English Profs Give Reading;
Opinions Show "Plastic Power"
The poetry of Thomas Stearns Eliot was introduced last Wednes- day to a large and interested group of students and faculty.
The program, arranged in conjunction with the Arts Festival, was opened by Dr. Finch, chairman of the English department, who described the meaning of the theme "The Plastic Power." This idea
was purported by the English poet, William Wordsworth, who believed that all sensations received by the mind are worked over by the indi- vidual in his own unique manner. The world is, therefore, understood by each person in a different way. When this conception is related to poetry,
and Professor Buckley, members of the English department was played next.
A discussion of the poem by Dr.
Ruoff and Professor Buckley follow- ed. The discussion included an analy- sis of the imagery and structure as it related to the meaning of the work.
Some parts were analized line by line It can be seen that everyone who j n a n'e n d e a T O r t o s h o w h o w each Teads a poem may get something dif-
ferent out of it.
Miss Tupper then delivered an intro- duction to the poet. She briefly de- scribed his life, relating to the inci- dents which shaped his manner of thinking. Eliot arose in the 1920's as the leader of a group of "disillusioned intellectuals" who had looked to
image was related to the main point of the poem. Both concluded that Pru- frock was engaged in a contempla- tion of the sex act with some woman and was lost in indecision. It was in the reason for this indecision that the two differed. Dr. Ruoff, felt that Pru- frock was too timid and introverted to face the realities of life. His inde- communism and the success of the I cjsio n w a s brought about by a self- First World War as a means to the I consciousness, which caused him to eiyl of human suffering. After the j procrastinate for fear of what the failure of the war and the communist ! consequences of the deed would bring party to achieve these ends, the group u p o n him. Professor Buckley, however, became extremely disillusioned and s a w m o re quality in Prufrock's char- this state of mind was indicated in , a c t er . He believed that the man hes- Eliot's poetry. An example of this
was the poem to be read and dis- cussed during the program, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." Miss Tupper then described how the poet revolted from the pessimism that had taken hold of him and retreated (or possibly escaped) into the Anglo-Sax- on Church. This new religious attitude was exemplified in his later poetic plays like "Murder in the Cathedral."
A recording of a dramatic reading of "The Love Song of P. Alfred Pru- frock." by Miss Tupper, Dr. Ruoff,
itated for fear of what the conse- quences of the deed would bring upon others. Prufrock possessed an under- standing of the world and had a great deal of sympathy and feeling for hu- manity. In his procrastination, Pro- fessor Buckley felt, he did not indi- cate a selfish fear but rather one that was more philanthropic.
The lively question and answer per- iod which followed, plus the size of the group attending, were a clear indication of the success and effec- tiveness of such a program.
Rome Revived At Latin Festival
ROTC Review Passes Thursday
As part of its observance of Armed Forces Day, the ROTC will present its third annual Spring Review Thurs- day at 11:00 on Merrill Field.
Armed Forces Day is intended to symbolize unification, demonstrate the close working relationship of the army, navy, air force, marine corps, coast guard and reserve components, and give the public an annual report on the state of the nation's defensive forces. Prior to 1950, Army Day was celebrated April 6, Navy Day October 27, Air Force Day September 18, and the Marine Corps Anniversary No- vember 10. In April 1949, the Secre- tary of Defense announced that with the president's approval the four sep- arate events would be consolidated into a single annual observance of Armed (Forces Day.. This year the theme for this day will once again be
"Power for Peace."
Not only will the review mark the observance of Armed Forces Day but it will signify the conclusion of the corps annual military inspection. Each .ROTC unit in every army area is in- spected at least once a year and a fitness report filed with army head- quarters. In its two previous inspec- tions, Alfred has obtained superior ratings. This year the inspecting party will consist of Lt. Colonel B.
Santora, Lt. Colonel R. E. Burt and Captain P. E. Bouchard. Colonel San- tora will review the cadets. Included in the reviewing party with Colonel Santora will be President Drake, mayors Jacox, Hogan and Ludden of Alfred, Hornell and Wellsville, re- spectively, and the battalion and four company sponsors: Sheila Shanly, Barbara Lomery, Sue Schmedes, Rose- mary Bracker and Jean McMasters.
Special guests of the corps will be the students of Alfred-Almond Cen- tral School. Of particular interest will be a complete infantry arms display.
This display, on the far end of Merrill Field, will consist of many of the in- fantry's weapons of war from rifle to howitzer.
The military department wishes to f-xtend to the faculty and student body ami their friends a cordial invitation, to attend the review.
Leadership Conference Given;
O'Connor Presents Key Address
College Group Elects Drake
The University and Dr. M. Ellis Drake have received a very important honor this week. Dr. Drake was elect- ed vice-chairman of the Empire State Foundation of Independent Liberal Arts Colleges.
The meeting was held in New York at the Waldorf-Astoria and twenty- two colleges in the state were repre- sented.
The object of the foundation is to enlist the support of business, indus- try, foundations and the general pub- lic in taking a greater interest in aiding highter education in the lib- eral arts colleges.
President Drake's election to the office of vice-chairman adds to Al- fred's prestige and shows our school's leadership among the state's colleges.
The president of the foundation is Mrs. Millicent Mclntosh, president of Ba»nard. The executive board con- sists of Arthur A. Houghton Jr., pres- ident of Steuben Glass, Carlyle Black, former head of American Can Com- pany, Mrs. Arthur Hays Sulzberger, and Dr. Everett Case, president of Colgate University. Most Alfred stu- dents remember Mr. Houghton, who was our guest speaker at Founders' Day assembly and received an hon- orary degree.
Shades of Caesar's Ghost! And that's what it looked like Thurs- day night when twenty-eight toga-clad members of the Latin Club held their annual Roman Banquet at Howell Hall, reviving momentar- ily the "Eternal City" in all its by-gone splendor. ]
Five foot scrolls listed the activities for the evening and opened
the banquet royally with the encour- aging words: "Edite! Bibite! Festivi Este!" — "Eat, drink and be merry!"
Merle Arnold gave the invocation and Barbara Scott performed the tradition- al salt ceremony to the household gods.
Newly-initiated members to the club, Gretta Hanson, John Scroxton and Howard Jarolomen, were the slaves for the evening and served authentic Roman food: baked ham, fresh green string beans and carrots, Roman bread, acetaria salad, and mulsum, a nectar fit for the gods.
A three-act play, "The Heroic Trag- edy of Dido," entertained the pseudo- Romans between courses of the "am- June Smith played the lead Dido; Howard Jarolomen, brosia."

