Harriman Speaks Founders' Day As AU Marks Its Charter Ceatennial
The Founders' Day celebration this year marks the beginning of a second century of higher education a t Alfred University.
Today, more ¡than 1100 students are matriculated in the various schools and colleges comprising the University, including /the College of Liberal Arts, State University of New York College of Ceramics, School of Nursing, School of The- ology, Graduate School* and Sum- mer School.
One hundred years ago, Gover- nor John A. King of New York signed a bill which created Alfred University as a chartered institu- tion of higher education. Another New York governor, Averell Harri- man, is scheduled to deliver the convocational address Ithis year.
The Founders' Day celebration will be held Thursday at 11:00 a.
m., in the Men's Gym. Preceding the convocation will be an aca- demic procession with seniors and faculty appearing in cap and gown.
Established first as a pioneer se- lect school in 1836, Alfred receiv- ed its charter as a University 21 years later; its enrollment.had in- creased from 20 students, 'Who brought their own chairs to class in a one room building, to a cam-
pus of five buildings- and an enroll- ment in excess of 400 students.
The College of Liberal Arts was organized in the spring of 1857.
The catalog that year stressed three four-year courses; classical, sci- entific, and intermediate (for wo- men). Latin and Greek comprised the greater share of work for class- ical students, with some mathema- tics, surveying, geology, history and some science rounding out ¿he program. Seniors .branched out in- to the field of logic, astronomy, law economics, history, literature, and the study of Christianity.
No courses in classics were re- quired in the scientific curriculum, but they were available. Students here were primarily concerned with mathematics, sciences, social stu- dies, and natural theology. The la- dies program stressed the modern languages, including Italian, along with social sciences, and the hu- manities.
This, briefly, was the academic program with which Alfred Univer- sity began its career as an insti- tution of higher education.
Today, bachelor degrees are awarded for undergraduate study in liberal arts, ceramics, nursing .and theology. The Graduate School Is equipped to handle advanced study, leading to the Masters Degree in
such areas as education, English, history, psychology, sociology, ce- ramic engineering, glass technolo- gy and ceramic design. The Doctor of Philosophy degree is also avail- able in the field of ceramics.
Since 1949, the University phy- sical plant has undergone consid- erable change. Among the new buildings which have appeared on the campus in the past six years are a new central heating plant, service building, three dormitories, a social center, an addition to the facilities of , the college of ceram- ics, and the remodeling of a class- room building.
It is appropriate that Alfred is beginning its second century in 1957;- the. first year in the Uni- versity's history that two majof buildings have been completed with- in a twelve-month period: the new Herrick Memorial Library was ded- icated last year, and the new sci- ence building, Myers Hall, will be ready for use next month.
Future building plans call for the renovation of the old library build- ing to serve as an administrative building, and the renovation of Al- len Hall, now a chemistry building, for use by the department of bio- logy. New buildings on the plan- ning boaTd include a student un- ion, a health center and a chapel.

My Op
ers Science Hall en in a Few Weeks
by Barbara* Broudy
It will be but a matter of weeks smaller seminar before Myér Hall, the stately new
science building o n ' State Street, is completed. Dr. Samuel Scholes, Jr., chairman of the chemistry de- partment, who has proudly watch- ed the continual progress of the building from excavation to finish- ing touches, was kind enough to lead this Fiat reporter on a grand tour of Myer Hall from top to toe.
The three-storied structure will house the geology, nursing and chemistry departments, as well fis all other groups that can utilize its varied facilities. Probably all departments can find a use for the huge auditorium seating 204 stu- dents in its echeloned seating ar- rangement and serving as a pro- jection and demonstration room,
equipped with platform and spot lights.
Two laboratories, offices and lecture rooma are designed above all for practicality. 'Each large 'classroom is furnished with alum-
inum-bordered blackboards, flores- cent lights and tablet arm chairs.
The two general chemistry labs have adjacent balance rooms and
a service window that open into the supply rooms. The windowed- offices look out upon i the faculty laboratories, and close by are
r o o m s; dark rooms, research labs and a chem library for handbooks and recent journals. Recessed coat hooks, and decorative mint green tiles line
•the, spacious halls.
All Blood Donros Needed at Union
Perhaps, though, the most im- portant feature will be the elimin- ation of the scents that once were emitted • from Allen Lab. For,
throughout the building there is a ; permission
The Rochester Bloodmobile will be in Alfred for its fall visit at the Student Union tomorrow, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30' p.m.
The number of donors will be especially low this year because of illnesses, so a special effort on the part of students is necessary if the demand of the hospitals is to be met.
Students must be either oyer I twenty-one or must have written.

