IIMIISYJ' Profile, 1959 For Michigan State University, 1959 can be characterized, but not isolated. The scene can be recorded, but the story must be as various as the people who will remember and tell it. It is a time of scientific and technological explosion with no fore- seeable end. Space satellites have skirted the shore of infinity for over a year, and seven American service men are in training to follow. It is a time of crisis from Lhasa to Little Rock. John Foster Dulles, unfailing before the power of nearly half of the world. has fallen to cancer, while Berlin and Iraq await the verdict of history. It is a time of change and re-evaluation, as the nation moves from recession to possible inflation. Alaska and Hawaii become new states, while several of the older and more populous Flounder with antiquated tax structures. Mich- igan is one of these. The state supported universities are among the lirst to feel the pinch. Only skillful piloting by MSU's administrators keeps the huge university running smoothly. Relief is inevitable, but seems pain- fully slow in coming. Winter of the big snow. A record freeze leaves inches of ice on every sidewalk. Snow in four foot drifts defies plow and shovel. while autos Hounder and temperatures drop to 17 below.
