Fall Term begins September 25.

An exhibition of text books, stu­dent art work, blue prints, cam­pus master plans, pamphlets, pub­lications and photographs was pre­sented April 24-29 at the Central Plaza Exhibition Center in down­town Canton.

The display was set up by the Office of Information Service and students were on hand from 10 a. m. to 5 p. m. throughout the week to answer visitors' questions

S t u d e n t s pa r t i c i p a t i n g w e r e Mark Mentges, Larry Wilgus, Jim Dawson, Cheryl Zeiger, Tom Da-car, Tim Sigler, Becky Kilkenny, Stella Holding, Cindy Bradford, Roger Kraft and Sandy Mayfield.

Aerial photographs of the near­ly completed campus were shown, and various pamphlets and school publications made available.

Art work by Larry Anthony and John Duncan was included in the exhibition. A variety of text books was presented for public view during the exhibition.

Purpose of the exhibit was to acquaint the Canton area with the new campus and future expansion plans of Kent State in the county.

THESE ARE VIEWS of various features at the new campus. They include (top, left to right) the patio off the food services center on the south side of the building, one of two chemistry labs, the stage in the new lecture hall, and (above) the library.

White Approves Constitution; Students To Vote on Ratification

Students are to vote on ratification of a constitution for the Student Government, Stark County Campus, next week at the Ameri­can Legion Hall and Lehman High School.

Approval of the constitution by Kent State University President Robert I. White was relayed to the officers of the Student Govern­ment Development Agency by Dean William M. Stephens, dean of the Division of Academic Centers, at a luncheon in the Administra­tion Building on the Kent campus May 12.

This is the first Academic Cen ter student government constitu­tion to be approved by President White.

The five Canton Center stu­dents who attended the luncheon were William Lambert, president;

Miday, Annette Bickis and Rob­ert Welsh.

ALLIANCE — Carol Albright, Dan Wiley, Douglas Perry and William Holibaugh.

LOUISVILLE — Dale Rupple, Paulette Masalko and Richard Whitemyer.

EAST CANTON — Jane Swin­dell and Rudolph Schuster.

OTHERS—Thomas Carr of New Philadelphia, Fred Votaw of Be-loit, Betty Gibb of Salem, Gay Maxson of Homeworth, Alice Fecik of East Sparta, William Gamble of Brewster, Darlene Lo­gan of Scio, Janet Logan of Bow-erstown, Orin Oakes of Paris and Richard McElroy of Carrollton.

Group To Orient New Students

§k * c 4

KATHY SEIBERT, Todd Snellenberger, Mr. Mendenhall, Sue Heffel-finger and Marsha Battista (seated) discuss the orientation program.

Orientation for incoming Stark County freshmen next fall will be mandatory and will include two days of scheduled activities.

Under the direction of Professor Warner Mendenhall of the politi­cal science department, a group of students met May 8 to plan the orientation schedule.

Marsha Battista was elected chairman of the group and Kathy Seibert was appointed secretary.

Because a large number of stu­dents is expected, they will be di­

vided into two groups; thus orien­tation will last four days, with a mixer on Friday night.

Committee chairmen include Marsha Battista, Sue Heffelfinger, Joe Mehalko, Keith Murray, Kathy Seibert, Jim Sellen, Todd Snellen­berger and Larry Wilgus.

Activities for the new students will include a "tug-of-war," cook-out, and "mock day." Because of the numerous activities planned, any help the student body would like to give would be appreciated.

Yolanda Carbone, vice president; Stella Holding, secretary; Todd Snellenberger, clerk; and Robert Friedman, public relations chair­man.

They were accompanied by the director of t he Stark County Cam­pus, Jack Morehart, and Robert Pfendler and Warner Mendenhall, both active in student affairs on the administrative level.

Representing the Division of Academic Centers at the luncheon were Dean Stephens; Dr. N. A. Sicuro and Thomas Lamb, assist­ant deans; and Carl Yoke, publi­cations coordinator.

