S. Leonard New MSC Philosophy Head Dr. Henry S. Leonard, formerly chair man of the Department of Philosophy at Duke University, is the new head of the Michigan State College Department of Philosophy. The appointment, which became effec tive Sept. 1, was approved by the State Board of Agriculture at a special meet ing Aug. 16. Leonard Replaces DeHaan Dr. Leonard replaced Prof. John M. DeHaan, who requested to be relieved of administrative duties in order to devote full time to teaching and research. Prof. DeHaan has been a member of the MSC faculty since 1925 and was named head of the department of philosophy and psychology in 1933. With the separation of these fields into two departments last year, Prof. DeHaan continued to head the philosophy curriculum. Dr. Leonard, born in Newton, Mass., in 1905, received his A.B., M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Harvard. He served as in structor at Harvard and the University of Rochester during 1930-37, and as as sistant and associate professor at Duke University in Durham, N. C, since 1937. Dr. Leonard has been director of under graduate studies in the Duke philosophy department since 1942 and in March, 1949, was named chairman of the depart ment. Dr. Wolterink, whose department is working with funds from the A.E.C., said that the government is primarily in terested in the "pure science" aspect of the project and the number of trained that may be developed for personnel future work with atomic energy. Will Aid Farm Production that experi Dr. Wolterink declared far-reaching ments might easily have benefits for agriculture. "It is hoped that by the study of the relationship of these radio-active materials to vitamin requirements and hormone balance we might increase production of milk, meat and eggs," he said. College officials found they had a prob lem on their hands in finding a suitable place for disposal of dangerous radio active waste products. A special atomic waste burial ground was finally set aside for this purpose near Farm Lane. A laboratory in the Animal Pathology research building constructed with funds from the State Legislature, will be de voted exclusively to research with atomic products. While most of the college work is still in the formative state, three departments —physiology, soils science and agricul tural chemistry—are well along in proj ects dealing with radio-active materials. Brandstatter Gets Spec ial Assignment With Military Covernm Arthur F. Brandstatter, chief of cam pus police and head of the Department of Police Administration at Michigan State College, has been selected by the D e p a r t m e nt of the Army for a s p e c i al 9 0 - d ay a s s i g n m e nt as "visiting expert" with the U. S. military govern ment in Germany. Brandstatter is scheduled to re port to Washing t o n, D. C, f or in orders early Brandstatter ent in Germany November. In Germany, he will serve as visiting expert on a police administration and techniques project with the Civil Administration Division of the Office of Military Government. He will be granted a leave of absence from his college duties for his overseas service. The MSC professor is one of eight police administrators in the nation picked for this special assignment. Brandstatter said that the program is designed pri marily to indoctrinate German officials with the operation of police systems in a democracy; and also to provide Ameri can police administrators with an under standing of German police methods and problems. By J IM M C C A R T N E Y, '49 A group, of Michigan State College scientists have a new and important project on their hands. They have been assigned to delve into the mysteries of human and animal bodies through the use of radio-active materials. Grants for two separate atomic proj ects were awarded the college by the Atomic Energy Commission and the American Cancer Society, Inc., in July. These grants, totaling $25,000, gave added impetus to other research with atomic materials already underway at MSC financed by the college. Seek New Approaches to Ills Researchers hope to find new ap proaches to curing glandular disorders in human beings and farm animals and nutritional deficiencies and diseases of agricultural crops. They say that use of radio-active them to trace the history of many body and plant functions that have previously been only theoretical. isotopes enables Dean Ralph C. Huston of the School of Graduate Studies has been one of the principal figures in working out the re search programs and Dr. Clifford Hardin, head of the Agricultural Experiment Station, is in charge of the research projects. These two are working closely with a seven-man Radio-Active Isotope Committee chairmaned by Dr. Thomas the Division of Osgood, director of Mathematics and Physical Sciences. Two Grants Total $25,000 Largest grant, an annual appropriation of $18,899, came from the Atomic Energy Commission to be used by the Depart ment of Physiology and Pharmacology, under Dr. L. F. Wolterink. A possible tie-in with experimental treatment of atom bomb victims is implied by the project. Scientists will study the use of radio-active materials in rats to attempt to determine duration of calcium, man ganese and cobalt in the body. The second isotope project will be financed by a $6,000 grant from the American Cancer Society, Inc. The MSC botany department, headed by Dr. W. B. Drew, will conduct the experiments. Ob ject is to develop a radio-active virus. It is hoped that findings will contribute to more accurate and rapid diagnosis of diseases relating to cancer. Vol. 54, No. 6 R E C O RD T HE A L V IE L.

