Mrs. Mabelle Ehlers to Retire Miss Hart will succeed Mrs. Mabelle Ehlers, who has served at MSC since 1929 and as head of the Department of In stitution Administration since 1935. A graduate of Kansas State, Mrs. Ehlers received her A.M. degree from the Uni versity of Chicago. Author of numerous articles and bulletins in the field, she is also secretary of the National Food Service Association. Headed Union Food Service Miss Hart received her B.S. degree from the University of Wisconsin, her M.S. from the University of Chicago, and has taken additional advanced work at Iowa State College and the University of California during the past year. She has been supervisor of the Michigan State College Union food service since 1941. Miss Hart is chairman of the department of institution administration of the American Home Economics Asso ciation at the present time. Mrs. Ehlers was granted a year's re tirement furlough starting Feb. 15, 1950 and official retirement was set for March 1, 1951. O'Rourke Has Long USDA Service O'Rourke came to MSC in 1945, after 23 years with the U. S. Department of Agriculture as plant propagator and soil conservationist.

At Michigan State, O'Rourke has been coordinator of nursery and landscape training courses and has done extensive work with the nursery industry of the state. Construction of a Memorial Chapel, honoring 341 alumni and students killed in World War II, will begin soon on the Michigan State College campus. Construction of the non-sectarian chapel will mark the first step toward erection of a $300,000 Memorial Center, objective of a fund drive launched in June 1947. Other part of the project will be the building of an International House, to provide accommodations for study, discussion and meetings of students from all over the world. Will Cost $170,000 As approved in December by the State Board of Agriculture, governing body of the college, plans call for expenditure of $160,000 to $170,000 for the Memorial Chapel. This approximates the contribu tions the Memorial Center fund drive from stu dents, faculty, alumni and friends of the college. thus far received through The Memorial Chapel will be approxi mately 40 by 70 feet, and will seat more than 200 people, according to Tom H. King, director of alumni relations. To be open at all times for use by students, faculty and visitors, it is expected that the chapel will be used extensively for weddings, memorial services and other Voice of America Uses Michigan State Story Radio beamed a little bit of Michigan State College into European countries in December on "Voice of America" broad casts as part of an informational swing around the nation. The program, produced by the Depart ment of State and broadcast in 20 lan guages, used interviews of Pres. John A. Hannah and Ernest L. Anthony, dean of the School of Agriculture. American methods of teaching agri culture were discussed in one broadcast and activities of the college extension service formed the basis for another Pres. Hannah told the story of Michi gan State's rise, particularly following WTorld War II, to one of the nation's largest colleges. sacred events. A memorial plaque, con taining the names of students and alumni who gave their lives in World War II, will be included in the building. Drive Will Continue An intensified program to complete the Memorial Center Fund project of $300,- 000 has been launched by the MSC Alumni Advisory Council, chairmaned by Lee O. Benner, '12, Lansing. "The aim is for 100 per cent participa tion," commented Benner, "regardless of how small the individual donation." It is hoped that the additional $130,000 will be subscribed during the next year and that construction of the International House can be started at that time, Ben ner said. Alumni who have not yet subscribed to the college's "living memorial" or who to supplement previous might desire donations, should address letters to the MSC Alumni Office in the Union building. Starr Keesler Joins Spartan Alumni Staff Starr H. Keesler, '41, housing director at Michigan State since 1946, was ap pointed assistant director of alumni relations in December. In his new position, Keesler joins with George Guerre and Howard Worthington, both 1948 gradu ates, in the MSC Alumni Office, di rected by Tom H. King. Included in his duties will be organization of and assistance to alumni clubs all over the nation. Keesler K e e s l e r, w ho served three years in the U. S.

Ad ministrators students about the Turkey Trot, campus queen celebrations and classroom antics of many varieties. chuckled with But drinking by students was another story. The college had become a target of letters from concerned parents object ing to tales of "beer busts" and other parties related by their homecoming stu dent sons and daughters. Pres. Hannah and other administrators invoked a more strict enforcement of a long-standing campus forbidding student drinking or carrying liquor onto the campus in any form. rule But students sometimes are hard to convince, and during the Fall tei*m, 12 students were apprehended by campus liquor violations. Two were police for suspended the others indefinitely and placed on strict disciplinary or social probation. Campus officials hoped that their warnings would be taken more seri ously in the future. Unmarried male students, looking for ward to the Notre Dame game, hit on the bright idea of falsifying their mari to obtain "spouse" football tal status ticket books, sold by the college at a reduced cost to married students. The ruse went unnoticed until the Notre Dame game, when officials ferreted out some 25 cases of fraud. Students had to return the books and pay stadium gate prices for the tickets—about $15.00. Diners in a student cafeteria had a problem when the entire stock of 15,000 pieces of silverware was stolen. Rumor had it that the culprits intended to spread it all over the University of Michigan campus at Ann Arbor. After three days of pea-eating on bor rowed knives, students had their utensils back. Dean Morgan, an Elmhurst, 111., senior, found it screwn over his back yard early one morning upon returning from a neighbor's house. The silver snatchers are still unidentified, but police are look ing for culprits with a keen sense of humor. Howard C. Benwitt of Mt. Vernon, N. Y., wanted all the world to love a lover—himself.

