ALUMNI HALL SOON TO BE DEDICATED;
NEARS COMPLETION
Evoking much favorable comment from all angles as its alterations rapidly progress, old Academy Hall is blossoming forth into a structure ' of beauty and utility that even the most optimistic Alfredians had scarcely hoped to see.
Once one of the oldest, and now practically the youngest building on the campus, Alumni Hall, as it is to be known hereafter, is regarded as the finest unit that has been added to the "University equipment in some years. Reviving the beauty that first endeared the Hall to AHredians of generations ago, and adding to it the most practical of modern equip- ment, the architects and builders are working to complete their task on schedule time.
The present state of completion of the remodelling is indicated to some extent by the recent arrival of radi- ators and auditorium seats, which are soon to be installed. Aside from this work, and the erection of wood- work trim in various places, a few
"finishing touches" will make the Hall complete, and ready for its re- dedication on Founder's Day.
The exterior of the building has been left practically unaltered except for the division of the long windows on the side, made necessary by the erection of the large balcony in the auditorium. Class rooms are once more located on the ground floor of the building, but they are radically different from the original rooms as well as the wrestling headquarters and Wee Playhouse which have more recently occupied the portion of the structure.
Although the old double stairway is to remain essentially unchanged, some of the clearance space above it has bene utilized to enlarge the balcony. The auditorium with its vaulted ceiling is the same size as before, but. the seating capacity is vastly increased not only by the large U-shaped balcony, but by the fact that the stage does not encroach in the least upon the space in the main room.
What were once the coach's office and the caretaker's rooms are now j occupied by the stage and dressing!
rooms. This equipment, together with the footlights and triple bord- j ers that are being installed are look- ed upon as adequately adopted for the improved production of dra- matics.
The remodelled Alumni Hall will not only be a structure of which [ future AHredians will be proud, but, it is hoped, will increase, through its improved facilities, student inter- est in dramatics and other cultural forms of entertainment.
FROSH END SEASON AT ROCHESTER SAT.
With the end of the season in view, the Freshmen team will invade Ilo- j Chester Saturday to clash with the undefeated University of Rochester yearling team. The winner of this contest will be the lead for the Fresh- men football championship of the New York State Conference. Follow- ing the game the huskies will break training.
At the same time, the Varsity eleven will be trying to win over Rutgers at New Brunswick. The chances are considered good for the Purple, as both teams have been r e- ceiving similar setbacks by opposition of the same caliber.
OBITUARY
News of the death of "Chet"
Lyon '26, came as a distinct shock to his many Alfred friends. Why a young man standing on the very threshold of an abundant life should be taken, almost without warning, will ever be one of life's mys- teries.
Chester Paden Lyon will always be remembered by Al- fredians. as not only one of the outstanding men of his class, but of his generation of col- lege students as well. He was respected and loved as a char- acter of the highest type by all who knew him. A Christian gentleman, an honor student, and an athlete of "no little abili- ty is a rare combination, and yet Chester possessed all these qualities.
A member of Delta Sigma Phi, Eta Mu Alpha, Phi Psi Omega, Captain of Track, Manager of Basketball. President of the Student Senate, and Magna Cum Laude are but p few of his college honors which were just- ly earned.
Though he has departed from our midst, yet the memory of him will ever be dear to the hearts of those who had the good fortune to know him.
POLICY COMMITTEE BEGINS ACTIVITIES
Plunging into the midst of one of Alfred's most popularly discussed problems, the Student Policy Com- mittee opened this year's activity at a meeting on Sunday morning with two hours of objective consideration of the present social situation.
After deliberating upon several phases of the matter, the committee decided that, for the present, it would neither deal further with the question of "dates," nor present, any project of this nature before the Stu- dent Body.
The committee came to this con elusion for two reasons, the discus- sion of which is summarized as fol- lows:
(a) A complete and well-equipped recreation center would greatly im- prove the present social situation.
However, a makeshift center of this sort would be of little or no value, j as lias been proven by (lie failure of past attempts at the Community House adjacent to the church. Hence the Committee deems it best to do- lay further action until such as the University can afford to establish a first-class recreational center.

INJURIES FORCE TOM SERVATIUS
TO QUIT SCHOOL
Tom Servatius '30, outstanding Varsity football player and wrestler, has been compelled to leave college due to injuries received in the foot- I ball game with Amherst.
During his freshman year, Tom was a shining light on the yearling eleven and a valuable man on the varsity wrestling squad, and in his sopho- j more year was; expected to develop further into a star in both of these sports. However, Servatius' plans for athletic prowess are now nipped in the bud by the unfortunate injury which bordered upon being fatal. A series of fractured bones in the head elicited the medical advice that he discontinue both studies and activi- ties for a year, and entails possibly large expenditures for treatment.
That Servatius will be sorely missed from the Alfred campus is the opinion of a great number of stu- dents, and that some sort of aid be extended to him by the Athletic De- partment in recognition of his un- faltering spirit is the conviction up- held by a large percentage of A. U.
sport enthusiasts.

