Saint Joan (Frances Hyland) being dragged to the stake by the Exe- cutioner (Bob Gibson) and De Stogumber (Ted- Fellows) In Canadian Play- ers platform version of George Bernard Shaw's "Saint Joan."

by Merle Chait

One of the finest performances to be given on the Alfred campus within this writer's recollection was presented last Tuesday even- ing. The production of George Bernard Shaw's "St. Joan," which played to a packed house, was an overwhelming success.

The Canadian Players, using the most modest and simple stage

effects produced highly superior re- I suits. The artistry displayed In the performance was magnificent.

Playing the role of Joan, Frances Hyland captured her audience and brought them to belive in her as a liv- ing person. Though of slight build Miss Hyland assumed her role with the perfect degree of masculinity which it called for. Shaw has created a real and fascinating character whom Miss Hlyland brought to life before our eyes.

"Whether inspired by genius or God, inspired she (Joan) clearly was; whether or not her voices were real, they were real to her, . . . " and after the performance they were real to us.

Although Joan is such a powerful character that she dominates the play, the other characters provide opportunity for the demonstration of great skill on the part of the other performers.

Certainly the performance of William Hutt as the Archbishop and the En- glish Warwich was outstanding. With the lack of costumes and other de- vices, facial expressions and movement became most important. These Mr.

Hutt used in masterful measures and with great adeptness drew two characters of great diversity.

The doubling up of parts, rather than being a drawback, proved to the audience the versatility of the actors.

Proving his excellence beyond all doubt, Douglas Campbell artfully portrayed three characters of huge var- iance. Starting with DeBeaudricourt, the bellowing lord with a weak will, then continuing with the benevolent churchman Cauction, who wasn't quite up to understanding the heroine, he concluded by depicting an English soldier whose one good deed was to give Joan a cross as she was being burned. Mr. Campbell was thoroughly convincing in every part; surely three men could mot have produced a superior effect.

. Roland Hewgill as. DePoulengey was a poor contrast to DeBeaudricourt. A feeling that the lines were being read detracated greatly from his performance. However, in his interpretation of Bluebeard he established a definite contact with the audience. His interpretation >of the character though somewhat exaggerated was consistent.

He was most successful as Brother Martin.

The Steward. LaHlre and DeSto- gumber have a certain underlying similarity beyond the interpretation give them by the actor. Excellent in each of these roles., Mr. Follows must have been exhausted at the end of the performance.

The greatest contrast between two characters played by one actor was that between the Dauphin (King Charles) and the Inquisitor. Portray- ing first a weekwilled man who wanter to be anything but what he was, George McCowan displayed extraordin- ary ability. Changing characters completely, he assumed the role of In- quisitor with the ease of a costume change. In this role he so completely became the character that he was able to rivet the attention of everyone in the audience for an involved ten minute speech, during the trial scene. His performance was outstanding.

John Gardiner as Dunois came almost to the point of understanding Joan. He too was a credible character, well portrayed in his support of Joan.

It can't honestly be said that any member of the cast lacked in any as- pect of presentation. John Horton, Jack Hutt and Bob Gibson all rendered fine Interpretations of their roles-.

Technically the production was without flaw, the style of its presentation being perfect for this particular play.

A single curtain served for a back- drop, nothing else was needed. The

Ag-Tech Offers 'Born Yesterday'

Members of the "Charlatans" will offer t-wo performances of Garson Kan- in's "Born Yesterday" as part of the ninth annual Fall Festival activities at the State University Agricultural and Technical Institute in Alfred.

The play will be presented on Nov.

2 and Nov. 3 in the Institute gymnasium at 7:30 p.m.

Under the direction of Mort Clark, speech and drama instructor, students will bring to life the story of Billie Dawn, the beautiful but dumb ex- chorus girl who comes to Washington with the crude, ambitious junk dealer, Harry Brock. Miss Dawn is handed off to magazine reporter Paul Ver- rall to be "educated." She learns history, politics and the difference between the dominating Brock and the considerate Verrall. Her rebellion against Brock and her attempt to be- come educated combined with Garson Kanin's gift* for witty dialogue make the comedy fast-moving.

Nancy Wolf of Hamburg will play

"Billie Dawn" and Dave Niles of Campbell will be "Brock." "Paul Ver- rall" will be portrayed by Rollein MacDuffle of Pavilion.

