DRINKING AT GAMES LEAVES BAD TASTE
In two meetings of the Social Workshop, the drinking situ- ation at football games has been discussed at some length by the members. The general concensus is that the situation is a particularly distasteful one. The situation is made especially dis- tasteful because of the thoughtless and inconsiderate conduct
of a few flagrant violators of good taste.
Alfred University does not permit drjpking in any Univer- sity owned or operated building or facility. This regulation clearly includes Merrill Field. It is expected that the student body will recognize this regulation and will cooperate in main- taining a high level of social conduct at football games.
It is the flagrant offender who spoils the game for the people around him. It is the staggering drunk, annoying the cheerleaders, stumbling to thé ground, or in general disgracing himself and Alfred University, that the whole crowd seems to see. We can have an atmosphere at fobtball games of which we can be proud, if the well-behaved students which constitute the great majority of the student body will take it upon themselves to see to it that violations do not occur.

FOOTBALL RALLY
F o r the second y e a r in succession, d r a m a will be featured in the open- i n g F o r u m program of t h e season as t h e Canadian Players bring to t h e Alumni Hall stage their version of Hienrik Ibsen's "Pe^r Gynt,"
T h u r s d a y evening, October 18. Cur- t a i n time has been scheduled for 8:15 p.m.
W r i t t e n in the 1860's and first presented in 1867, "Peer Gynt" is timed in t h e mid-nineteenth century and placed in Norway. Essentially however, t h e play belongs to no period or country in t h a t it belongs to all countriés and all times. I t is a satire on Everyman, who is, as one a u t h o r describes, " t h a t con- tradictory creature w i t h an upright body and groveling soul." T h e play itself represents Ibsen's t r e a t m e n t of t h e theme of individualism, deal- ing with t h e d o w n w a r d journey of t h e h u m a n soul.
The principal figure is " P e e r Gynt," a young Norwegian f a r m e r who has a widespread reputation for laziness and bragging. Long and fanciful, t h e play relates the excur- sions of the imaginative, egoistic, jaunty, boastful hero. Cast as the Canadian Players representative of Peer is B r u n o Gerussi, who h a s been working on his p a r t since he read t h e play eight years ago.
Other central figures in t h e cast a r e Ase, thé mother of Peer; Sol- veig, a Norwegian girl whose com- plete existence centers around young Gynt; t h e Great Boyg, a troll monster and the B u t t o n Moul- der. T h e Great Boyg will be played by George McCowan who also serves as Assistant Director to Douglas
Campbell who is Director of the
Canadian Players. / Costumes tor "Peer Gynt" have
been worked out by designer Mar- t h a Jamieson. Aside f r o m t h e basic rehearsal costume of jeans for the men and dirndle s k i r t s for the wo- men, the costumes have evolved out of t h e inspiration of the moment as t h e play was rehearsed. Small additions or changes to a basic cos- t u m e alter t h e garb ior changes in situations. "Peer Gynt", for in- stance, will acquire a t u r b a n and a dressing robe for his desert scene.
This is t h e first of a series of five' F o r u m programs which have been planned by t h e Alfred Uni- versity F o r u m committee. Students will be admitted on t h e i r F o r u m ticket issued a t registration.
Alfred's football squad will go into t h e Homecoming clash, against Ithaca College on Sat- u r d a y with a resounding send- off as a result of a pre-game pep rally.
Scheduled for Saturday a t 1 p.m. a t the Brick, t h e program will be sponsored by t h e Stu- dent Senate under t h e leader- ship of Jack Scholes.
Highlighting t h e affair will be t h e presentation and Intro-, duction of t h e Saxon footbaK squad and t h e coaches. Athlet-
ic Director McLane will1 also say a f e w w o r d s to t h e gather- ing.

From the Editor
Higher Education . . .
Can it be that this thing known as "higher education" may not be hitting the mark-
If we believe that the only purpose of an education is to equip the student to go out into that big wide world to do nothing but earn a suitable living, then possibly too many nar- row people are finding themselves within this expanse.
A result of this is that every time there's a little shake-up these narrow people just sort of rattle together! The society lacks
the substance to absorb things like new ideas, and a dedication that goes beyond one's own existence.
