It is known as the "Cap and Gown" series and combines the best talents of Michigan State faculty and students into a series of programs of entertainment for Michigan communities which don't normally have a concert-lecture series of their own. Under the direction of Assistant Alumni Director John McGoff, '50, the series will present a play by M.S.C. thespians, concerts by the A Cappella Choir and Concert Band, and a choice of one of five experienced faculty travel lecturers. This fall, three Michigan communities have selected the series: Grand Haven, Greenville (one night performances for each of the three programs), and the communities of Kaleva, Bretheran and Onekema the play, "Gramercy Ghost" slated for two nights). (joint sponsorship with Purpose of the series, says McGoff, is to bring the best campus entertain ment to Michigan communities which otherwise do not have regular civic enter tainment series. McGoff adds in this, the first year of the series, only four communities were scheduled to re ceive the programs. "Dependent upon its success initially, the series will be broadened to include more communities in the years to come." that "France Today," CAMPUS TALENT: Reading d o w n- and Walter Abell, "Rural Life in French Canada"; Don Buell, director of "Gramercy Ghost"; Constantine J.

Bids to be Taken Soon Bids will be taken shortly on the original plans, but the actual contracts will be minus as many of these "altern atives" as necessary to get under the $4,000,000 figure. Although the amount of money desig nated by the Legislature is far below the College's request of $5,437,343, Mc Donel says the College has no choice but to live within the budget and build a $4,000,000 library. This action has been approved by the State Board of Agriculture. McDonel says the Board wants to secure library the largest amount of space for the number of dollars avail able while building a complete and useful building throughout. Since competition.

Harden, dean of the Continuing Educa tion Service and new faculty representa tive to the Western Conference. Good Will Missions The Continuing Education Service is a large administrative order in itself, but it has been the Big Ten work which has kept the ener getic Dr. Harden moving like a cat on a hot griddle. His major ac tivity far thus has been a series of good will mis sions around the circuit to virtual ly every Big Ten school, a nd a number of con- f e r e n c es with Commissioner Kenneth L. (Tug) Wilson and his assistant, William Reed, relative to State's probationary status. Concerning to the other campuses, Dr. Harden says: "My main object has been to get acquainted with trips the Korean Service Deaths The recent addition of four names brings Michigan State's Korean War honor roll to a total of 25. Harold Stod dard Wilson, '40, lieutenant commander in the U.S. Naval Reserve, was killed Nov. 27, 1951, in a training accident near Point Loma, Cal. Previously reported missing in action were Daniel J. Eames, w'53, Lt. Baldwin Ronald Carr, '50, and Major Helge E. Pearson, '40. It has been established that AMM 3/c Eames, missing on a navy patrol bomber flight near Puerto Rico last March 22, was killed as of that date. Lt. Carr, who was captured by the Communists in Korea in April 1951, is reported following August while a prisoner-of-war. Major Pearson, first reported missing Dec. 1, 1950, and later heard from in a prison camp, is reported "on an unverified list of prisoner-of-war dead," according to word received by Mrs. Pearson, the for mer Evadell Watkins, w'41. to have died the and representatives faculty athletic directors at the other schools, find out something about how they handle athletic problems, and assure them of our friend ship and continued desire to do whatever is expected of every member of the Big Ten." Friendly Reception He reports finding a friendly recep tion, and an attitude of cooperation and frankness which are "very gratifying." The same applies, he says, to initial con tacts with Wilson and Reed. Later on, Dr. Harden reports, he plans to visit as many Michigan State alumni groups as possible in an extension of his "get acquainted" program. While on these rounds he will attempt to answer questions on Spartan sports matters and acquaint alumni generally with Big Ten athletic policies. This part of Dr. Harden's work he anticipates will come in the fall and winter seasons. Scientist Paces Floor Waiting for Mushrooms Horticulture Professor Eugene H. Lucas paced the floor eagerly one day last August awaiting an air shipment of mushrooms from Germany. Cause of his impatience was the fact that the mushrooms contained a chemical substance which he has found inhibits the growth of malignant tumors. Because the mushrooms don't grow in the U.S., Dr. Lucas ordered them to transplant and make them more readily available here. the mushrooms here Dr. Lucas will extract certain tissues from the living mushrooms and trans plant them to a culture dish. In this artificial medium, the tissue is expected to grow and produce the tumor-inhibiting chemical. Getting from Germany entailed some doing. Cooperat ing in the venture were the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Customs Office, plant quarantine bureau of the U.S. Depart ment of Agriculture, European and American scientists and the postal au thorities between Massachusetts and the Lansing airport.

