{W] mm p MjcJuqatt State QoUeqe MARCH 1947 Abound the Gampul Let's take a the expansion look at program of the college from the view point of one who spent some time around here 10 years ago. The enrollment in fall term of 1936 was 4,627. Looks small now, but at that time the figure was hailed as an indica tion of the great future that was rapidly unfolding for Michigan State. Compared to the 13,427 in school this winter, the 1936 enrollment appears insignificant, but to us then it resembled a mass in vasion of the campus. Enhancing that view was the inade quacy of facilities—as of 1936, we're speaking. Classes were held in all sorts of odd places (so we thought then). De partment offices were tucked into various and sundry corners. As a result, the faculty was hampered in its work. As things have turned out, we didn't know the half of it then. The present enrollment, as we've mentioned, is nearly three times that of 10 years ago. And, more to the point in this discussion, the facilities haven't been so greatly in creased. In fact—and this is a point all too often forgotten—until last winter there had been no legislative appropriations for any construction on the campus since 1929. President Hannah points out con sistently that all the buildings now under construction on the campus would be necessary to accommodate properly an enrollment of 7,000. Personally, we think even that is con servative, as some of the buildings now going up would have been handy with the enrollment of 4,627 back in 1936. The President further explains that the additional list of buildings for which he has requested funds contains only those needed to handle an enrollment of 9,000. And, again, he is being conserv ative. Educators everywhere expect continu ing interest in college education. So far as Michigan State is concerned, President Hannah does not expect the enrollment ever again to drop below 10,000 students —even after the days of heavy veteran enrollment. We've gone into this thing here, more or less informally, because of a certain amount of pessimism that seems to ex ist, even among alumni, as to whether the college is overbuilding. These pes simists seem to feel that the present high enrollments are of a temporary nature, and the new buildings later would not be needed. 'Tain't so, in our opinion, and if those 2 . . .. T HE R E C O RD who've been here on campus in the olden days compare conditions then with pros they'll pects for readily appreciate the situation. Let's sum it up with a little formula: the future we think 1936: Facilities inadequate for 4,627 students. 1946: Substantially the same facili ties must be inadequate for 13,427 students. Future: With a minimum enrollment of 10,000 students, it follows that every thing now under construction is vital if the college is to provide the proper edu cation for the young people of the state. Once upon a time the Beaumont Tow er's inner recesses were considered almost sacred ground. Now there are a dozen or more faculty members parked there with their desks, with no immediate pros pect of moving, even when present con struction is finished. Parking on the campus is another of the headaches brought on by the big enrollment. But on the morning of January 30, for a change, there was plenty of room in every lot on the campus. It didn't help, though, for that was the morning of the big snow. If you were fortunate enough to dig your car out of your own driveway at home, you usually had to start digging all over again when you leached the campus. * * * The social side of campus life meets with its difficulties, too. A few years ago J-Hop committees had to wrestle with the problem of distributing a mere three or tickets. The Masonic Temple downtown could accom modate only that many. four hundred This year, the J-Hop for the first time was held on two nights. Something like 1,500 couples attended each of the two nights at the college auditorium. In keeping with the old days, however, the top the committee brought bands of the day, Elliott Lawrence. in one of * * * That two-night stand for the J-Hop brought up a rather delicate little prob lem in ethics for at least one campus co-ed. She was fully appreciative of the fact that the party was scheduled for two nights so that more students could attend. So she presented her problem to the counselor for women to settle: 'Ts it all right for a co-ed to go to the J-Hop both nights, so long as it's with two different m e n ?"

