STUDENTS PAY ONLY 32 PER CT. COSTS FOR

HIGHER EDUCATION

Thirty-two per cent, of the income of American colleges and universities come from student fees has been shown by Trevor Arnett, president of the General Educational Board at an- nual Institute for Administrative Of- ficers of Institutions of Higher Learn- ing at the University of Chicago, last Summer. Mr. Arnett stressed the point that students ishould pay for a larger s'hare of their expenses in col- leges.

A college education now is primar- ily for the benefit of the individual, and for that reason he should pay its cost, Mr. Arnett said:

"Our earliest colleges," lie pointed out, "were founded in Colonial days for the purpose of providing an edu- cation for those intending to become ministers and teachers or to enter the other professions, where they couldi render a great service to the public at very little pecuniary reward to themselves. The public therefore was asked to provide the means of educating these students, with prac- tically no expense to themselves.

"Through the succeeding centuries the public has been asked to give large- ly to- the support of college education, on the principle that the public is the chief beneficiary, although statistics show that the purpose of college edu- cation has almost completely changed.

ATI inquiry conducted by one of the old colleges in the East makes the change of purpose evident. It devel- oped that 68 per cent, of the present graduates go into business and com- mercial pursuits.

"The public responds generously to the appeal for funds, for we are in- formed that college endowments in 1926 were over $978,000,000 and now are without doubt over $1,000,000,000, whereas* in 1900 they were approxi- mately $177,000,000, .a. growth of six times since 1900. I would not sug- gest curtailing the generous impulses

•of the public toward higher educa- tion, but I would suggest directing them into other channels in that field and ask them to provide endowment for graduate and research students and for scholarships and loan funds for the college Students whose finan- cial resources are meagre."

"The student of restricted means would not be excluded from college if tuition were made high enough to meet the entire oiperating cost," Mr.

Arnett said. Those unable to pay at the time they were in college could be added with loans or scholarships.

"Under the plan which I am propos- ing, many students would find it nec- essary to secure loans," he said. "I see no objection to this method of financing one's college education. The public might well provide the funds to be loaned and make possible a low rate of interest and a sufficiently long period for repayment. A self-respect- ing student, conscious of 'his own pur- pose and intellectual ability, and ap- preciating the advantages of a trained mind, would welcome the opportunity

•which is already so abundantly pro- -vided for self-help and would gladly assume a loan for the sum which he might need in addition to his earnings.

The amount involve* for tuition is not much greater ithan at present—iprob- ably $700 to $1,000 in all for the four- year course.

"Advantages of the pay-in-full prin- ciple would be many. The institutions would need to apipeal to the public for funds chiefly for graduate instruc- tion and research and for plant and

•equipment for undergraduate work.

Colleges would need to operate on an

•efflcienlt and economical basis, other- ContimiPd on Page Tnr^e

STUDENTS OBSERVE SCHUBERT WEEK IN

COLLEGE ASSEMBLY

To honor the memory of Franz Schu- bert, nineteenth century composer, Al- fred joined with the musical world in celebration of Schubert Week, by giving over Thursday's assembly pe- riod to a musical program. Professor Ray M. Wingate opened the period by giving a resume of the life and work of the "most melodious of composers,"

| and by comparing him with some of the composers of today. The reading of this paper on Schubert was intro- ductory to the singing of the compos- er's "Earl King" and "Hark! Hark!

j the Lark," by Professor Wingate, ac-

; companied by Professor Helen Heers at the piano.

The two selections, sung by Profes- sor Wingate brought out the beauty and moods of the Schubert classics, and were well interperted. Several other Schubert selections were heard on the Orthophonic, the finest and j most famous of which was "The Un-

| finished Symphony!" This, with its j four themes, showed the versatility of the musical moods of its master. The program was most impressive and

! well received.

Previous to the regular assembly,

!

the Alma Mater was sung by six Fresh-

! men girls, who had been sentenced by the Student Senate for not having : learned the song.

WOODSHOP ACCIDENT CAUSES WILBUR GETZ

SERIOUS INJURIES

Wilbur Getz suffered a painful in-

! jury at the local woodshop, when he

| had the tips of two fingers cut, Wed- nesday afternoon.

While working late to make up studies lost by his cross country trips, Getz was injured when the guide on fhe buzz saw jumped and the first and second fingers of his left hand

| were caught in the saw. He calmly shut off the power and put away his tools before walking to the Clawson

:

Infirmary.

