ALFRED CROSS COUNTRY VARSITY SCORES IMPRESSIVE VICTORY TO
WIN THIRD MIDDLE ATLANTIC TITLE
LECTURES IN CLASS
MANHATTAN SECOND WITH UNION THIRD
One of Alfred's strongest hill-and- dale outfits journeyed down to New York City yesterday to cop its third Middle Atlantics cross country title in an impressive victory. The speedy Saxons crushed their opponents by placing five of the first 13 harriers across the tape for a low score of 38 points. The highly touted Manhat- tan and Union teams offered strong competition only to fall beside the way before a mighty Purple on- slaught.
The Middle Atlantics event which frequently offers a classier field than the Intercollegiates started from the tape in a characteristic take-off. The Alfred team presented a well bal- anced outfit and maintained its stride for the entire distance. Razey and Hughes raised the Saxon hopes by setting a strong pace among the lead- ers, while Vance, Roe and Warde held a steady pace in their rear.
At the half-way mark the Alfred team showed its first signs of suc- cess as they all appeared to hold a wealth of reserve power with only half of the race to run. McLeod's charges steadied their strides at that point and jockeyed into better bal- anced positions, relying on all-around strength rather than upon tiring speed.
Hughes and Razey flashed across t h e finish line in a hand-in-hand tie for fourth place. Vance and Roe shattered Manhattan's titular hopes y>y placing in seventh and ninth posi- tions respectively. Warde then cinch- ed the championship by sprinting for thirteenth place as the Middle At- lantic entries finished in rapid suc- cession. The entire Saxon harriers ap- peared to be fresh and strong at the conclusion of the race while more than one of their opponents fell ex- hausted at the end of the gruelling, six and one quarter mile grind.
Coach McLeod's first comment after the race was only in praise of his team for their brilliant victory. "It's a fine team" he said, "and its team balance won the meet for the school."
The Purple harrier's excellent con- dition which has been such a big fac- tor in their success throughout the season also served as a source of surprise to the other schools repre- sented in the meet. A former Al- fred star wired home to the effect that
"only superb runners could take the season's high spot with such calm and precision."
BACKWARD DANCE IS ROUSING SUCCESS
Conventions were reversed! Girls lead and girls cut! Situations were changed, when the girls escorted the men to the Backward dance, Satur- day night. The strains of the Blue Moon orchestra in the dimly lighted gym added to the atmosphere.
Faculty guests were, Miss Starr, Miss Ford, Miss Harris and Chaplain and Mrs. McLeod. This type of dance was introduced to the Campus for the first time three years ago by Phi Sigma Gamma.
FUTURE ASSEMBLIES RATE NOTED MEN
To commence last Thursday's As- sembly, President Davis made two important announcements regarding future Assemblies.
The speaker for the Founders' Day program, November 4, will be Dr.
Paul E. Titsworth, an Alfred gradu- ate of the class of 1906, and later Dean of the College. He is now Presi- dent of Washington College.
One week later, the address will be delivered by Professor Albert Eusli- nell.Hart of Harvard University, pro- vided that he can manage to reach here on that day. Dr. Hart is one of America's leading contemporary his- torians.
A. James Coe Chosen
As Assistant To Editor
Due to a typographical error which appeared in last week's issue of the Fiat Lux in the masthead, the name of A. James Coe was misplaced as a mem- ber of the board of associate editors.
It had been agreed previously by the associate editors that Coe was to suc- ceed Leston Fitch in the position of assistant to the Editor-in-chief.
At the last regular meeting of the Fiat Lux Staff, Coe was officially elected to his new position by a unani- mous vote of the staff. The new assis- tant has served as an associate editor in the Sports and Feature departments of this paper.
FOOTLIGHT CLUB PLAY UPROARIOUSLY TAKEN IN REGULAR ASSEMBLY AS ONE-ACT FARCE
OFFERS EXCELLENT CHARACTERIZATIONS
The play, "Town Hall Tonight,"
given in Assembly by the members of the Footlight Club last Thursday was a rollicking farce which, judging from its uproarious reception, served as amusing entertainment. However, in several respects the presentation of the play did not equal past per£oj- mances of the Footlight Club. There was a lack of finish to the production, a dragging in the action and some actual difficulty in following and com- prehending the plot. A great deal of the humor was supplied entirely through the author's cleverness rath- er than through the interpretation of the players or from the contrast be- tween the role in the play to the actu- al character of the actor.
For real character interpretation the honors go to Francis McCourt who, hidden behind an extensive growth of whiskers, carried off the part of
the deaf "orchestra leader" so clever- ly that some of the audience did not recognize him. Robert Stanton gave a good performance in a character I part although his movements about the stage seemed awkward. Elizabeth Rogers and Mildred Kneerim enjoyed themselves thoroughly as typical
"tough" members of a stock company.
Annette Clifford and James Morris had the most difficult roles to fill, especially in Miss Clifford's case, where her part was in direct contrast to the others.
Everyone was aware that the Foot- i light Club was pressed for time with I the forthcoming production of the Frosh-Soph Plays. However, in the future it is to be hoped that its mem- bers will give the student body just j as entertaining a treat but with per- haps a little more thought content and care in the production.
Archie E. Champlin
Professor A. E. Champlin, Director of the Ag School, gave an interesting address on the Grange and. its activi- ties before the class of Economic Life on Thursday of last week. The local Prof, took his audience back to the time just after the Civil war and brought them down the years to the present day in Grange history.
President Johnson, realizing that some way must be devised to adjust slave labor, sent Oliver Kelly, a de- partmental head at Washington, to the southern states to investigate econom- ic conditions. Kelly returned to the Capital City with an idea which he thought would solve the problem for all time. He assembled the govern- ment heads and pledged them to as- sist him in founding the National Grange organization.
At this time, certain words, signs, and grips were devised as part of the secret ritual. Als'o a series of lectures, synibojjr of the lessons vb'ch the grange tries to teach was instigated.
About 1868, the national chapter de- cided that it could not do much good without the aid of local organizations.
At Harrisburg, Pa., and Penn Yan, N. Y., the committee met with little favor and no co-operation. It was at Fredonia, N. Y., that the first local group was organized.
Eight or ten years later, the socie- ty had grown to thousands of mem- bers. Business depression was pre- valent, as it always is following a war. Consequently, the Grangers de- cided to buy products co-operatively in order to save money for themsel- ves. However, this plan did not work out so well and the organization turn- ed to manufacturing their own ma- chinery, etc., to assist them through the lean years. The farmers did not find themselves such good business men and so the co-ops went almost into bankruptcy.
At this time the railroads were de- frauding the public with exorbitant freight rates. To counteract and ad- just this, the Grange organization got together and put over a political deal, whereby they not only elected certain members to the legislature but also put througrj farm legislation which was ultimately responsible for the passing of the Interstate Commerce Act. This was a great boon to the farmers and they rallied to the cause in large num- bers. Thus was organized a nation- wide institution founded on basic principles and destined to live for all time because of its interest in the farmer.
In the Grange organization there are four divisions, each dependent on the other. First there is the local group, then the County Pomona, the State and the National. The local Grange confers four degrees, each of which has its own ritual with its characteristic words, signs, grips and lessons taught. The first degree is symbolic of the laborer, the second degree that of the cultivator, the third represents the harvester, and the last degree is characterized by the hus- bandman. These degrees teach the member to be diligent at all times and

