Faculty Approves ROTC Unit For Alfred Campus By Substantial Majority
Board Of Trustees, ROTC Officials And Students To Vote Before Final Decision; AU Must Provide Buildings
Allied University faculty today approved "by a substantial majority" the establishment of a Reserve Officers Training Corps unit here.
Dr. M. Ellis Drake, acting president, said after the meeting that the action must be followed by approval by the Board of Trustees, ROTC officials and by the student body before a unit actually is established at the 112-year- old university.
"However, we feel that this is a way in which we can prepare students for greater service in event they are needed," Dr. Drake said. "It will help to make those eligible for the draft better trained or others who are not drafted better prepared to serve in the defense of our country."
The faculty, last May, voted two to one for ROTC "if Congress adopts a Selective Service program of select- ing a sufficient number of recruits to fill the established quotas of the Army, Air Corps and Navy." The present vote was taken to give new faculty and administrative personnel a chance to take part in the decision.
Chief among the "hurdles" to be taken before ROTC comes to Alfred is the stipulation that the University must provide buildings and facilities.
However, ROTC officials have indi- cated that the former Alfred town barn bordering Terra Cotta field
•would be satisfactory and the Univer- sity is taking steps toward its pur- chase.
Chest Drive To Include Seven Organizations
Seven organizations will be the re- cipients of the proceeds collected from this year's Community Chest drive. In order to aid students in de- ciding upon the size of their contri- butions to the Community Chest, a brief synopsis of the work of these organizations is presented here.
World Student Service Organization, Aids over eight hundred thousand stu- dents of college age to gain an educa- tion. It supplies them with much need- ed food, clothing, education and medi- cal treatment. The W.S.S.F. cam- paigns only among the students and faculty members of American colleges and universities.
National Student Association—An organization of students which seeks to "maintain academic freedom and to develop better educational stand- ards, facilities and teaching methods."
It helps students with such problems as housing and securing employment after they leave school.
Religious Fellowship of Alfred—An organization on our campus that is open to all students. It presents forums every Sunday evening which include discussions of both religious and non-religious nature. It also pre- sents the R.F.A. music hour on Sun- day afternoons and an all campus picnic once a year.
Foster Child Plan—Under this plan, a group in America "adopts" children In the various European countries and supports them. These children are either orphans or their parents are unable to support them. Often they have been injured in the war and re-

Religious History Course Replaces Alfred Smokers
Due to a great number of evening meeting held by social organizations on the campus, Chaplain Myron K.
Sibley has announced the discontinu- ance of the Smokers held last year.
Chaplain Sibley explained that in place of last year's Smokers a two hour course entitled History of Religion is being given as part of the curriculum.
"This course," the Chaplain said,
"purports to show that religion has an essential place in the life of the fully mature individual. College under- graduates are moving in the right di- rection In their attitude toward re- ligion."
Outing Club Begins Construction Work For New Ski Tow
Construction work on the electric ski tow being erected on the 30 acre site of the Alfred Outing Club will begin this week, announced Jesse B.
Shapiro '49, chairman of the ski tow committee.
A bulldozer supplied by A. L.
Blades of Hornell, N. Y., has graded off the entire hill and cut new trails up in the woods thus providing an area near the top of the hill for the more advanced skiers and also a run off the bottom for the beginners and novice skiers.
"All we need now Is the cooperation of the club members in order to com- plete the tow construction before the weather gets too cold," said Shapiro.
At 1:00 p.m. Saturday the club is holding a "hill cleanup" with all mem- bers invited to pitch in. The day's activities will be concluded with a barbecue for all those who help.
Tonight's meeting -will be held at 8:30 in Kenyon Chapel instead of Social Hall. Movies of last year's Winter Carnival will be shown.

