Major speaker of the assembly w a s Dennis Shaul, president of the Student Body at Notre Dame, who spoke on "Student Responsibility."

He stated that the current crisis In education can only be solved by students who 'have the desire to learn, i h i s crisis is brought about by our democracy and its dedica- tion to the education of the masses.

Education is the real basis of a

democratic state for well educated people are needed to fulfill their roles as good and intelligent citi- zens.

College js, for many, a period of social adjustment but few students realize that a person attending college has one major responsibility

—"to search for the truth." The university provides the tools for theis search but the student must have the courage and conviction to da the searching himself.

The most objectionable part of our . education, Shaul pointed ouit, is that it is based too much on security consciousness. This takes the form of wanting to 'become educated in order to a materialistic success. Not enough of us want to change the world. The only way for a person to achieve greatness is for him to believe in an ideâ and be willing to devote his life to it.

Shaul stated that many students don't want to devote" their lives to an idea because at present it is "less dramatic to wage peace

Task ot College Chaplain Is To «Fire Burns, the Cauldron Bubbles"

Relate Christianity to College

by Dr. Allen Best Methodist Chaplain

T h e rolp of the college oar university chaplain has been -wrought out Of nearly fifty years of campus ex- perlence and experimentation. Ba- sically, it Is to confront the campus with the claims of the Chris- t i a n faith and to help deepen, en- rich, and mature the faith of college Mid university men and women.

It is the task of t h e chaplain, therefore, to design programs of Study, thought, worship, prayer, a n d service that will interpret the Christian message in t e r m s of col- lege and university life; to interpret the religious life and thought of the college and university as an inte- gral part of the curriculum and community life which it shares; to

Need Funds?

All organizations desiring an appropriation of funds from the Student Senate should sub- mit the following to the treasurer, Stuart Wunsh, Box 161:

(1) a copy of their constitu- tion. (2) the amount of last year's appropriation and how It was used, (3) the amount de- sired this year and how it will be usesd.

This information is due on or before December 9.

•create experiences of fellowship and creative social activities t h a t will1 reflect the highest Christian values; and to provide ecumenical programs t h a t will relate the student to the larger community of faithB.

1 Thé Christian chaplain represent the Campus Christian Movement that is not a p a r t from the church or the university. The student is never apart from the faculty, administration, student residences or the life of the university. There- fore, the Christian movement represented by the chaplain contem- plates nothing less t h a n winning the university from secularism and rational neutralism to positive purpose, value and meaning of h u m a n existence within the framework of religious faith.

Campus Christian work should b e creative. This means that in it are growing ptersonfe and whatever is done begins where people are and leads t h e m into the maturity of a 'full, rich religious experience.

Thé value of the chaplain, when thus conceived, cgils for t h e chaplain to be prophet, priest, counselor, scholar, teaciher, friend—too ¡big and too much for one person, but a challenging adventure in faith and education.

Seven members, of the Methodist, Student Fellowship' and AUCA attended t h e fall conference of t h e New York State Methodist Student Movement a t Casawasco near Au- burn, New^t York. Dr. P e t e r A. Ber- tocci, professor of philosophy a t Boston University, was. the fea- tured speaker. His topic was taken from his book Religion as CreaIive Insecurity.

Last weekend, Alfred University's Footlight Club presented some sizzling Tennessee Wilams drama,

"Summer and iSmoke." The fire burns, the cauldron bubbles, and toll and trouble Mr. Williams doubles, doubles. T h a t is an almost Gidean sum, and the Alfred players have handily captured something of its mathematics. That's t h e test.

The grade is B plus.

