President Hannah outlined his views before a meeting of the Wisconsin Ex tension Service Conference at the Uni versity of Wisconsin. "We would do well," he declared, "to think of the ultimate consumer of farm products and how we might benefit him when we plan our research programs." He suggested that Extension programs include home demonstration among ur ban families as well as those in rural areas. "Perhaps by broadening our horizons and including other classes of citizens in our great work of education, we can help close some of the rifts in our social struc ture here in America, and so give the world a demonstration of unity of spirit and resolution."

Brandstatter, '38, former assistant head of the department of police administration, was named head of the department by the State Board of Agriculture at its November meeting.

"The Need Is Urgent'' - Council Chairman Benner "The need for the Memorial Center on our campus is urgent," Lee O. Benner, '12, Council Chairman, stated before a meeting of the Alumni Advisory Council, "for the cause of peace among men must be paramount to all other phases of human endeavor." 'living plan for "In supporting our peace,' alumni, students, faculty, and friends have expressed a realization of the primary function of higher education today—the development of a moral, edu cated man capable of intelligent world citizenship." Benner pointed out that in the short time which has elapsed since the ap proval of the chapel-international house type of memorial by the Alumni Advis ory Council, the need for the Memorial Center by our students has become more immediate. "The need is today's need, for it is the responsibility of the colleges representa and universities and tives to provide a firm road out of world chaos and misunderstanding," Benner concluded. their Among the First The Memorial Center plan at Michigan State has become recognized as one of the finest and truest examples of "living memorials" yet proposed by any group. The Michigan State alumni group is among the first to undertake the estab lishment of a center where American students can work and study with stu dents from every corner of the globe. The need is expressed in the fact that student organizations nearly a dozen have as their prime objective the encour agement of cooperation among peoples of all nationalities. The main discussion room of the International House will provide adequate space for large group meetings of American students and students from 41 different nations as well as serving as a general reception room. Here the leaders of tomorrow's world will learn the real meaning of understanding and cooperation. The names of the 340 Michigan State men who gave their lives during World War II will be inscribed in stone in a simple frieze around the walls of the narthex of the Memorial Chapel. The Service Book listing the names of all who served and the Donors Book with the names of all who subscribe to the memorial project will also be kept in the Chapel. At the present time, there are more than 250 students from 41 different na tions on the campus. From Burma and El Salvador, from Norway and Peru, these students have brought with them their customs, their ideas, and their prob lems, and an eagerness to understand those factors of individual freedom which have made America strong. The International House will not pro vide housing for foreign students but will accommodate groups for discussions, meetings, and study. "In contrast to our leadership in the field of understanding," Walter W. Neller, '28, Fund Vice Chair- international man, has stated, "we are among the last of college alumni groups to provide our students with a campus chapel open at all times to all faiths. We have neglected our responsibility to equip today's youth and tomorrow's leaders with the spiri tual, philosophical, and moral approach to personal and communal problems so necessary if we are to achieve good will among men." The Memorial Chapel will present a feeling of welcome to all faiths. By vir tue of the simplicity of its design, the Chapel holds only to the philosophy of freedom of worship—"each in his own way." In the narthex of the chapel will be kept the Service Book, listing the names of all who served in the armed forces during World War II, and the Donors Book which will contain the names of all who subscribe to the Memorial Center In the interior of the chapel, the Fund. chancel, pews, and choir stalls will be in keeping with the edifice. the simple style of the campus, State Aid Not Applicable Long felt by many alumni to be the outstanding need on the chapel will serve to fill the lack of a building religious purposes. And only by the support of a giving program among students, alumni, faculty, and friends will Michigan State ever have a chapel on the campus since state appro priations will not fill such a need. for Because of their purpose, neither the Memorial Chapel nor the International House will provide a source of revenue. Full participation in a voluntary giving plan is the only solution to an urgent need.

But note the contrast (right) as the boys emerged from the plane at Hawaii. Coach Biggie Munn and President Hannah (far left, second row) are right in the spirit of things, too. (Photo by F. J.

On the field, Green and White-clad Spartans of Michigan State College and the Green-suited Rainbows of Hawaii were shaking hands and exchanging comment.

