by Howard Mendes

Freshman indoctrination was highlighted this year by a re- organized Orientation Week program which included a beanie pre- sentation ceremony, a football game and a lighter schedule of testing than in previous years.

All students who did not receive their FIATS in the mail this week, can pick up a copy in the office of the personnel deans in Greene Hall. If you take your meals or live in a dormitory, fraternity, or sorority house, the FIAT will be left in the lounge of your resi- dence.

"Well, it only happens once.1' president of W1SG, were co-chairmen

in planning a busy week of activities to acquaint the new students with the Alfred campus.

The beanie ceremony was initiated by Connie Lefkowitz, president of Blue Key, the first day of Orientatioa Week. The frosh took the following oath in Howell Hall after receiving their beanies:

''We the Class of 1&59, promise to uphold and abide by the rules of the Frosh Bible, to maintain the Alfred

"hello' spirit, to treat with respect all upperclassmen and faculty members, to wear our beanies from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and' at all home athletic events from freshman week to Homecoming. We also pledge to carry our Frosh Bibles at all times and to memorize the Alma Mater and all freshman rules."

The traditional freshman banquet was postponed until the Brick dining room and kitchen will be completed later this semester. The tea for parents and new students was held Sep- tember 18 in Howell Hall. Monday the new students were taken on tours of the campus by the upperclass ad- visors. The tours were instituted ear- lier this year to acquaint the freshmen with the campus sooner.

The fireside chats that were so successful last year will be held' in faculty homes October 30. There will T)e five Monday night lectures for the

freshmen with the emphasis on study habits and academic success.

The frosh also had an informal dance last Tuesday in the South Hall gym. Chaplain and Mrs. Bredenberg were in charge of the entertainment.

Dr. Htomer Wilkins played his guitar and led the group in singing folk songs.

Wednesday, the freshmen attended an activities assembly presented by the Footlight Club to introduce various campus clubs and organizations to the new students. At night there was a square and round dance given by the Alfred Outing Club.

All freshmen registered for courses Thursday and classes began Friday for all students. The Brockport game climaxed Orientation Week activities Saturday night.

Housing facilities at Alfred are better than those of any previous year.

Cannon and Barresi Halls are supple- menting the two older men's resi- dences, Bartlett and Rodies, in pro- viding housing for the incoming students. With the addition of the new women's dormitory which will be completed in January, women's housing will be expanded greatly.

The Class of '59 is well prepared to face the rigors and the advantages of being the anchormen on the Alfred campus and carrying forward the tra- ditions of Alfred University in pur- suing a college education.

A Senate Welcome

On behalf of the Student Senate and the student body, I would like to take the opportunity to welcome you to Alfred University. I realize that the past few days have probably been quite confusing to you. Don't worry though — as time goes on you will get a good hold on the situation.

During the few days you have been on the Alfred campus you have shown a great deal of enthusiasm. I hope this enthusiasm will not only continue but increase.

I think that as you become better acquainted with the Alfred campus vc<u will find that Alfred University offers many opportunities' to you. The opportunities are both curricular and extra-curricular. If it is at all pos- s.ible, I hope that you will take advantage o fthese opportunities.

Basically, you are here to get an education — in the arts, engineering, business and other professional fields.

Whatever you do, don't lose sight of this fact, don't neglect your studies!

With a little planning and1 some ra- tional thought, you should be able to take advantage of the many things that are Alfred University. Perhaps you have talent in dramatics, if so you will be interested in the Footlights Club. If you are interested in writing then the FIAT LUX or the "Alfred Review"' will appeal to you. Some of you will work on the "Kanakadea' wttich is the Alfred University year- book. ,

Many of you will participate in athletics. For those of you who have the ability, Alfred offers football, basketball, tennis and many other sports.

I hope that a lot of you freshman gals will go out for the cheerleading squad.

We also have man social activities during the year. The Inter-fraternity Ball, the "St. Pat's" Festival and the Winter Carnival to mention* just a few. In fact it is only £wo weeks" until the first big weekend — the "Military Ball" October 7 and "Homecoming"

October 8.

Many of you will become members

will discover this to be a wonderful part of your college life. The friends you will make in college will be life long friends.

You will have many opportunities available to you during the next four years at Alfred. Take advantage oi them and I'm sure college life will mean more to you.

I would also like to tell you about the Student Senate and thd work it does. The Senate is composed of representatives elected from all the housing units on campus —• fraternities, sororities and-dormitories. Those people you choose act as your representatives in this highest student gov- erning body. The orientation program which is now in progress was set up by the Student Senate and'administer- ed by the student orientation committee. The Frosh Bible' which you received is presented to you through the efforts of the Student Senate. The Senate is responsible for conducting the annual Campus Chest Drive as well as the Leadership Conference and the spring Moving-Up Day program. As time goes on you will become more aware of these activities and be able to participate in them.

In a very short time you freshmen will be given an opportunity to elect Senate representatives and freshman class officers. I hope you will give these elections some serious thought.

I hope too, that you will find the next four years at Alfred University en- joyable and worth while. The very best of luck to you.

