JUNIOR ANNUAL PROGRESSES AT

Although little lias been said concerning this year's Kanakadea, Lewis K. Beyea, Editor-in-Chief, reports that the annual all ready is nearing its final stagey. While none of the sections a r e completed as yet, the book awaits the group photographer in order that t h e different parts of the book can

be arranged.

Mr. Beyea announced that during the week of December 8th, the photographer would arrive from the Ar- thurs Studios in New York City for the customary group sittings. At the same time those Seniors who have failed to arrange for their sittings

•will, be given their last opportunity to have new individual photographs appear in the book. He also announced t h a t a time schedule would be posted

also reported that the early stages of the business side of the annual have been a financial success thus far. Contracts for the paper, cover, printing and photography are signed and all that remains deals with circulation. He also showed that the advertising department is rapidly get- ting under way and that during the past two weeks Frank Valenti, Ad- vertising Manager, and his staff have t e e n showing speedy results. Further financial backing of the year book will be stressed during the Junior Fc!!;es and the Junior Prom. The pro- ceeds of these functions are deposited in the Junior Class treasury and are used whenever necessary in defray- ing the expenses of the book. Fur- t h e r information revealed that the Kanakadea resorted to the sale of football programs for the first time I this year with highly gratifying re- j suits.

in an effort to have the work at the hands of the printers by February 1st.

Tuesday evening the Ceramic So- ciety met in Alumni Hall to see the moving picture on the manufacturing of fireclay refractories. The picture covered not only the manufacturing of the refractories, but also the applica- tion of these refractories in industry.

'Pile picture was loaned to the so- ciety by the United States Bureau of Mines, Department of Commerce. The film was produced through the cur- tesy of Laclede Christy Products Company.

From the mine, either surface or sub-surface, the fire clay is dumped in huge piles. There it is allowed to weather for about three years. After the weathering the clay is ground, screened pugged, and pressed. The green brick may be formed by the dry press, stiff mud, or repress meth- od. Special shapes are made by hand.

The bricks and ths special shapes are fired in continous tunnel kilns, after being dried in dryers which are heated from waste heat from the tun-

Since the initial week of the school year, Alfred's closed season has been in progress and within the next few days it is scheduled to draw to a close.

At that point the actual rushing season will be in order with each fraternity entertaining its prospective pledges with rushing parties which take place from Monday, December 8, until Thursday, December 11. During that time each fraternity will be given its last opportunity to exploit its mer- its and to acquaint the Frosh with its respective members.

The long-awaited bids will be issued at 8:00 A. M. on Friday, December 12. Each fraternity and Freshman then will undergo the so-called "sil- ent period" when neither party may be approached upon any matter which pertains to bidding. This period will last until high noon on Monday, De- cember 15, although bids may be re-

Miss Allen reported to the Staff in 1927, and earned a well deserved promotion from a competitor to a reporter's rank in 1928. In the spring of 1929, she received a unanimous election to an associate editorship in charge of the feature department of the paper. A short time later Miss Allen was transferred to the general news department, where she has been assigned up to the present time. Miss Allen's resignation was accepted with the deepest regrets of the Staff.

OPPORTUNITY OFFERED WOULD-BE PUBLIC SPEAKERS IN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

WITH PROF. IRWIN CONROE IN CHARGE

The Y. M. C. A. Educational Com- mittee of Hornell presents an opportunity for all men and women, to become better equipped to emulate the speaker who has the ability to speak convincingly both in private and in public, which can become a distinct commercial and social asset.

The local Y. M. C. A. has con- ducted these public speaking classes most successfully during the past two years. Several of Hornell's leading concerns including the New York Central Electric Corp., and Hornell Gas Light Co., have considered these classes of great value from the stand- point of equipping their employes to hetter represent them, and have made it possible to have a number of their employes take the course.

Not only are the two text books of value for study, but are a distinct asset to one's personal library. Prof.

Conroe devotes a great deal of time

to the personal problems of his stu- ' dents, carefully following them where I they need help most. These courses develop courage and self-confidence, increase poise and self-possession.

They train one to think on his feet and help in expressing thoughts clearly, any time and anywhere. For the sales- man or saleswoman, professional or ' business man, leaders in civic, fra- I ternal or patriotic organizations, it J helps sell goods, services and person- ality and enables one to write better sales letters. There is an enlarge- ment of the student's vocabulary, giv- ing a better command of the English I language, corrects errors in grammar and pronunciation, improves the quality of the voice; strengthens the mem- ory; develops powers of concentration, broadens the interests, makes a more entertaining conversation, increases one's prestige, brightens a reputation and doubles an influence.

Founder's Day

The 94th Anniversary Founder's Day excercise will occur on Thursday, December 4th, instead of on Friday, December 5th, in connection with the regular Thursday Assembly period at 11:30 o'clock. The Founder's Day Address will be given by President Paul Emerson Titsworth, LL. D., of Washington College, Chester- town, Maryland. His topic will be "What is a College For?" The public is invited to share with the college the privilege of this program and the address of Alfred's former Dean.

Fraternity?

