UNDERCLASSMEN HOLD SUCCESSFUL
BANQUETS
FRESHMEN EXULTANT
Sophomores Attempt
Something New
Sophomores no longer peer out from behind awesome bushes in the dead still of night at every passer by, and freshmen refuse to. slink any more through the tall wet grasses, their hearts thumping a wild tattoo at the sound of the slightest breath of wind, or of a katydid scratching an itching ankle. Because banquets are all o.ver.
Thursday afternoon, it took no very observant onlooker to notice in town a steadily diminishing number of underclassmen. At seven o'clock there was not one to be seen on the streets of Alfred. Its no secret now where they went. From four o'clock late into the night parties of freshmen crept over toward the Champlin resi- dence at Five Corners. At half past ten the entire class had been ac- counted for, in the dark; there was not the semblance of a light and there, at half past ten the college youngsters held their banquet. The first two courses consisted of saltines, and welch cocktails, floating olives. Then sandwiches, and finally nabiscoes and mints, and toasts by Miss Elsie Binns, Mr. Vincent Axford, Miss Hazel Humphreys and Mr. Donald Kane.
Here is the committee that arranged it: Miss Hazel Jackson, Mr. Frobisher Lyttle, and Miss Lois Holmes.
The Sophomores strove for origin- ality, and attained it. In most diverse ways, in most diverse directions they left Alfred on Thursday afternoon. But

ALFRED VICTOR IN FIRST
GAME OF SEASON
Fast Eleven Defeats Lancaster Training Institute By Score of 53-6
THE GAME AS AL SAW IT
HELL
might be the title of a lecture to be given this Thursday night. It really isn't though. No indeedy, on Thurs- day night there's going to be a mass meeting of all the students in this town. Why is there going to be a mass meeting of all the students in this town. Why is there going to be a mass meeting? Maybe you don't know that on Friday afternoon there's going to be a football game in Alfred;
maybe you don't know that on the same afternoon when the patter of many little feet has ceased and George has quit whispering the multiplication table to a lot of men in funny, funny clothes that there's going to be an- other big victory to Alfred's credit.
The Coach won't say so, the team is too modest; but we know it. And so we are going to gather together for a brief spell on Thursday evening. Are we going to speak to each other in reassuring tones, are we going to smile encouragingly on a team already weighted down with the admiring glances of dear femininity? We are not; we're going to YELL, even the ladies. And we're going to yell like the very—enthusiastic students we
are.
Did you think that was all, hadn't you counted on anything further? Lis- ten, Bob's going to be there, and may be Reid; and Bob's going to do the Hawaiian wiggle. It's Thursday night;
the big mass meeting in the Ag Hall.
"The weather didn't stop the game,"
says Al "nor the game the crowd.
The score didn't stop at 50, nor Micky on a seventy-five yard run. No one thought they would, for Lancaster's beautiful little sylph-like team, suoci- inctly speaking, lacked beef. And any way, with slippery Moyer. Irish breeze Kane, and Ray, all derived from Syra- cuse chances seemed pretty fair, pretty fair."
Al's estimate of the team shows that "Crawford managed the eleven in excellent style and for freshmen Haines and Mahoney played good foot- ball. Kidder and Boyd were . there;
so was Lobaugh with his handsome catch. Micky insisted on seventy-five yard dashes, and Decker swung around the ends constantly. MacAllister, Pol- lock, Hagar and Negus, the Abyssinian Hope showed a good deal of determina- tion.
"A goose egg on the other end of the score," philosophizes our reporter,
"would have seemed better than an easily earned six, and a few less fum- bles would have polished the strug- gle some, but we're glad we got it,"
says Al.
"The First Quarter
started bjy Lancaster receiving the ball; but that was all. They were im- mediately held for two downs, and then, sad to relate, they threw the pigskin into Ray's hands. The Irish breeze blew the ball along far 5 yards, and a forward pass by Kidder to his brother covered 30 more. Kane breezed again for 8 and then Kidder placed it gently within a yard of the goal line, gently, but very firmly. A plunge by Crawford and the goal was crossed.
The ball later left Loby's foot and as- cended over the bar. Score: Alfred 7, Lancaster 0.