Era Scofield, instructor in the science department is technical director for the arena staged production. Miss Carol Cole of Hornell is assistant director.

The public is invited to attend either performance of the play. There will be no admission charge.

Ceramic Profs.

Win Honors

Two members of the faculty of the Ceramic College have recently received national recognition.

R. M. Campbell, Chairman of the Department of Ceramic Engineering and at present time. President-Elect of the National Institute of Ceramic Engineers was elected to the General Coucil of the American Society for Engineering Education.

Professor Campbell will represent the Upper New York — Ontario Sec- tion of A.S.E.E. on this Council. The election took place at the recent sec- tional meeting held at Syracuse Uni- versity. October 14-15, 1955.

The duties as Council Representative will be assumed directly after the next Annual Meeting which will take place at Iowa State College, Ames Iowa, June 25-29, 1966.

The "American Ceramrc Society Bulletin" in announcing the nomina- tions of officers for the American Ce- ramic Society for the year 1956-57 have listed J. F. McMahon, Dean of the State University College of Ceramics, Alfred University, for the office of President-Elect.

Dean McMahon is at present one of the three Vice Presidents of the organization.

Elections will take place in April 1956.

Official Grades

The following system for Grades and Indices, becomes effective in the fall semester of 1955-56. This supercedes the system as- described on pages 40--41 of the Alfred University Liberal Arts Catalog for 1955-56.

GRADES AND INDICES System of Grading. The work of students in each cou-rse is graded as:

A, superior; B plus, very good; B.

good; C plus, C, D plus, average; D, p»or; F, failure; I, incomplete; WP, WF, withdrawn- withdrawn-passing;

failing.

The lowest passing grade is D. How- tever, D obtained in a course prerequisite to other courses, will not permit the student to register in these courses, i.e., since Psychology II is prerequisite to Psychology 32, a D will earn 'credit in Psychology II, but will not permit the student to register in Psychology 32, or i-n any -other course for which Psychology II is a prerequisite.

Scholarship Indices. In evaluating scholarship the following system of point values (indices) is used:

Each semester hour at: A, 3:0; B plus 2.5; B, 2.0; C plus, 1.5; C, 1.0;

D Plus, 0.5; D, 0.0; F, minus 1.0; WF, minus 1.0; WP and I, no point value.

A student's index is obtained by di- viding the total number of points by the total number of hours.

Scholastic Requirements. The indices required of students at the end of the Freshman year and each semester of the following years are as follows:

Freshman, 0.7; sophomore (each semester), 1.0-; Junior (each semester), 1.1; Senior (each semester), 1.1.

A student whose average index at the end of any semester falls -below the minimum scholastic requirement may re-enroll the following semester

"on condition." The student's adviser and the Dean of the College determine the nature lof the "condition." As a rule a Jul*ior or a Senior may remain

"on condition" for only one semester.

If the student fails to meet the scholastic requirements, at the end of that semester, he will not be permitted to re-enroll. In unuaual circumstances the Committee on Scholastic Stand- ards may waivevthe rule.

Whatever the nature of "the condition,1' its main objective is to assist 1'he student in gaining or regaining the requisite academic standing in the shortest possible time and in a way that will do the student the most all- around good. That may mean that the student will not be permitted to participate in any extra-curricular activities (athletics, dramatics, music, etc.), o r that he will not be permitted to carry a full curricular load, or that he will nqt be permitted to engage in any extra social activities.

All grades remain on the student's permanent record. If a course is re- peated and a higher grade is earned, its index replaces that of the former grade. ,

Law School Dean Talks At Alfred

Last Friday afternoon at 2:00, Dean Kharas of the Syracuse Law School, addressed an assembled group of pre- law and political science majors. The subject of his informal talk was "Law as a Profession."

Dean Kharas began by stating that not all gradute law students went in- to private practice and that other related fields offered varied and interesting opportunities. "Five to ten per- cent of graduate students go into public; office as legal advisors and so on."

Dean Kharas continued, "and of course a large percentage of lawyers eventu- ally enter politics, thus utilizing their legal experience for the benefit of state and government." Another twenty five per cent are assimilated into the business world as real estate agents, labor relations people and corporation and business executives. Dean Kharas agreed that "a legal education so used is well used.''

