Who's Who is an annual publication which includes students nominated by most of the colleges and universities in the United States.
Selection to Who's Who has always been regarded as an outstanding dis- tinction.
Vet Administration Appeals For Correct Student Addresses
The Veterans Administration re- ported yesterday that it is working overtime to dispatch monthly sub- sistence checks to New York veter- ans in schools and colleges but in many cases—too many—the Post Of- fice Department is bringing the checks right back to the VA.
More than 500 New York veterans have failed to receive checks this month because they neglected to noti- fy the VA of a change in their ad- dress or because the address they re- port is incorrect.
VA Regional Offices throughout the State are handling an avalanche of applications for subsistence from more than 150.000 veterans who have entered schools this fall.
David P. Page, Deputy Veterans Ad- ministrator for New York, cited the hundreds of incorrect addresses fur- nished by students as a major prob- lem in the job of processing the appli- cations and appealed to veterans to recheck that information. He said corrections can be made by students through VA Training Offices at the
schools.

Assemblies To Feature Movies And Speakers
The Assembly Committee has pro- vided a great variety of programs for the assemblies that follow. Next Thursday has been designated as Founders' Day. At this date the Seniors will march in cap and gown for the first time.
"March of Time" news films are scheduled for March 14, December 5, and January 9.
December 12, Mr. Kurt Singer ad- dresses the student body on "Spies and Traitors of World War II." Mr.
Singer, a Vienese, published one of the earliest and most important under- ground newspapers in Austria and was indicted for high treason by the Nazis.
Dr. Bruno jrurst, the famous me- mory expert will be the assembly guest for January 17. The New York- er magazine recently published a
"Profile" on Dr. Furst and his tech- niques.
So far, programs have not been chosen for the November 21st or Janu- ary 23rd. On January 2, the day after Christmas recess, there will be no assembly.
Attention Veterans
Under penalty of automatic in- terruption of subsistence pay- ments, all veterans under Public Law 346 must immediately com- plete form 12B, Declaration of Earnings for Months of August, September and October, and turn it in to Training Officer Eugene R. Burgess.
Bank forms may be secured at Carnegie Library or from the training officer at the Ag-Tech library and must be turned in to him at the Ag-Tech library.
Mr. Burgess stressed that veter- ans must take immediate action on completing the form as the completed froms must leave his office not later than November 7.
Music Hour
The Alexander Nevsky Cantata by Prokofiev was played at the Music Hour last Sunday, November 3.
Assembly Seats Changed
At the Founders' Day Convoca- tion, Thursday, November 7, all seats from the front of the audi- torium back through row G on both sides of the isle will be used for seniors, faculty members and
University guests.
Freshmen assigned to sit in the above seats will sit in the center balcony. All remaining freshmen, all sophomores and those juniors needing credit will sit in their regular seats.
At this time may I suggest to the student body and faculty that due to the large number of stu- dents needing credit for assembly it has been necessary to assign seats as follows: All seats on the , first floor, all those in both wings of the balcony except the seat next to the wall in each row. The fourth seat in each row and the last row in each wing have not been assigned. Faculty members and students who wish to attend the weekly assemblies please ar- range to sit in the center back of the balcony or in any of the seats not assigned.

Vet Housing Crisis Improves Gradually
The housing situation here, and at other schools has been a serious prob- lem and many students have experi- enced inconveniences because of it.
However, here at Alfred, according to Dean Stone, this situation is gradual- ly clearing up.
Alfred's housing program is in opera- tion at three main points on the school grounds and areas surrounding the campus itself. Site A is situated around three quarters of a mile from the school up the Belmont road. This project is moving along rapidly be- cauuse the labor situation is better and more help can now be obtained.
At this site, the utility lines have nearly been completed and all that must be done is the installation of laterals which connect, the various buildings with the main utility lines.
The apartment project will probably be ready around the first of Decem- ber and any married veterans who wish to live at these places should see Dean Stone about making out ap- plication forms. Site B is situated over at the old archery range and C near the Bartlett dormitory. These two projects are still in the embryo stage and they probably won't be ready for some time. These dwellings are being built under Federal sponsor- ship by the F.P.H.A. and the other two buildings under construction near the Union and Allen Lab are State spon- sored. They expect the latter to be completed in approximately two months.
Zeno Club To Hear Gin Rummy Discussion
The mathematics club of Alfred University, the Zeno Club, will hold its first meeting this Thursday, No- vember 7, at 8:15 p.m., in room 20 of Physics Hall.
Prof. John Freund will be the guest speaker. His topic is "Probability in Gin Rummy". Prof. Freund comes to Alfred from U. C. L. A., where he took his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in mathematical statistics.
All those who are interested in joining the Zeno Club are invited to attend.