As the Spartans walked down the steps from their plane. they were greeted by strains of the MSC Fight song, played by the University of Hawaii band. <~heers rose from the receiving crowd. A bevy of about 50 University coeds, each armed with the Hawaiian lei. moved in to decorate the visitors. MSC alumni residing in Hawaii were prominent in the crowd. Handshakes and geetings were profuse. The Spartans were whisked by motorcade to the lush Royal Hawaiian hotel, situated on the famed Waikiki Beach. Here was to be their home for the next five nights. Not losing sight of the reason for coming to Hawaii, Coach Biggie Munn and his staff confined the players to the hotel and its extensive grounds heavy with palm trees and other growth. After the game, November 29, a reception and dance at the Royal Hawaiian was the first social item on the agenda for the players. Free pineapple juice in the lobby of the hotel, any type of foods that could be had just for the asking, special dance entertainment for benefit of the "visitors." swimming, surfboard and outboard rigger riding, and sailboatrnp: all were now declared "in bounds." A reception by MSC alumni for visiting college officials highlighted activities on November 30. Departing December 2 for home, the Spartans were held over an extra day at the Miramar Hotel by reports of had flying weather. The air trip enroute and return was near perfect. The flights over the Pacific were "smooth as glass" while enroute home only brief spells were encountered of slightly rough weather. J A N U A R Y, 1 9 48 7 Great Field Expected For NSC Relays By W. NICHOLAS KERBAWY Sports Editor this Michigan State College again winter will become the mecca for the nation's leading collegiate indoor track and field stars. running of On Saturday, February 7, the twenty- sixth the Michigan State Relays will take place in Jenison Field- house. One month later, on Saturday, March 6, the Central Collegiate Confer twenty-first ence will assemble for meet. its It was just a year ago that a crowd of 5,489 persons attended the Silver An niversary of the Michigan State Relays and watched brilliant performances that resulted in the establishment of 12 new records in the 18 events. The all-time record field of athletes totaled 517 entries from 31 colleges and universities. in No team scoring is installed the Relays, but championships are deter mined in each of the 18 individual events. Michigan State's own Fred Johnson, last year's now a sophomore, featured show. Johnson hung up a mark of 24- feet, 6% inches in the broad jump and an 8.5-second trial heat in the 75-yard low hurdles. Both are records. to Jerry Thompson, of Texas, plans return this year after establishing a two- mile record of 9:21. Bill Porter, of Northwestern, also will be on hand to show how he set the 75-yard high hurdles record last year in 9.1-seconds. Other 1947 record breakers: Bill Mack, of Drake, mile run, 4:20; Charles Fon- ville, of Michigan, shot put, 52-feet, 1V±- inches; Bob Richards, of Illinois, pole vault, 13-feet, 9%-inches; Bill Shuman, of Penn State, 1,000 yards run in 2:19.1; Bob Schepers of Michigan State, Tom Boswell of Illinois and Charley Park of trial Texas, all of whom paced heats in the 75-yard dash in 7.6 seconds.

Porter. Whitfield) in 3:22.6. their Alumni and friends are urged to mark February 7 as a date for attending the Michigan State Relays here in East Lan sing, and March 6 for witnessing the Central Collegiate Conference indoor track and field meet for which Michigan State will be the defending team cham pion. The Spartans won this latter meet last year by piling up 54 points to Notre Dame's 38.5 while Drake University was third with 29.5. 8 T HE R E C O RD SPARTAN COURT SPARKLERS — Currently toughest basketball schedule ever arranged for Michigan State College are these members of Coach Ben F.

Coach Biggie Munn's football team finished with an impressive 7-2 won-lost record. It was Munn's first year on the East Lansing campus after a term at Syracuse university. National C o l l e g i a te championships were won by Spartans in three different sports. On deck to defend their titles in 1948 will be Chuck Davey, 135-pound boxing champion; Gale Mikles, 155-pound wrestler and George Hoogerhyde, who annexed the NCAA 1,500-meters swim ming crown. The Spartans proved to be one of the nation's power-houses both in track and swimming. Indoors, they annexed their first Central Collegeiate Conference track championship in 13 years by amass ing 54 points to Notre Dame's second- place total of 38 V2. A record field in the Silver Anniversary observance of the Michigan State Relays found the Spar tans romping off with a pair of record- shattering championships. A total of 12 marks fell during the meet. Fred Johnson and Jack Dianetti, both freshmen, were standout performers on the cinders. Johnson hung up a Relays mark of 24-feet, 6% inches in the broad jump and an 8.5 second record in the 75- yard low hurdles. He was the individual high scorer •ef the IC-4A championships, accounting for 14 of Michigan State's 25 points that placed the Spartans second to title-winning NYU's 36 points. Michigan State's swimming team won eight out of 10 dual meets and the CCC diadem for the fifth straight year. The team placed fourth among 22 schools in NCAA competition.

