S. industrial production of both civilian and military goods. This is the warning issued by Lorin G. Miller, dean of engineering at Michi gan State College. Face Shortage of 60,000 Engineers Dean Miller said that this country will face a shortage by 1955 of at least 60,000 engineers, or about one-sixth of the total engineering force needed by U. S. in Industrial competition for per dustry. sonnel, which this year saw qualified engineering graduates get five to ten offers at salaries 15 to 20 per cent over last year, is bound to increase. One of the chief reasons for this situa tion is the false public opinion that re turning veterans had so overloaded the industry's needs that engineering field would not catch up with supply in the next decade. Actually, Dean Miller pointed out, in dustry already has completely absorbed all of the engineering graduates of the past In three veteran-heavy classes. view of the fact that engineering is a profession of rapidly expanding oppor tunities, the demand to be heavier, but the supply shorter.

The property was given to the college in the will of Fred Russ, Cassopolis phil anthropist and businessman, who died April 10. The land is located in Cass County near the 580-acre tract given to the college by Mr. Russ in 1942. Known as the Fred Russ Forest, it has been used extensively for research and on-the-job training of students by Michigan State's Department of Forestry. ing number of such technically trained men. Demand to Remain High Engineering graduates during the next few years, at least, can expect to be very much in demand, and at increasingly better salaries. During the current year, he said, graduates with bachelor's degrees received starting salaries of $300-350 a month, and master's graduates got $325-450. Dean Miller said that capable high school graduates should be informed by teachers and counselors of the possibili ties for a career in this field. "If the student has basic aptitudes and abilities necessary for engineering work, he could not pick a field with more potentialities today," he said. Two Well Known MSC Figures Die This Spring Death came this spring to Charles E. Ferris, educator, and William "Bill" Gill, MSC chemistry staff member for more than 26 years. '90, prominent Mr. Ferris died May 19 in Knoxville, Tenn. He had retired from the faculty of the University of Tennessee in 1942 after 50 years of service to the institu tion. He served as dean of engineering from 1910 until he was retired as dean emeritus in 1942. Received Many Top Honors "To his guidance, thoughtful planning and untiring energy, the growth and success of the College of Engineering may be largely attributed," was the credit given him when the University of Tennessee named its new engineering building for him recently. Mr. Ferris received many top educational honors, among them an Alumni Distinguished Service Award in 1947 from MSC. Known to two generations of chemistry students as "Bill," Mr. Gill died April 15, in Mount Dora, Fla. He first came to MSC in 1922 as stockroom clerk and was in charge of all chemistry stock rooms when he retired in 1948. He is survived by his widow and three sons, William M., '34; Thomas R., '35; and Albert H., '42. MSC Publishes Booklets For Prospective Students A question and answer session for high school students interested in a college education is being published by Michigan State College in the form of 20 new in formational booklets. The booklets are a result of a two-year study of questions most frequently asked by prospective college students, according to Dr. Guy Hill, coordinator of high school cooperation. Career Fields Featured The first booklet, entitled "Is College My Next Step," outlines briefly the why, what and how of a college education, spe cifically at MSC. It answers the most- asked questions about college that high school students post to visitation people, high school counselors and teachers. Nineteen other brochures cover the career fields in which Michigan State Col lege offers training, giving the reader not only facts about facilities at MSC but also professional career opportunities. "The booklets are done in an informal, 'me-to-you-style,' and should prove of tre mendous value to students trying to map their futures through college education," Dr. Hill said. Completion Set for Aug. 15 Almost three-fourths of the booklets are now in distribution, and the re mainder will be completed by Aug. 15. Covered in separate brochures are the career fields of home economics, business administration, economics, social work, government, journalism, agriculture, medical technology, veterinary medicine, police administration, teaching, engineer ing, fine arts, hotel and restaurant man agement, physical education and health and recreation, social science and the humanities, the sciences, pre-professional fields, and food distribution. "The Greek" Leaves a Mark Phed Vosniacos, senior from Athens, Greece, made a mark at Michigan State that probably will not be equalled in many years. He became the first foreign student to hold an executive position on the Michi gan State News. After completing his term as editor in June, Vosniacos said: "English is all right, but just think what I could have done if they would have let me print that paper in Greek."

Erickson, nationally- known educator and guidance expert, took over as the new dean of the Basic College at Michigan State College July 1. Dr. Erickson has directed the college's Institute of Counseling, Testing and Guidance since 1945. He becomes the second dean of the Basic College since its inception in 1944 as a two-year gen eral education program. He succeeds the late Dean Howard C. Rather, who died Dec. 28. Is Prominent Author Dr. Walter R. Fee, head of the Depart ment of History and the Basic College Department of Social Science, served as acting dean pending appointment of a permanent Basic College dean. The 44-year-old educator brings to his new position an outstanding educa tional career of 23 years of administra tion, research and teaching in Illinois and Michigan high schools and colleges. He is a prominent author, having written or co-authored 11 books and numerous articles on educational guidance. Dr. Erickson holds executive posts in several national organizations, the presidency of the National Vocational Guidance Association. including Has Ph.D. from Northwestern The new Basic College dean received his bachelor's degree from Northern Illinois State Teachers College and his M. S. and Ph. D. degrees from North western University. He was assistant dean of the University College in Chi cago and director of the guidance labora tory, both at Northwestern, prior to coming to Michigan State in 1944 as a full professor in education. Dr. Erickson assumes direction of a program which seven years ago intro duced to the educational world a unique plan for general education. The success of the Basic College has brought out standing recognition to MSC and it is generally regarded as the most advanced required general education program in the U. S. today.

