Men still approach the realization of ultimate truth through a process of following and leading — the students following the teachers, who in their turn are led by the philosophers — ■ each in his way moving toward a common goal. With world culture in a confused state, the student seeker in the United States finds himself in the unique position of having at his disposal hundreds of the finest educational institutions in the world. These colleges and universities in their physi- cal aspects alone, however, do not disclose the secret of this reality for which he searches, or dictate its fulfillment. To find this is an individual process which draws in its course on not only class-room procedures but from associations and inter- pretations of campus activities. Indeed, there has been no mortal being to transfer its concept to the printed sheet, or voice its reality from the rostrum without a con- trary voice to disclaim his view. So the search goes on. At Kent State University, as well as at all other well springs of learning, there are the seekers and the leaders. The ambitious will dip deep to fill his cup and drink according to his capacity. The well has no bottom and the fee is the same for a heavy draught as for a sip. The environment of this campus, among the most beautiful in the country, has given direction to the study of a steadily increasing enrollment. For these seekers — both the followers and the leaders — the 1948 Chestnut Burr staff has attempted to record as accurately as possible the beauties of the campus and the highlights of the year ' s events. As each class in its turn advances they will look back to the year 1947-48 recorded here as one portion of the journey as the columns move on in the darkness.

On a college campus, buildings somehow seem to mirror the basic qualities of an ever-changing cosmopolitan student body. As student dress, taste and methods of education change, so does the appearance of the uni- versity. Among Kent State ' s ten permanent buildings and many temporary structures are found reflections of 6,200 student temperaments . . . modern efficiency of McGilvrey and Engleman . . . nostalgic memories suggested by ivy-pillared Merrill and Kent, Lowry and Moulton . . . practical in- genuity of the industrial arts plant . . . stately classicism of Rockwell Library, the hub of campus lanes . . . . . . And, most characteristic, the amazing adaptability of modern students as likened to the temporary student center and men ' s dormitories, converted from army barracks. Where there is progress in learning, architects ' plans are never far behind.

Approaching fulfillment of this ideal definition of a scholar is Dr. George A. Bowman, University President. As a student of education at Western Reserve, Columbia, Chicago and Harvard Universities, he read widely to achieve a broad background for his teaching. In conferences with his faculty and students, Dr. Bowman has been noted for his sincerity and unprejudiced consideration of suggestions for improving the University. With his unusual infinite understanding, the President has written of the University which he guides: With confidence in herself, with faith in her future, and with the courage to carry through, Kent State has entered upon the road leading toward fulfillment of her real destiny. Administration 27 Proposed Men ' s Dormitory Governor Thomas J. Herbert Dr. Clyde Hissong STATE OFFICIALS IZ ARLY in the chilly fall quarter, hundreds of students J braved Ohio winds to huddle on the outskirts of Kent State ' s first post-war construction project. Students took a personal interest in the much-heralded new buildings — the first since 1940 — as they watched President Bowman sink the ground-breaking shovel; and interest continued throughout the winter as huge old trees were wrenched from the ground, to be replaced by brick and mortar. Dozens of workmen did the actual digging and hauling, but two men little known by students were largely respon- sible for the many improvements this year. Governor Thomas J. Herbert and Dr. Clyde Hissong, state director of education, have been behind the University ' s material prog- ress. Because of their help, the Ohio State Legislature granted funds necessary to keep KSU in step with the state and nation-wide program to further higher education. Improvements began during the fall quarter with a thirty per cent increase in faculty, bringing the total to nearly 250 full-time professors. Building projects were more in the spotlight, however. While students were enjoying afternoon snacks and dance sessions in the temporary Hub, the two foresighted state leaders helped authorize money for a larger, permanent student center-classroom building. Construction also began on a men ' s dormitory, men ' s health and physical educa- tion building, a hospital, and a laboratory for arts, home economics, and business students. Although they never will personally make use of these new buildings, Governor Herbert and Dr. Hissong have taken enough interest in Kent State ' s development to insure proper facilities for coming generations of students. 28 BOARD OF TRUSTEES ClX prominent Ohio educators gather each month in the dignified office of President Bow- man to decide the future of the University. These men comprise the Board of Trustees, re- sponsible for all important changes in Kent State personnel, curricula and in general operating pro- cedure. Re-elected President of the Board this fall was John R. Williams, who served with Joseph B. Hanan, vice president, Robert C. Dix, secretary, and Dr. Otto J. Korb, treasurer. Five of the six Board members are appointed, one for each year, for a five-year period of service. The sixth trustee is the state director of education, an ex-officio Board member. Members of the Board of Trustees and the years in which their present terms expire are: John R. Williams, Madison 1948 Robert C. Dix, Kent 1949 Dr. Clyde Hissong, Columbus (ex-officio) 1949 Dr. Otto J. Korb, East Cleveland 1950 Dr. Charles H. Lake, Cleveland 1951 Joseph B. Hanan, Akron 1952 Inset: John R. Williams, President of the Board SEATED: Joseph B. Hanan, Otto J. Korb, President George A. Bowman, Robert C. Dix, Charles H. Lake. Proposed Student Center 29 T 7 HEN Dean Arden L. Allyn came to the Uni- versity in 1934, the College of Business Administration was practically unnoticed in a school dominated by students preparing for teach- ing careers. In the last dozen years, however, the business curriculum has earned a place of its own, with fifteen major fields of study possible now, and a local chapter of the largest professional business honorary in the world. As the reputation of the BA college has pros- pered in outside business circles, so has respect in- creased for Professor Allyn, only pre-war academic dean still serving KSU in that capacity. Dr. John Reed Spicer came to Kent State from the dean ' s chair of Westminster, an old scholarly college in Western Pennsylvania, bringing with him the personal interest in his students usuallv associated only with small schools. As Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Dr. Spicer has made every effort to accommodate the several thousand students who account for the arts college lead in enrollment at Kent State. Recognizing the need for more thoroughly train- ed students in graduate schools, Dean Spicer has particularly concentrated this year on improve- ment of the pre-professional curricula in his college. Scores of years ago the founder of a neighboring university lost a buggy wheel in the mire near the Cuyahoga River, where Kent State now stands. The wheel was recovered, painted a bright blue and gold, and set up as a football trophy between the two schools. Known for his ingenuity in establishing this and similarly imaginative traditions is genial Raymond E. Manchester, Dean of Men since 1920. Scarcely resembling the stern, old-fashioned prototype dean, he himself has become one of the traditions of the University as the result of his efforts to encourage good sportsmanship and study. 30 A N S A LTHOUGH Kent State is no longer the coun- try school teachers ' mill it was twenty years ago, Dean Robert I. White of the College of Edu- cation has recognized KSU ' s ever-important role in supplying urgently needed Ohio teachers. Trained in the progressive methods of the University of Chicago, Dr. White has departmen- talized his school in order to place more teachers in the best metropolitan school systems. Nevertheless he has maintained the teacher train- ing program which has provided basic experience to Kent State graduates now teaching in every county and large city of northeastern Ohio. Dean of Summer School and Extension once meant teaching vacationing school marms and a handful of evening students in neighboring coun- ties. Since he came to Kent State in 1924, kindly Dean Fren Musselman has enlarged this position into a full-time job involving thousands of serious stu- dents in all colleges of the University. Dean Musselman has reorganized summer ses- sions to cater to veterans and others on accelerated programs. The extension school under his guidance this year includes eight hundred students and a full- time faculty at Kent State University Canton, which offers freshman and sophomore college work. Many a Kent State woman visiting neighboring colleges has been surprised at strict hours and regu- lations observed by undergraduate coeds. Recognized for her liberal, modern point of view, Dr. Ada V. Hyatt has preserved for KSU women the freedom she believes they are capable of using wisely. As Dean of Women Dr. Hyatt has concentrated this year on introduction of highest-ranking na- tional sororities to the campus, while supervising reorganization of rushing and pledging practices. She also has worked closely with off-campus house- mothers for the best in rooming facilities. 31 ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIALS npIMID freshmen are sometimes petrified by the gruff remarks of Registrar E. C. Stopher, but to many a graduate he is the most well-remembered and very often one of the best liked professors. With an almost fabulous memory for names and faces of former students, Professor Stopher has been instrumental in getting Kent graduates in and out of college since KSU ' s early days of 1916. To several hundred working students and faculty mem- bers, the name Paul E. Beck is little more than a signature on a monthly pay-check; but in his capacity as comptroller Professor Beck is responsible for more money than even the mythical king in his counting house. All University expenditures, from a ten-cent typewriter eraser to the $800,000 student center building, are super- vised by Professor Beck. Working hand-in-hand with the Comptroller is Emil Berg, KSU Business Manager who keeps the machinery for producing scholars well-oiled. In charge of the problem of how and where to spend Uni- versity funds, Professor Berg was busy this year contracting for the new campus buildings and furnishings, setting up new divisions like the photostating department, and seeing that academic offices were well-stocked with supplies. Even the problems connected with operating a University in a high school building in mid-downtown Canton have not fazed Clayton M. Schindler, director of Kent State University Canton. Professor Schindler knows most of the eight hundred students at the extension school, and spends much of his time encouraging them personally to continue their edu- cation after completing the two-year curricula at KSUC.

Martha Robbins has been working to bring national sororities to the campus. She is greatly responsible for the several national social groups already active at KSU, and, as Assistant Dean of Women, has charge of rushing activities. Lieut. Col. Thomas Wall created a great deal of comment when he came to Kent last fall, being the only man in uni- form on campus. But it wasn ' t long until he was joined by the members of his ROTC unit in full swing. Working efficiently, the commanding officer had his KSU army ready for its full dress review early in the winter term. Ordering, preparing and serving meals to seven hundred coeds is a full-time job, but the chore of feeding an additional 250 men at Terrace Lodge was added this year to the duties of Ernestine Williams, Head Dietician. She nevertheless man- aged to continue to serve full-course meals twenty times a week to dorm residents as well as cash patrons. Alfred A. Crowell is responsible for publication of the yellow-bound general catalog which becomes a standard ref- erence on the KSU student bookshelf. In addition to the three hundred page annual bulletin, Professor Crowell publishes many leaflets for individual departments. Job-hunting is never fun, especially during depression decades, but Dr. Lester Munzenmayer has helped many a KSU graduate to a top-ranking position. As director of the place- ment bureau, he keeps complete files on every former Stater and often assists undergraduates in finding part-time jobs be- tween classes. Keeping house for a family of 918 students, all residents of campus dormitories, is the big responsibility of petite Mrs. Rhema Fair, Director of Residences. She also provides rooms for off-campus students and aids commuters with their trans- portation problems. ALFRED A. CROWEU LESTER MUNZENMAYER RHEMA FAIR 40 ASSISTANTS T7IRST Assistant Dean of Men at KSU was Harold Sauer, - - who came to Kent from Ohio State University. In addition to being chief consultant of veteran students, he worked with inter-fraternity council in establishing policies which opened the doors to national men ' s Greek groups. As University Examiner, Charles Atkinson is responsible for admission of each new student to KSU. This involves eval- uating credits from high schools and other colleges, as well as consulting with students as they progress from one division to another toward graduation. Each time Kent State is mentioned in print or on the air, the news probably emanated from Michael Radock ' s public relations office. With a staff of student assistants, he sends general, home town, sports and feature stories and pictures to publications and radio stations throughout Ohio and the entire nation. The link between classroom needs and availability of ma- terials is provided by Larry Wooddell, who as Superintendent of Maintenance sees that supplies are brought from the ware- house, makes sure rooms are kept clean, and issues permits for ambitious workers to stay in the building overtime. Some two hundred men are in his charge. Preserving the quiet authoritative atmosphere of the ad- ministration office is Mrs. Alice Makinson, Secretary to the President. With her help, students and faculty communicate their problems to the President without personally interrupting the campus chief executive. As Director of Teacher Training, Dr. Amos Heer tries to insure a sound practical background for every student gradu- ating from the College of Education. Through his system of practice teaching on the campus, young educators gain this ex- perience as part of their regular class work.

Text books and term papers have their place at Kent State, but now and then the studious hush of Rockwell Library ends early and study lamps make way for brilliant auditorium spotlights. From one Campus Night week-end to another, the schedule of extra- curricular activities is crammed with exciting theater productions, with dances which reveal the beauty of campus queens, and with keen compe- tition in acting, in song, in decorations, and even in rowing prowess. Interwoven with the pattern of gay proms and contests are the more serious programs which also are part of college life. Solemn graduation ceremonies, The Messiah, concerts by student musical groups, and lec- tures by world leaders — all remain vivid memories long after lights have dimmed on final curtain calls. Highlights 43 m II i T S ATE GEORGE APLEY A N HOUR before the curtain rose on the first act of the ■J- -1947 Pork Barrel, early arrivals began to push into the university auditorium, and by the time the SRO sign was out students were crowding the aisles and hanging over the balcony. Four hours of entertainment followed, filled by sixteen original skits by competitive sorority, fraternity, and independ- ent groups, with a generous sprinkling of audience stooges. The usual satire on college and social life was sparked with an Olson and Johnson display of slapstick, a little ham, and some clever acting, with Jim Bullock, Lenny Taylor, and Nick Bozeka as emcees. Rapid construction of an outhouse gained a prize berth for the Industrial Arts Club. Other winners were Phi Beta Phi ' s Fact or Fiction with Jim Bissett ' s fast-moving imitation of South American jazz; Alpha Xi Delta ' s Mass Mutiny highlighted by Lois Musik ' s sketching of comic page charac- ters; and Lowry Hall ' s aesthetic musical number Artists ' Re- verie. Music for the production was supplied by Mike Fried- land and his Solituders. Carmen Miranda has nothing on the winning wriggle of Phi Beta Phi ' s Jim Bissett , . .

Rebelling children prompt George Apley to explain Freudian principles to his wife. npHE sedate, exclusive world of pompous George Apley was ■ - transferred to the University Theater in minute detail for the humorous satire of Victorian Boston, The Late George Apley, given during last year ' s spring term. Jim Bullock had the role of the title character in the Kauff- man and Marquand hit, directed by Professor G. Harry Wright, with graduate student Don Shanower as assistant director. Acting in the quiet, stuffy atmosphere of the Apley parlor, Dolores Clark was the subdued and proper wife, with Janet Gillespie and Bob Stevenson as the rebellious younger genera- tion responsible for the minor revolution on Beacon Hill. Sup- porting actors were Helen Mitrovka, Lois Dolhar, Marion Lem- ponen, Wilbur Adams, and Jim McLean. ROWBOAT REGATTA 0 N the morning of May 24 last spring, KSU stu- dents swarmed to the banks of the muddy Cuya- hoga at Fred Fuller Park to witness the seventh annual Rowboat Regatta, and neithet threatening skies nor sulky showers could discourage the enthusiastic crowd. Barbara Berg, as queen of KSU ' s royal navy, crowned the winners of the race. Her four attendants were Mary Lou Holland, Candy Zilla, Pat Godftey, and Ruth Hoehn. Life photographer George Scadding covered the event, including the pre-race activities. A faculty men ' s race was won by Professors William Form and Vic Moore. Stan Mine and Bob Wentz put on a bath- tub act, and there was a three-men-in-a-tub skit. A special raft carried Mike Friedland and his floating swing band. Raft-borne Stater reporters were first-hand wit- nesses as Dick Kline, rowing alone for Gamma T4u Delta, won the fraternity race and Blacksheeg jfohn Sackner and Gene Jagman took first place for ihd pendent men. Sorority winners were Agnes Sawyer and Evelyn Smirh of Alpha Gamma Delta, while Berniece Looney and Yvonne Lewandowski won for independent women.

