TO THE ALUMNI OF MICHIGAN STATE COLLEGE: They are obligated to defend with vigor the system which gave them their chance for higher education, and they are obli gated to help search out the youngsters of outstanding ability or promise and see to it that they take advantage of the opportunities open to them. By approving a scholarship program commensurate with the size of the post war Michigan State College, the State Board of Agriculture has made it pos sible for at least one outstanding gradu ate of every approved high school in Michigan to enter the college each year Over a period of more than a year, you have been reading open letters from the deans of the several schools, and I am sure that from them you have gained new appi'eciation and understanding of the college to which we all owe so much. As an alumnus I share your pride that Michigan State is becoming better and more favorably known throughout the nation, year by year. Truly, a tre mendous amount has been accomplished for the good of Michigan and America in the 94 years since the Legislature estab lished this institution. is always diligent College Looks to Bright Future But what has been done is history, and no institution can long thrive on its record. It must ever concentrate on its day-to day accomplishments while keeping an eye on the future. That Michigan State is never content with past accomplish ments but in self- improvement and in searching out new opportunities to be of service is one of its finest and best traditions.

I have no compunctions about asking you to urge outstanding athletes that are good students to enroll at MSC. Were I concerned only to see that Spartan teams do well in competition, I could be criticized justifiably. But at Michigan State, where intercollegiate athletics are an incidental part of the educational process and not a separate money- looked making enterprise, athletes are upon simply as young men of exceptional promise who will profit more than the average student from a college education. Seek Outstanding Students interested But we are no more in athletes than we are in other young peo ple of outstanding promise—musicians, orators, scholars, and those with unmis takable earmarks of potential leadership in all fields of honorable human endeavor. Many such will gravitate to Michigan State naturally, but more must be re cruited if the quality of our students is the to keep pace with opportunities available to them here. We depend on our alumni to be our most effective advocates. the quality of I can promise you that the faculty and administrative officials will continue doing their best in the interests of the college and those it serves, but alumni, their responsibilities.

By JOHN C. LEONARD An estimated 1,200 MSC alumni will return to the East Lansing campus for a week-end of meetings, banquets, dances and reunions with old friends and school mates June 3, 4, and 5. Registration will begin at 2 p.m. Friday in the Student Union and conclude Saturday morning. Official Alumni Day is designated as Saturday, according to Tom King, alumni relations director, but alumni will have a full schedule from Friday noon to Sun day afternoon when they will watch a record class of approximately 3,000 stu dents receive bachelor's and advanced degrees. New Union to be Completed Alumni headquarters this year will be in one of the most modern and com pletely equipped college union buildings in the nation. Addition during the past year of a four-story south wing and en largement of portions of the present Union will be completed June 1, accord ing to Leslie Scott, union manager. He added that cost of modernizing the build ing came to about $3,000,000. During leisure moments students and alumni will have access to 16 bowling alleys, the Union cafeteria, ballroom, club rooms, and other facilities. Week-end highlight for alumni will be the Patriarchs Club golden anniversary banquet which this year honors the class of 1899. President John A. Hannah will preside at the affair, scheduled for 12:15 p.m. Saturday. With the entrance of this new "freshman" class, Patriarchs now number 250. Also highlighting the week-end will be the Silver Anniversary banquet for the class of 1924. Other classes holding banquets in the new sec ond floor dining rooms are 1895, 1904, 1909, 1914, 1919, 1929, 1934, 1939, and 1944. All other alumni will assemble in the Union ballroom for Saturday lunch eon at 12:30 p.m. Graduates Will View Baseball Games On both Friday and Saturday alumni will watch the Spartan baseball team in action against Bradley University at Old College Field. the Alumni will also be on hand for two evenings of MSC's the last largest spring festival, "Water Carnival." Fol lowing land-float parade Saturday morning will be the formal dedication of the MSC Student Union Building. Sat urday evening alumni will carry out their own "Alumni tradition, Dance," held in the Union ballroom at 9 p.m. annual the The new "south wing" of the MSC Student Union will enlarge the building to twice its former size. The addition, which adds 21 new rooms, including a large main floor lounge, is scheduled for completion June 1 in time to accommo date the expected record attendance of returning MSC graduates for Alumni Day.

