NOV 6 194S MicM4XLG*t State CcUleae OCTOBER 1946 \'t \ Aiou+id tUe GatHfuti with tk& odUton: As you've been reading about the ex tensive construction program now un der way on the campus perhaps you've been more than a little worried about how it will affect the beautiful campus of which we all are so proud. Those of you who may have had an opportunity to visit the campus in the past few months probably are even more worried about it. You've seen steam shovels digging in odd places, and bull dozers shoving dirt all over the place. You've seen pavements, grass and side walks torn up. apparently indiscrimin ately. If you've observed very closely, how ever, you may have noticed something more. In one case, for instance, there was a steamshovel digging up dirt, and not more than 50 feet behind it was another filling the newly made ditch up again. But, in between, the necessary work was being done. In several cases, too, pavement that was torn up less than three weeks ago already has been repatched and is as good as new. Trees and shrubbery are being protected as well as possible to provide a nucleus for future plantings that will bring the campus back to nor mal. to Harold W. Lautner, 1925 graduate of Michigan State, who returned the campus last spring as head of the de partment of landscape architecture and campus landscape architect, has a word of assurance for us that we'll still have a beautiful campus despite the many new buildings. "The beauty of the campus," he says, "has not been harmed by buildings built in the past and there is no indication that the new buildings will harm it now. Just the reverse is true. The new per manent buildings will add immense pos sibilities in site planning design." As you stop to think about it you'll no doubt agree that the beauty of the campus hasn't been just its trees, shrub bery and gardens. The buildings them important selves always have been an part of the overall picture. The build ings, the roads and the sidewalks all have been blended into the beautiful campus that lies beside the winding cedar. Next issue, by which time it is ex pected that all construction in the South Harrison road area is completed, we hope to present an aerial view showing there. just what has been done over You'll note how even in the temporary areas the buildings have been laid out along curving roads, with wide, open areas for recreation. 2 . . . . TH E R E C O RD Incidentally, we said something about the campus BESIDE the winding cedar a couple of paragi-aphs back. You'll note elsewhere the new agricultural engineering building is go ing up south of the river, the first aca demic building down that wTay. issue that this in If that develops into a trend, and well it may, maybe some day we'll have to change like "ASTRIDE the winding cedar." to something the phrase One of the most gratifying things about the college to an alumnus of my day returning to the campus is the cal ibre of the faculty and the accomplish ments of many of its individual mem bers. Speaking of folklore, our own campus has its share of it. The RECORD would be glad to run material of that type, space permitting, but some one, of course, has to send it to us. Maybe it should be mentioned incidents of college life that folklore doesn't necessarily have to be in old. Many recent years eventually will become the subjects of future reminiscences, and would provide interesting material even now. We ourselves might some day tell the story of the goal posts at Ann Arbor and how it happened they fell so easily just 10 years ago this fall. And, to men tion a couple of names, maybe Dave Christian or Fred Belen would like to tell about their bright idea for an extra float for the 1937 Water Carnival. May be not, too. I'm thinking offhand of some who have been in the news most recently—such as Dr. Nye, new division and department head who won a Pulitzer prize in 1945 for his biography of George Bancroft; or Dr. Richard M. Dorson, of the his tory department, who recently published a book on New England folklore and is now studying Michigan's Upper Pen insula in preparation for another book on that area. Also Dr. Williams and Dr. Hoppe of the English department have had work accepted for publication, as noted else where. There are many others, too, but these are in the current news and come to mind at the moment. like Dr. Dorson, particularly, I'd to mention for it is quite possible many of you could give him a lift with his work. He is in charge of the Folklore Archives of the college and is seeking folklore of the whole state. Perhaps you can send something in to him. He'll be glad to have it. Anyhow, drop us a line about the days you spent here and some of the things that made life interesting at M.S.C. or M.A.C. And, by the way, send such ma terial directly to the editor—as listed in the box below. Many of you who were here in the days when the enrollment was in the three to six thousand bracket must think of this new 13,000 total with awe—par- ticularly, if you think of the registra tion procedure. Remembering the kind of schedules the late comers used to get in those old en days, one can't help but sympathize for those coming from 10,000 on up now adays. Hero of the week almost must be Ker- mit Smith, assistant registrar, who al ways seemed able to find time and space for the many new sections required be cause of the unheralded number of stu dents.

