TO ALUMNI OF MICHIGAN STATE COLLEGE: Back in the days of the great and mighty class of '17, agricultural students took certain engineering subjects, forest ers learned something about agriculture, an engineer was quite likely to take bac teriology, home ecs took dramatics, and all of us shared in such courses as Eng speech, economics, mathematics, lish, political science, and history. Eventually there came a day, less so at Michigan State College than at many institutions, when specialization domi nated the educational stage. Not that specialization proved undesirable as such, but often it came so early in a student's career or was so intense as to preclude adequate training in effective communi cation or the opportunity to study the relationship of a special field to other fields of activity or the needs of society as a whole. It is to offset this tendency that there has developed a national urge for more general education, education which is centered on the student more than on subject matter, education which would help the student intelligently with a variety of problems, not the least of which are those having to do with his opportunities and responsibilities as a citizen in a free society. to deal The Basic College represents a major effort on the part of Michigan State Col lege to meet this essential need. The Basic College is an an administrative unit in which all freshmen and sopho mores at Michigan State College are enrolled, regardless of their special fields of interest. Here are its four major objectives: seeks 1. The Basic College to strengthen specialization by undergird- ing it with a broad foundation of general education. This foundation of general education is laid in seven basic courses. These are: Written and Spoken English, headed by Paul Bagwell, Wisconsin; Biological Science, C. A. Lawson, Michi gan; Physical Science, S. G. Bergquist, Michigan; Social Science, Walter R. Fee, Indiana; Effective Living, Leo A. Haak, Harvard; History of Civilization, H. H. Kimber, Michigan; and Literature and Fine Arts, John F. A. Taylor. Princeton. In brief, the work of these departments gives recognition to the fact that an effective citizen must be able to com municate his own ideas clearly and con cisely and he must understand with dis crimination, the written and spoken, word of others. These basic, general education courses take up about half of a student's time during his freshman and sophomore years. The rest of his curriculum is devoted to introductory courses in his chosen field. It is the blending of the introduction to a special general with field of interest that we believe lends much strength to the Basic College pro gram. Dean Rather 2. The second objective of the pro gram is to use this blending of general and special courses, along with careful counseling and testing, to give students a chance eventually to determine their special interests in the light of a lot more information about themselves than was formerly possible. Of the 9,000 stu dents currently enrolled in the Basic Col lege, about 1,600 have not yet chosen a definite curriculum. Another 2,000 stu dents who have made a curriculum choice T HE R E C O RD will find from experience that some other field is more to their liking. 3. Many students who enter college cannot go on to complete a degree grant ing program for financial, academic, and a score of other reasons. The Basic College recognizes this problem with its granting of two year certificates which may be designated as "general" if the student's work has been general in char acter, or it may specifically be a cer tificate in one of the several two-year curricula that have been set up, a num ber of them in the field of business. Most of all, the nature and sequence of courses have been so arranged as to make the first two years of college meaningful in themselves, rather than merely introduc tory to the upper class years of a four year program. individuals. Sections 4. The Basic College, despite its large number of students, still recognizes stu in the dents as basic courses are as small as most of the freshmen and sophomore sections were when this college had 1,600 rather than 16,000 students. These classes are taught by full-time members of the col lege staff—not by graduate assistants whose major interest may lie elsewhere. Students who have difficulty are given the opportunity for special work, as in the reading writing, and speaking clinics of the written and spoken English de partment. All departments grant full credit in their course to superior students on the basis of a comprehensive examina tion without completion of the normal full three terms of class work. The whole Basic College program was launched on the initiative of President John Hannah and its continuance has been made possible by the excellent co operation of all of the units at Michigan State. Some still prefer a highly specialized, highly vocationalized program, but many others have come to Michigan State because of the opportu nities afforded by its Basic College. students It has been a pleasure to welcome the children of many classmates and friends to Michigan State College. I'm still waiting for the first one to drop in and say, "Grandpaw was a classmate of yours." I suppose it won't be long. Howard C. Rather. Vol. 53. No. 7 ALTO L. SMITH, Editor CON WILLIAMS, \v"-Mi.

