To keep pace with growing enroll ments the University is continuing to expand for its study, and living and recreation areas. faculty, its facilities its Expansion of the Music Building, Olin Memorial Hospital. Kellogg Center, and Macklin Stadium have been completed. A new four million dollar College of Education Building will be completed by Spring, 1958. Work has begun on the new Student Services Building lo cated between the Home Management House and the Natural Science Building. Construction is also under way on a new Women's Intramural Building, an -9- addition to the present Women's Gym nasium. Plans for future expansion include a new Men's Intramural Building, new classrooms on south campus, an Inter national Center near the Auditorium, a new Art Building, and additions to the Administration Building and Jenison Field House. Although Michigan State leads all other colleges and universities in this country in the number of students living in dorms and married housing, the task of providing adequate living quarters for the increased enrollment continues to be a problem. Last Fall the Brody Group of dormitories was completed, as were 312 apartment units for mar ried students. Two more married hous ing projects are under construction. As students of one of the nation's foremost universities, Spartans can take pride in the fact that Michigan State's the faculty and facilities are among best in the land.

Student representatives usually are presidents of organizations, living units. governing bodies and Faculty members often attend these meetings. which are held throughout the year. FRIENDLY CAMPUS The tradition of friendliness is a part of Michigan State. University sponsored dances, teas and parties give students an opportunity to meet new friends. But don't always depend on others to make the initial move, you must help keep up this tradition. HOMECOMING Homecoming weekend is filled with activities honoring returning alumni. Displays decorate the living units and winners are announced during half-time ceremonies at the football game.

The last MSU semi-formal dance for the seniors, it features a name band. Lantern Night, a LANTERN NIGHT traditional event honoring senior women, symbolizes the passing of responsibility from class to class, as the seniors present lighted lanterns to the underclassmen. SENIOR SWING-OUT The Senior class, led by its president. parades to the Auditorium for one of the last events before graduation. As the line moves towards the Aud, seniors who have been waiting in front of their respective schools, join the parade. -15- CAMPUS FASIDON University fa_shion emphasizes com fort tempered with good taste. For the girls, classroom wear gen involves sweaters and skirts, erally bobby socks and comfortable shoes. White blazers are a campus tradition and M.S'.U. women find knee sox prac tical. About the only departure from usual campus attire is that, for some im practical reason or other, girls at Mich igan State don't carry purses, preferring transport wallets, combs, instead to cigarettes, hankies, lipstick, powder puffs, ad infinitum, in their pockets and notebooks. Date wear is along the same order. Heels and hose are reserved for the Lecture-Concert Series special for occasions, and hats are saved church and a very few other special occasions. and Saturday finds Michigan State coeds variously attired in Levis, jeans, bur mudas and pedal pushers. Levis and jeans are great for canoeing, but they are frowned upon in the classroom and the Union. Formal and semi-formal wear at MSU means formal or cocktail dresses while informal requests usually more casual wear, depending upon time or occasion. the Fashions for the men do not require too much elaboration. Suffice to say that you might as well leave your electric blue, one-button roll, drape suits at home. The "DA" haircut likewise has a way of drawing laughs from the crowd; at the same time an ordinary haircut now and then is considered appropriate. If you've waited for publication of the Helot before you bought any off-to college clothes, conservative fashions are recommended. This doesn't mean you must look like a fugitive from the Ivy League - there is a certain amount of radicalism even in ultra-conservative but the so-called Eastern clothing - the style is rapidly becoming thing. For kicking around campus - to classes and on the most casual of dates - sun tans have become popular, but slacks still are the common thing too. to straight-laced dress will be pleased to know that the tuxedo is as formal a get up as you will ever ha.ve to wear, and then only special occasions marked on formal. Semi-formal means suits, and casual or informal means suits or sport coats. Those who object those -16- COURTESY In keeping with the ~ichigan State tradition of friendliness is the correlated tradition of courtesy. The essence of courtesy, contrary to some schools of opinion, is not merely a matter of conforming to a few dozen social conventions, but is to be found in the area of genuine interest in and respect for the rights and privileges of other people. What it all adds up to is something like this: You're not considered espe cially fashionable when you show up for your date half an hour late or when you come straggling into your 8:00 class at 9:45. Neither is it sharp to have the hi fi turned up full volume when the rest of the students in your to eke out a C precinct are average. And you're not exactly the ccolest man on campus when you sit on the Union steps oggling the girls passing by. trying Courtesy is largely a matter of mature conduct as well. No one likes a loud mouth and few enjoy the company of the "wise guy" except perhaps as a refreshing change from the "big deal.'' INTEGRITY Although this is a big school. and student morals can't be subject to con· slant scrutiny, it is rare indeed when a student gets away with anything as outlandish as copying his classmate's essay examination. It hardly should be necessary to re peat the admonitions a student has heard all through his earlier academic life because most students have ac cepted this good advice and will stoutly refuse the student who would rather cheat than study. to help out to This is not to say studying together is discouraged. On the contrary. most lend a students will be happy tutorial hand whenever needed. It's not only a decent thing to do, but the tutor himself benefits from the review. Green Helmet and Tower Guard make a project of tutoring free of charge. More basic problems are better solved with the aid of the Counseling Center. The point is that tutoring is best done before. not during. the examination. Another side to academic integrity comes during the class period itself. There is no better way to incur the wrath of your classmates than to apple polish on their time. If you think your instructor is naive enough to be taken in by insincere questions and remarks, approach him after class where he can set you straight without publicly em barrassing you. -17- WITHDRAWALS If for some reason you find ii neces sary to withdraw from school, you don't just up and leave. is First step to secure permission from the Men's or Women's division, Dean of Students' Office, and have this permission approved by the dean of your college. Women students also must have parental permission. Next is to present your approval slips and fee the Registration Office. After card to that, if you are leaving before mid term, you will be refunded half your course fees at the Cashier's Office. If you withdraw before the first eight weeks of a term, you receive no grades. After that, you receive an "incomplete" in courses in which you were doing satisfactory work, "Fs" in those you were failing. If called into the Armed Forces before mid-term, you get full course fee 1ofund. If you leave after mid-quarter, you receive full credit for your courses and grades received to date. DROPS AND ADDS The knows administration some classes may not look quite so important after a week as they seemed on reg istration day, and provision for drop ping them has been arranged. In the same manner, other courses may be added after registration has been com pleted. No subject may be added, however, after one week of classes, and none may be dropped after two. Exact dead line dates are included on the Union Board term calendars. ATTENDANCE Enforcement of attendance regulations the individual in- is the province of structor, and although there is some variance most are guided by the fact that MSU is not a correspondence school. You are, in short, expected to attend every class period unless you are sick. Excuses given by the Health Center in all cases entitle you to make up any missed work; other types of excuses are acceptable only at the discretion of the instructor. YOUR "ID" NUMBER In a university the size o.f Michigan State great use is made of the Indenti fication Card issued during registration. The number appearing on the I.D. card remains with you all during your stay at the University. It must be pre sented on many occasions: voting, use of Library, Lecture-Concert Series pro grams, all types of athletics (often in addition to the admission obtain waiver of slate sales taxes when buying goods on campus, registration, and so on, ad infinitum. It is a good idea to form the habit of carrying ii at all times. ticket), to ACTIVITY BOOKS tickets Your activity book is your passport to many campus activities. It is com posed of numbered pages which can be exchanged for to athletic events, Lecture-Concert Series programs and many other University functions. The book has a space for the student's name and number. Each time you re ceive a ticket, you tear out a particular page and present ii with the book itself to the ticket office. It is important to keep the book in lost book cannot be a safe place; a replaced! -18- FIGHT SONG On the banks of the Red ~edar Is a school that's known to all; Their specialty is winning, And those Spartans play good ball.

