Schenck was first introduced to the South Sea Island life on the advice of his Hawaiian valet. Since then, he has made numerous trips to the South Seas, and each time he has received honors accorded royalty. He is the outhor of the 1940 best seller. "Come Unto These Yellow Sands".
Key Center Here Reports Action
Dr. Roland L. Warren, chairman of the Civilian Morale program at the Key center here reports that there has been considerable activity on the part of the various members of the committee.
A conference was held in Albany this week which was attended by Key Center Chairmen and Defense Officials.
It was decided to impress the services of the Rotary Clubs and Exchange Clubs into making up lists of available lists of speakers for defense work.
Students are asked to volunteer to help draw up bibliography lists and reports of possible speakers submitted by clubs.
Dr. Warren reports that at present a group of students are working on a round table discussion on "What are We Fighting For". These students are: Robert Myer '44, John Ryan '42 and George Hyarns '43.
Students are needed to help work on press releases according to Prof. Ed- ward C. Galbreath.
Dean Alfred E. Whitford and Dr.
Roland L. Warren spoke before the Jamestown Division for a worker's drive for funds in that area.
Roger Marks '43 and Margaret Ames '43 have recently been added to the committee.

Alfred To Have Black-out Soon
Alfred will have its first blackout before the end of April. This will be in conjunction with similar action in the rest of Allegany County. At a meeting of the Civilian Defe»se Coun- cil last Wednesday plans1 for this black out were discussed and work for the various committees was outlined.
Eight main groups have been formu- lated within the council. Sixteen Boy Scouts wiJl act a s messengers.
Drivers will transport wounded case®, and the Fire Department will act as a rescue squad.
Air Wardens ana firewatchers will be stationed at nine different places around the town. Police have a sub division of auxiliary police who are to control panicky rioting and bomb ex- tinguishment.
Emergency Medical Headquarters has been established at t h e infirmary.
Five nurses' and six aids compose this division. Emergency Police Crews will care for road repair, decontamin- ation, demolition and clearance.
Emergency Utility Works is com- posed of blackout and warning com- mittees. Telephone operators will assist in this group. Warnings from outside will come to control head- quarters from Hornell. These signals will be flashed through by means of colored lights; yellow, alert; blue, im- pressive signs; and red, which means black out by night and a i r raid in the day.
Unaffiliated
Group May Pay Social Dues
At a recent meeting of non-sorority women and non-fraternity men, the following suggestion was considered:
"That all students, including Fresh- men, who are not members or pledges of a sorority or fraternity by Nov. 1, of the college year, should pay fifty cents per year for the support of a non-sorority, non-fraternity organiza- tion.
The money thus collected would be used for social functions and projects for the benefit of this group. It is claimed that at present this group suffers from a lack of social affairs, and thai this new organization would correct this condition.
This proposition will be voted on by the students concerned in its or- ganization on May 1, at Firemens Hall.
There will be special ballots and each student is requested to ask the sen- ator in charge at the Hall for a ballot.
A. U. Approved In Navy's V-l Training Set-Up
Alfred University has been ap- proved to offer the Navy's V-l apprentice seamen program for freshmen and sophomores and high school seniors accepted for admission to college.
Candidates must meet certain phys- ical and character standards, must be taking a course leading to a degree and must be from 17-19 years of age.
After one and a half years of college work, they must take an objective type examination. If they pass high, they may be put in class V-5 for avi- ation cadet flight training and be al- lowed to finish two years of college.
Those selected for V-7 class will be allowed to finish their college courses before going into specialized training for commissions as mid-shipmen.
Those not chosen for either of these classes will be allowed to finish two years of college before entering active duty as apprentice seamen.
The sophomore test is scheduled for the spring of 1943, and may also be taken by freshmen.
In addition to the above program, it has been announced that those juniors and seniors who are working for de-
business administration, grees in
commerce, or physics with a back- ground of mathematics including dif- ferential equations, are eligible to apply for ensign's commisions in the Naval Reserve. If they are accepted, they will be allowed to finish their college courses.

