Capt. Chauncey Young

Colgate Downs Alfred In Season's Closer

Alfred "University's basketball team, one of the best in recent years, closed an eventful season at Hamilton, Thurs- day night, against the Colgate Uni- versity cagers and for over a half, spread confusion in the ranks of the big Red Raiders.

Although Alfred went down to defeat by a score of 34 to 23, the game provided an occasion for Captain Chan Young, Minnick and Edelson of Al- fred to turn in shining performances that for a time bid fair to hold the powerful Colgate outfit in check.

Colgate opened up the scoring with seven points before Alfred registered.

The visitors closed up the gap slowly, however, and at half-time, the count was tied 13-13. Minnick led this barrage to bring the Saxons back into the thick of the battle.

The game continued on even terms through most of the second half, the score being tied twice, once with fifteen minutes remaining to play, when it stood at 17-17, and again with ten minutes remaining, when the ledgers read 20-20. Contributing to Alfred's strength, Edelson af center, took the tap from two Colgate pivots.

With about ten minutes to play, however, Cook, a sophomore, took the pivot position for Colgate. From then on it was a toss-up between the two centers for the tip. In the last ten minutes, Colgate opened up with an offensive spurt that left Alfred 'behind.

Minnick of Alfred scored 10 points to turn in the best game of his collegiate 'basketball career of the present season. Captain Chan Young, op- posed by perhaps the toughest and closet guarding man on Colgate's team, played a stellar floor game. It was Young's last game under the Saxon colors. He will be graduated in June.

Novel Publicizing Idea For St. Pat's Festival

A new method of publicizing the St.

Patrick Festival and wholly dependant upon the cooperation of the student body has been worked out by the publicity committee of the event, it was learned today from Bud Dewey.

Invitations and letters have been printed. They are of more or less a personal nature and will be inserted in envelopes. At Thursday's assembly these letters will be distributed to students—to those students who request them upon passing from the assembly hall at the conclusion of assembly.

Students are urged to send them to friends, who it is thought would care to attend the entire two-day program or certain phases of the fesival, such as the formal ball. In this man- ner, it is thought that a select crowd will be achieved, thus maintaining the social side of the festival, as one without the essence of general public functions.

Each student may have as many invitations for as many friends as he wishes to invite, it was said. The accompanying letter is for the purpose of explanation as to just what the festival includes and represents. This letter also will include financial explanation. Similar letters already have been sent to alumni throughout the United States and to high school principals in surrounding high schools, inviting high school student bodies to the open house. -*•'

KUENN ROUNDS OUT FESTIVE PLANS

With the blanket ticket sale pro- gressing at a better rate than antici- pated and with minute details rapidly taking shape into the program, Chair- man Whitney Kuenn today expressed considerable enthusiasm for the success of the second annual St. Patrick Festival on Wednesday and Thurs- day, March 14th and 15th.

"So far we have met with a great deal of cooperation from both students and faculty," he said. "The full es- sance of this was shown in the meeting the other night of the executive board. Because of it, we have every assurance that the event this year will surpass by far last year's."

Mickey Kay and his broadcasting band of 12 pieces has been secured to furnish the music for the formal ball on Thursday nisfit. This orchestra, which features* a soft, melodic rythmn similar to that of Guy Lom- bardo and Wayne King, will be mak- ing a tour of Eastern States at the time they play in Alfred. Two enter-

Taking three fall victories in the heavy weight and two time decisions in the medium classes, St. Lawrence wrestling team defeated Alfred Uni- versity's grapplers 21-13, Saturday night. Gault of the Larries, injured Friday night in the Larries' victory over Rochester Mechanics, defaulted in the 126 division.

Except for the forfeit victory, the Saxons won but two bouts. Evans in the batem class scored a time win of almost seven minutes over Frun- nell, while Captain Lou Greenstein in the most spectacular bout of the program tossed Noster of the Larries for la fall triumph in an overtime period.

The St Patrick parade on March 14th, is expected to be the biggest of its kind in Alfred. Chairman Cibella says he is reading up on traffic theory so that he can run the parade off suc- cessfully. The chairman has fear that there will be a solid line from the Ceramic College to the destination of Sa. Pat; so if any of you want to be sure of seeing St. Pat, make your float reservation with "Rosie" Cobella sometime before Friday.

The plague in Ellis' window will be given to the organization having the best float in the parade.