When from the scenes we wander, And the twilight shadows fade, Our mem'ry still will linger Where light and shadows played; In the ev'ning oft we'll gather And turn our thoughts to you, Sing our love for Alma Mater And thy praises, MSU -19- Registration in the auditorium; a familiar sight for Spartan students. COURSES OF STUDY BASIC COLLEGE Every student, regardless of his in tended major field of study, is enrolled in the Basic College during his freshman important and sophomore years. An feature of Michigan State's educational program, the Basic College offers its students a general educational back ground, valuable not only for its own sake, but also for the perspective it lends to more specialized endeavors. CURRICULUM The Basic College curriculum requires that each student complete each of four comprehensive "core" courses: Com munication Skills, Natural Science, So cial Science and Humanities. These courses are composed of carefully selected subject matter, and emphasis is laid upon the relationships among the contributions of each. Communication Skills, studied during the freshman year, involves concentra tion on effective use of living English, both in expression and interpretation. Writing essays, giving speeches, and critically appraising professional and student essays and speeches occupy the student in this course. Natural Science, usually studied in the freshman year, introduces the stu dent to the methods of science. General understanding and application of prin ciples common to all scienc~s are stressed, but students have the oppor tunity in the fields of chemistry, physics, geology, botany and zoology. Both lecture and laboratory sessions are included in this course. to work more particularly Social Science, usually studied in the sophomore year, is keynoted by inte gration. Instead of spending a few weeks on each of the many social sciences, students draw from all of them as they investigate three general fields of inquiry: orientation of man in his social environment, gratification of human needs and wants, and regula tions of human behavior. Humanities, also a sophomore course, studies man as a specially endowed being, capable of creative thought and action. Humanities introduces the stu dent to the studies of art, literature, philosophy and history. Basic College students also are re quired to take two years of courses in physical education, including one term of swimming, and for two years of Military or Air Science. CREDIT AND EXAMINATION the men, Credit in the Basic College may be earned by special examination as well as by enrollment and completion of a course. the head of In order to take a proficiency exam the student must first request permission from the department in charge of the course in which he hopes to obtain advance credit. If the de partment head or Dean of the Basic College judges the student to be quali fied on the basis of past performance, independent study or other evidence, he is encouraged to attempt the exam ination. He must score an A or B on the test in order to pass a course this way. For student, course grades are determined by two-hour ex aminations at the end of each term together with the instructors' evaluation of the student's class work throughout the two-hour exams, pre pared and administered by the Board of Examiners, are cumulative, including material from the past term or terms as well as the current one. the ordinary term.

A student-faculty auction at which stu dents and administration leaders are sold is held the highest bidders to spring term. Spartacade, a student carnival in which living units sponsor midway attractions, is a major source of income for Campus Chest.

An accumulation of 15 during the term requires that the girl be automatically for one weekend night "campused" within the following two weekends. The second accumulation of 15 late minutes in a term brings a complete weekend campusing (Friday, Saturday and Sun day nights) within the following two weekends. The third 15 late minutes will require a full week of campusing to begin immediately. When a girl is campused, she must remain in her room after 8 p.m. until the next morning at 5:30. She may have one recess of 15 minutes, but she may not leave the living unit during this time.

