MARCH 1, 1953 .... 5 "New" Veterans Return Michigan State College showed its heels to the rest of the nation's colleges and universities in respect to enrollment AFFAIRS OF STATE this past fall.

The Lynch family moved from Grand Rapids to East Lansing in 1933, follow ing a critical injury to the father, William O. Lynch, who died two years later. Mrs. Lynch kept the children in college by taking boarders for the next eight years. With the coming of the war in 1941, she bought a 100-acre farm at Custer, her present home. Mrs. Lynch's yearning for education dates back to 1901, when she started taking summer work at the Ferris Insti tute so she could get certificates for teaching or selling insurance. She took summer work at Ferris for six years, after which she taught in public schools for several years. She also has taken numerous short courses at Michigan State, the latest being in 1949. She is dead serious about her college venture. Pointing out that she is the only one in her family without a college degree, she said, "I certainly don't in tend to be out-done by my children." She says there is a good possibility that BACK TO THE BOOKS: Mrs. Augusta M.

A somber note was added by a doctor's decision that Wesling should abandon the sport at least for awhile because of a heart mal-formation discovered during a routine physical examination. He had no previous knowledge of the condition and had never suffered any apparent ill- effects from physical exercise. The inescapable conclusion is that Pete Newell and John Benington, the two young Spartan mentors who came here from the U. of San Francisco, have done a remarkable job in their two and a half seasons at the Spartan helm. They inherited what was left of material which in 1948-49 had won 9 and lost 12, and which in 1949-50 had hit an all-time low ebb of 4 wins and 18 losses.
