It is felt that tiie talk and the open forum following R,ev. Flaxington's talk is destined to be an outstanding event on the campus this year. All students and faculty members are invited to attend the meeting which is to bs held at 7:30 in Kenyon Hall, May 8th.
RESEARCH MAN OF U. S. STEEL
TALKS TO CLUB
Before a large and interested audi- ence in the large assembly room of the new ceramic building, Dr. Robert B. Sosman, director of research of the
"United States Steel Corporation, spoke Tuesday night on, "Refractory Mater- ials in the Steel Industry".
From his wealth of experience and knowledge, Dr. Sosman explained in detail how various ceramic refrac- tories behave when employed in steel furnaces.
He urged the engineers while in college, to engage themselves primar- ily in learning the ^principles behind the various processes used in com- mercial production.
His lecture was illustrated with slides. Following it, Dr. Sosman answered questions asked by the audi- ence.
PEACE LEAGUE N URGES ACTION
Y
The Alfred Peace Action League, a small group of people headed by Owen J. Reynolds, has quietly, but effective- ly been doing its part to promote world peace.
Representatives of the league have been visiting the various houses on the campus urging each student to send a penny postalcard to his senator at Washington, asking him pointed questions as to what he is doing to promote world peace. Since a large number of congressmen will be up for re-election next fall, it is believed that j these cards will have a definite effect.
Congressmen who are locking for votes cannot afford to ignore the de- mands of the younger voters of their districts.
Petitions are also being circulated in the village demanding that the United States join the League of Nations or some other world organiza- tion for peace. When the signatures of the townspeople have been obtain- ed, the petitions will be sent to Wash- ington.
The Peace Action League is under the direction of Paul Harris. He has promoted a number of similar groups in different colleges. Recently repre- sentatives of the Peace League from various New York colleges held a meeting here at Alfred. ^s
Foster Music Featured In Organ Recital
Prof. Ray W. Wingate, director of music at Alfred University, in- cluded several selections from Stephen Foster's compositions in his regular vesper organ service at the Village church on Friday night.
About two hundred selections by the famed minstrel, have been represented to Alfred University Library. To make the collection complete, "Steph- en Foster, America's Troubador", the biography of Foster by John Howard Tasker, has been added also. The biography is said by many to be the first important biographical work of 1934.
FIAT LUX ADDS NEW FEATURE
Young people, continually en- countering the discouragements of sage and hoary pessimists, begin to despair of a still hope- ful attitude in the youth of other nations.
The new History Society has extracted \ ertinent -quotations from a number of essays submit- ted by students of European Universities and'" Schools in a competftiojr'''on the subject:
"How Can The Youth of The.
Universities and Schools Contri- bute To The Realization of a United States of The World?"
A few of these will be included each week in corners of the Fiat Lux, in order that those inter- ested may glean the opinions of kindred spirits.
Dr. Claude A. Burrett of New York Homeopathic College Gives Highly In- teresting Talk To Pre- Medical and Scientific Students
One of the outstanding organists of : the country, Lavahan Maesch, is to honor Alfred again in an Organ Re- i cital on Tuesday night, in the church
at S:45 o'clock.
Prof. Maesch, A. A. G. O., Professor I of Organ and Head of the Organ De- I partment of Lawrence Conservatory I of Music in Appleton, Wis., is the one
| who so albly dedicated the Sarah Bur- dick Rosebush Memorial Organ in 1930.
It is only through the interest and efforts of the Rosebush brothers, sons of Mrs. Sarah Rosebush, who played j the organ in the village church for many years, that Alfred is allowed this rare privilege of hearing Prof.
Maesch, whose ability as an organist is recognized throughout Europe as wellas in America.
Prof. Maesch has been the pupil of both Palmer Christian and the famous Dupee, both teachers of great re- nown in the field of music. Christian was asked to join in an international recital. This alone is proof of his fame. Dupee astonished musicians at a recital by playing the complete set of Bach's works entirely from memory.
No one had done this 'before.
Prof. Maesch ;s well acquainted with large organs for there are two Dr. Claude A. Burrett, clean of the
New York Homeopathic Medical Col- lege and Flower hospital, addressed the pre-medical and scientific students the past week in Laboratory Hall.
Dr. Burrett spoke of the history and development of modern medicine and also gave some valuable information to the pre-medical students concern- ing entrance into medical school.
Dr. Burrett showed two highly in- teresting motion pictures. One por- trayed the hardships of going through medkal college. It told the story of a Flower hospital student fiorc the |

