Bookeasy Will Open in New
Union Office
By Nancy Reynolds
The Bookeasy will be in.operation this week under the auspices of Alpha Phi Omega.
With an ample operating budget and a new home in the Union Annex fur- nished by the Student Senate, the Bookeasy will renew its effort to pro- vide a book exchange service.
If Joe College wishes to sell a book on botology, he will go to the Book- easy office decide on a selling price, fill in a provided form in return for
•which he will receive a receipt for his book. If Joe's book is sold, he will receive a check; if he wants the book back, he may submit the receipt and the unsold book will be returned to him.
If Sally Coed wants to buy a book on botology, she will go to the Bookeasy and look through the books which will be arranged by subject. When Sally finds her book, she will pay the price indicated in it. '
Ralph SpauMing past president of APO, who will be in charge of opera- tion, predicts the future of the Book- easy, "On its present basis, the Book- easy can succeed only with full stu- dent cooperation; supply of books must be ample, and students should feel free to check with the Bookeasy to fulfill their needs."
The Senate, which instigated and began the operation of the Bookeasy, recently gave up rights to APO for more efficient operation. Lists will be published periodically announcing some of' the better buys. Checks will be mailed about every two weeks and APO will deduct 5% from each sale to cover operating expenses.
The Bookeasy, will be open week days and Saturdays from noon to 5 p. m. until Feb 16.
Draft — Oh, Oh That Word Again
Say, if you have a draft status of 1A ( P ) , not 2A, break your neck to get up to see Dean of Men Fred Gertz now it you want to try and stay out of the clutches of the army.
Draft boards might change postpone- ments to deferments if applications are made the dean said. But he added that you'd better have marks to war- rant the change.
He also advised all students with questions about the draft to see him.
"Calling the Campus"
Wants Writers, Actors
Another "Angel in the Wings" in the offing?
Preliminary auditions for actors in a five minute situational comedy skit to be presented weekly on the "Call- ing the Campus show over WWHG will be held at 7:30 p. m. Wednesday in the Union lounge.
Jack Burdick, who tells us he will be producer of this epic, has issued a plea for all embryo writers to offer scripts to him.
The skit should deal with a typical Alfred couple and should include reg- ular parts for three actors. There also will be openings for two people able to read in a variety of voices.
Don't waste your money on tickets for top shows. Write your own for
"Calling the Campus."

Starting with a torchlight parade Friday night, and ending with the semi-formal "Sno-Ball" on Saturday evening, the festivities will include most of the familiar winter sports dependent upon Jack and his friend.
Because of the last two snowies® Car- nivals, the AOCers have their fingers crossed.
Events during the Carnival include an ice-show, skating competition, starting with a beginners group and finishing with the proficient skaters, a barbecue, where roast beef wiil be served, and a three-way in cross coun- try skiing with the Universities1 of
The Lone Ranger and Family
He doesn't look as if he cares, but little Roger Benton Francisco Jr. was the winner of the annual First Baby Contest sponsored by the Wellsville Merchants.
He was born at Tullar Maternity Hospital at 12 :54 a. ra., New Year's morning. Little Roger's mother is the former Carol Corbin of Belmont. The masked man happens to be his father, an Alfred Uni- versity Student.
Weighing in at nine pounds, seven ounces, the new baby won a wealth of presents donated by Wellsville merchants.

