Charles W. Copp To Be Assembly Guest Speaker This Thursday Morning
Mr. Copp, Teacher And Prisoner Of Japanese To Discuss Subject
"Japan: Sunrise An<| Sunset"
Charles Winthrop Copp, who has been a teacher and prisoner of the Japanese, will speak on the subject "Japan: Sunrise and Sun- set," in Assembly, Thursday morning, December 13.
For twenty-one years Mr. Copp was in daily contact with the Jap- anese youth and their teachers, at school and in his home. He has studied the psychology of the people, their strength and weak- nesses. He has travelled extensive- ly through Japan, climbed Mount Fuji and visited interior districts.
Mr. Copp, a Wermonter, gradu- ated from Oberlin and went to teach English in Japanese Govern- ment schools. Near the outbreak of the war the suspicions of the Japanese military authorities were aroused because of Mr. Copp's in- terest in exploring mountain ter- rain. Mistaken for a spy, he was suddenly arrested and imprisoned in solitary confinement for four months.
In April, 1942, Mr. Copp was found not guilty of espionage, taken to a small internment camp, and in June, allowed to return home on the exchange ship Grips- holm. Since that time he has been lecturing throughout the United States.
Mr. Copp, a Vermonter, gradu- whose lectures are full of interest- ing information, personal experi- ences and anecdotes. He escaped by only a few minutes the eruption of a dormant volcano.
Mr. Copp knows from past ob- servation that " a hundred years from today all thinking Japanese will be grateful to us for having freed them from their own military machine which is
world today."

Footlight Club Holds Tryouts All This Week
"Everybody has something he can do well, whether it be playing an instrument, writing poetry or driving a truck, and what is more important, everybody Ms some- body who has faith in his capaci- ties, '' is the theme stressed by Wil- liam Saroyan's masterpiece, "My Heart's in the Highlands,'' accord- ing to Prof. C. Duryea Smith, play director.
Chosen as this year's major play production, the beauty of
"My Heart's in the Highlands"
lies in its meaning—the meaning of reality itself. The music, an integral part of the mood of "My Heart's in the Highlands,'' was composed by Paul Bowles. The production was scored for Ham- mond organ, cornet, traps and drums, oboe and English horn.
Prof. Smith welcomes anyone interested in acting and produc- tion, including lighting, costume, make-up, properties, building, painting, music and business, to White '46, is promising a unique Pa r t i c iPa t e i n the tryouts.

Univ. Officials Attempt To Solve Difficulties Of Housing New Students
Rooms Accommodating Sixty Students Acquired In Housing Space Survey
Senate Studies Honor System
With approximately 50 inquiries for enrollment arriving per day at the present time, Alfred's serious housing shortage is fast be- coming acute, according to the Administration.
A survey of housing space, in- cluding both rooms and apart- ments which might be available to new students, has been undertaken by a committee of faculty mem- bers. The results of this survey have not been too encouraging with reference to apartments. How- ever, the survey showed that addi- tional rooms accomodating about 60 students, could be made avail- able, 30 of which definitely could be used for the second semester.
Neighboring communities will next be surveyed to discover what ac- comodations they might offer to the already-large group which is seeking entrance to the University.
Even Barn In Use
Since every inch of living space, including the well-kept barn of one of the fraternity houses, seems to be in use at present, additional facilities must be found if Alfred is to accept new applicants for the second semester, beginning in February.
A possible solution to the prob- lem, trailer houses, has been only reasonably successful in other schools, according to Pres. Wal- ters. However, they do solve the problem.
President Confers With Agency Dr. Walters returned last week from New York City, where he conferred with executives of the National Housing Agency concern- ing the possibility of receiving be- tween 25 and 50 trailers for use in Alfred.
Although final plans have not been made, it is thought that such trailer houses might be obtained.
The difficulty lies, according to members of the Federal Housing Agency, in the great demand for these trailers on the part of vari- ous universities, also suffering from lack of adequate housing.
Bartlett May Have Neighbor Possible sites for Alfred's trail- ers have been suggested. A likely situation at present is the plot at the north side of Bartlett Dormi- tory. Heating, jsewage ylisposal
other conveniences would be At the last meeting of the Stu-
dent Senate the honor system was discussed. The way it is used at Skidmore and ,Barnard colleges, how it was used here at Alfred, what would be involved in bring- ing it back to Alfred—these were some of the aspects considered.
System Merits Support of All Provided that the honor system were again in effect at Alfred, it would probably be used first in the case of exams; that is, the profes- sors would not be present while exams were being taken, for the students themselves would have the responsibility of eliminating any possibility of cheating. In the Sen- ate discussion, the fact was stress- ed that the honor system will not work unless everyone, professor and student alike, is behind it.
Because of the absence of so many regular members, the discus- sion was rather brief. It will be considered in greater detail at sub- sequent meetings. The Senate would appreciate having your opinions on this subject, and sug- gests that you give them either to your Senate representative or to the Fiat.
Bomb Petition Dropped The making of arrangements for voting on the Senate constitution was postponed until certain alter- ations are made. Also, the Senate decided to drop work on the peti- tion concerning the atomic bomb because the members felt that the students were not sufficiently in- terested.
The Senate was requested to in- quire about the chartering of a bus to take the New York students home for Christmas vacation and to bring them back. Those inter- ested are asked to see Mickey Sampson'47.
Mae Barrus '46, Senate presi- dent, announces that because of the basketball game on Tuesday night, there will be no Senate meeting.
Public May Buy Serigraph Prints Displayed In Union
Serigraph prints which have been on display in the Campus Union are part of an exhibition current- ly on tour from the Museum of Modern Art, New York City, Tony Prieto of the Ceramic Guild re- ports.
Purchase of any of these pic- tures is possible by request of the interested buyer to the Museum, it was further indicated.
All requests are to include title, painter, and price of the desired serigraph print.
and
readily accessible to trailers lo- cated in this section.
Recent acquisitions of property by the University, made in order to increase the number of students which can be accomodated, include the Wheaton house, located next to Button's Garage on West Univer- sity. This building was bought by the New York State Agricultural and Technical Institute to be oper- ated as a dormitory.
The Theta Gamma house on Elm Street, not used by the Ag Frat during the war, will be open to students as a dorm, next year.
The Sheppard house on Main, Street has also recently been ac- quired by the University, and will be used to house students.

