CONSTANT COMMUNICATION It is a wise man who knows what he wants and how to get it. It is a wiser man who prays, not only for himself, but for others. Through prayer comes a real, on honest communication. This communi- cation is not adulterated by trite phrases — this com- munication is known as TRUTH. So on Sunday comes a universal communication between the men of the Christian world, united in the joint communion of prayer. The satisfaction of reading a book, be it good or poor — that, too, is communication. The relaying of an author ' s thought to the mind of the reader. Reading opens a vista of new ideas to the world. And reading is communication. So is music, spread throughout the world on flat, block discs — creating o message of sadness and joy that is unbounded by language barriers nor color lines. Writing, too — whether it be by letter or for pub- lication — offers a release of ideas. A satisfaction within itself, writing is perhaps the most common source of self-expression. The world of mass communication is a world of living experience — and it makes the world a far better and far happier place in which to grow and live and learn. Students Enjoy the Convenience A juke box presents an escape from ordinary sights and sounds. Young people enjoy growing up with a new medium of communications. of Modern Communications A boy calls a girl for a date that evening. The magic of communications — be it the day-to-day type of conversation spilled over tele- phone wires throughout the nation or the once in a lifetime television broadcast, foretelling perhaps the destiny of the entire nation. On campus, the telephones are kept humming from day to night with a host of incoming and out- going calls. And in the dormitories, the Hub and the journalism lounge television sets spell out en- tertainment and news of the moment. And who can forget the jukebox — that paragon of things musical — from rock ' n roll to sweet ' n smooth — that ' s the message communicated by the record machine. So even with entertainment comes communication. An operator intercepts and connects the line. Communication is completed — the girl answers. ■if ; J., ' Speech therapy often helps in the all-important function which is vital to everyone, and that is to speak. World Communication Communication is not only for those who are endowed with the physical speech or- gans. Even those less fortunate are gifted with methods of speaking. Some such ways are taught in the Uni- versity classrooms. Sign language provides speech for the deaf; braille helps the blind to discover the mysteries of literature. So to all comes the magic of communication — ■ unhindered by physical defects. The physically sound sit in a lecture class and consume the fruits of a profes- sorial lecture — so it goes all through the college years — the give-and-take of class- room procedure, outfitting the student for the rougher give-and-take of the working world. Possibly the most vigorous form of com- munication occurs on the athletic field. Before the game, it is the coach who maps the strategy and informs the players of the up-and-coming game situation, the play to be stressed, the play to be watched for. And, on the field of play, it is the players who turn to communication — brute com- munication in the form of tackles, blocks, and side-arms. All this is but communica- tion in a thousand different guises. For the art of communication wears a thousand masques, each more intricate than the first and each beneficial in its way. The often-heard sound on campus by students — the voice of a prof. A coach communicates with his keen mind while watching from the side. Symmetry On the The student photographer finds his outlet in film, flash bulbs, a camera on a tripod and a willing subject to pose. 10 An art design class releases communication made possible through its outlet of creative drawing. March Through the Magic of Art Self-expression, too, is a means of commun- ication. The artist puts his deepest feelings into a painting which is then re ' ayed through the eyes of the onlooker. So it is with photography — an image trans- formed through the miracle of chemistry into lasting and material object captured in the rapture of a single moment. Again, it is the artist, the photographer, communicating with his audience. The same holds true for sculpture, this re- cording for posterity of a pose. And music, too, is a definite form of communication. Only with music, the communication is achieved through another sense — that of hearing. Mu- sic is an idea of a composer transmitted to the listener. Communication thus is carried on even through the arts. Ideas take shape in many ways and forms. Music — an uncharted vista of worldwide communication. The student mail boxes provide on excellent means for exchanging notes, ideas, and dates. An Eyeful Through the Written Word Expression is achieved through the written word, one of the best known and most acclaimed medias of modern communication. Perhaps the most widely known media of written communication is the newspaper. Through the daily press comes all sorts of written matter designed to inform, interpret and entertain. So it is on campus. The daily newspaper and the very yearbook you hold — these are media of written communication. So are student mailboxes — jammed, often to overflowing with notices of meetings, personal cor- respondence and University information bulletins. Another method of intra-campus communication are the numerous bulletin boards, scattered throughout the halls and manned by virtually every department imagineable. Walk through Kent hall and there can be found news of educational oppor- tunities in sociology, psychology and education itself. All this is possible through the use of the written word. Each University department also offers its share of communicative literature in the form of pam- phlets, leaflets and mimeographed letters. Incoming freshmen are greeted each fall with the written word in a variety of guises — in the K- book, in the catalogue, and in the often-confusing schedule of classes. This is communication through writing. The written message is also carried to the student by posters and notices placed on the bulletin boards. 12 Science faces the challenge of communications with its methods of test tubes, microscopes and bunsen burners. Communication Through Experimentation The word communication is basic . . . people use it for everything from the telephone and the radio to the boss ' s last memo. Communication, is of course, as old as man ' s first Ugh! All day, every day, communication is carried on — by word, by glance, and by gesture. There are a good dozen sciences examining communication from every angle under their respecti ve microscopes . . . group dy- namics, study of the human mind and mechanical-elec- trical communication systems. 13 Classroom Tempos Mood-setting for study — be it math, music or metiiods. ... i imi Slides and movies open an entire- ly new vista for the students in their daily classroom schedules. iHiiiiii ' W III Match the Universal Pace Communication comes in many forms. Classes are one of the main packages in which thoughts are passed from person to person. In biology, there is a communication of physical facts, ideas and theses. Here is im- parted i nowledge of the human anatomy. Here economics is another field of com- munication — through sewing, cooking and book learning, students communicate and become, themselves, a part of the communi-- cation. Psychology, learning the basis of the hu- man operation — that, too, leans toward the acquiring and imparting of knowledge. And so does mathematics — a communica- tion through the use of numbers, letters and formulae. A new kind, a different kind, but communication, in its most objective form. Such is the way of communication — from the study of the human organism, to the sub- jective study of psychology — and on to ob- jective mathematics. A stitch in time makes a home ec major. Clinical tests offer psychological guid- ance for those seeking personal answers. Mammals are prepared for slides so all may learn. 15 Even the smallest children have unique methods of communicating when they wish to express their thoughts. Education - - Watchword of Tomorrow A definition of communication might be; any behavior that leads to an exchange of meaning. Taught from the early grades up, a child learns how to communicate with his fellow beings — through sim- ple processes that are taken for granted, but that are so necessary and important. In some education centers, communication classes have sprouted up — to teach the meaning of this ex- change to children — just the ordinary methods of reading, writing, and speech. Guidance for young minds through student teaching. Practical Application Classes are, in themselves, forms of communica- tion as, indeed, education is basically little more than a mass means of communication between professor and student. This means of communication is through lecture, through reports, through graphs, through motion pictures and through written and oral tests. All these are but a few forms that classroom communication may take. In a business class, communication may take the form of the typewritten word, the shorthand symbol, or business machine verbalizing. And in journalism, the written word takes the fore — woven into stories of intrigue and adventure and routine tales of police action, council meetings, and sports. And so is there communication among the teachers of tomorrow as they discuss the proper and improper methods of coordinating their classroom techniques. All phases of study activity can be deemed a form of communication, for verbal and written methods ore themselves the basis of study. So does communica- tion enter into the heart of the University — the classroom. Dictation, typing — all necessary in the business world, A business journalism class learns to express ideas for those engaged in industry through layout, copy and art. Building Communications Communications — the hands often express the future. ndustnal arts plays a role in communications — a role that fits into the deliberate communication, that of producing the material and equipment that covers the field. Good communication is communication that a person understands, accepts and acts upon. Building communication pays as high a dividend as that of re- ceiving it. Our business world is more highly mech- anized today and uses the industrial arts field for this emphasis. 18 Creative ability finds expression in the machines of the modern age by manual work Learning By Doing The word communication may be basic, but its meaning is for from crystal clear. People use it for everything and go off at several different tangents applying the label communication to each. Through classes such as home economics and ma- chine shop work, communications is parted through the physical equipment rather than the oral and writ- ten message. A tasty morsel or a meal — this is the way of homelike communication T % 4 -Jff i- J tW-SK- y;, l V li 1 1 J ' i i «h i. JS BB p w. .-  ■ ' •!■ ' .m m .nfciiji « iiii«wii il ' ' -«r .... . ■ m-tmA.

For the first time in many years the traditional dink was conspicuously absent from the freshman at- tire for the week. Because of University action, the freshman headdress was not in sight. Instead, megaphones in the gold and blue of KSU were carried by freshmen. The class of 1960 will again be possessors of dinks, as a result of a student election. Long lines for registration, long lines for fee pay- ments and long lines for housing presented the fresh- men with their first taste of college life. Informal dances, a welcoming address by Presi- dent Bowman, the Freshmen Prevue and campus tours all combined to give the freshmen a small taste of what the next four years on the Kent State campus would be like. Kent State ' s largest freshman class listens as they hear the annual welcoming speech of President Bowman. Frosh Line Up For Campus Life Freshman Week was more than just the arrange- ment of class schedules and examinations — and lines. It was the beginning of o life at o home away from home; a place where for four years activities, organ- izations and studies were to play an important part. Freshman vocal talent was a highlight of the week. A freshman meets the Bowmans, Bill Mayer entertains the freshmen. The KSU twin marching bands form a heart to honor Miss Betty Lewis, Homecoming Queen, and her court. Homecoming Conquers Campus Spirit and Marshall! Among the many campus events, Kent State ' s annual 34th homecoming celebration was one of the biggest. Homecoming fairly burst with activities, starting with the registration of some 7000 returning alumni beginning at 9:30 a.m. in the Union ballroom. Next came the judging of house decorations erected by independent groups, fraternities and sor- orities. Trophies were awarded to the different groups on the basis of originality, craftsmanship, theme and over-all effect. The winning organizations were an- nounced that night at the Homecoming dance. And speaking of the dance . . . Miss Betty Lewis, picked out of a field of 1 00 entrants, reigned as queen. Claude Thornhill ' s orchestra provided the entertain- ment in the MPE building, playing for a record crowd. The real highlight of the day was the Mid-Amer- ican Conference football game between Kent and the Big Green of Marshall College in the afternoon. The Golden Flashes drove to victory, sparking the entire day. . « President Bowman welcomes the alums at Homecoming. The largest Homecoming crowd in KSU history jammed the stadium as the Golden Flashes played Marshall. A time to renew acquaintances — such is Home- coming at Kent State. Slews of graduates, now alumni, return to the campus for the annual festivities, which include decoration competition, a football game, and dance. This year saw a fervor of preparation for the big day and the big game. The Golden Flashes easily rolled over their opposition on the gridiron. Music for dancing was supplied by Claude Thornhill. ft Mixed emotions at Homecoming. Let ' s really yell now!

Gridiron Contest Highlights Dad ' s Day Festivities Henry Hot Lips Levine leads the KSU twin bands in hi s new fight song, dedicated to the Golden Flashes. Topped by a gridiron clash between this year ' s top- flight Golden Flashes and the mighty Redskins of Miami University, Dad ' s Day heralded perhaps the finest display of school spirit witnessed on campus in many years. Colorful balloons bearing the imprinted legend, Beat Miami were seen on every hand in addition to megaphones. Fraternity representatives aided the cheerleaders in their all-out effort to stir up some school sentiment. Halftime featured a salute by the Twin Marching Bands to fathers in attendance in addition to the introduction of a representative Dad . Concocted by the Golden K ' s, who this year re- placed the now-defunct Booster Club, Dad ' s Day was an immediate and overwhelming success. The crowd that surged into the Kent stands well overflowed the stadium seating capacity, and perfect football weather added to a perfect day. A Christmas tree lends atmosphere as the Kent State glee club renders seasonal music. Christmas - - Song and Beauty Santa Clous pays his yearly visit to Kent kids. Holiday time is a happy time on campus despite the advent, along with festivities, of finals. Throughout the University, sights of the season were prominently displayed. Huge Christmas trees, decorated by Student Council members, embellished the sanctity of both the Atrium and the Union. Each of the dormitories went all-out to celebrate the season with festive decorations. Perhaps the most impressive was Terrace Hall, with a giant Christmas tree in the main lobby and smaller blue ones in each of the twin lobbies. But perhaps the most memorable holiday event of the season was the annual singing of Handel ' s Messiah by the combined choirs and the University orchestra aided by four guest soloists. And it was this theme that caused Student Council to act on a motion which provided for caroling in the Atrium daily by various representative groups of the University. 28 5M0 ' 5.