A FTER a full morning of racing activities at the Rowboat Regatta, jubilant students returned to the hill — for one of the loveliest Campus Day celebrations in Kent State history. The KMK ' s traditional K-painting and presentation of K- girl, Marian Brurs, opened a long afternoon of events. On the front campus hundreds encircled the maypole dancers during their colorful ceremony and throughout the presentation of the May Queen, Mavis Lemons. Cardinal Key women led the queen contenders in a solemn procession from Lowry Hall steps to the lower campus. While everyone waited in silent suspense, Student Council president, Tom Davey, extracted the queen ' s name from a secret ballot. Judgment was made by E. Ladislav Novotony, chairman of the school of art, who chose as first and second attendants Mary Lou Johnson and Is! a Schnauffer. The float parade that followed was the culmination of weeks of hard work by various campus groups, and was a brilliant dis- play of talent and ingenuity. Both the Delta Gammas and the AOs used a clever deep-sea theme, but it was the AOs ' that won the judges ' nod. Other float themes displayed old-fashioned vehicles, Phigammatheta ' s Red Menace float, and Beta Gamma ' s attractive flower- girls. Phi Beta Phi took fraternity honors for their Build A Stadium float and Engleman ' s Every Girl A Queen won first place for the Independents. 49 A LITTLE weary by now, but still in the mood, students gathered far in advance around the steps of Merrill Hall for the day ' s last competitive event, the Campus Night Song Fest. Early twilight and the soft glow of campus streetlights set the scene, as sorority and fraternity groups filed to their places on the steps of the building. Adding effectively to their ap- pearance were the identical outfits worn by the members of the various groups. Kappa Sigma Chi ' s heartwarming Meadowlands was chosen the winning song among fraternities and Gamma Phi Beta ' s exceptional Begin the Beguine placed them in the winning bracket for sororities. Irene Brodbeck directs the AOs in the scene and the song, In The Still Of The Niglv . . . Profs Miles and Carapetyan judged the event . . . Hundreds gathered for the concert . . . Bob White led the Delts in the Battle Hymn of the Republic. 50 Accompanied by Dick Beckwith and Joe Farris, AOs Dona Mae Burkhardt, Belty Rowlen and Belly Streeler admire the trophy for their float. Some Gammas and their dates take time out from the Campus Night Dance to read the Stater Campus Day extra. A S sunlight turned to darkness, Campus Day changed to ■ • • - Campus Night and the climaxing festivities got under way. Twilight had honored the traditional Song Fest and Wills Gym was set for dancing, gay reunion, and the bestowing of awards for the activities of the day. Outside discarded floats blocked driveways of the Greek houses, while inside arms and voices were still tired from cheering favorite choices in the morning ' s Rowboat Rebatta. But inside and out, there was no time to pause in the continuity of merriment and frivolity. The band played and dancers danced, marking time until inte rmission and the announcement of the day ' s awards. May Queen Mavis Lemmons, presiding over the afternoon activities of the celebration, presented the much-sought-after honors to Gamma Phi Beta and Alpha Omega sororities, and to Kappa Sigma Chi and Phi Beta Phi fraternities. Engleman Hall also walked off with honors. Soon it was all over, to be put in memory moth balls and revived for the even more extensive plans of the next year. The brightness of crepe paper faded in the general weariness of the day and, bit by bit, the dance broke up. Campus Night was soon gone with the dawn of another day, but the mem- ories that lingered would be used to plan the next repetition of the leading Kent State tradition. 51 In preparation for baccalaureate and graduation ceremonies, Hank Ford has a gown fitting with the assistance of Mrs. Pearl Province.

RADUATION TT 7HEN the books were closed on the last chapter and classroom assignments were over, gradu- ating seniors turned to the final whirl of college dances, parties, and picnics during the activities of Senior Week. The years between their introduction to University affairs during Freshman Week had been more than filled with learning scholastically, culturally, and socially. The counterpart of registration was finally real- ized by graduation, but there was still one more line — the solemn procession from McGilvrey Hall to the University auditorium. The carefree blue and gold dinks had been replaced by the somber black of tasseled mortar boards. The Reverend Harold F. Carr presented the Com- mencement sermon, Making History. It was a moment of achievement and a moment of parting for the 255 seniors who received their degrees the morning of June the seventh. Miss Jeanette Maurer reflects the excitement that is natutal with preparation for the finale to four years of college work. 52 ' T ' HE beauty of the campus in summer makes it ■ - difficult for even the most studious to keep his mind on his books. The antics of a squirrel in a nearby tree or a bee accidentally caught in a classroom are strong competition for most professors. Regard- less of these diversions, approximately 3,300 stu- dents were enrolled in the 1947 summer session. With the desire of the veterans to complete their interrupted college careers in as short a time as pos- sible, the summer session has afforded a means of setting up a continuous accelerated study program, as well as furnishing teachers an opportunity to com- plete work for their degrees. Outdoor classes were popular and for geography students the field trip to California was a special event. For social life last summer emphasis was on the musical side, with a symphony by the Cleveland Orchestra, a Music School concert, the appearance of the Ecclesia Choir, and of the noted tenor, Raoul Jobin. The UT presented Dear Ruth, and talks were given by the Canadian poet, Wilson MacDonald, Senator Walter Judd, Norman Cousins, and Rollo Waldo Brown. Summer session concerts brought such distinguished stars to the University stage as Raoul Jobin of the Metropolitan Opera and Wilson McDonald, well-known Canadian poet. A Bach Festival in the auditorium brought high praise to the choir and orchestra and its director, Professor Carapetyan. SUMMER SESSIONS Students aren ' t the only ones who enjoy getting outdoors on a hot summer day. Often the suggestion comes from the prof himself. JBS £.%• ' ■• v?v. ■.. REGISTRATION T OR the first time in five years a typical freshman class of high school graduates arrived on campus for the 1947 Fall quarter. Wirh the continued en- rollment of veterans and former students, registra- tion figures reached the all-time high of 5,500. School spirit soared and the long-missed frosh haz- ing was revived as once again dink! and scrub that seal! greeted the unsuspecting newcomer. The rigor of registration with its long lines and complicated forms was an old headache for upper- classmen and a new confusing experience for incom- ing freshmen, who also had to contend with place- ment tests and physical examinations. Freshman Week was more than just the arrange- ment of class schedules and examinations. The in- troduction to college life was highlighted by an in- formal reception at the President ' s home, a social hour at the newly-constructed temporary Student Union, and an upperclass talent show. A special Booster Club all-frosh pep rally preceded the Mount Union game and the inauguration of the first football train received strong freshman support.

For this year ' s play the UT chose to reproduce its summer show, Dear Ruth, popular on the screen and on Broadway. Returning with the original cast, under the direction of Pro- fessor Robert I. Pearce, were Barbara Laity and Beverly Rafner, two members of the High School Speech Institute cherubs. Janet Gillespie portrayed the attractive daughter, Ruth, Nick Bozeka appeared as the dashing Lieut. Bill Seawright, and Jim Bullock was Judge Harry Wilkins. Bob MacDonald almost stole the show with his character portrayal of the frustrated fiance, Albert. The popular pre-war comedy team of Guisewite and Mouse, entertained between scenes with their version of the skit, Casey at the Bat. Their return delighted both old and new students. 56 A LL the warm family spirit of the Civil War ' s leading ■ ■ - woman abolitionist was captured by the University Theatre production of Harriet. The play was more than the mere biography of a historical character. It was an interpreta- tion of a great woman ' s work and of the sincere compassion that brought thousands of negro slaves close to her heart. A veteran of the boards, Helen Mitrovka portrayed Harriet Beecher Stowe, who, as the author of Uncle Tom ' s Cabin, was indirectly blamed for causing the Civil War. Dom DeSimio supported her as Harriet ' s doddering absent-minded husband, Calvin. Among the members of the exceptionally large cast were J. Alan Hammack, Lea Bauman, Betty Cibula, Ed Shelton, Ed Halas, Felice Faust, Marilyn Hatfield, and Melba DeScenna. The play, under the direction of Professor E. Turner Stump, was set by Professor Wesley Egan, new technical di- rector of UT. 57 HOMECOMING Homecoming Queen Dorothy Davey centers all the day ' s activities . . .

T TOMECOMING 1947 was a real homecoming for many - - - - alums, and KSU students were well prepared for them with houses and dorms decorated, a winning football team, and an informal dance to climax the day. In the morning judging was held for the best sorority, fra- ternity, and dormitory house decorations, with the hotly con- tested trophies going to KMK fraternity, Alpha Xi Delta so- rority, and Engleman Hall. Both preceding and following the game, fraternities, and sororities entertained their alumnae with informal dinners and parties. Although skies were dreary, game attendance was high. En- thusiasm reached its peak when Wib Little and Co. went on a scoring spree in the closing minutes of the homecoming fracas, giving the Flashes a 13-0 win over the Kalamazoo eleven. The marching band provided a colorful background when Mrs. Dorothy Davey, chosen Homecoming Queen by three prominent Akron men, was crowned by her husband, Tom, at half-time of the game. Sally Yingst and Irene Kelbaugh were her attendants. George Conway provided the music for the Homecoming Dance that evening, as thousands of alums and students jam- med Wills Gym. At intermission the queen presented trophies to winners of the decoration contest. Coach Rees sends a substitute into the Homecoming day game at a crucial moment.

The future year seemed almost as bright as the landscape, and extra-curricular activities came into full swing to liven eve- nings as well as days of wotk, walks, and wonderful diversions from classes. Fred Waring ' s Pennsylvanians made the biggest hit, fol- lowed by purely local attractions proportionally as well-at- tended as the four NBC broadcasts. Hayrides — picnics — • dutch dates — all were part of a KSU Autumn. Autumn leaves and frosty moonlit nights occasionally must be temporarily forsaken for an all-night date with books.

Mrs Harriet Russell pours for Ann Irons, member of the executive board of Women ' s League, sponsors of the welcoming reception. -LITTLE SISTER TEA A warm welcome from the Assistant Dean of Women, Miss Robbins, made newcomers feel both at ease and at home in their strange surroundings. Tj XCITEMENT ran high as signals buzzed through- -■— ' out the freshman dormitory and young coeds in fresh fall afternoon dresses hurried to answer their bells. They were on the way to meet their Big Sisters for the annual Big-Little Sister Tea, sponsored by Women ' s League and the Young Women ' s Christian Association. Decorations of gold and rust autumn colors were used for the Sunday afternoon affair in the Moulton Hall music room. Nearly three hundred upperclass coeds escorted their wards through the receiving line to be greeted by Mrs. George A. Bowman, Dean of Women Ada V. Hyatt, and S. Martha Robbins, As- sistant Dean of Women. Women ' s League represen- tatives also stood in the receiving line. Throughout the afternoon guests were entertained by piano music by Maxine Evelyn. Dormitory house- mothers who poured were Mrs. Eleanor Lallance, Mrs. Harriet Russell, and Mrs. Frances Watson. Co-chair- men were Bonnie .Avant, Ann Irons, and Anna Mary Acerra. Case discussions are a regular part of the clinic routine with Dr. Charles Langsam, Psychiatrist, Dr. Charles Winslow, Psychologist and director of the clinic, and Mary Jane Rahder, Clinical Psychologist. Graduate students, such as Wilbur Thomas, serve as clinical assistants and also find time ™ to help undergrads with their questions The practical experience of trying out one of the tests is gained by Ruth Davidson, undergraduate clinical assistant, aided by graduate assistant Lois Jones. THE CLINICS TT7HILE most students spent their in-between ' class hours relaxing at the Hub or perching on the benches of Prentice Gate, a few occupied these spare moments in special testing, often even more important than regular classroom studies. These students were being aided by the two largest Universities clinics — in speech and hearing therapy and in psychology. Under direction of Professor John Montgomery, the speech division emphasized correction of stut- tering, lisping, and other impediments. Hard-of-hear- ing students were given special instruction in lip- reading. Similar progress toward complete normalcy was made in the psychology clinic, under supervision of Dr. Raleigh Drake. A major branch of the organiza- tion concerned testing students to find their basic abilities and talents. Both clinics also aided area residents, at the same time giving experience to student clinicians. :ch and Hearing Clinic, Professor Montgomery demonstrates PIGSKIN PROM CENSATIONAL upset of the powerful John Carrol o eleven made the KSU grid team the toast of the campus, and the varsity heroes were feted properly at the annual Pigskin Prom, sponsored by the Booster Club November 7. Although members of the squad were not attired in jerseys and padding, they were right at home in Wills Gym, which was laid out as a token football held. Other decorations featured two large cardboard footballs, banners representing Kent ' s eight football opponents, and balloon nests which were released at intermission. Members of the varsity team were guests of honor at the affair, and served as a mass escort at presenta- tion of Doris Heupel, prom queen, during intermis- sion ceremonies. Music for the dance was furnished by the Solitud- ers, campus dance band. ' ith friends attending the dance Mary and Chet were typical of the increased number of husband and wife combinations at University affairs. i the decoration 65 SADIE HAWKINS DANCE TF Leap Year didn ' t offer enough opportunities to - ' -solve the dating problem of worried females, the more enterprising turned to the precedent created by Al Capp ' s famous cartoon character, Sadie Hawkins, and on a day set aside in her name, the girls took over the datin ' sitchiashun. The gals catched their men and dragged their prizes to the annual Sadie Hawkin ' s dance held in Wills Gym. It was a strictly Dogpatch formal — jeans, torn shirts and short skirts and all the moonshine bottle trimmings. Prize winning characters, selected by guest judges, Dorothy Hawkins, Mrs. Pearl Tucker, and Roy Wil- helm were Debbie Blumer as Daisy Mae, Paul Timko as Lil ' Abner, Ginny Straight as Mammy Yokum, Dick Kline as Hairless Joe, Daisy Taylor as Sadie Hawkins, and Marilyn Kirkland as Moonbeam McSwine. The Solituders, a university dance band, furnished the rootin ' , tootin ' moosic. TJILGRIMS of yesteryear might well have been - - shocked at the undignified pleasure of a dance, but members of the Newman Club who attended the semi-formal Pilgrim Prom were not influenced by the old austere viewpoint. Open to all Catholics and their dates, the club ' s biggest affair was held in the Aurora Country Club ballroom. An effective Thanksgiving Day atmos- phere was produced by the black and white pilgrim silhouettes at each side of the bandstand. Black and white balloons and sprays of colored leaves hung from the ceiling, to complete the early American setting. The evening ' s music was provided by Bob Smith and his quintet, from Akron. Anne Domiter and Margaret Buher were social chairmen, in charge of preparations for the Newman Club ' s effective Autumn ball. U PILGRIM PROM SEMI-FORMAL SPONSORED BY THE NEWMAN CLUB Drawing one of the largesl audiences in University records, the Christmas oratorio brought visitors from all parts of the Ohio area. THE MESSIAH The official lighting of the tree in the atrium and a Blue Key pledge dinner after the Messiah added to the holiday spirit of the day ' s program. K HTlil Tislnuti L tatoTio A RECORD-BREAKING audience of 3,700 music - ■L ■ - lovers filled Wills Gym for the tenth annual pre- sentation of Handel ' s world-famous Christmas ora- torio, The Messiah. Seldom-heard choruses and arias were effective ad- ditions to the campus presentation, given in the tra- ditional manner built up through more than 150 years of popularity. Director of the mammoth pro- duction was Caro M. Carapetyan, who molded the 250 voices of three choirs into the largest choral group ever formed at Kent State. Singers of the A Cappella Choir, the University Chorus, and the off-campus Kent Choral Society were blended, with musicians from the KSU or- chestra giving added body to the great choruses. Soloists included Lillian Wilkinson, soprano. Con- tralto Sonia Essin, Myron Taylor, tenor, and Bari- tone Gordon Gaines. 68 HOME AWAY FROM HOME (L-naleman l H m a,ll T TOME of many upperclass leaders in campus af- ■ - - - fairs is Engleman Hall, newest of the three dormitories and residence of nearly 300 junior and senior coeds. Doris Wilkes directed Engleman activities until she graduated in March, leaving the dorm presi- dency to Marion Lemponen. Other officers were Miriam Pugh, secretary; Lois Webb, treasurer; Ann Irons, social chairman; and Dorothy Shay, fire chief. Mrs, Frances Watson was housemother. Eerie ghost stories recited by flickering candlelight gave atmosphere to the dormitory Halloween party, made realistic by the addition of corn stalks to the modern lounge furnishings. The reception room underwent another transformation at Christmas time, when a ceiling-high Christmas tree provided atmos- phere for the musical program, highlighted by ac- cordion carols. ENGLEMAN Officers: Lois Webb, treasurer; Miriam Pugh, secretary; Marion Lemponen, vice-president; Doris Wilkes, president; Dorothy Shay, fire chief; Ann Irons, social chairman 69 BASE OF OPERATIONS LOWRY OFFICERS — First ROW: Jean Kudrna, secretary; Shirley Edwards, vice-president: Peggy Buher, president; Betty Mann, treasurer; Dorothy Patts, athletic manager.

Monthly contests prompted coeds to decorate their rooms, with rivalry most intense during the Christmas season, when Professors Ada Hyatt, S. Martha Rob- bins, and Isabel Hazen judged rooms and suites to find the prettiest. An open house climaxed the deco- rating activities. Margaret Buher was Lowry president, assisted by Shirley Edwards, vice-president; Jean Kudrna, sec- retary; Betty Mann, treasurer; Dorothy Potts was athletic manager, Jane King social chairman, Jeanne Wolfe publicity chairman, and Jerry Keller fire warden. Most home-like dorm, Lowry Hall is the interlude between frosh and busy upperclass houses. Mrs. E. M. Russell is housemother. 70 VARIETY UNLIMITED ILJU-n JUl Moulton Officers — First Row: Gloria Donnelly, treasurer; Barbara Lightioot, social chairman; Suzanne Burnes, president; Mrs. Lallance; Elizabeth Haggerty, vice-president; Elizabeth Robinson, athletic director. Second Row: Nancianne Martin, fire chief; Nancy Pinkerton, secretary. TNEXPERIENCE was no detriment to the gals of ■ - Moulton Hall, who managed to carry on a full program of social activities equal to that of either of their upperclass superiors. Susanne Burns headed the 200-odd Moultonites, with Joan Haggerty vice-president, Nancy Pinkerton, secretary, and Gloria Donnelly treasurer. Nancianne Martin was fire chief, Barbara Lightfoot social chair- man and Elizabeth Robinson headed the Moulton Hall athletic activities. A gift exchange was the high point of the frosh dorm Christmas party, held in the Music Room, also scene of the group ' s house meetings. Because of their proximity to many campus dances, held in the ball room, Moulton coeds were volunteer checkers and hostesses at many special affairs. Mrs. Eleanore Lal- lance remained at the freshman dorm as housemother for the third year. 71 ALL GREEK FORMAL NE night every year, the traditional competition - among Greek organizations is temporarily put aside to make way for display of all the social graces and latest in evening wear at a special formal dance. The occasion for this exhibition of ceremony was the annual All-Greek formal, sponsored by Alpha Omega sorority to honor their new pledges. This year eighteen fledglings were given the official welcome at their coming out parry, held in the East Market Gardens ballroom in Akron at the end of the Autumn quarter. 72 The crowd waits for the appearance of the AO pledge set and the highlight of the even- ing ' s social event. jim Luli led the Gammas as they carried their Fall songfest training inro the Winter quarters.

