As part of their work in history of Ohio, students explored the partial reconstruction of the state ' s first townatSchoenbrunn. Europe, Mexico was the destination of one Kent State party, which traveled to view historically significant sites. Hoyden Plonotarium was but one of the educational sites visited by Kent Staters on the University- sponsored New York trip. Canada, Mexico, U S. Become Travel-Study Areas Opening new vistas to its students, Kent State this year sponsored study tours to Europe, Mexico, Canada and several parts of the United States. Europe, a new travel area for the Uni- versity, was visited on a seven-week trip which included seven countries on its itin- erary. Ohio ' s 150th anniversary as a state was the occasion for a special Ohio history travel tour, while the Mexican travelers used that country ' s capital city as a base for short trips to important localities near- by. Offered by the geography department to men students, the Canadian field trip covered a large portion of the country. The tour was made by private car to cut the cost to the students taking it. SR ' X: ' ' r v Viewing directly and vividly the evolution of Ohio from its earliest times to the present, the history of Ohio program included a travel study tour to 66 of the 88 counties. Geology students traveled in Colorado, studying the terrain in the western part of the United States. ' i ' S?- A seven-week trip to Eur- ope was sponsored by the history department. It pro- moted understanding of the various cultures by obser- vation and contact with contemporary society and the relics of the past. £S 5«i ' 1 •V- -V i i TABLE OF CONTENTS j- jj 6 •_ 2 L THE UNIVERSITY 11 Administration 12 Buildings 18 Classes 23 IHE YEAR 30 Spring 32 Summer 58 Autumn 60 Winter 78 THE ACilVlTlES 94 Governmental 96 Musical 110 Speech and Drama 114 Military 120 Publications 122 Intramural Sports 127 THE ORGANlZAilONS 130 Honorary 132 Departmental 148 Religious 157 Social 167 THE SENIORS 216 Business Administration 218 Education 225 Liberal Arts 235 THE STAND OUTS 242 Duke of Kent 246 Queens 248 Chestnut Burr Salutes 254 THE ADVERTISERS 256 The University Back in the era of the Model A and the Model T, William S. Kent donated 50 acres of his northeastern Ohio land to the state for a normal school. Classwork started on the campus three years later, in two buildings provided by the state. The enrollment was 291. The 50 acres is now 250, and the nor- mal school has become Kent State Univer- sity. The enrollment tops the 5000 mark. It has been 44 years of progress at KSU. The comparative upstart among universi- ties has taken two world wars, a depression and a UN police action in her stride. Af- ter pulling out of the slump of the first World War, growing wildly during the 20 ' s, then slumping again with the depres- sion. KSU ' s upward climb hit another snag in 1941. Surviving the dearth of students during the duration, the University used its campus to train men for the armed forces. In 1945, Congress passed the G.I. Bill. Within a few months, the enrollment sky- rocketed to 4500. KSU was one of hun- dreds of schools struggling against faculty shortages, non-existent classrooms, and exhausted supplies. Proving its resource- fulness, KSU absorbed the shock and ad- justed to it. Since the war, many of the dreams of expansion, the hopes, aspirations, and de- sires have been fulfilled. The Union, the Arts Building, the Men ' s Physical Educa- tion Building and Stopher Hall have been added to the campus. Located at the focus of Ohio ' s most densely populated region, the KSU campus is within 50 miles of four million people. It .has grown rapidly, and seems destined to continue that growth, for the dreams and hopes that have made it the second largest state university in Ohio have not diminish- ed.

Hartzell Music - tm V h h__ Maurice Baum Philosophy Department Heads Teacher, administrator, psychologist — this is a KSU department head. The multitude of varied tasks facing each department head requires a man or woman with just such a multi-sided personality. As a teacher he acquaints his students with know- ledge concerning his particular field of study and gives them a greater desire to learn. As an administrator he decides departmental policy. Charting class hours, scheduling professors, and ordering enough textbooks are all part of his job. In the role of psychologist he becomes both coun- selor and peacemaker. He maintains a harmonious staff by soothing ruffled feelings. And he counsels confused students wisely, helping them to iron out their many problems. G. K. Schoepfle Physics Harold A.

Harry Wright (acting) Speech 17 The campus erupted, and out of the huge cavity created by bulldozers, steam shovels and working crews appeared the steel and stone shoots of KSU ' s new $2,000,000 women ' s dormitory. Fourth and largest on Kent State ' s roster of coed ' s residences, the building was begun during the first week of Fall quarter, 1953, and is slated for completion on Sep- tember 1, 1954. The three-story brick building is being constructed in an X shape so that two of the four wings will angle toward Terrace Drive. Plans for the dormitory show, in addition to the sleeping rooms which will each house two coeds, two recreation rooms and two dining rooms with a central kitchen. A food warehouse and a bakeshop to service the entire University are also in the blueprints. Designed to house 500 women, the building will have quarters for two head resident counselors, with special accommodations for four graduate assistants and six guests. Main entrance to the fireproof structure will face west on Terrace Drive at the corner of East Main St. Construction of the sleek modern building is the initial step in a program aimed at relieving the urgent student housing shortage at Kent State. President George A. Bowman points out that the project represents merely the first step in a long range program being undertaken to meet the increasing demand that is inevitable for colleges during the next ten years. New Dorm to House 500 Coeds ■ it PROPOSED GIRLS ' DORMITORY KENT STATE 18 STOPHER HALL, perched on a rise above the Commons, is built in an L shape, and accommodates 275 men. LIVING ROOM of the University, the Union is a center of almost constant activity. ENGLEMAN HALL, connected by a covered possagev oy to the Union, is a second home to 200 upperclass v omen. J f THE CLASSIC STONE pillars of Merrill Hall echo from within its walls the lonely wail of a music student ' s horn, the beat of the journalism tele- type, and the crescendo of the choir practicing. KENT HALL, ONE of the University ' s first permanent build- ings, is still one of its most used. In addition to class- rooms, the three-story brick structure contains the home economics rooms. Studio Theatre, radio station WKSU, photography labs, psychology clinic, and guidance testing. BEHIND THE IMPRESSIVE stone exterior of the Administra- tion Building may be found the many executive offices which keep Kent State moving ahead. Located here also Is Wills Gymnasium and the ever-popular Atrium meeting place. 20 MOST COEDS REMEMBER ivy-covered Moulton Hall, Freshmen dorm, as their first adventure in college living. HIGHER UP ON the hill is Lowry Hall, whose residents are nearly all Sophomores. Located at either side of the building ' s main entrance is one of its two cafeterias. BUILT WITH ENTRANCES on three different ground levels, McGilvrey houses the science labs and classrooms. 21 SOON TO BE replaced by a new University Training School, the present laboratory building for students majoring in education will be turned into a classroom hall. Its facilities will replace those of the tem- porary buildings on the back campus. FROM ITS lofty position high up on the hill, the University Health Center, rated as a 45-bed hospital, looks down upon the campus. The mo- dern three-story structure has a full- time staff of doctors and nurses. At Kent State University Students Learn to Live and to Make a Living From his first experiences in the classroom as a Freshman to the day, four years later, when he is awarded the long-sought sheepskin, a Kent State University student is learning to live and to make a living. By taking various courses offered by the University ' s 31 departments of study, the student becomes a college graduate well-trained to make his own way in the business world. Ranging from accounting to speech, library science to special education, the de- partments are staffed by men and women who have the latest facts and equipment at their disposal to give the student a thorough education in his chosen field. Both laboratory and lecture courses play important roles in the University ' s program to graduate alert and int3lligent citizens. Perhaps the most difficult and yet most important of all college courses is the unas- signed and ungraded one which is a requirement for success. It is learning to get along with people. Constant association with those from varying backgrounds in the classroom, dormitory and general campus life disciplines the student for post-school living. Differ- ing from most other University courses, this one is not taken for only one or two quarters. It is a four-year long program of maturing. 23 INDUSTRIAL ARTS STUDENTS spend a great deal of their class time learning to op- erate the power tools nec- essary to produce workshop projects that are well made. THE SCHOOL OF Journalism ' s new typography course room is located in the University Training School. TELEVISION PROGRAMS are tape-recorded by library science students for future use by other classes. 24 NOT AS INTERESTING pic- torially, perhaps, as the laboratory class, but just as important in a well-bal- anced college education are the mainly-lecture courses. STUDENT TEACHERS SUPPLEMENT the three R ' s with many other courses for youngsters in the University School. The University Offers A Variety of Classes To Meet Every Student ' s Needs LONG HOURS OVER the drawing board and careful atten- tion to detail are prerequisites to a degree in architecture. MODERN STUDIOS, GALLERY and class rooms are centered in the Arts Building, opened in 1951. IDENTIFYING WOOD SPECIMENS are Frosh biology stu- dents Lynn Shipman, Kay Davis and Chuck Huffmeister. 25 SPEED AND ACCURACY play equal roles in the sec- retarial science department ' s courses in typing. FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS in the Link trainer ore con- trolled from a gloss-paneled booth in aeronautics. DAN WEBER and Bob Lynes check three dimensional views of aerial photos through their stereoscopes. FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEMS of tailoring are met and solved by students enrolled in the tailoring course. EXACTLY MEASURED ingredients are important to Reita Williams and Joanne George in home ec class. 26 GEOLOGY STUDENTS Earl Warner, Jim Patterson, Jack Jones make up rock sample kits for area high schools. LISTENING TO RECORDINGS of the language they are learning helps students to acquire correct accents. EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY students do lab work on human and animal learning, and related topics. AT WORK IN the chemistry department ' s balance room are Lila Crites, Bill Kurlya and Bob Anderson. ERNEST MASTRIANN CHECKS one of the delicate pieces of equipment used in chemistry lab classes. 27 GIVING IQ TESTS is part of the Psychology clinic ' s service to both students and community residents. Service Keynotes Work of Clinics Human beings often need the help of others. This is proved daily in the work of the Univer- sity ' s clinics with both students and community residents. Equipped with treatment, observation, consul- tation and waiting rooms, the clinics are staffed by trained experts who are assisted by young men and women studying to enter the specific field. One of 17 clinics in the United States equipped to conduct a new type of hearing exam which measures the skin resistance, the Speech and Hearing clinic can now test children as young as one year old. Among the clinic ' s other projects is the Lost Cord club, members of which have had their larynx removed due to cancer. A program of self-help and mutual aid characterizes this part of the clinic ' s work. Schools, organizations and University classes are among the groups which benefit from the work of the Audio-Visual Aids department. With its modern equipment for recording radio and television programs, the bureau has built up a considerable library of worthwhile broadcasts to be lent out. AVA is also responsible for supplying films to the various groups and classes using them in their work. Directed by Dr. Dwight Arnold, the Guidance Testing bureau offers examinations to determine interest, aptitude and achievement. Although the department is maintained primarily for Kent State students, its services are often extended to high schools of the area by special arrangement. Another University service is the Psychology clinic, begun in 1947 as a guidance clinic for Kent Staters. It has now expanded to include voca- tional and personality adjustment counseling, and intelligence and personality testing for outsiders as well. No problem is too big or too small to warrant aid from the staff which is trained to help the maladjusted become happier people. 28 IN ADDITION to the reg- ular series of tests usually offered by guidance test- ing bureaus, KSU ' S de- partment has a complete occupations file with more than 400 pamph- lets available for use. JOHN R. MONTGOMERY, director of the Speech and Hearing clinic, assists Clay Culbertson as LaDonna Huey operates the testing device to determine if the proper breathing pattern is being used for speech. WORKING WITH an audi- tory training unit are Bar- bara Phillips, Christy Kolas, and Iris Zmeskal. The unit amplifies sound so that the patient may more easily dis- criminate the correct ones for speech. TAPES FOR TEACHING is the name given to Audio Visual Aids service of re- cording programs to be lent to schools. Dr. Roy Wen- ger, AVA coordinator, works with Jane Marmo, on the magnacording apparatus. t INSPECTING FILM FOR dam- age, student assistant Jan- ette White works at the splicer, a mechanism de- signed to join shorter lengths of film. Audio Visual Aids supplies films for all Univer- sity classes. 29 t ■■ .■■•}■ .SJt h ■.■ . KMf -  -i i r  .■ ■ -- ■• - -4r V i i,? ' . : .--. X, ' a -nt .;J«V .

When brightly colored leaves masked the green campus, more than 5000 men and women from all parts of the United States and from several foreign countries passed through the gateway of the University to begin school year 1953-54. Tne leaves faded into drabness as the first snows covered the ground. The first excitement of being back dimmed as the year progressed to a routine of classes, study and work. Highlighting the evenings and the weekends was the glitter of stu- dent life . . . dances, plays, parties and ath- letic events. Less brilliant, perhaps, but never to be forgotten were the smaller oc- currences that sparked campus life . . . the dormitory bull sessions, the minutes that accumulated quickly into hours of hub-sit- ting, the outstanding speakers or spontan- eous celebrations at the week ' s end. And in the background was the vital series of global events that kept Kent Staters wondering about this business of living. The reverberations of a mixed-up world crept into the gayest party when conversation shifted inevitably to the latest news events. It will be a year remembered by the his- torians who record the end of the Korean war, the battle against Communism and high taxes; by the sciences which will go on from discoveries made in medicine, physics and chemistry; by a past genera- tion ' who will recall it as the year in which they saw the culmination of hopes and fears; by college students, who watch- ed it and wondered what it would mean to them and for them in future years. •-o.r. .- ' •.1 .

