To college students throughout the United States, it ' s more than just a year . . . more than just a passage of time. It ' s a step forward. It ' s a step in our progress from being just plain kids to being capable of leading our fellow man and helping to shape the destiny of the world. It has been a year of study, fun, worry and responsi- bility. The world has revolved many times and a great deal has happened . . . not just here at the University, but everywhere ... in the United States and in Ohio. This particular edition of the Chestnut Burr is going to tell the story of the last year . . . the year of 1951-52. It ' s not just going to list what happened, however. That means nothing . . . but it ' s going to show the gaiety . . . the study . . . the sadness . . . and the companionship of the last year ... as it affects you mdividually. the University in particular, Ohio in general and finally, the United States. It represents your mark in your college days. That ' s In 1952 . . . how At Kent State University In Kent, Ohio it was ♦ ♦ ♦ Soft lights, silk brocade and a joint session are shown here. With the gallery filled, typically democratic, and with two major parties represented in the session, typically democratic. the Congress of the U. S. listens to the President discuss his view s on the condition of the country. This group, our governing body, is one of the most colorful gatherings of our country. The headlines read . . . MacArthur Fired; Ridgway Takes Over. This comparative un- known. General Matthew B. Ridgway. took over the Pacific forces after one of the most disputed military-political actions in history. That ' s how it was . . . The word Korea screamed for attention in the United States for 1952. Troops bobbed above and below the 38th parallel . . . the male element of the country sat. waited and wondered when they would be called to serve . . . while Congress sat in long sessions and bickered. Industry geared for full scale production again. Kefauver and his cohorts exposed the corrup- tion in the country and the MacArthur dismissal stirred up one of the biggest controversies of the year. But the nation had time for fun too. Lake shores and amusement parks were the scene of many jovial family picnics and Bobby Feller pitched the third no-hitter of his career. The era of folk music returned with Come On To My House . . . while Mario Lanza brought classical music before the general public. The basketball scandal shocked the sports enthus- iasts and proved that Kefauver had something. Pol- itics became more and more of a question as the year wore on . . . speeches became longer as time to election became shorter. These items, both good and bad, were the things which affected us on the national scene this year. In 1952 In The United States This wind tunnel is another of the signs of the times . . . the speed age. No-hit pitchers meet. The Clevelander is Bobby Feller with Yankee Allie Reynolds. The New York hearings were the highUght of the Kefauver committee. Ohio, bounded on the south by the twisting Ohio river, is a cosmopolitan area. The sereneness of a corn field blowing in the cool breezes is contrasted here with the churning stern-wheeler pushing a load of industrial bound coal. The farmer and his fields is just as much a part of Ohio as is the industrial man and his tools or the business man and his briefcase. TTiis is our state. Belching, black smoke, towering factory chimneys and the orange-red glow of a Bessemer converter reflected in a polluted river are typical of the giant industry of Ohio. The national political scene was entered into by Republican Sen- ator Robert A. Taft. the favorite political son of the Buckeye state. That ' s ho w it was ♦ . ♦ In 1952 In The State of Ohio . . . With its rolling hills, colorful farm land and majestic rivers, Ohio was where we spent our tirne in 1952. Senator Taft was the big man politically from this area, while Governor Lausche in the state capitol was heard from a good bit too. Akron ' s rubber plants and Youngstown ' s steel mills were Ohio ' s contribution to the indus- trial scene. The Ohio turnpike was a big question. Pennsylvania ended theirs in the middle of a cornfield. The rest was up to Ohio. While this happened, the showboat plodding the Ohio brought back memories of Kent. The showboat Majestic. pushed by the little tug Attaboy. reminded many of Kent. In the heart of Columbus, the capitol stood as the guardian of the state ' s government. jy . ' t,M ' mc :: •4 i S ' ri . ' v That ' s How It Was At Kent In 1952 . . . The modem world brings sci- ence within the reach of all. A little bit of tradition supplanted by a great deal of modernness, sums up the characteristics of a young, growing school . . . Kent State University. Dr. Roberts of the history department, his bulldog and his ships are remembered by many as symbolic of Kent, while the art gallery in the new modern practical arts building provides the contrast of modernness. Staler sponsored Rowboat Regatta is another of the traditions which, along with Campus Day. Homecom- ing and table hopping in the Hub. offsets the scientific, modern approach of McGilvery hall science courses. This fine balance between tradition and modernness provides a healthful atmosphere for a rapid growth. Plenty of aches and pains . . . but the Kent f egatta is traditional. A weather-beaten, ' rockbound coast line, interpreted by a true artist, occupies the attention of two Kent students. Ed DeTomaso and Mary Lou Maple stop and look at one of the exhibits shown in the art gallery. Military history . . . something which affects our generation in a practical sense is a favorite of Dr. Roberts of the history department. This man, with his bulldog and his model ships, has become a tradition of Kent.

The briskness of football weekends paved the way for the formal dances of the winter quarter and the crunch of snow underfoot. The traditional events of the sprmg quarter were highlighted last year by the band ' s trip to Philadelphia. In the picture on the opposite page, Mindy Carson, star of stage and screen, is shown autographmg the bass drum. Interspersing these activities with U. T. productions, table hopping at the Hub and big names in assemblies, a composite picture of campus life is seen.

Dowd. both of them. With the paper wrap- pings of his new est purchase still in his grasp. Jim lacovazzo. who played the living Dowd. gazes thoughtfully at his friend. Has anyone seen Harvey? Did you ever notice after a public performance how the applause increases greatly every time the fea- tured performer returns to the stage for a curtain call? This happened on the University auditorium stage on the nights of Feb. 28 and March I, 2 and 3, 1951. It was the University Theater production of Harvey. After the final curtain had been pulled the encores began, as usual. The applause was generous and steady . . . but nothing spectacular. Then on the right side of the stage, a door opened, hesitated a moment, and closed again. The cast on the stage moved their heads slowly from left to right fol- lowing a little imaginary character across the stage. The applause soared into the heights and your throat had a little lump in it. Your eyes were seeing a happy sight. Physically you couldn ' t see a thing, but in your heart, in your mind ' s eye, you saw a lot. You saw the complexities of life all wrapped up in a tall, distinguished pooka . . . rabbit in ordinary language. This pooka, not worried about applause, not worried about making a big name for him- self, but just contributing his part to life in gen- eral, was probably on his way to Charlies place. He didn ' t stay on the stage long. For soon, the door on the left side of the stage opened, hesitated a moment, and closed again . . and Harvey had had his curtain call.

As if a world-shaking event was taking place on campus, equipment laden press photographers from all over the United States and Canada converged on Kent for the Tenth Annual Press Photography Short Course. Discussion of techniques new to the press photog- raphy field, comparison of ideas and a picture shooting contest are the chief purposes of the annual ten year old event. Some of the more prominent persons who attended the course are Yousef Karsh of Ottawa, renowned portrait photographer; Joseph Costa, photo super- visor of the New York Sunday News and Gordon Kuster, chief photographer of the Columbus Dispatch. The numerous panel discussions of the day gave way after dark to typically masculine bull sessions on all phases of photography . . . shutters to cheesecake. 16 During a special celebration at last year ' s Short Course, i I members were honored for having attended the course all ten years since its beginning. They are: Henry C. Beck, Jr., Kent State University Robert Coon B. F. Goodrich Company Bert Emanuel Detroit Free Press Ernie Grass Youngstown Vindicator Julius Greenfield, Akron Beacon Journal Richard Kern, Belleville (111.) News-Democrat J. Winton Lemen, manager, Eastman Kodak Don Mohler General Electric, Nela Park Arthur Murray, College of Wooster Hy Schwartz, Kalart Company Eck Stanger, Ann Arbor (Mich.) News A professional model follows the directions of Short Courser Frank Scherschel, assistant picture editor of Life magazine, as he explains the effect of a cer- tain type of portrait lighting to a discussion group. s t I I The distinct group of professional people known as press photog- raphers, who are usually associated with the grimness. pathos, violence, sorrow and drama of everyday life, relax a bit from their daily chores at the annual Short Course. Nationally fa- v mous. from leadmg newspapers and magazines all over the coun- try, these photographers are attending one of the numerous lec- tures on new developments in their field of photography. Appar- ently the speaker to this group has not lost his sense of humor. Three top photographers sit and view a salon exhibit. They are, from left to right, George Yates, one of the officials of the Short Course; Perry Cragg, chief photog- rapher of the Cleveland News; and Gordon Kuster, chief photographer of the Colum- bus Dispatch. Assisting in the exhibit are: standing from left to right. Earl Fidler, KjSU student: Professor Dario Politella of the school of journalism at Kent; Norman Salem and Don Friedman, both students. 17 Anne of the Thousand Days ' It was dress rehearsal night ... a few outsiders were sitting in the first rows of seats . . . and the auditorium was black. The red glow of a cigarette puffed upon by one of the stage crew cut through the darkness. At the same time the whirrrr of the curtain indicated that the last rehearsal was underway . . . but it was still black. Slowly, a spotlight was pinpointed upon Anne. Her simple face, expressing none of her pent up emotions, was illuminated dramatically. For the next two hours the middle ages of England were brought to life by U. T. ' s production of Anne of the Thousand Days. At the end of the play, Anne resumed her original place, the spotlight was slowly dimmed and the stage hand in the front row puffed again on his cigarette. King Henry VIII, Harding Olsen, gazes thoughtfully, while Anne, Norma Home, pleads to be kissed after their marriage. 18 Anne, Norma Home, extreme left, sits in the court room while she is being tried for adultery. Others in this climactic scene from the University Theater ' s production of Anne of the Thousand Days are: left to right, Clerk of the Court played by Bill Morris; King Henry VIII. Harding Olsen; Duke of Norfolk. Larry Bah- ler; Lord Cromwell. Vera Roberts; Court Bailiff. Dale Breck- buhler; and Henry Norris played by Bill Feaster. The show was directed by Earle E. Curtis, assistant professor of speech. With a supernatural air about herself. Anne, played by Norma Home, sits calmly at the close of the play knowing that she is con- demned to die. In this photo she is reliving her past in a few short memories. She thinks mostly of her time spent with Kmg Henry.

But students at Kent will be quick to ascert that vaudeville has never gone out. Each year all the unknown talent which exists around the campus is brought out into the open, dusted off and produced Roll out the ' ' Pork Barrel for the benefit of the student body and all Hollywood casting agents within eye or ear shot. The event in which these skits, dances and comedy routines are staged is called Pork Barrel. But there is more than pork in the barrel. There is a great quantity of corn . . . and some ham, but regardless of this, when it is prepared for several weeks and much seasoning has been added, it is quite surprising how very appealing Pork Barrel really is. Last years production was a cross-breeding of the nation ' s top amateur talent shows with a pinch of typical KSU frivolity added at the opening and sprinkled generously between acts. Eleven campus organizations reached the finals in the May 4, 1951 extravaganza. Trophies are given to the winners in three groups. The Alpha Phi Betas, winners of the competition among fraternities, catch their new pledge and attempt to get him back on his feet after he received his draft notice. It said he was I -A. 20 The highlight of the evening ' s entertainment was the appearance of the Moulton hall Dream land skit. People strained from the balcony and stirred in all sections of the auditorium as line after line of synchronized dance teams slid across the stage. Complete with identical costumes and definite evidence of many, many hours of practice, these girls thrilled the audience. In this par- ticular chorus line, the girls, from left to right, are: Joan Arick. Marlene Hamblin, Connie Gannis. Bobbie Brazee. Mary Ellen Butin, Penny Wells. Joycelyn Harrah, Marty Garver, Carol Worm and Maxine Shmgler. However, other girls in other dance routmes deserve just as much credit as do these girls. The pre- cision dancing of these amateurs, resembling the Rockettes of New York Radio City Music Hall fame, easily won the trophy in the independent women ' s division of the contest. Turnabout is fair play, so they say, and the professors of Kent set out to prove it last year. Tired of having their talents frustrated each year, the pro- fessors produced their own Pork Barrel.

