Imitations Amused AT

Assembly

William Ames, "master of a thous- and voices" and star of stage, screen, radio and TV, presented unique "Cal- -vacade of a Thousand Voices," to an Ag-Tech audience at 11 this morning in Alumni Hall.

An outstanding impersonator, he numbers among his repertoire the -voices of President Truman, Winston Churchill, Lionel Barrymore, Peter X,orrie, F. D. Roosevelt, Fred Allen Charles Boyer, Drew Pearson. LaGuar-

<lia, Beatrice Lillie, Charlie McCarthy, Jimmy Durante, Mrs. Eleanor Roose- velt, W. C. Fields and Gabriel Heater.

Bill Ames began his career quite by accident. He gave his first per- formance just for laughs before a meeting m a civic club in his home- town of Ridgewood, New Jersey. He

•was so successful that he soon received invitations to repeat his per- formance.

His fame spread rapidly, and it was only a short step to stage, screen, nnd such radio programs as the "March

•of Time." "Chesterfield Supper Club,"

and "Hobby Lobby" and, recently TV.

1 Before he undertakes his imperson- ations, Mr. Ames describes the tech- nique which gives force, power and individuality to each voice. His pre- sentation, therefore, combines humor- ous entertainment with educational underones.

Teacher Here Gets Leading

Position

A former English instructor here has become an educational leader at the University of Chicago.

Galway Kinnell, who taught here for two years before his resignation last spring, has been named director i of adult education in Chicago's famed

Great Books course. '

"The job is a combination of three jobs—dean of students, publicity director and director of admissions."

Mr. Kinnell toll a group of students and faculty during a brief return here before vacation.

As head of the course, Mr. Kinnell will supervise 10 professors and more than 100 adult students. His aim is to double and if possible triple the size of the course, he said.

"The four year course requires strenuous reading, beyond the abili- ties of even the best undergraduate here," Mr. Kinnell said. Classes are held three evenings a week for four years.

While most of Mr. Kinnell's duties will be administrative he will teach as often as possible—-probably one night a week at first he said.

As a member of the Alfred faculty, Mr. Kinnell taught English literature and poetry courses and lectured in the civilization class.

He is a graduate of Princeton Uni- versity and received his M.A. from the University of Rochester.

Highlight of the Winter Carnival, the Sno-Ball, has been scheduled for Friday, Feb. 8, from 9 p. m. until 2 a.

m., in the Men's Gym.

Outing Clubbers announced the ball this week along with the engagement, of Art Dedrick's orchestra for the event. Couples will see one of the five queen candidates receive her ] crown during the intermission from 11 lo 12.

The gym will be decorated to resem-!

ble the terrace of the queen's challet. j Another sensation of the snow cele- i bratlon will be the traditional snow , sculptures on residence lawns. "Norse I Mythology", according to AOC, will j be the theme for these. There's no limit for size save the sculptures mast be visible to the naked eye.

Two cups will be awarded this year;

one to the men and one to t,he women. The cups will rotate until they are won by one group three times.

They retire then.

All entries for snow sculpturing must be submitted by Feb. 1 to the snow sculpture committee; Box 42.

Psych Club to Hatch

Early Spring Confab

The Psychology club will meet at 7:30 p.m., Thursday in room 2 at South Hall.

Prexy Vin Gazzetta says that plans I to hold the annual undergraduate psychology conference here at Alfred next spring will be discussed in a brief meeting.

Ceramic Building Equipment

Contracts Let

Contracts totaling $200,000 were recently awarded to several firms for equipping the new College of Ceramics building, according to Dean John F.

McMahon.

The Hamilton Manufacturing Com- pany of Two Rivers, Wis., low bidder for supplying the equipment, has been awarded contracts amounting to nearly $197,000.

The $200,000 allotment from the State University of New York is for permanent laboratory equipment only.

Dean McMahon said. Under the contracts, 176 different items of equipment for the ceramic engineering, research, chemistry and design departments have been ordered. The equipment consists largely of tables, benches, shelves and cabinets, to be delivered in July or August.

Construction on the new building is reported on schedule. All outside!

brick work has now been completed \ and workmen are concentrating on finishing the inside work by summer.

When completed, the building will increase the facilities of the Ceramics College by more than 30 per cent.

February Finishers are Expected by Dean Gertz

All students who are candidates for graduation this February are requested to see Dean Fred Gertz for an appointment as soon as possible.

The appointment, the dean tells us, is to facilitate the handling of interviews of February graduates.

