Appeal Given For Prayer At Invasion Time

The following urgent appeal for spontaneous action upon the part of Americans at^the time of the imminent invasion has been sent to 1200 newspapers in the United States. It has also gone to 750 radio stations and will appear in the Army-Navy Wives Magazine this week.

Its circulation is a voluntary project on the part of Alice A. Bailey and Foster Bailey in the interests of pre- paring the nation for a period1 of common prayer when the invasion begins.

When "The Invasion" comes: what will Americans at home do? What will you and I do? That is the question of the hour. America will do what we do, because we are America. That is the very essence of Democracy. It is the bedrock of all our rights and all our freedom.

When the Invasion comes! Shall Americans at home stand idly by?

Shall we be waiting, hoping, fearing, filled with excitement but doing no- thing? God forbid. But what can we do?

We all know that this is the hour of the death blow to The Forces of Evil which have been let loos© these four and a half years upon Humanity, rav- aging, scourging and debauching all mankind. Let this blow be swift and sure.

When the invasion comes! Out of the hearts of the men and women of goodwill, all over ttie Nation, will come a great spontaneous prayer. Let the souls of mea awaken to the light and may they stand with massed in- tent. The Forces of Light and the power of the Will-to-good shall bring the salvation of the people.

We who see and' know the tremen- dous issue now upon us will rise up, with heads high and with courage in our hearts and will offer our lives also to our God. This we shall do so that our boys shall not this time die in vain. We shall pray to God Who is the Father of all men, that He wfll re- ceive our pledge and speed the victory which is sure. We dedicate our- selves to the cause of creating a new and better world out of the ashes of the old. God reigns. His will shall be done. But we must do our part.

On that day when the news breaks that the invasion is on, let all men and women everywhere throughout the Nation, pray to God—each in his place and in his own way—that which he finds within his own heart. So may we bear witness what sort of people we are.

Redskins Team Offers Robert Meyer Contract

Robert Meyer '44, has recently been offered a contract to play football for the Washington Redskins, professional football champions of the Eastern Di- vision of the National League. Al- though Meyer played fullback for Al- fred University, Dud DeGroot, coach for the Redskins is planning to use him as a quarterback in the T-Farma- tion offense which he is developing for next season.

If he signs the contract, Meyer will join four other quarterbacks on July 1st for a month's drill in plays. On August 1st these five men will be join ed by the entire squad in San Diego, California, for pre-season practice. On August 27 the team will open a series of exhibition games on the Pacific coast before "moving east where it will play three practice games before the National League season opens in New York on Sept. 24.

Meyer first played football for Can- isteo Central School where he was captain and county scoring champion for three years. When he came to Alfred, he was captain and left halfback for the Freshman team of 1940 and in his Sophomore year played fullback for the Varsity. In. that year, the last which Alfred played football, he was chosen reserve fullback on the All Western New York Intercollegiate Football Team.

Whether or not he accepts the contract will be determined by Meyer's success or failure in making arrangements whereby he can combine football playing with graduate study for the ministry.

Learn The Facts

There is a lot of talk around campus lately to the effect that1

Alfred might not reopen next fall. We hear discussions on the topic everywhere—in bull sessions, in the Collegiate and in the street.

Everyone is talking about it but does everyone actually know the facts about it?

We realize that since our country is at war, conditions here on campus are, and will continue to be different. We are aware that the number of students attending Alfred this fall will probably be far less than that in previous years. We are aware that the athletic program, cut down first because, of transportation difficulties and later because of a definite lack of men, is practically nil. We are aware that indifference on the part of many students has made it impossible to continue certain extracirricular activities. But these things do not mean that Alfred will close. These factors do not exist in Alfred University alone. They are prevalent in colleges all over the country. Our catalog shows that some professors are on leave of absence. But take a look at other college catalogs. You will find members of their faculty also on leave for the duration. And even if there might be no military unit here next fall, it doesn't mean that Alfred won't open, that Alfred will close for the duration. Alfred survived the crisis of the last war and with its spirit to carry it through, it will survive this one. '

In this country a man is judged innocent until proven guilty.