But the mass of humanity which swarmed over the campus and over flowed into the nearby streets did not seem to mind. The wicked winter was over, the rainy season had passed and this day marked the social culmination of another school year. Campus day had arrived. And for thirteen and a half hours, students of Kent relaxed. June 2, 1951 was the top social event of last year. From the opening event of refurbishing the year long forgotten K with a new paint job to the final kiss of the evening, this was the day of days. As the sunlight filtered through the arched trees lining Terrace drive, the floats lined up early in the morning in preparation for the afternoon parade through the streets of Kent. With the streets lined with students and townspeople, the serious theme of the floats proved that all is not strictly fun at college. P i H S K. ■ ' ' MJiR PJ slkkl c lU ' VlA. ik- ' X ' il l H l H Here is Delta Tau Delta ' s prize winning float. Depicting the struggle of Joe College against failure, the rowing Joe won the fraternity division for the Delts. Later in the afternoon, led by Jim Tu- shar, the Delts also won the fraternity songfest by singing the English marching favorite. John Peel. Campus Day, June 2, 1951 will be long remembered in the Delta Tau Delta house on Main street. 22 The big parade got off to a good start and the right mood was created by the American Commons club. Their float, which won the independent prize, was titled Campus Fiesta and gave Campus Day a touch of the Mardi Gras spirit. They even had Spanish music. ♦ ♦ ♦ memories of the day of days There, with the music of the band floating in ail directions, the Maypole dancers nimbly pranced around in perfect symmetry. The May Queen was crowned in a simple ceremony made complicated by her corps of youthful attendants. The long processional of the Queen up the hill to the slow, deliberate flow of band music was thrilling. After some people had crawled down from the trees and others had backed away from the curb when the parade was over, they reclined on the campus hillside to enjoy the songfest. Here, as the sun moved toward the horizon and with a trace of a cool breeze, the songfest was held. As the groups formally filed on and off the platform, thoughts of the evening ' s dance flitted in and out of many minds. And even now, many memories of this day are flitting through many minds. With an out of season pumpkin riding on the back of their con- vertible towed float and their own Cinderella stepping from the pumpkin, the Alpha Chi Omegas won the sorority float competi- tion. The title of their float was Cinderella Girls ... In By 12. A tradition within a tradition, that of painting the K behind Rockwell library on Campus Day, got the festivities off to a good start. Sponsored by Delta Upsilon fraternity, their queen. Joann Hall, grabbed a bucket and brush and did her job. Then, that night in Will ' s gymnasium, in stifling heat which pro- vided for an informal atmosphere, the Campus Day dance was held. The awards were announced here, the May Queen and her court were presented. Bob Chester played and he also autographed. Campus Day Queen. Miss Jessica Perry 23 In the above picture, Phyllis Slack and Beaver King of the Stater staff, grab a line thrown to them by a passing motorboat manned by students. Object of this bit of strategy is to defeat the faculty boat, which had challenged the Staler crew. Rowers for the faculty were Frederick Davidson, psychology and James Rinier, geography. Other winners in the annual Stater sponsored Rowboat Regatta were independent women. Moulton Hall, Betty Ann Schmid and Carole Root. Sorority winners were Pat Long and Lou Kaupinen for Delta Gamma, the second year in a row for the DCs. In the men ' s division, both winners repeated for the second time. Ben Steele rowed alone for Sigma Nu fraternity, while a brother act, John and Len Pohlod won for Stopher Hall. 24 Muscles, Blisters Rowboat Regatta These girls were chosen as finalists in the queen competition. From left to right, they are: Delores Weinke, Helen Bauch. Norma Lou Home. Marilyn Wilbanks. Janet Reed. Nellie Lou Williams, Eleanor Mann and Pat Hawkins. Nellie Lou Williams was chosen queen. While the people in the back almost pushed the people in front into the water, the start of one of the races is watched carefully. Some of the more fortunate crowd out on to one of the piers at Brady lake, while the really fortunate watch from their own boat. ' May 26, 1951 is a date that will live long to Kent students. Two things happened on that day. In the morning the draft eligible portions of the males toiled through three hours on draft deferment tests . . . and in the afternoon muscles were strained and blisters were raised at the annual Rowboat Regatta. A real carnival atmosphere pervaded the long caravan of cars which gathered m front of Engle- man Hall to begin the trek to Brady lake. A sound truck led the way followed by an endless strmg of convertibles carrying the queen candidates. Stopping all traffic and with much crepe paper and hornblowing, this was just a sample of what would follow. With a slightly overcast sky and a cool brisk breeze blowing, the crowd packed around the reviewing stand in anticipation of the parade of queens. And they paraded . . . much to the delight of the males. The races which followed were filled with sus- pense . . . the boats were filled with water . . . but no one drowned . . . and it didn ' t rain in typical Kent tradition until the activities were almost over. Although the day was dark and murky throughout, the rain held off until the boat races were over. They finally came, but at a time that made the event which followed that much more interesting. A tug-of-war contest, to pull the other team through a muddy hole, was sponsored by the Phi Gam ' s. With the rain pouring down, everybody got slightly muddy. In this photograph the Alpha Phi Beta team is shown strain- ing their muscles and digging in with their toes. It was all in vain, though, because Delta Tau Delta won the contest. 25 Queen Pat Mueller receives an award from Johnny Long, famous bandleader. After having promoted the wildest of celebrations before and during football and basketball games, the Booster club settled down last spring quarter to provide something a little more dignified to the student body. With no chance for winding snake-dances, the club spon- sored the April Showers dance at the East Market gardens in Akron. Johnny Long and his orchestra played for the dance, which was the first big dance sponsored by the club. For some of the freshmen attending the dance it was their first visit to East Market gardens, scene of many all-university dances . . . but for the seniors, who were to be graduated in a few months, it was old stuff. It was just another event in the series of social activities that typify college life at Kent. The April Showers dance ♦ ♦ ♦ minus rain Johnny Long stands on the extreme left and watches the crowd enjoy his ace trumpeteer at the April Showers dance. 26 For the first time in graduation history, the number of guests allotted to each graduate was unlimited. The reason for this pleasant change was the fact that the graduation ceremonies were held for the first time in the new men ' s health and physical education building. In this photo, led by the choir, the guests and the entire graduating class sing the alma mater for the last time. A total of 854 persons were graduated at this commencement. With their tas- sels dangling in front of their misty eyes, these graduates listen to the com- mencement speaker. Awaiting the re- ceipt of their diplomas, they are prob- ably thinking of the good years that they have spent here. There were flowers everywhere, the choir was singing, smiles of happiness and proudness were on the faces of parents. while smiles of relief and wonderment were on the faces of the graduating class. The parents, with their proud smiles were beaming with satisfaction as they saw their sons and daughters receive diplomas after four years of hard work and fou r years of grow- ing up. No longer did these parents have children, but rather they had grown men and women in their families. For those graduating, this day was also a milestone, ranking with birth, marriage and death as a great moment in life, this years graduation came at a critical time in history. The result of four years study The international turmoil was enough to discourage the most capable person. Indecision seemed to be the byword of the times. Questions such as Will I be drafted? and What do 1 do now? occupied the thoughts of this graduating class. But after four years of higher education, these people were able to sit down and figure out the answers to most of these questions. After four years of concentrated education, these people were equipped to analyze the problems of the world and the nation and set out on a plan to remedy them. Besides these plans for the future, however, this grad- uating class also looked into the past. They remembered the outstanding events of their four year stay here at Kent. They didn ' t want to leave, but they had a job to do, so they left. 27 A review of the little things that occur Every yearbook is faced with the problem of adequately covering the major events of the year and still having room for the important minor events. This is true, especially, of the forgotten spring quarter. The quarter which year- books, through mechanical limitations, cannot include with the present year. So, the Burr of 1952, by including these pages of review, hopes to show how important the little things really are. As you glance over these pages, think of the many events which were con- ducted in conjunction with the Arts Festival. Think of the concerts that were given, the hours spent sitting in the Hub, the time spent in cramming for an exam and the first dive of the season into the swimming pool. These things are as much a part of college life as the big days. They are a part, which when placed together with many other parts, make up the whole. Dick Hampf. seated in the rear of the canoe and wearing an Indian headdress, looks over his contingent of squaws as he paddles along. The rippling water is in the swimming pool of the men ' s health and physical education building. The occasion for this boat load of girls is a water show held in conjunction with the Arts Festival last spring. The girls, from left to right are: Lorie Postlethwaite, Pat Maglione. Jane Miller and Sue Tarbert. Miss Postlethwaite and Miss Maglione are student directors of the show, while the faculty advisor is Miss Beverly Seidel. 28 On May II, 195 I at the Mayflower hotel in Akron, the journalists of the University had their Publications banquet. Special service awards were given to the four persons pictured above. From left to right, they are George Way, John Koshar, Phyllis Slack and Edward CUney. Way. spring quarter Stater editor, won the Matt Fenn trophy for the student who achieved the most out- standing effort in the best interest of the Stater. Koshar, editor of the Stater during the fall quarter of 1950, received the Paul Ryan Achievement cup awarded annually to the member of the Stater staff who has shown the greatest promise as a professional newspaperman. Koshar also took the Chi Pi cup for outstanding work on publications and he also received an award for a Stater campaign for campus betterment during his term as editor. Phyllis Slack was given the Lambda Phi cup as the outstanding senior woman journalist. The Kappa Alpha Mu trophy for out- standing work in campus photography went to E.d Cliney. Flo McNaughton of Delta Gam- ma sorority and Bob Burdock, representing Phi Beta Phi fra- ternity accept for their respec- tive organizations, trophies for having the highest point average of all Greek competitors. These trophies were awarded at Schol- arship day on May 23, 1951. They are presented to the win- ners in each group every year. An NBC television cameraman lines up a row of would-be Robin Hoods and grinds away on his camera. Assigned to cover the Rowboat Regatta, the cameraman also took many pictures of campus activities. Miss Carol Ann Walgenbach. HPE instructor, is lecturing to this group. 29 In this scene from the University Theater ' s summer production of Born Yesterday, Mrs. Norvall Hedges on the left, played by Juliet Grimsley. wife of a corrupt senator, listens to Billie Dawn. Marcia Hill, tell of Harry Brocks exploits in the junk business. The Broadway stage hit ran here for two nights, July 19-20. Another scene from Born Yesterday shows Harry Brock, on the right, played by Dick Johnson, standing over Senator Norvall Hedges. Charles Potter. The senator is trying to explain to Brock how increased costs have made bribery much more expensive. ELddie Brock. Bill Morris, aids the senator with a drink. On the left is the former Chancellor of Austria, Count von Schuschnigg, looking over a map of Central Europe and pointing out some familiar places to Clayton M. Schindler, director of summer school. Dr. Schuschnigg became Chancellor of Austria after Chancellor Dolfuss was shot by assassins in 1934. Dr. Schuschnigg. who spent much time during the last war in a concentration camp in Dachau. Germany, spoke on August 14, 1951. 30 While others vacationed It was hot . . . the nearby lakes beckoned . . . there was a general tendency for things to slow down . . . but in sum- mer school things just didn ' t slow down. Despite the gen- eral lethargy associated with going to classes, things kept buzzing because most summer school students were at- tempting to speed up their education. With many graduates returning for more education, the rah-rah spirit of the regular college term vanished and was replaced by a serious, conscientious attitude. But despite concentrated subjects and much library work, there was time for social life. Through careful planning many of the social activities were of an educational nature. Speakers of national impor- tance came to the campus and presented their views on national problems . . . world famous groups in the field of entertainment enhanced the cultural aspects of attend- ing summer school . . . and there were many workshops and clinics. It was educational, but it was still hot. iii.« . One of the features of summer school is the many clinics and workshops which are conducted. One of last years clinics was for drum majorettes. From Elyria high school came Kay Walker. left and Col- leen Walters, to learn some of the newest techniques. The O ' s have it in this picture. On July 23 the Young Ireland theater group came into Kent with their scenery and accents and presented three one-act plays. In this picture, from left to right, Maureen Halligan, Nora O ' Mahoney, Grania O ' Shannon and Seamus O ' Gorman. are in a scene from the famous Irish tragedy, Riders to the Sea. The group came to America under the auspices of the International Theater ex- change. The other plays which they presented were The Workhorse Ward, a comedy and Purgatory. a play using only two characters. Fiery Senator Tobey of Kefauver committee fame stomped into Kent on July 2 and presented his ideas on Ethics and Morals in Government to the University. This photo of the New I lampshire Republican shows him looking over some evidence presented during the crime hearings which toured the country. He stated he thought the morality of the country today was breaking down greatly. 31 Pretty, young Jean Ann Macan of Cleveland, complete with newly purchased text books and her dink, smiles nicely for an upperclassman in an attempt to persuade him not to ask her to dink. This scene was repeated many times during the first few weeks of school. However, many frosh were not so successful as Jean in preventing the much feared cry, Dink, Frosh. Photo by Ed Cliney 32 While upperclassmen ' s cries of Hi, did you have a good summer? echoed around them. 1,100 bewild- ered, but willing to learn freshmen arrived on campus late in September. For one day they wandered around bare-headed and happy until the hazing committee brought out the dinks and Frosh week rolled into high gear. For the next five days they merely existed. Campus tours, placement tests, mixers and dances were the order of the week, while frosh became acquainted with their new home. Even with such a schedule, the dinks continued to ride high on proud heads. After a long Friday of registration, the youngsters discovered the advantages of an activity card as they watched the football team beat Mount Union. A sense of belonging began that night as they looked around at the many strange, yet familiar faces, and they found that behind those faces were friends. Many will leave Kent before four years are over; the others will study, worry a little, laugh a lot, but they will always have one thing in common . . . they will remember their dinks and hazing forever. The chore of the year which is repeated every Freshman week is the scrubbing of the seal with toothbrushes at Prentice gate. The coeds who won this task are, from left to right. Mary Juliene Ucello. Dorothy Sue Yallech and Sheila Sampsell. Freshmen coeds bring on upper-class smiles To dink or not to dink, that is the question ... in the minds of all freshmen as they watch the progress of the Frosh-Soph pushball contest. The outcome of this game determined whether the freshmen woul d throw away their dinks then, or keep them on for another three weeks. While the frosh females sat on the hillside and cheered their male companions on. it was to no avail. The sophomores staged a spirited upset and won the brawl on a goal by Bill Chill. Despite the ferocity of the play, the boys managed to freshen up a bit later and went to the square dance that night. It was all in fun. but the dinks stayed on. Homecoming-, the day when old friends get together, ended in the field house with an all-University dance. Supplying the music was Frankie Masters. When folks weren ' t danc- ing, they were greeting old grads and comparing notes on p ost-colIege life as compared with their college days. And the alums came back home The queen of the 1951 Homecoming was Miss Johann Selais from Maple Heights. She is a junior majoring in education. Winners of the independent house decora- tions trophy was the American Commons club with an Akron U. gridiron sacrifice.

