The rules and regulations for tfyis closed system will be made public at 7 p.m. in Howell Hall a t the In- ter-Fraternity Smoker.
Since AU has a closed rushing system and students in violation of It will be denied the right to join a fraternity, it is imperative that all male students who have not gone through a closed rushing sea- son attend.
This new system of rushing and pledging will field a new attitude toward scholarship including a min- imal index for pledging and an im- proved tutorial system available to all fraternity men. This year more than ever before the jO^> of picking their freshman class will become more difficult for the houses since only three out of every five fresh- me'n can possibly be taken into a fraternity.
The Council would like to express its congratulations to the fresh-, man 'class on their acceptance to AU and wish them the best of suc- cess in their freshman year.
CIVIL SERVICE JOBS AVAILABLE TO YOU Applications are desired for tech- nologist positions paying from $4, 980 to $12,770 a year. The posi- tions are located in various federal agencies In Washington a n d throughout the US as well as in ov- erseas areas.
Record Freshman Class Registered at Alfred U.
Approximately three hundred and seventy-five new students, includ- ing the largest group of freshmen
ever enrolled, registered at Alfred University during this past week.
The Admissions Office announc- ed that this class was chosen from 1100 applications and includes stu- dents from 42 states and eight foreign countries. Exact enrollment figures have not been released as yet.
The new students arrived on cam- pus Sunday, September 14 for the traditional freshman tea, held at Howell Hall. That evening all the
"frosh" entered Alumni Hall to meet personnel deans, student ad- visors and other University per- sonnel. Afterwards, the class sol- emnly walked the path from Alum- ni Hall to the Men's Gym for the annual beanie presentation.
After a day of extensive test- ing, Monday evening new students were treated to a free showing of
"imitation General." Tuesday was spent in meetings with academic deans, and in touring the campus.
Another busy day was ended with a banquet in the Brick dining room and an informal dance a t the Men's Gym.
On Wednesday, the class Of 1962 attended their first assembly, which introduced them to- the many extra- curricular activities available to Alfredians.
The evening saw frosh swinging their partners at a square dance sponsored jointly by the Alfred Out- ing Club and the Student Senate.
On Thursday, freshmen, identi- fied throughout the week by their traditional green beanies, could be seen hurrying hack and forth be- tween the dormitories and South Hall with their prized possessions
—a catalogue and schedule of courses—as they attempted to get through the process known as reg- istration.
A weary bunch of students, fresh- men and upperclassmen alike, start- ed classes Friday morning. That evening, a football demonstration and pep rally followed by an Ev- erybody Dance Jazz Session at the Student1 Union had the campus rocking and rolling.

by Gail Chasm Returning students are noting with nostalgia, and new students with wonder, the windowless build- ing standing opposite Kanakadea Hall on State Street.
This building is Kenyon Memori- al Hall, which until last June hous- ed the Romance Languages and Classical Language departments, and the Kenyon Chapel.
The building was named as a memorial to the late William C.
Kenyon,. known to his students as
"BC|ss" Kenyon, the first President of Alfred University. Kenyon Hall was the third addition to the phy- sical plant of the campus during the administration of Jonathan Al- len, second president of the Univer Bity.
The memorial to President Ken- yon was started on September 13, 1875, with a small groundbreaking ceremony. The building was dedi- cated on October 25, 1882. Judge S. O. Thacher, an AU aliumnus, was the orator at the first session. Al- though dedicated in 1882, it wasn't until April 23, 1884 that classes met there.
Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess."
The final Forum of the season will feature the New York Pro Mm- sica. conducted by Noah Greenberg.
This famous ensemble is devoted to pre-18th century music.
All Forums will take place in Alumni Hall at 8:15 p.m.
Magazine Woman To Visit Campus
Madamoiselle magazine is spon- soring a tea to be held tomorrow afternoon at 4 p.m. in Howell Hall.

Elizabeth Hoppin, Campus Re- porter for the College and Career Department of Mademoiselle will be on campus that day to interest women in that magazine's Ant, Fiction and College Board Coo- tests.
Along with the tea, Miss Hoppin will schedule talks with those wo- men students who are active on campus publications and who are prominent In other creative activi- ties.
Kenyon Memorial Hall The cost of Kenyon was some
$18,000. The Hall was expected to he in its prime centuries hence due to the solid construction—thick stone walls from foundation to at- tic and faced with brick.
Demolition began on this histor ic building during the past sommer
It is expected that the proposed new Campus Center will occupy the same site some time in'the f u ture. Plans for the new Center are not yet complete. When they are completed, the plans and a picture of the building will be displayed in the Herrick Memorial Library.