First aid was administered by Su- , perintendent Lydia Conover and Miss Mary Clarke to stop the flow of blood j Dr. Raymond O. Hitchcock was called

and dressed the wounds.

Although Getz was discharged from : tile infirmary, Friday night, he was unable to make the trip to Buffalo to compete in the Niagara District A. A.

U. championship cross country meet.

KANAKADEA PLANS ARE PROGRESSING

Plans for the 1930 Kanakadea are progressing rapidly, according to re- ports made at the meeting of the staff last week. The office on the second floor of Kenyon Hall was opened last Wednesday. Group and individual pho- tographs "will be taken some time be- tween Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The staff is making its annual search

! for stunt pictures any of which turned

; into the staff will be greatly appre- ciated. Subscriptions are being soli- cited and may be given to representa-

• tives which have been appointed in each fraternity house.

PHI PSI OMEGA WILL ISSUE CERTIFICATES

Phi Psi Omega, local honorary ath- letic and scholastic fraternity is is- suing certificates of membership to all its members

¹

, alumni included.

Heretofor it has "been the fraternity's policy only to give pins to new mem- bers. From now on those initiated into Phi Psi Omega will receive a certifi- cate of membership in addition to the pin.

FORMER EDITOR GIVES OPINION

ABOUT FIAT LUX

Dighton G. Burdick, managing editor of the Fiat Lux, last year, has offered I the following opinion of the paper of

this year. His article is as follows:

Criticism from the pen of an ama- ture is at best little more than per- sonal opinion. However, one hears various shades of opinions expressed upon a variety of topics. When I was asked to criticize the Fiat Lux I felt as first reluctant and it is with con- siderable trepidation that I undertake the task lest I be misunderstood.

Every Tuesday night each student

| receives a copy of the Fiat Lux. Some j read the sport articles, some the hu- 'mor, some the poetry or the cartoons.

j Few read it all. How many Fiats find themselves reposing in a waste-paper basket Wednesday morning? Why?

Are the students to be blamed or is the paper? Is the paper progressive, does it meet the needs of the student body? Answer these questions for yourself. Everyone has a right to his own opinion, until someone can con- vince him to change it.

My purpose is not to change your opinion. My aim will be merely to analize and give my own opinion.

The Fiat Lux is in form a weekly newspaper published by the students of Alfred through their representa- tives on the Fiat staff. Positions on the staff are competitive so that the I ablest and steadiest workers are ad- I vanced from time to time to positions

| of responsibility as vacancies occur.

j A large number of heelers insure com-

| petition, and competition develops good writers who become in turn edit- ors and associates. Fiat keys are awarded for appropriate service to the staff. Thus briefly sketched is the or- ganization of the paper. The present staff consists of twenty members whose names appear in the masthead.

Another twenty competitors are work- ing diligently for promotion. Several details of organization have been ironed out and two new staff positions have been created this year. These are circulation manager, and advertis- ing manager, which were formerly in the department of the business man- ager.

The organizaton I think is quite competant. In fact this side of the paper deserves commendation, for dur- I ing the last four years beginning with ' the administration of Robert Boyce,

each editor has made progress until now the present editor is backed by one of the strongest organizations in the history of the paper. It might be observed in passing that the success of the Fiat depends upon the support which it receives from the student body just as does the success of an athletic team.

Since Alfred publishes no literary magazine the Fiat has to fulfil to the best of its ability this need as well as its proper function of news gather- ing. In the latter capacity it labors under difficulties for two reasons. It is a weekly, therefore its writeups are not strictly "news" many times when printed a week after they occur; and

| due to limitations placed upon the j time of the members of the staff, a I story to be printed must be written at I'least thirty-six hours before the Fiat goes to press. Why then do stories appear which are almost ancient his- tory. The answer is simple. The files of the Fiat in the library form a valu- able record, when all important events are covered.

•Every story cannot be expected to please every reader. It is here that the editor must use his head in select- ing from the copy submitted material

LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA

Leonard Hunting Reported Found

In Western City

Leonard M. Hunting, a Senior who disappeared from the local campus on Nov. 19, of last year, has been located in California.

A telegram from the missing student to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Irving Hunting at Plain- field, N. J., Saturday, disclosed that he is working in San Fran- cisco and is doing well. The parents told President Boothe C. Davis who saw them at the Seventh Day Baptist meeting in New York City, Sunday. A telegram was sent Ruth V.

Hunting, a sister in school here.

Following his disappearance, no word of his whereabouts was was k n o w n to parents or friends. On Nov. 7, of this year, a traveling man entered a confectionary store in San Francisco and started a conversation with the clerk who stated he was Leonard Hunting.