Eric Rackham, executive dean, education and student services, and Robert E. Matson, dean of students, also were present.

During the luncheon, students and university officials discussed problems of mutual interest.

Dr. Sicuro took the students on a brief tour of the expanding Kent State University campus, and ex­plained future construction plans.

45 Attend Mixer In an effort to establish rapport

between students and faculty, the Student Government Development Agency sponsored a mixer at the home of one of its members on May 5.

In addition to 45 students, three faculty members joined the infor­mal gathering: Mr. and Mrs. War­ner Mendenhall, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Pfendler, and Mr. Edward Swingle.

Student reaction was reported encouraging. A need for more in­terested students was recognized.

Members of t he agency said they were quite pleased with the ideas and suggestions given by students.

Several new members have been enlisted to take an active part in the organization. They plan to work together in a concerted ef­fort to arouse student interest.

Knowledge For What? By Frederick M. Worrell

Last year I saw an issue of the Kent Stater which contained a picture of a father and his daughter. He was an alumnus of K.S.U. She was a freshman. The purpose of the picture was to illustrate the larger number of text books that the daughter would be required to read as opposed to the number the father was required to read.

The father's stack was chest high. The daughter's stack of books was twice as high. In fact, the picture was taken so that all were not visible within the frame of the picture. I think that this is an example of what has happened to higher education and to the general field of education, for that matter, over the past 20 years. Why?

It has been estimated that it took from the time of Christ to 1750 for all knowledge to double. It took only 200 years for all knowledge to double again. From 1950 to 1960, it doubled again! I don't know what the claims for the growth of knowledge since 1960 are. One scholar has measur­ed its growth in another way.

Fritz Matchlup of Princton Uni­versity points up the phenomenal growth of the knowledge industry in the U.S. in terms of the Gross National Product. He reports that the knowledge industry in 1958 equaled 136 billion dollars or nearly 30 per cent of the G.N.P. Five years later, he found that our nation's outlay for knowledge amounted to 195 billion dollars, up 43 per cent in five years.

How can we keep up? Certainly the pressure is on all of us to keep abreast of the tremendous

Letters To The Editor Dear Editor,

Recently a young coed from the Canton Center was killed in an automobile accident. A collec­tion was started to purchase a commemorative plaque to be placed under a tree planted in her memory on the Stark County Campus.

Could we perhaps start a me­morial fund for Ann that might mushroom into a permanent pro­gram, added to by members of the community, The Ann Manello Library Memorial Fund?

This is not an original idea, and could be patterned after similar programs in any school library. Donations received would go to purchase books, which would have imprinted on the inside cover the name of the donor and the name of the person in whose memory the donation was made. Printed letters could be sent to surviving relatives informing them of the donation.

Also, students passing on to higher things could leave their names printed on a "thank-you" donor's list, by making very small contributions into a general li­brary fund. Thus, our library would grow. S. L. H.

Dear Editor, In answer to Mr. Zelinckas'

statement about the book problem last issue at Kent Canton, I pro­pose this plan.

This plan provides two services; It gives the students an opportuni­ty to buy and sell used books at

growth of knowledge. It means that we can only be exposed to the more critical areas of know­ledge while developing the tech­niques for ascertaining that which is known as well as discovering that which is not yet known.

This means that the goals of formal education should be limit­ed. It should provide the basis for a lifetime of continuing education. Some of this we can do on our own by reading and research. Most of us will take advantage of opportunities of additional course-work, seminars and workshops.

What is this world going to be like? May I toss out the following suggestions within the limitations of this article?

Population growth — By the year 2,000 the world's largest growth areas will be those which can least afford it. The present

reasonable rates, and earns al­ways needed money for the Stu­dent Union.

Students wishing to sell books could simply have their own Used Book Store. Persons to operate the store could be volunteers from the student body. All proceeds would go to the Student Union.

Students wishing to sell books could simply write on a piece of paper their name, price they were asking, title of book, and course used for. He would then give the book to the Student Union along with ten cents for their service. If the books were sold the student would receive what he had asked for the book, less ten cents. If the books weren't sold, the student's book would be returned on a date set by the Student Union. All books not claimed at this time would become the property of the Student Union.