Student Listed As "Fair" After Hornell Crash
The condition of Cfhester Wawryzk, freshman Ag-Tech student involved in an automobile accident which resulted in one death last Monday, was listed as "fair" Sunday morning. Two other Ag-Tech Freshmen, Richard Dickin- son and William Moroney, were report- ed to be in "good" condition.
Meanwhile Hornell State Police re- ported that John Bifarella, Rochester truck driver, had been released after investigation showed that he was not responsible from the collision between his truck and the car occupied by four freshmen including George Ernst, who was killed instantly.
The accident occurred at 5:2*0 Mon- day afternoon as the students- were re- turning to their rooms in Hornell af- ter attending classes here. Near the Beacon Inn on Almond road, the dump truck, driven by,John Bifarella, skidd- ed sideways across the road and the car ploughed into it.
Ernst, a radio major from Phoenicia, died of a fractured skull according to Coroner B. F. Burge. Wawrzyk also suffered a fractured skull and for awhile ' his condition was listed as
"critical". Dicknson and Moroney were treated for lascerations and shock. Bi- farella suffered bruises of the hip and leg and was not removed to the- hos- pital.
The accident occurred as the stu- dents were returning from classes to their rooms in Hornell. Road condi- tions at the time of the collision were called "slippery" by State Police.
Wawrzyk is also majoring in radio while Dickinson and Moroney are Animal Husbandry majors.
Ernst was, the second Alfred stu- dent killed in an automobile accident this semester. On Nov. 11, Robert Lyons, an Ag-Tech senior, was killed when his car careened off the left side of the road and struck a tree near Al- fred-Almond high school.
Air Force
Recruiting Team Is Here Now
Two U. S. Air Force officers, Capt.
H. L. Moran and Lt. T. G. Wilkinson, arrived on campus yesterday to inter- view students interested in officer training programs offered by the Air Force.
They are located in the Student Union Lounge, and will be available from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. week days.
Coiiege men nave two choices—they can enter into a year's aviation cadet pilot or navigator training course. As a cadet in either course, they will be paid $105 a month and upon gradua- tion will be awarded a second lieuten- ant's commission.
Ordered to active duty, their pay and allowances will amount to about $5,000 a year. Applicants must be between the ages of 20 and 26y2, single, citizens, and have two years of college work completed.
Both men and women have an op- portunity to apply for Air Force Offi- cer Candidate School where they will go through six months's intensive training in administrative and techni- cal subjects of importance to their career in the Air Force. At OCS, their pay will be equivalent to that of a staff sergeant and upon graduation they will be awarded commissions as second lieutenants.
Ordered to active duty, they will re- ceive all pay and allowances due that rank. Applicants for Officer Candidate School must be between the ages of 20% and 26%, citizens, single or mar- ried, and have at least two years of college.
You don't have to go to Macy's toboggin. Right here in Alfred we 'have five toboggoners, one of whom will be Queen of the Winter Carnival.
Left to right, let's see now, Ruth Gowdy, Carolyn Blankhe't, ^Georgia Hafner, Dorothy Hayes, and Mary Louise Moore. The winner, chosen by a supersonicsecret method, will be coronated Saturday night, Feb. 10.

Rush Season Set to Begin
February 7
Sorority rushing season follows exams. A meeting at 7 p. m. in Physics Hall on Jan. 21 will furnish the Fresh- man girls with all necessary informa- tion, according to Jean Hunt, ISC President. Rushing will be discussed and financial statements denoting liv- ing expenses of each sorority will be distributed.

Sun., Feb. 11, 3-5 p. m.; Wed., Feb. 14, 7-9 p. m.; and Sat., Feb. 17, 7-9 p. m.
The week'of Feb. 19-22 will be taken up wth the rushing dinners. An invita- tion to one of these dinners does not positively indicate that a girl will be pledged to a sorority.
Preferential slips will be signed by rushees, after the open houses at eacli sorority, at 5 p. m. in Physics Hall.
A silence period will follow until pledging the following night, Feb. 26.
Rush season will be climaxed by the Intersorority Ball, March 2.
Rush Up to Social Hall Now With Those Prints
Glance at your Gruen! Squint a t your Swiss! If you have neither, saun- ter over to the sun dial.