The man wrote to his daughter in New Haven, Conn., mentioning that he had met a son of an old friend.

Mr. Hunting was notified at Plainfield and he wrote to his son. Leonard replied with a short telegram.

Leonard Hunting left Alfred on Saturday, Nov. 19, 1927, with intentions to go to a Y. M. C. A. convention in Rochester. When he did not appear at the Theta Kappa Nu fraternity house the following- Monday, the college officials were notified. A thorough search was started. With the aid of the Bureau of Publicity, newspapers throughout the East carried stories of the missing student but no sign of him was found.

Word as to his future plans have not been received.

With a squad of 35 men, the Frosh basketball season looks promising Coach James McLane reports that tic will welcome any more fellows who wish to tryout.

Among those who were present there is good basketball material and with two weekly practices, it is hoped that there will be good results from this year's games.

The Freshmen have one game be- fore Christmas on December 21st. At this time they play Richburg here.

THANKSGIVING DAY BRINGS BACK ACTS

OF FORMER TIMES

Another year is at hand. Another year widens the breach between the Americans of today and the Pilgrim forefathers three hundred years ago.

The breach is only in time, however, for their sufferings, their deeds, their courage, and their perseverance are stamped indelibly on the minds.

The first Thanksgiving was cele- brated by the Pilgrims to give thanks to God for their successrui crops and to ask Him for future blessings of strength and health. The people, too, set aside this day for blessings which are innumerable. Did anybody ever stop to consider to those here at Al- fred University.

A Five Column Fiat

Wih this issue, the Managing Board of the Fiat Lux has decided to return to the five col- umn newspaper that was used before the ex- periment of the past two weeks. It would be too expensive to print. The average cost of the two issues was greater than could be af- forded by the financial returns from subscrip- tions and advertising.

As one of the main ends of the board this year is to put the paper back on a financial basis where there will be no deficit at the end of the school year, this plan of a larger paper seems out of the question.

The board is pleased with the favorable com- ment given by the student body, faculty and alumni to the'venture. It will seek some new means of improving the newspaper. Any sug- gestions will be welcome.

Their Son Prepares for College

Upon becoming a Freshman in high school he began to make thorough preparations for college. At the end of his first year he had amassed three hundred United Profit Sharing coupons which he promptly exchanged for a Bissel carpet sweeper. Tucking this under his arm he then combed the neighborhood for luck- less hoiisewives to whom he posed as a sales- man. This was the end of his second year, and his net account was thirty dollars in orders, a ten dollar tailor bill for sowing the seams of his trousers, a few hundred bruises, and an oceanful of cuss words in all modern and anti- quated languages.

After settling bills, etc., he invested the re- maining ten dollars in a horse and wagon and peddled ice, coal, and vegetables. With care-

The Saxons

The following letter was received by the editor last week following the editorial back- ing the plan of the Varsity " A " Club for the .selecting of an appropriate nick name for the teams of Alfred.

November 21, 1928 Mr. Warner Waid,

Editor Fiat Lux, Alfred, New York.

My dear Mr. Waid:

I was interested to note that you have sug- gested among other names "The Saxons" as an appropriate nick name for our athletic teams. I have long thought of that name as particularly appropriate, and have some years ago suggested it to the Athletic Association as an appropriate name.

Alfred University is the only college in this country, and I think in the world bearing the name of King Alfred the Great. His Saxon .-ace was a vigorous forceful people and he ,served as the most illustrious Saxon King. The name "Saxons" in connection with Alfred's teams would empnhasize our connection with the great Saxon King, and I think would be helpful to the college in many ways, as well as appropriate. I should be very glad to see the name adopted.

Very sincerely yours, Boothe C. Davis,

President.

fnl spending and lots of gypping he raised Ids bank account to thirty dollars. Once more he invested in an enterprise, this time a shot gun.

Then he hocked his suit for the price of ammu- nition and a pound of meat. The stage is now set so let's go on with the show.

Our hero threw the meat in his back yard.

Then he loaded the gun and nailed it to the window sill, aiming right at the meat. By means of a string and a system of pulleys the trigger and his big toe were joined. Our hero retires after tieing some cheese to the men- tioned toe. By four in the morning most of the neighborhood cats are attacking the meat. The now unmolested mice come forth and seek sub- stenance. The odor of the cheese predominates.

A half blind mouse bites the toe of the slum- bering Adonis and causes an immediate recoil which fires the gun and slaughters the cats.