October, 1946 Volume 51 Number 4 We Wouldn't Jtcvue, 9t Otk&uuUe Thus did President John A. Hannah the willingness of Michigan express State College to stretch its facilities to the utmost to accommodate the greatly increased enrollment this fall. He was speaking to the convocation for new stu dents at the opening of freshman week on September 23. President Hannah explained to the new students that the college had never had more than about 7,000 students at any one time prior to the war. An all time high of 8,000 was reached last spring. He added that more than 10,000 were expected to register before the close of that week. "We wouldn't have it otherwise," he said. "There have been five years when the education of young men has been interfered with by the war, and now there is that great accumulated backlog of veterans wanting to come to college, partially subsidized by the government. "It was obvious last spring that we were not going to be able to take care of all the students who wanted to come to Michigan State College, but we de cided we would take care of all the vet erans we could. "Michigan State College has spent a great deal of money and a great deal of trying to do everything it could effort to be ready for you, and in spite of it all we are not 100 percent ready." * * * Maybe Michigan State College was not 100 percent ready for the 10,000 expected students on September 23. But on September 30 Michigan State College started its fall term class work things with 13,045 students—and, all considered, was doing very well. True, everyone was not housed in nor mal quarters, eating was a difficult prob lem for nearly everyone, some classes were held at odd hours, and teaching staffs were working somewhat more than overtime. But the adoption of many emergency measures helped solve the many problems, and whole-hearted co operation from all concerned made things run much more smoothly than anyone anticipated. Dr. Hannah had warned that everyone would have to put up with inconveniences and hardships for a few weeks, but pointed out that it was no fault of the college. Michigan State, with 5,000 more students than it had ever had at one time before, was fulfilling its responsibilities Fall, 1931 Fall, 1936 Fall, 1940 Fall, 1942 Fall, 1943 Fall, 1944 Fall, 1945 Winter, 1946 Spring, 1946 . . .. 7,954 13,045 Now 3,299 4,627 6,776 6,331 3,484 3,821 5,329 6,929 to the people of Michigan and their chil dren seeking a higher education. The Student Body The registrar's office on October 10 reported that 13,045 students had regis tered. Of this number 9,693 were men, and 3,352 were women. Although a definite count had not been made it was estimated that 8,000 were veterans. The proportion of three men to one woman is almost the reverse of what it was at times during the war. The students started to register on Wednesday, September 25, and at the end of the first day it was obvious that early estimates of 10,500 total were low. Approximately 3,900 students registered that day. The total had swelled to nearly 7,600 on Thursday and over 11,000 Friday night. Saturday morning registrations brought the total to 12,832. Latecomers made the total 13,045. Previous fall term high was in 1940 when 6,776 enrolled. Previous high for any term was last spring when registra tion week saw 7,954 enrolled, although full year short course students, registered earlier, swell the spring term total to more than 8,000. Where They Live When the war ended in August, 1945, college officials realized it wouldn't be long before great numbers of students would be seeking admission to Michigan State. And the first and foremost prob lem to be met was that of housing. In the fall of 1945 fewer than 3,000 students were housed in college-operated housing. There were no wives or chil dren at that time, but it was obvious that many intended to bring their families to the campus with them when they returned to school. returning veterans At the start of the fall term this year 5,300 students lived in college housing, in addition to nearly 600 dependents. About 900 men and women lived in fra ternities and sororities. Approximately 2,000 students lived in their own homes or with relatives. The remainder, or nearly 5,000, are living in rented quarters in Lansing and East Lansing. Appeals to residents of those cities to open rooms for student occupancy drew an excellent response. The cooperation of home owners did much to alleviate the housing shortage. Other housing projects now under con struction probably will be ready for oc cupancy by January 1. Two former army hospital units will house 240 men when completed. These probably will be moved from Jenison gymnasium, where 524 men are now housed. for More of the 11 permanent apartment buildings will be completed, and made available families. Ten student families are now housed there. The 300 former army barracks, not occupied at present, should be complete by January 1, providing housing for 1,148 families. Snyder and Phillips halls for men are expected to be completed early in the winter. They will house more than 1,200 men. Three women's dormitories, Elida HELP! HELP! Textbooks Are Badly Needed! The large enrollment at Michigan State College has created a serious text book shortage. The situation is serious throughout the nation, so that textbook publishers can promise no immediate relief. Meanwhile, many students must resort to makeshift methods to study classroom assignments in textbooks. Maybe you as alumni have some textbooks that will help. You are urgently requested to send ANY textbooks you may have t o: Michigan State College Book Store Veterans Books East Lansing, Michigan Note: Use book rate postage. It's cheaper. Do it now! The books will be distributed to veterans, free of charge. O C T O B E R, 1 9 46 . . .. 