NOTED PIANIST GIVES MUSICAL RECITAL

AT ALUMNI HALL

Marguerite Volavy, noted Bohemian j pianist, will make a personal appear-j ance at Alfred University, tonight, to give a recital in Alumni Hall at 8:15 o'clock. The University Ceramic Guild is sponsoring the recital.

Miss Volavy is the former protege of Anton Door, regarded by many mu- sicians as one of the few masters.

She was born in Bruenn, Moravia, and at an early age was described as a prodigy of the piano. When 16 years j old she carried off first prize at the Vienna conservatory. Later studies were made under the tutelage of Eduard Schuett and Theodor Lesche- tizky.

After her debut in Vienna Miss Vola- vy toured in concerts through Austria, Italy, France, Germany and Russia.

By special command she has played j before the late Queen Mary of Han-j over, the late Queen Carmen Sylvia j of Roumania, the Grand Duchess of Mecklenbourg-Strelitz, the Duke of Cumberland and the Grand Duke of Michaelowitsch of Russia.

On the advice of Anatol Tchaikow- sky, brother to the great Russian com- poser, Marguerite Volavy was engaged as soloist by Wasilij Safonoff for the Imperial Russian Symphony Society and with Safonoff and his orchestra won great triumph in Russian cities, especially St. Petersburg.

Miss Volavy made a brief tour of the south with her celebrated coun- tryman, Kocian, but her first New- York appearance was made as soloist with the Russian Symphony Orchestra, under Modest Altschuler, when she played a piano concerto by Serge Bortkiewicz never before heard in this country. On this occasion she created such a furore that she was engaged to appear again with the Rus- sian Symphony Society playing the piano part in Scriabine's fire poem.

The program is as follows:

Chime Clock Presented To Pres. and Mrs. Davis

The faculty and administrative staff of Alfred University entertained in honor of President and Mrs. Boothe C. Davis on the eve of their retire- ment from the executive role, but not from the hearts and memories of Al- fredians. The entertainment took the form of a banquet at the Social Hall last Monday evening; and the event came as a complete surprise to the guests of honor. Dean Dora K. Degen had invited President and Mrs. Davis to have dinner at her home that evening; during the course of a brief ride before the dinner, they found themselves at the Social Hall and sur- rounded by members of the staff.

It is estimated that a hundred and thirteen persons attended the banquet, which was held in the regular dining room. Following tae dinner the group re-assembled on the upper floor and listened to several sea-chanteys sung by the Male Glee Club. Dean J.

Nelson Norwood then presented to President and Mrs. Davis an electric chime clock as a farewell gift from his faculty and co-workers; the singing of the Alma Mater brought the gathering to a close.

DR. ROSS CONDUCTS GEOLOGY TRIP

More than twenty students of Geo- logy studied the moraine and fossils in the territory lying between Alfred and Rochester on a trip to Rochester, conducted by Professor R.oss. The five cars made numerous stops along j the way so that the geologic aspects of the respective sections might be inspected at first hand by the students.

While in Rochester, the party stop- ped at the University Campus to go through and study the interesting ex- hibits on display in the museum of geology and biology. Going to High- land Park from there, the party enjoyed an ample luncheon prepared by Mrs. Ross.

In the afternoon, many of the high points of Rochester were driven to so that all could study the traces of old Lake Warren. In reaching these places several cars strayed losing much time so that the inspection of the gorge, the highlight of the itinerary, had to be postponed. Pro- fessor and Mrs. Ross and several students expect to follow this with a trip to New York this week as repre- sentatives of Alfred to the meeting of the American Geologic Society.

The awards in the second annual Robineau Memorial Ceramic Exhibi- tion which opened in Syracuse, Mon- day, May 1st, were announced on the preceding Saturday. Once agfcin Al- fred received recognition in that the first prize for the four best pieces ofj pottery went to Arthur E. Baggs, a former resident of Alfred an alumnus of the Ceramic College, and at present head of the Ceramic Art Depart- ment at Ohio State University, and Miss Marion L. Fosdick and Professor Charles Harder of the staff of the Ceramic College received honorable mentions.