Lancaster again received the oval, but was hurled back for 5 yards. Vet- ter couldn't gain to save his life; and then just for repetition's sake, the leather egg settled again in Ray's hand. Slippery Moyer advanced 6
yards, but Micky halting the drive, forced Lobaugh to drop kick, a kick which missed its purpose and gave the foe their first down. They started ut well by a 15 and a 4 yard gain, but all through the next two onslaughts the oval stood still. They punted and regained their own ball. However, good luck deceived them by a fumble, and Slippery was sprinting 15 yards.
ALFRED vs.
THIEL
Friday, Oct. 12
TICKETS, 50 CENTS
A cris-cross play and Lobaugh had the football under the bar. A moment later, he sent it over. Score: Alfred 14, Lancaster 0.
The enemy kicked to us, and Deck grabbed the oval. Soon we were pen- alized 5 yards; and then we failed to make a successful forward. Luck changed in an instant as Deck rolled the leather egg 5 yards, Slippery slid it 20, and Lobaugh took it the remain- ing 30 to the hen's nest: Alfred 20, Lancaster 0.
The struggle re-embarked. Skidder rushed 4 yards. A pass to Ray and the ball stopped 10 yards farther on.
j And so did the quarter.
The Second Quarter
opened with Kane's breeze carrying us 10 yards down the field. But through a series of ineffectual dashes, Lancas- ter received the ball. Three suc- cessive penalties followed. They punted (Lancaster did) and Lobaugh caught it (the ball). But in an in-

DEAN MAIN DELEGATE TO
FEDERAL COUNCIL OF CHURCHES
The Federal Council of Churches which is a delegated body of thirty or more Protestant denominations, has met recently in Pittsburg. Dean Main of the Theological Seminary was there.
The object of the council, which meets once in every year, is to en- courage co-operatien of all the Protest- ant churches in temperance, evange-1 listic, social, and all kinds of religious | work which a r e carried on more or j less independently at the present time.
There is an executive committee which meets annually, and an adminis- j trative body which meets monthly in New Yrork City.
At the recent convention over five hun- dred delegates from over one hundred and thirty different cities and towns in thirty different states were present to discuss the mobilization of Chris-
tian forces in every community, along lines of Christian endeavor. John R.
Mott was present, and Dr. MacDonald of the Toronto Globe. A committee of a hundred men was appointed to take charge of army and navy co-oper- ative Christian work.
CERAMIC ENGINEERS TO MEET WEDNESDAY EVENING
The New York State Students' Branch of the American Ceramic So- ciety will meet for the first time this year on Wednesday at seven o'clock in the Ceramic School. The date has been changed to Wednesday evening because of the University faculty meeting on Tuesday. Plans for the coming year will be discussed. All Ceramic Engineers are expected to turn out for this meeting especially the Freshmen.
CHAPEL ADDRESS ON BOOKS
j WAR AND REGISTRATION- A COMPARATIVE CHART
PROFESSOR CLAWSON
SPEAKS IN ASSEMBLY
Because the appreciation of books has so much to do with an intimate [ knowledge of them and a convenient method of finding what one is looking for in them, Prof. C. R. Clawson ad- dressed the student assembly in chapel Wednesday morning on "Master Spirits in Literature from a Library Viewpoint." The discussion was not entirely an explanation of a library system; a good share of it was pure appreciation of the value of books—of the great books from which all the secondary writings draw their inspira- tion "These great works that rise above the professional or common place uses and take possession of a whole na- tion or a whole age." The Bible, Homer, Dante, Shakespeare and Goe- the might be mentioned as the greatest
books of life because they give "the most complete revelation of what life has brought and has been to the lead- ing races."
The professor included a descrip- tion of the more generally used library classification system, and the Fiat prints quite fully that part of his ad- dress since the system is the one used in our own library:
"The scheme of grouping most fre- quently used by libraries is the Dewey classification This system, devised by Mr Melvil Dewey, divides the field of knowledge into ten main classes which are represented by figures, thus: 0 General works, 1 Philosophy, 2 Religion, 3 Sociology, 4 Philosophy, 5 Natural Science, 6 Useful arts, 7 Fine arts, 8 Literature, 9 History. Every book added to the library and classi-

STUDENT SENATE OFFICERS
The Student Senate, which is the governing body of the college, has elected its officers. The president, Mr. Clifford Potter, was elected last spring by the retiring and newly chosen senate bodies in joint session.
