KENT   STATE   UNIVERSITY 
KENT,   OHIO 


The  students  in  this  illustration  are 
symbolical  of  the  veterans  on  the 
campus.  Although  they  are  indistin- 
guishable from  other  students,  the 
shadow  of  their  military  service  is 
omnipresent. 


Dedication 


MAIN  objective  of  the  Second  World  War  was  the  right  to  a 
free,  hberal  education  for  all  peoples.  In  this  second  uneasy  year 
of  peace,  thousands  of  Americans  who  fought  that  war  are  being 
assisted  by  their  government  in  attaining  this  ideal. 

The  men  and  women  who  served  their  country  in  the  amied  forces  returned  to  college  with  a  different 
view  of  life  and  objectives.    They  have  settled  down  to  the  serious  pursuit  of  scholastic  life. 

Although  the  veterans  have  not  engaged  in  all  the  types  of  frivolity  which  once  typified  college  life,  they 
have  freely  entered  into  the  social  and  extra-curricular  activities  on  the  campus. 

As  Kent  State  University  in  1946- 1947  was  composed  mainly  of  veterans,  we  feel  that  their  scholastic  ac- 
complishments here,  as  well  as  their  military  achievements  abroad,  deserve  grateful  recognition. 

We  are  proud  to  dedicate  this  volume  of  the  Chestnut  Burr  to  those  who  assisted  in  preserving  the  rights 
of  freedom.

We  of  Kent  State 


ZVe  have  lived  and  worked  together  on  tne  campus

IXJ  ¥.  have  at- 
tempted to  record  in  the  fol- 
lowing pages  of  the  1947  Chestnut  Burr  a  history 
of  the  school  year  at  Kent  State  University. 

This  has  been  an  important  year,  with  many  un- 
usual situations  confronting  both  the  administration 
and  the  students.  A  record  fall  enrollment — some- 
what more  than  4,000 — swamped  our  facilities  and 
created  several  unexpected  problems.  A  serious  hous- 
ine  shortage  resulted  in  large-scale  commuting  from 
as  far  away  as  Canton  and  Cleveland. 

Classrooms  were  more  crowded  than  we  had  ever 
known  them.  Cafeteria  and  registration  lines  were 
longer,  and  slower. 

Textbooks,  the  essentials  of  education,  were  short. 
Downtown  restaurants  were  mobbed  at  mealtimes; 
their  food  supplies  often  proved  inadequate  to  Kent 
State's  sudden  spurt  of  growth. 

Even  study  problems  were  aggravated.  Students 
resorted  to  auditorium  seats,  or  classroom  desks  placed 
in  the  hallwa)'  running  between  Kent  Hall  and  Mer- 
rill Hall. 

Barracks-type  dormitories  \\ere  hastily  constructed 
to  accommodate  ex-GIs  beginning,  or  continuing,  a 
war-interrupted  college  education.  The  Administra- 
tion announced  plans  for  a  Student  Center  to  be  con- 
structed between  the  Heating  Plant  and  Engleman 
Hall. 

Veterans  were  pre-dominant  among  Kent  Staters — 
reaching  a  total  of  eighty  per  cent  of  the  student 
body — and  displayed  an  easy  adjustment  to  college 
life.  As  a  group  they  maintained  better-than-average 
grades,  indicating  a  serious  approach  to  their  prob- 
lems. 


For  the  first  time  in  many  years,  classes  were  held 
evenings  and  Saturdays.  A  full-time  branch  university 
was  established  in  Canton  to  accommodate  freshmen 
and  sophomores  from  that  area. 

\\'ith  sufficient  manpower  back  on  campus,  a  full 
program  of  varsity  athletics  was  resumed.  Football, 
basketball,  baseball,  swimming,  wrestling  and  track 
teams  turned  in  very  satisfactory  records,  \\ith  prom- 
ise of  better  things  in  the  future. 

Other  campus  activities  reflected  the  increased 
enrollment.  Organizations  dormant  during  the  barren 
war  years  were  re-activated;  the  social  calendar  was 
full.  ■ 

Our  school  is  growing  up. 

The  whole  human  race  found  1947  difficult  going. 
The  same  results  of  the  Second  World  \\'ar  \\hich 
gave  Kent  State  its  impetus  to  growth  brought  to  the 
great  globe  one  of  the  most  significant  years  of  its 
recorded  history.  The  atomic  bomb  continued  to  be 
the  object  of  desperate  deliberation,  speculation  and 
fear.  The  United  Nations  sought  a  formula  for  world 
peace.  \\'artime  controls  and  regulations  \\ere  aband- 
oned. Labor  strife  continued  to  make  major  headlines. 
For  the  first  time,  war  instigators  were  punisiicd  for 
crimes  against  man. 

W  Q.  the  Chestnut  Burr  staff,  have  tried  to  record 
in  picture  and  print  the  liighlights  of  life  in  1947,  on 
the  campus  and  in  the  world.  Our  objective  has  been 
to  give  permanence  to  memories  of  your  doings,  your 
friends,  your  classmates  and  your  professors.  The 
staff  was  relatively  inexperienced  in  the  field,  and  un- 
dertook production  of  the  book  in  spite  of  serious 
material  shortages. 

\\'e  hope  that  today,  when  you  leaf  through  the 
Burr  for  the  first  time,  you  will  appreciate  and  enjoy 
its  contents.  In  future  ^•ears  ^^■e  hope  you  will  find 
it  valuable  to  restore  memories  of  events  and  people 
almost  forgotten.  A.G.

The  Campus 


c^p 


PREADING  over  more  than  loo  acres, 
the  campus  of  Kent  State  University  possesses 
the  natural  beauty  of  a  cultural  center.  The 
main  buildings  form  a  semi-circle  on  a  ridge  above  the  rest  of  the  campus, 
affording  a  spacious  view  over  the  front  campus  and  surrounding  countrv- 
side. 

In  Spring,  Summer  and  Fall,  most  students  have  enjoyed  a  pleasant  stroll 
across  the  shaded  front  campus  or  have  relaxed  from  strenuous  classroom  toil 
on  the  soft  grass,  ^^'inter  brings  a  chilling  wind,  but  who  has  not  stopped 
a  moment  to  admire  a  new  fallen  snow  on  the  campus  hillside.  The  daily 
trek  up  the  hill  will  be  remembered  by  all  who  have  attended  the  University. 
Numerous  changes  are  in  progress  or  are  contemplated.  In  a  few  years 
the  campus,  so  familiar  to  present  students,  will  have  a  greatly  changed  and 
improved  appearance.

HOUSANDS  of  new  students  descended  on  the  University  in  the  fall  to  shatter  all  previous  enrollment 
records.   The  official  fall  registration  listed  4768  students  on  the  Kent  campus  and  650  at  the  Canton  branch. 

This  great  influx  of  students  almost  doubled  the  population  of  Kent.  Many  were  unable  to  find  housing 
facilities  in  Kent  and  were  forced  to  commute.  Others  secured  temporary  quarters  at  the  Maple  Grove  housing 
project  and  later  in  the  year  in  the  University  barracks. 

Classes  were  filled  to  capacity  and  the  faculty  bore  a  heavy  burden  of  extra  classes.  Jammed  hallways  made 
progress  between  classes  slow  while  an  acute  traffic  situation  resulted  from  hundreds  of  student  drivers.  During 
meal  hours  most  of  the  eating  places  in  town  were  crammed.  In  the  second  quarter  the  enrollment  dechned 
slightly  but  not  enough  to  offer  much  respite  from  the  crowded  conditions.

UCH  ado  was  made  over  the  atomic  bomb  and  its  possible  effects  upon  civilization  during  the  year. 
The  above  photograph  of  the  atomic  bomb  experiments  at  Bikini  was  taken  by  an  automatic  camera  mounted 
in  a  tower  on  the  beach.  The  picture  shows  the  huge  tower  of  water  and  steam  created  by  the  underwater  ex- 
plosion in  the  second  test. 

All  the  world  shuddered  at  the  thought  of  another  war  in  which  atomic  energy  would  be  the  basic  explo- 
sive force  employed.  To  forestall  this  occurrence,  the  United  Nations  deliberated  at  length  over  methods  of 
controlling  the  production  and  use  of  this  brute  energy.  Whether  or  not  these  discussions  have  been  of  any 
avail  will  be  known  through  the  passage  of  time. 

\\'hile  most  of  the  world  cringed  at  the  devastating  po\\er  of  atomic  energy,  scientists  were  absorbed  with 
the  problem  of  harnessing  the  energy  for  peaceful  purposes  To  gainfully  employ  atomic  power  presents  per- 
plexing problems  but  it  is  hoped  that  eventually  the  world  will  benefit  from  the  development  of  atomic  dis- 
integration.

Fresident   of   the    University 


'  President  George  A.  Bowman  found  in  his  third 
year  at  Kent  State  University  that  leadership  of  a 
rapidly  expanding  institution  involved  more  than 
just  desk  work.  Through  his  efforts  and  many  trips 
of  inspection  to  government  surplus  piles  all  over 
Ohio,  he  was  able  to  supply  the  campus  with  dor- 
mitory space,  cafeteria  equipment  and  classroom 
space  necessary  to  meet  demands  of  a  veteran-swollen 
population.  His  additions  to  the  faculty  have  not 
only  provided  much  needed  instructors  but  have  done 
much   toward  raising  the  prestige   of  the  school.

\\\x\\  a  personal  interest  in 
the  welfare  of  each  individual, 
Dr.  Bo\\'man  has  attempted  to 
bring  a  wider  scope  of  educa- 
tional possibilities  to  every 
student  at  the  University, 
keeping  in  mind  that  in  several 
years  college  training  ^^'ill  not 
be  merely  desirable  but  virtu- 
ally necessary  for  entrance  into 
crowded  technical  and  special- 
ized fields.  His  background  of 
school  administration  prepares 
him  well  to  act  the  role  of  ad- 
visor and  aide.

ISE  direction  of  a  university  of 
nearly  5000  students  is  accomplished 
only  through  concerted  activity  by 
the  entire  staff  leading  it.  Without 
cooperation  the  chaos  of  postwar  re- 
vision and  adjustment  would  never 
have  been  untangled. 

The  Coordinator  of  Veterans'  Af- 
fairs has  been  active  this  year  in 
providing  guidance  for  veterans  who 
comprise  eighty  per  cent  of  the  stu- 
dent population.  This  office  has  found 
popularity  by  insuring  prompt  deliv- 
ery of  subsistence  checks  and  bringing 
to  the  attention  of  every  ex-G.  I.  the 
benefits  resulting  from  regional  and 
national  legislation.

HE  versatility  and  sympathetic  understanding  of  under- 
graduates' needs  and  problems  have  made  Dr.  John  Reed 
Spicer  one  of  the  most  popular  administration  staff  members 
during  his  first  year  as  Dean  of  the  College  of  Liberal  Arts. 
Having  just  recently  completed  work  on  his  doctorate,  the 
thirty-nine-vear-old  Dean  has  had  an  intimate,  personal 
knowledge  of  his  students'  problems. 

A  revised  and  expanded  system  of  facultv  advisors  and 
important  curricula  changes  marked  the  first-year  improve- 
ments introduced  bv  the  administrator,  enabling  a  student 
to  receive  competent,  individual  advice  relating  to  Iiis  studies 
from  authorities  in  each  particular  field.

ACULTY  members  of  the  School  of  Art  this  year  again 
sponsored  the  annual  exhibition  of  work  by  University  stu- 
dents, staff,  and  alumni.  An  invitational  tea  in  the  Fall  form- 
ally opened  the  exhibit  which  included  paintings  in  oil  and 
watercolor,  crayon  drawings,  and  craft  pieces  by  the  five 
new  artists  who  joined  the  faculty  this  year.  These  new 
members  were  Robert  and  Barbara  Morrow,  Julius  Faysash, 
Max  Johnson,  and  Miss  Maxine  Maxwell.  Such  a  display  of 
work  was  instrumental  in  sparking  student  confidence  in  their 
teachers'  abilities. 

Returning  from  a  year  of  study.  Miss  Nina  Humphrey, 
head  of  the  school,  began  her  thirty-third  year  with  the  de- 
partment. Teaching  every  phase  of  art,  the  school  curriculum 
was  expanded  to  offer  concentrated  sequences  in  jewelry 
design,  weaving,  graphic  arts  such  as  lithographing  and  wood 
cutting,  and  marionette  and  puppet  design.  These  were  in 
addition  to  the  regularly  scheduled  classes  in  commercial  and 
studio  art,  as  well  as  the  history  and  appreciation  of  the 
subject.

ITH  the  return  of  the  elaborate  Masque  Ball, 
the  Art  Club  took  an  active  step  toward  reviving 
traditional  events  unique  to  the  Kent  State  campus. 
The  January  dance,  for  which  the  orchestra  of 
Johnny  Michaels  provided  music,  was  the  high  point 
of  this  year's  program  of  activities. 

Creative  enthusiasm  and  critical  ability  are  devel- 
oped in  artistically  talented  students  through  this  club. 


a  University  organization  composed  primarily  of 
majors  and  minors  in  the  School  of  Art.  The  fre- 
quent field  trips  to  nearby  museums  and  exhibitions 
were  financed  from  fees  earned  by  decorating  Wills 
Gymnasium  for  school  affairs. 

Students  enjoyed  the  club's  original  decorations  for 
the  Homecoming  dance,  Top  Hop,  Newman  Club 
formal  and  most  other  social  affairs.  These  projects 
were  led  by  President  "\^'alter  Schaffer  and  his  ex- 
ecutive council  which  included  Glen  McFarland, 
Alice  Hudson,  A^irginia  Block,  Mavis  Lemmons,  and 
Richard  Pope.

ORK  on  the  '47  Burr  was  slowed  up  many  times  during 
the  year  as  the  business  staff  met  difficulties  in  purchasing 
supplies  and  equipment.  It  was  obvious  to  Business  Manager 
Clarence  Tonka  that  though  the  war  abroad  was  over,  the 
war  of  supply  and  demand  on  the  production  market  was 
still  being  waged.  Scarcities  in  all  fields  threatened  to  delay 
production,  and  purchase  of  essentials  called  for  miles  of  leg 
work.  A\'ith  a  nation-\\'ide  shortage  of  newsprint  contrasted 
to  an  increased  number  of  pages,  the  yearbook  was  fortunate 
that,  due  to  the  foresight  of  its  leaders,  contracts  had  been 
made  months  in  advance  to  co\'er  paper  suppl\-,  printing  and 
binding.  Further  gro\\th  was  also  evidenced  m  the  advertising 
section.

N  crusading  for  improvements  on  campus  as  daily  news- 
papers have  done  in  metropolitan  areas,  the  Kent  Stater  this 
year  was  responsible  for  countless  changes  which  benefited 
the  entire  university.  In  its  sixty  columns  of  news  each  week, 
the  Stater  fought  for  better  student  government  and  educa- 
tion. 

