GRAPPLERS CLOSE SEASON WITH
1 5 1 - 2 - 1 4 1 - 2 WIN OVER ST. LAWRENCE
Overcoming the individual scoring power of St. Lawrence University, a balanced Alfred University wrestling team concluded its 1931-32 season here in the Davis Track and Field House Saturday night with a close 14%-15%
triumph.
Although the Canton aggregation registered two fall victories, two time decisions and a default, the Saxons were on the long end of the score.
Three draws were recorded in the 118
:135, and 175 pound classes.
The matches, the roughest witnessed at Alfred this year, forced Referee Seidlin to caution the grapplers many- times. Grantier and Van DeWeyhe staged a brief boxing show that was quieted by the referee.
The spectators were in a constant turmoil due either to the roughness or the spectacular qualities of the grap-j
m MAN TEAM WINS RELAY IN BUFFALO
A dark-horse Alfred University re- lay team went to Buffalo, Saturday night, defeated four other Western New York college teams and returned home with a great, big, silver loving cup that has inscribed upon it, "Win- ners of the Half-Mile Football Relay Run".
'Twas surprisin indeed. Few of the 5,000 people who witnessed the indoor
! novelty athletic show in Buffalo's j 174th Armory had even known that
| the Eagle's Lodge, sponsors of the I meet, had invited an Alfred team to compete against Buffalo, St. Bonaven- ture, Canisus and Niagara schools.
Came time for the football relay, after bycycle races and other events had been run off. Opinion favored pling itself. The three draw decisions

Robinson, referee's position, got down to earnest
g n dwork. The Bantam Saxon grappler seemed to have the edge over his wary opponent, but failed to secure a suf- ficient time advantage in two extra periods.
Perhaps the most scientific and out- standing match was in the 126 pound class between Vezzolli of Alfred and Gault of the visitors. Only the wrest- ling skill and ability of the cagy Vez- zoli enabled him to stay with his man j the length of time he did.
From the 135 pound class, the card began to take on the aspects of a j rough and tumble. When Yunnizzi' of the Larries failed to gain any ad- vantage over Stanton, he resorted to butting his opponent in an effort to overpower him. Neither man secured a decisive advantage so the referee called the match a draw.
Davidson in the 145 and Graham in the 165 pound classes took three points each for Alfred with time victories.
Neinhardt time and again tried to evade Davidson, who consistently threw him to the mat but could not wring out a fall win. Degeronino was out-classed by Graham but managed to stick through without being thrown.
Captain Felli was forced to the bench. He had no opponent and an- nexed five points through default.
Grantier and Van DerWayhe with the opening signal started roughing it up.
A slight dispute was settled and they continued on until the last minute of the fray, when Grantier incensed by a blow from Van DerWeyhe, extracted a tooth from his opponent. The match

C E R A M I C SOCIETY DISCUSSES PLANS
The Ceramic Society met in Labora- tory Hall at 7:00 P. M., Thursday, Feb. 25th. The moving picture "The Wizardry of Wireless" was shown.
A discussion of ways and means to increase the interest in the organiza- tion was conducted. Among the sug- gestions that were offered were the following: An engineering smoker, an engineering weiner roast when the weather becomes more stable, talks by the upper classmen aimed to give the underclassmen an idea of what they were going to need if they con- tinued the course in Ceramic En- gineering, debates on subjects pertain- ing to the ceramic industry, and the securing of outside lectures.
Following the discussion a brief ac- count of some of the happenings at the convention of the American Cer- amic Society at Washington was given. The next meeting will be Wed- nesday, March 9th.
that 220 yard lap by a one yard margin to pass the pigskin to Buckley, who continued around the same distance even.
Buckley slipped the ball to Vance, who opened wide. He made up the difference and on the back lap gained three yards by the end of the lap.
Jay Ryskin took the ball and the dis- tance advantage, held both for the remaining 220 yards and rushed across the finish line ahead of Canisus and St. Bonas' men for victory.
It was an exciting race and when it was finished few people asked questions. They knew Alfred had won the race and except for a few j expressions of condolence for the cellar Buffalo and Niagara teams, the gallaries showed their enthusiasm and support of the Saxons with rounds of applause and cheering.

DR. BINNS HONORED v BY GUILD DINNER
Tuesday evening, the members of the Ceramic Guild met at the Social Hall for a farewell dinner given in honor of Dr. Chas. F. Binns, who has recent- ly retired from his position in the Ceramic School.
Geneseo Normal's cagers avenged a previous defeat here a few weeks ago, when on their own court Saturday night they nosed out the yearlings of Alfred University in the last three and a half minutes of play. The final score was 39-35.

Whaley deadlocked the ledgers, while baskets by Hanson and Button sent the Frosh into the lead for the first time. A field goal by Whaley and a foul by Adessa with Geneseo scoring once put the count at 21-16 at half- time.
Geneseo came back to show the same dogged spirit that Afred showed earlier in the game. It was not as brilliant or fast-rising as that of Al- fred's, however, and not until those last few minutes did their barrage prove effective.