As to the practice of law itself, the Dean went on to say that it re- quire great perserverance and a sin- cere and deep interest.

The rest of Dean Kharas' talk was devoted to the more technical aspects of admittance to law school. The question of admittance after three years of college was discussed. The Dean felt that getting a regular bachelor's degree was more advantageous than gaining a year's time. Also considered were the problems concerned with entering law school prior to or after the service.

The Dean concluded by asking for questions and after a brief question period went on to interview several applicants for Syracuse Law School.

Heavy Schedule For Pres. Drake

Alfred University's president, Dr.

M, Ellis Drake, is keeping his traveling bag packed this week and next as a result of a heavy schedule of business engagements outside of Alfred.

President Drake was in New York City from Sunday, October 23, to Wed- nesday, October 26. where he met with the commission on Colleges and Indus- try of the Association of American Colleges, and also with a sub-corn-' mittee of the Commission on Liberal Education of the Association of Ameri- can Colleges of which he is a member.

Next week, Dr. Drake will be in Buf- falo with a group of college presidents calling on corporation executives on behalf of the Empire State Foundation of Independent Liberal Arts Colleges. President Drake is vice- chairman of the Foundation.

Research News

Recently, Dr. W. G. Lawrence, chairman of the Research Department and Mr. Tinkelpaugh visited the power plant laboratory and the aeronautical reseach laboratory at Wright Field.

Dayton, Ohio to discuss contracts and high temperature materials which are presently in use at Alfred Univer- sity.

Dr. Lawrence, in company of R.

Theology School Sponsors Dialogue

November first made famous for the school-boy poem "The Wonerful One Hoss Shay," will be observed with a theological dialogue sponsored by the Alfred University School of Theology, it is announced by Dean Albert N.

Rogers. The dialogue is set for 8:00 p.m. in Kenyon Hall.

Linda Napolin, English major, will read the poem . by Oliver Wendell carriage to the rise and fall of New Holmes, which compares the building and decay of a remarkable two-wheel England theology. Its description and dialogue are part and parcel of Amer- ican history and folklore. Dr. Holmes was very critical of New World Cal- vinism in his day. The poem is taken from a series headed "The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table" which ran a century ago in a national magazine.

Dr. Ernest B. Finch, professor of English, will discuss literary aspects of the poem. Rev. R. Leroy Moser of the Union University Church and Dr.

Alfred J. Gross of the School of The- ology faculty, will then interpret the poem in the light of present day theology. The present popular interest in theological questions will be com- pared to the carriage maker's master- piece which fell apart suddenly, leaving its occupant sitting on a rock.

A discussion period will follow the panel and Dean Rogers will preside.

Second And Third TD Oft Alfred;

Shultz ScoresTwo, Micciche Hurt

by Al Siegel

With the home season completed for '55 the Purple and Gold foot- ball squad hit the road with the magic number now being two.

Having six victories under their belts, the Warriors have to only topple Kings Point and Hobart to finish the season with a clean slate. On Saturday, obstacle number one, Kings Pohn rears its

ugly head. The team will go into the game with one disability, Chet Mic- ciche, who will have to sit it out as an attempted tackle'against Buffalo ended his football career at Alfred. On the second play of the second half Micciche attempted to stop a runback of a kick. He succeeded in tripping the runner but he also broke his arm, when the runner tripped over it.

With the exception of this one note of sadness the Purple and Gold were sharp enough to make their one or two breaks work for them as they toppled the Bulls from Buffalo 26-14.

The first 10 minutes of the first quarter saw neither team make any gains. Near the end of the quarter the Saxons got the ball on their own 47.

John Zluchoski's 3 yard run put the ball at midfield, and two Moresco to Dennis passes were incomplete, but the second was ruled interference. This gave the Warriors a first down on the 27.

Campus Religions To Be Panel Topic

We have on this campus representatives of the world's five major religions. For you, the ^tudent who at one time or another has desired to know more about the inner meanings and the traditions of these great hu- man faiths, the International Club, Hillel and the Alfred Student Christian Fellowship will sponsor a panel discussion on this topic, Sunday, November 6 at 2:30 p.m., Susan Howell Hall.

