Alfred To Enter Men In Mid-Atlantic Track Meet In Lancaster, Pa.
Bob, Ludwig, Argenteri or Pedu To Participate In College Competition
Officially the track season closes this week at Alfred but it leaves the campus with quite a busy week-end as the Mid Atlantic Intercollegiate Meet is scheduled for his week at Lancaster, Penna. In this meet, in which Alfred will compete, are the colleges of Rutgers, Swarthmore, Hav- erford, John Hopkins, Lehigh, Lafay- ette, Bucknell, Delaware, Pen Military College, Jainiata, and Franklin and Marshall. Alfred will enter two and possibly three men. Joe Bob will com- pete in the high jump; and Ludwig in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Argen- teri may go as the quarter mile entry or Pedue as the pole vault or half-mile entry. Ludwig is the only hold-over from Alfred's previous track team and while running in 1942 was undefeated in dual meet competition. Joe Bob has shown good form in the high jump as he is very near the six foot mark.
The men who have been working out daily, mainly in preparation for the excellent cross-country schedule next fall, are, Joe Bob, high jump;
Ludwig, 100 and 220 yard dash; Ar- genteri, quarter mile; Pedue and Clark, pole vault and half mile; Skin- ner, javelin; Doherty, running broad jump; Fred Clark, half mile; Powers, 220 and quarter mile; Gegner, half mile; Serdock, 220 and quarter mile;
and Powell, one and two mile.
Next week all tnese men and all those interted will have the opportun- ityy to meet and become acquainted with the new cross country coach, Mr.
Getz. Inside information also has it that a cinder track will be installed this summer around either the prac- tice field or the football field. By next year Alfred will be well prepared for full inter-collegiate competition in track.
WAGE Invites Girls To Social Hour Thursday

Old-English "A's" and blazers will be awarded to the outstanding senior athletes, and awards will also be niade to the cheerleaders.
Know Your Alumni
In an attempt to acquaint pres- ent students with alumni, this column will present the story of the careers of one or two former Alfred students each week.
Margaret Neuwiesinger Gray '21
An alumna who transferred her keen interest in college activities to civic affairs is Margaret Gray.
As an undergraduate she was an active member and many times offi- cer of the Student Senate, Footlight Club, Y.W.C.A., and Athletic Associa- tion. Her present activities are even more varied, and include the Ameri- can Legion; Bridgeton Club, of which she is past president; Bridgeton Girls Community Club, which she organized and directed for three years; to men- tion a few. She also is the permanent Council Representative Member of the city Girl Scout Committee, past mem ber of the Salvation Army Advisory Board, and a charter member of the Cumberland Branch of the American Association of University Women. In 1940 she was nominated for the out- standing citizen's award in the city.
Her interest in sports also contin- ued after she left college. For two seasons she held the Philadelphia Bowling Championship for Women, and is one of the few women to have bowled a perfect game. She was one of the organizers of the local summer playgrounds and hobby shows, is past president and past secretary of the Bridgeton Recreation Committee, and for four years was director of the city girls' basketball league. She has also spent a number of summers in girls' camps directing land sports, boating, arts and'crafts, and has been a member of the city tennis team for a number of years.
In the field of radio Mrs. Gray has also been very active. For a length

