'Gray Overcoat" Outstanding With Hooney In Lead; Other Plays Considered On a Par, With "Wreckage" the Most Difficult To Produce; Time and Effort Spsnt To Good Advantage On Stage Set and Properties
On Thursday evening, March 6, the Footlight Club presented the annual program of one-act plays known as t h e Frosh-Soph plays. Considering t h e limited time for production and the congestion in the use of the stage a t this time, it was a very creditable performance.
The first play "Wreckage," was one requiring sensitive interpretation and finished acting, an unfortunate choice for beginners and it is not surprising that it failed to go over. However there was good acting by Phlabia Sheehen whose part called for the same asperity as in the Brat, and by jt o r y- Anne Wliitfield whost first appearance

Two highly successful Alfred bas- ketball teams, the Varsity and Frosh, played a post-season benefit game at the local gym last Wednesday night.

; Forceiul fepeckar To Outline Sub- ject of World Interest In
Great A. U. C. A. Program
The A. U. C. A., in sponsoring the annual "International Week" program will present three of the most forceful and best known speakers in the coun- try to the Alfred student body from March 25-28th. It is highly probable that these speakers will be favored with two assemblies ne.vt week and they will be in attendance at all of the classes in sociology and philosophy during that time.
Mr. J. Vijayatunga, the first speaker on the program, will favor the stu- dents with the following topics
"Gandhi—An Interpretation", "The Presents ituation in India", and "The Message of the Buddha." Mr. Vijaya- tunga has included fifteen of the lead- ing colleges in the East in his itiner ary and has broadcasted the above- topics over Stations WEAF and WJZ
greater freedom is demanded the rope j is lengthened and stronger stakes are necessary. Mr. Flaxingfon then pre- sented several methods for strengthen- i n g these stakes: "The most impor- tant of these is education when it leads us to discern the truth behind the facts and to develop a philosophy.
But this is not alone sufficient to de- velop a spiritual background. For this the stakes of moral character are the only ones thai will hold.''
Mr. Flaxington then summed up his speech by discussing living in the
| following manner: "The ultimate quest of everyone is more life. This must be very carefully defined as there are so many varying degrees of life, but to live best one must bring his strongest powers to the richest possible surrounding. This, then, will lead us to that strong stake of moral character. These spiritual victories cost tremendously and it is easier to start the quest of them than to con- tinue."
"But', conclude! Mr. Flaxington,
"those who gave their lives in the last j t
var have continued and we can only j ' C o n t i n u e d o n p a g e t l l r e e
keep faith with them if we aim I toward a better life."
During the past week Chaplain Mc- Leod offered some thoughts particu larly relevant to the Lenten season just ushered in. The topic for Mon- day was concerned with the evils oi gossip which was likewise apropos to this week of sorority bidding. On Thursday "Copsecration by Discipline"
was discussed with the idea that "life cannot be roughed smoothly but the real mastery of self and the world can only by the pathway of discipline."
The scripture for Wednesday was "1 have come that they might have life to the full", which, Chaplain McLeod pointed out, results from making the most of the possibilities of life and through contact with the spirit of power which is God. Thursday's talk was related to the typical antagonisms which are operating against Jesus to- day. "Jesus is told to get out because his teachings run counter to sacred tradition and practices, because they would challenge some government practices; because they condemn cher- ished race and class nationalistic pre- judices." "Black Sheep" concluded the topics. Many examples were
ADDRESS ASSEMBLY
A lawyer of note, Mr. Lansdowne from Buffalo, will give the address in Assembly, Thursday. His subject will probably deal with some phase of the Baumes Law.
Professor- Rusby To Speak At Local A. U. C. A. Meeting
Prof. Paul Rusby is to be a speaker at the A. U. C. A. meeting Tuesday night. At this time there will also
be a discussion of plans concerning j tn e East, the Purple Key. This organization
is to take care of visiting teams.
"Eats and Smokes" will be supplied at the meeting.
The most forceful speaker of the three, Michael J. Hickey of New York, will follow Vijayatunga and will of- fer present-day social and economic

