Cut In Ceramic, Ag School Funds Seen I n State Budget Cut

To Legislators
•CURTAILMENT OF EDUCA- TIONAL PROGRAMS of the New York Stale College of Ceramics
¡and of the New York State School of Agriculture at Alfred Univer- sity may be the direct result of the state legislature's passage of the new cut budget, Friday. The cut in state aid to education, among other economy measures, was pushed through both houses by the Republican majority de- spite protest from educators, par- ent groups, teachers, and students.
The Student Senate of Alfred Uni- versity joined other protesting student groups, as they voted Wednesday, to send telegrams to legislators from t h i s area, urging defeat of t h e proposed cut budget. Senate President John Dougherty '39 sent the following mes- sage t o Assemblyman MacKenzie and State Senator Joe Hanley:
"The Student Senate, representative governing body of Alfred University students, whole-heartedly opposes any | cut in education grants in the state budget f o r 1939-40."
Legality Question
As yet, there is some question a s to the legality of the new budget. Gov- ernor Lehman is expected to sign the bill under protest so that t h e issue will go before t h e courts. Although Attorney-General Bennett has declared that t h e new budget is unconstitution- al, newspaper comment in the Buffalo Evening News, Friday, indicated that there w a s no question a» to the val- idity of t h e cut in state aid for schools and highways and that t h e budget cut would be effective.
At present, it is difficult to ascer- tain just how t h e cut will affect the Ceramic College and Agricultural School at Alfred. State Commissioner of Education Graves h a s announced that if t h e cut goes into effect, there would be definite curtailment of functions1 or reduction of student en- rolled in such schools a s t h e State Col- lege of Ceramics, and that t h e enroll- ment of t h e S t a t e School of Agricul- t u r e at Alfred, among others, would be reduced.
Holmes Statement Dean Major E. Holmes; in a state- ment t o a F i a t Lux reporter, Sunday, feared t h a t t h e cut would mean' "a halt in t h e expansion and betterment program which has been underway in
ment in tij£ scope and thoroughness"
of t h e worfi of t h e ceramic college." . Dean Holmes also stated that "be-1 fore the end of the ttscal year, the president of the University and the dean of the College will confer with s t a t e officials at Albany for -the pur- pose of determining just what the items of curtailment would be."
Director Paul Orvis of t h e State School of Agriculture, in a telephone statement to a Fiat reporter, was un- able t o give any definite effects that t h e cut would have. H e had just re- turned t o Alfred and was unprepared to quote f a c t s or figures. He did, however, in the same manner as Dean Holmes, feel t h a t -the reduction would be a blow to expansion plans and t h a t t h e r e may have to be reduction in the enrollment.

Of New System
©ABOLITION of the student- controlled Alfred. University Ath- letic Association and the placing of financial control and responsi- bility for intercollegiate athletics directly in the hands of the Uni- versity was recommended this week by the Athletic Governing Board, with the approval of Uni- versity administrative officials.
The student body—all members of the present Athletic Assocoation—
will vote on that proposition Thurs- day afternoon, May 4, from 1 to 5 o'clock, using the voting machine -in Firemens Hall,
Outmoded System
Declaring the present Athletic As- sociation "outmoded," "unwieldy," and
"inefficient," the governing board pointed <jut that it is impossible to sponsor inter-collegiate athletics under the provisions of the Athletic Associa- tion constitution. The change, if ap- proved by the students, will h a v e no effect on the $10-per-semester athletic fee now included on s t u d e n t s ' bills, and in the f u t u r e may mean increased r e t u r n s on. t h a t fpe in t h e f o r m of athletic Improvements.

Kansas Man Named Head Of Business Department
J O H N E. WHITECRAFT of Kansas City, Kansas, has been naimed by the committee on teaching force, to head the new Department of Business and Secretarial Studies to be opened in the Liberal A r t s College a t Alfred next September. Mr. Whitecraft holds bachelors' a n d a m a s t e r ' s degree from Kansas S t a t e Teachers' College, and h a s carried graduate work at Harvard and elsewhere to within half a year of the requirements f o r a doctor's de- gree.
Mr. W h i t e c r a f t h a s had extensive teaching experience in the subjects to be included in the new department, having occupied d u r i n g the present
school year the vice-chairmanship of the commercial d e p a r t m e n t in the new three-million-jdollar Wyandotte High School in K a n s a s 'City. He has also taught two s u m m e r t e r m s in the Kan- sas S t a t e Teachers' College, and is the originator a n d publisher of t h a t institution's standard tests in type- writing, shorthand and bookkeeping.
Mr. Whitecraft is cooperating with President Norwood, of Alfred Univer- sity in the selection of a second teach- er who will teach the typewriting, shorthand, and more strictly secretari- al studies in the new department, while h e himself will teach the busi- ness subjects. '

vill h e known as vice- . board and secretary instead of president and ji t h e [Athletic Association.
At pireserit the A. A. president has no office on the hoard, is merely a mem- ber. T h e director of athletics, J a m e s A. McLane, is chairman of the A. G.
B„ which includes in its membership
$11 coaches, assistant coaches, man- agers, two alumni, a faculty athletic chairman, and a trustee athletic chairman. Members of the A. G, B„
will continue to be predominantly stu- dents.
Board Revision
If the change is approved, the A. G. B. will revise its constitution, to include all A. A. hy-laws regarding regulations, insignia, and awards, and t h e Women's Athletic Governing Board will d o the same, the board recommendation stated.
Director Mc.Lane, in commenting on the proposed change, stated the following reasons:
"If in the future it is decided to tax Agricultural School or N.Y.A. stu- dents for use of our athletic facilities, the University can d o so, whereas the Athletic Association would have no such power.
"Under the present system, the ath letic director is required to present a complete budget to the entire stu- dent body f o r approval eaoh year—a provision which has never been fol- lowed and which would be unwieldy.
"The University is planning a re- vision of all student fees f o r future years, with a blanket fee to include all taxes. Under this system, eventu- ally .more money would be available for athletic improvements through proper control of «nances.
"Today, student suggestions for athletic improvements con only be re- ferred to the Athletic Director. If the change occurs, the University will be directly responsible for any and all athletic improvements."
N e w Department
If the proposition is approved, Al- fred University will have the same or- ganization a s the majority of other colleges and universities. The depart- ment will then h e called the "Depart ment of Physical Education and Ath- letics".
"A brief history of the Association,"
the board stated, "explains why it does not fit Alfred's present setup. In 1926, when Alfred's enrollment was small a n d its budget limited, inter- collegiate athletics almost died for