Dr. Rodriguez-Diaz has attended the conference in past years and has been honored by being requested to act as presiding officer at this year's seventh session.
Bunnell Predicts '55 Enrollment
Director of Admissions Bunnell pre- dicts that the University enrollment will not be greatly increased this com- ing year although the number of freshmen already accepted is 30 per cent more than last year at tms time.
The reason for this is two-fold. The number of $25 entrance fees collected so far is relatively the same as last year. Secondly, most of the applicants were born in 1937 and that year show- ed no significant rise in the birth rate freshmen already accepted is 30 per over previous years.
These figures compare with other regional colleges such as Hobare Rochester, Buffalo and Keuka who at- tribute the rise in acceptances to the fact that prospective college students are making more multiple applica- tions. Mr. Bunnell.met with officials of these schools at the Genesee Coun- ty Advanced Education Night held last Tuesday at the high school in Cor- few.
There is a growing tendency for the high school guidance counselors in one area to form an organization which meets to discuss that area's problems. The culmination of such meetings is usually a "college night"
in one of the schools. The counselors invite representatives from the col- leges in which their students are most interested.
Eight counselors from Livingston County held their monthly meeting at Alfred May 9 in Howell Hall. The academic and personnel deans of the University were present to explain their individual programs. A dinner was followed by a general informal discussion. The counselors also toured the campus and visited South Hall and the new dormitories.
Mr. Bunnell has been sending per- sonal letters to all the accepted stu- dents and he has been getting excel- lent response. In these letters he has informed them of recent happenings on the campus and also has welcomed them to visit the campus to observe it first hand.
Many Alfred students first heard of the University at their summer camps.
Students who plan to work as coun- selors at camps this summer will pro- vide excellent contacts for the admis- sions office.
Elections
Alpha Lambda Delta, the wo- men's honorary scholastic soror- ity on campus, held its annual elections. The officers for next year are as follows: Sonya Rudy, president; Avonne Montagne, vice president; Marion Sutton, secre- tary; Joyce Jividen, treasurer;
Barbara Long, historian.
AU Research
On Video
The University presented its fourth television program Monday, May 16 over WRGB-TV from Schenectady.
The program, directed by Dean Gertz, dealt with research here and Profes- sors Langer, Dickens, Lawrence and Smith appeared in it. The student body was represented by Joan Tre- passo, Peter Wagner and Paul Good- rich.
The program began with a round table discussion, during which Dean Gertz, Professor Lawrence and Pro- fessor Langer discussed Alfred's part in research. The next part of the pro- gram was devoted to the area studies that are going on in the sociology, economics and business departments.
The area studies are made by stu- dents canvassing this part of the state and compiling the results. Re- search in this field was discussed by Proffessor Langer, Professor C. D.
Smith III, Joan Trepasso and Pete Wagner.
Using diagrams and models, Pro- fessor Dickens and Paul Goodrich elab- orated on the field 6f ceramic research.
This program has far-reaching effects and the research has even been ex- ploring rockets. The half-hour pro- gram was a wonderful way of show- ing the practical and well-needed job Alfred is doing to help people today and in the future. This is the third television show of this kind that has been given over WRGB-TV. One has been presented over WHAM-TV from Rochester. Our show "Alfred University Presents," has been suc- cessful so far and it is hoped that it will continue with many other ap- pearances.
by Howard Mendes
"Techniques of Leadership" was the topic of the keynote address given by William J. O'Connor, industrial relations manager of the Elmira division of Westinghouse. The address was delivered at the University's second annual Leadership Conference held Sunday at Alfred-Almond Central School.
Mr. O'Connor is an alumnus of Alfred and was director of admissions until he assumed his present posi- tion with Westinghouse. In his speech he related the theory of leadership to the more practical considerations of how leadership may be realized.
"Leaders are made not born" is the philosophy of Mr. O'Connor. There are not enough natural leaders born into the world and the gap may be filled partly by college graduates who are familiar with the basic techniques of leadership. Those students who be- come aware of the principles of lead- ership will find unlimited opportuni- ties awaiting them.
Mr. O'Connor believes that objec- tivity is an essential in the develop- ment of a leader. A leader must have a healthy mental outlook towards matters of thought. He should con- tinually go out of his way to help people with their difficulties. Making contacts with, and getting to know people is another essential of leader- ship.
It is important to broaden your in- terests in life and to alert yourself and become aware of the other fel- low's point of view. The leader should let people know where he stands and [ why. He should make use of his authority and know when to exert it most effectively.
Accepted
According to an announcement made by the office of the Dean of the Liberal Arts College, Jerome Davis, a pre-medical senior, has been accepted at the University of Brussels Medical School for next year.
Cohen And Cushing Get Ceramic Awards
It has been announced by the jury of selection and award of the ' 1955 Rochester-Finger Lakes exhibition that seven Alfred ceramic students have had their entries accepted.
