NIGHT
Final Court Game Of Season With Powerful Pennsylvania
Team
PURPLE QUINT PRIMED FOR HARD STRUGGLE
On Saturday evening at Academy Hall the purple and gold Varsity quint will tackle the fast five from Ursinus College in the final game of the season. The Pennsylvanians are reported to have a powerful court machine, and Alfred will be forced to show better form than has been ex- hibited in the last two games if vic- tory be secured. Ursinus takes the court at Mansfield on Friday night against Coach Kichline's strong Nor- mal College team, and the players will arrive here Saturday afternoon.
While the Varsity has passed a rather disappointing season, losing nine out of twelve games played, there Is still hope of victory in the Ursinus contest. It is well known that many reasons have contributed to the ill- luck of the purple this year. With a green team on a small and strange court at Hamilton, Coach Wesbecher's men were forced to taste defeat in the opening collegiate contest by an
overwhelming score at the hands of the powerful quint of Colgate. Then in quick succession, Buffalo and Thiel appeared. The former, one of the fastest collegiate teams in the east, triumphed by a 29-7 score, while Thiel won a bitter battle by a single point.
Since then Alfred has had variable luck, but a majority of the games have been chalked on the wrong side of the ledger.
Banks, one of the veterans on whom purple supporters depended for the bulk of the scoring, has been in- capacitated during the greater part of the year. E. Campbell was for a time ineligible, while Holley has been troubled with a bad ankle. Ford did not appear for practice until after the Christmas recess, and was absent for more than a week while attending a Ceramic convention at Columbus. B.
Witter did not return to college until the second term, and had had little practice previous to that time. R.
Witter, Hinchliff, Ahern, and R.
Campbell are the only members of the squad who have been in condition to play in every game, with the excep- tion of Lanphere, who started the sea- son at center.
The fact that the team has not j genial diners and helped to put every- been a winning combination is not

KLAN ALPINE MEN IN THIRD ANNUAL.BANQUET
Alfred's Newest Fraternity Steps Into Limelight
FINE INTER-FRATERNAL SPIRIT SHOWN
Soft lights, a dreamy waltz, a tired but satisfied crowd in full-dress wend- ing their way out of Firemens Hall and t h e Third Annual Banquet and Ball of Klan Alpine Fraternity passed on into the annals of Alfred's history.
The night of March 5th will long be remembered by all who were pres- ent as one of the most enjoyable nights yet witnessed in Alfred.
As the town clock was striking six, the reception line formed in the re- ception room of Firemens Hall and the guests were made acquainted with each other, with the members, and with the Alumni of the Fraternity. In a few minutes everyone was seated in the spacious dining room and Mrs.
Post, one of the best of Alfred's caterers, and her corps of helpers, came into their own. The tables were tastefully decorated in green and white, while long streamers of the same colors, suspended over them, ex- tended from end to end of the room.
From each corner and from each side similar streamers ran to and the three chandeliers in the center of the hall. Large vases of white carnations, placed in the cen- ter of each table added a homelike at- mosphere which surrounded the con- one at his ease.
At the end of the banquet, the toast-

"and we have a share in her as well as you."
Charles Stamm represented the Eta j Phi Gamma, Oliver Ferry represented
the Delta Sigma Phi, and N. Contee Searles represented the Theta Gamma Fraternity. In response to the toast- master these guests expressed their appreciation of this beginning of a new and better inter-fraternal spirit.
Prof. W . A . Titsworth, Prof. Joseph Seidlin, and Dean Paul E. Titsworth also added fitting and able toasts for the occasion.

YORK
The sixteen men composing the Al- fred College Glee Club have been finally chosen by competition from the student body for their superior singing ability and the blending quality of their voices, and on March 12th will leave Alfred on a two weeks' trip to' eastern New York and New Jersey.
The trip will this year include the the Klansmen and their guests as- annual banquet of the New cended the stairs to the dance hall
where Lake's Orchestra was waiting eagerly to start the "ball" rolling.
Many exclamations of delight and admiration came from the guests when they beheld t h e decorations.
Everywhere the royal colors of Old A. U. were to be seen, while in the background the Lincoln green and russet grey, the Klan colors, gleamed through the maze of woven streamers and festoons of purple and gold, a fitting symbol of the ties which bind the Klan to its Alma Mater and t h e Klansmen to their Klan. A roof of gold and purple streamers canopied the whole hall, while a lattice-work of the same material covered the sides and joined the network of the roof, giving the whole a cozy and pleasing effect.
The stage, too, came in for its share of decoration. Long bars of purple and gold extended from the ceiling of the stage to the floor and a fence of streamers which joined these bars pre- vented the orchestra from escaping in any direction. Below t h e footlights a large and beautiful Alfred banner greeted the eye of all as they entered the ball room and welcomed each guest as he made his ingress.
From the ridgepole of the gaily colored roof of streamers red, white, and blue balloons swung down in well- planned rows which set off the other decorations successfully and artistical- ly. But why was that big basket of balloons hanging suspended from the center of the room? Everyone want-