Salvage Drive
Planned By B. K.
May 5, is the date announced for
"Salvage Day," in the interest of na- tional defense. On that date a drive, sponsored by Blue Key and assisted by Prof. W. M. Burditt. will be held to collect scrap materials in the village.
That date just precedes the month- ly clean-up. May 6, so all the material may be placed at the curb at the same time. All kinds' of scrap iron, brass, aluminum, or rubber will be taken.
Discarded stoves, old gas light fixtures, pipe or other such scrap, useless to the householder, can be utilized.
Householders and student residence groups are asked to have things out at the curb. In the case of heavy ar- ticles or large quantities the salvage crew will be willing to carry the ma- terial to the curb, or to drive in for it where possible. Tin cans a r e of no use since they can't be disposed of.
The crew would appreciate it if the salvage materials were placed sepa- rate from the cans.

Blue Key Holds Initiation For 14 New Members
com-! Even with an average of 15 to 20 pounds from each residence, the drive would put much into the defense chan- nels and the money derived would go to a worthy cause. The Blue Key has suggested that the money from the sale of the scrap be used to pur- chase Bonds to be put into the War
Formal initiation for the fourteen new members in the Blue Key was held Sunday night at Delta Sig a t 7:30. The program was- in the charge of Douglas Beals '42.
The new members initiated were:
Robert Jolley '42, Merle Greene '42, John Baker '44, Elmer Fitzsimmons '44, Robert L. Williams '44, Charles Brady '44, LeRoy Greenspan '44, Marian Nadler '44, Robert Meyer '44, Frederick W. Lane '43, Sidney Levine '43, Calvin Robinson '43, Clinton Hamn '43 and William Evans '43.
Back To '17, '18 On Campus
Browsing through the Fiat Lux files in the library the other day, your re- porter came upon some odd bits of information in the issues of 1917-1918 which might prove of interest.
Alfred was going on much the same in those days, as it is today, with World War II now uppermost in everyone's mind. In spite of high stiff collars for men and ankle-length skirts for women, Alfred students were not much different in 1917. Athletics, dances, dating problems were just about as important as they are now.
For instance, the late appearance of Red Norvo at St. Pat's Ball two years ago had nothing on the orchestra for one dance, known as the Second Col- lege Assembly and held on a Monday evening in Firemens Hall. This band is reported to have arrived some two and a half hours late, but nothing daunted dancers in those days, for they went right on to the piano music kindly provided by a young lady from Hornell. Later Prof. Wingate "sound- ed up the Glee Club with a little close harmony". By special consent of the Blue Key. closing hours of the dance were extended until the late hour of 12:30.
The ratio of men and women on campus was affected by the war, as much then as now. Alfred College opened in the fall of 1917 with a total registration of 140, some 30 less than that of the year before, and of the 40 members of the freshmen class,
only 15 were men. However, 40% of the total student body was still men, although the registration as a whole was 20% lower than that of 1916.
War topics were current on campus, one talk before the students, being on the topic, "The Submarine a Wonder of the Deep". Library notes revealed some of the new books on the shelves to be Drill Regulations and Service Manual, Infantry and Drill Regula- tions in the U. S. Army, Boy's Book of Submarines, and The American Red Cross Text-Book on Food and Dietetics.
According to W. Varick Nevins III,
"Sparking in the balcony is all right,"
as long as there is no smoking in the building, but; Alfred students of '17, were warned by an announcement in heavy type on the front page of The Fiat, "No Fair Holding Hands When the Lights are Low—Movies Wednes- day Night at 8 o'clock."
College men who complain of a
Scholarship Fund.
Any suggestions for the salvage project, or notifications of material would be welcome. A post card to Prof. W. M. Burditt or a telephone call to 72-Y-4 between 1:30 and 3:00 Monday, April 23 or 24, would give your suggestions to those working on the project.
NEWS IN REVIEW
By Doc Manchester
The Allied Nations have received good news, in fact the best news since World War II started—that of the bombing of Japan.
Four chief cities on the islands of Japan were the objectives of the American bombers; the seaport of Kobe; the industrial city of Nagoya, center of the leading Japanese air- craft plants; and also Yokohama and Tokyo.
Where the planes came from has not been made known as yet, but they are believed to have come from car- riers located in the Pacific Ocean be- longing to the Pacific Fleet. Although it has not been confirmed in Washing- ton, the Japs claim that nine of the American planes were shot down.
The United Press reported that the Japanese Government broadcast a warning to the people to prepare for
"future attacks" by United Nations planes, adding that the empire has now been brought into the war zone.
At the same time this warning was heard in Japan, the United States itself heard warning of a similar na- ture. Various senators stated that