Award Winning Designer

Spurned Politics tor Bronze

By Dorothy Sachs

Bronze and silver craft work were more appealing than Hegel or John Stuart Mill to Ronny Pearson so he set up his tent in Alfred.

His work is now showing in the Good Design-1951 exhibit of the Museum of Modern Art. Like Minnie Negoro whose art work was featured last year in this exhibit, Ronny is a former AU student.

He arrived on this campus in 1947 after one year of political science at the University of Wisconsin and over four years in the Merchant Marine.

After the war, when he had decided that he "could not reform the world by studying political science," he came to the Alfred Craft School to study metal work.

Starts Shop

The artistic inclinations came from his^ father. Ralph M. Pearson, who is a leading author, teacher, and critic of art. "I couldn't help picking up something about design in that atmosphere"

says Ronny.

After a one year stint in the Craft School, Ronny took the advice of one of his teachers who said that the only way to learn something is to go out and do it. He did just that.

At first he shared Ben Segal's ceramic shop. Then, in June 1948, he con- verted a garage into a shop of his own and proceeded to win a first prize for silversmithing with the first piece he turned out.

Prize Winner

Ronny's bronze and hammered silver work has since received first prize for craft work at the Rochester Finger- lakes Exhibit and has been featured for the past two years in the "Good Design" exhibits at the Merchandise Mart shows in Chicago.

Most of his work is for wholesale dealers and is sold from coast to coast including Bonnier's and Rosenthal's in New York.

Ronny insists that the making of silver jewelry is only a sideline for him but we suggest that you have a look at it (his shop is opposite the ski tow) because it would be hard to describe the beautiful, originally de- signed pieces he makes. Coral, jade,

Never Say Die

How often have you heard someone say, "I don't think I'll bother to apply at graduate schools after I graduate. I'll only be drafted anyway." I

You may be drafted but the arrival of greetings doesn't mean you arc going out of existence. The chances are you won't be draft- ed if you are going on to graduate school. The defense mobilizers realize that the more education an inductee has, the more valuable he can be to the service. That's why they are letting students finish their education before drafting them. It doesn't mean that the stu- dents are excused from military service; it is a postponement.

This is what the Director of Defense Mobilization said in a re- port to the President last fall:

"Our most serious long-range manpower problem is the need for more of the highly skilled technical and professional workers.

We need such skills right now but our needs will grow as the pre- sent program reaches its peak

"A stijdy completed in August shows that it will be increasing- ly difficult to meet requirements for obtaining professional personnel even if the current policies on deferment of college students are con- tinued "

The report says the expected 1954 supply of physicians will fall short by an estimated 22,000, dentists by 9,000 and nurses by 49,000.

The need for teachers will be at least as great as it is now.

The significance is obvious. We must not give up our plans for more education because of a discouraging draft outlook. Fatalism never did pay very big dividends. After all, today's draft law may be passe tomorrow, but the need for trained professional people will continue.

Two Vacancies

The resignation of two faculty members at the School of Theo- logy serves to remind us that while Ag-Tech and the two colleges of the University have been loudly trumpeting their horns of publicity, the little school in the Gothic has been quietly turning out graduates.

Only at the rate of two a year it is true, but the fact that a small school of theology can convince anyone to enter the ministry in these days of de-emphasis of religion is in itself a wonder.

The announced resignation of Dean Bond who has so ably headend the School for the past 17 years leaves a big vacancy in the staff.

Finding someone with Dean Bond's teaching ability and understand- ing of religeon will be a difficult task. No less a problem will be the replacement of Dr. Rood who has been an inspiration to the students at the school and to many others who have associated with him.

TV or Not TV

A week ago everyone was looking back over 1951 to pick out the most newsworthy events of the year. Many votes for the best entertainment went to the televised Kefauver committee hearings which commanded a wide audience.

This sudden introduction of television into government poses a problem: Should hearings before congressional committee and even the sessions of congress itself be open to the snooping eyes and ears of the TV camera.

Those who say yes argue that we, as bosses of the men in Wash- ington, have the right to peer over their shoulders. Televised sessions of congress and committee hearings give the activities of govern- ment wide attention and this enlivened interest, brings with it better government the pro TV side says.

That could be. Certainly the hearings last year were interesting.

They brought about wide attention to a little known Senator named Kefauver and a less known gangster called Costello. The hearings

•wrought up public interest in a cleanup of corruption.

