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.

John B. Nicholson, Jr. Library Science L. Earl Bush Mathematics Ralph E. 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.
