Western  Conference 
Group  Inspects  NSC 

Michigan  State  got  its  final  examina 
into  the  Western 
tion  for  acceptance 
Conference  in  mid-April,  but  the  results 
were  to  be  withheld  until  a  meeting  of 
the  conference  faculty 
representatives, 
scheduled  for May 19-21 at  Evanston, 111. 
MSC  was  tentatively  accepted  at  the 
December  meeting  of  the  conference. 

LATEST: 

Michigan  State  College  was 
officially  accepted  into  the  Western 
Conference  at  a  meeting  of  faculty 
representatives  of  the  group  in 
Evanston,  111., May  21. The  Spartans 
will  begin  athletic  competition  in 
the  conference  in the academic  year 
1950-1951,  with  the  exception  of 
football.  Michigan  State  replaces 
the  University  of  Chicago  in  the 
Big  Ten, and  this  move  marks  the 
first  time  since  1939 that  the power 
ful  conference  has  been  at  full 
strength. 

A  three-man  committee,  composed  of 
Big  Nine  Commissioner  Kenneth  "Tug" 
Wilson,  Dr. Kenneth  Little  of  Wisconsin 
and  chairman  of  the  committee,  and Dr. 
Paul  Bloomers  of  Iowa,  spent  three  days 
on  the Spartan  campus  over  the April 15 
week-end. 

Main  purpose  of  the 

investigation, 
considered  a  routine  procedure  by  most 
observers,  was  to  determine  whether 
Michigan  State's  academic  and  athletic 
standards  compare  favorably  with  those 
of  the  Western  Conference  schools.  Dr. 
Little  said  that  the  committee  was  pri 
marily  interested  in the extent  of  faculty 
control  of  athletics,  any  program  of 
financial  aid to athletes,  and the college's 
academic  standards. 

College  Officials  Optimistic 
Although  the  committee  members  de 
clined  to  comment  on  the  results  of  the 
study,  they  admitted  they  were  "favor 
ably  impressed"  with  the  Spartan  phys 
ical  plant  and  athletic  facilities.  Most 
newspapers 
the  state  re 
ported  "a  friendly  attitude"  on the  part 
of  the conference  group.  College  officials 
were  obviously  optimistic  and  confident 
that  MSC would  measure  up  favorably 
with  the Big Nine  schools.

Michigan  State  College's  91st  annual 
Commencement,  scheduled  for  June  5  in 
Jenison  Fieldhouse,  will  highlight  a  full 
program  of  events  over 
the  June  3-5

graduation  program  will  begin  at  2  p.m. 
Sunday. 

Lilienthal  Will  Speak 

The  address  of  David  E.  Lilienthal, 
chairman  of  the  United  States  Atomic 
Energy  Commission,  will  be  the  feature 
of  the  Commencement  ceremonies. 

Lilienthal,  a  key  figure  in  the  federal 
government  since  1933  when  he  became 
a  director  of  the  Tennessee  Valley  Au 
the  USAEC  since 
thority,  has  headed 
1945.  He  was  co-author  of  the  Acheson-
Lilienthal  Report,  used  as  a  basis  for 
the  famed  Baruch  Plan,  America's  pro 
inter 
posal  to  the  United  Nations  for 
national  control  of  atomic  energy.  A 
graduate  of  DePauw  and  Harvard  uni 
versities,  Lilienthal  also  holds  an  honor

As  Legislature  Adjourns  May  21 

The  Michigan  Legislature  adjourned 
its  regular  session  May  21  without  mak 
ing  an  appropriation  for  the  operation  of 
Michigan  State  College  for  the  fiscal  year 
beginning  July  1.  College  authorities  had 
requested  $8,500,000. 

The  House  approved  earlier  an  appro 
priation  of  $7,163,254  and  the  Senate 
voted  to  boost  that  amount  to  $8,160,000. 
A  hopeless  deadlock  developed

Final  adjournment 

for 
June  23.  Ordinarily,  few  legislators  re 
turn  for  this  routine  one-day  meeting, 
but  it  is  hoped  by  college  authorities  that 
a  quorum  in  each  house  will  be  present 
June  23  so  that  funds  can  be  voted.  The 
Extension  Service  and  the  Experiment 
Station,  as  well  as  the  college  itself,  will 
be  without  funds  July  1  unless  action  is 
taken  at  that  time. 

The  University  of  Michigan,  the  state 
colleges  of  education,  the  Michigan  Col 
lege  of  Mining  and  Technology,  the  State 
Department  of  Public  Instruction,  and  a 
number  of  other  educational  institutions 
and  agencies  also  were  left  without  funds 
when  the  Legislature  adjourned. 