A total of 586 students finished up the Fall their college careers during quarter. Eighty-seven completed require ments for advanced degrees and 481 for bachelor's degrees. Included in this total were 449 from Michigan and 119 from other states and foreign countries. Special ceremonies honoring graduates and their spouses were held in the MSC Union Dec. 12, highlighted by the address the Rev. George R. Selway, D.D., of rector of the St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Lansing. Over 500 persons, including most of the deans and department heads, were on hand for the reception which followed Rev. Selway's talk. An additional 74 students completed agricultural training courses at Michigan State in December. Forestry practice students received certificates at the Dun bar Forest Station at Sault Ste. Marie and all others were honored in special ceremonies at the MSC Union, both held Dec. 9. Fraternities Greeks at Michigan State College added number 23 to their list of social fra ternities Jan. 6, when formal installation ceremonies were held for the Gamma Psi chapter of Beta Theta Phi.

Support and cooperation for the project will come from the Inter-American In stitute of Agricultural Sciences of the Pan-American Union, located in Costa Rica. Work began early in December by graduate students in Costa Rica, and later will move to Colombia, Peru and other South American countries. Michigan State also received another the noteworthy grant of $5,260 from National Heart Institute of the National Institute of Health in December. The money will be used for research on the relation of kidney and circulatory func tions, under the direction of Dr. William D. Collings, associate professor of physi ology and pharmacology. Faculty Affairs Current newsprint has carried the names of six Michigan State faculty members who have received noteworthy governmental appointments and literary notice. Among them is Walter Adams, assis tant economics professor, who recently presented his proposals for an anti-trust law to the House judiciary committee in Washington. Dr. Adams, warning of the growing concentration of economic power in the hands of a few concerns, request of drafted law at the the Emanuel Celler, chairman of the House judiciary committee.

Hannah to one of the nation's top universities. Dr. W. L. Mallmann, professor of bacteriology, was recently named vice- president of the Michigan Public Health Association. Dr. Judson T. Landis, whose book, "Building a Successful Marriage," has been adopted as standard text by more than 100 major colleges and universities, has just published a new book. Released in January by Prentice-Hall, Inc., the text is entitled "Personal high school Adjustment, Marriage and Family Liv ing." Col. Dorsey R. Rodney, dean-emeritus of the School of Business and Public Service, was named commander of the Michigan Military Order of Foreign Wars in December. Dean Rodney, who retired as dean last July, was also mili tary commandant and military liaison officer at MSC during his service in the regular U. S. Army. Act on Vandalism Student leaders took into their own hands the problem of vandalism on cam puses of Michigan State and the Univer sity of Michigan. Before football games, especially, students seem wont to splat ter paint over each others' campus. Headed by Student Council President Louis Hekhuis, the MSC delegation met with a similar group from U. of M. to end the raids. Hereafter, the student councils will discourage such antics and will deal with culprits through recom mendations to faculty leaders. On The Cover . . .

"Self-Study" Begins Michigan State College admits it's not its officials are perfect, but at willing to do something about it. least for continual Establishment of an educational re search program "self- analysis" of curricula, educational ob jectives and teaching methods of the college was revealed in December by Dean William H. Combs, administrative assistant to the president in charge of academic affairs. The program calls for organization of an "all-college" committee for educa tional research, headed by a full-time executive director, and which will co ordinate work done by committees at the school and departmental levels. Chief objective of the program will be constant evaluation of the college's curricula and instructional problems in order that a more effective educational job may be accomplished at the same or even less pay. The plan was drawn up by administra tive leaders at Michigan State, headed by Pres. John A. Hannah, Dean Combs, and in consultation with Dr. Floyd Reeves, educational consultant to Pres. Hannah since 1944. The problem, unani mously endorsed by the MSC faculty, is expected to get under way during the winter quarter, Dr. Combs said. Dr. Reeves, professor of administration the University of Chicago, had a at major role in that institution's reorgani zation under Pres. R. M. Hutchins in the 1930's. He also directed studies which led to the establishment of New York State University and the Basic College program at MSC in 1944, and has served on numerous eduactional boards and com missions for the federal government and United Nations. Mentioned as early projects for the group were: semester versus the quarter system; problems of too few or too many course offerings; more effective correla tion of Basic College and upperclass courses; and comparative teaching and service loads among various departments. Third DP Student Arrives Michigan State College's third dis placed person, Vernon Orro, of Pallin, Estonia, arrived on the campus in late December. Formerly a YMCA secretary in the French zone of Germany, Orro has been granted a scholarship by the campus Lutheran student organization. He will major in engineering.

