Alumni Hall: to be renovated

President seeks funds to restore Alumni Hall

By Ginger Mills

Having served as the Alfred Academy's primary building, a University gymnasium, a meeting house and a theater for some 145 years, Alumni Hall has lain barren for nearly ten years.

But "new discussions"

about its restoration are now underway, President Neville has announced. "I spent most of yesterday talking to the president of one of the largest foundations of Amer- ica on a financing plan for the renovation of Alumni Hall,"

he said last Tuesday.

Neville told "this pres- ident" of the University's hopes for the "grand old building," that of an assemb- ly hall with lecture rooms and offices for the performing

arts division, he explained.

Neville and other Univer- sity officials, Robert Hey- wood, James Chapman, Eu- gene Slack, Dean Foxen and Provost Odle, have been making plans for the build- ing, Neville said, along with

"architectural consultants."

They are trying to deter- mine what must be done to make Alumni Hall useable, Neville said.

But before any internal renovation can be done, he said, "the foundation and rdof problems must be solved to preserve the building, so consultants and architects tell us."

Although the precise cost has not been determined, financing will be costly, Neville explained. "We are

hoping for private donations.

Somehow we must find the resources to make Alumni Hall one of the important and useable structures on this campus."

As the oldest remaining building on the A.U. campus,

"the Old Academy," as Mrs.

Evelyn Openhym (a 1924 graduate) calls it, was the

"main feature" for many years. It was built in 1851 and was "the" Alfred Academy.

As a student, Mrs. Open- hym remembers it being used as a gymnasium. It had basketball courts, and was also used for proms and dances.

Over the next few years, as the student body grew, the need for better athletic facili-

Accredidation of Business School is turned down

By Lauren Stiefel

"If we were accredited, we would have been the smallest business school in the coun- try," said Wilford Miles, dean of the School of Business and Administration. Accredi- tion was the second choice in a list of options used to bolster the competitive status of the school, since figures predicted a 30 per cent drop in the Northeast of 18 year old college bound students for the decade 1980-90.

For reasons that were

"size-related," the School did not pass its first attempt at accredation by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business, said Miles. (The school is already accredited by middle States Association, and pro-

grams are registered with the NY State Education Depart- ment.)

"Too many majors for the small size of the faculty was the major sticking point," he said. Miles, however, is "not personally willing to drop majors" though accredition standards call for this.

"Our majors are legiti- mate. Graduates find em- ployment. Iam not apologet- ic aboutour majors," he said.

The AACSB did not condemn any majors as weak, but disapproved of some majors because only 2-3 faculty were involved, said Miles.

To achieve accredation by the AACSB is tough, said Miles. Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, and Ohio University are members of "quite an

elite group" accredited by AACSB.

As of July 1980, only 217 programs in the US are accredited by the AACSB, 67 of which are at the under- graduate level (with gradu- ate schools attached),"said Miles. "It is easier for undergraduate programs with graduate school facul- ties to get accredation."

In the last several years, less than 20 per cent of those who have applied to the AACSB have been accepted.

During 1979, 28 schools ap- plied, 12 were visited (the other 16 were not even visited), and only four were accepted, he said. If it was the quality of the program in question, we would not have

Dean proposes to dissolve Student Hearing Board

By Ginger Mills

Dean of Student Affairs, Donald King's proposal to dissolve the Student Hearing Board will soon go before President Neville to deter- mine whether it will be adopted as university policy.

Under the proposed sys- tem, all disciplinary deci- sions will be in the hands of the dean, instead of the standing judiciary body of six students, two faculty mem- bers and one administrator, he said-

King has made this propo- sal in an effort to speed up the judicial process, to protect the accused students and witnesses, he explained, and for the safeguarding of the student affairs office, which is ultimately responsible for any decisions that are made.

"Unless I protect these students, it will not create credibility in this office to assure students that if they speak to me, they will not have to be concerned about their personal welfare," King said.

Under the current system, the dean can authorize any penalty except suspension on his or her own, King said. In the event that suspension is recommended, the dean gives the student the option of leaving school with no record or to go before the Student Hearing Board. There the dean presents his/ her case;

witnesses and the accused are also free to speak.

The new system will not totally exclude student in- volvement, however. If an accused student is unhappy with the dean's decision she/ he ma y make an appeal to" the Ombudsman. The Ombudsman or the accused may have the case referred to the existing grievance com- mittee. The Ombudsman and/ or the committee must thenmake a recommendation to the dean, King explained.

