From The President...
It is always a very special pleasure for me to extend of*
ficial and personal greetings to students at the begining of a new college year. The faculties and members of the administra- tion staff join me in saying that we are pleased to see you and that we're looking forward with confidence to a year of oppor-
tunity and achievement.
Much has been accomplished during the summer months in the furthur development and improvement of the campus.
The new street on the hillside east of the Campus Center and behind the dormitories for men is particularly noteworthy. The language laboratory and the new tennis courts are also signifi-
cant and important additions to our facilities. These and many other improvements will make it possible for Alfred University to provide more and better housing and greater educational
and recreational opportunities for its students. I am certain that you will use all of these with pleasure and profit.
We expect that the new college year will be marked by faculty emphasis upon curricular change, excellence in teach- ing and insistence upon a higher standard of academic achieve- ment by the students.
Alfred University, as a progressive enterprise, is, alert to the needs of a changing society and is prepared for a future of ever increasing usefulness. M. Ellis Drake
Hours Extended
Library Opens Saturday Mornings On Trial Basis
Liberal Arts College Changes;
Plans Begin With Class of '65
Hercick Memorial Library will toe open from 9 A.M. to noon each j S a t u r d a y beginning September 30. | T h e s e hours are in addition to the j regularly established S a t u r d a y , h o u r s Irom 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
T h e Saturday morning hours will be observed on a trial basis for a few weeks. W h e t h e r or not they will be open permanently added to <tihe regular hours will de- pend on its use during the experi- mental hours.
Even it the need f o r Saturday morning hours every week does not seem apparent, the library will continue tflne examination period hours as before.
T h e library is open regularly on- ly eighty hours per week, which to albove the average for libraries in inistitutions comparable to Al- f r e d . In the 1961 edition of "The Administration of 'the College Li- brary," by G. R. Lyle, the median library hours in seventy-eight lib- eral a r t s colleges of Alfred's size aTe given a s seventy-six and the m o s t common closing hour is 10 p j n . ¡Herrick Library is thus op- e n four hours above the median and remains open an hour later
than most of the libraries sur- veyed.
T h e administration of the uni- versity and the library, however, both feel t h a t extension Of pre- s e n t hours should be made insofar as budget and staffing problems permit. Real need for this exten- sion must be shown during the tri- al period.

will devote themselves almost en- tirely to satisfying the require- ments in general education. At t h e same time provision is made for
students to take at least one full year course in departments in which they may later major.
In this way students obtain t h e varied background desirable f o r
•later specialization and, inciden- tally, complete all general requre- ments before beginning intensified study in their major fields. W t h t h e outgoing program of study, many upperclassmen found t h e i r major studies fragmented by gener- al education requirements not y e t
completed.
Comprehensive Exams
After passing a comprehensive examination, generally given a t t h e end of t h e sophomore year, students enter t h e Upper Division.
T h i s division assumes increased student maturity with its program
oj£ intensified fcptecializteltion a n d independent study. In the U p p e r
¡Division departments, ^numeroud two and three credit courses m a y be incorporated into eight or t e n credit courses t o reinforce t h e continuity of the students' m a j o r studies.
T h e reorganization of t h e Col-- lege of Liberal A r t s permits a n unprecedented degree of academic flexibility f o r students at Alfred.
Extremely gifted students m a y re- quire accelerated study in both di- visions and may complete t h e i r college educations in trwo or t h r e e years. S t u d e n t s w h o p r e f e r m o r e time to select a m a j o r field m a y remain in the (Lower Division f o r more t h a n t w o y e a r s and complete college in five or six years. T h i s quality learning f o r the indivdiual student, according to his personal needs. .Most students, however, will probably continue in t h e con- ventional four-year program.
Promotions
Promotion to the Upper Divis- ion will b e determined by two cri- teria: first, satisfactory comple- tion of general education courses;
second, t h e passing of t h e com- prehensive examination. All stu- dents will b e required to t a k e t h e examination, which is in two sec- tions. The first section is m a d e up of examinations in four areas:
English composition, natural sci- ence, social science, and foreign language. Students will take all four of these examinations.