PAGE TWO THE FIAT LUX, ALFRED, NEW YORK TUESDAY, SEPT. 23, 1958
From the Editors . . .
In the beginning. . .
This past week has brought back to the Alfred campus the student that distinguishes a college community from any other community. We are at the beginning of a new year, a year that will hold within it all the varied.hopes and aspirations of a di- verse student body. It is usual at this time for the campus newspaper to offer words of welcome, encouragement, and ad- vice to those of the student body who are new to the college community.
We have found that the freshman problem of adjustment to the college environment is solved mere readily in the social di- rection than in the political. Mere passivity cannot serve in any positive way to make the student a good citizen of his college community. For this, active participation is the only means to ob- tain a goal which should occupy a prominent position in the mind of the freshman.
Participation in collegiate affairs encompasses many fields:
extra-curricular activities, student government, attendance at the various academic functions, even a favorable attitude in class—all are vehicles for student expression.
The year ahead offers especially to you freshmen, limitless possibilities for self-fulfillment. You are entering upon that phase of your lives in which opportunity for you to cultivate latent talents and aptitudes is at the highest level.
A college degree implies far more than the mere comple- tion of course requirements; it also connotes that the holder of that degree has reached the point at which he can be referred to as an "educated'' person. That subtle difference in grammati- cal definition between schooling and education becomes, when applied to the person, an evident means for distinguishing in- dividuals.
Now, in the beginning, is the time for you to determine which path you will follow for the remainder of the year and for the rest of your college days. Recognize your duties as new college citizens and take the right path to your goals.
The staff, of the FIAT LUX wishes to extend to the class of 1962 a cordial and sincere welcome to the responsibilities, pleasures and excitement of citizenship in the college com- munity.
Letters to the Freshmen
SENATE WELCOME Traditionally, the New Year has been a time for celebration, re- evaluation and resolution. Septem- ber, the beginning of the students' year, connotes the excitement of football games, pep rallies, parties and dances. More importantly, how- ever, it should be a time for the re-assessment of the individual stu- dent's educational aims.
When asked to reply in twenty- five words or less why he liked the Roy Rogers Show, a youngster an- swered "I like the Roy Rogers Show because when it's over Mick- ey Mouse comes on." Similarly, ma- ny students see their college ex- perience as a four-year period of hibernation preoeeding graduation.
Others calculate their education for its intellectual contribution. We students are accused of being mem- bers of a self-centered, uninformed, and unconcerned generation. And yet, we profess to be the enlighten- ed few, the potential leaders of our society.
This is our New Year. This is a time for resolution. We have a choice: we may be that which we profess to be—or—we may be that of which we are accused.

Catalog Shows Curriculum Changes;
Courses Numbering System Altered
The beginning of a school year is generally a good time for chang- es to take effect. This year, beBides new faculty members; building plans, and students, there have also been some changes in AU's I curriculum.
One obvious difference can read- ily be found by glancing at the university catalog. Upperclassmen will speedily note that courses have been assigned new numbers based on a three rather than a two num- ber basis. This system helps to specify what academic classes may take certain courses.
Changes in curriculum have tak- en place in many of the depart- ments, among them the biology' de-
partment. This year, zoology and dition of Mr. and Mrs. Andrews of botany have been coordinated so they may be taken concurrently by Bio. majors in the sophomore year. The courses will also be three credits each per semester instead of four.
The History and Poli. Scd. dep.
will offer for the first time a course concerning Western Europe from 1300-1815. The comparative govern- ment course has 'been expanded and will be offered as a year course.
Formerly it was only for one se-
mester. e
Perhaps the major curriculum change has taken place in the music department. This year for the first time, students will be able to ob- tain a major in this field. The ad-

And we'll bet they're going steady with The New York Times, too.
They know that it's a smart, interesting way to keep up-to-date on the off-campus world.
They know The New York Times is a profitable habit, it ties in with their studies of government, politics and business. It gives them timely facts for class discus- sions and campus bull sessions.
And it supplies them with food for thought on their favorite interests—sports, literature, music and the theatre, radio, TV and the movies.

