Spartan  Alumnae  Makes 
A  Sueeess  of  Man's  Job 
A  female  member  of  the  Class  of  '30 
has  staged  a  full  fledged  attack  on  man's 
domain—and  succeeded. 

She  is  Dr.  Frances  Lamb,  who  for 
six  years  has  been  research  chemist 
project  leader  studying  the  physical  and 
chemical  nature  of  compounds  that  ac 
cumulate 
inside  an  automobile  engine. 
More  simply,  she's  making  a  career  of 
studying  engine  knocks. 

Addresses  Oil  Men 
Not  long  ago  Dr.  Lamb  journeyed  to 
Tulsa,  Okla.,  to  address  the  American 
Petroleum  Institute's  Refining  Division 
on  "Formation  of  Engine-Deposit  Com 
pounds  by  Solid-State  Reactions"—the 
first  woman  ever  to  address  the  group. 

She  Got  the  Job 

Dr.  Lamb  has  worked 

for  Gelatin 
the 
Products—where  90  per  cent  of 
is 
world's  vitamins  are  capsuled,  and 
currently  with 
the  Ethyl  Corporation 
where  she  works  at  application  of  instru 
mental  analysis  to  industrial  problems. 
Dr.  Lamb  invaded  this  man's  domain 
when  the  metallurgical  and  automotive 
industries  weren't 
accept 
women.  She  got  her  first  job  when  the 
Bohn  Aluminum  and  Brass  Company  of 
Detroit  asked  her  to  "teach  a  man"  to 
run  its  spectograph.  Bohn  hired  her—the 
first  woman  ever  to  work  in  its  lab.

Continuing  Education 
Expands  Services 

The  Continuing  Education  Service  last 
month  set  in  motion  a  new  expansion  of 
its  program  among  Michigan  people. 

According 

to  Dr.  Edgar  L.  Hardin, 
director,  increased  demands  by  a  con 
stantly  growing  number  of  groups  and 
organizations  throughout  the  state  have 
made  the  revised  setup  necessary. 

New  Program  Development  Area 
Russell  J.  Kleis,  who  has  been  head 
of  the  Department  of  Special  Courses  and 
Conferences  in  Continuing  Education,  is 
in  charge  of  a  new  area  of  general  pro 
gram  development.  He  was  replaced  by 
Leland  W.  Dean,  formerly  administrative 
assistant 
in  Special  Courses  and  Con 
ferences. 

Claud  Bosworth,  formerly 

in  charge 
of  program  development  in  the  Depart 
ment  of  Business  and  Industry,  assumed 
major  responsibility  for  developing  pro 
grams  in  health,  labor  and  community 
organization.  Paul  L.  Moore  is  head  of 
the  third  Continuing  Education  Depart 
ment—Business  and  Industry. 

Kleis  Will  Be  Consultant 
In  his  new  position  Kleis  will  be  con 
sultant  to  all  members  of  the  Continuing 
Education  Staff. 

With  B.S.  and  M.A.  degrees 

from 
Michigan  State,  Kleis  joined  the  college 
staff  as  an  instructor  in  short  courses 
in  1942,  and  received  his  appointment  in 
Continuing  Education 
in  1948.  Before 
coming  to  M.S.C.  he  taught  in  the  public 
schools  of  Bravo,  Wayland  and  Hamilton 
in  Michigan.  He  was  instrumental  in  de 
veloping  the  W.  K.  Kellogg  short  course 
scholarship  program  at  Michigan  State. 
in  1951. 
Prior  to  that  time  he  was  principal  of 
Brighton  high  school,  guidance  director 
of  Buchanan  high  school,  and  an  instruc 
tor  in  the  AAF  radio  school  at  Scott 
Field,  111.  He  has  the  B.A.  degree  from 
Western  Michigan  College,  and  the  M.A. 
from  Michigan  State.

Bosworth  came 

in  1948 
from  the  public  schools  of  Grand  Haven 
and  Muskegon,  where  he  had  been  direc 
tor  of  vocational  and  adult  education.  In 
Muskegon  he  was  also  principal  of  the 
technical  school.  He  earned 
the  B.S. 
degree  at  Western  Michigan  College  and 
the  M.A.  at  the  University  of  Michigan. 
The  Continuing  Education  Service, 
extends  the  college's  facilities  and  re 
sources  to  Michigan's  adult  population 
in  programs  on  the  campus  and  through 
out  the  state.  It  is  estimated  that  during 
1953  approximately  350  groups  will  use 
the  service  and 
they  will  bring 
that 
150,000  men  and  women  to  the  campus.

acting  president  of  the  college.  In  1928 
he  began  his  term  as  president 
from 
which  he  retired  in  1941. 