Homecom- ing is not complete without a football victory. Here Coach Trevor Rees pleads with the team before the game. It worked: Kent won 48-7. A loyal Kent rooter of the Class of ' 69 looks down at the players on the field and prepares to let out a cheer for the Flashes. He is even complete with raccoon coat and f ennant. Spinnmg a Web of Victory is the Delta Zeta sorority house decoration which won first prize for the women. The spider caught Akron too. Likewise, the giant Golden Flash in the front yard of the Delta Tau Delta frater- nity house won the trophy and also won the ball game. 35 ' fl. t « While solitary feminine forms pranced around on the walls of Meyer ' s lake ballroom in Canton, numerous Greek couples pranced around the dance floor before Christmas at the All-Greek formal sponsored by Alpha Phi sorority. But while some couples danced, others sat at their lamp- lighted tables and reviewed the events of the fall quarter. They thought of the times thsy had looked forward to this dance. The Alpha Phi ' s thought of the work they had spent on the dance. And now it was here and the Greeks enjoyed it for a few hours and then it was over. The regular procedure for all big dances of signing the dance list is followed here by Edna Casey. While folks mill around meeting each other and seeing who is and who is not at the dance, the girls make sure that their names are on the list to in- sure that precious late permission. The dance reached its peak with the presentation of the ' 51 fall quarter pledge class. With the active chapter lined up. the pledges were intro- duced individually. Here, Judy Wilson is called forward before the actives and band. Crushed corsages and sore feet ♦ ♦ ♦ All -Greek Everybody was dressed up. The boys had on their new or newly rented tuxes. Their bow ties, black shoes and boutonnieres gave them a distinguished look. The girls pulled their seldom worn formals out of the closet and squeezed into them. W ith bare shoulders, stockings and high heels, they waited for the arrival of the corsage. It came, was taken out of the box, admired and put back into the box. Then off to the dance went the happy couples. When the dance was reached, out came the corsages again and they were delicately placed on the female form. Everybody made sure they looked their best and the dance started. Early, the dance took on the atmosphere of a sedate Viennese ball. However, as the evening wore on, couples became more familiar, dancers danced closer together and corsages were crushed. On the crowded floor, shoes were scuffed, hips were bumped and feet got sore, but it was such a wonderful dance. Such are the woes of a big formal dance in high heels and full dress. Not used to such festive gatherings. Donna Gray and Jean Wetzel both give their feet a much needed massage while their dates console each other with shrugs of their shoulders. On the left is Walt Gurskey and Lowell Ripley is on the right. The boys finally won out for the girls started dancing again. 37 The annua! presentation of the Messiah occurred on December 14 and 16 in the University auditorium. Director of both the or- chestra and the chorus was Robert Foulkes, instructor of music. Soloists for the production were Evelyn Kolesar and Lorna Adams, sopranos; Claire Dyer and Emmalee Knippenberg. altos; Parke Cooley and Jack Rayle, tenors; John Hoffman, Addison Reed, bass. Handel ' s Messiah — Glory to God on high It was Christmas time. The spirit of Christmas swept throughout the entire campus. Joyous greetings were shouted through the buildings and Kent students looked forward to the coming vacation. But like the serious people they are, they also had their serious moments. One of these serious moments, but also a happy one, was the presentation of Handel ' s Messiah, the Christmas oratorio. The two and one-half hour long performance, complete with orchestra and chorus, developed slowly with the story of the life of Christ. It reached its sub- lime peak with the famous Hallelujah chorus, then receded to a peaceful close. 38 It was 10 minutes until 1 I on Monday morning, January 14. 1952. Ten o ' clock classes were being dismissed and a joyous attitude swept through the student body. Many students thought they would amble over to the Hub or down to the Brady since all 1 I o clock classes had been dismissed for the and peace on earth, good will towards men ' ' Typical examples of the general interest stirred up by Christian Living Empha- sis week were the many displays set up by various committees of the weeks ' activities. Here a Kent student stops and glances through a book display. Many of the books on sale were writ- ten by persons who spoke that week. opening program of CLEW week. Some students did, or started to, but many did not. Those who did not numbered 3,000. These 3,000 students swamped the auditorium and spread over the field house for the opening ceremonies of Christian Living Emphasis week. Thus. CLEW opened, with Kent one of the few schools in the nation participating in this attempt to bring religion a little closer to University students. Nationally known figures m the religious fields were brought to the campus as speakers for the various conclaves which took place during the week. In the entertainment field, Dorothy Maynor. noted operatic soprano, presented a con- cert and also spoke in assembly. The week was the culmination of the efforts of over 200 students on campus who had worked for one entire quarter on arrangements for this week. Their publicity covered the campus and their work showed results as the entire student body was CLEWed to the fact that men do have good will to men. Dorothy Maynor, on the right, noted operatic star, has tea following her concert given in conjunction with CLEW week. With her are Father Simpson of St. Patrick ' s Catholic church in Kent and Mrs. Oscar W. Ritchie, wife of the professor of sociology. Miss Maynor. who has sung in all parts of the world, was given her start by Serge Koussevitsky in 1938. The Greek columns stood majestically on each side of the massive wooden doors. From behind these doors came the wailings of a woman torn between two desires: the desire of love for her children and the desire to hurt mortally her unfaithful husband. Schemes surged violently through her cluttered mind. After many hours of anguish, she made her decision. Calling her children, she watched them toddle up the stone steps, she embraced and kissed them, then Pleading ith Creon, Dale Brechbuhler, to be allowed to stay in Corinth is Medea, Jackie Gelbman. Medea hoped she would not be banished so that she could carry out her vengeance. The nurse is Joan Leguillon. With her own hands, Medea killed her sons 40 Just before this vengeful act, Medea had also killed her husband ' s new bride. Obsessed with the desire to hurt him, she sent a magic cloak to his bride, supposedly as a gift. But when she put on the cloak, she became a human torch and burned to death. These two killings were the highlights of the University Theater ' s production of the Greek tragedy Medea by Euripides. This play, one of the greatest of all Greek tragedies, was pro- duced here on January 23-26, 1952. It is the story of a betrayed wife who murders her faithless husband ' s new bride and then completes her vengeance by hacking to death his children. Playing the title role in the production was Jackie Gelbman. In the full page photo she is shown plotting the death of her husband ' s bride.

They were recalling the happiness which they once had before Jason left Medea and married another woman. f •Uil NTFC-Who Cares? On the shadowed stage, a weary, footsore individual appeared. He wore his dry-matted, mildewed tropical bush garb with a jauntiness that came only with long experience in the inhuman jungles of Tanganyika. It was the intrepid Boydenbender. Behind him came Lord Cyril Fink-Hender- son. In the half-dark of the African night, bronzed savages followed the pair, carrying with them the honorable Lady Millicent Jane Fink-Henderson. All was silence save the mournful native chant: Itchi ban chow- chow. This was the top scene of the rousing comedy, Who Cares? produced for No Time For Classes by Ray Metzinger and Alex Fraser with music by Jack L. Swan. After a lapse of one year, this year ' s production was outstanding. Courageous to the last. Lady Millicent Jane Fink-Hen- derson, Bonnie Schwartz, speaks with Lord Cyril Fink- Henderson.

The scene of busy days, it dies at night. The living guardian of the campus after dark is the campus cop, as he is called by students. He is a lonesome figure as he trudges on his nightly beat. When the sun settles down behind McGilvrey hall and the lights begin to flicker on at night, the campus takes on a new and strange personality. It loses its bustle of daytime activity. No longer do crowds surge down the steps in front of the atrium headed for the Brady. No longer do doors keep constantly opening and closing as floods of students pour in and out of various campus buildings. At night, the campus settles back to rest a little bit. Action is limited to small groups. In the early evening solitary figures may be seen stalking to the library or couples may be seen heading downtown for a little relaxation. But as the night wears on and heads for morning, even these actions cease. After 10:30, when the girls have to be in, the campus almost dies in its outward appearance. Yet, there are some things which do happen. The cleaning crews swarm through the Union and the campus police walk their beats. The Stater staff, after lock- ing up the forms for the next edition, talk over editorial policy, while the dorms harbor many political discussions. But it is still a dark and lonesome campus when the sun goes down. Solitude reigns after dark 46 While wintry winds drifted snow across the campus and open dormitory windows allowed the cold air to swesp in upon sleeping students, the heating plant was a busy place . . . not busy in a crowded sense, but busy in an important sense. Solitary figures moved around the boilers at regular intervals, opened them and stood before the glowing red coals deciding if they were in proper shape. If they were, the door clanged shut. But if they needed attention, big shovels heaved loads of coal upon the fire . . . and the campus stayed warm. ♦ ♦ ♦ a lonesome campus when the sun goes down They had ink on their hands and part of the head for tomorrow ' s Stater was printed across their forearms, but the Stater staff members did not mind this nightly ritual of getting messed up at the print shop for they saw their own words in print and they were proud. Here, back in the office, managing editor Ernie Mazza looks over the next edition of the campus daily. 47 The presentation of the queen . . . Jerry McFadden, chairman of the dance and senior student in ROTC, presents a big bouquet of roses to the Honorary Cadet Colonel, Miss Meredyth Sweda. Standing by watching the affair are Albert Hales on the left and John Garrigan. iVIiss Sweda is a freshman enrolled in the college of liberal arts from Bedford, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland. Military ball a deserted campus, but fun The streets were solid ice underneath a powdery covering of loose snow. The campus was deserted. The Hub had closed and a grand total of nothing was going on. The date was February 21, 1952. Tomorrow was Washington ' s birth- day. There was no school tomorrow and a quick thought should have indicated there would be wild celebrations going on. But the campus was still deserted. A few people straggled around. Most of the males of this group looked dejected. They probably were for this was the night of the Military ball. This was the formalest of nights on campus. But the activities were not on campus. That was the reason for its desertion. The dance was being held at Meyer ' s lake in Canton and KSU had migrated to the home of their former extension school. The males walking around were dejected for one of two reasons ... or possibly both. Either they didn ' t have a tux or they were broke. Both of these seem to be common occurrences on the Kent campus. But the males who did happen to scrape up a tux and a girl and some money and a car were having a great time. The dance was the epitome of sophistication. Completely formal, the sparkling braid of the military men and the formal attire of the civilians ' provided a beautiful backdrop for the women of the University who were decked out in the sheerest of evening gowns. As always, the crowning point of the whole dance occurred logically with the crowning of the Honorary Colonel. As she marched under the arched sabers of the cadets, a sense of completeness overcame everyone; the dance was now a success. 48 Even the hat check man went military at the ROTC ' s annual dance. Richard Fawcett checks his apparel and his girl ' s coat with the capped man behind the counter. It was early in the evening and the racks were still empty, but before the night was over, they were packed. The fountain at the end of the dance floor at Meyer ' s lake ballroom seemed to attract tired couples near the end of the evening. Here, Leroy Erickson, senior ROTC student, pauses for a while with his girl friend. Ann Lee, at the Military ball. Frank Tisler, on the right in the ROTC uniform, helps his date into the car, while Fred Custer holds the door for him. As Blue Barron ' s orchestra played inside, the canopy kept the arriving couples out of the snow which hampered driving to the dance. Flanked by the library of Dr. Arthur E. DuBois in his home, the Writer ' s club holds one of its informal meetings. Dr. DuBois is sitting in the middle.

They featured bugs, all kinds of bugs in their little skit. Everything from glow worms to fairy nymphs danced over the stage, but the DCs could do no better than fourth place in the sorority division. Alpha Phi won this divi- sion with a patriotic skit, while Moulton hall won for the second year in succession in the independent women ' s division. Many little activities make up one college year While hundreds of freshmen were overwhelmed with the number of people running around the campus in the beginning of the fall quarter, upperclassmen noticed the big drop in enroll- ment. This was one of the big stories of the year. The resultant cut in allocations closely followed it in importance, while football occupied the sports spotlight for the fall. On the dramatic front, UT presented Born Yesterday as its homecoming production, re- peating it from the summer. Then the winter quarter saw the Greek masterpiece, Medea, on the boards. After Christmas, basketball took over the top on the sports card and Joe Begala and his wrestling kept on winning as usual. The Stater- student council controversy had high interest in the winter as did the student produced NTFC. All these little things went together to make up one year and in such a short time, it is gone. Miss Pat Long, Stater editor in the winter quarter, peers from be- hind her organdy-curtained office window.

The activ- ity on the campus was at an absolute minimum. The library was nearly empty. The walks were devoid of students. Lights were out in all campus buildings. A few dormitory rooms were lighted, but the classroom buildings were black. No cars were parked in front of the Atrium. Only a smattering of students were in the Hub. The suitcase students had not arrived back as yet, and the campus in general seemed to be taking a rest. Rigor mortis appeared to have the University in its grips. Activity ceased. Only when this contrast is offered, is it realized what a bustling hive of activ- ity the University is during a regular day. The campus houses a big business. That ' s how it was 60 Photo by Ron Moscati seniors, deans and campus make up Kent State Ume uf 61 Individual colleges of any University need deans to direct them. Kent is no different, so with three colleges. K.ent has three deans. On the left is Robert 1. White, dean of the college of education. Dean White came to Kent in 1946. In the center is Chester E. Sat- terfield. acting dean of the college of liberal arts. He has held this post since John Reed Spicer left in June of 1951. The newly ap- pointed dean is Eric Rackham of the University of Colorado. Hand- ling the future business men of the country is Arden L. Allyn, dean of the college of business administration. Dean Allyn arrived at Kent in the year 1934 and has remained in this position since. These deans have built Kent, directed by Besides curriculum problems, students are always bound to have personal problems as they pass through their college years. It is the Dean of Men and the Dean of Women who handle these kind. On the left is Raymond E. Manchester, dean of men. Dean MgLnchester has become a legend around here. His Saturday Letters and birthday greetings to students have endeared him to the hearts of past and present Kentites. In the middle is Ada V. Hyatt, dean of women, who controls the social life of the cam- pus. On the right is Dean Raymond M. Clark, dean of the grad- uate school. He takes care of those studying for other degrees. 62 the president, Dr Bowman We and are two very small words in our daily vocabulary, yet they can be completely distinct and significant. They are words which can build or destroy. Dr. George A. Bowman, president of the University, has done and is still doing his building of the University in terms of we. It is this one big family attitude which has made the president and the University rise to its present status. Kent has boomed since Dr. Bowman took over as president. Now the growth has settled back to a smooth advance which should continue for years to come. In this growth President Bowman has proved that he is truly a student of human nature and in the many and varied problems of education, he himself is a living symbol of sincere effort for Kent. 63 Photo by EA Cliney : 4 First, a broad background — then success Edward Adams Akron Lorna Hartline Adams Akron Caroline Arnold Kent Dorothy Atwood Kent John Beaber Dover Daniel E.

Others come to college, go to class, but they get a little more education. This latter group participates in extra-curricular activities. They are the people who run the campus and when they finish running the campus, they are more able to cope with the problems of life. The experience gained in campus activities is more than could ever be taught m some classes. For this reason, the Chestnut Burr likes to honor the seniors who have distinguished themselves in activities and service to the school, so we salute you. Leroy Erickson Jeunes Thomas 72 Patricia Long Skirts and vigorous campaigns came back into the Stater office in the winter quarter of 1952 when Patricia Long, journalism major from Akron, was appointed editor. After working on the staff for four years, Pat became the first woman editor in two years. Other offices Pat has held include vice-president of Theta Sigma Phi, president of Woman ' s League and membership in Cardinal Key and Who ' s Who in Universities. Not content with specializing, Leroy Erickson, advertising major from Erie, Pennsylvania, has spread his efforts around the campus. Blue Key and Scabbard and Blade, both national honor- aries, claimed him as a member. Leroy was most often seen as head cheerleader, but he was also a member of the gymnastic team and was president of the Booster club in 1 950. Listed in Who ' s Who, his last responsibility was co-chairman of CLEW. Although he majored in Foreign Commerce and Diplomacy, campus activities were not foreign to James Thomas. From Sandusky, Jim was presi- dent of Delta Upsilon and secretary of Inter- fraternity council.

Seniors look toward the future ♦ ♦ ♦ 74 It seems every year graduating classes have been told that they are about to enter into a world full of chaos and many crises. When you look back over the past years, you can easily see what is meant. Many things have happened since this years graduating class entered school as freshmen in the fall of 1 948. These are the things which will live on in the memory of the graduates. Some of these things were good, others were bad. But, they all affected the class, maybe not directly, but indirectly. We feel they should be remembered. The span of the seniors — In 1948, Babe Ruth died; 1949, the Noronic disaster; 1950-51 saw the Korean war; ' 52 was the question. 1 riita B Underclassmen live for the present And the present provided inspiration for many official get-to-gethers.

