Activities Vary During Ag-Tech Moving-Up Day
In spite of the intensive Moving-Up Day program, the worst casualty re- sulting from "Operation Moving-Up Day" last Thursday appears to be a sprained ankle, according to Clawson Infirmary records.
At the Ag-Tech assembly, all club, fraternity and organization presidents were introduced by Donald Wilder, chairman of the Ag-Tech Moving-Up Day program. Mr. Lee Woehling, ani- mal husbandry instructor, then pre- sented keys to members of the student
council.
The afternoon program consisted of' organized individual and group athlet- i c events near the Ag-Tech barns.
The greased-pole climbing provided the only near-casualty of the afternoon when Howard Kispaugh fell, slipped, or was thrown to the ground from about ten feet up the sixteen-foot pole.
Bight three-man teams were formed from the twenty-four former contes- tants and straws were drawn to decide which team would have first chance for the ten dollar bill tacked to the top of the pole. The team of Hugh Chamberlain, Elwood Eastman and Donald Halford won the draw and suc- ceeded in ascending the pole in 27 seconds.
Another highlight of the atfernoon's events was the tug-o-war between.
Kappa Delta and Theta Gamma. A stream of water from a fire hose was the dividing line between the two teams. For well over a minute, Kappa Delta with 19 men to Theta Gamma's .24 held their own, but after Theta Gamma had succeeded in pulling two KD men under the powerful stream, the rope broke and the event had to be run over.
In the second heat, with both sides using twelve-man teams, Theta Gamma managed to get KD in the mud and
•win the contest in 2 minutes, 35 seconds.
In the egg-throwing contest, the team of Jesse Hannan and Robert Eisenberg won. Joseph Reilly, Donald Sipp and Robert Plessner were first, second and third, respectively in the sack race. Jane Lytle and Ian Gum- moe were the first couple to cross the line in the Indian leg race.
Another featured event was the pig race in which only women and pigs competed. The object was to take the pig on a leash and without pulling, pushing or carrying it, get down to the other end of the field and back. Final- ly after much coaxing, Jane Lytle's pig broke the "tape" and took first in a photo finish with Anita Lemen's.
Ruby Bently took third place.
Dr. Orra S. Rogers, Member Of Alfred Board Dies At Home
A prominent member of the board of trustees of Alfred University, Dr.
Orra S. Rogers, died Tuesday, May 10, a t his home in Ft. Pierce, Fla.
Dr. Rogers, who had been.ill for six months before his death, graduated from Alfred in 1894 with a B.S. de- gree, and was later given an honorary LL.D. degree. He also had an award from the Alumni Association.

Naval Reserve Unit Still Has Vacancies
There are still a couple of officers' billets and several openings for enlist- ed men in the Volunteer Naval Reserve unit starting here at Alfred in the near future, stated Mr. Harold E.
Owen, Ag-Tech electricity instructor, who is organizing the unit.
Mr. Owen, in pointing out the advan- tages which may accrue to men under thirty who join the organized reserve, said, "Retirement pay is computed on the basis of 2%% of a reservist's top base pay times the number of comput- ed years of service.
A year's service is constituted by the accumulation of 360 credit points.
Points are awarded on the basis of active duty, active reserve member- ship, drill attendance and correspon- dence courses completed. "15 points are given for each year of membership in the active reserve with from 1-2 points for each drill attended and 12- 36 points for the completion of each correspondence course," he explained.
Those interested in joining such a unit should write to Lt. Comdr. H. E.
Owen. USNR, Box 113, Alfred, N.Y.

