Figures For Registration Released By Registrar Indicate 304 Students
Absence Of Men Noted As Women Find Tables Turned In Alfred's Registration Ratio
First semester registration figures released by Dr. Waldo Tits- worth, registrar, reveal a total of 304 students enrolled in the Col- leges of Liberal Arts and Ceramics and in the School of Theology. At this time last year 286 students were enrolled in the three schools.
The effect of the war on the present enrollment is shown by the absence of men on the University campus. Sta- tistics show that Alfred has 221 women students and 83 men. This does not include the State School of Agricul- ture.
.The Liberal Arts College, which in- cludes 31 nurses, totals 190—159 wo- men and 31 men. Ceramic men number 46 and there are 62 women in the Cer- amic College, making a total of 108 in this school. Six men are enrolled in the School of Theology.
The Freshman roster lists 138 names. Of these 96 (14 men and 82 women) are from the Liberal Arts College. In the Ceramic School the division is more nearly equal as there are 42 Ceramic freshmen registered and 22 of them are men.
The 62 members of the Sophomore Class include six men and 27 women in Liberal Arts and 15 men and 14 women in Ceramics. The 48 Juniors are divided as follows: six men and 25 women in Liberal Arts, two men and 15 women in Ceramics.
One Liberal Artist and two Ceramic students represent the male section of the Senior Class, while the more im- pressive numbers, 20 and eight, show the female superiority in the respec- tive colleges.
The Registrar also reports that six students are doing graduate work in the College of Ceramics and that 13 are classed as specials.
The newest members of the student body this year are the students enrol- led in the Ag-Tech Institute who be- gan classes last week. After spending last week becoming accustomed to life a t Alfred these new students are now real Alfredians.

Paris, Topic Of French Students
The first meeting of the French Club, Monday, October 9, was centered around the city of Paris in celebration of its recent liberation. The meeting was held at Kenyon Memorial Hall.
Vioe-President Jean Barber, '46, in the absence of the President, conduct- ed the program which was the first ever given entirely in English. This was done in order that students n Beginning French might attend.
Colored slides depicting monuments situated along the route taken by con- querors, and recently by Charlres de Gaulle, were shwon and explained by Edna Jane McBrirde, '46. Gloria Wood- ward, '46 spoke on the subterranean passages of Paris and, in particular, the vaults of the Bank of France.s These rooms, larger than a football field, were hewn out of solid rock 85 feet below the surface and are under a 40 foot lake.
The program closed with the sing- ing of the "Marseillaise" and two songs characteristic of the French Un- derground. Replicas of the Louvre and Tuileries Gardens, a picture map, booklets and photographs of Paris were exhibited.
Club Adviser
Prof. C. Duryea Smith, III
Productions Planned By Footlight Club
An active program of dramatic productions for the coming school year is being planned by the Foot- light Club, 'Alfred University's theater group, Prof. C. Duryea Smith III, head of the Speech and Dramatics department announced recently.
On© full-length production1 and a one-act assembly play are scheduled as coming events with other one-act plays to be performed throughout the year, Prof. Smith stated. Various plays*
will also be produced in collaboration with any university organization des>- iring theater work, such as those which have been given in recent years on the programs of the foreign lan- guage clubs.
Announcement of the first meeting will be made soon by Margaret 'Peggy"
Long, president of the Footlight Club.
Membership in the club, one of the first campus organizations to have activities including all schools of the university, is open to students of the Lberal Arts College, Agricultural-Tech- nical Institute, College of' Ceramics, School of Theology, and the Cadet Nurse Corps, through actual partici- pation in theater work.
Prof. Smith emphasized the need for stage technicians, particularly those having experience in stage light- ing. Anyone interested in discussing any phase of dramatic work with Prof.
Smith may see him in Room 2 of Greene Hall.
With the almost normal academic schedule resumed this year, the Foot- light Club will return to its usual program after a lapse of formal pro- ductions during 1943-44 while the Army Specialized Training Program was in effect here. Although sponsor- ing no plays last year, the campus theater group did remain active in producing variety shows for the army cadet dances.
The last dramatic production given in campus was a program of two one- act plays in Alumni Hall, April 2f, 1943, by the Footlight Club and Wee Playhouse for the benefit of the War Scholarship Fund. The two plays were
"The Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden" by Thornton Wilder and
"End of the Beginning" by Seam O' Casey, directed by Margaret Aylor, who was graduated from the Univer- sity in 1943 and is now an instructor in the Ag-Tech Institute.