There were two prizes of $50 each, awarded for the best piece or group of pottery, and for the best example of ceramic sculpture. The award of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Syra- cuse Museum of Fine Arts for ceramic sculpture was given to Waylande Gregory of Cranbrook Foundation, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, for his

"Head of a Girl with an Olive". Hon- orable mention in the same field went j to Russell Barnett Aiken of Cleveland, Ohio; Diane Hamilton de Causse of the Los Angeles Pottery, Los Angeles, Calif.; Edris Eckhardt, Cleveland, O.;

Miguel Juarez of Hull House, Chicago, Illinois.

The first prize in pottery presented by the Onondago Pottery of Syracuse went to Mr. Baggs for his group of four pieces. Honorable mentions were made of the work of William Hens- chell of Cincinnati, 0.; Marion Fos- dick and Charles Harder of the New York State College of Ceramics; Vik- tor Schrekengost of the Cleveland School of Art, Cleveland, O.; Maija Grotell, Henry Street Settlement, New York City.

It will be remarked how wide-spread is Alfred's influence in Ceramics when j the reader realizes that the ceramic instructors in the two settlement houses, members of which were recognized are Alfred graduates: Mrs.

Myrtle Merritt French at Hull House, and Miss Ruth Canfleld at Henry Street.

Those persons from Alfred who are exhibiting in this display this year are: Dr. Charles F. Binns, Miss Ma- rion L. Fosdick, Professor Charles Harder, Miss Clara K. Nelson, Maryj Brown Allen, Maxine Armstrong, I Dorothy Hallock, Jane Hawk, Martha Gustafsson, Theola Kilburn, Helen Smathers, Wilma Smith and Emil Zschiegner.

The exhibition is a national one I this year; at the first showing it was merely a state affair, but was so popular and so well recognized that the entrees this year included potters from Mexico to Maine. At the recep- tion and preview for exhibitors held on Monday evening last, Dr. Charles F. Binns, the honorary chairman of the jury, delivered a short address.

COUNCIL R E V I S E S RUSHING RULES

AT MEETING

In an effort to better rushing con- ditions for next year's pledging season, the Men's Interfraternity Council made drastic changes in the men's rushing and pledging rules for next year. Three major changes were in- stalled in the new program: A shorter season, no rush parties, and the use of the preferential bidding system.

After much discussion on various changes, the rules committee, in charge of Richard Lawrence, drew up a finished plan which was accepted by the entire council with a few minor changes. All favored a shorter season such that limiting the period to four weeks from the opening of school was accepted and passed. It is hoped that this will relieve the members of the various fraternities from the long strain of an extended period.

Realizing that Freshmen should join fraternities for the men in them and not for rush parties, this old form was eliminated. In their place, the Council voted to have open house on the four Friday nights of rushing season with each fraternity allowed to entertain one quarter of the eligi- ble men to be drawn by lot.

Prohibition of Freshmen from fraternity houses except at specified time was thoroughly discussed. It was finally decided that no Freshmen would be allowed in the various houses at any time except for the Friday open house and for dinner on Monday

| and Wednesday evening. On these i evenings, five men may be invited for dinner and entertained until nine o'clock.

In spite of the fact that no schools the size of Alfred use the preferential system of bidding, the Council decided to give it a try as no disadvantages seemed probable. The advantage of making the Freshmen decide as an individual without knowledge of the number of bids he has received was sufficient recommendation.

For greater detail of any parts of these changes, next year's handbook may be consulted. This will go to i press soon and be ready for all for

next year.

Loyalty Medals

Have you ever heard it said, after the awarding of loyalty medals, that there were many others just as worthy of being the person to receive this highest award to be won by a student in Alfred? And then have you wondered why this practice should be continual if it seemed unfair to so many other students of almost equal ability and endeavor? If so, you will be interested in one viewpoint of the perenial discussion.

We grant that every year there are four of five people whose achievements make them so outstanding that they are the most likely to be awarded this medal and are so nominated by the Fiat Lux.

Granting this, you ask us why each one of these should not receive recognition. In answer, we ask you to look to one of the lesser of these individuals and compare him with some others and you will find this second group to be descriminated against. Therefore, it is clear that, no matter now many you include for recognition, there will always be some marginal students to whom apparently this limi- tation is unfair. Then, why have any medal or recognition at all if no group can be selected without seeming partiality?