Within the next two weeks Alfred's Campus will see; a long and tedious rushing season come to a close. The college will view its fraternities at their best in a desperate termination of the longest pledging campaign of any college in Western New York.

Freshmen will be hurried from one house to another; timid souls will be swelled by the hearty back-slapping of husky figures of Var- sity "A" repute; first impressions will be lost and, as is usually the case, some yearling will join a unit to which he should never belong.

The Freshman mind will in a fortnight be reduced to a maze before a concentrated rush of Fraternity.

This 1930 season is not one, iota dissimilar to those of the past.

It is with this belief that we contend that the same generalities apply to the present as well as they have in former years. We present a number of unbiased considerations for the Freshman by which he may judge as best he can during tin? next few days.

What is the expense and can 1 afford it?

Will this group or that one retain its apparent cordiality after I accept my pin? If not, then to what extent will it be reduced?

How well do I know these men?

Are they a "type" and if so, are they my "type"?

Should I follow my classmates or join the house that I like the best?

Am I judging the surface or looking ahead?

Am I being bluffed or are they telling me the "straight goods"?

In short, which Fraternity shall I join?

Pork Au Gratin

Run a fresh ground through the victrola, and soak the remains in vitriol for three hours. Remove to oven and bake to hot sweat. Rub down with Turkish towels, and garnish with toilet water. Serve in garbage cans.

New Baked Beans

Carefully scour each bean with a fresh can of Ox-blood polish, rub in some carbolized salve, and set aside for oxidation. At the end of tweuty- four hours pray beans out of pot, and shoot out of Daisy air rifles. Gather up the light, fluffy, nutritious flakes, and serve on rhubarb leaves.

Scorned Beef and Scabbage Granulate one dozen frog legs, pre- ferably bow-legged, and massage with Menne's Talcum Powder until soft and pliable. Throw into bath tub and add two cupfuls of coal dust, stirring constantly. When all is well mixed, place in refrigerator to set. Serve

•with pick and shovel.

French Salad

Chop up two quarts of fresh toad-

stools, and add a pint of choke cher- ries. Serve with live shrimp in a pale blue dish. Garnish with smelling salts for guests' convenience.

Corn on the Cob

Each ear must be prepared separate- ly. Soak in cement for two hours, and then paint well with Le Page's glue.

Lay aside in cupboard for three weeks and serve with crow bars. Guests will derive much pleasure trying to dislodge the kernals. Cobs may after- ward be sold to thugs for billies.

Siberian Souse

Mix well two quarts of lemon skins, a pint of sour milk, one dill pickle, two egg shells, and a pound of fresh chopped turnips. Smother with pressed spinach, and serve in rusty clam shells. Lay low for two weeks.

the 33rd handicap of two weeks. This early seasoning-

showed its effects later in the season when the team went through a sched- ule, matching strides with fifteen teams, losing only to a strong Cornell squad and a fighting Army team.

The Alfred harriers opened the sea- son with a run against Geneva Col- lege on the local course. The team had little trouble in overcoming the Pennsylvania runners and took the meet handily by a 17-38 score, thus keeping their record of no defeats on the home course intact.

The following week the Saxon team invaded Ithaca, where the strong Cor- nell squad took the Purple into camp by a 22-33 score. There is no doubt that the Alfred team could have done better against this team, but it was a little early in the season for the local hill-and-dalers to have reached their best form.

Four days later the Purple and Gold harriers again tasted defeat, but this time victory was within their grasp, losing out to Army by one point, the final tally standing 27-28 in favor of the Cadets. At the half-way mark it appeared that Alfred had the meet won, but the West Point team closed with a rush; the first ten men (five from each team) all finishing within a minute.

On the same trip, two days after the Army meet, the Alfred team hit its top form and convincingly trounced St. Stephens and Williams in a tri- angular meet. Alfred rolled up a per- fect score while St. Stephens was second with 49 points and Williams third with 56. To top off the exhibi- tion, Hughes broke the course record by about two minutes while the other Alfred men also followed suit and bettered the standing record.

At Colgate, the Saxons almost re- peated the orgy of the week before.

Hughes led the pack home to better the record by a minute and four sec- onds, while Razey and Vance also broke the record by about four sec- onds. The Colgate team thus tasted its first defeat of the season by a 20-35 score.

For the seventh successive time, Alfred retained the championship of the Little Ten Conference, which meet was run at Rochester. Here the Alfred men placed in second, third, fourth, sixth and seventh positions for the low total of 21, while Hamilton was runner-up with 43 points, and Hobart and Rochester trailed with 71 and 74 points respectively.

As a fitting climax to a successful season, the Saxon team copped the Middle Atlantics cross country title

Although Vance was the ninth man to cross the finish line, he was the second man in consideration of elapsed J time over the five mile course. The j 17 runners were given handicaps of from one to four minutes while Vance and Ives Gehring of Syracuse Uni- versity started from scratch with no handicap advantage at all. Gehring who turned in the fastest time for the event, placed fifth.

The course which was covered in comparatively slow time offered treacherous footing in the inclement weather. The city streets were hard and icy while the fields were soggy in parts and slippery as well.