Unless some rules or laws pro­hibit this sale of used books by students, I see no reason why this cannot become an operative solu­tion. Edward Ulery Editor's Note — The new Stark County Campus will operate its own bookstore, thereby alleviat­ing many past problems.

Student Prexy Observes Trend Toward Involvement

By William Lambert In observing the daily news media, reading various college and

university communications (such as college newspapers and news bul­letins), and studying information put out by various national student organizations, I cannot help but notice a dominant and significant trend developing on the campuses of America's institutions of higher learning.

This trend is toward a growing awareness and involvement on the

population of the U.S. will grow from approximately 197 milliton to about 300 million in that time.

Urbanization — By the year 2,000 the largest cities will be in India — the largest is estimated to be between 36 and 50 million. The U. S. will contain three megalopolitan areas. There will be one along the east coast, one along the west coast, and another from Chicago down through the industrial valley.

Automation — While automa­tion is presently creating more jobs than it is destroying, it is bringing about change in produc­tion techniques and employment demands. An employee may have to be flexible enough to change jobs or to assume new skills.

Individuation — These changes and their resultant affect upon the individual and his social institu­tions will continue to bring about a fragmentizing effect. This serves to alienate man from his many and various primary and referen­ce groups which further serves to bring about confliction and con­fusion of our norms and values.

We are facing a rapidly chang­ing world. Gaining knowledge for a profession, career, or specialized job is one thing. Knowledge for adjustment and survival in tomor­row's world is quite another.

I think this requires a liberal education. We need to pursue the humanities, the arts, and to gain knowledges in the realm of social science as well as the physical sciences. If this were not enough, we need to effectively communi­cate this knowledge by developing conversational and writing skills. Knowledge in a vacuum is of no value.

All this is a big job — a job which will require a lifetime!

part of students in the areas of administration and instruction. This involvement may take the form of an instructor evaluation program, participation in the planning and programming of courses and activities, or giving student opinion on certain admini­stration functions.

Through such programs as these today's students of higher learn­ing may take an active part at their particular campus in such a way as to provide the needed and desired changes and improvements necessary to cope with a modern, rapidly changing world . . a world that is small, yet still shrinking; a world overcrowded, yet becom­ing more so each day; a world begging for leadership and guid­ance, and looking toward today's universities to produce these lead­ers and guides.

When discussing student in­volvement in the teaching and ad­ministrative functions of a uni­versity, one question which usual­ly comes up is: Do the students

Debaters Drafting Club Constitution

Dennis Matson, Bill Hoover and Pam Munson comprise a commit­tee working to draft a constitu­tion for the Debate Club.

Annette Bickis is president of the club. Vice chairman is Sue Heffelfinger.

The Debate Club meets every Thursday at noon in Room 304 of the American Legion Building and debates issues, followed by general discussion.

In the words of Dennis Matson: "It is up to today's generation to solve world ills. Come, listen, and give your opinion on issues at the College Debate Forum."

have the ingenuity and capability to help produce good programs?

By and large, I would have to answer in the affirmative to such a question. It is my opinion that today's student generation has more knowledge, better, faster, and more complete information, and more absolute responsibility, than any other generation in his­tory. This is due, in part, to ad­vanced and highly refined know­ledge systems, rapid global com­munication techniques, and the awesome destructive potential in a modern nuclear device.

What this amounts to in the final analysis is that today's stu­dent generation will be called upon to help solve local, national, and international problems. To do this he must have modern ways of learning available at the uni­versities, he must have the oppor­tunity to acquire responsibility and leadership while still in school. One good way to accomp­lish this is to help solve the day-to-day, as well as the long range problems of the university and its community.

To achieve this, programs like those mentioned earlier would seem appropriate. However, such programs do not develop spon­taneously. The more successful ones have tended to begin in the older, larger, and more respected universities, but by no means are they limited to these institutions.

