Faculty Announces New Absence Regulations To Become Effective Now
Instructors Expect Regular Class Attendance; Students To Cut Only
With Permission Of Professors
New absence regulations were ap proved by a large majority vote at the general faculty meeting, Thursday, March 6. Effective from last Friday, until June, 1948, the regulations are a result of discussions held by the Student Senate, Student Affairs Com mittee and the Faculty for some time.
Each student is now responsible for regular class attendance at the dis- cretion of the instructor. Students will be expected to bring to the in- structor evidence that their absences are necessary and the instructor will keep records of absences. However, absentees before and after holidays will have their credit reduced or grades lowered unless excused by the Dean of Men or Dean of Women.
The statement from Dean of Men, Brinton H. Stone is:
"First sentence of the new regula- tions, which appear below, is the most important. It is the consensus of fac- ulty opinion that today's exceptionally mature students are looking to their own interests, and that now is an ap- propriate time to put less cumbersome absence regulations into effect."
The regulations are:
1—Regular class attendance is ex- pected of every student.
2—'It is expected that final grades will be based upon total achievement and that regularity of attendance will be regarded as a factor in that achieve- ment. General regulation of atten- dance in each class is in the hands of faculty member conducting the class.
3—Teachers are expected to inves- tigate causes for absences, and should promptly report to the Dean of Men or the Dean of Women those who are absent three or more times consecu- tively. This is especially important in the case of students enrolled under the G.I. Bill of Rights. The Univer- sity is required to report to the Vet- erans Administration those who are absent five times consecutively.
4—Absences before and after holi- days are to be excused only by the Deans. All students absent without excuse on the day next preceding a college recess or the day a recess be- gins, or absent on the day classes be- gin after a recess or the day following, shall have their credit for that semes- ter reduced an hour for each course in which the absence occurs or shall have grades lowered by on letter in each course. The exact penalty to be applied shall be at the discretion of the Absence Committee.
5—It is expected that the student will bring to the teacher evidences that his absences are necessary, such as statements from the Infirmary, a physician, or from the Dean of Men or Dean of Women.
6—Teachers are expected to keep records of absences on the class cards, and to be ready to make reports of all absences to the administration if requested. This is also necessary to enable the faculty to determine the success or failure of the new absence regulations during the trial period.
7—No excuses for any reason shall be granted for absences from assem- bly. Three absences from assembly per semester are allowed.
8—Three unexcused absences will be permitted each semester in physical education. All unexcused absences beyond the three permitted, up to and including six in number, may be made
•up during the last week in the sem- ester. Students who have more than the three permitted absences which have not been made up will be refer- red to the Committee on Absences for action.
Dean Stone goes on to say:
"One result desired from the change | is to make every student realize that unnecessary absences are a means of defeating the purpose of attending col- lege. Too often the former system led individuals to feel that they were los- ing privileges if they failed to take the maximum allowance of cuts each semester.
Another improvement now expected is that immediate attention can be brought to those who are in trouble, eliminating the months of delay that occurred before.
It was evident, during the two meet- ings at which this matter was thor- oughly discussed, that the faculty is
•well aware of the variations and special conditions affecting class and laboratory attendance. The new regu- lations are designed to give to each instructor freedom to aeal appropri- ately with his students. He will feel personally responsible for and person- ally interested in the regular atten-
dance of each of his students if these regulations are properly observed.
Occasionally, excellent students with high grades create a problem by over- cutting. While this may not have serious results for the exceptionally able student, the faculty feels that it does constitute a real loss to the other students, particularly where there is class discussion."
Guest Presents Russian Policy To Students
Utilizing the knowledge which he gained as a result of a five and a half month trip through Europe last sum- mer, Louis J. Alber discussed the topic, "Behind the Soviet Iron Cur- tain," at the assembly on March 6.
As the results of the forthcoming Mos- cow conference will affect the world situation for many years, an under- standing of Russia is especially im- portant at this time.
Although other factors usually are stressed by newspapers, the people behind this iron curtain must be un- derstood; it is these people who are suffering because of the devastation of the most cruel and destructive war in history. Mr. Alber stresses the fact that two-thirds of European Russia is a wasteland; that 7,000,000 houses have been destroyed; that 8,000,000 people have "disappeared"; that 3,500 bridges have been destroyed and many railroads paralyzed. In any study of Russia, these facts must be given special emphasis. "It is these things which condition the thinking of people," said Mr. Alber, discussing the destruction of machinery or collective farms, and the reduction of such farm- ings to a primitive level.
For the past thirty years, the Rus- sian people have lived in an atmos- phere of war—rumors of war, prepara- tions for war, threats of war and war itself. The country has been invaded fourteen times since 1800, and Minsk has been occupied by foreign forces 101 times! the present situation has been aggravated by the drought, the worst since 1891', which is one of the factors causing the terrible famine in the south at the present time. Mr.
Alber stressed the fact that the "low level of living" of the people is not due to communism; for 2,000 years,of recorded history, the mass of the people have not existed on ,a higher level than animals.
It was the problem of the new revo- lutionary government of 1917 to indus- trialize and revolutionize the agricul- tural system. After 150 years of de- velopment, we have done this; the Russians attempted it in one genera- tion. Organization of collective farms, mechanization of farming, transfer- ring of farmers to industrial plants, neglect of production of consumer goods and emphasis on capital goods were some of the methods used. The threat of war during the 1930's forced the complete abandonment of consum- er-goods production, and a new stress on military supplies. The war wiped out practically all the gain of the past 25 years, as less than one-third of their industrial equipment was carried over the Ural Mountains to safety.
The plans for the future include a series of five-year plans which are un- excelled in ambition, and require al- most superhuman efforts from the people. It is this fact which is the basis for the government's fear of a passive resistance movement, accord- ing to our speaker. It is this very fear which provokes the government to resort to such expedients as anti- Anglo-American propaganda and a high degree of suspicion among Rus- sian officialdom. Mr. Alber stresses the fact that most propaganda is for home consumption and does not repre- sent the attitude of the government toward us. "Rough talk may be put |

