A circuit preacher's buggy be-
came mired, a wheel was left
in the mud and temper dis-
played. Thus John Buchtel
missed out on founding a col-
lege on the Cuyahoga shore.

Since its founding, Kent State
has been an intense rival of Ak-
ron U. They compete for a
"wheel" in an annual football
game. This wheel is the only
existing remnant of John R.
Buchtel's ill-fated trip to Kent
to find a site for his proposed
university. His buggy bogged
down in the mud on Kent's
present campus. In the excite-
ment, Buchtel's horse broke
away and left bits of the car-

riage scattered here and there.
A wheel remained thoroughly
wedged. It was then that Buch-
tel decided that this site would
never do and went on to Akron
to found Akron University.

The wheel, found a few years
ago during construction of a
new building, was turned over
to R. E. Manchester, then dean
of men, who had it polished and
painted for use as a trophy for
which the grid warriors of the
two schools could vie.

KSU gained permanent pos-
session of the wheel in '54 when
one of the most intense gridiron
rivalries among Ohio colleges
ended.

Since 1935, the former dean of men, Raymond
E. Manchester has written his famed Saturday
Letters. Saturday after Saturday his pen has
poured forth these letters until now there are over
750 of them written on every subject imaginable.

There are few men who know more about Kent
than this man who started as a math instructor,
became Kent's first dean of men, and finally re-
tired from the job he carried out so well.

It is through the Saturday Letters of Dean
Manchester and through the special copy he
helped us prepare that the 1955 CHESTNUT
BURR hopefully brings to you the story of Kent.

To Dean Manchester we must express our un-
dying thanks for the help and inspiration that he
has given us. Much of the copy in this introduct-
ory section is his, and behind it is a deep insight
and a love for a great University.

Gratefully we salute the man who played such
an important role in the history of Kent State
University.

The Editor

Time, toil and midnight oil went into the creation
of Dean Manchester's well-known Saturday Letters.

Somewhere among these reeds and lily pads Brady
hid from the Indians for hours and hours after his
85-mile life-or-death race from Sandusky to Kent.

Curtain up! The scene is set in the rolling hills
of Ohio, on the banks of the Cuyahoga river, in
the shade of lovely trees, on a grant of land — this is
Kent, and, there is more. Imagination! Glamour!
Memories! Hope! Confidence!

Did Evangeline go across our campus? Pro-
fessor Packard drew a map and said, "Could be."
Did Captain Brady run through the campus woods
when escaping the Indians? A look at the map
and one might say "Could be." Did the fairies
dance back of Moulton Hall last June? Shorty
found the fairy ring of toad stools. "Well?" Did
a flying saucer hover over the drill field in Au-
gust? Two strollers in Lilac Lane saw something.
Did our winners at the Olympic games win be-
cause they heard the echo of a Kent cheer? Did
our men in service fight better because of their
memories of campus scenes?

Was Deacon Buctle tempted to cuss just a bit
when he was stuck in the mud? Oh, no! Did the
fraternity pledge, who spent the night in the cem-
etery, make a few resolutions? No doubt! And
what about books, plays, songs, pictures, ma-
chines, inventions? Genius? The spark? The
flash? Can it be that the heritage from the past,
the environment of the present and the vision of
the future motivate and stimulate? By all means
yes! Because this is Kent!

A University carved from the wilderness with the
strong will to survive — a great pioneering effort.

The dress may be different but the tradition and
spirit are typical of Kent's Campus Day.

Yes, this is Kent. Forty-four years have passed
since first there was a dream, a vision, a great
shining goal. It wasn't merely a dream of land,
bricks and stones, but one of a great school to
serve a great people and to guide the thoughts,
emotions and acts of all in ways leading to perma-
nent satisfactions and enduring faith in estab-
lished patterns of mental, moral and spiritual
conduct.

President McGilvery had the dream and made
the blueprint for the ages. Each succeeding presi-
dent has had the same dream and has added to
the blueprint. Faculties and students had the
dream and filled in the detail of the blueprint. Al-
ways the same dream and always the same blue-
print! For the ages! For the people! For the best
in human endeavor! For creation, invention, per-
fection and faith in eternal truth!

Kent is in the realm of thought. Kent is in the
emotions of the heart. Kent is in the faith of the
soul. Kent is in the design for living.

Compare McGilvrey's blueprint with present-day Kent.

Yes, there was a hope. A dream. And the only thing in the way ot it becoming a
reality is the ambition of the dreamer. A slow beginning, but then watch it grow.

Kent grew in size, spirit and standing — that could be
felt! Kent grew with structures — that could be seen!

The class of 1914 was a promise of what was to come.
They were few in number but large in future history.

Fourty-four years — four decades and four!
And, at the end of each decade a devastating world
event. John McGilvery was President then. Pion-
eer! Trail breaker! Hire a faculty! "But, there
are no students." Send the faculty out to all
places roundabout, to spread the word. "But, we
have no chairs, tables, or desks." Make them!
"But we have no books." Good teachers need no
books. "But, we have no classrooms." Get a tent
— a big tent. "But, how about grades and credits?
Other schools won't recognize them?" We give
our own credits. Teachers and students off to
war! Keep building. They will be back.

International exchange of students? I'm going
to England and bring Oxford and Cambridge to
Kent. And, Kent will go to England. See you
later.

President Winters (acting) January 1926 to
September 1926. Alma growing up! Needs a
tutor!

President Anderson 1926-1928, Kent State col-
lege now! Alma has a new dress (arts, college
and style) . Must learn how to act before company.
Walk across stage gracefully. That's how to do
things. Goodbye, must be on my way.

As long as there is knowledge and the will to learn, education goes on. Buildings aren't necessary.

In the beginning was the word. It grew to an
idea, then a reality. Thanks Mr. McGilvery.

Kent hall presents a strong, formidable structure in 1934. It is a building that is rep-
resentative of the tradition of the KSU campus for its strength, stability and fortitude.

The 1934 Homecoming celebration was a far cry
from the present well-planned and organized one.

"Where there's a will, there's a way." In spite of
the depression, six young men managed to keep in
school by living in a cottage on University property.

President Engleman 1928-1938. Alma, a big
girl now. We must get things in order. Then, too,
we must prepare for hard days ahead. Hard days,
indeed! Depression! No money, no jobs, no gad-
ding about! Morning and evening prayers! Bet-
ter days coming! And, come they did, bringing
buildings, a new college, a new degree and a new
name. Kent State University. President McGil-
very back. Still plugging and slugging and sing-
ing the hit tune — "Don't Fence Me In." Years
take toll. President Engleman says, "I must rest
for awhile, but I shall always be near for help and
advice."

President Leebrick 1938-1943. A new Univer-
sity! Seeking a place among the nation's best!
Dynamic! Decisive! War! All out for victory!
Everyone doing a job! Bring the army to the
campus! No time to fritter away! I'm going to
join up! Goodbye and good luck!

President Clark (acting) 1943-1944. It isn't
easy to be called out of the classroom to sit in the
president's chair. Quick adjustment to new situ-
ations! Ability and courage to defer judgment.
Keeping roads to the future open! Hats off to the
man who accepted a task and successfully com-
pleted it.

The flag went up on I wo Jima. Kent's hopes too,
took a rise. The end of the war was the begin-
ning of a huge University expansion program.

President Bowman 1944-. Of 2800 students
only 700 left. Of 1400 men only 100 left. All stu-
dent groups inactive! All student projects discon-
tinued! Limited appropriations! Army cadets
gone! Buildings and equipment out of repair!
Never was there greater need for strength, cour-
age and leadership. Came peace! Came the G.I.
bill! Came the veterans — forty-five hundred
strong! Five thousand! Six thousand! Teachers,
books, classrooms, living quarters; in short supply.

But President Bowman and his team brought
order out of chaos and all things in proper place
and perspective. New buildings all over the
campus, new courses, new objectives and new
enlargements, but of greatest importance, sound
scholarship and every safeguard for student wel-
fare! Golden years! Wonderful years! Affairs in
Korea affected Kent. A cold war with Russia af-
fected Kent. Political feuding and fussing affect-
ed Kent. Inflation affected Kent. But, Kent was
strong, virile and well prepared. Took every ob-
stacle in stride. Today, we say "This is Kent"
without reservations. Today, visitors exclaim. To-
day, skeptics are silent and the predictors of
doom move on to spots offering more encourage-
ment.

ENTRANCE

The war was over, the fighting was done. Happy reunions! Many servicemen had learned the neces-
sity of a college education. So back to the campus they came to enter a new phase of their lives.

Students, students, students — where-
ever you looked, students.

The clothes, time and place are different, but the idea will always be the same. KSU
graduates have, are and will spread the Kent name to all areas and corners of the world.

OAAj

UjQjnjdML. . .

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered is the attitude
taken by a freshman as he meets the outposts of KSU.

When we say "This is Kent" we can't merely
point a finger at a spot on the map, or at teachers
in classrooms, or at students crossing a campus, or
at piles of stones and towers of cement. Kent is
in Cleveland, in Akron, in Europe, in Asia and in
lands far removed from the spot located on Route
5 in Ohio. Wherever a student goes, there goes
Kent. Wherever an alumnus lives, there too, Kent
resides. When people say "On the land, sea, in the
air," they may refer to Kent; for surely of the
many who go by land travel, by ship or by plane
are those who live by the Kent tradition and the
Kent philosophy.

Were a tornado to strike down every campus
building and scatter records clear to Hudson Bay
the University would still be as active as ever.
Every alumni meeting is a University activity.
Each thought of Kent is a part of the institution.

When a student enters he brings with him or
her a part of the human heritage, a part of the
world of men and women. Through four years he
weighs, sorts, changes and enlarges his fund of
ideas, emotions, ambitions and determinations and
re-enters the world-at-large more able to lead and
serve. Going, he or she takes Kent along. Each
and all take a bit as Kent becomes more and more
a part of the wide, wide world.

On their way to share their learning with the world
so that it may be richer for Kent's teachings.

\o matter how fast the earth spins on its axis the sun still shines on a part oi KSU.

Sleepless nights were spent
trying to meet a deadline.

Campus Day says its one of those fun packed week-
ends for students, with floats, songfests and dancing.

Chorus lines, comic skits, music combos —
Pork Barrel — only one of the many KSU activities.

What about the Fourth Estate, the land of
make believe, the government — for the people, of
the people, by the people, the Greek invasion, the
Twin bands, the Fite Team Fite, the Campus Day
parade, the tux and the long dress, the name
bands, the air ways, the field trips and the New
York caravan; and the many more student
activities.

What about them? Tops, of course! The best
to be sure!

From the first day — every day — today, student
activities! That's the Kent way. Students write,
act, govern, present with pride, discuss, debate,
search, find, play, engage in the affairs of the
intellect, cling to the morality codes, reaffirm
faith in eternal verities and follow straight paths
in the pursuit of happiness.

Of course, there is history, always history!
From bulletin board notices came the printed
sheet — the Kent Stater. First a weekly; now a
daily!

From a thin booklet (The Kentonian) came
the Chestnut Burr. First a modest picture book;
now a spectacular volume!

From the impromptu stage shows, cooked up
over night, came the University Theater with
presentations comparable to Broadway produc-
tions.

From small groups of fast-talking corridor poli-
ticians came student government and a plan for
statutes and procedures.

From gatherings of like-minded students in
rooms, under trees, or around tables came fraterni-
ties and sororities — first local and now national.

From evening dances in Moulton Hall to music
by three students who could hit the same notes at
least half the time, came the proms, the Top Hop
and splendiferous affairs, featuring tails, white ties
and dreamy, lacy creations.

From a single-file parade of students carrying
lanterns came the wonderful Campus Day parade.

nings;

Yes, this is Kent. Built from a wonderful dream
and a perfect blueprint. Years have passed and
years will pass but what Kent was, is, and will be,
gives substance to an epic tale about a glorious
achievement in the human struggle for perfection
of body, mind and soul.

Tonight and every night, the child of the child
of the first coed will say "God Bless Mom, God Bless
Dad and God Bless Kent." No University could
ask for more.

Kent — a University — association of colleges —
community of academic departments — focus
center of learning — inspiration fount — cross-
roads of scholars — creator of democratic discus-
sion — leader, guide and protector of truth.

There is a pattern and a design. There is inter-
change of information, joint discussion, separation
of duties and a division of responsibilities. The
colleges serve selected groups but jointly serve
one objective — the personal and academic needs
of students.

Kent — a University — functioning efficiently
in rendering day by day service but constantly
broadening the horizons and planning for the
future. Kent, a university by name and blessed
with the virtue of universality stands in honor-
able position among the great family of educa-
tional institutions.

A beautiful and inspiring setting, Kent State
campus.

The tangible university — the city within a city,
A semi-circle of 21 buildings sprawl across
the 245 rolling acres of Kent's campus.

Tools of learning, the
symbols of education.

They appropriated the money, watched the
building reach skyward and then went on a tour.
Terrace Hall was only one of the projects of the
Board of Trustees.

Since the founding of the University this group
of men has formed the policies which make it pos-
sible to say, "This is Kent."

The Board of Trustees consists of six members,
five of whom are appointed, one each year, for a
term of five years, by the Governor of Ohio, with
the consent of the legislature. The sixth is the
State Superintendent of Public Instruction.

The past year brought approvement of a new
women's dorm; re-birth of the idea of a park next
to Moulton Hall; and a two-billion dollar, ten-
year, expansion program.

In the near future the members of the speech
department will get a twinkle in their eyes when
a theater and studio building is mentioned, the
business department will want more space, the
expanding science department will want new lab-
oratories. The granting of these wishes will come
only after many well thought out decisions by
this group of men.

Yes, the members of the Board of Trustees
make it possible to say, "THIS IS KENT."

Few if any, trustees of Kent State University have had
such ideal preparation and background of experience for
this type of public service. His devotion to this public
duty was evident from the first meeting he attended.

Since his illness, his faithful attendance has been
nothing short of heroic. He brought to the deliberations
of the board a wisdom and clear thinking which are rare.
The loss of such a member of our Board of Trustees is
incalculable.

George A. Bowman

Robert Guinther
University Trustee

^P-

A building is only as good as
its architect. KSU's planner
is President George Bowman.
His many hours of work have
brought him recognition as
the first citizen of Kent.

KSU-President George Bowman

A university torn by ravages of international
conflict, post-war problems and unprecedented
growth — these crises have been met, with many
being solved, since George Bowman took over
the reins of KSU.

Universities have varied segments which have
to be united. As a compound sentence needs a
coordinator, so Kent's coordinator takes the form
of President Bowman.

As the President, he is constantly faced with
campus problems. Many are large, some are
small, but no matter how big or how little, they
must be solved. His views sometimes conflict with
those of others, but a look at the past will prove
his right to the respect of his colleagues.

No one man can take all of the credit, but Dr.
Bowman has added much to the story of, "This is
Kent."

It is up to Eric X. Rackham, dean of the Liberal
Arts college, to see that students receive a general
education covering various fields of subject matter.

Dean Robert I. White has a big job on his hands
to maintain the growing reputation of the pioneering
effort of Kent college — the College of Education.

Deans of the Colleges

Ardyn L. Allyn, dean of Business Administration,
must keep his college in step with the ever-changing
and rapidly growing world of business and industry.

Through the doorway marked Raymond Clark, Dean
of the Graduate School, pass many a hopeful graduate
seeking further education toward a Master's degree.

Class scheduling and cred-
it transcripts receive the
attention of Charles E.
Atkinson, Kent registrar.

You decide to come to Kent,
but first you must be ap-
proved by Richard Rotzel,
director of admissions.

"KSU's Big Brother" is the
nickname given to Loren

1 LulliA , the school's di-
rector of student advising.

Administration

Dean of Women Margaret
Swanson can always be de-
pended on for just and
understanding decisions.

These are the active people who make Kent
State university a smooth-running organization.
Their time is diligently devoted to all of the
students and their main goal is to satisfy the stu-
dent's every need.

From the time the student enters the Univer-
sity until he walks out the exit, diploma in hand,
he feels the influence of these administrators.

Devising rules and regulations, scheduling
classes, sending out grades, giving helpful advice
and performing a thousand and one other services
are all handled capably by the administrative
staff.

Glen Nygreen, dean of men,
always has his door open
to all students who need
help with their problems.

Filling an important new
post created this year is
George Betts, in charge of
public relations affairs.

Julia YVaida, University
editor has the job ot
overseeing all official
University publications.

The man keeping the name
of the University before
the public is William Fish-
er, News Bureau director.

Publicity and Money

Good public relations with outsiders and plen-
ty of money to spend are both important assets of
any university.

Kent has a staff of efficient administrative of-
ficials to see that the University is well supplied
with both. The News Bureau and public relations
director keep Kent in the public eye. The busi-
ness manager and the comptroller handle the
finances.

With a mile-long shopping
list and plenty ol money
Emil Berg, business man-
ager keeps KSU supplied.

The man who pulls the Uni-
versity pursestrings and
handles finances is Paul
E. Beck, KSU comptroller.

A very "special" job is
that ot Clayton Schindler,
coordinator of extension
and special activities.

If you want a job, the man
to see is Lester Munzen-
mayer, director of the
Bureau of Appointments.

Ben McGinnis is the assist-
ant dean of men, coordi-
nator ot veteran's affairs
and the alumni secretarv.

There are always a few people who work be-
hind the scenes to carry on jobs that are vital to
the University and students. And what could be
more vital than the health and food services?

Also included in this category are special ser-
vices, aid to vets and the appointments bureau
which not only helps find jobs for KSU students,
but aids employers who inquire about job appli-
cants.

Special Services

Good health means good
students and better work
says Arville DeYVeese, head
of Student Health Center.

Students do get hungry and
Otto W. Pedersen, head
of Food Service, cooks up
the menus for each meal.

Department Heads --Busy People of KSU

A fifteen minute wait instead of ten. Why are
they so privileged? They are department heads!
They are in charge of the staff that transforms
students into responsible citizens that live in and
with their world. They are quite busy people con-
cerned with many details and the welfare of many
people.

Students may think they have troubles in mak-
ing out their schedules. Little do they realize!
The big headache belongs to the person who sees
to it they can have something to worry about.
There must be enough classes at the right hours,
which is after nine and before two. Professors are
needed to conduct the classes. Text books, prefer-

ably interesting ones, must be supplied.

The departments must keep up with the latest
developments and promote interest in their field.
The boss must see that his staff functions smooth-
ly. Students and professors need counseling and a
sympathetic ear to settle their problems.

This sounds like a pretty full job. It is! But
that isn't all. They must also prepare lessons and
find enough time to teach. At last we know why
the extra five minute wait. It takes them that
long to settle affairs and talk to enough people so
they can make their way out of their office for
fifty minutes.

University Police and Traffic Court

Student Traffic Court members are: Ronald Jyurovat,
Bud Mulcahey, Chief Justice; and Rosanne Modarelli.

The long arm of the law stretches across the
Kent State campus in the form of the University
Police Department and the Student Traffic Court.