Varma, Singh, Kahn Discuss Indian Faiths
Sat Varma, Rabindar Singh, and A. R. Kahn, Indian graduate students in the College of Ceramics, addressed the RFA meeting Sunday, November 3, at Social Hall in a discussion of the Hindu, Sikh, and Moslem religions.
The Hindu religion was described by Sat Varma, who comes from the Province of Panjab, and who holds a M.A. degree in chemistry f?om the University of Panjab. Mr. Varma opened by saying that Ho cover his religion in ten minutes was like car- rying the ocean in a breaker. The word "Hindu" does not exist in his religion, he said. The root of the corresponding word means "sustain", and this "sustenance" is the attitude behind a man's actions which helps him to realize his ultimate destina- tion. A man's soul, at death, passes into a new form, and whether it be
| another man or an animal depends upon whether that man lead a good life. Whatever a man was in the life before leaves an impression on hi3 soul, and governs his actions. This, then is the Hindu philosophy of life, a type of predestination governed by God.
All men live by rules set down by wise men, Mr. Varma said. The
"ships" of the "ocean" of the Hindu reigion are four Holy Books, the firsts of which outlines a simple religion, and the second consisting of lyric poetry. The third is the "Lord's Song," and is the Bible of the Hindu religion. The fourth is a more sci- entific explanation of Indian philoso- phy. According to these works, all animals have life and souls, and therefore should not be killed.
God, to the Hindus, is everywhere and does everything through men. All duties are done, directly or indirect- ly, for God. Any action done with- out selfish intentions is a good deed, regardless of the results. If a man

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1946
G O P Speaks
We were quite fortunate last week in having two able and popular Republican party members of our New York State governing body speak before a student townspeople group. Mr. William MacKenzie, who is the assembly representative from Allegany County and who has held that position for eleven years, was the first speaker. He is from nearby |Bel- mont, is familiar with Alfred and personally knows many of the towns- people and faculty. He pledged to continue his interest in the University.
Mr. MacKenzie said that his job is not unlike ours, in the sense that students must answer to the professors while those of his profession must answer to the people. In introducing his colleague, Mr. Walter J. Mahoney, he spoke of his early rise to chairman of' the Young Republican Groups of New York State. The people recognized Mr. Mahoney's abilities and soon elected him to the New York State Senate.
Senator Mahoney in his talk said that he was glad that the faculties of the different schools see that the students have the opportunity to hear our government officials. He did not try to state the platform of his party speci- fically, saying that most of us know that already. One thought that he did wish to leave, however, was this: If he were able to do one thing with or for anyone of us, he would make us politions. The science of government, the knowledge of our government by us is most important. He brought in his friend General Donovin's report in New York, "All of us from now on in better get going in politics. Goering, after his capture by the Allies, stated that the Nazis promised all persons this or that, in order to gain power.
That has been the downfall of all Europe." Senator Mahoney stated that one or the other party obviously must be in power and that his party would stand ready to continue the fine start that it now claims. He also spoke of the communists, the so-called gang leaders, the other smaller parties who are backing Mead in the race for governor. He spoke of the Republican party of today as having come a long way since 1932, and for that reason is ready to liberate the Democratic party from the unholy group that has taken it over.
Mr. Mahoney answered a few questions after his speech. When asked about Mr. Ives, the Republican candidate for U. S. Senator, he answered,
"Mr. Ives is the best versed man in state government I have ever met in Al- bany." Mr. Mahoney mentioned a few other things of Mr. Ives, in particular, the fact that he started the School of Labor Industrial Relations at Cornell. It was Ives who championed the Fair-Employment act. Senator Mahoney con- ceded that Mr. Ives has perhaps done more for labor and relations than any other present person in New York State.
In answer to those who have questioned the large surplus in New York State treasurery, it is to be stated that the new through-highways that are being constructed in this state will cost $200,000,000. Several sections of this construction program are already underway. This huge road-building program is a result of the war years when little repair was done.
Lastly, Mr. Mahoney said that the all-state building program in Alfred would cost $129,000. This will include classrooms, a cafeteria, and A lounge room. The state is preparing the site for all the housing.
It will be quite interesting to find out what Senator Mead will have to say about these same problems when he comes to Alfred, representing the Democratic party.