Marion Miller Assumes Duties As Union Head
Marian Miller '48, will head the Campus Union Board for the remaind- er of the year following the resigna- tion Thursday night of Constance Brennan '47. Miss Brennan stated that her resignation was necessary be- cause of the press of school work dur- ing the last half of her senior year.
Miss Miller is completing her second year on the Board.
Other business of the meeting con- sisted of naming a constitution com- mittee and a planning committee.
Miss Miller will head the planning committee which will adjust the con- stitution to accomodate expansion of the Union. Long view plans based upon inquiries to other campus unions will be the principal concern of the planning committee under Neysa Jean Dixon '49.
Board members expressed satisfac- tion at the success of the Union dur- ing its first week of operation, al- though it is not on a paying basis. It was brought out that a more varied menu is to be expected including fruits and home-made pastry. For the convenience of early rising students the Union is now open at 7:30 a.m.
The Union Annex will be opened in about a month. The Annex will con- tain four rooms for a Fiat Lux office, a Kanakadea office and two rooms for general meetings. About half of the remaining area will be allotted to a lounge and the other half will be used for increased dining area.
The juke box will be located in the lounge. Composition flooring will be laid down to permit dancing. A few extra tables and chairs will be avail- able from FHA surpluses.
The problem of additional furniture for the lounge may be offered to Blue Key or some other service organiza- tion.
RFA Continues Discussion 01 Political Topics
Last Sunday afternoon in Social Hall was held the second in the three week series of political discussions presented jointly by the political dis- cussion group and the RFA. The speaker presented was Dean Scholes of the Ceramic College. His topic was "Why I Am a Republican."
After giving a summary of the his- tory of parties in America, Dean I Scholes presented an important reason
| that people in America assume mem- bership to a certain party. The point was that we often inherit our politics.
j As we grow, we begin to observe the people around us. If we find some-
! thing, or some one, connected to our party which we have inherited that j we object to, we begin to rationalize j and this rationalization finally be- I comes our convictions.
Dr. Scholes then spoke of the people who call themselves independent vot- ers. These feel that they must vote for the individual party or personality as it happens. The flaw in this think- ing, as pointed out by the Dean, is that they are giving up their right to plan party action as they cannot vote in primaries.
Dean Scholes explained a few of his reasons for favoring the Republican Party. He-stated that he is for a high tariff, long a policy of the Republi- cans.' The question of states' rights was mentioned here as a point in question. The Democrats, in the past