3 Yakeley, Linda Landon, and Maude Gil christ also are progressing. It is hoped that one will be ready by winter term, thus permitting the enrollment of more freshmen women. Upon completion of all present build ing projects the campus will house more than 9,200 students. Including faculty members in college-operated housing, and the dependents of both student and facul ty groups, the "city" of Michigan State College will have a resident population of more than 12,000 persons—four times what it was a year ago. Where They Eat When the 13,000 students descended on the campus this fall, the question of eating became even more of a problem than that of housing. Additional rooms were unearthed in Lansing and East Lan sing, but finding additional places to eat wasn't that simple. The Union building cafeteria is now closed to all except students and staff members. Also, the Union is operating a boarding club of about 450 members. In the Quonset Village a large Quonset dining hall was constructed, but its facili ties were not complete as school opened. As a result food had to be cooked down town and brought out for serving. How ever, within two weeks after opening of classes the dining hall was operating on its own. Odd hours for classes, running from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., through both lunch and supper hours, caused changes in dormi tory and other eating schedules. Break fast is served from 6:30 to 8, lunch from 11 to 1:15, and supper from 5 to 7:15. are East Lansing crowded with students and faculty mem bers seeking food. restaurants also Where They Learn Classroom space was at a premium when original schedules were set up to provide for an expected 10,500 enroll ment. But as the 13,000 students poured through the registration mill, more and more sections were added, and somehow, Kermit Smith, assistant registrar, always seemed to find vacant hours and class rooms. About 300 sections were added to the original program. Many sections were increased in size to provide for more stu dents. The college rented two rooms from the Peoples church to be used as classrooms for the remainder of the fall term. In addition, the Federal Public Housing authority has granted the col lege a group of metal barracks, seven of which when completed will be used for classrooms. 4 . . . . TH E R E C O RD This has caused problems for Jackson Towne, librarian. Already faced with the need for handling assigned reading for 13,000 students in a room with a seat ing capacity of 140, the library was given the added burden of handling textbooks through the assigned reading room. In this way a number of textbooks are made available to the students, but not in a satisfactory way. It is hoped that an addition to the library can be started in the near future to provide a much larger room for as signed reading, and also additional stack space. The Faculty The faculty is faced with heavy sched ules, a large part of the staff carrying excess loads because of the high enroll ment. Additional teachers have been recruited wherever possible, but new teachers from outside in many cases have hesitated to come to East Lansing be cause of the housing situation. Many wives of faculty members, as well as of local business men and teach ers, have been added to the staff. Many of these persons hold advanced degrees and have in higher taught previously institutions. * * * Michigan State is making every effort to provide adequate educational facilities for its its 13,000 students, in spite of many problems. It is probable that the enrollment will go even higher for winter term. Completion of housing projects and classroom buildings now under con struction will do much to alleviate many of the difficulties encountered this fall. City and College Approve Campus Fire Station Construction on a temporary fire sta tion has been started on the northwest corner of South Harrison road and Kala mazoo streets, following an agreement reached between the State Board of Ag riculture and the City of East Lansing. fire protection has been made necessary by the rapid ex pansion of the college, and particularly by the large area of temporary housing along South Harrison road. The fire sta tion will serve the entire campus. Improvement of New equipment is to be purchased, in cluding a modern fire fighting truck. The fire department will be under the super vision of the East Lansing fire depart ment, which will hire the personnel. The temporary building now under construction will be replaced later by a permanent building when needed mater ials are available. Last stop in the registration line was the nurses' tables where every student had the opportunity to re ceive an immunization shot for influ enza. While it was not compulsory, nearly all gladly the shots. Here, Esther Schuur, Decatur sopho more, is given the needle by Mrs. Mary Lou Schepers, of the college hospital staff. took The Horticultural building is a typical example of a crowded campus building. For example, Room 206, the large lecture room, is in service 61 hours of the week. Other rooms in the same building, 208, 103 and 306, are in use 68 hours each week. This is made possible by addition of many 7 a.m. classes, and stretching the day to 10 p.m. This makes a full 15- hour day with many classes scheduled for the 12 to 1 and 5 to 6 hours which are normally reserved for eating. How They Study Textbooks offered another problem. Bookstores ordered books for 10,500 stu dents last spring. Most of those orders have been filled, although a few are still en route. But the textbooks needed for the additional 2,500 students necessarily were not ordered until late. Publishers make no promises for delivery, citing various reasons for delays. ON THE COVER State The Michigan College marching band of 80 pieces made its first appearance at a football game in four years on October 5, at the Boston College game. Drum major was James Dye, Saginaw freshman. Homecoming November 16! Yes, the welcome sign will be out for all alumni on November 15 and 16 for the first big homecoming celebration since pre-war days. Feature event of the two days, of course, will be the clash between Coach Charley Bachman's Spar tans and the Hilltoppers from Marquette in Macklin Field on Saturday afternoon. There'll be plenty of opportunity foi the returning grads to work off pre- game steam on Friday night. Students of the college are planning a mammoth pep rally starting at 7 p.m. With a student body of 13,000 filled with under graduate enthusiasm it shouldn't be too difficult for the alumni to get back into the swing of things. Then at 9 p.m. comes the major event of Friday night, the annual stag smoker downtown. This event, held in the main jointly ballroom of sponsored by the Alumni Varsity club and the Central Michigan Alumni club.