All right now let's get back to this thing known as "higher education." It should be evident that when one finds himself in college he also finds himself not "one giant step/' but just heading towards this direction, known as "maturity." In this consideration of the mature individual, we might perceive a number of entertaining ideas . . . one possibly being that the individual be able to work harmoniously withihn a group. He might also come, as an extension of this, to regard his fellow man as a spiritual being and come to realize that beyond re- sponsibility of "self" there is another known as society.
The big question seems to be how ddes one instill within someone else such feelings . . the answer could be . . . through education.
Something of Value ? ? ?
Student Outlook
by Dwight Otis
A number of freshmen have reacted negatively toward the proceedings that took place at the Bliie Key blood bath. This incident has caused a mild feeling of discontent amongst the green-beanie wearers.
After speaking with members of both sides we are left to consider two possible alternatives:
Either the freshmen concerned were ill-equipped to face a new.situation, or the members of the Blue Key mishandled the proceedings so badly that the freshmen were perfectly justified in thpir reaction.
If there is a value in maintaining these proceedings! let's keep them . . . if not let's do away with them.

Wagner vs. Javits Is Topic For Political Science Debate
The Political Science Club's de- bate on t h e congressional campaign of Robert Wagner and Jacob Ja- v i t s took place at 8:30 p.m. October 9, in Howell Hall.
R a j a A j l u n i was again moderator a t this meeting and opened t h e de- bate by introducing the panel. The Republicans were represented by Rob Tompkins and W a r r e n Mintz.
The Democratic spokesmen were Maxene Gorewitz and Ann Berg- man.
T h e Republicans began the dis- cussion giving soma of Javits' life history. Javits is a resident of New York Gity and as a youngster worked hard to seek the p r o m i n e n t position he holds today. Mr. Javits was elected to the House of Repre- sentatives in 1946 and since then, has been re-elected t h r e e m o r e times, In the House, h e served With the foreign a f f a i r s committee.
H e was also a n original supporter of t h e Voice of America program.
Mr. Javits is noted for being a suc- cessful vote getter and enthusiastic campaigner. T h i s may be evidenced by his victory over F r a n k l i n Del- ano Roosevelt J r . in 1964. At t h a t time, Mr. Javits was t h e only Re- publican to be elected to a m a j o r office in New York State.
T h e Democrats began t h e i r dis- cussion by telling something about Wagner's life history. Mr. Wagner h a s always been in an atmosphere of politics due to his father's po- sition as a United States Senator.
H e held his first m a j o r political po- sition as a New York Assemblyman.
He was elected to t h i s office in 193?, a short time a f t e r his g r a d u a t i o n
from H a r v a r d . H e was re-ejected in 1989 and 1941.
Both Mr. J a v i t s and Mr. W a g n e r served in t h e Armed Forces with distinction. In 1953, Robert Wag- ner became Mayor of New York City — one of the most important elective offices in the United States.
B o t h . parties testified to t h e fact t h a t t h e candidates have a lot o' respect and admiration for each other. The debators discussed m a n y campaign issues brought out by Wagner and Javits in t h e i r speech- es.
However, there were some basic differences brought out by the de- bators. For one, Mr. Javits and Mr.
Wagner disagree on f a r m policy.
The former stands for flexible price supports, thé latter for 90%
parity. Another issue arises out of qualifications for t h e office of Uni- ted States Senator. Mr. Javits ha?
declared t h a t Mayor Wagner is un fit as he is an "apprentice" in m a n ; fields, especially in ' t h a t of for- eign affairs. T h e Mayor h a s coun- tered this attack by upholding the importance and prestige of his po- sition.
Both the Republicans and the Democrats acknowledged the fact t h a t either candidate would prob- ably give full support to the ad- ministration, Republican or Demo- crat. Both men h a v e never lost any political campaign. They are basic- ally individualistic and, in general, active a n d honest citizens.
Tonight will be Democratic Night at the Political Science Club. The meeting will t a k e place at 8:30 p.
m. in room 2, K a n a k a d e a Hall.