SENATE NOTES
The eighteenth regular meeting of the Student Senate was called to order March 2, 1921, by the President. A motion was carried to postpone the Third Assembly Dance, scheduled for March 12th, until next term. The Wee Playhouse plays were changed from March 17th to March 12th. The Freshmen girls were granted permis- sion to go without their caps to the Ag Junior play, March 3d, and to the Eta Phi Gamma banquet, March 10th.
WEE PLAY HOUSE IN FIRST PUBLIC PRO-
DUCTION
Little Theatre A Marvel of Its Kind
THREE ONE-ACT PLAYS ON SAT*
URDAY EVENING, MARCH 12
At the Wee Playhouse all is now in readiness for the initial perform- ance in the new theatre. The three charming short plays which have been chosen for this event—Dunsany's "The Tents of the Arabs," the 47 Work- shop's "Three Pills in a Bottle," and Labiche's "Spelling" the translations of Dr. Paul E. Titsworth, will be given on Saturday, March 12, a t 8:30 P. M. The seating capacity of t h e little auditorium is however only about 150 and on this account the management has made arrangements to repeat its first bill in a matinee production on Monday, March 14 at 4 o'clock. Seats for both of these performances will go on sale at Ellis' drug store on Thursday at noon and will also be sold at the theatre for a half hour before the beginning of the plays. The prices are 50 and 75 cents. In common with the 47 Work- shop at Harvard and many other small theatres the Wee Playhouse will ob- serve the custom of closing its doors at the beginning of each act at all performances and of reopening them only at the conclusion of the act.
This practice is necessitated by the dimensions of the theatre and all pat"
rons are urged to be present prompt- ly at the beginning of the program so as to secure places before the cur- tain rises. Everything possible has been done to make this little playhouse an attractive and pleasant home for the drama. The comfort of the spec*
tators has not been overlooked and such things as the cloak room in the miniature lobby where wraps may be checked free of charge will, it Is hoped, be appreciated by patrons. The production of the plays and their settings have been very carefully worked out in all details and it Is expected that a good audience will see the results of this care on Sat»
urday and Monday.
1922 KANAKADEA SOON TO APPEAR
ROYCROFTERS HARD AT WORK
The 1922 Kanakadea, t h e result of extended effort and vigor by the Junior class, is now \ nearing final stages. Up at East Aurora, N. Y., t h e Roycroft Print Shops have been busy for some time at this work. Just how Isootn it will appear has not been definitely stated, but the fact remains that a t some time before exams, t h e Juniors will quietly sally forth for the annual publication banquet. It is said that the 1922 Kanakadea is, in many ways, a marked departure from the usual type. Some new devices have been instituted which are sure to bring forth a year book of real merit.
The advent is eagerly awaited by students and faculty alike.
AG JUNIOR PLAY A BIG SUCCESS
"The Neighbors" Meets With Great Approval
WELL TRAINED AND SELECTED CAST
The Juniors of Agricultural School ably presented a clever comedy call- ed "The Neighbors" last Thursday at Firemens Hall. The entertainment
"was planned for the benefit of the 1922 Kanakadea, and proved to be a big success in every way. The mat- inee was not so well attended as the evening performance, due to the num- bers of students busy in afternoon classes and labs.
"The Neighbors," a one-act play by Zona Gale, depicted a succession of humorous and human scenes in the kitchen of Mis' Dianthy Abel. Mary Prentice took the part of Mis' Abel with much ease and poise, and Helen Chaffee had a good character part as Grandma. Mis' Elmira Moran, Mis' Trot and Ezra, who1 as neighbors
"happened in" to talk with Mis' Abel, were well taken by Martha Tilden, Genevieve Button and Duane Ander- son, respectively. The women folks, after some gossiping, planned a shower for a little orphan boy who was expected to come that evening to live with his aunt, Mis' Carry Els- worth. After the neighbors had col- lected a large amount of clothing and food supplies, Mis' Elsworth came in to announce that the boy could not come. The shower was not held, but the neighborhood had felt again the sacrificing spirit so common among simple, good hearted "folks." A romantic touch was added to the final scene when Peter, an awkward lad, well taken by Leland Rosier, over- dame his bashfulness toward Inez, Mis' Abel's daughter, played by Lil- lian Martin.
All the parts were well chosen by Miss Bleiman, who coached the play.
She also deserves the major part of praise for developing the production so successfully in a short time.
Before the play Miss Frances Wit- ter rendered a piano solo and Miss Ruth Phillips sang. For about two hours following the show, Volk and Gibson furnished the inspiration for those who stayed to enjoy the dance.
The cast of the play was as follows:
W. F. Midgeley spent the week-end at Rochester where he visited Mort Fox, who is at the Y. M. C. A. there.
He says that Mort wants to be re- membered to all the people at school.
The Federal Board Club is planning on a "get together" supper next week, and it is hoped that we will have Mr.
Sullivan of the Rochester office down here with us. Mr. Sullivan has charge of this district, and has been here once before this year.
Friday morning at chapel, "Butch"
Swanson explained to the student body the full meaning of the O. M. A.
His definition of the Society was unique, and no one but our friend
"Butch" could have handled it so well, and still impress upon the under class- men the full meaning of the initials.
"Butch" also told of some of the rules that were recently adopted, and explained that they not only ap- plied to Frosh, but to anyone caught violating them. There was a short discussion by some of the students and remarks by Director Champlin.
We wish to congratulate the O. M.
A. for the efficient way they are main- taining the good conduct and morals of the students in Ag School.
SOPH-FROSH GAMES Both of the Sophomore basketball teams triumphed in their games against the Frosh, at the Academy last Wednesday night, the scores be- ing 15-12 in the girl's game and 39 to 26 in the men's bout. The '24 teams I played hard to win the laurels, but | they were never in the lead. The i Sophomores, however, had to exert all their strength and skill to keep ahead to the final whistle. Themen's quint representing '23 was formed from the Varsity squad, and showed better team work as the result of longer practice.
The Soph men's team has won two of the three games played, thus earn- ng the underclass championship. The girls of the Soph and Frosh classes have one game each, so far. The deciding game in that series will be played soon.
These underclass contests should not be confused with the League games, from which the college Frosh emerged victorious.
versation naturally drifted to the days a regular banquet will be held at Al- when the boys were in France. Some fred, and that there will be a larger rather interesting experiences came number of Federal Board students to to light. Next year it is hoped that grace the festive board.

