Kent State University at Kent, Ohio after 40 Years Ron MoscoH, Editor Edward Core, Business Manager Anne Liberati, Associate Editor Kent, 40 Years Ago It seems all so long ago . . . yet, in reality, it has only been 40 years. Cutting our way through a haze of cloudy mem- ories and going from the future to the past, we see KSU, known in 1913 as Kent State Normal School, emerging as Northern Ohio ' s second teacher training institution. Kent was considered just a baby when she entered into the world of such educational centers as Harvard, Yale, Notre Dame and other old schools. Disregarding the raised eyebrows of the old-timers, campus Kentonicns beamed with pride as their Columbia of the West soared to the top. The middle twenties manifested high spirits at Kent, as well as all over the nation. The former Normal School was chang- ing to an entirely different institution. Our beautiful young lady was growing up. Subjected to many trials and trib- ulations, such as World War I, the depression and World War II, Kent lacking in poise and experience, used her dreams, hopes and desires as courage as she stumbled along the dark and gloomy road to success. The growing up process Kent has experienced was a rugged period. However, it has given her the strength and stability she may boast of today. Looking at her as an individual per- sonality, she has gone through all the steps you and I exper- ienced and more Her valuable contributions have gained nationwide fame. Our 40-year-old alma mater was not satis- fied to climb high . . . she reached for the stars. Kent today . ■■ ' ■ ' X . ).L i y ■ ' ' i 4 F .,-?

This is changeless. The important becomes trivial; the trivial becomes important. It is now as it was then; a great wheel of events . . . dramas, re-enacted time and again. Favorite Campus Scenes Tell Old Story What an old story these many, many steps could tell. What a new story this young artist could relate. One records the march of past history. The other reflects the changes of our recent era. Today these are among favorite campus scenes for Kentonians . . rushing to classes, sauntering home or lolling in the sunlight to enjoy quiet rest and conversation. 10 11 lil !i! !i e- ' - •J - ' T ' - ' J ' - r ' - i!d i . . iJWSt-Vj KL... .•. ■ j6 -i.. - ■ 4 - di ' The Old and the New . . . Art and books . . . boys and girls. The old and the new. They blend as one. All pride themselves on things past; all reflect this in dealings present; all pledge themselves anew to pursue truth. 13 That ' s how it wos in Mama ' s Day. I ast and J- p msen ly   t She ' s a big girl now . . . boasting an enrollment of over 5,000 and promising to grow even more. Her story is almost like a fairy tale when you think back how at one time Kent had only 250 in its first graduating class, composed of nearly all women. Yet those 250 started KSU on its way, leaving a growing Kent to aid a growing nation. Back then, Kent turned out mostly elementary teachers. Today the university produces competent men and women and it is Kent ' s aim, now as then, to nurture sound scholarship, to encourage careful research and to maintain foundational principles. KSU, in these eventful days, offers special interest courses, keeping abreast with changing conditions in ex- port and import trade, governmental service, management and labor, atomic studies, health improvement, and on, and on, in an endless list. With the goal our 40-year-old alma mater has in sight, tomorrow she will surely be one of the great educational centers of the Middlewest, if not the country. Her aim is expansion . . . educational and humanitarian expansion across our green, gleaming campus. Her newly polished confidence will shine brightly when that aim is fulfilled. 14 Mexico is part of the world ' s classroom today. IS Kent ' s Nerve Centers The deans sit in their offices through days of lengthy consultation. When the word comes down, they apply the rules, meet the people and set the hours. They are a university ' s nerve cen- ters. Without them a university has no pulse. A Great Achievement Coming here in 1944 to assume the duties as president of Kent State, Dr. George A. Bowman was confronted almost at once with the huge task of setting the university back on its feet after World War II. The president, who never wants to see our mature young lady completely grow up, started immedi- ately to rebuild and reorganize Kent. Since he has been here. Dr. Bowmen has seen 7,000 stu- dents go out in all fields of study, in addition to keeping a constant expansion program in op- eration. A great achievement has been accom- plished here by a truly great man. 16 Progressive Ideas for KSU Under the leadership and progressive ideas of President Bowman, Kent has grown to the second largest state university in Ohio. In spite of his busy schedule, the door to Pres. George A. Bowman ' s office is always open to students with a problem, no matter how large or small. 17 Feminine Understanding . . . In no other university office is the drama of life more completely enacted than in a dean of women ' s office. Feminine understanding is necessary to solve the many and varied prob- lems every girl experiences in her daily life. Margaret Swanson, new Kent State University dean of women, has the experience and fair judgement to do this, and even more important, she has the interest which is so needed. The Youngest of All He Reached the Top As Arden L. Allyn, dean of the col- lege of business administration, looks through his office window, he can probably see in every new building the year-by-year progress that steadily has been made ever since he first came here in 1934. Under his guidance the BA college, youngest of them all, has grown up, along with the whole University. There are two ways to get to the top. One way is to be a mountain climber, the other is to become a college dean. Eric N. Rackham, new KSU dean of liberal arts has done both. A member of the Climber ' s club for six years, he feels right at home among Kent ' s hills. Look- ing to the future, the dean hopes to see Kent also reach its peak. 18 Their Problems Are His . . . Through the years students of KSU have looked upon Raymond Manchester, dean of men, as a sec- ond father. Their problems are his and his time is theirs. Counsellor, teacher, author, mathe- matician, sportsman; he is each one of these. Work is pleasure to him. A part of the Univer- sity since 1920, the past holds a host of mem- ories for the dean and he feels that the future will bring even greater ones. ' ik Wc • d ■ Mfcalf 1 lilllBf ' t An Ambition Fulfilled The Story Is Complete From grade school teacher, to high school instructor, to associate college professor, to Dean of Edu- cation at Kent State University; this is the success story of Robert I. White. Considering that his ambition always was to be a teacher, this is not an unusual tale. Now a busy college dean, he only wishes he had more time to do some actual teaching. Give a man a spade and seeds, a plot of land to farm and he is contented. Also give him books and students to teach and that is the complete story of Raymond Clark, graduate school dean. Since Dean Clark came to KSU in 1926 he has seen its growth in students, buildings and equipment. In 1947 he saw Kent ' s first graduate school es- tablished and became its first dean. 19 They Really Have It! Along with the spirit that accompanies a football game is that enthusiasm shown when the Twin Marching bands come strut- ting out on the field. It seems as though a spark of pride lights up in the eyes of every Kent Stater. From its very humble beginning in 1929, this group has grown to be one of the most outstanding organizations in the school. The first marching band was started in 1 935 followed by a coed band in ' 41 . Nine- teen fifty brought the formation of the now famous Twin Marching bands. And they really have it. One can ' t help but enjoy watching them . . . enthusiasm rubs off and they certainly have plenty of it to give. Leading the high-stepping majorettes on the field for every half time show at the football games this year, sparkling Sue Ann Hurd, head majorette, added the fin- ishing touch to our Twin Marching band. Sue Ann began as a majorette when she was a sophomore at Newton Falls High School. She has been with the KSU band for three years. A member of the junior class. Sue Ann is a physical education major in the College of Education. She is a coun- selor at Moulton Hall and a member of Chi Omega sorority. Left to right ore Bill Wetshtein, John Bengham, George Fletcher and Art Getz, members of the KSU Twin Marching band. This picture was taken at the Bowling Green-Kent game as the men were critically watching the performance of the Bowling Green band during half-time before they joined our band for the KSU show. All the members of the band have not only made themselves the pride of all Kent State by the spectacular appearance they made all year, but also for the spirit they had. Bonnie Fishburn and Dwight Goodman are ready to really let out with the sweet notes. Music, however, is not the only art connected with the playing In a marching band these days. The band participant must also become a functioning member of a crack drill team which would rival the most trained band group. 21 Ml L 1S A %. Test Tubes, Experiments . Dr. J. Cleve Carroll, Chemistry professor and student Thomas Yukich conduct an experiment in the lab. The apparatus being used is a soil analysis tester. A flaming bunsen burner, a smoking test tube, the long and confusing corridors of McGilvrey Hall ... all these things ring a bell of familiarity with any Chemistry stu- dent. Since 1940 when McGilvrey was built. Chemistry majors at Kent began to have all the facilities needed for a well-rounded course. Today, Kent ' s Chemistry depart- ment has advanced to the top and is still making bigger strides. It is held in high esteem by the American Chem- ical Society, for the charter held by the local chapter, is one of 200 out of 1500 universities in the country. 22 That ' Casual Look ' They run around in jeans and smocks and just have that casual look. And they ' re excused for it because they are artists. The Art department at Kent started on the unpaved road to success in 1913. Today, it is known as one of the out- standing departments here. Having access to the new fa- cilities in the Industrial Arts building, art majors are ac- quainted with any branch of art. A 1 2-manned staff has a full time job teaching the young idealists how to put their abstract ideas into something concrete. Their success in doing so has made the department what it is now. Left to right are Bette Dunn, Harold Kitner, assistant professor of art, Nancy Mehl and their guide in Mexico. During the summer of ' 52, the professor and some Kent art majors parti- cipated in this field trip to Mexico. David Hambleton and Charles Babcock are in the aeronautics laboratory at the Industrial Arts building. Both students, avia- tion technology majors, are checking instruments on an amphibian plane donated to KSU by Goodyear. 23 ir. ' .- ' . ' jba-crjjf; New Developments at KSU Dr. Roy Wenger, professor of education, demon- strates a Magnacorder to Robert Lede and Betty DeBout. This machine is used in the Department of Audio Visual Education. It is one of the new de- velopments in the department. Beginning as a Normal School, whose chief aim was to prepare students for elementary teaching, the College of Education has soared from an enrollment of 291 to 1700 students. Many new developments have taken place since Kent began as a small normal school. Today she can boast of being the largest single source of teachers in the state of Ohio. 24 Dr. Charles Perkins, assoc. professor of psych- ology, is showing an experiment in the psych- ology clinic. This experiment, along with many others are also shown to all the classes in psychology. By turning on the machine, he causes electrical currents to go through the cage the rat is in. It is testing the reflexes of the rat from its reaction to the electricity and also to the sound of a bell which rings. A Service and Aid for Students Dr. Charles Winslow, professor of psychology, is giving o hearing test to Carol Propper, 7-year old girl of Kent, Ohio. Dr. Winslow is director of the KSU psych clinic. The fall of 1947 was a very significant time to the expansion of KSU. The great influx of students in that year required larger educational departments, additional faculty and improved facilities. Among these growing departments was the Psychology department, which obtained four new faculty members and established the Psych clinic. This clinic, founded as a service and an aid to the students, is an accomplishment KSU can be very proud of. It serves as a lab for practical train- ing in addition to giving personal guid- ance to students, as well as offering aid to other people in this locality. 25 Hopes and Hard Work Earn Success Since the origination of the Annual Press Photography Short Course in 1938, Kent students have listened attentively to visiting photog- raphers speak on their chosen profession, only hoping someday to achieve the same prominence. Two former students reached this goal during the 1952 course. Roger Baele, editor of the 1950 Burr, returned to campus to receive the top trophy for sports photography in the national contest, and John Stage, former news bureau photographer took his place among such men at Mott, Karsh, Halsman and Scherschel as short course speakers. This world ' s largest gathering of news photog- raphers has attracted more than 3,000 cameramen in its 1 1 years of service. J. Winton Lemen of the Eastman Kodak Company is demonstrating the Kodak BC Flash Gun to Short Course members here. Fred Sparks, foreign corre- spondent and staff writer for the Chicago Daily Newts, gave the keynote address on Press In Korea, at the opening session of the Short Course to more than 200 photog- raphers in the Arts Building at Kent, March 18, 1952. Observers, who were members of the annual Kent State Short Course in Press Photography, seem very en- grossed in examining the new Kodak BC flash gun which J. Winton Lemen demonstrated for them. rm H I Hhm ' ' - Mr ■ B i bL m k H h Ih i H This picture was taken of the photo short course display of prints which were entered in the national contest. Bob McMaken, former Kent student and Stater photographer, received honorable mention in society on his picture. Memories and Friends From the three two-credit courses in Journalism offered at Kent 25 years ago the school of journalism, then not even a department, has grown in leaps and bounds. At present time, the school of journalism is nationally known and held in high respect by those in the practicing fields. The National Press Photographer ' s Association has cited it for pioneering in the education for press photography, a field in which the school enjoys an international repu- tation, and the State of Ohio cited the journalism school for advancing the prestige of the State. Through the hard work and efforts of the journalism professors and the in- terest shown by every J -major, the prestige the jour- nalism school holds is being scattered all over the nation. And perhaps even more important is the attitude of the j- students here. Everyone of them will always carry heart- warming memories of the J -school, the J -profs, their ex- periences, their work on publications . . . their friends. 28 Sitting around the semi-circular toble are journalism majors in one of the most infor- mal J-courses offered here at KSU. This Editing class is taught by Murray Powers, managing editor of the Akron Beacon Journal. Practically everything from humorous news- paper anecdotes to how to manage a newspaper is discussed. When this picture was taken, the students were giving their views on the results of the Ike-Adlai presidential race. Deeply engrossed in how to write a good news story is being practiced in this Reporting class instructed by Prof Bill Fisher. Seated from right to left are students, Rod Kalten- baugh, Moynord Buck, Don Sabbath, Chuck Miller, Barbara Pickering, Allen Smith, Anne Liberati and Tom Duke. Dewey Hale, Joe Antenora and Marilyn Beifuss are enlarg- ing negatives in the journalism school ' s photography dork- room. Pat Cain and Robert Burrs are taking wire copy from the teletype machine in the journalism lounge. 29 The Theatrical World Comedy, drama ... all are brought to life on the stage of the New Theatre. It gave Its first major performance a little more than a year ago, but it has already become a haven for all budding actors and actresses. The presentation of its one-act plays provides a chance for beginners to gain ex- perience in front of a small audience before attempting a major production. Dramatic progress has been shown in its well-received plays. Jack Brooks appeared as Grigori Steponovitch Smirnov, and Carol Evans as Helena Popov in a one-act play, The Boor, which was presented at the New Theatre fall quarter. The New Theatre is a division of University Theatre and is partially a teaching program for students taking courses in study of the theatre, methods of directing plays and opportunities for actual acting. It was established last year mainly to give beginning actors a better chance, but it is also used as a classroom for all courses concerning any phase of the theatrical world. 30 Above are Chris Kolas and Gus Avioliotus. Below are Nancy Beatty and Carol Arnold. The picture was taken last spring from the UT production, As You Like It, directed by Prof. Earl Curtis. Nancy did an excellent job as Rosalind. Chris was a satiric and properly reticent Corin; Gus portrayed Touchstone and Caroline made a charming Celia. Beautiful words were put to music as the Shake- speare play was renovated. Left to right, Professors Earl E. Curtis, Kotherine Norton, E. Turner Stump and Harry G. Wright pose informally on the stairs. The four speech instructors have been very active directors in University Theatre productions since it was organized. 31 Miss Helene Sawachka, teacher of deaf children, at the University Training School is with a group of her students who are listening to records for vibrations and tones. With the help of the speech and hearing clinic on campus, a program of teaching the deaf is developing rapidly under Prof. Rachel D. Davies, professor of speech education and speech. Edward Harris, graduate student, is giving a hearing test to Floyd Earle, major in speech and hearing therapy. The room which they are in is a soundproof room in the speech and hearing clinic. The apparatus being used reveals the tone of vibrations one hears. Miss Eleanor Gray, assistant professor of speech, is giving a lip-reading test to Lorena Schafer. The two rooms with the glass partition are also in the speech and hearing clinic, and are a part of the expansive program for aid to the deaf. A Program to Aid Deaf Children Aiding deaf children, three to 12, to live a normal life is one of the things which provides a great amount of satis- faction to those connected with the Speech and Hearing Therapy Clinic. The program for treating deaf children places special emphasis on teaching the deaf to talk and read lips, along with teaching them the fundamentals of the English language. An important part of this special training is demonstration of the work in the classroom and discussions of special methods and techniques. The extremely modern clinic consists of two sound treated rooms, library-social room, on observation room, and other studies. Community service is also a very impor- tant function of this department. Mr. Montgomery, director of the Speech and Heoring Clinic, heads one of the most helpful and widely known organizations serving Kent State University. With the aid of his daughter. Diana, he illustrates one of the many ways in which the clinic serves the college students ond the surrounding com- munity. 33 A Variety of Subjects Zoology — journalism, mathematics — psychology — you name it, the College of Liberal Arts teaches it. With its aim to teach Kent Staters how to live and how to moke a living, LA graduates citizens. The Middle Man at Kent Its broad curricula has made LA a middle man, for much of its work is done in conjunction with Kent State ' s other colleges. A student enrolled in education, for example, will go to the College of Liberal Arts to take his math and English requirements. This has made LA an important stepping stone in almost every collegiate ' s quest for the treasured sheepskin. Kent State ' s LA college has been performing its dual how-to-live and how-to-learn function since 1929. Liberal Arts graduates enter the professional world with a knowledge of facts vital to those in a democratic society plus an ability to be self supporting. 34 Something New Was Added In 1929 something new was added to Kent State Normal that was to raise its status from just a teacher ' s school to a growing and respected university. That something was the estoblishment of the Liberal Arts college. During 23 years of progress under five different deans the LA section has grown, along with KSU. 35 T Donna Allen New Castle, Pa, Robert Amrein Akron Thomas Anderson Macedonia Mark Anthony Middleton Thomas C.

Of course it all de- pends on what he is looking for. If it is furni- ture for a new dormitory he has to consider buy- ing for approximately 200 students. On his way home he may have to pick up a few reams of paper to keep his secretaries supplied. Through his hands goes all the money of the University. Seeking A Job? KSU ' s Financier Through a student ' s four years in college, he generally has one out- standing goal in mind; to get an education so that he con have a successful career when he grad- uates. After commencement he turns to Lester H. Munzenmayer, director of appointments, for a job. This is not new to him because he has been placing graduates since 1934. A man to handle the money of a large organization is always im- portant. This man at KSU is Comp- troller Paul E. Beck. He has con- trol of student fees, state fin- ances, certain trust funds and in general almost all transactions of University funds. Truly, the pursestrings of this University are in Mr. Beck ' s hands. 42 I • He Schedules Classes « • • England has given us the stories of Shakespeare, the adventures of Robin Hood, and more recently, the registrar of Kent State University. A KSU graduate himself. Dr. Charles Atkinson now aids future alumni with registration and admission. Faculty and students alike look to him for help in scheduling classes. And like many other KSU administrators. Dr. Atkinson enjoys gardening, golfing and hunting in his extra-curricular time. Our Mr. Anthony The Man to See The Mr. Anthony of Kent, Dr. Loren Hadley, director of student advising, handles big and little problems for KSU students. For fifteen years, he has met and conquered troubles for confused Kent Staters. And in those years. Dr. Hadley has watched Kent expand in quantity as well as quality; a change he expects to watch until the University is rated tops in the USA. During the four-year whirl of college, a student comes into con- tact with all of the university offi- cials. Before he starts, however, he must go through the office of Richard G. Rotzel, the director of admission. It is he who weeds out the thousands of applicants and refers them to the proper sources. His chief interest is getting to know the students better. 43 ' itJiiieJJ Afdin ill [stra- ti on It Was Born in ' 36 With 97 semester hours to offer, the College of Business Administration launched its career in 1936, boasting an enrollment of 185 students, composed mostly of freshmen and sophomores. From Rags to Riches From rags to riches, from one graduate in 1936 to 297 in 1951, is the Horatio Alger success story of the College of Business Administration. It all started sixteen years ago, when a tenta- tive schedule of classes was drawn up after ex- tensive research into other University BA curri- cula and the results of a detailed question- naire mailed to 350 industries had been compiled. Through the anxious war years, the college con- tinued to grow under the direction of Dean Allyn. It is now a successful co llege offering graduate work and approximately 472 credit hours. Kent State ' s baby is getting bigger every year. 44 Adaptability Is Its Asset The adaptability of the College of Business Administra- tion is one of its greatest assets. A good illustration of this was the special courses offered in foreign trade and relations during the war. Later in 1949 they again came out with something new in the form of courses in Industrial Accounting and Professional Accounting. 45 Bruce Abraham Canton Donald C.

