Faculty Salutes FREN MUSSELMAN, formerly Dean of Summer Session and Extension, devoted 26 years to the University. Since 1924 he has served as extension professor, associate professor, professor of education, and in 1938 became dean. In his 12 years as head of summer school, Dean Musselman saw the total enrollment for these terms exceed 40,000 students. He often said that he regretted that, in his administrative capacity, he lost some of the teacher-student contact. One of the dean ' s special interests was the entertainment and assembly committees, and he brought such personalities as Alec Templeton, Jan Peerce, Eleanor Steber and Norman Cousins to the campus. He also found time to be active in Kappa Delta Pi, education honorary and the Wesley Foun- dation. MICHAEL J. RADOCK, director of public relations, has helped put Kent State University on the map. When he came to KSU in 1945 the University had only a publicity and news bureau. January 1, 1946 Professor Radock ' s dream became a reality and the public relations office was established. Since then the PRO has become a vital part of the University. From this office information, news stories, pictures and university bulletins are sent to students, news- papers, parents, faculty members, other colleges and radio stations. Under Mr. Radock ' s supervision such publications as the faculty bulletin, the Alumnus, the parents ' bulletin, the Campus Calendar, daily news releases, and weekly radio releases have been started, many of them published for the first time. Besides supervising the news bureau and the sports publicity staff, Professor Fladock also teaches several classes each quarter. NINA HUMPHREY has quite a record of service at Kent State University; 38 years of her life have been spent teaching art to students. Miss Humphrey came to Kent in 1913, when the school was in its infancy, to be its lone teacher of art. She remained as head of the department until 1948. Thousands of students remember the infectious sense of humor which brightened their art appreciation and history of art classes. Many students and townspeople have become interested in weaving through Miss Humphrey ' s enthusiasm in her school weaving classes, private weaving classes and women ' s weaving groups. Weaving has become more than merely a hobby with Miss I [umphrey; she has won prizes for her work at Akron Art Institute salons. Jollv and good-natured, she has spent her life encouraging student interest in the fine arts. Of Campus Scenes With a serenity all its own, the University is here dis- played as our photographers saw it in the year 1951. In years to come, it will be these scenes that will bring a touch of nostalgia to the old grad on Homecoming Day. Memories of warm Spring days on the campus talking to a pretty co-ed will intermingle with shivered thoughts of the big snow. Remembrances of long autumn walks in the spar- kling Ohio air will come back, and conversation will stop for an instant as a memory threads its way among our thoughts. Then, it ' s lost, and only the afterglow of four years of study and frolic remains as a pleasant well-remembered period in our lives.

Dedication of the University Memorial Stadium on October 14, 1950, brought to a climax a drive for funds which began in 1947 by a committee of alumni, students, faculty and townspeople. In two years the committee raised approxi- mately $60,000 with the hope that the first section of permanent seats would eventually be part of a horseshoe stadium. At ceremonies prior to and during the game with Marietta College, the stadium became an official part of the Uni versity. Participating in the dedication ceremonies were the University R. O. T. C. and the University band. The dedication prayer was offered by the Rev. Charles V. Ireland. Speakers during the half-time program included Dean Raymond E. Manchester, chairman of the dedication program; Melvern W. Randels, president of the alumni associa- tion; Martin L. Davey, Jr., general chairman of the Memorial Stadium committee, and President Ceorge A. Bowman. The new stadium provides accommodations for 5,600 persons. Topping the structure is a press box, which will accommodate 22 members of the press, and three booths for radio and television. Space below the stadium seats is available for concession stands, public rest rooms and a storage room. Construction on the new stadium was begun in the spring of 1950.

First occupied October 1, and dedicated Decem- ber 2, 1950, the gym was built at a cost of approxi- mately $1,330,000. The east side of the building houses varsity athletics while the physical education activities are carried on largely on the west side. Some 10,000 persons can be accommodated com- fortably in the main gym, which provides a regula- tion basketball floor and three cross courts. The floor is lined for tennis, volleyball and badminton, with fittings for gymnastic equipment. A six-lane Olympic size swi mming pool is sep- arated from the gym by electrically-operated alu- minum doors. For swimming meets, the doors are opened, and sections of rollaway seats are moved near the pool to provide seats for 1,000 spectators. Four large lobbies, each with ticket offices, rest rooms and telephone booths; offices for varsity athletics and an equipment room are on the main floor along with lecture rooms, physical education offices, a receiving room, an intramural room, a dressing room for instructors, two shower rooms, and an office next to the pool. On the second floor are the locker and shower rooms for KSLI varsity squads and visiting teams, a training room and office, coaches dressing room, three handball courts, four shower rooms, a cor- rective gym, lockers for physical education classes and storage rooms. A special feature along the corridors is the Kent State University Athletic Hall of Fame where Golden Flash men from the past to the present are pictured. Upper: The basketball court.

Arts Building Completion of the new Arts Building marks the fifth such unit to be added to the university ' s build- ing and expansion program. Erected at a cost of $790,000, the completely modern and attractive building is called by many the embodiment of the latest in scientific and archi- tectural design . The first classes were held in the new structure winter quarter. A special feature of the building is the saw-tooth type roof, which provides the maximum amount of light for shops and studios. Each studio is illumi- nated by indirect lighting and has one wall of floor- to-ceiling windows. Most of the shop equipment was transferred from the old industrial arts shop. A dust collector was added to the woodworking shop. Included on the first floor of the building arc offices for the faculty of the art and industrial arts departments, art gallery, sculpture room, two paint- ing studios, a library reference room, a general metal shop, machine shop, ceramics shop, areo- nautics and woodworking shops, and a 200 seat lecture room. The second level contains drafting rooms for architecture, lettering and graphic arts, rooms for art education classes, a commercial art room, and two painting studios. Construction of the new Arts building was com- pleted in fifteen months. No definite plans have been made for dedication of the building.

Student Council Staggered at the first part of the school year by criticism from all sides. Student Council orderly investigated itself, appointed committees, and governed to gain the respect of the entire student body. Allocations committee in charge of distributing funds for university activities, was expanded by the addition of four Faculty members to the five student members. The student members were Dave Brand, Ty Merriman, Frank Kelly, Paul Bringman, and Colleen Messmore. Parker Voll replaced Ty Merriman later in the year. All University budgets were cut be- cause of the decreased enrollment. Council also initiated a policy of investigation of point averages by each individual. During the course of the year four high-ranking Council members resigned. Bill D ' Alex- ander was succeeded by Virginia Vaughn as president. Harry Moldovan was elected vice-president. Ron Rice and Carl Vivani also resigned. Investigation of the Publications Policy committee showed that only one of the four members was a journalism major. This committee interviews and decides on all Stater and Bun- editors. Council decided to interview all applicants for this com- mittee before approving their appointment. Ninety-three candidates filed petitions for the December Council and class elections. A comparatively large turnout, 1.164 voters, elected 24 Blue-Gold representatives, 3 NuK, and 1 Independent. 36 Marilyn Hayes, secretary; Ginny Vaughn, president. Sandy Weiss, treasurer; Harry Moldovan, vice-president. Booster Club On the eve of all home football games the campus glittered with flickering torches carried bv members of the Booster club. The brisk fall air was full of fight songs and a troop of students snaking along behind a band laden truck. These rallies were just a few of the functions of the Booster club. Two dances were held dur- ing the fall quarter in an attempt to raise money for the band and for a scholarship given to a freshman athlete. From its beginning as a small group in 1 946- 47, the club has increased to an organization of 1500 members. The chief function is to pro- mote school spirit and athletics at the Univer- sity. It also serves as a middle man between the University and the Downtown Booster club. Other activities during the year aided the cheerleaders. The club printed cheers and the alma mater and distributed them at the foot- ball games to enable unfamiliar freshmen to learn the cheers. Also in cooperation with the athletic department, the club bought the cheer- leaders new uniforms. s 8 Top, First Row: Sandy-Jo Kohls, secretary; Bill Dct- wiler, president.

Having made great reorganization strides since the male-less days of the last war, Men ' s Union con- tinued its policy of growing strong during the past year. Of the twenty members, four are elected from each class. Four officers, acting as an adhesive to bind the organization together, complete the group. Strictly a service organization, the Union strives to make the male student a well-integrated individ- ual. One of its most successful programs of this type has been the annual beard-growing contest. Bringing out the beast in each man, the contest is held during the spring quarter. A number of varied activities decorate the cal- endar. In October, AIU celebrated the opening of the new football stadium by sponsoring a free all- university dance. Later in the football season they aired the Kent-New Hampshire game over WKSU- FM. To promote closer cooperation among the dif- ferent campus groups, MU sponsors a President ' s banquet, which brings together the male executive heads of all organizations. Graduating men are annually invited to attend a senior banquet given by Men ' s Union free of charge. First Row: Erf Morgan, Jerry McFaddeu, Larry McClain, Ralph Ehrenberg.

What- ever the difficult v may be, every Kent coed, as a member of Women ' s League, can find the answer. Women are elected to offices each year on the executive board, which is the functioning section of the league. The legislative function of the executive board is to pass, revise, and formulate rules pertaining to the activities of Uni- versity women. The league ' s constitution now provides for seventeen members, including a president, a first and second vice- president, the Dean of Women, publicity chairman. Stu- dent Court chairman, vice-presidents from the women ' s dormitories, commuters and local resident students rep- resentative. Additional members come from the Off-Campus Women ' s club, the off-campus house presidents, the Wom- en ' s Athletic Association, Student Council, Pan-Hellenic, YWCA, and the Big-Little Sister council. Realizing that hard and fast rules cannot be made to apply to all students, the league established Student Court to rule on exceptional cases. Together with Women ' s League and other governing bodies. Student Court has set up stand- ards to be followed by all University women. Socially, the league sponsors the Big-Little Sister tea, held each fall quarter for the purpose of acquainting the freshmen. Each year a banquet is given in honor of the senior women as part of the social program. Advisor Dean Ada V. Hyatt with some of the girls 39 Top Left: Mr. John C. Weiser adjusts a control.

On that day another chapter was written in the story of University radio broadcasting. Today the voice of WKSU-FM can le heard in an area of approximately 15 square miles. Striving to inform and entertain its listeners, this station thrives on a well balanced diet of programs ranging from music to religion. The station is entirely student staffed and student operated. Walton D. Clarke and John C. Weiser act as faculty supervisors of radio activity. In their hands lies the responsibility for the business and financial operation of the station. WKSU-FM is a broadcasting station, not a training center. Actual redio experi- ence for those who do not work on the station can be gained at WAKR in Akron, where on Saturday mornings from 9:15-9:30, dramatic programs are presented by KSU stu- dents. These programs are student written, directed and acted. WKSU-FM regularly broadcasts five days a week from noon to 2 P. M. and from 5 to 8 P. M. Saturday broadcasts are confined to athletic events and other occurrences of special interest. The estimated yearly cost of operating the station is in the neighborhood of S3,000. The station can boast of equipment which is second to none. There are two broad- casting studios and one master control room. The -smallest of the studios is referred to as the announcing studio while the larger one is called the auditorium studio. The latest addition to the station is a Lang-Worth transcription library. This outfit with its 16 inch discs facilitates the broadcasts of recorded musical shows. Seven broadcasting microphones adorn the studios of WKSU-FM. Also included in the assets department are record filing cabinets. Each record is preserved with its own individual jacket. Among the most highly prized possessions of the studio is the tape recording equipment. The operations of this station are rigidly supervised by the Federal Communica- tions Commission. K S N K Jerry Lettofsky checks the transcription library. Prof. Walton Clarke inspects the antenna. 41 Daily Kent Fall Editor John Koshar, Managing Editor George Dark) Politella in conference. Directed by Editor John Koshar, the Daily Kent Stater of the fall quarter led the attack on the illegal seating of members of student council. Koshar ' s scathing editorials and overall work in this campaign proved that he was worthy of the American Newspaper Guild trophy which he won in 1950. Business Manager Guy Shelley provided the funds for the paper and directed the work of Ass ' t B usiness Manager Parker Voll and Advertising Manager Kenyon Hottell. Circulation, advertising, both local and national, and print- ing contracts occupied most of the time of these men. Managing Editor George Way was second in command to Koshar and handled much of the University news, while Vera Woodburn spent much of her time in the slot at the copy desk as copy editor. News about rent control and housing problems which affected students was handled by John Fowler, public af- fairs reporter. Gene Alexander covered sports for the fall, which con- sisted mostly of football games and intramural news. Pictures were taken by Chief Photographer Bill Samaras and Picture Editor Bob McMaken.

Featuring more news of interest from other colleges around the country, the staff utilized the International News Service wire in the public relations office. The threat of the draft occupied much of the con- versation time of the students and the Stater followed suit by publishing editorials, features and inquiring reporter articles, and Washington news. Sports, especially basketball, took up a great deal of space also. The basketball team, plus the other sports were covered by Sports Editor Joe Durbin and assistant Ernie Mazza. Parker Voll moved up to the position of business man- ager, with Ken Hottell as his assistant. Jo Harper was ad- vertising manager. This group and their staff handled the accounts of everybody, from the Brady to Batten, Barton, Durstine and Osborne. One of the consequences of the draft threat was the increased prominence of female staff members. Those hold- ing leading editorial positions were Merge Choate, Gloria Donnellv, Pat Long, Ann Chamberlain and Phyllis Slack.

On May 31. 1911 the Ohio Legislature approved SI 00,000 to be used in the construction of the first dormitory on the campus. Lowry hall, completed late in 1912, was named for the chairman of the legislative board. As enrollment increased, more dormitories were needed. Following approval of bids for the construction of Lowry and Merrill hall, the state legislature on Oc- tober 19, 1911 voted funds for Moulton hall and the Administration building. Moulton nestles on a sloping hill with the beautv of the campus in front of it. The ball was named for the then president of the board of trustees, E. F. Moulton. The last women ' s dormitory to be built was Engle- man hall in 1937. Built in the form of a huge W ' Engleman was recently connected bv a passageway to the Studen t Union. It was named in honor of J. O. Engle- man, president of the univerity from 1928 to 1938. Stopher hall, the only permanent men ' s dormitory, received its first occupants in the fall quarter of 1949. It is the first of four new men ' s dormitories to be built on the hill in the back campus. Erected at a cost of S850.000, it was named in honor of Emmet C. Stopher, former faculty member and registrar. Terrace Lodge provides temporary living quarters for manv men. Bottom: Engleman hall, for itpperclass women. Top: Moulton hall, home of frosh co-eds.

