Chestnut Burr JSlneteen Jrundred and Jorty Seven KENT STATE UNIVERSITY KENT, OHIO The students in this illustration are symbolical of the veterans on the campus. Although they are indistin- guishable from other students, the shadow of their military service is omnipresent. Dedication MAIN objective of the Second World War was the right to a free, liberal education for all peoples. In this second uneasy year of peace, thousands of Americans who fought that war are being assisted by their government in attaining this ideal. The men and women who served their country in the armed forces returned to college with a different view of life and objectives. They have settled down to the serious pursuit of scholastic life. Although the veterans have not engaged in all the types of frivolity which once typified college life, they have freely entered into the social and extra-curricular activities on the campus. As Kent State University in 1946- 1947 was composed mainly of veterans, we feel that their scholastic ac- complishments here, as well as their military achievements abroad, deserve grateful recognition. We are proud to dedicate this volume of the Chestnut Burr to those who assisted in preserving the rights of freedom.

This has been an important year, with many un- usual situations confronting both the administration and the students. A record fall enrollment — some- what more than 4,000 — swamped our facilities and created several unexpected problems. A serious hous- ing; shortage resulted in large-scale commuting from as far away as Canton and Cleveland. Classrooms were more crowded than we had ever known them. Cafeteria and registration lines were longer, and slower. Textbooks, the essentials of education, were short. Downtown restaurants were mobbed at mealtimes; their food supplies often proved inadequate to Kent State ' s sudden spurt of growth. Even study problems were aggravated. Students resorted to auditorium seats, or classroom desks placed in the hallway running; between Kent Hall and Mer- rill Hall. Barracks-type dormitories were hastily constructed to accommodate ex-GIs beginning, or continuing, a war-interrupted college education. The Administra- tion announced plans for a Student Center to be con- structed between the Heating Plant and Enedeman Hall. Veterans were pre-dominant among Kent Staters — reaching a total of eighty per cent of the student body — and displayed an easy adjustment to college life. As a group they maintained better-than-average grades, indicating a serious approach to their prob- lems. For the first time in many years, classes were held evenings and Saturdays. A full-time branch university was established in Canton to accommodate freshmen and sophomores from that area. With sufficient manpower back on campus, a full program of varsity athletics was resumed. Football, basketball, baseball, swimming;, wrestling; and track teams turned in very satisfactory records, with prom- ise of better things in the future. Other campus activities reflected the increased enrollment. Organizations dormant during the barren war years were re-activated; the social calendar was full. ' Our school is growing up. The whole human race found 1947 difficult going;. The same results of the Second World W ' ar which gave Kent State its impetus to growth brought to the great globe one of the most significant years of its recorded history. The atomic bomb continued to be the object of desperate deliberation, speculation and fear. The United Nations sought a formula for world peace. Wartime controls and regulations were aband- oned. Labor strife continued to make major headlines. For the first time, war instigators were punished for crimes against man. We, the Chestnut Burr staff, have tried to record in picture and print the highlights of life in 1947, on the campus and in the world. Our objective has been to give permanence to memories of your doings, your friends, your classmates and vour professors. The staff was relatively inexperienced in the field, and un- dertook production of the book in spite of serious material shortages. We hope that today, when you leaf through the Burr for the first time, you will appreciate and enjov its contents. In future years we hope you will find it valuable to restore memories of events and people almost forgotten. A.G.

The main buildings form a semi-circle on a ridge above the rest of the campus, affording a spacious view over the front campus and surrounding countrv- side. In Spring, Summer and Fall, most students have enjoyed a pleasant stroll across the shaded front campus or have relaxed from strenuous classroom toil on the soft grass. Winter brings a chilling wind, but who has not stopped a moment to admire a new fallen snow on the campus hillside. The daily trek up the hill will be remembered by all who have attended the University. Numerous changes are in progress or are contemplated. In a few years the campus, so familiar to present students, will have a greatly changed and improved appearance.

The official fall registration listed 4768 students on the Kent campus and 650 at the Canton branch. This great influx of students almost doubled the population of Kent. Many were unable to find housing facilities in Kent and were forced to commute. Others secured temporary quarters at the Maple Grove housing project and later in the year in the University barracks. Classes were filled to capacity and the faculty bore a heavy burden of extra classes. Jammed hallways made progress between classes slow while an acute traffic situation resulted from hundreds of student drivers. During meal hours most of the eating places in town were crammed. In the second quarter the enrollment declined slightly but not enough to offer much respite from the crowded conditions. Year z ij UCH ado was made over the atomic bomb and its possible effects upon civilization during the year. The above photograph of the atomic bomb experiments at Bikini was taken by an automatic camera mounted in a tower on the beach. The picture shows the huge tower of water and steam created by the underwater ex- plosion in the second test. All the world shuddered at the thought of another war in which atomic energy would be the basic explo- sive force employed. To forestall this occurrence, the United Nations deliberated at length over methods of controlling the production and use of this brute energy. Whether or not these discussions have been of any avail will be known through the passage of time. While most of the world cringed at the devastating power of atomic energy, scientists were absorbed with the problem of harnessing the energy for peaceful purposes To gainfully employ atomic power presents per- plexing problems but it is hoped that eventually the world will benefit from the development of atomic dis- integration. 19 George A. Bowman, A.B., A.M., LL.D. President of the University President George A. Bowman found in his third year at Kent State University that leadership of a rapidly expanding institution involved more than just desk work. Through his efforts and many trips of inspection to government surplus piles all over Ohio, he was able to supply the campus with dor- mitory space, cafeteria equipment and classroom space necessary to meet demands of a veteran-swollen population. His additions to the faculty have not only provided much needed instructors but have done much toward raising the prestige of the school. President Bowman, aided bv his secretary, Mrs. Alice iVlakinson President With a personal interest in the welfare of each individual, Dr. Bowman has attempted to bring a wider scope of educa- tional possibilities to every student at the University, keeping in mind that in several years college training will not be merely desirable but virtu- ally necessary for entrance into crowded technical and special- ized fields. His background of school administration prepares him well to act the role of ad- visor and aide. Robert C. Dix Otto J. Korb John R. Williams Joseph B. Hunan Charles H. Lake Truste At regular meetings in President Bowman ' s office, members of the Board of Trustees oversee the development and expansion of the University. John R. Williams continued as president for the past year, assisted by Joseph B. Hanan, vice president; Robert C. Dix, secretary; Otto J. Korb, treas- urer; and Charles H. Lake. Clyde Hissong serves in an ex-officio capacity. 21 Emmet C. Stopher Registrar Mrs. Matilda Johnston Assistant Registrar Merle E. Wagoner Lester H. Munzenmayer Director of Appointments Paid E.

Law Assistant Treasurer Lawrence Wooddell Superintendent of Maintenance ISE direction of a university of nearly 5000 students is accomplished only through concerted activity by the entire staff leading it. Without cooperation the chaos of postwar re- vision and adjustment would never have been untangled. The Coordinator of Veterans ' Af- fairs has been active this year in providing guidance for veterans who comprise eighty per cent of the stu- dent population. This office has found popularity by insuring prompt deliv- ery of subsistence checks and bringing to the attention of every ex-G. I. the benefits resulting from regional and national legislation. Once again at registration time lines stretched down the main drive . . . the deans were swamped with guid- ance problems . . . the housing shortage prompted an intensive Bed-for-a-Vet drive . . . dieticians found meat and sugar shorta ges to be only a small part of their problems. Mrs. Rhema Fair Student Residence Advisor Ernestine Williams Head Dietician Alberta E. Limbach Assistant Dietician Charles E. Atkinson University Examiner 4850 Register In Fal c John Reed Spicer, A.B., A.M., Ph.D. Dean of College of Liberal Arts HE versatility and sympathetic understanding of under- graduates ' needs and problems have made Dr. John Reed Spicer one of the most popular administration staff members during his first year as Dean of the College of Liberal Arts. Having just recently completed work on his doctorate, the thirty-nine-year-old Dean has had an intimate, personal knowledge of his students ' problems. A revised and expanded system of faculty advisors and important curricula changes marked the first-year improve- ments introduced bv the administrator, enabling a student to receive competent, individual advice relating to his studies from authorities in each particular field. 2 5 r i 1 of Nina S. Humphrey ACULTY members of the School of Art this year again sponsored the annual exhibition of work by University stu- dents, staff, and alumni. An invitational tea in the Fall form- ally opened the exhibit which included paintings in oil and watercolor, crayon drawings, and craft pieces by the five new artists who joined the faculty this year. These new members were Robert and Barbara Morrow, Julius Faysash, Max Johnson, and Miss Maxine Maxwell. Such a display of work was instrumental in sparking student confidence in their teachers ' abilities. Returning from a year of study, Miss Nina Humphrey, head of the school, began her thirty-third year with the de- partment. Teaching every phase of art, the school curriculum was expanded to offer concentrated sequences in jewelry design, weaving, graphic arts such as lithographing and wood cutting, and marionette and puppet design. These were in addition to the regularly scheduled classes in commercial and studio art, as well as the history and appreciation of the subject. E. Ladislaw Novotny Robert and Barbara Morrow Wilbur W.

Ulch ITH the return of the elaborate Masque Ball, the Art Club took an active step toward reviving traditional events unique to the Kent State campus. The January dance, for which the orchestra of Johnny Michaels provided music, was the high point of this year ' s program of activities. Creative enthusiasm and critical ability are devel- oped in artistically talented students through this club, a University organization composed primarily of majors and minors in the School of Art. The fre- quent field trips to nearby museums and exhibitions were financed from fees earned by decorating Wills Gymnasium for school affairs. Students enjoyed the club ' s original decorations for the Homecoming dance. Top Hop, Newman Club formal and most other social affairs. These projects were led by President Walter Schaffer and his ex- ecutive council which included Glen McFarland, Alice Hudson, Virginia Block, Mavis Lemmons, and Richard Pope. Art Club members, refusing to let rain spoil their picnic, adjourned to the shelter of Kent Hall. 27 OURNALISM activities hit a new high with an increased enrollment, establishment of a publicity and promotion short course and expansion of the nationally-known short course m news photography marking as outstanding this year ' s growth in the School of Journalism. Directing its progress was William D. Taylor, Jr., who returned from overseas military service to lead his department to its place as eight- eenth among journalism schools in the nation. Cited as the school with the country ' s fastest-growing enrollment, the total number of journalism students rose to }2o this year, including 35 majors registered in the outstand- ing photography curriculum taught by Assistant Professor James A. Fosdick. More than 500 professional photographers and public relations workers attended short courses directed by Alfred A. Crowell and Michael J. Radock of the Journal- ism School faculty. Journalism students revived their departmental organization which sponsored the annual high school day and speeches by noted people in the field. William D. Taylor, Jr. Alfred A. Crowell Michael J. Radock Murray Powers James A. Fosdick HE official publicity and news of Kent State is distributed by the University News Bureau, directed by (Michael J. Radock, as- sistant professor of journalism. He is aided by a staff of student assistants. Full-page news- paper and magazine layouts and network radio broadcasts have brought to a national audience the story of this year ' s expansion at the University. Preparation and distribution of special in- formation booklets for individual activities, such as athletics and the A Cappella choir, were handled by this office, which also pro- moted the Model Model contest. Daily sports releases were sent to area news- papers by Mickey Dover, while Marion Cole handled home town and g eneral university news stories. Ernest Rowland was staff pho- tographer and Jeri Petzel did news bureau mailing and secretarial work. Jeri Petzel, Mickey Dover, Michael J. Radock, Marion Cole, Ernest Rowland Eleanor Tomasik, Assistant Jeri Petzel, Jargon Editor Marion Cole, Kent Alumnus Editor ONTHLY pocket-size editions of Jargon, School of Journalism house organ edited by Jeri Petzel, bring Journalism School news, personal items, and features to the attention of the 500 J alumni and students, keeping them in contact with one another as they work and study in more than a dozen states. ITH the growth and strengthening of the Kent State University Alumni Association, the bi- monthly alumni bulletin increased in scope and importance. The Kent Alumnus, edited by .Marion Cole for the second year, has seen a growing pop- ularity which has resulted in almost doubling last year ' s circulation. 29 S THE enrollment of the University reached an unprec- edented size, Alvin Geitgey, editor, found it necessary to increase the size of the annual Chestnut Burr, making the 1947 edition the largest book in history. Introduced in this issue is coverage of the Canton extension school of KSU, and for the first time in four years a revived and expanded sports program is presented pictorially. Photography by skill- ful ex-service cameramen and by class students gave promise of high ratings for a new era yearbook. Alvin Geitgey, Editor Book I: M. Musil; F. Carioti, Editor; R. Singhaus; M.

