Herbert Stresses Conservation Need Pres. John A.

Hannah said. Emphasis on Teaching and Extension "Michigan State College has been giving instruction in forestry for more than 50 years and in wildlife manage ment and soil conservation since their inception in this country," Pres. Hannah said. "The college also has been long active in rural planning, zoning, and recreational and municipal forestry. These have been important functions of the larger program of land use and land problems in agriculture." Ernest L. Anthony, dean of the School of Agriculture, said greater concentra tion would be placed on teaching and extension work in the new division. The Michigan State College School of Engineering will flex its muscles and throw out its chest May 12-13, when the second annual MSC Engineering Exposi tion will be staged. The two-day affair is designed to dis play the college's engineering facilities, in addition to illustrating the job oppor tunities in the field. More than 50 dis plays, exhibits and illustrated lectures spread over the entire engineering plant will aid in this effort. High Attendance Expected Total attendance is expected to exceed 5,000, with the majority of these being high school students interested in enroll ing in college engineering. Last year, took part. an estimated 4,000 persons Chairman is William S. Fiscus, Detroit senior and president of the MSC Engi neering Council. GamfUiA, £.ijje jp^i Next fyew IjeaM Mass graduation of veterans from Michigan State College this year is not expected to return the campus immedi ately to the frivolity of pre-war years. Educators expect the sober-minded attitudes of ex-GI's to leave a deep im pression on college campuses for a num ber of years. The complexion of campus life will be altered, however, to youth, more coeds, and the prospects of a more intense social whirl. Mass Departure in June "This is the big year for veteran graduation all over the nation," said Registrar Robert S. Linton. "At Michi gan State, veterans will make up more than 70 per cent of the June Commence ment class of 3,600 students." With the departure of more than 2,600 ex-servicemen in June, veteran enroll ment will drop off sharply from the 42 per cent of the student body mark estab lished last fall. Veterans in the first three comprise 30 per cent of the student body. classes at present Changes in the age composition, how ever, is not expected to affect overall R E C O RD T HE A L V IE L.

He added that the influence of the more mature veteran will no doubt carry over for the next few years. Horesplay Makes Comeback Horseplay and "hazing," flushed off the campus by the ex-GI's, has made a slight comeback this year, but Dr. An derson said these "forms of agression" will not return immediately to the pre war level. The great number of married veteran students also is expected to encourage students, particularly seeking higher degrees, to marry at earlier ages than in the pre-war years, according to Judson T. Landis, MSC expert on mar riage and family affairs. those There will evolve a more intense so cial program on the campus among younger students, Dr. Landis predicted, but academically, the high achievement of older veteran students has set a pat tern expected to be copied by the teen age students.

Plans for a full round of pre-Com- mencement festivities were in the mill for a record-breaking class of 3,600, to be graduated in June 4 ceremonies. Highlights of senior activities will be three dances, May 10, 17 and 25, the senior play, May 17-20, and Lantern Night, May 31. Pres. John A. Hannah will receive seniors in the Union Building May 23 and 24, and traditional Senior Swingout is set for May 25. Lantern Night will be held May 31, Commence ment dance, June 2, and the Water Carnival, June 1-3. the Senior interest in re-establishment of baccalaureate services this year resulted in the scheduling of a special senior ves per service May 14. Meanwhile, other students were shut tling between the shenanigans of campus life and the achievements of the more serious-minded students. Grant A. Kersten, waterlogged but reconciled Detroit sophomore, became the "cleanest man at MSC" by signing up for 15 one-hour sessions of physical education. He takes 15 showers a week— one after each of his 15 hours in class— and "one on Saturday night, from sheer habit." in the Phi Kappa Phi fraternity became en tangled toils of administrative discipline for holding an "unscheduled party" and was placed on strict dis ciplinary probation until June. Men living in Wells Hall had a fight on their hands this spring—but it seemed they would be evicted anyway. have officials Housing tentatively planned to move Wells Hall residents into newly available space in other per manent dormitories, and use vacated Wells Hall to ease another housing shortage—ugh—among women. Forthwith, males rallied everything they had from philosophy to bombast to fight the decision.

Announcement was made recently by Dean S. E. Crowe, series director, that four Metropolitan Opera stars, three in ternationally prominent pianists, a ballet and opera company and an impressive list of lecturers had been signed to the 1950-51 series. Included on the series will be James Melton, Kirsten Flagstad, Ferruccio Tag- liavini and Ljuba Welitch of the Met; the New York City Center Opera Com pany; pianists Arthur Rubinstein, Rob ert Casadesus and Vladimir Horowitz; the Robert Shaw Chorale; Minneapolis Symphony and Amsterdam Concertge- bow; and Burl Ives, well-known ballad singer.

And Still a Drip thankful Two Michigan State College students are during Farmers' Week here strolled into their dormitory room. They know now what to do about a leaky radiator. a visitor that The visitor did not give his name. He told the students, however, that he had the same room in old Wells Hall back in 1922 when he was a student at MSC and the radiator leaked as badly then. To fix the radiator he suggested that the students appropriate a length of rubber hose from the chemistry labora tory, attach one end to the radiator and throw the other end out the window. To the students, the adjustment was a vast improvement over the gallon can they had been using. Flying Study Delayed Take-off of Michigan State College's six-week European "Flying Classroom," scheduled for March 20, was delayed to April 10 to allow several states more time to raise scholarship funds. Approximately 70 educators and school administrators, representing every state in the nation, are scheduled to board the "Flying Classroom" for a flying study of economic, political and social condi tions in 11 European countries. Each state will send a representative under a scholarship raised by business, industrial and other groups. ARTHUR RUBINSTEIN: students, a wealth of culture. For tors have tentatively decided to return Wells Hall to women. All the male arguments boiled down to one: "We don't want to move."