Intersorority Ball Features
"The Esquires"
The Intersorority Ball was held Sat- urday, March 8, 1947, from 9 to 2 in South Hall under the general chair- manship of Neysa Jean Dixon '48.
Music was furnished by "The Es- quires," a seventeen-piece orchestra from Mansfield State Teachers Col- lege. The Dreamers, Lois Sutton '48, Miriam Tooke '48, and Norma Jacox '48, sang "Sophisticated Lady" by re- quest. ^
The decoration committee, headed by Peg Baker '48, used as its theme,
"LeCafe des Belles Temmes." The gym hallway and one room were trans- ferred into a cafe with a striped awning, tables, drawings of "des bel- fourteen years, have pushed in a
les>femmes," and candlelight. Cake policy which granted a great deal of
w a 8served at the "bar" by Jack O'- federal power. The speaker felt that Malley and Bob Whalen. Leland this policy was leading ultimately to
socialism. The Democrats seem to be looking after the people whereas the Republicans favor- free enterprise. In a way of summary, Dean Scholes stated that the Republicans seem to care more for liberty than security.
Following the formal talk, there were several interesting points brought upup during a question period. The tariff policy, party sectionalism, FEPC, and labor policies were all touched upon. These each seemed to offer a topic suitable for future meet- ings. Chairman Ingram Paperny an- nounced that the program next week will be Mr. Edward Lebohner speak- ing on "Why I am a Democrat."
W. S. G. Elects New Head The faculty of the College of Lib- I beral Arts recently voted to adopt the Marie Cherichetti '48 has replaced

Brings Famous Band For St. Pat's Ball
Ray McKinley
Pres. Walters To Return From Florida, March 12
President J. Edward Walters is ex- pected to return to the campus, Wed- nesday, March 12, according to Ed- ward K. Lebohner, business manager.
Dr. Walters returns from Florida, where he visited Alfred University alumni and Rollins College. He spoke before the alumni at Daytona Beach and at Rollins, as well as discussing his book, "Personal Relations," which is used at Rollins with President Holt and the faculty.
Latest reports at the time the FIAT goes to press do not disclose any- thing new on the selection of St. Pat's Queen. All Rawada of Hornell has been contracted to play for the tea dance, Thursday, March 20.
St. Pat is Patron Saint of the En- gineers, all engineers. Here's how ho did his bit as a Ceramic Engineer.
After driving the rattlesnakes out of Ireland, he turned his attention to more serious occupations, pre-ocupa- tions, duties, obligations and what have you, as such, moreover, neverthe- less. Considerable time alapsed from the time he drove the snakes from Ireland until about the year 1807 A. D., or B. C, as you desire, me, I mean it.
At that time a few more intelligent people of the place got together and said that as long as clay brick became so hard on being sun-dried, why not fire them and make them harded. But there was no kiln, so what to do?
About that time Pat came walking along. Pat was never measured for height, length, breadth or weight, but 6oal, and as his stomach was probably it was said that he' often would eat lined with some very refractory ma- terial he could go for days with nothing to eat but just a few tons of coal. The coal would burn inside him and keep him under a full head of steam. At night when he yawned, be- lieve it or not by whomever you wish, the whole countryside would be light- ed up by the flre in his stomach.
So when Pat heard of the difficul- ties that the intellectuals were hav- ing he told them to give him the bricks and he would flre them. He took the brick and retreated to his mountain home, filled up on coal and put the brick in his mouth. By open- ing and closing his mouth he could control the temperature very accurate- ly during the firing.
After a few days he returned the brick and they were found to be un- excelled. Immediately they gave him another 50,000 bricks to be fired.
Pat being very good natured, fired these bricks, too. But it wasn't long before his teeth began to wear down under the continual grinding of the hard brick. So Pat decided he would build a kiln for these intellectuals. He started to build the kiln but the work was so small for his big hands, that he could direct the operations and let the intellectuals do the actual work.
When the kiln was finished it work- ed just as well as Pat's stomach had worked previously. After seeing this kiln work so well, Pat decided that he would have to have some machin- ery to make brick. He immediately went into hiding in his mountain and a few minutes later emerged from the mountain with a full set of plans for a ceramic plant.
And so dear reader you can see for yourself why Pat was such a great Ceramic Engineer as such.
Langworthy had charge of the cloak- room.
During intermission, the sororities held open-house for their members, pledges, and guests. The chaperones at the dance were Dean and Mrs.
Brinton Stone, Dr. and Mrs. L. L.
Lowenstein, Mr. and Mrs. Kurt Ek- dahl, Dr. and Mrs. M. J. Rice, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Reid, Mr. and Mrs. W.
L. Hinkle, Dr. and Mrs. P. C. Saund- ers, and Mr. and Mrs. Harder.