China and her affairs will also be ably represented in the person of Kenneth J. Beaton, who is now lectur ing in many American colleges after his recent visit to China. Mr. Beaton comes highly recommended as a speaker from the largest colleges in'

Sanchez started off aggressively and gave an excellent exhibition in using his famous double arm lock from both a standing and kneeling posit- tion. The bout was very scientific and finally Sanchez's opponent suc- cumed to his pet hold.
Zalkind, of C. C. N. Y. had an all around advantage on the inexperi- enced Vezzoli. The latter could not handle his man because of i.i:; huge size and strength, so lost by a deci- sion.
Felli furnished another surprise of the evening by going the limit with Viscotsky, of C. C. N. Y., who threw Stelljis, famed Mechanic's mat-man, in less than two minutes. The clever C. C. N. Y. man met his match in wits with Felli who successfully blocked many a cunning hold, but lost by a referee's decision.

HURTS AND HEARTS
One day I stoned a rabbit that by chance I did espy,
A little thing so quick and lithe, I would not pass it by.
Unthinkingly, I stormed my prey with missiles large and small, My aim was true and very soon. 1
saw my victim fall.
| But with its fall the fun was gone, I it left but deep regret,
! A boy was I but still I knew that deed I'd not forget.
I picked it up quite tenderly and felt the body throb.
I heard its tiny whimpers tell of life I tried to rob.
Then my heart welled up with pity and my soul had grown a thorn.
My tears rolled down and washed (he wounds that were to folly born.
Now whenever I am tempted to cause others grief or pain,
There forms a mental picture and I live that day again,
That clay of revelation when the truth chalked up a score.
When I stoned a little rabbit and hurl myself the more.

Florence Schubert, who is con- valescent after an appendicitis oper- ation, has returned to the Brick.
Mrs. C. Loomis Allen is recovering from injuries sustained as a result of a fall two weeks ago.

EXCHANGES
Professor William H. Brown, Jr., passed yesterday in "humiliation and prayer" hoping it would bring up the scholastic rating of his engineering class. The average of the class was 12% per cent in a recent examination.
The following notice was posted on his door: "The papers are the poorest I ever g o t . . . . I t would be wise not to bother me for the rest of the week, which I must pass in 'humiliation and prayer'."—The Colgate Maroon.
Smoking three cigarettes a day dur- ing training without breaking rules may be all right for men on the hock- ey team but probably will not set an example for other athletic teams at Boston University.—Boston University News.
Deploring the lack of college spirit at Columbia University and attribut- ing it to the "sophistocated influence"
of the big city, a secret society, com- posed of sophomores, juniors and seniors and called "The Black Aven- gers" has been formed to spread ter- ror and a respect of traditions among the freshman. The freshmen is a sturdy and independent class and the new idea of including all the college is to force them into submission.
Dates at Purdue range all the way from twent-five cents to five dollars, according to a student survey made recently. The formula for the twenty- five cent brand is as follows: Cigar- ettes, two corks, and a sorority house porch, or in some cases, the stadium.
Inter-sorority football has been established at Southern Methodist University.
Cause for this action is found in that there were 300 who paid admis- sions for their Junior Prom, it is said, while J23 couples attended. Imagine a case like this in Alfred!