DORIS COMFORT '46 TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1945 CONSTRUCTION NOT DESTRUCTION
By a Co-Ed
Compulsory peace-time military conscription now, or later—or never? Newspapers and magazines have been printing articles con- cerning this subject for the past two' years, and public interest in it has risen to a high pitch. The U. S. Chamber of Commerce, the Vet- erans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion all have spoken in favor of a year's training for all young American males, but some educators, religious leaders and farmers, as well as spokesmen for the AFL and the CIO give an emphatic "No". Public school super- intendents, responding to a questionnaire addressed to them by the National Education Association, would like to join the two factions by combining military training with "a program of national service en useful public projects, and camping experiences, which empha- size such things as health, physical fitness, outdoor living, recre- ation, work experience, leadership training and individual guidance."
The stress which the public school group places on the individual in its concern over his training is, unfortunately, not generally shared by the military. Civilian advocates of conscription stress its physical and disciplinary benefits to young men, for to them that is Qne of the important arguments in favor of such a national project.
Opponents of the program claim that it would retard rather than further health programs, which should have been begun in elemen- tary schools anyway, as well as arrest the cultural and educational development of youth. Here again the emphasis is on the effect on America's young men, on individuals.
But the main reason for America's adopting a system of com- pulsory training for each young man, perhaps taking a year of his life at its most impressionable stage, is to "provide for the common defense". And would a large body of soldiers with a year of elemen- tary military training behind them assure, us of a position any more secure than the one which we held immediately preceding World War II? If military training had been introduced at the end of World War I, would we have been better equipped to cope with Pearl Harbor, or would we have been weighted down with antiquated
•equipment and personnel?
Extremely pertinent to the question is a statement made by Gen.
IFred C. Fuller: "Conscription is the military expression of an agri- cultural democracy and when natives cease to depend on agricul- ture—conscription rapidly becomes a burden—Military power today depends on the numbers of skilled mechanics to manufacture war machines and to fight them; the trend of the future is toward smaller armies in which quality replaces quantity". For an argument to the claim that national military conscription would provide a well- disciplined force which could be handled more easily by its officers, we need only take a fleeting glance at the young Nazi, trained with ruthless efficiency, who was forced to bow before the American's assurance and quick-thinking in an unexpected situation in the field.
As a substitution for compulsory training for all, why not have government subsidization of scientific research so that the U. S. may be a leader in a scientific progress which is constructive rather than destructive? Why not train young men who are really inter- ested in that type of work to become the skilled mechanics which General Fuller says would be necessary for protection? Why not continue giving* sound training for leadership to those of officer caliber at schools like West Point and Annapolis? Above all, why not train the remainder of our young men to fight a different kind of war—the war of housing, racial relations, economy, and the ad- justing of science to our needs instead of to our destruction? And, lastly, why not place our attention on the setting-up of the United Nations Organization, and strengthen it through our participation?