Prof. Roland Warren will preside as moderator, and with a qualified student representing each faith, the discussion should be an interesting one.

Lu Gywe will speak on Buddhism;

Gopal Agarwal, Hinduism; Mohamed Orhun, Islam; Lenny Lefkowitz, Juda- ism. Judy Koch, Christianity (Protes- tantism).

t a s t year Life magazine published a colorful series of articles on the world's great religions. They serve to stimulate interest and provoke discussion. They are now on display at the library for several days.

All interested in the discussion are_

welcome. Coffee hour afterwards.

A penalty and a 4 yard run by Mor- esco put the ball on the 28. Al Moresco then picked out Chuck Shultz as his intended receiver, and receive he did, with a diving catch in the end zone to give the Warriors a 6-0 lead, as the quarter ended. Just before the second one began Al Weaver booted the extra point and the Yunevichmen led 7-0.

Micciche Hurt

The ensuing kickoff finished off Mr.

Micciche but it took two exchanges of the ball to give Buffalo a break. This came midway through the period A run by Dick Doll and Pete Rao gave UB a first down on the AU 31. Two runs by Rao put the ball on. the 25, and Doll got the first down when he raced to the 20.

After two runs by Rao and Doll gave UB a first down on the 9 a 5-yard penalty pushed them back to the 14. A 3 yard fumble toy Joe Kubisty, the quarterback, put it on the 17. After an incomplete pass his next one was ruled as interfered with on the 5 and a first down was received. Runs by Doll and Rao put the pigskin on the 1 yard line and set Dick Doll up for his plunge thru the center. A halfback, Richard Stuck, booted the extra point, tieing the score 7-7 at the half, aas the War- riors,, could get nowhere in four plays before the gun.

During the intermission the football fans saw the University of Buffalo Air Force ROTC Band, led by Cadet Second Lieutenant Herb Bloomberg go thru their paces. The 20 piece group started with a number which saw a with a large "A" across his back heckle them, only to end off by steal- ing the baton of one of the pretty drum majorettes. While the g'irls chased him the entire band followed playing

"When the Saints Come Marching In."

The end saw the devil, Alfred, being beaten and two cheer leaders carrying him off the field. Their final selection was the University of Buffalo Alma Mater.

Anthony Cappadonia's All-Campus Band followed this with a show featuring "Droodles." Number one saw the drum majorettes climbing up a flight of stairs as a snake would do. An Indian dance was the background for the setting of some hills depicting

"New York Skyline, 1420." The group formed three mice ready to take off in a race, for "Three Blind Mice," and an original blanket, was the background for "Rock-A-Bye Baby." Since the half time had elapsed the group relinquished their time so that the big game could resume.

Interception

After getting the opening kickoff on their own 38 the Bulls worked the ball down to the Alfred 23 in 8 plavs.

onlv to have Al Bilanski thwart the drive by recovering a fumble. After the Saxons could get nowhere the Blu»

and White went from their own 42 down field only to have Ed DeChristo- phor intercept for AU on the 19.

On the first play from scrimmage the spark that sent the Saxons on to victorr was kindled. Taking a hamloff from Jim Hartnett, Al Weaver raopd 44 vards for a first down on the VB 37. Two runs by Hartnett picked nn 6. and a short pass to Chuck Shultz resulted in a TD when the prospective Ail-American end raced the full dis- tance for the TD. The play covered 30 yards. The score became 14-7 when Weaver kicked the PAT.

During the middle of the fourth quarter, John Dennis and John DeSan- tis set up another Warrior tally when they recovered a Bull fumble on the visitors 44. On the first play from scrimmage Bill Chaffee raced around end for 25 yards to the 19. After Jay Abbott took a few seconds to recover from an injury, Al Weaver picked up two yards to the 17. Mr. Cfcaffee then raced around and over for the TD.

Wreaver's kick was off and the score stood at 20-7 for a few seconds.

90 Yard Run

The opening kickoff saw John Zlu- choski boot it to halfback Richard Stuck on the 10 yard line. Stuck raced right up the middle on a play which

Chuck Shultz

saw some nice blocking by UB and some poor blocking and tackling by Alfred and outdistanced the field for 90 yards and a touchdown. He kicked the extra point and the score was 20- 14.

