SUMMER SCHOOL'S ADVANTAGES FOR STUDENTS

Number Plan to Attend—Courses Not in Regular Session

A number of college students are planning to stay the coming session of the Summer School This institu- tion offers a splendid opportunity for any persons who are bcihind in their college work or who have courses to be made up to accomplish their de- sires and put themselves even with the game at the beginning of the next

FOOTLIGHT CLUB ADMITTING MEMBERS

List of Candidates Large—Amend ment Would Admit Twice a Year Still considering, is the. Footlight Club, its list of candidates for mem- bership. At a meeting held last Fri- day a great many names were proposed of those who have appeared in this year's dramatics. A few were selected; however, since there are still a great many to be voted upon the Club does not wish to . publish the names already approved.

An amendment to the constitution was proposed at the same meeting. If it is carried, members may be voted in twice during the school year in- stead of once, as now obtains.

ELECTION OF STUDENT SENATE MEMBERS WEDNESDAY

MORNING Organization Tomorrow The personelle of next year's Stu dent Senate was chosen at the stu dent body meeting Wednesday. The Junior nominations were voted upon first and resulted in the election by Willard Sutton and Edward Saunders

>n the first ballot and Rose Trenkle on the second ballot. Following this the Sophomore nomination slips were given out and on the first ballot Clif- :ord Potter and Anna Savage were .he successful candidates. At a re cent meeting of the Frosh Alexander Kcmyon was selected as their repre scntative for the ensuing year.

Tomorrow, according to the con stitution is the regular time for organization of the new senate and a 'iieeting has been called by President Groves. Both the newly elected senate and the retiring one meet jointly, with the retiring president presiding, and elect officers for next year. Only Seniors who have serv- ed one year on the Senate are. elig- ible, which will leave the contest be ';ween Sutton and Saunders as they are the only ones thus qualified.

SHAKESPEAREAN PAGEANT AT COMMENCEMENT

Senior's Class Day Exercises—Based On "Mid-summer Night's Dream"

Shakespeare is to be recognized at Commencement. The Senior class will give a pageant based on a part of

"Mid-summer Night's Dream". Noth ing could be more lovely for out of doors than the fairy element in the play. Oberon and Titania and Puck, and the fairies who are called such simply, will make most delightful entertainment. Beside, the class has able talent to make the actual working of the play successful. One may especially believe that Miss Vander Veer, who has charge of it, will make

the dances very pleasing.

FOOTBALL SCHEDULE ANNOUNC- ED BY MANAGER WHITFORD

OROPHILIAN LYCEUM There will be a special meeting of the active members of the Orophilian Lyceum, and all old members who wish to attend and become active, at the office of Pres. Davis in the Library building, Thursday evening, May 18, at 7 P. M. Be sure and come.

All College Game Schedule—An Un- usually Hard One

The 1916 football schedule as an nounced by Graduate Manager Whit- ford, includes probably seven college games and one practice game. This schedule is the hardtst and of tbt highest standard ever undertaken by an Alfred eleven and should give next year's team a test which, if they are able to withstand, will place them in the front ranks in minor college athletics.

Alfred supporters will have an opportunity to witness every contest of the Varsity as all but one game will be played on the local field, while this with St. Bonaventure will be fought out in Wellsville. As yet the practice game has not been scheduled but it has been assured that a team that will be able to give the Varsity a hard rub will be secured. Canisus College will be the first college eleven played, while the game with St. Bona, November 17, will in all probabilities be the last of the season. The schedule:

Practice game, Sept. 29, Alfred Thiel College, Oct. 3, Alfred Buffalo (pending) Oct. 20, Alfred Clarkson College, Oct. 27, Alfred Hobart College, Nov. 10, Alfred St. Bonaventure

College, Nov. 17, Alfred

DO YOUR PART!

Tomorrow Alfred will have the largest number of guests of any time of the year. Interscholastic Day means a big time and a big crowd, and moreover they are the guests of Alfred. Some that are present will attend college here sometime; the number will depend largely upon the manner in which they are entertain- ed throughout the day. Others will not attend college here but they are influential people from this section of the state and the impression they carry away from such an event will decide what their attitude towards Alfred shall be. Then too, there is the disinterested responsibility that parries with it our duty to give the stranger the best of everything whether he will or not do anything for . Alfred. It is a time when it is our

duty and to our interest to give our- selves to those we have invited here by holding such an event, and every- body should give himself or harself unstintingly to whatever responsibil- ities that are involved.

