Keramos Discusses Plans For Season
Undertakings for the year were dis- cussed by the members of Keramos, professional engineering fraternity, however, no formal announcement of plans has been made yet. Stuart Schatz is president of the organiza- tion.
Differing from the Ceramic Society of Engineers, Keramos is honorary, membership being baaed on •scholar- ship, character, personal interest in the ceramic field and general atti- tude. *
The Alfred chapter, inaugurated in 1931, is incorporated with Ohio State at Columbus, University of Illinois at Urbana, and University of North Car- olina in Raleigh. The original chap- ter is at the University of Illinois.
Alfred is represented in the National Keramos Society by Dr. S. R. Scholes, head of the department of Glass Tech- nology, who is treasure of the organi- zation.
Eleven student engineers in Alfred are members of Keramos. Ceramic Engineering professors are honorary members. The next meeting of the society is scheduled for November.
Stuart Publishes New Collection of Stories
Bound in attractive blue and red, a third edition of "Stories of the Can- isteo Valley" by William M. Stuart, who addressed the university assem- bly three weeks ago, was published last week.
Copies of the new book are being sold by Mr. Stuart at his home, Can- isteo, N. Y.
Nick's Adds Beacon To Attract Thirsty
Nick's Nibble Shop, Alfred's most popular and, in fact, sole haven for soda-seeking Saxons, has gone neon in a big way.
Topping off his complete renovation of this summer, Nicholas Aloysius Moraitis, proprietor, has added a bril- liant red and yellow "Collegiate" to Main street's great white way. In fact, Alfred's first and only neon light has the highest butter-fat content of any particle in this town's Miilky Way.
The weary wanderer who wends his tired way through Alfred's dim-lit boulevards at midnight cannot but grasp Nick's innovation as the saving straw—that last outpost of civiliza- tion. And if the untrained mind has any doubts as to Alfred's school spirit, there is always Nick's banner, "Col- legiate" to jar him from his reverie.
Next to a Fiat ad, Nick, it's the best little piece of publicity this metropolis has seen in many eons.

Photos of Faculty Choose Staff This Week
Dr. M. Ellis Drake, dean of men, will attend a conference to consider the problems of youth this Friday and Saturday. He also is faculty ad- visor to the Student Peace Mobiliza- tion Committee.
Problems Of Youth Studied By Deans
H o p e To I n f l u e n c e Educators Toward Better Understanding of Young Peoples' Problems
"Problems of Youth in the Whole World Today," will be presented by Hillis Miller, president of Keuka Col- lege and former dean of Bucnell Uni- versity at a conference of the New York Association of Deans to be held at the Hotel Roosevelt, New York Cityy, Nov. 8 and 9.
Dr. <M. Ellis Drake and Dean Dora K. Degen will leave Wednesday to represent Alfred University at this conference. The purpose of this meet- ing of influential educators is to pro- mote a better understanding of the youth of today. The members of the association try to better conditions of youth by studying their cases and having general discussions on the sub- ject.
"Guidance Programs in Certain Selected School Systems Throughout the Country," an address to be given by Ben Wood, director of the Educa- tion Records Bureau, is another im- portant part of the program planned.
At a banquet to be given at 7:00 p. m., H. E. Hawks, of Columbia Uni- versity will preside and John A. Lang of the United States Bureau of Edu- cation will give an address on the subject, "The Government's Interest In Youth". Several other nationally famous educators will speak.
Minor In Journalism Part Of Arts Course
A minor in journalism has been in- troduced into the curriculum of the College of Liberal Arts and may be elected by sophomores, according to Prof. Wendell M. Burditt, who de- veloped this field of concentration.
Professor Burditt hopes to have a major in journalism available in the future.
Cultural rather than technical knowledge will be emphasized in the new minor, in accordance with the advice of the editors with whom Pro- fessor Burditt hs conferred.
"College graduates are more in de- mand for newspaper work than ever before," asserted the professor. "It is to meet this demand that Alfred University will offer courses to pre- pare the undergraduate as journalists agree he should be prepared."