Rifle Trophy To Alfred ROTC

Shaw's "Saint Joan" To Start Forum Season of Music and Plays

by Bert Katz

Professor C. D. Smith and the Forum Committee of Alfred Uni- versity take pleasure in announcing the Forum schedule for the coming year.

Only three short seasons have elapsed since the debute of the

"Canadian Players Ltd." and they have won international acclaim.

The group itself has grown not only

Conditioning Key To 50-0 Score;

Saxon Steamroller Smears State

by Al Siegel

Running up the fourth highest totals any Alex Yunevich coached team has ever scored, the Saxons trounced Brockport State Teachers College 50-0 before an overflow crowd of 5100 at Merrill Field Sat- urday.

Not since '51 when AU shut out Brooklyn College 61-0 has t h * Warrior grid machine had such a deciding shutout victory. Only two other scores have been higher than this one in the 15 year career of Coach Yunevich. In '52 Brockport was topped 52-6 and the following year RPI fell at the hands of the Yunevichmen 55-7.

Coach Yunevich let his entire squad play and seemed to be trying to keep the score down, but the Purple and Gold could do no wrong and poor Brockport didn't even come close to doing anything right. From the press box one factor seemed to be one of the biggest Saxon advantages. This was the conditioning! of the Alfred team. They seemed to get better as play progressed, while Brockport

from the presence of such stars as Irene Worth and James Mason but from the performances of an acting ensemble which has been called "the best classical comedy company on the North-American continent," by Brooks Atkinson of the New York Times. The repertory is continuously expanding;

the group has presented such classic productions as "Peer Gynt" of Ibsen, Shakepearean drama and George Bernard Shaw's "Saint Joan." The presentation to Alfred University October 25 will be the late George Bernard Shaw's "Saint Joan."

Late November will feature Hermann Godes, pianist, acclaimed by three transcontinental tours in North Amer- ica as well as western Europe as a brilliant technician.

In February the Forum Committee

"will present the American Chamber -Group under the direction of Robert Scholz. The American Chamber orchestra was originally known as the Mozart Orchestra. Robert Scholz, the director of the orchestra, matured as a musician in the shadow of Mozart's birthplace in Salzburg. He has become a profound student of the master's works and he is today an outstanding Mojart authority. He edited Mozarfs piano works for the Universal Edition and in 1937 was made honorary professor of the Mozarteum. Mozarf's own piano, now one of the prized treasures of the museum, was restored for Mr. Scholz and was played by him in the Archbishop's palace each day

•of the Salzburg Festival in 1937 and

at a special concert broadcast throughout Europe and the United States. Mr.

Scholz in 1950, was awarded the Bruckner Medal by the Anton Bruck- ner Society of America for his outstanding New York performance of Bruckner's orchestral and choral works.

Howard Taubman of the New York Times has said of the group: "It caught not only the spirit of Mozart's work but the flavor of performance in the palaces of the nobility in the com- poser's Time." Virgil Thomson of the New York Herald Tribune commented on the exactiture of the group's exe- cutioual details. Critics have compared Mr. Scholz's group with the famous Klyddnbourne performances in England. Joseph Szigeti, famous violin soloist has been heard with the American Chamber Group..

The final forum probram will present in April a famous folksinger.

Fiat Applicants Interviewed

The FIAT LUX received 79 ap- plications from freshmen to work on its staff. Applicants were inter- viewed by the editors. Using the interviews as a basis, about 50 applicants were invited to the first organizational meeting which was held Sunday night.

The 50 applicants will compete, by means of their work on the FIAT during the next few weeks, for positions on the permanent staff.

In the first year that ROTC has sent a full compliment of Cadets to Summer Training Camp, Alfred Uni- versity ROTC cadets ran off with the Warrior of the Pacific Rifle Trophy.

Presented by the University of Ha- waii, the trophy is awarded to the institution that records the highest average on the qualification range with the Ml rifle. Eight trophies are presented each year, one to each of the Seven Army Areas (Six Army Areas are in the continental U.S. and the seventh is in Hawaii) and the top trophy to the school that scores the highest average in all of the army areas.

The First Army Area, of which Al- fred is a member, comprises New England, New York. New Jersey and part of Pennsylvania and sent 29 schools to its camp at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Of the 27 institutions that qualified for the trophy (you must have at least 20 men at camp to do so) most of them had .22 rifle ranges for years and some even had access to Ml ranges. Last year was the first year that Alfred had a rifle range and so was practically the least experi- enced school at camp as far as ac- tual firing was concerned.

Work has already started for a re- peat performance next year. The rifle range under Greene Hall will be open- ed October 25. Any member of ROTC who is interested in firing on the team is urged to make an appearance at the range as soon after that date as possible. Sgt. Thomas, last year's rifle team coach, stated that no member of the team has been selected and that all spot3 on the team are open to

Library Plans

Near Completion

A special University committee composed of Dr. Roland Warren, chairman, Dr. Burdick, Dr. Bernstein, Dr.

