Of chief interest was the adoption of a new rating scale which will be used to select the outstanding clubs of the Alumni Association each year, according to Starr H. Keesler. Reelected the second to office for straight year were Harold Gasser, '25, council chairman; Sheldon Lee, '17, vice- chairman; and Al Cox, '33, secretary. The Council also approved and recom mended that 11 new names be placed on the Honor Roll of alumni who gave their lives in the service of their country. The names are: Lamont C. Hoagland, '29, Rufus Roberts, '37, Don M. Reid, '30, Irving R. Perine, '33, Amos R. Allen, '40, Homer M. MacKay, '37, Zane S. Amell, '49, Douglas K. Bland, '47, Renaldo Kozikowski, '55, Albert E.

Known for years as one of the nation's best college musical organizations, it now ad vances to a high spot in the "looks" department. This year its members are sporting new uniforms—forest green with white trim, spats, gloves and hats. Chief "strutter" is Eugene F. Hickson, Pontiac senior. He is also half-time signal caller on Sat urdays at Macklin. But behind him, the 120 members, the fine music and formations, is the man who deserves most credit—Prof. Leon ard Falcone, in his 25th year as band director. Falcone begins re hearsals two weeks before college opens. Seven hours of practice a week are required for each 15- minute half-time show. The result —prolonged applause for the snap and color these men contribute to Spartan football games. — Cover Photo by John Randall, '52.

Adult Educators Hold National Meet at MSC Nearly 400 men and women of the Adult Education Association gathered in Kellogg Center in late October to figure out how best to meet the needs of America's 13,000,000 grown-ups who study in classes aimed at furthering their education. Armed Forces Represented Representatives of the army, navy, marines, and air force, and those from nine foreign nations were also in at tendance. The group established a committee for the preservation of intellectual free dom. Purpose of the new committee is to discover ways by which adult educa tors can help preserve the environment in which American problems will continue to be faced, and to promote local and national cooperation among organizations and persons concerned with the preser vation of intellectual freedom. Head of Land and Water Conservation Named Frank W. Suggitt, '42, has been appointed head of M.S.C.'s Department of Land and Water Conservation. A veteran of World War II, Suggitt was employed by the Michigan Depart ment of Conservation as a land use spe cialist in the land's division, after his discharge. Joined Staff in 1945 He joined the M.S.C. staff in 1945, serving as assistant county agricultural agent at large for the Michigan Agricul tural Extension Service. He later became assistant professor of extension conser vation in 1948. A member of the Michigan Academy of Science, Suggitt returned to M.S.C. recently following a year's study at Harvard University on a Carnegie fel lowship. His work at Michigan State has been land in the areas of promoting better use planning in communities, townships and counties throughout the state. THE RECORD J O HN C.

To find the answer, Michi gan State College and the University of Chicago, are conducting the nation's first research project designed to take stock of relations between public educa tion, press and radio. Project Has Five Aims to the three Objectives of information used by five-year program include finding out the present state of school and university public opinion and information; measuring con tent — both quantity and quality — of educational the Michigan press and radio; building an interpretative program of education for the public based on the study; measuring effectiveness of this program; and learn ing how to encourage people to act for schools after they are given educational information. Mclntyre Conducts Project Earl A. Mclntyre, assistant professor of journalism and program coordinator, is using the facilities of M.S.C. and the Michigan Press Association to conduct the project. Public opinion research and content analysis of press and radio will be the first steps in the project, according to Mclntyre. These will be followed by study determining where communications between educational institutions and the press and radio break down. "An extensive program of public education through press and radio will then be carried out, and a study to measure effectiveness of the program." Providing construction available, the station will be able to cover a radius of from 34 to 65 miles. tower and equipment installation go along smoothly, plans call for the station to be in full operation by fall, 1953, Dr. Hunter says. is possible for the station to be running before this time should college o f f i c i a ls decide to reduce the power of the transmitter—also reducing recep tion radius."

Quite recently, in fact, shows have been filmed in the campus studio and sent to Michigan commercial TV stations for public service use. there At present is only one UHF station in the United States, according to Dr. Hunter. The college station will be Michigan's first UHF station. Alumnus' Job Turns Up "Sound Hunting" Hobby "Grab your tape, and let's go hunting." That's the familiar cry of a selective group of sportsmen engaged in the art of "sound chasing."