Munzenmayer Charles E. Atkinson 88 Richard G. Rotzel It is freshman week. The usually busy Atrium is really a scene of chaos now. A poor, bewildered freshman drags himself into an office and a few minutes later comes out looking very composed. Other frosh follow this same process. What magic is in this office? It ' s not magic, but rather. Dr. Loren S. Hadley, director of student advising. In addition to executing the entire freshman week program of activities. Dr. Hadley controls the student advising system and does much personal counseling himself. However, before Dr. Hadley can straighten students out, they have to be admitted to the University. That is the job of Mr. Richard G. Rotzel, director of admissions. Of the thousands of applications for admission to the University which pour into his office each year, Mr. Rotzel has to weed them out, refer them to proper spe- cialized sources and check them thoroughly. But beyond this, Mr. Rotzel always takes a personal interest in the students he admits and keeps in contact with them throughout college. Once the students are enrolled properly, then the burden of work swings over into the registrar ' s office headed by Charles E. Atkinson. If students think they have problems making out their indi- vidual schedules, they should become acquainted with the difficulties of Dr. Atkinson and his crew. Besides handling admissions to all classes for all students, the office records grades of Kent ' s 5,000 students and takes care of transfers. Emil Berg Paul E. Beck These men conduct the University business Dear in the hearts of all student employees of the University is Paul E. Beck, comptroller. He is the chief financial officer on campus and whenever anyone wants money, they must go to Mr. Beck and present their case. Mr. Beck has control of the allocation of funds to the various departments of the University. Of course, he handles all the payrolls, too. Another of his big problems is getting finances from the state. He must prepare a budget for submission to the state legislature. He hits hard at KSU student pocketbooks 12 times during a school career, too. Payment of fees each quarter is handled by Mr. Beck. Now that Mr. Beck has gotten all this money for the Uni- versity, it is up to the business manager, Emil Berg, to spend it. Mr. Berg, unlike many shoppers, does not rely on his memory in order to make up his shopping list. He buys everything from delicate balances for the chemistry department to a box of typing erasers for the secretarial science classes. Mr, Berg has the job of buying everything that is needed for the University with the funds he has. Then he tries to buy as much of what is wanted as he can. Even at the time of graduation, students find University services which aid him. One of the main reasons for coming to college is to get an education. But then a job must be found. If students haven ' t received offers to become executives just yet, then invariably they trot into the appointments office where they register with Dr. Lester H. Munzenmayer. director of the bureau of appointments. The office then places the students, according to their training, in positions which suit them. Most of the appointments are in this northeastern Ohio area, but many are nation wide. So, in four years of milling around the University, most students came in contact with all the administrative offices. Loren S.

There was a dismal mist floating down on the front campus. The group signs, which the freshman pro- gram said would be up, were not. Scores of people milled around the front campus getting wet, dis- gusted and homesick already. A few student leaders attempted to send the frosh to the classrooms as- signed for their orientation. Eventually, most fresh- men caught on to the idea and began scattering to various campus buildings. Trudging up one of the campus walks was a pretty girl, alone. Behind her swung an 18-year-old of the opposite sex. Soon, even bashful as they were, they discovered they were heading for the same group. Immediately a friendship began. After the opening formalities, the question arose: What is your opin- ion of Kent? What do you expect college life to be Hke? The answer to this question was typical of all freshmen. They decided that they would get up in the morning, go to class, go home, study and go to bed . . . with the process to be repeated every day. With the warm spring sun providing a Robin Hood at- mosphere. Miss Carol Ann Walgenbach instructs her HPE archery class in the proper methods of shooting. The art gallery, featuring an exhibit of work done by Kent ' s own students, attracts three University coeds. They decided that there is talent at Kent. ♦ ♦ ♦ freshmen learned During their first eventful year at Kent they learned there was more to college than just classes. They learned that occasionally they slept through classes in the morning. They learned that many times they sat in the Hub and drank coffee rather than going to their room and studying. Yes, college life in actuality was far different from first impressions. But there were other things which comprised col- lege life, too. They learned about these things during their freshman year and now as sopho- mores, the couple set about to look into the other things which seemed so important to many people. The male part of our mythical couple was out for football and his female companion came along one day to watch. What she saw was some- thing new to her. She thought the football team played football on Saturday and that was all. She didn ' t realize the many hours of practice that are spent. Of course, there was much that our football player did not know about either. One of these was archery. Thinking that it was meant for Robin Hood and William Tell only, he did not realize the tremendous skill involved in shoot- ing with the bow and arrow. Once he found out, he took the archery course during his junior year. Si ' tij iii. ' Ji It doesn ' t take long for freshmen to be- come acquainted. Some of these early friendships continue on through life. Most continue, at least, through college. Through these friendships, the couples take part in many University activities. They go to plays and concerts together and. in effect, educate each other. There is something intangible about these rela- tionships which make them outstanding. Besides the cheering crowds on Saturday afternoons, the long road trips and good meals, the football team does a lot of hard, monotonous work. Every afternoon the prac- tice field crackles with the sound of linemen charging into the blocking dummy and backs practicing precision plays. 101 sophomores and juniors helped themselves In their junior year our couple really blossomed forth into leaders in campus activities. They were now becoming, not only familiar with what goes on around campus, but they were beginning to take part in running these activities. And these activities helped our couple. The female was an artist, not just with paints and brushes, but in a broader sense of the word. She was cultural. She took part in the choir activities. She sang in their concerts, went on their tours and reaped the benefits of the organization. But the football player was not doing badly either. He was still playing football, but was branching out into other activities, too. He and the ROTC did many things together. The best of all as far as actual train- ing was concerned was the mock war staged by the military units. The weather was terrible, everybody suffered, but it made many people stop and think a little and recall the events happening throughout the world which were so similar, but on a much more devastating scale. Now, as our friends were finishing their junior year and approaching their big year, they began to look for things to do which would help other people. It didn ' t take our couple long to find these things. 102 Occupying the attention of two art majors is a model pos- ing in a figure sketch class. Using dramatic lighting the students are attempting to create an unusual effect. This is another phase of the practical type of education given here. The horrors of a winter war were brought home to Kent ROTC students last winter during maneuvers with neighboring Akron university. The battle was real in all respects; freezing weather, full equipment and front line correspondents. The paraphernalia of modern aerial warfare and other instruments of aerodynamics are exhibited by the Air Force ROTC. Numerous shows of this type were put on during the year by various organizations for students. I y| |-— The choir, which has traveled thousands of miles giving concerts throughout the east, is shown here in one of their many local performances. ♦ ♦ ♦ while seniors began to help others One of the policies of the University Is to provide as much service as pos- sible through students. The speech and hearing clinic is one of these services. Staffed by students, this chnic helps children in need of service. As seniors, our couple found things to do to help other people. They took part in the clinics. They worked on student publications, serving the student body. They helped run some of the high school short courses. It had been an evolutionary process, taking four years, but now our mythical couple knew what college life meant. They knew it meant a lot of education in class, but they also knew it meant a great deal of education out of class. It is this out of class education which various campus activities provide. These are the activities, without which no college education can be complete. 103 The fire in the brick fireplace first blazed brightly and then flickered weakly. And the couples seated before it were as in- consistent as the fire. They were happy for a while, but then suddenly, they turned sad. The reason for this was grad- uation. This was their last Greek party. They were thinking of the many hours spent down at the house. They were thinking of the horrible, yet memorable, days as a pledge. And they recalled the splendor of the All-Greek. But above all, they remembered their friends, their brothers and sisters for four years. Sadness was in their hearts now how- ever, because of the thought of leaving. They were afraid that, as the fire, their friendships would die, but they hoped.

What happened? It ' s the absolute silence period and a rushee almost made the mistake of speaking to a sorority member. Rules, rules and more rules! Where do they all come from and why? National Pan-Hellenic council is at the head of this. During rush periods, Pan-Hellenic acts as a go-between among sororities and rushees. The council in- forms both of the preliminaries and rules of rushing and judges any infraction of the rules. Kent ' s group consists of three delegates from each soror- ity. With Dean Margaret Swanson as advisor, they act as a forum for questions relating to the college and sorority world. National Pan-Hellenic ' s creed is not to make sorority life the enjoyment of special privileges, but an oppor- tunity to prepare for a wide and wise human service. President Jo Harper, standing on right, calls for a vote of Pan-Hellenic. The members are: row one. left to right. Mary Ann Messer. Rosemary Poor.

The motion, which had been debated through several meetmgs, was finally defeated by a very close vote. gods and goddesses of the greeks Secretary Jim Thomas looks over an IFC committee report as President Chuck Kelly sits next to him and looks on. Watching from behind are Paul Santee, vice president, on the left, and Al Korman, treasurer What Congress is to the United States, Inter- fraternity council IS to the male Greek organ- izations on campus. Composed of members of each fraternity, these persons, representing divergent groups, meet often to solve their common problems. The council ' s official purpose is to better the relations between fraternities and the University. But many other problems are also discussed. Rushing of new pledges occu- pies much of the time of the group. Rules must be set up and enforced. The council functions at its best when the fraternities on campus desire to take part in something as a whole. It is the actions of the council which makes the groups work together. Another event which IFC handles is the awarding of a trophy to the fraternity which has the highest cumulative point average for the year. This award from council is one of the most sought after trophies. 131 Left to right. Row I. Joanne Sager, Nancy Slater. Jacqueline Scranton. Pat Rausch. Margaret MacMillin. Shirley Moore.

It occupies a place in their minds as home ... a home for some of the greatest years of their lives. And as they leave this campus for the last time, they know that they are not really leaving. They know that they will return some day, in some form. If not in actual physical appearance, they know that they will return through the medium of memory. They know that they will always recall the long walks holding hands, the bud- ding spring trees and the snow-laden evergreens. This is our campus . . . home. That s how it was 148 Photo by Ron Moscati at our home away from home . ♦ . the Kent 149 A building that Kent State University students always look up to is the Administration building . better known as the Atrium. We look up to it, first, because it is on top of a hill and looks down across the campus and, second, because it is the center of University administrative activity. Photo by Eld Cliney 150 The first home away from home for many freshman women is Moulton hall. When the 10:30 curfew rolls around, there are many last minute kisses on the outside, while congenial gab sessions are being started on the inside. Look around Stopher hall, men ' s dormitory, and see the science majors, the speech students, accountants and writers. There is a great variety. Some day these Stopher residents will be leading their respective communities. 151 Upperclassmen. a sundeck and a tunnel distin- guish Engleman hall from the rest of the women ' s dormitories. Comprised only of advanced stand- ing girls, they find the sundeck very enjoyable in the summer and the tunnel to their cafeteria in the Union very practical in the winter time. From Chaucer, for which it is not so popular, to an excuse for meeting your date, for which it is very popular, the Library occupies a part of every student ' s life. One of the few buildings which is built on a flat piece of ground, the library is the show place of the f -ont campus. 152 Photo by Ed Cliney While the keys of the Associated Press teletype machine pound out the days events in the journaHsm rooms on the ground floor of Merrill hall, the pianos tinkle on the third floor in the music department. These are just two facets of the liberal education offered in this building. 153 There is just reason why McGilvery hall should house the science de- partment of Kent. As a tribute to the scientific genius of the modern age. this hall was built on the side of a hill, engineered so that three floors are ground floors. Visited by all freshmen during their first week of school and then many times forgotten as a cam- pus building is the President ' s home. When Dr. George A. Bowman is not working in his office in the Administration building, he may be found sf ending his leisure hours with his wife. 154 Just a hop. skip and a jump from classes are the girls who hve in Lowry hall, women ' s dormitory. Only a few steps from Merrill hall, Lowry is the only dorm on campus which operates two cafeterias. The bowling alleys and the ball room of the Student union play a part in many student activities; but the hub , with its dirty ash trays and hot coffee, will live long as the top spot of Kent life. 155 Photo by Joe Klosterman 156 The results of expeinsion of Kent State University are easily seen in this view of the campus. From the original wheel shaped semi-circle of buildings, the campus is expanding to the rolling hills behind, with many new buildings to provide for the education of America ' s youth. 157 For all intents and purposes, the learn- ing part of college life ends when the last 4 o ' clock is finished each day. Theo- retically, class room buildings should close their doors then until the next morning. But college students are an odd lot. After working all day together, they still seem to want to spend the even- ing having fun together. For this reason campus buildings, instea d of dying after dark, come alive. While the night clean- ing crews are working their way through the buildings, policies and schemes are being worked out in meetings of campus organizations. These numerous meetings remove the student from his studies for a while, allowing him to relax and have fun, which is a definite part of collegiate living. That ' s how it was . . .

Cold hands and sore feet . . . but the Twin Bands marched An Akron university Zippette stands under the goal p ost during the Homecoming football game. Kent won the game and also the traditional wagon wheel. 160 It was a beautiful fall day . . . the spectators at Memorial stadium were tense with excitement of the football game. In the distance there was a sound of marching feet and beating drums. There we have it! The Twin Marching bands of Kent came strutting into view. The performance of the bands seemed to short-circuit the electrical atmosphere that had settled over the play- ing field. Making the half-time enjoyable for the spec- tators, the band went through many intricate forma- tions displaying their ability and drilling. As the two parts of the band separated and then maneuvered between each other, gasps of surprise and relief were prevalent throughou t the stadium. Full of spirit, the band was always doing their part of the cheering, too. Not even cold weather and snow stopped them. The notes which poured forth from the horns may have been flat at times due to adverse condi- tions; but, regardless, they always came through. Band plays 10 o ' clock tunes It was 10 o ' clock in the morning. Classes were changing, but there was a different attitude about the whole affair. A stim- ulating atmosphere spread over the area behind Merrill hall. This atmosphere continued in all classes in the back of Merrill for the next hour. What caused this gay and carefree attitude? It was the music from the band room on the third floor of Mer- rill hall which descended upon the back campus. Ten o ' clock is music hour at KSU. Especially is this true in the early fall and in the spring time when windows are open, the air is clear and sound travels far and wide. The concert band is the originator of this music. Composed of members who survived the rugged marching of the football season, the band practices daily in preparation for a concert given each winter. This year ' s concert presented a high class program complete with classical and semi-classical selections. Uniformed director Roy D. Metcalf. professor of music, wields his baton and leads tfie concert band in a sprightly march. This was in rehearsal for the annual winter quarter band concert. After marching across the gridiron turf during the football season, the members of Kent State ' s band switched to indoor music in the winter and spring quarters and for.Tied a concert band. With approximately 70 pieces, the band presented a con- cert during the winter quarter and played many popular class- ical pieces. The band is directed by Professor Roy D. Metcalf. 161 Ever since the fairer sex hiked up their ankle length skirts and put two dainty feet out into the business world, women have been or- ganizing clubs. One specifically designed for business ad- ministration coeds is Phi Gamma Nu, national business honorary sorority. Rho chapter made its debut at KSU in March, 1931. This year the charter members initiated their first pledge class. Scholarship is the basic requirement for membership in this, as in all other honoraries. Prospective members must be B.A. majors and must have at least a 2.7 average. Encouragement of scholarship is the pri- mary aim of the group, but they also acquaint prospective business women with their field. The officers of Phi Gamma Nu get together and discuss one of their yearly projects. From left to right, they are: Phyllis Green, vice-president; Pat McCardel, pledge captain; Rebecca Poston, president; Victoria Lalli, sec- retary; Rita Tucker, treasurer, and Mary Hoyt, who is the club scribe.

