From the Editors...
To the new "alumni" . . .
The academic year 1958-59 is now drawing to a close. With- in a few weeks finals will bei completed, books packed away and undergraduates will leave for the summer.
For you seniors the last undergraduate activities will be finished and you will be making preparations for Commence- ment—the commencement of a new way of life for which you have been preparing during your four years at Alfred.
The college degree which you will receive implies that you are an educated person; this is, you have gained "something"
as a result of four ytears at college. This "something" is more than just schooling or being connected with the educative pro- cess. To be educated means you have given something of your- self to this educative process and in return have been en- riched with knowledge and the qualities of responsibility and leadership.
Your college degree implies that you are this kind of an educated person. It carries the connotation that .you have learned to accept responsibility, that you have developed quali- ties of leadership, and that during your years in college you have had the opportunity to cultivate your latent talents and aptitudes to their highest level.
Opportunities for such development have been yours during your undergraduate years. May you look back over your college career with the satisfied feeling that you took advantage of the opportunities Alfred has offered and may you fulfill the implica- tions which your degree will connote.
With this degree you will go^into the "world" to begin a new life—a world where you have expectations of a good future, including economic security, personal happiness, and an opportunity to work for the betterment of you* community.
As an educated person, you must also meet certain expectations of society. Among these are the use of those qualities of re- sponsibility and lfeadef&hip which were developed during col- lege and are signified by the degree which you will hold.
The staff of the FIAT LUX extends to the members of the Class of 1959 sincere congratulations as you graduate and wishes you "gluck auf" as you join the ranks of Alfred's alumni.
Dr. Spitz Gives Talk:
Topic Is Democracy
by FIAT LUX Staff Member Dr. David Spitz spoke to the Po-1 Spitz's definition litical Science Cluta on the prob-
lems of integrating freedom and democracy last Tuesday evening.
There are two' problems with which we must cope, said Spitz.
One is in defining the word free- dom. The second is how to resolve democracy and freedom, for if a majority r u l e s , restraints will necessarily be placed on the minor- ity.
"No man or society reaJly be- lieve® in freedom." Spitz explained that freedom is a "god-word," it is something in which we must pre- tend to believe. We identify that which we bellev? (which is not freedom) with freedom.
There are several misconceptions held concerning freedom. One is that it is something entire. Patrick Henry said "Give me liberty or give me death." But, Spitz asked, wlhat about the, slaves, Henry's statement concerns ¡himself, it is a purely selfish attitude. It is necessary to have some freedoms and some restraints.' Man must make a choice of particular liber- ties.
of true free- dom is the absence of restraints.
He believes, however, that no one really wants this as it leads to evil. What is important is man's belief in justice or virtue. He is free when he acts according to what he believes is right and what he feels he ought to do.
Democracy, said Spitz, requires the freedom of man to express con- flicting ideas. Perhaps the best ex- pression of democracy is Lincoln's statement, "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master."
Spitz explained .that, democracy is the substitute of a peaceful re- solution for a violent one. It is a icammltmeot to a method wheraby men oan resolve their difficulties,, it is not an end in itself.
Men are created equal and should be allowed to express them- selves whether right or wrong.
Democracy makes it possible to correct the wrong ideals. For this reason a democratic state always lives in a state of crisis. ,
A question and answer period followed Dr. Spitz's talk.

English Panel Reviewed Major Victorian Works
by Emmalyn Heed Faculty members of the English
Department held a panel discussion on four major literary works of the Victorian period last Thursday afternoon in conjunction with the Fine Arts Festival.
The year 1859 was the high point of the Victorian period in Great Brltian. It was a year of great lit- erary activity. And it was a time when the English man turned to books as a means of escape from the pessimism that shadowed his coun- try.
MacDonald began the discussion by reviewing Darwin's "Origin of Species." He explained that as a product of the scientific mind the work is worth as much in 1959 as it was in 1859. Darwin stands un- challenged today although we have gone on beyond him. Loss of inter- est in the twentieth century is due to the fact that evolution is now generally accepted by most people.
Finch and Bernstein discussed John Stuart Mill's "On Liberty."
¡Finch explained that it is a defence of individualism and what happens to it in a democracy. Mill asks for

complete freedom of speech and opinion in the rationalist tradition.
Bernstein explained that it is dif- ficult to resolve this nineteenth century view with twentieth cenury society. One man can hardly argue against the mass media by which be is dominated today.
Bernstein explained that the Rub- aiyat suffers from its fame because too many people know it too well and thus It loses meaning.
The final book to be discussed was "Adam Bede" by George Eliot.
O'Hara explained that Eliot was unorthodox as a Victorian and Is considered the f r * t modern English novelist. She was Wordsworthlan In her desire for ordinary realism.
Eliot's work Is aîso ^ « n r t a n t for its psvcholoelcal exnlor°Mon of the characters. The panel discussed the objectivity or ttod«» B nd Its religious allusions. It Is modern for Its vIpwnMnt tho» i«S/>Ti jpnn has a right to his own faith.