tics, fine arts, and literature. To be promoted to the Upper Divis- ion, students -must pass in four of the six examinations undertaken.
However, if English is not one of the four fields passed, students may be promoted but will be re- quired to take whatever remedial work is specified by the Depart- ment of English.
New Cut System
A new cut system will accom- pany the reorganization. Sopho- mores, Juniors, and Seniors with a 2.0 index for the previous year will be allowed permissible class attendance. This practice will he withdrawn in individual cases of abuse of the system. For students who have not attained a 2.0 index for the previous year, the custom- ary system prevails.
Dean Gustad and the Curricu- lum Committee a r e presently in- vestigating the merits of an hon- or system. Such a program could take either of two forms: honor courses, taken with the permission of the instructor, would be re- quired to graduate with honors;
or a program of independent stu- dies and seminars, along the lines of present seminar studies.
The result of this reorganization may, in the final analysis, be col- lege education on a more adult and individual .basis.
Airican Students Here Under Scholarship Plan
Two African students, Johnson of an Advisory Board consisting Oyelabi from Ogbomoso, West Ni-
geria, and Lucas Kuria of Fort HSall, Kenyan, have entered Alfred University under the Cooperative African Scholarship Program.
The program, which was iaugua- ated this year at the suggestion of Ithaca College, will involve twenty- two of America's small liberal arts colleges. Participating colleges in- clude seven in New York State:
Alfred, Brooklyn College of Phar- macy, Canisius, Elmtra, Hobart, Ithaca, and LeMoyne.
The students were chosen on the basis of how well they met certain educational qualifications set up by Selection Boards consisting of three American and eight African edu- cators. In the United States the program is under the supervision
of representatives of Hobart Col- lege, Lehigh University, Ohio Wes- leyan, Alleghany College, Drexel In- stitute of Technology and Ithaca College, This group decides on mat- ters of policy, standards of admis- sion and recommends students to colleges taking part in the program.
An officer in ahe British Colon, ial Government in Tanganyika sug- gested the scholarship program for 'small colleges. He obtained the
backing of President Howard Dil- lingham of Ithaca College, and has since traveled to many colleges in the last two years to encourage the scholarship program for Africans.
Late in May, the federal govern- ment announced its support of the Cooperative African Scholarship

They Are Rioting At Alfred U-;
Frosh Class Abounds In Spirit
•Our new F r o s t class attained the peak of spirit on Friday night when a minute revolution erupted during the P e p Bally. The out- break began when the Frosh girls suspended a "Frosh Revolt" ban- ner from a window in the Briok.
The parade through the campus which followed almost turned in- to a minor track meet. The Frosh moved in spruts behind the lead cars driven by upperclassmen (A note to Coach McLane of the Track Team: some good sprint material seemed to shine through the mass.)
The bonfire, held behind the men's gym, had more fuel thaji was expected (that is, by every- one but the rambunctous class of '65). Mid-way through the "cere- mony", an anonymous Frosh (good football material for the in- terests of C o a c h DuBreiull)
"crashed" his way through a line of unsuspecting upperclassmen. A
six foot wooden replica of the
"sacred blue key", which he car- ried like a football, bolstered the already dying fire.
Entertainment was also provid- ed by the verisatile Freshman Class. A talented group of young\
ladies voiced original verses to old tunes deriding the innocent upperclassmen.
The journey back to the Cam- pus Center provided more thrills, especially for those in a Renault Dauphine. Halfway up a hill, it was stopped and given quite a shakeup by the new fearless Frosh
(Rumor has it that a bottle of milk in the back seat of the car was, when finally downed, a creamy, rich milk shafce).
All was in fun, as was proven when another car became stuck on the same hill. The Frosh show- ed their true colors when tlhey grouped together to push out the
»tuck-up upperclassmen.

