L ... THE CHESTNUT BURR Kent State University Kent, Ohio Ralph J. Kingzett, III Editor Betty J. Gatchel, M. Ann Floyd Associate Editors Kenneth F. Miltner Business Manager Ed-ivard L. Cliney Advisor KENT ' S CAMPUS has a calm, placid look. It is considered by many to be the most beautiful campus in northeastern Ohio. KSU students hove a casual look about them, but beneath it there is on earnestness to better themselves, to look to the future. KENT FULFILLS AN OBLIGATION The 1958 Chestnut Burr does not purport to tell its readers the history of the University. A 50-year history, coupled with the Semicentennial Burr in 1960, will do that. The 1958 Burr will try to tell you what KSU is like right now, this school year, 1957-58. Instead, this book will try to analyze KSU. Kent is the second-largest state school in Ohio. As a state school, Kent has an obligation to the citizens of Ohio. It had been originally established as a teacher-training center. To this day a large number of graduates in the College of Education take their places in classrooms throughout the state to aid in developing Ohio ' s youth. As the school grew older, its curricula became broader in scope. Students with many ambitions came to study at Kent and then took their places in all forms of human endeavor. Their need for an unexpensive education was fulfilled. Construction and expansion are evident everywhere as KSU girds itself to prepare for its ever-increasing en- rollment, expected in 1970 to be more than 20,000. Extension centers are located throughout the state to provide college courses for those who do not have time to attend campus classes, either day or evening. CONTENTS Activities 26 Organizations 78 Sports 210 The University 246 FRONT CAMPUS during the summer is cool and green, with many shade trees dotting it. Walks criss-cross the campus, providing short-cuts for the students to Rockwell library and the clossroom buildings. BETWEEN CLASSES, students gather to talk. Some are intent, some frivolous. AFTER DARK, the lights of Rockwell library are a beacon to those seeking a study place. College Life Varied Although the acquiring ol an education is the primary reason tor the existence of college life, it is by no means the only aspect of our four-year stay on campus. Activities of every conceivable type fill the student ' s life outside the classroom. Often they will enable him to seek a fuller expansion or practical application of the skills acquired academically. There are basically two types of activities— all-campus and those on an organizational level. All-University acti- vities are primarily social or cultmal. Those on an organizational level can be of several types— religious, social, professional, recreational. All are primarily designed to allow the individual to adapt to the concept of group living. But activities are not the only aspect of student life outside of the classroom. Inevitably, there must be study- ing. Often there is research to be done at the library. At times the reading of a text assignment is enough. A combination of study and activities is often achieved, with both equally emphasized. DURING SPRING, summer and early fall many students are bitten their rooms. Sometimes a lecture class moves outdoors. Warm by the nature bug and prefer studying on the grass rather than in weather brings out short sleeves. FATIGUE is often the result of long hours of study and re- search. Sleeo often follows. BOOKS ARE the tools of a student ' s trade. Campus bookstores are well stocked. i. P- STUDENTS pass each other, some going to class, others for coffee, on an autumn day. Beauty Renowned IN SPRING, the hill in front of Merrill Hall is a pleasont spot to sit. The beauty of Kent ' s campus is well-known. Often sight-seers will drive from as far as Cleveland or Yoimgs- town just to admire it. This beauty has been a part of KSU since William Kent donated a piece of his land to the state. It was the original campus. On it was a large stand of chestnut trees. From them tlie annual gets its name. SNOW covers the campus in winter, mQi ing the walk in front of Kent Hall ond the Atrium o picturesque place for o young couple to walk during a Saturday stroll. NIGHT RALLIES and bonfires sponsored by Golden K were a new look in school spirit. They were held the night be- fore each home football gome. A snoke dance down Main Street was the signal that the rally was starting. Outlets Available A necessary part of college life is outside activities. There are many of these outlets for interested students, covering a wide range. All-University affairs range from events like Home- coming and Campus Day to Rowboat Regatta. For sports fans, spacious Memorial Gym and Memorial Fieldhouse hold many thrilling moments. FORMAL DANCES give Kent students a break from their normal routine. REIGNING ROYALTY awards trophies at Homecoming, Campus Day dances. EACH SPRING, students flock to one of the lakes near Kent to the Ivy League crew races. Picnic clothes end sun-tan lotion to watch the rowing contests at Rowboat Regatta, KSU ' s answer are a necessity. ENTHUSIASM reaches a high pitch at University athletic contests. .- «r ' ' ■• - j --%5? : TAPES in the Audio-Visual department ore an added aid in some courses. COCKPIT of an Air Force jet plane is one of the classrooms used in AFROTC training. ARMY ROTC students practiced the manual of arms as part of their college training. 10 STUDENT AND FACULTY art displays provide an op- portunity for many KSU students to broaden their cul- tural background. So do many concerts offered by the music school. Many Devices Further KSU Education TECHNICAL SKILLS are taught in Van Deusen hall, to prepare Many of them become teachers in high school. Others use these some Kent students for careers in the field of industrial arts. skills in other areas. AFTER DARK, the corridors of classroom buildings often take on a somewhat lonely look. Campus At Night Night brings a new look to the Kent campus. Classes continue, but are offered to a different type student. Most of the night students work during the day. Many of them teach in the area and are ivorking on master ' s degrees. The average night school student— there are about 1000 of them— is older than those foimd in day classes. There is a different atmosphere in night classes. And the campus itself looks different. Burr photo- graphers have recorded night views on these pages. FRANKLIN HALL is one of the centers of activity for night school. In it, night courses are offered in education, business administra- tion, philosophy and related courses. Many of them are graduate courses. 12 CONTINUING INTO THE NIGHT as the focal point of campus provide recreation, while the upstairs rooms are utilized for activities is the Kent State Union. The Hub and bowling alleys meetings. Classes Continue In Different Mood LIGHTS of Merrill Hall beom as night classroom activity con- music. Although some are on a basic level, most are ad- tinues. Night courses are offered in English, mothematics and vanced. ARCHITECT ' S DRAWING of proposed speech-theater- next year. It will house WKSU-FM, University The- radio building.

Hundreds an opportunity to improve skills. 14 KSU Boasts Of Service, Progress As ;i state university, Kent has a double obligation— to its students and to the citizens of Ohio. It serves by being a cultural as well as an educational center. It is constantly expanding, preparing to meet the ever-increasing demands ot a larger enrollment. As part ol its tiinction oi service, the University is the home ol many workshops, clinics and conferences de- signed to keep people informed on the latest advances and improvements in supplies antl techniques in their fields. An outstanding example of this is the annual Short Course in Photo-Journalism each spring. Renowned photographers from throughout the na- tion come to Kent to disctiss the latest trends in their field. It was at the Short Cotirse several years ago that the electronic flash unit to permit better action photo- graphy and save flashbidbs %vas introduced. Workshops are sponsored for people in education and its specialized fields, for industrial and business trends, such as the truckers workshop and insurance workshop. University facilities are open to area residents. Clinics, such as speech and hearing, guidance testing, reading, and psychology are widely used by many people not at- tending KSU. Faculty members are available for consultation with individuals and industry concerning their specialties. The physics department is engaged in a research pioject with an Akron rubber company. Other faculty members are available for speeches to groups with specific interests or for social grou])s con- cerning their work or experiences. REGISTRATION is one of the few times most of us hove had contact with the offices in the Atrium. But they continue serving the student body throughout the year when the need arises. TALKS by faculty members before area groups kept them informed about KSU. A SENSE of competition is instilled through such events as the Songfest on front campus. Students Mature Four years of college make subtle changes— and some- times not so subtle changes— in a person. The people we meet and friends we make, the places we go, the things we do and how we do them, all are different than when we started college. The full effect of four years shows itself on the graduating seniors. His college training completed, he looks to the future. NEW FRIENDS are made throughout the college career from the time we enter as freshmen. A GRADUATING SENIOR, books set aside, gazes through a Mer- for him. Four years of college life have prepared him for life. The rill Hall window at the Mall, wondering what the future will hold future holds further education or a job. 16 Placement Bureau The University maintains a Bureau of Appoint- ments lor placement of its students and graduates. Dr. Paul K. Howells last year replaced retired Dr. Lester H. Mimzenmayer as Bureau head. Situated in the balcony of the Administration Build- ing, the Bureau not only places students at graduation, but also carries many folders from places that employ sttidents during the summer months. Because the cooperation of the students, faculty and employers has been so great, the Bureau is now able to place the student while he is in school, at graduation and in later years. The student is urged to contact the office, where he is helped to find the right job. When a student applies to the Bureau, he is given a folder to fill out on information about himself. This in- cludes an aiuobiography, a list of courses taken while at- tending the University, a picture and other miscellan- eous information. The material is demanded by future employers. The Biueau of Appointments has placed students in many different jobs, including teaching, selling and other employment. The Bureau, after being contacted by the student, arranges interviews between the employer and the prospective employee. RUDY LIBERTINI received information about placement from Mrs. Darlene Tice in tine Bureau of Appointments. A PROMINENT graduate of Kent State University is Robert Cook, prosecuting attorney for Portage County. In the courtroom, where he spends much of his time, Cook uses the fine training gained at Kent. 17 ASPECTS OF physical science were discussed by Ronald Spacht, part-time professor. Though he is a chemist at the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company in AI ron, physical science class at night. Spacht has time to teach a University Increases Classroom Space WITH THE TOOLS of her trade beside her, Ann Maksir labored over a problem behind a drawing board. 18 Clicks of typewriters and business machines, smells from cooking and chemicals and sights of busy students are all familiar at Kent State University. Classroom buildings are equipped to handle each aspect of study offered at the University. Additional information is gained through student teaching, intern- ships and field trips. Increased enrollment has developed new problems at Kent State. By enlarging buildings and by transforming other structures, the University has been able to meet the growing demands. Students have access to 130,000 volumes and more tiian 800 current periodicals at Rockwell Library. The Library is being enlarged to facilitate additional books and more students. Construction is scheduled to be completed by fall quarter of 1958. More classes and clinics will be a ailable in the pro- posed three-and-a-half million dollar speech and music building. The structiue has been approved by state of- ficials, and construction is to begin next fall. By providing facilities, the University is helping the students develop skills and acquire knowledge which Avill be needed in their futme careers. One himdred and eighty acres have been piuchased since 1948 to meet the need for classrooms and buildings. Expansion seems to be the keynote at KSLT. DEMONSTRATING SOIL testing at the University Bog Is Dr. Green, Jerry Butchko, Bill Stallar, Beng Ho, Richard Gilchrist, Ralph Dexter, biology professor.

PREPARING TO be a good housewife was Edna Dixson as she threaded her sewing machine in class. 20 STANDING AT ATTENTION, the Reserve Officers ' Troining Corp underwent inspection. ROTC trains the University men for an officer ' s position in the United States armed service. Kent Offers Variety STUDENTS EXAMINE rock specimens for a geology class which was held in a laboratory in McGilvery Hall. Studies at KSU include nearly every field from art to zoology. McGilvery, Merrill, Franklin, Kent and Van Deusen Halls and the Memorial Fieldhouse contain lab- oratories and offices. Franklin Hall joined the list of classroom buildings in 1956 as the Lincoln .St. Building. It was formerly the University Training School. A modern University Training School was built near the Stadium on East Summit St. Through its facilities, education majors have an opportunity to teach ele- mentary and high school pupils. Student teachers also work in area schools. The Bertha L. Nixson Home Management House, Music Practice House, Military Science Building, North, South and W ' est Halls contain other facilities for classes and laboratories. Students may apph their newly gained knowledge in the laboratories and in off-campus situations, as well. The internship program and field trips enable students to learn more about their chosen profession. Field trips are usually taken to industries and other places in the area. Internships give the students actual working experience. The program aids the intertiees in getting employment in the future. By interdependency with the community, the Univer- sity provides an opportunity for concentrated study. The classrooms are important beginnings where KSU stu- dents gain a basic understanding of their field. WITHIN THESE ivy-covered walls is the sociol center of the Uni- or just loiter between classes ond after school because sooner or verslty. Freshmen soon learn that this is the spot to lounge, laugh later everyone comes in. TOM GIELING, r., received a Yul Brynner haircut from borber Dicl Mihalus as Glen Bell watched. RAKING CAMPUS may not be their favorite pastime, but mem- bers of the freshman class helped in the annual leaf rake. Students Enjoy Life Looking for a place to enjoy yourself? Some find satisfaction in the record library. Perhaps your interests are more on the social side. For you there is the Union lounge, bowling alley, Hub and, of course, the girls ' dorms. Here we find a great majority of our students saying goodnight; each in his own way. 22 HIDDEN IN the depths of Rockwell library, bustling with activity you may check the book out at 9 p.m. and read all night in order every night, is the reserve room. If you are one of the lucky ones, to have it back by 8:30 a.m. Scholastic Events Spur Kent ' s Students RON HORNERT studied as Dick Worthheimer and Gary Wetsel played chess. LARRY MARTIN, I., and Jerry Woodruff demonstrated a com- muter ' s dilemna as they fixed a flat. 23 THOUGH STUDYING in the library requires deep thought, it seems likely that the heads were not bowed in meditation. Some of the students believe in taking a short nap before tack- ling research for a term paper. Variety Is Keynote Wonder where your fellow students study? Some make use of the available space in their own rooms and dormitory lounges. For persons interested in getting away from roommates, various libraries are located about the campus. Others insist the Hub is the only place for them to study. In the spring, the call of the wild takes its toll as students take to the broad green carpet that surrounds these ivy halls of study. PROF. PETER ZUCCHERO of the biology depart- ment personally advised a student. AID WAS GIVEN to Nancy Miller by Peg McQuilken in the tedious task of washing hair. X SNOW AND NEAR-ZERO temperatures gave the campus a post- brought knee socks, stocking caps and ear muffs into prominence, card look. A mid-February cold-streak sent students scurrying, and This is how back campus looked. 25 HIGHLIGHTING THE front campus during the holiday season were the Nativity scene and lighted Christmas trees. Members of the freshman class decorate the lawn festively as one of their traditional activities. 26 ' tiUiti cUuLlies As Uic stiidciits ol Kent State progress through a year ol classes, study and work, the lirst excitement ol being back in school dims until it is non-existent. To relieve the monotony ol studies, the glitter of dances and other activi- ties highlight the evenings. The activities at Kent are the residt ol artistry, clever ideas, planning and teamwork. Plans for the next year ' s activities begin as soon as the ciurent one is past. Homecoming, Campus Day, Pork Barrel, Rowboat Regatta, University Theater plays. Top Hop and May Day Relays require weeks and months of plan- ning, both by individual organizations and the social committee. These activities do not just hap])en. Instead, the ideas must be born and nintured until the final production is staged. The varied program of activities at Kent pro- vides needed outlet. 27 LIVING UP to its nome, the Hub serves as the center of the stu- dent ' s recreational life. Hubsitting is a favorite pastime at Kent State. With the juke box playing in the background, students talk, eat and read. STRIKE OR SPARE? Bowling were, l.-r., Frank Rudibaugh, Chuck Hoffner and Tom Sisson. Lively Atmosphere It ' s a rare KSU student who goes tlirough four years of campus life without coming in contact at least once with the Kent Stale Union, as it ' s officially known, or its offspring, the Hub. Technically speaking, the Union fulfills all the stu- dents ' needs— from hunger through social life. The Hub provides a place to get a quick snack, make new friends or pass time with old ones. Sometimes you ' ll even find a hardy soul studying, although it seems hard between the controversial minals and the noise from the juke box. The lounge is (he li ing room of the Lhiiversity and a handy meeting place. The Portage Room is the scene of dances and banquets. Downstairs, students can bowl, shoot billiards or find a fomth for bridge in the card room. The KSU book- store is also located here. Meeting rooms for any tampus organizations, and such campus go erning bodies as Student Coimcil, IFC and Pan-Hellenic Coimcil are upstairs. Members of many of the organizations have stood barefoot on Union chairs while having Burr pictin-es taken. The faculty dining room is located on the second floor of the Union. Coupled with the Union Cafeteria and Hub, it is a part of the L ' nion ' s food service. 28 at ■« P ■ gg. SHOOTING POOL in the Union is one of the mcny pastimes of- fered to Kent State students.

New Student Week program was introduced for this purpose. In this brief duration of time, the frosh become acquainted with the campus, with their classmates and with the faculty. Upperclassmen voliuiteered to act as leaders for this week, and they aided their charges in registering for the first time. Extracurricular activities, held each night, provided the new students with an opportunity to see the other side of college life. A sing session introduced the more lamiliar of the Kent State songs. President and Mrs. George A. Bowman honored the freshman class with a reception at their home. After the reception, the students went to Memorial Gymnasium where they met the faculty at the annual Meet the Fac- ulty Night. Asking questions of the professors enabled the students to associate a few names with faces. The KSU Prevue highlighted some of the oiUstand- ing individuals and groups from a few of the last year ' s activities. Winning Pork Barrel skits and Campus Day songfest entrants were presented. The traditional gold antl Ijluc dinks ' vere worn and could not be removed until the football team had Avon its first victory of the season.