But on the basis of one experience* with televised hearings, we can see that they are little more than entertainment. How can a witness testify accurately when he is facing the intense lights of the TV cameras and is confronted with cameras, microphones and other paraphanalia? He can't. He is more interested in putting on a good appearance to the folks at home. The testimony makes about as much sense as a Russian peace plan.

Besires getting poor testimony from witnesses, TV brings out' the ham in the investigating committee and produces inquisitors like Senator Tobey, more comical than competent. The hearing becomes a political football or a cheap substitute for Milton Berle or the dancing cigarette commercials.

Then there is the danger in open investigations of dragging the names of innocent people into the quagmire of corruption. It is hard to clear the false charges after they have been heard by most of the televiewers in the country.

It isn't often a newspaper will advocate keeping government functions behind closed doors. In this case we do. Congressional in- vestigating committee hearings are no place for the TV or news- reel cameras, the radio mikes and sometimes not even the newspaper reporters. Presence of the news hawks often tends to close up sources of information or to spread false information.

Televiewers should get their entertainment at the expense of the soap and cigarette companies, not at the price of government made into a farce.

What brought all this about today ? Well, rumor has it that this very topic will be booted around tonight at the meeting of the Poli- tical Science Club. No television cameras will be present.

Collegetown By Samuel Astrachan Sam Astrachan is a freshman student at Columbia University, in addition to being the brother of one of our students here. Dtu>

ing the past year he worked his way overseas on a liberty boat, ap- peared as a youth panel member on the Kate Smith TV show and, in addition to regular course work, studied the short story at the New School where his creative efforts in literature were warmly received.

Ma's Is Better Than Library

There seems to be a movement a- foot to discourage students from using the library. It has been going on slow- ly but surely for the past few years.

It started when the few books we have were hidden away in the stack room.

Then came the unwritten law that all class gifts must be for athletic equipment and all endowments toward bell collections.

For the benefit of those die-hards who were still not dicouraged, a program was initiated to close the library during the greater part of the weekend and whenever there is a ping-pong tournament or a stamp collector's meeting.

Having smothered all initiative in the way of reading for enjoyment, the library is now clamping down on students who are doing assigned work in the library. No one is allowed a close look at the reserve shelves for fear that they will find the book they are looking for. Near sighlted students are especially out of luck.

Anyone requesting information at the desk is either ignored or repulsed with a curt, "Look in the card" cata- logue."

The odds are almost overwhelming at this point. No wonder students go down the road instead of to the library.

Ma's is vastly superior to the library in the way of service, supply and avail- ability of products.

It's high time Seniors started investigating job opportunities, and began applying for fellowships and scholarships at graduate schools.

With that thought in mind the Fiat beginning this week will print information for seniors under this headline. All faculty members who have information for the column should see that it gets to the Fiat office by Sunday morning every week that a paper is sched- uled.

Some information on fellowships and scholarship opportunities is on file with Dean Cecile Beeman in Greene Hall. A complete list of open- ings available is in. Dean H. O. Bur- dick's office.

Dean Burdick reported Sunday that he is mimeographing a list of school opportunities to be distributed to seniors through departments. From now until March 15 is the crucial time for applying for these offers, Dean Burdick added. After that date the most of the business will center around jobs. y

As for jobs Dean Fred Gertz has announced that the General Cable Corp., Wellington and Co. (accountants) and the Y.M.C.A. are seeking personnel for various jobs with their organizations. Complete information may be obtained in Dean Gertz' office.

The Equitable Life Assurance Co.

is also interested in interviewing ap- plicants for positions as administrative trainees. Full information may be obtained in Dean Gertz' office.

Dean G«rtz has also announced that he has a rather full brochure with

"Camp jobs galore."

The Navy and Marine Corps are of- fering various officer candidate programs for college students and graduates.

Both services offer summer train- ing programs leading to a commission in the reserves.

The marine corps also offers a seven month officers candidate course for qualified men and women. Detail- id Information concerning these programs will be published in the following weeks.

Seniors and others who are interested in the outlook for various career positions may find the Occupational Outlook Handbook, published by the Department of Labor, pertinent.

Fatal Picture

Man stands ready as a puppet. H e has lost his sense of right and wrong.

He relies on law and religeon to tell him if he does right. He relies on luck tp lead him correctly. Law, religion, luck—all of these things gradu- ally have served to separate man from God.

Man must look within himself, search within himself for God. GoiS will not come from space.

