The new agricultural engineering build ing was used for the first time during the week and featured 60,000 square feet of floor space filled with displays of new farm machinery, building materials, irri gation equipment, and fire fighting ma chinery. Other exhibits showed the work of each department and included samples of prize-winning grains and potatoes. The College station, WKAR, carried the observance.

An alumnus returning to the Spartan campus after an absence of five or ten the old years would hardly recognize "camping grounds." Expansion has taken place on all sides of the central units, paralleling the rise of student enrollment from 3,272 in 1932 to 14,979 in the fall term of 1947. The current building program calls for the construction of 15 classrooms, labora tory and dormitory buildings, 11 apart ment buildings for married students and faculty members, and additions to the Macklin field stadium and the Student Union. Cost Is $25,000,000 less The cost of the program is approxi than mately $25,000,000, although half of is to come from this amount state appropriations. Almost $14,000,000 has been secured through loans for "self- liquidating" constructions such as dormi tories, apartments and the stadium addi tion. The Michigan legislature has ap propriated $7,000,00 the con struction of a group of buildings, total cost of which will be approximately $11,000,000, and the State Board of Agri culture has been assured that the addi tional funds will be appropriated. toward is The State Board of Agriculture wholly dependent upon state appropri ations for structures which produce no in the present revenue.

Completion Due in 1950 Present plans call for the completion of the entire program by the fall term of 1950. Already completed are the Berkey Hall classroom building, the home management laboratory, agricultural en gineering building, Snyder-Phillips dor mitory for men, and Landon Hall for women. Buildings which are expected to be completed this year include the electrical engineering building, steam generating plant, Gilchrist Hall, the second half of Yakely Hall, finishing the apartment building, and of course, the stadium expansion. All of the other con for structions will probably be ready occupation during the 1949 year, with the exception of the last two men's dor mitories, which are not expected to be ready before the fall term of 1950. touches on that Although long this program goes a way towards bringing Michigan State up-to-date, the administration has em phasized this undertaking will actually only equip the college to edu cate about 7,000 students, according to normal standards of adequacy and effi ciency. In view of this, the need has been voiced for additional structures, the most pressing of which are a new library and an animal industries building. cultural engineering building, electrical engineering building and the steam gen erating plant. The "self-liquidating" buildings being constructed with borrowed funds, to be repaid from such incomes as student pay ments, rents, and athletic receipts, are four men's dormitories, three women's dormitories, a dormitory food storage building, 11 apartment buildings for mar It will also be remembered that the current construction program, impressive as it is, only makes good in part the accumulated deficiencies of years. Un the present state-financed program til was undertaken in 1946, not a single classroom or laboratory structure had been erected on the campus at state expense since 1932. This was true even though enrollments at Michigan State College had been increasing at the rate of 700 students a year since 1932. Union, Stadium To Be Greatly Expanded The work on the Student Union is one of almost total revision. All guest rooms will be torn out, and the Union will become a structure for student activity offices and recreational purposes. The old section of the Union will house all student publications, and in addition will have seven offices for use by various student organizations. The new wing being added to the Union will house 16 bowling alleys, a billiard room, game room, music room and a series of 12 rooms for holding conferences, luncheons, parties and similar meetings. is expected in plenty of time for Completion of the expansion project at the Macklin Field stadium the September 25 game with the University of Michigan. The construction will the seating capacity increase from 27,000 to 51,000. This will be accomplished by adding 21 rows on the sides and from 11 to 46 rows in the ends. With the completion of this expansion work, Macklin Field will be the sixth largest stadium in the Mid-West, being exceeded in seating capacity only by Michigan, Ohio State, Illinois, Minnesota and Notre Dame. The eleven apartment buildings, which have already been occupied in entirety but which have not been finally completed, will house 184 families. Built of brick, these buildings have "efficiency apartments" with roll-away beds for couples without children, and one- families two-bedroom apartments bedroom, and with children. for Three of Seven Dormitories Completed The home management laboratory is made up of four separate apartment units, each including kitchen, living room, dining room, bedrooms and baths to give prac tical training to co-eds. A number of girls live in these units each quarter to become experienced with the fundamentals of house management. Of the seven dormitory units to be built as part of this present program, three have been completed; another, Yakely Hall for women will be fully occupied for the first time during the Spring term of this year; and Gilchrist Hall, also a women's dormitory, will be ready for occupancy by the Fall term of 1948. Snyder- Phillips Hall, a dual-construction, similar to Mason- Abbott Hall, is at present housing approximately 1,320 students, but during normal times would accommodate only 880. Yakely Hall provides housing for approxi mately 450 co-eds. •mgmm I •- ••'"•• VW. • I! "7«Wt MSC's Baseball Team Swings Into Action- By W. Nicholas Kerbawy Sports Editor Veteran coach John H.

Michigan State College's football stock gets a boost for 1948 as George Guerre, the Spartans' leading offensive weapon for the past two seasons, proves that his leg broken last fall against Kentucky, has fully healed. Left, George sprints in Jenison fieldhouse to strengthen the mended bone, just above the right ankle. Right, a closeup of the powerful legs that drive this 5-foot, 6-inch, 160-pound human dynamo from Flint. Guerre's main ambition now is for a successful dedication of MSC's enlarged football stadium against Michigan's Big Nine and Rose Bowl champions next fall. This being an Olympic year, most amateur athletes are being given a shot in the arm. No exception to resulting effects are Michigan State fortunes both in track and swimming. Front-center in the Spartan camp are Jack Dianetti, slender middle-distance runner, Horace Smith, the nimble-footed the hurdler, and George Hoogerhyde, Spartans' ace distance performer in swimming. transferred Running alongside is Bill Mack, whose long strides and unceasing durability has carried him to many top honors in the fall mile run. Mack from Drake to Michigan State, and while he's been running this season as an un attached entry (waiting for a year to lapse for rule), he's labeled as almost a sure bet to catch fire for Olympic consideration. the transfer-eligibility last Dianetti arrived on campus two years ago from East Rochester, N. Y., heralded as one of the nation's leading prep milers. He's borne out all fancy things said of him, but henceforth is to be regarded as an 880-yards runner and not the mile. "We've learned Dianetti is best suited for the 880," Coach Karl A. Schlademan explained, "but he still is a pretty dan gerous miler. We'll work him carefully and see what happens. Personally, I be lieve he'll be one of the six candidates to qualify for the Olympics 880-meters." timber-topper Smith, nimble from Jackson, proved his quality when he scampered over the 75 yards indoors in 9-seconds flat and over the 75 yard low sticks in 8.3-seconds during the indoor season. He still holds the state high school 120-yard high hurdles record of 14.6 which he set in 1941, and added knowledge in college has improved his efficiency indeed. in years.

It was from the faculty of M.A.C. that we received the inspirations that shaped our future courses. As an ag student he was one of those who cared for the famous 'Rosa Bonheur' (I think that was her name) the cow that broke the world's record for milk production at that time. He was very proud of that cow, and cows became his life work. Many a Wisconsin farmer will testify to the value of his instructions and selections of herds.