Chaplain B. Davie Napier
Mexican Production Staged For Students
Last Thursday morning, Alumni Hall was the scene once again of grease pain and make-up kits, trade- marks of the annual Footlight Club players.
Colorful and lively, this year's pre- sentation, "The Red Velvet Goat,"
boasted, among its many attributes, a live goat. To be sure, it was white without even a red velvet spot, but such a disappointment was soon for- gotten when Esteban, ably played by Spike Rodies '47 and his vivacious and determined wife, Marianna, well por- trayed by Margaret Laurie '46, demon- strated how a white goat may be changed into a red dress.
The ingredients for this magical fete included a large portion of happy- go-lucky Mexican atmosphere, an ample dose of humor, and a dash of romance centered about and in a play within the play.
The author of the play is Esteban, who, with illusions of being a great writer, has decided to use his talent to obtain money enough to buy a goat.
His play, a great drama highlighted by wrong entrances, forgetting of lines, dropping of mustaches, and intermit- tant conversations with the audience, is a huge success as only he, his wife, his lovesick son, Lorenzo (played by Robert Roderick '48), and a loquacious promotor, Clifford Smith '49, can make it.
However, he makes one grave mis- take, that of cutting up his wife's red velvet wedding gown to adorn the prompters box. Marianna, who has a mind of her own.uses the proceeds from the play to purchase a new red dress instead of a goat.
Thursday's performance left the audience looking forward to next year's Footlight Club production with great anticipation.
Mrs. Ada B. Seidlin Presents Recital
Prof. Ada Becker Seidlin will pre- sent a group of her piano students in recital Sunday evening, May 19, at 7:00 in Social Hall.
An annual event, this spring recital is looked forward to each year by stu- dents, faculty and townspeople, all of whom are cordially invited to attend again this year.
Among those who will perform next Sunday are the following college stu- dents: June Allan '48, Mary Alice But- ler '47, Corinne Herrick '47, Nonna Jacox '48, Grace Bradley '49, Roxanne Robarts '48, Lois Sutton '48 and Cyn- thia Leban '46.
ChaplainNapier Accepts Job In Georgia College
"Why is 'Chaplain' leaving Alfred?—
Who'll replace him?—How can any- one ever do as good a job as he's done here?" These are typical com- ment that have been encircling the campus since Chaplain Napier's recent announcement of his resignation, to be effective after this term.
In answer to the inquiry concerning his decision to work in Georgia, 'Chap- lain' replies simply, "I'm a Southern- er at heart and feel the call to return where I know there is a great need for religious education. My parents lived in Georgia for many years. I'm at ease with the Southern people, whereas many Northerners have dif- ficulty in orienting themselves there.
'Chaplain' expects his new duties in the University of Georgia will include directing a new department of re- ligion, organizing a chapel program, teaching and counseling students.
Dr. Napier was born (1915) in China, where his parents were missionaries.
After completing two years of high school there he returned to the "United States, graduated, and attended col- lege (Howard) in Birmingham, Ala- bama. After one year (1936-37) at the Southern Baptist Seminary in Louisville, he went to Yale Divinity School where he received a B.D. de- gree in 1939. After teaching and preaching in Alabama, Connecticut and Massachusetts, he received the Ph.D. degree at Yale.
Alfred students will not soon forget the vigorous sermons 'Chaplain' has delivered in the Union University church, which are inevitably sprinkled with humorous personal incidents. No less inspirational have been his class lectures and active participation in R.F.A. meetings. His liberal theology and strong opposition to race pre- judice have impressed large numbers of students.
Above all, Chaplain Napier will be remembered for his congenial per- sonality and natural ability to enter- tain. He and his wife have been guests at a great deal of Alfred's so- cial functions. Often 'Chaplain' is asked to play and sing some of his lively melodies, one of which is "Adam Never Had No Mammy," (already be- coming a classic for its popularity.)
Even as much as we hate to see him go, Dr. Napier regrets leaving the many friends he has acquired in Al- fred the past two years. Of course, University chaplains may come and go; but there will only be one Chap lain Napier-
Club Sponsors InformalDance In Men's Gym
Under the auspices of the Newman Club, an informal dance was held at the men's gym on Friday night, May 10. The dance lasted from eight to twelve, during which time the seven- ty couples who attended the affair satiated themselves with refresh- ments, and with dance music provided by the "Rhythm Kings." The gym was decorated in a main pattern of yellow and white crepe paper streamers ar- ranged in a canopy effect.
The chaperones who attended the dance were: Dr. and Mrs. Hall, Mr.
and Mrs. McMahon, Dr. and Mrs. War- ren, Mr. and Mrs. Whitney, and Mr and Mrs. Nord. The various commit- tees for the dance were headed by Rose Shuster '49, decorations, Margar- et Laurie '46, refreshments, Tony Cal- vino, tickets, and Elizabeth Lee, publi- city.
It was quite evident throughout the evening that the couples that attended the dance spent an enjoyable evening