Some improvement has been noted during the past week in the number that use the path across the upper park. It now ramains to convince the others that it should be discon- tinued, and for those who have hark- ened to remember it. If you must use a short cut there is one provided by the driveway the other side of the Kanakadea.

ALFRIEDIAN AND ATHENAEAN .LYCEUMS COMBINE Women's Society Under C. W. O.—

Organization Being Effected

On Thursday evening the Athe- naean Lyce>ums held individual meetings for the purpose of discussing the problems of the Lyceum. Due to the many outside activities which continually conflice with the weekly meetings of those societies, the en- thusiasm and attendance has gradual- ly declined, so it was considered necessary to make some change that would perhaps bring about a renewal of spirit. At the beginning of this school year there was an attempt made to join the members of these two societies into a new literary organization. This idea was abandon- and nothing more done, until this new proposition was conceived. The two Lyceums voted to disband and have now formed, in connection with the College Woman's Organization, into one body. The purpose of this new organization is to fulfill the aims of thc< C. W. O. and also to take charge of the social functions which the Ly- ceums . have stood for. It is hoped by those interested in such work, that this action will prove successful and will satisfactorily fill the place of the Lyceums. A committee, has been

FORD B. BARNARD '16, HAS DONE MOST FOR ALFRED

Active and Loyal Worker Receives Honor—Sent Many Students Here

Ford B. Barnard, '16, of Corning was, by vote of the students Wednes- day, acclaimed as having done most for Alfred during the year and is accor- dingly winner of the gold medal that is awarded in recognition of this honor.

This medal which is given by a member of the Twentieth Century Club through that organization was offered this year for the first time. This marks the second successful candicacy of Barn- ard's in a competitive contest for a Twentieth Century medal, he having last year won the Press Club medal.

The method of decision this year was first by informal balloting, following which the five highest were to be voted upon. Barnard secured a high ma- jority on the informal ballot, and a motion that the secretary of the Stu- dent Senate cast a unanimous ballot for him was passed without dissenting vote. Barnard has been an active worker for the university since the first day he struck Alfred and at no time has his loyalty flagged. He was president of the Y. M. tC. A. in his Junior year, business manager of the 1916 Kanakadea, and present manager of the Fiat Lux Aside from this he has secured a large number of students for Alfred until the Corning delegation out numbers all other places, while his service in the Press Club last year was very extensive.

INTERSCHOLASTIC DANCE CLOSES EVENTS TO-

MORROW

The Interscholastic Dance given in honor of the guests will close the events of the day. This dance has come to be a regular part of the meet and as all.guests are welcome it is of an informal nature. In the past the attendance has been the largest of all dances and tomorrow evennig will witness an even more popular occasion. A special committee has been placed in charge and it has been for- tunate* to secure Merriman's four piece orchestra. Dancing will begin at 9 o'clock, with the assessment of

$1.00.

DR. JOHNSON LECTURES Owing to lack of time* the lectures of Dr. Johnson, the noted penologist.

will be postponed until next year. Dr.

Johnson was unable to deliver any one of these lectures before the weeks of examinations and Com- mencement so it was thought advis- able to put them over until next year.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS AND CAMPUS RULES RE-

VISIONS PASSED

White Trouser Rule Alone Failed—

Frosh Solid Against

At the meeting of the student body at the assembly hour Wednesday, all the amendments to the Student Assoc- iations Constitution were passed and all but one of the proposed revisions to the campus rules. Vote was made to act upon the amendments as a whole and they were quickly dispatched, but when the attempt was made to act upon the campus rules a snag was struck in the solid freshmen vote against it. The cause of the frosh objection was the rule allowing only upperclassmen to wear white trousers, and inasmuch as a two-thirds vote is required on such questions, they with a large attendance had controlling voice.

Following this the rules were taken up section by section and passed, with the exception of the white trouser rule, without discussion as all were clearly of a desirable nature. Many of them were merely of a technical nature, while the changes of impor- tance were: A sentence added to section 7 makes it obligatory to post in some public place a map of the campus ai. the beginning of each school year.