The twenty-fifth anniversary Pork Barrel perform- ances were highlighted by record audiences, the fourth consecutive victory for Delta Upsilon and the presen- tation of a trophy to Jerry Hayes for his contributions to MSA, co-sponsor of the affair. Delta Gamma ' s Chef ' s Toss Up walked off with honors in the sorority division. A newcomer to Pork Barrel, the Macedonians won th e first place trophy in the independent division with The Art of Accept- ance , a satire on KSU.

Pledges Have Debut at Annual All-Greek Dance Several Greeks take time out from dancing for some refreshments at the All-Greek at Meyers Lake. Meyers Lake in Canton was once again the site for the annual All-Greek formal. A tradition built up in the 1930 ' s continued as the Alpha Phi sorority entertained the Greeks. Carol Evans, president of the Alpha Phis introduced the new pledges and the actives serenaded the new Greeks. The Sigma Nu fraternity, the sorority ' s brothers, also sang to the new members. The huge ballroom sported the colorful banners of the different fraternities and sororities. This and the setting of soft lights and music combined for a won- derful night of entertainment for the Greeks. A let-down on the usual feelings of competition is one of the nice features of the dance. The tradition- al intermission introduction of pledges is marked with the giving of single red roses to each girl. Except for this singling out by the host sorority, the affair is unmarked by Greek distinctions. Later on as the clock nears midnight, couples hav- ing danced and enjoyed themselves to the fullest be- gin thinking about heading towards home. Thus marks the end of an evening of festivities until next year. 32 Members of Alpha Phi serenade their pledges at the All-Greek dance. Dancing Tops Annual All-Greek Alpha Phi pledges are presented at the All-Greek. Traditionally one of the top events on the University winter quarter social agenda, this year ' s All-Greek formal lived up to the usual tradition. Sponsored yearly by Alpha Phi sorority, the dance highlights music by a well-known mu- sical aggregation. Intermission features a serenade by members of Alpha Phi in honor of their new pledges who are presented to at- tending Greeks and their dates. Held, as per usual, at Myer ' s Lake Ball- room in Canton, the All-Greek attracted mem- bers of each of the fourteen fraternities and eight sororities on campus. Despite threaten- ing weather, the attendance reached an all- time high. 1. jfeC Ef VtW D I X- € C 1| - ' 1 i i v - i ' :% ' -Ni f .t5- i ' i I. % a . - .i„i •y, Buddy Morrow ' s bond gets o workout as they present o rendition of their famous recording Night Train ' Morrow Makes Mellow Music Miss Kent State, Sally Andrus, is honored at Top Hop. Formerly presented as a concert, Top Hop this year returned to the ranks of campus dances. Open to all University students, the donee was held the night before Washington ' s birthday, with two o ' clock permits given all women students. Dancing was to the swinging music of Mr. ' Night Train, ' Buddy Morrow, and he obliged with an encore of his best-selling disc. Attendance was estimated to have hit the 400 mark — all-time high for a pre-vacation dance. Attire was dressy, ranging from knit suits to sheath dresses. Highlight of the evening was the intermission crowning of Miss Kent State by the chairman of the University Social Committee. Also presented were her two attendants, selected on a point basis to vie for the final title. The winner was selected by an all- University election. Gifts were presented the queen by her sorority. Student Council, Social committee and various additional organizations. The 1956 edition of the Top Hop, which last year featured the Commanders, was a fitting beginning for the Washington ' s Birthday holiday and a welcome mid-week break for undergraduates and their dates. Two years ago, Sauter-Finnegan supplied the music for the Top Hop concert. The band of Buddy Morrow stars at Top Hop. The Top Hop, featuring Buddy Morrow end his band with his singers Carol Collier and Larry Valen- tion provided the entertainment for the 1956 affair. Always held the night before Washington ' s birthday, a school holiday, this was the first Top Hop dance held in three years. In the two preceding years, Top Hop took the form of a concert featuring the Com- manders one year and the Sauter-Finnegan orchestra in 1954. A highlight of the occasion is the crowning during intermission of Miss Kent State — this year ' s choice — Miss Sally Andrus. An overflowing crowd turned out for the dance — swaying to the rhythmic beat of Morrow ' s band and requesting the popular song that brought Morrow ' s name into the pop field — Night Train. The dance was informal with 2 a.m. pers for the coeds. The band joins in the applause for Miss Kent State.

Photography Short Course Flashes on Campus Flashbulbs popped — shutters clicked and Speed Graphics were all over the place. The annual Short Course at Kent State was once more in session. Keynote address was given by George Yates, chief photographer for the Des Moines Register and Trib- une. Following his speech, various panel members discussed the recent trends in photojournalism, under- water photography with a demonstration by Peter Stackpole of Life magazine, and cameras in the courtroom. Studio owner Paul T. Esselburn of Akron presented techniques on the lighting and posing of society pictures. Man in blue turns into photography critic.

Relaxing at Short Course. In 1938 an idea became a reality and the Annual Short Course in Press Photography came into being. Since its inception the course has played host to many nationally known photographers who have brought new innovations to Kent State during spring vacation. The invasion of the several hundred photographers each year does not cause an upheaval among the students, since the lensmen take over Engleman Hall while the campus is on its yearly rest between quarters. The course has been nationally recognized as the best of its kind and continues to expand each year. The four day seminar was founded to give photo- graphers and editors a chance to learn new methods of photography. It also gave the men a chance to exhibit some of their works in the contest which is held each year. Several different categories enable the photogs to enter their works for judging and prizes. The Short Course in 1955 saw one of the largest groups of photographers invade the Kent campus for their finest hour.

For the first time in Kent State ' s history. Stu- dent Council sponsored a Broadway musical instead of the traditional original tune show. The student directed and acted company of over fifty people staged the musical fantasy, Finian ' s Rainbow , which was a great success on Broadway in recent years. Directing NTFC for his second year, John Mor- row assembled an exceptionally talented cast. Richard Osborne was musical director and Dave Jecmen staged the musical numbers and dances. Bob Williams designed the sets and acted as tech- nical manager. Finian kisses Sharon good-bye as he leaves. €- l,f wH, r Young sharecroppers lived in Rainbow Valley, which provided the setting for NTFC. A singing ensemble of twenty-four voices and a corps de ballet of twelve dancers made up the largest cast ever to be seen on the KSU stage. Starting its eleventh year as an annual production. NTFC proved to be as sparkling a success on campus as it was on the Broadway stage. Main character parts were: Cal Johns as Pinion, Audrey McEntire as his daughter, Sharon, and Dave Jecmen played the over-grown leprechaun. Others were Guy Totoro as Woody Mohoney, Sharon ' s lover; his sister Susan was Mary Spacht. Frank Merolla played Senator Billboard Rowkins and Bob Dill was his assistant Buzz.

Penny Carnival — colorful booths, lined up on the midway offering delectable prizes. It ' s fun! We should do it more often. The carnival atmosphere was felt by everyone. 42 Gamma Phi Beta ' s Hawaiian theme won first place honors among the sororities. First place for fraternities went to AEII for their gold fish and ping pong balls. We ' re all having a wonderful time; wish you were here. Again the spirit of competition goes rampant among the independent groups, fraternities and sor- orities as KSU ' s Penny Carnival rolls around this year. Alpha Epsilon Pi won the first place trophy last year with their booth of throwing golf balls in gold fish bowls. The groups that make the most pennies from their booths win the first place trophy. Contri- butions go to the Scholarship fund of the Blue Key and the Cardinal Key. The 28th of April in Wills gym marked the date of the festivities. Dignity and somberness gave way as the hilarity of the midway unfolded in the gym. Ever shove a balloon? Ring a leg? Or maybe dice games are more your line. Whatever your idea of fun and kicks may be, you ' ll find plenty to amuse and laugh with at the Penny Carnival. And it ' s all for a worthy cause too! t ' s time out for the pause that refreshes. Pitching pennies seems to be the most appropriate of the booths at Penny Carnival yyf . . ' - i ' - : ■,r ' . . ' % ' : , -;- ' ' . f, ---- ;- : • •. f Z ' , pn. ' ' ' ,1i Wm .1 if i W „ - % fe MS .

Campus Day - - Memories To Last For A Lifetime The Campus Day Queen is escorted to her throne. A holiday throng of more than 10,000 alumni and undergraduates swarmed on campus for the 16th annual celebration of Campus Day. Highlight of the morning program was the coronation of Queen Patti Maher by Student Coun- cil President Joe Franko and the presentation of her ten member court. Also participating in the in- augural procession were white-clad members of Cardinal Key, national women ' s service honorary. A series of folk dances were performed in honor of the court by the University HPE Club, replacing the Maypole dance of former years. With the starting time moved up to 3:30 p.m. to facilitate earlier dining prior to the dance, sing- ing topped the afternoon activities as organizations competed for honors in Songfest. Sigma Alpha Epsilon topped the fraternity division as Alpha Phi was judged winner among sororities. Independent victors were Kappa Phi and Sigma Theto Epsilon. 46 ppl l The painting of the white ' K ' on the campus by K girl is a highlight of Campus Day.

Top event on the spring social calendar, Campus Day annually draws thousands to the campus, all to view the co orful events. Beginning with Cardinal Key ' s procession in the morning, the presentation of the queen and her court, and the traditional Maypole dance, Campus Day is a spectacle of color and entertainment. Following the morning procession is the early afternoon parade of floats. Entrants from both Greek and Independent ranks stop Main Street traffic as they pass the reviewing stand in front of Rockwell Library. Then comes songfest — also attracting entries from Greek and independent factions. The music, new and familiar, provides a serene at- mosphere to the spring afternoon. Climaxing the day ' s activities is the tra- ditional dance, featuring music by one of the nation ' s top bands. Highlight of the dance is the presentation of awards to the winners in both float and songfest competition. From start to finish. Campus Day provides memories that are designed to last a lifetime. A touch of humor is presented by Alpha Phi ' s 1955 Campus Day float. A new symbol of truth, Davy Crockett, made his appearance on Campus Day. The float entered by Inter-Group won first place among independent men. DU ' s winner of men ' s best theme award. Alpho Xi ' s Fountain of Peace imparts a message.

Alpha Chi Omega, Sigma Nu, Independent Stu- dent ' s Association and Stopher Hall netted trophies in the 1955 edition of Rowboat Regatta. Festivities got underway at noon with a motor cavalcade to Hudson Springs Park. Between-race entertainment was provided by singer Guy Taro, the Alpha Phi Quartet and the Skylarks. Reigning over the day ' s activities was red-headed Myrna Lemley, ably assisted by the four runner-ups in the queen contest — Cecile Crittenden, Lynn English, Betty Hasson and Carol Hampton. Alpha Tau Omega strained its way to victory in the Phi Delta Theta-sponsored Tug-0-War contest, defeating Delta Tau Delta. The annual rowing contest was sponsored for the first time by Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalism fraternity. Regatta was originally a project of the Kent Stater staff and later was organized on an independent basis with student chairmen. Dick Baun headed the 1955 event.

The thunderstorm, coming just after the final Rowboat Regatta race, cancelled the original plans for on afternoon of dual activity, but the Gamma Phi ' s refused to give up and rescheduled the annual event for the following Tuesday. Held on the lawn to the side of Rockwell library, the relays offered Greeks an opportunity to frolic in a series of skill contests. Included on the agenda were such stunts as a pie-eating contest, balloon breaking contest, egg- throwing competition, peanut push and patch sew- ing. The winners in both the sorority and fraternity division received shiny gold trophies for their proficiency. Sew stitch in time saves nine. Look Mo — no hands! Tastes better this way.

Academic Mastery Rewarded Due recognition was bestowed upon 188 students accomplishing mastery in their academic fields at the 23rd annual scholarship convocation, and four per- sons were cited for individual work leading to gradua- tion with honors. Presiding at the program was Dean Raymond M. Clark, while scholarship citations for dormitories were presented by Dean Glen T. Nygreen. Highlighting the event was announcement of the Women ' s Panhellenic Scholarship cup winner. The winning fraternity received the scholarship citation from Jerry Hayes. Dr. Dwight L.

