ALFRED FOR HUGHES Straw Ballot Gives Republican
Candidate Big Majority It is said that "straws show which way the wind blows" there- fore Hughes is our next President as this is the verdict of a straw ballot taken of the whole school.
The excitement engendered by the national election pervaded the University last Wednesday and Thursday in a very concrete form, when, through the efforts of the College Republican and Demo- cratic Clubs, a straw vote was taken.
The College witnessed a most vivid imitation of ar real election, before and after Assembly hour, Wednesday. The zeal of the Wil- sonians had lead them to place several large placards upon the platform and pulpit, of which, the following are samples: "The Triple Alliance — Hughes, The Kaiser and the Devil"-—"Ger- many is for Hughes, England is for Hughes, America is for Wilson—
are you an American?" Enthu- siastic supporters of the candi- dates lead all, who would join, in lusty cheers. A ballot was given each student with the names of the four candidates on its face and these were dropped in a box on the porch of Burdick Hall as the voters went by to the Post Office.
Kenyon '17, Nash '18, Bliss '17, and E. Saunders '17, acted as in- spectors and hindered any at- tempts at illegality.
When the box was opened the anxious minds were much relieved to have so weighty a problem set- tled for the benefit of the whole country.
Following the college's lead the Agricultural School took a vote on the following day and the results of the two elections were:

SILVER LAKE MILITARY ACADEMY SHOWS VAR-
SITY UP
Alfred Wins 20-0, In Poorly Played Game
Silver Lake Military Academy lined up against the crippled Vars- ity, Friday afternoon and gave the bunch of substitutes and regu- lar men a genuine show-up. The cadets played a wonderful game, but the exhibition of the Alfred men was miserable. The idea that the contest was a practice game seemed to pervade the men and they wouldn't get any en- thusiasm into their playing. The Coach pulled several of the regu- lar men who showed themselves to be ready for the sanitarium, and sent in second string men, to whom any chance at all to play was more than welcome.
The score of 20 to 0 is nothing to be proud of, for although the Military team was as heavy as the Alfred men, they were lacking in experience. The Varsity was much slowed up by the use of new signals with which they were un- familiar.
The first quarter was a rare exhibition of rag doll ball. The

DR. C. F. RANDOLPH '88, LEC- TURES ON "POE"
Dr. Corliss F. Randolph of New- ark, N. J., the prime mover of the Alumni Lecture Course, gave a most auspicious start to this year's series with his paper on
"Edgar Allan Poe," Monday. Due to the political rally at night, the address was given in the after- noon at 4:00.
In brief:
f Edgar Allan 'Poe, the most mysterious of literary men, born in Boston in 1809, was given an excellent education by his well-to- d|o foster father, Mr. Allan of Richmond. Due to excesses at the University of Virginia and West Point, a rupture occurred between him and his benefactor and he was left to his pen for support. A fitful life followed until his death in 1849, he and his family often being in dire want.
Poetry was a passion with him, and his literary criticisms and tales show a mastery of imagina- tion, mathematical reasoning )which was marvelous. Of his poems 'To Helen' and 'The Raven' are considered the best."
Dr. Randolph's insight1 made the lecture one of exceptional value to all.
ETA PHI GAMMA HOUSE BURNED
Partial Destruction on Thursday Afternoon — Members Move
in Next Door But One, to Senior Girls
The house occupied by the Eta Phi Gamma fraternity, on South Main street was partially destroy- ed by fire last Thursday afternoon at about 2:30.
" I t never rains but it pours"
might very inappropriately be ap- plied to the occurrences of the day.
The whole town was called out at 6:30 by a fire at the home of Mrs.
Mae Kenyon on North Main St., and the firemen having succeeded in conquering the flames, uncoupl- ed the hose and put it out to dry.
When the bell rang at 2:30, people couldn't believe a second fire pos- sible and thought it a joke until the clouds of smoke were seen roll- ing forth from the roof of the Eta Phi house and the hose was need- ed immediately.
There had been no one in the building a half hour previous to the discovery of the blaze, the ma- tron having gone through the house to inspect the fires before she went out. The conflagration was first discovered from a side street, as the blaze seemed to have started in a box of waste papers that had been cleaned out and

