M I C H I G AN STATE COLLEGE Alumni Throng Grid Field after Homecoming Win RALLY ON VICTORY FIELD: Michigan State alumni flooded onto the foot ball field at Macklin Field following the Spartan's victory over Pittsburgh on Oct. 27. An estimated 12,000 former students gathered at MSC for the week end of alumni activities highlighted by the afternoon football game, numerous reunions and the Homecoming Ball Saturday evening. Spartan Alumni—12,000 Strong Return For H o m e c o m i ng Festivities By JOHN C. LEONARD, '48 A crisp autumn day, bedecked frater nity, dormitory and sorority houses, 12,000 returning alumni, football, re unions, parties and dances—these were the ingredients. And for more than 16 hours on Oct. 27, they were well mixed to produce one of Michigan State's biggest and most suc cessful Homecoming celebrations. Reigning over Mary Trapp Is Queen festivities was the Queen Mary Lonn Trapp, 19, Beulah, who earlier this year was National Cherry Queen. Decked with a 50-rose bouquet, she and 45,000 other fans watched Biggie Munn's Spartans down the University of Pittsburgh, 53-26. Game's end brought on the traditional class placards and alums gathered around them on the gridiron to renew old acquaintances and talk over events of the day. Homecoming was preceded on Friday afternoon with registration in the Union, and meetings of alumni club presidents, and the Alumni Advisory Council. Warm up for the big day came Friday evening in the Hotel Olds where the Central Michigan Alumni Club held its an nual stag smoker, and the Spartan Alumnae Club of Greater Lansing held its first an nual gathering. Throughout the weekend, alumni found themselves ^ ^ ^ ^^ "catching up" on news of their Alma Mater. There were new buildings to see, a number of campus alterations, and, of course, many landmarks to revisit. Mary Trapp Among these points of interest was Giltner Hall for Veterinary Medicine, fast nearing completion—and a number of alums stayed the weekend at the newest campus addition, Kellogg Center for Continuing Education. MSC Sends Educational Mission to Colombia Michigan State College's second in ternational "educational mission" will go to Colombia in South America this winter to aid in training agricultural technicians if a long-term "Point Four" agreement is completed between MSC and federal officials. Foreign Deans Visit MSC Deans of two branch agricultural col leges of the University of Colombia visited the MSC campus in October to confer on the program. They were Dean Carlos Madrid of the Facultad Nacional de Agronomia at Medellin and Dean Guillermo Ramirez of the Facultad de Agronomia del Valle at Palmira. MSC's Pres. John A. Hannah and Agriculture Dean E. L. Anthony visited Colombia re cently to survey the needs and discuss the proposal. This new program follows by three months the selection of Michigan State College to adopt the University of the Ryukyus on Okinawa in a long-range program of educational cooperation be tween the two institutions. Five MSC professors have been on Okinawa since toward the estab September working lishment of a land-grant educational sys tem on the occupied Japanese islands. two Colombia Purpose of the new project is to help the improve agricultural methods, particularly those relating to teaching, research and exten sion methods. colleges MSC to Send 16 Technicians Seven full-time professors and eight half-time graduate assistants are sched uled to go to Colombia for one-year periods. In addition, another professor will be sent for a three-month period to establish a forestry department. Each of the two Colombian agricultural col leges will send two staff members to MSC for graduate training. College officials report that although the initial agreement calls only for agri cultural technicians, the program may expand into other fields such as home economics and engineering. Full expense for the program will be paid under the "Point Four" program but staff members selected for the mis sion will continue as MSC employees. Vol. 56—No. 7 R E C O RD T HE A L V IE L.