Prof. Ray W. Wingate to Celebrate 22nd Year As Carilloneur At Alfred
by FIAT LUX Staff Member Professor Ray W. Wingate, Alf- pus in 1935. The forty-three bells red's first and only carilloneur has were pijrchased by
been playing the bells on campus for twenty-two years.
"The carilioneur is the Rocky Marciano of t h e music world,"
claims Wingate. Hie must have stam- ina and be fast and sure • i t h his bands and feet. He should practice four hours a day on the clavier, an instrument containing xylophone plates, and compose six hours a day.
The carilloneur has no music writ- ten for him previously. Wingate has made more than 62,000 arrange- ments.
The carilloneur must be a mech- anic as well as a musican. When anything goes wrong Wingate grabs his tools and ascends to the top of the tower to make repairs. I t a wire snaps during <a concert he must transpose his music t o a new key quickly* Even a four degree temper- ature change tends to make a dif- ference in the tone of the bells.
The priceless Davis Memorial Car illon was dedicated on Alfred's cam-
alumni and friends t o honor former president of Alfred, Booth Colwell Davis and his wife. The largest bell is ap- proximately two tons, the smallest eight pounds.
Eighteen of the bells were cast in 1674 Amsterdam by Peter Hem- ony, City Founder of Bells and Cannons. They were brought here by Dr. Watson from an old disin- tegrated castle. Sixteen bells are from the foundry of Joris Dumery and date 1737.
Wingate came to Alfred in 1912 as instuctor in vocal music, and glee club director. He had been vacationing in Rhode Island when President Norwood, of the Univer- sity called him on the phone. "You are going to play our carillon."
"But I'm a vocalist," exclaimed Wingate. He came to Alfred immedi- ately, knowing very little about the carillon.
Wingate, who is seventy-two years old, studied in Ottawa; and t h e

Oedipus Production Is Footiight Finale
by Barbara Broudy The presentation of Greek tra-

Add to "this the »challenges of verse dialogue and theatre-in-the-round production and you are faced with the three colossal obstacles that confronted the Alfred Footiight Cluib in their presentation of 'Oedipus atOolonus.' Yet the choice of play, if a diffi- cult one, was compelling; the at- tempt, if found wanting in spots, was coipmendable.

Glen Van Ingen as Oedipus over- came the physical obstacle of his height and the teichnical one of lengthy speeches i n verse: As a character, he came to life during the animated argument with Creon, portrayed octalipetentiby by Jerome Reicher. Though Mr. Van Ingen's feeling for the metered verse was ineffectual, h e achieved, through his movements and forceful speech- es, a greater stature by the close of the play.
Kin gTheseus, acted by Dickson Shaw, iwas every inch a king — again, despite his height. Mr. Shaw added to the aura of Greek drama by possessing the dignity, humanity and sensitivity of kingly action.
Grace Bookheim a<s Antigone's sis- ter Ismene offered a picture of pret- tiness and simplicity sans Greek loftiness. Mr. Chororos' portrayal of Polyneioes, son of Oedipus, was a lively one, 'but too conscious of an accented verse and too rapid to achieve a poignancy. The chorus of Mrrs.

Thinclads Retain State Crown As Finnerty Wins Two Events
by Allen Stegal (Special to the FIAT LUX) TROY—One-seventh of a point was enough to give the Saxons of Alfred University their second State track chaimpionship in as many years.
Down by one point with but a single event left, the Saxon track- sters icame through with a relay victory to gain the crown again.
The final score found AU with 48 11-14 points, nipping Hamilton with 48 9-14 points and well ahead of Ithaca with 22 9-14 and Union with 22.
"Athlete of the Year" Frank Fin- nerty led the Alfred point parade and added another laurel to his growing oollection as he was se- lected the outstanding meeit com- petitor while gaining a double in the mile and the half mile and then anchoring t h e victorious mile relay.
Two other Saxons gained individ- ual laurels. Steve Kelley retained his broad jump crown as he sailed 22' 11%" to win the event for the second consecutive year. Senior Don Ulmer picked up the remain- ing Saxon first as he raced t<J a 51.1 victory in the quarter mile event.
Finnerty took the mile in 4:17.5 with Saxon Larrie Sweet coming home second. The half mile saw Finnerty win in 1:54.7 with Sweet again picking up second place points. Sweeit was timed in 1:55.
Kelley, in addition > to, his broad jump crown, picked up a fifth in the century-, and tied with Bob Clark for third in the high jump.
