Spartan  spirit's  spurtin'! 
The  old-timers  who come  back  to  the  campus  and  talk  of 
the  good  old  days  won't  have  much  on  the  current  crop  of 
students.  Some  of those  historic  pep rallies  we've  heard  about 
have  been  equalled  if  not  surpassed  by  the  deeds  of  the 
students  this  fall. 

But  aside  from  the  almost  riotous  affairs  that  have  drawn 
fairly  wide  attention,  it  is  quite  noticeable  that  there  is  a 
healthy  enthusiasm  underlying  all  the  excitement.  Frankly, 
we  can  recall  few  times  when  i-eal  good  school  spirit  has 
reached  its  current  peak. 

Maybe  the  improved  record  of  the  football 

team  is 
largely  responsible  for  the  change,  but  we're  not so  sure 
even  that  can claim  all the credit.  Even  in the week  fol 
lowing  the  Michigan  disaster  there  was  more  than  an 
undercurrent  of  enthusiasm  among 
the  students.  Of 
course,  the  continued  streak  of  frood  performance  by the 
gridders  has  helped  maintain  the  enthusiasm. 
It's  rather  difficult  to  put  a  finger  on  just  what  we  mean. 
School  spirit  isn't  always  reflected  in  wild,  shouting  displays. 
It  is something  that  almost  must  be felt—without  really  know 
ing  why.  It's that  kind  of  wholesome  school  spirit  that  seems 
to  permeate  the campus  this  fall.  We're  happy  to  see it, and 
hope  it  continues  for  many  years  to  come—in  and out of the 
football  season. 

The  pep meetings,  of  course,  have  reflected  this  spirit.  All 
held  this  fall  have  been  well  attended.  The  students  have 
been  so filled  with  zip, zam,  and zest,  that  they  have  not been 
satisfied  to  call  it  a  night  after  about  45 minutes  of  cheering, 
snake  dances  have 
singing,  skits,  etc.  So,  old-fashioned 
formed  to  carry  the  celebrations  into  the  business  and  resi 
dential  sections  of  East  Lansing. 

There  crowds  amounting  close  to  the  5,000  mark  have 
continued  to  cheer,  sing,  and generally  carry  on for  three 
to  four  hours  after  the "formal"  pep-meetings  have  ended. 

East  Lansing  police,  for  the most  part,  have  been  congenial 
about  it  all.  They  allowed  the students  full  sway  for the  first 
couple  of  parties,  and  restrained 
them  only  when  students 
joined  to  block  through  traffic.  After  the  first  time  or two 
that  difficulty  arose  over  this  stunt,  the  students  cooperated 
and  dropped  that  phase  of  the  program. 

The  last  couple  of  pep-meetings  were  held  without  untoward 
incident.  The  more  rambunctious 
type  of  enthusiasm  was 
voluntarily  curbed,  and  cheers  and  singing  centered  attention 
on  the approaching  football  battles.  But the  spirit  remains— 
even  now, with  the  grid  season  at  an  end, there's  still  that 
highly  desirable  enthusiasm  to  remind  us  of  earlier  days  in 
campus  history. 

We  think  the outstanding  display  of  spirit  was the  welcom 
ing  party  that  greeted  Biggie  Munn  and his  boys  when  they 
returned  from  the  Washington  State  victory. 

Originally  scheduled  to  return  some  time  before  mid 
night  of  Sunday,  October  12,  the  team  actually  didn't 

arrive  until  after  1 a.m.  on Monday.  Students  had  started 
to  gather  to  welcome  the  team  much  earlier,  and  when 
the  traveling  squad  finally  arrived  more  than  500  were 
still  on hand  to  cheer  the returning  heroes. 

Humor,  of  course,  reared  its welcome  head  even  in the  midst 
of  some  of the more  raucous  parades  through  town.  A  bon-fire 
built  at  the  corner  of  M.A.C.  and  Grand  River  brought  the 
East  Lansing  fire  department  in  a  rush.  After  clearing  the 
spectators  away  from  the path  of  the chemical  hose,  the  fire 
men  turned  said  hose  on.  You can guess  the  volume  of  roars 
that  welcomed  a  very  tiny  stream  that  barely  poured  out of 
the  hose. 