CS Student Enters Work In Art Exhibit
Roland Nadeau of the School for American Craftsmen will exhibit two items in a decorative arts exhibition opening Nov. 4 at the Newark, N. J., Museum. He will,be represented by a large bronze bowl and two silver candlesticks.
Stating that Mr. Nadeau, was a
"superior craftsman," Director Harold Brennan, of the craft school, pointed out that the metal student's silver candlesticks were on exhibition at American House in New York where the> were seen by Alice W. Kendall, director of the Newark Museum, who asked for them to be entered along with the bowl in the small decorative arts exhibition.
Mr. Nadeau, a 31-year-old ex-Marine from Waterville, Me., currently is rep- resented in two other exhibitions. He has matched enamel trays at a dis- play entitled "Contemporary Metal- crafts," arranged by the Philadelphia Art Alliance and pewter and enamels in an exhibit called "Modern Wall- papers" which was arranged by the American Federation of Arts for a showing at the Galleries of the Archi- tectural League of New York.

Dr. Frechette Picks Miss Limerick '48
Dr. Van Derek Frechette, College of Ceramics professor who just re- turned from a 25-day European jaunt to inspect ceramic plants and labora- tories, ended up by judging a beauty contest on his last night in England.
"It was a big Red Cross benefit dance with Lady Adare on the com- mittee at Limerick. We picked "Miss Limerick of 1948,' " briefly said the young scientist who seemed more con- cerned about the status- of ceramic re- search in jet engine refractories than in the dimensions of a beauty queen.
He also was only mildly elated be- cause he was allowed to pass through the Paris customs when entering France with only a minimum of scrutiny "because the workers were watching for some boxing champion I never heard of."
Dr. Frechette attended a colloquium on solid state reactions at the Sor- bonne in Paris and the International Congress on Vitreous Enamels in Lon- don.
AT Library Decorating, Painting Nearly Completed
The decoration of the new Ag-Tech library located in the Ag-Tech build- ing was completed this week. In ad- dition to the painting which was com- pleted this July, several new book cases have been added and four red leather davenports purchased. The new drapes have nqt yet arrived.
With the purchase of 60 fiction books, the total number of books in the library was brought to over 4,000.
A display commemorating the birth of Theodore Roosevelt is being exhib-
Solicitors will include members' of the Senate in addition to other students.
Daniel Kane '49, chairman of the drive wished to stress the fact that the money contributed will be divided as the student designates on the pledge card. If the student does not state how the money should be distributed, it will be divided according to the quota on the card. Thus the quota applies only to those cards which do not state how the donation should be distributed'.
Kane reminded the student body that the committee was not asking for a specific amount from each student.
"All we ask," he said "is that you give as much as you can, but every one give! Ask yourself how much you would give to each organization, if they were holding separate drives."
Senate members, who have not turned in lists of members of ftheir residence, are requested to bring them to the Fiat office as soon as possible in order that the solicitors will be prepared to begin work on the day the drive begins.
ACS Members Elect St. Pat's Board Seniors
The senior members of the St Pat's Board were elected at the first meet- ing of the American Ceramics Society, Thursday. The six members of the junior class on the Board will be elect- ed by the senior members at 5 p.m.
today in Binns Hall.
The fourteen seniors on the Board include: Herbert Anderson, Willis Breitsman, Joseph Crispino, Charles Deignan, Edward Dick, Michael Hum- enik, Jr., John Kane, Michael Orzano, George Reuning, Charles Schane, Ed- ward Schane, William Stetson, Leroy Weaver and Robert Whitford.
Before the elections, over one hun- dred ceramic faculty and students saw a color film on the Sewer Pipe Plant of the Robinson Clay Products Company.
Research Increases In England, France
"Chemistry and ceramic research in France and England is becoming more important than ever," Dr. VanDerck Frechette, of the College of Ceramics, said Monday upon returning from a 25-day trip to Europe where he attend- ed a series of lectures at the Sor- bonne University in Paris.
He said the two countries have a different objective, however. "In Eng- land, scientists are expending a great deal of effort in an attempt to gain world markets," he noted, "but the French simply are trying to get back on their feet." £•
"Another striking factor was the way in which research is undertaken,"
said Dr. Frechette who visited Europe as a naval technician. "The French, are intensely interested in automatic machines and instruments.
"They want everything done as neat- ly and elegantly as possible. However, the English are more like us in that they weigh carefully the cost and use manpower whenever it is cheaper."
ited Tuesday. His biography and a tribute to him will make up part of the display.