November 20, 1951 Commercial TV License Museum Officials Examine Rare Religious Documents Asked by Michigan State Formal application for the allocation of a commercial to East Lansing for the use of Michigan State College has been made to the Fed eral Communications Commission. If the channel to apply for a construction permit and operation license. is assigned, MSC proposes television channel immediately The request was made before the FCC by President John A. Hannah, Dr. Armand L. Hunter, director of television development at MSC, and Robert J. Cole man, director of WKAR. The college request was an amendment to an original petition filed two years ago for a very high frequency educa tional channel. This has never been awarded, although MSC was allocated an ultra high frequency channel March 22, 1951. Three Big Reasons Cited MSC officials told the FCC: station (1) The proposed actually would function as an educational station, fulfilling the FCC requirements to oper ate in the "public convenience, interest and necessity," but (2) The station could provide more balanced programming and higher over all quality to its program through selec tion of the best commercially sponsored network shows; (3) The station would be available for use by government agencies, public schools, other colleges and universities, and many other civic, governmental and educational agencies. Will Help MSC Do Better Job and from President Hannah said: "We maintain that a better job could be done for education, and the educa tional mission of MSC be more fully ac complished, if we were to have access to certain program material available only network commercial sources. . . . We are convinced that with out access to certain commercial pro gram material, we could never do a fully-effective job of television program ming. On the other hand, we are con that having access to such ma fident terial, MSC could and would present cer tain programs of such quality as to justify the highest expectations of both the public and the FCC." in Dr. Hunter gave a proposed general program structure which would include educational programs agriculture, home economics, veterinary medicine and consumer interest; adult education pro grams in many areas; cultural programs; general interest programs in the fields of sports, special events and campus and community activities; and special educa tional interest programs in many areas.

One of the largest and finest pioneer museums the Henry the Midwest, Chamberlain Memorial Museum now lo cated at Three Oaks, has been given to Michigan State College. in Transfer of ownership was made by Fred P. Warren, president of the Ed ward K. Warren Foundation, which has operated in Three Oaks since 1916. the museum Contains Priceless Items Nearly 80,000 articles are in the col lection. Many of the exhibits are inter nationally famous and include priceless items which could not be duplicated. Among the outstanding collections and items are a vast array of pioneer farm and home implements and utensils; a 292-piece watch collection dating from 1700; the Warren Calculating Engine, which in the 1870s added, subtracted, multiplied and divided as a marvel of that age; a 1903 copy of the scroll of the Samaritan Pentateuch (first five books of the Bible); and a rare hymn book used in the 14th century Roman Catholic church. The museum was founded by the late Mr. and Mrs. E. K. Warren, in honor of Mrs. Warren's father, former legislator and member of the State Board of Agri culture. E. K. Warren, founder of the Warren Featherbone Company at Three Oaks, with the help of Mrs. Warren, gathered thousands of the items prior to his death in 1919. residents Thousands to View Museum Annually "Moving the exhibit to Michigan State College will permit a far greater num ber of Michigan receive benefit from this outstanding collection of American history and heritage. An estimated 70,000 educators, Michigan residents and other visitors from throughout the nation will visit the museum in East Lansing each year." students, to President Hannah said: "Michigan State College accepts, with a sense of gratitude and responsibility, the generous gift of the collections in the Henry Chamberlain Museum of Three Oaks tendered by the Edward K. Warren Foundation. that "Everyone at Michigan State who is familiar with the conditions of this gift understand the final analysis, the gift is to the people of Michigan, and that Michigan State College is in the role of custodian of a valuable heritage." in Packaging and transferring of the col the lections will begin in April under direction of Joseph W. Stack, director of the MSC Museum. These exhibits are not expected to be on display at MSC for at least a year, Stack said. N O V E M B ER 2 0, 1 9 51 . . .. 