But under both systems, the final word is in the hands of

the University president, upon the second appeal of the accused.

The new system would therefore eliminate one step in the complicated process, that of the student board, students would serve only as a requested appeals commit- tee. Even though there is an appeals board under the existing system, King said it has not been called upon in his 12years as dean of student affairs.

In seeking to provide great- er protection for the accused

student, the dean pointed out the delicacy of deciding upon a student's future. "Training and continuity in the system are needed," he said. This is one of the difficulties of having a board of students, which changes members every couple of years, he stressed.

And student board mem- bers agree that it is always a hard decision to make.

Former board chairperson, Nancy Popkin, said: "It is hard to say whether we are really qualified or not. We cannot really come up with conclusive evidence; we can only raise objections."

As much as she and other board members feel it impor- tant to have student input, they believe that Dean King's decision is a fair one.

"I don't particularly care for it, but in the situation that the dean is in, it is only fair, because he is getting burn- ed," said board member Howard Morganstern.

Popkin believes that the proposed student appeals board (the existing grievance committee) would still have a real influence on King's decision in the case of opposition. In most cases, the student board is in agreement with his decision anyway, she said.

But faculty board member, Mike Lakin, does not agree.

Any time a comment is-made on something that has al- ready been decided upon, the objection is not as influential as it would have been before a firm decision had been made, he said.

Even though he too under- stands the dean's position, Lakin thinks student partici- pation in the judiciary pro- cess is important for those actively involved as well as the student body as a whole.

"It is good for all students to know that other students are involved in the decision making process," he said.

Both Lakin and Morgan- stern also referred to the question of college life and its relation to the outside world.

They feel thatf the university should strive to keep its system as close to the one that surrounds it as possible, as part of the student learning process. The principle of a democratic hearing and that of having witnesses speak out should be a part of the University process, they agreed.

"I understand the decision;

but philosophically I do not want to see the system change," Morganstern said.

To the Editor,

I am writing in response to the article concerning the Physical Plant which appear- ed in the September 29 issue of the Fiat Lux. The main purpose of this rebuttal is to clear upseveral items of false information. I would like to begin by introducing myself as Neil Werfel. I am a Junior in the Business School and presently unemployed. This contradicts Jim Cullen's ar- ticle which states I am a Sophomore Art major work- ing for the Physical Plant.

Next I would like to clarify the comments which I alleg- edly made. I would like to make it clear that I made no comment regarding my job with the Physical Plant to the article's author; James Cul- len. I would also like to

address the comment Mr.

Cullen claimed I made, in his words: "The other workers look down on him (myself), making him feel uncomfort- able. This may be due to the fact that he is possibly receiving a better education and also because he is substantially younger." Not only did I not make any such comment, I see no basis for Mr.Cullen to assume that I did. I hold friendly relation- ships with most Physical Plant employees, and any casual or unfriendly relation- ship which I might hold would be due to normal personality differences and hold no cor- relation to level of education or age.

The last item I feel needs commenting on is the last paragraph of the article which states that the male employees of the Physical

Plant can be seen sitting "in the cafeteria drinking one too many cups of coffee." As a former employee of the Physical Plant I would like to see some factual data to base the assumption obviously be- ing made here upon, that being that coffee breaks are either too often or too long.

Many days during my em- ployment I recall working straight through my breaks, and I was not alone.

I am enraged to see the aforementioned items, being of little or no factual basis, to be published and circulated among the residents of this campus. If this rebuttal does not clear up these items, hopefully, the much neater than average appearance of our campus will.

Sincerely, Neil S. Werfel

President Carter signing bills concerning the

Carter signs bill concerning nuke and chemical wastes

By Jeff Lindenthal

On Wednesday, October 1, the Carter campaign tra- velled to Niagra Falls. The focus of the evening's address were two of western New York's most serious environ-

mental problems: nuclear waste storage at West Valley and the toxic chemical waste dump at Love Canal.

Signed into law was the

"West Valley Demonstration Project Act." This bill commits the federal govern- ment to foot the bill for 90 percent of the costs encount- ered in cleanup and solidifi- cation of about 560,000 gallons

of highly radioactive nuclear waste at the former waste reprocessing plant.

Estimated cost of cleanup is $225 million over nine years.

