TO THE ALUMNI OF THE SCHOOL OF HOME ECONOMICS in public so great that it is impossible to fill the positions. types of openings are varied. The Teaching schools, nursery schools, colleges and universities offers the most job opportunities at attractive salaries. In addition, there is a great demand for extension service workers, food service experts, hospital dietitians, home economists in journalism and radio, textile workers and researchers, and many others. Research is a career open to students with a bachelor's degree, provided they have had training in re search procedures and methods. In all these fields, there are many openings; salaries are good and the opportunities The members of the faculty of the their School of Home Economics send greetings and best wishes to you. In this letter I will tell you some of the news of the School. There have been several changes in faculty but many of your former teachers are still here. The heads of the departments are: Foods and Nutri tion, Dr. Margaret A. Ohlson; Home Management and Child Development, Dr. Irma H. Gross; Institution Admin istration, Mrs. Mabelle S. Ehlers; and Textiles, Clothing and Related Arts, Miss Hazel B. Strahan. Mrs. Merle Byers is in charge of Home Economics Education, Miss Rachel Markwell is State Home Demonstration Leader, and Miss Jeanette Lee is Assistant to the Dean. The faculty who have been here 15 years or more in addition to those Beatrice mentioned Grant, Katherine Hart, Marion Hillhouse and Julia Tear. include: above We are very proud of the two books published by the staff. One "Home Management in Theory and Practice" by Irma H. Gross and Elizabeth Walbert Crandall is a complete revision of an earlier edition, and treats management in the home in a different manner. The other, "Dress Design—Draping and Flat Pattern Making" by Marion Hillhouse and Evelyn Mansfield is the only book these fields. It will be used covering both as a college text and by the "trade." The new Home Management Building completed this past year was the first major increase in facilities of the school since the opening of the present Home Economics Building in 1924. The new building located on Grand River avenue east of Berkey Hall, contains four home residence units. In each management house there is space for eight students and an instructor. The curricula of the School of Home Economics offer an opportunity for broad, general education as well as training for many types of professions open to home economists. The demands for home economics trained women and, yes, men (we have 11 men majors) are Dean Dye for advancement are limited only by the person's ability. The graduate program of the school is growing. Our first Ph.D. in nutrition, Marion Wharton, received her degree in June, 1947, and other candidates expect to complete their requirements this year. We are working with two departments in the School of Science and Arts to develop doctoral programs in other fields of home economics. About 35 graduate students took work during the past year in addition to those in the summer ses sion. Each year more foreign women are enrolling in home economics. This year there have been women from many countries including: China—3, India—1, Canada—3, New Zealand—1, South Af T HE R E C O RD rica—3, Burma—1, Holland—1, and Nor way—1. Most of them are taking gradu ate work. The research based upon the needs of homes and families is carried on in each department. The amount is determined largely by the budget available, but also by the facilities and the personnel avail able. The staff engaged in research is the equivalent of 10% faculty and 14 assistants. A wide variety of projects is under way. The Department of Foods and Nutrition for several years has been studying the nutritional requirements of women of college age, of those over 60, and also of those recovering from tuberculosis. Another long time study is on fish caught in Michigan waters— methods of cooking, and vitamin and amino acid content. Work on improving methods of freezing foods and their use is in progress. In the Department of Home Manage ment and Child Development there has been a long time study on management as applied to the home which included finding the factors affecting manage ment, developing a scoring device to evaluate standards of management and an anlysis of the quality of achieve ment in the various phases of home management. Research in the Department of Institu tion Administration centers around prob lems of feeding groups of people, such as acceptance of foods by children in rooms, the development school of standard recipes for quantity food service and the formulation of plans for the equipment in institution kitchens. lunch The Department of Textiles, Clothing and Related Arts is studying the service ability of fabrics. These include the determination of the serviceability of two types of glass curtains, of three types of dress percales and of several types of women's slips. In each one the laboratory analysis of the fabric is made before, during and at the end of the service period. We are always glad to see and to hear from our alumni. Come and let us show you what we are doing and meet our newer faculty members. Marie Dye Vol. 53, No. 6 ALVIE L. S M I T H, Editor September, 1948 JOSEPH G. D U N C A N, Historians; THOMAS H.