Dr. Richard Warner, head of the school of music, began the afternoon activities by playing a concert on the John A. Florek Memorial Bells, in honor of the parents who visited the campus that weekend. Preceding the football game with the Miami Red- skins, the fraternities had a chariot race. The Sigma Nu ' s won with Delta Upsilon running a close second. The races were a feature of Greek Week. The fathers of the members of the football squad were introduced to the crowd of 9,000 who witnessed the 27-13 defeat suffered by the Kent Flashes. During the gaine, the Dads sat oir a bench on the sidelines. Pinned to the back of each man, was the same number that his son was wearing on his jersey. Michael Logothetis, father of Sorrel Logothetis, was chosen as the representative father of the KSU students. Mr. Logothetis, a chef from Youngstown, was introduced during the half-time ceremonies by acting president of Studeirt Council, Stu Myers.

AN ADDED attraction at the intermission of the football gome on Dad ' s Day, was the fast-stepping Naval Cadet Drill team from Pensacola, Florida. They exhibited precision drill that has been viewed from coast to coast over the past few years. 35 Homecoming, 1957 Homecoming 1957 arrived at KSU on a cold weekend in October. The first snowfall of the season covered Kent as visitors swarmed to the campus. Decorations were wrapped with plastic to keep them from being ruined before the judging. Some groups did not erect their decorations until the early hours of Sat- urday morning. Journalism honoraries served at a coffee hour for returning alumni during the morning. A presentation was made to Mrs. Helen Westcott Dix, a 1938 graduate, as the outstanding journalism alum at the luncheon. Fraternities, sororities and dormitories held open house for the alums and friends. The Kent State Flashes were defeated by the Bowling Green Falcons, 13-7. Queen Kathleen Bamberger and her court were presented to the partisan crowd of 10,000 at the half-time ceremonies. The music of Duke Ellington ' s orchestra highlighted the dance at Memorial Gymnasium. Members of the orchestra, all noted soloists, added the touch needed to make this a memorable Homecoming.

Busy Fall Season Homecoming is the busiest time in a crowded fall calendar. For weeks beforehand, dorms and Greek and independent organizations make extensive plans for house displays, open houses and banquets. Starting the day before the game, thousands of alumni begin to pour into Kent for the weekend of festivities. The Union and the houses serve as focal points for the weekend, with the KSU Alumni Association sponsoring registration in the Union Loiuige. One of the highlights for retiuning journalism alumni is the annual tea and hmcheon sponsored by the j-school. ft is imique ainong the KSU departments. Highlighting the afternoon is the football game. Bowling Green, KSU ' s sister school, shares a long-time tradition with Kent. When the BG-KSU game is there, it is Bowling Green ' s Homecoming. When the game is played at Kent, it is KSU ' s Homecoming. Memorial Fieldhouse is filled for the final event, the dance at which the winning house decorations are an- nounced. The name band that plays will draw not only students and alumni, but guests from near-by cities as well. Social Committee, under-writing the event M ' ith student fee funds, sponsors the day. A THRONG OF more than 7,000 crowded into Memorial Field- house to dance to the Homecoming orchestra of Duke Ellington. Many stood listening instead of dancing to the unique style of El- lington, called America ' s foremost jazz composer. 38 KSU ROTC STUDENTS danced to the music of Charlie Spivak at Jones, seated at left.

Bev belongs to Alpha Xi Delta and is a joint corps sponsor for ROTC. Maureen was an attendant to the Military Ball Queen last year. BALL QUEEN was sophomore Sally Kaufmann, member of Alpha Phi sorority. At Christmas, KSU Takes A Break The Christmas season has a variety of meanings to KSU students. To many it is a religious feast. It sym- bolizes the birth of the founder of Christianity. To all, it marks a milestone in the school year— the end of fall quarter. The season is a busy time of year. There are finals, projects due, and presents to be bought for the family. The vacation period is one in which many Kent students find temporary employment. Some work in de- partment stores. Others sort and deliver mail. There are many parties to attend and friends to visit. But while the campus is devoid of students, work goes on as usual at the University. The offices of the registrar and treasurer are busy preparing for winter registration. Personnel in the departments have a two-fold job. Final examinations must be checked and grades mailed. Preparation must be made for the next quarter. Christmas tradition abounds at KSU. The freshman class annually decorates front campus for the event. A tree-lighting ceremony is held. Each day at noon and early in the afternoon, cam- pus organizations carol in the Union and Rockwell library. Students are invited to join in the singing. PRESIDENT GEORGE A. Bowman welcomed the crowd to the tree lighting ceremony on front campus. BLESSING THE CRIB at the Christmas service was the Rev. Fr. John Daum. In the background were President Bowman, Student Council Pres. Stuart Myers, Freshman Class President David Wright and Stan Permowicz, President of the Newman Club. 40 EXPLAINING THE Eastern Orthodox Liturgy Janet Kobiek, Diane Garick and Dorothy Winovich was the Rev. Leon Pachis. The Roman Catholic Mass and the Jewish Religious Service were also demonstroted during the Conference. COR Helps Students Evaluate Life A new dimension was added to campus life during winter quarter. It was in the form of a Conference on Religion which replaced Religious Emphasis Week. COR, under the sponsorship of the University Chris- tian Mission of the National Council of Churches, had five basic aims. They were: to confront the University as a whole with the resources and demands of religious faith; to seek the larger meaning of religion in every phase of life in the commimity; to recognize the im- portance of religion as the basis of integrity throughout every area of life: to provide for each person a more in- telligent basis for his own religious commitment and to stimulate a framework of thinking and living in the com- munity which will allow each person greater freedom to appreciate and deepen his religious experience. Cooperating in the promotion of COR were the Uni- versity Religious Council, B ' nai B ' rith through the Hillel Advisory Council and Je vish Chautaugua Society and the Roman Catholic Church of the Diocese of Youngs- town. Included in the week were lectures, seminars, class visits by the speakers and demonstrations and explana- tions of the Eastern Orthodox Litiugy, the Roman Cath- olic Mass and the Je vish Religious Service. DURING THE Conference, Charles King conducted singing in the Hub at noons. 41 Top Hop Was Tops On February 7, Karlyn Vaughan and Stuart Myers were crowned as Miss Kent State and Duke of Kent at Top Hop, an annual winter quarter dance. A crowd of 2,250 danced to the music of Les Brown ' s band, playing from a bandstand built over Memorial Gym ' s pool de- signed to give more dancing room.

Dave Jecman was the Stranger who contrived to get himself carried into a harem. Theta Chi Cops First In Pork Barrel KAREN SWANK, singing The Man I Love, was one of the in-between acts of Pork Barrel. Trying something new this year, the Pork Barrel Committee selected Songtitles as the theme for the skits in the 28th annual Pork Barrel. The songtitle could be used in the title of the skit, background music, or it could be worked into the action. Composed chiefly of fraternity and dormitory skits, Pork Barrel was presented February 14 in the University Auditoriiun. Pork Barrel offered several opportunities for talented individuals to appear publicly. The in-between acts this year brought many new campus personalities, besides already well-known acts, before the audience. Because of a short winter quarter, many groups felt that it was necessary to withdraw from this year ' s produc- tion for academic reasons. Alpha Phi was the only soror- ity to enter this year. Although the organizations had a smaller amount of time to work, there was no decrease in the quality of the skits. Evolving from annual amateur shoM ' s vhich were put on by individuals between 1921 and 1930, the origi- nal piupose of the production was to provide an oppor- tunity for talented students to perform. In the beginning it was not uncommon to have a simimer performance. The groups were organized as to their home comities and competed against one another. 44 IN-BETWEEN ACT Bernie Smith, flanked by his twin brothers, made his final Pork Barrel appearance. ALPHA PHI ' S production of We ' re Off To See the Wizard was the only sorority entry.

News— a report of a recent event is the definition that some journalism textbooks give lo this little word that means so much in everyday life. Each year many events occur on the Kent State cam- pus or on any campus, for that matter, that never get recorded in the yearbook. This year is no exception. Most students will have memories of events that hap- pened around KSU that did not appear in the Burr. Some of the events are ones to be happily remembered while still others would best be forgotten. Since the last yearbook was published, many changes have been made at Kent State. Two faculty members have died during the last year. Prof. Roy Metcalf, direc- tor of the KSU Twin Marching Bands, died on July 4, 1957. Professor Metcalf had originated the idea of the Twin Bands in 1926 and had made the band one of the best in the nation. During fall quarter Dr. John Popa, professor of history at Kent since 1946, died. Surface changes have also occmred on KSU ' s 320 acres. Construction around the campus is a never-ceasing activity. Soon the library addition will be finished. Plans for new buildings have been approved. Personalities make appearances at the University. All of this is news that will be remembered for years to come. What will the future hold? News will tell. PRESIDENT GEORGE A. Bowman received the charter for the Kent State chapter of Phi Eta Sigma, notional freshman scholastic hon- orary, from James E. Foy. Foy serves as the secretary for the national organization. 50 SLIDING DOWN ACROSS front campus on trays borrowed from of extreme cold plus all the snow that covered Kent this winter the cafeterias is a well-known Kent State winter sport.

THREE GAMMA Phi Betas, l.-r., Sally Pierce, Carol Hall and Bea Roth modeled a few of the leis which they helped to sell at the annual Penny Carnival. The Hawaiian theme won first place for Gamma Phi in the sorority division. Penny Carnival, ' 57 Vith Penny Carnival booths, barkers and crowds, Wills Gymnasium assumed a festive atmosphere on Apr. 27. Delta Upsilon, Gamma Phi Beta and Moulton Hall won trophies for gaining the greatest profit from their booths. Carnival contestants were entered in three divisions, including fraternity, sorority, and independent. Moulton Hall, winner in the independent division, challenged the attendants to throw ping pong balls in the mouths of two dragons. A Chamber of Horrors, including within its walls a body in a coffin, gained first place in the fraternity di- vision for Delta Upsilon. No carnival is complete without leis to be worn around the neck, and Gamma Phi Beta earned the num- ber one position in the sorority division by selling these paper adornments. Cardinal Key and Blue Key, the two national service honoraries, sponsored the event for scholarship funds and the Penny Stater fund. The scholarships are pre- sented to one boy and one girl graduating from high school. The Penny Stater fund provides finances for the campus newspaper which is sent to the servicemen. Penny Carnival began in 1942 under the auspices of the War Activity Council. The event was organized then to raise money for the Penny Stater finrd. ED URSCHLER served Bob Battisti ' s head a Penny Carnival in the Chamber of Horrors. 53 THRONGS OF students jammed the front yard of the Sigma Phi Epsilon house for the annual May Day Relays. Sponsored by the Sig Eps and Gamma Phi Betas, the relays proved to be real tests of strength for all who entered. Phi Delts, Engleman Score In Relays HELEN MOISE and Mary Ann Allen skillfully passed the matchbox as they attempted a victory for the Phis. The annual May Day Relays, co-sponsored by Sigma Phi Epsilon and Gamma Phi Beta, were held on the large front lawn at the Sig Ep house. Groups began to gather before the scheduled time. Many cheered their favorites, and others were the lucky ones chosen to represent their respective fraternities, sor- orities, and independent groups. Dressed in their oldest clothes, the competitors were ready to participate in such events as the pie-eating con- test, chugging cokes from b(ntles with nipples attached, passing a matchbox vith the nose, tossing eggs, and liiree-leggcd races. These were just a few of the 11 con- tests that were open to the entrants. Winning first place honors in the men ' s division, which included both Greeks and independents, was Phi Delta Theta. The men of Kappa Sigma placed second, and t vo groups. Varsity K and Sigma u. tied for third place. Engleman Hall topped the women ' s division, follow- ed by the women of Delta Gamma and . lpha Phi, sec- ond and third, respectively. Started in 1956 as an all-Greek event, the first Relays were held on the library lawn. They were moved off- campus to the Sig Ep house because of the construction tor the library addition and the parking lot. HOPEFUL OF winning, the girls of Verder passed a water- filled balloon at the Relays. LYING WITH eyes closed in concentrated effort was Phi Sigma Kappa ' s coke chugger, Roy Harold. 1 1 Contests Spark 1 957 May Day Races JUANITA KELLY screamed in terror as she watched a sister Chi fall behind in a Relay ' s contest. RICHARD AHERN, professor of architecture at KSU, emceed the May Day Relays. 55 Campus Day, 1957 Cloudy weather failed to extinguish the enthusiasm at Kent State as the 44th annual Campus Day arrived. Morning activities started with the traditional paint- ing of the K by the Delta Upsilon K-Girl. The honor for 1957 went to Miss Lillian Pollack, a member of Alpha Chi Omega. Lillian was pinmate of Dan Patridge. Mrs. Bruce Silcher, wife of the head of the University ' s Air Force ROTC detachment, was honorary K-Girl. The K ceremony originated in 1923 when Kappa Mu Kappa fraternity, the local which preceded Delta Upsilon, dedicated a large K to the University with the hope that others would add a letter each year until Kent State was written across the campus. University officials decided to nrake the K ceremony a tradition with Kappa Mu Kappa giving it a fresh coat of paint each year. The painting of the K was delegated to the fraternity sweetheart in 1948. On Campus Day, the carillon bells made their initial appearance. The John A. Florek Memorial Bells were a gift to the University from the classes of 1957, ' 58, ' 59, ' 60 and John A. Florek. Florek was a KSU alumnus killed in the Korean conflict. He left his insurance money to the University to be used for the school ' s betterment. As crowds of students, parents, alumni and towns- people gathered on the front campus. Queen Joan Lind- say was crowned by Zane Saunders, president of Student Council. She and her court watched as the traditional Maypole Dance was performed. CAMPUS DAY Queen Joan Lindsay graciously viewed her subjects from a convertible rather than a royal coach. HER HONOR Chris Connor entertained the dancers with her misty and relaxed singing style. THE CROWD gathered to hear the versatile tempo of music, played by Larry Sonn and his band. 56 QUEEN JOAN was assisted with her cape as she led attendants retiring procession of the crowning ceremony.

WITH APPREHENSIVE looks, the Phi Delta Thetas owoited their turn to enter songfest competition. DU ' s, Terrace Win The parade started 15 minutes late — but not late enough to dampen the spirits of the 15,000 persons lined along the parade route. Cartoon and comic strip characters were featured on the floats. Judging was based on theme, originality, craftsmanship and over-all effect. Winning in the float competition from the fraternit) ' division was Delta Upsilon with The Mountain Daze. Delta Tail Delta ' s Li ' l Abner copped second place.

BEGINNING THE day ' s festivities at the top of Midway Drive were these derby entrants who were ready to go. 61 STARS OF NTFC, Jess Wiseman, Audrey Mclntire, Shirley Kollos and Manuel Paradeses joined the chorus in the wedding scene from Guys and Dolls. With final dress rehearsals scheduled for the next night, last-minute changes were made. NTFC Scores Hit With Guys and Dolis No Time for Classes, the all-student show sponsored by Student Council, borrowed from Broadway its presenta- tion of Guys and Dolls. The show, written for the stage by Abe Burrows and Jo Swerling, and with Frank Loesser ' s words and music, is an adaptation of Damon Runyan stories depicting his beloved New York and its strange cast of characters. Guys and Dolls concerns gambler Sky Masterson, played by Jess Wiseman, and his escapades, especially his romance with Sarah Brown, a Salvation Army lass, played by Audrey Mclntire. A second story involves Nathan De- troit, owner of New York ' s oldest established permanent floating crap game. and night club ciuie, Adelaide. Man- uel Paradeses appeared as Nathan, and Shirley KoUas, as Adelaide, again wowed audiences as she did two years ago in Wonderful Town. NTFC was produced by l ichard Oborne and ciirected by Nancy Wynn. Dave Jecmen and Joan Butterfield did the choreography for this lively show. Other standouts in the large cast were Robert Spanabel as Nicely-Nicely John- son, Eleanor King as Mimi, Dan Warnicke as Benny South- street, Richard Csaszar as Big Jule, and Fred Afeit.?er and Joanne Hobensack as Salvation Army workers. NTFC was a student-written show until Finian ' s Rain- bow was presented three years ago. This plan was followed in 195() when Kent State scored a triumph by presenting the first amaieur production of Wonderful Town. PRODUCTION STAFF, Richard Oborne, Nancy Wynn, Bob Wil- liams ond Dave Jecmen, appraised the show. 62 Graduation, 1957 Dr. Cieorge A.

Robed seniors paraded to the podium lo receive the reward for their efforts — a degree. The time spent in receiving the diploma was short in comparison to the years spent earning it. A handshake, congratidations, diploma, and it was over. A realization remained that Kent State University had ]3repare(l each graduate for a better life by imparting knowledge. FOUR YEARS OF studies, fun and extracurricular activities ended when the Class of 1957 received diplomas. DR. GEORGE A.