Where such programs do exist the student government usually has been the initiating and guid­ing organization. Responsible stu­dent leaders elected to their posi­tion through a democratic process seems to be one of the best devices for not only giving a leadership and participation (through vot­ing) experience, but also for the concentration of student opinion to a focus of strength which may be used to get across the needed and desired changes and programs.

This applies no less to the Stark County Campus of KSU than to the larger universities of our country. This is where we as individual students must begin — if not as leaders and organizers in student government programs, then certainly as participants through the voting process.

Drama Club Picks Name "The Set" is the name chosen

by the group of thespians who meet on the first and third Fri­days of the month at the Ameri­can Legion Hall at 4 p. m. under the directorship of Miss Mary Jane Boyle, instructor of speech.

Before holding election of offi­cers, "The Set" is awaiting ap­proval of its constitution, drafted under the chairmanship of Sue Heffelfinger.

A skit on parliamentary proced­ure was given at a meeting May 5.

There is under discussion in certain circles, the possibility of initiating a Faculty Evaluation Program at the Stark County Campus.

To the "conservatives" this must conjure up visions of stu­dents giving grades to the faculty, with the probability that some, at least, will "flunk-out." The "li­berals" see it as no less than their right as students who pay fees for a service they should some­how be able to regulate. This feel­ing is accentuated if the student earns his fees by his own labor.

The value of any evaluation lies in its objectivity. To be objective we would have to disregard that which affects us the most: the grade we get for a course. There is always the temptation to blame an instructor for our own short­comings. I think we usually get the grade that we deserve.

Another difficulty lies in the student's approach to education. If we require no more than the specific material to pass the course, then almost any teacher

can oblige by delivering a 50-minute lecture three times a week.

But, if we hope that a teacher will leave us with an insatiable desire to know more about his field, then we probably expect him to communicate enthusiasm. What an instructor KNOWS, is important, but a number of know­ledgeable teachers create a lot of ennui in the classroom.

In some instances, students ob­tain ideas concerning politics and morality, and perhaps social atti­tudes from instructors. It takes a certain degree of sophistication to remain objective while your prin­cipal tenets are being rattled.

But we should also keep in mind that the instructor is doing a good job of remaining impartial, and is functioning as a stimulant, and intellectual perspective is finally left up to the individual student.

Good, objective evaluation of a course must have some positive value, and with this in mind, the discussion of initiating a Faculty Evaluaton Program continues.

Prof Pro f i le

Center's Her Second Home

By Stella Holding: Sparkling eyes, a great big

smile, and a throaty chuckle in­troduce one of Kent State Can­ton's "first ladies" — Laura Mc­Gregor, instructor of mathematics.

Mrs. McGregor began teaching at the Canton Academic Center in 1947, when classes were held in McKinley High School under the direction of Clayton Schindler, who is now dean of the College of Education.

(Although classes had been of­fered intermittently from 1912, it was only in September 1946 that the state-financed Extension Di­vision opened, with an enrollment of 681. The following year, when Mrs. McGregor joined the staff, the enrollment had risen to 905, as enrollment on the G. I. Bill reached its peak.)

Mrs. McGregor loves teaching, and plans on being with Kent in Stark County "as long as they'll have me."

She did take an extended leave of absence between 1951 and 1963, during which she had four chil­dren, taught math part time at the American Technical Institute in Canton and had one "wild year teaching seventh grade math at Taft Junior High."

"I come from St. Clairsville, Ohio, and I bet you don't know where that is!" she said. (It's about 15 miles west of the Ohio River opposite Wheeling, W. Va.)

She received a B.A. degree from Denison University and an M.A. in math at Ohio State University.

It was at Ohio State that she met her husband, Norman. Ex­plaining how they met, she said: "When I had an assistantship at Ohio State as a graduate student, I taught my husband. I gave him a B in the course. We weren't going together then or it would have been an A," she added.

Mr. McGregor is vice president and treasurer of Canton Struc­tural Steel. The four McGregor children are Cathy, 15, a student

at Glenwood High; Lucy, 14, at Taft Junior High; Agnes, 11, at Avondale, and 5-year-old Kenny.