Radio Solist Coming In Assembly Thursday
Mrs. Helen Sheard of East Rochest- er, a soprano soloist who has sung considerably over the radio and in concert work in the Rochester vicin- ity, will give a program at the stu- dent assembly Thursday morning in Alumni Hall.
Mrs. Sheard has been studying for several years with Clyde Miller in Rochester. She is preparing now for special radio and concert programs.
The three most important numbers on the program which she will sing for Alfred students are: "Una Voco Poco Fa" from the opera; "The Bar- ber of Seville" by Rossini; "Theme and Variations" by Proch; "Solveig's Song" by Grieg.
Rounding out the program will be several lighter and more familiar numbers, including a coloratura ver- sion of Annie Laurie
Printing Contract Awarded To 'Grit' Publishers
Plans for the publication of the Kanakadea have been completed and numerous changes are being intro- duced, staff members said today.
Individual, group and faculty pic- tures were taken Monday. There will be now arrangements of pictures in the book, many outdoor pictures will be used and all now prints of the faculty published.
The staff has not been definitely chosen as yet, but will be appointed by the end of the week.
Stanley Orr, editor, assures us that not only will the Kanakadea be larger in size this year trat superior all the way through from binding to photo- graphy, to previous publications.
Contract for the printing of this edition was signed with the Grit Pub- lishing Company of Williamsport, Pa., who have been responsible for col- lege books put out by Penn State, Bucknell and other large universities.
No Recovery Yet,
LaFollette Says
"We are not on the road to recov- ery," stated Governor Phillip LaFol- lette of Wisconsin, first guest speaker of the Forum, last Wednesday eve- ning at 8:15 in Alumni Hall. "We must first recapture a sense of direc- tion, for familiar guideposts and sign- posts are gone."
Governor LaFollette continued, in essence:
"We must concentrate on the cause of the depression rather than its ef- fects. Our brain power should be ap- plied to the basic causes of economics, which directly affects all.
"War is consumption as well as destruction. In the post-war crisis, in- stead of raising the standard of liv- ing to the highest ever reached, or junking machinery to make way for returned soldiers, and returning to 1914, the country increased disorder by embarking upon politics.
"Underconsumption, caused by lack of money to buy, is a great difficulty.

Black Knight Here Hoping For Battle
Scarred Warrior Captive of Sophs, Seniors —
At Present Captors Are Defiant Nevius Says Trophy
Won't Be Found
Free of locked doors for the first time in nearly a decade, the Black Knight is here on Alfred campus ac- cording to information given the Fiat Lux by John Nevius, today.
For 20 years the cause of battle and blood shed among the warring classes, the gallant and battered gentleman now lurks in the shadows and marvels by night hoping to avert the conflict which will take place when his whereabouts are discovered.
The minute warrior, scarred and war torn, will be brought to the sight of the students next spring when he will be handed down according to an- cient tradition to the class of 1838.
Placed in jeopardy of his life by the request of the odd classes that he be put on the campus where all would have an even chance at him, the little man will be able to sleep nights no longer.
"If the Black Knight were found there would undoubtedly be a serious conflict, but I am willing to bet that he will not be found this year," stated Nevius, the rescurers.
Freshmen To Elect Slate Of Officers
Freshmen will narrow their field of candidates for the office of frosh president from nine to four or five at a meeting of the class immediately following assembly, Thursday morn- ing.
After last week's assembly, the fledgling class nominated nine of their number for president, ten for vice-president, six for secretary and eleven for treasurer. Pat Tisi, presi- dent of the Student Senate, who pre- sided at the meeting, expects that final votes for freshman officers will be held after the assembly, Nov. 14.
This process of elimination, it is explained, was necessitated by the large number of nominations. The lists of nominees follows:
For president—Bernie Edridge, Daniel Sparler, Robert Beers, Alvin Ivler, David Thomas, Liddane, Rich- ard Brownell, Jack Masters, Edward Ramsey.