A university is like a small city ... it has its govern- ing body, its laws, its police force, its work and its ac- tivities. The people in a university are also like the people in a city. There are the people who are just content to have a place to live, and there are the people who run the city. We hove chosen six people to salute who have hod an ac- tive part in helping to run our university. They have not only gained an academic education, but have made it a well-rounded course by their participation in activities. These six, all listed in Who ' s Who In American Colleges, are among many who have participated in campus activities, but we feel that they have not only distinguished them- selves, but have also been of service to the school. These students, we pridefully salute.

Kent State ' s College of Education since 1 91 2 has been helping to meet the urgent need for capable educators in all fields. Unlimited Opportunities Offering degrees in Kindergarten, Elementary and High School Education is only one function of the Education College. In addition to these they give opportunities in Special Education for the teach- ing of exceptional children, which includes Speech and Hearing Therapy and the Teaching of the Slow Learning students. Establishing the Graduate School in 1937 rendered additional opportunities for students interested in further specialization and clinical training in their chosen fields. They also serve the schools of Northeastern Ohio as they sponsor workshops and conferences and assist state and local P.T.A. organizations. 54 It ' s Growing and Growing With numerous improvements and services added for their students in the past forty years, the Education College now boasts of producing as many teachers as any other school in Ohio. The year 1950 gave them an all time high enrollment record of 2,120 students. Two thirds of Kent ' s female population is now enrolled in this college. 55 M.Jum Joan Aitken Chordon Carolyn Alexander Wickliffe Jay Alexander Kent Pauline Almburg Newton Falls Kathryn Altfather Cuyahoga Falls Paul Amodio Kent Mary Lou Anglemyer Youngstown George Bachmann Ravenna J.

' wik, J lakilakti, un ( nuf It ' ll never be quite the same again. Life progresses every day, but memories remain changeless. College life . . . once we have been through the four-year grind, we ' ll laugh at the tears shed, the trials and the tribulations. Those are all just a part of it ... a good part. The fun, the crazy things we did and the big moments are never completely forgotten. That unexplainable feeling we get on Campus Day, standing down at the bottom of the hill watching as Cardinal Key members and the Queen ' s court make their impressive showing. The Maypole Dance, which follows, makes the festi- vities complete. Homecoming . . . the enthusiastic crowd at the game, open houses and old friends who return to try to recapture a little of that feeling they had as students. Freshman week . . . remember how we complained about it, yet really loved it. The upperclcssmen received a big bang out of acting like wheels, while the poor frosh wandered around in a daze for a few weeks. Time passes quickly. Soon it ' s all over. All that ' s left is the memories. We wonder what happened to our old friends and sit around at times thinking, I remember that time at KSU ... Yes, time passes quickly, but the memories stay. The things we do today, we will remember tomorrow. 66 67 68 Regatta Go, Regatta Row, was the motto and it really was carried out. The Kent Stater staff, promoters of the affair, held their breaths when they scheduled the date for the event since it fell on Memorial Day week-end. For a change, however, the suitcase students didn ' t go home. The Alpha Phi Slap bang gals mode a grand slam with a haul of two trophies. Dottie Atwood was chosen queen and they came out first in the Sorority Rowing Race. Chi Alpha took the frat- ernity division trophy and Stopher Hall once more came through for the Independent Men ' s Division. Rowing alone, Marilyn Haese copped the trophy for the Independent Women ' s division. To make things even better, there was on excep- tion to a usual occurrence ... it didn ' t rain. The sun smiled brightly all day, the crowd was huge and the enthusiasm bubbled over. Centered around Rowboat Regatta Queen, Dottle Atwood, left to right are Bobbie Best, Sue Hurd, Mono Etienne, Dot Yallech, Polly Buchholz, Marilyn Miller, Bonnie Meese and R. Kreuzer. .  iU a1 iy ' v Enthusiasm Bubbled Over . . . Rowboat Regatta When Rowboat Regotta was first introduced on this compus, it lacked glamour. It lacks nothing now. The twelve Regotta finalists chosen for the day could easily match legs with the Rockettes who perform ot Radio City Music Hall in New York. Too bad there were no talent scouts at hand. Aching muscles really took their toll the night of Rowboat Re- gatta. All the participants went oil out in performing at their very best. The sun shined brightly all day, and the crowd really swarmed at Brady Lake. The Kent Stater staff breathed a sigh of relief when their managing editor declined a scheduled rowing match with the Burr heads as a feature for the day. f! nfWBR .- Campus Day . . . Campus day . . . one of the best loved events at KSU, started as a campus open house It was a day set aside in spring for the com- munity to visit the campus. A lantern par- ade, an outstanding feature, was a beau- tiful display of the students and faculty marching with lighted lanterns all over the campus, ending up in a darkened Wills Gym. The fire warden said, No, and things were changed. A parade of floats took its place along with other changes. One thing that started then and has remained, however, is the traditional May pole dance. Campus Day Queen, Miss Eleanor Mann 70 The Memories Are Changeless We hoped and hoped, but it was no use . . . the sun just wouldn ' t shine. In a drizzling rain, groups participating in the float parade put the finishing touches on their entries before the judges made their appearance. Old Sol peeked his head out long enough for the Queen ' s presenta- tion and the Maypole dance, but during the float parade, it began to play hide and seek again. It finally gave up in defeat to the rain and the crowd jammed the auditorium to hear the Songfest contest. Perhaps the weather wasn ' t on our side, but tradition was, and Campus Day was still that one favorite day of pleasant memories. Alpha Xi Delta hopped to the top of the sorority division in the float contest with plenty of bun- nies and a theme, KSU Grows by Leaps and Bounds. The procession of Cordinol Key members, followed by the Queen ' s court and the Maypole dance were the traditional highlights of Campus day. The rain was polite enough to woit while the proceedings went on, and the crowd swarmed around the front campus to get a glimpse of the lovelies. Re- membering this scene always mokes Campus day the best. Bob Chester ' s band went all out to put on a performance at the Campus day dance. During intermission, the songfest troph- ies were awarded to Delta Tau Delta and Chi Omega for the third consecutive year. The Delts also came through with a trophy for their float and patriotic theme, Will We Perish? portraying Uncle Sam and Joe Stalin. J = :,« ?• -y-v n ; v With butterflies flitting around in their stomachs, the 1952 groduates of Kent State marched around the front of the platform in the auditorium to receive their diplomas, while proud porents looked on. President George Bowman congratulates a ' 52 grad, who has just completed four years of study at KSU. Graduation day Graduation day is a date long-anticipated in the minds of every student. Yet when it finally arrives, a mixture of feelings accompanies it. There is the light-hearted feeling in the graduates that they fin- oily made it. They would soon be on their own, ready to find their place in the world. There is a little feeling of dread as to what will happen next, now that they ore to be on their own with a lot of respon- sibility to face. There is a bit of a heavy-hearted feeling in the fact that they will leave a sheltered college life and dear friends. There is a melancholy feeling experienced by all as they take their last glances around the campus, which soon will no longer be their home. The fun they had, the activities they participated in, the classes, the profs, the troubles, the laughs, in a short time will just be events of the past. Yet, there will be even more happy ex- periences to look forward to in the future. Walking across the platform, tossing the tassle across their cap, receiving their diplomas ... all are a signifi- cant part of something wonderful which has ended; something wonderful which will begin. mi VJU The proceedings were solemn. The crowd was impressed. The seniors were misty- eyed. The underclassmen were envious end thankful at the same time. Soon graduation would be all over, but the audience wanted to remember every bit of it. A Mixture of Feelings Are Experienced Merrill Williams, a 1952 groduate from the College of Liberal Arts, and his family look at his newly-acquired diploma with much pride. This diplo- ma is a remembrance of four years at KSU. 73 A cold, dreary day greeted the KSU frosh of ' 52 their first day of arrival on campus. Waiting for Moulton hall to open, all of them must have experienced a variety of emotions. It was the first time many of them ever left their parents and anxiety took a firm grip on them with the thought, What next? Others were thrilled at the fact that at lost they ' d be real-honest-to-goodness colle- gians. New friends would have to be mode; new interests would replace old ones. They were about to enter an entirely new phase of life . . . one they would remember the rest of their lives. 74 Hazing, Dinks, Traditions Freshman week . . . will any of us ever forget It? Fourteen hundred and thirty-eight bewildered frosh wondered when it would come to an end in ' 52. Orientation tours and placement tests were the first thing that hit the new- comers. That was followed by no peace from the upperclass- men for two weeks until that wonderful day when the frosh defeated the sophomores in the traditional pushball game, enabling them to become accepted members of KSU. The campus wheels had themselves a heyday acting as frosh counselors. The first orientation tour they gave to the freshmen was a jaunt to the Hub, followed by an order of double-double and o briefing on classes, profs, regis- tration, and what not to do. Student Court and the Tra- ditions committee took top honors in hazing. Dragging unsuspecting frosh up the stairs of the Union, penalties were dealt out for the grievious error of disobeying upper- classmen. The Prentice Gate seal really glowed that week. Registration day was the final blow . . . the newcomers breathed a sigh of relief when they were through braving lines and juggling classes around. Gripes were aired over umpteen million cups of coffee, yet it was the first step in making the freshmen a part of KSU. The time flew by and the road for the struggling newcomers was sudden- ly made smooth. It was just a short period of time, but one that will always be a source of humor and fond memories. Virginia Madden, 1952 frosh, is obout to burst into a smile for Prof. James A. Fosdick, who is taking her picture for her identi- fication card, one of the small parts of registration. Laughs and fun are part of interior decor- ating as Mary Ann Schweitzer, hanging up cur- tains, and her roommate decorate their room ot Moulton Hall. 75 Freshman week is quite an experience. Registration day is even more of an experience. After standing in lines all day waiting to sign up for classes for the first time, the frosh finally have reached the end of the road . . . paying their fees. Not wishing to wash the Prentice Gate seal or sing the Alma AAoter alone in the Hub, freshman Marylee Davis not only dinks nicely for upperclassman, Jim Monroe, she even accompanies her duty with o charming smile. 76 Ruth Green, freshman counselor, looks on as Dean Elizabeth A. Seeger signs an autograph book for a frosh at Meet the Faculty Night affair. This event, which was part of the freshmen week pro- grom, was another means of orientoting the frosh to Kent State University. Mary Elaine Long is making the freshmen girls feel more than welcome with her friendly smile and greeting at the President ' s Reception. Standing to her right are freshman Dolly George, Nelly Knott and Olga Miovac. Each year all the freshmen are invited to the President ' s home. Freshmen Week Highlights Dr. Loren S. Hadley seems to have had as good o time at the Freshmen Mixer as the frosh did. Here he was spotted introducing Lewis Logan and Harry Grin, standing to his left, to Lynn Wiley and Mary Lou Ange. Dr. Hadley sow to it that all the frosh had a gay time. Homecoming Queen Arlene Duricky, sitting, and her two attendants, Beryl Miller to her left and Becky Merrill, to her right, make a lovely threesome at the Homecoming Dance. The Delta Zeta ' s Merry-Go-Round Homecoming decoration whirled the DZ ' s right to the sky, and they floated back down to earth with a beautiful gold trophy for first place honors. 78 The stadium was jammed and the game was a thriller. Returning alums came back to cheer for their alma mater and although we lost the game to Ohio University, the enthusiasm that was scattered all over the campus before the gome began lasted on through the end of the festivities. Homecoming ... the Day of Days Homecoming . the day old friends come back to their alma mater and relive their college experiences all over again. It is a day that pulls at the heart strings of every Kent Stater The 1952 Homecoming Day was perfect; enthusiasm was bubbling over and people poured into the stadium all prepared for the Homecoming game. Returning alumni could be seen all over the campus greeting former classmates and friends, and students were excited simply because it was Homecoming. The town was dressed up in the latest fall fashion to greet every one; sorority and fraternity houses were the meeting places for members and friends. The spirit that is distributed on this special occasion could never be replaced. It just seems to shout, Welcome, all. 79 Remember When . . . Ike won and what a night that was at KSU. Radio students were broadcasting results over WKSU-FM; journalism majors were jammed in 109 Merrill and running around with cameras to shoot pic- tures; dorms were ablaze with lights while every- one huddled around the TV sets. The Kent Stater staff, sleepy-eyed but still raring to go, set out for the print shop at 5 o ' clock in the morning to put out the Stater. No one hod much sleep that night. Woody Herman and his Herd really played some cool music when the one-time King of the Clar- inet gave his concert here last spring. Woodrow Wilson had his third herd with him which he or- ganized on the west coost and his main highlights were Nat Pierce, on the piano. Chubby Jackson plucking the bass and Sonny Igoe playing his crazy drums. The concert climaxed with a medley of old songs such as the Woodchoppers Ball. The Red Cross bloodmobile completed a successful blood donation campaign when they collected 164 pints of blood at KSU this fall. This total com- prised the third largest donation ever gathered in Portage County. An unusual feature of the cam- paign was that 90 of the 164 people giving blood were doing it for the first time. The smile on the student ' s face shows that it isn ' t as painful to give blood as some people seem to think. 80 Prof. Andrew Paton, industrial arts, and Prof. James Holm, speech, standing on each side of Major Alexander de Seversky, listen interestedly as de Seversky explains about U S. Air Power. . Major de Seversky spoke to the KSU student body fall quarter about the strategics and tactics of aerial warfare. A noted world authority on air power and an aeronau- tical engineer, de Seversky emphasized that secret weapons and atomic bombs would not win the next world war unless we first possess a strategic and powerful Air Force. Seated left to right, the four pretty mermaids are: Terry Rutherford, Pat Mueller, Jean McEntee and Betty Rath. When this picture was taken, the girls had just finished o perform- ance of the Shark ' s Club fourth annual water show last spring quarter. The aquatic antics were bosed on the theme, Fantasy, followed on the productions and music of Walt Disney stories. 81 Not only the gals get flowers at a dance. Boutonnieres ore still in style. Andy Branik and Mary Lou Hartle seem to be preparing for a good time at the All-Greek Alpha Phi ' s Made Their Debut The park was pitch black. Not a single figure moved within its shadowy interior. Suddenly lights began to flash on. Cars whizzed through the gate and then pulled up in front of a ball- room. Inside water bubbled from the color-lighted fountain. At the opposite end of the huge dance floor, the band began to play. The date was Jan- uary I 6 at Meyers Lake. It was the All-Greek dance At intermission, 35 Alpha Phi pledges were presented to KSU ' s Greek society. The debuting coeds walked down the long floor one by one. As each reached the bandstand, she received a long- stemmed rose, then stepped into the semi-circle of girls there. The presentation was completed by a serenade from their brothers, the Sigma Nu ' s. The dance continued. Frothy gowns contrasted with the darkness of tuxedos. Watch dials showed mid- night. Cars whizzed through the gate. Lights blinked out. The park was pitch black. 82 The long-awoited night finally arrived. Alpha Phi pledges were presented to the Greek members of KSU. With the crowd looking on, each coed walked the length of the floor with Alpha Phi actives standing in a line on each side in traditional fashion. Coeds waiting their turn, standing left to right, include; Joyce Fulton, Louise Kilar, Nora Ann Davies, LaDonna Huey, June Dickerson and Frances Gordon. Walter Maimer seems to be the center of attraction here as he gets ready for camera- action. While his subject, Pat Ulmer, poses prettily, her escort. Jack Kovoch, looks on warily. Wally ' s date, Beverly Buell, seems to be fascinated with the mechanisms of the camera. Couples were not only seen blinking at flashbulbs, but also roaming around the dance floor to see their friends and where their Greek banners were hung. 83 Jokes, Legs, Laughter . . . Pork Barrel Moulton hall took top honors again in this year ' s Pork Barrel making it the third year in a row they ' ve come out on top in the Women ' s Independent Group. Sigma Delta fraternity ' s chorus line didn ' t look much like the Ziegfield follies, but it brought plenty of laughs from the observing audience. Stopher hall ' s Duel in the Sand skit odded another trophy to the collection already ac- cumulated by this Men ' s Independent group. Alpha Phi ' s Rhapsody and Rhythm theme placed the chorus cuties in third place for the sorority division of Pork Barel this year. Last year the Delta Gamma ' s had all sorts of little bugs in their Pork Barrel skit. This year they had all sorts of pretty girls in their skit. What a pleasing extreme to go to. The theme of their musical performance was Rainbow Rhapsodies. The Phi Bete ' s went all out for their musical skit with mesh hose and fancy garters to make it complete. Although the Sigma Delta ' s did some fancy dancing, Delta Upsilon, Phi Gamma Theta and Kappa Sigma took the honors for the top three MMMiit :i3 ; Delta Upsilon was rated first in the fraternity division with their performance of Slaughter on Fraternity Row. A rollerskate- replaced the glass slipper and the Chi Omega ' s glided to first place in the sorority division with the skit, Cinderolla. Starting off his performance at the Top Hop, Billy Farrel chatted and just made himself right at h:me with the Kent State audience be- fore he started to sing. With Deke Moffitt ' s orchestra supplying the background music, Forrel sang some of his best songs such as You ' ve Changed, Circus, and many others which hove skyrock- eted him to the top. Billy Farrel goes all out to give Elaine Horn a kiss after she is crowned Miss Kent State ot the Top Hop. He liked it so well, he went back for a second. The Ladd Sisters were on their way to Cleveland to do a show, and as a favor to Deke Moffitt they stopped at KSU first and put on a performance at the Top Hop. 86 Some couples were hum- ming, some were keeping time to the beat of the music, and some were just looking on. But it ' s a safe bet that everyone was mighty keen on the show the Ladd Sisters gave. Standing left to right, at- tendants Jan McGarr, Jean Fenton and Mary Elaine Long congratulate Elaine Horn, Miss Kent State. Elaine was chosen on the basis of her scholarship, campus activities and beauty. Corsages, Boutonnieres, Top Hop Cars pulled up in front of the dorms and men stepped out dressed up in their best suits. Inside the dorms girls were running around trying to get someone to zip them up and put the last finishing touches to them. Rushing downstairs they tried to remember to put 1 :30 in the remarks column and to sign the donee list. Dates exchanged compliments; and corsages and boutonnieres crossed hands. Everything set, they were on their way. It was February 28 and the annual Top Hop was being held once again. The Top Hop is just starting as Ann Butler and Len Reinker get their tickets to go inside. Once inside Deke Moffitt supplies the music and the Ladd Sisters have the floor with their song and dance routine. After Billy Parrel sings and the queen is crowned, the dance is soon over. Seen leaving are Bill Englehart and Jean Marino. Left to right are Col, William G. Workman, commanding officer of the Air Force ROTC at Kent State, Mrs. Workman, Mrs. Mon- dell, and Lt. Col. Frank C. Mondell, com- manding officer of the ARMY ROTC here. Joe Franko presents Honorary Cadet Colonel, Patricia Ulmer, a bouquet of flowers on be- half of Delta Upsilon fraternity at the Mili- tary Ball, Standing with Pat and Joe is Maynard Buck. Gordon Beatram is pinning Eleanor Horvoth ' s corsage on as they prepare to leave. Like many other couples, they hated to see the dance end Tex Beneke not only concentrated on leading the band, playing the sax and singing, but also on signing autographs for KSU students. The Military Boll was Tex Beneke ' s first ap- pearance at Kent State since taking over Glenn Miller ' s band. His vocalist was Joan Kovanaugh, Col. Workman was as interested in taking pic- tures at the dance as the Burr photographers were. Wonder who his subject was here? When the Army and Air Force do sonnething, they do it right. The huge crowd at Meyers Lake and the comments about the dance next day proved that the Military Boll was the most successful dance held this year. What A Ball! The Queen for a Day festivities ended in about the nicest way they could when Pot Ulmer, Honorary Cadet Colonel, was lead through the arch of sabres on the arm of Maynard Buck, chairman of the Military BalL Couples could close their eyes and almost think they were lis- tening to the great Glenn Miller band again at this year ' s Military Ball. The floor was packed with couples dancing to Tex Beneke ' s music About the only way the dance could be truthfully described is simply by saying fabulous. When 12 p.m. rolled around, Kent State students realized what Cinder- ella felt like at midnight, because just as she didn ' t want to leave her Prince Charming ball, they hated to leave the Military Ball. 89 The Air Force ROTC faculty went all out for Professor ' s Pork Barrel. Their skit was a satire on the ROTC department lin- ing a curriculum and dealing with students. In this scene they were in the final phase of their act, which was to operate a mimeo- graph machine like a plane. Rounding out the final part of the program in Professor ' s Pork Barrel was a square dance group headed by Dr. Ralph E. Hart- zell, head of the school of music. This is the third consecutive year the KSU faculty has put on this benefit variety show to get funds for WSSF. Professor ' s Pork Barrel The Women ' s HPE group brought plenty of laughs when they did a take off on the life of an HPE major. Mr. Louis B. Krch, instructor of music, presented a violin solo of Humor- esque and several gypsy melodies. % V, Jerry Rice and Margie Meyers, as Hansel and Gretel, are doing an excellent job in this scene of portraying fear of the witch, Mary Stephenson. This year ' s children play, Hansel and Gretel, had every child in the audience sitting on the edge of his seat with owed expressions on his face. They loved every minute of it. The purpose of the Freedom-grams which Becky Merrill is tossing in the oir is to bring truth to those who are deprived of it. Becky was chosen Freedom Girl and presented at the Alexander Jordon assembly January 29 in the Crusade for Freedom drive. This drive was held to help Radio Free Europe battle world communism. The annual presentation of Handel ' s Messiah is something that always perpetuates the spirit of Christmas throughout the campus.

