Allegheny Next Saxon Opponent
Here Saturday
Relations Renewed With
"Gators" After Lapse of Two Years — Revenge Should Be Alfred's Ob- jective
Allegheny College, an old time rival of Alflred University, will again re- new relations and invade Merrill Field after a lapse of two years next Saturday night. As the best results that Alfred has ever gained with Allegheny is a tie every member of the team is striving and working hard for the first victory.
The interest in this game should run high among all followers of the Saxon grid team. In 1932 Allegheny left Alfred with a stinging 16-0 vic- tory and this is still smoldering in memory, as a vital objective for re- venge. Many Alfred Alumni will be back, cheering and yelling for a clean cut victory over Allegheny, as this game will be the feature event of Homecoming Day.
Has Veteran Team
Coach Tippin of Allegheny has had 60 men out for practive since the middle of September with the feeling that a highly successful season is underway. The nucleus for this years girdiron huskies is being built around 10 last year's lettermen.
Coach Tippin also has 10 of last year's reserves who are pushing the regulars hard for their berths.
The lettermen who are returning this season are Bob Edwards, guard, and captain-elect; Bob Hamilton, guard; John Lubic, end; Dick Horn, end; John Froelich, tackle; Scott Widmann, center; Willard Berger, fullback; Dawson Weber, half-back;
Sam McKim, halfback; and Cobb Diaz, halfback. The men who have had previous experience here include Hershelman, Glass, ends; Whitaker, Becker, Cousins, tackles; Grow, John- son, guards; and Blasdell, Nevins, Dorworth, backfleld men. New men bring the total of the squad up to around 60.
The loss of Captain Vanaman, Kent, and Wanick will be keenly felt, but

Prof. Ray W. Wingate
Director Expects Best Male Glee Club
In History
Prof. Ray W. Wingate has prophe- sied that this year Alfred University is to have the finest male glee club in the history of the University. Thirty-four men reported for the first rehearsal last Tuesday night.
Professor Wingate expects even more men at the next rehearsal and would like especially to have more tenors. He has made arrangements for concerts this first semester instead of giving so many during the second semester.
Make Call For Play Try-outs
Candidates For Annual Soph-Frosh Play Casts To
Be Tried Wednesday and Thursday
Many Attend Fiat Meeting
Journalistic Candidates crowded the staff room of the Fiat Lux in Kenyon Memorial Hall, Tuesday, for the first general meeting of the newspaper.
Editor-in-Chief, Charles S. Hopkins, assisted by Associate Editor, Margaret Seese, had charge of the meeting. The newcomers, who. will compete for posi- tions on the staff and credit. Repre- sentatives of the newspaper were as- signed news tasks by the departmental
editors.
A period of discussion ensued. Edi- tor Hopkins outlined -the aims of the Fiat Lux and proposed means where- fcy events on Alfred University's campus would be thoroughly covered during the current school year.
Women of Alfred out-numbered by a large margin men of Alfred at the meeting. It is desired that more men
•come out for The Fiat Lux.
Try-outs for the Soph-Frosh plays, under the direction of Professor Wendall M. Burditt and Carl Scott have been announced. They will be held this Wednesday and Thursday, from 4 to 6 o'clock at Alumni Hall. I
This year it is hoped that the stu-j dents of the two respective classes!
will come out to make a success of;
this year's presentation. There are
!three plays under consideration at present. Two of them are "Sunset,"
by Slansby, and "The Stranger" by Hall.
Professor Burditt has brought to light the fact that people who try out i for plays are entitled to a point' towards the amount necessary for membership in the Footlight Club.
Selections are made according to types needed in the play, so students who have been unable to gain a place in the tryout should not think they are not suited for acting.
All those interested in trying out j for these plays may come out at the regular time, or if unable to do so may arrange for a special time with Professor Burditt. This special meet- ing will be held in Kenyon Memorial Hall Thursday night.
The Footlight Club is the oldest organization on the campus. 25 points are required for membership in this club and 50 points will get one into the national fraternity, Theta Alpha Phi.
These points can be obtained through good work in the forthcoming plays and everyone is urged to com- pete. Those interested in stage work, makeup, and properties are also asked to come to try-outs
Gives Reliefs For Cynicism
Of Conditions
Dr. Wilhelm Pauck of Uni- versity of Chicago in As- sembly Avers Three Rea- sons Why Civilization Will Not Fall
Three remedies for the cynicism of young America were suggested by Dr.
Wilhelm Pauck, professor of Christian Theology in the School of Divinity, University of Chicago, in the assem- bly last Tuesday.
Contradicting the prophets of west- ern civilization's fall, Dr. Pauck urged:
"Remember that there is continuity in life, a gradual flow like an engulfing sea. Thus the cloak of Hitler rule in Germany, for example, can touch only the surface of the basic character of the German people.
"Consider, too, that man is the only creature ever to take his own life.
Each of us is responsible in his own way for the continuation of history, for the prohibition of narrow nation- alistic groups which will try to over- throw the sound republican foundation under our currently troubled democ- racies.
"Know that life is not meaningless;
we are not Just cogs in a blindly mov- ing universe. In the belief that a power exists behind human doings> a God who cares (for us as individuals, we may hope to attain a dignity un- shakable by pessimisms, so as to contribute our port to keeping the world what it should be."
Dr. Pauck declared that our overly sentimental songs are an index of our uncertainty as to the real foundation of Hie. "American youth needs a i philosophy of life to which it can de- vote itself whole-heartedly," he added.