For vice-president—Raymond Buck- ley, Rosemary Hallenbeck, Irma Kom-

Craftsmen's Rivalry Growing Tense;
Artistic Secrets Jealously Guarded
Mystery pervaded the Ceramics Annex, Wednesday night, as each group in the 'Ceramic Guild jealously guard- ed its secrets in a friendly competi- tive effort to outdo its rivals. Only the fact that strife for supremacy necessitated concentration, averted danger of a pitched battle.
Each group is a separate institution, having its own emblem, motto, set of rules, inspirations, and aspirations.
The plans of the various sets are now well underway.
The "Red Devils" with a pitchfork as as emblem, are spurred onward by Peg Barvian. Significantly in keeping with the emblem, red clay will be used in the execution of all wares which will be practical rather than decorative pieces.
Indian symbols are being employed by several of the groups. An unusual emblem combining the signs of fire, earth, and prosperity and signifying good prospects in earth, distinguishes Rose DeRossi's group which at pres- ent is concentrating on porringer sets. No definite color scheme has been announced but the work will be carried out in monmouth clay with grog.
Paul Stull's band rallies with an emblem made of the symbols of earth, fire, hand, and beauty. Luncheon sets in gay peasant colors of red- orange,, brilliant blue, and opaque, light green, will be the theme of these potters.
Ginnie Bragg and her ceramists are working on modern buffet luncheon sets, using an abstract design of a bird as their emblem.
Barking the unusual propects of Bernie Mautner's group, their mas- cot is a monogram in the form of a line dog. Various mediums such as wood and metal will be combined with ceramic materials in good taste.
Another outstanding feature of this group is coil animals many of which are being created by the lively genius of Dottie Arnold.
iSimple abstraction based on the cone and sylinder in new and dif- ferent arrangements is being carried out in clay by Rubert Hulteen and his workers. A fish emblem will mark the coffee sets now underway by these enthusiasts.
The freelancers are also feverishly at work. Concentrating on baking dishes executed in red clay and glazed on the inside only, Randy Webb has already turned out a large number of I pieces. Sheldon Carey is working on
wheel pieces. Harold Riegger has undertaken an elaborate schedule. He plans a wide variety of products in- cluding bean pots, coffee sets, tobacco jars, and lamps. Helen Kruger is keeping her plans secret. At present, however, she is working on useful pieces executed in red clay with grog.
Officers of the Guild are consider- ing having one project carried out by the entire Guild in an effort to pre- serve the unity of the group. A din- ner set might be a good solution, they believe. The various pieces would be executed by different groups, the de- sign being uniform.
Many eager freshmen and ceramics engineers have reported for work.

Reporters Compete For Tribune Trip
Point System Expected To Give Accurate Index To Interest and Ability of Eeporters
Working under a new point system established to give a sound basis for promotions and special awards, mem- bers of the Fiat Lux staff are com- peting this week and next for a chance to make a field trip to nearby news- paper plants.
Hubert D. Bliss, a former editor of the Fiat Lux and now city editor of the Hornell Evening Tribune, has in- vited members to visit offices of the Tribune to get a practical knowledge of newspaper publication.
Those reporters and competitors who have earned 25 points will be eligible to make the trip. With a maximum of 5 points given for each story submitted, reporters may turn in as many assignments as they choose each week.
Correct newspaper style and prompt- ness inXurning in copy entitle the stu- dent to two points each. If in the judgment of the copy editors the story is well written, clear and interesting, an additional credit is given.
The earning of 50 credits entitles a recruit to become a reporter. To hold his position, a reporter must earn a minimum of 25 points each month.
The new system should give, in opinion of editors, an accurate meth- od of determining the interest and ability of staff members. Delegates to the spring newspaper convention will decided in this way.
Forensic To Portray Workings Of League

Peace Assembly Set For Friday
Three Students and Profes- sor To Discuss Problem of War
May Pass Resolutions Part of Nation-Wide Youth
Movement Approved by Administration
In keeping with a nation wide move- ment toward peace by the colleges and universities, Alfred will hold a armistice program at a special as- sembly, Friday at 10:00 a. m., in Alumni Hall.
