OF MIDDLE ATLANTICS
"To many runners the hills of Van Courtland Park are as high as moun- tains. To the distance running de- votees of Alfred University, trained in the Allegany hills, the Van Court- land Cross Country course of six miles is as flat a a pancake. Neither the hills nor the icy blast that whistled across the plains yesterday had any terrors for the purple clad warriors of Alfred who carried off their fifth championship, their third in four years, and the individual honors as well, in a sweep of the sixteenth an- nual run of the Middle Atlantic States Collegiate Athletic Association." Thus did J. P. Abramson of the Herald Tribune tell the story in his first paragraph on Tuesday morning fol- lowing the sensational victory of the Saxon harriers.
Coming down from the hills Java had a slight stitch. The redhead told his teammate to go ahead, and with Smith on his heels this seemed the wiser move. So Oldfield stepped out, opened up ten yards on Smith by the
GUILD TO HOLD
ANNUAL FESTIVAL
The Ceramic Guild of Alfred an- nounces its annual Christmas celebra- tion on December 7th and 8th.
For weeks members of the Ceramic Guild have been bustling around pouring slip into plaster molds of vari- ous sizes and shapes, industriously finishing off pieces with a combination of sandpaper, cheesecloth and myster- iously mixing up batches and batches of glaze. Workers, with heads tied up in towels spraying glaze on pot- tery; workers, stacking kilns; work- ers, marking pieces—everybody busy.
A veritable fury of well-directed work.
What does all this concentrated ac- tion mean? Consultations. Plans. Com- mittees. What do they mean? It's the Christmas Festival in the offing. An- nouncements are out. On Thursday and Friday, people will come trouping to Alfred and trouping to the Christ- mas Festival to see what the ceramic time they hit the flat, and continued | a r t students have been doing.

Dr. Bleininger told how production on a large scale involves many en- gineering problems which do not ex- ist in production on a smaller scale.
He emphasized the fact that every cer-

The educational interest manifested in this humble beginning steadily grew and resulted in the organization of an academy with a suitable building and small equipment. To meet the needs of an increasing attendance, additional aniic student should be thoroughly ac- ] teachers were secured, and in 1843, a quainted with the fundamentals of J charter was granted to "Alfred Acad- ceramic engineering.

The student who likes ceramic en- gineering and wishes success in that field should do more than obtain a general training for good citizenship in college. He must become a well- trained specialist in many practical ways in order to take care of the high- ly specialized work in the ceramics industries of today.
Dr. Bleininger, not only left the cer- amic engineers with a good idea of what would be required of them in the commercial world, but also, he estab- lished a definite goal for which to aim.

Inefficiency and Mob Murder
So lynchings are the vogue now! and the governor of one of these enlightened states of ours sanctions the procedure.
The lynchings are supposed to show that the people will not tolerate violations of the laws laid down for the common good. But why must the mob take law enforcement into its own hands'? Per- haps it had forgotten that it had elected a governor to head an effective organization for advancement oij the people's welfare.
Perhaps it remembered or saw evidences that the organization was not in perfect working order. The California governor's attitude toward mob rule was a frank admission of the inefficiency of his system for the good of his people. The evidence of mob rule showed that we still are not far removed from Medievalism, however just the cause may have seemed.
Did you, while you were home, receive congratulations on our cross country team's fresh victory? People outside the immediate collegiate realm are remarking the success of Alfred's harriers—
state-wide publicity is concentrated on the college as a result of the Middle Atlantic Championship Meet. Can you students accept the good wishes for a team to which you give so little support!
Such an opportunity as that of the welcome rally for the triumphant team last week should be met with much enthusiasm. Student loy- alty, coupled with hardworking teams makes a hard-to-beat com- bination. Our football season was a successful one; the men on the squad and the coach deserve much glory for their fine efforts.
Make the winning spirit carry over into the sport of the com- ing season, Basketball. Varsity basketball is being initiated Thurs- day flight at the Alumni game. Here's the chance for a good demonstration—you students, turn this first game into one big rally—Let's go!

Little boy—"Pardon me, I've got the wrong number."

