University To Launch DevelopmentProgram

Founders Day Program To Include President's Dinner

Alfred University's 115th Founders' Day Convocation Nov. 2 looms as one of the most important days in the history of the Univer- sity.

The occasion will mark the beginning of Alfred's development

program for planned improvement of existing facilities. Mr. Claude A. Put- nam, President of the National Asso- ciation of Manufacturers, has been named special guest and speaker lor the occasion.

Hundreds of invitations have been sent to alumni and1 friends of the Uni-

versity throughout the state and nation.

The Founder's Day Convocation will be preceded by the first annual Presi- dent's dinner for Alfred University trustees and faculty and administra- tive members which will be held Nov:

1.

On Nov. 2, Mr. Putnam will speak on the general theme of the importance Of colleges and universities to business and the responsibility of business for the support of higher education.

Mr. Putnam, who is a New Hampshire manufacturer, will receive the hon- orary degree of Doctor of Laws during the Founder's Day program.

Formerly a machinist, Mr. Putnam is now president of the Markem Ma- chine Company, Keene, New Hamp- shire. His business philosophy is based on the conviction that employers and supervisors must take a deep personal interest in the welfare and problems of every employee. "We've always tried to keep the company in such a position that we didn't have to dis- locate the organization by employee turnover," he states.

Mr. Putnam has served on the NAM board of directors for six years and last year was a member of the Asso- ciation's executive committee. He has been a director, vice president and president (1947-1948) of the New Hampshire Manufacturers Association.

Fiat To Hear Two Famous Newsmen

Mr. Rowan is best known for his column, "From Where We Sit,"

which appears daily in the Reporter.

.Jerry Smith, a member of last year's graduating class, will be remembered as author of "Collegetown," and many other features which appeared in the Fiat.

Who Owns Them?

Record Amount Of Blood Given To Red Cross

Alfred blood donors broke a two and a half year old local record Tues- day. The don/tion to the Rochester Blood'mobije was 185 pints, topping by one pint the record set in May 1948.

The last student to enter the blood bank, and- the one to contribute the pint which set the new record was!

William Spangenberg '51.

Local chairman of the Red Cross, ! Mrs. Verlee Linderman, and head of the blood donor program, Wesley Par- ish, were high in their praise of student, faculty and1 townspeople's effort in donating 25 pints of blood beyond the 160 pint quota.

Four fraternities and two sororities had especially good turnouts, Mrs.

Linderman said. They are Kappa Nu, 'Klan Alpine. Lambda Chi and Theta Gamma fraternities and Pi Alpha and Sigma Chi sororities. . ;

''A larger number of girls donated I time, than usual," Mrs. Linder- man said. There were also many new donors.

Courage of some of the new donors was bouyed by the knowledge that Dr. Van Derk Frechette was contribu- . ting his 19th pint of blood to the pro-' gram. ' Some of the blood donated will be sent to Korea. "The new record shows people are interested in how the blood is being used." Mrs. Linderman added.""We are very pleased."

She attributed some of the success of the program to a novel display in the window of the R. -E. Ellis Drug store. The exhibit showed 36 tiny paper soldiers lying down, receiving blood. After five donors had been received a.1 the Wood bank, a soldier was stood upright.

An interesting sidelight to thebleedL

ine; was relai rs, Linderman.

< before noon two Kappa Nu students had a race donating their blood.

One student was ready to receive the needle but he waited until his op- ponent was set and the nurse had' her stop watch in hand. The time was a- bout three minutes."

Tli staff of the Rochester Blood- mobile was aided here by Grey Ladies, student nurses of the Alfred Univer- sity nursing school and Alpha Phi Omega Serivce fraternity members.

Bookeasy Contains Unregistered Books

"There are still some books in the bookeasy to do with'which we do not know." This was the conclusion of Harry Blatt, assistant manager of the Bookeasy, this week after he surveyed the stock whiah is waiting to be shipped to -Wilcox and Follette in Chicago or wherever it is.

"We have sent out all checks," Blatt said, "and we have sent cards to stu- dents1 whose books we did not sell.

They now have the prerogative of let- ting us sell the books or reclaiming them."

Blatt announced1 that there are several books in the Bookeasy whiclhi are not registered uwd'er anyone's name.

He asked that students who have books in the bookeasy and have received no notice concerning them should contact the proprietors of the Bookeasy immediately.