On  another  occasion,  the  policeman  on  duty  keeping  Grand 
River  traffic  moving  in  spite  of  students  lining  both  curbs did 
a  little  extracurricular  duty.  In between  waving  cars  through, 
he  would  stop  to  lead  the  two or  three  thousand  students  in 
college  yells. 

Speaking  of  traffic,  eastbound  traffic  on  Michigan  and 
Grand  River  has been  expedited—possibly  at  the  expense 
of  East  Lansing  residents.  Parking  has now been  banned 
on  the  south  side  of  the  two  main  thoroughfares 
from 
Harrison  road  to  the  end  of  the  boulevard  near  the  east 
end  of  town.  Traffic  moves  better,  but  the  parking  situ 
ation  has  not  improved.  Cars  usually  are  lined  up  for 
about  two  blocks  each  street  running  north  from  Grand 
River. 

This  issue  of  the  RECORD  marks  the  end  of  the  present 
editor's  reign.  In fact,  the  finishing  touches  on  this  issue  will 
be  in someone  else's  hands.  Copy  went  to the printer  the  first 
week  in  November,  some  of  the  touching  up  was  done,  and 
then  yours  truly  bowed  out  on  November  15,  returning  to 
Pontiac  to  assume  a  post  as  city  editor  of  the  Pontiac  Daily 
Press. 

It  has been  more  than  a  pleasure  to put out the eight  issues 
we  have  handled—or,  to be more  exact,  the seven  and one-half 
issues. 
It  has  been  equally  pleasant  to  have  been  back  on 
the  campus,  where  we  have  had  more  than  an  inside  look  at 
the  tremendous  developments  that  have  made  and are  continu 
ing  to  make  Michigan  State  one  of  the  greatest  colleges  in 
the  land. 

We  know  that  each  and  every  one  of  you  among  the 
alumni  would  have  appreciated  the  same  chance  to  see 
our  new-old  college  in  these  great  days.  We  know  that 
if  you could  have  been  here,  as we have  the past  year and 
one-half,  you Mould  have  the same  feeling  of  pride  in the 
college  that  we  carry  away  as  we  leave  for  other  fields. 
We  sincerely  hope  that  through  the  RECORD  we have  been 
able  to  carry  to  you  some  measure  of  this  feeling  we  hold. 
We  hope  you have  enjoyed  the RECORD  under  our editorship. 
We  know  you can look  forward  to  a  continually  better  maga 
zine,  designed  to  bring  you news  of  your  alumni  friends,  and 
also  of  the college,  as  it  continues  its  upward  march.

Alumni  Council  In Annual  Meeting 

"We  are  meeting  here  today,  as  repre 

fellow 

alumni, 

sentatives  of  our 
to 
consider  those  things  which  will,  during 
the  coming  year,  bring  increased  security 
to  the  standards  upheld  by  our  Alma 
Mater." 

With  these  words,  Ellsworth  B.  More, 
'16,  council  chairman,  opened  the  third 
annual  meeting  of  the  Alumni  Advisory 
council  on  November  7  in 
the  Union 
Memorial  building  on  the  campus.  The 
council  recommends  policies  and  aims 
and  coordinates  all  phases  of  alumni 
activity. 

More  Reviews  1947 
"During  1947,"  More  continued,  "the 
Alumni  Advisory  council  added  five  new 
alumni  clubs  to  the  roster  of  more  than 
40  clubs  in  existence  at  the  start  of  the 
year.  In  addition,  members  of  the  coun 
cil  have  worked  closely  with 
the  Me 
morial  Center  Fund  committee  and  with 
the  committees  in  42  states  and  in  15 
alumni  club  areas  working 
in  support 
of  the  fund  program." 
Chairman  More 

introduced  Dr. 
Floyd  W.  Owen,  '02,  general  chairman 
of  the  Fund,  who  gave  a  report  of  the 
Fund  progress  since  the  start  of 
the 
program  in  mid-April.  Owen  stated  that 
more 
the  needed 
$300,000  has  already  been  subscribed  by 
alumni,  students,  faculty,  and  friends  of 
the  college.

then 

In  recognition  of  his  fine  service  to  the  alumni  body  and  to  the  college, 
Ellsworth  B.  More,  '16,  retiring  council  chairman,  was  presented  a  framed 
colored  photograph  of  Beaumont  Tower  by  Lee  O.  Benner,  '12,  new  council  head. 
Enjoying  More's  surprise  at  the  presentation  are:  (1.  to  r.)  Mrs.  Dorothy 
Robinson  Ross,  '28,  council  member  from  Kenmore,  N.  Y.;  Dr.  John  A.  Hannah, 
'23,  president  of  the  college;  Mr.  Benner,  and  Dr.  Floyd  W.  Owen,  '02,  general 
chairman  of  the  Memorial  Center  Fund. 