The need for a peace movement in its various aspects will be presented by Dr. Joseph Seidlin, Chaplain J. C.
McLeod, Sylvia Gailar of the Forensic Society; David Veit, president of the sophomore class and news editor of the Fiat Lux, and as Chairman, Ber- nard Alexander, of the Student Senate.
Timely resolutions will be submitted to the student body at this time. A discussion period will be held at the conclusion of the speaking program.
In response to calls received from the Y.W.C.A., Y.M.C. A., the National Student Federation of America, and the Inter-Collegiate Press; a Student Faculty Mobilization Committee was formed.

The purposes as set forth by the colleges of the country are, to duly commemorate the sacrifice of Amer- icans in the World War, to express as students our desire for peace, to discuss through the medium of student and faculty speakers, the cause of war and the means to preserve peace."
New Traffic Officer Watches Cars' Speed
Village authorities have rece.ntly provided for a traffic officer and "Bill"
Paquin has been appointed to this position. He will devote a portion of his time each day to regulating the speed of vehicles passing through and about the village.
The need for such an officer has been apparent for some time since motorists have pretty generally dis- regarded traffic laws and in so doing have placed in jeopardy the lives and safety of citizens.
The cooperation of all, faculty, stu- dents and townspeople alike is neces- sary to make this effort a success.
Those who, after a friendly warning, still persist in ignoring the speed laws will be subject to arrest. If all do their part Alfred will be a safer place in which to live.

When Rollo Fell In Love
(Note: The week's supply of editorials somehow didn't get written this time, and the editors were about to commit hari-kiri when one of them discovered the following bit of literature in a plain envelope, unsidned and unexplained. We offer it for whatever it may be worth.)
After their affair had gone on for several weeks, it occurred to Rollo that his girl was not beautiful. This was something of a shock, for Rollo had always though he would fall in love with one of the pretty, fluffy type of girl such as used to inhabit the juvenile dancing class of his high school days. Looking at his girl in bright sunlight one day, however, Rollo discover- ed that not only was she less than beautiful,—
she was scarcely pretty, as prettiness was reckon- ed on the Bilgewater campus.
Some days ago Rollo had assured himself that he was not really in love with his girl, that theirs was no more than a friendship, a congenial association of kindred spirits. It was well that he could so control the affair, for now that his girl's defections were established, he felt that further progress, necessarily in full view of the campus, might be detrimental to his social prestige.
So certain was Rollo that he was tied with the loosest of bonds, that he trusted himself with scarcely a qualm to go a-walking with his girl one autumn day when a chilly, brisk wind quick- ened their steps and, from a purely physical cause, made Rollo's blood flow faster and his breath come quicker.
Rollo's mind took no philosophical turn in the direction of the seasons. He did not reflect that summer was gone, that the season of lazy moons and rose-scented gardens was fast fleeing southward. Striding along beside his girl, talk- ing of little nothings that pleased them both, Rollo was not even conscious that the sun, through the tang of the wind, was warm; that fields on the hills were green while the trees were of varicolored orange; thdt the muddy dirt at the crossovers had become harder the past few nights and soon would be frozen and icy.
In a word, Rollo did not realize that for the moment time in its flight was standing still, and that the serious self behind his bantering exterior was contemplating the world and his girl almost in the cold light of eternity. He did not sense until it was too late, until the ephemeral cause had fled, leaving the breath-taking effect irremediably and foremost in his mind, this his mental balance had shifted,—so that in a flash the inadequate creature by his side had become the central factor in his scheme of life.
H
e seemed to know, when this intuitive ex- perience had passed, that his was not the right to demand perfection. He had seen, himself, with- out vanity and without reprobation, as an opinionated, conceited lout, starved from too much love for himself, groping in his subcon- scious for an unselfish affection for someone else;
queer, with more than his allotment of youthful distortions; despising at heart the simple regular- ity of the pretty faces and uniformly bulging forms he professed to admire.
