Hannah. just the second paragraph of this letter when I looked to see if there was any balance in my check book. You know there should be a law preventing any man from writing a letter that throws you off your economic balance. But before I came out of letter-induced trance, my check was in the mail. His picture was on this letter and you could feel him looking right at you in school master manner. That second paragraph ends with " . institution to which we all owe so much." I was about to take thought from a personal point of view. Then it occurred to me, how little I brought with me for this institution to work on. Thus the fog began to clear and the truth became more obvious. issue with that this this the .. I always give special attention to the "News About These Alumni" section of THE RECORD. There seems to be one lone survivor of the Class of '06. The class of 1905 and all previous classes (according to the March issue) seemed to have joined the Mystic Order of Silence. This news column, as a rule, is almost a void until you reach the classes of 1920 and 1930. 1 remain fully mindful of the tremendous growth of the college, but even so, my dominant interest in the institution stems from, centers in and is retained by my classmates and others who made up the student body during those campus years. Sus tained interest clusters about those pictures that hang on the wTalls of memory. Our increased devotion in present and future growth of the institution will be quickened to the degree that we all may feel that we are a part of the college. to, our sustained interest Although I have not written back to the Alma Mater since I left some 47 years ago, I want to make a suggestion to the remaining 65 members of our class. That suggestion is that each of us write a newsy letter to THE RECORD some time during the month of our birth every year. P ut a little pepper in those news letters for who knows, perhaps we can bring back the "Class Rush" on paper. You all remember how we mutilated that class of '06.

(See Veto Modern Architecture March 20, 1952 Dear Editor: It was with mixed feelings that we viewed the proposed new Library in the January RECORD. M.S.C. truly needs a more adequate library, but why one so modern in design It was our belief that a style of architecture had been established on campus by buildings like Mary Mayo, Landon Hall, Kedzie Chemical Laboratory, Music Build ing, e t c .: all beautiful in design and which will remain so as long as they are in use. A structure can be modern on the interior and still conform to a harmonious architectural plan, but designers today have a fear of "copying" and consequently create something new each they design a building. time When M.S.C. was admitted to the Big Ten, the magazine articles all contained a picture of Shaw Hall, which at the time, was unfinished— flattering picture to represent our not a very beautiful campus. Let us hope in the future more care will be taken in choosing the plans for new buildings so the attractive over-all pattern of our campus -will be preserved. RACHAEL MINGUS DeLONGE, '37 KENNETH A. DeLONGE, '36 Cranford, New Jersey Support for Bogie Dear Editor: May 1, 1952 The letter of Harlan Bogie in the April 15, 1952 issue of THE RECORD is very interesting— along with the editor's comment. Why don't you stop quibbling and get down to the question ? Who cares about Dean or Director or "heavy brass" as you call it. If chemical engineering has been on a departmental level since 1931— 21 years, why is its curriculum still not accredited by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, or is that considered unimportant ? In my opinion, if M.S.C. had more men on its faculty who, in addition to a solid academic background, had had the ends of their figurative noses rubbed off on the industrial grindstone, such problems would have been settled promptly— years ago. Although no longer in the chemical engineering field, I would like to see M.S.C. graduates leave the college with as much professional standing as possible. If the "'heavy brass" on the engineering faculty have other opinions, let them stand up and be counted. Sincerely, J. WARD PERCY, '23 Rutherford, N. J.

When Michigan State College's 1952-53 budget was approved by the Legislature a few weeks ago, college officials found themselves in the same dilemma as the average American housewife to stretch a slightly-increased paycheck to life at much- buy inflated prices. the necessities of trying The college requested $12,555,000 for general operations, $1,636,683 for the Cooperative Extension Service, $1,356,553 for the Agricultural Experiment Station, and $205,000 for the Hope-Flannigan marketing program.

This is due to much-needed cost-of-living wage and salary adjustments made for the college staff, declining income from student fees and inflated material costs. to pay wage and salary About $846,000 of this total will be required in creases. Another $225,000 will be needed to offset the prospective loss in fee in largely by the depletion come, caused of veterans from the campus.

Although the 1952-53 appropri ations are larger than the current year's budgets, these increases are more than offset by the increased salary scale and inflated costs of materials. Michigan State's plans for the critic ally-needed new Library and Animal Industries Buildings also were put into abeyance by lack of an appropriation.

A reason for the new move was that ROTC graduates who have entered the armed forces have complained that they feel embarrassed because they do not know what to do about saluting. Spring Activities Budding trees and blossoming flowers gave the signal for the annual round of spring student activities on the Spartan campus. Highlighting the festivities was the auction, third annual Campus Chest which netted $300 for the charity or ganization. Largest booty was Dean of Students Tom King, who was sold to Zeta Beta Tau fraternity for $32. Dean King placed ZBT on 10 weeks probation earlier in the year for a pledge prank (See Affairs of State, April RECORD.) President Hannah, who could not appear at the auction, went for $20; and football players, campus queens, other staff members and students went on the block for charity. The 42nd annual Senior Swingout pro vided graduating seniors an opportunity to don their caps and gowns for the first time. The parade, led by class officers and the marching band, wound through the campus to the auditorium where the program was held.

The first broadcast was one of a series entitled "Way Back Home." It was de signed to give service men weekly enter tainment while overseas. The second program was a special 30-minute broadcast for the armed forces. The programs mark the third major network broadcast for the glee club this year and the ninth in the past three years.

President Hannah gave He said lasting peace may be better achieved through Point Four than by a policy of heavy defense spending. Although President Hannah pointed out that Americans agree that the nation must be defended from its enemies, he added: "A great many of us are wondering whether we can continue to divert a large amount of our annual income to programs of defense. Many of us wonder whether there cannot be some other defense for us than a moat filled with golden dollars.

Olympic Fund Drive A contribution to the U.S. Olympic Association will help send Michigan State athletes to the Olympic Games at Hel sinki in July.

Of the total $850,000 needed to finance the 550-member U.S. team, only $97,000 has been collected to date. Young asks that Spartan alumni rally behind the drive.

Kellogg, '25, Chief of the Division of Soil Survey, U.S. Department of Agriculture, recently published his second book, "Our Garden Soils." The book, primarily for home garden ers, deals with soils and plants about the home—the kitchen garden, flower beds, the lawn, and plantings of fruits and ornamental shrubs. Emphasis is given the improvement and management of poor soils—soils that are too clayey, too sandy, too wet, too dry, too hilly, for too thin, too silty or too infertile garden plants as they are. Kellogg, a native of Ionia, received his B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from M.S.C. in 1925 and '29. He is also a former faculty member of the college. Following two years as soil scientist at the Uni versity of Wisconsin, and four as an assistant professor of soils at North Dakota Agricultural College, he went to his present position in Washington, D.C.
