DISCUSSION OF MENTAL AHITUDES
ANNOUNCED AS CHAPE PROGRAM
Monday—Chaplain McLeod talked on the subject, "Overcoming Evil with Good". It is always by a principle of addition that our spiritual problems are solved. If one could only plant a few fresh graces in his soul, per- haps as those lovely growths prosper, the vices that molest us would vanish of! their own accord. Chaplain Mc- Leod illustrates this by tbe planting of willows beside a stream to rid it of troublesome weeds.
Tuesday—Prof. Bennett gave us a talk on "The Pursuit of Truth". The text was "Ye shall follow the truth
JUNIORS' DECIDE TO PUBLISH KANAKADEA
At the Junior class meeting held last week, it was decided that Kanakadea would be published.
the UP to this time the fact that it would be published was doubtful, due to finan- cial difficulties. The Junior Follies were discussed along with the Junior Prom. Although a definite date has been set for the Junior Prom, it is still doubtful as to whether it will take place. The Junior yearly ban-

VARSITY QUINTET TO MEET BUFFALO
In all scientific research the purpose is to discover the truths. Truth is relative and progressive.
Wednesday—Prejudice is the curse of every age. It is an instrument of death which destroys not only the thing which it apposes, "but also the one who wields the weapon. It is the one great obstacle to world friendship.
It generates hatred, and slays the spirit of human brotherhood. There is a cure for prejudice, "Come and See". Prejudice thrives on ignorance.
Where men are willing to submit their philosophies, creeds, and dogmas to the light of truth, prejudice will lose its sting, and ignorance its vic- tories.
Thursday—Have you noticed how often the remark "life is like that,"
is heard? When things are not going just right, and all ones friends seem to fail, then it is that this remark
is made. It is almost like saying, "It | tory will be greatly enhanced, is all wrong, t u t what can one ex- Niagara will probably be even more

LAST MINUTE SPURT INSURES
27-21 VICTORY FOR ROCHESTER
With a new system of play and a re- juvenated quintet on the floor, Alfred's varsity turned in two successive vic- tories over Hobart and Clarkson only to bow before a powerful Niagara five during the past week. The victories were the first this season for the Pur- ple and pulled the team out of the
cellar in the Little Ten Conference race. Hobart now has the distinction of holding down this lowly position.
On Tuesday night at Geneva, the Saxons launched a spectacular offense against Hobart and registered their first win of the season with a 24-20 score. Although Alfred obtained an early advantage, Hobart came back to lead at half-time by the slim margin of one point, the score being 10-9. At the opening of the final period the Al- fred team found the rim for eight points before Hobart could tally. With
( this lead the visitors remained out J front for the remainder of the game.

FOOTLIGHT CLUB
PLAYS AT KEUKA
Friday afternoon the members of the cast "Skidding" left for Keuka Col- lege to produce the play there. Dur- 1 ing tea several of the girls of the j college entertained with singing and dancing.
Before the curtain went up on the first act "Sox" Bassett, "Shorty" Me- j Court, George Monks and "Lou" j Obourn entertained the audience by harmonizing on several tunes includ- ing "Tiger Rag" and "Sweet Lue".
After the play, which was very favorably received, the college and its guests including the members of the cast went to the dinner. At ten Sat- urday morning the group left to re- turn to Alfred.