It was obvious to Business Manager Clarence Tonka that though the war abroad was over, the war of supply and demand on the production market was still being waged. Scarcities in all fields threatened to delay production, and purchase of essentials called for miles of leg work. With a nation-wide shortage of newsprint contrasted to an increased number of pages, the yearbook was fortunate that, due to the foresight of its leaders, contracts had been made months in advance to cover paper supply, printing and binding. Further growth was also evidenced in the advertising section. Photography Staff: VV. Koch; O. Maxwell, Editor Book IV: R. Arnold, Editor; D. Warman Book II: J. Finn, Editor; M.

In its sixty columns of news each week, the Stater fought for better student government and educa- tion. With the return from service of former journalism students came the reappearance of traditional sports and political columns. Veterans dominated the editorial staff, led in the Fall bv Matt Fenn, editor. The advertising depart- ment was efficiently handled by Business Manager Frank Yendelv.

Professional-caliber critiques of musical and artistic events, concentration on the serious aspects of college education, and interpretation of campus trends were evident in news and editorial columns. Close work with University clubs through a series of feature articles resulted in increased membership in many groups and success of worthwhile campaigns. Aided by Kent Stater support, the University Veter- ans Association, Booster Club and similar service groups were able to expand their activities. Publication of the Kent State University Canton edition of the newspaper continued on a bi-weekly basis during the Spring, under campus edition editors. The Kent Stater maintained its high position among college newspapers throughout the nation, with Pro- fessor Alfred A. Crowell as advisor and Julian Suso business manager. Robert E.

Wentz, Prof. Satterfield, C. Partridge K EEPING policies of Kent State publications on the highest possible level is the responsibility of mem- bers of the Publications Policy Committee, student- faculty group which selects heads for the student newspaper, yearbook, and humor magazine. In semi-annual meetings, committeemen examined applications from students for editor and business manager of the Kent Stater and Chestnut Burr, and selected heads of these publications. The group also gave its approval for reappearance of the Duchess, monthly humor magazine, by select- ing the edi tor and publisher. New faculty member on the committee this year was John B. Nicholson, Jr., librarian. Professors re- taining their posts were William D. Taylor, Jr., Ches- ter A. Satterfield, and Leland C. Whetten. Four stu- dents approved by Student Council were seated on the Publications Policy Committee. 34 £ HE DUCHESS, campus humor magazine, re- sumed publication last fall under the guidance of Glenn Yotti, publisher, and Al Weekly, editor-in- chief. The grand old lady returned to the campus with a fresh spirit and a new editorial policy. Coverage of the major events and trends at the University was included in each issue of the maga- zine. Articles of current interest aroused a high de- gree of student readership. Following a policy of using many pictures each month, the Duchess kept a large staff of photographers busy turning out all types of pictures. The chief photographer for the Duchess was W. Doc Koch with a staff of experienced cameramen. The editorial side was handled by Hope Greener, assistant editor; Phil Dempsey, feature editor; Bob Wentz, copy editor; and Ward G. Van Orman in charge of humor. Earl Greaves and H. Lee Baker furnished the art work. Business matters were taken care of by John Laurenson and Bob Ryan. Duchess Glenn Yotti, publisher; B. Ryan J.

Under the presidency of Stater editor Matt Fenn, the fraternity cooperated with the journalism depart- ment in the annual short courses in Public Relations and News Photography. It also engaged well-known journalists to address the journalism student body at regular meetings. In February Chi Pi sponsored the annual publica- tions banquet, at which new heads of the University publications were named. The Paul Ryan Stater achievement trophy and the new Aiatthew J. Fenn trophy were presented at the banquet, which was held at the Mayflower Hotel in Akron. Chi Pi also gained the distinction of becoming the first journalism fraternity to make a donation to the John Peter Zenger Memorial fund. Matt Fenn, president. Center: M. Fenn. Seated: R. Hoyt; R.

Collaborating with Chi Pi and the School of Journalism, the fraternity assisted with the annual Short Course in News Photography by helping find housing for visiting photographers and aiding the journalism department in handling the tremendous influx of mail. Lambda Phi also helped sponsor the annual high school day of the Northeastern Ohio Scholastic Press for students interested in journalism. Special awards were presented for the best news stories and certifi- cates were awarded to the outstanding high schoo papers. President of Lambda Phi this year was Ethel Schir- mer, with Eleanor Meek vice-president, Beryl Knox secretary and treasurer, and Marion Cole historian.

Crowell, member of the faculty of the School of Journalism, which sponsored the event in March. Five hundred news cameramen brought their Speed Graphics to the campus to photograph the much-heralded Model Model and to attend lectures by twenty- nine nationally-famous lensmen who re- vealed newest photography techniques. Life Magazine photographer Frank Scherschel was chairman and Julius Greenfield, chief of the Akron Beacon Journal photo staff, director. Frank Scherschel Julius Greenfield Pendleton Dudley L. E. Judd Public Relations Short Course yVEWEST project of the School of Journalism this year was organization of the First Annual Short Course in Public Relations. Several hundred out- standing promotion directors from Ohio and neighboring states attended the two- day conference in June, conducted by Michael J. Radock, assistant professor of journalism and University News Bur- eau head. Public relations men from business, industry, and institutions attended lec- tures by nationally-known figures in the field. Short course director was Pendleton Dudley of New York City, and L. E. Judd, Akron, was chairman. A council of sixteen Ohio public relations men guided the project in its first year. 38 School of Music LJ RAINING of a professional caliber is offered by musicians who comprise the faculty of the School of Music, headed by Prof. Fred Herman Denker. Vocal and instrumental curricula prepare talented students for solo and ensemble work as well as the teaching of music. Private training in every major band and orchestra instrument is offered by regular faculty members, supplemented by distinguished artists from the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra. Faculty of the School of Music this year sponsored an extensive program of recitals, highlighted by a Spring concert featuring compositions of Prof. Harold Miles. The school also sponsored regular weekly programs of recorded classical music from the complete departmental library. Further emphasis was placed on informal recitals by applied music students, as part of the well-rounded departmental program designed to produce expert, thoroughly-trained artists. Fred H.

Band members began the school year by providing colorful,well-executed formations as a marching unit at gridiron contests. Paced by Drum iMajor Jack Rus- sell, the blue-and-gold uniformed group was particu- larly impressive at the season finale with the Uni- versity of Akron. On the concert stage Prof. Metcalf directed the spring concert, which featured the popular Grieg Piano Concerto, with Prof. Fred Herman Denker, head of the School of Music, as soloist. Musicians of the Kent State group travelled to Wittenberg College for the annual festival with bands of every major Ohio school. Here students learned new music and were given an opportunity to per- form under various directors. Officers of the band for the last year have been John Solomon, president; Marshall Friedland, vice- president; and Patricia West, secretary. University Band Roy D. Metcalf Director 40 Symphony Orchestra Uh Kenneth Bvler Conductor ITH THE return to the faculty of Kenneth Byler, assistant professor of music, the University Symphony Orchestra resumed its pre-war pattern of an all-student ensemble, after being augmented by local talent for almost four years. Musicians in the Orchestra officially opened the Kent State concert season early in the Fall Quarter with a recital of classical symphony and programme music. David Kemppel was concertmaster of the group which won early recognition from critical audiences. In addition to its regularly scheduled concert ap- pearances, the Orchestra cooperated with the School of Speech in providing appropriate background music for University Theater productions. The Symphony Orchestra operated independently of the University Band but many able students participated in both or- ganizations. A more mature student attitude toward serious music was evidenced in the popularity of Orchestra programs. Concerts were a fine blend of well- balanced yet contrasted numbers played with pre- cision.

A Cappella Choir Caro M. Carapetyan Director - OURS throughout Northeastern Ohio and radio broadcasts over leading area network stations brought new acclaim to the Kent State A Cappella Choir and its director, Caro M. Carapetyan, associate professor of music. Radio Station WTAM, Cleveland, aired the choir in a half-hour program of Christmas music, and appearances from the University auditorium over Station WHKK, Akron, and from other area stations followed. Director Carapetyan brought added recog- nition for the choir as he led the 8o-voice group in recitals at leading churches in Cleve- land, Akron, Youngstown, Canton, and Mass- illon. The choir director also edited several an- cient compositions, including Gallus ' Alle- luia, which were given their United States ■premiers on this campus. 4 _ OCUSING attention on ballads and songs more than four hundred years old, the Madrigal singers this year brought to the campus a rarely-heard type of music sung in tradi- tional sixteenth century style. Organized and led by Caro M. Carapetyan of the School of Music faculty, the Madrigal singers were often included on regular programs with the A Cappella Choir. The sixteen trained singers, composing the first group of its kind at Kent, were selected by the director after individual invitation and audition. Madrigal Singers Second Choir M, -AKING far-reaching plans for improvement of the A Cappella Choir, Director Caro M. Carapetyan this year established the Second Choir, comprised mainly of freshman and sophomore singers who were being trained for eventual membership in the senior choral group. In training this Second Choir, Professor Carapetyan em- phasized development of a professional attitude achieved through persistent training, sincerity and enthusiasm for vocal music. All singers were held responsible for perfect memori- sation of words and music. 43 7 OUR outstanding young American vocalists this year combined their talents with the 200 Kent State University singers and orchestra members to revive the annual presenta- tion of Handel ' s famous Christmas oratorio, The Messiah. New York soloists Eleanor Brownell, Gertrude Berggren, Alfred Hopkins and John Grant sang leading roles in the December performance, witnessed by a capacity audience. Director of the oratorio in its first performance at Kent State since 1 944 was Fred Herman Denker, head of the School of Music. In addition to students in the Messiah chorus and orches- tra, many faculty members and local musicians aided in the performance. Singers and audience alike were thrilled by the closing Alleluia chorus which climaxed the oratorio. 44 li) Inter Wonderland As the winter clouds rolled over Prentice Gate and cov- ered the campus with a fleecy white blanket, students found new entertainment. Snowball- ing, tobogganing and skiing were definitely more fun than classroom lectures. Then came the big drift. Classes were closed for one day and everyone on the campus had a royal time.

Headed for the seventeenth year by E. Turner Stump, founder of the school, the speech department aids other divisions of the University in preparing public programs. Speech students are also called upon to help in campaigns for local welfare and civic im- provements. High school students are encouraged to take an active part in dramatics through the annual summer workshops sponsored by scholarships to the Speech School. The School of Speech is also the home of the national publication of Alpha Psi Omega, largest dra- matics honorary organization in the world. Prof. Stump is the national president of this fraternity.

Students write and produce these programs under the direction of the faulty advisor. The modern soundproof studios are completely equipped except KSRW veterans Bob Smiley, Don Shanower and Helen Mitrovka work with Prof. Clarke on a Sat- urday broadcast. for a transmitter. Broadcasting was greatly facilitated this year by the addition of a direct line to WAKR, Akron. Now the programs are broadcast directly from the University ' s studios. The Workshop is following a policy of representing more of the Uni- versity ' s departments in anticipation of the day when the Kent campus will have its own radio station. Smiley edits a Radio Workshop script to meet the quarter-hour broadcast time limit. Sound effects engineer Dolores Clark sends her foot- steps over the mike in an exciting mystery drama. Students in one of Prof. Clarke ' s radio classes discuss the current broadcast while they meet in the KSRW studio. 49 Pi Kappa Delta yjr NCLUDED in the many activities of the Kent chapter of Pi Kappa Delta, national honorary speech fraternity, is participation at the biennial tournament in which Kent State students debate with orators from the nation ' s leading colleges and universities. This year ' s contest took place in April at Bowling Green State University. Pi Kappa Delta pledges are chosen by balloting of members of the honorary. Eligibility is based on points gained through inter-collegiate speech activities, with emphasis on debate work. Forensics coach James N. Holm has been advisor to the group since 1939. Under his guidance, eight Pi Kappa Delta members met with speakers from other schools in oratory contests. The members were also official hosts to students from twenty-three schools represented at the Buckeye Debate Tournament. Standing: R. Farr; Prof. J. N. Holm; M. Bradley. Seated: J. Cook; G. Jeffrey.