This starts at 9 p.m. and Glen Stewart warns everyone to make ticket reservations in advance. Tickets will be limited to 1,500 couples, and that enroll ment of 13,000 should be fair warning that tickets probably will not last long. Throughout the weekend, of course, there will be the usual informal gather ings at fraternity and sorority houses. Other special groups will be holding parties. Yes, the "WELCOME, ALUMNI" sign will be out, and the program that Glen Stewart has arranged proves the col lege means it. It'll be a big day for every body—except Marquette.

O C T O B E R, 1 9 46 . . .. 5 Alumni Voice Support of Memorial to information Preliminary work has been started by the Department of Alumni Relations on the task involved in the distribution of Memorial Center the alumni body and the reception of pledges in support of the project. Newly ap pointed as assistant director of the de partment is Joseph K. Goundie, Jr., '41, a member of many campus organizations while a student and a recently discharged Army Air Forces veteran of the Pacific theatre. In his new position, Goundie will assist Glen O. Stewart in the coordina tion of plans for the project. Already he has received many requests for informa in the memorial, as an tion concerning nounced the July RECORD. The Memorial Center is to include an Inter national House and a Memorial Chapel in a formal garden setting, located on the high ground just east of the Beal Botanical Gardens. Within the near future complete infor mation about the Center will be sent to every graduate and former student. The information will give descriptions and sketches of the Memorial Chapel and In ternational House, discuss the memorial opportunities in each building which are suitable for individual dedications, and outline how each Michigan State man and woman may play a part in the building of the Memorial Center. Ralph R. Calder, consulting architect of Detroit, who has been associated with the construction of some of the new buildings on the campus, is completing drawings of the memorial. Mr. Calder has said that the site chosen lends itself excellently to the work of landscaping. More than 6,300 former students of the College served in the armed forces dur ing the war. The list of war dead to be honored by the memorial now numbers 326. Below are statements in support of the project voiced by three members of the alumni body. "There is evidence today of a growing spirit to attach oneself to objects of permanence and of worth. The men and women of our Alma Mater have caught this spirit. From villages and towns and cities throughout this country and in foreign lands have come letters of approval of the Me morial Center plan. It is a spontaneous expression of a willingness on the part of these graduates and former students to accept their inheritance from our war dead. "I have long felt that the proposal of a worthy project on campus would receive unbounded sup port from the alumni body. My belief has been sustained. When the work on the Memorial Cen ter has been completed and two buildings stand overlooking the beauty of the Beal Gardens, there will be more than a dedication to good will among men and nations—there will be proof in the hearts of alumni and friends was a feeling that this dedication be made to those who gave to us, the living, another chance to achieve that good will." that —E. B. More, '16, Chairman of Alumni Advisory Council I "I am sure the feeling I had when first learned of the proposed Memorial Center was shared by many alumni. It seemed we had waited a long time for an opportunity to do a real job together. The idea of a chapel, together with an International House, located on a beautiful spot on the old section of campus, appeared to be just the right theme for a living memorial. And the only financial program which would ever give us these two buildings, since they possess no source of income, would be one of alumni support. "Our class lost Royce A. Drake who was killed on the Leyte beachhead while serving as a colonel with the famed First Cavalry division. We shall never forget Colonel Drake and the other men of Michigan State who gave their lives in World War II. It is fitting that we build in their honor a Memorial Center which looks to the past with reverence and respect and faces the future with intelligent faith in the better world they held so deep in their hearts." —June Ranney Lyman (Mrs. Richard P.) '27 "Three hundred and twenty-six Michigan State men died in the service of their country during World War II. It is to these men that we owe a debt. "The men of forces became the American known everywhere as friendly ambassadors of a friends wonderful country. Yet, as they made with Icelanders and Burmese, with Australians and Belgiums, they found it difficult to under stand the failure among nations to establish sin cere and direct relations. The work of the Inter national House will help us fulfill their wish. And, in the Memorial Chapel nearby, connected to the International House by a covered walk, Michigan State men and women will worship in their own edifice, dedicated last prayers in the