Rules of Contest

The Freshmen courtmen of Alfred University concluded the most succes- ful season in the annals of Saxon freshman basketball history with a brilliant 43-21 victory over Shingle- house High School in the Pennsyl- vania city last Saturday night.

With the triumph, the freshman ad- ded their fourteenth consecutive victim to a no-defeat record, the first ever established by any freshman outfit in Alfred's history. The schedule was one of the longest and hardest ever compiled for any Alfred year- ling outfit.

In all of the 13 previous games with other opponents, Alfred always was first to break the scoring ice. In the Shinglehouse game, however, a personal foul called on an Alfred man hardly before the whistle had blown, netted them the initial point to open the scoring ledgers.

Shortly after the foul, Alfred netted a field goal with Shinglehouse coming back to register on another foul. Then the Saxons opened high, wide and handsome to hold the Pennsylvania lads scoreless for the rest of the quarter, while Alfred increased its lead to 10 points.

In the second quarter, Alfred continued its offensive and raised the count to 18, while Shinglehouse re- sorted to two long Steves to bring its score up to eight. Shinglehouse in the third period made a vain attempt to comeback, twice getting through Alfred's defense to score on cut-ins and chalking up two more points on free throws.

Alfred, however, except for the two times that Shinglehouse broke through to score, bottled up any further offensive spurts, while on the other hand the yearlings went after their share of the points, to soon darken any hopes that the Pennsylvania combine had on coming back. At the end of the third period the count stood 20-14.

In the last period, Coach James Mc- Lane substituted at will. The freshmen entering the game continued Al- fred's offensive barrage, and although the Shinglehouse mentor tried to off- set Alfred's substitutions by substitut- ing some fresh Shinglehouse cagers, it was to no avail. The last quarter was a virtual massacre with the Al- fredians chalking up 15 points to Shinglehouse's 7.

Individuality of Thought

Disregarding the rather academic argument maintaining that individualism in any form is not to b« desired, the method of pro- cedure in establishing an individuality of conceptions is not unlike the rather ingenious arrangement of Peter Abelard in his "Sic Et Non" of the Middle Ages.

We must not necessarily disregard contemporary philosophical ideas; rather, the fundamental requisite for creating a distinctive and relatively independent system of thought is to weigh mentally the predominately conflicting ideals, and to discard all patterns not indicative of our own mood and conclusions.

The fact that a well-known student of philosophy asserts an opposing dogma, should not be sufficient to influence our own ideas, xmless we actually feel that we are convinced, not by the voice of authority, but by our personal harmonious emotions.

Our own interpretations of specific ideas have a value for their originality—if for nothing else. This unhampered system of thought by a logical elimination of facts has a subjective value, for the in- dividual must surely benefit by these natural mental processes.

A somewhat pertinent classification of related facts and prin- ciples, attained by a reduction of essential conceptions is probably the surest method of developing an individuality of thought.

y Is Alfred To Be The Musical Comedy College—Again?

"Robust, Rugged, Two Hundred Pound Tackle Is Voted Campus Queen!" Thus would our old friend Paul Gallico take huge delight in publicizing Alfred. If the reports are correct, the gentleman was elected. Thus would the moronic intelligence of nearly two hundred Alfred students seek to send the most talked about, unique and in- teresting social festival of the year into oblivion. To make a farce of so fine an activity of our campus is regretable. Who's to blame?

No, not the ones who initiated the idea, but those who followell such leadership. Sure, our first reaction was to laugh, but not for long.

The spirit of fair play was conspicuously absent from this action.

There were several fine girls worthy of the honor, but their votes were buried under this avalance of thoughtlessness. These same college students would scornfully criticize a New York City which re-elected a crooked politician; would make cruel criticisms of our Senate and House for their lack of integrity in dealing with issues.

But, college is supposed to make more intelligent citizens; is sup- posed to teach the value of the ballot. If the vote in Assembly last Thursday is a criterion of what we expect from these future citizens one hates to attempt to envision the communities where these students will make their habitat. s

OPINION

Dear Editor: —

Because I'm just an old City Slick- er it gives me untold pleasure to see a cow complacently chewing her cud, because I realize that here is one of nature's creatures so blessed with lack of brains that absolutely nothing in the wide world matters other than to completely masticate her mouthful;

no cares, no worries, no anything.

Such a blessing for the cute little cow.

Such a blessing for the cute little cow, but what a pity in a human being. And it doesn't give me even the slightest bit of pleasure to see distributed about the campus a number of human cows, insofar as their

complacent chewing of their gum so

; reminds me of cows that immediately

! that poor human cow is reiegatar to the ranks of the other brainless ones.