Memorial  Fund  Heads  Projects 
"The  need  for  the  Memorial  Center  on 
our  campus  is  urgent,"  Dr.  Owen  stated, 
"for  the  cause  of  peace  among  men  must 
be  paramount 
to  all  other  phases  of 
human  endeavor.  Our  efforts  as  alumni 
supporting  'a  living  plan  for  peace,'  must 
carry  on  through  1948 with  the  fine  spirit 
in  which  the  project  was  started.  We 
will  be,  then,  destined  for  success." 

Dr.  Owen  complimented  More  and 
members  of  the  council  on  their  plans 
to  strengthen  alumni  groups  by  co 
ordinated  programs,  dissemination  of  in 
formation 
regarding  alumni  placement 
services  at  the  college,  the  availability 
of  undergraduate  scholarships,  and  many 
other  activities. 

Benner,  '12,  Elected  1948  Chairman 
The  final  point  of  order  on  the  council 
agenda  was  the  election  of  Lee  O.  Benner, 
'12,  of  Lansing,  a  council  member  for 
the  past  two  years,  to  the  council  chair 
manship  replacing  Ellsworth  B.  More, 
'16,  of  Marshall,  who  will  become  a  mem 
ber  of  the  State  Board  of  Agriculture  on 
January  1,  1948. 

The  announcement  of  the  election  of 
Benner  was  made  at  the  dinner  meeting 
of the  annual  club presidents  assembly.  At 
their  regular  session,  the  members  of  the 
Assembly  then  voted  three  members  of 

the  alumni  body  to  assume  places  on  the 
Alumni  Advisory  council.  One  retiring 
the  council,  Mrs.  Frances 
member  of 
Buth  Lamoreaux,  '34,  of  Grand  Rapids, 
was  reelected  to  a  three  year  term  of 
office. 

The  three  new  members  are:  William 
the 
L.  Davidson,  former  president  of 
Chicago  Alumni  club,  associated  with 
the  American  City  Bureau,  221  North 
LaSalle  St.,  Chicago,  2,  Illinois;  Coy 
G.  Eklund,  '39,  agency  manager,  Equita 
ble  Life  Assurance  Society,  25th  floor, 
Penobscot  building,  Detroit,  26,  Michi 
gan;  and  Mrs.  Maribel  McKnight  Parker, 
'26,  Box  268,  Bloomfield  Hills,  Michigan. 
The  new  members  will  serve  on 
the 
council  until  November,  1950.

Council  Chairman  Ellsworth  B.  More 
presided  over  the  discussions  which  in

cluded  consideration  of 
meetings  and  functions, 
the  ways  and

use  of  Founders  Day,  February  12,  as  a 
basis  for  annual  alumni  meetings  across 
the  country,  and  the  role  of  the  club  in

Glen  O,  Stewart, 

'17,  director  of 
alumni  relations,  distributed  a  recently 
prepared  Handbook  for  Officers  of  M.S.C. 
Alumni  Clubs.  The  points  covered  by  the 
handbook  were  reviewed  by  Mr.  Stewart. 

1948  Holds  Challenge 
As  the  concluding  feature  of  the  two 
day  session,  Lee  0.  Benner, 
'12,  newly 
elected  chairman  of  the  Alumni  Advisory 
council,  called  on  members  of  the  council 
and  of  the  club  presidents  assembly  to 
renew  their  efforts  during  1948  to  build 
an  organization  of  alumni  who,  by  then-
interest  in  their  Alma  Mater,  will  stimu 
late  and  bring  credit  to  all  groups  sup 
porting  the  activities  of  institutions  of 
higher  learning. 

"It  is  a  real  challenge,"  Benner  con 
cluded,  "but  we  have  the  potential  and 
the  will  to  do  the  job."