black jungles of the Solomons and the rain and mud of the Italian front. to those who said their "I feel that the building of the Memorial Cen ter is as fine a project as we can undertake in their behalf." —John S. Pingel, '39, Assistant Football Coach 6 . . . . TH E RECORD Three New Buildings Are Started Work on three more academic build ings with an estimated cost of $2,225,- 000 was started on the campus late in September. Completion of the three pro jects, physics, electrical engineering, and agricultural engineering, will do much to alleviate existing shortages of class room and laboratory space. Ground was broken September 17 for the new physics buliding, largest of the three. Costing an estimated $1,000,000, it will be two stories high with base ment, and will contain 1,000,000 cubic feet of space. It is to be located immedi ately east of the anatomy building in the eastern section of the main campus. This will provide modern quarters for the departments of physics and astron omy and mathematics. For many years the physics department has been housed the in one of the oldest buildings on as campus, originally constructed a chemistry remodeled laboratory many times since. The mathematics de partment for several years has been in Morrill hall, formerly the woman's build ing. and The new electrical engineering build ing has been started south of the chemi cal engineering building. This building will have a ground floor and three addi tional stories, and will contain 850,000 cubic feet of space. It will cost an esti the elec mated $750,000. Removal of trical engineering department from the R. E. Olds hall of engineering, will pro vide additional space for the civil and mechanical engineering departments. The third of the new projects, the agricultural engineering building, will be one of the first academic structures to be located south of the river. It will be built along Farm Lane road on the pres ent site of the work horse barn. The latter now is being moved to another site. This building will have a ground floor, two stories in the front and one in the rear. The estimated cost is $475,000. All three projects are expected to be completed for the opening of fall term in September, 1947. The Reniger Con struction company of Lansing the contractor for the physics and agricul the tural engineering buildings, and Christman company, of Lansing, will do the general contracting work for the electrical engineering building. is Other general projects now under con struction include the classroom building, which is being pushed to completion to provide essential classroom space. This building, a $1,000,000 structure located the Horticultural across the road from Three of the buildings now under construction on the campus are pictured in this view. In the lower right is the classroom building. Its 53 classrooms, seating 3,204 students at once, will do much to alleviate shortage of classroom space when completed around January 1, 1947. Just to the left is the home management laboratory and in the upper left hand corner is the basement of the Natural Science building, which will not be completed until fall of 1947. building, will have 53 classrooms with a seating capacity of 3,250. It is hoped it may be completed by winter term, or at the latest in time for opening of spring term. Largest of all buildings on the cam pus will be the Natural Science building when completed. Costing $2,000,000 this is building is to be 704 feet located just east of the Dairy building, and is designed to follow the curve of the road. It will house the departments of botany, entomology, zoology, geology and geography, and Basic College science departments. long. It The construction already started also includes a home economics home man agement laboratory, next to the class room building, a food stores building and a power house, both just east of the sta dium south of the river, and an addition to the Administration building. In the near future the construction program calls for a two million dollar addition to the Union Memorial building and a conference-hotel building. Some what later, it is expected that additions to the Home Economics building and the Library will be constructed. 728 Graduate Students Dean Ralph C. Huston, of the School that 728 of Graduate Studies, reports students enrolled for graduate work at the college this fall. Of the number, 73, or approximately ten percent, are from foreign countries. Extension Service Sponsors Rural Caravan Again The Michigan State College extension service will sponsor another Caravan tour— starting in January, 1947. The rural which will center around better the living—will visit every county lower peninsula. Last year's Caravan was visited by 93,000 persons—nearly double the expected attendance. in James G. Hays, '11, of the emergency labor office, has been named as farm director of tour. George the Caravan Amundson, of the agricultural engineer last ing department, directed the tour year and remains as chairman of the Caravan committee. Atoms on the Campus There are times that parts of the Mich igan State campus may look as though an atomic bomb had spread its destruc tion. But Dr. Ralph A. Bowersox, associ ate professor of physics and astronomy, reports that there was only an inconse quential increase in radioactivity in the college area at first the atomic bomb test at Bikini, on July 1. time of the The increase amounted only to about 6 or 7 percent, Dr. Bowersox said, and, so far as physicists are concerned that is hardly conclusive. He estimates that an increase of more than 900 percent would have been necessary to affect any of the human beings in the area. O C T O B E R, 1 9 46 . . .. 