Kent has a championship debate team. Bowling over most opposition, Kent tied with Case Tech in the tenth annual Buckeye debate tournament held here. At press time, attendance at the national debate tournament at West Point was pending. Teams were also sent to the Men ' s Ohio conference tourney in an attempt to win the event for the third straight year. Off we go, into the wild blue yonder ... is exactly what the members of the Flying club say to each other during meetings and during flying time. Using the facilities of the University airport on route 3, the club holds all of their flying exhibitions from this field. Many of the members of the club are war veterans with flying experience, but newcomers are welcome, too. In the front row, from left to right, are: President Harold Black- wood, Dean Couts, Carol Snyder, treasurer. Raleigh Drake, secretary. Kenneth Showalter, vice-president, and Mr. Andrew Paton. advisor. In the back row are: Orville Jackson. Bruce Brewer. Jack Lamage. Rhys Hasley and Russell Miday. These are the active members of the Flying club of Kent State university. The lights were dimmed, the audience coughed The lights were lowered and a smattering of applause rippled through the aud- ience as the conductor made his way to the podium. The few coughs in the crowd ceased as he raised his baton and led the orchestra through the overture. This is typical orchestra procedure and could have been the New York Philharmonic, but it happened to be the Kent Civic orchestra instead. Be it Brahms, Beethoven or Tchaikovsky, the University orchestra has it on the agenda. Organized like any professional symphonic group, the orchestra is made up of students and adults from the neighboring towns. Rightly, the or- chestra should be called the Philharmonic, because the people play in it for the enjoyment they derive from participation. Although students may receive one hour credit for their work, that is not their aim. Their goal is to receive professional-like experience and they do. While the second violins play a sustaining secondary melody. Conductor Krch launches the rest of the orchestra into the main theme. Louis P. Krch, temporary instructor in music, directs the orchestra in their concerts and during rehearsals. The orchestra is composed of townspeople as well as students of the university and they give several concerts throughout the school year. 164 Conductor Krch on the podium. The rapt attention given to the job of con- ducting is clearly shown here by Mr. Krch. He also interviews and auditions all prospective musicians for positions in the orchestra. Some students join in their freshman year and partici- pate for their entire collegiate career. -•t rf u The piece being played was a vig- orous overture. The violin section was fiddling furiously. Bows were flying over strings with a controlled rapidity which amazed the non- musician. Fingers punched quickly and the bow slid quietly over the strings and the music poured forth. A soothing, peaceful selection was being directed by the conductor. He pointed toward the flute section and a delicate trill bounced from them. While, the rest of the orches- tra calmly sat by and listened the seldom heard flutes soared into their long-awaited solo passage.

Never walk alone Charred biscuits Delta Psi Kappa ' s do a lot of walking. They walk further to class than any other students. They walk further to their activities than any other people. The reason for this walking is a brand new building. Delta Psi Kap ' s are HPE majors who are in the national honorary fraternity. Since the center point of their cla sses and activities is the MPE building, they have to do a great deal of walking, which does help their conditioning. The DSK ' s plan a program of events each year which allows them to further their HPE interests. This year was no exception and the DSK ' s had fun. The group stood around and looked at the platter in the middle of the table. Then they looked at each other. On the platter were several charred hunks of what formerly was biscuit dough. The actives of Psi Lambda Omicron, home ec honorary, gasped with shock. The pledge who did the terrifying job of cooking looked chagrined. She had flunked her first entrance test to the Psi Lambda ' s. But it didn ' t take long for her active sisters to straighten her out on the correct ways of cooking. Now she ranks with the best.

Hasta Manana Friendly arguments Ever since Don Quixote rode across the countryside of Spain helping the oppressed people of his nation, the Spanish language has become more known among other countries. The study of the Spanish language has become very popular in recent years. More and more high school and college students are choosing Spanish as their major language. Sigma Delta Pi plays a dual role at Kent. Their first duty is to recognize exceptional students in Spanish and, secondly, to further the study of the cultures and problems of Spanish speaking countries. Two people were walking down the corridor in Kent hall arguing quite loudly and quite vigorously. Many heads turned to look at them, but they kept right on discussing a major political issue. Suddenly they both turned into a room. From out of the room came the babblings of many similar arguments. Nobody seemed to mind a bit, however, since these were members of the Forensics club. It seems that being a member of this club gives one a debaters license of being immune to losing friends even if you do talk him into small circles. Standing, speaking to the Foren- sics club, is Garry Banas. From left to right in the first row are: President Tom McManus. John lacobelli, Al Pontius, vice-pres- ident.

While Mr. Carapetyan is on leave of absence, this choir is directed by Mr. Robert H. Foulkes, temporary instructor in music. This is the group which presents the annual Messiah at Christmas time and takes a tour each spring. In past years the choir has traveled to New York and the east to present concerts in that area. This year, however, the tour is to be Southern Ohio. Long hours of practice before concert time Signaling the bass section to tone it down a little is Caro Carapetyan. former director of the choir. Mr. Carapetyan is on leave of absence this year to lead the choir at North Texas State Teacher ' s college. The lights reflected brilHantly off the white stolls the choir wore around their necks. Their black robes blended to- gether with the background. They were motionless, but the sounds coming from the stage of the auditorium were full of vitality and life. In front of the choir was a director leading the group. His slight gestures drew great responses from the assembled group and the songs poured forth into the auditorium. The entire program was a fine success and the partici- pants were happy. It seemed very simple. The production of the concert seemed to require no special skills except a born ability to sing. But stand outside the music rooms in Merrill hall sometime and notice the activity. This activity is an integral part of the choir ' s activities. Besides the collective ability to sing, choir members must have individual voices with which to begin. In the individual practice rooms, students of music may be heard limbering up their vocal cords. This is the part of music which is not exactly pretty to hear. But for every good thing, there has to be hard work and the choir is no exception. A whole is only as good as its parts. 168 From left to right, row 1. Verna Griesheimer. Pege Hise, Helene Ury. Donna Lou Snyder, Ruth Howe and JoAnn Slevin. Row 2, Parke Cooley. Addison Reed.

Madrigals and Women ' s chorus sing for fun It was dark outside and there were lights on in the top floor of Merrill hall. The weather was warm, spring had just arrived, and the windows were open. Upstairs in Merrill, the sounds of singing voices could be heard all over the front campus. These voices were singing together, blending in a melody written years ago. but still having great appeal today. Using their musical education for their own enjoyment were the members of the Madrigal singers and the Women ' s chorus as they combined in a practice ses- sion. Many long hours of practice are necessary to properly prepare for a concert. From left to right, row I. Mary Lou Anglemyer, Barbara Miller, Kathryn Clark and Maryann Pietila. Row 2.

This is just one of the many singing groups in the University. 169 Boy scouts, naughty stories When members of Alpha Phi Omega aren ' t tying granny knots or helping old ladies across streets, they function as a chapter, of Alpha Phi Omega, the national service honorary. Membership requires scouting experience and particularly a talent for communicating naughty stories via semiphore code. The APO ' s also sponsor the ugly man contest, which caused an uproar last year when it was discovered that the winner was not a man at all, but a left-over candidate from an Ohio State Queen contest. Guess the beard must have fooled ' em. Alpha Phi Omega sponsors the annual Barber-Shop Quar- tette contest which provides a tonic for would-be-creme oil- Charlies and their female counterparts. Members of this group keep an eagle-scout eye on the bulle- tin boards and oftimes give it a needed tidying-up.

Thornton, commerce instructor and advisor to the group. They drove up to the place in Akron, piled out and went in to eat. Spreading napkins across their knees, the future businessmen began to cram good food into re- ceptive stomachs. An hour later, a group of well-fed young men slid their stomachs back from the table, loosened their double breasted suits and listened to Helen Waterhouse of the Akron Beacon Journal speak about newspaper management. This scene was repeated once each quarter by the Society for the Advancement of Management. Being a student affiliate of the Cleveland professional chapter, the Kent chapter was able t o draw many professional speakers to address them at their meetings. One of the purposes of SAM is to direct business administration students toward the selection of a suc- cessful career. College of business administration students with a sophomore standing or above and who have a 2.5 cumu- lative average are considered for Society membership. 171 HKrp - S 1 1 1 H H i l H Rqe Eld Cliney is an editor.

H.I- strand, picture editor, out-of-state student and man-about-town with a car. Despite the fact that the staff was full of journalists, he was the only person who could successfully dangle a cigarette from his mouth and still carry on his duties. The atmosphere of the office was never complete without his coat hang- ing on the hook. Others who added atmosphere to the office were: Ex-editor Murray Campbell, Stater spy George Way IV, Editor-elect Ronnie Moscati, Anne Liberati, a girl copy editor, and the inevitable bevy of secretaries. 173 There are two things in a yearbook: copy and pic- tures. Copy is written and pictures are taken. Of course, some copy is taken too. because the writers are too lazy to write. Photographers are not lazy, however. They are creative. They like to shoot creative subjects. But they ask what can be done with a group of 82 people. Copy tells them. They say the least you can do is get idents. The guiding force behind copy and pictures is policy. Policy is that innate something which tells an editor how much coffee to drink to keep him awake all night. He has to stay awake all night because copy and pictures have gone to bed and he has to do the work. A common denominator of all three are deadlines. They are looked forward to by the entire staff . . . because a wild celebration follows them. But dead- lines are always missed, so there is never a celebra- tion. The staff quits because they would rather celebrate and the editors do all of the work. Sitting at the typewriter is Mary Lou Hougland. chief of the typists for the 1952 Burr. Talking with her and showing some of her art work is Jean Ann Macan. Jean Ann drew the sketches of the sorority houses. These girls were two of the outstanding members of the staff.

Psi Chi, national psychology honorary, has nu- merous activities. Besides the social functions of every so- ciety, panel discussions and short talks on phases of psych highlight business meetings. Speakers who are well informed in the field give talks on their particular phase to the members. Human mind, mystery? They can cook, too People are sometimes uneasy about entering into con- versations with psychology majors. They are afraid of being unintentionally psychoanalyzed during its course. Psi Chi, Kent ' s honorary for psych majors, has proven that if such is the case, it will be a very thorough, capable analysis at any rate. For many years, members of the field believed they needed a statement of ethical standards. The organiza- tion has plans to promote higher ethical standards among members of the profession both here and abroad. Psi Chi s primary purpose is to advance the science of psychology and, secondary, to promote scholarship. These members of the Home Ec club have the deal! All they have to do is cook and sew. Just think what fine wives they will make for some lucky guys. Now wait! Don ' t get the wrong impression. There is more to it than that . . . much more. Their main purpose is better living, professionally. During the course of the year noted speakers are brought in to their meetings, and they attend fashion shows and flower displays. This club isn t all work and no play, however. Big events of the year are their Christmas dinner. Senior honor breakfast. Buddy picnic, and Fun Nite. t««sf : ' :-. ' ; ' vy i vv ' ' ' Ja?

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy must be the motto of the Industrial Arts club because it is their purpose to put social life upon the same high pedestal as their professional standards. Accomplishing this, they fill their calendar with an annual semi-formal, a barn dance, Valentine party, and a sprmg banquet honormg the seniors, along with many other activities. Their biggest project along the professional line was their third annual Hobby show held in November when about 40 hobbyists were brought in to demon- strate and display their various hobbies ranging from auto racers to sea shells. Also along this line, men of national prominence are invited in as speakers at meetings during the year. This group sponsors a boy in the soap box derby each year. Their candidate was awarded for having the best constructed racer in this division at last year ' s races.

Phi Sigma Xi is strictly a national honorary to further the interest and professional life of its members who are majoring in biology, chemistry, geology, physics and mathematics. A member must have 25 hours completed within the fields of science and also must have a 3.23 cumu- lative in their major field of concentration. It really isn ' t a group of serious Louis Pasteur ' s. The Phi Sigma Xi ' s have fun, too. They hold an annual banquet during winter quarter and a picnic in spring. Rocks, rocks and more rocks ... all sorts of rocks, big ones, little ones, square ones, round ones, flat, but what do they all mean? What is their significance? That is the purpose of the Geological Society . . . to find out. It is not an honorary, nor is it limited to majors in geology. All you must have to belong to the group is an interest in geology or have taken one course in that field. Last spring, the members held their first inter- collegiate field trip in Northern Ohio. It drew about 80 participants from all over the state and a booklet was put out about it. One field trip is held each quarter and they usually have a social affair. First row, left to right.

The pictures in the mind of the writer were transformed into tangible words on the paper. When the writer was through, he jerked the paper out of the typewriter, hastily scrawled a 30 under the story and handed it to the news editor in the slot of the copy desk. The story was edited, a headline was written and the page was taken to the print shop. There, the linotype operator pecked away at the keyboard, setting the story in type. When he was finished, the story was proofed and checked for mistakes. Then it was matched with the proper headline and placed into the page form. This was done with all the stories, the form was locked up and the Daily Kent Stater was ready to roll. 180 Behind the intricate, complex workings of the press, three Stater staff members watch as the first editions of the paper roll off the press. From left to right are; feature editor John Falso. news editor Eld Gabrosek and editor Patricia Long.

With deadlines to meet, constant check must be kept on all phases of production. After the copy is set in type at this machine it is proofed and then read to check for mistakes. Then it is made up in pages. 181 Newmanites ' banner year This year, the Newman club, achieved a banner year in provid- ing Catholic students on campus with plenty of intellectual as well as social activity. The usual entertaining social or business meetings held each Sunday after Benediction at the church featured such men as John Popa of the KSU history department and Louis Guarnieri, noted lawyer. The series of Question Box panels were inaugurated with Father George P. Mulroy, club advisor, acting as moderator. The Question Box was a panel conducted for and by Catholic students who asked and answered questions pertaining to ethics, apologetics and philosophy of religion. Among the Newman clubs biggest undertakings were the Pilgrim ' s Prom, a semi-formal held in the Union ballroom in November; the second annual retreat in the winter quarter; the colorful, masquerade ball and the Mardi Gras. In commemoration of the 20 years that Father Mulroy has been a priest, Newmanites issued a special four-page color issue of their paper in dedication to him. The club was represented at the national convention held this year at Purdue university during the fall quarter and at the officers convention held at Michigan State college. Punching the juke box. in the front from left to right are: Amy Sica. Rita Tucker and Father Mul- roy. In the back are: John Spivak. Bob Amstadt, Joe Kazimer, Jean Loria and George Altmann. The shrimp boats didn ' t come, but the spaghetti cooks did. And it is a good thing they did too, because a crowd of hungry Newmanites descended upon the basement of St. Patrick ' s school and proceeded to devour mercilessly the entire contents of the spaghetti bowls which these cooks prepared so meticulously. The folks of the Newman club agreed the cooks did a good job. 182 I r f« I • J Under the leadership of Joe Kazimer. this year ' s president of the Newman club, the organization really functioned in a pro- fessional manner. Many activities were added to the list of doings of the club. Among these were many more dances. Prac- tically all of the business meetings ended with informal dances, many of which had live orchestras to provide the dance music. It was just before Lent. The Mardi Gras spirit was sweeping New Orleans, so the Newman club of KSU decided they would do something to bring a little of the spirit up here. In the past years, the club had held the dance, but this year it reached new heights of success. Costumes were wild, performances were wilder and the New manites were satisfied with their Mardi Gras. 183 ■ 4 ■ Educational fellowship With the need for capable teachers as desperate as ever, at least one KSU organization is doing more than its share of furthering an interest in the field. Kappa Delta Pi, an honorary society in edu- cation, encourages high professional, intellectual and personal standards. They also make it a goal to recognize outstanding contributions to educa- tion. It endeavors to maintain a high degree of professional fellowship among its members by honoring achievement in extra educational work. Row I. left to right. Gene Mickle. J. Carlin, Tom McManus.

