THIS YEAR'S KANAKA- DEA TO BE BEST EVER
Staff Hard at Work
SEVERAL NEW FEATURES
That the 1924 Kanakadea Is to be the best in its history is the belief of the Junior class.
Ernest Eaton, editor-in-chief for this year's Kanakadea is diligently work- ing on the new year book. It is to em- body all of the better qualities of its predecessors with the addition of sev- eral new features which are to be the great features of the new volume. In addition to the work of the editor W.
A. Preische, the photographer, is put- ting forth every effort to have the photographs and stunt pictures of a superior quality.
It is certain that Miss Katherine Neuweisinger, as art editor, assisted by Miss (Fredora Moore, will ably handle this section of the book, and that the art work of the '24 book will be inferior to none.
Paul V. Johnson, who is caring for the financial end of the book, is se- curing an additional amount of adds this year, which means that more money will be spent on the book.
Under the able direction bf the above staff there is little doubt that Alfred will have a year book second to none, at least in quality if not in size.

SENATE MEETING OCT. 24
In view of the evidence stated by Walter Renwick that he had already performed freshman duties in another college, it was agreed that he be ex- cused from wearing the freshman cap and from observing freshman rules.
Notice to that effect was given him.
Motion was made and carried that the Hallowe'en party be postponed for one week. The date arranged for is Nov. 4th.
Adjournment.
PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR MAINDER OF SEASON
Plowing through deep, stiff mud, against a heavy cold gale, which chill- ed runners and spectators alike, the Alfred runners pushed Hamilton's far more experienced team over the Hamilton course in the second best time in its history, losing by a score of 20-35.
Although the Alfred team came out second best it deserves great credit for the showing it made. Hamilton has one of the strongest teams in the state, and one that has run together for several seasons. The mere fact
| that the course, which was muddy, was covered within 30 seconds of its fast- est record should demonstrate the fact that Hamilton had no walk-away.
"The entire Alfred squad made an exceptional showing for a team without any racing experience, and I feel great- ly encouraged over prospects for a winning team," says "Doc" Ferguson.
The order of finishing was as fol- lows: ' 1. Thompson, 2, VanHoesen, 3.. Yeats, 4. Clark of Hamilton, 5.
Navin, 6. Wood, 7. Lyons, 8. Borden, 9. Cole, 10. Smith, Button, Caiman, Arnold of Alfred.
On Friday, November 10, the purple runners will meet Hobart on the Al- fred course. Hobart has a strong aggregation, having defeated Colgate 25-30. "Doc" Ferguson's men should give Hobart some good, strong opposi- tion in this meet as they will, by that time, have had two additional weeks of practice and the experience of running against one of the strong- est teams in the state.
On Friday, Nov. 3, the freshmen war- riors will meet Hornell high school,

Next Friday the Alfred Varsity meets Niagara on the Alfred field.
This is the third of the four home games that Alfred plays and it should be a victory for her.
So far this year Alfred has won two games, tied two and lost two.
That is an even break so that Friday's game has a double meaning.
Although football dope cannot be re- lied upon, still there is some con- solation in comparing the scores.
Clarkson Tech won from Buffalo 18-0 while Alfred defeated U. B. 6-0. Clark- son Tech also defeated Niagara 7-0.
Since these games Alfred has been improving steadily, and has the ad- vantage (to use one of Coach Wes- becher's favorite terms) of playing in her own backyard. Taking everything into consideration, Alfred has more than an even chance to win.
There has been only one change in Alfred's line up since the last home game and it is still a matter of con- jecture how the varsity will line up
for Friday's game, but it will prob- ably be as follows:

into Alfred's teritory by two or three long punts, Hamilton opened up a ter- rific attack on the line. Gaining con- sistently she carried the ball to Al- fred's fifteen yard line. Alfred took a brace, here, and three more tries netted but five yards. On the fourth down, Hamilton attempted a drop kick which went but a foot to the left of the goal posts.
"Scotty" Ahern was out of the game on account of a sprained ankle re- ceive in scrimmage, Thursday after- noon.
First quarter—
Alfred kicked beyond the Hamilton goal. From the 20 yard line Hamilton carried the ball for 3 yards through right tackle. On the next play Ham- ilton lost on a plunge through center, however another plunge through cen- ter netted the required ten yards and gave the buff and blue a first down.
An \end run Jost ground and two tries at the line gained but little.
Hamilton kicked to Alfred's 35 yard yard mark. McConnel skirted right end for a 6 yard gain, a play through right tackle netted 2%, and R. Camp- bell plowed through center for the first down. Two more line plunges failed to gain ground for the purple