184 Pints Of Blood Donated To Exceed Goal
Alfred's blood bank drive met its 15'fcpint quota Wednesday but stu- dents and townspeople continued com- ing until a local one-day record of 184 pints was established. Hornell holds top honors in the area^ with 188 pints.
"I am very gratified by the res- ponse," said Mrs. Verlee O. Linderman, Alfred branch chairman, when she learned the total. She gave credit to Wesley A. Parish, blood drive chair-
lan.
Included in the 184 doners was Dr.
VanDerck Frechette who gave his 16th pint to become a member of the two- gallon club.
Assisting Mr. Parish were Dr. Ellen Sutton, 11 gray ladies directed by Mrs.
W. Harold Reid, chairman, five grad- uate nurses of the School of Nursing, two nurses aides and members of Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity.
AT Selects Charles Botti, Milo VanHall To Direct Festival
A steering committee for the Ag- Tech Fall Festival committee was chosen last week from" the Ag-Tech faculty and student body. Mr. Milo Van Hall, director of student person- nel and Charles Botti were selected as faculty chairman and student chair- man respectively.
Other members picked to serve on the steering committee are Mr. John Renner, refrigeration instructor, Roger Meatle and Russell Wyant. Plans are already underway for the 1949 Fall Festival, Mr. Van Hall announced.
Faculty members on the festival committee include, Director Walter C.
Hinkle, Dean T. A. Parish, Mr. Louis Loughlin, agriculture instructor and Mr. P. A. Smith, rural engineering in- structor.
A meeting of the festival committee is scheduled for 4:30 p.m., tomorrow, in Room 12 of the Ag-Tech main building.
Missing Valve Wipes Out Both Pushball Games
The case of the missing push ball valve, rivaled only by the George Brush case, still hangs over Alfred as one of the year's biggest mysteries. At least, as the Fiat goes to press. Dwight Brown '50 of the Senate push ball committee, still doesn't know where it is. "An Ag-Tech student asked for the valve in order to blow it up for their push ball game," said Brown.
"Whether he lost it or stole it, we don't know, but we haven't seen it since. It's too early to say what's happened to it."
Mearle Greene, director of Intra- mural athletics, was well prepared for the contest. He had his first aid kit right under his arm. Not only did he have the kit, but the ambulance was there also, motor running.
The lack of afternoon activity did not completely dull University activi- ty. The clean-up campaign Which took place in the morning was the most successful of any in the three years that it has been in existence.
A gold trophy, presented by Dean Elizabeth Geen, was won by Blue Key for their painting of the Campus Un- ion.
In the early afternoon the freshmen and sophomores engaged in their tra- ditional battle at Prexy's pool. When

Industrial Leaders Stress Fundamentals
That a technical school should con- cern itself with the teaching of basic fundamental theory, was the keynote reitterated time and again during the meeting of the Industrial Advisory Council last Thursday at Ag-Tech.
"The industrial leaders of the council feel that Ag-Tech is giving a superior industrial training," announced Direc- tor Walter C. Hinkle.
The council, consisting of men asso- ciated with well-known concerns in the radio and electrical field as well as instructors and department heads from Ag-Tech, believes that specializa- tion in industry can best be taught by industry itself, therefore technical schools should ^oncentrate on the teaching of fundamentals.
The meeting, called by Mr. George S. Whitney, industrial department chairman, was the first of its kind this year. "Since its inception in 1937,"
Mr. Whitney said, "the department has grown to a total enrollment of 278 students and employs 16 instruc- tors.
Mr. Whitney stated that at the next Advisory Council meeting, the refrig- eration and air conditioning program will be analyzed.

A Record
With a total contribution of 184 pints of blood, Alfred went far over its quota and beat last year's record by almost 20 pints in the Spring Blood Bank drive this week.
With a population of about 690 people, the town of Alfred surpassed Canisteo with a population of 1000, whose drive totaled under 100 pints. In addition, Alfred lacked but 4 pints to. meet the record of the city of Hornell.
This outstanding record is due not only to the efforts of Chair- man Wesley A. Parish but also to the students whose cooperation was a great help in making the drive successful.

Better Scheduling
A large crowd watched the Freshmen and Sophomores dunking and being dunked in Prexy's Pool, Thursday but only a small group of faculty and underclassmen attended the assembly.
The assembly is more important than most people seem to real- ize. Actually the whole purpose of having a Moving Up Day is seen in assembly when the seniors become graduates and the under- classmen fill in their places. It should be a time for the recognition of achievement and the whole Moving Up Day program centered around it.
The Committee may be commended for recognizing the inevita- bility of the battle at Prexy's Pool and allowing time for it. Each individual event was well'planned. However, more care should have been taken in scheduling these activities so that they did not con- flict with one another.
The assembly could have been scheduled before the Pool fight or at the usual hour. Or, in view of the many activities which are part of Moving Up Day, the assembly might be held another day.
Whatever the procedure next year, the assembly must be given grater attention.
Moreover, some freshirfan has seen fit to put som clothes on the naked little fella.

Two Way Benefits
Notices that Ag-Tech service clubs have invited someone from industry or business to speak before their group have appeared in the Fiat many times throughout the year.
These speakers are invited here to acquaint the students in the various Ag-Tech departments with the actual conditions in their particular field. They learn from the source about job opportunities and the qualifications for these jobs.
But more significant than this and possibly less obvious is that these same speakers in turn learn that, at Ag-Tech, they may find trained personnel to fill their needs. They not only help the students while in school but also upon graduation, when they are a source for jobs.
By Douglas Grewer,
Summer is approaching, and as we understand it one is supposed to do something during those few weeks away from school. So in order to find out what some of the students are doing during their vacation we asked them the question, "What do you intend to do
this summer?"