AUunnl Back MemosUal tf.und "The Memorial Center Fund program is off to a fine start." With these words Dr. Floyd W. Owen, '02, general chair man of the fund, keynoted his address at a recent meeting of the Alumni Ad visory council. "Since last June, when the proposed memorial was first announced, letters and pledges of enthusiastic support have been received almost daily," Dr. Owen stated. "The opening of the active phase of the fund program on March 1 means that by a concentrated effort among all alumni we will make this fitting World War II memorial a reality." Walter W. Neller, '28, fund vice chair man, pointed out at the council meeting that only by the support of such an alumni-giving program will Michigan State ever have a chapel, as well as a suitable international house, since state appropriations will not fill such a need. Student Body Cooperating Neller further said that every dollar subscribed to the Memorial Center fund will be used for the construction of the World War II memorial. No other pur poses will be served. The fund-giving program is to include subscriptions pay able until June 30, 1948, in any plan of installments suitable to the giver. The campus is alive with interest con cerning the Memorial Center as plans are being completed for a student fund campaign to be conducted early in April. And, in every state, fund chairmen and vice chairmen have been appointed by the Alumni council to carry on the task of contacting Michigan Staters in their area?. Alumni clubs will conduct the work in sections where there are concen trated groups of former student?.

The value of the work of the international houses at such universities as Columbia, the University of Chicago, and the University of California has stood, for many years, as an encouraging uuide to those who have worked for un derstanding among nations. The Memorial Center, designed in the modern collegiate style of architecture by Ralph R. Calder, architect for the Music building, will fill the need for both these structures, and will provide a fitting tribute to those who served in the past war. •The Memorial Center is an excellent idea!" —Jack Dunn, '40, Veteran of CBI Theatre. "Enclosed is my personal check. MSC those men and women will not forget who gave all." —A. Leal Bibbins, '15. * * * "It is an honor for us to transfer these funds in order that those Michigan State men who fell on the field of battle may long be remembered." —From a contributing campus organization.

T HE R E C O RD Michigan State students have an opportunity to learn something about the culture of foreign lands at the International Center on the campus. Ming Chaing Chu, from China, here is explaining the features of a piece of Chinese art to Bill Simmons, Stanton freshman, and Carolyn Kirk, Mecosta senior. This and other items were on display at a recent exhibition at the Center. 9*tteA*uitijG4uU Qe+tt&n, S&io&i AU In the slightly more than two years that it has been open, the International Center on the Michigan State college campus has served as a meeting-place for students of many foreign lands and the United States. Thus, this compara tively new project has helped to bring about better understanding between peo ple of different nations. The Center serves not only the 138 foreign students now on the campus, but also the 13,000 or more from Michigan and other parts of this country. In fact, at most of the Center's major functions from there are many more present America the conti than from beyond nental boundaries of the United States. instance, the International club, which is sponsored by the Center, is made up of students from everywhere. Its roll of officers includes Michigan men and women, who work side by side with other officers from the Orient, or South Amer ica, or Europe. For Most of the foreign students at the college are graduate students, sent here by their countries to learn more about agriculture, science, and other subjects. Many of these students will return home to assume important posts in their own governments. It is this factor that makes the Inter national Center an important cog in the international cementing program of friendships. At weekly get-togethers, held under the leadership of Dr. Shao Chang Lee, director, ideas are exchanged. American students learn the customs and thoughts of those from other countries. Also, the foreign students have an op portunity to meet Americans outside the more formal classrooms and laboratories. However, the facilities in this old home are inadequate to permit the fullest use of the opportunities afforded by an In ternational Center for the entire student body. The need for enlarged quai'ters has been felt for some time. The alumni committee for considera tion of a war memorial on the campus recognized this need when it proposed that the Memorial Center be composed of International two buildings, one an House, the other a chapel, the Center to be dedicated thus to the promotion of international peace and goodwill. On the C&aei Best "beaver" at the Forestry club shindig this year belonged to Charles I. Poulsen Jr., of Akron, Ohio, who won an electric razor for a prize. In the cover scene he demonstrates an old woods man's trick, "the back-hand kiss." When he completes his course at State, Poul sen expects to take up forestry work in the western woods of Canada.