On Buffalo's kickoff Jim Ryan tried to duplicate this feat as he took the kick and raced 89 yards before he was stopped on the UB 39. After John Zlu- choski picked up 2 yards Jim Ryan got a first down by racing around to the 27. A Hartnett run and a completed pass to Zluchoski lost 11 yards.

Hartnett then tossed to Jim Ryan who went the rest of the way to ice up victory number six for Coach Yunevich.

Weaver's PAT was again wide, but the Worriors had a 26-14 lead with less than 4 minutes in the battle.

After the Bulls could get nowhere in four plays the Saxons took over pos- session of the ball. The game ended three runs later when Jim "Hartnett ran 6 yards thru the middle to the UB 25. The Purple and Golds victory sets the stage for the Kings Point game Saturday at 1:30 at Tomb Mem- orial Field at the Academy.

EXTRA POINTS — Oddly enough, in what turned out to be his last game, Chet Micciche and end John Dennis were the co-game captains . . .

Industry Greets Alfred Seniors

Each year, representatives from many large industrial corporations In the United States travel to the Alfred campus to interview seniors majoring in specific fields. The purpose of these interviews Is to give the students opportunities to see which positions in industry are available to them, as well as to afford an opportunity for the companies to interest students in prospective jobs.

"Twenty companies have expressed interest in holding interviews at Al- fred this year," commented Dean Gertz. supervisor of senior placement for the Liberal Arts school.

Most of the interviews will be held during the months of February, March and April. Among the companies who have already reserved placement dates are the Ford Motor Company, Sears Roebuck and Company, General Elec- tric and the Corning Glass Works.

These and many of the other corporations are interested in mathematics, science, economics and business majors as well as in Ceramic Engineer- ing and Glass Technologists. They are also interviewing students majoring in related business fields; these students would be utilized in important parts of industry such as public relations, business administration and advertising.

It is not too early for interested seniors to begin thinking about placement for next year. Career booklets and access to the placement files may be obtained in Dean Gertz's office.

Seniors will be notified by their department heads as to the date, time and place of their respective interviews.

Freshman Pres. Candidates Present Pleas

The FIAT offered space to all the Freshman class presidential candidates in which they could list their qualifications, and tell the voters what they would attempt to do if they were elected. Print- ed below are the articles the FIAT received in response to this offer.

New Union

At a recent meeting with various (University students, President Drake disclosed that fllans for a new student union are at the first stages of preparation. He asked those students present whether they had any suggestions or ideas for things to be included in the new building. Ideas ranging from the neccessary, a lounge area, to the dreaming, a combination movie-house-stage area, were brought

forth.

Warren Smith

Ours, the class of '59, has shown to date that we have the greatest poten- tial, as a class, in the history of Al- fred. Great spirit and co-operation have

made the upperclassmen take notice of us. Therefore, we must have com- petent officers to make our possibili- ties, realities.

I feel that I have the necessary qualifications to co-ordinate this class' work. I was active throughout my years of high school in class and school government work, and 'have held re- sponsible jobs in many extra-curricular activities. I wish, also, to state that one of my greatest interests lies in government work. If elected, I will do my utmost to carry on and exalt our reputation. In doing this of course, I will promote a well-rounded project and social schedule. I feel that the most important thing, however, is to

make every member of our class an all-important cog in our class' wheel to success.

May I wish the best of luck to my worthy opponents.

Robert McKinley

As a nominee for freshman class president, I was, out of necessity, re- quired to sit down and list my ideas and plans for the class.

Here they are: I would like to see a closer connection between the fac- ulty and the student body; I would like also to see stricter observance of cut rules and study hours. I believe that it is possible to raise the over-all in- dex and still have fun by a better al- lotment of time and a better evalua- tion of the more important things of life. My immediate plans for the class include the organisation of committees to plan for future class activities. An investigation will also be made con- cerning the organization of an inde-

pendent student association for those people not in a sorority or fraternity.

The class as a whole is a good crew with a tremendous amount of spirit.

They show a lot of promise and I am glad to be one of the class of '59.

Robert Snyder

My name is Robert Snyder and I'm running for freshman class president.

