Tunnel Being Extended to Fill Part of the Kanakadea Creek

The portion of the Kana,kedea Creek in front of the heating plant is currently being filled in and a tunnel is being laid for the passage of the water.

The plan to fill in this area was participated by the Allegany Tele- phone Company which wanted to secure additional land around its dial house, located behind Physics Hall.

Last Thursday morning, Dean James Harlan Cleveland, of the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse Univer- sity, was speaker at the annual Founders' Day Convocation.

At part of the program Mr. Les- ton Paul Faneuf, President of Bell Aircraft, was presented with the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws.

Mr. Faneuf has not only been active in the industrial field, but has shown a diversity of outside inter- ests that astound most people.

At various times in his career, he has held position as radio com- mentator, a writer of political articles, and has served on com- mittees for public welfare.

Mr. Faneuf would seem to illus- trate the ideal that Dean Cleve- land outlined in his address. Cleve- land feels that we are living in an over-specialized world. "As every- body knows, the modern way to get ahead is to climb the ladder of some rather narrow specialty."

After reaching proficiency in one of these fields, most people stay there because of the feeling of security it gives them.

< It is no small wonder. These people have come in contact with little else outside this field since

by Katby O'Donnell their early college days. Those who do choose to leave their field and enter the realm of general decision find that . . . "Suddenly they are

in trouble, deep trouble.

We in society look to these ex- perts for advice. They in turn give this advice with little or no knowledge of what they are actually speaking. Each expert • ,• • "makes

predictions from his own specialized field without taking into con- sideration the modifying effects of the other specialties."

of the present one which goes under the Union and comes out by the heating plant. "The point where the stream emerged was formerly dangerous, unusable, and an eyesore," stated Fred Palmer, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, who is in charge of the project. Completion of the tunnel will make possible the manufacture of some valuable land between the heating plant and Greene Hall which may be used for building purposes or a parking lot.

105 feet ot eight-foot culvert pipe are being laid on the creek bed to form the basis for the tunnel.

Debris from the demolition of Ken- yon Hall is being used to fill, and top soil or cement will be spread on top to form the surface.

Various problems are involved in the construction of this tunnel. Two of the most important, according to Mr. Palmer, are problems of ele- vation change and of wash at the end of the tunnel.

The present tunnel, which is di- rectly under the anteway between the Burdick Hall section of the Union and the annex, was con- structed approximately seventy-five years ago. It is made of stones in an arch formation and is laid on wood pilings which are still in excellent condition.

From the Editors . . .

Communication . . .

The mere fact that one is registered in an institution of higher learning implies that this person has thereby assumed responsibility and rights commensurate with the level of ma- turity.

The attempts to bring the events of this past week to light and to disparage them has, by consequence of the illegitimate means employed served to solve nothing; nor has it brought any relevant facts into view.

The problems arising from these events are more involved than what appears on the surface—limitations on the fraterni- ties. By means of, arii as direct consequence of, these and other reactions to-similar steps taken by the administration, both we of the student body and the members of the .administration should endeavor to re-evaluaite the underlying philosophy of our university.

For one, it appears to us, there is at issue a failure in the chain of communication. Notwithstanding the fact that it :js something of a college "tradition" for student body to oppose, per se, the actions of administration, there seems to be an even greater, involuntary, failure in communication between the members of the student body itself.

A cause for this stems from a question often ignored by students, faculty and administration alike concerning what is expected of the Alfred Student. What does Alfred University stand for and what does it wish to be the actions goals and at- titudes of its student body? In no well-defined manner have answers to this question been set down so the students may be- come acquainted with their true responsibilities as members of the college community.

And so, when limitations on student action are put into effect, the immediate reaction on the part of the student body is one of an absolutely critical nature. The main point of aggra- vation seems to be that the lack of knowledge about causes for administrative action.

However, we wish to state that we feel no positive solution

V

to these problems can be found by acting hastily, Without due defenrence to facts and to what may be the actual situation. No one can afford to strike out at something about which he has lit- tle or no definite knowledge. There is only one place to which the student body can logically turn to obtain this knowledge. And this is the administration.

What is needed is not anonymously produced literature fill- ed with invective and anger, but rather, carefully planned and thought-out, well-documented, and at all times, RESPONSIBLE action on the part of the student body.