play, takes the role of Liliom, play- ing opposite Margaret Aylor, a junior, whose work in dramatics is well known to Alfred theatre-goers. Joan Arnold, Jean Brockett, Stanton Lang- worthy, Charles Forbes, Paul Pettit, Frank Snyder, Louis Tomassetti and Coulson Hageman are all included in the list of seniors who will take t h e stage tomorrow night for the last time.
Outstanding Effects
Striking scenic and sound effects will make Liliom a play long remem- bered by its Alfred audience. "The play is an extraordinary combination of realism, low comedy, a bit of melo- drama, a celestial scene, and the re- turn to earth of the troubled spirit of the hero, woven around a beauti- ful love story," was the comment of the New York Sun in its criticism of Molnar at his best.
The play opens in an amusement park on the outskirts of Budapest, moves to a near-by park, a photograph studio, a railroad embankment out- side the city, a courtroom in heaven.
Liliom, his wife Julie and the minor characters move in these surroundings with human troubles, and human dreams. Heywood Broun said of Liliom. "We can recall no other play which has captured the same spirit of being on the earth and yet always on tiptoe to be up and away to rarer regions".

War Scholarship Committee
Plans and actions for the War Scholarship Fund are well under way but there still remains much to be done to insure the success of the plan. In order to make the plan work we must shee that every available dollar goes to buy bonds which are to be later turned into scholarship funds for war veterans.
Everything is not quite clear as to how the various organiza- tions on campus are i to take part in this program for defense and for future rehabilitation. For instance, the various fraternity houses and sorority houses aren't quite sure as to just what they should do about banning corsages at their dances this spring and if they do, what the money should be used for. It seems that all our efforts should be concentrated on one thing rather than on several small projects so that would indicate that all groups on campus should ban corsages and contribute the money to the scholarship fund much in the same manner as was done at St. Pat's.
Perhaps a committee, which might be called the War Scholar- ship Fund committee, should be created with members of the ad- ministration and student body acting on it. This committee could handle all the details of carrying on the drive and seeing that inter- est in the affair did not die out in a year. They could see that stamps were made available for all groups and they could devise new schemes to raise the money. They might also help decide, when the time comes, who is to get the benefit of these funds.
Faculty members should be on the committee \o give it perman- ence and each year they might select new student members to help carry on the work and finally to help decide what is to be done with the money, much of which will have been raised by students.