Third quarter—
Hamilton kicked to the Alfred 15 yard mark. Line plunges yielded nothing and Alfred punted. Hamilton made three successive first downs by a series of line plunges and end runs.
The ball went to Alfred when a drop- kick failed to tally. Both R. Camp- bell and Witter failed to pierce the Hamilton line, and Gardner punted to mid-field. Alfred was penalized 5 yards for being off-side, but held for downs a double exchange of punts gave the oval to Hamilton in mid- field.
Fourth quarter—
A series of line plunges netted two first downs but here the purple line held. Hamilton kicked and on the first play McConnell went through cen- ter for a gain of seven yards but on the next play lost, and an exchange of punts gave Alfred the ball on Ham- ilton's 20 yard line. Hamilton re- covered an Alfred fumble, and after three attempts at the line, kicked.
The ball went to Alfred on the 35 yard mark where the game ended.

Lewis Gaynor, ex '24, now a student at the Rochester Business Institute was a visitor in Alfred last Saturday and Sunday.
Ray Tuttle '22 arrived in Alfred last Wednesday noon and spent the week- end visiting friends.
Mrs. R. E. Swanson (Isabel Emer- son, A. U. '21) spent the week-end with her parents at Hornell. "Butch"
Swanson '21, is now located on a farm near Dunkirk, N. Y.
A. K. Getman, Specialist in Agri- cultural Education in the State De- partment, was a visitor in Alfred last Wednesday. Mr. Getman has charge of the Agricultural Schools and High Schools teaching Agriculture. While in Alfred, he held a conference with the Ag School faculty and discussed means of simplifying and making more uniform the curriculum of the different schools in the state.
Prof. Camenga has returned from Montoursville, Pa., where he purchas- ed for the School a Perfection Brine Freezer, which the ice cream class is installing in the dairy building. Since last year, Prof. Camenga has been im- proving the dairy equipment of the school and the addition of the Brine Freezer will do much towards making the ice cream course more practical and up to date.
Charles Barry, Duane Anderson, Robert Brown, "Si" Brookins and
"Jack" Cornwell attended the annual Conference of the Theta Gamma Fra- ternity at Delhi, N. Y., last Saturday.
They made the trip by auto. While at Delhi, they made a trip of inspec- tion through the State School of Agri- culture at that place. C. 0. DuBois is Director of that School.
C. L. C. A. meeting last Sunday night was in charge of Mrs. Clarke.
Prof. Smith spoke on the advantages of the Y. M. C. A. in regard to the companionship, the Athletics and the cultivation of good habits. Mrs. Clarke then spoke on the great need of Chris- tian Endeavor both in school life and in the rural communities. The ques- tion of joining the college in the Y. M.
and Y. W. was brought up and several expressions from the students as- sembled were heard.
Sing A Song Of Farming (A flat)
Sing a song of cities. That's no place for me;
What I -want is greater room, sky so big and blue,
Now and then a pesky hen,—with calves and horses too.
CHORUS
I've been working like a farmer all the livelong day,
Farming is my occupation, here I hope to stay.
Tumble into bed so early, rest me there till dewy morn;
Waiting then with eager longing for the dinner horn.
Raise a crop, then sell it; milk the gentle kine,
Shovel out the silage; slop the cheer- ful swine.
House is full of furniture, carpets on the floor;
Spend the money in the bank, then go and earn some more.
CHO.
Farming aids digestion, curing all your ills, ,
Farming pays the taxes and the other bills,
Everywhere there's farming, where there's earth and sky; —
When all other jobs have failed, then farming you should try.