THETA CHI GIVES TEA FOR COLLEGE PROFS.
Theta Theta Chi gave a tea for all the members of the faculty last Fri- day afternoon at Morgan Hall. Mrs.
Davis, Miss Harris and Miss Ford act- ed as hostesses.
The chrysanthemums and pine boughs, with which the rooms were decorated, and the glow of candle- light combined to form a most attrac- tive atmosphere. Throughout the course Edith Sickinger played, and also sang accompanied by Betty Van Horn.
MRS. SEIDLIN GIVES PIANO RECITAL
Lizt, Chopin and Mendelssohn were featured at a piano recital which was rendered by Mrs. Ada Becker Seidlin in the new Howell Social Hall last Sunday evening. A well-crowded hall received her program and at the con- clusion of her scheduled program Chopin's "Nocturne in E Flat" was en- thusiastically requested.
"Reflections in the Water" opened her program with a display of excel- lent technique. The selection pres- ented all of the interpretations of shadows and ripples which only a true artist can display. A similar recital also is scheduled to be given in the near future.
Athletic Association
Votes Football Awards
By vote of the Athletic Association last Thursday after assembly, eight men will receive gold footballs in re- cognition of their playing, during the last and past years. This was carried out at the recommendation of the Athletic Governing Board.
Martin Staiman, president of the association, brought the suggestion up before flie student body. With a short discussion, a motion was made by Anthony Perrone to the effect that,
"All senior letter-men receive a gold football", which was seconded by Ed- ward Cauger, and unanimously car- ried. Those men who will receive the award are: Olander, Kickham, Cap- tain Staiman, Bryant, Regan, McFad- den, Perrone and Servatius.
The Footlight Club presented the annual Fosh-Soph plays in Alumni Hall last night before an appreciative crowd. The plays which were four in number were all well received and judging by the marked appreciation of those in attendance the plays could be considered as a success.
Mrs. Cortelyou and Isaac Rodman carried "The Underdog" to a sad finish with rather difficult character- izations to portray. Jay Riskind in the role of an underworld criminal, presented commendable work althou his part was short in the course of the play.
"The Bracelet", as the second pre- sentation on the program, varied be- tween that of a mystery and drama with Virginia M. Taylor and Kendig Eaton in starring roles. Alice Thorn- ton also carried her part well as a governess in the play which featured a misunderstanding concerning identi- cal bracelets.
Tragedy was featured in the next one-act affair which was entitled,"*
"Her Country". Helen Dietrich, John Keane and Benjamin Bentley, all in- terpreted their parts creditably in an English war-time scene which was rather difficult to comprehend.
Drama and mystery then changed to farcical comedy in the final event of the evening. "Thank You, Doctor", found an eager, attentive audience and it more than met all expectations.
Dante Vezzoli produced an excellent character of a madman, both in actions and in appearance as well.
His part was further enhanced with the aid of some clever lines which were psychologically adopted to the play. Kling Anderson also carried his part in a creditable performance, but Arthur Gaiser, as a doctor, forgot his lines on two quite noticeable oc- casions. However, according to re- ports Gaiser was worked into the play as a substitute, and with only last week-end for preparation his work should merit some approval.
All of the plays were coached by student upperclassmen, primarily by members of the Footlight Club. Coach- ing honors went to John Carr and Robert C. Nobbs for the first play which was difficult to present partly because of its position on the pro- gram and partly because of its type.
Francis McCourt and Stockton Bas- sett handled "Thank You, Doctor".
LOCAL STALWART WAGES THRILLING BATTLE WITH FRAGRANT WOOD KITTY; DROPS IN
OPENING ROUND TO STAGE COME BACK
There is one brave heart who has dared to do battle with the mighty pole- cat. Not only do battle but actually take the offensive side, the aggressive, which in itself is highly unusual.
He prepared him his traps, not far from the barn thinking how fine to j have a whole and beautiful pelt to exhibit. Not much later his vigil was rewarded. A large wood pussy came sauntering by and planted one foot I "plump" into the trap. "Huzzah!" cried the hero and rushed cautiously upon his victim with a ten-foot pole raised high above his head. Alas for the best laid plans of mice and men, the deed of lashing the life-light from the wild creature was not to be so readily accomplished. The pole's descent was cut short by the unpremeditated pres- ence of a window in the barn. The
relief of the skunk was manifest; the atmosphere was verily laden with it. This turn of affairs gave him the opportunity of freeing his foot from the snare. Upon becoming freed, he made his way under the barn.
The young hero thereupon forsook his dream of the trophy intact. Arm- ed with his trusty gun he renewed the attack. Up came the boards of the floor and in he hopped. Cautiously he peered into all the darkish corners.
At last he spied his intended victim, but woe is he! He spied him not before the intended saw him.
The doughty lad, struggling against almost overpowering odds, raised his gun and made an end of friend pole- cat's too long existence. So ended the battle glorious.