An Editorial . . .
At long last Alfred University is making progress on its long-range development program. Students returning to Alfred can see that the workmen were busy this summer, busy to the tune of $121,000. A new road, new tennis courts, installation of a language laboratory, and other projects have been completed.
It is evident that the Administration is not just sitting back and waiting for time to overtake us, as so many people seem to think. True, this only represents a very small portion of what has to be done to bring Alfred up to where we would all like to see her, but it is a start.
Present plans call for new men's dormitories, a new infirm ary, increasing the number of faculty members, and eventually, new women's dorms. Other plans, such as renovating the Steiri- heim Museum, must necessarily await available funds. We hope that work can begin almost immediately on the former projects and that funds will become available in the very near future so that the continued improvement of Alfred University can prof ceed at a pace that's representative of the times.
A gripe of the students that is heard every year concerns library hours. Somebody always decides that our library is not available as often as it ought to be. Ideally, the Herrick Library should be open from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. the next morning, seven days a week. Unfortunately, there are budget limitations, and so we have our present hours.
It is gratifying to note that beginning on'Saturday, the library will open its doors for three hours on Saturday mornings in addition to its regular hours. This is being done on a trial basis, and will be continued only if student use of the library facilities during this time warrants such action. It is therefore, entirely up to the students body to determine whether or not the new extension of library hours is to become a permanent situation.
So we lost. We expected to win and we didn't. It's happened before—it will happen again and again. The Saxon Warriors didn't live up to our expectations. There is, however, a full schedule still remaining, and we can end up with an outstand- ing record. Let's be there when they play again. Let's give them the cheering and the moral support they deserve. Remember, there are buses going to Brockport, and we play host to Union right on Merrill Field. See you there . . .
The Class of '65 is a welcome addition to our campus. They are certainly a spirited group, especially when compared with last year's frosh. Their turn-out at the pep rallies and the foot- ball game was more than satisfying, and their "love'' of Blue Key has already been demonstrated.
It is this spirit that so many of the rest of us seem to have lost. Perhaps we can take a hint from our frosh and for a change be called something other than the "apathy campus."
At any rate, we hope that our freshmen can take this energy that is so abounding and apply it to the real reason they are here: to get an education. We sincerely hope that the spirited Class of '65 still has most of its rank and file in June four years hence.

A.U. Develops Ceramic Mold
A new mold to be used in the production of ceramic wares has recently been developed in the Re- search Department of the State Uni- versity of New York, College of Ceramics ¡at Alfred University.
It has been estimated t h a t the new mold, developed by Assistant Professor of Research Leon B. Cof- f i n a n d designed by Instructor An- drea Billeci, will double the life of molds now in use.
T h e product makes use of a new ceramic material abundantly avail- able in New York State. A patent search must be completed before the exact composition is made known.
The new 'mold grew out of the need for a longer-life mold for use