As  president,  his  administration  was 
marked  by  large  additions  of  valuable 
land  to  college  holdings,  and  by  his  great 
success  in  raising  legislative  appropri 
ations  for  research  in  agriculture. 

During  his  presidency,  the  entire  col 
lege  curricula  was  revised.  A  graduate 
school  was  established,  and  new  depart

management,  modern 
languages,  hotel 
management,  chemical  engineering,  geo 
logy  and  geography,  physical  education 
for  women,  police  administration,  and 
public  administration  were  added.  The 
creation  of  these  departments  and

revision  of  the  curricula  brought  official 
recognition

One  date  definitely  on  the  calendar 
was 
the  1953  J-Hop  with  Registrar 
Linton.  When  Mrs.  Lynch  told  Linton 
about  a  year  ago  of  her  intention 
to 
enroll,  he  said:  "If  you  do,  I'll  take  you 
to  the  J-Hop."  She  held  him 
to  his

When  winter  came  late  in  1951, he  was 
ready  with  an  adapter  that  would  work

in  warm  heavy  gloves.  So important  was

Mrs.  Lynch's  yearning  for  education 
dates  back  to  1901,  when  she  started

for

On  the  Way  Up 

Michigan  State  has  emerged

Bob  Devenny,  Al  Ferrari  and  Dick

A  somber  note  was  added  by  a  doctor's 
decision  that  Wesling  should  abandon  the 
sport  at  least  for  awhile  because  of  a 
heart  mal-formation  discovered  during  a 
routine  physical  examination.  He  had  no 
previous  knowledge  of  the  condition  and 
had  never  suffered  any  apparent 
ill-

It's  Raining 

"When  it  rains,  it  rains  on  both  sides 

of  a  football  field." 

In  these  words,  Biggie  Munn,  Michigan 
State's  head  football  coach,  synthesizes 
from 
his  opinion  of 
the  two-platoon  system  ordered  by  the 
NCAA  rules  committee  recently,  as 
it 
may  effect  his  own  national  champion 
ship  team. 

the  switch  away 

The  1952  Spartans,  of  course,  were  a 
strict  two-platoon  outfit,  as  were 
just 
about  all  the  ranking  major  teams.  But 
Munn's  opinion  is  that  he'll  be  able  to 
adjust  his  1953  Spartans 
the  new 
scheme  of  things  as  well  as  any  other 
team. 

to 

free 

rule 

That 

against 

there  will  have 

to  be  some 
changes  made  is  an  obvious  fact.  The 
new 
substitutions 
means  that  players  will  now  have  to  be 
judged  on  all-around  ability  and  played 
accordingly,  rather  than  on  the  basis  of 
special  talents,  such  as  passing,  extra-
point  kicking,  defensive  adeptness,  etc. 

Specifically,  it  means  that  such  offen 
sive 
stalwarts  as  Billy  Wells,  Tom 
Yewcic,  Evan  Slonac,  LeRoy  Bolden, 
Ferris  Hallmark,  Jim  Neal  and  Bob 
Breniff,  will  have  to  prove  their  ability 
to  play  defensive  ball  if  they  expect  to 
see  much  service.  Conversely,  such  de 
fensive  luminaries  as  Capt.  Don  Dohoney, 
Jim  Ellis,  Chuck  Frank 
and  Hank 
Bullough  will  be  called  upon  to  do  such 
the  ball, 
offensive  chores  as  carrying 
blocking  well,  catching  passes,  etc. 

The  opinion  of  the  coaches  themselves 
is  that  most  of  the  men  mentioned  above 
as  well  as  more  obscure  members  of  the 
team  due  back  again  next  fall  will  be 
able  to  make  the  adjustments. 