LIBRARY NOTES
By Ruth Greene
George Bernard Shaw, who doesn't conceal the fact that he is a practical person, advises young men not to write if they can possibly make an honest living. He complains that it took him nine years of authorship before he earned twenty-five dollars and that was for an advertisement A nasty person might comment that Shaw has little reason to complain, now that he has made his fortune—mostly for ad- vertisement. Not all authors have either the wit or the inclination to advertise themselves so successfully.
The real step-children of the literary profession are, of course, the poets.
Other writers can look forward to an adequate income as soon as their talents (if any) are recognized, but all the critical recognition in the world won't give the modern poet a living wage. If he is to rely solely on his poetry, for a living, he is doomed to starve, which may or may not be a good thing for Mr. Babbitt and Mrs.
Grundy. We remember reading some- where that Robert Frost made a total of something like two hundred dollars from his poetry in ten years. We know another poet, with whose work most of you are familiar, who tells us that, taking into account all his years of creative activity, his average an- nual income from the sale of his poems has been thirty dollars.
We profess to loving poetry. We profess to believing that no greater gift has been given to man than the gift of tongues and of the spirit. And we are dismayed to contemplate a so- ciety so utilitarian that it can find no place for the artist in its house of economic security. Practically every young artist of whom we know is forced to devote the greater part of his time and energy to some sort of desk- job. He writes or paints in the eve- ning—that is, if he is not too tired.
The rhythm of his life is sharply divided. He has a day-self and a night- self, and the two are strangers. The jealousy of art produces in him such a psychic disturbance that it is not long before he becomes incap- acitated for pure or sustained creative achievement. Great art is not the re- sult of part time effort. It needs the whole brain of man and all his facul- i ties.
Some men. of wealth, like Otto Kohn, and some endowed artists colonies have done much to encourage the young artist in America. But for the most part there is only indifference.
Recently there died in New Y'ork, a woman who was evidently at least converted to the artist's cause. In her will she left $10,000 to her pet monkey and the residue of her estate to subsidize the works of men. It would be ungracious, we suppose, to cavil at the dear lady for providing for the ape, first.

Mole skin huskies of Alfred Univer- sity today had packed away the last equipment, as the winter sports of wrestling and basketball started their inaugural marches toward their re- spective thrones to the tune of pre- season training.
But as the last cleated shoe and wool jersey was put to moth balls, those who view football as "king over all" sang a doxology to the accomplish- ments of the team in the season past, not only because their record is per- haps the best in the annals of Alfred football, but also because it provides a most fitting criterion for the reign of 1934.
That the season past saw one of the most auspicious records in Saxon history established is not to be denied, when looking back from all angles of games of games won and lost, total points scored and greater than all, a revival of spirit and unity among the men as a team, to place Alfred Univer- sity football on a higher plane among the other schools of the nation.
Six games were played. And in those six games, Alfred's team rolled up a total of 142 points, as against their opponent's total of 36. Three games were won, another tied, and two lost, on this same basis, looking back through the dusty files of 1S95, when the Purple had its first football team, never has a better record been hung up by an Alfred team.
In every game, it was this new spirit that made the Saxons superior—even in the face of defeat. Against De- fiance in the season's opener the Pur- ple clicked with mechanical unity to win 18-0. Rochester was the next victim by a 7 to 0 verdict, a triumph that witnessed the death knell to the
"jinx" that even Rochester sports- writers of the past several years or so have given as reason for Univer- sity of Rochester's many narrow vic- tories over the purple.
The Ithaca School of Physical Edu-
! cation was met. It was a peculiar game but not so peculiar when one considers that Ithaca possessed more experienced players, some of whom had seen four years of college experi- ence, before entering the school where they were to study for the occupation of coaching and physical education work.
In the opening minutes, Alfred was like a house-afire. Then the spirit ebbed away, after one touchdown had been scored. Ithaca's experienced men waited for the breaks. In the third quarter they got them. Then they pulled one trick play—a shovel pass. Thrice they -pulled and Alfred's men, caught unawares by the trick play, were twice scored on. In the dwindling minutes of the last quarter, Alfred opened a terrific barrage to ad- vance the ball to within a few yards of a score. Time was too short, how- ever, and defeat was accepted, 12-7.
Against University of Buffalo at 12- 12 deadlock resulted. This too was another peculiar game with even Buf- falo sportswriters acclaiming Alfred as the better team with "more spirit than usual". Cooper Union students were defeated 82-0, which at that time was the largest score made in collegiate circles in the nation and I which still stands as the largest score
this season in the East.
In the final game of the season though, against St. Lawrence in El- mira, the true essance of this new spirit showed itself. Against a team that outweighed them on an average of 18 pounds a man and in comparison looked like giants, Alfred's superior fighting spirit permitted them to battle doggedly throughout the game—com- ing back to duplicate St. Lawrence initial score and deadlock the game until the twilight minutes, when the Larries tallied again for a 12-6 win.
But all this was not accomplished by a single stroke. For the past four
•/ears Coach John Galloway has been building and moulding, until in this past season, those efforts were fructi- led, efforts with which a constant bit if that "new spirit" was forever a Iriving factor.
And to several men who packed