Faculty members and townspeople with the passion for the glamour and intense hard work that is the theater arre memberrs of the Wee Playhouse, which collaborated in producing the last program of ondact plays and which has been a very active organi- zation, Flrof. Smiith explained.

Canjipus Union Outgrows Quarters In Successful Fortnight
•) After its second week, the Campus Union, housed in the two front rooms of Burdick Hall, is turning out so well that plans are progressing rapidly for the opening of two extra rooms to the new
"co-op".
These two rooms will be connected by an archway to the rest of the union, adding considerably more space and affording room for dancing. A record player will be used here if it does not interfere with the new nickelodeon which is to come soon. The second room is to be a lounge in which the students may relax. Tables will be ar- ranged in the two new rooms in order to take care of the increasing number of customers who visit the "co-op"
every day.
To keep abreast of the terrific turn- over another grill has been added to the sandwich counter. Both counters are now kept busy by students order- ing those delicious chocolate shakes and hamburgers.
Many new ideas have been offered
concerning the enlargement of the new union. It has been suggested that next year a Second Hand Book Ex- change be added to the union. Here, the students will be able to turn in their old books and also be able to purchase others.
Students are urged to save their money and become shareholders in the new "co-op". Sometime in the near future shares will be sold at one dollar and up. If a student is a share- holder, he will have the privilege of voting and helping to decide the af- fairs of the Campus Union.
Anyone interested may attend tha meetings which take place at eight o'clock oh Thursday evenings upstairs in Burdick Hall.
It was found necessary to elect a new president of the Senior Class as the amendment to the Student Senate which covers vacancies of class of- ficers left by students states that:
"Should any officer of any class fail to return to college at the beginning of the school year re-election for that of- fice will be held. Should the president of any class fail to return at the be- ginning of any school year a re-lection will be held for that office. However, should he drop out or for any reason be caused to withdraw from office dur- ing the school year the vice-president will automatically become president for the remainder of the school year."
Swanson was elected president from a group of candidates which also in- cluded Helen Dreher, Isabel Smith and Joanna Folts. Other officers, who will assist the new president, a r e : Margaret Long, vice-president; Har- riet N. Fisk, secretary; and Grace Kobernuss, treasurer.
The Freshman Class also chose its class officers last week, during an election Thursday, October 5, at Alum- ni Hall. The results of the voting showed Edwin Hooker as president, and Neysa Jean Dixon as vice-presi- dent. Joan Baird was chosen secre- tary of the Class of 1948, and Alfred L'Hommlieu is its treasurer. Edwin Hooker, the new president, will auto- matically become a member of the Student Senate, representing the Freshman Class.
Class officers for the Junior Class were chosen at elections held at the end of the second semester last year.
At that time Kalope Giopulos was named president and Carolyn Banks was chosen vice-president. Genevieve Mezey and Frances Bovee were elected to fill the positions of secretary and treasurer, respectively.
Also chosen at the end of the 1941- 45 college term were the officers of the Sophomore Class. Paul Meissner is president of this group and is as- sisted by Corinne Herrick as vice- president; Hhannah Saunders as sec- retary; and Marion McKenna as treasurer.
ACF To Present Dr. W. W. McCall
Sunday, October 15, the Alfred Christian Fellowship will present Dr.
W. W. McCall of Hornell at 7:15 in Social Hall. Dr. McCall's address will be the first in a series of educational programs featuring a series of talks by a minister, a rabbi, and a priest.
On the succeeding Sundays Rabbi Myron Movsky of Hornell and Father Gerald McMinn of Saint Bonaventure College will highlight the principal as- pects of their faiths. Rabbi Movsky and Father McMinn are the Jewish and Catholic chaplains on the Alfred campus.
The meeting of the fourth Sunday of October is tentatively listed as an open forum meeting.

Subservience?
Last year when the WSG constitution went up before the Senate for ratification, certain rules were ejected. Among these rules were several pertaining to freshman regulations.
That freshmen should not be allowed to walk on the grass and that all frosh should be required to say "Hello" to everyone were among those rules which the Senators last year deemed unnecessary and per- haps naive.
In rejecting these aforementioned rules, one wonders if the Sen- ate realized what deep significance this action had. One wonders if they could have foreseen an Alfred without lowly frosh: an Alfred where "Helios" and not the natural nonchalent gestures they used to be, an Alfred where freshmen are not made aware that they are not the most important, class on campus, an Alfred where the status of the freshman is as high as that of the lofty senior, an Alfred where an ancient tradition is no more.