HALLOWE'EN PARTY AT BARNS
Rain Did Not Hinder The Festivities
The Country Life Hallowe'en party at the State Barns, Tues- day evening, welcomed its guests in a downpour of rain. In spite of this fact an exceptionally large number was present.
Much time was spent on the decorating and it well spoke for hself. The Grand March was led by Prof, and Mrs. Pontius, after which many interesting games were played. Prizes were awarded, Bruce Emerson and Charles Edwards being the worthy recipients. Sweet cider and doughnuts were present in abundance for a short time, while several people were kept busy' popping corn to supply the great demand.
The guests departed from the party as they had come, in the rain, but with a most enjoyable evening behind them.

HOBART COMING FRIDAY Chance To Avenge Old Scores—
Speedy Team Reported Bring on Hobart! Alfred, in spite of many adverse circum- stances will be ready for her old rival on Friday afternoon. "With Brainard out of the game and King in poor condition, the team will be handicapped but after the waking-up they suffered last Fri- day, they can be depended upon for a reputable game which will mean a victory.
Although Hobart went through last year's season undefeated and gave Alfred a 7 to 13 defeat, she is not playing as good ball as she did in that season. So far this season Hobart has won but one game, although the Fiat has not been able to find out the score of the game Oct. 28 with St. Michaels College. Her record:
Oct. 14, Hobart 13—Hamilton 7.
Oct. 21, Hobart 0—St. Lawrence 12.
Oct. 28, Hobart —St. Michaels Nov. 4, Hobart 0—Eochester 18.
The only dope that can be ob- tained from this is by comparison with Rochester, although, un- doubtedly Rochester is playing a different game from that which she played against Alfred, it must be recognized that Alfred has im- proved much, besides, and her new men have become veterans.
The probable line up:
Hobart Alfred L. E.
Broderick Lobaugh L. T.
Mapes, Myler Decker L. G.
Thornton Greene C
Hubbs Boyd, McConnell R. G.
Peffer Bliss R. T.
Gracey MacClelland, Day R. E.
Rogers Grady Q. B.
Campbell, G. King, Crawford R. H. B.
Campbell, F. Galloway L. H. B.
Carr Williams F. B.
Dinan Witter
Despite the '' dope,'' the Hobart team will bear watching. Fight is the Hobart watchword and she always has a superabundance of it when she lines up against Alfred.

STATE STUDENT VOLUNTEER CONVENTION AT ITHACA
Cornell Entertains December 1, 2 and 3
The local Christian Associations have received announcements for the annual Student Volunteer Convention to be held at Cornell University at Ithaca the week- end, December 1, 2 and 3.
This Convention is for all stu- dents who are interested in the Christian Missionary effort and is the child of the Y. M. and Y. W.
C. A.'s of the colleges of the state.
In 1914 it was held at Hobart College at Geneva, where Alfred had the second largest delegation made up of twenty-five members.
Only twelve Alfred delegates at- tended the 1915 convention at the University of Rochester and it is hoped that a much larger group will see fit to go to Ithaca.
The fare one way is $2.85, but if ten or more attend the expense can be much reduced by a block ticket.
Watch for further announce- ments.