Concerning the Bookeasy's business during the month of September, the assistant' manager declared that $135 worth of checks lhad been sent to 35 students. "This is not an accurate lure o£ Bookeasy business," Blatt sakl, "bepuase many books were traded for cash at the bookeasy desk and many other sales were made as a result of a direct or indirect tip from the Bookeasy."

The Political Week

This week on the state political scene:

Monday—Governor Thomas Dewey called for Gen. Eisenhower to run for president in 1952 after renouncing presidential ambitions for himself.

Tuesday—Joseph Hanley, Republi- can nominee for Senate, released letter written to Representative Macy stating that he (Hanley) agreed to run for Senate after being guaranteed that his debts would be settled by the Republican party.

Walter Lynch, Democratic nominee for governor, declared that Dewey and Hanley should be impeached for the

"Hanley letter deal."

Thursday—Republicans countered Hanley letter charges with claims that John J. Rascob financed the election of Roosevelt in 1928 for governor.

Herbert Lehman, Democratic candidate for Senate, pledged aid to business.

Lynch again charged that Dewey

"threw Hanley to dogs."

Friday—Lynch charged Dewey back- ed Eisenhower to shield GOP letter.

Saturday—Statewide "Friends of Joe Hanley" committee announced fund raising drive. Hanley challenged Lynch to prove himself fit to be governor and quit, talking about the letter.

Lynch called Dewey "the clumsiest liar ui political history."

Sunday—Dewey stressed aid to education. Hanley accused Democrats1 of softness in dealing with reds.

Franklin Roosevelt Jr. said Lynch

"is a greater potential candidate for president than Dewey." Lynch promised a regime like that of Alfred E.

Smith, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Herbert Lehman, all former governors.

Outing Club Buys Hut For Hill

Hillel Foundation Meets To Form Plans For Semester

Alfred University's B'nai Brith Hillel chapter held its first meeting of the year last Saturday. Hillel is an organization for Jewish students to further Hebrew culture and give students a chance to participate in all forms of activities.

Plans for the coming semester were discussed and elections were held. Ir- win Margulis '52 was elected chairman, Phyllis Rudner '53, secretary and Hope Abrams '54. treasurer. The next meeting is scheduled for November 4.

Formed in 1945-46 the Alfred1 Out- ing Club has advanced' to an independent organization for persons who love the out-ofi-doors. Rased on the field sports, the club has begun many activities which have become traditions on Die Alfred. University Campus.

When the organization first came into existance' its first project was construction of a crude ski tow on Pine Hill. Lack of snow forced the moving of the tow to Its present lo- cation above West University Street.

The 'tow was also improved by aiding electric motors for power in ™ of an old car motor.

This year more than 400 feet of rope has been added to the tow moving the ski trail several yards up the hillside. In addition to the present slope, a beginners slope is being pre- pared on the right of the trail -for experienced skiers.

Boasting more than 100 members, the club has bought a quonset hut which was moved off West University Street across from the power plant for the ski tow. The hut, located on property bought by the club, will be used for meetings and as a warm up house for skiers.

Plans for purchasing the hut began, last Spring, with the purchase of a lot about 40 by 60 feet facing the road. An addition was also built on the ski tow shed for equipment stor- age, t

Under the leadership of Dick Ha- mer '52, president, new trails are being cut for hiking and for a beginners ski slope. The group also is engaged

Although skiing is an important sport of the Outing Club several other outdoor sports are featured including hiking, swimming, fishing and hunt- ing. The organization has a rifle range in the basement below Peek's College Club. Red Cross first aid instruction is conducted by Robert Carney '52.

With the purchase of property and

the quonset hut the club became an incorporated organization, capable of acting as a t individual in the eyes j of the law. Financial projects and new improvements of the club are gov- erned by a Board of Directors com- posed of E. K.

Students To Conduct Mock State Election

Democrat, Republican Issues Being Carried In Editorials

"Of course the Democrats will win," said Beverly Callahan '52 this week as she pinned a Lynch poster on the wall.

"Everyone knows Dewey will take the election," Frank Bredell '52 countered immediately.

They were blowing off steam about a coming political campaign on campus which will end in a mock election of governor, lieutenant governor comptroller, attorney general and United States senator.

"All students will be allowed to vote regardless of age or residence in New York State," Bredell told the Senate last Tuesday. Voting will be conducted on paper ballots in the Union on Nov.