Transferred to MSC In mid-August, Michigan State Col lege was given full ownership of 1,100 trailers barracks apartments and 400 formerly owned by the federal govern ment. This was the result of a statement the Chicago Public Housing Ad from ministration granting regional office, full ownership of more than 2,730 tem porary housing units to 16 educational institutions. These units were the first to be relinquished out of a total of 41,- 000 such units, following Congressional authorization during the special session. According to college officials, this transfer will mean an over-all equaliza tion of rents, improvement of facilities, and a guarantee that rents would be no higher for any student. The new set up, too, would allow the college to better the its "losses and profits" juggle previously separated housing categories, and better coordinate the college hous ing progTam, officials added. in Af*&. 3)0Aa atf.

Michigan State College last month became a unit in the new program to train 37,000 officers for a greatly en larged United States military force. This was not unexpected. The Spar long ranked as tan military unit has one of the largest and best trained in the nation. Only a few months ago, the MSC unit got its usual annual rating from U. S. Fifth Army headquarters— "superior." Michigan State, being a land-grant college, has always required two years of military science for all eligible male students. After these two years, quali fying students may continue in the ad vanced R.O.T.C. course, and upon gradu ation become eligible for commissions in the U.S. armed forces. The advanced R.O.T.C. program at MSC will change but little. The name to Officers Training may be changed Corps (O.T.C.) and it is expected that the annual quota for the program will be close to 1,000, excluding those stu taking compulsory military sci dents the new- ence. Too, students course must serve the army or air force after commission, if called. taking two years in in Most conspicuous point the new curriculum, however, is that all students selected for the four-year program will be deferred from the draft. This defer ment will be effective as long as the student satisfactorily fulfills course re quirements. Col. Charles E. Dissinger, who has replaced Col. John L. Whitelaw as head of the R.O.T.C. at Michigan State, will be in charge. Col. Dissinger recently returned from duty in Tokyo to assume his new post. He is a veteran of both world wars and 32 years service with the U.S. Army. Student Council A young man to watch during the 1948-49 college year is 23-year-old James H. "Jim" Cawood, newly elected presi dent of the Student Council. Cawood is a "go-getter." He has enough leadership experience under his belt to make things tick and the deter mination to match. At Sexton High School the in Lansing, top student Cawood was one of leaders. He was varsity end on the football team, member of student coun cil and president of the senior class. To 4 . . . . TH E R E C O RD wrap up a successful high school career, he won the Michigan Honor Trophy, given annually to the school's most out standing all-around student. Three years service in the U.S. Naval Air Force preceded Cawood's enrol lment at MSC. Dur ing his term on Stu dent Council last year, the soft-spoken ibut hard - working Cawood was recog- [nized as a standout. C a w o od His first step in | bringing better stu dent government to Michigan State will to push all-out be for greater student participation. He also hopes to make the present revision of the council's constitution something more than the annual "standing joke on campus." in establishing Commented Cawood: "The Student Council this year hopes to take its place as the coordinator of student activities . .. it will endeavor to work with other student organizations, and with the Dean interest of Students, groups for to make sure that all these groups have a speaking voice.

That's It seems that veteran enrollment is on report from MSC Registrar Robert S. Linton, who predicts only 7,500 veteran students, a drop of 1,500 from last fall's figures, will enroll for classes at Michigan State this September. These come as welcome words to the "non-vets", who since September, 1945 have found the older, more serious vet erans keen competition. It will be the first time since the end of the war that non-veterans will be in a greater per the ex-service men and centage women. than In over-all enrollment, however, no decrease is expected. According to Lin ton, "the 1948 fall enrollment will be at least as large as that for last year," which was 15,208, including regular and short course students. Michigan State in is one of a few large universities the Midwest not anticipating enrollment decreases of from 200 to 5,000 students. With the end of the summer quarter September 3, 381 students had com pleted requirements for bachelor's de grees. This included 259 in the regular summer quarter and 122 in the special 6-weeks session, which ended July 30. New and Old Courses The art of sleuthing becomes a real science this fall at Michigan State, when a new course is offered for the first time. in "Police Science" in MSC becomes the second college the U.S. to offer such a course in "test- tube detection," according to Arthur F.

