William Seaver Woods, editor of the Literary Digest, will speak on the subject "Editing the News" in assem- bly, Thursday morning.
Weighing new values of the whole world, balancing sectional opinion, probing the mind of the average citi- zen, Mr. Woods as the editor of the Literary Digest is in a position to know people better than they know themselves.

N Y S A Greenhouse To Pay For Itself
Geraniums and youthful carrots hobnob with screew-drivers and planks this week as the greenhouse of the New York State School of Agri- culture nears completion.
Begun last spring, the small build- ing behind the school was built to conduct experiments. Now the many- paned roof covers a variety of plants from peas to petunias, set out in sterilized dirt.
Yes, sterilized dirt! Subjected to steam at 200 degrees F., seeds and grubs have as much cnance of sur- viving as a freshman walking on the grass between Burdick Hall and the Library.
Plants grown in this highlj culti- vated atmosphere will be sold, mak- ing the greenhouse
proposition.

Dog Trouble Pooches Cause Mild
Havoc In French Class
Miss Marie Louise Cheval is having dog trouble.
This is not American slang to indicate that the popular French instructor has bunions.
It means only that two campus pets—unsightly, smelly dogs—
have been invading her 8 o'clock French literature section.
One was a grim, drooling bull- dog, who would stay quiet some three minutes and then emit a yelp like the noon whistle. He was ejected.
The other was a friendly little yellow spaniel who contributed nothing to the cultural level ex- cept occasional unseemly snorts.
He was tolerated; however, until he began climbing on the students' laps and even onto Miss Cheval's desk in an excessively exuberant fashion.
When he refused to obey "des- cendez-vous" and similar statccato admonitions he too was ejected.

Fiat Lux Entered In Press Contest
The Fiat Lux staff is prepaaring this week to enter the news, editorial and advertising contests sponsored by the Intercollegiate Newspaper Associ- ation in connection with its semi-an- nual convention to be held in Pitts- burgh, No. 15 and 16.
In an effort to promote a standard of consistent excellence among its member papers the I. N. A. asks each paper to submit copies of three consecutive issues in these contests.
These are judged by newspaper men and awards are made at the conven- tion.
Judges are asked to consider gener- al appearance and make-up, attrac- tiveness, originality, balance; interest, style and good newspaper writing.
In considering the editorial contest judges will consider reader interest, variety, whether the editorial policy is progressive, vigorous, and fair and whether they are likely- to influence reader opinion.
Speakers at the convention will in- clude Herbert Moore, president of the Transradio Press Service, Heywood Broun and Governor George H. Earle and advertising and business speakers of prominence. Forums will be held on questions vital to the running of a good college newspaper.
Representing Alfred University at the convention will be Charles D.
Henderson, vice-president of the In- tercollegiate Newspaper Association and co-business manager of the Fiat Lux, Miss Dorothy Saunders, editor, and Edwin L. Brewster, business man- ager.

Being Planned
Juniors Offer Chance For Student Entertainers
To Win Prize Racusin Will Direct Auditions To Be Held
Early Next Month
Ambitious and talented college stu- dents will have an opportunity to prove their artistic mettle at an amateur night program sponsored by the junior class within the next few weeks.
Open to any one in college, the pro- gram will consist of imitations, music- al numbers, dances, skits, humorous readings or animal sounds.
To eliminate inferior productions, auditions will be held for all contes- tants in advance of the entertainment.
Prizes will be offered to the stu- dents who give the best performances.
Members of the junior class may take part in the contest, but they will be ineligible for one of the awards, it was decided.
Ben Racusin was elected general director of the program at a recent meeting of the class. He will be as- sisted by Ray Pape as business manager; Donald Hallenbeck and Ellen Sherwood, in charge of adver- tising and publicity; Sam Scholes, stage; Lishure Mile and Jack Mer- riam, auditions and script.
For Atmosphere
Attempt Transferring Mood Of Frosh-Soph Plays
To Audience
Stagecraft Professional Plays To Be Presented
Monday Night
In an attempt to create an atmos- phere which will transfer the mood of the play to the minds of the specta- tors, unusual scenery and novel meth- ods of lighting combined with profes- sional stagecraft will be introduced at the presentation of the Frosh-Soph plays next Monday night in Alumni Hall.
Miss Mary Rogers, new dramatics coach, plans to emphasize the impor- tance of background as a factor in raising the standard of*amateur plays.
Suggesting that the main fault in most amateur productions lies in the lack of proper or sufficient atmosphere to accentuate the plot, Miss Rogers stated that by means of a complete stock of new scenery, new lighting devices, unusual costuming and make- up effects and modern stage prin- ciples, she hopes to remedy this de- fect.
Lighting will be used> not as a mere method of illumination, but rather to work in perfect harmony with appro- priate make-up, costuming and prop-