DESPITE VIOLENT CASES of Spring fever, the passing parade of book-loaded students never faltered on its long march. 33 Press Photographers Jam Annual Short Course Engleman Hall echoed the booming voices of some of the nation ' s best photographers and editors during Spring recess when more than 250 convened here for the 12th Short Course in Press Photography. Directed by Prof. James A. Fosdick, the course program included noted color photographer Ivan Dimitri; Jacqueline Judge, editor of Modern Photography; Frank Schershel, of Life magazine; J. Winton Lemen, of Eastman Kodak and Arthur Rothstein, of Look magazine. MORE THAN 250 photographers from all ' ' -f -v !L-- ( I T «fcfi? over the country attended the sessions. EDWARD R.

ANOTHER BEAUTY SPOT was added to the campus when construction and landscaping on the Mall was finished. Going behind the scenes of a summer stock theatre with a fading actress for its plot, Curtain Up, the No Time For Classes production of 1953, faced the footlights late in April. Student written, acted, directed and produced, the musical ' s script by Rice Hershey was brought to life by a cast of 28. Barbara Curtis dahlinged her way through the role of a once-famous star in the show, which featured music and lyrics by Carl Oglesby. Bob Williams designed some of the most striking and imaginative sets ever seen in a NTFC presentation to back the three-act romantic comedy. Show stoppers of the evening were Marcia Hill and Robert Haxton, whose personality-plus rendition of a bounce number made encores inevitable. Cast as the college-student lovers were Jack Brooks and Angi Augustine. ' Curtain Up 1953 NTFC A SMUG GLARE from Marcia Hill greets the pleas of Barbara Curtis to Norman Whitney in a NTFC scene.

Ohio U Tops Meet Ohio University walked off with a trophy for best overall participation in the Pershing Rifles Drill meet, held at KSU during May. Kent State placed second with the University of Kentucky men following in third place. More than 500 cadets representing 13 colleges and universities took part in the two-day meet. As a special feature, the Civil War was refought when the musket lugging Ohio Union troops tangled with the Kentucky rebels in the mock battle. An informal dance climaxed the series of PR activities.

Lining the midway were more than 25 booths and concession stands, operated by campus organizations for the Stater Penny Fund. The fund, designed to supply servicemen overseas with copies of the Kent Stater, was $706 ahead when the last lights blinked out at midnight. A slave market, fortune teller, games of skill and chance, plus a miniature golf course were included in the huge variety of Carnival crowd-attracters. The crash of breaking glass, the swoosh of a pail of water, and the clink of coins were evidence of successes by the vendors and customers alike. Top money getters were Gamma Phi Beta sorority, the American Commons Club, and Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. Runners up in the three divisions were Delta Zeta, Moulton Hall and Delta Upsilon.

Campus Day Festivities Are Quarter ' s Highlight The usual 5 a.m. quiet in Kent was shattered May 23 by pounding hammers, banging doors, and the not- quite awake voices of Kent State University students as they began the biggest 24 hours on the KSU social calendar. It was Campus Day at Kent State. The dawn breakers annually conclude months of preparation to make sure it will be the biggest Campus Day ever. And it was. Delta Upsilon fraternity ' s K -Girl traditionally cuts the tape on festivities when she dabs white paint on the huge stone K embedded in the slope behind the library. At noon, following a processional along the gravel path that winds to the front campus, Peg Sidley was crowned May Queen. Late in the afternoon, Songfest invaded the slope before the Administration Building. Delta Tau Delta and Delta Upsilon topped the fraternity competition in an unprecedented tie, while Chi Omega took vocal- izing honors among sororities. When the last song leader had waved his group to a crescendo, the cam- pus became a silent shell. It teemed again at 9 p.m. for an all University dance, the clima.x to Campus Day.

Substituting fiat bottomed skiffs for the pol- ished keels of the Hudson, Rowboat Regatta had pretties parading, rowers racing and muscles mov- ing before it became another page of University history. Brunette Sue Tarbert, sponsored by Sigma Nu fraternity, was selected from a field of eight final- ists to reign as Regatta queen. Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, with Newman Club, and Twin Lakes rowed their ways to top places in the first three competitive divisions, while Delta Zeta outdistanced Chi Omega in a run-off for sorority honors. It was the first year that Phi Gamma Theta opened its tug-of-war to coeds. Chi Omega mem- bers heaved their sorority to trophy ground by treating opposing women ' s groups to free mud packs during the battle. The Delta Tau Delta tug team won the fraternity cup for the third con- secutive year. Sponsored by the Kent Stater, Regatta rang down the curtain on Spring quarter all-University social activities.

Close Margins Bring Losing Season Playing one of the toughest schedules in Kent State history, Matt Resick ' s baseball squad turned in a creditable season record of seven victories against nine defeats. Four of these setbacks were by one-run margins. The Golden Flashes opened their season with a double victory over Potomac State College, and then dropped three consecutive heartbreakers to Toledo, Ashland, and Western Reserve. After knocking out Mount Union ' s squad, Resick ' s nine upset highly touted Cincinnati twice by decisive margms. A split with Marshall College in a twin bill was then followed by double setbacks at the hands of Ohio University and Western Michigan, top teams in the Mid-American Conference. Akron University blanked the Golden Flash nine 1-0 in one of the best contests of the ball season. Kent finished off their campaign by beat- ing Bowling Green. KSU ' s record put them in fourth place when Mid-American standings were tallied.

Coach Karl Chesnutt was pleased with the brand of tennis played by his boys, particularly in view of the overall inexperience with which the netters started off the 1953 season. Only Tom Meinhaidt and Art DeGenaro, numbers one and two men respectively, had suitable background experience for the type of schedule played by Kent State netters. The team defeated Fenn College, but lost matches to Ohio U., Western Reserve, Bowling Green, Wayne, and twice to Akron U. They tied for the last place in the Mid-American Spring sports carnival at Western Michigan College. The Golden Flashes played a number of ex- cellent matches throughout the season, but their more experienced opponents eventually wore down Kent ' s competitors. Chesnutt will have his three top performers back for the 1954 campaign in addition to several promising newcomers to the varsity. The Big Three of the veterans are Meinhardt, DeGenaro and Harris Brown. The latter developed rapidly during the 53 tennis campaign.

Weeping ' ' Coach Begala Had Reasons To Weep KENT ' S HAL MAYHEW, behind, and Bill Hall execute perfect timing as they exchange the baton in a relay race against Akron University. The final dual track meet of the season ended with Akron thinclads out- distancing the Flashes by a 66-2 3 to 60-1 3 margin. Weeping Joe Begala certainly had grounds to shed tears when he was greeted by a small turnout of inexperienced track men last Spring. Before the season got started, Begala made the remark that he would be lucky to win a meet. But his men tried hard, learned well, and man- aged to win two of seven dual meets. They defeated John Carroll in the season opener, then lost to Bowling Green, and Baldwin Wallace College. The Golden Flashes trimmed Case Tech, but lost the final three meets to Western Reserve, Ohio U., and Akron University. Participating in the Mid-American Confer- ence Spring Sports carnival at Kalamazoo, Kent ' s thin-clads finished in sixth place. Don Phelps won the only individual honors when he placed third in the pole vault competitions. Captain Bob Hall, a distance runner, and hurdler Hal Mayhew, pole vaulter Bob Phelps and sprinter Dick Bartfay were consistent point getters all year. Only Hall was graduated. Thus, Begala plans to center his 1954 team around these boys in an effort to improve upon Kent State ' s track fortunes. His greener boys learned the ropes well, indicating that a brighter outlook is in store for the Flashes. POLE VAULTER BOB Phelps appears to be dangling in mid air as he scales the highest bar to win top honors in a meet against Case Tech. Kent trackmen won the contest. 55 DIGGING FROM THEIR starting places are three Kent State and two Bowling Green U. sprinters.

Providing bright splotches of color against a gloomy landscape were lavish displays, the creations of fraternities, sororities, clubs and dormitories to decorate their front lawns. Dwarfing those produced in former years both in size and ingenuity, the house decorations included gigantic mechanically operated figures, set off by towering back drops. By game time these once impressive displays had shriveled to rain-soaked masses of paper mache and crepe paper. Another bright spot in the dismal weathered day was the Golden Flashes 27 to 7 defeat of an invading Marshall College grid squad. Seeking shelter under blankets, umbrellas and newspapers, the stadium crowd saw Ann Meinzen, blond Canton Junior, crowned Home- coming queen for 1953 by the University social chairman, Roy Berko. Dry once again. Homecoming celebrators shed their rainproof attire for more festive apparel before flocking to the dance in the MPE gym. Claude Thornhill ' s orchestra with vocalist, Paula Martin, made music for the thousands of dancing couples that crammed the gymnasium floor. Queen Ann, with her two attendants, Marilyn Kapcar and Gloria Ranalli, was intro- duced during intermission. The music stopped. The din of the dancing crowd ceased while she handed out the trophies for top-ranking house decorations. The short silence was rent with cheers, shrieks and applause as representatives of the winning organizations leaped up to the band stand to grasp the rewards for long hours of planning and work. When the last light blinked out on Homecoming, 1953, the day became a wet but wonderful event to be remembered by alums and undergraduates alike. 62 «s 9 • 9 9 THE BAND PLAYED on while the majorettes whooped it up.

A capacity crowd of alumni and students jammed the huge floor for the dance. WHILE MOST danced, some of the Homecoming cele- brators just came to listen and watch the final events of the 1953 festivities. The gymnasium bal- cony crowd had a bird ' s-eye view of dancers and band. AT INTERMISSION, Queen Ann Meinzen and her at- tendants, Marilyn Kapcar and Gloria Ranalli, were presented. Awards for winning house decoration went to the four top Greek and independent organizations. 5 THE BUNNY HOP made its initial appearance at All-Greek when the long line of couples began to tap out its informal beat. Held again this year in Meyers Lake Ballroom, the Ail-Greek was the first strictly-formal event of the season. All active members of fraternities and sororities were guests of Alpha Phi. Alpha Phi Is Host For All -Greek The constant competition between Greek organizations was temporarily pushed into the background on December 4 when members of KSU ' s 21 fraternities and sororities donned the latest in formal attire to be guests of Alpha Phi at the annual All-Greek. Brightly-hued banners bearing the Greek letters and crests of each organization dotted the dimly-lit circle of tables at Meyers Lake Ballroom in Canton for the dance. The polished floor reflected a rainbow of frothy gowns against the somberness of the men ' s tuxedos as the crowd swayed to the music of Charlie Pickens and his orchestra. At intermission, only the bubbling of the colorful fountain at one end of the huge dance floor broke the silence as Alpha Phi sorority presented its Fall pledge class. Each debuting coed walked across the long floor, received a single red rose from Phi social chairman Mary Lou Hartle, then stepped into the semi-circle formed by her sisters. After a serenade by Sigma Nu, the sorority ' s brother fraternity, the dancing continued until 1 a.m. Then, with a flurry of evening wraps, topcoats and shouted good nights, the crowd departed. 66 SOMBER TUXEDOS were a perfect background for the rain- bow of frothy gowns that was reflected on the dance floor.

Four Army Minutes, Sawchik Got In Way It was the annual football banquet in the Union, honoring the 1953 Golden Flash football team. Coach Trevor J. Rees was called upon to address those in attendance. Rees congratulated his players, assistant coaches and all others who helped make the season the most successful since he has be en at Kent State. At the conclusion of his talk Rees said; Only four Army minutes and Sawchik prevented us from having an undefeated season. He was referring to Fort Belvoir and Lou Sawchik, Ohio University end. Belvoir edged the Golden Flashes 7-6 by scoring a touchdown and converting the extra point with less than four minutes remaining in the game. Sawchik made a number of spectaculer and key catches which en- abled Ohio U to come from behind and defeat Kent 40-21. It was Kent ' s only Mid-American Confer- ence setback in four games while the season rec- ord stood at seven victories in nine games. The Golden Flashes opened with a 20-10 victory over Waynesburg, then lost to Fort Belvoir. Western Reserve was a 27-0 victim and Baldwin-Wallace fell 14-13 in a thriller. After the Golden Flashes lost to Ohio U, they finished strongly with four straight victories over Marshall 27-7, Bowling Green 41-7, Akron 54-19 and Western Michigan 40-0. The team wrote several new records into the books by gaining 2852 yards rushing and 3419 yards net, and also set a new scoring mark of 250 points.

Standing: Dick Kotis, Bud Haerr and Dick Paskert. Backslaps, Headaches — He s A Coach It is the player who takes the lumps and bruises in this game of football, but it is the coach who receives all the headaches. For every hour the players spend on the field, the coach is spending many more not only on the field, but also in his office, in his study at home, at conferences and in the movie projecting room. Regardless of the player ' s ability, the coach must first set up the program and mastermind the show. He is a teacher and a learner. He teaches the players his offense and defense, and learns by correcting the things which fail to pan out as he had planned. It is the coach who receives the ultimate glory of a successful football game, but it is also he who takes the brunt of criticism from the spectator, newsman and downtown quarterback when his boys lose a ball game. But coaching a football team is far from a one-man performance. The head man needs assistance, and modern football calls for plenty of it in order to keep up with the game. Working for Kent State as the team that guided a team to a brilliant season were Trevor J. Rees, head coach and athletic director; Frank X. Lauterbur, line coach; Clarence R. Haerr, backfield; Donald McCafferty, ends; and Richard Kotis and Richard Paskert, Freshman coaches.

But Kent State ignored this theory during the 1952 season by dis- playing both on the gridiron. As the Golden Flashes were re- writing the record books with their team performance, nine players were operating so well at their respective positions that they were awarded places on all-Ohio and all-Mid- American Conference teams at the conclusion of the season. Receiving top honors were Fullback Jim Cullom and Tackle Al Kilgore, three-year varsity veterans who were named to first teams of both conference and all-state selections. Cullom holds the school ' s all-time rushing record of 822 yards, set in 1952. Captain Dick Raidel received second team conference honors and all-Ohio mention as a tackle. Fullback Lou Mariano also was recognized on the M-A ' s second team. End Sonji Herz- berg, Guard Dick Tate and Halfback Mike Norcia were given honorable mention on both squads.