T HE R E C O RD ^Ike MickUfan State Calle^e fall Call & & & ik What It Means to You and to Your College ALUMNI LEADERS of Michigan State College plan a campaign early the support of college activities not adequately financed within the budget, the MSC Alumni Advisory Council announced. in 1950 to rally former students to Plans call for a "Roll Call' of alumni each year, during which time thousands of former students will be invited to contribute to the advancement of Michigan State College. * • H1 THE COUNCIL has asked Pres. John A. Hannah for an annual outline of the more urgent needs of the college which would be within the reasonable ability of alumni to support. Tentative projects include purchase of vitally needed research equipment; expansion of research and extension services, not only in agriculture but also other vocational and professional fields; a comprehensive emergency student loan fund; and a program of scholarships. to The Council will consider requests for special funds finance specific projects in individual schools of the college, according to William L. Davidson, director of the Michigan State College Fund. * * * THIS WAS THE FIRST STEP toward a program approved by the Council in a meeting in the Michigan State College Union building here in October. "The annual Roll Call will state the most urgent needs of the college and invite gifts from alumni so that Michigan State may go forward as one of America's truly great col leges," said Lee 0. Benner, 12, president of the Council. "Colleges and universities are known by the strength and support of their alumni," he added. "We are fortunate that in America we can obtain college education at a fraction of its actual cost because of certain legislative support. The faith of alumni in the education they received at Michigan State College will in a great measure determine the future success of the institution." * * * DAVIDSON CITED the University of Wisconsin as an through example of a university making prominent gains alumni support. "They contribute large sums each year to college projects outside the operating and research budgets," he said. Ohio State has taken the lead among Western Conference schools in developing a militant alumni organization, David son said. The percentage of Ohio State's former students participating in an annual Roll Call is very high, he said. H* H1 * PRES. HANNAH recently pointed out that during the past 20 years, while enrollments in 20 states increased 154 per cent, state appropriations per student terms of 1948 dollars declined 14 per cent. in "In Michigan, the record is even more alarming, for here, appropriations per student by the Legislature have decreased 35 per cent," Pres. Hannah said. OTHER COLLEGE ALUMNI groups have already started the ball rolling to support their universities and colleges with organized contribution programs. For many colleges, large endowments fill the gap and make available sums of money for vitally needed research and expansion of services to meet the needs of the state and nation. in Michigan State scientists, engineers and researchers the humanities must await, in most cases, financial backing for specific projects before starting work in which outstand ing contributions to society have been made. * * * MICHIGAN STATE'S endowment fund is very small in comparison to a large majority of other institutions. It stands at $2,000,000, half of which is drawn from sales of land granted the college by the Morrill Act of 1862. "Accumulated interest of alumni takes on the spirit of an endowment," Davidson said, "and if it were possible to capitalize this endowment, it would be sufficient to meet almost any demand in the future growth of Michigan State." income from the Alumni relations services at Michigan State are financed solely in the annual budget structure, Davidson pointed out. There are no alumni dues, charges for services or the RECORD, which since 1931 has been mailed directly to each alumnus whose address is known, he said. =!: :|c =!: SUCCESSES of other college fund agencies are well docu mented. In 1947, the last year for which records are complete, 140 institutions had an active alumni fund, Davidson said. Nine institutions which recently set up an alumni fund and the amounts contributed during the first year of opera tion are as follows: Cincinnati Purdue Georgia Haverford Holy Cross Ohio University Indiana Dubuque Catholic University * * * $51,495 45,542 42,000 23,949 20,970 19,147 14,500 6,957 5,188 ORGANIZATION of the Michigan State Roll Call will proceed on a class basis, Davidson said. Class agents will be appointed by the schools in the various classes. Through closer class contact the council hoped to add the addresses of some 10,000 "lost" alumni to its files. "We shall be just as much concerned with extending an invitation to the short-course students as well as the former students who attended college for as little as only one term," Davidson said. With the wholesale graduation of veterans, an "unusual source" of income has dwindled sharply and has magnified the problems of finance in crucial areas, he said. "With financial problems arising on every side and with greater demands being placed on Michigan State College, the Fund is a vital need," he said.