May we suggest that the existing situation is in dire need of remedy and that, since we do not possess the solutions to this problem, there should be taken, immediately, positive ac- tion to determine whether there may be any sober manner in which problems involving communications can be brought out into the light in which problems must be viewed.

It seems to us that the student body has reached the point by mere definition, where it can and should assume responsi- bility for its actions. This can only come about if the student body is adequately informed by the proper authorities of exact- ly what is expected of them. A simple explanation of what ac- tions are within the limits of the Alfred University perspective and which are not would go far toward dispensing with the previously employed "ex post facto'' decisions.

How much simpler it is to delineate what constitutes stu- dent misapplication of principles in the beginning, rather than wait for such misapplications to occur and then, as a post mortem, explicate. ••

Responsibility is both an obligation and a right . . .

Ooen Letter to Freshmen Men

by Steve Chaleff Publicity Director, IFC Now more than ever before, fra-

ternities here at Alfred occupy a most important and central position in campus life.

The combined cumulative index- es of fraternity men are substan- tially higher that that of non-fraternity men. An important factor in this is undoubtedly the close bonds among fraternity men. A fraternity man can always get competent help in any subject that he is having trouble with and is always willing to help in return. Also, the atmos- phere at fraternities is conductive to study.

But Alfred's fraternity men are

The League of Women Voters met last Wednesday evening in Myers Hall to hear speakers on the coming New York State elections.

Mrs. S. R. Scholes, Jr., president of the League, dispensed with a business meeting and turned the program over to Mrs. Regis Deuel;

who introduced the speakers for the Republican and Democratic candidates. Mrs. Walter Lang made known the names and qualifica- tions of the Republican candidates for office. Mrs. John Wood spoke for the Democratic party.

Mr. Paul Tully, lawyer from Buf- falo, outlined the duties of the at- torney general.( Some of these are directing state legal affairs, inter- preting state -law, and prosecuting and defending civil actions and pro- ceedings for and against the state.

The New York State Law Office is the second largest in the United States.

Mr. William "Serra, County At- torney, and Mrs. Edward Lebohner, A. U. Treasurer, discussed the two amendments and three propositions which will also appear on the not- ing machines.

Amendment one concerns county home rule. It will lessen restric- tions by the legislature in adopt- ing and amending alternative forms of county government. Amendment

by Emmalyn Heed

number two concerns teritporary housing finance . and will extend from two to five years the time limit on money borrowed by the state.

The three propositions concern housing. Number one has to do with state debt and slum clear- ance. Number two deals with state debt and midde income and number three with subsidies and urban renewal.

Facts for Voters will be distributed to citizens of the area. The Alfred League of Women Voters has also collaborated with the Wellsville branch to compile and publish the pamphlet, "Our County Allegany." It is designed to explain the actual makeup of the county government. Sale price of these booklets is fifty cents. They may be obtained from members of the League.

well-rounded individuals, and they love/a good time. Practically every we^jk there are a number of fraternity parties on campus at which everyone "has a ball" whether t h e party is one with a theme such a s a "Shipwreck Party," a "Hawaiian Party," a "Playboy", party, a "Bel- gian Congo" party or just a "party party.'; These weekly parties a r e . undoubtedly the center of campus social life.

But the best times of all a r e had on the really big w e e k e n d s - Homecoming, IFC Weekend, and St. Pat's. At these times the fraternities really show that they are the social leaders of the campus.*

They are the gathering places for alumni and friends, they are t h e groups that make the floats for St.

Pat's, in fact they make these fab- ulous weekends as great as they are.

One <of the best things about Al- fred's fraternities is that they a r e continually trying to better themselves. Fraternity men make a con- tinual effort to improve everything about their houses from the room and board facilities to t h e social life to, of course, scholarship. And it is obvius how well they are succeeding. Truly, fraternities here at Alfred are better than ever.

To uphold the quality of their fraternities, fraternity men are continually on the lookout for good potential pledges, who in turn will become the fraternity men and leaders of Alfred. At all fraternities, no matter how large or small, the quantity and quality of the pledge class is of the utmost im- portance.

To frosh men, who want good scholarship, good social life, and 'the spirit of fraternalism," your IFC has this advice: GO FRATER- NITY.

Student Groups Help Parties In Political Campaign Effort

For the past few weeks, students from the Alfred campus have been participating in campaign activities for the Republican and Democratic parties in Hornell and Wellsville.