Nease, Mr. Kruzas, Mr. Mitchell, Mr.

Lebohner, Mr. Kenyon and President Drake has been hard at work on plans for the new John P. Herrick Memorial Library. In collaboration with Carl Ade of Rochester, the University ar- chitect, the finishing touches are now being made on what appears to be an excellent plan. Provision has been made for stack space accomodating ap- proximately 135,000 volumes, 42 car- rels, reference periodical and reading rooms, seminar and study rooms, work space for the processing of books, a faculty reading and lounge room and other facilities.

Although the new library will be primarily designed for use by Univer- sity students and faculty its resources will be freely available to all citizens of the village of Alfred. A particular feature will be a room where books for children can be shelved and attrac- tively displayed.

The starting date of construction has not been set but it is anticipated that work on the new building will start within the next few months.

seemed to just die as things got worse for them.

Beginning

Brockport won only one thing, the toss of the coin and elected to receive. With John Zluchoski out be- cause of an injury, John Dennis, the game captain, kicked off for the vic- tors. Bob Ellis received it for the visitors on the 26. Ellis got one yard on the next play as Al Bilanski stopped him. On the following play AU was on the move as John DiSantis stopped Brockport by recovering an Ellis' fumble on the 25.

Getting some nice blocking, Jim Ryan raced for 21 yards for the Sax- ons on his first running play and the Warriors first offensive play of the season. The second play gave AU its first TD as Ryan raced thru tackle at' the two minute mark of the game. Moresco's pass to Abbott for the point after touchdown was incom- plete.

After Brockport could make no gains on their offensive play AU got the ball. Making no headway quarterback Al Moresco decided; to punt and punt he did. — Kicking from his own 24, the ball rolled dead on the State 8 yard line, a 68 yard punt.

Bockport got nowhere on their first try from the 8. On their second try they got to the 10, but fumbled with Jay Abbott falling on it. Jim Ryan then ran around end to the 4, and Bill Chaffee picked up 2 through center. On the next play Ryan ran through right tackle for the second AU marker. He picked theJ91andedn AU marker. He kicked the extra point to make it 13-0 with 11 minutes gone in the contest.

During the remainder of the half there was little action. Bob McEnroe went over for a TD with 2 minutes re- maining, but an AU offside called this one back. /

Middle

During halftime Anthony Cappadon- ia's All-Campus band put on a fine show. The theme was ''A World Cruise." Six selections were played as the band tried to transport everyone around the world in song.

The "World Events March" _ was used in a camera formation with the first stop being "China Boy" and a rickshaw. A shamrock was formed for 'When Irish Eyes are Smiling."

A trip to the "Lady of Spain" was next in the form of a fan, followed by a "Midnight in Paris" with the Eiffel Tower.

The show ended with a shield formation for "This is My Country."

Leading the band are eight lovely drum majorettes headed by Kathy Myers. Assisting Mr. Cappadonia with the 60 member group is Chuck Maass.

Also adding to the color of the game was the seven girl cheering squad led by Penny Svec and the ROTC color guard of Marv Krinsky, Dava Irland, Dick Best and Phil Baily.

The second half saw Alfred score on the third play. Berg kicked off to Moresco on the 27 and he ran it back to the 39. Chaffee ran thru tackle for 33 yards and a first down to the Green and Gold's 28, and on the next play J i m m y Ryan scooted through tackle for 28 yards and a TD. His kick was no good, but with 1:25 of the half over, the score was 19-0.

Forced to kick after getting abso- lutely nowhere AU took over on Brockport's 45. On the first play Al Moresco faded back to pass, and his target was to be Chuck Shultz. Shultz, racing and faking down the sideline, I then cutting towards the goal post

! completely confused the Eagle's pass defense and was all alone waiting for the pass on the 10 yard line and eas- ily scampered over for the TD. The point was missed but the score stood 25-0 in favor of AU.

Ron Kornish got AU off right again as he intercepted a Larry Guerra pass on the AU 44 yard stripe. The running of Weaver, Korniah and Bob McEnroe put the ball on the 1 yard line in 11 plays and on the twelfth Weaver went through tackle for the TD at 11:00 of the period. Af-

Jimmy Ryan

Courtesy Hornell Tribune ter missing the extra point one of football's oddities occurred.

Jim Murphy kicked off for AU and the boot, a low one, hit one of the Brockport linemen in the chest. The ball bounced off into the waiting arms of William McAlle, who lugged It to the 35 of State. McEnroe then picked up 11 and a first down to the 24. Two runs by Weaver put it on the 19 and McEnroe gave AU another first down on the 14. After gaining nothing one run thru center McEnroe raced around end for 14 yards and the Sax- ons' sixth TD. A Weaver to McEn- roe pass got the PAT and gave AU a J8>-0 advantage.

End

The fourth quarter started with a bang, as Weaver, Dick Jorgensen, John Williams and a recovery of a fumble by Wayne Wales got the ball to Brock- port's 30. A run by Willims put the oall on the 22 but a penalty for hold- ing saw AU on the Teachers' 42. Weav- er picked up 5 and then Jim Murphy tossed a 37 yard pass to Sam Hulbert for the TD.