AA'ith  the  return  from  service  of  fomier  journalism 
students  came  the  reappearance  of  traditional  sports  and 
political  columns.  \'eterans  dominated  the  editorial  staff, 
led  m  the  Fall  bv  Alatt  Fenn,  editor.  The  advertising  depart- 
ment was  efficiently  handled  by  Business  iVIanager  Frank 
Vendely. 

The  Stater  continued  to  cooperate  with  all  campus  or- 
ganization:; in  activities  of  interest  to  the  student  body.

C^UPERVISED  by  Editor  Robert  Hoyt,  the  Kent 
Stater  turned  its  emphasis  to  interpretation  as  well  as 
reporting  of  campus  events  during  the  second  half  of 
the  school  year. 

Professional-caliber  critiques  of  musical  and  artistic 
events,  concentration  on  the  serious  aspects  of  college 
education,  and  interpretation  of  campus  trends  were 
evident  in  news  and  editorial  columns. 

Close  work  with  University  clubs  through  a  series 
of  feature  articles  resulted  in  increased  membership 
in  many  groups  and  success  of  worthwhile  campaigns. 
Aided  by  Kent  Stater  support,  the  University  Veter- 
ans Association,  Booster  Club  and  similar  service 
groups  were  able  to  expand  their  activities. 

Publication  of  the  Kent  State  University  Canton 
edition  of  the  newspaper  continued  on  a  bi-weeklv 
basis  during  the  Spring,  under  campus  edition  editors. 

The  Kent  Stater  maintained  its  high  position  among 
college  newspapers  throughout  the  nation,  with  Pro- 
fessor Alfred  A.  Crowell  as  advisor  and  Julian  Suso 
business  manager.

with  a  fresh  spirit  and  a  new  editorial  poUcy. 

Coverage  of  the  major  events  and  trends  at  the 
University  was  included  in  each  issue  of  the  maga- 
zine. Articles  of  current  interest  aroused  a  high  de- 
gree of  student  readership.  Following  a  policy  of 
using  many  pictures  each  month,  the  Duchess  kept 
a  large  staff  of  photographers  busy  turning  out  all 
types  of  pictures. 

The  chief  photographer  for  the  Duchess  was  \V.

cellent rating. 

Band  members  began  the  school  year  by  providing 
colorful,well-executed  formations  as  a  marching  unit 
at  gridiron  contests.  Paced  by  Drum  A'lajor  Jack  Rus- 
sell, the  blue-and-gold  uniformed  group  was  particu- 
larly impressive  at  the  season  finale  with  the  Uni- 
versity of  Akron.

'ITH  THE  return  to  the  faculty  of  Kenneth 
Byler,  assistant  professor  of  music,  tlie  University 
Symphony  Orchestra  resumed  its  pre-war  pattern  of 
an  all-student  ensemble,  after  being  augmented  by 
local  talent  for  ahnost  four  years. 

Musicians  in  the  Orchestra  officially  opened  the 
Kent  State  concert  season  early  in  the  Fall  Quarter 
with  a  recital  of  classical  symphony  and  programme 
music.  David  Kenippel  was  concertmaster  of  the 
group  which  won  early  recognition  from  critical 
audiences. 

In  addition  to  its  regularly  scheduled  concert  ap- 
pearances, the  Orchestra  cooperated  \\'ith  the  School 
of  Speech  in  providing  appropriate  background  music 
for  University  Theater  productions.  The  Symphony 
Orchestra  operated  indcpcndcntlv  of  the  Unixersity 
Band  but  many  able  students  participated  in  both  or- 
ganizations. 

A  more  mature  student  attitude  toward  serious 
music  was  evidenced  in  the  popularity  of  Orchestra 
programs.  Concerts  were  a  fine  blend  of  well- 
balanced  yet  contrasted  numbers  plaved  with  pre- 
cision.

A  Cappella  Choir 


Caro  M.  Carapetyan 
Director 


*-a)URS  throughout  Northeastern  Ohio  and 
radio  broadcasts  over  leading  area  network 
stations  brought  new  acclaim  to  the  Kent 
State  A  Cappella  Choir  and  its  director,  Caro 
M.  Carapetyan,  associate  professor  of  music. 

Radio  Station  WTAiVI,  Cleveland,  aired  the 
choir  in  a  half-hour  program  of  Christmas 
music,  and  appearances  from  the  University 
auditorium  over  Station  WHKK,  Akron,  and 
from  other  area  stations  followed. 

Director  Carapetyan  brought  added  recog- 
nition for  the  choir  as  he  led  the  8o-voice 
group  in  recitals  at  leading  churches  in  Cleve- 
land, Akron,  Youngstown,  Canton,  and  iMass- 
illon. 

The  choir  director  also  edited  several  an- 
cient compositions,  including  Gallus'  "Alle- 
luia," which  were  given  their  United  States 
■premiers  on  this  campus.

v_/DCUSING  attention  on  ballads  and  songs  more  than  four 
hundred  years  old,  the  A'ladrigal  singers  this  year  brought 
to  the  campus  a  rarely-heard  type  of  music  sung  in  tradi- 
tional sixteenth  century  style.  Organized  and  led  by  Caro  Al. 
Carapetyan  of  the  School  of  Music  faculty,  the  Madrigal 
singers  were  often  included  on  regular  programs  with  the  A 
Cappella  Choir.  The  si.xteen  trained  singers,  composing  the 
first  group  of  its  kind  at  Kent,  were  selected  by  the  director 
after  individual  invitation  and  audition.

^AKING  far-reaching  plans  for  improvement  of  the 
A  Cappella  Choir,  Director  Caro  M.  Carapetyan  this  year 
established  the  Second  Choir,  comprised  mainly  of  freshman 
and  sophomore  singers  who  were  being  trained  for  eventual 
membership  in  the  senior  choral  group. 

In  training  this  Second  Choir,  Professor  Carapetyan  em- 
phasized   development    of   a   professional    attitude    achieved 
through  persistent  training,  sincerity  and  enthusiasm  for  vocal 
music.  All  singers  were  held  responsible  for  perfect  memori- 
Kation  of  words  and  music.

Jx  OUR  outstanding  young  American  vocalists  this  year 
combined  their  talents  with  the  200  Kent  State  University 
singers  and  orchestra  members  to  revive  the  annual  presenta- 
tion of  Handel's  famous  Christmas  oratorio,  "The  Messiah." 

New  York  soloists  Eleanor  Brownell,  Gertrude  Berggren, 
Alfred  Hopkins  and  John  Grant  sang  leading  roles  in  the 
December  performance,  witnessed  by  a  capacity  audience. 
Director  of  the  oratorio  in  its  first  performance  at  Kent  State 
since  1 944  was  Fred  Herman  Denker,  head  of  the  School  of 
Music. 

In  addition  to  students  in  the  "Messiah"  chorus  and  orches- 
tra, many  faculty  members  and  local  musicians  aided  in  the 
performance.  Singers  and  audience  alike  were  thrilled  by  the 
closing  "Alleluia"  chorus  which  climaxed  the  oratorio.

As  the  winter  clouds  rolled 
over  Prentice  Gate  and  cov- 
ered the  campus  with  a  fleecy 
white  blanket,  students  found 
new  entertainment.  Snowball- 
ing, tobogganing  and  skiing 
were  definitely  more  fun  than 
classroom  lectures. 

Then  came  the  big  drift. 
Classes  were  closed  for  one  day 
and  everyone  on  the  campus 
had  a  royal  time.

School  of  Speech 


(Broadcasting,  acting,  and  speech  instruction 
and  correction  are  stressed  by  the  School  of  Speech 
in  a  program  aimed  to  improve  oral  habits  of  students 
in  and  out  of  the  professional  speech  field. 

Headed  for  the  seventeenth  year  bv  E.  Turner 
Stump,  founder  of  the  school,  the  speech  department 
aids  other  divisions  of  the  University  in  preparing 
public  programs.  Speech  students  are  also  called  upon 
to  help  in  campaigns  for  local  welfare  and  civic  im- 
provements. 

High  school  students  are  encouraged  to  take  an 
active  part  in  dramatics  through  the  annual  summer 
workshops  sponsored  by  scholarships  to  the  Speech 
School.  The  School  of  Speech  is  also  the  home  of  the 
national  publication  of  Alpha  Psi  Omega,  largest  dra- 
matics honorary  organization  in  the  world.  Prof. 
Stump  is  the  national  president  of  this  fraternity.

Pi  Kappa  Delta 


J 


NCLUDED  in  the  many  activities  of  the  Kent 
chapter  of  Pi  Kappa  Delta,  national  honorary  speech 
fraternity,  is  participation  at  the  biennial  tournament 
in  which  Kent  State  students  debate  with  orators 
from   the  nation's  leading  colleges  and  universities. 


This  year's  contest  took  place  in  April  at  Bowling 
Green  State  University. 

Pi  Kappa  Delta  pledges  are  chosen  by  balloting  of 
members  of  the  honorary.  Eligibility  is  based  on 
points  gained  through  inter-collegiate  speech  activities, 
with  emphasis  on  debate  work. 

Forensics  coach  James  N.  Holm  has  been  advisor 
to  the  group  since  1939.  Under  his  guidance,  eight  Pi 
Kappa  Delta  members  met  with  speakers  from  other 
schools  in  oratory  contests.  The  members  were  also 
official  liosts  to  students  from  twenty-three  schools 
represented  at  the  Buckeye  Debate  Tournament.

CJ  HROUGH  the  efforts  of  the  University's  For- 
ensics Club,  the  group  responsible  for  debates,  oratory, 
and  other  types  of  extensional  speaking  off  campus, 
Kent  was  host  to  the  annual  Buckeye  Debate  Tourna- 
ment held  here  in  Febrary.  Facing  debate  teams  from 
twenty-three  surrounding  colleges,  the  University 
tied  for  third  place. 

Professor  James  N.  Holm,  the  original  organizer 
and  present  advisor,  succeeded  in  rapidly  extending 
the  group's  activities  which  were  curtailed  during  the 
war.  In  keeping  with  policies  of  expansion,  an  invita- 
tion was  sent  to  the  University  of  Hawaii  proposing

participation  in  an  April  tournament  with  "Statehood 
for  Hawaii"  as  the  subject. 

The  president  and  student  director  of  the  Student 
Forensics  Association  the  past  year  was  Ray  Farr, 
while  Jeanne  Cook  acted  as  vice-president.  Gail 
Jeffrey  was  the  club's  secretary,  and  Lee  Shenefiel 
was  treasurer.

J"  OR  THE  past  forty  years,  through  the  "Little 
Theater"  movement,  dramatic  interest  and  activity 
has  spread  among  the  people  of  the  nation,  until  it 
has  become  an  important  aspect  of  American  life. 
The  Kent  State  University  Theater  has  felt  that  it  has 
had  some  part  in  the  development  of  the  national 
expression,  since  for  seventeen  years  it  has  been 
operating  under  the  School  of  Speech  and  has  pre- 
sented a  regular  program  of  plays. 

The  University  Theater  has  fulfilled  the  various 
functions  of  the  stage  by  maintaining  a  balance  be- 


tween plays  of  cultural  importance  and  those  of  high 
entertainment  value.  As  a  result  of  these  efforts,  Kent 
State  students  have  enjoyed  a  well  rounded  program 
of  fine  entertainment  during  the  past  year. 

The  season  of  1946-47  found  two  plays  in  the 
cultural  group — "Macbeth"  and  "Othello";  and  in  the 
entertainment  category  were  "East  Lynne",  Agatha 
Gristle's  "Ten  Little  Indians,"  and  the  story  of  old 
back  bay  Boston  society,  "The  Late  George  Apley". 
Acting  as  theater  manager  for  this  year's  successful 
productions  was  Felice  Faust,  with  Clifford  Hancock 
ser\'ing  as  business  manager.

"One  went  and  choked  himself, 
And  then  there  were  none  .  .  ." 


sjrN  KEEPING  M'ith  pre-war  tradition,  the 
University  Theater  this  year  resumed  its 
schedule  of  five  full-length  plays,  with 
Shakespeare's  "Alacbeth"  opening  the  season. 

Featured  in  the  lead  role  \\as  UT  veteran 
Don  Shanower,  with  freshman  Helen 
A-Iitrovka  as  Lady  A  lacbeth.  E.  Turner  Stump, 
head  of  the  School  of  Speech,  directed. 

In  addition  to  the  three  campus  per- 
formances, the  "Alacbeth"  cast  played  to  more 
than  3000  students  in  eight  northeastern  Ohio 
high  schools.  This  \\'as  the  nation's  first  road 
show  of  classic  drama  by  a  college  touring 
company. 

As  the  result  of  this  highly-successful  ex- 
periment, the  National  Thespian  Society  will 
sponsor  similar  tours  next  year  by  six  leading 
collecres  throughout  the  United  States.  KSU 
will  represent  the  Ohio  district.

Productions 


O  HE  second  successful  production  of  the 
season,  the  melodramatic  "East  Lynne",  was 
presented  by  the  Fresiiman  Players,  under  the 
direction  of  G.  Harry  Wright.  The  humorous 
rendition  of  bet\\"een  act  vaudeville  skits  and 
a  small  but  effective  pit  orchestra  helped  to 
make  the  play  the  entertaining  production 
it  was. 

Next  came  the  Agatha  Christie  spine-chil- 
ling who-dun-it,  "Ten  Little  Indians",  directed 
by  a  newcomer  to  the  School  of  Speech, 
Robert  I.  Pearce. 

The  second  Shakespearian  classic  of  the 
season  was  "Othello".  The  year  was  closed 
with  the  Kaufman-Marquand  hit  "The  Late 
George  Aplev".  Botii  of  these  were  directed 
by  Mr.  "Wright.

Speech  and  Elearing  Chnic  estabhshed  by  Professor  John  R. 
Montgomery  in  1945  as  a  branch  of  the  School  of  Speech. 
This  department  attempts  to  develop  competent  field  workers 
and  classroom  teachers  who  can  handle  the  variety  of  problems 
found  in  the  fields  of  Speech  Pathology  and  Hearing  Therapy. 
The  operation  of  the  chnic  gives  students  excellent  oppor- 
tunities to  learn  through  actual  clinical  application. 

Acting  as  a  service  to  the  University,  the  clinic  assists 
students  with  hearing  and  speech  difficulties  to  overcome 
their  handicaps.  Area  citizens  not  connected  with  Kent 
State  also  come  to  the  clinic  for  assistance,  providing  ad- 
ditional experience  for  suident  therapists.

Department  of  English 


4_^  HROUGH  the  addition  of  nine  new  teachers, 
the  Department  of  Enghsh  met  tlie  problem  of  supply- 
ing instructors  for  an  increase  of  more  than  300  per 
cent  in  the  number  of  English  classes  offered  at  the 
University  last  Fall. 