Boasting a force of twelve men, the Kent State
University "gendarmes" regulate campus traffic
and parking.

Two important duties of Chief Coleman's men
are to register student-driven cars and to plan
visitor parking space during conventions at KSU.

The Traffic Court is an important part of the
police department. Appointed by Student Council,
the members of this board hear traffic violators'
cases. The board operates on a democratic basis to
decide the penalties.

These organizations make the campus a safe
and orderly community.

Art — the combination of tal-
ent, inspiration and meth-
od. KSU's life class has
them all. Talent is sup-
plied by the students; in-
spiration by the subjects;
method bv the instructor.

Talent, Toil, Temperament

Kent has them too. Students possessing a rare
combination of talent, inspiration and skill. These
men and women are commonly known as artists.
They produce good work because a deep sense of
pride is found in all works of art. Art is more than
a group of classes, it is a time when students have
a chance to display their talents in productive
work.

Various metals are turned
into objects of beauty and
practicality in the machine
shop as industrial arts ma-
jors and minors perfect
their skill in working with
the different machines.

Art For Art's Sake

Painting, sketching, sculpturing, modeling, de-
signing, or carving — they're all in KSU's art pro-
gram.

Students are models, artists, designers, or
whatever the role calls for. There are even a few
Bohemian types thrown in.

The "Greenwich Village" of Kent State has the
atmosphere and lacks only garrets for the "arty"
crowd.

Jumping from six majors
in 1947 to 130 this year,
Kent's department of arch-
itecture is shooting up like
the skycrapers which its
students will soon be de-
signing.

Paper and ink, paper and a typewriter, paper
and presses, these are the tools of Kent State's
School of Journalism which will celebrate its 25th
anniversary next year — its silver anniversary.

In spite of its youth, the school has quite a rep-
utation in the journalism world. Its graduates are
sought by newspapers and radio stations and for
public relations positions throughout the country.

Students learn to hand-set type and to print.

Many once-in-a-Iifetime pictures develop in the depart-
ment's student darkrooms which serve as a photography lab.

Professor William Taylor will celebrate his 20th
anniversary as head of the School of Journalism.

Sixteen years ago, Murray Powers,
managing editor of the Akron Beacon
Journal, was asked to come and teach
editing classes temporarily, until
someone else could be secured. He
did such a good job, he's still here.

Time is precious and we try to save all we can. This
class in the study of time and motion uses a movie
camera to find ways of conserving motion in working.

Students Get the Business

te&nQJi

^~ +L*cm

Typists work against time for speed and accuracy,

In University Courses

Financial pages are scanned, knotted pieces of
adding machine tape clutter up the floor and
typewriters clack away. This is Kent State's
College of Business Administration.

Soon after entering school, the students check
a list of twenty odd fields to pick what they hope
will be their future work. Whether they decide on
accounting, finance, general business, commerce-
art, retail management, or sales management, the
staff of the college is ready to help them choose
the courses which will be most useful.

Profits! Byword of modern business. How to make
profits is an important lesson taught in accounting.

Giving the "business" to their students is all
in a day's work for the professors of the College
of Business Administration.

Founded with three main objectives: to lay a
good foundation in liberal education, to aid the
student in choosing a major field that suits his
background and to train students in their special-
ized field, the B.A. college is steadily growing.

Due to its newness, the college lists no great
leaders among the country's businessmen. How-
ever, four members of the staff are listed in "Who's
Who in America" — Drs. Kokendorff, Wilber, An-
thony and Allyn.

Looking into the records of the over 2000 B.A.
graduates show that the great majority have re-
ceived jobs, due in part to the growing reputation
of Kent's Business College.

Charts, graphs and lec-
tures are all a part of
the College of Business
Administration program.

It is all a part of learning. Games give children a chance to learn to partici-
pate in groups and to follow directions carefully. At the same time it pro-
vides a little relaxation for the pupils and teacher.

Teacher And Student Learn Together

In recent years a demand for efficient teachers
has echoed and re-echoed throughout Ohio and
the rest of the nation. Since its founding in 1912,
KSU has been answering this call.

Spurred on by the slogan, "The child, his cares,
needs, and environment," the College of Education
strives to help future teachers gain new and more
far-reaching perspectives for training the youth of
America.

Actual classroom problems and practices are
met by KSU education majors through the student
teaching internship program, which sends future
teachers to aid the faculty in local schools, and
gives the students a chance to cope with real life
situations.

Continued increase in enrollment has brought
many problems which have been solved through
the addition of new departments, an enlarged pro-
fessorial staff, and the establishment of numerous
workshops, and conferences designed to help the
district, as well as the student educator.

A secondary education major shows a high school art
class how to be artistic with just paper and wire.

A student teacher gets first-hand experience in
learning how to get along well with the younger set.

Chemicals and test tubes—
for centuries. Yet, Kent

•the tools of the chemist
State's laboratories and

equipment are a far cry from the crude instruments
that marked the alchemists of the Medieval period.

Facts, Research, The Thrill of Discovery

Whether the study of plants or of animals,
it is science; and it is offered among the
Kent State university's 150 science courses.

Kent Keeps Apace Of
The World Of Science

The indescribable "thrill of discovery" when
laboratory experiments yield some new fact is the
underlying reason for the tremendous interest in
Kent's science department. The department offers
students a wide variety of opportunities to delve
into the ever-changing realm of chemistry, physics
and biology.

In keeping with the recent trend of University
expansion. McGilvrey hall, in cooperation with
Goodyear research scientists, constructed a radar
research tower on its roof. The presence of such a
tower, while helping to make the area effectively
prepared for the detection of enemy planes and
missiles, affords students first-hand experience in
learning about the growing field of radar.

In addition to the laboratory and research
work, there is basic background material which
one finds in textbooks. Certain knowledge con-
cerning formulas, theories, laws and principles
must be acquired before experiments can bear
fruit.

Formulas must be followed to the enth degree in
any chemical experiment lor it to be successful.

Weights, measures and slide rules. Complicated
motors, generators, equipment of all kinds are

used in the physics courses at Kent, as students
find the answers needed using these and formulas.

Rock strata, fossils, minerals, earth formations
are all fascinating subjects to geology students.

There is more to the study of mathematics
than just learning that A plus B equals C.

Whatever the Subject, Kent Teaches It

Music is an art and Kent
instructors try to per-
fect the artistry of stu-
dent musicians. Singers
and band and orchestra
members, alike, get the
best training possible.

Students find out how they operate, mentally
and physically, in KSU's psychology classes.

Not Just A College;
It Is A University

A college becomes more than just a college — it
becomes a university — when it starts offering a
liberal education and wide variety of background
courses.

Training in cooking, sewing and household
management may be just as important in the edu-
cation of one person as physics and chemistry
would be to another. And there are some subjects
that benefit the person himself no matter where
his interests lie and what his future work is to be.

Studying psychology and sociology, man's re-
lationship with man and with himself, helps stu-
dents to get along better in the world. And what
about the arts that give pleasure to so many —
music, painting, designing?

Wherever the students' interests lie, Kent State
university has a course of study for him. Kent
has something for everyone.

Kent's H. P. E. courses teach students how to swim,
dance and play a good game of baseball or tennis.

If they don't teach it, at least they
can use their knowledge at home, is
the philosophy of many who enroll in
Kent State's home economics courses.

Clinics Are Human Service Stations

There comes a time in everyone's life when he
needs help — help from someone besides himself.
The clinics of Kent State university are set up to
give this help whenever needed to whoever
needs it. The only question they consider foolish
is the one you don't ask.

There are services of many kinds for people
with many different problems. These services are
offered through a variety of media — libraries,
films, tapes and counseling. In fact, the University
is the national repository of masters of all edu-
cational programs listed in the National Tape
Recording catalog.

Among services offered are guidance tests,
speech and hearing correction, perfection of skill
in reading, counseling in problems of personal ad-
justment and above all, the means of maintaining
good health.

The clinics, which provide these confidential
services free to students, faculty and townspeople,
also are an excellent training ground for students
going into the field.

Kent's Audio-Visual Aids department is one of the
most complete and up-to-date of its kind in the U. S.

University students make use of the library phono-
graphs and its collection of records in many ways.

Good speech is an important asset, particularly to
college students. And one clinic works in this field.

Class Time Is Here Once More

Fallen leaves, a bright sunny day, a long line
of cars and students traipsing across campus says
it's time for classes. In the various class buildings
Kent Staters may learn anything from Robin-
hood's archery techniques in warfare to Plato and
Aristotle's theories of philosophy.

Art, Architecture, And Aviation

Artistic on the outside, artistic on the inside, —
this is the Arts building. Its modern lines and
symmetry inspire art students attending classes
here. Here industrial art majors work in the
machine shop and architecture students busily
draw plans of buildings of the future. And even
aeronautics has a place here, with two airplanes
and a glider.

Fact or Fiction— The Library Has It

Rockwell Library — Kent's warehouse of fact
and fiction. More than 100,000 volumes and public
documents lie within its walls. Current periodicals
are on hand to keep students and faculty up to
date. Records can be played on the numerous
phonographs with selections ranging from Debussy
to foreign languages.

Out of Hieh School

And off to College

For whom do the bells toll? For
KSU students. The alarm clock be-
gins the day. Class bells ring and
the daily routine is on. The tele-
phone jingles and a late per is taken
for a date. The clock chimes one,
all is quiet. Later a stuck car horn
blares forth. Then the alarm again.
Darn those bells.

Crossroads of Kent's Campus.

The Mall — short-cut from classrooms to the

and water fountain provide refreshing relaxation.

They Worked Hard
And Often Despaired

Fall is colorful, winter is cold and
spring is wet. Weather is a favorite
topic of conversation at KSU. Indian
summer lasts longer, the thermometer
reads below freezing half the time, and
if you don't have hip boots as a part of
your spring outfit, you're sunk.

There were many lost weekends
— that is many weekends when
Kent looked lost. Weekends when
it was deserted by all except the
squirrel and the chipmunk. And
weekends when high school stu-
dents thronged Kent, and came to
get a first-hand view of a univer-
sity.

Crowd after Crowd after Crowd

High above the stadium is the MPE building.
7000 jam it for basketball games. Thousands crowd
in to watch graduation exercises. Masses flock to
it to hear noted speakers. Dances held there pack
them in. And the MPE building, completed in
September, 1950, has room for them all.

But Won Their Goal
As KSU Graduates

The long, up-hill climb is over! They
reached the top, not as numerous as
when they started. Lines weren't as
long for registration and last-minute
courses tied up the loose ends. Final
months were a flurry of senior pictures,
caps and gowns. Yes, they had finished
their training, but the job was just be-
ginning. Now, they must apply that
training.

Low Man On the Totem Pole

Silence reigns as Moulton Hall girls spend a
quiet evening studying. Down the hill from the
main campus, this freshman girls' dorm has finally
gotten rid of its crowded conditions which have
existed at various times, the most recent being
last fall before Terrace Hall was finished.

"Men do not live by bread alone." How often
have we spoken these words: Over and over again.

Men live by environment and influence. Men
live within intellectual formats. Men live by
moral codes and spiritual faiths, but always the
living must be through action — purposeful action.

Campus activities reflect the basic urges, the
states of mind, the desires for expression and the
dreams of creative endeavor. The activities are
outlets for student ambitions. At Homecoming and
on Campus Day there are outbursts of inventive
artistry and demonstrations of perfected skills.
The publications prosper because of the founda-
tional wish for thought expression. When the band
marches across the field every student marches
with it in spirit. Every student runs with the
touchdown speedster and every student groans
with suffering when the play bogs down.

Artistic skill, clever ideas, long range planning
and teamwork set the scene for the day's ac-
tivities. The entire campus works hard.

Time may mellow them, but
the memories are fresh.

Lights, Camera, Action-As Kent Focused On
Its Annual Short Course In Press Photography

Kent State's 13th annual Short Course in
Press Photography heralded the arrival of
256 camera bugs. From across the con-
tinent they came — California, Michigan,
Florida, Canada. Kent became the focal
point for the nation's cameramen.

These photographers invaded Engleman
Hall. The coeds were off on spring vaca-
tion, so they missed the discovery that
the sloppily-dressed, over-burdened with
bulky equipment, press photographer of
the past is no longer with us. In his place
is a well-dressed, neat gentleman.

A survey of the 106 press photographers
showed that 49 had completed college, 54
had gone through high school, and only
three had gone no further than the 8th
grade.

Short Course was the longest convention
held here with delegates from so many
different places and from such great
distances.

Cheese-cake a la mode, served at short course shoot-
ing sessions, was the favorite dish ot the photogs.

"This is how it's done," said Ed Farber to informa-

tion-seeking photographers .luring one bull session. They ^ thcm ^ ^ M worked[ short Course

members left to KSU the rubble of a week's work.

Photogs Invade Campus

President Bowman opened the 1954 Short
Course with a welcoming address. He was fol-
lowed by the keynote speaker, Jess Gorkin, editor
of Parade magazine. From then on, the 4-day pro-
gram continued under the able leadership of such
noted photographers as Barney Cowherd, best
known for his street-corner shot titled "Main
Street, U.S.A.;" Arthur Rothstein, technical direc-
tor of photography for Look magazine and David
Eisendrath Jr., technical editor of Industrial
Photography.

The highlight of the conference was the annual
banquet at Twin Lakes Country Club. Pulitzer
prize winner, Frank "Pappy" Noel, was the main
speaker of the evening. Held prisoner in Korea by
the Chinese communists for three years, he came
home alive to tell of his experiences.

Shutter sessions gave the photographers a
chance to relax and shoot cheese-cake of gorgeous
models. One outstanding subject was Miss Tina
Glidewell, holder of the "Miss Ohio Press Pho-
tographer of 1954" title.

Bull sessions were held. Viewpoints were
traded. New and old techniques were discussed.

Kent's annual Photo Short Course has become
nationally known. The 1954 Short Course proved
highly successful, and like Kent itself, every year
becomes bigger and better.

Pictured left to right are: top, David Eisendrath
Jr., free lance photographer; George A. Smallsreed
Jr., Columbus Dispatch; middle, Jess Gorkin, Parade;

Dispatch and Miss Ohio Press Photographer of 1954.

After displaying their wares,
the manufacturers of photo-
graphic supplies gathered
in the Arts building for a
question-and-answer session.

Russians Are Fooled
In "Transatlantic"

Three Russian spies who mistook plans
of a comfort station for atomic secrets
provided the plot for the 1954 "No Time
For Classes" production. Student-written,
acted, directed and produced, the NTFC
musical comedy, "Transatlantic," marked
the 10th year for Kent State's annual all-
student production.

The fast-moving episode concerns a fra-
ternity man who is given an assignment to
go abroad in order to obtain a site suitable
for a comfort station. Hank, who designed
the station, is aided by interested frater-
nity brothers. The plot becomes more
involved when Hank's girlfriend follows
him in disguise.

This complication leads to another when
the spies appear on the scene. Their error
is discovered and they are doomed to the
salt mines. When Hank finally realizes that
his girl is following him, and it appears
that no one in Europe wants a comfort
station anyway, everyone returns home.

Particularly impressive were the music
and script, which could only be described
as "professional." Words and music were
written by Tom Wissen, Don Thompson,
and John Wilson. The play was produced
by Gary Banas and directed by John Mor-
row. Nancy Wood was the choreographer.

The cast included: Joan Arick as the
girlfriend; Frank Merolla as Hank; Jerry
Rice, Cal Johns and Nancy McKenna as the
spies and John Whitmore as the waiter.

Lamp light and a lone-
some girl — atmosphere.

Hank was fooled by
the French disguise.

Sing, my comrades;
I am a loyal Red.

Gay extras cavort in
NfFC's spy-thriller.

Cafe dancers and chorus
set the scene for a musi-
cal comedy of foreign in-
trigue, complete with a
hero, a heroine, and three
mixed-up Russian spies.

Student -Written, Acted, Directed; NTFC A Success

The obliging waiter in the cafe was not obliged to
like the joke of Hank, our traveling college hero.

Female counterpart of Russian spies tried to use her
charms on Hank so she could steal the secret plans.

Some of the show's chorus girls are caught teasing
the bartender during one of the numerous rehearsals.

The spy trio broke into tears at the thought of be-
ing doomed to a Russian salt mine for their mistake.

Posing as real carny men, Dick Shaheen, Tom McCarthy, and Gene Buffo
brought out the gambling spirit in enough carnival-goers to secure for
Alpha Tau Omega the first place trophy in the fraternity division.

Pennies Paved Carnival Midway

And who would-
n't like his pic-
ture taken with
a lovely model?

Pretty girl targets for a
powder-puff barrage was
Moulton's winning booth.

The ISA's balloon-shaving
contest went over with a
big bang at the carnival.

Customers' big smiles
must indicate the dice
were rolling their way.

Fun For Everyone

Penny Carnival — Kent State's mardi gras —
wild, noisy, glaring. Barkers screamed from their
booths while students and townspeople dug deep
into their pockets. Lined up on the midway in
Wills gym, 24 colorful booths both Greek and
independent, competed for top prizes.

Dice games, dart throws, a carnival photo
racket and a mouse race netted 73,002 pennies
for the Blue Key and Cardinal Key Scholarship
fund.

Pennies from heaven in the form of dough balls went whizzing toward
three feminine targets in Delta Zeta's booth at Penny Carnival. Their
only consolation was that they were doing it for a worthwhile cause.

The Alpha Xi Delta's ring-
a-leg booth attracted eager
spectators and contestants.

Cardinal Key members and Campus Day queen finalists formed an honor
guard in white against the background of a beautiful spring day to
complement the arrival of the 1954 Campus Day Queen, Sue Ann Hurd.

Color, Song, And Dancing
Sparked '54 Campus Day

Colorful floats lined up behind shiny new con-
vertibles. Band players tuned up their instru-
ments. Paraders fell into line. And crowds min-
gled everywhere.

This was Campus Day at Kent, the brightest
day of spring quarter.

At 11 a.m. Delta Upsilon fraternity's "K" Girl
started the festivities by painting the stone "K."

Noontime came with an honor guard of Cardi-
nal Key members escorting the 1954 Campus Day
queen and her attendants to the royal throne.

Then the highlight of the day — the long, wind-
ing parade of multicolored floats portraying songs.

All in honor of the Kent State campus and its
students and faculty.

The "K" Girl, escorted by DU's Chuck Miller, began
the day with the traditional painting of the K-stone.

The entrance of her royal highness, Queen Sue Hurd.

Barefooted ballerinas frolicked around the maypole.

"Beethoven's 5th," bottle or symphony, was the
men's independent division winner for Stopher.

A land version of the "Showboat" was Sigma Alpha
Epsilon's second place winner among the fraternities.

Lowry Hall took us back to "Toyland" as the dorm
took first in the women's independent competition.

Second place in the men's independent division went
to the Vets club with the "Merrv Oldsmobile" float.

The roaring 20's were brought to life as the Delta
Tau Delta's won first place with "Collegiate."