FAIR
The Fiat Fair is coming, the time approaches when the most questionable of the budget items is to be worked out. It may seem at first thought that the people at the head of the Fiat are going to have a lot of fun in raising the money to keep the paper on its four feet and with enough vitality to keep going. But the illusion will not be long retained if one should visit a Board Meeting and listen to the work done and plan- ned.
The Fair will occur on the even- ings of December 6 and 7, and will furnish a fine chance for all to purchase Christmas remembrances and listen to two excellent programs. It is now planned to have a chicken supper at the Parish House on the evening of December 7 and have the whole University attend. The follow- ing committees have been appoint- ed and are hard at work:
Fancy Work—Marian Elliott.
Ice Cream—Robert Sherwood, Mer- edith Maxson.
Candy—Lawrence Burgott.
Fish Pond—Richard Williams.
Overhead—Hubert Bliss.
Flowers—Fritjof Hildebrand.
Program—Hazel Parker.
Although still incomplete, the following program has been an- nounced: Farce by an Ag School caste on one evening; selections by the Glee Club and a ripping en tertainment on the other evening.
SUB-CONSCIOUS MIND OP DIVINE CHARACTER Dr. P. E. Titsworth Gives Second
Lecture to the Y. W.
Dr. Titsworth's lecture before the Y. W. last Sunday night was on "The Sub-conscious Mind."
In this most interesting lecture, Dr. Titsworth showed with char- acteristic clearness the difference between the conscious and the sub- conscious mind.
In conclusion he showed that the sub-conscious mind is present be- fore consciousness and often after power of reason has gone; that this sub-conscious mind is a part of all Divinity, the study of which should give one more respect for himself; his powers and his no- bility of character.
It is hoped none will miss the third of this interesting series
"Men's Undeveloped Powers—•
The Powers of Suggestion,'' which is to be given next Sunday night.
DR. NORWOOD MUCH AP- PRECIATED IN HORNELL An excellent address was given in the First Presbyterian Church house this afternoon by Dr. J. N.
Norwood of Alfred University on The Issues of the Present Presi- dential Campaign."
A large crowd attended the meeting and were thoroughly re- paid for the time spent. The ad- dress was interesting and instruc- tive. Dr. Norwood understands the issues apparently as well as any man in the country and those who neglected to attend missed a fine afternoon's program.
The next lecture will be on
"Can "We Soon Look Forward To World Peace" and will be given Thursday at 4 P. M. * * The Women's Council of City Clubs is to be commended on securing such an able man as Dr. Norwood to give them a series of ten lectures.

BUILDING FROM REAR DURING BLAZE
ETA PHI GAMMA HOUSE BURNED
Continued from page one
placed in a box on the small poreh at the rear of the house, on the second story. When the water was turned onto the building the rear wall was nearly all ablaze and immense clouds of smoke were coming from the roof. With the aid of many hands the twelve members of the fraternity suc- ceeded in saving nearly all their personal belongings, the main losers being the men who occu- pied the rear rooms. The fire- fighters worked bravely and con- quered the blaze before it reached the front part, at all, and- aside from water damage, the destruc- tion is confined to the rear rooms second and third floors and the back side of the main roof.
The appearance of the lawn and those of the neighbors would make the Ghetto blush with shame, as the furniture and effects of the homeless unfortu- nates lay promiscuously about.
It was pathetic to see the men try- ing to separate their own goods from the hopeless mass of rescued odds and ends.
As the firemen were gathering up their ladders and the crowd was dispersing some humorist tacked up on the side of the house two signs saved from the destruc- tive elements, "Be Brief, This Is Our Busy Day," and "We Are Trying to Prevent Accidents And Ask Your Help."
The loss was estimated at about
$1500 and was fully covered by insurance. The fraternity doe not own the building.
Many times enough invitations were immediately offered for the members of the fraternity to come into the homes of the townspeople and the other men's clubs to stay until they could make other arrangements, the Senior Girls in-

It is interesting to note that the women registered only two votes for the prohibitionist candidate and had no inclination at all in favor of the Socialist candidate.

Saturday and. Sunday the men moved into the house on the cor- ner of S. Main and Terrace streets, which was occupied last year by Prof. Montgomery. They intend to remain here, although in a somewhat crowded condition, un- til their old home is repaired which time, it is hoped will be be- fore Christmas.

CERAMIC ENGINEERS TO ORGANIZE
One Moment. Please
Jlub To Take In Underclassmen The Ceramic Engineers met last Monday evening for the purpose of considering the organization of a Ceramic Engineer's Club which will take in all classes and give all a chance to receive the bene- fit of organized discussion of tech- nical problems. This will in no way interfere with the work of the Ceramic Society, which is made up of upperclassmen and Faculty members only. It is an effort of the underclasses to get acquainted with the Ceramic problems arid talk them over among themselves before they be- come Juniors and eligible to the Ceramic Society. Only a few oi the upperclassmen are engineers because the engineering course was not introduced until three years ago when several third year students switched to it, so it i:
obvious that the Ceramic Society is made up mostly of the students taking the old technical course while most of the engineers are without any such society and bar red from the benefits to be de rived from such.'
The organization will be per fected at a meeting on Thursdaj evening following the mass meet ing.
It is now hoped that a Cerami Fraternity may even be formed and affiliations made with som national body.