With the first week in June came commencement — and a dignified procession of graduates paraded forth to the podium to accept their diplomas. Robed faculty members headed the academic line- up, wearing the colors symbolic of their schools and their degrees. Tops in the quantity of graduating seniors was the College of Education, followed by the Colleges of Busi- ness Administration and Liberal Arts. A series of coffee hours in honor of the grads followed the event. 61 ' ' M Breaking of ground for another girl ' s dorm to be built behind Terrace Hall was started this summer.

Offering the graduation address was Dr. Andrew Cordier, executive assistant to the secretary general of the United Nations, who spoke on The Role of Education in Promoting Peace and Understanding. The majority of summer graduates received the master of arts degree with 1 17 receiving the master of education and 52 in both the other two colleges. Three students graduated summo cum laude, indicating they hod a 3.8 or better cumulative average. Ex-student Dr. Cordier receives honorary degree. Hip boots no more as Terrace gets sidewalks.

Here is where the leaders of tomor- row are weaned on such staples as psychology, biology, history and English. This is the well- oiled machinery of learning and teaching welded into one. Here is EDUCATION. Easy enough to attain these days, educa- tion can provide the key to the future. At Kent State, eager students ore instructed with an eye to that future, with the goal of security always before them. And only through the education of today ' s men and women can security be assured, not only on an individual plane, but also on a much greater scope. Kent State provides the book-learning, but it is each student ' s opportunity to apply that learning to their chosen vocation. The Uni- versity also supplies practical experience in a variety of fields — radio, journalism, chemistry and literature. Horizons for the graduate are unlimited. 66 m S - y r Board of Trustees Kent State gives a note of thanks to its Board of Trustees and a special note of appreciation to its as- sistant secretary, Mrs. Alice Makinson. Mrs. Makinson holds two positions, for she is also secretary to Kent State ' s president, George Bowman. A group of six members compose the Board of Trustees. Five of the board are appointed, one each year for a period of five years, by the Governor of Ohio, with the consent of Legislature. The sixth mem- ber is the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Some of the jobs allocated to the board are the appropriation of school funds, expansion programs, and the policies of the University. As for projects in the near future, the student body can look forward to the granting of their wishes after careful consideration by this group. BOARD OF TRUSTEES, left to right: Robert C. Dix, Sec; Charles H. Lake, Vice Pres.; John R. Williams, Pres.; Otto J. Korb, Treas.; Robert H. Stopher, Trustee. Girl Friday for both the board of trustees and the President as secretary, is Mrs. Alice Makinson. 68 Chief public relations man, planner, and administrator, is president of Kent State University, George Bowman. Pres- Bowman — One Man Team To be the head of a university, its overseer, its judge, its keeper, and its organizer, is a fulltime job for President George Bowman, In fact, there is a lot of overtime put in — but the reward is more than gratifying — it is a satisfaction that everything is running smoothly, and that missing links are replaced, while rusty spots smoothed out. President Bowman is highly respected by both colleagues and students who feel that in this man they have an able administrator and manager. Personnel Deans Stress Social Rules Mrs. Davis may be a new name, but the same warm-understanding prevails. Her friendly smile and over-all glow are the trade- mark of Kent State ' s Dean of Women. Into her cap- able hands falls the responsibility of the entire student women body as well as the odvisorship of the Asso- ciation of Women Students. A warm personality and unbiased opinion are qualities in her job that have become well-known to those who have met her. The duties of a dean often become involved, but although the headaches seem frequent, there is sat- isfaction in the knowledge that hundreds of girls hove been helped and many friendships secured. During the Thanksgiving vacation, Dean Swan- son took on another career when she became Mrs. Donald Davis. A ready smile and sympathetic listener can be found in KSU ' s Dean of Men. One office door that is always open to the men students on campus is that of Glen T. Nygreen, their dean. When advice is needed, or perhaps just a plain man-to-man talk. Dean Nygreen can be counted on to be there. To be in charge of the daily problems of hundreds of students requires great patience and endurance. But with the understanding and sympathy that can be found in the Dean of Men, the task is lightened by the thanks of grateful students. Dean Nygreen is highly respected by his students and is known for his helpful counseling. He is always in constant touch with the student body. Dean of the Graduate School Raymond Clark helps grads to work for their Masters. Admission to Kent must hove the approval of Richard Rot- zel, director of admissions. Transcripts and class sched- ules are attended to by Registrar Charles Atkinson. Men Behind The Scenes To be a well-run organization, a university must have a clear-cut decentralization of its ad- ministration. And Kent State has just that, with each department efficiently run by capable heads. A student ' s problems, whatever they are, are taken care of, swiftly, and surely. Financial wizard of Kent ' s treasury is the University comptroller, Paul E. Beck. The student ' s friend is Loren Hadley, who is Kent ' s able director of student advising. Keeping Kent well supplied is a never-ending task for Business Manager Emil Berg. Employers seek the help of Lester Munzenmayer, director of Bureau of Appointments. As vet coordinator, alumni sec- retary, and assistant dean of men. Ben McGinnis is busy. Extension and special activ- ities fall under the guidance of Clayton Schindler. News, Jobs ' N Guidance At Kent State, there are channels within the Uni- versity that help the students with their special ser- vices. The men in charge of these operations know all there is about their duties, and each works hard to keep his department well-stocked with necessary tools and connections that are needed. Through their efficient handling, good public relations is maintained between University, student, and the outside public with whom they must deal. Through their efforts, Kent State is a smoothly-run unit. Public affairs officer for the University is George Betts, who keeps Kent in the news. Newly appointed Russell Har- ris is the man in charge of Kent State U ' s News Bureau. The final okay on University publications must come from University Editor Julia Waida. . ■( KSU ' s Police Department: Left seated, Sgt. Clem Rine, and Chief Earl B. Coleman.

Guided by the able hand of Chief Coleman, the force handles the registering of student-driven cars. They also help to maintain a safe and respectable campus. For the big occasions, when there is bound to be a lot of confusion and traffic jams, the force is Johnny on the spot in directing and straightening out the problems that arise. The Seniors Liberal Art Majors Prep For Varied Careers Under the administrative eye of Dean Eric N. Rackham, majors in the College of Liberal Arts are busily training for degrees in such diversified fields as journalism, medical technology and industrial mathematics. In addition to major fields, special programs in pre-law, pre-medicine, pre-dentistry, pre-theology and pre-osteopathy are offered students enrolled in the Liberal Arts college. Basically, all courses within the college empha- size a fundamental background in arts, sciences and humanities. Most of the programs are not specialized, but offer a wide scope of study. Besides its individual function as a separate col- lege within the University, the College of Liberal Arts also offers courses and services designed to meet the needs of the other schools and colleges.

First, the college trains prospective school teachers, supervisors and administrators, and sec- ondly, it offers a variety of courses for already certi- fied instructors in northeastern Ohio. Both two year cadet programs and the usual four- year courses are offered by the college in addition to degrees in special fields such as speech and hearing therapy, slow-learners, deaf education and trade and industrial education. Graduates of the College of Education are eligi- ble for the Ohio four-year provisional certificate since the College program is set up in accordance with the requirements of the State of Ohio Department of Edu- cation. Included in the program for all graduates is a minimum of one quarter of student teaching. A close watch on education majors is kept by the head of the College of Education, Dean Robert I. White.

Just name it and Kent State can offer it! A variety of activities, both individualized for select groups and designed for all-Uni- versity participation. In the former category are departmental clubs, honoraries, professional groups. In the latter are such highlights as Campus Day, Homecoming, Top Hop, and Military Ball. And all take time and effort. Many are designed to aid the student in the vocation of his choice — such as publica- tions, theatre and Future Teachers of Amer- ica. Others merely offer a chance to grow through getting to know people and what makes them tick on a social basis. Both are all-important in the University function. 102 103 The gavel raps for attention as Kent ' s governing body of students opens another session on KSU problems. Student Government Kent State ' s student government is similar to that of our own American government, ex- cept of course conducted on a much smaller scale. Its purpose is to be elected by and to demo- cratically represent the student body. It also is to provide a sounding block for all students to voice their opinions for any program that will make Kent a better university. However, also like our national government, Kent has its problems with elections. Despite publicized campaigns only a sma ' l part of the student body turn out to vote. Student government meetings frequently run late when problems come up, such as the contro- versial issues which were on the Council ' s agenda this year. By making a careful examination of their own personal feelings and looking at the issues objectively the Student government of Kent State came out, having accomplished an adequate job.

Student Council It was a year marked by major battles and minor skirmishes for the members of Student Council, KSU ' s student governing body. Facing Freshman Week with vigorous protests over the prospect of no hazing. Council immediately began to moke its power felt as the ruling stood until a win- ter election vote soundly showed student preference for a return to dinks. The Social Code also came in for its shore of at- tention from the group as members voted to amend the Code as formulated by the personnel deans. But it was on the issue of the Macedonians that Council really found itself in a stew. Faced with an organization that claimed its aims were to further the gentlemanly arts such as boar-hunting and fal- conry, Council refused to recognize the club, saying that its aims were inconsistent with those of the Uni- versity. Later, with a change in Big Brother ' s constitu- tion. Council reversed itself following a controversial retreat into a committee-of-the-whole. In spite of the major issues. Council also found time to handle the routine matters with finesse. Student Council officers: seated, Jo Ann Smith, Treas. ; Joe Franko, Pres.; Sally Andrus, Sec.

And that bang reverberated throughout the fall quarter, although the party failed in its efforts to gain a Council majority. It did, however, capture a major- ity of class offices. Blue-Gold campaign literature flooded the campus at election time, with all types of gimmicks designed to lure voters to the polls. Membership in Blue-Gold was increased as Alpha Epsilon Pi and Phi Kappa Tau joined the ranks. With a slogan of B-G — Better Government, the political party surged forward in its efforts to get the vote out. All in all, the party ' s efforts paid off at the polls after a slack year in ' 54- ' 55.

Keyed to the opposition party, Nu-K kept its fin- ger in the news columns of the Kent Stater and placed its men in key campus positions. The party boasted three of four Council officers within its membership. Campaigning reached all-time fever pitch during the hard-fought fall election, in which the Nu-Kites emerged victorious, although their majority was slight. Winter elections were considerably brightened by a Nu-K sponsored pamphlet that stressed Nu-K ' s nominating policies. Don ' t put YES men in office, was the cry. The party, however, only managed a split for Council offices in the slack election, but it was enough to prove its position as a political power on campus. NU-K officers: seated, Jim McCarthy, Chrm.

Men ' s Student Association All men entering Kent State belong to one organ- ization regardless of what college they enter or what field they are going to pursue after graduation. Men ' s Student Association is formed with repre- sentative members and officers who are elected by the male body of the school every spring quarter. These men are elected on the basis of four principles which form the nucleus of the organization: leader- ship, character, scholarship and service. Every winter quarter MSA co-sponsors Pork Barrel, which features short skits by campus organizations. This year ' s show was held before the largest audiences in the show ' s twenty-five year history. Men ' s Student Association also co-sponsors, with AWS, a banquet for presidents of all the University organizations. And after a lapse of one year, the Beard Growing Contest was again revived, as MSA continued in their efforts to give the best to KSU ' s male students. 108 AWS Co-partner of MSA, is the Association of Women Students, the female governing body on campus. Automatically a member of this association after payment of fees, a coed is eligible to choose repre- sentatives from her dorm who will see that her requests and opinions are heard. AWS has the legislative power to act on all rules pertaining to University women. It also has a judicial side with on interdormitory council that works along with the house council in each dorm to enforce the regulations set up by the AWS executive board. The Association holds parties each quarter for off- campus women, a reception for commuters, and a senior women ' s banquet. They also act as co-sponsor along with MSA for Pork Barrel and the Presidents ' Banquet held each year. AWS officers: seated, left. Dean Davis.