On October 6, members of the Young Republicans attended the Al- legany Republican County Commit- tee meeting in Belmont. At this meeting Republican County Chair- man Haper welcomed the Alfred delegation, consisting of Art Bres- nick, Bob Cohen, Jake Fredericks and Dick Zodikoff, and outlined

Campaign material collected at t h i s meeting ^ a s distributed around the campus. Last Saturday several students drove to Wells ville to aid their party in registra- tion. They plan to return on election day to encourage 'votors to go to the polls. Work has also been done in Hornell.

The Democratic Student Partici- pation Committee was contacted by Mr. Joseph Cullen, a Democratic leader in Hornell, and asked to par- ticipate in door-to-door canvassing in the city. The purpose of thitf

canvassing was to find the Demo- cratic voters in Hornell and'make sure they registered.

On October 8 and 9 students canvassed Districts 1 and 2 in Hornell covering four wards. Approximately 800 houses wer canvassed. The students distributed ^handbills and absentee ballots.

Members of the committee also worked in Wellsville, calling voters and reminding them to register.

The students will return to Wells- ville on election day to finish the campaign by urging citizens to vote.

New X-Ray Device Is Added to Ceramics Research Equipment

A new $15,000 x-ray device has been added to the research equip-|

ment at the College of Ceramics.

Dr. Wayne E. Brownell, associate professor of research said the new equipment "brings us right up to date in x-ray diffraction techniques used to identify and study the structure of crystals."

The x-ray spectrogoniometer has a tube that operates with a power of 50,000 volts and requires cooling by a circulating water system like an automobile engine.

The tube produces varied wave lengths of x-ray radiation at the flick of a switch. Different wave lengths are used to study different I types of materials.

. Ceramic prod cuts and raw materials are essentially crystalline, and the device is an important tool in identifying the type of crye- tals making up a sample and in de- termining the structure of the crystal itself.

On Saturday, October 25, at 3:30 p.m., Hillel will present two films entitled; "An American Girl" and

Last Sunday night, Prof. David Leach of the History and Political Science department, spoke to the Canterbury Club on the topic,

"Christianity^ History- and Revela- tion."

As part of the current program oil the nature, revelance and credi- bility of Christianity, his talk dealt with man's attempt to explain his history — past, present, and future and the validity of Christianity being its sole explanation.

. This Sunday night the speaker

"will be the Rev. / Robert Bone, Episcopal Chaplain, who will dis- cuss "The Meaning of Faith, Be-

Mrs. Houghton came to Alfred to visit her daughter who is the wife of Van Derek Frechette of the Ceramic College. She decided that she would like to live where her grandchildren were growing up.

She found. that being a housemother was not only a living but a pleasant way to live.

In the past Mrs. Houghton did extensive PTA work but, when her children were out of school, she felt that she should give younger women a chance to do the work.

Her intrest in working in schools stems from this past work.

Mrs. Houghton ssvid, "I have a great deal of fa}th and pride in young women. It is just as much a challenge to be a real woman these days'as ever* before. Pioneer women have nothing on the young women of today."

After her four years of residence, Mrs. Houghton feels that Alfred is a way of life and a home.' She feels that a dormitory could not be run without the aid of the student counselors. Mrs. Houghton believes in preventive counselaring.

She feels that she knows ' limitations and when to make referrals.

She has found, that the girls who don't intend to stay in school for the full four years give the most trouble in the dormitory.

Harriers Defeat Colgate 24-31;

Canisius Invitational Is Next

The Harriers of Alfred Univer- sity won their third straight cross

country meet last Saturday when they defeated Colgate University and St. Bonaventure University. in

KN Leads In IM Football

As the intramural football season reached the halfway point last

•week, Kappa Nu held a slight edge over Kappa Psi for the leagiue leadership. While Kappa Nu was idle last week,' a spirited Lambda Chi team under the direction of Roger Shields, tied Kappa Psi to knock them from the ranks of the undefeated and untied. As it was, only an excellent catch 'by Eric Klewe late in the game, prevented Lambda Ohi from claiming victory.

Klan Alpine defeated a determin- ed Bartlett team 8-6, as Stenzler scored late in the game on an intercepted pass.

Delta Sig, led by Bush' and Kar- nish, dropped Tau Delt 14-2 in a hard fought contest.

