L. I. U. TAKES VARSITY WITH 33-0 SCORE
Alfred's Varsity eleven was unable to stop the strong attack of Long Is- land University, and went down to a 33-0 defeat, at Dexter Park last Sat- urday. The Long Island team flashed a passing attack which netted them some long gains, and Skillman's run-
ning proved to be an obstacle the I gives one little consolation. Nosed
RESUME OF SAXON'S SEASON IN SPORTS
High hopes and a week of intensive enterprise was not sufficient to throw off a lethargy which had been evi- denced on the Varsity Squad ever since the Susquehanna game. The in- vasion of the metropolis proved a catastrophe for the the Saxon eleven.
Viewing the season in retrospect Saxon team could not overcome.
The Saxons held the Long Islanders scoreless during the initial period and then became careless, while Janus scored twice for his team on two runs of seven and forty yeards, in the sec-
out by a fighting Hamilton team in the opener, because of failure to con- vert the extra point, the Alfred team faced Rochester, determined to defeat the so-called Yellow horde, only to fail because of inability to protect a

In its first game abroad the Saxons met a sur- prisingly stubborn Hobart team and eked out a very slim victory from the Deacons.

An opinion was received this week by the editor voicing the popular sentiment regarding- the football team and playing. Due to its being unsigned it was impossible to print it, as it is a rule of the Fiat not to print anonymous articles, although the name of the writer is not printed unless he desires so. However its content was food for thought.
This past season has been a quite unsuccessful season as far as football is concerned. There are many explanations that have been offered, but none have been pertinent and to the point. The reason that Alfred has not had a better showing is that the ma- jority of the players did their utmost, perhaps unconsciously, to prevent it. Eighty percent of the players did not keep training rules or any semblance of them, violations of the most elemental training rules were flagrant and inexcusable. The players func- tioned as a team in only one game, and had to be verbally horse- whipped into it in that instance. Football is a team sport, it requires that individual preferences and petty quarrels be laid aside in order that the eleven men on the field play as one, and not as three or four factions. Fraternity feeling- is an ignorant convention, or perhaps it is a habit, but it is doubly so when it is displayed on the football field.
/ A Sense of Rumor
During the much-talked-of revolution, one of the most engag- ing and interesting items was the rumor that was current, or rather rampant. To attempt to classify it into a list would be an almost endless task, but here are a few of the ideas:
That Dean Norwood said the student body did not have "nerve"
enough to walk out.
That Professor Cortelyou called up Burdick Hall, asked if they would strike, and when told that they would, said that that was all there was to it, college would be closed.
That the water supply from the full reservoir would last only fourteen hours.
That the Andover fire truck was not available.
That there were several cases of typhoid in the village.
That the water had been analyzed and found impure.
That the student body had no reasonable basis for their protest.
That all they wanted was a few days vacation.
And so the list could go on. The thing that was needed most at the time was not a sense of rumor, but a sense of humor by both factions.
devotedly, to young people, as a uni- versity teacher and dean. We are for- tunate to obtain a statement of his ripe thinking based on thorough scholarship, large experience, patient reasoning, systematized conclusions, mature convictions, spiritual insight, \ and Christian character. We are making many detours in thought, to- day, because we are passing through intellectual fogs. This treatise may help us to see our way, more clearly.
Dr. Main recognizes the great value of psychological investigation and thinking, and welcomes knowledge i from all sources, but makes it clear that modern paganism in attacking well attested spiritual experience, has no monoply on truth. He presents statements of many psychologists, and thinkers in the field of religion, in support of the validity of Christain history, thought, experience, and utility.
Had the author the time and health, he could expand this essay into a large book and give more fully the steps of reasoning that lead to his conclusions. As it is, Dr. Main shows the glaring deficiencies and one-sided emphasizings of Behaviorism, mech- anism, materialism, and Freudianism.
He faces the fallacious attacks of these schools of thought on Christian- ity, with wisdom and logic. Repeat- edly, he points out that the psycho- logist deals with mJBui processes and human behavior, and not with ulti- mate causes of theology, metaphysics, and history. At the close, he states simply the basic principles of Chris- tian thought, faith, experience, and life, that stand unmoved by the new psychologies. His thinking never chafes but moves quietly as a mighty river.
May this discussion whet our desires and stimulate our effort to work over this field until our intellectual con- fusions are claified in more psycholog- ical knowledge and in more religious certainty."
William H. Perry College students, especially those taking courses in psychology, religion or philosophy, will derive considerable pleasure as well as beneficial instruc- tion from a perusal of this work.