3. Hours have not yet been set.

Alpha Phi Omega president, Ralph Spaulding '51, volunteered the services of the service fraternity as election inspectors. The Senate election committee headed by Carl Mead AT will also cooperate in the election.

"It's, about time we became interested in state, national and world poli- tics," Callahan and Bredell said in a joint statement this week. "Who knows, we may even be voters in a real election some day. We ought to know what is going on politically."

All issues behind the mock election will be the same as those being thrash- ed out on the statewide scale. Some of these issues have already been discussed in Fiat editorials and the leaders of the waring factions toave again presented their views in today's editorial column on page two of this paper.

Students who would like to participate in a 'debate on the issues of the election have been asked by Callahan and Bredell to contact them to arrange a debate.

Candidates are: governor, Thomas I E. Dewey (R), Walter A. Lynch ( D ) ;1

lieutenant governor—Frank C. Moore (R) Richard H. Balch ( D ) ; comptroller—J. Raymond McGovern (R), Spen- cer C. Young (D) attorney general—

The Party Lines

The bi^ word in the 1950 gubi- toatorial election seems to be "eco- nomy." The present administra- tion has been proclaiming the vir- tue and frugality of their polcies for eight years. But the state debt has increased 30 per cent over what it was under Governor Leh- ma nin 1942; taxation in the state is the higheest since people have been calling Fort Orange Albany.

Because of Dewey's vaunted parsimony the State's books were a splendid example of clean liv- ing and wise spending and to the local areas of government in the state fell the burden of financing themselves as best they could.

The local areas were forced to assume the responsiblity for the cost of state government. Towns, cities, villages all over the state were asked to pay for state pro- jects, and then listen patiently to Mr. Dewey's proclamations of eco- nomy.

Dewey's splendid management in the state finances first manifests itself in the "Moore formula." In this scheme each person in a lo- cality was alloted a few inade- quate dollars. By means of the

"Moore formula" many parts of the state were receiving less money from the state during this period of high taxes than they had during the depression when taxes were extremely low Mr. Dewey's economy.

When clamor from his consti- tuents became too great, our Gov- ernor gave them the priviledge of increasing their revenue by means of payments which have been called "nuisance" taxes. The re- sult? An increase in the price of Lucky Strikes, Esso and "Annie, Get Your Gun."

Dewey's excuse for the heavy load was to raise the benefits for New York State citizens. The huge accumulated wealth sapped from New York State communi- ties were to be used for the con- struction of new homes, hospitals, highways. Can the Governor be proud of Saxon Heights lying all over the state from Alfred to Al- bany? Where are the promised state hospitals and mental insti- tutions ?

And then there is ye old Thru- way again. The super-highway is scheduled for completion in 1951.

To date 23 miles have been com- pleted. When state drivers finally get their wheels on the pavement they'll have to stop at the little white building before the big sign which says, "Due to the efforts of Thomas E.\ " and pay a toll for their good fortune.

Under Democratic management

The Republican Party stands for economical, efficient govern- ment. That's what New York State has had during the Dewey administration and that's what it will continue to have if voters keep the party in office.

State aid for education has been more than doubled, and seven and a half million dollars spent for teacher training and expansion of community colleges and libraries.

A statewide teachers' salary scale, dormitories at the state teachers colleges, five technical institutes, two medical colleges and two lib- eral arts colleges are among the accomplishments of the state ad- ministration. And don't forget our new ceramic building built with state funds.

Hundreds of miles of new roads have been built, work has start- ed on the state Thruway, civilian defense preparations are far ad- vanced, and 34,222 housing units to house 13,000 people have been built, largely' with state funds.

What does Mr. Lynch say about this record? He says, "When I am governor I intend to find out what happened to millions of the state's wartime surplus that just vanished." Maybe he should look in the Bronx where 8 million dol- lars of state funds have gone into an arterial highway. Maybe he should look at Dutchess County where nearly 2 million 'dollars were spent. In fact he could look in every county in the state and find new roads, buildings, parks and other improvement.

Dewey's policy has been, and will remain, to improve the wel- fare of the citizens of this state.

Lynch's election speeches have consisted mainly of denouncing the R e p u b l i c a n achievements.

What would he do, repeal the anti-discrimination law which is one of the prides of the Dewey record? Cut down school aid and aid to localities? Repeal the Thru- way plan? Would he cut salaries to decrease the budget which he says is too high?

You've a long way to go Mr.