Summer Activities Summer meant vacation time to most KSU students but not to those on campus. Regular activities contin- ued on a small scale as students enrolled in one or both of the summer sessions. Vacationing students were not forgotten since plans were made for the freshmen and returning upperclass- men. Summer, as the other seasons, is dedicated to pro- ducing educated men and women. Both siunmer sessions are equivalent to one quarter. COMBINING WORK with pleasure, a nun sot in the sun and studied during one afternoon in the summer. IN LO AND BEHOLD were cast, l.-r., J.

One of the most pleasant yet harassing jobs at KSU is choosing one of the University ' s many queens. Candidates appear in everything from shorts and tee- sliirts to cocktail dresses, depending on the queenship. The room where the judging is held is crowded. Some coeds sit tensely, others do homework until their number or name is called, and it is time to do their stroll in front of the judges. Then, for the candidate, there is a moment of strain as she walks before the judges. For the judges, it is just another good-looking coed to be coldly and impersonally analyzed. Does she have poise? What about her grades? Is she well-groomed? What about her face and figure? The girl sits down. The judges pause and consider their scores. A total is made of the score. More waiting before the semi-finalists are selected. Elation for some, depression for others. More tension. Then only a few remain, the finalists. One of them is a queen. But which one? Some queens are announced right away, but not the Burr Queen. It took four months of waiting for Maineen Reeves to find that she was Chestnut Burr Queen. It was a long wait, but worth it. BURR QUEEN Judges Ken Mlltner, Robert Swarfout, Idabelle Hoose, Edward Cliney, Ralph Kingzett and Scorer Ed Glassner noted the beauty and poise of Queen Maureen Reeves, selected from a group of more than 100 women. Maureen wos 74 The 1958 Chestnut Burr Staff Salutes At the request ol the 1958 Burr staff. Dean of Men Glen T. Nygreen and Dean of Women Margaret Davis have selected eight seniors as the outstanding members of their class. It is not easy to state the qualifications needed in order to be classified as outstanding. For foin years the students have contributed time, talents and efforts to the University. Realizing that they owe as much of an obligation to the University as the University owes to them, the outstanding seniors ha e worked for the bet- terment of KSU. Belonging to a Greek organi ation is not a must to qualify as outstanding. This year three independents ha e been selected as contributing outstanding qualities to KSU. With skills ranging from athletic to scholastic, the students have still foimd the lime to donate service to the school. Extra-curricidar activities reach a maximimi rather than a minimum for these students who can still excel academically. Listing honoraries among their achieve- ments, these students have been the leaders of arious organizations. To these, the Outstanding Seniors of 1958, the Chest- nut Burr gives its salute. From Voungslown, Sorrel Logolhetis is majoring in comprehensive social studies. A member of Delta Up- silon. Sorrel serves as vice president of Phi Alpha Theta, president of IFC, a member of the Greek Week Commit- tee and IFC representative to the national conference for two years. A three-year letterman on the tennis team, he also belongs to Varsity K, Eastern Orthodox Fellowship, Blue Key and SEA. An education major from Akron, Nancy Lee was last year ' s outstanding junior woman. She was president of Alpha Chi Omega and Association of Women Stu- dents, vice presi dent of Cardinal Key and secretary of her jimior and senior classes. Nancy edited the Kent Coed and was sorority editor of the 1957 Burr. She was an attendant to the Homecoming Queen in ' 57. A mem- ber of SEA, Nancy was also active in Sharks Club. 75 1 Seniors Who Have Been Outstanding | Beverly Redinger, elementary education major from Washington, Pa., has served on Student Council for three years.

This was a scene from Univer- sity Theatre ' s winter production of Liliom, a classic by Ferenc Molnar. 78 a mamza tlonS Although the organizations at Kent State Uni- versity differ in size, purpose and activities, the groups have one basic aim— to allow persons with a common objective to unite. Besides giving the student an o]jportiniity to learn, organizations aid him in gaining a well- rounded personality. Membership in the campus groups may help the student to develop leader- ship and other qualities which will benefit him after graduation. Activities recei e a boost from the organiza- tions on campus. Participation is not the only contribution made by the groups. The organ- izations sponsor such activities as Pork Barrel and Penny Carnival. Awards highlight the year for the organiza- tions. The outstanding members are honored with trophies and medals. Scholarships and financial aid are given to deserving students in certain fields. 79 2-Court System Serves Kent Students Kent State University ' s judicial power is vested in High Coiut. Three students appointed by Student Council and two i ' acuhy members appointed by Pres. George A. Bowman are members of tlie Court which tries cases involving the student government. The Court also handles other disputes. If the students in different classes argue, the case is referred to High Court. It settles controversies among the organizations on campus. All impeachments are handled by the Court unless they extend to a student member of the court. With good behavior the students hold their position on the Court until they graduate. The chief justice is designated by Council from among the student members. Another prominent organization in the KSU student government is the l raffic Court. This organization passes judgment on all student traffic offenders who are brought to its attention by the University Police. The three Traffic Court justices are selected by the Student Council.

In the winter quarter election, the students approved an amendment to change the eligibility clause for the president. The clause had stated that to be president a student must have served for one year on Council. The amendment made the clause read two quarters. A second amendment was approved stating that the vice president automatically could assume the office, duties and responsibilities of the president in the case that Coimcil would find itself without one. Until this time, a special election was held to fill the vacancy when Council was without one. Prof. Paul Kitchen is the group ' s advisor.

Their election is based on the four basic jjrinciples of the organization— leadership, character, scholarship and service. The purpose of M.S. A. is to help men students by providing a functional social service. Every winter quarter the Association co-sponsors Pork Barrel with the Association of Women Students. Pork. Barrel features short skits by campus organizations, and it is a highlight of the scholastic year. As a new proce- dure, this year ' s show had a theme, a plan not tried previously. M.S.

Serves Kent State The principles ol Golden K are to act as a service or- ganization for the support ol official programs of Kent State and Student Council and to tiuther the community spirit of the University. The group has an electi e official known as a hostess who sees that visiting groups are given a conducted toin of the campus and its facilities. Golden K initiated an inno ation this year. The ' orking K s are the pledges of the organization who must prove their willingness to work for the betterment of the University. The pledges make signs to advertise coming athletic events and to encourage school spirit. By selling dinks to freshmen and mimis for Homecom- ing, the group makes enough money to care for the KSU mascot, Golden Flasher II. Representatives of 1 1 campus organizations compose the Golden K ' s. This year Golden K helped to send the swimming (cam to Florida during Christmas vacation. Dining -win- ter quarter, Golden K partially paid the expenses to send sprinter Andy Bajcsa to the AAU meet in New York ' s Madison Square Garden. An annual banquet is held in January to honor the new Golden K members. 86 Varsity Lettermen The Varsity K CUiib was createil to promote stiulent participation in physical education and to form a com- mon bond among varsity athletes. Maintaining ties between the athletic department and the alinnni is another of the club ' s aims. Varsity K stresses cooperation, gooti sportsmanship anil high scholarship. Organized by Merle Wagoner, athletic director in 1927, the club ' s original functions were having dances and organizing the first University Homecoming. Defunct during World War II, it was reorganized in 1946 by Trevor Rees. An athlete who earns a varsity letter automatically becomes a member of the club. Broken bones and bruises are not a prerequisite but most Kent athletes seem to acquire them at one time or another. The Varsity K sponsored a dame this year for which a queen was chosen. Queen Mickey Miller was attended by Mary Allen and Pat Jaffrin. The group has seven honorary members. Among the honorary group are two women, Mrs. Doris Kot, a secre- tary in the athletic office, and Dr. Elizabeth A. Leggett, a former University physician.

The basic aim of the Institute is to facilitate by all available means the interchange of technical ideas among aeronautical engineers throughotit the world. Students are affiliates of the professional group. The desire to fly motixates KSU stutlents to join the Flying Club. Chartered by the state, the grotip was one of the first of its kind to be established. Planes and some instruction are supplied by the club at a minimum cost.

Here are cases where liiiman resources are readily available and neeil only be recognized and mc lded to be- come more nearly perfect. Students are given many opportimities to lUili .e their ability. Often the judges antl tlie audience are unaware of the long hours and hard work that have preceded the presentation. Not only do the indi idual participants benefit, but the University and commimity derive much pleasine and enjoyment from observing (he perlormers in their partic- ular roles. This part ol the University strives for recognition in the line ol quality and not cpianiity. Every quarter is a busy one for the students engaged in these activities. Theirs is a situation which necessi- tates effort being put forth until a satisfactory goal is attained. Reward comes wih the realization that a good performance has been achieved.

Kent State ' s Band The Kent Stale University Band assumed a new look this year under the direction of Edward Masters. The famed Twin Marching unit was converted into a single band during fall quarter. Professor Masters succeeded Prof. Roy D. [etcall who died on July 1. In 1929, Professor Metcall organ- ized KSU ' s first student hand. The former diredor de- veloped the gold and liiiic Twin Marcliing Bands foi which the University was noted. The ])resent band is placing ils emphasis on sounti. The nimiber of majorettes has been reduced. Rather than being led by the majorettes, the marching unit is headed by a drum major. Concentrating on gootl music, the Uni ersity Band spends much time in practice. The group perfoinis ap- proximately 15 minutes during half-time ceremonies al ball games, but rehearsal is several times that figure. The concert band is beginning to assimie a prominent position under Professor Masters. At a concert during winter quarter, the band presented a program that the area high schools will use in spring competition. Any student who plays a band instrument may enroll in the band for one hour of credit. Members are selected on the basis of interviews, auditions, previous records and recommendations. BAND DIRECTOR Edward Masters came to KSU from the University of Kansas. 94 CHEERING THE football team to victory is the University Band with the majorettes.

A Cappella Choir Madrigal Singers The A Cappella Choir is one of the most active musi- cal groups on the Kent State campus. Each quarter many requests for the choir to appear in concerts in the area are received. Music critics in northeastern Ohio have commented favorably about the A Ca]j|)eIIa Choir. Prof. Robert Foulkes directs the group. The Madrigal singers are selected from the larger Kent choir. Under the direction of Prof. Robert Foulkes, they appear in concerts at Kent State and schools in northeastern Ohio. Madrigal is defined by ' ebster ' s dictionary as an lui- accompanied singing of a ])oem in a musical setting of five or six parts.

WKSU-FM, The Daily Kent Stater and Chestnut Burr serve as practical aids to students studying in the fields of speech and joiunalism. The students are given the opportunity to gain pro- fessional experience while attending the University. Per- sons in other fields may also work on the publications and at the radio station. Each year additions and impro ements are made to the systems so that the operations keep pace with similar ones in the business world. Funds to insiu ' e the fimctioning of the radio station, the Burr and the Stater are supplied by the student activ- ity fees. Commtmication is a vital part of everyday life, and Kent State is no exception. mommq onan ELAINE HELMER and Judy Baker were preparing to do the Children ' s Program as Chuck Hoffner woited in the background. Dave Wright and Libby Kirk read over the script and made final corrections for the Coeds Corner show. AT THE CONTROL boord, Don Deemer started a program ' s recorded introduction. Voice Of Campus Serving as The Community Voice ot Kent State Uni- versity is tlie campus radio station, WKSU-FM. Oper- ating since 1950, the station is piped into the campus dormitories by a special wiring system. Not limiting itselt to serving University students, the station considers the largest part of its audiences to be citizens ot Kent and the surrounding area. Perhaps the highlighting featme of the station is the KSU Quiz which pits panel members representing various campus groups against each otlier in competition lor an annual trophy. More than 20 years ago Prof. G. Harry Wright ini- tiated some radio courses into the University ' s speech curriculum. Five years later in cooperation with com- mercial radio stations in the area, a radio workshop began. Today the station is still imder the direction of the school of speech. Students enrolled in radio-speech courses receive radio personnel training for their future careers. The station is a member of the National Association of Education Broadcasters and is licensed by the Federal Communication Commission.

By reading its four pages on Tuesday through Friday, the University faculty and students are informed about KSU activities. With the motto, Noth- ing Short Of Right Is Right, the staff gathers the news. Guiding Stater policy during spring quarter, 1957 were Editor Phil Miracle and Managing Editor June Thomas. In the fall, Don Kirkman served as editor while Jay Moody was managing editor. Editor Jay Moody directed the Stater in the winter with Managing Editor Jack Major. During fall quarter, the Associated Collegiate Press announced that the Stater had been rated one of the top 18 collegiate newspapers in the United States. The paper had 40 points above the minimum number for a first- class rating. Twenty-six other colleges were entered in the same category of competition. Though the Stater is not limited to jomnalism majors, the publication serves as a laboratory for the School of Journalism. A Stater class offering one hour of credit was begun this year. The class involves one class period and six hoius of work dining the week. PHIL MIRACLE and June Thomas were editor and managinc editor spring quarter, 1 957. DON KIRKMAN edited the Stater during fall quarter and Jay Moody was managing editor.

Within the green walls of the dungeon — as the office was called— the stall worked frantically to meet the ever-pressing deadlines. The one-bmner hotplate was kept busy making cof- fee and tea lor the ones who continuetl working after the Hub was closed for the night. Some mornings members of the editorial staff crept out of the dormitory at 6 a.m. to get to the Burr office. Dedicated souls? No, just Burr staff members. This is the staff and this is the book that was pro- duced for 1958. AMONG HIS MANY campus activities, Ralph Kingzett edited the 1958 Burr. ASSOCIATE EDITOR Betty Gatchel took a break.

KEN MILTNER, senior accounting major, spent many hours as the Burr ' s business manager. Men Behind Scenes Keep Burr Going Giving their time, assistance and advice to the daily newspaper and the yearbook were William Fisher and Edward Cliney. This was the third year that Mr. Fisher has been the faculty advisor of the Stater. Mr. Cliney began his initial year as Chestnut Burr advisor. The two emphasize that they are only advisors and that the decisions of policy should be determined by the student editors and staffs. Yet, advice is willingly given when the staff members have a problem that is too diffi- cult for them to decide. The advisors serve as permanent members of the StudentTacidty Publications Policy committee. Mr. Fisher and Mr. Cliney provide professional guidance and technical advice to the staffs, thus insuring the best standards of journalism. Working with yearbook staffs was nothing new for Mr. Cliney. He was the student editor of the 1952 Chest- nut Burr. Still, he was unaware of all the problems that the 1958 yearbook staff : c)uld meet. He handled the situation admirably. Mr. Cliney graduated from Kent State in 1953 and has his MSJ degree from Northwestern University. He is an instructor of journalism. This was his first year at Kent State. Mr. Fisher came to Kent in 1950. He became the Stater advisor in the fall of 1955. He received his AB degree from Franklin College and his MS} degree from Northwestern. He is an associate professor. ADVISORS William Fisher and Edward Cliney serve on the Publications Policy Committee. 104 Religion At KSU Kent State University has a full-fledged religious pro- gram which embraces many faiths. Giving the students an opportunity to grow religiotisly are two Lutheran groups, three Methodist organizations, Hillel for mem- bers of the Jewish faith, Eastern Orthodox Fellowship, the Newman Club for Roman Catholics and the United Christian Fellowship which includes members of the Baptist, Disciples of Christ, Congregational, Episcopal. Universalist, Presbyterian, Evangelical and Reformed and Evangelical United Brethren faiths. A highlight of the religious year at Kent State is the Conference on Religion, formerly known as Religious Emphasis Week. Speakers from throughout the United States come to the campus each January to discuss such topics as marriage and family problems. Students face many problems in attaining their goals. The religious organizations on campus provide a source of strength through which students can often solve their problems. In this way the individuals may acquire a richer understanding of life. JOHN FARINACCI assisted Pother John Daum with Communion at Moss on the Commons. Catholic Students Named alter Henry Cardinal Newman, the Newman Club is a national organization for Catholic students. The main objectives o£ the Club are to provide religious and social activities for its members. Religion classes are offered every week. Mass is said daily in the Union, and the Rosary is recited on the campus in the afternoon. Weekend activi- ties include fireside chats at Fred Fuller park, informal dances, two all-University formals, coffee hours and pic- nics. In the spring, the Club sponsors field masses for Catholic sttidents. Through these varied activities, the Club offers something for all the Catholic students at- tending Kent State University. In addition to this heavy schedule, the Club also sponsors a monthly Communion breakfast at St. Patrick ' s Church and pilgrimages to local shrines. The Newmanite is the Club ' s official publication. It is a newspaper written and ptiblished by the members.