No caves, no worries, no thoughts.

no brains, no anything.

Please, you dear little cows, won't you chew your cuds in private so that I. who was reared among mid-victoriau traditions, will not have my delicate sense of conduct violated?

Yours truly, The Editor

KASPAR MYRVAAGNES By Thelma M. Bates

On the rugged Norwegian coast, I home of the ancient Vikings, stands

! the metropolis, Aailesund, a well- known fishing center. It has all the I romance, the scenic beauty of the j Viking strand of thousands of years j ago.

It was in Aalesuud that Kaspar Myrvaagnes was born and spent his youth. His father was handy at everything. However, during the war his parent died and the younger Myrva- i agnes started to work at the age of

| eleven. Although he never partici- I pated in fishing professionally, he tried j his hand at almost every other type

of work open to such a young hoy.

At seventeen, he decided to attempt school once more. Upon receiving a fellowship hen entered rboarding school. The Gymnasium, as it is called, offers a six year course, consisting of three sections or lines of work.

The first line is required of all students, but they are allowed to make their choice between the last two lines. According to the studies they wish to pursue.

In 1927, Mr. Myrvaagnes graduated

! from the Gymnasium, and, as his j scholastic standing rated him another j fellowship, he entered the University

! of Oslo. The program of that Uni- versity differs widely from that of the American institution. The students came for vocational training, entirely.

Thsjy were under no direct supervision of the university and pursued their studies by themselves without attending regular classes. When a professor announced a lecture, it was open to any who wished to attend, whether they were enrolled in the university or not. Each student took two majors and a minor and the usual time required for it was six and a half years. However, there was no time limit and one could cover his course in as short or long a time as he found necessary. When the student felt sufficiently prepared he appeared before his professor at the end of the semester, to take his final Exam.

The examinations were conducted very impersonally. Ti'ie student was given a number which he wrote on a sheet of paper along with his name and the first and last two lines which appeared on his exam paper. Only the number was written on the exam paper.

The first day he took a twelve hour exam which was an essay question.

A six 'hour exam of the commentating type, followed the next day. A pass- age to be translated was presented on the third day.

One can well imagine Mr. Myrva- agnes' surprise when he enrolled in an American college. In 1929, he received a fellowship and came to this country to attend Bowdoin College.

During that year he met his present wife.

Professor Myrvaagnes spent the next winter and following summer in Cornell. He did some teaching and in the summer of 1931, received his masters degree from that University.

Professor Myrvaagnes taught Ger- man and Norwegian in Columbia, Uni- versity from 1931-1933, at the same time he pursued his studies for his Ph. D., and obtained the i equired residence points.

Professor Myrvaagnes was married in 1932.

It was only this autumn that Pro- fessor Myrvaagnes became associated with the Alfred faculty. However, he has already won a host of friends among faculty members and student?

alike.

The American Tobacco Company's broadcasting of the Metropolitan Opera Company's production is by far the highest type of advertising on the air. Believing that many of our read- ers share our opinion we print the following resume of the opera to be presented next, so that even the un- acquainted may follow to the best ad vantage:

Resume of "Salome" (pronounced Sal-o-may'), German grand opera by Richard Strauss in one act. First production, Dresden, 1905.

Salome, beautiful step daughter of King Herod, attracted by the ivory- tinted skin and glorious hair of Yoch- anaan (John the Baptist) who has been thrown into a cistern, orders him brought before her. A young- Syrian commander, Narroboth, is mad- ly in love with Salome, and against Herod's orders, obey's her command.

Learning of her affection for the prophet, he slays himself before her eyes. Salome ignores the latter's deed so delighted is she with the thought of kissing the lips of the holy man. When Yochanaan repulses her and upbraids her for her sinful ways, she, mad with passion, sends him back to the cistern and extracts from Herod, who wishes to see her dance, an unconditional promise of reward.

Scantily clad she performs for the king and summarily request the head of the prophe. Herod, hesitates to grant her wish for fear the people might be incited to revolt, and offers instead, half his kingdom and vast treasures, but she remains obdurant. Angrily, prophet. Herod, hesitates to grant her tioner descends into the cistern and throws out the bloody head. The king, when he sees the dancer triumphantly hold it and kiss the pallid lips, is overcome with disgust and orders her to be slain and the infuriated soldiers crush her with their shields.