Williams attempts in t h e play to concentrate in the character of Alma Winemiller all the power and the glory. S h e is woman in tension:

Puritan soul versus passionate senses. S u m m e r (fire) burns her, gives off Smoke (the prim tradi- tion), and by W i n t e r and play's end, the hard, gem-like flame of her passion is victor. Alma becomes

"natural" a f t e r this victory, and win® freedom, wins—a traveling selesman. Has she moved from pri- son to palace, we ask, f r o m dark- ness to light? Is a traveling salesman a victor? There is something wrong.

by John R. Clark Instructor of English

This is surely a Pyrrhic victory;

Alma loses her richness and h e r force. Her idealism and spirit a r e broken on the rack of modern tech- nological and ethical advance, med- icine specifically; w h a t you will generally). T h e "noveaux riches,"

the "neveaux intellectuals" drive 'her sensibilities out, and she is baptized into the exclusively modern world of motion, distances, superficial communication — by a traveling shoe salesman. S h e 'becomes a harlot with a pill. And we come senselessly full circle; victory is defeat; the disease, the cure.

In the original script, Alma's un- attainable love, Dr. John Buchanan, also must " a d j u s t " to modernity, becoming not happy, but "settled with life on fairly acceptable terms." But Buchanan is never so clearly drawn a s Alma. No one is.

Subjectively, subjectively Alma Winemiller grows and grows alone, talks and talks, while Bu- chanan and the cast is forced

WHY MANDATORY ROTC?

Dear Editor:

Alfred University , prides, itself on being a good small liberal a r t s college. And yet, compulsory M i l i -

t a r y training runs contrary to ev- e r y principle of liberal a r t s edu-

cation.

The stated aim in the University catalog is to develop students' skill in thinking independently and creatively. Mandatory ROTC, obviously, r u n s c o n t r a r y t o both these airrfs. To begin with, the entering student m a k e s no 'independent

•choice as to whether he will t a k e the two year course or not. As a freshman, he is told f r a n k l y t h a t either h e takes t h e course, or (to put it colloquially) he h a s had the course. And a s for Creative thinking, 'I know of no other course of instruction which limits the student's, ability to think creatively.

The extent of ithe student's thinking is differentiating left f r o m right face and the extent of his creativ- ity is making old brass look like the new issue.

As the administration must surely realize this inconsistency, I can- not understand why they continue to require military training a s a prerequisite for graduation.

Neutron Activation Is Morrison's Talk

Dr. George H. Morrison of t h e Research Division of the Sylvania Electric Products, Inc. spoke on

"Neutron Activation Analysis" at the last meeting of the American Chemical Society last week.

Dr. Morrison head of t h e Inor- ganic and Analytical Chemistry Sec- tion at Sylvania, worked on the Manhattan Project during World W a r , II, spent two years on t h e faculty of Rutgers University, as well as two yeairs in research with t h e U.S. Atomic Energy Commis- sion, before joining Sylvania in 1951.

In addition to belonging to the American Chemical Society^ The New York Academy of Science, Sigma Xi, and the American As- sociation for the Advancement of Science, Mr. Morrison is the current president of the Sylvania Cen- t e r Branch of tlje Scientific Re- search Society of America.

In his lectuire, Dr. Morrison said that one of the most sensitive method^ for the determination of trace elements in materials In- volves the production of radioac- tive isotopes by activation of t h e nuclei of the trace elements • followed by detection and measure- ment of their nuclear radiations.

The principles of activation analysis are presented and various sources of activation are describ- ed. A general procedure is deiferiib- ed for the comparative method and includes the use of chemical separations. A minimum of chemical separations is possible when gam- ma scintillation spectrometry can be employed, land examples are given. The sensitivity a i d errors .involved in activation analysis are discussed, and application of the technique to a variety of materials are presented.

Four field goals in one game by a man who'd never kicked one before! Bobby Conrad himself said, "I never kicked a field goal in high school or college. In fact, I never even tried." But the amazing Texas A&M back broke two All Star records by booting four three- pointers, including one for 44 yards, as the 1958 college stars upset the Detroit Lions, 35 to 19. Conrad is now a Chicago Cardinal.

Gridders Finish Year Bruised and Beaten;

ButEvery CloudHas a SilverLming-Somewhere

T h e season is, over—at last. It h a s not been a good one. In fact it w a s one of the poorest seasons an Alfred football team h a s ever had under the 'coaching the Alex Yune- yich.

Looking back over the campaign there is little good t h a t can be said of the team They started off in miserable style losing to Cort- land State Teachers, by a 36-0 mar- gin, and they finished it off by ab- sorbing a 40-14 shellacking a t the h a n d s of Brockport | State. In between, they .played iball that ranged f r o m good to ghastly.

