BRICK PROM CHAIRMAN
Second Team Plays In Clarkson Game
The single win of the trip occurred in the first game, when Coach Gallo- way's charges came from behind in the second half and topped Hamilton by a 36-26 score. Webster starred for the local team and garnered eleven points to take high-scoring honors.
The score at half-time was 15-14 in favor of Hamilton.
The next night Coach Galloway started his reserves. The second taam played Clarkson fairly even, the score standing 9-8 in favor of Clarkson at half-time. In the second half, the liome team played inspired ball and could not even be stopped by the in- sertion of the Purple and Gold first team.

Brick Prom Pronounced Huge Success
Delta Sig Protests Intramural Contest
With Theta Kappa Nu
Delta Sigma Phi filed a protest with the Intramural Association last Friday, after its basketball contest with Theta Kappa Nu in the Field and Track House. The protest con- cerned the eligibility of two Theta Nu players, who aided materially in winning a 22-16 victory for the State Street aggregation.
The two men in question, Holden and Tobin, are involved in regard to their eligibility as Theta Nu players in intramural standing. Holden was a member of the Alfred Varsity squad who supposedly left Coach Galloway's team to play on his fra- ternity quintet. Whether or not such an act was permissible and in keeping with the rules of the association, is the ground for the protest which was filed.
The Intramural Association will render its decision within the next few days, at which time it hopes to give a definite interpretation to all intramural playing rules.

Lawrence attack centered around Kunz, who netted the ball for a total
•of twelve points, and helped send the Alfred quintet down to a 33-21 defeat.
Obourne was high scorer for the locals with nine points.

Mrs. Joseph Seidlin Professor of Pianoforte
Mrs. Seidlin Presents Recital In Assembly
At the regular assembly last Thurs- I day, Mrs. Seidlin presented her long awaited piano recital. After being in- troduced by Dean Norwood, she open- ed the program with a few prelimi- nary comments.
The theme of the recital was a presentation of dance tunes down through the ages. Mrs. Seidlin said
| she expected everyone present was well acquainted with the modern dance rythmn, and she was going to try to picture musically the various steps practised during the last two hundred years.
The first number was a "Scotch Folk Dance" written about two hun- dred years ago. Then Mrs. Seidlin branched into a "Gavotte" by Gluck.
In commenting on this piece, she re- marked the fact that present day mus- : ic is reverting to the Glower rythm i of former times.
Following this came a "Minuet" by Paderewsky, the time of which cor- responds to the present day waltz.
Then a "Polish Dance", a "Waltz" by Brahms, and a "Negro Dance" by Cyril Scott was played. This latter i piece being notable for its fast time.
The two concluding pieces were "The Galloway's Cakewalk" by DeBussey, and "Pollonaise" by Chopin, which is a very slow and dignified step.
Alfred's wrestling team took off to a flying start by crushing Mansfield by the biggest score in local wrestling annals. In hammering the Teachers to the tune of 30%-iy2, the Saxons kept their individual records undefeated, Captain Gullo, former Al- fred student, being the only visitor to score and that meager point-and- a-half being credited by holding
"Johnny" Grantier to a draw.
Mansfield produced a smarter team than last year, but McLane's well- balanced outfit proved too strong for the Pennsy • school. The visitors , failed to gain any advantage in scor-
! ing through weak spots in Alfred's line-up as they did in last season's combination. Prugh, veteran unlimit- ed grappler, failed to dump Lockwood as he did before, and the Purple husky settled old scores with a punish- ing and decisive six minute and twen- ty-five second time advantage.
Although the Saxon team made a I strong showing, the 1931 outfit lacked the experience and finesse of form- er years. Nevertheless the present team appears to be in the proper mor- ale and spirit to make a stubborn fight against Rochester Mechanics and Colgate this week-end.
Theta Theta Chi Has Tenth Anniversary
On Saturday night, January 17, Theta Theta Chi held a formal ban- quet in honor of its tenth birthday.
Miss Hewitt acted as toastmistress and Ruth Potter, Gladys Heard, Mary Brown Allen and Ruth Whitford were the speakers. After the dinner the history of the organization was read Ijy Mildred Kneerim. The banquet ended with the singing of the Theta Shi song.
Several alumnae were present for the banquet, Ruth Whitford, Ruth Greene, Frances Green, Dorothy Hal- i lock, Margaret Behm, Mary Alma Lan- j phere. Among the honorary guests were, Marion Galloway, Mrs. Belle Bas- sett, Mrs. Place, Miss Nelson and Mrs.
Boraas.
WORLD ECONOMICS CONFERENCE TO MAKE STUDY OF INTERNATIONAL ASPECTS OF
TARIFF IN HOPE OF SOLVING AFFAIR
The tariff! from how many differ- ent angles it is hitting the people!
There is the unlooked for and un- precedented drought, killing grasses, grass seed, calling for use of imported I seeds— just when the duty has been
! raised 50% and in some cases 150%.
j The best way in which stricken farmers could be helped would be by : Congress doing something to change
this schedule immediately. But what could be done at once? What does the flexible tariff provide? Months of study of every point of related schedule. And grass seeds have to be planted from January to April. It has occurred to many who realize the impossibilities of the present tariff bill, and of others, that tariff-makers hide behind these schedules. Even nomenclature, differing in different countries, has caused confusion and
| endles trouble. To study this matter of nomenclature a committee is now meeting in Geneva. This committee
traces its origin to the World Eco- nomic Conference of 1927. It was then decided that a necessary preliminary to a solution of the tariff difficulties in Europe is a simplification of nomen- clature. Nor is this necessary to Europe alone, it is needed by the world at large. The appointed com- mittee of experts now meeting in Geneva is working to produce a draft framed for this simplification—that is a real classification of all con- ceivable commodities in which busi- ness can be done. This, of course, must be truly international in char- i acter and applicable to all countries.
The League of Nations Assembly is [being told by its own leaders that
1 tariff and custom barriers, the growth j of the protectionist spirit, have be- come a serious menace. Many reme- dies are being proposed, but a clear cut program is lacking. International co-operation is declared to be the vital need of the moment for both world peace and world prosperity.