This will prevent any misunderstanding as to the limits where smoking is pro- hibited and within which procs can be posted. All freshmen and freshmen specials shall report when called upon by upperclassmen for all duty pertain- ing to college activities. Heretofore student sentiment has ,'required this, although as a matter of fact the college men have been required by the rules to assist only with athletic work. Under this certain specified work and the word " e t c . " make them responsible for all work. Section 12 provides that freshmen show due respect to faculty members and seniors, this year there being added the phrase "giving pre- cedence on the Tennis Courts, etc."

This rule settles a heretofore discussed question as to whether this rule im- plied that. The ruling concerning white trousers was not discussed as the members saw the impossibility of securing a two-thirds vote with the controlling power in the hands of the frosh, who upon a vote v> ent solidly against it.

FROSH TO WEAR CAPS TO- MORROW

Senate So Decrees—Aids Officials In Spotting Them

According to decision of the Student Senate as announced in Assembly last Wednesday, the Frosh will have to wear their green caps to-morrow, Interscholastic Day. This question has been a much mooted one for years, yet it has usually resulted in the youngest class having to don the specified headgear as though classes were in session. General consensus of opinion seems to justify this course, inasmuch as it is desired to give the Interscholastic Day guests a touch of college life in its ordinary run and to enable the Meet officials to spot Frosh assistants without any difficulty.

The part the Frosh play in the days' work is not much different from that of other students when all unite in successfully conducting the Meet, but each one is always at the command of an official for whatever presents itself.

In the confusion and rush that is experienced on such an occasion it is a great assistance in finding men when a hurry-up need is met.

This as explained by President Groves also includes the Speaking Contest and dance in the evening.

FACULTY IN TRIM FOR SENIOR FACULTY GAME

The Senior-Faculty baseball game will probably be played Monday of Commencement Week. The faculty are in high spirits as usual over the prospect of meeting their student rivals and their prospects certainly look promising with the addition of Banta, who is reported to have played in the leagues. If practice goes for anything, the faculty have a good start for not a night has passed that some of the old stars have not been down on the field. Pontius is hastening his training with a nightly jog around the field, with Banta and Randolph as partners.

The Seniors would he wise to get busy at once, even though they will have a great advantage with such stars as Hunting and Burdick in their ranks.

COLLEGE CALENDAR 1916-17 BE ING ARRANGED

Student Senate at Work—Important That Students Co-operate

Next years' college calendar is being arranged by the present Student Senate and it is desired by them that all college organizations hand to the president or secretary all notices and dates of functions for next school year before Friday, May 26th. The compilation of this calendar involves considerable work and this years' Senate has had the privilege of doing it twice, inasmuch as the chotic condition in which the executive branch of the student body was left last year by the en- forced resignation of the president, left the work until last fall.

The value of such a calendar is quite obvious, yet all senates have com- plained of the inability to secure the co-operation of the students in com- piling it. Its advantages are numerous for anything there has been passed upon by the Student Life Committee, and so does not require special per- mission, all events and entertainments receive advance notice, and it gives the students a definite idea of what is to take place during the year. Fore- most, however, and the chief cause of the adoption of this method of arrang- ing events in 1913, is that it allows a distribution of time available, thereby preventing crowding and conflictions, and thus keeps things running smooth- ly. In this way it seeks to prevent the accumulation of events such as were experienced this year when two or three entertainments were not well attended because of too many within a limited time. The senate feels that this can be entirely obviated by the careful co-operation of the students both in making the calendar as complete as possible and by adhering as nearly as possible throughout the year to it.

FROSH AND SOPHS TO CROSS BATS NEXT FRIDAY

Both Confident of Victory

The spirit of the last strictly un- derclass contest is in the air. The Freshmen will meet the Sophomores on the college diamond next Friday afternoon. Both classas have been preparing long and faithfully for this event and an interesting game is assured. Capt. Mitchell of the ninteen bunch says "We plan to lick anything we come up against." "But the proof of the pudding is in the eating." Capt.

Crawford of the class of '18, was out of town when the Fiat was going to press but, no doubt, he would have predicted a decisive score in their favor. Who knows? Let's all be on hand at the hour of proving.

William Garwood '14, of Pine Plains, N. Y., where he is principal of of tha high school, was a guest at the K. K. K. House Saturday.