Homecoming!!! Everywhere you look, people you never saw before, who throw their arms around you and screech, "Oh, I'm so glad to see you agin." Alumni, dates, fur coats, football games, open-houses, it's all homecoming and it's great stuff. But it's a good thing it only happens once a year, so some bright individual said.

The Drive Needs Your Support
Those of us who remember the times when individual drives for icontributions were held on campus, welcome the Community Chest plan. The main value of this drive is that students are not constant- ly being asked to give money for one thing or another.
Perhaps some of you are undecided as to how much to pledge or contribute. It seems to us the best way to figure it out is to make a list of the organizations and the amount you want to give to each, and pledge the total to the Community Chest.
However, do not take an "all-or-nothing" attitude. If you consid- er the total to be too far beyond your means, give somewhat less. But the main point is to give something—or at least pledge it of you do not have the money at the time cards are sent out.
If you have any preference as to what organizations you would rather support, you may indicate which ones, and the Community Chest Committee will consider your request.
No specific goal has been set this year, and no specified amount asked for from each student,4 so the success or failure of the drive depends upon how many students get in back of it.

Assembly Speeches
When students heard that the assembly schedule this year would start with four consecutive speeches (not including President Drake's welcoming speech), they were probably not looking forward to Thursday mornings. They must have felt somewhat better, however, when it was announced that three of these would be a series of speech- es explaining the positions of the Republican, Democratic, and Pro- gressive parties. As a matter of fact, we expected these talks to be rather valuable.
"We are not sure how valuable they were, but we agree it was a good idea. It was no fault of the assembly committee's if the Republican constantly derode the other parties, the Democrat had nothing new to offer, and the Progressive side-stepped the questions asked.
We hope that later assemblies, if not more varied, turn out better than those so far. Compulsory attendance is just one of the factors that cause students to go to assembly grudgingly. Of course, the quality of the programs has a great deal to do with it.
But we will reserve any definite opinion on the work of the assembly committee until later on in the year, when we see the results of their work.
Last year the WSSF received 60%
of the total amount that the students of Alfred contributed to the Commun- ity Chest. This year, they are receiv- ing 20% of the proceeds, still more than any other organization. There- fore the students were asked: Do you think that this percentage is too high, just right or too low in relation to the other organizations?
Too high—44%
Just right—36%
Too low—20%
Those that said that the percentage was still too high felt for the most
By Douglas Grewer
There has been a great deal of controversy over the amount ap- propriated to the "World Student Service Fund in the Community Chest drive. Since the drive begins next Monday, the Having Repor- ter became a prying poller and attempted to get a cross section of student opinion on the subject. First
of all we asked the point blank ques- tion, do you know anything about the organization called the World Student Service Fund?
Only 41% of those polled had even a vague idea of what the organization is. The remainder frankly admitted that they had no notion of what the purposes of the organization are. Ob- viously there has either been a lack of publicity, or a lethergy on the part of the students.
part that other better-known organiza- tions such as the cancer fund and the infantile paralysis foundation deserved at least an equal percentage. Others felt that charity begins at home and that the organizations having more to do with Allegany county or village of Alfred should be given the most con- sideration.
Those that, felt that the organization was receiving too little said that be- cause the W.S.S.F. solicited only the colleges of the country while other everyone, we give more to this organization. Typical opinions of students are expressed below:
Richard Nohle '51—The idea of the W.S.S.F. is a very good one and the amount we give should be as much as possible, but the results are too in- tangible and remote.
Florence Gluszek AT—With the much higher level of education we have In our country, I think we should give a much higher percentage to the students abroad.