S M I T H, Editorial WKAR-TV To Be On The Air in Early January WKAR-TV, the television station of Michigan State College, is to begin trans mission of scheduled programs early in 1954, college officials have announced. The station will operate on ultra-high frequency channel 60 with an approx imate fringe-area reception of 65 miles, to Dr. Armand L. Hunter, according director of M.S.C. television development. 1000-foot Tower About three months will be required for erection of the 1,000-foot transmitter tower, on top of which will be placed a 34-foot television antenna, Dr. Hunter says. This compares in height with the Chrysler Building in New York City. Following construction of the trans mitter facilities and installation of equip ment, the station's test pattern is sched uled to go on the air in November or December. WKAR-TV's "visual power" will be 243 kilowatts and "aural power" 122 kilowatts, says Dr. Hunter. Completion of the tower and the open ing of scheduled programs the first of the year marks the end of three years of preparation for TV at Michigan State. Began in 1951 First murmurings of the new media on campus were in the summer of 1951 when the college scheduled its first Tele vision Workshop. In this first year a studio was constructed on the fifth floor of the Electrical Engineering building, and two camera chains and a control installed for experimental room were purposes. During this time cables were also extended the Natural Science and Auditorium buildings for televising on a closed circuit. to its The station conducted first TV program away from the studio in Janu ary, 1952, when it televised the opening Farmers' Week ceremony from the stage of the Auditorium. Kinescope Film Programs Other such programs followed, and in April, 1952, the kinescope recorder was installed allowing programs to be filmed and sent to commercial stations for pub lic service use. The station's new mobile unit—a com plete TV studio on wheels—was given to M.S.C. in October, 1952, by the Fred P. Warren Foundation of Three Oaks, Mich. That same month the college received its construction permit to build the tower, and install the transmitter and antenna. This, in capsule form, is how television has progressed at Michigan State College in the past three years. Unlike com mercial networks which jump from coast to coast their daily programming, M.S.C.'s station will be unique in that nearly all programs will originate from the campus studio. in 4 . . . . T HE R E C O RD Dean Potter of Purdue Named MSC Consultant Dr. A. A. Potter, retiring Dean of Engineering at Purdue University, has been appointed consultant to President Hannah in charge of the School of Engi neering, on the retirement of Dean Lorin G. Miller. One of the na tion's outstanding engineering edu cators, Dr. Potter was dean of Pur due's Engineering School from 1920 to 1953. A grad uate of Massa chusetts Institute of Technology, he holds six honor ary d o c t o r a t es from leading U.S. universities. Potter Commenting on the appointment, Pres. Hannah said, "We are fortunate indeed to have the benefit of the advice and counsel of a man of Dean Potter's ex perience and professional stature. This appointment insures that the School of Engineering will have wise and strong direction while a new Dean of Engineer ing is being selected." Andrews Named to Head Communications Project Stanley Andrews, who has directed the nation's "Point Four" program for the past 16 months, is coming to Michigan State College this fall to be the executive director of the national project in agri cultural communications. Project headquartei-s will be located in Wells Hall and will operate under a $343,424 grant made by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. The program aims to assist administra tors and information workers in Land Grant Colleges, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, radio and in using mass communications media more effectively. farm publications, television stations Andrews has an outstanding rec ord as journalist and government employee.