There is no question but that the union will bear up as strongly as Mr.
Blatergrau's nickname.
Thursday morning Prof. Cone took charge of the chapel exercises and the surprise he gave us was in the form of an illustrated lecture by Prof. Ben- nehoff. The subject was a trip through Yellowstone Park, and the way he presented it was out of the ordinary. Instead of showing us the things as they came along, Prof.
Bennehoff took up the formation of geysers from their origin up to the largest specimens in existence. It was the best lecture that we have heard in assembly this term and was greatly enjoyed by both student body and the faculty.
KLAN ALPINE BANQUET AND BALL
Continued from page one
ed to know this same thing but no information was forthcoming. Then the dance began. A calm, mellow light flooded the hall from the care- fully screened jets and added a cer- tain dignity to the dress suits and evening gowns which harmonized well with the decorations.
From the first notes of "Oh Boy"
to the softer strains of "Au Revoir"
the dance was a success. From the rollicking time of "Springtime" to the slow dreamy air of "Wyoming" Lake's Orchestra glided with the ease and grace which only real musicians can acquire.
Toward the- close of the sixteenth dance, the orchestra played "I'm For- ever Blowing Bubbles" and the bottom of the basket dropped out. The ball room was changed into a veritable fairyland. Gaily colored balloons drifted gently out of the basket and down among the dancers. The prob- lem of the basket had been solved.
Too soon for all, the time-honored melody of "Home Sweet Home" drift- ed out over the hall and the Ball was ended. Silently and quietly the couples left the binding. Once more the old town clock reigned supreme.
It had ticked into eternity the closing moments of a long-to-be-remembered banquet and ball.

"Students Lunch Room." Out of the twenty or more Federal Board men in attendance here, seventeen were present, not including two visitors from Rochester, Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Wil- liams.
After a rather sumptuous repast the little party retired to a suite of rooms in the Rosebush block where business was discussed relative to the Federal Board interests here. Mr.