7 Three Scholarly Treatises By Faculty Members On Book Lists Three members of the faculty recent ly have had books published or have had them accepted for publication. In one case, the proposed publication is to be assisted by a direct grant of $1,000 by the State Board of Agriculture, first such grant ever made at the college. "The Common Expositor," a study of scriptural commentary the Renais sance period, written by Dr. Arnold L. Williams, assistant professor English, is to be published by the University of North Carolina Press. in In the belief that this book exempli the fies the type of scholarship which board likes to encourage among mem bers of the faculty, the State Board of Agriculture authorized the $1,000 sub sidy to cover the costs of publication. The book is considered the most exhaus tive study yet made in its field. The book tries to fix the part that the Book of Genesis played in the thought of the Renaissance period, dealing par the ticularly with the contributions of commentaries of that time to the culture of the period. Besides a detailed account of the contents of the commentaries the book studies the relations between the commentaries and science, literature, po litical and economic thought and other fields. Dr. Harry R. Hoppe, also an assistant professor of English, has had his book, "The Bad Quarto of Romeo and Juliet," accepted by publication as the next vol ume in the Cornell Studies in English, published by the Cornell University Press. Dr. Hoppe's work attempts to explain the differences between the first and sec ond editions of "Romeo and Juliet." The book lays the blame on the poor mem ory of some actor or actors who had played in a performance of the tragedy. Much of this study was done by Dr. Hoppe in Euro pean libraries. the basic research for Dr. Richard M. Dorson, assistant pro fessor of history and political science and now in charge of the college folk lore archives, had his book on New Eng land folklore, "Jonathan Draws the Long Bow," published in August by the Har vard University Press. Dr. Dorson's book is based on his own search through old almanacs, newspa pers, town histories, and periodicals of the New England area. The work orig inally formed his doctorate thesis. He now is studying Michigan's Upper Pen insula and its folklore in preparation for writing a book on that section.

Metal Barracks Provide Classroom Space to the college by The acute classroom shortages on the campus will be alleviated to some ex tent by the erection on the south side of the river of 12 temporary steel bar racks furnished the Federal Public Housing Authority. These will be located on the west side of Farm Lane road just south of the river road. Seven of the 12 buildings will be used for classrooms, providing at least nine rooms which are expected to be ready for occupancy by the middle of the fall term.

Mack and Bill Scott, both of Buffalo, N.Y.; Walter Kalmbaugh of Grass Lake, Richard Zobel of Ferndale and Larry Johns of Pontiac. Each has won either a major or minor award in previous years. The schedule: Oct. 19, at Penn State; Oct, 26, Notre Dame at East Lansing; Nov. 2, Loyola invitational at Chicago; Nov. 9, triangular meet with Wiscon sin and Iowa at Madison; Nov. 16, ICAAAA at New York; Nov. 25, NCAA at East Lansing. Michigan Game Skedded On November Date For the first time since 1931 the tra foot ditional Michigan State-Michigan ball game has a November date. All roads lead to Ann Arbor on No vember 9, and prospects are that a sell out crowd of persons will greet their favorite team. The game is the seventh on Michigan State's 10-game schedule. Three follow ing games, all to be played in East Lans ing, will ring down the 1946 curtain as follows: November 16, Marquette (home coming); November 23, Maryland; No vember 30, Washington State. Former Backfield Coach Dies In Missouri Joseph Holsinger, backfield coach at Michigan State, died at his home in Jefferson City, Missouri, on August 14. Holsinger, who had undergone a brain operation a year before, was five weeks before his stricken again death. He was 42 years old. former He joined Charley Bachman in 1939, serving as backfield coach and chief scout, as well as assistant professor of physical education. Because of his illness he had missed the early part of the 1945 football season, but returned to the team fcr the last half of the season. He resigned from the Michigan State staff on July 1, 1946, and moved to Jefferson City with his family. He is survived by his wife, Dorothy, and five children, Michael, Mark, Anne, Elizabeth, and David.

