Chaplain McLeod came to Alfred in the fall of 1929 as first chaplain of the University, served as University Pastor, advisor for Kappa Nu fratern- ity, the Newman Club, and as coun- selor for the AUCA and the YMCA.
He resigned last year as coach of the varsity, freshman and Ag school cross country teams after serving as harrier mentor for ten years.

As an undergraduate he was active in the Glee Club, the YMCA; he edited the freshman hand- book, and was president of the Stu- dent Council on Religious Activities.
He gave some time to dramatics and athletics. Mr. Genne has had wide experience in young people's camp ac- tivities as teacher, counselor, and di- rector.
He has attended many youth con- ferences, including the Christian Youth Council of North America, Toronto, 1934, and the Canadian Youth Parliaments, Toronto, 1929 and 1930, being a fraternal delegate represent- ing the United States. In 1932 he was at the World's Christian Council meeting in Rio de Janiero, Brazil.
Since 1936 the new Chaplain has been Director of Men Students for the People's Church, and Secretary of the YMCA of Michigan State College, East Lansing. This cooperative en- terprise is under the Board of Con- trol of Student Work of that church which is sponsored by the national education boards of the Baptist, Con- gregationalist, Methodist, and Presby- terian denominations. With his other duties he has taught three credit courses in Religious on the campus.
In connection with his activities at Michigan State he attended the Pres- byterian University Pastors' Confer- ence at Western College (1938), and in 1939 was present at the World Council of Christian Youth meeting at Amsterdam, Holland.

Frosh News Hawks Urged to Attend First Fiat Meet
Freshmen who are interested in any angle of journalistic work are urged to attend the first regular meeting of The Fiat Lux to be held Tuesday evening at 7:15 o'clock in the Fiat Office in Bur- dick Hall.
Flying Course Planned
A crop of fledgling pilots for Uncle Sam's national defense pro- gram will shortly begin to be turn- ed out of the New York State School of Agriculture, it was re- vealed this week by Director Paul B. Orvis.
The State School received permis- sion from the Civil Aeronautics Authority's divisional headquarters Roosevelt Field, L. I., to organize a civilian pilot training course here.
Students from both the State School and the adjoining University will be able to enroll.
Limited training facilities1, however, will limit the number of trainees to twenty for the present, until ad- ditional equipment is acquired.
Although details of the course are meagre, Director Orvis stated that ground and mechanical phases of the course would be taught on the campus but that the students would drive to nearby Hornell Airport for the flying instructions.
Instructor W. B. Harrison of the school's department of electricity will be in charge at the school, while air- port officials will handle that end of the course. An additional instructor is to be procured by the airport. An order for another airplane has also been placed.
An extra-curricular course, credit will not be given the students toward their degree if they are University students.
Action may be taken by University officials correcting that condition in the near future, it was stated.
Authorization for the course came from J. P. Morris, divisional CAA chairman, Roosevelt Field.

PAGE TWO THE FIAT LUX, ALFRED, N. Y. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1940
^Democracy on trial' says president
I AM GLAD to extend through The Fiat Lux my welcome and good wishes to all connects with Alfred University in all its colleges anc!
schools as it begins its one hundred and fifth - year of educational service.
Last fall our year began in the midst of a world recently plunged into war; this year we open .with a world depressed by the tragedies and horrors and losses of recent months. The war is now affecting our own country in the sense that we are spending billions to provide adequate defense and are conscripting young men for training for military eventualities. We live in a world terribly upset and with bitterly conflicting ideologies and practices. May the bloodshed and horror never come "near our dwelling". Naturally, we are all defense con- scious; we can be thinking of the different ways in which we may prove useful to the State and Nation in these critical days whether we actual- ly get into military operations or not. Ameri- can democracy and all democracy is on trial.
But to return to our campus and the pur- pose of this brief letter, I welcome the members of the administrative group and the faculties, old and new, and wish them all successful and fruitful effort as we pursue the academic and business activities of the new year. I welcome the students, frestmen and other classmen com- ing to us for the first time, and those returning to their familiar haunts, and wish them all a busy, friendly, skill-evoking, soul-expanding year. I bespeak for all our students the joy ac- companying honest, successful scholastic effort and the wholesome activities of our extra-cur- ricular life on the campus. I covet for our ath- letes, for the officers, leaders and members of all our varied student organizations and enter- prises a year of honestly earned success.
I welcome to the tasks of a new year the members of the office staffs, the workers respon- sible for the efficient operation of the Univer- sity plant, those who care for the health, com- fort, and good order of our students in dormi- tories and rooming houses, in short, all on whom in any way rests a responsibility for the smooth functioning of Alfred University in its widest sense.
May we all determine that this shall be the best year in the history of this old institution of which we are all a part.