Entered as second class matter at East Lansing, Michigan, under the Act of Congress, August 24, 1912. September, 1949 More Than 8 , 0 00 Alumni Expected Oct. 22 for Homecoming Festivities "Biggest in Michigan State history" is the prediction of Alumni Director Tom King for the Homecoming week-end to be held on the Spartan campus Oct. 21-22. King estimated that more than 8,000 graduates and former students would be on hand for the celebrations, to be cli maxed by the Michigan State-Penn State football game. Last year, approximately 5,000 alumni returned for the Homecom ing festivities. Capacity Crowd to See Game The Penn State-MSC clash, fourth home game in a row for the Spartans, will get underway at 2 p. m. Saturday afternoon in Macklin Field stadium. A capacity crowd of over 50,000 is expected for the "play-off" of last year's 14-14 tie at State College, Pa. Alumni registration will begin Friday at 2 p. m. in the Alumni Office, located on the second floor of the revised Student Union building. The traditional Home coming pep rally will get under way at 7 p. m. in front of the Union building. Stag Smoker Friday Night Top event of the Homecoming-eve will be the annual stag smoker in the Hotel Olds from 9 to 12 p. m., sponsored by the MSC Central Michigan Alumni Club. The eighth annual Dairy Alumni Breakfast will start at 8:30 Saturday morning in the Forestry Cabin. Homecoming festivities will conclude with the annual Homecoming Ball, which will be held in the College Auditorium from 9 to 12 p. m. Saturday night. High light of the ball will be coronation of the Homecoming Queen, selection of which is sponsored by the Spartan Magazine and Kappa Alpha Mu, national honorary photo-journalism fraternity. Tickets Still Available Alumni wishing tickets to the dance or the football game should make reser vations in advance, according to King. For the Homecoming Ball, tickets will be $2.50 per couple, and should be ordered through the Alumni Office in the Union Building. A limited number of football tickets at $3.60 apiece are still available from the MSC Athletic Ticket Office, Jenison Fieldhouse.

Kwartler, an outstanding bladesman at Michigan State, won five of seven bouts in the championships. Journalism Department Gets National Recognition that Students returning for fall classes will find "something new has been added" to the Michigan State Depart ment of Journalism. In August, Prof. A. A. Applegate, journalism head, was notified that his department had received full accredita t i on t he f r om American Council on Education for Journalism. MSC made application for the first time this year. The Council is composed of rep r e s e n t a t i v es of t he A m e r i c an Newspaper Pub lishers Associa- tion, the American Society of News paper Editors, the Inland Daily Press Association, the Southern Newspaper Association, and the National Editorial Association. p " The ACEJ, which made its first accre ditations last year, is the only organiza tion of its type in the nation, according to Prof. Applegate. Michigan State thus becomes one of 38 major colleges and universities en dorsed by the ACEJ for journalism offer ings. Final approval came after a five- man committee, headed by Prof. Earl English of the University of Missouri, inspected in April. facilities on the campus In 21 categories evaluated by the Coun cil, MSC's journalism department ranked "high" and "medium high" in 14; "med ium" in 3; "medium low" in three; and received but a single "low" rating. Oklahoma' Will Open Lecture-Concert Series Though the grind may sometimes seem tough, Michigan State students will have ample opportunity to take a few hours out and enjoy an impressive schedule of concerts, lectures and stage produc tions during the 1949-50 college year. In the lead-off spot will be "Oklahoma," complete with surrey, fringe, and still topping the list of America's favorite musical comedies. This special feature will be presented Sept. 26-27. Complete List Announced Dean of Students Stanley E. Crowe has also announced the complete schedule of events for lecture-concert the MSC series. Highlighting the series will be the Boston and Cleveland symphony orches tras, Oct. 24 and Nov. 7; Margaret Web ster's Shakespeare Company, Dec. 5-6; Sadler's Wells English Ballet troupe, Nov. 21-22; Jascha Heifetz, violinist, March 6; and the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, Oct. 11-12. Also scheduled: Vladimir Horowitz, pianist, March 9; Nelson Eddy, baritone, Oct. 26; Dame Myra Hess, pianist, Feb. 28; and the Charles Wagner Opera Com pany, Oct. 5-6. Five lecturers who will