Many of them were mechanical in design, operating with electric motors. Judged by a committee of Lansing businessmen, Psi Upsilon fra ternity and Gamma Phi Beta sorority were awarded prizes for top displays. Saturday evening's Homecoming Ball, a sell-out, was attended by more than 1,500 couples. Held in the college audi torium, dancing was to the music of Bob Strong's popular orchestra. Highlight of the evening was the presentation of Homecoming Queen Sue Kern, senior from Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Attend ing Miss Kern as her court-of-honor were coed runners-up, Joy Butler, Lansing; Jean Cotter, Detroit; Charlys Pieritz, Saginaw; and Virginia Walter, Detroit. Highlight of the week-end was the MSC-Arizona football contest Saturday afternoon, when returning grads wit the powerful Spartans down a nessed hapless Arizona team 61-7. The band, crack MSC marching directed by Leonard Falcone, helped alumni choose between the merits of the two major contenders for the presidential race—Harry "Druman" and Tom "Too- ley." During half-time ceremonies the band displayed a mirthful parody on the coming elections. Hundreds of alumni gathered on the field after the game, meeting with their classmates under banners designating their respective graduating years.

T HE A F F A I RS OF S T A TE ENROLLMENT Enrollment at Michigan State College surged upward to a new record high this fall, when more than 1(5,000 students signed up for classes. While many other colleges throughout the nation began to feel the first pinches of veteran graduations with varying de creases in enrollment, Michigan State College was more than holding its own. This year's total figure surpassed by over 800 the previous all-time high of 1947-48, when 15,208 regular and short course students attended the college. Of regular this year's students and 148 were short courses. total, 15,886 were taking It is not difficult for some alumni to twenty years, ten or remember back when they were recorded as part of an "all-time" high student enrollment. The growth of Michigan State College's stu dent population has been steady, even if sometimes slow. During 16 of the past 24 years, which included the depression of the early li)30's and World War II, record enrollment peaks were reached at MSC. Twenty years ago, enrollment stood at 3,056 and in 1938, the student population at Michigan State had in creased to 6,227. Of the 15,886 regular students en rolled, more than 8,300 are veterans, and the men outnumber women students by a ratio of 12,031 to 3,855. These figures represent slight decreases in the veteran and men percentages, according to Regis trar Robert S. Linton. New students at Michigan State number more than 4,200, with a noticeable increase in the number of students transferring from other col leges.

Coveted Assignment Michigan State College's almost unique police administration department has been given a coveted assignment—re search into alcoholic intoxication for the National Safety Council, headquartered in Chicago. Several factors worked in MSC's favor when it was selected over a dozen Mid western universities for the $5,000 grant from the National Safety Council. One was the availability of two out standing authorities in this field, Ralph F. Turner, associate professor of police the college, and Dr. administration at C. W. Muehlberger, director of the crime the Michigan detection laboratory of Health Department. Turner was for eight years laboratory supervisor of the Kansas City, Mo., police department, a pioneer in the use of chemicals for meas uring intoxication. Too, MSC has its own campus police, beaded by Prof. in Arthur Brandstatter, which works close cooperation with East Lansing and state police in their investigations. These factors gave Michigan State College a natural, practical tie-in for this research study. COL. CHARLES DISSINGER . . . heads ROTC . . .

SALUTE TO MSC Radio fans from coast to coast enjoyed an unusual "double-header," Saturday, Oct. 23, with Michigan State as the featured attraction. The Alma Mater's story and songs were broadcast over a noon-time half hour program on the nationwide Mutual network, while later the same system carried the MSC-Penn State game at Col lege Station, Pa. MSC was honored as the first institu tion to be featured in the new series, en titled "Campus Salutes," sponsored by the Department of the Army in coopera tion with the Mutual Broadcasting Sys tem. The series, originating in Wash ington, is scheduled to honor a number of great American universities during the coming months. THE A F F A I RS OF S T A TE STUDENT AFFAIRS New, WKAR. Faculty Affairs Michigan State College hit the national headlines to some last month—thanks overambitious students who decided that they didn't have to graduate before go ing into business for themselves. With the Spartan football team rated as one of the best in the nation, and everybody and his brother clamoring for MSC's entry into the elite Big Nine, stu dent enthusiasm in college football had time reached an all-time high. The seemed ripe for football pool syndicates, offering high rewards for selecting the week's football winners, to move in on the Spartan campus. the Michigan game, and Their operations were short lived. First these syndicates came appearance of after two weeks, it was all over. Campus police three students and questioned arrested seven others in connection with illegal possession of gambling equipment. in Of the ten students questioned, three were suspended from college, and seven others placed on disciplinary probation by administrative action. The real "fish" —the syndicate contact men who brought the tickets to the campus and paid off winners, if any—were not caught accord ing to campus police, due to "premature publicity given the investigation." Fall term, traditionally a boisterous season for students at Michigan State, is no different this year. Pep rallies and Homecoming are as loud and noisy as ever; the "queens" and their dances are in full swing; and fresh men elections reached a high peak this fall when 70 petitions were entered by candidates for various class offices. One of the candidates was Thomas R. Dewey of Grosse Pointe, who frankly admitted that he would be content to be president of the frosh class, at least for the time being. He tied for second place in campus run-off primaries for the class presidency, but he lost in the final elec tion to Ward Ouradnik, of Ann Arbor.