They held mighty J u n i a t a to 20 points, and they downed St. Law- r e n c e 8-0. But they fumbled away t h e Homecoming game to H o b a r t a f t e r outplaying them for most of the game. T h e n they lost to Trinity a n d Ithaca b e f o r e ' meeting Brock- port.

T h e season statistics, seem to confirm the fact that we didn't h a v e it this year. W e were outrush- ed 1276 yds. to 611. W e w e r e out- passed 743 yds. to 330. W e w e r e outscared 153-44.

For the Saxons, the individual total offense leaders were J i m m y Ryan with 319 yds. gained a n d Mike Thrasher who totaled 176 yds., all via the airways. In the scoring d e p a r t m e n t Ryan and Steve Crossman each had 10 points to tie for the lead.

Defensively the Alfred line was of top quality at the start of the campaign with such standouts a s Willie McAlee, Bob Cranston, A1 Feather, Joe Yanuzzi, and Tom Cechini providing t h e backbone for a solid forward wall. But Yanuzzi and Oranston were h u r t early in t h e season and were of little value

to Coaoh Yujievich afterwards.

Steve Hanko, a f r e s h m a n line- man who showed gfeat promise of becoming a regular was injured at the s t a r t of the season and never got into a game f o r - t h e Yunevtch- men.

The .coach and his charges have had a hard grind this fall. They have been hit with one bad break a f t e r another. They fumbled and they bumbled their way through the season having to withstand the

abuse of even their own rooters.

Well, it was the worst season they will have. You can be sure of it.

They will work on a pass defense because it is now open knowledge t h a t they have none. T h e injuries will heal (we hope), and the experience they once lacked they now have. True, they got it the hard way, but to borrow a phrase that the ¿Id Brooklyn Dodgers and the new Los Aangles Dodgers are famous for, "Wait 'til next year."

Harriers Place Fourth at NYS Meet;

Blanchard, Finnerty Among First Five

by Neal

The Saxon H a r r i e r s placed fourth in t he New York State Track Meet which was held on November 8, 1958 at the R.P.I, campus in Troy, New York. The Al- fred team was outscored by Hamil- ton, which finished f i r s t with a'total of 60 poCnts. ¡Roberta Wesley- an, which had 81 points for a second place, and Union College, which finised third with an 83 point total.

There were 60 runners represnetimg 9 schools in this annual meet. Al- fred's star runner, F r a n k Finnerty, was beaten by Union's Tom Hoff- man who covered the 4.6 mile course in 19 minutes 51 seconds.

This was the second week in a row that H o f f m a n had outdistanced Finnerty, f o r it w a s on November 1 that Hoffman h a d defeated F r a n k while the Garnet squad had topped the Saxon crew on the Un- ion course at Schenectady.

Finnerty's d e f e a t was not the 'big story to come out of the meet

It was the impressive showing ot Alfred's Carl Blanchard who finished fifth in a very strong field .of

Gantcher

runners that made everyone take notice of the results. Blanchard's time for the course was 21 minutes 20 seconds which was the. best time he turned in during the season. Undoubtedly, Carl h a s started to come into his own as a cross country runner and next year h e should prove a very s t r o n g chal- lenger for Finnerty's number one spot on the squad.

Behind Finnerty's second and Blanchard's fifth place finish were Larry Baton, who finished 19th; Larry Bird, who finished 29th; Joe Conner, who finished' 30th; W a r r e n Sutton, who finished 36th; and J o h n Bidwell, who finished 47th. This sequence of finish gave the Saxons their f o u r t h place total of 85 points.

All Independent basketball teams who wish to enter 'this year's intramural league must be represented at the Intra- mural Board meeting tonight.

The meeting will be held at the Men's Gym at 7 p.m.

The Sports Corner

by Jay Henis—Fiat Lux Sports Editor

Well, Thanksgiving is rapidly approaching, and right now in country barnyards all over the. country, many a trusting fat gobbler is taking his last walk around tie coop. (I think tur- keys live in coops.) They are not unlike tihe unsuspecting fresh- men one can find wandering about this fair valley where the sun never shines. Soon it will be time to lop off IJhe gobblers' heads.