In the same few seconds he felt, though she had said nothing to substantiate the feeling, that in his girl, who symbolically was swinging along in step with him, was the answer to his manifold needs. He looked at her sideways and in the transitory light of inspired reason (and for many months thereafter) he, saw a face full of freshness, independence, the joy of living. He recognized sympathy, dependability, and the in- definable quality that had drawn him, unsuspect- ing, to her in the first place.
All at once, as though in reaction from the sudden shock of finding all these things, Rollo went warm all over. Basking in the luxurious radiance of a new, glorious sensation, that made the wind and the sun and the green fields drop into subordinate places in his newly ordered world, Rollo knew, and felt not the slightest strangeness in the knowing, that he was for the first time in love. He continued to walk along briskly and strove as usual to interest the strange- ly attractive, the somehow beautiful girl at his side, while his mind raced ahead of him and sought a means to tell the girl about its wonder- ful new fixation.

Relics Of Frozen North
In New Steinheitn Gift
The Allen Steinheim Museum was recently the recipient of an extensive collection of Eskimo and Alaskan In- dian implements, hunting equipment and curios. In addition there is a smaller collection of arms and other interesting articles from Spain and Algiers.
The donor of these valuable articles is Captain H. N. Wood, recently re- tired from the United States Coast Guard. Captain Wood is a brother of Misses Angeline and Julia Wood, former teachers in the New York State School of Agriculture, who main- tain summer quarters in Alfred.
Their brother's interest in Alfred was aroused during his visits to them. He has spent much of his life visiting unfrequented parts of the globe. The Eskimo collection was made during the Arctic cruises of U. S. Cutter,
"Bear", in 1897 and 1898.
The articles in this collection are typical of a people in rather primitive state. The use of steel and iron is rare, probably only in cases where it was supplied by white traders. None of the products of the temperate zone,
•uch as cotton or hemp were employ- ed and wood only to a limited degree.
A surprising skill is revealed by these people in the construction of articles accessary to their existance out ot
the materials at hand, namely raw- hide, bone, horns and antlers, and ivory from tusks. There are spoons carved from bone and large ladles, made from antlers which were soften- ed and turned inside out. Combs, buttons, shuttles used in net making, and small trinkets are of carved ivory.
There is a complete hunting equip- ment including tiny bird traps, rabbit snares, fish lines of rawhide with flint or ivory hooks, and fleshing knives used in preparing hides.
The larger implements are seal harpoons, and a long harpoon line made of rawhide. One ingenious tool is an ice skimmer, with which ice may be broken and then skimmed off, to facilitate ice fishing. Included in the collection is a pair of ice shoes, to be used when walking on crusted snow or ice, which are quite different from the ordinary snow shoe used on soft snow. One curious article is a pouch made entirely of the feet of some webb-footed birds. These are carefully flattened and sewed together.
Another ingenious invention is an eye shade and a pair of snow glasses carved entirely from wood—some- what in the manner of early automo- bile "goggles". These form a most efficient eye protection, though just how this result is achieved without the use of glass or other transparent materials, the writer is unable to describe. They must be seen to be appreciated. Most of these articles were made by Eskimos lMog In the Ticinity of Bearing Strait.
Give Aptitude Test
For Medical Schools
Medical Aptitude tests, used by 90 per cent of the medical colleges in the country in evaluating students for admission, will be given in Alfred University, Dec. 6, at 3:00 p. m. The fee for taking the test will be $1.
It is recommended that all students planning to enter medical school in 1936, take the tests on the indicated date, since the examination is given only once each year.
. Students wishing to take these tests must see Prof. A. D. Bond personally or mail him a post card stating the fact.

Term papers in English as far as I'm concerned. They have no value and are generally the cause of in- somnia and nervous break downs.—
Robert Corsaw, '39.
