N THE fall a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of . . . school. When September rolls around, the boys and girls begin their process of gaining a higher education. The freshman makes a firm resolve to spend all his leisure time crack- ing the books. The sophomore resolves not to break his freshman resolution. The junior knows better than to make any resolutions, and the senior rides along on his reputation. Before anyone can settle down to a strictly budgeted semester, the whirl of social and extra-curricular activities sweeps the student away. Even before the new professors' names could be memorized, the fresh- men were battling the sophomores and raising the flag of ,45. Athletics then began to take its share of the men, the football players getting their first taste of action on the new varsity field. Politics, too, snared many. Biggest political event outside of the annual elections was the resignation of the Kappa Sigma Chi fraternity from the Greek party. The fall of '41 was noteworthy for many things which gained Kent State University prominence. The first student broadcast was made from KSRW, Student council drafted a new constitution, delegates from three states met here for the Ohio Valley International Relations Club Conference. Eight-hundred people were present at the annual Sadie Hawkins Day dance, Dr. Catherine MacGregor was elected Pigskin Prom Queen by the football players. Priorities began edging their way into the campus scheme, the Penny drive was renewed so that men in the service could receive copies of the Stater, Duchess, and Chestnut Burr, a large crowd attended the Messiah. Basketball began creeping into the spotlight, the administration began to think of ways and means of figuring out credit for men drafted. And last, but far from least, war was declared.
