Studying  at  Cambridge  Uni- 
versity in  England  was  Pat 
Proctor,  holder  of  the  Kent 
chapter  of  AAUW  scholarship 
for  foreign  study  during  1  953. 


As  part  of  their  work  in  history 
of  Ohio,  students  explored  the 
partial  reconstruction  of  the 
state's  first  townatSchoenbrunn. 


Europe, 


Mexico  was  the  destination  of  one  Kent  State  party, 
which  traveled  to  view  historically  significant  sites. 


Hoyden  Plonotarium  was  but  one 
of  the  educational  sites  visited  by 
Kent  Staters  on  the  University- 
sponsored     New     York     trip. 


Canada,  Mexico,  U^S.  Become  Travel-Study  Areas 


Opening  new  vistas  to  its  students,  Kent 
State  this  year  sponsored  study  tours  to 
Europe,  Mexico,  Canada  and  several  parts 
of  the  United  States. 

Europe,  a  new  travel  area  for  the  Uni- 
versity, was  visited  on  a  seven-week  trip 
which  included  seven  countries  on  its  itin- 
erary. Ohio's  150th  anniversary  as  a  state 
was  the  occasion  for  a  special  Ohio  history 


travel  tour,  while  the  Mexican  travelers 
used  that  country's  capital  city  as  a  base 
for  short  trips  to  important  localities  near- 

by. 

Offered  by  the  geography  department 
to  men  students,  the  Canadian  field  trip 
covered  a  large  portion  of  the  country.  The 
tour  was  made  by  private  car  to  cut  the 
cost  to  the  students  taking  it.

The  University 


Back  in  the  era  of  the  Model  A  and  the 
Model  T,  William  S.  Kent  donated  50  acres 
of  his  northeastern  Ohio  land  to  the  state 
for  a  normal  school. 

Classwork  started  on  the  campus  three 
years  later,  in  two  buildings  provided  by 
the  state.    The  enrollment  was  291. 

The  50  acres  is  now  250,  and  the  nor- 
mal school  has  become  Kent  State  Univer- 
sity.  The  enrollment  tops  the  5000  mark. 

It  has  been  44  years  of  progress  at  KSU. 
The  comparative  upstart  among  universi- 
ties has  taken  two  world  wars,  a  depression 
and  a  UN  "police  action"  in  her  stride.  Af- 
ter pulling  out  of  the  slump  of  the  first 
World  War,  growing  wildly  during  the 
20's,  then  slumping  again  with  the  depres- 
sion. KSU's  upward  climb  hit  another  snag 
in  1941.  Surviving  the  dearth  of  students 
during  the  duration,  the  University  used  its 
campus  to  train  men  for  the  armed  forces. 

In  1945,  Congress  passed  the  G.I.  Bill. 
Within  a  few  months,  the  enrollment  sky- 
rocketed to  4500.  KSU  was  one  of  hun- 
dreds of  schools  struggling  against  faculty 
shortages,  non-existent  classrooms,  and 
exhausted  supplies.  Proving  its  resource- 
fulness, KSU  absorbed  the  shock  and  ad- 
justed to  it. 

Since  the  war,  many  of  the  dreams  of 
expansion,  the  hopes,  aspirations,  and  de- 
sires have  been  fulfilled.  The  Union,  the 
Arts  Building,  the  Men's  Physical  Educa- 
tion Building  and  Stopher  Hall  have  been 
added  to  the  campus. 

Located  at  the  focus  of  Ohio's  most 
densely  populated  region,  the  KSU  campus 
is  within  50  miles  of  four  million  people. 
It  .has  grown  rapidly,  and  seems  destined 
to  continue  that  growth,  for  the  dreams  and 
hopes  that  have  made  it  the  second  largest 
state  university  in  Ohio  have  not  diminish-

Department 
Heads 


Teacher,  administrator,  psychologist — this  is  a 
KSU  department  head.  The  multitude  of  varied 
tasks  facing  each  department  head  requires  a  man 
or  woman  with  just  such  a  multi-sided  personality. 

As  a  teacher  he  acquaints  his  students  with  know- 
ledge concerning  his  particular  field  of  study  and 
gives  them  a  greater  desire  to  learn. 

As  an  administrator  he  decides  departmental 
policy.  Charting  class  hours,  scheduling  professors, 
and  ordering  enough  textbooks  are  all  part  of  his  job. 

In  the  role  of  psychologist  he  becomes  both  coun- 
selor and  peacemaker.  He  maintains  a  harmonious 
staff  by  soothing  ruffled  feelings.  And  he  counsels 
confused  students  wisely,  helping  them  to  iron  out 
their  many  problems.

The  campus  erupted,  and  out  of  the  huge  cavity  created  by  bulldozers,  steam  shovels 
and  working  crews  appeared  the  steel  and  stone  shoots  of  KSU's  new  $2,000,000  women's 
dormitory.  Fourth  and  largest  on  Kent  State's  roster  of  coed's  residences,  the  building  was 
begun  during  the  first  week  of  Fall  quarter,  1953,  and  is  slated  for  completion  on  Sep- 
tember 1,  1954. 

The  three-story  brick  building  is  being  constructed  in  an  "X"  shape  so  that  two  of  the 
four  wings  will  angle  toward  Terrace  Drive.  Plans  for  the  dormitory  show,  in  addition  to 
the  sleeping  rooms  which  will  each  house  two  coeds,  two  recreation  rooms  and  two  dining 
rooms  with  a  central  kitchen.  A  food  warehouse  and  a  bakeshop  to  service  the  entire 
University  are  also  in  the  blueprints. 

Designed  to  house  500  women,  the  building  will  have  quarters  for  two  head  resident 
counselors,  with  special  accommodations  for  four  graduate  assistants  and  six  guests. 
Main  entrance  to  the  fireproof  structure  will  face  west  on  Terrace  Drive  at  the  corner  of 
East  Main  St.  Construction  of  the  sleek  modern  building  is  the  initial  step  in  a  program 
aimed  at  relieving  the  urgent  student  housing  shortage  at  Kent  State. 

President  George  A.  Bowman  points  out  that  the  project  represents  merely  the  first 
step  in  a  long  range  program  being  undertaken  to  meet  the  increasing  demand  that  is 
inevitable  for  colleges  during  the  next  ten  years.

STOPHER    HALL,    perched    on    a    rise    above    the    Commons,    is     built     in     an       L       shape,     and     accommodates     275     men. 


LIVING  ROOM  of  the  University,  the  Union  is  a  center  of  almost  constant  activity. 


ENGLEMAN    HALL,    connected    by    a    covered    possagev^oy    to  the   Union,    is  a   second   home  to    200    upperclass  v^omen.

THE  CLASSIC  STONE  pillars  of  Merrill  Hall  echo 
from  within  its  walls  the  lonely  wail  of  a  music 
student's  horn,  the  beat  of  the  journalism  tele- 
type,    and     the     crescendo     of    the    choir     practicing. 


KENT  HALL,  ONE  of  the  University's  first  permanent  build- 
ings, is  still  one  of  its  most  used.  In  addition  to  class- 
rooms, the  three-story  brick  structure  contains  the  home 
economics  rooms.  Studio  Theatre,  radio  station  WKSU, 
photography  labs,  psychology  clinic,  and  guidance  testing. 


BEHIND  THE  IMPRESSIVE  stone  exterior  of  the  Administra- 
tion Building  may  be  found  the  many  executive  offices 
which  keep  Kent  State  moving  ahead.  Located  here  also  Is 
Wills  Gymnasium  and  the  ever-popular  Atrium  meeting  place.

HIGHER  UP  ON  the  hill  is 
Lowry  Hall,  whose  residents 
are  nearly  all  Sophomores. 
Located  at  either  side  of 
the  building's  main  entrance 
is    one    of    its    two    cafeterias. 


BUILT    WITH     ENTRANCES     on     three     different    ground     levels,     McGilvrey     houses    the    science     labs    and    classrooms.

SOON  TO  BE  replaced  by  a  new  University 
Training  School,  the  present  laboratory 
building  for  students  majoring  in  education 
will  be  turned  into  a  classroom  hall.  Its 
facilities  will  replace  those  of  the  tem- 
porary    buildings     on     the     back     campus. 


FROM  ITS  lofty  position  high  up  on 
the  hill,  the  University  Health  Center, 
rated  as  a  45-bed  hospital,  looks 
down  upon  the  campus.  The  mo- 
dern three-story  structure  has  a  full- 
time    staff    of    doctors    and    nurses. 


At  Kent  State  University 

Students  Learn  to  Live  and  to  Make  a  Living 

From  his  first  experiences  in  the  classroom  as  a  Freshman  to  the  day,  four  years 
later,  when  he  is  awarded  the  long-sought  sheepskin,  a  Kent  State  University  student  is 
learning  to  live  and  to  make  a  living. 

By  taking  various  courses  offered  by  the  University's  31  departments  of  study,  the 
student  becomes  a  college  graduate  well-trained  to  make  his  own  way  in  the  business 
world.  Ranging  from  accounting  to  speech,  library  science  to  special  education,  the  de- 
partments are  staffed  by  men  and  women  who  have  the  latest  facts  and  equipment  at  their 
disposal  to  give  the  student  a  thorough  education  in  his  chosen  field.  Both  laboratory 
and  lecture  courses  play  important  roles  in  the  University's  program  to  graduate  alert  and 
int3lligent  citizens. 

Perhaps  the  most  difficult  and  yet  most  important  of  all  college  courses  is  the  unas- 
signed  and  ungraded  one  which  is  a  requirement  for  success.  It  is  learning  to  get  along 
with  people.  Constant  association  with  those  from  varying  backgrounds  in  the  classroom, 
dormitory  and  general  campus  life  disciplines  the  student  for  post-school  living.  Differ- 
ing from  most  other  University  courses,  this  one  is  not  taken  for  only  one  or  two  quarters. 
It  is  a  four-year  long  program  of  maturing. 


23 


INDUSTRIAL  ARTS  STUDENTS 
spend  a  great  deal  of  their 
class  time  learning  to  op- 
erate the  power  tools  nec- 
essary to  produce  workshop 
projects  that  are  well  made. 


THE    SCHOOL    OF    Journalism's    new    typography    course 
room     is     located     in     the     University     Training     School. 


TELEVISION    PROGRAMS    are    tape-recorded    by    library 
science     students     for     future     use     by     other     classes.

NOT  AS  INTERESTING  pic-

as  important  in  a  well-bal-

GIVING  IQ  TESTS  is  part  of  the  Psychology  clinic's  service  to  both  students  and  community  residents. 

Service  Keynotes  Work  of  Clinics 


Human  beings  often  need  the  help  of  others. 
This  is  proved  daily  in  the  work  of  the  Univer- 
sity's clinics  with  both  students  and  community 
residents. 

Equipped  with  treatment,  observation,  consul- 
tation and  waiting  rooms,  the  clinics  are  staffed 
by  trained  experts  who  are  assisted  by  young  men 
and  women  studying  to  enter  the  specific  field. 

One  of  17  clinics  in  the  United  States  equipped 
to  conduct  a  new  type  of  hearing  exam  which 
measures  the  skin  resistance,  the  Speech  and 
Hearing  clinic  can  now  test  children  as  young  as 
one  year  old.  Among  the  clinic's  other  projects  is 
the  Lost  Cord  club,  members  of  which  have  had 
their  larynx  removed  due  to  cancer.  A  program 
of  self-help  and  mutual  aid  characterizes  this  part 
of  the  clinic's  work. 

Schools,  organizations  and  University  classes 
are  among  the  groups  which  benefit  from  the 
work  of  the  Audio-Visual  Aids  department.   With 


its  modern  equipment  for  recording  radio  and 
television  programs,  the  bureau  has  built  up  a 
considerable  library  of  worthwhile  broadcasts  to 
be  lent  out.  AVA  is  also  responsible  for  supplying 
films  to  the  various  groups  and  classes  using  them 
in  their  work. 

Directed  by  Dr.  Dwight  Arnold,  the  Guidance 
Testing  bureau  offers  examinations  to  determine 
interest,  aptitude  and  achievement.  Although  the 
department  is  maintained  primarily  for  Kent 
State  students,  its  services  are  often  extended  to 
high  schools  of  the  area  by  special  arrangement. 

Another  University  service  is  the  Psychology 
clinic,  begun  in  1947  as  a  guidance  clinic  for  Kent 
Staters.  It  has  now  expanded  to  include  voca- 
tional and  personality  adjustment  counseling,  and 
intelligence  and  personality  testing  for  outsiders 
as  well.  No  problem  is  too  big  or  too  small  to 
warrant  aid  from  the  staff  which  is  trained  to  help 
the  maladjusted  become  happier  people. 


28 


IN  ADDITION  to  the  reg- 
ular series  of  tests  usually 
offered  by  guidance  test- 
ing bureaus,  KSU'S  de- 
partment has  a  complete 
occupations  file  with 
more  than  400  pamph- 
lets    available     for     use. 


JOHN  R.  MONTGOMERY, 
director  of  the  Speech  and 
Hearing  clinic,  assists  Clay 
Culbertson  as  LaDonna

The  Year 


Unlike  the  rest  of  the  world,  colleges  and 
universities  begin  their  year  in  the  Au- 
tumn. 

When  brightly  colored  leaves  masked  the 
green  campus,  more  than  5000  men  and 
women  from  all  parts  of  the  United  States 
and  from  several  foreign  countries  passed 
through  the  gateway  of  the  University 
to  begin  school  year  1953-54. 

Tne  leaves  faded  into  drabness  as  the 
first  snows  covered  the  ground.  The  first 
excitement  of  being  back  dimmed  as  the 
year  progressed  to  a  routine  of  classes, 
study  and  work.  Highlighting  the  evenings 
and  the  weekends  was  the  glitter  of  stu- 
dent life  .  .  .  dances,  plays,  parties  and  ath- 
letic events.  Less  brilliant,  perhaps,  but 
never  to  be  forgotten  were  the  smaller  oc- 
currences that  sparked  campus  life  .  .  .  the 
dormitory  bull  sessions,  the  minutes  that 
accumulated  quickly  into  hours  of  hub-sit- 
ting, the  outstanding  speakers  or  spontan- 
eous celebrations  at  the  week's  end. 

And  in  the  background  was  the  vital 
series  of  global  events  that  kept  Kent 
Staters  wondering  about  this  business  of 
living.  The  reverberations  of  a  mixed-up 
world  crept  into  the  gayest  party  when 
conversation  shifted  inevitably  to  the  latest 
news  events. 

It  will  be  a  year  remembered  by  the  his- 
torians who  record  the  end  of  the  Korean 
war,  the  battle  against  Communism  and 
high  taxes;  by  the  sciences  which  will  go 
on  from  discoveries  made  in  medicine, 
physics  and  chemistry;  by  a  past  genera- 
tion' who  will  recall  it  as  the  year  in 
which  they  saw  the  culmination  of  hopes 
and  fears;  by  college  students,  who  watch- 
ed it  and  wondered  what  it  would  mean  to 
them  and  for  them  in  future  years.

More  than  500  cadets  representing  13  colleges  and 
universities  took  part  in  the  two-day  meet.  As  a  special 
feature,  the  Civil  War  was  refought  when  the  musket

rebels  in  the  mock  battle.

"Hurray,  hurray"  cries  of  barkers  blended  with  the  noise,  con- 
fusion and  smell  of  popcorn  that  invaded  the  Wills  Tennis  courts 
May  2,  when  Penny  Carnival  took  over  for  a  one-night  stand. 

Lining  the  midway  were  more  than  25  booths  and  concession 
stands,  operated  by  campus  organizations  for  the  Stater  Penny 
Fund.  The  fund,  designed  to  supply  servicemen  overseas  with  copies 
of  the  Kent  Stater,  was  $706  ahead  when  the  last  lights  blinked 
out  at  midnight. 

A  slave  market,  fortune  teller,  games  of  skill  and  chance,  plus 
a  miniature  golf  course  were  included  in  the  huge  variety  of 
Carnival  crowd-attracters.  The  crash  of  breaking  glass,  the  swoosh 
of  a  pail  of  water,  and  the  clink  of  coins  were  evidence  of  successes 
by  the  vendors  and  customers  alike. 

Top  money  getters  were  Gamma  Phi  Beta  sorority,  the  American 
Commons  Club,  and  Alpha  Tau  Omega  fraternity.  Runners  up  in 
the  three  divisions  were  Delta  Zeta,  Moulton  Hall  and  Delta  Upsilon.

Campus  Day  Festivities 
Are  Quarter's  Highlight 

The  usual  5  a.m.  quiet  in  Kent  was  shattered  May 
23  by  pounding  hammers,  banging  doors,  and  the  not- 
quite  awake  voices  of  Kent  State  University  students 
as  they  began  the  biggest  24  hours  on  the  KSU  social 
calendar. 

It  was  Campus  Day  at  Kent  State.  The  dawn 
breakers  annually  conclude  months  of  preparation  to 
make  sure  it  will  be  "the  biggest  Campus  Day  ever." 

And  it  was. 

Delta  Upsilon  fraternity's  "K"-Girl  traditionally 
cuts  the  tape  on  festivities  when  she  dabs  white  paint 
on  the  huge  stone  "K"  embedded  in  the  slope  behind 
the  library.  At  noon,  following  a  processional  along 
the  gravel  path  that  winds  to  the  front  campus,  Peg 
Sidley  was  crowned  May  Queen. 

Late  in  the  afternoon,  Songfest  invaded  the  slope 
before  the  Administration  Building.  Delta  Tau  Delta 
and  Delta  Upsilon  topped  the  fraternity  competition 
in  an  unprecedented  tie,  while  Chi  Omega  took  vocal- 
izing honors  among  sororities.  When  the  last  song 
leader  had  waved  his  group  to  a  crescendo,  the  cam- 
pus became  a  silent  shell.  It  teemed  again  at  9  p.m. 
for  an  all  University  dance,  the  clima.x  to  Campus 
Day.

Kent  Staters  on  Memorial  Day  when  KSU's  annual

Brady  Lake. 

Substituting  fiat  bottomed  skiffs  for  the  pol- 
ished keels  of  the  Hudson,  Rowboat  Regatta  had 
pretties  parading,  rowers  racing  and  muscles  mov- 
ing before  it  became  another  page  of  University 
history. 

Brunette  Sue  Tarbert,  sponsored  by  Sigma  Nu 
fraternity,  was  selected  from  a  field  of  eight  final- 
ists to  reign  as  Regatta  queen. 

Sigma  Phi  Epsilon  fraternity,  with  Newman 
Club,  and  Twin  Lakes  rowed  their  ways  to  top 
places  in  the  first  three  competitive  divisions,  while 
Delta  Zeta  outdistanced  Chi  Omega  in  a  run-off 
for  sorority  honors. 

It  was  the  first  year  that  Phi  Gamma  Theta 
opened  its  tug-of-war  to  coeds.  Chi  Omega  mem- 
bers heaved  their  sorority  to  trophy  ground  by 
treating  opposing  women's  groups  to  free  mud 
packs  during  the  battle.  The  Delta  Tau  Delta  tug 
team  won  the  fraternity  cup  for  the  third  con- 
secutive year. 

Sponsored  by  the  Kent  Stater,  Regatta  rang 
down  the  curtain  on  Spring  quarter  all-University

Degrees  Awarded  to  675  As  Fortieth  Year  Closes 


i«,jn 


Kent  State  University  ended  its 
40th  academic  year  on  June  13  with 
the  granting  of  degrees  to  675  men 
and  women. 

Speaker  for  the  Commencement 
ceremonies  was  Dr.  Nicholas  Niardi, 
former  Hungarian  Minister  of  Fi- 
nance. Following  Dr.  Niardi's  talk, 
Dr.  George  Bowman,  president  of 
Kent  State,  awarded  degrees  to  190 
Liberal  Arts  graduates,  205  Education 
students,  191  Business  Administration 
Seniors,  and  89  graduate  students. 

Along  with  college  graduates  all 
over  the  world,  KSU's  Class  of  1953 
was  exchanging  the  familiar  faces  and 
places  for  entirely  new  surroundings 
and  experiences.

SOME  OF   THE   routine   plays   that   occur   in    nearly   every 
baseball    game    are    recorded    by    the    cameraman    as    a 


player   slides   across   home   plate,   a   first   baseman    makes 
a   putout  and  the  next  batter  takes   his  cut   at  the   ball. 


Close  Margins  Bring  Losing  Season 


Playing  one  of  the  toughest  schedules  in  Kent 
State  history,  Matt  Resick's  baseball  squad  turned 
in  a  creditable  season  record  of  seven  victories 
against  nine  defeats.  Four  of  these  setbacks  were 
by  one-run  margins. 

The  Golden  Flashes  opened  their  season  with 
a  double  victory  over  Potomac  State  College,  and 
then  dropped  three  consecutive  heartbreakers  to 
Toledo,  Ashland,  and  Western  Reserve.  After 
knocking  out  Mount  Union's  squad,  Resick's  nine 
upset  highly  touted  Cincinnati  twice  by  decisive 


margms. 

A  split  with  Marshall  College  in  a  twin  bill  was 
then  followed  by  double  setbacks  at  the  hands  of 
Ohio  University  and  Western  Michigan,  top  teams 
in  the  Mid-American  Conference. 

Akron  University  blanked  the  Golden  Flash 
nine  1-0  in  one  of  the  best  contests  of  the  ball 
season.  Kent  finished  off  their  campaign  by  beat- 
ing Bowling  Green.  KSU's  record  put  them  in 
fourth  place  when  Mid-American  standings  were 
tallied.

Although  the  Kent  State  tennis  team  won 
only  one  of  the  seven  matches.  Coach  Karl 
Chesnutt  was  pleased  with  the  brand  of  tennis 
played  by  his  boys,  particularly  in  view  of  the 
overall  inexperience  with  which  the  netters 
started  off  the  1953  season. 

