GROTESQUE HORDE OF HAL- LOWE'EN REVELERS

MAKE MERRY Academy Hall Again Open to

Masqueraders

A dazzling array of colors and grotesque costumes were in evidence last Saturday evening when the Alfred Uni- vrsity students held their annual Hal- lowe'en masquerade at Academy Hall.

It is safe to say that no character from any walk of life lacked full repre- sentation at this ghostly festival. The party was a veritable melting pot of humanity where gorgeous lords and ladies mingled unceremoniously with the most disreputable hoboes and dere- licts; ghosts and goblins hobnobbed with fairies and angels while rural lads and lassies romped in utter abandon and even the aged and in- firm hobbled out to assist in the evening's merrymaking,

Klan Alpine, clad in the garb of old Castile trouped into the hall in a body and, after some preliminary tactics, gathered around the piano and introduced the evening's program with a medley of songs embracing "Yes, We Have No Bananas," "Barney Googgle,"

"Last Night On The Brick Porch, I Love Me Most Of All," strains from II Trovotore and other bits of artistry.

Ably assisted by Harry Greene as caller and the "College Five," the Theta Chi Sorority gathered by couples from all corners of the floor and, clad in their characteristic farm costumes, were soon entangled in the intricacies of "ye old tyme square dance."

Following the hearty applause which rent the air at the conclusion of this

TO HOLD FIRST INTERSCHO- LASTIC CROSS COUNTRY

MEET

Sixty Contestants Already Entered

Next Friday, Nov. 2, Alfred will at- tempt the first inter-scholastic cross country meet ever held here.

There will be six or seven teams of high school fellows here on Thurs- day night. They will attend the mass meeting out of curiosity to learn how such a meeting is conducted. Therein lies an opportunity to show them the true college spirit and to make the right sort of impression. Many of these fellows are potential Alfred students both because of their scholastic ability and their prowess in track work.

From all entries so far received there will be between sixty and seventy fellows here in an aggregate from the following schools: Tech, Masten Park, Lafayette, Hutchinson, all from Buffalo, Bolivar, Hornell, Al- mond, Ithaca, Salamanca, Olean, Brad- ford, Haverling of Bath, and East;

high of Rochester.

The interscholastic headquarters will be established at the Delta Sigma Phi house with Orray Fraser as manager assisted by Harold Rice and Herbert Woodward. The teams will have a training table lunch at 11:30 Friday preparatory to running at 2 P. M., one half hour before the Thiel game.

The day's program will consist of the following: interscholastic meet, 2 P. M.; Alfred vs. Thiel, football, 2:30 P. M.; Varsity cross country Alfred vs. Allegheny, 3 P. M.

ALFRED DEFEATED BY NIAGARA IN FIFTH GAME OF SEASON

Costly Fumbles Run Up Opponent's Score

AERIAL ATTACK AND END RUNS FEATURE

On the University field last Friday I afternoon the Alfred Varsity went:

down to defeat at the hands of t h e | Niagara University aggregation by a 26 to 13 score in a game featured by | long runs by the visitors.

The result of the game hardly gives a fair estimate of the relative strength j

of the two teams, since only two of the touchdowns credited to the visitors were really earned. The others were the results of fumbles by the Alfred backs and a t times when Al-j fred was well under way in Niagara's territory. On the other hand both touchdowns by the Varsity were netted by straight football tactics.

After the first few minutes of the second half Alfred was able to hold the visitors on the defense, the greater part of the time, completing several forward passes for long gains despite the slippery condition of the field.

Credit, however, must be given the visitors for playing the game and following the ball, for on every oc- casion when a fumble occurred Ni- agara men were in positions to re- cover. This fact alone, was largely accountable for Alfred's defeat.

It is encouraging to note that after getting under way with a very poor start in the first half the Alfred team came back in the second with an attack that bid fair to overcome the lead that Niagara had piled up in the earlier part of the game. The team

CERAMIC GUILD COMPLETES ORGANIZATION I Extensive Work Planned For

Year's Program

The Ceramic Guild of Alfred has recently elected its new officers and council for the coming year. With the increased enrollment in the Art department, new enthusiasm has grown up, marked by the excellent attendance at the tea held every Wednes- day at 4:15 P. M. At these gather- ings some particular topic of interest to the members is discussed. Prof.

Binns outlined at the first meeting the origin and growth of the Guild, explaining for the benefit of new members, the ideals and purposes of the organization. Plans for a Cer- amic entertainment expected to be given the second week in Demember, are in the making and being added to at each tea. Last week current items in the ceramic Art World were given by Evelyn Tennyson. In addition Ruth Whitford gave an interesting description of her experience in teaching pottery during the past summer to youngsters at the "Camp Aloha Hive" in Southern Fairlee, Vermont, and Margaret Prentice of teaching handicrafts at "Twa-we-ko-ta Camp"

on Lake Chautauqua, N. Y. This week Bruce Thorngate is expected to give an account of his teaching bas- ketry and weaving to the younger boys of the Culver Military Academy Sum- mer Camp at Culver, Indiana.