Carter termed the bill, which was sponsored by Senator Moynihan and Con- gressman Lundine, "an ex- ample of the forward looking responses we are developing to the problem of nuclear waste."

The Love Canal measure provides for a $7.5 million emergency grant to the state and a $7.5 million loan to be paid back with interest over 27 years. The state will provide an additional $5 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

New faculty members

Cornelius has high hopes for the performing arts

Frank Cornelius shows student stage plans for the next show

By Todd Dezen

Frank Cornelius, assistant professor of speech and drama, is a new teacher in the Performing Arts Pro- gram. He received his bachelor of arts «degree in English and Theater from Northern Kentucky Univer- sity and his master of fine arts« degree in technical theater and design from the University of Cincinnati.

Although Cornelius has never had a regular teaching job, he did have a two year experience as a "Graduate Teaching Assistant" at the University of Cincinnati, and he is very excited to help Alfred build its Performing Arts Program.

Asked how he felt about Alfred, he said, "As from a geographical standpoint, Al- fred is perfect in size and has a beautiful location. And as far as the academic role is concerned, I like the homog- eneity of the institution,

New instructor working on criminal justice thesis

By Diane Dingui an

For the student of social sciences at Alfred University there is an "unknown" ele- ment in the curriculm this semester. His name is Wil- liam M. Hall, and he is the most recent addition to the faculty of this department.

Hall, his wife, Lynne and two-year-old daughter, Rene, have resided at 83 N. Main St.

in Alfred since moving to this area in August.

The decision to come to Alfred University presented unknown elements for Hall as well— enough that he declined the position when it was first offered.

Having taught sociology at Tompkins County Com- munity College, TC-3, as it is commonly called, for several years, Hall expected to re- ceive tenure there this year.

Coming to Alfred would mean begining again.

He knew faculty expecta- tions would also differ. At TC-3 it was not unusual for Hall to carry a 21-hour classload, leaving time for little other than teaching and class preparation. Alfred University offered a lighter teaching schedule but stress- ed research and publication is his field

For Hall, this personal challenge was the decisive factor. "Feeling comfort- able," he states, "happens only when you are working towards something, rather than when you have achieved it."

This lack of complacency is apparent in Hall's enthus- iasm for his subject and in his educational background.

Currently working towards his

doctorate in criminal justice, he and a twin brother were the first males in several generations of Halls to graduate from high school. FVom there he attended a local community college, then continued his under- graduate studies at Geneseo State College, working sum-

mers and off-semesters at a foundry to achieve his goal.

While working towards his masters in sociology at Syr- acuse University, Hall had his first experience in teach- ing as a student instructor.

Form this experience, the reward of finding his enthus- iasm for learning being transfered into his students played an important part in his choice of teaching as a career.

Nor is Hall's enthusiasm limited to academics. Stating

because the students care about their academics and other people. Also, the college really cares about their faculty which means a lot to me, because I came from a Universilty of 38,000 students, where a faculty member is just a number."

Cornelius was accepted by four other universities yet chose Alfred because of its small size and remote area.

Also, he was first interviewed at Alfred and accepted here before he had heard from the other schools. But Cornelius says, "I would still have chosen Alfred."

Presently Cornelius is teaching two courses, Public Speaking and Technical'The- ater. He is also offering two independent studies, one in Stage Management and the other in Scenic Design. He hopes the department will allow him to offer two other courses in Stage Lighting and Producing a Play starting

next semester. Cornelius has also built a new workshop for the Scenic Design course.

In the upcoming play, "An Enemy of the People," Corn- elius will design and build the stage setting, operate and set up the lighting, and make the costumes. The play opens on Friday, Oct. 31, at 8 p.m. in Harder Hall and will also be staged on Saturday, Nov. 1, and Sunday, Nov. 2, at 8 p.m.

Cornelius' immediate goals he says are "to establish and organize the technical aspect of the drama department, which will be geared to send students to competitive grad- uate schools and into active professional roles." He wants to build a nucleus of students who will follow the program through until grad- uation and ultimately to place Alfred in a competitive field for sending students to grad- uate schools.

Cornelius likes the idea of

Professor and wife seek I life of self-sufficiency

Associate Professor of Mathematics, Gerald Wilson

fi Dr. Gerald E. Wilson, new a> associate professor of math, O has replaced Dr. Robert C.

8 Williams, Jr., for the 80-81

§ school year. Williams is on leave.

