MANSFIELD DEFEATS VARSITY 7-3

Loosely Played Game

In a featureles and loosely played I frame on a moist field, Alfred went' down to a 7-3 defeat at the hands of the ball tossers of Mansfield Normal, at Mansfield last Wednesday after- noon. Little need be said about the game. It was a loose affair at its best, and was characterized by many errors of both players and umpire.

King pitched good ball throughout the contest, allowing but seven hits, and four of those being of the scratch variety, but poor support wa,s ac- corded him, and seven runs were allowed to drift across the plate.

GUILD FOLLIES An Evening of Impersonations

One of the most unique entertainments ever staged in Alfred was presented by the Ceramic Guild last Monday evening. The several num- bers on the program kept the large and appreciative audience laughing from the first entrance of our re- modeled Glee Club till the farewell song of the Guild girls, dressed so we might recognize them. During the evening most of the familiar places and faces of our village were copied, those portraying the business section, the movies, our library "steady hour,"

and the French and Ceramic classes lieing especially realistic.

After the performance a dance was held until 11:30. The music was furnished by Kenyon and Volk.

STUDENT SENATE

The regular meeting called May 10th. As there was nio business the meeting was adjourned.

BUFFALO ALUMNI HOLD BANQUET

Alumni and friends of Alfred, to the number of twenty-five, gathered at the Central Y. M. C. A. in Buffalo last Saturday evening, May 8, and participated in an enjoyable banquet.

After an excellent menu had been served, Prin. J. F. Whitford, president of the Buffalo Alumni Club, called on the various speakers with well-chosen introductory remarks. The toast list follows:

Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot Guests Ye Alfred of the '80's

Mr. Loveland Alfred, Ye Teacher Factory Mr. Pierce Ye Ladies Hall Miss Bliss Ye Athletes of Yore Mr. Gibbs Ye Vocal Solo Mrs. Whitford Accompanied by Miss Wells Ye Small College, Its Function

Mr. Moot Ye War Heroes of Our Alma Mater

Miss Nora Binns Ye Future of Alfred Dean Kenyon and Dr. P. E. Titsworth Ye Alma Mater Song

Led by Mrs. Taber Mr. Moot, Dean Kenyon and Dr.

Titsworth all paid tribute to President Davis and his invaluable work, and they expressed sentiments which found an echo in every listener's heart. A special feature of the program was a song composed by Miss Edna Bliss for the occasion:

Alfred-Buffalo Tune, "Auld Lang Syne"

As ancient Greeks their homage paid i To Wisdom every year,

So we Her summons have obeyed And gladly gathered here.

Chorus

O Alma Mater, hear oiw praise, We loyal children are.

Our salutation now we raise To thee, our guiding star.

We are the Clan of Buffalo, We guard the northern line.

Though we are small we're bound to grow

For Alfred is our sign.

Chorus

Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows:

President, Elmer Pierce

Secretary, Mrs. Edna Horton Willett Treasurer, Mrs. L. C. Boyce

Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. J.

F. Whitford, Senator and Mrs. Gibbs, Hon. Adelbert Moot. Dean and Mrs.

Kenyon, Dr. and Mrs. Titsworth, Dr.

and Mrs. Taber, Mr. Pierce, Mr. and Mrs. Harold B. Milward, Miss Edna Bliss, Miss Ethel Barnhart, Miss Dora Donegan, Mrs. Lena Fink Wasson, Mr.

and Mrs. H. B. Loveland, Miss Wells, Mrs. Howard Langworthy, Mrs. Edna Horton Willett, Miss Norah Binns.

The sale of liquors in the colleges at Oxford to students has been free from revenue • and magisterial control for many generations. A like freedom has been enjoyed at Cambridge. Such freedom of control probably arose out of the ancient privileges of the universities.

20th CENTURY MEDAL GOES TO LOBAUGH

Coffin '22 Next Fiat Manager „

The Assembly period last Wednes- day was given over to Pres. Clark for the annual Student elections of officers, for the coming year. Ballots for the Senate elections were passed out at the door. The student body missed by a margin of one, of repeating their action of last year by choosing a S e n - ate composed entirely of fellows. The Senior members of the governing body next year will be: Eloise Clarke, B. C.

Davis, Jr., Frobisher Lyttle; the Junior members will be Oliver Ferry and Alfred Whitford. The President will be chosen from the Senior members by the combined Senates, the new and old.

The medal which is offered anually by the 20th Century Club to the person, who in the estimation of the students has done the most for Alfred, was awarded to Frank E. Lobaugh.