THE GROUND crews worked double time to keep snowy walks from becoming slippery danger spots. AND old t WHO COULD avoid the temptation of a good fashioned snowball fight? Not these two! HOT COFFEE at the Hub became even more popular with cold Kentonians who flocked to the Union. 76 Events and Traditions Warmed Snowy Days KNEE SOX versus the traditional bobbies was the debate for cold but fashion-conscious coeds. A MOST EXACTING ARTIST, the heavy snows of Winter transformed the campus into a sparkling white landscape. ON COLD evenings, the gang was content to stay at home in front of the fireplace in- stead of venturing out Into the violent blasts of Winter. 77 NOTED PERFORMERS appearing in Akron clubs were booked by the Union staff to present a series of programs at KSU. The Lancers Quartet (left) were the first recording stars to perform during the series. RELIGIOUS GROUPS on campus worked together to sponsor KSU ' s third Religious Emphasis Week program.

ONE OF AMERICA ' S outstanding public figures, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt told her Kent State audience that cooperation between nations is dependent on respect and understanding among individuals of those countries. Guests, Programs Make Outstanding Term An interesting and varied series of minor events kept Winter quarter from becoming what is usu- ally KSU ' s dullest three months, activity-wise. Among the prominent guests brought to the campus was Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, who lectured to an overflow audience in the MPE auditorium. Other outstanding visitors included Joseph Szigiti, the violinist; the Sauter-Finegan band, with Vaughn Monroe; and the Lancers Quartet. On a local level, the quarter was dotted with the traditional activities of Religious Emphasis Week, the Duke of Kent contest, and the Faculty Art show. With the campaign for Miss Kent State came an avalanche of publicity in the form of posters, tags, serenades by sponsoring sororities, slogan-bearing cigarettes and lollipops. JOSEPH SZIGITI, noted Hungarian violinist, performed at KSU. His violin, dated 1701, is one of the most famous instruments created by Gaurnerius of Italy. UNVEILING THE work of the art department staff, the annual Faculty Art show featured weaving, jewel- ry design, and photography in addition to paintings. 79 MORE THAN 2500 Kent Staters jammed Wills Gym to hear the Sauter-Finegan aggregation with Vaughn Monroe, the Doodlers, Sally Sweetland and Andy Rob- erts on the vocal numbers. REPLACING THE defunct Top Hop, the Souter-Finegan concert turned out to be three and a half hours of the tops in modern musical entertainment.

Aided and abetted by Vaughn Monroe, Sally Sweet- land and Andy Roberts on the vocals, Messrs. Sauter and Finegan put the skids on the theory held by some that modern music is going to the dogs. What was sup- posed to have been a half-hour radio show followed by a two-hour concert ended up as one of the best pro- grams to hit KSU in years. Scheduled by the University Social committee as a substitute for the defunct Top Hop, the show was one of the series of Sauter-Finegan programs taped at col- leges and universities for later broadcast over a na- tional network. Saluting Kent State as one of Ohio ' s leading universities, the program featured a special arrangement of the KSU Alma Mater and fight song. Marcia Hill, 21-year-old speech major from Dayton, was crowned Miss Kent State during the evening, after winning one of the closest elections in recent years. SURROUNDED BY his admirers, Vaughn Monroe signs autographs after the Sauter-Finegan concert. DURING THE broadcast portion of the evening, CBS engineers set up equipment to tape the show.

A total of 26 organizations entered skits in the variety show. Alpha Xi Delta topped the eight sorority en- tries which faced the footlights on opening night. Engleman Hall ' s They Died With Their Bucks On, copped first place among independent wom- en ' s skits, while Stopher Hall, participating in the independent men and coed division, garnered top honors with Snow-Use. Chalking up its second consecutive Pork Barrel win, Delta Upsilon outdistanced 11 other fraterni- ties with a riotous take-off on The Red Shoes, entitled The Chartruse Sneakers. Second places went to Alpha Phi sorority, Moulton Hall, KSU Vets, and to a fraternity tie between Theta Chi and Sigma Nu.

Honorary Cadet Colonel Estelle and her attendants were chosen by vote of all men enrolled in the ROTC. Military Ball, 1954, will long be remembered in KSU annals as the dance that almost wasn ' t. Scheduled for March 5, the traditional ROTC sponsored event was to feature the music of Louie Prima. A week before the big night, Prima jumped his contract, throwing chairmen of the event into a quandary. But the day was saved when Jerry Wald and his orchestra were contracted to replace Prima.

Golden Flashes Play Spoilers Role Don Arch The 1953-54 Golden Flash basketballers faced one of the toughest schedules in the his- tory of the University. Such noted quintets as John Carroll, Bowling Green, Miami, Toledo, Xavier and Marshall got in their punches at the outmanned Flash five. Although the KSU cagers were not able to turn in an impressive record, the season produced a number of changes in mood. Ken Eshelman ' s death early in the season stunned the student body and those interested in the fortunes of KSU. The mood changed, however, when Bud Haerr ' s lads upset such highly rated teams as Carroll, Marshall and Miami. The students rejoiced over the record- breaking 100-79 win over Wittenberg. Then came an angry mood when several cagers were ruled ineligible because of a hasty rule inter- pretation. Alternating periods of depression when the team dropped close games to teams that were heavy favorites followed. One of the most heartening moments of the season came in the second Akron U. game when Dan Potopsky scored 39 points, establishing a new all-time high for scoring in one game. Dan had some bad nights through the season but in the Good- year gym he proved the potential brought from his high school in Independence where he was an All-Ohio player. As Dan Looks ahead, Kyle Worrall, Leo Kolk, John Hamilton and John Pohlod look back on their last collegiate basketball year. Captain of the 1953- ' 54 cagers, Worrall was a consistent scorer and a leading floor man. Finishing second in the team scoring race, he was respon- sible for the upsets that were achieved as he led a band of eager Sophomores in and out of heated battles. Pohlod, just returned to KSU from a two-year term in the Navy, turned in a good job each time he was called on to uncork his right arm. He and Kyle caused the opposi- tion many lapses in heart beat as they banged away their one-hand push shots. The eight-thirteen record may not show it, but the team made a better showing than was expected. Coach Haerr is encouraged by the manner in which his Sophomores performed. KEN ESHELMAN, life during the 19-year-old Sophomore, lost his 1953-54 basketball season. 87 A TOLEDO player delivers a cross-body block on Bill Burke as another seems to hold bock any interference from other players in the first of two losses to TU.

Although he had not performed from the boards since his high school days at Canton McKinley, Mariano put in long hours of practice under the guidance of his swim- ming mentor. Lou showed signs of progress at once, and as the season moved along, be- came quite skilled, learning a host of differ- ent dives, including the jack knife he is dem- onstrating at right. Kent State ' s top point winners this year, however, were Captain Bob Smith and Joe Kempf, both free stylers. Bob hit the local spotlight when he set the 100-yard free style record for the MPE pool. He swam the distance in 55.1 seconds as the Golden Flashes were losing a 45-39 meet to Wooster. Smith also holds the 50-yard free style record of 24.2 seconds, established last season. Reconstruction Veteran swimmer Nick Bosworth, right, kicks up a splash as he shoves off from the starting line in the individual medley event. The opponent at the left is unidentified. A graduate of Akron Buchtel High school, Bos- worth has been one of Coach Hoover ' s most reliable men the past three seasons. Although Kent State won only three of 12 dual meets this year, Nick came through with more than his share of points. Kent defeated Witten- berg, Cincinnati and Fenn while losing to Carnegie Tech and Case Tech in the first five contests. But then the Golden Flashes drop- ped seven in a row to Slippery Rock Teach- ers, Miami, Wooster, Oberlin, Bowling Green, Kenyon and Ohio University. They were to have competed in the Mid-American meet after the year-book went to press. Slumping Close Kent State ' s Bill Keefe and Dave Hamble- ton, nearest camera, stretch far out over the water as they leap from their starting posi- tions in the 440-yard free style event against Wooster College in the MPE pool. Although this was his poorest season since he took over the Kent swimming team, Coach Bill Hoover was forced to rebuild from an array of inex- perienced candidates. Their record was un- impressive, but the squad as a whole showed high promise for future years. 1954 SWIMMING TEAM: First row: Bill Mottice, Jack Slingloff, Co-Captains Bob Smith and Ted Dickey, Don Winters and Lou Mariano.

Begala Celebrates 25th Anniversary Kent State ' s grand old man of athletics, Joe Begala, this year guided his wrestlers to an- other brilliant season and in so doing, wrote the final chapter in the first quarter century of the sport at KSU. Long known as weeping Joe, Begala this season had just cause to weep at the outset of the campaign. Enlistments and disenrollments dimmed Begala ' s outlook for successful year. But the tactful mentor undertook a rebuilding program and through his guidance and coach- ing technique, the Golden Flashes responded by winning eight of 10 dual matches and finishing second in the Mid-American conference cham- pionships. Ian McEwan completed his third straight un- defeated season, and he and Jack Love swept to individual victories in the M-A championships. In dual competition, the matmen scored lop- sided wins over Cleveland Central YMCA, Wes- tern Reserve, Marshall, Baldwin-Wallace, In- diana State Teachers, Miami, Bowling Green and Ohio U. They lost to Case and Toledo, the Mid-American champion. THE REFEREE looks for a pin against Indiana State Teachers ' , who lost to Kent State, 20-10. KSU ' S IAN McEwan reaches over the top for a better hold on his Indiana State Teachers ' foe. 93 The Activities It takes all kinds of people to make up the world and all types of backgrounds to make these people what they are. A college student who graduates after just going to classes and nothing more is in- sufficiently trained to adjust to the outside world. To expand his background of know- ledge and experience, and to live with his neighbors, the college student takes part in a wide variety of extracurricular activities. His choice of activities may be made on the basis of adding to his major field of in- terest or just because he enjoys that par- ticular activity. A student may choose to enter campus politics as experience in furthering a polit- ical career. Through membership in one of the campus political parties, he may be elected to a position in one of the University student governing bodies. Musical interests are satisfied by work with the Twin Bands, the orchestra or one of the choral groups. Dorm life affords an opportunity for the student in living with others and adding to the enjoyment of go- ing to college. The University ' s student publications offer a rewarding opportunity to learn through experience for students interested in writing, photography and advertising. Thespians may play in the University Theatre while others find pleasure in work- ing behind the scenes. The Student Foren- sic Association gives voice to aspiring ora- tors. Sports, the University radio station and the military all give each student member that intangible something that is expected of college graduates, but not found in text- books. Governmental Activities UNIVERSITY POLICE: man, Sgt. Clem G. First row: Chief Earl B. Cole- Rine, Roy Ziegler, Jim Rogers, Carl Lindegarde, Carl Conaway. Second row: Anthony Porcase, Allen B. Boston, Richard Dey, C. W. Caris. University Police and Traffic Court With the growth of the University, the campus poHce force has also expanded to meet its in- creased duties. When the University was a college, the police force had only minor duties. Now on duty 24 hours a day, the foi ' ce must keep campus traffic moving without tieups, pro- tect University property and help students in trouble. They are responsible for handing out the yel- low traffic tickets so familiar to violators of the restricted parking area rulings. The Student Traf- fic Court, a subordinate of the police department, takes over where the officers leave off in violation cases. The members of the board hear cases, then decide verdicts and penalties. As a safety precaution, the police officers also register cars driven on campus and parked in University lots. The men also must plan parking space for visitors ' cars during conventions held at KSU. 96 KSU TRAFFIC COURT: Arnold Sharkey, recorder; Bob Oana, Ron Jyurovat, chief justice; Rosemary Yallech, STUDENT COUNCIL: First row: Carl Titgemeier, Gary Banas, Estelle Gage, William Farling, Solly Andrus, Murray Hallet and Duane Snyder.