Loomis, head of the depart ment of sociology and anthropology, the agency will survey public opinion and study human relations. Facilities for surveying public opinion, analyzing consumer preferences, deter mining locality groupings, trade center boundaries, and leadership patterns are offered to both public and private agen cies. Certain public opinion polls are already being conducted by the new service for such agencies as the State Department of Public Instruction, the Extension serv ice of the college, the emergency farm labor program, and county library associ ations in Livingston, Ionia, Van Buren. and Lenawee counties. Several studies have been undertaken in various rural areas of the state that will be beneficial in the development of extension programs, health programs, and in solving problems concerning com munity needs. Nearly all members of the department of sociology and anthropology's staff are engaged as leaders for other projects considered. All conducted or being work done is under the guidance of a committee composed of E. L. Anthony. Dean of the School of Agriculture, L. C. Emmons, Dean of the School of Science and Arts, V. R. Gardner, director of the Agricultural Experiment Station, and R. J. Baldwin, director of the Agricul tural Extension Service. Financial support of the new service conies from the college, Agricultural Ex periment Station, and Extension Service. Other private and public agencies may secure its services on a fee basis. Activ ities of the Social Research Service will supplement the studies currently financed and carried out under the section of soci ology and anthropology of the Agricul tural Experiment Station. Pingel in New Post A move to revive MSC's pre-war pro gram of service to Michigan high schools was inaugurated by the transfer of John S. Pingel from the department of phy sical education to the office of S. E. Crowe, Dean of Students. As an administrative assistant, Pingei will visit the h'jrh schools of the state to confer with administrators on MSC admission standards, courses and facili ties, and to offer assistance to students in choosing their vocations. 6 . . .. T HE R E C O RD William H. Berkey, chairman of the State Board of Agriculture, governing body of the college, has announced that he will not seek re-election to the post at the spring elections. He has served as a member of the board for 18 years, his present term expiring next December 31. Mr. B e r k e y, who was 73 years old on February 24, said that poor health would pre vent his becom ing a candidate again. He has been editor of the Cassopolis Vigi lant since 1893, and was president the Michigan of Press Association in 1928. In discussing his retirement from the board with the editor of the Dowagiac Daily News, Mr. Berkey said: •'At my age I would not be doing if I justice to the college or myself accepted another six year term. It is a job for a young man." His only regret is that he felt he should not stay to bring along a little further the great building and expansion program at the college. "There will always be these problems, though," he added. Engineering Shop Students To Run Production Line A new method of learning machine shop practice, by operating a miniature industrial plant, will be started with me chanical engineering senior, junior, and sophomore students next fall. Under the new plan all three classes in the department will work together on a production line making air compressors. This type of instruction will replace the manual training type now used in which each student works on an individual project, independently of other students. With the course objective for all stu dents to study production methods and work out methods of improvements in processes, senior students will hold top management posts in the small industrial plant. They will be responsible for over all supervision and will study, particular ly, plans production methods. improving for Juniors will act as inspectors, setup men, and exercise other more advanced functions than sophomores who will be the actual machine operators. According to Prof. L. G. Miller, head of mechanical engineering, this change in instructions will provide training that will be practical and up-to-date and, at the same time, adapt present college fa cilities to the greatly increased enroll ment in the engineering school. Qoileae. Placement Oj^ice S&uteA ALututi, StudenU and 9*uluri>uf. Michigan State college is one of the few colleges or universities in the nation that has a completely centralized place ment service to help its graduating se niors and alumni find jobs. Consisting of three sections, the place ment service at State replaces depart mental job placement which was prac ticed until 1943. One section is concerned with jobs in business and industry, one with teacher placement, and the per sonnel section handles the salaried and clerical staff of the college. The nation's industrial