Many Alfred Wares At Syracuse Shew
Alfred Ceramics College is playing a prominent part in the National Ex- position of ceramic ware now being held in Syracuse, according to Dean j M. E. Holmes. Faculty, students and alumni of Alfre'd have more ware on ! exhibit than any other institution.
Several Alfred ceramists have been recognize by awards. . i
Dean Holmes will lead a discus-1 sion on "Ceramic Art Education and j Colleges," Friday, at a meetiing of the American Ceramic Society which is being held in Syracuse in connec-, tion with the exposition. Faculty and students of the art department will attend.
Among the leaders of the meeting are L. E. Barringer of the General Electric Company and Guy R. Cowan of Onondaga Pottery Company. Mr.
Cowan is a graduate of Alfred.
Saxon Bandsmen Don The Purple and Gold
"On Saxon Warriors".—and mu- sicians too. The whole university is thrilled at the thought of the new uniforms which will soon grace the University Band.
In describing the new uniforms, Professor Ray W. Wingate says,
"They will be the traditional purple and gold. White military trousers with a gold stripe at the seam furnish the background for the purple coat.
The coat has a military cut in length but a collar which will permit the use of a civilian shirt and tie. All the trimmings are in gold. A purple and gold over-seas cap with the letters A. U. toop of the outfit."
The uniforms have been ordered and are expected by Nov. 1. The formal showing of them for the first time will be at the Niagara game In Hornell, Nov. 2.

<New And Lively • Fiat Lux'
Forseen By Editorial Staff
Of lesser magnitude than the ap- proaching centennial or the million- dollar fund campaign, but in the same spirit of progress, is the reorganiza- tion program to be announced to- night for the "Fiat Lux".
If plans of the editors can be car- ried to completion, the student newspaper will become progressively more lively, more vigorous editorially, and more in conformity, with the standards of city papers than ever before in its 15 years of existence.
From now on the goal will be to make every story not only concise and accurate, but also colorful and pithy—
a combination of good taste and ap- peal to the interests of the student body.
More pictures will be used (when the budget permits) and an extended
effort will be made to keep the make- up and general appearance of the paper pleasing and technically cor- rect.
Certain changes in the Fiat Lux staff may be necessary if it is found that any members are lagging behind the others, according to Miss Dor- othy L. Saunders, editor.
The editorial office in Kenyon Me- morial Hall will be rearranged this week so as to look like a city news room and make possible greater effici- ency. This step is only one of sev- eral "modernizing" attempts.
Tonight in the editorial offices the plan will be explained in detail by the paper's editors. The meeting is called for 7:15 o'clock and every staff member is expected to attend. In- dividual instruction in reporting and writing will be given.

Ceramic Guild
Has New Set Up
A new goal has been set by the Ceramic Guild as it looks forward to its annual Christmas festival and sale. An attempt is being made by Margaret Barvian, president, and her assistants to organize the club so that originality and practicability will be keynotes.
The Guild has been divided into six studios, each run exactly like a pri- vate, commercially owned studio.
Each group follows an individual style, makes a particular kind of ware, and tries to outdo the other in artis- tic quality and achievement.
For the first time in years, the Guild has begun work for the Christ- mas Festival during the first few weeks of school. It is hoped that the new arrangement will facilitate mat- ters, it was told club members. Every mold and design used in fomer years has been scrapped to make way for new and different ideas.
Shelton Cary will supervise the making of molds; Helen Kruger and Mary Ober will make and catalogue all glazes; Randolph Webb, Harold Riegger and Shelton Cary will take charge of all firing operations.
Each studio will carry out a theme of its own under the direction of a student leader* Those who are at the head of shops are: Margaret Barvian, Rose De Rossi, Bernice Mautner, Rupbert Hulteen, Virginia Bragg and Patricia Stull.
"Rivalry and secrecy of commercial etablishments will exist between the groups to spur them on to the best possible achievement. Ware to be ex- hibited at the festival this year will be more practical, more suited to the ordinary individual, more easily understandable," said Miss Barvian today.