Miss Anna Savage has since been elected vice president, and Miss Ger- trude Wells, secretary.
The Senate meets regularly each week on Tuesday evening.
Women Predominate
COLLEGE CREDIT FOR
CHURCH WORK
A class of men for the Sociological Study of the Bible was formed Satur- day, September 30, at the S. D. B. Sab- bath School The work will be con- ducted by Dean Main of the Theologi- cal Seminary and one hour college credit will be given to those who satisfactorily complete the required work. There will be a minimum of fifteen exercises or meetings a sem- ester with at least one hour's outside reading a week. The class work will consist of lectures on the sociological principles of the Old Testament and how they may be applied to present j day problems. There will also be dis-
cussions of questions and problems arising from the outside reading. The class was started with eight members, and if interest and attendance warrant it, the consent of the Faculty may be obtained to continue the course through the New Testament next sem- ester.
INTERESTING PROPHECY OF NORMAL CONDITION
The Registrar has arranged a con- sistent little chart to demonstrate how the war has affected registration:
Classes iyien Women 1 0 H M 7 11117-18 101(>-17 11)17-18 Seniors 14 « 20 1 5 J u n i o r a 11 10 1 5 I T Sophomores 21 2 1 2 1 22 ITresbinen :;» Hi 2 5 21
Reading across shows the present comparison of last year's and this year's classes, reading from left to the square diagonally to the right and one above shows the loss of a class.
An interesting amount of detail might be culled from the chart. One evi- dent fact is, that though the number of men has decreased, by a large ratio, the entering class of women is even larger than that of last year. If to employ a little logic, this year's fresh- man class of men had increased in the same proportion as the class of women, this year would have had the largest enrollment in the history of the col- lege.
NOTES FROM THE AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL
With an enrollment of but ninty- three students, the State School of Ag- riculture is nevertheless launched on.
what promises to be a most success- ful year. There are rea.sons. In the I last few years the growing number of I Agricultural students has seriously
| taxed the school's capacity; the build- ing was crowded. For this year, at.
j least, the war alters conditions. With I the same number of classes, students I will be able to receive much more per-
sonal attention.
Mr. W. B. Barnhart of Mercer, Pa.,.
I takes the place of Prof. Pontius. H&
j is a graduate of Pennsylvania State i College in the department of Animal i Husbandry, and for thuee years has taught in one of the township agri- cultural schools of Pennsylvania. He is to take charge of his classes October fifteenth.
On Monday evening, Oct. 8, the I Country Life Club gave their annual
reception to the new students. The reception was held in Agricultural Hall.
The Alfred Grange will give a recep- tion on Wednesday evening to the stu- . dents and faculty of N. Y. S. A.
! The Country Life Club will hold its first meeting on Thursday evening.
1 The officers for the first term are to
! be elected.
CARD CATALOGUE TALK The card catalogue talk which was to have been given last Thursday after- noon by Prof. Clawson has been post- poned to this week Thursday. The talk was to have been for freshmen They were all on their way to a ban- quet and the Professor had no audience The talk will be given this Thursday afternoon at 4:30 in the library office.
SENATE DECISIONS
The Sophomores are the victors in the Proc contest. The Senate has said so, and the Senate is in a position to
\now. Tonight, when the question of the banquets is to be settled, undoubt- edly the decision will disclose a vic- tory for both sides.
BOOKS FROM A LIBRARIAN'S V I E W P O I N T
Continued from page one
fied according to this system must fall into one of these classes. Every figure in the system has a meaning from the library point of view, e. g., 973 means class 9 (History) Division 7 (North America) Section 3 (United States) hence all books on United States history will be placed under 973.
Similarly 512 means Class 5 (Natural science Division 1 (Mathematics) Sec- tion 2 (Algebra) and every algebra will be numbered 512. The books on the shelves and the cards in the cat- alogue are arranged in numerical or- der. As each subject has a definite number it follows that all books on a given subject will stand together. Thus 512 stands for Algebra and naturally precedes 513 Geometry and both will follow 511 Arithmetic. ,The card cat- alogue is called a dictionary catalogue because it is arranged alphabetically like a dictionary, under author, title and subject. Perhaps every dictionary was made first on cards' and then printed on sheets. If the books in the library were catalogued in like man- ner and printed on sheets it would have the disadvantage of being out of date as soon as printed in view of the fact that new books are constantly coming into the library. The card cat- alogue grows at the same rate at which the library grows. The card system today is not only in use in nearly every library but is also common in all tranches of business. The card cat- alogue has proven itself more expedi- tious, more easily consulted and it can be kept entirely up to date. All books have author cards, some have title cards. Many requests come for titles of books the author's name being un- known, some know the author and not the title while many others may re- quest books on certain subjects and will want to know what the library contains on this particular subject.