experience, the Frosh are developing J into a smooth efficient organization.
Java received a sprained ankle in the Rochester game, but it is likely that he will see action in this game. Cap- tain Adessa predicts a hard fighting Freshman team that will give the Normal School team stiff competition.
Playing on their home court the Geneseoans will have a slight edge over Alfred. This should not daunt the Frosh and they should come home with the long end of the score.
FRENCH CLUB ORGAN- IZED BY PROFESSORS |
On Wednesday evening, Feb. 17th, | the French Club held their firs.t meet-j ing in the Brick parlors.
The new members were welcomed by the president, Georgiana Kennedy, and then the charter members, Marie Fleischhauer, Lola Sheetz and Georgi- ana Kennedy presented several topics of interest on the aims of the club, and on the connections between France and the United States. The meeting was then adjourned.
The date of the next meeting will be announced later, since difficulty is being experienced in finding a time open to all members.
The club was organized under the auspices of Miss Ford and Miss Cheval The members are Georgiana Kennedy, president; Virginia Richter, vice president; Marie Fleischhauer, secretary; Lola Sheetz, treasurer;
Adee Nordenstedt, Mrs. Landis, Laura Williams, Jay Rv.skind, BWabia She- heen, Charles Bur*^c_k, Dorolby Ravit, . Sftotts Ruth Norwood, Georgiana DeWitt, Elsie Bonnett, Lucile Als- worth, Frances Wells, Ruth Kenyon and Grant Conderman.
ST. PATRICKS DANCE
The annual Women's Student Gov- ernment dance will this year take the form of a St. Patrick's dance. It will be given Thursday, March 10th, in the Davis Gym. The music will be furnished by the Saxon Serenaders.
Subscription is to be seventy-five cents for couples and fifty cents for stags. The proceeds of this dance are to go into the W. S. G. treasury.
Chairmen of committees are as fol- lows: Marie Fleischauer, music;
Agnes Rutherford, publicity; and Georgianna Kennedy, refreshments.
In the closing minutes of play, Ro- chester's Frosh spurted to win over the Saxon yearlings 27-21, last Sat- urday evening, at the River Campus gymnasium. Exeter, star forward of the Rochester Freshmen, played a brilliant game which netted the "Flow- er City" quintet 14 points and victory.
Hanson drew first Wood for Al- fred at the opening whistle when he cut to receive a pass from Adessa for a goal. A field goal and a foul by Exeter gave Rochester the lead which they maintained throughout the game.
Spasmodic rallies by the Purple and Gold succeeded in tieing the score but never returned the lost lead.
Fast cutting and organized passes netted the Home quintet a steadily mounting scoring column. At half- time the score stood 13-12 in favor of the Rochester yearlings.
During the third quarter, both teams fought to acquire a substantial lead.
The Saxon's sterling defense success- fully warded off all attacks of their opponents, who were forced to re- main at mid-court. As the quarter progressed, both teams resorted to field goals in securing points. The period ended with Rochester still maintaining a small margin.
Rochester opened the final period with a pass to Exeter for a basket.
Lee, then moved quickly up from guard position for a similar score.
On this play, Java, who played a beautiful game at guard, was forced to the 'bench by a turned ankle. Fol- lowing this, Exeter cut loose to score two more baskets and to guarantee the "Flower City" team victory.
They then froze the ball to end the game.

SIGMA CHI NU PARTY
The members of Sigma Chi Nu So- rority entertained eighteen freshmen at their rush party Thursday night.
The atmosphere of the house was created to represent an "Alice in Wonderland" setting. Scenes with which we have been familiarized thru, the fairy story were depicted through- out the house: "The Rabbit Hole"
and "Topsy Turryland" were empha- sized in the decorative scheme.
Many familiar characters were pres- ent: Alice, Queen of Hearts, The Mad Hatter, Tweedledum and dee and Rab- bit. The freshmen girls were dressed as children while their hostesses repre- sented members of the Card Family.
Mary K. Day presented a puppet show as a special feature of entertain- ment. Other forms of entertainment were games, a treasure hunt and dancing.
The guest list included: Marjorie Armant,- Lucile Bailey, Thelma Bra- sted, Roberta Clarke, Marion Clemens, Hilda Crandal, Mary Curry, Barbara Galton, Georgia Grow, Kathleen John- son, Janet La Due, Margaret Lloyd, Jane Messimer, Ruth Norwood, Thel- ma Redmond, Margaret Sease, and Mildred Tasker.