Grandmother of all the dormitories is Lowry Hall, home for 135 coeds. Aware that their university home was the first to be built on campus, these women were determined that the dust of old age would not cover their social ledger. Starting the social wheel spinning, Lowry girls made elaborate preparations for the Christmas open house. The effort was well spent as guests approvingly observed in- terior and exterior decorations of the dorm. The long known, but little seen ghosts and goblins of Lowry Hall made their appearance at the Halloween talent night. Good things to eat were the orders for the night, as other talented residents entertained with cleverly devised skits. Jeans and sloppy shirts were abandoned for a short while in February. Femininity was emphasized as the Lowry girls held their annual formal in the Union ball- room on March 30.

Stopher Hall, representing the largest organized group male residents, has tried its hand at becoming social and has added much to the campus social calendar. The modern cafeteria has served its part also. After the trays and dishes were cleared off the tables, the cafeteria often assumed a different role. Tables were moved and chairs were pushed aside to make room for couples dancing to the music of the latest records. Originated by Steve Bizic, the Stopher Hall Christmas party for underprivileged children in Kent has become an annual event. The children are fed and presented gifts, bought with contributions from all of the dormitories. Intra-mural and inter-dorm athletics also play a part in the life of a Stopher resident. Football, basketball and soft- ball teams are regularly entered in intra-mural competition. This interest resulted in the winning combination of John and Len Pohlod in the 1950 Independent Rowb ' oat Regatta. Other activities included competition in the Penny Car- nival and the Sons fest.

Desk girl Janice Pillshurr helps Thelma Dewalt sign In the glow of burning candles, new officers were installed at Moulton Hall in November to commence the socially important part of the school year. December was a big month for most of the occupants as many worked on decorating the dorm and erecting a ceiling- high Christmas tree. The evening ' s entertainment was com- pleted when Santa Claus appeared to bestow his greetings. Another traditional Yuletide event at Moulton is the caroling work of twenty -five music majors. This talented group visited special homes singing favorite hymns of the Christmas season. Exactly one month after the January Winter Formal, activity turned to the Sweetheart Valentine party. A week before the party, Moulton girls lavished a secret sweet- heart with gifts and kindnesses. The identity of the sweet- heart was not discovered until February 14. Moulton residents displayed originality in their Home- coming decorations, and competed for the Independent trophy in Campus Day festivities.

Engleman Hall Some of the girls watch TV. The newest of the women ' s dorms, Engleman hall is named for a former president of the university. Over 200 senior women are housed in its W shape which is connected by a passageway to the student Union where the Engleman cafeteria is located. The upperclass women are housed in singles, doubles, and quads off eight hallways leading from the central lounge and reception room. Kitchenettes and laundry fa- cilities help provide a better living for the women. Engleman Hall is organized with house officers guiding it through social and disciplinary matters. Gloria Donnelly served as president, Lorie Postlethwaite was vice president, Thelma Petno kept the books as treasurer, and Betty Mercer and Pat Hooper directed the social activities. Activities included Homecoming decorations, Penny Car- nival, Pork Barrel, Campus Day float, open houses, dances, parties and the annual Engleman formal. WM i .. ' J ' 4? • _N0S TO.M ■ tm a , J WW .

Blue Key Blue Key, a national honor fraternity, is not just for the scholar, not just for the leader, but for men who are both, and participate in numerous activities. Founded locally in 1933, Blue Key has three basic principles upon which membership is granted, scholarship, character, and leadership and ability. The organization is composed of independent and Greek leaders on campus and serves as an adjunct to the University. Its purpose is to perpetuate the belief of God, stimulate an ambition for attainment, and studv student problems and student life to further the best interests of both the student and the institution. This year the fraternity took part in several activities beyond their usual work. They were one of the leaders behind the World Student Service Fund drive and they directed the Freedom Bell signature campaign. Annually, they co-sponsor with Cardinal Key, the Penny Carnival, one of the leading events of the winter quarter. Also, they publish the Student Directory. This directory is one of the most used booklets of information on the entire campus. Numerous organizations use it for reference and numerous men use it for date information. Blue Key also awards an annual scholarship to a student at the University. Present officers are Guy Shelley, president; Tom Drouillard, vice-president; Dan Miller, secretary; and Ted Chernak, treasurer. Members for the organization are tapped in the fall and the spring after making application. 49 First Row: Margery Boni, Barbara A. Miller, Gerry Carroll, Marty Kinnamon, Marilyn Hayes, Cid Dettor.

Cardinal Key, in all of its work and activities, strives toward prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude. Several of the leading University traditions are sponsored by the Cardinalites. Along with Blue Key, they sponsor the Penny Carnival and Campus Day and devote much time to making this day a success. In order to provide parents an opportunity to meet with each other, the group organized Family Day. On this day parents are in just as much evidence as are students. Cardinal Key also sells campus scene Christmas cards each year. These cards contain a picture of the campus along with the usual holiday greeting. They also sponsor an Easter egg hunt for the children of Kent. At the end of the year on Scholarship day, Cardinal Key gives a trophy to the outstanding woman graduate of the year. To qualify for membership in Cardinal Key a woman should have high scholarship, be active in several campus or- ganizations, and be of high character.

Concert Band During the fall of 1938 the first women ' s band was organized as a concert band. It played for the annual homecoming play during the fall term, and gave a joint concert with the men ' s band in the winter quarter. The women and men have their own officers and main- tain their own individuality during the football season. How- ever they combine throughout the winter and spring quarters to form an 80-piece concert band. Individual meetings for the men and women are held weekly during the concert season for rehearsal and business. Acting as two independent groups, the bands rehearse inside and drill occasionally outside in preparation for the spring quarter Campus day. During the Campus day celebration they play together as a concert band for an outdoor concert and later in the day are split up as separate bands to march in the all-University parade. The concert band is a well balanced musical organiza- tion under the direction of Professor Roy D. Metcalf. Each year three formal concerts are presented on Campus. One of the outstanding compositions that has been presented is the complete Fauchet symphony Suite in E flat. In addition to giving concerts in northeastern Ohio cities throughout the year, the concert band dedicates one concert annually to the high school musicians in this section of the state. The concert band plays the required high school state contest numbers during this concert. Television appearances were made on WEWS in Cleve- land. Officers for the Women ' s band are: Alice J. Hoover, presi- dent; Adelaine Metcalf, vice president; Virginia Shively, secre- tary; and Wilma Ellenberger, treasurer. In the Men ' s band the officers are: Roland Gamble, presi- dent; Ray Bliss, vice president; Gerald Dallesandro, secretary and Myron Dovle, treasurer. KSU Concert Band Members Agresta, Elio C.

Organizer and director was Kenneth Byler, now with the Lawrence Conservatory College of Music in Wisconsin. When first organized, the orchestra was composed chiefly of players from the Kent community environs. To this nucleus, there was added from time to time University students. Since the war, the organization has not been reactivated as such, but a large number of its former members have joined forces with students from the university. Holding weekly rehearsals, they have adopted the name of the Kent State University Civic Orchestra. In recent years they have joined forces with the A Cappella Choir and Chorus in presentations of Handel ' s Messiah, and Bach ' s St. Matthew- Passion play. Coupled with this work, each year several programs are presented featuring the full string orchestra, together with several soloists. While most of the civic members are amateur players, who engage in instrumental work as a hobby or as a leisure time pursuit, there are also a number of music teachers among the members. Recently coming under the direction of Louis P. Krch, the current orchestra, though aspiring to svmphonic proportions, is limited in part bv demands for long rehearsals in preparation for the large and intricate choral presentations. However, the chief difficulty lies in the extreme absence of accomplished string players available in the community area as well as in the student body of the university. The wind and percussion instruments usually number twenty plavers, but on occasions these have been increased with other players. Presently the strings consist of eight first violins, six second violins, six viola, three cello, and two bass. Louis P.

A Cappella Choir Caro Carpetyan has again led the A Cappella Choir to the rank of a superior college musical organization achieving the heights of musical interpretation. With a group of 85 students, selected after competitive tryouts, he shaped and molded a body of individuals who act as a unit. The choir was impressed with the notion that the singer should get as much, if not more, out of a song as the audience did. This group does not remain Kent ' s exclusive property, but throughout the year travels to local churches, participates in several radio programs, and this spring toured Pennsylvania, New York, New jersey, and Massachusetts. This year the choir also sang at the Riverside church, New York city in April. During the fall quarter, two concert appearances were made, one in the Cleveland Public auditorium in October before a convention crowd of over 10,000 Northeastern Ohio teachers. The other program was presented to the Ohio Music Educators association in Akron, in December. As in past years, the choir formed the nucleus of the choral forces for the presentation of the annual Messiah pro- gram on December 10. Holiday festivities included the presen- tation of Bach ' s Oratorio and Bach ' s St. Matthew Easter passion play.

Five thousand copies are printed and then distributed to all students holding activity cards for the three quarters. Over 1 500 pictures and uncounted yards of copy go to the makeup. The quantity of yearbooks printed is greater than any other university in Ohio. Last year, the Chestnut Burr was granted a First Class Flonor rating by the judging of the National Scholastic Press association in colleges of over 5000 students with a letter press yearbook. This edition of the Chestnut Burr began back in March, 1950 when the Publications Policy committee met to determine who would be the new editor and the new business manager of the Chestnut Burr. In April, 1950 Murray Campbell was chosen to serve as the editor and Theadore E. Chernak was chosen as the business manager. Work was begun in the spring quarter of 1950 by the busi- ness staff as contract applicants for the printing, engraving and covering the book were interviewed. Bids were received, decided upon, and contracts were signed with the Heer Printing Co., the Indianapolis Engraving Co. and the Mueller Art Cover and Binding Co. Throughout the year, the business staff made out the vouch- ers and requisitions, planned budgets, ordering supplies, and handled the general run of managing some $25,000 in student activity funds and page sales. During the fall quarter, the ad- vertising staff went into swing to pull commercial ads and sell pages to organizations. During the winter quarter, the master index for identifications and distribution was prepared from the university lists. The grand finale was the distribution of the 1951 Chestnut Burr in May. Larry Marchesano filled the duties of being assistant to the business manager, Ed Core did the pushing as advertising Top, Photographers: First Row.

On the Editorial side of the staff, Sol P. Baltimore was appointed as the associate editor during the spring quarter, and plans were laid for the formation of the yearbook and yearbook staff. Section editors were appointed: Leo Damore as highlights editor, Pat Long as organizations editor, Don Blum as activity editor, Ralph Orche as fraternity editor. Lis Overstreet as pro- duction manager and Jerry McFadden as sports editor. The first makeup of the 1951 yearbook was drawn up, and photogs began to take pictures of spring activities. By the fall quarter, Dick Rice, art editor, had the cover design to the manufacturers. Senior pictures were taken and mounted. Artists started submitting drawings. For the first time, fraternity pictures were taken as single groups. Bob Twigg started on Greek pin reproductions. Edward L. Cliney became picture editor, and the engravings started on the way to production. Four valuable photogs were added to the staff: Paul Hulstrand, Jim Priest, Ron Moscati, and Earl Swanev. Staff organizational meetings were held. Lis Overstreet became jack of all trades by becoming production manager, class editor, and sorority editor at various times. Copy started to roll in for the final assembly into signatures. Throughout the winter quarter, the 9 by 14 Chestnut Burr office in the rear of the R.O.T.C. building was humming. The cover was finished in March. Copy kept coming in and so did engraver ' s proofs. During the final weeks of winter quarter, Sol P. Baltimore was busy assembling the copy, dummy, and pic- tures into shape to send to the printer. First printer ' s proofs were received at the beginning of spring vacation and last was sent back by the beginning of the spring quarter. Whenever work was done. Jack Stickel, layout chief, and Jim Butler, layout editor could always be found. The origina sorority editor was Betty Deutelbaum who dropped school in January. Donna Daisher, photo secretary, had to drop because Writers Arnold Feldstein, Jim Andrews, Harold Petersen, Bill Buzogny, lack Mayfield. of commuting, but Joyce Tompkins and Pat Lafferty replaced her. Gene Mullins was chief photog who kept assignments mov- ing. Idents secretaries, Dotty McFadden and Ellie Bereit got the files in order. The typing staff performed well, headed by Jo David, getting all copy in the final shape. Pleasure was not denied to the staff members. Three went to the Associated Collegiate Press convention in Chicago during the fall quarter, where Sol P. Baltimore was a speaker. The Chestnut Burr Queen. Marry Elaine Long, was chosen during the winter quarter. Her attendants were Jane Klee, Avis Pinney, and Marietherese Burr. The annual Publications Banquet was held in the Mayflower Flotel as a climax in a successful year in publications. There, members of the staff received gold, silver, and bronze keys for service, and special awards were handed to those who were outstanding in journalism and photography. Lisbeth Overstreet was chosen by the editors as the outstand- ing staff member and awarded a jeweled key. Betty Peiffer, Earl Pollock, Nan Harris and Dale Reinker work on art.

Moscati Graduate School Perhaps one of the least publicized departments of the Uni- ersity is the Graduate school. The school is under the executive leadership of Dean Raymond M. Clark, but is directed by the Graduate council of which President Bow- man is chairman. Degrees can be obtained in practically all subjects reg- ularly taught here, except music, journalism, philosophy and home economics. Requirements for admission include a degree from the University or any accredited institution, a point average of 2.5, and a major or minor degree in the field of work desired. The student must complete 48 hours of work, divided into 40 hours of class study, and 8 hours of thesis work for the Master of Arts and the Master of Business Administra- tion degrees, and 48 hours of class work only in the field of education. Before the student is awarded his degree, he must first take an oral examination and appear before an exam- ining board appointed by Dean Clark. Established in 1935 by the state legislature, the school first offered the Master of Arts degree only. In September, 1949, the University made it possible for students to obtain degrees in Business Administration and Education. Since the first 4 degrees issued in 1936, the number has increased to 141 in 1950. The total granted now stands at 455. There are now 420 students enrolled in the Graduate school including 96 women and 294 men. One hundred and ninety-seven students attend regular day classes while 223 students are enrolled in night and Saturday classes. Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Raymond M. Clark has spent 37 years of his life in the teaching profession, and has been at Kent State university 25 years. He began his teaching career in a small rural school following graduation from high school, and entered Ohio university where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in education in 1917. Dr. Clark came to Kent in 1925 as a member of the summer faculty, and in 1926 became a professor of psychology. During 1943-44 he was acting president of the University, and was named director of the graduate school in 1947. His degrees include ALA., Columbia university, (1923), and Ph.D., Western Reserve university (1933). DONALD J. BADER Canton, Sociology H. K. JEANNERET Winter Park, Fla., Political Science FLORA S.