Why not use the same logic in regard to Alfred ? This University will open next fall. It will not close unless we are notified by the proper authority in the near future.

America

What is America? This is a question very difficult, if not impossible, to answer, because America is so much and so changing from day to day. America is a giant kaleidoscope presenting various pictures at various times. The main factors in America's kaleidoscope are people, ideas and things. The diversified picture that each one of us has of America depends upon what types of people, ideas and things we place in our kaleidascope and the manner with which we view the colorful pattern that is formed.

The most concrete, although not the most important, factors in the American picture are things. It is amazing that so many widely separated and vastly different places and objects can be fused into one immense country—America. America the land of tall pine trees, dark and somber,.sowing a soft blanket of brown pine needles layer by layer year after year; of cold dark stairways in filthy tenements littered with oud newspapers and an occasional broken ale bottle;

of churches of all sizes and types—ivy-covered, red-brick churches in the country; massive but stately temples in the cities; and small, white chapels on cool green hilltops; and of the myriad library shelves filled with well-thumbed books.

All these inanimate objects are so much a part of America come to life and have meaning simply because of people. Without people these things would be mere lumps of clay by the river banks of a great continent, or masses of metal far beneath the surface of the earth. No other country has such a variety of nationalities, colors, and religions in its people. It is from the different classes, professions and characteristics of the American people that America derives its charm—the stout, self-satisfied society dowager lackadaisically peering through her lorgnette; the little Italian newspaper boy yelling

"Read all about it," on Chicago's loop; the capable house wife in a stiffly starched apron rolling out mollasses cookies on a Saturday morning; and the kindly country doctor making his rounds and re- lieving pain. All these people and many others, make America what it is today.

But how can so many people, living such widely separated lives be classed together as the inhabitants of one country? There must be some strong amalgamating factor. Ideas—thoughts, feelings, and ideals, are the binding cords.

In America we find scores of ideas on honesty, right and wrong, religion, race, philosophy, and government; but nevertheless all real Americans agree on the big fundamental ideals, purposes and principles of America. As long as the majority of the American people are keeping in mind the fundamental American idea of equality, Amer- ica will continue to be a great united country.

Another idea, inseparable from the American people is the desire

Your Deal"

In years gone by, it has spread like wildfire all over the state, the country, the continent—the world, but up until this year, Alfred has been able to escape this dread disease. Once you get a little infection, the bug starts to grow and then you're doomed;

there's no escaping it; it consumes youre whole body and mind. No doctor can save you from it; no pill can relieve its pain. Surely you must know the disease to which I refer—the fearful bridge fever.

Just take a look around the campus and see how many poor unfortunates have been bitten by the bug. It plays no favorites—both student and teach- er have felt its sting. Go into the Col- legiate and what do you see on the tables in front of the patrons? Not the familiar coke, but usually the hand of the dummy in some bridge game.

Life long friends have come to the parting of the ways just because of a trumped ace or a no trump bid. People who have long been regarded as abso- lutely normal now fly into a rage at the slightest provacation during the course of a bridge game. Only pity is to be felt for these poor unfortunates who have contracted this incurable disease.

At this point, let me offer a bit of advice. If you're not a very good bridge player, don't offer to be any- body's partner. In this day and age you're apt to come into contact with people who have peculiar ideas that bridge ought to be played according to the rules and one wrong move of yours might bring you a new enemy.

We have reached the point where in order to be popular on this campus, you don't have to have a sparkling per- sonality, you don't have to be a good dancer, you don't even have to be intelligent, you merely have to know how to play bridge.

Could it be that the manpower short- age has caused this calamity? Never before have you seen lights pouring forth from- the sorority houses on Sat- urday nights, and upon peering in dis- covered the girls listening to "The Hit l'arade" and wrangling over a

"friendly" game of bridge. Do you sup- pose the lack of dates could have anything to do with this, situation? Do you think that maybe the disease will be abated when normal conditions re- turn once more to the campus.