Wilson attended undergrad- uate and graduate school at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, where he received a B.S. in Math, an M.S. in Nuclear Engineering, and a PhD in Plasma Physics.

Following graduate school he received a post doctoral fellowship at NASA's God- dard Space Flight Center near Washington.

Here he continued work on the subject of his doctoral

thesis, studying the activity of particles in electro'magne- tic containment fields for thermonuclear fusion reac- tions.

After finishing work at Goddard, Wilson farmed in Pennsylvania until joining the faculty at nearby Ship- pensburg State College.

He left to serve as a research associate at Cornell University where he de- signed, supervised construc- tion of, and experimentally analysed the efficiency of solar greenhouses.

Wilson returned to Ship- pensburg where he taught math and physics prior to coming to Alfred.

Wilson has owned land in

the Alfred area for some time, and this was a factor in his decision to join the faculty.

He and his wife live in a cabin and enjoy being as self sufficient as possible.

They are supplied by spring water and grow a large portion of their own food, including grain which they mill themselves.

Wilson says he enjoys Alfred very much, and finds the atmospere warm and receptive.

He is particularly impres- sed by the personal interest taken in students', progress by the faculty, which may per- haps be less stressed by larger institutions.

Cultural Corner Opera singer rated highly in Alfred performance

By Jeff Lindenthftl •.I. m .it i i< i . # - 1«..:,

A soprano in the valley is a rarity indeed. For those unacquainted with opera, Miss Yarnell's concert pro- vided a diverse introduction.

Accompanied by virtuoso pianist Mikael Eliason, the concert opened with a com- position by Christoph Willi- bald Gluck, a composer recognized as the father of Italian Grand Opera.

"Malinconia," a sentimen- tal piece by popular 19th century composer Vincenzo Bellini, was followed by "E Se Un Giorno Tornassi" by Ottorino Respighi.

On the lighter side, "Brin- dis"( drinking song) by Giu- seppi Verdi narrated a lover's lament as the disheartened- who found solace with "You-

life of the senses, delight of the heart..." WINE.

The first half of the program concluded with "Se- ven Popular Spanish Songs"

by Manuel de F a lia.

Regardless of the variety of song and language employed, the emotion intrinsic in an operatic performance is clearly transmitted from So- prano to audience.

Pianist Eliason provided excellent support, a real compliment to Yarnell's style.

The entire second half of the concert, "La Voix Hu- maine" by Francis Poulenc, from the play of the same name by Jean Cocteau, was essentially a solo for Yarnell.

Attention was focused en- tirely on Yarnell and her stage set The set consisting

of a lavish couch (constructed of two-by-fours and a foam mat), table, telephone and a new oriental rug, were less than marginal.

Undaunted, Yarnell per- formed the piece originally composed in French for full orchestra, in English with a piano rendition. This concert marked the first time she performed the piece in En- glish.

Although a bit repititious, Yarnelldid an excellent job of delivering the play to the average Alfred opera goer.

Overall the evening's con- cert was a big success. Joan Patenaude Yarnell and Mik- ael Eliason displayed a cohe- siveness that comes only after many years of practice.

Having performed the world over the duo may now add Alfred to their repertoire.

Bored games discussed

By Lauren Stiefel

"My last bean ended in my cala," said Bill Lacourse, associate professor of glass science. Out of context the statement sounds like non- sense, but at Wednesday's Bergren Forum, "Board Games: 5000BC to 1980," it was most appropriate.

That statement refers to

"Mancala," one of six types of board games described by Lacourse. Originating in northwest Africa, Mancala is the oldest game in the world.

The game board looks like half of a box with squares made inside it. It is of the

"count and capture" sort, the object of which is "to capture beans and put them in a storage area."

Judging from the type of

Mancala played, it was con- ceivable to trace a slave's ancestry during the 19th century, said Lacourse.

While four-rank Mancala is

"Idi Amin's second favorite game," elementary schools use it to teach counting," he said.

Ugandan "chieftains would play Mancala when making important decisions." How- ever, women were not ac- cepted as casual partners in the game-playing. If a man lost to a woman it was a social disgrace. Mothers would not allow their daughters to play before puberty for fear their breasts would not develop and the prospect of marriage would have to be forsaken, said Lacourse.

an avid interest in almost any sport, he added that he enjoys them more as a participant than as a spectator. Jogging is also a part of his daily routine.

It is from his interest in what he terms "unconven- tional literature" that Hall draws his philosophy of life.