Winslow, offers free mental hygiene service to all students of Kent State university, their husbands, wives, and children. Besides offering assistance on vocational, educational, social and personal adjustment, the function of the clinic is to provide an opportunity for internship training of psychology students and graduate students. THE SPEECH and HEARING CLINIC serves a three- fold function, after instituting its present progam in the fall of 1945. Under the direction of Professor J, R. Montgomery, the clinic ' s primary purpose is to train speech and hearing therapists by providing them with the opportunity of actually administering clinical service to persons with speech or hearing difficulties. There are more than 70 students majoring in this field. THE READING CLINIC, under the direction of Dr. Leslie W. Garnett, professor of English, strives to help college students improve their reading habits, and also understand what they read. Instructor Claude Colvin teaches students how to study and how to concentrate on their studies effectively and economically. Four basic les sons are given to the stu- dents, most of whom come to the clinic voluntarily, and the problems of organizing, evaluating and remembering ideas are brought out.

This year nearly 900 seniors reached that coveted goal. Under the able guidance of Professor Gerald P. Chapman, who has served as senior advisor for the past ten years, the class sponsored three traditional social events. These included a picnic, luncheon, and dance-all of which were held during graduation week. Officers of the class are Vincent Herst, president; Sandy Weiss, vice-president; Carol Orlikowski, secre- tary; and John Ballenger, treasurer. The 51 ' ers have seen a host of changes on campus since their dink-bedecked frosh days. Little did they dream of the magnificence of the Men ' s Physical Education building, or the streamlined convenience of the Practical Arts building. These, along with many other additions and improvements to Ohio ' s most beautiful campus, were just a gleam in the architect ' s eye. The world in which those freshmen first came to KSU was one of postwar immaturity; of hope for an infinity of peace. Those young hopefuls are now the wisemen of the campus. They are the ones who know what college really is. Anyone of them can tell you that it ' s just as important to spend an hour over a cup of coffee in the Union as it is to worry over finals. They ' ll tell you, too, that it ' s not always the class brain who ends up making a million; the fellow who is always the party clown often ends up in this position. Just ask any senior. He knows. Yes, it ' s a far cry from a dink to a mortar-board. And the grads of 1951 can rightfully be proud as they march to commencement on June 9. They really know the ropes now, and the world is theirs to conquer. 66 Joanne Ackerman Elaine Adams LA Rocky River ED Euclid Paul M. Adzema Charles D. Ahem C.

JUNIOR CLASS Past the neophyte stage and rapidly approaching their final year— their big year— the junior class struggled against draft laws and dwindling enrollment during the past three quarters. Even though the male element of the class was confused as to the question of enlistment, the class organized and held traditional functions. The biggest of these affairs, of course, was the Junior-Senior Prom held in May. A gift from the juniors to the seniors, it was a dance ex- celled by none for its beauty and sentimentality. Other functions of the class were a Pop Ball held in the spring quarter in honor of the most popular man and woman on campus and a February class party. Officers of the class were chosen in the November elections. Pre- med Howard Fagan was elected president and led the class throughout the year. Shelley Pressler, a pre-law student, was picked as vice- president, while correspondence and meeting notes were taken care of by Joan Milford, elementary education major. Another pre-law student, Mark Common was treasurer, and collected and budgeted the class finances. Despite the rush of outside activities, the members of the class of ' 52 have decided on their major and minor sequences and are realizing that their graduation is not too distant. With this fact in mind, they are striving to equip themselves adequately to find a secure and worthwhile place in life. 94 Bottom: Jim Cuppy, president; Mary Jo Ellis, secretary. Top: Sandi Jo Kohls, treasurer; Paul Spencer, vice-president. As they participated in their second year of university activities, members of the class of 1953 showed everyone that they were qualified to take over the duties of last year ' s seniors and others who had left KSU. The sophomores, more polished and experienced than they were in their freshman year, were eager to assume the campus positions and duties of departed students. Of these sophomores who are looking forward to graduation from Kent, it is difficult to judge how many will be here in 1953. Many of the men will be called to the armed forces. Aside from settling down to choosing their major fields, another factor distinguishes sophomores. At last they are no longer ' the greenies, and they can ' t give the excuse, How should I know? I ' m new around here! ' ' Jim Cuppv, chosen bv the sophomores to be their president, is a member of Kent ' s varsity basketball squad. He is from Savannah, Ohio. Vice-president of the class is Sandi-]o Kohls, a speech major from Cleveland. Sandi-Jo appeared in several University Theater produc- tions, and has her own radio program over WKSU-FM. Mary Jo Ellis, from Steubenville, Ohio, is secretary. Mary Jo is a member of the Kindergarten-Primary Club. A Westlake, Ohio graduate, Paul Spencer, is treasurer cf the class. Paul is also a member of the Booster club. SOPHOMORE CLASS 95 Bottom: Marjorie Clark, secretary; Alice Wilhelm, treasurer. Top: Pat Campbell, president; Ted Kopfman, vice-president. FRESHMAN CLASS Dink frosh, dink, is the cry that echo ' s across the campus directed at the ears of the poor, bewildered freshman. First came freshman week with dances, plays, tests, and health check-ups. They soon learned the main points of interest; the Student Union, the Brady, the library and various classroom buildings. After the beginning of regular classes, the Frosh delved into the various activities in which thev were most interested. Some into dramatics via the Freshman play Seven Keys to Baldpate. Others, more athletically inclined, turned to the freshman squads, and some students even decided to pay a little attention to their studies. Moulton Hal), the residence hall reserved exclusively for freshman girls carried on its tradition of orientating the girls to life in a dorm and on a college campus. The freshman boys who lived in Stopher Hall were determined to catch the greased pig to end hazing for the year. On a Saturday after- noon in November they adjourned to the practice football field, and after a long, hard battle managed to corral the slippery porker. They then could forget that they were just lowly freshmen; fair bait for an upper-classman. Elections, which were held a week late because of the great snow, finally took place. The officers elected were: Pat Campbell, president; Ted Klopfmen, vice-president; Marjorie Clark, secretary; and Alice Wilhelm, treasurer. Student council representatives from the frosh ranks were Connie Alter, Marilyn Beifuss, Stan Bober, and George Dickie. Men ' s Union collected Vernon Ball, Jim Lehner, Jerry Frazier and Jim Calat. 96 DORMITORY LIVING A home awav from home are the dormitories for more than 1,000 students who live on campus. Freshman girls call Moulton hall their home, sophomore coeds live in Lowry hall, junior, senior, and graduate women reside in Englemen hall, while the men live in Stopher hall and Terrace lodge. Sinole rooms make up most of Engleman hall, named for a past president of the University. Its residents are allowed more freedom, commensurate with their standing as upperclass women. Weekly one o ' clock permits are given to the 235 coeds, but the dash to the door is still seen, even among these old hands. Lowry hall houses sophomores, with a sprinkling of freshman, junior and senior women. The dining rooms at Lowry serve the Moulton hall girls, and the off-campus students who congregate on weekdays for meals. Eager freshman girls are the residents of Moulton hall. Located at the tar end of the campus, it necessitates a long run home for one of the 270 frosh coeds who momentarily forgets about the 10:30 p.m. curfew. Lights go out at 11:30. the only dorm that has this rule. Double and triple rooms are found in Stopher hall, where men from lowly frosh to graduate student live. Starting last year, sign-in requirements went into effect, enabling women students to throw a few gleeful jibes at their friends in Stopher hall. Terrace lodge is a collection of army barracks that serve as a temporary home for many men.

Photography Short Course Engleman hall acquired a masculine air from March 21 to 24, 1950 when 300 press photographers and editors gathered from various states to attend the ninth annual press photog- raphy short course. Gaining national recognition as the best of its kind, the four day seminar was founded as an opportunity for photog- raphers and editors to learn new methods of photography and to exhibit their work. Together with the short course, a photo contest was held with more than 1,000 entries displayed in the Union, competing for prizes in several different categories. Among the students and speakers present was Frank Luther Mott, dean of the journalism school of the Uni- versity of Missouri, who was the guest speaker, and also in- stalled the Chi chapter of Kappa Alpha Mu, national photo journalism honor fraternity. Also present were Jacob Deschin, managing editor of U. S. Camera magazine; Bob Dumpke, chief photographer of the Milwaukee journal; and Fred Kildow, director of the Associated Collegiate Press, University of Minnesota. The highlight of the course was an inspiring speech by Harry Shigeta, of Shigeta-Wright studios, Chicago, who talked on Photographic Composition and displayed his prize winning prints taken over 25 years. At the end of his fine speech and stirring demonstration, the assembly rose and gave him a prolonged ovation, the only one in Short Course history. 100 School for Husbandi Presented as a musical, Molier ' s School for Husbands was the best of the University Theatre season. Directed by Professor G. Harry Wright, it was a thoroughly light- hearted, tongue-in-cheek production. The play afforded four graduating seniors, Lea Baumann, Ernie Mauer, Bob Wal- lace and Ed Hallas, a fine vehicle in which to give their farewell performance. Ernie Mauer was outstanding as Sgnanarelle, an old spiteful guardian who plans to marrv his sweet ward, played by Norma Reramy. Although he keeps her locked in his home, she falls in love with a gay blade who lives across the street, conveniently enough, played by Bob Wallace. Through intrigue master-minded by the servants of the young couple, played expertly by Catherine Arnold and Ed Hallas, the two lovers arc finally united in a hilarious marriage ceremony. But the scene that stole the show was a ballet produc- tion number led bv Lea Bauman and Nancv Hise. A small but excellent pit orchestra provided appropriate background music lor the songs and choreography.

Penny Carnival Do you like to pitch pennies, ring girls necks (with leis), use legs for a ring-toss, squirt candles, paste a pledge, or drown Ben Appel with a bucket of water? Those who do enabled concessions at the 9th annual Penny Carnival, March 31, 1950, to earn $617.36. Evidently folks prefer to throw leis, squirt candles and pitch pennies, for those were the winning concessions. Moulton hall won the trophy in the independent division with their Ready, Aim, Squirt booth. Kay Evans, Mar- lene Adams and Alice Hills served as pretty backdrops for the candles. Runner up in this division was Engleman hall. Gamma Phi Beta ' s Hawaiian concession drew eager students and faculty to throw leis around the shapely necks of Phyllis Jones, Frankie A lathis and Jackie Burrell. They took top honors in the sorority division while Alpha Xi Delta placed second. Platter Splatter, a penny pitch run by Delta Upsilon won the fraternity competition with second place taken by Phi Gamma Theta. Various side shows included selling benefit tickets on cigarettes, slip-disc jockey Pat Whit- mer, Spike Jonesin ' it, and a Gay Nineties photo booth manned by Chi Pi. Funds taken at this year ' s carnival will go towards establishing a scholarship fund. The event is co-sponsored by Blue Key and Cardinal Key, campus men ' s and women ' s service fraternities.

Campus Day Escorted by sash wearing Delta Upsilpn fraternity who chose her, the K girl started the 1950 Campus Day frolicing by painting the K behind Rockwell library. And shortly after noon, Joan Fiocca, president of Cardinal Key, presented Virginia Vaughn, to the assembled throng as the May Queen. While the crowd applauded. Student Council President Bill D ' Alexander performed the coronation ceremony. 1 he queen, and her two attendants, Sally Koch and Mary Hoover, with the rest of the court, presided while the dancers wove the May Pole in time honored rites. Soon after the coronation, the float parade got under way led by the twin marching bands. The independ- ent groups came first, followed by the fraternities and sororities. Sigmadelta club captured first place, while the Chialpha club placed second in the independent division. Sigma Nu, with its smoke spouting sidewheel steam- boat took top honors among the fraternities, with Phi Kappa Tau second and Delta Tau Delta third. Their horse drawn carousel cinched first place for Delta Gamma sorority followed by Alpha Xi Delta. Chi Omega was third. Facing Page: Upper left: Cardinal Key escorts the May Queen.

(But no sooner had the fraternity boys started to sing when the rain stopped.) Bob Hampton, master of cere- monies, soon got things organized and the crowd settled down to hear the fine voices. Ken Siebenaller directed the American Commons Club to a first place in the independents division. They gave an excellent rendition of the Lord ' s Prayer. Delta Upsilon, led by Terry Atkinson, sang their way into first place with Were You There? , followed by second place Delta Tau Delta. Sorority honors were taken by Delta Gamma, singing ' You ' ll Never Walk Alone, with Alpha Xi Delta settling into second with Cindy. May Queen Ginny Vaughn and her two attendants reigned over the Campus Night dance held in Will ' s gym to the music of Ray Anthony ' s orchestra. Queen Ginny presented trophies to the winners of Songfest and the float parade, and in turn received gifts from her sorority, Alpha Phi; the student council, and the Inter-Fraternity council. Ray McKinley and crew cut a fens capers. Chi Omegas sing indoors . id the Commons club sings outdoors. V 106 Jim McGarry and Gretcheu Rader receive their trophies from Shelly Pressler. Most Popular Man Jim McGarry, well known fraternity man and bon vivant was Blue and Gold ' s choice for Most Popular Man and after the elections he proved he was the choice of his fellow students by an overwhelming margin. Jim, a member in good standing of the Brady brigade , was president of Alpha Phi Beta and the Inter-Fraternity council during his senior year. He is a native of Cleveland. Most Popular Woman Gretchen Rader, glamour girl, socialite and queen of Sigma Nu ' s Scummers Hop hails from Niles. Fetchen Gretchen, as her sorority sisters campaigned her, and ably too, is no beginner as far as beauty and politics are concerned. Her Chi Omega sisters called her Stretch, and so did the people who elected her to Junior class treasurer. She is also a mem- ber of the Booster club and the Pan-Hellenic council. 107 Duke of Kent Joe Wagner and trophy. Ogden Nash and Jane King examine first issue of Author Spring Highlight!