Professor  Chester  E.  Satterfield,  head  of  the  depart- 
ment, found  that  to  accommodate  the  influx  of  both 
veteran  and  non-G.I.  students,  it  was  necessary  to 
open  fiftv-eight  classes  of  freshman  English  as  com- 
pared with  sixteen  at  the  same  time  last  year.  This 
number  rose  to  sixtv-three  in  the  Winter  Quarter, 
and  more  were  scheduled  for  the  Spring  Quarter. 

Thus  the  new  total  of  twenty-one  faculty  members 
brought  Shakespeare,  Shaw,  romanticism,  realism,  and 
the  comma  to  Kent  in  Alonday  through  Saturday 
classes.

ITNESSING  the  ever  increasing  importance  of  science 
in  many  new  fields  today,  the  members  of  Phi  Sigma  Xi, 
science  honorary,  have  tried  to  develop  some  realization  of 
what  the  subject  will  mean  in  the  modern  world.  The  organi- 
zation, led  by  President  Pauline  \\  illiams.  Vice-president 
Jim  Hewitt,  Secretary  Marie  Barzan,  and  Treasurer  Howard 
Dillon,  selects  its  members  from  the  Chemistry,  Physics, 
Biology,  and  Mathematics  Departments. 

One  of  the  group's  major  activities  last  Fall  was  a  trip 
to  the  Cleveland  Clinic  and  the  Cleveland  Musuem  of  Natural 
History.  Speakers,  among  them  the  noted  chemist  Dr.  W.  L.

ITH  new  discoveries  in  the  science  of  nutrition 
each  year,  the  field  of  home  economics  becomes  in- 
creasingly important  in  the  maintenance  of  good 
health  and  energy.  The  Home  Fxonomics  Depart- 
ment endeavors  to  train  future  dieticians  and  home- 
makers  in  better  \\-ays  of  feeding  and  clothing 
America. 

Psi  Lambda  Omicron,  the  home  economics  honor- 


ary, was  organized  at  Kent  State  University  on  De- 
cember 4,  1940.  An  Alunmi  News  Letter  is  sent  out 
each  Spring  to  help  keep  the  active  and  alumni  mem- 
bers in  close  contact  with  each  other  and  with  the 
University.  In  an  effort  to  encourage  high  scholastic 
standards  and  to  cultivate  an  interest  in  the  field,  the 
group  gives  an  award  each  year  to  the  outstanding 
home  economics  freshman.  Another  project  of  the 
organization  is  to  buy  a  government  bond  each  year 
to  start  a  fund  for  a  scholarship  in  home  economics.

EGIONAL  groups  of  ^^'hich  Kent  State  Univer- 
sity Home  Economics  Club  is  a  member  meet  once  or 
twice  a  year  to  compare  experiences  and  gain  inspira- 
tion from  each  other's  ideas  and  activities,  discussing 
the  field  from  many  aspects.  The  club,  which  is  com- 
posed of  home  economics  majors  and  minors,  provides 
many  opportunities  for  gaining  experience  and  apply- 
ing training  that  cannot  be  secured  in  a  formal  class- 
room  sitting. 

Adding  to  the  pleasure  of  the  members  are  numerous 
social  activities  as  well  as  many  helpful  educational 
projects,  through  \\hich  the  students  are  better  enabled 
to  understand  the  field  in  which  they  are  interested. 

The  organization,  which  is  a  local  branch  of  the 
American  Home  Economics  Association  and  is  also 
affiliated  with  the  Ohio  Home  Economics  Associa- 
tion, tries  to  enlighten  the  members  as  to  the  scope 
and  value  of  the  studies  in  which  they  are  engaged. 
These  ainis  are  succeeding  as  indicated  by  the  ever 
increasing  number  of  home  economics  students  who 
are  becoming  members  of  the  society.

HE  H.P.E.  Club  is  open  to  men  and  women 
majors  and  minors  in  the  fields  of  health  and  physical 
education.  The  purposes  of  the  club  are  multiple.  At 
the  professional  meetings,  lectures  are  given  by  men 
who  are  prominent  in  their  fields.  These  meetings 
are  designed  to  acquaint  the  members  with  the  various 


opportunities  possible  in  the  different  branches  of 
physical  education.  Social  meetings  enable  the  mem- 
bers to  become  better  acquainted. 

The  club  supports,  and  helps  to  promote,  sports 
events  in  the  University  as  well  as  among  its  own 
members.  Leading  the  group  in  the  past  year  were 
George  Streby,  president;  Frank  Spechalske,  vice- 
president  and  social  chairman;  and  Helen  Baugher, 
secretary  and  treasurer.  Drawn  from  the  member- 
ship of  this  group  were  many  of  the  managers  and

Allvn  found  it  necessary  to  make  major  adjustments  in  the

introductory  course  in  business  to  meet  the  mature  outlook 
of  the  veteran.  Then,  for  the  student  enrolled  in  retailing, 
courses  were  expanded  to  include  retailing  in  small  businesses 
and  privately  owned  establishments.  Also  added  was  a  four 
year  curriculum  in  Industrial  Psychology  Procedures,  a  modi- 
fication of  personnel  and  management  studies  to  include  the 
psychological  approach  to  business  direction  and  ownership.

HE  women's  professional  business  honorary  on

recognize  outstanding  scholarship  in  the  field  of 
business  administration.  The  organization  provides 
a  medium  through  which  business  and  business  educa- 
tion may  be  discussed.    At  tlie  colorful,  impressive 


candle-light  initiation  service,  followed  by  a  dinner 
and  theater  party,  new  members  were  introduced  and 
welcomed  to  active  participation  in  the  group's  activ- 
ities. Ruth  Howard  was  president  of  the  group  during 
the  past  year. 

Due  to  tlie  recent  increase  in  enrollment  of  the

HEN  the  Fall  quarter  opened,  the  Beta  Pi  chap- 
ter of  Delta  Sigma  Pi  was  rapidly  resuming  its  place 
as  the  outstanding  professional  group  on  the  campus. 
Composed  of  selected  men  from  the  College  of  Busi- 
ness Administration,  the  group  brought  a  number  of 
noted  speakers  to  the  campus  for  professional  pro- 
grams. 

As  a  service  to  the  students  in  the  college,  the 
chapter  sponsored  three  open  meetings  with  pro- 
fessional speakers.  Projects  carried  out  during  the 
year  included  assisting  the  college  with  pre-registra- 
tion,  securing  an  up-to-date  library  of  catalogs  from 
all  the  colleges  of  business  in  the  countr\%  and  making 
a  statistical  survey  of  all  the  graduates  of  the  college. 
At  the  beginning  of  1 947  the  chapter  ranked  seventh 
in  the  efficienc\'  contest  anK)ng  the  sixty-three  chap- 
ters in  the  country.  A  schohirship  key  was  presented 
to  the  outstanding  graduate  in  the  college. 

Founders  Day  was  celebrated  on  November  2  with 
a  banquet  at  the  Robin  Hood.  Twenty-two  new 
members  were  installed  at  that  time.    A  Christmas 


party  was  held  for  all  members  and  their  guests.  On 
A'lay  16  the  chapter  celebrated  its  fiftli  birthda\'  with 
a  dance. 

Leading  the  group  for  the  past  year  were  Alvin 
Cieitgey,  headmaster;  Harding  W'ichert,  senior 
warden;  Jay  Doty,  junior  warden;  Bob  Rector,  scribe; 
and  Warren  Bower,  treasurer.  Preparation  of  enter- 
tainment and  scheduling  of  meetings  was  handled 
by  William  Sulli\'an,  while  Chirles  A\'est  took  care 
of  all  publicit\'.  Professor  \"ictor  Gra\'crcau  rendered

ITH  the  start  of  the  Fall  quarter  came  proof  that  the 
University  had  outgrown  its  Normal  School  days.  For  the 
first  time  the  College  f)f  Fxlucation,  though  faced  with  the 
enrollment  increase  which  pervaded  the  campus,  became  the 
smallest  of  the  three  academic  colleges.  Under  the  progres- 
sive leadership  of  Dean  Robert  I.  W^hite,  Jr.,  who  came  to 
Kent  State  this  year  from  the  University  of  Chicago,  several 
new  curricula  were  introduced.  Majors  were  established  in 
the  fields  of  Library  Science,  with  particular  attention  to  art 
supervision  for  the  elementary  level,  and  Speech  and  Hearing 
Therapy.  A  minor  in  Recreation  was  also  created  to  train 
students  for  professional-calibre  camp  counselling  work.

^Integration  of  college  subjects  with  practi- 
cal experience  in  the  teaching  field  was  the  core  of 
this  year's  improved  program  of  the  College  of  Edu- 
cation and  the  Kent  State  University  Training  School. 

Because  of  the  record-breaking  number  of  men  in 
the  education  field,  emphasis  centered  on  preparation 
for  secondary  school  teaching.  Existing  fields  of  study 
for  teachers  were  made  more  comprehensive  and 
several  new  major  sequences  added.  The  previous 
system  of  student-teaching  in  Training  School  class- 
rooms from  first  through  twelfth  grade  was  contin- 
ued, under  supervision  of  staff  critic  teachers. 

Special  attention  was  paid  to  graduates  in  the  teach- 
ing field,  through  clinics  sponsored  bv  the  College  of 
Education.  This  ^\'as  an  effort  to  meet  their  problems 
and  eliminate  recurrence  of  these  same  difficulties  for 
future  teachers  now  at  KSU.

cation program,  including  parent  and  teacher  training 
and  child  development,  the  Kindergarten-Primary 
Club  has  just  completed  its  iiineteenth  year  on  the 
Kent  State  campus. 
As  a  member  of  the  national  Association  of  Child- 


hood Education,  the  K-P  Club  brought  outstanding 
speakers  from  the  education  field  to  discuss  current 
problems  and  methods.  Thus  steps  were  taken  to 
raise  standards  of  professional  training  for  teachers  of 
children  from  the  nursery  school  through  the  sixth 
grade. 

Club  advisor  has  been  Miss  G.  Hazel  Swan,  head 
of  the  Department  of  Kindergarten-Primary  Educa- 
tion. Leading  the  eighty-seven  members  of  the  honor-

BLE  LECTURERS  on  educational  systems  in  foreign  coun- 
tries highhghted  this  year's  program  of  the  Elementary  Education 
Club.  Speakers  from  the  facult)%  student  body,  and  outside  organ- 
izations spoke  on  the  school  systems  of  their  native  lands,  thus 
broadening  the  understanding  of  prospective  teachers  in  the  ele- 
mentary grades. 

Jacqueline  Shafer  served  as  president  of  the  club  for  the  1946-47 
academic  year.  With  her  on  the  executive  board  were  Josephine 
Cook,  vice-president;  Ruth  Howe,  secretary;  and  Roberta  Grtibe, 
treasurer. 

The  fifty  members  met  socially  for  both  a  graduation  dinner 
and  a  spring  children's  party.  Miss  Susanne  Koehler,  associate  pro- 
fessor of  education,  was  instrumental  in  the  planning  of  these 
gatherings  while  acting  as  advisor  to  the  E-E  group.

'HE  START  of  the  Winter  Quarter 
found  a  slight  but  significant  relief  to  the 
crowded  living  conditions  in  the  opening 
of  the  new  "Terrace  Lodge,"  a  colony 
of  five  housing  units  east  of  Mouiton 
Hall.  The  buildings,  originally  prefabri- 
cated hospital  units  destined  for  the 
tropics,  were  procured  through  the 
iMarion,  Ohio,  surplus  properties  depot. 
They  were  obtained  by  paying  the  trans- 
portation and  erection  costs. 

As  the  men  moved  into  the  new 
"domis"  in  the  muddy  'i\6-^j  Winter, 
they  found  the  unterraced  surroundings 
covered  \\'ith  slush  and  puddles,  but 
looked  forward  to  the  promised  Spring 
landscaping. 

Accommodating  220  students,  the 
buildings  each  contain  single  and  ward 
rooms,  recreation  room,  study  space,  and 
utility  room.  The  residents  eat  in  the 
University  cafeterias.

YSTElMATIC  revision  of  the  entire  library  set- 
up took  place  this  year  as  John  B.  Nicholson,  Jr., 
found  ways  to  make  Rockwell  Library's  seating  ca- 
pacity of  400  available  to  5000  student  and  faculty 
readers. 

Aided  in  his  planning  by  Thomas  F.  Gardner, 
assistant  librarian,  Prof.  Nicholson  enlarged  the  re- 
serve room  and  placed  full-time  librarians  in  this  most 
widely-used  part  of  the  building. 

Sunday  afternoon  reading  periods  were  made  possi- 
ble through  Prof.  Nicholson's  cooperation  after  stu- 
dent petitions  showed  interest  and  need  of  such  a 
move. 

American  history  became  a  field  of  concentration 
in  buying  new  books,  and  several  valuable  sets  were 
added  to  Rockwell  Library.  By  the  end  of  the  year 
the  staff  had  increased  to  twelve  full-time  librarians, 
in  addition  to  almost  70  student  assistants.

good  leisure-time  reading.

Over 


LIGHTS  of  400  miles  round  trip,  navigated  en- 
tirely by  dead  reckoning,  were  a  part  of  the  cross- 
country flight  course  offered  during  the  Spring 
Quarter  by  the  Aeronautics  Division  of  the  Industrial 
Arts  Department.  Open  to  all  students  with  private 
pilot  certificates,  the  course  included  twenty-six  hours 
of  cross-country  flight  in  Stinson  150's  and  two  lec- 
ture hours  each  week. 

A  further  expanded  program  in  aeronautics  prompt- 
ed the  Industrial  Arts  Department  to  schedule  four 
elementary  flight  courses  with  a  total  of  eighty-five 
students  enrolled.  Flight  instruction  courses  attracted 
eighty  students. 

The  aeronautical  program  received  an  added  boost 
when  considerable  surplus  aircraft  equipment,  which 
included  aircraft  parts  and  assembly  material,  switches 
and  training  films,  were  secured.

NDREW  W.  PATON,  assistant  profes- 
sor of  industrial  arts,  guided  the  aeronautics 
program  this  year.  Fhght  courses  were  taught 
by  instmctors  contracted  through  the  x\kron 
Airways,  while  instruction  in  ground  courses 
in  flying  was  offered  in  classes  on  campus. 

The  University-owned  airfield  at  Stow, 
with  four  sod  runways  each  3300  feet  long,  is 
not  in  use  at  the  present.  All  flights  were  made 
from  the  Akron  Airways  field  with  students 
renting  commercially  owned  planes.  A  con- 
tract between  the  University  and  the  airport 
provides  for  use  of  the  field  and  planes  by 
students,  with  the  school  determining  the  con- 
tent of  the  courses  and  retaining  supervisory 
control. 