Andrews ON THE AIR: These cameras will be sending M.S.C. TV programs to Michigan people in January, 1954 upon completion of the college's 1,000-foot tower. Course Teaches Foreign Student Slang, Customs American slang, social customs—and even the corner cafe's lunch menu—are being unscrambled for foreign students in at M.S.C. where a course is offered "English as a Foreign Language." In the past seven years, scores of students from 50 foreign nations have received "basic training" in reading the newspapers, how to use the telephone and what an American means when he says, "It's in the bag" or "What's cooking?" Three Days of Ham and Eggs Most Spartan foreign students already have received formal English schooling in their native lands, but have little or no experience with American terms and everyday conversation. for A European example, student, arrived in this country but was unable to decipher restaui'ant menus. He simply ordered, with sometimes perplexing re sults, "Bring me bread and meat." An other M.S.C. foreign student lived for his first three days in America on ham and eggs, only English food names he knew. Dr. A. T. Cordray, course director, explains that students in the classes are in two general classifications—those who are in America for schooling and plan to return to their native lands when they graduate, and students who are Displaced Persons or immigrants who want also to become American citizens. English is generally more difficult for students from Asiatic countries than for those from Europe. Because students have different problems, as much per sonal attention as possible is given by the instructors. "Our attempt is to help the foreign student adjust to the American way of doing and saying things, and to make his life more comfortable and successful in school," says Dr. Cordray. Enrollment To Be At Record High As Hotel Course Begins 26 th Year The college's hotel training program— its second oldest in the nation—begins second quarter-century of service this fall with the largest student enrollment in its history. An expected 200 Expect 200 Freshmen almost freshmen, twice the number who entered the in fall of 1952, will make up about one-half the entire body of the Divison of Hotel, Institutional and General Restaurant Management. Last year, students came from 34 states, Alaska, Puerto Rico and Canada, according to Prof. Leslie Scott, division director. As the program begins its 26th year, students will find two new courses avail able: hotel law and hotel housekeeping. Training Is in Kellogg Center Classes in hotel law will teach re institutional sponsibilities placed upon managers by state "innkeeper laws." Housekeeping students will receive train ing and perform tasks in M.S.C.'s unique Kellogg Center for Continuing Educa tion, in which the general program of hotel training is conducted. Child Data Collection Now Centered at MSC The largest collection of child develop ment data ever assembled in one place is now available for research purposes in the M.S.C. School of Education. Material available includes the "Har vard Growth Data," according to Dr. C. V. Millard, head of the Department of Secondary Education and director of the Child Development Laboratory. The Harvard data, obtained for a five- year period, contains complete files on 1,553 children, in some cases covering a span of 17 years of observation. Total material in the Child Develop ment Laboratory includes thousands of case histories of school children—giving such information as weight and health development, "mental age" reports, so cial status, attendance and recorded in terviews—covering years of study of children from all walks of life. The laboratory files are available as sources for advanced work toward the master's and doctor's degrees, as well as for staff research, Dr. Millard says. The material can be used, he explains, such to study and obtain as an over-all view of a child's physical and mental development, the child's re action to different factors and conditions, or to determine the usefulness of various examinations and tests. information HOME OF HOTEL STUDY: Kellogg Center for Continuing Education is the home of M.S.C.'s hotel training program which is beginning its second quarter- century of service. MSC Officials Seek Theme for Centennial Officials of Michigan State College's Centennial program are searching for an appropriate slogan or theme for the 1955 observance. Centennial Director Alvie L. Smith said the Centennial Committee is looking for a slogan which will appeal not only to the educational world but also to the general public; one which will reflect our unique historical heritage but focus attention on Michigan State's status as one of America's great universities. Suggested Slogans Some of the themes which have been suggested are: "Progress through educa through tion," "A Century of Service Education and Research," "Building a Better America through Education and Research," and "The Urge to Know Created a Chance to Grow," "Leadership in Education," "A Century of Education for Freedom and Responsibility." Suggestions from Spartan alumni will be welcomed and should be directed to Smith at 109 Agricultural Hall, M.S.C. It is hoped that a final selection of theme can be made by November 1. Fellowship Winners Dr. Gene D. Overstreet, instructor of political science, has been awarded a Ford Foundation Fellowship for research in South Asia. Fulbright scholarships have gone to Dr. George A. Petrides, associate professor of fisheries and wild life; and Dr. William H. Knowles, assist ant professor of economics. Dr. Petrides will conduct research in animal industry in Kenya, Africa, while Dr. Knowles will study the West Indies labor movement. These are among this year's improve ments in the program begun in 1928 when 22 students first enrolled. Today, 600 of the 800 who have graduated from the program in the past 25 years are actively engaged in hotel or allied businesses. Fourth Largest Industry Graduates of the program, Scott says, hold positions as managers of hotels, clubs, hospitals, restaurants, industrial services and military post ex food changes. Since its completion in October, 1951, the $2,000,000 Kellogg Center has been an on-the-job training ground for those preparing to enter the nation's fourth largest restaurant work. industry—hotel and Tired, Rundown?