By definition, an education is the result of education, as de- termined by the knowledge, skill, or discipline of character, ac- quired. Its purpose, to quote Spencer, "To prepare us for complete living is the purpose which education has to discharge". Thus it follows that an education is truely valuable only insofar as it is an actual preparation for actual living, whether it be earning a living or enjoying it.
Although there is apt to be a degree of correlation between the grades which an individual receives and the degree of edu- cation which he possesses, this one relation in the majority of modern educational institutions is overstressed. Perhaps it is be- cause the public that is being educated desires it, certainly a portion demands it.
However it would take more than the old Greek orators' facility of mind and range of language and logic to adaquately prove the point that an individual receiving an "A" or "B" in a particular course is just exactly so much better fitted for living than the individual who received a "D" or an "F". The first reason that comes to mind is that a low grade in an exam may be due to any- thing from burnt toast to a letter. A low grade in a course may be due to details of personality of teacher and student that do not happen to click. And if all toast was done to a turn, and the mail was agreeable and the personalities of students and professors were harmonious just how significant would indices b e !
College Dances
One of the desires expressed by the student body was for more frequent all-college dances. There was the demand to be filled and so on Saturday night Phi Sigma Gamma sponsored a party.

Do you want all-college dances or don't you? The lack of in- terest as indicated by the scarcity of people does not tend to en- courage any other organization to back a dance. If you want dances and they are provided for you, support them,
want to go why do you demand them? If you don't A. P. C.

There has been much talk on the campus as to the whys and where- fores of the recent freshman class meetings. The junior cass, it seems to me, has a meeting at least once a week and yet one never hears rumors pervading the campus as to the cause for these numerous meetings.
Lest any false tales be carried in regard to the frosh meetings it was agreed upon to let the entire campus in on their secret.
The meetings of the past two weeks have been called in regard to Student Senate in regard to freshman attire.
This the firm belief of the entire class that the traditional custom of mak- ing the freshman feel his lowliness must at some time cease. They feel that at some time or other these frosh rules will be done away with, and if so "why not now". Their means of gaining their ends are not to be brazen and totally disregard rules, but merely as a sign of pro- gress, (and universities, I am told, are institutions in which progress pros- pers) they feel that by submitting a petition to the Student Senate from the class which though the largest has the least say on the campus, due of course to their lack of experience and their youth, that their wishes will not be entirely -disregarded. They hope that the petition will be given due consideration and that the "mark- ed" class shall be no longer so.
* To satisfy the curiosity of some and to encourage the assistance of upper class men and women we are printing a copy of the petition, which was submitted to the Student Senate.
We, the undersigned, representing the class of 1935, respectfully submit the following petition. This present- ed in a spirit of fair play and with a desire to witness real and thorough co-operation among all of the students at Alfred University who are vitally interested in the future welfare and growth of Alfred.
1. Whereas, the present regula- tions respecting the wearing of black hose, black ties, and freshman caps tends to humiliate the self-respecting freshman and thereby defeats the aims of co-operation to .be gained through actual team-work we petition that the period be shortened and that the regulations read, "Till after Thanksgiving Day of the first semes- ter," instead of as in Article Two, sub- sections one, three, four and eleven, as printed in the Alfred College Hand- book of 1931-1932, and that such re- vision affect immediately the present freshman class.
2. Whereas, the present financial conditions make it imperative that we watch judiciously the expenditure of every cent and, whereas, the Campus Court fines actually total in definite instance more money than can be af- forded, we petition that the regular or assessed fine of fifty cents at each appearance at the Campus Court be abolished, and that if necessary some more fitting type of punishment be meted when and if the student is actu- ally found guilty.
We respectfully urge that the Stu- dent Senate give the above their earliest consideration.
Committee.
The new Kanakadea will add an- other volume to the records of Al- fred's history, making 27 volumes.
By popular acclaim a yearbook is established, and by popular request it is made as nearly as possible to represent the activities of groups and individuals on the campus. This fact makes you the owners of the book, and gives to each one of you a value translated by a record of your's and your fellows' college life. Therefore, as a record, and as article of future value in bringing back the past with the accuracy of written word over oral expressions of faulty memory, the yearbook is demanded.
A ship without a log would resolve itself into a guessing game, an organ- ization without minutes would be weak, man without recorded history would ge lost.
But the importance, and the success of the yearbook lies not entirely in
the hands of the editor or the busi- ness manager, but largely with you, as students. And since it is your de- mand for a book, it is to you to make possible a yearbook by your volun- tary co-operation. In other words, if you wish to have a book, it is you who must stand back of it. In no other way can you have what you desire.
Interested If the world had the deadly indif- ference of Alfred, there would be no j more wars. This slot'hful lack of in- terest has got hold of Alfred and pervades every part of our college life. It is the chief obstacle to any undertaking of teacher, organization, or student.
Call it disinterest in any thing out- side the person, or better, call it self- interest, or rather, leave out the interest, and call it thoughtless sel- fishness.
In itself, this indifference is not to be condemned, for such an attitude is personal. But as soon as such a mental reaction affects others, the fault is to be censured. But the worst aspect of the damning indignity which this deadly indifference commits, is its exasperating inconsistency.
Its exponents come to college, sup- posedly for an education, but immedi- ately develop toward the teachers and toward organization of any kind, an antagonistic attitude, antagonistic in the sense of being disinterested. The teachers have to fight continually against this indifference. The stu- dents demand an education, they in- sist upon social advantages, and facili- ties for entertainment, yet they refuse tc remain otherwise than indifferent toward realizing them. And it is be- cause they demand those things for themselves which they are not will- ing to pay for, that this complacent unconcern becomes an offensive be- havior.
Ask a teacher, inquire of a coach, question an officer of an organization, and he will tell you that one of his main problems is this complacent dis- regard, this entire lack of interest, this complete indifference toward the outcome.
Then ask yourself, "Am I a victim of this deadly indifference? Do I sit back and make wise-cracks, and selfish demands, in return for which I offer nothing but my own idolent insensibility? Am I just a baby, who depends upon the family, or some fond protector, to pull me out of anything which may happen?
I personally believe that this is the greatest problem on the campus to- day, this student attitude, and it might do somebody a little good to begin thinking about it.