Another oddity occurred late in the quarter when Bill Brem tried to punt on fourth down from his own 13 yard

•ine. Standing about 7 yards behind the line his kick went straight up in the air and when it came down he caught it on the 10, for a punt which lost 3 yards.

On two runs Williams got the ball down to the 2 where Al Weaver took it over for the eighth and last touchdown. Alfred controlled the ball for a good deal of the remainder of the

;ame.

Starring for the Saxons was their entire starting line, for the little time that they got to play. This was the group of John Dennis, Don Carlln, George Meyer, Chet Mieciche, Al Bi- lanski, John DeSantis and Charlie Shultz. Ed DeChristopher recovered two fumbles for the Warriors while he was in action and on the whole, the entire team looked strong for a great deal of the time.

Had Brockport been in better shape things might have been a little closer, but from the press box* it was evident that AU was the better balanced and better developed squad on the field.

The big question is can the squad stay in this top shape for the remainder of the season.

EXTRA POINTS — The top ground gainers for the Saxons were: Bob McEnroe with 92 yards on 18 carries;

Jim Ryan, 66 in 7; Al Weaver, 51 In 14 and Bill Chaffee with 49 yards on

Bloodmobile Arriving

• The Rochester Bloodmobile will make its fall visit to the Alfred campus Wednesday. October 5.

It will- be held in the Student Un- ion from 10:00 a.m. til 5:00 p.m.

All blood denders for the first time will need permission slips signed by their parents or guar- dian; these will be available at all dorms and houses on the cam- pus. They should be presented at the time of lending the blood.

Old timers in the Blood pro gram will note the change in the wording; we no longer "donate"

blood, we "lend" it. This comes as the result of a public relations study made this summer to In- crease blood supplies.

The blood supply is critical at this time, due to the many post- poned operations that had to wait for the cooler weather. As you know, all blood received is typed and turned over to the local area hospitals for their patients with- out charge to them.

The Alfred program this year will be managed by Willam Bar- ker, who is taking over th« local program from Welley Parish, who has been appointed County Blood Chairman.

Editorial Code

The editorial policy of this newspaper is as follows:

1) To write about campus events, problems, situations, as they happen.

2) To cover the campus news in a factual and uneditorialized manner.

3) To utilize the editorial column strictly as a medium of expres- sing the opinions of the FIAT LUX.

4) To indicate by initials of the author those editorials which do not represent the combined opinion of the editorial staff.

5) To provide a sounding board for public opinion through the medium of Letters To The Editor. Such letters must be signed, well- written and in good taste.

6) To provide an area of experience for students interested in journalism.

7) To be a leader in campus thought and action, to be a leader in campus standards and in all humility to be a follower of fine journalistic standards.

Educational Mode

The small college vs. large college argument has raged on for years; the advantages and disadvantages of both have been weighed many times. We've weighed them too, and we're still at Alfred.

It can't be denied that there are definite advantages to larger (and richer) schools, but by the nature of their size they are incap- able of capturing the qualities that are essential in our ideal educa- tional system. If we can take the personalized education as one of the ideal qualities of education, then the small college certainly ap- proaches this more than the large one. Once this is recognized, it re- mains only to take full advantage of it.

Practically all upper-classmen have profited by close relation- ships with one or more members of the faculty, relationships that have influenced their undergraduate life and will continue to influ- ence their futures. In many cases these relationships have acted as a Platonic Ideal — that is, as an example of what the finished product of education is. These relationships are the backbone of the small college education.

It is up to the underclassman, in building his educational struc- ture, to take full advantage of these relationships. Different people will find different advantages in the'small college; the smart ones wjll make the most,of the advantages they find. They will graduate fuller people if they do so.

Although I have spoken to many of you, I am happy to greet you through the columns of the FIAT. To the returning students, we all say "Glad to have you back." To the new students, we say "Happy to have you with us."

You wouldn't be here ir we didn't think you could profit from Alfred University education. You will have to work hard—harder than you did at P.S. 197—but if you do your work when you should and hand it in when it is called for, you'll do all right.

For many of you, this will be ytfur first experience at regulating your own lives. We think that you are old enough to do so. If you are not, we shall have, regretfully, to say good- bye to you sooner than we had anticipated.

The honeymoon is over, and the real work of college has now begun.

Have some fun. but remember that the orbit of the UnUrersity is the class- room—not the Irnion.

Blue Key Message

Blue Key. the national honor fra ternity for upperclassmen of outstanding character and ability who have won campus distinction for scholar- ship and non-political attainments in service and leadership was founded in 1924. l,t was organized and thriv- ed only through the efforts of student leaders.

To gain entrance into Blue Key, a student muat have satisfied the above requirements and get voted in bjr the brothers.

On Alfred's campus, the Blue Key does many things. Our first project is Frosh Court. I'm sure the freshmen are eager to learn of the doings of the Court and many of them will.

Our next major project is the Blue Key Talent Show. We hold this toward the earty part of the second semester.