Three Varsity Men
The Inter-Class Wrestling Meet which will be held within a week, will display many a thrilling and hard contested battle among the zealous, rival classes. It' Hambel, Varsity cap- tain, D'Elia and Sanchez can recover from their injuries in time, the Seniors chances for winning the conflict should be very bright. The Seniors' strength will be supplemented by the services of Armstrong, Fenner, and Gilder.
The Juniors possess an all around powerful aggregation which consists of such experienced men as Bryant, Flint, Rothstein, Stalman, Sadler, Atwood, Kickham and Gallup. This well-balanced team should prove it- self capable of making a strong bid for high honors.
Grantier of the Sophomore class will endeavor to lead his fellow class- men, Servatius, Lockwood, Stanton.
Knox and Davidson to victory. Most of these men have been training con- sistently during the season and they may produce unexpected results.
The Freshman class will rely on such men of Varsity caliber as Felli, Bentley. Phillips. Benza, and Vezzoli to capture their share of the victory.
Goldberg should prove a valuable as- set in the heavyweight class. Although the "Frosh" lack the valuable experi- ence that the upperclassmen possess, they should make the competition very keen and lively.
A CORRECTION
The privilege of dancing while en- tertaining in on Saturday evenings is granted only to the sororities, inas- much as the action came as the result of a petition of I.lie intersorority council. The mention of the Brick should not have appeared in the arti- cle in last week's issue.
Pino Knots Take Load In Intramural Contest
Three of the seven intramural games scheduled for last week were postponed for various reasons, making the week- ly results rather slim. Tuesday the Pine Knots won over Smith Club and repeated the act in their game with j Kappa Psi Upsilon on Thursday thus I taking the lead for the week by vir-
tue of winnng two games. Wednes- day two games were fought out on the court, the first between the Alpha Zetas and the Betas and the other between Theta Kappa Nu and Burdick Hall. The Alpha Zetas won their game and Theta Kappa Nu came out on top in theirs.

Out of one hundred University of Cincinnati students who recently took a special examination composed of questions which had no answers, half of them bluffed 46.58 per cent or more. Some bluffed their way through 81 percent of the examinations which asked for fictitious word definitions, authors of unwritten books, and in- dentification of certain alleged pass- ages in Shakespeare.
Boston University has just recog- nized high scholarship as a virtue by giving unlimited outs to those juniors and seniors o( high class standing.
The dean feels that this will make the students assume responsibility.—
W<> wonder!
A novel surgery course has been instituted in Boston University in which the students themselves per form different parts of the operations, instead of watching the instructor.

Alfred's hopes for a championship were shoved into second place Friday night when Buffalo beat Rochester in their last conference tilt, 37-30. The Bisons now have a record of 10 games won and one lost as compared to Al- fred's nine and two.
Coach McLane's grapplers closed a successful season Saturday night by downing the powerful C. C.N. Y. mat team in a close meet, by a score of 20-14. Two men won their letters, namely, Atwood and Knox. It was Knox's first appearance on a collegi- ate mat and he pulled a surprise when he pinned his man in a short time.
The game between the Varsity, minus the Seniors, and the Frosh Wednesday night furnished the spec- tators with as many thrills and good basketball as the have seen this sea- son. Due largely to MacFadden's ac- curate shooting the upperclassmen were able to emerge on the long end of a 29-25 score.
With the close of the current bas- ketball season statistics have been compiled which show that Latronica was the individual high scorer of the season while Fenner played the most number of minutes. Alfred won twelve and lost seven games, nine of the vic- tories being conference games and two of the defeats also being league en- counters. The Purple amassed a total of 589 points to their opponents 52S.

i might have been another and better ] one. At limes there was a little crowding and confusion of the cast.
As suggestions and not criticisms I might Kay that the old complaint of ' p o o r articulation could lie renewed in several cases, t h e lawyer and the maid being most conspicuous, bul Many lines during the evening wera entirely lost. Also, a little more care ' i n make-up would avoid quandaries as to which were father and which son.
Though a less conspicious background would be much easier to play against.
Perhaps he is right, but neverthe- less we still defend bluffing. There is something to it that savors of a re-
| liant, do-or-die, fighting spirit that j seems commendable in youth. Stu- dents on the whole, know that bluff- ing is wrong, yet they often resort to : it because of a notion that instructors sometimes give some credit for "at- tempts" at answering examination questions. If they are ingenious enough in bluffing, some instructors may respect their genius enough to give it consideration. And then bluff- ing always produces some amusing ' material for faculty small talk.
the stage managers are (o l>e con: ' lated upon the pleasing and various
; effects accomplished by tho use of the same properties throughout the pro- gram.