Final jurisdiction ordinarily is that of the all-University judiciary, but with permission of an Assistant to the Dean she may further appeal her case to the Dean of Students for Women. the Board which uses in person. the board to -50- LIQUOR The policy on liq~or at Michigan State is one of the most clearly defined of the lot. Whether over twenty-one or under, no student may bring any form of alcoholic beverage on the campus at any time. A State Board of Agri culture ruling provides automatic sus pension for any student violating this policy - with no exceptions. Drinking in off-campus housing is subject to exactly the same restrictions. Michigan statute prohibits open bot tles of alcoholic beverages in automo biles and minors may not transport alcoholic beverages, open or sealed, in their cars at any time regardless of who bought them. Minors, of course, are not permitted to purchase or accept alcoholic bev erages anywhere in the state. Students caught violating this law are subject not only to University action, in the likely event that state authorities report them, but to criminal prosecution as well. Students over twenty-one are subject to exactly the same campus restric:ions, but when off campus they are on their own and may drink legally. Exce'3sive drinking, however, is considered ~trictly in bad taste by both students and the University and disciplinary action is likely to follow immature lack of judg ment. EXCERPTS FROM THE STATE UQUOR LAWS 436-33 AGE OF PURCHASER Section 33. No alcoholic liquor shall be sold to any person unless he shall have attained the age of 21 years. 750-141C MINOR FALSELY REPRE SENTING AGE IN LIQUOR PURCHASE Any person under the age of 21 years who shall by documentary evi dence falsely represent himself to be 21 years of age or over ,for the purpose of purchasing or attempting to purchase any alcoholic liquor, or who shall give any such false information regarding his age to any person selling alcoholic liquor, the purpose of securing sale thereof to himself or to any person under the age of 21 years, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. 750-141A FURNISHING LIQUOR TO A MINOR for Any person who willfully gives or furnishes any alcoholic beverage to a minor (under 21) except on authority of and pursuant to a prescription of a duly licensed physician, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. AUTOMOBILES AND PARKING A complete set of the Motor Vehicle Regulations should be acquired by each student driver at registration. It is also available at the Department of Public Service headquarters. Student drivers should obtain regulations and study them carefully, since they are held responsible for all rules and pro visions which the regulations contain. these Before any student can have a car in the Michigan State area he must register it with the Department of Public Safety. Any student driver under twenty one years of age must bring a letter of consent from his parents or the registered owner of the automobile. Students must have sophomore standing before they can have a car registered on campus. Student "S" permits are issued to regular students, while special "SP" permits are given to paraplegics and graduate assistants. Parking lots are provided for all student cars south of the Red Cedar River, but "SP" permits -51- may park on North Campus in certain area.s. Fines for violations of the rules are extremely high and infractions of the regulations are considered very serious by the University. Students may appeal to the Student Traffic Appeal Court, if they feel the ticket is unjust. SOCIAL RULES The Student-Faculty Social Commitlee has established a set of rules to govern mixed social activities at Michigan State. All events involving mixed groups must be registered unless they are strictly for business purposes. Social activities and their chaperones must be registered together before 4:45 p.m. on the Tuesday of the week in which the event is scheduled to take place, at the Women's Division, Dean of Stu dents Office. All facilities and places used for social activities must be approved by the Social Committee. It is recommended that requests for facilities and sites used the area within fifteen be limited to -52- miles of the University. Two couples or one couple and a resident hostess are required to properly chaperone all social activities. There is to be no drinking of intox icating beverages at any time in stu dent residences nor during any social activity whether the activity is on the campus or off. Social activities must be terminated by 12:45 a.m . and dancing must end by 12 midnight on Saturdays. According to a Student Government ruling, there is a ban on flowers for open University social events, and they are anything but customary at smaller parties in the residences. At social activities, dates are not permitted to enter sleeping quarters ex cept in cases when such space is set aside for wraps. No permission will be given for overnight social affairs, and the committee has decided there shall be no approved social activities Mon day through Thursday. except exchange dinners, desserts, picnics and banquets, in addition to spring term senior dances. In case of any alleged violations of these and other rules, social restrictions often will be recommended by the social committee. Freshman elections ordinarily fall in the middle of fall term, and copies of the governing ordinance are available for the asking at the Student Govern ment office. ELIGIBILITY AND ELECTIONS For those who tire of studying all the time there is no shortage of extra curricular activity at Michigan State. Student Government, itself a giant em ployer of student talent, has in its files records of well over 150 campus clubs and organizations. takes over, organization's members If none of these suit you, you can always start your own. To bring a new organization into the MSU world, one simply has to submit a list of the pro posed and its constitution. From there copies of Student Government in vestigating the nature of the club and its members. If everything seems to be on the up and up, the club is granted a probationary charter for a year .. At the end of the year another careful check is made on the manners and morals of the club as Congress debates the advisability of granting a permanent charter. Once your club is going, you still must submit each year eligibility lists and officer's names to student gov ernment so they can check growth and scholastic standing. Running for office once again brings you in contact with the powers and controls of Student Government, ever watchful lest someone conduct his cam paign in anything but the most Simon pure tradition. After demonstrating your ability to maintain a C average, you may find yourself called upon to answer illegal campaigning charges. So it gen erally pays to become thoroughly ac quainted with the pretentious Student Government election ordinance, which covers nearly every conceivable facet of election procedure and eligibility. DISCIPLINARY ACTION Violation of University rules and reg ulations leads the student to answer for his action and often to penalties of varying severity, depending on the nature and seriousness of the offense. While there is no mysterious figure lurking about the campus, cloak and dagger fashion, the administration does feel that there is little excuse for stu dents failing to comply with University laws. When a student elects to enroll at Michigan State, he accepts not only the benefits but also the responsibilities, just as in joining any organization. He signs no contract, but he enters a moral agreement with the University. Administrative officials, in turn, do not feel to punish they exist merely violators, but more important to return them to and keep them on the right track. Instead of a very formal system of rigid discipline, Michigan S'tate's policy is keynoted with cooperation and mutual understanding. This is not to say students can get away with murder. The system has not degenerated into mere wishy-washy acquiescence, and penalties for viola tions of the rules can be expected by the violator. Expulsion from the University is the responsibility of the President, but for all practical purposes this measure, with its provisions for failing grades, forfeit of fees, and ineligibility to return to MSU, is not used to enforce discipline. More common is suspension, which is similar to expulsion .except in the fact -53- that here the s tudent may return to the University upon recommendation of the Dean of Students. Suspension is the most serious form of penalty, but close to it is disciplinary probation, the responsibility of the Dean of Students. While allowing the student to remain on the campus, disciplinary pro prevents h is participation in extra curricular activities, brings a notice of the action to his parents, and is re corded on h is permanent transcript record, in addition to any special pro visions which may be deemed appro priate. to remain in his room for Another responsibility of the Dean of Students is social probation which to his requires the student to report specified residence each night at a the time. remainder of the night and to secure special permission for going home on weekends. A WS Regulations govern women on social probation. Other re strictions may be added by the Dean, and unofficial probation may include any restrictions up those of dis ciplinary. to In short, students are expected to act their age . Ninety-nine percent of the students need only to be told the rules and the reasons for them and they will understand their importance, but for those who are inclined to learn the hard way this section is written. ALL UNIVERSITY STUDENT GOVERNMENT To become good citizens of the com munity, we must know as much as possible about our system of self-gov ernment and how it works. This principle, may be applied to those who already are, or who are about to become, students at Michigan State University. By becoming acquainted with State's All University Student Government, you will be able to understand more fully the functioning of student affairs. following : "We The preamble to the All University Student Government Constitution states the the students of Michigan State University, in order to form a more perfect student body; to provide for full student representation in all matters pertinent to student af fairs; to promote all things of value and of general welfare to the students and the University; and to assist in ~he the integration and coordination of activities of all student organizations; do hereby ordain and establish this constitution for the All University Stu dent Government." is The A .U.S.G. the head of an integrated system of governing bodies, three main and the Executive, Legislaitve, branches. and Judiciary.