3 THE A F F A I RS OF S T A TE Student Affairs With the big Homecoming weekend over, students settled back to prepare the term papers, final exams and for hard work usually encountered at term's end. Beyond the traditional "cram," how ever, they were looking to the year's big social event—the J-Hop, set for Feb. 8-9 in the college auditorium. Ray An thony's orchestra has been signed for the event which is under the chairmanship of Jeanne Burlingame, Willmette, 111., and Duane Vernon, Ithaca. Students are also at work altering a tradition. Delta Sigma Pi, professional business fraternity, has initiated the idea "Help of changing "Hell Week" Week." Following a trend adopted unani mously by fraternities at the University of Indiana, the MSC fraternity has pro mised its pledges to worthy organiza tions in the Lansing area. to "By carrying bricks to classes or fish ing from city bridges, a pledge neither betters himself or his fraternity-to-be," said George Dellis, Manistee senior, chapter headmaster. "What's needed is a program which will be encouraged, not scoffed at by faculty members, indepen dents and townspeople." Another social fraternity dropped the "social" side for the fall term at least. Phi Delta Theta was placed on social probation for unauthorized parties held during the summer by alumni. Enrollment Drops Michigan State's heavy post-war en rollment took another leveling-off drop this fall when a total of 13,594 students signed up for classes. last fall, and This figure is 9.4 per cent below the 14,993 recorded is sub stantially lower than the all-time record enrollment of 16,234 reached in the fall term of 1948. It is believed, however, that MSC will hold it rank as the tenth largest college in the U. S. in terms of full-time enrollment. is more than holding According to estimates for nationwide college enrollment, however, Michigan its own State the among the U. S. It has been predicted total number of students enrolled in U. S. colleges will be down 12 per cent from the 1950 figure. the educational giants of that The 13,594 figure includes 2,066 vet erans, compared with 4,056 last year, and men students outnumber the women by 9,356 to 4,238. In 1950, there were 10,745 men and 4,248 women students. 4 . . . T HE R E C O RD Create Extension Centers Another major step in extending edu cational services throughout Michigan was taken by Michigan State College this fall when extension centers were estab lished in three cities. These centers are in operation now in Flint, Grand Rapids and Midland. The trio of centers are the first established by the college to offer courses for credit toward undergraduate and graduate de grees from MSC. All courses will be taught by MSC resident faculty members. Most classes will be held in the evening or at other hours convenient for working people, ac cording to Edgar L. Harden, director of the Continuing Education Service. These centers also will serve as head quarters for the numerous in-service and avocational courses which Michigan State has been offering in the past. Directing the extension centers will be Dr. Harold Dillon, head of the Depart ment of Educational and Community Services the Continuing Education Service. in Dillon said that additional centers may be added in other Michigan cities if there is sufficient need and demand from these communities. Cities with sufficient con centration of population and adequate library and classroom facilities are eli gible to be considered as sites for ex tension centers, he added. Wins DuBord Award Ruth Alice Olson, Wayne, Mich., fresh man, is the 1951-52 winner of the Emma the DuBord scholarship, sponsored by Wayne demonstration home group in honor of Miss DuBord, '24, who has been home demonstration agent in Wayne county for more than 20 years. county is provided The scholarship fund to the for training of women further careers in home economics. Barbara Arnold was similarly honored with a scholarship to Michigan State in 1950. As agent in the most heavily populated county in Michigan, Miss DuBord has guided the building of the extension pro gram in Wayne county from 13 groups with 250 members in 1928 to 70 groups and more than 1,000 members in 1951. extension A sterling plate presented the to Miss DuBord by executive board reads: "Emma DuBord Scholar ship, 1948—In love and grateful appre ciation for 20 years of outstanding lead ership, from the extension women of Wayne county." MET STARS: Two of the Metro politan Opera Company's brightest tenor, and stars, Brian Sullivan, led off Patrice Munsel, soprano, MSC's in October. lecture concert series According to Registrar Robert S. Linton, the nationwide decrease in en rollment is brought on largely by the low birth rate of the veteran-heavy graduation classes in 1950 and 1951. the 1930s and large of figure is 1,000 more He added, however, that the final 1951 enrollment than originally predicted. This is due to a number of factors, chief ones being the stabilization of the international situa tion, the new draft deferment program, and the fact that Michigan State can defer a large number of students in its Reserve Officers Training Corps program. "Coed Cop" Graduates A Spartan coed has been expecting the police to look for her since she gradu ated at the end of the summer term— at least she hopes they will. Daisy Kim, Honolulu, Hawaii, became the first woman graduate of Michigan State's Department of Police Adminis tration. Miss Kim graduated the year-old curriculum in crime prevention. She is one of the first women in the nation to graduate from a college police administration course. in The 22-year-old Hawaiian student combined work in psychology, sociology, social service and police administration to prepare for her career. She also spent six months in field service training with various Michigan police agencies. THE A F F A I RS OF S T A TE Faculty Affairs Dr. Milton M. Muelder has been named by Governor G.

