Became Chief Engineer in 1943 Before coming to Detroit Edison, Mr. Dean was sales engineer for the General Electric Co., Schenectady, N. Y., later becoming assistant manager in General Electric's Detroit office. He was em ployed by Detroit Edison in 1924 in the electrical engineering department, and three years later was senior electrical In 1930 he became chief engineer. assistant superintendent of electrical system, and 1943 was appointed chief engineer. He is survived by his wife, Frances E., and two daughters, Mrs. John E. Swisher, Jr., Ann Arbor, and Mrs. Warren B. Clark, of Palm Beach, Florida. The Class of 1949 not only was the largest in history—3,250—but it also in cluded the highest percentage of honor students ever. A total of 362, or 16 per cent, finished their college careers with honor or high honor averages. State Board of Agriculture M a k es Five Top Administrative Changes Dr. William H.

Memorial Center Drive Continuation of the Memorial Center project at Michigan State College was voted June 3 at a meeting of the 12- member national Alumni Advisory Coun cil. Original plans called for the erection of an international house and chapel on the Spartan campus as a memorial to Michigan State alumni killed in World War II. Drive Now Only Half Completed The Council authorized Chairman Lee '12, Lansing, to appoint a O. Benner, four-man committee investigate all possibilities toward completing the pro ject. to At present, the drive falls about 45 per cent short of the $300,000 goal set three years ago, Alumni Director Tom H. King disclosed. As deadline for com pletion of the project was originally set for June, the Council met to consider either extension of the drive or its dis continuance. Aim for 100% Participation "Although speculation had arisen as to what would be done with the $163,000 received thus far in pledges," King said, "I feel strongly, after enthusiasm shown at the Council meeting, that the project can now be successfully completed." "Our goal," said King, "is to secure 100 per cent participation from as many alumni groups as possible, regardless of the amount contributed. This would easily put us 'over the hump'." Honorary Degree Given Lorm G. Miller by LIT Dean Lorin G. Miller, head of the MSC School of Engineering was awarded an honorary Doctor of Engineering de gree during commencement ceremonies held June 14 at Lawrence Institute of Technology, Detroit. the Dean Miller was also the commence largest ment speaker, addressing graduating class in the history of the school on the subject, "Did You Make the Team?"

Full Summer Program Is Planned Despite Drastic Appropriation Cut Despite a drastic cut in appropriations by the Michigan Legislature, Michigan State College will offer a second six- week summer session from July 27 to Sept. 3.

It was pointed out that abandon ment of the session would mean a delay in college work for at least 1,600 vet erans of World War II, most of them with families, who are seeking to finish their education as quickly as possible. A total of 2,300 students are expected to the second six-week session enroll for on July 27, according to Robert S. Linton, college registrar. Budget Is Slashed $1,391,522 Michigan State College received an over-all cut of $1,391,522 below the figure originally asked by the State Board of Agriculture, and $400,810 below the ap propriation recommended by the State Budget Director. As passed by the Legislature, when it returned for final adjournment, the bill provided no appro priation for operation of the second six- week session. In order this to provide funds session, and a number of special courses and conferences to be held concurrently, Pres. Hannah said that the college would be forced to make a number of retrench ments in other college operations.

The spring term finale of Water Carni val, Alumni Day, and the college's larg est Commencement in history brought down the curtain on one of MSC's great est and most eventful years. It was a year crowded with unprece dented expansion of physical facilities, breaking of all previous enrollment records, and attainment of new athletic and educational stature among the great universities of the nation.

Atomic thal, chairman of Energy Commission, "The Spirit of Democracy." Lilienthal warned under estimating the power of the atomic bomb, but had critical words for "those be witched and jittery men" who "throw themselves into the protective arms of a mysterious bomb" as an only defense. "In truth," the atomic chief said, "the foundation of our strength and amazing things but vitality in material speak on against is not 4 . . . .

The tune of "MSC Shadows," in spiring and respectful, had been hummed by Spartans for 20 years. The words, however, seemed to come a little harder for student and faculty memories.

Co-ops and House 'Moms' Men's co-operative houses at Michigan State got a real compromise in June from the college administration on the ruling that every off-campus men's liv ing unit have a housemother installed by September, 1949.

MSC's First Big Ten Big Ten Bans Four Baseball Stars Competition Next Year For Summer Play in Vermont Loop By FRED STABLEY Four Michigan State baseball players were ruled ineligible for further college competition by Western Conference ac tion this spring, less than two weeks after the school was formally admitted to conference membership.

All were regulars. fell on Charles baseman; outfielder Banned for Vermont Play Coach John Kobs was notified that his players were banned because they had competed in the Northern League in Ver mont last summer, a loop outlawed by the Western Conference but not by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. "We had no idea the conference would take retroactive action against the boys," was Coach Kobs immediate comment. "We weren't in the Big Ten at the time and I think it unfair that the boys should be penalized." Newspaper comment also raised some questions about the merit of the West ern Conference decision. Michigan State s Athletic Council entered a protest against the ruling, but withdrew it a few weeks two non-seniors later after seemed headed for major league con tracts. the only Bagdon Signs With Detroit Bagdon was offered and signed a pro fessional contract with the Detroit Tigers and was sent to Lynn, Mass., of the New England league. Bowers also had been contacted by several major league teams and was expected to sign a contract in the near future. Urbanik and Sobczak both graduated from Michigan State in June. With four regulars gone, State dropped three games. two of the season's last Bowers was top pitcher, team's Sobczak was second in batting with a .347 mark, Bagdon had a .307 average, and Urbanik was batting .230. the All-American Swimmers Two Michigan State swimmers, free style sprint star Don Paton and breast- stroker Dave Seibold were awarded places on the 1949 Ail-American Col legiate Swimming team. Poloncak Stopped in Spring Game Michigan State, now a full-fledged member of the Western Conference, will not begin championship competition until the fall of 1950. Cross country track, which should be as strong in '50 at MSC as it was last fall, will be the first regular competition for the Spartans. Action, setting the start of the 1950-51 scholastic year as the time for State's baptismal, was Western Conference taken at the May meetings in Evanston, 111., when the school was formally cer tified to membership. There were those who felt the delay until the fall of 1950 was uncalled for, but Athletic Director Ralph H. Young summed up the official Spartan attitude when he said: "A few years hence a little thing like that will have been forgotten. The im portant thing is that we are in." Football competition, of course, will not begin until 1953 because of the long term scheduling done by the Conference last December. Michigan State will meet Michigan, Ohio State, Indiana, Purdue and Minnesota prior to that time, but the games will not count in conference standings. All other sports teams will begin com petition in the 1950-51 school year. MSC-Notre Dame Tilt Sells Out in Eight Days Michigan State had the earliest foot this ball game sell-outs in the country year. Tickets for the fall season went on sale June 1, and just eight days later ticket boss Lyman L. Frimodig closed out Notre Dame game business. Season tickets went almost as fast. By July 1, a month ahead of the pre viously announced deadline, all available season ducats, estimated at 10,000, were gone. This is the first time in history that a season ticket sale has closed ahead of schedule. Sale of other individual game tickets also were progressing well, and Frimodig advised alumni to "send in ticket ap plications as quickly as possible." In ordering should tickets, alumni follow this price pattern: Marquette (Oct. 11), William (Oct. 4), Maryland and Mary (Oct. 18) and Temple (Oct. 25), $2.50 each; and for the Homecoming game with Penn State Nov. 5, $3.60 per ticket.