Prof. John Tagliabue Reviews Margaret Webster's ? Macbeth'
Margaret "Webster's Company of traveling actors stopped here Tuesday night and gave their version of "Macbeth." It was fast and furious, colorful and melodramatic but in many ways it was not good.
is a story of crime and
"Macbeth'
punishment. It is a story of terrific vividness and concentration and, when put on, the problem is to prevent the vividness from becoming gaudiness, the concentration from becoming con- fusion.
Margaret Webster's production was not able, to do that. Often there seemed to be no space between the actors, no design in their arrangement, and no feeling from which the poetry and the pction grew. The minor actors ran around and muffled their lines;
the major ones committed worse crimes. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth were not able to reveal in a subtle and tragic way what Shakespeare's poetry wants them to reveal—the storm within them. Macbeth was too bellicose and overacted; Lady Mac- beth was too feeble. Consequently, the play had no depth and little meaning.
Shakespeare's poetry indicated that the hero of his play is a man of great conscience, of sensitivity, a man cap- able of visions and of great speech.
The acting of Joseph Holland was not able to indicate that. Macbeth has a great capacity for suffering, which indicates that he was once noble and his imagination is still great. If we do not see Macbeth's nobility, he is ony a melodramatic puppet or a path- etic boy.
Macbeth's ambition and what is al- ways beneath that—his feeling of weakness, a fear that he is not quite man enough to satisfy his wife and himself—lead him on to the crime and his catastrophe. He is always his wife's boy.
The drama up to the blood-letting of the crime is all obvious. But the drama after the murder of Duncan is largely internal and psychological; it is the drama of Macbeth's punishment.
The storm within him begins.
After the crime, the actor who plays Macbeth must be able somehow to Informed of the results of this poll, Daniel Kane '49, chairman of the Com- munity Chest drive, decided that since the pledge cards this year give the students the right to appropriate their money as they see fit, and, since less than half the students thought that the percentage received by W.S.S.F.
is too high, the results of this poll would indicate that the percentaages designated to each organization need not be changed.
externalize this storm which is taking place. Fear, guilt, Banguo's ghost, the whole storm breaks within him until he is broken. By the time he is brought the news of his wife's death, nothing is alive for him. He cannot feel; "life is a tale told by an an idiot, full of sound and fury, sig- nifying nothing."
Joseph Holland was not able to show this any more than Margaret Webster was able to create the atmos- phere of secrecy and suspense which the play ^requires. The play must be both psychological and melodramatic.
If it is one at the expense of the other, half of its great power is lost.
Even if it is played as straight ir. -:•- odrama, it should be gloomy, fast., ter- rifying. As it was, it was gaudy, noisy and often funny: This failure was conspicuous in the Banquo ghost scene, in the Macduff-Macbeth batt.e and in the "tomorrow and tomorrow"
soliloquy.
I have not mentioned Lady Macbeth yet and her acting was so feeble that perhaps she should not be mentioned.
Shakespeare makes the queen a fiend- ish force. She is needed to push Mac- beth beyond his human limits into a stats of evil which should terrify us as well as ruin him. Her evil did not seem to grow out of her body, out of deep feelings. T
physical about it.
Lady MacBeth's negligee and iier raven-like hair (was it real?) made her look more like "La Belle Dame Sans Merci" than the fiendish queen.
She war flimsy, pale and sleek. She recited her lines poorly. She was so feeble, she was almost not there. A
"Macbeth" without Lady Macbeth is like "Hamlet" without Hamlet.
The test thing abuui the production the ether night was the audience. It was lively, responsive; it realise!

Letters To The Editor—
Band Leader Thanks Bill Brown Dear Editor:
I want to express the appreciation of myself and of the members of the Band to Bill Brown, who pressed the uniforms which were badly mussed in the University of Buffalo game. Bill not only refused to accept payment for the work, but made sure that the uniforms were ready before the Home- coming game.
I am sure the students and towns- people will be as pleased as I was when I learned of this loyal act.

American Cancer Society—Aims to establish a Cancer Detection Center in Wellsville. Allegany County, unlike most counties, does not have one of these centers. This Cancer Detec- tion Center would be available to everyone. Cancer examinations would either prove that cancer was not present or would help catch it before it had advanced too far.
National Infantile Paralysis Foun- dation—Some of the money donated to this organization goes to the National foundation and some stays in the county. Money is used to carry on research and to help polio victims.