The symptoms of the disease are very easy to distinguish. The victim gets very restless when not holding cards in his hand, his appetite dis- appears (he wants to rush through his meal so he can get back to his game), he loses interest in his studies, his exams come back with the letter F appearing on the top of them and he tries to convert everyone to his way of thinking. The really awful part about it is that you can't convince the victim that he is sick. He is firmly convinced that he is perfectly normal and that you are the one who should undergo an examination. Stick to your guns, though, or you'll be fighting a losing battle.

If you see these symptoms appearing in your roommate, take my advice.

Pack your things and move out at once. The disease is too contagious for you to take any chances. Let's have one sane person on this campus—you.

for growth—in position, in knowledge, in wealth, in happiness, and in goodness. This desire for growth has always been an idea which has aroused the tireless energy and ambition of the people, causing them to invent new machines, start new industries, push on to new fron- tiers and conquer new worlds.

America is composed of things which take form and have meaning because of the people who build them, make them, plant them, and love them. In the final analysis the most important part of America is the ideals of its peqple—the ideals for which our boys—the soldiers sailors and marines all over the world—are working and fighting so that some time, in the very near future, we the American people may be able to rebuild our America, making it the land of opportunity and equality that it should be and filling it with fine, well-run schools and small but happy, high-idealed homes.

One View

By Alvin Glaser

In this column last week, I stated that the masses—the liberals, labor- ites, farmers, and other smaller groups;

—must join hands and work together if they are to attain their objectives.

In general these objectives are peace, security, happiness, freedom, and at least the maintenance of a health-and

•decency standard of living for all.

Last week there might have been some doubt as to who the leader of the masses should be. Some said that the New Deal liberal and pro-labor administration under President Roose- velt should continue in office. The other group said that Wilkie should head the government and bring new blood into the administration. The choice was made for the people last week in Wisconsin. The conservative and big business interests combined and gave their almost total support to Dewey.

With Wilkie passing from the picture the choice is clear and the people must not shirk from their duty and obligation. The Republicans have chosen to stand behind an isolationist, small-time, petty politician. The Old Guard, i.e. the conservatives, reactionaries, and big businessmen, have decided that the prewar days of isolation, of scarcity of commodities and services for the many, and of vested interests Is better than world coopera^

tion and abundance for all. For these reasons Dewey has. been chosen as their standard-bearer.

Dewey has shown himself to be an admirable candidate for this group.

He stands for the type of isolation advocated by Col. McCormick and the America-Firster, Gerald L. K. Smith.

He stands for race inequality as can be seen by his disowning the two bills that his own hand-picked committee proposed for fair employment prac- tices in regards whites and negroes.

And he stands for the interests of the vested few through his desire to disi- franchise ten million voters which is readily seen by his opposition to a federal ballot for the soldiers.

This is the picture of the candidate that the conservatives', reactionaries, and big businessmen are asking the people to elect to lead the country for the next four years. These four years will probably be the most significant in the history of not only the United States, but also the world, and the masses cannot afford to place their trust in such a man.

Thank the two party system for giving the people a choice and it ia up to the people to choose wisely. The qualities of Roosevelt and the ideala for which he strives are already well known. He is a friend' of the common man, as can be seen by his continual striving to better the standards of the people through social welfare meas- ures, through his- attempts to thwart monopoly by the vested few,, and through his pro-labor policy. He is an internationalist who has been and is continually striving to bring about world peace through world cooperation. He is the direct antithesis of Dewey as he is not a tool for the vested few and an isolationist who wanta to once more stick his head into the sand while the rest of his body is showing.

The choice is clear, as will be the outcome. The election of Dewey will bring back isolation, scarcity of goods and services, rule by the vested few and poverty for the masses. Just the epposite will be attained if Roosevelt is reelected. The masses have but one choice if they are really desirous of gaining anything from this war. Only a united front will bring about Pres- ident Roosevelt's reelection and there- fore it is of the utmost importance that the various liberal and progressive organizations' join hands immediately, for in the hands of the common man of this country does the fate of the world for the next century lie.