"The opportunities are limitless," says Barrett. "You find yourself thinking up all sorts of ventures. I've got a spot lined up now where I can get the voices of some coyotes. After that I'm trying for the voice of a wolf. I know where there's one in captivity that will howl when a bell is rung, but the record I want is one from the wild." Sportsmen taking up this hobby find that they can keep a perfect record of adventures they like to remember. GRABS OF THE MONTH: Jones, left, and Guerre receive new honors (see story below).

The grand total—14,033—broke down into 9,254 men, 4,649 women and 130 short course students who registered late in October. Registrar Robert S. Linton attributed the increase to a larger number of new and transfer students, and a jump in the number of women students. The ratio between men and women at M.S.C. —usually two to one—"dropped" to 1.99 men for each coed.

Total space in Giltner Hall is about 232,000 square feet (five acres) and 3,327,000 cubic feet. Only Jenison fieldhouse and the auditorium building are larger. The building includes about 60 teaching and research laboratories; five operating rooms; specially designed quarters for x-ray treatment and research; and a large animal clinic with a capacity of 80 animals. Giltner Hall is used mainly to train 260 veterinary, pre-veterinary and med ical technology students, and to conduct research and extension work directly related to this field. These students are only about one-tenth of the number who will use the new building in elective or "service" courses. In the service aspects of veterinary medicine, more than 10,000 small animals and 1,541 large animals last year were treated in the M.S.C. clinic; and some 3,000 "house calls" were made by exten sion veterinarians to Michigan farms. All of these programs—teaching, re search and extension—will be enhanced tremendously through the new facilities, Dean Clark said. NEW GILTNER HALL BEGINS FIRST YEAR OF OPERATION: Michigan State's new $2,400,000 veterinary medical center opens its first year of full operation this fall. The new structure, built with funds from an appropriation by the Michigan Legislature, connects the old veterinary and anatomy buildings which have been thoroughly modernized. Containing nearly five acres of space, Giltner Hall serves some 2,600 students taking courses in veterinary medicine, bacteriology and public health, and anatomy.

Stern Warning A stern warning that America's higher educational system may not be equipped for its greatest crisis, expected in 10 to 15 years, was last month by issued President John A. Hannah. Hannah spoke before the 30th annual meeting of the Association of Governing Boards of State Universities and Allied Institutions in Portland, Ore. in rise college Reminding the educators of the tre mendous enrollment expected about 1960, President Hannah said layed firm groundwork must be right now to insure that this crisis is successfully passed. "We must tell the story . .. of higher education to the people and legislatures of our states," he said. "State Tomorrow's job for higher education will call for larger appropriations and more teachers, so that both the physical intellectual plants of colleges and the facilities can be prepared for the crisis. legislatures need only to be reminded that the alternatives to pro viding adequate physical plants and operating funds are these: limit enroll ments to the number that can be accom modated reasonably, or else admit all comers and lower our educational stand ards tremendously." Dr. Hannah said neither of these alter the natives would be acceptable American people. to Another key problem facing educators during the next few years is that of maintaining adequate teaching staffs for American colleges, Hannah said. Hannah said that the production of teachers in the past few years has been lagging behind the number needed in the next 13 years; and the shortage has been intensified by competition from business, industry and government. Gifts and Grants More than a quarter of a million dollars has been received by Michigan State College during the past three months to further research, teaching, and ex tension projects. The college has accepted $287,510 in gifts and grants from more than 100 individuals and organizations. Included in the total were some 30 gifts and grants for research purposes, seven for scholar ships and student loan funds, and two for specialized courses. Significant during three-month period were three grants totaling $41,897 the OUTSTANDING: Sue Shorney, of the Saginaw Arthur Hill High School News, receives the John S.