Lynch, to prove to us that Gov- ernor Dewey is a disreputable of- fical. You will have a longer way to go to better his record, and for that matter you will have a dif- ficult time getting elected unless you make more concrete state- ments of your policy and past record. FB a satisfactory system of "grants- in-aid" had been established. If we must scream "economy" let's put a man in Albany who is an expert in fiscal matters, Walter Lynch. BC

Cider Circuit II

HYPOTHESIS: Who is chosen for what fraternity has a momentous ef- fect on our local society.

You can accept that or you can reject it. Ir you reject it, you can just sit back and laugh at the whole system since it really doesn't matter what rush- ln:g method isused. If you accept it, you should be willing to examine the present system to see whether it makes sense in the light of the hypothesis.

Despite any subversive editorials you may have read, you rushees un- doubtedly are concerned with this fraternity business. It certainly affects you if all your friends are pledged- by Gamma Whamma and you aren't.

You are probably wondering how this momentous decision is made. What do you do to become one of the elect? That's hard to say. The short period of time allotted to rushing and the large number of candidates makes it impos- sible for members of the house to know anyone very well.

So it' largely a matter of chance. Do you have clammy hands? Is your smile crooked? Have you chanced to have a disagreement with an individual member? These are the things that count against you.

For the most part you are judged on your performance (for that is what it is) at a couple of rush parties with a possible dinner engagement thrown in.

What can they tell about you at parties? Next to nothing. You are some- what tense, inclined to be superficial and perhaps a little more pleasant than you are ordinarily. If a guy acts as he does normally, speaking tersely, discussing poetry or taking a strong stand on any subject, he is probably cutting his own throat.

Going into'the preferential night session, the frat men have very little to go on. To say that your being chosen is 60 percent chance is no exaggeration.

The time of night, the room temperature, your position in the alphabet and the amount of sleep the members had the night before are as much, factors as your own personality. '

There is a partial solution to the inadequacy of the rushing procedure, but it isn't particularly revolutionary. That is, of course, second semester rushing. It stands to reason that quadrupling the time before preferential night would allow the fraternities to become better acquainted with the rushees and vica versa.

There are many arguments against second semester rushing; increased possibility of dirty rushing, an over crowded second semester, an inferior inter- fraternity ball, shortening of the beneficence of fraternity life and son on into the night. None of these arguments would amount to a row of sorority houses if you frat members really believed that the choosing of a fraternity house were as important as they say it is.

Letters To The Editor International Club

Prexy Wants Merger

Dear Editor,

Having read the contributions by Mr. Webb in the Fiat of Oct. 10 and 17, and that of Mr. Calabrese in the Fiat of Oct. 17, I automatically wonder how many people read contributions of this kind or the editorials. I sincerely hope that there are more tihan there seem to be.

Both Mr. Webb and Mr. Calabrese desire more action in the student activities on problems of international bearing. Being a foreigner with just four months experience in the U. S.

I fully realize that my qualifications to give an opinion on the U. S. are rather poor, but still allow me to ex- press my opinion. To date my con- tacts have been limited to those made at Alfred, and1 I feel that there is a trend, at least here, to approach matters of International interest in a serious manner. /

However I lhave found that this interest is limited to a fairly small group of people. My observations are based on my experience as President of the International Club, a position which I have held for the past week.

Incidently, how many of you know about the existance of such a club?

Those of you who have no knowledge of such an organization are not at fault. I realize that its publicity has been poor. I also realize that many of you know about the club have tlhe mistaken idea that it is merely a forum for foreign students. This is not the case. Although the name of the club is not International Relations Club but the International Club and although the presidents of the club throughout its two years of existance have been foreigners, the main purpose of tJhe club has always be*en to promote international understanding, and the membership has to a large extent been American. The way this goal is to be achieved is of course always open to question and any suggestion on the line of activity to be followed is always welcome.

What I suggest for a solution is the following: A coming together for discussion of Mr. Webb, and Mr. Cala- brese who have shown a real interest in furthering international understanding and all other students' who have the same interest but have not yet shown it publicly. If this discussion

•hows positive results, I would suggest changing the name of the Alfred International Club to something like the Alfred International Relations Club, and incorporate everybody interested into the membership of this club.

I hate to see another club established on campus, existing mainly on a slieet of paper, because most of the prospective members already devote their spare time to one or more of the many clubs on campus.

The reason that I want to incorporate the member^ of the existing International Club with others interested in the establishment of an In- ternational Relations Club is that have a firm belief that a close personal contact between citizens of this country and those of foreign nations is the only way to promote mutua"

understanding.