The show presents talent of both the administration and the student body.

A graduate of Rollins College in Florida, with a master's degree at Ohio State and a Ph.D. at the Univer- sity of Florida, Dean Marshall has been dean of the College of William and Mary, a member of the faculty of Florida State University and visiting scientist at the Bingham Oceanograph- ic Laboratory of Yale.

Here, he is currently working with freshman registration problems, but still found' time for a. FIAT inter- view, in which he stated that he is

"impressed with the quality of the University, which you have to be with and work with a while to fully ap- preciate." While other colleges make a big first impression, Alfred "grows

on you." Dean Marshall was also ''impressed with the Interest of faculty members in the students," and "en- couraged by the general attitude throughout the University toward a driving desire to always do better and better."

Dr. and Mrs. Marshall and their four children, who range in ages from six ,to thirteen, live on East Valley Road in Alfred Station.

When asked about his future plans for Alfred, Dean Marshall was non- committal. However, he stated that there were many interesting problems to work on, and that both the faculty and administration have some very good ideas about Alfred's future.

Alfred Greets Dean Russell

In an average afternoon,'Mrs. Ruth Russell, our new, but already well known Dean of Women, encounters problems ranging from soup to nuts (usually in the brick dining room) nd including such ques- tions as the responsibilities of house counselor, hours for transfer students, applications for part time and summer jobs and individual

adjustment to: Alfred. All this despite T

The Dean's problems range from After an interval of a few years, the ridiculous to the sublime and from

the trite to the near tragic. In short, she is directly responsible for the welfare of almost 3'00 girls. Her job is limited only by her Interpretation of its scope . . . and Dean Russell in- tends to interpret it broadly. She is planning to continue the scheduled freshman conferences in which incoming female students meet privately with the dean to discuss their problems and plans. In addition to this she is trying to increase the personal contact between students and herself and invites all of them to see her about any matters disturbing them.

no matter how small.

Mrs. Russell has been associated with Alfred in various capacities since 1921 when she entered as a freshman in the school of ceramic design.

spent teaching pottery and art in Cleveland and' Los Angeles, she re- sumed her Alfred career. She became the secretary to Dr. Binns of the ceramic design school and later to his successor, Dean Halmes.

After eight years in this capacity, she shifted her quarters to Green Hall where she assisted in the admissions and alumni office. In the more recent past she has been aiding Dr. Norwood, the president emeritus of Alfred, in preparations for his forthcoming book on the history of the school.

But of all the jobs Mrs. Russell has tackled here, her job as dean is by far the most demanding. To a position she finds "interesting, stimulating and often exciting" she brings her sin- cere interest, constant availability and sympathetic understanding.

Outlook

by Marv Bell

It has been said that Alfred Uni- versity is full of knowledge; the freshmen bring a little in and the seniors take none away, and knowledge accumulates.

Although the preceding statement has nothing whatsoever to do with this column, it's food for thought.

And while we're thinking, welcome back. We hope that this feature will help to bring about a bright OUT- LOOK for all.

The schedule of assembly programs for the first semester promises a var- iety of entertainment and that other stuff; education. This term's programs will include a fencing exhibi- tion, musical presentations by the University band and chapel choir, and talks by Dr. George I. Blanksten of Northwestern University and Dr. Fin- la G. Crawford of .Syracuse Univer- sity.

Now that old home week is over and the smell of fresh paint has disappeared from the fraternities and sororities, Alfred is set- tling down to the usual classes and studying. All the fraternities had parties Saturday night after the Brockport game, but by far, the biggest news' is the pinnings, engagements and marriages which took place over the summer. Before I tell you about them, however, I would like to place full responsibility for any bits of misinforma- tion on the shoulders of the social chairmen of the various houses, who are constantly telling lies and making jokes, just to make us confused, especially me.

At Delta Sig, marriages over the summer were: Chuck Weiss to Barb Radulski of Pi Nu, Jim Brown to Jane Siegel, also of Pi Nu and Bob Ruggles to a girl back home. Pinnings were.- John Dennis to Margaret ("Missy") Warren, of Pi Nu, Chuck Griffin to Mary El- len Ramsey of Sigma Chi, Jerry Pliton to Cathy McKiernan of Pi Nu, Ken Myers to a girl back home and Ed Bertha to a girl in Queens College. Note to freshman girls: Don't worry. These boys are still in action.

Kappa Nu's party Saturday night was chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Reichovich and Sergeant Poliferno. Right now, KN is in the midst of fixing up the house. It's being completely redone, with new floors and linoleum to be finished within the week. Harry Nagen and Joan Ellinger were married August 28.

Kappa Psi also has a long list of marriages and engagements.

Jerry Beck married Maria Colacicco August 24. Don Hall was mar- ried to Janice Alter of Rochester September 10. Dick Truesdale and Diane Wilkins of Pi Nu were married August 22.

The two engagements at Kappa Psi are Dale Gillman to Lois Young of Buffalo State and Bill Hoskyns to Marilyn Miller of Ken- more. Saturday night's party was chaperoned by Earl Colman and Dick Truesdale.