Music And Musicians
Here's some good news for Alfred music lovers. The music department has received a donation to be used for a record library. Mr. Fiedler has expressed a desire to operate this "li- hrary" in much the same fashion as a book library. Students will prob- ably be permitted to borrow albums for a designated number of days.
Overdue charges will be the penalty for not returning albums on time.
There will also have to be a fine for damaged records. The music depart- ment needs a place to keep these records. When a suitable place for this record library is found, students will not only be able to borrow records, but will also be able to drop in and use the record player. Stu- dents who are willing to give time acting as "librarians" are also re- quired. However, nothing definite has been decided upon. At least we can be thinking about it. If there is a room or two that the music depart- ment could take over, and keep locked during off hours, and which is suit- able for containing the record library, Mr. Fiedler would be very happy to know about it.
The "Messiah" is scheduled for December 15. Soloists from the East- man School of Music have been en- gaged for the oratorio.
Lawrence Hardy, A. G. O., has promised us an organ recital Friday evening, December 5, in the Univer- sity Church.
One of the biggest flies in the oint- ment at Alfred has been the conflict between the Philharmonic broadcasts
and the carillon concerts, both of which occur at 3 p.m., Sunday after- noon. Music lovers are usually caught with the problem of deciding which to hear, the carillon, or the Philharmonic.
People from all over this section have been in the habit of driving to Alfred for the carillon concerts^ while many forego the carillon for the Philhar- monic. The bells are one of the tra- ditions of Alfred, and without them, we would surely suffer a great loss. It would indeed be a fine thing if the carillon could be played at another time, so that music lovers could have their cake and eat it too. We are not in a position to argue with Carne- gie Hall or the Columbia Broadcast- ing System, but we think that if Mr.
Wingate could be pursuaded, many of us would not be robbed of the pleas- ure of hearing the carillon.
Lovers of Prokofiev will be pleased to hear that this composer has writ- ten an article entitled "Recollection"
in the November issue of The Atlantic Monthly. Among his recollections is a charming description of how he composed an opera when he was nine.

Know Your Alumni
In the winter of 1883, Dr. Daniel E.
Willard '88, entered Alfred Univer- sity. He walked from his home in Nile, New York, to Alfred because there was no other way of commut- ing since the art of hitch-hiking had not come into use. He would attend classes for a semester and then go out to work for a while, returning to Alfred after a lapse of a term. This continued until 1888 when he was graduated from the University. Of the five years he actually spent only three on the campus.
After leaving Alfred he went to Wisconsin and taught in the Albion Academy and High School for four years. From there he went to the
Letter To The Editor
"Sing a song of cities, roll dem cotton bale
Nigger n'eer so happy as when he' out of jail
Norfolk for its oysters, Boston for baked beans,
Alfred for pretty girls, but for niggers New Orleans."
For two assembly programs this
• verse appeared on song sheets that supposedly represent Alfred's sport- ing spirit. We protest the continued use of this song which furthers the.
prejudiced sneering attitude which has too long been prevalent towards the Negro race. Alfred University should stress democracy in action as well as in words.
Barbara Kahn Trudy Epstein Estea Krainis Joan Heise Editor, Fiat Lux!
Mine is a small plea—a plea for our Alma Mater. Mine is a plea that NO MORE SIGN^ BE POSTED ON CAMPUS TREES.
I don't hesitate to admit the effec- tiveness of these colorful ads. They are attractive and eye-catching. But as surely as not we are making the campus look like any other highway.
Soon, in a year or two, the trees that line our campus walks will be plaster- ed with signs announcing everything from the upcoming dance to the a r rival of the laundry. Then organiza- tions will use the billboard, pretent- ous neon-lighted monstrostities, to an- nounce their events. I exaggerate, perhaps, but do you get my point, Ed.?
I think there are adequate bulletin boards about the campus—'Burdick and the P.O., for two-—for the post- ers. And, if not, let Student Council or some service organization erect one. Also announce the events in assembly. (AND the Fiat—Editor's note.)
Bu,t please, Ed. let's save our trees for the class of '51 or '61 or '71. Let's keep the Alfred Campus what it al- ways has been—
"A valley so fair where forest trees share
Dominion o'er hillside and glen."