Sincerely, Carl Alenius . The above are my personal Opinions not necessarily those of the Inter- national Club.

Couple Married 65 Years Feted On Anniversary

Newspaper Man And Wife Visited By Many Relatives

Four generations of one family gathered Saturday to celebrate the 65th wedding Anniversary of Mr. and Mrs.

Frank Crumb.

A son, daughter, nephew, grand- daughter, and two great grand sons were among the 17 members of the family which gathered at the Crumb home for a quiet celebration of the event.

Mrs. Crumb the former Etta West of Shiloh, N. J., was a student at Al- fred University when she met Mr.

Crumb, young employee of the Sab- bath Recorder.

The couple is widely known in the community and they have been inti- mate friends of five Alfred presidents, Jonathan Allen, Boothe Colwell Davis, Paul E. Titsworth, J. Nelson Norwood and M. Ellis Drake.

"We have always lived a happy, quiet life," the- 86 year old Mrs. Crumb said. Her husband, 88, is editor and publisher of the Alfred Sun which he helped to establish in 1883.

"Frank has always been a newspaper man and always will be," Mrs.

Crumb said1. "We never took up any hobbies. One time we had a garden,"

she said, "but my mother said it would never be any good, we couldn't even' keep the rows straight, so we never bothered with a garden again."

When asked for their philosophy of life they reply that they have tried1 to do each day's job as well as possible.

Mr. Crumb entered' the printing business at the age of 14 when he took a job on the Brookfield Courier in Mad- ison County. Within ten years he was heading his own paper, the Sun.

"The first line of type I was given to set was 'Bear up under adversity, but do not beer up' and I guess I set and threw that line away a hundred times," Mr. Crumb said.

"Although he'd never tell you himself, Frank has been active in local affairs," Mrs. Crumb said'. He was largely responsible for the incorpora- tion of the village of Alfred in 1887, and building the macadam road to Al- fred Station.

A strong Republican, Mr. Crumb was town clerk for 25 years< and su- pervisor for eight. He was also president of the Alfred Seventh Day Bap- tist Church, but stepped aside to let a younger man take the job, as he puts it.

Although he now takes little active part in editing the Sun, he still visits the office daily. "You'd think it was terribly important that he go down every day judging from the way he leaves the house, Mrs. Crumb said.

"I don't know what he does1 down there."

Asked if he would enter the printing business again, if he had his life to begin over, Mr. Crumb gave an em- phatic, "Yes, I certainly would."

Seniors To Order Rings, Cards, Today, Thursday

Senior class rings and name cards will be sold by Robert Steilen and Katherine Cretekos from 3:45 to 4:45 p. m., Oct. 24 and 26 in the Union.

All seniors having engraved name plates are asked to submit them to re- duce the cost of printing name cards.

College Town

We seem to get the impression from the columns previously written for

"Collegetown," that the Alfred student is a flightly individual, uncon- scious Of world affairs. We just can not see how this is even possible.

Every male student on campus is interested for obvious reasons, and every female student is interested for even more obvious reasons.

Another thing. Ringing bells and signing petitions isn't going to get us peace. Peace requires the active interest and desire of every single human being. Like most other things peace is a cooperative venture, and unless we can get together with the guy on the other, side of the fence, we'll never have it.

The United1 States and the United Nations now have a wonderful opportunity to concretely prove to the world1 that we are actively seeking peace. They can go on in Korea, set up an economic system that will guarantee that no Korean ever need suffer hunger. We can stress re-education in North Korea, not reprisal.

We can show the world that we want to be friends., that we want to give the vast majority of the world's citizens the opportunity to develop as free citizens.

Orchards to the assembly committee for a really good voluntary assembly program. Everyone who came thought that Dr. Saunders put on an interesting and entertaining program with Liquid' Oxygen.

A bottle of Scotch to Dean of Men, Fred H. Gertz, (Orchards to the women, Scotch for the men) for the ex- ceptional interest he has shown in the- personal fortunes of the male students on campus.

Just what does one get out of belonging to a fraternity or sorority on this campus. Well on Alfred's campus these organizations enable the student to become an active participant in many of the extra-curricular activities on campus, not otherwise open to him. Fraternities and sororities give students the opportunity to make what often do develop into life long friendships. Fraternity men and So- rority women are integral parts of a

Good to see so many students interested in Fiat policies as evidenced by the many letters received by t h e Fiat on recent editorial columns.