When a bill is introduced in Student Congress, it is referred to one of the six committees by the Speaker; this is the first reading. The committee studies the bill, and gives a report either favorably and unfavorably, or with amendments the next week. This is the reading and with Congress second meeting in the Committee of the Whole, there is no limit to the debating. The third reading, is the final reading on the bill, and this whole procedure takes two weeks, with a minimum of two meetings to get the bill passed. Bills of major the campus are frequently adopted by the importance to - 56- congress. Driving regulations are al ways a problem and the congress works closely with the Traffic committee to create more agreeable driving condi tions. STUDENT TRAFFIC APPEAL COURT The Student Traffic Appeal Court meets with students who are appealing campus traffic tickets in private ses sions, and if it decides in favor of the student he is not compelled to pay the fine. The seven man tribunal is the highest court you can appeal to regard ing driving and parking violation tickets. STUDENT JUDICIARY the executive. The Judiciary Board of the A.U.S.G. decides whether enactments made by Student Congress are constitutional. This branch of the Student Government rules on the actions of the congress It hears appeals and from the men's and women's judiciaries and the election reviewing board. It also hears student disciplinary cases.

HOUSING RESIDENCE HALLS Student housing at Michigan State is designed to give you the greatest possible experience in group living, self discipline and development of good taste and social manners. As you live in University housing, you will realize that there are very few rules which restrict you, but most of the rules are designed so that you and your fellow residents may together harmon iously and efficiently. It is up to you, the resident. to make the most of the advantages which campus housing offers you. live REQUIRED RESIDENCE University housing is available for single men, single women and married students. Because dormitory life is of great value in becoming adjusted to new college experiences, all freshmen and transfer students are required to Jive in a University dormitory for their first year at school. · Exceptions to this rule are students who live at home or with close rela tives, married students and veterans of the armed forces who live in off-campus approved housing. All exceptions must be approved by the Housinq Director. and any undergraduate permitted to live off-campus must reside in approved housinq. DORMITORY ASSIGNMENTS Assignments to dormitories are made by the office of the Housing Director upon receiving from you an approval for-admission slip. Dormitory assign ments are made by the Housing Director on the basis of the date of receipt of your application. Accompanying the application must be a $25.00deposit, which will be refunded to you when you leave the dormitory, provided there are no deductions for breakage, re to placement or forfeiture for failing the University of withdrawal notify from school. CONTRACTS When you are assigned to a dormi tory you must sign a contract for the entire school year for both room and board. If you leave school, the contract is automatically terminated. If you wish to obtain a release from your contract for any other reason, you must file a written request on a form secured from your resident advisor. This request is submitted the Contract Committee whose decisions are final. There are not many reasons to warrant a release from your housing contract. MEAL TICKETS to Board and room payments fixed under the contract are not subject to refunds in case of missed meals. In establishing rates, a certain amount of absenteeism is expected and planned for. Therefore, the dormitory cannot reimburse you if you miss some meals. Likewise, if you to be away you cannot are going arrange for another person take your meals; meal tickets consequently are not transferrable. RENT PAYMENT to It is a University policy that residents pay in advance for room and board. However, because some of them would have difficulty in doing this, a payment schedule has been devised which is sent to all ne,w students and posted in the dormitories. A certain minimum amount must be paid at registration and two other installments are paid over the quarter. If a student fails to meet an installment, dining privileges may be withheld but he is still re sponsible for the full term's charges. RE-REGISTRATION During spring term, room reservations for the next year may be made. If you wish to return to the same room or to change rooms or dormitories, you should - 62- make this known to your resident ad visor or manager, wh'? will hold over your deposit for you. If you do not intend to return to campus housing the next year, you should make arrange ments for the refunding of your deposit. Living in each dormitory to advise and assist residents are a resident advisor and a resident hostess, usually a faculty member and his wife. The resident advisor's office is centrally located and always accessible for his MEN'S RESIDENCE HALLS students. Michigan State University has an extensive building program that is seU liquidating through payments out of profits. The fi;st units built were the Mason·Abbott and Snyder-Phillips dorm itories, now to women's converted dorms. Next to be built was Shaw Hall. the largest dormitory of its type in the world, and the Brody group which includes Butterfield, Bryan, Rather, Armstrong. Emmons, and Bailey. located and is centrally Brody hall furnishes dining and recreational facil ities for this group of dorms. Almost all of the rooms were designed for double occupancy. but because of increased enrollment. many rooms contain three men. latest the is Each dormitory is divided into pre cincts and there is a resident assistant for each one. The "RA" is a student. usually an upperclassman, who helps students in his precinct over any rough spots they may encounter. He also supervises organization of precinct ath- letic teams. parties. exchange dinners. other social activities, and general precinct decorum. The University furnishes rooms with beds, inner-spring mattresses, pillows. dressers, study desks, chairs. waste baskets, window drapes and, the Harrison Road dorms, lamps. Students must supply their own linen, blankets and towels. Electrical limited capacity and no one may have elec- circuits are in of - 63- trical appliances other than shavers and radios in their rooms. Radio permits are obtainable from the RA. Each occupant is given a key to his room upon checking into the hall. Lost keys should be reported to the dorm manager, who will replace them at minimum cost. Unauthorized duplication of MSU keys is subject to penalty. Room and closet space is limited and residents are encouraged to bring only seasonal attire that will be used. Trunks and foot lockers are not allowed in the rooms ; they are to be taken to the storage room and left there until time to leave. Each individual is responsible for the appearance of his own room. It should be kept presentable at all times and all items should be removed from the floor on the two days a week when the building custodian comes to vacuum. Needed repairs should be reported at once to the RA. Meals are served cafeteria style in dormitory dining centrally located rooms. Preparation of food is under close supervision of a group of trained dieticians, menus planned by a com· mittee of food supervisors. Menus and hours are posted on the dorm bulletin, but special meal hours often can be obtained from the resident hostess in case of unavoidable conflicts. Proper attire in the dining rooms is coat, dress shirt and tie for evening and Sunday noon meals, with ordinary class garb at others. Usually in late spring these rules are somewhat re laxed. Dinner guests may be taken into the dorm dining room after they have obtained a meal ticket at the switch board. Women are allowed only at cer tain times. Smoking and newspaper .reading are discouraged so as to insure a more speedy turnover in the halls as they are not large enough to seat all residents at once. room In each residence is a valet room with equipment for washing, drying and ironing clothes. There is also a lobby. mail Dormitory newspapers, magazines and recreational equipment such as foot balls, billiard cues, and so forth also may be obtained there. floor first the in The switchboard is located in the mailroom. When