An egotist, he feels that our existence in the universe is insignificant, rather, the sig- nificance of life is only to ourselves. For Hall, a passage from Kurt Vonne- gut's "Jailbird" best express- es this understanding of life,

"we are here for no purpose, unless we can invent one. Of that I am sure. The human condition in any expanding universe would not have been altered one iota, if, rather than live as I have, I have done nothing but carry a rubber ice cream cone from closet to closet for sixty years."

Bill Hall will carry much more than a rubber ice cream cone to his fellowman. Of that you can be sure.

Rod Brown directing students in Marat/Sade at Alfred University in Nov. 1971, was one of the many plays directed by himover his 31 years here. Upper left, Mr. Brown and his former student, Robert Klein, Reunited after many years.

F

Brown earned

By Tony Mastrogiorgio

Many eulogies have been heard since the death of Rod Brown almost two months ago. Former colleagues, notably Mel Bernstein and Fred Gertz, offered plati- tudes which, in the light of Alfred's loss, were appro- priate.

However, with platitudes we risk losing the man:

Brown's contributions, his energy, his knowledge, his humor, were concrete mani- festations of a unique life shaped by our common his- tory.

Brown's father was a Methodist minister. For most of Rod's life before the war his family traveled to many small towns throughout Kan-

sas, never settling permane- ntly until reaching Winifield, the site of Southwestern College, the school Brown would later attend.

Brown's family weathered the depression: the ministry offers steady work, if not luxury. Rod, as he grew into

was World War II veteran;

his teens, began to work at

two drama master's degrees

odd jobs and contributed to the family as they criss- crossed the desolate, depres- sion-ridden state. Images of the massive dust storms sweeping across the plains made a permanent impres-

sion on Brown.

As the 1930's drew to a close, Brown's father was appointed a District Super- intendant for the Methodist church, bringing the family to Winifield.

Southwestern is a Metho- dist college; it therefore seemed a natural step for Brown to entër there. His undergraduate degree was in history; he also became very active in the student theatre.

It was here that he first discovered his love for drama.

The World War, as it did to so many others, changed the course of Brown's life. The formation of Am erica's - last great citizen's army took millions from their homes and routine lives and opened

to them undreamed-of possi- bilities. Brown finished his degree and enlisted in the Air Force.

Luck played a role.

Brown's orders were mixed with another man's and brown found him self a ssigned to a base in England. It was at this base that Brown met his wife. June E. Brown is currently the Head Librarian at Herrick Library.

"I was a Red Cross volunteer and they asked a bunch of us to go to this dance at the American base and there I met him," said June.

"I was always rather glad that they mixed his orders!"

Brown, a bombardier, made lieutenant and was awarded the Distniguished Flying Cross. He was in the service for five years.

Rod and June returned to Winifield after the war and Rod began work as a high school teacher. "Winifield was our first home. I was the only war bride within a fifty mile radius so I was some-

thing of a rarity. People came over for miles to see me!" Her accent was a major attraction. "I had to learn a whole new vocabu- lary, like soda-jerk."

Brown soon moved to Denver to complete an M.A.

For June it was a chance to be with her family again in Suffolk. Rod's experiences in England were reflected in his dress and mannerisms; they also expanded his knowledge of drama. Brown's degree was granted in 1956, after- which they returned to Al- fred.

been visited, said Miles;

"But there is no way we can call this a victory."

Back in 1974-5, in order to distinguish Alfred from the multiplicity of business schools, the establishment of a graduate school took first priority. President Leland Miles (no relation to the dean) rejected the idea, which led the faculty in the direction of accredation to

"try to demonstrate to people in Alfred community the quality of the program," he stated.

The attempt was made in 1979 for two major reasons.

First, the faculty was engag- ed in an impressive number of research projects, the quality of which could not be sustained over an unduly long time period, said Miles.

Secondly, the AACSB was on the threshold of changing its criteria, a change that would have probably lessened Al- fred's chances of acceptance.

As of "Fall 1980, the AACSB has^pecific size criteria, which they did not have

before,"he added. Although he recognized that size was one of their problems, he was never told by theAACSB what size was acceptable. The new size requirements, however, might have really made Alfred's chances slim.,

An estimated $6,000 was needed for the accredation process. A grandfather of a recent Alfred graduate pro- vided a larger sum, of which the accredation funds was a part.