Sports at State liq, Mick Kebbauuf, Although this year football crowds have reached unprecedented numbers at Michigan State, an all-time high is in prospect at homecoming on November 16 when the Spartans entertain the Hill- toppers of Marquette University in Macklin Field Stadium. Homecoming to this year promises have all the whoop-de-do of prewar years. Extensive plans being developed by the alumni office are being matched by the athletic department for the fea tured football attraction commencing at 2 p.m. We suspect that a goodly number of Michigan State grads residing in prox imity of East Lansing has already viewed Coach Charlie Bachman's grid is in action. However, machine something electrifying about a home coming game that spins a different slant from previously played games. there In brief, it is a game designed chiefly with you in mind. It's your ballgame, lock, stock and barrel. In past years, Michigan State and Marquette have been involved in some spine-tingling affairs. This year's game promises to be no exception. Back at the helm of Marquette coaching is Frank Murray, whose unique variations of the "T" offense have produced some spark ling ball teams. 10 . .. . T HE R E C O RD Followers of the Marquette series will remember Murray's teams against Michi gan State from 1933 to 1936. He lost a pair of encounters to Bachman coached elevens, 6 to 0 and 13 to 7, after which Murray bounded right back to win a couple of tilts by identical scores, 13 to 7. Murray served Marquette with bril liance before his departure in 1937 to the University of Virginia. Now back in Milwaukee, he has reinherited a foot ball series with Michigan State that favors the Spartans, eight games won as against six lost and one tied. The lone tie score resulted last year in a game that left the fans mumbling to themselves. across Trailing by a score of 6 to 0 going in to the fourth quarter, Michigan State shoved and two kicked an extra point to gain a 13 to 13 deadlock. The climax occured when End Tino Barbas scooped up a blocked punt and scampered 16 yards to score short ly before the final gun sounded. touchdowns Best that you write "Frim" for your tickets right away.

Four New Opponents On Twenty Game Cage Schedule Four new opponents are included on basketball Michigan State's schedule. Eleven of the games will be played in East Lansing and nine away from home. 1946-47 Arizona, Georgia Tech, Boston College and Virginia will "break bread" with the Spartans for the first time, Arizona on January 2, Georgia Tech on January 4, Virginia on February 11, and Bcston Col lege on February 22. The four games will be played in the Spartans' bailiwick. Meanwhile, plans are set to increase the seating capacity of Jenison fieldhouse from 10,500 to over 13,000 in order to accommodate the increased size of the student body and the upsurge of inter est in basketball. Traditional rivals dot the Michigan State cage schedule. Included are Michi gan, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Ken tucky. Coach Ben F. Van Alstyne, starting his 19th year at Michigan State, has a record number of candidates seeking berths on the team. Among them are three members of last year's brilliant squad, forward Robin Roberts and the two guards, Ollie White, honorary cap tain last year, and Don Waldron.

The Notre Dame and Michigan State football teams have met 15 times in the past, the last time being in 1921.

Of the 15 games, State won two, 17 to 0 in 1910, and 13 to 0 in 1918. Michigan State and Notre Dame have enjoyed excellent relations in all other sports in recent years. Last year the two schools met in basketball, baseball, track, tennis, and golf. The stadium expansion program will also provide a housing unit of 450 dormi tory rooms, capable of housing 900 men students. This addition to the college housing program will help alleviate the acute housing shortage prevailing on the campus at the present time. The college's system of financing much of its building program through self- liquidation will be applied to the stadium addition. No public funds will be used to defray the cost. The combination stadium-dormitory will cost in excess of one and one-half millions of dollars. Construction will start as soon as material is available, following the present season's schedule. It is expected to be ready for use by the opening of the 1948 season. the close of Saturday, Feb. 22, BOSTON COLLEGE AT EAST LANSING Saturday, Mar. 1, MICHIGAN AT EAST LANSING Al Kawal, Michigan State's line coach, was captain of Northwestern's football and basketball team during his senior year in college.

Benedict, of Ionia, received the "Sayer Prize" in bacteri junior year at Michigan ology State no one dreamed that within 10 years his name would be linked with the new drug "penicillin." Yet in the hush-hush research work on this impor tant drug during the war years, Benedict, as a member of 12-man team at the Northern Regional Research Laboratory in Peoria, Illinois, helped to create an urgently-needed high-productivity strain of penicillin mold. The 12 scientists working as a research team utilized the pool of their collective knowledge and microbiology and chemistry to produce the miracle drug in quantity. Benedict recalls the beginning of the story, which was not long ago—1929, in fact, when Alexander Fleming, an Eng lishman got to thinking what man most certainly had observed previously. And that was that mold which accidentally became lodged in a culture of disease- inducing bacteria had stopped the growth of the organism. Then in 1941 began the Peoria angle of penicillin's story, which likewise was given impetus by an Englishman, Dr. H. W. Florey of the Oxford university medical school. He came to the States to enlist aid in making penicillin avail infections able for treating war wound and was the Peoria laboratory. There he found one largest collections of of molds and a staff long experienced in the use of micro-organisms for the produc tion of chemicals.