It was a man-sized job;
but he was man for it
BELOVED BY STUDENTS, faculty and towns- people alike was Curtiss F. Randolph, treasurer- emeritus, who passed away after a brief illness during the summer months, just a half a year after his retirement from the cares and worries of the man-sized job of running a University's finances.
It was a man-sized job, the position he had held for twenty-eight years—but he was just the man for the job. No one could dispute that point; no one wanted to.
During his reign as University Treasurer he saw the school grow, spread out, take in more and more students year after year.
One can well imagine that he grew, his life was enriched year after year as he saw the passing parade of young women and young men; as he saw HIS University thrive and prosper.
It will be a warm memory that students of Alfred University will have of Treasurer Ran- dolph in the years to come.

T ilked into the Collegiate. Someone, ing of the Old Alfred wasn't to be found.
. .: dawned. The chaplain was missing.
Chaplain James C. McLeod resigned this summer, accepted a post at Ohio State Univer- sity. After eleven years, The Caplain was fov- ing on to a well-deserved better post.
The campus will miss Chaplain McLeod.
The Fiat Lux will miss Chaplain McLeod. "We perhaps never always saw things from the same side as the Chaplain but we were always sure of a thought-provoking discussion from his corner.
We liked it; we liked to feel that HE liked it. Perhaps it was the angle of Voltaire's famed statement.
At any rate, Good Luck, Chaplain—.

AU prepares to do it's part in defense
AS THE WHEELS OF INDUSTRY start to roll, as America's manpower is put to work on the job of national defense, colleges and uni- versities throughout the nation prepare to do their bit.
Alfred University, along with the rising tide, is preparing to turn its resources into foundations for national defense. A Civil Aeronautics Authority station is planned to teach the fundamentals of flying to those who want to learn. The physical training depart- ment has offered its equipment and staff for the use of the government.
Thus, we in Alfred shall do our part in the great job that lies before our nation. Along with business and men in all walks of life, we shall do our part towards making America im- preggiAfele.—G. H.

Welcome to AU, Class of '44
College TOWN -
BY THE EDITORS
• IT'S A SMALLER EDITION, but it's still the pre- tender to the job of Alfred football team's mascot, va- cated last June by Traffic Jam, the whippet-greyhound that wasn't afraid—until it saw its1 own shadow.
It's Bernie Horowitz's pup—Rochester—that we're talking about.
Bernie came back to school with the pup and the o 1 d, occasionally-faithful, inner-tube-patch-supported roadster.
The dog's cute, has plenty of spunk and is all set to take over the job of Mascot for the Football Boys. Did we say spunk? That's right.
The other evening he didn't like it on the main street, so he chased kola Kipp's motorcycle smack out of town. Almost beat it in fact.
Traffic Jam probably won't be back to school this fall. Butch Eschbach, it's owner, was leaving town, last June, Frank Sexton had a set of golf clubs, Butch didn't know what to do with Traffic, Frank liked Traf- fic, Butch liked the golf clubs and—well, the two got together. Get the idea? Now Butch is playing golf with his own clubs.
Last report on Traffic was that he was in fine shape, was running around down at White Plains.
Happy go lucky mutt, that one.

#ARE YO'LL for the Deep Deep South?
No—I'm a Pi Alpha.
That's the quip that's going around the campus this week as students, new to the campus, look over the new, improved Pi Alpha building up on Sorority Row.
Remodelel extensively during the summer months, the new building can house more girls than before, even has pillars on it's front-side entrance.
Did you say Mount Vernon?