Alpha Chi Omega's trolley ran along without tracks
as their "Trolley Song" float captured first place.

Front campus served as an outdoor amphitheater for
the Campus Day Songfest. Spectators sprawled on
the sloping hillside to listen to the open-air concert.

Songfest, once just an informal singing session,
has now grown into a formal contest between
various campus organizations.

For the fourth consecutive year, Chi Omega and
Delta Tau Delta won first place in their respective
divisions. The Chi O's won with "Clair de Lune"
and the Delts with "Country Fair Waltz."

In the independent women's and men's divi-
sions, Kappa Phi won with "The Song Is You"
and Men's Band with "Louisiana Hayride."

Amidst shrieks of delight from happy float and song-
fest contestants, winners received their trophies.

Anthony's band broke through the crowd with its
popular "When the Saints Go Marchin' In" rendition.

Top Band Draws Crowd

Campus Day royalty Doris Dalitz, Queen Sue Ann
Hurd and Marilyn Kapcar smiled for the crowd.

Tired after Campus
Day activities, KSU
couples came alive in
the evening to dance
to the ever-popular
music of Ray Anthony
in an over-crowded
MPE building.

Water, boats, a hillside full of spectators set
the scene for 1954 Regatta at Hudson Springs.

Fraternity muscle men were encouraged by the crowd
as the first man went down in their tug-of-war contest.

1954 Rowboat Regatta
Was Splashing Success

"Bigger and better than ever" was the motto
for the 1954 Rowboat Regatta, Kent's answer to
the Poughkeepsie boat races.

The site was Hudson Springs park, a perfect
spot with lots of water and plenty of hillside.

Famous personalities were called in to high-
light the races. Emcee Joe Mulvihill, WTAM disc
jockey, brought two singing and recording stars
with him. University talent rounded out the show.

A rainy morning didn't dampen the spirits of
participants and spectators, for by noon a mile-
long Regatta parade was heading for Hudson. At
last the clouds broke and the sun was shining as
the cars entered the park.

TV cameras rolled as queen candidates paraded
across the platform. Then they turned their lenses
on rowers and tug-o-war men.

The crowd shouted encouragement to their
favorite rowers and cried in dismay when an oar
was dropped. They groaned and grunted as tug-
o-war men pulled and strained at the rope.

It was a wonderful Regatta. The best yet.

Stationed in the middle of the lake on a flag-bedecked
float, the judges sent word back to land after each
race announcing the winner and his rowing time.

Taking a break between races, the crowd stretched out on the grass for a rest
and some refreshment while enjoying the entertainment provided between events.

Queen finalists waited on the reviewing stand for
judging. They were Carol Hampton, Ginny Madden,
Eleanor Bland, Betty Hasson and Marilyn Vargo.

Into a huddle went Lin Houston, Brown's guard,
Coach Trevor Rees and Joe Mulvihill, disc jockey, to
call signals and to "spin" out the queen of the regatta.

Age makes no difference when
excitement is in the air.

Pull, we still have a chance.
This tug-of-war is dragging.

Wyoma Winters, recording
star, entertained at Regatta.

A snack bolstered his spirit
so he could cheer refreshed.

The queen's trophy looked
pretty, even in another's arms.

The prexy and his wife
were among Regatta fans.

Spring Hums With
Activity-Full Weeks

Everything happens in Spring. It is
then that the campus comes alive.

An annual barrage of high school
editors and reporters invaded Kent's
campus for the press clinic sponsored
by NEOSP.

The first quartet contest put on by
Alpha Phi Omega, gave first place
honors to Delta Gamma and Alpha
Tau Omega.

To top it all off, there was a snow-
fall in May. But this only added to
the feverish pitch of excitement. A
beard growing contest, political cam-
paign, and a water show — all part of
busy weeks.

But everything must come to an
end. Seniors graduate, students take
their final exams, and the school year
closes.

Winners in beard growing contest were Dick Shaheen
and Paul Stokes. Gene Kestranek made sure its for real.

Honored at MSA banquet were Tom Meinhardt,
ATO Manhood trophy; Herb Ryan, Manchester cup.

Sharks club members formed a huge floating cross by
candlelight in their "Aqua-Campus" water-ballet show.

Students made their voices in politics heard by using
their right to vote, even if it meant a short wait.

Collegiate noses rubbed the ground as the guys
did their best in the peanut-pushing contest.

Local "Olympic" Champs
Sparked May Day Relays

Female athletes compete in one of themanyraces under
a decided handicap of having their legs tied together.

Spectators' expressions showed their mixed emotions
as friend met foe in the local "olympic" contests.

Bigger than flies, but just as slippery, balloons
proved a hard target for the newspaper swatters.

Girls have muscles too, as clearly shown by the
five young ladies pulling hard in the tug-of-war.

President Bowman Honored
For Ten Years of Service

The sociology award for the outstanding senior woman
was presented to Margaret Anderson by Chi Omega.

Students "lined up" spring work with the payment
of fees after the final juggling of their schedules.

Students Receive Awards

Practically everyone received honors spring
quarter. The most outstanding of these was the
assembly held in honor of President Bowman's
10th anniversary at Kent. Surprises for the Presi-
dent included a brochure showing physical devel-
opment of the university and unveiling the
portrait of the President, painted by Professor
Novotny, head of the school of art.

153 were cited for scholarship at the 22nd an-
nual Honors Day assembly, and trophies went to
dorms, fraternities and sororities.

President Bowman again figured in the picture
when he presented decorations and trophies to dis-
tinguished members of the Army and Air Force
ROTC.

The graduates of four years of ROTC were given their long-awaited

commissio

ns to rank of second lieutenants.

6 50 Honored On
Graduation Day

The memorable day was
here, one that the senior
would remember the rest of
his life.

The day that the parents
and friends search the sea of
young adults seated in front
of them, looking for their own
son or daughter. They recog-
nize them, smile proudly, and
look as if they want to poke
the person in front of them
and say, "That's mine — the
one whose cap is slightly
tilted. Doesn't he look like a
graduate?"

This was June 12, 1954,
graduation day for 650 Kent
seniors.

Speaker Dr. S. E. Gerard
Priestly, British historian,
threw out a challenge to them
and President Bowman
praised them.

Then the conferment of de-
grees, quickly followed by the
recessional to waiting con-
gratulations.

Students and faculty in scholarly cap and gown, well-wishing
friends and relatives, filled the MPE building on graduation day.

A sigh of relief
escaped graduates
after the ceremony.

;a—

Shaded walks offered a cool retreat and a rolling green campus tempted
students on their way to class. This was summer school at Kent State,
— sizzling days and balmy nights. Green trees, green grass and multi-
colored flowers with weekends of lazy swimming and sunning for tans.

Workmen broiled in the hot sun as work got under way
on constructing a new stand for the football stadium.

Dressed for the weather, these
practicing twists and twirls ir

majorettes enjoyed
the summer heat.

Sunshine and Cokes

The days were hot and so were the classrooms,
but KSU summer school students managed to cool
off between classes by sipping cokes in the Hub
and studying their lessons outdoors.

Besides those who stayed to add credits, there
were the graduate students, back to work towards
a higher degree. Changes in the administration
were made when a new publicity post was created
by President Bowman.

Social and cultural life were highlighted with
programs featuring Rise Stevens and the Cleve-
land Summer Symphony orchestra. Speakers of
international importance, General Carlos P. Rom-
ulo and Dwight Cooke, added a touch of foreign
flavor.

To spark up the last few waning weeks, the
first dog show was held at Kent State.

And then, though the days were still hot and
long, summer school was over. The campus rested
for a few weeks before the rush of freshman week.

One of the many programs offered by the University
during the summer was the Portage County Dog show
which attracted both thoroughbreds and dog lovers.

Summer Term Included
Study, Culture, Fun

"Standing room only," was the case at the annual
summer concert of the Cleveland Symphony orchestra
as students and townspeople turned out in force.

No, not a ticket! Just some tips on how to drive.
These State Highway Patrolmen were attending the
University's refresher course in driver-education.

Record Frosh Enrollment
Follows Nationwide Trend

"Hey Frosh, dink" was the delight of upperclassmen
and the dread of new comers during Freshman week.

Autos jammed campus curbs
as fall registration began.

An informal dance gave freshmen a chance to become better acquainted and see a part of college life.

Dink-topped freshmen flocked to the Men's Physic;
Ed building to listen to President Bowman's annu;

welcoming address for new students. Also on the
program was music provided by the Kent faculty.

Kent State opened a new world to a record-

freshman week.

Dinks, proper attire of the week, were seen en

and reception and at Meet the Faculty Night
Mixers like the Freshman Hop, the Freshman

Kent's sweetheart of sweethearts, Homecoming queen Marilyn Kapcar
and her court entered through a sabre arch of shining silver to pierce
the human heart formed by KSU's Twin Marching bands as they played
"A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody" during the game's halftime show.

Cold Start But Warm Finish - Homecoming of '54

Crisp, cold weather, shivering judges, and half-frozen students —
this was Kent's 1954 Homecoming.

Students, not yet thawed out from an all-night vigil working
on house decorations, joined enthusiastic alumni to watch the
KSU-BG clash.

Warm coffee and hot dogs were in demand at halftime as a
huge crowd enjoyed a halftime show featuring "Droodles" by BG
and a heart formed by the Twin Marching bands for the introduction
of the Homecoming queen.

The big thrill came just at the end of the game when Kent's
Rittichier raced 90 yards to beat BG 28-25.

At night, an overflowing crowd of 4,000 couples danced to the
smooth rhythmic beat of Woody Herman and his "Third Herd" in
the men's gym.

They cheered like mad as their sons did their best for "Dad" and beat
Western Michigan. A fitting tribute to a father on "Dad's Day."

Rain-soaked Dads Rewarded By Sons' Victory

The KSU band blared forth with its own brand of
cheering when the spectators' voices gave out.

Huddled together on the benches beside the
football field, sat proud but rain-soaked fathers
of the KSU football team. Each wore his son's
number printed on a huge cardboard plaque on
his back.

To celebrate the occasion, the band put on a
special show during halftime ending up in grand
style by spelling out the word, "Dad". But the
finishing touch was supplied by the sons them-
selves as the Flashes beat Western Michigan, 20-13.

Win or lose, rain or shine — it didn't make much
difference to the Golden Flashes. It was still an
exciting weekend — one they're bound to remem-
ber the rest of their lives.

Despite bad weather conditions, many Evans-
ville football fans turned out to cheer on their
favorite. Although plans didn't materialize so that
Kent students could make the long trip, spirit was
still high on the home front with students travel-
ing to the bowl game via their radios.

The "Messiah", an annual Christmas presentation, featured the"150-member
Oratorio Guild and KSU's symphony orchestra. Four professional soloists
highlighted the occasion which was open to the public free of any charge.

Stopher Hall men took part in the Christmas spirit
by giving a party for the underprivileged children.

Christmas is rich with the spirit of charity.
Charity is defined as "loving all men as brothers
because they are sons of God." Gifts in the name
of charity are not important solely for the material
value; they are greatly enhanced by the acts of
kindness and thoughtfulness they symbolize.

Christmas is rich in tradition. Tradition that
becomes more meaningful as it mellows with age.
The caroling, midnight services, the tree and the
spirit behind the gifts mean even more, knowing
that it has gone on for centuries.

Kent does her part at Christmas to provide a
taste of the Christmas spirit for the students and
faculty before they leave on their long-awaited
vacation. Parties and dinners, decorations and

Numerous Events Spark
Fall Quarter Activity

Not always capturing headlines, but neverthe-
less important in campus life, Fall quarter events
included speakers, plays, campus changes and
improvements and a host of social activities.

Chilled but loyal students huddled in the un-
completed football stands then under construc-
tion. Campus politics absorbed many students'
time and work as elections drew near. "Jaywalk-
ers" were discouraged from their practices when
a new traffic light was installed at Terrace and
Portage drives.

Dr. S. E. Gerald Priestly, British historian and
author, spoke on the world situation. At the an-
nual Presidents' banquet, James L. Wick was the
speaker.

The Christmas spirit prevailed as the Oratorio
Guild and the KSU symphony orchestra combined
to present "The Messiah." "Night Must Fall" and
"Justice" were University theater productions of
the quarter.

One of the biggest, all-out political campaigns Kent
had seen on the campus was the rip-roaring rally
between B-G and Nu-K, complete with calliope.

Construction was completed on the new stadium stands before the last few games of the season were played.

Planning an extensive building program, one of the structures started early in the year was the Training school.

Expansion — From Buildings To Water Coolers

Expansion was the keynote of the autumn
quarter at KSU. Kent State University Training
school began its rise from the mud and water
where excavation began. Work continued on the
new football stands which had been started dur-
ing the summer. While the Training school was

slowly rising from the Summit street tract, a
radar experimental station appeared on the sky-
line atop McGilvrey hall. All improvements were
not of a mammoth variety as a small but mighty
water cooler appeared as a pleasant surprise in
Kent hall.

Winter Events

Alpha Phi's "Salute to George M. Cohen" won the
critics' top praise in the sorority competition.

Hilarity reigned as Stopher made poor "Willie" S.
turn over in his grave with a take-off on Caesar.

Animated creatures were the center of attraction
as Moulton hall presented "Swinging On A Star."

From Caesar to Shane
Featured at Pork Barrel

A packed house witnessed another annual Pork
Barrel on February 11-12; sponsored by AWS and
MSA. Organized by Pat Barber and Jerry Hayes,
co-chairmen, Pork Barrel was comprised of fra-
ternities, sororities and independent groups on
campus. Taking first place honors for the third
straight year in the fraternity division was Delta
Upsilon. The audience was taken on a make-be-
lieve trip to the Orient by a skit entitled "Cool
Saki — Goes to the Orient." A touch of history was
added by "Is This Your Life Julius?" and "Drums
Along the Cuyahoga."

An African setting was the scene for "Innova-
tions in Bongo." It appeared that "travel" played
an important role in the 1955 Pork Barrel theme,
and "Drane" was no exception; it was built around
a western scene.

Music also played a predominant part in Pork
Barrel in the form of "A Salute to George M. Co-
hen, "A Toast to America," and "Swinging on a
Star." Between acts, the audience was entertain-
ed by various musical, pantomime and comedy
skits. The general response to Pork Barrel 1955
was very favorable as was shown by the attend-
ance and the applause. Acting as emcees for both
nights of Pork Barrel were Bob Williams and Jack
Rittichier.

Following the tradition begun in the '30's by
their predecessors, Alpha Phi entertained the ac-
tive Greeks at the annual All-Greek formal, Feb-
ruary 18th, 1955. The setting for the gala occasion
was Meyers Lake, Canton, with Charlie Pickens
and his orchestra furnishing the music. As the
couples gathered for the dance, they saw the ball-
room decorated with the colorful banners of their
fraternities and sororities. The friendly atmos-
phere of dancing and talking put aside the tradi-
tional competition of the Greek world. Dancing
continued until midnight, and at the conclusion,
the happy couples left the All-Greek until another
year.

Fountain lights continued to change colors as Alpha
Phi pledges were introduced to the rest of the Greeks.

Greeks Pack Meyers Lake for Apha Phi-Sponsored Dance

Charlie Pickens and his orchestra provided the tempo for the
Greeks trying out the dance floor. Others just relaxed and took ad-
vantage of the chairs which had been put there for the foot-weary.

110

The Alpha Phi's under the direction of Ann Lee Metcalf sang out with
melodic tones to their brother fraternity Sigma Nu at the All Greek.

Alpha Phi Pledges
Meet Other Greeks

Intermission found the Phis in the limelight, as
President Marlene Hallock welcomed the Greeks
and their dates. Alpha Phi actives formed a court
through which nine girls who became members
since last year's dance and fifteen new pledges
walked as they were introduced to the Greeks of
the campus. As each was presented she received
a rose from Carol Evans, social chairman. Actives
and pledges joined to serenade those attending.
In return, Sigma Nu, their brothers, sang to the
new members.

Marlene Hallock, president of Alpha Phi introduced
another pledge as the rest of the sorority watched.

The crowd stood entranced by the "hot trumpet" of Ralph Marterie,
one of the top bandleaders in the country, as he played a top hit.

A "cosy" atmosphere
pervaded the evening
of dancing to Marterie.

Music for easy lis-
tening is played for
Military Ball guests.

A Splashing Fountain
And Sparkling Music

The lights dimmed, the fountain began to spar-
kle and one of the top bands in the nation began
to play as the University's biggest and most spec-
tacular and dramatic social event of the year got
underway.

The seventh annual Military Ball replaced the
abandoned Top Hop as the event to look forward
to on the year's social calendar.

Dancing to the music of Ralph Marterie and
his downbeat orchestra, the student body and
members of both the Army and Air Force ROTC
units took adequate advantage of the smooth
dance music.

Intermission ceremonies were highlighted by
the sabre-arched procession of the queen and her
royal crowning in front of the bandstand. Picked
through popular vote of the Cadet Corps, the
queen and her two attendants received flowers
and gifts from campus organizations and then
left the spotlight escorted by the Corps, Wing and
Regimental commanders, back through the sabre
arch.

Gifts for the royalty were presented to Rosemarie Perkowski, queen of

113

Twirp Night

Many activities constituted the social life of
the University during Winter quarter. Two of
these activities were the Jazz club and Twirp
Night.

The Jazz Club is a new organization and is
based on the ever-increasing popularity of modern
jazz. The club grew very quickly and now has a
membership which exceeds 100. Its influence
spread over the campus when it had Teddy Charles
and his jazz combo to play for Twirp Night.

Twirp Night was quite a change from the us-
ual procedure. The coeds opened doors, lighted
cigarettes and carried books for the men. This was
the system of reverse etiquette for Twirp Day.
The day was highlighted with the jazz concert
held at night. The feature of this concert was the
crowning of the Twirp King who was selected
from candidates nominated by the women's dormi-
tories and sororities.

A good-sized crowd turned out for KSU's first jazz
concert that provided the evening entertainment for
Twirp Day and to pick the Twirp Kirigfrom Contestants.

The Teddy Charles Quartet really
for the students. That's Charles

Frank Torok better known as "Earth Angel" received
his trophy as Twirp King during the intermission.

Miss Kent State, Mary Ann Bamberger, received her trophy from
Sally Andrus while attendants Joan Webster, Char Frolo and Bar-
bara Curtis stood by. All four girls were given flowers and gifts
from various organizations and sororities during intermission time.

The University Social Committee made its sec-
ond annual contribution of the year to the KSU
campus in the form of Eddie Grady and his 14-
piece band, The Commanders playing for the Top
Hop.

Miss Mary Ann Bamberger, Miss Kent State,
and her attendants were presented at intermission
time. Aside from the well-known "Elephant Tan-
go", the Commanders offered a great variety, both
in talent and tempo of music. Eddie Grady's tech-
nique on the drums was, without question, super-
ior. Up through 1953, the Top Hop has been held
in the form of a dance. After poor attendance for
three years in succession, the Social Committee
decided to try something new. Thus it became a
concert in 1954 and 1955.