They formed a club to help solve difficulties in the teaching profession. At the same time the organization established a closer relation- ship between students and faculty. During the last eleven years, the club has succeeded in its purpose and now boasts a membership of 40 with a promise of more affiliates next year. In order to bring their problems out in the open, stu- dents arranged panel discussions with their teachers. Experts in the field of education were also invited to give lectures. They send a CARE package to children in Europe every year. t Elementary Ed club Childhood educators Top picture, row 1. left to right. Patricia Blythe, Jo Parker. Joyce Engler.

Everyone is welcome ♦♦ When frosh first come to college, they are bewildered by the tests, new rules, dorm life and new faces that con- front them. They have been going to school for 12 years with an entirely different group of students and have gone to church all their lives. Now they face the difficult problem of adjusting them- selves to a different kind of life. To guide these students is a religious organization called the United Christian Fellowship. UCF draws no lines of race or creed . . . everyone is welcome. Under the leadership of the Rev. A. Laten Carter, they plan such programs as retreats, discussions, dances and conferences. They get into many discussions about current world and religious problems which help them form their own opinions and yet broaden their outlook on life in general. Their Sunday programs, consistmg of worship, food and entertainment, are planned by a different group each week, givmg every member a chance for participa- tion. One of the brightest spots in the UCF program is the weekend retreat held during fall and spring quarters. In winter, a day is spent in one of the churches. 186 The president of United Christian Fellowship, Norm Overly, reads a committee report during a meeting. From left to right are: seated in row I .

Small, but mighty could well be used to describe Sigmalpha, the only social club for Jewish men on campus at the present time. From that red-letter date in September, 1950, when the club was organized, the Sigmalpha pin, seven-sided with a bordering of half pearls and an onyx center, has been seen a lot on campus. Certainly, they have lived up to their purpose: To foster and maintain a spirit of brotherhood and fraternalism among its members. ' Its members are very active m other groups on cam- pus. They have members on committees, such as elec- tions committee. Men ' s Union, Lens and Shutter club and the school tennis teams. They also participate in school activities such as Penny Carnival and intramurals. They were all-univer- sity swimming champs in 1951. The group is headed by Stan Bober. president; Leo Swartz, secretary and Ted Schniderman. treasurer. The faculty advisor is Mr. Goudeau and the a lumni advisor is Walter Phillips. If Sigmalpha maintains its present record, they may become a new Jewish fraternity at KSU. 188 Row 1. left to right, Eleanor Pulsford. Candee Beam and Marilyn Heitman. Row 2, Mrs. Norma Hostetler.

Kappa Phi then performs the role of Santa Claus by filling baskets for two needy families of Kent. The aims of Kappa Phi are to furnish an oppor- tunity for development and leadership.

Nu-K With red and white posters hanging high in the atrium and a great deal of support from the members below, a new political party was launched on campus in 1949 and christened the Nu-K. A tightly knit organization, with nine member fraternities and sororities, Nu-K made quick progress in their governmental reform during the spring elections of 1951. Nu-K in its platform states its beliefs that politics are every- one ' s job, not just the business of a chosen few. Nu-K realizing the independent ' s lack of representation on campus, chooses candidates outside the party at times and extends a welcome to anyone who is interested. They use a scree ning process to select those who they believe are most capable for the office. For Nu-K publicity at election time, the party printed book matches in red with the slogan, Be Bright! Vote Right! Sup- port Nu-K! In addition to the traditional posters featured, the group sponsors an all-University rally before elections, to acquaint the KSU student body with their party candidates. Officers of the Nu-K political party are shown above talking over future plans of this party. They are, left to right, Pat Shoaff, secretary: Gib Martin, treasurer, and Yvonne Garick. pres.

Dormitory fellowship Happy Birthday UT The grass became an emerald setting for Stopher hall during this year of 1951 ; shrubs bloomed abundantly on the surroundmg slopes. And when fall chilled the green from her grass, and winter blew her shrubs bare, Stopher warmed her 275 charges with a fellowship rarely found in such a large dormitory. A name on the door prompted one to knock, then the person behind the door made him want to sit and talk, to joke and laugh. The atmosphere also grew to be one of learning and discussion . . . true dorm life. If organizations used cakes to celebrate birthday anniversaries. University Theater would have a huge one, complete with 21 candles this year. Since its beginning, UT has encouraged interest in dramatic activity. UT members not on stage ushered, constructed sets, applied make-up and worked on costumes for the six plays. A sub-division of UT, studio theater, made its debut with student directed, student acted plays. Socially, UT played host during freshman week with refreshments and a display of past activities.

The ivory soap sank   Quiet, compelling The American Chemical society replaced the Chem- istry club, thus obtaining national recognition as a chapter of the large organization. The organization ' s activities are many and varied. Recently, the society has been approached by admin- istrative officials to dynamite the hall-blockers out of the atrium. They are working feverishly to com- plete this project. One of the major triumphs this society has had this year was during a particularly interesting experiment when a member actually made a cake of Ivory soap sink! It is noon of any week-day and the atmosphere of this place is quiet and compelling. One could almost hear a pin drop at this meeting. Classmates who are usually loud and boisterous sit in a quiet contempla- tion that is never matched in a classroom. The reason is that these students are not listening to an ordinary lecture, but are getting To know Christ and make Him know. These students are members of I nter- Varsity Christian Fellowship and this is one of their prayer meetings. IVCF has many chap- ters all over the country. Kent ' s chapter started in 1 946.

There was just one spotlight in the entire room pin- pointed on a picture hanging on the wall. Many people stood in front of the picture, twisting their necks, turn- ing their heads and frowning quizzically. They stood close for a while and then they moved back. These people were members of the art club and the pamting on the wall was the epitome of abstractness. But the looking kept on. Occasionally someone grunted to the person standing next to him, but usually only the shuffling of feet was heard. Finally, someone cleared his throat self-consciously and boldly strode forward to the picture, grasped it by the sides and turned it around. Immediately, gasps of surprise whipped through the crowd and everyone rushed to the brave person con- gratulating him. The abstractness of the painting ceased when It was placed m its proper position and the art club members had overcome another challenge of the art world. Seriously, however, the art club at Kent has grown a great deal recently and, with the aim of increasing students appreciation of art, its future looks bright. 193 WKSU ' FM ♦ . ♦ the tower of power on campus With a few reams of copy stretched out in front of him and around him. Jim Tschantz contemplates the editing job before him. Starting in the winter quarter of 1952. WKSU-FM began to broadcast news on its regular program schedule. The Community Voice of Kent and Ra- venna. as it is known to local Hsteners, has a regular coverage of ap- proximately 30 miles. The station is open to all p ersons interested in radio. From Studio A, the announcer looks into the control room to get his cue from engineer Pete Dignan. Dignan had just turned down the theme music and signaled the an- nouncer to come on. WKSU-FM is listed with the Fed- eral Communications commission as an educational station, but they still must follow all the commission ' s regulations. Checking a script to be broadcast over radio station WAKR in Akron is program director Gus Ressler and Marge Petty of the University station. Every Saturday, WKSU-FM presents a show on the Akron station. Ressler was the program director for the winter quarte r of 1952. while the fall PD was Bill Morris. In the background on the wall is the traffic board which contains a card for every program on the station during every day. The station broadcasts from 12 to 2 and from 5 to 8:30. 194 f — i I ■ ■■ Here is the engineer ' s view of a studio production at WKJSU-FM. Before the boom microphone is Marge Barber and Berni Russi. while Gus Ressler stands at the announcer ' s microphone and prepares to take over at the station break. This is one of the many disk-jockey programs which is produced over the station and which gives students actual experience in radio work- The studios and Kent hall are both radio-active On the right, with his face half in shadow, is remote engineer Dave Saviers as he checks the progress of the baseball game which WKSU-FM is covering. N ' ext to him is announcer Myron Shaw, while on his right sits Jim Zeigler. who covers the color of the game. The person on the left is an unidentified spotter. The studio was bustling with activity. People were running around setting up microphones and arranging cord. Inside the control room, engineers were dialing knobs and colored lights were flashing on and off. Confusion? No, of course not. This is not confusion. These are the studios of radio station WKSU-FM on the third floor of Kent hall. These studios make Kerit hall radio-active. Formerly providing only campus coverage on AM, WKSU is now a two-year-old veteran of FM broadcasting. From the radio waves surging out from the tower of power on top of Kent hall, a broadcasting area of about 30 miles may be achieved. Programing for the station is done by the program director, who is appointed each quarter. Through the six-room station have passed many of the top personalities of the faculty and the leading students on campus. It seems that one appearance on WKSU-FM does something to the person and he too becomes radio-active, like the staff. 195 Guilty or not ♦ ♦ ♦ ? Guilty or not guilty . . . that is the ques- tion! The poor frosh dragged himself before his council of peers and looked about the room as the tribunal brought up his offense of Freshman week. Placing his dink over his heart and try- ing to appear innocent, the poor frosh rapidly approached the point where he hoped the earth would open up and swallow him. Finally the jury hashed over the case and announced the verdict. Yes sir, the KSU seal really shined that week! What was this tribunal that tore the frosh apart Freshman week? Student council! That is just one of their many activities to represent the student body and promote better interests on campus. First row, from left to riglit. Avis Pinney and Harry Moldovan. Second row.

The elections committee is an appointed comnnittee of the Student council which super- vises the elections which take place bi-annually. They make the election rules, judge the eligibility of candidates, count the ballots, distribute and collect petitions, and last but not least, supply the Kent Stater with plenty of news on student government, which is published for the benefit of the students. Experience in college politics Angry independents dueled with lighted cigarette butts in the Union meeting room; sorority girls locked their pins in clashes of sparkling indignation; fraternity boys rolled sleepless eyes over old political science tests to find a legal way out of the frightful mess. No need to explain that this was the usual procedure of a meeting of the elections committee. With a Kent Stater reporter sitting there calmly taking down notes as the debate continued, charges flew around like fire crackers being set off on the fourth of July. With the Stater plugging constantly to do away with questionable political practices, attempts to interpret the Constitu- tion really hit a high mark. One election dispute occurred when the committees 17 members were to see that the various candidates for student government turned m their eligibility petitions at least 10 days before the November 6 election. This date fell on a Saturday and the Committee decided to make the deadline Friday at 12 noon. Quite a controversy arose over the validity of the petitions; the committee finally accepted all of them, but a great deal was learned by the committee about constitutional interpretations and policies. 197 Rifles and sabers ♦ • ♦ Kent ' s own warriors It was still dark in the morning when the truck pulled away from the campus loaded with KSU soldiers. They were not in full-dress garb this time, however. They were bundled up in khaki and carried rifles with them. The weather was bitter. The wind swept over the dark countryside, as the truck bounced toward Streetsboro. Up ahead, waiting for the arrival of the Kent troops, lay the men from Akron university. As the front lines were reached, the men got out of the trucks and mapped out their plan of attack. This was war, mock war yes, but still war. In this engagement between the Pershing Rifle and Scabbard and Blade units of Kent and Akron, many mistakes were made, but that is what the engagement was for ... to make mistakes. For these mistakes, once made, would never be repeated in actual battle. And that is the purpose of the military honor groups at Kent, to produce good soldiers.

The Booster ' s main function is promotion of school spirit and athletics. This is no easy job, however. It takes work, plan- ning and co-operation to accomplish. The club sponsors fund raising dances to furnish money for athletic scholarships and other worth while causes. Highlight of the 1931 year was the April Showers dance in Akron. Johnny Long ' s orchestra was featured at the all-university dance. Composing the group are representatives from each Greek and independent organization on campus. They work with other interested students to make the club ' s activities run smoothly. During its annual membership drive, Booster club awards a plaque to all organizations with lOO ' f membership. Aside from their main duties, the Booster club acts as a middleman between the University and Kent ' s downtown Booster club, creating a closer association between the two groups.

Standing in the back are Mike Tangi and Al Korman as they talk over the next election. With politics at a high pitch, an exciting and rivalrous ' 51 fall election proved KSU to have a wholesome two party system. Reaching a peak over a question concerning constitu- tional validity of petition deadlines, both parties used every political element to draw student favor. Finally, when November 3rd rolled around. Blue and Gold succeeded in being on top again. Blue and Gold first appeared in 1936 only to dissolve four years later in favor of an all-Greek group. Ten years later, in May, the campus was in an upheaval over the election of council members. A new system was needed and the present BG group sprang forth. FoUowmg a rather slow start, the organization has grown into one of the dominant factors in campus politics. Five sororities and six fraternities form the membership of this party. Its platform is expressed as bringing politics to a position of prominence and integrity, responsible and representative student government, better student- faculty relations and a big time athletic program. 201 Women ' s league and Men ' s union • ♦ • salutations In case you pass a member of Women ' s League in the hallway some day and it appears that she doesn ' t know whether to say hello or goodbye, don ' t be worried because there is good reason for this indecision. It ' s a dual task for Woman ' s leaguers each year to say hello and goodbye to all Kent co-eds. It ' s hi at the beginning of each year with the Big-Little sister tea and it ' s farewell at the end of each year at the Senior Women ' s banquet. An organization which boasts the membership of every girl at Kent, the league functions through its executive council. This council is composed of 2! members, including representatives from the dormitories, WAA, student council, pan-hellenic council, and four women from each of the classes. These members are elected each year. The league is a member of the Inter-collegiate Association of Women students and fosters as its purpose the promotion of physical, mental and spiritual standards of University women. Each winter quarter, the group sponsors a style show and, in conjunction with Men ' s union, they present Pork Barrel, a pot-purri of talent and no-talent which blends into much fun. The executive council of Women ' s league is shown here in a meeting discussing plans for Pork Barrel. From left to right, row I. Nancy Wilson, Esther Prit- chard and Rita Gattozzi. Row 2.