CHEER MEET FOR HOBART GAME
Bring Song Books, Copy of New Song, Thursday, 7:30, Ag
Hall
A long ray yell for the team!
That and a lot more will be called for at the Mass Meeting to be held Thursday evening at Agricultural Hall at 7:30.
• Hobart is an old enemy and Al- fred wants not only to win from her, but also to make one game wipe out several defeats. The men are going to live up to this platform but a good start toward the student's support of the idea will be, to come out and practice up on the yells and the songs, es- pecially the new song printed last week in these columns. Bliss has prepared a snappy list of speakers who will give snappy talks and in between you are supposed to give a lot of snappy cheers.
Remember "dope" often fails and Hobart always fights to the last breath. It is the Alfredite's duty to begin his fight for victory, Thursday evening at 7:30. Bring your song books, a copy of the new song and your voices.

HALLOWE'EN PARTY AT BRICK
Sigma Alpha Gamma Give Men A Royal Time
Not a witch, not a goblin; no' a cat, not a bat, dared move on Hallowe'en. It wasn't because
"Gum Shoe" had a full force of deputies on the street but because the rain kept them all in. It was well they didn't come out, for the Sigma Alpha Gamma women were entertaining the college men for the first time, in their new rooms.
The women proved themselves to be royal entertainers and nearly every man availed himself of this opportunity to see the new rooms and take part in the jolly time.
After bumping through door- ways hung with "brakemen's ropes" with apples at their ends, the men found partners for a Hal- lowe'en entertainment, Miss Weed giving a reading with a semi-pan- tomine background of an "auld Scottish home'' in which the mem- bers of the household came for- ward with musical and literary selections.
Object as they might, the couples were given a penny and sent on a walk, with the "copper"
as a guide. It was queer how the guides would come up tails when tails was wanted and heads when heads would lead into a cozy re- treat. But woe to those consci- entious ones who let their "cop- pers" take them out into the rain.
On their return, the men were divided into groups and sent by written directions on a zig zag path all over the campus, in the downpour, in search of a fair part- ner who, meanwhile, stood in some sheltered spot within a step of the Brick, very much amused at the trouble the men were in.
When; the wanderers had re- turned, many jolly games were played, until, for fear of a raid, the eider keg was tapped and the pumpkin pie, chestnuts and apples were served.
The whole assemblage then went to dancing—that is, just the Virginia Reel and Tucker-Wants- a-Wife, until the fatal hour was struck.
The men all join in thanking the women for the pleasant time they enjoyed and can't help from breathing something like a whis-
CHRISTIAN CITIZEN OWE SERVICE TO COMMUNITY Pres. Davis Impresses Y. M. Wit]
Civic Responsibilities At the Sunday evening meeting President Davis led a most inter esting discussion on "Christiar Citizenship,"
The topic was quite appropriate to the season and very instructive to the men. He, in brief, said that from a resident of a city, a citizen had become a member oJ a state or a nation. Laws are the crystallization of public opinion The citizen is responsible, there- fore, for the laws as ij depends upon him as to whom the law makers are and what these men feel that their district wants. His responsibility also extends to the judicial officers.
A citizen should be broad enough to see both sides of all subjects.
The citizen's responsibility for Dublic action should compell him
;o accept office whenever asked.
"When Christian men are too selfish to enter public life and 'eel that their business would suf- fer by such an action, they are opening a way for dishonest and grafting officials to get into
Dower.
The majority of men in public ife, however, are fine, clean men ind only a few are grafters.
Watch the bulletin boards for lotices of the meeting next Sun- Jay evening.