Hand Made Clock Continues To Keep Perfect Time For Years
By Lillian Falcone
Despite the Alfred winters and the Spring floods, President Emeritus J. Nelson Norwood's clock has kept almost perfect time since it was built in September 1922. Northeastern storms, an acci- dent near the garage, and a small, insignificant, but destructive
bug, squirming in its mechanism were the only causes of the clock's failure.
The round cream and black clock on the front of Dr. Norwood's garage on the corner of North Main and Green streets is one of the most novel sights in Alfred. The only portion of the clock seen from the street is its face.' The mechanism is enclosed

Several distinguished personalities found themselves in the drink. Among those Who did not expect to get wet and did were the new Alpha Phi offi- cers, who were duly initiated, Michael Magrino AT, who was momentarily mistaken for J. P. Pierce, J.

Repercussions Of A Shoeshine Machine And Two Other Items
by jerry smith
Alfred, considered by many to be backward (and delightfully so by- others) came abreast modern civiliza- tion this week when a neat, efficient
"shine for a dim%" machine was in- stalled in the Collegiate.
We have attended some classes where profs would have roundly con- demned this evidence of our futuramic civilization. And we have let them say it and agreed with them enough to keep in the majority of the class who agreed for the same reason. But we like modern civilization's shine ma- chine^, automobiles, book$, radios, typewriters, rubber cement, and all other paper-clip type of gadgets which make work easier, faster and better.
So also do the profs, who seek larger salaries almost as quickly as miners, so they can buy them.
Let us say right now that the two top reasons why we are going to col- lege are: (1) the more we know, the better we will think, the better we will write, and the bigger win be our audience, and (2) a college degree i s indicative of the above item and, whether the qualifications are there, usually merits a larger salary.
We wonder what some of the deep- thinking profs are going to say about the shine machine. Probably the same thing we have said. They will blow, off some steam, denounce its money- making inventor, make some generali- zations about values and then use t h e machine. Those who shine their shoes, that is; most of them do not.
An example of this is the prof who, during the course of a tirade against movies, liquor and tobacco, quoted a round number in the millions repre- senting the amount spent annually for tobacco. In the middle of his sentence, he stopped to light a cigar- ette.
We do not
college profs mean to say that all are intellectually dis- uel R Scholes, who sang the ' S t a r | h o n e s t g o m e o f t h e m a r e ; a f e w d,g. Spangled Banner and Mrs. Ada Becker
Seidlin, who played the processional.
Following this four honorary frater- nities tapped their _new members.
After the assembly, Kappa Psi Upsi- lon won the trophy in the step sing- ing contest, i Members of the winning;
septet were Dwight Brown '50, Robert Distler '51,. Joseph Fisher '52, Robert Hart '52, Stanley Higgins '52, Edwin Pettengill '52 and Robert Strong '50.
In place of the missing push ball game, the freshman and sophomore girls played a grueling 4 inning soft ball game. The sophs won 14 to 13.
Moving-Up activities actually started at 4:00 a.m. when the sophomores painted the barn, raised their flag and greased the flag pole next to Prexy's pool, and made a raid on Bart- lett. The frosh were waiting for them and at the day's end the flag was down and the barn boasted a " '52."

Two Engineer Council Members Inspect College

having come originally from England.
He had toyed with the idea of building a clock with a striking apparatus on his uncle's horsebarn a mile south of Alfred but his one attempt was a failure.
Many years later, in 1920, when he was then on the faculty of the University, he purchased his present home on North Main Street. On the property was a large, old barn which he tore down and, with the lumber, built his present garage. Meanwhile, the idea of building a clock had stayed with him and he made roug'h draw- ings of his ideas. For two years, in his spare time, Dr. Norwood continued with his scheme, purchasing cogs and gears from a Boston stock gear com- pany. Gradually he obtained the var- ious parts of the mechanism and with the aid of Prof. Clifford Potter and Dana Shaw, former Alfred jeweler, and the local blacksmith, he- constructed his clock on the garage.
It is interesting to watch the mech- anism operate. A weight of approxi- mately 50 pounds and a 44 foot wire cable run the clock. The pendulum was a pine stick taken from an old organ in Alumni Hall. Figures and hands on the clock are made from sheet lead and aluminum. The clock will run for 14 days and six hours on one winding. Dr. Norwood tested the clock for several months in both his house and garage before setting it up in its present position.
"It was a lot of fun and I derived a good deal of satisfaction in making the clock," says Dr. Norwood. "I learned more about teaching and it changed my sense of accuracy and fairness," he continued. "In social sciences when you get a theory and try to fit it to the facts or vice versa, it is the greatest temptation in the world to squeeze either the theory or the facts. By working with brass, iron, lead and aluminum, I found that they just couldn't be squeezed."

