G. *7S two than More thousand men and women, all veterans of World War II, are enrolled at Michigan State College for the winter quarter. They come from country, village, town, and city, and most of them are residents of Michigan. They represent all branches of the serv ice and many of them have fought in foreign lands. They are young, incred two years, ibly young to have spent three years, on battlefronts around the world. Approximately 30 per cent of the veterans attending Michigan State are married, and most of them have their families with them. They live modestly, very modestly, on the $90 a month they receive from the government under the so-called G.I. Bill of Rights (single men are allowed $65 a month). The govern tuition and school ment also provides supplies up to $500. All available facilities are being con verted into living quarters and adminis tration offices to handle as efficiently as possible the matriculation of World War II veterans. of returning In doing everything possible for the convenience veterans, Demonstration Hall has been converted into headquarters for servicemen. The Office of Veterans' Affairs has been moved into the building, and a central ized office for handling enrollment, coun seling and testing, and accounting will be maintained there. John Pingel, assistant football coach, and Charles N. McCarty, assistant pro fessor of chemistry, both of whom are World War II veterans, have been made assistants to Mr. King in the Office of Veterans' Affairs. With the opening of the winter term, women students who had been living in Abbot Hall, men's dormitory, during the war when the male enrollment was de pleted, were asked to double up with girls in Mary Mayo, Campbell, living Mason, and Williams dormitories. This move provides space for 650 veterans in Abbot Hall. An intensive campaign for additional rooms for war veterans returning to the campus was launched in December by the college in cooperation with the Wom en's Society of Peoples Church. A sys tematic canvass was made of East Lan sing homes in search of rooms for 600 ex-servicemen. Ministers of Lansing and East Lansing appealed to their congrega tions to help in the emergency by renting spare rooms on a one-month to six-month basis. Rooms for 250 were found. Carl G. Card, mayor of East Lansing, declared, "I feel that East Lansing has; a group of citizens that will respond tqf President John A. Hannah talks over a problem with two veterans enrolled at M.S.C..

It is my belief that here is as worthy a cause as any for which we have made an appeal. I cannot help but the people of East Lansing feel will come forward at time with this to help our returning veterans." offers While permanent quarters are being arranged fieldhouse- the Jenison gymnasium is being used temporarily to incoming veterans. Double-deck house in the gym beds have been for nasium veterans. The third and fourth floors of the Union Memorial Building also have been converted to veteran use. With the discontinuation of the Army Specialized Training Reserve Program at Michigan State on January 26, rooms for 250 addi tional veterans were made available in Wells Halls, which had been used by Army trainees. living quarters to provide installed At its meeting on December 20, the State Board of Agriculture, governing body of the college, approved the acqui sition of 52 Quonset huts, of the type used by the armed services. Each will accommodate 12 veterans. The huts will be placed on the parade grounds opposite 257939 the State Police Headquarters on South Harrison road, and it is hoped they will be assembled and ready for occupancy by term. An the opening of additional fifty Quonset huts may be pur chased later for the use of veterans. the spring Permanent housing for veterans and their families will be provided by the college as soon as possible. Work has begun on a 106-apartment building at South Harrison Road and Shaw Lane. In the meantime, 400 trailers, brought to the campus from Benton Harbor, Adrian, Jackson, and Pontiac, are being set up on a 30-acre tract on the west side of South Harrison Road at Kalamazoo Street. College officials expected 200 of them to be ready for occupancy by Janu for ary 1, but shortage of materials service houses at the camp delayed the work. Fifty veterans and their families occupy trailers in Lansing. While trailer life admittedly is not as the young it might be, desirable as couples get all the living they can out of their new homes. A spirit of neigh- borliness prevails and there is the usual trading back and forth of two eggs or half-a-cup of flour that goes on among good neighbors everywhere.