Benedict has his Ph.D. degree from Wisconsin, where he taught from 1938 to 1942. He is married and has one son. Lyman Carrier, '02 The fame of Michigan State "ag" graduates was given national recogni tion this summer when Lyman Carrier, '02, was named MAN OF THE YEAR in "Service to Virginia Agriculture" by t he "Progressive f a rm Farmer," p u b l i c a t i on in Virginia. Because of long continued service to his adopted state of Virginia the de through velopment of bet ter pasture pro grams and state wide soil conser- v a t i o n policies, Carrier — n ow state conservationist, was cited for the award on the following basis: Lyman Carrier 1. First to demonstrate close-grazing, liberal fertilizing and liming made better pastures. 2. Organized the first Crop Improve ment Association in Virginia and in better seed of all this aided kinds with state laws for certifi cation. 3. Instrumental in selecting two wheat strains that lead production in Vir ginia. 4. Developed key by which 50 com mon grasses and small grain seed lings can be identified. 5. Achieved national recognition by becoming for a time chief agrono mist for the National Soil Erosion Service. In 1936 he received the "Award of Merit" of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute. 6. Outstanding citizenship—in church work, all forms of public welfare, in preserving agricultural history. Carrier looks back to his undergradu ate days at Michigan State where one special achievement placed his name on the athletic rolls—he won the one-mile walk at the state meet at Hillsdale in 1901. Ellis W. Ranney, Active Alumnus, Dies July 9 Ellis W. Ranney, '00, one of the most prominent of Michigan State alumni, died at Greenville on July 9 at the age of 68. from Following his graduation the college, Ranney continued his interest in the college throughout his life. From 1921 to 1924 he was president of the Alumni Association. At the 1934 Home coming the Varsity Club awarded him a distinguished service medal for his ath letic achievements as an undergraduate and for his lifelong interest in the insti tution since graduation. three Ranney was one of the first of letter men, starring the in college's baseball, basketball and football—in fact, he captained all three of the teams dur ing his final year. On hearing of Ranney's death, George Alderton, Lansing State Journal sports editor, devoted his daily column to a tribute. "Ellis Ranney," he said, "was a man whose interest in sports was but a part of a full life. What he did and stood for will never die." Alderton went on to tell of Ranney's continued interest in the college athletic teams, citing his many trips to East Lan sing to see the teams play, in addition to some longer jaunts for out-of-town games. The sports editor pointed out that Ranney's interest didn't stop with himself—he was always ready to help some children develop an in clean, wholesome athletics. interest He cites one occasion when Grandpa Ranney hitchhiked to Detroit with a few of his grandchildren to see the Tigers play—because the kids thought it would be more fun that way. Alderton also said his own son would never forget a trip to Temple during which Ranney teamed up with young Alderton to pro vide the latter a trip he would never forget. Ranney's five children, who survive, all graduated from Michigan State. They are Mrs. June Lyman and Mrs. Mary Whitelaw, both of East Lansing, Mrs. Ruth Young of East Grand Rapids, and the two sons, Frederick B. and George, of Greenville. Mrs. Whitelaw's husband, Colonel John L. Whitelaw, is now com mandant of the R.O.T.C. at the college. Others surviving are two sisters, Carrie and Hattie, and one brother, LeRoy W. Ranney, all of Greenville. His wife died in 1928. At the time of his death Ranney was chairman of the beard of the Ranney Refrigerator company, and was also affiliated with other business interests in Grand Rapids and Lansing.

Ranney whose passing is not only a great loss to family and friends but to Michigan State and all it stands for. Way back in June 1900 the Class Prophetess foretold that Ellis would become athletic director and football coach for his Alma Mater. He has been more than that—he has been a good angel to football and baseball teams for years. An athletic field bears his name but his kindness and gener osity have been known and appreciated for lesser projects without fanfare. We, his classmates of Naughty Naught feel that Ellis would like us to remember him as the base ball enthusiast shouting hoarsely towards the end of a close game: "one old dobber down!" and as the fun loving member of that famous band of Calethumpians in old Wells hall. And so it is to the friend and pal of college days that we offer this heartfelt testimonial of our affectionate remembrance. —Submitted by the class alumni secretary, Irma Thompson Ireland The the class sympathy of to George B.