V HROUGH the efforts of the University ' s For- ensics Club, the group responsible for debates, oratory, and other types of extensional speaking off campus, Kent was host to the annual Buckeye Debate Tourna- ment held here in Febrary. Facing debate teams from twenty-three surrounding colleges, the University tied for third place. Professor James N. Holm, the original organizer and present advisor, succeeded in rapidly extending the group ' s activities which were curtailed during the war. In keeping with policies of expansion, an invita- tion was sent to the University of Hawaii proposing Forensics Club participation in an April tournament with Statehood for Hawaii as the subject. The president and student director of the Student Forensics Association the past year was Ray Farr, while Jeanne Cook acted as vice-president. Gail Jeffrey was the club ' s secretary, and Lee Shenefiel was treasurer. 5° UNIVERSITY THEATER G. Harrison, F. Faust, Prof. W. West, and Prof. G. H. Wright study Othello stage model built and donated by H. V. Wands. Macbeth, a victim of an insatiable greed, meets his death at the sword of MacDuff. James Bissett and Don Shanower. J OR THE past forty years, through the Little Theater movement, dramatic interest and activity has spread among the people of the nation, until it has become an important aspect of American life. The Kent State University Theater has felt that it has had some part in the development of the national expression, since for seventeen years it has been operating under the School of Speech and has pre- sented a regular program of plays. The University Theater has fulfilled the various functions of the stage by maintaining a balance be- tween plays of cultural importance and those of high entertainment value. As a result of these efforts, Kent State students have enjoyed a well rounded program of fine entertainment during the past year. The season of 1946-47 found two plays in the cultural group — Macbeth and Othello ; and in the entertainment category were East Lynne , Agatha Cristie ' s Ten Little Indians, and the story of old back bay Boston society, The Late George Apley . Acting as theater manager for this year ' s successful productions was Felice Faust, with Clifford Hancock serving as business manager. 51 The last little Indian, Jane Filler, faces the hang- man ' s noose of the murderous judge, Jim Bullock. A scene from Ten Little Indians: D. Shanower; H. Mitrovka; J. A. Hammack; Wilbur Adams. Theater One went and choked himself, And then there were none . . . vJ N KEEPING with pre-war tradition, the University Theater this year resumed its schedule of five full-length plays, with Shakespeare ' s Macbeth opening the season. Featured in the lead role was UT veteran Don Shanower, with freshman Helen Aiitrovka as Lady Macbeth. E. Turner Stump, head of the School of Speech, directed. In addition to the three campus per- formances, the Macbeth cast played to more than 3000 students in eight northeastern Ohio high schools. This was the nation ' s first road show of classic drama by a college touring company. As the result of this highly-successful ex- periment, the National Thespian Society will sponsor similar tours next year by six leading colleges throughout the LJnited States. KSU will represent the Ohio district. Helen Mitrovka in the sleep walking scene from Macbeth. Freshman players D. DeSimio, L. Manis, and K. Telford made a hit in East Lynne, Freshman pro- duction. Productions CJ HE second successful production of the season, the melodramatic East Lynne , was presented by the Freshman Players, under the direction of G. Harry Wright. The humorous rendition of between act vaudeville skits and a small but effective pit orchestra helped to make the play the entertaining production it was. Next came the Agatha Christie spine-chil- ling who-dun-it, Ten Little Indians , directed by a newcomer to the School of Speech, Robert I. Pearce. The second Shakespearian classic of the season was Othello . The year was closed with the Kaufman-Marquand hit The Late George Apley . Both of these were directed by Mr. Wright. Mutual suspicion causes contention between D. Budner and J. Filler in the Agatha Christie chiller. 53 Speech Clinic w, IDESPREAD recognition has been attained by the Speech and Elearing Clinic established by Professor John R. Montgomery in 1945 as a branch of the School of Speech. This department attempts to develop competent field workers and classroom teachers who can handle the variety of problems found in the fields of Speech Pathology and Hearing Therapy. The operation of the clinic gives students excellent oppor- tunities to learn through actual clinical application. Acting as a service to the University, the clinic assists students with hearing and speech difficulties to overcome their handicaps. Area citizens not connected with Kent State also come to the clinic for assistance, providing ad- ditional experience for student therapists. John R. Montgomery Hilda Carano instructs Gail Jeffrey in technique for making correct speech sound recordings on the mic- rophone in the Speech Clinic. Graduate student George Dike gives pure-tone audiometer tests to an off-campus case, while a class in clinical audiometry observes tech- niques. Clinic supervisor Eleanor Gray in- structs a class in methods of teaching lip reading to persons with hearing impediments. Prof. Montgomery, clinic director, assists a laboratory class in phonetics in making pseudo-palates used in the study of palatography. Miss Gray administers group aud- iometer tests given to all KSU stu- dents. Prof. Montgomery, in the back- ground, instructs graduate students in ear anatomy. Matilda Davis, student clinician, makes a recording of Joan Kay An- drews ' voice. Records show progress of each clinic case. 54 J N CHICAGO last December Prof. E. Turner Stump, head of the School of Speech, was elected to his fifth consecutive term as Grand Director of Alpha Psi Omega, national dramatics fraternity which he helped found in 1926. The Kent Beta Psi chapter of Alpha Psi Omega took the lead in activities of the national organization. Kent State became the home of a new quarterly pub- lication, the Callboard, edited by graduate student Clifford T. Hancock. Membership in the dramatics honorary is by in- vitation based on points earned in acting, stage work and production of University Theater dramas. Alpha Alpha Psi Omega Psi member Felice Faust was theater manager, Terry Pugliese assistant director of Othello, Wilbur Adams stage manager for several plays and Hancock UT business manager. Adams was president of the honorary this year, with Don Shanower as vice president and Miss Faust secretary-treasurer. Seated: F. Faust, J. Bullock; J. Filler; C. Hancock. Standing: N. Bozeka, D.

Bertellotti; J. Cook. 55 Department of English zr. HROUGH the addition of nine new teachers, the Department of English met the problem of supply- ing instructors for an increase of more than 300 per cent in the number of English classes offered at the University last Fall. Professor Chester E. Satterfield, head of the depart- ment, found that to accommodate the influx of both veteran and non-G.I. students, it was necessary to open fifty-eight classes of freshman English as com- pared with sixteen at the same time last year. This number rose to sixty-three in the Winter Quarter, and more were scheduled for the Spring Quarter. Thus the new total of twenty-one faculty members brought Shakespeare, Shaw, romanticism, realism, and the comma to Kent in Monday through Saturday classes. Chester E. Satterfield Kenneth R.

Headed by Dean Raymond E. Manchester, Kent State faculty member for twenty-seven years, the mathematics department placed added emphasis on engineering training for students of civil, electrical, chemical, and me- chanical engineering. In conjunction with the office of the Dean of Men, business statistics students made a detailed survey of men students at Kent State, which aided in planning for their activities. 57 Department of Natural Science James C.

W ITNESSING the ever increasing importance of science in many new fields today, the members of Phi Sigma Xi, science honorary, have tried to develop some realization of what the subject will mean in the modern world. The organi- zation, led by President Pauline Williams, Vice-president Jim Hewitt, Secretary Marie Barzan, and Treasurer Howard Dillon, selects its members from the Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and Mathematics Departments. One of the group ' s major activities last Fall was a trip to the Cleveland Clinic and the Cleveland Musuem of Natural History. Speakers, among them the noted chemist Dr. W. L. Semon, movies, and social events were also included in this, year ' s program. ■ Phi Sigma Xi 59 Department of Foreign Languages (f USSIAN was the subject to draw the most at- tention this year in the Department of Foreign Lan- guages. Taught by Bernard S. Mikofsky, assistant professor, the new language was popular with students interested in classic Russian drama and literature, as well as in business opportunities with the Soviet nation. Dr. F. Dewey Amner, department head of his second year, saw interest in all classes — French, Span- ish, Russian, German, Italian, and Latin — increase with the desire of veterans to learn the formal language of places thev had known in service.

EGIOXAL groups of which Kent State Univer- sity Home Economics Club is a member meet once or twice a year to compare experiences and gain inspira- tion from each other ' s ideas and activities, discussing the field from many aspects. The club, which is com- posed of home economic s majors and minors, provides many opportunities for gaining experience and apply- ing training that cannot be secured in a formal ClaSS- room sitting. Adding to the pleasure of the members are numerous social activities as well as many helpful educational projects, through which the students are better enabled to understand the field in which they are interested. The organization, which is a local branch of the American Home Economics Association and is also affiliated with the Ohio Home Economics Associa- tion, tries to enlighten the members as to the scope and value of the studies in which they are engaged. These aims are succeeding as indicated by the ever increasing number of home economics students who are becoming members of the society. 69 Dr. Arville O.

Projects carried out during the year included assisting the college with pre-registra- tion, securing an up-to-date library of catalogs from all the colleges of business in the country, and making a statistical survey of all the graduates of the college. At the beginning of 1947 the chapter ranked seventh in the efficiency contest among the sixty-three chap- ters in the country. A scholarship key was presented to the outstanding graduate in the college. Founders Day was celebrated on November 2 with a banquet at the Robin Hood. Twenty-two new members were installed at that time. A Christmas party was held for all members and their guests. On May 16 the chapter celebrated its fifth birthday with a dance. Leading the group for the past year were Alvin Geitgcv, headmaster; Harding Wichert, senior warden; Jay Doty, junior warden; Bob Rector, scribe; and Warren Bower, treasurer. Preparation of enter- tainment and scheduling of meetings was handled by William Sullivan, while Chirles West took care of all publicity. Professor Victor Gravereau rendered the group invaluable service during the year as faculty advisor. Group of Delta Sigs and guests at a Christmas banquet.

White, Jr., A.B., A.M., Ph.D. Dean of the College of Education ITH the start of the Fall quarter came proof that the University had outgrown its Normal School days. For the first time the College of Education, though faced with the enrollment increase which pervaded the campus, became the smallest of the three academic colleges. Under the progres- sive leadership of Dean Robert I. White, Jr., who came to Kent State this year from the University of Chicago, several new curricula were introduced. Majors were established in the fields of Library Science, with particular attention to art supervision for the elementary level, and Speech and Hearing Therapy. A minor in Recreation was also created to train students for professional-calibre camp counselling work. Teacher Amos L. Heer, Director of Teacher Training, and secretary, Mrs. Leora Barron Fren Musselman, Prof, of Education and Dean of the Summer School RAINING and recognition of outstanding teachers was continued this year by Kappa Delta Pi, national education honorary which completed its twelfth year at Kent State University. Membership in the honorary is drawn from upper- division students in the departments of kindergarten- primary, elementary and secondary education. Working with heads of these departments, Kappa Delta Pi again sponsored the annual scholarship tea honoring University students with grades of at least B. Outstanding speakers in the education field brought specialized information to members of the honorary, providing a well-rounded view of contemporary American educational practices. President of the Delta Beta chapter was Margaret Winings, with Jack as vice president, Janice Lee Jayred, treasurer, and Eleanor Di A ' linno, secre- tary. Advisor was Dr. Amos L. Heer, director of teacher training. Working with Kappa Delta Pi were department heads G. Hazel Swan, Dr. Marion Van Campen, and Dr. Alfred Stewart. Seated: M. Winings; J. Cropp; L. Jay- red. Standing: Prof. A. Heer; G. Inscho; T. Zimmerman; M. Barzan; G. Padrutt; C. Amond; G Jeffrey; Prof. B. Brady. 80 Ethel Foster Ballard I. Brady INTEGRATION of college subjects with practi- cal experience in the teaching field was the core of this year ' s improved program of the College of Edu- cation and the Kent State University Training School. Because of the record-breaking number of men in the education field, emphasis centered on preparation for secondary school teaching. Existing fields of study for teachers were made more comprehensive and several new major sequences added. The previous system of student-teaching in Training School class- rooms from first through twelfth grade was contin- ued, under supervision of staff critic teachers. Special attention was paid to graduates in the teach- ing field, through clinics sponsored bv the College of Education. This was an effort to meet their problems and eliminate recurrence of these same difficulties for future teachers now at KSU. Marion K. Van Campen Susannc M. Koehler G. Hazel Swan Alvin J. Miller S. Martha Robbins 81 RINGING into focus the entire childhood edu- cation program, including parent and teacher training and child development, the Kindergarten-Primary Club has just completed its nineteenth year on the Kent State campus. As a member of the national Association of Child- hood Education, the K-P Club brought outstanding speakers from the education field to discuss current problems and methods. Thus steps were taken to raise standards of professional training for teachers of children from the nursery school through the sixth grade. Club advisor has been Miss G. Hazel Swan, head of the Department of Kindergarten-Primary Educa- tion. Leading the eighty-seven members of the honor- ary were club officers Betty Maurer, president; Rae Ellen Lohrke, vice-president; Phoebe Steiner, secre- tary; and Tillie Zimmerman, treasurer.

Speakers from the faculty, student body, and outside organ- izations spoke on the school systems of their native lands, thus broadening the understanding of prospective teachers in the ele- mentary grades. Jacqueline Shafer served as president of the club for the 1946-47 academic year. With her on the executive board were Josephine Cook, vice-president; Ruth Howe, secretary; and Roberta Grube, treasurer. The fifty members met socially for both a graduation dinner and a spring children ' s party. Miss Susanne Koehler, associate pro- fessor of education, was instrumental in the planning of these gatherings while acting as advisor to the E-E group. Vv ' HE START of the Winter Quarter found a slight but significant relief to the crowded living conditions in the opening of the new Terrace Lodge, a colony of five housing units east of Moulton Hall. The buildings, originally prefabri- cated hospital units destined for the tropics, were procured through the Marion, Ohio, surplus properties depot. They were obtained by paying the trans- portation and erection costs. As the men moved into the new dorms in the muddy 6- i Winter, they found the unterraced surroundings covered with slush and puddles, but looked forward to the promised Spring landscaping. Accommodating 220 students, the buildings each contain single and ward rooms, recreation room, study space, and utility room. The residents eat in the University cafeterias.