Klan Alpine's party Saturday night was chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Carlin Champlin and Mr. and Mrs. Dave Cole. As of last summer, Doug Fuess is a member of the US Air Force. Phyllis Burger of Sig- ma Chi became Mrs. Ronald Francis last September third. Ron and Phyl are now living at the Beehive on South Main Street. Carl Mc- Murtry (Class of '53) was married to Virginia Downing June 11. Au- gust 21 was the wedding date for Ernie La Follette and Judith Clark. Chuck Maass and Renata Riemer are engaged. Plans are rapidly being made for a barn christening and tryouts were held Thursday night. Don Truby was back for the weekend.

The cry of- the Caribou is being heard in the distance once again, and a full season is predicted.

Lambda Chi has a new house mother, Mrs. Larmer, from New Jersey. Art Young was married to Edna Rowe of Sigma Chi during the summer. The house has a new mascot, a little brown terrier with a green sweater. Lambda Chi is finally getting its new driveway.

Weekend guests were Chum Larson and Pat Roncone. Chum is the first liberal artist to graduate from Alfred and revolutionize the ceramic industry.

Tau Delt's party Saturday night was chaperoned by Dr. and Mrs. Melvin Bernstein and Mr. and Mrs. Barry Milliman. "Enter- tainment" was provided by Lenny Fagen, Jerry Kreischman, Paul Stanger, Arnold Namm, Mel Millman and Walt Klein. Marvin Bell pinned Leona Von Etens from Long Island. Last Wednesday evening, Tau Delt serenaded Rogie Stone, at Merriam House, and Sandra Fielder at the Brick. Rogie is engaged to Steve Bender and Sandy to Doug Kaplan.

The new house mother at the Brick is Mrs. Hall.

Mrs. Elizabeth Houghton is taking Mrs. Belkin's job at Campus House.

The Castle also has a new house mother, Mrs. Pope. Karen Olsen just returned from a trip to Mexico. Two freshman girls, Helen Clark and Lucille Smith, are living at the Castle this year.

Joan Fischman of Merriam House is engaged to Marcy Goldstein Class of '54.

Norma Myer, a senior nurse at Pi Alpha Pi, is married to Jeff Miller of Mount Vernon. Ilene Van Vliet is married to Wally Hoern- ing. Engagements are Adria Luks to Roy Sandberg and Lynn Sun- shine to Art Maron. Mrs. Rabe from Baltimore, Maryland is Pi's new house mother. I hear that since the recent painting at Pi Alpha, Carmel Rizzo, Karen Lowens and Rhoda Levine have the loudest room on campus.

Sigma Chi has a long list of marriages which took place over the summer. Marilyn ("Beef") Childs is married to Larry Lester.

Larry and Beef are living in Norfolk, Virginia. Janet Morden is now Mrs. Mike Henretta. She and Mike are living in Texas. Ginny Burdick and Tom Fish were married June 25 and are now living in Niagara Falls. Elaine Harrington was married to Phil Saunders July 25 and they're living in Scotsville, where Phil is teaching. Al- berta Ormsby and Dick Brown are married and are in Alfred Sta- tion. Johanna Luther has transferred to Parsons School of Design.

Sheila Shanley is engaged to George Boll. Alice Bogaski and Peggy Courtwright were at Theta for the weekend. Imogene Braman was in Roscoe last weekend for the wedding of Dan Shelker's sister.

Janeann Radley Smith of Omicron had a baby girl last June and Lois Ganze Trewiler gave birth to twin girls in the same month.

Boyce, will start work the middle of October Until that time, Mrs. Paul Titsworth of Alfred is acting as house mother. Barbara Payne, Valerie Eva and Jeanne Hunt were back for the weekend. Omicron girls in the far corners of the earth were sur- prised last summer to receive their first issues of "Merry Muddled Memories," six mimeographed pages by Simpson & Straka, Inc rWho else ?) designed to drag all of last year's skeletons from AKO's closets. It really lived up to its motto, "All the news that ain't fit to print.

' Four Alfred poly sci majors, Jay Yedvab, Joe Bloch, Rose De- Carlo and Bud Kass are at Washington University. Sally Dow and Hank Greenberg are studying at the University of Mexico.

The campus is glad to welcome back all the returning senior nurses. It sure was a busy summer, wasn't it? Best of luck in the new semester and I'll see you all again soon.

Social Calendar Spells Classes

photo by D. Brownsteln

"It's gonna snow next week."

The biggest attractions of the social season in past years have always been the "big dances." Well known bands, queens and parties offered a needed break from the constant rou- tine ot classes and books. When the long-awaited days finally came, good turnouts were the rule. Of the dances, St. Pat's, Interfraternity, Pntersoror- lty, Winter Carnival and the Military Ball are the biggest of the big.'