Prints will be rented for 50c January 19 from 3:30—5:30 in Social Hall.
Don't Stampede-Dean's Advice To Draft Hounded College Men
By Ralph In an effort to clarify the existing draft situation Dean Fred H. Gertz has enumerated four points which all Alfred students should take into con- sideration before "being stampeded in- to joining up."
"The tirst thing to consider," he said, " is that the Armed forces recog- nize the value of education. The more education you have the farther you can go once you get there."
"Secondly," Dean Gertz continued,"
the college student occupies a more or less favored position. The services even have allowed postponements to more than half of the reservists called here at Alfred." This supports the theory that a college education is deemed important by the services.
A third point to be considered on an individual basis Dean Gertz said,
"is that each student should weigh his long range vocational goal as against the temporary advantage he might get by joining the service at this time. Right now the services are swamped by men seeking to enlist. The student who stays in school as long as he can has just that much more advantage over the student who vol- unteered before he was called."
And lastly, Dean Gertz pointed out,
"is the misguided idea some students have that it is unpatriotic to be draft- ed." Those students who have tech- nical or special abilities owe it to themselves to stay In school. They are serving their country just as much by improving their skills as they would be by enlisting.
Director of Admissions William J.
OO'Connor addled his support to what Dean Gertz said and added that "the enlistee has no guarantee that he will remain in the service he chooses. The services are guided by the amount of men. needed In. any particular Held.
Calabrese
"If they have an overbundance of men, for example, wanting to be pilots, and a shortage of navigators, the en- listee might find himself being trained as a navigator instead of the pilot's job he enlisted for." Mr. O'Connor continued that it is to the best advan- tage for a student "to hang on as long as possible in view of the fact that nothing concrete has been decided a- bout the future »tatus of college stu- dents in general."
As for those students who hold posi- tions in the reserves, Dean Gertz had this to say about obtaining postpone- ments (1AP classifications) and de- ferments (2A classification). "The es- sential thing is that the student should act with all possible speed." The ap- paratus for obtaining postponements and deferments is still available."
Dean Gertz also pointed out that dur- ing the last war some men were able obtain postponements for six month periods all during the war so that they might be able to finish technical or special training.
The status of veterans in college seemed to be fairly secure in the op- inion of Dean Gertz. A person who served in the armed forces for twelve months or more between Sept. 16, 1940 and June 19, 1948 or a period in excess of 90 days between Dec. 7, 1941 nd Sept. 2, 1945, is classified as a vet- eran.
It was also pointed out in the in- terview that a person's local draft board reserves the right to allow a man to enlist after he has received his draft call. All cases are considered on an individual basis and H does not necessarily mean that a person who has received his draft notice cannot enlist at a later date. The draft board;
may make the decision either way.
PAGE TWO THE FIAT LUX, ALFRED, NEW YORK TUESDAY JANUARY 16, 1951
A Question of Degree
As for the educational system in the United States, it stinks.
11 is true thai it accomplishes many objectives. It provides a sanctuary, not only for students who are not ready to face the out- side world, but for teachers who have chosen their profession because it allows them to remain in an intellectual shell—cloistered oysters.
It provides the student with a diploma which, when presented to someone who is obligated to someone who is a friend of the student's parents, provides him with an economic anchor in life.
It teaches social amenities, encourages athletic prowess, hopes for moral stability. It bombards the student with all kinds of uncor- related erudition and it manages to restrict itself to the boundaries set by leading educators o'f more than 100 years ago.
It does not educate.
For instance, in Alfred there is a rule that no major social event is to be held during the^two weeks prior to exams. The reason, ob- viously, is that whoever makes these rules doesn't want outside acti- vities to interfere with studies. In other words, the rule is a virtual sanction for cramming before examinations.
That isn't education, it's a rat race. It doesn't matter whether you know anything, or whether you can apply what you do know. All that matters is that you have an index and the mighty degree. Par- don, Degree. That degree doesn't mean you are educated. It means that you have gone through 16 years of school, only this and nothing more.
What kind of education is it when you skip classes to study for tests? When you don't have time to read a book for the fun of read- ing a hpok ? When you haven't the faintest idea what is going on in the world? What kind of sense of values have students who condemn their friends for doing superior work and thus making it "tough"
for everyone else? Of course they'll make good Union men, there is no question about that.
And, this is a joke of course, how many of you have ever audited a course ?
Antipathy toward learning is developed through the years. It is more the fault of the system than those who are part of it. The real trouble is that it is geared to the level of those who are not interested in education as an end but as a means to a degree. There is no place provided for the student who really wants an education.
A Question of Policy
There have been a slew of major foreign policy speeches during the past month ranging all the way from the agressive policy avoeated by Mr. Dewey, nominal leader of the Republican party, to the defen- sive policies advocated by Mr. Taft, nominal leader of the Republican Party and Mr. Hoover, nominal leader of the Republican Party. In between somewhere we had opinions from President Truman (the one that counts), Mr. Acheson, a friend of the President, and Mr.
Dulles, Mr. Truman's Republican advisor.
There is much on which these gentlemen agree. They oppose ap- peasement, isolation and dissertion of allies, although there would seem to be some disagreement about the meaning of these terms. And evecyone seems to be opposed to aggression (by the Communists), evil and Westbrook Pegler.
President Truman, in his "National Emergency" speech (every- one has a different word for war) set the administration policy of limited controls and gradual increases in production and mobiliza- tion. Both he and Mr. Acheson indicated that the United States in- tends to supply men and munitions to Western Alliance countries.
Governor Dewey would go much farther. He would build to 100 divisions, call to government service every able person over 17, call the national guard to action tomorrow, cultivate every country which can supply men and munitions. He stressed the "offensive mood,"
holding the line every place and very important, a better propaganda, sabotage and spy system instead of none at all."
Mr. Hoover favored the establishing of a Gibraltar with Japan and England at the outposts. In defending this view he pointed out the futility of attempting to fight Russia on the ground. Senator Taft, in his marathon Senate speech followed Hoover, adding the thought that he wasn't convinced that Russia had aggressive ideas.
This is the same thing Borah said in 1939 about Germany.
Out of all this verbal barrage it was John Foster Dulles who had the most to offer. He pointed out that Russia has the inner lines and that we can't dissipate our strength rushing armies into each border- ing country at the drop of a Communist, Nor can we crawl back into our shell for an area defense in the vain hope of defending ourselves while Russia helps herself to the industrial might of Germany and the resources of the Middle East.
Rather we must develop a capacity to counter attack, to fight if necessary, on battlefields of our own choosing. We must develop our superiority in, production capacity while exploiting Russia's ob- viou? internal weaknesses — something we have sadly neglected. This must be the initial step, not to win a total war, but to prevent it.