"Swings" Into Action Tonight In Kenyon
Campus Court will hold its first session to-night. Michael Java, judge, stated that the court has been recognized.
The Court consists of twelve jurymen, two attorneys, a clerk and a judge. Sophomores are bared from the jury.
From the looks of things, the court will "swing" right into action with plenty of members present for inatiation, Judge Java said.
Hon. A. School Spirit
Marches With Students
An old guest joined our coterie, a

"with us from the college stamping ground, the Collegiate, up to the environs of beauty, where numerous fair damsels swelled the number of our vociferous marchers who were led by Maestro Wingate and his rejuven- ated band.
Like a snowball, gathering size as it rolls down a hill, our little group be- came larger and larger as we neared TMerrill Field. Torches blazed, voices rose in paeans of future triumph, and the stamp of hundreds of feet could be heard echoing through the streets.
Then with a final rush of sound, we entered the portals of the Olympian grounds. The largest group of marchers even seen at a "pep" Tally

Diversified cheering and an am- bitious and novel cheering squad filled the air with enthusiasm. The team ran through some plays; we hailed our forthcoming tussle with Northeastern; shouted encouragement to our stalwart exponents of football.
Slowly the fiedl emptied of specta- tors and supporters—the glare of lights faded in the night. The pep rally had materialized, had flared, and now, as the day of the game was im- minent—-we all felt a spirit of joy, assurance, and pride.

Theta Nu Wins National Cup
Trophy Awarded Alfred Fraternity For Outstand-
ing Accomplishment In Activities
The New York Beta chapter of Theta Kappa Nu Fraternity has been awarded the fraternity's national activity trophy for the year 1934-35.
This handsome silver cup, which is patterned after a Grecian crater urn, is awarded each year to the most active chapter in the county and, if won for three successive years, be- comes a permanent trophy.
The local chapter amassed a total j of 16,000 points to win in a walk, second highest number, which was gathered by the Illinois Gamma chap- ter, was only 9,000. The points are awarded for participation in athletics, student organizations and the holding of class and honorary offices.
The Alfred chapter of Theta Kappa Nu is proud of this distinguished honor and is working eagerly to keep it as a permanent trophy. Of the 52 chapters of Theta Kappa Nu through- out the country only two have won this coveted trophy for more than one

The Austrian situation is analogous to that of a child of wealthy parents who have been divorced and who has many relatives interested in its wel- fare for reasons of their own.

Agricultural School opened its doors to a new group of students this week.
The enrollment at the start of school was 58, although about 20 more are expected within the next week or two.
According to A. E. Champlin, direc- tor of the school, a now subject is being instituted this year. A course In landscaping will be offered for the purpose of instruction in. commercial landscape work

ATTENDS CONFERENCE
Dr. J. Wesley Miller left Wednesday morning for Rochester, where he at- tended the annual Methodist Confer- ence. He has since returned.
Deutsche Verein Club Holds First Meeting;
To Elect New Officers
The Deutsche Verein held its inaugural meeting of the year last Wednesday night, in the A. U. C. A.
room in the Gothic. Plans were made for the continued advancement of the work in making the campus conscious of an organization which has as its goal, the cultivation of knowledge of German life.
A list of proposed members was compiled for reference to the German faculty. Plans also were made for the next meeting, when the election of new officers will be held. A new series of interesting programs was ar- ranged, to be attended to> by the new- ly appointed program committee. The appointees were Kenneth Greene and Elias Fass.
It is hoped that all old members will attend the next meeting of the club. This meeting time will be an- nounced soon. With a rather large list of new members seen, great hopes are held for the increased usefulness to the campus of his organization.
A week-end of gay activity will en- cloak Alfred University's student body this week, as plans go forth for another big pep rally, fraternity rush- ing and annual Homecoming Day for alumni. The feature event, of course, will be the third game of the season for the Saxon gridmen against Al- fred's time-honored rivals, Allegheny College of Meadville, Pa.
Olsen In Charge of Rally
The rally this week is being staged under the leadership of Howard Olsen, president of Klan Alpine fraternity.
Olsen said today that his program was working out fine. He plans to start activities at 7 o'clock and bring his parade into formation at the Collegi- ate Restaurant. It will be a torch parade, he thinks, although a bonfire also may Ibe built.
Late permission has again been granted by the Deans. Cooperating In every way, the Deans feel that both the Alfred Cooperative Movies and the Pep Rallies are distinct assets. So far the student (body has returned this favor by following out the late permission proceedure, which Is to obtain check-in slips at the shows.
More fraternity parties will be held on Friday night under the auspices of The Interfraternity Council. Each of the five houses will exchange groups.
The parties will start at about 7:30 o'clock and last until mid-night.
Dance Will Be Held
The Kanakadea Year Book staff is planning a dance in the gymnasium in honor of Alfred's alumni Saturday night, and throughout the day the many "old grads" will be returning to renew their acquaintances of former college days, as well as meet some of I the new fraternity brothers and sor-
ority sisters. It is rumored that a parade may be held in the afternoon.
However, this is not decided as definite yet.