Only  Tom  Meinhaidt  and  Art  DeGenaro, 
numbers  one  and  two  men  respectively,  had 
suitable  background  experience  for  the  type  of 
schedule  played  by  Kent  State  netters. 

The  team  defeated  Fenn  College,  but  lost 
matches  to  Ohio  U.,  Western  Reserve,  Bowling 
Green,  Wayne,  and  twice  to  Akron  U.  They  tied 
for  the  last  place  in  the  Mid-American  Spring 
sports  carnival  at  Western  Michigan  College. 

The  Golden  Flashes  played  a  number  of  ex- 
cellent matches  throughout  the  season,  but  their 
more  experienced  opponents  eventually  wore 
down  Kent's  competitors. 

Chesnutt  will  have  his  three  top  performers 
back  for  the  1954  campaign  in  addition  to  several 
promising  newcomers  to  the  varsity.  The  "Big 
Three"  of  the  veterans  are  Meinhardt,  DeGenaro 
and  Harris  Brown.  The  latter  developed  rapidly 
during  the  "53  tennis  campaign.

^Weeping''  Coach  Begala  Had  Reasons  To  Weep 


KENT'S  HAL  MAYHEW,  behind,  and  Bill  Hall  execute 
perfect  timing  as  they  exchange  the  baton  in  a  relay 
race  against  Akron  University.  The  final  dual  track 
meet  of  the  season  ended  with  Akron  thinclads  out- 
distancing the  Flashes  by  a  66-2/3  to  60-1/3  margin. 


"Weeping"  Joe  Begala  certainly  had  grounds 
to  shed  tears  when  he  was  greeted  by  a  small 
turnout  of  inexperienced  track  men  last  Spring. 

Before  the  season  got  started,  Begala  made 
the  remark  that  he  would  be  lucky  to  win  a  meet. 
But  his  men  tried  hard,  learned  well,  and  man- 
aged to  win  two  of  seven  dual  meets.  They 
defeated  John  Carroll  in  the  season  opener,  then 
lost  to  Bowling  Green,  and  Baldwin  Wallace 
College. 

The  Golden  Flashes  trimmed  Case  Tech,  but 
lost  the  final  three  meets  to  Western  Reserve, 
Ohio  U.,  and  Akron  University. 

Participating  in  the  Mid-American  Confer- 
ence Spring  Sports  carnival  at  Kalamazoo, 
Kent's  thin-clads  finished  in  sixth  place.  Don 
Phelps  won  the  only  individual  honors  when  he 
placed  third  in  the  pole  vault  competitions. 

Captain  Bob  Hall,  a  distance  runner,  and 
hurdler  Hal  Mayhew,  pole  vaulter  Bob  Phelps 
and  sprinter  Dick  Bartfay  were  consistent  point 
getters  all  year.    Only  Hall  was  graduated. 

Thus,  Begala  plans  to  center  his  1954  team 
around  these  boys  in  an  effort  to  improve  upon 
Kent  State's  track  fortunes.  His  "greener"  boys 
learned  the  ropes  well,  indicating  that  a  brighter 
outlook  is  in  store  for  the  Flashes. 


POLE  VAULTER  BOB  Phelps  appears  to  be 
dangling  in  mid  air  as  he  scales  the  highest 
bar  to  win  top  honors  in  a  meet  against 
Case  Tech.    Kent  trackmen  won  the  contest.

6000  Brave  Homecoming  Day  Drizzle 

Along  with  a  cold  drizzling  rain,  4000  KSU  alumni  arrived  on  campus  early  October  24 
to  join  2000  undergraduates  in  the  University's  21st  annual  Homecoming  celebration. 

Providing  bright  splotches  of  color  against  a  gloomy  landscape  were  lavish  displays, 
the  creations  of  fraternities,  sororities,  clubs  and  dormitories  to  decorate  their  front  lawns. 
Dwarfing  those  produced  in  former  years  both  in  size  and  ingenuity,  the  house  decorations 
included  gigantic  mechanically  operated  figures,  set  off  by  towering  back  drops.  By  game 
time  these  once  impressive  displays  had  shriveled  to  rain-soaked  masses  of  paper  mache 
and  crepe  paper. 

Another  bright  spot  in  the  dismal  weathered  day  was  the  Golden  Flashes  27  to  7  defeat 
of  an  invading  Marshall  College  grid  squad.  Seeking  shelter  under  blankets,  umbrellas  and 
newspapers,  the  stadium  crowd  saw  Ann  Meinzen,  blond  Canton  Junior,  crowned  Home- 
coming queen  for  1953  by  the  University  social  chairman,  Roy  Berko. 

Dry  once  again.  Homecoming  celebrators  shed  their  rainproof  attire  for  more  festive 
apparel  before  flocking  to  the  dance  in  the  MPE  gym.  Claude  Thornhill's  orchestra  with 
vocalist,  Paula  Martin,  made  music  for  the  thousands  of  dancing  couples  that  crammed  the 
gymnasium  floor. 

Queen  Ann,  with  her  two  attendants,  Marilyn  Kapcar  and  Gloria  Ranalli,  was  intro- 
duced during  intermission.  The  music  stopped.  The  din  of  the  dancing  crowd  ceased  while 
she  handed  out  the  trophies  for  top-ranking  house  decorations.  The  short  silence  was  rent 
with  cheers,  shrieks  and  applause  as  representatives  of  the  winning  organizations  leaped  up 
to  the  band  stand  to  grasp  the  rewards  for  long  hours  of  planning  and  work. 

When  the  last  light  blinked  out  on  Homecoming,  1953,  the  day  became  a  wet  but 
wonderful  event  to  be  remembered  by  alums  and  undergraduates  alike.

WHILE  THE  COACHES  advised  their  players  on  strategy 
for  the  second  half,  KSU's  famous  Twin  Marching  Bands 
entertained  the  stadium  Homecoming  crowd  with  a  color-

Homecoming 


IT  WAS  Claude  Thornhill  and  his 
musicmokers  who  played  for  the  Home- 
coming dance  in  the  MPE  building.  A 
capacity  crowd  of  alumni  and  students 
jammed   the   huge   floor  for   the   dance. 


WHILE  MOST  danced,  some  of  the  Homecoming  cele- 
brators  just  came  to  listen  and  watch  the  final 
events  of  the  1953  festivities.  The  gymnasium  bal- 
cony crowd  had  a  bird's-eye  view  of  dancers  and  band. 


AT  INTERMISSION,  Queen  Ann  Meinzen  and  her  at- 
tendants, Marilyn  Kapcar  and  Gloria  Ranalli,  were 
presented.  Awards  for  winning  house  decoration  went 
to   the   four   top    Greek    and    independent   organizations. 


<5 


THE  BUNNY  HOP  made  its  initial  appearance  at  All-Greek  when  the  long  line 
of  couples  began  to  tap  out  its  informal  beat.  Held  again  this  year  in  Meyers 
Lake  Ballroom,  the  Ail-Greek  was  the  first  strictly-formal  event  of  the  season. 
All     active     members     of     fraternities     and     sororities     were     guests     of    Alpha     Phi. 


Alpha  Phi  Is  Host  For  All -Greek 


The  constant  competition  between  Greek  organizations  was  temporarily 
pushed  into  the  background  on  December  4  when  members  of  KSU's  21 
fraternities  and  sororities  donned  the  latest  in  formal  attire  to  be  guests  of 
Alpha  Phi  at  the  annual  All-Greek. 

Brightly-hued  banners  bearing  the  Greek  letters  and  crests  of  each 
organization  dotted  the  dimly-lit  circle  of  tables  at  Meyers  Lake  Ballroom  in 
Canton  for  the  dance.  The  polished  floor  reflected  a  rainbow  of  frothy  gowns 
against  the  somberness  of  the  men's  tuxedos  as  the  crowd  swayed  to  the 
music  of  Charlie  Pickens  and  his  orchestra. 

At  intermission,  only  the  bubbling  of  the  colorful  fountain  at  one  end 
of  the  huge  dance  floor  broke  the  silence  as  Alpha  Phi  sorority  presented 
its  Fall  pledge  class.  Each  debuting  coed  walked  across  the  long  floor, 
received  a  single  red  rose  from  Phi  social  chairman  Mary  Lou  Hartle,  then 
stepped  into  the  semi-circle  formed  by  her  sisters. 

After  a  serenade  by  Sigma  Nu,  the  sorority's  brother  fraternity,  the 
dancing  continued  until  1  a.m.  Then,  with  a  flurry  of  evening  wraps, 
topcoats  and  shouted  good  nights,  the  crowd  departed. 


66 


SOMBER   TUXEDOS    were   a    perfect    background    for   the    rain- 
bow  of   frothy   gowns   that   was   reflected   on    the   dance   floor. 


THE    GALS    get    together    for    a    chat    while 
sitting  out  a   dance   at  the  annual  All-Greek. 


BLENDING  THEIR   VOICES    in  song,  Alpha  Phi's  entertained  their  guests  with   a   traditional   serenade  to  the  new  pledges.

Four  Army  Minutes, 
Sawchik  Got  In  Way 

It  was  the  annual  football  banquet  in  the  Union, 
honoring  the  1953  Golden  Flash  football  team. 
Coach  Trevor  J.  Rees  was  called  upon  to  address 
those  in  attendance.  Rees  congratulated  his 
players,  assistant  coaches  and  all  others  who 
helped  make  the  season  the  most  successful  since 
he  has  been  at  Kent  State.  At  the  conclusion  of 
his  talk  Rees  said;  "Only  four  Army  minutes  and 
Sawchik  prevented  us  from  having  an  undefeated 
season."  He  was  referring  to  Fort  Belvoir  and 
Lou  Sawchik,  Ohio  University  end.  Belvoir  edged 
the  Golden  Flashes  7-6  by  scoring  a  touchdown  and 
converting  the  extra  point  with  less  than  four 
minutes  remaining  in  the  game.  Sawchik  made 
a  number  of  spectaculer  and  key  catches  which  en- 
abled Ohio  U  to  come  from  behind  and  defeat  Kent 
40-21.  It  was  Kent's  only  Mid-American  Confer- 
ence setback  in  four  games  while  the  season  rec- 
ord stood  at  seven  victories  in  nine  games.  The 
Golden  Flashes  opened  with  a  20-10  victory  over 
Waynesburg,  then  lost  to  Fort  Belvoir.  Western 
Reserve  was  a  27-0  victim  and  Baldwin-Wallace 
fell  14-13  in  a  thriller.  After  the  Golden  Flashes 
lost  to  Ohio  U,  they  finished  strongly  with  four 
straight  victories  over  Marshall  27-7,  Bowling 
Green  41-7,  Akron  54-19  and  Western  Michigan 
40-0.  The  team  wrote  several  new  records  into  the 
books  by  gaining  2852  yards  rushing  and  3419  yards 
net,  and  also  set  a  new  scoring  mark  of  250  points.

FUMBLES      SUCH      as      this      were      quite  frequent      as 

Kent    State    and    Marshall     battled     on     a  muddy    field 

at     Memorial      Stadium.       It     was      KSU's  Homecoming, 

and     the     Flashes     came    through     with     a  27-7    victory.

KSU  vs  Ohio  U

ing as  an  Ohio  U  tackle  closes  in 
upon  him.  It  was  OU's  homecoming 
and  the  Bobcats  celebrated  with  a 
40-21  victory.  Kent  scored  first 
but  Ohio  rebounded  to  hand  the  Gol- 
den Flashes  their  only  Mid-American 
Conference    setback    of    the    season. 


KSU  vs  Marshall 

LOU  MARIANO,  scat  Kent  fullback,

so  he  scoots  over  two  Marshall  hus- 
kies. Kent  defeated  the  Big  Green 
27-7  to  atone  for  the  poor  weather 
which  spoiled  most  of  KSU's  home- 
coming. The  victory  started  the 
Golden  Flashes  on  their  way  to  a 
four  game  season  ending  win  streak.

Backslaps,  Headaches — He^s  A  Coach 


It  is  the  player  who  takes  the  lumps  and  bruises  in  this  game  of  football,  but  it  is 
the  coach  who  receives  all  the  headaches.  For  every  hour  the  players  spend  on  the  field, 
the  coach  is  spending  many  more  not  only  on  the  field,  but  also  in  his  office,  in  his  study 
at  home,  at  conferences  and  in  the  movie  projecting  room.  Regardless  of  the  player's 
ability,  the  coach  must  first  set  up  the  program  and  mastermind  the  show.  He  is  a 
teacher  and  a  learner.  He  teaches  the  players  his  offense  and  defense,  and  learns  by 
correcting  the  things  which  fail  to  pan  out  as  he  had  planned.  It  is  the  coach  who  receives 
the  ultimate  glory  of  a  successful  football  game,  but  it  is  also  he  who  takes  the  brunt  of 
criticism  from  the  spectator,  newsman  and  downtown  quarterback  when  his  boys  lose  a 
ball  game.  But  coaching  a  football  team  is  far  from  a  one-man  performance.  The  head 
man  needs  assistance,  and  modern  football  calls  for  plenty  of  it  in  order  to  keep  up  with 
the  game.  Working  for  Kent  State  as  the  "team"  that  guided  a  team  to  a  brilliant  season 
were  Trevor  J.  Rees,  head  coach  and  athletic  director;  Frank  X.  Lauterbur,  line  coach; 
Clarence  R.  Haerr,  backfield;  Donald  McCafferty,  ends;  and  Richard  Kotis  and  Richard 
Paskert,  Freshman  coaches.    Kent  State  salutes  youl

Nine  Gridders  Win  Honors 

Every  football  coach  will  agree  that  team  cooperation  rather 
than  individual  performance  makes  a  great  football  team.  But 
Kent  State  ignored  this  theory  during  the  1952  season  by  dis- 
playing both  on  the  gridiron.  As  the  Golden  Flashes  were  re- 
writing the  record  books  with  their  team  performance,  nine 
players  were  operating  so  well  at  their  respective  positions 
that  they  were  awarded  places  on  all-Ohio  and  all-Mid- 
American  Conference  teams  at  the  conclusion  of  the  season. 
Receiving  top  honors  were  Fullback  Jim  Cullom  and  Tackle 
Al  Kilgore,  three-year  varsity  veterans  who  were  named  to  first 
teams  of  both  conference  and  all-state  selections.  Cullom  holds 
the  school's  all-time  rushing  record  of  822  yards,  set  in  1952. 
Captain  Dick  Raidel  received  second  team  conference  honors 
and  all-Ohio  mention  as  a  tackle.  Fullback  Lou  Mariano  also 
was  recognized  on  the  M-A's  second  team.  End  Sonji  Herz- 
berg,  Guard  Dick  Tate  and  Halfback  Mike  Norcia  were  given 
honorable  mention  on  both  squads.  End  Joe  Barbee  and  Center 
Nunzio    Polichene    received    conference    honorable    mention.

Winter 


BEAUTIFUL     BUT     COLD     Winter     weather     had     some     Kent 
Staters  wondering  if  Miami  weatherman  were  being  honest. 


THE    GROUND    crews    worked    double    time    to    keep 
snowy    walks    from    becoming    slippery    danger    spots.

WHO   COULD   avoid    the   temptation    of   a    good 
fashioned      snowball      fight?       Not      these      two! 


HOT    COFFEE    at    the    Hub     became    even     more    popular 
with      cold      Kentonians      who      flocked      to      the      Union.

KNEE      SOX     versus     the     traditional      bobbies     was 
the     debate     for    cold     but    fashion-conscious     coeds. 


A    MOST    EXACTING    ARTIST,    the    heavy    snows    of    Winter 
transformed   the   campus   into   a   sparkling   white   landscape. 


ON  COLD  evenings,  the  gang 
was  content  to  stay  at  home 
in  front  of  the  fireplace  in- 
stead of  venturing  out  Into 
the    violent    blasts    of    Winter.

NOTED  PERFORMERS  appearing 
in  Akron  clubs  were  booked  by 
the  Union  staff  to  present  a 
series  of  programs  at  KSU.  The 
Lancers  Quartet  (left)  were 
the  first  recording  stars  to 
perform      during      the      series. 


RELIGIOUS     GROUPS    on     campus    worked     together    to 
sponsor   KSU's  third    Religious   Emphasis  Week    program. 


SAE    DEAN    Boose,    who    won    the    fund-raising    Duke    of

ances     at      many      universities. 


ONE   OF   AMERICA'S   outstanding    public   figures,   Mrs.    Eleanor  Roosevelt  told    her   Kent   State  audience  that   cooperation 
between    nations  is   dependent  on   respect  and    understanding  among  individuals  of  those  countries. 


Guests,  Programs  Make 
Outstanding  Term 


An  interesting  and  varied  series  of  minor  events 
kept  Winter  quarter  from  becoming  what  is  usu- 
ally   KSU's   dullest    three    months,    activity-wise. 

Among  the  prominent  guests  brought  to  the 
campus  was  Mrs.  Eleanor  Roosevelt,  who  lectured 
to  an  overflow  audience  in  the  MPE  auditorium. 
Other  outstanding  visitors  included  Joseph  Szigiti, 
the     violinist;     the    Sauter-Finegan     band,     with 


Vaughn  Monroe;  and  the  Lancers  Quartet. 

On  a  local  level,  the  quarter  was  dotted  with 
the  traditional  activities  of  Religious  Emphasis 
Week,  the  Duke  of  Kent  contest,  and  the  Faculty 
Art  show.  With  the  campaign  for  Miss  Kent  State 
came  an  avalanche  of  publicity  in  the  form  of 
posters,  tags,  serenades  by  sponsoring  sororities, 
slogan-bearing  cigarettes  and  lollipops. 


JOSEPH  SZIGITI,  noted  Hungarian  violinist,  performed 
at  KSU.  His  violin,  dated  1701,  is  one  of  the  most 
famous     instruments     created     by     Gaurnerius     of     Italy. 


UNVEILING  THE  work  of  the  art  department  staff, 
the  annual  Faculty  Art  show  featured  weaving,  jewel- 
ry   design,    and    photography    in    addition    to    paintings.

Sauter-Finegan  aggregation  with 
Vaughn  Monroe,  the  Doodlers, 
Sally  Sweetland  and  Andy  Rob- 
erts   on    the    vocal     numbers. 


REPLACING    THE    defunct   Top    Hop,    the    Souter-Finegan    concert   turned    out 
to  be  three  and  a  half  hours  of  the  tops  in   modern    musical   entertainment.

Sauter-Finegan  Concert 
Wows  2500  Kent  Staters 


Wills  Gym  took  a  "new  direction  in  music"  on  Feb. 
17  when  the  Sauter-Finegan  aggregation  moved  in  to 
present  a  concert,  later  dubbed  "the  greatest"  by  more 
than  2500  Kent  Staters  who  romped  and  stomped 
during  its  three  and  one  half  hour  duration. 

Aided  and  abetted  by  Vaughn  Monroe,  Sally  Sweet- 
land  and  Andy  Roberts  on  the  vocals,  Messrs.  Sauter 
and  Finegan  put  the  skids  on  the  theory  held  by  some 
that  modern  music  is  going  to  the  dogs.  What  was  sup- 
posed to  have  been  a  half-hour  radio  show  followed  by 
a  two-hour  concert  ended  up  as  one  of  the  best  pro- 
grams to  hit  KSU  in  years. 

Scheduled  by  the  University  Social  committee  as  a 
substitute  for  the  defunct  Top  Hop,  the  show  was  one 
of  the  series  of  Sauter-Finegan  programs  taped  at  col- 
leges and  universities  for  later  broadcast  over  a  na- 
tional network.  Saluting  Kent  State  as  one  of  Ohio's 
leading  universities,  the  program  featured  a  special 
arrangement  of  the  KSU  Alma  Mater  and  fight  song. 

Marcia  Hill,  21-year-old  speech  major  from  Dayton, 
was  crowned  Miss  Kent  State  during  the  evening,  after 
winning  one  of  the  closest  elections  in  recent  years. 


SURROUNDED    BY    his    admirers,    Vaughn    Monroe 
signs  autographs  after  the   Sauter-Finegan   concert. 


DURING  THE  broadcast  portion  of  the  evening,  CBS 
engineers    set    up    equipment    to    tape    the    show.

Legs,  Laughter,  Lights 
Mark  Pork  Barrel  Show 

Sparkling  with  legs,  laughter  and  slapstick 
comedy,  Pork  Barrel  rolled  onstage  before  a  capa- 
city audience  in  the  KSU  auditorium.  A  total  of 
26  organizations  entered  skits  in  the  variety  show. 

Alpha  Xi  Delta  topped  the  eight  sorority  en- 
tries which  faced  the  footlights  on  opening  night. 
Engleman  Hall's  "They  Died  With  Their  Bucks 
On,"  copped  first  place  among  independent  wom- 
en's skits,  while  Stopher  Hall,  participating  in  the 
independent  men  and  coed  division,  garnered  top 
honors  with  "Snow-Use." 

Chalking  up  its  second  consecutive  Pork  Barrel 
win,  Delta  Upsilon  outdistanced  11  other  fraterni- 
ties with  a  riotous  take-off  on  "The  Red  Shoes," 
entitled  "The  Chartruse  Sneakers." 

Second  places  went  to  Alpha  Phi  sorority, 
Moulton  Hall,  KSU  Vets,  and  to  a  fraternity  tie 
between  Theta  Chi  and  Sigma  Nu. 


AN    ALMOST    professional    polish    put    Alpha    Xi    Delta's 
minstrel     show     into     the     top     place     winner's     circle. 


IT'S     5NOW-USE     was     the     punch     line     in     Stopher's

in     Delta     Tau     Delta's     third     place     skit,     "Halleluia." 