Among these, Herbert Cohen was awarded a first prize and Val Cush- ing an honorable mention. Herb's winning work was a decorated white stoneware vase, the only piece he entered.
Val entered four works; a pitcher and mug set, a coil built tall vase, a large fruit bowl and serving platter.
All works entered had to be original and no entry was accepted that was done under instruction or upon which any instructor had in any way worked.
Also, only original work which had never before been exhibited at the Memorial Art Gallery where the show takes place, was accepted.
The other students whose works were accepted are, Frank La Greca, Lou Krevalin, Barbara Mesibov, Jules Jacolow, and Karl Miller.
The speaker then went on to say that the true leader should be a flex- ible individual. The ordinary person is content to do his work expending only the minimum of effort. The leader not only does his job well, but he enlarges his ability and learns more than what is entailed in his immediate position. The person who has an in- sight into his future while he is still a student at college, is t h e person who is learning the basic techniques of leadership.
Al Potter, president of the Student Senate, welcomed the officers of var- ious campus organizations t6 the con- ference by explaining the three-fold purpose of the meeting. First, the conference was sponsored "to make the members of the campus co'mmun- ity aware of the importance of lead- ership and leadership techniques."
Second, it was intended that the meeting "offer training in certain leadership techniques for use in cam- pus activities as well as in home communities." Finally, it was the ob- ject of the conference "to seek ways to make better campus group leaders.'' Among the campus organizations re- presented at the conference were the Intersorority Council, the Women's Student Government, the Student Senate, the Interfraternity Council, all the fraternities and sororities and various clubs and publications. Mem- bers of the faculty and the administra- tion who attended were Pres. Drake, Dean Beeman, Dean Gertz, Dean Mc- Mahon, Prof. Bella and Prof. Sutton.
A panel discussion was held to formulate the plans of students, fac- ulty and administration for the fu- ture. Among the problems discussed were, "where leadership needs ex- ist; coordination of leadership; and the need to work as a community."
The panel speakers elaborated on the possibility of a more successful cam- pus community chest and "Help Week" instead of "Hell Week." A question and answer period followed.
The Rev. Hurley Warren officiated at the religious service which p r # ceded a picnic lunch. After the lunch the conference broke up into individual group meeting of organization presi- dents, vice-president and treasurers, each group meeting in a different classroom of the school. A closing summary of the proceedings at these meetings concluded the program of the conference.
Bredenberg To Direct Camp
Chaplain Bredenberg will be direc- tor of an educational work camp, sponsored by the youth department of he World Council of Churches, at Gan- ado, Arizona.
This summer, a reservoir will be built to increase the water supply in the semi-arid land and the campers will lend their efforts to the project.
The Presbyterian mission has been serving the Navaho Indians for the past fifty years. This project will provide an opportunity for the youths to make friends with the Indians while they are performing such a useful service.
Mrs. Bredenberg, camp mother, and Chaplain Bredenberg will assume their duties July 1 and remain until Au- gust 15.
In keeping with his busy schedule, the chaplain will speak to the youth group of Westminster Church, Buffa- lo, Sunday, May 22. His speech, "Re- ligion with Oomph," will be directed to the youths as well as their parents.
Under the auspices of the Danforth Foundation, the Bredenbergs will at- tend a training camp at Camp Mina- wanca, Lake Michigan from August 29 to September 4.
Freshman Relay TeamTops Field
Coach James McLane's traek team ran wild at the Middle Atlantic track meet at Easton, Pennsylvania.
Three Warriors were entered in var- sity competition. They all placed. Lead- ing the way was Dave Mahoney who won the pole vault at 12' 6 1|2". Dave tried to break the meet record of 13' 1" which was set by Alfred's Clark in 1934. The record is 12' 10 7|8" which is the Middle Atlantic record and also is the Alfred record. Hie just did miss cleaning it.
Alfred's other two varsity competi- tors were Frank Gilbert, who placed second in the two mile with a 10:04 clocking and Dan Button who tied for fifth in the high jump at 5' 10".
Dave Wilcox ran in the freshman mile run and ran a 4:35.3 race to takje second place. This was Dave's beet time for the year.
The big news was made in the Fresh- man Medley Relay. Running against the great St. Joseph's Iteam Alfred went into the event as underdogs An openimg 440 in 517 saw Alfred and St.
Joe's neck and neck with AU second.
Bill Clark's 22.1 clocking in the 220 and Stu Kapners 24.00—220 saw the Saxons ten yards behind St. Josephs with an 880 leg remaining.
Doug Smith then did the batoa lugging for Coach McLane and run he did. His 1:55.2 clocking not only gave the Purple and Gold a ten yard upset victory but it broke all records. His time beats any previous Alfred 880.
TWe team time of 3:30.0 sets a new school record and it is a new Middle Atlantic Track and Field record. St.
Joseph's was second. LaSalle took third, followed by Lafayette and Le- high.
The three men who competed in the varsity events scored 9 1|2 points to put the Saxons in 9th place of 18 com- peting schools. The entire team may be sefen in action against Syracuse on Saturday.
Graduate School