It is now time for graduation. The subject for this story has an excellent racoon coat and so is all set for entrance to any of the larger universities. But, as he flunked his regents, our story ends here.

All-in-one it's Dun-by-gum.

FORMER EDITOR GIVES OPINION

ABOUT FIAT LUX

Continued from page one

to make the pages of the Fiat well balanced. Into what classifications does the material printed in the col- umns of the paper fall? Editorial, sports, campus news (organizations, etc.), social, humor, special feature, alumni, exchange news and cartoons are rough divisions.

For purposes of analysis it would be hardly fair to take either of the last two issues of the paper which will be commented upon later. Drawing a copy from my files a.t random I find the issue of October 30. The first page is divided as follows: 19 inches sports; 21 inches, feature articles; 19 inches forecast coming events; and 14 inches, campus news. Two thirds of the second page is editorial and a spirited poem occupies the remaining space beside a fine cartoon. The third page is wholly athletic. The fourth page is of social interest. How well does this balance?

There are six athletic events reported, six editorials, a poem, three conspicuous features and three social events besides fraternity notes and certain routine articles. For some reason or other there is no humor.

Whether there was none available or whether it was crowded out by other material is a mystery. But as a general rule almost everyone reads the

humor, and I trust I was not alone in my disappointment. There is also no alumni or exchange news this week. Perha.ps the greatest inconsis- tency is in the editorial column. Here one writer occupies approximately one fifth of the total space in the paper.

Another apparent policy of the present administration which differs wide- ly from that previously adheared to is in regard to the use of headlines. Com- pare any is;sue published this year with any of last year, and you will see what I mean. If the headwriter can show that the style which he is following is accepted by any large newspaper this criticism will lose its validity.

The particular issue used above for analysis lacks balance in head arrange- ment as well as in selection of material.

However, there are features which show advancement in policy, such as the weekly cartoon. Heretofore we have had occasionally some excellent work along this line. It remained for the present staff to realize the worth of including this talent in a regular feature.

In commenting on the last two issues of the paper, which were an experiment to see whether the Fiat could be enlarged, two things were revealed. First that there was sufficient available news, and second that there was not enough money available.

There are .perhaps1 several solutions.

One would be to increase the subscription. The other was hinted at earlier. A separate publication which

would be literary in nature might be established which would leave the

\ Fiat the field of news alone.

FROM WELLSVILLE

Minus the services of several first string men Alfred University's Frosh

! lost to Wellsville High School football team on Saturday afternoon at the latter's field by a score of 20 to 0, Sat- urday.

Wellsville scored two touchdowns on line plunges and another on a re- verse play in the third quarter. Al- fred's team made several galant at- tempts to score, but to no avail. The Purple and Gold team scored more i first downs than the Wellsville' eleven.

Bernard Brettschnieder, acting cap- tain for Alfred's team was injured in the last quarter, however, he played the full game. He, Nate Kahn, Lew Oibourn and Wallace Clark starred on the defense for the Frosh. The Frosh tried few forward passes from Obourn to Bert Chubib.

ZSCHIEGNER FIRST

SPORT LIGHTS

Two Seniors did not hand in their shoes but with three other harriers journied to Buffalo, Saturday, to ca.p- ture the Niagara District, A. A. U.

cross country race with the low score of 30 points.

In one of the most thriling finishes ever seen in Buffalo, Chick Zschiegner, after trailing Frank Wendling, the called forth his reserved power, to former title holder, for near five miles, pass the leader and to win by about 20 yards. Wiendling gave a fight for first place, but could not match the speed of the collegiate star. Zschieg- ner's time was 28 min. 54 2-5 sec. for the five and one-tenth miles.

Boulton and May, the two Seniors trotted in, tieing for fourth place. Ga- lizio, showing a. wonderful sprint at the finish, moved up to ninth place.

Vance, running fifth man, captured eleventh.

The Buffalo Central YMCA, winners of last year, took second place fol- lowed by the Dearborn Baraca of Buffalo.

Order of finish:

1. Emil Zschiegner, Alfred 2. Frank Wendling, K. of C.

SOPHS WIN ANNUAL GRID GAME 26-0

FROM FROSH TEAM

This Fall's athletic season has brought home three trophies and has given Alfred quite a boost. Cross coun-

: try Purple jumped up three places in the conference rating. The total football score is equal to the total of the past four years. If anyone likes a ] successful season, why not pick tnis

; one?