The Sports Corner
by Jay Henis—Fiat Lux Sports Editor
This column will deal, for the most part, with University athletics and related topics. However, for the first edition of the paper, I would like to digress and devote it to the fresh- men, who have just completed a delightful week of mass con- fusion.
Most of you are, no doubt, attempting the impossible task of befriending everyone who happens to float past your blurry eyes. You have met several hundred people and you remember the names of perhaps three or four. After a week of orientation, you are completely dizzy, absolutely confused, monumentally disoriented, and too tired to care.
You are now college students and so you must act as all college students should act. You will attend nightly bull sessions in the room down the hall. You will visit the Union ritualistical- ly. You will play the juke box ritualistieally. You will expound on things that seem to be expoundable, and you will listen with rapport as others in your group expound. And if you do you are normal.
But the newness will rub off with the beanie and things Will settle into a routine as they always do. If you are a true Alfredian you will come to hate the weather in general and the snow in particular; you will grumble about 8 o'clock classes and complain bitterly about the hard chairs in the civilization lecture hall; you will stop waking up for breakfast and you will sleep late on Saturday. And above all, you will come to love Alfred, for it will be your home and your teacher.
Of course, life in this small town will not be suitable to all of you and for one reason or another some of you will leave Alfred. But those of you who stay, will find the four years allot- ted to you passing with incredible speed. You will have many hours of happiness here, but for a few of you there will be times when the world seems to close in around you and you will find yourself alone. At those times you will find, within yourself, the strength that will enable you to cope with whatever you must, and you will emerge better human beings.
And one June day, not very far off, you will listen to a speaker as he addresses you on some topic of importance, and you will receive your diplomas. If Alfred has taught you well, your ears will be a little more willing and yotir tongues may be a bit more reluctant. You will know far less than you do now, and you will be far wiser.

Freshmen Gridders Impress;
Will Play Cortland In Opener
Sept. 27 marks the opening of the 60th Saxon football season Next Saturday Coach Yunevich will unveil the 1968 version of the A U. football squad at uorcland. With only 7 lettermen and three starter»
returning from last year's lineup.
Coach Yunevich faces the problem of -converting fresh talent into polished ball players. However hf»
has more than ample talent among the 21 newcomers to the Warrior squad, which he says is "A team that shows promise."
Among the returning lettermen a r e four probable starters in the line; Joe Yannuzzi, a junior tackle from Johnson City; Bob Parke, another junior tackle from Endi
<*>tt; Bill McAlee, a junior from Johnsonburg, Pa., at guard; and Gordon Feather, a junior from Hackensack, N.J., who saw a good deal of action last year at center Coach Yunevich is fortunate to have Jim Ryan once again in the fullback slot after a year's absence Jim, a senior from Allegany, was the leading scorer on the 1956 A1 fred team that holds the all-time Alfred scoring record of 245 points.
That same year he was given hon- orable mention on the Little All America Squad for his fine offen-
Attention All Cagers
Tonight, at 7:30 p.m., a bas- ketball meeting will be held in the Men's Gym for all fresh- men and upperclassmen who are interested in playing this year.
Members of last year's fresh- man and varsity squads are re- quired to attend this meeting.
AH persons interested in working on the FIAT LUX, should either come to the office or call 5402.
Special to the Fiat Lux by Joshua Fierer
sive work totaling 11 touchdowns and 72 points.
Along with Ryan in the back- field will be two newcomers; An- drew Lopez, a freshman from New Hyde Park, at one halfback posi- tion, and Richard Falcigno, a frosh from White Plains at the other halfback spot. The quarterback slot will be occupied by Mike Thrasher and Clyde Juergens. Tom Cechini, a junior from Buffalo will be back at end after earning his let- ter at halfback last season. Joe Kelly, a soph from Port Allegheny, Pennsylvania has been shifted from the backfield to end. Other line- men who will supply power include Lyle Wiedman and Bob Cranston, guards from Springville.
For the first time in years Coach Yunevich has depth in his back- field with backs like Neil Ritz, fullback from Buffalo, Dick Demott, a halfback from Sayvllle, who saw some action last season, and sev- eral other promising freshmen. The dhief problem here is the develop- ment of a quarterback who will fill the shoes of the experienced Jim Hartnett, wh6 graduated last year.
However, the capabilities are there and success depends on how fast the newcomers can gain experience.
The line, although lacking in depth, overshadows the backfield in ex- perience, and so if the oldtimers can hold, this year's Saxons should, top last season's won-2, lost-4, tied-1 record.