UNPREPARED—CONQUERED By a Veteran
It is of paramount importance to this country and the whole
"world to maintain an effective military strength in the post-war world, asserted War Secretary Patterson in the annual edition of the Army and Navy Journal.
''Postwar reaction in a democracy tends to reduce its military establishment to impotency In the past the error has been remedi- able when attack threatened. In the future, it will be irreparable.
If there is another war, the unready will be conquered."
Secretary Patterson's fore-warning cannot be taken too seriously.
Army and Navy top officials agree that voluntary enlistments alone are not likely to keep our military strength at a minimum re- quired to protect us from possible aggressors.
The Pearl Harbor Investigation reveals that we were unpre- pared. Even the first inductees under the Selective Service Act were not considered sufficiently skilled in military warfare to be of use at the time of the Pearl Harbor Incident. The war revealed that months of training were required to convert civilians into soldiers;
to take their place in a carefully timed military machine; and to learn the science of modern warfare. Fortunately the time was available.
Development of faster implements of war such as the atomic bomb and jet propelled planes, leads to the conclusion that there will be no time for preparedness after an attack. If voluntary enlist- ments will not keep our military strength at a minimum required for national protection, compulsory military training is essential.

Editor's Mail Box
Editor, Fiat Lux:
"Nestled away mid the Empire State hills. . . . "
How apt an illustration this is of Alfred's campus! That realization was made startlingly clear to me when I heard that student interest and concern over the future of the atomic bomb was so slight as to warrant discontinuation of any further action on the question by the Student Senate.
Must it continue to be, after four years of a terrible war which has influenced, in some way, the lives of every individual in com- munities large and small, that these individuals still cannot see their place in relation to the rest of humanity ? It seems a pitiful con- dition indeed when college com- munities, allegedly the leaders in the foundation of a better society, can ignore or be unconscious of the challenge and opportunity they have in affecting the control of atomic power.
Surely no one on this campus can be completely unaware of the nation-wide discussion of the atom- ic bomb. The realization of the total destructive power of the bomb has lead Britain, Canada, and the United States to take steps toward the control of such a weapon. The results of their actions will affect the life of every student on this campus, as future workers in a world community; and, therefore, each student should, by a coopera- tive effort with others, state his opinion clearly, through the means of a petition or a personal letter directed to President Truman and /or the individual's Congressional representative. This action, insig- nificant as it appears to the individ- ual, when coupled with that of other Universities and organiza- tions throughout the country will exert pressure that cannot be dis- regarded.
Is Alfred to lose this opportun- ity of making a worth-while con- tribution to the most dynamic prob- lem of today because her students haven't the time or {interest to learn something about the situa- tion, and fail to see of what value their opinion could be?

Students Hear Discussion Of War Training
In Political Science 21 last Thursday, two members of the faculty discussed the problem of Compulsory Military Training in Peace-time. Dr. Willard J. Sut- ton spoke in favor of the project, and Mr. Clarence M. Mitchell, li- brarian, spoke against it.
Dr. Sutton started his discussion by stating that twice in 30 years our country has been unprepared when war broke out and after a year has taken part. Three times the United States Navy has been the most powerful in the world:
after the Civil War, World War I and World War II. And our ships have been scrapped each time.
Arguments Favor
The speaker then set forth 13 arguments in favor of peace-time conscription:
1. Our national security de- mands such a step. There are three alternatives; first, a small standing army, or reserve; second, a very large perpetual standing army; and third, nothing. 2. In 1917 and 1941 we had to depend on our allies for a long time be- fore we could enter the conflict.
In 1916 and 1940, very small at- tempts were made at preparation.
3. Future attacks are apt to be speedily decisive. 4. We cannot create an army over-night. 5. The only safe alternative to war threats is military training. 6. There will never be a substitute for manpower.
7. Universal training costs less than frantic mobilization. 8. We must avoid a false sense of secur- ity, which is apt to occur since we have always come out on top in wars. We must not be led into a false sense of security such as the Maginot Line led France into. 9.
International military training is the best proof that we are not off- guard again.. World War II really began on Sept. 18, 1931, with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, when the rest of the world was off-guard. 10. Compulsory mili- tary training is proof that we are no longer isolationists. 11. If we have a good, powerful force, we would be prepared to enforce peace.
12. Nations with the greatest strength must accept the greatest responsibility to maintain peace.
13. Men taking military training profit by developing physically.
Dr. Sutton ended his speech by stating that in general the veterans are for conscription in peace-time.
Mr. Mitchell, at the very begin- ning of his discussion stated that the advocates of conscription are trying to rush through laws while we are still war-minded. Also, since the United States is one of the most powerful nations in the world, what we do will greatly in- fluence others.
Librarian Against
Mr. Mitchell divided his argu- ments into five major parts. First, he stated that the proposition is decidedly un-American. The con- stitution does not give Congress the power to establish such a sys- tem. Hitler and Mussolini would have been powerless if their coun- tries hadn't had a system of train- ing. Conscription is not the de- mocratic way; it is the totalitarian way. No nation is inherently war- like; they have been made war- like nations by training.
Second, military conscription has not prevented wars. Germany had military conscription, as did Japan and Italy, but it did not keep the Nazis or the Fascists out of war. Also, conscription has never stopped war or made war less frequent. Mr. Mitchell went on to say that the advocates of con- scription claim we need it for pro- tection. "For protection against whom?" the speaker asked. "For protection against our defeated enemies or our war-weary allies?"