DAN  MCGREW  got  it  again  during  the  Theta  Kappa  Phi's 
revival    of    the    poem.      The    skit    tied     for    third     place. 


A    SATIRE    on    gymnastic    teams    with    international    par-

congratulations  to  Military  Ball 
royalty.  Penny  Simmons,  Estelle 
Gage  and  Donna  Veon.  Honorary 
Cadet  Colonel  Estelle  and  her 
attendants  were  chosen  by  vote 
of  all   men   enrolled   in  the  ROTC. 


Military  Ball,  1954,  will  long  be  remembered 
in  KSU  annals  as  the  dance  that  almost  wasn't. 
Scheduled  for  March  5,  the  traditional 
ROTC  sponsored  event  was  to  feature  the  music 
of  Louie  Prima.  A  week  before  the  big  night, 
Prima  jumped  his  contract,  throwing  chairmen 
of  the  event  into  a  quandary.    But  the  day  was 


saved  when  Jerry  Wald  and  his  orchestra  were 
contracted  to  replace  Prima. 

Supporting  a  campaign  to  eliminate  the 
secrecy  surrounding  identity  of  most  campus 
queens,  the  cadets  announced  several  days  be- 
fore the  dance  that  Estelle  Gage  had  been 
chosen  honorary  cadet  colonel.

Golden  Flashes  Play  Spoilers  Role 


Don 
Arch 


The  1953-54  Golden  Flash  basketballers 
faced  one  of  the  toughest  schedules  in  the  his- 
tory of  the  University.  Such  noted  quintets  as 
John  Carroll,  Bowling  Green,  Miami,  Toledo, 
Xavier  and  Marshall  got  in  their  punches  at  the 
outmanned  Flash  five.  Although  the  KSU 
cagers  were  not  able  to  turn  in  an  impressive 
record,  the  season  produced  a  number  of 
changes  in  mood. 

Ken  Eshelman's  death  early  in  the  season 
stunned  the  student  body  and  those  interested 
in  the  fortunes  of  KSU.  The  mood  changed, 
however,  when  Bud  Haerr's  lads  upset  such 
highly  rated  teams  as  Carroll,  Marshall  and 
Miami.  The  students  rejoiced  over  the  record- 
breaking  100-79  win  over  Wittenberg.  Then 
came  an  angry  mood  when  several  cagers  were 
ruled  ineligible  because  of  a  hasty  rule  inter- 
pretation. 

Alternating  periods  of  depression  when  the 
team  dropped  close  games  to  teams  that  were 
heavy  favorites  followed.  One  of  the  most 
heartening  moments  of  the  season  came  in  the 
second  Akron  U.  game  when  Dan  Potopsky 
scored  39  points,  establishing  a  new  all-time 
high  for  scoring  in  one  game.  Dan  had  some 
bad  nights  through  the  season  but  in  the  Good- 
year gym  he  proved  the  potential  brought  from 
his  high  school  in  Independence  where  he  was 
an  All-Ohio  player. 

As  Dan  Looks  ahead,  Kyle  Worrall,  Leo  Kolk, 
John  Hamilton  and  John  Pohlod  look  back  on 


their  last  collegiate  basketball  year.  Captain  of 
the  1953-'54  cagers,  Worrall  was  a  consistent 
scorer  and  a  leading  floor  man.  Finishing 
second  in  the  team  scoring  race,  he  was  respon- 
sible for  the  upsets  that  were  achieved  as  he 
led  a  band  of  eager  Sophomores  in  and  out  of 
heated  battles.  Pohlod,  just  returned  to  KSU 
from  a  two-year  term  in  the  Navy,  turned  in  a 
good  job  each  time  he  was  called  on  to  uncork 
his  right  arm.  He  and  Kyle  caused  the  opposi- 
tion many  lapses  in  heart  beat  as  they  banged 
away  their  one-hand  push  shots. 

The  eight-thirteen  record  may  not  show  it, 
but  the  team  made  a  better  showing  than  was 
expected.  Coach  Haerr  is  encouraged  by  the 
manner   in   which   his   Sophomores   performed.

The  ^54  Flashes  Kept  ^em  Guessing 


Dan  Potopsky  paced  Kent  State  in  the  individual  scoring 
department  during  the  '53-'54  basketball  season  by  racking 
up  307  points,  an  average  of  14.6  per  game.  Kyle  Worrall, 
cage  captain,  followed  with  275  points,  for  an  average  of 
13.1.    As  a  team,  the  KSU  men  averaged  69.8  points. 


IT'S     DAN     Potopsky     again,     this     time     driving     through

Versatile  Lou 

Having  established  himself  as  a  star  perfor- 
mer on  the  football  field  last  Fall,  Lou 
Mariano  further  demonstrated  his  athletic 
abilities  as  a  diver  on  Bill  Hoover's  swim- 
ming team.  Although  he  had  not  performed 
from  the  boards  since  his  high  school  days  at 
Canton  McKinley,  Mariano  put  in  long  hours 
of  practice  under  the  guidance  of  his  swim- 
ming mentor.  Lou  showed  signs  of  progress 
at  once,  and  as  the  season  moved  along,  be- 
came quite  skilled,  learning  a  host  of  differ- 
ent dives,  including  the  jack  knife  he  is  dem- 
onstrating at  right.  Kent  State's  top  point 
winners  this  year,  however,  were  Captain 
Bob  Smith  and  Joe  Kempf,  both  free  stylers. 
Bob  hit  the  local  spotlight  when  he  set  the 
100-yard  free  style  record  for  the  MPE  pool. 
He  swam  the  distance  in  55.1  seconds  as  the 
Golden  Flashes  were  losing  a  45-39  meet  to 
Wooster.  Smith  also  holds  the  50-yard  free 
style  record  of  24.2  seconds,  established  last 
season. 

Reconstruction 

Veteran  swimmer  Nick  Bosworth,  right, 
kicks  up  a  splash  as  he  shoves  off  from  the 
starting  line  in  the  individual  medley  event. 
The  opponent  at  the  left  is  unidentified.  A 
graduate  of  Akron  Buchtel  High  school,  Bos- 
worth has  been  one  of  Coach  Hoover's  most 
reliable  men  the  past  three  seasons.  Although 
Kent  State  won  only  three  of  12  dual  meets 
this  year,  Nick  came  through  with  more  than 
his  share  of  points.  Kent  defeated  Witten- 
berg, Cincinnati  and  Fenn  while  losing  to 
Carnegie  Tech  and  Case  Tech  in  the  first  five 
contests.  But  then  the  Golden  Flashes  drop- 
ped seven  in  a  row  to  Slippery  Rock  Teach- 
ers, Miami,  Wooster,  Oberlin,  Bowling  Green, 
Kenyon  and  Ohio  University.  They  were  to 
have  competed  in  the  Mid-American  meet 
after  the  year-book  went  to  press. 

Slumping  Close 

Kent  State's  Bill  Keefe  and  Dave  Hamble-

water  as  they  leap  from  their  starting  posi- 
tions in  the  440-yard  free  style  event  against 
Wooster  College  in  the  MPE  pool.  Although 
this  was  his  poorest  season  since  he  took  over 
the  Kent  swimming  team,  Coach  Bill  Hoover 
was  forced  to  rebuild  from  an  array  of  inex- 
perienced candidates.  Their  record  was  un- 
impressive, but  the  squad  as  a  whole  showed 
high  promise  for  future  years.

Begala  Celebrates  25th  Anniversary 


Kent  State's  "grand  old  man  of  athletics,"  Joe 
Begala,  this  year  guided  his  wrestlers  to  an- 
other brilliant  season  and  in  so  doing,  wrote  the 
final  chapter  in  the  first  quarter  century  of  the 
sport  at  KSU. 

Long  known  as  "weeping  Joe,"  Begala  this 
season  had  just  cause  to  weep  at  the  outset  of 
the  campaign.  Enlistments  and  disenrollments 
dimmed  Begala's  outlook  for  successful  year. 
But  the  tactful  mentor  undertook  a  rebuilding 
program  and  through  his  guidance  and  coach- 
ing technique,  the  Golden  Flashes  responded  by 


winning  eight  of  10  dual  matches  and  finishing 
second  in  the  Mid-American  conference  cham- 
pionships. 

Ian  McEwan  completed  his  third  straight  un- 
defeated season,  and  he  and  Jack  Love  swept  to 
individual  victories  in  the  M-A  championships. 

In  dual  competition,  the  matmen  scored  lop- 
sided wins  over  Cleveland  Central  YMCA,  Wes- 
tern Reserve,  Marshall,  Baldwin-Wallace,  In- 
diana State  Teachers,  Miami,  Bowling  Green 
and  Ohio  U.  They  lost  to  Case  and  Toledo,  the 
Mid-American  champion. 


THE    REFEREE    looks    for    a    pin    against    Indiana    State 
Teachers',     who     lost     to     Kent     State,     20-10.

The  Activities 


It  takes  all  kinds  of  people  to  make  up 
the  world  and  all  types  of  backgrounds  to 
make  these  people  what  they  are. 

A  college  student  who  graduates  after 
just  going  to  classes  and  nothing  more  is  in- 
sufficiently trained  to  adjust  to  the  outside 
world.  To  expand  his  background  of  know- 
ledge and  experience,  and  to  live  with  his 
neighbors,  the  college  student  takes  part  in 
a  wide  variety  of  extracurricular  activities. 

His  choice  of  activities  may  be  made  on 
the  basis  of  adding  to  his  major  field  of  in- 
terest or  just  because  he  enjoys  that  par- 
ticular activity. 

A  student  may  choose  to  enter  campus 
politics  as  experience  in  furthering  a  polit- 
ical career.  Through  membership  in  one 
of  the  campus  political  parties,  he  may  be 
elected  to  a  position  in  one  of  the  University 
student  governing  bodies. 

Musical  interests  are  satisfied  by  work 
with  the  Twin  Bands,  the  orchestra  or  one 
of  the  choral  groups.  Dorm  life  affords  an 
opportunity  for  the  student  in  living  with 
others  and  adding  to  the  enjoyment  of  go- 
ing to  college. 

The  University's  student  publications 
offer  a  rewarding  opportunity  to  learn 
through  experience  for  students  interested 
in  writing,  photography  and  advertising. 

Thespians  may  play  in  the  University 
Theatre  while  others  find  pleasure  in  work- 
ing behind  the  scenes.  The  Student  Foren- 
sic Association  gives  voice  to  aspiring  ora- 
tors. 

Sports,  the  University  radio  station  and 
the  military  all  give  each  student  member 
that  intangible  something  that  is  expected 
of  college  graduates,  but  not  found  in  text- 
books. 


Governmental  Activities

University  Police  and  Traffic  Court 


With  the  growth  of  the  University,  the  campus 
poHce  force  has  also  expanded  to  meet  its  in- 
creased duties.  When  the  University  was  a  college, 
the  police  force  had  only  minor  duties. 

Now  on  duty  24  hours  a  day,  the  foi'ce  must 
keep  campus  traffic  moving  without  tieups,  pro- 
tect University  property  and  help  students  in 
trouble. 

They  are  responsible  for  handing  out  the  yel- 
low traffic  tickets  so  familiar  to  violators  of  the 


restricted  parking  area  rulings.  The  Student  Traf- 
fic Court,  a  subordinate  of  the  police  department, 
takes  over  where  the  officers  leave  off  in  violation 
cases.  The  members  of  the  board  hear  cases,  then 
decide  verdicts  and  penalties. 

As  a  safety  precaution,  the  police  officers  also 
register  cars  driven  on  campus  and  parked  in 
University  lots.  The  men  also  must  plan  parking 
space  for  visitors'  cars  during  conventions  held 
at  KSU.

Student  Council 


With  a  newly-adopted  constitution  to  regulate 
its  procedure,  Student  Council  entered  another 
year  of  acting  as  the  judicial,  legislative  and  exec- 
utive branches  of  Kent  State  government. 

The  new  constitution,  based  on  the  body  of 
laws  of  the  United  States,  was  okayed  by  a  937-72 
student  vote  during  Spring  quarter. 

Fall  began  with  a  bang  when  traffic  court  be- 
came the  target  for  a  barrage  of  Stater  comment. 
When  the  smoke  had  cleared,  SC  went  to  work 
on  student  elections,  the  book  exchange  and  set- 
ting up  the  judiciary  high  court,  provided  for  by 
the  new  constitution  to  hear  student  complaints. 
For  Student  Council  representatives  there  is  al- 
ways work  to  be  done,  always  gripes  and  criti- 
cisms to  combat,  but  the  men  and  women 
continue  on  as  the  backbone  of  campus  govern- 
ment. 


SC    OFFICERS:    Joan    Webster,    president;    Lore    Wicke, 
Sec;    Dick     Johnson,     Treas.;    Andy    Branik,     Vice     Pres. 


97 


NU-K  OFFICERS:  Art  Getz,  Treas.;  Ernie  Pope,  V.P.; 
Marilyn    Kapcar,    Sec.;    Jim    Witzberger,    chairman. 


A  need  for  more  than  one  political  party  on  the  Kent 
State  campus  brought  Nu-K  into  existence  five  years 
ago. 

Established  as  a  separate  group  in  1949,  Nu-K  had 
been  part  of  the  one-party  system  under  the  old  Blue 
Star  political  organization.  It  is  presently  composed 
of  three  sororities  and  seven  fraternities. 

Serving  on  the  executive  committee  are  two  repre- 
sentatives from  each  member-organization.  The  party's 
platform  expresses  the  belief  that  politics  is  everyone's 
job  and  not  for  a  privileged  few. 

To  give  unaffiliated  students  a  voice  in  politics, 
Nu-K  has  also  chosen  candidates  from  outside  the  party 
ranks.  A  screening  process  is  used  to  select  the  most 
capable  students  as  Nu-K  standard  bearers.  Anyone 
interested  in  running  for  a  student  government  posi- 
tion is  welcomed  into  the  Nu-K  caucus. 

Strongly  urging  everyone  to  take  advantage  of  their 
right  to  cast  a  ballot,  Nu-K  holds  the  interest  of  its 
constituents  by  sponsoring  annual  rallies. 


Everyone  A  Voter  Is  Nu-K^s  Goal 


NU-K:    First    row:    Jerry    Hayes,    Elaine    Kovalchik,    Ttialia

Jack  Gattozzi  and  Jim  Kohn. 


B-G  Landslides  In  Fall  Elections 


Whether  referred  to  as  better  government  or  B-G, 
the  Blue  and  Gold  political  party  has  proved  to  be  a 
dominant  force  on  the  campus  governmental  scene. 

In  1936,  KSU's  first  political  party  was  formed  and 
went  unrivaled  until  the  appearance  of  an  all  Greek 
organization  in  1940.  A  third  group  of  politicians,  the 
Blue-Star  party,  began  in  1946.  The  party  was  split  in 
1949  when  a  small  band  of  member  organizations  broke 
away  after  a  ballot  box-stuffing  scandal.  It  was  this 
smaller  group  that  has  grown  into  the  present  Blue  and 
Gold. 

Again  this  Fall,  Blue  and  Gold  showed  its  influence 
in  political  circles  by  copping  27  of  the  35  posts  open 
in  the  all-University  elections.  It  was  the  biggest  politi- 
cal landslide  in  campus  history. 

Included  as  members  of  the  party  are  Alpha  Epsilon 
Pi,  Alpha  Tau  Omega,  Sigma  Nu,  Kappa  Sigma  and 
Theta  Chi  fraternities.  Alpha  Phi,  Chi  Omega,  Delta 
Zeta  and  Gamma  Phi  Beta  are  the  sororities  which  hold 
membership  in  Blue  and  Gold. 


B-G    OFFICERS:     Roy    Berko,    Treas.;    Bob     Smith,     pres- 
ident; LaDonna  Huey,  Sec;  and  Myron  Grossman,   V.   P. 


99 


AWS  REPRESENTATIVES:  First  row:  Rita  Gattozzi,  Marilyn 
Lamont,  Eleanor  Harris,  Mrs.  Margaret  Swanson,  dean  of 
women;    Mary    Ann    Bamberger,    Marcia    Hill    and    Josie 


Dusek.  Second  row:  Charlotte  Frolo,  Dolores  Harvey,  Pat 
Barber,  Betty  Ann  Schmid,  Des  Harris  and  Nancy  Wilson. 
AWS      delegates      are      popularly-elected      each      year. 


AWS  Modifies  Coeds^  Regulations 


AWS  OFFICERS:  Seated:  Charlotte  Frolo,  Sec.;  Rita  Gat- 
tozzi, Pres.;  Betty  Ann  Schmid,  first  Vice  Pres.;  Marilyn 
Lamont,  Treas.;  and  Nancy  Wilson,  second  vice  president. 


Keeping  up  with  the  changing  times,  the  Asso- 
ciation of  Women  Students  this  year  modified  and 
revised  regulations  governing  KSU  coeds. 

In  addition  to  increasing  the  number  of  late 
permits  granted  to  women  students,  restrictions 
on  overnight  and  week-end  permits  were  changed 
to  enable  the  coeds'  parents  to  decide  what  type 
of  permissions  their  daughter  should  have.  Rules 
on  campuses  were  also  liberalized. 

The  19  representatives  to  AWS  include  dele- 
gates from  each  class,  dorm  and  campus  organ- 
ization. The  group  works  to  adjust  regulations  to 
protect  the  coed's  best  interests  while  at  the  same 
time  allowing  her  the  maximum  of  freedom.  Each 
women  student  is  given  the  opportunity  to  voice 
her  opinions  on  any  rules  governing  her  conduct. 

In  conjunction  with  the  dean  of  women's  office, 
AWS  this  year  issued  the  Kent  Coed,  a  booklet 
listing   all   the    regulations   for   women    at    KSU. 

AWS,  in  addition  to  its  governing  duties,  spon- 
sors the  annual  Big-Little  Sister  program,  honors 
Senior  women  at  the  Spring  banquet  and  co- 
sponsors  Pork  Barrel  with  M.S. A.

A  search  for  a  new  name,  begun  by  Men's  Union 
this  year,  resulted  in  a  switch  of  titles  to  Men  Stu- 
dents' Association  during  Winter  quarter.  Execu- 
tive committee  members  made  the  change  because 
they  felt  the  group  was  too  often  confused  with 
the  Union  building. 

Organized  in  1922,  the  Association  was  de- 
signed to  serve  the  comparatively  few  male  stu- 
dents at  Kent  State  Normal  School.  Throughout 
the  School's  development  into  a  University,  the 
group  has  promoted,  not  only  the  welfare,  but  also 
the  interests  of  Kent  men  through  activities  to 
give  them  a  full  college  life. 

At  one  time,  MSA  sponsored  a  total  of  23 
programs  including  intramural  sports,  news  pub- 
lications and  amateur  nights.  Although  its  respon- 
sibilities were  eventually  redistributed  to  specific 
departments,  MSA  still  co-sponsors  the  successor 
to  earlier  amateur  nights.  Pork  Barrel,  with  AWS. 

With  all  male  students  automatically  gaining 
membership  upon  registration,  MSA  is  ruled  by  a 
popularly-elected  executive  committee  consisting 
of  representatives  from  each  class. 


SERVING  AS  officers  of  MSA  are  Herb  Ryan,  president; 
Dean  Raymond  Manchester,  advisor.  Standing:  Jim 
Glynn,  Vice  Pres.;  Ben  McGinnis,  Asst.  dean  of  men; 
Bob     Evans,     secretary;     and     Dick     Granger,     treasurer.

L  S.  A. 


An  all-out  campaign  to  increase  its  member- 
ship to  a  record  high  was  the  goal  for  Independent 
Students  Association  this  year. 

Organized  to  strengthen  the  voice  of  the  unaf- 
filiated man  and  coed  in  campus  affairs,  ISA  also 
fulfills  the  obligations  of  expanding  the  social  life 
available  to  independents. 

Hayrides,  parties  and  dances  are  sponsored  by 
the  group  during  the  year.  Members  also  enter  all 
campus  competitions  including  Pork  Barrel  and 
Campus  Day  songfest,  participating  in  the  inde- 
pendent division. 

Newcomers  to  the  group  become  official  mem- 
bers at  the  annual  activation  dinner.  Before 
joining  the  Association,  interested  students  are  en- 
tertained at  coke  parties  sponsored  during  the 
early  weeks  of  each  quarter.  Upon  deciding  to 
pledge,  the  "recruits"  don  their  blue  and  gold  rib- 
bons, then  prepare  to  present  a  program  for  the 
active  members.

Booster  Club 

True  to  their  name,  members  of  the  Booster 
Club  spend  the  majority  of  their  time  giving  that 
extra  push  to  KSU's  campus  programs. 

Buying  athletic  equipment,  providing  funds  for 
scholarships  to  athletes,  and  purchasing  trophies 
are  among  the  club's  activities.  The  organization 
also  sponsors  a  banquet  annually  for  the  presi- 
dents of  all  campus  organizations,  provides  uni- 
forms for  the  cheerleaders,  and  cooperates  v/ith 
the  dow^ntown  Booster  club's  program. 

Twirp  night  was  the  Booster's  biggest  Fall 
event.  During  that  same  quarter,  the  group  helped 
boost  the  band  along  on  its  fund-raising  drive  to 
travel  to  Kalamazoo,  and  aided  cheerleaders  with 
pep  rallies. 

Established  last  year,  the  Varsity  Ball  is  an  all- 
University  Booster  dance  during  Spring  quarter. 
A  king  and  queen,  chosen  by  a  vote  of  all  students 
attending  the  Ball,  reign  over  festivities. 

Membership  is  open  to  all  undergraduates.