Nicholson, Jr., found ways to make Rockwell Library ' s seating ca- pacity of 400 available to 5000 student and faculty readers. Aided in his planning by Thomas F. Gardner, assistant librarian, Prof. Nicholson enlarged the re- serve room and placed full-time librarians in this most widely-used part of the building. Sunday afternoon reading periods were made possi- ble through Prof. Nicholson ' s cooperation after stu- dent petitions showed interest and need of such a move. American history became a field of concentration in buying new books, and several valuable sets were added to Rockwell Library. By the end of the year the staff had increased to twelve full-time librarians, in addition to almost 70 student assistants. John B. Nicholson, Jr. A student librarian aids in locating a book.

Open to all students with private pilot certificates, the course included twenty-six hours of cross-country flight in Stinson 150 ' s and two lec- ture hours each week. A further expanded program in aeronautics prompt- ed the Industrial Arts Department to schedule four elementary flight courses with a total of eighty-five students enrolled. Flight instruction courses attracted eighty students. The aeronautical program received an added boost when considerable surplus aircraft equipment, which included aircraft parts and assembly material, switches and training films, were secured.

PATON, assistant profes- sor of industrial arts, guided the aeronautics program this year. Flight courses were taught by instructors contracted through the Akron Airways, while instruction in ground courses in flying was offered in classes on campus. The University-owned airfield at Stow, with four sod runways each 3300 feet long, is not in use at the present. All flights were made from the Akron Airways field with students renting commercially owned planes. A con- tract between the University and the airport provides for use of the field and planes by students, with the school determining the con- tent of the courses and retaining supervisory control. All students enrolled in flight courses, in- cluding the one woman member, were veter- ans. With newspapers carrying frequent ac- counts of air tragedies the Aeronautics Divi- sion had no serious accidents during the year. 87 Carl M. Conawav Pearl F Warren L.

Schindler, former speech director at Canton .McKinlev High School, accomplished a task requiring much tact and patience. I lis friendliness, sense of responsibility and sincere interest in KSUC made him well- liked by Canton Center students. A branch of Kent State University established for the pur- pose of offering freshman and sophomore courses to Canton area students who eventually expect to attend the University, KSUC this year had an enrollment of 650 students. The reg- ular faculty was augmented bv professors from the Kent campus who taught evening classes. r i OPHOMORES at KSUC elected two men to lead them in their 1946-47 activities. President Jack Posey, one of the many students studying at Canton under the GI Bill, attended Mount Union College and the University of Missouri before entering the Air Corps, and is a pre-law student. Owen Hemphill was chosen secretary-treasurer, and capably handled the finances of the class, which, with seventy students, Mas far outnumbered by the huge freshman class. At a special assembly held early in the school year, the Sophomore Class voted to adopt the constitution which had been established by the Freshman Class. As a result, a steering committee was set up to guide the activities of the class by drawing up a program for the year. Under this plan all parties and social events at KSUC were sponsored by and open to mem- bers of both classes. Owen Hemphill, secretary-treasurer; Jack Posey, treasurer.

Helping President William Kelly guide the class were Glenn Campbell, vice- president; Jeanne Quick, secretary; and Cliff Eddie- man, treasurer. The class was organized during the Fall Quarter, but really became established on a firm foundation with the adoption of a constitution on January 10. On that day students poured into McKinley High School auditorium and quickly ratified the document which had been drawn up by class officers and fac- ulty advisors under the chairmanship of Bert Ebert. Political Science Instructor Louis Khourev super- vised the drafting of the constitution and was of much help to the class in planning social events throughout the year. Miss Quick, class secretary, reigned at the Mardi Gras dance February 18 as the Sweetheart Queen of KSUC. 9 ' 9 93 LTHOUGH the KSUC faculty had only thir- teen full-time teachers, it was augmented by four Kent campus professors, twenty-one part-time instructors, and five special advisors. The thirteen full-time instructors were natives of thirteen states. These included: Miss Elva Bramhall, Missouri; Miss Jessie Burroway, Wisconsin; Richard Emmons, California; Miss Ruth Geib, Indiana; E. C. Hertzler, Michigan; Jacques Kaplan, Minnesota; Miss Charlotte Lane, Illinois; John Popa, Massachusetts; and Kenneth Yeager, Pennsylvania.

Organized under the di- rection of Norma Van Benthuysen, the first issue of the KSUC Stater appeared November 22. .Miss Van Benthuysen served as editor-in-chief. Other members of the staff were Sam Mujais, sports editor, with Oscar Borom as his assistant and Evelyn Cobb as girls ' sports editor. Betty Georges and Gene- vieve Morgese were feature editors and Allen Stein- hardt was business manager. Adding life to the paper were columnists Tom Jakmides and Vivian Booher. Reporters included Foster Humphrey, Martha Heising, Mary Louise Bid- well, Owen Hemphill, Rheta Woods, William Ittner, William Sullivan, Richard Gonser, and David Silver. The KSUC Stater sponsored the selection of the KSUC Sweetheart Queen, who was presented, along with her court, at the Mardi Gras dance February 18 at the Hotel Belden.

These pages, dealing with KSUC, were handled by Norma Van Benthuysen, who also edited the KSUC Stater. Assisting Miss Van Benthuysen were Marcine Jul- ian and Genevieve iYlorgese. Emil Oprean was the Canton photographer, and cooperated with a staff photographer from Kent to effectively cover events at Kent State University Canton. The Canton section of the Burr also had its own business staff. By allocating a part of their activity fees to it, Canton Center students received the 1947 Burr on the same basis as students on the Kent campus. Certain that the Canton branch is a permanent and important addition to Kent State University, with its 650 students and its curriculum for freshmen and sophomores, editor-in-chief Geitgey felt it was de- serving of a place in the University yearbook.

Y GIVING performances at student assemblies and school parties, the Kent State L 7 niversitv Canton Choral Club established an excellent reputation as a well-balanced choral group. Composed of thirty-eight music loving students, the Choral Club had weekly meetings and practice periods. Nancy Elson was elected president, Delores Nader vice-president, Jeanne Quick secretary and Carolyn Koehler treasurer. The KSUC chorus combined with the chorus of Canton McKinley High School to present Handel ' s Messiah during the Christmas season. The two groups worked together under the leadership of Les- lie D. Hanson, who is director of both the Choral Club and the McKinley High School chorus. Particularly outstanding among the members of the KSUC choral group was Delores Nader, who in ad- dition to participating in the performances of the group, sang at meetings of Canton business organiza- tions and over radio station WCMW. 98 First row: Jeanne Quick, Nancy Elson, Evelyn Cobb.

A Christmas program highlighted by a play, Why the Chimes Rang in Norway, was broadcast over radio station WC.YIW in Canton December 2 1 . General program chair- man was Claude Colvin, while Joe Niamtu had charge of the Christmas program. The club also sponsored round table dis- cussions concerning the curricula and activi- ties of KSUC, and brought to the Canton Center the Kent State University Theater production Ten Little Indians. Miss Elva Bramhall directed the KSUC play Abie ' s Irish Rose, which was presented March 26 and 27 in the McKinley High School auditorium.

President of the club was Richard Button. He was assisted by Wilmer Binkley, vice-president, and James Doyle, secretary-treasurer. Richard H. Em- mons, science and mathematics instructor at Canton Center, served as advisor. Most of the pre-engineers were air corps veterans who hoped to turn some of the training they received in service to good use. The club sponsored movies and lectures, including one by Charles Powell of the Ohio Public Service Company, who discussed the duties and qualifications of electrical engineers in in- dustry.

HE FOURTH extra-curricular club to be estab- lished at Kent State University Canton was Kappa Mu fraternity, which was founded by twenty-five pre-medical students. Purpose of the fraternity is to bring in speakers to provide knowledge of advances in the field of medi- cine, explain to members what society expects of its medical men, and disseminate other information of value to pre-medical students. In addition to these aims, however, there existed a desire to promote good fellowship among those Kent State Canton students who expect some day to enter the medical profession. First president of the group was Lloyd McCorry. Richard Green was elected vice-president, Austin Brochaw secretary, and Jim Shaheen treasurer. r MONG THE clubs established at Kent State University Canton this year was the Young Women ' s Educational Society, which was organized by Canton Center women students who expect to enter the teaching profession. Striving for improvement in the field of education through better teaching methods, the society was led by Mrs. Emma Carroll, instructor in education at Canton Center. The YWES held a membership drive which was very successful under the motto of Go WES, young women, go WES. Officers of the society were Shir- ley Morrow, president; Vivian Hayes, vice-president; Carolyn Koehler, secretary; and Evelyn Coates, treas- urer. At various times during the year members of the YWES acted as substitutes in Canton schools. First row: B. Johnston, C. Koehler, S. Morrow, V. Haves. Second row: G. Otto, L. Mujais, S. Foote, E. Coates. J UPERVISED by Robert Power, instructor of French at Kent State University Canton, a French Club was established to join the growing list of ex- tracurricular organizations arising at KSUC to enable students to broaden their knowledge outside school hours. Organized at mid-year, the neophyte club held many informal meetings featuring French records, songs, lectures, and even French language movies. Outstanding among a series of readings done in French was the Count of Monte Cristo by Alex- andre Dumas. In this way students were able to add to the basic French which they were taught in class. jVlardL Qra£ 102 J HE Kent State University Canton swing band was organized last fall under the direction of R. Don- ald Stump. Mr. Stump, director of the McKinley High School band, provided very capable leadership. Composed of KSUC ' s outstanding musicians, the swing band provided music for many of the school ' s social functions throughout the year. Practice sessions and meetings to discuss plans of the band were held every Monday. Emil Ciontea, one of the student musicians, was leader of the McKinley concert band in 1946. He also gained recognition for his work in the play Abie ' s Irish Rose. First row: C. Perez, C. Leucnberger, M. Maggiore. Second row: Y. Kellv, R. Kane, C. Schworm, E. Ciontea. Spanish Club m. ■ OST ACTIVE of the many clubs organized at KSUC this year was the Spanish Club, which was supervised by Jacques Kaplan, instructor of Spanish and German. Boasting a membership of twenty-eight, the club held weekly meetings to provide the students with a more complete knowledge of Spanish, with the em- phasis being plac ed on conversational facility. Outstanding among the activities of the club were lectures, films and forums. Among the speakers were John Popa and Kenneth Yeager. Jose Fernandez served as president; Guzman Cespedes, vice-president; and Rosa Hunter, secretary-treasurer.

The team was coached by Arthur Red Ritters- baugh, who also coaches Canton McKinley High School ' s Bulldogs. In intra-collegiate games the KSUC hoopsters dropped two contests to the Kent State University Junior Varsity by identical scores of 39-36. Outstanding were the performances of former Mc- Kinley cagers Bob Lilly, Bill Cook, and Steve Samart- gedes. Other varsity basketballers were Paul Nist, Pete Schleininger, Dick Trachsel, John Morgan, Bob Logan and Bob Sonnhalter. Coach Rittersbaugh also directed a program of class and fraternity league basketball, while Freshman Class Treasurer Clifford Eddleman taught a class in boxing. A non-credit course in swimming was offered under the direction of McKinley High School pool instruc- tors. 105 u OLLEYBALL, basketball, swimming and work on parallel bars comprised women ' s athletic activities at KSUC this year. Classes were held on .Monday and Wednesday nights from 7 to 8. .Miss Hester Johnson directed gymnasium activiti es, while Miss Margueritte Eckis directed swimming classes. Complete coverage of women ' s athletics for the KSUC Stater was accomplished by Evelyn Cobb. Outstanding event of the year was a basketball game between the men and women ' s gym classes. Also of interest was the presentation of the order of the purple garter to Barbara Johnson, injured in the line of duty during a basketball game.

Fans began to talk of bigtime encounters for the team and by the end of the season it looked as if this dream might be budding into reality. At least the groundwork had been laid for better competition in the following season. A heavy enrollment of men helped to bring all varsity sports out of the doldrums. More candidates for the basketball team turned out than ever before in the history of the school. Swimming, wrestling, baseball and track teams met a full schedule of opponents. A crack coaching staff enabled the University teams to garner more wins than losses. The dire need for a stadium became increasingly apparent and several groups were busy working on plans to provide Kent with a first-class stadium. Late in the year, a Booster Club was organized to consolidate and coordinate the activities of the fans. 114 Year Cardi Jbeat JSoHon £ Y FAR the greatest sporting spectacle in the world, the 1946 World Series provided sport fans with plenty of excitement and suspense. The St. Louis Cardinals finally took the series by scoring a lucky run in the eighth inning of the seventh game.