Staff Changes A resignation and an appointment, the Alumni this summer both in connection with RECORD, were approved by the State Board of Agriculture. The resignation is that of John C. Leonard, '48, editor of The RECORD, and All-College Publications Editor the Department of Information Services. He is resigning his position to join the edu cational section of General Motors Corp. in Detroit. relations in Serving as interim editor of The REC ORD until a new editor is appointed will be A. Westley Rowland who will become editor of the news bureau Jan. 1, 1954. He will succeed Alvie L. Smith who will time devote full to directing the college's Centen- n i a 1 program. Rowland, who has been director of publicity and head of the department of speech at Alma College, Alma, Mich., for the past 11 years, was appointed to the Department Services Aug. 1. He holds his M.A. from the Uni versity of Michigan, and is completing the Ed. D. degree at Michigan State.

The football schedule will open in East Lansing when the Spartans clash with Texas Christian University on Oct. 10, and homecoming will be Oct. 17 when the Indiana University Hoosiers play the Spartans of Michigan State. Gifts and Grants Twenty-nine gifts and grants totalling $85,413.85 were accepted for the college in July by the State Board of Agricul ture, governing body of M.S.C. Included were 10 major grants ranging from $2,500 to $16,000. Largest of these was $16,000 from the Oldsmobile division of General Motors Corp. of Lansing to cover the M.S.C. band to the Minnesota and Ohio State football games during the 1953 season. A continuation of the agreement with the Michigan Certified Hybrid Seed Corn the cost of sending Student Affairs The changes that take place on the the summer Spartan campus between session and fall term are usually por- tentious, and first among them occurs in the college population. This summer students numbered 3,882 while the fall, enrollment is expected to be more than 15,000 when students register Sept. 21-25, according to Robert S. Linton, the college registrar. The increase (approxi mately eight per cent over 1952) is due to an anticipated 10 per cent boost in freshman enrollment and a larger sopho more class. in New courses, live television (see page 4, col. 1), new men's housing and a full program of extra-curricular activities will be awaiting new and returning Spar tan students this fall. Housing for single men and women will be ample, but a slight shortage of mar is anticipated. The new ried housing single men's housing unit, Butterfield dormitory, will be finished in time for fall term and will house 670 students.

Two two-year terminal courses in the School of Engineering, building construc tion and engineering drawing, will also be offered for the first time this fall. The college's new TV station, WKAR- TV, expects to have the installation of its transmitter and tower completed in in November and be on the air early 1954. At the present time WKAR-TV is filming an average of two recorded shows a day. This fall 10 courses will be offered in the television production and engineering area for the increase of stu dents expected to enroll in the new field. 6 . . . . T HE R E C O RD GOING L P: Construction of the first of three married student apartments on the site of trailer village is expected to be completed by the first of fall term, accord ing to Emery Foster, director of the college's Dormitory and Food Services. Reserva tions for the apartments are being taken now, says Foster. The buildings now under construction are a pilot study to determine the practicability of a married student housing project. If they prove successful the college eventually expects to construct 14 such buildings containing 168 apartments. In the pilot study, 24 of the apartments will be furnished and 12 unfurnished, Foster says. Leonard, a member of the Information Services staff since Jan. 1, 1949, was named Editor of All-College Publications in April 1950 after serving as assistant news editor for a year. He has been editor of The RECORD since July 1, 1952. A Faculty Affair About three years ago, 33 faculty fam ilies living in the faculty village area of married housing came up with a method of beating high priced baby sitters. it Their this: why not have idea was a faculty sitting league made up of families in the area, and we'll baby sit for each other? So they put into action, and here is the way it works: The Smiths need a baby sitter from 8 p.m. to 12 midnight. They call the sitting league secretary, who in turn calls the Jones family who happen to have a num ber of minus hours against themselves as the result of a lot of socializing lately. The Jones agree to sit and thus chalk up four plus hours on the ledger for them selves. league member league The secretaryship of the league goes to member each from month. Says secretary, Mrs. Richard B. Warren, wife of an assistant professor of animal husbandry, "It works the beautifully. We think most wonderfully ever formed by faculty folk at the college. Economically, for example, I've recorded 410 sitting hours for league members in the past the average teen-age baby sitter's price this repre sents $143.50 saved by the families who have used the service. two weeks. At organizations it's one of Biggest headache for the league secre tary is the holiday sitter request. "But it's quite understandable," says Mrs. Warren. "Faculty folk all celebrate New Year's Eve, too." National Recognition Two top awards were received this summer by the college's Department of Information Services in national com petition sponsored by the American Col lege Public Relations Association. The department was awarded first place for its program of public relations achieved through the press, and second place for its sports project for improved public relations. The department previously had re ceived first place for its press relations program in 1951 and 1952 and had re ceived second place in 1950. More than 900 colleges and universities in America are members of the ACPRA. A large percentage of these compete each year for the national awards. The first-place entry presented the department's novel program of providing photographs of M.S.C. students and their SITTER SERVICE: Mrs. Richard B.