June 3, 1950, just wasn ' t the day for Kent ' s 10th annual take-off on the eastern col- lege affairs. Mary Hoover and Phyllis Young, rowing for Delta Gamma repeated last year ' s performance by again taking top honors in the sorority division. Ben Steele, a one-man team from Sigma Nu, covered the half-mile distance at Sandy lake ahead of all the other fraternities with Bill Casey, another one-man entry, from Delta Tau Delta, not far behind. Stoper Hall ' s first entry in the Regatta sped to first place in the independent division. Two brothers, John and Leonard Pohlod, heaved their way to the finish line just a slight distance ahead of the Chialpha club. The efforts of Jerry Mekler, regatta chairman, and those who assisted were dampened by the downpour, and all the events other than the races and queenship judging were called off. Al Newman, announcer of the race, and Gene Mekler, race spotter, kept up with the pattering of the rain while Gene Harrison got the races off on scheduled time. Mollylou, a Chi Omega sponsored sophomore was awarded her trophy by John Koshar, managing editor of the Daily Kent Stater. She was chosen from a field of 20 outstanding candidates by three judges, whose powers of selection and vision was not hampered by the liquid atmosphere. Mollylou Bendure with her trophy.

Dancer Joan Halloxvay cavorts across the stage. Vaughn Monroe The Vaughn Monroe show, sponsored by Theta Kappa Phi fraternity brought a two and a half hour revue to fill Wills gym May 15, 1950. Monroe ' s effortless baritone pleased the audience, but the musical highlight of the show was concert-master Earle Hummel who contributed his excellent violin playing to Shoemakers Dance, and Valse Bluette. Mule Train, Monroe style, got the revue off to a fast start, followed by a combination harmonica-accordion- horn player who succeeded in pleasing the audience as well as showering them with powder and confetti. Vocalist Ziggy Talent screamed his way through his well known rendition of The Maharajah of Magidore, and a few other ear-drum splitting numbers. On the non-musical side of the entertainment, the spotlight was definitely on Jay Lawrence who had the people in the palm of his clever hands with his take-off on a prizefight and a day in the life of a private eye. Four pretty young ladies called the Moon Maids con- tributed their specially styled songs, and one of them, called Tinker, played several pieces very capably on the piano. A dancer also high-kicked her way across the stage to round out the evening ' s entertaining show. 112 Dr. Carl F.

Graduation Following a hectic week of picnics, rehearsals, parties, dances and celebrations the class of 1950 took a last quick glance around the campus and walked into Wills Gym on Saturday, June 10. Over eleven hundred received degrees, the largest graduation class in the history of Kent State university. A great improvement over the first graduation class of twenty-seven. From the College of Education, three hundred and ninety were graduated; the College of Liberal Arts, three hundred and thirty-eight; the College of Business Administration graduated three hundred and forty-two. Thirteen of the graduating class received their degrees summa cum laude, twenty-five magna cum laude, and forty- two cum laude. Twenty-nine Master of Arts degrees were awarded from the Graduate school.

Fresh man Week On September 19, approximately 1400 frosh began to undergo the tortures of Freshman Week. Comparatively young and innocent, these young men and women unknowingly walked into a week which was to leave them bewildered and slightly lost, but with some beneficial experience. The Freshmen entered into a whirlwind of place- ment tests, conferences, physical examinations, tours, lectures, and many more preliminaries to campus life. To add to their joys, they were issued dinks and name cards, a new innovation. They diligently scrubbed the seal with toothbrushes and doffed their caps as a humble salute to the mighty upperclassmen. Various social get-togethers were scheduled for Freshman Week. On faculty night, the students got acquainted with their instructors and their hus- bands and wives. They met Pres. George A. Bow- man and his wife at a tea in the president ' s home. The students got acquainted with one another dur- ing the many mixers that were held by different organizations. At the close of a hectic but happy week, the Freshmen were a little more aware of what to expect during the many following weeks that were to make up their college careers.

Big and Little Sister Tea The annual Big and Little Sister tea was held on October 15 in the afternoon in Moulton music room. The freshies were received by Dean Ada Hyatt, Mrs. George Bowman, Mrs. Margaret Swan- son, and the officers and members of the Women ' s League, who sponsored the annual event. Tea was served and Mrs. Mary McCampbell and Airs. Eleanore Lallance poured. Co-chairwomen for the affair were Mary Long and Jan McGarr. Fall flowers decorated the tables and Marvelyn Yount played several selections on the harp. LIpperclasswomen graciously chatting with the freshmen made them feel at home at Kent State and took a big step in inte- grating the new group into the community of campus life.

Alpha Gamma Delta football team. Alpha Phi football team TWI TW1RP king Frank Belgan wears his crown of fruit and vegetables With vegetable corsages in evidence and a cold, cold, north wind, TWIRP Night sponsored by the University Booster club appeared again this year. Because of the success of the first TWIRP Night, introduced last year, it was decided that it was to become an annual event. An inter-sorority football game between Alpha Phi and Alpha Gamma Delta at half-time provided many thrills and spills, with Alpha Phi emerging victorious on a touchdown by Tiger - Maglione. A skeleton University Twin Marching Bands provided a hilarious show on how a University Band should not look , with Don Peacock and Nella Jean Wise as the baton- bunglers . Frank Belgan was crowned TWIRP king at halftime with Mark Common, Dave Hoover and Chuck Fletcher as attendants. The Freshman football team provided a win over the Mount Union frosh.

The en- thusiastic students, guests, and alumni turned out to watch the Golden Flashes beat the Falcons for the first time in four years, which entitles Kent to keep the painted football until they are beaten by the Falcons. This painted pig was the ball which was used at the first football game between Bowling Green and Kent. Dick Pitts, Bob Pease, and Nick Dellerba made the scores for Kent, two of them on passes by Pitts and Jack Alancos. At halftime, Pat Petersen was crowned queen by Student Council President Bill D ' Alexander. The queen and her two attendants, Carol Stilenbauer and Vinnie Mittiga, were ac- companied by an honor guard composed of members of the Scabbard and Blade honor fraternity. President Bowman spoke a few words of welcome to the alumni and other guests. In the evening, the University Theatre closed its three day run of Goodbye My Fancy , starring Phyllis Phillips and Bill Zucchero. A record crowd danced to the music of Louis Prima and his orchestra in the new Physical Education building. At intermission. Queen Pat Petersen presented the painted pig to Bob Pease, captain of the football team. The queen then presented the awards to the winning organizations in the house decorations contest. Although the rain hampered the decorators, there were many splendid exhibitions. Kappa Sigma and Alpha Phi took top awards in the fraternity and sorority divisions, while in the independent men and women ' s divisions, the American Commons club and Airs. Clark ' s residence were in first place. Phi Beta Phi, Chi Omega, Engleman hall, and Sigma Delta were the runners up. H omecomn ig Queen Pat Petersen Opposite page. Top Left: Louis Prima and crew.

Models were chosen as representatives of each sorority and inde- pendent women ' s group. Clothes were presented through the courtesy of a well-known clothing manufacturer. Spring and Summer ensembles were modeled by the girl ' s includ- ing: suits, coats, dresses, sun-clothes, bathing suits and formals. The latest fashion trends from Paris and New York were exhibited with flourishes worthy of highest-paid magazine models.

All-Greeks Falling roofs was one of the trifles encountered by Alpha Phi when they held their annual pledge presenta- tion. The dance, traditionally a Fall term highlight, was held in the Winter quarter due to the capriciousness of the roof of the Meyer ' s Lake Dance pavillion where the All-Greek was held. Undaunted, and with heads uplifted, the Alpha Phi ' s came through, and introduced their current crop of debs at the annual affair. Charlie Pickens supplied the music. Baby All-Greek INot to be out-done by their active brothers and sisters, the Greek pledges held an informal Baby All-Greek for pledges only.

United Nations Club The foreign students are attending Kent State not only for the educational opportunities afforded here, but also in order to promote good will toward a better international understanding through programs of music, speeches and panel discussions. While maintaining a very high scholastic standing, the group has been very active in speaking to clubs and organizations within this area. The programs sponsored by these joint-groups (International Relations Club and the United Nations Club) are open to the public.

Top: The McGilvrey hall name plate. Bottom: Boh Krasovec, left, and Eldred Johnson, right, look on as Prof. C. N. Savage shows a specimen. 12S McGilvrey Hall When you can walk into a building from the east on the ground floor and without ascending or descending steps end up on the third floor on the west side, it is a unique building. And that is exactly what McGilvrey Hall is . . . unique. Built on the side of a hill, three of the four floors are ground floors. The hall was built in 1940 by the Public Works Administration. The building was constructed with great difficulty on quicksand thr ough the use of a floating foundation. Its present use is primarily a science building, although the economics department is also located in the hall. The chemistry department is very much in evidence with laboratory after laboratory equipped with hooded gas escapes and other modern scientific equipment. The balance room has an atmosphere of exactness with the care- fully aligned balances. The aroma of formaldehyde greets the visitor as he enters the biological section of the building. Grotesque look- ing skeletons and disconnected parts of the anatomy are prevalent. This leads to the plant growing room which, even in winter, is well stocked with perennials, annuals and rare growths. The physics department reminds one of the present scientific world in which we live. Huge electrical apparatus set ups are just as confusing to work as they are to look at. Row on row of smooth blacktop experiment tables occupy several rooms. Orderly after hours, these tables are a maze of equipment; pulleys, ammeters, and barometers during class time. In addition to these scholarly and complicated laboratories, McGilvrey hall also houses the Dean of Men ' s office, lockers for commuting students, elevators, stock rooms, and numerous bulletin boards which keep the neophyte scien- tists up to date on the happenings of their profession. The east facade of McGilvrey hall with first and second floor entrances. 129 Merchant of Venice With two veterans, Charles Kray and Joan Lequillon, and fifteen students making their debut, Merchant of Venice was presented to KSU students and the public. The four-night run, January 17 through 20, was supported bv a 31 -member cast including oldies such as Dave Roberts, Gene Mekler, Si Lee, Carolene Arnold, William Feaster, Chris Kolas, Rosemary Poor, Charles Presson, John McClary and Bernard Russi. Some of the larger roles were handled by newcomers George Paristeris. Dale Brechbuher, Philip Ruffini, Jack Brown and Dick Johnson. If you can recall the Shakespearean play, you ' ll remember that .Antonio, the merchant of Venice, borrowed money to help his friend, Bassanio, win the hand of an heiress, Portia. Shylock who loaned the money stated that if the money was not paid back within three months, Antonio would forfeit a pound of his flesh. Because of a delay in his ships ' goods com- ing in, he could not pay the mnoey back. Portia then became the heroine and reminded him that the contract said nothing about his drawing blood when he took his flesh, Antonio being saved. Rounding out the UT production were Gus Aivaliotis, Jim Mulholland, Don Watt, Lowell Smith, Gertrude Haffner, Robert Saxe, Phillip Kodish, Don Eaton, Duane Waddell and Bob O ' Neill. Costumes for the play were straight from Hollywood which added an air of professionalism. The rapidity with which the seven scenes were changed also added to its effectiveness. Credit goes to Wesley Egan and his stagecraft class for this set construction. Director of the play was Earle E. Curtis, assistant professor of speech. Assisting him was Miss Carol Ann Walgenbach, instructor of health and physical education, who directed dancers Alma Volzer, Jacquelyn Chenoweth, Ruth Nygren and Janet Shuman.

Her attendants were Libby Robinson, Cid Dettor, and Pat Maglione. The dance, in Wills gym, is an annual affair and has come to mark the peak of the winter season together with the Military Ball. The band was acquired through the efforts of the student coun- cil under the direction of the social committee. Headed by John Kapioltas, the committee took care of all arrangements including decorating the gym to complete the coronation atmosphere and make the dance live long after the music had stopped. Cd.

Giving commissions as second lieutenants in the Infantry to men who complete the four-year program and six weeks summer training period, the Corps now has graduates serving all over the world. Lt. Col. Frank C. Mandell was selected as professor of military science and tactics when Lt. Col. Thomas F. Wall retired after a 20-year career. Boasting one of the top rifle teams in the country, the Corps has beaten teams from University of Michigan and Ohio State university. It also finished on top in many civilian and army matches. The Corps contains two honor organizations. Scabbard and Blade national honor society is for first and second classmen who maintain a high scholastic record. The Perishing Rifles is for the third and fourth classmen for ex- cellence in drill. Both groups act as an honor guard at many university functions. Scabbard and Blade served as an honor guard to raise the flag at all home football games. Top event of the social season for the Corps was the Military Ball held March 2 in East Market Gardens, Akron. Many dignitaries from all branches of the armed services were guests of the R.O.T.C.

CHEERLEADERS This year ' s elbow benders could be found practicing on the walk be- tween Kent and McGilvery Hall even 7 afternoon during the Fall quarter at four o ' clock led by Leroy Erickson, head cheerleader. The varsity squad this year consisted of: Shirley Hartman, Marge Lansinger, Jo Harlacher, Phyllis Johnson, Jim Andrews, Leo Damore, Andy Mangione and Tom Oddo. The cheering response improved slowly until the Ohio University game when pandemonium broke loose and the cheerleaders couldn ' t be- lieve their ears. A new innovation was introduced this year by way of announcing the cheers. Signs were painted by the Booster club with the cheers on them and cheer-sheets, containing all the cheers, were passed out at most of the games. Noisemakers, too, were distributed to the fans. Bright yellow sweaters were added to the cheering ensemble and made our yell leaders hard to lose at a football game. The cheerleaders participated in many pep rallies and led cheers at basketball games also. Another crop of Freshman cheerleaders who ' ll no doubt be seen on the varsity squad next year, made their debut at the TWIRP Night, freshman football game. And very good they were too! 150 Leroy Erickson demonstrates a cheer. As the football teams leave the field at half-time, the KSU Twin bands march onto the field led by a debonair drum major and seven sprightly major- ettes. Although the band is always the big attraction, the feature spot goes to the flashing batons and the prancing majorettes. The drum major is Don Peacock, while his feminine followers are Nella Jean Wise, head majorette, Joyce Conkle and Pauline Dyrdek, and newcomers Sue Ann Hurd, Charlotte Dyer, Jane Miller, Marlene Hamblin and Jill Bonvissuto. Don Peacock, who perennially astounds the foot- ball fans with his baton wizardry hails from Ravenna and is an Art major. Nella Jean Wise, also from Ravenna, is enrolled in the college of education majoring in phys-ed. She also belongs to the University orchestra. Sue Ann Hurd from Newton Falls is an out- standing addition to the Kent twirler brigade. Winner of many twirling competitions. Sue Ann has given many exhibitions of her progress with the baton and appeared in the Freshman vaude- ville. Joyce Conkle is a junior in the college of educa- tion and calls Lisbon her home. Pauline Dyrdek is a sophomore from St. Clairsville, Ohio. She is a home economics major. She is a member of the choir and the Booster club.