Musically Yours Music To Live By could well be adopted as the theme of the hard-working Madrigal Singers, smallest of the University song groups. These songsters easily make up for their lack of size through the beauty of their voices, blended to- gether in perfect harmony. The Madrigals add their talents to many of the School of Music programs, in- cluding the annual Christmas presentation of Handel ' s Messiah, when they join with the University A Cap- pella and the University orchestra. If music can be sung, the Madrigals can sing it, and sing they do for the pleasure of audiences both on campus and at public concerts. Hard work and years of training have yielded the magnificance of song as produced by the well-versed Madrigal Singers of KSU. Blending their voices in melodic harmony, the Glee Club under the direction of Ralph E. Hartzell, prac- tices for the presentation of a coming performance. 110 MADRIGALS, left to right, row 1 : Robert H.

A Cappella Choir Madrigal Singers Every quarter is a busy quarter for the multiple talents of the A Cappella choir. Each new school ses- sion brings a series of demands for its appearance at concerts and tours in the area. Under the able direction of Robert T. Foulkes, the A Cappella choir has reached high stature and its many talents are extolled by music critics in the northeastern Ohio section of the nation. Melodic notes resound from the blended voices of KSU ' s A Cappella choir as they display their reputed quality. ' . O f! u- ' T JirOi ttt mmtmmmim Rehearsal, even more than the actual performance, is a time for deep musical study. Eighteen years ago, a small group of music-minded Kent citizens got together and began to form the Kent Civic Orchestra. As the years went on, students of the University gradually entered the ranks of the musicians, until after the second world war, the group became the Kent State Civic Orchestra. Many of the musicians are amateurs, but a large number of music teachers are numbered among this outstanding musical aggregation. Because of the difficulties in getting together for practice, the group has been hampered in its aims. The deepest, most somber tones in orchestral ( rangements are usually played by the bass section. 112 Quality, Not Quantity Marks Orchestra Quite often the orchestra of a large university is lost in the shuffle of hundreds of organizations, activities and recognition. At Kent State, this is not so . . . because of the high calibre of the musicians in the University ' s or- chestra. The organization is one of the better known groups on campus. Every Christmas season, the townspeople of Kent and the musical organizations of Kent combine their talents to present the Messiah by Handel. In addition to this annual presentation, the group also gives a regular concert on May Day. Under the direction of Louis P. Krch, the orchestra has become an integral part of not only the cultural life of the University, but of the entire area as well. One of the most important axioms in the musical world is to always follow the beat of your leader. Staid or lilting, light or gruff, the violins are the most versatile instruments in the Kent Civic Orchestra. 113 Attention! Ready to march into action are the Twin Bands of KSU, headed by a corps of top majorettes. Seen through the strings of the harp is a section of KSU ' s band just before they are to give their concert. KSUs Twin Bands With the arrival of crisp fall weather, the stadium crowd awaits the arrival of band music. The strains of a march drift through the stadium, introducing the KSU twin marching bands, under the direction of Roy D. Metcalf. The band swings onto the field with a brisk step for the pre-game ceremony. They sit together during the game and help the spectators cheer the team on with the KSU Fight Song. At half-time their work begins. The 90 band members strut onto the field and go through their ma- neuvers. They must keep in step and keep the lines straight, which is just the mechanical part of the show. The musical rendition of the theme must tie the rou- tine together. Some of the music used for the shows is original, like the Golden Flash March, written by Henry La- vine. This year the band also put on their show for the Cleveland Browns and were well received. Music swells forth from the multitudinous instruments of the University Twin Marching Bonds at grid clashes. Presented in its entirety — the famed concert band of Kent State University under the baton of Roy D. Metcalf ' K ' Stands for Kent, of course, but when the Twin Bands form it, the ' K ' also stands for perfection in music. Which Twin Has The Tone? Every week day during the football season, KSU ' s twin marching bands can be found practicing several hours for football ceremonies. Weather permitting, the bond goes through its paces in the Kent State stadium, oft time freezing in the process of marching and playing. Although the band appears on the field a short time, there ore hours of private and group practice in preparation for pre-game and half-time events for the benefit of fans. During all these many activities, band members maintain the care of their instruments and band uni- forms. Each new season also brings about the loss of old, experienced band members, but KSU ' s twin marching band manages to live up to its past tradition. A majorette stands at attention during a salute to her University being played by the Kent Twin bands. 116 Dramatics Ginger and King Lear Fill Out Year William Shakespeare ' s King Lear, closed the 1954-55 UT season last spring quarter. A large cast, directed by Earle E. Curtis, presented one of the finest shows ever to be seen at Kent State. An unusual re- volving set was designed by Howard Becknell. Charles Kray portrayed the aged Lear, Dolo Shonobrook played Cordelia, and the other two sisters were Sally Cahur and Nancy McKenna. Al Mancini, Larry Lowrance, Frank Torok, and Nancy Wynn completed the prin- cipal cast. The Freshman Players opened the winter quarter with the presentation of Time Out for Ginger, directed by Dr. Bedford Thurman. This comedy of youth and family life revolved around a football-play- ing daughter and her understanding parents. Jean Ann Woldvogel headed the cos t which included Mari- lyn NahovQ and Richard Smida in supporting roles. A scene from Shakespeare ' s King Leer , as the aged king displays one of his moods and starts into rage. Comedy prevailed as the UT Freshman Playerswent through a scene from Time Out for Ginger. The court-martial room in San Francisco provides the setting for the UT production of Coine Mutiny. UT Presents Wizard, Caine Mutiny The imaginary ship, U.S.S, Caine, docked for a four night run on the Kent State stage long enough for a performance of The Caine Mutiny Court-Mar- tial. Directed by G. Horry Wright, with sets designed by Howard Becknell, the Herman Wouk play was presented December 1 , 2, 3, and 5 in the University auditorium. Featured in the cost were: Carl Oglesby, Robert Spanabel, John Descutner, Lorry Lowrance and Zone Saunders. L. Frank Boum ' s children ' s classic, The Wizard of Oz, was staged by the UT players during the winter quarter under the supervision of Dr. Bedford Thurman of the Speech-Theatre faculty. Children in the audience were taken over the rainbow, to the Land of Oz, with Dorothy, in search of the great wizard. Principal roles were played by Joye Smity, Ed Pyie, Frank Everly, and William Fry. The Tin Man looks on as the Queen from Wizard of Oz grants some wishes to the play ' s heroine.

Association of Student Forensics The talk ' s the thing, to para-phrase Hamlet, seemingly could well be adopted as the slogan by the Association of Student Forensics. Designed to further the art of debating, the group competes with representatives from other campuses for speech honors in various categories. Individuals scored high for the Kent State delegation to the re- gional tourney, bringing home numerous honors. Primarily composed of speech majors, the Student Forensic association scores high in campus prestige, as they bear the banner of the University to competi- tions throughout Ohio and the Midwest. Long a campus institution, the members strive to fulfill their slogan of stimulating progress in inter- collegiate speech and communication . Scholarship also ranks high among the members with a raft of honor students complementing the organization. All told, it was a successful year for the Kent State dele- gation.

Ready for vocal action is the alert crew of station WKSU. The jazz collection of WKSU is one of the largest in the area. 122 KSIJ-FM ammn w:i op WKSU-FM And now for the news! In addition to the many enter- taining features of WKSU, the radio staff also offers the serious programming — news and commentary. The Voice of Kent State University — that ' s WKSU in a nutshell. The campus radio station, oper- ating on an FM frequency and piped into the campus dormitories by special wire, keeps the student body informed of news in addition to providing a host of special features. Topping the fall quarter presentations was a special broadcast entitled, The Night Before Home- coming, which included toped interviews with persons working on their house decorations. Music, interviews with campus dignitaries, and plays proved popular diversions too. Possibly the best known of the WKSU features is the WKSU Quiz which pits panels representing various campus groups against each other in com- petition for on annual trophy. Another popular fea- ture this year was the Guy Taro Show featuring Singer Taro and other musically inclined undergrad- uates. •rau-m It  THUKHK Even the engineer plays an important role in the day-to day broadcasting over the frequency of campus radio. The Play ' s the Thing, — at least it is to these guys ' n gals of the WKSU-FM staff as they present a drama. 123 Daily Kent Stater It ' s no easy job, putting out four pages a day, four times a week as any Stater staffer will tell you. News begins pouring in as early as 8 a.m. on a normal day and the flow never ceases until well past the 6 p.m. deadline. The romance of a fabled reporter often escapes the eager freshman as he is assigned to do routine checking of University offices, but to the seasoned Stater veteran, the daily rush to meet dead- lines captures his imagination and makes each day a new challenge. Perhaps no one knows better than a member of the Stater staff exactly how the University trend is swing- ing on any major issue, for the campus BMOC ' s are constantly informing the newspaper of happenings outside the pale walls. Working on the staff of the Daily Kent Stater is an education in itself. Photographers: left, Dwight Beatty, David Jones. A copy desk seems to be the logical place for members of the Stater to gather when there is a staff meeting. h I !X.v !5ttl-« c Issues galore sprinkled the pages of the Daily Kent Stater and provided fuel for the editorial fires as staff members worked long hours to perpetuate the high journalistic standards of the University School of Journalism. Fall quarter saw the Macedonians rise to the crest on the campus news scene . . . But despite the popu- larity of Big Brother and his followers, the Social Code also came in for its share of column inches as did Student Council. During winter quarter, it was a switch to the Greeks as two fraternities drew social probation and created a splash in the Stater. However, all was not serious. Dick Bibler ' s famed LMOC drew daily laughs from his avid followers. The inside pages offered social news and a variety of well chosen feature material. Homecoming and Pork Barrel topped the Stater prior to the annual presenta- tions of each.

Mgr. 125 Chestnut Burr Visitors to the offices of the Chestnut Burr, located in the dark recesses of Kent Hall, might be greeted by a barrage of flashbulbs as staffers engage in out-and- out warfare or the pleasant aroma of coffee perking on the back burner. It all depends on the occasion. Sometimes there are arguments as tempers flare prior to deadlines. Stock resignations highlight the Burr routine as irate staffers walk out only to return after a cup of Hub coffee ready to meet that deadline or bust. But all is not play. There is the constant pressure of meeting deadlines, of lining up organizations and individuals for pictures, queen judging, and a variety of intricate problems which sometime seem impossible to untangle. It ' s a lot of fun and a lot of headaches — this making a yearbook.

With the radio blazing, armed with pizza, potato chips, and cokes, the staff of KSU ' s Chestnut Burr plunge into their work.

Actually, they are a swell bunch of characters, who co-operate well with each other and put in many hours to produce Kent State ' s yearbook. 127 Business Staff Andy Thomas Business Manager The business staff of the yearbook has the responsible task of handling contracts with organizations, selling advertising and keeping the books in order. They travel to industries and businesses in Kent and neighboring cities to secure advertisers for the Chestnut Burr. Money is essential in producing a yearbook and the capable staff procures this necessity. BUSINESS STAFF, left to right: Tony Caruso, Dan Tu- tolo, William Hura, Asst. Bus.

It is here that the faculty advisors appear on the scene. Professor James Fosdick and Professor William Fisher are faculty consultants for the Chestnut Burr and the Kent Stater respectively . . . giving their time, advice and assistance. This has been the initial year for both men in their positions as aides to the publications. Without the technical ability and the helping hand extended to the staff members, the job would hove been more difficult than it was. It was the job of these two men to integrate per- sonalities, decide the merits of pitcures and copy, and give the always needed words of advice.

Military Is Well Organized at Kent American military history, individual weapons, drill, command, and organization of the Army ore only a part of the various subjects studied in ROTC classes. Qualified cadets entering either branch of the military program offered at Kent must study the mis- sion and functions of the arms and services, commun- ications and army operation. Four honorary military outfits are active in the many extracurricular activities that are offered to the cadet . . . helping to present a challenge to the men and maintain brotherhood. 130 Military aspects of geography and the impact of airpower are topics for discussion by AFROTC cadets. The Reserve Officers Training Corps at Kent State University was formed on the campus in order to se- lect and train qualified men to serve as officers in either the Army or Air Force. The program is aimed at helping the individual student to develop his qualities of leadership, which he will need as an officer in the armed forces or as a civilian in private enterprise.