Onlv Twelve Kids Enrolled In This School
. By Nancy Reynolds
The liveliest and most independent class conducted in Alfred is composed of only 12 students. The curriculum consists of elementary courses in en- gineering, homemaking, medicine, music, art and dramatics. If this sounds enticing to you, don't try to register because the Alfred Nursery school admits only three and four year olds.
Under the direction of Mrs. George Kirkendale, the children meet every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning from 9 to 11:45 in the Parish house. Using the most prosaic materi- als, their fertile imaginations and eager hands convert saw horses into bridges, blocks to miniature towns, paper to pills, little girls to nurses and boys to doctors.
Mrs. Kirkendale feels that the most important features of her school are
"consistent discipline" and the use of directed activities, such as singing, only when, the children become bored with their own games. Practicing her theory that "new experience is one of the basic human needs," Mrs. Kirken- dale allows her charges to participate in whatever games or dramatizations they may invent, which vary in their pattern each day.
Since Oct. ft, when she took charge of the school, Mrs. Kirkendale has carefully disciplined the children so that now there exists a perfect under- standing among them all concerning mutual acceptance of each other and the sharing of toys. Any disputes are settled by the simple rule that posses- sion is nine-tenths of the law. , •
The younger set, more than their big brothers and sisters (that's us) are influenced by outside events. Dur- ing th.4 Red Cross' Blood Bank drive, a wave of "doctors", "nurses" and
"sick people" filled the Nursery School. Showing discretion in their acceptance of outside activities, they began "a rummage sale but interest lagged and the idea was discarded.
The Children turned hosts Dec. 21 when their parents observed the daily proceedings. The only deficiciency in the school lies in the lack of little boys to play "papa," which causes un- told frustrations to the little girls who will probably grow into civil engineers instead of housewives.

Letters To The Editor It's Your Union
Don't
Take Your Part Home
Dear Editor,
This* letter is directed particularly to students who either do or do not en- joy saving paper. We'd like to give them some advice. If they»are the first type, they can conserve paper by keep- ing bridge or canasta scores on Union card table tops. It's been done. The Union Board had definite • evidence of this before Christmas. If, on the other hand, they favor wasting paper, we have another suggestion; throw it on the floor. After trying this method for months, certain students have proved it to be quite effective.
Then there's another group which concerns itself with magazines. Which of the above classifications these char- acters fall into is a mystery. Either they like to save paper by making col- lections of Union magazines in their rooms, or, through the same method, they let it go,to waste by keeping reading material from other students.
In addition to magazine collectors, there are a few jokers who have an- other hobby—card collecting. All kid- dirig aside, four new decks were pur- chased this fall. The day after they were placed in the lounge, three were missing. The next day all four were gone.
Students should use the Union and enjoy it. That's why it's there. But a little respect and consideration for property is expected, as Paul Baker suggested in his recent letter.
Although a minority of those using the Union are responsible for these'ac- tivities, this problem concerns every student on the campus. . The Union lounge operates on a budget which de- rives its income from fees of one dol- lar- per semester, paid by University and Ag-Tech students. This income must* c o v e r social a c t i v i t i e s maintenance, equipment, salaries, and magazines. Each student at Alfred has a part in his Union; the magazines, cards, etc., belong to all of us. Al- though Mrs. Hurd has authority to enforce Union rules, it is up to each of us to see that the lounge is treated
properly. v
The furniture' was washed before vacation, the floor was waxed, and the tables have been polished. The place resembled the "lobby of the Statler,"
if I may quote a student who arrived before the mob after Christmas. We neither expect nor want a Statler lob- by. We want a comfortable place where we can relax and enjoy ourselves. But, for heaven's sake, leave us not go hog wild! Use the asll trays. Use the waste baskets. And use a little common sense for a change!
Barbara Shackson, Chairman, Union Board
Last Issue's Editorials Were Better Than Usual
Dear Editor,
There is much about your paper which I wish to commend but there are some of the editorals which were disgusting. I had intended to ask that you discontinue my subscription until I received the last issue of '50. I sin- cerely hope the coming semester may show a real improvement in the edi- torial material.
Honest constructive criticism of col- lege caliber is commendable. How- ever, too much of the editorials in pre- vious issues have sounded like the half baked ideas of a junior high school stu- dent both as to content and construc- tion.
There is plenty of excellent material in your staff. May we expect in the future that your recommendations may be of such a nature as to command respect and consideration rather than to arouse disgust and opposition.
Please pardon this rather frank criticism for I heartily wish the ^iat to be a product of which we may all be proud.
With every good wish for the gen- uine success of the Fiat staff each and all.
I am sincerely yours, Ben R. Crandall