In place ot having a paid graduate manager for the Guild, the individual members of the senior class in ceramic art have taken over the responsibility of producing pottery for sale. In this way, practical experience with commercial problems and economy of production is gained before gradu- ation.

The officers and council for the following year are:

Catherine Neuweisinger '24, president

Bruce Thorngate '25, Sec-Treas.

Lillian Barden '24 Metta Gibson '24 Ruth Whitford '25 Esther Seamons '26.

COLGATE PROVES EASY MARK FOR "DOCS" MEN

Navin, Herrick, Smith and Borden Loiter in At First

NEW MEN SHOW THEIR STUFF

Nerved up by a trip full of mishaps, Alfred's harriers took the field against the Colgate team last Friday afternoon giving the Maroon runners the most severe beating ever witnessed by their followers in a race resulting in a 15-40 score.

Over a course which resembled nothing so much as a sea of mud, the five A. U. stars, Navin, Herrick, Smith, Borden and Lampman, led the Purple and Gold representatives to a most decisive victory. The course of four and three-fourths miles was rough and hilly but, in spite of this fact, Alfred nearly broke the course record of 27 minutes and 20 seconds held by Hill- man of Hobart, the time Friday being 27 minutes and 25 seconds.

Colgate, having won over Ha.milton and Hobart by wide margins, was expecting another easy victory, but the invaders gave the Maroons a fine object lesson in hill climbing. At no time did Colgate prove dangerous except when Judd, their star runner, started up the first hill. Then A. U.

began to show form and man after man showed him their heels.

Coach Ferguson was well satisfied with the team's showing and especially that of the new men. The seven Varsity members were expected to run a hard, fast race but on the other | hand the younger candidates were not I easily cast aside. It was only by a tough and fast sprint that Judd beat Pitcher to the tape by a margin of j four feet.

as a whole, worked smoothly and gained consistently worrying their oppon- ents by a variety of runs, passes and line bucks and twice crossing the coveted goal line.

For Alfred the (work of captain Gardner in opening holes and in breaking up Niagara's plays, was outstanding. Griffith working at quarter back in the latter part of the game, displayed good generalship and Lo- ba.ugh ran well at half.

First quarter:

Niagara kicked to Alfred's 10 yard line. Held for downs and punted to center of field. Niagara worked ball to twenty yard line where Alfred held, for downs and punted out of danger.

After further exchange of punts Al- fred had the ball on 25 yard line.

Gained at left end. Niagara inter- cepted forward pass and on next play ran 20 yards for touchdown. Point made. Quarter ends with A. U. in possession of ball on 20 yard line.

Second quarter:

Alfred forced to punt. Niagara worked ball to A. U's 35 yard mark where they completed forward pass \ and made second touchdown. Ni- agara received on 20 yard line and half ended with ball in mid-field in possession of Niagara.

Third quarter:

Niagara kicks to A. U.'s 20 yard line. Moore ran ball back to 30 yard.

More than mere words will be required for the student body to show the proper appreciation to the cross country team and to their coach, Dr.

Ferguson.

At no meet in which Alfred has par- ticipated abroad, has the team been treated more courteously. No detail in the matter of caring for the men was overlooked and no praise can be too great for the hospitality extended to Alfred by Colgate. When they come here next year, the students will have an opportunity to reciprocate.

THE GOLDEN RULE

1. All the friends of Alfred are glad because of its growth, prosperity, and its prospects for still further achieve- ments. It should not be forgotten, however, that this growth and these possibilities are due to the ideals and loyalty and devotion of Seventh Day Baptists who laid solid foundations for Alfred and for t h e University, many years ago.

2. It should also be kept in mind that this growth and prosperity would never have been attained and that our future prospects would not be what they are, had not other people given our educational movements here cor- dial and liberal, moral and financial support.

3. The situation here is unique in some respects and this uniqueness calls for the exercise of wisdom, pa- tience, and mutual confidence. Some students come here who seem to have

CROSS COUNTRY MEN PRE- PARE FOR ALLEGHENIANS Pennsylvania Invaders Strong and

Fast

Starting five minutes after the second quarter of the Alfred-Thiel football game, the purple and gold cross country team will stack up against the strong blue and gold of Allegheny College in a meet which promises to be thus far the hardest battle of the season.