College Town
Well it was a pleasant week-end with Ag-Tech and the Winter Sports dances turning out exceptionally well.
Let's have more of the same.
I have been worried about Jack Carabilli this year. He's working too hard with studies, social life at Sig- ma Chi and his weekly treks to Hor- nell. He's lost weight too, down to 195 now. Why the other day as he was struggling up tp Alumni Hall to make a nine o'clock, he stumbled and fell unconcious. We all rushed over to him but we didn't know what to do.
Luckily John Astracan came by and took charge. John leaned his head back, turned to us and said, "Stand back, give him air, one of you run and get some brandy." The we heard Jack's faint but recognizable voice saying, "Never mind the air."
After taking Ethics from Doctor Warren. I have learned a lot about putting logical analysis to a problem.
I won an argument the other day in this way. We were discussing "To Each His Own" and I said that small towns were not narrow-minded. Every
body else said they were but I cinch- ed the argument. I told them about another small town where a young man had lived in the same house with another man's wife for a long time and never a word was said. That stopped them, but I don't think I was really too ethical about it, I neglected to mention that he was living with his mother.
You have heard ot towns wnere all the people come out and pull in the sidewalks at ten o'clock, well they can't say that about Alfred No one's up at that time. Flash! Alfred record broken, Green dates ugliest woman in Hornell, record was former- ly held by Neal "the Bean" Gragg.
I was utterly amazed in talking to a Doctor to hear that Alfred has one of the finest health records in the state. I asked him how come. He said that it was due to the abnormal amount of exercise everyone got.
Well that floored me, I knew we were .an energetic race up here but I had- n't seen anyone doing pushups on the street so I asked him to elaborate.
"Well", he said, "everybody up there makes a phone call at least once a day. They crank the phone for a hour which is excellent exercise, then they give up and walk over to where they are calling." Well I hadn't thought about it that way but I could see his point.
I saw a man that we can put in the same category as the salesman selling refrigerators to eskimos, a pi- ano tuner canvassing trailertown.

Student Senate
There will be a meeting of all mem- bers of Fiat Staff at 7:00, Tuesday night at Kenyon Hall.
At the last regular meeting on Tues- day night the Student Senate voted to publish in each week's Fiat a resume of the business enacted at each meet- ing. It is hoped that by keeping the student body informed as to what its governing body is doing an increased interest and a more vital support on the part of students as a whole can be achieved.
A report was given on securing buses for the Buffalo-Alfred game.
The buses will leave Alfred on Sat- urday morning and will leave Buffalo at eleven p.m. Girls will be granted the necessary permissions for late hours. The possibility of securing tickets was introduced and it is hoped that a block can be reserved for Al-
'red students.
It was reported that the Agricul- tural and Technical Institute would be willing to cooperate in financially supporting the Senate in return for representation of their students.
The petitions regarding improved bus service between Alfred and Hor- nell on week-ends drew 360 student names. The hour set was 10:30 p.m.
However, a motion was introduced that the question be tabled until the new W.S.G. constitution has been ap- proved. At that time a change in the hour of departure from Hornell may be in order. The motion was approved.
The question of absences on the part of members of the Senate from the regular weekly meeting was discussed.
A motion was introduced and passed that an absence will be excused if the representative is ill and if the Presi- dent of the Senate is advised before the meeting. An alternate will be ac- cepted if the Senate is notified be- fore the meeting. The Constitution states that a member absent three times without cause is relieved of his duty. The group sponsoring him is without representation until they elect a new member.