The sports entry described a television film produced by the department to in troduce Michigan State and its football team to audiences in cities where out- of-town football games are played by the Spartans. Faculty Affairs Michigan State faculty members made more than their share of headlines this summer with the publication of new books, receipt of fellowships and schol arships, and appointments. Following is a run-down of their accomplishments: Books: National prominence has come to the author of a new book which traces the world's conservative thinking from Burke to Santayana. The author is Dr. Russell Kirk, '40, assistant professor of history of civilization. His book, "The Consevative mind," is being hailed by American landmark." reviewers as "a Both Fortune and Time magazines have devoted sections to the work which was three years the writing while Dr. Kirk was studying for his doctor of literature degree at St. Andrew's Uni versity in Scotland. in A study of Communism by Carroll Hawkins, associate professor of political science, has won a citation from the California department of Amvets. The 76-page booklet entitled "Communism: Challange to Americans," was published by M.S.C.'s Governmental Research Bureau. Two staff members are co-authors of a recently-published book entitled "Guidance Services in the Elementary School." They are Dr. Raymond N. Hatch, head of the Department of Guid ance and Counseling Training, and Dr. Paul L. Dressel, head of the Board of Examiners and director of the Student Counseling Center. Two other members of the School of Education have also published a textbook designed for begin ning students in elementary education, "An Introduction to Elementary Educa tion," by C. V. Millard and Albert J. Huggett. Frank H. Mossman, associate profes sor of transportation, has co-authored a nation-wide award winner. With Prof. Newton Morton of Kent (Ohio) Univer sity, he wrote "The Traffic Manager and National Transportation Policy" which received third prize in a national contest of the New York Railroad club. Dr. Harold Sponberg, assistant director of the M.S.C. Placement Bureau, has re signed to accept the executive director ship of the National 4-H Club Builders' Council. Dr. Sponberg came to Michigan State in 1946 as an assistant professor in the Department of Written and Spoken English (Communication Skills), was later assistant counselor of men and assistant dean of students. He received his doctorate from M.S.C. in 1952. Centennial Stamps A bill to authorize the issuance of a special series of stamps commemorative of the 100th anniversary of the found ing of Michigan State College has been introduced in Congress by Senator Homer Ferguson (R-Mich.). With it also went a joint resolution authorizing the recognition of the 100th anniversary of the founding of M.S.C, the first agricultural college in the United states, and providing for the representa tion of the Government and people of the United States in the observance of the anniversary. The bill, introduced by Sen. Ferguson to June 8, has been received, referred the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service, and printed in the Congressional Record. . that the Postmaster General In part, the bill reads: "Be it enacted . is . authorized . .. to issue a special series of 3-cent postage stamps in com memoration of the 100th anniversary . . . the of Michigan State College model for the land-grant college system." . . .

