C.A. Rob,_

Greetings to you of the University of Idaho! Your institution, as one ofthe oldest in the slate of Idaho, has a wonderful record of service to thepeople of the state. Through its activities it is to be anticipated thatmany more worthy contributions to the economy of Idaho will be made,both in research and in the training of our young people for service.As the mid-point of the century is reached, we look forward with highhope and fine ambition.

He came by rented livery, that convocation speaker of the year 1900,up the sand-surfaced curving road to the pile of granite steps thatfunneled upward to the single building that was then the University 01Idaho. He came to address a student bcdy of 106 eager youths.

He came by plane, this assembly speaker of 1950. Before landinghe circled the llQO.acre campus studded with nearly a hundred buildings to get the leel 01 the 3500 students he would address on the subject,"America at MidCentury-What Lies Ahead?"

How he comes, the assembly speaker of the year 2000, or if hecomes, rests largely with you, the students of today. If he comes, itwill be to a vastly larger group. Our plans and visions for the futureshould continue at the expanding scale we've just experienced. If hedoesn't come, it will be because we failed to solve the social. politicaland technolog-ical problems we inherited and created. We can meetthe challenge iI we will.

J. E. BUCHANANPresident

The highest honor that d state can conler upon one 01 its public-spirited and responsible citizens is a call to

service as a member of the Board of Regents. The Regents work without pay. Their experience, understanding,

and judgment are given gratis to the citizens of the state through educational guidance.

Idaho's Board is composed of five members appointed by the governor, and one, the State Superintendent

of Schools, who is an ex-officio member. They form the supreme governing body of education in the Gem

state. With their varied experience and backgrounds, board members cannot be given 100 much credit in the

molding of the University of Idaho of today - and tomorrow.

Anne Bollinger's programs failed to arrive on October 6in time for her concert in Idaho. She announced her ownnumbers and asked the audience, "Can you hear me?"

From the rear of Memorial Gym came the reply, "Baby,we don't need to hear you as long as we can see you!"

With that beginning the statuesque blonde from Lewis-ton, Idaho, began singing what she later remembered asthe happiest concert of her tour. The young MetropolitanOpera soprano charmed the audience with her sparklingpersonality and made a triumphant return home that eve-ning.

Two days before Pullman had welcomed Halo Tajo, out-standinq bass-baritone, as the opening artist on the Mos-cow-Pullman Community Concert series.

Pullman was host again for the October 24 appearance ojthe Philharmonic Piano Quartet. The talented members 01the quartet were John Seales, Max Walmer, Bertha Melnik,and Ada Kopel.

On January 6, the Trapp Family Choir sang pre-classicalairs and lilting madrigals in Bohler Gym. The program wasflavored by peasant costumes of their native Tyrol and therarely heard block-flute and spinet music used by thisquaint family.

With a foremost reputation as one of the greatest youngervirtuosos of our time. Tassy Spivakovsky played in MoscowFebruary 16 and amazed his listeners with the sheer wizardry of his violin technique.

Born in Kiev, Russia. and brought to this country beforehe was a year old, Sascha Goroclnitzki'g exceptional talentfor the piano was discovered in childhood and cultivateduntil he stands now in the very limited front row of starpianists. Gorodnilzki played in Moscow March l.

Elena Nikolaidi, Greek contralto, appeared at PullmanMay 6. Though unknown 10 American audiences, she ishighly rated on the continent. Nikolaidi's concert concluded the 194950 series 01 gifted artists.

Elaborate decorations and elegant touches such as the fresh Hawaiian

orchids made the Senior Ball a triumphant affair and one of the biggest

allcampus dances of the year. "Blue Orchids" was the theme for the

ball. Wyatt Howard's well-liked orchestra provided the music for the

highly successful last fling of the Senior class. An orchid lane entrance

directed couples into the ballroom. Original sets depicted many familiar

scenes on the Idaho campus and included a replica of the "I" tower.

The University of Idaho conferredhonorary degrees upon four men fortheir outstanding service and achieve-ment in their fields. They were HarryW. Morrison, president of the world-wide Morrison-Knudsen constructioncompany; Stanly A. Easton, presidentof the Bunker Hill & Sullivan Mining& Concentrating company of Kellog-g;James W. Girard, forestry consultantwith Mason, Bruce and Girard, andformer assistant director of the U.S.Forest Survey; and E. 1. Iddings, DeanEmeritus of the University of Idaho'sCollege of Agriculture.

At the university's 55th annual baccalaureate and commencementservices June 4 and 5, approximately 6,000 guests assembled to wit-ness the largest graduation in Idaho's history.