Dormitory  Activities 


Moulton  Hall  is  tradition  personified.  The  very  first  home  of 
Freshman  women,  this  dormitory  is  the  scene  for  all  the  laughs,  tears, 
and  friendships  that  a  new  coed  encounters  in  her  first  experiences  with 
college  life.  The  glow  of  warm  enthusiasm  that  characterizes  a  Fresh- 
man lights  up  the  halls  of  Moulton,  making  it  vitally  alive. 

There  is  no  chance  for  mental  frustration  among  the  coeds,  for  the 
dorm  has  the  finest  in  Freshman  counselors,  twelve  upperclassmen 
who  cure  anything  from  homesickness  to  lovesickness,  solve  algebra 
equations,  figure  schedules,  and  cut  hair.  And  if  further  advice  is 
sought.  Miss  Anna  Mae  Riggle,  head  resident,  can  be  depended  on. 

Abiding  by  the  regulations  set  by  the  house  council  and  officers, 
which  are  elected  from  the  dorm,  Moulton  women  are  self-governing. 
They  establish  their  own  rules  and  discipline,  and  their  success  in  the 
past  has  illustrated  the  effectiveness  of  this  procedure. 

This  fellowship  of  250  women  is  an  experience  of  a  lifetime,  and  an 
important  part  of  being  a  Freshman.  Long  after  classroom  lectures 
have  been  forgotten,  memories  of  dormitory  bull  sessions,  fire  drills, 
practical  jokes,  and  parties  will  remain  alive.

Tradition  Sparks  Life  At  Lowry 


MAKING  THEMSELVES  AT  HOME 
are  Lowryites  Judy  Marko,  Pat 
Rupp,  Mary  Shultz  and  Linda  Byers. 


Lowry  Hall  has  the  distinction  of  being  the  oldest  dormitory  on 
Kent  State's  campus.    A  Sophomore  women's  residence,  it  houses  189. 

Rich  in  tradition,  the  dormitory  activities  program  includes  an 
annual  open-house  during  Fall  quarter,  awards  to  those  coeds  with 
the  best-kept  rooms,  and  caroling  at  Christmas  time.  Another  Christ- 
mas tradition  is  the  annual  competition  between  corridors  for  the  most 
original  Yuletide  decorations. 

Lowry  also  has  two  cafeterias  which  accommodate  both  Lowry  and 
Moulton  coeds  and  some  off-campus  students.  The  cafeterias  are 
located  on  the  first  floor  of  the  building  with  the  two  remaining  floors 
for  living  quarters. 

Lowry  coeds  break  the  monotony  of  assignments  with  corridor 
parties,  group  parties  and  dances. 

One  of  the  biggest  events  of  the  year  is  the  traditional  Winter 
formal. 

Last  Spring,  Lowry  Hall  won  the  award  for  having  the  highest 
point  average  of  all  the  dorms  on  campus.  They  hope  to  keep  this 
award  for  the  coming  years,  and  add  it  to  their  growing  list  of 
traditions.

Stopher  Hall,  the  men's  dormitory  on  campus, 
can  boast  of  having  the  largest  group  of  male 
students  in  one  organization. 

Living  at  Stopher  is  an  experience  a  "Stopher 
man"  never  forgets.  All  four  classes  are  repre- 
sented in  the  dormitory.  Whenever  a  resident  is 
having  some  kind  of  trouble,  he  can  usually  call 
on  any  one  of  the  274  men  for  help.  The  prerequi- 
sites for  becoming  a  "Stopher  man"  are:  1.  Never 
have  any  neckties  of  your  own.  2.  Be  susceptible 
for  blind  dates.  3.  Be  able  to  sleep  through  a  blitz. 

The  dorm,  established  in  1949,  is  run  similar  to 
that  of  a  democratic  government.  Each  of  the 
seven  corridors  in  the  dormitory  chooses  three 
representatives  from  their  corridor  for  the  house 
council  meetings  held  each  week.  This  meeting  is 
presided  over  by  a  president  elected  at  the  begin- 
ning of  each  school  year.  All  the  business  of  the 
dormitory  is  transacted  by  council  delegates. 

Stopher  Hall  also  offers  many  academic,  social, 
and  recreational  functions  throughout  the  school 
year.  Each  quarter  the  corridors  compete  for  the 
academic  trophy  which  goes  to  the  corridor  with 
the  highest  point  average.  Dances  and  all  types  of 
sports  contests  are  also  held  during  the  year. 


KNIFE  IN  HAND,  Stopherile  Dave  Humason  gives  a 
few  lessons  in  his  favorite  hobby,  woodcarving. 
His  attentive  pupils  are  Herb  Oestreich  and  Tom 
Pittenger,  also  residents  of  the  men's  dormitory. 
Stopher     houses     a     total     of     274     KSU     men     students. 


274  Stopher  Men  Are  A  Lot  Of  Men

John  Moore  and  Wayne  Snyder.  Delegates  are  elected 
from    each    of    Stopher's    seven    corridors    to    the   council.

ENGLEMAN  HALL  OFFICERS:  Mary  Ann  Bamberger,  vice 
president;  Dorothy  Hightower,  treasurer;  Donna  Erb- 
lond.  Student  council  representative;  Mrs.  Mary  McCamp- 


bell,  head  resident;  Joy  Wheeler,  president;  Mary  Lou 
Williams,  social  chairman;  Joanne  Adrian,  secretary;  and 
Georgine   Jaros,   fire   warden. 


237  Coeds  Reside  in  KSU's  Newest 


Come  September,  1954,  Engleman  Hall  may  lose  its  place  as  the  newest 
women's  dorm  on  campus,  but  it  won't  lose  its  place  as  a  "grande  hotel" 
for  the  237  women  now  living  there. 

The  upperclassmen  dorm,  Engleman  is  set  apart  from  the  dormitory 
circle,  and  resembles  more  an  exclusive  apartment  house  than  a  residence 
hall.  The  low-ceilinged  entrance  way  with  its  mirrored  wall  and  dim  light- 
ing is  reminiscent  of  a  medieval  castle — with  a  modern  touch.  The  main 
floor  lounge  features  a  television  set  and  gleaming  grand  piano.  All  that  is 
lacking  to  make  it  an  equal  to  the  best  in  hotel  lobbies  is  the  registration 
desk. 

Built  in  1938  as  a  WPA  project.  Engleman  is  one  of  the  most  interesting 
structures  on  campus.  It  is  designed  in  the  form  of  a  "W",  with  the  lobby 
located  in  the  center  and  wings  containing  sleeping  quarters  angling  off  to 
either  side.    The  building  has  133  single  rooms,  46  doubles  and  one  triple. 

In  the  late  Spring  and  Summer,  the  Engleman  sun  deck  becomes  one  of 
the  most  popular  spots  with  residents.  Other  features  of  the  Hall  include 
a  rustic  flagstone  terrace  complete  with  flowers,  fountain  and  a  goldfish 
pond,  that  leads  off  the  main  lounge. 

With  officers  elected  annually  to  continue  Engleman's  practice  of  self- 
government  for  its  coeds,  the  $215,000  dormitory  is  presently  guided  by  Mrs. 
Mary  McCampbell,  its  seventh  head  resident.

RESIDENTS  OF  Engleman  Hall  were  served  a  magnificent

Music  Activities 


IT'S     THE     "K"     formation,     executed     by     the     Twin     Marching    Bands   to   accompany   their    playing    of   the   Alma   Mater. 

KSU  Twin  Marching  Bands 

Celebrate  25th  Year  As  Leading  Campus  Group 


It  has  been  25  years  since  that  first  day  in  the 
Fall  of  1929  when  KSU's  first  marching  band, 
numbering  some  20  players,  took  the  field  at  half- 
time. 

In  a  quarter  of  a  century,  that  small  group  has 
grown  with  its  University.  It  is  now  a  spectacular 
130-piece  organization  which  has  opened  a  new 
era  in  gridiron  pageantry. 

1940  marked  a  new  phase  of  college  and  un- 
iversity band  activity.  Director  Roy  D.  Metcalf  in 
that  year  conceived  the  idea  of  a  "two-ring"  circus 
with  Twin  Marching  bands.  The  unique  plan  has 
been  recognized  by  many  band  directors,  and  more 
recently  adopted  by  other  universities. 

Honors  have  been  accorded  the  KSU  music 
units  by  press  and  band  directors  alike.  The 
Cleveland  Press  rated  them  "best  by  a  mile"; 
Philadelphia  Inquirer  praised  them  for  "com- 
pletely winning  the  audience  with  a  superior  per- 


formance of  evolutions  of  almost  inconceivable 
complexities."  Francis  Murray,  executive  director 
of  the  Seventh  Annual  Music  Festival  in  Philadel- 
phia, called  their  performance  "completely  win- 
ning" when  the  units  represented  the  collegiate 
bands  of  the  nation  at  that  program. 

For  the  fourth  consecutive  year,  the  KSU 
musicmakers  were  invited  to  present  the  halftime 
show  at  a  Cleveland  Browns  football  game  in 
Cleveland  Stadium  this  Fall. 

On  the  campus  level,  the  members  add  their 
notes  to  Campus  Day  festivities  and  REW  pro- 
grams in  addition  to  their  performance  at  grid 
events.  They  are  spotlighted  annually  at  their 
own  concert. 

Showing  the  esteem  with  which  they  hold  their 
bands,  Kent  Staters  contributed  $1300  to  enable 
them  to  travel  to  Kalamazoo  for  the  Western 
Michigan-Kent  State  football  encounter.

A  NEW  ERA  in  gridiron  pageantry  was  opened  in    1940  when 
KSU's  Twin  Marching  Bonds  were  founded  by  Director  Metcolf. 


RATED  "BEST  by  a   mile",  the  band  has  been 
acclaimed    by   the    press    and    band    directors. 


FROSTING  ON  THE  coke,  so  to 
speak,  are  the  majorettes  who  lead 
the   Twin    Bands    across    the    field. 


OUT  ON  THE   practice   field   day   after   day,   the   Twin   Marching    units    perfect    their    synchronized    precision     and     music.

Across  the  quiet  campus  comes  the  sound  of  a 
choir  practicing,  its  combined  voice  welling  up 
into  a  crescendo  now,  softening  next  to  an  almost 
inaudible  murmer. 

It  is  the  University  a  cappella  choir  at  practice, 
under  the  direction  of  Robert  T.  Foulkes.  Boasting 
nearly  80  members,  the  group  has  made  a  name 
for  itself  during  the  past  few  years  through  its 
frequent  tours  and  programs. 

Another  group  of  KSU  songsters  is  the  madri- 
gal singers,  smaller  in  number  than  the  choir,  but 
just  as  effective  when  it  comes  to  presenting 
musical  programs. 

The  two  groups  combine  memberships  each 
year  at  Christmas  time  for  the  KSU  presentation 
of  Handel's  "Messiah."  With  guest  soloists,  the 
production  has  become  a  tradition  of  the  Univer- 
sity with  a  capacity  audience  hearing  it  each  year.

KSU'S  CONCERT  BAND,  consisting  of  more  than  70  student   musicians,    is    pictured    following    the   Winter    concert,    which 
featured  a  collection  of  gypsy  melodies  and  dances.    Combined  with  the  music  was  choreography  by  the  Modern  Dance  club. 


ROY   D.  METCALF,  director 


Twin  Bands  Switch  to 
Winter  Concert  Tempo 


After  marching  across  the  gridiron  turf  during 
the  Fall  football  season,  the  personnel  of  KSU's 
bands  switched  to  indoor  music  for  the  Winter  and 
Spring  months,  changing  their  tempo  to  that  of  a 
concert  ensemble. 

Working  under  the  direction  of  Roy  D.  Metcalf, 
the  concert  band  is  composed  of  more  than  70 
student  musicians.  The  reverberations  of  their 
practice  sessions  on  the  third  floor  of  Merrill  Hall 
echo  across  the  mall,  sending  first  the  notes  of  a 
march  to  listeners,  then  shifting  into  a  soothing 
rhapsody. 

Highlight  of  the  year  is  the  annual  concert, 
presented  this  year  on  February  18.  Featuring  a 
collection  of  gypsy  melodies  and  dances,  the  pro- 
gram combined  music  with  choreography  by  Miss 
Bess  Koval,  instructor  of  modern  dance,  in  an 
outstanding  presentation. 

Also  at  the  Winter  concert  came  the  first  public 
appearance  of  the  recording  band,  a  smaller  group 
designed  primarily  to  do  radio  and  recording  work.

It  is  a  scene  reenacted  daily  in  the  studios  of 
student-operated  WKSU-FM.  Fulfilling  its  dual 
aim  of  producing  professional  calibre  programs  for 


its  listening  audience,  while  instructing  KSU  stu- 
dents in  the  techniques,  procedures  and  production 
of  radio  shows,  WKSU  broadcasts  for  six  hours 
each  day. 

With  a  variety  of  programs  on  its  schedule,  the 
station  presents  shows  ranging  from  quiz  downs 
to  classical  music.  All  are  written,  produced, 
directed  and  announced  by  students.

Alpha  Psi  Omega 


As  the  curtain  falls  on  another  UT  dramatiza- 
tion, the  applause  is  rewarding  to  the  thespians 
who  have  worked  many  hours  for  a  successful 
production.    This  scene  could  have  taken  place  in 


Canada,  the  Canal  Zone,  in  Egypt,  or  in  any  of  the 
many  places  where  there  is  a  chapter  of  Alpha 
Psi  Omega.  Membership  in  the  KSU  chapter  re- 
quires 200  hours  of  work  on  UT  productions. 


Student  Forensics  Association 


It  takes  more  than  a  strong  voice  to  out-talk 
members  of  the  Student  Forensic  Association. 
Having  gained  speaking  experience  through  an- 
nual  participation    in   national   collegiate   debate 


tournaments,  the  KSU  pro  and  con  crowd  is  a 
difficult  one  to  defeat.  WKSU  airs  the  speakers' 
views  twice  a  month  in  a  forum-type  program  on 
current   topics. 


STUDENT  FORENSICS:  First  row: 
Prof.  Jon  Hopkins,  Wanda

Bruce  Evans,  John  Morrow,  Prof. 
Robert  Kent  and  George  Corbitt. 


The  final  act  in  the  life's  drama  of  one  of  KSU's  best  loved  faculty 
members,  Prof.  E.  Turner  Stump,  was  concluded  on  November  17,  1953. 

Head  of  the  school  of  speech,  Mr.  Stump  was  many  things  to  many 
people.  Professor,  advisor,  orator,  poet  and  man  of  religion,  he  was  a 
friend  to  all.  By  those  who  knew  him  best  he  is  remembered  as  a 
cordial,  humorous  personality  whose  ready  wit  was  balanced  by  an 
ability  to  skillfully  fulfill  his  many  and  varied  responsibilities. 

From  the  time  he  first  began  the  school  of  speech  in  1930  as  a 
one-man  department,  he  worked  for  and  with  both  student  and  staff. 
He  organized  a  debate  team,  then  later  the  college  theatre,  predecessor 
to  the  present  UT. 

After  enlarging  his  staff,  Prof.  Stump  introduced  both  radio  and 
speech  therapy  with  specialists  in  those  fields.  His  vision  of  a  complete 
speech  unit  was  realized  in  1945  with  the  opening  of  the  school's  fourth 
division. 

He  was  the  type  of  leader  who  could  envision  a  studio  Theatre, 
then  make  that  dream  an  actuality.  He  found  time  to  travel  to 
Washington  and  fight  for  an  FM  radio  permit. 

Although  his  memory  will  stay  with  those  who  knew  him,  it  will 
also  be  honored  by  future  Kent  Staters  who  sing  the  words  of  the 
Alma  Mater,  another  Stump  contribution  to  KSU. 

His  greatest  dream,  unrealized  at  the  time  of  his  death,  was  a  new 
speech  building,  to  further  advance  the  name  and  scope  of  Kent  State.

Variety  of  Shows  Marks  UT  Season 


"SUSAN  AND  GOD",  this  year's  freshman  play,  starred 
Nancy  Wynn  in  the  title  role,  with  Penny  Simmons  as 
her  bewildered  daughter.  Discovering  a  new  approach 
to  God,  Susan  nearly  kills  the  love  of  her  family 
and  cocktail-drinking  set  by  trying  to  convert  them. 
She    solves    her    problem    in    time    for    a    happy    ending. 


OSCAR  WILDE'S  "The  importance  of  Being  Ernest,"  was 
staged  by  UT  as  a  Studio  Theatre  production.  A  com- 
edy of  errors  over  first  names,  the  UT  presentation 
cast  Cal  Johns  as  Ernest,  with  Jim  Tushar  as  Algy, 
and    Barbara   Goedicke  as  the  snobbish    Lady  Bracknell. 


Paolo  and  Francesca 

"Paolo  and  Francesca,"  an  adaptation  of 
Dante's  "Divine  Comedy,"  featured  Bonnie 
Meese  and  Cal  Johns  in  the  title  roles  of  the 
ill  fated  young  lovers.  The  bride  of  Paolo's 
elder  brother,  Francesca  creates  a  triangle 
by  falling  in  love  with  the  younger  man. 
Forced  into  the  marriage  by  her  father's 
request,  Francesca  cannot  reveal  her  love 
for  Paolo.  The  suspicious  Giovanni  dis- 
covers their  secret,  however,  and  the  two 
young  people  seek  death  as  a  way  to  pre- 
serve their  eternal  love. 


Mrs.  Moonlight 

The  story  of  a  woman  who  is  given  a 
charmed  necklace  enabling  her  to  remain 
young  for  life,  "Mrs.  Moonlight"  was  UT's 
Summer  production.  Afraid  of  the  social 
stigma  from  her  continuing  youth,  she 
leaves  home,  only  to  return  years  later,  still 
young  and  beautiful,  to  her  dying  husband. 
Despite  her  appearance,  Mrs.  Moonlight, 
played  by  Mary  Stephenson,  is  old.  She 
dies  by  the  side  of  her  husband,  portrayed 
in  the  UT  show  by  Tom  Lavrich. 


The  Glass  Menagerie 

Tennessee  Williams  hit,  "The  Glass  Men- 
agerie," was  staged  as  UT's  opening  pro- 
duction of  the  1953-54  season.  With  Marcia 
Giesy  portraying  the  painfully  shy  heroine, 
Laura,  it  was  the  saga  of  an  unattractive 
girl's  withdrawal  into  a  make-believe 
world  of  glass  figurines.  Her  match-mak- 
ing mother,  played  by  Joyce  Meeks,  alien- 
ates the  love  of  her  son  Tom,  their  sole 
support,  when  she  tries  to  force  his  friend 
into  a  romance  with  Laura.  Dale  Breck- 
buhler   was  cast   as  the   unwilling   suitor.

ROTC  STUDENTS  find  the  extra  courses  required  for  military 
science  to  be  a  very  inexpensive  payment  for  the  great  increases 
in  their  future  opportunities.  In  addition  to  the  satisfaction 
derived  from  knowing  that  as  a  graduate  he  is  prepared  to  serve 
his  country  as  o  leader  in  the  event  of  a  national  emergency,  the 
ROTC  cadet  may  find  his  training  financially  rewarding  if  he  can 
qualify  as  a  commissioned  officer.  It  also  equips  him  to  later 
supplement     his     regular     income    with     service     as     a     reserve    officer. 


120 


AFROTC     CADET    training     includes     courses     in     leader- 
ship,     weapons,      international      relations      and      combat. 


Unlimited  Opportunity 
Offered  ROTC  Cadets 

Although  not  members  of  any  armed  service, 
Reserve  Officer  Training  Corp  cadets  in  colleges 
and  universities  throughout  the  country,  are 
learning  the  latest  methods  and  theories  of  war- 
fare as  evolved  from  World  War  II. 

With  the  newest  in  equipment  and  textbooks, 
men  enrolled  as  cadets  in  Kent  State's  program 
have  chosen  between  the  regular  army  corp  and 
the  more  recently  added  air  force  instruction. 

Primarily,  ROTC  teaches  the  rights  and  duties 
of  citizenship  under  the  democratic  system,  pre- 
paring cadets  to  lead  citizen-soldiers  in  time  of 
emergency,  and  providing  minimum  instruction 
for  commissions  as  army  or  air  force  officers. 

Each  student  has  the  opportunity  to  qualify 
for  a  direct  service  commission,  if  he  so  desires, 
or  to  equip  himself  as  a  future  reserve  officer. 
The  training  schedule  is  divided  into  basic  and 
advanced  stages  for  young  men  who  qualify  as 
members  of  the  corps. 


NOTHING  BUT  continual  drill  produced  the  straight 
lines  and  well-perfected  formations  that  can  be  seen 
when  ROTC  cadets  take  the  field  for  a  reviewing 
session.  KSU  cadets  learn  to  follow  the  commands  of 
their      leaders      at      the      corp      hour      practice      sessions. 


PERFORMING  FOR  the  President's  annual  riview  of  the 
Reserve  Officer's  Training  Corp  units,  the  ROTC  band 
strikes   up   a   march   to   accompany   the   marching    cadets.

PUBLICATIONS 


Spring 

A  hot  debate  raged  during  Spring  quar- 
ter after  the  Daily  Kent  Stater  became  a 
twice  per  week  newspaper.  On  one  side  it 
was  argued  that  lack  of  staff  members 
prompted  the  slash,  while  the  opposition 
called  it  financial  sense  to  cut  the  number 
of  editions.  Janet  deNobel  edited  the 
paper,  Joe  Durbin  was  managing  editor, 
and  Cal  Ratcliff,  business  manager. 


Fall 

Why  fewer  Staters  became  a  dead  issue 
during  Fall  quarter  when  the  paper  again 
added  Daily  to  its  masthead.  Campaigning 
to  keep  "suitcase  students"  on  campus,  and 
to  raise  funds  to  send  the  band  to  play  at 
Kalamazoo,  the  Stater  was  edited  by  Bill 
Barrett.  Chuck  Miller  was  in  the  manag- 
ing editor's  slot,  while  Steve  Turchik  was 
business  manager. 