PREPARING TO MEET LITTLE TEN TEAMS
Alfred's crack Varsity Cross Coun- try team will next face the teams of j the "Little Ten" in the third annual.
New York State Conference Cross | Country meet scheduled for this com-;
ing Saturday at Hamilton College, | Clinton, N. Y. Alfred has already walked away with the first two championship cups, and the Purple and Gold harriers feel confident of their ability to wrest the third suc- cessive cup from opposition furnished by Rochester, Niagara, St. Lawrence, Hamilton, and Hobart.
Seven men will make up the Alfred team which will journey to Hamilton.
They will probably be chosen from among the following: Captain Boul- ton, Goofy Getz, Edg Ladd, Kid Voor- hies, Chick Zschiegner, Sammy Coe, Rocky Rockfeller, Cliff Newlands, and Baldy Baldwin. Charlie May is in- eligible due to the one year ruling, while an injured leg may prevent Newlands from running.
An effort is also being made to pro- mote a "Little Ten" Conference Freshman meet to be held in con- junction with the Varsity race.
CLAWSON INFIRMARY
BOASTS ONE PATIENT
Having conducted a well-attended formal opening, and boasting one j patient to its credit, the Clawson In- j firmary is now efficiently established j as an Alfred institution.
The guest book in the office re- veals the fact that one hundred and forty-five people visited the Infirmary
during the open-house periods last Monday. Since then about a dozen others have come in to inspect the building.
Th.) first patient was John M. Mc- CUT:an, whose ankle was injured re- cently in football practice. After having the ankle x-rayed, "Mac" spent about twenty-four hours at the In- firmary thus establishing himself as the first real patient.
Alfred Places Seven Men Before Hobart's Leading Man In Spectacular Race
Finishing seven men in front of the leading Orange man, the Alfred Var- sity Cross Country team overwhelm- ed the Hobart hill and dalers to the tune of a perfect 3 5-40 score last Fri- day afternoon on Alfred's home course. At no time from start to finish could Hobart furnish stiff op- position, and, wholly unable to cope with the difficult and hilly five and one-half mile Alfred course, handed the A.lfred harriers their fourth suc- cessive victory of the season. The Purple and Gold left their opponents soon after the start, and from that time on were never headed.
In the opening lap on the Merrill Field track, the Alfred team worked its way to the front, Getz leading.
Only two of the Orange opponents managed to hold the pace, and even these two dropped back at the end of the first mile, so that eight. Alfred men led the field.
Always good hiii runners, the Al- fred harriers increased their lead on the rises so that the Orange jersey of Griffith was laft farther and farther behind. Getz and Ladd, the leaders, experienced difficulty at the two and one-half mile mar? Getz being forced out of the race entirely due to illness.

VICTORY
Scoring Two Touchdowns In The Last Three Minutes Of Play, Frosh Win By 19-6 Score
A four-reel film, Fire Clay Re- fractories will be shown a t the next regular meeting of the Ceramic So- ciety to be held at Fireman's Hall, Noember S.
The film shows the mining and loading of the clay, the methods of i testing, and finally the manufacture, I the dry and wet processes being
also clearly illustrated.
The latter part of the film shows the use of Fire Clay Refractories in many industries, including the build- ing and resetting of furnaces and kilns.
The meeting is called for eight o'- clock P. M., and all Ceramic engin- eers are welcomed.
Making two touchdowns in the last three minutes of play, Coach Han- sen's Fighting Freshmen handed the Hobart yearlings a decisive trimming at Merrill Field by a score of 19 to 6 last Saturday. With a re-vamped lineup, the Frosh ran and passed their way to the second victory of the season, and incidentally the first vic- tory won by an Alfred football team at a home game since 1924. Specta- tors pronounced the contest one of the most exciting and well-fought gridiron battles of recent years. Ber- kowitz and Kickham, both of Gran- ville, crossed the goal line for Alfred points.
Alfred made the first score near the end of the first period, following a series of exchanged punts by which the yearlings gained considerable ground. Alfred took the ball on Ho- bart's 35 yard line after McDonald had punted out of bounds. Crisafelll and Staiman advanced the ball to the 10 yard line from which Berkowitz broke through center for a touch down. Crisafelli failed to kick the extra point from placement.
Hobart's only counter came in the third quarter as a result of a concen- trated line attack, Galbraith slipping off right tackle for 15 yards and a touchdown. This was the only limn Hobart threatened the Alfred goal.
A fluke punt by one of the Hobart backs gave the Frosh the ball on Ho- bart's 40 yard line. McFadden pass- ed to Benneweg who got loose and ran to the 5 yard line before he was downed. On the fourth play Stai- man carried the ball across the goal line for Alfred's second touchdown.
MeFadden's drop-kick for the extra point missed its mark by a matter of inches.
Mcllale kicked off to Hobart, ami when they fumbled on the 30 yard line, Kockham scooped up the ball and raced over the goal line. Me- Fadden's try for goal was good and the Frosh were leading 19-fi. Cat- erin's nearly scored when he blocked a Hobart punch and ran I!5 yards to Hobart's 26 yard line before he was brought down. The game ended a minute later with the ball in Hobart's possession as Sackett threw Galbraith for a six yard loss on their 45 yard line.