Down giving blood the other day, ran into a few humorous situations.

Burt Tunkel insisted upon giving a fifth, he claimed it is the only liquid measure he is acquainted with.

Two fellows had a race to see who could get rid of a pint of blood in t h e shortest possible time. They slowed up most of the proceedings at the Parish house, but kept everyone very interested to see who would finish first.

Talking about clothes the other day, and we happened to mention that most Alfred women insist on dressing like men. This thought brought to mind a little poem by Ogden Nash.

"Sure, deck your limbs in pants;

Yours are the limbs, my sweeting.

You look divine as you advance—•

Have you seen yourself retreating?"

Senate To Investigate Charge Ot Inadequacies At Infirmary

Charges of inadequacies of Clawson Infirmary facilities were dis- cussed at Tuesday's Senate meeting. Representatives reported in- cidents of unsatisfactory care for students who "expected to get some- thing out of the allocation given to the Infirmary from their tuition."

Investigation of the matter will be handled by the committee which is surveying the question of funds for campus organizations.

Charles Rabiner '53 of Kappa Nu reported that the present $500 tuition has been completely distributed. Any additional finances would have to come from the students themselves. He said,

"The students would have to realize that they are taxing themselves. Any increase in the amout of funds to organizations as the Kanakadea, the In- firmary and the Fiat would mean a raise in tuition." He stressed that a decision must be reached' soon, because the matter has to be written on the agenda of the University Board of Trustees.

The Senate voted 29-3 to support the Flat in its plan to hold -a campus- wide gubernatorial election campaign.

Frank Bredell '52 said that the purpose of the election would be to a- rouse interest on the part of the students in activities outside the limits of the town of Alfred. Carl Meadte AT of Theta Gamma, chairman of t h e senate elections committee was ap- pointed to assist the Fiat in planning the campaign. Alpha Phi Omega volunteered to handle registration.

Ralph Spaulding '51, president of Alpha Phi Omega, announced that the organization would be willing to accept the management of the Bookeasy under the following stipulations : 1 . That APO be provided with an office to carry out the functions of the bookstore. 2. That they be allowed1 &%

profit plus overhead expenses. 3. That Alpha Phi does not assume responsibility for the present Bookeasy management. 4. That the Senate appro- priate $25 t o the service organization to aid in establishing the bookstore.

The possibility of setting-up an all- purpose room for organization flies was discussed, but the problem of inade- quate space again terminated the debate.

It was announced that Alfred Uni- versity has been asked to provide en-

R . E . E L L I S Pharmacist

tertainment for the Allegany County Home once a month. The shows are scheduled for Wednesdays from 7-8 p. m. President Paul Baker asked groups who would be willing to perform this service to contact him.

President Drake asked the Senate to remind students to take down t h e signs they had tacked on trees when the function is past. Clubs expecting appropriations from the Senate were asked to obtain blanks from Audrey Riess '51 of Sigma Chi.

Whether you realize it or not, Fiat Lux is one of the best little newspapers edited around here. That ought to get a rise out of someone somewhere. But its true. Many of the exchange week- lies are cut-andi-dried little sheets-with dull news stories, no humor or, on the other hand', uninspired editorals-. I t ' s a breath of col'di mountain a i r when you find something like a recent issue of the Brooklyn College VANGUARD.

According to its editorial page, B.C.'s Faculty Student Committee on Publica- tions passed a regulation requesting the VANGUARD to print an opposi- tion statement for each editorial on a controversial issue. The request came, we gathered, as a result of some nasty editorials by one particular staff member who must have needled some sore spots. What the committee seeks is representative opinion in the VAN- GUARD, not the control of all opinion.

But the newspaper staff is raging over the unjustifiable request which would cut down the number of editorials and cause the curtailment of free ex- pression.

No comment from this corner ex- cept that our sympathy goes' out to VANGUARD editors.

Union College Library of that campus, according to CONCORDIENSIS, (has extended open hours for student study for a trial period of two weeks.

Slow But Sure Man Declared Myth By Johnson O'Conner

"Statistically, speed and accuracy correlate. We've never been able to find a 'slow but sure' man."

Members of the Alfred Chapter of the American Ceramic Society Friday evening heard Johnson O'Connor thus attack one of the myths of engineering. Author of several books on psy- chology and founder of the Johnson O'Connor Research foundation, Mr.