and leading business firms have welcomed the estab lishment of the centralized service and have indicated that they are going to recommend to the National Educational that all the larger educa Association tional institutions establish such serv ices. All services of the organization, un der the direction of T. H. King, are free to graduating seniors, alumni, and to the 1,500 to 2,000 business concerns and in dustrial plants that contact or are con tacted by the Central Placement Service each year. "The advantage of having the place ment service complete and centralized is that large firms are interested in fill that require persons of ing positions different education and training," King explained. "We are equipped to refer them to persons who can fill the higher their executive or production businesses down to and including clerical workers." side of Evidence of the success of this system is King's prediction that this year there will be representatives of 60 to 70 firms coming to the campus to interview se niors as compared to an average of 30 in the past few years. "It is gratifying to know," he said, "that Michigan State graduates com pare very favorably with from other schools. One large concern which recently visited the campus in a tour of 80 colleges is going to take four State men after they are graduated, something they say they have never done at any school in any one year since they have been in husiness." those Industries Provide Funds For Varied Research [Michigan State College received gifts totalling $27,546.67, which were accepted by the State Board of Agriculture at its January meeting. The largest grant came from Swift and Company of Chicago, $7,500 for con tinuation of research work in farm milk- house and dairy utensil sanitation di rected by the dairy department. The Upjohn Richland Farms of Rich land, Mich., gave $3,700 to be used for a research project on estrogenic hormone studies by physiology and pharmacology department. The Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company of Chicago gave $2,500 for continuation of research work in mint problems by the botany department. A grant of $2,500 was received from the A. M. Todd Company of Kalamazoo to be used for a continuation of research work on peppermint and spearmint by the botany department. A fellowship for research work in de termining the wholesomeness of a new leavening agent will be financed by a gift of $1,350 from the Victor Chemical Works of Chicago. The research will be directed by the chemistry department. An additional sum of $490 was re ceived from the Estate of La Verne Noyes to be used for LaVerne Noyes Scholarships. The Michigan Real Estate Association gave $300 for a scholarship in real es tate. The Farm Bureau Service gave the college a Debenture Bond of $180. Research work in the Botany depart ment on the control of onion mildew and studies of fungicides will continue, fin anced by grants totaling $750 from the Dow Chemical Company of Midland. The Truscon Laboratories of Detroit gave $266.67 to finance a fellowship in civil engineering to carry out investiga tions on curing concrete. The W. K. Kellogg Foundation, Battle Creek, gave the college an additional $3,000 to be used for completion of a building for caretaker's quarters, labora tory and office at the Kellogg Forestry Tract at Augusta. The $15,000-building, financed mainly by the Kellogg Foun dation, was started several months ago, a part of a program of expanded re search work by the M.S.C. forestry de partment the kind of trees that will grow on various sites in Michigan. in the determination of Barracks Will Provide Classroom Space Contractors have begun preparation of the site for surplus war plant buildings which are soon the campus. to be moved to When reconstructed, the eleven one- story barrack type buildings, from the Federal W7orks Agency, will be used for classrooms, laboratories, and staff offices. They will be placed south of the Red Cedar river just north of the livestock pavilion. The barracks are being moved here from an ammunition plant at Illiopolis, Illinois. The 125,000 square feet of floor space they will provide will partially alle viate the crowded classroom and office situation on the campus. To make the approximately 90 class rooms and 95 offices readily accessible, a new footbridge is to be constructed over the Red Cedar just back of the engi neering building. Mrs. Heppinstall Dies Mrs. Mary Heppinstall, wife of John G.

She had suffered her first attack a year ago, and a second stroke a few days before her death. As George Alderton, Lansing State Journal sports editor, said a few days later, "Mrs. Heppinstall was always a friend to the boys on the athletic teams. Usually in the background, she and Jack were apt to come up at the most needed times to give a helping hand to some student." In addition to her husband she is sur vived by one daughter, Mrs. Mary Nellis, of Flint.