War veterans en rolled numbered 2,056. By the close of official registration at noon on Saturday, January 5, a total of late 6,892 students had enrolled and registrations the following week were expected to swell the enrollment to well above the 7,000 mark. Highest previous enrollment was in the fall of 1940, when 6,776 full-time and 190 short course stu dents were enrolled. As of January 5, 3,043 women, 3,340 men, 207 Army trainees, and 302 short course students were enrolled. During the fall quarter of 1945, 5,706 students— 1,793 men, 3,488 women, 320 Army train ees, and 105 short course students— received training on the Michigan State campus. When this issue of The Record went to press no figures were yet available on the number of Lansing and East Lan sing residents attending night classes. It was believed that some of the 36 eve ning courses and seven Saturday morn ing courses would be of interest to local residents. Forty women students who were late in applying for admission to M.S.C. for winter term have been housed tempor arily on the fourth floor of the Student Union Building. Girls who had occupied Abbot Hall, men's dormitory, during the war years, have doubled up with other women students in the women's dormi tories. As the new term opened, 425 applica tions had been received from war vet erans for the house ti'ailers being set up on the south campus. It was hoped that the trailers would be ready for occu pancy within a short time. M.S.C. has added several courses of special interest to veterans. Record Has New Editor With this issue of The Record, R. W. Wild, news editor in the Department of Public Relations, assumes the editorship after serving as associate editor during the past year. He succeeds Lloyd H. Geil, editor since 1935. At the December meeting of the State Board of Agriculture, governing body of Michigan State College, the name of the Department of Publications was changed to the Department of Public Relations, with Mr. Geil as director.

Getting an education is a serious business to these veterans and others like them. Still, they find time for extra-curricular activities such as athletics, student council, dramatics, and fraternities. By and large, veterans receive better grades than the average student. This Mr. King attributes to their social—not chronological — maturity, necessarily their desire for an education, and their willingness to make the best use of their time.

Campus Landmarks Are Replaced by New Dormitories Michigan State College, one of the old est land grant colleges and the first insti tution established in the United States for study of the science of agricul ture, was founded ninety years ago. Two years later, in 1857, four brick cottages were erected for the use of the president and three professors, bringing the num ber of campus buildings to seven. The other buildings were College Hall, a dor mitory affectionately known by early students as "Saints Rest," and a small brick barn. Of the seven, only two of the four faculty homes remain today. Last month two of them were torn down to make room for an $800,000 dormitory for wom en students. Several other residences along Faculty Row, dating from about 1870, will be razed later when construc tion of additional dormitories gets under way. Many changes have taken place on the campus since the college first opened its doors. Charles Jay Monroe, a student from 1857 to 1860 and later a member of the State Board of Agriculture, col lege governing body, made the following observation, as quoted in Beal's "His tory of the Michigan Agricultural Col lege": "The College, when I first saw it May 10, 1857, consisted of a tract of mainly timber land without an acre fully cleared. A few acres had been slashed down and the logs and brush cleared. On every hand were old stubs and partially burned trees. The fire had scorched the timber next to the clearing, so that at every point of the compass to which you turned you beheld dead and blackened trees which presented a most desolate scene. "The road from the College to Lower Lansing was fairly good, judged by the road standard of those days. Lansing consisted of three parts, Upper, Middle, and Lower, and the distances and parti tion woods between them were sufficient to make them distinct towns. "The travel to the College was mainly from Middle Lansing, via Michigan Ave nue. This street was usually a mud hole from the hotels to the College, par ticularly in the spring and fall, and was lined with timber except now and then a small opening made by new settlers." On May 13, 1857, formal dedication of the college took place, and classes for the 61 students began the next day. The science of agriculture at that time was little developed and education was by the most practical methods. The lower age limit for students was 14 years, and other than a scant primary education and (Continued on Page 19) Workmen remove a century-old tree from the site of the new dormitory for women.

These men have matured. They want to make up for lost time and go forward with their careers. They are performing a high quality of work. They expect a reasonable opportunity to get a good education as quickly as possible. For their Michigan State College needs and those of the increasing enrollment of civilians, certain facilities must be provided. to meet interests, as well as Michigan State College believes a sound investment can be made for the future of Michigan through provision of adequate teaching and research facilities at the college, where tomorrow's leaders are being trained in almost every field of human activity. With adequate sup port the college is prepared to do its part. Without the interest of the public and the financial support of the state gov ernment, the hands of the college are tied. The end of the war brings to Michigan State College many problems that it can It can provide plans not solve alone. for returning veterans and and procedures for the kind of educa tional opportunities that should be avail for able civilian students. The physical facilities, such as classrooms, teaching and re- seai-ch laboratories, and housing facili ties, can be provided only through gifts or appropriations. Michigan State Col lege has few gifts from private donors, and the situ ation is not likely to change in the imme diate future.

For years classroom facilities have been inadequate. Courses have been in attics and other undesirable locations. Office space has been at a premium; in some instances as many as ten staff members have been housed in one room, allowing no oppor tunity for student counseling in privacy. With building costs much higher than a year ago, it is necessary that an addi tional $300,000 be appropriated for the construction of the classroom building.