Thus going into the second half of the season, the standings are as follows:

W L T Kappa Nu 2 0 0 Kappa Psi 2 0 1 Klan 2 1 0 Delta Sig 2 1 0 Lambda Chi 0 1 1 Bartlett 0 2 0 Tau Delt 0 3 0

However with the first four teams bunched so closely, victory can be assured to no one.

In intramural bowling last week, Kappa Psi moved into undisputed first place by winning 3 of 4 points while Kappa Nu, with whom they had formerly been tied, took a 4 point shellacking.

by FIAT LUX Staff Member a triangular meet on their home course. In winning, the Saxons scored 24 points while Colgate, with 31 points and St. Bonaventure with 84 points were second and third respectively.

Alfred's Frank Pinnerty finished first as he covered the 14.4 mile course with a record breaking 24 minute 25.1 second run. The old mark was 21 minutes 41 seconds, Pinnerty moved out in front at the c^ack of the starting gim and was never seriously challenged.

He finished a couple of hundred yards in front of his teammate CaTl Blanchard. Completing the scoring for Alfred were Larry Eat- on, who finished 6th, Warren Sut- ton, who finished 7th, and Larry Bird, who finished 8th.

It looked for a while the

boys were going to prove the pro- phecy of Coach Milton Tuttle to be accurate. Before, the meet ho said "It's going to be a real close one." Until the' half way mark the only Alfred runner among the leaders was Pinnerty, but with Pinnerty leading the way the other Saxons surged ahead towards the end of the race and <came home with a victory.

Earlier, the Alfred Freshmen defeated the St. Bonaventure freshmen 23 to 34. John Birdwell covered the 2.8 mile freshman course in 16 minutes 7 seconds. Dave O'Dell, Campbell, Les Kurian, and Jim Eabinowitz finished 3rd, 5th, 6th and 8th respectively to give the Saxon Harriers the victory.

Next Saturday the Alfred Univer- sity Varsity will rtin in the Canis- ius Invitational at Buffalo.

The Sports Corner

we are now buried deep in the bowels of another football season. Being on a typical American college campus, we have the privilege of enjoying not only good old fashioned inter- collegite football, but also a new fashioned type of intramural football, jokingly referred to as touch football. A more appro- priate name might be crunch football, with the emphasis on the "crunch."

Every Saturday during the Crunch football seaosn, the cam- pus sadists hold their weekly fun festival down on Terra-Cotta field; most of the humor being provided by two fraternities do- ing gory battle over a dead pig. At least once a weekend Count Sades diciples are treated to the ver so happy prospect of watching some unfortunate fraternal warrior totter off the battleground with assorted injuries (major and minor.)

It is obviousl yworth the few broken fingers, or what have you, to move the much abused pigskin across the nasty old, op- ponents goal line. "Why, if you break enough bones, you may even win the intramural trophy. After all, broken bones heal;

eventually.

Now while humor can highlight a problem, it can do little to solve it. The problem associated with touch football seems almost too obvious, and yet the answer to it is most obscure.

In fact, if there is one cure-all answer, this writer fails to see it.

Stating it bluntly, touch football is rough, too rough. "We have a situation where young men who are not athletics and most definitely not in training, meet on Saturday and clam into each other for 45 minutes or an hour. It is a game that is every bit as rough, and far more dangerous to unconditioned and un- protected bodies than godo old fashioned intercollegiate foot-

Gridders Fumble Homecoming Contest to Hobart; Loses 13-8

An attack of the fumbles hit Coach Yunevich's Warriors last Saturday and was the main Teason for the 13-8 Homecoming loss to Hobart's Statesmen at Merrill Field. The jittery Saxons fumbled the elusive pigskin 11 times, and two of the fumbles were converted into Hobart touchdowns.

- The game got off to a distasteful start for the standing room only crowd, when the Saxons fumbled the opening kickoff, and were fortu- nate to recover the ball on their own 2 yard line. On« play later they fumbled again on the 3, and this time Hobart recovered. With only 2 minutes gone in the game, Joe Yelas drove over for the score on a quarterback sneak, and Don Dahowski, Hobart's captain, booted the extra point. The Statesmen were off to an easy 7-0 lead.

Alfred, however, with Clyde Juer- gens operating the T, charged right back after the ensuing kickoff to score what proved to be their only touchdown of the long afternoon.