D RIGHT-COLORED banners of each Greek or- ganization on campus decorated the walls of the spacious ballroom for the All-Greek formal, pro- viding an appropriate background for guests who danced to the music of Ross Halamay ' s orchestra. Mabel Davey, Alpha Omega social chairman, had complete charge of the ball, the high spot on fraternity and sorority social calendars. Final touch of Greek atmosphere was added by the Song Intermission, when each group serenaded those in the dance audience with its fraternity sone. ,f i 73 TOP HOP ' i t LM- tvi£ estate Mabel Davey relaxes informally amid news of the Top Hop, where she was crowned Miss Kent State . . .

Uniforms were out of style and veterans ' budgets did not include tuxedos or tails. What was lost in tradition, however, was made up in fanfare in the presentation of Mabel Davey, ac- claimed Miss Kent State by a student election. At intermission the queen, wearing a royal red velvet robe trimmed in ermine, was escorted to her throne by heads of all Greek organizations and the ISA. At- tendants Bonnie Jean Avant and Eleanor Meek walk- ed beside Miss Davey during the royal procession. Name band selected for this year ' s Top Hop was the versatile Bobby Sherwood orchestra, well known for both jazz and danceable music. A new tradition was started when the queen was presented with the first Miss Kent State trophy, a silver cup. Roy Newsome made the presentation.

MY SISTER EILEEN ■c teslutiiiii dsteAcutaiio-u or L-Liuvczutii Jlicat ' te Paul Nasrallah didn ' t seem to convince Jane Gates that his was a deep and abiding love. It seemed more like a very familiar line. A LL the adventurous spirit of a young writer and her stage- ■ • struck blonde sister was transferred to the auditorium stage for My Sister Eileen, perfectly chosen Freshman Class Play. Presented late in the Fall quarter, the three-act drama starred Jane King and Jane Gates in the leading roles. Effec- tively reproduced was the down-to-earth hilarity of the original book and comedy hit. Actors making their first appearance on the college stage included Ernest Mauer, Edward Shelton, Paul Nasrallah, among others, while actresses Becky Caldwell and Lea Bauman also were new. Not a full-fledged member of the frosh class but also making his first UT appearance in Eileen was Professor Wes Egan, technical director who designed and fully supervised building of the basement-apartment sets. Professor G. Harry Wright directed the comedy, leading the UT season off to a start sure to tickle the funny-bone of an audience pleased to see new theatre talent. ANTIGONE laiiLia-ttf Ute e at alien o-t L ,iiivexHlu J-neatte The facing of inescapable reality brings mental agitation to Jim Bullock as Creon when the plot of life is revealed by Wilbur Proctor as the chorus. REEK classic methods of plot structure and planar action - were set to modern language and dress for Antigone, the most unusual serious drama to open on the University Theatre stage in several years. Director was Muriel Lewis, newest member of the School of Speech faculty. Graduate student Dorothy Ayre held the audience ' s atten- tion with her interpretation of the title role — that of a young girl trying to do justice to her dead brother and her tyrant- uncle. Veteran actor Jim Bullock was the uncle, dressed in modern formal clothes which contrasted with the vivid red of Anti- gone ' s gown. In the supporting cast were Felice Faust, David Roberts, Richard Evans, Betty Hull, Frank Yukman, Robert Mitchell, James Iacovazzo, and Robert Wallace. Carrying out the Greek form to the last detail, Wilbur Proctor had the narrator ' s part, as he informed the audience of the stage action in the traditional manner. The climax in a duel of word brings Creon to the point of physical violence in an effort to turn Antigone, Ooty Ayre, to his will . . , The moral of the story was unwound along with the plot as the chorus directed the line of reasoning . . . The theme of the famous Hamlet soliloquy was also the problem of debate between Antigone and her sister, Felice Faust. UT FORMAL T TNIQUE posters and pictures of past University Theater productions amid the effective glow of red spotlights gave a true theatrical atmosphere to the annual UT semi-formal, held in the Moulton Hall music room the last of January. Count Williams and his orchestra, popular Cleve- land dance band, furnished music. At intermission, new members of Alpha Psi Omega national dramatics honorary, were presented by Jim Bullock, UT social chairman. Chaperones for the dance included Speech School staff members E. Turner Stump, G. Harry Wright. James N. Holm, and John R. Montgomery and their Guests of the evening included professors Stump and Wright, Mrs. Stump, Mrs. Wright, and professor and Mrs. Holm . . .

Veterans who had been trying to forget what a uniform looked like found themselves the objectives of a brisk re- cruiting drive. And contrary to previous emphatic statements, many of them soon were listed as part of the Kent State Reserve Officer Training Corps. Lt. Col. Thomas Wall, head of the military science department, has seen his command develop from the embryonic stage into what next fall will be the sixth largest unit among forty colleges and universities. With authority granted by the Second Army to enroll an additional one hundred students, it will consist of 165 cadets, all Juniors and Seniors and a basic section of non-veterans with no limit as to number.

NO TIME FOR CLASSES i=r+li ttuicut yliuucal i auetif lt tow [ CROPPING the usual thin plot outlines, Producer - Lenny Taylor completely rejuvenated the annual all- student musical No Time For Classes into a streamlined variety show exhibiting the best in song and theatre talent from the student body. Carrying the main load of comedy lines were Dom De- Simio, Jim Sharpe, Bob MacDonald, and Irving Babe Hahn. Introduction of the new music by Taylor, Bill Wil- liams, and others, was left to Pete Ulrich and Irene Brod- beck, while Felice Faust and her partner Frank Carioti worked out original dance routines. Special additions to the format were the twelve Taylor Girls who starred in the Feminalities skit. 1948 Taylor Maids — Hildegarde Boehm. Irene Brodbeck, Barbara Broiter.

The event occurred at the annual Art Club-sponsored Masque Ball. After walking into the gaping mouth of a fish and wind- ing through a maze of crepe paper seaweed, dancers came upon the dance floor through the torn side of a sunken ship. Schools of painted fish hung from the ceiling and a crepe paper net filled with colored balloon bubbles further carried out the Davey Jones Locker theme. Ross Halamay and his orchestra provided the evening ' s music from a bandstand set against a treasure chest back- drop, completing the under-sea picture. King Neptune was at the Masque Ball, and earthly creatures and deep-sea life mingled together as octopuses and mermaids danced by Alpine mountaineers and sheiks with their harem girls. Twin alligator costumes won first prize in dress for Penny Carroll and William Pistner, Art Club members. Non-members winning top awards were Richard Kotis and Ethel Szojak, with Sheldon Pressler and Alice Kasabach in second place. Two Akron artists judged the costumes. Originality was the keynote at this year ' s costumes being of the rented type, as desigr bedsheels for their working materials. Kent Stote for one night played host to a cosmopolitan crowd as artists took to the dress of the Mexican, Arab, Indian, and a dozen other nations for their masquerode. nee to the dance was gained through the torn hull of a tn ship . . .

Even on the beach or sun porch fashion dictates called for ankle lengths as shown by the sun dress modeled by Margaret Maxton. Open warfare on the new look flared to a new high as the male protest took the form of out and out action. Barbara Berg wears one of the hit fashions of the show to demonstrate that the longer length could be very attractive. THE NEW LOOK OLD STARS, yardsticks, caps and knickers — J symbolic of the KSU male ' s answer to the hem- line question only paved the way to a summary Spring style show for University women on how to antagonize the men even more with the very latest fashions. Moaning and groaning from the outset of the Fall term, the K-Vets used a yardstick as a measure of a girl ' s sense of fashion. The next attack on long skirts Stater men took to caps and knickers, swearing to only give them up when Stater girls antiquated the new look. The Fancy Dan attire lasted three days. Padded hips, bustles, and ballerina skirts — integral factors in the campus Gibson girls ' wardrobes — had faded the new look into the old look. 83 CHESTNUT BURR FORMAL NOVEL Man-About-Town decorations added to the transformation of Wills Gym as the floor was given over to the strict formality of the Chestnut Burr Ball, the year ' s only all-University, all-formal dance. Decorations for the formal February 28 featured white-tied gentlemen leaning against lighted lamp posts. The shirt fronts of glittering material matched an oversized shirt front mount- ed over the bandstand. Decorations, theme, and poster de- signs were under the supervision of Harlan McGrail, art editor of the yearbook. Perry Como, one of the ranking radio crooners, was named to select the queen who reigned over the University dance. His decision, one of the year ' s most closely-kept secrets, was re- vealed by Terry Pugliese at dance intermission. Chairman of the dance, Miss Pugliese introduced Charlene Arnold, fresh- man in the liberal arts college and a member of Alpha Omega sorority. Miss Arnold was awarded a dozen roses by the Burr staff, presented by Editor Frank Carioti, Jr. Bouquets then went to the two runners-up, Marilyn Taylor and Josephine Douglass, both of Beta Gamma sorority. George Conway and his orchestra played for the dance which attracted more than 250 couples. Included among the celebraters were more than one former Burr editor and other staff members of previous yearbooks — all joining the dancers at the Chestnut Burr formal.

Theme of the three-act drama was the compatibili- ty and conflict of age and youth in love. In the leading role was graduate student Donald Shanower, with Janet Gillespie as the secretary to the noted play- wright. While trying to live according to the theory. You ' re only as old as you feel, they involved UT supporting actors Jim McLean, Edward Halas, Dom DeSimio, and several others in the planned confusion. Strictly modern dress and talk marked this comedy, in contrast to period plays which opened during the same UT season. Director was theater chief G. Harry Wright of the School of Speech staff. Wes Egan came through with another example of modern stage set- ting, picturing the swank New York apartment of writer Shanower. Everything combined kept the audience well-satisfied with Accent. 86 All the offeclo Bert Emanuel, George Yates, toastmaster of the banquet, and Julius Greenfield, chair- The technical part of color photography for reproduction receives more emphasis each man of round-table discussions, were typical of small discussion groups- year at the Short Course.

Professor William Taylor holds the attention of the group, while Professor James Fosdick, Short Course Executive Secre- tary, looks on seated at the left of the group. T7 OR the first time since its inception ten years ago, - • the 1948 Short Course in News Photography concerned itself only with professional cameramen and their problems. Despite the desired cut in en- rollment, bringing the number to a workable 300, papers from thirty states and Canada sent their men to the conference. Professor James A. Fosdick was executive secre- tary for the seventh annual event, with Joseph Costa of New York as director. Other top photographer- lecturers included George Yates, Ralph Wareham, Frank Scherschel, and William Eckenberg. 87 Executive committee of the Radio Workshop included (circle left to right): Clem Scerback, president; Jim Bullock, vice-president; Wanda Lashley, secretary; Professor Walton Clarke, advisor; Wally Krivoy, treasurer; Wright Everett, publicity manager; and Kenny Goldstein, script director. T N one corner of Kent Hall members of the Kent - - State Radio Workshop — otherwise known as KSRW — write, cast, direct, and produce their own scripts in a series of modern, soundproof, fully- equipped studios. Main weekly goal of the workshop staff is pro- duction of a top-notch fifteen-minute broadcast over WAKR, Akron. Basically a series of dramatic scripts, entire broadcasts are occasionally donated to presen- tation of excerpts from current UT plays, to speeches by students and professors, and to special concerts by the a cappella choir. Clem Scerback headed RW most of the year, with Jim Bullock vice-president, Wanda Lashley secretary, Wallace Krivoy treasurer, and Kenny Goldstein, Julia Ross, Tom Cacioppo, and Sandy Wolfe.

For fifteen minutes actors move silently over the carpeted floor, dropping their script pages noiselessly as they are completed. In the control room one record after another is put in place, while a separate record- ing machine picks up every word and note for later study. And from behind a false door the sound ef- fects director produces the final touches of reality. KSRW on the air! f9 NEW LOOK FOR THE CAMPUS ' T ' HE campus erupted, and out of the cavity created ■ - by bulldozers, shovels, and working crews appear- ed the yellow brick shoots of the future men ' s dorm, student health center, and student union building. These were the first major constructions at KSU since million-dollar McGilvrey Hall was completed in 1940. Birth of the health center and the activity next to the Hub, being closest to the main campus, were given due consideration by sidewalk engineers. While visible progress was being made, spirited drives simultaneously were in progress for the proposed Memorial Stadium. rEAR ' S END T7HILE forsythia bushes bloomed along the ' library paths and a new-green glow covered the campus hillside, Spring quarter activities rose to a climax with the return of the Don Cossacks, the ap- pearance of local talent on the Men ' s Glee Club and Faculty Night programs. Campus couples welcomed evening programs, and warm weather found many taking advantage of the lone lanes back to the dorm. -period lull without a men ' s singing group on campus, the University heartily welcomed th adilions of a Men ' s Glee Club in the March assembly program, directed by Prof ' Th L m mwr Frar k Carioti, Jr. atainmut and, nonsense A ai id Leu tnuii. ' • A prominent eighteenth century poet and dramatist believed education began and ended with this strange combination of qualities. So it may have been in his day, but certainly by standards of twentieth century education grammar and nonsense and learning are but the beginning. Grammar to a Kent State University senior began with a long-forgotten course in Freshman composition. It included such a variety of talent-builders as term paper writing — the bane of collegiate existence — and sentence dia- gramming. Nonsense, too, has had its place in the University. Some from the stage, as NTFC and Pork Barrel; some from the Hub, dorms, and fraternity houses. Together grammar and nonsense have produced a modern learning which blends formal and informal academic and social training into a college graduate. Student Body 93 Dr. Raymond M. Clark Director of Graduate Instruction vLdie i r T , HIRTEEN years have not proved unlucky for the - - youngest division in the Kent State family — the Graduate School. Once a rarity on campus, graduate students now total more than one hundred. Bachelor ' s degrees held by these persons are from thirty-two colleges, with Kent State holding the majority as fifty-two students have chosen to continue their work at their undergraduate Alma Mater. Ohio State University has contributed five students to the KSU graduate division, for the largest repre- sentation from another school. To earn a master ' s degree, aspirants must com- plete forty hours of classroom work in addition to a five-hour thesis. Graduate courses have been offered since May, 1935, when legislation converted Kent State from a college to a full-fledge university. Dt. Raymond Clark, Director of Graduate Instruc- tion, has been a familiar figure on campus since he joined the faculty in 1926. Formerly head of the psychology department, he served as Acting Presi- dent in 1943-44. Alice A. Belanger KENT, OHIO BS University of Minnesota Virginia M. Bica ALLIANCE.

By Commencement time in June, 1948, this same class, swollen by veterans, was large enough to overflow the main division of the auditorium. Class activities for nearly five hundred seniors were guided by elected officers, Frank Carioti, president; Berniece Looney, vice-president; Phoebe Steiner, secretary; and Alvin Weekley, treasurer. As president of Student Council, Thomas Davey led debate and action on leading, and often heated, campus issues. Seniors serving with him in Council included Anne Domiter, Matilda Davis, Robert Duncan, Jean Goncher, Roy Newsome, Isla Schnauffer, Clarence Strader, Robert Wentz, and Robert White. In addition to their duties in Council, Miss Goncher and Duncan also headed Women ' s League and Men ' s Union, re- spectively.

