I wish to second that nomination heartily. Dr. Bailey has accomplised so much more than I knew him first most of our alumni realize. before he graduated from M.A.C. in '82. In 1888 he left M.S.C. for Cornell University at Ithaca, N. Y. He still lives in the house built for him about 1898, adjoining Bailey Hortorium, which he built for himself and later gave to Cornell. It houses over 250,000 preserved plant specimens. Bailey, now 94, has loved his work so much that vacations were not called for, "apt to be vacant." Respectfully, ELWYN T. GARDNER, '85 Parshall, Colorado The article by Leslie A. Buell, '83, in the March 1, 1952 RECORD, regarding the wheat and chess controversy, brings to mind an incident along that line while I was instructor in botany under Dr. Beal, 1893-1904. One day a farmer came into the laboratory with a. head of wheat from which a spikelet of chess was apparently growing out from beneath a spikelet of wheat. Here was positive proof that wheat could produce chess. Dr. Beal dropped the specimen into a dish of water and let it soak a few minutes. Then with dissecting needles he carefully separated the wheat spikelets when the chess spikelet floated out free with no organic union with the wheat. Those years spent under the guidance and friend ship of a great educational personality like that of Dr. Beal, are treasured memories of mine. B. O. LONGYEAR.

Ethomid C/15, a surface active agent produced by Armour and Company, has results when given excellent growth is added not an antibiotic, it produces similar gains when added to swine feed. to swine rations. Though it Pigs Show Weight Gains Gains of experimental pigs fed a balanced hog ration plus Ethomid C/15 were equal to gains of hogs receiving supplemental antibiotics. Both lots of pigs gained at the rate of 1.29 pounds a day. "On the basis of research work com pleted to date, there appears to be no adequate explanation for the growth- promoting properties of Ethomid C/15," the nutrition authorities relate. "We can only gather from that anti biotics are not the only substance which can produce swine gains. significant Much research is needed before any spe cific recommendations can be made." test the Reo Motors, MSC Start New Engineering Course Michigan State College and Reo Mo tors officials got together recently and came up with an engineering program students on-the-job designed their experience while they study for degrees. to give 12 Will Enter Program stu Approximately 12 engineering this dents will enter the new program fall. Dean Lorin G. Miller of M.S.C.'s School of Engineering expects about 50 students in succeeding years. to be enrolled Student trainees will alternate between college classes and the Lansing company, spending three months studying and the next three months in the plant. Working on a full calendar year, students will complete their last two years of college in three years.

T HE R E C O RD LEARNING BY DOING: This student nurse (left) is a member of the first class in nursing education to begin hospital training as a part of her four-year college program. Here she learns the art of caring for patients, how to treat diseases, and the many procedures of the modern hospital. i MSC's First Nursing Class Enters Practical, Hospital Phase of Training This summer 12 M.S.C. students are M.S.C.'s nursing education program. in the hospital and they're not sick. the They are first class of young women to enter the clinical training part of their four-year nursing program at Michigan State. Having finished Basic College and pre paratory nursing classes on the campus, M.S.C.'s first class of student nurses is in hospitals applying this preparation to practical experience. Nation Needs More Nurses These young women are important. When they graduate in 1954 they will enter a profession that needs them. Re the American Nurses' cent studies of Association point out that approximately 80,000 nurses are needed for federal and civilian care. "Although there has been an increase in the nation's nursing ranks, the supply still isn't filling the demand," says Pro fessor Florence C. Kempf, head of New Conservation Series A new series of "Conservation Bulle tins" has been started by the Division of Conservation, according, to Paul A. Herbert, conservation director. Bulletins are published monthly, and will be mailed to alumni wishing interesting and timely conservation news and information, Dr. Herbert said. One reason is that a number of civilian nurses, although remaining civilians, are serving federal agencies such as the army, air corps, navy and others to meet the stepped-up demands of national defense. M.S.C.'s nursing enrollment is grow ing. Some 15 students were enrolled in 1950 when the program began, and approximately 50 are expected to enroll in the fall. As Alumni Have Place in Program local, state, national and inter national health organizations continue to expand, the need for well qualified nurses will continue to grow. Prof. Kempf points out that the nation's college alumni can help interpret these needs to young persons of their acquaintance. "Alumni, like high school teachers and counselors, are in a good position to help interested young people learn more about nursing. They can interpret nursing to high school students in their communities who can fill the qualifications for a career in this field." Prof. Kempf has informa for M.S.C. tion available on alumni who know of interested high school students. request And don't overlook the male of the species. There are more than 1,000 men nurses in the field today, and their num ber is ever-growing.

His time of :57.3 nosed out Ohio State's Dick Cleveland despite a bad start, and tied the mark set by Wally Ris in the 1948 Olympics at Detroit. Pictures of the Spartan Olympians appear along the bottom of this page. Warren Druetzler, '51, former Spartan distance running star, qualified for the 1500 meter run with a second place finish in the event at U.S. final tryouts. Making a repeat performance in the games was boxer Chuck Spieser, '52, who paced the field during tryouts at Kansas City in June. Also participating in the Olympics for a second time was Adolf Weinacker, '50, in the 50,000 meter walk. Fencer Allan Kwartler, '48, quali fied in the sabre event.

Skater Ginny Baxter competed in the Winter Olympics at Oslo, Norway. Football Preview These lazy summer days are the lull before the storm—football variety—at Michigan State. Things around Jenison Fieldhouse are quiet and slow-paced now, but in a few weeks they'll be the most hectic in Spartan history. Every portent indicates this will be so: . .. Mainly because of last year's great undefeated record, most football pundits will be picking State to be No. 1 in the nation this fall. This means a choice collection of headaches for the coaches. . .. As a correlary, sports magazines will be loaded with Spartan material. Head Coach Munn will come in for the glamour in a major glossy like magazine or two, as will players Dick Tamburo, Paul Dekker, Billy Wells, Don McAuliffe and Vince Pisano. treatment . .. Attendances at home and away will reach record proportions. Weeks before the end of the season ticket sale, 25 per cent more had been sold than ever before. Practice opens Sept. 3, and approxi mately 65 to 70 men will be on hand. On them will fall the main burden of protecting M.S.C.'s undefeated skein of 15 straight games. Win or lose, one thing is certain. This season should be the all-time thriller for Michigan State fans. Spring Finals Track, baseball, golf and tennis activity at Michigan State this spring brought the Spartans a record of 38 wins and 23 losses, a second place on the Big Ten tennis scoreboard, fifths in both track and baseball, and 10th in golf. Teams and team representatives appeared all over the U.S., from North Carolina to Minnesota; from Pennsylvania to Cali fornia.

Smiths—all three of them. The parents, Don and Helen, both re ceived bachelor's degree from M.S.C., and Brian, age one, celebrated his birthday on the same day, June 8. For his excellent cooperation during a year of blue books, term papers and other scholastic headaches, Brian arrived at commencement decked out in a pint-sized cap and gown made by his mother. Col lege officials ruled that Brian had not fulfilled the requirements for a degree, so he had to "sit on the bench" during commencement ceremonies. Don and Helen enrolled at M.S.C. in they were discharged from 1949, after the U.S. Navy. Married in 1946, the Smiths have alternated classes with baby sitting for the past year. Don earned a journalism degree, while Helen earned a degree in economics. Helen found no time for other activ ities; but Don engaged in several extra curricular activities, including a post as business manager of the Spartan maga zine. Father is the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Smith, Detroit, and Mother is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Lockhart, New Bethlehem, Pa.