Students will study ballistics, identification of blood, photography and allied subjects, in-service and will have a nine-months training with major law enforcement agencies before graduating. toxicology, Several courses have been added to the Department of Journalism, includ ing studies of basic and advanced pho tography, advertising, and "The Law of the Press."

It has added FM. Since its establishment 26 years ago, WKAR has played a vital role in the educational philosophy propounded by Michigan State College. It has made an enviable record in making available to 85 per cent of the state's population the educational facilities and resources of the college. The evolution of the station from a 100-watt AM station in 1922 was a hard but steady process. The power was in creased to 500-watts in 1924, 1,000-watts in 1931, and to the present power of 5,000 watts nine years ago. to them. Although About October 1. WKAR's large listen ing audience will find a 15-hour schedule available the FM 3,000-watt license grants unlimited opera tion times, present plans call for a 7 a. m. to 11 p. m. schedule. The WrKAR day will continue to be from sunup to sundown. A new dual for WKAR was erected a few weeks ago on the college's expanded South Campus. transmitting tower Dual programs will be broadcast over AM and FM until the AM station goes off the air at sundown. The new FM station will permit broadcasting of all college activities such as sports, lecture concert series, and other night-time col lege activities.

"A Bit of Bad News" When the State Board of Agriculture, in July, governing body of MSC, met it was handed a bit of bad news that most of the members had expected for some time. National "Sweetheart" Barbara Tanner, 20-year-old Michigan State senior, smiled her way to the title of national "Sweetheart of Sigma Chi." Miss Tanner, daughter of Mrs. Flor ence Irene Tanner, Detroit, was selected from a group of six finalists August 27 at the fraternity's Grand Chapter meet ing in Seattle, Wash. The Spartan beauty will be given a screen test in Hollywood as part of her prize. She also received a 45-inch trophy and a diamond-studded Sigma Chi sweet heart pin. is This the second national beauty honor bestowed on Miss Tanner, who last year was named the "Ideal American Co-ed" in a poll taken by the Ladies Home Journal. The facial features of Miss Tanner most approximated the ideal set by 1,500,000 college youths. A major in physical science at MSC, she boasts a 2.36 scholastic average, just below that required for graduation with high honors. Dr. C. S.

Military government leaders wanted his advise on setting up an im proved agricultural extension service for the German farmer. Dr. Hannah served as chairman of a commission which thoroughly surveyed this problem in the U.S. a few months ago. These officials also wanted to utilize his experience in new innovations in college curricula at Michigan State. College Publications Rank Seventh in Nation Agricultural publications and articles of Michigan State College's Department of Public Relations were ranked seventh in the nation, at the annual meeting of the American Association of Agricul tural College Editors in Spokane, Wash., recently. Twenty-seven other colleges and uni versities submitted entries in the com petition, which were judged by classes as excellent, good or fair. Also during the meeting, Earl C.