All  students  enrolled  in  flight  courses,  in- 
cluding the  one  woman  member,  were  veter- 
ans. With  ne\\-spapers  carrying  frequent  ac- 
counts of  air  tragedies  the  Aeronautics  Divi- 
sion had  no  serious  accidents  during  the  year.

Y  DIRECTING  Kent  Stare  University  Canton  in  its  first 
year  of  full  time  operation,  C.  M.  Schindler,  former  speech 
director  at  Canton  McKinley  Higli  School,  accomplished  a 
task  requiring  much  tact  and  patience.  1  lis  friendliness,  sense 
of  responsibility  and  sincere  interest  in  KSUC  made  him  well- 
liked  h\  Canton  Center  students. 

A  branch  of  Kent  State  University  established  for  the  pur- 
pose of  offering  freshman  and  sophomore  courses  to  Canton 
area  students  w  ho  exentually  expect  to  attend  the  L  ni\ersitv, 
KSUC  this  year  had  an  enrollment  of  650  students.  The  reo;- 
ular  faculty  \\'as  augmented  b\'  professors  from  the  Kent 
campus  w  ho  taught  evening  classes. 


/~>l 


OPHOlVIORES  at  KSUC  elected  two  men  to  lead 
them  in  their  1946-47  activities.  President  Jack  Posey, 
one  of  the  many  students  studying  at  Canton  under 
the  GI  Bill,  attended  Mount  Union  College  and  the 
University  of  Missouri  before  entering  the  Air  Corps, 
and  is  a  pre-law  student. 

Owen  Hemphill  was  chosen  secretary-treasurer, 
and  capably  handled  the  finances  of  the  class,  which, 
with  seventy  students,  ^\■as  far  outnumbered  by  the 
huge  freshman  class. 

At  a  special  assembly  held  early  in  the  school  year, 
the  Sophomore  Class  voted  to  adopt  the  constitution 
which  had  been  established  by  the  Freshman  Class. 
As  a  result,  a  steering  committee  was  set  up  to  guide 
the  activities  of  the  class  by  drawing  up  a  program 
for  the  year.  Under  this  plan  all  parties  and  social 
events  at  KSUC  were  sponsored  by  and  open  to  mem- 
bers of  both  classes.

OULDING  the  record-breaking  Freshman 
Class  into  an  organized  unit  was  the  task  of  three  navy 
veterans  and  one  coed.  Helping  President  William 
Kelly  guide  the  class  were  Glenn  Campbell,  vice- 
president;  Jeanne  Quick,  secretary;  and  Cliff  Eddie- 
man,  treasurer. 

The  class  was  organized  during  the  Fall  Quarter, 
but  really  became  established  on  a  firm  foundation 
with  the  adoption  of  a  constitution  on  January  lo. 
On  that  day  students  poured  into  AIcKinley  High 
School  auditorium  and  quickly  ratified  the  document 
which  had  been  drawn  up  by  class  officers  and  fac- 
ulty advisors  under  the  chairmanship  of  Bert  Ebert. 
Political  Science  Instructor  Louis  Khourey  super- 
vised the  drafting  of  the  constitution  and  was  of  much 
help  to  the  class  in  planning  social  events  throughout 
the  year. 

iViiss  Quick,  class  secretary,  reigned  at  the  Mardi 
Gras  dance  Febraary  i8  as  the  Sweetheart  Queen  of

LTHOUGH  the  KSUC  faculty  had  only  thir- 
teen full-time  teachers,  it  was  augmented  by  four  Kent 
campus  professors,  twenty-one  part-time  instructors, 
and  five  special  advisors.

WENTY-FOUR  pages  of  this  year's  Chestnut 
Burr  were,  for  the  first  time  in  its  history,  devoted 
to  an  outside  branch  of  Kent  State  University.  These 
pages,  deahng  with  KSUC,  were  handled  by  Norma 
Van  Benthuysen,  who  also  edited  the  KSUC  Stater. 

Assisting  Aliss  Van  Benthuysen  were  Aiarcine  Jul- 
ian and  Genevieve  iMorgese.  Emil  Oprean  was  the 
Canton  photographer,  and  cooperated  with  a  staff 
photographer  from  Kent  to  effectively  cover  events 
at  Kent  State  University  Canton. 

The  Canton  section  of  the  Burr  also  had  its  own 
business  staff.  By  allocating  a  part  of  their  activity  fees 
to  it.  Canton  Center  students  received  the  1947  Burr 
on  the  same  basis  as  students  on  the  Kent  campus. 

Certain  that  the  Canton  branch  is  a  permanent  and 
important  addition  to  Kent  State  University,  with  its 
650  students  and  its  curriculum  for  freshmen  and 
sophomores,  editor-in-chief  Geitgey  felt  it  was  de- 
serving of  a  place  in  the  University  yearbook.

N  ESTABLISHING  a  Pre-Engineering  Club  at 
Kent  State  University  Canton,  students  were  influ- 
enced by  a  desire  to  provide  a  medium  through  which 
pre-engineering  students  might  exchange  and  acquire 
information  concerning  their  chosen  profession. 

President  of  the  club  was  Richard  Button.  He  was 
assisted  bv  AMlmer  Binklev,  vice-president,  and 
James  Doyle,  secretary-treasurer.    Richard  H.  Em- 


mons, science  and  mathematics  instructor  at  Canton 
Center,  served  as  advisor. 

Most  of  the  pre-engineers  were  air  corps  veterans 
who  hoped  to  turn  some  of  the  training  they  received 
in  service  to  good  use.  The  club  sponsored  movies 
and  lectures,  including  one  by  Charles  Powell  of  the 
Ohio  Public  Service  Company,  who  discussed  the 
duties  and  qualifications  of  electrical  engineers  in  in- 
dustry.

HE  FOURTH  extra-curricular  club  to  be  estab- 
lished at  Kent  State  University  Canton  was  Kappa 
Mu  fraternity,  which  was  founded  by  twenty-five 
pre-medical  students. 

Purpose  of  the  fraternity  is  to  bring  in  speakers  to 
provide  knowledge  of  advances  in  the  field  of  medi- 
cine, explain  to  members  what  society  expects  of  its 
medical  men,  and  disseminate  other  information  of 
value  to  pre-medical  students. 

In  addition  to  these  aims,  however,  there  existed  a 
desire  to  promote  good  fellowship  among  those  Kent 


State  Canton  students  who  expect  some  day  to  enter 
the  medical  profession. 

First  president  of  the  group  was  Lloyd  McCorry. 
Richard  Green  was  elected  vice-president,  Austin 
Brochaw  secretary,   and  Jim  Shaheen  treasurer.

Center  women  students  who  expect  to  enter  the 
teaching  profession. 

Striving  for  improvement  in  the  field  of  education 
through  better  teaching  methods,  the  society  was  led 
by  Airs.  Emma  Carroll,  instructor  in  education  at 
Canton  Center. 

The  Y\VES  lield  a  membership  drive  which  was 


very  successful  under  the  motto  of  "Go  WES,  young 
women,  go  WTS."  Officers  of  the  society  were  Shir- 
ley Morrow,  president;  Vivian  Hayes,  vice-president; 
Carolyn  Koehler,  secretary;  and  Evelyn  Coates,  treas- 
urer. At  various  times  during  the  year  members  of 
the  YWES  acted  as  substitutes  in  Canton  schools.

UPERA^ISED  by  Robert  Power,  instructor  of 
French  at  Kent  State  University  Canton,  a  French 
Club  was  established  to  join  the  growing  list  of  ex- 
tracurricular organizations  arising  at  KSUC  to  enable 
students  to  broaden  their  knowledge  outside  school 
hours. 


Organized  at  mid-year,  the  neophyte  club  held 
many  informal  meetings  featuring  French  records, 
songs,  lectures,  and  even  French  language  movies. 
Outstanding  among  a  series  of  readings  done  in 
French  was  the  "Count  of  Monte  Cristo"  by  Alex- 
andre Dumas.  In  this  way  students  were  able  to  add 
to  the  basic  French  which  they  were  taught  in  class.

was  organized  last  fall  under  the  direction  of  R.  Don- 
ald Stump.  Air.  Stump,  director  of  the  McKinley 
High  School  band,  provided  very  capable  leadership. 

Composed  of  KSUC's  outstanding  musicians,  the 
swing  band  provided  music  for  many  of  the  school's 
social  functions  throughout  the  year.  Practice  sessions 
and  meetings  to  discuss  plans  of  the  band  were  held 
every  Monday. 

Emil  Ciontea,  one  of  the  student  musicians,  was 
leader  of  the  McKinley  concert  band  in  1946.  He  also 
gained  recognition  for  his  work  in  the  play  "Abie's

highlighted  this  year  by  the  basketball  team,  which 
dominated  play  in  the  Canton  Class  A  league,  aver- 
aging 46  points  per  game. 

The  team  was  coached  bv  Arthur  "Red"  Ritters- 
baugh,  who  also  coaches  Canton  McKinley  High 
School's  Bulldogs.  In  intra-collegiate  games  the 
KSUC  hoopsters  dropped  two  contests  to  the  Kent

gedes.  Other  varsity  basketballers  were  Paul  Nist, 
Pete  Schleininger,  Dick  Trachsel,  John  Morgan,  Bob 
Logan  and  Bob  Sonnhalter. 

Coach  Rittersbaugh  also  directed  a  program  of  class 
and  fraternity  league  basketball,  while  Freshman  Class 
Treasurer  Clifford  Eddleman  taught  a  class  in  boxing. 
A  non-credit  course  in  swimming  was  offered  under

In  This 


JootbaU  J\eturn^ 


OOTBALL  returned  to  the  Kent  campus  in  the  Fall  of  1946  after  a  wartime  intermission  of  three  years. 
Fans  began  to  talk  of  bigtime  encounters  for  the  team  and  by  the  end  of  the  season  it  looked  as  if  this  dream  might 
be  budding  into  reality.   At  least  the  groundwork  had  been  laid  for  better  competition  in  the  following  season. 

A  heavy  enrollment  of  men  helped  to  bring  all  varsity  sports  out  of  the  doldrums.  Alore  candidates  for  the 
basketball  team  turned  out  than  ever  before  in  the  history  of  the  school.  Swimming,  wrestling,  baseball  and 
track  teams  met  a  full  schedule  of  opponents. 

A  crack  coaching  staff  enabled  the  University  teams  to  garner  more  wins  than  losses.  The  dire  need  for 
a  stadium  became  increasingly  apparent  and  several  groups  were  busy  working  on  plans  to  provide  Kent  with 
a  first-class  stadium.  Late  in  the  year,  a  Booster  Club  was  organized  to  consolidate  and  coordinate  the  activities 
of  the  fans.

Y  FAR  the  greatest  sporting  spectacle  in  the  world,  the  1946  \\'()rld  Series  provided  sport  fans  ^\•ith  plenty 
of  excitement  and  suspense.  The  St.  Louis  Cardinals  finally  took  the  series  by  scoring  a  lucky  run  in  the  eighth 
inning  of  the  seventh  game. 

The  above  picture  shows  Enos  Slaughter,  Redbird  outfielder,  sliding  across  home  plate  with  the  winning 
run  in  the  last  game.  Marty  Marion,  the  next  Cardinal  batter,  watches  while  holding  a  bat.  On  his  knees 
waiting  for  the  delayed  throw  from  Johnny  Pesky  at  second  is  catcher  Roy  Partee.  Umpire  Al  Barlick  signals 
the  runner  safe. 

This  play  proved  to  be  a  startling  climax  to  a  hard  fought  series.  It  will  no  doubt  be  one  of  the  most  dis- 
cussed plays  in  all  baseball  history. 

Other  major  national  sports  evidenced  the  return  of  top-notch  pla\ers.  Two  football  leagues  participated 
in  a  series  of  hard  fought  encounters.

(y  ONCERNED  about  the  future  of  post- 
war athletics  at  Kent,  the  University  officials 
last  year  secured  the  services  of  a  dynamic 
young  man  to  fill  the  vacant  post  of  athletic 
director.  Trevor  Rees  was  named  to  guide  the 
current  athletic  fortunes  of  the  Flashes. 

In  1935  Rees  was  an  All- American  end  at 
Ohio  State.  He  coached  successful  football 
teams  at  Shaw  high  school  in  Cleveland  and 
at  Ohio  State  where  he  had  been  an  assistant 
to  Paul  Bro\\-n.  Rees  served  in  the  Navy  \\'ith 
the  rank  of  Lieutenant  Commander. 

He  brought  to  Kent  the  ability  and  drive 
to  produce  great  athletic  teams.  In  his  first 
full  year  as  athletic  director,  he  effectively 
demonstrated  these  capabilities. 


Trevor  Rees 
Athletic  Director 


The  Coach 


(^WEEPING  the  cobwebs  from  the  comers  of  the  Uni- 
versity's dormant  wartime  varsity  sports  program,  Rees 
staned  down  the  difficult  road  of  building  winning  teams. 
He  secured  players  and  equipment  and  arranged  a  schedule 
with  comparable  teams. 

To  aid  him  in  his  quest  of  the  Ohio  gridiron  pinnacle, 
Rees  surrounded  himself  with  a  young  and  talented  group 
of  assistants.  These  aids  possessed  the  valuable  quality  of 
being  able  to  personally  demonstrate  correct  football  forms 
and  maneuvers. 

The  accomplishment  of  the  1946  football  team  was  a 
credit  to  the  coaches.  With  six  wins  against  two  losses,  they 
compiled  the  second  greatest  grid  record  in  the  University's 
history.

And  His  Staff 


M 


'EVER  in  the  history  of  the  University  had  a 
better  balanced  coaching  staff  been  assembled  to  di- 
rect the  sports  program. 

Joe  Begala,  Kent's  renowned  wrestling  mentor, 
returned  from  military  service  in  time  to  assume  the 
important  position  of  trainer.  He  cared  for  the 
bruised  and  injured  gridders  with  a  minimum  of  praise 
and  a  maximum  of  skill. 

AV'es  Stevens,  former  Purdue  tackle,  had  played 
under  Rees  in  1937  at  Shaw  high  school.  When  he 
was  forced  by  an  injury  to  leave  Purdue  for  a  year, 
he  returned  to  Shaw  to  help  Rees  with  the  coaching 
chores.    The   association   proved  so   successful   that 


when  Rees  came  to  Kent  he  secured  Stevens  as  coach 
of  the  guards  and  tackles. 

Harry  x\dams  first  came  to  Kent  in  1941  following 
an  illustrious  high  school  and  college  career  at  Cuya- 
hoga Falls  and  Muskingum.  At  that  time  he  was  an 
assistant  football  and  basketball  coach.  After  three 
years  in  the  Navv  he  returned  to  take  over  the  tute- 
lage of  the  ends. 

Karl  Chesnutt  \\'as  a  member  of  the  HPE  depart- 
ment when  his  appointment  as  grid  assistant  was 
announced  last  June.  The  diminutive  coach  grad- 
uated from  Ohio  University  in  1935  and  was  head 
coach  at  Wickliffe  high  school  before  joining  the 
Kent  faculty  in   1943.