She was elected to the post at in the association's meeting held October. The Vaughan Award in Floriculture was awarded to Dr. Sam Asen, of the MSC horticulture department, at a re cent meeting of the American Society for Horticultural Science held in Minne apolis, Minn. Dr. Asen and Dr. 0. W. Davidson of Rutgers University received the award for their paper entitled "The Boron Distribution on Greenhouse Rose Plants." Milton Baron, of the Department of Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning, was elected Michigan chapter president of the American Society of Landscape Architects at a chapter meet ing held this summer in Ann Arbor. Dr. Walter Adams, associate professor of economics at MSC, spent this summer in Washington where he served as eco nomic consultant to the small business committee of the U. S. Senate. "Randolph of Roanoke," is the title of a new book by Russell Kirk, of MSC's Department of History of Civilization. in September by The book, published the University of Chicago Press, is the story of John Randolph, wealthy land owner and colonial congressman. J. Donald Phillips and Laurence J. Taylor, of MSC's Continuing Education Service, left the college to head up the program of human relations at Hillsdale College. Phillips, former head of MSC's adult education department, was named vice-president of Hillsdale College and director of the human relations program. Taylor will serve as an executive assis tant to Phillips. New Research Launched Michigan State College scientists are launching new programs of research in old and new areas on the basis of more than $88,489.70 received from companies and agencies all over the U. S. this fall. Largest single grant was $13,800 from the Social Science Research Council, Washington, D.C., extensive three-year research project on narrow mindedness and political and religious the U. S. and possibly dogmatism Europe. The project will be directed by Dr. Milton Rokeach, associate professor of psychology. for an in As a basic part of his work, Dr. Rokeach will seek to develop scientific methods and instruments which can be used to measure accurately these atti tudes and thought processes. Dr. Rokeach said that the instruments in selecting people for could be used highly-trained intellectual work where the need for non-prejudiced thinking is of vital importance. Such instruments could be used to screen persons with such strong political, religious or other ideo logical beliefs, either pro or con, that they would be incapable of making ra tional decisions. Other grants came to MSC for re the artificial production of search on ergot; the modification of hormonal actions by vitamins and hormones; the nutritive value of milk by-products in swine feeding; and public health hazards of plastic and china dishes. . . the Union On The Cover . Is a picture of natural beauty and serenity as summer turns into autumn in the Beaumont Oval at MSC. This is a familiar scene to Spartan alumni who have for years made their center of activities on return visits. The changing colors of hundreds of trees in the oval present a finished canvas of art beyond the talents of the greatest of men. William Watson, Sixteenth century English poet, said it well: "O be less beau tiful or be less brief!" The photo graph, third in a series of covers portraying the beautiful MSC cam pus, is by John C. Randall, '52. "Alumni News" Expands "Alumni News," MSC's 15-minute radio show for alumni, burned one candle on its birthday last month. During its first year, stations carrying this program in creased from one to 17, according to John McGoff, '50, the show's writer and producer. First aired by the college station, WKAR, in October, 1950, the program log now boasts a network which includes WABJ, Adrian; WLEW, Bad Axe; WHFB, Benton Harbor; WTVB, Cold- water; WKMH, Dearborn; WMIQ, Iron Mountain; WJMS, Ironwood; WJPD, Ishpeming; WMTE, Manistee; WMLN- FM, Mt.

Variety keynotes The new series marks the second time MSC's alumni relations office has spon sored radio shows to alumni. In the late '40s, the alumni office had a series under the direction of the late Glen 0. Stewart. the new program which has had 75 different guest speakers feature and prominent alumni, interviews with alums and former students now in the armed forces, campus events such as Alumni Day and Commencement activities, and recitals by leading campus musical or ganizations. interviewees. Programs "Mikes" have been taken into campus buildings now under construction to give listeners up-to-the-minute accounts of building progress at MSC. McGoff, who is also assistant director of alumni relations, pointed out that news items for the program are always welcome and that alumni may address them to him care of the MSC alumni office in the Union building. Calling All History Grads Calling all former Spartan history de partment majors! Dr. Walter R. Fee, head of the De partment of History, has issued a call for all former history majors to report their whereabouts and other information. Purpose of the request is to maintain better communication between former history graduates and the department, Dr. Fee said. Plans are in the offing for the department to issue a general newsletter concerning Spartan alums of the department. Dr. Fee requests that alumni of his department drop him a line giving pres ent addresses, occupations and other items of general interest.