Alfred Welcomes New Student From India
Satyapal Varma, of Punjab, is the first of a contingent of special students from India to arrive on campus.
Twenty-four years old, " P a l "
is large, with an engaging grin, and a friendly type of humor that has made him immediately popular with the men at Burdick Hall.
Already possessing a Master's degree in Technical Chemistry, re- ceived at Punjab University,
" P a l " , sponsored by his govern- ment, is starting a two-year course in Glass Technology. On his re- turn to India in 1947, he will be affiliated with the Department of Industries.
A music enthusiast, he is dubious of his liking for American music.
"The music of India and of Spain relies on pure melody, Amer- ican music is nothing but rhythm,'' he said, as snatches of "Dig These Blues" drifted up to his room from the Union.
Another novelty is first he has ever seen.
" P a l " said:
"The campus is so beautiful, all covered with white, but it is so wet, and so very cold."
Third, military conscription is dangerous in establishing a perma- nent peace. Have we absolutely no faith in the United Nations Or- ganization? And would nations sit by idly and watch us build an army?
Fourth, the arguments that con- scription increases the physical, educational, moral, and citizenship values of the individual is only sugar-coating to make people advo- cate the project. In the first,place, only the physically fit are accepted for training; secondly, it is not the army's job to educate, and in the army no initiative could be de- veloped; thirdly, the morals of an army are not uplifting, but just the contrary; fourthly, there is nothing in military training to de- velop citizenship; men are taught how to kill other men. Conscrip- tion does not develop citizenship as it is possible that, after military training, young men may feel that they have done their duty for the state. Fifthly, the people who ad- vocate conscription are those who would stand to gain from the pro- gram.
Mr. Mitchell closed his discus- sion by stressing the fact that the main purpose of an army is to teach men how to kill.