Faculty Adopts New Student Index Scale
indices required of students at the end of each semester which is now in use by the College of Ceramics. This scale becomes effective with the cur- rent semester.
The following table is a comparison of the old and new scales:
Year Semester Old Scale Freshman 1st Not specified
2nd 0.20 Sophomore ... 1st 0.40 2nd 0.60 Junior 1st 0.80 2nd 1.00 Senior 1st 1.00 2nd 1.00 Any student who for the first time Tails to meet these requirements, but whose cumulative index is within 0.50 of the specified figure, will be put on scholastic probation during the next semester, at the discretion of the Com- mittee on Scholastic Standards. If at the end of the probationary semester the student fails to raise his index to
the standard required for that semes- j ans' office in the Ag-Tech library be- Scale New

A student who has been required to with- draw from college for scholastic rea- sons may apply after an intervening semester for readmission. If read- mitted such a student will be given one final semester in which to earn the required index.
The change in scales was made for the following reasons:

3—The new scale will help to elimi- nate the poor students before they reach the junior year.
4—The adoption of the new scale establishes a uniform scale for both colleges which has many obvious ad- vantages.
Some students may feel that the new scale does not provide a sufficient opportunity for freshmen to adjust themselves to the new college situa- tion. While a higher index will be required in the future it should be noted that the requirement of 0.50 at the end of the freshman year is only midway between a "D" and a "C".
This would seem to be a very reason-
able requirement. It is difficult to see
why students in the College of Liber-
al Arts should not expect to be held
to as high a degree of accomplishment
as students in the College of Ceramics.

Faculty On Trial
The new attendance regulations issued Friday, are some different from the initial suggestion made by student groups on campus. Recommendation made by Student Senate suggested that Freshmen continue on the old one-cut-per- hour basis and sophomores and upper classmen be allowed unlimited cuts, more or less at the discretion of the instructor.
The regulations approved by the Faculty Thursday night appear elsewhere in this week's issue. Basically, we agree with them. They are less cumber- some for the administration. The assumption is taken, and justifiably so, that students now are more mature and realize that they are attending college primarily to attend classes and not to pile up a record number of cuts. Sta- tistics show that not more than 50 students overcut last term. This is a direct result of the mature attitude of veterans.
However, it seems to us that a great deal of responsibility is being placed upon each instructor. Probably little harm is done by students taking his one-cut per hour, but under the present regulations, this isn't permitted un- less the instructor is generous enough to overlook the required statment from th infirmary, physician or the Dean's offices.
We hate to think that we are going to have to scheme up an illness when we take our usual spring fever cuts next May.