Flemming.
Attending the conference were 55 representatives of practically every state in the Union. "The most in- teresting part of the conference were the workshops," said Mr. Potter, who attended one on office procedures. "At these workshops we exchanged ideas on technique and procedures," Mr .Potter explained. Discussed were use of student help, professional ethics handling of diplomas, flow of work through Registrars' Offices and salar ies and hours.

Great Ideas Simply Said Are Marks Of Brecht's Writings
By Howard Clark and "William Bayuk
Bertolt Brecht is now living in Zurich, Switzerland, but the ideas of his Epic Theatre are beginning to spread through America. The popularity of his plays are growing because they express the feelings of the people.
The productions of his plays in America are taking place in the small theatres and colleges throughout the nation. This is probably the way Brecht would have preferred it, since it means it is growing from the peo- ple.
Charles Shattuck, in his article In Accent, says, "A Brecht play is built and moves casually, episodically, like a play of Aristophanes (whom Brecht much resembles), never quite defining itself, lingering over gaga and gim- micks, peering up thighs and through keyholes, rebellious, loving, raucous, and owlishly wise."
By his very method of writing Brecht compels actors, directors, de- signers, spectators, ' a n d readers to think freshly and pay attention to meaning. Everywhere you look there are great ideas simply said, a s :
Good men
Cannot long remain good in our country.
Where plates are empty, the diners fight.
Judgement must always be pro- nounced with absolute gravity—
why? because it's such nonsense.
Brecht's lyrical qualities are shown when Grusha says to her newly be- trothed, Simon Shashava, who Is going to war:
Go calmly into battle, soldier The bloody battle, the bitter battle From which not everyone returns .. .And my mouth will be unkissed When you return, when you return You will be able to say: All is
as it was.
Brecht does not create sharply de- fined characters. His characters are neither defined by stature, complexion, costume, social cast, employment or dialect. Brecht merely WTites down the essences. It is up to the actor to gather and interpret the clues and build the "character" himself.
Brecht has unusual qualities to offer to the people. Eric Bentley, noted critic, says, "Today his is an uncom- mon sort of belief in the common man."
"The Caucasian Chalk Circle" will be presented May 19 and 24 at Alumni Hall by the Footlight Club.
criminating students find out who those are before any harm is done.
And we would rather not think of the harm done to the others.
The discerning student then takea from the prof the education which will be of value to him: a few facts, a few sources of reference, a few meth- ods. The rest of the students fall into the class which will let someone else do their thinking for them.

The Fiat reprinted a column, April 5, with the impressions of a Syracuse U. visitor during the St. Pat's Festi- val. We finally wrote a letter to the Syracuse Daily Orange correcting some of the grossest errors of the columnist.
It was published and, in reply, we re- ceived a letter from Art- Chatfield, ex- '50, who wrote:
"The article led to considerable com- ment among alumni and - transfers alike, especially when the majority of students here at least know what Al- fred really is like. To date, I have had little difficulty in orienting either students or professors in Alfred's location, enrollment, standings, or anything else. . . '
"Personally, a little of that 'HI Joe' atmosphere would improve this place 100 percent."

By the time some of you read this.
Spring registration will have been completed. We griped heartily last Fall because we were not permitted to take a course for which we had regis- tered in the Spring. We were not the only individual who found himself in this predicament and we still re- member it because, with only one more year here, there are some cours- es which we feel we must have.
Moreover, as long as we are paying
$25 for the privilege and losing some valuable, last-minute classes, we think we have the right to say that, if a student registers for a course in t h e Spring, he deserves to be admitted to that course in the Fall unless It is cancelled because of inadequate regis- tration. Certainly, students register- ing for the first time in the Fall, should not get priority.
One of the merits of the Spring reg- istration is to ascertain the number of students wanting courses in the Fall.
If the system is going to work, faculty and department heads must make sure there is no recurrence of this situation in the future.

We have heard considerable com- ment concerning Blue Key's winning the Clean-Up trophy. As a member of BK, we feel we should explain t h a t BK did not know about the cup when they planned the mass-paint-job on the Union; and they certainly did put out much effort on their job.
But it might be well to suggest that Blue Key be asked to assist with or- ganization and supervision of Clean- Up next year and reserve the trophy for those organizations not of a ser- vice nature.
Incidentally, Alpha Phi and the -raft School, neither of which are res- idence houses and had the same ad- vantages as Blue Key, also were con- sidered in the University Clean-up competition.