If you look at the present Freshmen class or look back at the times when Freshmen enter this college, you will see a mass of hu- manity with apparently no potentiality for bettering Alfred. What is it that develops them into Alfred boosters and workers ? In sports, it is the incentive of a varsity letter, and recognition of their abilitj^

by the crowd; in studies it is the marks and honorary societies that spurs them on. Yet there are some who could achieve these honors with ease and then, if the loyalty medal were omitted, would have nothing to strive for by putting forth their best effort. If the loy- alty medal spurs these individuals on to further effort, is not its continued existence justified? It cannot be justified as being fair to all, yet on this basis it can be justified and those who just miss out have the reward of having accomplished and learned more than they might otherwise have. ^^

ALUMNI NEWS

The Buffalo group of the Alfred Alumni Association held their Annual Alumni banquet, Saturday evening, May 6th, at the Avenue Chateau on Delaware Avenue. President and Mrs.

B. C. Davis, Dr. J. Wesley Miller, Di- rector of Department of Finance, and Mrs. Margaret Emerson Larkin, As- sistant Alumni Secretary, attended for the dinner. President Davis and Dr. Miller made short speeches, which were warmly received by the group.

On this Saturday, Dr. Miller and President Davis are planning to at- tend a similar banquet to be held by the Chicago group of the Alfred Alumni Association.

A recent letter from Rudolph D'- Elia, of the class of '30, and now a student in the Chicago Medical School, says he has been made associate edi- tor of his college paper and a pledge in the "Twelve Ribs" fraternity. He writes that the World's Fair grounds and buildings are in keeping with the immense undertaking to be put on ex- hibition in Chicago, this summer.

Word has been received of the death of Charles Coit of Bradford, Pa. He was the father of Miss Margrieta Coit, who graduated with the class of 1931.

Samuel Pilato, A. U. '33, spent a few days renewing old friends in Alfred last week.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Two outstanding fiim hits of the year have been secured for this week's program of Alfred Cooperative Pic- tures in Alumni Hall. Zwei Menschen with a theme similiar to that of the

"White Sister" will be shown twice Thursday night, while "The Conquer- ors" with Ann Harding and Richard Dix, an epic of pioneer west, will be shown Saturday night.

"Zwei Menschen" is a German pro- duction. It is done in the German language and yet it is said that little difficulty is to be found by those per- sons not having studied German. Eng- lish titles and little conversation help greatly. The film, however, on the basis of its entertainment value alone through pantomine deserves a large audience. Its setting is in the Alps.

This plot of heroic proportions is ideally presented in the acting of Charlotte Susa and Gustav Froelich, whose work ranks with the best the screen has to offer. Their perform- ance is remarkable in the lack of his- trionic melodramatics. Acting inward- ly, they express their pent-up emotions through their eyes and faces rather than through dialogue and violent guesture. It is a delight to those whose knowledge of German is ex- tremely limited to be able to under- stand and to be thrilled by their grip- ping ^portrayals.

Historical value, clean romance, comedy, action, intermingled with every-day tragedies of life make "The Conqueror" one of filmdom's most understanding pictures.

A thrilling kaleidoscope of the progress of invention provides an in- teresting and colorful accompaniment to the intensely dramatic theme.

This pageant of science and imagi- native skill shows the introduction of the writing machine, the telephone, the submarine, the electric light, phon- ograph, trolly car, elevated railroad, wireless, the coming of the first rail- way train through the west and other great milestones of advancing civiliza- tion.

All of these are secondary to the major theme of "The Conquerors,"

which splashes on a vast canvas the dramatic story of the nation's second battalion of 'pioneers: the men and women who followed the scouts and trappers into the West to build the commercial frontier.

An unusual program of short reelers has been arranged. Bing Crosby will be featured in one Thursday night, another reeler features impersonation of several stars. Saturday night, three shorts are included, one regarding Mother's Day, another dealing with

"Strange Birds" and a comedy, "Ho- kum Hotel".

CLL, it's like this. Back in the old days, when men wore high hats and frock coats, they had plenty of time to think things out, and they had sense, too.

They used to sit down on a log and take the time to whittle their tobacco from a plug, to be sure of having a cool smoke.

" I n those days, a man named Wellman, right here in Quincy, 111., made about the best tobacco you could get. He knew how to keep the flavor fine and mellow.

"Well, sir, the people who make this Granger Rough Cut acquired Mr.