Winter — Providing Fun
And Activities Galore

At one time Winter quarter was considered a
"dead" quarter. But after the 1954 activity-
packed term, skeptics took a second look and
changed their attitude. There was the highly
successful Pork Barrel, the annual Snowball
formal, Military Ball, Jazz concert and various
fraternity and sorority winter formals. There
were snowball fights in front of the Union and
snowmen built in front of dorms. Of course,
there were the 3-foot drifts to trudge through,
not to mention the blizzards that started on Fri-
day afternoons and seemed to last all weekend
ruining many well-laid plans. Dead? Every
week was filled with work, play and some rest
in order to face the busy week-end ahead.

Winter quarter was active — playtime
on Kent's hills — quartet singing contest,
Collegiates won — a special election for
Miss KSU and a penny collection for the
Dukeof Kent, ThetaChi's Joseph Kainrad.

During Winter quarter the bloodmobile once again visited the campus
and the students responded by more than fulfilling the high quota.

The 1955 Chestnut Burr Salutes
To The Outstanding Seniors

Every year, it is the privilege of the Chestnut
Burr to pick several graduating seniors which the
editorial staff feels are outstanding seniors.

They must have fulfilled the necessary re-
quirements — scholarship, activities, service to
the University and all around ability. But it is a

difficult task. Only a limited number can be
picked from so large a group and those pictured
here in the yearbook are the ones the Burr feels
to be the most qualified, though many others are
just as outstanding. These are The Seniors. These
the Burr Salutes.

Student Government

Protested elections, rejuvenated political par-
ties, a new constitution and questionable political
practices were part of Student Government's con-
siderations this year.

Highlighted by the best political campaigns
Kent has seen, complete with cake, cider and cal-
liopes, the fall election produced a disappointing
17 per cent vote.

Joe Barbee, Marv Katz, Ty Caplin and Harris Brown Jr.

The hands of the clock said it was 4 p.m., the
gavel rapped for attention and all was quiet. An-
other Student Council meeting was underway.

Student Council is a government organization,
elected by and democratically representing the
student body. Its purpose is to provide an instru-
ment which makes it possible for all students to
voice their opinions in any program which would
make Kent a better university.

Some of the biggest problems of the year came
during Fall quarter. Following election of class
officers and Frosh Student Council representa-
tives, a protest was lodged by a political party
against four mistakes on the ballot. Council ac-
cepted three of these as valid. The fourth gave the
High Court its first case. Soon after, the discrim-
ination of local merchants against Negroes created
another problem which required Council's atten-
tion.

For the first time in the history of the Blue
and Gold party, they came out on the short end
of a ballot count in the Fall elections. This car-
ried the political change over from the national
scene to the campus.

BG political party made its first appearance on
campus in 1936, as the University's first political
party, only to disband four years later in favor of
an all-Greek party. 1947 gave birth to a powerful
political force which, until last Fall, never lost an
election.

The party platform has always been "better
campus politics through placement of capable in-
dividuals." They coin this statement in their cam-
paign slogan, "BG for better government."

Nu-K Political Party

Xu-K political party officers are, left to right:
Joseph Franko, Pres. ; Elaine Kovalchik, Sec; Jim
McCarthy, Vice Pres.; and Xick Georgianni, Pres.

After being completely rolled over in the 1953
election, Nu-K finally saw the handwriting on the
wall and became the true Nu-Kent party in the
1954 Fall elections.

The acquisition of Alpha Phi, excellent coop-
eration and a clever campaign were all major
factors in the rejuvenation of the party. A tightly
knit organization of eleven fraternities and soror-
ities, Nu-K believes that politics is everyone's job.

Convinced that the independent student is not
sufficiently represented on campus, the Nu-K con-
stitution states that they will attempt to remedy
this situation by choosing candidates outside of
the party.

Firmly entrenching itself in politics on the
Kent campus with their 1954 victory, Nu-K pre-
pared to move forward "for the good of the party."

Men's Student Association

Men's Student Association, composed of all
male students on the KSU campus, is formed
around four basic principles: leadership, charac-
ter, scholarship and service.

Pork Barrel, co-sponsored by MSA and AWS, is
a Winter Quarter event which is one of the top
affairs of the scholastic year. The association also
sponsors the annual Beard Growing Contest, the
Senior Men's Banquet and the President's
Banquet.

Its executive council also initiated a success-
ful series of week-end dances in co-operation with
the Student Union.

MSA officers are: Dan Pat-
ridge, Treas. ; Myron Grossman,
Pres., Ed Menger, Sec. ; and Xick
Giorgianni, Vice Pres.

AWS

Women students at Kent State University have
their own governing body — Association of Women
Students.

When a coed pays her university fees she auto-
matically becomes a member of AWS. However,
this does not mean that when AWS holds a meet-
ing, all women students attend. On the contrary,
representatives from each dorm, each class and a
few organizations, like Pan Hellenic, are chosen by
the coeds themselves to voice their opinions.

Through its executive board, AWS has legisla-
tive power on all matters pertaining to the rules
and regulations for University women. Interdor-
mitory council, the judicial branch of AWS, along
with the house council of each dormitory, enforces
the regulations set up by the executive board.

AWS sponsors parties for off-campus women, a
reception for commuters and the senior women's
banquet.

AWS officers, left to right: Joyce Dively, Cor. Sec;
Lou Mariol, Treas.; Des Harris, Rec. Sec; Shirley
Moore, Vice Pres.; and Mary Bamberger, Pres.

I S A

There are independents, independent independ-
ents and organized independents. The members of
ISA can be classified in the last group.

Independent Student's Association was found-
ed so that the unaffiliated students on campus
could have a social organization.

During the year, ISA asked the permission of
Student Council to operate a check-cashing service
in the Student Union. The idea "caught on" and
has now become one of the most valuable services
being performed on campus.

The organization "shaved" their way to first
place in Penny Carnival with a decorative barber-
shop stand. Other activities included participation
in Campus Day and Rowboat Regatta.

ISA, left to right: row 1: Suzanne Reynolds, Eliza-
beth Suebner, Carol Raymond, Shirley Selzer, Margie

Any student can join if he doesn't wish to go Greek.

Booster Club

"Keep it alive with number 5." "Put the Zips
in a fix with number 6." "Get a bowl date with
number 8." Thus, KSU's Booster Club did what
their name indicates — helped boost campus ath-
letic spirit.

Under new leadership, this group put its pro-
verbial "foot down" and demanded that represent-
ative groups either "show up for meetings" or
"get out of the organization." The response was
overwhelming — more groups were 100 per cent
paid up members than ever before, representatives
attended meetings regularly and spirit on campus
sky-rocketed.

Plans for a mass migration to the Bowl game
and numerous attempts for a card show fell
through, but the students couldn't fail to be aware
that there was such a thing as a Booster club.

Booster club officers are, left to right: Dave
Habeger, Treas. ; Richard Edwards, Pres.; Mimi
Einhouse, Sec; and James Laing, group advisor.

BOOSTER CLUB, left to right: row 1: Marilyn Ham-

A Fifteen Minute Show Doesn't Tell the Whole Story

Spectators see Kent State University's Twin
Marching Bands snap out on the field, work out
the routine of a show, play the Alma Mater and
march off. The appearance lasts up to 15 minutes
which doesn't seem like a very long time but for
that length of time, or even less, it takes quite a
bit of work and time on the part of many
individuals.

The idea of the show must be thought up and
formations worked out and music chosen for the
performance. The music must be played until it
is known well enough to be played while march-
ing. That's no small task. The show must be

walked through, marched through and finally
done with music until it is letter perfect. At the
beginning of the season the band works perhaps
the hardest to get the musicians marching, think-
ing and playing together; for each new season
brings a partially new band and it has a tradition
to uphold, that of a colorful and unique show, syn-
chronizing precision movements with good band
music. And that's quite a tradition.

Individually the band members practice more
to smooth up rough spots in the music and they
are responsible for the care and appearance of
their uniforms and instruments.

A Cleveland sports broadcaster called them the
greatest band he had ever seen. Others have said

that they were "best by a mile." To us, they're
known as the Kent State Twin Marching Bands.

136

The attraction of the front line has something to dc
with composition, not exactly ol the musical kind

Music and Marching
Just to Entertain You

A lot of work goes into putting on the show but
even for the work the show still may not be suc-
cessful. The weather is a very important element.
The intricate steps and routines are hampered by
slippery footing.

Instruments go out of tune in different temper-
atures. They don't all go sharp or flat — which
would be a little help. The musician must play it
in tune. Why do they go through all this? "For
your entertainment!"

Some last minute rallying for the football team
as the band marches down in the snake dance "S".

Precision in synchronization, colorful uniforms in
a pleasing formation make up the Twin Band's show.

Some of the formations have a very practical counter-
part; this is to help with the United Fund Drive.

KSU's Concert Band, the other half of Kent's famed
Twin Bands, took the platform for another concert.

Under the direction of Professor Roy D. Metcalt,
they have become a well-balanced musical group.

With a Few Changes— An Indoor Concert Band

Originator and di-
rector of the KSU
Twin Bands is Roy
D. Metcalf, in his
26th vear at Kent.

Put away most of the marches, the show rou-
tines and boots. Get out the music that has longer
hair and the music stands and chairs. Their prac-
tice room is now in a building, the third floor of
Merrill hall, not outdoors on the football field.
There have been some changes made.

The 70 piece band of student musicians is di-
rected by Roy D. Metcalf. The high spot of the
year is the annual winter concert. Music com-
bined with choreography makes an interesting
evening's entertainment. An education lacking in
recognition and some knowledge of the works of
the great masters would be a scanty education
indeed. An understanding and an appreciation of
the fine arts makes a truly intelligent man or
woman.

The concert band is known for being versatile.
At Campus Day the Twin Marching Bands go into
action as they lead the parade. They unite as the
Concert Band and play an outdoor concert.

Webster's dictionary defines ma-
drigal as an unaccompanied sing-
ing of a poem in a musical setting
of five or six parts.

At KSU the members of this or-
ganization are fifteen selected sing-
ers from the larger Kent choir.
During Winter quarter the madri-
gals appeared before the North
Central Division of the Music Edu-
cators National Conference and the
State Convention of the American
Association of University Women
of Ohio.

The Kent choir is a group of
sixty students. During the year
they appear in many cities in
Northeastern Ohio. Campus ap-
pearances included the annual
home concert in March, the annual
performance of the "Messiah," the
Haydn Passion during Holy Week
and the Vaughan-Williams Festi-
val.

Both the Madrigal singers and
the choir are directed by Robert
Foulkes.

KSU madrigals, attired in their robes, are ready to
perform another concert of unaccompanied singing.

Choir and Madrigal

Over fifty voices strong, the KSU choir is well
known for their fine singing performances. They travel

widely on tours to various cities in Ohio and to other
states, each vear, taking the name of Kent with them.

139

It takes practice, practice and more practice. It
takes perseverance, patience and playing ability.
On a beautiful day that is perfect for a long walk,

you don't go. Is all the sacrifice worth it.-' It you
iove music for the sake of music, that's all the
pleasure you need. A little applause helps, too.

Sweet Strings Blended with Brass and Woodwind

Music is composed of brass and woodwinds, notes in a
certain rhvthm, beats and rests and key signatures.

The flowing melody of strings added to brass,
woodwind and percussion makes the orchestra
come alive with a brilliance and vibrancy of tone
which could only come from stringed instruments.
They enhance the sound of the brass by giving it
a sweet lilting quality; they blend with the wood-
winds; they become defined by the percussion. All
of that is Kent's Civic Orchestra.

The orchestra is by and for the pleasure of the
students and adults. For "music hath charms to
soothe" the book-weary. In addition to the regular
concert, the band presents a May Day concert and
Christmas wouldn't seem complete without the
Messiah, which combines vocal and instrumental
sounds in a beautiful production.

The orchestra is directed by Louis P. Krch, who
also interviews and auditions prospective musi-
cians for positions in the orchestra.

Death of a Salesman

Bill Feaster and Phyllis Elliot provided a fine
spark for a spectacular cast with their lead work
in Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman."

Wallace MacLaren and Cal Johns, as Biff and
Happy Loman, portrayed their parts with deep
understanding and restraint.

The four-night run, April 12-15, established the
fact that the University Theater can be big time.

"Death" is a psychological study of a salesman
and his futile attempts to succeed in life. Believing
that he can only be successful if he is well liked,
Willy bases all his hopes on this idea, but in vain.
Incompetency causes him to lose his job, making
him decide the only worthwhile thing he can do is
to die and leave his insurance money to Biff.

Walt Pierce, Barbara Curtis, John Morrow,
Ann Morrow, John Lioce, Norma Lou Home,
Diane Bacon and Tom Good handled other parts
with finesse.

Director Earl Curtis and technical director,
Howard Becknell, combined their talents to give
excellent fluiditv to the moods of the show.

His life muddled, his family disheartened and his job
gone, Willy Loman returns home unexpectedly onh

to realize that this is truly the beginning of the end.

Willy is almost happy again, as his wife comforts
him and his day dreams give him renewed confidence.

Biff finally sees tht
plain things to Wi

jht, but when he tries to ex-
his father sets very anerv.

into Kent State's theatre.

Crossed swords brought UT's Rivals to a climax.

The Rivals

The eighteenth century came to Kent when
"The Rivals" was presented in early March.

The play takes place in Bath, England, in
1775. In many respects it resembled an earlier
theatre production, "The Importance of Being Ear-
nest."

Barbara Goedicke followed up her successful
role in "The Crucible." Roger Pae was very ef-
fective in his portrayal of the male interest. Larry
Bahler did much to cement his place in KSU dra-
matics and John Morrow's portrayal was the high-
light of his career. Joy Goodman's first role
opened a bright stage future for the promising
miss.

Packed houses greeted one of KSU's most hilarious
shows of the year, Richard Sheridan's, "The Rivals".

With this resolution as their 1954-

baters took to the road to argue
it pro and con.

Kent State forensics association
members also took to the intercol-
legiate road to debate this import-
ant question. Sixteen debaters of
the organization represented KSU
in speech tourneys throughout the
year.

Pi Kappa Delta, national forensic
fraternity, also made its presence
felt at Kent. Organized in 1935, the
same year as the national, the pur-
pose of the group is to "stimulate
progress in intercollegiate speech
and communication."

Kent debaters won their regional
tournament, beating schools from

About twenty years ago, Professor G. Harry
Wright initiated some radio courses into the
speech curriculum at Kent State University. Five
years later a radio "workshop" evolved, and the
University was in the broadcast business; cooper-
ating with local commercial radio stations.

October 1950, radio station WKSU-FM was
born. It is an educational station, licensed by the
Federal Communications Commission and is a
member of the National Association of Education
Broadcasters. Within its walls, future radio per-
sonnel are trained through classroom study and
actual experience.

Illustrative of the variety of radio shows presented
3y WKSU is the radio station interview show with Bob
Vlorgova, Mike Bowden, Stu Giller and CeattaO'Sako.

Phil Harper sets a new record while Ken
Speck tapes the results for posterity.

Kent's Voice"

Under the program directorship
of Tom Colson, in the Fall quarter
of 1955 and Myron Gorssman dur-
ing Winter quarter, "the Commun-
ity Voice of Kent State University"
— and Portage County's only radio
outlet — has continued to follow its
ultimate policy: the transmission
of programs of "entertaining, edu-
cational and cultural value."

Joe Mills gives
his listeners all
the latest news.

Members of the radio staff discuss upcoming radio programs as the pho-
tographer catches one rare time when there is any relaxing at WKSU.

The welcome mat is always out at Studio A for all students or visitors who
wish to attend any broadcast of the university-operated radio station.

Sprin

An anniversary issue honoring President
Bowman was one of the highlights of a high-
ly fruitful quarter for Stater Editor Bill
Freeman and Managing Editor Sue Leick.
For his attacks on the weaknesses in stu-
dent government, Freeman was recognized
for conducting the best campaign for
campus betterment during the 1953-54.

Summer

Something new in the way of a campus
publication was undertaken during the sum-
mer when Tom Duke, serving his internship,
turned out the Summer Bulletin in place of
the Stater. Working as both editor and
business manager, Duke performed all oper-
ationsof thenewspaper almost single-handed.

Fall

Refusal of a Kent restaurant owner to
serve several Negro alumni on Homecoming
Day stirred an anti-discrimination move-
ment on the KSU campus Fall quarter. Car-
rying the ball for the student publication
were Larry Carpenter, editor and Bill Mil-
ler, managing editor assisted by Dick
Fedosh, business manager. Together they
set a record for the most Staters in one
quarter. Politics again slipped into the
spot-light.

Winter

Winter quarter, with the ultimate result
that Stater Editor Bill Caddey and Man-
aging Editor Sue Leick campaigned for the
abolishment of campus politics altogether.
They attributed their policy to petty bick-
ering between the two major political par-
ties and to lack of interest on the part of
the student body of the University. They
were aided by Ray Mervar, business man-
ager.

June Thomas and Joe Franko operate theScan-a-

The Daily Kent Stater — Student Newspaper

Getting out a college newspaper every day,
Tuesday through Friday, can be a terrible grind,
filled with "hurry" and "pressure" from start to
finish — made doubly difficult because staff mem-
bers must combine production with their regular
schoolwork.

Eut students working on the Kent Stater met
these difficulties with their usual vigor, and got
out a paper of which the entire University was
proud. The Staters news columns kept students
and faculty constantly informed as to what was

going on around the campus community; its edi-
torial columns kept them alert to various evils
that developed; and its feature columns kept them
smiling.

Staff members ran up against a lot of head-
aches, to be sure. But they were rewarded with
many hours of fun. Although it is not limited to
journalism students, the Stater gives journalism
majors practical laboratory experience to better
prepare them for the day when they'll be working
on big-time newspapers.

Seated around the "horseshoe" is the human machin-
ery that makes up the staff of KSU's daily newspaper:

copy writers, news editors, sports reporters, photog-
raphers, leg men, advertising men and the bosses.

Don Shook, editor-in-chief

1955 Chestnut Burr

Another year, another Burr. That's easier said
than done. There is much more to it than just
that. First, there is constant and unceasing work
— over 7000 manhours of work by the staff mem-
bers. All-night sessions before deadlines, gallons
of coffee and cokes to keep awake. Foregoing
other pleasures to make the editor's dream become
a reality.

The editor with the dream was Don Shook.
He held confusion to a minimum by keeping the
staff well supplied with work and the publisher
supplied with completed copy — or at least
promises.

With an eye to the clock, the staff worked fe-
verishly to meet the deadlines and get out the
best yearbook ever.

Chestnut Burr Business Staff

Handling finances, selling advertising and
keeping the books in order are only a part of the
job of the Chestnut Burr Business staff. Headed
by the business manager, Michael P. Beluscak, a
staff of eight traveled to industries and businesses
in Kent and nearby cities and towns to secure
advertisers for the yearbook. Although financed
chiefly through University funds, the Burr needs
to sell space to produce a good book.