This play proved to be a startling climax to a hard fought series. It will no doubt be one of the most dis- cussed plays in all baseball history. Other major national sports evidenced the return of top-notch players. Two football leagues participated in a series of hard fought encounters. 5 HIKE is ONCERNED about the future of post- war athletics at Kent, the University officials last year secured the services of a dynamic voung man to fill the vacant post of athletic director. Trevor Rees was named to guide the current athletic fortunes of the Flashes. In 1935 Rees was an All-American end at Ohio State. He coached successful football teams at Shaw high school in Cleveland and at Ohio State where he had been an assistant to Paul Brown. Rees served in the Navy with the rank of Lieutenant Commander. He brought to Kent the ability and drive to produce great athletic teams. In his first full year as athletic director, he effectively demonstrated these capabilities. Trevor Rees Athletic Director The Coach WEEPING the cobwebs from the corners of the Uni- versity ' s dormant wartime varsity sports program, Rees started down the difficult road of building winning teams. He secured players and equipment and arranged a schedule with comparable teams. To aid him in his quest of the Ohio gridiron pinnacle, Rees surrounded himself with a young and talented group of assistants. These aids possessed the valuable quality of being able to personally demonstrate correct football forms and maneuvers. The accomplishment of the 1946 football team was a credit to the coaches. With six wins against two losses, they compiled the second greatest grid record in the University ' s history. Karl Chesnutt Harry Adams Joe Begala Wes Stevens And His Staff M ' EVER in the history of the University had a better balanced coaching staff been assembled to di- rect the sports program. Joe Begala, Kent ' s renowned wrestling mentor, returned from military service in time to assume the important position of trainer. He cared for the bruised and injured gridders with a minimum of praise and a maximum of skill. Wes Stevens, former Purdue tackle, had played under Rees in 1937 at Shaw high school. When he was forced by an injury to leave Purdue for a year, he returned to Shaw to help Rees with the coaching chores. The association proved so successful that when Rees came to Kent he secured Stevens as coach of the guards and tackles. Harry Adams first came to Kent in 1941 following an illustrious high school and college career at Cuya- hoga Falls and Muskingum. At that time he was an assistant football and basketball coach. After three years in the Navv he returned to take over the tute- lage of the ends. Karl Chesnutt was a member of the HPE depart- ment when his appointment as grid assistant was announced last June. The diminutive coach grad- uated from Ohio University in 1935 and was head coach at Wickliffe high school before joining the Kent faculty in 1943. 117 All Ohio Conference (_ NE name destined to go down in Kent ' s football history is that of Frank Mesek. The Golden Flashes ' rugged right guard was named to a first string guard berth on the Associated Press 1946 All Ohio Confer- ence team. Many who had watched Alesek ' s great offensive an d defensive performance feared that he would be neglected at the end of the season when the time came to pass out the plaudits. Youthful players seldom receive the honors and Frank was a freshman. But Alesek ' s staying power, his spectacular feats of grid prowess, such as cleaving a path for the ball carrier by eliminating two would-be tacklers with one block, had won the praise of press and public alike.

Kent 40 Hiram (_JHE inaugural game was a rout with Kent sweeping over Hiram 40-0, but football hungry Flash fans loved every minute of it. When chunky Paul Loos, Flash right half bulled his way across the Hiram goal line for the University ' s first touchdown less than two minutes after the open- ing kickoff, 4,500 fans at Chagrin Falls realized that Kent ' s highly touted new era of athletics had begun. Trevor Rees had fashioned a football team whose only resemblance to Flash teams of yore was that it still wore the Blue and Gold. This team blocked and tackled viciously. It pre- sented half a dozen backs of the scat variety, who were scoring threats every time they carried the ball. The entire club was well coached in fundamentals and in near perfect physical condition. The final score was merciful only because Rees swept the bench during the game. Kent 20 John Carroll 7 cJi ' FTER their easy opening victory, the Flashes met stiff opposition from the Blue Streaks who were rebounding from a 48 to o whitewash at the hands of Baldwin-Wallace the week before. It was a battle of unorthodox football, with Rees ' cockeyed T opposed to Carroll ' s six linemen-to- right-of-center offense. The hero of this contest was Johnny Aioore, who was on his way to establishing an all-time passing record for Kent backs. With the game apparently a 7 to 7 tie near the end of the fourth quarter, Moore started passing with Kent on its own 2 3 -yard line. He hit Pat DelVecchio, t hen Howard Wolfgram, to move the ball to the Carroll 23. Then Moore electrified the spectators by fading back and pitching a perfect touchdown pass to Leo Kot to cinch the game. In the closing seconds Bernie McGroarty added insult to the Carroll injury by intercepting a Blue Streak pass and dashing 16 yards for the third score. rank Mesek, Guard J John Moore, Quarterback!

Bluffton Kalamazoo Kent Bowling Green 13 j f ITH two victories behind them, the Kent power-house continued to roll in their first home appearance. Handling a slippery pigskin during a steady downpour, the Kent scat-backs piled up 22 first downs to Bluffton ' s one. Honors in this game went to the rugged Blue and Gold line. Bluffton ' s total yardage from scrimmage was a minus 22 yards. The statistics showed how hopelessly the plucky Bluffton team was outclassed. Total net yardage: Kent, 634; Bluffton, 37. The Flashes found that Kalamazoo had something other than the gal made famous by the popular song. The Hornets presented one of the toughest lines the Flashes faced all year. A Moore-to-DelVecchio pass accounted for one touchdown and Bob Beachy scored the other on a plunge. Both attempts for the extra point were stopped. j WEET dreams for an undefeated season became tormenting nightmares as Kent ' s sister-university took advantage of two breaks to score two touch- downs. The Flashes gained a total of 456 yards in offense as compared to 124 for the Falcons. The Kent line consistently outcharged and outplayed the Bee-Gees. Johnny Moore completed 19 of 30 passes for 250 yards and a new Kent record. But every time the Bee-Gee 20-yard line was crossed the Flashes ' drive faltered. Fumbleitis and a series of intercepted passes stopped seven Kent scoring threats. The Falcons, unable to gain either through the air or on the ground, scored once when Dick Lowry dashed 70 yards with an intercepted pass and again after a Kent fumble presented them with the ball on the five-yard line.

Ohio Wesleyan £ ALDWIN-WALLACE proved to be another heartbreaker with Kent winding up on the short end of the score but with a big edge in the statistics. Heavily-favored BW was held scoreless in the first half. Then both teams broke out in a scoring rash in a hectic second half, the Bereans scoring just once more than the Flashes. BW ' s third touchdown was a gift by drowsy of- ficials. Postgame pictures unquestionably showed BW clipping on Bob Hecker ' s 44-vard touchdown dash. The Yellow Jackets scored first early in the third quarter and converted to make it 7 to o. The Flashes took the kickoff and marched 72 yards, helped by a brilliant 45-yard dash by Wib Little, to score. Virgil Roman ' s place-kick was blocked, and the Flashes trailed 7 to 6. After BW ' s second score made it 14 to 6, the Flashes went 61 yards to score. iMoore ' s passes sparked the drive, and Neal Nelson contributed the touch- down. Bob Hecker ' s scoring dash made Homecoming Dav a success for Baldwin- Wallace. M AKING a favored Bishop team completely bow down on its home field at Delaware, Kent scored a second-period touchdown, then coasted. Kent piled up 413 yards in net offense while Ohio Wesleyan registered only 188. Eddie Capri was the individual hero. The diminu- tive right half scored on a brilliant, 40-yard dash. Frank Mesek, who did most of the place kicking during the season, made it 7 to o. Also featured was the play of Silent Dan Kratzer. L T ntil this game a fourth-string fullback, Dan was catapaulted into the starting lineup because of injuries. He played 60 minutes of alwavs-dependable, sometimes-brilliant football. The tilt was designated bv student organizations as the Migration Dav wherebv all who could com- mandeer a vehicle would be expected to attend the Wesleyan game. The stadium at Wesleyan filled many Kent hearts with longing.

Akron 6 rj LESSED victory . . . sweet, soothing nectar of the Gridiron Gods. This one — above all else — the Flashes wanted, but badly. Preceded by pregame shenanigans between students of the two arch-rival schools, all the bitter fury of 20-odd years of rivalry culmi- nated when the teams clashed November 15. The game was witnessed by nearly 14,000 fans who jammed the Akron Rubber Bowl to see the fray. Hardly had the fans settled in their seats when Kent marched 65-yards in four plays to score. Tom Kot pitched the pass good for 35 yards and a touchdown. Virgil Roman converted. The Zips came right back before the game was five minutes old and scored on a Frank Wahl-to Finn pass, but the conversion missed fire. Wib Little scored the second touchdown for the Flashes, after setting up the stage with sev- eral brilliant dashes in the second period. The last half was scoreless, with the Flashes playing defensive football and protecting their precious seven point lead. Again the Kent line proved itself to be one of the best in Ohio. Akron gained only 51 yards by rushing. This was the second consecutive win for the Flashes over Akron University after 14 years of victoryless competition with the Hilltoppers before the war. Playing, Jjke ultU Won T)he Wheel Howie Wolfgram, Flash scatback, goes over the top against the Zips. Akron star, Tom Finn, seems to be up- setting Howie ' s applecart. Now the Akron-Kent rivalry has a trophv, a wheel reputedly from Buchtel ' s buggy, displayed here by cheerleaders and majorettes. Resume NDERCLASSMEN starred to win six of eight games, in which the Flashes scored 143 points against 47 for their opponents. They piled up 3,8 52 yards in net offense against the opposition ' s 1,661 yards. Johnny Moore established an all-time Kent passing record with 45 completions in 74 attempts for a total of 644 yards. This record made Moore the nation ' s fourth-best small-college passer, according to NCAA statistics. Frank Mesek, Kent ' s rugged right guard, deserved- ly was made first-string guard on the All Ohio Con- ference Associated Press team. Several times during the season Mesek eliminated two would-be tacklers with a single, well-placed block. Mesek ' s individual play sparked the best Kent line in Golden Flash gridiron historv. The forward wall, led by such stalwarts as Pat DelYecchio, Lou Toth, Jack Britt, Harold Miller, Ralph Garmus, Dick Wolfe, Dwight Follin, Dick Paskert, Frank Klein, George Kovalick, Jack Urchek, Bill Moritz and Roy Snyder, held eight opponents to a total of only 465 yards gained by rushing — an average of less than 60 yards per game. Thirty-one players were awarded letters at the end of the season, and it is an indication of things to come that 30 of these will be back for the 1947 season. For Trevor Rees and his new era coaching staff, the 1946 season was only the beginning. The future looks bright for the Kent State University football teams. Dick Paskert, Tackle|flThomas Kot, Halfback | Francis Hudson, Fullback [ Thomas Wilhelm, Tackle { Harold Miller, Tackle SWISH Vy {_,) HE appointment of Harry Adams as the Uni- versity ' s head basketball coach last May was a step forward along the path to revive Golden Flash sports. Adams, who came to Kent in 1941 following a brilliant athletic career as a star gridder and eager at Cuyahoga Falls high school and later at Muskingum College, augmented his playing career by the suc- cessful handling of Uhrichsville high school sports. During his four-year tenure there, he served as ath- letic director. Adams joined the athletic staff of the University as assistant football and basketball coach. His career with the Golden Flashes was then interruped by a three-year hitch in the Navy. Admirably suited to head Kent court fortunes, Adams has had more than six years of basketball coaching experience. George Wilson tries a left handed push shot. Klaisner shoots one at Case. £x HILE the Golden Flash faithful gloated over a highly successful football season, they cast an ap- prehensive eye at the coming basketball campaign. Countless big-name high school stars had been at- tracted to Kent. Over 150 hopefuls answered Coach Harry Adams ' first Fall practice call. The 1 946-1 947 cage wars began amid reams of publicity which indicated that the team was poten- tially strong but lacked experience as a unit. Adams ' charges opened the season with an impressive 69-42 conquest of the Old Men or University alumni team. Newcomer Dale Haverstock flipped in 18 points to pace the victors. Enthusiasm about the team cooled like the weather on December 3 when the Flash courtmen journeyed to Bowling Green and took a 63-47 pasting from the nationally prominent Bee-Gees. Although defeated, the cagers provided fans at the tilt with a brilliant individual display in the person of freshman center Fred Klaisner who burned the nets for 25 markers and one man honors for the evening. A courageous second half uphill battle at Wooster gave the Adamsmen a 53-48 triumph and a season record at that point of two for three. Only five men broke into the scoring column for the Flashes in this contest. Four of them, Haverstock, Klaisner, Wil- son, and Sudeck garnered eleven counters each while Finn added ten. [2 7 TE Nelson, 19, does some jumping at Case. Leroy Peoples. C HOWING what was perhaps the best form thus far, the Flashes trounced Case 50-23 at the Cleveland Arena. Veteran forward Harry Wilson netted 15 points to lead the winners. Significant feature of the fray was the Flashes ' air-tight defense which limited the Scientists to nine fielders and five free throws. Back in front of the home crowd, the cagers won a listless 42-36 victory over Allegheny College. Leroy Thompson finally got in stride after recovering from a leg injury to lead Adams ' proteges with 1 1 tallies for the third straight win of the season. Xavier University became Kent ' s fourth consecutive victim as they fell before the Flash onslaught 50-37 at Wills gym just before Christmas. AM fcOC HE FLASH quintet played host to ollege Dec. 28, and lost 54-48. Klaisner scored 10 points to again lead the home team, but that was not enough to offset the twin barrage of Don Newkirk and Elkin Isaac, who meshed 15 each for the winners. Coach Adams ' boys started the New Year off wrong by losing to Youngstown College Jan. 1. They were defeated 66-57 by a team which was tough on its home floor. Back in the familiar surroundings of Wills Gym two nights later, the Golden Flashes scored a 65-38 win over the Crile Hospital team. Bill Sudeck paced the onslaught with 1 3 points, as 1 2 squad members contributed to the scoring. The Crile victory marked the seventh win of the season for the Golden Flashes, as they prepared to take on their traditional foe, the University of Akron. Stopping Fritz Nagy, Akron ' s All-American for- ward, was the assignment of guard Dale Haverstock. He succeeded admirably, holding Nagy to three field goals, but other departments of the Flashes ' play bog- ged down, and Akron won the tilt at Goodyear gym 44-32. - Top row (1. to r.): Klaisner (44), Anderson (46) and Thompson (51) battle for ball in Crile game. 2.