Business  Ad  Graduates  Are 

Making  Good  Money 

"Yes, 

sir,  we'd  send  our  sons  or  daugh 
ters  to  Michigan  State  to  study  business 
administration." 

that 

So  said  more  than  80  percent  of  the 
business  administration  graduates  of  the 
past  14  years  who  replied  to  question 
naires  sent  out  by  Dr.  F.  K.  Hardy,  of 
that  department's  faculty. 
And  why  shouldn't 

these  graduates 
their  education  at  Michigan 
feel 
State  had  proved  valuable  to  them?  The 
average  monthly 
the  451 
alumni  who  responded  is  $373.74.  Based 
on  the  survey,  Dr.  Hardy's  opinion  is 
that  most  business  administration  gradu 
ates  can  expect  about  $100  a  month 
boost  in  income  every  five  months  after 
graduation. 

income  for 

Lowest  incomes,  of  course,  were  re 
ported  by  the  more  recent  graduates. 
Those  from  the class of  1946, for  instance, 
average  $264.29.  The  last  pre-war  class 
of  1941  reported  an  average  monthly  in 
come  of  $390.38.  Going  back  still  a  few 
the  class  of  1936  has  an 
more  years 
average  monthly  pay-check  of  $435.48. 

"The  college  may  well  be  proud  of  the 
prosperity  of  its  business  administration 
graduates,"  says  Dr.  Hardy,  "despite  the 
interruptions  of  the  war,  which  is  clearly 
reflected  in  these  reports.  More  than  90 
percent  of  the  graduates  are  engaged  in 
business,  and  many  others  employed  in 
the  armed  forces  or  in  government  re 
port  they  are  engaged  in  official  business 
administration." 

Largest  earnings  were  reported  by  re 
tailers.  Some  of  this  income,  of  course. 

comes  from  inherited  capital  investment 
as  well  as  income  from  personal  services. 
The  selling  field  reports  the  next  highest 
average  income. 

Quite  noticeable 

in  the  reports  was 
the  fact  that  little  business  provides  a 
more  lucrative  opportunity  for  business 
administration  graduates  than  does  big 
business.  Employees  of  large  corpora 
tions  are  averaging  $358.64  per  month, 
while  those  self-employed  or  in  small 
family  business  average  $452.52  per 
month. 

The  survey  was  drawn  up  so  as 

to 
the  graduates  on 
bring  comment  from 
the  value  of  the  various  courses 
they 
took  at  State.  On  the  whole,  the  gradu 
ates  approved  most  of  the  courses  they 
had  been  required  to  take. 

The  value  of  knowing  how  to  write  and 
to  speak  was  indicated  by  a  vote  of  168 
to  one  in  favor  of  courses  in  business 
writing  and  speech.  Accounting  courses 
were  favored  by  148  to  8, industrial  man 
agement  by  53 to  16, marketing  and  sales 
by  106  to  9,  and  retailing  by  64  to  11. 
Although  the  vote  on  secretarial  courses 
was  only  22  to  20,  there  were  many  who 
suggested  that  all  women  be  required  to 
take  this  type  of  course. 

Outside 

the  department  of  business 
administration,  the  graduates  approved 
courses 
in  mathematics  and  statistics, 
psychology,  and  cultural  courses.  Psy 
chology  was  considered  particularly  valu 
able,  because  of  the  need  for  a  man  in 
business 
to 
get  along  with  others.

The  foreign  students  come  from  every 
continent  on  the  globe  except  Australia, 
and  by  stretching  a  point  to  include  New-
Zealand  it  too  would  be  on  the  list.  India

follows  with  32,  China  with  30,  and 
Hawaii  follows  with  18.  Total  foreign

Strangely  enough  the  sophomore  class 
is  the  largest  on  the  campus,  outnumber

Spirit  Hits  Peak  For  Homecoming! 

A  queen,  a  record-breaking  pep-rally,  an  alumni 
Varsity  Club  gathering,  a  pre-game  stag  smoker, 
beautiful  house  decorations,  a  winning  football  team, 
lots  of  rain,  reunions,  and  a  big  dance—and  there 
you  have  the  1947  Homecoming! 