Alfred Alumnus
Appointed Supervisor Collegiate Centers
James G. Stevens, a graduate of Al- fred University in 1906, has just been selected by the committee in charge of Alfred's collegiate centers and ex- tension work to fill the new position of Supervisor of the various centers in Jamestown, Bath, Medina, Geneseo, Salamanca and Olean.
Dr. Stevens has had a great deal of experience both in teaching and exe- cutive work. He took graduate work in the University of Pennsylvania, earning his Doctrate in the field of sociology there in 1914. In the last 20 years he has taught economics, sociology, government and education in Dartmouth College, Columbia Uni-

Picture Studio Opened By Mrs. R. W. Wingate
Few realize that Mrs. Ray W. Win- gate,, known to all who frequent So- cial Hall, is a photographer of the highest calibre.
Photography has been Mrs. Win- gate's secret obsession as long as she can remember. She has photo- graphed every conceivable thing that can be photographed with the object of learning the potentialities of her cameras. There are great possibili- ties in ths art for the newspapers, for the motion picture industry, aa a hobby, and for the sake of art alone.
Only lately has she been able to realize the building of a dark room and the apparatus necessary to equip that room and a studio. She has an enlarging camera, a printer, a series of developing trays and tanks, three cameras, and the different lenses for these cameras. Her equipment is probably the best to be found any- where in this part of the country^
professional or amateur.

(Continued from page one) Austria seems to be afflicted with pernicious anemia and Daluy in par- ticular, but also brother Germany in- sists upon nursing her—momentarily, however, Italy seems to have the up- per hand. Germany is not relinquish- ing her hold willingly—and so a por- tion of the Nazi recreation in Austria daily is to scare the Austrians almost to death by the rather profuse use of hand grenades, bombs and bullets.
Despite all of this adequate guard- ianship, Austria does not seem to be recuperating and so Schussnig and Starhemberg (Chancellor and Vice Chancellor, and ardent royalists) do not, with vehemence deny the rumors which are circulating about, that Otto might be the one to restore health and peace to our ailing ward.
The Little Entente and particularly socialist Chekoslovakia have threat ened to march in to Austria should there be a reinstitution. Hungary too would become involved. France is just trusting Italy enough to allow for such a strong, solid front in southern and central Europe.
That is about enough family biogra- phy—lets get to some of the events o£
the day and see how this family, is growing more and more dissatis- fied daily. Due to all of the exis- tant friction the blood pressure of the different nations has risen almost to point of a hemmorrhage in the form of an explosion.
Hitler Busy In Germany Adolf, being very conscientious, is net only managing the economic and political affairs of Germany but her leligious affairs as well. Recently he appointed Dr. Mueller, an old friend of his, to take charge of the problems of the church. At a "church meeting"
held by Dr. Mueller, for which pro- visions wera made for audience of several million, a mere few hundred thousand showed up, but the temper of Mueller was not ruffled and he pro- ceeded to communicate to those pres- ent his plans for the revision of the constitution of the German Evangel- ical Church in order that the church would conform with the plans of Mr.
Hitler.
News of these proceedings reached the ears of the Universal Christian Council on life and work, an organiz- ation which represents virtually the entire protestant world. They pro- tested bitterly against Hitler's revo- lutionary church ideas.
Chekoslavakia despite its close affili- ation with France, who is by no means a great friend of Germany, seems to be getting along famously with her.
It seems as though the two most powerful countries across the seas are reflecting a bit on the proximity of a war following the statement made by Mussolini several weeks ago, Doumergu, in a speech last week, in- formed the French people that should the changes, wider powers in budget making and prohibition of political activity not be conformed with, France could start her preparations for war.
Spain Has Internal Troubles Our heretofore backward brother, Spain, is having quite a bit of trouble these days—violent strikes and dis- turbances in which many people were seriously hurt—and so material law was set up in order to quell the strikes and restore order.
For Homecoming
As the student body undoubtedly knows, Homecoming Day will be observed for Alfred University's alumni Saturday. It is up to us, as undergraduates, to make the alumni feeel at home; to rejuvenate in them the memories of college spirit and enthusiasm. This we can do, if we all work together.
And as a few methods by which we may work together, may we suggest that each fraternity and sorority decorate their respective houses with the American flag and their own fraternity and sorority emblems. Likewise, the main street of the community should be decorated—at least a large welcome sign should be displayed.
That New Spirit
It is indeed gratifying to see the new Alfred University spirit that has evinced itself during the pep rallies of the past two Thurs- day nights. Without a doubt it is doing much in giving our teams greater objective for winning—in fact, they feel that they must win.
The Northeastern rally was one of the best ever held. Much credit is due Carl Scott and Robert Poppiti, who organized it.
Marked improvement in the attitude of the student body, a serious realization of what the rally means to the team, also made it a rally of the best.
That everyone realizes the value of these pep meetings goes without saying. Because of this, cooperation among all groups has been outstanding, especially among college officials. Dean Irwin A.
Conroe and Dean Dora K. Degen, by consenting to later permissions for the women, are in a large measure exemplary of this cooperative- ness.
Gerry Rosen too, deserves much credit. As head cheerleader he is developing a squad that even now vies with the best. The band also is doing more than its bit. In this organization we have something that Alfred has needed for years.
It is hoped that this new spirit can continue—win or lose, be- cause no matter which way the score may balance, we can feel confident that only the better team can now defeat the inspired Saxons. Thursday night another rally is scheduled. Howard Olsen and some of the other boys at Klan Alpine will conduct it. Let's get behind them as a solid unit and again put across another rally for victory over Allegheny—time honored rivals.
Are We Happy!
The Fiat Lux is to have new office quarters. The basement of Kenyon Memorial Hall, which in the past has housed the Physics Department, has been given over to the newspaper staff. President J. Nelson Norwood, Registrar Waldo A. Titsworth and Chairman C. Loomis Allen of the Building and Grounds Committee are largely responsible.
Again cooperation has evinced itself for which The Fiat Lux staff is grateful. With the staff larger than ever before, the former quarters this year proved too small. Now there will be plenty of room for the staff to get together on Saturdays to get the paper out.
It is hoped to make over the new quarters into an office typical of the newspaper.
And while discussing the paper, it might be well to bring out a few other salient facts. The Fiat Lux is the college paper and as such deserves the loyal support of the entire student body. As the college paper, every effort will be made to make its policies those of non-partisanship. At all times criticism is welcomed, but it is further asked that if such criticism should be made, that it be made to those persons who are in position to defend or correct such points.
The Fiat Lux is Alfred University's paper—it is your paper—
and as such must have your cooperation to give its best in news.
Saturday the new office quarters will be occupied. There will be a telephone installed. Even though you as individuals may not be on the staff, any news that you might have and which you may think the staff may not have covered, should be telephoned in on that day.