Editorials Reappraisal
We woke up the other day to the realization that the end of the year is just around the corner. In fact, one week and a few incidentals called finals are all that are left. It also occurred to us that we only
#
have one more FIAT to put to press. That leads to the opening of the dusty FIAT files to find out what was accomplished, who was here and in general one of those "agonizing reappraisals" that were so popular a few months ago.
We found Avhat we think to be a trend in the last year, namely, an increasing number of various well-known men who have been brought to the campus. In the field of political science we heard Dr.
Clinton Rossiter, Dr. Vernon Aspaturian and, of course, the venerable Norman Thomas. From the literary circles the forum committee gave us John Dos Passos. The Reverend James H. Robinson and Professor William Hamilton focused attention on religion. The Doctors Boek discussed sociology and there were many others who presented their interpretations of the world around. These talks, we think, present a wonderful opportunity to everyone on campus — sut'dents, faculty and administration. Sometimes we lose sight of the fact that exis- tence at Alfred is an idealistic one and that unless we push ourselves we will forget that there is a world around us — a very turbulent, exciting and amazing one at that. For the last FEW YEARS poli- cies were being formed that will affect every one of us. This policy- making has not been discontinued, although to talk to a few people around here you might think so. We were glad to be given the op- portunity to listen to these people present their points of view. We look forward to a continuation of this policy next year, and we hope to see an ever increasing number of speakers.
Getting back to those "files" we looked for signs of progress here.
We found some, mostly material, but nonetheless progress. Physic- ally the campus has expanded with many more plans in immediate sight. Two new men's dorms were completed, Howell Hall was ex- panded, a new women's dorm is ready for ground-breaking and most gratifying, plans for a new and expanded library were initiated.
Other signs of progress that we found were the long awaited revision in library hours, the joining of NSA by the Student Senate, the successful planning and execution of the Moving-Up Day program and the change in color scheme in the Union.
We look over the past year and find it good and bad. It was what we expected. So long as man and his nature are expressed there can never be any other way. That's what makes it all so interesting.
A scene from "The High School," the third story of "The World of Sholom Aleichem," presented last Friday and Saturday night In the Men's Gym.
by Bob Littell
The little world of the writer Sholom Aleichem lived for two nights on a raised platform that serves as Alfred's theatre-in-the- round; when its life had run its course, it left audiences with a broad smiles on their faces and a funny feeling in their hearts. The Footlight Club's production of "The World of Sholom Aleichem" was,
certainly, one of the finest presenta- tions we have ever seen at Alfred. Es- pecially when compared to other thea-
seller, reminds one of a similar tech- nique used in "Our Town;" the use of tre-in-the-round attempts here, it shows the ^atre-m-tbe-round lends itself a tremendous increase in the under- j to this approach of informality be- standing of the medium and its poten- tw een audience an* actor and rovedaudience and' actor, and proved
very successful in this production . The -lighting and costumes through- out the performance contributed to the