The dictionary catalogue therefore should answer these three questions.
It will be found that the numbers on the cards in the catalogue correspond to the numbers on the books as arranged in the various eases, numer- ically from 0 to 999. In the upper left hand corner of each card is written the call number of the book it de- scribes and this number indicates the location of the book on the shelves.
After the card catalogue there is perhaps no library tool so important as the periodical index. These indexes also might have been printed on cards but they are printed in book form so finy library may purchase them and not have to work them out for itself as in the case of the book catalogue.
For material on current topics we have no place to go except to the mag- azines. In view of the multiplicity of periodicals it would be a hopeless task were it not for these indexes which en- able us to turn at once to the exact volume and page. Poole's index and the Readers' Guide to Periodical Liter- ature are the two great magazine in- dexes.
One purpose of the library is to pro- vide a place where people may go to find information. This purpose is served by the reference collection of

Prof. J. B. Shaw spoke in the Men's Association Sunday evening. He dis- cussed churches and church member- ship. Reading portions of an article by Mr. Roosevelt on that question, and adding as he read running com- ment and criticism, the Professor reasoned for a stricter observance of the one day in seven, and more par- ticularly for church attendance. "It isn't impossible" argued Mr. Shaw,
"to live a morally righteous life with- out attending a church service," but the superlatively ethical life belongs to the man of relgiion."
collection may include an almost end- less number of books depending upon the size and importance of the library.
The nucleus of such a collection ought to include such books as Webster's dic- tionary—New International completely revised with a dictionary of biography and geography; the Century Diction- ary and Cyclopaedia with an atlas of the world. For ready reference per- haps t h e New International Cyclo- paedia furnishes the most reliable in- formation. These together with the Encyclopaedia Britannica, a most scholarly production, constitute the most thorough and reliable productions of this nature in the reference collec- tion. The New International Year Book, a compendium of the world's progress; Statesman's year book con- taining statistics and descriptive mat- ter regarding all countries of the world; the Statistical Atlas of the United States; newspaper almanacs with political and educational informa- tion; items or articles concerning col- lege and university presidents, ath- letics, election returns, etc, are all of value. Who's Who, an annual bi- ographical dictionary, is valuable for brief biographies. Various books of quotations, indexes to poetry and reci- tation, handbooks on various subjects are among the helpful books of the reference collection. With a working knowledge of these and many more tools • not mentioned but of almost equal value, found in most libraries, one may readily gain access to the highways of literature. It is not un- til one has gained full knowledge of the resources of any library from the library standpoint that ever inviting fields of literature are opened up to the inquiring student.

If Alfred's football team hadn't so unhesitatingly detained Lancaster's ambition, the Fiat might have with a great deal less propriety offered this opinion. We want to say something, if we can possibly get started on it, about losing games. Without sup- posing for an instant that Alfred will lose a single game this season, the Fiat is nevertheless strong for a spirit that is going to stick in any event.
The best time to develop that atti- tude, the most convincing time to ex- press it, is when Alfred leads. We are going to win every contest because we play the game hard, and play it well. Just the same our enthusiasm is broad enough to cover any possi- bility. Under all conditions it's our team; and we're proud of it.

Frankly, we don't know just why a freshman is, except that the state described allows the titled one infinite opportunity for improvement. But it is only when the freshman himself Tails to realize his utter nothingness that o-ur ignorance troubles us into expression. We shall have to ac- knowledge that first year students are necessary nuisances; we were fresh- men once ourselves. Still, the em- phasis should rest on the descriptive adjective rather than on the noun.
It is a tradition, and a quite worthy One, that first year students shall be, So long as they are freshmen, willing to learn the bitter lesson of humility.
At least, they must learn to preserve its appearance.