CyNE  name  destined  to  go  down  in  Kent's  football 
history  is  that  of  Frank  Mesek.  The  Golden  Flashes' 
rugged  right  guard  was  named  to  a  first  string  guard 
berth  on  the  Associated  Press  1946  All  Ohio  Confer- 
ence team. 

Many  who  had  watched  Alesek's  great  offensive 
and  defensive  performance  feared  that  he  would  be 
neglected  at  the  end  of  the  season  \\'hen  the  time 
came  to  pass  out  the  plaudits.  Youthful  players  seldom 
receive  the  honors  and  Frank  was  a  freshman. 

But  Alesek's  staying  power,  his  spectacular  feats 
of  grid  prowess,  such  as  cleaving  a  path  for  the  ball 
carrier  by  eliminating  two  would-be  tacklers  with 
one  block,  had  won  the  praise  of  press  and  public 
alike.

/)HE  inaugural  game  was  a  rout  with  Kent 
sTveeping  over  Hiram  40-0,  but  football  hungry  Flash 
fans  loved  every  minute  of  it. 

When  chunky  Paul  Loos,  Flash  right  half  bulled  his 
way  across  the  Hiram  goal  line  for  the  University's 
first  touchdown  less  than  two  minutes  after  the  open- 
ing kickoff,  4,500  fans  at  Chagrin  Falls  reahzed  that 
Kent's  highly  touted  "new  era"  of  athletics  had 
begun. 

Trevor  Rees  had  fashioned  a  football  team  whose 
only  resemblance  to  Flash  teams  of  yore  was  that  it 
still  wore  the  Blue  and  Gold. 

This  team  blocked  and  tackled  viciously.  It  pre- 
sented half  a  dozen  backs  of  the  "scat"  variety,  who 
were  scoring  threats  every  time  they  carried  the  ball. 
The  entire  club  was  well  coached  in  fundamentals 
and  in  near  perfect  physical  condition.  The  final 
score  was  merciful  only  because  Rees  swept  the 
bench  during  the  game. 


^. 


'FTER  their  easy  opening  victory,  the  Flashes 
met  stiff  opposition  from  the  Blue  Streaks  who  were 
rebounding  from  a  48  to  o  whitewash  at  the  hands 
of  Baldwin-Wallace  the  week  before. 

It  was  a  battle  of  unorthodox  football,  with  Rees' 
"cockeyed  T"  opposed  to  Carroll's  "six  linemen-to- 
right-of-center"  offense. 

The  hero  of  this  contest  was  Johnny  Moore,  who 
was  on  his  way  to  establishing  an  all-time  passing 
record  for  Kent  backs. 

With  the  game  apparently  a  7  to  7  tie  near  the 
end  of  the  fourth  quarter,  Aloore  started  passing  with 
Kent  on  its  own  2  3 -yard  line.  He  hit  Pat  DelVecchio, 
then  Howard  Wolfgram,  to  move  the  ball  to  the 
Carroll  23.  Then  Moore  electrified  the  spectators  by 
fading  back  and  pitching  a  perfect  touchdown  pass 
to  Leo  Kot  to  cinch  the  game.  In  the  closing  seconds 
Bernie  McGroarty  added  insult  to  the  Carroll  injury 
by  intercepting  a  Blue  Streak  pass  and  dashing  16 
yards  for  the  third  score.

£/(/ITH  two  victories  behind  them,  the  Kent 
power-house  continued  to  roll  in  their  first  home 
appearance.  Handhng  a  slippery  pigskin  during  a 
steady  downpour,  the  Kent  scat-backs  piled  up  22 
first  downs  to  Bluffton's  one. 

Honors  in  this  game  went  to  the  rugged  Blue  and 
Gold  line.  Bluffton's  total  yardage  from  scrimmage 
was  a  minus  22   yards. 

The  statistics  showed  how  hopelessly  the  plucky 
Bluffton  team  was  outclassed.  Total  net  yardage: 
Kent,  634;  Bluffton,  37. 

The  Flashes  found  that  Kalamazoo  had  something 
other  than  the  "gal"  made  famous  by  the  popular 
song. 

The  Hornets  presented  one  of  the  toughest  lines 
the  Flashes  faced  all  year.  A  A-Ioore-to-DelVecchio 
pass  accounted  for  one  touchdown  and  Bob  Beachy 
scored  the  other  on  a  plunge.  Both  attempts  for  the 
extra  point  were  stopped. 


(^  WEET  dreams  for  an  undefeated  season  became 
tormenting  nightmares  as  Kent's  sister-university 
took  advantage  of  two  breaks  to  score  two  touch- 
downs. 

The  Flashes  gained  a  total  of  456  yards  in  offense 
as  compared  to  124  for  the  Falcons.  The  Kent  line 
consistently  outcharged  and  outplayed  the  Bee-Gees. 
Johnny  Aloore  completed  19  of  30  passes  for  250 
yards  and  a  new  Kent  record. 

But  every  time  the  Bee-Gee  20-yard  line  was 
crossed  the  Flashes'  drive  faltered.  Fumbleitis  and  a 
series  of  intercepted  passes  stopped  seven  Kent  scoring 
threats. 

The  Falcons,  unable  to  gain  either  through  the  air 
or  on  the  ground,  scored  once  when  Dick  Lowry 
dashed  70  yards  with  an  intercepted  pass  and  again 
after  a  Kent  fumble  presented  them  with  the  ball 
on  the  five-yard  line. 

A  Homecoming  Day  throng  of  nearly  10,000  fans 
saw  a  Kent  team  that  was  great  .  .  .  one  that  had 
everything  exxept  scoring  ability.

ALD^VIN-WALLACE  proved  to  be  another 
heartbreaker  with  Kent  winding  up  on  the  short  end 
of  the  score  but  with  a  big  edge  in  the  statistics. 
Heavily-favored  BW  was  held  scoreless  in  the  first 
half.  Then  both  teams  broke  out  in  a  scoring  rash  in 
a  hectic  second  half,  the  Bereans  scoring  just  once 
more  than  the  Flashes. 

BW's  third  touchdown  was  a  gift  by  drowsy  of- 
ficials. Postgame  pictures  unquestionably  showed 
BW  clipping  on  Bob  Hecker's  44-vard  touchdown 
dash. 

The  Yellow  Jackets  scored  first  early  in  the  third 
quarter  and  converted  to  make  it  7  to  o.  The  Flashes 
took  the  kickoff  and  marched  72  yards,  helped  by  a 
brilliant  45-vard  dash  by  ^Vib  Little,  to  score.  Virgil 
Roman's  place-kick  was  blocked,  and  the  Flashes 
trailed  7  to  6. 

After  B^^"s  second  score  made  it  14  to  6,  the 
Flashes  went  61  yards  to  score.  Aloore's  passes  sparked 
the  drive,  and  Neal  Nelson  contributed  the  touch- 
down. Bob  Hecker's  scoring  dash  made  Homecoming 
Day  a  success  for  Baldwin- Wallace.

AKING  a  favored  Bishop  team  completely  bow 
down  on  its  home  field  at  Delaware,  Kent  scored  a 
second-period  touchdown,  then  coasted.  Kent  piled 
up  413  yards  in  net  offense  while  Ohio  \\'eslevan 
registered  only  188. 

Eddie  Capri  was  the  individual  hero.  The  diminu- 
tive right  half  scored  on  a  brilliant,  40-yard  dash. 
Frank  Mesek,  who  did  most  of  the  place  kicking 
during  the  season,  made  it  7  to  o.  Also  featured  was 
the  play  of  "Silent  Dan"  Kratzer.  Until  this  game  a 
fourth-string  fullback,  Dan  was  catapaulted  into  the 
starting  lineup  because  of  injuries.  He  played  60 
minutes  of  always-dependable,  sometimes-brilliant 
football. 

The  tilt  was  designated  by  student  organizations 
as  the".Migration  Day"  whereby  all  \\\\o  could  com- 
mandeer a  vehicle  would  be  expected  to  attend  the 
Wesleyan  game.  The  stadium  at  A\'esleyan  filled 
many  Kent  hearts  with  longing.

^rj  LESSED  victory  .  .  .  sweet,  soothing 
nectar  of  the  Gridiron  Gods.  This  one — above 
all  else — the  Flashes  wanted,  but  badly. 

Preceded  by  pregame  shenanigans  between 
students  of  the  two  arch-rival  schools,  all  the 
bitter  fury  of  20-odd  years  of  rivalry  culmi- 
nated when  the  teams  clashed  November  15. 
The  game  was  witnessed  by  nearly  14,000  fans 
who  jammed  the  Akron  Rubber  Bowl  to  see  the 
fray. 

Hardly  had  the  fans  settled  in  their  seats  when 
Kent  marched  65-yards  in  four  plays  to  score. 
Tom  Kot  pitched  the  pass  good  for  35  yards 
and  a  touchdown.  Virgil  Roman  converted.  The 
Zips  came  right  back  before  the  game  was  five 
minutes  old  and  scored  on  a  Frank  Wahl-to 
Finn  pass,  but  the  conversion  missed  fire. 

Wib  Little  scored  the  second  touchdown  for 
the  Flashes,  after  setting  up  the  stage  with  sev- 
eral brilliant  dashes  in  the  second  period.  The 
last  half  was  scoreless,  with  the  Flashes  playing 
defensive  football  and  protecting  their  precious 
seven  point  lead. 

Again  the  Kent  line  proved  itself  to  be  one  of 
the  best  in  Ohio.  Akron  gained  only  51  yards 
by  rushing. 

This  was  the  second  consecutive  win  for  the 
Flashes  over  Akron  University  after  14  years  of 
victoryless  competition  with  the  Hilltoppers 
before  the  war.

NDERCLASS.MEN   st;irred   to    win   sk   of 


eight  games,  in  which  the  Flashes  scored  143  points 
against  47  for  their  opponents.  They  piled  up  3,852 
yards  in  net  offense  against  the  opposition's  1,661 
yards. 

Johnny  Moore  established  an  all-time  Kent  passing 
record  with  45  completions  in  74  attempts  for  a 
total  of  644  yards.  This  record  made  iMoore  the 
nation's  fourth-best  small-college  passer,  according 
to  NCAA  statistics. 

Frank  Mesek,  Kent's  rugged  right  guard,  deserved- 
ly was  made  first-string  guard  on  the  All  Ohio  Con- 
ference Associated  Press  team.  Several  times  during 
the  season  Mesek  eliminated  two  would-be  tacklers 
with  a  single,  well-placed  block. 

.Mesek's  individual  play  sparked  the  best  Kent  line 


in  Golden  Flash  gridiron  history.  The  forward  wall, 
led  by  such  stalwarts  as  Pat  Del\'ecchio,  Lou  Toth, 
Jack  Britt,  Harold  Miller,  Ralph  Garmus,  Dick 
Wolfe,  Dwight  FoUin,  Dick  Paskert,  Frank  Klein, 
George  Kovalick,  Jack  Urchek,  Bill  Moritz  and  Roy 
Snyder,  held  eight  opponents  to  a  total  of  only  465 
yards  gained  by  rushing — an  average  of  less  than  60 
yards  per  game. 

Thirty-one  players  were  awarded  letters  at  the 
end  of  the  season,  and  it  is  an  indication  of  "things  to 
come"  that  30  of  these  will  be  back  for  the  1947 
season. 

For  Trevor  Rees  and  his  "new  era"  coaching  staff, 
the  1946  season  was  only  the  beginning.  The  future 
looks  bright  for  the  Kent  State  University  football 
teams.

>y  ^  HE  appointment  of  Harry  Adams  as  the  Uni- 
versity's head  basketball  coach  last  May  was  a  step 
forward  along  the  path  to  revive  Golden  Flash  sports. 

Adams,  who  came  to  Kent  in  1941  following  a 
brilliant  athletic  career  as  a  star  gridder  and  eager  at 
Cuyahoga  Falls  high  school  and  later  at  Muskingum 
College,  augmented  his  playing  career  by  the  suc- 
cessful handling  of  Uhrichsville  high  school  sports. 
During  his  four-year  tenure  there,  he  served  as  ath- 
letic director. 

Adams  joined  the  athletic  staff  of  the  University 
as  assistant  football  and  basketball  coach.  His  career 
with  the  Golden  Flashes  was  then  interruped  by  a 
three-vear  hitch  in  the  Navy. 

Admirably  suited  to  head  Kent  court  fortunes, 
Adams  has  had  more  than  six  years  of  basketball 
coaching  experience.

tx/HILE  the  Golden  Flash  faithful  gloated  over 
a  highly  successful  football  season,  they  cast  an  ap- 
prehensive eye  at  the  coming  basketball  campaign. 
Countless  big-name  high  school  stars  had  been  at- 
tracted to  Kent.  Over  150  hopefuls  answered  Coach 
Harry  Adams'  first  Fall  practice  call. 

The  1946-1947  cage  wars  began  amid  reams  of 
publicity  which  indicated  that  the  team  was  poten- 
tially strong  but  lacked  experience  as  a  unit.  Adams' 
charges  opened  the  season  with  an  impressive  69-42 
conquest  of  the  "Old  Men"  or  University  alumni 
team.  Newcomer  Dale  Haverstock  flipped  in  18 
points  to  pace  the  victors. 

Enthusiasm  about  the  team  cooled  like  the  weather 


on  December  3  when  the  Flash  courtmen  journeyed 
to  Bowling  Green  and  took  a  63-47  pasting  from  the 
nationally  prominent  Bee-Gees.  Although  defeated, 
the  cagers  provided  fans  at  the  tilt  with  a  brilliant 
individual  display  in  the  person  of  freshman  center 
Fred  Klaisner  who  burned  the  nets  for  25  markers 
and  one  man  honors  for  the  evening. 

A  courageous  second  half  uphill  battle  at  \\'ooster 
gave  the  Adamsmen  a  53-48  triumph  and  a  season 
record  at  that  point  of  two  for  three.  Only  five  men 
broke  into  the  scoring  column  for  the  Flashes  in  this 
contest.  Four  of  them,  Haverstock,  Klaisner,  AMl- 
son,  and  Sudeck  garnered  eleven  counters  each  while 
Finn  added  ten.

\,  c^  HOAVING  what  was  perhaps  the  best 
form  thus  far,  the  Flashes  trounced  Case  50-23 
at  the  Cleveland  Arena.  Veteran  forward 
Harry  Wilson  netted  15  points  to  lead  the 
winners.  Significant  feature  of  the  fray  was 
the  Flashes'  air-tight  defense  which  limited 
the  Scientists  to  nine  fielders  and  five  free 
throws. 