CONSIDER THE VOTE
It is the opinion of many of the student body and certain members of the faculty that the awarding of the two Loyalty Medals this year is "not being accomplished in as efficient a manner as it might be."
In the past, THE FIAT LUX has nominated candidates for the awards. Then for several weeks preceeding the election, the pictures of each of the nominees—one man and one woman according to alpha- betical arrangment—were run in successive issues of the paper. Under these pictures were listed the activities of the individuals throughout their four years of college.
It is admitted that this method was inefficient. In the first place, a minority group did the nominating. Secondly, the long drawn out publicity tended for organization polities. Thirdly, individuals whose pictures ran last would gain, perhaps, a psychological advantage in the voting.
Because of these reasons, and a generally admitted and obvious result of organization politics last year, Phi Sigma Gamma and Phi Psi Omega saw fit to change the method—which, it is felt by many, they were most certainly justified in doing.
However, there are still objections to the method chosen. These are, first, on such short notice few of the voters could efficiently judge the loyalty throughout four years of several possible candidates to justifiably arrive at a voting conclusion; secondly, the danger that might lie in an individual achieving outstanding popularity in only his senior year, to eliminate some other more worthy student, who throughout his four years had loyally "plugged away" in more re- liable and inobscure ways than did the so-called "popularity" stu- dent of the senior year.
Because of these two reasons then, it would seem that the candi- dates and their activities should be made known to the student body, before an efficient and intelligent vote could be achieved.
This could be achieved, by letting the student body ballot as they already have done. Then on the basis of this ballot select the worthy candidates. The following week the pictures of all the nomi- nees and their activities could be carried in the columns of the paper.
Since the paper is issued two days before the final election, a more efficient and intelligent vote undoubtedly would be achieved.
And of this plan, opinion has been advanced that in those two days '"organization politics" would ripen. The solution, if this con- dition should arise, would seem to be in a provision to award the medal or medals on the basis of the nominating vote. With this pos- sibility always stressed before the election, it would additionally seem that combinations would have a lesser tendency to throw away their ballots entirely,

A SURPRISE CHECK-UP?
Our "efficient" Student Senate saw fit to bring the freshmen under rules observance Thursday, when they initiated a surprise check-up at the close of the assembly. This is as it should be perhaps, since a certain few freshmen believe they are distinctive and above the level, so to speak, of the ordinary "frosh". However, to many the surprise check-up did not achieve its end.
If we are to have freshman rules, all freshmen should be made j to observe them. Likewise, if the Student Senate is to make surprise i check-ups, then the check-up should be a surprise to all freshmen.
And it was supposed to be a secret with only Student Senate mem- bers knowing about it. Yet some of our "distinguished" freshmen knew about is and were prepared. It just doesn't seem fair to those j
"less-distinguished" who perhaps weren't prepared, although they should have been if they weren't.