Zingery NEW PHILADELPHIA, O. BA Indus. Psychological C ' OR the last four years commencement-conscious • ■ seniors have turned to their advisor, Dr. Gerald H. Chapman, associate professor of chemistry. Always the calming influence during graduation rehearsals and exercises, Dr. Chapman serves as mar- shall of the commencement parade and head of the commencement committee. Supervision of finances and senior activities also fall within Dr. Chapman ' s responsibilities as class advisor. However, these problems are familiar to the portly professor who has been associated with the university as a student or faculty member since 1911. Gerald H. Chapman 114 ALUMNI ASSOCIATION SETTING an example in accomplishment, mem- bers of the Kent State University Alumni Asso- ciation executive council drove to Kent each month from every northeastern Ohio county, to attend the informal luncheon meetings where alumni plans were carefully formulated. Led by Joseph D. Kelly, ' 33, alumni functioned under a new constitution and the number of asso- ciation members was increased through an intensive enrollment drive. Two new chapters were added during 1947-48, in Ashtabula and Mahoning counties. These joined the ranks of nine clubs already active in Cuyahoga, Summit, Portage and Stark counties. Keeping alumni well-informed of work by their club officers, as well as providing class notes and campus news, the Kent Alumnus continued its quar- terly publication. Marion Cole, editor for the fourth year, was assisted by Robert Weymueller until April, when he assumed complete charge.

The beginning of a new tradition was established when the class of ' 49 decided to finance a Spring dance honoring the seniors. Proceeds of this Junior-Senior Prom were pledged to the Stadium Drive. Also new in the university club organization this year was the Council of Presidents, composed of heads of all student clubs, honoraries, fraternities, and sororities. A junior, Curt Sarff, the council ' s first chairman, was instrumental in the or- ganization ' s founding. With Phyllis Robbins he also repre- sented his class on Student Council. Phil Brustein emerged victorious in the hody-contested class election. Shating the officer slate with him was a feminine trio consist ing of Dawn Kerkhof, vice-president; Connie Norris, secretary; and Jane Wrentmore, treasurer. Robert Farnsworth and Wallace Krivoy held offices in Men ' s Union and Margaret Boone was a Women ' s League leader. John Finn edited the Kent Stater in the Winter quarter. Six men and six women from rhe class were initiated into Blue Key and Cardinal Key, national service honoraries. Those pledged were Janet Gillespie, Doris Heupel, Ann Irons, Martha Lansinger, Miss Robbins, and Alice Jean Watson, to Cardinal Key; and Finn, John Forresr, Krivoy, Richard Paskert, Sarff, and Donald Warman, to Blue Key.

However, class spirit showed itself on occasions such as the class agreement to co-sponsor the Popularity Ball with the freshmen and juniors. Between rehearsals for NTFC, University Theatre, and civic lodge plays, Dominic De Simio found time to devote to his duties as sophomore president. His assistants in organizing the class included Carol Brown, vice-president; Mary Lou Masin, secretary; and John Wilhelm, treasurer. Among Student Council members who began the year as sophomores were Betty Jean Keck, Clarence Peoples, Philip Dempsey, William Shuttleworth, and John Gressard. The latter three shouldered the responsibilities and head- aches that accompanied selection of juniors and seniors for mention in Who ' s Who Among Students in American Uni- versities and Colleges. Disproving the old theory that a write-in candidate never has a chance, William Byrne tallied sufficient votes to elect him to the vice-presidency of Men ' s Union. In the spring quarter Robert Weymueller began his duties as editor of the official alumni publication and campus repre- sentative of the Alumni Association. Although late in organizing, the sophomores still hoisted their flying colors in time to carry on the traditions of the class.

PHOMORES 139 5 1 CCQORRY, we ' re all out of dinks, was a standard freshman- week lament in September, 1947. Such evidence of the old rah-rah spirit returned to Kent State when the class of 1951 enrolled in the university last fall. Probably because most of these newcomers were younger than the freshmen veterans of the immediate post-war years, the new frosh clamored for dinks long after the last one had been sold. Again the vigorous spirit of the class revealed itself with the production of the all-frosh comedy, My Sister Eileen, which introduced a host of new talent to the Kent State theater. Among the budding thespians were Jane Gates as the fragile Eileen; Jane King, the practical and witty Ruth; Paul Nasral- lah, the mean old landlord, and Edward Shelton, the fancy free newspaperman. Potential campus leaders stepped into the political limelight to revive waning politics when the final count revealed the election of Richard Rice, president; Lee Sproat, vice-president; Rita Hau, secretary; and Charles Fletcher, treasurer. Four newly-elected Student Council members included Ted Trask, Joseph McCabe, Nancy Reddrop, and Sally Koch. Pat Patton, Don Esenwine, Robert Paskert, and Trask up- held frosh rights in Men ' s Union this year. From all indications, it looks as if the class of ' 51 will produce enough political tycoons to replace the upperclass wheels upon their graduation. Quarters were crowded for frosh coeds who moved into Moulton hall, now the only freshman dormitory on campus. The governing body of the dorm consisted of Sue Burns, president; Elizabeth Haggerty, vice- president; Nancy Pinkerron, secretary; and Gloria Donnelly, treasurer. Frosh couples danced to the music of Dale Stanford and his orchestra at the Sweater Swagger early in February under the soft lights in Moulton Music Room. The strictly stag affair marked the class ' first social event of the winter quarter. 140 It wasn ' t long after the beginning of the year before the new campus citizens began to show up in the extra-curricular organizations. Freshmen soon found their places in the Radio Workshop, University Theatre, publications, and every other phase of student effort. Each freshman was introduced to the medical facilities of the University during the first week when his complete physical record was made up for the files. At least the blood test was one examination the students didn ' t have to cram for. The first few days of university life are always a bit dazzling for the new crop of freshmen, strange to the campus, the faces around them, and their new homes. Deserted Wills Gym offered quiet relief to this weary trio as they added the final touches to long days of registration procedure. 141 ESHM 142 Freshman week hazing kept the seal at Prentice Gate shining . . .

Early each Saturday morning streams of coeds and young men, dressed for work in plaid wool shirts and blue jeans, make their way to respective sites of the fifteen Greek houses in Kent. Studies are forsaken for a scrub pail and paint brush, and the pledges dig in for a busy day. Focal point of campus fraternity activity is The House, where brothers meet and work as they build up memories which will be recalled with sentiment and affection for years afterward. Just as fraternity houses can be transformed with a little paint, it doesn ' t take much to convert a campus coed into the belle of her sorority ball. For those who enjoy social functions, the fraternity is the thing; and long after graduation the house will remain the place where It ' s so nice to come home to.

DETURNING to the campus a week early in September, - - - members of Alpha Gamma Delta sorority pitched in im- mediately to renovate their house at the end of Lincoln street in time for the formal rush season. After a nightmare of long days of painting and sewing, the house was completely redecorated, with a cheerful new decor of dawn gray and pale green walls and woodwork. The Alpha Gamma Delta insignia of the twin roses was carried out in the pattern of the colorful window hangings. Scene of the installation of Alpha Gamma Delta as the Alpha chapter of the national group was the music room of Moulton Hall. Ceremonies took place December 6, when the local women joined the nation-wide sorority founded at Syra- cuse University in 1904. Installing officers, honorary members, and additional guests were entertained after the ceremonies at a special luncheon. The official President ' s Home at the east corner of the campus was opened for the affair. Rushing brought the Alpha Gams the regular quota of twenty freshman pledges. Since that time, eight more women have been pledged to membership, bringing the total sorority registration close to fifty persons. A Palm Beach theme was carried out at the annual pledge dance sponsored by Alpha Gamma Delta in Akron late in Feb- ruary. Bridge playing proved to be the favorite form of relaxation at the Alpha Gamma Delta house. Learners were well in evi- dence, and the process was aided by help from Housemother Dee. Several campus fraternities participated in open house bridge parties sponsored by the Alpha Gams, to carry on the traditional Sunday-evening get-togethers. Alpha Gamma Delta women were in evidence in most of the major campus organizations and activities. Two members were mentioned in the collegiate Who ' s Who, and one was an officer of Cardinal Key, women ' s national service honorary. Two more Alpha Gams were active in Zeta Iota, honorary for outstanding women in business administration. FIRST ROW: Jackie Hanninen, Beverly Post, Velois Loudon, Irene Tryon.

NE of the few remaining local sororities on campus is S Alpha Omega, which maintains its green and white home on University Drive. Alpha Omega women continued this year to take part in many campus activities, and the sorority was represented in the leading honoraries. Among the biggest events on the social calendar is the All- Greek formal, presented annually by the AO ' s for members of the entire fraternity-sorority group at Kent State. Akron ' s East Market Gardens was the scene of this year ' s successful dance, highlighted by presentation of Alpha Omega pledges to the fraternity circle. After an extensively promoted campaign, Mabel Davey was elected Miss Kent State of 1948. Clothed in royal velvet and ermine, she was presented at the traditional Top Hop formal. Other queenships also have come in overwhelming numbers to the AO ' s this year, including the Homecoming, Chestnut Burr and Kappa Sigma Chi honors. The last award has been made to members of Alpha Omega for three consecutive years, making it possible for the group to keep possession of the sweetheart trophy. Honors in another field came to Alpha Omega at last spring ' s Campus Day festival. An acquarium with human mermaids drew the award for the most original float entered by sorority groups in the parade. An exciting day in the AO house is the time when mem- bers of the sorority exchange pledges with their brother fra- ternity, Delta Phi Sigma. Delt pledges answer the beckoning calls of AO actives and Alph a Omega pledges do the same at the Delt house — both groups going through a rigorous routine of cleaning, painting, and scrubbing. AO coeds also kept in trim this winter by participating in the Women ' s Athletic Association tournaments. They tied for the winning cup. Among less vigorous activities of Alpha Omega are the semi-annual parties honoring the sorority housemother, pa- trons and patronesses. These events take place at Christmas time and during the spring quarter. FIRST ROW: Jessica Perry, Alice Sherman, Lois Ann Heller, Alberta Sturri, Becky Culley.

August 17 local Gamma Sigma Phi was pledged to Alpha Xi Delta, and November 22 the coeds were formally installed as Beta Tau chapter of the national sorority, founded in 1893 at Lombard College. Each year varsity football players choose their own queen, and at the close of the 1947-48 season Doris Heupel reigned as Pigskin Prom Queen at the dance honoring her and the grid team. Alpha Xi ' s also won the contest in honor of Homecoming by gaily decorating their house at Summit and Lincoln streets with a Feudin ' and Fightin ' theme. Judges chose their work as the best in the sorority division, designed to portray the KSU-Kalamazoo fracas. No matter what time of day visitors drop in at the Alpha Xi Delta house, they find tables of bridge well-filled. Everyone seems to know how to play, and proof of the pudding is the coeds ' winning of the bridge tournament sponsored by Pan-Hellenic council. Not all Alpha Xi entertainment is impromptu, however. Immediately after the rushing season, the social merry-go- round got under way with a Christmas party for patronesses and alumnae. Next came the annual winter formal in Jan- uary, which had to be postponed a week when Old Man Win- ter went to work, making it impossible to reach the country club. But the Alpha Xi ' s weren ' t discouraged: the following week they held the dance which proved to be one of the high- light events of the year. The social year ended for Alpha Xi Delta women and alumnae with a formal spring dinner dance at the Tudor Arms Hotel, Cleveland. In addition to their social activities, Alpha Xi ' s found time to participate in three honorary groups, as well as Student Council, the Kent Stater, Women ' s League, and Allocations Committee.

' ■ M I 1 152 dHfeSal DETA GAMMA sorority fired the opening gun on Kent - - ' State social life this year with their sponsorship of the Witches ' Cauldron at Halloween time. As the first all-Uni- versity dance, the affair served to introduce new students to University social routines and provided a brief lull from the first four weeks of hard school work. Other dances also were on the Beta Gamma agenda for the year. Actives were guests at the fall Lollipop Hop, presented by Beta Gam pledges to symbolize their infancy as sorority members. Dancers dressed in children ' s outfits which added to the hilarity of the strictly informal party. The mood was exactly opposite for the sorority ' s annual spring supper dance, held at the University Club in Akron. Here lovely decorations, soft music and dim lights added ro- mance to the atmosphere for the Moonlight Mood formal. Another big time for every Beta Gamma member was last spring ' s Campus Day, when Mavis Lemmons was selected from a large court to preside as Queen of the May. She was honored at an outdoor ceremony on the front campus and again at the dance that evening. The same day, two Beta Gamma coeds were attendants to the Rowboat Regatta Queen at festivities on the river in the morning. The sorority also received honorable mention for their entry in the Campus Day parade. As a reflection of their delight at being just kids for the Lollipop Hop, Beta Gammas worked full-time to insure happiness for children who are ill. Throughout the year mem- bers of the sorority collected and repaired toys, and their work was rewarded when they presented the bulging treasure chest of delightful playthings to youngsters in the children ' s ward of Robinson Memorial Hospital, in Ravenna. Week-ends at the Beta Gamma house were spent remodel- ing the sorority home on University Drive; but things were always spick and span for Sunday evening suppers, when various fraternities were guests. Beta Gamma coeds had a chance to see their members in two campus theatricals — My Sister Eileen and NTFC. FIRST ROW: Margaret Zilla, Nancy Heckmcn, Alice Romanachuck.

Meet- ing in the Jay-Teen has its advantages after all. T AST SPRING the air buzzed with talk of nationals com- - - ' ing to the campus, but nothing was certain. While rumors still were flying among the local fraternities, Kappa Lambda, youngest local at the time, was the first to step out and be pledged to a national social sorority. They chose Chi Omega, founded at the University of Arkansas in 1895. June 7 members were installed formally as the Lambda Delta chapter of Chi Omega. To the Kent State coeds went the honor of being the one hundredth chapter on the Chi Omega roll, as well as the first national on campus. When fall rushing season op ened, the Chi O ' s were handi- capped without a house, but, to prove that the age of chivalry was not dead, Phi Beta Phi ' s graciously offered the use of their home. Fourteen women were pledged during the autumn sea- son. Meetings were reserved for business, but after each session Chi Omegas found time for dancing, since they usually met in the Jay-Teen downtown. Another place they called home was the Moulton Hall music room, the site of most of the special sorority celebrations. When the new look in women ' s dress caused a furore at Kent, as everywhere else, the K-Vets revolted against long hemlines by measuring every coed ' s skirt and rewarding the wearer of the garment they considered the exact proper style. A Chi Omega member was chosen Miss Right Length in the novel competition. Skirts gave way to blue jeans and plaid shirts for one of the biggest jobs at Kent State — decorating Wills gym for dances. Chi Omegas took the lead in this project, as well as in helping to sell tickets for the dances and promoting sales of student directories. One of Chi Omega ' s national traditions calls for their pledge group to entertain all other pledges on campus. This was done in January with an informal party, highlighted by a skit about A Typical Pledge ' s Day. Fun also gives way to seriousness for Chi O ' s, who offer an- nually a trophy for outstanding work in the field of sociology. First KSU award was made this spring.

Formal installation of the Gamma Epsilon chapter of Delta Gamma took place December 6. A reception the next day in Moulton Hall completed the celebration. Original chapter of Delta Gamma was founded at Lewis School in 1873. Members of Delta Gamma found their way into Student Council and the annual collegiate Who ' s Who. First Rowboat Regatta queen was a Delta Gamma who reigned at the river race while dressed in white shorts, an angora sweater, and white sailor hat. In February, actives gave a special dance at Twin Lakes for the pledge chapter. Each pledge was presented individual- ly as she took her place in the huge anchor formation, which completed the impressive ceremony. The Delta Gammas also entertained their brother fraternity, Gamma Tau Delta, at a house party during the winter quarter. Another major social event at the Delta Gamma house was the annual Founders Day banquet, when the house was deco- rated with cream colored roses and bronze, pink and blue rib- bons. After the opening reception, members of the Eta Chapter from Akron joined Kent State Coeds in a dinner at the Robinhood. Alumnae were also guests at the affair, which took place March 13. Not all social affairs concern only members of the sorority, however. Twenty-seven underprivileged children were enter- tained by coeds of Delta Gamma at a special Christmas party. The coeds themselves got such a treat from watching the delighted children that they immediately set to work planning a similar fun-fest. Traditional gifts and Yule carols gave way to special heart-shaped presents and game songs for a Valentine party, when twenty-five more underprivileged youngsters were treated as royal guests.

IT ENT STATE UNIVERSITY ' S newest local sorority, Gam- - - ■ ma Iota, made its appearance on the campus during the formal fall rush season. It wasn ' t long until they were pledged to Delta Zeta, national social group founded in 1902 at Miami University. National pledging ceremonies took place Decem- ber 19. Delta Zeta launched itself vigorously during the informal rush period, and added eighteen more women to their ranks, making the total number thirty-five. Without a house or other material assets, the Delta Zetas set out enthusiastically to establish themselves on campus. They were the first gtoup to buy a seat in the proposed Me- morial Stadium. Sorority membets also helped support the stadium fund by selling 409 student directories. Published by Blue Key honorary, the directory was sold to students, with all proceeds going to the drive. Delta Zeta won the first di- rectory trophy for its effort. During their first year, the social calendar of the Delta Zetas included a buffet supper at the home of one member in Stow. Persons attending included the original seventeen members. Almost a dozen foreign accents marked the outdoor picnic supper given by the coeds for Kent State students from other lands. Setving all-American hot dogs, coke and potato salad, the women offered a material lesson illustrating the good- neighbor policy. After the excitement of installation, rushing and final exami- nations, the Delta Zeta coeds ended their successful year with a spring formal. Come to the Mardi Gras was the theme of the dance, carried out in soft music and lighting effects. Several members of the sorority worked together outside of the group as well as within. Three coeds were volunteer counselors to freshmen students. Other outstanding membets included the first post-war woman business manager of the Kent Stater and the directot of sound effects fot the theater and radio groups. 159 FIRST ROW: Thelma Waddell, Joan Setvinger, Dora Lee Kriechboum, Shirley Drake, Evelyn Burt, Barbara Brower.