Kent State university suffered its worst baseball season in many a year in the spring of 1950. Losing eight of seven- teen encounters, the Golden Wave gained some measure of fame by setting a new team record for consecutive games won by winning eight straight in mid-season. The feature of the season was a jaunt through the southeastern United States. Playing losing games with West Virginia, Fort George Meade, and Ouantico Marines, Kent found themselves long enough to envelop Potomac State college. Lack of hitting was the main deficiency as related by Coach Matt Resick but several individual stars did shine through the gloom. Prominent among these were Co- captain Dick Stevenson, Jim Col l, and Bill Reppa whose big bats kept the opposition on the go constantly. Steven- son led the way by blasting out a neat .361 average and capturing the most valuable player award. The other co-captain, Joe Pisani, was the Flashes defensive ace with a .1000 fielding percentage to his credit. Outstanding pitchers were Frank Belgan with a three and one record, and a 1.5 earned run average, and Russ Stahlman with two wins, no loses and an earned run average of 1.10. Although dropping eight games the Kent Staters did play well, with the veterans having the satisfaction of pre- paring the youngsters for the seasons to come. 154 Dick Stevenson slides into third base safe while Joe Pisani coaches. ►eason R econ KSU Opponent 3 Mount Union 2 3 West Virginia 8 3 Fenn 1 Quantico Marines 13 11 Western Reserve 5 3 Fort George Meade 5 8 Akron 9 3 Potomac State College 5 Bowling Green 2 19 Wooster 6 Ohio University 14 13 Baldwin-Wallace 4 2 Ohio University 5 9 Kenyon 3 Michigan State Normal 10 6 Ashland 8 Baldwin-Wallace 9 155 First row: Loreto George, George Masterson, Second row: Joe Biros, Chuck Vainer, Mark Baughman, Harold Morrette, coach.

Winning eight of nine encounters tells but a small part of the road traveled by Howard Morette ' s charges. Taking a fourth in the Ohio Inter-collegiate matches, the Flashes raised the Confer- ence banner over the campus. Squad standouts were Loreto George, Dick Masterson, Danny Baughman, and Jack Bell. These were the top four men in the championship race. Others deserving of recognition were Joe Biros, Chuck Vainer, and Dick Harris.

Featured during the season were four individual record breaking performances and a new field rec- ord for the 880 relay event. A one hundred point effort, and an easy win over Kent ' s bitter rivals, the University of Akron, also were high points of the season. The lone defeat came at the hands of a strong Case squad 65-62; Kent ' s one hundred point total was registered at the expense of Kent ' s neighbor, Hiram College. Akron ' s cinder squad met defeat by the lopsided score of 89-47. Record breaking performances were accomplished by the following Begala men: Dick Mowery took the honors in both the high and low hurdles, John Ballenger came through in his favorite event and established a new record in the broad jump; Bill Cox placing a new high jump mark in the record ledger, and also putting forth a championship first in the Ohio conference meet, came through with an all time record of 6 ' 4 in the high jump. Other outstanding performers were Dick Eroskey, Henry Clark, Dick Mowery, and Jim Bragg who collaborated to enter a new time on the books for the 880 relay event. 157 Football oeason s Kecor KSU Opponent Morris Harvey 14 Mount Union 7 John Carroll 57 Marietta 56 Northern Illinois 35 Ohio University 18 Bowling Green 19 Akron 7 New Hampshire 7 19 48 7 13 6 6 13 Gazing back upon the year 1950 we reminisce for a few moments with thoughts o f Kent ' s football story. As the pieces are put together we remember 1950 as a year of uncertainty, one in which Coach Trevor Rees found on his hands a tremendous rebuilding task. After long weeks of drill both on and off the field Kent was ready for its first encounter. Morris Harvey provided the opposition and all Kent received for its efforts were several plane tickets home. Not easily discouraged the Golden Wave treked to Alliance only to fall before a hard charging Mount Union squad, which had yet to taste defeat. Continuing in the role of a commuter the Flashes found themselves in Cleveland facing John this is our greatest team Carroll. Net result: the worst defeat in the modern era of Kent ' s gridiron history. What happened after this humiliating adventure is a thing of the past. Filled with spirit and determination, State caught fire and proceeded to chew up five straight opponents. The highlight of this streak was the wide advantage piled up by the Golden Flashes against Ohio University. Other wins of special interest were the hard fought decisions over Bowling Green and Akron Sitting: Paul Jindra, Joe Keefe, Larry Klamert.

University, the former ending the Falcons Homecoming day. Also to meet defeat during this period were Marietta and Northern Illinois, both of whom saw their goal lines crossed for a total of 113 points. Traveling to Durham, New Hampshire, for the season ' s finale, Kent State fell before the unbeaten and untied Uni- versity of New Hampshire Wildcats in a well played and hard fought game which saw the final margin tallv up to only six points. The New Hampshire game had the distinction of being carried by the Columbia Broadcasting company throughout the eastern United States, thus adding more prestige to our ever growing name. Perhaps the greatest step forward occurred at the first home game of the season when the dedication of the first section of Kent ' s proposed 30,000 seat stadium took place. Holding 5600 fans, this structure marked the beginning of a broader athletic program, one which will see many big names adorning the Golden Flash gridiron schedules. Making the dedication a success the Kent Staters took the field before 7,000 shivering fans and turned back Marietta College 57-0, to set a new modern scoring record. This presented quite a contrast to the day a few short years ago when a rampaging Baldwin-Wallace College Squad rolled over Kent to the tune of 118 to on a wind swept field behind Merrill. . Outstanding players of this unusual season were Jack Mancos, Dick Pitts, Bob Pease, Mario Nolfi, Jim Betteker, Bo Mooradian, Nick Dellerba, Pete Ahem, Paul Powers, Gene Vanard, Bill Blankenship, Art Pardee, and Don Radabaugh. The first seven mentioned found themselves being mentioned to several ALL squads. An example of this would be Pitts, Mancos, and Betteker for All-Ohio. Mooradian added an all-American tag to his All-Ohio effort. Dick Pitts and Jack Mancos fell short of Wib Little ' s all time record of 759 yards gained in one season by two and nine yards respectively. Mancos finished out the season with 60 points and a fourth in the conference. Bob Pease was the 1950 captain and operated very efficiently from the fullback slot which was new to him. Nick Dellerba rounded out the offensive backfield that came to be known as the Four Ponies, by completing 42 out of 84 passes for 574 yards and 6th in the conference standing. Nick also placed fourth in total offense with 882 yards. Jim Betteker catching seven touchdown passes came out on top in that department of the Ohio Conference standings. As a team Kent captured the Conference net yardage title and placed second in the rushing category with 3274 and 2470 yards respectively both of which are school records. Concerning passing, the Flashes tossed for 803 yards for their nine games. Another new record was the 374 yards net gain average for each game. Point wise it was Kent with 213 markers and their opponents 120. Net results of 1950 were five wins and four losses and a feeling of better things to come. 159 Morris-Harvey Opening the 1950 season with unseen potential- ities, Kent State ' s Golden Flashes flew to Charleston, West Virginia, to meet Morris Harvey ' s Golden Eagles. Played in the rain and mud the contest ended with Kent on the short end of a 7-0 score. Kent seldom was a factor, the team ' s followers felt sure that lean times were to follow. The entire offense which totaled less than one hundred yards rushing was racked up by Jack Mancos and Dick Pitts. Kent attempted five passes, none of which were complete. Mancos is hit by a JNI-H blocker. Mount Union Traveling to Alliance as favorites, the Golden Flashes lost out to Mount Union in the final two minutes of a thrill packed, Ohio Conference football game. Halfback Jack Mancos was head man as he scored two touchdowns. Kent scored once in the first period, but the Purple Raiders retaliated immediately after Kent ' s kickoff and again in the third quarter after blocking a Mancos punt. Kent ' s second T. D. came in the final quarter. Climaxing a 78-yard drive, Mancos went over from the six, putting the Flashes in the lead 14 to 13. But Kent ' s leaky defense let through another Raider score on a ten-yard pass to the end zone, as Mount Union avenged themselves from the 13-11 beating of 1949. A Raider blocker leads the way. John Carroll It was the Golden Flashes third game of the 1950 season, and the opponent was John Carroll university. Going into the game with an out- side chance of upsetting the mighty Blue Streaks, Kent State ' s varsity gridders limped into the neutral corner after the contest, licked their wounds, and lifted their eyes up toward the score board which stated: John Carroll 43— K. S. U. 7. Completely out played, they met, and were defeated before 6500 fans, by what is termed the greatest team to ever represent the East Cleveland campus. Standouts for Carroll were Burrell Shields and Rudy Schaffer, the latter kicking 6 out of 7 conversion attempts. Bright spot for Kent fans was Don Radabaugh ' s interception of a John Carroll pass, and his reeling off of 35 yards for State ' s lone score. Successful interference by a JC safety man. Marietta Seven thousand proud K.S.U. fans entered their brand new Memorial stadium for the first. time, and saw the Golden Flashes down Marietta by a 57-0 count. It was the highest scoring contest of their career under Coach Reese. So fans were proud of two things; their stadium and their football team. It was the first win of the season. Jack Mancos was hero number one as he ripped off 187 yards and three touchdowns. Dick Pitts scored two T.D. ' s. Nick Dellerba completed 1 1 passes with five consecutive heaves coming in the third period. Bob Pease makes an end run. Ohio University Proving that their trouncing of Marietta was no hoax, the Flashes rolled on to their second con- secutive win of the season by beating Ohio uni- versity 35 to 13. They cinched the game by scoring three times in the final period. A large crowd was on hand to watch Jack Mancos gain 123 yards against the favored Bob- cat squad, including a 77 yard touchdown sprint. Bob Pease was also an important individual, picking up 113 yards. Top defensive Flash was Don Radabaugh who played a bang-up game at end. Paul Amodio, 10, picks up some help. Northern Illinois With the season two-thirds over, the Golden Flashes swamped an undermanned No. Illinois eleven 56-7. Jim Betteker led the attack, crossing the goal line three times, while Jack Mancos and Dick Pitts each scored twice. Nick Dellerba pilot- ing the team from the quarterback slot, threw two touchdown passes and ran for another. After the Fluskies had tied the score at 7 all in the first period the Flashes broke the game wide open by scoring four times to take a commanding 35 to 7 halftime lead. They were never behind again. Bob Pease, 14, on another run. Bowling Green Sparkling running by Dick Pitts, Jack Mancos and Bob Pease, the brilliant field generalship of Nick Dellerba and our fine defensive wall gave us the newly traditional Painted Pig as the Flashes rolled over Bowling Green to a 19-6 Homecoming victory. Despite rain, mud and cold weather, the triumph started celebrations off to perfection, with Pitts, Pease, and Dellerba running 74, 44, and 33 yards for consecutive scores. The Falcons scored first in the second quarter, but three plays later Pitts broke away for the first Kent score, immediately followed by Pease ' s touchdown and Dellerba ' s third period score. Jim Schrock, 62, and Paul Powers, 32, in on a play. Akron University Resuming their traditional battle, Akron and Kent met at the Rubber Bowl and literally tore each other apart. The final score of 19 to 7 was indicative of only part of the action. Although completely in command throughout, the Flashes were faced with their most determined foe of the season. Kent ' s offensive load fell to Dick Pitts who accounted for 118 yards and one touchdown and Jim Betteker who tallied two T.Ds. Kent retained the traditional Wheel and ran its victories to 6 straight over the Zips. Jack Mancos, 46, slides by a tackier. ♦ New Hampshire A powerful New Hampshire eleven ended Kent ' s five game streak by dropping the Flashes 13-7. This was New Hampshire ' s first victory over a mid-west opponent since the war. The game was just as close as the score indi- cated. The Wildcats drew first blood, scoring the second time they got the ball. They drove 42 yards to take a 6-0 lead. Kent bounced back in the second half to take a short-lived 7-6 lead by marching 76 yards after the kick-off. The final T.D. was in the last quarter when the wildcats went 11 yards to score.