This staff is also supposed to handle the selling

of space to campus groups. It is their job to con-
tact the groups, find out how much space they
want and then the editorial staff takes over —
scheduling and taking pictures of the organiza-
tions and writing copy for their pages. Later the
business staff again steps in to bill the organiza-
tions.

Money is essential in producing a top-notch
yearbook, thus the more efficient the business
staff is, the easier it is for the editorial staff.

Advisor to Publications

A busy man, and justly so, is Dario Politella,
advisor to all student publications. Interrupted in
his career at Kent by a stint in the Korean war,
Mr. Politella has been back on the job for three
years.

To him come all the problems and headaches
in printing the Daily Kent Stater and in produc-
ing the yearbook. Sometimes policy is questioned,
and in the case of complaints, he is the man who
must answer them along with the editors, either
explaining why the editors were wrong, or back-
ing them all the way.

The work submerges into a pile of page proofs
or copy to be checked for spelling errors, incor-
rect facts and style violations.

It is perhaps a thankless job for the advisor,
but without him, publications would have a hard
time.

Prof. Dario Politella

Reserve Officers Training Corps came to KSU
in 1947 through a request of the Board of Trustees
and the approval of the United States Army. The
success of the program helped decide the Univer-
sity to request an Air-Force unit at Kent in 1951.

The purpose of the ROTC is to select and train
qualified students to serve as officers in our armed
forces.

Neither of the programs guarantees a commis-
sion, but they prepare their members for one if
they meet the requirements upon graduation.

Military Activities

153

Outdoor Drill

Drill is a part of the training program for
ROTC students. It is aimed at helping the
individual student develop his qualities of
leadership, the qualities which he will
need as an officer in the armed forces or
as a civilian in private enterprise.

Drill periods, or so-called "Corps Hours,"
come twice a week at noontime during
Fall and Spring quarters. The Corps also
participates in such ceremonies as the
Armed Forces Day Parade, Memorial Day
Parade, Federal Inspection and others.

The eye of the inspecting officer doesn't
miss a thing. He catches every spot of dust
on the gun, every wrinkle in the uniform.

Uniform lines of uniformed men stand at at-
tention on the Commons during ceremonies
honoring armed forces veterans of all wars.

Glen Nygreen, dean of men, along with mili-
tary commanders, address ROTC students at
one of the many ceremonies thev attend.

Variety of Courses
Offered In ROTC

The Reserve Officers Training
Corps was started at Kent State uni-
versity in 1947. To select and train
qualified men to serve as officers in
either the Army or Air Force is the
main purpose of the ROTC program
here at Kent.

American military history, indiv-
idual weapons, drill, command and
organization of the Army are part of
the various subjects studied in Army
ROTC. Global geography, the history
of aviation and the elements of aerial
warfare are included in the Air Force
program.

Those qualified cadets entering the
Advanced Course of Air Force ROTC
study military laws, principles of
flight, aircraft engines and other
topics related to Air Force operations.
Advanced Course Army ROTC cadets
study the mission and functions of
the arms and services, communica-
tions, army operations, and similar
subjects.

Four honorary military fraternities
are among the many extracurricular
activities that a cadet may participate
in. These help to maintain brother-
hood in the corp and to present a
challenge to the men.

"Salute" is the order given by the
commanding officer as the staff re-
ports at the annual Vets Day ceremony.

Learning how to fire a rifle is only
one of many subjects that is taken up in
the Advanced Army ROTC classrooms.

Studying the airplane model is just
part of the training during the lour
years by these future Air Force men.

ROTC Sponsors: Josephine Martino,
Colonel; Shirley Gwaltney, Lieutenant
Colonel; Patricia Moran, Major; Rose-
marie Perkowski, Major; Janice Alls-
house, Major; Elizabeth Wylie, Major;
and Ann Kratzer, Lieutenant Colonel.

Pershing Rifles

Mock battles, drill meets, and social events
are part of the makeup of any military organiza-
tion. And the Kent State company of the Pershing
Rifles do their share to maintain a standard of
excellence in these categories.

First organized at KSU on October 29, 1949,
the enrollment has increased to a total of 60 mem-
bers. In 1951, members of the Air Force ROTC
were admitted to membership.

The fundamental purpose of the group is to
give basic ROTC students a background for pro-
ficiency in drill and leadership. By utilizing tact-
ical information and tactical field problems, the

organization is able to give its members an idea of
modern warfare.

Membership in the Pershing Rifles is not all
work and no play. The group elects an honorary
sponsor every year. They also take an active part
in the annual ROTC Military Ball and participate
in flag raising ceremonies at University functions.

A blue and white cord worn over the left
shoulder signifies a member of the Pershing
Rifles. With a basic thought of the future in their
minds, this honor group is teaching good students
how to become excellent soldiers.

Company K-I

Company K, First Regiment of
the National Honorary Society
of Pershing Rifles, has been one
of the most active honoraries on
campus during the past school
year. Beginning the year's ac-
tivities with an open smoker on
October 6, the society was off to
a successful eight months of
drill, hard work and fellowship
which gives Kent one of the out-
standing drill units in the nation.

Miss Sheila Sampsell was
elected to reign as the company
sponsor for the year and she ful-
filled her position majestically.
Highlights throughout the year
kept the PR members busy.
Pledging during the Fall quar-
ter, informal and formal initia-
tions, the annual formal dance,
the traditional military field ex-
ercise, the highly competitive
drill meet, the company drill
meet with John Carroll univer-
sity and Youngstown college
were some of the outstanding
activities.

Also, the company marched in
the Campus Day parade and in
the Memorial Day parade in
Canton. The unit drilled at half-
time intermissions at basketball
games and formed a flag-raising
guard at home football games.

Contributors of color to many of the University's functions, Per-
shing Rifles can be seen performing in parades, at sport events
and in drill meets throughout the year. Above, they put snap into
the Campus Day parade and, below, drill at a basketball game.

Sheila Sampsell was Pershing Rifle sponsor for the
year. She ruled at all of the outfit's dances,
parades and events held throughout her reign.

versity. This year Co. M-8 of Kent State is join-
ing with the other units across the nation in cele-
brating the organization's 50th anniversary.

Membership in the honorary is open to junior
and senior members of ROTC with excellent
grades.

Among the various campus activities the KSU
unit members take an active part in are Homecom-
ing celebrations and the annual Military ball,
where they form their traditional Sabre Arch for
the queen and her attendants.

Every year the group holds a dance at the
Ravenna Arsenal during Winter or Spring

ultimate aim of the Society is to give recognition
to students for outstanding work in military
science.

Pledges to Arnold Air Society are chosen from
men on campus who excel in ROTC work and
achieve high scholastic standards.

As future commissioned or reserve officers in
the United States Air Force, Arnold Air members
are trained to cope with all of the problems of air
strategy and leadership.

Outstanding speakers in professional fields are
the feature attraction at meetings. Lectures are
keyed to help undergraduates better understand
the future and the problems of a future officer of
the United States Air Force.

Basic Cadet Honor Squadron

In order to encourage interest in the mission
and traditions of the United States Air Force, a
new organization was formed last year at Kent
State.

The group, called the Basic Cadet Honor Squad-
ron, was the first of its kind in college AFROTC
units. To be eligible for membership, a basic cadet

must have at least one year of cadet courses. He
must also have an accumulative point average of
2.5 in both academic and military courses.

The squadron makes trips to various Air Force
bases and holds a tactical field drill in the Spring
quarter. On the social side, the basic cadets are
one of the sponsors of the Military Ball.

Modern Twin Terraces Built for Gracious Living

"Home was never like this." Girls from North and
South Terrace enjoy the luxuriousness of the lounge.

Terrace Hall is Kent State's newest residence
for women and a beauty spot of the campus.

A three-story fireproof brick building, Terrace
is actually two dorms in one. The twin dorms have
one central lounge with all modern furnishings.

Contemporary in design, the dorm was built
with a theme of gracious living, initiating a new
trend in dormitory living. A food warehouse and
bakeshop for the entire campus are also included
in the structure. Blond modern furniture, soft
lighting and thick carpets are featured in the plush
furnishings.

161

Taking advantage of their recreation room on the second floor of
their wing, North Terrace girls held an after hours party with eats.

Half an X forms the L-shape of
North Terrace hall, one of the twin
dorms that makes up Terrace hall,
newest women's dormitory on KSU's
campus.

The two wings of North Terrace
face Main street and house approxi-
mately 250 girls plus a resident house-
mother and student counselor. North
Terrace is a complete dorm in itself
having a recreation lounge, its own
entrance, a separate unit of mailboxes
and a desk for the girls to sign in and
out. Both wings of North Terrace
have three floors, equipped with tele-
phone booths, laundry rooms and a
lounge on the second floor where the
two wings intersect.

Rooms are furnished with two
desks, twin beds, two dressers and
sliding-door closets, all in blond wood.

The second "L," South Terrace Hall,
completes the huge X of Terrace.
This look-a-like dorm also houses 250
girls and a resident housemother.
South Terrace wings face Terrace
drive and the tennis courts.

A distinguishing mark of the twin
dorms are the dining halls and bakery
located in South Terrace's wings.
Both dorms also share the use of the
beautiful lounge.

Contrary to what people would like
to believe, the two dorms are not
rivals. They plan to work collectively
on campus affairs such as Campus
Day, Homecoming and Penny Carn-
ival. South Terrace is equipped with
the same facilities; the only differ-
ence is that their corridors are green
and North Terrace's, pink.

Engleman Hall

Though the "W" is before the "X" by one
space in the alphabet, at Kent they are years
apart. The X-shaped dorm, Terrace was con-
structed 16 years after Engleman's completion.
The vine-covered, window-dotted brick structure,
known as Engleman, was, for the first time a
freshmen dorm. Within those walls the co-eds
live, laugh and work. When they have problems
they can look to their student counselors and the
resident counselors, Miss Tschantz and Mrs. Love
for understanding and advice.

Interests in the dorm are as varied as the many
girls. Whatever complaint may be made of dorm-
itory life, it certainly can't be called dull. The dis-
plays and floats provide the girls with a chance to
use their ingenuity in working together.

From the hub-bub and confusion that at times
reigns will emerge the women who will be both
intellectually and socially advanced.

164

With the motto "Keep Lowry Moving," the
dorm's resident counselor works with its elected
officers and representatives to make Lowry "the
dorm" on campus.

Naturally, such a motto could not be lived up
to without the help of all the Lowryites. Their
first opportunity to establish themselves and their
motto came at Homecoming time. By working
together, they won first place with their cyclone
decoration entitled "Flashes Down Falcons!"

Part of "keeping Lowry moving" involved also
the study of books and the making of good point
averages. Of course good times were not entirely
laid aside for book study. Hours flew by in learn-
ing the latest dance steps, listening to records,
playing the piano and viewing television.

Winter quarter the girls entered Pork Barrel,
gave a Lowry formal and had other social activi-
ties to really keep Lowry moving.

Moulton Hall

Moulton — the dorm with a personality. Oh,
what a story she could tell of those first few heart-
breaking weeks away from home, the problems of
adjusting to college life; then the gaiety and laugh-
ter as the freshman girl finds a group of friends
who are to her liking and share the same interests.

Furniture is moved around, feminine touches
added to make the room more like home; bulletin
boards are tacked up so that souvenirs of the
dances and future social events can be pinned up
as gay reminders.

Situated on the bottom of Hilltop drive, Moul-
ton Hall is the second oldest dorm. Housing about
250 women, Moulton is self-governing. Officers
and the house council which sets up the regula-
tions are elected by the coeds.

And when the freshman year comes to a close,
the coed has forgotten the unhappiness of the first
few weeks and faces new adventures with a fresh
outlook.

Vacation time has finally arrived
which means there's packing to do.

Stopher Hall

George Washington didn't sleep here, but 275
men do every night.

Stopher Hall is composed of men of diversi-
fied interests, yet functions on a par with the
fraternities, sororities and other campus organiza-
tions of KSU.

Stopher is active in Songfest, Homecoming,
Campus Day and Pork Barrel. Residents are
proud of their 1954-55 accomplishments which in-
cluded first place awards for Pork Barrel and
Campus Day.

The men of the dorm hold many social affairs,
including interdorm dances and Winter and
Spring formals.

No other organization on campus enjoys a
more worthwhile event than Stopher does when
giving their annual Christmas party for under-
privileged children.

For those men who are athletically minded,
there is a well-rounded intramural program.

UACL-

Like-minded people, like birds of a feather,
flock together. The result is organization — all
sorts and kinds. A campus without organizations
would be a desolate place indeed.

Organizations are formed for social purposes,
business purposes, economic purposes or just
formed. When there are too many, some silently
fold up. When there are too few, there are enthu-
siastic promoters.

Every person is many sided, therefore organiza-
tions must be many sided and Kent State provides
enough clubs, committees and organized groups to
satisfy its many-sided students. They may be
formed for debating, theater, foreign languages or
student government.

And if there is no club that suits the fancy,
wait for the other two fellows and organize. For
someone once said that, in America, whenever
three persons meet, they elect officers and adopt
a constitution. Maybe so.

The success of an\' organization is due to the active
participation that is taken by all ot its members.

To fulfill a purpose, an
organization is born.

Pigskins were not the only soaring spheres dur-
ing Fall quarter. The Alpha Chi Omega's let
loose huge numbers of helium-filled balloons im-
printed with its sorority name at all the home
football games.

As the balloons floated skyward at the Home-
coming game, the A Chi O's hopes also rose for a
first place in house decorations to follow up their
Campus Day victory.

The clang of the trolley had rung out victory
during Spring quarter and the award was proud-
ly displayed in the trophy case. The space next to
it was quickly filled when the judges gave the dis-
play nod to A Chi O.

The "lyre and pearls" is seen on many campus
"bigwigs" including the secretary of the junior
class, an attendant to the Burr queen and the sec-
retary of Cardinal Key.

Faye Allen, Natalie DeBlasio, Ann
Lopane and Bobbie Holliday do their
homework in Advanced Cardplaying 491.

Sorority Song:

Down deep in the heart of each AXO girl

Is a dream of love that is true.

He is loving and kind,

And he will always be faithful

And somewhere he is waiting for you.

You will dream, and you will plan,

And someday he will come,

And he will make all your joys live anew.

He will share a trouble

And make every joy double,

The AXO sweetheart is true.

Alpha Gamma Delta

Polished silver and a lace tablecloth mean teatime
for sorority sisters: Janet Harsh, Rae Crawford,
Kay Clabaugh, (doing the honors) and Jane Gotschall.

A 50th birthday didn't make the Alpha Gam's
feel any older, but it added a few gray hairs to the
national organization founded in 1904. Their anni-
versary celebration was further brightened by
their third place Homecoming trophy. Shadowing
their chapter house with a mammoth telephone,
the Alpha Gam's "dialed slaughter" as the Golden
Flashes beat Bowling Green.

Decorations didn't stop with Homecoming. Last
summer a redecoration program changed the in-
terior of the second floor of their chapter house.
A coat of white paint added to the outside finished
the project.

On campus, Alpha Gamma Delta is represented
in Cardinal Key, Sharks Club and the Kent Stater.
A well-known member is Kent State's president's
wife, one of many outstanding sisters.

W&&S.**'.-.

Leave it to the Alpha Phis to dig
a skeleton out of their closet to
give Bowling Green a real scare.

Kent State's politics needed a shot in the arm.
Wielding the needle, the Alpha Phis jabbed deep
and came out with a new political party backing.
Political interest on campus aroused other organi-
zations to follow the trend set by the Phis.

Excitement at the house on Main street did not
end with politics. One evening nocturnal callers
mistook the fire escape for the front door and at-
tempted an unscheduled visit. Finding the screams
of the co-eds unwelcome, the visitors retreated
unidentified.

On campus the "slap-bang" girls are active in
Cardinal Key, Student Council, AWS and Booster
;lub. Queenships come easily to the attractive sis-
ters. Last year's Rowboat Regatta queen, the
Chestnut Burr queen, DU's K-Girl and KSU's
Most Popular Woman were Phis. Attendants to
the May Queen, Military Ball Queen and Miss
Kent State rounded out their beauty honors.

It takes one of Kent State's Alpha Xi's to re-
main sweet and self-controlled when someone re-
fers to her sorority pin as a toothbrush. Their
feather-shaped pin has been subject to much name
calling ever since it's been worn, but the tooth-
brush tag best represents the smiling queens of
Alpha Xi Delta.

1954's Homecoming Queen gleamed her way to
top place wearing an Alpha Xi pin. Sporting the
same emblem were three girls on the May Day
Court, an attendant to the May Queen and three
varsity cheerleaders. Their near-professional
"Darkies Doodah" won Pork Barrel for them last
year.

The loss of a sister in a tragic automobile ac-
cident last year resulted in the Kay Berger award,
which is given to the outstanding pledge of the
year.

The Alpha Xi's "knocked out" B-G
with a large quantity of home-brewed
moonshine as they presented their
"wet" Homecoming Dav decoration.

After dinner-treat for Chi O's is the Sunday papers.

First place in Rowboat Regatta rowing contest,
second place in May-Day relays, Booster's cheer-
leading trophy, and five straight years of winning
the WRA athletic trophy! The Chi Omega's may
not all be majoring in HPE, but they've copped
enough sports awards to verify their athletic
prowess.

Talents jumped to other fields when the Chi O's
"la-de-dad" their way to four consecutive first
places in songfest. The sisters came out en masse
to dance and sing in Kent's "No Time For Classes"
musical production.

There are members in Cardinal Key, represent-
atives to Student Council and several who swim
for Sharks Club. The president of AWS, the sec-
retary of SC, last year's Miss Kent State and Mili-
tary Ball queen are distinguished by their red and
white Chi O jackets.

Sorority Song:

I sang to a XO in the stillness of the night,
Where splashes of moonlight had scattered

their light.
I sang to the stars and the moon up above,
And asked them to carry my song to my love.
The stars and the moonlight grew brighter

until
I paused in my love song to marvel and thrill,
For all through my song I'd been dreaming

the while,
For the stars and the moon were a XO's smile.

Delta Gamma

Homecoming decorations found everything "in
the bag" for the Delta Gamma's except a trophy
for their 20-foot blue kangaroo. Undaunted, the
activity-conscious DG's ranked high in other com-
petition. The scholarship trophies decorating the
mantel are proof that brains and looks can go to-
gether. They supported a candidate for Miss Kent
State, held queen attendantships to the May Day
and Chestnut Burr queens and nationally, Miss
America of 1953 and Miss Ohio of 1954 were sor-
ority sisters. DG's quartet harmonized its way to
first place in the sorority division.

Student Council's president wore an anchor, as
did the sophomore secretary, three AWS mem-
bers, two Varsity cheerleaders, an AROTC spon-
sor, several Cardinal Key girls, 1954's outstanding
junior woman and senior winner of the Woman-
hood award. Full of ideas from their 1954 conven-
tion, Delta Gamma returned home to begin their
eighth year as a national organization.