Summer 

Shifting  to  a  Thursday-only  routine  for 
Summer  quarter,  the  Stater  was  edited  by 
Marilyn  Beifuss  for  the  first  session.  Jack 
Schoonover  took  the  post  for  the  second 
session,  and  introduced  the  first  six-column 
series  in  Stater  history.  Managing  editor 
for  both  terms  was  Jim  Monroe,  with  Jim 
Littlefield   working   as   business   manager. 


Winter 

Scooping  other  Ohio  papers  with  the 
KSU  basketball  ineligibility  ruling,  the 
Winter-Stater  was  edited  by  Dick  Duff. 
From  its  editorial  columns  came  a  boost 
that  sent  the  Crusade  for  freedom  drive 
over  the  top.  Managing  editor  was  Larry 
Carpenter,  while  Dick  Granger  served  as 
business  manager.

THE  STATER  STAFF,  more  than  70  strong,  has  fought  its  way  through  deadline,  copy  and  cut  fever  to  produce  daily 
editions.  Reporters,  photographers,  copy  readers,  business  and  advertising  staffs  combine  their  abilities  to  mal<e 
the    Stater    an    important    part    of    every    student's    daily    life.     Editorial    positions   are   earned    by   persistence    and    work. 


Kent  Stater 


Into  the  lines  of  printed  matter  which  march 
across  the  front  page  of  each  day's  Kent  Stater 
goes  the  work  and  inspiration  of  more  than  70 
staff  members. 

PubHshed  by  students  for  students,  the  Stater 
is  supported  entirely  allocations  from  the  activity 
fund  and  advertising  revenue.  Editorial  positions 
are  assigned  each  quarter  to  the  applicant  judged 
most  capable  by  the  Publications  Policy  committee. 


Its  columns  are  devoted  entirely  to  campus 
news;  its  editorial  voice  supports  only  those 
policies  considered  important  to  the  University 
and  student  body  as  a  whole. 

All  undergraduates  who  have  the  will  to  work, 
the  abilitj'  to  remember  that  nothing  short  of  right 
is  right,  and  the  stamina  to  live  up  to  its  "integrity 
without  compromise"  battle  cry,  are  eligible  for 
positions  on  the  Stater  staff.

TWEET  BURR,  editor 

1954  Chestnut  Burr 

It  all  began  in  April,  1953,  when  staff  membei's  of  the  1954 
Chestnut  Burr  fought  their  ways  through  the  maze  of  pipes  in 
the  basement  of  Kent  Hall  to  begin  producing  a  yearbook. 

The  staff  was  new.  They  learned  fast.  Deadline  became  a 
synonym  for  shattered  nerves,  aching  backs  and  tired  eyes.  The 
year  progressed.  The  white  brick  walls  were  dotted  with  pic- 
tures.   The  wastebaskets  and  the  ashtrays  overflowed. 

Editor  Tweet  Burr  spurned  the  usual  diet  of  coffee  and 
cigarettes.  She  lived  on  cherry  cokes  and  cigarettes.  A  pattern 
for  the  1954  yearbook  evolved  on  endless  sheets  of  layout  paper. 

Behind  his  negative-littered  desk.  Associate  Editor  Don  Shook 
moved  his  slide  rule  back  and  forth.  The  negatives  were  sized, 
the  orders  were  sent.  The  long  lists  of  self-reminders  on  his 
bulletin  board  became  sheets  of  crossed-out  sentences. 

Picture  Editor  Dick  Dugan,  a  cigarette  dangling  from  his 
mouth,  drew  the  exacto  knife  along  the  margin  of  another  picture 
panel.

In  the  background,  the  typewriters  chcked.  The 
stack  of  blue  copy  sheets  threatened  to  reach  the 
ceihng.  Copy  Editor  Pat  Cain,  i-ed  pencil  in  hand, 
conferred  with  the  writers.  Another  sheet  of  paper 
was  rolled  into  the  typewriter. 

There  were  a  great  many  laughs,  an  almost 
equal  number  of  temper  tantrums  as  the  constant 
rush  reacted  on  frayed  nerves.  The  routine  con- 
tinued. Piles  of  engravers  proofs,  stacks  of  copy 
blocks  and  idents  mushroomed  into  small  moun- 


tains. The  staff  worked  on.  They  groaned  at  their 
mistakes,  roared  at  each  other's  jokes,  sympathized 
with  one  another's  heartaches.  They  griped  at  life 
in  general,  then  solved  the  world's  problems  in 
bull  sessions.  A  group  of  individuals  was  trans- 
formed into  a  close  knit  staff. 

The  deadlines  were  met.  The  1954  Chestnut 
Burr  staff  fought  its  way  up  through  the  maze  of 
pipes  in  the  basement  of  Kent  Hall.  They  had 
produced  a  record  of  the  year.

Sharks  Club 

A  synchronized  swimming  extravaganza,  writ- 
ten, planned,  directed  and  staged  by  members,  is 
the  highlight  of  the  Sharks  Club's  annual  program. 

Along  with  group  activities,  members  this  year 
participated  in  many  swimming  competitions. 
Betty  Vickers,  competing  in  the  National  Aquatic 
Forum  in  Hollywood,  Florida,  placed  second  for 
KSU.  Two  solos  and  two  duets  by  KSU  Sharks 
rated  top  honors  at  the  synchronized  swimming 
meet  in  Akron  on  January  5. 

Founded  six  years  ago  when  Miss  Beverly 
Seidel  joined  the  HPE  faculty,  the  Sharks  club  has 
a  subsidiary  group,  appropriately  named  the  Gup- 
pies.  Prospective  Sharks  are  required  to  fulfill  a 
twelve-week  apprenticeship  in  the  Guppies  and 
pass  an  extensive  test  before  being  admitted  to 
full  membership.  The  club  now  boasts  a  roster  of 
more  than  50  student  members. 

Following  the  lead  of  many  other  colleges  and 
universities.  Sharks  club  members  have  recognized 
synchronized  swimming  as  a  rewai'ding  recrea- 
tional activity.  The  group  has  been  led  by  Miss 
Deane  Ritter  during  its  current  season. 


ALL    SET    FOR    a    swim,    Betty    Vickers    gets    a    send    off 
from     Carolyn     Miller,     Lou     Mariol     and     Miss     Ritter.

DELTA  TAU   DELTA'S  championship   swimming   team   makes  the  big   dive,   beginning   the   long   race   for  top  fraternity   honors. 


IT  WAS  a  mighty  race  for 
the  basketball  that  wasn't 
there  when  the  all-Univer- 
sity basketball  champion- 
ship     playoffs     were      held. 


CHI    OMEGA   and    the    off-campus    coeds'    team    vied    for    honors    in    the    WRA    basketball    competition    during    the    year. 


KSU    FRATERNITIES    fought    a    long    battle    for    top    place    in    the    intramural    football    race.     Sigma    Nu    won    the    title. 


Variety  Sparks  Recreational  Program 


Topping  the  list  of  activities  in  number  of 
participants  is  the  intramural  athletic  program. 
The  program  includes  a  variety  of  sports  for 
every  season  of  the  academic  year. 

Starting  off  the  Fall  season,  Sigma  Nu  fra- 
ternity topped  Temocs  for  the  all-University 
touch  football  championship.  In  volley  ball, 
Delta  Tau  Delta  came  out  on  top  in  the  frater- 
nity competition  garnering  a  total  of  five  wins 
and  no  losses.  Independent  champ  was  the  Twin 
Lakes  team,  with  six  wins  and  no  losses. 

Sigma  Nu  copped  the  wrestling  title,  while 


the  Delts  chalked  up  another  victory  in  the 
swimming  competition.  Phi  Kappa  Tau's  five 
was  knocked  out  by  the  independent  winners, 
the  Hounds,  in  the  championship  basketball 
playoffs. 

In  the  coed's  race  for  WRA  honors,  Chi 
Omega  and  Engleman  Hall  lead  the  volleyball 
race.  Top  Team  on  the  bowling  agenda  was 
Alpha  Phi  sorority. 

Other  women's  events,  still  in  progress  at 
press  time  include  basketball,  ping  pong,  bad- 
minton, swimming,  softball  and  bridge. 


SPONSORED   BY  the  Women's   Recreational   Association, 
intramural    badminton    events   were   held    in   Wills   Gym. 


ANOTHER    PART  of  the   intramural    recreational    program 
included  handball  for  men  students  on  the  MPE  courts.

The  Organizations 

As  if  in  proof  of  Shakespeare's  epic,  "All 
the  world's  a  stage  .  .  .",  the  university  stu- 
dent of  today  may  be  cast  in  one  or  more  sup- 
porting roles  portraying  the  four  sections  of 
extracurricular  activities. 

The  first  role  is  a  highly  desirable  one  and 
is  achieved  only  by  those  students  who  excel 
in  scholastic  and  extracurricular  pursuits. 
The  students  who  are  outstanding  in  their 
particular  field  and  in  scholarship  are  cast  as 
members  of  an  honorary  organization.  KSU's 
roster  of  honorary  and  professional  organiza- 
tions includes  both  national  and  local  groups 
which  give  recognition  in  more  than  30  differ- 
ent fields  of  interest. 

A  student's  second  role  may  be  a  self-por- 
trayal. He  is  a  student,  joining  the  ranks  of 
those  who  will  eventually  be  his  colleagues, 
in  departmental  activities.  Ranging  from  ge- 
ology to  health  and  physical  education,  from 
chemistry  to  business  scope,  the  groups  hold 
regular  programs,  sponsor  scholarship  awards 
and  set  up  loan  funds  to  advance  the  student's 
interest  and  understanding  of  his  future  pro- 
fession. 

Next  there  is  the  religious  organization  in 
which  the  student  becomes  one  of  many  who 
have  banded  together  in  spiritual  fellowship. 
At  Kent  the  religious  organizations  play  a  vi- 
tal role  without  destroying  the  value  of  indi- 
vidual church  affiliation.  All  groups  work  in 
close  harmony  with  Kent  churches  and  with 
one  another  to  promote  Freshman  Week  act- 
ivities, Religious  Emphasis  Week,  World  Stu- 
dent Service  Fund  campaign  and  aid  to  fore- 
ign students  attending  the  University. 

And  last,  the  student  plays  the  role  of 
man,  gregarious  man,  the  social  being  who 
seeks  the  companionship  and  fraternal  spirit 
of- others.  In  KSU's  21  national  and  local  fra- 
ternities and  sororities  he  finds  people  of  simi- 
lar interests  to  call  brothers  or  sisters.

Theta  Sigma  Phi 


Kappa  Alpha  Mu 


The  old  retort,  "Come  back  when  you're  three 
times  better  than  a  man"  is  still  tossed  at  women 
in  journalism,  but  chances  are  better  today  for  the 
would-be  fourth  estate  members.  Theta  Sigma  Phi, 
national  honorary  and  professional  fraternity,  for 
women  in  the  field,  has  played  a  leading  role  in  the 
change  of  attitude.  Originated  in  1909,  Theta  Sig 
founded  its  KSU  chapter  three  years  ago.  From  the 
first  group  of  nine  women,  the  group  has  increased 
to  more  than  20,  with  high  hopes  for  future  growth. 


Working  with  chemicals,  cameras,  enlargers 
and  flash  bulbs,  members  of  Kappa  Alpha  Mu's 
Chi  chapter  promote  photography  on  campus  by 
providing  hundreds  of  pictures  for  University 
publications.  Annually  the  fraternity  sponsors 
photographic  displays  and  shows. 

Kappa  Alpha  Mu,  national  honor  fraternity  in 
pictorial  journalism,  chartered  Chi  chapter  in

grown  in  both  membership  and  prestige.

Sigma  Delta  Chi 


KSU's  chapter  of  Sigma  Delta  Chi,  profes- 
sional journalistic  fraternity,  recently  finished 
its  first  year  as  a  branch  of  the  national  frater- 
nity which  now  numbers  over  22,000  members 
distributed  throughout  the  United  States  in  57 
undergraduate  chapters  and  37  professional 
groups. 

On  a  national  scale,  SDX  is  now  invoh'ed  in 
the  continuing  struggle  for  freedom  of  informa- 
tion against  those  who  feel  that  public  business 
should  be  conducted  behind  closed  doors. 

Locally,  the  chapter  participates  annually  in 
the  northeastern  Ohio  Scholastic  Press  clinic 
and  is  responsible  for  holding  the  annual  Publi- 
cations Banquet,  honoring  those  who  have 
worked  on  campus  publications. 

Last  Fall,  the  journalists  held  the  first  annual 
Front  Page  Ball,  designed  to  fill  the  void  be- 
tween the  opening  of  school  and  the  first  all- 
University  dance  of  the  year.  Homecoming.

Keys  were  made  to  open  doors  and  doors  lead 
to  many  things. 

Some  keys  are  bought,  others  are  free,  but  the 
key  that  opens  a  special  door  is  the  key  that  is 
earned. 

The  way  to  obtain  such  a  key  at  Kent  State 
is  through  service.  The  special  door  it  opens  is 
that  of  Blue  Key. 

Blue  Key  is  a  national  men's  honorary.  In 
addition  to  service,  leadership  and  scholarship  are 
two  other  requirements  necessary  for  membership 
in  the  organization. 

Composed  entirely  of  outstanding  men  who 
excel  in  these  three  fields,  Blue  Key's  membership 
roster  lists  26  of  KSU's  most  prominent  students. 

With  "Serving  I  live"  as  its  motto.  Blue  Key 
participates  in  all  phases  of  campus  life.  Members 
of  the  group  are  active  in  raising  funds  for  the 
community  chest  and  in  producing  Pork  Barrel. 

Blue  Key  is  particularly  helping  in  opening  the 
door  to  college  life  for  incoming  KSU  Freshmen. 
Serving  as  Freshmen  Week  advisors,  members  help 
orientate  newcomers  to  campus.  They  continue 
helping  by  publishing  the  Student  Directory.

Behind  the  scenes  of  many  of  KSU's  best  loved 
traditions  are  the  25  outstanding  women  who  have 
been  elected  to  membership  in  Cardinal  Key. 

A  national  service  sorority,  Cardinal  Key  has 
in  its  ranks  only  those  coeds  who  stand  high  above 
their  fellow  students  in  leadership,  character, 
service  to  the  University  and  scholarship.  With  its 
limited  membership,  the  group  has  become  one  of 
the  most  respected  organizations  on  campus. 

Striving  to  develop  character  through  applica- 
tion of  the  Cardinal  virtues  from  which  it  derives 
its  name,  the  sorority  advances  religion,  service 
and  patriotism  by  training  in  leadership. 

Each  year,  Cardinal  Key  presents  the  Campus 
Day  queen  in  an  all-white  procession  from  Hilltop 
Drive. 

Penny  Carnival,  sponsored  annually  by  Car- 
dinal Key  in  conjunction  with  Blue  Key  members, 
raises  funds  to  send  Kent  Staters  to  former  stu- 
dents now  in  the  services.  Family  Day,  an  Easter 
Egg  hunt,  and  the  womanhood  award  are  other 
Key  activities. 


CARRYING    RED    keys    and    carnations,    Cardinal    Key 
coeds   escort   the   Campus    Day   queen    to    her   throne.

Phi  Alpha  Theta 

Down  through  the  ages  things  have  been  hap- 
pening. Rome  was  discovered.  An  alphabet  was 
evolved.  Rome  rose  and  fell.  Napoleon  met  his 
Waterloo. 

The  study  of  these  various  happenings  is 
termed  history  and  some  people  who  are  very 
much  interested  in  it  are  listed  on  the  roster  of 
the  national  history  honorary,  Phi  Alpha  Theta. 

Phi  Alpha  Theta's  aim  is  to  stimulate  scholar- 
ship and  fellowship  among  students  majoring  and 
minoring  in  the  field. 


Gamma  Theta  Upsilon 

More  than  ever  before  people  have  discovered 
how  important  it  is  to  know  something  about  the 
world  in  which  they  are  living.  When  it  is  just  a 
matter  of  a  few  hours  from  here  to  Europe  it  is 
vital  for  educated  citizens  to  understand  that  land 
and  all  of  the  other  countries  brought  so  near  by 
air  travel. 

Gamma  Theta  Upsilon,  national  geography  hon- 
orary, has  as  its  aim  the  promotion  of  interest  in 
that  field.  Besides  stimulating  student  interest  in 
geography,  it  has  established  a  loan  fund  for  study 
and  research.

Phi  Gamma  Nu 

The  invasion  of  the  male  business  world 
by  the  faii-er  sex  astounded  an  ethical 
society.  But  not  for  long,  because  women 
soon  proved  their  competence  as  commer- 
cial rivals.  From  this  new  status  developed 
an  organization  which  united  American 
business  women,  Phi  Gamma  Nu.  Estab- 
lished at  KSU  in  March,  1951,  it  has  grown 
to  a  social,  as  well  as  professional,  honorary 
sorority  for  business  administration  majors 
with  point  averages  of  2.7  or  better. 

Phi  Gamma  Nu  functions  for  both  KSU 
and  the  community.  These  women  present 
a  typewriter  to  a  nearby  veterans'  hospital 
each  year.  And  to  the  Senior  woman  with 
the  highest  point  average  in  BA  is  awarded 
a  scholarship  key.  This  encouragement  of 
scholarship  is  extended  through  a  loan 
fund  to  help  members  finish  their  educa- 
tion, another  worth-while  project  of  Phi 
Gamma  Nu.

Arnold  Air  Society 


Shortly  after  the  Air  Force  Reserve  Officers 
Training  Corps  unit  was  estabhshed  on  campus, 
the  KSU  branch  of  the  Arnold  Air  Society  was 
founded.  An  honorary  organization  to  recognize 
students  for  outstanding  work  in  military  science, 
Arnold  Air  has  now  been  among  the  ranks  of  Kent 
State  organizations  for  three  years. 

In  addition  to  their  high  scholastic  achieve- 
ments, men  chosen  as  pledges  to  Arnold  Air  are 
those  who  excel  in  the  work  for  the  ROTC. 


As  future  commissioned  or  reserve  officers  in 
the  United  States  Air  Force,  Arnold  Air  members 
are  faced  with  all  of  the  problems  of  air  strategy 
and  leadership.  Outstanding  speakers  from  the 
service  and  professional  fields  are  featured  at 
meetings  of  the  group,  their  lectures  often  aiding 
the  undergraduates  to  better  understand  their 
problems. 

Named  in  memory  of  the  late  Gen.  "Hap" 
Arnold,  World  War  II  hero.

Pershing  Rifles 


One  of  the  more  active  honorary  organizations 
on  campus,  Pershing  Rifles  this  year  added  sev- 
eral outstanding  events  to  its  list  of  well  per- 
formed programs. 

During  Spring  quarter,  men  of  the  Kent  State 
branch  were  host  to  Pershing  Rifles  members  from 
three  states  at  the  annual  Drill  Meet.  Ohio  Uni- 
versity corps  men  won  the  meet  trophy  for  out- 
standing participation,  with  Kent's  men  coming 
in  a  close  second. 

The  two-day  meet  featured  exhibitions  of 
marksmanship,  drill  tactics  and  precision  march- 
ing.   One  of  the  highlights  of  the  event  was  the 


presentation  of  Pershing  Rifles  queens  from  all 
colleges  taking  part  in  the  meet.  To  officially 
close  the  program,  Kent  State's  PR  unit  enter- 
tained their  guests  and  dates  at  a  dance  in  the 
Union  ballroom. 

Throughout  the  year,  the  KSU  chapter  follows 
a  full  schedule  of  social  and  military  activities. 
Mock  battles,  inspection  meets,  and  drill  trips  are 
included  in  the  military  category,  while  the  annual 
Pershing  Rifles  formal  and  presentation  of  the 
company's  queen  highlight  the  social  scene. 

Organized  in  1949,  Pershing  Rifles  membership 
tripled  in  its  fii'st  few  years  on  campus.

Varsity  K,  set  up  in  1937  to  create  a  common  tie 
among  monogram  winners  and  to  screen  high 
school  athletes  for  college  sports  participation,  had 
led  the  way  in  the  state  of  Ohio  for  athletic 
organization. 

Every  athlete  who  earns  a  varsity  letter  is 
automatically  eligible  for  membership.  The  group, 
in  addition  to  its  professional  interests,  occasion- 
ally turns  from  sports  to  promote  social  functions.

Starting  off  as  a  local  group  in  1938,  Delta 
Kappa  Psi,  KSU's  organization  for  business  ad- 
ministration students,  grew  quickly.  By  1942, 
the  group  was  accepted  as  Beta  Pi  chapter  of  the 
national  business  fraternity,  Delta  Sigma  Pi. 

The  men  of  the  fraternity  keep  in  constant 
touch  with  new  developments  in  their  field  by 
frequent  trips  to  commercial  and  industrial 
institutions,  which  will  prove  of  particular  inter- 
est to  the  student  of  B.A.  or  commerce. 

At  least  once  each  month,  the  chapter  holds 
a  professional  meeting,  featuring  speakers  from 
important  positions  in  the  commercial  and 
business  worlds. 


In  addition  to  its  professional  activities.  Delta 
Sigma  Pi  sponsors  a  series  of  social  functions 
each  year.  Included  are  a  Founder's  Day  ban- 
quet, the  Monte  Carlo  party,  a  dinner  dance, 
and  picnics.  Interspersed  with  the  highlights  of 
the  social  agenda  are  house  parties  and  dinners. 

Each  year,  the  organization  recognizes  the 
outstanding  scholarship  of  one  B.A.  or  commerce 
graduate.  To  this  man  goes  the  Delta  Sigma  Pi 
scholarship  key. 