Champagne Appetites and Beer Pocketbooks
It is becoming more and more apparent as time rolls on that the Student Body of Alfred is falling- an easy victim of a particularly malignant social disease. We know not the scientific name which identities this malady but it is expressed in a homely albeit truth- ful phase—"Champagne Appetites and Beer Pocketbooks".
When we look the situation squarely in the face we must admit that the majority of the students do not come from homes of wealth and affluence. A good many try to make their college career—"a four year's loaf made of father's dough." Alfred is in many respects an ideal college for the person of meagre or average means. Many of the more ambitious may find, remunerative occupation as an as- sistant in one of the laboratories, class-rooms or campus proper.
Others can obtain work in dining-rooms, kitchens, restaurants and the like.
It is not in the ordinary living expenses that we encounter the difficulty. On the contrary we do not know of any place where the meals and lodging are as reasonably priced and of as superior a quality as they are right here in Alfred. No, it is not here but in wider and more unessential fields that the difficulty is found.
For one thing there is a plethora of societies on the campus.
There is a list too numerous and tedious to mention. These societies, clubs, honorary fraternities and whatnot, call them what you will, are superlatively expensive. They are beyond the means of most of their members. When organization after organization can not meet its obligations till those obligations are way past due, what are we to infer? Any analagous situation has a cause and effect. What is the cause and effect in this ease' We reiterate that in our humble opinion the cause lies in a superabundance of organizations each living beyond its means.
We are not writing this intentionally in a hostile spirit but in the hopes that it will awaken slumbering or insapient spirits, to see the handwriting on the wall before it is too late. Each year the Junior Class goes deeper and deeper into debt. A bigger and better Kanakadea is the cry! Other organizations do likewise—$100—$200
—$300, on and on, increasing progressively in costs are the prices paid orchestras for dances, scenery for plays, costumes for Follies, etcetera.
When shall we call a halt? Who shall put the brakes on? The remedy certainly lies pre-eminently in student hands. Let's have
things on a scale smaller, saner and smarter—but less snooty.
Remember, it is not healthy to go too long feeding a "Champagne
^appetite with Beer pocketbooks!"