All-American
©THE FIAT LUX today received laurels from professional news- paperdom in the form of All- American rating from the Associ- ated Collegiate Press, All-Ameri- can Newspaper Critical service.
Competing with 400 other collegi- ate publications f o r all over the United States and Hawaii, the Fiat Lux was one of two papers in New York State to receive the All-Ameri- can rating. T h e other one to receive
"superior" rating from the Service was the Polytechnic Reporter of Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute.
Judges for the competition were picked from mid-western newspapers who, in conjunction with t h e faculty of the University of Minnesota, s p e n t the past three and a half months por- ing over t h e entered newspapers, making minute criticisms. The Fiat Lux submitted a copy of every issue published t h i s year.
Criticism Received
Constructive criticism for the paper was received by Editor Raymond R.
Zurer '40, along with the notification of the honor. Based on the point sys- tem, tihe Fiat Lux scored 705 point out of a possible 1000. Departments scanned were news value and sources, news writing and editing, headlines, typography and makeup, department pages and special features.
The Fiat Lux has also won other honors this year. Earlier this month it took two firsts and two seconds in the Intercollegiate Newspaper Associ- ation of the Middle Atlantic S t a t e s semi-annual contests, competing with twenty other newspapers f r o m t h e East.
The paper won the honors while under the direction of John L. Doughs erty, Jr., '39, who last week gave up the paper to his staff-elected success- or Zurer. Dougherty was also I.N.A.
president this past year.

Even more r e m a r k a b l e is t h e fact that although the car was not given an overhauling before they started t h è trip and had not been run for over a year—they made the entire journey without even .so much a s a s p u t t e r from the four-cylindered engine.
Tire Trouble
But what they missed in the line of engine trouble, they made up for in tire trouble. The trip was made on two and a half s e t s of tires, size 3 0 x 3 % , a little larger t h a n regular motorcycle tires. They s t a r t e d from Alfred with four spares, used them up and then were forced to buy two more enroute.
The car was purchased by the two students t h e day before they left on the trip for the magnificent sum of
• limarcexs.
through s t r a n g e states, they managed finally to get lost—a mere seventy miles from their home port: While driving toward Alfred in t h e neigh- borhood of Auburn, they inadvertent- ly took the wrong road and eventually found themselves headed—not south—
but east again.

the boys slept o u t underneath the open sky, cooked their own m e a l s and roughed it all the way.
Their itinerary for the jaunt was anything but mapped out in a s t r a i g h t line. S t a r t i n g from Alfred a t the opening of the Spring recess, they hit the Susquehanna Trail down through Pennsylvania, chugged over the Alle- gheny mountains, touched Northern Virginia, wandered back north by way of the District of Columbia, through New York State to Lake Ontario then back south to Alfred.
Most embarrassing moment of the entire trip came for the iboys when, with nearly 2500 miles behind them
their route. While in New York City the boys drove through t h e Harlem section, resulting in a n e a r riot. An- other time they ventured out on Fifth.
Avenue, 'but were quickly shooed off by a policeman enforcing the "no t r u c k " ordinance.
The trip cost the boys approximate- ly fifty dollars, ihalf of which was spent on gasoline and oil. The c a r averaged t w e n t y miles to t h e gallon of gas while on t h e trip. The boys, despite the taot that they lost five pounds each on the trip, a r e now planning a trip to Florida this sum- mer in the vehicle. They really want

Klein's Mother King Has Enviable Record Of Service; Here 34 Years
• AN ENVIABLE RECORD of over' a quarter of a century as active house mother of a fratern- ity is that held by Mrs. Margaret
King, who this June, will see her thirty-fourth Alfred graduation.
Mrs. King, affectionately known as
"Mother" to the men of Klan Alpine and her myriad friends scattered over the country, h a s seen the University develop from a struggling college at the beginning of this century, to t h e respected institution of learning that
it is today. ,
Mother King has the unique i distin- ction of being the only f r a t e r n i t y house mother on t h e campus. She t a k e s pride in t h e fact t h a t she knows by name, nickname, like and dislike, every man who has been a member of the Klan since she h a s been there. At times, such a s Homecoming, when t h e house is crowded with alumni, Mother King is busy remembering t h i n g s like
"George likes b a n a n a cream pie",, or
"Joe doesn't like peas, we'll open up a can of corn for him."
Her pet aversions a r e Hell Weeks.
Always solicitous of t h e safety and well-being of her boys, t h i s under- graduate invention h a s always seemed to her a useless and needless form of amusement.
Each year faces the possibility t h a t Mother King will retire from active duty, yet each year finds t h e boys at Klan Alpine hoping t h a t she will stay
"just one more year."
Everyone who h a s ever known Mother King seems t o hold a special corner of his memory open for t h e recollection of a wonderful woman and a real friend, a s much a part of the campus a s t h e Alma Mater, itself.