Starting a tough season with what appeared to be a none too formidable combine of left-overs from last year ' s squad and a few sophs, coach Dave McDowell shaped the men into a winning team. The team played smooth ball to amass a season ' s record of eighteen wins against eight setbacks. One look at the scorebooks will show that it indeed was a team in the fullest sense of the word. At least seven, and more probably eight or ten men appeared in every game, and it was not unusual to see every member of the squad in a game. It would not be an easy task to single out one man as an individual star. George Fulton was probably the finest all-around performer on the team, but the diminutive sophomore flash Percy Grenfell also stood out in every game he played. Percy led the team in scoring, dropping in a total of 301 points, while George was close behind with 286 markers. The two were probably the smallest pair of consist- ently high scoring guards to be found in the nation. From here on it is hard to make any distinction among the team personnel. John Pohlod could always be counted on to play a reliable game at forward. He always managed to contribute three or four baskets a game. The same may be said of Hank Urycki, who was John ' s running mate for a better part of the season. Also seen at forward were Carl Gibson and Bill Bertka. Carl, a newcomer, was not as consistent as some of the older boys, but played well in many games. Bill injured his ankle midway in the season, but was playing a bang-up game until then. Coach McDowell used two centers during most of the year, Mel Bogard start- ing the season, then Bib Dilling taking over. Mel started fast, slumped, and then picked up at the season ' s end. Bob Dilling is one of those boys you don ' t think is going to be a ballplayer when you first look at him, but once on the floor it is a differ- ent story. A fine defensive man, he was one of Kent ' s best on the boards all season. Larry Grist, Jim Cuppy, and Ben Steele also saw quite a bit of action during the campaign. All are sophomores, and worked hard while in action. Larry played the most of the three, but all are scheduled for more next year. Q m 4! w t ,_-  ' Percy Grenfell, 4, taps one in against Hillsdale. The Golden Flashes 1950-51 five started the season on the right foot by downing a stubborn Pitt quintet 53-49. The Flashes led throughout, but were pressed most of the game. In their next outing the Flashes again met stiff opposition at the hands of Ohio Wesleyan, but outlasted the Bishops to cop a hard fought 53-52 battle. Journeying to Athens the team dropped their first game to a rugged Ohio U. team. Next the Flashes went to the Cleveland Arena to meet Arkansas State, who also proved a worthy foe as they dropped the K.S.L1. five 60-50. The team returned home to prepare for the forthcoming State U. tournament, and mauled an under-manned Adrian five 88-49. In the first annual State University tournament the Flashes found the going rough as they dropped two games, 60-55 at the hands of Miami ' s Red- skins, and once again falling before the Bobcats of Ohio U. 53-48. The Flashes then visited Michigan and came home with a win and a defeat. Alma fell victim to the Kent five 76-47, but Central Michigan proved to be a tartar as they took the Flashes into camp 69-59. In the first Akron U. game of the season, the Kent five played a fast, aggressive game to nip a determined Akron team 53-49. This was one of the finest games of the year, and is indicative of the close rivalry which exists between the two schools. Back again at the home court, the McDowell-men hung up their sixth victory by dropping Western Reserve 69-43, in a loosely played contest. The Flashes then met a rangy Marquette team and found them to their taste as they took a six point decision 56-50. The team returned to the Cleveland Arena where they chalked up their biggest win of the season over Baldwin-Wallace, who had been a pre-game favorite. The final tally was 58-54 indicating the closeness of the contest. In the poorest showing of the year, the Flashes still had enough class to drub Hillsdale 56-44. Marred by fouls, the game slowed down to a snail ' s pace. The McDowell-men visited Dayton next, and it seems as though they should have stayed at home as the Flyers outclassed Kent 66-46. This broke a five game winning streak of the Flashes. Heidelberg ' s Student Princes became victim number ten when the Kent quintet returned from Dayton. They fell before us by a 70-60 count. The Flashes then visited Bowling Green, where the Falcons proved a strong foe, winning 85-64. The Flashes returned home to battle the Penquins of Youngstown college in. the finest game of the year. Nip and tuck most of the way, the Flashes dropped Youngstown in a close one 57-55. In a down-state contest the Kent five hung up their twelfth win by downing Marietta 60-55. Repeating two earlier wins, they beat Western Reserve 87-50, and Akron 74-50. A rangy Mount Union squad visited the campus, but came out on the short end of a 60-55 count, as Kent notched its fifteenth win. This was the last home game of the season. The Cavaliers of Xavier proved to be too much for the Flashes to handle and we lost 74-57 at the Cleveland Arena. The Staters then traveled to Wooster where they topped the Scots ' in a fine game 62-57. The McDowell-men ended the season in a blaze of glory as they edged the tough St. Francis quintet 73-71 in a thriller at the Cleveland Arena. The Highlight of the season came with the defeat of the Wooster five. This win gave Kent an Ohio Conference record of 7 wins and no losses, and a tie with Muskingum for the title.

The Flashes wrestling team was a well rounded squad and featured Joe Klosterman who finished the season with an unblemished record, the second straight year he has done this. The team started fast by downing Case Institute of Tech. Then the groaners traveled to Terre I laute, Indiana where they met and defeated Indiana State in easy fashion, 21-8. The Flashes then drew a tartar in Pitt, who proceeded to snap an eighteen game winning streak the team had over a two year period. Seemingly in a lull the team then lost a close match with Bowling Green 14-13 at the Falcon ' s home roost. After those two defeats the team went on to win the remaining six matches. Playing host to the Oilers of Findlay college the squad repulsed the invasion 29-2. The Bobcats of Ohio university came growling into the Tree City for the next start and went back to their den with a 27-5 defeat tied to their tails. Leaving home once more, Joe Begala took his charges to Berea, Ohio to meet the noiseless Yellow Jackets of Baldwin-Wallace college. Western Beserve ' s appearance for their annual encounter with the Flashes was to no avail as the victory banner bearing num- ber 7 was raised to the tune of 34-0. Great Lakes and Bochester Tech. felt the weight of Kent ' s wrestling legions when they met and were defeated by the identical scores of 27-3. Standouts on Joe Begala ' s squad this year proved to be Joseph Klosterman, captain of the 1951 edition and one of the finest wrestlers to wear the Blue and Gold. Winning the individual scoring title, Klosterman received points by the following means: five pins, two decisions, and one draw which added up to a total of 33 markers. One step behind Klosterman was Bill Fritzsche who despite being a junior has proven himself beyond a doubt a capable successor to Joe. Besides being undefeated, a feat identical to Klosterman ' s, Bill garnered 32 points by virtue of four pins and four decisions. Following closely behind was Tom Hansen whose specialty was the 130 lb. class which proved fruitful to him to the count of 26 points which were awarded to him through four pins, four decisions, and two losses. Baymond Sanders came through with nine wins by decisions and one loss also by decision. Don Morse saw action as a heavyweight and finished with two pins, five decisions, and two losses, both of which came by way of the decision trail. John Bedford gave a reputable showing which saw one pin, three decisions, and one tie registered in his behalf, with one decisioned defeat to mar his record. Les Irwin, Bollie Flinton, Jerry Conway, Herbie Flurd, and Jack Irwin rounded out the squad for this year ' s efforts. As a team Kent State saw action in 80 matches and were victorious in 58 of these while suffering only 16 defeats and 6 draw ' s. Total points scored were 234 for KSU and 64 for the opponents. 178 John Redfern pins Western Reserve grappler Robert Fuzy as the referee gives the signa Tom Hanson (race showing) pins Larry Patrick or Western Reserve as the referee checks the hold.

The team helped make the dedication of the Men ' s Health and Physical Education build- ing a happy one by downing Ohio U. in the season ' s opener. After this contest they went on to defeat six more oppo- nents before they lost to un- beaten Oberlin. After this defeat, the team beat Carnegie Tech, but then suffered their second loss at the hands of Pittsburgh. Two con- secutive victories over Wooster finished the year. The season ended with Kent playing host to the Ohio Con- ference swimming meet in which the Flashes finished third behind Oberlin and Wooster. £V - mm First Row: Ken Rupp, Paul O ' Dea, Tom Anderson, Dick Latture.

Western Reserve and Edin borough State Teachers college were the teams that met defeat at our hands. Unable to muster enough strength against the best small college combines in the mid-west, KSU met and were defeated in spirited encounters by Ober lin, Grove City, Slippery Rock, Whea ton and Kenvon. Standout among the losses is the one imposed by Wheaton. Traveling to the Illinois college Kent succeeded in push- ing the Midwestern Intercollegiate champions to the hilt before dropping 3-2. Standouts for the squad were Martin Danilo, Richard Block, Frank Pichel and Steve Bizic. These men were selected on the basis of their fine team spirit and play.

What with injuries, and a few players not able to compete, the team carried on as well as might be expected, and certainlv deserves the hearty commendation of all. It was not an active year for the Flashes ' gym- nastic team either, as they saw action in only three regular season matches. In these matches they were able to garner one win. that coming in a triangular meet with Case and Western Reserve, a second in the Swiss A. VII meet, and were defeated by Ohio State. The reason for the short schedule was that several- teams had to cancel meets for various reasons, and this lack of action hampered the team a great deal.

Olympic Champion Pete George Weightlifting, 1951 style, was confined to the practice room and individual efforts of squad members who by lack of recognition could not compete in collegiate circles. Among the men who participated is Pete George, coach and captain of this year ' s team. He found things to his liking in the middle weight class. George was selected to repre- sent the U. S. in the Pan American games at Buenos Aires, where he captured top honors. George George, Christy Kolas, Paul Zalog and Jack Weakland were the other members of the team.

Making its first appearance on the hilltop campus as a recognized varsity sport, Kent State university ' s cross-country legions compiled a record of two wins in six outings. Although long on spirit and eagerness they found themselves on the short end of the experience ledger. Mustering strength against two of Kent ' s traditional rivals, Joe Begala and his charges proved to all concerned that they weren ' t to be considered as everybody ' s whipping post. The scores that were recorded against John Carroll and Western Reserve universities were unique in that thev were both shutouts. Led by Dick Hoover who finished in the number seven spot, the Flash runners created for themselves a fairly successful season by winning the third place spot in the Ohio Conference meet which was held on a cold, damp day in November of 1950. Standouts for the squad in addition to I loover were such stel- lar performers as Ed Duckworth and Glenn Stockhaus. These along with Bill Hall, Dick Latture, George Muffley, John Farrell and John Wieck made up the nucleus of better things to come. Hoover also had the distinction of being named captain of Kent ' s first cross-country team, a position which he proved through- out the season capable of maintaining.

Lincoln Street 188 ALPHA GAMMA DELTA Alpha Gamma Delta sorority was founded at Syracuse Uni- versity in 1904, and activated Alpha Nu chapter of Alpha Gam at Kent State in December, 1947. The local chapter calls 220 N. Lincoln street home. The Alpha Gam ' s find their college days full of studies, meetings and fun, and try to enter and participate in as many campus activities as possible. They won a plaque for 100% membership in Booster club, which they added to their col- lection. Shirley Homer was crowned queen of the Baby All Greek dance, and Alpha Gam Lee Jones reigned as queen of the Kappa Phi formal. The Alpha Gams showed their athletic prowess ' ' by taking part in the Twirp Night touch football game. Socially the Alpha Gam ' s always manage to keep busy with the weekly informal spreads , a special event every Mon- day night. The alumni group entertains the chapter at a Christmas party each year, and also hold a spring tea in honor of the seniors. Annually, the Alpha Gams dine in style at their Feast of Roses banquet in the spring, and also hold a spring formal dance. The local chapter contributes to the national group to help support the Cerebral Palsy division of the National Society for Crippled Children and Adults. A local project, undertaken by the pledges, is the raffling of handknit Argyle socks. In charge of the Alpha Gam home is Mrs. Veva Osman, and Miss Marian Darst is chapter advisor.

Beta Omega chapter of Alpha Phi came to Kent State university in June, 1948, and settled at 227 E. Main street. After seeing President Ginny Vaughn crowned May Queen at last spring ' s Campus Day festivities, the Alpha Phi ' s started the school year off by winning Homecoming honors. On that day the Alpha Phi house was judged best in Homecoming house decorations, and Alpha Phi Pat Peterson reigned as Homecoming Queen. Royal honors at the Alpha Phi house are shared by Margie Clark, who was chosen Sweetheart of the Alpha Phi Beta fraternity. 1 lighlight of the Alpha Phi social year is the All-Greek dance which they sponsor annually to present their pledges to the University Greeks. This year the formal dance was held January 5 at Myers Lake, after being postponed because of the great Thanksgiving snow storm. Many other social affairs, including fraternity parties and dances, also are held during the year by the Alpha Phi ' s.

ALPHA XI DELTA Alpha Xi Delta sorority was founded at Lombard college, Galesburg, Illinois, in 1893, and some 58 years later came to Kent State university in 1947 to reside at 224 Erie street, home of Beta Tau chapter. The Alpha Xi ' s returned to school this year after win- ning second place honors in the Song Fest and the Campus Day parade, determined to do big things. Showing their spirit, the group won the Booster club megaphone for the loudest cheering, and a Booster club 100% membership plaque. Many queens can be found among the Alpha Xi Deltas . . . ROTC Honorary Cadet Colonel Tory Spring, junior-Senior Prom Queen Joan O ' Hara, May Queen at- tendant Sally Koch, Burr Queen finalist Avis Pinney, Homecoming Queen attendant Carol Stilenbauer, and Kappa Sigma Freshman Queen Gloria Ranalli. Important days on the social calendar for the sorority are the Founders ' Day banquet held in the spring, the an- nual Winter formal and the spring Rose Formal which introduces the new pledges. During the winter quarter, the traditional Gold Diggers dance is given for the actives by the pledge class, and during the month of June a picnic is given in honor of graduating seniors. Yearly the Alpha Xi ' s don jeans and wash any dirty cars on campus, for a slight fee, to raise funds for the Portage School for Retarded Children. The local chapter also assists the national group in raising money to help underprivileged children. The Beta Tau chapter is the proud owner of the Achieve- ment Cup won last year at the Province Day convention in Columbus. Both the national president and the pro ince president visited the chapter house in November.

After a successful first year as Alpha Chi Omegas, the local A Chi O ' s are quite sure that they ' re really here to stay. The girls on University drive are busy making a name for themselves on campus by participation in clubs, honoraries and all kinds of activities. In March, four musical A Chi O ' s walked off with the trophy in the Barbershop Quartet competition. On the social side, the Alpha Chi Omegas ' favorite event is the Lollipop Hop given winter quarter by the pledges for the actives, at which a Lollipop King is crowned. Manv fraternity parties liven up the social life at the A Chi O house, and spring quarter means the annual formal dance, held last year at the St. Francis hotel in Canton. The national project of the sorority is aiding the Cerebral Palsy Foundation raise money for research. The local chap- ter also adopts a needy family for a year, presents them with baskets of groceries, and holds parties for under-privileged children.

CHI OMEGA Chi Omega sorority was founded at the University of Arkansas in 1895, and moved to Kent State in 1947 to establish Lambda Delta chapter, their 100th chapter, at 311 N. Lincoln street. Chi Omega began their fourth year as a national sorority by taking second place in the sorority house decorations. At the same time Chi O Vinnie Mittiga was chosen attend- ant to the Homecoming Queen. Other royal honors won by Chi O ' s last spring included Most Popular Woman Gretchan Rader and Rowboat Regatta Queen Mollylou Bendure. New addition to the Chi Omega trophy collec- tion is the All-Sports trophy won last year. On the entertainment side, the Chi O ' s always have their social calendar well filled with fraternity parties, dinners and dances. An All-University Reception is traditionally given by the group, and winter quarter is the time of the Winter Formal. In April Founder ' s Day is celebrated with a banquet, and the Spring formal is the main event in the month of June. Each year the Chi Omega ' s sponsor the Duke of Kent contest to raise money for some University project, and they also present a yearly award to the outstanding woman in social science. The chapter went carolling to the homes of aged Kent people at Christmas time as part of Chi O ' s national policy of Christmas kindness. Something new was added at the Chi O house this year when meals were served for the first time, superintended by housemother Mrs. Agnes Thompson. Advisor of the group is Mrs. Esther Gray.

