And clearing up of the weather by the third night brought a capacity crowd out for as colorful a carnival as ever has been held. Crowds the first two nights, while large, were short of capacity, but total attendance for than the 10,000. three nights was more the Delta Sigma Phi captured first place award for its float, "School Days." First place in the men's group was won by Snyder hall, making its first entry in the Water Carnival with "Chinatown." Second place for the men went to Delta Chi, which portrayed the recently popu lar "Open the Door, Richard." Women's top honors were won by Kappa Delta with "Old MacDonald Had a Farm," which was turned into some thing like a parody, based on disappear ance of Old Mac's farm in the recent Red Cedar flood. Second place for the women also went to a brand new entry, Landon hall, which based its float on another recent song hit, "The Old Lamp lighter." Honorable mentions for men's groups were awarded to Sigma Alpha Epsilon's "Peter and the Wolf"; Wells hall's "Bi cycle Built for Two"; Kappa Sigma's "Tenting Tonight"; and Theta Chi's "Little David, Play On Your Harp." In the women's group honorable mentions went to Sigma Kappa for "Oklahoma"; Chi Omega for "Mary Had a Little Lamb"; Kappa Alpha Theta for "Old King Cole"; and Alpha Chi Omega for "Shoe Shine Boy." More Space Available Soon Eleven new buildings providing a total of 93 new classrooms and 96 offices for departmental use will be available for use at the opening of school in Septem ber. The group of temporary structures is located on the south side of the Red Cedar river, extending from just south of the river road to the vicinity of the stock judging pavilion. A foot bridge is being built near the forestry cabin to make the new buildings easily accessible. . T HE R E C O RD Winning Water Carnival float was Delta Sigma Phi's "School Days." Photo by Al Bransdorfer Returned Veti Qet Qette* Qla&ei, Veterans in the School of Science and Arts are making better grades now than before the war, according to a survey made by Dean L. C. Emmons. Made "just out of curiosity," the survey shows that as a whole veterans in the school are making significantly better grades now than before the war. Carried out to get some idea of how the years in the armed forces have af the fected student scholastic abilities, survey the indicated a comparison of pre-war and post-war grades of 247 vet erans. On the basis of the credit-point .35 system, credit points during fall and winter terms over their average grades before they left the campus. they averaged a gain of Of the group, only 49 lost an average of .38 credit-point; the other 198 boosted their grades more than half a grade point, averaging a .53 increase. the war are making Some surprising facts were revealed by the study. One of them was that students who were rated "C" or less be fore the biggest improvement in their grades today. On the other hand, those who had high grades before the war seem to have lost similarly high the knack of getting grades now. Here is the proof. There were 47 with a below "C" average in the survey. Now 46 are doing work that averages an in crease of .7 of a credit-point. The one person who slipped .1 of a point. In comparison, the 31 students who were once scholastically tops, with grades between " B" and "A," today show lost only an average loss of .1 credit-point. Six teen of them, however, actually gained an average of .29 grade points during the two terms work. Fifteen made scores averaging .51 less credit-points. Most of the students who have bettered their pre-war "C" grades have explained to Dean Emmons that they now "know what they want to do," and they readily admit that during their former student days their they "weren't really doing best." the slightly Explanation of lower scores of the former high grade scholars life is that absence from an academic and study practices are not easily re captured. Women To Occupy Wells Hall During Fall Term Women will return to Wells hall again in the fall, college housing officials say. Co-eds occupied the old dormitory for a time during the war, and 250 more will be housed there next year. Men already signed up for Wells hall will be trans ferred to Mason-Abbot hall. It is expected also that Phillips hall, second unit of the new men's dormitory at the east end of the campus, will be ready for about 660 men, and that Lan don hall, already partially occupied dur ing spring term, will be ready for its full quota by fall. Neither Yakeley nor Gilchrist dormitories for women will be ready by September, but it is hoped they can be occupied by next winter.

She also has been active as a teacher, and has served edu cational interests well since becoming the first woman ever to be elected to the New Mexico legislature. Of the 12 women honored, 10 attended the anniversary dinner. Mrs. Wolfe and Mrs. Reynolds were unable to come for the event. Portrayed in the Home Economics anniversary pageant in May was a scene in one of Miss Lyford's classes around 1898. On the occasion the teacher had deliv ered some calves' brains, to be used in a cooking experiment—but even the sight of the meat brought dismay to the faces of teacher and pupils alike. For their outstanding achievements twelve from college, since graduation alumnae of the School of Home Eco nomics were presented with suitably in scribed bronze disk paperweights at the golden anniversary banquet held at the college on May 2 as a part of the observ ance of the school. the 50th anniversary of Those honored were: Mrs. Quindara Oliver Dodge, '18, associate professor of institutional man agement at Simmons college, Boston, since 1931.