Founded at the Uni- versity of Illinois in 1911, the organization was estab- lished at Kent on May 15, 1935. Kappa Delta Pi strives to encourage high profes- sional, intellectual and personal standards and to recog- nize outstanding contributions to the field of education. A 3.3 accumulative average for juniors and a 3. for seniors are prerequisites for membership. To learn more about Kappa Delta Pi ' s program, the group ' s officers attend the national convention of the honorary. The ideas gained at the convention are ap- plied on the local level. Educational Leadership Day is sponsored by the members of the group during fall quarter. An assembly in the morning features a speaker from the field of education. The conference closes after a pledging cere- mony and a banquet in the evening. Kappa Delta Pi holds the Honors Day Tea during spring quarter. The tea honors students who have an accumulative average of 3.5 or better. Dr. Gerald Read and Mr. John Durance of the De- partment of Education serve as advisors to the KSU chapter of the national education honorary.

Applauds Scholars Phi Gamma Nu, women ' s business honorary, was or- ganized to encourage school spirit and participation in school activities, to further academic study and to pro- mote standards of high scholarship. Established at Kent State in 1951, the honorary serves as a social as well as professional group. The fraternity was founded at Northwestern University in 1924. A 2.7 accinnulative average is required for member- ship. The applicant must have completed nine hoins of commerce, a total of 60 hours and have a major in one of the business courses. The chapter on the Kent State campus has 1 8 members. As a national project. Phi Gamma Nu uses the proceeds from a National Magazine Agency and Birth- day Pennies Fund to buy portable typewriters for veter- ans ' hospitals throughout the country. Two annual scholarships are presented by the na- tional organization. The Phi Gamma Nu Scholarship Key is awarded to the senior woman commerce major with the highest scholastic average. The other honor— a scholarship cup— is presented to a chapter rather than a person. The recipient of the cup is the chapter which had the highest accinnulative scholastic average for the preceding year.

At the same time the organizations, as a unit, help the Univer- sity to perform various campus-wide lunctions. Kent ' s sororities and fraternities phin programs that aid students in college adjtistment and place special emphasis on the development of scholarship, personality, leadership abilities and character growth. The fraternity system offers opportunities lor the furthering of special interests and talents, ft provides an atmosphere of living which affords a learning situation —that of learning to live with persons of different inter- ests, religions and personalities, fn addition, the system offers opportimities Ic r the de elopment ol interesting and lasting frienilships. The Greeks have a full social life, both as individual chapters and as a luiit participating in the functions of the University. The iniits, although supervised by Pan-f4ellenic and Inter-Fraternity Council, are entirely self-governed. IFC Governs 18 Fraternities At Kent OFFICERS, l.-r., row 1 : Benjamin McGinnis, Adv.; Sorrell Logo- thetis, Pres.; Art Meinhardt, Vice Pres. Row 2: Tom West- ring, Sec; Ralph Shanobruch, Chap.; Joe Tirpak, Treas.- Elect.; Bruce Armour, Treas. An important campus function is fulfilled by Inter- Fiaternity Council which serves as the governing body lor the 18 campus fraternities. The Council ' s membership is composed of the presi- dent anil one delegate from each fraternal organization. For 17 years, the group has aimed to promote and en- courage personal development of its members in the in- tellectual, social and cultural fields. Perhaps the group ' s most important activity is regula- tion of each winter quarter ' s closed fraternity rushing period. It also promotes a spirit of lively competition among campus fraternities by awarding trophies to the winners in nine major intramural sports. IFC promotes fraternity rushing activities through publication of KSU Fraternities, and the Greeks in general through co-sponsorship of Greek AVeek with Pan- Hellenic Council, the sorority governing body. A noteworthy IFC effort came fall quarter when the group took a stand against trophy-taking raids on its member organizations. Following similar action by the National Inter-Fra- ternity Conference, the local IFC passed four resolutions reiterating the right of its member fraternities to select for membership only those men they desire.

Row 2: Gerry Shull, Vice Pres.; Karlyn Vaughan, Treas. Controlling the inter-sorority relationships on the Kent campus is Pan-Hellenic Cotuicil. A national organization, Pan-Hellenic is composed ol equal representation from each of the eight sororities. Each Greek group elects two members plus the president of the sorority to serve on the Coimcil. As publishers of the book It ' s All Greek To Me, (Council guides the rushing period of the sororities. Dur- ing the rushing period, Pan-Hellenic serves as a go- l etween for the eight sororities and the rushees. It de- termines all the rules that apply to both the sororities and the rushees during this time. Council informs both groups of the preliminaries and rules, and it passes judg- ment on the breaking of these rules. To maintain a high plane of fraternity life and in- ter-fraternity relations with the Uni ersity is the aim of the Council. Stri ing to make sororit ' life an opportimity for its nrembers, Pan-Hellenic was purposely set up to encourage personal development of the affiliated women. Rotation of the officers ' chairs assures the eight-mem- ber sororities that representation will be equal. Advisor to the Council is Miss Margaret Forsythe, Associate Dean of Women. 147 CATCHING THE ey es of passers-by is a sign bearing the Greek letters of Alpha Chi Omega. im Alpha Chi Omega Alpha Chi Omega was founded at Depauw University, Oct. 15, 1885. The Gamma Lambda chapter appeared on Kent ' s campus on April 1, 1950. With Together let us seek the heights as their inotto, it is easily explained why the Alpha Chis have re- ceived many honors. The women captined the tirst-place scholarship award lor sororities at Kent and ranked among the top eight chapters of their national organization. The sorority won third place for Songfest and float contests last year on Campus Day. The Alpha Chis placed second in Row- boat Regatta, and the president of the sorority was an attendant to the Homecoming Queen. In accordance with their national philanthropy, the A Chi O ' s work with the Cerebral Palsy Foundation in Akron. Locally, their civic interest centers around the Speech and Hearing Therapy Clinic. Alpha Chi Omega is interested in developing both the strength of the members and the strength of the group through the sorority life. Committees from the active chapter form a board for pledges to help the new members form good study habits and high standards of conduct. Pledge guidance forms an important part of the Alpha Chi Omega personnel and standards program.

On Dec. 6, 1957, the Kent State chapter celebrated its tenth anniversary. Members ol . lpha Gam are noted ior their scholar- shi]3 qualities. The local chapter received the first place trophy lor the province at the national convention held in Del Goronado, Calif, last year. The women from Kent placed also on the national achievement honor roll. Believing that Alpha Gamma Delta should serve more than the University world, their national philanthropic program aids the field of cerebral palsy. At KSU the women annually sponsor a Christmas party for the slow learners from a special education class. An international sorority with 66 chapters in the United States, Canada and Hawaii, the women actively participate in numerous campus activities.

Ai Sponsor All Greek .Since their ioimding in 1(S72, the Alpha Phis have giown in membership and stature as evidenced by the Kent chapter ol the sorority. The Alpha Phi chapter has been on the KSU campus since 1948. The Alpha Phi philanthropic program centers around cardiac aid and the National Heart Fund. In addition, the local chapter annually sponsors a Christmas party for the imderpri ' ileged children of Kent. The Phis emphasize personality growth for the active members as well as the pledge classes. Results of their effective leadership program are shown by the numerous campus responsibilities assumed by the Silver and Bor- deaux sorority members. The chapter participated in all the campus functions and won two trophies by winning first for Homecoming decorations and second in Songfest. Their social calendar also includes the All-Greek dance, an annual event at Myers Lake. A motto of the group might be brains and beauty, ' for they boast a Campus Day Queen and a Greek Veek Co-Queen as well as attendants to other queenships. The chapter varies its personal and scholarship pro- grams by supporting intramural activities with a special emphasis placed on participation in volleyball, basket ball and swimming.

Founded In 1 893 Founded in 1893 at Lombard College in Galesburg, Jll., Alpha Xi Delta established their Beta Tau chapter at Kent State in 1947. Socially speaking, the Alpha Xis annually co-sponsor the Pumpkin Prom with their brothers, the Delta Up- silons. The pledges have the Gold Digger ' s Dance for the active members. Their main social events of spring quarter are the Rose Formal, a dinner dance and a spa- ghetti dinner which is open to the public. For their civic projects, the women sponsored a Christmas party for imderprivileged children in Kent, and the group sang Christmas carols at the Children ' s Hospital in Akron with Sigma Phi Epsilon. The first-place Songfest trophy in 1957 and the third- place Homecoming trophy were awarded to Alpha Xi Delta. Ohio Lambda Queen and finalists for Military Ball, Chestnut Burr and Varsity K Queens are honors which some Alpha Xi members have recently held. Alpha Xi Delta participates in many campus activities and functions. Kent State University ' s head cheerleader and the president of Pan-Hellenic Council are among the girls who belong to Alpha Xi Delta. To help each member maintain a high scholastic aver- age, Alpha Xi has set up a scholarship program that will fit the needs of the individual. SETTING THE table, l.-r., Marilyn Roeper, Betty Miley and Nancy Baese indicated that mealtime was nearing. This is just one of the many tasks that the Alpha Xis pitch in and do together in fulfilling the bond of sisterhood. 154 Campus Leaders Wear Alpha Xi Pins B. J. Redinger, Pres. E. R.

Lambda Delta chapter was established at Kent in June, 1947. The civic-minded members of the sorority sponsor an all-University tea for students and faculty members of Kent, make periodic visits to the Portage County Home and give food and clothing to imderprix ilcged families in the comminiity at C hristmas. One of Chi Omega ' s purposes, the belief in the educa- tion of women, is reflected by the presentation annually of a National Achievement Award and a local award for the oiUstanding senior woman in the field of sociology. The Chi O ' s emphasize scholarship. The founders of Chi Omega belie e that the isorth of the group and the realization of its purposes is dependent upon the ability and resourcefulness of the individual member in her pledge and active life. The extent to which a girl develops her individual potential is im- portant to all the members within the group. The X and Horseshoe women participate in all campus-wide events. They won second place in Home- coming house decoration. The Chi O ' s have had their share of queens this year with Homecoming Queen, Var- sity K Queen and Ro vboat Regatta attendant.

AF DG ' s Help Blind Personal gl■o v ' th and development of leadership abili- ty are two important goals of Delta Gamma. The chap- ter believes that the individual members can benefit from personal activity in civic service. The national philanthropy project of the DCs is aid to the blind and sight conservation. The chapter at Kent has helped two blind students succeed in their col- lege work by reading assignments to them daily. They also send contributions to a school for the blind in Cali- fornia and help locally by btiying equipment for the blind. In their pledge program, the women are encouraged to participate in campus activities, and the chapter re- ceives suggestions from the Standards Board. Pledges are invited to spend weekends at the chapter house in order to strengthen the bonds of unity. Socially, the Delta Gammas participate in all KSU activities, and this year the sorority excelled at Campus Day, winning first place in float decorations. Another first-place was won at Rowboat Regatta. The chapter celebrates Washington ' s birthday at a breakfast with brother fraternity Delta Tau Delta. Delta Gamma was founded at Lewis School in Ox- ford, Miss, in 1873. The Gamma Epsilon chap ' ter was established at KSU in 1947.

Testing of children ' s hearing in the local schools is an annual project in line with their national philanthrophy-aid to the deaf. Under this program, the sorority buys hearing aids for needy children. The chapter also shows its spirit of service by holding parties for the local handicapped children. Featured at the parties and other social functions is the DZ quartet. The women entertain frequently at campus activities, fraternity parties, Rowboat Regatta, the Student Council banquet and the Junior Chamber of Commerce banquet in Kent. Founded in 1902 at Miami University, the Gamma Kappa chapter was installed on Kent ' s campus in 1948. The Delta Zetas strive to improve the qualities of charac- ter, leadership and the scholarship of its members by a program organized by the Standards and Charm com- mittee. Various coeds who are considered outstanding in any of the qualities advise the committee chairmen to aid in the development of their programs. Miss Kent State and the Greek Week Co-Queen, as well as the president of Laurels are DZ members.

The chapter has succeeded in placing first in Penny Carnival for five years with their Hawaiian grass skirts and the sale of leis. In addition to these events, the Gamma Phis participate in all campus functions. They have given special attention to intramural sports which is evidenced by their reception of the All-Sports Trophy this year. The women of the crescent moon have been on Kent ' s campus since 1947. Their founding was at Syracuse University in 1874. The local chapter has a close con- nection with its national office. Help is given by na- tional in training of new officers, pledge program and finding new techniques and procedures for rushing. Gamma Phi Beta pays particular attention to ac- cpiainting their new pledges with the purposes and poli- cies of the organization. Philanthropically, the group holds a Christmas party for the underpriveledged children of Kent, and during the fall they entertained the Divers ' Club. The group features speakers at its meetings, ivho help the girls in personality development. MARY ELLEN ROME was engrossed in a letter that appeared to the next day ' s assignments.

Founded upon these high ideals at the Virginia Mili- tary Institute on Sept. 11, 1865, the fraternity established its Ohio Zeta Zeta chapter at Kent State on Feb. 28, 1953. Alpha Phi Beta was the local which received the national charter. The fraternity seeks in a variety of ays to develop the personality, character, leadership abilities and schol- arsliip of its individual members. Highlight of a crowded social calendar is the frater- nity ' s A ' hite Rose Ball, an annual winter formal dance. A queen, selected from the sorority pledge classes, reigns over the evening ' s festivities. Aiuiually since 1933, the fraternity has given the , TO Manhood Award to a senior man acknowledged to be the outstanding University graduate in the fields of character, scholarship and leadership. The chapter concluded a successful year last spring as its members topped the other organizations in Ro v- boat Regatta. Added to the fraternity ' s trophy case were first-place awards from the rowing contest, the first soap- box cUil) and the tug-of- var.

Colgate; Newest Fraternity Operating luuIlt a system which stresses the role of the individual in group living, the CoUegiates are making rapid strides toward their long-range goal of becoming a chapter of a national fraternity. The group was founded at Kent late in the fall quar- ter of 1954 and was incorporated under the laws of Ohio on October 7, 1955. Membership on Inter-Fraternity Coinicil was granted to the group in January, 1958. Participating in University competitions last year as an independent organization, the CoUegiates acquired SIX fust-place trophies. Included was one for the Colle- giate quartet ' s third consecutive victory in the all-Uni- ersity quartet singing contest. Other events in which the group finished on top included Homecoming house deco- rations, Campus Day Songfest and float construction, football and all-University bowling. Although the CoUegiates have many parties on weekends, the members regard the annual spring formal as the outstanding event on their social calendar. In addition to scheduling events for their own group, the members support University activities. A novel method of promoting an alert membership is cjne of the organization ' s unusual features. At each meet- ing the CoUegiates give recognition to the member who makes the outstanding contribution to the group. IT LOOKS AS if there were a serious conversation among, 1,-r., Chuck Cline, Mark Mageotte and Chuck Peterson. Wonder if it was an international discussion or an exchange of ideas on what should be done for a campus competitive event. 166 Collegiates Are Only Local At KSU G. P. Dardzinski, Pres. J. W.

Delta Sigma Pi Delta Sigma Pi and the advancement o£ business ad- ministration on the Kent campus are synonomous. Be- cause it has prolessional as well as social aspects, the fraternity is in a position to do an unusually adequate job of making its members qualified to accept positions in the world of business. Preceded by Delta Kappa Psi local fraternity, the Beta Pi chapter of Delta Sigma Pi was installed at Kent on May Ki, 1942. The national organization traces its beginnings to New York University ' s School of Com- merce, Accounts and Finance where it was founded Nov. 7, 1907. Each quarter tiie fraternity schedules field trips to various mercantile and industrial firms. Representatives of business organizations lecture at its professional meet- ings, keeping the members abreast of current problems and challenges of business. A gold scholarship key provided by Delta Sigma Pi is awarded by the University each year to the graduating man majoring in commerce and business administration with the highest scholastic average. As part of their campus service program, the Delta Sigs co-sponsor the Student Book Exchange with Student Council. The venture has proven successful and has resulted in considerable savings to students. DELTA SIGMA PI members moved into a new house on University Drive at the beginning of fall quarter. The fraternity is open only to students and faculty members of professional schools of com- merce and business administration. 168 Emphasizes Business, Social Activities R. A. Ahrens, Pres. J. D.

Delta Tau Delta has received national acclaim for its ef- forts in striving successfully for this goal. Foimded at Bethany College in 1859, the fraternity came to the Kent campus in February, 1950, when it established its Delta Omega chapter. Accepting the na- tional charter were members of Gamma Tau Delta which had been a local fraternity for 26 years. The Kent chapter upholds the precept that it is under an obligation to aid its members in developing them- selves in leadership, personality and character through association with others. Scholarship is encouraged by presenting a trophy at the spring formal to the member who has improved most academically dining the past year. Outstanding service to the fraternity is also honored with the presentation of a trophy to one of the chapter members. To serve the community, the chapter annually spon- sors an Easter Egg hunt in Fred Fidler Park for the children of Kent. Big days on the Delt calendar include Homecoming, Campus Day and Founder ' s Day. The chapter won two second-place trophies at the 1957 Campus Day in Song- fest and float competition. The Delts placed first for their Homecoming decorations. GEORGE NEWKOME and Lee Smucker studied in an atmosphere of winners as they cracked the books at the Delt house. Scholar- ship is one of the fraternity ' s goals, and a trophy is awarded to the brother who improves the most scholastically each year. 170 Delts Develop Leadership, Personality R. E.