Dean Lewis, in his recent address I at the Social Hall, stated that the fac-
! ulty of a University had, as its fuuda- j mental purpose, that of teaching the student how to think, not what to think. He received unanimous ap- plause.
Throughout the last three years I have had the opportunity of hearing several speakers in the assembly periods who attacked important polit- ical, national and international issues.
If the topic were one of prohibition, the gentlemen selected by the Univer- sity always sponsored it. In the same manner the question of war has been taken from the point of view of a pacifist. I do not intend to detract from the benefits these speakers have I given Alfred University, but rather
! to advocate a more stimulating and broader approach.
At no time has the opposite view- point received a hearing. The student I would benefit far more from a con-
! elusion derived from an intelligent dis- cussion of both sides of the question than one founded on the statements of a few partisan speakers. In short, would it not be possible to secure the- j services of a well rounded, stauncli J militarist?—They do exist.

What is a vacation? Somewhere, sometime, someone said that a vaca- tion is synonymous with recreation.
It is most amusing to observe how human nature interprets the word re- creation. To begin our story most of the fellas silenced their alarm clocks.
Some stopped clocks and watches and instinctively guided themselves ac- cording to position of old man "Sol"
and Mr. Moon.
Strange as it may seem only Harrel Cleaves had to face the serious prob- lem of physical re-creation resulting from a violation of the "sacred rights of intake".
Re-creation may also mean behav- ing along new or different patterns.
And this is probably the most strik- ing difference between vacation days and working days. A description of
"Howie" Johnson's and Joe Teta's rooms will illustrate this. During school days one may see in their rooms open books placed here and there. During Thanksgiving vacation, however, the same books are neatly placed in a pile in a remote corner of the room. What does this mean?
Ths means first of all that Joe and
"Howie" can't be spending as much time as usual in their own rooms. Joe attempts to cook a meal for the fellas
—something he has never done before
—something the fellas hope he never will da again. "Howie" disappears for a whole day. Where he does his recreating no one knows. Knowing of his love for nature wTe suspect that

Cleopatra's affairs have all gone down in history. Napoleon's affairs have all gone down in history. Bart- j lett's Thanksgiving affair now is his-j tory. What an affair! All students of Alfred University who had stayed in town over the holidays were in- vited. There were about sixty per- sons present. It certainly did one's eyes good to see the boys and girls mix before dinner. (That is an affair in itself, isn't it.) When dinner was announced, they paired up and march- ed into the dining room to the strains of "Sox" Bassett and his Million Dol- lar Orchestra. (They sounded like a million dollars anyway.) Upon enter- ing the room, all stopped and stared with amazement clearly shown in their eyes. What a sight to behold!
Candles lit and lights were low. One thinks such sights are only seen in the movies, read about in books or told I about by liars. It really was magni- j ficant. Fruit cocktails, turkey, stuf- fing mince and pumpkin pie, cran- berries and good old Adams' ale were to be seen on the table. Well—every- one gobbled up the the turkey.
After dinner, all went into the lounge, where "Sox" and his orches- tra were playing. Dancing was now in order. Everyone danced and danced for Thanksgiving is really only once a year. Ray Pope was the social committee. He did a swell job.
No one was seen sitting out a dance.
(No one did—did they Ray?) Girls were permitted to cut dances and when they did, you should have seen the fellows swell up and grin.

