increased  from  30  in  April,  1948 to  85 
today.  The present  organization  includes 
59  Michigan  clubs  and  26  clubs  in  16 
other  states.  In  the  process  of  forma

A  new  four-year  course  for  training 
professional  nurses  will  be  started  by 
Michigan  State  College  in  September, 
according  to  Lloyd  C.  Emmons,  dean  of 
MSC's  School  of  Science  and  Arts.

cal  training. 

Named  acting  head  of  the  new  cur 
riculum  was  Prof.  H.  J.  Stafseth,  who 
is  director  of  the  MSC Division  of  Bio 
logical  Sciences.  He  will  remain  in  this 
capacity  until  a  full-time  director  is 
named. 

Nurses  Needed  in  State 
The  curriculum  is  the  result  of  a  sur 
vey  on nursing  needs  made  by  a  special 
seven-man  committee,  headed  by  Dean 
Emmons,  in  consultation  with  hospital 
nursing  staffs  and  local  committees  on 
nursing  located  within  a  75-mile  radius 
of  East  Lansing. 

The  course  will  be  a  combination  of 
academic  study  at  MSC  and  practical 
training  in  near-by  hospitals.  It  will  be 
jointly  administered  by  an  MSC  direc 
tor  of  nursing  and  staffs  of  hospitals 
where  students  will  take  their  clinical 
training.  The  course  will  be  offered  in 
the  Division  of  Biological  Sciences  of 
the  School  of  Science  and  Arts,  Dean 
Emmons  said. 

Student  nurses  will  earn  a  total  of 
200  credits,  140 at  Michigan  State  and 

Many  Cooperate  in  Venture 

Between  15 and  25  young  women  are 
expected  to enroll  in the course  this  fall, 
Dean  Emmons  said.  Until  enrollment 
expands,  he  said,  two  hospitals  will  be 
used  for 
the  clinical  phase  of  the 
course—Edward  W. Sparrow  Hospital  in 
Lansing,  and  Butterworth  Hospital  in 
Grand  Rapids.  Graduates  in the  curricu 
lum  will  receive  the  degree  of  bachelor 
of  science  with  a  major  in  nursing. 

Cooperating  with  MSC in  setting  up 
the  new  course  are:  the  W.  K.  Kellogg 
the  National  League  of 
Foundation, 
Nursing  Education, 
the  U.  S.  Public 
Health  Service  and  the  Michigan  Board 
of  Registration  of  Nurses.

Funds  for  Veterinary 
Building  Are  Approved 

Michigan  State  College  prepared  itself 
for  further  economy  measures  in  oper 
ational  expenses  for  the  1950-51  year, 
following  a  net  decrease  of  approxi 
mately  $300,000  in  legislative  appropri 
ations  over  last  year's  budget. 

Operation  Budget  Cut 

MSC  received  $7,213,773  to  operate 

teaching  program,  al 

the  on-campus 
though  college  officials  had  requested  a 
net  increase  of  $1,082,236  over  the 1949-
50  budget  of  $7,513,254. 

The  Michigan  Legislature  insured MSC 
against  further  loss of operating  revenue, 
however,  when  it  set  aside  $910,340  to be 
used  to make  up the  anticipated  decrease 
in  income  due  to  the  rapidly-dwindling 
veteran  enrollment.  It  still  left  Michigan 
State  with  $299,841  less  to  operate  the 
college  than  it  had  last  year. 

Michigan  State  also received  $1,400,000 
with  which  to  begin  construction  on  the 
new  $2,400,000  veterinary  medicine  cen 
ter.  The  Legislature  gave  assurances 
that  the  remainder  of  the  money  for  the 
building  would  be  appropriated  in  the 
near  future.  The  building  is  expected 
to  be  completed  in  the  fall  of 1951. 