Unesco
by Ingram Paperny
It was rather warm in Flushing Meadows last Wednesday and the lit- tle girl standing against the fence soon began to fidget in the hot sun.
Before long she grew tired of just looking and started asking questions.
"Who are those people, mother?" she said to the woman beside her. "Why those are the men and women who are going to make a peaceful world for you and me," the mother gently replied. But this didn't seem to sat- isfy her for in a moment she was tug- ging at her mother's sleeve and say- ing, "But why are they going into the ice-skating rink? Are they all going ice-skating?"
Although the newspapers of the country were filled with the story of the convening of the United Nations Assembly and with editorials full of blessing and faith, the people too were wondering, as did the little girl, what these statesmen were going to do. In contrast to the vibrant inter- est in the workings of the U.N. dis- played a year ago, we now seem to except it as a useless toy that must be tolerated.
The reasons for this defeatist atti- tude are easily discernable and must be attributed to the disgust of the people at the petty bickerings and al- most complete lack of achievement of the world's statesmen. This disal- lusionment, together with a bewilder- ment at the array of highly contro- versial and technical issues that plague every conference and a mis- understanding of the role of the As- sembly has resulted in the present state of apathy.
I do not intend to analyze the job and the shortcomings of the Assem- bly for that has been done often and competently by others, and it does not effect us as directly as does an- • other organ of'the U.N., UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Sci- entific, and Cultural Organization.
This group, perhaps more than any other represents a true departure from our old avenues of thought. It is founded on the belief that an under- standing of peace is essential to the preservation of peace. It is a meet- ing place for the thinkers, not the politicians, for the educators, not the generals and for all those who be- lieve in the people as the only instru- ment of lasting peace.
It has special significance for us be- cause, among its other duties, it will offer opportunities for student and faculty exchanges as well as collabora- tion on the problems of education it- self. One of its main tasks, and one that we in the U.S.A. have yet to finish, will be to put across "the ideal of equality of educational opportunity without regard to race, sex or any distinctions economic or social."
These are just a few of the plans of UNESCO, but it should be suffi- cient to prove the extreme importance of this organization that declares in its constitution, "that a peace based exclusively upon the political and eco- nomic arrangements of governments would not be a peace which could secure the unanimous, lasting and sincere support of the peoples of the world, and that the peace must there- fore be founded, if it is not to fail, upon the intellectual and moral soli- darity of mankind."

Warriors Down Juniata In Third-Quarter Victory At Huntingdon, Penna.
Saxons Score Four Touchdowns, Three Extra Points In Fifth Win;
To Meet Buffalo Bulls Saturday
Thwarted in the first half, undefeat- ed Alfred University exploded a 20 point touchdown offensive in the first nine minutes of the third period, then rolled to an easy 1(7-0 victory over Juniata College to register its fifth straight victory, Saturday afternoon at Huntingdon, Pa.
Last stop on the Saxons' six-game schedule will be the determined, fav- ored University of Buffalo Bulls, next Saturday afternoon in Buffalo's Civic Stadium.
Alfred will take with it the only undefeated-untied record of a New York State College—exclusive of course, of Army. St. Lawrence, the only other New York College with a perfect mark, met a biting 14-13 defeat at the hands of Cortland Teachers, Saturday, to fall by the wayside in what was its bid for victory number six.
Out of its own territory just once in the first half, the Saxons had to move swiftly when the third period started. An inspired Juniata team had kept Alfred backs bottled the first two periods.
A 62-yard sustained drive, just after the half opened gave the Alfred team first blood. Driving for four first downs, Alfred sent Earl Robbins of Wellsville, fullback, ploughing over from the four yard line. Jim Kehoe's placement was good.
Kehoe set up score number two a few minutes later when he broTte loose, ran 49 yards downfield, until he was knocked out of bounds on Juniata's 10. Robbins went for four, then Hal Brown, left half, scored from the six. Kehoe's kick was wide.
Brown intercepted a Juniata pass to launch the third scoring drive. He took Everhart's aerial on Juniata's 48.
Brown, Dick Zegler and Robbins alter- nated to take the ball to the one-yard line from where Kehoe plunged over for the third score. Kehoe's kick was good, to make the score 20-0 just nine short minutes after the second half opened.
From there on in, Alfred had no trouble. Juniata was shattered, and Coach Alex Yunevich pulled his regu- lars for the remainder of the game.
Fourth and final score came in the final period when speedy Bill Argen- tieri of Hornell, substitute back, sparked a scoring thrust after a weak Juniata kick gave Alfred the ball on the Indians' 41.
Three first downs through a disinte- grated Juniata line put the ball on their nine. Zegler skirted right end for six, then Argentieri went around left end to score. Kehoe's placement was good.
Alfred led in first down, 16 to 11, piled up 341 yards rushing, while hold- ing Juniata to a scant 26. Alfred fail- ed to complete any of four attempted passes, while Juniata connected on 10 of 25 tries for 79 yards.