The physiology department was given $9,000 to do research into the local factors in bone mineralization and to study calcium and strontium absorp tion. The Department of Chemistry was given $7,312 to do research on methyl- ation reactions occurring in plants. Another large grant of $15,000 was given to the Department of Agricultural Economics by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The M.S.C. Department will prepare courses of training for retailers of meat and meat products. For basic research in the area of ultra sonics, the M.S.C. physics department received $13,968 from the Ordnance Corps of the Detroit Ordnance district. Another significant grant came from the Army Quartermasters Corps, Alex andria, Va. That military organization gave $12,400 to the Department of Bac teriology to build mechanical dishwash ing machines and experiment with their operation. Discover New Dye Speaking of grants—an accident in a chemical engineering laboratory on a project financed by a research grant has resulted in the development of a new water repellent dye. Back in 1947, while working on another project, Dr. C. C. DeWitt, director of the M.S.C. Engineering Experiment Sta tion, spilled some dye on the laboratory floor. A white cloth was used to mop it up. Later the same cloth, now colored with spots, was used to clean up some water. It was then that scientists noted the dyed portions of the cloth were not wet. From this discovery, they began an entirely new series of experiments, using the dye—a substance containing some of the properties of mineral oil—on wool and cotton. In research thus far completed, wool fibers treated with the new dyes had a wetting time 60 times greater than the undyed wool; and with cotton fibers it was 12 times greater. Dr. DeWitt says that the dyes can make cotton and wool clothes water repellent and more durable without any change in texture or composition. A definite improvement over most of the present water-proofing methods is the permanency of the new dyes, Dr. DeWitt said. The water repellent proper ties of the new dye will remain in the fabric as long as the dye itself. Dr. DeWitt foresees possible immediate application of these new dyes in the manufacture of such items as tents, awn ing materials, and umbrellas, although their use in clothing may take a little more time.

N O V E M B ER 2 0, 1952 . . .. 7 Press Box Report on SPARTAN SPORTS By FRED STABLEY and TED EMERY Top Team The talk of the football world by mid-season was Michigan State's mighty team, winner of six straight football games this year and 21 in a row going into the Indiana contest. Michigan, Oregon State, Texas A. and M., Syracuse, Penn State, and Purdue all had succumbed to the most potent offensive combination ever to wear the Green and White. It had rolled up 188 points, an average of 31 per game. It boasted five running backs with averages of over five yards per carry, and 13 pass receivers averaging 11 yards or better per catch. Defensively the club was more than adequate, allowing just 54 points, or an average of less than ten per game. All of these heroics landed the Spartans No. 1 in the country week after week in the major national polls of gridiron strength, while the team also topped the nation in total offensive figures. High in contention for All American honors were backs Don McAuliffe, Tom Yewcic, Billy Wells, LeRoy Bolden and Jim Ellis; ends Paul Dekker and Ellis Duckett, and linemen Dick Tamburo and Frank Kush. Michigan State had scaled grid heights in a manner which would have exceeded the wildest dreams of the most enthusi astic alumnus a few years ago. To review the early season briefly: Michigan fell 27-13 after scaring the Spartans by getting off to a 13-0 lead in the first quarter. From then on bril junior Tom liant quarterbacking by Yewcic, starting his first college game, solid support from Don McAuliffe and Billy Wells on offense, and such stal warts as ends Ed Luke and Don Dohoney, tackle Jake Morgan, and linebacker Ed Timmerman on defense, turned the tide. It was the third straight win for State over the Wolverines. Oregon State scared the daylights out of the Spartans at Portland, Ore., before bowing 17-14 on a field goal by Gene Lekenta on the last play of the game. Some personnel changes seemed needed after the Oregon State close call and Biggie made them the following week. Chief among them were the shifts from offense to defense of senior linemen Dick Tamburo and Frank Kush. 8 . . . . T HE R E C O RD in the From that point on the Spartans rolled, defeating Texas A. and M. 48-6, Syra cuse 48-7, and Penn State 34-7. Only Purdue made it a contest. A rugged defense put down the fired-up Boiler makers. Late fourth quarter Purdue marched from its own 20 to the Spartan nine. Deep in their own terri tory, and without time to score again if Purdue put across the game-tying tally, the defensive unit put forth its key effort. With second down, goal to go, line backer Doug Weaver intercepted a Purdue pass to snuff out final offensive threat. the Boilermakers' A Look at Winter Sports Although football still holds the major interest, Michigan State's heavy winter sports program take shape, with several squads already en gaged in workouts.