Around February of every year we begin to find out what's going to happen St. Pat's weekend. Last year the weekend1 consisted or a beard contest, an open house in tne ceramic building, float parade and a production by the Footlight Club. In past years, we've had such well-known dance bands as Tex Beneke, Woody Herman, Tommy Tucker, Jimmy Dorsey and Richard Hayman. St. Pat has arrived from such strange places as Siberia, South Africa and the South Pacific, depend- ing on the climate at that time of year. His means of arriving were even more strange, a beer truck, a magic carpet and down a ladder from a smoke-filled women's dorm. All in all it's always quite a weekend.

The Interfraternity Ball 15 run as a cooperative enterprise by all the fraternities on campus. It' comes between Thanksgiving and Christmas va- cations. Last year music was provided by Les Elgart and company. It has been the custom that each fraternity have a party before the dance, during the intermission and after it's over.

The IntersOTority Ball is. run along the lines of the Interfraternity Ball only here the sororities do the planning. Bach year a different theme is portrayed.

The Winter Carnival, sponsored by the Alfred Outing Club lists quite a few events during its weekend, among them the dance, skiing, tobogganning, bob-sledding, the crowning of a queen and a snow sculpture contest.

A relative newcomer to this field of the "big dance" is the Military Ball sponsored by the ROTC detachment. Its inception occurred two years ago when the detachment came to Alfgred. Three dances have been held under this organization with each one becoming bigger and better.

Military Ball Is AU's First Formal

Wally Rhodes and his orchestra and the Eyes Right Club of th"e Alfred RpTC detachment will give a military sendoff to another Alfred social season Friday, October 7 with the presentation of the Fourth Annual Mili- tary Ball.

While many people from upstate will not recognize the name of Wally Rhodes, he is well known to the people of New York City and its outlying area. He has played at many clubs in the city and for the past five years has been the featured dance band at the Jones Beach Water Carnival. It is at this Carnival that the famous water-musicals are presented.

Highlight of the Ball will be the presentation of the Cadet Corps Spon- sors. The idea of Cadet Sponsors is a carryover of military tradition to the Alfred campus. It is traditional in the army for each company size unit or larger to be represented by a spon- sor at all of their social functions.

When the idea for a Military Ball was conceived three years ago, it was decided that the tradition be upheld and that sponsors be named.

Unlike the "qneens" that are chosen for practically every dance and reign for but one day or at best for one weekend, the Cadet Corps Sponsors represent the Cadet Corps at every ROTC function held during the year.

Nominations Mr "L-acet sponsors will be held at the earliest possible time and final selections will be t h e week before the Ball.

While the Military Ball is run pri- m a r i l y for members of ROTC, non- members may also go. For information see any Cadet officer.

Better be late down here than early up there . . . so drive safely.

Sports Preview '55-'56

With the new term started the Alfred University athletic program is now under way with many events planned for all to enoy.

Sporting events will be pn a varsity, a freshman and an intramural level. Varsity competition will be conducted in football .cross country, bas- ketball, track, wrestling, golf and tennis.

Saxon teams through the years have always achieved good records and this year should prove no exception. Those

•who are now upperclassmen know of the Saxon accomplishments. For the new students this article will attempt to review last year and give a glimpse into the future.

Last year the football team won six of eight games, losing only to Kings Point by 1815, and Hobart 13-6. The squad was led by "Little Ail-Ameri- cans." Patsy Lattari, the quarterback was given honorable mention on a wire service quad, Al Bilansky was a first team man on the Woodhouse squad at tackle, and Don Carlin got an honorable mention on the same team.

Only two men were lost from last year's squad. Quarterback Lattari, is now working as a coach and manager and Bill Lewis, a halfback, graduated.

Top men on the offense were John Zluchoski and Jimmy Ryan who led the squad in all departments.

The other fall sport is cross coun- try. This squad had a poor season last year due to a lack of manpower and a difficult schedule. This year the schedule is tough, but the team is much stronger. Coach Tuttle's boys open up against Syracuse on Saturday with a varsity squad composed mainly of sophomores and juniors.

Whten "Old Man Winter" comes along, three Saxon squads go into action) On November 1, Coach Jay McWilliams' basketball squad starts training for a rough slate of 19 games.

The season will be highlighted by two big games. On January 14, Colgate will be at Alfred and on February 10 the Saxons will visit Williams Col- lege. Williams is the defending New England champions and competed in the NCAA playoffs at Madison Square Garden last year. The opening game will be on December 3 at Brockport State. Three day slater the Purple and Gold open at home against Me- Masters College of Hamilton, Ontario.

One bright spot for the Warriors is the fact that no men were lost by graduation. Bob Corbin, the all-time high scorer for Alfred is back for his senior year. The 6-7 center has 652 points scored in his three seasons and he is a constant threat under the boards, leading the team in rebounds.

John McNamara, a junior who holds the one game high for AU at 38 is set for another season. Other return- ing lettermen will be Lennie Rapkin, America's smallest college player at 5-4, Bob Green, Bill Balle, last year's number two scorer, and Buzz Von Nieda.

Millard Evak, holder of all Alfred scoring records before going into the army two years ago is also expected back. If this materializes, the Saxon scoring punch will be intensified and the Warriors may go on the warpath again. These veterans wi'l also be joined by a good group which is com- ing up from last year's freshman squad, led by 6-8 Phil Baker.