Both teams are fast cutting and pivoting aggregations, while the Saxons in addition use a series of block plays. These plays should greatly increase the Frosh scoring power.

Bunker and what did he do to the hill?" I

To the Editor:
In an article which appeared some time ago in the Fiat, regarding the seminar rooms on the second floor of;
the library by one who signed himself
"Frosh", the librarian is of the opin- ion that, if there are any Frosh pre- pared to do research work the main floor of the library is adequate to meet any such demand. The rooms on t h e ' second floor were originally intended | for seminar rooms where students i might pursue special lines of work under the direction of their professors. I In every case admirfion to the rooms |
•was by card countersigned by a mem-:
ber of the faculty. Some time later:
owing to the fact that the faculty did I not make general use of the rooms, they were thrown open to the students who wished to study quietly and un- molested. This privilege has been abused so frequently of late that it was thought best to close the rooms altogether temporarily. Now, if there are students who can be relied upon to use these seminar rooms properly in keeping with the original intention and not as smoking parlors or for other purposes not compatible with good library usage and can assure the librarian that they will be thus used arrangements may be made whereby admission to them may be granted by procuring keys at the office. P'urther- more if there are students who may have complaints to make or who may desire further information regarding this whole question, the librarian will be very glad to have an interview with any such student in his office. He is confident that the students will appre- ciate the situation and co-operate in every legitimate way with him in maintaining good usage of every li- brary privilege.
C. R. Clawson, Librarian.
Xow that we have some real honest to goodness talkies why not make wider use of the equipment. Last year we had Einstein's "Theory of Relativity," and other silent films can be obtained at a low or negligible rent- al. The department of education is probably aware of the films in which outstanding educators demonstrate in j talking pictures the most modern methods of teaching various subjects, i
Then, too. count me in for Sunday evening programs. Why not have i some of the religious, educational or wholly entertaining films. Even with j my Puritan background I can't see j anything objectionable about Ben-!
Hur, William Tell, Shakespeare, or to be a little more modern—Will Rogers, in Business and Pleasure, Arliss i n : The Man Who Played God and others I have read about. I could stand a little news and even a Mickey House without being any the worse in my!
efforts in learning.
What do you say? Let's have church. Let's go to Hornell—and what'll we see. The management says it is open to suggestions. I hope these few are acceptable.
The elections are nothing but a series of childish plays. "If you'll do one thing, I'll do the other." An in- dividual does not have the right to his own opinions as to how to cast his own ballot. If his house has pledged to back up another, for loyalty to his own house he must vote the way they say, regardless of the person to be elected. It does not appear that the character, personality and capability of the individual are the qualities that are sought after and stressed!
when the candidates are put into office.

To the Editor:
There have been many and interest- ing discussions on World Topics tak- ing place at the Social Hall every Sunday night. When the idea was first introduced it was accepted with much gusto. But as is the fate of all new things and ideas, the novelty soon wore off, and the attendance at these meetings is ever dwindling taster and faster.
Alfred students speak of the nar- rowness and bigotry on the campus and yet when the opportunity pre- sents itself for advance, cosmopolitan ideas to replace those localized ones,:
no advantage is taken of it. Do the students want these Sunday night meetings or would they rather that!
they be discontinued? Since large groups are those in which a greater j number of ideas may be interchanged, why not come out and support an extra-curricular activity from which!
you yourself can derive some benefit.
Don't allow walking and to be your only pastimes! Avoid stagna-'.
tion! Do something for that mind of yours—come out and participate in the discussions this very Sunday.

CHICKEN DINNER
McLEOD ATTENDS PRE- COLLEGE CONFERENCE
Alfred University was represented.
by Chaplain McLeod and George ,;
Monks at the Pre-College Conference, which was held at Flushing, L. I., Feb. 26th and 27th, under the auspices of the Hi-Y Club of that city.
Attending the conference were rep- resentatives from many Xew York State high schools and colleges, who i contributed to the discussion of prob- lems confronting the average high j school student contemplating college as well as those which arise during the pursuit of a higher education.
Have you ever stopped to examine the origin of political parties; not from the historical viewpoint but from your own experiences in college?
It has always been said, that the hab- its you form in college will stick with ! you throughout the rest of your life.
After one election period in college one realizes that "truer words were never spoken".
At election time it is not the ability of the candidate at stake that matters.
but the prestige of the social unit to which he belongs. At the nominating j meeting each unit tries to nominate one member of the house, often re- gardless of his ability to fulfill the position. Another unit nominates their own candidate and one from the first unit, just to split the votes. If one member from the former does not withdraw, the race is almost won for the latter.
Another trick of the game is to have two separate houses running for j two separate offices on the campus There is a mutual agreement that one!
house will vote for the other house if the former will back up the latter in I getting the office that they are after.
INTERFRATERNITY GLEE CLUB STARTED
The Interfraternity Glee Club has held several meetings during the past few weeks; the Club is under the di- rection of Mrs. Reynolds. The mem- bers have been practicing a few songs ;
and it is expected that these numbers will play an important part in the Junior Follies.