Got Any Scrap Metal ?
"Scrap metal for Japan" will be the battle cry of the Alfred Salvage Crew on May 5. This time we are not going to sell the metal to the Japs, rather we w^ill give it to them along with a little powder.
The salvage crew plans to collect that old stove you have in your cellar and that rusty iron pipe that's been lying in your cellar for so long. Student residence groups, faculty and townspeople are asked to cooperate in this drive for scrap materials. If you have any of the materials needed in this drive give Prof. Burditt or some member on Blue Key a ring and they will see that it is picked up on the drive.
Every bit that householders and students do in this drive will have four-fold benefit: you will salvage materials in the interest of national defense; second, the salvage will be turned into money which will buy War Bonds; third, these bonds will be held later in the scholarship fund; and fourth, you will have done some "cleaning up"
without expense to the village.
Remember, lets have scrap to send to the Japs by way of shells and battle ships and the like!
Referendum Planned
The non-fraternity and non-sorority men and women will have an opportunity to decide whether they want to become a unified, dues-paying group at the coming elections.
This paper believes that the benefits to be derived from the acceptance of this plan far outweigh any faults that it may have.
First, more and larger social functions will be possible for inde- pendent students. Second, fairer competition for the scholarship cups will be possible. Third, the small dues that will be required will heighten the interest of the independents themselves.
But most important of all it will make the independent group a vital and potent force in campus elections. It will help to put an end to the "smoke-filled room" decisions made by groups of fraternities and sororities concerning campus officers. The present undemocratic and unrepresentative system will go by the boards if and when a unified and active group of two hundred or more students of independent status is formed.
The formation of such a group might have anoth'er political result. It might break down the present system to such an extent that a party-system of polities would replace it. Under such a system Alfred and its students would stand to benefit most.
At any rate, it is the duty of every independent student on the campus to think over the plan and then vote. That is the democratic way to break down time-worn barriers and build a more democratic campus.
Editor's Mail Bag
The Fiat Lux welcomes its readers to express their opinions on various issues through its columns. Readers who have criticisms or suggestions or are in disagreement with any matter which is printed in the paper are urged to express themselves in a clear, concise fashion. AH letters must be signed, but the signatures of the writers will be withheld, if the writers so desire.
Editor, Fiat Lux:
I want to congratulate you on the outcome of the recent Fiat elections and also take this opportunity to in- dicate a condition, which in my humble estimation, deserves the rising of righteous indignation deep in the heart of every Alfredian.
Our beautiful campus is intersected by a stream which if followed to its geographical conclusion appears to feed the stream that filled the Atlan- tic Ocean! and what's more its C's and K's are interchangeable if you check orf a New York State Road Sign and then on a Frosh Handbook.
Makes you feel sorta proud, doesn't it?
Well, it does me, or at least it did me, until George and I went down to
•watch the Mermaids from the Brick who are wont to help the busy little beavers build their obstructions to navigation and who love to play in its ripples and its riffles, and we were saddened to observe the conditions under which these poor kiddies were obliged to gain a moment's respite from the cares of the work-a-day world.
But it is not for them that I speak, but rather for the spirit of progress and love of beauty which has always typified the Alfred campus.
Wei! to get back . . . Between West University Street and Burdick Hall, there exists a deplorable state of af- fairs which is traceable directly to the assortments of objets d'art whose origin was undoubtedly some- one's garbage dump. At a cursory glance one may note, this evening, a Cuba Ice Cream Carton, a number of beer cans and other cans and junk too numerous to mention. I'll '.be willing to wager that there is enough scrap in that stream to finance the total War Effort in Western New York for quite a while.
It's now what Mesrs Allen, Ken- yon and Main would call a pretty sight and it ain't improving.
Let's restore this spot of scenic beauty to its former natural glory even if it takes the class of '45 all summer to do it.
Editor, Fiat Lux:
I received the March 24th copy of the Fiat today, and I wish to take this opportunity to thank you very much for sending it to me. It frequently be- comes a source of inspiration as1 well as a constant source of information, and is most heartily received by me, I assure you.
The last I heard from him, Glenn Mudge was an Air Cadet and stationed at Albany, Ga. If there is no later data perhaps you would like to know that. Thanks again, I remain',
Very truly your®,

Joseph Laura Enlists For Second Time
Enlisted in the first World War;
was wounded and gassed; sent by the government to Alfred to learn a trade;
afterwards spent time in a Veteran's camp at Tupper Lake; enlisted in the service again at the beginning of the present war; this is the story of Joseph Laura.
During the last World War, Joseph Laura '25 was overseas and while in France he was wounded and gassed.
At the end of the war he was sent to Alfred University to attend' the Agri- cultural and Technical Institute under the government's rehabilitation pro- gram. He graduated in 1925 and since that time has been a loyal alumnus. He has spent most of the past year in a Veteran's Camp at Tup- per Lake. When United States enter- ed World War II, he enlisted in the Personnel Department of the Navy and is now aboard the U. S. S. Dredge.
Mr. Laura has attended all the Alumni banquets of Alfred, including the banquet held in New York City last fall, in honor of Bill Brown.
When asked his reasons for enlist- ing a second time in the service of his country, he said, "As long as I can do my bit for my country, I will."

A T T E N T I O N MARKSMEN It has come to the attention of the Village authorities that some people are improving their marks- manship by shooting at birds within the corporation limits. We wish to call attention to a village ordinance prohibiting the use of firearms in the incorporated vil- lage, also a State law against the shooting of birds. We sincerely hope further action will not be necessary.

ROMAN BANQUET HELD
With the expectancy of a gas ra- tioning, automobile owners have taken to ways and means of protecting what- ever fuel they can buy. Carl Jaoobi bought a locking cap for his gas tank and then lost his key. He managed to pry off the cover, but ruined it in the operation. Still intent on prevent- ing his gas from being siphoned, he bought another. To be sure, he lost the key again. Perhaps it would be better to trust people.