Reflections

Class of '65 - Study in Crisis
It is gratifying to see that the men of '65 arrived at Al- fred to begin their first year of study. Rumor had it that the University was planning to open extension centers in Ha- vana, Berlin,, and Moscow.
The gravity of the international scene points up the re- sponsibility of the American student not only to himself but to his society more tha at any other period in our history.
1961 has been a year of paramount importance in the "stream of history." Most importantly it has been the focal point for clarification of the struggle that has mesmerized East and West. The result that has evolved from all the diplomatic encounters is the point of view that the heart of the struggle usually discussed on militaristic or diplomatic planes is really a quest for the power to control men's minds; a quest to decide in what kind of society, under what form of government our children and our children's children will live.
Regardless of the narrow-mindedness of certain Southern congressional leaders, as well as a particular New York con- gressman, the emphasis on education—be it elementary, sec- ondary or higher education—over the long run will determine
if this struggle is to be continued and successfully completed.
Only if the generations to come are given a sound and realistic ducation can we continue to have an educated electorate. Only through an educated electorate can we produce capable and dynamic leadership.
!The importance of the challenge that now faces the Ameri- can college student has never been more lucid, never more imperative, never more frightening. The Class of '65 is the personification of this challenge—the tangible in which the the- oretical takes form. In four years this class will take its place in society, ready to lead and to serve under tension and in cri- sis. For it will have been under tension and in crisis that they will have received their education.
The Alfred student and specificistlly the Class of '65 are al- so involved in the struggle to maintain our way of life in the face of the Communist challenge, 'for we too are about to take our places in society. Frosh, not only are you here to' "enjoy"
yourselves but you are here to get an education, whatever form and importance you give to this. An education, though, in the academic sense cannot "be given to you—you must search and find it. There is no one now to tell you to read, to study, to question, to reason, and to think.
The basis of education, I believe, in the final analysis, is to be able to think. This might be the most difficult aspect of your adjustment at Alfred. In a sens?, the ability to think ,is the noun while the ability to question and to'reason is the verb. Education is to be found and you alone must find it.
Education is more than reading a required text or taking a final exam which in themselves are at. times self-defeating; it is the quest to understand.
It is true all the classes aren't as small as the catalogue intimated and the library shelves are not filled to capacity, but this does not preclude the possibility for earnest study. The opportunity to safeguard not only your own integrity but that on which your society is based is/the challenge that confronts you as you begin your first year of study at Alfred University.
AU's Namesake, S. S. Alfred, Still Floating After 16 Years
by Alan Mandel
April 11, 1945: S.S. Alfred Vic Vory joins Merchant Marine. Ship christened a f t e r Alfred University, Alfred, New York.
President J. Nelson Norwood, in a speech at the launching, express- ed his gratitude and considered the ships in the Victory class as a tribute to the sacrifices made by higher institutions of learning dur- ing the tragic global conflict.
T h e Alfred Victory was in World W a r I I for three months. The Mari- time Commission built the 10,800 ton vessel for carrying cargo. The main advantage of the Victory class over its forerunner was increased speed.
A f t e r brief service in the war effort the Alfred Victory was oper- ated privately until July 3, 1960 a t which time the vessel was placed
in o u r Reserve Fleet a t Astoria, Oregon.
President J. Nelson Norwood, along with Wm. R. Wells, '12, Wm.
Bragdon, '08, Htelen C r a f t s Harper, '36, a n d Daniel Rhodes, '43, were
present a t the launching. "Alfred University feels highly honored in having ia Victory Ship named for it. It is proud to' have its n a m e connected with the w a r effort in this direct way . . . T h e University appreciates the thought, whoever conceived it, of n a m i n g a series of Victory c r a f t for our institutions of higher learning. The services rendered by our colleges' and uni- versities in this tragic global con- flict have been vast. Possibly t h i s honor has come to them in p a r t In
•recognition of this patriotic con- tribution. Also like m a n y other In- stitutions of various kinds m a n y of our colleges have suffered heavily f r o m the War's effect.
September 26, 1961 S.S. Alfred Victory «till afoat. Now It Is almost 3,000 miles away f r o m its namesake.
What its mission was during t h e w a r is still classified, but even if It was only c a r r y i n g toothbrushes a n d soap it did not s u f f e r the mis- f o r t u n e of being torpedoed by one of our own submarines.