The action of the college in December, 1948, came as a climax to more than two years of differences between the Mt. Morris senior and the college administration. This was a case which attracted state and national attention, particularly after Zarichny was convicted of contempt by the Michigan Senate last year for re fusal to state whether he was a member of the Communist Party. Zarichny's troubles started in 1946 when the Student Council, popularly elected governing body of MSC students, refused recognition to a campus Ameri can Youth for Democracy group. Six members of the now defunct AYD, includ ing Zarichny, defied the Council's ruling and continued campus operations. In February, 1947, on strong recom mendation by the Council, these students were placed on disciplinary probation, which restricted all extra-curricular ac tivities. During the next few months, all of the students except Zarichny re quested and the probationary status. removal of received Zarichny continued to engage in non- academic activities, and in June 1947 his roommate complained that Zarichny was their room for many activities, using including distribution of Communist In the spring of 1948 Party literature. the he was convicted of contempt by Michigan Senate, but the college took no action, in spite of much unfavorable pub licity, because Zarichny had not violated the rules of his probation. federal On Dec. 6, 1948, Zarichny arranged and conducted a meeting featuring a speech by Carl Winter, leader of Michi gan's Communist Party and one of 11 Communists under indictment. The meeting, attended by about 50 stu dents, was held in the College House, owned by Peoples Church of East Lan sing, and a favorite meeting place of students. Church officials, unaware of the true purpose of the meeting, pro tested to college officials on learning the facts. In January, the Michigan Supreme Court, in a 24-hour consideration, threw out Zarichny's petition for reinstatement. In effect, this OK'ed the college's action as within its disciplinary powers, and as not depriving him of any constitu tional rights. 4 . . . . TH E R E C O RD A New Research Opens three-year program of research studies into the cultural background of financed by a the Great Lakes area, grant of $30,000 from the Rockefeller Foundation of New York, will begin soon at Michigan State College. The project will seek to trace the his torical, political, sociological and over-all cultural development of the area border ing the Great Lakes, both in the United States and Canada. This financial grant will give added impetus to the college's growing program in the field of social studies. During the past few years, Michigan State faculty members have conducted more than 30 localized studies along the general lines of the present project. The fund will be administered by a to be appointed by special committee President Hannah. Although it is ex pected that MSC will conduct the major part of these studies, funds will be avail able to members of other institutions whose projects are approved by the com mittee. According to Dr. Russel B. Nye, head of the MSC Department of English, the research work will be carried on by the School of Science and Arts, under the direction of Dean Lloyd C. Emmons. This endowment was included in the $35,777 in gifts and grants accepted March 2 by the State Board of Agricul ture, governing body of the college. At the February meeting, $8,650 in gifts and grants was accepted for the college. Same Old Story It's still the man who pays—and college men are no exception! Findings in a recent survey conducted by Michigan State College journalism students show twice that male students spend nearly as much money as coeds. classes Fifty students enrolled in advertising research average found monthly amount spent by a male student to be $44.36—by a woman student, $27.41. This was exclusive of books, tuition, room and board. the Total amount spent by 905 students queried was $35,558.50, and research stu dents estimated spend approximately $1,000,000 per annum in the East Lansing-Lansing area. that Spartans Major purpose of the survey, which involved well over 170 stores, shops and eating establishments in the East Lan sing-Lansing area, was to make available to businessmen in a college community facts about their present and potential customers.

