Dean Holmes Chairman Fedor Will Preside At Din-
ner of Visiting Ceramic Students Next Week In Buffalo Hotel
Plans went forth smoothly at the New York State College of Ceramics here this week for the convention of the American Ceramic Society at Buffalo, Feb. 17 to 23.

•with Mrs. Holmes at the reception given by President Keith McAffee of the American Ceramic Society.
Dean. Holmes was responsible for the selection of Buffalo as convention city and of Alfred as host. Efforts had been made to hold the convention in Boston and in New Orleans.
Other Alfred faculty members to deliver addresses include Miss Marion L. Fosdick, who will speak on ceramic tir-t; Dr. S. R. Scholes, who will dis- cuss technical aspects of glass pro- duction ; Prof. C. W. Merritt, who will talk on glazes and Prof. Charles Harder, who will discuss glazels- and ceramic art education in public schools.
Dr. Scholes is secretary of the Art Division.
It is estimated at the ceramic college that at least 40 upperclassmen will attend the convention. All will
•wear distinguishing ribbons in their capacity as hosts, the convention be- ing under the auspices of New York State and of the local college.
Andrew J. Fedor, president of the Alfred Chapter of the American Cer- amic Society, will speak on behalf of the students Monday evening at the Alfred alumni banquet, which will be attended Iby approximately 100 form- er students at the Alfred Ceramic Col- lege. Forrest Teft, son-on-law of Dr. W. W. Coon, Alfred dentist, will

Charles F. Binns, late director-emer- itus o£ the local ceramic school, will j be eulogized by Paul Cox, professor i of ceramic engineering at Iowa State University.
Dance Director
Miles Ensign
Dance Ensemble Well Received;
Novel Program
Miles Ensign and his group of six- teen dancers presented a concert of
Spanish, Indian, Oriental, Egyptian, classical and modern dances 'before a representative audience last night in Alumni Hall.
This group of dancers won praise for their thorough technique and their artistic interpretation of dance and music. Such ballets as "Scheheraz- ade," "Thunderbird," Rimsky-Korsak- offff's "Orientale" and the "Ritual Sac- rificial Dance" from Indian lore and
"Princess and Puppet" showed the' versatility, rhythm, and grace of the performers.
Ensign and his entourage have given their program several times in the Eastman Theater in Rochester.
Guy Fraser Harrison, conductor of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra has commented, "Miles Ensign's produc- tion of t!he ballet 'Scheherazade' was on an equal 'basis with the finest that has been done by the Russian Ballet."
Comments from student body, facul- ty and townspeople indicated appre- ciation and enjoyment of this unusual entertainment.

Dr. Watson's method involves the using of n-butonal, a solution which, deposits the natural beeswax in cer- tain crystalline and non-crystalline forms. The presence of carnauba wax is easily detected.

State To Build New Greenhouse
For "Ag" School
Erection of a new greenhouse for the Agricultural School at Alfred Uni- versity will begin within a few weeks, it was announced recently by Director A. E. Champlin. A sum of $6,000 has been appropriated by the New York State Legislature for this purpose.
The new structure will be erected by Lord and Burnham of Irvington, on the Hudson. The contract calls for the construction of a greenhouse and heating plant to be located at the rear of the Agricultural School build- ing on State Street.
The foundation of the building is to be constructed along with a work room by a Special Fund Establishing The total receipts taken in each

Fried Chicken
Expensive As " Ag"
Hen House Burns
Fried chicken and burned wood are left after fire swept through a poultry building of the State Agricultural School last week causing extensive damage. Before the fire com- pany arrived 300 breeding hens were done to a crisp, without the benefits of gravy, parsley, or dressing.
A loss of approximately
$3,000 is estimated by Director A. E. Champlin. It will prob- ably be a long time before the ruined structure can be re- placed. It was not completely destroyed. A small end portion where two "Ag'
1' school students had their living quarters was saved.
This leaves the school handi- capped by the loss of choice breeding stock. About 400 chickens are left. State legis- lature will have to provide for the reconstruction of the poul- try building before any plans can be made.