' November 15, 1931 To the Editor of the Fiat Lux:
In response to one o£ Chaplain Me- Leod's chapel talks on the ignorance of Alfred students as far as world problems and national affairs are con- cerned, it seems that a group of stu- dents have become interested in try- ing to better that condition.
We are going out into the world within the next few years. However, how can we, supposedly intelligent people, go into business and world affairs ignorant of the situations and conditions that now exist. We can- not attempt to better them if we do not know what the causes for such situations are.
It is our idea to have a Round Table discussion once or twice a week, at a place where all those students and faculty members who might be inter- ested, can meet for such discussions.
At these discussions topics such as the Japanese-Chinese War, the League of Nations, the Fascisti, the business depression, and national political and economic situations can be brought up, and those who can contribute to the discussions and those of us who wish to learn about the important things in the world are welcome.
Let's get together and try this out to see if something can be done for our own good and interest, so that we may be better adapted to meet others on common ground, and at least be able to talk intelligently on these subjects.
Sincerely, B. B.

Various people on this campus de- i sire an explanation of "Nice going Pi Alpha," that was in the Theta Nu I personals. Did they win a race or
something?
The Reserve Weekly reports that at New York University the sugges- tion has been made that professors publish in the University catalog a list of the text books to be read dur- ing the coming year. This innovation, it is claimed, would enable students to get a clear idea of the work to be done in the course, would make it possible for them to read up on the subject in advance, and would give the students adequate time for the procuring of books.
The Reserve Weekly: According to the United Press, "rumble-seat colds"
are blamed by the university authori- ties for the epidemic of running noses, which has spread so widely about the campus of the University of Kansas.
The university physician has warned against "close contact and promiscu- ous osculation".
Swarthmore Phoenix: Probably the first college course in radio announcing is now offered at the State University of Iowa. The class uses the Univer- sity's station WSUI, for practice.
Swarthmore Phoenix: The voices of students of Barnard College of Columbia University will hearafter be recorded on phonograph records when they enter the college as freshmen, and when they leave as seniors. This will not only help them to correct their speech manners, but will also be valuable as a cross-section of speech of middle-class America.
The Purple and Gray: Our enter- prising college students have adopted the latest in the line of insurance.
Students take out insurance policies against being called on in class and for a down payment of 25 cents they may collect five dollars in case the Prof, calls their names.
Swarthmore Phoenix: Smith Col- lege girls have been denied the use of automobiles on the campus. In- stead they go around on "scooters".
Swarthmore Phoenix: it is against the rules at Barnard College for Freshmen to laugh at faculty jokes.
The Springfield Student: Scientists at Perkins Observatory at Ohio Wes- leyan University hope that before the
course

Never parched 9 never toasted
CAMELS are FRESH
in nature's own mild way!
jilVERYONE knows now that Camels are the fresh ing. They need no parching or toasting to make them cigarette.
If inquiry went deeper, it would reveal that Camels are the natural moisture cigarette.
That's important, because in handling fine to- baccos, when you process out natural moisture, you sacrifice freshness and flavor too.
Camel smokers needn't worry about that, because Camels are blended of fine Turkish and mild Domestic tobaccos that are never subjected to violent process-
smooth, palatable, cool.
That's why the Camel Humidor Pack is such a boon to Camel smokers—it preserves the freshness, flavor, natural moisture, fragrance that are in this fine ciga- rette to start with.
Camels are fresh in nature's own mild way, and if you want to see what that means in unalloyed smoke- enjoyment, switch to them for just one day — then leave them, if you can!

