's staff. The laboratory is being constructed on a 50 acre site donated for the project by Michigan State college. The site is near the intersection of Harrison and Mount Hope roads, southwest of the campus. SCHOLARSHIPS Stimulation for attendance in the annual winter short courses in agriculture at Michigan State college is guaranteed this year through an announcement of the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, Battle Creek. The foundation is to offer 120 scholarships to young men and women in Allegan, Barry and Eaton counties.