"We all have different sched­ules and leave home at different times in the morning and get home at different times in the afternoon, but I don't mind any­thing except doing the ironing!" she explained.

Admitting that she didn't have to study as much in grade school as her children do, "if I remember correctly," she added that even the same courses she taught in 1947 seem to be more difficult now, with much more material to cover.

But she did confess that she loves playing bridge and gin-rummy and enjoys a game of golf when she can fit it into her busy schedule.

Swingle Suggests Discussion Program Emphasizing that this was en­

tirely "as I see it," Edward Swin­gle, instructor of speech, enlarged upon an experimental idea to ex­pand the Debate Club into a dis­cussion program.

The basic goals of the program would be to provide club members with as much intellectual confron­tation as they can handle in dis­cussing "issues" and to help close the gap between faculty and stu­dents by creating a climate for

informal intellectual interchange. "As I see it," said Mr. Swingle,

"the program would be an exten­sion of all speech courses offered, especially in argumentation and public speaking, and would em­phasize intellectual discussion."

He visualizes a public forum where students could debate top­ics of interest (sex, teachers, grades, etc.) before an audience, who could then ask questions and join in open discussion.

Campus Ministry Plan Told I5y Don Rutledge

Four students from the Canton Academic Center of Kent State University represented the Center at a meeting held recently to dis­cuss the proposed Interfaith Campus Ministry, Inc.

resented the Jewish faith, Suzanne Jackson of C anton represented the Protestant faith, Larry Wilgus of Canton represented the Catholic faith, and William J. Lambert of Canton represented the Student Government. Warner D. Menden-hall represented the Center ad­ministration.

Tentative plans are to erect an Interfaith Chapel building on land directly across the road from the new Stark County Campus of KSU. However, the topic of dis­cussion at this meeting focused on by-laws of the new corporation.

Following a lengthy discussion, numerous suggestions and coun­ter - suggestions were presented and a four-member committee was appointed by Judge Milligan to redraft the by-laws in accordance with the suggestions made.

According to the by-laws, the purpose of the proposed corpora­tion is to work in harmony and love with all represented religious groups in matters of religious, moral and ethical concern. It is also the intent to advance relig­ious life and spiritual values on the new Stark County Campus, recognizing in brotherliness and good-will the particular convic­tions of the respective denomina­tions and faiths.

According to the articles of in­corporation, the ministry of this new facility shall endeavor to pro­vide students an open, religious-based fellowship for study, wor­ship and service; stimulate spirit­ual sensitivity to and understand­ing of the political, economic and social concerns of the world; and

share in and strive to undergird the proper work of the university as a part of the creating and sus­taining activity of God in the life of the world.

It would also nurture the spirit­ual life of students, faculty and administrative personnel; counsel or direct them to the appropriate agency when faced with personal problems; and assist them to see the relevance of religious faith in their fields of study and vocation.

As a link between the campus and the religious community, the ministry would endeavor to pro­vide opportunities for creative unity of effort among Christian denominations, in the ecumenical spirit of our times, and would work cooperatively with Jewish and other religious groups in mat­ters of mutual concern and com­mon interest.

Following a report by Judge Milligan on the status of Kent-view, Inc., a corporation which owns 80 acres of land adjacent to and across the road from the Stark County Campus, it was recom­mended that the group make some judgment as to whether the long-range planning for this corpora­tion involved the current procure­ment of adjacent real estate to the university. At the suggestion of the body, Msgr. Fannon, Tom Blank, Dick Cheney, John Klinge-man, Frank Trubee and Larry Wilgus were appointed for this purpose and will report at the next meeting.

Members of the finance and program committee include David Frees, Milton Lottman, Glenn Has-selbach and Robert Van Lew.

Club Sponsors Folk Festival

NEWMAN CLUB OFFICERS Diane Digianantonio, secretary; Father Joseph Martin, advisor; Larry Wilgus, president; and Jane Triner, treasurer, discuss the success of the recent folk festival.