For the moment, Miles is willing not to press the accredation scheme. Other options are open; a graduate program of some sort, in specialized areas- not a general MBA program, or, the school may choose a courst of action moving them farther away from accreda- tion possibilities, such as additional new majors.

Concerning the latter op- tion, Miles crystallized his opinion on the standards of the AACSB, "if we decide the AACSB should not dictate to us, then we'll go with what we think is best."

worsened, Alfred University took advantage of the rare opportunity to say a belated thank-you: Rod Brown was made a full professor.

To his friends, Brown's death signified the loss of a unique, kind man. To the students, his death signified a far greater loss.

Brown's life typified the experiences of a generation forced to become wordly,

forced to go beyond lim its and see changes never dreamed possible. They are an important link between con- temporary values and the values of an older time.

It is not for nostalgia's sake that we, the students of Alfred mourn the loss of Rod Brown.

Rather, it is the realization that a generation is slowly coming to pass, a generation which serves to remind us of our history in a concrete fashion. In the face of such a loss, we can only thank Rod Brown for having shared himself with us.

Ostrower compares U. of Pennsylvania life to that of Alfred

By Mary Mastrogiorgio

Gary Ostrower, associate professor of history at Alfred University, was on a sabat- tical leave last year. His leave took him to the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania where he taught seminar and lecture courses.

Ostrower received a call from the University, offering him a position there and accepted for a number of reasons, one of which was a need to get out of Alfred, NY for awhile.

When asked to state differ- ences between the two uni- versities, Ostrower first stat- ed the more obvious differ- ences.

The University of Pennsyl- vania has a student body which numbers approximat- ely 16,000. It is also located in

Philadephia.

Ostrower went on to say that the atmosphere of Penn- sylvania was "quite the contrary" to that of Alfred, describing it as "fairly im- personal."

"I was surprised at the degree to which Pennsylvan- ia undergraduates were en- thusiastic about the school.

¡There was a very low attrition rate and a high degree of expressed satisfac- tion," he said.

Ostrower described the stu- dents at Pennsylvania as

"highly motivated." The University of Pennsylvania had a "great deal of peer support," he said. There are a large variety of programs, a great number of majors, and a good liberal arts school.

One great distinction be- tween Pennsylvania and Al- fred, is that the University of Pennsylvania is "more aca- demically inclined" and dis- played "excessive competi- tiveness."

Ostrower felt, however, that Alfred students are academically comparable to Pennsylvania students.

The faculty at University of Pennsylvania appears de- tached from the students, he said. He was surprised to learn this was so mainly because most of the students at the University of Pennsyl- vania had never spoken to a teacher outside of the class- room. This was quite a contrast to Alfred, where the students are the main con- cern of the faculty and the doors are always open to them, said Ostrower.

The advising system at the University of Pennsylvania was "rough- not much advice about programs, careers or

social issues," he said.

Overall, Ostrower felt that

Study of local Lake Keuka is forum topic

the University of Pennsylvan- ia was an excellent school, with a first class faculty and library.

It contains a "kind of pride which contributes to high morale."

However, he feels there's a tendency to idealize Ivy League education. Alfred does compare to the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania but Alfred students don't fully appreciate the academic op- portunities available to them here.

Ostrower concluded that he would not hesitate to recom- mend the University of Penn- sylvania to a student, but feels that any student not certain of what he would like to do, should consider Alfred.

Here, there is the high concern for students , close association of faculty and student body, he said.

By Tony Mastrogiorgio The title of Gaylord Rough's Bergren Forum,

"To Study A Lake," sounded like the title to a mystery story. Indeed this impression was not far off the mark, although the image of a spy novel, complete with gadgets, would have been even more accurate.

Oh, the real source of the title? Rough explained that every time he and a team of students left Alfred with the boat hitched to the car, he was asked where he was going. "To study a lake,"

he'd reply.

The lake is Keuka Lake, chosen for its convenient location (only an hour's drive), its size, and the fact that it's so scenic.

More importantly, studies of this lake have been sporadic and unsystamatic.

All indications are thatKueka is health, but there are some clues that more care must be taken in the future.

One such indication is the increase of intestinal bac- teria, a sign of pollution.

the fruit of the study of the biological life and the physic- al action of the lake.

Aiding in this is an array of equipment which allows water samples to be taken at particular levels, giving a more accurate reading.

Water samples are pri- marily used for plankton counts,oxygen level charts, and bacteria identification.