Alfred could certainly do without Frosh hats for girls, and the excess of so-called "men".—Rosemary Hall- enbeck, '39.
Alfred would be much better off with the elimination of several frosh I know and the surplus of cigarette
"grubs".—"Rosie" Holmes, '38.
I think the ban on Sunday night entertainments could be done away with to a certain extent. Alfred could certainly do without the people who have no school spirit.—Elizabeth Whit-
Ing, '38.
Alfred could very well do without:
the canine annoyance in classrooms, the student who wants to run the University rather than get his lessons, yellow "collegiate" cars, and the ob- noxious effluvias originating in the chemistry department.—Prof. W. M.
Burditt.
Professors that relate day after day the same incidents or personal obser- vations and who try to be witty and are not.—Jennie Bradigan, '37.
It could do without the lack of school spirit more than anything else.
It would do well if it could eliminate the great number who fail to back our teams. For instance look at the difference between the spirit element in the Alfred and St. Bonaventure game and at the splendid spirit shown at the Hornell-Wellsville game.—
Bernice Tanner, '36.
Burdick Hall is something any campus could do without. It certain- ly is an eye-sore.—Harold Bassett, '36.
•'No Recovery"—LaFollette
(Continued from page one) suspicion asleep. It works well till it awakes; then suspicion spreads and destroys the credit. When debtors are forced to pay they try to reduce expenses. Until we strike a balance between pro and con we will continue to suffer from unemployment and financial distress.
"Increase in total production of en- ergy comprises the central problem.
This must be used intelligently or it will cause trouble.
"Our capacity to employ education, manufactures and energy must be aug- mented. The only method of sol- ving the problem without a dictator- ship must include the government.
Today the world does not owe an able-bodied person a living; today people ask for the chance to earn a living.
"Money must be procured from in- creased wealth made by putting people to work. Proper spending will, paradoxically, create wealth.
"We must consider this: All of lasting value will come from open- mindedness and above all, from our own convictions and conscience."
Governor LaFollette suggested, in a special interview, that unless a stronger man was nominated by the Republicans, that the Progressive third party would cast their votes for president Roosevelt.

Dear Editor:
I wonder what is the matter with the students that they don't act their age in assembly?
Last Thursday when we had the movies, at the beginning there was a lot of shouting and hollering that was unnecessary. It was so loud that I for one was unable to hear the movie.
I will grant that they quieted down after a few minutes for the rest of the time, but I wonder if it was neces- sary and if they got any satisfaction by doing it?
Next time won't you please refain from these unnecessary noises and wait until you get outside?
One Who Cares
To The Editor:
As a member of the student body I want to congratulate the administra- tion on choosing such splendid speak- ers for assembly this year.
Such speakers as William M. Stuart, Dr. Robert Kazmayer, and William Seaver Woods have been both instruc- tive and interesting. In particular I want to comment on Dr. Kazmayer aa he had a message that helped us all.
I do not feel that I stand alone when I say this as I noted for the first time in my three years at Alfred that the students took notes on paper of an assembly speaker. They felt that he had said something that would help them in the future. They didn't read books or fall asleep. They were wide awake as they could be, listening with their ears wide open.
After seeing the results of these speakers I feel that it would pay to have more of these splendid programs.
You have started the year out with a bang. Here's hoping you continue and end with a bang.

Silence Period Ends Tomorrow;
Men Pledged In The Evening
Fraternity men and eligible men to- day are under a ban of silence which began at midnight last Friday eve- ning and continues to 7 o'clock this Wednesday evening in accordance with Interfraternity Council rules as ex- plained by Council President Arthur Whaley.
To limit further rushing after the close of the four weeks season Fri- day and to provide eligible men and frats with time for consideration and selection, the Council enforces this silent period. During it no fraternity man may say hello to a freshman or other eligible men, and vice versa.
During the silent period fraternity men are gradually sifting and sorting apprehensive hopefuls for future fra- ternity life. The pledging machine was set in motion last Sunday after- noon when preferential cards were made out by the council and mailed to frosh with instruction for filling out and returning to Miss Tupper be- fore 3 p. m. Tuesday.