"Holier Than Thou"
Last week there was distributed pamphlets entitled "Why Boys Should Not Smoke" and "Why Girls Should Not Smoke". These pamphlets were placed in the hallways of fraternity and sorority houses in a most mysterious fashion. They were just found there.
At this time we are not going- into the merits or demerits of the admonition to the girls—the one to the boys is sufficiently insipid.
This pamphlet bears the name of D. II. Kress, M. D. Our first, warning to our readers is not to be taken in by this title. Simply because a piece of literature or work is signed by an individual Haunting a degree it does no follow that the piece will be scholarly or intelligent. This pamphlet is positive proof of this. And don't forget please that Snook, the Ohio girl-murderer had a doctor's degree! ,
The reasoning and assertions found in this leaflet are so un- inspiring and dogmatic as to be positively nauseating. Dr. Kress simply says things and expects one to believe—there are no authori- ties of note quoted—the whole thing is done in a most unscientific, ,-md unconvincing manner.
We quote—"Their (cigarette smokers) judgment is not reliable.",
"Cigarette smokers"—claims this astounding leaflet—"disregard Hie rights of others. He becomes less courteous, less orderly, and less careful in regard to personal cleanliness and dress and—Less Stu- dious."
Don't you just love that last crack?
We have positive proof that the Most Orderly, the Most Careful in regard to personal cleanliness and dress and the Most Studious student Alfred has had in a long while, was a very constant smoker.
This individual last year graduated from Alfred—SUMMA CUM LAUDE!—than which there is no higher honor.
Another leader—honors in scholastics—captain of a sport and editor-in-chief of the 19— Kanakadea was an inveterate smoker. We could go on thus endlessly if space permitted.
"What good does smoking do you?" is the cry of these National Temperancers who put out such tripe. Well, what good does eating meat do you?—we might say along with the National American As- sociation of Vegetarians. What good does an ice-cream soda do you—
along with the National American Association Against the Drinking of Ice-Cream Sodas. What good does eight hours of sleep a night do you?—along with Thomas Edison and the Association for the For- biddance of more than Four Hours Sleep a night, etc., ad nauseam.
This vapid sheet also states that, "It is well known that young criminals are practically all cigarette addicts." One long cheer boys --doesn't that last just gripe you—we're in stiches ourselve. Why of
course, "It is well known that most young criminals have ears—
You have ears—We have ears—that proves it—WE'RE CRIMINALS.
'Why continue ? The goblins will get you if you don't watch out.
We regret that lack of space prohibits our going further into this noxious matter but stop—think and consider. If what this
"Holier than Thou" leaflet assents is true and it isn't—then Alfred's student body consists of lost souls and Alfred's faculty of high grade morons who after they have reached the age of thirty-five are "has- beens" and on the road to the reformatory or poorhouse. For that's where smokers go, says the National temperancers'.