In December the track squad of Coach McLane starts working. Lead- ing the way will be Frank Gilbert and sophomores Doug Smith, Dave Wilcox William Clark and Company. Two of the boys broke individual records dur- ing the outdoor season. Clark tied the frosh

v

record for the 100 yard dash at 10.0, while Doug Smith holds the 880 yard record for freshmen at 1:57.6.

This is also the Terra Cotta Field rec- ord. Smith broke this standard twice last year.

The freshman relay team of Wal- ker, Kapner, Clark and Smith also set a new AU freshman 4/5 mile relay record, and while runnning at the Middle Atlantics, they broke the school record, and the MA record for the medley relay. With all of this talent back the squad will be tough to top. Highlighting the season will be the Colgate meet at Alfred and a dual meet at Syracuse.

In February, wrestling starts under

•Coach Yunevich. Leading the way will be the top two from last year's squad, John Dennis and Dick Eddico. Both had 5-1 Vecords last year and spark- ed the squad to a 4-2 record, includ- ing wins over Colgate and R.I.T.

Back also will be lettermen Hank Graham and Bill Reid.

Spring finds the netmen, golfers and tracksters representing Alfred on the intercollegiate scene. Five lettermen return to the tennis squad of Jay Mc- Williams, which posted a 3-5 slate.

They are Jay Friedenson, Earl Gel- man, Lfnnie Rapkin, Bob Littell and

Jerry Slater. The squad will find a tough 9-match schedule ahead of them.

The Alex Yunevich-coached golfers posted a 4-2 record last year and with 5 of 6 lettermen returning they will once again be rough. Back are Ed McNamara, Ron Anderson, Buzz Von Nieda, Al Bilansky and Nick Teta, all top flight performers.

For those in the freshman class there i3 room on the varsity in all sports except basketball and cross country where freshmen teams will have an intercollegiate schedule.

The largest program on campus is the intramurals. The women's program is conducted bv the WAGB and it in- cludes hockey, tennis, table tennis, archery, Softball, volleyball and bas- ketball. The Intraumral Board runs the men's activities.

Football, baksetball, volleyball, bad- minton, table tennis and Softball are the sports contested. The team with the most points at the end of the school year receives the Intramural trophy. It is now in the possession of Delta Sig. Runner-up was Bartlett.

Delta Sig won t i e basketball and softball crowns; Bartlett took the football and volleyball;Lambda Chi badminton; Rhodies, table tennis.

For the outdoor enthusiast there is swiming at the Theta pond during the warm weather and iceskating dur- ing the winter or skiing at the AOC ski hill.

With all these events on al lev- els of competition there is something for everyone to do either as a com- petitor or as a spectator, as Alfred starts another big athletic year.

Coach Milton Tuttle's cross coun- try teams go into their first meets of the season on Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. against Syracuse University.

The races will start and finish on Ter- ra Cotta Field.

The coach is very happy with his squad, as it has shown lots of pep and spark during its initial workouts.

The turnout has been good, but there are still openings if anyone wants to try out. Coach Tuttle can be found at the gym or on Terra. Cotta any day after 3 p.m.

For Saturday's varsity meet the coach will have a young team in ac- tion, as the squad boasts of only one senior and four juniors. The lone sen- ior is George Morton. The juniors are Frank Gilbert and Ronnie Smith, two-year lettermen, and Dave Hill and Paul Jones.

Doug Smith leads a talented group of sophomores, including Bill Clarke, Stu Kapner. Dave Wilcox, Carl Me-

VEindes, Pete Hammond and Bruce Boulton.

There will be one freshman on the varsity team, and from all reports he will be one of the top men on the

quad. The young man is Frank Fin- nerty of Buffalo. Frank was an All- City track man for his entire high

chool career. He has a 4:29 mlie to lis record and he has matched Hal Snyder stride to stride.

Immediately preceeding the varsity run the AU freshman team will make its first public appearance of the sea- son. At this early writing, the coach is very optimistic about this squad due mainly to its hustle and drive.

Those who reported to the early work- outs included Bates, Ottman, Good, Kline, Koslowski, Connor, Fisler, Fos- ter. Kline, Cohen, Westcott, Altman, Vangaasbeck, Luhrs, Kappus, Cham- bers, Jones, Eaton and Rose.

Managing the team will be Matty Burger. He will be aided by Bert Pe- ters. |

Both teams will run the same sche- dule with one exception, the freshman will not run against Cortland State.

Dual meets will be held with Cani- sius at Alfred on October 8; at Col- gate and Cortland respectively on Oc- tober 15 and 22; and at.Alfred, Cor- nell on October 29.

If the freshman team does well in its dual meets it may also accompany the varsity to the digger ones which start with the New York State Meet at Endicott on November 5. On the 11th of that month the squad will be at Allentown, Pennsylvania for the Middle Atlantics. November 14 gees the squad at the ICAAAA Meet in New York City and the season closes