He had been a member of the Michigan State College staff since 1946. S E P T EM B ER 1 5, 1 9 53 . . . . 7 Press Box Report on SPARTAN SPORTS By FRED STABLEY and TED EMERY The Football Outlook Michigan State may be starting Big Ten football competition a year too late. Without meaning to sing the blues ex cessively — for another good is almost a certainty this fall — it must be there are definite har reported bingers of a letdown after two great undefeated seasons in a row. team that from a national championship. For one thing, a letdown is almost inevitable after 24 consecutive victories For and another, full Big Ten play is a very rough road, so rough that only rarely through do even the best teams come unscathed. The shift the two- platoon system won't help matters either, especially in view of the fact that almost all the backs counted upon for important service are of the light, fast variety. These rapid runts were offensive gems in the two-platoon plan, but they have yet to prove themselves as college calibre defensive players. The same for the small, quick offensive linemen on whom Munn doted. Finally, 21 letterman from last year's national championship team, including 14 first stringers, are gone either through expiration of eligibility or for other reasons. The best armchair estimate of the Spartans' 1953 potential seems to be that the team will be a capable one, probably below the quality of last year's combine, but boasting a number of standout stars who could mean the difference between a good and an outstanding record. Biggie Munn's own thought concerning the coming campaign is simply: "The national champions have graduated. We won the title in 1952, but this is 1953." The schedule is rough. No Big Ten schedule is easy, and State's inaugural one is no exception. Each of the six loop foes can be counted on to make it a personal crusade to show the baby mem ber the facts of life, especially since it enters their circle not humbly but as the reigning national champion. Any one of the nine foes—Iowa, Min nesota, Texas Christian, Indiana, Purdue, Oregon State, Ohio State, Michigan and Marquette—could take the measure of the Spartans, and several of them prob ably will. Without intent to slight any that is the surest way to ask foe—for 8 . . . . T HE R E C O RD LOOKING BIG TENWARD: This is Michigan State's starting backfield this fall: Billy Wells (14), right half; Tom Yewcic (41), quarterback; Evan Slonac (33), fullback; and LeRoy Bolden (39), left half. for a whipping—it still might be pointed out that the two most crucial points of the schedule are the opening pair of games against Iowa and Minnesota away from home, and the climactic November tests on successive Saturdays with Ohio State and Michigan. On the first two ride State's hope of getting off to a good start in Big Ten play, and on the last two possibly will hinge State's title chances. The most critical problem for Spartan coaches going into spring practice was that of re-evaluating every player on the team, seniors through sophomores, by a set of standards not used in several years. Former offensive specialists were asked to prove their defensive abilities, and vice versa. Hence LeRoy Bolden, Billy Wells, Evan Slonac, Jim Neal, Fer ris Hallmark, Bob Breniff and others spent most of their time practicing de fensive chores. On the other hand, former defensive stalwarts like Jim Ellis, Capt. Don Dohoney, Bill Quinlan, Hank Bul- lough and Bert Zagers were given a large this work the dose of offense. From coaches made some preliminary judg ments, but it is still literally true—and will be until one or more games have been played—that isn't a com pletely "proven" player on the team. there Among the happiest developments of spring training were the fine offensive showings of Ellis, Earl Morrall, Dohoney and one or two others, and the good conversion to defensive play of Bolden, Wells, Slonac and such light linemen as Ferris Hallmark. Ellis won the "most outstanding" award in the spring intra- squad game, while Hallmark was named the most improved player, generally con sidered to be the top citation of the spring the highly-touted Muskegon, Mich, sopho team more, quarterbacked in an upset 26-0 win over the "green" team in the spring game. training period. Morrall, the "white" On the debit side were an unusual run of injuries—about 20, which may or may not fulfill prophesies of greater hazards to players under the one-platoon-type play. Also alarming were the unusual amount of fumbles, sloppy ball hand ling, pass interceptions and other evi dences of low-calibre performances. More than a dozen newcomers are given some chance of making the varsity grade. To go far out on a limb, it would appear that the very best chances of making good quickly belong to these men: Ends Carl Diener, Saginaw, and John Lewis, Fremont, Ohio; Guard Buck Nystrom, Marquette, Mich.; Quarterback Earl Morrall, Muskegon, and left half back Jerry Planutis, West Hazelton, Pa. When talking of sophomore prospects, it must be remembered that two bore the varsity stamp last fall while still freshmen, because of the relaxation of the freshman rule for a year. They are Bill Quinlin, a letterwinner at end; and Jerry Musetti, a fullback who saw some service but didn't letter. The same system, now generally called the "Munn system", will be used as in past years. It is an off-shoot of the Michigan single wing system but has attained an identity of its own because of the various embellishments given it by Munn. Basketball Schedule A 22-game varsity basketball schedule for 1953-54, including the first trip to the Pacific Coast in Spartan cage history has been announced by Michigan State athletic director Ralph H. Young. The trip to California falls during the Christmas recess and involves games in Los Angeles on successive nights with Southern California