B. B. Crandall Takes Position In Syracuse U.
Treasurer of Alfred. University for the past six years, Mr. Burton B. Cran- dall has1 presented his resignation to the Board of Trustees in order that he may accept an apppintmlent as Associate Professor in the Department of Transportation, College of Business Administration, Syracuse University.
Mr. Crandall will begin his new work at Syracuse in the autumn.
A major in economics and political science, Mr. Crandall graduated from the University of California in 1928.
.tie received his Masters' degree in 1930 from the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration.
There he majored in Transportation, and following graduation, he was ap- pointed Associate Professor of Econ- omics at Alfred University. In 1934- 35, he was granted a year's1 leave of absence to continue his work for the Doctor's degree at the University of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Crandall was appointed Assis- tant Treasurer of the University in 1937, and in January of 1940, upon the retirement of the late Mr. Curtis F.
Randolph, he assumed the Treasurer- ship. In his position as treasurer, Mr.
Crandall has visited many universities and colleges, seeking detailed informa- tion Qf the accounting sytems used by them, and has thus effected a sys- tem for Alfred University which, up- on the approval of the auditors, has been used for several years. In 1942, the general supervision of Buildings, Grounds, and Boarding Clubs was transferred to the Treasurer's office, and Mr. Crandall has held the dual position of Treasurer-Business Manag- er since that time.
During his sixteen years' residence in Alfred, Mr. Crandall has taken an active interest in church and public affairs, with an emphasis on young people's work. Mr. Crandall is a di- rector of the Alfred Mutual Building and Loan Association, a member of the Masonic Lodge, and of the Rotary Club of Wellsville.
True Confession
I am glass. I am as old at time yet newer than tomorrow's unborn dawn—
I am the eye of science—I am beauti- ful and retain my lustrous beaty per- manently.
There is a story: I was first pro- duced accidentally by the fusion of sand and soda in an open fire. There is another story unfolding on Thurs- day, May 16, 1946, at 7:30 p.m., in the Physics Hall—a film showing how I am born in Modern Era.
Dr. Vogt, physicist, Corning Glass Works, Corning, N. Y., will show the film and relate some of my numerous properties. I am sure my confessions will interest you in general, and the Ceramic School students in particular.
Come one, come all, and listen to my confession—strange and true.
Thanks.

Club To Collect Used Books For Caen University
Friday, May 17, has been chosen by the French Club for a "Journee de Caen," Caen Day. This week, the club is conducting a drive in the village to obtain donations of books for the Uni- versity of Caen, which was completely destroyed during the siege of June- July 1944. In this undertaking, Alfred is1 joining with other universities which, under the leadership of Colum- bia University, are helping to restore the Norman French University which dates from the fifteenth century.
Students- may not be able to contri- bute many books, but it is hoped that they will interest friends here and at home in the project.
Acceptable are American or Europ- ean books in literature, philosophy, history, the sciences—including files of periodicals. Donors- may put their names in the books if they wish. All books will be marked with the name of Alfred University.
In the vllage, books will be collected from doorsteps by young "Normans"
after four o'clock next Friday after- noon. Any collection made by stu- dents later may be left in the Kenyon Hall toWer room.
Carillonneurs Honor Former Guild Leader
The members of the Guild of Caril- lonneurs of North America will dedi- cate their programs on Sunday, May 19, to William Gorham Rice, Honoray President of the Guild, who passed away last year, and to his grandson, Peter Eliot Rice, 17th Air Corps Staff Sergeant who lost his life over Luzon.
Dr. Ray W. Wingate, a member of the Guild, will play the following program from 3 to 4 p. m.
The first group of selections will consist of: "The Song of the Bell"
by Randolph; "America," and the
"Prayer," from Hansel and Gretel.
The secound group will be made up of the ''Belgian Mother's Song" by Be- noit; "Preludium for Carillon" by Denyn; and "Brabanconne" by Von Campenhout. The third group will be the "Alfred Bells Suite" by Lefevere;
1. "Morning," (Preludium); 2. "On The Campus," (Mazurka); 3. "Eve- ning Bells," (Fautasia). The fourth and last group will consist of the
"Army Air Corps Song," "Holland Na- tional Hymn," and the "Star Spangled Banner".
Fiat Staff Renews Banquet Tradition
For the first time since before the war, the staff of the FIAT held its an- nual banquet. Fifty people, including staff members, representatives of the faculty, and guests, attended the af- fair at the Parish House, Thursday, May 9.
Kalope Giopulos '46, former editor- in-chief of the FIAT, was general chair- man of the affair, and also acted as toastmistress. During the dinner, Miss Giopulos handed the program over to Corinne Herrick '47, this year's editor, who introduced Fred Clark '47, next year's editor-in-chief.
The dinner of turkey, mashed po- tatoes, peace, ice cream, and coffee was prepared by Bob Corsaw.
The FIAT staff hopes that it has re-established the precedent of annual staff banquets, and judging from the success of the one just held, it is quite probable that this is so.
Women Requested To See Dean About Dorm Rooms
All women living in The Brick or Bartlett who have not already seen Dean Degen about rooms for next year are requested to see her as soon as possible. This includes sorority as well as nonsorority women.
Crawford Elected President
Joe Crawford '49 was elected presi- dent of the Newman Club at a meet- ing of the club last Thursday, May 9.
At the meeting also, the Newman Club decided to postpone election of other
officers until fall.
Long-awaited Moving-Up Day has finally arrived. The day after tomor- row, freshmen will become sopho- mores, sophomores will move up to junior status, juniors will become seniors, and seniors will move out.
Activities of the day will begin with assembly Thursday morning, when the new President of the Student Senate, Bill White, takes over his new duties.
Seniors will attend the assembly in traditional cap and gown garb.
It has been customary that no classes be held during the afternoon, when Moving-Up Day activities take the limelight. A frosh-soph men's pushball contest will be followed by a girl's Softball game, in which the freshmen will try to down the sopho- mores. There is a possibility that a men's Softball game be held on the field near Theta Gamma. In the after- noon also, Prof Getz will take the cross-country team over the cross- country courses.
A number of special privileges will be extended to students on Thursday.
These include the opening of Social Hall and the Union until 11:00 and the showing of the movie on both Wednesday and Thursday nights.
Also, all girls on campus have 11:00 permissions.
Last year, quite a few students found themselves thrown into Prexy's pool by some of their more "rash" class- mates, and therefore it has been an- nounced that this year, Prexy's Pool will not be filled until after Moving- Up Day.
In the past, Movihg-Up Day has well illustrated the spirit of Alfred, and judging from the anticipation with which this year's Moving-Up Day is being awaited, Thursday should be no exception.
Students Elect Class Officers For New Year
Election for next year's sophomore, junior, and senior class officers were held last week. Last Friday, May 10, the class of '47 chose Doug Case aa President of the Senior Class to suc- ceed Mae Barrus '46.

