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-
ed.

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.

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.

MOST COEDS REMEMBER ivy-covered Moulton Hall, Freshmen dorm, as their first adventure in college living.
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.
21
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.
24
NOT AS INTERESTING pic-
torially, perhaps, as the
laboratory class, but just
as important in a well-bal-
anced college education are
the mainly-lecture courses.
STUDENT TEACHERS SUPPLEMENT the three R's with many other courses for youngsters in the University School.
The University Offers
A Variety of Classes

LONG HOURS OVER the drawing board and careful atten-
tion to detail are prerequisites to a degree in architecture.

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.

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.

"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.

Highlight Regatta Day
It was down to the lake in rowboats for 2000
Kent Staters on Memorial Day when KSU's annual
take-off on the Ivy League classics splashed onto
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
social activities. Janet de Nobel, editor of the
Stater, presented trophies to winners in the row-
boat races, and to the Regatta queen.

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.

IT WAS Claude Thornhill and his

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.

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.

Four Army Minutes,

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.

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-

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.

MORE THAN 2500 Kent Staters

Sauter-Finegan aggregation with
Vaughn Monroe, the Doodlers,

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.

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.

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.
KEN ESHELMAN,
life during the
19-year-old Sophomore, lost his
1953-54 basketball season.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.
100
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.

urer. As leaders of the graduating class, the trio
will head all of the activities of Senior Week, 1954.
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.
BRIDGE IN the smoker is a
favorite Moulton Hall relaxation.

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.
106
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.

lond. Student council representative; Mrs. Mary McCamp-
bell, head resident; Joy Wheeler, president; Mary Lou

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.

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

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.

The Community Voice of KSU
The director drops his hand. The eyes of the
announcer flash back to his script. The engineer
begins turning the dials on the control board.
Another day of broadcasting from the studios atop
Kent Hall has begun.
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.

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.
122
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.
THE PRINT SHOP gang, Bill Freeman, Sue Leick, Mar-
vin Katz and Bill Caddey check the make-ready for
another Stater edition while compositor Clarence
Ehmche finishes up the details on press preparations.
STATER PHOTOGRAPHERS this year included Jack Walas

for the newspaper during the Winter term, while
Walas wrote the Fall Inquiring Reporter column.

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

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.

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.
138
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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
WESLEY'S CAMPUS DAY float depicted the import-
ance of the Christian religion throughout the world.

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.

advisor to the Newman club, greets Margie Zeph
during a reception given at KSU in his honor last Spring.

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.;

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.

SERVE YOURSELF is the order of the day at a Sun-
day evening UCF supper. An opportunity for students
to relax together informally, the weekly event also
gives them a chance to exchange ideas and opinions.
Eight IS^ational Protestant
religions groups are joined
together in United Chris-
tian Fellowship, organized
at Kent State during 1948.
COFFEE HOUR at the UCF center is a Wednesday after-
noon mid-week break for members. The local group
Is one of only five such organizations in the United
States in which several religions work together.

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,

Kappa, and Orchesis.
AXO Marty Gunn was chosen by Delta Upsilon

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.

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.

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,

ming with activities. Founded in 1902, the sorority
established its KSU chapter on May 17, 1948 after
colonizing a local organization.
Delta Zeta started off by taking second in the
Penny Carnival competition, then went on to win
by a pie at the May Day Relays. Another gold
trophy was tucked away in the case after DZ out-
distanced Chi Omega for first place in Regatta. A
special medal from the Ohio Sesquicentennial
committee went to the chapter for the best soror-
ity Campus Day float depicting the state's 150th
anniversary. The group also won second place
for its Homecoming house decorations.

Gamma Phi Beta alumna in Kent presented the
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
president; Ed Berlin, sentinel; Bill Block, ex-
checquer; and Ronald Lewis, pledge master.

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.
An organization which has been successful in
sports, it also copped top honors in the Penny
Carnival and won second place in Homecoming
house decoration competitions.
The men from 300 E. Main St. picked up second
places in the inter-fraternity track meet, ping
pong competition. May Day relays and Regatta.

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.

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

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.
Bill Barrett was editor of the Kent Stater in
Fall quarter, and is a member of Sigma Delta Chi.

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

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
Council.
SAE varsity lettermen are Al Kilgore, a first
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
and Ted Dickey, swimming; Frank Toncar, wrest-
ling; Bob Phelps, track; Don Burke and John
Tekesky, football.

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.

THE THEME for Theta Kap's Homecoming decoration was Kent's Marshall plan: a victory
over the invading Marshall College "big green." The theme was carried out with golf props.

Bernick, Laura Dalton, Bonnie Meese, Nancy Wilson and Shirley Moore.
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.
210
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,
treasurer; Weir McBride, vice president.
INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL delegates: First row: Mike Van Dress, Dick Cutshall, Marion Moser, Ralph Zucker, Skip
Hombleton and Dom Fallon. Second row: Bob McFerren, Ernie Pope, Ken Wiley, Dick Johnson, Dick Auth and Cal Ratcliff.

American Commons Club
RAIDING THE icebox is always a popular sport with
college students, and the ACC's are no exceptions.
TAKING ADVANTAGE of the perking coffee pot are
Ed Schaefer, Gino Castelli and Joe Santo-Emma.
AMERICAN COMMONS CLUB officers: Kenneth HirschI, secretary; Dick Hutka, president; Ron
Reese, vice president; and David Rubin, treasurer.

AMERICAN COMMONS CLUB: First row; Ronald Reese, Ken HirschI, Dr. Dewey Amner, advisor; Richard Hutka and David
Rubin. Second row; Dan Fedorchak, Steve Jama, Edwin Schaefer, Gino Castelli, Joseph Santa-Emma, John Billey and Ronald
Hansrote.
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.

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.