Such propaganda is being spread in the Saar territory to the effect that should the Saar fail to vote for Ger- many, the situation there would be crucial. Mussolini in order to avert any terroristic measures likely to occur, diplomatically has arranged to help police the country. * Another problem facing the Saar is her religious learnings. The Saar is in the main populated by Catholics, and although they are resting under the assumption that politically and economically, conditions in Germany are all honey and sugar, they are fully aware of her attitude toward the church. Which way to go? ? ? ? ? There is no doubt in my mind as to the path which she will choose.
Austria and Hungary are Chummy Under the able tutelage of Mussolini, Austria and Hungary are becoming real chummy—what with Goembees and Starhemberg or Schussnig travel- ing back and forth on the beautiful Danube to gain inspiration for further work by viewing the beauties of Vienna and Budapest respectively.

Dancing Courses Offered
To All Upperclass Women
A new course called "Survey of | Rhythmics" is being offered by the Director of Physical Education, Nata- lie Shepard, for upperclass women.
This is a one semester course with one hour credit.
It includes the study of modern dance as offered at Teachers' College, Columbia, under the directorship of Mary P. O'Donnell. Dance has under- gone a decided change in the past few years and there are many schools of thought and many new leaders.
Each school varies in its major em-
phasis but the trend in all modem dance is toward dance as an art form with an entity of its awn in move*
ment, quite apart from the former con- cepiton of its interrelatedness with, music and drama.
Our group at Alfred University will attempt just what the name of their course implies, a survey of rhythmic movement using fundamental step patterns. Their work will he of the most elemental nature, branching in the latter half of the course to simple dance composition.
Research Without Tears Now Possible In Library
Miss Qo-ed shall no longer look at places beginning with Saint, as St.
John, New Brunswick, Miss Co-ed says she remembers that they a r e alwaya in the S's because, as we once heat- edly informed her, Mount Vernon, New York, is Mount Vernon, not Vernon, Mount, in any self-respecting encyclo- pedia. After a wearisome day- of ex- plaining, we went.back to sleep, con- fident in her training at that saints are listed according to first name, aa Francis, St., or are placed in one happy family under S, as Satin Fran- cis, and b) that cities and towns be- ginning with Saint or Sain's are in- variably in the S volume down the line. i
us sadly like the stricken deer when asked to find some information in the encyclopedia. Not again (not until next October) shall we have the dis- tressing sight of Miss Co-ed wearily filling out volume after volume, flip- ping page after page in her always vain pursuit of fact. No longer shall we hear her, mutter inchoerent words to the ieffect that she just can't find the information assigned by the Eng- lish department.
No. For the past two weeks the Frosh have been instituting their own National Facts Faster Week. Even the librarian will confess that Miss Co-ed is often slow in getting what's wanted and that it's an odd-off chance that she will not even find the facts required.
To remedy the situation, we are going itto present a few hints, tips, dodges and reminders which may, we cannot say positively, give Miss Co-ed and her boy-friend, the jump on Max Baer when it comes to efficient use of the encyclopedia.
Step Number One
As step Number One, we ask the lady to stop her twitching at the men- tion of the word encyclopedia and to spend lone soid hour in examining the set in the library. This examination is of supreme importance. Most en- cyclopedias differ one from another
In her happier moments, Fresbie thrills a paraphrase from Shakespeare (crossing the Bard, she puns baily).
Her favorite recitation is "Man's imag- ination is as foul as Vulcan's smithy,'*