speak during the year include Adolf Menjou, Nov. 8; William Laurence, Jan. 12; Countess Tol stoy, Feb. 8; John Mason Brown, Oct. 18; and Marc Connelly, Jan. 23. MSC Gives Record Total Of Teaching Certificates A record total of 682 teaching certifi cates were awarded by Michigan State College for the 1948-49 year, according to Robert S. Linton, registrar. The number, 274 more than last year's 408 certificates awarded, the largest total ever issued in the history of the college. In addition, 269 two-year certificates were also given. indicates Enrollment of 20,005 Recorded in 1948-49 A grand total of 20,005 persons were enrolled in campus classes and extension courses offered by Michigan State Col lege during the 1948-49 fiscal year, ac cording to the annual report of Robert S. Linton, registrar. Included in this total are 18,635 regu lar students, 792 additional persons who took short courses, and 578 enrolled in the college's extension courses through out the state. This exceeds by more than 1,000 last year's 18,843 total. High point in enrollment was reached in the fall quarter, when a total of 16,010 regular and short course students regis tered. This was enough to give MSC rating as 12th largest among the nation's universities in full-time enrollment. Represented in regular campus enroll ment were 15,118 students from every Michigan county but Keweenaw; 3,167 from 47 other states and five possessions; and 350 foreign students. S E P T E M B E R, 1 9 49 . . .. 3 THE A F F A I RS OF S T A TE STUDENT AFFAIRS Beginning of September the Spartan campus in a long overdue "vaca tion" period—except for ambitious foot ballers preparing tough 1949 for gridiron schedule, first under the banner of the Western Conference. found the More than 3,000 4-H youths, gathering for the annual State 4-H Club Show, combined with regular students to end the summer school with a rush of ac tivity. More than 5,000 entries were presented the "rural youths' state fair," held on campus from Aug. 30 to Sept. 2. in September 3 saw awarding of 667 de grees to students who completed require ments during the summer. This figure, including 547 bachelors' and 130 advanced degrees, was an increase of more than 200 over last year's summer graduates. A total of 5,231 students, second highest in the the college's history, attended summer classes. Two Michigan State co-eds were select ed by nationally-known Chicago Tribune photographer Andrew Pavlin as among his five most photogenic discoveries of the year. Selected were Barbara Tanner, Detroit, who graduated in June; and from Hart. Ruth Hawley, sophomore (RECORD cover, Nov. 1948.) The co-eds were featured Sunday, Aug. 14, in Pav- lin's picture story of "Five Co-eds and a Dream Girl." Two engineering students have won prizes in the national James F. Lincoln Arc Welding Foundation competition. They are Stuart H. Bogue, Port Huron civil engineering student, who received $100; and Wayne H. Mueller, mechanical engineer from Henderson, who won $25. Enrollment Michigan State College, entering its 95th year, prepared for another banner year of records, achievements and the usual headaches. Registrar Robert S. Linton estimates that fall enrollment will "at least equal" the record-high of 16,010 reached last year. There are others who believe that the college population will run well over this figure, in spite of predicted decreases at many other large universities of the nation. Linton gave as a big reason for a con tinued high enrollment MSC's rapid growth and added prominence gained through entry into the Western Confer ence earlier this year. He added that decrease in veteran en- 4 . . . . TH E R E C O RD CAMPUS BEAUTY RUTH HAW LEY: Tribune's Pavlin agreed. rollment has not thus far altered MSC's enrollment. Linton also had good news for Spartan co-eds when he predicted that the men-women ratio will remain about the same next year at three-to-one. "Economy Diet" Michigan State College tightened its financial belt and went on an "economy diet" in July after the State Board of Agriculture approved its 1949-50 budget of $11,854,241. in Involved this action, which was based on the appropi-ation granted by the Michigan Legislature, was the elimina tion of items totaling $987,238 from the college's operating plans for the next year. Michigan's lawmakers, as in the pre vious year, beat the final deadline and passed budgets for the state's educational institutions at the one-day adjournment session June 23. Faced with the possi bility of a deficit ranging from $20,000,- 000 to $60,000,000, the Michigan legis lators sliced operating budgets and