Although Bartlett Hall dance was call- ed off late in the week due to some unforseen causes, some of the "Frosh"
at the hall not to be outdone by their rivals, applied and received permis- sion to hold an open house Saturday
night. The affair as a whole was very nuccessful. The music was fur- nished by the new R. C. A. radio victrola which is on trial at the dorm.
The guests of the evening were, Dean Degen and Professor Harris. At 11:45, the last dance was announced and everybody, after bidding Mother Camp farewell, hurried to their happy abodes as 12:00 P. M. was the zero hour.
Tough luck, Frosh—better luck next year.

don't know a blessed thing about how cigarettes are made. But, of course, I would want the tobacco to be PURE. And then I've heard that the blending is very important. I'd want that to be done just right.
"Then the paper. I don't like paper that you can taste—or smell when it's burning. I'd want that pure too.
"Another thing. I want to smoke when- ever I feel like it—without worrying about smoking too many. So I want my ciga- rettes MILD.
"But the main thing, of course, is TASTE. I don't care for over-sweet- ened cigarettes. I much prefer those that are just sweet enough.
"Chesterfield seems to satisfy in every one of these ways. That is why I'd rather have a Chesterfield."
SMOKERS tire of too much sweetness in a cigarette, and they don't like rawness.
For a steady diet, they want a cigarette like CHESTERFIELD — a mild and mel- low smoke, free from any over-sweetness or any harshness or bitterness. That's why more and more smokers every day are changing to CHESTERFIELD.
Good . . . they've got to be good.

An undefeated record is a handicap; the Harvard Frosh Beat Yale, and in the last three five first downs but for the most part' years the blue yearlings have won play was confined to midfield. The j only to have the varsity lose. The two scoring thrusts served to break Crusaders of Holy Cross took lots out the monotony of the midfield play.
The second half saw the Cadets score once on a pass and another time on a fake pass. Alfred was held rather easily in this second half and at no time did they seriously threaten to score.
Bevacqua playing at guard for the frosh was his usual self; always to be depended upon to give his best, he was in there stopping every play possible and together with Clark, Fierstine and Burch they proved to be Alfred's standouts. Manlius was all Gaffney and Hollembaek.
Summary:
Manlius (19)
of the Harvard team, while Yale was resting up for the big game. It will be a battle royal with Albie Booth and Barry Wood vieing for honors.
It is the little Blue half pint's turn.
Wood has had the Indian sign on him for three years, beating the Yale I Frosh four years ago with his edu- I cated toe, in a 7-6 win. Rochester
| to top Hobart, although we hope it will be the other way around. S. Cali- fornia will give Notre Dame its closest scare of the year, but the game is in the Irishmen's own back yard. The South Benders should win. Niagara and St. Bonaventure look even to us.

A. U. C. A.
The A. U. C. A. is one of the oldest organizations on the campus. It's purpose is to promote fellowship among students by having weekly- meetings where the fellows can gel together to discuss problems of im- portance in the life of every college student.
The A. U. C. A. was formerly the Y. M. C. A., but was re-organized re- cently with the idea of making it form a more vital part in the college life of Alfred. Dean Norwood, Pro- fessor Conroe, Chaplain McLeod, and Coach McLane were chosen faculty members of the cabinet.
The President, Samuelson, recently represented Alfred University at the New York State Student Council.
At the New York State Student Conference at Kingston, New York, twenty-three colleges were represent- ed. The general theme of the con- ference was: The Road to Interna- tional Friendship. Such noted speak- ers as Kirby Page, Paul Harris and William Pickins addressed the stu- dents, and discussed with them world problems of peace and disarmament.

SOPHS BEAT FROSH 3-0 On Friday the Sophs beat the Frosh 3-0 in the first Interclass Hockey game of the season. During the first half most of the playing took place in Frosh territory, but in the second half the Frosh showed up nicely. Al- though they failed to score, they pre- vented the Sophs from scoring in this half. It had been rumored that due to the mud on the field there would be no game, but the mud only added more excitement to the game.
Some of the rules for Freshmen of Harvard University in 1734 were:
"No freshman shall wear his hat i in the college yard except when it rains or snows, or be on horseback, or hath both hands full."
"No freshman shall use lying or equivocation to escape going on an errand."
"Freshmen may wear their hats at dinner and supper except when they receive their commons of bread and beer."