104 Students Attend Fellowship's Careers

Conference Here Sunday

Affair Marked By Assembly, Discussion Groups, Supper And A Talk By Dr. Orton

The Careers Conference sponsored by the ACF last Sunday was a decided success. About 80 students from surrounding towns attended.

Among those high schools represented were Wellsville, Whitesville, Boli- var, Genesee, Pennslyvania, Bath and Hornell. There were also students here from the Belmont, Friendship, Alfred- Almond, Adams Center and Fillmore schools.

After an assembly in Kenyon Mem- orial Hall at 3:00 the students attended discussion groups from 4:00 until 5:30. Agriculture, commerce, creative arts, engineering, law and government service, medicine and allied fields, ministry, nursing, pre-induction education and social work were fields discussed with the students.

Teaching was also presented to them as a possible vocation.

Margaret Lord '44 was the student hostess in commerce while Janet Wright '47 and Margaret Long '45 participated in the creative arts discussion.

Hazel Guthrie '45 counseled those interested in medicine. Robert Meyer '44 was the student assistant for the group attending the discussion of ministry and allied fields.

Mary Louise Teta NC, participated in the nursing discussion and- Dave Powell '47 worked with Orrin Hopkins, leader of the pre-induction division.

Evelyn Grossman '45 participated in the social work division and Elaine Beckstrand '44 worked with those interested in teaching. Alvin Glaser '44 was the student assistant to Robert Fleischer, leader of the section on law and government.

An additional group on the natural sciences was formed. Dr. A. T. Goble, professor of physics, and Dr. Loyd L.

Lowenstein, head of the Mathematics Department, were in charge of this discussion. Virginia Larson '45 was the student hostess.

Other students who helped make the conference a success were Paul Meiss- ner '47, Ada Egbert '46, Corinne Her- rick '47 and Coreene Chapman '45 who served on the reception committee with Yutaka Kobayashi '46 as chairman. Jean Moore '46 and Dorothy Rob- bins '44 were in charge of registration.

A supper was served to those attending the conference after which Margar- et Aylor '42, Mary Lou Jeffrey '44 and Robert Meyer '44 spoke to the students on ".College Outside the Classroom."

At 7:30, for the closing session in Kenyon Hall, Dr. Dwayne Orton, Di- rector of Education of the Interna- tional Business Machine Corporation, Endicott, New York, spoke on "Front- tiers of the Future". The main ideas of liis speech were as follows:

Advances in the technical world have opened a new frontier—human engineering. "The dynamo of man's ingenuity is running away with the dynamo of his God-given humanity.

The two must be in balance or man will be destroyed by his own cre- ations".

Qualitative thinking, in terms of values such as neighborliness, objec- tivity, and social welfare is as important as quantitative thinking No matter what career or job we choose, we are all human engineers who must have the ability to apply these in- tangible values to our work-a-day ex- periences.

In a world shrunk and tied together by technology, men can no longer live apart from each other.

There is a premium on the ability to live in a world neighborhood.

The students who were in charge of this conference were Helen Dreher '45, general chairman; Mary Lou Jef- frey '44, supper chairman; Doris Coutant '45, chairman of publicity;

Ruth Weitz '45, chairman of recrea.

tion; and Yutaka Kobayashi '46, chairman of reception and registration.

Chaplain Genn6 was adviser for the affair.

"Washington—(ACP)—People in Washington are constantly fas- cinated by the vast machinery of government and all its minute operations. They are like pedestrians who stop to watch a construction crew tear down old buildings and erect new ones. They are engrossed in watching the work and in wondering what the next move of the workers will be.

Watching the government in this way, Washington folk arrive at a wisdom about government that cannot be gleaned from textbooks. Their fundamental understanding of the principles of government may not always be sound. Their understanding of its operation is top-notch.

One basic difference between the textbooks and the Washingtonian'9 day-to-day knowledge lies in the type of personnel the government should have. Ideally, and according to many textbooks on government administration, the best system of hiring and maintaining personnel is under Civil Service.