Third row: Dom Fal- lon, Jerry Dougher, Larry Fisher, Jack Gattozzi, John Alexy, Chuck Miller, Marion Moser and Joe Franko. Student Council With a newly-adopted constitution to regulate its procedure, Student Council entered another year of acting as the judicial, legislative and exec- utive branches of Kent State government. The new constitution, based on the body of laws of the United States, was okayed by a 937-72 student vote during Spring quarter. Fall began with a bang when traffic court be- came the target for a barrage of Stater comment. When the smoke had cleared, SC went to work on student elections, the book exchange and set- ting up the judiciary high court, provided for by the new constitution to hear student complaints. For Student Council representatives there is al- ways work to be done, always gripes and criti- cisms to combat, but the men and women continue on as the backbone of campus govern- ment. SC OFFICERS: Joan Webster, president; Lore Wicke, Sec; Dick Johnson, Treas.; Andy Branik, Vice Pres. 97 NU-K OFFICERS: Art Getz, Treas.; Ernie Pope, V.P.; Marilyn Kapcar, Sec.; Jim Witzberger, chairman. A need for more than one political party on the Kent State campus brought Nu-K into existence five years ago. Established as a separate group in 1949, Nu-K had been part of the one-party system under the old Blue Star political organization. It is presently composed of three sororities and seven fraternities. Serving on the executive committee are two repre- sentatives from each member-organization. The party ' s platform expresses the belief that politics is everyone ' s job and not for a privileged few. To give unaffiliated students a voice in politics, Nu-K has also chosen candidates from outside the party ranks. A screening process is used to select the most capable students as Nu-K standard bearers. Anyone interested in running for a student government posi- tion is welcomed into the Nu-K caucus. Strongly urging everyone to take advantage of their right to cast a ballot, Nu-K holds the interest of its constituents by sponsoring annual rallies. Everyone A Voter Is Nu-K s Goal NU-K: First row: Jerry Hayes, Elaine Kovalchik, Ttialia Hergenroeder, Joan Webster and Carl Titgemeier. Second row: Bill Longshore, Donald Mickey, Jim Erskino and Joe Franko. 98 BLUE AND GOLD delegates: First row.- June Dickinson, Ginny Coison, Jo Buckey and Lore Wicke. Second row: Mike Von Dress, Herb Secger, Dick Daye, Betty Cressman, Jack Gattozzi and Jim Kohn. B-G Landslides In Fall Elections Whether referred to as better government or B-G, the Blue and Gold political party has proved to be a dominant force on the campus governmental scene. In 1936, KSU ' s first political party was formed and went unrivaled until the appearance of an all Greek organization in 1940. A third group of politicians, the Blue-Star party, began in 1946. The party was split in 1949 when a small band of member organizations broke away after a ballot box-stuffing scandal. It was this smaller group that has grown into the present Blue and Gold. Again this Fall, Blue and Gold showed its influence in political circles by copping 27 of the 35 posts open in the all-University elections. It was the biggest politi- cal landslide in campus history. Included as members of the party are Alpha Epsilon Pi, Alpha Tau Omega, Sigma Nu, Kappa Sigma and Theta Chi fraternities. Alpha Phi, Chi Omega, Delta Zeta and Gamma Phi Beta are the sororities which hold membership in Blue and Gold. B-G OFFICERS: Ro y Berko, Treas.; Bob Smith, pres- ident; LaDonna Huey, Sec; and Myron Grossman, V. P. 99 AWS REPRESENTATIVES: First row: Rita Gattozzi, Marilyn Lamont, Eleanor Harris, Mrs. Margaret Swanson, dean of women; Mary Ann Bamberger, Marcia Hill and Josie Dusek. Second row: Charlotte Frolo, Dolores Harvey, Pat Barber, Betty Ann Schmid, Des Harris and Nancy Wilson. AWS delegates are popularly-elected each year. AWS Modifies Coeds Regulations AWS OFFICERS: Seated: Charlotte Frolo, Sec.; Rita Gat- tozzi, Pres.; Betty Ann Schmid, first Vice Pres.; Marilyn Lamont, Treas.; and Nancy Wilson, second vice president. Keeping up with the changing times, the Asso- ciation of Women Students this year modified and revised regulations governing KSU coeds. In addition to increasing the number of late permits granted to women students, restrictions on overnight and week-end permits were changed to enable the coeds ' parents to decide what type of permissions their daughter should have. Rules on campuses were also liberalized. The 19 representatives to AWS include dele- gates from each class, dorm and campus organ- ization. The group works to adjust regulations to protect the coed ' s best interests while at the same time allowing her the maximum of freedom. Each women student is given the opportunity to voice her opinions on any rules governing her conduct. In conjunction with the dean of women ' s office, AWS this year issued the Kent Coed, a booklet listing all the regulations for women at KSU. AWS, in addition to its governing duties, spon- sors the annual Big-Little Sister program, honors Senior women at the Spring banquet and co- sponsors Pork Barrel with M.S. A. 100 A search for a new name, begun by Men ' s Union this year, resulted in a switch of titles to Men Stu- dents ' Association during Winter quarter. Execu- tive committee members made the change because they felt the group was too often confused with the Union building. Organized in 1922, the Association was de- signed to serve the comparatively few male stu- dents at Kent State Normal School. Throughout the School ' s development into a University, the group has promoted, not only the welfare, but also the interests of Kent men through activities to give them a full college life. At one time, MSA sponsored a total of 23 programs including intramural sports, news pub- lications and amateur nights. Although its respon- sibilities were eventually redistributed to specific departments, MSA still co-sponsors the successor to earlier amateur nights. Pork Barrel, with AWS. With all male students automatically gaining membership upon registration, MSA is ruled by a popularly-elected executive committee consisting of representatives from each class. SERVING AS officers of MSA are Herb Ryan, president; Dean Raymond Manchester, advisor. Standing: Jim Glynn, Vice Pres.; Ben McGinnis, Asst. dean of men; Bob Evans, secretary; and Dick Granger, treasurer. Union Becomes MSA In Name Switch MSA EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE: First rov : Don Day, Bob Drath, Art Getz, Jerry Dougher, Jerry Hayes, Neil Helman, Stan Brown.

Third row: Russ Webb, George Baggott, Ron Jackson, Dick Kistler and Don Pritchard. L S. A. An all-out campaign to increase its member- ship to a record high was the goal for Independent Students Association this year. Organized to strengthen the voice of the unaf- filiated man and coed in campus affairs, ISA also fulfills the obligations of expanding the social life available to independents. Hayrides, parties and dances are sponsored by the group during the year. Members also enter all campus competitions including Pork Barrel and Campus Day songfest, participating in the inde- pendent division. Newcomers to the group become official mem- bers at the annual activation dinner. Before joining the Association, interested students are en- tertained at coke parties sponsored during the early weeks of each quarter. Upon deciding to pledge, the recruits don their blue and gold rib- bons, then prepare to present a program for the active members. I ISA OFFICERS: Dick Hartzell, president; Marjorie Young, JoAnn Letoha, Phil Casto and Bonnie Crawford. 102 OFFICERS ARE: Edward Hyman, vice president; Es- telle Gage, president; and Gerry Duke, secretary. Booster Club True to their name, members of the Booster Club spend the majority of their time giving that extra push to KSU ' s campus programs. Buying athletic equipment, providing funds for scholarships to athletes, and purchasing trophies are among the club ' s activities. The organization also sponsors a banquet annually for the presi- dents of all campus organizations, provides uni- forms for the cheerleaders, and cooperates v ith the dow ntown Booster club ' s program. Twirp night was the Booster ' s biggest Fall event. During that same quarter, the group helped boost the band along on its fund-raising drive to travel to Kalamazoo, and aided cheerleaders with pep rallies. Established last year, the Varsity Ball is an all- University Booster dance during Spring quarter. A king and queen, chosen by a vote of all students attending the Ball, reign over festivities. Membership is open to all undergraduates. BOOSTER CLUB representatives: First rov : Mimi Einhouse, Nora Granat, Jo Ann Letoha, Jo Ann Smitti and Ginnie Madden. Second row: Ralph Dornbrock, Dick Kistler, Natalie DeBlosio, Marilyn Husak, Carol Lombacher, Dick Edwards and David Kennard. Representatives act as an advisory committee for Booster club activities. 103 FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS: Larry Fisher, president; Marilyn Vargo, vice president; Marilyn Bauer, sec- retary; and Mel Bram, treasurer. These newcomers to campus government are ready and eager to serve. SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS: John Alexy, president; Kirk Rixson, vice president; Sally Mantle, secre- tary; and Corol Evans, treasurer. As Sophomores they have learned the ins and outs of leadership. Class Officers JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Joyce Israel, treasurer; Doris Eggert, secretary; Roy Berko, vice president and Dominic Fallon, president. Their biggest job this year will be planning the Junior-Senior Prom. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Marion Moser, president; Kay Georgelis, secretary and Robert McFerren, treas- urer. As leaders of the graduating class, the trio will head all of the activities of Senior Week, 1954. Dormitory Activities Moulton Hall is tradition personified. The very first home of Freshman women, this dormitory is the scene for all the laughs, tears, and friendships that a new coed encounters in her first experiences with college life. The glow of warm enthusiasm that characterizes a Fresh- man lights up the halls of Moulton, making it vitally alive. There is no chance for mental frustration among the coeds, for the dorm has the finest in Freshman counselors, twelve upperclassmen who cure anything from homesickness to lovesickness, solve algebra equations, figure schedules, and cut hair. And if further advice is sought. Miss Anna Mae Riggle, head resident, can be depended on. Abiding by the regulations set by the house council and officers, which are elected from the dorm, Moulton women are self-governing. They establish their own rules and discipline, and their success in the past has illustrated the effectiveness of this procedure. This fellowship of 250 women is an experience of a lifetime, and an important part of being a Freshman. Long after classroom lectures have been forgotten, memories of dormitory bull sessions, fire drills, practical jokes, and parties will remain alive. BRIDGE IN the smoker is a favorite Moulton Hall relaxation.

THERE IS nothing like a relaxing chatter session, accord- ing to Lowry coeds (clockwise, above) Alice Mad- den, Maria Moats, Marilyn Klohn and Janet Reed. Tradition Sparks Life At Lowry MAKING THEMSELVES AT HOME are Lowryites Judy Marko, Pat Rupp, Mary Shultz and Linda Byers. Lowry Hall has the distinction of being the oldest dormitory on Kent State ' s campus. A Sophomore women ' s residence, it houses 189. Rich in tradition, the dormitory activities program includes an annual open-house during Fall quarter, awards to those coeds with the best-kept rooms, and caroling at Christmas time. Another Christ- mas tradition is the annual competition between corridors for the most original Yuletide decorations. Lowry also has two cafeterias which accommodate both Lowry and Moulton coeds and some off-campus students. The cafeterias are located on the first floor of the building with the two remaining floors for living quarters. Lowry coeds break the monotony of assignments with corridor parties, group parties and dances. One of the biggest events of the year is the traditional Winter formal. Last Spring, Lowry Hall won the award for having the highest point average of all the dorms on campus. They hope to keep this award for the coming years, and add it to their growing list of traditions. 106 Stopher Hall, the men ' s dormitory on campus, can boast of having the largest group of male students in one organization. Living at Stopher is an experience a Stopher man never forgets. All four classes are repre- sented in the dormitory. Whenever a resident is having some kind of trouble, he can usually call on any one of the 274 men for help. The prerequi- sites for becoming a Stopher man are: 1. Never have any neckties of your own. 2. Be susceptible for blind dates. 3. Be able to sleep through a blitz. The dorm, established in 1949, is run similar to that of a democratic government. Each of the seven corridors in the dormitory chooses three representatives from their corridor for the house council meetings held each week. This meeting is presided over by a president elected at the begin- ning of each school year. All the business of the dormitory is transacted by council delegates. Stopher Hall also offers many academic, social, and recreational functions th roughout the school year. Each quarter the corridors compete for the academic trophy which goes to the corridor with the highest point average. Dances and all types of sports contests are also held during the year. KNIFE IN HAND, Stopherile Dave Humason gives a few lessons in his favorite hobby, woodcarving. His attentive pupils are Herb Oestreich and Tom Pittenger, also residents of the men ' s dormitory. Stopher houses a total of 274 KSU men students. 274 Stopher Men Are A Lot Of Men STOPHER HALL HOUSE COUNCIL: First rov : Bruce Snyder, Phil Loparo, Lee Featheringham, Pat Camerino, Bill Eck, Carl Tremmel, John McBride, Joe Stiener, James Williams and Bob Evans.

Student council representative; Mrs. Mary McCamp- bell, head resident; Joy Wheeler, president; Mary Lou Williams, social chairman; Joanne Adrian, secretary; and Georgine Jaros, fire warden. 237 Coeds Reside in KSU ' s Newest Come September, 1954, Engleman Hall may lose its place as the newest women ' s dorm on campus, but it won ' t lose its place as a grande hotel for the 237 women now living there. The upperclassmen dorm, Engleman is set apart from the dormitory circle, and resembles more an exclusive apartment house than a residence hall. The low-ceilinged entrance way with its mirrored wall and dim light- ing is reminiscent of a medieval castle — with a modern touch. The main floor lounge features a television set and gleaming grand piano. All that is lacking to make it an equal to the best in hotel lobbies is the registration desk. Built in 1938 as a WPA project. Engleman is one of the most interesting structures on campus. It is designed in the form of a W , with the lobby located in the center and wings containing sleeping quarters angling off to either side. The building has 133 single rooms, 46 doubles and one triple. In the late Spring and Summer, the Engleman sun deck becomes one of the most popular spots with residents. Other features of the Hall include a rustic flagstone terrace complete with flowers, fountain and a goldfish pond, that leads off the main lounge. With officers elected annually to continue Engleman ' s practice of self- government for its coeds, the $215,000 dormitory is presently guided by Mrs. Mary McCampbell, its seventh head resident. 108 RESIDENTS OF Engleman Hall were served a magnificent feast at Christmas, including turkey and trimmings.