She has been vice- the American Dietetic president of association, and was on the executive committee of that organization for five years. Miss Mable MacLachlan, '19, director of dietetics at the University hospital, Ann Arbor, since 1932. She completed Sports At State By W. Nicholas Kerbawy Sports Editor Coach Biggie Munn and his staff of assistants are culling results of spring football practice, setting their sights on the fall campaign which gets under way August 25. "I believe we are in accord as having accomplished what we set out to do," Munn said in reviewing early season "They tell me we shattered all drills. records in the number of spring candi dates." Two hundred thirty-five uniforms were issued and daily attendance ran well over a 125 average. When the pressure of spring practice had lifted, several significant items be came evident. They included: 1. Naming Bob McCurry, a center, as captain of the 1947 team. His selection marks the first time in 15 years that MSC has named a team captain for the approaching season. McCurry is a junior from Lewistown, Pa. 2. Selection of Jimmie Blenkhorn as the "most improved" player on the spring squad. Blenkhorn arrived at MSC last year from Saginaw as a top-flight half back. Now, he is a spinning fullback. The award was a handsome gold watch, purchased by the coaches who said the citation will become an annual post- spring practice feature. 3. Expected arrival shortly of MSC's new green and white football uniforms which will replace the customary black and gold uniforms of past years. 4. Preparation of a list of some 70 candidates to be invited to fall practice. Two workouts a day will be observed up to the week of the opening game with Michigan, Sept. 27, at which time the squad will shift into daily practices. 5. Plans for a junior varsity and freshman teams, and undoubtedly a team of "lightweights" for lads weighing 150 pounds or less who will play a schedule of their own. It is evident that Munn and his aides are not discussing openly the value of their player-inventory. They are reticent when it comes to speculation, or even in making predictions for the new cam paign other than "every game will be a tough one, and we'll be out to win as many as we can." They don't mean to construe a warn ing when they say, "We'll lose some, too." But, they follow with "Every now and then we'll win one which the smart boys predicted we shouldn't win." 10 . .. . T HE R E C O RD For the first time in 15 years the Spartan gridders will have a full-time captain next fall. Bob McCurry, center from Lewistown, Pa., was elected to the post by his teammates at the close of the spring practice sessions. He is pictured here with Coach Clarence L. (Biggie) Munn.

Rifle- armed and possessing a good batting eye, Hansen led the Spartans to a 16-8 record this year. A senior from Flint, Hansen has been a mainstay of the team for the past three years. Bob Schepers, ace sprinter from Mc- Bain, Mich., was named captain of the 1948 track team. Honorary captains for teams of the past spring include Roger Cessna of Lansing, tennis, arM Robert Billig of Dearborn, golf. Women's tennis classes at the college this year have adopted a visual aids plan all their own. Motion pictures were taken of the students, and they watched play-backs to learn about their mistakes Ex-Captain's Sales Message Brought McCurry To MSC Dick Mangrum, take a bow! Mangrum, honorary captain of MSC's football team in 1942, paved the way for Robert B. McCurry to become the Spar tans' first team captain for the season in 15 years. "I had no choice, it seems," explains McCurry. "I played service football with Mangrum and all he talked about was State, State, State. So, I came to State." Honorary team captains ended when Ccach Biggie Munn authorized returning lettermen to name a team leader for the approaching season. MSC abandoned the policy of electing grid captains a year in advance when Harold Smead, now an outstanding prep coach at Pontiac, was injured in an auto accident after his selection. That was in 1932. It is coincidence that honorary captains should begin with Smead and end with McCurry. Smead was a center as is McCurry. The student body is planning to take another try at a "flash card" system for the cheering section at next fall's foot ball games. Popular at the University of California, Stanford, UCLA, and In diana State, the students at MSC see no reason why it shouldn't work here.