Soon it will be time to hand out midsemester grades . lucky gobblers !

Oh you can tell that vacation time is approacMng. For one Idling, University athletics have come to an almost complete standstill. Football is over and basketball and wrestling have yet to begin. But leave it to us college students to find a sport to

1

replace these presently defunct intercollegiate activities For instance, there is the great collegiate sport of valise packing. It is a sport requiring great skill, agility, fortitude, and a strong backside. Don't laugh. It's a dangerous sport. Picture the poor student racing to make the midnight train. He thrusts Clothes into his valise, he thrusts books into his valise, he thrusts all sorts of necessary things into his valise. He thrusts his necktie into the valise and strangles himself to death when he locks it. You're skfeptical? Well, it could happen to you.

F<or the less athletically incline, there is a game called

"Cape Canaveral." For the participants of this game, time loses its usual meaning. You think today is Tuesday the 18th? Un- initiated fools! Today is V minus 8. "V," stands for Vacation.

This game may be played with varying degress of concentra- tion. Beginners or those only moderately interested may count down in units of days, while those who have already learned the fine points of the game usually count down in units of hours.

However, freshmen, take heed ! If you are engaging"in these sports for the first time, you may be stricken with a serious illness. It is called Vacation Fever. The disease is dangerous.

The symptoms are obvious if you are looking for them.

They are: inability to awaken for eigfht o'clock classes; en- caseing of the brain with a tough coat of knowledge repellent ; inability to read clearly (text books only); an abnormal con- sumption of motion pictures; recurrent dreams involving Succu- lent Turkey dinners; and an obsessive belief that teachers are indeed understanding beings who couldn't possibly expect the

Freshman Cagers BolsterSquad;

Coach Looks ior Winning Year

Prepare yourself, its later than you think. And that's just what head basketball Coach Pete Smith is doing. With the (first basketball game just two weeks away, Coach Smith Is putting his charges through the final paces of drilling and scrimmaging.

Mr. Smith is experimenting with hew defensive and offensive styles.

The offense which h a s (basic pattern will be rum openly. He seems t o have material for a running ball team, and hopes to use the fast break quite frequently as a back (breaker. The defensive, which can not be disclosed f o r confidential purposes, will be sure to hold its own and be a big factor in many a n Alfred victory.

The team is r'aring to go and ready to prove that it isn't as bad as last year's record of seven wins and ten losses. When Spike Garn- ish and his Statesmen from Hobart invade the Men's Gym on Dec. 3, be there; fqr you will probably see the first victory of a New Era of basketball at Alfred. This year's Saxons are fired up with mew spirit and determination which are necessary ingredients in the making of a successful year.

The Saxons lost two regulars last year via graduation, ibut they have more than recouped, that loss with the tremendous icrop of freshman talent they have harvested this year. To name the freshmen in order of potential would be impossible but „we.must have a starts ing point. Sure to see plenty of acition is Steve Steinberg (tlias Mr.

Smith) from Horace Mann High in Riverdaie. Steve has a terrific scoring eye and is doubly valuable because he is a fine ball handler, who has the ability to fake defensive opponents out of their basketball shoes. Another back court operator for Coach Smith is Bob MapDonald. Bob hails from Rye-

Neck. He has a very good jump shot and is quite a play maker with his behind the hack passes.

Paul Trivelpiece from Manilus will he doing double duty playing the freshman squad and joining the varsity when needed. Paul, who is quite a speedster has a pretty good set shot and drive.

Also -doubling on the varsity amd

freshman squads are Phil Red- stone, Taft High (Bronx-) and Mike Benedict of Earlville.

Last, but not least of the varsity freshmen, is Joe Green from Boli- var. Joe is a well needed rebound- er who knows how to position himself around the basket. Once Joe relaxes more, he will also be quite a threat on offensive.

Matmen Begin Training; Open Against Union January 10th

The Alfred University wrestling team, under the tutelage of Coach Alex Yunevich, has started prepar- ation for the 1959 winter campaign.

