"OUT OF THIS WORLD"
This magazine is a time portal back to life as a college student in the 1940's. Its a snapshot of American culture and values of the time period. Also its a historic and pictorial documentation of Stillwater Oklahoma and the college campus as it was in the 1940s. There are ads for cigarettes and liquor,as well as restaurants,clothing,gum and many other things that would be of interest to college students. Its funny to see today,ads from back then that feature students drinking and smoking,it was a normal and acceptable part of the culture of that time.Things sure have changed since then!! The magazine is filled with b\w pictures of student life in the 40's and it features highlights of fashion and normal activities of the students at Oklahoma A&M. There are also articles written on campus life and student interests,as well as comic and ficticious stories. There are also some great cartoons and they are definitley not politically correct!! The magazine is a very interesting read. It shows while many things are different between then and now,many things are still the same!!
This paticular magazine features a comic outer space scene on the cover and is titled, Future Issue. The issue features a very beautiful young lady in futuristic short shorts,and form fitting outfit complete with a cape as the magazines April girl. She was Mary Louise Jones, a PIFI whose hometown was Stillwater Oklahoma. There are some cool articles and editorials that tie unto the future theme of the magazine as well.

FYI
FYI
Oklahoma State University–Stillwater, located in Stillwater, Oklahoma, is an institution of higher learning founded in 1890 as a land-grant university under the Morrill Act. Originally known as Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College (Oklahoma A&M), it is the flagship institution of the Oklahoma State University System. The campus had a total enrollment of 20,834 students for the 2005-06 academic year, 18,909 of which were undergraduates.
History
On December 24, 1890, the Oklahoma Territorial Legislature finally gained approval for Oklahoma Territorial Agricultural and Mechanical College, the land-grant university established under the Morrill Act of 1862. It specified that the college was to be within Payne County. Such an ambiguous description created rivalry between towns within the county, with Stillwater ultimately winning out. Upon statehood in 1907, "Territorial" was dropped from its title.
The first students assembled for class on December 14, 1891. Classes were held for two and one-half years in local churches until the first academic building, later known as Old Central, was dedicated on June 15, 1894, on the southeast corner of campus. In 1896, Oklahoma A&M held its first commencement with six male graduates.
Much of the growth of OAMC can be attributed to work of Henry G. Bennett, who served as the school's president from 1928 to 1950. Early in his tenure Dr. Bennett developed a strategic vision for the physical expansion of the university campus. His vision was followed for more than fifty years and made the university what it is today, including the Georgian architecture that permeates the campus. The focal point of his vision was a new library, which became a reality when the Edmon Low Library opened in 1953.
On May 15, 1957, Oklahoma A&M changed its name for the final time to Oklahoma State University to reflect the broadening scope of curriculum offered. Branches have since been added in Okmulgee, Oklahoma City, and Tulsa to the Oklahoma State University System, with the Stillwater campus as the flagship institution.
In 2005, OSU announced its "Campus Master Plan", an ambitious campaign to enhance academic, athletic, and administrative facilities. It is intended to be an extension of the Bennett Plan developed almost 80 years ago. Over $800 million is planned to be spent on construction and renovation to be completed over twenty years.
The Plan calls for an "athletic village" where all of the university's athletic facilities will be located on the main campus. To accomplish this goal, the athletic department has bought all (or nearly all) the property north of Boone Pickens Stadium up to McElroy between Knoblock and Washington streets. This has drawn criticism from the city of Stillwater and those property owners. While the vast majority of the real estate was rental property targeting college students, a few owners were longtime residents. OSU responded by offering property owners well above their appraised value.[citation needed] At present, there is a lone holdout in this parcel of land, who has sued OSU over their right to use eminent domain. Plans include the construction of an indoor practice facility for most sports, a soccer stadium/outdoor track, a tennis complex, and a baseball stadium.