This  does  not  mean  that  Munn  and 
company  are  happy  with  the  rule  change. 
They  believe  collectively  that  the  change 
is  a  switch  backwards  to  a  by-gone  and 
out-moded  type  of  play,  and  that  it  likely 
will  result  in  a  less  efficient,  slower  type 
of  game  with  possibly 
less  spectator 
appeal. 

Most  of  all,  they  object  to  instituting 
the  rule  change  without  warning.  Biggie 
has  been  in  the  forefront  of  a  move  to 
have  the  effective  date  of  the  rule  set 
that 
to  1954.  This  would  mean 
back 
coaches  and  the  younger  players  would 
have  a  year  to  get  set  for  the  new  type 
of  play,  and  that  veteran  players  who, 
through  no  fault  of  their  own,  became 
specialists  under  the  two-platoon  system, 
would  complete 
their  competition  and 
would  not  be  penalized  through  the  sud 
den  change. 

On  Strict Merit 

One  of  the  most  popular  and  colorful 
team 
athletes  ever  to  make  a  varsity 
at  Michigan  State  is  Ted  Lennox,  totally 
blind  sophomore  wrestler  from  Detroit. 
A  young  man  with  a  sunny,  optimistic 
disposition  that  is  the  envy  of  everyone 
who  knows  him,  Lennox  also  is  an  out 
standing  student  as  well  as  a  fine  ath 
lete.  During  the  1952  fall  quarter  his 
grades  were  five  "A's"  and  two  "B's." 
Lennox  is  a  product  of  the  Michigan

in  Lansing. 

the  Blind 

He  made  the  Spartan  wrestling  team 
on  strict  merit,  and  participated  in  the 
opening  meet  this  winter  against  Pitt. 
He  was  defeated  by  a  decision  but  per 
formed  creditably. 

How  can  a  blind  boy  excell  at  wres 
tling?  Coach  Fendley  Collins  explains 
that  once  contact  is  established  with  the 
competing  wrestler,  a  blind  wrestler  has 
"eyes"  just  as  much  as  a  boy  with  20-20 
vision.  Every  force  or  pressure  betrays 
the  exact  location  of  the  opponent's  body, 
and 
these 
the  blind  wrestler  acts  on 
stimuli.

COVERING 

THE  CLUBS 

By  STARR  H.  KEESLER,  '41 

Florida Club Formed 

to 

A  relative  newcomer 

the  alumni 
club  roster  is  the  southern  Florida  group. 
Celebrating  its  first  anniversary  as  an 
organized  group,  the  club  met  for 
its 
second  annual  meeting  in  December. 

Hosting  the  organization  was  Ernest 
Graham, 
'06,  former  state  senator  and 
past  president  of  the  alumni  club.  Mr. 
Graham's  6,000-acre  farm  afforded 
the 
group  plenty  of  space  to  roam.  After 
a  luncheon  of  Florida  "delicacies,"  alumni 
witnessed  a  showing  of 
the  Michigan 
State-Syracuse  football  game,  narrated 
by  William  L.  Davidson,  '13, M.S.C.  Fund 
Director.  Mr.  Davidson  also  brought  the 
group  up-to-date  on  recent  happenings 
at  the  college. 

Alumni 

traveled  as  far  as  50  miles 
to  be  on  hand  for  this  day  of  renewing 
acquaintances  and  reminiscing  of  M.S.C. 
"way  back  when." 

At 

its  business  meeting, 

the  club 
elected  to  office  Bill  Carpenter,  '39,  presi 
dent;  Robert  Bruce,  '38,  vice-president; 
Milton  Reeder,  '47, second  vice-president; 
William  Tichenor,  '25,  secretary;  Spen 

to 

cer  Rogers,  '37,  treasurer.  Three  mem 
bers  were  elected 
the  board  of 
directors.  They  are  Ernest  Graham,  '06, 
C.  Ross  Garvey,  '12,  and  Barbara  Van 
Heulen,  '10.  Club  officers  and  members 
of  the  board  discussed  plans  for  a  spring 
meeting. 

Mid-Winter  Banquets 

Winter  banquets  were  at  the  top  of  the 
alumni  preference  list  during  the  early 
months  of  1953—and  faculty  members 
of  M.S.C.  were  "tabbed"  by  alumni  clubs 
as  their  featured  speakers. 