Not only do the sophomores and upperclassmen feel slighted, but it seems that these freshmen are being deprived of an essential part of college life and tradition. They are missing the thrill that comes in disrespecting an upperclassman. They are missing the typical spirit of rivalry between freshmen and sophomores. They will, furthermore, miss the proud, elative feeling that should come to one as a sopho- more. Also they may not acquire theiruly big feeling of a senior.
We do not suggest that a Frosh Court be reinstated. We suggest, merely, that the freshman should again be required to say "Hello"
and again required to stay off the grass. These are a part of our Alfred tradition. These are a part of being a freshman. Let us carry on these customs and let us again require respect and subservience from the too free freshmen.

Cooperation
Expressed at the first convocation of agricultural and technical students last week was the hope that someday there would be no differentiation between them and other students on campus.
There has long been the tendency to exclude them from partict- pation in everyday college affairs. They have not, in the past, been made to feel free to associate with students of the colleges here. They have not been urged to take part in activities on campus. They have not had any direct contact with students outside their group either in student government or through participation in various clubs and discussion groups.
Already this year numerous organizations here on campus are try- ing to close the gap which has long stood between the Ag-Tech stud- ents and themselves. They have expressed a sincere hope that such a situation be quickly amended. They want the Ag-Tech students to join them in their activities. They want them to feel themselves a real and contributing factor to compus life. They want the feeling of dif- ferentiation between this and other groups on campus to cease.
This hope has reciprocal advantage. Students of both the Ag-Tech and other colleges can readily see the good which success of such a movement may bring about. Every group has something valuable to contribute. Especially now since there are fewer than usual students on campus does it seem foolhardy to allow an indifference to con- tinue. Cooperation is essential to any great project. This project—the unity of Alfred itself—is one to be given our utmost consideration.
So let us include all students in all our organizations and activities.
Let us all work together to make Alfred even greater than it is.

Have You Met. . . ?
Helen Dreher
For her 21 years, Helen Dreher has certainly achieved practically the greatest heights an Alfred woman can.
A senior this year and majoring in Sociology, one might think she had enough to take care of, but Helen is also President of her sorority, Pi Alpha Pi, Alfred Christian Fellows-hip President, a member of Phi Delta Ep- silon, member of the Church Executive Committee, Historian of Phi Sigma Gamma, on the Forum Committee and on the Board of Directors of the new Alfred "Campus Union." Since she has been in school, she has also been the Editor of the Fiat, as well as the News Editor of the Fiat for one year.
She was on the Senate last year, mem- ber of the glee club her sophomore year, and the War Adaptions Commit- tee last year.
Her home is in Wellsville, New York, right outside of Alfred, and when having a spare minute to her- self, she loves to knit, play bridge and watch football games. If you ever-have an evening in which you are dying for some interesting and different stories just drop up sometime and have Helen relate to you her experiences at the School for Delinquent Girls, Middle- town, Conn., where she acted as coun- sellor this summer.
Alfred might do well to keep an eye on Helen Dreher, one of its most out- standing students.
Harriet Norton Fisk
If you see a blur of light blue racing past you, as you are strolling quietly down the street, don't be too bewild- ered. It's just a blond haired, blue eyed senior from the business depart- ment rushing by as if there was a die- sel engine inside her.
"Snorky"(, hetter known as Mrs.
Harriet Norton Fisk is just bubbling over with personality, vitality, and energy. Editor of the Kanakadea this year, in the choir for four years, tap- ped for the National Honorary Liter- ary Society, Phi Delta Epsilon, Sec- retary of the senior class, roving sec- retary for all the professors in the Ag-Tech school, playing the piano, clarinet and saxaphone, she manages to be working any spare minute.
A town girl at heart, for Elkland, Pennsylvania is comparable to Alfred with its hills and valleys, she likes hiking and horses. Even when utiliz- ing every spare minute at work, in- cluding being house manager at Sigma Chi Nu sorority, she spends every other minute reading any book she can lay hold of, and listening to "long- haired" music.
Her knowledge of cooking, sewing, and interior decorating (right down to bright red furniture and yellow rooms) will certainly come in handy after the war. She was married to Capt. Charles Lewis Fisk, stationed at the Columbia Air base, Columbia, South Carolina, this summer., on July 16.