Despite the appearance of the co-eds in various pastel colored outfits, the brightest objects of attire on the campus are still Ted DiLaura's ties.
They're so famous that there is a well-known joke about them around town.
Comments on the assembly program varied from "unusual" to "strictly corn". But disregarding the quality of the act, someone ought to nab the director of the outfit for violation of the Child Labor Law.
The troupe has a very clever method of keeping the audience awake. If the students dozed off during the piano solos, the fanfare which pre- ceeded every "windy" number was sure to wake them.

Bills were changing hands so rapid- j ly in front of the P. O. on Friday eve, it seemed that the University Bank had some stiff competition.
Upon closer investigation, however, we discovered that Homer Colburn had changed a $20 bill and was paying his debts in singles. That was the only time that I regretted not having loaned money.

The most depressing-looking lot on the campus is the gang of sophs who | are having difficulties with quan lab.
They're in a hole and signs of being in the dark show quite clearly on their faces.
* • • Dear Reader:
Some things of interest that occur on the campus can't be printed for one reason or another. But those things that could be printed just don't seem to happen. No one is doing any- thing unusual, either interesting or humorous.
Therefore, will somebody do some- thing. Shoot someone (preferably a prof), start a riot in the Collegiate, run a car into a lamp post or up the library stairs, fill up Prexy's pool with cement, paint the Brick doors, blow up quan lab (but, definitely), build a bowling alley where a guy and a gal can play games together, start a chain letter among students for dates, etc., etc., etc.
Maybe you want to ' be original.
Think up some project yourself, but for my sake, please do something. I'm desperate.
Sincerely, A. Sax

REHEARSES PROGRAM
The Alfred University Orchestra is rehearsing for the Moving-Up Day As- sembly, May 7. Regina Wright '43, and Edgar Bates '44, will both play solos.
Ah Spring!
According to all signs, Spring, a o companied by a few snow flurries and fur coats, has come to Alfred. Sap buckets are hanging on the sugar bushes out in the country, and even here in town buds on the trees are beginning to swell. Rumor has it that the traffic problem up at Steinheim has popped up again, and that these spring evenings are just as romautic as last year's.
Early morning sounds are beginning to issue from the robins and from the tennis courts over by South Hall.
Up on sorority row and in the fra- ternity houses about town there have been recent emigrations to the sleep- ing porches. Some of the profs are even hauling their cars out of winter storage, but a few still don't trust the weather and are afraid of being caught in another snowbank this year.
Maybe they're right, and by the time these words are read, we'll all be shoveling our walks. Who's going to dispute the opinions of a prof?
Anyway, spring is a great time of year in Alfred. A new wave of feathercuts and crewcuts sweeps the oampus, students doze in the park in- stead of in classrooms, the stores down town sprout awnings, pledges have fun doing spring house cleaning, and the girls at the Brick take sunbaths.
Yes, sir, spring is a great time of year—hey, who pushed me in this snowbank?
Alfred Gets Good Rating
Alfred is rated 29 among 373 col- leges and universities whose first-year students took the 1941 edition of the Psychological Examination sponsored by the American Council on, Educa- tion. The rating placed Alfred well up in the upper tenth of the list.