Pershing Rifles A blue and white cord worn over the left shoulder of a uniform signifies a member of the Pershing Rifles. Both Army and Air Force ROTC ore eligible for mem- bership to this organization. Founded with the purpose to give ROTC students a basic background in drill and leadership, the group utilizes tactical information as well as tactical field problems. Drill meets and mock battles are held to give the members an insight into modern warfare. Each year, the ROTC students elect a coed to act as honorary sponsor ... in which capacity she reigns over dances and parades held by the outfit. Pershing Rifles men participate in the annual ROTC Military Ball and in flag raising ceremonies at University func- tions. Pershing Rifles was organized at Kent State in 1 949 . . . two years later admitting the Air Force ROTC into the group. Through their basic training, students of this military group maintain the standard for good soldiers. 132 Company K-1 Busy is the word to best describe the activities of Company K, First Regiment of the National Honorary Society of Pershing Rifles. Staffed by outstanding ROTC men on campus, Company K participated in numerous University acti- vities, including Campus Day, Armed Forces Day and Memorial Day. Members aided the Kent city March of Dimes drive, adding their efforts to those of merch- ants in a street corner solicitation. In addition, the Company K drill team competed for honors in the annual state meet. Members also provided between-half ceremonies at the final home football game of the season. Socially, the cadets sponsored their traditional winter formal plus many informal date parties. Men were pledged during fall quarter with formal initiation ceremonies capping their pledge session. Each year, the group also selects a co-ed as sponsor. An open smoker began the fall Company K activities.

Out- standing senior and junior Army ROTC cadets are selected for membership in this growing military or- ganization. Grades ore primary for affiliation with Scabbard and Blade, but military know-how is also stressed. Topping the group ' s many campus activities are parti- cipation in Homecoming, Armed Forces Day, Memor- ial Day and Campus Day. It is the men of Scabbard and Blade who form the traditional Sabre Arch for the Military Ball queen and her attendants at the annual formal dance, co- sponsored by the Army and Air Force ROTC units on campus. Time is found also for the sponsorship of an an- nual dance held yearly at the Ravenna Arsenal. Nationally, the organization dates bock to 1904, when it was founded at the University of Wisconsin.

Air strategy is a primary problem confronting these cadets and through a series of lectures, they learn more and more about the art of deceptive air power. Professional speakers highlight the group ' s meetings, often offering colored slides or movies to better illustrate their topics. Pledges to Arnold Air Society are selected on the basis of their scholarship and are junior and senior men who have excelled in the ROTC classroom. These future commissioned or reserve officers ore thoroughly screened before being invited to join the elite ranks.

This organization is composed of forty-four mem- ber attachments with headquarters at the University of Omaha. Field trips to Canton, Youngstown and Eglin Air Force Base in Florida are part of the agenda that the group participates in. An important part of the group is their sponsoring of the Kent Ground Observer Corps post which is located on the top of Kent Hall. Composed of freshmen and sophomore ROTC stu- dents, as basic cadets, this group has the some re- quirements as the original honor squadron. Membership in the organization requires a 2.5 ROTC average and a 2.25 over all accumulative.

Wesley Foundation Students of all faiths ore invited to participate in functions of KSU ' s loco! Wesley Foundation. The foundation is only one of many supported by the Methodist church. Among other activities, Wesleyons take port in intromurals, dramatics, choir, Bible Study and wor- ship groups. The group also has its own newspaper. Annually they hold a Fall and Winter retreat. If you find yourself in the mood for a home cooked dinner, these students con be found cooking their own cost supper Sunday nights at the Metho- dist Church. After the dinner, members have discussions or a program and worship service. This year, the Rev. Henry H. Crane, pastor of Grace Methodist church in Detroit spoke during Re- ligious Emphasis Week on campus. The prominent preacher and lecturer has spoken at many colleges throughout the country. 138 Sigma Theta Epsilon Religion is the leading light in the lives of the men of Sigma Theta Epsilon, Methodist men ' s hon- orary. However, although the establishment of Christ- ian ideals on campus are high in the goals of the Sigma chapter, there is time for social enjoyment, too Locally, the group offers its services as ushers for Sunday services at the Methodist church. It also aids in the annual presentation of Religious Emphasis Week. By the same standard, the men of Sigma Theta Epsilon join with their sister sorority. Kappa Phi, in the sponsorship of an annual Sweetheart dance. They also hold a Founder ' s Day weekend each spring quar- ter and feature a variety of speaker programs. Nor are they lax in campus participation. Through competent concentration, they join in Campus Day and Homecoming activities and annually sponsor an entrant in the Songfest contest. Service programs, such as aiding in the annual World Service Fund collection, are also included in the yearly projects of Sigma Theta Epsilon Sigma Theta Epsilon officers: Left, Roy Mollarnee, Sec; Dave W.

Newmanites join prior to eight o ' clocks for o cooperative celebration of Mass, held daily in the Student Union Newman Club Lost year the Newman Club undertook the re- modeling of a new center. This year, they have gone a step further in purchasing land next to KSU ' s campus for a Catholic chapel and student center. Parish collections from St. Patrick ' s church and a donation from the Youngstown bishop paid for the new property. Some 12 00 to 1500 Catholic students on campus will be served by the proposed new center. The build- ing will include among other things, a library, social hall, chapel, kitchen and quarters for the chaplain and custodian. A drive for funds began by the club as soon as the purchase was made known. The club ' s business is directed by the Rev. John J. Daum. Newman Club activities include two all-University formals and frequent informal dances, intramural sports, and others. The group also puts out its own paper, The Newmanite.

Lutheran Student Fellowship For the pause that refreshes the spiritual mind, students are welcomed to drop into the Lutheran Student Center. Here they will be greeted by members of the Lutheran Student Fellowship. This group was organized to afford Lutheran stu- dents monthly religious activities so they may better understand their religion and lead a more Christian life. In this way, they are performing a better service to Kent and their communities. The Lutheranites are proud of their Student Cen- ter which is open all day and is furnished with such relaxing articles as card tables, TV, periodicals, and religious books, all available to the students. The Lutheran Fellowship rounds out its program by providing social activities for the members. These include the Freshmen reception and the annual Town and Gown dinner. Nor would the year be complete without the popular winter and summer camping trips. These events are made possible by hayrides, cost dinners and square dances.

Gamma Delta meets weekly in the Lutheran Student Center for cost suppers on Sunday nights and on Wednesday nights for special programs at which time either films are shown or guest speakers talk. Winter quarter, the students hold a regional winter camp. They also attended the dedication of the University Lutheran Chapel in Columbus, Ohio During Religious Emphasis Week, the group showed the film, Martin Luther which was well attended Gamma Delta is a relatively new organization, having gone active on April 4, 1954. In two years, its membership has climbed and kept a steady maximum. The first anniversary of the chapter was cele- brated on April 13, 1955 with a special banquet.

Joe Tirpok Religion Thru Service Eight national Protestant denominations are rep- resented in UCF — United Christian Fellowship. UCF is one of five such religious groups in the United States. The denominations represented are: Baptist, Con- gregational. Disciples of Christ, Episcopal, Evan- gelical and Reformed, Evangelical United Brethren, Presbyterian, and Universalist. Retreats are held each spring and fall. During winter quarter, a semi-formal dance is held. Other activities carried on by UCF are Bible study every Thursday night and a faith study on Monday nights. A new service started within the past year by UCF is the workday. UCFers sign a list for times when they are available to work for people in the commun- ity and are paid a fee which they share with the re- ligious group. Another well-known service performed by this group are the sales of sandwiches and coffee to the dorms and fraternities. They have now added ice cream and milk to this line. Allow me , remarks one UCFer to another as he wields the pot at the Sunday evening cost supper. The cost suppers of UCF hove proved to be some of the cultural and social highlights of the year for the members. 144 1 I UCF CABINET, left to right, row 1 : Janet Taylor, Sec. ; Charlotte Sargent, Beverly Newton, Pres.; Dave Mar- tin, Vice Pres.; Ginny Arnold, Treas.; Wendell Mc- I 5 Elwee, Sylvia Oury. Row 2: Marilyn Graham, Janet Moore, Bud Geisler, Bill Hurt, Rev. William Laurie, Ann Winbigler, Joan Switka, Eva Kitzmiller. United Christian Fellowship UCF brings in different speakers, usually pastors from neighboring communities to speak at their cof- fee hours which are held on Wednesday afternoons. In line with this, UCF sends out deputation teams who attend the eight different denominational churches and perform in part of the service or some- times take over on entire service themselves. Many religious leaders of the nation are closely watching this group, since UCF is a relatively new organization and just out of the experimental stage. A board of trustees composed of thirty-six ministers and laymen, together with professors and administra- tors of the University, supervise the policies, personnel and general operations of UCF. Although eight churches moke up this group, any student, no matter what denomination, may join United Christian Fellowship. UCF meetings some- times bring in as many as sixty students to hear the different topics that are brought up. Others join the cost suppers held on Sunday nights. It ' s time for serious thought to this business of wor- ship — so UCF ' ers take time out for religious clinics. 145 HILLEL, left to right, row 1 : Dr. Lawrence Kaplan, Joan Siebenaler, Bob Greenberger, Marcia Levine, Mel Bernbaum, Helen Rosen.

Rabbi Theodore Stein- berg of Warren, Hillel experienced its finest year on the Kent campus. In November the members of Hillel held their first annual installation dinner dance. Despite the inclement weather, the dance was well attended and marked a fine starting point for the Jewish students on campus. A bowling party, square dance and fes- tival parties also highlighted the social calendar. Social activities are not the real purpose of the Hillel Councellorship, however. Formed for the pur- pose of giving Jewish students a common meeting ground the Kent Hillel foundation has succeeded ably in this respect. During Religious Emphasis Week Hillel also spon- sored a brief service before the speech of Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver. This program was to give everyone a general idea of the fundamental purposes of the Jewish religion. 146 The Honorary and Professional Organizations Delta Sigma Pi Frequent trips to near-by industries highlight the Delta Sigma Pi calendar. In addition, the 2.25 point average required for membership keeps the men near the top in over-all scholarship. Bock on the social front, the Delta Sigs each year hold a dinner dance, a Founder ' s Day banquet and a Monte Carlo party. Also included on the an- nual agendo is a series of date parties. Thirty hours of credit in the College of Business Administration is another prerequisite for membership in Delta Sigma Pi. Nationally, the organization was founded in No- vember of 1907 at New York University. It includes eighty-five collegiate chapters. Symbolic of the Delta Sigs is its flower — the red rose. It is the same flower that is presented to the date of each member at the annual winter formal.

Ever since 1942 when the business and com- merce professional fraternity came to Kent State, the brothers of Delta Sig hove been active in University affairs. Although business is the tie that binds the men together, they do not lack social life. Each memorable campus event — Campus Day, Homecoming, Pork Barrel — finds them actively participating for shiny gold first place trophies. Actually, the fraternity has been a member of the campus organizational setup since 1938 when the local group was recognized. It was then known as Delta Kappa Psi, a name to be discarded four years later. Each year, the group plans monthly dinner meet- ings which feature top-notch speakers in the field of business and commerce. Moreover, the men of Delta Sigma Pi present an annual award to the student in the College of Business Administration who graduates with the highest cumulative point average. The Dean came to dinner and stayed to host a deluge of queries from the interested men of Delta Sigma Pi. Singing proves popular with these business-minded men of Delta Sigma Pi, national commerce group.

Institute of Architects An ingenue on the University campus, the local unit of the Institute of Architects was granted a stu- dent charter in February of 1955. Since that time, the organization has grown by leaps and bounds. With a united interest in the profession of archi- tecture, members work together to acquire noted speakers in the field plus planning dinner meeting and field trips. The group ' s main project is an annual meeting for the northeastern Ohio AIA architects. Included on the program is judging of local talent entries in a competitive contest. Professionally, the group is an aid to members. It assures them of associate membership in any senior chapter of the Institute. Seniors are also aided in finding employment through affiliation with the student chapter. Primarily, the chapter is interested in professional growth, rather than social. It in- creases understanding between student and profes- sional men, and prides itself on fellowship and co- operation. Institute of Architect officers, left: Joseph T. Morbito, Adv.; Paul Ricciuti, Sec; Roy Huston, Treas.; Gordon Paulus, Pres. 150 Businessmen and women help to prepare for future careers in industry, commerce, government and man- agement through KSU ' s Society for the Advancement of Management. SAM is open to all sophomore students in the College of Business who maintain a 2.5 cumulative average. The society was founded for the purpose of helping business administration students to broaden their understanding of classroom experiences. Stu- dents also may become aware of advantages of be- coming acquainted with men well-known in the business field. The annual spring banquet boasts of a famous speaker from the business field. Members of the so- ciety attend speeches and banquets sponsored by the Akron chapter of SAM. This also proves a he ' p in meeting future employers. A highlight of the annual Society for the Advance- ment of Management banquet is the naming of an outstanding student in the business management field. The benefits of scientific advancement are shown this way. Jl ■ ' ' ■ MB i 3 .. B 1 K SAM officers, Left: Bruce Evans, Pres.; Bob Drath, Vice Pres.; John Bashor, Prog.

