TO  ALUMNI  OF THE SCHOOL  OF BUSINESS  AND PUBLIC  SERVICE: 

Our  salutation  may have  misled you. 
You  probably  have  had to dig to discover 
that  you are an alumnus  of  this  school! 
We  are an infant  on the campus. Now 
in  its fifth  year,  the School  of  Business 
and  Public  Service  is  thriving  and  ex 
panding  to the  point  of being  a  very  big 
baby!  We've  had growing  pains,  we've 
burst  at the seams,  and we outgrew our 
original  facilities  in  a  most  amazing 
manner.  At  present  our  enrollment  is 
one  of the two  greatest  on campus, and 
we  boast  the largest  single  department— 
the  Department  of Business  Administra 
tion. 

School  Is  Reorganized 

With  the return  of the veterans  after 
the  war, many  young  men  felt  the need 
selecting  areas  of  specialization 
for 
which  would  prepare  them  for  work  in 
the  contact  fields  of  business  and  the 
public  services.  The  grouping  of  cer 
tain  departments  under  one administra 
tive  head  was felt  to  be  desirable, and 
the  following  departments  were 
trans 
ferred  to the new School  of Business and 
Public  Service:  Business  Administration, 
under  Prof.  E. A. Gee;  Hotel  Adminis 
tration,  Prof.  B. R. Proulx,  head;  Jour 
nalism,  headed  by Professor  A. A. Apple-
gate;  Physical  Education,  Health  and 
Recreation  for Men, directed  by Ralph H. 
Young;  Physical  Education,  Health and 
Recreation  for Women,  under  Prof.  L.  L. 
Lightring;  Police  Administration,  Prof. 
Arthur  Brandstatter,  Head;  Public Ad 
ministration,  directed  by  Prof.  W. H. 
Combs;  and Social  Service,  Prof.  E.  B. 
Harper,  head. 

Adjustment  Is  Made  Easier 

In  common  with  all schools  on campus, 
the  first  two years  of work  in the  School 
of  Business  and Public  Service  are done 
in  Basic  College.  At the same  time  that 
the  student  is fulfilling  his basic  require 
ments,  he  takes  prescribed  courses  in 
his  preference  area.  Each  student  in 
Basic  College  is  assigned  an  enrollment 

officer  in the department  of  his choice, 
and  in  this  way  there  is  very  little ad 
justment  to be made  when  he is  ti'ans-
ferred  into  the  school  of  Business and 
Public  Service  in his junior  year. 

Wide  Course  Selection  Offered 

The  Department  of  Business  Adminis 
tration  offers  work  in public  accountancy, 
insurance,  industrial  personnel,  commer 
cial  teaching,  real  estate  administration, 
secretarial  administration  and retail ad 
in  the 
ministration.  The  curriculum 

Dean  Rodney 

Department  of  Hotel  Administration  is 
offered  to  meet  the specific  demand  for 
personnel  adequately  trained  in  modern 
hotel  methods.  Students  are  prepared 
for  work  in  hotels,  clubs,  dormitories, 
restaurants,  and other  businesses  asso 
ciated  with  this  field.  The  Department 
of  Journalism  is fast  expanding,  and  now 
offers  complete  training  in  the  field of 
advertising  as  well  as  in  the  editorial 
preparation  for work  in public  relations, 
magazine  training,  and writing  for radio 
work. 

In  the departments  of  physical  educa 
tion  for men and women  a  degree  pro 
gram  prepares  students  for teaching, and 
for  work  in the  fields  of  recreation and 
physical  therapy.  The police  administra 
tion  curriculum  is  set up  to  fulfill  the 
growing  public  demand  for trained  peace 
officers  and executives,  and for  persons 
particularly  trained  in investigating  pro 
cedures.  The close  proximity  of  Michi 
gan  State  College  to the  Michigan  State 
its  highly 
Police  headquarters,  with 
trained  staff  of  executives  provides ex 
cellent  opportunities  for studying  modern 
police  methods.  A  separate  program  in 
the  area  of criminal  investigation  is  now 
offered  on campus. 