Buffalo this year has its "greatest"
team, despite losses and Coach Jim Peele—who has never beaten a Yunevich-coached Alfred eleven—will throw everything in an effort to spoil what may be Alfred's second perfect season in 51 years.

Intramural Board To Reorganize Work
Last Tuesday evening, representa- tives from various groups met in the Men's Gym to bring about the reorgan- ization of the Intramural Athletics Board. Under the direction of Coach Dan Minnick, the group decided that it would promote participation in the following sports: Basketball, Ping- Pong, Badminton, Boxing, Golf, Ten- nis, Volley Ball and possibly Hand- ball; cups to be awarded to the win- ners in each major sport. The follow- ing affairs were elected to supervise affairs for the ensuing year. They are:
President—Harry Barnes, Klan Alpine Vice-President—Al Cooper, Lambda
Chi
Secretary and Treasurer—John Po- lumb, Theta Gamma
Manager—Bill Becker, Kappa Delta It was decided that intramural bas- ketball would start as soon as possi- ble. However, it will not be #ble to get underway until the gym is cleared and Varsity Practice is in full swing.
Besides teams representing various or- ganizations, independent teams will also be able to join the league; each basketball team will have fifteen men on its roster.
Candidates Sign For Varsity Basketball
At a meeting held In South Hall, Monday noon, men interested in try- ing out for the Varsity Basketball team made their appearance. During the short time the men were gathered, Coach Minnick gave them some idea of what he expects and the men filled out blanks to give the coach some idea of their previous experience.
It is impossible to estimate the num- ber of candidates for the team, be- cause there will no doubt be more out tonight at the first official practice.
Coach Minnick has issued a call for Freshman and Varsity basketball managers.
Any student interested in playing handball in Intramural competition, please contact Larry Kinlon in care of Delta Sig, Box BB.
Alfred will be represented by an American Legion basketball team in inter-town competition. If you are interested see Sam Sample in care of Ellis Manner.
Badminton
Any men who are interested in par- ticipating in badminton tourneys are requested to report at South Hall every Monday and Thursday evening at 7:00 p.m.

Lambda.Klan Teams Winlntramural Tilts
The opening game Saturday morning at Merrill Field found a highly regard- ed Klan Alpine team up against a strong Kappa Psi outfit. Both teams had one win against no losses.
As the contest proceeded it showed both teams were of about equal strength. Neither team was able to penetrate the other's defense enough to score a crucial blow and it looked as if the contest would end in a 0-0 deadlock. In the closing minutes however. Klan pulled a surprise
"sleeper pass" from Harry Barnes to end Mel Olson, which gave Klan the points necessary to win the game.
Kappa Psi's final offense was unsuc- cessful and the game ended 6-0 in favor of Klan.
Following this fray, once defeated Kappa Nu tangled Lambda Chi, whose strength was so far untested.
Kappa Nu, hampered by injuries were unable to stop Lambda Chi's passing offense and the interceptions of their passes by lanky Al Cooper.
Although they appeared stronger in the second half they were still unable to talley and Lambda Chi won the game 26-0.
The teams played a brand of "heads- up" ball which made the games really interesting. This Saturday there will not be any games because of the Uni- versity of Buffalo-Saxon contest.