Drake university recently received

$200,000 from the Gardner Cowles foundation to build and equip a science building to be known as Harvey Ingham science hall.

In this system, which is now in force in most agencies, people are hired for government jobs on the basis of ability. That ability is determined by aptitude tests, college records and practical experience in the individual's chosen field.

After he or she is hired, the person becomes a probationary employee for a year. Satisfactory performance of work for this period establishes the individual as a permanent Civil Ser- vice employee. The only exception to this practice is made during wartime, when new employees are hired only for the duration and six months there- after.

Many people in Washington are today saying that Civil Service should be wiped out, that a party spoils sys- tern would bring better government.

If all arguments were weighed, aome truth would have to be granted on each side of the question. The arguments themselves are interesting, how- ever, and deserve some thought.

Here's the argument of the pro- spoils system people. They say that,

Jacox Food Mart

Main Street, Alfred

first of all, successful administration of government programs depends upon the loyalty of employees in the program and a common program-idea in employees' minds.

The New Deal agencies have had this fact brought home to them. Many an agency with a progressive program found that Civil Service had wished on it a lot of people who were in fundamental disagreement with what it was trying to do. Some Republican employees who hated the New Deal worked in New Deal Agencies. Some of them fought the agency from within its New Deal walls.

To understand this situation, take a hypothetical case. Take Mr. Brown, an assistant research specialist (about

$2600 a year) who works in Agency A.

He hates the agency's program. He did not before the New Deal came along.

Being a permanent Civil Service employee, he remained with the agency through all its changes. He now finds himself in a liberal program which is not to his liking.

Often the Mr. Browns in this position do not choose to move into other jobs. Instead they stay put, make friends on the outside, and use all the

SPORTS BULLETIN

By Renee Suchora

Sophomores had better beware! The

"greenies" softball team is determined to humble the mighty upperclassmen in the Moving-Up Day softball game between the sophomores and freshmen.

The Frosh team captained by Eva Rodies and starring Gig Wright, Edith Foster, Bobbie Wells and Jewell Kar- pel will prove a good match for the sophomore team whose captain is Cor e'ene Chapman.

Not to be outdone by the lowerclass- men the upperclassmen are challeng- ing the winning team to a game with them. Ruth Weitz, Peg Hopkins and Peg Long, backed by their baseball experience and skill will make the game quite an interesting exhibition.

Gather around all of you tennis enthusiasts. The Tennis Tournament has been postponed to Thursday and will continue through Friday and end on Saturday. Those who want to par- ticipate in the tournament will have ample time to practice for the big event.

Congratulations to Dorothy Shaver NC who is now the proud holder of the February and April Table Tennis monthly championship. She has many tricks up her sleeve that the other monthly champs will need her nursing care by the time the spring Table Tennis Play-offs are over.

"Practice makes perfect," so heed the warning, those of you who intend to take part in the National Intercol legiate Telegraphic Tournament and give those bows and arrows some exercise. With your ability in archery A.U.

should head the winners this year.

Attends ACS Meeting At Buffalo

Several members of the staff of the Ceramic College attended the organization meeting of the Upper New York State Branch of the American Ceramic Society at Buffalo on March 24. The new group elected officers and received its charter from the parent society.

A "triangle" was solved when Joseph Licata, five, decided to give his dog, Butch, to air cadets at the Univer- sity of Buffalo. Butch became infatu- ated with the cadets months ago and has been dogging their footsteps. Now Butch is theirs.

U. S. Bureau To Train Students In Meteorology

The United States Weather Bureau is offering full tuition scholarships for professional training in meteorology to a select number of properly qualified men and young women.

These scholarships are for the advanced meteorological classes which will be offered at (1) New York Uni- versity, University Heights, New York, beginning May 8, 1944, and also on July 7. 1944; (2) University of Chi- cago, Chicago, Illinois, starting May 8, 1944; and (3) Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridgs, Massachu- setts, opening July 3, 1944.

Qualified young women are especially encouraged to apply; men with.

4-F classifications or medical dis- charges are also needed. Applicants.

