Hunter, one of the nation's top ranking experts in the field of educational radio and television, will become head of Michigan State College's television development program in June. Dr. Hunter is at present radio and television coordinator of Temple Univer sity, Philadelphia, Pa., and educational director of station WFIL, Philadelphia. He heads up educational aspects of all AM, FM and TV programs of the Phila delphia station. The 36-year-old educator received his Ph.D. degree from Northwest University, ern and has more than 10 years of experience in ra dio and TV. He has served on the staff of four ma universities jor and is member of numerous professional and honorary organizations. Hunter Dr. Hunter will coordinate all phases of MSC's television program, including direction of the college's new closed- circuit television station on the campus. Located in the Electrical Engineering building, the campus-wide video system links several buildings with a central control room. look upon College Seeks License At present, the campus station is be ing used for teaching and research into the value of TV as an educational medium, according to James H. Denison, chairman of the college's television com mittee. "We television not as a medium for entertainment, but as the best and most promising audio-visual aid to teaching yet developed," Denison said. Michigan State has applied, however, for one of Michigan's unused television channels. If the license is granted, pres ent equipment will be augmented by a transmitter and programs will be beam ed all over the state from the college campus, Denison said. MSC Returns to Year-Round Basis; Complete Summer Program Offered Michigan State College has stepped up its educational program to offer in struction on a 12-month basis. The accelerated program will enable a student to qualify for a bachelor's de gree in three calendar years instead of four. Full Summer Program The speed-up schedule will begin this summer when a full 12-week quarter will be held June 18 to Aug. 31, according to Dean Stanley E. Crowe, summer school director. An additional six-week course will run from June 18 to July 27, he said. Objective of the new program is to make college graduates available a year earlier for service in the military forces or defense industries. "Despite involved in the difficulties operating 12 months a year, no other course was open to Michigan State Col lege as a land-grant university support ed in the main with public funds," Pres. John A. Hannah commented. ROTC Quotas to Increase Implementing this policy, the number of students who may enter the Reserve Officers Training Corps is being in creased. In addition, both Army and Air Force ROTC units will provide summer military instruction. President Hannah said that defense officials intend to call upon ROTC pro grams for most of the trained officers needed by the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Beyond that, he said, it has been agreed to change selective service policies which have deferred men enrolled in college from the draft only between September Short Course Graduation Approximately 300 Michigan State College agricultural short course stu dents received certificates in graduation ceremonies March 2. Dr. J. O. Christianson, director of agricultural short courses at the Uni versity of Minnesota, was the main com mencement speaker. His address was entitled, "Dealing in Futures." and the end of the normal college year in June. In order to support the accelera tion program in cooperating colleges, selective service is planning to defer men enrolled in college for a college year, no matter when they entered. A freshman, then, who enrolls in June will be able to finish a full year's work. He will not be eligible for the draft during the summer months, as he would have been under the old rules, officials said. Workshops Featured All college departments will be in full operation during the summer, and plans are being made to accommodate an esti mated 1,000 new students. A special freshmen orientation program is planned for June 18, and registration for all stu dents is set for June 18-19. Highlights of the summer session will be 10 workshops in special fields, in cluding television, speech correction, ag ricultural education, guidance and gov ernment. Lecture - Concert Series Features Noted Artists Some of the world's most distinguished musicians, ballet and opera groups and speakers have been scheduled to appear on Michigan State's 1951-52 lecture- concert series. Students, faculty and townspeople, returning alumni will find cultural en tertainment of top-flight caliber avail able on the Spartan campus during the coming year. Sadler's Wells Returns Although the schedule is not complete, 10 concerts, six lecturers and 23 world travelers have already been booked, ac cording to Dean Stanley E. Crowe, series director. Featured on the year's program will be the Sadler's Wells Ballet, New York City Opera Company, the Philadelphia and Chicago Orchestras, Pianist Myra Hess, Jascha Heifetz, world renowned violinist, and two Metropolitan Opera stars, Patrice Munsel and Brian Sullivan.