DELTA GAMMA Delta Gamma sorority was founded at Louis school, Oxford, Mississippi in 1873. December, 1947 was the date that the Gamma Epsilon chapter arrived on the University campus at 548 E. Summit street. Climaxing the winning of the all important Scholar- ship Cup, the Delta Gamma ' s won first place honors in both the Campus Day float parade and the sorority Song- fest competition. Mary Hoover and Phyllis Young added another first place trophy by winning Rowboat Regatta for the second straight year. And queens are numerous among the DCs . . . Miss Kent State Gerry Carroll, Kappa Sigma Sweetheart Lois Oakley, Kappa-Sigma-Nu Home- coming and Chestnut Burr Queen Mary Elaine Long. On the DG social calendar is the winter formal at the University club in Akron honoring the pledges, and the spring formal dinner-dance in May honoring the graduating seniors. Installation of officers is held at the Founder ' s Day banquet in March. The DCs work diligently to raise money for their con- tribution to the Aid to the Blind, the national Delta Gamma project. At Christmas time, the house is the scene of a party for underprivileged children. The chapter alumni spon- sored the printing of copies of the KSU Alma Mater which were distributed at football games during the year.

DELTA ZETA Delta Zeta sorority was founded at Miami university in 1902, and established the Gamma Kappa chapter on the Kent campus in April, 1948. This year the Delta Zeta ' s moved into their new home at 244 E. Main. Campus participation is nothing new to the Delta Zeta ' s, for they are always well represented in all campus activi- ties. The chapter is a 100% booster of the Booster club, and placed second in the sorority division of the 1951 Penny Carnival. The DZ ' s opened their year ' s social season with a fall hayride for their dates, and their event of the year is the annual Rose Ball held at Akron Women ' s City club in May. Green Trees inn was the scene of the annual Senior Breakfast at the end of the year, and in the fall the chapter held a tea in honor of the national travelling secretary of Delta Zeta. Both the national and local DZ ' s raise money to buy hear- ing aids for deaf children throughout the country. The chapter also works with the national group to knit layettes to be sent to Norway, in honor of Delta Zeta Princess Martha of Norway. The national Delta Zeta sorority honored Kent State uni- versity ' s Dr. Leslie Garnett by naming her to the Delta Honor Court this year. The Delta Zetas also can boast about their newly painted house, their huge sign and their housemother, Mrs. Agnes Sammons. Chapter advisor is Mrs. Hallock Raup. Delta Zeta names known on campus ....

GAMMA PHI BETA Gamma Phi Beta sorority was founded at Syracuse univer- sity in 1874, and nationalized Beta Zeta chapter at 520 N. Lincoln street in October, 1947. Boasting a majority of speech students among their chap- ter, the Gamma Phi Beta ' s have been represented in every production of the University Theater this year. The group also boasts a 100% membership in the Booster club, but its proudest possession is the Penny Carnival trophy which the Gamma Phi ' s won this year for the third consecutive time. The Gamma Phi ' s find their social life busy with ex- change dinners, fraternity parties, chapter dessert parties each Monday night, and date parties. I lonoring the fall pledge class, the Crescentia Ball is the event of the year at the Aurora Country club, and the Carnation Ball din- ner dance is held by the Gamma Phi ' s each spring quarter. Each year, a group of underprivileged Kent children are feted at a Christmas party at the sororitv house, and baskets of food and a Christmas tree are given to a needy family by the group also. The chapter also supports their national project of maintaining summer camps for underprivileged girls where Gamma Phi ' s are volunteer counsellors. Another national project is the Gamma Phi Beta social service fellowship awarded through A.A.U.W. Advisor to the Gamma Phi ' s is Miss Laura Hill, and Mrs. George Cockill is housemother at the Gamma Phi Beta abode. This year the actives redecorated the inside of the house and each girl followed her own color scheme. Gamma Phi Beta names in the news .... Janet Reed : honorary ROTC Lt. Colonel ....

Each of the eight sororities is equally represented on the Pan-Hellenic Council and each has an equal voice in determining the Greek policies on the campus. The sorority council brought many new ideas to Kent this year and led the eight member organizations through a highly successful rush season. For the first time, Pan-Hellenic presented a skit night before the annual ru.sb.ees Round Robin tour, instead of the usual all-sorority tea. The skit night, which was the effort of all sorority women on the campus, was a big success, and did an excellent job of informing prospective pledges just what sorority life would mean to them. In addition, this year Pan-Hellenic also took the initiative in adding to its activities a Sunday night all-sorority supper, in an all out effort to help improve and increase relations between the sororities. A rotating scholarship cup is presented annually to the sorority maintaining the highest cumulative point average during the year. Last spring the trophy was awarded to Delta Gamma, with Chi Omega and Delta Zeta as runners-up. Mrs. Margaret Swanson, newly appointed assistant dean of women, has done an admirable job of taking over the ad- visorship of the Pen-Hellenic league this year. 204 First Row: Ed Merkling, Jack Fihon, Dean Raymond Manchester, Guy Shelley, Kenny Cardinal.

INTER-FRATERNITY COUNCIL Inter-Fraternity Council is composed of the president and one elected member from each of the twelve member fraternities, and serves as the governing body for all fraternities on the Kent campus. It is responsible, through its member fraternities, for a positive contribution to the primary functions of the University and encourages complete personal development of its members, intellectually, physically, and socially. To this end, the Council offers as a yearly award, the Inter-Fraternity Scholarship Cup to the fraternity having the highest cumulative point average during the fall and winter quarters. The spirit of competition is promoted through intramural athletics, trophies being awarded to the winning fraternity in nine major sports. An all-intramural championship trophy is presented to the fraternity winning the most events and contests for the year. The Council further controls the rushing, pledging rules, and also acts as a go-between for the fraternities and the administration. Kent State university lists such prominent fraternity men as: Dr. George A. Bowman, presi- dent; Dr. Charles A. Atkinson, registrar: Dean Raymond E. Manchester, Dean of Men: Dean Arden L. Allyn, Dean of Business Administration; Dr. Raymond C. Clark, Dean of the graduate school; Professor E. Turner Stump, head of the school of speech; and Dr. A. Sellevv Roberts, head of the history department, to mention only a few. 205 First Row: Lowell Haru ' ood, Fred Gaskind, Earl Pollack, Dick Boch, secretary; Dr. William G.

Phi Deuteron Chapter ■ QQOQOOQ Founded April 9, 1949 206 ALPHA EPSILON PI Alpha Epsilon Pi ' s Phi Dcuteron chapter was founded at Kent State in 1946. After three years of diligent work as a local fraternity, it officially affiliated with the national fraternity on April 9, 1949. First and foremost in the minds of the brothers this year is the winning of the Inter-Fraternity-Council ' s Scholarship trophy, which they have won for the last two years. The AE ' s can gain permanent possession of the cup by winning it for three years in succession. Not that the AEs are bookworms, for on the social side, Phi D has built up the tradition of having a Wild West and Gay Paree party each year. In addition are the annual winter and spring formals plus countless house parties and exchange dinners held throughout the school year. Other traditional events are the semi-annual pledge trips to neighboring Alpha Epsilon Pi chapters in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Pennsvlvania. Each year the Kent chapter meets its nearest brother chapter at Akron university in football, basketball, and baseball. A rotating trophy is presented to the winner in each sport. Within the fraternity, annual awards are presented to the Most Valuable Brother, the outstanding foot- ball player, and the special Casanova Cup to the outstanding lover. All trophies are presented at either the winter or spring formals. Several AEPi ' s are now serving their school as stu- dent officers in such capacities as treasurer of Student Council and as vice-president of Men ' s Union. Three brothers have been selected by national honoraries, including Blue Key service; Pi Sigma Alpha, political science; and Chi Pi, journalism. The Varsity-K club has two brothers who have won their letters in track and as manager of the track team. Also on the athletic scene, the chapter has men on the swimming team and the soccer club. Three of the top men on the campus from AEPi are president Rick Lieberman; past president of the Booster club Joe Friedman, and Student Council treasurer Sandv Weiss.

College Street Local Founded 1931 208 ALPHA PHI BETA Founded in 1931 and ending its 20th year as a local fraternity. Alpha Phi Beta looks forward to the day that it may affiliate with .Alpha Tau Omega. Every Beta has made this his collegiate goal. Well known for their friendliness and good sports- manship, the men of Alpha Phi Beta are well repre- sented in university student government and extra curricular activities. Listed on the chapter roll are the presidents of Student Council, Men ' s Union and the junior class. Also listed are last year ' s Most Populai Man as well as several men in Student Council, Blue Key service fraternity, and various other student clubs and committees. The captain of KSU ' s soccer team, a member of the All-American Collegiate Soccer team, calls Alpha Phi Beta his fraternity. In the field of interfraternity athletics, the Betas consistently field a team of fine competitors. Not including the many weekly sorority house- parties and exchange dinners, the Betas find many of their week-ends booked solid on the social calen- dar. Outstanding social affair of the fall quarter is the Beta Ball when the members of the fraternity choose their freshman beauty queen to reign over the eve- ning ' s festivities. Started a few years ago, this event has become a tradition not only to the chapter, but to all freshman women as well. During the winter and spring seasons come the annual formal dances at a nearby countrv club or hotel. Annually since 1933, Alpha Phi Beta fraternity has awarded a Manhood Key to a male June graduate who upon receiving the award is acknowledged to be the outstanding graduate in character, scholarship and leadership. Listed among the wheels both in the chapter and on the University campus are Bill D ' Alexander, Past Pjesident of Student Council as well as a member of countless committees, Carl Nagle, president of Men ' s LInion, and charter president, Ty Merriman chosen to the Publication Policv committee.

Main Street Delta Omega Chapter Founded 1950 210 DELTA TAU DELTA The installation of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity on the 25th of February, 1950, brought to a close a 24 year service record of Gamma Tau Delta, local fra- ternity. Long one of the leaders in University activities, Delts have served in the past year as president ol Blue Key service fraternity and Interfraternity coun- cil, as fraternity editor of the Burr, as the business, advertising and circulation managers of the Stater, and as members in Student Council. In addition Delts have been active on the Entertainment and So- cial committees, SAM, Blue Key, the Choir, WKSU, Allocations and Publications Policy committees. Other brothers have served in various clubs and national honoraries and as writers and photographers for stu- dent publications. Only four Delts participated in varsity athletics during the 1950 seasons, but two of these were chosen as captains of the baseball and track teams and the other two were first stringers on the swimming and football squads. Always a strong contender in Inter-fraternity com- petition, the Delts finished a close second last year to Sigma Nu in the athletic trophy race. Known for their social prestige, the men of Delta Tau Delta have a full social calendar. The Shelter has always been the scene of many sorority parties, exchange dinners, and week-end buffet suppers. Traditional social affairs of the fraternity are the spring and summer formals and this past year saw the first Anniversary Ball at Aurora Inn during the winter quarter. Serenades and informal gatherings round out a full year of good times. Three Delts, all chosen to Who ' s Who in 1950. are listed among the leaders on the campus. They are chapter president Guy Shelley who also served as president of Blue Key service fraternity and IFC as well as Business Manager of the Stater; Dave Brand, vice-president of SAM, student founder of the Atomic Age course and chairman of the Assembly commit- tee; and Dick Morrow, political chairman of the Nu- K party ' and member of the political science honorary Pi Sigma Alpha.

DELTA UPSILON Delta Upsilon has the distinction of being the first national fraternity founded at Kent, coming onto the campus Dec. 28 1948. It was twenty-six years earlier that this same DU became Kent ' s first local fra- ternity, Kappa Mu Kappa. Noted for their active school participation, both social and athletic, DLl ' s compete in varsity football, baseball, basketball, swimming, wrestling and tennis. During the past year of inter-fraternity competition. Delta Upsilon finished in third place in the trophy race, winning firsts in swimming, golf and bowling. Besides their work on the Stater and the Burr, DU ' s have helped edit the Student Directory and have served in Blue Key service fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi, and WKSU. The big social event of the year is the traditional painting of the campus K by the sweetheart of Delta Upsilon and her serenade by the fraternity which serves to open Campus Day festivities. Last year at these same festivities DU won Songfest honors of the day in Greek competition. Rounding out the social year are the annual Winter and Spring formal dances plus a campus serenade each fall and spring quarter. Each year DU sponsors a Christmas party for needy children of the area and monthly the chapter donates to the Portage county fund for retarded chil- dren. Since 1948, the local chapter of Delta Upsilon has helped welcome four new chapters into the national fraternity; Dennison, Bowling Green, Buchnell and Texas universities. This past Christmas the DU ' s began a new campus tradition, an all-University serenade together with the Alpha Xi Delta sorority. They plan to make this an annual affair in addition to their other general open- ing quarter serenades. DU ' s leading the way around campus— Chapter president, Kenny Cardinal; Bill Beaver King, editor of the I. F. C. publication on fraternity life; Ted Chernak, business manager of the Burr and member of Blue Key; and Art Friedman, co-editor of the Stu- dent Directory, business manager of Rowboat Re- gatta and member of the Blue Kev service fraternity.

Main Street Kent State University Chapter Founded 1948 213 THETA KAPPA PHI Theta Kappa Phi became the fifth national fraternity to come onto the Kent campus on the 3rd of Decem- ber, 1949. Before its nationalization the group had been known as the Friars fraternity. Operating as a national social fraternity for Catho- lic young men, the Theta Kap ' s have earned the reputation of being one of Kent ' s most progressive fraternities. The chapter has made a name for itself in this area by bringing two top name bands to Kent for concerts, the proceeds of which were donated to some University benefit. Besides being credited with the largest single dona- tion toward the KSU stadium drive, the Theta Kap ' s are very active in extra-curricular activities around school. Chapter members serve on Blue Key fraternity, the cheerleaders squad, radio station WKSU, Men ' s Union, the Chestnut Burr, and the Daily Kent Stater. In the Greek world, the fraternity introduced the newly tried educational program now in progress on the campus, which has replaced the old fraternity hell week system for pledges. In the past two years the chapter has made great steps forward socially. Among the highlights of the year are the annual Founders Day dinner, the spring banquet, a traditional active-pledge dinner and formal dances during the fall, winter, and spring quarters. At the Founders Day banquet, a scholarship trophy is awarded to the graduating senior with the highest cumulative point average for his collegiate career. Helping Theta Kappa Phi maintain its position in school leadership is chapter president Lou Spinetti; Tom Drouillard, secretary of Blue Key, Penny Carni- val co-chairman 1950; and Emil Kemasovich, writer on the Stater and Chestnut Burr staffs.