GOOD singing and athletic skill are the marks of Gamma Phi Beta sorority, second national social group on the Kent State campus. The Beta Zeta chapter, fifty-fourth mem- ber of the national, was formally installed October 25 at a ceremony in Moulton Hall, performed by chapter members of Ohio Wesleyan University. Gamma Phi Beta was founded at • Syracuse University in 1874. Two song festivals were won by coeds of the sorority dur- ing the spring term last year. A warm-up trophy was theirs as the result of the Kappa Mu Kappa song contest at the fraternity ' s Jubilee Dance. But the real honor for music prowess came on Campus Night, as the singers offered the enchanting Begin the Beguine from the steps of Merrill Hall. Also on the Gamma Phi Beta trophy shelf are two athletic awards gained this year. The group won the matches in soccer and volleyball after beating other sorority and women ' s dor- mitory teams. More visible results came from the physical energy spent in remodeling the sorority house. After a complete redecorat- ing job, the house on South L incoln Street was ready for its national guests. Highlights of the winter quarter included the annual pledge dance, held at the Aurora Country Club. Also during that term was the tea presented for pledges of other sororities as a tra- ditional gesture of friendship. Gamma Phi Beta did its share in supporting plans for the forthcoming Memorial Stadium. In conjunction with Alpha Phi Beta fraternity, the coeds gave a dance during the spring term, donating the entire collection to the drive. Many outstanding women were members of the sorority, from the president right down the line. Several coeds were in Cardinal Key honorary, four women were on the executive board of the Women ' s Athletic Association, and several more were officers of the Health and Physical Education Club. Other groups to which Gamma Phi Beta members belonged included the science honorary, theater and radio clubs, business admin- istration honorary, and Women ' s League.

UNDER the guidance of the National Panhellenic Con- ference, the Kent State University Panhellenic Council was founded October 30 to replace the local group with the same name. Composed of twenty-seven members, the group includes one senior, one junior and one alumna from each sorority on campus. Under the Council ' s guidance formal and informal rushing take place. The group works closely with the office of the Dean of Women in planning this event each term. This year Panhellenic sponsored a benefit bridge to raise money for support of a war orphan. The central group also gives a bridge tournament for sorority entrants and pro- motes good scholarship by offering a rrophy to the sorority with the highest average grade for all its members.

X ' T)ERFECT coordination is as necessary to the welfare of - - fraternity organizations on a college campus as it is to the success of an army. That is why the president and one other member of each fraternity at Kent State meet on alternate Wednesdays in meet- ings of Inter-Fraternity Council. Aim of the group is to promote intellectual, social, and cul- tural life, as well as loyalty to the University and its traditions. The council also controls rushing and pledging, serving as a coordinating body between the campus fraternities and the administration. Efforts of the council during the last year have been par- ticularly important as, with the aid of Dean of Men Raymond Manchester and University President George Bowman, the group opened the way for national fraternities.

Here Marty explains a problem to one of the twins. Everyone was quite interested in Sid ' s con- versation on the phone. What — or who — could be that important? The AE ' s always enjoy the impromptu music supplied by Phil and Shelly, but Jose ' pre- fers more professional music. fiM A LPHA EPSILON was still in its infancy during 1947-48, ■ - but signs of rapidly increasing vigor indicated at the outset of the year that AE was beginning to mature even before its second birthday. And it wasn ' t long before those omens began coming true. After having been tied together only by the bonds of friend- ship for many months, the fraternity succeeded in renting a house in September. From that day forward, there was little doubt that Alpha Epsilon was here to stay. That first month of school the fra- ternity was a small, well-knit group of sixteen men. Too small, indeed, to compete successfully in intramurals; but that didn ' t deter the AE ' s, who kept building for the future. October saw thirteen men pledge the fraternity, including a varsity footballer and the producer of No Time for Classes. Already in the group were men prominent in journalism, radio, debate, and almost every other department. Two dinners, the first in October and the second in No- vember, honored new members as they became pledges and actives of Alpha Epsilon. Dreamy music and dim lights in the beautiful ballroom of a leading hotel in Cleveland were the outstanding features of a highly successful formal dinner dance shortly before the end of the fall term. After several wartime years during which the junior classes did litde more than exist, an Alpha Epsilon member took over the reigns and guided the organization back to a place of im- portance in campus affairs. He also helped establish a campus chapter of the American Veteran ' s Committee. Outstanding originality which marked the sets of No Time for Classes was also largely the brainstorm of an AE man, art director of the musical show as well as a member of the Chestnut Burr art staff. In its brief life Alpha Epsilon has earned its position among the family of Kent State fraternities, and is meeting the al- ready-established standards of educational and social activity.

Those things come loose, you know. Olsen and Johnson had nothing on the local version, Kentzapoppin. It ' s things like this that make Homecoming a success. The living room seems big until everyone tries to invade it. Bill manages to concentrate on the game, even while everyone wants to get into the act. 166 TJAYING rent year after year isn ' t the best business policy • ■ in the world, a group of returning veterans quickly realized. Besides, they thought, to be most effective a fraternity should own its own house. Arriving at this decision, the determined group of Alpha Phi Beta men set about procuring funds to swing a purchase. They individually took advantage of veteran loan opportunities to borrow money which they in turn loaned to the fraternity. That accomplished, Beta set out to find a suitable home, and located the attractive house at 227 E. College Avenue. Ex- penditure of some cash and a lot of energy put the new home into tiptop shape, and 17 members of the fraternity now make it their Kent residence. Any Beta, though he realizes the difficulties of such a ven- ture, is convinced that it has been well worth the effort, for the house provides the site for the meetings, bull sessions, and social affairs which serve as an oudet for their enthusiasm. That vitality is apparent not only within the fraternity, but also in its relations toward the entire university community. When plans were announced for the University Memorial Stadium drive, the Betas were quick to offer aid. Within a matter of days they had announced their intention to give the drive every assistance. Shortly afterwards they combined with Gamma Phi Beta sorority to announce that they would co- sponsor an all-university dance, with all profits directed to the stadium fund. This action was not the first indication of the fraternity ' s interest in the university. For a number of years Alpha Phi Beta has presented the annual Manhood Key, awarded to the outstanding male graduate on the basis of scholarship, leader- ship, character, and courage. These, the Betas feel, are the things which make a full university life. FIRST ROW: Bob Cole, Ronald Thomas, Bill Thomas, Eugene Krent.

Mabel slips one under the counter in the new recreation room which is the pride of the Delts. Delt housemother, Mrs. Blanche Green, takes time out with her boys to go over their fa- vorite campus songs. 168 SIDELINE markers are usually difficult to see on Rockwell field, but on this particular fall evening, what with mud and the trample of hundreds of feet, no one was quite certain where they were. A large crowd of students craned their necks in an effort to be in on the kill and the markers were swal- lowed up in the tide. It was a tough battle. First one team of mud-smeared grid- der threatened and then the other, with neither team able to fight the mire effectively enough to punch through for a touchdown. Then, with seconds to go, a successful pass gave Delta Phi Sigma six points and another in its long string of athletic conquests. This was the case in intramurals, but the situation was the same in any varsity sport on the campus. Somewhere, on the field, standing on the sidelines waiting the go-ahead signal, or standing guard over water bucket and bandages, there was certain to be a Delt. The Athletic Fraternity — A good natured epithet that ' s long been applied to Delta Phi Sigma; a nickname of which they are quite proud, because it has been earned over a long period of years. In case anyone might suggest that athletes, according to tra- dition, are strong on brawn and short on brains, the Delts can prove otherwise. The president of the group served as a mem- ber of student council, the Kent Stater staff, and several other organizations, while a varsity basketballer abandoned the court for a term as editor-in-chief of the Daily Kent Stater. Eight men were active in Blue Key; five were named in Who ' s Who; a dozen or more won varsity athletic letters; and in almost every other club activity in which they participated Delts took over posts of leadership. Social life continued as usual, with such traditions as the Scummers Hop becoming ever more fir mly established with Delta Phi Sigma, whose cry of Hail, Men! can be heard coming from the house on the Columbus street hilltop.

W What ' s this? Most of the boys at home to- night? They must be campused. SLEEPY residents of a campus women ' s dormitory shivered their way to their windows, pulled aside the drapes, and knelt down to look upon a group of young men and women who had braved the cold to sing familiar Christmas carols which now rang across the frosty air. Carrying out one of its finest traditions was Gamma Tau Delta fraternity, which annually presents a yuletide serenade for campus dorms and sorority houses, assisted by the mem- bers of their sister sorority, Delta Gamma. But this was only one of the occasions when the brother- sister social groups cooperated in work and play. Together they planned and enjoyed swimming, skating, tobogganing, and in- formal pre-dance parties. Sunday evenings found Gammas dining at the Delta Gam house, or members of the sorority enjoying a meal and an evening of dancing and music at 202 N. Lincoln, long-time home of the Gammas. Immediately after returning to school last Fall, members of Gamma Tau Delta went to work on the project of redecorat- ing the fraternity house. Many hours and thousands of paint- brush strokes later, they proudly opened wide their doors, toss- ed out the welcome mat, and invited everyone on campus to survey their work. Visitors found a new soundproof ceiling, light green walls, an in-the-wall trophy case, and a leather-upholstered stairway — all outstanding features of the modernistic front room. Once again a local social fraternity began to make plans to go national. Like many other groups on campus, the Gammas had formerly been an educational fraternity as national Sigma Tau Gamma, and had made a good record on campus as a local. With this record behind them, and aided by the fact that they own their own house, they have moved toward nationali- zation slowly, waiting the moment when they might affiliate with one of the top nationals. They too want nothing but the best. FIRST ROW: Frederick Scadding, Robert Ryan, Germaine Swanson, Kenneth Webb.

T7 APPA MU KAPPA, the university ' s oldest fraternal or- JS. ganization, celebrated twenty-five years on campus last April with a gala Silver Jubilee all-university dance, attended by more than a thousand students. In honor of the anniversary, the fraternity planted a 25-foot larch tree near the concrete K on the front campus, placed there by the fraternity on a earlier occasion. On Campus Night the tree was surrounded by a large crowd eager to watch the painting of the K, which traditionally opens the KSU May Day activities. Fifty brothers of Kappa Mu Kappa, attired alike in black trousers, white shirts, fraternity emblems and golden sashes, marched from the house at 132 S. Lincoln across the street to the campus to start the ceremony. In a convertible sedan, following the marching KMK ' s, came the fraternity sweetheart and K-Girl, Marian Bruns of Alpha Xi Delta sorority. She officially touched off the Campus Day festivities by applying the first dab of white paint to the K. Retiring President Roy Apple and incoming prexy Wallace Krivoy completed the painting of the K, as fraternity mem- bers formed a large circle around the trio and sang KMK songs. Thus tradition-minded Kappa Mu Kappa continued one of the University ' s many colorful customs, while demonstrating the KMK ideal of a well-rounded fraternity; for in the circle around the K could be found campus leaders in athletics, politics, journalism, dramatics, scholarship, and other fields, including the Student Council president, University social chairman, a Kent Stater editor and outstanding thespians. Homecoming also was a successful day for the fraternity, as Kappa Mu Kappa won the trophy for the most original house decorations. The house was redecorated with modernistic painting, lighting and furniture in time to welcome the hun- dreds of fraternity alumni who had returned for the week-end. The year ' s achievements of Kappa Mu Kappa continued to be recorded in the KMK magazine Skull and Crossbones, sent to alumni as well as fraternity men on campus.

KAPPA SIGMA CHI m 210 South Willow St. RUDY RUZICH President WES KURTZ Vice-President JOHN BOTU Secretary ANTHONY THOMAS Treasurer A few of the boys offer a toast to one of their members who has just taken the big step — toward marriage. Here ' s one fellow who believes the old saying, Every KSU girl a queen. Looks like his buddies are more than a little interested, too. Bill points out a few things as the Kappa Sigs bed down among the books during mid-terms. TN 1931 a group of independent men decided that the Uni- - ■ versity could support another Greek organization. They had all been members of an independent club, enjoyed each other ' s friendship, and decided that rather than join an already-estab- lished fraternity they would found one of their own. Those first few years were an uphill struggle. When World War II came along and the fraternity was forced to become inactive, it was firmly established, but by no means a campus power. But in 1946 pre-war members began to return from the war, and they came back determined that things would be a little different. Kappa Sigma Chi fraternity was successful. Within a year the organization, now 16 years old, was right up at the top, scrambling for first place in campus fraternity leadership. In the spring of ' 47 the group continued its tradition of se- lecting a Kappa Sigma Chi sweetheart to reign at the Sweet- heart Dance. This year Carolyn Stofcho of Alpha Omega was chosen to carry on the tradition and reign over the affair. Meanwhile fraternity pledges added to student ' s musical education by throwing a jazz concert which drew swarms of hepcats to the auditorium. On the serious side, Kappa Sigs also were active. Lack of coordination between University organizations which resulted in widespread confusion gave rise ro a successful idea carried out by a Kappa Sig. The plan brought all campus leaders to- gether into a Council of Presidents organized to increase co- operation and suggest solutions to campus problems. Last Fall the fraternity took another Bunyanesque stride forward by purchasing its own house on South Willow Street. There, one step from a campus hangout and one block from the campus, the Kappa Sigs study and engage in the bull ses- sions which are such an important part of fraternity life.

Three of the boys are just relaxing while Jerry and Bob seem ro be preoccupied with other matters — could be studies, even. TWENTY-FOUR underprivileged children of Kent stared goggle-eyed at the huge Christmas tree, as if this were a little too much to believe. And among them, catering to their every wish, were the brothers of Phi Beta Phi, as pleased as the kids at the success of their annual Christmas party. This is the outstanding characteristic of Phi Beta Phi, its members believe. The fraternity prides itself on devotion to the interests of the university and the community. Other charitable activities this year included the fraternity trip with a group of children to a baseball game in Cleveland. Of course, in addition to the performance of these civic duties, the fraternity, like any other, has social life of its own. Shortly after the beginning of the new year the Phi Betas held their annual winter formal in Cleveland. Founded in 1938, the fraternity went inactive during the war, and was one of the first to be revived in the autumn of 1945 . Since then, Phi Beta Phi has been working — very suc- cessfully, the men believe — toward nationalization. The re- cently-redecorated house at 603 E. Main street, on the corner of University drive, is one strong material argument in their favor. During the last eighteen months, Phi Beta Phi has risen in general esteem on campus. Determination and tremendous energy and effort may have had something to do with this, for the fraternity carried off top honors last spring in both Pork Barrell and the Campus Night parade. A Phi Beta brother also won the 1947 Most Popular Man election. In February of this year the Memorial Stadium got the campus kick-off signal and once again it was a member of Phi Beta Phi who led the way: A Phi Beta member of the Student Stadium Committee took over the first day of the individual drive and guaranteed it a roaring start. But the Phi Beta Phi ' s still continue to predict This is only the beginning. With a firm background and a host of new pledges the gtoup is ready to hold its own. FIRST ROW: Richard E.

PHI GAMMA THETA Meeting at 122 Francis Dr. JACK URCHEK President TOM WILHELM Vice-President WARREN JEVNIKAR Secretary CHUCK LAFFERTY Treasurer Phigams go over plans for their big Winter project, featuring the Cleveland Browns ' movie. Watch out there, fella! Don t fall asleep. My, aren ' t these Sunday night sessions fun! Never thought life in a dull oV frat house could be like this. The Phigam paddle holds no fear for actives, safe in the basement rec room. But wait till those pledges are on the other end of the board! SINCE their inception in the spring of 1947, members of Phigammatheta looked forward to the time when they would be recognized by Inter-Fraternity council as a KSU local fraternity. Toward this end of proving themselves worthy, they were whole-heartedly behind one or another of the campus drives. Students attending Golden Flash home basketball games during the winter heard the Phigammathetas repeat their yell as they made the rounds selling refreshments. All profits were turned over to the stadium drive. This project was in addition to their distinction of being the first organization on campus to contribute cash to the fund. Professor Merle Wagoner became sponsor of the group immediately after it was founded, and a short time later Professor William Taylor became its advisor. Phigams realize that the aid of the two genial faculty members has been in- valuable during the first difficult year, and credit for the initial successes goes largely to these faculty men. Phigams are particularly proud of their advanced views concerning the responsibility of a fraternity. In their general plan of organization is included a cultural program designed to benefit the Phigam man in his associations with the univer- sity, fellow students, and his fraternity brothers. Youth has its drawbacks, but Phigammatheta has found its latent advantages as well. These include being able to start off on an entirely new program without fearing violation of what has gone before. Early in the Spring quarter the Phigams realized their fore- most immediate goal. On April 22, Inter-Fraternity council granted them recognition as a local campus fraternity and the Phigams became Phi Gamma Theta. fledging Greek organi- zation of the campus. Realizing this position, the Phi Gams are attempting to build a new conception of their fraternity life, and, along with it, new traditions. Its members are spurred by the hope that they will succeed and that soon Phi Gamma Theta will be a leading campus power. FIRST ROW: Bill Criswell, Len Price, Bob Evans.