Statement Forthcoming?
Though we received no official word in answer to the I. S. C. letter ac- cusing Sigma Chi of illegal rushing, we find it rather pertinant that some- thing be said about the matter. It has been rumored about that the accused party was acquitted of .all but one charge. However, as we have said', this is rumor as far as the campus is concerned and we believe that an official announcement from the I.S.C. . of the outcome of this affair should be forth- coming. There is no sense having ugly rumors moving about when the situation can be clearerd by official word from the Intersorority Council.
The Rime Of A Modern Mariner
(Continued)
(Continued' from last week)
"Jesus! Look what's coming up from behind on the starboard quarter!
A tug! And the lights are so distorted I can't make out the distance or which way she's headed!" The engineering officer quickly polished the moisture from his binoculars.
"Take that right rudder off and come left! In a case like this you've got to forget rules," Mike advised Kerruish.
"Have I got hard right rudder?"
asked the executive officer.
The helmsman replied something through the voice tube.
"Good! Now ease her. Amidships!
Steady as you go!"
"Come left! Come left!" Mike screamed.
"Get out of this bridge! Get be- low!"
The ship approaching from ahead was cleared but the tug, which through the heavy snow seemed to be a few hundred yards away, suddenly loomed up about fifty feet away. Col- lision was certain.
"Reverse engines! All back full!
Left rudder! Sound abandon ship!"
Kerruish was horrified.
"Abandon ship! We haven't even tried to—" Mike groaned.
"Helmsman! Relay that! Sound collision instead."
Mike was startled for Kerruish had taken his advice for once. Kerruish switched on the searchlight and threw the beam on the starboard side of the ship so the tug could easily see it.
Both ships backed with all engines going full, but it was useless. The Tug's bow struck aft of the forecastle.
There was a terrible clatter as the starboard ramp rolled from its plat- form into the bay.
"There goes $2000 worth of ramp,"
groaned the engineering officer.
The crew rushed topside, and re- gardless of the blizzard some had on only woolen underwear.
The skipper came calmly up on the bridge. "What's going on here?"
"Hit a tug. . ." said the executive officer.
"Never say such an asinine thing.
They hit us. Well, let's go up into the forecastle and see how big the hole is.
. . If there's a leak we'll have to shut the watertight doors." The skipper departed, followed closely by Kerruish.
Appropriate curses were exchanged between the tug and the LCI. After inquiring the damages and the name of the tug. the two ships went their separate ways, the tug proceeding
like a cocky bully, the LCI like a de- feated and wounded victim, An in- ventory of the damage proved the ship quite seaworthy, but serious enough harm had been done to require investigation by a Naval board of in- vestigators. The starboard ramp had been lost (causing a considerable list to port) and a hole the size of a dish- pan had been put in the bow above the waterline.
Mike stood near the skipper. "That's what Muscles get for shooting sea- gulls. I told him not to."
"Keep quiet, Mike. No use stirring up trouble. I'm in plenty of hot water now! What happens to the ship is the skipper's responsibility, and when I get into port I expect to be relieved of my command," sighed the skipper unhappily.
"But HE did it. You didn't! He's to blame! And when we have the in- vestigation I'm going to tell the whole story."
"Mike, listen," said the skipper, "all of us have to learn sometime. Ex- perience is a pretty costly thing at times. What if I didn't overlook the mistakes you've made and will make?
What about the time you were on the helm in New York harbor? None of us are really sailors aboard this ship. We come from offices, banks, schoolrooms, freight yards, slums, even Park Ave- nue. And we have to learn how to be good sailors sometime. I'm not saying the seagull did it, or even Ker- ruish's thoughtless adherence to the rules. I just think our executive of- ficer has learned a lesson he won't for- get. Let's leave it at that."
"But what about you, skipper?"
"You just go down below and straighten up those logs. They'll be the first thing that gets inspected.
And^ leave the executive officer alone.
Don't ridicule him. It's my worry, my responsibility, and I've got to figure it out somehow."
"Listen, skipper, listen!" cried Mike, cocking his ear.
"What is it, Mike?"
"Sea gulls! Hear them cackling!
they're laughing at us! Why else would they be out here in this bliz- zard?"
"The skipper looked up into the night, the big flakes of snow falling on his face. Seagulls! Two of them!
Swooping over the ship. But they couldn't possibly be the same two that got away. Mike was too romantic.
The ship continued on toward the operating base. It listed considerably to port. There was a hole the size of

Five problems of importance were discussed at the meeting of the Stu- dent Affairs Committee last week.
Corinne Herrick, secretary of the group, wrote to Mr. Lebohner in re- gard to fire hazards at dances in Davis Gym. Mr Lebohner replied that there are four exits at Davis Gmy, all mark- ed with approved signs. There is one exit at the rear of the gym, one at the southwest leading through the boiler room, and one at the south east side through the locker room. The main entrance is the other exit. A panic bolt will be purchased and in- stalled on the rear exit door. The question of having a fire marshall at each dance was left until a member of the local fire department could be contacted.
The motion was made and carried"
that the Student Affairs Committee give its cooperation to the St. Pat's festivities which will be staged March 20 and 21.
Dean Drake was contacted about establishing a local Phi Beta Kappa chapter on campus. He said he was working toward this end.
The need for a university placement bureau for seniors of the Liberal Arts was discussed. No one assumes these duties at present, but the Dean of Men and the Dean of Women are will- ing to give their assistance to anyone who wishes it.
At present the Campus Activity Cal- endar for this semester is under the supervision of the committee. The calendar will be completed next week.
ATI Gives Course In Office Machines
"Our course in office machines is a practical benefit to potential secre- taries in that it teaches them a gen- eral working knowledge of several business machines instead of develop- ing in them expert skill in the opera- tion of only a few such machines,"
commented Mrs. Josephine Park, in- structor in secretarial studies at the Agricultural and Technical Institute.
The student actually works with the mimeograph and the mimeoscope which is an illuminated drawing board used for cutting diograms and pictures on stencils, and the ditto machine.
Both the mimeograph and the ditto are direct duplicating machines.
The mimeograph can make an un- limited quantity of copies from one I n t e r c o l l e g ^ Archery Tournament- stencil, and the stencil can be used