Participating  in  camups  competitions,  the 
men  this  year  won  top  prizes  for  both  the  Cam- 
pus Day  float  and  Homecoming  liouse  decora- 
tions in  the  independent  men's  division.

Childhood  Educators 

Working  for  the  education  and  well  being  of 
children  is  the  Association  for  Childhood  Educa- 
tion's aim. 

Along  with  regular  elementary  education  pro- 
grams, members  of  this  organization  study  the 
problems  of  child  education  and  work  with  state 
and  federal  agencies.  Individual  teachers  receive 
and  give  professional  help  through  this  organi- 
zation. 

Established  at  Kent  State  30  years  ago,  the  club 
publishes  monthly  bulletins  to  aid  teachers. 


Home  Ec»  Club 

One  of  the  KSU  organizations  richest  in  tradi- 
tion is  the  Home  Economics  club.  Organized  in 
1916,  the  group  has  the  distinction  of  being  the 
first  club  on  campus. 

Among  its  many  traditions  are  the  annual 
Buddy  picnic,  a  yearly  Christmas  dinner  and  the 
Senior  Honor  breakfast.  In  the  Spring,  the  group 
sponsors  a  project  for  underprivileged   children. 

The  Home  Ec.  club  is  affiliated  with  the  Ameri- 
can Home  Economics  association  as  one  of  its 
collegiate  branches.

Society  For  The 

Advancement  Of 

Management 

SAM  is  the  abbreviated  title  of  the  Society  for 
the  Advancement  of  Management,  an  organization  so 
diversified  as  to  include  the  interest  of  all  four  de- 
partments in  the  college  of  business  administration. 

Sophomore  men  majoring  in  business  adminis- 
tration with  an  accumulative  average  of  2.5  are 
eligible  to  join  the  Society. 

The  aim  of  the  organization  is  to  broaden  class- 
room experiences  in  scientific  management.  Officers 
of  the  year  feel  this  aim  can  be  achieved  by  their 
national  affiliation  with  SAM.  Another  step  toward 
accomplishment  of  this  aim  are  the  addresses  by 
well-known  speakers  from  the  business  world  who 
speak  at  the  monthly  meetings  of  SAM. 

Another  purpose  is  to  aid  B.A.  students  in  the 
selection  of  a  career  in  the  business  world.  Members 
are  thus  able  to  get  a  good  start  in  their  careers  from 
the  work  of  SAM. 

Ambition  is  their  byword  in  industry,  commerce, 
government  and  education.  Members  are  motivated 
by  a  selfless  zeal  to  spread  the  benefits  of  better 
business  management  to  the  business  world.

Industrial  Arts  Club 


Participating  actively  in  cultural  and  social 
functions  has  made  it  a  busy  year  for  members  of 
the  Industrial  Arts  club.  Art  exhibits,  wood- 
working, the  smell  of  fresh  paint,  and  house  plans 
are  all  part  of  the  daily  routine  for  lA  majors 
and  minors. 

Members  of  the  organization  are  drawn  to- 
gether by  a  common  interest  in  designing,  build- 
ing and  planning  both  large  and  small  projects. 

Club  programs  include  outside  speakers  who 
help  to  broaden  knowledge  and  experience  of 
members.  Not  all  on  the  professional  side,  the 
activities  of  the  lA  club  include  a  full  social  sched- 
ule. A  barn  dance  with  the  Elementary  Education 
club,  an  annual  semi-formal  for  alumni,  a  Spring 
banquet  and  Spring  picnic  highlighted  the  calen- 
dar this  year. 

Not  limiting  their  interests,  the  club's  members 
have  also  taken  an  active  part  in  intramural 
athletics. 

Whether  a  vocation  or  a  hobby,  industrial  arts 
has  proven  to  be  a  fascinating,  yet  practical  field 
to  the  draftsmen,  teachers  and  designers  of  the 
future.

Flying  Club 


A  yen  to  go  up  into  the  wild  blue  yonder  is  the 
common  spirit  which  prompted  the  founding  of 
the  Kent  State  Flying  club. 

Organized  several  years  ago,  the  club's  main 
purpose  is  to  give  both  undergraduates  and  faculty 
the  opportunity  to  learn  to  fly  at  a  minimum  cost. 
One  of  the  initial  groups  of  its  kind  in  Ohio,  the 
KSU  flying  group  was  also  one  of  the  first  such 
ventures  to  be  granted  a  corporation  charter  by 
the  state. 


Early  this  year,  a  glider  was  admitted  to  the 
club's  hangar  to  become  a  companion  to  the  light 
planes  previously  acquired  by  the  group.  The 
glider  was  presented  to  the  fliiers  by  the  state  in 
cooperation  with  the  Ohio  Aviation  board. 

Prospective  members  under  21  must  have 
parental  permission  to  join  the  club,  and  references 
assuring  their  good  character  and  sound  judgment. 
Only  one  other  requirement — a  sincere  desire  to 

fly-

Geological  Society 

Although  there  are  probably  no  new  continents 
left  to  conquer,  people  throughout  the  world  are 
taking  a  new  interest  in  revealing  facts  about  the 
earth  and  its  interior.  The  Kent  State  Geological 
society  promotes  student  and  professional  interest 
in  the  field.  The  latest  facts  are  available  to  stu- 
dents in  lectures  by  guest  speakers,  while  papers 
and  experiments  done  by  undergraduates  are  often 
presented. 


Elementary  Ed  Club 

The  Elementary  Education  club  was  organized 
during  the  1940-41  academic  year  by  students  inter- 
ested in  furthering  the  aims  of  elementary  teach- 
ing. 

On  its  annual  agenda  are  a  variety  of  profes- 
sional meetings  featuring  panel  discussions,  films, 
and  lectures.  By  discussing  the  various  phases  of 
the  profession,  members  gain  a  valuable  insight 
into  their  future  positions.

Biological  Society 

Sparking  its  yearly  agenda  with  field  trips  to 
museums,  hospitals  and  the  zoo,  the  KSU  Biolog- 
ical society  has  been  functioning  since  1948  when 
it  was  reorganized  from  the  former  Biology  club. 

Not  limited  to  majors  or  minors  in  the  field, 
membership  in  the  organization  is  open  to  any 
student  interested  in  biology.  Meetings  with  grad- 
uate students  and  professional  biologists  permit 
the  undergraduates  to  gain  valuable  information. 


Cheerleaders 

With  a  clap  of  the  hands  and  a  count  of  three 
they're  off  to  another  rousing  cheer.  The  gals 
just  never  give  up,  but  keep  the  crowd  cheering 
come  rain  or  shine. 

They  spend  a  great  deal  of  time  practicing  so 
that  they  can  always  bring  up  something  new 
when  the  going  gets  rough  and  more  of  their 
time  is  taken  attending  the  athletic  events  to 
give  their  enthusiastic  support. 


CHEERLEADERS:  Reita  Williams, 
Pat  Maher,  Rick  Arick  and 
Luella   Leach.

Sigma  Theta  Epsilon 


Now  celebrating  half  a  decade  as  a  campus 
organization,  Sigma  Theta  Epsilon  has  made  it  a 
year  of  service  to  church,  University  and  com- 
munity. 

Founded  in  1949,  the  Methodist  men's  frater- 
nity worked  in  cooperation  with  the  Red  Cross 
bloodmobile  unit  which  operated  on  campus. 

With  headquarters  in  the  Wesley  House,  Sigma 
Theta  stresses  religion  as  a  way  of  life  and  co- 


operation with   other  religious  groups  as  two  of 
its  main  goals. 

The  organization  has  taken  an  active  part  in 
University  activities  and  service  projects.  On  the 
social  side  of  their  calendars,  Sigma  Theta  Epsilon 
members  participate  in  all  activities  of  the  Wesley 
Foundation  in  addition  to  their  own  schedule  of 
dances  and  parties.  Topping  the  list  is  the  annual 
Sweetheart  Dance. 


SIGMA  THETA  OFFICERS:  Jeff  Barnard,  Vice  Pres.; 
Ron  Gander,  Sec.;  Don  Overly,  Treas.;  Dick  Farrell, 
president;    and    Wallace     Jacobs,     National     Vice     Pres.

participate  in  activities  of  both  their  own  group 
and      the     Wesley      Foundation      throughout     the     year.

Lutheran  Student  Fellowship 


Equipped  with  television,  card  rooms,  and 
lounging  facilities,  the  new  Student  Center  has 
proved  to  be  a  source  of  both  pride  and  enjoyment 
to  the  Lutheran  Student  Fellowship  members. 

Open  all  day,  the  center  also  has  a  library  of  re- 
ligious books,  periodicals  and  references  available 
for  student  use. 

With  its  aim  to  afford  Lutherans  and  their 
friends   an   opportunity   for   spiritual   and    social 


fellowship,  the  organization  is  currently  working 
to  form  subsidiary  groups  to  the  local  LSF. 

A  full  social  program  is  provided  by  the 
Fellowship  in  addition  to  its  religious  activities. 
The  annual  Town  and  Gown  dinner,  Winter  and 
Summer  camping  excursions,  and  the  Freshman 
reception  have  become  traditions.  LSF  members 
supplemented  the  annual  events  this  year  with 
hayrides,  cost  dinners  and  square  dances.

Dedicated  in  Marchi,  1953,  the  B'nai  B'rith 
Hillel  Councellorship  has  had  a  year  of  the 
growing  pains  that  effect  young  organizations. 

An  active  member  of  the  University  Religious 
council,  Hillel  offers  its  members  religious, 
cultural  and  social  programs.  Movies,  discussion 
sessions,  lectures  and  parties  are  included  on

operation with  three  other  campus  religious 
groups.   Rabbi  Abraham  Leibtag  is  advisor.

Although  primarily  a  social  organization  for 
Jewish  women  at  KSU,  Sigmaphi  also  offers  its 
members  both  religious  and  cultural  programs.

when  several  members  moved  in  at  535  S.  Water 
St.    All  meetings  are  held  at  the  address. 

An  annual  tea  for  parents,  administrators  and 
faculty  members  has  been  initiated  as  a  Sigma- 
phi tradition.  Another  big  event  of  the  year  was 
a  hillbilly  party,  rated  by  members  as  a  great 
success.  Advisers  to  the  group  are  Dr.  Frances 
Herwig  and  Mrs.  L.  Lowenstein.

SPONSORING  A  variety  of  social  events  in  addition  to  its  religious  activities,  the  Wesley  Foundation  this  year  v/as  one 
of  the  more  active  groups  on  campus.    Its  large  membership  was  again  directed  by  Rev.  Charles  Ireland. 


Wesley  Foundation 


First  organized  in  1915.  the  Wesley  Founda- 
tion has  grown  into  an  international  organiza- 
tion with  branches  in  all  of  the  48  states  and 
many  foreign  countries. 

The  local  chapter,  chartered  in  1927,  provides 
students  with  ministerial  consultation  on  cam- 
pus, encourages  Christian  fellowship  among 
members,  and  promotes  social  growth. 

Designed  primarily  for  the  student  of  the 
Methodist   religion,   Wesley  welcomes  all  men 


and  coeds,  regardless  of  denomination. 

Headquarters  of  the  group  is  the  Wesley 
house  at  511  E.  Main  St.  The  large  brick  resi- 
dence is  the  scene  of  the  majority  of  social 
functions,  in  addition  to  its  use  as  a  regular 
student  center. 

Cost  suppers,  lectures,  discussion  sessions  and 
a  variety  of  social  events  are  sponsored  annually 
by  the  Foundation.  The  kiddies'  party  during 
Winter  quarter  was  just  one  popular  event. 


LED    AGAIN    this    year    by    Rev.    Charles    Ireland,    ad- 
visor,  Wesley   officers   planned   the   group's   programs.

Kappa  Phi 


Service  is  the  keynote  of  KSU's  Methodist  sor- 
ority, Kappa  Phi.  Working  closely  with  Wesley 
Foundation,  the  group  annually  holds  a  Christmas 
party  for  underprivileged  children,  sends  packages 
to  Korean  orphanages,  assists  with  the  Happy  Day 
school  program  for  mentally  retarded  youngsters, 
and  works  with  Goodwill  Industries  in  Akron  to 
help  the  physically  handicapped. 

Socially,  Kappa  Phi  has  its  Sweetheart  dance 
and  a  Rose  Tea  for  prospective  pledges. 


AS  PART  OF  Religious  Emphasis  Week,  Newmanites 
sponsored  a  retreat.  Evening  retreat  services  took 
place     at     Kent's     new     St,     Patrick's     Catholic     church. 


FATHER  JOHN  DAUM,  newly-appointed  chaplain  and 
advisor  to  the  Newman  club,  greets  Margie  Zeph 
during  a  reception  given  at  KSU  in  his  honor  last  Spring. 


Playing  a  threc'sided  role 
in  the  life  of  the  Catholic 
student,  ISJewman  Club  is  a 
religiouSf  social  and  educa' 
tional  force  for  its  memhers* 


LIVING  UP  TO  its  role  as  an  educational  part  of 
the  Catholic  student's  life,  Newman  club  held  a  series 
of      Thursday      night      instruction      classes      this      year.

Newman  Club 


Remodeling  work  on  theii-  new  student  center  was  upper- 
most in  the  minds  of  most  Newman  club  members  as  they 
rolled  into  high  gear  on  their  annual  program  of  activities. 

To  be  located  across  from  St.  Patrick's  Church  on  De- 
peyster  St.,  the  center  was  redecorated  by  the  members  of 
the  organization  for  Catholic  students.  One  of  300  Newman 
club  chapters  on  the  campuses  of  non-sectarian  universities 
throughout  the  country,  KSU's  branch  this  year  welcomed 
Rev.  Fr.  John  Daum  as  its  official  chaplain. 

In  its  role  as  a  tool  and  instrument  of  religious  educa- 
tion, Newman  club  plays  a  three-sided  part  in  the  life  of  a 
Catholic  student.  Acting  as  a  religious,  educational  and 
social  force  in  his  college  career,  the  organization  sponsors 
retreats,  conventions,  discussion  sessions,  instruction  classes, 
dances  and  parties  for  its  members. 

The  Newmanite,  official  club  newspaper,  provides  a 
means  of  communication  among  members.  Since  it  is  stu- 
dent-edited, student-read  and  tells  of  student  activities,  the 
bulletin  is  another  important  link  in  the  chain  which  binds 
each  individual's  religion  to  his  other  college  functions. 


NEWMAN  CLUB  OFFICERS:  First  row;  Marianne  Koley, 
Corres.  Sec;  Amy  Sica,  advisor;  Marge  Zeph,  Treas.; 
and    Fr.   John    Daum,   chaplain.     Second    row:   Frank    De 


Domenico,  V.  P.;  Gene  Clanciolo,  Ass't.  Sec.  Chr.;

A  wide-flung  invitation  to  all  KSU  students  to  join  their 
organization  is  the  keynote  of  the  friendship  and  companion- 
ship which  may  be  found  in  the  United  Christian  Fellowship. 
A  united  Christian  effort  to  help  students  of  several  Protes- 
tant denominations  serves  as  the  goal  of  UCF. 

New  to  the  organization  this  year  and  directing  its  activi- 
ties is  Reverend  William  Laurie,  who  came  to  KSU  from  his 
church  in  Parma,  Ohio.  With  his  guidance,  the  officers  plan 
Wednesday  afternoon  coffee  hours,  Bible  study  groups  and 
Sunday  evening  suppers  at  which  students  may  share  their 
convictions  and  ideas. 

The  year  of  social  activities  is  highlighted  by  a  Winter 
formal  and  the  Senior  banquet.  Another  highlight  in  the 
year's  program  is  the  weelcend  retreat,  held  at  a  near  by 
camping  site. 

A  good  example  of  cooperation,  UCF  has  shown  that  the 
various  religious  groups  can  work  together  for  the  better- 
ment of  their  campus  and  community.  Since  its  origin  in 
1948,  the  organization  has  become  an  outstanding  and  signi- 
ficant contribution  to  the  large  body  of  students  whose  needs 
it  serves  so  successfully.

Kappa  Psi  Alpha 


s*   •'^ 


The  youngest  local  fraternity  on  campus, 
Kappa  Psi  Alpha,  was  organized  in  1950  out  of 
what  was  felt  to  be  a  need  for  brotherhood  among 
negro  men  on  the  KSU  campus. 

After  gaining  Student  Council  recognition  as 
the  Scrollers  Club  in  February,  1953,  the  group 
petitioned  Interfraternity  Council  for  local  frater- 
nity status.    It  was  granted  in  December. 

As  the  Scrollers,  the  men  brought  a  Karamu 
House  dance  troupe  to  KSU  last  Spring,  partici- 
pated in  Penny  Cai'nival,  and  began  a  civic  project 
of  clearing  an  area  which  was  later  promoted  in 
Kent  as  a  playground. 

The  Kappa  Psi  Alpha  constitution  contains  no 
restrictive  clauses  on  membership.  Any  male 
student  of  good  moral  character  who  meets  Uni- 
versity requirements  may  become  a  member. 

Dr.  Marvin  R.  Koller  is  advisor  to  the  group. 
Starting  off  life  as  a  fraternity  on  the  right  foot. 
Kappa  Psi  members  immediately  entered  the  intra- 
fraternity    basketball    and    bowling   competitions. 

Several  KSU  athletes  are  listed  on  the  frater- 
nity's membership  roster.  Included  are  Joe  Bar- 
bee  and  Bill  Kerr,  football;  Clarence  Johnson, 
track,  and  the  Whitley  twins,  Jim  and  Bill,  Frosh 
football.

In  line  with  its  national  philanthropic  project 
of  aiding  victims  of  cerebral  palsy,  Kent's  chapter 
of  Alpha  Chi  Omega  not  only  lends  its  financial 
support  to  the  Foundation  but  also  its  moral  sup- 
port by  visiting  the  wards  at  Akron  City  hospital 
and  the  Canton  clinic. 

Alpha  Chi  Omega  came  to  Kent  in  April,  1950, 
making  Beta  Gamma,  KSU's  last  local  sorority,  its 
75th  chapter.  The  national  group  was  founded  in 
1885  at  DePauw  University. 

Each  month  the  local  chapter  recognizes  one 
outstanding  member  for  her  conscientious  work 
and  awards  to  her  a  red  carnation,  the  official 
sorority  flower.  Other  traditions  at  the  A  Chi  O 
house  include  the  annual  Lolly  Pop  dance  given 
by  the  pledges.    For  the  dance,  all  members  and 


their  dates  dress  like  the  lolly  pop  set. 

Alpha  Chis  active  in  campus  organizations  in- 
clude Joyce  Szaniszlo  and  Lillian  Pollack,  mem- 
bers of  Student  Council;  Sally  Mantle,  secretary 
of  the  Sophomore  class;  Doris  Eggert,  secretary  of 
the  Junior  class;  and  Ellen  Doccolo,  secretary  of 
the  Inter-Dorm  Council. 

The  sorority  also  has  its  members  in  several 
honorary  organizations  including  Phi  Gamma  Nu, 
Theta  Sigma  Phi,  Kappa  Delta  Pi,  Delta  Psi 
Kappa,  and  Orchesis. 

AXO  Marty  Gunn  was  chosen  by  Delta  Upsilon 
as  its  1953  K  Girl  for  Campus  Day  and  Jeri  Busch 
was  an  attendant  to  the  Campus  Day  queen. 

Joyce  Szaniszlo  is  president  of  the  Kent  Alpha 
Chi  Omega  chapter  this  year.

When  the  dust  of  rush  parties  had  once  again 
settled  in  KSU  sorority  houses.  Alpha  Gamma 
Delta  had  eight  new  pledges  on  its  membership 
rolls.  Established  as  a  local  in  1926,  the  KSU  group 
became  Alpha  Nu  of  the  national  in  1947. 

Located  at  126  Linden  Road,  the  sorority  house 
is'  the  scene  of  many  social  events  throughout  the 
year.  Fraternity  parties,  exchange  dinners,  and  a 
monthly  dessert  for  the  entire  group  are  a  few  of 
the  many  activities.  Formals  highlight  the  Alpha 
Gam's  Winter  and  Spring. 

Serving  as  hostesses  to  an  International  Re- 
union day  for  all  members  in  Northern  Ohio 
recently  provided  a  new  experience  for  the  local 
organization.  As  a  national  project,  Alpha  Gamma 
Delta  has  given  worthwhile  aid  to  victims  of  cere- 


bral palsy.  Locally,  the  Alpha  Nu  chapter  enter- 
tains the  special  education  class  from  the  Univer- 
sity School  during  the  Christmas  holidays. 

Active  in  campus  groups  are  Pat  Boehmer,  of

With  a  first  place  award  for  Homecoming  house 
decorations  tucked  away  in  the  trophy  case,  Alpha 
Phi  started  off  its  sixth  year  on  campus  with  a 
bang. 

During  Spring  quarter,  the  Phis  copped  their 
first  award  for  a  Campus  Day  float  since  their 
nationalization  in  1948.  That  same  day,  they  sang 
their  way  to  a  third  place  in  Songfest,  and  later 
ranked  third  in  the  Regatta  races.  They  also  col- 
lected the  largest  contribution  to  the  Stater  Penny- 
Fund. 

Following  an  old  tradition,  Alpha  Phi  played 
host  to  other  sorority  and  fraternity  members  at 
its  annual  All-Greek  formal,  held  on  December  4 
at  Meyers  Lake.  In  addition  to  the  All-Greek,  the 
sorority  has  its  annual  Spring  dinner  dance. 


Cardiac  aid  is  the  national  philanthropic  pro- 
ject of  Alpha  Phi.  Cooperating  with  the  Kent 
society,  the  local  chapter  canvassed  the  city  during 
February  for  donations  to  the  heart  fund. 