Large Gift Motivates Pledges From Others A recent gift of $2,500 to the Me morial Center Fund, made by an alum nus who prefers to remain anonymous, is held responsible for a noticeable surge of subscriptions to the fund. Fund com mittee fellow alumni, learning of this "generous" con tribution, hastened to add their names to the ever-growing list of donors. officials believe that Floyd W. Owen, '02, general chairman of the fund drive, added: "Many more large and small contributions will be needed before success is attained. How ever, the Fund Committee is confident the minimum objective of $300,000 can be achieved if every alumnus will make subscription"—in accord a ance with ability to give. Subscriptions are now payable until June 30, 1949." thoughtful BuUttedA AdmittibtntUiott MojoM, Ga*t Cx&ect Qaad SalaAied an Qtiaduation MSC graduates of business adminis tration can expect to average a begin ning salary of $275.83 monthly, for men and $172.88, for women. Salary estimates were tabulated by F. K. Hardy, of the MSC business re search bureau, in a recently completed survey of job opportunities for business administration graduates. He surveyed 640 employers through out Michigan and neighboring states, whose estimates were statistical the base for salary predictions. The estimated monthly average salary for male graduates after 2 years of employment was $305.64; after five years, $398.32; and after 10 years, $566.91. For women, the raise was lower and slower. After 2 years of employment, the monthly average salary estimate was $220.68; after 5 years, $269.65; and for the women who sticks it out 10 years, $330.19. The figures have special significance for MSC business administration gradu ates, according to the business research Employers bureau. questioned were selected in proportion to the MSC gradu ates presently employed. For example, 27 per cent cf the MSC business adminis tration graduates are now employed as accountants, and 27 per cent of the em in businesses ployers questioned were involving accounting techniques. Em ployers were also chosen from various areas of Michigan and other states in proportion to the numbers of MSC busi ness administration graduates employed in each area. Another section of the questionnaire for employers dealt with duties required for business administration graduates. The top five for men were accounting, marketing and selling, cost accounting, advertising and office management. Women graduates of business admin istration were most needed in the follow ing fields: secretarial, accounting, ad vertising, office management and indus trial personnel.

This is not only untrue, but it is a simple fact that we cannot hope to attain even our mini mum objective without hundreds of smaller gifts." At the start of the campaign in May, 1947, E. B. More, '16, then chairman of the Alumni Advisory Council, stated in a message directed the alumni body: "The plan of giving has no sug gested amounts. It is asked only that each alumnus thoughtfully consider the meaning of the project and then act as his mind and heart dictates." to the months of November The fund now totals well over $100,- scheduled C00 and committee activity through for May point toward the achievement of the $300,000 objective. Increased atten tion will be devoted by the fund com mittee to areas of alumni concentration and to non-alumni friends of the college who have shown an interest in the "liv ing plan for peace." Intensified campaigns will be conducted by alumni in Oakland, Wayne and Ing ham counties. Small committees to con tact parents and interested friends are being formed in seven Michigan counties. Goal: 100% Alumni Participation loyal Although hundreds of parents of stu dents now and formerly on the campus and friends of Michigan State College have already joined in the pro motion of the project, the bulk of the responsibility rests with the alumni body. To this end, Lee O. Benner, '12, Alumni Council head, is calling on all alumni to the goal of 100 per cent to rally alumni participation by 1949. The success of fund programs con ducted by alumni of other colleges and universities illustrates the support which former students have given to their re spective Alma Maters. Ohio State Uni versity, Middlebury College, Amherst, Masachusetts State College, Tufts, and Kansas State College are a few among the many whose alumni are paying homage their honored war dead through active support of alumni-spon sored projects. to Below is a photographic reproduction of a section of the "Plan of Giving" as found in the brochure which introduced the Memorial Center project to the alumni body.

STABLEY A capacity crowd of more than 50,000 to be on hand persons are expected the Sept. 25, when new Macklin Field stadium will take place just prior to the Michigan State- University of Michigan game. the dedication of The brief, historic ceremony will get under way at 1:45 p.m., with the game starting time set for 2 p.m. The pro gram will be heralded by the appear ance on the stadium turf of a color the head of a procession of guard at distinguished guests. John F. Macklin to Be Present Honored guest will be John F. Mack lin, former Spartan mentor for whom the stadium was named. Macklin coached the 1913 team to the only undefeated and untied season in history. Pres. John A. Hannah will introduce the guests, including also Michigan's Pres. A. G. Ruthven and Director of Athletics Fritz Crisler; and Michigan State's Director of Athletics Ralph H. Young. The ceremony itself will be one of the shortest on record, with Gov. Kim Sigler's dedication speech being about three minutes long, and the entire pro gram approximately ten minutes. Begins New Era The big day will mark the beginning of a new era in sports for Michigan State. In a sense, the new Macklin Field stadium with its capacity of 50,000 people, means that the Spartans defin itely are a big-time sports power. It means that more people than ever before favorites to watch will be able play at home, that schedules will be tougher, and, that Spartan teams will have an incentive to all-out play such as they never had before. their The Spartans limelight with long have baen "big time" indoors, due in large measure to the magnificent physical facilities of Jenison Fieldhouse. Now they step into the sixth the football largest stadium in the mid-West and one of the most beautiful and most com pletely appointed in the entire country. Coach Clarence L. (Biggie) Munn and toughest his boys will be facing schedule in the school's history, but they can be depended upon to give a good account of themselves, win or lose. for starting the Spartans will be: LE, Minarik; LT, Vogler; LG, Bagdon; C, McCurry; RG, Mason; RT, Fusi; RE, Huey; Q, Kres- tel; LH, Guerre; RH, Chandnois; and FB, Waters.