when it comes to making up names.
It would be a happier world and a better lone for encyclopedia-users," she adds darkly, "if there were fewer Jameses, Johns, auls, Charleses and Henry's." All the popes, apostles*
saints, kings and others get into h e r hair, she avers and it pretty well ser- ves her right 'because she never mas- tered that almost universal formula for listing these illustrious phantoms who, if we are to believe the average Frosh, had unimaginative papas and mamas. In accepted usage, t h e in the method of presenting the facts j apostles come first, saints .second,
• " popes third, emperors fourth, kings fifth—all Ibeing followed by the Small contained within their volumes, but
each exhibits a systematic plan which is strictly adhered to. For example, So-and-So's Encyclopedia may adopt the American form of spelling and Whoosis's Encyclopedia may employ the English; but in neither one, if the editors have their wits about them, will there foe any serious deviation from the particular system used. The lass who finishes the course under Step One will not have long to wait before graduating cum laude and re- ceiving the diploma complete with seal, ribbon and hand-lettering.
As she begins her study, Miss Co-ed concentrates all her mnesic powers and, looking up such key words as theater (or theatre), fiber (or fibre) and anemia (or anaemia) tries to fix forever in her mind the stystem, Web- sterian or other, of spelling employed in the encyclopedia, she has to con- sult. If Miss Co— could recall the number of minutes she has wasted in turning from Theatr-to Theate-, from Flbr—to Fibe— and from Anae to Ane— and vice versa, she would ad- mit that they would stretch from here to Next Summer at the Beach.
Miss1 'Co-ed now takes up the Mc's and Mac's, those incorrigible Scotch- men who, it would seem after her try- ing to find them in the encyclopedia, exist only in joke books. Once a year the Freshman light on the section de- voted to these fellows, and with a lookie, lookie, proudly announce that they have .solved the Mystery of the Missing Mac's. We would not be now counting the silver threads among the gold if they remembered where they found them. With one hand on the henna we once more summarize the two most popular systems of lining up the Kilted Kilts—System 1-^he Mc's and the Mac's come after the Mab's and the Mc's after the theoret- ical Mto's or, as actually occure, after the Mazy's.
Did Greybeards Write?
In view of the .fact that Miss Co-ed must hand in a complete and correct paper to her English instructor, you might naturally assume that she would rejoice in reading about saints in the encyclopedia. But such is not the case, and sadly do we report that the name of even good St. Chrysostom is enough to give her a rigor. Her ills however, are palliated if she deter- mines whether the saints are listed under Saint or whether they are known familiarly by their first names.

Jiohn I and II (kings of France); John III (king of Poland); and John, Augus- tus, who leads the Small Fry.
Under the alias of Gertrude Stein, we continue with our elucidations through explanation and introduce Miss Co-ed to the People, Places and Things system, Lesson: People may come before Places, and Place may come beflore peoples, but the end is always in all Things. A look in the book will tell you: Washington, George, Washington, D. C, or Wash- ington, D. C, Washington, George but always Washington, Washington, then Washington Arch.

Step Two Is Easy
We now come to Step Two. By giv- ing this her full attention the Fresh- man may cure herself of the phreno- phlegia to which she is occasionally subject. Her mental powers fail and she swats the air as at gnats when she finds a long-sought-for article under some strange, undreamed-of title. She will never abide any sug- gestion that she use indexes, main- taining that they surrender their secrets only when you have an index to the Index, a slide rule and t h e Rosetta stone.