The other half of the selective process lies within the fraternity. Be- fore seven o'clock the same Tuesday the fraternities present their list of desired pledges to the same office.
There Miss Tupper compares the stu- dent's choice with the fraternity's choice and selects the matching pair.
Wednesday night from 7 to 8, dur- ing "stay-at-home" period, frat mem- bers visit each selected pledge and pin his pledge badge on his coat.
Pledges and members then adjourn to I
their respective houses for celebra- tion.
Thus closes the first silent period and the beginning of the second.
From Wednesday, Nov. 6, to Thurs- day, Nov. 14, all eligible men not yet pledged must continue to adhere to the silent rules. At the close of this time final selections are made and the council's part in rushing is over for the year.
"Cutthroat rushing" opens after the second silent period and continues the rest of the year. During it rushing and pledging can go on at any and all times.
The Interfraternity Council ardently asks the cooperation of fraternity and eligible men in keeping the rules in force during all silent periods.
Friday night frosh men had their last peek inside the fraternity houses til after pledging.
Entertainment at Delta Sigma Phi included speeches by faculty mem- bers, President John Norwood, Dean M. Ellis Drake, Coach Frank Lobaugh, Professor Robert Campbell, Professor David Weaver, Professor Lester Polan and Professor Charles Buchanan.
Kappa Psi TJpsilon entertained in- formally.
Klan Alpine spent the evening in singing, dancing and playing cards.
Theta Kappa Nu held a salesmen's convention. Advertisements deco- rated the walls, cigars were passed out, and a bar!—dispensing cider!
graced one corner.
Mrs. 'Red' Alexander Honored At Dinner
Bartlett welcomed Mrs. Bernard Alexander, a week-end guest in Alfred, at a formal dinner and informal cele- bration at the dorm Saturday night.
The occasion was planned as a sur- prise for Mr. and Mrs. Alexander by the counselors and Mrs. Jennie Camp, Bartlett's house mother. Mr. Alex- ander is a former counselor and is steward at Bartlett for the second year.
The guests of honor were accorded an impressive reception as they entered the dining room. Two flower boys, Karl Gullick and David Leach, stationed in the entrance hall shower- ed them with petals of the sturdy plant, the cabbage and Ray Liddane, at the piano, struck up the wedding march.
John Young, toast master, intro- duced Mrs. Camp who made the open- ing speech of welcome. Chaplain James C. McLeod, introduced as
"friend of youth and enemy of bache- lorhoon," made a few impromptu re- marks and offered his services, gratis, to any member of Bartlett who might decide in future life to desert the ranks of bachelors.
Mr. Rosenberg reviewed the achieve- ments of Mr. Alexander at Alfred, stressing particularly his successful management of Freshman camp in 1934 and his courageous instigation of the Alfred forum this yeyar.
On behalf of Delta Sig of .which Mr. Alexander is an active member, Stewart Schatz welcomed Mrs. Alex- ander and bade farewell to a fellow bachelor.
The quartet of the Alfred Glee Club whose members are: Edwin Brew- ster, Weston Drake, Robert Howe and Francis Ruggles, sang a group of songs.
The main event of the evening was the conferring of the honorary degree of Bachelor of Home Engineering on
"Red" Alexander by "the Society for the Salvation of Hen-pecked Hus- bands". He was invested with the hood of the degree a kitchen apron.
Guest at the dinner were: Miss Lydia Conover; Chaplain and Mrs.
James C. McLeod, Mrs. Bernard Alex- ander, Elsie Bonnet, Theola Kilbourne, Margaret Reilley and Ann Scholes.
iMr. and Mrs. Alexander were mar- ried June 15, at the home of the bride, the former Miss Anna Edna Leonard, in Sair Haven, N. J. Chaplain Mc- Leod officiated at the wedding cere- mony.