Ceramic Meetings
Meetings involving Ceramic Col- lege personnel seem to be a con- tinuous source of news. T h e Alfred campus will be the scene of two Buch meetings in t h e near f u t u r e . Tomorrow, visitors from Cuba, New York will be on t h e campus t o discuss t h e possibility of establish- ing a ceramic i n d u s t r y in this area.
The a n n u a l meeting of the Ce- ramic Association of New York will be held in Binns-Merrill Hall Oc- tober 20. Many members of the ce- ramic I n d u s t r y in New York s t a t e a r e expected to be in atendance.
The meeting will be presided over by Mr. Vincent Young, of the Bausch and Lomb Company of Ro- chester.
The past week's activities of the faculty members of the Ceramic Col- lege were highlighted by meetings held both on and off campus.
Yesterday, a representative of the Owens-Illinois Fiber Glass Company visited t h e campus to discuss t h e use of glass fiber in ceramic pro- ducts.
E a r l i e r in t h e week, professors Simpson and Green attended a meet- ing of the Glass Division of the American Ceramic Society held in Bedford Springs, Pa.
R e p r e s e n t i n g the University at a section meeting of the American Society for E n g i n e e r i n g Education in Schnectady were professors Campbell, Voss and Burdick.
Dean McMahon, dean of t h e Ce- ramic School, is presently a t t e n d i n g a meeting of the heads of t h e State University of New York at the Me- dical Center in Brooklyn.

"Don't Be Gruel," Says Critic;
Lend an Ear to this Tune
By Blues-Swayed Hound Dog If you promise to keep off my blue suede shoes, I'll make a secret confession. I've got some complaints concerning rock and roll, a n d the whole business t h a t is going along w i t h it. As a m a t t e r of fact, I've been y e a r n i n g for a long time to let these bits of wisdom out into the open.
Bqb Harrison, publisher of Con- fidential, w a s only shot in the a r m ; maybe I'll be lucky too:
1. Rock and roll is essentially not new! In fact, it follows, for t h e most ' part, t h e progression of chords established by a type of mu- sic considerably older; t h e blues.
Consequently, it is extremely lim- ited. The fast beat does not even allow for colorful vocal expression.
Maybe it's a shortcoming of my ear, but it seems to me t h a t all r & r tunes sound alike.
2. Rock and roll seems to be an- ti-communication. I suppose you might a r g u e tjiat without such songs as "Be-Bop-a-Lula," "Ooby Dooby," and " T u t t i F r u t t i , " Steve Allen would be m i n u s a side-split- t i n g comedy bit. Nevertheless, I'd like to see a r e t u r n to t h e mean- ingful lyrics of such tunes as
" L a u r a , " and " S t a r d u s t . " W h e r e a r e t h e communicative lyricists hid- ing?
3. T h e mere mention of rock and roll or Elvis Presley seems to cause a complete loss of reasoning pow- e r s on t h e p a r t of r & r fans. Teen- age girls r u n away from home, con- certs t u r n into m a s s riots, and the lives of columnists are threatened (by individuals who never spell their idol's n a m e correctly)'.
4. I'm sick and tired of the argu- m e n t t h a t says, "Elvis 'Presley is
t h e greatest singer of a l l time. If he isn't, how come everybody buys h i s records? Can f i f t y million Amer-
icans be wrong?"
Well, Alligator, let's look a t things from a different . vantage point. It's a bandwagon-conscious public, and most persons feel a compulsion to climb aboard every time. F i f t y million Americans, can be easily misled. It can also be stated t h a t f i f t y million Americans have shallow, undeveloped tastes.
If this modern-day Sir Lancelot satisfies some universal need of the masses, there seems to be no wrong or right about it. As long as Mr. Presley is not worshipped for artistic reasons. .
The responsibility of educating music-minded Americans continues to rests mainly with t h e disc jock- ey. The pitiful thing, to t h i s mind, is the philosophy of t h e m a j o r i t y of present-day platterspinners. They a r e following styles consistently, never setting them.
And don't bother answering.
"Ain't T h a t A Shame?" We've al- ready thought of it.
T h e r e a r e obviously two educa- tions. One. should teach u s how to m a k e a living, and t h e other how to live—James Truslow Adams.