DU, I Love You Founded originally as an anti-secret fraternity in op- position to secret groups, Delta Upsilon later changed its policy to one of non-secrecy and today is the only non-secret fraternity in existence. It is one of the five oldest college fraternities in the United States, tracing its beginnings to a society founded at Williams College, Williamstown, Mass., in 1834. The first national fraternity to establish a chapter at Kent, Delta Upsilon gave a charter to Kappa Mu Kappa, the University ' s oldest local fraternity, in 1948. Under the principle of Justice Our Foundation, the chapter members work together toward a common goal —that of becoming better campus citizens and better members of society. Highly regar ded by the national fraternity, the Kent State chapter last year finished third in competition for the outstanding chapter award. A Delta U in everything, and every Delta U in some- thing is the fraternity ' s motto. Chapter members are encouraged to participate in campus activities. This year, for the third time, the chapter sponsored an exchange student from The Netherlands in his studies at the University. The chapter trophy case, to which seven first-place awards were added last year, is evidence of the members ' teamwork and cooperation. THE MEMBERS of Delta Upsilon wholeheartedly supported the Golden Flashes basketball team at the Kent-Youngstown contest. Chartering a bus, the fraternity travelled to Youngstown to witness the game which ended In defeat for KSU. 172 W. C. Isenberg, Pres. P. J. Timms, Vice Pres. C. A. Orben, Rec. Sec. J.

Kappa Sigs Active To increase and enjoy the intercourse ot congenial spirits among the brothers is the purpose of the Kappa Sigma fraternity. With that aim constantly in mind, the fraternity maintains a healthy and active participation in fraternal life by both the active imdergraduates and the alumni. In the scarlet, white and green fraternity, brotherhood does not end after graduation. Kappa Sigma was foimded in 1869 at the University of Virginia. The local chapter was founded in 1951 when Kappa Sigma Chi received a charter. The men of the Epsilon Rho chapter at Kent have devoted a large amount of their time to campus clubs and activities. The vice president of Inter Fraternity Council, the president of United Christian Fellowship, members of Newman Club and Chestnut Bmr staff are all brothers of Kappa Sigma. Utilizing some of their time on the less serious side of college life, the Kappa Sigs sponsor a wide range of social activities. Among the highlights of the year are the winter and spring formals, the Sweetheart Formal, the annual all-University Frosh Hop, a Kappa Sigma Nu football game and dance, date parties and active partici- pation in University intrammal athletics. SENDING A welcoming light out to all those men who wear the scarlet, green and white is the Kappo Sigma house at 309 Univer- sity Drive.

Phi Delta Theta Believing that traternity life is one of tfie important factors in a complete college education, Phi Delta Theta stands ready to share with those who wish to partake of them the same pleasures and achievements it has given U) :ill of its members in the past. Founded in 1848 at Miami University in Oxford, Phi Delta Theta is the only fraternity of the famed Miami Triad with a chapter on the Kent campus. Phi Gamma Theta was the local which received a charter in 1954. We enjoy life by the help and society of others is I he fraternity ' s motto. In serving the community in which they live, Phi Delt members take children from the lJiii ' ersity School ' s classes for the deaf on an all-day oiuing. On Phi Delt Community Service Day the entire gioup landscaped the grounds of a nearby handicapped children ' s school. One of the most popular Phi-Delt-sponsored events— at least in the opinion of many coeds— is the annual She- Delt Week each spring. During this week the women who date chapter members appear on campus with pledge caps and go through a mock pledge period com- plete with pledging ceremony. The chapter also sponsors the Little All-Greek dance for the pledges of campus fraternities and sororities, and the tug-of-war at Rowboat Regatta.

Phi Kappa Tau Although a third ot a century has passed since the fra- ternity ' s founcHng, Phi Kappa Tau still clings to its ideals, emphasizing the innate worth of each member and striving for a democratic organization. Conceived by a group of four men, Phi Kappa Tau was founded at Miami University on March 17, 1906. The Beta Mii chapter was established at Kent in 1949. With its social activities oriented to bring out the best in each member ' s personality, character and leader- ship abilities, the fraternity diligently lives up to its motto: Phi Kappa Tau is a creator of men. The chap- ter annually awards a trophy to the member attaining the highest scholastic average for the year. Although suj porting no specific local charity, the Phi Taus actively support community drives. The chapter ' s most anticipated social events are its annual Founder ' s Day banquet and its Sweetheart Dance. A coed is selected as the chapter ' s sweetheart. The Phi Taus are noted for their scholarship efforts. Last year the chapter ' s scholarship average rated second among campus fraternities and third among all Phi Kappa Tau chapters in the country. Brotherhood with other chapters is promoted through its annual Clhapter Migration Day during football season.

Phi Sigma Kappa Phi Sigma Kappa is a fraternity adhering to three cardinal principles— brotherhood, scholarship and char- acter. Phi Sig life is constructed around these three tenets. 71ie brothers of the fraternity develop character to become more useful citizens and be respected by their friends and associates. Scholarship is stimulated by Phi Sigma Kappa through an appreciation of the value of learning and de- velopment of habits of intellectual groM ' th. Scholarship is further kindled through the element of competition with other fraternities at Kent and with the 62 chapters throughout the United States. The national fraternity was founded at the Massa- chusetts Agricidtinal College in 1873. The local chapter was established in 1950. To satisfy their social life, the Phi Sigs hold a Snow- ball dance during winter quarter and a formal every spring quarter. There are also several social events with the Akron Phi Sig Chapter. Intramural athletics also hold an interest for the group. Each year the brothers participate actively in charity work, including a cerebral palsy fimd drive. Social func- tions with the Phi Sig chapter of Akron University are frequently held. CLOWNING AROUND the piano at the Phi Sig house were, l.-r., brothers Paul Thonen, Chuck Lotze, Bill Wucinich, Vaughn Esch and Tom Westring. Developing brotherhood, scholarship ond character are the principles underlying the fraternity. 180 Phi Sigs Stress Social Life, Studies R. 0. Upole, Pres. M. J. Walker, Vice Pres. J. T.

Main St. m SAE Has Variety In the belief that variety of talent and ability enriches the indivitkial personality of each member, Sigma Alpha Epsilon follows the policy of maintaining a well-rounded chapter inembership. The fraternity was born on the campus of the Uni- versity of Alabama in 1856. Sigma Delta local fraternity, founded by Canton extension students in 1950, was in- stalled as the fraternity ' s Ohio Lambda chapter in De- cember, 1954. The largest national college fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon has pioneered a number of firsts in the fraternity field. It was the first to establish a national headquarters, and the first to promote the employment of a fulltime housemother. An SAE chapter in Minnesota was the first to push for Greek Week. One of the highlights of the social schedule is the Ohio Lambda Ball, which the chapter co-sponsors with two other campus fraternities. Another is the Sweetheart Formal held during spring quarter. Members of the fraternity can be found in virtually every field of campus endeavor. The presidency of Stu- dent Council has been held by chapter members for the past two years. The SAE-sponsored gladiator games at Rowboat Re- gatta have become a popular annual event. TYING FOR THIRD place with Phi Sigma Kappa in the fraternity division of Homecoming competition was the SAE ' s Golden Flashes Special. Snow covered the decoration, but it did not halt the rivalry of the Greek and independent groups. 182 D. L. Hunter, Pres. C. R. Parilla, Vice Pres. R. E. Parilla, Sec. R. B. Murphy, Treas. T. D.

IN Sigma Nu Moves To believe in the life of love, to walk in the way of honor and to serve in the light of truth was the pur- pose of the men who founded Sigina Nu. The fraternity was organized at the Virginia Military Institute in Lex- ington, Va. in March, 1869. The hope of the founders was to establish through the warm friendships of a group of college men, the foundation of honor, ideals of intellectual achievement, character and social development so the members would be better men and citizens. The brothers co-sponsor a Christmas party for under- privileged Kent children and a Kappa Sigma Nu dance and football game. In addition to the annual White Rose formal, the active chapter is honored by the pledges at a Scummers ' Hop. In other activities, Sigma Nu competes in Rowboat Regatta, intramural sports, the annual soapbox derby and the Greek Week chariot race. Many of the brothers are varsity athletes. Although athletics are important to the fraternity, scholarship is emphasized. The Kent chapter has won the scholarship trophy in their district of the national frater- nity for the past two years. At the beginning of winter quarter, the chapter moved into a new house on South Water Street. NEW HOME for Sigma Nu fraternity is at 1537 S. Water St. Although not within walking distance of the campus, the new Snake house is roomy and provides ample space for parking the brothers ' cars. 184 Interests Focus On Sports, Scholarship J. T.

Sigma Phi Epsilon Dedicalcd to ihc tonsiaiii aim and objective to be a Irateinal organi .alioii built on a solid foundation and directed to the weltare ol the membership and high ideals, the brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilon are found in nearly every pliase of campus life at Kent. Sigma Plii Epsilon recognizes scholarship as one of the most important aspects of college life. The chapter ' s social program is a diversified one. It includes numerous liouse paities, a Queen of Hearts Ball in tlie spring, the Ohio Lambda Ball and an an- nual fox hunt which serves as a picnic in the spring. Other annual events are a Clrristmas party for orphans of the area, a siminier camp for boys and a Roaring 20 ' s Party during fall quarter. The chapter house at Kent is a landmark of the city. The house, with its traditional red door, is one of the oldest and largest in Kent. It was used as part of tlie Undergroimd Railroad during the Civil War. Sigma Phi Epsilon was founded nationally in 1901 at Richmond College in Virginia. Since its founding, the group, with 148 chapters, has become the second largest national fraternity. The local chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon originated in 1949 as Chi Alpha fraternity. On April 25, 1953, the local affiliated with the national organization.

Originated April 10, 1856, at Norwich University in Norwich, Vt., the fraternity established its Delta Tau chapter on the Kent campus on May 10, 1953. Theta Chi members feel that the true value of any activity in which they participate lies not always in its end result, but in the preparation for that end. In as- sisting each other in the building of a manly character, the members feel that they are contributing something to the general welfare of the University. The fraternity plans a full social calendar for each cjuarter. Although winter and spring formals are the highlights, the calendar also includes a myriad of date parties and social functions with other campus groups. Chapter members annually lend their support on the Greek. Week civic project and the Christmas Seal and TB drives. They boosted their own stock as well as that of the University last year by sponsoring a corral for some 300 Theta Chis from chapters in this part of the country. Recent additions to the Theta Chi trophy case in- clude one for second place in last year ' s Pork Barrel and another for second place in Rowboat Regatta. The chap- ter ranked fointh in scholarship in 1957. SETTING ASIDE the books for a tew minutes of listening to some hi-fi music at the Theta Chi house were, l.-r., brothers Ed O ' Day, Don Macl .ey, Roger Gertz and Dave Jecman.

Theta Kappa Phi The ambition of Theta Kappa Phi is the successful fulfillment of its three-fold purpose— promoting brother- hood and development among its members, enhancing each member ' s spiritual life and supporting Newman Club as an organization for all Catholic students. Its history as a national fraternity began March 22, 1922, when Theta Kappa Phi local fraternity at LeHigh University imited with Kappa Theta of Penn State Col- lege to form the first two chapters of Theta Kappa Phi. The Catholic men who formed the Friars Club at Kent in 19-18 saw their dreams become reality in December, 1949, when they became the Phi chapter. The fraternity ' s close relationship with Newman Club has proven an advantage to both organizations. One of tire chapter ' s traditions is the co-sponsorship of the Pil- grim ' s Prom by the two organizations. Recognition of beauty provides the basis for two of the chapter ' s social events. One is the yearly selection of a coed as Sweater Queen of the Sweater Hop and an- other is the annual Gold Cup formal when each girl present receives a symbol of her regal qualities. Represented and recognized in almost all campus activities, Theta Kappa Phi is particularly noted for its unusually complete chapter library. The Theta Kaps have won the Manchester Cup several times. EMERY KOPSCO, Ralph Marks and Pete Previte looked at one of trophy case. The fraternity has often won the Manchester Cup the trophies which holds a place of honor in the Theta Kap ' s for the outstanding chapter library. 190 1 Theta Kaps Help Boost Newman Club J. N.

The fraternity ' s motto is In fraternalism there is friendship. By offering the members an environment of brotherly love, cooperation, helpfulness, imderstand- ing and by encouraging vigorous participation in Uni- versity and general activities, the fraternity fulfills its dedication adequately. With the lion as its national symbol, the fraternity was founded at New York University on Nov. 7, 1913. It is the first national social fraternity to trace its beginning to the Washington Square campus. Nationally, Alpha Epsilon Pi has 66 chapters and six colonies spread throughout the United States and Can- ada. Establishment of the Phi Deuteron chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi in 1949 brought the Kent campus its third national fraternity. The chapter was formerly the Alpha Epsilon local fraternity. Many of the brothers participate in Hillel, Inter-Fra- ternity Council, Kent Stater, the s tudent government and the service organizations. Its activities include an annual spring formal, a Win- ter W eekend following Top Hop, a Gay Paree party and a Wild W est party.

First of all, servants of all, we shall transcend all is the motto of the Kent State chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha, the sixteenth antl yoinigest national IraUrniiy on campus. The purpose of the fraternity is to provide each member with personality, character and scholarship de- velopment through the mutual helpfulness of the mem- bers. The fraternity also attempts to cultivate the leader- ship abilities of the members by guiding them into posi- tions on campus where the exercise of those qualities will be extremely important. Although the chapter is a newcomer lo the lanipiis, it has sponsored many activities and projects tliat were begun under its forerunner, the Sphinx Club. During the week before the 1957 Homecoming dance, the chapter held a contest called Name the Band Leader. The winner was given a ticket to the dance and a record albimi of Duke Ellington, an Alpha Phi .Alpha brother. At the Homecoming dance, the chapter presented Duke with a momento to commemorate his visit. fn the University ' s activities and organi a lions, the fraternity is represented in many groups. Alpha Phi Alpha was fotmded at Cornell University in 1906. The Kent chapter received its charter in Jan- uary from the national organization. J. O. Butler, Pres. C. L. McNair, Vice Pres. O. W.

A house on the University ' s proposed fraternity row, facilitating social and intellectual functions and correct guidance for youth and scholarship are some of the many objectives of Kappa Alpha Psi. The national fraternity was founded at Indiana Uni- versity in 1910. The move towards establishment of a Kent chapter began with the formation of the local Scrol- lers Club. The group ' s switch to local fraternity status in 1953 was followed by Inter-Fraternity Coimcil recogni- tion. In Deceinber, 1955, the organization was chartered as a chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi. The fraternity ' s members are noted for taking an active part in campus affairs. Several members of the varsity football team are included in its ranks. Kappas also serve as representatives on Student Council. Men ' s Student Association, Inter-Fraternity Council and many other groups. Highlighting the fraternity ' s yearly agenda is the annual Guide Right program designed to give young people a view into the future. Activities during the year include a Halloween party to welcome newcomers to the campus in the fall. ' S,m ip ' i RON FOWLER discussed a motion on the floor at the weekly meeting. B. Armour, Pres. E.

Instead, cooper- ation is important in order to ha e a winner. Ciorridor parties, individual bull-sessions, sock hops, formals, exchange dinners, pajama parties and working on Campus Day and Homecoming attivities are txpical dormitory functions. Life in a dormitory is an experience that may add greatly to the learning process of the students. MISS GLEASON checked rooms as Aliki Collins, Coro- Icc Maglosky, Jeon and Cecile Crittenden watched. Shaped Like An X Terrace Hall, KSU ' s largest women ' s dormitory, is situated at the top of a hill overlooking Terrace Drive. This enormous X shaped structure is contemporary in design. When Terrace opened in 1954, it operated as two separate dormitories. North and South Terrace. In the fall of 1956, it was united under Jacqueline Olsen. Seven hundred and twenty girls live in Terrace. Most of the rooms are for three, but a few singles are provided. There are also guest rooms and suites of rooms for the resident coiniselors. Miss Olsen, Miss Afargaret Graff, Miss Eleanor Royola and the assistant residence coun- selor. Miss Virginia Gleason. Miss Royola and Miss Gleason are new members of this year ' s staff. Miss Royola is from Manila in the Phillipines, and Miss Gleason is a graduate of KSU. Women students may entertain their dates in the main lounge which is painted a deep shade of green. Brown accessories and furnitine complete these modern smroundings which are highlighted by two fireplaces, ])roducing a cozy atinosphere for entertaining dates, parents and friends. Two recreational rooms are available for the use of Terrace residents and their friends.