Toronto Men Defeat Saxon Harriers Sat.
The University of Toronto defeated the Saxon Harriers, Saturday after- noon, in what proved to be the fastest meet of the year over the local course.
Led by Preston, whose time of 27 minutes 36.6 seconds was excep- tionally good over the four and six- tenth miles the Canadians downed the Alfredians 20-35. Preston was follow- ed by teammate Doull, and Alfred's first runner Marvin Smith, who has led his mates in all the meets. Deck O'Neil. who was the second A. U. man, finished sixth, followed by Hal Breck- en, Vrbon Ludwig, Zegaralli. Pedu, and Pixely. Alfred was without the services of Clarence Braum, who has been one of the strong distance men, but who was laid up with a leg injury.
This was the last meet of the year which saw the team win one while dropping four. In doing this the men have gained a lot of experience for next year. They have done a swell job and we should be proud of ttiem.
Marvin Smith and Clarence Braum, who have showed themselves as the leading harriers, will compete in the U.C.C.R.A. in New York on Novem- ber 16.
Student Senate Arranges Bus Schedule for Game

Student Branch Of Ceramists Begins Meetings
The first meeting of the New York State College of Ceramics Student Branch of the American Ceramic So- ciety held its first meeting of the semester, Thursday, October 31, in Physics Hall.
Dominic Laurie '47, president of ACS, opened the meeting. Nancy Terry '48, secretary, read the minutes and John Heebner '47, treasurer, gave his report. The president called for volunteers from the senior class to assist, in making arrangements for a St. Pat's festival this year. A com- mittee was appointed to investigate the buying of a projector for showing technical motion pictures.
The president then introduced Dr.
Samuel R. Scholes, Dean of the Col- lege of Ceramics. Dean Scholes out- . lined the purposes of the ACS, and gave details on society dues. He urged all members to sign membership ap- plications and submit a five dollar fee, which entitles members to re- ceive the publications of the Ameri- can /Ceramic Society.
"The ACS is your society," Dean Scholes said. "Membership marks the man who wants to get somewhere, when he joins organizations which are working for progress in his profes- sion." He announced that programs this year will include several speak- ers and technical motion pictures.
Dean Scholes concluded his talk by expressing satisfaction with seeing the large number of students present.
Prof. R. M. Campbell followed Dr.
Scholes at the speaker's table. He endorsed the Dean's request that stu- dents should become active members.
Prof. Campbell then outlined the vari- ous courses in ceramics at the Col- lege, and gave definitions of Ceramic Engineering and Ceramic Technology.
He said that all ceramic societies are promoting the idea that ceramic en- gineering is a profession on a plane with medicine, law, and the clergy.
He concluded by stating that the ACS should have a banner year this year.

Varma, Singh, Kahn
(Continued from page one) leads a superior life, his soul does not pass into another form, but rests in eternal peace.
The Moslem religion was discussed by A. R. Kahn, who came from Jubbul- pore City, Central Providence, India, and who holds a M.A. in chemistry from Magpur University. Mr. Kahn began by saying that he believes all religions to be basically the same.
He then quoted an Indian creed:
"There is only one God, and Moham- med is His Prophet," and said that anyone who believes this is a Mos- lem. To be a true Moslem, one must do five things: first, he must offer prayers five times a day if possible, and no less often than every fort- night. Before praying, he and his clothes must be absolutely clean. In the mosque, prayers are led by a lay- man, and the Priest offers a short sermon. Mr. Kahn himself does not pray now, but states that he does not believe it necessary as long as he does not commit sins.
Secondly, a Moslem must observe a one-month fast every year, during which time he does not eat from 4:00 a.m., until 6:00 p.m., and abstains from all luxuries. At the conclusion of this fast, celebrations and mass prayers are held. Third, he must be charitable, and work for an equal dis- ribution of wealth among members of the faith. Those who can must give one-third of their earnings for this purpose. Fourth, a Moslem must visit a holy place at least once in his life, to meet his fellow believers and become familiar with the places, im- portant to his religion. The fifth re- quirement is that he must be willing to sacrifice whatever is near and dear to him in the name of God.
A Moslem may have several wives, Mr. Kahn said, but polygamy i6 not widespread. Divorce is allowed, un- der alimony and remarriage rules similar to those in the TJ. S.
Kappa Psi Holds Formal Initiation
Last Sunday afternoon. Nov. 3, Kappa Psi Upsilon held a Formal Initi- ation for Bill Naum, Bill Simpson, Russ Langworthy, Carl Haegburg/Bob Gaffney, -Duane Beulame and Bill Beazell. who were installed as pledges last spring or previous to spring.
Also present were Dean Whitford, Prof. Nevins and Dr. Wingate, honor- aries of the fraternity. Following the ceremony a banquet was held for the new members.