Back  in  front  of  the  home  crowd,  the  cagers 
won  a  listless  42-36  victory  over  Allegheny 
College.  Leroy  Thompson  finally  got  in 
stride  after  recovering  from  a  leg  injury  to 
lead  Adams'  proteges  with  1 1  tallies  for  the 
third  straight  win  of  the  season.

consecutive  victim  as  they  fell  before  the

HE  FLASH  quintet  played  host  to 
oUege  Dec.  28,  and  lost  54-48.  Klaisner 
scored  10  points  to  again  lead  the  home  team,  but  that 
was  not  enough  to  offset  the  twin  barrage  of  Don 
Newkirk  and  Elkin  Isaac,  who  meshed  15  each  for 
the  winners. 

Coach   Adams'   boys   started   the   New   Year   off 
\^•rong  by  losing  to  Youngsto\\'n  College  Jan.  i.  They 


were  defeated  66-57  ^y  ^  team  which  was  tough  on 
its  home  floor. 

Back  in  the  familiar  surroundings  of  Wills  Gym 
two  nights  later,  the  Golden  Flashes  scored  a  65-38 
win  over  the  Crile  Hospital  team.  Bill  Sudeck  paced 
the  onslaught  with  1 3  points,  as  1 2  squad  members 
contributed  to  the  scoring. 

The  Crile  victory  marked  the  seventh  win  of  the 
season  for  the  Golden  Flashes,  as  they  prepared  to 
take  on  their  traditional  foe,  the  University  of  Akron. 

Stopping  Fritz  Nagy,  Akron's  Ail-American  for- 
ward, was  the  assignment  of  guard  Dale  Haverstock. 
He  succeeded  admirably,  holding  Nagy  to  three  field 
goals,  but  other  departments  of  the  Flashes'  play  bog- 
ged down,  and  Akron  won  the  tilt  at  Goodyear  gym 
44-32.

EEKING  revenge  for  an  earlier  defeat,  the 
Flashes  met  Youngstown  College  and  squeezed  out  a 
50-49  decision  over  the  invaders.  Haverstock  netted 
the  game-winning  goal  \\ith  exactly  four  seconds  of 
plaving  time  remaining. 

It  took  a  i6-point  second-half  bombardment  by 
brilliant  Bill  Herman  of  Alt.  Union  to  defeat  the 
Kent  basketeers  in  their  next  outing.  Mount  triumphed 
46-41,  with  Herman  scoring  :o  of  the  points. 

Next  on  the  season's  program  for  the  Flashes  was 
Muskingum  College,  Coach  Adams'  alma  mater.  The 
Adamsmen  traveled  to  New  Concord  to  oppose  the 
high-flying  Muskies,  who  were  at  that  time  one  of 
the  leaders  in  the  Ohio  conference. 

KSU  hoopsters  played  one  of  their  best  ball  games 
of  the  year  but  suffered  a  59-57  set-back.    Klaisner 


and  Thompson  led  the  Flashes  with  18  and  16  tallies 
respectively. 

On  January  21,  the  Golden  Flashes  played  host  to 
the  Yellow  Jackets  of  Baldwin-Wallace  College.  The 
home  team  led  45-42  at  the  end  of  the  third  quarter 
but  faltered  badly  in  the  stretch  to  lose,  61-50.  Klais- 
ner registered  22  points  to  dominate  KSU's  offense. 
B-W  defeated  Akron  a  few  nights  later. 

On  the  road  again,  this  time  traveling  to  Crile  hos- 
pital  in  Brecksville,  Adams'  proteges  regained  the  win 
column  \\ith  a  55-46  conquest  of  the  hospital  five. 

\\'estern  Reserve's  Red  Cats  became  the  ninth  vic- 
tim of  KSU's  improving  five,  44-42,  in  a  thrill-packed 
encounter  in  \Mlls  Gym. 

Reserve's  closing  rally  fell  short  of  overtaking  the 
stalling  Flashes.  The  home  club  instituted  a  tight 
zone  defense  which  succeeded  in  limiting  the  Cats' 
chief  threat,  high-scoring  Hank  Leflvowitz,  to  five 
points.

the  Golden  Flashes  found  themselves  confronted  with 
the  formidable  Zippers  of  the  University  of  Akron. 
This  time  the  site  of  the  fray  was  Wills  Gym  but  the 
outcome  was  the  same,  the  Zips  winning  in  a  romp, 

72-49- 

The  long-awaited  Flash  offensive  display  arrived 

in  KSU's  second  encounter  with  hapless  Case.  In  re- 
cording an  87-42  triumph.  Coach  Adams'  charges 
came  within  one  point  of  tvang  the  school  scoring 
record  for  one  game. 

Utilizing  a  fast  break  and  a  tight  defense,  the  Flashes 
next  gained  sweet  revenge  for  a  previous  Mount 
Union  beating,  overcoming  a  seven-point  halftime 
deficit  to  win  out  59-54.  Guard  Benson  negotiated 
14  points  in  sparking  the  victory. 


Continuing  their  winning  ways,  the  Flashes  sent 
the  Wooster  Scots  home  with  nothing  to  show  but  a 
61-53  loss  for  their  effort  in  Kent. 

KSU's  Flashes  won  their  13th  game  of  the  season, 
defeating  John  Carroll  52-46  in  their  last  home  ap- 
pearance. On  the  road  at  Ashland  Coach  Adams' 
cagers  met  disaster  at  the  hands  of  a  speedy  and  ag- 
gressive Ashland  College  quintet,  losing  62-61. 

The  courtnien  from  Kent  came  close  to  pulling  a 
big  upset  over  Bald\\in-\\"allace  in  the  next  game. 
Holding  a  one  point  lead  over  the  Jackets  midway  in 
the  final  period,  KSU  faltered  and  Mas  edged  by  the 
Cleveland  team  53-51. 

In  the  season  finale  in  Cleveland  against  John  Car- 
roll, the  University  encountered  a  "red-hot"  team  and 
suffered  a  humiliating  64-23  setback. 

In  their  first  full  post-war  year  of  basketball,  the 
Golden  Flashes  finished  with  1 3  wins  and  1 1  losses.

schedule  after  a  four-year  layoff  as  an  all-freshman 
squad  took  to  the  water,  guided  by  a  new  coach,  Wes 
Stevens. 

In  their  first  meet,  on  Jan.  17,  the  Golden  Flash 
fish  fell  to  Ohio  U.,  49-19.  They  bounced  back  to 
defeat  jVluskinghani  53-22,  Jan.  22.  Meeting  a  veteran 
Fenn  squad  in  Cleveland,  they  lost  45-30  on  Jan.  24. 
At  this  meet.  Coach  Stevens  felt  they  had  made  an 
impressive  showing  against  a  tough  opponent.  The 
Wooster  Scots  invaded  the  home  pool,  Jan.  30,  leav- 
ing with  a  42-23  win  under  their  belts.

C/XPLODING  with  a  bang  heard  'round  the 
campus,  a  University  Booster  Club  came  into 
existence  in  1947  on  the  strength  of  a  campaign 
which  netted  more  than  1,000  charter  members. 

Founded  by  a  group  of  campus  leaders  to  pro- 
mote University  athletics  and  foster  school  spirit, 
the  Booster  Club  was  responsible  for  a  special 
clieering  section  at  varsity  games. 

Officers  elected  to  guide  the  Booster  Club 
in  its  first  year  were:  Mickey  Dover,  president; 
Roy  Newsome,  vice-president;  Jessie  West,  sec- 
retary; and  Bob  White,  treasurer. 

The  B.C.  plans  next  fall  to  sponsor  a  Migra-

'  ^^'0  SQUARE  strips  of  mar,  enclosed  in  a  cage- 
like affair,  in  the  far  end  of  the  locker  room  has  be- 
come known  as  "Begala  Beach,"  and  rightly  so. 

Czar  of  the  "Beach,"  Coach  Joe  Begala,  has  com- 
piled an  amazing  record  in  the  i6  years  that  he  has 
been  at  the  helm.  His  ^\Testling  teams  have  become 
feared  throughout  the  nation. 

The  "Begalamen"  reached  their  greatest  heights  in 
the  campaign  of  1938,  '39,  and  '40  when  they  were 
rated  the  fifth  top  team  in  the  country. 

"Weepin'  Joe,"  who  captained  Thor  Olson's  great 
Ohio  U.  teams  in  1928  and  '29,  is  still  in  top  wrestling 
condition,  and  practically  any  night  he  may  be  found 
giving  one  of  his  boys  a  vigorous  workout. 

Perhaps  there  is  something  to  his  philosophy  of 
"we'll  meet  any  team,  anyplace,  anytime,  and  re- 
gardless of  win,  lose  or  draw,  we'll  have  fun  doing  it." 

His  teams'  record  of  108  wins  in  128  meets  proves 
the  success  of  his  strategy.

They  Fell  Hard 


IG  TIME  wrestling  returned  to  Wills  Gym  after 
a  four-year  layoff,  and  the  "Begalamen"  came  back 
as  rough  and  tough  as  ever. 

Some  forty  grapplers  reported  to  Coach  Joe  Beg- 
ala's  first  practice  session  December  i,  and,  by  the 
time  of  the  Frosh- Varsity  meet,  the  squad  had  dwin- 
dled down  to  30  men,  most  of  whom  had  won  letters 
in  either  college  or  high  school. 

By  the  time  of  the  first  meet  with  Waynesburg 
College  of  Pennsylvania,  the  Flashes  were  a  well- 
molded  and  experienced  team,  deep  in  every  position 
except  the  heavyweight  class. 

Ironically  enough  it  was  a  heavyweight,  Bob  Lei- 
man, who  scored  a  pin  in  the  Waynesburg  duel  when 
the  chips  were  down.  With  one  match  remaining  and 
KSU  five  points  behind,  Leiman  pinned  his  opponent 
to  give  the  Flashes  the  needed  counters  for  a  deadlock. 
The  16-16  draw  was  the  first  time  the  "Begalamen" 
had  been  tied  in  16  years. 

Using  six  new  faces,  the  Staters  shut  out  previously

victory  of  the  season.

Milkovich  hand  Zib  Zednik,  Ohio  U.  mainstay,  his  first 
defeat  in  17  bouts,  as  the  Bobcats  were  snowed  under 
23-3  at  Wills  gym. 

In  dropping  the  Redcats  31-3,  the  Staters  piled  up 
their  highest  score  of  the  season.  Jack  Botts,  128 
pounder,  and  acting-Captain  Joe  Incorvaia,  in  the  145 
pound  division,  continued  their  winning  ways  by 
pinning  their  opponents. 

Faced  with  their  stiffest  assignment  of  the  season, 
the  Flashes  defeated  the  powerful  Syracuse  team  19-9, 
in  reaching  their  pre-war  prominence  as  a  mat  power. 
Syracuse,  previously  unbeaten  in  three  starts,  had 
defeated  Penn  State  and  Cornell,  both  nationally 
known. 

Coach  Begala  used  his  first  team  sparingly  in  romp- 
ing to  an  easy  30-0  shutout  over  Findlay  college. 
Performing  before  a  large  crowd  in  their  home  finale, 
the  Staters  swept  every  bout,  three  by  pins,  in  notch- 
ing their  fifth  straight  victory.  Ike  Leaver,  Joe  Incor- 
vaia and  Ed  Aiaro  all  won  five  pointers  for  the  Blue 
and  Gold. 

The  wrestlers  revenged  an  early  season  tie  in  drop- 
ping Waynesburg  from  the  undefeated  class,  19-11. 
An  easy  26-6  decision  over  Findlay  in  a  return  en- 
gagement gave  Coach  Begala  his  third  undefeated 
wrestling  team,  and  the  university  its  fifth  undefeated 
athletic  team.

Men's  Intramurals 


Interest  in  men's  intramural  sports  during  the  year 
jumped  from  the  seven  teams  entered  in  summer 
Softball  play  to  5 1  teams  playing  in  winter  cage  com- 
petition. 

Softball  honors  during  the  first  summer  session 
went  to  Delta  Phi  Sigma,  Kappa  Sigma  Chi,  and 
Windham  who  tied  for  first  place.  Windham  re- 
mained a  power  in  the  league  by  winning  the  Softball 
title  for  the  second  summer  session. 

In  the  fall,  Victor  Aloore  joined  the  HPE  staff  and 
became  new  intramural  director.  He  has  had  to  cope 
with  many  problems,  such  as  weather  and  accommo- 
dating in  the  gym  the  large  number  of  teams  desiring 
to  participate  in  the  various  programs. 

Three  independent  leagues  and  a  fraternity  league 
saw  action  during  the  football  season.  Kappa  Sigma 
Chi  clinched  first  place  in  the  fraternity  league  while 
the  Salemites  won  the  independent  title. 

Runnerups  in  the  grid  leagues  were  Delta  Phi  Sig- 
ma, Tappa  Nu  Keg,  Elyria  Pioneers  and  Fighting 
Irish.

Topping  a  field  of  six  entries,  Delta  Phi  Sigma 
notched  the  horseshoe  championship.  Gamma  Tau 
Delta,  Kappa  Mu  Kappa  and  Alpha  Phi  Beta  followed 
in  order.  Paul  Pieper  won  the  Manchester  horseshoe 
playoffs  with  Charles  Dragga  finishing  second. 

Gamma  Tau  Delta  roared  ahead  to  capture  the 
fraternity  volley  ball  pinnacle  with  the  Atomic  Pills 
emerging  as  independent  victors.  Alpha  Phi  Beta, 
Kappa  Sigma  Chi  and  Delta  Phi  Sigma  trailed  the 
fraternity  champs.  The  Tappa  Nu  Kegs  took  second 
place  among  the  independent  teams. 

Eight  independent  leagues  and  the  fraternity  circuit 
were  battling  on  the  basketball  courts  during  Jan- 
uary, seeking  the  all-university  cage  championship. 

Leading  the  fraternity  basketball  league  were  Delta 
Phi  Sigma  and  Kappa  iMu  Kappa  \\'ith  Kappa  Sigma 
Chi  hot  on  their  heels. 

Among  the  independents,  \\'indham.  Residence, 
Night  Hawks,  O.M.S.,  Canterbury  Club,  and  lilla 
Mae  hoopsters  boasted  excellent  records. 

Defending  its  lead  in  the  I-M  cup  race  was  Delta 
Phi  Sigma.  This  cup  is  awarded  in  June  by  the  HPE 
department.  A  similar  cup  will  go  to  the  independent 
team  gaining  the  most  points  in  intramural  competi- 
tion.

WOMEN'S 


x\n  attempt  to  provide  a  sports  activity  to  suit  every 
co-ed's  interest  is  made  at  the  University.  In  addition 
to  the  physical  education  classes,  in  which  women 
play  tennis,  golf,  basketball,  and  other  games,  the 
Women's  Atheltic  Association  sponsors  several  sports 
tournaments  every  quarter. 