Memo
TO: THE BOSSLADY FROM: JERRYSMITH
The only thing missing from the Forum program the other night was
"The Sabre Dance" in the second act.
Nevertheless, it was the first time we ever saw the gymnasium that full of people. And despite what Prof. Tag- liabue said about the quality of drama, that probably was the first time 90 percent of the audience ever saw a Shakespeare play on the stage. That alone should commend the Forum Committee for the usually thankless work they do.
There is just one question: Were all those strangers there on compli- mentary tickets and if so why? We know of at least two students who left because they were forced to sit so far back that appreciation of the play was almost impossible.

You know how easy it is to get pre- speech interviews with professional speakers? All you do is tell him you want a paragraph or a dozen para- graphs and, if the gentleman is a speaker of any experience, he will succintly summarize his speech for you or, in some cases, hand you a copy of the speech. Sometimes they go so far as to point out the highlights.
Well, let us tell you how difficult it can be! We went with Prof. Snyder to meet Neil Brant, the Progressive Party plugger, who came Thursday for assembly. Here's a quote by quote description of the interview:
Mr. Memo: "Mr. Brant, would you like to summarize your remarks for the local papers?"
That Charlie Chaplin mustache bobbed, up and down a couple of times.
Mr. Brant: "I'm going to speak on.
our foreign policy."
Mr. Memo: "Well, would you want to summarize your remarks on the foreign policy?"
Mr. Brant: "What I'll say is all in our platform here." He handed us an 18-page, illustrated "summary" of the Progressive Party platform.
Mr. Memo: "Well, you probably won't give the whole platform. Would you want to indicate the parts you will repeat?"
Out flew a mechanical pencil loaded with red lead (you can make any- thing you want out of that) and he indicates at least a column on every page.
Obviously there was nothing new for any paper in that platform. Our only hope was to go to assembly and listen for baited questions. There, although a few students made a valiant at- tempt, it was the same old routine, one, two, step-to-the-side, close; one, two, step-to-the-side, close. That's why you don't have a story on the assembly.

Our gripe of the week is relatively minor. It only bothers us on rainy days. However, did you ever walk in front of Burdick Hall and get a collar full of rain from the leaky eaves? Or do you take the precaution of step- ping around the puddle from having had the experience before?
* * •
Mrs. York, after spending a hard night with the adding machine, told us that the University receives $1.53 and one-third cents per day to feed students eating in dormitory dining halls. Then she added;
"We're having a hard time keeping the per-student costs down to that.
Some days we run over. When you figure in all those things that don't go on the table, such as overhead, per- haps you will see what I mean."

Crowd Of 5000 Sees Saxon Warriors Beat Hartwick 25-7
Before a Homecoming crowd of 5,000, Hartwick College was subdued, 25-7, by the Alfred University gridders, Saturday evening tinder the lights of Merrill Field.
The game was marked by clean play ing and few injuries. Dale Thompson was badly cut up, but he was the only one really hurt.
The contest marked the final home game of several Alfred regulars—Hal Brown, Art LaSalle, Sid Schweitzer, George Reuning, Iggy Scott, Rags Sut- phen, Charley Clark, and Bill Argen- tieri. Jim Bouie, a reserve quarter- back, also played encouraging ball, as did Thompson.
The first Saxon touchdown came three minutes after the game started, when a series of plays brought the ball deep into Hartwick territory. Hal Brown slipped around left end for 20 yards for the touchdown. His try for the extra point was blocked. Alfred's second touchdown came when Bill Ar- gentieri recovered an Alfred fumble in Hartwick's end zone. This time Brown's extra point try was wide.
That ended Alfred's conquests for a time, as Hartwick's Larry Sant Angelo Bcored from the two yard line, after a long drive. Stan Wilski's point after touchdown was good.
Alfred scored another touchdown in the second quarter on a pass from John Barnes to Joe Reilly for 27 yards and a touchdown. Brown passed to Argentieri for the extra point.
The second half was the scene of one more touchdown for Alfred. It came soon after Argentieri intercepted a Hartwick pass on his own 38 yard stripe. Five plays later Clark went over to make the count 27-7.
Alfred gained 226 yards to 46 for Hartwick; 16
wick's four.