EEKING revenge for an earlier defeat, the Flashes met Youngstown College and squeezed out a 50-49 decision over the invaders. Haverstock netted the game-winning goal with exactly four seconds of playing time remaining. It took a 16-point second-half bombardment by brilliant Bill Herman of Mt. Union to defeat the Kent basketeers in their next outing. Mount triumphed 46-41, with Herman scoring 20 of the points. Next on the season ' s program for the Flashes was Muskingum College, Coach Adams ' alma mater. The Adamsmen traveled to New Concord to oppose the high-flying Muskies, who were at that time one of the leaders in the Ohio conference. KSU hoopsters played one of their best ball games of the year but suffered a 59-57 set-back. Klaisner and Thompson led the Flashes with 18 and 16 tallies respectively. On January 21, the Golden Flashes played host to the Yellow Jackets of Baldwin-Wallace College. The home team led 45-42 at the end of the third quarter but faltered badly in the stretch to lose, 61-50. Klais- ner registered 22 points to dominate KSU ' s offense. B-W defeated Akron a few nights later. On the road again, this time traveling to Crile hos- pital in Brecksville, Adams ' proteges regained the win column with a 55-46 conquest of the hospital five. Western Reserve ' s Red Cats became the ninth vic- tim of KSU ' s improving five, 44-42, in a thrill-packed encounter in Wills Gym. Reserve ' s closing rally fell short of overtaking the stalling Flashes. The home club instituted a tight zone defense which succeeded in limiting the Cats ' chief threat, high-scoring Hank Lefkowitz, to five points.

This time the site of the frav was Wills Gym but the outcome was the same, the Zips winning in a romp, 7 2 49- The long-awaited Flash offensive display arrived in KSU ' s second encounter with hapless Case. In re- cording an 87-41 triumph, Coach Adams ' charges came within one point of tying the school scoring record for one game. Utilizing a fast break and a tight defense, the Flashes next gained sweet revenge for a previous Mount Union beating, overcoming a seven-point half time deficit to win out 59-54. Guard Benson negotiated 14 points in sparking the victory. Continuing their winning ways, the Flashes sent the Wooster Scots home with nothing to show but a 61-53 loss for their effort in Kent. KSU ' s Flashes won their 1 3th game of the season, defeating John Carroll 52-46 in their last home ap- pearance. On the road at Ashland Coach Adams ' cagers met disaster at the hands of a speedy and ag- gressive Ashland College quintet, losing 62-61. The courtmen from Kent came close to pulling a big upset over Baldwin-Wallace in the next game. Holding a one point lead over the Jackets midway in the final period, KSU faltered and was edged by the Cleveland team 53-51. In the season finale in Cleveland against John Car- roll, the University encountered a red-hot team and suffered a humiliating 64-23 setback. In their first full post-war year of basketball, the Golden Flashes finished with 1 3 wins and 1 1 losses. 131 Upper left: H.

In their first meet, on Jan. 17, the Golden Flash fish fell to Ohio U., 49-19. They bounced back to defeat Muskingham 53-22, Jan. 22. Meeting a veteran Fenn squad in Cleveland, they lost 45-30 on Jan. 24. At this meet, Coach Stevens felt they had made an impressive showing against a tough opponent.

Founded by a group of campus leaders to pro- mote University athletics and foster school spirit, the Booster Club was responsible for a special cheering section at varsity games. Officers elected to guide the Booster Club in its first year were: Mickey Dover, president; Roy Newsome, vice-president; Jessie West, sec- retary; and Bob White, treasurer. The B.C. plans next fall to sponsor a Migra- tion Day, pep assemblies and team send-offs, transportation to football games away from home, special Booster Club rooting sections and various social functions.

' 34 UGH ' WO SQUARE strips of mat, enclosed in a cage- like affair, in the far end of the locker room has be- come known as Begala Beach, and rightly so. Czar of the Beach, Coach Joe Begala, has com- piled an amazing record in the 16 years that he has been at the helm. His wrestling teams have become feared throughout the nation. The Begalamen reached their greatest heights in the campaign of 1938, ' 39, and ' 40 when they were rated the fifth top team in the country. Weepin ' Joe, who captained Thor Olson ' s great Ohio U. teams in 1928 and ' 29, is still in top wrestling condition, and practically any night he may be found giving one of his boys a vigorous workout. Perhaps there is something to his philosophy of we ' ll meet any team, anyplace, anytime, and re- gardless of win, lose or draw, we ' ll have fun doing it. His teams ' record of 108 wins in 128 meets proves the success of his strategy. Joe Begala Front row: (1. to r.) J. Milkovich, Botts, Wilson, Gatts, Incorvia, M. Milkovich, Bader, Glass.

They Fell Hard IG TIME wrestling returned to Wills Gym after a four-year layoff, and the Begalamen came back as rough and tough as ever. Some forty grapplers reported to Coach Joe Beg- ala ' s first practice session December i, and, by the time of the Frosh-Varsity meet, the squad had dwin- dled down to 30 men, most of whom had won letters in either college or high school. By the time of the first meet with Waynesburg College of Pennsylvania, the Flashes were a well- molded and experienced team, deep in every position except the heavyweight class. Ironically enough it was a heavyweight, Bob Lei- man, who scored a pin in the Waynesburg duel when the chips were down. With one match remaining and KSU five points behind, Leiman pinned his opponent to give the Flashes the needed counters for a deadlock. The 16-16 draw was the first time the Begalamen had been tied in 16 years. Using six new faces, the Staters shut out previously unbeaten Case, 30-0, in their next meet for the first victory of the season. Don Bentley, Ralph Wilson, Robert Gatts, Ed iMaro, Ken Leiman and Ray Bickler saw action for the first time against the Scientists.

Jack Botts, 128 pounder, and acting-Captain Joe Incorvaia, in the 145 pound division, continued their winning ways by pinning their opponents. Faced with their stiffest assignment of the season, the Flashes defeated the powerful Syracuse team 19-9, in reaching their pre-war prominence as a mat power. Syracuse, previously unbeaten in three starts, had defeated Penn State and Cornell, both nationally known. Coach Begala used his first team sparingly in romp- ing to an easy 30-0 shutout over Findlay college. Performing before a large crowd in their home finale, the Staters swept every bout, three by pins, in notch- ing their fifth straight victory. Ike Leaver, Joe Incor- vaia and Ed iYIaro all won five pointers for the Blue and Gold. The wrestlers revenged an early season tie in drop- ping Waynesburg from the undefeated class, 19-11. An easy 26-6 decision over Findlay in a return en- gagement gave Coach Begala his third undefeated wrestling team, and the university its fifth undefeated athletic team.

' 39 Men ' s Intramurals Interest in men ' s intramural sports during the year jumped from the seven teams entered in summer softball play to 5 1 teams playing in winter cage com- petition. Softball honors during the first summer session went to Delta Phi Sigma, Kappa Sigma Chi, and Windham who tied for first place. Windham re- mained a power in the league by winning the softball title for the second summer session. In the fall, Victor iVIoore joined the HPE staff and became new intramural director. He has had to cope with many problems, such as weather and accommo- dating in the gym the large number of teams desiring to participate in the various programs. Three independent leagues and a fraternity league saw action during the football season. Kappa Sigma Chi clinched first place in the fraternity league while the Salemites won the independent title.

Alpha Phi Beta, Kappa Sigma Chi and Delta Phi Sigma trailed the fraternitv champs. The Tappa Nu Kegs took second place among the independent teams. Eight independent leagues and the fraternity circuit were battling on the basketball courts during Jan- uary, seeking the all-university cage championship. Leading the fraternitv basketball league were Delta Phi Sigma and Kappa Mu Kappa with Kappa Sigma Chi hot on their heels. Among the independents, Windham, Residence, Night Hawks, O.M.S., Canterburv Club, and Ella Mae hoopsters boasted excellent records. Defending its lead in the I-M cup race was Delta Phi Sigma. This cup is awarded in June by the HPE department. A similar cup will go to the independent team gaining the most points in intramural competi- tion.

In addition to the physical education classes, in which women play tennis, golf, basketball, and other games, the Women ' s Atheltic Association sponsors several sports tournaments every quarter. Participation in intramural sports provides chances to win the WAA intramural cup, and sorority, dor- mitory and off-campus team competition becomes keen when the co-eds vie for tourney titles and tro- phies. During the Fall Quarter, Theta Sigma Tau sorority soccer team won the 1946-47 tournament champion- ship and cup. Moulton hall whipped the Theta Sigs to become the volleyball tournament champion and carry away that trophy. The shiny bowling-ball participation trophy went to Beta Gamma sorority for having the greatest num- ber of girls out on the alleys in competition Individual bowling, badminton, tennis, table tennis, and archery tournament champions were awarded sterling silver bracelets. Weekly meetings of the swimming and dance clubs found the girls splashing and learning the art of graceful movement. Gro Bagn bids for a strike. 142 ATHLETICS Miss Becky Seidel, basketball and swimming in- structor, gave helpful tips to hoop tourney entrants and supervised the activities of the Sharks Swimming Club, managed by Bernice Looney, while .Miss Eleanor A ' lellert was advisor to the Modern Dance Club, where members were encouraged to improvise their own steps. Betty Vey was manager of the group. Taking the advice given early in the year by Dr. A. O. DeWeese, many women decided to get out in the fresh air when they exercise instead of staving in the gymnasium. They discovered the thrills and chills of tobogganing down the snow-covered campus hills during the Winter Quarter. Physical education majors and minors in the Col- lege of Education gave their special attention to the Women ' s Athletic Association ' s annual Play Day in the Spring. Over 350 high school girls from north- eastern Ohio attended the affair eager for a day of fun. The HPE students, who plan to teach sports, instructed the young girls in relay races, dodgeball, softball, volleyball, stunts and tumbling, swimming, and table tennis. While helping the visitors enjoy their day, the students gained much practical exper- ience. Shirks ' Peterman plavs Robin Hoed. 143 W A A Seated: L. Wright, C. Adametz, M. Harsha, M. Robinson, B.

Determined not to refuse any GI an education because of lack of a room, Kent State last year began measures to uncover every spare room in Kent, and to provide temporary housing from government surplus buildings. This year, the Maple Grove Community Project became predominantly an answer to the married veter- an ' s housing problem. Single men found temporary quarters in the barracks at Kent and Windham. The Bed-for-a-Vet campaign, conducted by students, enjoyed notable success. Pictured above are Bob Wentz and Jim Bullock in one of the publicity highlights of the drive. 146 Year HAT became even more pressing to Americans during the past year was the bitter fight over the war- time Office of Price Administration. The above picture shows a demonstration by a group in Chicago demand- ing that OPA be retained. This fierce controversy drew drastic comment from many sides and split party lines wide open. Some claimed the bureau hindered normal peacetime production, but the administration deemed it necessary to stabilize jittery economy. A Congress led by Taft of Ohio and Wherry of Nebraska passed a bill crippling OPA ' s sweeping war pow- ers. Urged on by overwhelming public support, the President vetoed the bill. Congress then passed another, which he signed. President Truman declared the end of the Second World War the first of this year. This act automatically cancelled the once-powerful bureau and other emergency measures granted the wartime president, Franklin D. Roosevelt. i47 Henry Johnston, President C } OON to take their places in the world, members of the Senior class were saddened by the thought of leaving the portals of Kent State University and bid- ding adieu to friends and teachers. As freshmen this class was the smallest in the history of the Univer- sity, but after struggling through the war years, they were joined by many returning men and women whose college life had been temporarily interrupted. When the time came for departure, the seniors had developed into an outstanding group of which the University could be proud. Officers of the class for this final year were: Hank Johnston, president; Barbara McDowell, vice-presi- dent; Agnes Sawyer, secretary; and Yvonne Lewand- owski, treasurer. As befitted their position, many members of the class were campus leaders, otherwise known as BlMOC ' s. Selected for Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities were Johnston, Miss Mc- Dowell, Miss Sawyer, Roy Apple, Mike Friedland, Bob Kenyon, Kay Tolt, Beryl Knox, Evelyn Long, Bill Lyon, Edith Galloway, John Jack, Claude Miller, George Inscho, Matt Fenn, Al Geitgey, and Clarence Tonka.