In addition, the SDXers join with the Akron Pro- fessional chapter for dinner meetings at which nationally known speakers are featured. More in line with their field of major endeavor, they aid in the presentation of the annual Northeastern Ohio Scholastic Press Association clinic at which they single-handedly sponsor the dramatized news event. Each spring, Sigma Delta Chi presents a trophy to the outstanding senior journalism graduate at the publications banquet.

In the service fraternity ' s ranks can be found the majority of the campus BMOC ' s — chosen for their leadership and scholarship. Membership in Blue Key comes only through constant devotion and desire to excel in the many cogs of University machinery. Serving as hosts for Campus Day and Homecoming ore but a minute part of the duties which each Blue Key member strives to fulfill. The men also join Card- inal Key, women ' s service group, in the co-sponsor- ship of Penny Carnival, the proceeds of which are do- nated to a scholarship fund. But perhaps the service for which Blue Key is best known among undergraduates is the annual editing and publishing of the Student Directory without which many a campus romance would not blossom and many a Christmas card would be misdirected. Service, is in- deed offered by the men of Blue Key. 154 CARDINAL KEY, left to right, row 1: JoEldo Delo, Judy Kropp, JoAnn Smith, Arlene Kuzak, Roe Prosser, Carol Cooper.

Cardinal Key Tops in University service, scholarship and lead- ership — these are the qualifications for membership in Cardinal Key, women ' s service honorary. Open only to upperc!ass women, membership in Cardinal Key represents the highest achievement by a co-ed. Eligibility requires a 2.5 cumulative point overage and versatility of activities. Members are selected on a point basis. Among the projects of the group is co-sponsorshi p of Penny Carnival with Blue Key, the men ' s service honorary, and the presentation each year of the Card- inal Key scholarship. A tea is given in honor of the recipient during fall quarter. Come Campus Day, members of Cardinal Key form an honor procession for the May Queen and members of her court. Pledges are recognized by the symbolic red pledge ribbon and the out-sized cardinal key they are re- quired to wear prior to activation. This year, the group added a key emblem for the local chapter.

Future Teachers of America Active in many University pies, the members of FTA frequently sponsor high school groups who desire tours of Kent State ' s facilities. They also plan activ- ities for these groups and are active in northeastern Ohio pre-teaching activities and conferences. Freshmen first learn of the many-faceted inter- ests of FTA when they attend the organ ization ' s Frosh Tea at which the newcomers mingle with the Presi- dent, deans and faculty members. Nor is the group inactive socially — it annually joins with other campus groups for parties and picnics. Each spring a joint meeting is held with the Industrial Arts club. A weiner roast is also a high point on the FTA spring calendar. More in line with their future careers, the Future Teachers of America club holds an annual Christmas party for the underprivileged children in the Kent area. At this function, they play collective Santa Clous to youngsters similar to those they may some- day be called upon to instruct. 158 Santa Claus Corps Aid Career-minded Education majors find fellowship and inspiration among their own kind in the ranks of FTA — Future Teachers of America. Training for the coming generation of school children are the club ' s members through speakers and practice of their own choosing. Included in the mem- bership are students majoring in many fields — his- tory, biology, industrial arts, and home economics — to name but a few. No lines are drawn as to interest. The FTAers may be interested in kindergarten-primary, elemen- tary, or secondary education. However, they are unit- ed in the common interest of better and more well- rounded education for the children-to-be of their classmates. It is not surprising that the organization ' s en- rollment has increased amazingly through the years for Kent State University has long been noted for its outstanding College of Education. Currently, the club boasts a membership which approaches upwards into the hundred mark. Playing Santa Claus provides extra-special holiday joy for FTAers who host Kent ' s underprivileged children.

But KSU ' s chem- ical society has its lighter side as we ' l as a serious side, with field trips, group-spon:ored banquets and picnics. The organization gives science students pride in their profession and provides an opportunity for members to meet men in the field.

En- couragement of scholarship is provided by a loan fund which helps members to keep on with their edu- cation. The honorary also presents a scholarship key to the senior woman with the highest business adminis- tration average. Other projects are done by the group for both the University and the community. At business meetings, distinguished women in the field of business are invited to be guest speakers. At this time, the girls learn of the important role that has been taken over by women in the busin ess field.

One of the requirements for member- ship into this organization states that a member must have previous training in this group and the de- sire to do service. Not an honorary. Alpha Phi Omega functions as the service group on campus providing errand runners, baby sitters, floor sweepers or what have you for the school. A national service fraternity, men of Alpha Phi Omega come from every field of learning. One of their most well-known contributions to the University is that of the Victory Bell which is rung every time there is a Kent victory. Sounding like a senior boy scout organization, the fraternity stresses service to the University, the coun- try, the community and to themselves. Alpha Phi Omega sponsors the annual barber- shop quartet contest which gives the amateur groups their chance to show off warbling talents. 164 Industrial Arts Club Drawn together by a common interest in designing, building and planning, members of the Industrial Arts club meet with each other to further these interests. The organization is active socially and culturally on campus and even takes an energetic part in in- tramural sports. Club programs include speakers in the industrial arts field who lend their experience and knowledge to the members. On the social side, the I. A. club holds a barn dance with the Elementary Education club, an annual semi-formal and a banquet with architect and aviation majors. Art exhibits, woodworking, and house designing are projects the club works on throughout the year. A chance to develop their creativity and to work on hobbies or projects is given to the members of the I. A. club along with critical guidance by instructors in the field. Members also experience the judgment of students who come to view their exhibits on display in the Industrial Arts building.

The organization was started on Kent ' s campus in 1953 and has been thriving ever since. Pi Omega Pi is a national honorary fraternity for business educa- tion majors and requires high standards for member- ship into its group. The honorary meets twice a month at which times projects for the year are planned and executed. The group performs services for both the University and civic organizations. They also prepare materials for classes in business education. Members of this business group are selected for their scholarship, citizenship, service and ethics. A 3.0 overage in education and business subjects and a 2.5 average in all other courses taken are also required. Membership in this group is considered an honor by those in the business education field. Nope, it only the ' s not a throwback to prehistoric days, — it ' s Pi Omega Pi ' s getting in the shorthand swing. 166 Flying Club Flying appeals to many people because there seems to be a certain glamour attached to it. For Kent State ' s students who feel like taking off into the wild blue yonder, there is a club on the campus which tries to fulfill their desire. The Flying Club provides the planes at a minimum cost, and some instruction. They have in their possession, several light planes and a glider. Using the facilities of the University airport on Route 5, the club holds flying exhibitions from this field. Many of the members of the club ore veterans with flying experience, but newcomers are welcomed too. Meetings are held wherein the members discuss the latest in aviation techniques and progress. But for pure enjoyment, they take off and fly their planes. The only requirement that is needed to join, is the desire to fly. The group has a corporation charter granted to them by the state and was one of the first of its kind to be established. Flying Club officers: seated, Bob Andrews, Sec; Dick Hole, Vice Pres.

Recognizing the importance of research work, membership in the group is open to students and out- standing men in industrial arts. A prospective mem- bership booklet was a recently completed project of the fraternity. CoUegiates With their sights set on attaining recognition as a local fraternity, the CoUegiates this year made rapid strides toward their goal. During their first year as an organized social group, the members made their mark on campus, wearing gray jackets with the red, black and white emblem. In University activities, the banner of the CoUegi- ates flew over a Homecoming decoration. Campus Day float and Pork Barrel skit. And on the social front, parties galore decorated the calendar. Collegiate teams flourished in intramural ath- letics. Purchase of the former Sig Ep house on Lincoln street assured them a permanent place on the Univer- sity campus. Weekly, the chapter makes an award to an outstanding member. Collegiate officers: left, Mike Kupersanin, Sec; Paul Sturman, Vice Pres.; Earl Brown, Pres. Seated: Byron Headley, Treas.

The original seven members operated well as a unit and soon word got around. By the end of spring quarter, twenty-six men called themselves the Col- legiates. Last fall found eighteen members back at Kent. The club ' s new location on South Lincoln brought the men closer to campus activities and along with the tedious work of redecorating the house, helped them develop that necessary feeling of brotherhood. The Collegiote ' s recent incorporation by the State of Ohio was another step forward. Under the compe- tent guidance of the faculty advisors, Mr. Robert Finley and Mr. Louis Harris, the club has laid a firm foundation. Qualifications for membership though not rigid, are strictly adherred to. The ultimate goal of the club is to pledge a national fraternity. Time for a Collegian coffee break! And the brothers assemble about the house stove to refuel on hot Java. A bull session and a chance to discuss the day ' s campus activity offer a welcome diversion for the well-dressed members of Kent ' s local campus fraternity. Vets Club Now a three-year veteran itself, KSU ' s veterans club has increased in membership over the period. In the beginning, the club was little more than an idea firmly implanted in the minds of four returning Korea servicemen. From that, it became a leader on campus voice, the voice of the former G.I. Today its membership ros- ter numbers in the hundreds. Its projects include participation in various campus activities, and these activities have not been curtailed by the growing surge of veterans to go Greek. The power of the veterans ' organization has been felt in all facets of University activity — at the polls, within the student administration and on the social front. In addition, it has proved a powerful organiza- tion in obtaining well-deserved recognition for the undergraduate G.l. ' s. Included on the group ' s calendar are a series of fortnightly meetings, social events and an opportunity to make new friends among their own contemporaries.

CS fS o V Inter-Group Inter-racial and inter-religious . . . that ' s Inter- Group of Kent State. Purely a local organization, this club was founded in 1 954. Off to a good start, the group took first prize in the independent men ' s division on Campus Day. They also sponsored National Brotherhood Week during the 1956 winter quarter. Another project of Inter-Group is to bring boys in from the Hudson Boys ' Camp to see the various ploys and programs that are given on campus. They hold parties just for the club members and other social events that ore given on a non-pay basis. During fall quarter, several members attended a Human Rela- tions Conference in Willoughby, Ohio, which was sponsored by the Cleveland Council of Human Rela- tions. For Religious Emphasis Week, Inter-Group formed panels and gave talks before the other religious groups on campus. Planning to build their membership and enter more competitive activities will keep this club busy in the future. Inter-Group officers: left, Marilyn Jackson, Cor.

Fraternities - -- p. 1 92-21 9 Sororities ...p. 220-235 Dormitories p. 236-247 Important in the development of well- rounded adults are the so-called living groups — those University organizations which offer experience in learning to get along socially as well as academically. Such are the various fraternities, sororities and dormitories on campus — an experience in cooperation, in conversation, and in man- agement. Living groups provide the other side of the University coin — the side of education which deals not in grades, but in results. The Greeks form a tightly-knit society of their own on campus and together and individually they work for achievement for the University. Competition sparks this living group so- ciety. Always there is the spirit of winning — in social competition, in athletics, in a variety of unrelated areas. But, living is the lesson. 190 191 PANHELLENIC, left to right, row 1 ; Rosanne Modar- elli, Beverly McGirr, Rae Prosser, Arlene Kuzak, Toni Kramer, Peg Van Almen, Carol Cooper, Gladys Fuller.

Panhellenic Council With three delegates from each sorority making up the organization, Panhellenic acts as the mediator for the Greek groups and unaffiliated women. Purposely set up to encourage personal develop- ment of its members, Panhellenic strives to make sorority life an opportunity for the affiliated coeds. Year after year, the Council has determined rush rules, procedures, schedules and penalties for the eight-member sororities on campus. Attempting to create a better system of rushing, freshman rushing was deferred until Winter quarter, putting sororities on the same basis as fraternities. As a step towards creating a high standard of scholastic achievement, Panhellenic presents an an- nual Scholarship cup to the sorority maintaining the highest average. The award is made on Honors Day when it is presented to the president of the outstanding group. Cooperating with other women ' s organizations on campus, Panhellenic helps to put out the Freshman women ' s handbook, The Kent Coed. Panhellenic officers: left.