The Pennsylvania college will be represented by seven men experienc- ed in all branches of track work. One of these who gave Bill Navin a hard race at the Allegheny-Alfred meet last spring, is Bliss, who will be one of the strongest factors in the visiting team.

In addition to their star runners Alle- gheny has a new under coach who has taken over the cross country work and is devoting his entire time to that I particular branch.

The invaders have been training strenuously for the entire season so far and there is no doubt that they will test the ability of the purple and gold men to t h e extreme Friday.

Doc will run his best Varsity men in j order to prove to all "doubting Thom- ases" if there be any, just how good his harriers are.

PROF. WINGATE INTRODUCES CHANGE IN ASSEMBLY

PROGRAM

Several times last Wednesday there was a radical "change of air in assembly due to the various tones of Professor Wingate and his accompan- ist, Mrs. Irving Jones.

The first change came at the appear- ance of a professional looking professor in a full cut suit and a winged collar. Quite a departure from the usual make-up of assembly perform- ers.

A fresh "air" brought forth a dramatic song "Invictus" written by Huhn and expressed by the warbles of Pro- fessor Wingate. The dramatic "air"

became softer in the next number

"Smile Through Your Tears." This consoling philosophy was sung with truly natural expression.

Now the soft "air" became "ghostly" hard in a war song next rendered

"The Phantom Legion." The garden

"air" was felt in "Love Sends A Little Gift Of Roses" but soon Jack Frost's sharp air told "If Winter Comes," fol- lowed by the highway "air" "The Open Road." It became youthful in "Tom- my Lad" and very motherly in "Sweet Little Women Of Mine." Finally t h e

"air" darkened and died with. "Little Road To Rest."

At Monday Assembly Prof. Wingate entertained by rendering a program of selected songs, accompanied by Mrs.

Jones at the piano. The program included songs on light and heavy themes, and was greatly enjoyed by all.

Hereafter Assemblies will be held at Ag School on Mondays and Fridays.

As this is quite a cut from the four assembly periods a week which have heretofore been in vogue, it is hoped that we will have a one hundred per cent attendance. Assembly is the only time at which the entire school gets together, and we should make the most of it

It is planned to have the faculty and student body alternate in taking charge of the Monday Assemblies, and Prof.

Wingate will have charge on Fridays.

Assembly period on. Thursday will be will be taken np by group study of Astronomy and Psychology, and par- ticipation in Debates, Dramatics, and Public Speaking, each student joining a group according to the subject in which he or she is most interested.

The class in advanced Sto;k Judging spent all day Saturday in visiting herds in Steuben County. Some very fine stock was seen at the various farms visited, and the amatuer judges had some difficulty in picking the best animals in some of the rings, as there was little to choose between many of the fine animals shown. After navigating the streets of Bath for some time we finally located a place to eat, but lo- cating that restaurant was the hardest job of the day. Ask Prof. Smith.

INTER-FRATERNITY COUNCIL AT ALFRED

There has been much discussion in the past of the need for an Inter- fraternity council at Alfred. During the latter part of last year a committee composed of three representatives from each fraternity on the campus, met and drew up a suggestive constitution.

Entered at the Alfred Post Office as second-class matter.

There are in high schools, and those not in any way remote, many students who have either a very errone- ous idea of what college is, or none at all. It is surprising how many high school students within a short radius of Alfred have never heard of the university or have only a hazy notion that such exists.

In larger colleges this difficulty is to a great extent removed hy the in- stallation of a "Sub-Freshmen Day."

Why could not that means be as well employed here? Students are gen- erally interested and take pride in the growth of the college. New devices are constantly being sought for to enlarge and broaden it. Here is one way in which that may be accomp- lished.

A sub-freshman day is one whole day set aside for the entertainment of high school juniors and seniors.

The number is limited to members of these two classes because of the difficulty of accommodating any who may not be strictly considered potential college students. Beginning in the morning, lectures, exhibitions and demonstrations are arranged to cover every course and every subject in each course. Some form of social entertainment could also be included.

For instance,) a t regular scheduled times and places one person may be giving a talk on the mathematic courses and explaining the work covered in each. A member of the Ceramic engineering department might at the same time be delivering a lec- ture on the advantages to be obtained from a study of his course and various phases of the course delegated to men or, in the case of the Ceramic Art courses, women who will equip themselves with the information that will attract students.

The question of organization and the arrangement of the necessary means to accomplish the purpose may be left to the students thereby entailing little additional work on the part of the in- structors. Suppose, for the purpose of discussion, the faculty appoint committees in their various departments to take charge of the work peculiar to that department, the chairmen of these committees forming an advisory or supervisory board for centralized control. These men, thus appointed, can distribute the material so as to cover the subject efficiently.