The day's slate included twenty panel discussions, each designed to help solve problems present in the publication of high school papers and yearbooks. Lead ing the panels were high school faculty the advisers, professional members of graphic arts trades, and members of the MSC faculty. Featured speaker was Walt Ditzen, nationally known sports cartoonist, who entertained student journalists with a series of amusing "chalk-talks." Highlight of the day's activities was the award of prizes for excellence in the field of high school publications. The coveted John S. Knight trophy, for the paper judged best in makeup, content, and general excellence, was presented to the "Reflector," publication of Jackson High School. Awards were made for ex cellence in other classifications. Dr. C. B. Smith, USDA Executive, Dies at 78 Dr. Clarence Beaman Smith, formerly assistant director of the Cooperative Ex tension Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, died Sept. 18 at the age of 78. He was born in Howardsville, Michi gan, in 1870 and received his BS degree in 1894 from Michigan State College and MS in 1895. After serving a~> prin cipal of schools at Lawton, Michigan, he joined the U. S. Department of Agri culture as an accountant in 1896. Following travel in Europe, Dr. Smith became editor of the Department's "Ex periment Station Record." In 1917, Michigan State awarded him an honorary degree of doctor of science. Dr. Smith was closely connected with the development of the present cooperat ive extension system. At the time of his in 1938, he was assistant retirement director of the extension service. Dr. Smith was one of the first five recipients of the MSC Alumni Award for Distinguished Service, being so hon ored at the June 1946 Commencement exercises. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. two Lottie Lee Smith, four sons, and daughters. 6 . . . .

To conduct their tests, the MSC pro fessors are subjecting 30 small plots in the college farm area to different treat ments. The liquid being used in experi ments ranges from almost pure water to undiluted sewer sludge. Mallmann and Turk hope that their experiments will provide a measure by which farmers can be assured that their irrigated vegetables arc not contam inated.

Muelder, MSC Professor, Has Vital Role in Germany's Future One of the most important posts in the U. S. military government in Ger many is being filled by Dr. Milton E. Muelder, on the Michigan leave from State history and political science de partment. His official title is deputy director of the education and cultural relations divi sion of the U. S. military government and he is responsible for the over-all education program for Germany. He assumed this post early in 1948. Won Legion of Merit This is not his first venture into inter national affairs since joining the MSC staff in 1935. He was on special loan arrangement to the army from January, 1944, to October, 1945, during which time he participated in planning and coordin ating plans for military government con trol and administration of Germany. In recognition of this work he received the Legion of Merit award. Dr. Muelder also served for two years as chief of the Program Branch Control Office of the military government in Ger many, returning to MSC in 1947. His present post is one of the most vital of our country's military government in Germany today. indirect approach on He recently commented that we must the now use the Germans. The educator said, "WTe are interested in helping the Germans them selves to bring about certain changes. We have found that if our attitude is one of trying to work out problems in which we are all mutually interested, we accom plish more." Need Reference Materials Dr. Muelder feels that the largest con tribution of his group is the supplying the Germans with basic social science reference materials—things which have been denied them for 15 years. The MSC professor said that the edu cation group has a dual job—that of eradicating Nazism and also bringing about an understanding between the United States and Germany. Plans to accelerate the $300,000 memorial campaign were enthusiastically endorsed at the October meeting of the Alumni Advisory Council. In the above picture, Walter W.