a call is received the student is buzzed in his room. He re turns the buzz, and answers the phone in the nearest available phone booth. Local calls within the precinct can be made by asking for an outside line and calling the dormitory back, asking for the party you want. Long distance calls, even if collect, must be made on the pay phones. Each residence hall has a grill at which students can obtain coffee, ham burgers and other snacks· as well as shaving supplies, toothpaste, cigarettes and candy. Only female guests allowed in stu dent rooms are mothers. Girls may be brought into the dorm at certain times, but must stay on the first floor. Over night guests are permitted when there is an empty bed for them. The host is responsible for his guest's conduct while -6 4- there. Smoking is permitted anywhere in the dorm unless a sign says otherwise. Certain University rules apply to resi· dence halls: no liquor is to be brought in; only campus event solicitations are allowed and then only with permission of the Dean of Students; explosives, including guns, are never to be brought into the dorms, and quiet hours estab lished therein must be observed. Each dormitory has a dorm council, composed of representatives from each. precinct, which is the legislative body of the hall and sponsor of social events. It is financed by a small dues assess from each student fall ment collect these social activities term. Some of include record dances, ex change dinners with women's groups, term parties and precinct dinners. frequent Residence halls also take part in various all-University activities, includ ing Spartacade, Water Carnival and Junior 500. An ever popular place the for more casual socializing recreation room in the basement where students may play ping pong and billiards. is Women's Residence Halls WOMEN'S RESIDENCE HALLS their endeavor to provide comfortable, con genial surroundings for Michigan State coeds, provide a chance for girls to practice group living and occupation. in Unless she lives with parents or close relatives , each girl is expected to live in University housing. There are several dormitories for undergraduate women: Mayo, Williams, Campbell, Landon, Yakeley, Gilchrist, Mason, Abbott, Snyder and Phillips. Dorm rooms usually are designed to accommodate two girls, but because of shortage, most rooms now accommodate three. Room furnishings include beds, mattresses, chests, mirrors, study desks and chairs. drapes of a neutral shade. and an easy chair. Coeds are to bring their own linen, blankets, pillows, towels, dresser scarfs and study lamps. Coeds may also bring small rugs and wall hangings, but space limits pro hibit additional furniture. Radios may be brought into rooms, but consideration of the neighbors must be brought in with them. Trunks are not allowed in the rooms; they are to be stored in a room for that purpose on the ground floor. Personal laundry facilities, including electric irons and dryers, are available in each dormitory, along with hair dryers. In order that as many girls as possible may use the facilities, coeds are asked to take no more time with them than necesswy. For late snacks. kitchenettes are !er cated throughout the residence halls. Here coeds may brew coffee, make toast and fix sandwiches with the aid of an electric grill. Under no circumstances are girls to cook in their rooms as the electric circuits are not made to take the extra load. Cleaning equipment is provided on each floor. It is fine to use it frequently, - 65- it but returned should always be promptly after use. Notices of burned out light bulbs and needed repairs should be left in the front office for the custodian. is open in A central switchboard each dormitory from 7 a .m. to 11 :00 p .m. daily. While Jong distance calls are to be made from pay phones, local calls go through the switchboard. Each girl will have a room buzzer which lets her know she is wanted on the phone. She takes the call in a booth in the their to hall. Coeds are asked phone conversation five minutes, to especially in the evening. limit Mailboxes are located in the lobby next to the switchboard office. Each girl has her own compartment and a key. No mail is handed over the counter, except that which is too large for the box and special delivery and registered letters, all of which must be signed for when picked up. Meal tickets for guests may be ob tained at the switchboard office, and refunds are made if the ticket is re turned before the close of the meal for which the ticket was sold. Parlors are for relaxation and for entertaining dates. But to keep rooms looking nice dormitories don't allow girls to bring their overcoats or over shoes to the lounges with them. Books. knitting and other clutterers are best left upstairs. The dining room is supposed to be a pleasant place to enjoy three squares a day. Street dress is proper attire most of the time and food is not to be carried from the room except on a tray for a sick roommate upstairs. Recreation rooms in the basements of the dorms, besides being the one place outside of the study rooms where coeds can smoke. is a pleasant place to play cards or just sit and talk. Most dorms also have a TV set installed. An important rule is that girls are never to open outside doors which have been locked. It is an important, if simple, safety precaution. Dormitory managers are expertly trained and able to plan meals from both nutritional and appetizing stand points. Special diets cannot possibly be undertaken. Best way to reduce the waistline is through a simple exercise: just put your hands firmly on the edge of the table and push yourself away before you've eaten too much. Guidance of students is entrusted to the resident advisor and her assistant plus student assistants in each pre cinct. The Resident Advisor, more com monly known as the housemother, is the person to see whenever you have a social. academic or professional prob lem. University and AWS policy mis understandings are easily solved with the help of the student assistant, an undergraduate chosen for her ability to lead and get along with the girls. Each dormitory has its own govern ment, officers and a dorm council. Pro grams under their supervision include social events and participation in all University activities as well as intra- -66- the house in which he To apply for membership in a men's cooperative, a student may submit his name to is interested or place his name on file with the assistant to the Dean of Stu dents in charge of them. Men's cooper atives at Michigan State are Beal House, Bower House, Elsworth House, Hedrick House, Howland House, Motts House and Ulrey House. Not by any means all work and no play boys, men from the co-ops have sent some formidable athletic teams into the intra-mural program. Dances, exchanges, Spartacade, Water Carnival, Ju~ior 500 and many other University activities draw representatives from the cooperatives. Through meetings of the Inter-Coop erative Council these houses promote their activities and discuss common problems. Women's co-ops are being discontinued on the Michigan State campus next year due to housing and economic problems. dorm affairs. Several committees also operate in the dorms. The standards committee, which sets standards and goals of scholarship and general con duct; the social committee which plans exchanges and parties and the sports committee which directs participation in three typical ex amples. intra-murals are Dormitories also serve as election districts in selections of A WS Judiciary and Activity Board members and Wom en's Inter-Residence Hall Council Repre sentatives. MEN'S CO-OPS themselves manage Men's co-ops are made up of men students who live and work together, owning and operating their own houses. The men their houses, buy supplies, cook and serve meals, make repairs and do everything necessary in a smooth running organ ization. The Cooperatives carry out these functions under rules and regula tions of the University under supervision of an assistant to the Dean of Students. By living in a cooperative, a student can save from $200 to $210 a year as compared with rooming and board ing elsewhere. In addition, he gains experience in the operation of both a business and a home. Co-op members give their time, en ergy, ideas and spirit to working and living together. They usually pay a membership fee of $5 to $10 and pay a loan to their house of $20 to $150 which is returned when they leave the group. They pay for