Commissiioner of Taxation and a mem- ber of the University Board of Trus- tees and in whose Ihonor Alfred Uni- versity's athletic field is named, was the "illustrious son" that the frater- nity today claimed as one of its me- bers.
Mr. Merrill was formally initiated at a ceremonial proceeding the formal dinner. It also had 'been planned at this time to initiate into membership Assemblyman Harry E. Goodrich of Richburg. Mr. Goodrich, however, was detained by legislature activities in Albany and could not 'be present.
The dinner, wihiich was held in the afternoon in the dining room of one of the College dormitories, was the climax to the anniversary celebration.
Saturday -many of the alumni had returned to renew old friendships in a rejuvenation of undergraduate mem- ories, while early Sunday morning the fraternity as a 'body attended services of the Union church, following a re- union breakfast.
Three national officers attended the observation. They were A. W. De- na- of [fendenfer of Washington, D. C,
tional secretary; Hugh J. Ryan Bradford, Pa., editor of the fraternity magazine, "The Carnation", and Em- est C. Thompson, district deputy.
These men, as were Dr. J. Nelson Norwood, president of Alfred Univer- sity, and Mr. Merrll were speakers at the dinner.
Mr. Defenderfer, who because

his natural association with affairs of the nation through residence in Washington, gave a [brief insight into these affaire, drawing a conclusion in parable to that whic'h Delta Sigma Phi fraternity and any fraternity should stand for. He also was high in his praise of Alfred University. He said in part:

A Challenge To The New World
One of the most promising signs of a return of economic sanity on this continent is the revival of interest in a reciprocal trade treaty between the United States and Canada. In both countries there is evidence of a reaction from, the extreme doctrines of economic nationalism which were expressed in the United States by the Hawley^Smoot tariff ,of 1930, and in Canada by the Bennett emergency tariff of the same year.
Self-sufficiency is at best a .mirage. But the illusion has been deceptive and glamorous enough to exert a profound influence on political behavior.
The tares and thistles1 which have cluttered the field of international trade during recent years are tracealble for the most part to the doctrines of economic nationalism which had 'been planted sedulously by the interested exponents of high protection and commercial isolation. It has needed a Ibitter and ^painful experience to convince us of our "Eolly. The time is at hand when some nations must court the risks of a bold experiment in lowering tariff barriers as a .means of recovery and an avenue to a more abundant and a ibetter-distributed prosperity for their inhabitants.
The continent of North America offers an ideal laboratory for such an experiment in trade policy. The political arguments which have supported the extreme variations of economic nationalism in Europe have no real application here. A century of peace and a veritable network of cultural and commercial relationships between our own countries give the assurance that economic transactions ibetween us need not be conducted with language appropriate to warfare.
The time has passed, moreover, when such political consideration as annexation can be introduced with any seriousness into the discussions.
The unfortunate interjection of this provocative issue during the Canadian elections which determined the fate csf the Reciprocity Agreement of 1911, was due to the failure of some American political leaders to realize the strength and sensitiveness oif developing nationhood whicn they above all others ought to have recognized and understood. But all this lies in the past and need not >be recalled except as a warning against the repetion of previous failures.

New Library Books Draw Interest
Bacon said in his essay "Of Studies"
that, "Reading maketh a full man."
If this statement is of value, equal possibility and opportunity for the broadening of every Alfred student in culture and background is avail- able by the new supply of current books lately received at the Alfred University library.
Again quoting Bacon from "Of Studies" we learn "Some books are to be toasted; others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digest- ed." Books of each of these types may be found in the recent shipment.
What is more pleasant than to select a new book and pass many happy hours with it in a favorite corner oblivious to all things except the romance and adventure therein contained? To best enjoy your read- ing follow Bacon's old but timely ad- vice, "Read not to contradict and con- fuse; nor to believe and take for granted; not to find talk and dis- course; but to weigh and consider."
r Travel with "Colonel Laurence" in- , to Arabia and live his life and daring exploits, as recorded by Basil Henry iLiddell Hart.
A new biography, "Nijinsky," will interest many as they read into the intimate story of the romantic life of the great Russian dancer written by the one who knows him best, his wife, Romola Nijinsky.
In a deeper view, written for scholars and thinkers, is "Technics and Civilization" by Lewis Munford giving a philosophic study of the de- velopment of the machine and its keenly felt influence on man.
Travel, biography, poetry, novels, short stories—these all may be found i among the new books. A splendid character study of a woman's early youth on the sea is contained in
"Mary Peters" by Mary Ellen Chase.
Other adventures in reading find
"One's Company" by Peter Fleming, i "Now in November" by Josephine