SAXONS DEFEAT ROCHESTER 39-42 FRIDAY
STRENGTH SHOWN IN FIELD AS WHALEY SETS RECORD;
TRACKMEN ALSO SUPERIOR
Alfred Takes Eight Out Of Nine Firsts In Track Events; Five Out Of Six In The Field— Captain Charles Clark Leads Way In Field, As Whaley j Breaks Javelin Mark— Wallace, Wessels, Hodges, Oldfield and Schiffner Star On Cinders
By Paul Powers
In a biting cold wind of
SHOWflurries, Alfred University won its opening' track and field meet over University of Rochester at Merrill Field, Friday afternoon, 89-42. The Saxons took initial places in eight of the nine running events and five out of the six firsts in the field.
Despite the inclement weather, however, some exceptional times, distances and heights were recorded. "Wallace and Oldfield starred in the running events, each taking two firsts. Captain Charlie Clark, although injured, led his Saxon teammates to victory in the field.
A new record was set in the javelin by Whaley.
Superb Strength In Field For the first time in recent years, Alfred gained the initial honors in
Whaley Set Record
The javelin was easily Alfred's event. Whaley and Sutherby had little the field. Art Whaley, aided by Tom I trouble in annexing the first two Sutherby of Hornell, Hayward, Trum-! places. The distance was a good one bull, Edelson and Minnick, did ex-
ceptionally fine work to win many points for the Purple in the six dif- ferent turf events.
Eric Hodges, flashy football quarter- back, in the face of a razor-edged wind, clocked in a brilliant 10.7 sec- ond mark in the century, leading his Rochester opponents by several feet to the tape. In the 220 dash, Hodges again duplicated by coming in second, inches behind Alfred's Wallace, who crossed in slightly more than 24 seconds. Wallace also took first in the 440 dash with Corsaw of Alfred gaining a third.
too, 159 feet 5 inches. This was a new record, the old mark was 159 feet.
In the medley relay, Roger Corsaw of the Saxons covered himself with glory by pulling up a big advantage as lead man, over Stephenson of the visitors.
THE SUMMARY

second, Lemassena, R.; third, Steph- enson, R. Time: 0.10.07.

Picked At Meet
What a day, what a meet, what a victory! With weather suit- able for football, Alfred opened its track season by literally run- ning away from Rochester.
Clark, Oldfield, and Wallace are a track team in themselves.
Clark took three firsts, Oldfield two firsts and Wallace, who won two. ran anchor leg on the relay and took a fourth on the 100 yard dash. What a trio, and can they step! Just watch them go on that old proverbial trip to the village.
One of Rochester's relay men limbered up by running with a felt hat on. I bet he felt he just "hat" to do it!
When Chaplain McLeod, who acted as starter, fired the gun, some spectator jumped and yell- ed "Watch that stuff, Dillinger!"
As the timers, the coaches had Dr. Rice, Dr. Scholes, and Dean Holmes. With such sci- entists they probably got the time within a millionth of a second.
As Bill Carrier was barking out through megaphone the re- sults of the various races some Frosh sneaked up and said,
"Say, Bill, bark out that I am wanted over at the discus throw.
Be a nice fellow and do it, eh?"

ponent by several yards for third.
Shiffner, who was not in school last year, proved that he was still at par form by taking first in the 220 low hurdles and a second in the 120 high hurdles. The high "fences" was a close race with Shiffner being nosed out 'by inches by Rochester's Noonan.
Shiffner in the low hurdles event, however, came back to show Noonan up, when he led by several feet to the tape. In the low hurdles, Mae- Namara of Alfred was nosed out by inches for second.
Captain Clark Leads Way Captain Charlie Clark took first places in the pole vault, broad jump and a tie with his teammate, Whaley, fn t h e high jump, despite the fact that Clark received a bad elbow in- jury about a week ago, when while vaulting the pole snapped while he was in mid-air.
Sutherby and Minnick tied for a third place in the vaulting, which stop- ped at 10 feet, although Clark could have gone higher perhaps. Hayward annexed the shot put with a 39 foot one inch distance. Trumbull of Al- fred was close behind with a 35%
foot heave.
Although Crayton of Rochester took j first in the discuss, Edelson and Hay- J ward evened up the event by taking second and third, respectively. Clark ripped off an outstanding 21 foot 7 inch leap to take initial honors in the ' broad jump, obtaining this mark on his last trial, while either Noonan or | Goe"ble of Rochester, who tied for the j last two places, stood a good chance of taking the initial honors.