With Due Respect
This weeks Fiat has been restricted to two pages because of a shortage of paper. Due to the recent transportation shifts by the railroads we were unable to obtain our shipment of paper.
We would like to apologize for the briefness of this paper, but out of due respect to Mr. John L. Lewis, it might be fitting that his apology be forthcoming.
Mr. Lewis, it seems, has been making "nfonkeys" out of congress for many years. This time he and his United Mine Workers through their strikes have caused a serious tie-up in transportation and industry. Plants, through- out the nation, have either been forced to close or limit the amount of pro- duce, until coal is again mined.
Soft coal supplies in New York State have dropped to a ''critical" low and are approaching the "emergency" stage, according to Charles H. Sells, state emergency fuel director, who was appointed by Gov. Dewey last Thurs- day.
Supplies at Federal, Military and Naval establishments within the state appear to be suffiicent to meet immediate needs. Meanwhile, brown out pro- grams are in effect throughout the state to stretch the coal as far as possible.
Our own coal pile at the heating plant has been so depleated, that we, had in effect last week already a brownout program.
To get back to Mr. Lewis: We know, too, that the miners work under adverse conditions. But what does this so-called spokesman for the miners, care for the miners. From many stories circuiting about we gather that he doesn't even go near the mines. Whenever there has been a mine explosion or mishap somewhere, and lives are taken, Mr. Lewis remains at his hotel in some distant city.
Whenever a person becomes powerful enough that by a mere snap of his finger he can cause a national emergency then it is time some sort of con- gressional action be taken to "put him in his place". It might well be better to have a "shortage" of Mr. Lewis.
College Town

Spring Practice Over Until Fall
Four weeks of indoor drill and two weeks of outdoor practice culminated the Saxon spring football practice last week.
The six weeks of practice proved very worthwhile. Indoors, • the coach was able to drill the squad on the plays and to stress some of the funda- mentals of football. In doing this he was able to straighten out a num- ber of ideas which had been brought along from high school football teams.
On the sod, some very promising ma- terial was uncovered. Outstanding of the newcomers were Earl Robbins, Ray Gorenflo, and Richard Metskier.
Jim Kehoe was back in action, the only former member on the squad.
Also back is Dick Zigler, who played frosh football in '41.
Robbins AT is a 185 lb. fullback from Wellsville, who runs hard and fast.
He shows good prospects of making a regular berth next fall. Ray Goren- flo, another AT and vet, has been working at running guard position.
From Buffalo, Ray shows promise of developing into one of the best guards ever to don the Purple and Gold uni- form. From Hackensack, N. J., hails Dick Metskier, a center who has stood out this spring for his fine blocking.
Besides these men, there are twelve others who have been invited to Fall Camp because of the display of their ability. The men who have been re- quested to return for preseason prac- tice, beginning September 3, are: End, Bob Whitford, Bolivar; Tackles, Hen- ry Zygumunt, Buffalo, Don Jonas, Frankfort, Bob Whalen, Lockport, John Carabillo, Wappinger Falls;
Guard, John Heebner, Stewart Manor;
Center, Harry Barnes, Williamsville;
and Backs, Darrel Travis, Corning, Charles Deignan, Long Island, Domi- nick Yozzo, Newburg. Along with these men there will be new men to bring the total candidates at presea- son practice to about 45 men. Those men who have not been selected for preseason camp are urged to report when college opens. They will be