KSU Twin Marching Bands Celebrate 25th Year As Leading Campus Group It has been 25 years since that first day in the Fall of 1929 when KSU ' s first marching band, numbering some 20 players, took the field at half- time. In a quarter of a century, that small group has grown with its University. It is now a spectacular 130-piece organization which has opened a new era in gridiron pageantry. 1940 marked a new phase of college and un- iversity band activity. Director Roy D. Metcalf in that year conceived the idea of a two-ring circus with Twin Marching bands. The unique plan has been recognized by many band directors, and more recently adopted by other universities. Honors have been accorded the KSU music units by press and band directors alike. The Cleveland Press rated them best by a mile ; Philadelphia Inquirer praised them for com- pletely winning the audience with a superior per- formance of evolutions of almost inconceivable complexities. Francis Murray, executive director of the Seventh Annual Music Festival in Philadel- phia, called their performance co mpletely win- ning when the units represented the collegiate bands of the nation at that program. For the fourth consecutive year, the KSU musicmakers were invited to present the halftime show at a Cleveland Browns football game in Cleveland Stadium this Fall. On the campus level, the members add their notes to Campus Day festivities and REW pro- grams in addition to their performance at grid events. They are spotlighted annually at their own concert. Showing the esteem with which they hold their bands, Kent Staters contributed $1300 to enable them to travel to Kalamazoo for the Western Michigan-Kent State football encounter. no t ;- A NEW ERA in gridiron pageantry was opened in 1940 when KSU ' s Twin Marching Bonds were founded by Director Metcolf. RATED BEST by a mile , the band has been acclaimed by the press and band directors. FROSTING ON THE coke, so to speak, are the majorettes who lead the Twin Bands across the field. OUT ON THE practice field day after day, the Twin Marching units perfect their synchronized precision and music. KSU MADRIGAL SINGERS: First row: Grace Jean Fulmer, Alfhid Flint, Carol Evans, Ruth Howe, Evelyn Heimer and Sallie Shcniel. Second row: James Rowland, Keith Anderson, Sam Dilmore, Ted Forward and Loren Donley. Across the quiet campus comes the sound of a choir practicing, its combined voice welling up into a crescendo now, softening next to an almost inaudible murmer. It is the University a cappella choir at practice, under the direction of Robert T. Foulkes. Boasting nearly 80 members, the group has made a name for itself during the past few years through its frequent tours and programs. Another group of KSU songsters is the madri- gal singers, smaller in number than the choir, but just as effective when it comes to presenting musical programs. The two groups combine memberships each year at Christmas time for the KSU presentation of Handel ' s Messiah. With guest soloists, the production has become a tradition of the Univer- sity with a capacity audience hearing it each year. Choir and Madrigals THE KSU choir, this year boasting nearly 80 members, is under the direction of Robert T. Foulkes of the music staff. t..« ii { KSU ' S CONCERT BAND, consisting of more than 70 student musicians, is pictured following the Winter concert, which featured a collection of gypsy melodies and dances. Combined with the music was choreography by the Modern Dance club. ROY D. METCALF, director Twin Bands Switch to Winter Concert Tempo After marching across the gridiron turf during the Fall football season, the personnel of KSU ' s bands switched to indoor music for the Winter and Spring months, changing their tempo to that of a concert ensemble. Working under the direction of Roy D. Metcalf, the concert band is composed of more than 70 student musicians. The reverberations of their practice sessions on the third floor of Merrill Hall echo across the mall, sending first the notes of a march to listeners, then shifting into a soothing rhapsody. Highlight of the year is the annual concert, presented this year on February 18. Featuring a collection of gypsy melodies and dances, the pro- gram combined music with choreography by Miss Bess Koval, instructor of modern dance, in an outstanding presentation. Also at the Winter concert came the first public appearance of the recording band, a smaller group designed primarily to do radio and recording work. 113 SPEECH AND DRAMA p. J.

The eyes of the announcer flash back to his script. The engineer begins turning the dials on the control board. Another day of broadcasting from the studios atop Kent Hall has begun. It is a scene reenacted daily in the studios of student-operated WKSU-FM. Fulfilling its dual aim of producing professional calibre programs for its listening audience, while instructing KSU stu- dents in the techniques, procedures and production of radio shows, WKSU broadcasts for six hours each day. With a variety of programs on its schedule, the station presents shows ranging from quiz downs to classical music. All are written, produced, directed and announced by students. 114 ONE IN A series of WKSU quiz-downs on current affairs sow Stopher Hall ' s Roy Baughmon, Tom Aitken and Ed Szili outwit representatives of Alpha Xi Delta.

This scene could have taken place in Canada, the Canal Zone, in Egypt, or in any of the many places where there is a chapter of Alpha Psi Omega. Membership in the KSU chapter re- quires 200 hours of work on UT productions. Student Forensics Association It takes more than a strong voice to out-talk members of the Student Forensic Association. Having gained speaking experience through an- nual participation in national collegiate debate tournaments, the KSU pro and con crowd is a difficult one to defeat. WKSU airs the speakers ' views twice a month in a forum-type program on current topics.

Second row: Jim Kohn, Carl Oglesby, Bruce Evans, John Morrow, Prof. Robert Kent and George Corbitt. The final act in the life ' s drama of one of KSU ' s best loved faculty members, Prof. E. Turner Stump, was concluded on November 17, 1953. Head of the school of speech, Mr. Stump was many things to many people. Professor, advisor, orator, poet and man of religion, he was a friend to all. By those who knew him best he is remembered as a cordial, humorous personality whose ready wit was balanced by an ability to skillfully fulfill his many and varied responsibilities. From the time he first began the school of speech in 1930 as a one-man department, he worked for and with both student and staff. He organized a debate team, then later the college theatre, predecessor to the present UT. After enlarging his staff, Prof. Stump introduced both radio and speech therapy with specialists in those fields. His vision of a complete speech unit was realized in 1945 with the opening of the school ' s fourth division. He was the type of leader who could envision a studio Theatre, then make that dream an actuality. He found time to travel to Washington and fight for an FM radio permit. Although his memory will stay with those who knew him, it will also be honored by future Kent Staters who sing the words of the Alma Mater, another Stump contribution to KSU. His greatest dream, unrealized at the time of his death, was a new speech building, to further advance the name and scope of Kent State. Contributions to KSU Live On As Memorial to E. Turner Stump PROF. E. TURNER STUMP, late head of the school of speech. UNIVERSITY THEATRE: First row: Prof. Earle E. Curtis, associate director; Prof. Katharine Norton, associate director; and Prof. G. Harry Wright, director of UT. Second row: John Mor- row, Yvonne Bowen, Prof. Howard Becknell, Barbara Goedicke and William H. Zucchero, assistants. Variety of Shows Marks UT Season SUSAN AND GOD , this year ' s freshman play, starred Nancy Wynn in the title role, with Penny Simmons as her bewildered daughter. Discovering a new approach to God, Susan nearly kills the love of her family and cocktail-drinking set by trying to convert them. She solves her problem in time for a happy ending. OSCAR WILDE ' S The importance of Being Ernest, was staged by UT as a Studio Theatre production. A com- edy of errors over first names, the UT presentation cast Cal Johns as Ernest, with Jim Tushar as Algy, and Barbara Goedicke as the snobbish Lady Bracknell. Paolo and Francesca Paolo and Francesca, an adaptation of Dante ' s Divine Comedy, featured Bonnie Meese and Cal Johns in the title roles of the ill fated young lovers. The bride of Paolo ' s elder brother, Francesca creates a triangle by falling in love with the younger man. Forced into the marriage by her father ' s request, Francesca cannot reveal her love for Paolo. The suspicious Giovanni dis- covers their secret, however, and the two young people seek death as a way to pre- serve their eternal love. Mrs. Moonlight The story of a woman who is given a charmed n ecklace enabling her to remain young for life, Mrs. Moonlight was UT ' s Summer production. Afraid of the social stigma from her continuing youth, she leaves home, only to return years later, still young and beautiful, to her dying husband. Despite her appearance, Mrs. Moonlight, played by Mary Stephenson, is old. She dies by the side of her husband, portrayed in the UT show by Tom Lavrich. The Glass Menagerie Tennessee Williams hit, The Glass Men- agerie, was staged as UT ' s opening pro- duction of the 1953-54 season. With Marcia Giesy portraying the painfully shy heroine, Laura, it was the saga of an unattractive girl ' s withdrawal into a make-believe world of glass figurines. Her match-mak- ing mother, played by Joyce Meeks, alien- ates the love of her son Tom, their sole support, when she tries to force his friend into a romance with Laura. Dale Breck- buhler was cast as the unwilling suitor.

In addition to the satisfaction derived from knowing that as a graduate he is prepared to serve his country as o leader in the event of a national emergency, the ROTC cadet may find his training financially rewarding if he can qualify as a commissioned officer. It also equips him to later supplement his regular income with service as a reserve officer. 120 AFROTC CADET training includes courses in leader- ship, weapons, international relations and combat. Unlimited Opportunity Offered ROTC Cadets Although not members of any armed service, Reserve Officer Training Corp cadets in colleges and universities throughout the country, are learning the latest methods and theories of war- fare as evolved from World War II. With the newest in equipment and textbooks, men enrolled as cadets in Kent State ' s program have chosen between the regular army corp and the more recently added air force instruction. Primarily, ROTC teaches the rights and duties of citizenship under the democratic system, pre- paring cadets to lead citizen-soldiers in time of emergency, and providing minimum instruction for commissions as army or air force officers. Each student has the opportunity to qualify for a direct service commission, if he so desires, or to equip himself as a future reserve officer. The training schedule is divided into basic and advanced stages for young men who qualify as members of the corps. NOTHING BUT continual drill produced the straight lines and well-perfected formations that can be seen when ROTC cadets take the field for a reviewing session. KSU cadets learn to follow the commands of their leaders at the corp hour practice sessions. PERFORMING FOR the President ' s annual riview of the Reserve Officer ' s Training Corp units, the ROTC band strikes up a march to accompany the marching cadets. 121 PUBLICATIONS Spring A hot debate raged during Spring quar- ter after the Daily Kent Stater became a twice per week newspaper. On one side it was argued that lack of staff members prompted the slash, while the opposition called it financial sense to cut the number of editions. Janet deNobel edited the paper, Joe Durbin was managing editor, and Cal Ratcliff, business manager. Fall Why fewer Staters became a dead issue during Fall quarter when the paper again added Daily to its masthead. Campaigning to keep suitcase students on campus, and to raise funds to send the band to play at Kalamazoo, the Stater was edited by Bill Barrett. Chuck Miller was in the manag- ing editor ' s slot, while Steve Turchik was business manager. Summer Shifting to a Thursday-only routine for Summer quarter, the Stater was edited by Marilyn Beifuss for the first session. Jack Schoonover took the post for the second session, and introduced the first six-column series in Stater history. Managing editor for both terms was Jim Monroe, with Jim Littlefield working as business manager. Winter Scooping other Ohio papers with the KSU basketball ineligibility ruling, the Winter-Stater was edited by Dick Duff. From its editorial columns came a boost that sent the Crusade for freedom drive over the top. Managing editor was Larry Carpenter, while Dick Granger served as business manager. 122 THE STATER STAFF, more than 70 strong, has fought its way through deadline, copy and cut fever to produce daily editions. Reporters, photographers, copy readers, business and advertising staffs combine their abilities to mal e the Stater an important part of every student ' s daily life. Editorial positions are earned by persistence and work. Kent Stater Into the lines of printed matter which march across the front page of each day ' s Kent Stater goes the work and inspiration of more than 70 staff members. PubHshed by students for students, the Stater is supported entirely allocations from the activity fund and advertising revenue. Editorial positions are assigned each quarter to the applicant judged most capable by the Publications Policy committee. Its columns are devoted entirely to campus news; its editorial voice supports only those policies considered important to the University and student body as a whole. All undergraduates who have the will to work, the abilitj ' to remember that nothing short of right is right, and the stamina to live up to its integrity without compromise battle cry, are eligible for positions on the Stater staff. THE PRINT SHOP gang, Bill Freeman, Sue Leick, Mar- vin Katz and Bill Caddey check the make-ready for another Stater edition while compositor Clarence Ehmche finishes up the details on press preparations. STATER PHOTOGRAPHERS this year included Jack Walas and Ed Nemecek. Nemecek was head photographer for the newspaper during the Winter term, while Walas wrote the Fall Inquiring Reporter column. 123 DICK DUGAN, picture editor PATRICIA CAIN, copy editor DON SHOOK, associate editor TWEET BURR, editor 1954 Chestnut Burr It all began in April, 1953, when staff membei ' s of the 1954 Chestnut Burr fought their ways through the maze of pipes in the basement of Kent Hall to begin producing a yearbook. The staff was new. They learned fast. Deadline became a synonym for shattered nerves, aching backs and tired eyes. The year progressed. The white brick walls were dotted with pic- tures. The wastebaskets and the ashtrays overflowed. Editor Tweet Burr spurned the usual diet of coffee and cigarettes. She lived on cherry cokes and cigarettes. A pattern for the 1954 yearbook evolved on endless sheets of layout paper. Behind his negative-littered desk. Associate Editor Don Shook moved his slide rule back and forth. The negatives were sized, the orders were sent. The long lists of self-reminders on his bulletin board became sheets of crossed-out sentences. Picture Editor Dick Dugan, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, drew the exacto knife along the margin of another picture panel. WILLIAM ECK, business manager 124 CHESTNUT BURR PHOTOGRAPHERS: Seated, front: Don Shook. Left to right: Dick Dugan, Dick Croy, Jerry Moore, Jack Wolas, Ed Nemecek and Earl Swaney. Not pictured: Tom Tucker, Phil Earnshaw and James Busch. In the background, the typewriters chcked. The stack of blue copy sheets threatened to reach the ceihng. Copy Editor Pat Cain, i-ed pencil in hand, conferred with the writers. Another sheet of paper was rolled into the typewriter. There were a great many laughs, an almost equal number of temper tantrums as the constant rush reacted on frayed nerves. The routine con- tinued. Piles of engravers proofs, stacks of copy blocks and idents mushroomed into small moun- tains. The staff worked on. They groaned at their mistakes, roared at each other ' s jokes, sympathized with one another ' s heartaches. They griped at life in general, then solved the world ' s problems in bull sessions. A group of individuals was trans- formed into a close knit staff. The deadlines were met. The 1954 Chestnut Burr staff fought its way up through the maze of pipes in the basement of Kent Hall. They had produced a record of the year.