Without Policing Agency'-Norwood
Resolutions Will Not Keep America Out of War, President Tells Relations Club
Little Mindedness,
Selfishness Scored Talks On Other Issues To Be Given Soon; Delegates Will Attend Conference
"World peace wilr never come un- til we get an adequate system of in- ternational justice backed by a power- ful force," President J. Nelson Nor- wood told an audience of 60 at the International Relations Club's first calendar meeting last Tuesday.
President Norwood added he be- lieved an international police force instituted without loss to national sovereignty would make the justice program effective. •
"America never will stay out of war by resolutions," Dr. Norwood continued. "We have entered the only four World Wars held since America became of importance—the Spanish Succession, the Seven Years War, the Napoleonic Wars and the World War."
Asked in informal discussion fol- lowing his talk what he considered the greatest enemy of world peace, Dr. Norwood branded little-minded- ness as peace's worst opposition. Na- tional selfishness is another great enemy.
. Speaking on the roots of the Ethiopian question, President Nor- wood pointed to the above statement as a broad sentence covering all in- ternational problems. Preceding this conclusion was a brief history of the roots of the present question.

Many Attending
Organ Vespers
"I want all of the students and townsfolk to feel that the Friday eve- ning organ vespers are their property.
The sole object of these weekly half- hours of quiet, slow moving melodies is to furnish relaxation and inspira- tion at the end of a week's work."
Thus Professor Ray W. Wingate des- cribes the aim and methods of his weekly vesper services held in the Village church from 7:30 to 8:00.
"The vespers were not planned, they grew out of a need and a desire on the part of those who attend them.
My aim is always to keep them strict- ly non-sectarian in nature. No spoken word is heard, no lights are present to distract the eyes,—only soft music filling the darkened auditorium."
"Attendance has always been en- tirely voluntary," continued Professor Wingate. "The usual attendance is about 84. The' record attndance, on a Christmas Eve Carol service was 413."
"All of the numbers are requested.
I want any of the students and towns- folk to feel free to ask for their favorites. Naturally some pieces are so frequently requested that 1 cannot play them immediately."
University Heads

Ceramist's Breakfast Exhibited In Library
The display "A Ceramist's break- fast," sponsored by the Ceramic Guild has been one of the interesting fea- tures in the university library for the past few days. On either side of the main desk are colorful arrangements of a breakfast table, the ceramic wares having been designed and exe- cuted by ceramic students.
One table covered with a rich wine colored cloth shows off effectively a delicately carved breakfast set glazed a pure white. The deep blue in the grapes on each plate lends ai un- usual color combination. This set was designed and carried out by Mary Train of the class of 1934.
A blue set by Marjorie Armant, of the class of 1935, affords strong con- trast to the rust colored cloth which tops a coarse natural-colored linen runner. A pricked design filled with rich blue and purple coloring oxides gives variety to the quiet light blue.
To complete the arrangement the cer- amist indulges in a repast of bananaa and chestnuts, a colorful scheme.