IPC ' s official purpose is to better the rela- tions between fraternities and the University. Constitutional changes to benefit both the po- tential pledge and the fraternity were incor- porated this year in an effort to interest more men in Greek life. Co-sponsors of the first Greek Week, IPC brought the fraternity situation before the entire student body, through its system of ex- change dinners, community help and campus activities. The council also awards trophies to the intramural winners in the nine major sports and presents an award to the fraternity with the highest scholarship for the school year.

Phi Delt ' s annual party for the deaf children of Kent is an outstanding example of the part the chapter is playing, not only in campus life, but also in community life. The yearly winter formal is the social high- light of the year for the men of Phi Delta Theta . . . also the She Delta Theta week, begun last year, continued in fine manner as Kent coeds went through seven days of work similar to their male counterparts. For two years, the Phi Delts have been intra- mural football champions and for one year, have been all-University champs. Active in campus affairs, the men of the blue and white claim class officers. Student Council officers and members in other im- portant functions. Initiation services were held for the men of Phi Gamma Theta, the loca l organization, which is now known as Phi Delta Theta, who graduated before the chapter went national . . . and then there is their well-known tug-of- war held at Rowboat Regatta. Phi Delta Theta ' s Homecoming decoration scored high in the judges ' eyes — winning third place. Looking ahead to Campus Day songfest competition, the Phi Delts find that melody spells leisure as well evidenced by this eager group of songsters. 205 PHI SIGMA KAPPA, left to right, row 1 : Dr. James T.

Main Colors: silver and magenta Philanthropy: Cerebral Palsy fund Trophies Take Over Top Priority Phi Sigma Kappa spent a busy year making room for new trophies on their mantel . . . . . . they were the winners in the annual May Day Relays fraternity division last Spring. When Homecoming, 1955, rolled around, the chapter had another new trophy. This one was for first place among fraternities for their decorations. Socially, the annual Phi Sigma Kappa Snow- ball dance was held during the winter quarter with appropriate weather . . . when the temp- erature changed, the men began getting ready for their spring formal. Active in intramural sports, the Phi Sigs took a part in the University sports program. During the spring quarter, the men co- hosted the Phi Sigma Kappa Region Four Conclave with the Akron chapter. Combin- ing their two prime requisites of superior scholarship and social living, the men of 324 Main continued to make progress in both fields. Active in all University affairs, the Phi Sigs work together, study together and play to- gether to form a well knit social unit. There ' s no end to the plague of pledging — at least not at the Phi Sigma Kappa house. Pledges, under the watchful eye of that first-place falcon, mop up. It ' s the late, late movie that provides itr piration to Phi Sigs before starting the nightly grind Variety Spices Up SAE Events Sigma Alpha Epsilon Founded at the University of Alabama in 1856 Organized on campus in 1949 by Canton exten- sion students Started as a local fraternity, Sigma Delta One of 127 active chapters Flower : violet Largest fraternity in the United States Sigma Alpha Epsilon finds time to combine athletic, social and scholastic activities. In intra- mural sports, SAE ' s copped titles and champion- ships in basketball and softball. The chapter was also victorious in the Campus Day songfest, winning the first place trophy . . . not content with these trophies, the Sig Alphs took second place in Rowboat Regatta, May Day Relays, and interfraternity golf. The men also finished third in the fraternity division of intramural bowling. BMOC ' s include an editor of the Stater, secre- tary of Interfraternity Council, and chairman of the Nu-K political party. Members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon are also active in varsity sports, five mem- bers being lettermen. On the social agenda, one exchange dinner per week is usually on the program . . . the Anniver- sary Ball, held in December, celebrates SAE ' s in- stallation into the national fraternity. Queen of the dance is a Kent coed who is chosen by Dick Powell, an SAE who made good in Hollywood . . . during spring quarter the Sweetheart Formal is the highlight of the social season. Sig Alphs will never lack for musical entertainment as long as this combo is providing the refrains. Scanning the scores ore the new-hungry sports ad- dicts of SAE compete with a kibitzing trio. 208 SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON, left fo right, row I : Hugh R. Pierce, Bill J. Leonard, Bud E.

Enjoying their first full year of occupancy since the dormitory construction, the residents of South Terrace this year joined with their North Terrace hall neighbors to sponsor the first dorm formal — a whomp- ing success with 400 couples in attendance. The South Terrace girls also joined with North to make the dorm a gala holiday scene during the week prior to Christmas. Festive pine, multi-colored trees and huge gold stars added to the decorations. Cooperation is the South Terrace key to success. And cooperation comes in many guises. Cooperation with the dorm counselors, corridor leaders, friends and with the twin dormitory. Highlight of any quarter are fraternity serenades in the spacious main lounge before the floor-length glass windows. — _, South Terrace Hall HOUSE COUNCIL, left to right, row 1 : Betty Barcich, Sec; Jan Feiten, Fire Warden; Carol Wasyk, Vice Pres.; Sue Quigley, Pres.; Marilyn Knight, Treas.; Pat Adams, Soc.

Designs In Modern The other half of the twin Terraces, South Terrace complements North in every conceivable way. Also well equipped with all the conveniences of any modern hotel. South Terrace is a separate self-governing oper- ation completely opart from its counterpart. However, the girls of South Terrace claim larger territory as both cafeterias are added on to the South portion of the building as is the bakery on the second floor. It is through the South Terrace recreation room that lines wend their nightly way to dinner. Tripling this year, the dorm houses girls of all classes — from freshman to graduate student. Here, it is possible to observe the woman ' s world of a Uni- versity completely separated from the classtime scene of un-cold-creamed coeds. 237 HOUSE COUNCIL, left to right, seated: Carol Hull, ta, Jo Anne Saluppo, Mary Ann Flickeisen, Mary Myrna Miethke, Mary Dowos, Rose Marie Macek, Vincent.

Within its pink corridors are housed campus leaders in a variety of activities. But it is in cooperative living that North Terrace really excels. The gals work together under the expert guidance of Mrs. Ethel Russell, resident housemother, for such top all-University activities as Homecoming. Campus Day, and Pork Barrel. In addition, the dorm is self- government in operation. Officers are elected early in fall quarter and serve as a dorm council in doling out campuses for misdemeanors. Corridor leaders keep the noise down during quiet hours as they patrol the dim halls, guarding the study habits of the residents.

North Terrace is completely equipped with guest rooms, mail service, linen service, and luxurious lounge. In addition, snack machines offer solace to the dateless and food for thought while studying. Laundry rooms and phone stalls add to the decor and provide North Terrace residents with up-to-date equipment. Sharing the main lounge with South Ter- race residents is a feature of study dates. In addition, each of the wings has a recreation lounge with ping- pong tables and television. Each individual room now houses three girls. A bunk bed, a single bed, three desks, two bureaus, and a lounge chair contrast the print drapes in each room. Housemothers: Mrs. Esther Kern, Asst.; Mrs. Ethel M. Rus- sell, Res.

Moulton Hall Lowest building on the University totem pole, Moulton hall dotes back to 1917. Since its first year of occupancy, the dormitory has housed girls of every race and religion. This year, for the first time in many, the dorm was not restricted to freshmen. Also for the first time in recent years, the recreation rooms were not crowded into dormitory living room for the overflow of frosh that crowds the campus each fall. However, in spite of the basic changes, Moulton residents took over where their former residents had left off. Moultonites immediately went to work on decorations for Homecoming. Some turned their talents to athletics, participating for the Moulton intramural teams.

That is Lowry Hall, chosen by a host of upper- classmen as their place of residence for 1955-56. Formerly, Lowry housed primarily sophomore co-eds, but with the addition of Terrace, ' ast year ' s returning students were given first choice as to their residence hall and a surprising number picked Lowry. Because it is the smallest of the women ' s resi- dences on campus, Lowry offers a unity of purpose found hard to duplicate in the larger dorms. It also is closest to the classrooms, thus making it possible to catch an extra five minutes of sleep before making that eight o ' clock class. Included in Lowry is a television lounge and study rooms, converted for use from the former cafe- teria. The rooms, primarily doubles, are spacious and homey. Each is equipped with a washstand, un- like newer Terrace. A closely-knit group are the Lowryites — ranking high in fellowship, cooperation and scholarship. Margie Milligan operates the switchboard as Miss Su- san Disbrow and Miss Mary Jo Clark check the mail. 243 Engleman ' s Governing Body, left to right, row 1 : Alice Madden, Peggy McQuilkin, Nancy Lee, Vice Pres.; Marilyn Rauschert, Fire Chief.

Life is far from dull as witnessed by a small flood that awakened the girls one morning after a heavy rain. Keeping peace and harmony between the residents are the counselors and housemother who listen to the complaints end problems and in return offer their understanding and advice. The residents of Engleman Hall present many pretty smiles as they turn out en masse for the Burr photo. HOUSE COUNCIL, left to right, row 1: James Doo- little, Dove Lontz, Louis Rubsam, Jerry Martan.

Stopher Hall The only on-campus living residence hall for men. Stopher Hall offers on adventure in cooperation for its occupants. Almost completely student-operated, Stopher is governed by a council composed of representatives from the various corridors of the building. These upper-class guides serve to orientate incoming fresh- men in the ways of dormitory living as well as aiding them in general University etiquette. Relatively new in the campus picture, Stopher is currently undergoing enlargement as additional hous- ing, expected to accommodate some 250 more men, is being hinged onto the main building. A spacious, glassed-in cafeteria is perhaps the most eye-catching feature of Stopher. Above the cafeteria is a terrace, for dancing in warm months. Residents have the added convenience of electric wash machines and television. Primarily the dorm consists of double rooms, but a few singles and triples are scattered throughout the structure.

This building will also house 360 men, the some number as the new women ' s structure. The dorm will actually be on addition to Stopher Hall, and will be located southeast and northeast of the hall. The addition will be joined to the older building at the kitchen and dining hall. Men will have to go outside to get from one build- ing to the other, thus making this a rather complete living quarter in itself. The dormitory will have its own dining hall and recreation facilities. The supple- ment will also have an apartment for the house man- ager and one for his assistant. Rooms will be on the modern side also, decorated in the same manner as Stopher. There will be three men to a room.

A for cry from what the finished product will be like. New Women ' s Dorm Although a steel shortage had delayed the con- struction, the girl ' s dorm which is still unnamed, will be completed by this coming fall in time for the open- ing of the Fall quarter. The dormitory will house about 360 coeds instead of the previously planned 250, since there will be three girls in a room. Modern furnishings will decor- ate the new structure on the same plane as Terrace Hall. A dining hall and recreation room will be included as part of the dorm. The dining hall will be used only for the girls living there. Located south of Terrace Hall, which was just built the previous year, the building will be a welcome addition to the campus, as the housing shortage on campus is limited. Kent State ' s aim is to have all University women living on campus. 247 -vJi - ? ' ?

Kent State inter-collegiate teams consistently place at or near the top in every sport. The intramural programs draw hundreds of entries from both social organizations and ath- letically-minded individuals.

Fullback Bill Blair does some fancy swivel-hipping as he evades a bevy of Waynesburg men in Kent ' s 14-0 win. 252 Flashes Cop First From Broncs The 1955 football season may not have been as sparkling, record-wise, as the banner 8-1 season achieved by the Golden Flashes of a year earlier. But in every other way last Fall ' s campaign stacks up as the most significant in Kent State ' s 35-year grid history. Coach Trev Rees, in bringing home his tenth winner in 10 years at the helm, led his Flashes to six wins, two losses and a tie — still one of the best records on the University ' s books. And considering the calibre of the opposition, this may well have been the best Kent team of all time. The two losses were to power- ful Dayton and undefeated Miami, two teams just a step away from the big time . But aside from the toughest schedule in history, the season was significant in other ways. A second place tie in the Mid-American Conference, rated as the most rugged small-college loop in the nation, was certainly a proud accomplishment. Then too, 1955 saw all previous KSU attendance figures shattered. Capacity crowds of 13,000 sot in on the Homecoming gome with Marshall and the MAC showdown with Miami, the latter receiving nationwide attention through radio pick-ups, coast-to-coast, over CBS network. --f-- Death grip is put on a pass by KSU End Kenny as a Miami tackier hustles up to stop the Flying Redlin Flash.