Other equipment is used to extract earth from the bottom of the lake. This is done to examine the rate that the lake is filling with silt The rate is relatively slow, said Rough.

The Alfred crew uses four boats: one cruiser, one out- board, and two pontoon boats.

These give them a mobile testing platform, allowing full study of the lake.

Rough would like to study the lake year-round, but it freezes over from December to February, limiting the teams to only a few experi- ments.

The study is, in part, supported by the Keuka Lake Shore Property Owners Asso- ciation, but the study had begun long before they be- came involved, said Rough.

ties and a bigger place to hold weekly assembly arose, which was usually held in Kenyon Hall (now the Cam- pus Center), Mrs. Openhym explained.

During those years, student and faculty members would come together each week to hear about the latest events from President Davis or perhaps an outside speaker.

With assigned seats and attendence required, Mrs.

Openhym said it was "always intellectually stimulating,"

and made one feel "like a part of a whole university body."

In 1926 a new gymnasium was built, and "Old Chapel Hall" (another term for Alumni Hall) underwent ren- ovation. It became the new assembly hall, housing all 500 Alfred students. By the fall of 1927, it was ready for dedica- tion; it was then that it adopted the name "Alumni Hall" (from the Fiat Lux by J. Nelson Norwood).

In 1932, movie equipment was installed, and Alumni Hall also became the campus theater. It continued as such until nine years ago; it was declared unsafe because the roof rafters were deteriorat- ing.

Another hope for Alumni Hall is the return of the morning bell, Mrs. Openhym pointed out. When she was a student, the bells in "the Old Academy" tower would ring each morning at 7:50 to remind students to get mov- ing toward their 8 a.m.

The Chapel Bell

Oft in the whirl of busy life, Weary of all its care and strife,

The heart turns back to the long ago

And memory pictures come and go;

Old time voices are heard again,

Songs of pleasure and sighs of pain,

But memory has no rarer spell

Than wakes at the sound of the Chapel Bell.

Ding dong. Ding dong From morn till night and all day long,

Kling klong, kling klong Year after year the same old song.

Wh o that has dwelt in the classic halls

Within these old Academy walls,

Where wisdom flows in spark- ling streams

And the sun of science so brightly beams,

Where wit and mirth go hand in hand

And elequence speaks in accents grand,

Oh who has not heard the mournful knell

Rung out by the old Academy Bell?

Ding dong. Ding dong From morn till night and all day long,

Kling klong, kling klong Year after year the same old song.

And now, once more the well known sounds

Across the quiet vale resound With noisy clang the bell is rung

And such a song as this is sung,

"Ye lazy students hasten along.

Ring, ding, ding-dong, dang,

dong."

And the students hasten to prayers, for well

They have learned to obey the call of the Bell.

Ding dong. Ding dong From morn till night and all day long,

Kling klong, kling klong Year after year the same old song.

But 'tis seldom now that we hear its tones

As forth in the busy world we go, Its joys, its cares and its toil to know;

But ever anon as we pfar Still follow the light of fortune's star

We catch, like the sound of some fairy shell

The echoing tones of the Chapel Bell.

Ding a ding dong. Ding ding dong

As it tinkles out its cheerful song

Ring a ding dong, ring a ding dong

Re-echo the days when we were young.

Saxtons display a spectacular performance during Parent's Weekend

Alfred defeated at Ithaca

By Jeffery Her in an

Despite a courageous effort by the Alfred Saxons they were defeated by the number- one-banked division three football team, the Ithaca Bombers, by a score of 41-23.

The score, however, was not indicative of Alfred's performance.

The first quarter had no score due to the toughness of the Alfred defense. The defense began to weaken in the second quarter allowing Ithaca to score 21 points, largely due to Alfred's seem- ingly non-existant secondary.

Ithaca scored two touch- downs soley because of their passing game.

The other touchdown was a result of a sustained drive caped by a two yard plunge by Bob Ferrigno the Bomber running back.

Alfred got its first touch- down in the second quarter, Schuster to Pietrosanto, 25

yard pass completion.

Alfred recovered an Ithaca fumble which resulted in a twenty five yard field goal by Doug Johnson.

Ithaca retaliated with a quick touchdown pass from Tim Connely to Terry Janvie.

Due to a great individual effort by Matt Sullivan, Alfred began the fourth quarter with a sustained drive which culminated into an Alfred touchdown.

Ithaca scored again after an unsuccessful on side kick attempt by Alfred.