• "WE'RE GOOD FOOTBALL PLAYERS; we chew Dubble-Bubble gum— so watch out."
Such was the meaning wrung from a recent letter received by Coach Alex Yunevich. We gathered that it was, at least, from the story told us by the golfing- football coach between his convulsions of laughter as he read the letter to us.
It seems this is what happened:
Yunevich received a letter from the Fleer Corpo- ration down Philadelphia way; it was from the com- pany's Sales Manager. •
He was selling something—it was gum.
No ordinary gum, this. No indeedy.
This gum was different; it was a "tough, chewy gum with lots of comeback and fight!"
Just the thing for football players, we thought.
Maybe if we'd had Dubble-Bubble last year, Clark- son and St. Lawrence wouldn't ihave been so lucky.
Maybe we went into those games ill-equipped. We didn't have Dubble-Bubble, remember.
It's going to be a different story this year—we'll have Dubble-Bubble.
We say that, you understand, because Bill Hunt, (he's the generous Sales-Manager—) offered to send us gum enough for the squad.
We wonder what Butch Eschbach—he of Mail Pouch—will think of the boys this year—?
Chewing GUM—Sissies!

Line Shaping Up, Varsity Looks to Cortland Game
Miner Arrives, Adds to Line's Strength; Army Calls First Center
Powerful, fast but inexperienced and small in numbers—that's a brief description of the University's football team as it is shaping up in twice daily pre-season drills down on the Terra Cotta field.
Here since September 3, the now-thirty nian squad has been lending itself to the hands of Coach Alex Yunevich and Assistant Coach Dan Minnick and now is beginning to shape into the crack eleven that its predecessors have been.
They have a week and a half until their opener—that being against Cort- land Normal under the lights at Mer- rill Field on Saturday evening, Sep- tember 28.
That game will be the first of a tough, heavy seven-game season for the Purple and Gold Saxons. After Cortland comes St. Lawrence Uni- versity here October 5; Hofstra here October 12; and University of Buf- falo here for a Homecoming Night game October 19. Then the teams start traveling. They go to Brooklyn October 26, to play Brooklyn College;
to Potsdam for Clarkson. on November 2; and to Oneonta, November 9, when they will close their season against Hartwick College.
Miner In Town
Arrival in town last week-end of veteran guard Reggie Miner did away with one of the most serious prob- lems that have been harassing Yune- vich these past two and a half weeks.
The line, a comtpletly rebuilt one from last year's, has been weak in the center, has needed a fast, ex- perience running guard. Miner ans- wers that description.
But as Miner came in, the Army also came in and took one of the squad away for a year's service in the Army down at the West Indies.
Center Gordon Weaver of Olean re- ceived notice last Friday to report to National Guard headquarters in Olean, was mustered into active army ser- vice yesterday. A member of the Na- tional Guards, 174th Infantry, 44th division, Weaver had been playing varsity center during the pre-season drills until he was called.
When practice began, Yunevich was in a quandary. He had one of the best—if not The best backfield in the school's history—but no line to put in front of it. He lost the Seven Senior line last June.
Drawing upon sophomore and un- used material of past year's, Yunevich has, however, put together seven men who may well serve the purpose.
Weak spot was the center of the line. After the guard combination of Rouff and Callista, for the past three years, Yunevich needed good men to replace them.
Looming as first string material on the line are Bob Jolley, Stan Gutheinz, Win Repert and Bernie Horowitz, ends; Mike Greene, Jerry Schwartz and Ted DiLaura as tackles;
Reggie Miner, Harry Meyer, Ed Gehrke, Bill Hurley as guards and George Ploetz, and Mel Perialis as centers.
Backfield Set
The backfield is set—Walter (Bo) Johnson is back for his senior year, set to try for new laurels in high- scoring and passing while Sophomore Frank Trigilio will take over the right wing post. Fullback is Frank (Duke) Dutkowski. Ed Chrzan and Johnny Eggleton are expected to al- ternate in the blocking back assign- ment.
Lost to the backfield this year is Mike Greene, 215 pound blocking back last year. When he arrived last week, realizing the weakness of the line and team player that he is, Greene readily agreed to move into the line, giving up backfield laurels.
Now he's teamed with Schwartz, another 215 pounder, and they're all set to make history as tackles.
Spicer, Weaver Granted Leaves
Partial leave of absence for the coming school year has been granted John Reed Spicer, assistant professor of English. Director of Freshman English and Counselor to Prospective Students it was announced today by the President's Office.
Mr. Spicer will pursue graduate studies at Columbia University.
No replacement has been made for Mr. Spicer. His present plans include several trips here during the school year to keep in touch with his de- partment's work. He will return dur- ing the summer months of 1941.
Also granted a leave for this year was David W. Weaver of the De- partment of Chemistry. He will do graduate work at George Washington University.
Frosh to See What Makes Grid Squad Go
Explanation of the system used by the Alfred University football team will be explained and demonstrated for Freshmen at a team demonstra- tion Thursday afternoon at four forty-five o'clock.
Coach Alex Yunevich will send his vairsity squad through their paces, describing and pointing out the parts that mawe his teams click. The demonstration is slated' for Merrill Field. In case of inclement weather, the show will be moved inside to the gymnasium. • .
Blocks, deceptive plays from the system and other mechanics of the
"Yunevich system," a variation of the Rockne system, will all be explained.
Upperclassmen, faculty members and the public are also invited to attend.