Nicholas Kerhawy Sports Editor .Michigan State college has cut an other niche for itself in the world of intercollegiate sports. On February 8, the Silver anniversary of the Michigan State Relays was ob served. Attracted were more than 500 athletes from 31 universities and col leges the country over. An even dozen Relays records and five Jenison fieldhouse marks fell be fore the assault of the nation's top track and field men. Illinois, Michigan State. Michigan, Ohio State and Texas led the attack in that order. Former students of Michigan State will remember the Relays as the Indoor Track and Field Carnival that originally enrolled state schools. The first meets were staged on the second floor of the gymnasium now occupied by the wom en's physical education department. indoor Relays for In 1943 MSC track coach Karl A. the need for an Schlademan, sensing early intercollegiate teams, along with Athletic Director Ralph H. Young opened the "carnival" to out-of-state teams. Ohio State, Loy ola of Chicago and Notre Dame were the first "guests." Today, the Relays stand as the fore most early-season indoor collegiate meet in the country. More than 5,500 persons who attended last month's show will so attest as have the guest coaches who traveled great distances to enter their track teams. It may be well to give a quick re-cap of the doings. Michigan State's own Fred Johnson took honors by cracking two records, the broad jump at 24-feet, 6% inches and a 8.5-second trial heat in the 75-yard low hurdles. Bill Porter of Northwestern nipped George Walker of Illinois, the Big Nine champion, to win the 75-yard high hurdles in record time of 9.1 seconds.

Zitykl Qa+nel at* '47 tf-aat&all Schedule The 1947 Michigan State college foot ball schedule has been arranged to in clude eight games, five of which will be played in East Lansing. The Spartans will open and close on the road, meeting Michigan on Septem ber 27 in Ann Arbor and Temple on November 15 in Philadelphia. Both teams will play return games in East Lansing in 1948. The Michigan State-Michigan game, subject of widespread controversy dur ing recent weeks, was settled on recom mendations submitted by Spartan ath letic director Ralph H. Young. The two institutions were locked over proposals and counter proposals involv ing an MSC faculty ruling which pro hibits football games to be played in Ann Arbor prior to the opening of classes at Michigan State. Michigan officials, arranging the Wol verine schedule for two years hence, left the last week in September open for Michigan State. They followed by offer ing to play the 1947 game in East Lans ing, the Spartan faculty ruling. thus circumventing It was here that Director Young ap pealed to hi athletic council with the that if Michigan were willing to offer come here in 1947, the Wolverines wouldn't object to a similar trip in 1948. In return, Michigan State would go into Ann Arbor in 1947. Michigan agreed and in 1948 the Wol verines will be making their first foot ball trip to East Lansing since 1924, to play in the proposed new MSC stadium of 50,000 seats. Here is the 1947 schedule: Sept. 27, Michigan at Ann Arbor Oct. 4, Mississippi State at East Lansing Oct. 11, Washington State at Pullman, Wash.

Nine Hopes to Repeat Excellent Record Of Last Year Coach John H. Kobs' baseball team, the aggregation which led all Michigan the won-lost column State sports last year, is getting set to pry loose another season. in Kobs, marking his 23d year on the Spartan campus, has had a record num ber of prospects working indoors while eyeing the southern baseball schedule of 10 games which opens March 21. And, it comes straight from the veteran coach himself that conditions under which his squad has worked out have been most inadequate. Demonstration hall, scene of indoor workouts, has been converted partially into a storage unit. House furnishings, awaiting completion of several building units under construction on campus, oc cupy space Kobs usually sets out into a regulation infield. "We've been getting along the best we can," Kobs declared. "We cleared an area for the netted enclosure which per mits pitching and batting practice but we do not have enough infield." Last season the Spartans went direct ly from indoor practices into the south land, won all nine games, and then wound up the season with a 21-5 record for an .808 percentage for the best in Michigan State baseball history. Kobs is fearful that his team won't be in the best of shape when kicking the lid off the southern schedule against Eastern Kentucky State Teachers. He is hoping for the best in overcoming the lack of suitable indoor practice space. Twelve lettermen are on hand from the 1946 squad including three pitchers, all juniors: Robin Roberts of Springfield, 111., Bill Page of Muskegon and Keith Steffee of Sturgis. Catchers include Eu gene (Bucky) Walsh of Buffalo, N.Y., second best hitter last year, and Pete Fornari of Detroit. Roberts, who pitched an 8-0 no-hitter against Great Lakes last spring, joined the squad following the close of the bas ketball season. Other lettermen include Captain Marty Hansen, Flint shortstop; infielders Dick Mineweaser of Pontiac, Harry Hughes of Detroit, Dick Massuch of Lansing, Nick Gregory of Chicago; outfielders Pat Peppier of Milwaukee and George Rutenbar of Royal Oak. When Michigan State defeated Mar quette, 20 to 0, last fall, it marked the triumph achieved since 100th football the school's name was changed from Michigan Agricultural College in 1925.