New York Visit Is Part of
Ag-Tech Personality Course
By Janet Swanson
Ag-Tech senior women will visit New York City from January 25 to 30 as part of a personal development program.
Billed as a civic trip, it will include visits to many well known New York high spots including the Metropolitan Museum Art and the Haydn Planetarium.
The girls will stay at the Biltmore Hotel and will attend two stage plays, a concert and radio and television broadcasts. A shopping spree will take much of the time. Dean of Women Shirley Wurz and Mrs. George Kirk- endale will be in charge of the trip.
The Ag-Tech women's program in- stituted in 1948 by Director Paul Or- vis, is designed to assist each woman in her present and future living.
This program will prepare her for participation in family and in civic affairs, at the same time that she is specializing in some particular field.
The five component courses of the program: personal inventory, music ap- preciation, modern theater, art appre- ciation, and speech are based upon the development of the individual to her highest potentialities, so that she may become a happier person, a more efficient worker, and a more socially responsible member of a community.
The program of two-hour, single- semester courses is under the direction of Dean of Women Shirley Wurz.
The personal inventory course, re-
spiritual, mental, and physical poten- tialities. She also attains an under- standing of people and a knowledge of how to live and work cooperatively in modern society, according to Miss' Wurz who teaches the personal inven- tory course.
Olin Johnson, music director, con- ducts a music appreciation course for freshmen women. A study of the great works of music, both past and pres- ent, is certain to awaken in the stu- dent a love and respect for music and an awareness of its beauty.
Miss Wurz also conducts a course for senior women in the study of the modern theater and its development.
Although the chief emphasis of this course is upon plays currently being produced, practice in making up and acting remains a significant part of the course.
Art appreciation, or the understand- ing of present painters through a study of the paintings of the past, is calculated to assist the student in de- veloping critical standards and an un- derstanding of the importance of art
College Town
When new complexes worm their way into American culture, whole pat- terns of living are changed. Tele- vision! Television! That's what I'm getting at.
Oh, you're stagnant. You're lagging around here. But at home
A car turns into the drive or the doorbell rings and instead or running to greet guests, one stands up reluc- tantly, backs away from the 16 inch screen and shuffles to the door. Once their coats have been whisked away and thrown aside, the proceedure is to scurry back to Dagmar. Let them grope their way behind you.
Now the guests may be the rich neighbors from the Club who don't own a set yet or those folks from a- cross. the alley whose screen is only 12 inches. At any rate, television is the menu, whether you diet or overeat.
It has changed family entertaining.
NaNa—MaMa
Child rearing will gradually be me- j tamorphosized by video. As early as the tottering stage, babies are urged to sit still on Mama's lap while she glues her eyes, on the show. In a dec- ade or more, we'll witness infants lisp- ing "television" instead of the initial Mama or Dada. This will result be- cause today's baby aften takes its first steps in the direction of the set and some fool adult must snatch him up and beat his diaper off for smearing drool on Uncle Miltie. »
For the older monsters, what a bless- ing. No train whistles to drive Mom to the meat cleaver; no more drives in the country with a carload of mur-