One of the most important qualities that constitutes a successful theatre- in-the-round performance is honesty—
in costumes, makeup, staging and act- ing. When an audience is only a few

Despite this oc- casional »ut-of-character expression (which served to immediately break the actors and the audiences which had been created and remind the audiences that they were watching a play), the overall honesty of interpretation car- ried to the audience and created' dur- ing a good deal of the play the kind of rapour between actor and audiyence that the theatre-in-the-round aims ffcr. w a g

The quality of acting throughout the three short plays, was very hilgh. "The World of Sholom Aleichem" is the kind of play which boasts no stars, but achieves its successful effect by the sum total of many actors each of whom did a good job. Special compliments are due to Lewis Kr^volin; Ronald Shapiro and especially Leon Alilion (whose part was as important as it charming perfor- was a piece of art. Especially in the

Tests Indicative Of Work, Reporter Finds In Study
by Morty Floch
As partial fulfillment of the requirements of a course in differen- tial psychology — the study of individual, differences — this report- er recently performed a study on the class which entered the Liberal Arts College in September, 1948.
The aim of the study was three-fold: a) to give a general sta- tistical analysis of the relationships

The Student Senate is the very core of the student body. It is the organization composed of the representatives you elect and acts excellent job done :by the supporting j for you and as^a part of you. It is as powerful or as weak as you make

Outlook
by Marv Bell
A "Handbook on International Study" was recently published by the Institute of International Education, 1 East 67th Street, New York 21. The 300-page book which sells for $3.00 is a compact guide for foreign stu- dents on study in the United States and for US citizens on study abroad.
Dean Gertz requests that any stu- dents interested in attending sum- mer school contact him soon, if they have not already done so.
A reminder: It is necessary for all male students who plan to continue their education next year, no matter where, to send in selective • service form 109. It is Also necessary for the student to send a separate letter re- questing deferment. Dean Gertz has both these forms.
That about wraps it up for this semester. It's been a pleasure and I
•would like to sincerely thank all those
•who help each week to make this column a reality. Special thanks go to Dean Gertz, who would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you a joyous two weeks of finals.