Modern psychologists have many a time borne out this statement of Oliver Goldsmith, who perhaps was the first to realize that physical activity can aid the mind as well as the body. Excess exuberance of young newcomers to the campus finds an outlet in organized sports; older students take a little time off from their established routine of study to relax and keep physically fit: these are participants in the intramurals program. For a group with an entirely different purpose, the sport is the thing. These are the men who comprise the varsity squads — the few responsible for building the reputation of KSU in the eyes of other teams. Essentially, however, the purpose of intramural and varsity athletes is the same. Whether old or young, he-man or coed, all can forget everyday cares in the heat and good sportsmanship of athletic competition. Sports Ye a r 181 FIBST Row: J. Coll, F. Solak, W. Weir, N. Nelson, R.

Bill Weir, Jim Coll, Tom Kot, Jack Urchek, Wes Kurtz, Dick Paskert, and Larry Snyder closed the season with better than one for three aver- ages.

The Blue and Gold bested Mount Union College and Fenn College and were beaten by Bowling Green University, Case Tech, and Western Reserve in dual meets. In two triangular meets KSU finished in third place. Although every man on the team was participating in col- lege track for the first time, a host of new squad records were made. Dick Frame set a new mark in the 120-yard high hurdles, while Dick Mowery did the same in the 220-yard low hurdles; the high jump and pole vault records were broken by Tom Clark and Herm Speck respectively; and the 880-yard and mile relay teams shattered the previous record.

SWIMMING TEAM TjNJOYING the most successful season in the Uni- - — ' versity ' s history, the natators, coached by Wes Stevens, racked up an impressive nine wins as against only two losses in dual meets. The crack 400-yard freestyle relay team, composed of Tom Saltsman, Bill Osterlund, Walter Wojno, and Captain Don Wilson, won eight straight until Fenn handed them their first and only defeat of the season, to wind up the campaign with an impressive 10-1 record. At the end of the season, the mermen journeyed to Cleveland where they took fifth place in the Fenn relays. In the Ohio Conference meet at Oberlin, the tank- ers encountered better success. They placed no less than ten men in the finals and captured third place. The marked improvement in the squad can best be seen in comparison with the 1946-47 team which won only two meets out of twelve and placed but one man in the Ohio Conference finals to wind up in fifth place in the standings.

The season started rather shakily, but as the men gained experience and confidence their playing began to improve and KSU became the team to beat on the links. After dropping their opener to Denison, the golfers captured their next two matches and then lost a heartbreaker to Ohio University by one point. The team then found itself and embatked upon an eight-game winning streak which carried them to the end of the season. They gained revenge by trouncing Denison in a return match and went on to topple Western Reserve and K.S.U.C. twice, and Fenn, Hiram, and Mount Union once each.

NO other phase of athletics has accomplished more in the way of spreading the name of Kent State University than the Coach Joe Begala ' s wrestling teams. Since Coach Begala came to the Kent State campus his teams have ranked among the best in the country. The veteran mentor boasts one of the outstanding coaching records to be compiled. His squads have totalled 127 victories in 152 en- gagements, with one ending in a draw, for an over-all per- centage of .841 plus. Three of his teams have gone through the season undefeated, those of ' 35, ' 36, and ' 47. In inter-state competition, held annually in Cleveland, Be- gala ' s squads hold the edge in victories. In the eleven years of competition, Kent State has won the title no less than eight times, bettering outstanding entries from New York, Penn- sylvania, Michigan, Indiana, West Virginia, and Illinois. However, one of the marks which Begala prizes most is the Blue and Gold superiority over Ohio University in recent years. Prior to 1933, Ohio U. had a string of 17 consecutive years without a loss to a Buckeye state team. Begala, former captain of the Ohio U. team, broke that streak in his fourth year at Kent and has amassed a total of thirteen wins to two defeats since. Stressing rigorous physical training and practice, Coach Begala has proved that a team in shape is the team that wins. 186 WRESTLING TT 7RESTLING Coach Joseph Begala, genial, rotund pro- prietor of Begala Beach, managed to sctape togethet enough winning competitors to put togethet a ten-meet sched- ule for his 1948 grappling campaign. Shunned by larger schools, the Begalamen have had a hard time lining up opposition for the high-flying toe twisters. When the matchmaking is in full bloom, the Golden Flashes seem to find most of the best lurking in obscure, dark corners. Several name teams ventured out into the open and were immediately signed by the KSU grappling experts, along with some of the Buckeye teams. Chief among the big squads were Syracuse, Indiana State Teachers, Lock Haven ( Pa. ) State Teachers, Kansas State, and three formidable Ohi o teams. — Case Institute of Technology, Findlay, and Ohio University, Begala ' s alma mater. The Flashes went through their program with a total of eight wins against two setbacks — both by close decisions. Case turned the tables on the Golden Flashes, 15-13 early in the season and then the Orange of Syracuse performed an 18-8 operation on the Blue and Gold. Although the Begalamen lost to Case, they were still con- ceeded the Ohio State championship crown since the Tech team met only six Ohio competitors and lost to Ohio U. Promising freshmen, unable to perform in dual meets be- cause of Ohio conference rules, give the 1949 season a rosy outlook, along with several lettermen that Begala will have returning to the mat wars next year. Coach Joe Begala, whose wrestling squads have been consistently among the country ' s better teams, shows Gene Glass how to break the hold that Mike Slepecky has on him. Judging by the determined look on Slepecky ' s face, Glass isn ' t going to have an easy time of it. Bob Bader latching on to his Syracuse University opponent in the 165-pound match . . . That ' s Mike Milkovitch submarining under his Kansas State man in the 175-pound fracas. 187 VINCE VITAIE GENE GLASS JOHN MIIKCMTCW T_j EADING the impressive list of matmen returning last - - - - season were Gene Glass, who broke his wrist at the start of the 1946-47 season and was forced to the sidelines. Jack Shrimplin, Vince Vitale, Ray Bickler, Bob Bader, the Milko- vitch brothers, John and Mike, and a holdover from before the war, Mike Slepecky. Additional strength was found in Ignatius Russo, Dick Kline, much improved over the 1946-47 season, Joe Kloster- man, Dave Roth, Ralph Wilson, George Calogar. and Richard Mihaleye. Slepecky, interstate champion and national collegiate run- ner-up in 1941, re-entered KSU just before the grappling cam- paign opened and got into shape in time for the Baldwin Wallace fracas to further strengthen the Flashes ' mat hopes. The situation is reversed- Mike Slepecky, who usually does the pushing around, is getting a taste of the mat and how it feels in the Syracuse match — one of the two dual meets that Kent State lost last season. IGNATIUS RUSSO 188 ROBERT BADER JACK SHRIMPLIN MIKE SLEPECKY JOE KLOSTERMAN jr VT 7INDING up their season with ten victories as against two defeats, the Begalamen also finished the year by win- ning seventy of their ninety-six bouts, and tallied 280 points to their opponents seventy-six. In KSU ' s attempt to repeat as the Interstate champs, the grapplers placed five men in the semi-finals but failed to gain a first and fell into a tie for fourth place. However, they fared better in the Northeastern Ohio dis- trict AAU meet and walked off with second place. Only two veterans entered the meet. They teamed up with freshmen Tom Hanson, Gil Montague, Gil Dubray. Armando Caperna, and Nathan Simon. In the National Junior AAU tourney, Mike Milkovich won the 175-pound championship while Montague and Dubray notched second places. The referee gives John Milkovitch two points for a takedown during the match with Syracuse University. John is busy trying — rather successfully — to tie up his opponent and bring his shoulders to the mat to score a pin and garner another five points for KSU. RALPH WILSON 189 MIKE MILKOVITCH In a huddle with his assistants, head coach Trevor Rees maps out a plan of strategy. The coaches are; Wes Stevens, line coach; George Lynn, freshman mentor; Rees; Harry Adams, end coach; and Karl Chestnutt, line coach. HHHBnUffiSnSMV89f Did he make the badly needed first down? In a tense moment of a crucial game even the substitutes sitting on the bench claim their share of the conflict and suspense that their teammates on the field are enduring. 190 In the office or on the held, Trevor Rees directs the university ' s athletic program to provide facilities and instruction for all phases of sports activities. AS the football squad trots onto the field in the opening game of the season, spectators see the finished product of weeks of arduous physical team traini ng. They also see the culmination of months of strenuous work accomplished by the university ath- letic office. Scheduling of games, transportation difficulties, hours of paper work — these and various other tasks constituted only the smallest part of the momentous job of organizing a football team. But as the autumn season came the plans shaped into reality. Little problems were still to be ironed out, but in the main football was here and the hours of effort began to show results. Leading KSU ' s second postwar team was energetic young Trevor Rees with his capable assistants Harry Adams, Karl Chestnutt, Wes Stevens, Joe Begala, and a newcomer from Ohio State University, George Lynn, who headed the freshman football squad. With the emphasis on stronger and better football teams, coach Rees dropped from his schedule several breather opponents. Turning to more formidable foes, Rees scheduled such recognized football powers as Miami University and Youngstown College. The need for a stadium became more apparent as only two games were scheduled for the home field. But spirited student effort combined with help from local business groups and alumni aid gave clear in- dication of adequate stadium facilities for the next football season. 191 Mount Union. Even T N the first collegiate football game to be played in Canton ' s Fawcett stadium, an opening day throng of 13,000 spec- tators witnessed the inauguration of Kent State ' s new era in football with its brother combination of Tommy and Leo Kot passing their way to a 13-6 victory over a highly favored Mount Union eleven. Halftime ceremonies were highlighted by the performance of the Cleveland Brown ' s Musical Majorettes, led by George Red Bird. Kent State ' s newly-organized Booster Club sponsored a foot- ball train, the first in the history of the university, and carried 397 student members to and from the game. ent ... 13 Mount Union 6 Virg Roman ' s right toe punches the pigskin tru its way bock to Kent from the Bowl, to return li nder the arc lights at the Rubber Bowl.

Kent State ' s lone touchdown came in the third period when quarterback Neal Nelson tossed a ten-yard pass to halfback Bob Beachy who scampered the two remaining yards for the score. Outplaying their hosts in every statistical department, the Redskins, led by All-Ohio quarterback Mel Olix and left halfback Ara Parseghian, compiled an overwhelming total of 293 yards rushing to the Flashes ' s 132.

Dropping the pigskin seven times — four times within easy striking range of the Scot goal — the Flashes literally gave the game away and slipped into ninth place in the Ohio conference standings. Led by the steady ground-gaining of Wib Little and Paul Sweeney and the passing of Bob Beachy, KSU compiled more than twice the yardage that Wooster did.

Playing the brand of football which earned him All-Ohio honors, Little romped through the hapless Hornets for touch- down runs of 67 and 20 yards after three scoreless quartets.

A crowd of 14,195 fans packed the Rubber Bowl to witness Wib Little again display his usual stellar brand of ball by out- racing the entire Akron team for 78 yards and the only score of the night.

Youngstown 13 ' I ' HE Golden Flashes closed their season with a dismal note - - as they bowed before the Youngstown College Penguins, 13-0. An overflow crowd of 14,000 packed Rayen Stadium in Youngstown expecting to see a running duel between Wib Little and Youngstown ' s Al Campana but saw only half of it. While Campana ran roughshod to score both of the Pen- guin ' s touchdowns, one on a 76-yard jaunt, Little was held to a total of only eleven yards net rushing by the powerful Youngstown line. With the passing of Neal Nelson and the running of Paul Sweeney, Kent twice drove within easy scoring range but failed to tally. BASKETBALL Aiding the basketball squad is assistant coacb Karl Chesnutt. HARRY ADAMS Basketball coach J 200 The visitors from John Carroll wear a look of grim determination as they close in on Leroy Thompson who is about to take a header into the mat. Harry Anderson seems to have let the ball slip through his fingers while the Baldwin-Wallace players are making a futile attempt to grab it. QTARTING his second year as head basketball coach, Harry Adams formed the nucleus of the squad from six returning lettermen from the 1947 team which won 13 games in 24 starts. Fred Klaisner, 1947 all-conference third team choice, Leroy Peoples, Dale Haverstock, Leroy Thompson, Harry Anderson, and Bill Sudeck composed the foundation of a hardwood team that was to compile the second best record in the university ' s history. Among the other candidates that responded to Adams ' call, Jerry Amico, Lenny Price, George Fulton, John Collver, and Hank Urycki, by virtue of their playing prowess, distinguished themselves as varsity material. From the first day of practice to the final minute of the last game it seemed that the team was on. Although the squad had its bad moments, some of which resulted in the loss of a game or two, it could not be denied that the 1948 hardwooders were good. For the first time in the university ' s basketball history the Flashes led the Ohio conference pack at the halfway mark of the season but the jinx team, Mount Union, toppled them from the top of the heap by defeating the Blue and Gold three times out of as many encounters. On the other hand, the basketballers bested their arch-rivals, Akron University, twice during the season for the first time since the 1940-41 campaign and shattered the Zippers ' nine- game win streak over KSU. Big Leroy Thompson led the squad in points scored with 238 counters but was hard pressed by Dale Haverstock who ended the season with 224 tallies; in all, six men finished with points over the century mark. Thompson and Haverstock, both eligible for the coming season, were awarded All-Ohio berths on the 1948 squad. 201 JERRY AMICO Forward IEN PRICE Guard Leroy Thompson looks as if he is going to be successful in pushing the ball through the hoop while Mount Union looks on. Thompson is being assisted by Jerry Amico. DALE HAVERSTOCK Guard T TARRY ANDERSON netted fourteen points to give the • ■ - 1 - Flashes a one-sided 59-39 win over Ashland in their opening game, but the team was then edged out by Western Reserve, 50-45. Experimenting with a zone defense, the Adamsmen abandoned it too late to salvage a victory. Entering the win column again with an easy victory over Muskingum, the Flashes ran up a streak of five wins before being stopped by a powerful Xavier quintet, 60-52. The Blue and Gold then ran in reverse and lost four con- tests in a row. A tremendous rally in the final quarter of the Baldwin-Wallace game almost broke the losing streak at three but it fell short and the Flashes lost by three points. The skidding cagers journeyed to Akron for a return match with the Zippers and managed to score one more point than did Akron to once more come out on the long end of the score. But the losing streak was enough to drop Kent from the Ohio conference lead. eason ' s record KSU 59 Ashland 39 KSU 45 Western Reserve 50 KSU 76 Muskingum 68 KSU 58 Youngstown 53 KSU 61 Albion 55 KSU 38 Mt.