The Student Council, which originally brought action against Zarichny, refused to reconsider his case, and the Michigan State News, student newspaper, voiced agreement with an editorial "Zarichny Deserved Fate." The Michigan press unanimously endorsed Michigan State for its action. Almost everyone was satisfied—every one but Zarichny, the Young Progress ives of America and the Civil Rights Congress of New York, which added Zarichny "persecuted" Americans, along with the 11 Communist leaders under federal indictment. list of its to As far as the college is concerned, the case was closed when it refused to readmit James Zarichny last December. New ROTC Officers William L. Merrill, Jr., Sacramento, Calif, junior, has been named cadet the colonel and commanding officer of Reserve Officers Training Corps at Mich igan State. This was one of 47 student appoint ments to high posts made in the 2,500- man ROTC unit in March, according to Capt. R. W. Samuel, corps adjutant. New cadet lieutenant colonels who will serve as regimental staff members with Merrill are: Robert Bristol, Battle Creek; Ernest Rajala, Kaleva; Edward Zbiciak. Flint; Jacob Refson, East Lansing; John Main, Birmingham; and Fred Burnett, John Hayes, Harold Robinson, Lawrence Till, and Douglas Wyllie, all of Detroit. THE A F F A I RS OF S T A TE Faculty Affairs Michigan State College faculty members continued to distinguish themselves dur ing the past two months, with advance ments to national positions and winning of high awards in their various fields. The Jackson Dawson medal for out horticulture was in recently standing work awarded to D r. H. B. T u k e y, h e ad of the MSC Depart ment of Horticul ture. The honor, the na one of top horti tion's cultural citations, was given to the c o l l e ge scientist for skill in hy- b r i d i z a t i on and propagation of hardy, woody plants. Tukey Dr. Judson T. Landis, of the MSC Department of Sociology and Anthropol ogy, and his brother, Dr. Paul H. Landis, chairman of the Division of Rural Soci ology at Washington State College, have completed revision of their book, "Social in 1938, Living." The book, published has become one of leading high school sociology texts in the nation. the Recently elected secretary-treasurer of Sigma Delta Psi, national athletic hon orary society, was Dr. Randolph W. Webster, chairman of graduate studies in the Department of Physical Education at MSC. Dr. Webster, who has been on the MSC faculty since 1946, has gained national prominence as a speaker, and has written numerous articles dealing with physical education which have ap peared in leading athletic magazines. Student Affairs Nearly 15,000 students returned to Michigan State College for the final term in the 1948-49 school year after a week's vacation. At the end of winter term 450 students received degrees, including 379 undergraduates and 61 graduate stu dents. In addition, approximately 325 short course students participated in gradu ation exercises held in the MSC Fairchild theater Friday afternoon, March 4. Highlight of the day was the commence ment address delivered by Governor G. Mennen Williams. Later in the after noon Gov. Williams watched his brother Henry, who owns a ranch at Glenwood, Colo., receive a diploma for completion of study in dairy manufacturing. During March and April attended numerous all-college students social functions. Capacity audiences heard and the Robert Shaw Chorale which liked appeared April 4 on the MSC lecture- concert series. Final concert for the 1948-49 season is to be the Metropolitan Opera soprano, Nadine Conner, April 20.

Are 60 members of the MSC Men's Glee Club, under Director David Machtel, singing their ver- sion of "MSC Shadows," which may well be Michigan State's new Alma Mater. Written by Barney Traynor in 1927 while he was Spartan line coach, "MSC Shadows" polled a popular student vote of 6,087 of the total 11,383 ballots cast. The present school song, adopted in 1907 as the college's first Alma Mater, placed second with 2,070 votes. Final ad ministrative approval is expected in late April.

After a two- year drought, Anthony redeemed himself by extracting four and one-half pounds of milk in three minutes to beat five other department heads. Dean Anthony denied that he won because he had drawn an unusually co operative cow. "I have modestly kept in the background in previous contests," he said, "because I felt my agriculture back ground gave me unfair advantage." Close behind was Engineering Dean L. G. Miller, and last year's winner, Dean of Students S. E. Crowe. Other deans entered in the contest were C. S. Bryan, D. R. Rodney and L. C. Emmons, who was struck by misfortune when his cow kicked the bucket. "Mothers" In Demand "Mother's Day" may be a little late this year for men living in fraternity and cooperative houses at Michigan State College, but these students have an "eye out" for someone to call "mother" the rest of their college careers. A new ruling, scheduled to go into this September, will put house effect mothers into all off-campus living units for in college history. Faculty representatives have not been a necessary the 38 years since the Hesperian Society built the first off- campus house. item for the first time the When ladies the new to occupy regulation was an nounced last April, the various houses began remodeling and looking for suit "maternal able suites." But after a year of casting about by 28 fraternity and co-op houses, it seems that locating "mothers" to meet both student and administrative approval is not a simple task. Thus far, according to Counselor for Men Dale Faunce, only eight of the 21 fraternities and none of the cooperative houses have secured house mothers. More than willing to jump the gun on the May 8 observance, these students are earnestly seeking someone to be a social hostess and "take the place of a mother" in their houses. She should be 40-65 years of age, preferably a college gradu ate, but most important of all, she should be understanding, tolerant, and capable of providing stimulation for sound social living, Faunce said. As the deadline approaches, these students have made Michigan State every day "Mother's Day," and they hope to see their ideal materialize prior to September 19.