Delta Zeta now has its own Audubon Society
on campus. At Homecoming they proudly dis-
played a falcon in a frying pan and during the year
a dead sparrow was routed from their chimney.

Posing as decoys for their Penny Carnival
booth by acting as the set-ups in a paste-throwing
contest, the DZ's torture was not in vain. The
girls were awarded second place. Then showing
that their wings couldn't be clipped, the sisters of
the lamp flew to an easy May Day relay victory.

A familiar adage, "birds of a feather flock to-
gether" was apparent as the sorority claimed
1954's Freedom Girl, Varsity K-Queen and Snow-
ball Queen.

Adrienne Kost is the center of
attraction as the DZ's put

their musical talents to use.

and threatened to collapse. To the rescue, Gamma

ported the sagging line until judges finished in-
spection.

The girls of the crescent moon did not salvage
a trophy from their near-fatal decorations, but did
place third in the Campus Day parade with their
skunk in a colorful flower garden portraying "A

Pan Hellenic

Sororities returned to campus this fall to find
radical changes made in rushing procedures.
Freshman rushing had been deferred until Winter
quarter, putting sororities on the same basis as
the fraternities.

This change was made by the governing body
for sororities at Kent State, Pan Hellenic Council.
With three delegates from each sorority Pan Hel-
lenic acts as the go-between for sororities and un-
affiliated women. In living up to the creed of the
National Council, the organization strives to make
sorority life an opportunity for each affiliated
woman to prepare wisely for her future as a
citizen in a democracy.

Pan Hellenic, advised by the Assistant Dean of
Women, publishes "It's All Greek To Me," a book-
let for new rushees.

Interfraternity Council

During the past year, Interfraternity Council
became more fully established as one of the most
important governing bodies on the campus.

The three R's — (rules, rushing and regulations)
became the byword of the group. New rules on
rushing were put into use to regulate the pledging
of freshmen and transfer students during the Win-
ter quarter.

The group has for 14 years striven to promote
and encourage personal development of its mem-
bers in the intellectual, physical and social fields.

Basically, the group is made up of the president
and one member from each fraternity. The small
body finds it much more advantageous to work
with this centralized authority.

A strong spirit of competition and fair play is
promoted by the council as it strongly backs intra-
mural athletics by awarding trophies to the win-
ners in nine major sports.

Alpha Epsilon Pi

SUSOtE'S

OVER

Alpha Epsilon Pi turned fantasy into realism
at Campus Day when they used over two thousand
flowers to portray their theme, "Orchids In The
Moonlight."

Penny Carnival rolled around with the men of
Phi Deuteron copping second place by using slot
machines and teddy bears to attract the midway's
spectators.

New places for trophies were dusted off on the
mantel for prominent brothers who were chosen
Junior Man of the Year, all-university billiards
champion and all-university table tennis
champion.

The gold and blue ha3 its share of BMOC's on
campus. Three brothers were members of Blue
Key and were frosh advisors. The men of the Lion
claim members on the tennis and track teams.

Other brothers included the vice-president and
treasurer of Hillel, a member of Fraternity-Sor-
ority Policy Committee and Student Council
members.

The bubbles of B.G.'s
pipe dream burst

as
the AEPi's helped de-
flate the Falcon's hopes.

The first anniversary candle had barely gone
out for Zeta Zeta chapter of Alpha Tau Omega
when they began filling their mantelpiece with
an array of new trophies.

A total of ten cups were added to the Tau man-
tel during the Spring quarter. Among the awards
they received were first place in Penny Carnival,
first place in the Quartet Singing contest, first
place in the May Day relays and two third place
trophies for Campus Day songfest and Float com-
petition. The ATO library was judged best among
the fraternities and received the Dean Manchester
cup.

ATO's are represented in such offices as chair-
man of the University Social Committee and presi-
dent of Blue Key. Men's Student Association
claims a Tau as its presiding officer.

In Varsity sports, the ATO's have members on
the wrestling, tennis, swimming and baseball
teams.

ATO Officers: Joseph Dogoli, Usher; Robert Caster,
Historian; Eugene Buffo, Treas.; Richard Cutshall,

Charcoal Jackets and Real 'Collegiate . . .

The men of Delta Tau Delta have managed to
win two first place awards this year for their
ability to design floats and decorations. The buck-
ing model "T" on their "collegiate" Campus Day
float and the shooting gallery set-up for Homecom-
ing garnered the Delts first place awards.

Singing has also brought this fraternity awards.
For the fourth time in a row the Delts won Campus
Day songfest. In the All-Ohio Delta Tau Delta
songfest, they added another trophy to their list
by taking first place.

Charcoal jackets became the vogue for college
men during the past year and the Delts were none
to argue the point. They seemed to have rounded
up all the gray sports coats in town, as charcoal
and Delts became synonymous.

Social activities for the year included a Winter
formal and a Spring formal dinner-dance.

Delta Upsilon

Setting traditions seems to be a habit with
Delta Upsilon. One was started this year when the
fraternity decided to co-sponsor the all-university
Halloween Howl! The boys of the blue and gold
also open Campus Day celebrations each year with
the presentation of their K-girl in ceremonies be-
hind the library.

The local chapter has for many years received
recognition as one of DU's strongest groups. Three
seems to be their lucky number. They captured
the national public relations plaque for the third
year straight and received the third best chapter
rating in the nation.

DU's active on campus take part on Varsity
football and basketball teams, student council,

Not letting schoolwork take up all their time,
the Kappa Sigs found leisure moments to include
numerous and varied events in their social cal-
endar.

Each year the Rascal's Romp is sponsored by
the pledge class. The men of Epsilon Rho are also
the co-sponsors of the annual Kappa Sigma Nu
dance.

The boys of the green, scarlet and white also
found time to crowd annual Spring and Winter
formals into their social calendars. A "sweetheart"
reigns at the Winter formal.

Despite all the social activities the fraternity
upholds a high scholastic average. The national
awarded the KSU chapter two consecutive schol-
arships for keeping their grades above the all
men's average.

The painting of the outside of the house and a
complete redecoration of the inside were among
the projects of the year. Plans were also under-
way to join the proposed fraternity row.

Realizing a three year ambition, Phi Delta
Theta literally "got its long trousers" as it became
Kent State university's most recent national fra-
ternity. It replaced Phi Gamma Theta, a local
since 1947.

The Phi Gams were accepted into brotherhood
at the Phi Delta Theta general convention in Sep-
tember, 1954 becoming one of over 120 undergrad-
uate chapters throughout the United States and
Canada.

The former "Phi-Gams" kept their members
busy throughout the year with a well-rounded
social program. A new innovation was the tra-
ditional "She Delta Theta" week which is cele-
brated by all chapters of Phi Delta Theta.

The Phi Delts panted for breath as they pulled
hard for the tug-of-war trophy at the Rowboat
Regatta. Oddly enough, they sponsor this event
yearly.

Founded at Miami university (Ohio) , December

26, 1848

Most recently formed national fraternity on

Local fraternity: Phi Gamma Theta

Fraternity Song:

Tell me why she wears his pin,

Tell me why she's strong for him.

Tell me why she is so true,

She told me why, now I'll tell you.

Because he is a Phi Delt bold,

Because he is a Knight of old,

Because he wears the Sword and Shield,

That is the reason she had to yield.

Phi Kappa Tau

"Down with campus domination by a few," was
the battle cry of the founders of Phi Kappa Tau na-
tional fraternity. In 1906 at Miami university in
Oxford, Ohio, a group of students got together to
form a fraternity built on a democratic basis.

The local chapter has been active in national
relations since its founding. It was host to eleven
brother groups at the spring dominion meeting.
They also co-sponsored the regional dinner-dance.

Phi Tau's mark the treasurers of Interfraternity
Council, the senior class and the Arnold Air So-
ciety in their ranks. Another is the president of
the Lutheran Student Fellowship.

Each year the social calendar is marked in
March as a remembrance of the Founders Day
dance. Numerous other social events are also held.

A variety of parties, dances and formals were
mixed into the more serious business of fraternity
development as Phi Sigma Kappa took another
step forward toward its goal of superior scholar-
ship and social living.

The traditional Founder's Day banquet and
the annual Snowball Dance again proved to be
leading social functions of the year. Also included
were the All-University dance and the Spring
formal.

The chapter is well known for members active
in campus organizations, including acting vice
president of Student Council, Traditions Com-
mittee chairman and president of Blue and Gold.

This, together with the growing fraternity
ranks, the Cerebral Palsy fund project and im-
provements on the chapter house, provided a busy
year for the members of Phi Sigma Kappa, and
held out the promise of bigger and better years to
come.

Phi Sigma Kappa's float entry went fislrin', trying
lor a trophy winner in the 1954 Campus Day parade.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon

Adding to what could be called "old" fraternity
row, Sigma Alpha Epsilon moved their belongings
to their new house on Main street during Winter
quarter. If you should walk into the new house
any SAE will proudly escort you to the trophy
collection. This includes the first award netted by
the local chapter for the second place Campus Day
float, "Showboat."

Athletes are numerous among the fraternity
ranks. Four members in the football line-up in-
clude an All Mid-American fullback. Also listed
in the SAE membership is the captain of the 1955
wrestling team, undefeated in inter-collegiate
circles. Two Sig Alphs were members of the Flash
basketball squad.

SAE's are active in a host of campus activities:
Blue Key, Men's Student Association, the Kent
Stater and ROTC. Socially, the fraternity spon-
sors the Sweetheart formal and the Anniversary
ball.

Sleepy Doorman and Athletes All

As one enters the front door of the Administra-
tion building during Sigma Nu Help Week he is
apt to be the guest of one of their pledges opening
the doors. This custom has become as much a
part of KSU as not stepping on the University
seal at Prentice gate.

Through the years, the men of the Snake have
had outstanding representatives on all varsity ath-
letic teams. This year they claimed two team
captains.

Although athletics play an important part in
this fraternity, scholarship is not forgotten. Last
year Sigma Nu rated third scholastically on the
campus.

Socially, this fraternity holds a White Rose
formal, an Anniversary dance, the Scummer's hop
and the Kappa Sigma Nu dance.

Much attention was drawn to the Sig Eps when
they proudly sported their new scarlet jackets.
Also their musical talent was recognized when
they won the quartet singing championship.

The social calendar has the annual Queen of

Vocal Chords and Enormous Floats . . .

The Theta Chi chapter at KSU is known for
its ability to sing at the drop of a hat and to have
more exchange dinners than any other fraternity
on campus.

The song group was the first to serenade a
sorority house during the Fall quarter and first
to serenade Terrace hall. This group has the dis-
tinction of having sung to every sorority house
and dormitory on campus.

During the year, the singers vocalized their
way to third place honors in Pork Barrel. Their
Homecoming display towered fourteen feet and
spread thirty feet along the base. The Campus
Day float was so big that it had to be towed by
a semi-trailer cab.

The local men beat their brothers from Akron
U. in the traditional Jug touch-football game.

'Lanolin Plus' and Pilgrims'

Prom

To promote spiritual life within its membership
is the primary aim of the national organization of
Theta Kappa Phi. The local chapter has fulfilled
this pledge to the utmost in carrying on constant
work as the backbone of the Newman club.

The Theta Kaps have almost built up a mo-
nopoly on winning the annual beard growing
contest. They do not attribute their success to the
use of lanolin, as many think, but to the persever-
ance of their entrants.

Campus social functions of the fraternity are
occasions which the members can justly be proud
of sponsoring. Their Gold Cup formal, the Pil-
grims' Prom and the Sweater hop have become
traditions at KSU. Graduating seniors of the fra-
ternity are honored at a banquet where the top
senior is awarded a scholarship trophy.

"Why is the book that's
always needed on the top
shelf," ask Theta Kaps?

Hopes of joining a national and becoming part
of the proposed fraternity row are the two biggest
aims of Kappa Psi Alpha, inter-racial fraternity.

Beginning as the Scrollers club, the group
achieved local fraternity status in December, 1953.

The organization sponsored the campus appear-
ance of the Karamu Dancers and is also active
in Penny Carnival and intramural sports.

On Campus Day they attracted attention by
wearing the new style for college men — Bermuda
shorts and argyle socks.

Dr. O. Ritchie of the sociology department has
become the new chapter advisor of the enthusiastic
group.

A new house, a new advisor and a bright future
are all part of growing up for Kent's youngest local
fraternity.

Business administration and Delta Sigma Pi
have become synonymous on the campus. Since
1942, when the local Delta Sigs became part of the
national organization, the group has been one of
the dominant forces in the progress of the business
field at Kent.

The brothers keep in contact with the "out-
side" business world by taking frequent trips to
commercial and industrial institutions.

Once a month the chapter is host to speakers
from the important industrial plants, commercial
organizations and business enterprises.

Delta Sigma Pi always is near the top in
scholarship. One of the reasons for this is the
2.25 cumulative point average required for mem-
bership.

Scholarship and business interests are not the
only things which occupy the Delta Sig's time.
They continuously invent winning Campus Day
floats and Homecoming decorations. Their social
calendar is always full.

Kent State's Architectural Society has made
great strides in reaching for the star in their hori-
zon. Kent State now has a Student Chapter of the
American Institute of Architects. The charter
was presented to the Kent State Architectural So-
ciety in behalf of the University last February.

The emphasis of the chapter is directed toward
professional rather than social goals. The chapter
also fosters fellowship, cooperation and a spirit of
unity between the student and practicing archi-
tects.

The chapter held a dinner at the Student
Union for the AIA architects of Northeastern
Ohio. Visiting registered architects also give lec-
tures to the chapter and judges contests held by
the members.

Upon graduation, a member assumes the re-
sponsibilities of an associate membership in any
senior chapter of the Institute. Members of the
senior chapters also help by finding employment
for graduating seniors.

Future businessmen and potential tycoons of
America attending Kent State are invariably
found to be members of the Society for the Ad-
vancement of Management.

Industry, commerce, government and manage-
ment are all parts of the SAM itinerary. Founded
for the purpose of helping business administration
students select a successful career, better under-
stand their chosen career and broaden classroom
experiences in scientific management, Society for
the Advancement for Management, is open to all
sophomore students in the College of Business
who have a 2.5 cumulative average.

An important part of the Society's activities
takes place at the annual banquet which features a
famous speaker from the field of management. At
this affair the outstanding student in business
management is named.

Members are also guests at banquets and
speeches concerning business and management
sponsored by the Akron chapter of the organiza-
tion.

Kappa Alpha Mu

When it's pledging time at KSU most of the
pledges wear pins, but there is a certain group on
campus that wears burned-out flashbulbs on long
red ribbons.

This distinuguishes them as the prospects for
Kappa Alpha Mu — photography honorary. Mem-
bers of Chi chapter of KAM provide pictures for
University publications and promote photog-
raphy at the same time.

Theta Sigma Phi

Opportunities for women in the journalism
field have become greater since the old days of the
early 1900's.

Theta Sigma Phi, women's journalism honor-
ary, originated in 1909, has played a big part in
giving the female sex more rights and privileges in
journalism. The KSU Chapter, founded three
years ago, has attained a high standing among or-
ganizations in that short time.

With a motto "He serves best who serves
the truth" KSU's chapter of Sigma Delta
Chi entered its third year. It is one of
the three professional fraternities on
campus.

Three purposes form the basis of this
journalistic fraternity. First, to provide an
organized unit for journalists of talent,
energy and truth. Second, to assist the
members in acquiring the highest princi-
ples of journalism and to cooperate with
them in this field. Third, to advance the
standards of the press by fostering a
higher ethical code.

Early in the Fall quarter, the chapter
promoted the Front Page Ball. They also
undertook the news event at NEOSP clinic
and the annual publications banquet. Ad-
ditional plans undertaken were to give a
scholarship to a freshman student in jour-
nalism and sponsor Rowboat Regatta.

The fraternity holds monthly banquets
at which time outstanding speakers in the
field of journalism are brought in.

A blue key actually has few uses. It cannot
open doors, it isn't the solution to a problem and it
can't give one the answers to a test. But a Blue
Key in the life of a Kent man does have a special
meaning. As Phi Beta Kappa stamps a person for
scholarship, so Blue Key marks him as one of all-
around ability, good character, possessing the qual-
ities of leadership and the confidence of his fellow
students.

The Blue Key does help in opening one door —
the entrance of KSU to incoming freshmen. Many
of the brothers act as advisors to these new stu-
dents. They also serve as hosts for Homecoming
and for Alumni Day.

Numerous Christmas cards reach their desti-
nation through the aid of the organization's Blue
Book, an all-university directory, published an-
nually. Penny Carnival is another operation under
the direction of these "wheels" of the campus.

Membership into this honorary comes hard.
The present 21 members have fulfilled their three
basic requirements, a combination of service,
leadership and scholarship. Each of these men is
able to boast that he is part of the national motto,
"Serving I live."

Officers: Don Day, Sec; Richard Cutshall, Pres. ;

The proverbial "black book" has been replaced on the

produced by this service "roup

serves as the key to
il the Kent students.

In Service Fraternity

Blue Key sprung from a faith in the sincerity
and ability of college men. The fraternity had its
foundation first in the idea that real American
university student leaders are God-fearing, law-
abiding citizens who believe that worthwhile pro-
gress can best be made through the orderly proces-
ses of evolution and not revolution. Secondly, the
belief that male students are adults and should
be treated as such.

In 1924 twenty-five outstanding student leaders
were called together on the University of Florida
campus. These men were chosen for their promi-
nence and confidence by the student body. By
1934 the organization was a well-formed national
fraternity. As everywhere else in the fraternity
world, quality, not quantity, counts.

Cardinal Key

Home Ec Club

At Kent, as well as at other universities, there
are some people who are more prominent than
others. If these standouts are feminine, they are
likely to be members of Cardinal Key.

As a key must be near-perfect to open a lock,
so the girls of this honorary must possess high
character, prudence, temperance and fortitude.
They are dedicated to religion, service through
leadership and patriotism.

Thirty-eight years is a long time to have any-
thing on the stove, but the KSU Home Economics
club is still literally "cooking with gas."

During the year speakers are brought to the
campus for meetings, Christmas dinner is given,
the seniors are honored at a breakfast, a Buddy
picnic is held and a Fun Nite is staged.

These girls are finding out the right way
to a man's heart and any employer's pocket book.

Future Teachers of America

Demand is always great for teachers who are
well-trained and Kent is one of the leading sup-
pliers for this field.

On this campus there is an organization whose
purpose is to give its members an insight into
their prospective career. This group is for future
teachers, appropriately named FTA — future teach-
ers of America.

FTA sponsors high school groups who have
their own chapters and who come to Kent. FTA
also attends NEO and Ohio Schools.

Other projects are the Freshman Tea in the
fall with faculty members, deans and the Presi-
dent. On the social side, they hold an annual
Christmas party for the underprivileged children,
have social meetings with such clubs as the In-
dustrial Arts club and, of course, the annual
weiner roast in May. Also every spring, FTA
brings a famous speaker to the campus who is in
the education field.