ALFRED NEW YORK
Flurschutz, O'Neil, Wightman Run Dead Heat As Saxons Win
Bob Wightman, Dick O'Neil and Paul Flurschutz, matching strides through the greater part of the race, crossed the finish line abreast in the record equaling time of 24:51, as the varsity cross country smeared Ni- agara 17-49 last Saturday.
Reagan of Niagara, who captured fourth place, trailed the victorious trio by thirty-two seconds and was closely followed by Paul Betlem and
Don Rosser of Alfred. Hoar of Nia-jtime festivities For the first time
Sports Sidelights
Despite Alfred's large margin of vic- tory in their 27-7 victory over Hart- wick, they acted as if football was a new word in their vocabulary. They played a sloppy, uninvigorating game throughout the contest. A game marked by a definite lack of interest.
Hartwick gained 40 yards rushing.
How they gained this is something that should be looked into. Hartwick, a team which has very little in the line of football talent, must also have put the curse on the Purple and Gold, because they looked as if they had little more.
If football is a new word in their vocabulary, we're glad it was finally defined. We might now see some football, let's hope so
Concerning the Alfred-Hartwick clash, we think the most well-liked occurence of the evening was the half- gara placed seventh; John Anderson,
Earl Bechard, Tom Myers, and Frank Schroeder, the rest of the Saxon squad, took the next four places.
Our aggressive squad made its char- acteristic, speedy start and by the end of the first half mile, five Saxon har- riers led the pack. At about the three mile mark, however, just before the course turns into the cemetery, Rea- gan passed Betlem and Rosser to take over fourth place. Though he finished strongly, he was never a threat to the three leaders.
Their second one-sided victory in two weeks, the varsity team meets their big test against highly touted Colgate this Saturday at Hamilton.'
Morgan Establishes New Track Record
John Morgan again lowered the rec- ord for our 2.5 mile freshman cross country course last Saturday in lead- ing the undefeated yearlings to a 19- 42 victory over a strong Buffalo Y. M.
C. A. team. Morgan shattered by forty one seconds the mark he set the week previous, reducing it from 14:08.3 to 13:21.5.
At the start of the race Walter of Buffalo sprinted out to take a twenty yard lead Morgan, running his usual steady race, gradually closed the gap.
He passed Walter at the 21^ mile
this year Alfred's band was in full dress, the fraternities were well rep- resented, Dan McGrew was shot, and to top it off, "Little Alf" showed up and demonstrated his great strength.
It was an entirely enjoyable half- time, but it should be a once-a-week affair, rather than once a month dur- ing the football season. So let's see more of it in the years to come.
Zeno Club To Hear Talk By Student On 'Normal'
"Why the Normal?" will be the title of a talk by H. Stanley Graf '49, at tonight's meeting of the Zeno club, according to Joan Berkman '49, club president. Following the talk and a question and answer period, refresh- ments will be served. Miss Berkman urged all members to attend, since several important motions will be dis- cussed and voted upon. The meeting will be held at 8:15 p.m. in room 20 of Physics Hall.
Buffalo ace by eight seconds. Nick Berg, Herb Shindler, captain for this meet, Bill Cordes and Sainmie Fame finished in a group thirty seconds lat- er to give Alfred five of the first six places. Riemer, Caldwell, Clark, White, Fisher and Boulton crossed the line in that order to complete the scoring for Alfred.
The team will meet the Cornell frosh
Archery Tourney Ends Saturday With Swain High Scorer
Janice Swain was high scorer at the Women's Fall Outdoor Archery Tournament held on Saturday. Carla Dohm was highest scorer at the 40 yard target with 167 points. Barbara Hurlburt and Judy Leondar tied on the 30 yard target with 132 points each. Louise Nelson, a beginner, shot 149 points on the 20 yard, and Janice Swain, advanced, shot 212 points on the 20 yard target. The women archers could choose their targets and received prizes for high scoring.
The sophomore-junior team has won the interclass Softball trophy, losing no games. The tournament ended Saturday with the senior team defeat- ing the freshmen 17 to 3. Ruth Macau- lay pitched for the winning team.
Three cheers for the cheerleaders.
They have done a fine job and worked hard under the able management of Carolyn Thomas. A cheerleading practice for men and women was held last night in the Men's Gym, and an- other is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 27 at 7 p.m. Tryouts will be held on Nov. 3 at 7 p.m in the Men's Gym.