Waldo A. Titsworth

WALDO A. TITSWORTH By Ann Scholes

LATIN CLUB GIVES MOVIE PROGRAM

Movies depicting the life and customs of ancient Italy and Athens were presented Wednesday evening at Ken- yon Hall under the auspices of the Latin Club.

The pictures showed views of the various famous buildings and ruins of these ancient civilizations. Queer customs and habits of the native j people were especially emphasized.

They proved to be not only education- al but intensely interesting.

Due to some mysterious trouble with the machine the entire reel on Athens could not be given.

To be strictly in keeping, an inter- view with the registrar should be an orderly record of facts and data. But an official record would be too imper- sonal and lacking in human interest to be a satisfactory story of Professor Titsworth's career.

Until he was twenty-one, he lived in New Jersey near Rutgers Univer- sity, where his father was professor of mathematics. He began college work at Alfred, but after his freshman year he entered Rutgers, from which he was graduated with the degree of bachelor of arts. Later, he did work at the University of Wis- consin for his master of science degree.

His first teaching experience was at Alfred Academy. He taught num- erous and various subjects, but his primary interest was in mathematics.

At the same time.e he was earning- the degree of master of arts at Al- fred University.-

For two years, he taught mathematics, physics, and chemistry in Des Moines College, Iowa. He also straightened out the college records and, in doing so, became interested in a registrar's work. He feels that the people in the mid-west have a more truly democratic spirit than the people in the East. He liked that section of the country and the people very well.

Professor Titsworth returned to Al- fred in 1912, and has been a member of Alfred's faculty ever since. Presi- dent Norwood is the only faculty member who has been here longer.

At first, Professor Titsworth taught physics and chemistry. Then he went into the department of mathematics.

In 1913, he became Assistant Regis- trar. In 1915, Dean Kenyon, who had been both (lean and registrar, retired, and he was made the registrar of the university.

It is an interesting fact that during j a trip abroad, Registrar Titsworth

saw seven of the world's capitols before, he had seen the oapitol of the United States. During the war, however, his opportunity came to see Washington. D. C. With twelve other professors from Eastern Colleges, he went to Washington to do special work in the War Risk Bureau. He con- siders this work to be the most interesting he ever did. While he was at the capitol, he and the other professors were photographed for a news-

| reel with the Secretary of the Treas- ury. To his great disappointment, he never saw the picture although he heard of its release and went to the movies for two months hoping to se&

it.

In 1912, Professor Titsworth's home- made wireless radio receiving set wa?;

the first one in Alfred. He is still interested in radio, but he feels that he is far behind modern knowledge of it. He prefers the more active pastime of fishing.

Professor Titsworth is a member of jtwo national fraternities, Delta Kapp:i Epsilon and Phi Beta Kappa, an hon- orary scholastic fraternity.

CERAMIC NOTES

The regular meeting of the Local Branch of the American Ceramic So- ciety was held on the evening of Feb- ruary 28th. There was a splendid at- j tendance as well as a highly interest- j ing program of speeches given by i Whitney Kuenn, Vincent Wessels and I Joseph Richmond on the Cincinnati Convention of the American Ceramic I Society. Mr. Kuenn spoke on the • social aspect of the convention; Mr. j Wessels reported on the technical j papers presented before the Refrac- tories Section and Mr. Richmond gave a report of the papers presented before the Enamels Division.

Mr. Kuenn announced that the Presi- dent-Elect, William Kieth McAfee, will address the Student Branch on March 27th. Mr. Kuenn met Mr. Me- [Afec at the Student Reception and i took advantage of the opportunity to establish cordial relations with the President-Elect. It is hoped that Mr.

McAfee will establish as much enthusiasm here as the former Presi- dent of the Society. Prof. Aniberg and Dean Holmes also gave short : talks.

The last part or the program of the meeting was devoted to the discussion of plans • for the St. Pat's j celebration. Mr. Cibella reported the 'progress made on the Parade; Mr.

Gregory reported on the Tea Dance;

Mr. Dewey on the Advertising; Mr.

| Morris on the St. Pat's Play and Movie and Mr. Wessels on the sale of tickets. .Splendid response on the part of the Society was very evident.

George K. Larson has been appointed house manager at the club.

A committee composed of Mrs. War- j ren P. Cortelyou, Oliver Young, and Howard Gould, has been appointed to revise the constitution.

There will be a theory class meeting, Thursday evening at eight in the new Ceramic building.