and U.C.L.A. En route home the cagers will open their Big Ten season against Iowa at Iowa City and then double back for a game the following night against Kansas State at Manhattan, Kan. The trip will last a week. The slate lists 14 conference tests, in cluding two each against Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana and Northwestern, and one each with Illinois, Purdue, Min nesota and Ohio State. The Science of Golf A Michigan State golfer-physicist has subjected the ancient Scottish game to scientific inquiry and has come up with a new explanation of what happens when a golfer attacks the round pock-marked pellet. Research on the subject, both in the laboratory and on the golf course, has been conducted by Dr. Thomas H. Os good, dean of the School of Graduate Studies at Michigan State. Dr. Osgood is a physicist by profession and in his younger days in Scotland was a golfer of inter national reputa t i o n. Now 5 3, Dr. Osgood still shoots in the low 70's. The the first step in scientific s t u dy of golf, says Dr. Osgood, is to separate the in ternal or personal ballistics from the external ballistics. Osgood "Science has no explanation of why a golfer looks up at the wrong time or why he hooks or slices," he says. "These are phases of internal ballistics and in the province of the golf pro." to External Ballistics But science can determine what hap pens to a golf club just before it hits a ball and what happens the ball after it is hit, the M.S.C. physicist says. "A golf ball is propelled forward by the velocity imparted to it by a club head and is kept aloft by under rotation or backspin," he explains. "This back- spin produces a cushion of air, which gives the ball lift. As long as it spins with sufficient speed, it will keep rising, and when this stops, it falls." A ball hit by a wooden club, with a flat face, spins about 2,000 revolutions iron a minute. One struck with an club, with a sharply slanted face, spins 6,000 to 8,000 revolutions a minute. Production of Backspin "The happy combination for a good tee shot is high velocity and a maximum of backspin," Dr. Osgood says. "To pro duce this backspin, the club head must travel downward through the center of the ball, and it is here that the average golfer has trouble. "That's because he thinks he has to lift the ball up, and this causes him to pull his swing. Actually, the uplift is provided by the spin, and the spin by hitting down and through." The maximum velocity of an expert golfer's club head is reached at a point about six inches from the ball, Dr. Os good says. The average golfer's maxi mum velocity and a half feet away. is produced about two Putting has special problems, too. "Some golfers stroke a putt high, and some strike the ball low and crisply. A ball struck high can only roll forward, it down more and quickly and it wobbles on its axis. It is affected by both transitional and ro tational motion," golfer-physicist explains. the friction slows the Ticket Sales Season football to M.S.C. tickets for the 1953 campaign hit an all-time high this year with a sale totaling approximately 15,000, according ticket manager Warren Burtt. The exact total is still being compiled at this writing as season ticket sales ended only on Aug. 1. and the process to complete. several weeks takes "A ball hit low and crisply will skip or slide forward without initial spinning. It has greater initial speed and can better pass over the rough places in the green. It is affected only by transitional motion." Appointments fine-hitting Two new Spartan assistants have been named at Michigan State by Director of athletics Ralph H. Young. Frank E. Pellerin, a in- fielder and three-letter winner in baseball at Michigan State in the 1941-43 period, has been signed as assistant to varsity coach John Kobs. Pellerin succeeds Dick Massuch. He comes to the Spartans after a highly successful career as baseball coach at Highland Park high school. Robert Devaney, for seven years head football coach at Alpena high school, has joined the staff of Coach Biggie Munn as an assistant football coach and scout. While at Alpena, Devaney compiled an excellent record of 52 wins and but 9 losses in seven campaigns. He is an Alma College graduate. Pellerin is married and has one son, five years of age. Devaney is also mar ried and has two children, a boy 11 years and a girl, eight years old. The new total exceeds the record num ber of 11,242 set in 1952. In 1947, the first year of football under Biggie Munn, Spartan season ticket sales totaled only 2,468. Michigan State's meeting with Michi gan, scheduled for Nov. 14 at East Lan sing, was the first complete sell-out of the 1953 season announced by the ticket office. Burtt and his staff have been busy the the past few weeks mailing back fans many refunds to the unfortunate list, who put this game first on their but the NCAA announcement that the game would be televised has helped ease the pressure. Indiana, set for an Oct. 17 meeting with the Spartans to celebrate Michigan State's homecoming, is running second to Michi gan in game appeal. Already the home coming game sales are 80 per cent higher than a year ago at this time, when Penn State was the opponent—a game that eventually drew a sellout crowd. Part of the reason for the rapid demand is the fact the Hoosiers will be the first official home Big Ten game for Michigan State. the encounter with that The meeting with Ohio State, Nov. 7 at Columbus is the top drawing card on the road for the Spartans. TRAVELING BAND: Sponsorship by the Oldsmobile Division of General Motors will permit Michigan State's 130-piece marching band to appear at two away games this fall. The band, directed by Leonard Falcone, will travel to the Minnesota-M.S.C. game at Minneapolis Oct. 3, and to the Ohio State-Spartan game at Columbus Nov. 7 (see Gifts and Grants, page 6).