derous demons. .. .in fact, children a n d their parents may limimo completely estranged. What a thought.
Television can mean much to the pattern of American courtship. Pretty young things would hesitate to bring a date into the living room on Pop's Wrestling N i g h t s . . . .there arc already too many half-nelsons for one room to bear. Or if she does manuever to be alone with a victim, in a dark tele- vision setting, it will seem immoral to the neighbors across the streets.
They Should Pull the Shades Television, if we may be prophetic, will breed a race of inert recluses ex- hibiting bloodshot, staring eyes. Con- versation, thinking, reading, sports. . . will be obsolete. But you have time for more speculation than we do on this subject.
Here are two dynamic possibilities created by the World's Finest Enter- tainment:
1. In the dark corners of your tele- vision room, place in stacks all your hoarded goods in the coming years—
sugar, gasoline, nylon, soap, tires, meat. Even federal investigators are aware of the Sacred Silence and Priv- acy that are rnarried to video.
2. Buy some thick, porcelain tiling that is effective security against atom- ic raids; build a small room with sets lined along every wall; have your head reformed on a pivot and just give up.

Modern Dancers Brought
Many New Interpretations
« a , By Herbert Cohen
Emily Prankel and Mark Ryder presented last Monday and Tuesday evenings a very spirited and refreshing dance concert. The program showed a good cross section of what can be accomplished by experimenting with different subject matter.
"Haunted Moments," choreographed to the sounds of such things as bubb- ling water, a telephone, a clock, laugh- ing, a cash register, pepole shouting and bells, is one of the best things I have seen 4o ne in modern dance.
Miss Frankel's and Mr. Ryder's in- terpretation of the sounds could not, in my opinion, have been improved.
This type of subject matter, I do not think has been used before in modern dance and I would say that it will probably open up something new to many modern dancers.
' We all enjoyed, I'm sure, the won- derful puppet whose force was irresis- tible to these foolish woman. In this dance, the music, costumes, dance forms, and even the facial expressions formed a complete and well integrated unit requiring a great deal of control of all parts of the body.
This part of the program was far superior to "People and Things" which seemed to me a little awkward and strained. Although I enjoyed the sa- tirical sets and props, the dancing could have been more refined and more meaningful to what was on the stage, The stage was so cluttered I couldn't help feeling
subordinate. that the dancing was
It was a nice contrast right after- wards to see "duet" played on a n empty stage. I wasi particularly inter- ested in this dance because I had never before seen anyone dance to Bach.
I still retain the opinion I had before I saw the concert, .that Bach is ex- tremely hard to dance to.
The basic line pattern that was made by the dancers was simple and not destroyed by all the dance forms used, but the whole thing seemed un- related to the music which, I feel,.
Ts a very disturbing factor in a dance concert.
This certainly did not happen in Miss Frankel's solo where the music, singing and dancing were very united.
Here Miss Frankel showed her bril- liant talent. She had excellent control
| even of her fingers which played a very rhythmic and important part of her interpretation.
I think she should also be congrat- ulated for designing and making all the costumes which were very suitable.
There certainly was versatility in the choice of colors and the dancing was never hindered technically by t h e costumes.

It was suggested at a Student Af- fairs Committee meeting that a sys- tem of points be in- stalled to distribute extra curricular ac- tivities more wide- ly among the stu- dents and to keep the students from
• • becoming overbur- dened. Each activity would be assigned a certain number of points with officer and committee positions receiving ex- tra points. The relative importance of organizations and offices would be taken into consideration.
A survey has been taken to discover the general opinion of th% student, body. The idea is relatively new on this campus, atlhough it has been tried before with little success. At the
most recent meeting of the Student Affairs Committee, it was decided to drop the proposal temporarily. It is now up to the consideration of the stu- dent body. It will undoubtedly be brought up at a later date for more debate. At present of the 200 students who were asked there opinion of the system: 161 were not in favor, 31 were in favor, and 8 had no opinion.
The following are some of the ideas bruoght before us by the student body: '
"The merit system during the fresh- man and sophomore years might aid the students in learning to budget their time."
"The qualities of leadership are p'o- tential in the majority of us. This sys- tem may serve to bring them into use."