vir tually eliminated building requests of all colleges of the state. Tentative budget on which the MSC appropriation request was made to the State Legislature had called for ex penditure of a considerably larger sum on the education of the 16,000 students expected to enroll for the 1949-50 school the year. That budget had anticipated appropriation of $8,500,492 for general operations. The Legislature, however, made available only $7,513,254 for the college's operation, exclusive of the Agri cultural Experiment Station, Extension Service and Hope-Flanagan research pro gram. improvise "Since the Legislature did not see fit to appropriate the funds for what we considered essential activities and im provements, we have had to cut back there, and go on an here, economic diet generally," MSC President John A. Hannah explained to the board. "The net effect of all these economies has been to make available funds with which to make certain adjustments which we essential," President Hannah said. Included in ad justments were the scheduling of a sec ond six-week summer session, and salary adjustments for certain key members of the faculty. considered absolutely President Hannah assured the board that these adjustments would not result in loss of curriculum content or impair ment of instruction. Necessary curtailments included: elim ination of 62 teaching positions; increas ing of certain recitation sections to a minimum of 50 students each; revision of course offerings the schools; requiring students to pay their own expenses on all field trips; and a drastic reduction of travel by staff mem bers on official college business. in several of The college had urgently Also eliminated was the college's hope for beginning construction this year on a proposed building for the School of Veterinary Medicine to relieve the criti cal shortage of laboratory and classroom space. The Michigan Legislature granted a token appropriation of $90,600 with which to prepare plans for the building. requested the construction, wrhich $2,265,000 for would put the veterinary school back in the American the "good graces" of Veterinary Medical Association. The AVMA last year tendered a highly criti cal report of physical facilities available for the veterinary training at Michigan State, and indicated possible withdrawal of its recognition unless adequate facili ties were provided soon.

Schuler, associate profes sor of sociology and anthropology, ac cepted a position as head of the Depart ment of Sociology and Anthropology at Wayne University. Holder of a Ph.D. from Harvard University, Dr. Schuler had been at MSC since 1946 and was instrumental in the establishment of the MSC Social Research Service in 1947. Author of more than 30 journal articles in his field, he served in numerous capa cities with the U. S. Government between 1936 and 1946, including a post as senior social scientist with the USDA Bureau of Agricultural Economics in Washing ton, D. C., 1943-46. Dr. George Angell, who came to MSC in 1947 as associate professor of educa tion and research consultant in the Basic College, is the new Dean of the Faculty at the New York Teachers College at New Platz. Holder of a B.S. degree from Ohio State and M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Syracuse University, Dr. Angell is author of numerous articles appearing in educational journals of the nation. Earl C.

For those who believe "Of Horses and Shoes" the "village smithy" stands no more, a reassuring ring of the anvil will re-echo louder than the campus of Michigan ever across State this fall. this revival of Ralph W. Tenny, director of short courses, attributes the ancient trade to a growing demand for farriers. Result has been a trained tripling of the number of horseshoeing short courses, one each quarter, offered by the college. The cry for additional trained horse- shoers has come from operators of riding establishments and commercial concerns as well as race track supervisors and farmers, Tenny said. Waiting list for the course, formerly offered only one term, grew so large that officials began looking for a way to in crease facilities. The Horse Association of America supplied the answer by offering $3,500 instructor a year to hire an additional and to help buy more supplies for the course. Each of three courses offered this year will be limited to 12 students. Michigan State is the first and believed to be one of two colleges in the nation currently offering such a course. It's popularity and uniqueness came to the fore in February when "Life" magazine ran p. picture story on MSC's future far riers.