Georgetown Learns To Drink
Realizing that they can not force college students to stop drinking, Georgetown University has announced plans for a student rathskeller near campus.
"Indoctrination in the proper use of alcohol is part of the education of modern young men. There's no use saying the students shouldn't drink. We prefer to provide a place with proper atmosphere where they can go for relaxation," says the Rev. T. Byron Collins, a vice president of the University.
The "1789 Restaurant," named after the year in which the University was founded, will contain a bar, a coffee shop, a din- ing room, and an outside diningterrace.
Richard J. McCooey, an alumnus of Georgetown Univer- sity, has donated most of the money necessary for the project.
Mr. McCooey will operate the restaurant under a lease.
Other universities which own and operate rathskellers are Harvard and Yale.
No More Tattling?
Saratoga Springs, N. Y. (IP) The revision of the Honor System at Skidmore College has resulted in a new interpreta- tion entitled the Honor Contract. This Contract emphasizes per- sonal self-discipline and eliminates the necessity of reporting a girl within forty-eight hours of a violation if she has not re- ported herself.
The Honor Contract and terms of the Contract state the responsibility of each girl to report herself to the Honor Board for any violation of the Contract. Furthermore, she is respon- sible for speaking to a girl who has violated the Contract and.
is encouraged to report a violator "if Community safety is in- volved or if she feels that the Honor Board can give the other
1student help.
All violations of the Honor Contract are listed in the Hand- book under Honor Board. These violations include basic college regulations such as unauthorized absence from college, smoking in areas other than designated, cars on campus without permis- sion, abuse of library facilities, possession or use of alcoholic beverages on campus. Further violations are included und?r academic dishonesty and social responsibilities.
Is Willv Brandt a Communist? t!
by Robert Johnson
Willy Brandt is a Communist. This is probably the only conclusion that can be drawn from the film "Communist En- circlement '61," a film produced at Harding College, Arkansas.
"Encirclement '61" reveals that Karl Marx, originator of the Communist Party, was a life-long Socialist; communism and socialism, therefore, are synonomous. It further states that the British Labor Party, as well as all other West European socialist parties, are mainly Communist fronts. As head of West Germany's Social Democratic Party, Brandt must be a Com- munist.
The above conclusion is naturally absurd—Brandt is not a Communist, nor are West Europe's socialist parties commun- ist fronts. "Encirclement '61," however, is one of the films for- merly shown to American troops to supposedly strengthen them in their efforts to resist Communist propaganda. Because this fairy tale has been removed from circulation, Senator Strom Thurmond (D-South Carolina) is proposing an investigation of the Defense Department. Who, he would know, is responsible for the film's withdrawal? A more suitable question might be who was responsible for showing it in the first place.
Continuing, "Encirclement '61" says that the "anti-Com- munist Cuban government (Batista's)" fell because "the most widely circulated Catholic paper" convinced many Americans that Castro was not a Communist. Can anyone believe that Ba- tista, who might have made an honest living butchering cattle in Chicago rather than people in Cuba, would not eventually have been driven from the land he terrorized? Many dic- tators find methods to postpone their demise, but none has yet discovered the secret of perpetual longevity.
Despite the film's ridiculous charges (or perhaps because of them), Thurmond's defense of its showing received wide- spread support. The reason is painfully clear—for many Ameri- cans, the label "anti-Communist" guarantees a fine product, just as "Made in Germany" insure fine optical equipment. Few bother to ispect the contents, yet when men such as Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara curtail this extremist trash, the Legions of the Right begin a frantic search for the Communists they believe have penetrated the inner circles of the govern- ment.
The label "anti-Communist" is not sacrosanct, as shown by "Encirclement '61." If their supporters would pause to in- vestigate before blindly rushing to a flag-waving defense of America, the far-right organizations would lose much of their support. But this is America, where there is an organization to support everything. One can only hope for a miracle.

Well the beanie-wearers have descended upon this pristine vil- lage and have taken note of our many shops, and total lack of drinking facilities.
Registration has left its scars uipon Alfred's brood again. I heard of one frosh who was so confused that he became a mem/ber of Hill- el, A.U.C.A., the John, Birch Soci- ety and the Jehovah's Witnesses.
The potion is flowing in record quantity this year down the road.
I won't mention what that potion is because it is over 3.2 which is too intoxicating for our presses.
The bridge addicts are at it again. One of them awoke in the middle oi the night last year and announced to his over finessed roommate "Time is trump!"
Note to freshman boys: 49 frosh girls have been picked up singing the Alma Mater to date.
Bartlett and the Bridk have been in operation for over a week now, and the freshmen have received
•their first 'ClARE packages" from home.- (No connection intended).
The lines in Bartlett aren't too long this year, but I heard of one frosh who came in at lunch, and was asked to put his jacket and tie on when he left.