Train  for  Government  Service 

To  meet  government  demands  for col 
lege-trained  personnel,  the  Department 
of  Public  Administration  has  arranged 
a  curriculum  to prepare  men and  women 
for  administrative  positions  in  federal, 
state  or  local  government  service.  The 
requirements  of  the  program  give  the 
student  a broad  cultural  background  and 
the  necessary  tool  subjects  for  success 
ful  public  service.  Graduate  work  also 
may  be  taken 
leading  to  a  degree  of 
Master  of Arts  in Public  Administration. 

Opportunities  for  students  in  social 
service  include  rehabilitation  and  guid 
ance  of  veterans;  foreign  relief  and  re 
habilitation;  relocation  of  aliens;  guid 
ance  of  pre-delinquent  and  delinquent 
youth;  service  to physically  and  mentally 
ill  and to the handicapped.  The  Depart 
ment  of Social  Service  offers  a  four-year 
degree  program  and an  additional  fifth 
or  graduate  year  of  professional 
train 
ing  leading  to  a  degree  of  Master  of 
Arts  in Social  Service. 

We  are eager  to see and hear  from  our 
alumni.  A visit  from  you  will  afford  us 
an  opportunity  to  personally  infect you 
with  a  touch  of  this  enthusiasm  which 
we  have  for our baby! 

Sincerely, 

Dorsey  R. Rodney,  Dean.

MSC's  Entry  Into  Big  Ten 
Was  Long-Awaited  Event 

One  of  the  fondest  dreams  of  Michigan  State  College  for  the  past  20  years  has 

been  for  full-fledged  membership  in  the  powerful  Western  Conference. 

On  December  11, the  dream  came  true  when  Big  Nine  members  voted  unanimously 
to  accept  Michigan  State  as  a  "big  tenth"  to  their  group.  Only  routine  certification 
of  MSC's  athletic  standards  remained  prior  to  final  acceptance.  Other  members  of 
the  conference  are  Wisconsin,  Minnesota, 
Iowa,  Michigan,  Purdue,  Indiana,  Ohio 
State,  Northwestern  and  Illinois. 

ing  have  been  greatly  increased  with  a 
$30,000,000  building  program. 

Formal  application 

for  membership 
was  first  made  by  MSC  in  1946,  when 
the  University  of  Chicago  relinquished 
its  place  in  the  conference.  Michigan 
State,  however,  had  been  grooming  for 
'20's, 
eventual  membership 
and  college  athletic  and  educational  poli 
cies  had  been  patterned  accordingly. 

since 

the 

MSC  Has  Top  Athletic  Plant 

MSC's  athletic  plant,  rated  one  of  the 
best  in  the  country,  and  the  year-round 
performance  of 
athletic 
teams  during  the  past  few  years  gave 
impetus  to  the  college's  request

for  Big  Ten  membership.

recognition 

Other  factors  helped  Michigan  State 
in  its  bid  for  a  place  in  the  Western  Con 
ference.  Under  the  leadership  of  Pres. 
John  A.  Hannah,  the  college  had  gained 
national 
for  being  "lusty, 
ambitious  and  progressive."  Student  en 
rollment  had  risen  to  more  than  16,000 
in  the  fall  quarter  of  1948,  ranking  MSC 
the 
largest  college

Michigan  State  has  also  steadily 
in 
creased  the  scope  of  its  curriculum  until 
at  present  more  than  50  fields  of  study 
are  offered.  Although  still  ranked  as 
one  of  the  nation's  leaders  in  agricul 
tural  and  home  economics  training  and 
extension  work,  MSC  has  gained  increas 
ing  recognition  in  the  other  fields. 

Over  6,000  Students  Rally 

More than  6,000 students  rallied  around 
the  Memorial  Union  building  a  few  hours 
the  acceptance  news  was  flashed 
after 
from 
the  Western  Conference  meeting 
in  Chicago.  The  first  call  the  student 
crowd  made  was  to  the  campus  home  of 
President  Hannah,  who  delivered  a  short 
speech  about  the  news.  Afterwards,  the 
students  returned 
to  Grand  River  and 
Abbott  Road,  where  the  celebration  con 
tinued  until  after  midnight. 