GLEE CLUB JOURNEYED TO ANDOVER

Ranks Depleted by Illness—Hornell Third Appearance Thursday

Those of the Glee Club that were not confined with the mumps went to Andover Wednesday evening and gave a half hour of entertainment at the Baseball Fair which was in progress there last week. In addition to the three Glees and their encores, Robert Greene filled out the entertainment with one of his readings which, was very well received. The Andover News says of the concert, " T h e Glee Club is the very best that we know of anywhere "

The Club, with full ranks again, it is hoped, will travel to Hornell next Thursday evening to give a concert at the First Baptist Church. I t surely is a feather in the boys' cap, when after appearing twice in Hornell, they are able to arrange a third engagement there. An excellent compliment was paid the club in a recent letter to President Davis by Miss Beatrice Vart Abbott of Cornwall-on-the-Hudson, daughter of Dr. Lyman Abbott. She writes, " We enjoyed the entire concert of the Glee Club and wish to con- gratulate you on the kind of men Al- fred sends out."

STOCK JUDGING CONTEST TO MORROW

COLLEGE STUDENTS MAKE BIG HIT IN PLAY

Greene '16, as Jones Had Lead

"What Happened to Jones?" For one thing he made a hit when pre- sented at Firemens Hall last Tues- day evening for the benefit of the Allen Civic Club. In this play there were several parts taken by college students and professors, all of whom carried them well. It was the best and most enjoyed play of this nature given in Alfred for some time.

Robert Greene 16, as Jones, had the lead and as such, kept the entire performance going and had the audience with him every minute. Ford Barnard '16, as Richard, a young business man, Harold Clausen '17, on the part of Bbenezer Goodley, Professor of Anatomy, Eva Williams '16, and Helen Gardiner '17, daughters of Ebeneser, Elmer Hunting '16, as Rev.

Anthony Goodley, D. D., and Mary Saunders '17, as Thelma, the maid, were as ably handled as could be asked for. Prof. Clarke had the part of Bigby, a harmless lunatic, and Cur- tis P. Randolph that of the police- man.

Y. M. C. A.

The meeting Sunday evening was a very interesting one. The subject

"(What's Wrong With the World?"

was ably introduced by the leader, Elmer L. Hunting. He said that the word "Darkness"' expressed what he thought was wrong with the world.

And this darkness was caused by s'n, ignorance, and war. After the remarks of Mr. Hunting a lively discussion followed. Some one asked (lie question, "What would be the use in living If the world had no wrong in it?"

At the meeting next Sunday even- t ing a report of the Layman's Mission- ary Convention, held a few weeks ago in Washington, will be givon by Paul Burdick. All the fellows are cordial ly invited.

HIKERS ON THE MOVE—HOR NELL SATURDAY

WeeMEnd Trip Planned—To Camp Along Route

Saturday morning a squad of Hikers, a dozen strong, donned their hiking raiment and took to the road for a practice hike to Hornell. This hike was to toughen the old members for the big hike which is soon to come, and to allow the new members to work off their twenty-five mile preparatory hike.

After "The Birth of a Nation" had been wept and cheered at, the hikers turned th'&ir dusty and betarred feet homewards and the first big short hike of the season was soon over.

Sidney Burdick, Howard Kenyon, Morie Hendrickson, Howard Kirk and Frobisher Lytle became on this hike qualified members of the Hiker's Club.

Saturday evening an important meeting of the hikers was held in the Y. M. C. A. rooms to discuss the big hike of the season which will take place in a few days. At this writing no definite plans have been made, although two routes are being considered. One route would take the hikers through Hornell, Arkport, Stony Brook Glen, Canaseraga, Bird- sail, Angelica and Belmont. The second takes them through Wellsville, Stannards, Shongo, Genesee and Hic- kox to the famous ice mine at Sweden Valley.

This year the hikers intend to spend the entire time in the open air and to this end blankets will be carried and a stop for the night will be made wherever convenient. This will be roughing it in true style and will be no worse, so they say, than the corrugated steel mattress found at some of the stop overs.

More news from the front next week.