room and board at a rate considerably below that of the dormitory and put in four to six hours work a week, plus extra work for special repairs and painting. -67- -68- GREEK LIVING The essence of G~eek living is close friendship with a group of young people of your own choice. The advantages of small-group living, fine food, and a full program of activities also feature Greek life. The guidance and companionship which you gain through membership will do much to help you quickly learn the ropes at Michigan State. You will receive advice on studies, courses, social life and activities. But most im portant, you will have a group of close friends whose fellowship you can enjoy. Fraternities and sororities also have much to offer their members in the way of the development of leadership ability, social maturity, and the give-and-take of life that must take place in daily living. The social activities of fraternities and sororities intramural athletic competition, term parties, dances and parties, living unit display competition, community service projects, and Greek Week. include At MSU there are 20 sororities and 29 fraternities. Almost all these organ izations maintain chapter houses in East Lansing and each has a house mother who acts as hostess and coun selor. She has her own apartment in the chapter house and is on call at any time to help members with their problems. Housemothers seem to be in universal agreement that the little jobs are what keep them busy. Such things as sewing on buttons for her more helpless males, being a fourth at bridge and acting as a sympathetic advisor willing to listen to some of life's problems are only a few of these. Of course, both sororities and fra ternities are under University super vision. Women living in chapter houses must observe the same A WS and Uni- versity regulations as followed by o!onn residents. Sororities also send npre sentatives to A WS Activities and fu diciary Boards. Activities of the fraternities are gov erned by the Inter-fraternity Council, which is composed of three divisions. The Presidents' Assembly is the legis lative body; the Executive Council is the coordinating body, and the stand ing committees make up the admin istrative body. IFC promotes harmony among the various houses and coordin ates fraternity activities. In addition, IFC supervises fraternity rushing and co-sponsors intra-mural the fraternity program and Fraternity Sing. It pro motes such all-University activities as the IFC-Pan-Hel Ball, Greek Feast and Homecoming display competition. IFC also sponsors several service projects which are supported by the individual houses. Sororities are under the student super vision of the Pan Hellenic Council. Two members are elected from each chapter to represent their sorority on the Coun cil. This group supervises rushing and tries to make ii as easy as possible. The Council also assists in sponsoring Sorority Sing, Homecoming display coirpetition, Greek Week, and Greek community project. The Sorority Presidents' Association also is a part of Pan-He!, its main aim the activities and is establish better relations among the individual chapters. to co-ordinate For many students affiliation with a to a Greek letter organization leads fuller University life and experience. Whether the student is predisposed to go through rushing or not, he is wise the important part fra to recognize ternities and sororities play in MSU life. -69- SORORITIES Fall term coeds find themselves faced with the decision of whether or not to join a sorority. New girls are usually confused by the whole system, and realizing this, the Pan-Hellenic Council. governing body for all sororities, has set up a program to acquaint girls with the rushing system. In late October, all those interested in rushing attend a convocation in the Music Auditorium where Pan-Hellenic members answer any questions on sor ority life in addition to explaining ·rush. Slides are shown of the different houses and booklets are given out describing the parties to be held the following two weeks. To be eligible to rush, a coed must have an all-college C average the term previous to the one in which she rushes, and she must have been enrolled at Michigan State the previous terms . After each informal rush party, the rushee picks up her bids which she has received in a sealed envelope at the Pan-He! post office. She indicates from the bids she receives, the parties she would like to attend at the next stage. The parties are climaxed by a formal dessert that the rushee attends by mutual choice at only one house. All during rush, the Pan-Hel post office is open for the rushees. Those having particular problems are en- each sorority and _containing a schedule of . the teas. These teas are of an open house nature and serve as an introduc tion to sorority life. Each girl then is assigned a counselor who meets with her group and gives further orientation. them Upon returning for winter term, coeds attend another Pan-Hellenic convocation which gives all rushees a preview of couraged to schedule conferences with their counselors who are impartial and eager to help rushees in every way possible. After the last stage formal dessert, rushees go to the Pan-He! post office for the last time and pick up their bids from sororities asking them to pledge. Formal initiation is the next day. -70- that once a It is a regulation of. the National Pan Hellenic Council coed pledges a sorority and then finds that she has made a mistake and wishes to depledge, she must wait one year before she may pledge another sorority. If a coed should become an active member of a sorority and for some reason de to resign, she can never join cides another Pan-Hellenic sorority. So a girl should be sure she is making a wise decision when she selects a particular sorority. As new pledges, coeds find them selves being drawn the close harmony of sorority life. Saturday morn ings are spent doing pledge duties at the house to become better acquainted into with the active members. Sororities have done away with hell week and extreme initiations. their pledges engage in projects which will benefit the community and the sorority house. they have Instead, In the middle of spring term pledging comes to an end with a very moving and impressive ceremony as the pledge becomes an active sorority member. FRATERNITIES The best way to begin learning about fraternities is to attend the Interfraternity presentation on Tuesday, September 18, which is part of the Orientation Week schedule. Next step is to go through rushing. which begins with an open "smoker" sponsored by the Interfraternity Council on Thursday, September 20. As part o·f the smoker, prospective rushees have an opportunity to visit booths set up in the Union Ballroom and 2nd floor concourse by the various fraternities on the campus. During in fall term, the first week open houses are held at all of the fraternity houses. The houses on each side of the campus have these smokers on alternate evenings so as to allow rushees time to visit all the chapters. A rushee may attend as many of these smokers as he wishes since invitations are not issued. Closed smokers are held the following week. In order to attend any of them. the rushee must have received an in vitation.. It depends on the individual policies of the various fraternities. as to how many closed smokers the rushee must attend before being asked to pledge. Rules of the IFC limit this free dom to some extent. making it illegal to pledge anyone before noon of the third Sunday following the first day of Orientation Week. At the other end, all pledging must ooase until winter term after the first eight weeks of fall term have expired. Pledging then be gins all over again. with the same limitations, in both winter and spring term. No student dropped the pledge roll of any fraternity may be pledged to any other fraternity without written consent of the releasing house or until six months after his release have passed. from -71- term To be eligible for rushing. a student must have an all-University C average. This doesn't apply to freshmen just beginning in school. their first However. to become an active member of the frat·~rnity he must have a C average during the term in which he served his pledgeship. Some fraternities have higher grade average require ments than those mentioned here, but none may have lower. Once a student is formally pledged in a ceremony at the chapter house, his work begins for one term. Most houses have abandoned the practice of subjecting their pledges to excessive and non-productive tasks, but most houses pride themselves on putting their pledges through a tough but con structive program, during which they must study and pass examinations on fraternity history and traditions, organ izations and parliamentary procedure and do the more menial tasks to upkeep the chapter property. Pledgeship may be climaxed by the so-called Hell Week, which in recent years has been replaced by the newer concept of Help Week . Help Week discards excessive and non-productive demands on pledges in favor of a strenuous, but useful, program of public service and/ or work on the chapte:t house and grounds. Pledgeing is a probationary period for the pledges, but ii works in both directions. While the actives put the pledges to the test, the pledges have a time chance to observe for the true nature of the organization with which they have affiliated. Then comes attainment of the three-months goal - initiation. the first MARRIED HOUSING The recently completed Cherry Lane Project, University Village, and Spartan Village, all in the southwest section of campus provide 1140 modern apart ments for married students. 