Participation  in  intramural  sports  provides  chances 
to  win  the  WAA  intramural  cup,  and  sorority,  dor- 
mitory and  off-campus  team  competition  becomes 
keen  when  the  co-eds  vie  for  tourney  titles  and  tro- 
phies. 

During  the  Fall  Quarter,  Theta  Sigma  Tau  sorority 
soccer  team  won  the  1946-47  tournament  champion- 
ship and  cup.  Moulton  hall  whipped  the  Theta  Sigs 
to  become  the  volleyball  tournament  champion  and 
carry  away  that  trophy. 

The  shiny  bowling-ball  participation  trophy  went 
to  Beta  Gamma  sorority  for  having  the  greatest  num- 
ber of  girls  out  on  the  alleys  in  competition 

Individual  bowling,  badminton,  tennis,  table  tennis, 
and  archery  tournament  champions  were  a\\'arded 
sterling  silver  bracelets.  Weekly  meetings  of  the 
swimming  and  dance  clubs  found  the  girls  splashing 
and  learning  the  art  of  graceful  movement.

ATHLETICS 


Miss  Becky  Seidel,  basketball  and  swimming  in- 
structor, gave  helpful  tips  to  "hoop  tourney"  entrants 
and  supervised  the  activities  of  the  Sharks  Swimming 
Club,  managed  by  Bernice  Looney,  ^\"hile  iVhss 
Eleanor  A'lellert  was  advisor  to  the  iModern  Dance 
Club,  where  members  were  encouraged  to  improvise 
their  own  steps.  Betty  Vey  was  manager  of  the  group. 

Taking  the  advice  given  early  in  the  year  by  Dr. 
A.  O.  DeW'eese,  many  women  decided  to  "get  out 
in  the  fresh  air  when  they  exercise  instead  of  staying 
in  the  gymnasium."  They  discovered  the  thrills  and 
chills  of  tobogganing  down  the  snow-covered  campus 
hills  during  the  \Mnter  Quarter. 

Physical  education  majors  and  minors  in  the  Col- 
lege of  Education  gave  their  special  attention  to  the 
AVomen's  Athletic  Association's  annual  Play  Day  in 
the  Spring.  Over  350  high  school  girls  from  north- 
eastern Ohio  attended  the  affair  eager  for  a  day  of 
fun.  The  HPE  students,  who  plan  to  teach  sports, 
instructed  the  young  girls  in  relay  races,  dodgeball, 
Softball,  volleyball,  stunts  and  tumbling,  swimming, 
and  table  tennis.  AVhile  helping  the  visitors  enjoy 
their  day,  the  students  gained  much  practical  exper- 
ience.

TUDENTS  at  Kent  began  to  feci  the  national  housing  shortage  in  the  Fall  Quarter  of  1945,  which  opened 
two  months  after  the  war  ended.  The  first  large  influx  of  veterans  combined  with  a  sharp  increase  in  non-veteran 
registration  filled  the  town  to  capacity. 

Determined  not  to  refuse  any  GI  an  education  because  of  lack  of  a  room,  Kent  State  last  year  began 
measures  to  uncover  every  spare  room  in  Kent,  and  to  provide  temporary  housing  from  government  surplus 
buildings. 

This  year,  the  Aiaple  Grove  Community  Project  became  predominantly  an  answer  to  the  married  veter- 
an's housing  problem.    Single  men  found  temporary  quarters  in  the  barracks  at  Kent  and  \^'lndham. 

The  Bed-for-a-Vet  campaign,  conducted  by  students,  enjoyed  notable  success.  Pictured  above  are  Bob 
Wentz  and  Jim  Bullock  in  one  of  the  publicity  highlights  of  the  drive.

HAT  became  even  more  pressing  to  Americans  during  the  past  year  \\'as  the  bitter  fight  over  the  war- 
time Office  of  Price  Administration.  The  above  picture  shows  a  demonstration  by  a  group  in  Chicago  demand- 
ing that  OPA  be  retained.  This  fierce  controversy  drew  drastic  comment  from  many  sides  and  spHt  party  Hues 
wide  open.  Some  claimed  the  bureau  hindered  normal  peacetime  production,  but  the  administration  deemed  it 
necessary  to  stabilize  jittery  economy. 

A  Congress  led  by  Taft  of  Ohio  and  Wherry  of  Nebraska  passed  a  bill  crippling  OPA's  sweeping  war  po^^•- 
crs.  Urged  on  by  overwhelming  public  support,  the  President  vetoed  the  bill.  Congress  then  passed  another, 
which  he  signed. 

President  Truman  declared  the  end  of  the  Second  ^^'()rld  \\'ar  the  first  of  this  year.  This  act  automatically 
cancelled  the  once-powerful  bureau  and  other  emergency  measures  granted  the  wartime  president,  Franklin  D.

<^OON  to  take  their  places  in  the  world,  members 
of  the  Senior  class  were  saddened  by  the  thought  of 
leaving  the  portals  of  Kent  State  University  and  bid- 
ding adieu  to  friends  and  teachers.  As  freshmen  this 
class  was  the  smallest  in  the  history  of  the  Univer- 
sity, but  after  struggling  through  the  war  years,  they 
were  joined  by  many  returning  men  and  women 
whose  college  life  had  been  temporarily  interrupted. 
When  the  time  came  for  departure,  the  seniors  had 
developed  into  an  outstanding  group  of  which  the 
University  could  be  proud. 

Officers  of  the  class  for  this  final  year  were:  Hank 
Johnston,  president;  Barbara  McDowell,  vice-presi- 
dent; Agnes  Sawyer,  secretary;  and  Yvonne  Lewand- 
owski,  treasurer. 

As  befitted  their  position,  many  members  of  the 
class  were  campus  leaders,  otherwise  known  as 
BMOC's.  Selected  for  "Who's  Who  in  American 
Colleges  and  Universities"  were  Johnston,  Miss  Mc- 
Dowell, Miss  Sawyer,  Roy  Apple,  Mike  Friedland, 
Bob  Kenyon,  Kay  Tolt,  Beryl  Knox,  Evelyn  Long,

HE  first  peacetime  graduation  in  five  years  was  the  fortune  of 
the  1946  diploma  class.  With  many  old  acquaintances  back  in  time 
for  graduation,  the  class  of  1946  felt  the  jubilant  air  of  a  new  campus 
spirit. 

Dr.  T.  V.  Smith,  professor  of  philosophy  at  the  University  of 
Chicago,  spoke  on  "Education  and  International  Relations"  at  the 
commencement  exercises  held  in  June. 

The  seniors  who  marched  into  the  auditorium  to  receive  degrees 
numbered  113.  Graduating  from  the  College  of  Education  were 
eightv-three  future  teachers.  Next  in  number  was  the  College  of 
Liberal  Arts  with  thirty-two  seniors. 


The  seniors  start  up  the  steps  to  the  Administration  build- 
in£i  on  the  last  leu  of  their  journev  through  Kent. 


The  grand  finale   has  finally  arrived.    With  diploma  in 
hand,  they  are  now  ready  to  step  into  the  world.

NE  of  the  three  necessities  of  life — food — was  a 
difficult  item  to  obtain  at  Kent  this  year.  The  trouble 
was  not  so  much  a  shortage  of  food  but  was  due  to 
the  fact  that  the  local  restaurants  could  not  get  the 
help  to  serve  it.  The  large  influx  of  students  over- 
loaded the  facilities  of  the  more  popular  eating  places. 
And  as  prices  climbed  skyward,  many  students  be- 
gan preparing  their  own  lunches. 

In  October  a  new  cafeteria  was  opened  to  the 
public  in  Lowrv  Hall  and  helped  to  alleviate  the  sit- 
uation. Construction  of  a  new  cafeteria  was  started 
early  in  the  \\'inter  Quarter. 

To  satisfy  the  "chow  hounds"  of  Kent,  box  lunches 
were  sold  near  the  campus.  The  cro\\ded  conditions 
and  long  lines  made  this  way  of  getting  a  quick  lunch 
very  popular,  especially  during  nice  weather. 

For  commuters  who  were  wise  and  broucrht  their 
own  lunches,  an  eating  place  was  established  in  the 
lower  part  of  Aloulton  Hall.

"cokes",  the  Class  of  '48  devoted  itself  to  activity

Bob  Casey,  president;  Bob  Durivage,  vice-president; 
Jean  Goncher,  secretary;  and  Jim  Bullock,  treasurer. 

Student  Council  members  were  Dona  Mae  Burk-

national  service  honorary,  pledged  Robert  Heigh- 
berger,  Randy  Newhouse,  Bob  Smiley,  Paul  Yam-

sister  organization,  pledged  Tillie  Davis,  Joy  Brand, 
Colleen  Brand,  Jeanne  Cook,  Felice  Faust,  Jacqueline

Dormitorv  life  is  filled  with  such  things  as  late  snacks,  gab  fests,  house  meetings,  parties  and  signing  the  register. 
All  combined,  this  makes  life  for  a  coed  busy  and  interesting. 


?-i?  rv  a 


The  register  is  a  necessary  nuisance  in  the  life  of  a  coed. 
But  it  is  better  to  remember  to  sign  than  to  suffer  the  con- 
sequence. 


All  shined  up  and  signed  out,  a  couple  of  twosomes  take 
off  for  an  evening's  entertainment.  The  gals  still  love  to 
see  the  men  beat  a  path  to  the  dormitory  doors. 


LTHOUGH  faced  with  unprecedented  com- 
petition as  enrollment  soared,  members  of  the  Sopho- 
more Class  this  year  took  the  lead  in  many  campus 
activities. 

Bob  Stevenson,  University  Theater  and  NTFC 
star  last  year,  captured  the  class  presidency.  Other 
officers  were  Mary  Jones,  vice-president;  Virginia 
Block,  secretary;  and  Bob  Farns\\'orth,  treasurer. 

Serving  on  Student  Council  were  Tom  Davey,  Miss 
Block,  Bob  Duncan,  Hope  Greener,  and  Stuart  Brown. 

Frank  Vendely  served  two  terms  as  business  mana- 
cjer  of  the  Kent  Stater,  and  Don  W'arnian  was  mana- 
ging  editor.  On  the  Duchess  staff  were  Editor  Al 
Weekley,  Associate  Editor  Hope  Greener,  and  Feature 
Editors  Eleanor  Toniasik  and  Eleanor  Kolk. 

Bob  Wentz  and  John  (Mickey)  Finn  edited  the 
Canton  Kent  Stater,  while  Betty  Cibula  was  active 
in  Radio  \\'orkshop  and  University  Theater. 

One  of  the  Blue  Star  political  party  co-chairmen 
was  Roy  Newsome,  who  also  handled  publicity  for 
No  Time  For  Classes.  Rick  Uray  was  lighting  di- 
rector for  University  Theater  productions  and 
engineer  for  Radio  A\'orkshop.

HE  largest  Freshman  Class  in  the  history  of  Kent 
State  University  invaded  the  campus  last  Fall.  The 
2500  eager  newcomers  found  the  University  ready  to 
serve  them  in  every  way,  but  the  staggering  enroll- 
ment presented  many  grave  problems  to  the  adminis- 
tration. Long  lines  were  inevitable  the  first  week,  as 
the  Frosh  \\'ere  advised  and  registered.  Swift  revision 
of  class  schedules  was  necessary  to  accommodate 
them. 

Class  officers  were  Phil  Dempsey,  president;  Joan 
Huffman,  vice-president;  Beverly  Lewis,  secretary; 
and  John  King,  treasurer.  Bill  Shuttleworth,  Phyllis 
Ferguson,  Alarj  Parmalee  and  Bob  Chambers  were 
named  to  Student  Council  in  the  December  elections. 

The  University's  sports  program  was  moulded 
around  the  first-vear  students.  The  all-Freshman 
swimming  team  was  paced  by  Don  Wilson,  100  and 
220-yd.  dash  man.  Fred  Klaisner  broke  the  University 
scoring  record  \vWi\e  leading  a  basketball  squad  which 
was  composed  of  eleven  Freshmen  out  of  eighteen 
members.  Star  of  the  successful  grid  machine  was 
Frank  A'lesek,  who  was  chosen  All-Ohio  Conference 
guard.

-ARKING  the  twelfth  year  of  its  existence  at 
Kent  State  this  year,  the  Department  of  Traffic  reg- 
ulations maintained  an  enviable  record  in  handling 
about  1600  cars  a  day. 

Dale  Rowe,  traffic  director,  assisted  by  traffic  of- 
ficers Ed  Bates  and  Jack  Britt,  found  that  there  is 
still  a  touch  of  the  pre-war  jalopy  on  campus.  Such 
cars  as  the  Durant,  Marquette,  Hupmobile  and  the 
Essex  were  listed  among  the  registered  cars. 

After  completing  their  most  recent  set  of  statistical 
data,  traffic  department  officers  discovered  the  fol- 
lowing: Eighty-two  per  cent  of  all  registered  drivers 
receive  no  warning  tickets;  men  drivers  were  less  de- 
linquent parkers  than  women;  there  are  twelve  men 
drivers  to  one  woman  driver. 

Duties  of  traffic  department  members  include  not 
only  placing  tickets  on  offending  cars  or  cautioning 
drivers  to  slow  do^\•n,  but  also  a  variety  of  corres- 
pondence, publicity,  statistical  and  sleuthing  work.

NNOUNCEA4EXT  of  plans  for  a  Student  Center  in  accordance  ^\•ith  Kent  State's  post-\\'ar  growth  were 
made  this  year.  The  spacious  building  pictured  above  will  be  located  behind  the  Heating  Plant  and  close  to 
Englenian  Hall.    Only  the  approval  of  the  state  legislature  at  Columbus  is  needed  before  construction  can  begin. 

The  three-storv  structure  will  house  the  University  Book  Store,  locker  rooms  and  meeting  rooms  for  cam- 
pus organizations.  Plenty  of  lounges  and  recreation  spa^e  will  be  provided.  Plans  to  include  a  student  theater 
and  a  diningroom  have  been  made.  A  coke  bar  and  lunchroom,  equipped  to  serve  light  meals,  will  be  located 
in  the  Center. 

The  plan  of  the  administration  in  building  the  Student  Center  is  to  give  students  a  "college  hangout"  on 
campus,  where  everv'  facility  for  recreation  will  be  made  available.  In  future  years,  this  building  will  be  a  center, 
in  mf)re  than  name,  of  Kent  State  activities.

URENBERG,  Germany,  a  centuries-old  town  of  Gothic  cathedrals  and  medieval  rooftopsTlield  the  at- 
tention of  all  thinking  people  during  this  crucial  period. 

There,  after  ten  months  of  a  trial  in  which  a  new  basic  conception  of  international  affairs  was  evolved, 
twelve  leaders  of  the  Nazi  regime  which  led  the  world  into  the  Second  A\'orld  W  ar,  were  condemned  by 
humanity  to  death. 