Note: The views expressed in thig column are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the editor or staff of the Fiat.
I remember very distinctly that it was a cold gray, rainy morning when I was rudely awakened by the news that Thomas E. Dewey and John W.
Bricker were the Republican candi- dates for the presidency of the United States. Prior to this shock I had heard one of t h e Berlin propaganda pundita announce his decision to enter the race too. It was quite humorous, but the Republican campaign so far is not very funny. I cannot help view it with a mixture of fascination and disgust.
Since that never-to-be forgotten day much water h a s passed under t h e bridge. Mr. Dewey says he wants t o make certain issues nonpartisan. This is all well and good, but seeing i» be- lieving. No doubt a great percentage of the American people are also won- dering how the Republican isolation- ists in the Senate are to be dealt with.
Wil their whispers become a roar af- ter the election?
I notice that t h e Republican cam- paign has been devoting an ever inr creasing amount of attention to t h e activities of the Political Action Com- mittee of the C. I. O. It has been per- sistently claimed that this organiza- tion is in the control of the Commun- ists. A great deal of political capital has been made of the fact that Mr.
Roosevelt is being backed, much t o his obvious dissatisfaction, by t h e Communist Political Association.
It is an untruth to say that the PAC is a communist organization. It ia liberal, but probably not that liberal.
Let us examine rather briefly t h e
"Red Peril" note which is being in- jected into the campaign. If we do, we will see that, even though there h«e been a reorganization of the mechan- ism of administration, the party line is still in existence. The weight be- hind this party line is now lending its support to the Democrats. But it work- ed equally hard to keep the President out of office in the last campaign year.
It must be constantly kept in mind that four years ago he was denounced by Browder and the bays a s a "war- monger", a "dictator", a "usurper of power", and an "oppressor of labor".
The communists will back the Demo- cratic platform only as long as the party line tells them too.
What is the reason for this abrupt about-face? Well, the fact that Russia is now receiving Lend-lease aid from the United States is about the- most important one. Turnabouts are very common occurrences with the twisting line.
There are many in this country who find themselves in perfect agreement wiith communist principles on paper.
These individuals may not, however, be classed as party members. The num- ber of members is amazingly small, certainly not enough to swing the elec- tion for either side.
But the Republicans have on their side a weapon which is quite formid- able and which we hear no complaints about. I refer to the Hearst-Patterson- McOormick press axis. Here we have the id>eal set-up for propaganda. The syndicate papers reach millions-. The axis constitutes a real political force which could swing the election to their own advantage.
The communists blow hard. The axis is in a position to play for keeps.

That forbidden territory for women
—th© Bartlett—has at last opened up its doors and let the members of "the weaker sex" climb its stairs up to—
the second floor. I sometimes wonder if I'll ever get over the guilty feeling I have whenever I begin to climb those stairs.
Imagine the startled expressions on the faces of Alfred's citizens as they walked by "the building" and heard female voices' emanating from within.
Such expressions as "May I borrow your blue dress?" and "Do you think I should get, a permanent?" and "What S'hade of nail polish should I wear tonight?" were never before spoken within those sacred walls. I wonder what the former occupants of the rooms would say if they could see the pink chintz spreads now adorning the beds.
The piano downstairs is probably wondering at the change from bass to soprano voices gathered around it for an evening of singing. The clack of high heels along the floors on Sunday mornings is quite a novelty, too. Knitt- ing needles and lipsticks, up to now unheard of objects in the Bartlett, now share an important place along with bobby pins and perfumes. The chatter of the girls about their date®, their hairdos, their coirrespondence must have been
1quite a shock to the old ears of Bartlett's walls after going through so many years
1of hearing the boys in their "bull sessions" discussing their dates, football games
1and who was going to win in the Major League.
Even the Bartlett must get used to the changes which a war brings.
We are all grateful to the Bartlett for lending itself so generously to the cause and permitting "girls" to be housed within its walls, but I am sure the whole building is going to breathe a sigh of relief when its boys come marching home to stay and it can
1go back to its old peaceful way of living.
Exams Scheduled
The president of the WSG announ- ced this week that the test on WSG rules and on the Alma Mater which is given to freshmen each year is sched- uled for Monday night, October 23, at 8:00.

SO THEY SAY
Jerry Price
Question: Are you in favor of carry- ing on the tradition of the Frosh Court this year?