J pedal suites on L c r avviDUiS ipi Since 1913 when Kent State Normal School was taking its first steps towar d college society, one of its main goals was expansion. In that 40-year interval, it has become an influ- ential center of learning and has grown from a tight little nucleus to a living community. While the ivy was continuing to grow thicker on such buildings as the Atrium, Kent hall, Merrill hall and Lowry dormitory . . . more and more buildings were being erected. The expansion program was a series of ups and downs, due to the ever increasing enrollment and World War ' s I and II. After the needs for basic buildings such as dormitories and classrooms were met, other structures such as the Student Union, Men ' s Physical Education building and Art ' s building sprung up Even now Kent State is following the pattern for expansion. A new women ' s dorm is being planned, and other projects are being set up to enable KSU to have enlarged classroom space and more colleges. The military aspect, dormitory life and campus tradi- tions have been enlarged upon. Particular places begin to mean something, and even as the campus expands and more people become a port of it, the feeling that we hold for Kent State University, small or large, remains the same. 100 Today Lowry ' s cafeteria hos all the modern conveniences. 101 Classmates Today . . . Army men have made their appearance on the KSU campus since 1943 when the War Department brought 500 Army pre-f light students to the campus to help win World War II. The unit left in 1 944 only to be followed three years later by the Army ROTC in 1 947 and the Air Force unit in 1 95 1 . ' Hi - ■: XS ' . t ' ' y Protectors Tomorrow . . . Under the command of Col. William G. Workman of the Air Force and Lt. Col. Frank C. Mandell of the Army, Kent ROTC cadets ore taught the tactics of modern warfare to enable them to protect their country and their people. Seeing the hordes of men every Tuesdoy and Thursday in their uniforms has become an accepted occurence with KSU students, and they joke about it fre- quently. Yet deep down in everyone ' s heart, there is a feeling of pride. For these men who ore our classmates today may be fighting to protect us in Korea tomorrow. 102 One United Purpose The color guard symbolizes the spirit of the ROTC cadets in the Armed Forces, who are proud to serve under the flag of the United States, These cadets will someday be officers in the Armed Forces and will be standing for one united purpose . . . the freedom of America and through the United Nations, the freedom of the world. 103 Lt. William T. Mason, pointing to the globe, is lecturing his students in an Air Force ROTC class. Perhaps he is telling them that the world is not as large as it used to be, simply because modern aircraft con travel to any place in the world today. Left to right, Army cadets, Erwin Boulding, K. Chafee and Jim Elliott are listening while Maj. William Neal explains protective fire with a ma- chine gun. He is showing the cadets the use of a clinometer which will show the elevation of a machine gun. Fk] KHi Trilvi:r.lll,| llii:lll(«l l.y ..i pl.iliinli TilU|l)t I mil;. o nunc iii wliii ■ ■ r 104 The squads advanced and the bulls looked on. This was the ROTC cadets ' second obstacle in the mock battle. A few minutes before, a herd of horses had delayed the offensive. Modern Warfare Tactics ROTC student Vaughn Jyurovat waits for his orders as Lt. Gene Newton talks to the commanding officer, Lt. Col. Frank C. Mandell, on the PRC 6, a new model of the walkie-talkie. Marching down the streets on the outskirts of Kent, ROTC cadets were being careful to obey all commands as they proceeded to the point where the first mock battle of the year was to be held. Cigarettes were hastily put out, and silence prevailed except for the sound of orders and the tramping of feet. The pur- pose of the battle was to give the cadets practical experience in warfare tactics. The unit was divided into defensive squads who were to save the town of Kent, and offensive squads who were to break their line of pro- tection. The three-hour drill ended with a critique when the cadets were told what they did wrong. Much practical training was gained and at the same time, it was fun and something the cadets talked about for weeks. 105 A Variety of Experiences Dorm life . . . gaiety, laughter, tears, troubles, homework, bull sessions, the smoker, bridge, and most important, friends; it is the one phase of college life that not only provides a variety of experiences, but also a heart full of memories. The Homes Away from Home Each dorm on campus holds a different signi- ficance for its inhabitants. Moulton is a symbol of youth and enthusiasm. Lowry is a symbol of fun, yet reservation. In Englemen the whole atmosphere is different. The en- thusiasm is ever present, but the reservation is more prominent. Stopher, the men ' s dorm, is a combination of all three; the frosh come in, mature and leave. In our four years at KSU, these dorms become our homes and when the time comes to leave, it ' s as hard to leave our new dorm homes as it was to leave our own. 106 A Typical Dorm Scene Dormitory bull sessions are on experience in themselves. Everything is hashed over from the latest love problems to religion. They ' re usually interrupted by phone calls, jaunts to the smoker or time out for food and partying. The 1 1 p.m. quiet hour puts an end to it all and around midnight, studying finally begins. 107 The Student Union was ablaze with lights, and soft strains of music floated out through the windows of the ballroom. KSU men were dressed up in their best suits, and the women made a lovely sight in their frothy formois, scattered in the ballroom and lounge. It was the night of the Moulton hall formal, the freshman highlight of Winter Quarter. Perhaps Mrs. Ethel M. Russell, house- mother of Lowry dormitory, is giving some last-minute advice to sophomore Mary Ellet. Under Mrs. Russell ' s super- vision, Lowry hall is the only dorm on campus which operates under the honor system. This plan is followed by all the Lowry coeds and has worked successfully for the past three years. Sitting left to right on the bed, Elaine Neilson, Elaine Oliver and Ernestine Sigle portray a typical scene at Moulton hall. The three freshmen are having a dorm confab, a frequent occurence of dorm life. Since Moulton coeds have to hove their lights out by 11:30 during the week, they make-up for lost conver- sation on the week-ends. Lowry dormitory coeds Carol Miliar and Marie Vender gaze approvingly at Jean McKissick OS she models her new formal for them. The whole atmosphere dis- played in the room is gaiety and laugh- ter, something that is seldom missing in dormitory life. Everyone is interested in everyone, be it for troubles or for fun and recreation. Warm Friendship . . . Stopher Although Stopher hall houses 275 men, it can boast of a fellowship rarely found in such a large dorm. At ail hours of the night people are wandering around either studying together or having a friendly conversation. This group around the piano either are musically inclined, or else they ' re just having fun. The men, left to right, are: Robert Hall, Gerry Walsh, Donald Sable, Ric Perez, Donald Harting, Stan Ruley, Warren Bush, Fred Kein- schmidt and William Farling. 110 Musicians, radio-men, journalists and artists . . . Stopher has them all. Here, Stopher men, left to right, Stan- ley Bujak, Donald Selders and Thomas Pittinger, all seem to be admiring the piece of art work. It must be nice to have such talent. Ric Perez is about to give up. He just can ' t concentrate on economics ond listen to Stan Kenton at the same time. Don Harting is fussing with the radio so that Kenton ' s music will sound clearer while Joe Hazen, fixing his tie, is keeping time to the music. Ill Mary Haynes is occomponying Donna Klein and Irene Gulyban, left to right, as they practice for an audition in the music room of Merrill hall. The cornerstone of Merrill hall was laid July 1 8, 1912. It was one of the first buildings erected on the KSU campus, and through the years it has watched Kent grow into a leading Ohio University. An Old and Familiar Building Although Merrill hall is one of the oldest build- ings on campus, the courses which are offered within its portals are expanding as rapidly as KSU is. The classrooms and officers are familiar to all the Liberal Arts students, and many hours are spent within this building. The Kent Stater office is a popular stopping place for most of the students who are interested in the current affairs of KSU. The Public Relations and Duplicating offices see new faces every day, and whenever a world-shaking event occurs, the journalism lounge is jammed with spectators viewing television. Merrill hall is a familiar building which is held in warm re- gard by the students of KSU. Grandfather of Them All . . . The grandfather of all Kent ' s class build- ings is Kent hall, founded way back in the early days of the college ' s history. Grandma knew the place as a haven for education majors who had all of their classes there. But as the school began to grow, Kent hall expanded with it. Today, it houses the rehearsals, the stagecrew and the plays of the Little Theater group, orations of debaters from the speech department, the endless attempts of Spanish, Italian and French students, and the aroma of home cooking from the home eco- nomics department. What ' s cooking? is the question in most students ' minds as they poss the rooms of the cooking class in Kent hall. This area with all those delicious and appetizing aromas in- duces some to stop and peek in the door, and makes others want to run for the closest restaurant. Many quiet moments owcy from KSU ' s crowded and noisy halls are spent in the Reading Room of Kent hall. Set up as an aid to students of the Home Economics dept., there are many magazines and articles that coincide with the Home Ec student ' s daily homework assignments. Unseen and unknown by the mojority of students, is the carpenter ' s shop located under Kent hall. Here they produce shelves, drawers, bookcases and other wood products. William Lull, cabinet maker is now working on small remodeling jobs. The animal room, one of the many experimental labs located in McGilvrey hall, provides students with an invaluable means of supplementing book learning with actual experi- mentation. Scientists ' Haven . . . McGilvrey A good word to describe McGilvrey hall would be fascinating. The building with the winding corridors was dedicated in 1940 to be used sole- ly as a science building. McGilvrey not only houses 13 classrooms and 41 laboratories, but also offers the use of modern lab equipment which provides a versatility in the field of science that reaches into many areas of modern civilization. In addition, the students have access to a science library located in their own building. This vast building, looking toward expansion, prepares many college students for the various phases of work in the field of science. ' 4- J This instrument, a grating spectogroph, is a recent addition to the chemistry de- partment and is used in the analysis of non-ferrous alloys. Prof. J. Cleve Carroll is teaching the students some of the details involved in the use of the instrument. A popular center for McGilvrey hall scientists is the reading room which houses books on every phase of science. Through the texts and magazines offered here, students may gain more knowledge about this ever-seeking field. n 5 A purely educational interest in figures induces many KSU students to enroll in the figure draw- ing class. Classes such as this one for beginning artists offers exceptional training for future post- graduate work. Machines and Easels Dominate the Arts Building There isn ' t a better place to find art on the campus than the Arts building. Opened in 1951, it houses classrooms for fine arts, industrial arts, and occasionally an Eng- lish class thrown in for good measure. Here, that creative class of people known as art- ists find solace and relaxation Anyone not in their group might be puzzled by some of the geomet- ric figures which dominate some of the rooms. However, the artists love every part of it. To them it is their second home. Admiring the work and toils of some of the greatest artists of all times is a pastime for both students and faculty. The faculty work displayed here gives inspiration to many. There ' s more to flying a plane than just being able to work the controls. The aeronautics class learns the mechanism of planes and they are taught to assemble and repair them The Pride of the Campus If this building could only talk, what sto- ries it could tell! The basketball games when everyone was on the edge of his seat, the dream-filled Homecoming dances, wrest- ling matches, swimming meets, tumbling ex- hibitions; all these, this building has seen. What other building on the campus can show in pictorial form how our school has grown in education and in athletics? These pic- tures show the expansion and modernization of KSU athletics through the years, while the walls in themselves mark the advancement and high standards of the school today. This $1,330,000 building is a far cry from the facilities of 40 years ago. It knows few peers. in the mid-west. When a tumbler tumbles It always looks so easy, but when an Inexperienced Individual tries it, he Is likely to fall flat on his face or end up with a few stiff joints! Training and co-ordination are needed to try the tricks of this class. In 1950 another dream was realized at KSU when this modern MPE build- ing was completed. Now a recre- ational and educational center, this building features a huge gym floor, swimming pool, lockers, modern of- fices ond o seating capacity of 10,000. 116 From morning until night the Hub is a mass of humonity. Some stop in for a cup of coffee double-double and a few words with their friends, while others get the latest hit tunes on the juke box, as this group is doing. A Hub of Activity ... the Union When girls live in Engleman hall they eat in the Union cafeteria. Over a good cup of coffee they forget their worries for awhile. Sleeping, studying or relaxing are but a few of the lounge activities. This group around the fireplace is a ■typical scene. Back in 1949, Kent Staters migrated from the utter confusion of the old barracks Hub to a huge, new student center . Today, game rooms and bowling alleys buzz; upstairs, meeting rooms echo the motions of cam- pus organizations. The lounge is a meeting center, and at times in a busy student ' s life, a place for resting. Problems of the world and life in general are solved over coffee cups and coke straws in the Hub. Student and faculty dining rooms are also found in this busy campus building . . . the Union. 117 Styles may change as time goes on ke { [ a reek . . As the campus expanded and began to look more and more like a University, another phase of college life entered the picture. It was the appearance of fraternities and sororities. They started slowly at first, but before long national organ- izations began to creep in, until today there are 16 national Greek social organizations on campus. What is it about Greek life that attracts and holds so many year after year? Why are they so willing to pay dues and work for these groups? Could it be man ' s basic need for companionship? ' Is it the feeling of pride they get from watching a brother or a sister make good? Could it be those memorable hours spent working on such projects as Home- coming or Campus day? Is it the fuss and confusion of rush parties? Could it be the thrill of wearing an active pin for the first time? Is it the spontaneous laughter of an old shared joke or the hours spent Brady-sitting to settle the world ' s problems? Or is it the sense of belonging that comes from liking people and being liked in return by them? Whatever that unknown factor is that binds a group of individuals together the moment they don a pledge pin, it stays with them throughout their entire life. And when they return to their alma mater as alumni, it is like coming home. 118 But traditions of the Greeks remain the same. 119 ALPHA EPSILON PI Al Korman gets a rude awakening with water from loyal brothers Earl Pollack, Jules Braun, Ed Berlin, Roy Berko, and Bill Bloch. Alpha Epsilon Pi installed a Phi Deuteron chapter at KSU. Three years of hard work paid off in April 1949. The guys decided to make a fast climb up in the world. They bought a house that is way up close to heaven. After climbing umpteen steps, they reach the front porch. Social life is bigger than ever at their Main St. house. Pseudo-Parisians flock there for an annual French party. Levies and flannel shirts are in order at the Wild West. Semi-annual pledge trips have become traditional. Fall Quarter, the Stater editor was an AE Pi pin wearer. The Senior class treasurer also sports the rectangle. Who ' s Who ... lists one of the AE Pi brothers this year. They battle the neighboring Delts for parking places. Scholastically, AE Pi has always been near the top place. They heartily claim they aren ' t bookworms, however. The treasurer of Blue And Gold is another AE Pi guy. 120 The determined-looking chess players around this table are Lee Cohen, Wolly Simon, Larry Tarletz, Lenny Hoffmen and Pete Weinberger.

Money was a scarce item in depression days. FDR hadn ' t yet been elected for the first time. The year was 1 931 . Kent State College had a new fraternity forming. Like almost everyone else, it ' s members were broke. They hoped to better college man ' s opportunities. They planned to help him in achievements. They called themselves Alpha Phi Beta fraternity. For 22 years they ' ve been realizing their dreams. The outstanding senior man is awarded by them. 1 946 was a banner year for the Beta boys. They became property owners with a new house. Finances had improved since the early dark days. Veteran students made the inactive, active again. 122 ALPHA PHI BETA Alpha Phi Beta is Kent State ' s oldest local fraternity. It doesn ' t seem as if they will hold the title for long The Beta ' s are anxious to become KSU ' s youngest national. Primary negotiations were made for the nationalization in 1952. Their sights have been set on ATO for quite a while By now, Alpha Tau Omega may have its sights set on them The chapter ' s outstanding graduate still receives the key One freshman coed is honored by Alpha Phi Beta annually She is trophied at the Beta Sweetheart Ball in the Fall. A Delta Zeta pledge won the honor for 1952 Sweetie. Kent Staters elected a Beta their most popular man in ' 52. They used to live in seclusion on East College Street. Now their neighbors are the Theta Kappa Phi chapter. The chapter president bought a pair of cashmere socks. He doesn ' t wear them; they ' re just a fond possession. They are proud of their past, and eager for a new future. The Lone Ranger rides again! Gene Buffo, Dick Cooper, Dick DeMars, Dick Glenn and Jim Littlefield are the intent video viewers. ir : -f Since the way to a man ' s heart is via his stomach, just one glance at these heaping dinner plates proves that the Betas really have big hearts. - y - v Btet r£ .; 123 DELTA TAU DELTA Time out for relaxation and toasts to dear old DTD complete another day for Thomas Duke, Bud Mays, Russ Glans and Jack Berrey. Delta Tau Delta accepted them as Delta Omega chapter. The 24-year-old Gamma Tau Delta was bid adieu. 223 E. Main Street became the new Delta Shelter at KSU. Since then it ' s been the site for many parties. The Delt motto is bigger and better trophies this year. Homecoming decorations featured a 22-foot-tall monster. He brought in their second consecutive decorations award. Their Trumpeter blasted Songfest hopes of other groups. That made it two in a row for Campus Day vocalizing. Delt BA majors keep the Stater ' s books in the black. Their first Delta Tau Delta sweetheart was elected in ' 52. She became a sweetheart of a sister-in-law this year. The chapter Veep heads the KSU Student Forensic Assoc. They tugged their way to the Phi Gam Regatta trophy. Four of the brothers are in the current Who ' s Who ...

He decided the It Girl really had it. The year was 1925 at Kent State Normal College. A group of college men organized a club. They called it the Order of the Midnight Suns. A year later they became a local fraternity. Gamma Tau Delta was the name on the signpost. November, 1 927 saw the Gamma Tau ' s go big time Sigma Tau Gamma, national educational, took over Kent State grew to a full-fledged University. It was expanding and getting modern. Some thought social fraternities would move in The farsighted Gamma ' s severed national ties. Hopes for social affiliation were behind that.

Olsen, advisor, Marion Moser, pres., Tom Pexton, sec ' y, Jim Weeks, vice pres. and Wayne McAfee, treos. Was Russia going to start a third world war? What were those communists trying to prove? How much would the UN take before striking? The year was 1 950 in a mixed-up world. Peaceful words written in the ' 40 ' s were nil. At Kent State University, the enrollment fell. Too many college men were doing police duty. A new fraternity was recognized by IPC, however. It was number 1 3 on the KSU Greek totem pole. People generally regard 1 3 as an unlucky omen. Chi Alpha considers it a symbol of achievement. Behind their rank as 1 3 is three years ' work. In those days, they were the Chiaipho Club. They determined to make a name on the campus. 126 CHI ALPHA Chi Alphas have refused to lessen their stride as a local. They ' ve continued to jump ahead on the Kent State scene. A non-discriminatory scholarship is awarded annually. It goes to a freshman selected by University officials. Chi Alpha annually honors three top graduating seniors The highest ranking one in each college is selected. Promoting scholarship is the project they enjoy most. They were close to the top in IPC ' s Scholarship Cup race Rowboat Regatta brought them their first trophy as a frat. They won the fraternity division rowboat race that day. Although for outnumbered, they did a terrific job in Songfest. Judges for the event ranked Chi Alpha number three. The baby Greeks hod their first birthday February. Chi Alpha is another one of the Main Street Greek gang. They hove lived in the house since their days as a club. They ' re another of the groups which plan to build.