Five Fraternities Entertain
At Rushing Parties For Men
Fraternity rushing season was formally opened last Friday night, when five houses on the campus entertained different groups of under- classmen eligible for pledging. The houses, which entertained, were Kappa Nu, Delta Sigma Phi, Kappa Psi Upsilon, Theta Kappa Nu and Klan Alpine. All parties proved big successes.
DELTA SIGMA PHI
Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity enter- tained 21 underclassmen at a rush smoker in the Alpha Zeta Chapter home, across from the gymnasium on Main Street, Friday night. The party was in cooperation with the program of The Inter-fraternity Coun- cil.
During the early evening, several tables of bridge were in play. This was followed later by an address of welcomed by president Albin Ander- son, who introduced Brother Frank Lobaugh, coach of Freshman football.
Coach Lobaugh urged the men to take seriously the rushing program and to pick that house which they as indi- viduals best fitted into.
A few skits by Joe Sarandria and his two stooges, Ralph Tesnow and Cliff Harris, and several slight-of-hand tricks by Danny Minnick completed entertainment. Refreshments were served about 10:30 o'clock. Philip Adessa was general chairman of the party, assisted by Bernard Alexander and some 45 other chapter members.
Men entertained were Arnold Bo- dine, Malcolm Brundage, Roy Dunbar, Robert Erdlem Melrose Hall, James Hodnett, Robert Hughes, John Lynch, Homer Lester, Forrest Merriam, Ralph O'Brien, William Ryan, Walter Scott, Monte Schumacher, Kenneth Vance, Edward Wallace, Carl Weber, Eugene Keefe, Willis Armitage, Ro- bert Bleakly, Harold Drysdale.
KAPPA NU
Kappa Nu opened their rush season Friday night, when they entertained some 25 men at a smoker. Besides the various rushees, Kappa Nu had as their guests, Coach John Galloway, Coach James McLane, and Chaplain James McLeod.
The party started at 8 o'clock. A short period of introducing the new men, some bridge and then a period of speeches followed. Milton Gold- stone, chairman of the rush commit- tee, introduced Clifton Katz, presi- dent of Kappa Nu, who welcomed the men to Alfred University and to Kappa Nu. Then in order Coach Mc- Lane, Coach Galloway and Chaplain McLeod were introduced. They made short addresses.
One of the rushees, Henry Schneer, entertained with a few popular tap dances. Following this a delicious lunch was served with Rudolph Cohen acting, as head waiter. As the party broke up, each man was presented with cigarette lighter and ash tray to match, stamped with the Kappa Nu seal.
KAPPA PSI UPSILON Movies, bridge, and songs provided entertainment for 17 underclassmen at an informal get-to-gether last Fri- day night in the Kappa Psi Upsilon fraternity house. The possible fra- ternity men were welcomed by Wil- liam Butler, president of Kappa Psi Upsilon, and Thomas Carew, chair- man of the committee.
Alfred events for the past six years, including the Brick fire, the first St.
Patrick's Festival, together with character "shots" of faculty members, were shown by W. Varick Nevins, III, who is operator of Alfred Co-operative Pictures.
Underclassmen present were: Vin- cent Abel, Richard H. Borrows, Ed- ward Creagh, Martin J. Dykeman, Thomas Fisher, Douglas Hand, James Hoffman, Robert Hunt, Thomas Mc- Clellan, Gilbert Matteson, John Miller, Harold Myers, John Reid, Karl Swan- son, Vincent Tisi, Charles F. Galbo, and James E. Wilson.
THEAT KAPPA NU
Theta Nu played host to 25 promis- ing freshmen last Friday evening in the first big rush party of the season.
After being introduced all around, the guests played cards for some time.
A huge lollypop was presented to the winner of each table.
Gathering around the piano, played by William Lundrigan and Armand Houze, the men raised their voices in songs of Theta Nu and "The Man on the Flying Trapaze". Dan Kocker, prestidigitator of the red hair, com- pletely baffled his audience with his card and slight-of-hand tricks.
The hungry lads then filed through the kitchen acquiring snndwiches, cake and coffee made as only "Mother"
Martin can make it. After this wholesome repast, Charles Riley gave an interesting but brief talk on "Fra- ternity Facts" and the guests depart- ed, a happy but tired crew.
KLAN ALPINE
In accordance with the program of the Interfraternity Council, Klan Al- pine graternity held its first rushing party of the season last Friday eve- I niBg.
ITwelve under-class men were enter- tamed by the members tof the fratern- ity, among whom were Alvah Dorn, Allen Francisco, Ernest Hansen, El- mer Holmes., George Kapral, Charles Mesick, Frank Park, Samuel Repsher, Alfred Smith, Stanford 'Button, Ever- ett Thomson and Donald Vreden- burgh.
President Howard Olsen welcomed the freshmen. Several tables of cards were in play. Refreshments were served at 10:30 o'clock.
Alumni Orders Show Increase
With orders pouring in from alumni of Alfred University, as far back as 1914, Manager Edwin Brewster of the Circulation Department of The Fiat Lux, said as this issue of The Fiat Lux goes to press, "we expect the largest mailing list this year in the history of the paper".
Although only some four or five hundred complimentary copies were sent out last week, Brewster was greatly enthused over the proportion- ate numbers of orders received. An- other group of alumni will receive this week's issue. The entire list of all Alfred University's graduates has heen received from Dr. J. Wesley Miller of the Alumni Office.
Orders for the paper may tie made by clipping the order blank, contained in conjunction with this story. It should be mailed with money order, check or cash to Manager Brewster.
ENTERTAINS "AT HOME" BENEFIT Mrs. Raymond O. Hitchcock, wife of the University physician, enter- tained at an "At Home," Wednesday afternoon, in benefit of the Bethesda Hospital Auxiliary.