Extension  Funds  Decreased 

For 

its  agricultural 

research  and 
extension  programs,  MSC  received:  ex 
last 
tension,  $798,889,  compared 
year's  $840,936;  Experiment  Station, 
$785,000,  compared  to  $750,000;  and  the 
Hope-Flannagan  program  of  marketing 
research,  for  matching  federal 
funds, 
$180,000,  the  same  as  was  received  last 
year. 

to 

A  number  of  economy  moves  have 
been  instituted  by  MSC in  order  to  live 
within  the  operations  budget,  according 
to  James  H.  Denison,  administrative 
assistant  to  the  president.  Included  will 
be  the  limiting  of  the  summer  program, 
considerable  reduction 
in  planned  ex 
penditures  for  new  equipment,  and  not 
filling  certain  positions  on  the  teaching 
staff  as  they  become  vacant,  he  said. 

Open  House at Shaw  Hall 

Draws  10,000  Persons 

An  estimated  10,000  persons  got  an 
inside  look  at  MSC's  Robert  S.  Shaw 
Hall  for  Men,  largest  college  dormitory 
in  the  world,  an  open  house  held  June 
3, 
the  Alumni-

Commencement  week-end. 

The  dormitory,  housing  1,600  single 
male  students, was completed  this  spring. 
It  was  named  in  honor  of  President-
Emeritus  Robert  Sidey  Shaw,  who  re 
tired  as  head  of  Michigan  State  College 
in 1941. 

Streamlining  of  Course  Offerings 
Brings  Major  Changes  for MSC 

Broad-scale  administrative  reorganiza 
tion,  designed  to  group  existing  areas 
of  study  more  effectively  and  to  moder

Student  Affairs 

It  cost  Robert  Boston,  a  Flint  junior, 
the  price  of  an  orchid  to  test  a  long 
standing  Michigan  State  College  legend. 
Students  for  years  have  suspected  that 
instructors,  pressed  for  time,  didn't  read 
all  the  way  through  term  papers. 

Boston  handed  in  one  with  a  notation 
buried  back  on  page  15.  "If  you  read  this 
far,  I'll  buy  you  an  orchid." 

Prof.  Lucia  Morgan,  a  speech  instruc 
tor,  did,  and  Boston  did.  Said  Miss 
is 
Morgan,  "The  price  of  an  orchid

Commencement 

Vice-President  Alben  W.  Barkley,  side 
stepping  political  issues,  had  some  grave 
words  for  Michigan  State  College  gradu 
ates  at  commencement  ceremonies. 

"You  find  a  greater  challenge  than  any 
class  heretofore  ever  met  and  a  greater 
opportunity,  also,  than  any  other  class 
heretofore  ever  faced,"  he  said. 

Urging  an  intelligent  approach  to  the 
world's  problems,  he  pointed  out  the  chal 
lenge  was  to  solve  the  increasingly  com 
plex  problems  of  a  modern  society  and 
the  opportunity  emerges  from  an  "aris 
tocracy  of  intellect"  which  college  stu 
dents  have  more  aptitude  for  attaining.

"could  read  it  without  recognizing

New  Assistant  Coaches 
Named To Spartan  Staff 
New  assistant  coaches  in  baseball  and 
football  have  been  announced  for  the 
1950-51  school  year. 

The  new  addition  to  the  baseball  staff 
first 
is  Dick  Massuch,  former  Spartan 
baseman,  who  completed  work  for  his 
degree  in  physical  education 
in  June. 
Massuch  served  as  student  aide  to  John 
H.  Kobs  during  the  1950 season  and  will 
begin  his  full-time  duties  Sept.  1. 

Massuch  won  major  awards  in  foot 
ball  during  the  1944  and  1945  grid  sea 
sons  and  baseball  letters  in  1946  and 
1947.  He  also  brings  two  years  of  pro 
fessional  baseball  experience  to  his  new 
post. 

Hal  Vogler,  1949  football  captain,  has 
been  appointed  a  student  assistant  to 
freshman  mentor  Steve  Sebo  for  the 
forthcoming  season.  Vogler  will  fill  the 
post  vacated  by  Bob  McCurry, 
three-
time  Spartan  captain,  who  resigned  to 
enter  the  business  field. 

For 

the  second  straight  year,  Jack 
Kinney  led  the  team  in  the  all-important 
RBI  department,  adding  31  this  season 
to  his  1949 record  35. 