When I write this, I still hear t h e noise of the rattles, the booming Happy New Year. I hear the toast

"To a good New Year," and my heart is sick.

I am sick and I lose faith in Man.

Man must discover what he is: a creature of God, not of law, religion

The George Washington University i Student Union is starting off the new I year with additional services to the students.

Typewriters are now available to the students at ten cents a half hour.

They also have drafted a new set of rules one of which is; Women students are not to wear slacks, shorts, or jeans in the Union.

Along the same line, The Penn State Dairy Collegian recently carried a gripping review of the National Safety Council's yearly roundup of weird ac- cidents. The survey is evidently intended to prove that anything can happen, and it proves it conclusively.

Take for example, the case of little Claude W., a boy who, having been rejected by his parents, developed a feeling of hostility and lay down in the road in the path of an oncoming steamroller. The machine knocked the lad down, natch, and passed over his legs and hip. Was he hurt?

Nope, the asphalt was soft, he was pushed down into it and suffered only minor injuries.

In our eagerness to supply the campus with reso-

On th better side we have Dave Harrison. He has built a better alarm clock and we're still wait- ing for the world to beat a path to his .door. His unique method of getting up reads something like a Rube Goldberg cartoon,

This completes a circuit that turns on a wire recorder the following 3 or 4 minutes of this is dedi- cated' to rousing cries of "Get up Har- rison—no, no, don't pull back those covers." From then on he is entertained by a concert of hill-billy music which Mr. Harrison informs us is his particular bug-a-boo.

He still hasn't discovered how to placate fellow students whose classes don't begin until ten o'clock.

Every year there is a lot of excitement and speculation about who will be the next Student Sen- ate president. It is the one organization on campus which doesn't try to get money but doles it out. It is praised and criticized both constructively and de- structively. This week I thought it would be a good

idea the Raving Reporter asked some of the juniors and seniors what they thought of the Student Senate after having praised, criticized x and endured it for three or four years.

Lou Patrizio: "I think that gener- ally it is well organized although it could be modified. There is less quib- bling than last year, by that I mean that it runs smoothly and there is leBs haggling over minor points. I don't think though that there is enough participation and representation on

An opportunity for young scientist to broaden their scientific knowledge is offered by the Merck Postdoctoral Fellowships for 1952-53. They -were recently announced by the National Research Council, Washington, D. C.

Applications must be filed before January 15, 1952 at the Fellowship Office, National Research Council, 2101 Constitution Ave., Washington, D. C.

Dave Woodin: "I think that the Stu- dent Senate is okay in fact it's a pretty good organization. Although Burdick Hall is about the only place on campus where independents have any form of participation."

Dave Early: "All I have heard about the Student Senate is that they allo- cate funds for various organizations on campus. The policy for distributing information to the students is poor and might be better if a definite account of the meeting were published in the Fiat."

Chickie Ballman: "I think a few senators do all the work while the others just sit back and watch. These who just sit back and watch are not good representatives of their students."

I think that if the independent students feel strongly enough about their class and are active enough in their class they will be represented in the Senate as the class presidents are sup- posed to represent the independents."

(As a little side comment or loosely speaking as Lorenso Jones would say, Chickie says, "The Senate could learn a lot from the way the WSG operate."

Maybe it's just the other way around Chickie)

George Herrick: I feel that there is no excuse for any group on campus t o feel that they are not represented, with the present set up of individual house representatives- and representation for independents through their class presidents.

The main purpose of student government is to give the student an opportunity to take part in the University administration. Therefore a poor Stu- dent Senate is a direct reflection upon the interest of the student body in their part in the University administration."

What does the rest of the campus think? Let's have some suggestions and comments.

Infirmary Notes

Clawson Health Center played host to three students this week who were too tired from vacation to return to classes. The trio included Betty Lou Ogden, who was probably only shirk- ing from writing her women's sports column; Suzanne Sage and Barbara Sirlin.

Just 'about every team but the Har- lem Globetrotters will be playing basketball here at Alfred Saturday! The WAGB has invited girls from Cornell, Cortland, Elmira, Keuka, St. Lawrence and Wells to participate in a playday which will keep the South Hall courts busy all day. Tryouts for the Alfred squad were held Saturday.

They returned from vacation refreshed for their Saturday game, which they took from Henderson House, 37-16. Jean Hunt was top scorer with 15 points.

Theta Chi also met the Brick. Satur- day morning in what turned out to be a thriller. The Brick girls were leading 14-11 at the half, but Theta came back to win 32-24. with the help of Reggie Kittel, who contributed 20 points. High scorer for the Brick was ter.