The alumnae club schol first arship committee announced recipient of the award to be Miss Harriet Vossen of Grand Rapids. Miss Vossen enrolled at Michigan State for the fall quarter. the Awardees are selected for scholarship, character and need. "It is hoped that we will be able to expand our program sometime in the future to include more worthy students from the Kent County area," stated Mrs. Kemppainen. Picnic Season Many alumni clubs around the state and nation have been busy this summer with family picnics. Clubs in Branch, Dickinson, St. Clair, Mecosta-Osceola and Newaygo counties, as well as out-of-state clubs in Columbus, Ohio and Memphis, Tenn. held outdoor activities. Election In early July the Newaygo County Alumni Club held its annual election of officers. Elected were: Lou Beem, '42, president; Walter Wisner, '33, vice-presi dent; and Clare Musgrove, '49, secretary- treasurer. Out-of-State Clubs The Michigan State Alumni Club of Minneapolis, Minn., growing daily since its revival, is making big plans for the week-end of Oct. 3 when the Spartan football team meets the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. The club has arranged for a 150-seat block at the game and is planning a pre- game party at Minneapolis' Curtis Hotel the evening of Oct. 2. Members of the Spartan coaching staff will be present to show movies of the Iowa-M.S.C. game, to be played the previous week-end. New York City alumni of Michigan State met during the summer months. Overall alumni activities and possibili ties for fall get-togethers were discussed. 10 . . . .

Arnold Spellun, '52, was designated as the Alumni Club official delegate to to be held at Presidents' Workshop M.S.C. in the fall. George Stewart, '48, a newcomer to New York, talked on the activities of the Dearborn, Mich., club with which he was formerly associated. Mrs. Jason Hammond also gave a short talk on her life as the wife of a patriarch graduate, Jason Hammond, '86. She told of the changes that she and her husband have observed at M.S.C. Texas alumni met in early June to elect new officers. Carl Moore, '39, and Hope Campbell, '42, were reelected presi dent and secretary respectively. Mrs. James K. Lyons was elected the new vice-president and Grady Calvert, '32, the new treasurer. Bill Gaynier, '43, was chosen program chairman for the coming year. In Aug ust the club held a family picnic at the Park City Lions Club Benefit Camp near Grapevine, Texas, Nov. 14 is the date set for the club's steak fry which will be held following the televised M.S.C.-Uni- versity of Michigan football game. A basket picnic was held by the M.S.C. Alumni Club of the State of Washington at Ipsut Creek camping grounds in Mt. Ranier National Forest in late June with 95 members in attendance. "In spite of inclement weather for almost a week, including our picnic day, we were happy over the turn-out. Every one had a good time," reports club presi dent Russell Breining, '31. At the picnic a committee was ap pointed to plan for a social function and TV get-together to view the Spartan-U. of M. game Nov. 14. At a late June meeting, Southern Cal the ifornia alumni elected officers for coming year. Approximately 80 members were present to hear M.S.C. Librarian Jackson Towne speak on the "Changing Michigan State College campus." Elected to office were: Larry Hardy, '43, president; Mary Nell Lewis, '50, vice- president; Bob Mummey, '38, secretary; and Frank Stanlow, '50, treasurer. In the deep south, Atlanta, Ga. alumni gathered for a summer outing which was held at Chastain Memorial Park. The club elected the following to office for the coming year: Mrs. William A. Terry, '51, president; H. Boyer Marx, '26, vice-presi dent; and Mrs. Harry F. Steele, '46, sec retary-treasurer. Up-Coming Events Metallurgy alumni of Michigan State attending the National Metals Exposition in Cleveland. Ohio, Oct. 21 will meet for a to luncheon get-together, according Prof. Robert L. Sweet of M.S.C.'s Depart ment of Metallurgical Engineering. In addition to getting acquainted, the group will have an opportunity to see the campus film, "The Widening Circle." At present, 29 alumni are planning to attend the luncheon, and others desiring to attend should contact Prof. Sweet, % the Department of Metallurgical Engi neering, M.S.C, East Lansing. 5|gg- FOR FUND USE: Central Michigan Alumni Club members gave to the M.S.C.