The Rt. Rev. Frank A. Rhea, Episcopal Bishop of Idaho from Boise,delivered a baccalaureate address that strengthened faith in man-kind's future.

At commencement, Edwin Palmer Hoyt, editor and publisher ofthe Denver Post, spoke of the three "F's"-faith, the future and fear.He was surprised by the hearty response to his craek, "Idaho as astale has more to boast of than baked potatoes and screwball senators."

Graduation day in 1950 marked the successful fulfillment of agreat challenge. The sons and daughters of Idaho who arrived in thefall of 1946 in alarming numbers had received the education theydemanded. Four 'turbulent years of transition and association withtheir alma mater gave them mutual benefits of growth and expansion.

Candidates for degrees in 1950 num-bered 915 with 800 receiving bachelor'sdegrees and the remainder receivingmaster's degrees.

The majority of the veterans of WorldWar 11 had finished their interrupted formal education. Four years of vast changesand improvements in the university'sfacilities and training were the directresult of the Class of '50's influx. A peakof achievement towered high at the mid-century graduation.

"We are not building the new, we are merely replacing the old:' said President Jesse E. Buchanan of theuniversity's $3,788,800 building program. Paced bya suddenly progressive legislature, the program provides for the construction of seven major buildingsand several minor units. Of supreme interest to mostof the students is the Student Union annex, decoratedin soft, soothing, pastel shades of lemon yellow. scar-let, shocking pink and glaring green. This structurefeatures downstairs bowling alleys. a first floor cafe-teria, second floor theatre, ballrcom. coke bar andlounge, and third floor publication offices. A $700,000project, the Student Union building is financed byconds which will be retired by student fees.

The Executioe Board plans the course of student actioities.

Government for the students lind by the students on the University ofIdoho campus is carried out by the ASUI Executive Board. Mode upof nine members elected in the spring by the student body from theincoming junior and senior clo!llsses, the student body president. ondthree ex-officio members, this board discusses and acts upon all stu-dent matters at their weekly meetings.

Elected to the board were: Bob Moulton, president; Ken Briggs,vice-president; Phyllis laRue, secretary; and members Keith Judd, BobMays, Pete Wilson, Bette West, Del Klaus, Bob Ionasand Dick Geisler.

Ex-officio members of the board were the editors of the Idaho Argo-naut, John Martin, and later, Allen Derr; President of AWS, RosemaryFitzgerald; and General Manager Gale Mix. The board was .!Idvisedthis ye

One of the busiest and most progressive boards in campus history,the group was challenged by many problems never faced by pastboards. The new Student Union Building presented varied problemsunder student control and the Executive Board gave birth to a newcommittee to cope with these problems. The student placement systemwas revised to base all appointments on the merit system and m~kepossible ~mpus-wide participation, the orientation program was carried out by the Student Activities Board, and a complete revision ofthe Campus Chest was seen. A coalition committee consisting of fourmembers each of the Independent and Greek parties gave invaluableaid to the Board on matters involving party situations.

Among the further accomplishments of the group this year werethe revised teacher r~ling forms, the appearance of bigger and better"name" bands on the campus, and the financial backing of the BlueKey sponsored. "Kampus Key:'

All the members 01 the Executive Board serve without pay (andsometimes without honor), except for the steak dinner meetings oncea month. And just as seeds planted. in the spring cannot be judgeduntil the harvest in the fall, neither could the electors in the spring of1948 determine how the crop would turn out. But now that the finalharvest has been completed, we see indeed that only the finest seedswere sown.

anniversary on the Idaho campus. With

a membership restricted to men who

intend to enter some phase of journalis-

tic work, this organization endeavors to

improve campus publications and to

maintain relations with editors and pub

Iishers all over the state. The group was

led this year by Newt Cutler and John

The Argonaut dignity received a severe blow when theoffices were moved into the coke room off the cafeteria.This move was necessitated when the workmen removedthe north wall of the previous office in their vicious pathof construction. Things were just a little crowded in thecoke room office, and once a staff member wedged him-self into a chair, he stayed there. It was a chummy,intimate, but highly unsatisfactory, office. Better thingswere hoped for.

WEdnesday, March 8, 1950, is a day that will go downin history, lor it was on that memorable day that theArgonaut staff moved into their new offices on the firstfloor of the new Student Union Building. Large windowswith a beautiful Alpha Chi exposure, fluorescent light-ing, and a genuine aisle for walking added to theenhancement of the new office, which is easily acces-sible from the outside, Bigger and better Argonautsshould emit from this bigger and better office,

people 10 get pictures, to give us information. Soonwe had drawers full of stuff, but we didn't dare photo-moun! our pictures, for in the midst of dust and dirtand wandering visitors, we were afraid all would belost. Besides. didn't they tell us that in two weeks ouroffices would be ready? Well, two weeks-two months-four months-and where were we? In the same spotwith Ihe builders threatening 10 evict us 10 the streets.WE were holding up THEIR progress.