The  Legislature  appropriated  $90,600 

with  which  to  prepare  plans  for  the  pro 
posed  building  to  relieve  the  critical  situ 
ation  in  the  School  of  Veterinary  Medi 
cine.  The  college  had  made  an  urgent 
request  for  $2,265,000  for  construction  of 
the  building.

THE  A F F A I RS  OF  S T A TE 

STUDENT  AFFAIRS 

As  the  1948-49  college  year  drew  to 
a  close,  the  spotlight  fell  on  the  record-
breaking  senior  class  and  a  full  schedule 
of  senior  activities,  which  got  under  way 
May  5 with  Senior  Swingout. 

A 

total  of  1,778  seniors,  plus  154 
graduate  students,  were  scheduled 
to 
complete  work  for  their  degrees  during 
the  Spring  quarter,  and  an  additional  535 
looked  forward  to  completion  of  require 
ments  during  the  summer  sessions.  This

monies,  President 
charged 
Hannah 
the  assembled  seniors  to  be  alert  to  the 
challenge  to  American  democracy  which 
exists  today.  He  warned  the  students  not 
to  trade  the  American  way  of  life  for 
a  "pig  of  any  color  in  a  poke  of  any 
texture."  He  added  that  a  college  degree 
is  not  a  symbol  of  superiority,  but  a 
symbol  of  obligation. 

Pres.  Hannah  also  presented  the  State 
Board  of  Agriculture  scholarships 
to 
four  students  at  the  ceremonies.  They 
were  John  H.  Brown,  Vicksburg,  whose 
2.98  scholastic  average  out  of  a  possible 
3.0  is  the  highest  ever  attained  at  MSC; 
Marilyn  Pierson,  East  Lansing;  Jack  A. 
Clark,  Bay  City;  and  Roy  A.  Paananen 
of  Marquette. 

A  number  of  traditional  events  were 
also  taken  in  by  the  senior  class  during 
May.  Senior  Ball 
took  place  May  6, 
senior  dances  were  held  May  4,  11  and 
the  senior  play  "Romeo  and  Juliet"  was 
performed  May  18-21  in  Fairchild  Thea 
took 
ter.  The  President's  Reception 
place  May  24  in  the  Union,  and 
the 
annual  "Lantern  Night"  ceremony  was 
held  May  31. 

A  malady  usually  associated  with  the 
Spring  season  caused  a  few  chuckles 
around  the  Spartan  campus  during  April. 
On  complaints  from  "the  outside  public," 
to  stem  a  wave  of 
the  college  acted 
"smooching"  which  hit  the  campus.  With 
the  aid  of  a  few  well  placed  reprimands 
and 
the 
two  days  of  cooler  weather, 
"problem"  was  alleviated.  A  well-known 
Michigan  newspaper  quipped:  "A  fight

Another  alteration 
name  was  proposed 
last  month  when 
Rep.  Harold  W.  Hungerford  (R-Lansing) 
introduced  a  bill  in  the  State  Legislature 
to  change  MSC  to  Michigan  State  Uni 
versity  of  Agriculture  and  Applied  Sci 
ence.  While  the  college  watched  with 
placid  interest,  the  bill  was  pigeon-holed 
in  the  Committee  on  Education  for  future 
consideration. 

Nine  hundred  couples  danced  to 

the 
tunes  of  Ray  Anthony  and  his  orchestra 
at  the  annual  Mardi  Gras  dance  April 
24  in  the  college  auditorium.  Track  Star 
Jack  Dianetti,  East  Rochester,  N.  Y. 
junior,  and  Pat  Halloran,  Ridgewood,  N. 
J.  senior,  were  elected  as  king  and  queen 
of  the  affair. 

In  Spring  elections  held  April  28,  a 
record  vote  of  4,843  ballots  were  cast 
for  s o p h o m o r e,

seats  on  the  Stu

H a n d s o me  Ed 
Pino  from  Lan

fought  an 
"underdog"  battle 
to  cop  the  senior 
class  presidency 
from  Douglas  B.

from 
elected  were  James  Snodgrass, 
Pierceton,  Ind.,  junior  class  president; 
and  John  Ringle,  Grand  Rapids,  sopho 
more  class  president. 

Two Win  Fellowships 

Two  graduate  students  at  Michigan 
State  were  recently  awarded  fellowships 
in  their  respective 
for  advanced  study 
fields. 

Thomas  Poffenberger,  Detroit,  major 
ing  in  sociology  and  anthropology,  was 
given  a  fellowship  of  $2,500  for  a  year's 
study  at  the  Merrill  Palmer  School  in 
Detroit.  His 
field  will  be 
specific 
marriage  and  the  family. 