Along with group activities, members this year participated in many swimming competitions. Betty Vickers, competing in the National Aquatic Forum in Hollywood, Florida, placed second for KSU. Two solos and two duets by KSU Sharks rated top honors at the synchronized swimming meet in Akron on January 5. Founded six years ago when Miss Beverly Seidel joined the HPE faculty, the Sharks club has a subsidiary group, appropriately named the Gup- pies. Prospective Sharks are required to fulfill a twelve-week apprenticeship in the Guppies and pass an extensive test before being admitted to full membership. The club now boasts a roster of more than 50 student members. Following the lead of many other colleges and universities. Sharks club members have recognized synchronized swimming as a rewai ' ding recrea- tional activity. The group has been led by Miss Deane Ritter during its current season. ALL SET FOR a swim, Betty Vickers gets a send off from Carolyn Miller, Lou Mariol and Miss Ritter. 127 DELTA TAU DELTA ' S championship swimming team makes the big dive, beginning the long race for top fraternity honors. IT WAS a mighty race for the basketball that wasn ' t there when the all-Univer- sity basketball champion- ship playoffs were held. CHI OMEGA and the off-campus coeds ' team vied for honors in the WRA basketball competition during the year. KSU FRATERNITIES fought a long battle for top place in the intramural football race. Sigma Nu won the title. Variety Sparks Recreational Program Topping the list of activities in number of participants is the intramural athletic program. The program includes a variety of sports for every season of the academic year. Starting off the Fall season, Sigma Nu fra- ternity topped Temocs for the all-University touch football championship. In volley ball, Delta Tau Delta came out on top in the frater- nity competition garnering a total of five wins and no losses. Independent champ was the Twin Lakes team, with six wins and no losses. Sigma Nu copped the wrestling title, while the Delts chalked up another victory in the swimming competition. Phi Kappa Tau ' s five was knocked out by the independent winners, the Hounds, in the championship basketball playoffs. In the coed ' s race for WRA honors, Chi Omega and Engleman Hall lead the volleyball race. Top Team on the bowling agenda was Alpha Phi sorority. Other women ' s events, still in progress at press time include basketball, ping pong, bad- minton, swimming, softball and bridge. SPONSORED BY the Women ' s Recreational Association, intramural badminton events were held in Wills Gym. ANOTHER PART of the intramural recreational program included handball for men students on the MPE courts. 129 f f The Organizations As if in proof of Shakespeare ' s epic, All the world ' s a stage . . . , the university stu- dent of today may be cast in one or more sup- porting roles portraying the four sections of extracurricular activities. The first role is a highly desirable one and is achieved only by those students who excel in scholastic and extracurricular pursuits. The students who are outstanding in their particular field and in scholarship are cast as members of an honorary organization. KSU ' s roster of honorary and professional organiza- tions includes both national and local groups which give recognition in more than 30 differ- ent fields of interest. A student ' s second role may be a self-por- trayal. He is a student, joining the ranks of those who will eventually be his colleagues, in departmental activities. Ranging from ge- ology to health and physical education, from chemistry to business scope, the groups hold regular programs, sponsor scholarship awards and set up loan funds to advance the student ' s interest and understanding of his future pro- fession. Next there is the religious organization in which the student becomes one of many who have banded together in spiritual fellowship. At Kent the religious organizations play a vi- tal role without destroying the value of indi- vidual church affiliation. All groups work in close harmony with Kent churches and with one another to promote Freshman Week act- ivities, Religious Emphasis Week, World Stu- dent Service Fund campaign and aid to fore- ign students attending the University. And last, the student plays the role of man, gregarious man, the social being who seeks the companionship and fraternal spirit of- others. In KSU ' s 21 national and local fra- ternities and sororities he finds people of simi- lar interests to call brothers or sisters. Honorary Organizations 132 EPSILON PI TAU: First row: Adrien Smith, Richard Contenza, Prof. Delmar Olson and Prof. Martin Johnsen. Paul Malan, Richard Raidel, Charles Blosser and Emory J.

One of the organizations greatly interested in this is Epsilon Pi Tau, national honorary fraternity for the fields of industrial arts education and vocational-industrial education. The fraternity tries to promote skill and pro- ficiency in its field while at the same time giving research a boost by recognizing important research work and publishing resultant findings. Pi Omega Pi One of the relative newcomers to the campus is Pi Omega Pi, national business education hon- orary, which chartered its KSU branch in January, 1953. A national organization dating back to 1923, Pi Omega Pi is designed to foster ideals of service and scholarship. Prerequisite to membership is a high scholastic record in both business courses and classes taken in other departments. The group meets twice each month.

Basic Cadet Honor Squadron Air Force ROTC cadets at Kent State this year bad the distinction of being founders of a new national organization for college AFROTC units. Tentatively named the Basic Cadet Honor Squadron, the new organization was established at the beginning of the 1953-54 school year. Its purpose is to create, promote and maintain a spirit of enthusiasm and cooperation among men enrolled in the basic AFROTC program. The aim is fulfilled through participation in military, Uni- versity and community activities which will en- courage interest in the mission and traditions of the United States Air Force. Only those students taking first or second year cadet courses are eligible for membership. To be selected as a pledge to the group, a basic cadet must have earned a cumulative point average of 2.5 in both his academic and military courses.

Theta Sigma Phi Kappa Alpha Mu The old retort, Come back when you ' re three times better than a man is still tossed at women in journalism, but chances are better today for the would-be fourth estate members. Theta Sigma Phi, national honorary and professional fraternity, for women in the field, has played a leading role in the change of attitude. Originated in 1909, Theta Sig founded its KSU chapter three years ago. From the first group of nine women, the group has increased to more than 20, with high hopes for future growth. Working with chemicals, cameras, enlargers and flash bulbs, members of Kappa Alpha Mu ' s Chi chapter promote photography on campus by providing hundreds of pictures for University publications. Annually the fraternity sponsors photographic displays and shows. Kappa Alpha Mu, national honor fraternity in pictorial journalism, chartered Chi chapter in March, 1950. Since that time, the fraternity has grown in both membership and prestige. KAPPA ALPHA MU: First row: Robert Kocher, Julia Yeagley, Jack Walas, Patricia Cain and Ed Nemecek.

Sigma Delta Chi KSU ' s chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, profes- sional journalistic fraternity, recently finished its first year as a branch of the national frater- nity which now numbers over 22,000 members distributed throughout the United States in 57 undergraduate chapters and 37 professional groups. On a national scale, SDX is now invoh ' ed in the continuing struggle for freedom of informa- tion against those who feel that public business should be conducted behind closed doors. Locally, the chapter participates annually in the northeastern Ohio Scholastic Press clinic and is responsible for holding the annual Publi- cations Banquet, honoring those who have worked on campus publications. Last Fall, the journalists held the first annual Front Page Ball, designed to fill the void be- tween the opening of school and the first all- University dance of the year.

Keys were made to open doors and doors lead to many things. Some keys are bought, others are free, but the key that opens a special door is the key that is earned. The way to obtain such a key at Kent State is through service. The special door it opens is that of Blue Key. Blue Key is a national men ' s honorary. In addition to service, leadership and scholarship are two other requirements necessary for membership in the organization. Composed entirely of outstanding men who excel in these three fields, Blue Key ' s membership roster lists 26 of KSU ' s most prominent students. With Serving I live as its motto. Blue Key participates in all phases of campus life. Members of the group are active in raising funds for the community chest and in producing Pork Barrel. Blue Key is particularly helping in opening the door to college life for incoming KSU Freshmen. Serving as Freshmen Week advisors, members help orientate newcomers to campus. They continue helping by publishing the Student Directory. 138 Behind the scenes of many of KSU ' s best loved traditions are the 25 outstanding women who have been elected to membership in Cardinal Key. A national service sorority, Cardinal Key has in its ranks only those coeds who stand high above their fellow students in leadership, character, service to the University and scholarship. With its limited membership, the group has become one of the most respected organizations on campus. Striving to develop character through applica- tion of the Cardinal virtues from which it derives its name, the sorority advances religion, service and patriotism by training in leadership. Each year, Cardinal Key presents the Campus Day queen in an all-white procession from Hilltop Drive. Penny Carnival, sponsored annually by Car- dinal Key in conjunction with Blue Key members, raises funds to send Kent Staters to former stu- dents now in the services. Family Day, an Easter Egg hunt, and the womanhood award are other Key activities. CARRYING RED keys and carnations, Cardinal Key coeds escort the Campus Day queen to her throne.

Napoleon met his Waterloo. The study of these various happenings is termed history and some people who are very much interested in it are listed on the roster of the national history honorary, Phi Alpha Theta. Phi Alpha Theta ' s aim is to stimulate scholar- ship and fellowship among students majoring and minoring in the field. Gamma Theta Upsilon More than ever before people have discovered how important it is to know something about the world in which they are living. When it is just a matter of a few hours from here to Europe it is vital for educated citizens to understand that land and all of the other countries brought so near by air travel. Gamma Theta Upsilon, national geography hon- orary, has as its aim the promotion of interest in that field. Besides stimulating student interest in geography, it has established a loan fund for study and research.

But not for long, because women soon proved their competence as commer- cial rivals. From this new status developed an organization which united American business women, Phi Gamma Nu. Estab- lished at KSU in March, 1951, it has grown to a social, as well as professional, honorary sorority for business administration majors with point averages of 2.7 or better. Phi Gamma Nu functions for both KSU and the community. These women present a typewriter to a nearby veterans ' hospital each year. And to the Senior woman with the highest point average in BA is awarded a scholarship key. This encouragement of scholarship is extended through a loan fund to help members finish their educa- tion, another worth-while project of Phi Gamma Nu. TOP: Ruth A.

Arnold Air Society Shortly after the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps unit was estabhshed on campus, the KSU branch of the Arnold Air Society was founded. An honorary organization to recognize students for outstanding work in military science, Arnold Air has now been among the ranks of Kent State organizations for three years. In addition to their high scholastic achieve- ments, men chosen as pledges to Arnold Air are those who excel in the work for the ROTC. As future commissioned or reserve officers in the United States Air Force, Arnold Air members are faced with all of the problems of air strategy and leadership. Outstanding speakers from the service and professional fields are featured at meetings of the group, their lectures often aiding the undergraduates to better understand their problems.

Ohio Uni- versity corps men won the meet trophy for out- standing participation, with Kent ' s men coming in a close second. The two-day meet featured exhibitions of marksmanship, drill tactics and precision march- ing. One of the highlights of the event was the presentation of Pershing Rifles queens from all colleges taking part in the meet. To officially close the program, Kent State ' s PR unit enter- tained their guests and dates at a dance in the Union ballroom. Throughout the year, the KSU chapter follows a full schedule of social and military activities. Mock battles, inspection meets, and drill trips are included in the military category, while the annual Pershing Rifles formal and presentation of the company ' s queen highlight the social scene. Organized in 1949, Pershing Rifles membership tripled in its fii ' st few years on campus. 144 PR OFFICERS: Lieut. Art Getz, supply officer; Lieut. Gust Papalios, recording officer; Capt. J. T.

By 1942, the group was accepted as Beta Pi chapter of the national business fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi. The men of the fraternity keep in constant touch with new developments in their field by frequent trips to commercial and industrial institutions, which will prove of particular inter- est to the student of B.A. or commerce. At least once each month, the chapter holds a professional meeting, featuring speakers from important positions in the commercial and business worlds. In addition to its professional activities. Delta Sigma Pi sponsors a series of social functions each year. Included are a Founder ' s Day ban- quet, the Monte Carlo party, a dinner dance, and picnics. Interspersed with the highlights of the social agenda are house parties and dinners. Each year, the organization recognizes the outstanding scholarship of one B.A. or commerce graduate. To this man goes the Delta Sigma Pi scholarship key. Participating in camups competitions, the men this year won top prizes for both the Cam- pus Day float and Homecoming liouse decora- tions in the independent men ' s division. 148 Delta Sigma Pi WHAT EVERY well-dressed young man should know about his attire is rechecked in the pages of the latest Esquire magazine by Delta Sigma Pi ' s Ron- ald Pring and Jack Dech at the Delta Sig house.

Sophomore men majoring in business adminis- tration with an accumulative average of 2.5 are eligible to join the Society. The aim of the organization is to broaden class- room experiences in scientific management. Officers of the year feel this aim can be achieved by their national affiliation with SAM. Another step toward accomplishment of this aim are the addresses by well-known speakers from the business world who speak at the monthly meetings of SAM. Another purpose is to aid B.A. students in the selection of a career in the business world. Members are thus able to get a good start in their careers from the work of SAM.

Organized several years ago, the club ' s main purpose is to give both undergraduates and faculty the opportunity to learn to fly at a minimum cost. One of the initial groups of its kind in Ohio, the KSU flying group was also one of the first such ventures to be granted a corporation charter by the state. Early this year, a glider was admitted to the club ' s hangar to become a companion to the light planes previously acquired by the group. The glider was presented to the fliiers by the state in cooperation with the Ohio Aviation board. Prospective members under 21 must have parental permission to join the club, and references assuring their good character and sound judgment.

Playing a threc ' sided role in the life of the Catholic student, ISJewman Club is a religiouSf social and educa ' tional force for its memhers LIVING UP TO its role as an educational part of the Catholic student ' s life, Newman club held a series of Thursday night instruction classes this year. 162 Newman Club Remodeling work on theii- new student center was upper- most in the minds of most Newman club members as they rolled into high gear on their annual program of activities. To be located across from St. Patrick ' s Church on De- peyster St., the center was redecorated by the members of the organization for Catholic students. One of 300 Newman club chapters on the campuses of non-sectarian universities throughout the country, KSU ' s branch this year welcomed Rev. Fr. John Daum as its official chaplain. In its role as a tool and instrument of religious educa- tion, Newman club plays a three-sided part in the life of a Catholic student. Acting as a religious, educational and social force in his college career, the organization sponsors retreats, conventions, discussion sessions, instruction classes, dances and parties for its members. The Newmanite, official club newspaper, provides a means of communication among members. Since it is stu- dent-edited, student-read and tells of student activities, the bulletin is another important link in the chain which binds each individual ' s religion to his other college functions.