MAT SQUAD TO MEET LARRYS HERE SAT.
The wrestling meet between St.
Lawrence and Alfred at Alfred which was pending definite booking for last Saturday night will in all probability be ©taged this Saturday night in thej Davis Track ana Field House at Al- fred.
St. Lawrence brings down a strong aggregation which has caused trouble for all their opponents so far this season and can be relied upon to give Alfred a great battle.

ALFRED vs. NIAGARA
Continued from page one Young each garnered sixteen points during the fray to divide scoring hon- ors.
While the visitors were the best team on the floor, Alfred put up a stub- j born battle and at half-time the Falls City team lead only 21-15. Alfred's effectiveness was checked somewhat when Clark went out of the game via the foul route and Gagliano followed in the same way a little later. In the final frame Scully and Swietzer went on a scoring spree to put the visitors in a comfortable position and clinch the game.
Press humorists are impatient for the New York professor, who said j whistling is the sign of a moran to have a further thought.

INTERSCHOLASTIC M A N A G E R CALLS
F O R ASSISTANTS
For the last twenty-three years, the Alfred Olympiad, more commonly known as the Interscholastic Track and Field Meet, has been held in the spring under the careful guidance of a capable manager. This position is of such importance that the duties accomplished determine the success of the meet.
The annual spring event has attract- ed high schools ifrom all parts of New York and Pennsylvania, and has won much favor in promoting good sportsmanship.
Tihe manager is the sole executive in such an enterprise and the work undertaken is purely independent from any outside source.
For the first time in the history of this event, the competitive schools will be classed in an A or B group, according to the male registration of the school. This will help to place the teams on a more competitive level, thus giving the small high school a more even chance.
It is necessary for a manager to have Jiad some previous experience in this type of work. In order to facilitate work for the future, a call is being issued .by Eugene Guinter, present interscholastic manager, for four competitive assistants. It is pre- ferable that the competitors are juniors, so that the term of service will occur in the senior year.