Trophy Winners The south wing of the dormitory contains the facili- ties lor two cHning halls, a bakery and the lood ware- hotise. Engleman coeds dine at Terrace each day and Verderites eat in the cafeterias on weekends. Social events for dormitory residents included pajama parties, record dances and the First President ' s Prom, the dorm formal, which was held in February. Seasonal festivities found the women celebrating Halloween, Christmas and St. Valentine ' s Day. The social committee planned also several dress-up dinners which were held during the year. New trophy cases were built to hold the prizes that Terrace women won during the year. They copped the All-Sports Trophy in the spring of 1957. They then were awarded the first-place cup rowing in the Rowboat Re- gatta and the trophy for volleyball champs dining fall quarter. Sports are not the only activities in which coeds ex- cel. In Campus day competition, they won first-place trophies in the float division with The Little King, and in Songfest with The Halls Of Ivy. For the Homecoming competition, the women of Terrace built their house decoration around the theme of Block That Flock. WATCHING TV in the rec room were, l.-r., Jackie Geil, Sally Brownfield, Margie Knieps and Barb Weller. RELAXING IN front of the fireplace in the spacious central lounge of Terrace Hall were, l.-r., Don Piercmici, Kathy Warswich, Carolyn Nerny and Neil Von Drosek.

The 140 girls who live in Lowry Hall proved this by earn- ing many trophies in the independent women ' s division. The first trophy was for their 1957 Pork Barrel skit, Elsie the Glowworm which was a parody on the song Glowworm. Their Homecoming display, I ' m In-salted, was the ligiire of a Falcon with salt being poured on his tail. This display copped a first-place trophy for the women of Lowry. Besides being the smallest dormitory, Lowry is also the oldest. The rooms, primarily doubles, acquire a cozy atmosphere when each girl adds personal touches. Each room is equipped with a washstand. Lowry offers one advantage no other dorm can offer. Since it is the closest dorm to the classrooms, the coeds who live there save time and steps. In the cozy recreation room, the girls and their friends can watch television, play ping pong or just relax. The study room is a former cafeteria, transformed for the convenience of the residents. This room is used for dancing when formals are held. A new feature is the lounge where off-campus women may spend their free time. The loimge, started by A. W. S. this year, is located at the back of the dormitory and has a separate door.

The hall was named for Edwin Moulton, former president of the board of trustees. Moulton Hall houses 174 girls and is situated at the bottom of Hilltop Drive. As with other dormitories, Moulton is self governing with officers and house council elected by the residents. With the help of A.W.S., the coimcil sets up rules and regidations. The decoration of the rooms in Moulton Hall is left to the ingenuity of the individual girls. They add the little touches of color, from bedspreads to bidletin boards, which make the rooms their own. Stuffed an- imals always seem to add finishing touches. The dormitory participates in many social activities such as Pork Barrel, Homecoming, Campus Day, Penny Carnival and May Day Relays. It also has an annual formal for the residents and their dates. Moulton Hall won second prize in the independent women ' s division for Homecoming decoration. The theme was Flashes Band Together. The backboard was inscribed with the Alma Mater, while a string bass sported a moving drumstick and two players completed the act. Lending an international air to the dormitory is Moulton ' s resident counselor, Miss Loretta Visitacion Miguel, who comes from Hawaii.

The dormitory was originally used as an upperclass dormi- tory, but now it hotises girls from all classes who work together to make Engleman a popular housing unit. The majority of the girls live in single rooms, but they can usually be found in the lounge. Throughout the school year, Engleman is represented in campus activities— Homecoming, Campus Day, Pork Barrel, Rowboat Regatta and May Day Relays. They also have date parties and an annual winter formal. In the annual May Day Relays, Engleman residents placed first. Engleman won third place in the Campus Day Song- fest with Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White. Their 1957 Homecoming decoration placed third in the independent women ' s division. Fell the Falcon, their Homecoming theme, illustrated a Bowling Green falcon in a tree. An animated football player, represent- ing the Golden Flashes, was shown chopping a tree. Engleman is the only building connected by a tunnel to the Kent State Union. Another distinctive charac- teristic is a patio leading from the lounge. Miss Ann L. Tschantz is resident counselor this year. Mrs. Ruth Thompson is her assistant. TAKING A STUDY break were, I.-r., Ann Hoffman, Marlene Burkhardt and Vickie Collins.

Named for the first Dean of Women, Verder was ready for its residents in the fall of 1956. For several weeks the coeds lived under inconvenient condi- tions. They were without telephone service, light fix- tures, closet doors and a cafeteria. The spacious and modern cafeteria was not opened until fall quarter. Previously the students had to hike to Terrace Hall for meals. Located on Midway Drive, the dormitory houses ap- proximately 375 women. With the exception of a few singles, each room has three occupants. In fall, a walk and steps were constructed between Engleman Hall and the tennis courts to enable Verder- ites to reach the campus more easily. The women of Verder participate in Pork Barrel, Homecoming, Campus Day, Rowboat Regatta and other University functions. They have an annual Christmas Date Night dance and a winter formal. Verder residents prepare baskets for needy families in the area each Christmas. Verder Hall has three new resident and assistant resi- dent counselors. Mrs. Esther Kern is resident coimselor; Miss Mary Bamberger, assistant resident counselor and Miss Carol Rose, senior assistant counselor.

These activities include an ice breaker for the freshmen, ex- change dinners with Moulton Hall, a barbecue for grad- uating seniors, and spring and winter formals. They also participate in many of the social and ath- letic activities on campus such as Songfest, Homecoming, Campus Day, Pork Banel and intramural sports. The dormitory is located near the Memorial field- house. Stopher was constructed in 1949, and it was the first men ' s dormitory to be built on KSU ' s campus. Its seven corridors have been glamorized with the names of movie stars such as Ava and Betty. The interior of this dormitory has a spacious cafeteria which is en- closed with glass. Above the cafeteria is a terrace where dances are held. Four loimges provide comforts of home to its resi- dents. Stopherites may be found studying, watching television or playing ping pong in these convenient lounges. Stopher residents sponsor an annual Christmas party for underprivileged children. The residents also have other projects. Mr. Jay Beck was Stopher Hall ' s resident counselor this year. MUSIC is o soothing break for many Stopher men such as George Brundage and Ron Taiclet.

With the universal requirement of HPE courses for all except veter- ans and ROTC members, students participate in athletics in many ways. Varsity athletics featining inter-University competition are probably the most prominent. Impressive buildings such as Memorial Stadimn and Memorial Fieldhouse contribute to the ath- letic program. For the students who do not participate active- ly in varsity sports, there is a varied intramural program. For the men, this ranges from football and wrestling through track and Softball. For women, field hockey is conducted by Women ' s Recreation Association on an inter- collegiate level and such sports as volleyball and Softball intramurally. C. E. Erickson was appointed in 1956 as direc- tor of Athletics, Health and Physical Education. 210 COACH BILL BERTKA ' S stall ball brought added interest to Flash basketball. Dole Reichert dribbled away from Western Michigan players as team-mates Bob Thomas, 54, Dale Hyatt, hidden, and Jim Moore watched. 211 A big step towards all-around emphasis of athletics was taken by Kent State University last August when the post oi athletic director was revised to be a full-time job, and Carl Erickson was given the job. Doctor Erickson, former athletic director at Southern Illinois University, is a believer in a well-rounded athletic program. His goal is to raise Kent ' s prestige in the col- lege sports world. A product of Boston University, Doctor Erickson re- ceived his Bachelor of Science degree in education in 1942, his Master ' s in 1947 and a Doctorate in 1953. At BU, he was a three-sport athlete, playing football for four years, baseball for three years in addition to one year of basketball. In 1941, he won honorable mention on the Associated Press All-East Team as a guard. As an outfielder on the baseball team, he compiled a .400 batting average and paced the team in home runs, RBIs and batting. He re- ceived offers from two major league clubs. After serving in the Navy for three years, he was dis- charged a Lieutenant (jg) in 1945. He then became the physical education supervisor of the Dedham, Mass. Jimior High Schools. After being director of physical education in Ports- mouth, N.H. and Arlington, Mass. Public Schools, Doc- tor Erickson was similarly employed at Southern Illinois. He held this position for three years. CARL ERICKSON is the first full-time athletic director in the history of KSU. Guidance Given To Athletic Programs TREVOR REES has served as head football coach at Kent State since 1946. It took a long time but it finally happened. Trevor Rees, head football coach, suffered his first losing season since coming to Kent 1 1 years ago. Altliough the 1957 record ended in a losing effort, Rees ' past record speaks lor itself. When he took the reins of the school ' s football fortunes, Kent had an un- spectacular record of 54 wins, 85 losses, and 22 ties. Since then, his Golden Flashes have compiled a record of 66 victories and only 35 losses. In the Mid-American Conference, Rees ' teams have done equally as well in winning 20 and losing 13 since entering the conference in 1951. The only tributes Rees has missed are a conference championship and an im- beaten season. He has come close to both honors during the past several years. An excellent record at Kent is not Rees ' only claim to fame. He played end for three years on the Ohio State varsity football team from 1933 to 1935. In his senior year, Rees was mentioned on several All-American teams. In 1941, he joined Paul Brown ' s staff at Ohio State to coach the freshman team. Then after a three-year stint in the Navy, Rees returned to Ohio State. He came to Kent in 1946. Credit for Kent ' s spiraling success in college football justly belongs to Trevor Rees. 212 Gridders Finish 1957 Witli 3-6 Slate The 1957 season found the Golden Flashes facing the toughest opposition in KSU history. The season opened against powerful Xavier and ended as the team lost to an underdog Western Michigan squad. It was a season full of hampering injuries and Asian flu. Coach Trevor Rees was unable to field his first eleven any time after the opening game. As a result, Trev had his first dismal season in 12 years at the helm of the Flashes. Without the services of all-league second team end, Ken Redlin, MAC sixth leading ground-gainer Ron Fowler and several other key players, the Reesmen won three of their nine games. Though the record was poor the spirit was good. An average of more than 8,000 fans turned out for all the home games except the finale against Louisville, where polar bear weather prevailed. Team spirit was excellent. Trailing by 27 points with only four minutes remaining, the game Flashes came u]3 with two quick totichdowns to avoid a whitewashing at the hands of the MAC champion Miami Redskins. With all hope for a winning season dissolved, they outpointed previously imdefeated Louisville. Western Michigan toppled the Flashes to end the season. Loser of the game becaine last place holder in the MAC. COACH TREVOR REES concentrated on the field action during Homecoming gome.

Kent upset the Cardinals, 13-7. Flu, Injuries Helped KSU Opponents Five-ten, 164-pound, hard-driving Flash fullback Ron Fowler netted 254 yard.s in 62 carries averaging four yards per carry, placing him sixth in rushing in the tough Mid-American Conference. For the second year in a row he was chosen as the best offensive back by the KSU coaching staff. In 14 carries against Xavier, Ron gained 77 yards for a 5.5 average. Picking up right where he left off, against BW he took the opening kick-off and ran for an 84-yard touchdown. He dashed off 103 yards in 19 tries as Kent won their opening home game, 26-13. Ron piled up 70 yards against Ohio U before he de- veloped a leg injury and was removed late in the third ([uarter as Kent won the game. Hampered by Asian flu and poor recovery from his injury in the OU game, he sa w only limited action until the Louisville game. To climax his final season at KSU, Ron rolled up 68 yards as Kent downed the heavily favored Cardinals, 13-7. The 1958 season marked Ron ' s final football games for the Flashes. Two Flashes, senior Ken Redlin and sophomore Jerry King, were picked for the All-MAC team. The KSU freshmen played two games, losing to Bowl- ing Green 7-0 and Pittsburgh 44-0. The scores don ' t do justice to the squad, one of the better freshman teams to come out of KSU in the past several years. Pitt was rated as one of the best yearling teams in the nation and BG scored on a lucky break. The Flashlings x■le in scoring position t vice, but bad breaks shut them out.

The fourth quarter proved lo be the downfall as the Musketeers pushed across two touchdowns on a pass and fumble to win. Kent bounced back to take the home opener 26-13 as the hapless Yellow Jackets of BW took their second straight loss, l on Fowler took the opening kick-off and ran 84 yards for a TD.

TREVOR REES gleefully watched as our Golden Flashes scored against the Falcons of Bowling Green. 219 WARM-UP JACKETS were left lying on the ground following KSU ' S football finale at Western Michigan. The game brought to close the poorest season of any Golden Flash team in 1 I years under the direction of Head Coach Trevor Rees. A Look Ahead Reveals Bright Future TREV REES, with hopes of something better to come, gazed into the future, thinking of next year. Wrapping up the 1957 football season, Mario Pisan- elli and Bob Button were elected as co-captains for 1958. Mario held down the regular left tackle spot this year while Bob understudied Rudy Libertini, 1957 captain, at the center. Returning next season to bolster Flashes ' hopes for a reversal of this year ' s record will be Jerry King, Ted Zindren and Alvia Jackson. Jerry led the 1957 team in total number of tackles, and Ted was voted outstanding sophomore, . lvia Jackson, the little halfback, was the big gun in the LouLsville game, scoring 12 of the 13 points compiled by the Flashes that afternoon. At quarterback, Kent will find itself without a Burke calling signals for the first time since 1952 when Brian graduates. His brother, Don, was also a Flash gridder. The coaching staff has hopes that Dennv Galehouse, the number-one signal caller of the freshman team this sea- son, will be able to step into these wide open shoes. Another position that will need a replacement is right end, vacated by Ken Redlin, the last of the four year varsity football letter winners. Also playing his last season this year was Ron jo Jo Fowler who was the MAC ' S leading groimd gainer imtil his injury vhich slowed him down the rest of the season. Over all, the Flashes are losing 12 men via the gradu- ation route, but with new strength from the freshman team we see a bright season for KSU next fall. Kent Uses ' Freeze ' Although the Flash team failed to post a winning record, new Coach Bill Bertka produced one of the most exciting teams in recent years. Bertka, employing ball-control tactics, led the Flashes to a record of 9 wins and 14 losses, almost doubling last year ' s total of 5 victories. The first hint of what to expect from Bertka-ball came during the Christmas vacation when Kent put on the deep freeze to defeat highly-rated Toledo, 25-17. As a result of the Toledo stall, the Flashes received national attention from radio and newspapers. On January 15, Kent fans got their first chance to see the stall in action as the Flashes upset Akron University, 65-55. Nearly 5,000 watched as the KSU team ran their home-floor winning streak to six games. The game against Akron marked the 51st renewal of the Flashes longest basketball rivalry. The following week, Kent combined control ball and an amazing shooting percentage to pull another upset. This time the MAC victim was strong Bowling Green by a 60-51 score. As the season continued, the effects of the rugged schedule began to tell, and the Flashes lost eight of their last ten games. The season ended with the most exciting game of the season as the Flashes matched MAC champion, Miami, basket for basket before losing 50-48. REAL STALL BALL! KSU ' s style of basketball was not al- ways this radicol but control was emphasized. COME ON OUT and get It! The fomed KSU freeze went into effect against Miami when Gene Michael and Bobby Thomas threw the ball back and forth outside the Miami defense. The stall nearly worked but the Flashes were beaten in the last second. 221 CAN HE GO any higher? Bill Raybuck appeored to be reaching for the roof in the Akron U game. KENT ' S BOB THOMAS jumped high for a shot as Marsholl ' s Leo Byrd watched. See New Faces In a season that saw the Flashes establish a KSU first with a trip in December to California, many ne v faces were evident in the line-up. The most prominent of these was Gene Michael, sophomore guard who led the Flashes in scoring in his first season of varsity play. He also ranked high in the MAC in field goal percentage. Three transfers from Hancock Jiuiior College in Cali- fornia, where Bertka coached before coming to Kent, proved to be valuable assets to the team. Dale Hyatt led the team in rebounds, Bob Thomas ' ball-stealing antics in the back comt led to many extra shots, and Bob Showalter added needed depth. Dale Reichert and Jack Moore, both sophomores, were valuable for spot dut ' . Jim Gorsline, last year ' s leading scorer. as held down by the new control tactics but still scored enough points to move into fourth place among the all-time Flash high scorers.