800 more apartments are under construction. These furnished apartments have wall-to-wall carpeting, venetian blinds, two lounge chairs. lounge (convertible to a bed). desk, and dinette with four matching chairs. The master bedroom has a double bed. chest of drawers. and a mirror. In the two bedroom type, the second bedroom has only a chest of drawers. In addition to these projects the Uni versity owns and maintains 948 bar rack-type apartments south of the main part of campus. Barrack-type apartments are of three types: no bedroom, one bedroom. and two bedrooms. Each apartment is furnished with an oil space heater, gas hot water heater. gas range, ice box, and bathroom. Cots, mattresses, and a table and chairs are available at the if needed. Married Housing Laundry in a central building. facilities are located office Application for assignment to a mar ried housing unit is made at the Hous ing Office in Wells Hall. Because of the demand for this type of housing . a six to twelve month waiting period should be anticipated. In making as signments, preference is given to vet erans on a ratio plan. All male students are eligible to apply, but freshman and sophomore non-veterans must have consent of both parents. In addition all to carry 12 residents must continue credits each term they are in school. A resident may be out of school for one quarter in four and remain in his dwelling unit provided return to school the following term is contemplated. All units are to be occupied by one family except for temporary guests. Married students may send their -72- children to public or parochial schools in East Lansing. Pre-school children may be sent to the college-operated nursery. A co-op grocery store is availabre to all residents in the immediate v icinity of the barrack apartment area. OFF-CAMPUS HOUSING in any housing of All first year non-veteran students are required to live in University resi dence halls their first year. (Those stu dents serving under the 6 months Train ing Program are not considered veter ans.) Other students may live off-campus and all male students 21 years or under must live in university-approved hous ing. Co-eds over 25 years of age may live their choice. A list of these rooms may be secured at the office of the Housing Director. It is up to the individual to find his own room. He must sign a contract with the householder which is binding for one term. It may be broken only with the consent and approval of the Housing Director. Should the student leave the room for which he has con tracted before the term is over, he may be liable for the entire term. Overnight guests are per mitted only if the householder approves . The householder may charge for this privilege. Women guests are never rooms. allowed the room rent for to stay student in Intoxicants and gambling are not per in approved housing which mitted the general University comes under regulations concerning these miscon ducts . The cost of off-campus housing varies with the facilities. Usually double rooms range from $6 .00 to $8.00 per person, and single rooms from $7.00 to $10 .00. All approved off-campus housing has been carefully inspected by both the Housing Office and the City of East Lansing. However, the student should report the Housing Director any conditions which are unsatisfactory. to Remember that you are a paying guest and do not have all the privileges that you would have in your own home. APARTMENT RESIDENT HALL FOR WOMEN resident hall Recently completed is the new Van for Hoosen apartment women. It contains 32 apartments, each accommodating 6 women . Each unit for living-study 6 has a bedroom, bath, room, and kitchen-dining area . It is located east of Shaw Hall along the Red Cedar. The students in each unit share the cooking and cleaning in their unit and must furnish their own telephone. Women with at least a sophomore standing will be given preference. They must have a 2.2 all-college record. -73- The photographs on these pages show the newest University housing accommoda tions - the Brody unit for men.

ORGANIZATIONS STUDENT GOVERNMENT In 1951, Student Government at Mich igan State was re-organized under a new constitution approved by the stu dents, the faculty and the State Board of Agriculture. By the end of 1952 an amendment had been added to provide for a maximum student tax of 25 cents per term. In May 1954, this amendment was given final approval. Based on a strong comprehensive constitution and strengthened by financial independence, Student Government at State emerged as one of the finest in the country, serving as a model for other schools. The campus population is divided into districts and each district elects one representative for students in that area. These representatives make up legislative branch, or Congress. the The president, speaker and secretary are elected by the Congress from its own membership. Congress passes laws <:oncerning student conduct of an all- University nature and legislates on any matter necessary in aiding in the plan ning, supervision and coordination of student activities. Assisting the Congress in carrying out its functions is the Executive Branch, headed by the president of the All U niversity Student Government. He is assisted by a cabinet of 18 people who maintain departments responsible for the administration of government pre> jects and the enforcement of its laws. The Judiciary Branch is set up to decide the legality of Student Govern. men! action and to hear appeals from the Men's and Women's Judiciary and those approved by the Dean of Stu dents' Office, concerning student dis ciplinary action. Student Government has been direct ing its efforts into three main areas: the welfare and rights of students, direct student benefits. and support and aid to organizations. -78- MEN'S ACTIVITY COUNCIL Men's Activity Council was formed with the purpose of uniting all male students with the idea of providing such services as would be advantageous to the whole student body. A.W.S. and Men's Council sponsor the annual Activities Carnival, STUN and the winter blood drive . Another event which Men's Council sponsored was the Thanksgiving Book Drive. Books were collected and donated to foreign coun tries. The Council is represented on thg Executive Board of Student Government, Student Faculty Social Committee, Stu dent Guide Program, and the Elections Review Board. Rush will be open Fall Term by petition to all full-time students (12 or more credits) with a 2.0 all-university average. INTER-FRATERNITY COUNCll. Inter-Fraternity Council is organized to govern the 29 social fraternities on campus. The Council recently approved a new co.nstitution which reorganized the group. Three divisions, the Presi dent's Assembly, Executive Council and five standing committees were set up under the new constitution. IFC sponsors rush smokers and open houses and awards scholarship trophies each term. Purpose of the council is to assist the fraternities in maintaining a high level of campus citizenship and to help in developing a well rounded program of participation in all worthwhile campus activities. them PAN HELLENIC COUNCIL Pan Hellenic Council, more commonly known as Pan-He!, is composed of two representatives from each of State's 20 national sororities.