Students Put On Muscles Under New P. E. Set-Up Statistics Show
Spinach, Pepsi Cola, and Car- ter's Little Liver Pills may be fast working body builders but the Al- fred Physical Ed. staff believes in doing it the hard way through strenuous exercise and a lot of it.
And furthermore, their system works, as can be shown by the mass of statistics now showing on the bulletin board of the gym.
The student body as a whole has bettered its score by approximately 10% in the seven weeks of this new program. In the first tests given at the beginning of this semester, Johnny Kerchner held the rope climbing record of 4.9 seconds, Bill Kopko led in push ups with 43, and Dave Armant was the fastest man with a time of 52.7 seconds for three laps. In the latest tests given the last week of March, Ernie Tancous set a new rope climbing mark of 3.8 seconds, Ray Shear did 51 push ups, and Armant bettered his own time with a 51.4 per- formance. These examples are typic- al and representative of the classes as a whole. As a matter of fact, the percentage improvement was greater for those mediocre athletes who were in a pathetic physical condition before the present program went into effect.
Many students have been trying to figure out how the marks are scored.
The object is to get as low a score as possible—high scores indicate a weakness in one, two or all three tests. The scores ranged from 66.1 to 110 in the first test, but dropped to from 61 to 104 in the last.
The times for the three laps and the rope climb are totaled and to this is added the score for the push ups which is found as follows: One to five push ups count 12 points, six to ten count 11, eleven to fifteen count 10 and son on. Willie Crandall was low man for the last tests with 61 points, followed by Ed Chrzan at 62.5, Ray Shear with 64, Ernie Tancous with 64.3 and Dave Armant with 64.6.
The attendance at the gym classes has been generally good but there are some who have adopted the attitude of
"What can they do to us if we do overcut. They can't make good with the threat of making me take gym next year since I will have to anyway. And they certainly won't flunk me for not taking gym."
Reports from those in charge of the program can be summarized as fol- lows: "Don't bet on that. Failure to graduate can be the penalty for per- sistent and inexcusable cutting of gym classes."
Thus it would seem that those with carefree attitudes had better either start going to gym or else . . . .
Open Badminton Tourney To Be Played Off Wed.
An open women's badminton tourna- ment will run off at the Davis Gym on Wednesday, April 29th, at 7 o'clock.
The players will be divided into classes A and B, and will play only against members of their own class. All per- sons wishing to compete in this tournament should get in touch with Sally Jane .Morris sometime this week.

Sermons, Addresses Of Prexy Davis
Indexed for Use
The Alfred University Library and the Seventh Day Baptist Historical Society Library in Plainfield, N. J., have just received the Index of Ser- mons and Addresses of Boothe Colwell Davis, B.D., D.D., LL.D., President of Alfred University, 1895-1938, a type- written document recently completed in President Norwood's office.
It is fastened in covers, labeled and placed accordingly in box files in the Alfredana Room of the University Library. The aim has been to arrange .the works permanently for easy refer- ence. A supplement has been added to the Index including the years since Doctor Davis' retirement, through 1938. The divisions of the Index are:
Part I. Sermons; Part II. Addresses;
Part III, Supplement (1934-1938);
Part IV, Chronological Index. Some of these sermons and addresses have been printed in the Sabbath Recorder in the past and several are included in Country Life Leadership, A Body of Country Life Sermons by Dr. Davis, published in 1921.
During Dr. Boothe C. Davis' long term as President of Alfred Univer- sity, and even in the years immediate- ly preceding his election, while he was still pastor of the First Alfred Seventh Day Baptist Church, he preached many sermons and gave a vast number of general and special addresses at all manner of public oc- casions. History, theology, philosophy, politics, economics, travel, biography, and science are all involved.
"Imbedded in it is eloquent testi- mony to the growth of ideas, and de- velopment of programs, the crystalliza- tion of educational aims and the solu- tion of problems which characterized university and church life in the last years of the nineteenth century and the first third of the twentieth," stated Pres. J. Nelson Norwood. "Finally, it is all characteristic of the thought- ful yet practical, vigorous yet kindly, at times troubled yet optimistic gentleman whose spiritual expression it all is."

On the Ball
By Muriel Strong
It is a woman's privilege to change h,er mind, but sometimes the incon- sistency of women is almost unex- plainable, much as we may hate to ad- mit it. If there are any two things that Alfred women dislike doing, they are: getting up in the morning, and complying with the new physical edu- cation program—or so we thought un- til about a week ago, when it seemed that the tables were turned com- pletely.
Now if we should walk into the Brick lounge, or into at least one of the sorority houses between the hours of 6 and 7 A.M. on any week day morning, we should find the occupants of these residences doing exercises with what could almost be called vig- or the enthusiasm. No one has com- pelled them to get up and take exer- cises at this unearthly hour of the morning—the whole thing is purely a voluntary affair. If they do it faith- fully for a period of fifteen' minutea for four mornings a week, they may receive an hours gym credit for it.
Credit for originating this project goes to Ruth Rogers, who can be found conducting these early morning classes at the Brick. She says that sometimes she has trouble getting the girls to do their "daily dozen" stren- uously enough to be beneficial to them, but that otherwise things seem to go along very smoothly. Congratulations
"Ranger". You've really started some- thing.