N O V E M B E R, 1 9 48 . . .. 7 Spartans Aiming for 7-2-1 Football Record Coach "Biggie" Munn's ambitious Spartans, playing the toughest schedule in MSC history, are gunning for one of the best records in recent Spartan foot ball competition. With the three undefeated greats of 1947—Michigan, Notre Dame and Penn State—disposed of in a highly creditable manner, the Spartans are looking for ward to a seven won, two lost, and one tied record for the 1948 season. When the Green and White held Michi gan's mighty Wolverines to a hard- fought 13-7 victory in the season's open ing game, the football world rubbed its eyes. A week later, State rolled at will over a colorful and ever dangerous Hawaii team by a 68 to 21 score, with everyone on the Spartan bench getting a chance to play but the water boy. Then came Notre Dame, which was ranked tops in the national Associated Press ratings. Notre Dame won 26-7, but it was one of the toughest games they had played in the past two years. Michigan State, very much in the ball game until the last few minutes when Notre Dame intercepted a Spartan pass and scored the last touchdown, muffed no less than four scoring opportunities. They led Notre Dame through the first 25 minutes of play after striking pay dirt in the first few minutes of play. Against Arizona, Homecoming oppo nent, the Spartan regulars played only 20 minutes but the reserves continued to pour it on to rack up a 61 to 7 victory. It was a tough one for Mike Casteel, Arizona head coach, who was a Spartan coach for 15 years. In the Penn State game, which ended in a 14-14 tie, the Nittany Lions could well consider themselves lucky to have emerged with their unbroken string of 13 victories. Two State touchdowns, one on a fake kick 81-yard run by Ed Sobszak and another on a 100-yard in tercepted pass run by George Guerre, were nullified by clipping penalties against MSC. The Spartans were knock ing at the Penn State gate no less than four times during the final quarter, only to see alert pass defense and a fumble spoil their bid for an upset victory. With five games under their belts, the Spartans to be looked good enough ranked 17th in the nation in the Associ ated Press poll. Unless the Spartans fall apart at the seams, it seems a sure bet they will end up the season ranked as one of the top dozen football teams in the nation. 8 . . ..

Sugar Bowl Tilt with Louisiana State Opens MSC Boxing S e a s on Dec. 28 Fortified by two national champions, Coach George Makris is preparing his boxers for a return engagement in the Sugar Bowl tournament. The Spartans are scheduled to meet powerful Louisiana State University, victors last year by the slim margin of 4%-3%, in the New Orleans bowl Dec. 28. Viewing the stiff schedule to follow the Sugar Bowl classic, Makris, a former NCAA champion himself, is modest about Spartan prospects. " L a st season a our boys some close con- "but as the sea- lost m, si-^^^^m Speiser c uj^ schedule, 1 hope we can turn in the best record seen in many years at Michigan State." Heading a list of returning lettermen are Chuck Davey, three-time NCAA champion and Olympic participant, and Ernie Charboneau, newly crowned Na tional Collegiate flyweight titlist. Other returnees are Art Hughlett, heavyweight; George Smith, light-heavy weight; Phil Marshall, 165-pound; Pat Dougherty and Vito Klimivicus, 155- pound; Jack Tierney, 135-145-pound fighter. Eyeing the future, Makris looks for light-heavy ward to a new freshman weight, Chuck Speiser. The 18-year-old Speiser, another Olympic fighter, is con sidered by many the finest boxing pros pect to come from Detroit since Joe Louis. Up from freshman ranks this year are Gabby Marek, heavyweight; Jimmy Gemmel, 165-pounder; Bert Davey, broth er of champion Chuck; Bert Alderson, 165-pounder; and Hank Amos, rangy 130- pounder, who carries a prep-school record of 35 wins against a single loss and one draw.

Last year's team, one of the greatest in MSC history, won nine and lost none in dual competition and placed second in the NCAA champion ships. Two men are missing from the 1947 team, Gale Mikles, 165-pound star, and Gene McDonald, 128-pounder. The return of several lettermen and some outstanding sophomore prospects makes the wrestling picture brighter. Boh Maldegan, MSC Olympic heavy weight wrestler, and Dick Dickenson, NCAA 136-pound champ, will provide a firm foundation for the 1948 team. Other major include letter winners returning Don Anderson, 145-pound three-year let ter winner; John Dowell, Jack Dreiner, Pat Sullivan, and Bob Gang.