The nearest Carpenter ever came to praise from Dr. Kedzie was one day when seven magnesium tubes were broken, one after another, just about as fast as they could be attached. Kedzie's comment was, "Well, Carp, it wasn't your fault." For a good many years Dr. Carpenter's principal research has been with proteins and amino-acids and he has acquired a world-wide reputation in this field. He says that of all his work, the most inter esting was the molecular weights of the three proteins found in the crude casein of cow's milk. This work took him to Sweden where he employed the great ultracentrifuge built by Svedberg, for which the latter had received the Nobel Prize. It was a shock to chemists to find that crude casein, on which researches had been done for 40 years, was a mixture of three proteins. thinks, we probably will know enough about pro teins so that many of the agricultural surpluses containing protein may be utilized industrially in plastics and syn thetic textiles.

Dwight Clark Carpenter, '11, now Research Chief of the New York State Agri cultural Experi ment Station at Geneva and pro fessor of chemis try at Cornell University, was cast in that role Dr. Carpenter while an undergraduate. As the old-timers will remember, "Uncle Frank" seldom handed out any remarks. One of his complimentary favorite lecture experiments was to pass steam over hot magnesium in a bulb- tube and weigh the magnesium oxide and collect and measure the liberated hydro gen gas. The experiment was difficult to Edmund F. Pogor, '41 Lt. Edmund Pogor, '41, aboard the U.S.S.

Homecoming Day Is Big Success Homecoming on November 3 brought to East Lansing the largest crowd of graduates and former students in four years. Not since 1941 have so many stopped in the Union lobby to register their presence and check the tabulations to see "who was back." Friday night's traditional pre-game pep meeting and stag smoker at the Olds Hotel were the best of the fall. Early Saturday morning and sorority houses put up original decora tions for visitors to view, with Kappa Kappa Gamma winning top honors. the fraternity The Missouri Tiger clawed for victory all afternoon but the old grads, seeing their first snowfall of the season, were rewarded when the game ended with a 14-7 victory for Michigan State. Hun dreds of alumni rushed to the edge of the playing field after the game to form re union groups around the class banners and that night some people said a shoe horn was used to pack them in at the dance in the Union Ballroom. It was just the kind of post-war Home coming many of the returned veterans had hoped for during the years spent in the services. J A N U A R Y, 1 9 46 . . .. 9 Sports at State By Nick Ke/tbauMf This year's intercollegiate indoor schedule once more identifies Michigan State athletics with extensive facilities in the mammoth Jenison gymnasium and fieldhouse on the Spartan campus. Little wonder that Coach Ben F. Van Alstyne is indeed a busy and worried man. The affable Spartan basketball mentor is directing his charges in a 21-game schedule that stacks up as the toughest ever attempted by a Michigan State quintet. One look at the schedule and no one will deny Van Alstyne all the ammuni tion he can muster. He has 10 letter- men on hand, many of whom are finding it difficult to regain a job on the playing five. In the front line are ex-servicemen Sam Fortino of Alma and Robin Roberts of Springfield, 111., both members of the 1944 squad. Oliver White of Cleveland played two years before entering the service in 1943. Freshmen Don Waldron of Milwaukee and John Granack of Ham mond, Ind., are promising newcomers. At the guards are Pat Peppier of Chi cago and Dan Pjesky of Benton Harbor, both members of the 1942-43 squad be fore entering the armed forces. Dud Jones of East Chicago set the individual high scoring mark for a Spartan at 25 points in a single game before entering the Merchant Marine. He's back as is Joe Beyer of Grosse Pointe and Joe Krakora, of Berwyn, 111., from last year's squad. The pivot spot is causing Van Alstyne great concern. Leading candidates are Bill Krali, 6-foot, 7%-inch beanpole from Detroit, Matt Mazza, a husky from Niagara Falls, N. Y., and George Francke, newcomer from Saginaw. Last year's aggregation, after a dis appointing start, wound up the season with 10 victories in 17 starts.

Julian, gridiron immortal. His feats on the gridiron are legendary. His interest in his college never waned.

It is to be available to any athlete who at the end of his junior year has shown marked traits as a student, athlete, gentleman, and leader on campus.

Other alumni and friends of "Carp" have sent so many letters that the committee is now accepting gifts from any source. Checks should be made out to the George E. Julian Memorial Scholarship Fund and mailed to L. L. Frimodig, Michigan State College.