SILVER LAKE MILITARY ACADEMY SHOWS VAR-
SITY UP
Continued from page one
men lacked fight and lost the oval several times on downs. In the second quarter two or three purple and gold men began to open their eyes and Lobaugh completed a pass on the 30 yard line, Grady with a fine diving in- terference taking the only danger- ous man out of the play and Lo- baugh planted the pig skin be- tween the posts. Soon after the next kick off Crawford passed again to Lobaugh who went an- other 30 yards for a second touch- down.
Alfred's third scoring came in the third quarter when McConnell recovered Brown's fumble and ran 15 yards to the goal line.
Several times Silver Lake made dangerous invasions into Alfred's territory once being frustrated by Grady intercepting a pass behind the goal line and once by Burdick recovering a fumble on 15 yd line.
The only men who really play- ed brilliant ball were "Eddie"
McConnell and Grady—while Lo- baugh and Galloway showed something of real playing. Mc- Connell was the real stuff, he was in every play and many of them before the cadet back field could get started.

RUTGERS SESQUICENTEN- NIAL
Prof. W. A. Titsworth Speaks in Assembly on the Celebration
of His Alma Mater
Prof. W. A. Titsworth spoke Wednesday, November 1, on the Rutger's Sesquicentennial held at New Brunswick, N. J., Oc- tober 20 and 21.
On Friday morning, President Wm. A. Demerist of Rutger's addressed the assemblage on the
"History of the College." Rut- ger's College was founded on November 10, 1766, when a pe- tition, circulated by the Dutch Dominees from the Netherlands, was granted by Governor Frank- lin and the college called Queen's College. During the Revo- lutionary War, the college was moved from place to place and oftentimes, hampered by lack of funds and students, held no session at all. Early in the Nineteenth Century, Carl Rut- gers gave. 1 to the college five thousand dollars, in gratitude for which the college became Rut- tger's College, training ministers chiefly and offering courses in Rhetoric, Logic and Philosophy.
In 1862, Rutgers established a scientific school. By 1916 the student body numbered five hundred, with a freshman en- rollment of over two hundred.
Another interesting feature was the pagaent held on Friday afternoon, which represented the "History of Learning." The prologue consisted of a panto- mine of the figures of Philosophy;
the Trivium; the Quadriviunv;
Chivalry, Medieval Education and Theology.
A series of episodes followed, illustrating events in the history of Rutgers and New Brunswick.
I. Arrival of Dutch in New Brunswick.
II. Granting of charter by Gov. Franklin.

THE STEINHEIM
2242: Anthropology- Pallas Guistiniani
Heroic sized bust. II Main room. Western window on the North side of the room, in the cen- tre.
2243: Pallas Guistiniani Miniature Oast
III South side on a newel post of the stair-way.
The original statute is in the Vatican, and was erroneously named Minerva Medica by the earlier sculptors. It is a meritous piece of sculpture, majestic, grace- ful and dignified, by some un- known sculptor. Minerva was the Goddess of War, Wisdom, and The Liberal Arts. iShe sprang from the head of Jove, fully arm- ed for battle. Notice her helmet, spear, and rather masculine ap- pearance. She has always been a friend to mankind, and when she slew the great serpent enemy of man, Jove changed her name to Pallas. Note the Sphinx is on her helmet, and a hydra head on her breast. Her face is calm, and her profile beautifully cut.
2244: Anthropology Jupiter or Zeus Otricoli (Pheidias 500 B. C.)
I Front window, right side. The original statute is in the Art col- lection of the Vatican, Rome.
Zeus was the son of Saturn and Cybele and was born on Mt. Ida of the Island of Crete. In his in- fancy he was nourished by the goat Amalthea, and became very perfectly developed. He rescu- ed his aged father from their Titan captors and later when the sons of earth made war against Heaven, they were defeated by Jupiter.
He is generally seen in an angry pose, thunder his aid and the lightning his anger. He is Thor of Scandanava.
An eagle became his chariot and the thunderbolt his wrath. This was the earlier work of the famous Pheidias.
2245: Anthropology Juno or Hera Front left window I.
The original is in Naples. The wife of Jupiter was also the mis- tress of heaven; the guardian of the virtues, and the protectress of married women. She was ac- customed to drive her peacock- drawn chariot encumbered with her regal diadems and scepter.
This Juno, however, has a severe masculine hardness quite common in the north of the earlier days. This is not found in any pieces of a later day, where re- finement and culture are evident, ft seems then to belong to an earlier epoch, and is the work of- an early sculptor.