Advisors for this organization are Dr. Charles
Carter, Mr. George Cook and Miss Anita Crist.

Santa Claus brought bright smiles to the faces of mam-
underprivileged children at FTA's Christmas party.

HPE Club

Believing that good recreation is the cure for
many evils, the health and physical education ma-
jors find a common meeting ground in the HPE
club.

The purpose of the club is not to build muscles,
but to promote professional interest and stimulate
better student relationships through recreation.
Meetings also provide members an opportunity to
hear speakers from their own profession.

Delta Psi Kappa

Delta Psi Kappa, physical education honorary,
is open to women majoring or minoring in that
field.

Those women who attain membership in this
organization must have an over-all scholastic av-
erage of 2.5 and a B average in their physical edu-
cation classes. The main aim of the group is to
achieve a more cooperative spirit and better re-
lationships among the students.

Chemical Society

Geological Society

Following today's growing interest in science,
Kent's chemistry club became a student affiliate
of the American Chemical Society in 1950.

Its chief purpose is to instill students of science
with a pride in their profession and give them a
chance to meet important men in the field. This
is accomplished through group-sponsored ban-
quets, picnics and field trips. Along with these,
movies are shown and speakers are brought in.

The Geological Society is composed of stu-
dents and faculty members who are interested in
the physical aspects of the world we live in. The
society sponsors field trips to points of geological
interest in the surrounding area and engages
speakers throughout the year to discuss various
topics pertaining to geology. These activities
have increased the scientific interests of the mem-
bers of the organization, founded in 1948.

Delta Omicron

One of the newest honoraries on the Kent
campus, Delta Omicron, national professional mu-
sic fraternity, organized in March 1954, has al-
ready attained a high place in the lives of many
music students.

Furthering the progress of American music and
American women composers and raising scholar-
ship standards are the group's two main objectives.

Music Educators Club

The Music Educators club was formed to ac-
quaint members with problems they may en-
counter upon entering the music teaching pro-
fession.

The club's roster now lists 33 music education
majors and minors. Social and educational meet-
ings are held monthly. Some of the members also
attend the national conferences.

Phi Gamma Nu

Who says it's a man's world? This is no longer
true in the business world, however. Women have
long since proved to be equal, if not better than
some of the businessmen themselves.

Out of this invasion of the male empire arose
an organization which united American business
women — Phi Gamma Nu.

The honorary was established at KSU in
March, 1951 and is a social as well as professional
honorary for the female business majors. The
honorary sorority requires a point average of 2.7 or
better.

Phi Gamma Nu works not only for KSU, but
for the surrounding community as well. Each year
the organization presents a typewriter to a nearby
veteran's hospital. Also, a scholarship key is given
to a senior woman with the highest point average
in BA. Another project of Phi Gamma Nu is the
provision of a loan fund to help members finish
their education.

Alpha Phi Omega

The University serves its students, but who
serves the University? This is the proud function
of the members of Alpha Phi Omega, who have
been the right-hand men of Kent for thirteen
years.

They launched the Community Chest drive
into full swing again this year by distributing con-
tainers to all the dormitories and the Student
Union.

The national service fraternity has a four-
point program which stresses service to the Uni-
versity, to the community, to the country and to
themselves. However, it is not an honorary fra-
ternity, but requires members to have previous
Boy Scout training and a sincere desire to serve
the University. The members come from every
field of interest: — journalism, science, education
and music.

Among past donations to the campus made by
this organization is included the Victory Bell pre-
sented to the school to be rung on the occasion of
every Kent victory.

laxation as well as recreation for girls living on
campus. W. R. A., composed of representatives
chosen by the women students, is the governing
body which sees that sport programs are set up,
rules carried out and intramural contests set up
for some competition between the four women's
dormitories.

Epsilon Pi Tau is set up to promote skill and
proficiency in the field of industrial arts while
recognizing important research work.

The fraternity recently completed its first re-
search project — a prospective membership book-
let.

Membership is open to students and outstand-
ing men in the field of industrial arts.

Society for Justice

"With liberty and justice for all." The mem-
bers of the Society for Justice weren't the first to
voice this cherished ideal, but they will defend it
with every bit of argument and ingenuity they
possess.

The Society for Justice is a new organization
but it is an outgrowth of the old pre-law club. Its
primary aim is to promote a better understanding

of the field of law among its members and among
the general public.

The 30 members of the group are either pre-
law or political science majors. They meet twice
monthly for programs, debates and discussions.

With the Lady of Justice as their symbol, the
members of the Society are the future preservers
of the American system of fair trial and justice
for all.

Practical art in the form of industrial art is the
chief interest of the Industrial Arts club.

Special demonstrations, movies, lectures and
field trips take up much of the time of its mem-
bers.

The purpose of the organization is to make so-
cial ties between students attracted to the indus-
trial arts field. The social events which further
this desire include a semi-formal dance and a ban-
quet with members of the aviation and architec-
ture groups.

Membership, which numbers about eighty, is
open to any major or minor in the field. Meetings
are held every Wednesday night at which time
outside speakers are brought to the campus to
speak on various interesting topics concerned with
the field.

Pi Omega Pi is the national honorary fraternity
for Business Education majors.

One of the newest honoraries on the Kent
campus, the local chapter was installed in Janu-
ary, 1953. Members of the business group are se-
lected on the basis of four principles: scholarship,
citizenship, service and ethics.

The group, which meets twice a month, has
certain requirements which its members must
meet. Among these are a 3.0 average in educa-
tion and business subjects and 2.5 average in all
other curriculum.

Pi Omega Pi has aided both University and
civic organizations this year. Their main project
during the school year was to supply magazines
to neighboring homes for the aged. Another goal
which was achieved was the preparation of ma-
terials for classes in business education.

Delta Phi Alpha

The most important thing in learning any
foreign language is to keep at it day after day. As
more and more students became interested in
languages, other than English, they organized
social groups to provide a pleasant atmosphere for
a continued and more intense study of these
languages.

The Chi chapter of Pi Delta Phi, the French
honorary and Beta Lambda, local chapter of Sigma
Delta Pi, Spanish honorary both came to the cam-
pus in 1948. Two years later a German honorary,
Delta Phi Alpha, joined these other two. These
groups watch movies, read books and speak in the
foreign tongue.

Art Guild

Officers: Thelma Hyland, Adv.; Jane Feick, Sec;

Kent has its own art exhibits and art shows
sponsored by the Art Guild. Compared to other
organizations on campus, the Art Guild is relative-
ly new, having its beginning on February 12, 1953

The primary purpose of the Art Guild is to
stimulate interest and encourage art throughout
Kent State University. It holds meetings every
Tuesday and Thursday. The Thursday meeting is
chiefly a workshop session.

The principle activities of the group are work-
shop sessions, trips to museums and demonstra-
tions and lectures.

Membership is open to all students at Kent
State, not just art students. Through this the
Guild hopes to further the interest of art and per-
haps discover hidden talents.

Art Guild is the fine arts answer to the Indus-
trial Arts club, by fostering classical and modern
painting.

Flying Club

There are many people in this world who have
always dreamed of flying into the "vast unknown"
or the upper hemisphere, but who either don't
have the opportunity nor the means to fulfill this
desire.

On KSU's campus, however, there is an or-
ganization whose purpose is to give both under-
graduates and faculty the chance to fly at a mini-
mum cost. This group is known as the Kent State
Flying Club and was one of the first of its kind
in Ohio to be granted a corporation charter by
the state.

Besides ownership of several light planes, the
club has a glider that was presented to them by
the state in cooperation with the Ohio Aviation
board.

The only requirements needed to join the fly-
ing club is parental permission and a sincere de-
sire to fly.

Phi Alpha Theta

Begun in 1927 to create a common tie between
all athletes, Varsity K club today leads the way
in Ohio for activeness and keeping its alumni
informed.

Membership into the club comes automatically
with being presented a Varsity letter. Members
meet with former lettermen when they return to
the campus for K day, which is set aside to cele-
brate varsity achievement.

If history does repeat itself, a study of yester-
day's errors may eliminate a few tomorrow. Phi
Alpha Theta, history honorary tries to arouse
interest in history so that we may learn by pre-
vious mistakes.

Requirements for membership are 18 hours of
history with a 3.1 average in the field and a junior
standing.

Wesley Foundation

The local Wesley Foundation is only one of
many supported nationally by the Methodist
church. The Foundation, however, is not merely
limited to Methodists. KSU students of all faiths
are welcome to participate in any or all of its
functions.

The members take part in many social activi-
ties, bull sessions, etc., as well as religious pro-
grams. Sunday nights find these students cook-
ing their own cost supper at the Methodist church.

A program and worship service usually follow.
Two highlights of the year are the Fall and Spring
Weekend Retreats. Dancing, skating parties also
spark their social life.

Wesley has its own newspaper, dramatic group,
choir, intramural sports teams, deputation teams,
as well as Bible Study and worship groups.

New to the organization are Director, the Rev.
Wm. B. Van Valkenburgh and Hostess, Mrs. Hazel
Glesankamp.

ence, imply their basic loyalty to Christ. Sigma
chapter at KSU engages itself in many activities
on campus and throughout the city of Kent.

The men find time for numerous social events
as well as religious programs and service projects.
The annual Sweetheart Dance, held in conjunction
with Kappa Phi, Winter quarter, and Founder's
Day weekend in the Spring are the two main
socials of the year. They entered songfest compe-
tition for the first time and won second place.

Newman Club

A versatile schedule of religious and social acti-
vities for its members is Newman Club's well-
planned objective.

The Catholic group had a big project on its
hand when it undertook to remodel the former
home of the custodian of St. Patrick's church. The
church donated the place to the Newmanites after
the new church was completed a year ago. The
new center was remodeled under the supervision
of one of its members who was an architect major.
It has rooms for large gatherings, officer's rooms,
a kitchen, project rooms, a club room and an office
for Father Daum, group advisor.

Each year, the Newman Club holds two all-
University formals, as well as frequent informal
dances. The club also participates in intramural
sports.

The king and queen of the Mardi Gras are crowned at
one of the traditional Newman Club social events.

Lutheran Student Fellowship

Having the greatest year since its organization
at KSU, the Lutheran Student Fellowship became
one of the stronger religious groups on campus.
With an enrollment far exceeding that of the pre-
vious year, the group began participating in many
important University functions.

The full schedule of activities included social
as well as religious sessions. Good use was made
of the year-old Student Center as it was used for
regular bi-monthly meetings, cost suppers on Sun-
day and studying throughout any day. The Cen-
ter's television set, lounge chairs and couches gave
students an opportunity to get away from their

drab and boring study rooms to a place which re-
sembled a homelike environment. The Sunday
evening suppers gave Lutheran students and
friends an opportunity to eat a home-cooked meal
at cost and to take part in religious fellowship and
recreation afterwards.

While having a busy social year, the group
also conducted a well-rounded religious program.
Guest speakers in the field of Lutheran religion,
movies on religious topics and special student
church services highlighted the spiritual activities
during the year.

The Delta Gamma chapter of Gamma Delta.
International Association of Lutheran Students,
was activated on the Kent State campus on April
4, 1954. In its first year some forty students have
pledged, of which eight are alumni of the gradu-
ating classes of June and September, 1954.

Gamma Delta meets bi-weekly in the Luther-
an Student Center, 950 Crain Avenue, on Sunday
nights for cost suppers and programs. Special
speakers during the past year included the Rev.
Reginald Lehenbauer of Argentina, the Rev. Les-
ter Draheim of Cleveland Lutheran Hospital and
others.

A contingent of actives and pledges attended
the Gamma Delta Regional Winter Camp at St.
Mary's Lake, East Battle Creek, Michigan, Janu-
ary 28-30 and the Spring Convention at Ann Ar-
bor, Michigan. The first anniversary of Charter
presentation was celebrated on Sunday, April 3,

Members of UCF line up on Sunday night to receive their name tags
before the weekly cost supper. This means of identification is the
fastest way for everyone to become acquainted with one another.

United Christian Fellowship

UCF — United Christian Fellowship, is one of
only five such religious groups in the United
States.

Eight national Protestant denominations make
up this group: Baptist, Congregational, Disciples
of Christ, Episcopal, Evangelical and Reformed,
Evangelical United Brethren, Presbyterian and
Universalist.

The group sponsors a coffee hour every Wednes-
day at 4 p.m. at the UCF house. Other activities
include cost suppers on Sunday evenings, an an-
nual Winter formal, a spring retreat and Religious
Emphasis Week. A popular project that was
started a year ago is UCF's supplying sandwiches
to the dorms. UCF members make the sandwiches

themselves and sell them between 10 and 10:30
p.m. Mondays through Thursdays.

UCF brings in different speakers, usually pas-
tors from neighboring communities to speak at
their coffee hours. These discussion meetings often
attract as many as sixty students. Any student on
campus may belong to UCF.

Under the direction of Rev. William K. Laurie,
UCF is a relatively new organization and still in
the experimental stage. Many religious leaders of
the nation are closely observing this group. A
board of trustees, composed of 36 ministers and
laymen, together with professors and administra-
tors of the University, supervise the policies, per-
sonnel and funds of UCF.

Hillel, small in numbers, large in hopes.

Organized in March 1953, the B'nai Brith Hillel
Councellorship offers the Jewish men and women
on campus an opportunity to exchange ideas and
thoughts.

The basic idea of Hillel is a simple one; to pro-
mote fellowship and social understanding between
students of the Jewish faith and among students
of other religious backgrounds.

Work, lectures, discussions and business meet-
ings make Hillel look like a very serious group,
but the social committee helps relieve this. A
skate party, informal get-togethers and other so-
cial affairs highlighted the social calendar.

Under the advisorship of Rabbi Abraham Leib-
tag, the group also takes an active part in Univer-
sity Religious Council. Hillel meetings are held
every Wednesday evening in the Student Union.

Hillel, only two years old, is just beginning to
walk. In the future they will march.

Like an argument? Easy! Just pick one word —
sports. "Good" if you are on one side; "Bad" if you
are on the other side.

Let us pick a different word. Let us use the
word recreation. Further let us break the word
into parts and say re-creation. A time for human
battery charging.

At Kent we think of re-creation. Some play
games in competition with teams from other
schools, some play games within the intramural
program, some seek partners for hand ball or
bowling and some get the recharging second hand,
as fans in the stands.

Examine the Kent plan. You will find it based
on recreation as defined by the best educational
standards. The pessimist sees only five thousand
cheering fan-atics two or three times a year, but
the sound thinker sees a project serving five thous-
and students day by day every day.

Co-ordination of muscle and mind in smooth timing
make a beautiful picture in any sportsman's eye
for he appreciates the training necessary.

These symbols of sports are
the tools of an athlete.

Good Pitchine And Poor Hitting— An Average Ball Club

Pitcher Bob Harrison and catcher George Janik teamed
up to give the Flashes a strong battery combination.
Harrison turned in key mound performances and Janik
sparked the team with his throwing arm and big bat.

The game of baseball consists generally of two
phases — batting and pitching. And the 1954 edi-
tion of the Golden Flash diamond team presented
an interesting contrast between the two. Headed
by three-year veteran Lou Bocci, who hurled a 6-0
no-hitter against Marshall (the second in his ca-
reer at Kent Stats) , the Flashes boasted a truly
excellent mound staff. Bocci, Chuck Hofmeister
and Bob Harrison, "big three" of the Hill corps,
compiled an earned run average of only 3.18 —
nearly as good as that of the Cleveland Indians,
1954 American League champs.

But Coach Matt Resick's men couldn't hit. The
team batting average was an anemic .203. Only
Dan Potopsky, first baseman, and Tony Rocco,
second sacker, hit over .300.

Put the two together, poor hitting and good
pitching, and you have an average ball club. And
that's just what the 1954 Flashes were — average.
They broke even in eighteen games, winning nine
and losing nine. They allowed 81 runs while scor-
ing an almost equal number, 78. They finished
fourth in Mid-American conference, an average
position, with a 4-5 league record. And they even
gave an average performance in extra-inning
games, winning against Wooster in 11 innings and
losing to Potomac State in 13.

Track is the oldest of sports. Time has not destroyed its popularity
since it was introduced by the ancient Greeks some 2500 years ago.
Today, man is still trying to run faster, throw farther,1 jump ,higher
and break records set by his athletic forebears. The quest goes on at
Kent State — and fascinated fans turn out to watch.

high jump against Akron.
Kent lost the meet.

Cindermen Finish 2-7

At a casual glance, the 1954 track season ap-
peared disappointing. The Golden Flash thin-
clads won only two of seven meets and finished
last in the Mid-American conference. On two
occasions the opponents scored more than 100
points against them. A closer look, however, re-
vealed that the season wasn't a total loss. In fact,
it provided plenty of room for optimism.

It was the first year of an ambitious rebuilding
program under a new coach, Jay Fischer, who suc-
ceeded Joe Begala in order to permit Begala more
time to devote to his wrestling team. Fischer's
most important move was the development of a
freshman squad which produced good prospects.

Freshmen Out-Do Varsity
And Break Four Records

The freshman trackmen scored victories over
Case and Ohio U frosh teams, and lost to the
powerful Bowling Green yearling squad. It broke
four existing freshman records at KSU, and sev-
eral times it out-performed the varsity. Speaking
of records, two varsity men, Phil Conti and Bob
Phelps, added color to an otherwise drab season
by breaking two of Kent's all-time records. Conti
threw the discus 145'3", to better his own record
of 135'3". Phelps set new heights for future pole
vaulters to reach, as he vaulted 12'83/4", topping
his previous mark of 12'5V2". Both Phelps and
Conti were seniors.

Phil Conti, holder of KSU's shot put record,
performed his specialty at the Akron U meet.

Dick Bartfay and Jim Whitley flanked a Western
Reserve hurdler in a torrid race at one meet.

Paul Fanti led the pack in the mile run
against Case. Dale Thornberry was fourth.

Pole-vaulter Don Burke goes high against the sky as
he just barely manages to skim over the cross-bar.

Tennis Nets Best Season

Strong serves and powerful returns paid divi-
dends for the tennis team last spring, as the Golden
Flash netmen compiled the best record in school
history. Under Coach Karl Chesnutt's watchful
eye, Kent ended the regular season with a 7-2
record and went on to finish fourth in Mid-
American conference playoffs.

What makes the feat more outstanding is the
fact that the squad was plagued by injury and
illness in the campaign. Art DeGenaro, veteran
net performer, suffered an arm injury toward the
end of the season, while Blanford Fuller was put
on the disabled list due to sickness. Both men
were key performers in Kent's attack.

The most impressive win of the year was a 9-0
blanking of Western Reserve. This followed a
tough 5-4 loss to Wooster College in the season
opener and served to spark the Flashes along the
victory trail.

Letter winners included Bill Walker, Tom
Beers, Harris Brown, Tom Meinhardt, Norton
Schneps, Blanford Fuller and Art DeGenaro.