Alfred Saxons Bow To St. Bonaventure By Close 34-31 Score
Purple And Gold Quintet Lead At Half, Score 17-16
By Fred Clark v
The Alfred University basketball team was defeated by the St.
Bonaventure quintet at Allegany, Saturday night, by a score of 34-31. Latham was high scorer for the Alfred team with ten points.
This was a much smoother work- ing combination that Coach Min- nick sent onto the court in con- trast with the same group pitted against the University of Roches- ter a week ago. The pass work was quicker, with more snap to it, and the defense was a man-to-man, instead of the zone used in the first game.
Again, as in last week's game, there were altogether too many fouls. In fact, St. Bona scored 16 of their total of 34 points via foul shots. Alfred scored seven points through foul shots.
[This writer is a bit doubtful as to the ability of the referee, who seemingly permitted frequent sub- stitutions on St. Bona's part with- out having the players report to him. Somewhere in the rule book something is mentioned whereby any player,, substituting for a play- er on the floor, must report to the referee before the game resumes, or the opposing team gets a foul shot via the technical route. I did not see this happen! Toward the end of the game the St. Bona's coach substituted too frequently and nothing was done about it.
Of course he executed this stategy to confuse our man-to-man de- fense.]
Our offense still has not acquired the sharpness that it will eventu- ally attain, but it is improving.
Latham was high scorer for Alfred, in this Bona game, by tossing in four field goals and two fouls for a total of ten. Lavolulo tossed in 11 points for Bonas to take scor- ing honors for the night.
St. Bona had a scrappy team but, with any luck on A. U.'s, part would have been beaten. The A. U.
ball handling was of a superior nature.
Ed Latham is beginning to hit the hoop and within a game or two will find the mark more regularly.
At the half the Purple and Gold was ahead by one point 17-16.
Near the close of the game, with the score 30-24 in favor of Bona- venture, the A. U. quintet began to fight desperately and brought the score to 32-31, but lost out when Bona scored one more basket.
Tuesday, Dec. 11, Brockport State Teachers will come to Alfred and engage the Purple and Gold.
This writer has received no ad- vance publicity on the Teachers' quintet and can therefore not men- tion anything about their ability.
This is to be on our home court and the Purple and Gold should feel more at ease in familiar sur- roundings. Of course, every bas- ketball fan in the student body and faculty should be on hand to cheer the A. U. quintet "on to victory". Incidentally, if the stu- dents do not already know some of the cheers and songs, it would be a good idea to do something about it before game time.
On the following Monday, Dec.
17, the University of Buffalo will play the Purple and Gold on the local court. - So, this gives the local supporters two chances to witness and cheer our team on to victory.
Be on hand all of you loyal sup- porters.
Teams Compete In Basketball Intramurals
The A. U. Intramural Basketball League is off to a good start. Un- der the direction of President Sam Guarino the teams have partici- pated in six games and are now entering the third week of competi- tion.
The eight teams that are compet- ing are made up of men from all the schools. The teams are: Bur- dick Hall, Delta Sig, Eagles, Ellis Manor, Kappa Psi, Klan Alpine, Impromptu and Rural Engineer- ing.
At present Ellis Manor is on top of the league with two wins, the other teams that are "batting around 1000" are Burdick Hall and Delta Sig, who each have one win.
Last week's action saw Klan Al- pine fall to Ellis Manor, 32-22;
the Rural Engineers forfeited to the Eagles because of the absence of players, but then with outside help they gave the Eagles competi- tion, with the final score being 20- 15 in favor of the Eagles; and in the last game Delta Sig triumphed over Kappa Psi, 21-11.
A close game ensued during the first half the teams battled on equal terms. The Burdick five began to roll during the third quarter, as they built up a sizeable lead and held it. Pedu and Turner led the victors with eight points each, while the individual scoring honors for the Impromptu squad was on an equal basis.
On Tuesday night the pre-game favorites, the Eagles, lost to a fast Ellis Manor quintet, 22-11. Dur- ing the second half the Manor men tallied fourteen points to their op- ponents three. Any resemblance between this game and a football contest was purely coincidental.
From the appearance of the floor play, Alfred will definitely not be without football material when spring comes. Schroder was the big gun for the winners, while the Manor captain, Barnes, and Mios- Igoo each scored six points for the
losers.
Klan Alpine gave warning to future opponents by overpowering the Rural Engineers 36-22 as the week ended. The fast breaking Klan outfit was lead by Jamison, who came through with 20 points, followed by Gardner and Melmer with six and seven, respectively.
The hapless Engineers, who suffer- ed their second loss in as many games, were led by Keith Folts with 12 points and their lanky center Zogmont with six markers.

RabbiSchatz,Corneil Gives Sermon Here
Last Friday evening, Rabbi Schatz of Cornell University, held services in Kenyon Chapel for all Jewish students on campus Chaplain B. Davie Napier intro- duced the Rabbi to the congrega- tion.
In his sermon, Rabbi Schatz dis- cussed the lack of faith in pre-war times and expressed the fervent hope that the world would not for- get to include religion in its blue- print for the future. Rabbi Schatz explained that we must fight for faith as we do for more material comforts.
After services Rabbi Schatz held a reception in Social Hall. Here he answered questions and led a discussion on Reformed Judaism.
Mrs. Napier, Carol Sampson '47, and Lois Berlinger '48, took charge of refreshments.
Joan Ehrens '48, made all ar- rangements for the service and in the weeks to follow there will be various guest speakers. This com- ing Friday evening at 7:15, ser- vices will again be held in Kenyon Chapel. Everyone is welcome.
Employment Service Open
An employment service for the benefit of those students who may wish to work for a part of their tuition or extra money has long been an outstanding need on the Alfred campus.
The governing board at the Campus Union has taken the re- ponsibility for providing such an employment service. All those stu- dents who want work are request- ed to call or apply in person to the Fiat Lux office, located in Ken- yon Hall.
The employment office will re- main open on Thursdays and Fri- days from 1:30-3:30 p.m., and on Saturday mornings from 10-12.