Supported by Fred Klaisner, who tossed in fourteen points, the Flashes jumped to an early eight- point lead until the Falcons ' reserves saved the game for the regulars. After beating John Carroll and enjoying a 74-47 field day against Kenyon, in which Dale Haverstock dropped in nineteen points, the cagers took on a much favored Baldwin- Wallace aggregation in a return bout and, sparked by John Collver and Leroy Peoples, eked out a 53-49 win in KSU ' s last home game. Taking to the road for their three remaining games, the Flashes journeyed to Tiffin and coasted by the Princes of Heidelberg but were handed a loss by the Baldwin- Wallace Yellow Jackets in their third meeting of the season by another three-point margin. The John Carroll Blue Streaks were never a threatening factor as KSU romped 76-60, to end the season victoriously. 203 BOB HERSMAN Center ' TPHE battle with John Carroll not only marked the end of - - the basketball season but terminated the playing careers of two great athletes, Bill Sudeck, and Harry Anderson. Sudeck, a senior, completed his fourth season of varsity ball and was the first KSU athlete to receive four awards in a single sport. He retired with at least two records to his credit. His four-year total of 779 points is the highest scored by a Flash eager, and his thirty-four points against Kenyon in 1945 re- mains as the individual high mark. Anderson, a sophomore star, became ineligible for another season because of the AAU purity code which prohibits the participation of any professional athlete in college sports. Anderson is a member of the Chicago White Sox baseball chain. 204 IN REVIEW ' THE students of Kent State University could look back on J- the 1947-48 basketball campaign with the greatest satis- faction and pride; not only had it been one of the most success- ful basketball seasons but it had furthered the university ' s policy of endeavoring to inaugurate the new era in athletics. Anticipating the future seasons, coach Harry Adams is ful- filling well his part in the momentous task of increasing the university ' s athletic prowess. Although it was Adams ' job to turn out winning teams he did not ignore the quality of sportsmanship in his men. The Kent State basketball team was conspicuous in its splendid dis- play of sportsmanship. On many occasions comment on the clean, hard playing of KSU ' s cagers was brought to the atten- tion of coach Adams as well as the university students and faculty. This rightful praise is even deeper in magnitude because of the fact that the Flashes continue to live up to their ideals when off the court and on the campus. And so it is with all of Kent State ' s varsity sports; win, lose or draw, the opponent leaves the game knowing that the team he has just been in competition with has fought hard and bat- tled every inch of the way — but has played the game clean. Feinting the Youngstown guard out of position, Jerry Amico dribbles past him and down the court. Running in to help out is big Leroy Thompson. The hosts from Albion are fouling each other in an attempt to see who gets possession of the ball. Hank Urycki stands ready to move in. 205 MEN ' S INTRAMURALS A NOTHER year of intramural directing was attributed to ■ Vic Moore, who guided and directed all phases of com- petition between the various fraternities and independent groups on campus. Maintaining its claims as the athletic fraternity, the Delta Phi Sigma ' s gloried in the limelight of intramural sports ac- tivity. The Delts downed the Godfrey Gophers, independent group winners, in the all-university gridiron championship tilt, 13-2 and then captured the all-university basketball championship by edging out Phigammatheta club in the finals, 41-35. In other sports Jim Kline gained the undisputed title as KSU ' s top tennis player by capturing the school tennis championship twice in succession. Kappa Mu Kappa ' s wrestlers took the interfraternity mat crown in the grappling tourney while Kappa Sigma Chi fraternity stroked its way to first place in the Greek swimming championships. Gamma Tau Delta Jim Luli at the net spots a high one in volleyball competition against the Kappa Sigs. Individual tennis play-offs find Jim Kline and Bob Chambets matched in the finals, later won by Kline. Bill Knight, Delta Phi Sigma coach, goes into a huddle with his team during the championship contest. The Delts won the all-University grid crown from the Godfrey Gophers, independent champs. Sharks Club swimmers are poised on the edge of the home pool as they prepare for a practice relay, in anticipation of later competition. There ' s always a fraternity brother at home with the rubbing alcohol to come to the rescue of those who insist on trying out their armchair theories on basketball through intramural games. 207 WOMEN ' S INTRAMURALS UNDER the auspices of the Women ' s Athletic Association board composed of representatives from each sorority and dormitory, University women engage in athletics in a pro- gram correlated to men ' s intramurals. Making their bid for the trophy awarded to the organization compiling most points by the end of the school year, the Alpha Xi Delta ' s took a clean sweep of the ping pong tourney. Gamma Phi Beta sorority jumped to the lead in the trophy race by winning the volleyball and badminton championships. The bowling tournament was won by Beta Gamma sorority, while the Off-Campus Girls, an independent organization, bested all opposition to emerge victorious in the basketball finals. Advised by Miss Beverly Seidel, instructor in physical edu- cation, the WAA strives to present a suitable intramural ath- letic program in which any woman in residence is eligible to participate. Off-campus, dormitory, and sorority groups were sponsors of basketball teams duting the heated Winter season. The Off-Campus gals, an independent group, won the coed championship.

Thousands of school boys habitually squirm in their seats each afternoon, eager to rush to the nearest empty lot. As youngsters grow older the heat and dust of the ball diamond give way at four o ' clock to club rooms, where far- sighted University students learn to supplement and enrich their classroom ex- periences through a variety of social, religious, and intellectual activities. Unwieldy size has lessened class feeling. The comparatively advanced age of most veteran-students has decreased interest in childish frivolity. Class spirit, however, is not completely gone; neither is fraternal loyalty. Rather, strength of both groups has given way to something finer, as ma- ture students recognize the wisdom of mental expansion through extra-curricular activity. The four o ' clock bell has taken on a new meaning. Organizations 211 FIRST Row: Miriam Pugh, Marion Lemponen. Jeri Petzel, Beery Faulds.

Officers include Nick Bozeka, president; Terry Pugliese, vice-president; Fe lice Faust, secretary; and Jim Bullock, treasurer. Membership in Alpha Psi Omega is through accumulated points gained by work in radio or theater, either on or off stage. Thirteen speech students were active this year. TV It ILEAGE record set in representing Kent State through- -L -L out the nation invariably is set by members of Pi Kappa Delta, national honorary speech organization. Most important debates this year were held at Bowling Green State University, scene of the national convention. But debaters also gave up vacations and week-ends to travel to Virginia and many of the Great Lakes states to compete ver- bally with students from other schools. A new accent was introduced by Pi Kappa Delta to the KSU stage early in the fall, when Kent State debaters Warren Lashley and Roger Howard argued the international court system with two English college students. Lashley was Pi Kappa Delta president this year, with Betty Cibula vice-president; Miriam Pugh, secretary; and Roger Howard, treasurer. James N. Holm, a charter member of the honorary, was faculty advisor. HONOR ARI ES FIRST Row: Dorothea Helman, Jean DePompei, Rella Muntean.

ZETA IOTA Women ' s Business Honorary PSI LAM MICRON TAISTINGUISHED women in the field of business are guests on the campus each month under the auspices of Zeta Iota, women ' s business honorary. To give women in business administration inspiration and intimate knowledge of the professional world, Zeta Iota ar- ranges these events primarily for the benefit of the twenty members of the honorary. Election to membership is mainly on the basis of scholastic achievement. A local organization since its beginning eight years ago, Zeta Iota is working toward national affiliation soon. Guiding this program is President Marian Zapka. Other officers include Lois Webb, vice-president; Betty Hess, secretary; and Jean DePompei, treasurer. Social events on the Zeta Iota calendar were highlighted by an evening ' s entertainment for women students in business administration and business education. A WOMAN ' S place may still be in the home, but to mem- ■ ' ■ ■ bers of Psi Lambda Omicron a home will be more than the old-fashioned routine of cooking and mending. Coeds in the Kent State home economics honorary take part in regional conferences which reveal the latest developments in specialized fields, such as quantity cookery, textiles, and nutrition. Good scholarship at home is encouraged by the Psi Lambda Omicron award presented each spring to the woman in home economics who holds the highest cumulative point average. The group also regularly buys a bond, which is added to the home ec scholarship fund. A news letter keeps former mem- bers in touch with the department and honorary, organized in 1940. Officers were Norma Jenkins, president; Bonnie Avant, secretary; and Joy Brand, treasurer.

Ruth Davidson is entertainment and program chairman, with John Burgess as secretary-treasurer. Dr. Raleigh M. Drake, depart- ment head, is faculty advisor. Working in the campus psychology clinic provides prac- tical experience for Psi Chi members, who discuss their ex- periments and observations at monthly meetings of the hon- orary. With a membership of forty-three, the club is one of the largest campus honoraries. Kent State ' s chapter of Psi Chi was founded in March of 1944. Combined with special projects and outstanding pro- fessional speakers are annual social events. PHI SI XI T7 VERY major field of interest in the world of science is - — ' covered by activities of Phi Sigma Xi honorary. Ad- vancements in chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics are reported and discussed at the group ' s bi-monthly meetings, and specialists in the various fields explain findings of na- tionally-known researchers. Accomplishments in research and development are brought to public attention by open house weeks each spring. Each of the four science divisions exhibits its work under the direc- tion of the twenty-five members of Phi Sigma Xi. After spending hours in the laboratory, students who find time to be officers are William Wolf, president; Virginia Straight, vice-president; Donald Shook, secretary; and Kenneth Marty, treasurer.

Through this national edu- cation honorary thirty-seven students and nineteen faculty members keep abreast of changes in educational theory and practice. Kappa Delta Pi recognizes outstanding scholarship in the immediate area at its spring Scholarship Tea for students with point averages of B plus or better. Lectures throughout the year also emphasize methods of attaining top learning ability, from the point of view of the teacher as well as of the student. Charles Mihalko heads Kappa Delta Pi, with Marie Heupel vice-president, and June Derks secretary. Miss Heupel and Augustine Cosentino represented the local chapter at the biennial national convocation in Atlantic City. THETA TJ EPRESENTATIVES of nine colleges and universities of - - - Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania were guests of the KSU Psi Chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, national history honor- ary, at this winter ' s regional conference. Fundamental plans for the week-end meetings were made by club officers Rella Muntean, president; Robert Lengacher, vice-president; Barbara Ashby, secretary; and James Kenski, treasurer. Dr. Gertrude Lawrence continued her work as ad- visor. Phi Alpha Theta members are junior and seniors who have taken at least eighteen hours of history, with grades of B or better. Formed from the local historical society, the Kent State chapter was organized in 1938. Highlight of the regional conference on campus was the luncheon lecture by Dr. Earl Pomeroy, editor of the national publication The Historian. HONORARIES 220 LUB A LL the mystery and colorful excitement of a New ■ - Orleans Mardi Gras and other traditional dances done in disguise was poured into the only original campus dance — the Masque Ball. Sponsored as an annual project by the Art Club, the ball drew human cameras and salt shakers, animals, fan dancers, and bewhiskered college professors. Adding to the lively atmosphere were the decora- tions of Wills Gym which transformed the bare brick walls into underground caverns and fish-infest- ed pools. This wasn ' t the only decorating job done by Art Club members, however. The group ' s most effective contribution to University social activities was the dressing of the gym and Moulton Hall music room for dances and other special occasions. Drawing from a good background of design, color, and construction, artists of the campus helped pleasure-seeking students to forget that tonight ' s dance floor would again be a tiresome classroom in the morning. Talks by prominent persons in the art and busi- ness world were featured at weekly Art Club meet- ings. Open forums on student work and current out- side exhibitions also gave critical students a chance to air their views. President of the club, open to all students, was Glen McFarland. William Pistner was vice-president, Richard Pope secretary, and treasurer of the group was A. W. Christenson. Forty-one art students and enthusiasts were club members this year.

ORCHESTRA TJETURN from service of Director Kenneth Byler - - - brought new life to the Kent State Orchestra, as it was merged by the leader with seasoned mu- sicians of the local civic group. With re-enforcement by faculty and local players, the orchestra gave its annual winter concert, com- plete with Beethoven ' s difficult eighth symphony and works in the strictly modern vein. A better audience than usual was proof that orchestral music can be popular with students. Kenneth Byler Director 223 •ff f f t i I t 9 I V . ■ 1 1 n ■ SD .- FIRST ROW: I. Brodbeck, M. Orr, C.

A CAPPELLA CHOIR T N spite of financial difficulties which curtailed the ■ - size of potential audiences, the A Cappella Choir has achieved heights acclaimed by professional critics as unparalleled in college circles. Credit for the pre- cise beauty of the choral work went to Director Caro M. Caraperyan, himself a perfectionist. Concerts in every major northeastern Ohio city prepared the way for the completely successful Sever- ance Hall program in Cleveland in April. Caro M. Carapetyan Director 224 r T , RAINING ground for the professional-caliber A Cappella Choir is the University Chorus, under the same director as the main group. Caro M. Carape- tyan leads both choruses in nearly identical songs, so when the beginning voices have reached the choir standard students can make the jump without learn- ing too much new music at once. For the first time the chorus had a part in a regular choir program. Beginning voice students sang two classical compositions at the beginning of the main Easter program. Working with only ten voices, Director Carapetyan also leads the first Kent State madrigal chorus. Prac- tice sessions are held with singers seated around a table, and music goes back to the days of traveling musicians who improvised as they walked throughout Europe. The madrigal singers took part in the spring choir concert in the auditorium. FIRST Row; Maijorie Barrett. Maxine Evelyn, Marjorie Sprott, Barbara Lilley, Irene Brodbeck.

When the Don Cossack Chorus sang at KSU, the club pre- sented Serge Jaroff and his singers with a scroll in recognition of their work to aid Russo-American feeling. Victor Pogorzelski was president, aided by Al Zetts, William Moore, June Nemeth, and Mary Smerek. Bernard Mikofsky was faculty advisor of the new group. RUSSIAN ARTS CLUB 226 TT ENT STATE UNIVERSITY this winter was granted a - - chapter of the national Society for the Advancemenr of Management, as the first big step toward nation-wide recog- nition of the nine management curricula.

Women ' s League helped keep campus co-eds in contact with new look demands. The male presidents of university organizations were guests at a banquet in March sponsored by Men ' s Union. C ' VERY woman on campus is represented through the - — ' Women ' s League, made up of members of each coed or- ganization. With its brother group. Men ' s Union, the League co-spon- sors Pork Barrel, the annual skit competition. Other big events under Women ' s League supervision are the Big-Little Sister Tea for freshmen women, held early in the Fall, and the senior women ' s banquet each May. A spring formal and fashion show also were given by the service league this year. Special problems concerning Kent State coeds are brought to the attention of Student Court, conducted by Women ' s League. Jean Goncher was acting president this year, with Virginia Block as vice-president, Margaret Boone secretary, and Phyllis Robbins treasurer. FIRST ROW: William Byrne, Dean Raymond E.

MEN ' S UNION ' THOUSANDS of students and alumni cram the auditorium ■ - for the annual Pork Barrel; but as they enjoy themselves from the audience ' s viewpoint few spectators realize the back- stage work which goes into each individual skit. Planning of rehearsals, the final program, judges, and other infinitesimal details is done by Women ' s League and the men ' s corresponding group, Men ' s Union. Robert Duncan, Men ' s Union president, and his group of officers led the way in Pork Barrel plans in which nearly four hundred students took part. Ordering and presenting of trophies were also in the hands of the MU. In addition to this one big affair, Men ' s Union tries to offer advice to freshmen when asked, and regulates the few rulings applicable to male students. An annual dinner each spring awards outstanding service to KSU.

Assembly committee of the council was responsible for the appearance of such noted speakers as William Holliday. president of Standard Oil Company. Bobby Sherwood and his orchestra came to Wills Gym for the traditional Top Hop presented by the social committee of Student Council. COUNC PTUDENT COUNCIL, under the leadership of Thomas Davey, president, this year attempted not only to cement relations among various student-faculty committees, but to strengthen the ties of Kent State with schools in surrounding counties. During the year the group was called upon to intercede in the Radio Workshop dispute, the problem of a $ 1,500 surplus in allocating funds, and the matter of late hour permits for women on campus. Traditional campus elections, such as Miss Kent State, Most Popular, and Council elections themselves, also were handled during the year. Robert Duncan, SC vice-president, was at the head of the elections committee. Matilda Davis served as secretary, Jean Goncher represented the group on Allocations Committee and acted as treasurer, and Roy Newsome handled the duties of the chairman of the social committee. Constitutional inadequacies, often the cause of confusion in student government, came up for discussion, although no con- crete action was taken toward revision. Toward the end of the year contact with the University of Akron was established, and several joint activities planned, with an eye toward heralding a new era of inter-campus friend- ship. Council meetings continued to draw student interest to one of the most independent college government systems. 230 First Row: Terry Pugiiese, Martha Lansinger, Doris Heupel, William Hugo.

Martha Lansinger is chairman of the group and Doris Heupel secretary. Each quarter the committee distributes available funds among the departments. The amount usually is well over $20,000. AN entirely new organizational system has made ■ ■ - the Inter-Religious Council vital to Kent State this year, by bringing local ministers closer to student members of their churches. Twenty-one representatives on the Council meet bi-monthly and work regularly in aiding Reverend Donald Barss and Reverend Laten Carter in their student ministerial chores. Robert White heads the Council and Maxine Evelyn is secretary of the co-ordinating group. ALLOCATION COMMITTEE TER-RELIGIOUS COUNCIL First Row : Myron Pearson, Richard Scholle.

Q YMBOLIC of the universal good-will they foster - ' is the coordinated work of the campus chapters of the Young Men ' s and Young Women ' s Christian Associations. Although the groups have separate rosters of of- ficers, they work together in promoting spiritual and devotional meetings. Rosemary Morris heads the YWCA, with Robert White as YM president. The men ' s group meets every two months for com- bination business-social-spiritual meetings, while the coed group holds weekly sessions. These are occu- pied by special projects, including writing to stu- dents in foreign lands and collecting used greeting cards for children ' s hospitals. An appreciation tea was given for faculty wives and professors who contributed funds to send delegates to the Geneva conference in Wisconsin.

Jack Hague was president of the Foundation, which has as its headquarters the Kent Christian Church. Maxine Evelyn was vice-president, Harry Higley treasurer, and Lois Webb secretary. Weekly meetings are open to all campus students, and take the form of religious discussions and worship services. Area ministers are often guests of the Foundation and take part in convocations. Although the Christian Foundation was inactive during the war, the addition of the Reverend A. Laten Carrer to the group as official advisor put the religious club back on its feet. The minister is one of two pastors available on campus for con- sultation at any time. Christian Foundation co-sponsored the flower booth which won first place for them in the independent category of the Penny Carnival contest.