Delta Upsilon was painted over the old KMK signpost. It was chapter 63 for DU; notional number one for KSU. The new Delta U ' s refused to rest on 30 year ' s laurels. They went right to work doing new and bigger things. DU Campus Day regalia includes brilliant gold sashes. Hell Week was transformed to Help Week for DU pledges. Worthy organizations in the Kent area receive DU help. It won local DU ' s the DU notional public relations award. They copped the all-University swimming title in 1952. Pet project at their house is landscaping the front area. They were runners-up for the intramural sports award. Homecoming Day they celebrated 30 years on the campus. The Chapter president is listed in Who ' s Who . . . for ' 53. DU K-Girl still dabs the K to start Campus Day rolling. They coached their sister Alpha Xi ' s to a Powder Bowl win.

The year was 1921 at Kent State Normal College. The campus was becoming very Greek conscious. Kappa Mu Kappa superceded the discussion gang. It was the campus ' s first Greek letter society. The administration did not go for the idea. KMK was fraternity in spirit; club in name. Their secrecy kept everybody content and happy. By 1923 the administrators changed their minds Kappa Mu Kappa came out of hiding to be legal. Skull and Crossbones was published by them. They donated the huge K behind the library. At one time KMK was famous for Stater editors. KSU was approved for national social groups. 129 Front row,: left to right, Anthony Angelo, Donald Petruzzi, Anthony Carmello, Al Mancini, William Eck and James Palermo.

After all, did she need a whole new wardrobe! ' The Paris designers ' new look was too expensive. Mom looked very good to Pop even in short skirts. The year was 1947 on the Kent State campus. The USA ' s male population was back from the war. A new social organization was chartered at KSU It was a club for Kent State ' s Catholic men. Fittingly, they called themselves the Friars. IFC recognition gave them a local frat status. Spike Jones and Vaughn Monroe gave concerts. Sponsored by the Friars, the music paid off. Proceeds were the Friar donation to the stadium. They topped any other group ' s contribution. By late ' 47, the local had petitioned a national. 130 THETA KAPPA PHI Theta Kappa Phi installed a KSU chapter in December, 1949 The national is a Catholic social fraternal group. Local Theta Kaps are noted for their progressiveness. On a national scale, they are among the best chapters. A high point average won the national ' s Scholarship cup. KSU Theta Kaps had the top point average of all chapters. They ranked second in national ' s efficiency ratings. A national pledge program was authored by KSU TKP ' s. Theta Kaps are always interested in sweater girls. They even hold a dance to honor one as THE Sweater Girl. Graduating brothers get a fond adieu at a Spring banquet. The Gold Cup formal is a Theta Kappa Phi tradition at KSU Pledges are kept busy cleaning the house on College Ave. The graduate with the top cumulative gets a trophy. Father Mulroy is one of their enthusiastic advisors. They repay him by helping out with things at St. Pat ' s. Dan Frolani, leaning against the wall, Barney Geidos and Elliot Adams are really straining their ears to hear Al Mancini ' s conversation on the tele- phone . . . must be interesting. Things are a-jumpin ' at the Theta Kap house tonight. Jerry Bacik, Ed Core, Al Sprague and Joe Schindley are hep for Tony Ferrato ' s music. 131 KAPPA SIGMA Here we have the kitchen queens of the Kappa Sigma house. Ted Kopf- man, Wayne Shugarts, cook in the apron, and Carl Sammt, receiving the plate of food, seem to be having a good time. Uhmm. Kappa Sigma fraternity accepted it in June, 1950. Their years of hard work were fulfilled. Kappa Sig ' s still waste attention on women and song. Their Frosh queen reigns over the annual Freshman Hop. A Sweetheart is chosen for their winter quarter formal. Kappa Sig pledges are famous for their Rascal ' s Romps. KSU ' s Senior class president belongs to that fraternity. The Stater had a Kappa Sig managing editor on Fall issues. Two Kent State brothers made Who ' s Who . . . for ' 53. Long range plans include blue prints for a new house. Burr fraternity editor wears a Kappa Sigma badge. A Kappa Sig pledge was elected to Freshman Men ' s Union. He was nominated by Nu-K in their political caucus. Kappa Sigma is a loyal member of the Blue and Gold party. A brother is standing guard over the Blue Key treasury. Another is making a big name for himself in campus politics. 132 New TV star, maybe?

POP WAS WORRYING ABOUT $$$ Standing on the stairs left to right are officers Carl Tyler, Ted Kopfman, Ralph Nuskewicz, Gene Jacobson and Bill Charles. The United States was sunk in a depression era. Kent State was an infant among U. S. colleges. The year was 1930 at Kent State College. An Independents club was flourishing on the campus. The Independents tired of being Independents. In 1931 they formed a Greek-letter fraternity. Its name was from the college ' s initial letters. Kappa Sigma Chi breezed into the KSC world. Members were noted for the brightest ties here. A concert in Modern Jazz became their tradition. Attention was divided for wine, women and song. Several songfest trophies proved the song angle. They decided to become part of a national group. In 1949 they decided to send in a petition. 133 Front row: left to right, Larry Dietrich, Andy Lokie, Curt Baker, Paul Callahan, Conrad Trigilio, Richard Bartfay and Buddy Roscover.

Left to right are officers Dick Johnson, vice-president of Sigma Delta; Dean Boose, treasurer; Art Getz, secretary and A! Best, president. That November day was still a year away. Even so, the elections promised to be big news. Harry would never whip a Republican, said Gallup. The year was 1947 in the United States. KSU had an extension branch in Canton, Ohio. Some of the Canton Kentonians banded together. Their purpose was to found a new fraternity. By 1949, Canton cousins transferred to the campus. The former Canton club was reorganized on new ground. It was christened the Sigma Delta social club. Sigma Delta gained local fraternity status here. Inter-fraternity council recognized them in 1950. As a club, they won the Campus Day float. They began working toward fraternity status. 134 i SIGMA DELTA Sigma Delta received IPC ' s okay in 1950. They moved in to a house opposite the stadium. It was inconvenient except during football season. Houses were scarce, but the Sig Delts tired of isolation. They now eat and sleep in the Alpha Xi ' s former house. They have sponsored two winners in Prom queen elections. So far this year they have copped two inter-mural seconds. As a local, they ' ve come in second in two float contests. Diversified membership is the big factor during rushing. They seek men of different abilities and interests. Sig Delt feels variety is the strength of any fraternity. Like most fraternities, they ' re looking to the future. Part of that future will include a new house at KSU. Sweetheart of Sigma Delta is honored at the winter formal. A second formal also highlights the year ' s social life. A Sig Delt scholarship fund is being established now. Ron Gross is singing to melodious strains from Marv Egler ' s uke as George Pedroff tries to concentrate on his phone coll. Lowell Busich seems to be the most comfortable of them all.

Tom Seppelin, nearby, is really concen- trating on that magazine. Sigma Nu national social fraternity accepted them. Sigma Nu hit the jackpot with their Campus Day float. For the second time in three years they took the trophy. Their ability in Barbershop harmonizing snagged another. Captain of the ' 52 Golden Flashes is one of the brothers. When a guy pledges Sigma Nu, he becomes a Scummer. He also gets mighty friendly with a big round name tag. Scummers and actives all hop at the pledge class dances. Co-Captain of the basketball squad wears THE badge The White Rose formal March 19 celebrates an anniversary. They racked up six firsts in 1952 athletic competitions. Again they were inter-fraternity athletic champions. They topped Kappa Sigma in their annual grid encounter. 262 Columbus Street is a depot for most athletic awards. They splashed with sister A-Phi ' s at an exchange party. A few of the brothers advertise for Canton Road Furniture. Tony Hellais, Chuck McGary and Joe Antenora believe in share and share alike, especially with the bathroom mirror when everybody is in a hurry getting ready for their dates. 136 1! 1 f-7i M -=- | P ' -=° ' ' L 01 t Hu Sfl ■M kiflFV V ' Mi n ,wiji Wk ' -4 ■ ' r l K JH I M - «■ H ' ' - 1 1 mm Ifl H Front row: left to right, Edward Person, Leon Torosian, Thomas Seppelin, Art Polen, Bob Andreas, Tony Helleis and Frank Toncar.

Sigma Nu officers seated left to right include: Jack Hughes, secretary and Jim Cuppy, president. Standing left to right are Bob Becker, vice-president and Neil Milford, treasurer. The year was 1 924 at Kent State Normal College. Delta Sigma Phi became the newest fraternity. The Delts traded pledges with their sisters. For one day the gals cleaned — the guys slaved. It was KSNC ' s second Greek-letter group. Their athletic ability put them up on top. Their lettermen outnumbered anyone elses. They took the intermural award 13 times. Returning War II vets began a KSU tradition. With Kappa Sigma Chi, they began a Gl Jug war. They monopolized the counter at the Brady. They used K sweaters to fill all the closets. They had one of the high group point averages. They were a local for a quarter of a century. 137 Front row: left to right, Paul Gessler, Robert Haxton, Dominic Colendangelo, Ron Rickard, Kenneth Wilson and Dave Bantz.

Seated left to right are John Berea, president of Phi Betes and Bill Bradfield, treasurer. Standing left to right are Don Brail, secretary and Bob Lynes, vice-president. It was his first no-red-ink day in years. President FDR was in the midst of a second term. The year was 1938 at Kent State University. Five men decided KSU needed another fraternity. They organized and Phi Beta Phi was on its way. One month later, the fraternity bought a house. They hung their beer mugs at 630 E. Main Street. Political circles were their stomping grounds. They were instrumental in forming the BG party. World War II interrupted a rapid expansion. IFC ordered all fraternities inactive at KSU. The war went on for four years, ending in 1945. Phi Beta Phi again began the upward climb. Enrollments grew; the chapter grew with them. 138 PHI BETA PHI Phi Beta Phi fosters strong hopes for nationalization. Meanwhile, all efforts are to expand and develop locally. The brothers participate in many key campus activities. Student Council president is a member of the fraternity. He ' s the second consecutive Phi Beta Phi Council leader. Blue and Gold is steered by the fraternity ' s president. Both the Stater and Burr staffs list many of them. Men ' s Union representatives have been elected from PBP. Blue Key elected several Phi Beta Phi ' s to their ranks. The group believes that variety is the spice of life. Membership is based on the individual, not a type. Last year ' s Duke of Kent winner took his trophy to PBP. University committees seem to be swarming with them. A green and white house across from the library is home. PBP circused with Kent underprivileged children last year. The kids were also guests at the annual Christmas party. Sitting around the fireplace at the Phi Bete house are Jeep Colendangelo and Don Brail, who are making merry as Bob Lynes plays his uke. Bev Buell, a visitor, is looking on. Bob Lynes and John Berea are having tea and a friendly conversation with their housemother, Mrs. Belva Condit, Phi Beta Phi housemother. Everyone seems to be having a fine time. 139 PHI GAMMA THETA John Jacklltz is making a futile at- tempt to study as brothers Herb Ryan and Curly Cline are trying to sing with Don Gibeaut as he strums a guitar. John finally retreated to the library. Phi Gamma Theta is still going and grovi ing with KSU. Nationalization is their goal for the near future. Phi Delta Theta is their choice; things look good for it. A Phi Gam financial aid plan helps qualified members. They sponsor the fraternity Tug-of-War at Rowbcat Regatta. They are enthusiastic about high group scholarship. That enthusiasm took the IPC Scholarship Cup for 1952. The Phi Gam Corduroy and Tweed is unique on campus. An April 21 banquet celebrates the date of their founding. Highlighting Winter quarter is their annual formal. Phi Gam ' s have been boycotting the Brady recently. They take great pride in good sportsmanship as a group. A child with a hearing deficiency is helped by Phi Gam. They pay for a summer of therapy at the KSU clinic. Phi Gam sponsors a Circus Day for deaf children annually. The social calendar is full the entire year with parties. 140 It ' s a common fact that a pie can be cut with a knife.

Seated left to right, checking their chapter notebook are Phi Gam officers Wayne McClure, treasurer, Gib Martin, president; Lodge Hanlon, vice-president and Bob Seaman, secretary. It was the first steak in a long long time. At last ration points were things of the past. Inch thick T-bones had been war casualties The casualties helped win peace treaties. The year was 1947 at Kent State University. A new baby was adopted by the KSU Greeks. Its birth certificate read Phi Gamma Theta. The baby ' s size and strength developed fast Sound organizational policies were its formula. Phi Gam picked an ideal time to be organized. KSU ' enrollments were beginning to skyrocket. Inactivity has strengthened fraternity spirit. Everything was favorable for their success. Phi Gam knew how to use their advantages. 141 Front row: left to right, Dick Reichert, Bill Wise, James McCormick, Anthony John Lombardo, Sam R. Cheraso, Clarence J.

Left to right are Dick Auth, parliamentarian; Clarence Kramer, Phi Kappa Tau member; Bud Ovington, vice-president; Bill Wise, member and Tony Martucci, treasurer. Gas rationing was at last a memory in the U.S. Tires were no longer black market premiums. The year was 1948 at Kent State University. The campus gained a new social club that year. The budding social organization was Phi Kappa. Its members were all transfer students. At Kent State, they met IFC rules as a club. The former prexy of Akron U Phi Tau ' s led it. Local fraternity status was granted in 1949. They held on to it for exactly one month. Why be local? was their $64 question. May 20, 1949 their question was answered. A speed record among KSU fraternities was set. They went national sooner than any others had. 142 i PHI KAPPA TAU Phi Kappa Tau national social fraternity pins appeared. They had been in hiding while IFC rules were being met. Actually the club and local status were mere formalities. The Phi Kappa men were Phi Tau all the way through. With 10 Ohio chapters. Phi Tau is the state ' s strongest. At KSU they made a big move to 417 E. Main recently. First place in inter-fraternity bowling went their way. They were runner ups for the 1952 IFC Scholarship award. Homecoming judges ranked their house decorations third. The big banjo almost strummed its way to that trophy. Each Spring their Dream Girl is honored at the formal. A dinner-dance is held in observance of Founders Day. Phi Tau domain scholarship trophy went to the KSU group. They finished second in inter-fraternity Softball wins. Alums are traditionally honored with a Homecoming dinner. They ' re young on campus but growing like a weed. The Phi Tau ' s join their brother Jim Nelson in making with the music. Jim is playing the piano while Tom McCall, Jim Smith, Lee Norton, Frank Barber, John Brodbeck and Phil Conti sing. Standing by Sam Cheraso as he plays the uke are John Anthony and Robert Bittinger who are trying to harmonize with Roger Vink and Jim Nelson, seated on the top bunk. 143 PHI SIGMA KAPPA Dick Seib is facing his opponent Dick Hottois in a ping pong battle, while spectators Chuck Bowdier, Don Foky, Mike DeSiberato, John Wright and Dick Mansell look on. Phi Sigma Kappa was installed at Kent State University. It is one of America ' s oldest social fraternities. The founding date on the national charter reads 1873. Kent State ' s chapter made it four for Phi Sig in Ohio. The local chapter took up residence at 128 Sherman Street. They don ' t intend to call the address home for long. Plans for building a new house are getting underway. Meanwhile, the present house is acquiring a new look. The second floor got a good painting over this year. A few coats of the same substance fixed up the basement. One of the brothers heads the University Social Committee. Another likes politics; he works on Council and Elections. Who ' s Who . . . lists three of Kent State ' s Phi Sigma Kappas. Several former members have returned here from Korea. A KSU coed is chosen as Phi Sig Queen each Winter quarter. She is presented at their all-University Snow Ball dance. 144 Bill Galvin watches and listens as his two brothers try a melodious piece together.

Standing are Dick Mansell, comptroller; Vince Ruma, treasurer and Bill Galvtn, sentinel. After all, wasn ' t the battle over and won? It looked that way in the year 1947 in America. At KSU men and coeds were beginning a new life. They got a first view of college in peacetime. Veterans were the main male population at KSU. A group of former Gl ' s planned a new fraternity. Organization as a club was the first step to it. Tau Kappa was the name they chose to go by. IFC recognition came in January, 1949. A name-split mode them Tau Kappa local. Local- fraternity status was fine for a while. Thoughts of nationalization began to make sense. They planned, they prepared, they petitioned. Their efforts brought fruit in May, 1950. 145 First row, left to right: Jim Lehner, Roger Johnston, Al Korman, and Roy Berko. Second row: Jim Weeks, Clay Freed, Al Sprague, Dean Boose and Alan Best. Back row: Jim Cuppy, Walt Sullivan, Bud Murray, Gene Jacobson, Bill Wise and Marion Moser. Left to right on the stairs are the officers of Inter- fraternity Council: Bob Saiser, president; Glenn Johnson, vice-president; Gib Martin, secretary and Ben McGinnis, advisor to the group. Hope for the ' Perfect System ' Without a doubt, the most important function of Interf raternity council is to regulate, integrate and make rules concerning fraternity rushing. By the proven method of trial and error, they hope to arrive at what will constitute the perfect rush system. The 26 representatives of the 13 Greek organiza- tions represent a numerical minority on campus, yet these men are the governing body for a group whose weight is felt in every phase of the University life. This organization was started in 1909 when the need for a governing body was seen. From humble beginnings, it has grown to a point where it now includes 59 fraternities, ranging in size from seven to 1 39 chapters. The local group here at KSU was recognized a part of the national set-up in 1925, but did not become active on campus until 1930. 146 Rushing, Rules, Procedures Year after year, Panhellenic Council has deter- mined rush rules, procedures, schedules and penalties for the eight-member sororities on campus, under the supervision of the assistant dean of women. Attempting to create the best rushing system possible, this year. Council set up a formal Fall rushing program with a less formal one for Winter quarter rushees. Three representatives from each sorority and their alumnae advisers are members of the group. As an incentive to high scholastic standards, Panhellenic presents an annual Scholar- ship cup to the sorority maintaining the highest point average. The award is made on Honors Day. In conjunction with Women ' s League, Cardinal Key and WAA, Panhellenic annually publishes a Freshman ' s women ' s handbook, The Kent Coed. Panhellenic functions as the governing board of all Kent State University social sororities and their activities.

Shirley Horner, Mrs. Heibling, Alpha Gamma Delta housemother, Treva Ew- ing and Linda Couchman are talking and listening to the latest in records. Alpha Gamma Delta was their choice for nationalization. They were once neighbors to the Gamma Tau Delta crowd. The address has been switched around twice since then. Home is now a big white house located at 126 Linden Road. Alpha Gam ' s have a pin in common with KSU ' s First Lady. In Campus Day float competition. Alpha Gam ranked second. The old lady in a shoe almost stepped on trophy ground. Aid to cerebral palsy victims is a philanthropic project. Spreads after Monday meetings at the house are tradition. Feast of Roses is the name given to an annual banquet. A Christmas alum-active reunion keeps everyone gabbing. Home Economics club president is an Alpha Gamma girl. Council secretary is also one of the Linden Road coed ' s. The secretaries of Boosters and Kappa Phi live there too. Alpha Gamma Delta had gals as Regatta and Prom finalists. One Alpha Gam is vice-president of KSU ' s Spanish club. 148 Joan Smith, Nina Weldy, Barb Rose, Jacki Scranton and Marie Ringley are just settling down to the relaxing part of the day and dinner.

Alpha Gamma Delta officers include: Treva Ewing, recording secretary; Nina Weldy, treasurer; Janet Hall, president and Shirley Horner, first vice-president. She dabbed rouge on her knees; Grannie groaned. The flapper-age was upsetting to Grandmothers. A new sorority zoomed on to the KSNC campus. Beta Tau Zeta ' s were beginning a long career. The year was 1925 at Kent State Normal College. The Zeta ' s spent 1926 planning to go national. Pi Kappa Sigma educational sorority took over. A merger with local Chi Delta highlighted 1939, Then everyone moved over to the Chi Delt ' s house. Sunday night bridge sessions jammed the house. They beamed on nine consecutive scholarship cups. Mother covered her knees again after the war. Pi Kap in ' 47 was last to drop national ties. Pi Kappa Delta became a national social group. 149 Front row: left to right, Joelda Delo, Kitty Fisher, Alice Taran- tino, Barbara Rizzo, Jinny Vasu, Joan Reed, Ann Johnson.