Jackson Towne reported to the Friends what has been done during the year to add to the library's collection of rare books. Largest addition of the year, he declared, is the Ray Stannard Baker col lection of rare bee books. This group, consisting of 57 books, was given to the college last summer after Baker's death on July 12. Baker graduated from Michi gan State in 1889. Towne also announced a gift of $200 from Mrs. Elma Stevens, wife of the late Alva Stevens, '93, to establish a class memorial collection somewhat similar to the Kains memorial collection donated to the library by members of the class of 1895. Colton Storm, curator of manuscripts for the Clements library in Ann Arbor, the recently published and author of book, "Invitation to Book Collecting," addressed the group on the motives and pleasures of collecting books. 25 Years of Service for WEAR to Twenty-five years of service the people of the state of Michigan will be observed by WKAR this summer. On August 18, 1922, the first federal license was granted the college station, permit ting it to operate on a frequency of 834 cycles (in that day the more popular way was to say on a wave length of 360 meters), with a power of 250 watts. thus will be able Since that day the college station has become one of the most powerful sta tions in the state, with all the latest engineering developments to as sist it in serving Michigan resi dents. In fact, a month ago, on June 3, the Federal Communica tions commission approved the state's application for a permit to operate on an FM basis. WKAR to broadcast FM programs, on un limited time, with a power of 3,000 watts, in addition to main taining its AM broadcasts. feeble begin the the nings of broadcasting on formal campus pre-date granting of the license in Au gust 1922. Some of the engi neering students had decided to tinker with this new thing called radio. Pranksters they were termed by those who did not fully appreciate the possibilities in this new field of com munication. Actually the Early Programs Informal Although their engineering work was they of a serious nature, pranksters could well be called for the programs they soon began to broadcast. Listeners within a 12 mile radius of the campus soon were somewhat startled to hear ribald songs, jokes, and stories over their radio sets. The student experimenters had hoped only to reach an audience in Wells hall and had adjusted their pro grams accordingly. But their power had exceeded their hopes and off-campus listeners also heard the broadcasts. Even before establishing its own sta tion on a formal basis, the college had perceived radio. the possibilities in Howard C. Rather, then professor of farm crops and now dean of the Basic college, delivered the first in a series of in De agricultural troit. talks over WWJ, After the WKAR license was granted, interested staff members and students in the electrical engineering department undertook to develop the first transmit ter. This was operated on a limited schedule for about two years. Then, in 1924, WWJ again entered the picture by turning over to the college its old 500 watt equipment. On January 12, 1924, WKAR was licensed to permit the use of the increased power. Its Through the next few years the col lege station went through a rather hectic period. frequently channel was changed, as were its power and the hours it was permitted to broadcast. Through it all the attempts farm service programs were continued, and the groundwork was laid for WKAR's development as an outstanding public to broadcast Studio Scene About 1925 In 1925, the station service medium. established organized courses in agricul ture, with tremendous enrollments. In 1934 the college moved toward re habilitating the station's status. For a short period prior to that date broadcast ing had been limited to about half-hour every noon and an hour each afternoon. In October of 1934 a new schedule of broadcasts was inaugurated, to be under the direction of Robert J. Coleman, newly appointed director of radio. The new programs were designed to provide edu cational material and entertainment for the general public, although continuing to stress farm service. Studios In Auditorium On January 14, 1935, the station was shifted to the 850 kilocycle band. It now operates on the 870 spot on the dial, a channel which is comparatively clear in this area, and permits broadcasting in the daytime almost without interference to Michigan listeners. Besides its programs from the campus at East Lansing, WKAR has cooperated with the the various departments of state government to bring regularly scheduled broadcasts, as well as special programs, to the citizens of the state. in Lansing A steady increase in interest in WKAR programs brought such a demand for more power to cover a wider area, that in 1937 the college requested an increase in power to 5,000 watts and full daytime the power hours. The FCC approved boost, and that is the power on which the station now operates. to handle When the college auditorium was built in 1940, new studios for WKAR were included. At about the same time a new transmitter the 5,000 watt power was built south of the river. The new service was inaugurated June 6, 1940, and WKAR thereafter was able to reach 86 percent of the state's population with its programs. At this same time the radio service was established as a separate department. Previously the technical phases had been under the direction of the build ings and grounds department, and the programming under the publications department. At the present time WKAR is operating on the fullest sched ule it has ever attempted. The is on the air 12 station now through hours a day Monday Saturday, and five more hours on Sunday, or a total of 77 hours per week. A staff of 34 full-time persons, 12 of and the other 22 students, now operates what at one time was done by three or four persons. them FM To Increase Service The station still is primarily concerned with the dissemination of helpful pro grams for the state, the farmers of working as a part of the agricultural extension service. However, WKAR also includes in its program many programs of an entertaining nature, ranging from early morning record shows, to the col lege's major sporting events, and college band and orchestra concerts. The addition of FM facilities will in crease the station's ability to serve. The station for some time has been seeking to broadcast during evening hours over its AM transmitter, and it is still hoped that the additional time will be granted if the wave-band can be cleared. Director Coleman does not know yet when the FM broadcasts will start, as new equipment must be purchased and installed. However, it is hoped that early in 1948 WKAR will be ready to use the additional facilities. Broadcasts over AM facilities also will continue, Coleman explains. Thus, in its 25 year history, WKAR has developed from what was a sideline experiment by a small group of students, into a station that is now preparing to use the most modern facilities to carry its service to the people of Michigan.