This is no carping criticism of the present freshman class. The few vio- lations which suggested these para- graphs were due, perhaps, to some Jnisapprehension on the part of the offenders, but the Spirit of 1921 is not under judgment. This is simply to explain that the extra tasks and the extra courtesies required of freshmen Sire not required in any magnanimous hor in any over bearing spirit. They fire asked naturally and as a part of a Very old college tradition that is still loo useful to be ignored. The col- lege is certain that 1921 will carry on j lhat tradition of its own free will' v ithout having even to consider the possibility of punishment provided for those wha purposely offend.
I And now we haven't decided just why a freshman is. But if you are One, don't be ashamed to be a real one and to assume the responsibilities that belong to you just as reasonably as they have to every freshman class that lias preceded you.
It's difficult for a normal man to Create a graceful impression of lunacy.
But when a candidate does his level best and approaches somewhere near i Success, he is deserving of encourage-1 tnent. Reid and Sherwood attempted it, and though the Fiat is bound to admit that in the gestures the wrist didn't lead forever first, they did keep the crowd gathered, they kept their patience undishonored, and there was noise. A not bad beginning asks only more experience and a little more movement of a little less conscious abandon. When the students have practiced, as they all will on Thursday night, there is bound to be much more unity as well.
Not our idea but someone's else that if you want to know what you think, make a speech. If the Fiat could define victory, without a doubt it wouldn't care to. But it delights in .the delectable impossible, and Shoulders the beautiful unreal.

NEW CHEMICAL APPARATUS A new uniform temperature bath has been installed in Babcock Hall for ex- periments in physical chemistry. It is a copper tank about three feet square and two and a half feet deep. It is covered with wool and plasterboard to I retain the heat. Fenner made it ac- cording to plans drawn up by the chemistry department.
The tank is to be filled with water which is then treated automatically even by gas. Experiments in physi- cal chemistry often require a uniform temperature as for example in determ- ining the speed of a chemical reaction at a given temperature, and it is for such use that the apparatus has been constructed. The bath is accurate to a fraction of a degree, and contains a thermometer sensitive to a thousandth of one degree.
FACULTY MEETING
Prof. Mix is to speak at the faculty meeting this week on the "Supervision of University Teaching' This is a new phase of the recent educational movement to produce a more uniform system in public schools. Further- more, it is a phase that demands speci- al attention because of a difference now existing in college curriculum much greater than that in surrounding schools.

THE GAME AS AL SAW IT Continued from page one
complete forward, the ball was lostj for a moment. Micky recovered it, j and Lobaugh on the next play brought j it safely to port, adding another whiz over the bar. Score: Alfred 27, Lan- caster 0.
Well, hostilities resumed, and we soon lost the spheroid. The enemy was penalized but redeemed their loss by a successful forward drive. They were held, however, and on attempt- ing to punt, drove the ball into our line. A forward later was handed to I Bauer, who secured the rival's only touchdown. Score: Alfred 27, Lan- caster 6.
Thus scored on, Alfred's determina- tion to. score ended only with a fumble, a successful forward by the rival and another charge which brought the ball within one yard of the goal. Our line stiffened. A cannon ball couldn't have penetrated the walls. The whistle signaled the end of the first half.
In the Third Quarter
Big Ray started by running up to the 40 yard line, the Breeze adding 5 more, a forward 3, and then an equal amount by Kidder, who a moment later seized the leather sphere on a pass and crossed under the bar. When the goal was kicked the score stood: Al- fred 34. Lancaster 6.
So on the line-up, Slippery Moyer ran through tackle for 5 yards, Deck donated 15 and a dash around the east end of the hen ocop by Loby caused an equal contribution. Skidder run- ning through center found himself in the front yard with everything lovely.
Score: Alfred 41, Lancaster 6.
First downs were again made until a fumble came, taken by Schaffer. Lan- caster was held and the whistle blew.
The Fourth Quarter saw Slippery catch Lancaster's pass A moment later Bauer caught one; but Lancaster couldn't keep it. So Ray ad- vanced 25 yards on a kick formation tagged by a 5 yards left end run by Decker, 15 by Moyer, and another touchdown It might have been worse.
Score: Alfred 47, Lancaster 6.
With some quick manoevering Skid- der started to hammer once more, and by long gains by Bangor, Decker, and Moyer, the last mentioned was enabled to cross the line. Final score: Alfred 53, Lancaster 6. And then it was al) over except for the shouting.
