"The Memorial Center Fund program is off to a fine start." With these words Dr. Floyd W. Owen, '02, general chair­ man of the fund, keynoted his address at a recent meeting of the Alumni Ad­ visory council. "Since last June, when the proposed memorial was first announced, letters and pledges of enthusiastic support have been received almost daily," Dr. Owen stated. "The opening of the active phase of the fund program on March 1 means that by a concentrated effort among all alumni we will make this fitting World War II memorial a reality." Walter W. Neller, '28, fund vice chair­ man, pointed out at the council meeting that only by the support of such an alumni-giving program will Michigan State ever have a chapel, as well as a suitable international house, since state appropriations will not fill such a need. Student Body Cooperating Neller further said that every dollar subscribed to the Memorial Center fund The student body also is preparing to participate in the Memorial Center will be used for the construction of the Fund program.

By 1960, expected to be the "bottom" for enrollments after the post-veteran decline, the state's schools will have about 120,000 full-time students.

MARCH, 1 947 .... 7 Sports at State By W. Nicholas Kerhawy Sports Editor .Michigan State college has cut an­ other niche for itself in the world of intercollegiate sports. On February 8, the Silver anniversary of the Michigan State Relays was ob­ served. Attracted were more than 500 athletes from 31 universities and col­ leges the country over. An even dozen Relays records and five Jenison fieldhouse marks fell be­ fore the assault of the nation's top track and field men. Illinois, Michigan State. Michigan, Ohio State and Texas led the attack in that order. Former students of Michigan State will remember the Relays as the Indoor Track and Field Carnival that originally enrolled state schools.

8 THE RECORD Nine Hopes to Repeat Excellent Record Of Last Year Coach John H. Kobs' baseball team, the aggregation which led all Michigan State sports in the won-lost column last year, is getting set to pry loose another season. Kobs, marking his 23d year on the Spartan campus, has had a record num­ ber of prospects working indoors while eyeing the southern baseball schedule of 10 games which opens March 21. And, it comes straight from the veteran coach himself that conditions under which his squad has worked out have been most inadequate.

Continuing- our series of "before and after" pictures, we present on the left one of East Lansing's busiest intersections, that of Abbott road and Grand River. The upper picture was taken about 1914 and shows (left) the former Y.M. and Y.W.C.A. build­ ing and the former Weather bureau building. In the 'twenties, when the present entrance drive was made, the "Y" building was sold and moved off campus. It is now at 901 Abbott road where it is the home of Merrill Jones, assistant librarian. This photograph was donated to the College archives by F. H. Mueller, '14, Grand Rapids, member of the State Board of Agriculture. The lower picture, taken by College Pho­ tographer Everett N. Huby, shows the inter­ section as it is today. Now housed in the old Weather bureau are the Placement bureau and the Michigan Press association. After the Weather bureau was moved, the music department occupied the building until the new Music building was erected in 1939.
