'74-e 1950 fnauguaal .ni if? ffm' if ,N- an ln keeping with the economic, social, and political changes seen and experienced in the nations of the world today, change and innovation have also made their impression this year on the life of our college campus. Coincident with the turn of the century, the colorful, autumnal inauguration of Dr. John Scott Everton as the eleventh president of Kalamazoo College marked a turn in ad- ministrative policy and ushered in an era of greater understanding and cooperation among the various campus groups. We have been fortunate this year in having an admin- istration that not only has seen the necessity of real integration, but also has made great strides in meeting the need of drawing the many threads of practical experience and theoretical, textual information into a com- mon unity that will carry meaning into the exigencies of life. Students and faculty have advanced to- ward the realization of their common aims and have been inspired to work together with the administration for the well-being and the richer experience of the college fam- ily. Evidence for this has been in the greater student representation on administrative lev- els. Through teas, dinners, and Faculty-Stu- dent Council meetings, a concerted and determined effort has been made to bring the administration, students, and faculty to a greater appreciation of each other's views and to the fuller realization of the keynote of our administrative policy- a fellowship in learning.

The 1949 Hornet football team completed its season with a 2-6 record, worst since 1940, and placed fifth in the MIAA. A tough schedule plus iniuries to key players handicapped the gridders most of the fall. ln their first season under Coach Lloyd lDobl Grow, the Hornets opened with a 13-7 win over DePauw. Freshman quarterback Phil Dillman threw two touchdown passes to end George Mason and halfback Vito Tutera, with tackle Conrad Hinz adding a point after touchdown. Kazoo fell to Wooster, 20-26, the following weekend in probably the best game of the year. After losing the Homecoming game to Hillsdale, Kazoo spoiled AIbion's alumni weekend with a 21-7 verdict over the Britons. Dick Cain took over passing duties and tossed to ends Milt Christen and Garry Brown for scores. Bob Simanton, the team's leading ground gainer, added the third TD. Hinz kicked all three placements. Losses to Valparaiso, Adrian, Alma and Hope ended the season. A heavy loss by graduation hit Kazoo for the first time since the war. Senior gridders include Val Jablonski, Milton Christen, Horace Webb, James Edwards, Alvin lDougl Bourgeois, Charles Wright, Italo lAcel Candoli, Noble Sievers, Howard lGusl Southworth, Kenneth Youngs, James Nawrot, Robert Distin and Spencer Burns. Many of them have starred on Hornet football teams since 1946. Twenty-two returning lettermen, however, bolster K College's 1950 football plans. 107