INTERSORORITY GROUP TO SPONSOR DANCE AT
SOCIAL HALL, FEB. 14
The Women's Interfraternity Coun- cil is to sponsor an inter-sorority dance on February 14th, at the Social Hall.
Formal rushing will take place the first three weeks of the second semes- ter. Preference cards will be sent out on March 2nd, and must be re- turned by 6 P. M. March 6th, to Joseph Seidlin, who is acting as secre- tary to the Council. Formal bids will be sent out at noon, March 9th.
It is expected that next year sorority bidding will take place before Christ- mas, with open season the rest of the year. This change will eliminate the usual fall strain caused by a long drawn out rushing program.

Campus Court Convicts Five Miscreants
Five more miscreants were called before the stern eye of justice Wed- nesday evening.
Walter Abbey and Kenneth Leach, who failed to report for campus duty paid fines. Donald Crego plead guilty to smoking in the gym at- the "Bums' dance." Everett Curley, charged with the same offense, failed, unfortunate- I ly for him, to appear. Edward Cruskie, reported as not tipping his cap to upperclassmen at the post office, plead not guilty and his case was dismissed.
Editor Fiat Lux—
Dear Mr. Editor:
It seems to me that one of Alfred's Mid-Victorian customs ought to be changed. Entering Freshmen had to find it out for themselves whereupon they expressed a none too good opinion of it. It is that custom of ending all dances and social functions at. midnight.
It does not live up to Alfred's broad- minded and Student Government poli- cies which I believe it claims as its attributes. This ancient custom just shows how far behind Alfred falls in liberal-mindedness.
It is the cream of the jest that people of college age should be treated as being even younger than high school students. Local high schools would look with derision at this policy.
Is this rule an act of the student- body alone, Mr. Editor, or is it one that was passed with the great in- fluence of Alfred's higher autorities?
If the former, it does not correspond with the students views today, and if the latter, where does the Student Council begin to function? An over whelming majority of the students, now favor an extension of one hour at least. One o'clock should be the time for all fraternity and formal dances. I believe they are well-chap- eroned and the morals of the students would not be affected by an extension of only one hour. This rule is not echoing the sentiments of the stu- dents, but rather opposing them.
I write this, neither as a protest nor a condemnation, but with the wish for enlightenment. What are Alfred's views in regard to the social welfare of the students?
Yours truly,
"A Frosh".
ALFRED AGGIES DROP SECOND GAME
The Alfred Aggies dropped their second straight set-to of the new year at Lima Seminary last Wednesday by a 35-21 score. Lima took advantage of every scoring opportunity and put the game on ice with its foul shooting.
The Ag. School quintet forced Lima to score on long shots, which proved to be as simple a task as taking pot shots under the basket. Lewis was the only Alfred man to tally from the foul line. Fry, a former member of Cook Academy's national championship team, starred for Lima.
ALPHA TAU THETA IS NEW NAME OF ALPA TAU ALPHA
Because there is a national fraterni- ty which uses the greek letters Al- pha Tau Alpha, as its name, the Wo- man's Honorary Athletic Sorority has changed its name to Alpha Tau Theta.
FACULTY HOLDS INFORMAL DANCE IN SOCIAL HALL