This week's edition of the Fiat Lux marks a change in the editorial staff.
Due to his Ceramic work, and the many class activities in which he has been a participant, Editor Peck has deemed it fitting to transfer the edi- torial management of the paper to other hands. At a meeting of the Fiat board last Tuesday afternoon, he ten- dered his resignation to the members of the staff, and requested that a new editor be elected to office without unnecesary delay.
Mr. Peck has been a hard worker throughout the year, and has identi- fied himself strongly in more branches of university activity than most stu- dents are aware. During the past football season, he won his Varsity letter as a guard on the purple eleven, and throughout the entire period of training, he was one of the few men on the squad who never missed a prac- tice. It was really a big undertaking to keep the Fiat running smoothly, to maintain a creditable average in col- legiate work, and to be an integral part of a football eleven. Peck did all of these things and he did them well. At the conclusion of the grid- iron season, he issued one of the best copies of t h e Fiat that has come in- to existence since the inauguration of the weekly. Despite the fact that he sacrificed a week of his time to be at Meadville with an injured team mate, he carried on his Fiat work as ever.
During the winter term the Kan- akadea campaign, the Junior theatri- cals, and many other things have in- terfered with his Fiat work, while collegiate tasks have spelled long
hours in the ceramic laboratories.
After careful consideration, and in justice to the Fiat and to himself, Mr.
Peck arrived at the conclusion that his present duties should be some- what lessened.
While he will not longer assume responsibility for the publication of the Fiat, Mr. Peck will remain on the staff as an associate editor, and will be able to contribute to these columns as often as his time permits. His ex- perience enables him to give many helpful hints to the new editor, and he has promised to assist, in any way possible, the promotion of a bigger and better literary representation of Alfred University.
No college publication can be a perfect specimen of newspaper craft.
Certain typographical and grammati- cal errors must be expected and tol- erated. It is hoped, however, that the Fiat, under the new regime, will prove as capable and as readable an organ as it has been in times past.
Saturday night is to be a "record eve" in campus activities. The basket- ball game with Ursinus, the Wee Playhouse inaugural, and the Athletic Association movies, are events slated for that occasion. The game will begin promptly at six-thirty, and just an hour later the "little theatre"
will display its wares. The movies at Firemens Hall are also called for eight-thirty. Down at Almond mem- bers of the Junior class will present a series of plays for Kanakadea bene- fit on this same evening. Yes, Al- fred is going to spend a rather tumult- ous Saturday night.
The Eta Phi,Gamma fraternity will hold its annual banquet at the Ho- tel Sherwood, Hornell, on Thursday evening of this week. A large num- ber of alumni are expected to be pres- ent for the occasion.
The Alfred Cafe, changing hands for the sixth time in four years, now introduces Mr. Andrew Dromazos of Hornell as proprietor. Mr. Drom- azos has had much experience in the restaurant and candy business, and has already set out to make improve- ments in the "Student's Candy Shop and Lunch Room" which the Alfred Cafe will be called under t h e new regime. One of the added features of the new organization will be the installation of an electric piano or a victrola. This will, no doubt, be enthusiastically welcomed by the stu- dents.
Mx. Dromazos is connected with three other restaurants and candy kitchens, two being in Hornell and a third in Dansville. He has been most successful in previous business ventures, and his ready smile and courteous bearing should make many friends for him here. The business will be conducted along the same lines
as beljore, except there will be a greater amount of fresh candies avail- able to Alfred consumers.
While the faces of Mr. and Mrs.
Wilson, the former proprietors, will be missed in the community, a hearty welcome is extended to Mr. Dromazos, and there is no question but that he will find large interests in the prob- lems of a college community.
Eleazer Barth '24, will act as trainer for the Varsity football and track men during the coming spring. Barth is pursuing a premedical course in college, and, having had previous ex- perience in training work, has vol- unteered his services without ex- pense. It is likely that rubbing tables will be placed in the field house, and at Academy Hall immedi- ately after the Easter recess. Bruised and battered football men will be for- tunate to come under the jurisdiction of Barth, as a competent trainer has long been needed here, and in days past men have been their own physi- cians for the most part.
Barth has shown excellent spirit in making this proposal, and his attitude is highly endorsed by Coach Wes- becher.