Pres.  Hannah,  speaking  to  the  rally, 
said:  "I  am  sure  that  we  can  live  up 
to  Western  Conference  standards 
.  .  . 
We  are  a  great  university.  We  needed

STUDENT  AFFAIRS 

For  students,  Christmas  vacation  came 
as  a  welcome  two-weeks'  reprieve  from 
the  arduous  routine  of  textbooks,  class 
rooms  and  hikes  across  the  Red  Cedar. 

With  the  acceptance  of  Michigan  State 
as  tenth  member  of  the  elite  Western 
Conference, 
the  fall  quarter  ended  as 
one  of  the  most  eventful  in  college  his 
tory.  Not  since  Old  College  Hall  col 
lapsed  in  1918  had  students  been  so  ex 
cited.  More  than  6,000  postponed  final 
exam  "cramming" 
to  voice  boisterous 
approval  in  a  rollicking  rally  that  lasted 
nearly  three  hours  until  past  midnight.

Nearly  450  students  wrote  "finis"  to 
their  college  careers  during 
fall 
term.  This  total  included  371  who  com 
pleted  undergraduate  requirements  and 
an  additional  75  who  received  advanced 
degrees.  More  than  70  other  students 
completed  special  15-months  and 
two-
year  short  courses  at  the  end  of  the  fall 
quarter. 

Jeanne  Profit,  pretty  Cass  City  senior, 
was  chosen  as  Honorary  Colonel  of

BUDGET  REQUEST 

Michigan  State  College  has  requested 
a  1949-50  budget  of  $18,996,202  from  the 
Michigan  Legislature. 

Of  this  figure,  $10,676,204  is  marked 
for  operating  expenses  and  $8,320,000 
has  been  requested  for  additional  campus 
buildings.  According  to  college  officials, 
is  approximately 
this  building  request 
the 
the  same  as  one  turned  down  at 
last 
special  session  of  the  Legislature 
spring. 

High  on  the  list  of  building  requests 
is  $2,265,000  for  a  new  veterinary  medi 
cine  building.  The  dire  need  for  improve 
ment  of  present  veterinary  facilities  was 
highlighted  last  summer  when  the  col 
lege's  School  of  Veterinary  Medicine  was 
placed  on  probation  by 
the  American 
Veterinary  Medical  Association.  Failure 
to  improve  these  "inadequate 
facilities 
and  working  conditions"  may  result  in

FACULTY  AFFAIRS 

With  the  publication  of  three  books 
and  the  announcement  of  the  impending 
production  of  another,  the  MSC  faculty's 
growing  list  of  authors  made  fall  a  busy 
literary  season. 

"The  Hickory  Stick,"  a  novel  by  Virgil 
Scott,  assistant  professor  of  English, 
was  listed  among  the  best  sellers  dur

Climaxing  five  years  of  collecting  facts 
and  figures  in  the  fields  of  mate  selection, 
courtship,  and  marriage  problems, 
its 
title  is  "Building  a  Successful  Marriage." 
While  the  book  is  designated  primarily 
as  a  text  book,  another  edition  is  slated 
to  follow  soon,  designed  for  the  general 
book  trade. 

The  Michigan  State  College  Press  re 
cently  announced  the  forthcoming  pub 
lication,  probably  late  this  winter,  of  a 
new  book  by  Dr.  Russell  Nye,  head  of  the 
English  department.  Entitled  "Fettered 
Freedom,"  the  book  will  deal  with  civil 
liberties  and 
the  slavery  controversy 
during 
the  period  1830-1850.  Dr.  Nye

Because  it  promises  to  reduce  losses

boasts  the  only  music  therapy  curriculum 
in  the  nation,  and  its  director,  Roy  L. 
Underwood. 

Has  Gained  Wide  Attention 

Since  its  conception  in  1932  at  Wayne 
County  Hospital  in  Eloise,  Michigan,  the 
use  of  music  in  treatment  of  mental  ills 
has  gained  nation-wide  attention.  It  has 
been  used  successfully  in  mental  hospi 
tals  all  over  the  nation  and  the  public 
has  given  loud  praise  for  all  its  high 
light  achievements.

months'  internship  at  Eloise  in  addition 
to  music,  psychology,  sociology  and  other 
specialized  courses. 