Rodney who will retire July 1 after 12 years service with MSC. The appointment was one of the major ad ministrative changes approved March 2 by the State Board of Agriculture. Other action included appointments of Dr. Clifford M. Hardin as director of the Agricultural Experiment Station; Dr. Charles C. Killingsworth as head of the Department of Soil Sciences; Dr. Lloyd M. Turk as head of the Department of Economics; and the naming of Dr. Milton E. Muelder as head of the newly-created Department of Political Science and Public Administration. All appointments are effective July 1. Dean Rodney to Retire Dean Rodney was commandant of the college ROTC for six years, and served as coordinator of military affairs prior to his appointment as dean in 1944. He was an officer in the U. S. Army for 40 years after graduation from West Point in 1903. Final for Dean Rodney will be in July, 1950, following a year's leave, at which time he will be come Dean-Emeritus of the school. retirement Dr. Wyngarden came to MSC in 1924. and has been head of the economics de partment since 1943. Graduated from the University of Washington, he holds M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the Uni versity of Michigan. Dr. Hardin, who received his B.S.. M.S.. and Ph.D. degrees from Purdue University, joined the MSC staff in 1944. He was named assistant director of the Agricultural Experiment Station in 1943. Muelder to Return from Foreign Duty is at present assistant Dr. Muelder director of the Division of Educational the U. S. and Cultural Relations for Military Government in Germany. A member of the MSC staff since 1935. Dr. Muelder received his bachelor's degree from Knox College, his M.S. degree from the University of Freiburg, Germany, and his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. Dr. Killingsworth, a national authority in. the field of labor economics, has been on the MSC faculty since 1947. He re ceived his B.S. degree from Missouri State College, his M.S. degree from Okla homa A & M, and his Ph.D. degree from the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Turk, who will head the Depart ment of Soil Science, came to Michigan State College in 1932. He received his B.S.. M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the Universitv of Missouri. 6 . . T HE R E C O RD Turk Hardin Killingsworth Wyngarden Prof. Horn Voices Need for Added Research in Public School Buildnig Critical need for an intensive national research program in the field of public school building has been voiced by Prof. Carl M. Horn, director of continuing education at Michigan State. Horn directed a week-long "Flying Classroom" study of school construction, and business, industry and education co operation in February. Approximately 60 key public school administrators and architects from a dozen states took part in the flying field study in Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago and St. Louis. This was the fifth "Classroom" sponsored by MSC and directed by Horn. On basis of the recent study and a month-long national tour last summer, Prof. Horn said: "No one seems to know exactly what is needed in school build ings, although a couple of billion dollars may be spent for this purpose in the next decade." "There is a definite need for such a local com- research program so that MSC Friends of the Library Elect Russel Nye President Dr. Russel B. Nye. head of the Department of English at Michigan State College, was elected president of the MSC Friends of the Library at a in East Yakeley Hall dinner meeting Feb. 17. He succeeds Col. John L. White- law, formerly commanding officer of the Reserve Officers Training Corps at MSC, who resigned last September after being- assigned to Trieste, Italy. Other officers elected were Dr. W. O. Hedrick, first vice-president; Tom King, second vice-president; Dr. Irma Gross, third vice-president; Philip J. May, treas urer; and Jackson E. Towne, secretary. munities, as well as states, may know exactly what type of buildings to con struct for the greatest benefit to the whole community, serving both youth and adult populations, and at a cost the taxpayer will be able to pay," Horn said. This proposal was unanimously endorsed by members of the "Flying Classroom." The research program would probably take two years to complete, and at cost of at least $1,000,000. Horn suggested that this money could be secured from several sources, but preferably through a private research endowment or the U. S. Office of Education. MSC Ranked Tops In Nation In Landscape Architecture The Michigan State College Depart ment of Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning ranks first in the nation in enrollment, according to survey find ings released by the American Society of Landscape Architects. The department, which was organized in 1922, now has 130 students enrolled in landscape architecture courses, according to Harold W. Lautner, campus landscape architect. He added that 26 students will be graduated during 1948-49, the highest number of majors in landscape archi tecture of any school in the country. The survey rated enrollment of be tween 25 and 30 leading landscape archi tecture schools in the nation, Lautner said. Five others which ranked highest in the survey were: University of Illi nois, 94 enrollment; Iowa State College. 81; University of California, 70; Univer sity of.