In "Bright Eyes" Shirley Temple, the gay little daughter of an aviator who "cracked up" wins a protector in crusty old Uncle Ned and brings about a happy ending for the troubled love affairs of her father's best friend.
Shirley Temple is just as you want her, and as you'll love her best. The shorts are: "Traveling the Road,"
Railroad songs; "Rowing Rhythm,"
interesting preparation of the college teams; a newsreel; and also "Irish Eweepstakes," a cartoon.
"Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch"
with Pauline Lord, W. C. Fields, Zasu j Pitts provides laughs, thrills for the audience. It's always open house at the Wigg's Shanty! Tears and laughter lie very close together in this homely, heart-warming household classic of thirty years ago, which secounts the struggles of the philo- sophic Mrs. Wiggs in her effort to provide for her poverty stricken brood. The shorts are: "Syncopated City," LeRoy -Dave in musical com- edy; "Good Badminton," this game played by experts; "Tom, Tom, the Piper's Son," a cartoon with Tom, Humpty, and others of the stories.

Memorials are usually the tribute of an appreciative people to a great man.
We had a great man at Alfred—a man who's work, ideals and presence inspired within the hearts of students and teachers, to do and build a greater Alfred.

Along with the model T Fords, have vanished titoe slow, thought- ful, cud-crunching gum chewers.
This fact was made clear by Ray Pape, '37, who fell short of the world's speed record in gum chewing by a matter of only a few bites when he challenged the unbeaten score of 123 chews per minute, recently.
In two successive time trials, Ray could reach a maximum speed of oonly 120 chews ;pper minute oon the straightaway. With suc- cess only a couple of mouthfuls away, the challenger paused to gulp hysterically—and lost the
contest.
The unknown sufoway-rider of New York, who propelled his jaws at the astounding 123-per-minute speed, is still undefeated. Rap Pape made Ms bid for honors while watching the Alfred-Buffalo 'basketball game here a few weeks ago. Bcub Bruns and Bert Lynn, who checked hia time, as- sert that had the ^basketball game reached a crucial point during the gum chewing marathon, Ray would have exceeded the present record by a comfortable margin.
the possibility, in any war, of saying conclusively that one side is in the right and the other in the wrong.
Such men as these, guided by consci- ence, cannot fight on either side."
Are there undergraduates who think war has its virtues as keeping man- kind up to the mark?
"I know of none."
All think war is ignominious, dis- graceful to Governments and peoples?
"Yes."
Would British undergraduates as a whole, be quick to take up arms in defense of their country, if it were attacked?
"I certainly have no doulbt they woud."
But would they oppose aggression on the part of their country?
"No British Government would wish, or dare, to dTea.m of aggression: it would spell suicide. The reason Brit- ish statesmen and all the British peoples are for the League of Nations in that they discern in it the hope of j ending aggression, and thus ending war."
If war came, would the young men favor conscription of capital as well as of men?
"They would favor, certainly, put- ting capital at the service of the State, and not at the service of human greed.
It is the view of thinking undergradu- ates that, in time of war, every na- tional resource should be at the dis- posal of the common need on equal terms. Probably the most horrible idea in the world is the idea of some people profiting 'by war."

Four terms of eleven weeks are given each year. These may be taken con- secutively (graduation in three years) or three terms may be taken each year
(graduation in four years). The en- trance requirements are intelligence, character and at least two years of college work, including the subjects specified for Grade A Medical Schools.
Catalogues and application forms may be obtained from the Dean.