Jfalde+t, Via "Gvut QoApel 'haiml/' Made tlte Motion Jlil ^eacUuua GlaiMoam By Madison Kuhn It was Perry Holden sat listening to Professor the Agricultural College one Beal of January evening in 1876. the farmers' institute in Traverse City where Dr. Beal was describing his experiments in cross-breeding corn—discoveries that attracted the attention of Charles Darwin in England. Holden was thrilled. Nine years later he was a student at M.A.C., living in Dr. Beal's laboratory, tending his experimental corn plots, and learning the science of better seed. When Perry Holden came to M.A.C. he was plunged into the controversy over the daily farm tasks required of each student. The labor program was designed to provide an opportunity for the applica tion of the new discoveries of science to the practice of farming but Perry Holden spent his first afternoon cleaning a pig pen beneath a hot August sun. Little science was involved. Holden soon found himself a member, and later chairman, of a committee to improve the situation by securing the removal of the professor of agriculture. Carries Science To Farm better seed to every Iowa farmer who would listen. Thousands did. The train made twenty-minute stops while Profes sor Holden showed them how to select the best ears and how to test the kernels for germination. Three seasons were enough to cover the state and observers insist that Holden was a major cause for the rise in Iowa's corn yield from thirty bushels per acre to forty. Judging a corn show one night, Holden turned to the seventeen-year-old Henry Wallace and told him to plant seed from their the winning ears and compare yield. That experiment led to others out of which emerged Wallace's hybrid corn. Holden, who had been inspired by Beal's pioneer cross-breeding, struck a spark in Wallace, who was to convert the corn- belt to the use of hybrid seed. Ran for Governor in 1912 That was only the beginning. In 1906 he organized one of the first extension departments and first community short courses. So well-known and respected had Holden become that "Uncle Henry" time arrived When graduation there was a new professor of agriculture— Eugene Davenport—who was seeking two assistants who could make the labor program educational. As the assistant in farm crops, Holden devised means for moving science out of the classroom onto the farm. He set W. O. Hedrick to sort ing and testing seed potatoes, William C. Bagley to determining the effect of fanning on seed oats, and a group to determining why tile made soil moist in dry weather. They liked it. Science had been carried the farm and Perry Holden had begun a long career of taking scientific agriculture to a nation. to When Eugene Davenport, '78, went to Illinois as Dean of Agriculture he sent for Perry Holden. "When we were at M.A.C," he said, "the number one prob lem was student labor. That isn't ours for we have only sixteen students." Once more Holden had to carry science out of the classroom, even off the campus. Soon there were students at Urbana, but he had moved on to Iowa State College where the number one problem was corn. He produced books on corn that exceeded a million copies. Within a year or two the "Corn Gospel he was organizing the message of Trains" that carried 10 . .. . T HE R E C O RD Perry G.

His years of educa tion on the "Corn Gospel Trains" have ended, but his teachings have spread all over the nation and world. in to ran the Wallace persuaded him 1912 primary for governor. Holden had a message—"Make this a Greater Iowa" —but he now considers it fortunate that it takes more than a message to win an election. He had a useful message and delivered it didn't deliver votes. He was free once again to con tinue his educational work. it well, but Leads Extensive Campaign Iowa was a limited field and Holden moved on to organize the agricultural extension program of International Har twenty years were vester. The next strenuous ones; with offices in Chicago, and a home in Whitehall, Michigan, he spent much of his time away from both. There were bulletins to write, demonstra the tions, talks, conferences, and big campaigns when he organized crews indoctrinate whole re of speakers gions. Holden engineered the project which included eighteen hundred meet ings in Arkansas in 1915 to sell diversi fication; two thousand meetings in the Memphis area in forty-two days; count less meetings and conferences in Mis souri where he revolutionized the teach ing of agriculture in rural schools; and extensive campaigns in Utah, Alabama, and Texas. then to in those years Through all trains, Grange halls, Chautauqua circuits, and in rural school houses, Holden taught better farming and better living as well. Perhaps his most famous publication is Inter the booklet still distributed by national Harvester from which he retired fifteen years ago: YOUNG FOLKS—DO SOMETHING, BE SOMEBODY. His Motto: "Be Somebody" His "classroom" was the whole Missis sippi Valley and more, his "students" were numbered in the scores of thous ands. His message still echoes and re farmers gather, but echoes wherever Perry Holden, eighty-three now, lives quietly with his daughter and family (the Ellsworth Besemers, '22) in Charlevoix near the scenes of his pioneer boyhood, near the seven schools he taught sixty years ago, and near Traverse City where he first heard Professor Beal explain the mysteries of crossbred corn.

Critic Kelsey added: "It will be a thesaurus for future historians and nov elists who will want to know just how people lived in that place and period. Little has been the schools, the churches, the hotels, the homes, all are there.