Harris Brown gives a fine demonstration of forehand
return against John Carroll as the Flashes eke out

Golf Team Tied For First

A 9-2 season record with first place tie for Mid-
American conference honors last spring kept our
golf coach, Howard Morrette, smiling throughout
the year. In addition to this, the Flashes stroked
their way to a third-place finish in the Ohio Inter-
collegiate championship matches at Ohio State
university and placed 18th in NCAA champion-
ships held at Houston, Texas. This marked the
first year KSU had appeared in the national
playoffs.

Kent started its season with four consecutive
wins before bowing to a strong University of
Detroit squad. A loss to Ohio U was the only other
flaw on the schedule as the Flashes ended the
regular season with four straight decisions. A 12-0
shutout over Western Reserve, a 24-3 rout of John
Carroll, and two successive victories over Youngs-
town, highlighted the play. Partial revenge for
the Ohio U defeat was garnered in the Conference
playoffs as the Flashes and Bobcats tied for first
place.

Joe Lazor led the squad with an average of 74.5
per match. John Ailes finished second with a 74.7
mark while Danny Forlani compiled a 75.6 aver-
age. Chub Chionchio, Paul Yaworsky and Roger
Johnston all played important roles in the success-
ful campaign.

Rees, head coach and athletic director.

The Flashes were at their flashiest when they topped
Western Reserve 65-0 for a new school scoring mark.
Bill Whitley (below) and others made frequent gains.

Whenever Lou Mariano needed a breather as fullback
sophomore Bill Blair was always ready to step in and
replace him. Here he fights for yardage against B-W.

The 1954 football season was the greatest in
history at Kent State — one that will live in the
hearts of loyal Kent students for years to come.
Coach Trevor Rees made his eighth year as head
coach his best as the Golden Flashes rolled to an
8-1 record, equaling that of the 1941 eleven. But
there is no doubt that the '54 squad was a much
better team.

Playing in much rougher competition required
by the Mid-American Conference, the Flashes
ranked second in the nation in small-college total
offense and established 17 all-time school records.
Their total of 324 points set a new season record,
as did their 3,392 yards rushing and 4,062 yards
total offense. Their average of 36 points and 451
yards a game were also new highs. And Lou Mar-
iano, the deaf-mute fullback, earned places on
various All-Ohio and all-league teams when he
scored 86 points and rushed for 1,037 yards to set
new records.

In short, the Flashes were tremendous — and
it was only natural that their string of records
should stretch all the way to Evansville, Indiana,
where the Refrigerator Bowl game put them in the
national spotlight.

A Record-Breaking Season and A Record-Smashing Team

Ohio U handed the Flashes their only loss by grinding out short yard-
age. Here a Bobcat back is met by Kent Center Xunzio Polichene after
picking up a few crucial yards. Jim Whitley (16) moves in to help.

Triumph Follows
Quick Comeback

All truly great teams in sports
can be judged by their ability to
come back. And that's just what
the Flashes did after the Ohio U.
loss. They didn't give up. They
stormed back the week after to
rip Marshall 41-20 and then to
nudge Bowling Green 28-25 on
a cold, wet Homecoming Day.
Triumphs followed, over Akron
U. 58-18, John Carroll 27-14 and
Western Michigan 20-13. Coach
Rees, Captain Sonji Herzberg
and the whole courageous gang
refused to let one loss ruin a
season — and it paid off. Even-
tually Ohio U. was beaten and
the Flashes moved into second
place behind mighty Miami in
the league. And more important,
it paid off in Kent State team's
first bid to a post-season Bowl
appearance.

One of the surprises of the season
was speedy Bill Whitley, who here
swivel-hips against John Carroll.

Three All-Ohioans, Mike Xorcia (42), Joe Barbee (72)
and Xunzio Polichene (5(5), shown above bringing down
a John Carroll back, made KSU's defense a stiff one.

Halfback Jack Rittichier (40) brings down a bucking
Western Michigan Bronco from behind in the mud and
rain of the final game. Kent rallied to win, 20-13.

Whenever Lou Mariano had daylight, he was away for
a long gain. Here's one instance, though, where there
was none as Western Michigan tacklers surround him.

269

Mike Norcia, with a freshly-changed uniform, rammed
for a short gain. Luke Owens (86) came to lend help.

Like every other ball carrier, this Delaware back
had trouble holding on to the slippery pigskin.

No One Disappointed

The Golden Flashes saw a season-long dream
come to reality early in December as they were
picked to play the University of Delaware in the
Refrigerator Bowl at Evansville, Indiana. The
Refrigerator Bowl is one of the eight post-season
bowls sanctioned by the National Collegiate Ath-
letic Association and Kent's selection represented
quite a milestone in the University's history.

The Flashes made the trip by chartered plane
on a beautiful day, Dec. 4. They returned on an
equally beautiful day, Dec. 6. But the day in
between, Dec. 5 — the day of the big game — Coach
Rees and the team would just as soon forget.
Temperatures were just as cold as a refrigerator
and an all-night rain coupled with a grassless
gridiron made for the muddiest playing conditions
imaginable. A constant drizzle during the game
didn't help matters, either.

Kent State entered the contest as the number
one offensive team in the nation. Delaware, led
by its ail-American quarterback Don Miller, was
the number one passing team in the East. On pa-
per the game was a "natural," and the two teams
didn't disappoint. Despite the drab conditions,
they put on a football duel that Evansville fans
will not soon forget.

Kent scored first as quarterback Bob Stimac
climaxed a 40-yard second period drive by sneak-
ing over from the one. Tony Rocco added the con-
version and KSU led 7-0. But the Flashes couldn't
get up touchdown traction in the mud after that,
while Miller's aerial arm got hot for the Blue
Hens. Two last period scores broke Kent's back.
Final score: 19-7.

Delaware players were
muddy too as guard Nick
Negro evidences. He's
talking to Coach Jones.

Whoops! Mike Norcia (42) just couldn't hang on to that
wet ball as it went squirting out of his hands. A free-
for-all ensued with Bob Stimac (22) finally falling on
it to retain possession of the ball for the Flashes.

Mud-caked and cold, Gino
Monastra watched his
teammates falter in the
final minutes of the game.

jB£ & W™ iSSf

The Flashes returned with many fond memories and
a shiny trophy, here being presented to Coach Rees.

Your guess is as good as our's as to who this KSU
ball carrier is. Mud and a Delaware man stop him.

You couldn't begin to read the numbers of these Two Evansville JayCees held open the door for Lou

Mak Mannen, junior forward who finished as second
high scorer on the team with 270 points, looked as if
he'd just jumped down through the encircled arms of
Bowling Green's center, Max Chapman. The Flashes,
who hadn't beaten BG since 1941, won twice in 1955.

Arch McDonnell outraced two John Carroll defenders
and leaped high to score an easy layup shot, with an
appropriate facial expression to help. The Flashes
met Carroll twice and dropped both games. McDonnell
shook off an early season injury to score 248 points.

Coach Bud Haerr's basketball team went up
and down more times during the '54-'55 season
than a new army recruit doing belly-flops during
calisthenics period.

There were nights, such as when they surprised
highly-touted Marshall 92-80 or when they halted
Akron U's nine-game winning skein, that the
Golden Flashes were veritable world-beaters. But
then there were other nights, like when they
bowed to little Mount Union or when they were
in the midst of their nightmarish five-game losing
streak at the close of the season, that they could do
nothing right.

Their unpredictability made the Flashes an
interesting team to watch though and most Kent
fans were satisfied with its 8-14 record. Its fifth
place tie in the Mid-American conference with
Bowling Green (record, 5-9) also was just about
what was expected. But Haerr, fielding a team
composed entirely of sophomores and juniors, has
rosy ambitions for next year. The entire squad
will return plus the addition of several top fresh-
men prospects.

Dangerous Dan
Among Top
Twenty in U. S.

Dan "Spook" Potopsky may look
sleepy-eyed, but get him on a basketball
floor and you'll never find a more alert
lad.

Dangerous Dan became the darling of
KSU cage fans last winter as he shat-
tered almost every scoring mark on the
books at KSU. He finished with some
493 points, a 23.4 average per game that
put him among the top 20 scorers in the
U.S. Both marks would have been high-
er had not the Independence junior in-
jured his hip and been forced to miss the
last two games. Even still, his 493 total
far surpassed the previous school high
of 403 set by Leroy Thompson in 1948-
49. And he was the first Flash ever to
average over 20 points a game.

His best night was against Western
Michigan here as he pitched in 49 points,
a new single-game record not only for
Kent State, but also the Mid-American
conference. With his pet jump shot
finding the range nearly every shot, he
hit on 20 field goals and nine free
throws.

His scoring feats earned him many
all-Ohio and all-conference honors. And
best of all, he'll be back next year.

Arch McDonnell and Akron U's Mel Kiser,
(20) looked like they were playing foot-
ball as they piled on a loose fumble.

Seemingly no one especially wanted this
loose ball in the Kent-Marshall game.
Only KSU's Dick Tolloti reached for it.

Mak Mannen and Western Reserve's Bob
Coy went out of bounds for this one,
right in front of the Kent State bench.

Arch McDonnell (44), Don Gindlesberger
(42) and Mak Mannen (54) all tried, but
couldn't get the ball from WRU's Howard.

WRESTLING TEAM, left to right: row 1: John Twark, Jack Love,
Jack Patrick, Jerry Petrofes and Al Landau. Row 2: Steve Garrett,
Lowell Busick, Harry Garner and Phil Perkins. Row 3: Coach Joe
Begala, Lennie Pryzborowski, Melvin Nader and Robert Conrad.

Wrestling Team Matches Football Record

For the 11th time in Joe Begala's 26 years as
KSU wrestling coach his team went through a
season with only one loss. This year Weepin' Joe's
team turned in an 8-1 record, identical to Trev
Rees' football mark just a few months before.

And also like the football team, the wrestlers
suffered their only setback at the hands of Ohio
U, who upset them 20-8 after they had won seven
in a row. The Flashes also won third place in the
Mid-American conference post-season meet.

Begala, in his usual pre-season pessimism, said
his team "would be lucky to win five this year."
But led by Captain Johnny Twark and Jack Love,
it surprised everybody. Twark went through all
nine regular season matches undefeated and cap-
tured first place in the 137 lb. class in the MAC
meet. Love, who was ranked fourth in the nation
in the 123 lb. division last spring, lost only one. He
took his first seven matches by pins and went on
after the season to defend his conference title by
defeating the Ohio U wrestler who had handed
him his only defeat during the regular campaign.

Don Barry (top) applies the squeeze to his foe in
a 147-lb. battle of strength and savvy. Wonder
how much that gritting of his teeth helped him ?

Trace through this complexity ot arms and legs
and you'll find Kent's Don Barry riding on top of Don

Ohio U gave the Golden Flashes their only defeat
of the year, but certainly not through the fault
of Phil Perkins, here pinning Ohio's Ben Carbons.

Don Barry wraps his leg around his opponent's and
lifts up the other knee to dump Bonifield to the

KSU Swimming Team

Coaches Bill Hoover and Dick Paskert were
faced with a tremendous job in developing a
strong swimming team at Kent State during the
'55 season.

Graduation took its usual heavy toll while oth-
er 1954 mermen had dropped the sport for various
reasons. The total results for the season was a
squad made up of numerous underclassmen form-
ed around a nucleus of a few returning veterans.

Joe Kempf, a four year member of the swim-
ming squad, performed in great style and sparked
the attack. Dave Hambleton, Nick Bosworth and
Dave Thomasson also turned in colorful perform-
ances to make the season an interesting one.

One hopeful note at the end of the season was
that most of the swimmers would return for the
'56 season.

While Flash mermen churn the waters ot the MPE
pool, robed teammates cheer for a Golden Flash victory.

Away up in the air are breast strokers from Kent State and Oberlin as
the)- vie fcr first-place laurels in swim competition at the MPE pool.

Swimmers Find '55
Season Rough Going

Golden Flash mermen found the water rough
this year as they managed to finish first in only
five of twelve regularly scheduled meets.

Coach Bill Hoover's swimmers opened their
season in fine style by defeating Wooster college
in the MPE building pool. After competing in the
MAC relays at Miami university, the Flashes
dropped two consecutive meets, one against Case
Tech and the other against Carnegie Tech.

Returning to friendly home waters, Kent went
on their only winning spree of the campaign by
drowning Wittenberg, Slippery Rock and Cincin-
nati on consecutive weekends.

Miami snapped the three-meet winning string
by out-splashing the locals at Oxford. Kent never
saw the surface again during the season as Ober-
lin, Kenyon, and Ohio U. stroked past them.

The Mid American Conference swimming
meet held at Kent saw Miami the winner and
Kent in fourth place.

Kent State merman Dave Thomasson takes off
on the initial lap of the backstroke competition.

279

Seeing old friends, getting back into the grind of classes and be-
wildered freshmen are all part of the fall campus scene. Intramural
football helps to bring the students together on the sports field.

It's Not Varsity But It's Still Popular

Anxious eyes watched the ball arch toward the hoop
in one of the numerous intramural basketball games.

280

Every bit as important as varsity sports in
KSU's well-rounded athletic program are the in-
tramural activities. Although they don't receive
the headlines earned by the varsity teams, the in-
tramurals are every bit as popular — perhaps even
more so. They provide an outlet for hundreds of
University males to participate in sports, a chance
they wouldn't otherwise get.

Directing the extensive program, which in-
cludes at least 12 sports, is Victor Moore, director
of intramurals. It's his job to arrange schedules,
handle the various tournaments, keep the crowded
program moving and generally keep peace among
the fraternities and independent groups vying for
top honors in the numerous sports.

Team championships were pretty well passed
around. In activity up to spring quarter, Delta
Upsilon had copped the bowling title; Sigma Nu,
volleyball; the Hounds (an independent entry),
basketball; the KSU Vets, touch football; and
Kappa Sigma, swimming.

Alpha Tau Omega had three men win weight
championships in wrestling; Sigma Nu, two; and
Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Phi Delta Theta one
each.

With the fraternities, independents and dorms
providing more than 20 teams, intramural athletics
at Kent have an intensive competitive angle that
adds spice to the university sports program.

Beginning in the fall, the intramural program
offers sports of interest to everyone throughout
the school year.

Among the many varieties of athletics offered
to the non-varsity athlete are touch football, vol-
leyball, softball, track, swimming, wrestling, table
tennis and basketball. With such a wide scope of
available sports many men and women take part
in at least two of these activities.

Under the direction of Vic Moore, the students
play a leading role in the development of intra-
murals. The intramural committee of the Student
Council meets with Mr. Moore to plan organiza-
tion and policies for the coming year.

Close competition and sportsmanship are as much a
part of intramurals as they are of varsity sports.

Everyone An Athlete in Campus Intramurals

Spring turns a young man's fancy to many things. One ol these is
baseball. He's safe sliding into home, and one thing is for sure,
it's a safe bet that another exciting ball game is under way.

To the students and faculty of Kent State University,

Most authors take a page or two to write a preface for their book, and many yearbook editors devote
a page to thank the many people who help in producing a publication of this type, and also to inform the
readers as to just what it takes to produce a yearbook. I find myself no exception.

A yearbook is a mechanical production, and without the finest professional help from the companies
that service the yearbook, it would be impossible to come up with a top notch publication. My sincerest
thanks to Russ Benson, Fred Noer, Frank Persell and Margaret Carey of the Indianapolis Engraving
Co.; Jud Rinebold of the Gray Printing Co.; and Jim Sams and Bob Wilson of Kingsport Press Inc.
Without the extra help of these people, ones who the students never see or meet, the Burr would never
have been published, and they, along with the countless number of men working under their supervision,
deserve a great deal of credit in producing the '55 book.

Someone figured out that more than 7,000 man hours of work went into the 1955 edition of the
Chestnut Burr, and its probably more than that by the time the hours of actual physical production are
included.

It's impossible to produce a 304 page volume without a staff, and it was a small one because we eli-
minated those who didn't really want to work. I can't begin to mention names, because I would certainly
leave someone out. So to all the staff members who worked to make the Burr a success, my deepest
thanks — and I hope the work on the Burr didn't ruin too many point averages.

No one man in the University was of more help than the Burr's advisor, Professor Dario Politella.
I more than appreciate his help and guidance, as well as the times when it was necessary for him to push
us as much as possible. Without his help and suggestions, the Burr would lack many things.

Yes, and there is my special thanks to the people who were not directly associated with the staff,
but who did so much to help me personally when help was needed. These were the three or four people
who were willing to put up with an editor's troubles, and then pitch in and help with the work when the
staff couldn't get it done.

The Burr is a good public relations book for the University, it competes and makes a favorable im-
pression with other universities, and it is read by many parents, but there is only one sign of a successful
yearbook. An All-American rating is a wonderful thing to receive in the yearly yearbook competition, and
we have been shooting for one since we began planning the book last summer, but the only sign of a
success is if the book is what KSU students want. From the start we have tried to keep the students, or
at least a majority of them, in mind, and the book is produced for the Kent State University students and
faculty, and with no other purpose in mind.

We've increased the size by 32 pages, added color photos, produced a special case for the cover, and
done everything possible to make the book more interesting for you, the students and faculty.

We've tried to cover and include as many events as possible. Naturally some have been left out, but
we have not meant to slight anyone.

Copy is written, checked, and re-written, but still errors crop up, and we only hope we have not
made any that are very serious, and if we have, our apologies because we certainly did not make them on
purpose.

Producing a yearbook takes a lot of time and patience as well as good photographs and top writing.
We've tried to include both in the 1955 Chestnut Burr. We started last spring when we began taking
pictures and talking ideas. Then during the summer the book was laid out and a dummy drawn up, and
again, we talked over new ideas.

Winter quarter, and we started moving. It was slow at first. The picture editor was sick the entire
quarter, the chief-photographer was not in school, and it was a new staff with much of the load being
carried by inexperienced people. Events were covered, pictures taken, stories written, and somehow the
first of the copy went to the printer before Christmas vacation.

Then we got some encouragement about the time Winter quarter began as our picture editor got off
the sick list, our chief photographer returned to school, and by then the staff had fast become veterans.
At last we moved into what I considered high gear as copy and pictures were sent on the way to the en-
graver and printer and we began to check the first of the completed page proofs. Then, all at once it
seemed the whole staff, from the editor on down, caught the flu, and we got behind in production. In
the final weeks of the quarter we had to push it. The largest batch of pictures went to engraver and the
greatest amount of copy went to the printers during finals week.

While most of the staff was enjoying spring vacation, some of us had to keep going every day to
finish the index. Now, in Spring quarter, this letter completes the copy, the pictures have all gone to
the engraver, the covers are at the binders waiting to be bound around the pages, and there are only a
few more pages to be marked with a final "OK". A person often wonders how the book ever gets fin-
ished, but somehow it does.

Thanks again to everyone for all the help and to the KSU students and faculty, we hope we have
brought you the kind of yearbook that you want.

The Editor