NEW DEAN: Dr. Clifford E. Erickson was named this summer as the new dean of the Basic College. The 44-year-old educator succeeds the late Dean Howard C. Rather, who died Dec. 28. New MSC Song Album To Be Ready This Fall Michigan State College will soon have ready for distribution its first recorded album of eight MSC songs and music, sung and played by its own musical or ganizations. Work of recording, performed by the Recorded Publications Company, Camden, N. J., was completed this summer. The albums will be made available through the Michigan State College book store, probably early in the fall. New MSC March Featured Demand for such an album grew after the MSC Men's Glee Club made a single record of college songs a year ago. So many alumni and other interested per sons asked for an enlarged group of the new venture was recordings undertaken. that The new three-record album features a new college marching song. Entitled "The Michigan State College March," it was composed by Frank Marsales, Los Angeles, Calif., a commercial composer. Also included in the forthcoming album are "Shadows," "The Fight Song," "MSC Spartans," "Close Beside the Winding Cedar," "Gallant Seventh," and "Clap Your Hands." Providing the music are the MSC Concert Band, Men's Glee Club, and A Capella Choir. Insufficient State Funds Means Cutbacks at MSC Some cutbacks in the services rendered by Michigan State College to the people of the state are in prospect for the 1951- 52 fiscal year because the Legislature appropriated $1,275,500 less than college officials estimated would be necessary to maintain the 1950-51 program. College Gets $9,875,C03 A request for an appropriation of $11,150,500 was submitted to the Depart ment of Administration last fall. Subse quently, an appropriation of $9,875,000 was recommended by Gov. G. Mennen Williams' fiscal advisors, and the recom mendation was accepted by the Legisla ture. That amount is $784,000 greater than the state appropriation for the 1950-51 fiscal year, but net monies available for use will be about $175,000 short of the amount available last year. Less Income from Student Fees The difference is that MSC anticipates a loss of $429,000 in fees from students, and is obligated to pay an additional $446,000 to staff and faculty members in increase the form of a cost-of-living granted Jan. 1. Beyond that, it will cost the college at least $75,000 more to heat, clean and maintain the physical plant this year because two new buildings— Giltner Hall and the Kellogg Center— will be in operation. Most of Kellogg Center is operated on a self-sustaining basis, but the college is obligated to pro vide maintenance the classroom, laboratory, and other facilities not used in the program of the Continuing Educa tion Service. for College officials point out that while the treasury will be short some $175,000 in actual cash, current prices are so much higher than they were a year ago that the actual is much more severe than that figure would actually indicate. stringency Another Belt-Tightening Year It is hoped to absorb the loss of funds throughout the college operations, rather than by any drastic reductions in a few specific service areas. As some positions become vacant they will not be filled, and there will be another year of general belt-tightening. The Legislature appropriated $911,083 for the Experiment Station, $963,287 for the Extension Service, and $180,000 for the Hope-Flanagan research projects. Although these amounts are approxi mately 10 per cent above those available last year, there will be no expansion of programs because of the Jan. 1, 1951 pay adjustment and increased prices, officials added.

Rain and threat of to dampen rain, however, failed the enthusiasm of seniors and alumni who joined hands in traditional events winding up the college year May 31-June 3. Rain washed out the first two showings of the Water Carnival on Thursday and Friday nights, but quick repairs put the the finale on floats Saturday night. in good order for On Sunday, threatening skies failed to discourage some 20,000 alumni, par ents and friends from watching 3.000 students graduate in the college's 93rd Commencement in Macklin Field stadium. Seniors and faculty, how ever, held crossed fingers throughout the ceremonies which marked the first out door Commencement since the bandshell graduation in 1938. program The audience heard Nelson A. Rocke feller, chairman of President Truman's Point Four advisory board, ask for an expanded program of technical and eco nomic aid for the underdeveloped areas of the world. Rockefeller called for a centralized U. S. office to coordinate and direct this expanded program of aid to about two- thirds of the world's population. This central agency would consolidate work now being done by 23 separate govern ment agencies, he said. "We and our system of government It is are on trial in the world today. our greatest challenge. "We have to find ways and means to the have the capitalistic system serve rest of the world as well as it has served this nation. A program such as this is our only hope for the future." Rockefeller said that when these ways and means are found, and when the free citizens of the world band together for a common purpose, "the 'iron curtain' will be torn to shreds by the people coming out from behind it." Michigan State College paid its high est honor to Rockefeller and Dr. Alex ander G. Ruthven, retiring president of the University of Michigan, when MSC President John A. Hannah conferred on them the honorary doctor of laws degrees at Commencement. Dr. Ruthven was cited for his outstand ing 40-year career as zoologist, research authority, teacher and administrator at the University of Michigan.

Hard-Hitting Spartan Baseball Team Finishes in Seventh Slot in Big Ten By BUD ERICKSON, '48 The 1951 Michigan State baseball team, the hardest-hitting unit ever to represent the college, wound up with a season's record of 17 wins and nine losses, includ ing a seventh place finish in Big Ten competition with a 4-6 record. The lack of consistent top-notch pitch ing cost the Spartans a chance of cop ping a Western Conference title in their first year of league play. Coach John Kobs' sluggers pounded out a pair of wins over Iowa, split a two-game series with Indiana and Michigan, and dropped a pair of games each to Minnesota and Ohio State, the conference titlist.