Mr. Lobaugh came to us from the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh and entered in the Sophomore class. He has been a leader in the sports of the University since his entrance, playing on the Varsity football team while here and loyally upholding the position of Cap- tain during the past season. He has been the star of the basketball court, holding down with merit his place as captain for two different years. But aside from his athletic ability he has been a true sportsman in his spirit and In his station as president of the Ath- letic Council, he endeavored to place the question of inter-collegiate sports and athletic management above the realm of argument.

The Constitutional Amendments which were read in Assembly the week before were both passed. The main difference in these changes comes through the fact that hereafter the president of the Senate will not assume charge of the Athletic mass-meetings.

Following the awarding of the Loyalty Medal, the new Constitution of the Athletic Association was presented to the students to be thought over and come up for a vote this week. In as much as the old Constitution was inadequate to the times and had so many chances for imperfections, it was thought best to draft an entirely new set of laws. The new Constitution, noting the principle changes, is published in this issue.

Elections were then in order for the appointing of the next business manager for the Fiat Lux. Coffin, who has been a very capable assistant during the better part of this year, was elected to the position, and it was voted that his election be noted unanimous. To act as Assistant, Charles Lake '23, was chosen, his election also being unanimous.

ETA PHI HOLDS ANNUAL BANQUET

Old Custom Revived

Not since the spring of 1915. has the Eta Phi Gamma fraternity en- dulged in the affair of an annual banquet. In the spring of '17, when the old K. K. and the former frat were combined in their eforts to maintain existence through the period of strife, a dinner party and dance was enjoyed at the Chapter House, but could hardly be called a banquet. And it seemed, as if the harnessed enthusiasm which has been accumulating for the past five years, suddenly came to the sur- face and expressed itself in the royal affair held in Firemens Hall last Thursday night.

The decorations presented another new idea in the line of adding gaiety—

the walls being draped with streamers which led to the center, forming a huge bell-like effect of blue and gold.

The table decorations consisted of bunches of sweet peas.

Promptly at seven the members and guests assembled in the banquet hall where the following menu was enjoyed :

Fruit Cocktail Creme Tomato Soup Pickles Olives

Chicken Pates Browned Potato Patties Rolls French Peas

French Fruit Salad—Mayonnaise Nut Bread Sandwiches Brick Cream a la Eta Phi

Chocolate Loaf Cake Demi-tasse

Much credit is due to Willis Ed- wards, an old Eta Phi man for the accommodation of the banquet.

Following this were short toasts, under the leadership of Adolph Vos- sler. George Stearns opened the programs, representing the Freshmen, and told us something of his apprehensions as a young Alfrdedian. This was followed by Clair Peck, speaking for the Sophomores and the House spirit, and George Ford, taking the Juniors' side.

The main toast of the evening came from Prof. W. A. Titsworth, who fanned the flaming spirits by telling us that the person who wants a thing bad enough usually gets it. We get out of a thing just what we put into it and from his knowledge of Physics, we feel that he gets his just right to say this through the law of indestruct- ability. His talk was very enjoyable and inspired us to seek harder for the I greater things.

Dancing started promptly at nine o'clock, the inspiration being furnished by Rice-Ballou and easily was the best heard in Alfred for sometime. The last well known strains of "Sweet Home" floated out with the merry- makers, who left the Hall in drooping glory.

The Interscholastic Field and Track Meet to be held tomorrow promises to be the largest and best meet in history.

Owing to the large number of schools entered, Manager Harrington was com- pelled to reject the entries of five schrools that were sent in late. There are still twenty-one schools entered.

The large number of entries gives promise of many high scores and broken records, Haverling High School is sending a man, who broke the Cor- nell Interscholastic record for the pole vault, at their meet two weeks ago.

The Technical High School of Buffalo is sending a strong team again this year. Hornell High School is also sending one of the best teams that it has had in years.

The high schools entered are: Alfred High School, Lafayette High School, Technical High School, Corning Free Academy, Belmont High School, Ham- mondsport High School, Jamestown High School, Celoron High School, Haverling High School, Dansville High School, Silver Creek High School, Honeoye Falls High School, Little Val- ley High School, Salamanca High School, Hornell High School, Canisteo Free Academy, Griffiths Institute, Bradford High School, North Tona- wanda High School, Tonawanda High School, Batavia High School, Attica High School, Addison High School, Castile High School.

The Girls' Speaking contest is to be held in the church tonight and the Boys' contest will be held tomorrow night. There is a large number of contestants entered in each of these contests.