Pulling Other People's Chestnuts Out of the Fire
In the Spring of 1919, shortly after World War I, I was sitting on a bench on the old Alfred University campus reading a book. Dean Norwood (that was before he became President of Alfred) happened by and sat down on the bench and asked me what I was reading. It happened to be Simeon Baldwin's "The Young Man and the Law". Dr. Norwood at that time gave me some vocational guidance which I followed. It was to become a Law student and to become admitted to the Bar. It was good advice and I have never regretted.
Inasmuch as I did not have any money when I graduated from Alfred it was necessary to flounder around and earn my own way. I finished Law School, became admitted to the Bar and have been in the profession ever since.
It is extremely difficult to "type"
students who will be happy in the practice of Law. Constant study of Law is a requisite. If you elect Law you must be a student for life. For the Law is always changing through judicial interpretation. And there are always new and amended laws. I think that it can safely be said that those who are of a studious nature enjoy the field of Law the most. Also, in order to be happy in the practice of Law one must not be shy of con- troversy, and one must have a reten- tive memory and be able to think
"straight".
It has always been my feeling that a Law student should have a Bache- lor's degree before embarking on the study of Law. Work leading to an L.L.B. is strenuous and admission is highly competitive nowadays. The examining boards are constanly in- creasing their standards. Any student who may find interest in this little piece will do well to get a good book on Constitutional Law and read it.
Therein he will find some pertinent facts directly related to the creation and development of our judical sys- tem and a considerable amount of in- formation on the Executive and Legis-

lative branches of our government. A good book on Constitutional Law which contains text and cases is
"American Constitutional Law" by Charles W. Gerstenberg. If this book is not in the Alfred library I suggest that they procure it. It is published by Prentice-Hall of New York City.
Sometimes I feel that one who de-11

I have it on good authority that St.
Pat's is to be cancelled. The disturb- ing announcement reached me from a usually well-informed source, a.
member of high campus circles who wishes his name to remain undis- closed.
Pressing for further clarification during the interview, I asked if tickets were not going so well? . . .
"Oh, no," he said, "tickets are going very well. In fact, sale may be stop- ped within a few days so the gym won't be over-crowded."
"Can't the band come?" I asked.
"Oh, no it isn't that. The band is on contract, you know."
After lengthy interrogation, my source said, "It's because of queens!"
"The queens-" . . . .
"Yes, they can't decide what to>

"What about gloves?"
"I think I shall wear a sheet draped around . . . . "
"That would certainly be effective on you, but how about me?"
"Well, let's decide something".
"I can't decide."

Each student also practices dictat- ing to the dictaphone and then trans- cribes the recorded material on the wax cylinder by means of the Trans- cribing machine. He also learns how to operate the shaving machine, which shaves away the used portion of the wax cylinder, leaving it ready for use again.
During the course of study the stu- dents have the opportunity to operate the electromatic typewriter which makes more carbon copies than the ordinary typewriter, and which enables the typist to develop greater speed;
the calculator, a non-listing machine that performs the four processes of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division; one adding machine, which is a listing machine with a full keyboard and another that performs the processes of addition and subtrac- tion and has a keyboard of only ten keys; and the protectograph, a check writing machine.
Demonstrations in the use of the newest model business machines are given at the school by representatives of the various business companies.
The course in office machines at the Institute carries two semester hours credit, and the work is done in two laboratory periods each week. It is a one semester course and is required of all students taking the secretarial course of study.
makes a mistake in seeking the ad- vice of atorneys. The legal profes- sion, contrary to public impression, is not lined with gold. The average in- come of the Lawyer in the United States is lower than that of a doctor, for instance. How it compares with other professions I do not know.
The pursuit of Law through accred- ited Law Schools is a splendid educa- tion even though the student does not actually enter the practice of Law.
It is to be noted that women are taking to the legal profession more and more, which may be a good thing.
There are many women admitted to the Bar in New York State who are splendid Lawyers.
In conclusion I
"However, I saw a member of the St. Pat's board stop at their table and
will simply state that Dean Norwood back in 1919 gave me a very good "steer". I have help- ed guide several students into the field of Law. Bill Navin, President of the Alumni Association, I believe is one of them. Bill, who has special- ized in Patents and Copyrights, is with the Wester Electric Company. I have been with Bell Telephone Labora- tories, Incorporated for many years as an attorney.

