The membership of the choir is sel- ected from the student body of Hough- ton College on the basis of Christian character, vocal ability, and musician- ship. With most of the choir members music is but an avocation.
The choir rehearses for four hours each week. The members are held in- dividually responsible for the memor- ization of all music. This year for the first time, because of the shortage of men on the campus, the group is com- posed entirely of women's voices.
Variety Show And Dance Postponed By Frosh
Mary Louise Teta, president of the freshman class, announced that there was a meeting of the freshman Variety Show Committee last Thursday night at Kenyon Hall.
The committee decided to postpone the proposed Variety Show due to lack of interest in the project by mem- bers of the class. Also, there was no faculty member available to direct the project.
Plans for a *Teshman Dance were also abandodned by the committee.
The absence of the ASTP from the campus made this seem a wise move.

An Individual Problem
In our early childhood we used to read stories of the beautiful princess who married Prince Charming and lived happily ever after.
As we grow older we read of devoted couples who married and lived a normally happy life together. Now, however, as we begin to think about such problems, we wonder if we have been suffering under the illusion that a happy marriage is merely a marriage to be thought about but never realized.
Girls of today who wish to marry—girls who are mature, old enough to attend college and supposedly old enough to think through their own problems reasonably and make their own decisions—are confronted with writing a case history of their marriage, are made to feel that marriage is sinful.
Not only are they required to write diaries of their private lives, but, in addition, they must live from day to day wondering whether they will be allowed to remain in school for committing such a crime.
All this because someone has dug up an old rule stating that Fresh- man girls may not marry. In bringing this rule to light we are remin- ded of lawyers, who, having a final chance to prove their ,case, burn the midnight oil searching through old books to find a rule—any rule—which will, perhaps, save the day. It doesn't matter to them whether the rule is out-dated, or whether its logic is relative to today's social standards. It proves their case. Since, however, such a rule does exist, why hasn't it been publicized ? In like manner, why aren't rules which college students must follow printed in the hand- book or the college catalog? And even if such a rule does exist, what justification is there for requiring a paper to be written on one's mar- riage and courtship"? The very conservatism of individuals who ad- here to old rules and refuse to accept principles and morals applic- able to modern ethics and social standards seems quite contradictory to a logical college individual.
True, there are many problems involved in marriage. But these are such that only the individuals (and no outsider) can solve. They, and only they, should think through their problem and decide. Once their decision has been made it should be accepted and ancient rules should
give way to those of modern society.
A Reciprocal Duty
When we send our representatives to Congress we expect them to act in the manner which will be most beneficial to us. While at Congress we expect also that our representatives will try to bar any form of legislature which might impair our freedom. When a problem is one of great importance our representatives feel that they must have the opinion of their supporters before continuing. Once their decision has been voiced, the leaders do their utmost to carry out the wishes of the voters. If slight changes are made, our representatives, realizing that the benefits of the big principle outweigh any faults which changes might create, do all within their power to insure the law's being passed. When the law is put into operation we are ex- pected to follow it. So it is in our own college community.
A few days ago the new rules and regulations of the Women's Student Government went into effect. Before this final step could be taken, however, many problems had to be solved. Our WSG repres- entative weighed each rule of the old constitution carefully: they threw out and they added; they accepted and rejected; they revised and they laizze faired. They gave us as much freedom as they believed good for us. Since these regulations would give us more liberty than any previous ones, we heartily and unanimously approved. The rules were ratified by the Senate with but few minor changes—these all to our benefit. This set of rules is designed to give us the greatest possible degree of self-government. This set of rules offers the oppor- tunity to prove ourselves worthy and capable of accepting the respon- sibilities relative to a happy community.
The Women's Student Government has undertaken a great res- ponsibility. But the responsibility is reciprocal. It is our duty to cooperate with the WSG in following its rules and regulations. We made them. We must live by them.

By Shirley Lane
The Easter weekend was officially ended at Alfred by the facultj Coffee Hour at Pi Alpha on Easter Sunday from 8 til 10 p. m. Th faculty members, their wives and husbands, and the heads of htfuse were guests.
The house took on a very spring- like appearance, being decorated with gay spring flowers and pussy willows.
The guests were received by the sen- iors and Doris' Cunningham '44, Doro- thy Robbins '44, Olivia Bussell '44, and Elaine Beckstrand '44 poured1. Refresh- ments of tea, coffee, sandwiches and cookies were served.
Mae Barrus '46 was an overnight guest at Pi Alpha Tuesday night. Sev- eral other houses had1 guests1 ovier Easter weekend. Miss Barbara Hill of Penfield, New York was a guest at Theta Chi and Mrs. Hill was a din- ner guest there. Audrey Place '42, ex Sigma Chi, was a weekend guest at Sigma Chi.