What have I got to offer? My execu- tive experience began early in life when at the age of eight, I was elec- ted president of the second grade at P. S. 32. More recently, however, I served as president of the Methodist Youth Fellowship with a membership of fifty and as secretary of the Wil- liamsville Varsity "W" Club. I was active in Boy Scouts and served as patrol leader and scribe. I was a mem- ber of the National Honor Society, played football, and ran track. At pre- sent, I am running freshman cross country and attending meetings of the student branch of the American Cera- mic Society.

If elected. I will strive to fill the office to the best of my ability. I will work for and with the freshman class and carry out your wishes, I am anx-

ious to see the class make a place for itself on the Alfred campus. I am in favor of freshman class activities, es- pecially social, and will earnestly work to promote as many as possible.

Charles Bradt

This year's freshman class has es- tablished itself as one of the most en- thusiastic ever, in all phases of college life. For instance; practically everyone who was brought before frosh court served his sentence willingly. The re- sponse at football games had also been tremendous to say the least.

It is my opinion that any class with the enthusiast which this one has, should enjoy all possible advantages.

I would like to see a few more var- sity teams representing Alfred, such as baseball, swimming, and soccer teams. Also, parties and other such social events on campus are limited mostly to fraternity houses, so that leaves a great many of us freshmen out. Something should be done about this in the form of more social events involving our class. In short, this year's freshman class is a credit to the school and one deserving of many benefits.

President Drake, made it clear that the eventual completion of |

Campus Religious Groups Promise Active Semester

by Barbara Warren

In 1696, John Seldon, in his Table Talk, remarked that "religion is like the fashion, one man wears his doublet slashed, another laced, another plain; but. every man has a doublet; so every man has a re- ligion. We differ about the trimming."

On the Alfred campus, religious trimmings differ widely. Con- such a building was a long way off, but nevertheless plans and sug- sect are represented, many differing

widely in backgrounds, ideals and as- pirations. In correlation with this fact, the need for religious activities

serve gestions are needed at this stage.

The editors feel that among'the thousand or so students enrolled, there will be a few ideas concerning this new University project.

Therefore the FIAT wishes to be the recipient of any of your sug- j organizations are formed to meet this gestions. Address your mail to the FIAT LUX, Box 754, or deliver

them to the FIAT office. Any and all ideas received will be presented to President Drake for his consideration.

Old Union

Compliments of the whole school to the Union Board and all those concerned on the redecoration of the Union. Improvement of ex- isting facilities is up 100%, especially considering the limited facil- ities and money the Board had to work with. Until the new Union is a reality, the existing Union will more than do.

The time and money spent in redecorating the Union can only be justified if each student assumes personally the responsibilty of keeping the Union in good shape. Those who take so much pleasure in comparing Alfred's Union to its equivalent on such campuses as Cornell may remember the fine condition those Unions are kept in; one doesn't find chairs scattered haphazardly around the room, torn cushions, or even cigarette butts in anyplace but ashtrays'.

The student body can prove that they have enough responsibility to deserve a new Union by taking care of what they have now.

Student

Outlook

by Marv Bell

All students who are interested in a combined plan of English with Col- umbia University should gp to Dean Marshall's office to fill out applica- tions for the plan. This is primarily for freshmen, but may be capitalized on by upperclassmen who have not yet filled out the preliminary forms.

The coming assembly on Thurs., Nov. 3, will be a presentation of the skills of fencing. Prior to this assem- bly, all students required to attend as- semblies should receive seating as- Bignment cards from the registrar's office. So now you know just where you stand . . . uh, sit.

Activities of this' group are varied.

Last Sunday, they circulated in the village helping the residents in a

"treat instead of a trick" Halloween observance. Two retreats are held an- nually; a planning conference in the fall and a joint get-together with the Ag-Tech fellowship in the spring. Both are held off campus at Silver Lake.

November 6, the group is sponsoring a panel discussion, featuring represen- tatives of all the religious groups with- in the university. According to Miss Koch, the purpose for the panel is "to acquaint the students with the for- eign students, as many of us do not know them and many of them do not know us."

for the year are president, David Hart;

secretary, Ann Sullvan and treasurer, Charles Fink. Each spring they hold a retreat, on campus featuring speakers from St. Bonaventure's University.

Officers for the year are to be elected in the coming weeks.

While the other religious groups on campus do not have organized student activities, students are welcome at their services.