Seven Meets Will Be On MSC s Cross-Country Schedule for 1948 Seven meets with some of top teams of the nation are included on the 1948 cross-country schedule of Michi gan State, Coach Karl A. Schlademan has announced. the team. Included The Spartans have lost none of their long-distance talent by graduation and have several outstanding prospects from last year's freshman 'n the list of returning lettermen are: Jack Dianetti, Rochester, N.Y., junior, State's middle distance star and cross country ace; Bob Sewell, Cleveland, O., junior, last years "surprise package" who is a definite threat; and Tom Irmen, Toledo, 0., senior, captain-elect of the Spartan track team for next spring. Two Outstanding Freshman From the ranks for the freshmen squad come two more outstanding candidates for the Spartan squad, Warren Druetz- ler and Bill Mack. Mack is rated as cne of the top distance men in the nation and should add strength to the Fpartan team. Druetzler, a product of LaGrange, 111., who set the MSC mile record for freshmen is considered a brilliant prospect. last season, All possible strength will be necessary schedule to cope with following the which Coach Schlademan has ari'anged: Oct. 9, Notre Dame at South Bend; Oct. 23, Penn State at State College, Pa.; Oct. 30, Purdue, Wisconsin, MSC at Lafayette, Ind.; Nov. 13, Central Col legiate Conference at South Bend, Ind.; Nov. 15, the IC4A championships at New York City; Nov. 22, the NCAA championships at East Lansing; and Nov. 27, AAU Senior championships at Detroit, Mich.