The longer radio active material remains in the bones, the more damage is done. Dr. Wolterink's research shows that radioactive material remained in the bone for a lesser period of time in rats which had low thyroidism, than it did in normal rats. thyroidism or rickets, high OUTSTANDING 4-H LEADER RETIRES: Ray A. Turner, '09, left, one of Michigan State's most loyal and energetic alumni, has retired after a distin guished career with the 4-H Club program of the U. S. Department of Agricul ture. Above, A. G. Kettunen, '17, Michigan's state 4-H Club leader, hands over two of the many gifts presented to Turner on his official retirement at the National 4-H Club Congress in October. Turner served from 1915 to 1924 with the Michigan 4-H Club program and added 27 more years in helping direct the national program from Washington, D. C. (See also club notes page 11.) Michigan State is one of six labora tories in the nation concerned with the problem of bodily damage from radio active calcium. Other scientists around the country are examining the effects of such radioactive elements as iron, cobalt and potassium. The importance of all this radioactive isotope research is a result of atomic bomb experiments.

Bryan, former dean of the School of Veterinary Medi cine, has been honored by the American Board of Veterinary Public Health for his work in the promotion of veterinary public health. The honor was bestowed in the form of a medal to be given annually to an outstanding MSC veterinary medical student. Resolution the medal was to award voted at the annual convention of the AVMA held during the summer in Mil waukee, WTis. The American Board of Veterinary Public Health is a branch of the AVMA. Dean Bryan died July 30, 1951. Facilities of MSC Placement Bureau Are Available to MSC Graduates An important phase of the work of the Michigan State College Placement Bureau is helping alumni advance pro fessionally, according to John Schlueter, '42, bureau director. The young bureau, begun in 1943 under the direction of Dean of Students Tom King, received more than 4,500 requests in 1950 for alumni in all vocations with varying degrees of experience. Being a young organization, the place ment Bureau has not maintained records of all former graduates. It is not able, therefore, to recommend qualified per sons for many of the positions. Most requests call for people with more than three years' experience. Service Free to Alumni Placement service is free to alumni of Michigan State College who are dis satisfied with present positions, wish to change their areas of employment, want to improve professionally or have other such reasons. At the present time, job possibilities are particularly excellent for technical graduates with from four to 10 years' experience. Schlueter cautioned that the bureau is interested mainly in helping alumni who actually are in need of assistance and are well-qualified for the various posi tions. Though Schlueter would like to have alumni register with the bureau, he asks that alumni not register purely out of curiosity. He asked that alumni write, stating their qualifications, to the MSC Place ment Bureau, 101 Morrill Hall, MSC. Death Takes W. K. Kellogg, Long-Time friend of MSC W. K. Kellogg, 91, who gained as much national favor with his countless philan foods, t h r o p i es as with his breakfast died Oct. 6 in Battle Creek, Mich. Michigan State College has been the recipient of several large grants from the Kellogg Foundation which he estab lished in 1930 as an instrument for giv ing away most of his $50,000,000 fortune. The funds were to be spent "on behalf of the health, the happiness and the well- being of the people of Michigan and all mankind." The Kellogg Foundation gave MSC $1,400,000 with which to construct the recently completed Kellogg Center for Continuing Education on the campus. Other major gifts to the college included the Kellogg Bird Sanctuary, the 700-acre Hickory Corners experiment farm and a large forest near Gull Lake.

Marquette Another Comeback The Spartans ran into another upset- hungry eleven in Marquette, and again had to come from behind in the final quarter to whip the inspired Hilltoppers 20-14. For the second week in a row, a Spartan "pony backfield" of speedy new comers broke the game wide open. Wing- back Bill Wells, Menominee sophomore, galloped 69 yards in the second quarter, then caught a 46-yard pass for a second touchdown.