JUNIOR PLAY CANCELLED Delay Costly to '21 Class The annual Junior play which is one of the main dramatic presentations of the College calendar, is to be omitted this year. In the early spi'ing a committee was appointed for the purpose of selecting a suitable play.

Several times a verdict was sub- mitted, but promptly downed on account of the lack of a large number of female characters, the class being sparse and weakly talented of male members. About two weeks ago an English symbolic play, "The Passing of the Third Floor Back" was decided on and the cast was chosen. Prof. P.

E. Titsworth had been secured to coach the play, but a short time later he realized that three weeks were an inadequate time for the preparation of such a heavy piece of theatricals, and subsequently announced his idea as such. The play will not therefore be presented, although it is hoped that it may be replaced by something along the same line at an early date next .year.

A new stadium, seating 60,000, on the same style as those at Yale and Harvard, is to be built this summer at the University of Washington. It is expected that it will be ready for the inter-sectional game with Dartmouth, on October 25.

GYMNASIUM DEMONSTRATION

A gymnasium demonstration was given by the students of the Alfred High School and Grades, under the di- rection of Miss Ethel Danielson, Di- rector of Physical Education, in the Academy, Thursday, May 6, 1920.

The program was excellent and was enjoyed by a large audience of towns- people and students.

Costumes added much to the gen- eral effect, especially in the Skater's Dance, Indian War Dance, Dutch Dance, and Flower Waltz. The games brought much chering and excitement.

The aptness and general training of the pupils, as proven by the demon- stration, reflects very creditably on the competence of Miss Danielson, as a physical training director.

Y. W. C. A.

For over a week the Sophomore girls had been ransacking the library for material on their topic—"Hymns," to be presented at the regular Sunday night meting.

Each of the Sophomore girls had some part in the meeting; papers were read on the origin of several of the best known hymns; talks on the pur- pose of hymns in general were given;

! and poems bearing on the subject I were read.

Altogether the discussion showed

; splendid preparation and it was en- joyed by all present.

Y. M. C. A.

A few members of the Y. M. gathered at the Gothic last Sunday evening and discussed business matters. All agreed that everything possible should be done to put the Association on a sound financial basis before the end of the year. The discussion of the "Negro Problem," which Chief Witter was to lead, was postponed two weeks. Next week Vossler will speak on the "Rural Problem."

GREEK PLAY TO BE PRESENTED

The date and place for Alfred's Greek Play, The Hippolytus of Euri pides, have been fixed tentatively for Wednesday evening the 26th of. May, at 8:15, in front of Kenyon Hall, but should weather conditions make this date unsuitable for an outdoor pro- duction, the play will go on the fol- lowing evening, Thursday the 27th at 8:15.

The producers have lavished con- siderable labor and skill on this novel venture and all indications point to an exceptionally fine and impressive ren- dition of the great Greek masterpiece.

Some of the features which will make the production remembered are the harmonious and tasteful costuming, specially written music, and the light- ing effects; all these details will con- tribute toward a successful play. It should be remembered that this is not a pageant, but a real drama with rapid action, tense situations, character por- trayal, and a plot which though con- ceived and dramatized over 2000 years ago is as vital and compelling as any modern drama. The miracle of this play's power to hold an audience now as it has done for centuries lies in its universal appeal to the highest emo- tions and the author's master knowl- edge of his fellowman. It is to be hoped that Alfred will take this oppor- tunity of seeing a good Greek play well staged and well acted. The admis- sion will be 25 cents and will be pay- able only on the evening of the play.

CHORUS PRESENTS

"CREATION"

The University Chorus, consisting of more than fifty voices of students and townspeople presented "The Creation,"

an oratorio by Hadyn, on Wednesday evening, May 12. The chorus was directed by Ray W. Wingate of the Music Department, ably asisted by the leading soloists of Alfred and the Al- fred Augmented Orchestra. "The Creation" was by far one of the best of musical entertainments ever presented before an Alfred audience.

"The Creation" as the word implies is a brief history in music of the creation of the world from the period in which there was nothing but darkness and water to the time of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. It is one of Hadyn's masterpieces and was well-produced by the chorus. Solos, trios, duets, and quartets were some of the features of the production.

The leading parts were taken by Miss Florence B. Bowden, Miss Zaneta Dibble, Mrs. Leona P. Jones, Miss Ruth Phillips, Mrs. Ramon Reynolds, Mrs.

Hazel S. Truman, Prof. Charles F.

Binns, Harry M. Eaton, Henry E.