Then it was Easter and still no copy ready to send,We look the bull by the horns and moved our furni-ture to the partly-finished third floor. So what if therewas no tile on the floor? So what if there were nolights, no phone? There were Ihe walls and heat-blessed, blessed heat.

We were overcome with happiness. All this wasworth waiting for. From Easler until late June, wehave risen early and gone to bed late, reluctant tostay away from our offices for a moment. To classeswe went, but we were only waiting for the momentwhen we could relurn to our greywalled, chartreuseceilinged-wilh -a -waterfoun laindownthe-hall officeand begin work. Why were we so eager? Because itwas later than we thought! So we had to enjoy our-selves and lick them stickers for them pictures, writethat copy for them printers, and crop them picturesfor them engravers. In short, dear students, we had toget this book to press!

With fioe fine issues a year.BLOT no longer is thecampus unwanted child.

A direct descendant of the late lamented Blue Bucket

and of Vanlda, Bioi began its fifth yell.r of publication

by offering five issues where there had been four and

presenting the firsl in those long registration lines.

This involved considerable summer editorial work for

Editor Finlayson. It gave its readers a cartoon cover

and forty pages of fell.tures. fiction and humor. and

served as a welcome to the frosh and an introouction

to the "Big Seven" on the campus.

The second issue came a little over a month later,

sporled Homecoming Queen Bea Heltlnder on its

cover, and included action shols of the big day itself.

By this time the circulalion staff had picked up about

one thousand subscribers.

Circulation of the magazine reaches out to alumni in

all corners of the United States, as well as to other engi-neering schools.

Before the mogazine can go to press, there is a greatdeal of work that must be accomplished, such as gatheringnews, soliciting ads and so forth. However, deadlines weremet under the capable mtmagement of editors Dick Toevsond Jim T8"-gue.

A small group of Idaho students started the station in

the fall of 1945. Since then, it has improved by leaps

and bounds. New equipment has been installed since.

KUOI went under ASUI in the spring election. The new

studios that KUOI will occupy next year were especially

constructed for radio production. Soon, the familiar

phrase "broadcasting from the third floor of the Engi-

neering Annex Building" will be heard no more.

Almost three thousand records are the source of most

of the station's programs, which are the familiar disc

jockey type. These records represent popular, semi-

classical and classical music. Transcriptions and script

shows comprise the remainder of the programs.

Before becoming a function of ASUI, KUOI has been

student owned and operated. The only revenue obtained

came from music broadcasts for house dances. The in-

creased funds have made "The Voice of the Vandal" a

station of which all members are proud to be a part.

Mr. Ronald C. KernT""hniCdl Di....clor

After making the rounds of the new shows on Broadway last faiL Jean Collette returned to the Idaho drama departmentfilled with ambitious plans and new ideas for the year ahead. She believes that variety is the spice of playgoing andpresented shows widely different in type. "The Glass Menagerie," "Twelfth Night," and "The Great Big Doorstep"presented serious drama, classical literature, dod grass rool comedy in the three major plays of the season.

Studio productions took on new importance. U Hut productions featured settings dnd original costumes thatwere especially designed. The striking color combinations and stylized lines of period. costumes for "Everyman" andthe Shakespearean production were created by Mation Featherstone.

Mr. Ronald C. Kern served his first year at Idaho as technical director. Miss Collette was able to emphasizeintimate studio prcx:luction and to supervise the preparation of more vehicles for presentation this year, comparativelyfree from worry over the endless details of the backstage organization and prcx:luction that Mr. Kern handled. Inclasses and in practice he put across his ideas for mcx:lern set designs with more eye interest and better sight lines.

Every opportunity to see shows by touring players and the Washington State College group was eagerly graspedby Idaho drama students who were anxious to experiment with new techniques in theatre. A beginning towardarena-style prcx:luction was made when one-acts were presented in special performances for various organizationsin living rooms and meeting rooms.

Shakespeare. Tennessee Williams. and Betty Peters, along with other dramatic offerings ranging from seriousdrama to comedy, were offered to Idaho audiences this year as Collette headline attractions in Variety.

This year saw even more than the usual hustle and bustle around the U Hut and on the auditorium stage withthe calendar packed full of prcx:luction dates. Larger classes in interpretation and play prcx:luction not only "do bledin brass" but played the strings on the side trying to keep up with the increased dramatic activity. Student designing,crew-work. directing, and acting under the supervision of Miss Collette and Mr. Kern turned out big and little showsthat rated the name of "gocd theatre."