among several tests and college in- dices, b) to find whether or not ony of the tests could predict which stu- dents would graduate and those who would be placed on probation (and which was the best prerictor), and c) to show the general fact df individual differences.
Used as subjects in the study were 117 of the 119 males and females who entered the University as freshmen.
The several variables confronted were, where possible, the scores obtained by each student on the American Col- lege on Education Examination, the Co- operative English Reading Test (both taken during orientation week, when the students firstNentered school) and the College Entrance Examination Board Test. Also used in the study was the first year index of each stu- dent and, where the student graduated,
his accumulative index was recorded.
Obtained too was the index for each semester a student found himself on probation.
In order to stay off probation, a student must have more than a 0.50 index at the end of each semester of his sophomore year; more than a 0.75 at the end of each semester of his sophomore year; more than a 0.85 and a 100 at the end of each se- mester of his junior year, respective- ly, and more than a 1.00 at the end of each semester of his senior year.
The records used in the study came from the office, and through the as- sistance of Dr. Harold O. Burdick, dean of the College of Liberal Arts;
from the office of the registrar, Clif- ford M. Potter; and from the office of the personnel deans.
Due to the fact that those who grad- uated in the class which entered in 1948 had so recently left campus and
ACE exam (.776), while the graduating index correlated best (.83) with the CEEB (verbal). (The scores given on the CEEB exam were in two sections, verbal and math.) It was found, furth- er, that both the ACE and the Co-op tests are better In their fields as correlates with the first-year indices, while the CEEB — both math and verbal sections — correlated better with the graduating indices. All cor- relations, except those found between the CEEB (math) and the first-year index, graduating index and CEEB (verbal) were found to be significant at the .05 level.
The median was found for eaoh of the three tests of the study. The dis- tinction between those on progation who scored above the median on the exams and those on probation who scored below the median was a clear one. The sum of all students appear- ing on probation lists who obtained scores higher than the median on the tests was 29, while 63 scored below the median and were subsequently placed on probation.
The results were not as clear-cut when one makes reference to the stu- dents who graduated. Sixty-seven of the graduates scored less than the median, while 78 students who grad- uated scored higher than the median.
It seems easier to predict, from these statistics, which students will do poor- ly than those who will succeed. This seems perfectly logical since, sensibly, a certain amount of ability is required for college work, and a person who has less than the necessary minimum is very unlikely to succeed, no mat- ter how hard he tries, although an occasional individual does. If a per- son's ability is satisfactory, however, there are till a multitude of factors
enthusiasm and participation which this representative body does, or does not, exhibit.
This past year at the Senate proved to be a progressive one. The Senate accomplished several worth-while things, and took a couple of steps for- ward in becoming an active and living organization. There are many more steps which can be taken, and in time can be effected. It might prove profi- table to discuss these steps which have been, and can be, taken.
This year the Senate became a member of NSA, the National Student j Association. This action was a wise
one. NSA is an organization whose purpose is to serve the educational j community. This is done through pamphlets and conferences which dis- cuss problems common to all colleges
! and universities. It sponsors tours for students at low cost and provides numerous other benefits. Alfred, by sending representatives to these con- ferences, can become a more alert and efficient center of education.
The hours at the library, which had annoyed many students in past years, were extended this year. After taking a poll at the' library for three weeks, the Senate tallied the results and showed them to the administration, proving the need and the desire of the students for longer hours at the library.
The curtain at the gym, which was in such poor condition, was replaced this year by the Senate. After speaking to Mr. Lebohner and receiving per- mission to purchase the curtain, it was bought. It will be paid for by the University, which in turn will be paid
because it was felt that many of them which can prevent his making good use have friends still going to school, an-
onymity of the class was kept by using numbers in place of the stu- dents' names.
Ten correlations were found among the several variables of the study.
Of these, it was found that the first- year index correlated best with the
of it — competition from other ac- tivities, emotional problems, finan- cial difficulties, poor study habits, ro- mance, etc.
No attempt was made in the study to analyze the statistics found on the students who left school for no ap- parent reason (neither graduated, nor
by the Senate over a period of three and a half years.
As in previous years, the Senate served the organizations and clubs in many ways. They conducted polls, financed trips and other expenses and formed ideas for more enjoyable and varied activities.
The Charity Drive conducted by the Senate was an economic let-down.
This was true, in some respets, of Moving-Up Day. Ways and methods must be devised by which more mon- ey can be collected for charitable or- ganizations. This can be done if more interest is taken by the student body.
In the line of amending some of the policies which are now in practice at the Senate, a more strict interpre- tation should be given to its con- stitution. There is a ruiing that any house not sending a representative or alternate they are allowed by num- ber, shall have its representation re- duced accordingly. The Senate has been lax as to the enforcement of this rule in the past. It should be strictly enforced since any house not caring enough to send a representative should lose this privilege.
The committees which are formed at the Senate should be working bod- ies. The Activities Coordinating Com- mittee, which is supposed to see that all organizations on campus are bal- anced, has not done the job it should have.
The Student Senate is your organ- ization. It should be one with the authority and prestige it deserves, which you deserve. Here's a hope that next year's representatives -will re- present you, and will do a good job
at it.
were placed on probation). It was felt that a number of non-intellectual fac- tors could readily be cited as reasons for a student's leaving school. Among these are educational facilities in different localities, financial resources family traditions and attitudes, better opportunities, change of mind, etc.
Of course, direct relationships were found between first year and graduat- ing indices. Of those students attain- ing less than a 0.00 index for their first year, not a single one graduated. At the same time, of those students at- taining a 2.00 or better during their first year, all who graduated attained at least a 1.90 accumulative index.
This was true of almost the entire range. Almost without exception, those who started with high indices finish- ed with high indices; those who start- ed poorly, finished poorly (over the entire four-year span.) Also, the stu- dents with higher first-year indices were found to have obtained better scores on the tests.
The correlation found between first- year and graduating Indices was a very high one — .855. Many educa- tors have realized that there is a se- vere problem here. A student's initial index — obtained while a young and j relatively inexperienced person, enter-
ing a novel situation — Is a mill-stone about his neck. If very low, It is hard, and often impossible, for the student to raise his index sufficiently.
It is of further interest to note that
[ a higher percentage of girls (60.5) than boys (44.6) graduated, a lower percentage were placed on probation (16.3 to 43.2 respectively), and a slightly higher percentage left school for no apparent reason (30.2 to 27.0).
It appears that several reasons can I be advanced to account for the fact
; that a higher percentage of girls than
! boys left school. Women do not us- ' ually have to make a living for their j families and therefore do not need an extensive college education. Also, there are more and better job oppor- ' (Continued on page 3)