Recordings were made of students' re actions to an MSC project, "Adventures in World Understanding." The project consists of foreign student weekend visi tations in Michigan com munities. Its purpose is to enable stu dents to learn more about "grass roots" democracy, and, in turn, give Michigan citizens a better understanding of other nations, their people, and customs. to families Injured Coeds Win Two Spartan coeds made the most of their recent hospitalization and came up with the $50 prize for naming the theme of the 1951 Water Carnival. "Cindy" Fortier, Muskegon Donna Heights Jean Grayum, junior, and Parma, O., senior, won the contest with "Quote Me, Mister." Decorations for the carnival floats will center around famous sayings such as "An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away," "Brevity Is the Soul of Wit," and "A Stitch in Time Saves Nine." in February when the car The Misses Fortier and Grayum were injured in which they were riding crashed into a tree after leaving the icy highway. They were returning to the campus after a day of practice teaching in Holt High School. Discrimination Banned Since the end of the war, student leaders at Michigan State have toyed with the idea of doing something about eliminating discriminatory clauses in the constitutions of campus groups. The subject has waned hot and cold on several occasions during the past five years, but there has never been enough steam to get the drives over the first hurdle of opposition. Last month Rep. Gerald Graves, w'51, newly-elected Republican representative from Alpena, built a fire which provided plenty of steam. if Graves introduced institutions legislation which would ban all fraternities and sororities the in state-supported groups had discriminatory clauses in their charters. He later modified his bill to require "any fraternity, sorority to or secret society" and its members submit their constitutions to the state superintendent of public instruction so that it could be determined whether they contained discriminatory clauses. Failure to comply would deny the group and its members "the facilities and privileges" of the college or university. It was im plied that further action would follow examination of the charters. The MSC Student Council voted unani mously in March to require all student organizations, including fraternities and sororities, to eliminate discriminatory clauses from their constitution by Oct. 15, 1956. This bill embodied essentially the same provisions as a resolution adopted a few weeks earlier by the cam pus Inter-Fraternity Council. Fraternity and sorority members joined with non affiliated students on the Student Coun cil to make the new ruling a unanimous opinion. Under the bill, introduced in the Stu dent Council by Tom Angeli, Lansing junior, no new organizations with dis criminatory rulings will be allowed to operate on campus. The law does not prohibit church groups from organizing along lines of religious faith. All groups which belong to national organizations, such as fraternities and sororities, shall be required to call for removal of discriminatory clauses at national and regional meetings of their groups. Six years was set by the Student Council as a fair time limit for eliminat ing such rules from national charters. The real question in everyone's mind was whether good intentions would get the tough job done. THE A F F A I RS OF S T A TE Faculty Affairs the Dr. Harry G. Brainard, Michigan State College economist, has been named to the congressional staff of Rep. Gerald R. Ford, Grand Rapids. He will devote full- time during the next three months to an analysis of appropriations of the executive department of federal government. He has been granted a leave of absence to serve in Washington. Prof. Brainard is a former chief eco nomist for the Office of Price Adminis tration's textile division. He also served as an economist with the U.S. strategic bombing survey in Europe, and on Gen. Douglas MacArthur's research staff in Japan.

New Research Begins A year-long study of community health has been started by the Social Research Service of Michigan State College. The project is being financed by a $28,060 grant from the Health Informa tion Foundation of New York City. The study will be directed by Dr. Christo pher Sower. This is the third major grant received by the Social Research Service since 1949 for study of local health problems. It represents the growing significance of the SRS in the field of sociology, par ticularly in examination of local health problems. In the present study, Michigan State scientists will examine a community which is in the process of evaluating its own health services with an aim toward improvement. Major concern of the project will be the social processes which occur when a community defines its own On The Cover . . .

The men are Victor R. Gardner, '05, director-emeritus of the MSC Agricul tural Experiment Station; Dr. Charles P. Loomis, head of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, and Dr. Paul C. Morrison, professor of geography and assistant to the dean of the School of Science and Arts. technical Gardner is one of a trio of Ameri can experts working with the Colombian Ministry of Agriculture. He is assigned to the National Coffee Foundation. Actually he is in Colombia as a repre sentative of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and his work is connected with President Truman's "Point Four" program of technical assistance for un der-developed areas. Dr. Loomis is a rural sociologist with the Inter-American Institute of Agri cultural Sciences, Turrialba, Costa Rica. He is responsible for organizing and directing MSC's Area Research Center. The purpose of the center is to provide technical assistance to Costa Rica, again in line with the "Point Four" program. Expected to return this month from Costa Rica, Dr. Morrison also has been working at the institute on a geographic study of the Turrialba area on a grant from the U.S. Navy. Though not directly connected with "Point Four," Dr. Mor rison's work has been at the institute and fits into the total program of tech nical assistance. This is Dr. Morrison's third trip to Costa Rica for advanced study. The three Spartan men are the first of several technicians expected to lend special help to the Central and South American nations under "Point Four" program. Several more staff mem bers will go to the southern part of the Western Hemisphere within the next year. the A P R IL 1 5, 1 9 51 . . . . 5 MSC Holds May For High School 1-12 Open House eniors, Parents Tooth Decay Studied By College Scientists A full schedule of events has been planned for High School Seniors-Par ents' Day activities at Michigan State College May 11-12.