The Bard spoke again and sang, 100, when his "Twelfth Night" was put on

the boords March 1O1l. Feste, the clown, opened the play with a "Heigh

and a ho, the wind and the rain" sung so slyly that few realized that

Gregory was improvising to the tune of "Maybe." Scenes of Shakespearean

grace and beauty by the Romantics were mingled with the hilarious antics

of the Comedian group. Result - a most entertaining "Night." Marion

Fe4therstone designed the authentic and colorful costumes for both "Every-

man" and "Twelfth Night" with one eye on her sketches, the other on

the budget. Thus both prOOuetions were elaborately costumed with a ward-

robe planned for adaptability. Mr. Shakespeare, your play wrillen for the

Globe did all right at Idaho too! You should have seen the ringdown with

the entire cast singing your lyrics! Heigh ho.

Ever walch a show from the "wings" or the "flies?" Ask

any member of the Idaho drama department what it's

like-they have seen all that goes on behind the velvet

curtain.

Here the actor is a technician and the technician an

actor. Drama students learn how to run the switch};x).,rd,

10 construct, paint llnd erect stage settings, to apply their

own make-up, and to sew costumes and make props.

Scene designing, directing, and studying theories of

play production are all a part of a thespian's education.

The art of acting is learned in classes of interpretation,

improvisation, and pantomimic aelion. Finding oul what

goes into a play along with the spoken line and stoge

action is gathered formally in the classroom and then

empirically on crew-do. There's no limit set on the his-

trionic knowledge and skill that may be obtained work-

ing backstll:ge on "technical."

The Vandaleers, Idaho's celebr"ted mixed choir. had a very active SEMsondivided between concerts, tours, lInd guest "pJ:)ell.rllOces. Two concerts

were given during the year. commencing with the tr"ditional Christmasprogram of hymns lInd carols, which was rebrOllldcast Christmas Eve by14 Idaho and W"shington radio slations. The Vandaleers demonslratedtheir diversity in the final home concert of the se.!l.son by singing four sep'"rate groups of songs-sacred numbers, operatic selections, folk wllads,and Idaho college songs. The highlight in the life of any Vandaleer is theannual tour, which this year was 10 southeaslern Idaho for a series of 19concerts. Shorter lours were made 10 Orofino, Wallace, and SpokllOe, lISwell as a speci,,1 concert for the northern Idaho eduClltors' convention.

Mr. Glen Lockery, director of the V"ndaleers, is wellversed in the art ofchoir-directing, as is perhaps best exhibited by the fame of the Id"hoVandaleers.

The Idaho Pep Band. resplendent in their red and brown uniforms. greetedthe opening whistle of the basketball season with a brassy march. or per-haps one of their well-known "fillers." But whatever it was. the Pep Bandblasted its way into the musical field this year. Perhaps the Pep Band'sgreatest claim to glory is the annual Pep Band Show. which this year wasconsiderably toned down over previous years. The show was divided intotwo parts. The !irst part emphasized comparatively serious music. while

their "Jazz Panorama" dominated the second half. John Sheeley, seniormusic major. was the student director of the group, the members of whichare chosen from the University Band. Earlier in the season, the Pep Bandpresented a series of 17 band concerts during an extensive tour of south-western Idaho high schools. The Idaho Pep Band, in fulfilling a need for"brass inspiration." merits the applause of all the students.

So that the United States would be provided with trained military personnel inany emergency, the Morrill Land Grant Act stipulated that military trainingmust be given at all land-grant colleges. And today, the Idaho ROTC detach-ment's stated mission is the preparation of junior officers who will serve Ihenation's needs in time of emergency.

A two-year course in Military Training is compulsory for all physically fitmales attending the university. Those who take two extra years along with theirregular college courses may win a commission in the United States Army. TheROTC program comprises about 350 individuals, of whom 48 were enrolled inthe advanced courses.

Colonel Charles F. Hudson, Professor of Military Science and Tactics, assistedby Major Harley Miller, executive, and four other officers and six enlisted per-sonneL heads the department and offers this instruction.

Twenty-live cadets attended the required summer camp at Fort Lewis,Washington, accompanied by five members of the Idaho permanent staff, whoserve as instructors.

The Military Band, representing the top musical lalent of the

ROTC and AROTC units, supplies the rhythm for the cadets

marching in parades, inspections and retreats. The extra duty

thereby involved was somewhat enhanced by the extra half-

Hosch, went formal this spring and presented an outdoor con-

cert on the Ad lawn.