COACH BILL BERTKA handed Larry Edmunds his uniform as the star returned after six months in the army. 223 A SHOT FLOATED through the air as the Akron U team watched. Revives Interest It was evident Irom the start that Kent State basket- ball followers could expect an exciting season. The sea- son began with a combination basketball clinic and game between the varsity and freshmen. The entire season was to witness large crowds at the games and a revival of interest in KSU basketball. Stu- dents added some of the most vocal support heard in years at the Memorial Fieldhouse. Much of the revived interest centered on the new coach, Bill Bertka. Bertka was actually no newcomer to the Kent State campus, for he was graduated from the University in 1951. He coached at Hancock Junior College for three years and compiled a fantastic 84-13 record including a 41 -game winning streak. By accomplishihg this feat, Bertka ' s team made a national junior college record. Bertka returned to his alma mater to coach because the school has the facilities and location to attract top- flight talent for building an excellent team. Also, the attraction of coaching at a four-year school proved to be an impetus. Although his first year was spent in adjusting to the University, he still managed to raise the won-loss record beyond preseason expectations. JIM GORSLINE (4), Ron Birt (13), and Bob Showalter (12) kept their eyes on the ball during the exciting game with Miami. Wayne Embry lost the top scoring title in the MAC when held to six points. 224 BASKETBALL TEAM, l.r., row 1 ; Coach Bill Bertko, Dennis Bayer, Bill Raybuck, Dale Bohonnon, Gene Michael, Jim Gorsline, Em Larry Edmunds, Dale Hyatt, Ron Birt, Capt.; Bob Showalter, Jack Ferrara, Dale Reichert, Otto Davis, Trainer; Louis Mott.

Frosh End 11 -Game Season Undefeated FROSH CHARLIE BOYKIN (19) and Bill Spencer (14) dem- onstrated ball-handling ability in the B-W game. Much of the credit lor reviving basketball interest at KSU must go to Coach Rick Forzano ' s freshman team. Led by a former all-state high school star, Charlie Boy- kin of Kent Roosevelt, the Kent State frosh finished their 1 1 -game season undefeated. Playing basketball as if they had originated it, the young Flashes broke most freshman scoring records and set new ones that are likely to stand for some time. Boy- kin broke the individual scoring mark by 13 points in scoring a total of 267 points; teamwise, a new season high in total points, 903 and the highest per game average of any Frosh team in history, 82 per game. What was even more outstanding about the jimior Flashes ' record was that it was made against some of the opponents ' best teams in years. Pittsburgh ' s team had been unbeaten in nine games and was considered one of their finest first-year crews; after trailing by one point at half-time, the Flashes trampled Pitt, 67-55. Bliss College had trounced each of the M, C freshmen teams and had defeated Ohio State and Indiana by sizeable scores, biu Kent beat them, 86-64. Coupled with Boykin, the Flasjies had one of the best play-makers in Kent history in Jim Maddox from Charleston, V. Va. Oliver ' Wallace of Middletown was the team ' s second highest scorer. 228 Counts One Loss As Losing Season Don ' t ever ask Wrestling Coach Joe Begala il he ' s ever had a losing season! To KSU ' s Mr. Wrestling, one loss is enough to make a season a losing one. Maybe that is the reason Coach Begala ' s teams seldom lose. The 1957-58 season was no different. Extending their two-year winning streak to 18 straight, the Flash grapplers proved to be the best of the Conference and one of the nation ' s finest wrestling teams. The highlight of the season came on March 8 when the Flash wrestlers won their first MAC championship. The season was also memorable because KSU won their 20()th wrestling victory imder Begala ' s coaching. Contributing to the outstanding record were five men with unblemished records: Clarence McNair, Ken Koenig, Les Nader, Frank Fiore and Pat Semary. Ray Halliwill was imbeaten in MAC competition and suf- fered only one loss, that in the West Virginia match. The season started off successfidly when, in the first three matches, the Flashes shut out Western Reser e, Case and Marshall. In the Ohio LI match, the tea m gained revenge by soundly trouncing the defending M, C champions of last year, 31-2. FRANK FIORE looked as if he wos resting, but a few minutes later he pinned his opponent. TEAM, l.-r., row 1: Clarence McNaIr, Alan Kliskey, Pat Semary, Ken Koenig, Frank Fiore.

Against Baldwin Vallace, the Flashes were scored upon for the first time in the season and trailed 12-8 with only three matches to go. But the mop-up crew of Ken Koenig, Frank Fiore and Les Nader pidled the victory out of the fire. West Virginia put up a fight at Morgantown before succiuubing to the flashes. The Moimtaineers took a 6-0 lead when the Kent duo of Ray Halliwill and Attilio Russo were decisioned. Once again, however, the mop- up trio took charge and wrapped up another victory. In the MAC championship matches at Bowling Green, Begala ' s boys finally whipped their jinx and won their first MAC title. Finishing Avilh a total of 73 points, the Flashes finished 22 points in front of their nearest competitor, Miami.

Coach Joe Begala demonstrated o hold on one of his men during a practice session on the mats. His demonstrations apparently worl ed well with the Flashes as they wrapped up the conference crown. 232 Guides Wrestlers It took a lot of sweat and work on the part of Joe Begala and his grapplers, but the resuhs have been worth the trouble. During his 29 years at Kent, Begala has turned out some great squads. Nine of his teams won intrastate titles, 13 won Lake Erie . AU championships and three were state collegiate champions. He has coached an amazing total of 167 indi idual champs. Five of Kent ' s squads under Begala were undefeated, and nine others suffered only one loss in their campaigns. This outstanding record has been compiled against some of the nation ' s top sports-minded universities including Afichigan State, Pitt, Piudue, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Penn State and West Virginia. The 29-year record of Begala stands at a fantastic 203 wins and 34 losses giving Kent State a reputation as one of the top wrestling colleges in the nation and one of the few to win more than 200 matches in the competition among colleges. Recognition of his achievements was granted to the 51 -year-old coach during the half-time ceremonies of the KSU-Miami basketball game. He was given a plaque which was signed by President George A. Bowman and the Kent State coaching staff. COACH JOE BEGALA has made KSU one of the top wrestling colleges in the nation. COACH MATT RESiCK has had five winning seasons during his eight years at KSU. Baseball Coach hat does it take to be a successful coach? Most agree that it takes a man of knowledge and ability to think hist antl make quick decisions. Matt Resick, beginning his ninth campaign as KSU s baseball coath, is a man with these qualifications. Taking over baseball duties in 1949, Resick has had only three losing seasons, and five games separate those three from being winning seasons. Resick was graduated from .Ashlaiul (College in 1911, recened his Master of Arts degree at Ohio State in 1947 and his Doctorate from Ohio State in 1952. At Ashland, he vas a seven-letter man in sjjorts winning three in football, three in baseball aiul one in cross country track. Resick competetl twice in the National Collegiate Cross C ountry Meet. He was third in his class, president of the senior class and business manager on publications. His first appearance at Kent State came, oddly enough, as a member of the Ashland baseball team. Res- ick played against Kent in a game in 1941 when the baseball diamond was located behind the heating plant and most of the campus was woods. Kent State has come a long way since that spring of 1941 and so has Matt Resick. 233 . - ' ii jaaai uaikiiiHitaMMibttfi SNOW DIDN ' T stop baseball practice.

Kent State ' s baseball team faced two hindrances during the 1957 season. Weather conditions proved detrimental at the beginning while the lack of hitting power caused trouble later. Weather Hindered 1957 Baseball Team THE COACH signaled safe as a Kent player was sliding into third base. Rain, snow and sleet coinbined to hinder the Flash baseball team from opening its 1957 campaign. Once the season began, it was the lack of hitting power that frustrated the baseballers. With eleven lettermen retianing from the 195(J team which finished fointh in the MAC, Coach Matt Resick had high hopes for a successful season. But after having their first three games cancelled be- cause of poor weather, the Flashes finally opened their season with a double-header against the MAC champs, Ohio U. As a forewarning of things to come, Resick ' s men lost both games because of a lack of clutch hitting, something that was to bother them all season. After losing their first three games, the Flashes man- aged to begin clicking and won seven of their next 13 games. The team finished with a 7-9 overall record. Despite the losing record, there was one bright spot during the season; the pitching staff was one of the best in the conference with a 2.66 ERA. Dave Twaddle led the staff with a 3-1 record and Nobby Lewandowski sported the lowest ERA with a 2.35. But, as the Flashes were to find out, it takes more than pitching to win games. With only a .215 batting average, they were to fall below the even mark for only the third time imder Resick ' s coaching. 235 Catcher Howard Leads Team In Hitting Though weak at the plate, the Flashes did boast several good hitters in Walt Howard who led the team with a .308 average and Jack Hufnagle with a .271. Noel Slagle, hitting .275, was forced out of action with an injury in mid-season. On the brighter side of the diamond. Coach Dick Paskert ' s frosh team was undefeated in nine games.

OU wos victorious as the Flashes found themselves on the short end of a 3-1 score. 236 Flash Tennis Team Looks Promising Bclore the 1957 edition ol the Flash tennis squad could get moving, they lost one o£ the top winners of the Mid-American Conference for several weeks. Shelly Wyman, who ran up an 8-1 record in singles the previous year, missed action in the middle of the schedule. After losing three straight to open the season, the net- men defeated Fenn College, and hopes for a better record rallied. But, the next seven matches were to bring only one more victory. F en in defeat, however, the Flashes showed a lot of promise with their heavily studded junior line-up and could prove troublesome to their opponents in the 1958 campaign which will begin in April.

The problem was not solved and the Flashes suffered one of their worst swim seasons in history. Many of the swimmers were forced to enter three events apiece ... a man-killing job. Despite all the troubles, George Braden set a new school record in the 200 yard butterfly when he swam it in 2:32.5 and Ben Holder broke the 200 yard breastroke mark when he tinned in 2:39.5 against Miami. Braden and Ron Riegler were among top MAC swimmers.

Thinclads in Race The well-worn adage of wait ' till next year was probably the one on the mind of Coach Jay Fischer and his 1957 Flash track team. Winning two meets out of eight, the thinclads duplicated their record of the previ- ous year. But, a few rays of light fell into the dark picture. Dick Mihalus tied a 17-year-old school record when he ran the 100-yd. dash in 10 seconds. Herb Lukachek, suffering from bronchitis, shattered his KSU two-mile record by 24 seconds. A newcomer, freshman Andy Bajcsa, broke the Kent record when he ran the mile in 4:24.

The season started poorly, but improved. 240 Cross Country Squad Lacks Depth It was not a case of having any top runners on the KSU harrier squad last fall— there just were not enough of them to go around. The first few weeks of the season, Coach Jay Fischer did not know if lie would have enough men to field a team or not. By the third meet of the season, he finally had a squad of seven. Despite the poor record, 1-6, and a lifth-place finish in the MAC, the Flashes boasted one of the best, one-two punches in the conference in lettermen Jerry Martin and Tom Maurer. Martin finished first or second in every meet except for Case Tech. Maurer had one first, two second place finishes, three third places and finished fourth once. Lack of depth proved too much for the team to handle, however. In the All-Ohio Cross Country Meet, the Flashes finished sixth.

Golfers At Kent After a poor start caused primarily Ijy l)ad weather, the golfers won four of their last five matches.

Men ' s Intramurals The men ' s intramural program at Kent State offers sports of interest to the athletic-minded students through- out the school year. Intramurals provide an opportunity for hundreds of University men to participate in sports on one of the 20 competing teams. The extensive program includes approximately 12 sports. Some of the sports are touch football, volleyball, Softball, track, swimming, wrestling, table tennis and basketball. With such a varied program, men may be active in at least two activities. Good sportsmanship in competition is the keynote of the teams which participate in intramurals. The teams are from fraternities, independent organizations and the two dormitories for men. Directing the program is Prof. Victor Moore who has served KSU since 1943. He is an associate professor of health and physical education. As d irector, Professor Moore must arrange schedules, handle various tournaments and keep the crowded pro- gram under control. The intramural committee of Student Council aids Professor Moore in planning the organization and the policies for the program. AS TEAMMATES watched, Alpha Tau Omega ' s Bill O ' Farrell and Delta Upsilon ' s Coe Orben struggled for the ball. The game ended in a victory for the ATO ' s. Basketball is only one of the intramural sports in which fraternities participate. 244 Women ' s Athletic Program Is Varied Kent State men are not the only ones with an in- tramural sports program. Under the sponsorship of the V ' omen ' s Recreational Association, sororities and wom- en ' s independent teams compete for trophies in basket- ball, volleyball and Softball leagues. Sports competition in table tennis, tennis, swimming, field hockey, badminton, archery, bowling and golf are also on the WRA program. Other organizations spon- sored by the group are the Shark ' s Club, Orchesis, Modern Dance Club and the Square Dance Club. All-Star games in the sports and such non-athletic activities as bridge tournaments also fall under ' RA sponsorship. Each spring at the ' R. picnic, two rotating All Sports Trophies are awarded. One goes to the sorority and one to the independent organization which accumu- lates the most points in intramtnal competition. To become a member of WRA, a girl must participate in five acti •ities— either intramiuals, open or closed clubs within three consecutive quarters. A minimum of three of these activities must be from the intramural program. Non-members can participate, however, in any of the leagues. Last fall, the group held the first official welcome of the school year at a Freshman Roimdup, the night before Freshman Week began. The Roundup, held in Memorial Gym, featiued games and sports.