Close your eyes and1 think—AlfreA What does1 that word mean to you?
Does it mean green hills, blue skie majestic trees bowed under the weigh of snow? Does it mean the post office bustling with activity, where you long-awaited letters finally reach you Does it mean living together with you best friends and sharing their joy and sorrows? Does it mean Wedne:
day nights in the movies when yo should be at home studying? Does mean beauty and love and fun?
Of course, you might look at it from another angle. It might mean ten hours ride on a dirty train. It might mean staying up until the wee hours of the morning to study for exams you never pass. It might mean snow every day when you feel as though you nev- er want to see another snowflake as long as you live. It might mean hard movie seats and old pictures.
You've probably at some time or other heard somebody say, "Alfred, Never heard of it. Where'd you say the Alpha had a personal shower for Pam | p l a c e i s ?.. W n a t k i n d o f a feeling ran Murphy '46. Phyllis Little '45 was gen-

My work here is very interesting and I really like the set-up—especially because this is the closest I've been to home since starting my army career 18 months ago.
I've been receiving the Fiat very regularly all this time and have great- ly enjoyed all the news about good old A.U.—especially the items about alumni in the Service. I hope to be able to make a short visit to Alfred sometime soon, while I am stationed here in New York, but don't know just when I'll have the opportunity.
I really appreciate your sending the Fiat to me and hope you will keep up the good work.
Please give my best regards to all the profs and any of my old friends who are still around there.

over you then? Probably your blood started to boil and you had1 to grit your teeth as you replied in a frigid tone that it is the best college in South Western New York. Of course, then they probably have asked you what there is about the place that makes it so wonderful. And, as you were all ready to burst forth wjth a glorious answer, you found yourself flounder- ing around and finally you had to ad- mit there was no definite answer.
There was just nothing you could' put your finger on. Nobody else would understand how much the friendly
"hellos" mean to you, nobody else would understand the lump that comes into your throat when you hear the bells of the carillon, nobody else would understand the warm feeling that comes over you when you see the sen- iors parading on moving-up day. You couldTi't explain how proud you were when you opened your Kanakadea for the first time; you couldn't explain your pride in the Alfred boys who have entered the service. Who would understand how eagerly you're wait- ing for all the good times to come back to the campus, football games, dances, St. Pat's? Who would understand what a wonderful faculty we have?
There's no use trying to explain. Only a person who has been to Alfred1 will understand what you're trying to say.
But how many times have you griped about how awful Alfred is? How many times have you complained about being overworked? How many times have you said "there just isn't any

One View
By Alvin Glaser
A war within a war is now being ought in this country. It is a war between conservatism and liberalism.
During the little more than the decade f the New Deal existence, the liberals have been in power. Labor has been organized to a greater extent than ever before and it has wielded more and more influence on the government.
The masses have benefited from the social v»elfare nreasunes that have
>een passed by the legislature, and he conservatives, with their ideas of laissez-faire and individualism, have been shoved into the background.
The conservatives, however, are not taking this sitting down. They have slowly recuperated from the depres- ion and their newspapers are once more strongly advocating the princi- ples that existed during the boom days, of the 19'20's. Both straightforward and subtle propaganda, in large quan- tities, has recently been fed to the public prescribing big business and what it stands for as against govern- ment control and the growing power of labor.
If the mass of people are desirous of further benefits, they must be willing to fight for them. They must not be content with going to the polls once every four years and electing a presi- dent who they believe will give them what they desire. \ The present situa- tion in Washington shows this to be exactly what it is—wishful thinking.
The masses did not go to the polls in 1942, but the advocates of big business and conservatism did. They elected men who were in agreement with the principles prescribed by this group.
The New Deal and' liberals have now lost their majority in Congress and that is the reason for the passage of labor to strike; that is the reason for the passage of the Federal Vote bill which in reality does not give the soldier a real chance to vote in the 1944 elections; that is the reason for the tax bill being passed over the Presidential veto even though it taxed the poor to a greater extent than the rich.
These are just a few of the measures that have hurt the masses to the great delight and advantage of the aristo- cratic few. No, the masses cannot gain their goals by going to the polls every four years. They must wage a continuous fight and pool their re- sources just as the conservatives are now doing. They must vote at every election so as to guarantee the eleo tion of men favoring them and their ideals. They must gain control of at least as many newspapers as are con- trolled by big business so as to be able to counteract the propaganda and views of this class. They must send lobbies to Congress to put forth their views. And the complete education of everybody must be carried out by the masses, as the conservative and big business interests have only educated the people to the principles of individ- ualism and laissez-faire.
The masses must be on their guard when this war is concluded. For while they are celebrating the victory big business will be busy trying to garner every possible plum just as they did after the last war. The masses must be on guard against the reaction that usually sets in after a war. Such a reaction is what the conservatives are hoping and waiting for and such a reaction will tend to thwart the pub- lic welfare measures and the greater control of capital by the government that the masses are desirous of attain- ing.
Only if the masses work together and keep a vigilant eye on the doings of the big business and conservative groups can they hope to succeed in gaining their ends. Only if they now join hands can they thwart the reac- tion that will set in after this war and thus keep social progress from being stagnated for the next few dec- ades. It is up to the people as in their hands lies the power to create either a true and liberal democracy or a government