formal Party — Unique Decorations Create
College Atmosphere
The Freshman men of Bartlett Dormitory gave a dance last Satur- day night after the football game with Northeastern.
Mrs. Jennie Camp, acting in her usual position as hostess, greeted the guests. Taking advantage of the opportunity of their first dance, the freshmen attended in large numbers.
The various penants and banners around the walls lent a collegiate at- mosphere to the dormitory. The radio furnished the music for danc- ing. Refreshments were served dur- ing intermission.
The faculty guests were Chaplin and Mrs. James C. McLeod and Pro- fessor and Mrs. H. O. Burdick.
Ralph O'Brian was general chair- man of the dance. He was assisted by the heads of the various commit- tees; Jim Wilson, Nel Howell, Mr.
Sebastian.
PERSONALS
Rudolph Eller, '29, and William Moran, both of the Pittsburg Museum of Paleontology, spent the week-end at Klan Alpine fraternity.
James Coe, of the class of '31, of the Alfred University Extension Col- lege at Jamestown, was a week-end visitor in Alfred.
Van Ostrander, "33, of Olean, and Bud Dewey, '34, of Wellsville, attend- ed the Alfred-Northeastern game Sat- urday night.
Chaplain James C. McLeod was the supper guest of Howard Olsen at Klan Alpine, Sunday.
Over the week-end, Delta Sigma Phi fraternity was visited by several of its alumni. Among those who re- turned were Kenneth Nichols, Francis Danaher, Hot Robinson, "Soupy"
Campbell and George Bliss.
LANDSCAPE BRICK GROUNDS
One morning last week, the Brick girls awakened to aj sound of chopping.
It wasn't a freshman trying to imitate George Washington, it was a group af workmen digging up ground.
For, believe it or not, the Brick is now actually landscaped. The attrac- tive new dormitory is even more pic- turesque with the addition of the shrulbbery.
FROSH GRIDDERS PREPARE TO MEET ELMIRA HIGH
THERE SATURDAY Yearling Gridmen of Alfred Univer- sity will meet a strong Elmira High School football team Saturday after- noon in Elmira. Working under Coach Frank Lobaugh for the past two weeks, the freshman squad has shown great improvement and development, and this game is looked forward to by the entire student body.
That Elmira is plenty strong is evidenced in their already enviable record of wins this year. However, this should hold little fear for the yearlings, who also give reason for theorizing that they may rival the laurels .of the undefeated freshman team of a couple years ago.
The freshmen have four games c-n their schedule this year. The next one will toe away. Two are scheduled for home.
As Timid Ones Decline, Women Dine With Men;
Men Dine With Women
The Brick and Bartlett dormitories had their first exchange- night, re-;
cently. Thirty-five women went from the Brick to Bartlett and thirty-five Bartlett men went to dine at the Brick.
The numbers did not toll 35, how- ever, because there are those indi- viduals in the two dorms who are a bit timid. In spite of that, the ex- change was a success; at least a fresh-j man made a speech to that effect dur- ing the Brick dinner.. Following dinner, cards and dancing were en- joyed.

GRIDMEN TIE NORTHEASTERN-HARRIERS SWAMP HOBART
LIGHTER, SMALLER SAXONS BATTLE VISITORS 13-13
IN THRILL-PACKED GAME
Northeastern Scores Early In First—Saxons Tally In Second, and Third—Vicious Drive In Last Three Minutes Allows Bears To Deadlock Scorer-Hodges, ' Firestine and Boylan Outstanding—Fedor and Adessa
Star i ,,.,*, .:-: !M
By Stanley C. Orr
Two thousand spectators ignored the threats of rain and cold weather last Saturday night and came to Merrill field to see the Saxons of Alfred battle the Northeastern Bears to a 13-13 tie. The game was of singular interest to the crowd in the stands, since it was featured by many deception plays and desperate aerial attacks.
The Bears tallied tne initial touch- ~~
down when late in. the first quarter Pelletier ran 20 yards from pass for- mation across the goal line. Hart place kicked the conversion. The Saxons tied the score in the second period when Clark, standing on North- eastern's 40, passed thirty yards to Adessa, who crossed the two remain- ing white lines for a touchdown. Bes- ley hit the line with all the power his 185 pounds could command and con- verted the extra point.
Hodges, Firestine, Boylan Shine In the third quarter the men of Al- fred scored again when "Mud" Boy- lan cracked 15 yards through the line and across the last and most important ribbon. A plunge for the conversion
•was unsuccessful.
Repeated first downs by Hodges and Firestine again brought the Saxons
•within 5 yards of the visitors goal line but the Bears tightened and held ferociously gaining the ball on downs.
In the final period the lads from down east opened a desperate and deadly accurate passing attack and advanced to the Saxons 2 yard line. In this vulnerable position the Purple and Gold were unable to stave off the con- tinual rushes and Hart plunged over the goal. Hart's attempted place- ment for the conversion went wide of the goal and the score remained tied a t 13-13.
Fedor, Captain; Adessa Stars Andy Fedor, captain for the day, encouraged his tired and bruised team- mates on, as he himself played one of the best games of his career, despite a painful face injury that nearly closed his right eye. Adessa, too, stood out as end by catching the long pass from Clark, making the first touchdown and consistently throwing |the oppoisifng backs for heavy losses.
Firestine and Boylan were responsi- ble in a considerable -degree for the Saxon's advances for, while their gains were not so spectacular as those of Hodges, the fast shifty quarter- back, their hammering visibly weak- ened the opposition. Besley's leg
•was injured again and he was forced to leave the game after doing excep- tionally -well as fullback.
Oberhanick, Chamberlain, Young and Fargone made the visitors recog- nize the futility of bucking the line, for that quarter held like a stone wall at the most crucial times.