Thirty-Five Promising S o p hs Are Given Fall Practice Call Most of the alumni football faithful can't be told much they don't already know about like Chandnois, Guerre, McCurry, Huey, Mason, Fusi, Bagdon and others. fellows But there's another big group of 35 young men about whom they know very little to date, but of whom they soon will be hearing plenty. They are the sophomore candidates on the squad of 72 which answered fall practice call. the There are 11 sophomore backs on the squad, including six who won all-state honors as high school performers. At this early date it is virtually impossible to tell which of them will develop into the top stars, but these seem to have the best chances: LeRoy R. Crane, 181- pound fullback from Mt. Pleasant, Mich., and an all-state high school selection; Everett Grandelius, a 195-pound Mus halfback; Dave kegon Heights left Crego, from Lansing's Sexton High, and an all-state star; Jesse L. Thomas, 160-pound pas ser-de-luxe from Flint's Central High, an all-state performer at quarterback; quarterback 180-pound Richard Corless, 200-pound Ohio all-state fullback, from Akron; and Garth Frost, 170-pound Flint quarterback Northern, also an all-state selection. from Among the 24 sophomore linemen there are a number of standouts. Top ping the list, and apparently due to be the only one of the newcomers crack ing MSC's starting lineup this fall, is Hank Minarik, 6 foot, 1 inch, 190-pound all-state end from Flint Central. Minarik may fill the flank post vacated by Ken Balge, who graduated last spring. Here are some of the others whose remembering; Cen names are worth ters— Sidney Stein, weighing 190; and James Creamer, a 6'3", 200-pounder; Guards—John Yocca, 187; Gabriel Marek, 195; and John Tobin, 195; Tackles—Al bert Yuhas, 201; Franklin Saylor, 185; and William Miron, 235; Ends—Dome Dibble, 185; George Hilla, 216; and Stan ley Swayman, 204. These are not all of them by any means, and it may be that some of the brightest stars a year or two hence have been given no individual mention here. "It won't be long now" says Erwin "Cap" Kapp, equipment manager for the Spartans. Kapp and his assistant, Dick Conn, (right), are busy mending, clean ing, and numbering equipment and getting ready for the opening of the football season. "Cap" and Dick are the "behind-the-scenes" men of Michigan State football, and it is their job to keep the Spartans outfitted in the best possible fashion. Merrill Is Only Spartan To Place In Olympics The Olympic Games of 1948 are now hhtory. The United States scored over whelming triumphs in all phases of the games. Michigan State's representatives will return this country with one third place medal, but with hundreds of fond memories for future years. to Leland Merrill was the only State en trant who placed in the Olympic games. Merrill, a 1942 graduate, and captain of the MSC wrestling team his senior year, finished third in the welterweight class. Merrill was defeated in the finals by Yozar Dogu of Turkey, who went on to win first place. in Howard Patterson, Saginaw sopho more, was entered the 100-meter backstroke and missed qualifying for the Olympic finals by .1 second. Patterson swam second in his qualifying heat, but in the semi-finals with finished fourth a time of 1:09.9. Final qualifying time for the event was 1:09.8. So near and yet so far. Three Fail to See Action Charlie Davey, State's national col legiate boxing champion from Detroit, made the trip as alternate and did not get a chance to show his skill. Davey gained some consolation, how ever, when he outpointed Ireland's M. McCullagh in a lightweight battle dur ing a U.S.-Irish match in August. The Americans won 6-2. in Ireland Also failing to see action were Bob and Maldegen, heayweight wrestler, the George Hoogerhyde, a member of team. Al 800-meter relay swimming though Dick Hutton, the U.S. heavy weight was injured in competition, Mal degen could not enter the matches be cause Olympic rules forbid substitutions once matches are underway. Michigan State's two walking special ists, alumnus Ernest Crosbie and sopho more Adolph Weinacker, were entered the 50,000-meter walk but neither in succeeded in placing. This is not strange, since foreign athletes have dominated this gruelling event for years. Trainer Jack Heppinstall time out while in England to visit relatives and friends in the vacinity of London. Jack probably renewed old acquaintances with some of the "Laddies" he once knew. His return will bring more cheery "Hi, Laddie" greetings to MSC athletes. took Yes, the Olympics are over, but State's athletes who made trip will have lots of experiences to discuss upon their return. the S E P T E M B E R, 1 9 48 . . .. 9 The football team of 1908 was the first to play Michigan at East Lansing; the That game was their three had been near series.

(right) As described on the back, this picture shows students "demonstrating" before the state capitol in 1898 to promote greater college appropriations. The lines of armed cadets must have made a formidable appearance. We would appreciate more information about that event. (below, left) The official 1900 class memorial, located between the Library and Administration Building, was utili tarian when erected. On one side, pedes trians quenched their thirst; on the other, horses drank. Reading upon the history of the memorial are Jerry Wilson, '51, and Sue Finley, '51. (below, right) The unofficial memorial was a large field stone, which members of the class of 1900 placed on a site near the present Music Building. One night, according to V. M. Shoesmith, '01, some 1901s buried the stone. The next day, some non-participant 1901s were photographed at the "grave." Their rivals soon dis interred the stone, and again there was night activity. This time some unknown persons built a fire around the stone and threw water on it, which caused it to break into fragments. The official memorial was erected later.