The Conference opened Thursday with a plenary assembly figuring Dr.
John Linberg, Bayard A. Osborne, and Mrs. Harrison Thomas as principal speakers. Dr. Linberg, the critic of the conference, and a member of the finan- cial and economic sectors of the League of Nations Secretariat, spoke on international etiquette and tech- nique. Mr. Osborne, President of the Conference, laid down some of the fundamentals upon which a success- ful treaty must be founded, while stu- dent delegates treated the various as- pects of the problem in more detail in panel discussions. Open debate con- cluded the session.
All day Friday was taken up with the meetings of the four commissions.
In the Political Commission the dele- gates resolved that an international organization be set iip in which the United Nations would be a nucleus', other states being admitted by a two- thirds vote. It was to be a bicameral legislature, was to set up a World Court, an international Police Force, to recommend disarmament, adminia- ter colonial mandates, and set up other functional organizations.

Zoology Class Goes To Buffalo For Field Trip
Dr. H. O. Burd'ick took members of his Zoology class on a field trip to Buffalo last Thursday. The group left Alfred at 4:30 a.m. and returned to Hornell on the 12:30 a.m. train.
The group spent most of the day in the Buffalo Museum of Science in Humboldt Park viewing items of in- terest. In the afternoon the students visited the'Buffalo Zoo.
Roberta Wells '47, Beverly Large '47, John Coe '46, Dorothy Freyer '47, Corinne Pudlin '47 and Rita Haber- man '47 madei the trip, as did' Bob Ran- som, Jim Leahy '46', Mary Ann Khork '47, Arthur Suga '45 and Naomi Zae- mans '47.
A Rare Book
One of the rare and interesting books owned by the Library is an old Bible of John Rogers, the Martyr.
Rogers (1500-1555) was the first of many Protestant reformers to be burn- ed at the stake during the bloody per- secution of Queen Mary's reign.
The original translation of the Bible into English was done by John Wy- cliffe about 1384. Wycliffe's work was revised by William Tyndale, whose re- vision was more widely circulated be- cause of the invention of the printing press. Miles Coverdale continued the work of Tyndale by adding his own revisions. It is this Bible, called Cran- mer's Bible, after the Archbishop of Canterbury, who wrote a preface for it, that was published' in 1549 as a second revision of the Great Bible. It was preserved by John Rogers and his family and brought to America by a great-grandson, James Rogers.
Today, although the pages of the fa-mous book are brown and very frag- ile, the old German printing, with orn- amental letters and marginal refren- ces, is still legible. Legible, or not, it will remain as one of the most val- uable books in the Library.
Don't forget your pledges to the Campus Community Chest. Make your payments soon at the Treasurer's Office.
College Assembly
By Mrs. Evelyn T. Openhym For the first time in its history the village church was the scepe of a col- lege assembly on Thursday evening April 6. But it was no stranger to the church who gave the program for Dr.
Ray Winthrop Wingate, Director of the Music Department of Alfred Uni- versity has for many years been both choir director and organist of the local Seventh Day Baptist Church.
Dr. Wingate selected a program which he felt particularly appropriate to the Easter season and one which covered several periods of musical lit- erature.
The program included: "March of the "Holy Grail" from Parsifal—Wag- ner; "The Bells of St Anne de Beaupre," the chimes of St. Anne Church, Beaupre, Canada (actual notes) —gathering of the faithful—
chanting of the Choir "Bonne St Anne, prier pour nous"—the procession—the Miracl*—benediction—bells in dis- tance. (Beaupre, St Lawrence River 1916)—Russell; "U& Cathedrale en- gloutie," The Engulfed Cathedral—
Debussy; "Arioso"—Bach; "Kamennoi
•Ostrow," Reve Angelique—Russian Easter—Rubinstein.
The March of the Holy Grail from
"Parsifal" by Richard Wagner was an especially apt choice for this music- drama is a traditional Good Friday performance at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. The Bells of St. Anne Church in Beaupre, Canada, written by Alexander Russell, a well known organist who graduated dfrom Syra- cuse University, also was expressive of the religious fervor associated with this season.
Debussy's "The Engulfed Cathedral"
was' written in 1910 for the piano. It was written about the old Breton leg- end that when the sea is transparent in the ^clear light of morning, out of the waves rises the cathedral of Ys, its bells tolling, its prfests intoning, slowly to return again to the depths where its enchanted sleep is resumed.
There are three musical ideas, one suggesting plain chant and the organ, as if played by phantom fingers; an- other representative of the quiet sea;
the third like the slow swelling of the waves.
Although Bach wrote much for the organ the '"Arioso" played by Direc- tor Wingate is an example of Bach's use of his own material in various forms. It appears as the Sinfonia to the Cantata No. 156 "Ich Steh' mit einem Fuss im Grabe", and the slow movement of the Clavier Concerto No.
5 in F. minor as well as for a violin concerto in G. minor.
Rubinstein's "Kammennoi-Ostrow"
waa written in 1852 while Anton was on a visit in June to the beautiful, idyllic home of the Grand Duchess Helena Pavlovna on Kammenoy Is*
land in the Neva River, and is a re- flection of the summer enchantment and green peace of this northern is- land. As an encore, Dr. Wingate play- ed the. ever popular Gounod's "Ave Maria."