Her elders said she was on the road to hades. The year v ' as 1925 at Kent State Normal. Gamma Sigma Phi was born to the College campus. At the tender age of 1, she switched her status. Alpha Sigma Tau national became the name. Alpha Sig ' s celebrated their 12th birthday. Then they decided local status looked good. They brought the Gamma Sig pins out once more. They kept the campus roaring with escapades. They summoned the State Highway patrol once. They thought a prowler was in the bathroom. The Patrolmen captured one harmless mouse. They started the traditional Gold Digger ' s Dance. Gave male associations an annual financial break. 150 ALPHA XI DELTA Alpha Xi Delta took over the Gamma Tau ' s in 1948. They blew themselves out of house and home one night. It seems a gas fume and a spark made an explosive couple. They made another explosion on Campus Day at Kent State. Alpha Xi hauled in both the queen and float trophies. It was a hippity hop to the top on the float competition. Judges ranked them second in Homecoming decorations. They bowled them over for that second place honor. The Xi ' s moved into the former Delta Gamma house. So now they live in a big house on a big hill. As Castle kids, they slammed the Hannahs in a game. That game was their annual Powder Bowl grid encounter. One of their members is a big wheel on the WKSU-FM staff. The chapter president is among 32 Staters in Who ' s Who. They honored their new housemother at a tea last fall. Their social calendar is always jammed full of parties. Things are quiet at the Castle gals house this time. Carol Pohto is en- gaged in a nice, long telephone con- versation while Mari on Ferrel and Joan Reed study in the other room. She ' s a toughie. Lynn Jessup refused to move out of her nice, comfy bed, but Barb Rizzo, Ellen Voipe and Mike Hottenstein have other plans in mind. They ' re draggin ' her out. 151 ALPHA PHI Standing on the stairs, Kitty Keal, Bonnie Herst and Connre Wendt all seem intent on telling Jean Wetzel how to comb her hair. With advice from three girls, how can she miss? Alpha Phi began its Beta Omega chapter at KSU in 1948. Phi ' s take hearts in hand annually to benefit cardiac aid. The gang developed severe trophy fever and went wild. They set a record by copping three trophies in 16 hours. Phi Junior-Senior Prom Queen got her trophy at midnight. By 4 o ' clock that afternoon, two Regatta awards were won. Cardinal Key ' s Womanhood award was presented to a Phi. Delta Upsilon selected an A-Phi K-Girl for Campus Day. Kappa Sigma Sweetheart was also chosen from the sorority. Two Phi BWOC ' s are listed in the current Who ' s Who . . . Home is the house under the beacon light at 227 E. Main. In Homecoming decorations, Alpha Phi took third place. Two class scribes and Soph treasurer are Slap Bang gals. Council and Women ' s League posts were filled by them. All-Greek is sponsored as a debut for Alpha Phi pledges. The intricacies of tunnel construction intrigue Phi girls. 152 The Slap-bang gals are really get- ting slap banged here.

The kid was really living it up in her new era. Phi Lambda Tau was a baby Greek at Ohio ' s KSNC. The year was 1 925 at Kent State Normal College Mascot of the sorority was Passion, a dog. Tau pins were shelved by formerly proud wearers. National Alpha Sigma Alpha badges replaced ' em, ASA ' s white boots fad swept the entire campus. They lost a Stater-sponsored beauty contest. ASA finalists couldn ' t beat Margaret Stromberg. Maggie polled the most votes; she had four legs. She was a dog entered by practical jokers. ASA returned to local status as Alpha Omega National educationals were becoming passe here. After all, University status had been achieved. 153 Front row: left to right, Jo Dabney, Ellen Doscolo, Nancy De Nicola, Mary Poulton, Joan Cress, Anita Buergler, Pat Alixich, Faye Allen.

MOTHER WAS A FLAPPER . . . KSNC officials made No! their favorite reply. It was no to mama actions and to sororities. Mama like a true female ignored the male glares. Coeds wishing to go Greek smiled a Please? The officials gave up under the power of women. Alpha Kappa Phi was the first femme Greek group. Six strong, it pioneered the way for sororities. National educational sororities came to KSNC, Local AKP sent petitions to Delta Sigma Epsilon. The year was 1926 at Kent State Normal College. A Lollipop Hop took them back to pinafore days. That evening of regression was an annual riot. Severing national ties, they became Beta Gams. Beta Gamma was the last to go national social. 154 ALPHA CHI OMEGA Alpha Chi Omega adopted a new chapter in 1950. Last but not least they obtained their charter. Their Lollipop Hop was made a tradition. Pledges were given the job to make it a success. A national project is aiding the Cerebral Palsy Foundation. On a local basis, they raise money for research. All the members also work in Canton Cerebral Palsy Clinics. They still give parties for underprivileged kids of Kent. An A Chi took Homecoming queen honors in 1952. That same member is president of Panhellenic Council. They tied for second place in Songfest on Campus Day. Two girls made pretty attendants in the Queen ' s court. Another member is currently prexy of Lowry Hall. Sophomore class secretary wears an A Chi lyre. Another sister was elected junior class vice-president.

Gamma Phi Beta active pins replaced local pledge pins. Beta Zeta made its home in Kent October, 1947. They cornered the market on Penny Carnival trophies. It seems leis and sarongs didn ' t go out with Lamour. Kappa-Sigma-Nu Homecoming was a big event for them. Their gal was chosen queen by members of the 2 groups. They live miles up on S. Lincoln St., behind a lamp post. The isolationist policy in it is getting them down. A new house closer to campus sounds good to them. With none to buy, they plan to build in the future. May is the big month up at the Gamma Phi Beta house. For the whole month they plan May Day Relays. All independent and Greek groups participate in contests. The trophy rewards pie eaters, egg tossers and the like. Student Council has one Gamma Phi member within its ranks. Annual formals highlight the Gamma Phi Beta calendar. Angela Augustine and Spook Spuh- ler are watching their sister, Phyllis Green, as she combs her hair in the mirror, preparing for a big Saturday night date. 156 n Front row: left to right, Kay Georgelis, Angela Augustine, Lois Bruckner, Barbara Buchanan, Lois Miller and Mary Ellen Woodard.

Standing are Jackie Cox, vice-president and Ann Schiez, corresponding secretary. The ' 20 ' s Vi ' ere really roaring right along. During year six of the wild period, it happened. Theta Sigma Upsilon installed a KSNC chapter. Former Epsilon Theta co-eds got national status. An annual style show benefited local charities. They won a scholarship cup; got it at All-Greek. Athletic ability put the Theta ' s out in front. They trained for sports by decorating the house. A tea honored all sorority pledges on campus. TSU ' s were music minded maids about that time. Capturing the Kappa Mu Kappa songfest proved it. They regressed to local Theta Sigma Tau status Girls were pledged to Theta Sig in the morning. That afternoon they were made active memb ers. 157 Front row: left to right, Jan McGarr, Joyce Israel, Bunny Easter, Pat West, Mary Bunnell, Pat Lafferty, Nancy Nellis, and Beverly Buell.

It was aimed at mama and the national Greeks. Officials got accustomed to mom ' s indiscretions. They even decided Greeks were here to stay. Sigma Sigma Sigma, educational, came to campus. The year was 1926 at Kent State Normal college. Former Tri-Beta was first to become a national. In those days sororities gave steak roasts. One Tri-Sig reigned over the first Regatta race. She wore a sweater; tee shirts were daring. They got away from it all by renting a house. They viewed the campus from Summit street hill. After 1946 they became local Sigma Delta Sigma. An anchor hit them in the heart one year later. 158 1 DELTA GAMMA Delta Gamma installed Gamma Epsilon chapter in 1947. It got too lonely high on that windy hill on Summit St. A migration to Lincoln St. made neighbors to Phi Gam With new neighbors, they haven ' t had time to get lonesome. The Scholarship cups they ' ve earned prove they ' re brainy. The Powder Bowl game against Alpha Xi Delta upset them. Six local Delta Gamma girls are listed in Who ' s Who , . . Joe Mihalik has 60 girlfriends at the grey shingled house. Women ' s League is headed by a Delta Gamma this year. Election Committee ' s chairman is weighted with an anchor. One of the sisters was attendant to the Homecoming queen. For two years, DG gals have taken the Burr queen trophy. A DG is o wheel on the Allocations Committee.

Delta Zeta adopted their newest baby-chapter legally. The baby grand found a living room to rest its keys in. 1952 was Golden Jubilee year for the national sorority. Homecoming made it two consecutive DZ decoration awards. While other sororities went ' round, DZ copped the trophy. The Alpha Phi Beta ' s chose a DZ pledge as Frosh queen. Book worms squirmed at their all-University Ball. Happy Day school students are the pet help project. DZ gives films, records, and a Xmas party for the kids. Nationally, DZ donates hearing aids to needy children. The chapter president doubles as Panhellenic ' s secretary. Delta Zeta ' s Dream Girl is honored at the Rose Ball.

Standing are Margaret Walker, treasurer and Flo Lou Lawrence, recording secretary. Another era had come upon the world. Veterans were upping U.S. college enrollments. Akron Delta Zeta alums put their heads together. KSU looked good for a new collegiate chapter. Local groups were given the once over by DZ. In the end the decision was for colonization. Interviews with unaffiliated BWOC ' s followed. The alums supervised establishment of a local. Twelve strong, Gamma lota took its place at KSU. Panhel rules called for local status first. Gamma lota remained local for exactly 2 months. National officers taught them the ropes of it. They bought a baby grand; planned big things. A Roman lamp became their symbol in 1947. 161 Left to right, row 1 : Sue Hurd, Millie Kozer, Mary Kirk, Bar- bara Bodker, Carol Beckenbach, Sue Rankin, Larita Simcox, Barbara Conklin, Rick Arick, Dot Butterine.

Meanwhile a new local was added to the ranks. Koppo Lambda looked like a colonization group. Kent Staters gave it questioning looks. Suspicions were proven true two weeks later. The local kicked up her heels and went national. It became chapter number 100 for Chi Omega. It was Kent State ' s first notional sorority. The gals didn ' t have a house for Fall rushing. Phi Bete gallantly lent theirs for the cause. The arrangement worked out fine with 14 pledged. Later 31 1 N. Lincoln became home to the coeds. 162 CHI OMEGA Chi Omega ' s sang their way to a Campus Day trophy in ' 52. They displayed their muscles to take the WAA award. The chapter president also heads KSU ' s Junior class. KSU ' s high stepping lead majorette sings Go Chi O . . . The 1952 Engleman award for education went to a Chi O. Their Duke of Kent competition is a fund raising project. Proceeds buy silver, table cloths, etc. for the Union. Orchesis is led by an X and a horseshoe pin girl Pledges yelled their way to the Booster cheering award. One Chi Omega was an attendant to the Homecoming queen. Another sister was on the Kappa Sigma-Nu queen ' s court. The stand out sociology student is rewarded on Honors Day. The cheering squad boasts several Chi O bundles erf energy. Moulton is a second home; more darn counselors up there. The gals find time once per annum for an all-KSU tea. Chi O was a close runner-up for the Scholarship cup. Chatting over the day ' s events and washing dishes is one way to pass time. Ask Ginny Gleason, Marcia Hill and Lenore Danielson. Barbara Holmes, Lu LoMorca, Bar- bara Schuck, B. J. Calvin and Marcia Hill are letting out with the sweet notes to some soft Chi O melodies. 163 Yesterday ' s phofographer used a guess and a prayer. J4ctiviilex Beginning with 1920 when America was entering a boom period in activity and also in thinking, some of the activities of Kent students and faculty members were indicative of the attitudes and expectations that dominated our social picture. While expansion of Kent State was an enthusiastic subject and project here, new ideas for various organizations were being suggested. Every university needs organizations to create that sense of belonging, and KSU was rapidly working toward that goal. Today, campus activities ploy a big port of college life. They create a feeling of self satisfaction and personal pride when we see our work and efforts turn into the accomplish- ments that strengthen and fill any organization. These activities have a special meaning for each one of us, for through them we find the companionship of fellow students who ore all working toward the same goals whether it may be for social life or a small way of learning about the kinds of things we may hove to face outside of college. It isn ' t only the fact that organizations offer many of us a place to forget our studies and worries for a time; they also give us new experiences. This, combined with the feeling each shares, mokes these activities a big part of college life. 164 165 It takes practice, it takes patience, and it takes a will to make music. It all began for most members of the KSU orchestra several years ago when a doting mom or pop sot Sonny or Sister down in a chair, handed the favorite offspring an instrument, a page of notes and engaged the instructor. At first the results didn ' t sound like too much to the would-be French Horn player . . ... or to the aspiring violinist. After all, just one violin, unless played by a Menuhin doesn ' t produce too much harmony. But then comes the night when a former Sonny or Sis hears the woodwinds, strings, brass and percussion instruments put together. It is music in the Symphony manner. To some it is a little highbrow, yet to others it is the only true music; music that will last. 166 That last-minute tuning-up is done. All eyes ore watching the man on the ros- trum as he raises his baton. During the course of the rehearsal he may make one or two changes in the passages that don ' t sound right. If an instrument isn ' t tuned exactly right, he will stop and start all over again. When the performance is given, all will say, It was worth it! The Music That Soothes . . . KSU s Orchestra The smooth harmony and fluid notes of the KSU orchestra still soothe college students as they did in the days of Kent State Normal school when this organization was but a small volunteer group of ambitious musicians. The embryo orchestra, organized in 1915, consisted of only thirteen musicians. Until 1922 it ' s greatest contribu- tions to the school were its May Day performances. As the group Increased in size, it gave more performances and gained more recognition Combining forces with the glee club enabled it to present a much wider range of musical programs. It was in 1937 that the Messiah, combining vocal and instrumental talent, first thrilled a Kent State University audience. Since then the pro- duction has become a heralded Christmas tradition at KSU. Today, combined with musicians of local civic groups, the orchestra ' s performances are a bright spot on the university ' s social scene, looked forward to by both the University and the townspeople. It has a success story to be proud of. 167 Left to right, first row: M. E. Cross, E. Wernersbach, Mary Smitin, Ruth Buckles, D. Williamson, treasurer; P. Gage, D. Negro, president; M.

It Is Still Going Strong Both the Old and the New Thirty-six years ago, almost as long as Kent State itself has been in existence, a small group of people banded together to form the Home Economics club. This group, still going strong today, is now the oldest club on cam- pus. Through the years the club ' s meetings have been planned to include projects of a professional and social nature. Each year a group project, often of a charitable na- ture, is chosen. When graduation rolls around, a traditional Senior Honor Breakfast is given, at which time seniors are awarded a final proof of their domesticity . . . silver thimble. Chemistry is old, dating bock to the time when they tried to make gold from a mixture of chemicals, but the student affiliates of the American Chemical Society here on campus is new, having been organized in 1950. The purpose of the club is to provide intellec- tual stimulation and instill a professional pride in chemistry. The club sponsors many field trips, banquets, a spring picnic, and speakers and movies from leading industries. It gives students an opportunity to learn what is going on in the chemistry world and also gives them a chance to meet the most important men in their chosen profession.

A Gift of Gab . . . Forensics A Rose-Centered Pin, Sigmaphi Many people when called upon to make o speech feel like running for the nearest exit. This is not true of the fast-talking students who frequent 316 Kent Hall They are the members of the Student Forensics Association. Organized since 1913, the club handles all speaker requests for the out- side clubs and banquets This has a double value. It is a community service and provides members with experience. Debating plays an important role as also do the exciting intercollegiate tournaments. Vocal strength counts, and that has won them many conference championships and debate invitations. After their huge pink cloud of cotton candy floated the independent women ' s Penny Carnival trophy off in 1951, the theme song of Sigma- phi became, We d ' d it before, and we can do it again ... Organized in November 1950, to bring KSU ' s Jewish coeds closer together, Sigmaphi now boasts nine members. In their two years as a club, the gals with the rose- centered pins have originated several traditional activities. An open house for all Jewish students on campus heads the list. Following as close seconds are the tea to honor Sigmaphi parents and alums; and the dance sponsored annually for members. KSU coeds, who are now boasting the golden rose- centered star badges of Sigma Phi, have originated great many club traditions.

Girls ' Best Friend . . . Women ' s League When a coed leaves home to come to college, it is probably the first time she has ever been on her own. Though she may get a thrill from that feeling of independence, she still needs someone to fall back on. That someone is provided by the university in the form of Women ' s League. Acting as a guardian, it provides the bewildered freshman girl with a big sister. It also sets up rules and regulations to govern and protect dormitory women as well as those who live off campus. And if a girl breaks a rule, the League acts as judge. The membership is very large . . . the entire KSU coed enrollment! From this group are selected representa- tives. In addition to its role as parent, the League plans the Big-Little Sister Tea in the fall and with Men ' s Union co-sponsors both the Student and the Faculty Pork Barrels. Organized in 1923, the group is increasing in size every year From her freshman year until graduation day. Women ' s League is a girl ' s best friend.

And they ' re all men. That ' s a lot of men. In fact, the organization is so big that it can ' t have a house, a party, or even a dance. There ' re too many men to have the fraternization like one has in a fraternity. Men ' s Union was organized in 1922. It took the place of frat- ernities in those days. It ' s early years were ones of pro- motion. It supervised the intramural sports program before the university organized the Department of Intramurals. It sponsored an amateur night, which now has blossomed into the Pork Barrel. And it used to post news events on a huge bul- letin board between Kent and Merrill halls. The Kent Stater evolved from this. In all, the Men ' s Union used to sponsor twenty-three different activities. With its promotional days over, the Men ' s Union is still going strong as a sponsor of various events. Kent State University just wouldn ' t be the same without it. Seated: Edward Core, pres.; Deon Ray- mond Manchester, advisor. Standing; Jim Lehner, sec ' y.; Dick Granger, treasurer and Cal Ratcliff, vice presi- dent. These men rule Men ' s Union.

These women all carried the key. Key Coeds Don ' t Look For Headlines Behind the noise, lights, and glitter of Penny Carnival and Campus Day is a group of KSU women who don ' t get headlines and don ' t expect any. The group is Cardinal Key, a chapter of the national service organization. It limits membership to women who outrank their fellow students in character, scholarship, leadership and service to the University. Key coeds are responsible for many traditional KSU activities including Family Day, the Easter Egg hunt for the Kent children, and the Womanhood Award to the outstanding graduating senior. The name fits the group; it is a Key campus organiza- tion, one that seeks to develop character through the cardinal virtues of prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude. It advances religion, patriotism and service by giving leadership training in the college community. It is the Key that locks the door of ignorance and inability to succeed for many college women. Seated, left to right: Marilyn Hoyer, publicity; Janice McGorr, correspondence secretary; Shirley Welker, president. Standing: Miriam Derks, veep; Nora Mann, historian; Mary E. Cross, recording secretary; and Morcia Hill, treasurer. 172 Serving I Live ' Sparks Blue Key Left to right: Don Selders, treasurer; John Berea, president; and Ed Lanning, secretary. These officers of Blue Key were chosen to lead their fraternities in many compus activities. In college as in every other phase of life, there are those men who stand above others. Some have succeeded in the scholastic line. Others rote high in service to their school and still others are of exceptional personal character. A combination of the three makes a member of Blue Key. It is an organization dedicated to service. In achieving the aim, members have bridged the gop between student administration and civic leaders. They have provided an opportunity for the three to meet on the common ground of service to others, by living up to the motto, Serving, I live. Blue Key men aid in the annual Community Chest campaign, and the Crusade for Freedom drive. They co-sponsor Penny Carnival, with proceeds going to scholar- ships and charities, and Campus Day. As Freshman Week advisers, they help in the orientation of new Kent Staters, and continue their help by compiling and publishing the Student Directory.