Brick I Leads In Volleyball Tourney
The climax of the '45 volley- ball season was the game played last Thursday night in which Brick I defeated Sigma Chi. These two tea&s held top places in the interhouse competition, Brick I having won five and tied one game, and Sigma Chi having lost only one of six games.
The game Thursday night was extremely fast, and the volleying clearly showed the superiority of both teams. Hard well-placed serving by Lois Mutch, Connie Coon, and Pru Hall built up the score for Brick I.
Kappa Delta nearly upset the Brick I winning streak when they tied that team 39-39 last week. But the winning streak continued when Pi Alpha bowed 41-34 to the un- defeated Brick girls.
Sigma Chi ran away with a 59- 19 victory over Pi Alpha on Mon- day of last week and did almost as complete a job on Tuesday, when they defeated Kappa Delta 49-33.
The surprise of the week was the sudden collapse of the Brick II team which lost each of its three games last week. They were handi- capped, however, by the lack of
Eli Foss '49 Wins Fencing Tourney

players. The team lost to Omi- cron 35-30, to Theta Chi 37-26, and to Pi Alpha 46-30.
The one other game of the week which matched Pi against the cel- lar team, Bartlett, ended in a 46-32 victory for Pi Alpha.

Girls' Basketball Teams To Compete
By the looks of the turnout for basketball practice last Friday and Saturday, the interclass games promise to be very exciting, ac- cording to Fran Bovee, Basketball manager.
The experienced senior team, minus a few regular players, and a quite new, but eager, junior team appeared at first. Later, came a fast sophomore team with several experienced players, who look very promising, and a frosh team, com- paratively new but making up with their enthusiasm what they lack in experience at playing together.
The managers of these teams, as announced by Fran, are as follows:
Senior ;Manager, Billie Stetson;
Junior Manager, Connie Brennan;
Soph Manager, Helena M. Bayko;
Frosh Manager, Joan Slough.

Veterans Applying
An interesting sidelight on the situation is that, of the group ap-
plying for enrollment in Alfred, the majority of the applicants are veterans, about one-third of whom are married.
Though some doubt has been ex- pressed as to the warmth of the trailers during the winter, they seem to present the most satis- factory solution to the problem thus far discovered. Although pre- fabricated ' ' knock-down'' houses are readily available, Dr. Walters pointed out that according to law such houses could not be used after four years, in order to eliminate ompetition for the building in- dustry. Such an expensive pro- ject, providing, as it would, only a temporary solution, does not seem wise to the members of the Ad- ministration. The trailers, how-
ver, being leased can easily be turned back to the government.
Trials of Other Schools Alfred's situation is in no way unique. According to a survey conducted by the American Coun- cil on Education, Indiana Univer- sity veterans are sleeping in corri- dors and on cots in the gymnasium.
Penn State students are occupy- ing 105 trailers, and veterans at the University of New Hampshire are quartered on an annex campus, nine miles from the University, at a Federal Public Housing Author- ity project, originally built for shipyard workers.
end the program. Spike Rodies is in charge of the pinata, and Carl Byers heads the committee in charge of the background for Las Posadas.

Alfred Alumni Perform Varied Notable Duties
Many of Alfred's alumni and other associates are people who have been or are doing things of importance.
Dr. Galen Jones was recently appointed to the United States Of- fice of Education. During the summer of 1938, Alfred became acquainted with this teacher. He taught in the graduate division of summer school, Department of Education. The two courses under his guidance were high school ad- ministration and supervision and educational and vocational guid- ance.
Private First Class Russell L.
Langworthy, another former A. U.
student, the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Lynn Langworthy of Alfred, is now enrolled in Swansea College Wales, where he is studying liber- al arts. Overseas since August, 1943, "Russ" has served in Ice- land, England, France and Bel- gium with the 29th Infantry Di- vision, earning the Combat Infan- tryman's Badge, the European Theatre Ribbon with two battle participation stars, and the Good Conduct Ribbon.
The course which this Alfredian is taking is made possible, accord- ing to an Army release, as a part of the Army Education program being conducted in Europe through the Information and Education Di- vision, TSFET, headed by Brig.
Gen. Paul W. Thompson. Similar courses are offered soldier-stu- dents at the Sorbonne, University of Paris, the Cite Universitaire at Dijon, and numerous other univer- sities open to alloted quotas of army personnel.
Another of our alumni is Lt.
Com. Leman W. Potter '36, who has served in the Medical Corp of the Navy since May, 1942.