HAROLD G VOGT
Talk on Glass Will Be Heard
At Assembly
You can stand on a sheet of glass suspended- between two chairs without breaking it.
This, and many other surprising properties of varieties of glass will be demonstrated a t 11 a. m., February 8 in Alumni Hall for the first required assembly in 1951.
Harold G. Vogt, Corning Glass Works research physicist, in a talk on
"New Horizons for Glass" will show that some types of glass can be used as hammers. He will use a glass piston to drive spikes in a block of wood without spoiling the high precision of the piston.
A heat-resistant type of glass will be used for "frying" ice on hot glass and other demonstrations will present op- tical properties of various glasses.
Mr. Vo,gt is now a member of Cor- ning Glass public relations depart- ment and has lectured to numerous civic and scientific groups including the Mellon Institute and sections of the American Chemical Society.
Beginning his career with Corning Glass in 1941 as a laboratory research worker, he made substantial contribu- tions toward perfecting a method of sealing glass by electricity.
In 1989 Mr. Vogt began a two year term as a physics, instructor at Har- vard University where he also engaged in research and graduate study.
Musical Movie
Coming Thursday
The strains of jazz, soft and sweet music and even long hair music will roll out of Alumni Hall Thursday.
Marian Anderson, Benny Goodman and George Gershwin are all sceduled to appear. And even if it's- only a mov- ie, it's said to be a fine one. The title is "Upbeat In Music" and it's being presented 11 a. m. Thursday, as: the forth in a series of voluntary assem- blies.
The film originally produced in 1940, is now owned by the Museum of Mod- ern Ait. The museum's film library has included the film in Its latest list- ing of noteworthy motion pictures.

That's because the Union Building is a friendly place, always full of the busy atmosphere of college life. There is always plenty of ice- cold Coca-Cola, too. For here, as in university gathering spots every- where—Coke belongs.
Ask for it either way ... both trade-marks mean the same thing.

Campus Interviews on Cigarette Tests Number 10...THE PANDA
'Let's get down to bear facts!'
:.he sudden rash of quick-trick cigarette tests
may have caused panda-monium on the campus — but our scholarly
friend was unperturbed. He pondered the facts of the case and decided that one-puff or one-sniff tests . . . single inhale and exhale comparisons are hardly conclusive. Proof of cigarette mildness doesn't come that fast!
And that's exactly why we suggest . . .
The sensible test — the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test which simply asks you to try Camels as your steady
*
smoke — on a pack after pack, day after day basis. No snap judgments needed. After you've enjoyed Camels — and only Camels — for 30 days in your "T-Zone"
(T for Throat, T for Taste), we believe you'll know why . . ..
More People Smoke Camels
than any other cigarette!

Bucket Plus Freeze Ice 47-45 Victory for Bulls Over Alfred
By Bob White (Public Relations Office) The University of Buffal<
eked out a 47-46 win over hard-fighting Alfred Univoi.-ity quintet Friday in .Men's Gymnasium. John Castiglia was high for the evening with 13 points.
Alfred appeared strong in its sec- ond encounter with the Buffalo hoop-
iii'-11. The two teams fought on even terms through-out most of the contest, but Alfred bowed out in the final minute and a half of play when Buf- falo successfully froze the ball.
Hal Kuhn, who poured in 26 points against Alfred on December 22, pro- viilod the winning margin for the Uni- versity of Buffalo again. His lay-up shot broke a 45-45 deadlock to give his team a hard-earned victory.
The highly favored Buffalo five, who trounced Alfred 75-44 earlier this season, took an early lead and were out in front by a 12-4 count as the first period ended. Alfred connected
•only once on 16 attempted field goals i n the opening stanza.
The McWilliams - coached quintet t&awed fast in the second quarter.
Harvey Printz of Alfred, knotted the
•count at 20-all after eight minutes of the second quarter with a push shot.
A minute later with the score tied at 22-22, Dick Hauser put Alfred out in front with a hook shot and a charity toss. The score read Alfred 25, Buf- falo 22 at halftime.
Buffalo pulled ahead early in the second half only to be tied at 37-all mid-way in third period. Jo'hn Castiglia hit the meshes with a set-shot to give Alfred a two-point lead as' the game entered the final period.
Center Ike Erickson tallied twice
on a tap and a one-hander from the corner to put the Alfred squad out in front by a 43-38 score early in the final quarter. Buffalo scored rapidly to tie up the contest again.