Riding the Big Wheels in this picture are the students of the 1910 camp. Board was $3 a week and the 10x12 tents were equipped with two iron bedsteads, two chairs, table, broom, lantern, oil and matches. Most of the observations of logging prac tices were made at the Sailing & Hanson Company's camp eight miles north, where this picture was taken. Since 1925 the camp has been at the Dunbar Experiment Station. (Left) These home economics majors, on a winter morning in 1930, are about to board what may have been considered a luxurious bus. Its destination remains a mystery. We are told that the group might be going to the woclen milb in Eaton Rapids—save that most of the students are nutrition majors. Again, that the bus could have been headed for the Eastern Market in Detroit— save that such trips started at 4 in the morning and the sun is up in this picture.

H a t* Congressman Jesse Wolcott Gives Collier Award Money To MSC the agency Michigan State college was designated as the $10,000 to receive awarded Congressman Jesse P. Wolcott, of Port Huron, for distinguished Con gressional service by Collier's magazine. The gift was accepted by the state board of agriculture at its June meeting. The $10,000 is to be invested by the college as a permanent trust fund, the Jesse P. Wolcott Blackstone Photo income to be used each year for the pay ment of the Wolcott scholarships. The scholarships will be made available year ly to at least two students, residents of Michigan, at their sophomore years. The winners will be selected by the faculty scholarship com mittee and the dean of the Basic college on the basis of need and demonstrated ability. the beginning of Wolcott was given the honor by a jury of nationally-known men and women for his "remarkable sanity" in working at the war's end for the stimulation of in dustrial production and a gradual relax ation of wartime controls. The Collier's award goes each year to the outstanding member of each house in Congress. Former Senator LaFollette, of Wisconsin, won the award for the Senate this year. Husbands and Wives at State Put O.K. On Marriage isn't There any doubt about the attitude of young married couples at Michigan State college their marriages. Professor Judson T. Landis, of department of effective living, says. His opinions are based on a survey con ducted among the married students and their wives. toward In answer to the often-asked question, "Would you do it all over again, know ing what you know now?," 77 percent of the responses very definitely said yes. That makes like three to one in favor of marriage, even under the hardships imposed by living in trailer camps, temporary barracks, apartments, and similar close quarters. the score something The results do reveal one thing. The wives would be more willing to repeat history if they had a chance to relive it, than would the men students. For 83 percent of the wives said they would marry again, given the chance to go back, while only 71 percent of the men gave like approval. This, says Professor Landis, isn't be cause the women are any more satisfied with the bargain they struck. Rather, he feels, it is because of a sense of chiv alry on the part of the men. Many of the men students feel they haven't done the best they could by the little woman, and, given the chance to go back, they would wait until college days were over before marrying. is This claim by Professor Landis based on other reactions shown in the survey. The men have just as few com plaints about their marriages as have the women. Their unwillingness to re peat the performance is not because of any personal feeling toward the wife, but is mostly based on a feeling that the husband wasn't living up to his time- honored responsibility of supporting his own family. But do the women feel that they are making any sacrifice by living under campus conditions? Professor Landis got an answer to that one when he asked the wives: "Do you feel that your hus band appreciates your sacrifice while he is in school?" Ninety-five percent of the wives said yes, but most of them also inserted they didn't the comment that feel there was any sacrifice involved. Husbands, too, had a special question that they voted for overwhelmingly. The count was 96 percent against four per cent when the questionnaire asked if the husband felt the wife is a help in his efforts to get a degree. Professor Landis will use results of this survey in making his lectures on marriage in the department of effective living, in the Basic college at Michigan State. His students in those courses thus receive the benefit of first-hand advice from those who already have taken the step and family. establishing home toward finishing school perhaps If students now unmarried need any justification for deciding to marry now before the answer to another query would serve. Professor Landis asked the married cou ples to tell what advice they would give a friend who felt he wanted to marry while in college. The answer? Well, 31 percent were uncertain, and refused to jump one way cr another, as they pointed out it made a difference who the people were, etc. But of those who did speak right up, 63 percent of the total said they'd definitely give the go ahead sign to the friend, while only six percent said they'd sug gest waiting. That seems to indicate a fairly general approval of marriage for college students. WitU 1U Vacuity: Denver Professor Heads Speech Department Dr. Wilson B.