RAIN POSTPONED TENNIS TOURNAMENT

Start Has to Wait—Mixed Doubles Added

Rain postponed the opening of the annual tennis tournament, which was scheduled for yesterday. In addition to this if the weather prophets are to be relied upon the first week of the event will find pretty rough going, for Manager Randolph has been given the tip off that it is going to be a wet, cold week. Be that as it may, this year's tournament promises to see some interesting developments de- spite the somewhat decreased number of entries over last year, which de- crease is all tho. more surprising in view of the greateir interest mani- fest this year because of the absence of Varsity baseball. All the runners- up of last year are entered besides many of a mediocre nature so that even faster tennis will be the general rule than heretofore.

Not more than a half dozen women have so far signified their intention of entering the singles but an eleventh hour effort to increase this number may avail something. A new feature of the tournament will be the mixed doubles. Previously there has not been enough interest in this match to secure entries but already enough have shown their desire to en- ter. By another week the tournament will, if the weather is at all kind, have got away to a good start and the matches begin entering the semi-final stages.

RECITAL BY PUBLIC SPEAKING CLASSES

Two Evenings Next Week—Public Invited

Now for the public speakers. For two evenings, Monday and Tuesday of next week, Miss Weed's classes will hold the stage in Kenyon Me- morial Hall. Miss Weed, who is the instructor in public speaking in the College^, has arranged the recitals for two reasons, for the entertainment of the public which is cordially invited, and to afford an opportunity for the speakers to appear before a large audience. Both reasons suggest that the greater the attendance, the more fully will the purpose be fulfilled.

Y. W. C. A. LAWN PARTY TO SENIOR WOMEN

A lawn party is to be given Tues- day evening on the Brick lawn and porch in honor of the Senior women by the members of the Y. W. C. A..

AG SCHOOL PURCHASES PERCHERON TEAM

Alfred University can feel justly proud of her new pure-bred team of Percheron colts. These colts which are mares, were1 purchased by Prof. B.

E. Pontius of the Ag School. These colts were purchased from W. W. Fer- guson of Delaware- County, Ohio, and are three years of ago. They are registered by the Percheron Society of America under the following names: Karimee II, 108280, and Ellena 108281. They weigh 1650 pounds each at present. With good care and exercise, which they are now re- ceiving, these colts should easily reach 1800 pounds or more when de- veloped.

SUMMER SCHOOL'S ADVANTAGES

FOR STUDENTS Continued from page one

regular session of the college. The work of collegiate grade to be had in the Summer School is equal in every respect to that of the courses given during the college year. It has the advantage of being more intensive and the classes are smaller so that the stu dent receives more personal attention from the instructor. Again some of the work offered in summer school is not given during the regular session This is true in modern languages, an- cient languages, education, science English and in other departments. By diligence and application as high as eight semester hours of work can be done during the six weeks. Thus the advantages of Summer School work e worthy of your earnest consider ation.

LIBRARIANS TO MEET IN ALFRED

An all day meeting of the librarians of this vicinity will be held in Alfred, Thursday of this week. Two sessions will be held, one in the morning, the other in the afternoon, while at four o'clock. Miss Caroline Web ster, Librarian Organizer from the State Department, will deliver a stereopticon lecture on New York Library buildings. The general topic of the day will be "Promoting the Usefulness of the Library," the speakers for which are Miss Brooks of the Olean library, Miss Thatcher of the Hornell library, and Prof. Clawson of Alfred. Any one interested in such work is invited to any or all sessions.

TRAINING FOR INTERCLASS MEET

With the. Interclass track meet two weeks from today, the most practic- ing is being done that has been wit- nessed by any recent meet. Chief among those who have gone into tho game early are the Frosh who are anxious to win, thus making a clean sweep of their athletic r.ecord during their first year. For the past week they have been out in force and prom- ise to give<, with good material and consistent training, all other classes a run for their money. However the Juniors are not resting on the laurels won the past two years and are tak- ing their turn a t training in order to win the third time and so secure oermancmt possession of the cup.

TO MIKE KENYON'S MUSTACHE

How like a cobweb hang'st thou o'er his lip,

Each tiny hair immaculate1 in place, Shielded from harm when he his soup

doth sip,

The very essence of tonsorial grace!

Yet I must dread the time when thou art grown.

All bristly and unkempt and base, Dippad in all beverages ever known-

The veritable strainer of his face.

Still, as I gaze on thee in anxious thought,

I sometimes wonder, are you there or not •—Contributed.