Senatorially Speaking

by Judy Lerner

The following may seem rather explosive for one's first journal- istic endeavor, but perhaps that in itself is the reason. For a long time now I have had much to say regarding Senate affairs, and now that I have the opportunity, I plan on speaking my mind.

It seems to me now as it has for the past three years, during which time I was "alternate" from

the Brick, interested non-member at 25, D. C. Applications must be post- i large, and now finally, representative marked no later than January 24, 1956.

Madamoiselle's second annual Art Contest is now under way.-All women in a college or art scjiool and under 26 years of age may enter. Submit enough work to show your ability—at least five samples, .in any medium:

(Continued from page one.) makeup was barely distinguishable, so little was used. Lighting affects were simply constant white lights focused on the actors. Costumes were merely hinted at and the few effects which were used were used well. This presen- tational style focuses audience atten- tion totally on the actors and elimin- ates any distracting influences. Facial expressions and movement gave mean- ing frequently with more force than the dialogue. Almost everything was left to the ability of the actor and each of them fulfilled his parts admirably.

The attitudes described in this play concerning Protestantism national- ism and the techniques of warfare are represntative of the modern mind.

from Theta Theta Chi, that many of our Student Senate representatives are not really representatives at all."

All too often senators vote accord- ing to their own personal whims, and therefore, without any regard for the sentiments of the houses that elected them to office. More tragic than this failing is the fact that the thought of the general welfare more than just occasionally, is • eluded, avoided, or simply circumspected. Let's face it . . . we could pin the blame on student apathy for a change, arid maybe there's something worthwhile in that. But somehow I'm inclined to think that some of our representatives are not fully aware of their responsibilities, and are taking too much into their own hands. House meetings are the place to discuss Senate problems which pertain to the students of Alfred Uni- versity. Representatives should not be shy in getting house reactions on cur- rent issues.

Joan herself,

anachronism. can be considered an born before her time | ater.

and hardly understood by her contemp- oraries. The conflct of the play is the conflct which arises from the strug- gle between Joan's ideals and those already established by the state and the church. Joan has an extreme pow- er of persuasion; she could put spirit into men and lead them to victory.

All this the people were ready to ac- cept but they wouldn't accept her as a permanent part of their lives. It was her superior attitude that made her contemporaries lead her to the stake. Their jealousy of her careless attitude to authority didn't reach her because for her. God was the only au- thority. The lines which sum up Joan's struggle occur in the question which is left with the audience. "O, Gold, that madest this beautfful earth, wken will it be ready to receive Thy saints?

How. long, O, Lord, how long?"

Certainly the impact of this fine production doesn't oome all at once.

The intensity which pervaded the en- tire production dominated the audi- ence long after they had left the the-

No one expects that every student be interested in the governing body of Alfred University. But it seems a crime that so many think of the Sen- ate

1

as a center of finances and noth- ing more. It is true that all clubs on campus are supported through Sen- ate funds, but after such interests are satisfied, every Sam, John and Morris requisitions money for some purpose or other. Then the going gets rough, especially for the treasurer, who, be- lieve me does not have unlimited amounts with which to work. What happens is that we have too many un- justified requests. All the senators may want to condone a needy situa- tion, but only a few realize, though they've been told time and time again, that we just cannot afford to serve as a piggy bank for the entire cam- pus. The result is that the Senate has just allocated $175 in order to send the band to the Hobart game. I can- not deny that this year's band and accompanying drum majorette corps have been very impressive and that our unbeaten football team deserves the best. However, when the treasur- er's committee reports that the Sen- ate can only afford $110, which would cover transportation fully, and then is threatened that the band will not be sent unless its fifty members are to be given money for a meal besides, something is definitely wrong. There's absolutely no reason why the Senate should furnish money for food for these people, and yet fifty or sixty dollars will be spent in just that man- ner. As a matter of fact, the treasurer has been forced to "give away" a few other checks, and the Senate is rapid- ly becoming somewhat like one of these give-away quiz shows with a few senators asking the questions without ever receiving any of the right answers.

All this I hope will be some food for thought and possibly action on the part of the students of Alfred Univer- sity. All is not wrong in the Senate and perhaps next week, just for con-

trast, I will be able to show some of the "finer" aspects of Student Sen- ate affairs.