Miss Dorothy Baxter Miss Baxter had been reported missing since approximately 1:30 p.m Saturday, When she was re- portedly seen walking south along the Elm Valley Road which con-
nects the village of Alfred with Route 17 and Wellsville. Her dis- appearance was brought to the at- tention of Alfred and Hornell po- lice early Sunday morning after she failed to return to Kruson Dor- mitory. State Police later broadcast a general alarm for t h e attractive blond coed.
An intensive search throughout a 100 square mile area surrounding the campus and t h e village of Al- - fred was conducted Monday, under the direction of the Cadet Offi- cers of the Reserve Officers' Train- ing Corps at the University. More than 300 cadets took part in the search; Robert Myers, a Universi- ty student, lead a group of horse- back riders; and Glen Van Ingen and Roger Francisco, also AU stu- dents, manned a light aircraft,
Meanwhile, releases concerning the missing 19 year old ,were sent to newspapers and radio stations. It remained for a newspaper descrip- tion to prove most instrumental in finding her.
Mrs. Waiter Ward, who resides in Perry,i New York, took a look at- the newspaper description of the missing Alfred student and decided that the girl she had rented a room

Bernstein's Review to Appear In Next Issue of "The Nation"
Dr. Bernstein's literary review of the American readers.
"The Selected Writings of John Jay Chapman"' will appear in this week's edition of "The Nation." Jac- ques Barzun, Professor of History at Columbia, is the editor of this volume of selections 'from Chapman.
Barzun feels that Chapman was a critic of American society iwhose concern with ideas and their appli- cation in society did not interest
Dr. Bernstein, in his review, ad- mits that this is so but adds that the particular regulation urged by Chapman, namely religious and spiritual regulation, was the specif- ic suggestion that American readers rejected. This, according to Dr.
Bernstein, accounts in great part for Chapman's undeserved literary and popular obscurity.

Parents' Day Response Predicts Large Crowds
A monopoly on the post-office has been claimed by J. Milton Stull, as- sistant to the president.
Since last "»-uesday, hundreds of postcards have been pouring into Mr. Stull's office; all with one message "we are planning to come to Alfred October 26 for Par- ents' Day."

Although this issue of the FIAT is datelined Tuesday, It may not reach many sub- scribers until Wednesday. The editorial board wishes, to re- mind readers that this delay was necessary in order to present an up-to-date account of the .news.

Above, the Queep is surrounded by her court, each a company sponsor. From left to right: Pat O'Brien, Dorothy Baxter, Dorothy Ormsby, Miss Schmedes, Diana Graessle, Nancy Cash- Imere and Mary Cavanaugh.
The count to date is about 300 postcards. This will mean, if last year's figures hold true, that about 600 to 700 people are expected to' be on campus that weekend.
Because of the excellent re- sponse Mr. Stull received from the pa/rents and the large number an- ticipated, the special Parents' Day Luncheon will be served in the Men's Gym. The emphasis this year will) be- on informality. In this spirit, box lunches will be served to the parents.
It can be seen, by the response to the Parents' Day invitations, that the parents' interest is pres- ent. All that is needed now to make this second annual Parents' Day a success is the cooperation and interest on the part of the students
This year, the program has been extended and improved as a result of last year's experience. Whereas formal tours were an integral part of last year's program, this year each student is urged to show his or her parents ground the campus and to introduce them -to faculty members. All buildings will be open and this year there will be two new buildings to visit — the Her- rick Memorial) Library and Myers Hall, science building.
With the help and cooperation of the student body, this Parents' .Day can be a momentous, memor-
able occasion for the f a r e n t s ot Alfred University.