Treasurer-Emeritus Passes Away Half Year After Retiring
Curtis F. Randolph, for twenty- eight years treasurer of Alfred Univer- sity, passed away last June 30th, ex- actly one-half year after retiring from his office on Dec. 31, 1939.
He was born January 16, 1873, in Greenbrier, W. Va. His first occupa- tion was that of a carriage painter;
he began his career as an accountant in 1886, until in 1911 he became Treasurer, and later also business manager of Alfred University.
Mr. Randolph was well-liked: and very much appreciated in his ca- pacity by students and 'Colleagues alike. In 1936 the "Kanakadea" was dedicated to him and at the 1939 com- mencement the honorary degree of Master of Business Administration was conferred upon him by Alfred University.

Work, Share Alike Is Lot Of Girls In Coop House
Housing ten to twelve girls, Alfred's new Greene Hall located at 123 North Main Street is in keeping with the recent trend on American university campuses toward cooperative living.
Deriving its name from the owners, Green Hall has been established to provide group living for those girls on the campus who do not live in the dormitory or any of the sororities.
Mrs. Dora K. Degen, Dean of Wo- men, has for some time considered the many advantages of such a pro- ject and her plan finally took active form about two weeks ago when final arrangements for the house were completed.
To Share Expenses
The girls who live in Green Hall will share the work and expense con- nected with the maintenance of the house. Mrs. Percy Burdick of Alfred will be in charge.
The work, which will include the cooking and cleaning, will be care- fully laid out so that no one girl will have to spend too much time doing her share. The various duties will be exchanged every week.
The house owned by Leon Greene of the Federal Housing Bureau in Washington, D. C, was recently used by two faculty families. Two living rooms, an open fireplace and a piano make the house especially attractive to the girls.
Shortly after school opens, the resi- dents of Green Hall will hold a house election to choose their officers for the year and to elect their representa- tive to the Women's Student Govern- ment.
The house which is not open to Freshmen women brings together the girls who have in the past lived in various homes in the village.
Under this arrangement, the girls will be living with other college stu- dents.
CARILLON CONCERT
Carillon concerts are scheduled for Thursday morning at ten forty-five to eleven o'clock directly after assembly.

Good Reception Given AU Exhibit
This year as last year the New York State College of Ceramics exhibited at the New York World's Fair.
The exhibit was very successful and attracted large audiences. Carl Wadowka '41 was there until Septem- ber 1, when he was succeeded by Thelma House '39.
Besides the pottery throwing the other activities of the College of Cer- amics were shown. Much interest was aroused concerning the Univer- sity as a whole.
'MoneyBack' Offer Made Draftees
Considering the stand of Presi- dent Roosevelt and the American Council on Education on the ques- tion of draft and national defense, President J. Nelson Norwood re- cently urged present and pros- pective men students of Alfred in a form letter sent them to con- tinue their college courses if they had already started or to matricu- late this month if they were Freshmen.
President Norwood pointed out that to those students who may be called1
for the draft, Alfred University promised to refund the unused pro- portionate part of all tuition, fees, room and board.
When "and if draftees desire, after their period of training, to complete their college courses at Alfred, they may enter at the beginning of any semester and continue their programs.
In such an event they may have the benefit of reviewing the work pre- viously covered but will be charged tuition and' fees only equivalent to what was refunded to them when they left to enter training.
President Norwood also mentioned the fact that by action of the Board of Trustees last June the entire plant and facilities of the University were placed at the disposal of the State andi Federal Governments.
Students may be assured that the University will cooperate to the fullest extent with the constituted authorities1
in regard to national defense when- ever their desires are made known to it.
