Wherever people get together, there are groups formed — mostly through similar interests, simi- lar ideals and similar goals. Thus, any campus community becomes the ideal situation for organization. Kent State university is no exception. On its campus can be found something for every in- terest and preference. Want to learn to shoot a rifle, bake a cake or dance? Interested in politics or learning more about your faith or future pro- fession? Or just want to have a good time with people who share similar goals? KSU offers a club specializing in each of these fields. Since such a great number and variety of or- ganizations exists here, most students belong to at least one of them. Many prefer the pro- fessional groups, such as the American Chemi- cal Society, the Industrial Arts Club, the educa- tion associations and many others. These groups are usually made up of majors in a certain sub- ject, who gather in order to study special prob- lems of their field. Others prefer to join organizations such as Golden K or Alpha Phi Omega, where service to the university is the primary objective.

And then in 1959 the College of Fine and Professional Arts, the baby of the university fam- ily, came into being because of the large enroll- ment in the College of Arts and Sciences, said Dean Kamerick. The degrees offered by our col- lege are for fields ranging from architecture to speech and hearing therapy. Well, of course, said Dean Hill, we hope to produce graduates with a professional back- ground in business and the ability to deal with people. Ah . . . ah . . . h . . . To receive a degree from the graduate school, a student must possess the ability to do intensi- fied study. This is emphasized even more in the doctoral program which went into effect in the fall of 1961, said Dean Wilber. In the College of Education, added Dean Schindler, we hope that the students will obtain a general education as well as a pleasing per- sonality, sound moral judgment, and an interest in people. The lights flickered off and on. Ah . . . Excuse me . . . Dean Rackham said, In the College of Arts and Sciences, we stress a liberal education while encouraging students to develop their potentials and capabilities as persons and members of so- ciety. Off went the lights. Excuse me, gentlemen, came the voice of the photographer. I simply must lock up for the night. Would you like me to come and let you out in the morning?