Two members of the class of ' 61, Judy Morris and Judy Grafton were quick to learn that frosh who step on the University seal must pay by scrubbing It. 246 u mver ' slt Kent Slate University has grown in less than 50 years ironi an institution in which classes were held in a tent to a sprawling place with more than a tto cn buildings on one of the most beautiful campuses in the area. But its aims have not changed; indeed, they ha e become wider in scope. From an institution set up to produce teachers, it has become a sort of factory, producing skilled graduates to take their places in many fields of endeavor. The University is geared to even greater ex- pansion spearheaded by its capable administra- tion and faculty. This expansion is based on projected enrollment figines. More than 20,000 students are expected to be enrolled at Kent in 1970. More new dormitories, a new speech build- ing, a fraternity sorority row and the Rockwell Library expansion are all part of the picture. Behind this, there is a solid core of tradition. 247 PRES. GEORGE A. Bowman discussed Kent State policy with, l.-r., Robert C. Dix, Charles H. Lake, John R. Williams, Robert H. Stopher and Otto J, Korb. Members of the Board of Trustees are appointed by the Ohio Governor. Board Of Trustees MRS. ALICE P, Makinson is secretary to both President Bow- man and the Board of Trustees. Tilt ' Hoard ol Trustees is composed of six members, witli one being apjjointed each year lor a term of five years by ihe Governor of Ohio. The slate legislatiue must approve each appointment. The sixth member is the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. The members of the Board of Trustees supervise the development and expansion of the University during regular meetings in the office of President Bowman. Other duties include approving all new buildings, appropriation of school fimds, fulfilling of University policies and approval of all expansion programs. In all this work they are aided by Mrs. .Alice P. Makinson, the President ' s secretary. In addition to serving on the board, ihe members are active in several professions. John R. Williams, president of the board, was super intendent of Lake County Public Schools; C:harles H Lake, vice president, formerly superintendent of school of the City of Cle ' eland; Robert C. Dix, secretary, editor and publisher of the Record-Courier in Kent: Otto J Korb, treasurer, superintendent of schools of East Cleve land and Robert H. Stopher, editorial writer for the Akron Beacon Journal. 248 KSU ' s President The business of Kent State University is to educate men and women. With this goal in mind, Pres. George A. Bowman has guided KSU through 14 years of expansion in enrollment, facilities and curricula. As chief executive of a growiiig state university. Pres- ident Bowman meets in Colimibus with Ohio officials to solve problems such as raising fimds for additional class- room buildings and dormitories. Using foresight, he has met the problems which he has faced as administrator of the University. The President serves as a liaison bet veen the faculty, the students and the Board of Trustees. He initiated informal talks witli Student Council recently to improve University-student imderstandiirg. KSU ' s enrollment totaled 700 when President Bow- man was iiraugurated in 1944. Since then it has increased to 6,503 students, making Kent one of the three largest state universities in Ohio. In striving to improve the qualit) of teaching and to raise the educational standards of Kent State, President Bowman is always willing to listen to new ideas from the University faculty and staff. Under his leadership, KSU is expected to continue its advance. PRESIDENT BOWMAN has led Kent State University through 1 4 years of progress. PRESIDENT BOWMAN welcomed bock the University alumni and friends during the half-time ceremonies of the 36th annual Homecoming. Briefly, he explained the advancements that had been made in the past few years. 249 Deans Davis, Nygreen Provide Advice One ot the tirst administrators a freshman girl meets when she enters Kent State University is Dean Margaret Davis. Mrs. Davis, Kent State ' s dean oi women, is one ol tlie busiest people found on the KSU campus. She is viewed by the coeds, not only as an administrator, but as a real friend. Her clear thinking and unbiased opinions have helped many women students. Dean Davis has been on the campus since 1950. In her eight years here, she has become known to both the men and women students for her cheery smile and friend- ly hello. Sympathy and patience seem to be the watch- words that Dean Davis applies in her conferences with the women. Combining the two traits with understand- ing, she gives good advice to all who enter her office. Although she is busy, the Dean always can find time to discuss a problem or answer a question for a coed. She is not only in charge of the entire women students body of Kent State, but she serves as the advisor for the Association of Woman Students and Laurels, the senior women ' s honorary. By serving the students Dean Davis has endeared her- self to persons who are accpiainted with her. The Dean ' s warm personality and friendliness are, indeed, a great asset to Kent State University. Serving Kent Stale students since 1954, Dean Glen T. Nygreen has become a well-known figure on campus. As the Dean of Men, he remains in constant touch with the student body. Cionferences with confused students consumes much of the Dean ' s time. Nevertheless, he acts as advisor for several campus organizations. Dean Nygreen advises the Blue Political Party, the Gold Political Party and Phi Eta Sigma, the freshmen men ' s honorary. In addition to his administrative position, he is also an associate pro- fessor in the sociology department. Many students have unraveled their problems A ith Dean Nygreen ' s guidance. If the men on the Kent State campus want counseling or a man-to-man talk, the Dean is always ready to assist them. To face the complex duties of the Dean of Men. it is necessary to possess qualities of imderstanding and toler- ance. An imbiased opinion aids Dean Nygreen in his advisory capacity as a coiuiselor to both men students and organizations on campus. By providing guidance for its students, Kent State is fulfilling one of its obligations. The students, through their contact with the Dean and other administrators, may gain a fuller understanding of themselves and their associates. 250 University Police The Keiu Siale Police Force consists of sixteen men ' hose duties are to protect and aid the University stu- dents. Diversitied assignments keep the Police on duty 24 horns a day. ' hile some might think that the main job of the Force is to give parking tickets, this is not true. The Uni- versity Police protect their community— the campus— as other police forces protect their cities. KSU has a more adequate police force than many towns of a comparable size. To the dormitory women, the Police are watchful guardians. At night each dormitory has a policeman who serves as a protector and watchdog. PATROLING KSU buildings is the job of Carl Conoway, Clif- ford Calvin, Charles Caris and Rudy Tossenberger. EARL COLEMAN heads the GUARDING VERDER is the job of Allen Terrace; Martin Tinker, on all the dorms; Police Force at KSU. Boston while Ernest Baer keeps an eye on and Roy Ziegler, on Engleman. ED DURR and W. H. Bortlett patrol buildings as Kenneth Sommers and Desk Sgt. Clem Rine manage the desk. SERVING AS patrolmen of the University campus are Wade Con- nors, Bert Veon and Bob Crapo. UNIVERSITY REGISTRAR is Charles At- kinson, RICHARD ROTZEL is Director of Admis- sions. BENJAMIN McGINNIS is Assistant Dean of Men. MARGARET FORSYTHE is Associate Dean of Women. Keep KSU Running A capable administrative staff is required to meet and cope with the problems that lace an expanding imi- versity such as Kent State. The hundreds of tasks ranging from accepting appli- cations and scheduling classes to informing the public of the University ' s activities are handled by highly- trained personnel. From the first day tiiat a student enters the University until the day that he leaves as a graduate, he never loses contact with the administrative staff. All aspects of the students ' activities are in some way related to the admin- istration. In matters of policy, the administrators are directh responsible to President Bowman. Kent State University is steadily increasing and much of the growth can be traced to the abilities and fimctions of the administrative staff. 252 EMIL BERG manages the busi- ness offairs. UNIVERSITY COMPTROLLER is Frederick Bauer. ARCHIE HENDRICKS coordinates exten sion and special activities. DIRECTING THE Bureau of Placement is Poul Howells. LOREN HADLEY supervises the New Stu- dent Program. Behind The Scenes Among the duties the administrative staff performs are mailing grades, giving advice and doing a milHon other tasks that keeps the University operating. The members who perform special services are im- portant to Kent State because they establish good public relations between the University, students, other schools and prospective students. The men and women in charge do their duties effi- ciently and work to keep their departments supplied with the equipment to do a superior job. Through their ef- forts, a student ' s problems may be solved swiftly. More students, a larger fa culty and new departments increase the administrative duties carried on by the Uni- versity. As one of the three largest state universities, Kent State ' s increasing facilities and size require effici- ency and ability among the members of the staff who operate as administrators. GEORGE BETTS is the University ' s Public Af- fairs Officer. JAMES BRUSS is the News Bureau Director. JULIA WAIDA serves as Uni versify Editor. 253 College Provides Liberal Background HEADING THE COLLEGE of Arts ond Sciences Rackham. Jean trjc The establishment of courses leading to the degree ol Bachelor ot Art and Bachelor ol Science was ]3rovided by an act of the General Assembly in 1929. With the addition of the liberal arts division, Kent State Normal became Kent State College. The liberal arts division became known as the College of Arts and Sciences at the opening of fall quarter, 1956. The new name seemed to be a more descriptive title ot the courses offered in the College, and it also coincided with the name being used for similar colleges in other state universities within Ohio and the Midwest. The College considers the BA degree to represent a curriculum in which breadth takes first place. The BS degree represents a program of specialization. Along with the courses universally found in liberal arts divisions such as language, history and science, the College also offers art, joimralism, home economics, health and physical education, music and speech. The College cooperates with the other two colleges of the University by providing coinses that constitute a large portion of their curricula. The College of Arts and Sciences provides curricida designed to give students a fundamental background in the humanities, arts and sciences with emphasis upon breadth rather than specialization. Students are encoin- aged to develop their capabilities as individuals.

Business College Tlie College o£ Business Administration was organ- i ed to provide proiessional training in the fields of business and commerce. Tlie second aim of the College is to give the student a background which will enable hinr to advance. The major objectives of the College have been de- termined by the basic principles of any professional cinriculum. Recognizing that a college graduate is ex- pected to assume a place in society as a responsible citizen and that he will be called upon to participate in social, civic and political activities, the first objective of the College is to provide the students with the oppor- tunity to secure a liberal education. Coiuses in English, health and physical education, l anguage, mathematics, philosophy, science and social studies are included in the curriculum of the College. Because the College believes that economic activities constitute the major portion of the activities of any citizen, a well-rounded general business background is given to each BA student. The College of Business Administration is under the direction of Dean Stanley Vance. Dean Vance came to the University in 1956, and Dean Ardyn Allyn became the Dean Emeritus. FRANKLIN HALL contains most of the facilities for the College the Administration Building to the first floor of Franklin during of Business Administration. The Dean ' s office was moved from fall quarter, 1956. 256 DEPARTMENT HEADS, l.-r., Donald Anthony, Management; Har- Secretarial Science.

Educating Youth Is Their Responsibility 258 RITA ROHR used University reading clinic apparatus to test abili- ties of a Kent elementary school student. AT THE SPEECH and hearing clinic Rita Tascione tested Christine Hannan ' s hearing perception. Training Teachers Heading tlie College of Ediicaiion is Dean Robert I. V ' hite Jr., who came to Kent State in 1946 from the University of Chicago. The College, which is the oldest one at Kent, offers both a two-year cadet program and the usual four-year curricula. In addition to these, degrees in special fields such as art, business education, health, physical educa- tion, home economics, speech and hearing therapy, edu- cating the slow learner, deaf education, trade and indus- trial education are offered. Purpose of the College of Education is to train prospective teachers, supervisors and administrators through curricula giving both breadth and depth as well as competence in the field. Secondly, it offers a variety of coinses at both the graduate and imdergrauate level for those people who are already instructors. Students planning to graduate from the College of Education are under a program known as the Student Qualifications on Professional Stan dards. According to the provisions of the program, students must maintain a 2. acciunulative average in the University, maintain a 2. in the freshman English courses and pass either the English composition examination or course, the gram- mar usage test or course and the handwriting test. DEAN ROBERT I. White Jr. heads the College of Education which has a branch in Cleveland. A STUDENT TEACHER helped several students with their art pro- ject. Through this teaching program and other requirements, the College of Education is better able to prepare their students for careers in the field. 259 Graduate School Organized in l!);i5. (he (.liiiliiale School has increaseil from a few suidents lo ()95 in 1958. The school strives to instill within the student a fundamental imderstanding and a thorough mastery of his major field, fn addition, independent thinking and reasonable ability in research are emphasized. A recommendation from the proper department head and an undergraduate scholastic average of 2.5 or above are necessary if persons from accredited colleges and uni- versities wish to enter the KSU Graduate School. Appli- cants from unaccredited institutions are judged on an individual basis. Twenty-seven departments offer graduate study al KSU. Degrees include Master of Arts, Master of Busi- ness Administration antf Master of Education. The Graduate School is directed by a Coimcil which is headed by Pres. George A. Bowman. Dean Raymond M. Clark serves as the executive leader of the Graduate School. He came to KSU in 1926. By providing graduate instruction, the University is advancing the students ' preparations for technical or pro- fessional pursuits. The high qualifications of applicants and the stringent requirements set forth insure that schol- arship is maintained. SERVING AT KENT State since 1926, Dean Raymond Clark heeds the Groduate School. GRADUATE ASSISTANT Don Leyden demonstrated one of Kent State ' s scientific facilities to students, l.-r.. Bill Monte, Carolyn Collins, John Huber, Wendie Longley and Jerry Livingston. Gradu- ate students work in 27 departments. , W I ?R!Si ' mm - .my Meet The Seniors Kent Slate is aimed at yielding the best possible products in the lorni ot stiulents who receive their degrees and take their place in the ranks ol business, the teaching profession and the world ot educated peo]jle. They are ready to assume the resjjonsibilities and duties ol the college graduate. But these four years ol intensive education hokl many memories which will always remain as an integral part of the Kent State graduate. Memories of dances, athletic e cnts. the campus in the spring and many more crowd into mind. Friends, education ant! Iiui are all combined in the l:)iisines.s that is Kent Stale University. Lectures, classes, laboratories and examinations are the mainspring of the acquired education. Hoins in the Hub, all-LIiiiversity dances and mixers, organizations and Creek living imite to make the social aspect of college life memorable. Taken as a whole, the classes, clubs and friendships associated with Kent form a picture of KSU for the graduates. Barb J. Achauer Canton Donald E. Adams Bellevue Elaine A.

Zinni Vorkville Seniors Have Watched Many Changes OFFICERS, Bill Leonard, Vice Pres.; Nancy Lee, Sec; Bill Sutton, Treas.; Gene Robbins, Pres. Four years have passed since the Class of 1958 entered Kent State University to begin their quest for a higher education. Under the guidance of Assistant Dean of Men Ben McGinnis, the Class has made great strides in achieving the ultimate goal of graduation. Chosen from a field of eight candidates, Stuart Myers and Nancy Lee were considered the outstanciing juniors of the Class of 1958. Myers was chosen by the student body as Duke of Kent and Karlyn Vaughan was Miss Kent State during the Class ' s senior year. While juniors, the Class agreed to help the Class of 1957 finance the purchasing of the carillon bells which were first officially played at the ' 57 Campus Day. During this same year, the Class sponsored the J-Prom at which the 1957 graduating seniors were the guests of the Class of 1958. CONSTRUCTION HAS BEEN a by-word at the University during the four years the seniors have been at Kent . , . construction of Terrace Hall, Verder, Johnson, the library addition, the faculty parking lot beside the library and the renovation of Franklin. 292 Junior Class Gives Bible To Library The size of the Class of 1959 has decreased about half since the members entered KSU in the fall of 1955. In contrast, attendance at class meetings have shown a growth that was not formerly apparent. The class meetings were based mainly on discussion of the purchase of the Koberger Bible for Rockwell Library, awards for outstanding juniors and whether or not Kent should have a finals week. The Class of 1959 presented a rare edition of the Bible published in 1475 by Nuremberg printer Anthony Ko- berger to the Rockwell Library. Kent State now has one of the I-l complete volimies of the Latin Bible. The gift will be displayed in the rare book room of the new addition of the Library which will open in the fall of 1958. Other projects of the Class have been to contribute financial support of the Conference on Religion and it gave 3500 toward the purchase of the carillon bells. At the annual Jimior Prom, ten outstanding junior men and women are presented certificates for their ser- vice to the Class. Dr. Lawrence S. Kaplan has been advisor to the Class for the three years of existence and will continue this role throughout next year. KATHLEEN BAMBERGER and Ed Gillies presented the Lober- ger Bible to John Nicholson Jr., head librarian. OFFICERS, Muriel Lundy, Sec; Kathleen Bamberger, Vice Pres.; Ed Gillies, Pres.; Grace Martin, Trees. As the executive body. these students guided the activities of the class during their third year at Kent State. 293 Sophomores Are Semicentennial Class THE SOPHOMORES were challenged to a basketball game by the fresh. It ended in a tie. The Class of 1960 is the Semicentennial Class of Kent State University. The Class has adopted the motto of the Semicenten- nial, Dedicated to Developing Human Resources. The group uses the official seal that appears on the University stationery. It is a chestnut leaf and a chestnut burr sur- roiuided by the words Kent State University Semicen- tennial 1910-1960. Serving as chairman of the student committee in conjunction with the Semicentennial is Bill Richards. William Taylor, chairman of the School of Journalism, is chairman of the faculty committee. The two commit- tees work together and will f miction through 1960. On the student half of the committee, eight sophomore men and fifteen sophomore women are on the committee. The Class believes that scholarship is the most im- portant reason for coming to college but this has not hampered the extra-curricular activities. Last year as freshmen, the class started two traditions that were continued by the present freshmen. The first Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony on the front campus was sponsored by the Class of 1960. The same year it inauginated the first Leaf Raking Day. The Class advisor is Roland Patzer of the Dean of Men ' s Office. OFFICERS, l.-r., Roland Patzer, Adv.; Pat Whitmore, Treas.; Sally group heoded the Semicentenniol Class during its second year at Bloomfield, Vice Pres.; Bill Lahl, Pres.; Judy Beacham, Sec. The the University. 294 THE TRACEY TWINS from Cleveland entertained students and faculty who attended the freshmen-sponsored record hop in Wills Gym. Emceeing at the hop was KYW disc jockey Dick Reynolds who gave away records during the evening. 2500 Frosh Continue KSU Traditions The 2500 membeis of the Class of 1961 began college life with the traditional New Student Week. In five days the new Kent Staters filled out class schedules, at- tended a freshman mixer in Memorial Gymnasium, met the President at his home and learned the first verse of the Alma Mater. The city of Kent is noted for its many trees with the University greatly contributing to the picture. The freshmen held the second annual leaf rake in the late autumn, helping the maintenance crew with their all- campus job. The event was not only a working project but provided a social atmosphere among the participat- ing members. Wills Gym is the scene of many all-University mixers, sponsored by various organizations. Freshman Class President David Wright introduced the Tracey Twins of Cleveland at the record hop given by his class. Dick Reynolds, a disc jockey at KYW, hosted the mixer and gave away records during the evening. The freshman and sophomore rival classes battled out their differences on the basketball court. During half- time of a varsity game members of the two classes held a clowning basketball game. A tie score resulted from the contest. The freshman class takes p art in those activities which will groom it for an active part in the functions of the student body for the next four years.

The suc- cess and necessity of many of these concerns, in return, depend to a great extent on the niniierous purchases Avhich students make during the school year. Both busi- nessmen and students provide each other with advantages that neither can afford to lose. The Main Street of Kent must take the place of the business districts that several thousand students have left behind. Here they expect to find the same products sold which were available in home towns, ff the desired goods are in stock, Keirt businessmen can count on the students to buy steadily. Kent stores adequately supply the varied produce that campus dwellers need. Everything from after-date snacks to banking service can be found vithin a short distance of the classrooms. Many Kent businesses serve the school and emphasize the needs of the students. -- . f 3 Saiute YOU . . . feJy IT IS OUR PLEASURE TO SERVE YOU WITH THE FINEST OFFSET AND LETTERPRESS TO GIVE YOU WITH CONSTANT SUPERIOR SERVICE.

Ellen 147. 151 Editor Takes A Last Look Backward Editing the 1958 Chestnut Burr has been quite an experience. It all began last March when the 1957 Editor Dave Jones approached me between classes and asked it 1 would like to apply lor the position. At the time, 1 had been managing editor of the Stater. I had done a little work on the Burr and the idea appeared to be a challenge. Until the book got into actual production, I did not know what a thoroughly denranding challenge it was. On the whole, the staff was inexperienced. There were old hands such as Betty Gatchel, Ann Floyd, Jane Mc- Caffrey, Barb Benncdek and Chris Simitaculos who helped a lot. But there were man) ' problems that arose and were unanswerable until the capable advisor, Mr. Edward Cliney, lent a hand. Without him, publication of the book would have been impossible. An overwhelming gesture of gratitude must go to the people we dealt with in the book ' s production— Joe DeOrio from Canton Engraving and Judson Rinebold and Phyllis Gilliland from Gray Printing. Money alone could not pay them in full for all the help that they have given to the staff. To sum it up, the whole book and all the details in- volved have illustrated the vaiue of cooperation, not just in producing a yearbook, but in life. Ed Glassner, the 1959 editor, gets my sincerest well- wishes. He will have problems in the production of the book, of course, but tlie experience he gained as chief photographer anil then as photo editor of the 1958 book will be invaluable. If I have gray hair al the graduation ceremony, it will be something else I have received from the 1958 Burr. It truly has been a remarkable experience. -RJK 312