By Yolanda Carbone On Sunday, April 30, over 350 persons attended the first annual

Spring Folk Festival sponsored by the Center Newman Club. Because of the success of the festival, Father Joseph Martin, advisor

to the group, announced that the event would become a yearly affair. Students from this Center, Kent Campus, Malone and Walsh Col­

leges and Central Catholic High School provided a variety of enter­tainment.

Denny Jackson, Center student, was featured guest soloist. His guitar-harmonica combination was used to perform his arrangements of "blues folk."

The Youngfolk, a group of e ight girls from Central Catholic, har­monized beautifully. Other groups included The Parallel from Walsh, The Hopeless Four, The Vocal De­partment, The Sixpence, and The Lassies.

Doug Bernhardt, another Cen-er student and Newman Club member, added his talents as a soloist on guitar and harmonica. Bob DeSantis, a Kent Campus freshman, took time out from his studies to add to the festivities.

Larry Wilgus, president of New­man Club, did an outstanding job of emceeing the event and contrib-ed some of his own talent in the form of a vocal selection.

This folk festival, held at St. Clement's Parish Hall in Navarre, has opened a new door and has given the Newman Club a new beginning. Plans for the future include several fund-raising ac­tivities and both social and in­tellectual gatherings.

It should be emphasized that in­terested students of any faith are urged to join and participate in the club. For further information, one can contact any member or Father Martin at St. Clement's Parish, Navarre.

Sod 011 Sod City where a vision was born amid the smoke and

clamor, And ended in a grave concealed of sod on sod. Defiled and pounded out of form and being As the dreamer shriveled and grew rancid in the

factory heat.

From high above I view the horror of this scene, The concrete hammer and the beaten human product. Not a being more than earth and blackened air, A part mass made by daily sameness to exist.

A piston, bearing, gear — to run a gross, a callous mechanism,

Pounding, firing, shifting, forcing power into progress,

Until soul and body, frayed and useless, died with dreams they had.

And like industries' worn-out tools tossed beneath the sod.

—Caroline Crabtree.

The Old Woman That morning when we arose, the old woman Was acting weird. Though she's been around for decades, She's still quite unpredictable, like Death.

That sunrise her face glowed like a monstrous Glutton, Devouring, then spitting all within her touch. Her dark brow curved into hate.

The boats were talking swiftly, hoping They wouldn't become inhaled in her volume of Undying hunger.

The elders sat in a damp cove, protected, Talking of her ancient myths. Was she but a facetious wretch, Or was there a great unknown avidity in her deep

perils? —Margaret Morris.

Ronnie Harris, 18-year-old box­ing star of Kent State University's Stark County Campus, has many titles. One of them is two-time champion of the national AAU 132-pound boxing tournaments.

In April, the champ shelled five opponents in San Diego to repeat as the AAU king.

Ronnie now is slacking off his training habits only slightly until he gets a call from AAU officials about the Pan-American Games boxing tournament, scheduled for July in Canada.

The field for the Pan-American Games will be comprised of All-Service champions and runners-up, Golden Gloves champions, champions of the AAU and king­pins from other countries through­out the world.

Last summer, Ronnie was a member of the U. S. boxing team that competed in Germany, Eng­land, Italy, Canada and the U. S. winning in all of them but Italy.

Although Ron has a great fu­ture in boxing, he does not plan to turn pro. Ron turned to boxing after football coaches at McKin-ley High School suggested he try another sport because of his small stature.

By Bruce Stambaugh Eighteen students represented

the Stark County Campus in three sports at the Spring Sports Tour­nament on the Kent campus May 19 and 20.

Four academic centers, two each from Kent State and Ohio State universities, were invited to com­pete in the tournament. KSU cen­ters that participated were Canton and Wadsworth, which was the host for the tourney. The Mans­field and Newark extensions rep­resented Ohio State.

A total of 72 students from the four centers took part in team and individual events for both men and women in bowling, golf, and tennis. An awards banquet was held in the Student Union.