The baby national wasted no time in making its mark on the campus scene for it won the coveted I lomecoming decorations award and saw one of its members reign as TVVIRP King all in the first three months of the new school year. The social calendar of the chapter is filled from the first day of school to the very last one. Among its traditional affairs, events such as the Sweetheart dance, the spring formal, the Founders Day dinner and the annual Freshman queen dance rank as high- lights of the year. In addition, the Kappa Sig ' s co- sponsor an annual Homecoming queen with Sigma Nu fraternity. The queen reigns over the football bat- tle for the G. I. jug between Kappa Sig and Sigma Nu and presents the winner the cup at a Victory dance held in her honor. Brothers of Kappa Sig are serving their school in Student Council, Men ' s Union, Allocations commit- tee and Elections committee. Athletically, the chapter is well supported in var- sity football, basketball and track. In addition, two men serve as managers of the swimming and wrestling teams. All of these athletes are lettermen and mem- bers of Varsity K . Each year at Christmas time, the Kappa Sig ' s have a big party for the underprivileged children of Kent, treating them to the traditional tree and many fine presents. Kappa Sig ' s in the headlines— Vince Herst, president of the fraternity, president of the Senior class, mem- ber of Blue Key service fraternity and member of the Assembly committee; Bill Pike, chapter treasurer and . member of Blue Key; and junior Frank Kelly, mem- ber of the all important Allocations committee of Stu- dent Council.

During their first vear of fraternity competition, the Sigma Delt ' s won trophies for sponsoring the Junior- Senior Prom queen and for a 009c membership in the Booster club. They also saw one of their brothers selected as the Duke of Kent. And while still a club they won a first in Campus Day float competition. Sigma Delts serve the university with a brother on the Elections committee and two others serving as Senior and Sophomore class treasurers. The editor of the Chestnut Burr is also a member of Sigma Delta. Sig Delts are active players on both the track and tennis squads and all members of the chapter arc active in inter-mural athletics. Socially the chapter is moving ahead fast in the entertainment of sororities at house parties and ex- change dinners. Traditional social calendar events in- clude the Founder ' s Day dinner each Oct. 15 plus a fall, winter, and spring quarter formal dance. At the end of the school year, Sigma Delta alumni return to the campus to take on the active chapter in a round- robin of sporting events. A one-year scholarship is awarded each year to some deserving freshman entering Kent State for the first time. The newly recognized chapter is now in the process of organizing plans which they hope will some day result in the affiliation with a national fraternity. Prominent Sigma Delt ' s around the campus are Jerry Haynam, president of the fraternity; Murray Campbell, Editor-in-Chief of the Chestnut Burr; and Bill Detwiler. member of the Student council elec- tions committee and chairman of the Central Com- mittee of Clubs and 1 Ionoraries.

SIGMA NU Sigma Nu Fraternity was installed on this campus, March 19, 1949 after 25 years as a strong local group, Delta Phi Sigma. 1 [ighlight of the past year was the recapturing of the all-intramural Sports trophy which was returned to the fraternity ' s trophy case for the 15th time in the last 19 years. To win this prized trophy, the chap- ter won seven first place cups and one second in fra- ternity competition. More important in another respect to Sigma Nu, was the winning by the fraternity of the 1950 Campus Day float contest and later in the year the annual Rowboat Regatta cup. This the chapter hoped would show that athletic ability was not its only achieve- ment. In the fall of each year, the Sigma Nu ' s cooperate with Kappa Sigma in sponsoring the traditional Kappa-Sigma-Nu I Iomecoming, which features a touch football game between the two fraternities. The winner gains a year ' s possession of the old G. I. jug which is presented to the victor by the Queen of the day ' s festivities at the Victory dance also co- sponsored by the two fraternities. Big nights on the social calendar are the spring and winter formals and the annual Scummers Hop given in honor of the actives by the fall pledge class. In service to the school, Sigma Nu is more than adequately represented in Student Council, Booster club. Blue Key service, numerous national honoraries, IIPE and Varsity K clubs as well as the Kent Stater and Burr. An important goal of the chapter is to win the I. F. C. Scholarship cup this year, since for the last two years the fraternity has placed a close second and wants to add this all important trophy to its list of accompl ishments, Sigma Nu ' s in the campus limelight— Jack Filson, chapter president; Danny Miller, Blue Key secretary, business manager of the Student Directory and mem- ber of Sorority-Fraternity policy committee; and Bill Reppa, Varsity K vice-president, member of Blue Key, Allocations and Publications Policy committees.

Main Street Local Founded 1938 222 PHI BETA PHI Founded in 1938 by five men from Akron university, the fraternity grew rapidly until the war caused its deactivation. Back on campus as an active group in 1945, the group is now on the threshold of becoming a chapter of Sigma Chi national. The year 1950 was a good one for Phi Beta Phi. It saw the fraternity win the all-University baseball championship in both the spring and summer quar- ters, plus the inter-fraternity crown in this sport. The chapter added to its trophy case the Manchester Cup for the best fraternity library, a 100% Booster Club membership trophy, and topped the year off with a second place award in the Homecoming decorations judging. Varsity athletic teams have among others an All- Ohio football player, captain of the cross country track team and a member of the University Soccer club. Many Phi Bet ' s serve their school in Student Council, Social committee. Blue Key service fraternity. Men ' s Union, SAM, Delta Sigma Pi, Chi Pi and Scabbard and Blade. The Burr and Sinter also claim Phi Beta Phi ' s as writers and the Stater ' s assistant busi- ness manager is also a member of the fraternity. The organization ' s social highlights include the annual spring and winter formal dances, the Summer Frolic, the sponsoring of an excursion for under privileged to a Cleveland Indians ball game and a party for the same group of kids each Christmas time. Also included are the usual fraternity activities such as sorority house parties, serenades and exchange dinners. Big men around campus from Phi Beta Phi are: chapter President John Kapioltas, who was chosen for Who ' s Who for 1950, and who serves as chair- man of the Blue and Gold party and as chairman of the Social Committee; Parker Voll, business man- ager of the Kent Stater, Hal Simmonds, editor of the Kent Stater; Leo Damore and Chuck Fletcher, mem bers of more committees than any other two men on campus.

Lincoln Street Local Founded 1947 224 PHI GAMMA THETA Completing its third year as a Creek letter organiza- tion. Phi Gamma Theta is among the youngest of the campus fraternities, having been founded in April, 1947. Known on campus as a fraternity with a spirit, the Phi Cam ' s started out the new year with an honor- able mention in the Homecoming decorations com petition. Though small in number, they serve their school well both athletically and socially having brothers on the football, baseball, track and swimming teams. Phi Gam ' s have also served in activities such as Student Council, Blue Key, Men ' s Union and the Burr and S rarer. Inter-fraternity competition finds the Phi Gam ' s consistently strong, tying for first place in intramural swimming and taking a second in their football league. Last spring they defeated all comers in win- ning the Greek Tug-of-War contest. If points were awarded for social prestige, the chapter would rate near the top of the list. Annual traditional events include the Corduroy and Tweed dance in the spring, the Winter formal, the Founders Day banquet and a party given for the children in the University ' s Speech and Hearing clinic. The fra- ternity also is the sponsor of the annual Greek Tug- of-War held the morning of the Rowboat Regatta. Every year the chapter gives a scholarship to a child with a hearing deficiency. All expenses are paid for a full summer ' s training in the Speech and Hearing clinic. The Phi Gam ' s also have their own scholarship fund which gives financial aid to a member who not only needs it, but one who has proven himself to be worthy of receiving it. Campus leaders from the chapter include Phi Gam President Ed Merkling: Who ' s Who in 1950, mem- ber of Blue Key and Student Council Elections com- mittee;.

Today that same club has grown into a fine national fraternity, Phi Kappa Tau, and just recently celebrated its second anniversary as a national organ- ization. If any fraternity has a goal to strive for, it is Phi Kappa Tau. Twice in the last two years the fraternity has had to settle for a second place award in the Cam- pus Day float competition, and they vow that this will be their year for the big win. Phi Tau ' s can be found in competition by attend- ing University athletic events such as varsity swim- ming, basketball and baseball. And in the inter-fra- ternity wars the chapter never fails to put forth a good team. The big one last year was the fraternity swim meet when the Phi Tau ' s took first place honors. This year during the sporting season, the chapter hopes to add a few new awards to their growing trophy case. Inter-fraternity Council, Men ' s Union, Blue Key service fraternity and many various clubs and hon- oraries all have Phi Kappa Tau ' s members serving their University. The fraternity ' s big social affairs of the past year were the Founder ' s Day banquet at the Acacia Coun- try Club, the annual Spring formal, and the tradi- tional Dream Girl formal dance at which the Sweet- heart of Phi Kappa Tau is queen for a night. Every two years these locally chosen queens are entered into national competition at which time a convention com- mittee chooses the national Sweetheart of Phi Kappa Tau. Outstanding leaders of the fraternity who also have time for campus activities are chapter President, Bill Ryan, a member of Blue Key service, IFC rushing chairman, and Chuck Irish, secretary of the chapter, member of the Elections committee and of the Booster club and Blue Key fraternity.

It had its beginning as the Tau Kappa club back in 1947 and was recognized as a local fraternity in 1949. Most outstanding event of the past year was the fraternity ' s Nationalization formal at the Akron Women ' s City club following the installation of the chapter into Phi Sigma Kappa. Though comparatively young, Phi Sig is fast be coining a very active group with its members serving such organizations as SAM, Phi Chi, Blue Key serv- ice and the Kent Stater. In addition the chapter boasts the treasurer of the Junior class and members chosen by Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities. In athletics, the swimming team and the baseball squad have athletes who are Phi Sigs and all mem- bers of the chapter take an active part in the inter- fraternity competitions. Proudly the chapter points to its second place award in the Inter-Fraternity Council Scholarship trophy. Discounting their many regular fraternity social functions, the Phi Sigs consider their annual Snow Ball ' ' dance as the social highlight of the year. Still another important affair is the fraternity ' s annual Founder ' s Day banquet and the selection of the Phi Sigma Kappa Moonlight Girl. This Oueen is en- tered in the national fraternity ' s beauty contest. The winner chosen at the national convention reigns as Queen of Phi Sigma Kappa. Last year marked the beginning of another tradi- tion, when the Phi Sigs sponsored an entrant in the Soap Box Derby. A 12 year old Kent boy was the first to wear the colors of Phi Sigma Kappa. Prominent members of Phi Sigma Kappa in and around campus are chapter President John Crowley; Vice-President John Collins, a member of Blue Key, new editor of the Stater, a member of Student Coun- cil and treasurer of Chi Pi; and Mark Commons, the treasurer of the Junior class.

A big step forward was taken by the Beta Pi Chapter last fall when the chapter moved into its own house on Main Street. The pledge programs begin in the fall and winter quarters. The requirements for membership are enrollment in the School of Business Administration and a 2.5 cumulative average. For the first time, the Delta Sig ' s entered the Homecoming Day contest as well as several other competitive activities. The purposes of this fraternity are to foster the study of business in universities; to encourage scholarship, social activity, and the association of students for their mutual advancement by research and practice; to promote a closer affiliation between the commercial world and students of commerce, and to further a higher standard of commercial ethics and culture and the civic and commercial welfare of the com- munity. The group is moving forward under the able leadership of Gerald Scott, head- master, assisted by George Reeder, Norman Beardman, William Sweeney, Kenneth Wertz, John Ingram, Paul Neuhann, John Rinderknecht, John Broos, and Vincent Chiarucci. Mr. W. Harold Martin is the advisor. During the few years the Beta Pi chapter existed at Kent, it has sponsored many outstanding speakers.

The party was organized after the spring elec- tion of 1949 determined to contribute their part to campus politics. Aware of the wrongs of one dominate party, the Nu-K advocates attempted to establish a wholesome two party system. In order to establish themselves as a tightly knit organization they formed a constitution which anounced their principles. Convinced that the in- dependent student is not sufficiently represented on campus, Nu-K is pledged to reverse this situation. The party goes outside the organization to find candidates. Their platform is established on the belief that politics is everyone ' s job; not just the business of a chosen few. Nu-K is presently composed of nine organiza- tions: Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Xi Delta, and Delta Gamma sororities; and Delta Tau Delta, Delta Upsilon, Sigma Delta, Phi Gamma Theta. Phi Kappa Tau, and Theta Kappa Phi fraternities. The officers are: Richard Morrow, chairman; Ed- ward Merkling, vice-chairman; Emil Kernasovich, treasurer; and Flo McNaughton, secretary.

BLUE AND GOLD This organization made its first appearance on campus in 1936, but in 1940, it disbanded to form an all-greek group. Blue and Gold, as a party, did not reappear on the political scene again until the spring of 1946. A powerful Student Association had united with the coalition party in the meantime to control campus politics. Within the ranks  f this merger was the material from which the present Blue and Gold party was wrought. It was literally thrown together for the May student council election in 1946. Four formerly unaffiliated greek organizations joined the Blue and Gold party in a pre-campaign revision scheme October of 1947. Hereafter Blue and Gold never lost an election. When the Blue Star party was dissolved follow- ing the controversial spring election of 1949, there was not a single organized group strong enough to cope with B.G. power. Eleven greek letter fraternities and sororities form the membership of this party: Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Phi, Chi Omega, Delta Zeta, and Gamma Phi Beta sororities, and Alpha Epsilon Pi, Alpha Phi Beta, Kappa Sigma, Phi Beta Phi, Sigma Nu, and Phi Sigma Kappa fraternities. The policy of the Blue and Gold party has been to better campus politics through placement of capable individuals. As part of their program, they hope to put Kent on the map with the issuance of athletic scholarships. Top, First Row: Carl Nagle, treasurer; John Kapioltas. chairman. Second Rove: Joseph R.