(1) must be United States citizens, (2) must be preferably between 18 and 30 years of age, (3) must be able to pass a Civil Service physical examination, (4) must have completed at least two years of college, and (5) must hold credit for one year of differential and integral calculus and one year of college physics.

In addition to the courses mentioned above refresher courses in mathemat ica and physics will be given during April, 1944 at both New York Univer- sity and the University of. Chicago which successful applicants may enter according to the extent of their preparation for the advanced classes.

The thirty-five weeks training program affords an opportunity for those interested in work of a scientific and public service character to qualify themselves for vital participation in America's war effort. A reliable national weather service is not only essen- tial to the safety of flying, both military and commercial; it benefits many and varied elements of our wartime economy such as transportation, agriculture, industry, and communication.

It is particularly hoped that capable young women will avail themselves of this means of rendering an important contribution to the national need.

All tuition fees for the course are paid by the Government. Accepted students are required' to finance travel expenses to the university of their choice, living expenses (including text-books) while at the university, and the cost of traveling to their place of employment. Applicants must agree to accept positions1 in the Weath- er Bureau upon successful completion of the training course, at annual sal- aries ranging from $2800 to 12000, plus 20 per cent overtime pay, depend- ing on existing vacancies and on their degree of aptitude for meteorology.

They must also be willing to accept employment anywhere in< the United States.

To apply, write to the Head of the Meteorology Department of the university of your choice, and include a statement of your qualifications in the light of the requirements listed above, together with a transcript of your college credits.

Capital To Campus

(Continued from page three) information at their disposal to under- cut the agency's program.

Some of them choose powerful friends on the outside—men who share their dislike or hatred for Agency A.

The powerful friends support the Mr.

Browns, help to get them pushed up into important positions in the agency.

The end result has often been that the Browns get control of many important jobs. With their coming to power, the agency's program changes and takes on the hue of the Browns' ideas, clerks.

Forty-eight hours of machine shop work were included in an economics seminar on production problems at Mount Holyoke college.

Ceramic Guild Now Showing Two Exhibits

Two exhibits of art are now being shown by the Ceramic Guild. A collection of Chinese paintings, some dat- ing back as far as the Sung Dynasty, has been loaned by the Department of Fine Arts of the University of Pitts*

burgh. This collection is in Miss Nel- son's studio and will be here until Thursday.

The other exhibit is entitled "Work of the Bauhaus," and shows some of the work done there and an explana- tion of its methods of teaching.

Until the advent of Hitler's regime, the Bauhaur, which was located in Dessau, Germany, was the pioneer school of art instruction in the world, and was responsible for influencing many of the styles of modern archi- tecture and industrial mass-produced goods in every material. Most of the former teachers in this school are now scattered among art schools in this country.

This exhibit illustrates methods by which this superior instruction was accomplished, and outlines the philosophy of the school.

This display Is in the Ceramic Lounge, and is the last in a series of exhibits loaned by the Museum of Modern Art, in New York City.

Northwestern University, ^housed in a single wooden building when it was founded 93 years ago, now boasts 91 buildings.

Ceramic School Research Staff Is Expanded

Two persons have recently been add ed to the staff of the Research Station of the Ceramic School.

Beginning April 8, William Crandall has devoted full time to the survey of clay and' shale resources of New York State. This research is being carried out in cooperation with the State Geo- logical Survey, the State Department of Commerce, and the State Depart- ment of Education.

The work is made possible by a special appropriation of the State, and will last at least two years. The purpose of the survey is to develop information which will be of use to ceramic industries in New York State.

Miss Rita Farnham began full time work in the Station on March 22, re- placing Elmer Fitzsimmons '44, who is in service. Miss Farnham graduated in June, 1943, from the Ceramic De- sign Department, and has since been employed at Greenwich House in New York City.

Former Alfred Man Receives Honors In Navy

Ensign Seldon Bently Bemus, USNR, has recently been promot- ed to the rank of lieutenant (jg) in the Navy. Lt. Bemus was a student at the Jamestown Extension of Alfred University for two years and graduated from Alfred in 1942.