No. ' She said, Here ' s your pin. Such is Hfe! Although these occasions were rare, there was food for thought in the minds of many coeds when Men ' s union announced the beard growing contest. It brought a screeching halt to several dating couples, but it also provided a great deal of fun for participants and on- lookers alike. Pork Barrel, co-sponsored with Women ' s league, is another activity which this organi- zation sponsors. In the past, it has also been the policy of Men ' s union to sponsor the radio broadcast of at least one of the away football games. However, the highlight of this group ' s ac- tivities occurs in the spring quarter at the end of the year when they conduct the annual President ' s banquet. In honor of the exec- utive leaders of the campus, the goal of MU is to better relations between organizations. The officers of Men ' s union meet and discuss plans for the beard contest.

Camera clickers Quality, not quantity The pretty model sat on a bench before a bank of lights. A handful of men swarmed around her moving spotlights here and there to better suit their needs. Everyone had a different theory on how the lighting should be arranged. Ordinarily, too many cooks spoil the soup, but not when it comes to photography. This was a practical meeting of Kappa Alpha Mu, photo honorary and Lens and Shutter club. These clubs contain the photographic talent of the University. Some members are working newspaper men, while others hold down chief editorial postions on campus publications, thus getting practical experience. The old saying about quality being more important than quantity applies very specifically to one group on campus. It is Theta Sigma Phi, women ' s honorary journalism group. Composed of only eight members, they have already made great strides in their first full year of being national. Everyone of the members is active in publication work. This year they sponsored a publicity clinic for all club publicity directors of northeastern Ohio. Other activities include the publication of Jar- gon, a booklet for journalism students and a Home- coming coffee hour for all returning journalism alums.

With meetings in 109 Merrill hall, the jour- nalism rooms with newspapers from all over the country, it is hard for the men not to glance through the papers and compare notes. However, Chi Pi men found time to do many other things also. Top on the list was the petitioning of Sigma Delta Chi, national fraternity. Others include the J banquet and the high school journalism day. They read Theatre Arts and Variety, mumble breath- less prayers to the Muse Caliope to transport them to the glittering footlights, have dreams of being another Laurence Olivier . . . who are theyV This group with it ' s own personality is Alpha Psi Omega, national dramatic honorary.

The sun was filtering through the budding trees on the front campus and the music of the band wafted through the crisp, morning air. At the foot of the hill in front of Lowry hall, the maypole dancers pranced around in front of the Campus day queen. Standing out in the color and pageantry of the bustling activity was a group of white-suited women carrying large crimson colored keys. These girls were members of the women s service honorary on campus, Cardinal key, escorting the May queen and her court. Cardinal key has had a great deal to do with the tradi- tions of Kent. Each spring, they sponsor an Easter egg hunt for the children of Kent. Penny carnival, the proceeds of which go to a worthy cause, is co-sponsored with Blue key, as well as Campus day. At Christmas time their project is to sell cards printed with University scenes. From left to right, row 1, Dolores Avallon, Roseann Minchak, Shirley Walker, Jo David, Jan McGarr, Caroline Arnold.

Unusual key on campus signifies Blue Key Some keys are peculiar nuisances. Either they fit or they don ' t. They are evil necessities in the opening of doors, of cars, of trunks, and a conglomeration of other things associated with daily living. However, there is a key which leads the way behind and inside more important things. And so it is that Blue Key, national men ' s honorary, is one of the leaders on our campus. Participating in all campus drives, they carry out one of their main purposes; that of serv- ice. Leadership and scholarship are two other goals required for membership. Teaming up with Cardinal Key, national women ' s honorary, the two sponsor Penny Carnival each spring, in which pennies go a long way in providing a lot of fun and enter- tainment. Although not carried on the proverbial key ring, this national honorary is one of the unusual keys on our campus. It is one which opens a very important door ... a door to scholarship, leadership and service. Vern Roberts, vice-president of Blue Key, stands talking to Don Friedman, secretary, sitting on the right, while Bob Weber, president, looks on. The topic of discussion was pledging and plans for annual Penny Carnival. 209 Bridge, books and fun - Engleman After an Engleman girl has settled herself in the most comfortable smoker chair she can find, well supplied with cokes, cigarettes, food, textbooks and good in- tentions, the inevitable usually happens. Somebody yells, Is there a fourth for bridge? Ah, home was never like this! But to the 238 girls who live at Engleman. it is home. House meetings and fire drills once a month may not be the vogue with the average American family, but they are established factors in dormitory life. To work out any problems which may arise, they have house officers, monitors and counselors. All-university activities such as Homecoming and Campus day are a challenge and never is the spirit of friendly cooperation more evident. Engleman girls were especially proud this year to hail one of their own as Homecoming queen and to add the women ' s dorm decorations trophy to their collection of Oscars. Left to right, first row.

Cold weather brings the bull sessions back inside the dorm. Ah. home was never like this. Here. Peggy O ' Neal is pictured doing her weekly washing. The automatic washers in the dorm have replaced Mother ' s chore. A typical room scene at Engleman is displayed here in Joan White ' s room as she. Shirley Chambers and Lois Whyte discuss the usual gab session topic concerning school. What a climb to Lowry! Just a few more steps . . . ah. at last! The top of the two hill climb to Lowry hall is finally reached and a big sigh of relief is heaved forth. Besides being the oldest dorm on campus, this is the only one which can boast of havmg two dining rooms. Breakfast is really a comedy. Girls come in with half closed eyes, jeans on, hair still in curlers and sleepily try to scan over a certain subject or review for a test as breakfast is choked down. In the hub-bub of lunch and dinner, chatter flies around fast and thick. One hears the usual line of complaints, news and campus gossip. Instead of crying in their beer, coffee is used as love troubles are hashed over. Every girl is on her own to follow the dormitory standards under the honor system, which originated in the fall of 1950. That means that quiet hours aren ' t screamed out at co-eds by counselors; Lowry girls are just supposed to suppress their screams to a whisper when 7:30 rolls around. It works too! Pictured pinning remnants, souvenirs and the like on their typical college bulletin board are Dorothy Butterine and Joan Arick in their room at Lowry hall, the oldest dorm on campus.

Moulton ♦ ♦ ♦ the dorm that is never forgotten Pictured here are freshmen Mona Lutga, on the top bunk. Beneath are Frances Gordon and Charlene Carey in a typical room at Moulton hall. It looks as though the girls are trying to decide whether to eat or to hit the books. It is the first taste of dorm life and at times it is hectic for the poor fresh who have to adapt themselves to the totally new life of being away from home, but there are few who will say they didn ' t love it at Moulton hall. Gaiety and laughter, with an undercurrent of seriousness and determination, characterize this dorm atmosphere. Day ' s events and life in general are re- hashed for hours at a time. A lot of philosophy is absorbed during these sessions to prove education is not all from text books, but comes also from the people one meets. Then, too. who could ever forget those counselors screaming because something wasn ' t just so . . . yet laughing about it afterwards. Oh yes. and then there were those fire drills in the middle of the night when one just dreaded getting out of such nice warm beds. Signing in and out. campuses, room cleaning in- spection, lights out . . . what a life! Sure it was hard at first for frosh to adjust themselves to this, but wasn ' t it worth it? The answer is an emphatic yes. 213 Left to right, sitting on the iioor. Virgil McAmis and Paul Stewart. Row 1. Bill Thomas. Dave Bosomworth. Al See, John Cusic, Don Ellison.

Does your father work? Naw, he ' s a cop. Every student has heard that expression used at least once during his college career. The only difference now is that we are talking about the University police force and they do work! Just ask anyone who comes out of class in the middle of a blizzard to find a beautiful yellow message attached to the windshield of his car. This gives a pretty grim picture of the protectors of law and order, but they also have many other jobs. Hard at work around the clock, the police force does everything from walking beats to patroling the campus in the patrol car with the big bordered letters POLICE painted on the door. In conjunction with the police force is the group with the limited vocabulary called the Student Court. Most persons who have appeared before this body would bet that the only word they know how to say is Guilty . Appointments to meet this group can be made very easily. All a person has to do is park hisj auto in a restricted area, and introductions will follow.

First, those on the offensive tried to pierce the right side of the defense. But the defense held and shifted their strength around. Next the offense began an aerial attack, but it was battered down by the defense. The tide of battle changed often as the captains of both forces employed all known strategy. This sounds like the story of a football game, doesn ' t it? It isn ' t however. It ' s the story of a war. It ' s the story of any war, but mostly the one which faces America today. Doesn ' t it seem better to settle ques- tions of supremacy on the gridiron, or on the track, rather than on a foreign battle- field ... or on a local battlefield at home? That ' s how it was Photo by Joe Klosterman 220 j  g | - ' J JgeJir Sm S bad weather, fair teams, but a good year in 221 Track and field   There is a certain rhythm about running feet that is fascinating. Without even watching a track meet, but just listening, each event may be picked out. Notice as the 220 yard low hurdles are run. The starter ' s gun goes off and from up at the end of the track comes the choppy sound of many running feet, trying to slip into a smooth stride. Suddenly they lift from the ground at the first hurdle, there is a moment of silence and then the rhythmical thud, thud, thud of striding feet between hurdles begins. At the last hurdle, the thud, thud, thud lifts from the ground again for the last time. When the sound begins again however, it is not smooth. In the all out drive to the tape, the runners have shifted to a sprint, using any style to get home first. The broad jump is the same way. Coming down the runway, the feet of the jumper search for marks to enable him to hit the board right. Another long silence follows while the jumper cuts his way through 20 feet of space. Then comes a swoosh, as his feet churn into the sawdust pit. The muscular co-ordination acquired by these athletes, the ability to control their muscles, is a tribute to the sport of track and field. The bar was set at 12 feet, 5 ' 2 inches. No one had ever pole vaulted that high on the Memorial stadium track. Bob Phelps stood at the end of the runway. I fe charged down the path and cleared the bar. the first one in history. The violent power and impact of a human body descend- ing after a leap of about 20 feet through space is shown in this picture of Don Mitchell landing in the broad jump pit. Standing in the background is scorer, Neil Skinner. 222 A short run, a leap, and Donald Carter, a junior, clears the high bar in this try for more ICSU points m the meet against Bowling Green State university. I lowever. even the points Carter scored for Kent weren ' t enough. The Flashes were swamped by Bowling Green in this meet. 86-41. The pattern for the rest of this 120 yard high hurdle event is already in evidence at the first hurdle as 1 larold Mayhew, FCSU trackman, in lane two. and a Case Tech cinderman. in lane one. race side by side. The Case runner finally forged ahead of Mayhew and won the contest. The Engineers won the meet by a score of 78 ' 2-48 ' j.

The beginning of the season was rocky; the Flashes lost three straight meets to Bowling Green, Mount Union and Case. Then however, the team began to shape up and defeated Western Reserve in a close meet, 63} to 62 -2- Traveling to Tiffin, the Flashes swamped the Heidelberg Student Princes 91-36. In the final meet of the season with Akron university, the weather slowed all times considerable. It rained throughout most of the meet and many puddles of water settled on the track. The Flashes proved to be the better mudders as they edged the Zips 65 to 63. The following is the track record for the season.

This win gave the Flashes five of the 41 points they scored in the meet. The start of a race and the strategy involved in shifting to the inside for the forthcoming turn are items which make the op)ening steps of a race exciting.

He has just reason to be happy, however. The team has won their eighth straight victory and all but one of these men returned for the 1952 season. From left to right, are: Joe Lazor, John Kulig. Morette. Paul Yawarsky and George Stevens. The only man not returning is Joe Lazor, number one golfer from Akron. Lazor, brother of pro Nick Lazor, is now in the army. ' ' Hit the ball first, then look up ' ' Start the down swing with the hips! Keep that right elbow close to your body! Don ' t forget, the real secret oi hitting the ball well is timing your wrist action. To a lot of people, this sounds like a short-course in anatomy. But if you ever ventured out to Twin Lakes country club, this is probably what you heard. The man who spoke these words of professionally learned wisdom was How- ard Morette, coach of the Kent State golf team. The reason — he was working the kinks out of a group of hopefuls in preparation for the coming season. The boys seemed to take Morette ' s words to heart because they went out and compiled a great record for the campaign. After dropping their first two matches, the Morettemen mowed down eight straight opponents and showed an 8 and 2 won-lost slate for their labor. The squad featured a foursome that not only split the center of the fairway with booming, accurate drives, but, quite a few times, changed the entire com- plexion of a match with pinpoint putting. Joe Lazor, John Kulig, George Stevens and Paul Yawarsky comprised the team that led the Flashes to a standout season. All played consistent, top- flight golf, always in the 70 ' s. Whenever one of the four slumped, coach Morette had Roger Johnston and Bob Burns around to take up the slack. The Stater ' s fourth-place finish in the Ohio Intercollegiate meet at Columbus was another bright achievement, thus, proving their right to rank high among the elite of Ohio college golf. Morette is all smiles as he looks forward to this year ' s prospects with four lettermen and several brilliant freshmen to form the nucleus of the team. 226 Golfers lose first 2 matches, then win 8 straight Kent 6 2 Wooster 93 ' 2 at Kent Kent S Ohio Wesleyan }4 at Kent Kent 12 Mount Union 3 9 at Alliance Kent 15 Kenyon I at Kent Kent 10 Akron 6 at Akron Kent 10 Bowling Green 6 at Kent Kent 9}4 Baldwin Wallace 6 at Berea Kent 11 Fenn 5 at Kent Kent 15 Akron 1 at Kent John Kulig. left, addresses his tee shot on the fifth tee and tells his team-mates that he is going to let out a little shaft on this sh ot.

Paul awarsky digs into his bag to get a new golf ball. — One that will go farther. The shadows were getting long, the sun was disappearing behind the clouds and sweaters seemed to be the style for the well dressed golfer. But the match had to continue, so John Kulig held the pin and watched while George Stevens lined up his 25 footer on the fourth green. The shadows had not gotten much longer before Stevens stroked it home for his birdie three. The Golden Flashes are crossing the bridge on the 18th hole, but are not quite so flashy any more.

But when the men got together and started to play, things just didn ' t jell. The Flash baseball team had nine lettermen to start the campaign, but even with this wealth of experience, the Resick coached machine was able to grind out only a nine and eight won-lost record. Still that is above .500 baseball. The main trouble was that the majority ot the experience was spread over the outfield and among the pitchers. This left several gaping holes in the infield. Frank Klinger, hot-corner specialist, and Bill Reppa, 1st sacker, weren ' t enough to hold the middle part of the sagging foursome together. The weak hitting of the Flashes was a big factor in most of the losses. A base hit that never came could have changed the complexion of many games. But that ' s baseball, it happens to the best of teams. Wait til next year! Striking a typical baseball pose, with hands thrust deep into hip pockets.