Jim Heasly, '47: Yes! ! ! ! I don't see why things should be different from last year since the proportion of Frosh to upper-classmen has not changed. Why should we back away from the traditions that spell Al- fred? It seems that this year the Prosh have lost all respect for up- per-classmen. Some Frosh act as though they own the campus.
Francis Carr, '46: Sure! I think that it Is a fine precedent. In this man- ner, the Frosh will learn more about the upper-classmen and vise-versa.
The small penalties usually imposed help build respect toward the upper- classmen and the tradition of Alfred.
Ellsworth Barnard, Faculty: Having been asked to comment on the pro- posed re-establishment of the Frosh Court, I repeat what I have said be- fore : that it seems to me an example of organized infantilism, which no- body with intelligence can take seri- ously and nobody with taste con- sider funny. Here is one thing the war is not being fought to pre- serve.
C. Duryea Smith III, Faculty: Frosh Court, one of the mechanisms for accelerating the undergraduate's orientation in campus traditions, maintains its peculiar stress on Freshman rules. The absent-minded and the conventionally rebellious briefly publicize their offenses in antic penalties. So long as good na- ture and fair play are foundations of the court's actions, students will sanction its existence as a function of self-government. Non-students hope that within the frivolty of the Frosh Court qualities of leadership may develop.
Alessandro Giampetro, Faculty: There is nothing wrong with having Frosh Court. It is merely a matter of in- tentions and principles involved. If it is a wholesome, desire by both groups, upper-class and frosh, to get to know one another, to instill a spirit of true fraternization, then I find nothing to object to. If, how- ever, it is merely an escape valve for distorted intentions, then I am absolutely against it.
Ed Lever,'42: Definitely! It is a part of college education. It is a part of the tradition of Alfred which should not be abolished under any circum- stances. Frosh Court was active when I was a student, having been convinced myself for various mis- demeanors, and I have concluded that it is a worthwhile institution benefitting both upper-classmen and frosh.
Mr. G. A. Bunnell, Manager of Dormi- tories: I'm all for it. I think it is a good idea. Some of the Freshmen who come to Alfred could centrainly use some upper-class disciplining.
My son went through it last year and the results were beneficial.
Anthony Gerac), '48: Sure! It's a tra- dition which should not be abolished.
It brings back what would be classi- fied as "College Life". It would lower the ego of the Frosh which has swelled enormously. It should be dispensed this year because the Frosh would not be able to carry on these traditions in years to come.
Jean McDonald, '45: As far as I'm concerned, the Frosh Court is a tra- dition which is un-necessary and which should be abolished. The pur- pose of college life is to help us be- come self-sufficient, mature people, able to lead sensible lives. Treating new students as children defeats our

Alfred's Loss Is Shown By 22 Gold Stars
Newcomers to the campus have probably noticed the honor roll located near Burdick Hall of Al- fred Alumni who are now serving in their country's armed forces.
At present there are approximate- ly nine hundred and fifty names an the board and twenty-two of these have gold stars placed be- side them.
According to the latest survey the military dead and missing of Alfred University are Dr. Charles L. Stevens, Lieut. Commander, ex '25, dead;
Joseph E. Clavelle, Officer Candidate, '28, dead; Dr. Theodore Izasky Boyt, ex '35, missing; Walter S. Benedict, Ensign, ex '39, dead; Richard A. Mar- tin, 2nd Lieut., ex '39, killed; Dighton L. Polan, Lieut, (jg), '39, missing;
Theodore J. Ienczewski, 1st Lieut., '40, killed; Glen M. Mudge, 2nd Lieut., '40, dead; George P. Brown, Jr., Lieut.
(jg) '41, missing; and Edward P. Sch- leiter, Lieut., '41, killed.
Others who have made the supreme sacrifice are Carl J. Wdowka, 2nd Lieut., ex '41, killed; John C. Eggel- ton, Lieut., ex-'42, killed; Jack L. Kerr, ex '42, killed; John K. Murray, Sgt, ex '42, killed, Robert T. Swick, s 1/C, ex '42, missing; J. Raymond Callahan, Lieut., ex '43, missing; Edward M.
Dobson, 1st Lieut., ex '43, missing;
Donald W. HoefleT, 2nd ,Lieut, ex '43, killed; Melvin Perialas, Cpl., ex '43, killed; Richard H. Shinebarger, A/C, ex '43, killed; and Gordon L. Weaver, Lieut., ex '43, killed; and Charles Van Houten, Lieut ex '42, missing.
purpose. We should help our Fresh- men, not hinder them.