Pieters, Prof. F. S. Place, Prof. Ray W. Wingate, Miss Florence R. Kelly, the accompanist.

Tomorrow we are to play the part of host and hostess to the large number of visitors that will be in Alfred for the Track Meet. Each of us must remember and do our best. We must represent the best spirit and courtesy in our college life. We must wel- come everyone and make them feel glad that they came. Let us give them the preference at the meet, the speaking contests and at the dance.

The Track Meet is not promoted as a money making venture, nor is it promoted so that the high school athlete may make records but it is planed as our sub-Frosh day. Remember that Manager Harrington has worked hard to make the meet a success and we must help him make it so.

DEMOTT NOT A BOLSHEVIK The following concerning the death in Germany of Paul DeMott, a recent Alfred student, is taken from the Pat- terson, N. J., Evening News of May 4th:

Convincing evidence that Paul R.

DeMott, the local boy who died from a shot fired by a German sentry at Essen, several weeks ago, was not con- nected with the Soviet party or with the Russian Reds is contained in clip- pings sent to Wilbur DeMott, his father, by Percival H. Winner, a for- eign correspondent. Instead of losing his life as a result of anti-government activities, developments show that De- Mott was the victim of a brutal mur- der.

THE VOICE OF A STUDENT

Our country is facing a great crisis, a crisis which'is being increased in its intensity from day to day, in times of peace and especially in times of war.

The essence of this crisis is " Will the United States remain on the feet the warriors of the Revolution and the framers of our Constitution have placed them on, or will they be swept off these feet and give way to the radicalism in in the social unrest ? "

As new classes and races of people are being added to the population of the country, and as foreigners are not being Americanized, there is a tendency

THB TAYLOR STUDIO Hornell, N. Y.

to give rise to new social, political and industrial problems and to put to a head the old problems. If these old problems are not solved and if no proper means are employed to put a check to the new problems, then, evidently, we see that the traditional foundation of the United States will be shattered. This will be followed by the destruction of the existence the Fathers of the Constitution designed for us. An existence which is the light an.d advancement of civilization itself.

in these awful days of social unrest, the country, I firmly believe, is stabl- ized by the rural communities, which are, or are supposed to be, American to the very core. Again, I am sure that had it not been for these communities we would now be living in a disastrously altered country.

When the President of the Y. M. C.

A. asxed me to be on the program committee, I thought it wise to have brought up such topics as will acquaint the students with the most pressing modern social problems. These are the primary problems which if left unsolved or allowed to be intensified will bring upon us an existence which will deprive us of liberty, justice and the right to the pursuit of happiness.

Despite the importance of these problems, the male element of the student body, with the exception of a very few, neglects to attend their discussion at the Y. M. meetings. So far the average attendance has neet exceed ten and even that number is on the verge of being diminished. If the nation is correct in contending that the solution of these problems depend on the college men, is it not unfair for the college men to shirk this duty ? Some fellows of our college say that in these spring days they cannot be expected to be " cooped in " even for the sake of learning something of the dangers con- fronting their country. Does it not pay handsomely to be "cooped i n "

for just one hour in the week for one's own country ?

The American people are too opti- mistic. They let the future take care of itself once too often. I can see that the only time the future can be left to take care of itself is when we do the right thing in the present. If my view is taken, then it is essential for the boys to take advantage of the opportunity the Y. M. offers them every Sunday evening, to become acquainted with the pressing social problems for their sake and for the sake of our country. There is no sense in conduct- ing these Y. M. discussions for ten students, since out of at least one hundred attenders there may be one who, when he goes out into the world, will maintain his interest deep enough in these problems to cause him to devote his time to their solution or amelioration. This is not required of all those who should attend, for so long as one is acquainted with what goes on about him, so long will there be less chance to make conditions worse than they are.

Even though we are not experts on these problems, yet our free discussions of them, enables us to formulate crystallized ideas as to their signifi- cance. The essence of patriotism is love and devotion to country. As the fellows in our college are true Ameri- cans, they should see that the gun and canon are not the only ways by which this great sentiment is to be expressed.

The pressing problems of the day must be solved, the sooner the better. It is necessary for us to become familiarized with them in order to see what is in the path of our country. The Y. M. is doing its utmost to promote this familiarization, but the boys da not feel inclined to give up one hour in the week to its consummation, for they feel it too burdensome to leave " h a v - ing a good t i m e " alone for so long.

This attitude is not fair to their be- loved ones at home, to their country and Alma Mater, and to themselves.

Think it over.