Local Cagers Lose 68-50 To Allegheny College In Final Contest Of Season
Allegheny Leads By 10 Points At Half; A. U. Gains In Second Period;
Johnston, O'D.onnell Score High
The Saxons dropped their final game of the cage season to Allegheny Teachers College at Meadville, Penn- sylvania. The 68-50 finish gave *the Warriors a record of six wins in seventeen starts.
The Allegheny men, who seemed to have a well-organized man-to-man de- fense made most of their shots count, and led the game all the way. At half-time they had a lead of ten points, 31-21. It was only well along in the second period that the Warriors chal- lenged the leaders. After our boys had moved within four points, the Teach- ers really opened up to extend their lead to about fifteen points. Alfred was unable to close this gap.
Kahl led the scoring for the eve- ning with 15 points followed by team- mates McMullen and Peilsey for the winners. Ludie Johnston and Joe O'- Donnell were high for the Saxons with 12 and 11 points, respectively.

Teams Prepare For Intramural Play-off Games
The Bone Crushers, Indies, Lambda Chi I and the Cold Cutters came out on top in intramuural competition.
These teams thus won the right to participate in the playoffs this week.
Lambda Chi compiled the best record, being undefeated in eight games. Second place in the Ameri- can League went to the Cold Cutters, who were in the race all the way, fall- ing only to the first place team.
In the National League, there was really a mad scramble in the final week, when both Klan Alpine and Kappa Delta were knocked out of the running, the laurels going to the In- dependents and the Bone Crushers, who were tied for first place with seven wins and two losses.
These teams earned the right to play for the coveted Intramural Bas- ketball trophy. The semi-finals were last night, and the winners play to determine the champion tomorrow night, the losers playing off for third place at 7:00 p.m, to open the double- header.
Although these teams came out on top, there were a number of other teams which just fell short of play- off berths. Delta Sig had six wins in eight starts in the American League for third place, fourth place being a tie between the Rural Engineers and Sloe Joes.
In the National League, Kappa Del- ta, the Macs and Klan Alpine were deadlocked for second, and the Macs defeated the leading Indies in the final week. Kappa Psi took third place with a 5-4 record.

St. Pat's Day Queen Candidates Two Matmen Enter Cleveland Meet Sat.
Jim Thompson, leading Saxon wrest- ler, and Gail Phillips will participate in the Tri-State Wrestling Meet a t Cleveland this Friday and Saturday.
Thompson, a Ceramic engineering senior and member of the St. Pat's Board, is undefeated in meet compe- tion, having pinned all opponents, many of them in less than 3 minutes of the 9 minutes of time allotted. Jim, who will wrestle in the 175 pound class, is one of the best wrestlers Al- fred has ever had.
Gail Phillips, who weight 155, comes from Forty Fort, Pennsylvania. A freshman in Ag-Tech, Gail was a n interscholastic wrestling champ in Pennsylvania last year. He has been wrestling out of his weight all season and has made a good showing.