Fifteen  days  after  a  combined  American,  British  and  Russian  tribunal  reached  its  tremendouslv  significant 
verdict,  these  men,  who  were  the  despots  of  Europe,  \\-ould-bc  lords  of  the  earth,  walked  to  a  prison-yard 
gallows. 

The  military  court's  justice  never  reached  the  paranoiac  who  was  the  arch-criminal  of  the  all.  Adolf 
Hitler  had  died  a  year  before,  apparently  a  suicide,  in  the  wreckage  of  his  Third  Reich.

Inter-Fraternity  Council 


^/£^IGHING  questions  important  in  the  fu- 
"tureof  Kent  State's  seven  fraternities  is  the  Inter- 
Fraternitv  Council,  headed  this  year  by  Roy  Apple 
as  president,  Charles  Piper  vice-president,  George 
Hoy,  secretary  and  Clarence  Cole,  treasurer. 

Foremost  problem  before  the  Council  during  the 
past  year  has  been  the  one  of  nationalization  of  fra- 
ternities. University  President  George  A.  Bowman 
states  that  pemiission  to  "go  national"  may  be  given 
fraternities  after  the  end  of  this  year. 

The  University's  seventh  fraternity.  Alpha  Epsilon, 
was  accepted  by  the  Council  early  this  year,  and  was 
formally  organized  immediately  afterward. 

Inter-Fratemitv  Council  decided  this  year  to  re- 
quire a  one-dollar  fee  from  each  new  Greek  pledge, 
to  be  used  toward  an  Inter-Fraternity  House.  It  was 
also  decided  to  pemiit  non-fraternitv  men  to  live  in 
fraternity  houses  temporarily  because  of  the  acute 
room  shortage. 

The  organization  is  composed  of  two  members  of 
each  fraternity  on  campus — the  group's  president  and 
another  member,  appointed  by  him.

welfare  and  betterment  through  a  college  education, 
the  University  X^eterans  Association,  better  known  as 
the  K-X^ets,  is  a  local,  unaffiliated  group. 

Formed  in  September,  1944,  by  a  small  group  of 
veterans,  the  Association  now  numbers  almost  500 
members.  It  holds  an  important  position  in  campus 
politics,  with  the  recent  migration  of  ex-GIs  to  the 
University,  and  sponsored  the  successful  Wednesday 
night  social  dancing,  introducing  live  music  in  the 
Winter  Quarter.

iation is  avaihible  to  provide  many  functions  similar 
to  those  of  Greek  organizations.  As  its  first  activity 
in  the  Fall  Quarter  it  sponsored  the  ISA  Mixer  dance. 

Newly  reorganized  shortly  after  the  end  of  the 
w  ar,  tlie  Association  maintains  a  voice  in  campus  pol- 
itics, running  its  own  candidates  for  student  offices. 

A  survey  conducted  by  the  Independents  on  the 
question,  "Do  you  think  a  daily  newspaper  is  impera- 
tive to  the  betterment  of  Kent  State  University?" 
produced  results  overwhelmingly  favorable  to  the 
debated  question  of  a  daily  Kent  Stater,  and  revealed 
that  most  University  students  are  keenly  interested  in 
tlie  progress  of  the  University  as  presented  by  the 
Stater. 

George  Heaslip  headed  the  organization  this  year, 
while  Miriam  Pugh  was  vice-president,  Marion  Lemp-

ECAUSE  OF  the  war,  the  Kent  State  branch  of 
the  international  Young  Men's  Christian  Association 
was  inactive  for  several  years.  Reactivation,  although 
it  began  in  1945  with  the  influx  of  veterans  to  the 
campus,  was  completed  during  the  last  year.  A 
membership  drive  last  Fall  gained  the  organization 
many  new  members. 

Sometimes  meeting  jointly  with  its  sister  group,  the 
Young  AVomen's  Christian  Association,  the  YMCA 
shared  many  of  its  activities  with  the  YWCA.  The 
group  also  participated  in  intramural  athletics. 

Parties  and  picnics  were  held  regularly  in  line  with 
the  organization's  purpose — the  providing  of  Christian 
fellowship  and  recreation. 

The  first  officers  after  the  post-war  reorganization 
was  completed  have  held  office  during  the  past  year. 
Bob  White  was  president,  Jim  Rinier,  vice-president,

ENT  STATtyS  seventh  fraternity  was  organized 
in  the  Fall  Quarter  as  the  result  of  a  loose  plan  w  hich 
originated  among  a  handful  of  veterans  who  met  cas- 
ually on  campus  and  in  the  Bradv  during  the  Summer. 

By  the  beginning  of  the  Fall  Quarter,  twenty-four 
men  had  joined  the  group.  They  applied  to  Inter- 
Fraternity  Council  for  recognition,  and  were  de- 
clared a  local  social  fraternity  late  in  the  quarter. 

Dr.  William  G.  iVIeinke  and  Assistant  Professor 
Bernard  Mikofsky  accepted  invitations  to  act  as  fac- 
ulty advisors,  and  officers  were  chosen.  Philip  Brus- 
tein has  been  president,  Alfred  Rubin  recording  sec- 
retary, A\'olfgang  Ernst  Translateur  corresponding 
secretary,   and  Edward  Weissfeld   treasurer. 

First  step  in  Alpha  Epsilon's  plan  for  tlie  future 
is  the  purchase  of  a  fraternity  house.

FTER  lectures  are  prepared  and  examination  papers 
graded,  members  of  the  faculty  often  turn  to  private  research 
projects  which  have  brought  praise  of  the  community  and 
national  recognition  in  technical  and  professional  journals. 

As  a  member  of  the  Portage  County  Youth  Commission, 
Dr.  Marion  Van  Campen,  head  of  the  Department  of  Ele- 
mentary Education,  planned  and  directed  a  conference  on 
teen-age  problems  for  high  school  students.  Completing  her 
ninth  year  on  the  KSU  faculty,  Dr.  Van  Campen  also  aided 
recent  University  graduates  in  the  teaching  field  through  a 
series  of  special  meetings  to  solve  their  particular  problems. 

Outstanding  in  the  field  of  library  science  is  John  B. 
Nicholson,  Jr.,  Kent  State  librarian,  who  has  made  detailed 
studies  on  the  use  of  microfilm  in  libraries,  and  similar  con- 
structive topics.  In  an  effort  to  acquaint  the  faculty  with  this 
year's  reorganized  staff  and  circulation  methods  at  Rockwell 
Library,  an  invitational  reception  and  lecture  by  a  nationally- 
famous  librarian  were  sponsored. 

Dewey  F.  Barich  returned  last  year  from  service  in  the 
Navy  to  devote  his  time  to  aiding  and  advising  veterans  dur- 
ing their  college  careers.  He  frequently  spoke  before  area 
civic  groups  in  an  effort  to  clarify  public  misconceptions 
about  work  of  veteran-students.  Prof.  Barich,  head  of  the 
Department  of  Industrial  Arts,  also  found  time  to  practice 
and  speak  on  his  hobby  of  silversmithing,  an  art  of  which  he 
has  a  practical  experience  and  historical  knowledge. 

Faced  with  the  overwhelming  job  of  enlarging  his  depart- 
ment to  meet  this  year's  sudden  tripling  enrollment  was 
Chester  E.  Satterfield,  head  of  the  Department  of  English. 
With  the  majority  of  new  students  enrolled  as  freshmen, 
Prof.  Satterfield  devoted  his  time  to  finding  able  teachers 
and  revising  elementary  courses  to  insure  a  thorough,  prac- 
tical basis  in  English  literature  and  grammar,  designed  to  aid 
students  in  every-day  experience. 

Interpretation  and  arrangement  of  early  musical  scores 
have  occupied  the  attention  of  Caro  AI.  Carapetyan,  associate 
professor  of  music  and  director  of  the  A  Cappella  and  Ma- 
drigal Choirs.  Many  of  these  sixteenth  century  compositions 
have  been  given  premiere  performances  in  the  United  States 
this  year  by  the  eighty-voice  choir  Prof.  Carapetyan  has 
trained.  The  group  sang  both  ancient  and  modem  music  in 
concert  and  on  radio  broadcasts.

mercial art  interruped  by  Army  service.  Haikalis  was,  be- 
fore his  service  years,  a  commercial  artist  for  Yeager's  de- 
partment store  in  Akron,  and  works  now  in  O'Neil's  adver- 
tising department.  A  sophomore,  Haikalis,  who  is  28,  is  en- 
rolled in  a  special  art  course. 

Aiargaret  Brown,  senior,  is  a  pre-medical  student  bound  for 
\\'omen's  .Medical  College  of  Philadelphia.  After  classes  here,

She  is  22  and  a  resident  of  Akron. 

Although  Milan  Jaksic  is  enrolled  in  the  college  of  business 
administration,  majoring  in  industrial  management,  he  has 
always  worked  in  geography,  and  was  employed  by  the  Of- 
fice of  Strategic  Services  for  two  years,  making  topographical 
terrain  models  of  war  theaters.  iModels  on  which  Jaksic 
worked  were  used  by  every  American  commanding  general 
and  at  the  Pearl  Harbor  investigations  of  last  year. 

Jaksic,  who  is  27,  is  from  Cleveland.

tion "No  Time  For  Classes"  hit  the  boards  in  March, 
this  time  with  Jim  Bullock  and  Bob  White  co-pro- 
ducing the  successful  all-student  musical  comedy. 

Leads  were  played  by  Ed  Halas,  Shirley  iVIarks, 
Marion  Lemponen  and  Jack  Bernhardt.  Bob  Mc- 
Donald, Eileen  McGinlev,  Bob  Stevenson,  Bob  Smiley 
and  Janet  Gillespie  appeared  in  the  show  for  the  sec- 
ond year. 

A  new  set  technique  and  beautiful  lighting  effects 
added  to  the  performances.  Stan  Mine  and  Bob 
Wentz,  popular  Stater  dirt  columnists,  became  capsule 
producers  with  their  various  "Hellzapoppin"'  stunts.

Bernice  Loonev 


^     HE  MOST  popular  man  at  the  University  this 
year  was  James  Fletcher  of  Canton. 

One  of  the  first  veterans  to  enroll  here  under  the 
GI  bill  of  rights,  and  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Uni- 
versity V^eterans  Association,  "Fletch"  was  a  swing- 
band  drummer,  appearing  with  several  combinations 
in  Akron  and  Canton  before  the  war.  He  has  con- 
tinued his  band  activities  despite  the  loss  of  his  right 
arm  in  the  African  campaign. 

"Fletch"  is  31,  single,  and  a  major  in  personnel 
management  in  the  college  of  business  administration. 

He  was  one  of  the  first  men  to  pledge  Phi  Beta  Phi 
fraternity  after  its  post-war  reorganization  and  is 
presently  active  in  the  group. 


WLVIlMING  champion  Bernice  Looney  of  War- 
ren combines  a  smooth  personality  which  gained  her 
the  "iMost  Popular"  title  ^\•ith  a  smooth  swimming 
stroke  which  has  brought  her  innumerable  swimming 
honors. 

The  t\\'enty-year-old  junior  in  the  College  of  Edu- 
cation has  acquired  twenty-one  trophies  and  120 
medals,  in  the  past  nine  years.  She  holds  a  national 
AAU  championship  and  the  Canadian  swimming  title. 

Miss  Looney  has  been  swimming  with  the  Firestone 
squad  for  the  past  five  years,  and  became  captain  of 
the  squad  three  years  ago.  She  has  been  encouraged 
and  coached  by  her  aunt,  May  Looney,  a  former 
world  champion  swimmer.  This  year  she  managed  the 
Sharks   Club,    a   University  swimming   organization.

AN  UNUSUAL  blue  and  white  color  scheme 
and  a  "Top  of  the  World"  decoration  motif  provided 
the  backdrop  for  this  year's  Top  Hop,  held  in  Wills 
Gym  February  7.  Bob  Chester  and  his  nationally 
known  orchestra  provided  the  music. 

iVIarcye  Huston  Armington,  elected  iVIiss  Kent 
State  the  day  before  the  dance,  became  the  first  mar- 
ried coed  to  hold  the  title.  She  was  presented  at  the 
dance  and  escorted  to  her  throne  by  a  court  of  nine

mitory on  campus.

danced  from  9  p.m.  to  i  a.m.  Alany  of  these  were 
alumni,  returning  to  their  alma  mater  for  the  big  night. 

Agnes  Sawyer  and  Grayce  Mays  were  in  charge  of 
arrangements  for  the  dance.  Angeline  Zima,  Jack 
Loney,  Dick  Pope  and  Jean  Faldessy  of  the  Art  Club 
created  the  striking  decoration  scheme.

OOTHS  representing  t\\ent\'-four  campus  or- 
ganizations filled  Wills  Gym  on  the  night  of  February 
14,  when  the  Penny  Carnival,  a  complete  success  again 
this  year,  was  held. 

More  than  S500  was  realized  from  the  affair,  of 
which  Charles  Dragga  was  chairman.  The  funds  will 
he  used  to  aid  plans  for  European  college  students  to 
study  here. 

Kappa  Sigma  Chi  fraternity  and  Pi  Kappa  Sigma 
sororitv  took  top  honors  with  their  photograph  and 
fortune-telling  concessions.  Other  booths  featured 
such  entertainment  as  Valentine  telegrams,  games  of 
chance,  duck  ringing  and  throwing  baseballs  at  a 
human  target. 


Dclts  Jack  James  and  Matt  Bradley   cross  the  finish  line,   victorious. 


((_  HIRTY  oarsmen  representing  all  Greeks  and

River  from  Standing  Rock  to  the  Main  Street  Bridge 
on  a  sunny  May  afternoon  last  year,  for  the  first 
Row  Boat  Regatta  since  the  war. 

The  Kent  Stater  reactivated  the  traditional  event, 
in  which  Alpha  Omega  sorority  and  Delta  Phi  Sigma 
fraternity  won  top  honors.  A  feature  of  the  Regatta 
was  the  "dark  horse"  entry  of  Stan  Mine  and  Bob 
W'entz,  Stater  gossip  columnist,  daring  an  old  bathtub. 
The  carefree  pair  won  a  tremendous  ovation  from  the 
onlookers,  but,  according  to  observers,  seem  not  to 
have  figured  in  the  finish.

"Covered" 

By 

MOLLOY 


"That  MOLLOY  MADE  covers  have  been 
used  on  so  many  of  the  nation's  leading  an- 
nuals over  a  long  period  of  time  is  testi- 
mony to  the  fact  that  they  really  do  repre- 
sent more  value. 

The  Chestnut  Burr,  like  many  other  lead- 
ing annuals,  started  using  MOLLOY 
MADE  covers  "away  back  when"  and  the 
Molloy  trademark  on  the  cover  of  this 
1947  issue  of  the  Chestnut  Burr  is  the 
best  evidence  of  an  eminently  satisfactory 
standard  of  quality  and  service  throughout 
the  years."