The warning came from Frieda B. Hen nock, member of the Federal Communica tions Commission, featured speaker at the sixth annual Michigan Radio-Tele vision Conference on the campus. Miss Hennock commended Michigan State for its leadership in educational television, but warned that the "over whelming majority of educators . .. do nothing about TV." "Television can become an educational miracle or remain a mirage that taunts us with its unlimited possibilities," she declared. "If educators fail to put in bids for licenses now, the time may ar rive shortly when outlets no longer exist and education will suffer a tremendous loss." 6 . . . .

Congratulates Prexy After 14 years of research, a study of heredity's effect on tooth decay in white rats is beginning to shed light on why people have to go to the dentist so much. The 15th year of study in one of the nation's most extensive dental health projects is under way at Michigan State. Experiment with White Rats The project is under the direction of Dr. H. R. Hunt, head of the MSC zoology department, and Dr. Carl A. Hoppert, professor of chemistry. The MSC researchers began their project by perfecting two strains of white rats—one group which gets dental cavities easily and the other which is almost immune to tooth decay. By applying many chemical, zoological, and bacteriological tests to the groups and comparing results, so far the scien tists have found: HEADS SHORT COURSERS: Lyle Champion, sc'40, is congratulated on his re-election as president of the MSC Short Course Alumni Association by Ralph Tenny, short course director.

Michigan State Hormone Research Helps Sterile Cows Produce Milk By JOHN FITZGERALD, '47 Hormone treatments to develop udder in sterile growth and milk production dairy cattle have come closer to reality since the re search late last spring. initial announcement of Scientists of the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station, Drs. Joseph Meites, E. P. Reineke, and C. F. Huffman created great interest in the dairy world when they first described use of two hormones —progesterone diethylstilbestrol. two hor Their research showed these mones could cause sterile dairy heifers to come in milk without calving and to produce amounts of milk comparable to normal cows. and Great Economic Potential Farmers of Michigan and the nation were quick the economic to recognize possibilities of this new treatment for animals previously of no value to the dairy herd. Briefly, the scientists explain that the udder of a normal heifer becomes fully developed during pregnancy as a result of natural activity of the two hormones, progesterone and estrogen. Using the hormones to treat sterile animals is be lieved to cause about the same reaction the as found animal does not have a calf. in normal cows, though New Facts Uncovered Each year, Michigan dairy farmers must discard potentially valuable dairy heifers because of their failure to breed. The hormone treatment may be a solu tion to the problem so that these non- breeders can take their places in dairy herds as productive animals. The method also may prove of value to large com mercial dairies where calves are not de sired and cows are kept only during the milking period. Since their preliminary research, the scientists have come up with further de- Fellowships Available Eight fellowships for advanced study have been established at Michigan State by the board of trustees for the MSC Fund. Seven pre-doctoral fellowships, rang ing in value from $800 to $1,200 a year, and a $3,000-a-year post-doctoral alumni fellowship are available. Money for the fellowships was made available by Spartan alumni through the Michigan State College Fund, the col lege's permanent fund-raising organiza tion. tails. Not all heifers respond this treatment, they caution. Even more im portant is the uncertainty with respect to total milk yields. to tests passed The first two Guernsey heifers used in their "examinations" the with high marks. Both have finished 305 days of lactation and produced, re spectively, 7,573 and 7,487 pounds of milk on a four per cent fat-corrected basis. They also produced 331 and 323 pounds of butterfat, respectively. Test Other Cows One of the original heifers was bred and is expected to drop a calf sometime in May. The scientists are interested in the birth because before hormone treat ment, the heifer had been a consistent non-breeder. The other heifer is still sterile and has been re-implanted with hormones. Several additional heifers and cows are also undergoing experiments at present. Dairymen of Michigan and the nation are patiently hoping that further tests prove as successful as preliminary work on the two sterile Guernseys. Mrs. Myra V. Bogue, 89, Succumbs in February The shrinking list of Michigan State College pioneer lost another families name in February when Mrs. Myra V. Bogue, 89, died at her home in East Lansing.

Juniors Offer Special Military News Service information service for Spartan alumni in the armed forces has been started by the junior class at Michigan State College. An ambitious news and Financed with J-Hop Profits The project will be known as "Sparty in the Service," according to John Green, East Lansing junior, chairman. The service will be financed by profits from the 1951 J-Hop. The program has a two-fold objective. It will provide for an exchange of news between the college and Spartan service men all over the world, and for an ex change of addresses between military personnel and civilians.