Sport Side
By Art Hazlett
Well, basketball season is drawing to a close; this week's Intramural playoffs will finish all of the scheduled contests.
It hasn't been a bad year, although the Varsity has experienced a lot of hard knocks and has lost some close games, but they have averaged a num- ber of losses and have faced some very good teams—'the Buffalo State team, which came within a hairbreadth of beating us has lost but two games all season.
I saw some very good track events at the recent Intercollegiate Indoor Meet in New York. Gil Dodds "The Flying Preacher" really stepped out in an invitation two-mile run to show the college boys how to do it. His first mile, 4:28, was nine seconds more than the 4:19 which won the college mile. Les MacMitchell ran in the 1000-yard run; Glen Davis, the Army back, tied the indoor record as he sprinted the 60-yard dash in 6.2 seconds.
Our boys didn't do too bad either, considering that we were probably the smallest of the 19 colleges repre- sented, with universities such as Cor- nell, Syracuse, and Colgate, having a hard time to tally any points. In the past, Alfred has tallied points in the meet.
There should be a lot more enthusi- asm about the coming Interclass meet.
At least a third of Alfred's male popu- lation has had experience in track at one time or another. This isn't going to be intercollegiate competion, but it's a chance for everyone to get out and see what he can do.
The coming boxing tournament is going to be another big event on the college sports program, but this still needs more participants. A lot of the men who have come out do not have any eperience.
Muddelhead was wondering if the sports department had gone for myst- ery stories. It seems that the Hart- wick game write-up.had no final score;
it was 55-47, for all who are looking for the second installment.
Six-Man Teams to Play
Intramural Director Dan Minnick re- quested today that the rosters of all teams wishing to enter the all-college Volleyball Tournament be submitted to him by March 21. The playing teams are to consist of six men. The tournament winner is usually awarded with a trophy.

Anyone interested in the a r t of self defense, other than those who have already signed up, should submit their names and weight to the Gym office sometime during this week. A boxing tournament has always been on of the leading intramural events on campus.
In former years spectators have liter- ally hung from the rafters to witness the events and this year will be no exception.

i Coach Schedules Meet
The Annual Interclass Meet has been set for April 19. It will not con- sist of teams for each class because of the lack of available participants in the upperclasses. It will be the up- perclassmen vs. the freshmen.
Track Coach James McLane stated that there was a great need on both teams in many events, and would like to see more men turn out. Marvin Smith, star harrier, was named cap- tain of the Frosh team. His running mate, Clarence Braum, and Arling Hazlett are to head the upperclass- men.

(Continued from page one.) down as a rough estimate of the troubles of the Kremlin at home," he said.
Assuring us that a knowledge of background is important if we are to understand such a problem, Mr. Al- ber acquainted us with the basic his- tory of Russia. He stressed the fact t h a t were a Democracy instituted in 1917, when 85% of the people were illiterate, it would only have resulted in chaos and anarchy. He believes t h a t pure communism is nothing more than a desire in Russia; the addition of small incentives of capitalism has changed the basic system, though the name remains the same.
Due to the one-party set-up in Rus- sia, knowledge of the organization and practices of that party is important t o any observer of world affairs. It differs from the American political party in that it does not care about votes, and represents a small, select group. Mr. Alber described the vigor- ous evolution of a typical party mem- ber, a process which covers a period of years. The one word which can describe the Communist Party in Rus- sia is "rigidity"; members are ruth- lessly disciplined and masked in secre- cy. According to our speaker, it is t h e "most effective political machine ever devised for the governing of men". The oft-described Russian dic- tatorship ruled by a fourteen man commission known as the Politburo,
« n which Stalin has one vote. Legis- lative authority is vested in t h e Su- preme Soviet, and the Council of Min- isters is designed to carry out laws and policies. Mr. Alber very fittingly summed up his description of the gov- ernment by stating that, "It parallels
the way in which a large corporation is run."

Basketball is well under way now.
with four games having been played last week. Sigma Chi is leading the contest with a total of three wins and ! no losses to her credit. Strictly "foul" j games were played by Sigma Chi with Pi Alpha and Brick I. The end of the i first game came in the nick of time
1 for the forwards on the Sigma Chi team since they had received warning for fouls in the last five or ten minutes of the final quarter. The score of that game was 28-27. The game was called at the beginning of the fourth quarter between Sigma Chi and Brick j I since Brick I found herself with only two forwards and two guards quali- fied to play. Final score was 19-12.
The third victory for Sigma Chi was taken from Omicron with a score of 22-19.
The Castle team, augmented by Theta Chi, defeated Omicron with a final score of 39-17. Omicron was at a distinct disadvantage through height when Terry, Utal, and Bohl faced
> Lord, Brennan and Miller, the tall [ ones from the Castle. Castle default- ed to Brick I earlier in the week, leav- ing them with a standing of one win and one loss. Brick I is tied with Castle and Pi Alpha for second place with her one win from the Castle and one loss from Sigma Chi.
In the Pi Alpha-Brick K. P. game some of the best individual shooting of the season was displayed by Taffy Macaulay, who sank nine baskets from any and every position on the floor.
Pi Alpha's score was 34-18, leaving them with one win and one loss.