Wisconsin was the first state to authorize high school contracts for student flight instruction. The State Department of Public In- struction has worked out a pro- gram of four hours of flight ex- perience to supplement classroom aviation studies. The action of Wisconsin provides a model for the enabling legislation required in many states before high school flight instruction can be given.
Other states which have drawn up plans for flight experience in con- nection with high school aviation courses include Ohio, Alabama, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Tennes- see, Texas and the District of Co- lumbia.
given a chance at positions on both the varsity and javees.
In regard to the strength of team we will have next fall, Coach Yune- vich is a little hesitant in making any predictions. With so many new men it will take time to develop a smooth running combination. With 1946 as a year of building, the 1947 team should be up to the Saxon standard and ought to be a great team for Alfred.
No matter how strong the team will be, let's all get behind it and push those Saxons onward.

'Neath The Carillon
Six mountain climbers and two dogs were off to have a picnic in the rain last Saturday. 'Course their salami sandwiches were a bit soggy when they arrived at the top of Pine Hill, but they didn't particlarly care. They bilt a little fireplace and roasted frankfrters and marshmallows, while the fire sizzled- shyly, belied by the rain. After a few hours in the deluge they soght the warmth of Kappa Del- ta, where they continued to roast marshmallows. . . over a match.
We became qquite attached to the goat the Footlight Club used in its recent play. Had to be careful about leaving papers around, though. Caught it eating some trig homework. Some- one had to follow it around with a broom and a mop, but we liked it any- way.
We've heard many explanations con- cerning the Hornell-Alfred road. The most acceptable is that the road out of town is rougher because people drive like the devil to get away from Alfred.
But then, so many come back from Hornell loaded that we got sort of confused every time we looked at the smooth westbound side of the road.
We set out this week to solve the problem. Stopping alongside a road gang, we asked the foreman if he would kindly explain the matter.
He chawed rapidly on a chunk of tobacco and spit right over our rear fender. "You folks sure get weird ideas. A guy sort of expects intel- ligence from you Alfredians." He spit contemptuously. I pulled out my handkerchief to wipe off the spray.
"There must be SOME logical ex- planation. Some reason why the road into Hornell is full of bumps and holes, and the one back is smooth as a Jer- sey highway!"
He spit out all the tobacco in his mouth and in near apoplexy cut an- other fresh slab. "Jersey highways!
Who you try in' to kid, feller? A few years ago the highway department thought they'd try out a new kind of composition. So they put the old stuff on one side, and the new on the other."
"Which side is new?" we asked, al- ways interested in the advances made in road composition.
"Why the eastbound is the new stuff . . . or is it the westbound? Hey, Hal, which side of the road is made out of the new stuff?"
"Darned if I know? Commissioner was just askin' me the other day. . . says unless we remember, we'll have to make the test all over again. . ."
We let out the clutch and started off again, just missing another spray of tobacco. For some reason, that road still bothers us.
We're beginning to feel just like

In this case, it's not exactly the UNO that wants to move in. Seems that there's going to be a dam built down around the Beacon. We talked with a farmer who was poking about the ruins of his home which had been pull- ed down. "They think by building a dam down here that they can control threatening flood waters and irrigate the valley. If you ask me, I think it'll a heck of a lot dryer after they build the dam." We looked over our should- er toward the Beacon and understood exactly what he meant. At least there is one good thing about the dam. It will beautify the valley. But what really worries us is this: when they move the highway up by the railroad tracks, will they remember which kind of road material to use? Or will it be a fifty-fifty chance?
There is a man whom we knew in the Erie Shops that promises stream- lined trains on the railroad before the end of the year., "It will speed up schedules tremendously," he boasted.
Good! We thought. Now we can make it up here from New York eleven minutes faster!