Campus ' Gendarmes ' Keep Order Keeping the wolves away from coeds was once their main function in Kent State College life. Since the college has become a University, the coeds have de- veloped muscles, and the Police Force has become 1 1 -strong. It ' s 24-hour work day keeps traffic unsnarled, keeps property safe, and students out of trouble. Made up of former military and city police and deputy sheriffs, the department annually registers more than 6300 cars, including 4500 student-driven vehicles. Despite this huge volume of traffic, there has never been a traffic fatality on the Kent State campus. Although some know them only as the guys who slide yellow slips under the windshield wipers, the department actually plays a big part in keeping their community going and growing. Members of the court who decide the fate of traffic violators on campus are: Leono Davis, justice; Michoel Belyscak, justice; and Arnold Sharkey, chief justice. 175 Vigorous advocates of honest politics comprise the membership of NU-K political party.

Nu-K Restored Dying Campus Politics With buildings springing up on KSU ' s campus like mushrooms, o new phase of college life began to stir. Politically-minded students began to realize the need for more than one party, and in 1948 Nu-K broke away from the one original Greek group and formed its own or- ganization. Now a tightly-knit combination with the backing of some independent voters, it has pro- gressed rapidly in the KSU politi- cal field. A total of ten fra- ternities and sororities now be- long to the party. Through an- nual rallies and snake dances, the party urges everyone to get out and vote. And through its efforts the new Kent Party has rejuvenated interest and re- stored healthy vigor in Kent State campus politics. The bosses in politics wield great power. Here are the powers behind the power in NU-K politics. They are: Kitty Fisher, the vice-president; Joan Webster, secretary; Jerry D. Lowe, chairman; and Robert Seaman, treasurer. 176 The representatives of the sororities and fraternities affiliated with the Blue and Gold party are, from left to right: Moritherese Burr, Lore Wicke, and Betty Cressman. Bock row, left to right: Richard Stacker, Anne Wood, Alan Korman, Elaine Horn, Ralph Nuskewicz, Frances Sansotta and Bernard Komar. Experienced Politicians . . . Blue and Gold All out for better government at KSU are these Blue and Gold officers. They are, left to right, sitting: Jim Itin, president; Olive Hemming, secretary and Roy M. Berko, treasurer. Standing is the vice-president, Robert Smith. The Blue and Gold party, Kent ' s oldest political organization, showed all the verve and polish of experienced politicians when they distributed nail files having the humorous inscription, File your vote for Blue and Gold Blue and Gold is one of the controlling political parties of the campus and consists of eleven groups, five sororities and six fraternities. Originally there was only one political party on campus called Blue Star. After the Blue Star party had been known to be involved in a ballot-box stuffing scandal, some of the organizations broke away from the original group and formed the Blue and Gold party. This was 1946, and the party has grown by leaps and bounds since that time. 177 The Coffee Po t Perked . . . The office door was open, the coffee pot was perking, the radio was blaring, pictures and copy cluttered up the desks, typewriters were clicking like fury . . . The Chestnut Burr staff was finishing another signature. This group of people, giving up practically everything for a book that had become a port of them, worked unceasingly. With a brand new office which they referred to affec- tionately as the Dungeon, located beneath Kent hall, they worked at all hours of the day and night. Get something different in those pic- tures; make that copy alive; check those names, resounded in each staff member ' s mind. The book was always first. Quarters came and went. Home- work was regarded as something to put off until the end of the quarter. Personal and social life disappeared. Photographers and writers laughingly bickered over which was more important, copy or pictures Yet, their sarcasm was friendly and each respected the other ' s field. Editors were referred to as ogres . . . but each member of the staff went all out to do a good job for their Burr-heads. They worked until they could work no more, but they still kept at it.

The pressure was gone, the pictures had been taken, the copy had been written and the deadlines had been met. The staff walked around with an empty and let-down feel- ing, waiting for the day the book came out. That day finally arrived and anyone could have spotted a staff member a mile away by the mellow glow all over his face. The staff could relax and once more resume normal life, yet there were no wild celebrations. The coffee pot was put away for future Burr-heads, the radio was turned off, the editors cleaned out their desks and took one last look around the office which had been their home for the past year. Their book was finished. The office door was closed. Chestnut Burr photographers in the front row, left to right: Jinn Busch; Ron Moscati, editor; Don Shook, chief photographer; Richard S. Croy and Ed Nemecek. Back row: Sheldon Factor, Richard Dugan and Earl W. Swaney, picture editor. This group of photographers, through pictures and hard work, have enabled this yearbook to be transformed from a rough theme and an idea to a reality. They receive little glory. Their only reword is the satisfaction of o job well-done. 179 The Chestnut Burr business staff all seem to be en- joying Assistant Business Manager Bill Eck ' s conversa- tion over the phone. Seated at the typewriter is Mar- lene Frain, secretary. The other staff members, left to right, are: Gerald Dogher, Bud Murray, Lee Norton, Don Homleton, and Cal Ratcliff. Not pictured is Bob Klingensmith. The editorial staff standing left to right are: Bill Barrett, fraternity editor; Jean Ann Macan, art editor; Charles Miller, sports editor and Pat Cain, organizations editor. Not pictured is Tweet Burr, sorority editor. These staff members lost o lot of sleep worrying about the sections of the Burr for which they were responsible. Left to right are writers Joan Osborne and Pat Cain, and artists Shirley Jane Moore and Doris Eggert. Pete Dignan was in charge of public relations for the book and also judging of the Burr queen. Joan and Pat, both freshmen, spent most of their time in the Dungeon. They not only wrote for the book, but also learned the technicalities involved. 180 Burr typists sitting left to right include: Anita Ewing, Janet Dovidson and Shirley Reddinger, chief typist. Standing are: Do- lores Woomer, Peggy Paul, Bor- baro Clemens and B. J. Calvin. Under the supervision of Shirley these girls did an excellent job for the Burr. Even though they were sometimes called upon to work at o minute ' s notice, they always managed to be there when they were needed. A Various Assortment The Burr staff is comprised of a various assortment of personalities. There are the typists. They ' re the people behind the scenes. They aren ' t seen much, but without them, the Burr would never be printed. The advertising solicitors keep the money coming in. Then they tried to tell the business staff where it went. The public relations man had our name popping up in the Stater consistently. The writers and photo- graphers were supposed to be the creative staff members, but one would never know it by the way the editors growled ot them The editors . . they were distinguished from other people by the bags under their eyes They did the worrying. Yes, they were a various assortment But they hod one thing in com- mon . . . they all drank coffee by the gallons. Shape Up or Ship Out was the motto. Accuracy and dead- lines were the policy. These things were drummed into the ears of the Chestnut Burr writers until they could hear the snarls of their editors in their sleep. Seated, left to right, are: Jean Thigpen, Joan Reed, Joan Osborne, and Norma Hunter. Standing are: Carol Woods, Al Lowe, Tom Duke, Don Carter, Sue Leick and Lucille Braumiller. Not pictured ore: S. Farley, Hal Moyhew and Sally Delogrange. 181 Spring quarter last year found Fred Blankenship in the top Stater position. With the help of his managing editor Marge Choate, he made a great success of Rowboot Regatta. After graduation in June, Fred worked in Youngstown for the Youngstown Vindicator, but at present is in the U. S. Army. The curtains in the Stater Editor ' s office went up again when another female, Barbara Pickering, became editor during the second summer session. A Journalism minor. Barb was manag- ing editor the fi rst summer session when Joe Miller, now in the U.S. Army, held the position of editor. Election Day, November 4th, was a very opportune one for the fall quarter editor, Al Pashin. Al ond his staff worked all day and all night to bring out an early Stater edition that carried the final election results and scooped several local newspapers. The winter Stater editor, Ernie Mozza, experienced many big news stories in his 1 1 weeks of office. He was first to receive Bill Berzinec ' s resignation as Student Council president during his first week as editor. He again brought glory to the Stoter in the coverage of the inauguration. The Kent Stater Staff . . . Busiest man on the Stater staff well describes the Managing Editor. He is responsible for all the news in the paper and pinch hits when the editor is not there. Bill Barrett was the managing editor for the Stater last fall quarter; Edward Cliney, winter quarter; and Tom Fitzpatrick held the posi- tion last summer during the second session. Never to be seen without their cameras nearby, the Stater Staff photographers, Shelley Factor as chief photographer and Don Shook assistant, are always on the run. After the managing editor looks over the news for the day he determines the pictures needed and then gives each of the photo- graphers an assignment to cover. 192 3 KENT im They Look to Tomorrow An afternoon race with the clock to meet deadlines is an every day occurrence for Stater staff mem- bers. Seated in the slot: Julia Yeagley, and to her left clockwise are: Char Frolo, Carol Levens, Barb Dovidson, A! Pashin, Ann Lopane, Janet Mayhall, Bruce Limpus, Bill Barrett, Patricia Boehmer, Bill Miller and Bud Ovington. The golden age of journalism when reporters, editors and printers were ready to put out o special edition on a minute ' s notice seemed to be gone forever with the advent of radio and television. Today ' s newspaper life is more on the eight-hour day level, but the Daily Kent Stater staff brought back some faint memories by pub- lishing two Stater extras during the past year. Two 24-hour shifts worked under Fred Blankenship and Al Pashin ' s editorships. Fred put out the first Stater extra since the war when a robber broke into the regis- trar ' s office, and Al scooped all the local evening papers with the presidential election results. This scoop was followed up under Ernie Mazza when pictures were taken from the T-V screen and a rush engraving job was done on the presidential inauguration. The Stater once again beat the local papers with the first coverage All of this took place in the past year, but to members of the Stater staff, it ' s history. They look to tomorrow and another day ' s work. Four days a week, 33 weeks a year, these people live for week-ends. 183 From six members in 1940 to nine in 1953 may not seem like a large gain. However, Lambda Phi has grown from a local organ- ization to Theta Sigma Phi, a chapter of a national honorary. This journalism honorary has disproved the time-honored theory that women have no place in the newspaper field. Although their troop is small, they do a vast amount of work, sponsoring the Publicity Clinic, Rowboat Regatta booth, and coffee hour on Homecoming. Theta Sigma Phi members standing from left to right are: Maritherese Burr, Janet De Nobel and Eleanor Mann. Sitting from left to right are: Marilyn Race, Barbara Pickering, Anne Liberati, Mary Stanley, and Jo Harper, president. Symbols of Journalism Fraternities The members of KAM, the honorary photo-journalism fraternity are, sitting, left to right: Bill Sitler, Ron Moscati, Jim Busch, Don Shook and Sheldon Factor. Standing, left to right: Larry Carpenter; James Fosdick, advisor; Dick Dugan and Earl Swaney. Snapping the shutter isn ' t all that takes a picture. A knowledge of chemistry, art, diplomacy, courtesy, and composition are just some of the traits that constitute a professional photographer. Members of Kappa Alpha Mu have these qualities. KAM, the old- est national journalism fraternity at Kent, as- sembles the photographers on campus to further the art of literally clicking their way to a career. And a photog who clicks best is awarded the KAM trophy. 184 Making plans for their initiation into Sigma Delta Chi, professional journal- istic fraternity, ore the KSU officers.

Fisher and But- ler attended the notional convention in Denver, Colo, in November 1 952. The Camera and the Quill Sixteen years of continuing work ended successfully on Nov. 22, 1952 in Denver, Colo, for the members of Chi Pi, men ' s journalism fraternity. Their long-sought goal of affiliation with Sigma Delta Chi, national pro- fessional journalistic fraternity ended with unanimous approval of the Kent chapter during the national con- vention. The official installation took place on Feb. 14, 1953. Charles C. Clayton, editorial writer for the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, presided over the cere- monies. With a Freedom campaign, the KSU chapter immediately took up the national undergraduate theme of Free Bill Otis , an imprisoned AP correspondent.

There are ten in their membership roll and they hold meetings once a month. The actors and actresses, giving expression to the ' r talent that is so unique in all of them, present ploys in 1 1 9 Kent and the auditorium. Grease paint, gree:n rooms, sets and props are 24-hour per day interests to KSU ' s Univer- sity Theatre crew. Campus thespians face the footlights in five major productions annually, but no ploy is better than its behind-the-scenes preparation . . . lines must be learned and sets must be constructed. These all precede the orchids or onions tossed at the cast on opening night. Seated at table in front are, left to right: E. Turner Stump, Katherine Norton, MichasI Dubetz, G. Horry Wright.

Riders, amendments, pair and joint commit- tees are Greei to many U. S citizens. To students entering the fields of political science or law however, they are meaning- ful and important. Pi Sigma Alpha, national political science honorary, recognizes students for excellence in these fields. Shady Politician is one phrase that is completely out of line in their standards. The excitement and adventures of the past are brought to life time and time again by members of Phi Alpha Theta, national history honorary society. This group, although a comparatively new one on campus, publishes its own journal which holds a high rating with historians in all parts of the country.

Joe, who has just finished giving a spot announcement, has everything timed to the split second, as radio-people always do. Professional Classroom . . . WKSU-FM. WKSU-FM news announcer, John Lioce stands checking copy with Gus Resler during the election programs. Gus was then co-program director. If you walk into WKSU-FM about 1 1 :30 any school day you might see something that, at first glance, definitely seems to be a mild form of chaos. Peo- ple going in all directions, typewriters clatter- ing, and questions being asked and answers being given. The whole atmosphere is filled with movement and sound. As you stand there a little longer, you realize that all this activity is not chaotic at all. These people know what they are doing . . . applying today the theory they learned In class yesterday. The Federal Communications Com- mission refers to WKSU-FM as a student operated non-commercial educational radio station. These people of radio ore representing the Community Voice of Kent State University. When WKSU goes to watch the KSU basketball quintet in action, they go all out with microphones and other broadcasting parophernolia playing just as big a role as staff members present. Three radio men are assigned to cover each game. Two alternate to give play-by-play news, with the third managing the color end of the program. Gus Ressler provides the between quarters chatter at this gome, while Bernie Russi and Tom Laing relay scores and scorers to fans. Stuart Giller and Tommy Colson take tape recorder • in hand to get a coed ' s opinion for their Student ' s View program. The fellows caught Barbara Davidson in the Atrium and recorded her thoughts on various compus and world happenings during the week. The tape is then played bock over the air for the benefit of station listeners. This program was just one of the projects manoged by Colson, who served as director of special events for WKSU. Giller worked on the announcing staff during the year. WKSU-FM Cries of Ike ' s In were to re-echo oround the FM station rooms later in the night, but earlier it was all business for the radio station staff. The WKSU gong made on all-night project of relaying the latest returns to their invisible audience. A Fall quarter WKSU co-program director, Roman Syroid, shows Bill Charles the latest tally. Charles, who was appointed program director for Winter quarter, stands by to let WKSU listeners in on the latest news on the 1953 presidential balloting.

They Play an Indispensable Role KSU Student Council officers are, left to right: Mary Ellen Cross, Bob Seaman, Lenny Goldstein and Laura Dalton. These competent students keep the student government running smoothly. 190 In every orgariization there is the in- evitable group which plays an indispensable role but receives little recognition. Although rarely seen and seldom heard, the Elections committee, one of the most powerful committees on campus, is ever present to do its job. Through their efforts in regulating all elections, Stu- dent Government is possible. The effi- ciency of the manner in which election booths are set up; the way voting bal- lots are counted; the distribution and collection of petitions ore characteristic of this unit which is the backbone of all University government. Having final deci- sion on all election details, it is unbiased because political considerations play little port. Such are the far-reaching effects of the Elections committee ' s untiring ef- forts. The members behind the scenes in student government deserve a vote of thanks. The President Raps for Order The president raps his gavel, the group quiets down, and another meeting of Student Council has begun. During this meeting, important decisions may be made that will affect every KSU student in some way. And these decisions will be made just as these representatives were chosen ... by pop- ular vote. Student Council activities play a big part in campus life. Freshman hazing rules and the popular dink, the student book exchange, student elections, NTFC, the organization of the K book and the WSSF drive are all directed by this group. They are governed by two things: their constitution and the student body that elected them. Knowing this, SC meetings often run late, so that their decisions will be good ones. Student government is in the hands of Student Council. It is a representative group, elected by the student body.

They all Listened to their Leader 192 All of the men listened when their platoon leader, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth and a rifle slung over his shoulder, gave orders to wipe out an enemy pillbox on Hill 309. The men grumbled a bit as he outlined the plan of attack and assigned each on individual duty. But yet like true patriots they knocked out the pillbox and stormed on up the hill. It was a fierce battle and a typical mock battle involving members of Pershing Rifles. The Kent State Company of Pershing Rifles have participated in three such mock battles this year. These battles give training in modern tactics. This group also takes part in inspection meets and drill trips along with their many social events. The army ROTC organized this group at Kent State in the fall of 1949. Since then, the enrollment has tripled to an all-time high of 60 members and in 1 951 members of the Air Force ROTC were admitted. J Once, a number of years ago, a boy was graduated from a small-town high school in Kansas. Then he decided to pursue a military career. So he went to college, grad- uated as a second lieutenant and made use of his train- ing. He succeeded so well that he wound up as President of the United States. Now, it may be stretching the imagination too much to compare Dwight D. Eisenhower with someone at KSU, but one never can tell. The cadets of Scabbard and Blade, the honorary Army ROTC organization on campus, have the opportunity to aspire to such an ambition. Maybe one of them will so distinguish himself as to rise to the rank of general and then even to President. Of course, the cadet in the advanced Army ROTC corps is demanded only to maintain high scholastic standards in military courses, not to secure the highest office in the land But with their wide training and ex- perience. Scabbard and Blade members are prepared to be- come future guardians of our freedom. Future Guardians of Our Freedom Seated left to right are; Cadets Captain C. Ul- rich and Lt. David Jones.

Organized in 1951, this honorary society won a place of Its own on KSU ' s campus. Aside from their scholastic achievements, they also tackle the serious problems which face the Air Force of today. These discussions further their understanding of air strategy and help moke all of them better prepared for jobs of the future in the Air Force. The Kent Chapter was named after Captain Edward Moore who was killed in the far east in May of 1945.

A Living Picture in KSU History For two year olds, the Phi Gamma Nu ' s really step lively, and once they get rolling they don ' t stop. These women, having celebrated their second year as a national professional honorary in March, 1953, are advancing toward new horizons at Kent State University. Each year the organization awards a scholar- ship key to a senior woman graduating with the high- est average in Business Administration. This is done to encourage other women in this field to work for higher scholastic standards. To offset the monotony of typing, shorthand, and other commercial courses, they have social and business meetings with prominent speakers. As a community project they present a typewriter to a nearby veterans ' hospital each year. They have also established a loon fund to aid members who need financial assistance to finish their education. With but two years to their credit as a national club, the Phi Gamma Nu ' s present a living picture in the making of history at Kent State University. Seated, left to right are Phi Gamma Nu officers Johonn Selais and Margaret Bucolo. Standing, left to right: Betty Buckeye and Martha Gunn. 195 ut ' Almost everyone at some time or other goes to listen to the A Copella Choir or the 14 Madrigal singers. If they miss a show at school, they can tune in a radio station and listen to the KSU choir via the airwaves, for they do an occasional broadcast. The 14 select songsters specialize in 14th to 18th century music. Both groups practice every week day and sometimes on week-ends for their next performance. And under Robert T. Foulkes ' direction, their per- formance is always good. A Copella Choir, boasting 75 members this year, has made a name for itself and for Kent by their radio programs and tours. This year they have made tours to Detroit and to Centra! and Southern Ohio. The group meets five days weekly and receives one credit hour. Membership is based on auditions.

A Service to the University In an effort to prove that a true Boy Scout never leaves scouting, Alpha Phi Omega has been formed here at Kent in an effort to serve KSU in any way possible. The local chapter of Alpha Phi Omega has been serving the Uni- versity for the past twelve years. It was founded here at Kent in March 1941. The members are made up of former Boy Scouts who hove come to college and would like to con- tinue working in the scouting tradition. Among the many donations to the campus was the Victory Bell to be rung as a symbol of a Kent victory. APO has a four-point progrom that consists of service to the university, the community, the country and to them- selves. Contrary to popular belief, Alpha Phi Omega is not an honorary fraternity. It is a unique organization that wants to serve the University. The requirements for member- ship are previous scout training and a wish to serve the University, Its members are students from every phase of school life.