A united Christian effort to help students of several Protes- tant denominations serves as the goal of UCF. New to the organization this year and directing its activi- ties is Reverend William Laurie, who came to KSU from his church in Parma, Ohio. With his guidance, the officers plan Wednesday afternoon coffee hours, Bible study groups and Sunday evening suppers at which students may share the ir convictions and ideas. The year of social activities is highlighted by a Winter formal and the Senior banquet. Another highlight in the year ' s program is the weelcend retreat, held at a near by camping site. A good example of cooperation, UCF has shown that the various religious groups can work together for the better- ment of their campus and community. Since its origin in 1948, the organization has become an outstanding and signi- ficant contribution to the large body of students whose needs it serves so successfully.

After gaining Student Council recognition as the Scrollers Club in February, 1953, the group petitioned Interfraternity Council for local frater- nity status. It was granted in December. As the Scrollers, the men brought a Karamu House dance troupe to KSU last Spring, partici- pated in Penny Cai ' nival, and began a civic project of clearing an area which was later promoted in Kent as a playground. The Kappa Psi Alpha constitution contains no restrictive clauses on membership. Any male student of good moral character who meets Uni- versity requirements may become a member. Dr. Marvin R. Koller is advisor to the group. Starting off life as a fraternity on the right foot. Ka ppa Psi members immediately entered the intra- fraternity basketball and bowling competitions.

In line with its national philanthropic project of aiding victims of cerebral palsy, Kent ' s chapter of Alpha Chi Omega not only lends its financial support to the Foundation but also its moral sup- port by visiting the wards at Akron City hospital and the Canton clinic. Alpha Chi Omega came to Kent in April, 1950, making Beta Gamma, KSU ' s last local sorority, its 75th chapter. The national group was founded in 1885 at DePauw University. Each month the local chapter recognizes one outstanding member for her conscientious work and awards to her a red carnation, the official sorority flower. Other traditions at the A Chi O house include the annual Lolly Pop dance given by the pledges. For the dance, all members and their dates dress like the lolly pop set. Alpha Chis active in campus organizations in- clude Joyce Szaniszlo and Lillian Pollack, mem- bers of Student Council; Sally Mantle, secretary of the Sophomore class; Doris Eggert, secretary of the Junior class; and Ellen Doccolo, secretary of the Inter-Dorm Council. The sorority also has its members in several honorary organizations including Phi Gamma Nu, Theta Sigma Phi, Kappa Delta Pi, Delta Psi Kappa, and Orchesis. AXO Marty Gunn was chosen by Delta Upsilon as its 1953 K Girl for Campus Day and Jeri Busch was an attendant to the Campus Day queen.

When the dust of rush parties had once again settled in KSU sorority houses. Alpha Gamma Delta had eight new pledges on its membership rolls. Established as a local in 1926, the KSU group became Alpha Nu of the national in 1947. Located at 126 Linden Road, the sorority house is ' the scene of many social events throughout the year. Fraternity parties, exchange dinners, and a monthly dessert for the entire group are a few of the many activities. Formals highlight the Alpha Gam ' s Winter and Spring. Serving as hostesses to an International Re- union day for all members in Northern Ohio recently provided a new experience for the local organization. As a national project, Alpha Gamma Delta has given worthwhile aid to victims of cere- bral palsy. Locally, the Alpha Nu chapter enter- tains the special education class from the Univer- sity School during the Christmas holidays.

That same day, they sang their way to a third place in Songfest, and later ranked third in the Regatta races. They also col- lected the largest contribution to the Stater Penny- Fund. Following an old tradition, Alpha Phi played host to other sorority and fraternity members at its annual All-Greek formal, held on December 4 at Meyers Lake. In addition to the All-Greek, the sorority has its annual Spring dinner dance. Cardiac aid is the national philanthropic pro- ject of Alpha Phi. Cooperating with the Kent society, the local chapter canvassed the city during February for donations to the heart fund.

Gamma Phi Beta alumna in Kent presented the active chapter with a big surprise during Spring quarter when they announced the purchase of a new sorority house. Located at 207 E. Main St., the residence became of ficial Gamma Phi head- quarters during the Fall and accommodates 24 ' girls. To initiate the new house, the Gamma Phi ' s, in conjunction with the International Relations Club, entertained at a reception for Trygve Lie, former secretary general of the United Nations, when he spoke at KSU during October. The new residence was again in the spotlight when its owners turned the front yard into a wild west scene to take third place in the sorority house decoration competition for Homecoming. Members of the sorority have cornered the market on Penny Carnival trophies during the last few years. With their sale of leis by sarong-clad coeds, the sorority has copped the trophy for more consecutive years than most people can remember. Another Gamma Phi activity is the annual May Day relays. The sorority sponsors the races and other competitive events that make up the Relays during Spring quarter, with trophies going to the organizations racking up the most points in each of three divisions. With several of its members listed as officers and members of many leading campus groups, the Gamma Phi ' s are now nearing the end of their sixth year at Kent State. The national group, dating back to 1874, set up its KSU chapter in 1947. 183 I k ; l-i;-- ALPHA EPSILON PI: First row: Ralph Zucker, Roy Berko, Stan Koslen, Jerome J.

Lincoln. Now firmly established in their new headquar- ters, members of the organization have started planning for three of their most outstanding tradi- tions. Included are an annual formal dance, a return to the cowboy and Indian days with a Wild West party, and a switch of nationalities to the ultra-sophistication of gay Frenchmen for the Paree party. The Alpha Epsilon Pi badge which consists of 33 pearls on a gold base, was first seen at Kent after the national established Phi Deuteron chap- ter on April 9, 1949. The fraternity was founded originally on November 7, 1913 at New York University. The colors of the organization are blue and gold. Alpha Epsilon Pi is currently sharing its mem- bers with several leading campus organizations.

Although it is now the only local Greek fra- ternity on campus, Phi Gamma T heta is hoping to join the national ranks in the near future. The men are petitioning Phi Delta Theta fraternity. With a second place in Pork Barrel and a third place in Campus Day float competition to boost the morale, the Phi Gams returned to campus this Fall and promptly moved into a new house at 320 E. College St. For the first time last Spring, the Phi Gams opened their Rowboat Regatta Tug of War to sororities. The Tug was originated by the chapter to add to the number of attractions for students at the Regatta. With the inclusion of Greek women in the big pull contest, Phi Gam now offers two trophies for Tug of War winners each year. Another unusual event originated by the group is its annual Corduroy and Tweed. To break the monotony of Spring formals, the fraternity estab- lished an all-day outing at a near-by country club to highlight its Spring quarter activities. On the philanthropic side. Phi Gam annually entertains deaf children from Kent and the sur- rounding area with a party at the house. A Winter formal and the annual Founders Day banquet round out the year. Phi Gam has won the University softball cham- pionship for two consecutive seasons, and also garnered third place in basketball competition this year. Also along the athletic line, Sonji Herzberg was selected to captain the 1954 Golden Flash football squad. 195 PHI KAPPA TAU: First row: Sam Cheroso, Fred Iden, Anthony Lombordo, George Reed, Merle Foutz, and Leon Jenkins.

Fourth row: Richard Milner, James Stonestreet, Al Wilent, Jim Mueller, Phil Conti, Dwight Goodman and John Bradley. ±M Starting the year of? with a bang, Phi Kappa Tau amazed its fellow Greeks and the student body in general by creating one of the most un- usual Homecoming house decorations on campus. Instead of the usual mass of crepe paper and paper mache, an entire junk yard was moved to the Phi Tau lawn to carry out their slogan, KSU Scraps the Thundering Herd. Although it did not win when the judges ' points were tallied, the decoration was a conversation piece for weeks. After staging a redecorating job on the first floor of their house at 417 E. Main St., the Phi Taus settled down for a big round of social and chapter activities. The dinner dance held in ob- servance of Founders Day highlighted Winter quarter while Spring quarter brought the formal dance and selection of the Phi Tau Dream Girl. In intra-murals, Phi Tau copped the inter- fraternity bowling championship, then went on to win the all-University keggler ' s title. Brother Bill Hookway topped other contestants for the Duke of Kent title by a large majority. Founded in 1906, Phi Kappa Tau installed its KSU chapter in 1949. The Kent group was origin- ally established by a group of Akron U transfer students who belonged to the national at Akron U. Phi Tau shares its members with several cam- pus organizations, including Phi Epsilon Kappa, which has on its roster Tom McCall and Ray Scheer, and Kappa Delta Pi, which elected to membership Carl Mackall. Phi Tau Phil Conti is on the track team. 196 Phi Kappa Tau PHI TAU OFFICERS: Dick Nelson, secretary and Dick Auth, president.

Deciding that Sherman St. was too far off the beaten track for Greeks, Phi Sigma Kappa moved up to the unofficial fraternity and sorority row on Main St. this year. In acquiring a new residence at 324 E. Main, the men also acquired the distinc- tion of being the only organization to have two houses. Located behind the main house is a second one which has been dubbed the Phi Sig annex. Fall quarter was hectic, with redecoration of the new house taking up most Phi Sig ' s time. In between coats of paint, they moved in new carpet- ing and furniture. When the Interfraternity scholarship points were tallied up. Phi Sigma Kappa was in second place for their combined point averages. Despite the high rank attained for scholastic excellence. Phi Sig also finds time to join the organizations listing Winter and Spring formals on their social calendars. In addition, each year they honor a KSU coed during Winter quarter by selecting her to reign over the all-University Snowball Dance, held this year at the University Club in Akron during January. Among the Phi Sigma Kappa ' s who are active in campus organizations are Jack Gattozzi, Sopho- more Student Council representative, and a dele- gate to the Blue and Gold political caucus. Founded on March 15, 1873, Phi Sigma Kappa established its chapter at Kent on May 29, 1950. A year earlier, Tau Kappa local fraternity had come into existence, and it was this group that became the present Phi Sig. 199 SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON; First row: Frank B.

Formerly Sigma Delta, it be- came the twelfth national on December 5, 1953. The old Sigma Delta was founded at Kent State Canton in 1949. That same year they became a social club and the following year a local frater- nity on campus. This past year, the SAE ' s placed third in May Day Relays and sponsored the runner-up for Row- boat Regatta queen. In addition, Al Kilgore won the all-University wrestling championship. Fraternity men in campus organizations in- clude Dean Boose and Art Getz, members of Men ' s Union, and Dick Johnson, treasurer of Student Council. SAE varsity lettermen are Al Kilgore, a first tackle on All Mid-American team last year, and Dick Bartfay, who will captain the 1954 KSU Golden Flash track team. Other SAE monogram winners are Lowell Busick, wrestling; Kirk Rixon, basketball; and Charles Cezscicky, football. The local chapter, located at 224 East Erie Street, has always maintained a one hundred per- cent membership in the Booster Club. Exchange dinners are usually held at least once a week with a sorority. The SAE ' s also have two formals a year. At their annual Spring dance, the sweet- heart of the fraternity is chosen by members. The current officers of Sigma Alpha Epsilon are: Dick Johnson, president; Dean Boose, vice- president; Dick Bartfay, secretary; and Andy Lokie, treasurer. 200 Sigma Alpha Epsilon JOINING BILL HAMAKER at the piano are brothers George Pedroff, Dick Bauer and Chuck Ceszcicky.

Sigma Nu continued its supremacy over other fraternities on the intra-mural sports front last year by capturing the intra-mural title for the seventeenth time in twenty-one years. Since March, 1953, the men from Columbus St. have won first place athletic trophies in track, table tennis and golf. In softball they placed second while in the Gamma Phi Beta- sponsored May Day relays, Sigma Nu guys won top honors. Founded nationally at Virginia Military Insti- tute in 1869, Sigma Nu was established at KSU in March, 1949. Formerly the group was Delta Phi Sigma local. Tops among the fraternity ' s own social affairs are the White Rose formal, the Scummers Hops, presented by each pledge class; and the Kappa Sigma Nu Homecoming celebration. The Kappa Sigma Nu tradition, begun by returning GI ' s in 1946, includes a football game with the GI jug as stakes, and an all-University dance. Included in the Sigma Nu membership roster are eight varsity lettermen. They are Art De- Genaro and Kyle Worrall, basketball; Joe Kemp and Ted Dickey, swimming; Frank Toncar, wrest- ling; Bob Phelps, track; Don Burke and John Tekesky, football. Other White-Star wearers who are BMOC in- clude Chick Ewing, Student Council; Bob McFer- ren, Blue Key and Men ' s Union; Art DeGenaro and Don Burke, members of the HPE honorary.

Third row: Chuck Potter, Jay Hollabaugh, Jim Turpin, Bob Jones, Don Mickey and Don Webster. Although it is a young fraternity on the Kent campus, Sigma Phi Epsilon is proving to older chapters that it will soon become a leading one. The national fraternity, born in 1901, accepted the local Chi Alpha group during Spring, 1953. As men of the violet and scarlet complete their first year as a national, they can proudly review achievements of that period. First off, the Big Ep ' s copped first place in the Kent Stater ' s annual Rowboat Regatta. It was the rowing of Vernon Southworth that guided the craft to a first place trophy. It was only a short time later when the brothers copped second place honors in songfest competi- tion on Campus Day. Among Sig Ep ' s top social activities are the annual Founder ' s Day banquet and the Spring formal dance. Representing 132 S. Lincoln in campus activi- ties are Marion Moser, who belongs to Blue Key and Delta Phi Alpha; Don Day, a member of Men ' s Union, and Ken Pedlar, in Scabbard and Blade. Prominent among the organization ' s various activities is the presentation of a yearly scholar- ship to a freshmen who excels academically. Officers are: Marion Moser, president; Ken Pedlar, vice-president; Roger Cole, comptroller; Karl Miller, secretary; George Smith, historian. The Sig Eps, with a brand new house located at 132 S. Lincoln St., are ready to make their second year as a national even a better one than the first. 204 Sigma Phi Epsilon :2 E SIGMA PHI EPSILON officers are: First row: Dr. Olsen, Ken Pedlar and Marion Moser.

