Hawaii costuming stars visit Kent State campus
Kameya Miyasaki and Setsuko Tamashiro, student visitors from Hilo Hawaii, attend International Students Day at Kent State wearing native cotton dresses.

Modern Man in 1949: Education Up Yet Paunches Grow
The author surveys the 1949 man as educated but heavier, taller, and more mobile, with broader tastes and new pursuits. He notes larger waistlines, better earnings, more reading, foreign language interest, theater going, and GI Bill aided higher education, contrasting with 1930s norms. He jokes about male and female roles and ends with a playful jab about Kent Normal.