Assembly Notes
The Junior class, under Crandall, took charge of assembly last Tuesday morning. Prof. Norwood gave an in- teresting talk on "The Functions of the Christian Association." He said that it was to help the students ad- just themselves to the new life they find at College, to find new com- panions and get new ideas. The Y.
M. C. A. acts as a balance wheel in our lives to steady the students in their school life and to help them to think in the right way. It also helps to make the most important choices in life and acts as a steadying influence.
By joining the College Christian Or- ganizations with those of the Ag School, Prof. Norwood said that it would unify the campus and allow the College students and faculty to become better acquainted with those of Ag School. After Prof. Norwood's talk Miss Terry played "Humoresque" on the piano. Mr. Crandall urged the students to think over the matter of joining forces and in the near future a vote will be taken from the student body to settle his long debated ques- tion.
At Friday Assembly the question of joining the C. L. C. A. with the Y.
M. and Y. W. was settled by vote of the student body and faculty, who decided that the C. L. C. A. shall be a separate organization. All Ag stu- dents are urged to meet in Ag School every Sunday night.
The last issue of the Fiat gave a write-up of the Ag Frosh-Junior foot- ball game but the line up was omitted.
Probably many of the students would like to know the line up. It is there- fore being printed this week. Both teams are practicing hard and it is expected that they will play off the tie, in order that the Seniors may challenge the winners. Following is the line up:

An interesting talk was given by Mr. Preische last Sunday evening in the Y. M. rooms, his topic being "The Other Fellow.".
He laid particular stress on the spirit of true friendship which every- one on the campus should possess.
"Anyone, no matter who, always has something of worth to impart to his fellow student," he said.
After discussing the topic some se- lections were sung and the meeting was closed by short prayers.
ASSEMBLY
The Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A.
started their $1600 drive with a pro- gram in Assembly Wednesday morn- ing.
Miss Genevieve Kilbury outlined the plan of campaign and explained that this drive would take care of raising the necessary funds for the entire year.
Edward Teal discussed the value re- ceived from a trip to Silver Bay.
Miss Edith Teal explained the need of an international mind, that the edu- cation of the future depended upon the future being physically and in- tellectually strong.
President Davis described Roberts College in Constantinople and the great work being done there by Ameri- can citizens. He also told of an Ai- Alfred scholarship that is being main- tained in that college.
Mr. Lester, the county Y. M. super- intendent, spoke briefly on the work of the Y. M. C. A.
As a part of the program, Benj. Volk skillfully played, Knieslin's "Indian Lament" and Souwenir's "Wun- vowski."
Country Life
Last Tuesday night, the Country Life Club held a business and social meeting. Preceeding the business meeting a short program was given.
Mr. Sheldon gave a vocal solo which was well received. Miss Thornton gave a reading from the Mennonite Maid. Miss Thornton's reading was well given but the topic was not big enough to show the tone qualities of the reader. The story was a continu- ation of last week's program and at times the plot was very monotonous.
McMahon gave the Country Life News along with several jokes that made the most sober listener crack a smile.
After this program, the business meet- ing was held. Nominations for new officers were made and the results of the elections were, Lloyd Reed, presi- dent; McMahon, vice president; Eliza- beth Stowe, Secretary and Treasurer.
Following the elections, Jack Corn- wall led the Club in cheers for the new officers. Mr. Reed made a short but very effective speech after tak- ing office.

ALFRED ON THE APPROVED LIST
A letter has recently been received from the department of education of Michigan which states that Alfred will be placed on the approved list of col- leges by that state. This means that it will no longer be necessary for Al- fred graduates who wish to teach in Michigan to take the teacher's ex- amination there.