A Fraternity Was Born Officers are, front row left to right: David Stockburger, Bob Potter, Paul Stewart. Bock row left to right: Earl Pontius, Ed Donaldson and Frank Turner. It all began at New York University about forty six years ago when a group of men, who were to be future white collar workers, decided to unite in their com- mon interest to form a fraternity. Delta Sigma Pi was born. Down through the years this fraternity has continued to expand, and they now have eighty-five local chapters belonging to the national organiza- tion. Established here at Kent State in May of 1942, this professional business fraternity has advanced both in scholastic achievements and in size. One of the greatest things which has happened to them was the obtainment of a fraternity house where all of the members can work and have recreation together under the common bond of busi- ness interest. The high standards of this group of men have remained through the test of time. To become a member, one must have a point average of 2.25 and a minimum of thirty credit hours in the college of business administration. J DELTA SIGMA PI All of us at one time or another wonder about our future work, and whether or not we will ever have the success we dream about. To members of Delta Sigma Pi, the professional businessmen ' s frater- nity, the possibilities of success in the business world are much more than a daydream. Delta Sigma Pi ' s spend a great amount of their extra time in discussions about their work and post-graduate plans. This may account for the high scholastic average of this fraternity. During the year, along with their many social functions, they attend con- ventions and take part in national efficiency contests. Entertaining at the Delta Sigma Pi house is Leroy Probst at the piano. Sitting, from left to right, are Gene Tisdale, Don Mellinger. Those standing from left to right are; John Cusic, Richard Wirth and Edward Goelz. Officers of all organizations have a lot of letter writing to take care of and Earl Pontius and Frank Turner are no exceptions. Since the men are BA majors, they shouldn ' t find it hard to run through a few sheets of correspondence, without a secretary. 199 Kent State ' s chapter of the American Commons club includes, in the front row from left to right: John Billey, Donald Fraley, Robert Graham, Arliss Corby, R.

Koller and Amner are faculty advisors. No Religious or Class Discrimination Club officers include from left to right: Ron Reese, recording secretary; Jim Kissman, corres. secretary. Standing is Robert Swinehort, the ACC ' s treasurer. In October, 1947, a Kent State University junior, Jim Bernhardt, took a trip to Denison University in Granville. He went to Denison to look over the fraternities there. He had high hopes; he was searching for a group with no ideas of religious or class discrimination, an organization that put education and its University before its own interests, and one with reasonable financial obligations. He found just such a fraternity in the American Com- mons Club. Back at Kent, he began laying groundwork for a Kent State Commons group. He found a fellow student, Allen Bendon, interested in the project. The two men held the first official meeting in January, 1948. Twenty men attended, and they elected Jim as their first president. The Club grew by leaps and bounds; in April, 1949, the Kent State Commons Club became one of five national chapters, with the mother chapter at Denison. AMERICAN COMMONS CLUB The club is now five years old. The group bought a house at 320 South Lincoln Street, and still call it home. Members have made it a habit to capture most of the trophys offered to Independent men ' s competi- tion. At last count, the men had both the 1951 and 1952 Homecoming decoration awards to their credit. During Christmas vacation, the campus fairly swarmed with Commons ' members. The national convention was held on campus December 28 through December 30. Non-existent in 1946 . . . scene of the National convention in 1952; that ' s the story of the growth of KSU ' s American Commons chapter. Norm Gibson, Jim Kissmon, Dave Rubin, and Ronnie Reese relax with some good old harmonizing at the American Commons Club house, Jim does a pretty good job strumming the guitar accompani- ment for their quartette. Of course music is fme, but there comes a time in every man ' s life when the books must be taken in hand, end at the ACC house, Jim Kissman, R. Graham, Ken HirschI, and Ron Reese make use of the basement study room. Ron must be taking a novel course. 201 Miss Janet Knapp, director of U. C.

Their Creed is Friendship and Fellowship The welcome mat is a little out of the ordinary. There are several words there instead of the usual one. It expresses friendship and fellowship as well as saying, All are welcome. Ideas such as these have served as the creed of the United Christian Fellowship since its organization began in 1947. In the last five years this organization has accomplished much in the field of creating good fellowship among students and faculty, on and off campus. Made up of various denominations all working together, these members take jobs in the community and turn over their wages to the organization as funds for various benevolent enterprises. Regular Sunday night meetings and mid-week coffee hours give students time to worship and study together. Twice a year they get together for a retreat which is held at a nearby camp sight. 20r d _f5 j ,i_ii_ -J Some of the members of UCF find time to relax and discuss plans for one of their many activities. They find they accomplish more with a small group. Seated in front is Bill long. Left to right are: Jack Susman, Mary Arvay, Frank Cooley, B. Horsfall. Sunday night meetings include lots of good food and plenty of fun for members of U.C.F. After supper they join together in discussions about religion and student fellow- ship. The meeting is followed by worship services and a recreational period. Lowry Hall officers ore, clockwise: Marilyn L. Donahue, Mrs. Ethel M. Russell, the head resident; Ann Lee Hinsman, Josie A. Dusek, Margaret A. Melvin, Carol Jean Honeberger, Charlotte J. Frolo, Lois J. Youngen, Marilyn Seywert and Joyce C. Israel. These girls work closely with the housemother, Mrs. Russell, in plonning activities and deciding the policies of the dorm. Once Again the Cycle Starts Lowry girls taking a little time out after a day of hard classes ore: A. Wood, N. Bodenbender and B. Barnes. The feet hanging over the edge of the bunk are courtesy of J. St. John. She ' s a sophomore now. She has been through the new experiences of fresh life, but she is young enough that all the faces don ' t seem too familiar yet. When she gains this new status, the coed moves into Lowry hall on top of the hill which is so hard to climb. Again the cycle starts . . . bull sessions, romances, professors, courses, friends and dances. Her experiences are all discussed with her friends in the privacy of her room. She learns responsibility under the honor system that is part of Lowry living. Formal season rolls around and the long, dreamy dress that she is dying to wear comes out of its box. Too soon her year is over. She packs her bogs and the dorm quietly goes to sleep for another year. Moulton counselors are, left to right, row I : Pouline Humbert, Lucille A. Moriol, Betty Vickers, Shirley Jane Moore, Jo Eggler and Betty Ann Schmid. Row 2: SueHurd, Margaret Anderson, Carol Stitle, Morgaret Grimes and Ann Reiheld. Their chief job is to aid and advise the girls. New and Wonderful Experiences Moulton hall officers are, left to right: Betty Flickinger, Ann Winbigler, Nancy Boole, Mrs. Eleanor Lallance, head resident; Betty Tucker, Sally Delamater and Marilyn Whiteman. On floor: Mary Jo Paul and Mary Lou Br own. These girls help to keep everything running smoothly. She says goodbye to Mom and Dad and a lump comes into her throat. Then she heads toward her new home . . . Moulton hall. She is a freshman strictly on her own. Her fears are soon forgotten as she meets her roommates, her coun- selor and her housemother. Her year is crowded with so many new and wonder- ful experiences that time seems to fly. She learns to love her new home. When the year is over and she has to leave, she once again has a lump in her throat. 205 Officers of the newest dorm on KSU ' s campus are seated, from left to right: Peggy O ' Neal, presi- dent and Laurel Stender, secretary. Standing from left to right are: Marilyn Rundle, fire warden; Phyl- lis Pfaff, the treasurer and t he co-social chairman, Jeanne Mur- phy and Joonn Aitken. All dorm activity, from Homecoming to the annual Engleman Hall formal, is under the direction of the coed leaders. Mrs. Mary McCampbell, head resident, is the advisor. With the 1953 world situation put- ting so many men in the U. S. armed forces, women ' s dormitories hove an excess of letters. Mrs. E. Waters, a receptionist at Engle- man, has huge stacks of mail to hand out each morning. Waiting to see if the postman rang for them are Mary Lou Williams, Joan Arick, and Janet Mayhall, resi- dents of the dormitory. Most coeds admit the mail income decreases each year, because they just get tired of answering letters. 206 Engleman counselors include Johann Selois, LaVerne Maine, Char McForren, Marion Hubbard, Doris Bender and Anet Nadosdi, who are seated left to right. Counselor Marge Bucolo is in front. The End Is In Sight She can see the end in sight when she fin- ally reaches the junior-senior dormitory, Engleman. She experiences on entirely new phase of dorm life in this residence hall. The atmosphere, which prevails throughout the dorm is one of reservation. Yet the activity, which is so evident in Moulton and Lowry, still exists in Engelman. Bridge and bull sessions are sometimes carried on till the wee hours of the morn- ing, and graduation plans are often the center of discussion. Yes, she can see the end in sight and looks forward to it, yet when it comes . . . she hates to leave. Nrii Rin3 and Karen Groves take time out to settle problems of a CDurse-in-common, while coeds Rosemary Yallech, Ellen Dccollo and Joanne Kanzaki are heading toward the dorm desk to sign out.

The Stopher hall men have just about all the conveniences of home and more. This includes cafeteria, automatic washers and dryers, four lounges, two television sets and a piano. Each year these students sponsor a Christmas party with gifts and all the trimmings, for the needy children of the community. This dormitory was opened to students in 1949 and houses 275 men. Each of the seven corridors has a counselor to enforce the rules and regulations. 208 Other members of the Society for the Advancement of Management club ore, front row, left to right: Ed Core, second vice-president; Robert Amstodt, Anthony Ferrato, Chuck Moore, Carl Sammt, Gust Bellios, John locobelli and Herbert Oestreich.

It stands for the Society for the Advancement of Management, and represents no special interest, but is motivated by a selfless zeal to spread the benefits of scientific management. As such, the Society is the recognized national club of management people in industry, commerce, government and education The organization entertains a series of speakers each year, men vi ell-known in the business field, who help the various members get a better start in their chosen profession. The annual SAM banquet is held in the spring and always features a famous speaker in management. Left to right: Marilyn Roth, Mary Ann Loftus, Father G. P.

A Religious and Social Group Pauline Ross expectantly awaits her chance to bite into the bobbing apple that Ernie Mazza has under attack at the Newman Club Halloween party. Masks, glittering costumes, an orchestra and a ballroom, when combined, make up a Mardi Gras. KSU ' s Newman club tossed the ingredi- ents together two years ago, and enjoyed the results so much that they ' ve made it an annual highlight. Numerous parties are sponsored throughout the year and other highlights are the Pilgrim ' s Prom and the Frosh mixer. Besides the social side of life, Newman club functions on the intel- lectual and spiritual levels to inform and inspire Catholic students in non-sectarian colleges. Based on the belief that religious education must be more than a mere sup- plement to an individual ' s secular studies, the Club works to make religion an integral part of every student ' s life. Natalie DeBlasio and Bill Eck are crowned king and queen of the Newman Club Mardi Gras by prexy Ernie Mazza and sec- retary Marilyn Roth.

These devotions follow a supper prepared by members of the organization. Christian Fellowship By discussing the day ' s problems and reading from the Bible, these young men and women gain inspiration and a clearer in- sight into the situations which constantly confront us. Religion Is Stressed When Kent students begin seeking a program of worship, discussion, and Christian fel- lowship, many turn to Wesley Foundation. Wesley offers a program of recreation, counseling, buzz sessions, and vespers. If a student is interested in drama, he may join the Wesley Players; if he likes music, there is the Wesley Choir; and for that close bond of friendship there are the men ' s and women ' s fraternities. They welcome all into their Christian fold. Stressing religion as a way of life in col- lege and cooperating with other campus reli- gious groups are two of the main goals which Sigma Theta Epsilon, Methodist Men ' s frater- nity, has strived for since it was founded in 1949. This religious social group also takes an active part in University intramural activities and service projects. With Valentine ' s Day creating the atmosphere, Sigma Theta Epsilon takes advantage of the centuries-old cele- bration by sponsoring their Sweetheart ' s Dance.

This motto stands be- hind the aims of this Methodist group which furnishes an opportun- ity for friendship, leadership de- velopment and church affiliations. Charity is brought out by the women in the organization in their service projects which include such things as Christmas baskets for the needy and clothing for the Edith Horpst home Af.cr thriliinj football fans with their entertaining half- tims p3rformances during fall quarter, KSU ' s Twin Bands turn to indoor concerts during winter and spring quarters. The 80-piece symphonic band presents a winter concert every year which includes the work of such men as Sousa, Mozart, Strauss, Wagner and Schuman. There ' s Something About A Band The Symphonic and Twin Bonds are conducted by Prof. Roy Metcalf assisted by graduate stu- dents, Roland Gomble and Lee McMillen. There ' s something about a boid, no matter how small it is, that sends chills up and down your spine when it passes by. And when the band is a snappy 80-piece ensemble, you feel like cheering as you have never cheered before. Year after year this has been the reaction to the twin marching bands of KSU. Twenty-four years ago, the small band, dressed in blue and gold caps and capes, made its first appsar- ance. Two years later they made their first field debut. The ' r first marching bard was made up entirely of men. Then the coeds formed a musical group of their own, and in 1950 they combined forces with the men to make up the band as we know it today. And now, when the band marches down the football field at halftime, appears in a parade or p ' ays, or a concert, we have good reason to be proud of them for they perform like champ ' ons. - 214 ___ ' : - ♦ir The Annual Winter Concert of the band was presented at the University auditorium to an enthusiastic audience. But the people sitting in the auditorium were nit the only ones enjoying the classics. Couples could be seen outside the building listening to the strains of this stirring music. For the first time in recent years a beautiful sounding but seldom-heard stringed instrument, the harp, was added to ths band. The band ' s harpist is Miss Eudora Ebert, a senior fr m Cleveland Heights. Miss Ebert has studied the harp for four years under the guidance of wall-known harpists. The listening audience never sees this view of the band, but the air-minded photographer had to climb the cat-walks to look at it this way. Front row: R. Krichbaum, E. Doccolo, A. Krichbaum, M.

In addition to having an oppor- tunity to hear outstanding speakers from their own profession, the members also look for- ward to their highlight of the season, the Mid-Western Physical Education conference. Planning extensive activities just comes naturally to members of the Industrial Arts club The men in this group are all lA majors or minors and carry over their aptitude for keeping busy in creative work to their social life. Just as the Industrial Arts room in the Arts building is a picture of thriving activity, so is the social calen- dar of the club crowned with highlights.

Religious Training Makes An Education Complete He comes to college for four years of work and over- night he is thrown into a frenzied whirl of social activity, studies, parties, teas and exams. Then suddenly he is through. In these four years he has enriched his knowledge of practical things and as- serted a certain feeling of independence But too often one phase of his college career is sadly neglected . . . his religious training. During the last seven years, IVCF has been filling that gap with daily prayer meetings and an evening meeting once a week. In these meetings the Bible is explored. Speakers and two conferences during the year supplement the in- formation in their textbook. Through these and many more activities, the Bible comes to life for the IVCF member. And as his religious training is enriched, his education is complete. 217 p .J Row 1, left to right: Art DeGenaro, Ralph Limon, Pen Tate, Jim Cuppy, Dick Knuth, M.

Cooperation with Teammates To promote friendship and cooperate fully with teammates and coaches n following the athletic program at KSU sounds almost too good to be true. However, it has been a part of the vow taken by each Varsity K mem- ber since the club started in 1927. Active participation in sports and high scholarship are a few of their attributes. They add the ' r bit to KSU trod ' tions by sponsoring the K day every year and the Varsity K dance. Their annual High School day entertains prominent high school athletes. By work ' ng together, these men have accomplished what they set out to do . . . create a common tie betwesn all athletes.

They Use the Postman ' s Creed Specimens Instead of Textbooks They ' re small but mighty! Our cheerleaders truly exemplify what is meant by school spirit. No matter what cheer they ' re leading, the r hearts are in it. Using the postman ' s creed they are on the job come rain, shine or snow. Either basketball or football sea- son will find them following the team, staunchly supporting them on foreign floors as well OS at home . . . and they love it!

Greek organizations were forming political parties, and the independents felt a need of their own voice With this in mind, they banded together to form the Independent Student ' s Association. From its start the group was active as a political and social organi- zation. It nominated members of its own to compete with BG and Nu-K candidates. The political activity, however, broke up the group organization, so they reunited later as a so- cial association. Now picnics, dances and variety shows help the members become better acquainted with their fellow students, their campus and their college life. 220 Members of Phi Sigma Xi in- clude front row, from left to right: Miriom Derks, Jeon Fen- ton, Jean Harris.

A Fascinating Field, Science Teacliing Problems Are Solved There are all kinds of people in the world, and there are all kinds of interests. Each professional group is in a class all of its own. Phi Sigma Xi, a local honorary frater- nity, was started for that class of people called scientists. It establishes a common bond for students who are interested in the fascinating and ever-seeking field of science. Working together, the group gains more know- ledge in dealing with the objects of nature At one time KSU ' s education students lis- tened to a prof ' s classroom lecture and debated among themselves about how he acted in real life. They hove o better idea now. The Elementary Ed club has brought this closer relationship into being by introducing instructors outside of the classroom and giving them a chance to help students solve their own teaching problems. And when he graduates, the student is grateful for it. Row 1, left to right: P. Almburg, G. Wish, T. Phillips, E. Tso- mis, L Marino, P. Miller, J. Horger, S, Kocher, D. Butterine, E. Pulsford, E.

A small group of a-r-minded me.n built their own plane ... a steel frame covered with canvas. And with the ad of a car and an enlarged rubber band, the glider soared into the air approximately 400 feet Time passed; another war ended; a new group of air-minded men roam3d the campus and the Flying Club was born. And just like Kent State, it continues to grow and prosper.

A Fleet of Able Students Future HPE Instructors ' Full steam ahead, said the members of Delta Psi Kappa at the outset of this year. Set- ting a course toward attaining group aims were eager minds and willing hearts. Sailing the crest of these ambitions after their pro- fess ona I meetings, they launched into the Fall Frolic coming up with a buried treasure of good times. To reach desired goals KSU ' s women ' s HPE honorary combines a fleet of able students and a ship-shape club. In the impress ve MPE build ng, those men who are to be future instructors prove their ability. Fortitude, leadership and tireless efforts are the qualities impressed upon them. Though it is often thought that this profes- sion is one only of glory, the majors will be the f rst to deny it With such thoughts in mind.

Keeping KSU in the spotlight is second nature to Dick Duff, Barbara Warren, secretary; and Tweet Burr. Barbara handles the Speaker ' s Bureau in addition to her secretoriol duties, while Dick and Tweet take care of the writing end of PR. Director of KSU ' s Athletic Publicity is Chuck Miller. With his secretary, Connie Wendt, and student assistant Bill Barrett, Miller supplies news- papers and radio stations with scores and publicity on all the KSU sports events. A big link between the public ond events at KSU is William A. Fisher, acting news director since Janu- ary. In addition to his work as professor of journ- alism, Mr. Fisher directs five student assistants in preparing KSU news for newspapers and radio. KSU catalogs, prospective student bulletins, hand- books, departmental phomphiets and programs for other University events are written and planned by the University Editor, Julia Waida. A copy pencil and a typewriter are symbols of her job. 224 They Put KSU In the Public Eye When readers note from their local newspapers that a hometown student has made good at Kent State, chances are the item they ' re reading originated in the University Public Relations Office. Hometown stories are just part of the work done in the small, constantly busy Merrill Hall office to put KSU in the public eye. Pub- licity stories and news releases on University events of interest to the public ore sent to newspapers and radio stations throughout Ohio. Former Kent Staters and present faculty members are kept up to dote on what ' s new at KSU through the Kent Alumnus and Academic Procession. A new service begun and handled by PR since last Fall is the Speaker ' s Bureau. To aid Ohio groups in planning programs, the Bureau offers a wide variety of topics by faculty members.