A  lion's  share  of  the  credit  for  the 
team  success  must  also  go  to  the  Spar 
tans  ace  righthander  Lou  Bloch,  Dear 
born  senior.  Bloch  won  seven  straight, 
and  lost  only  to  Wisconsin  in  the  NCAA 
play-off.  Tom  Lawson,  Detroit  sopho 
more,  was  the  workhorse  of  the  staff. 
He  pitched  70 innings,  recorded  50 strike 
outs,  and  compiled  a  record  of  four  wins 
and  three  losses. 

Hot  Weather  Relief 

Keeping  in  trim  and  beating  the  heat 
was  easy  at  Michigan  State  College  dur 
ing  the  summer  months.  The  MSC  Ice 
Arena,  one  of  four  or  five  in  the  nation 
available  for  hot-weather  skating,  re 
mained  in  operation  from  June  24  to 
Aug.  12. 

Professional  instructors  were  on  hand 
to  accommodate  the  record  crowds,  and 
play  host  to  skating  clubs. 

If  the  results  of  the  annual  spring 
Green-White  intra-squad  football  game 
mean  anything,  fullback  Everett  Gran-
delius  and  sophomore 
right  halfback 
Vince  Pisano  are  going  to  have  major 
roles  in  the  1950  Michigan  State  grid 
plans. 

Grandelius, a  Muskegon  Heights  senior, 
mastered  the  switch  from  the  left  half 
back  spot  he  occupied  in  1949  to  the 
graduation-depleted  fullback  position  so 
well  that  he  won  the  Calhoun  County 
Alumni  award  as  the  "outstanding  play 
er"  in  the  spring  game.  Pisano,  one 
of  several  candidates  in  the  fight  for  the 
place  vacated  by  Ail-American  Lynn 
Chadnois,  was  outstanding  for  the  White 
team  and  was  runner-up  to  Grandelius 
for  the  trophy  in  a  poll  of  radio  and 
press  representatives  present. 

Pisano  Scores  White  Tally 
Grandelius  sparked  the  Green  team  to 
a  14-7 win  over  the  White  unit  by  scor 
ing  both 
touchdowns,  one  a  56-yard 
jaunt, 
the  other  on  a  short  plunge. 
Pisano  scored  the  lone  White  tally  on 
a  pass  from  Willie  Thrower,  but  earlier 
in  the  game  thrilled  the  15,000  specta 
tors  with  a  brilliant  60-yard  run  before 
being  hauled  down  from  behind. 

Munn  will  have  a  squad  of  14  letter-
men  which  will  serve  as  a  team  nucleus 
for  the  season.  Eight  lineman  and  six 
backs  are  in  the  group  headed  by  Cap

Members  were  selected  by  two  class 
committees  from  more  than  400  applica 
tions.  It  is  the  first  such  club  organized 
at  Michigan  State,  although  it  is  hoped

that  succeeding  classes  will  follow

and  their  alma  mater,"  Pino  said. 

Annual Alumni  Roll Call 
Goes Over $17,000  Mark 

The  $17,000  mark  has  been  reached 
in  Michigan  State's  first  annual  Roll  Call, 
according  to  William  L.  Davidson,  MSC 
fund  director. 

"I  would  term  the  project  highly  suc 
cessful,"  said  Davidson.  He  pointed  out 
that  about  half  of  the  pledges  were  yet 
replies 
to  be  received,  and  additional 
should  greatly  increase  the  final  total. 

Will  Give  Financial  Aid 
The  Roll  Call,  instituted  in  January,  is 
a  plan  designed  to  give  financial  aid  to 
taken 
college  activities  not  adequately 
care  of  in  the  regular  budget.  Funds 
are  to  be  used  in  the  purchase  vitally 
needed  research  equipment;  for  expan 
sion  of  research  and  extension  services; 
a  student  loan  fund;  and  the  scholarship 
program. 

More  than  600  class  officers  particip 
in  the  drive,  which  will  continue

serve  as  memorial  to  341  alumni  and 
students  who  lost  their  lives  in  World 
War  II.  It  will  seat  more  than  200 
people  and  will  be  used  for  weddings, 
memorial  services  and  other  sacred