FROM THE SIDELINES
"Barney" Oldfield with his other mates will toe the mark against Cor- nell next week. We should all back this cross country team because it is bound to have a great season.
When we see the Frosh football team in practice, they appear to have a heavy team which will average about 180 lbs. Coach Lobaugh and SLin e Coach "Dick" Chamberlin have anoulded an outfit to take the field against Elmira High School, Saturday.
."Elmira took Hornell by the score of 19-0. Let's go, Frosh, and defeat the Elmiirians.
The Saxon yearlings stepped away
•with an easy win over the Hobart Frosh harriers on Saturday at Geneva.
We look to the green Alfred team for more good work.
We enjoyed the cheerleading sec- tion and band, which added color to the game Saturday night.
The pep rally staged Thursday night was a great success. We think that for each rally two men should be picked from each fraternity to carry on the meeting. In this way new ideas could be brought out.
| Many upsets occurred in inter-col-
(legiate football on Saturday. Rich- , mond defeated Cornel 6-0; Bates sub- dued Harvard 12-0; Texas won over Notre Dame 7-6; Michigan State swamped University of Michigan 16- 0; Purdue succumbed to Rice 14-0.
Glancing over future Alfred oppon- ents, Buffalo tied Hamilton 0-0; while St. Lawrence was taken by Colgate 32-0.
Allegheny Next Opponent
(Continued from page one) Coach Tippin has hopes of finding re- placements from his large group of material.
As Alfred is Allegheny's second opponent of this year's campaign, little is known. of their true strength under fire of competition. Saxon followers will be looking to the out- come of their game with Clarion Col- lege as an indication of what Alle- gheny will offer this coming Saturday.
Besides the rivalry of the two teams there will be a private battle between Blasdell of Allegheny and Perrone of Alfred. Both of these fellows hail from Johnsonburg, Pa.

HARRIERS MEET CORNELL NEXT
Cornell will be met next Saturday at Ithaca by Alfred University's har- riers. Coach Moakley of Cornell al- ways turns out a strong team and it promises to be a close race. Incident- ly, Cornell was the only team to de- feat Alfred's hill and dalers' last sea- son.
Victory, however, is anticipated for the Saxons this year. Oldfield un- doubtedly will be running. He with Java and Minnick, supported by Mul- lgan, Knapp and a couple of those promising sophomore runners should garner the winning points needed to bring home the bacon.
TRIM GENEVA HIGH RUNNERS BY
SCORE
Alfred University Freshman Cross Country team traveled to Geneva last Saturday and decisively administered a 19-41 defeat to Geneva High School.
This was the yearling's first meet of the season, and much is expected of them in the future, using this meet as a criterion.

Three Saxons Tie For Secoond Just 30 seconds later Dawson, Min- nick and Knapp crossed the line in a triple tie for second place. Bill Van- Campen finished fifth and ended the scorng for the day.
The first of Hobart's seven men to I finish was Captain Chasey, who fin-
ished seventh just a few seconds be- hind the time of Hodges. Directly fol- lowing were Jones, Forbes and Brooks, all Alfred men.
The men ran Course C, which is five miles in length. At the half-way mark, Alfred had the first six places and were still running strong. They finished in the same manner—running strong.
Captain Java Walks
At the end of the fourth mile Java was far ahead and he slowed down his pace to a walk. When Dawson came into sight, Java started running again.
Out of the nine Alfred entries, five are sophomores, -which indicates a much stronger team as the season progresses. The newcomers will gain both in experience and endurance.
Oldfield Still in Training
"Barney" Oldfield, winner of last year's Middle Atlantics, didn't com- pete as he started to train late. With Oldfield running as Java's mate, Al- fred should be hard to stop anywhere.
Coach McLeod is priming his men with little let-up lor the I. C. U. A.
meet, the national championship, and the Middle Atlantics the week after the national meet. Both of these meets will be held in New York, November 19 and 26, respectively.

I n the manufacture of Granger Rough Cut Pipe Tobacco the Wellman Process is used.
The Wellman Process is dif- ferent from any other process or method and we believe it gives more enjoyment to pipe smokers.
...it gives the tobacco an ex- tra flavor and aroma ... it makes the tobacco act
right in a pipe—burn slower and smoke cooler ... it makes the tobacco milder ... it leaves a clean dry ash
— no soggy residue or heel in the pipe bowl