Y. Mrs. Erb, who died in 1946, was a former resident of Waterford,, Michigan. This was among $153,502.80 in gifts and grants accepted for the college by the State Board of Agriculture at July and August meetings. Mrs. Erb's will specified that the money is to be used for establishing scholarships honoring her parents, Nelson R. and of former Anna Ganong, Waterford. One boy and one girl from Oakland county are to be selected each year for the scholarships on basis of character and leadership, together with literary and scholastic or artistic ability and attainments. residents Two grants totaling $25,000 (see story on page 2) were received in July from the Atomic Energy Commission and the American Cancer Society, Inc., for re search with radio-active isotopes. The U. S. Public Health Service gave $8,800 to be used by the Department of the U. S. Regional Bacteriology and Poultry Research Laboratory. Project will be to find a test for lymphomatosis, a poultry disease, which has relationship to cancer. Funds totaling $1,400 were received to finance a study which has been launched to determine religious needs and atti tudes of the residents of East Lansing. People's Church of East Lansing is financing the project, to be conducted by the Department of Sociology and Anthro pology, under Dr. Orden Smucker. It is expected to be completed within a year. Naval Research Activation of a naval research unit at Michigan State College has been an nounced, with Elbert S. Churchill, MSC bacteriologist, named as unit commander. Findings, in turn, will be made avail able to the Office of Naval Research and throughout the numerous sister units the United States. Under direction of the Federal Office of Naval Research, members of the unit hope to utilize their experience and train ing in promotion of experimentation and research materials. Similar to groups already in existance at Midland and Ann Arbor, the unit is composed entirely of MSC scientists who are former naval officers.

Among courses both new and tradi tional that gained added momentum and popularity were three-week work the shops in State and Local Government and Economic Education. The Workshop in State and Local Gov ernment, July 5-22, brought educators from all over Michigan in contact with talk top state government officials over government problems on the local, county and state levels. to Workshop Draws Praise Workshop members found themselves into the political hotbed when thrown City Manager Clarence H. Elliott, of Jackson and D. Hale Brake, state treas urer, disagreed violently as to the effec tiveness of county government in Michi gan. Said Elliott, "County government in Michigan is lousy." Brake objected in strong terms. Reported Willard Baird, chief of the Lansing bureau of Michigan's Federated Publications, "Whether county govern ment in Michigan is or isn't 'lousy' wasn't decided by the workshop, but the dispute highlighted the workshop's unique and effective purpose in bringing controver sial questions of politics and government before Michigan residents." Recording of MSC Songs By Glee Club Available A recording of Michigan State College songs, made by the 70-voice MSC Men's Glee Club in April, is now on sale, ac cording to John McGoff, president of the glee club. The record contains four songs, "MSC Shadows" and "Fight Song" on one side and "MSC Spartans" and "Stout-Heart ed Men" on the other. This is believed to be one of the few recordings now available of Michigan State's new Alma Mater—"MSC Shadows." The records will sell for 75 cents, and the proceeds will be used to finance a tour of the MSC Men's Glee Club to alumni clubs all over the nation, McGoff said. Special rates will be arranged for alumni clubs wishing to purchase records as a group, according to McGoff. In terested persons should write to Prof. David Machtel; Director, MSC Men's Glee Club; Department of Music, MSC, 6 . . .. T HE R E C O RD "Disagreements were inevitable and numerous," he said, "but these differ ences among the experts, reported by nearly every daily newspaper the state, placed before Michigan readers the difficulties involved in achieving a system of government which will meet conflict ing needs." in The Economic Workshop, which ended Aug. 19, was brand new to the campus and attracted 75 educators, economists and members of business and labor or ganizations from all over the nation. Educational Council Proposed Here members listened to top execu tives in business, labor and government fields discuss some of the critical and complicated problems of the nation's economy. Here also they studied closely with these men to try to work out better high school curricula and community adult education projects. Out of the workshop came a plan whereby a Michigan Council for Educa tion would be formed to act as a clearing house of information and aid to teachers and communities in setting-up local pro grams. Oldest Campus Building Undergoes Face-Lifting West wing expansion and extensive remodeling of the campus home of MSC President John A. Hannah is scheduled for completion in the near future. The historic landmark, only original building remaining on the campus, was constructed in 1857. It has served as residence for a number of distinguished faculty members, as a women's residence hall, and was the home of the late Frank Murphy, former governor of Michigan. Cost of the remodeling is to be de frayed from funds set aside in 1941 from the