Wellman's method, and they must have known how the old boys used to whittle their tobacco to make it smoke cool. Yes, sir, this Granger is the real stuff. The same mellowness and fine flavor that Wellman used to hand out to his friends.

And it's whittled into big shaggy flakes all ready for the pipe. 'Rough Cut' they call it—*cut rough to smoke cool' is the best way I can describe it.

"Regardless of price, Granger is about the best pipe tobacco I ever smoked. That's why I smoke it, and that's why they call it America's Pipe Tobacco, sir."

Now we wanted to sell Granger for It was just a question of how to do it for the price. So we pack Granger in a sen- sible foil pouch instead of an expensive package, knowing that a man can't smoke the package. We give smokers this good

Bradford with 27% and Canisteo with 22y2 points were second and third respectively in the competition of 20 western and central New York high schools. Hornell High School finished fifth with 13% points.

Perhaps the feature event of the day was the mile run. It was won by S.

Dyviniak of Depew, who easily led the field of some 50 runners by a half lap to come within three seconds of the carnival record established by a Jamestown athlete in 1930. Dyviniak's time was 4:47 and had he been press- ed probably would have lowered the mark. No records in any of the events were broken, however.

Rettburg, Forsythe Star

L. Rettburg of Salamanca and For- sythe of Dansville, each with ten points, were tied for individual scoring honors. Both will receive silver trophies of a trackman in action, although it had been planned to award only one. Gold, silver and bronze medals were awarded to first, second and third place athletes. Corning North Side received a handsome trophy for victory in the four-fifths mile relay. Salamanca High was presented with the largest and most expensive trophy for team victory.

tie for fourth, C. Babcock, C. Nichol- son, Hornell and L. De Barbieri, Wells- ville. Height: 11 feet, two inches.

Jump, Rettburg of Salamanca on his last jump glided through the air to set a 20 feet four and one-fourth inch mark to formally clinch the meet for Sala- manca. Up until t h e broad jump, which was the last event to be run off and even though Salamanca was in the lead by three points, the meet was in the fire between Salamanca and Bradford. In the pole vault, two men tied for first. They were Ernest Down- ing of Hornell and K. Zeltwanger of Canisteo at a height of 11 feet two inches.

Earl Potter was the iron man of the Bolivar team. He showed up well in the relay but the remaining members of the team failed to take advantage of the lead he established as first man.

In the 220 low hurdles, after running two trials in the morning, Potter took first place.

Olean experienced a little tough luck, when Williams in the 100 yard dash—last year's victor over much stiffer competition in the same run—

within a few yards of the tape started to glide in with the result that a couple of other men glided by him to cause his elimination from that event.

Olean, however, did a brilliant piece of running in the relay and garnered second place, as well as a fifth in the 220 yard dash.

Wellsville placed fourth in the meet with 14% points. Three places in the 220, 100 and javelin, as well as a point in the relay and pole vault and % point in the high jump gave them their total.

Relay Feature

In the afternoon another feature entertainment attraction of the meet was an exhibition four-fifths mile relay between the Alfred Varsity and Frosh teams. The race was won by the Var- sity, which lowered the 46 2-5 seconds record of Buffalo Bennett High School established in 1932, by five seconds.

Running for the Varsity were Hillwig, Wessels, Wallace and Merck. Prior, Giannassio, Hibbard and Oldfield ran for the Freshmen.

The teams entered and their scoring follows: Salamanca, 3S; Bradford,

MANSFIELD TOPS TENNIS TEAM

IN FIRST TILT

The Varsity Tennis Team inaugu- rated its season last Friday by re- ceiving a 7-1 defeat at the hands of Mansfield State Teachers College, at Mansfield.

Captain "Happy" Rinzler took the only match for Alfred by defeating the Mansfield No. 1 man, R. Straugh, 7-1,9-11, 6-0. This match proved the most exciting one for the spectators, because during the second set Rinzler almost had match point two or three times as the score see-sawed back and forth, but Straughn took the second set. However, Rinzler's reserve strength and steady playing proved too much for the tired Mansfield man and he cinched the match by a final six-love set.

The Alfred team was handicapped by the absence of Joe Kuite. but Coach Cornish of Mansfield said that this year's team was the strongest one he has ever had.

However the Mansfield team will play a return match at Alfred on Thursday, May 11th, and Coach Bas- sett's men are out to avenge their first defeat.