Doug Case, '47: I'm in favor of the Frosh Court. In the first place, it would give a lot of people a great deal of experience, but it must be run in a fair way, whereby they are permitted a defense, and civil treat- ment with lesser punishment, such as writing themes on the traditions of Alfred. A member of the Faculty should be one of the judges. Every- one should be invited to the trials including Frosh and townspeople.
Helen Dreher, '45: No! I think it is a lot of foolishness. I also believe that there are a great many other things which are more constructive.
I even think that the campaign for Frosh Court is stupid in itself.
Edgarr Abamson, '46: Where would Hector Fuddle be—if not for Fro3h Court? A sensible Frosh Court, created for the purpose of fostering Alfreds' traditions is needed as much this year as ever. And while we're at it, what happened to that ruling requiring common courtesy from the Frosh?
Corinne Herrick '47: Absolutely!
This year we've abolished too many customs, which were supposedly traditional. I think that the Frosh should have a chance to wear green hats, dunce caps, etc; so that they can really feel superior when they get to be Sophomores.
SPORTSBULLETIN
Old man weather fs being very agree- able this year especially on Saturday afternoons. The only complaint he has is that not many of the fair coeds take advantage of his generosity.
Frosh girls, you. don't have to wear the traditional green caps and play in the Frosh Soph Hockey game in order to take them off. However, the upper- classmen would still like to tussle with you in some good hockey games for tradition's sake. A practice game is scheduled for this Saturday and we would like to have all of you girls come out and give a good show.
The Interclass Hockey Tournament is starting this month so practice up and who knows you might put some upperclassmen to shame.
The Fall Tennis Tournament started with singles played between Charlotte Albiston '47, and Ellen Levy '48. The latter won by a score of 6 to 3.
The South Hall gym is opened for the girls on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night, and for the boys on Monday and Friday nights. This gives everyone on campus the opportunity to participate in at least one of the many sports offered this year.
Incidentally girls, here's a list of girls who you should get to know be- cause they will be very important as soon as the sport season gets under way. They are: Jane Parvin '45, manager of Tennis; Maragaret Long '45, manager of Hockey; Ruth Weitz '45 manager of Basketball; Genevieve Polan '45, manager of Archery; and Marty Miner '46, point recorder.
Brickees Choose Genevieve Polan As Dorm Prexy
The girls who are living in the Brick this year organized themselves at a meeting held there Sunday, Sept- ember 22. Genevieve Polan
1'46 was elected Brick president, Edna Levy '46 vice president, and Edna Jane Mc- Bride '46, secretary. The house council- ors, Margaret Long '45 and Leah Rap- tis '46, presided over the meeting.
Edna Jane McBride was also elected' the Brick W. S. G. representative, while Jean M. Keesler '48 and Barbara J. Adamy '48 were chosen as freshmen representatives at a second meeting Thursday, September 28. Social: Chair- men elected for the year are Grace E. Congdon '48, first floor, Daphne Phillips, second floor '47, and Ruth Macaulay '48, third floor.

Ceramic Guild Plans Activities
A Ceramic Guild meeting was held in the Ceramic Lounge at 11 o'clock, Friday morning, Oct. 6, to discuss fur- ther ways of acquainting visitors and students with the work of the School of Ceramic Design here in Alfred.
"Bea" Jackson, the president of the guild, presided over the meeting of Ceramic juniors and seniors which comprise the members of the guild.
They decided to have a party, Oct.
13, from 8 o'clock until 10:30, in the Ceramic Lounge of the whole Ceramic School for the purpose of introducing and meeting the new freshmen artists.
One of the main differences between the guild of this year and the guild of previous years is to incorporate the freshmen and sophomores into the work of the guild, so that they may have a knowledge of its workings be- fore they are juniors and automatical- ly members.
There have been tentative plans*
made toward having the Guild sale, which usually came before Christmas, come right before the Spring Vacation in March. This is due to the fact that the students will be occupied the be- ginning of the year with the competi- tive problem of a Design Display for the State of New York, which is to be permanently situated in one of the state buildings in Albany.
Staff To Meet In Office A combined meeting of the editorial staff and all other staff members
1has been slated for this evening at 7:15, stated Kalope Giopulos, editor-in-chief of the Fiat. The meeting will be held at the Fiat office in Greene Block.
Students in- the AgTech Institute who are interested in newspaper work are urged, to attend this meeting as are all other students who would like to work on the weekly.