Forty-eight  members  of  the  St.  Clair 
County  Alumni  Club  met  at  Port  Huron 
for 
their  annual  winter  banquet.  Dr. 
Arthur  Angel,  of  the  Basic  College  was 
the  featured  speaker.  His  topic  was  one 
which  has  been  of  national  importance 
in  recent  months,  "The  St.  Lawrence 
Seaway." 

Oldest  member  present  at  the  meeting 

was  Roy  L.  Norton,  '06. 

At  Ludington,  almost  100  friends  and 
alumni  met  at  the  Stearns  Hotel  for  the 
Lake-Mason  winter  banquet. 

Willard  Tallefson, 

'34,  club  president 
'50,  assistant 
introduced  John  McGoff, 
alumni  director  who  brought 
the  club 
up-to-date  on  recent  college  happenings. 

Featured  speaker  of  the  evening  was 
Dr.  Stuart  Gallacher,  of  the  Department 
of  Foreign  Languages.  Dr.  Gallacher 
spoke  on  the  subject,  "Folklore  Wisdom 
At  Home  and  Abroad." 
Special  guests  at 

the  banquet  were 
the  parents  of  Lake-Mason  county  stu 
dents  now  attending  Michigan  State. 
Dr.  Clifford  Erickson,  Dean  of 

the 
Basic  College  spoke  to  an  enthusiastic 
audience  in  Manistee  at  a  mid-January 
meeting  of  the  Manistee  County  Alumni 
Club.  His  topic,  "The  Basic  College  Sys 
tem  at  Michigan  State,"  touched  off  a 
lively 
period. 
and 
"Alumni  are  eager  to  know  more  about 
the  Basic  College  and  its  effects  upon 
the  young  men  and  women  who  are  and 
will  be  attending  Michigan  State,"  said 
C.  G.  Chittick, 
'35,  superintendent  of 
schools  at  Onekema.

Spartan  Boosters 

Alumni  clubs  were  taking  more  inter 
est  in  M.S.C.'s  High  School  Cooperation 
program  this  winter. 

Dr.  Guy  H.  Hill,  director,  has  been 
visiting  with  alumni  groups  that  have 
undertaken  projects  to  inform  local  high 
school  students  of  the  advantages  Michi 
gan  State  has  to  offer. 

Alumni  of  Iosco  County  kept  Dr.  Hill 
busy  visiting  local  high  schools  in  Janu 
ary.  Some  300  students  had  an  oppor 
tunity  to  hear  him  on  his  whirlwind  visit 
of  the  county. 

In  a  visit  to  the  southern  part  of  the 
state,  Dr.  Hill  met  with  Washtenaw 
County  alumni  and  local  students  later 
in  the  month.  The  success  of  his  program

through  Michigan 
has  some  hints  for  hunters  who  don't 
place  much  faith  in  their  compasses. 

"During  the  recent  deer  season  I  ran 
across  about  50  groups  of  hunters  who 
said  they  were  iost.'  Most  of  them  were 
firing  their  guns  into  the  air  and  scream 
ing  at  the  top  of  their  lungs. 

How  Lost  Can  You  Get? 

Usually  they  were  about  two  or  300 
yards  from  a  road.  When  I'd  tell  them 
this,  they  wouldn't  believe  me  until  I 
showed  them,"  he  says.  Bob  says  most 
hunters  carry  a  compass  but  never  use  it. 
"Our  records  show  that  a  big  majority 
of  deer  killed  are  bagged  near  highways 
and  roads. 
indicates  hunters  won't 
go  further  into  back  woods  areas  where 
they'd  find  all  kinds  of  deer."

Harrington  graduated 

from  M.S.C. 
with  a  forestry  degree,  and  with  his

camera  has  been  playing  hide

animals 
ever  since. 

A  short  business  meeting  was  called 
by  the  club  president,  James  Foster,  '45, 
of  San  Carlos.  At  the  conclusion  of  the 
business  meeting,  over  100  alumni  and 
their  guests  viewed  a  film  showing  of 
the  1952  Michigan  State-Michigan  game. 
The  game  was  described  by  coach  Munn. 
A  picnic  has  been  planned  for  early 
spring.  Alumni  will  have  an  opportunity 
to  bring  their  families  so  that  the  classes 
of  1960  to  1973  of  Michigan  State  can 
get  acquainted.

group  up-to-date  on  recent  college  activ