I Stepping into the last spotlight of the year we have Edward
McNamara of Klan Alpine representing the golf team and Jerry Slater and Jay Friedenson sharing the spotlight for the tennis squad.
Eddie comes from New Castle, Pennsylvania where he also contri- buted his talents in golf to the local high school. He may also be re- membered by his classmates for his
•work on the high school senior year book.
Ed is now a junior here and this is his second year of varsity gol£ He has also wrestled and played junior varsity basketball during his Alfred stay. *
Besides being A critic and pranks- ter at Klan he is quite active in all intramural activities receiving an honorable mention for football from the FIAT. He is secretary of Blue Key, publicity chairman of the St.
Pat's board and secretary of the Am- ican Ceramic Society.
Soccer, swimming and tennis en- thusiast, Jerry Slater, hails from For- est Hills and is now in his third year here. So far this year Jerry has won four matches for the netmen, as of the Rochester contest.
He is currently playing intramural Softball and has played volleyball and basketball with the independent teams on campus. He was selected as All- American on the American Univer- sity intramural football team during his semester at that school. Jerry finished second In scoring in B league basketball this year.
He is president of the Political Sci- ence Club and is also president elect of Pi Gamma Mu, the social science fraternity. At this year's model UN, Jerry was chosen to represent AU as one of the delegates from India. Among
his contributions to Li'l Alf is an oc- casional column for the FIAT, where he is an ex-member of the sports staff.
Last, but not least, we have an- other junior, Jay Friedenson, a ten- nis player whom we can count on to come through when the going gets rough. Jay come from Yonkers where he went to Roosevelt High. He swam and played tennis for the school and won letters for the two sports. He was also active in the Spanish club, the science club, and played with the school band. Jay was captain of the

A talk entitled "Procedure and Process of Single Crystal Growth"
was presented by Leon Merker last Thursday night in Binns-Merrill Hall.
Mr. Merker, who was born in Vi- enna, received his degree at Vienna University, and got his master's at the University of Michigan. In 1940, he worked on growth of single crystals for wartime use. After this, he work- ed in Germany on a government study of the synthetic gem industry.- When he returned to the United States, he was employed with the Titanium Di- vision of the National Lead Company in South Amboy.

Incongruous as it may seem, how- ever, on the other extreme, a higher percentage of females graduated from school, and fewer were placed on pro- bation than their male counterparts.
The explanation for this seems to lie in the fact that of those who want to stay in college, the women seem to take their work more seriously, study harder and prepare more thor- oughly. -Further, especially here, the women have fewer distractions, both on and off the campus. This too, could account for the higher percentage of the males found to receive poorer grades than the females.