Robert Kistler, Center athletic director, was chairman of the ten­nis segment of the tourney.

Representing the Stark Campus in the women's events were Chris Miller and Martha Williams, golf; Terry Monastra, tennis; and Jen­nie Johns, bowling.

James Geisey and Gary Joseph were the Center's representatives in the men's tennis events, while

Bob Schwallie, Ed Herzog and Rick Evans were entrants in men's bowling. Schwallie and Herzog had won Center bowling tourna­ments earlier this year and were automatically qualified.

Nine students were competing for four spots to represent the Stark Center in men's golf. They were Terry Ponn, Larry Tarbet, Chuck Gesen, Dave Anthoney, Larry Zufall, Jerry Jatczak, M. DeAngelis, Paul Werstler and Tim Sigler.

Sports Program of Stark Campus Receives Big B oost on W JAN-TV

Robert Kistler, athletic director at the Stark County Campus, ap­peared on Canton's new television station, WJAN-TV (Channel 17), Wednesday, May 3.

WJAN declared that day "Sports Day" and devoted its entire day of televising to local college and high school sports programs.

Athletics at Malone, Walsh and Mount Union colleges were spot­lighted along with Kent Stark.

The cameras also focused on the sports of the four city high schools, Lehman, Lincoln, McKinley and Timken, as well as Massillon Washington and Glenwood, the two largest county secondary

schools. Kistler described Kent Stark's

present athletic curriculum of basketball, golf, tennis, bowling and swimming on the show and was appreciative to the commun­ity for its assistance in helping to maintain these courses.

He presented plans for the 31-acre athletic field that has been designated for the new Stark County Campus.

"Someday we can look forward to having all the sports that the Kent campus has now," Kistler remarked. He said that track will probably be added to the sports program next year.

Late Results Kent State Stark County par­

ticipants brought back six firsts: men's and women's bowling, men's golf, and women's tennis.

Craig Winston averaged 176 (four games) to snare men's sin­gles honors and Jennie Johns av­eraged 152 to bring home the women's title, both in bowling.

Kistler Originates New Game

Basketball 's Taking a Different Bounce! By Keith Murray

In terms of saving money and building good sportsmanship, un­officiated basketball has great po­tential, says the man who dreamed it up—Robert Kistler, HPE co­ordinator at the Canton Center.

It was while teaching at McKin­ley High School in Canton in 1956 that Mr. Kistler introduced the game on the intramural level.

The need for this step arose, he explains, because of the difficulty in finding good officials for intra­mural basketball games, as well as the expense of paying such men.

Since its beginning at McKin­ley, the game has been introduced at Canton Lehman, Perry and North Canton Hoover high schools with success and is being eyed on the university level.

Mr. Kistler noted that Kent State spends some $3,000 a year to pay officials for intramural games on the main campus and feels the use of unofficiated basket­ball could prove a great savings.

In addition, the HPE leader notes, the game promotes good sportsmanship because the boys take a more active part in it. It is a "working idea," he explains.

While most rules in unofficiated basketball are similar to those of the standard game, there are some differences.

One of these is in scoring, under which the scores of 8, 16 and 24 are used to determine the end of the first three quarters. When either team reaches a score of 32, the game is over. A two-point margin is sufficient for a victory.

Another difference finds the game started with the toss of a

coin instead of a jump ball at mid-court. The offense is not permitted to fast break, and the defense can not use a full court press.

No jump balls are necessary to determine ball control. The team captains control infractions and in case of doubt a coin toss will be made with the captains alter­nating first call.

There is no foul shooting. After an infraction, the offended team gets the ball at midcourt. Any

player who intentionally or fla­grantly fouls is eliminated from the game. Here again, the intra­mural director may over-rule any decisions made by the captains.

Unofficiated basketball slows the game down, Mr. Kistler said, because the offense is more de­liberate and the defense is better.

"But more important," he add­ed, "is the fact that this new form of basketball promotes the idea of good sportsmanship."