Two  graduates  of  this  course,  Arnold 
Lo  Patin,  Kalamazoo  State  Hospital

Dr.  E.  T.  Hallman  Retires 

After  36  Years  on  Faculty 

Dr.  E.  T.  Hallman,  a  member  of  the 
Michigan  State  College  faculty  for  36 
years  and  at  present  head  of  the  Depart 
ment  of  Animal  Pathology,  will  retire 
July  1. 

Named  in  May  to  replace  Dr.  Hallman 
was  Dr.  Russell  A.  Runnells,  formerly 
head  of  the  anatomy  department.  Dr. 
Runnells  is  at  present  acting  head  of  the 
Department  of  Animal  Pathology  while 
Dr.  Hallman  is  on  leave. 

Dr.  Hallman,  during  his  career  at 
Michigan  State,  received  many  state  and 
national  honors.  He  is  a  former  presi 
dent  of  the  Michigan  State  Veterinary 
Medicine  Association  and  of

Voice  Needs  of  Field 

Music  helps  socialize  patients  who  are 
belligerent  to  a  group  and  makes  them 
relax  and  feel  accepted  by  society.  The 
therapists  point  out,  however,  that  the 
goal  of  the  music  is  not  to  create  artists, 
but  to  rehabilitate  the  patients.

Dr.  Felber  had  done  extensive  research 
in  plant  diseases.  Her  most  recent  work 
concerned  the  discovery  of  the  properties

Michigan  State  Accepted  Into  Big Ten 

Michigan  State  has  hit 

the  athletic 
jackpot  in  joining  the  Western  Confer 
ence,  the  most  powerful  and 
influential 
organization  of  its  kind  in  the  nation. 

The  decision  by  Western  Conference 
faculty  representatives  to  honor  State's 
two-year-old  application  for  membership 
came  as  a  climax  to  the  loop's  annual 
meeting  in  Chicago  Dec.  10-13.  It  was 
a  unanimous  decision,  reached  on  one 
ballot  after  day-long  discussion  of 
the 
Spartan  case. 

Final  O.K.  Due  in  Spring 

Although 

the  acceptance  was  condi 
tional,  all  that  remained  before  Michigan 
State  would  be  a  full-fledge  member 
of  the  Big  Ten  was  routine  certification 
of  the  college's  athletic  standards.  This 
is  expected 
in  early 
Spring. 

to  be  completed 

the  Western  Conference, 

MSC  has  been  playing  athletic  teams 
including 
of 
Wisconsin,  Ohio  State,  Michigan,  Minne 
sota,  Indiana,  Illinois,  Purdue,  North 
western,  and  Iowa  for  many  years.  It  is 
expected  that  Spartan  teams  will  have 
in  all  sports 
full  conference  schedules 
but  football,  starting  in  the  Fall  of  1949. 

Full  Grid  Schedule  by  1953 

Football  is  an  exception  because  the 
its 
Western  Conference,  far  behind 
in 
scheduling,  felt  forced  to  complete 
its 
grid  programming  through  1952  at  the 
Chicago  session.  This  does  not  eliminate 
the  possibility  that  Michigan  State  will 
not  be  playing  for  the  football  conference 
title  before  1953.  Due  to  the  fact  that 
a  member  has  only  to  play  five  games  in 
order  to  be  eligible  for  the  title,  this  may 
be  possible  by  1951. 

Two  games  with  Western  Conference 
teams  already  are  carded  for  1950—with 
Michigan  and  Minnesota—and 
two  or 
three  more  are  in  the  offing. 

All  other  sports  are  scheduled  on  a 
much  shorter  term  basis,  so  it  will  be 
possible  for  Spartan 
to  engage 
on  a  regular  schedule  as  a  member  of 
the  Big  Ten  as  soon  as  the  final  certi 
fication  of  athletic  standards 
is  com 
pleted.

Veteran  tackle  Pete  Fusi  led  all  Spar 
tan  football  players  in  length  of  game 
the  1948  season.  The 
service  during 
Flint,  Mich.,  tackle  played  a 
total  of 
437  minutes  out  of  a  possible  600  minutes 
throughout  a  rugged  ten-game  schedule. 
Don  Mason  and  Ed  Bagdon,