AS YOU LIKE IT
Out of the mistiness of past collegi- ate achievements looms Alfred's year book. Each year of Alfred's checker- ed history has been recorded by the Kanakadea as a pleasing resume of fond memories. Former Kanakadeas have been composed of humorous wit- ticisms, of charming literature, of interesting statistics, of photographic skill and artistic beauty. Each suc- ceeding year book promising to be a shade better than the previous vol- umes. This year the '24 Kanakadea promises to measure up to the A. U.
standard and to be the leader among collegiate publications. If Alfred is to grow in precedence, strength and renown her year book must predict such growth by its contents. The Kanakadea in its beauty, exactness and completeness must typify Alfred's coming bigness.
It is only possible to accomplish this inevitable result by the co-opera- tion and interested aid of Alfred's stu- dent body. It is your book. As a result the Kanakadea is largely what you make it. Whether the '24 Kanakadea shall surpass the preceeding annuals and be an institution of which Alfred people shall be proud is answerable only by you. In other words, the staff of this year's annual appeals for the aid of the student body that the book may be "as you like it." What are your criticisms of former Kan- akadeas? What suggestions have you for a better book? What new scheme or idea would you like to see incorporated in your annual? The staff of the '24 Kanakadea is your servant. Use it.
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF.
Now that athletics are assuming a brighter aspect than ever before in the history of Alfred, new departures in the field of sport can be considered.
One thing that has been overlooked is baseball. Several times there have been baseball teams but they have been of mediocre quality and merely the undertaking of a few interested students rather than a major sport.
This year there is a wealth of ma- terial which would require but a few weeks of training to develop into a winning team.
A short schedule could easily be arranged which would start Alfred in a sport she has hitherto overlooked.
Let's boost for a baseball team!
TRACK TEAM
Considering the good showing which the track team made with Hamilton last Saturday, Dr. Ferguson feels much encouraged concerning the future of a successful track team in Alfred. The fact that our cross country men held Hamilton so well and consideration of the status of the team with which the Alfred men competed, proves be- yond a doubt that we have some good material for a strong team.
There is no reason why this ma- terial should not be developed and there is every reason why we should give the track team the same hearty support as is given football and basketball teams. In most cases, a track or cross country team will in- clude men who, because of lack of weight or inexperience, are excluded from the football squad. This, how- ever, does not necessarily mean that their training is any the less strenu- ous or that rigid physical discipline is any the less essential. In many cases, it becomes necessary for members of the track team to exert themselves to a far greater extreme than some of the men on the gridiron. Men who grind over the cross country course daily, in all kinds of weather and over all sorts of road conditions and, when competing with other teams superior in training and experience, force themselves over the three to four mile course only to finish sec- ond or third or fourth and at the point of exhaustion, deserve mjuch more credit and commendation than the faint cheers and honorable mention.
Members of the track team are go- ing through with this training to es- tablish a permanent team here. The little appreciation which they receive will only poorly repay them for the weeks of hard work and time spent in practice. If they are Willing to give their time and energy for the col- lege and if the trainers are willing to do their share in fitting the men for their work, it is only fair that we, as fellow students also having the wel- fare of Alfred University at heart, should give them all encouragement in their training and co-operate in every manner possible toward the pro- duction of a stronger team.
Friday afternoon, the cross country team will run against Hobart over the Alfred course. Let's all be down there and help them to finish creditably with this strong visiting team. Those who are not gifted as athletes, have certain vocal powers which, if direct- ed properly, may show the runners that we appreciate the effort they are making and intend to support them.
ANOTHER SPORT FOR A. U.
Wrestling the top notch sport, older than the history of man, is soon to come to Alfred. It is an inborn trait to man as much as climbing trees is inborn to monkeys, and now Alfred is to give her men opportunity for the development of that trait.
Plans are underway for the pur- chase of a wrestling mat which is about the only necessary equipment for a beginning. At least twenty candidates are wanted and all who are willing to stick to the finish are desirable, but what Alfred man has ever been a quitter?
The possibilities for. the develop- ment of a team of expert wrestlers are at present very favorable. The nucleus of the team lies in the pres- ence of several experienced wrestlers in the student body. Then to sum up all these opportunities, how could the plan be a failure with such a person- age as Professor Seidlin as its coach.
Mr. Seidlin was himself the champion wrestler of his weight on Cornell's team during his college days there. He is enthusiastic about wrestling for Alfred and has expressed his willing- ness to lend l}is every effort in the development of such.

FOOTBALL MEN GIVEN WARM SEND-OFF
A fitting send-off was given for the Varsity squad last Thursday night, when the entire student body met at Agricultural Hall to practice cheers and songs and to instill spirit for the coming tussle with Hamilton.

McConnell spoke shortly on Alfred spirit in comparison with that of Cor- nell, where he was a former student.

He arose apparently determined to burst forth into eloquence, but suddenly be- came so inpressed with the humor of the situation that he had to return to his seat. It was later learned that his meriment was aroused over that he was about to "spring."
The crowd seemed determined on

The committee take this opportunity to thank those contributers who help- ed to make the campaign a success.
They feel confident that the remain- ing amount will soon be added to the sum already pledged and that the One-Week Campaign idea will live in Alfred. Especially does the com*- mittee wish to make this a time to thank those alumni who have so gen- erously answered the call for help.
To the townspeople the committee extend thanks for the contributions received and wish to say that those contributions not only helped to put the campaign across, but also they will help to carry on a worthy work during the year.