Advertisement of the proposed pro- ject may be done by sending printed bulletins to as many high schools and other prep schools as there are means to accommodate. The publicity cam- paign which is now in operation by the Varsity "A" Club will have opportunity to spread the propaganda in many places.

In consideration of the time for such an event, it will be well to place it near the close of the school year, perhaps in conjunction with an Intsr- echolastic since that is the season when fellows and girls will be think- ing of college.

Then, too, the question of sufficient finances to cover the expenses enters Into the matter. There are a variety of waya in which money might be

raised to defray cost of publications and accommodations. That should offer no substantial difficulty and can be arranged later should the prop- osition go through. Arrangement for meals and sleeping quarters can also be made with the co-operation of all the various organizations on the campus and will, of course, limit the number that may be admitted.

There are many reasons why this plan should result in mutual benefit.

Primarily, it would advertise the college and further any latent interest in Alfred. Many new students every year enroll blindly in some course for which they are not fitted and after be- coming better acquainted with the subjects of the course, cause confusion by dropping one or more classes to be registered in others. A sub-freshman day would eliminate this in- decision to a large degree because students who have attended the day's convention will have a much more def- inite idea of the subject matter they want. Thus it will facilitate regis- tration in the following fall.

The experience and responsibility of conducting such an affair will not only arouse a greater interest jin thedr work but will cause A. TJ. men and women to take increased pride in their institution.

If held in connection with an interscholastic meet or some other athletic event it will attract desirable material for athletics in future years and will give the coaches a chance to "get a line on" new men.

These plans are necessarily crude and will require sifting out while, providing the general idea strikes a responsive chord, new ones will be proposed. The entire success or failure depends upon the student body. • We can "put it across" if we will. Of j course, there is ample time for at- tention to details but ample time will be required and the sooner the proper agitation is commenced, the more complete will be the success of thei venture. Why not give it a try?

We have made up our minds to fall so low as to write an unsigned letter, j because we (editorial) consider it nee-1 essary for your general welfare.

What has gotten into you this year An awful lot of people are disappoint- ed in you. Especially those (like ourselves) who heard such a lot about you. All this lady-killer stuff is all right, we guess, but it doesn't give people a very good impression of your general make-up. No wonder you have no use for "females" (at least so some- one told us—although, personally, we don't believe it!!)—your attitude—

this lady's man idea, we mean—doesn't appeal to the intelligent (there are such you know!) and worthwhile ones (females). It would do you an awful

After a most auspicious start, that of holding Colgate to a 14-0 score, a game that attracted country-wide com- ment, the football team is not coming through on its smaller games. St.

Bonaventure and Niagara both defeated us in games in which Alfred outplayed them in straight football but lost through breaks.

What is the solution? It certainly is not lack of coaching. The team has a better system and a more competent coach than ever before. It is not lack of material. No coach at Alfred had more promising candidates than has Coach Kasper. Yet we are losing games. There is something wrong and again we are asking for a little thoughtfulness on the part of the student body.

It has long been the custom of the student body to hold a mass meeting for the purpose of rousing pep before a game, both in the team and in the students. At present and particularly the last, there was a noticeable number of football men absent. Those questioned gave but one reason.

They did not care to go to an assembly where they were asked to speak and to describe their feeling for the coming game. After all there is really nothing they can say and it merely causes embarrassment to try.

It is the place of the student to tell the team what is expected of it, to re- mind them of the traditions of Alfred.

If we can help by doing this, it is certainly not too great a thing for them to ask.

There is also a number of Freshmen on the squad, just through with high- school football and having their first experience with inter-collegiate play.

A new player is of course impression- able, we can discourage him by telling him how poor, he is or we can en- courage him by a little patting on the back once in awhile. One thing should be remembered. Those who constitute the team do not like to lose any better than the rest of the students like to see them and they are going to do their best. What their best is, is up to you. Help them to raise the standard, rather than make them feel we are amusing ourselves at their expense.

Pi Alpha Pi entertained the crowd with various original novelty songs and some clever impersonations by Catherine Neuweisinger.

An altogether spooky and mysteri- ous act by members of the Kappa Psi Upsilon fraternity held the suspense of the onlookeres.

With Rev. John L. Grady and Cupid Campbell at the helm, the Delta Sig- ma Phi concluded the program with a mock wedding, wherein Andy Gump was sentenced to lifelong misery and which brought forth gales of laughter and caused the old walls of the academy to vibrate with the applause.

After the grand march, Miss Swal- low and "Doc" Lovell were awarded first prizes as best costumed lady and gentleman.

One of the outstanding fea/tures which afforded much amusement was the pride with which Don Stearns ex- hibited his new girl, "Red" Gibson alias

Miss Dorothy Smith of Buffalo.