Of, By, and For
by Justin
The goal of "Of By and F o r "
is to keep the entire student body informed on Senate activities and to comment on the actions taken in the name of the students of Alfred. Unlike on many other cam- puses in the United States, the officers and members of the Sen- ate have been most cooperative and always willing to discuss any portion of program.
When dealing with "any repre- sentative body great care must be excercised in choosing those who are to serve. (Last year the men's dorms made an extremely poor showing on the Senate floor.
These three residences were en- titled to a total of seven repre- sentatives. Only four of these seats were ever filled and three of them were vacated before the end of the year 'because the at- tendance regulations of the Sen- ate were completely disregarded by the students involved.
Several days ago I spoke with Alex Zoldan, Senate President, about the plans for the 1961-19«2 school year. He first remarked albout this year's orientation pro- gram. In past years, upperclass- men have conducted themselves like the Frosh they were suppose to be superior to. However, Alex feels this .year a certain amount

Campus Caravan Begins Year With New Format
T h e Campus Carvan started its twelfith year of broadcasting 'with a new format for programming and a new set of ideals and goals.
T h e new expanded broadcasting plans include feur audience inter- est levels. First, there is the uni- versity news which wil Ibe prim- arily directed towards students and people in the listening areas.
Included in this category are the visits of various dignattaries and special activiities.
The second form of news will be directed at only students. In- cluded in this area are fraternity and sorority news and the general social condition and temper of the campus.
Two young men who will be designated as the "Oruesome Two- some" in the weeks to come will handle the sports news. Eric Har- rison and Al Scbeffler will partici- pate in broadcasting the latest Al- fred victories and also will in- terview our athletic heros and champions.

Frosh Breeze Through Week Of Orientation
A freshman class of over 360 students arrived at Alfred Univer- sity to begin a week of orientation and a career of higher education, on Sunday, September 17.
Immediately following the Par- ent's Convocation and meetings with the faculty members in the various departments, the Fresh- men met with their student advis- ors. A total of seventy-eight upper class men and women volunteered their services to the Student Sen- ate in order to make the program a highly successful venture.
Meetings, tests, conferences and
¡registration filled out the days of the new additions to the Alfred student body, while social activi- ties took up most of the evenings.
The Blue Key played host to ion the first night of Orientation t h e members of the class of '66 W e e k . After presenting the -"Frosh" with their beanies at a
nominal cost, Alex Zoldan, Student Senate president ,and Ernie Shaw, Blue Key president, proceeded to
»explain Alfred tradition and fresh- man status to those assembled.
Monday night the Class of '65 along with -their Student Advisors, attended a dance in the Men's Gym which followed a banquet at
<the Brick. Toastntaster Alex Zol- dan introduced President Drake and Dr. Joseph Seidlin, Dean of the Graduate School, who were the evening's speakers.
T h e final two nights of the Ori- entation Program were highlight- ed by a free movie, a Juke Box Dance in the Campus Center, a fac- ulty panel discussion on the topic
"On Human Freedom" and Campius Center Open Housé.
All through the week the campus was the scene of many spontane- ous sings and "pep-rallies," where members of the Class or '66 dem- onstrated their knowledge of the Alma Mater and cheers at the re- quest of members oí the upper glasses.
Young Democrats
The Young Demócrata will hold the first meeting of the 1961-62 year In the lou#e of the Campus Center at 7:80 p.m. en Thursday, September 26.
Dr. Leach will speak on the topic "What Is A Democrat."
All are Invited.
trials and tribulations in the field of sports.
The last level of interest is call- ed the "Weekly Campus Feature."
The Caravan will shine the spot- light on an outstanding activity, interview or discussion.
'The purpose of thè Campus Car- avan is twofold. ¡Namely, it is to provide a program for the- stu- dents' listening enjoyment and participation. Secondly, the radio program is the official voice of the Alfred Campus. It broadcasts the excitment and intimlcies of our campus to interested persons in a radius of one hundred miles.
The untimate goal of the pro- gram is to promote a desire on the part of students for their own radio station. The advisability of having a full time radio station at Alfred will be geared and mea- sured against how important a place in student activities the Campus Caravan holds. Students are urged to participate hy com- ing down for interviews and fos- tering broadcasting interest. It is also important that the faculty provide the program with pertin- ent information and announce- ments.
During the coming year, the Cam- pus Center will serve free coffee and doughnuts in the lounge at the broadcasts. This is hy cour- tesy of the Center and the invi- tation is extended to everyone.
France Gets AU Student for Year
Marica A. Horowitz, AU '63, is spending a year at the Institute for American Universities in Aix- en^Provence in the south of France. Marcia, a sister of Theta Theta Chi, was headline director of the Fiat Lux last year.
While at the Institute, Marcia will follow a program of French Language Studies, psychology ,and education.
T h e Institute, celebrating its fifth anniversary under its pre- sent director, provides a program for American under-graduates in terested in European studies. Rich experience in the cultural centers of Provence is afforded by field trips and supplemented by inde pendent travel to the neighboring countries of Italy, Spain, and Switzerland. Through its academic and cultural program, the Insti- tute's goal is to prepare students to return home with a broader comprehension of foreign peoples and of themselves.