The Independents held their "East Meets West" meeting Monday, Octob- er 28, at Social Hall.
The meeting was presided over by Satyapal Varma, who gave a brief history of India and Discussed the present situation in India. Three of the Indian gtudents were dressed in costumes representing different provinces. Indian records were play- ed a n d ' dancing was held after the meeting.
on the subject of labor relations as they affect students in ceramics. He discussed the thoughts, feelings and activities of "the man who didn't go to college". This man knows his own job well, but is slightly confused about other jobs. To succeed, the engineer must have his help, which may be had only if the laborer's questions are answered, if his advice is asked, and if he receives credit for what he does.
Dr. Frechette urged the audience to begin now to try to understand labor's point of view, and not to build up prejudices against the man with less education. "These," he said, "are things you can start any time."
Roger Wilson, vice-president, ex- hibited the publications of the ACS, and gave several reasons why stu- dents should not wait to join this or- ganization. The meeting was then adjourned by President Laurie.
Rabindar Singh, who received his M.A. in chemistry from the Univer- sity of Panjab, spoke next of the Sikh religion. He outlined the history of the religion, which has been a series of cycles, consisting of the spread of the religion, banding together of the believers, persecution and martyr- dom, and then repitition of the se- quence. He described the religion as a practical one, which attempts to overthrow the social caste system, and promote the belief that all men are of equal rights. He stated the two fundamental teachings of the founder of the Sikh religion, that (1) all men are essentially the same, and (2) he was not divine, but an ordinary human being who made his life an example of the ideal Sikh qualities.
In the 18th century, Mr. Singh re- lated, the Huns began raiding Indian towns, disguising themselves as Sikhs.
The Sikhs were driven out, and band- ed into tribes which later reunited under one leader and moved into Pan- jab Province, where they settled to an agrarian life. The Sikhs go to their temples for prayer twice each day. They are expected to give one- tenth of their earnings. Their ideals are courage, self-respect, justice, free- dom, and equality, Mr. Singh stated.
In the question period, Sat Varma answered a question concerning the Moslem-Hindu differences by stating that these are fostered by a few sel- fish men, that the differences are po- litical, and that all the religions can live together in peace. He also stated, in answer to a question on the caste system, that it cannot be dropped;
that the original division was by oc- cupation, and the untouchable class was a misfortune which is now being rectified. Mr. Kahn stated that all religions are following different paths to the same goal. Mr. Singh spoke for all the Indian students in stating that they wpuld rather not answer a question as to what is wrong with Christianity. Faith is important, he said, not method. Mr. Varma then asked Chaplain Ball why Christians sent missionaries to India, to which the Chaplain replied that this was done by a fundamentalist group with whom he did not agree.
Attention Former Scouts
All former Boys Scouts who would like to join Alpha Phi Omega, the National Scout Fraternity, are being encouraged to form a branch at Al- fred University. This is a service fra- ternity, and whether or not a person is already a member of another fra- ternity on the campus makes no difference.
Activities will be similar to the grade and high school Scouting pro- grams. However, this will be an old- er, more mature membership. Those who have perhaps forgotten much of their Scouting will have enthusiastic, if not competent, instructors in the local Scouts.
Anyone interested in starting a Local Branch of Alpha Phi Omega, is urged to drop a line to Alpha Phi Omega, c/o Fiat Lux.

Student Senate
(Continued trom page two) get a report on the administration of infirmary fees. The motion was intro- duced and approved that the Student Senate recommend to the Adminis- tration a full-time physician for the school and an enlargement of the ex- isting infirmary facilities. A sugges- tion was made that if this can not be arranged that some understanding be reached with area hospitals for care of students in case ' of emergency.
The recommendation is to be submit- ted to the houses for approval in the form of petitions.
U.B. Coach Jim Peele will find the situation very much to his liking—
the moment he has waited almost a decade for. Alfred will risk its un- defeated—untied string of five vic- tories agains U. B., while Buffalo- sporting what Peele lauded as U. B.'s
"greatest" team—will just be after an Alfred win.