HOBART GRIDIRON WARRIORS TRIUMPH
IN DECISIVE FSAY
Alfred University's varsity football team was swept off its feet when Ho- bart triumphed at Geneva Saturday, 50 to 0, as the Orange team gained re- venge for the two defeats of the day before and pushed closer to the championship of the New York State Conference. Alfred, throughout the game, did not have a chance and let the machine-like precision of the Orange and Purple defense and at- tack roll on to the overwhelming victory.
Gulick, clever Hobart quarterback, made two long runs for touchdowns.
In the first quarter he received a punt and ran 90 yards for the initial

Fiat Lux Calendar
This week we have a purpose view as we sit down at the old desk I and whale away at the thrashing ma- chine that the salesman called a type- writer. The purpose is this—we want to stir public opinion to the point where some definite step or steps will be taken to de-odorize the creek known as the Kanakadea, which flows through our fair campus.
Who is there among us who has not, on a crystal clear morning in the fall, winter, spring or summer, walk- ed through (.lie campus at peace with the world, only to find that the darn creek is on another orgy, and so the whole day is ruined.
How well do we remember, when as Frosh we lived at Burdick Hall, and were oft awakened in the early morn by the vicious odors wafted in our windows by the gentle zephyrs from the hills. "Lord help us!" we would cry in unison with the room-mate, and at the same moment leap out of ; bed, one of us shutting the window while the other lighted the incense burner. Many times we were sub- jected to the fumes for so long ere we awoke that we were forced to miss as many as two classes in a single morning. I do not doubt that there, are Frosh this year who have suffer- ed even as did we.
How long will this awful state con- • • tinue? Classes are unattended, days ruined, and cuss words wasted when

situation?
If you want to fail and be dropped from college, the directions are simple.
1 Register late.
2. Load yourself with the heav- iest schpdule the faculty will permit.
3. Be late to class and absent when the lesson is difficult and you are unprepared.
4. By all means get out of the courses you do not like.
5. Have no regular periods of study and keep others from having them.
fi. Do not keep your work up, but let it lag, and count on the chance of getting it in the last week of the term.
7. Take no notes in class; do not recite when the instructor calls on you: let your mind wander from the subject of the discussion as much as you can: make it a point to get your next lesson during the recita- tion: go to sleep if possible.
S. Have as many dates as pos- sible during the week.
9. When you go to the library, make as much confusion as you can so that nobody can study.
10. Try to be the mainstay of all the outside social activities.

"Comparatively speaking, our Y W C A is all wrong," said Arline Rust in a short talk at the weekly meeting last Sunday night, in giving reactions to the "Y" convention recently held at Elmira.
Miss Starr continued on a similar trend, by further stating: "It is the alert, keenly-alive person, who is in- terested in the Y W C A. Everyone at the convention was the type of girl who was popular in every way. I went there thinking that it would be a routine-like meeting. It wasn't any- thing of the sort. We had a most interesting time, and I came home with some mighty good friendships.
"We should like to build up the Y M C A. here," continued Miss Starr,
"so that we will have something worthwhile. If the girls will co- operate, we will try to show Alfred that there is something doing every minute, and we'll have a good time doing it."

All of which raised the ques- tion of how much time it took to put out the college weekly.
"Dun't esk" was the Editor's first impulse. But he did, and after much calculating the sum of solid hours devoted to the paper by its reporters and as- sociates was found to total ap- proximately one hundred for the last issue of the "Fiat." In- cidentally, this does not include the editor's time, or that re- quired for setting up and print- ing.
But then, "Who cares about that?"