Dick DeMott took the kickoff on the Alfred 20 yard dine and chug- ged upfield to the 48 before he was brought down. Juergens knifed over his right guard, on a keeper, for 10 yards and a first down. It took the Saxons four plays to move the ball 10 yards with Juergens again picking up the first down on a keeper. Fullback Jimmy Ryan set lip the touchdown as he sliced in side the right end, and sped down the sideline from the 25 to the 1 yard line.

Juergens, again on the keeper, drove over on the first play from

by Jay Henis—Fiat Lux Sports Editor scrimmage for the first six points, and S t i v e Crossman plowed through tackle for the two point conversion. With only 6 minutes gone in the game Alfred Jed 8-7.

The play slowed down after that and the rest of the first half was dominated by the play of both lines. Late in the first half the game degenerated into a fumbling contest between the two teams. It started as one particularly alert Saxon Warrior intercepted an er- rent Hobart pass on the Alfred 38.

The Saxons could go nowhere with the ball and punted it to Hobart.

Hobart would have none of it, and fumbled the ball to Alfred on the first play from scrimmage on their own 43. Alfred would have none of it either, and fumbled it right back on the 43. From there Hobart moved to the Saxon 8 yard- line on passes before time ran out, giving the Saxons a temporary reprieve.

Going into the second half, at least, they led 8-7.

Until late in the third quarter, neither team could sustain an of- fensive drive. But with 5 minutes to go, Alfred handed Hobart its golden opportunity with a fumble on the AU 20 yard line. From there the Statesmen moved to the 1 yard line! t)n fourth down, Ken North- rup drove off tackle for the winning score.

As after the first Hobart touchdown, the Saxons drove right back after the ensuing kickoff. They drove deep into Hobart territory, with Ryan and Crossman eating up the yardage, before they were halt- ed on the Hobart 20.

With six minutes to go in the fourth and final quarter, the Sax- ons made their final bid to pull

the game out of the fire. Ryan and Crossman again provided the im- petus for the drive until they were stopped dead on the Hobart 13.

After that bid, Hobart was abl.e to keep the bail as they ate up the clock with running plays. Alfred finally got the ball on downs with 5 seconds to go in the game, but a desperation ipass failed and Ho- bart left the field victorious.

Outstanding on defense fo'r Al- fred were Bill MoAlee, Tom Oe- chini, and AUen ©took, but for all the fine line play by the Alfred line, the pass defense was practically nonexistent.

Next week the g-ridders will move on to Hartford, where they will attempt to right themselves against a . tough Trinity team. Right now though a casual visitor to the Men's Gym could probably find a sign on Coach Yunevich's door reading, "Wanted — One Bottle of Glue."

Frosh Cagers Selected;

Team Already Practicing

The basketball season must be sneaking up on us unnoticed this fall, for Freshman basketball Coach A1 Siegel has selected his frosh squad for 1958-59.

The squad, picked- by Coaches Smith and Siegel, is for the present as follows;

Mike Benedict, Joe Green, Al Halstead, Bob MacDonald, Bob Mar- shall, Mike Redstone, Howie Sie- gel, Dave. Skolsky, Steve Stein- berg, Paul Trivelpiece, and Terry Williams.

However, there may be some ad-

ditions made to the «lub at the conclusion of the football season.

Practice for both the freshman squad and the varsity started last Thursday night, and both clubs will work until the start of the regular season. The freshman practice from 6-8 p.m., and the varsity practice from 8-10 p.m.

The season will open against Ho- bart on December 3, in the Men's Gym, and will be highlighted by a 3 game swing of the New York City area during the Christmas recess.

The Sports Corner

ball is to well-padded torsos of our good old fashioned inter- collegiate football players.

The most obvious answer, thep, would be to protect the bodies of our scholars turned athlete. Give them equipment and padding and they won't get hurt; or so it woul seem. But there is a hidden danger in that, and the cure might prove worse than the disease.

Give these basically inexperienced players equipment; pad them and^give them confidence that they can't get hurt, and they will throw caution to the winds. The minor injuries might be fewer, but when an injury does occur, it will tend to be more serious. Aspirin is, to be sure, a good thing, but a child given a bottle without proper supervision might swallow it and die as a result.

What, then, can we do? We can, for one thing, insist that all players engaging in touch football wear sneakers instead of shoes. The foting -might be worse, but the kicks would be con- siderbly softer. Being kicked in the head with a sneaker, instead of a shoe, could mean the difference between a headache rather than a fractured skull. We can make sure the officiating is as sharp as possible. And we might remind the players thatt they all go to the same school.