Queens  included  among  the  ranks  of  the  "Slap 
Bang"  girls  are  Donna  Veon,  ATO  queen  and  '54 
Burr  queen;  Fran  Gordon,  1953  Burr  queen;  Jane 
Miller,  Booster  Club  queen;  Connie  Wendt,  attend- 
ant to  the  Burr  and  May  Queens;  and  Mariene 
Hallock,  Kappa  Sigma  Nu  queen. 

Other  A  Phi  BWOC  include  the  mistress  of 
ceremonies  for  the  Frosh  week  show;  president  and 
vice  president  of  Psi  Lambda  Omicron;  vice  pres- 
ident of  Theta  Sigma  Phi  and  Cardinal  Key;  editor 
of  the  1954  Chestnut  Burr;  and  members  of  many 
campus  honoraries.

In  campus-wide  competition,  the  Xis  took  sec- 
ond in  Penny  Carnival,  the  float  competition,  and 
also  were  runners  up  for  the  Women's  Recreation 
Association  sports  award.

house  are  the  Winter  formal,  the  Rose  dance,  a 


Gold  Digger's  caper  sponsored  by  the  pledge  class, 
and  a  DU  party  for  new  members. 

From  their  home  high  up  on  Summit  St.  hill, 
the  Alpha  Xi  Delta's  have  watched  many  of  their 
sisters  win  high  places  in  campus  organizations. 
Prexy  Joanne  George  is  women's  director  of

Preoccupation  with  scales  and  vocal  exercises 
paid  off  for  Chi  Omega  when  the  sorority  copped 
its  second  consecutive  Songfest  award  on  Campus 
Day. 

Exercises  of  a  different  type  brought  the  "X 
and  a  horseshoe"  coeds  the  All-Sports  award  for 
the  year.  At  Rowboat  Regatta,  the  Chi  O's  were 
outdistanced  for  top  sorority  honors  only  after 
a  run-off  oar  battle,  then  came  out  on  dry  ground 
to  capture  the  tug-of-war  trophy. 

One  of  the  more  active  groups  on  campus  in 
undertaking  University  projects,  Chi  Omega  each 
year  presents  an  award  to  the  woman  graduate  in 
sociology  with  the  highest  scholastic  record.  An 
all-University  tea  is  another  annual  event,  as  is 
the  Duke  of  Kent  contest,  sponsored  to  raise  funds 


for  articles  to  be  used  by  University  students. 

Included  among  other  group  activities  are  the 
annual  Winter  informal.  Spring  dinner  dance,  and 
Christmas  kindness  to  an  underprivileged  family. 

Among  the  outstanding  Chi  O  coeds  are  a  past 
editor  of  the  Stater,  Kappa  Sigma  sweetheart, 
head  drum  majorette,  corps  commander  of  the 
Army  and  Air  ROTC  units,  Wing  and  Group  com- 
manders of  AROTC,  Booster  club  president, 
Sharks  club  head;  captain  of  the  cheerleaders; 
Regatta  and  Campus  day  queen  attendants;  five 
members  listed  in  "Who's  Who  .  .  .  ";  three  Coun- 
cil members,  and  16  members  of  campus  honorary 
fraternities. 

The  first  national  sorority  established  at  Kent 
State,  Chi  Omega  was  founded  nationally  in  1895.

For  the  fourth  consecutive  year,  Delta  Gamma 
copped  the  Panhellenic  scholarship  trophy  for  the 
outstanding  point   average  among  sororities. 

To  prove  that  brains  go  along  with  beauty  in 
DG  coeds,  the  sorority  also  added  to  its  list  of  ac- 
complishments several  queenships.  Among  the 
Delta  Gamma  queens  are  Mary  Elaine  Long,  Delta 
Tau  Delta  sweetheart;  Tykie  Balaun,  the  Snowball 
queen;  and  Becky  Merrill  Rischer,  Freedom  Girl. 

Other  DG's  honored  for  their  beauty  are  Doris 
DeCenso,  Burr  queen  finalist;  Carol  Hampton,  an 
attendant  to  Pigskin  Prom  queen;  and  Nellie  Lou 
Williams,  an  attendant  to  the  May  Queen. 

On  Campus  Day,  the  sorority  took  second  place 
in  Songfest  and  ranked  third  in  the  float  competi- 
tion with  its  grass  cannibal  hut  on  wheels. 


As  a  national  philanthropic  project.  Delta  G"s 
aid  the  blind  and  work  for  conservation  of  sight. 
For  the  past  four  years,  members  of  the  KSU 
chapter  have  read  to  Joe  Mihalik  and  this  year, 
Dave  Armijo  was  added  to  the  reading  schedule. 

Another  annual  project  is  the  Christmas  party, 
held  each  year  at  the  sorority  house  for  under- 
privileged youngsters  in  the  Kent  area.

active  chapter  with  a  big  surprise  during  Spring 
quarter  when  they  announced  the  purchase  of  a 
new  sorority  house.  Located  at  207  E.  Main  St., 
the  residence  became  official  Gamma  Phi  head- 
quarters during  the  Fall  and  accommodates  24 
'girls. 

To  initiate  the  new  house,  the  Gamma  Phi's,  in 
conjunction  with  the  International  Relations  Club, 
entertained  at  a  reception  for  Trygve  Lie,  former 
secretary  general  of  the  United  Nations,  when  he 
spoke  at  KSU  during  October. 

The  new  residence  was  again  in  the  spotlight 
when  its  owners  turned  the  front  yard  into  a  wild 
west  scene  to  take  third  place  in  the  sorority 
house  decoration  competition  for  Homecoming. 


Members  of  the  sorority  have  cornered  the 
market  on  Penny  Carnival  trophies  during  the  last 
few  years.  With  their  sale  of  leis  by  sarong-clad 
coeds,  the  sorority  has  copped  the  trophy  for  more 
consecutive  years  than  most  people  can  remember. 

Another  Gamma  Phi  activity  is  the  annual  May 
Day  relays.  The  sorority  sponsors  the  races  and 
other  competitive  events  that  make  up  the  Relays 
during  Spring  quarter,  with  trophies  going  to  the 
organizations  racking  up  the  most  points  in  each 
of  three  divisions. 

With  several  of  its  members  listed  as  officers 
and  members  of  many  leading  campus  groups,  the 
Gamma  Phi's  are  now  nearing  the  end  of  their 
sixth  year  at  Kent  State.  The  national  group, 
dating  back  to  1874,  set  up  its  KSU  chapter  in  1947.

Along  with  several  other  Greek  groups,  Alpha 
Epsilon  Pi  packed  up  its  belongings  and  changed 
residences  during  Fall  quarter.  The  big  move  for 
the  men  of  the  fraternity  was  from  Main  St.  to  520 
S.  Lincoln. 

Now  firmly  established  in  their  new  headquar- 
ters, members  of  the  organization  have  started 
planning  for  three  of  their  most  outstanding  tradi- 
tions. Included  are  an  annual  formal  dance,  a 
return  to  the  cowboy  and  Indian  days  with  a  Wild 
West  party,  and  a  switch  of  nationalities  to  the 
ultra-sophistication  of  gay  Frenchmen  for  the 
Paree  party. 

The  Alpha  Epsilon  Pi  badge  which  consists  of 
33  pearls  on  a  gold  base,  was  first  seen  at  Kent 
after  the  national  established  Phi  Deuteron  chap- 


ter on  April  9,  1949.  The  fraternity  was  founded 
originally  on  November  7,  1913  at  New  York 
University.  The  colors  of  the  organization  are 
blue  and  gold. 

Alpha  Epsilon  Pi  is  currently  sharing  its  mem- 
bers with  several  leading  campus  organizations. 
Among  KSU  leaders  who  wear  the  pearl  and  gold 
badges  of  AE  Pi  are  the  University  social  chair- 
man; the  president,  vice  president  and  correspond- 
ing secretary  of  Hillel;  the  treasurer  of  the  Blue 
and  Gold  political  part;  and  the  former  leader  of 
Inter-fraternity  council. 

Officers  running  AE  Pi  are:  Ralph  Zucker, 
president;  Neil  Mj'ers,  scribe;  Roy  Berko,  vice

added  a  prominent  name  to  the  Kent  State  fra- 
ternity circles  when  it  was  nationalized  as  Alpha 
Tau  Omega  in  February,  1953. 

Established  in  1865,  ATO  maintains  a  high  rank 
in  national  inter-fraternity  circles  and  the  local 
chapter  concedes  no  quarter.

sports,  it  also  copped  top  honors  in  the  Penny 
Carnival  and  won  second  place  in  Homecoming 
house  decoration  competitions.

Founded  nationally  at  Bethany  College  in  1859, 
Delta  Tau  Delta's  Kent  State  chapter  garnered  a 
whole  series  of  first  place  awards  during  its  third 
year  on  campus. 

The  men  copped  top  fraternity  honors  for  Cam- 
pus Day  floats  with  their  150-foot  long  train  which 
depicted  Ohio's  progress  on  its  flat  cars.  Complete 
with  engine  and  caboose,  the  float  also  took  the 
Ohio  Sesquicentennial  committee's  award  for  the 
best  float  on  a  sesqui  theme. 

Later  in  Campus  Day,  the  Delts  sang  their  way 
to  an  unprecedented  tie  for  first  place  in  Songfest 
while  another  first  place  trophy  was  gathered  in 
when  the  men  won  the  Regatta  Tug  of  War.  They 
also  placed  third  in  the  Regatta  rowing  competi- 
tion and  took  third  place  with  their  Can  Can  line 


Homecoming  house  decoration. 

In  sports,  the  Delta  Shelter  residents  came  to 
the  front  by  defeating  their  Greek  competitors  in 
the  volleyball  playoffs,  then  went  on  to  win  the 
all-University  title.  They  also  won  third  place  in 
wrestling  last  year. 

Besides  their  trophy-taking  activities,  the  Delts 
annually  sponsor  a  Winter  formal  and  the  Delta 
Queen  dinner-dance  during  the  Spring.  DTD  par- 
ents are  honored  at  the  Dad's  Day  and  Parents' 
Day  festivities. 

The  fraternity  has  three  men  listed  in  "Who's 
Who  .  .  .  ";  five  varsity  lettermen;  six  members  in 
honoraries,  and  six,  including  the  president  and 
secretary,  of  Blue  Key;  president  of  SAM;  and 
editor  and  business  manager  of  the  K-Book.

Delta  Upsilon,  KSU's  first  national  fraternity, 
was  established  on  campus  in  1948.  Founded  at 
Williams  College  in  1834,  the  fraternity  chose 
gold  and  blue  as  its  fraternity  colors. 

The  chapter  celebrated  its  sixth  anniversary 
last  Fall  by  capturing  the  Delta  Upsilon  national 
award  for  public  relations  for  the  second  consecu- 
tive year. 

The  Delta  U's  traditionally  open  Campus  Day 
festivities  with  the  presentation  of  their  K-Girl 
at  ceremonies  on  front  campus.  This  year  they 
continued  worthwhile  Help  Week  projects,  pre- 
sented an  all-University  serenade,  and  partici- 
pated in  the  Freshman-week  show,  "Prevue  of 
KSU." 

Socially,   the   Homecoming   dinner-dance   and 


the  Winter  and  Spring  formals  were  the  high- 
lights of  the  year.  First  place  trophies  were  taken 
for  Pork  Barrel  and  Campus  Day  Songfest.  A 
second  place  was  gained  at  Penny  Carnival,  while 
third  place  awards  were  won  for  scholarship  and 
intramural  athletics. 

Outstanding  DU"s  on  campus  include  George 
Yost,  co-captain  of  the  baseball  squad;  Neil  Hel- 
man, president  of  Inter-fraternity  council;  Chuck 
Miller,  managing  editor  of  the  Stater  and  sports 
editor  of  the  Chestnut  Burr;  Tom  Meinhardt,

This  year  is  being  claimed  as  one  of  the  best 
by  the  men  of  Kappa  Sigma.  They  began  the  year 
by  taking  the  scholarship  cup  with  a  2.4  average. 

Kappa  Sigma's  next  winning  feat  was  captur- 
ing the  Homecoming  decorations.  In  intra-murals 
the  men  from  S.  Willow  took  a  first  place  in  swim- 
ming and  second  in  bowling.  Third  place  awards 
went  to  the  Kappa  Sigs  for  their  performances  in 
Pork  Barrel  and  Songfest. 

The  Kappa  Sigs  were  founded  as  a  local  fra- 
ternity on  the  Kent  campus  in  1931  and  in  1950 
were  accepted  into  the  national. 

The  fraternity  has  its  share  of  the  big  wheels 
on  campus.  Jim  Itin  and  Ted  Kopfman  are  mem- 
bers of  Blue  Key.  Allan  Lowe  and  Dan  Weber 
belong  to  Gamma  Theta  Upsilon  honorary  fra- 
ternity.

Although  it  is  now  the  only  local  Greek  fra- 
ternity on  campus,  Phi  Gamma  Theta  is  hoping  to 
join  the  national  ranks  in  the  near  future.  The 
men  are  petitioning  Phi  Delta  Theta  fraternity. 

With  a  second  place  in  Pork  Barrel  and  a  third 
place  in  Campus  Day  float  competition  to  boost 
the  morale,  the  Phi  Gams  returned  to  campus  this 
Fall  and  promptly  moved  into  a  new  house  at 
320  E.  College  St. 

For  the  first  time  last  Spring,  the  Phi  Gams 
opened  their  Rowboat  Regatta  Tug  of  War  to 
sororities.  The  Tug  was  originated  by  the  chapter 
to  add  to  the  number  of  attractions  for  students  at 
the  Regatta.  With  the  inclusion  of  Greek  women 
in  the  big  pull  contest,  Phi  Gam  now  offers  two 
trophies  for  Tug  of  War  winners  each  year. 


Another  unusual  event  originated  by  the  group 
is  its  annual  Corduroy  and  Tweed.  To  break  the 
monotony  of  Spring  formals,  the  fraternity  estab- 
lished an  all-day  outing  at  a  near-by  country  club 
to  highlight  its  Spring  quarter  activities. 

On  the  philanthropic  side.  Phi  Gam  annually 
entertains  deaf  children  from  Kent  and  the  sur- 
rounding area  with  a  party  at  the  house.  A 
Winter  formal  and  the  annual  Founders  Day 
banquet  round  out  the  year. 

Phi  Gam  has  won  the  University  softball  cham- 
pionship for  two  consecutive  seasons,  and  also 
garnered  third  place  in  basketball  competition 
this  year.  Also  along  the  athletic  line,  Sonji 
Herzberg  was  selected  to  captain  the  1954  Golden 
Flash  football  squad.

Starting  the  year  of?  with  a  bang,  Phi  Kappa 
Tau  amazed  its  fellow  Greeks  and  the  student 
body  in  general  by  creating  one  of  the  most  un- 
usual Homecoming  house  decorations  on  campus. 
Instead  of  the  usual  mass  of  crepe  paper  and 
paper  mache,  an  entire  junk  yard  was  moved  to  the 
Phi  Tau  lawn  to  carry  out  their  slogan,  "KSU 
Scraps  the  Thundering  Herd."  Although  it  did  not 
win  when  the  judges'  points  were  tallied,  the 
decoration  was  a  conversation  piece  for  weeks. 

After  staging  a  redecorating  job  on  the  first 
floor  of  their  house  at  417  E.  Main  St.,  the  Phi 
Taus  settled  down  for  a  big  round  of  social  and 
chapter  activities.  The  dinner  dance  held  in  ob- 
servance of  Founders  Day  highlighted  Winter 
quarter  while  Spring  quarter  brought  the  formal 


dance  and  selection  of  the  Phi  Tau  Dream  Girl. 

In  intra-murals,  Phi  Tau  copped  the  inter- 
fraternity  bowling  championship,  then  went  on  to 
win  the  all-University  keggler's  title.  Brother  Bill 
Hookway  topped  other  contestants  for  the  Duke 
of  Kent  title  by  a  large  majority. 

Founded  in  1906,  Phi  Kappa  Tau  installed  its 
KSU  chapter  in  1949.  The  Kent  group  was  origin- 
ally established  by  a  group  of  Akron  U  transfer 
students  who  belonged  to  the  national  at  Akron  U.

Deciding  that  Sherman  St.  was  too  far  off  the 
beaten  track  for  Greeks,  Phi  Sigma  Kappa  moved 
up  to  the  unofficial  fraternity  and  sorority  row  on 
Main  St.  this  year.  In  acquiring  a  new  residence 
at  324  E.  Main,  the  men  also  acquired  the  distinc- 
tion of  being  the  only  organization  to  have  two 
houses.  Located  behind  the  main  house  is  a  second 
one  which  has  been  dubbed  the  Phi  Sig  "annex." 

Fall  quarter  was  hectic,  with  redecoration  of 
the  new  house  taking  up  most  Phi  Sig's  time.  In 
between  coats  of  paint,  they  moved  in  new  carpet- 
ing and  furniture. 

When  the  Interfraternity  scholarship  points 
were  tallied  up.  Phi  Sigma  Kappa  was  in  second 
place  for  their  combined  point  averages. 

Despite  the  high  rank  attained  for  scholastic 


excellence.  Phi  Sig  also  finds  time  to  join  the 
organizations  listing  Winter  and  Spring  formals 
on  their  social  calendars.  In  addition,  each  year 
they  honor  a  KSU  coed  during  Winter  quarter  by 
selecting  her  to  reign  over  the  all-University 
Snowball  Dance,  held  this  year  at  the  University 
Club  in  Akron  during  January. 

Among  the  Phi  Sigma  Kappa's  who  are  active 
in  campus  organizations  are  Jack  Gattozzi,  Sopho- 
more Student  Council  representative,  and  a  dele- 
gate to  the  Blue  and  Gold  political  caucus. 

Founded  on  March  15,  1873,  Phi  Sigma  Kappa 
established  its  chapter  at  Kent  on  May  29,  1950.  A 
year  earlier,  Tau  Kappa  local  fraternity  had  come 
into  existence,  and  it  was  this  group  that  became 
the  present  Phi  Sig.

Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon  is  the  youngest  national 
fraternity  at  Kent.  Formerly  Sigma  Delta,  it  be- 
came the  twelfth  national  on  December  5,  1953. 

The  old  Sigma  Delta  was  founded  at  Kent  State 
Canton  in  1949.  That  same  year  they  became  a 
social  club  and  the  following  year  a  local  frater- 
nity on  campus. 

This  past  year,  the  SAE's  placed  third  in  May 
Day  Relays  and  sponsored  the  runner-up  for  Row- 
boat  Regatta  queen.  In  addition,  Al  Kilgore  won 
the  all-University  wrestling  championship. 

Fraternity  men  in  campus  organizations  in- 
clude Dean  Boose  and  Art  Getz,  members  of  Men's 
Union,  and  Dick  Johnson,  treasurer  of  Student

tackle  on  All  Mid-American  team  last  year,  and 
Dick  Bartfay,  who  will  captain  the  1954  KSU 
Golden  Flash  track  team.  Other  SAE  monogram 
winners  are  Lowell  Busick,  wrestling;  Kirk  Rixon, 
basketball;  and  Charles  Cezscicky,  football. 

The  local  chapter,  located  at  224  East  Erie 
Street,  has  always  maintained  a  one  hundred  per- 
cent membership  in  the  Booster  Club.  Exchange 
dinners  are  usually  held  at  least  once  a  week  with 
a  sorority.  The  SAE's  also  have  two  formals  a 
year.  At  their  annual  Spring  dance,  the  sweet- 
heart  of   the   fraternity    is   chosen    by    members. 

The  current  officers  of  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon 
are:  Dick  Johnson,  president;  Dean  Boose,  vice- 
president;  Dick  Bartfay,  secretary;  and  Andy 
Lokie,  treasurer.

Sigma  Nu  continued  its  supremacy  over  other 
fraternities  on  the  intra-mural  sports  front  last 
year  by  capturing  the  intra-mural  title  for  the 
seventeenth  time  in  twenty-one  years. 

Since  March,  1953,  the  men  from  Columbus 
St.  have  won  first  place  athletic  trophies  in 
track,  table  tennis  and  golf.  In  softball  they 
placed  second  while  in  the  Gamma  Phi  Beta- 
sponsored  May  Day  relays,  Sigma  Nu  guys  won 
top  honors. 

Founded  nationally  at  Virginia  Military  Insti- 
tute in  1869,  Sigma  Nu  was  established  at  KSU 
in  March,  1949.  Formerly  the  group  was  Delta 
Phi  Sigma  local. 

Tops  among  the  fraternity's  own  social  affairs 
are  the  White  Rose  formal,  the  Scummers  Hops, 


presented  by  each  pledge  class;  and  the  Kappa 
Sigma  Nu  Homecoming  celebration.  The  Kappa 
Sigma  Nu  tradition,  begun  by  returning  GI's  in 
1946,  includes  a  football  game  with  the  GI  jug  as 
stakes,  and  an  all-University  dance. 

Included  in  the  Sigma  Nu  membership  roster 
are  eight  varsity  lettermen.  They  are  Art  De- 
Genaro and  Kyle  Worrall,  basketball;  Joe  Kemp

Although  it  is  a  young  fraternity  on  the  Kent 
campus,  Sigma  Phi  Epsilon  is  proving  to  older 
chapters  that  it  will  soon  become  a  leading  one. 

The  national  fraternity,  born  in  1901,  accepted 
the  local  Chi  Alpha  group  during  Spring,  1953. 

As  men  of  the  violet  and  scarlet  complete  their 
first  year  as  a  national,  they  can  proudly  review 
achievements  of  that  period. 

First  off,  the  Big  Ep's  copped  first  place  in  the 
Kent  Stater's  annual  Rowboat  Regatta.  It  was  the 
rowing  of  Vernon  Southworth  that  guided  the 
craft  to  a  first  place  trophy. 

