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.

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

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.