Cowboys vs. Indians In YW Party Skit
Siitting Bull uttered a war whoop, snatched Lady Clara Vere de Vere from the arms of her cowboy lover and escaped into the wilderness. "Alas,"
said Wild Nell—
What? Oh, the faculty skit last Thursday at the Y.W.C.A. party in Social Hall.
A thrilling melodrama of the days when men were men and women—
well, you should have seen Miss Tup- per as Nell, belle of the frontier, jealously guarding Miss Shepard, dashing young cowboy, from the ad- vances of Lady Vere de Vere, Miss Rogers.
The hit of tne evening came in the persons of Dean Degen and Mrs.
Scholes, Indian chiiefs, and Mrs. Ellis, corn-cob pipe in mouth, as the witch doctor who invoked the aid of the spirits. As these braves stirringly gave a war dance, the audience was convulsed. Miss Nelson read the drama to the appropriate musical background furnished by Mrs. Seidlin.
A ghost story read by Mrs. John Spicer, and the fortune telling of Miss Philabia Sheheen added to the entertainment.
Shrieks and groans from the "tor- ture chamber" echoed through the building as perspiring victims clam- bered over tin pails and through tunnels and as honey-smeared lips were made to kiss the flour-covered
"bible". -
Cider and daughnuts disappeared with surprising rapidity and the eve- ning closed with dancing and "Good Night Ladies".

Nov. 26 Designated For All-Stag Dance
Tattered tramps, capering clowns, and ghastly ghosts will again run rampant at the annual, all-stag dance to be held by the A.U.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A. in the gymnasium on Tues- day, Nov. 26, the evening before Thanksgiving recess.
As yet the orchestra has not been picked out, but extensive prepara- tions, under chairman Ben Lynn, are in progress. Mr. Lynn confirm- ed the report that a prize will be given again this year for the most novel costume.
This dance, the only all-college stag hop of the social year, has always at- tracted a large percent of the stu- dent body. A crowd of from 400 to 450 attended last year. According to the chairman an equal or even larger number is expected at this year's event.
One of the main drawing cards of this affair is its "all-stag" rating.
Designed purposely for the giving of every man an even chance, it is al- ways popular with the freshman that has been looking forward to a dance with the football hero's girl friend.
"This social features many ad- vantages make it one of the most popular traditions on the campus,"
declares publicity man, Elmer Rosen- berg.

Ensign Dancers Give Pleasing Performance
Miles Ensign and his ballet group entertained at Alumni Hall last eve- ning with European and Eastern dances.
The featured performers were Lois Buckly and Jack McDonell. Spanish, Indian, Egyptian, Oriental, Classical and Modern dances were presented.
Because of the excellent perfor- mance last year, popular demand re- quested the return of the dance group.
The ballet is connected with the Eastman School, the Rochester Phil- harmonic Orchestra and the Opera Company of Rochester.
Men Have Advantage In Population Gain
The male population of Alfred Uni- versity is on the steady incline ac- cording to the Registrar's file. In five years there has been an increase of 106 men against 26 women.
Five years ago there was an en- rollment of 485 students, 299' in the Liberal Arts College and 186 in the Ceramic College. The present enroll- ment in 617, 298 being Liberal Arts students and 319 Ceramic students.
Of the present number, 423 are men and 194 women.
Court To Chastise
Rule-Quiz Dodgers
"All men who disregarded the rule quiz Tuesday night will be severely punished" announced Sidney Fine, Judge of Campus Court, today.
"Those who failed in any of the questions will be penalized also," he added.
The examination was conducted by the court jury, aided by John Nevius, Sidney Tover, Burton Teal and Bruce Potter.
Mid-Semester Grades To Be Issued Nov. 18
Mid-semester grades are due in the Registrar's office by Thursday eve- ning, Nov. 14, according to a recent statement made by Waldo A. Tits- worth.
Theoretically, the students should know their fate on Friday, but of re- cent years, the issuing of grades has not been completed before Monday.
This is due to the great increase in enrollment.
Formal mid-semester examinations two years ago were made optional with the individual departments.