Censored Diet
The Footlight Club in choosing plays to be given by freshmen and sophomores in the tradi- tional Frosh-Soph plays was ambitious and optim- istic. It chose good plays, but ones difficult to produce and to understand.
Several students who have read the plays have expressed doubt concerning the ability of the student body to meet the mood of a somber tragedy or of a symbolic fantasy. Every effort on the part of stage and lighting crews is being made to create the atmosphere that will make a sympathetic reception possible.
Surely, it would reflect poorly on the intel- ligence of a student body if it could not appreci- ate drama. Do we need to be talked down to?
Must all serious elements be censored from our mental diet?
Drawing The Line
Time and again the question of the value of college athletics has been discussed. Students and alumni constantly complain that some schools put too much stress uppon athletics; others put too little. There are those on the Alfred campus who take a moderate, extreme or indifferent at- titude.
When alumni return to the Alma Mater for a game, they wish, naturally, to see their team win. If the team consistently fails, they are disappointed. While the university is to be commended for wanting nothing but good clean sport with a win or lose attitude of good sports- manship, it is confronted with the opinion of this group of athletic enthusiasts.
The second group to make itself heard does not believe in emphasizing intercollegiate ath- letics. Those who say "we come to college to study" cannot be considered a negligible factor.
Consisting of those who go out for athletics, the third group includes those who believe that the school should give athletes more considera- tion. Why are they not justified in making this request? They go out for football and spend sev- eral hours a day working-out on the field, and are completely exhausted by the time they are ready to study. They may fell that they have just cause for the complaint that they are sometimes overlooked by the coaches, professors, admin- istration or students.
The question is, where will we draw the line ?
What Would Happen?
Did you ever stop to think what would happen on the Alfred campus if each person sud- denly caught an idea, some elusive purpose or urge to do something?
If every individual found a goal toward which to strive and something tangible to do toward progress, what might not be the result A glimpse of such a campus, a world, as might evolve in this event is breath-taking. Every or- ganization, every classroom, every institution would be re-vitalized, swift-moving, valuable.
Contacts between students, and between students and professors would be stimulating and power- ful.
We do not need the example of Russia to show us what youth needs. We sense it ourselves.
In bull sessions everywhere, young men and wo- men are expressing their need for a compelling force or drive.
We young people are demanding something to work for. Why do we expect someone to fur- nish us what we haven't gumption and interest enough to look for ourselves. Passively we say to our elders, why don't you find something to- ward which we may struggle.
Aimlessly we grope about in search for suc- cess, happiness. Coud not each student take time off to think about what he wants from col- lege and from life? To compare what he is get- ting now and what he might get if he really tried would be' self-revealing in the extreme. Once definitely formulated, the goal would be within one's sight, if not immediately, one's grasp.
Luckily, we wouldn't all want the same thing;
not many would excel in the same phase of life.
But, we would attain a different atmosphere, a powerfully moving force that would work wonders on this campus,—or anywhere.
Begin now—use full steam ahead in some direction!
Roman Empire==Old And New==Among Library Treats
Dr. Nease, professor of Lation and Greek, suggests a wide variety of books for general reading.
..I, Claudius and Claudius the God by Graves offer entertaining material of a lighter nature. Equally interesting are The Life of Rome by Rogers and Harley and The Achievement of Rome by Greene.
In a more profound class are Van Hook's Great Life and Thought, Magie Spades by Magoffln and -Davis, Strun- sky's King Akhnaton and Kenyon's Books and Readers in Ancient Greece and Romefl
These books are all on display at the right of the library and may be drawn out on Friday by applying to the librarian.
Strangely prophetic of the present African situation is Mandoa, Mandoa!, a book written by Winifred Holtby and published in 1933.
The British author, who died re- cently in London, was always con- cerned with important social and po- litical problems. In a letter which Miss Moltby recently wrote to May Lamberton Becker she said, "What
amused me was to find, writing in Abyssinia, how right many of my shots in the dark (in Mandoa) seem to have been. Lord Buxton, who was British adviser to the Emperor about the slave trade, sent for me to ask how I had obtained much of my in- formation, which was true but sup- posed to be private. I can only sup- pose that sometimes satire is nearer truth than the satirist knows."
This book is now available in the political articles on the present crisis University Library.
Various angles of the Italia- Ethiopean question which is being hotly discussed in many Alfred cir- cles may be persued in the wealth of information in the subject now avail- able at the library. This feature topic is being given special consideration this week and various and sundry ar- ticles of literary merit are on display.
The Man in the Purple Shirt is the first short story of Ethiopia which appears in the October issue of the
his country's case against Ethiopia is given by Roberto Forges in the Oc- tober issue of Current History. The author, a member of the Italian sen- ate, is editor of Tribuna of Rome and is one of Italy's foremost political writers.
Some new and startling aspects of the present controversy gleaned large- ly from official sources, are revealed by Elizabeth p. Mac Callum in her re- cent work Rivalries in Ethiopia. This is an objective study of British, French and Italian penetration into Ethiopia during a period of several decades.
A special series of studies on the subject has been put out by the Ge- neva Research Center in pamphlet form. The result of this work under- taken in collaboration with the For- eign Policy Association, U. S. A., is at your disposal. Material of a simi- lar nature as seen by the Italian His- torical Society is also there.