Reviving  all  annual  Homecoming  Traditions  and 
adding  a  few  more,  a  new  record  was  set  when  more 
than  20,000  old  ?rads  and  students  sat  through  a 
heavy  "California  fog"  to  see  the  Spartans  conquer 
Iowa  State  21  to  0.  Even  the  1.48  inches  of  rainfall 
didn't  stop  the  old  grads  from  huddling  around  class 
banners  to  meet  on  the  field  after  the  game. 

the  keynote  at 

Informality  was 

the  pre-game 
smoker  at  the  Hotel  Olds  Friday  night.  Clyde  Olin, 
'28,  president  of  the  M.S.C.  Alumni  Club  of  Central 
Michigan,  welcomed  the  guests  and  introduced  Jack 
Sepanek,  *25, general  chairman,  and  Glen  O.  Stewart, 
'17,  director  of  alumni 
relations.  Ralph  Young, 
Biggie  Munn,  and  Nick  Kerbawy  all  spoke,  and 
Forest  Evashevski  and  Hugh  Daugherty 
showed 
movies  of  the  Washington  State  game. 

Many  small  parties  at  the  houses  filled  the  early 
evening  hours  while  the  big  Homecoming  Dance  at 
the  college  Auditorium  attracted  a  capacity  crowd 
of  3,000.

Hannah  Urges  More 
Junior  Colleges 

Establishment  of  a  state-wide  regional 
junior  college  system  as  a  solution  for 
the  current  needs  of  higher 
many  of 
education  was 
recently  proposed  by 
President  John  A.  Hannah  at  a  state 
meeting  of  junior  college  people. 

"I  believe  there  should  be  a  state-wide 
regional  junior  college  organization  that 
would  place  a  junior  college  within  35 
miles  of  the  maximum  possible  number 
of  our  total  population,  with  a  minimum 
of  500 to  700  students  per  junior  college," 
the  president  said. 

than 

"These  junior  colleges  should  be  estab 
lished  and  maintained  to  serve  regions 
rather 
individual  municipalities; 
they  should  be  under  local  control,  with 
only  enough  state  supervision  to  insure 
uniformity  and  coordination  where  re 
quired,  and  they  should  be  operated  as 
separate  colleges,  not  as  overgrown  high 
schools,"  he  explained  further. 

Such  a  network  of  schools  would  pro 
vide  a  partial  answer  to  the  almost  im 
possible  situation  that  is  developing  in 
the  state's  higher  education  program. 
"Our  present  colleges  are  becoming  more 
and  more  overcrowded," 
the  president 
said.  "It  will  be  impossible  and  imprac 
tical  to  enlarge  those  colleges  sufficiently 
to  care  for  all  those  who  seek  and  deserve 
admission." 

President  Hannah  also  cited  the  grow 
ing  demand  for  two-year  college  courses 
as  one  that  might  well  be  met  by  re

emphasis  on  adult  education  is  another

The  president  went  on:  "It  is  my  sin

There's  a  little  bit  of  Michigan  State 

at  Marshall  again  this  fall. 
Some  17  co-eds  majoring 

in  elemen 
tary  education  are  spending  the  current 
term  there  in  a  community  study  under 
the  direction  of  Dr.  Troy  L.  Stearns, 
associate  professor  of  education. 

The  community  study  idea  took  form 
about  four  years  ago  and  has  grown  in 
stature  until  it  is  recognized  as  one  of 
training 
the  most  important  phases  of 
of  future  pedagogues.  It  is  rather  un 
usual,  too,  since  few  colleges  other  than 
Michigan  State  have  the  plan.

This 

is  the  description  of  Michigan

the  bowl-shape  structure  capable  of  seat

There's  a  personal  relationship  between 
Vanderburg  and  his  newest  superintend

Michigan  State's  greatest  football  teams 
'30s  before  entering  heavy 
of  the  mid 
construction  work  as  an  engineer. 

It  is  his  task,  now,  to  personally  direct 
the  expansion  of  Macklin  Field  stadium, 
home  of  Michigan  State  football,  and  to 
have  it  ready  by  the  opening  of  the  1948 
grid  season. 

The  present  east  and  west  stands, 
which  run  along  the  gridiron  sidelines, 
each  are  to  be  increased  from  46  to  67 
rows,  while  the  north  and  south  stands, 
formerly  of  11  rows  each,  will  be  in

and  west  stands.  A  double-decked  press