VARSITY LOSES AT ROCHESTER
On the Bausch and Lomb court at Rochester last Saturday evening the Varsity basketball quint lost out to the fast team of the Rochester Col- lege of Optometry by a score of 32-12.
The game was hard fought through- out, but Rochester took a lead in the opening half that Alfred could not hope to overcome.
The purple five seemed somewhat dazed during the first few minutes of play, and Rochester caged several baskets from the floor before Alfred tallied a lone point from the foul line. The Rochester machinery was running smoothly, and by dint of ex- cellent team play and accurate shoot- ing, they kept steadily piling up the score. Alfred men presented a rather disorganized defense during the greater part of the opening period, and as a result the blue and white had many openings. The score at the end of the half was 22-4 in favor of the Rochester team.
Alfred began the final half with a determination to even things up as nearly as possible. For a few min- utes it seemed that the purple would come from behind and outstrip their rivals, as three baskets were scored from the field before the Optometry men were aware of what had hap- pened. But the temporary flash of form did not last, and Rochester scor- ed ten times to eight by Alfred be- fore the period was over.
For Rochester, Tombart, Robb, and Engel were the bright lights, while Hinchcliff, Witter, and Campbell were the best bets of the purple.

B. C. D. JR., IS DELEGATE
At the Delta Sigma Phi convention of the New England, New York and Pennsylvania districts, held recently at Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster, Pa., B. C. Davis, Jr., '21, represented Alpha Zeta. He reports a pleasant and profitable time.
Should there be any students who feel that their presence on the Fiat staff would add to the content of the publication, or who desire the ex- perience of such work , the editor would be glad to confer with them.
The Fiat is not necessarily a one or two or three person combination. It | represents a field in which quite a number of students may and should participate. Anyone who is genuine- ly interested will be given an appor- tunity, but those who wish to become members of the staff merely for the sake of having their names appear in print had best retain their present status.

SOPHS SING IN ASSEMBLY
Professor Binns, because of a severe cold, was unable to address the as- sembly last week. As a consequence the Sophs were given an opportunity to display their ability in amusing those present. They proved to be royal entertainers and everybody en- joyed the program as indicated by the fact that an encore followed practical- ly every selection. It was a remark- able "jazz band" to be gotten to- gether in such a short time and the Sophomore class should be highly complimented on its musical talent.
Volk was in a most musical mood of mind and Lake to all appearances was feeling just as "jazzy" as on the night when he furnished the cabaret music for the Sophomore-Senior party. A program of this nature, occasionally, is not only very entertaining but it also shows the faculty that we as students are able to put out a grade of amusement which need do no dis- credit to any of us.
ALFRED GRADUATE CHOSEN At a meeting of the executive com- mittee of the Steuben county farm bureau held at Bath on Saturday afternoon, George Brainard of Bing- hamton was appointed as assistant farm bureau manager and will assume the office March 1st. Mr. Brainard succeeds Harold Doane who recently resigned to become manager of the Seneca county bureau. Mr. Brainard graduated from Alfred Ag School in 1915, from Syracuse University in 1920, and served two years in France with the American forces.

MISS WEISEL, Y. W. C. A. SECRE- TARY, AGAIN VISITS ALFRED
From Thursday evening until Mon- day morning Miss Mary Weisel, sec- retary of the northeast district of the Y. W. C. A., was a welcome visi- tor to Alfred. During this annual visit she spent most of her time in conferences with the cabinets, com- mittees and individual girls. The Y.
W. cabinets of college and Ag School met with Miss Weisel Saturday after- noon and heard from her of the four Y. W. C. A. summer camps. College girls are workers and counselors in these camps, which are called Alta- mont (near Albany); Maqua, in Maine;
Shadow Brook, in Connecticut; and Martha's Vineyard, on that island.
Miss Weisel also made a strong appeal for a large Alfred delegation to the college Y. W. C. A. conference, which will be held at Silver Bay on Lake George, June 14 to 24th.
At a short meeting of the joint cabinets on Sunday afternoon, Miss Weisel presented the pitiable case of the European students. The cabinets voted to abandon the Robert College scholarship for this year and, instead, to make a drive for the destitute edu- cational class throughout Europe.
The Christian Associations held a joint meeting Sunday night at Ken- yon Hall, when Miss Weisel gave an interesting and inspiring address. She reviewed the work of the Y. W. and told of several leaders' conferences, held during the winter. The student Christian Associations of America, as members of the World's Christian Stu- dent Federation, are united in the drive for European relief. Most of
Miss Weisel's talk dealt with this great Association activity.
The week-end spent at Alfred Uni- versity, as the guest of the Y. W's, completes Miss Weisel's tour of the New York colleges. She will soon start from New York City on a similar trip through New England. The best wishes of Alfred's girls follow their field secretary in her wonderful work of service.