Post officeBuffalo Edges Out Saxon Frosh 13-7
Last Friday night Little Alf's frosh eleven lost to the Buffalo U. freshmen, 13-6. The first half was a seesaw bat- tle in which neither team scored. Bel- mer's kicking held Buffalo at bay throughout the first half.
The first score of the game came in the third quarter when Alfred recov- ered a Buffalo fumble on Buffalo's 24 yard line. From there they advanced the ball to the 12 yard line for a first down. On the next play Buffalo was penalized to their own one yard line, and from there Dan Biro carried it for a touchdown on a quarter back sneak. The conversion failed, making the score 6-0.
Buffalo's first tally came in the next few plays after the Alfred kick- off with Dinnorenzio running to the 38 yard line. From there Hollands passed to Markey for the tying touch- down. The conversion was successful, pushing Buffalo ahead 7-6.
Another Buffalo score came in the fourth quarter when the Bulls inter- cepted an intended Alfred pass on our 36 and ran to the 26. Hollands again passed to Markey for the score. The conversion was unsuccessful and the score was 13-6. Alfred's attempts to tie the score were punsuccessful.
St. Lawrence 20-7, the largest margin over the Larries in their nine meet- ings.
This year, St. Lawrence has not shown up well at all, while Alfred has been hot and cold. This contest should be a very close affair, with Alfred a slight favorite.
Although the quarterback assign' ment is still in doubt, the rest of the starting lineup will be as follows:
Bill Hayden and Vic Saccofl Astoria, will play halfback; George Costaregni of Greenwich, Conn., is slated for fullback; Pete Keck of Pittsford, Vt.
will be at center; guards will be Jack Barron of Tarrytown and Paul Haley of Watertown; Roy Last of New Rochelle and John Shakshober of Manhasset will be at the tackle posi- tions, and ends will be Jim Maley of Kenmore and John Moro of North Tarrytowa
Delta stepped up the ladder by de- feating Ellis Manor 8-6, and Saxon Heights 7-0. The Aces gave the Schmoos a 6-0 victory.

Clyde Burke To Sing With Blue Barron's Orchestra At Festival
Clyde Burke will be the featured vocalist, Nov. 12, when Blue Barron and his orchestra play for the Harvest Ball from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. in the Men's Gym.
In addition to Clyde Burke. Blue *"
will have two female vocalists sing- H a r ve s t Ball B a n d L e a d e r
ing with his 14-piece orchestra which will play without intermission during the entire evening.
Blue began his career by playing in the various college outfits while at- tend Ohio University. The tendency of most bands to blare their way through melodies caused him to for- mulate his own style, a cross between Sammy Kaye and Guy Lombardo.
After graduation, Blue started his own business in Cleveland but decided to organize his own orchestra. Once the nucleus was formed, he worked to organize a musical library.
Soon after the band-'s appearance, Blue received a call from the owner of the Edison and Lincoln Hotel in New York City and received a long term contract.
From that time Blue and his band have made successful appearances throughout many parts of the country.
He came here from the Tea Gardens in New York City.

Footlight Club Work On Sets Nears End
The set for the Footlight Club pro- duction, "The Far-off Hills,' is nearly complete according to James Hall '50, the designer.
"The setting, which is an interior, is made up of stationary flat and dyed burlap drapery," said Hall, "and all the work must be done in spare time."
When asked the first step in de- signing a play set, the designer re- plied, "First, i read the play and make a set of drawings adequate for the mood of the play. Simplicity is the keynote of design," he added.
Hall designed the set for last year's production of "Antigone," and previ- ously assisted in the design of "Green Grow the Lilacs." He is assisted by Richard Tracy '49, construction head and Sergio dello Strologo '51 and Michael Lax '51 of the construction staff.