IN PRAISE OF (Continued from page two) time, also must go much credit. There is Kuenn, a guard; Gregory, center;
Teta, an end; Chamberlain, a tackle;
Torrello, halfback; Reitz, a tackle;
Wallace, a halfback and Clark, a back- field man, who next year will enter medical school; and Helming, a back.
Kuenn was overtaken by the spirit in his Junior year and won for him- self then a regular berth. Gregory for three years has played pivot with com- mendable ability, while Chamberlain two years _ago distinguished himself against Salem to win a Varsity berth.
Torello, perhaps the most elusive back ever developed here, contributed much towards the moral development.
Until he was injured in the Buffalo game, his playing alone stood as a beacon to this courage. Against De- fiance runs of 33 yards and 15 yards netted touchdowns, while in the Ro- chester game he returned a punt for 65 yards. Buffalo saw him run 38 yards from scrimmage to score and witnessed his heave of the ball to Hodges for the second score. At the time of his injury, high scorer in the east.
Henning is one of the fastest step- ping backs to ever wear the Purple.
In 1932, he was handicapped by a knee injury. This year he was switched to a fullback position. His speciality was fake reverses, half and full spins, while his ability to conceal the ball from the opposition until in the clear was another asset.
Wallace in the backfield was always a constant offensive threat and will always be remembered as the man who won the Hobart game in 1932, when he received a pass from Torello and ran 55 yards through a broken field to score. Reitz played a stable game throughout his career and his loss will be keenly felt. Clark, as a utility backfieLl man, in this alone was a great asset to Galloway. He played quarter, full and half with equal agility.
Teta and Camberlain a r e the note- worthy examples of those unknowns who make most teams what they are
—the scrubs, especially is this true of Teta. Not until this season did he come into his own. For three years, he worked continually, until he finally won a regular berth, utilizing the honor to distinguish himself in every game with brilliant offensive and de- fensive playing.
What these men have contributed to the past season and in those games of the previous years, however, is not the biggest factor. What they are leaving in the abstract of an indomit- able spirit with the men who will formulate next year's nucleus is the biggest thing.
And there will be a nucleus too, providing that all return. To make any predictions as to the kind of a season they will turn in is not to be expected, only that this is the first time that prospects at the end of a football season at Alfred for the next year were perhaps never more bright.
This nucleus, nine who will be Seniors in 1934, and nine who will be Juniors, not to mention the influx of this year's Freshman players. Of the eighteen veterans, seven of them at least would be qualified as regulars, while all the rest have seen much ex- perience in minutes played.
Included are Cohen, Adessa, Han- son, Firestine, Boylan, Gale, Fedor.
Perrone, Kent, Lesch, Hodges, Besley, Trumbull, Topper, Giannassio, Keegan, Potter and Phillips.
MOVE TO FORM SWIMMING CLUB An effort is being exerted to form a Women's Swimming Club this year, not for credit, but for recreation. The program will be carried out at the "Y"
pool in Hornell and a bus for trans- portation of the members at Alfred will bi> provided. The Club—if former
—will be sponsored by the Department of Physical Education and the Wo- men's Athletic Governing Board.
The Club will leave Alfred, Friday afternoon at 2:45, and will meet for twelve weeks between Thanksgiving and Easter. The fee will depend on the number in the Club, and includes bus transportation, membership at the "Y" pool and instruction for those who wish it. There is the possibilitj' also for members of the Club of mem- bership on a swimming team with a schedule of one or two meets with other schools.
Whether or not the Club will or- ganize depends on the number who sign for it before noon on Thursday, December 7th. If it does organize the first trip will be the next day at 2:45.
The Club cannot organize with less than 20, and so anyone interested should get in immediate contact with the chairman of their sorority or dormitory group for further par- ticulars. These chairmen are: Bas- tow, Gillespie, Williams and Clarke.

There a r e three kinds of working students—working students, working- students, and plain ordinary students.
The first kind works and draws pay for his labor in the form of money.
The second kind works just as hard and gets paid, not in money, but in a value not easily measured. The [third kind—Well he's not important.
The first and second kinds are work- ing toward the same end: An educa- tion. The second kind really gets one;
the first gets a smattering. One of the tragedies that is with us every day is the working students of the first kind who spends so much time making a living that he can't get an education he works for. His diploma, when he is graduated, is like all the rest of them. As some wag said, it and a nickel will get him a cup of coffee. But it means something to him. It is the results of countless hours of physical toil.
The diploma is the pay check of the second kind of working student, the student who has sufficient money to attend college and sufficient to realize
•that h© gets out of college just what he puts, into it. He works at studies.
His labor incites no pity, admiration or sympathy. There's nothing spectac- ular in them. He's an amusing type of "working student". But his di- ploma, which like the others requires a nickel if h e would drink coffee, has an inestimable value to him.—Okla- 1 homa Daily.

Java showed splendid team spirit in his urging Oldfield to take the lead when he pulled up with a stitch.