The Council also assists IFC with preparations for Greek Week and the IFC-Pan-Hel Dance. WOMEN'S INTER-RESIDENCE HALL COUNCIL Women's Inter-Residence Hall Council is a coordinating body for the women's dorms. It consists of one member from each dorm except Mason, which is allowed two representatives because of its size. The girls are elected at the end of winter term and hold office for the coming year. Purpose of the Council is to stimulate interest in activities within the dormi tories, create among the girls a feeling of belonging, develop strong friendship and inspire wholesome attitudes and ideals. The Council sponsors the annual Homecoming Display Contest, Women's . Inter-Dorm Sing, Officers' Banquet and an all-dormitory dance.

ATHLETICS SPORTS AT MSU the M.S.U.'s extensive athle tic program offers varsity le tters in 16 sports, plus offering a varie ty of intramural awards. of Athletic supervision Under Director Clarence L. "Biggie" Munn, athletic activ ities of some kind are offered to anyone who wants to take part in sports. With the huge well equippe d Je nison Fieldhouse, ne wly en larged Macklin Field, Ralph H. Young Field, tennis courts, a new 18 hole golf course and numerous other facilities, State already has one of the finest athletic plants in the Big 10 and in the country. FOOTBALL Football, under the able direction of the Year," Hugh 1955 " Duffy" Daugherty, is State's top sport. " Coach of Last season, amidst a whole host of injuries, the Spartans were upset by Illinois and Michigan to finish in a 4th place tie in the Big Ten. The team had an ove rall record of seven wins and two losses. Again, State finished within the top ten teams in the nation. A feature of the football season is the traditional rivalry between M.S.U. and the U. of M. in Ann Arbor. The rivalry grows more and more intense as the Michigan game approaches. State also has an old rival in Indiana, with whom we have an exchange trophy, the "Old Brass Spittoon." Extra-curricular activities during Fall Term are largely centered around the Saturday afternoon football game be cause, as the Pacific coast can testify, you can't beat the Big 10 for football. BASKETBALL Basketball under head coach Forest is State's main "Forddy" Anderson winter sport. The Spartans were last season's Big Ten co-champs with India na with a 16-10 overall season rec ord. The team play was sparked by Jack Quiggle and John Greene who were chosen for national honors for their fine play. Led by Greene and Quiggle the N.C.A.A. Midwest Regional Champion surprising victory over ship with a powerful Kentucky, and moved on to lace team., the nation's number one North Carolina's Tarheels, at Kansas City in the N.C.A .A .. playoffs. It took the Tarheels three exciting overtimes the Spartans captured - 108- to edge State 74-70, in a contest which every Spartan fan will re~ember as an example of the true fighting spirit of Michigan State University's athletes. This coming season, the cagers will again thrill their followers at Jenison, a nd their prospects look promising of continuing their winning ways of top notch basketball. BASEBALL Baseball is another sport at which Spartan teams excel. For the last sev eral years, Coach John Kobs' teams have either been Big 10 champs or close in the running for the champion ship. This tradition will undoubtedly be continued by the 1958 team. Many ex-Spartans have gone into professional baseball after leaving college, the most famous of whom is Robin Roberts of the Philadelphia Phillies. TRACK With excellent facilities for both in· door and outdoor track, Coach Karl teams have compiled Schlademan's enviable records in both the Big 10 a nd the N.C.A.A . This coming year looks promising with Willie Atterbury, a freshman last year who has already established himself as one of the na tion's greats in the 440 and 880 yard team which looks well event, and a balanced to produce another great track power in the Midwest. CROSS-COUNTRY Winning the Big Ten title five times in seven tries and copping their sixth N.C.A.A . title is indeed a record that the cross-country team can be proud of. La st season the team also copped the l.C.4A, led by Henry Kennedy and Selw yn Jones. Kennedy placed first in every meet except in which he took third. This season should prove as successful for a lmost the entire the N.C.A .A., team is returning to compete in the season's title meets. HOCKEY Amo Bessone's hockey teams have been steadily improving over the last few years until he now has an im pressive array of talent on hand. Spar tan hockey fans gather in the Demon stration Hall Ice Arena during winter term to watch the pucksters. Hockey addicts claim that there's no sport to compare with it. SWIMMING Again, Jenison's fine facilities provide an exceptional home for a Spartan team. Last year the Spartan tankmen smashed a seven year reign by Ohio State in the Midwest to win the Big Ten Cham pionship and go on to the N.C.A.A. final where they finished third. Led by captain Jim Clemens, State had a bal anced power of accomplished swimmers. This year Coach Charles McCaffree and all Spartans should again be proud of their excellent team. WRESTLING Findlay Collins, who coached the U.S. team in the 1955 Pan American games is State's wrestling coach. Last season, the team finished w ith a 7-2 record and a sixth place tie in the Big Ten. - 109- FENCING TENNIS Paced by George Thomas, champ of the Big 10 sabre division, State's fencing team, coached by Charles Schmitter, finished fourth in the Big 10. GYMNASTICS Coach George Szypula's gymnasts finished third in the Big 10 champion ships with a 7-1 overall season record. GOLF State's golf team, coached by Ben Van Alstyne, finished 7th in the Big 10. The golf team will be aided next spring by the addition of a new 18 hole golf course on the campus. in Coach Harris Beeman's tennis team finished 6th the Big Ten. Many prospects for this year look good and should prove to better last year's stand ings by a wide margin. SOCCER Last season was the first on the Spartan campus for the hooters and proved to be an exciting and very successful one. Coached by Gene Kenney, the team went season with a 5-0-1 record. A bright future is ahead for the Spartan soccer team. through the -IIO- DIRECTORY MEN'S COOPERATIVE HOUSING Beal Street House ________ ___ __________________ _________ 208 Beal Street _____________________________ ED 2-5555 Bower House ---- -----------···-- -- ---· -···-- ------------- 636 Abbott Road __________ ________ __ __ ____ ED 2-5937 Elsworth --------- ---- ---------- --- ----- --------- ----- ----------711 W .