Thus did Coach Clarence L. (Biggie) Munn speak to his Michigan State Col lege football squad which tied the Green and White ribbon around the most suc cessful season in a decade. Or, as one prominent college official stated, "The best all-around season for football in the history of the school." The occasion was the annual grid bust. Varsity and junior varsity players seated themselves among members of the coach ing staff, the athletic council, press and radio men. The menu featured buffalo meat, a delectable dish. Extremely palatable were the awards. Voted by his mates as the team's "most valuable" was Warren Huey, 19-year-old veteran end from Punxsutawney, Pa. The citation gave him the "Governor of award, a handsome gold Michigan" watch appropriately inscribed with the name of Kim Sigler, Governor of Mich igan. Huey has been a Spartan mainstay ever since he broke into the lineup dur ing the 12-7 victory over Pittsburgh in 1945. He's been there ever since, and while he's distinctly the reticent type, it might be well to state here that it'll take plenty to move him out of that left end position next fall. Warren will be going after his fourth varsity award during his senior year. McCurry Again Named Captain Unprecedented was the act of renam- ing Robert B. McCurry captain of the 1948 team. Actually, McCurry has held three captaincies, for in 1946, when the Spartans were led by captains named for the separate games, McCurry was elected honorary co-captain of the team, along with Ken Balge, at the end of the season. McCurry, a center, was presented an electric mantel clock by his coaches. A new award, destined to become an annual presentation, was given to Tackle Pete Fusi for "lending the most humor to the squad." It was voted by the coach ing staff.

To her gardening was a distaste ful chore. Today it's a different story. On her large farm in the Florida Everglades at Belle Glade she grows vegetables by the hundreds of acres.

He was a Mississippian doing graduate work in plant pathology. When he left East Lansing to return to Mississippi State College, she went with him as his wife. From Mississippi they went to Cornell, and then, in 1930, to Belle Glade where he began a new phase of work in plant pathology at the Everglades Experiment Station. Ruth Springer Wedgeworth, '25 At that time the 'Glades were covered with sawgrass, willows and elder trees. Early settlers had drained portions of the huge swamps and attempted to con level. The muck soil trol the water fei'tile. but mineral tremendously was deficiencies handicapped farmers. Mr. Wedgeworth worked with Dr. R. V. Alli- Dallas from 1923 to 1928. After 17 years in Houston he says: "As long as I have been acquainted with Houston I have censidered property here a sound invest ment. True, prices are up, but so are in every growing city. Houston they property has long been a good buy—it still is and I think it will be for a long time." Having assumed mortgages on Hous ton buildings ranging from a few thous and dollars on a modest cottage to 4Vo million dollars on a modern Houston sky scraper, he closes real estate transactions with characteristically efficient mildness. The nature of his business and its great volume have made him one of the best informed men in Houston—and in the South—on real estate, mortgage and in surance affairs. ON T HE JOB M.S.C.

Texas—recognized by many to be the largest individually owned mort gage company in the United States. The Bettes company now has nine offices in three southwestern states and averages over $1,000,000 in loans each week. Four of the nine offices are located in Texas, and 150 employees work in the Houston office alone. Altogether move than 400 people are employed by Mr. T. I.

F. Emory Sharp of Bradenton, one of recalls Florida's best known growers, vividly the trying days Mrs. Wedgeworth faced after her husband's death in Octo ber, 1938. By then the Wedgeworth's had become vegetable growers on a big scale. Mrs. Wedgeworth. dark-haired, small and slender, makes the whole complex business seem as simple as operating a country store. Today, in addition to growing carloads of vegetables, she packs and markets her neighbors' crops. She has her own fer tilizer and insecticide mixing plant, a packing house covering 48.000 square feet, and a precooling plant. More than 1,500 carloads of vegetables are shipped from her plant each year. Farming is not her only interest. Mrs. Wedgeworth has served as a delegate to the State Democratic Convention, is a director of the Everglades National Bank and the Everglades Memorial Hospital. She keeps her interest in Michigan State College through her son George who is a sophomore in Agricultural Engineer ing.