NEWMAN CLUB TJUTTING to active use the strong fraternal feel- r ing among Catholic students on campus, the New- man Club grew this year as it continued to promote this feeling of brotherhood within the religion. Roy Newsome was president of the several hundred Newman Club members, who met bi-weekly at the local church of their faith for short worship services and social affairs. Two formal dances highlighted the year, as they began and ended the academic season cheerfully. News of approaching meetings and personal items among club members was spread through the columns of the Newmanite, monthly newspaper. In addition to its insertion in the mail box of each member, the paper was mailed to alumni. Kenny Haina was the Newmanite editor. Serving with Newsome on the executive board were Frank Zima, vice-president; Kathryn Hosfeld, secretary; and Richard Ellers, treasurer. First Rom : A. DiClaudio, J. Rocko. J. Cook, E. SerceJj. P.

Harold Province heads the cabinet, with officers Myron Pearson, Violet Miller, and William Hugo aiding Minister Donald E. Barss in planning events. As a member of the Ohio Methodist Student Move- ment the KSU Wesley group was represented at state and national conferences. A Leap Year Carnival-Dance at the end of Febru- ary was the main social event, although each weekly meeting ended in a social hour. Needy children and families in Kent and throughout Europe were aided by Wesley contributions, all fully reported in the chapter newspaper. National fraternities for Metho- dist men and coeds were begun through Wesley. Audrey and Janice do a bit of fast salesmanship at their Golden Earrings booth. The jewelry was made by Kappa Phi coeds. Reverting to their second childhoc Wesleyites, complete with lollvpop Mary Altman and Cecelia Elson go through a for- tune telling seance, although neither coed seems very convinced about the whole thine. Top Slater editors conferring Nvith Fall editor Robert Lengacher, seated, are Morion Cole, John Finn, Robert Weymueller, and Robert Wentz. 236 AS the only Ohio newspaper published four times ■ ■ ■ weekly from a campus the size of KSU, the Daily Kent Stater required nearly full-time work by a staff of dozens of workers in order to maintain the standard of complete coverage. Three editors took over the Stater reins this year, replacing the two who formerly worked under the old semester plan. Robert Lengacher headed the campus daily during the Fall, followed by John Finn, Winter, and Robert Casey, Spring. Front page news and make-up men varied from term to term, with Robert Weymueller, Robert Wentz, Marion Cole, Larry Vitsky, and Donald Koer- lin putting in the most time in the slot. Society editors included Gloria Sherrets, Betty Rowlen, Jeanne Wolfe, and Eleanor Meek. Sports fans often saw the by-lines of sports editors George Heaslip, Al Weekley, and Bill Schlemmer. Carol Hart did most of the reporting of political af- fairs, with Al Post handling many features. Miss Cole was music-theater critic. Routine of putting the paper to bed continued as it had for many years, with a new set of editors and reporters handling each day ' s news almost before it happened. A crew of copy boys ran news ma- terial between the Merril Hall office and the down- town print shop, and it was late at night before each final inky page proof was pulled. Business Manager William Hugo served for two terms with Angeline Scourcos taking over in the spring as the first post-war woman business head. With a separate staff of advertising and circulation managers they kept the paper in the black. The Kent Stater again took honors at the Ohio Scholastic Press Association, and was represented at a national conference in the Fall. 237 b r i ■■THE 1948 CHESTNUT BURR A SMALL, compact staff ttained at consistently uniform writing and photography made this year ' s Chestnut Burr, which boasts the highest number of pages yet published as a Kent State yearbook. Starting early in the Spring of 1947, Editor Frank Carioti, Jr., and his business manager, Robert Magee, plotted general section lay-outs and deadlines as they consulted with national- ly-known printers and engravers before letting the expensive contracts. First associate editor in several years was Marion Cole, who handled all copy and was general production manager. Harlan McGrail was held over from last year ' s Burr as art editor, and Richard Arnold headed the photo crew. John Stage did most of the portrait photography. Audrie Fornshell handled the highlights section, with Eleanor Meek doing classes, Philip Dempsey, sports, and Anne Domiter, the Greek Section. John Laurenson and David Kap- lan worked on the business side, bringing in advertising reve- nue. Burr staff members received awards at the annual Publi- cations Banquet, shared with the Stater staff. General staff members included Sue Lieberman, Burr Secretary Stella Trautz, Shirley Marks, Marion Del Vecchio, and Lee Sproat. Roger Baeie, Gordon Goldsmith, Doris Carpenter, and Ernest Rowland held staff positions as general photographers. FOURTH E STAT SELF-APPOINTED publicity agents for the School of Jour- nalism are the members and officers of the Fourth Estate, local club for journalists patterned on the national group of newspaper writers. Working directly under Professor William D. Taylor, School Head, Fourth Estate officers included Robert Wentz, president, Larry Vitsky, Eleanor Meek, and Dan Oana. All of the three hundred journalism majors automatically belonged to the group and participated in group projects. In conjunction with their mission as a service group, members of the Fourth Estate acted as volunteer ushers and general helpers at the annual Short Course in News Photog- raphy during Spring vacation, and did a similar job at the June sessions for public relations executives. A representative of the group was chairman of the annual Northeastern Ohio Scholastic Press Clinic which attracted high school journalists. An executive committee did most of the planning, as mem- bers of each campus publication met with Fourth Estate of- ficers to foster good fellowship within the school. 240 STUDENTS with nationality backgrounds from the Orient, Russia, India, Greece, and every other major country of the world discuss their problems openly at meetings of the Inter- national Relations Club. Founded during the war years when people were afraid to discuss these nationality questions openly, the club continues to draw nearly fifty members to authoritative lectures and debates.

TJOST at the 1948 Buckeye Debate Tournament, largest - 1 - ■ - Ohio speech contest, was the KSU Student Forensic Association, connected with the School of Speech. FORENSIC CLUB Exhibition debates in area high schools and Ohio inter- collegiate events were sponsored by the local group, headed by student forensics director Warren Lashley. Women mem- bers of the debate team won first place in their division of the Ohio Conference in December. Other events attended were Grand National Debate Tour- nament in Virginia and the national honorary tourney. 241 FIRST Row: Roger Howard, Martha Lansinger, Margaret Prentiss. Margaret Boyle.

ONLY group devoted exclusively to activities for non- Greeks is the Independent Students Association, headed for the majority of the year by Roger Howard. In spite of a number of political upsets, the ISA managed to put three members in the class presidents ' chairs and sev- eral others in Student Council. Political chairman was David Kaplan, and other officers included Warren Lashley, vice- president, Margaret Boyle, secretary, and Verne Lochert, treas- Unusual Fall decorations by Ruthann Shelar helped make the Autumn Nocturn dance a success the last week in Oc- tober. Equally popular was the Holiday Prelude pre-Christ- mas dance which highlighted the Winter term ' s social ac- tivities for independent students. Professors did a turn-about for the ISA-sponsored Faculty Stunt Night, as once-dignified instructors put on slapstick and dance skits in the Hub. ISA also kept the Hub decorated throughout the year as one of its projects. ISA committee members put notices of election candidates into independent students ' mailboxes. Eileen and Peg concentrate hard-on an after-meeting bridge game as their partners check the score. The way to a man ' s heart is through his stomach, they say, so ISA members are kept well fed at one of the informal parties. The gals seem to be doing okay, too. ' k ■««£ ' K - BOOSTER CLUB SETTLING down to serious business after the in- itial frenzy of membership drives and publicity campaigns, the Booster Club spent an active Fall ar- ranging for transportation of members to off-campus games. The remainder of the year, after the close of the football season, was taken up with special events sponsored by the Boosters to foster more interest and spirit in campus varsity athletics. A twenty per cent membership increase over last year was registered as the total reached 1,200 mem- bers. Main financial event was a benefit boxing match, which netted more than S500. Half the profits went to the Stadium Fund. Al Weekley was Booster president. Officers in- cluded Joan McDermott, Sallie Wheeler, Sam Dudra.

ELEMENTARY EDUCATION CLUB QERVING special interests of men and women in the ele- k - ' mentary education field is the club of that name, founded in 1941. Related subjects are thoroughly discussed at monthly meetings, and speakers included well-known area educators as well as members of the faculty. President Eileen Smith headed the officers, who were Beverly Jenkins, Norma Davis, and Betty Stewart. Miss Susan Koehler was faculty advisor. Dean Robert I. White spoke at the February dinner which highlighted the year ' s social activities. NE of the oldest departmental clubs still continuing worth- while projects for Kent State and for the community is the Kindergarten-Primary education group, which does a double job in aiding local school teachers as well as students intending to enter the field of beginning education. With Miss Hazel Swan, department head, as advisor, the K-P club was headed the majority of this year by Rae Ellen Lohrke. Students volunteered as recreation leaders in local schools and joined a national K-P group. KINDERGARTEN-PRIMARY CLUB FIRST Row: Martha Chalfanc, Annette Boone, June Welshans, Ruth Ann Gallagher.

Open to majors, minors, and all students taking home economics courses, the club served refresh- ments periodically to Delta Sigma Pi and treated the Fred Waring troupe with coffee during their Novem- ber visit to the campus. Each Fall a buddy picnic is opened to new members. Bonnie Jean Avant was president, Edna Brown vice-president, Janet Harmon second vice-president.

WOMEN S%  H !- A ' : ' ' ' JkV T7 ARLY this Spring dozens of high-school-age girls swarmed - 1 — ' out of school busses and into Wills Gymnasium. Unlike most visitors to the campus, these newcomers weren ' t dressed for a tea or a dance, for most of the youngsters wore shorts or slacks, and had their hair well tied back by ribbons. These were the several hundred guests of the Women ' s Athletic Association, and they were on the campus for the anuual Play Day. This one-day event has for years been credi- ted with bringing more women into the Kent State H.P.E. department than any other single factor. Not all emphasis is on future students, however. One of the biggest goals in any athletic coed ' s life is a K letter and a gold W.A.A. pin. From the day they enter the University many women work constantly summer and winter to gather enough points for the awards. Tournaments lasting an entire quarter emphasize swimming, modern dancing, badminton, volleyball, tennis, bowling, basketball, and archery. Betty Vey is president of the 225 W.A.A. members. Her cabinet includes Alice Jean Watson, Pat Maglione. Jeanne Armitage, and Barbara King. Kent State ' s W.A.A. group is nationally affiliated with the Athletic Federation of College Women. The local group meets every two weeks, and a co-recreational play-night highlights the season ' s social activities. HEALTH AND HPE CLUB PHYSICAL EDUCATION ANE of the largest departmental clubs in the school is the - Health and Physical Education group, which boasts a minimum membership of nearly 150 students. Main function of the H.P.E. club is to provide opportunities for students to participate in athletic activities outside of regularly scheduled class periods. Special afternoons and eve- nings are set aside for each individual sport, including basket- ball, tennis, swimming, badminton, and the minor sports of ping pong, shuffleboard, etc. Because a special women ' s group draws coeds to the game courts, most active members in the H.P.E. club are men. In addition to concentrating on actual sports participation, an effort is made for future physical education instructors to meet and hear outstanding teachers in this field Frank Spechalske was president of the H.P.E. Club through- out the year, and Harriette Russell was secretary. FIRST Rou : Jim Thomas. Raymond Giannimore. Donald Pape, William Schenk, James Norrh, Vincent Vitale.

VARSITY K CLUB T 7 ARSITY K Club is one group in which the members do most of their work before they are installed. Only men who have earned a varsiry letter in KSU sports are eligible for admission to the closed club, presided over by President Richard Paskert. Other officers are John Moore, Frank Spechalske, and Jack Urchek. Speakers from the professional sports world lecture and show athletic films at the monthly meetings, and sports books are circulated among K members.

T7EW persons knew such an organization as the Industrial - - Arts Club existed until by a novel skit the men in the group succeeded in winning the independent award at the 1947 Pork Barrel. Spurred on by their first success, the club membership ex- panded under President Joseph Perconti, and leaders in plas- tics, metals, and woodworking trades came to the campus as guest speakers. Equipment in the school shops was used by men in the club to complete several successful projects. INDUSTRIAL ARTS CLUB 248 FLYING CLUB HPWENTY students invested $75 each of their own ■ - money to organize the University Flying Club, Inc., early last Fall. The money was used to buy a club plane, made of Luscomb metal, with a two-way radio and a 75 horse- power engine. With a cruising speed of 115 miles per hour and a 500-mile range, the plane is used by all club members. Ronald Armitage is president, with other offices rilled by Jerome Andrews, Tad Stokes, and Harold Province. The flyers hope to join a national college flight group soon. The Flying Club plane gets a good send-off as a student-member takes to the air on a cross- country flight. The plane met with a mishap late in the winter quarter and was out of the running for the rest of the school year. Professor Paton explains the proper air routes to Flying Club members before they take off on a long run. First Row: George Williams, William An- derson, Donald Wohlford, John Lilley.

On the Chem- istry Club program this year were lectures by leaders in various scientific industries and special talks by Kent State faculty members.

Marilyn Griffon f ARRY1NG on their armed services tradition of help to - others, twenty-five coeds formed the University Women Veterans Association, as a companion organization to the men ' s K-Vets. Efforts of the veteran women were directed toward finding additional housing for all women students at KSU. Work was climaxed each term at a formal dinner. Ann Gray was president of the Women Vets, and other of- ficers were Sarah Johnson, Margaret Boyle, and Rachel Jane Thomas. Several professors also worked with them.

Newest insight into American customs has come from a con- temporary writer who believes the key to complex human nature can be found in the advertisements, which alternately reflect the inventive power and the desires of the people. Whether true or not, advertising still holds great influence over the Ameri- can public. Students would not be at Kent State — in fact, KSU would not exist at all — if not for advertising. The same holds true for every textbook handled by the bookstore; for every seat planned for the stadium; and for every ice cream bar consumed by Hub-loving Staters. In this single section of the yearbook may be found predictions and reflec- tions of the ideals of the nation — and Kent State University.

C. POP MYERS N. WATER ST. PHONE 3033 KENT, OHIO Compliments of a Friend 286 }b JLad )wo Cents IdLt i SPRING and graduation come rolling around the corner, and another Chestnut Burr is put to bed to record a full year in the chronology of growth of Kent State Uni- versity. The pleasant part about the finish of such a large project lies in the fact that the editorial and business staffs can forget most of the work and relive the fun of companion- ship for years to come. The typewriters have slowed down in the Burr office, but they haven ' t stopped, for even before the 1948 edition is complete a new crop of workers has begun on the 1949 book. My hope for the new staff is that they may have as excellent cooperation from the administration, faculty, and student body as we have experienced, to aid them in pro- duction. The year in retrospect would show innumerable personalities who have contributed to the book. My special thanks go to those who held out to the end to complete the details which take the rough edges from the raw product. Sincere appreciation goes to Carleton J. Smyth, publications supervisor, Frank Kwett of Northern Engraving Company, Ralph Gross of The A. L. Garber Company, W. C. Sims of the S. K. Smith Company, and William Partridge of Chesshire-Higbee Photog- raphers. Plaudits are also due to Bob Magee, Business Manager, and his staff, Dave Kaplan and John Laurenson, for keeping the supply lines moving in the office and the darkroom. As Assistant-Editor, Marion Cole carried a heavy share of the burden of copywriting and did an unusual job of filling in the production gaps when they developed. The good spirit of her co-workers, Audrie Fornshell, Eleanor Meek, Anne Domiter, and Phil Dempsey, made the small office of the early part of the year a more pleasant place in which to work. Harlan McGrail, Art Editor, left in March for a job in Iowa after completing his studies, but the record of his work remained on campus with many pages of the Burr. Sue Fletcher put in several months of skilled work in scratch board technique to finish the striking fly-leaf, and Julian Kofsky executed the sketches appearing through the book. Freshman Dick Rice reproduced most of the group insignias to earn a place on the staff. Most students of the University are familiar with Chief Photographer, Dick Arnold, who appeared at countless meetings, dances, picnics, and other school affairs to record the events. Though verbal thanks are always inadequate, they are gratefully extended to Dick and his staff, Bob Kidd, Ernie Rowland, Doris Carpenter, Don Goldsmith, Bob Phillips, and Roger Baele. Special merit award could well go to a newcomer to the University this year, John Stage, who is responsible for the unusually excellent job of photography in the faculty section and the montages in the Greek section. And all the while Stella Trautz and Terry Pugliese, working as staff secretary and photographic secretary, pushed their jobs to peak importance by keeping the behind-the- scenes details in order. Working with them and helping wherever and whenever rhey were needed, Betty Winter, Sue Liebermann, Lee Sproat, and Bud DelVecchio often added the starch to a wilting problem. Thanks, too, to Bob Weymueller for the help over the last hump of the year as the Burr was completed. The long hours of work have not made it an easy year for the staff, but our experience has been on a worthwhile plane. I have personally enjoyed very much the companionship of the staff members and consider it an honor to have worked with them. The physical and cultural progress of the University often causes me to feel that I was born at least five years too soon. I hope that the Chestnut Burr will always maintain the tradition of pushing ahead — as the columns move on in the darkness.