And they talk about meddlesone women— the senate was all set for having the United States enter the World Court. Pres. Roosevelt had almost won another victory until a meddler in the person of Father Coughlin told his radio listeners over 27 stations that we must keep America for the Americans— you know, the well known platitudes which the radio listeners love.
He told them to telegraph their senators immediately advocating non- entry. They did and the wobbly senators, desirous of keeping their soft jobs, were swayed. Incidentally another anti "World Courter" is Huey Long.
Europe is going dictatorial in a big way. Poland too has a dictator now in the person of Pilsudsky.
Nazi Germany, in a desire to make their race a pure one, have decided to have "pedigree books" for each fam- ily. The individual's heritage is the important object.
About 3 months ago Adolf Hitler openly declared that he was about to appoint a vice chancellor—as yet he has not done so. Can it be that he does not know who is the most worthy of the "ministers" or doesn't he want to cause unnecessary ill feeling?
The French students rebelled last week, claiming that their lecture halls were taken up by foreign stu- dents. They held a demonstration and caused a riot of a sort. Tho principal subjects were the American students. A stop was put to this out- break by university authorities and police.
Feb. 6, which is known in Franca as "riot day", passed by peacefully.
Doumergue and Flandin took pre- caution however, and ordered out tha entire police force and half of tha army.
The Anglo-French disarmament and security proposals have been en- dorsed without reservations by Haly.
The European powers are waiting for Hitler to make a move, you see. This disarmament agreement will be sub- stituted for Article V of the Versailles pact. And though it is called a dis- armament .pact it will give to Germ- any the legal right to arm.
Russia is to have a secret and di- rect ballot. Slowly but surely the people are having a say in their government, more than we can say for other more civilized dictatorial governments of western Europe.
A Russian-American bieft delights the Germans. They call it the end of the Russia—U. S. honeymoon.
Steinheim Given Stamp Collection
Fragments of America's history are graphically depicted in a collection of United States stamps lent to the Stein- heim museum by Allen Francisco, a freshman. The specimens on exhibi- tion represent only a small portion of B'rancisco's entire collection. ^
Having been a hunter of rare and unusual stamps for over four years, Francisco is offering issues dating back as far as 1851, for public inspec- tion. He values the display at approx- imately ten dollars.
Most valuable of all the issues 'being shown at the Steinheim is a series of Washington Bi-centennial commemor-
atives cancelled at Mt. Vernon, Feb. 22, 1932, by the federal bi-centennial com- mission. This set ranges from tha half cent through the ten cent issue.
A separate grouping of these stamps with plate num'bers attached is in- cluded in the display. The value of the stamps witlh plate numbers is rapidly increasing due to their rarity.
Highlights in the rise oC the United States are shown in a comemorative series issued in 1893. Another set of stamps is the National Parks series of last year portraying many of Amer- ica's garden spots. Airmail stamps round out the collection.

Bonaventure College will address the Neuman Club at their regular meet- ing to be heir Wednesday evening, 7:30, in Kenyon Memorial Hall.
Father Vecchierello has chosen for his topic, "Some Things that Science Doesn't Know."

support at 60. He earns approximate- ly $45,000 between 14 and 60 and not
| more than $2,000 of this in the years he should have been in high school,"
he says.
"The high school graduate goes to work at 18, and passes the maximum of the untrained man within seiven years, rising steadily to his maximum of $2,200 at 40. He continues at that level the remainder of his active life.
His total earnings from 18 to 60 approximate $78,000, making the cash value of his high school education
$33,000 more than the untrained man.
"In the case of the college-trained man, he doesn't start permanent earn- ings until he is 22. Perhaps he earns some money while he is attending col- lege. By the time he is 28, his in- come equals that of the high school graduate at 40, and it continues to rise without a break.
"The great difference," he said, "is that the college-trained man's income is dependent upon his mental ability, and training constantly improves it by practice. The average income of
$6,000 a year at 60 is often surpassed.
With an average of $150,000 total in- come between 22 and 60, the, college education is worth $72,000 more than just a high school education."

He likened a fraternity to a busi- ness, and even in ,some instances, as cornparafble to the government, de- claring that, "certainly fraternities have 'been criticized time and again;

District Deputy Thompson was high in his praise of the fraternity for the commendable work it has' shown in its 15 years on the campus, but he also gave advice1 that in itself was not only valuable to the under- graduate men as actives of the fra- ternity, but also to the alumni, who now are men of the world.

where to?
These men, my friends, are
"knights of the road"—"bums" to you. They are from your home town and mine. As to where they are going they don't know and don't give a damn. They are riding freights be- cause they haven't even enough money to pay for the air in a bicycle tire.
They are penniless 'because the biblical shower of manna doesn't seem to be able to occur in the twentieth century.

One more question: What was the meaning of that Oxford Union vote
is to be- found in the progress of the advertising industry. The increase in 1934, in advertising space used and the increase in the number of firms who are re-estabishing their advertis- ing schedules reflect revived business activity.