Skamser, associate professor of engineering. Main purpose of the Exposition, Skas- mer said, "is to acquaint students with the school, and to give alumni and other interested persons a chance to see the progress being made in the engineering program at Michigan State College." Tours of the complete engineering plant have been arranged, and numerous displays, industrial movies, and new teaching facilities will be on display, Skamser said. The Exposition will mark official dedication of the new MSC Elec trical Engineering building. farmer.

WTith the proper selection of water bug species that will withstand Michigan weather extremes, the less hardy can be replaced by the stronger, to the delight of fish and fishermen. A wide variety of insects, both harm ful and beneficial, need concentrated study in relation to weather in Michigan, according to Dr. Hutson. He explained that work of this kind has been out of the question because of lack of facilities. Much headway, he believes, can now be made in checking the inroads insect pests make into production of Michigan food products and lending a helping hand to helpful bugs—thanks the new Na tural Science building. to Music Courses for High School Students Offered The fourth annual School Music Spe cial Courses for high school students will be held at Michigan State from June 27 to July 16, according to Prof. William R. Sur, director of the short course. More than 250 aspiring musicians from high schools all over the state of Michi gan are expected to enroll in the three- week session. A wide variety of courses will be offered, including instruction and practical experience in voice, band con ducting, radio broadcasting, and all in struments used in band and orchestra performance. All students will partici the specially organized band, pate orchestra or choir during their stay on the Spartan campus. Private lessons in all fields will also be available, Dr. Sur said. in The Music Department is also offering 26 courses, designed for school music teachers, during the first six-week sum mer session of the college starting June 21. All of these courses may be applied for college credit. Job Security Rated High By High School Students A majority of high school students would prefer to work where labor unions are allowed, a survey by the Social Re search Service of Michigan State Col lege has revealed. In the study directed by Dr. Christo the Department of pher Sower of Sociology and Anthropology, 7,000 soph omores and seniors from 56 Michigan high schools were quizzed. The project was financed by a Michigan Bell Tele phone Company grant and carried out in cooperation with the Communication Workers of America. Fifty-nine per cent of the boys and girls would prefer to work where labor unions are allowed, although only nine per cent would like to work where union is compulsory and 17 per membership forbidden. cent where labor unions are These students exhibited security con sciousness, Dr. Sower said, with only eight per cent of the girls and 23 per cent of the boys preferring a job with high income but with little security. Other conclusions reached in the study were: The typical student believes he will get ahead by working hard, and he wants to work, regardless of financial necessity; he prefers a boss who fre checks employe's work, and quently allows employes to make many job deci sions; and the average student wants a "white collar" job, although he does not necessarily expect to get it. Forced Warm Air Meeting Attracts 250 Engineers Approximately 250 leading mid-west ern engineers in the field of heating and ventilation participated in the eighteenth annual Forced Warm Air Conference held at MSC March 21-24. The conclave, believed to be the only one of its type in the nation, is sponsored by the School of Engineering.

He recognized, and said so, that in an outdoors meet with its numerous field events, the Trojans figured to win. in However, he also knew that the running events from the quarter-mile through the two-mile and in the relays, his Spartans would look very good in the deed. Schlademan also knew that meet would bring the prestige of Michi gan State in the track and field world to an all-time high. Few even attempt to challenge Southern California's supre macy any more, and the eyes of sports- writers and track followers all over the country would be on his team.