At a time like that students forget their dignity and scream for their school ' s teem. But students ore funny. When the game is over, they hide the pride they have for their school. Someone has to help bring this spirit out again, and that is the aim of the Booster club. The Boosters do all they can to make students believe that it is not undignified to show a pride in the university ' s teams. The Club sponsors rallies, dances and torch parades. This organization knows that a school without spirit is like a man without a heart. Booster club officers in the front row from left to right include Peggy MacMillan, secretary and Jeff Barnard, president. Those in the back row are Dick Cooper, vice-president and Jic Mac- Laren, treasurer. 225 Back then, beanbag was a popular sport. _ i _yw mencan deal . Deep down in the heart of every American is one of the keen- est of all human desires . . . the desire to win. He wonts to win whether he ' s on the football field or on the battleground. And he puts forth every possible effort to achieve his goal. For you see, he has been brought up that way. He has lived in a nation that refuses to accept second place in any- thing. This ideal has remained unchanged since his ancestors won their freedom in the war for independence. His father and brother hove battled through two great wars and have come out on top. Now he himself is in another. He ' s fighting beside the all-American from Southern Cal and beside the guy who runs a penny arcade in Atlanta. They all have one desire . . . they want to win. Americans are criticized heavily for the great stress they place upon winning athletic events. One neighbor likes to de- feat another at the golf course. A city gets worked up and puts on huge demonstrations the night before a football game with their traditional rivals. But, so does a nation rise to tremendous spirit when its freedom is jeopardized. It is this spirit, this tremendous desire to succeed, this will to win that has kept America at top from the hills of Korea to the Olympic games at Helsinki. 226 Today, people enjoy watching basketball gomes. 227 Mid-American Spring Sports Carnival Although given poor co-operation from the weatherman, Kent State, nevertheless, proved an excellent host to the sixth annual Mid-American conference spring sports carnival last May 24 and 25. Mid-American competitors from seven schools not only battled their opponents, but also the elements as it rained nearly the entire weekend. The Miami Redskins lived up to their advanced publicity as the track powerhouse of the conference by winning their fifth straight title. Only one new MA record was broken. Dan Drake of Miami put the shot 47 feet, 1 s s inches for a new mark. Ohio U. retained its golf crown with a 36-hole score of 508. Playing on a well-soaked Twin Lakes Country club course, the Bobcat foursome finished seven strokes ahead of Cincinnati and eight ahead of Kent and Miami. Western Michigan won the tennis title.

At the far right is Kent ' s sensational freshman sprint man. Dale Bertsch, who places third. A crack of the gun sends these 220-yard low hurdle contestants from their flooded starting positions. Left to r ight, the runners are Don Stinchcomb, Miami; Dick Bartfoy, Kent; Al Renick, Western Michigan; Walt Lammers, Miami; Leon Prior, Western Reserve; and Don Cohara, Reserve. Prior was the winner. A creditable performance is turned in by Joe Begala ' s traci . squad as they win four of seven dual meets. Front row, left to right, Don Burke, Dick Latture, Hal Mayhew, Dave Skinner, Larry Morchesano, Bill Hall, Niel Skinner, Paul Fanti, Ian MacEwon and Begala. Second row. Bill Inderwish, Jack Butler, Dominick Fallon, Gib Martin, Dole Bertsch, Dick Nielson, Earl Tarr, Bob Seaman, Cliff Hanks and Lou Mariano. Third row, Phil Conti, Dick Bartfoy, Bob Phelps, Clay- ton Hughes and Jim Menough. Hmmm, not too bod, could well be the thoughts of golf coach Howard Morrette as he tallies the scores mode by his players. Seeing to it that he figures correctly ore, left to right, Al Carpenter, Roger Johnston and George Stevens. The high hurdle event is olwoys one of the highlights of any track meet. These John Carroll and Kent State runners take the first hurdle in close company, but KSU ' s Hal Mayhew, second from left, pulls ahead to win. At far right is Cliff Hanks of Kent. After winning 8 of 9 matches, How- ard Morrette and his golfers have plenty of reason to smile. Left to right in front are. Bob Burns, Roger Johnston, Al Carpenter and John Kulig. Behind them are John Ailes, George Stevens and Coach Morrette. The mile run is tiring enough under normal circumstances, but when a track is soaked with water the going is twice as tough. Leading the first lap of the mile in the Mid-American carnival is Jack Wagner of Western R eserve. But Cash Powell of Miami, third in this picture, overtakes him and wins the race. They soy coaches ore versatile individuals. Karl Chesnutt, Kent tennis cooch, will go along with this theory. Determined not to allow an all night rain to spoil the Mid-American tennis matches, Karl turns groundskeeper and swabs the decks of the courts, as good as a sailor swabs his ship. First round scores of the Mid-American golf tournament are being recorded by Howord Morrette, KSU coach. Look- ing on at the left are John Ailes and John Kulig of Kent. 232 Spring Sports ' Records Track KSU Opponent 75 Akron 52 42 Oberlin 85 65 Reserve 61 79 Cose .. 47 49 Bald. Wall. 77 58 Bowl.

Representing KSU is Jacl . Butler, third from left. These run- ners look as if they might fly to the finish line. A lot of fancy tennis was played during the Mid-American matches and this crowd particularly liked the gome now in progress. From the grins on their faces, the KSU squad must have been putting on a good show. Kent ' s Tennis team members are front, left to right: D. Hinton, Al Dodenhoff, Harris Brown, J. Hildebrand and A. DeGenaro. Rear; Ed Vatovec, T. Meinhordt, Fronk Hicks, Morton Schneps, Jerry Baluch and Coach Chesnutt. 233 Playing one of the toughest schedules in Kent State history, Matt Resick ' s baseball squad posted nine wins in 14 gomes and finished third in the Mid-American conference with a 5-4 record. Members of the team are, front row, left to right. Trainer Joe Keefe, Jim Krizay, Bill Bosway, and Joe Alvado. Second row. Hop Lillick, Ray O ' Green, Ken Wilson, Lou Bocci, Willie Cramer, Dick Todd, and Don Peeler.

A slow roller to the second baseman, a snap throw to first — but too late to nab Kent left- fielder George Yost. Miami was the opponent. A Miami pitcher tries to pick off Frank Kovacic but the Kent State centerfielder dives back to first base just in time. Successful Season: 9-5 Record Coached by Matt Resick, the Kent State baseball team took third place in the Mid-American conference with a 5-4 record. For the season, the Golden Flashes won nine of 14 games against some rugged competition. The Mid- American title was won by Western Michigan ' s Broncos, while the Mimai Redskins finished second.

But the major part of the time, they played well and gave us many an unforgettable football thrill. One of the Great American Sports . . . Football Newspaper headlines scream all season with criticism directed toward Amer- ican football and the way it is played and operated. You read how the game is deteriorating, how television is cutting down the attendance, and how the game is losing appeal because of constant tampering with the rules. Then you fight your way into one of the larger stadiums and settle down with 60,000 other fans to watch one of the greatest of American sports. And they say the gome is going downward? As long as there is an Amer- ica, there will be football. And fans will keep going to football games as long as they have nickels in their pockets to pay the price of ad- mission. They don ' t care how many players have been bought to play with their favorite team nor the opponent ' s. They don ' t care how many people sit at home and watch it on television. They care even less how many changes are made in the rules. It ' s still football, and they love it. Players love it or they wouldn ' t practice long hours and sacrifice social activities. Coaches like it or they wouldn ' t be losing hair and even years of their lives trying to pro- duce winning teams and good, wholesome American athletes. 236 r-1 O 30 534 Flashes Toll 5 Wins, 4 Losses Football Kent State 20 Kent State 26 Kent State 25 Kent State 13 Kent State 18 Kent State 26 Kent State 21 Kent State 34 Kent State 21 Western Michigan 13 Mount Union 7 Western Reserve 19 Baldwin-Wallace 19 Ohio U 27 Marshall 14 Bowling Green 44 Akron 14 New Hampshire - 23 The Homecoming game is one that every- one wants to win. And old Mother Nature gave us a beautiful day on which to do it. But she didn ' t figure on the Flashes meeting such o powerful Ohio U eleven. So, after trying like Trojans to mal .e a comeback in the second half by thrilling the spectators with three con- secutive touchdowns, they fell short and went dpwn to defeat, 27 to 18. Football players drill long end hard before they con open holes in a line such as this one against Western Michigan. Captain Paul Amodio has just gained five yards as the Golden Flashes defeat the Broncos 20-13 in the season opener. KSU Boasts 20-13 Victory With an entire season of football in front of them, both the Flashes and their coach, Trevor Rees, were in fine shape for the opener with Western Michigan. The 20-13 victory against the Kalamazoo rivals pushed the Flashes off to a good start toward a season with unknown possibilities at this time. The rugged Mid-America conference con- test was played before school opened, but spirit was high regardless. For Trev Rees, KSU ' s coach and athletic director, this game was the start of another hair-pulling, theory-testing season. Sideline gyrations of a coach are seldom noticed by fans, intent on the grid-iron action, but Kent ' s Trev always contributes his shore of body-English to any game. It ' s fourth down and too far to go for a first down, so there ' s only one way out — punt! Coach Trev Rees wants to make sure his boys know the situation, so he gives them the high sign. 238 Kent ' s Bob Loftin hauls down an Akron runner on the opening kickoff at the Rubber bowl. In one of the hard- est fought contests of the season, the Golden Flashes win by a 34-14 score to maintain possession of the traditional wogon wheel. Western Reserve ' s Dick Dorlond sweeps around end only to be cornered by Kent ' s Sonji Herzberg and Paul Amodio. Eddie Finnegan ' s Redcats put up a fine struggle before surrendering two fourth period touchdowns to the Golden Flashes who won by a 25-19 margin. Defensive backs Tony Rocco ond Niel Skinner gong up on a Mount Union ball, carrier as the Golden Flashes score a 26-7 victory over the Purple Raiders. Playing in Alliance ' s Hartshorn stadium, the Golden Flashes turn in their best defensive effort of the season. Always one of the most spectacular events of the fall is Home- coming Day. Fans were expecting a wide open game in Memor- ial stadium and that ' s exactly what they saw when Ohio U and Kent State clashed. The backs had their fun as the Bobcats won 27-18 but there wos some rugged line play as Kent ' s Dick Pitts admitted after he ran into the Ohio U forward wall. Bobcats, BG Defeat Flashes KSU ' s alumni came home on October 18, 1952, proud of their Alma Mater, but the Bobcats of Ohio university quickly dulled their festive spirits with o 27-18 victory. Eyeing a possible Mid-America conference championship, both teams were up for the game. After a runaway first half for the Athens crew, the Flashes bounded back in the second half with two touchdowns to even up everything but the final score. With OU rapidly becoming Kent ' s arch- rival in all sports, there should be a hot time in Athens next year too. Following a victory at Marshall college in Huntington, W. Va., the Flashes returned home the next week only to suffer their worst defeat of the season to Bowling Green university, also a Mid-America conference foe. Final score of the one-sided encounter was 44-21. Dads of Kent State players sit on the sidelines and watch Bowling Green ' s Harold Bruck (46) intercept a pass intended for End Ron Potokar. Kent suffered its worst defeat of ' 52, 44-21. Quarterback Frank Artino takes a nose dive info three Ohio U tacklers in the above photo, while below, Paul Amodio is flip- ping a lateral to Bob Scott in the Baldwin-Wallace game. Seemingly balancing himself en one hand, Kent fullback Jim Cullom has just picked up o sizeable gain against Akron University. Frank Felix is leading interference. Kent Alternates Victory With Defeat The Yellow Jackets of Baldwin Wallace University buzzed around the Flashes one Friday night at Berea, Ohio and before the evening was over KSU hod started on its football downfall A much-disputed Kent Touchdown in the last half was not allowed and the Flashes lost their first game of the season, 19-13. Coach Trevor Ree ' s charges alter- nated victory with defeat from this game on and ended the season with a 5-4 record. But arch-rival Akron University, despite a feud between the student newspapers of the neighboring school, still fell prey to the Flashes in the second last game, 34-14. After crossing the line of scrimmage, an Ohio U ball carrier finds four Kent State players closing in — Mike Norcia (32), Ken Redlin (82), Dick Raidel (number hidden) and Al Kilgore (74).

Cagers Experience Rough Season Cincinnati ' s Bill Lammerf (26) and Larry Imburgia (28) eye the boll with determined expressions, but Percy Grenfell seems to be saying, Oh, the heck with it. 242 Trev Rees thought he had troubles when his football team lost three close games. But evidently his grid- ders passed on their knack of losing the tough ones to Bud Haerr and his basketball team. The Golden Flash cage squad won only seven of 22 games but nine of their defeats were by five points or less. But win or lose, few fans will deny they saw some mighty fine basketball in the MPE building. Co-Captain Percy Grenfell was the leading scorer with 336 points. He concluded three years of varsity ball with 994 points. He and Co-Captain Larry Grist are the only graduating seniors. If , ..•■ The Tribulations of a Coach A basketball coach is o man of many moods. But it is no wonder, for he leads a try- ing life. He knows how basketball should be played and taught. Through various and ingenious methods he shows his players what to do and when to do it. Then when the real test, a cage gome, comes along all he can do is sit and hope. Lowell Shumaker, after grabbing a rebound, finds himself victinn of a strangle hold by a Youngstown college player. Two more Penguins are moving in on the play from behind. An elusive fellow with a different shot to meet every pre- dicament, Percy Grenfell fakes this Youngstown player out of position as he drives for o lay-in shot. Kent won 69-65.

He has a basketball for a head. And Percy Grenfell, by the expression on his face, is quite astonished over matters. The Cincinnati players are Tom Osterman (24) and Bob Cutter. Little Joe, He ' s Everywhere Now Alvado finds the ball growing out of his back, and it is Cincinnati ' s Jack Twymon (27) who has the look of wonderment. Moving in on the ploy in the background are Bill Lammert of Cincy (26), Percy Grenfell and Larry Grist of Kent, and the Bearcats ' Bob Cutter (32). The Golden Flashes won this one, 72-66. Relax, Pal Basketball is o strenuous sport, especiolly in modern times when most teoms use a race- horse style of ploy. So, one means of relaxation is to sit down on the floor awhile as these Kent and Mount Union players are doing. Tipping the boll is Joe Alvado (7), while Lowell Shu- maker (9) is in the foreground. A disgusted Mike Harkins of Akron U throws his hands up into the air as Kent ' s Joe Alvodo comes up with the boll after a scramble. George Hamilton is also on the play as Kent whips the Zips 81-74 to avenge on earlier loss. Ouch! screams Dick Walls of Miami as he gets his fingers bitten by George Hamilton who stretches for a rebound. The Golden Flashes dropped a 76-73 thriller to the Redskins in the season opener in the MPE building. Percy Grenfell tries desperately to sink a hook shot over the outstretched hand of a Baldwin- Wallace player. Grenfell ' s efforts were to no avail, however, for the host Yellow Jackets squeezed out a 70-66 victory. 247 Members of the KSU swimming team are front row, left to right: Dick Paskert, assistant coach; Ted Dickey, Joe Kempf, Bob Smith, Harris Brown, Dave Bosomworth, Clayton Hughes and Ed McVehil. Back row: Bill Hoover, coach; Don Foky, manager; Carl Tolotti, Sid Edwards, Bill Booth, Dick Kohrman, Ed Fronk, Dave Hambleton, Bob Lahman and Nick Bosworth. Swimmers Break Even With 7-7 Record By opening the season with two straight victories and closing it the some way, Bill Hoover ' s swimming team compiled a 1-1 record. Highlighting the season was the fine diving of Captain Ed McVehil and the freestyle work of Bob Smith.

Nearest the camera are Kent State ' s ace freestylers, Joe Kempf and Bob Smith, who paced the KSU swimmers all season. Showing beautiful form typical of his diving performances, Ed McVehil enters the water from a high board with hardly a splash. Mc- Vehil, who is 32 years old, lost only one of 14 dual meet decisions. At the right is Harris Brown, sophomore backstroker. Although Kent ' s Larry Worz is apparently get- ting the better of this Case wrestler in the 137 pound division, the Golden Flashes went on to lose a 19-8 match to the Clevelanders. It was the first of three setbacks suffered by Joe Begala ' s matmen this year. When Ian MccEwan moves onto the mat for the 157 pound match, Kent State wrestling fol- lowers just sit back and relax, knowing a sure decision or pin is in the making for KSU. Moc- Ewan, who trains constantly the year around, won 1 in a row this season. Representing Kent State on the wrestling mats this season were front row, left to right: Jock Love, Johnny Twark, Bob Gibbons and Larry Worz. Back row: Joe Begala, coach; Ian MacEwan, Lowell Busick, Jim Romano and Jerry Conway. Absent were Gil Dubrey, Frank Toncor, Julius Campetto and Don Barry. The Slate Still Looks Impressive When a wrestling team wins six of nine dual matches, it is usually considered as hav ng had 3 good year. Yet, such a record represented one of Kent State ' s poorer seasons. But Coach Joe Begala ' s 24-year slate of 165 victories, 29 de- feats and one tie still looks mighty impressive.

J The story of advertising is centuries old. It has been one of the selling tools used by businessmen to make their products appeal to customers since the advent of buying and selling. From the days when signboards and towncriers were the only media for advertising, this field has advanced to the point where it is one of the biggest institutions in the business world today. Advertising has been carried a long way. Without the printing press and transportation, it would never hove reached maturity. Yet as old as it is, it is still young, for new ideas must be thought up every day. And like the history of advertising goes the history of Kent ' s advertising. With the construction of the university in this little town come the expansion of advertising. As the university city grew from a small normal school to a large uni- versity, the town grew up with it. Today the advertisers in Kent do their utmost to supply the university with desired products. Window displays catch the eye of anyone walking down the streets of the town. Dis- plays were even set up to welcome new students during Fresh- man Week. Their appeals are directed to the students of KSU, as well as they are directed to the citizens of Kent. 252 A small city with a university 253 ainim ■ V s lioo PUBLICATION DIVISION INDIANAPOLIS ENGRAVING COMPANY, INC. 222 EAST OHIO STREET • INDIANAPOLIS 6, INDIANA 254 A • . . en4oif5 Itein op ietirice to T U U . . .

This letter makes our last signature complete. From the very beginning, people have tried to help us in everyway. To these people, we ' d like to say a few words. The people that started us on the road to being Burr-heads were Ed Cliney and Jim Butler, editor and associate editor of the 1 952 Burr. We would like to thank you, Ed and Jim, for oil you taught us on your book, and especially for the confidence you had in us. And without the help of Dean Manchester and Prof. Johnson, we could never hove carried out the theme of our book. It was they who supplied us with all the necessary information on the history of Kent State Uni- versity and the old pictures in the book. With the dummy drawn and the theme underway, printers and engravers had to be con- sidered. We feel we picked the best in choosing Jud Rinebold of the Gray Printing Co. and Russ Benson of the Indianapolis Engraving Co. We especially want to thank you, Jud and Russ, for all the patience you both had, for listening to oil our troubles and for giving us such good advice. We are also especially grateful to Prof. William Taylor, head of the School of Journalism, and Prof. Dario Politella, our advisor. Thank you, Mr. Taylor and Mr. Politella, for taking such on interest in the Burr and for coming to our rescue just at the right times. We also want to thank all our close friends for putting up with our moods and listening to us rave for hours about the Burr. The staff members probably got tired of listening to us yell. You, staff members, should know that there was nothing personal in our roars. We only hod one thing in our minds. The book was first. The deadlines had to be met. Thank you especially Pat Coin, for how hard you worked, for the Saturday night you spent working on the Index and for the many hours you spent down at the Burr office. Thank you, Pete Dignan, for being around at the right times with the perfect advice and understanding. Thank you, Flo Lou Lawrence and Shirley Reddinger, for working at a minute ' s notice and for doing just the right thing at the right time. Our gratitude is also extended to Earl Swaney and Don Shook for keeping things run- ning smoothly on the photographic staff, and also to all the photographers for doing things like giving up dates to the Top Hop to shoot pictures for the Burr. We may hove omitted some things and made mistakes. But we tried our best and we are sorry if anyone was slighted. Forgive us, it wasn ' t intentional. To next year ' s editor, associate editor and staff, we wish the very best of luck. If their staff is anything like ours was, they shouldn ' t have any trouble. To them we leave a broken-in- office, a battered coffee pot and the wish for an All-Americon book. And you. Mom and Dad, thank you for putting up with our moods, our lock of letters and our short tempers. Thank you especially for the interest you both showed in the book and for the pride and confidence you had in us. Thank you for encouraging us when we were so low and for plugging for us all the way through. We know you will be as proud of our book as we are. Above all, we are thankful to God for answering our prayers and giving us peace of mind and clear heads when we needed them the most. With Him on our side, we knew nothing could stop us. r on and c=Lib 272 t. y r ) %, tfimMmmmmm mwm M