A total of eight Spartans received mention on one or more Ail-American teams, but Ed Bagdon, Don Mason and Lynn Chandnois were classed as "All- American" in almost everybody's books. Previously, Michigan State had piled up numerous "honorable mentions," but only two men—Guard Sid Wagner, '34, and Halfback Johnny Pingel, '38, ranked first string status. This year, the Spartans received more Ail-American honors than in their entire previous history. Mason, Bagdon and Chandnois received 14 "first" team votes, and countless second team places. Bagdon Gets Most Votes led with selection Bagdon teams. They to seven "first" included LOOK magazine, United Press, Sporting News, Central Press, NEA Service, New York News and Tele-News. To top it off, he was declared winner of the Dr. John Out- land trophy, given annually by the Foot ball Writers Association of America to the best guard or tackle in the country.

TH E R E C O RD With 75- 0 (lout o/ A>UfO*ta Wildcat*. By FRED STABLEY The 1949 football season was unques tionably one of the greatest in the 54- year history of the sport at Michigan State. The team won six and lost three, and attracted a record 261,000 fans at home and away. The Spartans thriller, lost to Michigan in a 7-3 then defeated Marquette, Maryland, William and Mary, Penn State and Temple in succession. The great Notre Dame team, one of the most for midable grid aggregations of all time, won a 34-21 test that added lustre to the Green and White. Then came the Oregon State 25-20 upset, a heart- breaker that probably would not have occurred but for the gruelling Notre Dame game a week before. Arizona was drubbed 75-0 to end the season. Ail-American Lynn Chandnois reached the pinnacle of his four-year career at MSC during the season. The mainstay of the team, he averaged 6.6 yards on 129 tries, and caught seven passes for 127 yards. He also led in scoring with 60 points, and was a standout on defense. Up front, All-American guards Ed Bagdon and Don Mason were constant threats, with tackles Pete Fusi and Don Coleman lending valuable support. standouts Other backfield included Everett Grandelius and Gene Glick. Grandelius, filling the spot vacated by George Guerre, averaged 5.6 yards on 90 offensive thrusts. Glick, hampered by knee injuries, connected on 38 of 71 passes for 776 yards and six touchdowns. Big Bob Carey, sophomore end, snatch ed 26 aerials, gained a total of 523 yards and scored eight touchdowns. Harriers Win NCAA Title But Drop Other Crowns Michigan State's cross-country harriers didn't quite keep the pace established by 1948's triple crown team, but still pro duced enough to be rated the top harrier aggregation in the country. In 1948 the hill and dalers won the IC4A, NCAA and National AAU crowns for the first clean sweep of major cham pionships in the history of the sport. This season the team repeated at the NCAA champion, but had to be content with third place in the IC4A and second place in the National AAU run. The Spartans also defeated Purdue and Penn State in dual meets. Capt. Bill Mack, enjoying his greatest year with the cross-country team, paced his championship meets. His best effort was third place in the NCAA run at East Lansing. teammates the in Warren Druetzler, junior harrier who will captain the team next season, took firsts in both the dual meets. With Busy Winter Schedule Faces Spartan Athletes the addition of ice hockey, Spartan students, alumni and fans are in for the busiest six months of intercollegi ate sports in the history of the college. Most of the teams except hockey are stacked with veterans, stars who last year combined to g^ve Michigan State cna of the nation's best athletic records.

Promising Sophomores Hold Key To Basketball Fortunes of M SC The 1949-50 Michigan State basketball team, off to a rather dismal start under Coach Al Kircher, is taking on a "new look" which should speak well for the future of Spartan basketball. in talent Using mostly veteran the season's opener, the Spartans dropped a 52-49 decision to Michigan after holding a half-time lead.

Other sophs appeared in the Spartan lineup regularly and gave indications that with experience, they might prove the keys to success for Kircher. Some of the most promising are Center Bob end; six-foot-five-inch-football Carey, Guard Clarence "Sonny" Means, a former Saginaw prep star; Forward Bill Bower, Ft.

The college was outgrowing the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association, but the jump to the Western Conference was still three decades away. At that time, as you will note, Chicago was still a member. The Chemistry Laboratory (1871) was no more than this after the first addition in 1882 but it grew with the college until it had 11 or 13 "levels." But it could not keep pace. Chemistry moved out in 1927 and physics moved into its new building in 1949. Now the venerable structure has become the Library Annex.

Ingeni ous landscaping substituted a spruce tree for the missing portion, and few persons have ever been aware of the deletion. Morrill Hall was opened as the Women's Building in the fall of 1900 and served as a residence hall for women until 1937. In addition, it housed the offices and laboratories of home economics until 1924, when the present home economics building was completed. The Women's Building was converted to general offices and classrooms in 1937. At that time is was renamed "Morrill Hall."