It  was  only  a  short  time  later  when  the  brothers 
copped  second  place  honors  in  songfest  competi- 
tion on  Campus  Day. 

Among  Sig  Ep's  top   social   activities  are  the 


annual  Founder's  Day  banquet  and  the  Spring 
formal  dance. 

Representing  132  S.  Lincoln  in  campus  activi- 
ties are  Marion  Moser,  who  belongs  to  Blue  Key 
and  Delta  Phi  Alpha;  Don  Day,  a  member  of  Men's 
Union,  and  Ken  Pedlar,  in  Scabbard  and  Blade. 

Prominent  among  the  organization's  various 
activities  is  the  presentation  of  a  yearly  scholar- 
ship to  a  freshmen  who  excels  academically. 

Officers  are:  Marion  Moser,  president;  Ken 
Pedlar,  vice-president;  Roger  Cole,  comptroller; 
Karl  Miller,  secretary;  George  Smith,  historian. 

The  Sig  Eps,  with  a  brand  new  house  located 
at  132  S.  Lincoln  St.,  are  ready  to  make  their 
second  year  as  a  national  even  a  better  one  than 
the  first.

Scrapping  all  mementoes  of  its  days  as  a  local 
fi-aternity,  Phi  Beta  Phi  switched  the  sign  on  the 
front  of  its  house  during  Spring  quarter  and  at 
the  same  time  switched  charters  to  become  the 
110th  chapter  of  Theta  Chi. 

During  their  last  days  as  a  local  organization, 
members  of  the  fraternity  staged  a  mock  funeral 
for  the  late  Phi  Beta  Phi.  With  their  sisters  of 
Alpha  Chi  Omega  sorority  shedding  the  official 
tears,  the  men  held  a  torchlight  service  during 
which  a  miniature  coffin,  containing  many  souve- 
nirs of  the  glorious  past,  was  "entombed"  with 
proper  rites  and  solemnity. 

As  Delta  Tau  chapter  of  the  97-year-old  na- 
tional fraternity,  the  men  changed  their  group's 
colors  to  red  and  white.   Unchanged,  however,  is 


the  annual  round  of  social  events  which  is  high- 
lighted by  the  Winter  and  Spring  formals,  and 
the  yearly  aid  to  underprivileged  youngsters. 

With  Fall  quarter  came  the  first  group  of  KSU 
men  to  be  pledged  to  Theta  Chi  fraternity.  The 
group  defeated  an  opposing  Akron  U  Theta  Chi 
chapter  in  a  grid  battle,  then  turned  its  attention 
to  a  reception  for  its  housemother. 

Active  in  campus  circles  this  year  have  been 
Theta  Chi's  Steve  Turchik,  business  manager  of 
the  Stater,  John  Berea,  "Who's  Who  .  .  .";  Bob 
Lynes,  Blue  Key  treasurer,  and  a  member  of 
Gamma  Theta  Upsilon;  letterman  Robert  Smith, 
who  is  also  publicity  chairman  of  the  Blue  and 
Gold  political  party;  and  Blue  Key  members  Berea, 
Smith,  Turchik  and  Dick  Dearing.

Theta  Kappa  Phi,  the  only  Cathohc  fraternity 
on  campus,  had  its  beginning  in  the  mid  1940's 
when  the  Friars  Club  was  formed.  The  Catholic 
men  who  organized  the  Friars  saw  their  ambitions 
become  reality  when  the  national  group  estab- 
lished its  KSU  chapter  in  December,  1949. 

The  fraternity,  founded  at  Lehigh  University 
in  1919,  chose  red,  gold  and  silver  as  official  colors. 
With  its  primary  aim  of  enhancing  each  member's 
spiritual  life  goes  a  desire  to  keep  socially  active. 

The  house  at  225  E.  College  is  the  site  of  the 
best  fraternity  library  on  campus,  as  evidenced 
by  the  Theta  Kap's  unequalled  record  in  winning 
Manchester  awards.  This  award  goes  to  the  fra- 
ternity maintaining  the  most  complete  library. 

In  1953,  the  Theta  Kaps  copped  a  trophy  in  the 


Beard  Growing  contest  for  entering  more  mem- 
bers in  the  competition  than  any  other  campus 
group.  In  line  with  the  primary  aim  of  the  na- 
tional organization  is  the  local  chapter's  constant 
work  as  the  backbone  of  the  Newman  Club  for  all 
Catholic  students. 

More  than  meeting  the  requirements  set  up  by 
the  national  office,  the  Theta  Kappa  Phi  branch  at 
KSU  was  awarded  the  official  scholarship  award 
for  1952-53. 

Along  the  social  line  are  the  fraternity's  annual 
Gold  Cup  formal,  the  Sweetheart  formal  and  the 
traditional  Sweater  Hop.  When  combined  with 
exchange  dinners  and  sorority  parties,  these 
events  provide  a  big  social  whirl  and  keep  the 
Theta  Kappa  Phi's  hopping.

Panhellenic  Council 


OFFICERS:  Doris  Dalitz,  secretary;  Livy 
Hemming,  pres.;  Dean  Margaret  Forsythe, 
advisor;   and    Rosemary   Yalech,    treasurer. 


Late  in  the  Spring,  Panhellenic  council  created  a  minor 
furor  in  Greek  circles  on  campus  by  slashing  the  membership 
quota  for  sororities.  Set  up  at  a  total  of  60  several  years  ago, 
the  limit  was  reduced  to  55  members  for  each  of  the  eight 
national  organizations. 

During  Fall  quarter,  council  directed  a  two-week  formal 
rush  period,  then  set  up  the  regulations  to  govern  informal 
sorority  rushing  for  the  remainder  of  the  year.  Acting  as  a 
go-between  for  sororities  and  unaffiliated  women,  Panhellenic 
sets  up  the  rules  for  rushing,  then  acts  as  a  jury  for  any 
infraction  of  them. 

Consisting  of  three  delegates  from  each  sorority,  Panhel- 
lenic this  year  was  guided  by  Assistant  Dean  of  Women 
Margaret  J.  Forsythe.  In  living  up  to  the  creed  of  the  National 
Council,  the  organization  strives  to  make  sorority  life  an  oppor- 
tunity for  each  affiliated  woman  to  prepare  wisely  for  her 
future  as  a  citizen  in  a  democracy. 

As  one  step  toward  the  achievement  of  this  goal,  KSU's 
Panhellenic  council  encourages  high  scholastic  standards  among 
sorority  women  by  annually  awarding  a  scholarship  cup  to  the 
organization  maintaining  the  highest  point  average.  The  cup  is 
presented  to  the  president  of  the  outstanding  group  at  the 
Honors  Day  assembly.

Interfraternity  Council 

Although  the  members  of  Interfraternity  Council  are  only 
a  minute  portion  of  the  large  group  of  affiliated  men  students 
on  campus,  they  are  the  governing  body  for  the  fraternities  as 
a  whole. 

To  regulate,  integrate  and  set  up  rules  for  fraternity  rushing 
is  perhaps  the  most  important  function  of  the  council.  It  is 
also  responsible,  through  its  member-organizations,  for  a  posi- 
tive contribution  to  the  primary  functions  of  the  University. 
The  council  encourages  personal  development  of  its  members 
on  the  intellectual,  physical  and  social  levels. 

Organized  in  1909,  the  national  IFC  is  set  up  for  convenience 
as  well  as  efficiency.  Each  fraternity  is  equally  represented  on 
the  board  by  its  president  and  one  elected  member.  The  26 
delegates  at  KSU  make  it  possible  for  all  13  fraternities  to 
transact  business  concerning  Greek  men. 

A  lively  spirit  of  competition  is  promoted  by  the  council 
through  intramural  athletics.  Trophies  are  awarded  to  the 
winning  organizations  in  nine  major  sports,  with  a  separate 
award  going  to  the  fraternity  which  garners  the  most  wins 
during  the  year. 


IFC     OFFICERS:  Ben     McGinnis,     assistant 

dean     of     men;  Neil     Helman,     president; 

Dick     Deoring,  secretary;     Jack     Gatozzi,

college    students,    and    the    ACC's    are    no    exceptions.

The  American  Commons  club  opened  wide  the 
door  to  fraternal  spirit  when  it  came  to  KSU  six 
years  ago.  With  ideals  of  brotherhood,  democracy, 
University  first,  and  an  open  door  policy,  the  or- 
ganization is  now  firmly  established  at  Kent. 

The  national  American  Association  of  Com- 
mons Clubs  was  started  in  1921  at  Denison.  Its 
founders  hoped  to  have  an  organization  that 
placed  education  first,  one  without  religious  or 
class  discrimination  and  one  that  would  be  finan- 
cially feasible. 

In  1947,  two  Kent  State  men  heard  of  the  or- 
ganization, and  its  ideals  appealed  to  them.  They 
promoted  the  first  official  meeting  of  the  Kent 
State  Commons  club  in  January,  1948.  The  chap- 
ter grew  rapidly  and  the  following  year  became 


one  of  five  national  branches. 

Continually  participating  in  the  independent 
division  of  campus  competitions,  ACC  copped  first 
place  at  Penny  Carnival,  then  placed  third  in  both 
Songfest  and  Homecoming  events. 

A  busy  social  schedule  keeps  ACC  men  jump- 
ing throughout  the  year.  Events  include  Winter 
and  Spring  formals,  houseparties,  a  Senior  ban- 
quet, an  activation  dinner-dance  and  undergrad- 
uate-alum picnics. 

Joining  other  groups  in  the  big  trek  to  new 
homes,  ACC  hung  up  its  sign  at  623  East  Main  St. 
this  year. 

An  American  letter  national  group,  ACC  has 
its  members  taking  part  in  many  campus  activi- 
ties including  Pi  Gamma  Mu  and  Psi  Chi.

They  saw  duty  in  all  branches  of  the  armed 
forces.  Returning  home,  their  minds  turned  to 
ambitious  projects.  They  trekked  to  Kent  by  the 
hundreds  and  boosted  the  school's  enrollment  to 
near-record  figures. 

The  germ  of  banding  together  was  planted  in 
the  minds  of  four  young  veterans  in  the  Spring 
quarter  of  1953.  From  this  nucleus  sprang  one  of 
the  newest,  but  most  powerful  organizations  on 
the  campus.  The  group  was  given  added  impetus 
by  the  cessation  of  hostilities  in  Korea.  Over  700 
young  veterans  flooded  the  campus  in  the  Fall 
quarter  of  1953. 

The  veterans  signed  into  every  college  in  the 
University.  They  made  ready  candidates  for  every 
social  organization.    Their  influence  grew. 


The  club  itself  provided  a  medium  for  them  to 
meet  and  gain  new  friends,  to  strive  together,  to 
raise  for  themselves  a  more  potent  voice  in  cam- 
pus affairs,  and  to  integrate  themselves  into  the 
social  life  on  campus. 

1953  was  a  formative  year.  The  club  had  its 
share  of  normal  growing  pains,  but  emerged  with 
a  hard  core  of  trained  men  capable  of  running  a 
well  balanced  club.  The  social  committee  organ- 
ized and  carried  through  an  increasing  number  of 
social  events  topped  off  by  a  highly  successful 
dance  late  in  January. 

The  number  of  veterans  should  increase  and 
the  club  grow  stronger  as  the  services  pour  out 
a  continuous  stream  of  young  men  with  visions 
of  a  higher  education.

The  Seniors 


Known  to  statisticians  as  "those  depression 
babies",  the  Class  of  1954  has  grown  to  adulthood 
under  the  most  adverse  of  conditions. 

As  youngsters,  its  members  first  entered  the 
academic  world  under  the  shadow  of  their  elders' 
preoccupation  with  events  across  a  wide  sea  where 
some  man  named  Hitler  was  marching  through 
Poland. 

Within  three  years,  they  had  lost  all  opportun- 
ity for  a  childhood  in  a  peaceful  America.  Pearl 
Harbor  meant  little  to  them  on  Dec.  7,  1941  when 
radio  newsmen  solemnly  announced  that  it  had 
been  bombed.  In  their  protected  homes,  it  was  dif- 
ficult to  understand  the  meaning  of  a  world  war. 

But  it  soon  became  apparent  that  something 
was  terribly  wrong.  Fathers  and  older  brothers 
were  being  kissed  goodby  in  crowded  railroad  sta- 
tions; the  older  generation  spoke  of  little  other 
than  strange  sounding  places  that  were  being 
turned  into  battlefields,  and  shortages  that  kept 
Mom  busy  counting  ration  points.  The  bubble 
gum,  candy  bar  and  new-shoes  twice-a-year  rou- 
tine was  shattered. 

Bubble  gum  reappeared  in  the  stores,  and  with 
it  came  peace.  The  year  was  1945.  Those  destined 
to  be  the  college  graduates  of  1954  had  become  too 
sophisticated  to  use  the  jaw  exerciser  but  just 
sophisticated  enough  to  discuss  United  Nations 
progress  in  civics  classes. 

Their  entrance  into  the  whirl  of  campus  life 
was  dimmed  by  other  departures  .  .  .  departures 
of  friends  and  relatives  for  a  little-known  far 
eastern  peninsula  where  the  UN  was  carrying  on 
a  "police  action." 

The  Class  of  1954.  Depression,  war,  distrust  and 
uncertainty  are  its  heritage.  As  the  younger  gen- 
eration, its  members  lived  through  world-rocking 
events  caused  by  a  now-past  generation.  Now,  as 
adults,  they  are  looked  up  to  as  the  educated  hope 
of  the  world  for  better  things. 


0 


SINCE  THE  graduating  class  entered  college  in  the  Fall 
of  1950,  its  members  have  been  directly  and  indirectly 
affected  by  history-making  events.  In  1951  (top),  the 
Korean  strife  was  fast  becoming  a  major  war.  1952 
(top  center),  saw  Dwight  D.  Eisenhower  landslide  into 
the  nation's  top  post.  Elizabeth  of  England  and  her 
husband,  Philip,  were  top  figures  in  the  Coronation 
of  1953.  Then  there  is  1954,  the  big  year  for 
college    Seniors;    their    year    of    hope    and    uncertainty.

Business  Administration 


ARDEN  L.  ALLYN,  dean  of  the  College  of  Business 
Administration,  is  a  graduate  of  Ohio  Wesleyan. 
Dean  Allyn  has  been  with  the  University  for  20 
years,    and    head    of    BA    since    its    founding     in     1937. 


Tremendous  Growth  Is 
Seen  In  BA  College 


Out  of  the  1930  depression  depths  mushroomed 
Kent  State's  youngest  division,  the  College  of  Bus- 
iness Administration. 

Shooting  up  almost  overnight  from  one  grad- 
uate in  its  first  year  to  150  this  year,  from  the 
curricula  of  97-credit  hours  in  the  beginning  to 
almost  five  times  that  many  at  present,  the  College 
of  Business  Administration  has  graduated  over 
2000  young  men  and  women  well-trained  to  take 
their  places  in  the  business  world. 

To  keep  pace  with  a  rapidly  changing  society, 
the  College  has  constantly  revamped  programs  and 
added  special  new  courses.  During  the  second 
World  War,  it  introduced  several  courses  on 
foreign  relations  and  trade  to  its  curriculum.  This 
adaptability  has  proven  to  be  one  of  divisions 
most   important   features. 

A  student  enrolled  in  the  College  of  Business 
Administration  may  work  for  either  the  bachelor 
of  secretarial  science  degree  or  a  bachelor  of  sci- 
ence title.  The  college  also  offers  a  pre-law 
curriculum. 

Among  the  college's  objectives,  three  are  out- 
standing. It  seeks  to  give  each  student  a  good 
foundation  in  liberal  education,  to  help  each  one 
choose  his  major  field  of  interest  by  giving  him  a 
background  of  general  business  information,  and 
finally,  to  train  the  student  in  his  chosen  field  of 
specialization.

College 


Of 


Education 


New  Extension  Branch 
Aids  Teacher  Demand 


Heeding  the  nation-wide  cry  for  more  and 
better  teachers,  the  College  of  Education  this  year 
opened  an  extension  program  in  Canton  to  give 
more  men  and  women  in  northeastern  Ohio  the 
opportunity  to  enroll  in  courses. 

Already  the  oldest  and  largest  division  of  the 
University  with  a  well-established  position,  the 
college  has  not  rested  on  its  laurels,  but  is  ever 
striving  to  improve. 

The  education  faculty  takes  a  keen  and  per- 
sonal interest  in  each  student  majoring  in  the 
field.  Departmentally  speaking,  each  future  tea- 
cher goes  through  a  strenuous  round  of  tests  and 
interviews  to  determine  his  aptitude  for  a  teach- 
ing career.  Each  is  counseled  concerning  the 
myriad  problems  which  confront  undergraduate. 

To  give  students  valuable  first-hand  experi- 
ence in  their  chosen  field,  a  program  of  student 
teaching  has  been  set  up  by  the  college  in  conjunc- 
tion with  schools  of  the  Kent  area.  By  actually 
working  with  youngsters  in  the  classroom,  the 
future  teacher  is  able  to  gain  a  valuable  insight 
into  the  problems  that  will  face  him  when  he 
enters  the  profession. 

By  giving  the  undergraduate  education  major 
the  most  thorough  training  possible,  the  college 
realizes  that  it  is  producing  good  teachers  who 
will  be  capable  of  giving  America's  younger  gen- 
erations the  instruction  so  vital  to  the  survival  of 
democracy. 


ROBERT  I.  WHITE,  dean  of  the  College  of  Educa- 
tion, has  taught  classes  from  elementary  through 
college  levels.  A  University  of  Chicago  graduate, 
he  became  dean  of  KSU's  largest  college  in   1946.

Liberal  Arts 


LA  Enters  25th  Year 
As  University  College 

Celebrating  the  silver  anniversary  of  its  found- 
ing this  year,  the  College  of  Libei-al  Arts  can  look 
back  on  25  years  of  almost  phenomenal  growth. 

Since  1929  when  an  act  of  the  General  Assem- 
bly provided  for  the  establishment  of  courses 
leading  to  degrees  of  bachelor  of  arts  and  bachelor 
of  science,  the  college  has  served  its  own  students 
by  giving  them  the  broad  education  they  seek.  It 
has  also  cooperated  with  the  other  two  colleges  by 
providing  courses  that  constitute  a  large  portion 
of  their  curricula.  With  the  addition  of  the  liberal 
arts  division,  Kent  State  Normal  became  Kent 
State  College. 

In  studying  for  the  bachelor  of  arts  degree,  the 
student  follows  a  program  in  which  breadth  takes 
first  place  and  specialization  is  secondary.  In  op- 
position, the  college  frankly  states  that  the  BS 
degree  represents  a  program  in  which  specializa- 
tion takes  precedence,  but  does  not  eliminate  the 
investigation  into  other  areas  of  learning  which 
are  necessary  to  a  firm  education. 

Courses  not  universally  found  in  liberal  arts 
schools  are  included  along  with  the  regular  langu- 
age, history  and  science  departments  at  Kent 
State.  Among  these  are  art,  journalism,  home 
economics,  health  and  physical  education,  music 
and  speech. 

Thus  liberal  arts,  generally  known  as  KSU's 
"middleman"  among  the  colleges,  plays  a  part  in 
the  career  of  almost  every  student  enrolled  in  the 
University. 


ERIC  N.  RACKHAM,  dean  of  the  College  of  Liber- 
al Arts,  with  his  friendly  direct  manner  has  won 
many  friends  since  coming  to  Kent  State  Univer- 
sity   from    the    University    of    Colorado     in     1952.

The  Standouts 

History  has  shown  that  there  are  always 
some  men  and  women  who  stand  out  from 
their  environment  and  a  university  campus  is 
no  exception.  Because  of  a  characteristic  or 
ability,  some  students  stand  out  among  their 
fellows. 

A  college  student  may  be  considered  out- 
standing because  of  high  scholarship.  He  may 
show  great  leadership  ability  or  may  display 
a  fine  character.  Others  are  noted  for  their 
unceasing  service  to  the  University. 

Some  rank  above  their  colleagues  because 
of  participation  in  extracurricular  activities. 
Then  there  are  the  campus  beauties  who  are 
chosen  as  queens  to  reign  over  festive  occa- 
sions. 

With  all  this  goes  personal  popularity,  the 
intangible  asset  which  makes  a  student  loved 
and  respected  by  others,  and  which  is  an  im- 
portant part  of  becoming  the  legendary 
"BWOC." 

Just  as  history  records  the  achievements 
of  its  famous  personages,  so  Kent  State 
takes  pride  in  recognizing  and  recording  the 
activities  of  its  outstanding  students. 

Each  year  several  are  honored  by  inclu- 
sion in  the  pages  of  "Who's  Who  in  Ameri- 
can Colleges  and  Universities."  At  the  end 
of  each  quarter,  the  three  colleges  of  the 
University  issue  the  names  of  those  students 
who  excel  in  scholastic  endeavors  on  the 
Dean's  lists.  Others  receive  recognition  at 
the  Honors  Day  assembly. 

The  yearbook,  too,  salutes  those  men  and 
women  who,  in  the  opinion  of  the  editorial 
staff,  deserve  special  mention  for  their  out- 
standing characteristics.

Dean  Boose 

Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon 

^^Duke^^  Funds  To  Build  Pavilion 


Voted  Duke  of  Kent  for  1954  in  the  annual  fund- 
raising  contest  was  Dean  Boose,  SAE  candidate. 

Proceeds  from  the  Chi  Omega-sponsored  contest 
will  be  used  to  construct  a  pavilion  for  the  use  of  or- 
ganizations on  campus.  To  be  located  in  Engleman 
woods,  the  building  will  include  facilities  for  picnics 
and  other  social  activities.  The  structure  was  designed 
by  architecture  students,  and  will  also  feature  a  fire- 
place set  into  a  wall  of  stone.