"The offices of the Deans are trying to establish rules and regulations that are much to narrow in scope and al- low no student initiative."
"If the University adopts it, they must support it fully by enforcing all rules and regulations."
"The approach is entirely too nega- tive. Why not have a cumulative merit system with an award for high points?"
•"I do not feel that such a system
"would encourage more general activity.
For the present, stronger leadership is needed and the proposal would incor- porate a widespread lack of same.
Poor leadership will tend to weaken the already weak organizations on campus. Also widespread semi-influ- ential leaders would have no chance to break down the traditional small college facistic administration."
"I never been aware of the need for such a system. Students need no in- centive other than their own interest t o join; and if they do so simply to earn points, there will be nothing but disinterested participation. If a stu- dent feels he is overburdened with club offices, he can always decline to accept them and contribute as much as he feels" he can as an ordinary member."

Intramural basketball entered the stretch drive this week as the teams started to spread out in the standings.
The U. N. All-Stars and the Nameless each tightened their respective holds on the leadership of the C and B Lea- gue, while Lambda Chi finished out their schedule by clinching at least a tie for A League honors.
The U. N. boys made it 5-0, when they downed the Rural Engineering Freshmen 68-30, just before Christmas.
That same night Nameless met pre- viously undefeated Benhoffs for the B League lead, and the anonymous ones made it five in a row as they swept to a 35-20 win. Benhoffs bounced back this week to reclaim second place by pasting the third place Crescents 49-24. The Klancys made a strong chal- lenge for the top but got caught on the wrong end of a 29-20 score in their
| game with Nameless-, and had to set- tle back to third place. In other B League games, the Aadvarks defeat- ed the Tool Engineers 33-26, the Phi- Hoopsters edged the Gisatleds 23-22, the Bullets forfeited twice, and the Hilltoppers forfeited once. (There that word again—remember the nine dollar bond.)
The Fraternity League fight is start- ing to thin out. Lambda Chi, with wins over Beta Sig 80-11, Klan 43-14, and Psi Delta 27-26 (in overtime), finished their schedule with a 6-1 rec- ord. Therefore to tie Lambda Chi for final honors, no team can lose more than one game. Delta Sig eliminated Theta Gamma from that categorie by a 40-30 count. Kappa Psi then elimin- ated Delta Sie by scoring a 39-22 vic- tory in their game on Saturday. Kappa Nu stayed in it rapping Beta Sig to the tune of 56-25. Theta Gamma

rounded out the action with a 39-19 decision over an incognito Beta Sig outfit.
Hot on the trail of the All-Stars in the C League, are the Jimboners, win- ners of two games this week to boost their record to 4:1. Both wins were by the same margin, 41-26 over the Phi-losophers, and 45-30 over the Con- servation Club. The R E F fell deeper into the cellar by dropping 46-38 af- fair to the Conservation, and then tak- ing a 57-20 shellacking from t h e Crosses. The Electronics boys bowed to the Slop Shots by the slim mar- gin of 59-17, and then forfeited to the Double O's.

Dancers
(Continued from page Two) As for the dance forms, some inter- esting new things were presented. The very funny laugh, Jacob's dance after his marriage to Leah and t h e cash register were the colorful high spots in the performance. I thought, how- ever, that some of the dance forms bore a little too much resemblance to acrobatics.
In "Biography of Fear" this was very evident. The part was danced' partly lying on the floor with each one pulling the other up to change positions. Miss Frankel and Mr. Ryder feel that in the choreography each form naturally leads rght into the next if it is good,' but in this particular instance I felt no tie-in with the rest of the forms. It seemed to be used only for effect.
Saxon Frosh Down Buffalo
By 21 Points
The Saxon freshmen wrecked ven- gence on the Buffalo Bulls Friday night 69-4S. This evened the score for the 59-58 slaying which the Bulls handed the Saxons in the final min- utes of their game in Buffalo Decem- ber 22.
The first few minutes told the tal)e as the frosh with revenge in their eye, started piling on the score.
Working like a well oiled machine, the Saxons ran up a 16 point lead by half time, 41-25. Although they lacked some of their first half pep during the third and fourth stanzas they allowed the Bulls only seven points.
High scorer for the Saxons was Shorty Miller with, 17 points followed by Jim Murphy with 10. For the Bulls the high man, Scamurra racked up 14, with Dell trailing at 10.
Although the victory may have sur- prised the fans, the Saxons expressed confidence in the locker room before the fray opened. All 13 men on the team played.