All right, folks, gather around and get an earful.
It seems as if we have in our midst a student whose early ambition was to become a sailor and sail the seven seas. But lo and behold—he's now sailing boats on the Kanakadea.
Yes—it's good ol' Dan Minnick—by the way Danny make sure your next date on Sunday night isn't kept out after 9 p. m.
Don Hayward better be careful—
his line is so flathering that the freshmen fish are biting, the suckers.
Who was the frosh in Bartlett that was stranded in Hornell a few weeks ago and had the audacity to ask the chief of police to convey his carcass back to Alfred in a squad car? (No, he didn't get the ride, but kept the chief company all night).
Last Thursday evening about a craving for some excitement politely and with much delight borrowed a horse and wagon and "merrily they rode along" until the animal thought that it was about time to show these six city boys what country roads were like. Result the horse started to gal- lop and the boys started to pray.
One received skin lacerations and the others swore off riding in the moon- light. Ah, romance was in the mak- ing—but to think that a horse could interfere?
Ruth M. while trying to play the so- called game of tennis, was placed in a rather peculiar situation. - She wanted to know which side of the racket was used to hit the ball. I believe a bsket would answer your question. (Am I in for it?)
Rose Rosemary H. has stated that she won't date because she has so many ardent admirers. Who was the young man a few nights ago? Take it easy Gilly!
Frank Giannasio, who was hurt re- cently, is achieving his sole aim, re- ceiving sympathy from Margie
Good goin Frankie.
Who was the city slicker who kept boasting about the big city and then had to carry a sandwich sign—naughty boy trying to induce the people to move to the big city.
iBy the way Straw you're only play- ing a part with your leading lady—
don't be so serious by inviting her to the Collegiate after each perfor- mance—'What about it Peggy?
There was a little argument in the Collegiate the other day, Eric and Joe came in for some ice cream.
Neither offered to pay and the result, Joe gave in. We are now taking do- nations for Joe's loss.
A certain freshman in Bartlett, who goes by the name of Louis has been calling up the operator since school started and asking for a date—but the answer was always no. Louis try giving her your right name—then per- haps
Charlie F. seems to be hitting the highlights with Irma. What about B. B.?
Have you folks ever wondered why people look so surprised when a rich man in his forties marries a girl half his age? Isn't he getting the best little wife that money can buy?
SIDE LINE
SLANTS
Outstanding performances by the Varsity Cross Country team and the Frosh iFootball squad. It was a thrilling sight for Alfred fans to see as spectacular a finish as the one in the cross country meet with the Rochester hill and dalers. Five Alfred men, with Captain Ross Dawson herding them from sixth position, crossed the line together. That was a swell performance by Ross and we are sure that Charlie Forbes appreciates the break as much as it is possible. Incidentally the talk around has it that the Ro- chester boys didn't like to see the Forbes go by.
S—L—S
Football took on a discouraging outlook as the team went to an in- glorious defeat before an inferior Buffalo team. There were too many breaks in the game and there weren't enough of them for Alfred. However, the Olarkson team didn't do too well against a weak R. p. I. team, so the prospects for the coming week-end shouldn't be black as far as the team is concerned.
S—L—S
We understand that the team had a meeting immediately upon arriving back in Alfred. It must have been a hard job for Coach Cox to keep his charges from feeling a little downhearted. And to be sure, Alfred students haven't been too kind in the past to teams who have just lost games to a team like Buffalo. Undoubtedly they don't realize the trouble that their attitude causes, but it still presents a problem.
S—L—S
The Frosh had rather an easy go of it agains a weak Buffalo Frosh eleven. It always gives a great deal of pleasure to see the score well up on the Alfred side of the board and it certainly couldn't make the boys on the bench mad when their turn came to substitute.
S—L—S
While it wasn't such a good day for the Frosh cross country men, still there was a tinge of Alfred in the victory of the Vocational School men.
Pat iHughes coached that team and we couldn't help but notice a certain glow of satisfaction as his charges outran the Alfred boys. Altogether the Hughes family had quite a day in the cross country field when brother Bob Hughes stepped across the line with the first five in the varsity meet.
3—L—S
The Varsity Hill and Dalers will have their hands full when they tackle Army this week. Army downed Cornell, Saturday, that same Cor- nell outfit that took Alfred two weeks ago. However, the Alfred boys have gained some experience since that time and no one is conceding anyone else anything until the last man is in.