The upper picture was taken about 1914 and shows (left) the former Y.M. and Y.W.C.A. build ing and the former Weather bureau building. In the 'twenties, when the present entrance drive was made, the "Y" building was sold and moved off campus. It is now at 901 Abbott road where it is the home of Merrill Jones, assistant librarian. This photograph was donated to the College archives by F. H. Mueller, '14, Grand Rapids, member of the State Board of Agriculture. The lower picture, taken by College Pho tographer Everett N. Huby, shows the inter section as it is today. Now housed in the old Weather bureau are the Placement bureau and the Michigan Press association. After the Weather bureau was moved, the music department occupied the building until the new Music building was erected in 1939. (Below, left) For many years prior to about 1924, in this small office in the northwest corner of the Administration building was conducted much of the business operations of the college. Included were a student banking service and the post office. Seated at the table is the secretary of the State Board of Agriculture, Ira H. Butterfield. A member of the board from 1889 to 1893 and its secretary from 1893 to 1899, he was the father of Kenyon L. Butterfield, '91, who was president of the college from 1924 to 1928. On the left of Secretary Butterfield is his assistant. Fred Kenney. The student in military uniform is not identified, but behind the postal grat ing is Edwin L. Good, '03, who acted as secretary to President J. L. Snyder and later became professor of animal husbandry at the University of Kentucky. Our thanks go to H. W. Hart, '97, for the picture, and to Dr. W. 0. Hedrick, '91, for the identifications. (Below, right). Soon to make way for the Memorial Center is the greenhouse residence which stands east of the Beal Botanic Garden. Here for a half-century lived a man whom the Record, in reporting his death in 1941, referred to as a 'campus institution." In this picture, from the H. W. Hart Collection, are Thomas Gunson and his first wife, seated in his study, which was the Mecca of returning alumni. Scottish- born. Mr. Gunson came to the College in 1891, and he served as superintendent of grounds for more than 30 years and taught horticulture for 20. Quoting from his obituary, written by Alumni Secretary Glen Stewart: " . .. he planted or helped to plant more trees and shrubs on our . . . campus than did any other person; he knew more about college history than any other person knew; he was for years the most popular speaker requested by alumni clubs all over the country . . ."

Seeley, '25 Just a few years before he graduated in 1925 in electrical engineering, Stuart William Seeley, was known around East Lansing as one of the "faculty kids," the son of Dewey Seeley, '98, the "weather man." He lived in the old building at the entrance of the campus, now known as the Placement Center. After graduation he worked for Gen eral Electric company in Schenectady, later returning to Jackson, Michigan, as chief radio engineer for Sparks-Withing- ton company. In 1935 he went to New York as research engineer with Radio Corporation of America and he is at present head of the Industry Service Laboratory of that company. A bit of war-time magic of the short waves, known as "Shoran" and held secret until last spring, was invented by Seeley. It is precision radar, capable of measuring great distances around the globe by shooting out electronic "bullets" from airplanes in the substratosphere. Shoran's method of operating is by firing radio bursts against a distant target, measuring the time difference between the departure of one signal and the return of another from the shoran depot on land, and the translation of the time difference in miles and feet. Distances greater than 500 miles can be measured without the surveying party setting foot on land or even seeing it. The globe- girdling geodetic network thus made possible is expected to create new appre ciation of world-wide proportions. Seeley was given the Modern Pioneers Award in 1940 by the National Associ ation of Manufacturers for outstanding contributions toward the advancement of Stua t W. Seelev. '25 electronics.