O'Connor discussed the aspects of aptitude tests. The Researcih Foundation, which now has branches in 11 cities, prepares aptitude tests for college and industries.

In scoffing at the legendary slow but sure engineer, Mr. O'Connor explained that tests had shown that accuracy improved! with repetition, with, speed, inherent.

Altogether, the foundation, which specializes in human engineering, has developed tests for 15 different aptitudes which relate to industry.

"Aptitude tests are developed by giving simple tests to successful engineers," O'Connor explained. "After 35 or 4'0 samples you find tests which differentiate abilities. It is important that tests measure feeling for position, not training and knowledge. There are three traits for success, the right combination of aptitudes, skill and knowledge."

Tests given by the laboratory do not all concern engineering in the strict sense of the word. Vocabulary tests, for example, are also given. "Though we don't use all of our vocabulary, we think in terms of it," Mr. O'Connor explained.

Students interested in the forma- tion of an Int^-national Relations Club (I . R. C.) on campus are invited to attend an informal meeting at 8 p. m. tonight in the reading room at the Campus Union.

Carl Alenius '52, president of the International Club, along with William Webb '52, have suggested a merger of the existing International Club with the new I. R. C.

The new club would encompass the following activities: panel discussions, reports and intercollegiate meetings.

Topics would cover the fields of history, current events and cultural back- grounds of foreign nations. Special em- phasis would be placed on international foreign policies and the functions and work of the United Nations.

There were seven games this week including some make-up games from last week's postponed slate. Delta Sig forged into the leadership of the Fra- ternity League with two more wins this week, while Lambda Chi won one and tied another, and Kappa Nu won one game.

Delta Sig displayed a hefty line and some fine running and passing by John Adams and George Botti in their two victories. There was never much of a doubt as to the outcome in their 32-6 romping over Theta Gamma under the Terra Cotta floodlights, and1 they re- peated the process Saturday by taking the measure of Psi Delta 19-0.

Lambda Chi defeated Kappa Psi 124) in their debut under the lights but got entangled in a scoreless deadlock with Klan over the week end. The lat- ter game was a hard: fought struggle that saw each team threaten several times with neither able to make pay- dirt. Several sustained d'rives got under way but the attack always falter- ed near the goal line. Outstanding both defensively and offensively were Pete Riker and Carl Ganung of Lambda

~^hi and Klan respectively.

Kappa Nu unleased an offensive machine hitherto undisplayed1 as they trampled on Theta Gamma to the tune of 30-0. Once again the outcome became fairly certain only a short time after the opening whistle. Several Kappa Nu interceptions set up most of the scoring.

In the Independent League t h e Bartlett Bombers came to the fore by defeating Burdick Hall 20-12. Burdick had leads of 6-0 and 12-7 but the Bom- bers came from behind both times to

ake the league leadership. Burdick had previously beaten Sam's Barn 26- 3; the Bombers had beaten the Bart- ett Boners 40-0 in their only other tart. The Boners and Sam's Barn tied 12-12 in the only other activity.

In last year's contest the Al- fredians, down 19 points a t t h e half came back to whip the Maroon a n d Gold 20-19.

Thus far this season the Kingsmea have yet to win. In their opener they bowed to Niagara 34-0 and then loot to New York University 55-0. Last week they bowed to Buffalo 52-6. T h e Buffalo squad handed the Saxons their only loss thu» far 13-0.

A dire lack of experienced personnel has hampered the team in its struggle to win a game. Coach Ted Rosequist has the services of only 12 letterman from last year's team. The Kingsmen are led by Sophomore back Tony Sal- erno and end Dave Cohn, who last sea-

ion caught 23 passes good for 411 yards. Brooklyn runs from the single wing and like the Saxons depend1 on a strong ground game.

Alfred will be out to win its fifth game of the season. The team will be full strength for the contest with t h e exception of Carl EJliot, who was in- ' jured im last week's rough Hartwick contest. Ralph DiMicco a leader in total yards gained among the small- er colleges will try and' add1 to h i a laurels. Quarterback Andy Ippolito, who scored once in the Hartwick vic- tory will be available for full time duty against Brooklyn College eleven- It will be the first time this, season that the Purple and Gold have played in the afternoon, but it is doubtful if this will affect Alfred's1 chances.

The Kingsmen, although they have yet to win will be gunning for the Saxons.

They remember the contest of a year ago and1 will try to avenge this defeat.