Dear Editor:
A series of articles as suggested in the "Keeping Posted" editorial of sev- eral weeks ago would be an excellent idea. Discussion of politics, inter- national questions, music, drama, art and literature could help students be informed up to the last minute on world affairs. They would no longer be graduated into a chaotic world of whose functionlngs they were some- what in doubt after a four year in- carceration on a college campus.
However, a minor drawback to such a plan is the fact that Alfred students (or those of any college) are too ig- norant of the meaning of world affairs to be able to interpret them for others.
And if they did try, probably few would have interest enough, or be able to take time off to read them.
Cynical Sophomore Dear Editor:
A group of earnest workers in the theatre will be more than recom- pensed for their effort if the Frosh- Soph plays appeal to the eye as well as to the ear.
Strange to some may be the use of modern design in staging, lighting, costumes and make-up. To them may I suggest a method of appreciation:
not a feverish reach into the technical or unusual nature of the presentation, but an absorption, gradual and harm- less, in the mood and thought of the drama.
The spectator relaxes in his chair;
How would you like a guaranteed course in the gentle are of slinging alibis?
Offered without fees, textbook, or lab expenses or professional charges, this course is available easily to the Alfred University student who seeks perfection in that line.
The secret of the course? Simply become a manager, whether of Fiat, football, campus duty, or any other branch. To you wwi come a motley crew of campus duty assignee's, most- ly freshmen, who are bidden, without personal volition, to work for the good of "Dear Old Alma Mama".
And as you, manager or assistant manager, greet these woebegone frosh with cheerful assignment to parading football grounds, folding Fiats, selling
programs and whatnot, your liberal education begins.
One brilliant frosh, for example, tells the assistant business manager of the Fiat that he must seek ads for said Fiat, Physical examinations, football practices, play rehearsals and choir singers crop up at oppor- tune times for the freshman's con- venience.
Through the long-running tale of extra activity which throws itself up against the student managers, you will pick up those clever bits of ar- ranging which a composite freshman would know. Your college course henceforth will be one long, smooth glide.
For you can alway tell a freshman, but you can't tell him to do much while he has his stock of alibies on the cuff.
he is prepared for a definite type of drama, comedy or fantasy as the case may be; he catches the spirit of the drama in its design; he feels the pro- gressive movement of the drama in its content; he contemplates; he is drawn irrestibly into the thrall of the drama and it takes on a new meaning.
M. K. R.
To the Editor of the Fiat Lux:
In regard to your recent editorial on athletic injuries and physical exam- inations:
Physical examinations for our ath- letes is an old Alfred Myth. Nomin- ally every man who goes out for any sport is in A-l condition. But is this actually true?
The average athlete dashes into the Infirmary for an examination. If his temperature and pulse are not too far from normal, the athlete is pounded on the back a couple of times and told to give his all for dear old Alfred.
As for strict training rules—they have long ceased to be even a myth.
Can we expect to have winning teams without better cooperation on the part of the authorities and the athletes as well?
Alfred Athlete Dear Editor:—
Peculiar, these Sundays of of ours.
We either travel the shoe leather ex- press or amuse ourselves or each other playing "Old Maid" or "Cat".
As the bell tolls we make a mad dash to sign in vaguely realizing that we have frittered away another Sunday evening.
In view of these things an hour of organ music might lift us from the gutter to the curb; on the other hand a Young People's society might pos- sibly raise us to the sidewalk.
May Sundays bring us a thought to- day instead of headache tomorrow.
E. A. H.
there is little to do. ' Every other night there are two or three places of recreation open. Why can't we have something Sunday evenings?
Perhaps an hours organ recital from 8 to 9 by Prof. Wingate—perhaps an hour of music by one of the choirs or glee clubs, or perhaps an hour of religious plays or movies.
We ask for something to do.
May we have it?