But now is the time to begin sav- ing your gray .hairs for next Fall The senior class is leaving a big gap in both Cross Country and football that will be hard to fill However, with reserve material stepping in and the development of the remaining varsity athletes, football should stay on an even keel, while cross country will not suffer as much as the fans are led to believe.

The folks back home claimed that

! the harriers did not have a chance in the Senior A. A. U. race a week ago. Compare their times with the Middle Atlantics run and remember that the big race was won, the day before, keeping in mind the fact that it was the third meet of a five day trip. Think it over and guess again.

A good Frosh team is not neces- sarily required for the Varsity in any sport. The next best thing is the appearance of a few outstanding ath- j letes and that is what is happening ] (thanks to the Sophs), in basketball and track this year. This saves

! coaches from building up teams ', every three or four years.

Many fatalists firmly believe that I everything happens for the best.

When Wilbur Getz hurt his hand last week, he should have been thankful that it wasn't one of his fast-stepping feet.

VARSITY LOSES TO ALLEGHENY 27 TO 0

IN LAST CONTEST

An inspired Allegheny College team defeated Alfred in its final game, 27 to 0 on a mushy field at the Allegheny Stadium in Meadville, Pa., Saturday afternoon. The fleet-footed, hard hit- ting backfield of the Allegheny team p]oughed through for four touchdowns.

The Varsity team played hard but failed to make consistant gains. Many fumbles on the part of the Purple ham- pered its chances.

Garback scored in the first two minutes of play for six points and reg- istered the extra point on receiving a forward .pass. Varano plunged over in the second period. McKay added a touchdown in t h e third quarter fol- lowed toy another t>y Berger in the

•nightcap period. Clark of Alfred was I tackled behind the goal line when he picked up a punt in the last quarter to score a safety for the Pennsyl- I va.nia team.

Voorhies, after playing the best brand of football in his college career, suffered a wrenched knee in the fourth period and had to be taken from play.

| wise their fees, in comparison, with those of others better administered, | would be looked upon unfavorably, and they would suffer from competi-:

tion.

"Parents and .students would get' a clear understanding of what a col- i lege education costs, and since they •

would have to pay the full cost, would appreciate it more. The colleges should be quite as democratic as they are now and no one would be excluded for financial reasons if sufficient loan and scholarship funds were provided, as the plan contemplates."

The graduate student would not be required to ipay the full cost of his education, Mr. Arne'tt said, because of his contribution to society, although in some professional schools j the student would pay all or the major j part of the cost.

COLLEGE SONG BOOKS Words and Music VICTROLAS—RECORDS

ALFRED MUSIC STORE

Interclaas rivalry was resumed last Wednesday on Merrill Field when the Frosh succumbed to a far superior Sophomore eleven by a 26-0 score. The yearlings seemed hopelessly outclassed and at no time were they in any position to score.

The first score came in the initial minute of play. The even classmen received the kickoff on their 25 yard line and promptly proceeded to punt.

Staiman, bandages and all, calmly re ceived the kick and proceeded to charge 65 yards behind excellent in- terference for a touchdown. The same procedure was repeated and the Sophs received a short punt on their oppo- nents' 35 yard mark.. Then on the second down, MacFadden rounded end for another score and raised the total to 13 by kicking the goal.

There was a lull in the scoring for a few minutes until Kickham carried a pass to the ten yard line. Two line bucks then saw MacFadden cross the goal line again to chalk up a 19-0 total as the quarter ended.

Chubb and Lockwood went in during the second quarter, while Staiman, Clark, and MacFadden sought the warmth of the Field House. The Sophs then fumbled the ball through a score- less period and the Frosh were unable to gain through the line.

The odd classmen presented their full strength in the third period and worked the bal ldown to the 8 yard mark to give Sfcaiman another touchdown. The Frosh were offside on the kick-for-goal play and were penalized for the extra point.

The yearlings received the kickoff and Keats carried -the ball to his 40 yard line. The Sophs held for downs and Crisafulli punted short, and the ball once more rested on the four yard line.

During the rest of the game, each side held the other between the five and ten yard line until, with two min-

utes to play, DeLaney intercepted a pass and took it 30 yards before he was downed. The Sojihs held and then made another first down as the whistle blow.

Comments of the Sphinx

It's bad when swear words oft sully Our language so otherwise bully;

In football, my dears, We must cover our ears

When we hark to our star Crisafulli.

While in wrestling there's lots of ex- plaining,

In holds and in methods of training;

Says Rudy D'Elia,

"You men I'll inspire—

From dates I shall now start refrain- ing"