Starting with their first match of the year against the Matmen of Union 'College on January 10th here at Alfred, the Grapplers will grapple their way through a ten game schedule running through February 27th. The final touches will be added at the Pour I Tourna- ment at Cleveland.

Returning from last year's squad are Jim Tenzel, Rom Carmichdel, Dave Daghault, and Francis Gilli- gan. Also back, after a two year layoff, during which he won several AAU wrestling championships im the New York City area, is large Herman Ledeiberg who tips th% scales at a dainty 250 pounds.

Unless he loses about 70 pounds in the next month or so, big Herm should be wrestling and doing a lot of winning in the unlimited division for Coach Y.

Thus far several promising freshmen have already come out for the team, ibut there are still several • openings in the lighter weight classifications and Coach Yunevich invites all "skinmy 97 pound weaklings who want to be- oome He-Mem, and all He-Men who

want to prove it" (he was omly kidding), to come down to practice. which is held daily in the Men's Gym.

Those freshmen who have never seen college wrestling will probably be pleasantly surprised by the sport. There are no grunts, no groans, no headlocks, . no body slams, but the sport is really a popular one.

Basketball Clinic Saturday Morning

Coach Pete Smith and his Var- sity basketball squad will be host to area High School basketball coaches this Saturday at the Men's Gym, as they will conduct an all- day basketball clinic.

The .morning session will start at 10:00 a.m. and run until noon. The team under the direction of Mr.

Staith will demonstrate everything from training techniques to offensive and defensive setups.

The session will break up a t noon for lunch and then resume at 1: SO p.m. During the day, just about everything that goes into coaching and training a basketball team will be covered. All the plays and all the different styles will be demonstrated by the Saxon cagers.

( Continued from Page 5 ) victim to work in his unwell state.

Thus far, the only known cure for this disease is a large dose of Vitamin "P.'' It has Deen found that doses-of this vitamin will clear up academic sluggishness with amazing speed.

However, it is not my intention to give the impression that students engage in theis pre-vacation rash of improvised games.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Many profs, caught up in the spirit of good holiday fun, are prone to engage in a game known as the "100 Pojint Question."

The rules of the game are quite simple. The teacher wears a sign which says "I am Hal March." The contestant, usually a student, is thrust into an isolation booth, provincially called a classroom. 'Hal March" then breaks open a sealed envelope and posés a question to the "Contestant." (He has never seen it before and most "Contestants" will testify to the fact.) As soon as the "Contestant" writes his name on the paper he has reached the first plateau. Having reached the first plateau, the "Contes- tant," even if he fails to answer the question, receives free of charge one brand new, unused grade. Usually a low-grade do- nated by Alfred, who is the sponsor of thç whole mess. Around vacatipn time nobody gets past the first plateau and the game ends with "Hal March" smiling gleefully at the "Contestants,"

and the "Contestants" leaving the studio remarking about what a "Nice Guy Hal March Is."

But meanwhile, back at the Dean's Office, unknown to students and teachers alike, the deans are playing a little game of their own called "Surprise the Students." This game is really a gem. There are no rules to the game but it goes something like this. The deans being an exceptionally gregarious specie of pro- fessor, decide that little old Alfred will be too lonely and quiet with all the students gone for vacation. Says one dean to ano- ther, "Who will I discipline?" Says the other dean sobbing huge crocodile tears, "Who will I intimidate?" "I can't stand it," says the first dean. "Neither can," says the second dean. All the lesser deans solemnly nod their concurrence. Only one thing do they all decide. "Call off the Vacation; that will surely "surprise the students." "Oh goody," says the first dean, "then I'll have somebody to discipline." "And I'll have somebody to intimidate,"

shouts the second dean with glee. "Oh what jolly good sport."

And all the lesser deans solemnly nod their concurrence. (Don't believe this last paragraph because deans are really nice people.)

(Don't believe the last parenthesis either.)

Now I must run and practice packing my valise so I won't catch my necktie in it when I race for the midnight train. (Come to think of it, I don't wear anecktie.)