AU to Send Group to Syracuse For NY Mock Constitutional Convention
Alfred University will send a stu- dent delegation to Syracuse Uni- versity Thursday, October 31 and Friday, November 1, to participate in the New York State Constitu- tional Convention. T h e convention is to be sponsored by the Upstate New York Citizenship Clearing House.
T h i s Mock Constitutional Con- vention will meet before voters go to the polls in November to deter- mine the question: shall there be a convention to revise the consti- tution and amend the same? The reason for this mock convention is to enable college students to gain f i r s t hand live experience in state government. If voters answer y e s to the question in November, this mock convention will also provide a practical experience to those at- tending and to (those who inform
by Maxene Gorewitz themselves of the convention's ac- tivities.
About twenty upstate New York schools will participate in the mock convention. There will be commit- tees composed of three, four, and five colleges each.
I n the actual convention, 189 del- egates a r e elected—three from ach Senatorial district plus fifteen at- large delegates. Alfred has been al- lotted seven votes representation.
Since the convention delegation which would be elected in 1958, if the vote this November is yes, would hâve a slight Republican majority, the mock convention .will endeavor to have its delegates split accordingly. So, AU's seven votes
will be divided four Republican, three Democrat.
T h e mock convention will be di- vided into 5 subject matter commit- tees: 1. the simplification of the Constitution: 2. local government;
3. court system; 4. government of business; and 5. representation.
Alfred, Elmira, and Harper will be the members of the fifth com- mittee, on representation. T h i s committee will be concerned w i t h
.he apportioning of districts in t h e state and the problem of the bal- ance of power between up a n d downstate New York.
Besides the regular delegates, there will be lobbyists representing such groups as local government, labor, farm, 'professional people, and civic organizations. Alfred's lobbyists will represent the New York State CIO council.
T h e convention will consist of plenary and committee meetings and also frequent inter-action be- tween lobbyists and delegates.
The general coordinator of this mock convention is Dr. Sanford Gordo« of Oneonta State Teachers*
College.

its concert at t h e Alfred Univer- sity F o r u m on Ootober 27, holds the distinction of having been one of the youngest regular members of a symphony orchestra ev«r to perform in the United States—or anywhere else, for that matter.
When he iwas only twelve years old, he played violin in the Bangor, Maine, Symphony Orchestra, one of the six oldest orchestras in the country. It recently passed its half- century mark.
White was born in Bangor and attended secondary schools there.
He started his musi/cal training when he wars only eight year old.
Upon graduation from high school, he entered t h e New England Con- servatory of Music in Boston, where he was graduated with high- est honors, and taking special hon- ors in chamber music. H e was also concertmaster of the Conservatory orchestra. Among his noted teach-
position, and Felix Winternitz, in violin.
Then came three memorable years, 1918-21, in Cincinnati, w h e r e it was White's privilege to study and work with the immortal con- cert violinist and pedagogue, Eu- gene Ysaye, .then conductor of t h e Cincinnati Symphony and t e a c h e r "
of a master's-class in violin. W h i t e also played first violin in the Cin- cinnati Symphony.
In 1921, W h i t e returned to t h e New England Conservatory as a member of the faculty, and he re- mained therg until 1923, when h e was personally chosen by the late George E a s t m a n t6 come to Roch- ester in the dual role of faculty member in the E a s t m a n School of Music, then in its infancy, and con- ductor of the E a s t m a n T h e a t r e Orchestra, nucleus of t h e Roches- t e r Philharmonic.

In the realm of composing, White as perhaps best known for his
"'Five Miniatures" and "Sea Chan- ty." The former, recorded for RCA Victor by the Boston Pops Orchestra under Arthur Fiedler,
"has been played by every major orchestra in 'the United States, and t&s been performed only a little less frequently in Europe, South America, and Asia. "Sea Chanty,"
recorded by the Philadelphia Or- chestra for Columbia Records, has become almost as well known since it% was written by Dr. White on commission 'by Saul R. Rosenbaum, executive of the Philadelphia Or- chestra Association, for perform- ance by his wife, Edna Phillips, then solo harpist with that Orches- tra.
In addition to public appearance as conductor, White plays as .a member of the Kilbourn String Quartet and since 1939 has been musical director of the Lake Placid Club, where he has become known to thousands of Adirondack vaca- tionists for his conducting of an- other elite symphonic ensembles of IS players for a ten-week summer season.
His busy ' sohedule includes the chairmanship- of the orchestral de- partment of the Eastman Schobl, where, he is also teacher of advan- ced conducting. Among his stu- dents who have gone on to .leader- ship of large orchestras are Victor Allesandro, conductor of the San Antonio Symphony, and Richard Bales, who became conductor of the National Gallery Orchestra in Washington.

Smith Stresses Shape and Stamina;
New Coach Comes With Lion's Roar
"Basketball h a s got to be a re- ligion with you guys. You are go- ing to have to live it, breath it, eat it and drink it in order to play it well."
These were some of the words used by Coach Pete Smith as he formally met with his returning and prospective players for the first time several weeks ago.
Anyone who has met the newest addition to the Saxons coaching staff knows this isn't just so much talk. A remarkably exuberant man.
Smith seems bent on transferring the same fire to everyone he as sociates with.
Nor does the round-ball game alone seem sufficient to Jteep the new coach occupied. In addition to handling the basketball chores Smith is serving as tennis coach,
assistant line coach and scout to"
Alex Yunevich in football, and di- rector of intramural sports.
Coach Smith received, his ap- pointment late last semester after Jby McWllliams left to join the Trinity College staff. The new mentor was at the time coaching frosh basketball at Columbia and working with Lou' Rossini on the varsity.
Before assuming his responsibili- ties at Columbia he worked for five years as phys-ed instructor at his high school alma mater, Scars- dale, where he coached at various times basketball, soccer, baseball, track and golf.
Smith is a firm believer in phy- sical fitness as an important factor in winning ball games, especially the close ones. HoweSver, he frowns