Herman  Silva,  graduate  assistant  in 
biological  sciences  from  Knoxville,  Tenn., 
was  awarded  a  fellowship  by  the  U.  S. 
Atomic  Energy  Commission  for  a  study 
of  fresh  water  algea  of  the  Tennessee 
River  watershed.  His  grant  provides 
$2,000  for  a  year's  study  in  the  field. 

Research  Grants 

Michigan  State  College  received  more 
than  $65,000  in  gifts  and  grants,  most  of 
which  were  earmarked  for  specific  re 
search  projects  and  scholarships,  at  the 
April  meeting  of 
the  State  Board  of 
Agriculture,  governing  body  of  the  col 
lege. 

The  largest  research  grant  came  from 
the  United  States  Public  Health  Service 
for  $8,250  to  construct  a  housing  unit 
for  experimental  fowl  used  in  lymphoma 
tosis  investigations.  The  research  project, 
now  underway,  is  being  carried  out  co 
operatively  by  the  college  bacteriology 
department  and  the  East  Lansing  U.S. 
D.A.  Regional  Poultry  Laboratory.  Spe 
cifically,  the  scientists  are  endeavoring  to 
learn  whether

castle  disease  vaccine  made  from  eggs 
produced  by  birds  having  lymphomatosis. 
The  National  Cancer  Institute  is  inter 
ested  in  this  project  because  of  possible 
findings  relating  to  cancer  research. 

lymphomatosis,  a 

The  National  Dairy  Council  of  Chicago 
provided  a  grant  of  $8,050  for  continu 
ation  of  a  study  on  the  relationship  of 
soil  fertility 
to  the  nutritive  value  of 
crops. 
Included  among  the  other  grants 
were  $4,000  from  the  Michigan  Milk  Pro 
ducers'  Association  to  study  dairy  pro 
duction  costs  and  efficiency;  $3,000  from 
the  Beech-Nut  Packing  Company 
for 
continuation  of  a  project  on  the  require

a  $2,500  grant  from 
the  Standard  Oil 
Company  of  Indiana  for  evaluation  of 
Stanofide  as  a  peach  spray. 

National  PR Honors 

Michigan  State  won  a  national 

first 
prize  at 
the  recent  American  College 
Public  Relations  Association  convention 
for  the  promotion  job  it  did  in  connection 
with  the  college's  entry  into  the  Western 
Conference. 

The  award  cited  materials  put  out  by 
Fred  Stabley,  sports  editor,  and  Alvie 
Smith,  news  editor  of  the  Department  of 
Public  Relations 
under  W\  Lowell 
Treaster.  The  association  cited  particu 
the 
larly  the  picture  on  the  cover  of 
January  issue  of  THE  RECORD,  which 
was  a  montage  of  the  State  News  "extra" 
and  the  student  rally  of  more  than  6,000 
students  that  assembled  on  campus  after 
State's  acceptance  was  announced. 

This  year's  award  was  the  third  prize 
Michigan  State  has  won  from  the  associ 
ation  in  the  past  four  years.  More  than 
700 colleges  and  universities  were  entered 
in  the  competition. 

THE  A F F A I RS  OF  S T A TE 

A  Five-Day  Week 

Michigan  State  students  got  something 
to  cheer  about  in  late  April  when  the 
faculty  voted  to  return  to  the  pre-war 
five-day  college  week. 

The  new regulation,  expected  to go  into 
effect  for  the fall  term  of  1949, will  elimi 
nate  Saturday  morning  classes  except  in 
cases  of  limited  laboratory  facilities  or

College 
classes.  For  many  students,  who  have 
employed  countless  devices  to  omit  Sat

Thirty-five  Indian  students  attending 
Michigan  State  recently  presented 
the 
college  with  $250  as  the  financial  nucleus 
for  creating  a  Gandhi  Memorial  Library. 
Sundarum  Krishnamurthi  of  Madras, 
India,  took  the  lead  in  securing  the  fund 
as  president  of 
Indian  Students 
the 
Association  and  the  MSC  International 
Club.  Purpose  of  the  library,  according 
to  Krishnamurthi,  is  to  "further  a  cul 
tural  understanding  between  the  United 
States  and  India,  as  well  as  an  under 
standing  of  the  teachings  and  personality 
of  Mahatma  Gandhi,  world  leader  and 
man  of  peace." 

The  $250  donation  will  serve  as  a 
nucleus  for  the  project  and  the  India 
Student  Association  plans  to  add  to  it 
through  contributions  of  new

Flying  Classroom 
To  Take  Off July 5 

rr 

The 

sixth 

"Flying  Classroom"  of 
Michigan  State  College, with  an  itinerary 
of  10,000  miles  and  a  three-day  study 
in  Mexico  City,  will  be  held  this  summer 
from  July  4-31. 