estate of Frederick Cowles Jenison, benefactor of the college. Although care has been taken to pre serve the facade of the historic structure, plans call for replacement of certain frame portions of the building by fire proof brick construction, some interior alterations, and construction of the new west wing. Because of constant changes during 92 years of its occupation, the structure is poorly arranged, and the State Board of Agriculture acted in June to have the home made over to better serve the many needs of Michigan State College. Erection of Continuing Education Center Begins Construction has begun on the new Michigan State College Continuing Edu cation Center, financed largely by a grant of $1,400,000 from the Kellogg Founda tion of Battle Creek. Will Be Completed in Year The seven-story structure, which will be one of the finest conference buildings in the nation, is expected to be completed within a year. Located at the western edge of the campus, the building will headquarter the Continuing Education Service of the college. It will also serve as a labora tory for training of hotel administration students and house the Department of additional Hotel Administration. An $95,000 has been contributed by the hotel industry of furnishing the nation for guest sections of the center. Other Buildings Completed The building will contain 21 conference rooms, auditorium, ballroom, small din ing room and 193 guest rooms, intended exclusively for persons attending con ferences and special guests of the college. The past summer also saw the com pletion of a number of other cam pus structures under MSC's post-war $31,000,000 building program, almost $19,000,000 of which is self-liquidating with no expense to the public. The new Natural Science building, one of the largest and finest of its kind in the nation, and its neighbor, the Physics and Mathematics building (See Cover) have added nearly 25 per cent in class room, office and laboratory space of the campus. The Natural Science building is now center for the departments of geology and geography, botany, physical science, biological science, and entomology and zoology with laboratory space for each. At capacity it can accommodate approxi mately 3,000 students and Physics and Mathematics building will serve at least 1,250 students. New Student Union Completed Michigan State students, for the first time this fall, will have full access to the enlarged and totally remodeled Stu dent Union. Included are bowling alleys, ping pong rooms, reading, music and browsing rooms. All construction on the Union was done on a self-liquidating basis, without public expense. The housing problem has been solved for 500 men students returning to school this fall. Students will be housed in the west wing of Robert S. Shaw Hall. The dormitory is expected to be completed next summer. ;.¥#V, ••*k ' i f't # * km • • • '• : ' &% j m f £ I-/ < * ' ^ : ' - ^.

Since August 31, Coach "Biggie" Munn and his assistants have had a squad of 70 grid hopefuls, including 30 lettermen, hard at work in preparation for a rugged nine-game schedule which begins with Michigan Sept. 24 at Ann Arbor. Team Has Rugged Schedule Munn's charges hope to emulate last year's 6-2-2 record and national ranking as 14th squad in the nation. The Spar teams con tans also are one of four ceded a chance of breaking Michigan's string of 23 consecutive victories. Fol lowing the Michigan game, the Spartans will play six home games on consecutive Saturdays against Marquette, Maryland, William and Mary. Penn State, Temple and Notre Dame. The last two games will be away from home, against Oregon State Nov. 12 and Arizona Nov. 19. The first scrimmage was held within the first week of practice in line with Munn's opinion that "there is no better way to get a fast line on what has hap pened to the players over the summer layoff." that indicated Crane, Lumsden, Gilman Move Up Early practice "old familiars" will man the first team again this season. This will be true not only for the eight posts where veteran in cumbents are back, but also for the three positions where star first-stringers were lost through graduation. "Bud" Crane seems to have the edge for George Guerre's old left halfback spot and, of course, "Bud" is anything but a new hand. Big Dave Lumsden, reserve center for two seasons, finally has the shadow of Bob McCurry removed and should get first call on the pivot position. At is heir left end, "Red" Gilman apparent to Warren Huey and Ed Sob- czak. He already has won two varsity letters and has proven himself under fire. Veterans Fill Other Positions For the rest, old hands will be back at first string positions. Lynn Chandnois, right halfback; Gene Glick, quarterback; and Frank Waters, Jim Blenkhom and LeRoy Crane, fullbacks, have the back- field positions well in hand. Hank is due for a great season at Minarik right end. Pete Fusi and Capt. Hal Vogler are ready for front line tackle duty again, as are that great pair of guards, Don Mason and Ed Bagdon. 8 . . . . TH E R E C O RD DIRECT 1949 SPARTANS: Ready for the 1949 football season is this quintet of Michigan State coaches, on whose shoulders rest most of the responsibility for guiding the team through a tough nine-game schedule. They are, from left to right: Robert Flora, freshman coach; Hugh "Duffy" Daugherty, line coach: Clarence "Biggie" Munn, head coach; Forest Evashevski, backfield coach; and Earle Edwards, new end coach.