Alfred Scores Eight Points In Middle Atlantic
by Rodder
The Alfred varsity track team placed tenth in the Middle Atlantic States;
Track and Field Championships held at Gettysburg College Friday and Sat- urday. Nineteen teams entered t h e competition.
The team accumulated eight points.
Eeven were scored by Dick Robinson, and Don Rosser accounted for the eighth.
Robbie was defending champion in the 220 yard dash, and he had been runner up in the 440 last year. Satur- day he placed second in the 220 and third in the 440. Rosser took fifth in t h e 440-.
Qualifying heats in all distances up to the half mile were held on Friday.
Robbie won h i s trial in the quarter handily. Rosser ran second in his t o the defending champion. Robbie won all hi s preliminary races in the 220 and recorded the fastest times in this event. Paul Flurschutz placed second in his half mile trial and was the only other Alfred runner to qualify for Staurday's final events.
On Saturday, Tom Myers came through with the fastest mile of his career. He turned in a 4:39 in taking ninth place. Coach McLane called his performance the most surprising of any of the Alfred men in the meet.
Bob Wightman also took a ninth place. He was in the two mile in which he was clocked in 10:35.
In his final event, Flurschutz placed eighth with a 2:03 clocking, his best of the season.
The winning time in the 220 final 22.3 was identical to the time Robbie turned in when winning the semi firtals on Friday. Robbie breezed through that race and beat the even- tual winner by about five yards.
The Alfred team was greatly im- proved over last year but was not able to score as many points. Coach McLane said after the meet that he could not remember having seen so many really igood track men come along at the same time, before. The competition is stiffer today than he has seen it since coaching track at Alfred.
Thrashers Will Provide Magic For Assembly

Journalism Society Picks New Officers
William Spangenberg '51 was elected secretary-treasurer of the Alfred Chap- ter of Pi Delta Epsilon, national honor- ary journalism fraternity, Saturday.
Other business discussed was the freshman handbook, which is being handled by Pres. Jeanette Klimajeski '50, and the Alfred telephone directory, which is in the charge of James Quack- enbush '51.
It was decided not to send a dele- gate to the Pi Delt convention at the University of Pittsburgh June 10-12.
Outside Students Eligible To Take Craft Courses
Two regular Craft School courses will be offered to persons not in the Craft School this summer, according to Harold J. Brennan, Craft School director. The two courses, "Textile Printing," and "Enameling," are de- signed for qualified high school and college teachers.
Enameling will be taught by Mitzi Otten, recognized as the country's lead- ing enamelist and textile printing will be taught by Steve Wheeler, instructor at the Cooper Union Art School.
Senate Defeats Representation Ammendment
The proposed amendment to abolish dual representation in the student Senate was defeated by a 17 to 15 vote Tuesday evening. The amendment, j proposed by George Harris '50 of Beta Sig, would have prevented students who have representation in a Greek letter organization from having repre- sentation in another residence house, too.
President Daniel Foster '50 asked the representatives to consider the amendment carefully to see if it couldn't be formulated in a way that would make it acceptable to all the students.
Harold Cole AT, reported on the Ag-Tech-University financial relation- ships. Controversy over the matter had arisen last week in a discussion over the Frosh Handbook.
Cole reported that the Ag-Tech was paying one quarter of the price of the Frosh handbook. "It also gives
$1.50 to the Senate for every Ag-Tech student and $2.00 to the University for every student," he said.
David Pixley '51 announced that two Alfred students would attend the NSA national convention in Chicago. Pix- ley also said that a NSA dance in Rochester is being planned for the Fall.
Final plans for Moving-Up Day were presented by Lawrence Selewach '50 of Klan and Litchard Dickinson '50, Senate vice-president reported that the clock donation was not going as well as had been expected.

Local Poultry House Completely Re-wired By Rural Engineers
A group of eleven senior rural en- gineering students, under the direc- tion of Mr. C. Kenneth Kolstad. Ag- Tech electricity instructor, completely rewired the poultry house on Stearns' Poultry Farm at Alfred Station dur- ing the past month.
Using the laboratory time provided in the Electricity 210 course, advanced rural electricity, the students started on April 6 and finished their installa- tion recently. The project consisted of planning the wiring, estimating the materials needed and installing new wiring and equipment from the street entrance to the chicken house. The new material installed included 110O feet of wire, 42 outlets and 10 switches, all of the latest type with non-Tamper- able fuses.
"The wiring system is now 100%
better," said Mr. Stearns, "and far safer from fire hazards."
Mr. Stearns treated the group to a chicken dinner at his farm last Wed- nesday.