Dillingham sums up the CASP as follows: "The African students' observations and experiences inside and outside the classroom are going to be most helpful in forming their ideas on the development of their country's economy and their insti- tutions of learning.
"Our smaller colleges, with the emphasis on close advising and the personal interest of professors and administrators in each individual student, make the difficult task of social and academic adjustment in America easier for the young Afri- can."

play in 1962. Second semester sports include (basketball, table) tennis, badminton, softlball and horseshoes.
Penalty for individual forfeit- ure is loss of one point. Team for- feits cost five points, as well as failure to send a representative to a board meeting.
Twenty five points a r e given for first place in the teaim tour- neps; fifteen for second; ten for third and five for fourth. Ten points are given to the winner of Individual tournaments; five to the other finalist. Starting in H>62, third place in the individuals will ibe worth three points and fourth one point.
Defending champs in footiball are the Delta Sigs by virtue of their victory in the final game over KN. Kappa Psl will 'be de- fending its bowling crown against Lambda Chi who finished a close second last year.
Intramural activities last year featured an over-abundance of for-
feits as well as occasional over- agressiveness which led a t times to unsportsmanlike play. I hope that this year's play will see none of these unsavory occurrences.
DiCamillo to Coach Harriers;
Meet Buffalo State October 2
by Bill Stutman and Dan Speck
Autumn at Alfred carries with it the start of the football season;
it also signifies the beginning of cross-country, an undeservedly un- publicized sport. For those of the freshmen (and upperclassmen) who have been stopping on the street to gape as semi-clad run- ners pass, this article will serve as an opportunity to become ac- quainted with one of Alfred's most successful teams.
Although the Saxon harriers will not have the services of such former superstars as Frank Fin- nerty and 'Larrie iSweet or such stalwarts as Charlie Williams and Joe DiCamillo, the return of four varsity lettermen, a strong con- tingent of varsity runners, and six sophomores from last year's fine freshman team should provide a solid core of trackmen. DiCamillo, who graduated last June, is taking over t h e coaching chores from Dr. Milton Tuttle, on a year's leave of absence from the school.
He will have two senior letter- men, Dan Speck and ILaTry Bird, and two Juniors, Bob Lewkowiez and Jim Scott. Upperclassmen Bob

phies home to the Alfred campus.