Hayden, '30, one of Michigan State's all-time sports greats, died Aug. 10 at the Pawating Hospital at Niles after an illness of approximately six months. Hayden, 42 years of age, was at the time of his death on leave as highway traffic engineer for the U. S. Army of Occupation in Germany. He had been in the military service since 1941, and was returned to the United States June 12 for medical treatment. Hayden served as agent for the Bureau of Roads in 1931; highway engineer, coach and teacher in Washington, D. C, 1932-36; assistant for the National Safety Council 1936-40; and as fleet engineer with the Horton Motor Co. of Charlotte, N. C, 1940-41. traffic engineer Was Nine-Letter Man at MSC While at MSC, he won nine major letters, including three each in sports track.

He was a physical education major at MSC. technical advisor Paredes to Invitation Under Consideration Athletic Director Ralph H. Young said he had placed the invitation before the Athletic Council for its consideration. Specifically mentioned in the letter were the basketball, baseball and swimming teams as possibilities for such a visit. these Paredes also spoke in terms of teams visiting other Latin-American countries on the same trip. interested the proposition, Mr. Young said the scheduling problems for such a tour would be very difficult. The only possibilities would be during Christmas or Easter recesses. While in The long and the short of the Michigan State football this fall will be sophomore Bob Carey, six-foot five-inch end, and John Yocca, five-foot nine-inch guard. team AteaA fyac&b fart, 194-9 SfMrttatt Jdin&ufi Bob Carey Klein Coleman Bill Carey Every up-and-coming college football team has sophomore its outstanding prospects around whom future elevens will be built, and the 1949 Michigan State Spartans are no exception. Pictured above are six of the most promising first year varsity men, all of whom are likely to be heard from before the current season is finished. Carey Twins Show Promise Bill and Bob Carey are twin brothers who earned their preliminary spurs by outstanding performances in the spring intra-squad game. Both are ends. Big, they rangy and crack pass receivers, present the arresting possibility that in another year or so string the Spartan fiankmen may be Carey and Carey. The Careys hail from Charlevoix, Mich. first Allan Jones, from Washington, D. C, is ?. fine quarterback candidate. He shows signs of developing into a good field general, passes well and can run with the best. Coleman, Klein Stand Out Don Coleman, of Flint, is rated one of the finest guard prospects to come along in years. He showed he had varsity potentialities in Spring training and then played a bang-up game in the climatic intra-squad contest. Joe Klein, of New Kensington, Pa., is another fine guard prospect who proved his mettle last spring. With players like Don Mason and Ed Bagdon ahead of them, neither Klein nor Coleman figures to crack into the first string line-up, but they should see lots of reserve action during the next season. Another Ciolek for Spartans Bob Ciolek is the latest of the Michi gan City, Ind., Ciolek clan to make his bid for athletic prominence at Michigan State. Older brothers Gene and Ed were Spartan athletic stars several years back. Well over six feet tall, strong and fast, Bob has everything it takes to become a great quarterback. He is a crack south paw passer and a good defensive player to boot, as he illustrated in the Spring game. Ciolek Jones Huey Named Assistant Freshman Grid Coach Warren Huey, stellar Spartan end from 1945 through 1948, has been ap pointed instructor in physical education and an assistant at Michigan State. football coach Huey, whose home is in Punxsutawney, Pa., assumed his position Sept. 1.

A year later he won A l l - A m e r i- h o n o r a b le can honors. mention As a junior he was presented the " G o v e r n or of Michigan" award given annually to the most valuable p l a y er on t he team.