Alfred's offense bounced back again with a one yard quarterback sneak by Bobby Schuster.

This play was set up by the fine running of Gary Fofi and Bob Pietrosanto.

Ithaca's final score came on an interception by John Bertino who was untouched by Alfred defenders.

A.U.'s men's soccer crushes "Ike" 4 to 1

Saxons beat 'Squeeze'

By Dave Gerhardt The Alfred University Sax-

ons rallied in the closing seconds to defeat the prev- iously unbeaten Canisius Griffins 23-19 Saturday night before a Parent's weekend crowd of 5,500 at Merrill Field.

Trailing 19-16 with less than one minute remaining in the game, Alfred moved the ball to the Canisius two yard line when quarterback Bobby Schuster hit split end Matt Sullivan with a 35 yard pass.

Two plays later, Gary Foti dove one yard for the winning touchdown.

The win boosted Alfred's record to 3-0 and extended their winning streak to nine games. - Ithaca College, Alfred's next opponent, was the last team to beat them.

Doug Johnson gave the Saxons an early 3-0 lead by kicking a 46 yard field goal in the first quarter.

On Canisuis' next posses- sion, Alfred defensive back Pete DeRose intercepted a pass and returned it 22 yards

to the Canisuis 20. A few plays late, halfback Bob

"Fugi" Pietrosanto scored on a 3 yard run to give Alfred a 9-0 lead.

Canisius bounced back in the second quarter to score two touchdowns and take a 12-9 (both P.A.T.'s failed) halftime lead.

Their first touchdown, a two-yard run by fallback Tom Jerris, came after they re- covered a fumble at the Alfred 27. Their second touchdown, another short run by Jerris, capped a 79 yard drive that was highlighted by the passing of quarterback Kevin Karwath.

Toward the end of the third quarter, defensive back Brad Jacobs recovered a Canisius fumble near midfield, and the Saxons, sparked by Schus- ter's passes to Sullivan and tight end Dave Lester, pro- ceeded to regain the lead as Schuster sneaked over from the one on the first play of the fourth quarter. Johnson's successful P.A.T. made the score 16-12.

With about eight minutes left in the game, Canisius began marching downfield behind the passing of Kar- wath but the Saxon defense dug in when the Griffins got inside the Saxon 20. With 2: 25 left on the clock, Alfred appeared to have stopped their drive when Karwath threw an incomplete pass on 4th down; however, a rough- ling, the passer penalty gave Canisius a first down at the Alfred six. Then with less than two minutes remaining in the game, Karwath threw a 6 yard touchdown pass to A1 Nalbone, giving Canisius a 19-16 (Bourne's P.A.T. was good).

After returning the kickoff to their 37, Alfred moved to the Canisius 37 on a 11 yard pass comletion from Schuster to Pietrosanto and a 15 yard personal foul penalty against Canisulius. Schuster and Sullivan then combined for a 35yard gain that set up Foti's touchdown and brought a roar of approval from the Alfred fans.

Jones wins Grand Prix

By D. Geraci We're talking about cars

here. Fast, expensive, ab- normal cars. We're talking 200 mph fast and $150,000 expensive.

The winning driver of this year's race, and overall champion, Alan Jones, had an average speed of about 125 mph in the 199-mile race.

This isn't too bad except that he shifted about 1,100 times over the 11-turn course.

Furthermore, at the start of the race, Jones was forced off the track, into the grass, on the very first turn. He then drove back on to the track and continued the race, 8 places back from his starting

position.

Bruno Diacamelli, who had the pole position at the start, retained it until the 37th lap.

Jones who had by then worked his way to second position, led from that point on, after Diacamelli retired with electrical problems.

Carlos Reutemann, Jones' teamate for Savdi-Williams, finished second; Didiers Proni of Gitane-Ligien 3rd and Mario Andretti finished for the first time in the points this year, at sixth place.

Jones had already clinched the World Driving Champoin- ship a week earlier, by winning the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal and didn't

really need to race for the title.

The Champ Jones, is a competitor who likes a good race. For him, there is no difference between having to race and wanting to race

At one time, Jones was entering his privately-owned Forum la One cars in competi- tion. This meant pulling the car from track to track and being pit chief, head mechan- ic and driver — all at the same time. There are 6 mechanics and a handful of other pittmen in the hier- archy that are paid by the Saudi national airline and other Saudi interests. They