They are Bud Smith, Lou Znrza and Earl Zuehlke. Northern California The Northern California alumni group has completed plans for a grand-scale built alumni Pacific around the MSC-Santa Clara University game at Kezar Stadium, San Francisco, Nov. 27. reunion, coast Southern California, Portland, Seattle and Nevada alumni clubs have been in vited to swell the crowd of MSC alumni at the game, and at a pre-game ban quet Friday, Nov. 26. The banquet will be held at the Claremont Hotel, Berkeley, which will be headquarters for alumni during the weekend, according to Irving Woodin, chairman of the Northern Cali fornia club. The following committee, representing California, Washington, Oregon and Nevada, will lead the reunion: Harry Eustance, chairman, Loren Ross, Arthur Hendrickson, William R. Hinshaw, Paul Armstrong, Harry Schulyer, Jack Spald ing, L. J. Johnson, R. W. Nahstoll, An gus B. Leggat, George T. Koverly. This committee will attempt to draw all alumni from their regions into the big huddle. Detroit The MSC Alumni club of Detroit will hold four informal football smokers for all MSC grads at the Hotel Lee Plaza ballroom, 2240 W. Grand Blvd., Detroit. The ballroom will be open at 8:30 p.m., and movies of the most outstanding games of the coming season will be shown. Coach Biggie Munn or members of his coaching staff will attend each smoker and introduce the films with explanatory remarks. The schedule of smokers and films to be shown is as follows: October 5—Michigan October 19—Notre Dame November 2—Penn State November 16—Marquette The next general meeting of the De troit club will be held in the ballroom of the Hotel Lee Plaza, Thursday, Sept. 16, at 8 p.m. New board members will be elected at the meeting. Highlight of the club's summer sea son was an alumni dance at Lochnor Golf Club, June 11, honoring the 1948 graduating class at MSC. Helen and Ed *7a Alumni o^ Michigan State: The Michigan State College Alumni leaps and is growing by Association bounds. On June 6, 1948, more than 2,200 new alumni were welcomed into the Alumni Association upon receiving degrees at East Lansing. From all indications, graduating classes at MSC will continue this large for many years. This rapid growth of the alumni body, however gratifying and beneficial to the college, nevertheless presents some prob lems of organization, both on the state and national levels. It has become neces sary to organize the alumni body more effectively and to develop a closer rela tionship between alumni, and alumni and college. One of the most needed items in the MSC Alumni Association is for an or ganization of Michigan alumni clubs on a county basis, wherever there are suf ficient numbers of alumni to form such a group. It is believed that if there are between 30 and 50 alumni in a county, an efficient club could be put together. At present, there are only 16 alumni clubs for in Michigan, or one club approximately five counties. This not only presents a problem because of loose organization, but also makes it incon venient for the club members to attend the meetings which may be across two or three counties. This county set-up does not mean that alumni clubs now organized in counties or in metropolitan centers within coun ties, would be affected. These organiza tions would remain intact and an effort would be made to increase their member ship by intensification of membership drives. In some areas where clubs are exceedingly large, it might be possible to form more in the county. than one club Another suggestion proposed by the Alumni Office is for the issuance of a national membership card annually to each alumnus. These cards would in no way affect local membership, but would be a means of adding a feeling of closer brotherhood between alumni all over the nation. The Alumni Office would appreciate any suggestions or criticisms from the alumni regarding these proposed changes in the Alumni Association. —Tom King S E P T E M B E R, 1 9 48 11 Southern California Has Picnic Reunion Southern California alumni held a mass picnic for more than 100 persons at Griffith Park, Los Angeles, June 27, to launch a gay summer season. Four gen erations were represented at the gath ering. The "Patriarch of the Day" was Gray son Miles, '97, who came from Sacra mento to join his fellow MSC graduates. Other early-century graduates in attend ance were Mrs. J. C. Button, '07, and Walter Brown, '08. President Frank Smith, '38, armed with a baseball bat for gavel, forced the throng into a business meeting. Bob Mummy, '38, was chosen to head a new placement committee which will attempt to find jobs for MSC alumni who are newcomers to California. Officers for the coming year were also elected by the picnickers. They are George Calhoun, '39, Manhattan Beach, president; August Bogdanik, '38, Culver City, vice-president; and Wally Gilmore, '43, Long Beach, secretary-treasurer. As a welcome for new Californians, two of the club's members were named to serve as official hosts to any and all. Michigan State College alumni and undergraduates visiting or moving to California are to consider as their recep tion centers the homes of Wally Gil- (Long more, 4742 Lakewood Blvd. Beach 54623) and George Calhoun, 1404 Oak Ave., Manhattan Beach (Frontier 46322).