Any member of the local Grange may become a member of the Pomona Grange, which is the County organi- zation. This group bestows the fifth i degree. The sixth is conferred by the
State Grange. The seventh degree is received at the National Grange ses- sions.
The present National Grange, com- posed mostly of state officers, is in session today at Rochester, N. Y.
They have, in general, two distinct aims—educational and social. In this assembly of eight or ten days dura- tion, many tilings are discussed. One thing of importance which they con- sider, is the work of the Grange Lec- turer, who prepares the programs.
Then the National body takes up the Grange attitude on public questions.
The body is capable and does exert a powerful influence on legislation, but it keeps politics decidedly out of the discussion.

GIRLS' HOCKEY VARSITY COURT GETS START IN ! TEAM PREPARES
CLASS CONTEST FOR FALL GAMES
It was a lone score for one and a tie for the other as the Frosh- Soph traditional rivalry assumed new pro- portions in girls' hockey at Merrill Field last Friday afternoon. Both teams crossed sticks for the first time in what proved to be a hotly con- tested battle.
The opening minutes of play found both teams rapping the tiny white pellet for short gains on either side of the mid-field marker. However, with four minutes to play in the first half the Sophomores forced the play into scoring territory. After a hard stand the yearlings weakened and Marie Fleischauer escorted the oval between the goal posts to break the scoring ice.
For one brief minute in the second period the Sophomores continued their threat but repeated attacks which were lead by D. B. Eaton car- r i e d t h e b a t t l e out of Fresh- man territory. From that point on the Sophomore goal was continually har- assed. Miss Eaton finally eluded the goalie with a short, fast shot to tie the score. The Frosh repeated their attack and during the final two min- utes of play they strengthened their line-up with reserve strength. The yearling reserves outplayed the weary- Sophomores but were unable to eke out a winning score.

Varsity basketball is now hitting its full stride under the watchful eye of Coach Galloway, who holds high hopes for a successful season. Alfred's Purple Varsity is scheduled to oppose the Alumni on December 10, at the
! Field and Track House for the open- ing court tilt of the current season.
A squad of 25 men are showing ex- cellent material for a winning court combination after a week of daily [practice. Among the veterans who have returned for another campaign are Captain Frank Steele, McFaddeu, Wenger, Bush, Webster, Kickham, Hill, Van Sicklen and Dunbar. From last year's highly successful Frosh quint Captain Shappee, Dickens and
| Allen are keenly contesting against
| the more experienced first-string Saxons. -
Coach "Ghost" Galloway has order- ed light scrimmages during the past week to test out the veterans and to discover whatever promise the new material may have in store. Practices have been held afternoons and eve- nings for the accommodation of the 'players but in the near future a de- ' finite schedule for practice will be
arranged.
Although the Saxons have yet to be defeated at the home court since the Field and Track House has been com- pleted, they have a long and unusually strenuous schedule before them with
| two or three games to be played in one week in many cases. Brockport j Normal and Rochester will follow the
! Alumni as Saxon opponents on Decem-
< ber 13 and 15, to offer a trio of con- I tests in the first five days of play.

Frosh Basketball Gets Under Way
The yearling court squad, number- ing near 30 men, reported to Coach James McLane Monday night at the Davis Track and Field House for their initial practice of the season.
With one of the largest squads in re- cent years Coach McLane will un- doubtedly find material that will form the nucleus of a team that should have a successful season.
The Frosh scrimmaged the Varsity Friday afternoon and Dicandia, Clark, Hanigan, Henning, and Simpson show- ed up well. Although it is too early in the season to predict any lineup, it seems quite certain that these men will see action in most of the games.
Although the schedule has not definitely been completed, arrange- ments are underway for a game with Richburg high school as a preliminary to the Varsity-Alumni battle Saturday.

The Associated Press seemed to make light of the fact that Yale used only three first-string players. With the way that Alfred's breaks were going we were fortunate in having at least one regular in shape for the game.
And then too, what would the Associ- ated press think of the fact that Al- fred used a substitute team in the