Exam Slateii For Future Pluggers

Think you can make the cigarettes dance better on TV?

Then maybe you'll want to take t h e advertising examination to be given Feb. 16 and 23 in New York.

Conducted by the American Associ- ation of Advertising Agencies, the annual aptitude tests are given "to at- tract higher-calibre young people to advertising and to test them for various kinds of work in the industry,"

according to the chairman of the New York A.A.A.A.

The (examination is intended for college seniors and juniors as well as people under 30 years of age, not working in advertising.

A fee of $20 will be charged for the exam. Information will be sent upon inquiry to the A.A.A.A. Exami- nation Committee, Room 1750, 420 Lexington Avenue. New York, N. Y.

Where's Tasmania?

With the Snow-Ball threatening to come off sometime in February, we wonder if the board has contacted weatherman Saunders and ordered seven railroad carloads of snow ship- ped in from Vancouver?

Ag-Tech students will step inside mechanical brains with the aid of Ed- mund C. Berkeley and "Simon" next Tuesday at an 11 a.m. assembly in Alumni Hall.

"Simon," the world's smallest mechanical brain, is the brainchild of Mr.

Berkeley. Simon weighs only forty pounds and occupies a space of one and one-quarter cubic feet. Mr. Berke- ley describes its "memory" as com- posed of "sixteen boxes for holding numbers".

"Simon" is shown, operated and ex- plained at lectures, and members of the audience are invited to operate the machine.

Edmund Berkeley graduated with an A.B. summa cum laude in mathematics from Harvard College in 1930. In 1941 he became affiliated as an actu- ary with the Prudential Insurance Company and eventually became Chief Research Consultant to that firm.

During his wartime naval career he was stationed at the Harvard Com- putation Laboratory. He has had ex- tensive experience in the study and use of mechanical brains and such re- lated subjects as mathematics, mathe- matical logic and computing.-

He is also a consultant in the field of the applications, marketing and uses of automatic machinery for hand- liriK information and computing.

In commenting about mechanical brains, Mr. Berkeley points out that

"giant brains are capable of complet- ing in ten minutes the problems that would take a mathematician working day and night more than three years to solve."

Explaining the memory of giant brains, he states "figures which the individual would store in his memory or jot down in his notebook for future use, are 'trapped' in a cycle of elec- trical impluses and held until they are needed for a later stage in the problem."

Mr. Berkeley sees the development of mechanical brains as "only in its | infancy, yet already we have machines j that see better than eyes, calculate more reliably than brains, communi- cate faster and father than the voice, record more accurately than memory, and act faster and better than hands."

Some places they ski on straw. Well, hey, hey.

Shutt Fixes Faulty Voices

At Speech Clinic

Nine students at the New York State Agricultural and Technical Institute in Alfred received clinical attention in speech during the first quarter of the school year, ending Dec. 14.

The speech clinic, directed by James W. Shutt, was newly instituted when school opened last September. Mr.

Shutt brought to the clinic more than two hundred hours of supervised' clinical experience (from Ohio State Uni- versity and the New York State College for Teachers in Albany.

More than 80 hours of speech cor- rection was conducted during the quarter, with a total of twenty- six individual contacts during the period.

The records also show that one case was discharged at the quarter's end.

The other cases will receive further treatment at regularly scheduled per- iods.

In commenting on the clinic, Mr.

Shutt stated "Difficulties in articula- tion or oral inaccuracy, such as lisp- ing, were predominant. Deficiencies in rhythm such as stuttering, com- posed the next largest group of deficiencies. Other difficulties included the areas of pitch, monotone, undue hoarseness, and inflection.

AT Coed Holds Grange Scholarship from State

Campus Interviews on Cigarette Tests

No. 31...THE MOUNTAIN GOAT

l i e thought they were trying to make him the butt-end

of a joke when he was asked to judge cigarette mildness with a mere puff of one brand and a quick sniff of another. The fancy foot-work didn't dazzle him ! He knew that the pinnacle of pleasure comes from steady smoking . . . and that there is only one test that gives you enough time to permit conclusive proof. Smokers throughout America have made the same decision !

It's the sensible test... the 30-Day Camel Mildness

Test, which simply asks you to try Camels on a

day-after-day, pack-after-pack basis. No snap judgments ! Once you've tried Camels for 30 days in your "T-Zone"

(T for Throat, T for Taste), you'll see why . . .