Los Angeles—(ACP)—It would be a mistake to abandon the manufacture of synthetic rubber after the war, ac-
cording to Dr. Thomas L. Jacobs, assistant professor of chemistry on the Los Angeles campus of the Univer- sity of California.
Admitting that synthetic rubber at present is not entirely satisfactory for every use, Dr. Jacobs says the remark- able achievement of American indus- try in creating a huge synthetic out- put in two years may be matched by laboratory discoveries which will re- sult in greatly improved products.
"The production of synthetic rubber has moved so fast there hasn't been time to carry out as much research as might be desirable," the chemist pointed out. "Even so, passenger car tires made from synthetics can be of nearly the same quality as those made from natural rubber, and further im- provements are possible."
An advantage of synthetic rubber is that it can be manufactured to suit certain uses, for instance, it is possible to make a gasoline-impervious synthet- ic for lining fuel tanks in airplanes.
Dr. Jacobs suggested that after the war it may be possible to manufacture synthetic rubber at 15 or 20 cents a pound, at which price it might com- pete economically with the natural product. However, he delcared that there are fundamental difficulties in the present polymerization process of synthetics and that further improve- ments may depend increasingly on theoretical research into the nature of the rubber molecule and the way it operates.
State College, Pa.—(ACP)—Ameri- can trappers can solve the nation's fat salvage problems and enrich their returns on furs, Dr. P. F. English of Pennsylvania State College's wildlife research unit says.
A single skunk will yield as much fat as many housewives could collect in a week and in Pennsylvania alone, 200,000 skunks are trapped annually, he adds.
Since one of the first rules for proper fur treatment is to clean all possible fat from the pelts, it was said trappers can expect higher prices for careful fat collecting.
Easter Service Conducted By Rev.A.N.Rogers
Sunday morning, April 9, an Easter Sunrise service was- held on the top of Pine Hill. Rev. Albert N. Roger3, pastor of the Seventh Day Baptist Church at Alfred Station gave a mes- sage preceeded by hymns, trumpet solo, and scripture reading.
i-'o! lowing the service a group of thirty (wo young people met at L)r.
Sen It. Crandall's home for refresh- ments and a hymn sing. This service was sponsored by the Alfred Christian Fellowship and the SDB Christian Endeavor Society.
A Negro girl, Rosalie Terry of Phil- adelphia, was chosen queen of the midwinter formal dance of West Chester State Teachers college, 90 percent of whose student body is white.
The United States now enrolls more university students than all the rest of the nations of the world together, reports Dean Edwin A. Lee of the University of California.