POLICY COMMITTEE
BEGINS ACTIVITY
Continued from page one.
(B) Since several instances have been cited as proof that such "dat- ing rules" as those under discussion at the present time are of no benefit either scholastically or socially, further consideration of them seems superfluous.
The next meeting of the Student Policy Committee will be held Sun- day morning, October 30, at 10 o'- clock. It is requested that all mem- bers endeavor to be there—promptly.
The Committee wishes to remind the Student Body that it will receive gratefully any suggestions that can be made regarding its discussion or activities.

COACH HANSEN PROMISES MORE GIRLS' ATHLETICS
"I shall do my best to promote girls' athletics," said Coach Hanson in a recent interview. "I am very interested in seeing them off to a good start. Of course, I shall be quite busy this winter with the boy's fresh- man basketball team; nevertheless, I shall devote a good deal of time to the girl's team. Then too, I should like to get the girls interested in their physical training, as I'm sure that it could be made attractive as well beneficial for them."
In past years, girl athletes have felt that their efforts to build up good teams have met with scant recogni- tion and sympathy, and that the ac- tivities of a small uncleus of enthusi- astic sports—women have withstood the burnt of discouragement. Coach

FRENCH CLUB DIVIDES INTO TWO SECTIONS
The French Club has divided into two units this year, the Auxiliary, composed of French II and III stu- dents, while French I students may come as visitors; also the Advanced Club, made up of students taking elective work.
New members in the Advanced Club may be elected from the Auxiliary Club. The Advanced Club will meet on the first and third Mondays of each month, while the Auxiliary Club meets the second and fourth Mondays.

Even Frank Lampman, the gloomy coach of the Varsity cross country team, admits that Alfred has chances of winning the New York State Con- ference hill and dale championship again this year. Statistics on paper show that Alfred should win easily.
Alfred defeated Hobart 15 to 40, and Rochester 19 to 36, while the latter has won over Hamiton 26 to 29 thus giving Alfred a large advantage.
Ladd is the defending champion, and probably will place this year among the leaders.
—But don't count the chickens be- fore they are hatched. Alfred may be off form and loose. The meet will be at Hamilton Colege, Clinton, and over a course of four miles.
Coach Hansen has been reported to have said to his "Fighting Froslv"
that, they are not to get. the "Alfred Spirit"—which is a lot of truth. "The Old Spirit" as it is sometimes called, is a losing spirit, and the sooner the athletic teams realize the fact and the quicker they get a new kind of spirit and fight, the earlier Alfred will begin to win its share of the con- tests.
The game Friday was an exhibition of real football, and fight to the finish.
The breaks came as they do in all games and the Purple took them and won. Incidentally it was the first football contest that Alfred has won on its home ground in three years.
It would be great to see the Frosh
";ive more similar exhibitions on the local field this year, but the season closes Saturday. Give the fellows plenty of support and help to say that Alfred can win a football game from Rochester.
KLAN ALPINE BEGINS SOCIAL ACTIVITIES WITH THEATRE PARTY
Klan Alpine opened its social ac- tivities last Saturday night with a theater party and dinner dance, at the ahattuck theater and the Sher- wood Hotel. Its success was heartily acclaimed by all those present.
Among the alumni back for the oc- casion were Harold McGraw '27, and Hascal DuBois '24.
The guests were Mother King, Mrs.
Drummond, and Professor and Mrs.
Rice.
Pres White's popular orchestra furnished the music.
FROSH WIN SECOND
FOOTBALL VICTORY

In the opinion of many the Frosli cannot be given too much credit for their victory, as Hobart presented a lineup with a supposed edge over the Alfred yearlings. This is the first time the Frosh have been able to pre- sent their full strength clue to in- juries sustaied by team members in earlier games, although Henning, the regular end, was out of the game he- cause of hurts received at Mansfield two weeks ago.
The Frosh will put in an intensive week of training in preparation for their encounter with the strong year- ling aggregation at the University of Rochester next Saturday.

Ladd with an injured leg, dropped back from the front to seventh po- sition. This left Captain Boulton well ahead of the field, Coe, Zschieg- ner, May, Voorhies and Rockefeller following their leader well-bunched.
A.t the three-mile mark, and at the beginning of the down-grade, Voorhies increased his pace and set out to catch Capt. Boulton. May, Zschiegner Coe, Rockefeller, and Ladd followed in that order until near Merrill field where the team began to bunch to- gether.
Capt. Boulton and Voorheis breasted the tape to tie for first place. They ran the five and one-half mile course in the comparatively slow time of 32:20 seconds. Soon after May, Zschiegner, Ladd, Coe, and Rocke- feller crossed the finish line to tie for second positions, thus to place seven men before Captain Griffith of Ho- bart, who followed at some distance.