Looking pained by it all is Halfback Adam Robertson as he readies for contact with two Waynesburg men. 253 Flashes Level OU Pre-season hopes of on undefeated season were popped right off the bat as Bowling Green held the favored Flashes to a 6-6 tie. A severe case of fumbilitis and unfortunate pass interceptions literally gave Dayton a 26-1 3 triumph over Kent. But a 33-2 victory over B-W a week later put the Flashes in the win column and a 20-14 upset win over perennially-powerful Ohio U the next week tabbed them as a real powerhouse. Rees had con- ceived the idea of alternating equally-balanced teams at the end of each period, and this two-platooning proved to be the key to the Flashes new-found success. A 39-6 Homecoming massacre of a good Marshall team raised enthusiasm to fever-pitch for the crucial battle with Miami the next week. With the loop title at stake, this was THE game of the year. The Flashes moved to an early 7-0 lead over the Big Ten foe, but faltered and the final score, 19-7. The remainder of the season was anticlimatic. The Flashes toyed with Toledo, 27-0; a narrow 14-0 win over a stubborn Waynesburg crew; and in the final gome. Western Michigan fell 25-14.

Cagers Score 108 Three Times Playing their first season under returning Coach Dave McDowell, the Flashes went on to post their best rec- ord in four years. Playing the most aggressive ball seen at Kent in many years, the cagers ' record of 10 wins and 1 1 losses was posted in a hustling league where even the weak sisters are capable of knocking off the top dogs. Attendance for the year was up 50 per cent over the previous year. The big attraction was a team that three times during the year scored 108 points, to shatter the old school scoring mark. Adding another new record was sophomore guard Jim Gorsline, who hit on 49.3 per cent of his field goal attempts for the season. Another record-shattering mark was the 83.6 points per game team average the F!ashes hung up during the season. Other notable incidents of the season saw Kent defeat Western Michigan for the first time since KSU joined the MAC in 1 951 . The Flashes also rang up 108 points and come within 2 points of defeating eventual MAC champion Marshall on Marshall ' s home floor.

Facing a fast moving Wittenberg team early in the season, the Flashes carved out a two-point victory to the tune of 69-61. This was the team ' s first triumph after two close losses on their initial road trip. Moving from fast to faster company, Dave Mc- Dowell ' s hoopsters ran up against Marshall College ' s Thundering Herd, eventual Mid American Confer- ence champs and the MAC representative in the NCAA tournaments. Held to a five-point lead at the intermission, the invaders from West Virginia bounced back to capture a 97-83 verdict, i n spite of Dan Potopsky ' s 26 point effort. In a later game at Huntington, where Marshall seldom if ever loses, the Flashes neatly pulled out the upset of the year. Behind Potopsky ' s 48 points, the Kent men scored 108 points against the high flying Green Wave, but lost by two. Potopsky ' s 48 points were only one mark away from his conference scoring record, which Spook had set the year before at Western Michigan. Facing Western Michigan ' s Broncos at home, Kent ' s cagers defeated the visitors, 97-90, behind red hot Jim Gorsline, who dropped in 28 points. This was Kent ' s initial win over a Bronc cage team in four years. Down on his knees against Marshall, Ke Edmunds eyes the situation as Potopsky nt State ' s watches.

The results of the contest produced a new MPE scoring record and tied the team high, set earlier against Marshall. The final score; Kent State 108, Indiana 58. Dan Potopsky led the scoring parade with 27 points closely followed by Bill Raybuck ' s 24. Alto- gether, nine players broke into the scoring column. However, the two real thrills of the season for the Flashes came in league games with Bowling Green. In Q road game at B-G, Larry Edmunds ' two last-minute free throws won a 72-70 verdict. In a return match at the MPE building. Dove Johnson ' s field goal from the side with 7 seconds remaining, saved a 93-91 verdict.

Wrestlers Run Up 6-24 Mark Under the expert guidance of veteran Coach Joe Begala, Kent ' s 1955-56 wrestling squad finished the season with a 6-2-1 record. With only one returning letterman, Begala built his team around a formidable nucleus of sophomores. Making the best showing of these newcomers was big heavyweight, Les Nader. Nader wound up the regular season and went on to capture the MAC top weight crown in the conference championships held at Kent. Only in his first year of varsity competition. Large Les shows as much promise as any Kent wrestler of the last few years. The Flashes were hurt by the early season loss of Phil Perkins, 177 pounds, and the last minute loss of Tom Butler, fast developing 177 pounder who injured his ribs shortly before the MAC championships. Ed Saloom, KSU 137 pounder, moves in for a cradle hold against Baldwin-Wallace as the Flashes triumph.

Loss of Dick Garner will leave a big gap at the 157 weight class for someone to fill. However, in the tough MAC, the Kent grapplers had a respectable 3-2 record. A bright star in the league picture for next season is the record of Kent ' s ' 55- ' 56 freshman team. The yearlings went through their three match schedule undefeated, dropping the tough B-G Falcons in their lost match, 17-16.

The tankers were sparked by Ron Reigler, Frank Anderson, Bill Haas, and Don Winter. Reigler, ma- chine-like swimmer with on unlimited supply of stam- ina, swam a myriad of events for Coach Bill Hoover ' s men. Anderson is the ex-Canton McKinley diving star who has continued his board feats at Kent, also swim- ming the shorter freestyle events. Winter is a back- stroker, while Haas along with Dave Imel, last year ' s captain, and Randy King are freewheeling free stylers and relay swimmers. Next year ' s team should be bolstered considerably in the diving and freestyle events by several promising freshmen who will move up from last year ' s yearling squad. In the MAC, always tough in any sport, KSU dropped verdicts to Miami, Ohio U and Bowling Green. Included among the Flashes victims were Wooster, Fenn, Kenyon, Carnegie Tech, Akron and Wittenberg. Kent ' s Frank Anderson, foreground, and Bill Haas, in the far outside lane, hit the water against Carnegie.

On Top Of Intramural Standings A two-way tie in total points between Delta Upsilon and Sigma Nu marked the intramural stand- ings at the end of Winter quarter. Only ping-pong, track, golf and Softball competition remained. Delta Upsilon, defending champion for two years in a row, had won both the fraternity and all-Univer- sity championships in volleyball, and the fraternity swimming title, there being no independent competition. Sigma Nu won the fraternity crowns in wrestling and basketball, losing the University cage title to the Has Beens. Phi Delta Theta, a close third in the all-sports competition, had won both the fraternity and all- University football titles. Phi Sigma Kappa beat DU for the bowling crown, then lost the University championship to the Bartenders. The spring sports race was expected to be close, since DU was the defending champ in ping-pong and runner-up in softball and track. Sigma Nu was run- ner-up in table tennis, and Theta Kappa Phi won golf. Sigma Alpha Epsilon, a dark horse for the title, won Softball in Spring, ' 55, and placed in golf.

Coach Matt Resick ' s charges showed flashes of brilliant baseball. At other times they looked as if they couldn ' t beat Depeyster ' s grade school team. The final tally showed nine wins, ten losses. Oddly, Kent often looked best while losing. Two of the setba cks were to Western Michigan, the second- best college team in the nation by virtue of their runner-up finish in the NCAA tourney. The Flashes could well have won both games from the Broncos. They dropped the first one 4-3 in eleven innings and it took a ninth inning rally by the champs to unseat Kent 9-7 in the second tilt. Individual star was pitcher Bob Harrison who com- piled the lowest earned-run average in the conference. A human roadblock in the form of Rudy all that is between this Ashland runner and Libertini is third base.

This game was a warm-up for two tough contests with the high-riding Broncs of Western Michigan. Kent lost two close games. Teammates wait for Third Sacker Rudy Libertini as he crosses home plate after blasting a home run during an early season home game. Libertini, both in the field and at bat led the Flashes to a 10-9 season record. Off to a quick start in the 100 against Bowling Green are Kent ' s Redding, Bloch and Rittichier. Ancient Sport Rolls On Over Years Track and field is, without doubt, the oldest of all sports, with beginnings that trace back to the days of ancient Greece. It is a unique sport in that an athlete is not only competing against other athletes, but against himself as well, constantly striving to run faster, jump higher, or throw something farther. The past year sow, for the first time, the running of a four-minute mile. Other barriers — both physical and psychological — are bound to be broken in the future. 273 Baton in relay lap hand, Ear in the Bowl on the second e Falcons won. Frosh Track Team Shows Promise The 1955 track season at Kent State was disap- pointing. When a team loses seven straight meets without a victory, it is certainly nothing but that. Yet, as behind every dark cloud, there was a silver lining. In this case, the silver lining was the freshman team. Possessing a glittering array of stars, it was perfectly capable of defeating the varsity ■ — which gives Coach jay Fischer a rosy outlook this spring. The 1955 Flash thinclads had some top perform- ers, but lacked depth. Valuable second and third places often went to the opposition only because Kent had no other contestants. Even still, the team might have won at least two meets. A 74 2-72 ' A loss to Case Tech could have gone either way; so likewise the 76-71 setback to Akron U. Despite the poor won- loss record, the season had its bright spots, among them two all-time records which fell off the Kent State books. Both were set, oddly enough, by athletes more famous perhaps for their exploits on the football team — Luke Owens who put the shot 48 ' Vi and Don Burke, who pole-vaulted to a new high of 1 3 feet even.

Kent decisioned Fenn, 7-2. Coach Karl Chestnutt, who steers the tennis for- tunes at Kent State, admitted before the start of the 1955 season that his netters would be lucky to win a single match. He ' d had a very good season in 1954, but graduation. Uncle Sam and scholastic deficiencies combined to deal him a severe manpower blow for the approaching campaign. Chestnutt ' s dire prediction was well-founded, for Kent didn ' t enjoy a winning season. But it was better than Chestnutt had let on. His men managed to win three, while losing six — a far cry from the winless spring he was prepared to face. The Flashes boasted at least three players who could play on almost any college team around — Shel- ley Wyman, Sam Portman and Harris Brown. But be- yond them the squad was inexperienced. It possessed a lot of youth, though, which bodes well for the future. Chestnutt ' s no win fear was silenced right off the bat as his racket-wielders topped Fenn 7-2. Twin triumphs over Youngstown provided the other two vic- tories, while losses were to Case, Oberlin, Western Reserve, Bowling Green, Marshall and John Carroll. 276 Sam Portman, number two man, blasts an overhead serve as the Flashes seek o victory over Youngstown.

Both were nine strokes behind the champion and host college, Ohio University. With only one returning let- terman, links coach Howard Morette planned his squad around three juniors and two sophomores. Joe Lazor, lone veteran, led the team with a 15.1 stroke average for the season. Close behind was Gordy Paulus with a 76 stroke per match overage. Other team members and their respective averages were: Floyd Paulus, 79.5; Jimmy Thompson, 81.6; Edward Zofko, 82.8, and Mike Norcia, 83 even.

Some are very long, others are short. Whether they are long or short, they all say the very same thing — Thanks . I would like to express my most sincere thanks to the top notch staff with which I worked. Without their loyal work it would have been impossible to turn out a publication of this size. Without the professional help of the companies which we work with, the book would be very difficult to produce. My most sincere thanks to Fred Noer, Russell Benson, Frank Persell and Margaret Carey of the Indianapolis Engraving Co.; Judson Rinebold of the Gray Printing Co.; and the Universal Bookbindery. If I were to start listing all the people I would like to thank, it would take pages and pages. Therefore, there are naturally many people who have worked on the book that I have not mentioned. Certain persons have done a great deal of work and ore not even listed on the staff. To these people I owe my deepest thanks. In every venture of this size there are bound to be mistakes even though everything has been checked and double-checked. I sincerely hope that none of the mistakes which might exist will offend anyone in any way. At times tempers flared and harsh words were spoken. The book was always in mind and nothing personal was ever intended. I must also thank the people that put up with my moods as I worried about the book and struggled to meet deadlines. As I write this, there is very little to be done on the book. The long hard struggle which so many of us thought would never end has finally reached that end. As the result of that struggle we have a yearbook . . . one which we hope will satisfy everyone at KSU who helped to make it a success. The Editor 300 „ m n f - - mm- • -3 mf .