With many old acquaintances back in time for graduation, the class of 1946 felt the jubilant air of a new campus spirit. Dr. T. V. Smith, professor of philosophy at the University of Chicago, spoke on Education and International Relations at the commencement exercises held in June. The seniors who marched into the auditorium to receive degrees numbered 113. Graduating from the College of Education were eighty-three future teachers. Next in number was the College of Liberal Arts with thirty-two seniors. The seniors start up the steps to the Administration build- ins; on the last leg of their journey through Kent. The grand finale has finally arrived. With diploma in hand, they are now ready to step into the world. Filing out of McGilvrey Hall in cap and gown during the graduation exercises. Graduation incurs another line but this is the last one at Kent. .58 CAMPUS WX LUNCHES o NE of the three necessities of life — food — was a difficult item to obtain at Kent this year. The trouble was not so much a shortage of food but was due to the fact that the local restaurants could not get the help to serve it. The large influx of students over- loaded the facilities of the more popular eating places. And as prices climbed skyward, many students be- gan preparing their own lunches. In October a new cafeteria was opened to the public in Lowry Hall and helped to alleviate the sit- uation. Construction of a new cafeteria was started early in the Winter Quarter. To satisfy the chow hounds of Kent, box lunches were sold near the campus. The crowded conditions and long lines made this way of getting a quick lunch very popular, especially during nice weather. For commuters who were wise and brought their own lunches, an eating place was established in the lower part of Moulton Hall. 159 cA, Robert Casey, President SIDE from time spent in the Captain Brady over cokes , the Class of ' 48 devoted itself to activity in all phases of university life. The class was led by Bob Casey, president; Bob Durivage, vice-president; Jean Goncher, secretary; and Jim Bullock, treasurer. Student Council members were Dona Mae Burk- hardt, Jean Goncher, and Tillie Davis. Blue Key, national service honorary, pledged Robert Heigh- berger, Randy Newhouse, Bob Smiley, Paul Yam- okoski, and Bill Sullivan, while Cardinal Key, its sister organization, pledged Tillie Davis, Joy Brand, Colleen Brand, Jeanne Cook, Felice Faust, Jacqueline Shafer, Alary Sisler, and Phoebe Steiner. No Time For Classes, the traditional musical com- edy, was under the capable direction of co-producers Jim Bullock and Bob White. Audrie Fornshell re- ceived a scholarship to attend Mexico City College under the exchange plan originated by Ohio State. Mickey Dover promoted a University Booster Club and served as its first president.

All combined, this makes life for a coed busy and interesting. The register is a necessary nuisance in the life of a coed. But it is better to remember to sign than to suffer the con- sequence. All shined up and signed out, a couple of twosomes take off for an evening ' s entertainment. The gals still love to see the men beat a path to the dormitory doors. LTHOUGH faced with unprecedented com- petition as enrollment soared, members of the Sopho- more Class this year took the lead in many campus activities. Bob Stevenson, University Theater and NTFC star last year, captured the class presidency. Other officers were Mary Jones, vice-president; Virginia Block, secretary; and Bob Farnsworth, treasurer. Serving on Student Council were Tom Davey, iMiss Block, Bob Duncan, Hope Greener, and Stuart Brown. Frank Vendely served two terms as business mana- ger of the Kent Stater, and Don Warman was mana- ging editor. On the Duchess staff were Editor Al Weekley, Associate Editor Hope Greener, and Feature Editors Eleanor Tomasik and Eleanor Kolk. Bob Wentz and John (Mickey) Finn edited the Canton Kent Stater, while Betty Cibula was active in Radio Workshop and University Theater. One of the Blue Star political party co-chairmen was Roy Newsome, who also handled publicity for No Time For Classes.

The 2500 eager newcomers found the University ready to serve them in every way, but the staggering enroll- ment presented many grave problems to the adminis- tration. Long lines were inevitable the first week, as the Frosh were advised and registered. Swift revision of class schedules was necessary to accommodate them. Class officers were Phil Dempsey, president; Joan Huffman, vice-president; Beverly Lewis, secretary; and John King, treasurer. Bill Shuttleworth, Phyllis Ferguson, Marj Parmalee and Bob Chambers were named to Student Council in the December elections. The University ' s sports program was moulded around the first-year students. The all-Freshman swimming team was paced by Don Wilson, 100 and 220-yd. dash man. Fred Klaisner broke the University scoring record while leading a basketball squad which was composed of eleven Freshmen out of eighteen members. Star of the successful grid machine was Frank Mesek, who was chosen x ll-Ohio Conference guard.

ARKING the twelfth year of its existence at Kent State this year, the Department of Traffic reg- ulations maintained an enviable record in handling about 1600 cars a day. Dale Rowe, traffic director, assisted by traffic of- ficers Ed Bates and Jack Britt, found that there is still a touch of the pre-war jalopy on campus. Such cars as the Durant, A4arquette, Hupmobile and the Essex were listed among the registered cars. After completing their most recent set of statistical data, traffic department officers discovered the fol- lowing: Eighty-two per cent of all registered drivers receive no warning tickets; men drivers were less de- linquent parkers than women; there are twelve men drivers to one woman driver. Duties of traffic department members include not only placing tickets on offending cars or cautioning drivers to slow down, but also a variety of corres- pondence, publicity, statistical and sleuthing work. - 182 £ook 4 Campus Life fflfflfflfflfflfflfflfflfflfflffl In This Proposed Union (Building, NNOUNCE.MEXT of plans for a Student Center in accordance with Kent State ' s post-war growth were made this year. The spacious building pictured above will be located behind the Heating Plant and close to Engleman Hall. Only the approval of the state legislature at Columbus is needed before construction can begin. The three-story structure will house the University Book Store, locker rooms and meeting rooms for cam- pus organizations. Plenty of lounges and recreation space will be provided. Plans to include a student theater and a diningroom have been made. A coke bar and lunchroom, equipped to serve light meals, will be located in the Center. The plan of the administration in building the Student Center is to give students a college hangout on campus, where every facility for recreation will be made available. In future vears, this building will be a center, in more than name, of Kent State activities. 184 Year JVurenberg, UriaU M URENBERG, Germany, a centuries-old town of Gothic cathedrals and medieval rooftopspKeld the at- tention of all thinking people during this crucial period. There, after ten months of a trial in which a new basic conception of international affairs was evolved, twelve leaders of the Nazi regime which led the world into the Second World War, were condemned In- humanity to death. Fifteen days after a combined American, British and Russian tribunal reached its tremendouslv significant verdict, these men, who were the despots of Europe, would-be lords of the earth, walked to a prison-yard gallows. The military court ' s justice never reached the paranoiac who was the arch-criminal of the all. Adolf Hitler had died a year before, apparently a suicide, in the wreckage of his Third Reich.

Cook £, ASIC instrument of student government at Kent State, the Student Council is by far the most important student organization on campus, having charge of elections, directing the Student Government Association, of which all students are members, and guiding every group functioning on cam- pus. Under the energetic leadership of President Hank Johns- ton, and Vice-President Dona Mae Burkhardt, Council was extremely active during the past year, with two of its com- mittees, Social Committee and Allocations, the centers of controversy more than once. Allocations distributes student activity funds among various school organizations; the Social Committee authors rules by which all university dances are governed. Barbara McDowell was secretary and George Inscho treas- urer. Members were Evelyn Long, Edith Galloway, Bill Lyon, Roy Apple, Jeanne Cook, Betty Hoy, John Fouser, Jean Goncher, Bob Duncan, Virginia Block, Tom Davey, Tillie Davis, Bill Shuttleworth, Phil Ferguson, Marj Parmalee and Bob Chambers. Four members are elected from each class annually. Meet- ings are held weekly.

Blue Key (J j LUE KEY, men ' s honorary service fraternity, is, like its sister organization, Cardinal Key, a national group whose membership is invitational, hence small, and based on activities, character and scholarship. In line with its purpose of serving the University, Blue Key sponsors a worthwhile campus project each quarter, and, with Cardinal Key, has charge of Cam- pus Night and Penny Carnival. A typical service is the printing and sale, at no profit, of programs at home basketball games. Officers for the past year have been George Inscho, president, Claude Miller, vice-president, John Thom- as, secretary and Jim Hewitt, treasurer. Dean of JMen Raymond E.

Bowman states that permission to go national may be given fraternities after the end of this year. The University ' s seventh fraternity. Alpha Epsilon, was accepted by the Council early this year, and was formally organized immediately afterward. Inter-Fraternity Council decided this year to re- quire a one-dollar fee from each new Greek pledge, to be used toward an Inter-Fraternity House. It was also decided to permit non-fraternity men to live in fraternity houses temporarily because of the acute room shortage.

O STUDENTS unaffiliated with a fra- ternity or sorority, the Independent Students Assoc- iation is available to provide many functions similar to those of Greek organizations. As its first activity in the Fall Quarter it sponsored the ISA Mixer dance. Newly reorganized shortly after the end of the war, the Association maintains a voice in campus pol- itics, running its own candidates for student offices. A survey conducted by the Independents on the question, Do you think a daily newspaper is impera- tive to the betterment of Kent State University? produced results overwhelmingly favorable to the debated question of a daily Kent Stater, and revealed that most University students are keenly interested in the progress of the University as presented by the Stater. George Heaslip headed the organization this year, while Miriam Pugh was vice-president, Marion Lemp- onen was secretary and Ruth Klein was treasurer. Margaret Prentiss was social chairman and Eleanor Meek handled publicity.

Selection of the Union ' s members is through annual election. The group sponsors, in conjunction with its sister organization, Women ' s League, the annual all-student stunt night and variety show, Pork Barrel. It awards annually the (Manchester Cup to the Uni- versity man it considers the most notable in several fields — scholarship, atheltic ability, artistic or musical proficiency, character, versatility and popularity. The awarding of the Cup, named for the Univer- sity ' s veteran Dean of Men, Raymond E. Manchester, the Union ' s advisor, is the group ' s most important function. The ideals which Dean Manchester has always sponsored — integrity, scholarship, character, versatil- ity — are those which the organization aims to en- courage. Roy Apple was president this year. Vice-president was Bob Kenyon, with Jerry Stevenson as secretary and Bill Moritz treasurer. Roy Apple, president 4 Seated: A. Sawyer, J. Grant, J. Goncher, I. Schnauffcr, V. Block, E. Guise.

Headed by Edith Galloway as president, the group ' s officers this year were Jean Goncher, first vice-pres- ident; Donna Mae Burkhardt, second vice-president; Betty Faulds, secretary; and Evelyn Long, treasurer. The Big-Little Sister Tea, at which upper-class women are introduced to incoming freshmen whom they will assist and guide during their fi rst year at college, and the Senior Women ' s banquet were planned and carried out by the League during the past year. Women ' s League also co-sponsors, with its companion organization, Men ' s Lmion, the New Year ' s Ball and Pork Barrel. This year, style show demonstrations by make-up experts were presented, and guest speakers were brought to Kent State University by the League, which also operates the Moulton Hall Music Room. The Big-Little Sister tea was one of the main events sponsored by the league this year. EPRESENTING fraternities, sororities and re- ligious organizations at Kent State is the Inter-Relig- ious Council, whose aim is to foster and increase the influence of religion on campus. The group sponsors Convocation Night each Sep- tember to introduce freshmen and new students to the ministers and churches of Kent. During the past year, it was responsible for three assemblies, at which a Catholic missionary, a Jewish rabbi and a Protestant minister spoke. Perry Saito, Japanese-American, and his wife, a singer, gave a lecture-recital in October under the auspices of the Council. This year the officers were Bob White, president; Joe Sarmir, vice-president; Edith Galloway, secretary; and Rebecca Taylor, treasurer.

NTERNATIONAL relations and problems, one of the present day ' s most pressing factors, and one of great signif- icance to the future, is the special interest of the International Relations Club. Meeting twice monthly at the University, the club, numbering 2 5 members this year, features guest speak- ers, who are well acquainted with international prob- lems, and reports and discussions by members. The club goes each year to the Tri-State Inter- national Relations Convention, sponsored by college rnational Relations students of Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky. A special file of books and periodicals is kept in the University library for use of members in investigating world problems.