No World Peace (Continued from page one) and because Mussolini needs spectacu- lar doings to keep in power, Italy took Ethiopian banditry as an excuse for his advance. The powers, on the other hand, began to realize that the White Man's Burden theme is out- worn. They oppose Italy's transgres-
»lon for many reasons.
England, the chief objector, fears the loss of the balance of power and fears Italy will threaten the large Ethiopian lake which is the source of Egypt's fertil Blue Nile. It would be no impossible feat of enginnering, Dr. Norwood said, to change the Blue Nile's direction and turn it away from English Sudan into the Red Sea.

Frosh-Soph Plays
(Continued from page one) erties to create a mood, a sympathetic understanding between actors and the audience.
"This new principle," said Miss Rogers, "should eliminate that 'school boy' fault of laughing during a tragedy merely because one of the actors can be recognized underneath his make- up."
A comedy by Russell Medcraft,
"The First Dress Suit," heads the list of entertainment to be offered by the Footlight Club, Monday night. A young man whose dress suit fails to arrive in time for his wedding at- tempts to borrow the "first dress suit"
of the bride's brother. The result of this effort form the basis of the play.
The cast, under the direction of Marguerite Baumann and Bernice Tanner, includes: Winifred Rockwell as Betty Harding; Albert Groth as Teddy Harding; Rachel Saunders as Mrs. Harding; and Vincent Abel as John Drake, the bridegroom.
A decided contrast in atmosphere and tone will be offered in the pre- entation of the second play, Maeter- link's impressive tragedy "The In- truder". The blind grandfather, play- ed by John Dougherty, is the only one in the household who senses the strange and terrifying presence of an intruder within the family circle, Death.
Kenneth Lomas and Alvin Ivler take the roles of father and uncle, respec- tively. The part of Ursula, only one who really understands the grand- father, is taken by Ruth Milstein.
Other parts are taken by Virginia Robinson and Margaret Chester as the other two daughters, and by Joyce Wanamaker as the servant. Dorothy Saunders is director of the play.
The third offering "A Good Woman"
is a farce, a sophisticated comedy by Arnold (Bennett. The story of a girl who feels it her duty to break her engagement to the man she loves in order to marry a former suitor who has just returned from war, the play ends appropriately.
Winifred Winikus as Rosamund Fife Bernie Eldridge as James Brett, and Sandy Arkin as,, Gerald O'Mara, the returning soldier, compose the cast. Margery Sherman is coach.
Another type of play will be found in "Aria da Capa," a fantasy by Edna St. Vincent Millay. The plot is a satire on the futility of war, as shown by Pierrot and Columbine who repre- sent the masque-like elements in the play.
Rosemary Hallenbeck as Columbine;
Stanley Ballard as Pierrot; Karl Guelich as Cathurus, Stuart Pollock as Thyresis and Robert Beers as Coryden make us the cast. Robert Howe is directing the fantasy. Rus- sell Buccholz is stage manager in charge of the four plays.

Theta Chi Entertains Honoraries At Supper
Down the time-honored aisles of Alfred's own Alumni Hall trod some 130 freshman men, carefully enumer- ating their campus rule compliances as they stepped closer to looming per- sonages at the doorway.
It was post-assembly time last Thursday. Judge Sidney Fine of Campus Court was directing' his sub- ordinates through a complete search of Alfred freshman men.
Appraising eyes flashed over each quivering rookie as he filed through the door. Black ties? Black socks?
Matches? No rings? Thus ran the chant. Most passed unstained through the portals of the institution, but an unlucky few whose over- am- bitious study th night before had made them lax in stocking for camp- us rules fell before the scythe-