Standing on the right watching Mancos score is Bob Speno, Kent pitcher who hurled a 5-2 victory. The man on the 45 degree angle is the Ohio U. catcher lunging for a wild throw coming from the outfield. 230 A Bowling Green university Falcon is shown here starting his slide into second base. But the throw from Kent catcher Willie Cramer to second baseman Dick Oberdorfer has him beaten easily. Number 3 in the foregound is Kent third baseman Frank Klinger. The Flashes won this game 2-0 early in the year. It was Kent ' s first win at home. Bill Reppa. Kent first baseman, is the top man on the totem pole in this picture. In a wild throw from third base, he had to leap high off the bag and the Bowling Green runner was safe on the throwing error. This was from the same contest as the picture of the steal above. The runner scored an unearned run on a hit which followed. With his warm-up jacket on. Russ Stahlman.

Kent ' s tennis team couldn ' t complain about being on the road too much last year, since only two of the I I matches played were away, but still they could come out on top in only four matches. However, prospects for the 1952 season look bright. Coach Karl Chesnutt loses only one person from last year ' s net squad, while several new players moving up bring a smile to his face. Last years experience, rough as it was. should provide a good cushion for the rac- queteers. With this talented line-up to throw at the opposi- tion, this year ' s court combine should definitely provide Kent with one of its greatest tennis teams in recent years.

The reason for the dramatic fervor in the air was a football game. What can cause more enthusiasm than Saturday afternoon in the fall and a football game? Walking along the path leading to the stadium, the blaring band music could be heard reverberating across the campus. Getting closer to the stadium, peeking inside, the cheerleaders could be seen rousing the spirits of the early comers. Once inside the stadium, the field occupied the center of interest. While the brilliantly clad players ran through their pre-game practice, the coaches paced up and down in front of their respective benches, each with a com- mon goal ... to beat the other guy ' s team. Suddenly, the zebra-striped officials appear on the field, the captains meet, the coin goes in the air and the teams line up. As the whistle blows, drums begin to roll, the ball is kicked . . . and the game starts. Posed in front of the athletic field house is the 1951 Golden Flash football team. On the left, in the front row kneeling, is Coach Trevor Rees. Schooling his team in the intricate split-T offense, the Flashes compiled a record of four wins, three loses and two ties. Also, this past season was Kent ' s opening year of competition in the Mid-America conference. Jack Wahoo Mancos, 46, slops around end in the third quarter of the New Hampshire game and picks up enough yardage to break the old scor- ing mark for one season. Blocking out two would-be Wildcat tacklers is End Joe Barbee. 87. The snow, having been scraped from the field, left nothing but mud. which was soon churned into a sea of goo. Bu t the game wen t on and Kent lost to the Wildcats. 7-0. Mancos sets new record As each individual game was completed during the season, it became more and more apparent that there was one standout player on the Flash team. That man, of course, was Jack Mancos, all-Ohio halfback. In the final game of the season, the New Hampshire mud-bowl, Jack gained 94 yards to make a total of 778 yards for the season. This surpassed another Kent great, Wib Little, who set the old mark of 759 yards in 1948. But now, the season is over and Mancos ' college career has ended. He will hang up his cleats and slowly disappear into history along side other of Kent ' s gridiron greats. His name will be forgotten as the fickle public looks toward the coming season and seeks new stars. But through this article, the Burr hopes he will not be forgotten. 235 J ---y. .,rvw ■-v.

And the results could not have disappointed anybody. One of the top teams of the east, ranked behind the great elevens of Maryland and Princeton, the Bisons met their match in the Golden Flashes. This game was one of the most dramatic games ever played by a Kent grid team. Kent lost 13-7, but that is not half the story. One play, pictured at the left, will go down in Kent foot- ball history. It portrayed the daring of Kent football. It shocked Bucknell, but not quite enough. However, the Bisons knew they had been in a football game. Previous to the Bucknell encounter, the Flashes had smooth sailing in racking up three straight victories. Mancos scored five T.D. ' s to rout Western Michigan, 48-19, at Kalamazoo, Don Campbell ' s educated toe was the margin as Mount Union was edged, 28-27; while, a second-half avalanche won for the Flashes, 42-20, over Western Reserve in Cleveland. In the white jerseys charging downfield are two gcxxi reasons why Ohio university defeated Kent, 28-27.

Follow- ing close behind, after having handed off to Mancos, is Nick Dellerba, 20, Kent quarter- back. Bucknell won the contest 13 to 7. 237 Amid fierce blocking and high sidestepping. Lou Mariano, number 14, attempts to squeeze his way through a small hole in the line. But the Ohio U. defenders apj ear to be closing the hole rapidly. Although Mariano dodged one tackier on the ground, big number 73 moved in and dumped him to the turf. The game, which was played before a jammed stadium at Athens, was won by O.U., 2 -27. avenging last year ' s defeat. However, Kent ' s second half surge almost overtook the Bobcats. Mud, New Hampshire dull Flashes, 7 ' 0 Kent tangled with their second eastern team of the season when New Hampshire invaded for the last game of the year. At the same time that New Hampshire arrived, so did a blizzard. At game time the two feet of snow had been scraped from the field and a 100 yard length of mud was visible in the stadium. Most persons were resigned to a scoreless deadlock. But New Hamp- shire gambled and threw a pass in the second period. It was the only one they completed all day, but it was good for a quick touchdown and that was the game. The intricate split-T attack of Kent taught by Coach Trevor Rees was useless, although the game ended with Kent on the Wildcats four yard line. The week before, the Flashes had crushed Akron in the Homecoming game, 48-7. Prior to that Kent had traveled to Bowling Green and tied them 27-27, their second tie of the year. Morris-Harvey was also tied, 14-14. Traveling to Ohio university for the grudge battle, Kent was edged 28-27, losing the Mid-American con- ference championship at the same time. Despite the apparent mediocrity of a 4-3-2 record, the football season has to be termed a success. A few breaks here and there and the season would have been outstanding. With extra points by Don Campbell de- termining the final outcome of so many games, it must be agreed that Kent brought the foot back in football. Traveling to Western Michigan in Kalamazoo for the opening game of the season, the Golden Flashes un- leashed a powerful attack and swamped the Broncos, 48-19. On this play, Jim Dawkins. 18, for Kent, knocks aside a pass which was intended for 98, the Bronco end. 238 imii Kent ties BG, 27-27 Before a jam-packed stadium at Bowling Green, quarterback Nick Dellerba slips through the line and is finally brought down in the secondary on a quarterback sneak which picked up enough yardage for a first down. The homecoming crowd at BG cheered as the underdog Falcons held favored Kent to a 27-27 tie in a long established rivalry. Blizzard ends season Wahoo Mancos. number 46, goes around end against New Hampshire and picks up a few yards before being swarmed up on by Wildcats. The slippery field slowed both teams running attacks to plain power run- ning and eliminated all fancy play. On one completed pass the Easterners defeated the Flashes. 7-0. This was their second win in the same number of years over the Flashes. Flashes edge Mount The Purple Raiders of Mount Union, always a jinx to Kent, opened the Flash home stand with the only night game of the year. In this photo, two Kent tacklers move in for the kill after eluding a pair of blockers. Kent ' s pass defense crumbled late in the game and Mount pulled to within one point, but time ran out and Kent triumphed 28-27. 239 240 Coach Bud Haerr, with the warm-up jacket on, gives his team a little pre-season advice before the opening game with Miami.

New coach, new team, new conference for cagers From Silver Foxes to Golden Flashes, from games with high schools to top-flight competition . . . this is the story of basketball at Kent. Beginning in 1946, the Flashes began to show evidence of grow- ing pains by amassing lop-sided scores against Ohio conference competition, of which Kent was a member. Coach then was Harry Adams, who began this early development. When Dave McDowell came along the nucleus of a good team was here and he fashioned the greatest team in Kent ' s history in 1949-30. The team compiled a 16-4 record. After losing all of that team, he moulded another impressive club in 1950-51. It was so impressive in fact, that the following year Kent was in the Mid-Amenca conference. This year, Kent entered its first season of Mid- America play. The results were not spectacular, but after all, boys do not become men overnight. Captain Bob Dilling of the Golden Flashes soars high into the air to rack up two points against Toledo university at the Kent field house. These two were not quite enough however, as the Rockets of Toledo U. ground out a 71 to 66 victory.

Bijack was one of the mainstays of the team last year and scored many points against top-flight competition from other universities. A championship team is the prime goal of all coaches and participants of any sport. But here, a championship team cost Kent one of their intercollegiate sports. In past years, the gymnastic team has been a leading na- tional power with an Olympic champion on the roster. It got to the point where other school ' s would not schedule Kent because of the inevitable beating they would take. When the team started to draw up a schedule of matches for this year, they drew an absolute blank. No other schools would schedule Kent. The squad faced a problem. If the sport were aban- doned, there was a good chance that it would die. Rather than have this happen, a gymnastics club was organized under the direction of former coach, Vic Moore. The aim of this organization is to keep up interest in gymnastics until it can be resumed as a varsity sport. Organized workouts plus a schedule of exhibitions in this area are the functions of the hopeful membership. Good team, no schedule, so gymnasts form club From left to right in the first row are: Jay Alexander. Bob Kistler, Ed Hallal and Dave Korman. Row 2. Richard May, Tom Oddo. Ed McVeil, Art Polen and Victor Moore, assistant professor of health and physical education. Mr. Moore is also director of intramural athletics. Since the intercollegiate gymnastic team has been disbanded, this club was organized by ex-team members. 246 Forgetting the rigid, individual timing and muscular coordination required by- single performances on the assorted apparatus of the gymnast, the members of the gymnastic team relax a while and indulge in a little pyramiding. Although most persons could not relax very well in this position, these men have no trouble at all. They have trained and worked together so that it is easy. Still horsing around, though not on the side horse, is Art Polen and his up-side down companions. Art, last year, was one of the team ' s ace tumblers and won many points with his outstanding work on the mats. Despite his many leaps high into the air and subsequent flips and turns, he always manages to land in a vertical position, usually with his head at the top of the heap. 247 From left to right, row 1.

Rochester, N. Y. 248 Crowd struggles with every move of wrestlers Inside the huge field house, a small group of people huddled in the bleachers near the center of the building. Their ohs and ahs circulated all through the steel girders in the upper reaches of the engineering masterpiece. In the center of the floor, under the battery of lights which beat down, was a large mat spread out. On this mat were three men. Two were rolhng over and over, twist- ing and turning, while the third circulated around them in catlike fashion. The small crowd never diverted their attention from the men in the center. Occa- sionally, their faces twisted up into a pained expression and other times they appeared quite satisfied and contented. Seated on benches along sides of the mat were two groups of young men. They were a study m contrasts. While one benchload was jubilant, the other was depressed. This is the story of a wrestling match. It is the story of a sport wiiich pits the individual brains and experience of one man against another. It is a sport of which Kent can be proud . . . not like the wrestlers on television. • ' 2 -$ . ' ln . ' ¥ The Kent bench looks quite concerned over the outcome of the match on the mat. Next to the unidentified man in the letter sweater is Joe Begala. with his hand to his face. Next is Bill Mahusky. followed by John Redfern and Bill Hill, manager, holding the towel. Here is John Redfern of Kent, on the bottom, attempting to hook a foot of his Indiana State college opponent. Ed Branish. from Indiana State, finally won a close decision from Redfern. Kent won six out of eight matches in registering the victory over Indiana. Coach Begala to retire ♦ ♦ ♦ when pupil pins him Twenty divides into 150 exactly 7.5 times. This elementary bit of mathematics pertains to Weepin Joe Begala, one of the top wrestling coaches in the coun- try. This season was his 20th at the helm of Kent wrestling teams. During this past season, his team presented him with his I 50th win of his career. The math- ematics shows that his teams have won 7.5 matches a season. More math shows he has lost only 1 .3 matches. This record, over a period of 20 years, denotes a consistency which is almost unbelievable. Joe ' s teams have lost only 26 matches during this time. The championships which he has rung up in this time are also unbelievable. They have won nine interstate championships, ten Northeastern Ohio AAU championships, three state collegiate championships and have had 100 individual champions. Further, four of his teams were undefeated and nine lost but once during the season. Joe has yet to find a pupil who can pin him in wrestling. He says when that day comes, he will retire. The Burr hopes that it is not for quite some time. Trying to stand up out of a hold is Jerry Conway, looking downward. The man riding Conway is his opponent from BG in the 157 pound class. Ian MacEwan, of Kent, wearing the head protec- tor, lines up behind his I ndianaStateopponent, Sam Thomas. MacEwan pinned him in the third period. John Redfern. of Kent, attempts to roll his oppo- nent over and try for a pin. The man on the bot- tom is 167 pounder James Rea from Bee Gee. Oberlin college is the competition in this picture of Jerry Con- way being pushed into the canvas. But Jerry came out of this predicament in good shape and proceeded to turn around and score a victory. In fact, every Kent man won his match with Oberlin and the final score was 32 to 0. This was the second shut-out of the season for the Flashes. They also dumped Bowl- ing Green early in the season by a 32 to score. The only match that Kent lost all year was 14-11 d efeat by Ca. ;e Tech. Meanwhile, wrestlers pile up championships John Redfern. of Kent, is about to throw his Bowling Green opponent over on his back and work for a pin. John won the decision in this match along with all of his mates, who racked up a decisive team victory. This victory was especially significant in that it was the 150th wrestling vic- tory won by Kent State wrestlers coached by Joe Begala. 251 From left to right, row I. William R.

From the ole swimming hole to Olympic pools Man against the sea has been one of the oldest of all struggles waged by man- kind in his long existence. Once man overcame the fear of the sea which he had, he learned to enjoy himself in water. Next to running, this is the most natural of all sports. It requires no equipment, only water. But even swimming in these modern days has evolved into a big time sport. Thousands of dollars are spent in Olympic sized swimming pools. Fancy, spring-controlled diving boards are erected replacing the old time overhanging tree limb and muddy swimming hole. Swimming has become a science. It is still a struggle of man agamst the water, but the abilities of another man have been added to it. Kent 51 Wittenberg college 33 Wittenberg, O. Kent 40 Ohio Wesleyan 35 Delaware, O.

Many hours of work by many people have ended with the results between the covers of this Chestnut Burr. This book is the pictorial record of one school year. It attempts to portray the inside of college life as seen and interpretated by stu- dents. It attempts to show the relation of our days at KSU with the happenings of the world. But like anything in history, the success or failure of the venture is determined by what follows. And what the future holds for Kent . . . and for Ohio . . . and for America will be largely determined by students of today. It is up to us to decide in what kind of a world we want to live.