Scrapping all mementoes of its days as a local fi-aternity, Phi Beta Phi switched the sign on the front of its house during Spring quarter and at the same time switched charters to become the 110th chapter of Theta Chi. During their last days as a local organization, members of the fraternity staged a mock funeral for the late Phi Beta Phi. With their sisters of Alpha Chi Omega sorority shedding the official tears, the men held a torchlight service during which a miniature coffin, containing many souve- nirs of the glorious past, was entombed with proper rites and solemnity. As Delta Tau chapter of the 97-year-old na- tional fraternity, the men changed their group ' s colors to red and white. Unchanged, however, is the annual round of social events which is high- lighted by the Winter and Spring formals, and the yearly aid to underprivileged youngsters. With Fall quarter came the first group of KSU men to be pledged to Theta Chi fraternity. The group defeated an opposing Akron U Theta Chi chapter in a grid battle, then turned its attention to a reception for its housemother. Active in campus circles this year have been Theta Chi ' s Steve Turchik, business manager of the Stater, John Berea, Who ' s Who . . . ; Bob Lynes, Blue Key treasurer, and a member of Gamma Theta Upsilon; letterman Robert Smith, who is also publicity chairman of the Blue and Gold political party; and Blue Key members Berea, Smith, Turchik and Dick Dearing. 207 THETA KAPPA PHI: First row: Donald Petruzzi, John DiClllo, Pol Grobovoc, Jr., James DeMeo, Donald Sollis and Al Salzano.

Theta Kappa Phi, the only Cathohc fraternity on campus, had its beginning in the mid 1940 ' s when the Friars Club was formed. The Catholic men who organized the Friars saw their ambitions become reality when the national group estab- lished its KSU chapter in December, 1949. The fraternity, founded at Lehigh University in 1919, chose red, gold and silver as official colors. With its primary aim of enhancing each member ' s spiritual life goes a desire to keep socially active. The house at 225 E. College is the site of the best fraternity library on campus, as evidenced by the Theta Kap ' s unequalled record in winning Manchester awards. This award goes to the fra- ternity maintaining the most complete library. In 1953, the Theta Kaps copped a trophy in the Beard Growing contest for entering more mem- bers in the competition than any other campus group. In line with the primary aim of the na- tional organization is the local chapter ' s constant work as the backbone of the Newman Club for all Catholic students. More than meeting the requirements set up by the national office, the Theta Kappa Phi branch at KSU was awarded the official scholarship award for 1952-53. Along the social line are the fraternity ' s annual Gold Cup formal, the Sweetheart formal and the traditional Sweater Hop. When combined with exchange dinners and sorority parties, these events provide a big social whirl and keep the Theta Kappa Phi ' s hopping. 208 Theta Kappa Phi THETA KAPPA PHI officers: Seated: Jay Volio president; Jotin Kopcso, secretary.

The theme was carried out with golf props. 209 Y ' ' n ' ■ n T.a % ' 7MWk •- ■ v. f PANHELLENIC: First row: Marcia Hill, Elaine Kovalchik, Joelda Delo, Connie Wendt, Pat Fahey, Anita Ewing, Carol Hampton, Lois Miller, Nancy Witalis and Dot Croson.

Panhellenic Council OFFICERS: Doris Dalitz, secretary; Livy Hemming, pres.; Dean Margaret Forsythe, advisor; and Rosemary Yalech, treasurer. Late in the Spring, Panhellenic council created a minor furor in Greek circles on campus by slashing the membership quota for sororities. Set up at a total of 60 several years ago, the limit was reduced to 55 members for each of the eight national organizations. During Fall quarter, council directed a two-week formal rush period, then set up the regulations to govern informal sorority rushing for the remainder of the year. Acting as a go-between for sororities and unaffiliated women, Panhellenic sets up the rules for rushing, then acts as a jury for any infraction of them. Consisting of three delegates from each sorority, Panhel- lenic this year was guided by Assistant Dean of Women Margaret J. Forsythe. In living up to the creed of the National Council, the organization strives to make sorority life an oppor- tunity for each affiliated woman to prepare wisely for her future as a citizen in a democracy. As one step toward the achievement of this goal, KSU ' s Panhellenic council encourages high scholastic standards among sorority women by annually awarding a scholarship cup to the organization maintaining the highest point average. The cup is presented to the president of the outstanding group at the Honors Day assembly. 210 Interfraternity Council Although the members of Interfraternity Council are only a minute portion of the large group of affiliated men students on campus, they are the governing body for the fraternities as a whole. To regulate, integrate and set up rules for fraternity rushing is perhaps the most important function of the council. It is also responsible, through its member-organizations, for a posi- tive contribution to the primary functions of the University. The council encourages personal development of its members on the intellectual, physical and social levels. Organized in 1909, the national IFC is set up for convenience as well as efficiency. Each fraternity is equally represented on the board by its president and one elected member. The 26 delegates at KSU make it possible for all 13 fraternities to transact business concerning Greek men. A lively spirit of competition is promoted by the council through intramural athletics. Trophies are awarded to the winning organizations in nine major sports, with a separat e award going to the fraternity which garners the most wins during the year. IFC OFFICERS: Ben McGinnis, assistant dean of men; Neil Helman, president; Dick Deoring, secretary; Jack Gatozzi, treasurer; Weir McBride, vice president.

The American Commons club opened wide the door to fraternal spirit when it came to KSU six years ago. With ideals of brotherhood, democracy, University first, and an open door policy, the or- ganization is now firmly established at Kent. The national American Association of Com- mons Clubs was started in 1921 at Denison. Its founders hoped to have an organization that placed education first, one without religious or class discrimination and one that would be finan- cially feasible. In 1947, two Kent State men heard of the or- ganization, and its ideals appealed to them. They promoted the first official meeting of the Kent State Commons club in January, 1948. The chap- ter grew rapidly and the following year became one of five national branches. Continually participating in the independent division of campus competitions, ACC copped first place at Penny Carnival, then placed third in both Songfest and Homecoming events. A busy social schedule keeps ACC men jump- ing throughout the year. Events include Winter and Spring formals, houseparties, a Senior ban- quet, an activation dinner-dance and undergrad- uate-alum picnics. Joining other groups in the big trek to new homes, ACC hung up its sign at 623 East Main St. this year. An American letter national group, ACC has its members taking part in many campus activi- ties including Pi Gamma Mu and Psi Chi. 213 « K5U VETERANS; First row: Bill Bender, Al Sherran, Elmer Negley, Wallace Fieger, Robert G.

They saw duty in all branches of the armed forces. Returning home, their minds turned to ambitious projects. They trekked to Kent by the hundreds and boosted the school ' s enrollment to near-record figures. The germ of banding together was planted in the minds of four young veterans in the Spring quarter of 1953. From this nucleus sprang one of the newest, but most powerful organizations on the campus. The group was given added impetus by the cessation of hostilities in Korea. Over 700 young veterans flooded the campus in the Fall quarter of 1953. The veterans signed into every college in the University. They made ready candidates for every social organization. Their influence grew. The club itself provided a medium for them to meet and gain new friends, to strive together, to raise for themselves a more potent voice in cam- pus affairs, and to integrate themselves into the social life on campus. 1953 was a formative year. The club had its share of normal growing pains, but emerged with a hard core of trained men capable of running a well balanced club. The social committee organ- ized and carried through an increasing number of social events topped off by a highly successful dance late in January. The number of veterans should increase and the club grow stronger as the services pour out a continuous stream of young men with visions of a higher education. 214 KSU Veterans Club PAYING THEIR DUES to Treasurer Don King are KSU Vets Walt Ink, John Carson and Gene McCoy.

As youngsters, its members first entered the academic world under the shadow of their elders ' preoccupation with events across a wide sea where some man named Hitler was marching through Poland. Within three years, they had lost all opportun- ity for a childhood in a peaceful America. Pearl Harbor meant little to them on Dec. 7, 1941 when radio newsmen solemnly announced that it had been bombed. In their protected homes, it was dif- ficult to understand the meaning of a world war. But it soon became apparent that something was terribly wrong. Fathers and older brothers were being kissed goodby in crowded railroad sta- tions; the older generation spoke of little other than strange sounding places that were being turned into battlefields, and shortages that kept Mom busy counting ration points. The bubble gum, candy bar and new-shoes twice-a-year rou- tine was shattered. Bubble gum reappeared in the stores, and with it came peace. The year was 1945. Those destined to be the college graduates of 1954 had become too sophisticated to use the jaw exerciser but just sophisticated enough to discuss United Nations progress in civics classes. Their entrance into the whirl of campus life was dimmed by other departures . . . departures of friends and relatives for a little-known far eastern peninsula where the UN was carrying on a police action. The Class of 1954. Depression, war, distrust and uncertainty are its heritage. As the younger gen- eration, its members lived through world-rocking events caused by a now-past generation. Now, as adults, they are looked up to as the educated hope of the world for better things. SINCE THE graduating class entered college in the Fall of 1950, its members have been directly and indirectly affected by history-making events. In 1951 (top), the Korean strife was fast becoming a major war. 1952 (top center), saw Dwight D. Eisenhower landslide into the nation ' s top post. Elizabeth of England and her husband, Philip, were top figures in the Coronation of 1953. Then there is 1954, the big year for college Seniors; their year of hope and uncertainty. Kti 3i2v jc Business Administration ARDEN L. ALLYN, dean of the College of Business Administration, is a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan. Dean Allyn has been with the University for 20 years, and head of BA since its founding in 1937. Tremendous Growth Is Seen In BA College Out of the 1930 depression depths mushroomed Kent State ' s youngest division, the College of Bus- iness Administration. Shooting up almost overnight from one grad- uate in its first year to 150 this year, from the curricula of 97-credit hours in the beginning to almost five times that many at present, the College of Business Administration has graduated over 2000 young men and women well-trained to take their places in the business world. To keep pace with a rapidly changing society, the College has constantly revamped programs and added special new courses. During the second World War, it introduced several courses on foreign relations and trade to its curriculum. This adaptability has proven to be one of divisions most important features. A student enrolled in the College of Business Administration may work for either the bachelor of secretarial science degree or a bachelor of sci- ence title. The college also offers a pre-law curriculum. Among the college ' s objectives, three are out- standing. It seeks to give each student a good foundation in liberal education, to help each one choose his major field of interest by giving him a background of general business information, and finally, to train the student in his chosen field of specialization. 218 s John Adamuscin Robert G.

Already the oldest and largest division of the University with a well-established position, the college has not rested on its laurels, but is ever striving to improve. The education faculty takes a keen and per- sonal interest in each student majoring in the field. Departmentally speaking, each future tea- cher goes through a strenuous round of tests and interviews to determine his aptitude for a teach- ing career. Each is counseled concerning the myriad problems which confront undergraduate. To give students valuable first-hand experi- ence in their chosen field, a program of student teaching has been set up by the college in conjunc- tion with schools of the Kent area. By actually working with youngsters in the classroom, the future teacher is able to gain a valuable insight into the problems that will face him when he enters the profession. By giving the undergraduate education major the most thorough training possible, the college realizes that it is producing good teachers who will be capable of giving America ' s younger gen- erations the instruction so vital to the survival of democracy. ROBERT I. WHITE, dean of the College of Educa- tion, has taught classes from elementary through college levels. A University of Chicago graduate, he became dean of KSU ' s largest college in 1946. 225 William E. Adiey Conton Joann Adrian Sonic Ande!

Zuschin Cleveland Akron ALL EDUCATION MAJORS at Kent State are required to put their text- book learning into practice as student teachers before being graduated. 234 Liberal Arts LA Enters 25th Year As University College Celebrating the silver anniversary of its found- ing this year, the College of Libei-al Arts can look back on 25 years of almost phenomenal growth. Since 1929 when an act of the General Assem- bly provided for the establishment of courses leading to degrees of bachelor of arts and bachelor of science, the college has served its own students by giving them the broad education they seek. It has also cooperated with the other two colleges by providing courses that constitute a large portion of their curricula. With the addition of the liberal arts division, Kent State Normal became Kent State College. In studying for the bachelor of arts degree, the student follows a program in which breadth takes first place and specialization is secondary. In op- position, the college frankly states that the BS degree represents a program in which specializa- tion takes precedence, but does not eliminate the investigation into other areas of learning which are necessary to a firm education. Courses not universally found in liberal arts schools are included along with the regular langu- age, history and science departments at Kent State. Among these are art, journalism, home economics, health and physical education, music and speech. Thus liberal arts, generally known as KSU ' s middleman among the colleges, plays a part in the career of almost every student enrolled in the University. ERIC N. RACKHAM, dean of the College of Liber- al Arts, with his friendly direct manner has won many friends since coming to Kent State Univer- sity from the University of Colorado in 1952. 235 _ 4 ...v Wayne L.

Because of a characteristic or ability, some students stand out among their fellows. A college student may be considered out- standing because of high scholarship. He may show great leadership ability or may display a fine character. Others are noted for their unceasing service to the University. Some rank above their colleagues because of participation in extracurricular activities. Then there are the campus beauties who are chosen as queens to reign over festive occa- sions. With all this goes personal popularity, the intangible asset which makes a student loved and respected by others, and which is an im- portant part of becoming the legendary BWOC. Just as history records the achievements of its famous personages, so Kent State takes pride in recognizing and recording the activities of its outstanding students. Each year several are honored by inclu- sion in the pages of Who ' s Who in Ameri- can Colleges and Universities. At the end of each quarter, the three colleges of the University issue the names of those students who excel in scholastic endeavors on the Dean ' s lists. Others receive recognition at the Honors Day assembly. The yearbook, too, salutes those men and women who, in the opinion of the editorial staff, deserve special mention for their out- standing characteristics.