Between  60  and  100  school  adminis 
trators  from  all  over 
the  nation  are 
expected  to  take  part,  according  to  Prof. 
Carl  M. Horn,  head  of  continuing  educa 
tion  at  Michigan  State,  who  has  per 
sonally  directed  the  previous  flying  field 
studies. 

"This  is  the  first  international  study 
of  its  type  ever  attempted,"  Prof.  Horn 
said.  "Although 
some  one-city  visits 
have  been  planned  both  for  the  United 
States  and  foreign  countries,  this  is  the 
first  'Flying  Classroom'  of  such  scope  on 
an  international  basis." 

Study  in  Dozen  U.  S.  Cities 
The  key  educators  will  fly  in  chartered 
planes  to  approximately  a  dozen  major 
American  cities,  including  Chicago,  De 
troit,  New  York,  Washington,  D.  C, 
Dallas,  Los  Angeles,  San  Francisco,  and 
Seattle,  Wash.  Fields  of  study  for  all 
members  will  be: planning  and  construct 
ing  school  buildings;  industry,  business, 
labor  and  education  cooperation;  eco 
nomics  of  American  democracy;  and 
military  training. 

The  "Flying  Classroom"  is  sponsored 
by  the  American  Association  of  School 
Administrators  and  the  Continuing  Edu 
cation  Service  of  MSC.  All  expenses  of 
participating  members  are  paid  by  local 
boards  of  education,  Prof.  Horn  pointed 
out. 

In  Mexico  City,  where  the  group  will 
study  July  19-22,  the  educators  will  visit 
public  schools  and  confer  with 
leading 
Mexican  educators.  They  will  study  the 
cultural  contrasts  caused  by  the  varied 
educational  and  economic  standards. 

Ralph Hendricksen to Conduct 
Leelanau  Summer  Art School 
Ralph  Hendricksen,  nationally  prom 
inent  artist  and  member  of  the  Michigan 
State  art  faculty,  will  again  conduct  the 
college's  Leelanau  Summer  Art  School, 
to  be  held  June  18  to  July  26. 

A  graduate  of  the  Art  Institute  of 
Chicago,  Hendricksen  has  won  numerous 
prize  awards  in  exhibitions  during  the 
past  15  years. 

Between  25  and  30  art  students  are 
expected  to  attend  the  school  at  the  pic 
turesque  fishing  center  of  Leland.  Stu 
dents  are  offered  six  weeks  of  study 
toward  undergraduate  credit,  according 
to  Howard  Church,  head  of  the  MSC art 
department.

This  question  is  asked  many  times  on 
the  Michigan  State  campus  when  former

Roberts  is rated  as  one of  the  brightest

poise,  ability,  and  the  will  to  win—and 
can't  fail  in  his  quest  for  baseball  glory.

Roberts  was  signed  by  the  Phillies 
after  receiving  a  $25,000  bonus.  He  gave 
up  one  year  of  college  eligibility  to  join 
Inter-State 
Wilmington,  Del.,

Sawyer  of  the  Phillies  announced 
that 
"Robbie" would  be on the  starting  mound 
every  fourth  day,  against  all  opponents, 
while  he  intended  to  "pick  spots"  for  the 
rest  of  his  hurling  staff.  Such  a  state

annual  Green  and  White  football  game

string  line,  which  was  impregnable;  or 
the  work  of  any  of  the  other  veterans 
which  particularly  impressed  them.  Their 
jobs  were  more  or  less  taken  for  granted.

head  football  coach  at  Wayne  University,

Zarza,  who  most  recently  has  been 
backfield  coach  with  the  Detroit  Lions 
pro  football  team,  reportedly  will  be  the 
highest  paid  coach 
the  history  of 
Wayne  University  football.

Sam  Ketchman,  another  well-known 
Michigan  State  athlete  of 
the  mid-
thirties,  will  be  Zarza's  assistant.  Ketch 
man  has  been  head  football  coach  at 
East  Lansing  High  School  for  several 
years,  producing  outstanding  schoolboy 
teams. 

The  game  was  preceded  by  a  football 
clinic  which  attracted  nearly  400  high 
school  coaches  from  all  over  the  state. 
Munn,  his  assistants,  and  a  number  of 
guests  from  high  school  coaching  ranks 
made  addresses  and  gave  demonstrations.

of  the  Spartans  and  appear  on  next  Fall's

On  Alumni  Day,  the  ranks  of  the  Patriarchs  will  open  to  make

of  a  rescued  scrapbook,  which  appeared  in  the 
last  "Days  of  Yore":