[ What young people are doing at General Electric
Young scientist works on new ways
to handle "hot"
radioactive fuel
, Whenever uranium is "burned" in an atomic reactor, certain valuable elements such as plutonium are left behind in the "ash."
These products are highly radioactive, but they must be recovered because of their great value to the atomic energy program.
This is the job of 31-year-old H. Ward Alter, Supervisor of the Separations Chem- istry Unit at the AEC's Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory, which General Electric operates in Schenectady, N. Y.
Alter's Work Is Vital, Important
Alter is doing his job well. He has already received the Coffin Award, General Electric's highest honor, for developing an apparatus that makes possible faster, safer, and more efficient recovery of the valuable elements in the "ash."
The work done by Alter and his group helps lower costs, increase efficiency and ex- pand our knowledge of the chemical process- ing of spent radioactive fuels.
25,000 College Graduates at General Electric
When Alter came to General Electric in
1948, he already knew the work he wanted to do. Like each of the 25,000 college-gradu- ate employees, he was given Jiis chance to grow and realize his full potential. For Gen- eral Electric has long believed this: When fresh young minds are given freedom to make progress, everybody benefits —the individual, the company, and the country.
H. WARD ALTER joined G.E. in 194K at Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory afler receiving a B.A. in 1943 and Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1948 at U. of California. He served with the Man- hattan Project at Oak Ridge, 1944-46.

Stan Ren's three hits and Bob Chel- lin's homer led Kappa Nu to a 14-6 win over Klan Alpine Wednesday.
Thursday night Delta Sig stopped Kappa Psi 11-10 behind Jim Brown's pitching. Jim Angelo's bases loaded triple led KP. This win puts Lambda Chi, Kappa Psi and Delta Sig in a first place tie, at 2-1.
A triple play, and a home run by Art Younig couldn't save Lambda Chi from a 7-4 defeat by Kappa Nuon Fri- day. Big gun tor KN was Al LaPera who blasted in 4 runs on two singles and sparked afield.
On Saturday morning the Rodies Ramblers continued their mastery of the B League with an 18-8 rout, over the Ormsby's behind Ted Ronick's twirlinisr. Rodies scored in every in- ning. In the second contest of the da^y Delta Sig earned a 14-0 victory over Tau Delt. Jim Brown w(ent all the way pitching a three hitter and post- ing the first whitwashing job of the season.

Net-Men
Coach Jay McWilliams' tennis team stretched its winning streak to two in a row Wednesday afternoon on the home courts.
Topping the University of Roches- ter 5-4 the Saxons played a steady game. Steadiness made the differ- ence. Both team had two mutual opponents, Buffalo and Cortland State.
Both were beaten by UB 8-1, while the U of R had a 7-2 win over Cortland as compared to the Purple and Gold's 5-4 win last week.
Things looKed bad for the Warriors when the Yellowjackets took a com- manding 3-0 margin as Mike Howard defeated Earl Gelman 6-0, 6-1; and Fred Tausch topped Marty Schiff 6-0, 6-0; and Jim Grisson downed Jerry Slater 6-4, 8-6.
Lennie Rapkin got the Saxons on the winnig path with an easy looking 6-1, 6-2 pasting of Charles Ingersoll. In the five slot Jay Friedenson was victor over Si Garnsey 6-1, 4-6, 6-3. After Bob Littell topped Ron Whitney 6t-4, 6-2 the home team had the match tied up at 3-3 with three doubles remaining.
When the numb*r two and three doubles teams took the court AU was down 4-3, as Howard and Tausch had achieved a 6-0, 6-0 win over Gelman and Schiff.
After Jerry Slater and Lennie Rap- kin had taken a 6-2 win oyer Grisson and Ingersoll the Alfred team was down 4-1 in the second set. Some fine team play and great determination turned the tide, as the Purple and Gold went on to take the set 7-5 and even the match at 4-4.
As was the case at Cortland last Saturday the' whole match depended on the Bob Littell - Jay Friedenson contest against Gernsey and Whitney.
The Saxons duo was once again up to par, as they squeaked to a 7-5 first set win. The second set ended the match as AU raced to a 6-1 vic- tory, giving the McWilliams team a 5-4 win and a 2-3 record for the year with Hobart the opposition Saturday.
Saturday Hobart downed the Pur- ple and Gold 6-3 on the home courts.
AU got off to a good start when thje number one and two men, Jerry Slater and Lennie Rapkin took hard fought decisions from Bob Terhune and Jack
Rooney, 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 and 5-7, 6-1, 7-5 re- spectively. Rapkin took his last one after coming from match point at 2-5.
Rich Weinglass downed Jay Fried- enson 6-4, 6-1 while Stu Resnick top- ped Earl Gelman 6-3, 6-4. Bob Littell gave the Saxons their last win of the day as he topped' Sheldon Freeman.
16-1, 6-2. In the final singles Si Porit- zky downed Bill Maccalous 7-5, 6-2.
Weisglass and Rooney tetamed up to down Slater and Rapkin in th,e first J doubles 6-0, 2-6, 6-0. In the final match
Al Kitsch and Freeman stopped Gel- man and Marty Schiff 6-3, 3-6, 6-2.