ECAUSE OF the war, the Kent State branch of the international Young Men ' s Christian Association was inactive for several years. Reactivation, although it began in 1945 with the influx of veterans to the campus, was completed during the last year. A membership drive last Fall gained the organization many new members. Sometimes meeting jointly with its sister group, the Young Women ' s Christian Association, the YMCA shared many of its activities with the YWCA. The group also participated in intramural athletics. Parties and picnics were held regularly in line with the organization ' s purpose — the providing of Christian fellowship and recreation. The first officers after the post-war reorganization was completed have held office during the past year. Bob White was president, Jim Rinier, vice-president, Chuck Lehman, secretary, Norman Rael, treasurer and Charles Stuart, chaplain. Prof. Alvin Miller and Dean Raymond E. Manchester are faculty advisors. Standing: Norman Rael, treasurer, Charles Lehman, secre- tary. Sitting: Jim Rinier, vice-president; Bob White, president; Charles Stewart, chaplain. 228 First row: D.

LJ H E Young Women ' s Christian Association, com- panion organization to the YMCA, is an important part of student life and welfare on every college cam- pus in America. The Kent branch, like all the others, seeks to promote good will and fellowship among the women students on campus, and to draw them closer together.

TUDENT Service Association, composed of rep- resentatives from every organization on campus, handled the March of Dimes and Community Chest ' s annual campaigns in the University. The purpose of the organization is to assist worthwhile charity pro- jects pertaining not only to the University, but to much of the world. This year, the World Student Service Fund drive, which provided school books and materials to pov- erty-ridden European students, was conducted by the Association, with George Hoy and Jeanne Cook co-chairmen. The yearly March of Dimes drive for the treatment and care of infantile paralysis victims was under Marge Scullion ' s charge. Officers during the past year have been Bob White, president; Betty Hess, secretary; and George Hoy, treasurer. 23 1 RGANIZED to regulate distribution of student fee funds among the various University activities which depend on them, the Allocations Committee is one of the most important branches of student gov- ernment at Kent State. One representative from each of the seventeen student activity groups sits on the Committee, which draws up a plan of fund distribution each quarter. Approval of the allocation rests with Student Coun- cil. The group ' s work — always a tough job — has re- cently been a storm-center of debate. George Inscho has been chairman during the past year, with Evelyn Long as secretary. Faculty advisors are Dr. Donald Anthony, Dr. C. Stanley Corey, Comptroller Paul Beck and Dr. Ken- neth Kelley.

Kelly, ' 33. To promote closer cooperation between the parent group and individual city and council alumni clubs, nine active Association members were chosen to form a special district council, responsible for this year ' s successful membership campaign. AlumnilAssociation Major project of the Association is publication of a bi-monthly bulletin of University and Alumni news which keeps graduates informed of campus events and activities of former classmates. Dances and dinners highlighted county Alumni Clubs ' social activities, with the annual banquet bring- ing the entire Alumni Association membership to- gether for the traditional Spring meeting. Officers for the coming year were chosen at that time. 2 3 2 Alpha Epsilon First row: Martin Leiman, Mr. Bernard Mikofsky, Advisor, Julian Y. Kofsky. Second row: Bernard D.

Ki ENT STATE ' S seventh fraternity was organized in the Fall Quarter as the result of a loose plan which originated among a handful of veterans who met cas- ually on campus and in the Brady during the Summer. By the beginning of the Fall Quarter, twenty-four men had joined the group. Thev applied to Inter- Fraternity Council for recognition, and were de- clared a local social fraternity late in the quarter. Dr. William G. Meinke and Assistant Professor Bernard Mikofsky accepted invitations to act as fac- ulty advisors, and officers were chosen. Philip Brus- tein has been president, Alfred Rubin recording sec- retary, Wolfgang Ernst Translateur corresponding secretary, and Edward Weissfeld treasurer. First step in Alpha Epsilon ' s plan for the future is the purchase of a fraternity house. 233 The Chestnut , FTER lectures are prepared and examination papers graded, members of the faculty often turn to private research projects which have brought praise of the community and national recognition in technical and professional journals. As a member of the Portage County Youth Commission, Dr. Marion Van Campen, head of the Department of Ele- mentary Education, planned and directed a conference on teen-age problems for high school students. Completing her ninth year on the KSU faculty, Dr. Van Campen also aided recent University graduates in the teaching field through a series of special meetings to solve their particular problems. Outstanding in the field of library science is John B. Nicholson, Jr., Kent State librarian, who has made detailed studies on the use of microfilm in libraries, and similar con- structive topics. In an effort to acquaint the faculty with this year ' s reorganized staff and circulation methods at Rockwell Library, an invitational reception and lecture by a nationally- famous librarian were sponsored. Dewey F. Barich returned last year from service in the Navy to devote his time to aiding and advising veterans dur- ing their college careers. He frequently spoke before area civic groups in an effort to clarify public misconceptions about work of veteran-students. Prof. Barich, head of the Department of Industrial Arts, also found time to practice and speak on his hobby of silversmithing, an art of which he has a practical experience and historical knowledge. Faced with the overwhelming job of enlarging his depart- ment to meet this year ' s sudden tripling enrollment was Chester E. Satterfield, head of the Department of English. With the majority of new students enrolled as freshmen, Prof. Satterfield devoted his time to finding able teachers and revising elementary courses to insure a thorough, prac- tical basis in English literature and grammar, designed to aid students in every-day experience. Interpretation and arrangement of early musical scores have occupied the attention of Caro M. Carapetyan, associate professor of music and director of the A Cappella and Ma- drigal Choirs. Many of these sixteenth century compositions have been given premiere performances in the United States this year by the eighty-voice choir Prof. Carapetyan has trained. The group sang both ancient and modern music in concert and on radio broadcasts. Burr Plaudits C TUDENTS, too, are often found working successfully in their chosen fields after school hours, while still enrolled at the University. Typical of these are five: Robert E. Hoyt, junior in liberal arts, majoring in journal- ism, has worked for more than a year on the copy-desk of the Akron Beacon-Journal, and has performed the duties of sports-writer, feature-writer, reporter, correspondent and almost every other job in the newspaper field on dailies in Springfield and his home town, Bellefontaine. He has been editor of the Kent Stater since February, and is active in Chi Pi, men ' s honorary journalism fraternity. Hoyt is 2 . Bernice Looney, 20, who was born in Detroit and resides in Warren, is holder of several titles in swimming, including that of swimming champion of Canada, and has been an Ail- American title winner for five years. A major in physical education, she expects to coach swimming professionally. Miss Looney is practising now with the intent of winning a position on the American team which will compete in the Olympic Games at London next year. During the war, she enlarged her already wide reputation by captaining the Firestone Club swimming team of Akron. Peter Haikalis of Akron recently resumed a career in com- mercial art interruped by Army service. Haikalis was, be- fore his service years, a commercial artist for Yeager ' s de- partment store in Akron, and works now in O ' Neil ' s adver- tising department. A sophomore, Haikalis, who is 28, is en- rolled in a special art course. Margaret Brown, senior, is a pre-medical student bound for Women ' s Medical College of Philadelphia. After classes here, she works as a laboratory technician, specializing in blood tests, at St. Thomas Hospital in Akron. Miss Brown was a WAVE during the war, and while in service won a Yeoman ' s rating. She is 22 and a resident of Akron. Although Milan Jaksic is enrolled in the college of business administration, majoring in industrial management, he has always worked in geography, and was employed by the Of- fice of Strategic Services for two years, making topographical terrain models of war theaters. Models on which Jaksic worked were used by every American commanding general and at the Pearl Harbor investigations of last year. Jaksic, who is 27, is from Cleveland. Jim Bullock Robert White ENT STATE University ' s traditional produc- tion No Time For Classes hit the boards in March, this time with Jim Bullock and Bob White co-pro- ducing the successful all-student musical comedy. Leads were played by Ed Halas, Shirley Marks, Marion Lemponen and Jack Bernhardt. Bob Mc- Donald, Eileen McGinlev, Bob Stevenson, Bob Smiley and Janet Gillespie appeared in the show for the sec- ond year. A new set technique and beautiful lighting effects added to the performances. Stan Mine and Bob Wentz, popular Stater dirt columnists, became capsule producers with their various Hellzapoppin ' stunts. Wilbur Adams was stage manager, Alice Hudson art director, and Roy Newsome handled publicity. Ed Halas, Shirley Marks Boh Went ., Stan Mine. Helen Mitrovka. Felice Faust, Charles Stoner.

One of the first veterans to enroll here under the GI bill of rights, and one of the founders of the Uni- versity Veterans Association, Fletch was a swing- band drummer, appearing with several combinations in Akron and Canton before the war. He has con- tinued his band activities despite the loss of his right arm in the African campaign. Fletch is 31, single, and a major in personnel management in the college of business administration. He was one of the first men to pledge Phi Beta Phi fraternity after its post-war reorganization and is presently active in the group. WIMMING champion Bernice Looney of War- ren combines a smooth personality which gained her the Most Popular title with a smooth swimming stroke which has brought her innumerable swimming honors. The twenty-year-old junior in the College of Edu- cation has acquired twenty-one trophies and 120 medals, in the past nine years. She holds a national AAU championship and the Canadian swimming title. Miss Looney has been swimming with the Firestone squad for the past five years, and became captain of the squad three years ago. She has been encouraged and coached by her aunt. May Looney, a former world champion swimmer. This year she managed the Sharks Club, a University swimming organization.

AN UNUSUAL blue and white color scheme and a Top of the World decoration motif provided the backdrop for this year ' s Top Hop, held in Wills Gym February 7. Bob Chester and his nationally known orchestra provided the music. Marcye Huston Armington, elected Miss Kent State the day before the dance, became the first mar- ried coed to hold the title. She was presented at the dance and escorted to her throne by a court of nine 246 attendants who represented every sorority and dor- mitory on campus. An estimated 800 couples in semi-formal attire danced from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Many of these were alumni, returning to their alma mater for the big night. Agnes Sawyer and Grayce Mays were in charge of arrangements for the dance. Angeline Zima, Jack Loney, Dick Pope and Jean Faldessy of the Art Club created the striking decoration scheme. H7 in UEEN OF the first post-war Pigskin Prom, Miss Nancy Heikes, 1 8, of Rittman, Ohio was a freshman in the College of Business Administration. She was nominated by varsity halfback Robert Beachy and was selected from a field of five candidates by the Golden Flashes. The brown-eyed brunette was presented at the Pigskin Prom, the annual dance which honors mem- bers of Kent State ' s football squad. Miss Heikes was escorted to the throne during intermission through a cordon of Lowry Hall girls, and presented with bou- quets of white and yellow chrysanthemums by the Golden Flashes and her sorority. Music for the dance, which was held in Wills Gym- nasium on December 7, was by Patsy Pace ' s Orches- tra. Miss Heikes, an Alpha Omega sorority pledge at the time, has since become an active member of that group. Social chairman Bill Lyon presents Prom Queen Nancy Heikes 248 u Mi ' EMBERS OF the University Theatre and their friends danced before a background of kleig lights and stage props at their traditional formal dance, held February 22 in Moulton Hall Music Room. Six pledges of Alpha Psi Omega, national dramatics honorary, arranged the novel decorations and were presented at the affair. They were Jim Bullock, Bob Smiley, Mrs. Dorothy Wolfe Luck, Nick Bozeka, Terry Pugliese and Alan Hammack. Patsy Pace and his orchestra provided music for the dancers.

The funds will be used to aid plans for European college students to study here. Kappa Sigma Chi fraternity and Pi Kappa Sigma sorority took top honors with their photograph and fortune-telling concessions. Other booths featured such entertainment as Valentine telegrams, games of chance, duck ringing and throwing baseballs at a human target. Dclts Jack James and Matt Bradley cross the finish line, victorious. HIRTY oarsmen representing all Greeks and some independent groups rowed down the Cuyahoga River from Standing Rock to the Main Street Bridge on a sunny May afternoon last year, for the first Row Boat Regatta since the war. The Kent Stater reactivated the traditional event, in which Alpha Omega sorority and Delta Phi Sigma fraternity won top honors. A feature of the Regatta was the dark horse entry of Stan Mine and Bob Wentz, Stater gossip columnist, daring an old bathtub. The carefree pair won a tremendous ovation from the onlookers, but, according to observers, seem not to have figured in the finish. 2 54 • N MAY Campus Night festivities reached their pre-war standard with the traditional painting of the K, parade, and songfest. Sigma Delta Sigma sorority carried off all prin- cipal honors. Dixie Grundy, a Sigma Delt, was se- lected May Queen, and Marge Dornbusch was one of her attendants. Ruth Hoehn was chosen K-girl by Kappa Mu Kappa fraternity. The sorority won top honors for its float in the Campus Night parade, and its singing of Stairway to the Stars was good for the song-fest award. Kappa Mu Kappa ' s rendition of Finlandia won the fraternity songfest, while Kappa Sigma Chi ' s no- room-for-students float won the male parade contest, with Gamma Tau Delta second. Theta Sigma Tau ' s float was awarded honorable mention, with its Yelma Scott an attendant to Miss Grundy. Alpha Omega and Kappa Sigma Chi were runners-up in the song contest.