"Sputnik" Means Homecoming;
No Comment Here But "Beep"
by Pete Shapiro 1 Fiat Lux Sports Editor
Pogo, Plebiscites a n d Perusals
Miss Marguerite Higgins attempted to prove, in a recent "New York Herald-Tribune" column, that the Russians invented the grand old game of beizbol. It was a rather half-hearted effort and we weren't convinced, but the article certainly got us to thinking.
After long and due consideration, this writer, Crowbar and Pogo took a plebiscite at which it was decided: HOMECOMING W A S CONTRIVED BY THE RUSSIANS.
Anyone who has bothered to read this far may peruse at his lei- sure the following arguments on our behalf:
Convincing Argument One: Adam and Eve must have been Rus- sians: they had no clothes and only an apple between them—yet be- lieved they were in Paradise.
Therefore, anything that follows them (we presume that home- coming is post-Edenian) belongs to the fatherland.
More Convincing Argument Two: Since nineteenth century Rus- sia, fools have taken one thousand mile trips to a land of ice and snow and frost because they had whacky ideas.
In Russia it is called exile; at Alfred it's known as homecoming..
Most Convincing Argument lhree: During the twentieth century Soviet decisions have been made by a small, powerful Politburo.
Parallelisms, P i g s k i n s a n d P r o f u n d i t y
Many times brave young warriors have been sent into battle for the nativeland. All of which brings us to the finale of the past weekend at Merrill Field last Saturday night.
W e find many striking parallels here: where else but in Russia could a calf skin have been labeled pigskin? Where else but in the land of milk-and-honey would 100 yard long gridirons be developed?
So you see the profound logic of our argument: no,matter in what era homecoming was conceived the Russians got there first. But of course you are not convinced, and you are right.
Anyway, Miss Higgins failed, so why can't we?

Saxons Turn Larries Scarlet, 18-6;
Talarico Leads AU With Two Tallies
by Pete Shapiro
They're Gentlemen Now . . .

IP? B l i
BUT NOT SO LAST SATURDAY NK3HT when they Joined forces to help down St. Lawrence, 18-6. Ralph Talarico, left, scooted around end twice in the second quarter to score, with lineman Lyle Weideman helping to make sure he went over untouched.
The St. Lawrence football squad,"
which at best could have been con- sidered co-stars along with the Warrior eleven at the finale of this
weekend's homecoming festivities Saturday night, arrived at Merrill Field well after most of the crowd of 5,000 had already gathered.
At the time it could have been considered a primadonna entrance.
Three and a half hours later they made a much less glorious' 'exit to the tune of "On Saxon Warriors"
(played three times), innumerable hoarse ''Hallelujahs" and an 18-6 defeat.
All of this hoopla is in way of preparation for Saturday's ,31st meeting with Hobart—the oldest football opponent on the Alfred schedule—-in a rivalry resumed aft- er a year's abstinence.
Ralph Talarico, 159-pound full- back from Herkimer led the. Sax- ons seora-wise as he picked up his third and fourth touchdowns of the season and continued to out- rush his teammates.'
A Jim Hartnett t/o *Russ Fahey touchdown pass midway * through
the third quarter was just so much window dressing. The Warriors had things well under control and wrapped up as soon as they walked onto the field after half-time.
The hkpless St. Lawrence eleven, mot-so-proud owners of a losing
•skein now expended to thirteen
•games, held the Warriors at bay until half of the 'second quarter was played out. But then it was Talarico scooting untouched around rikht end twice in the course of four minutes play, and there was never a question after- ward.
Once more the scrappy Saxon forward wall congealed all over
their opponents when Alfred mov- ed ahead to stay. The stalwart sev- en allowed Larrie rushers a net of -2 yards after Talarico's second scoring run.
Joe Yanuzzi's recovery of a St.
Lawrence fumble on the visitors' 23 set the stage for Alfred's first tally. Two plays later Hartnett went up the middle for 11 yards
and a first down on the visitors' four yard line. This was followed by Talarico's first scoring sortie.
Heads-up Saxon play figured in the clinching score as well. On the third play after AU's return kick- off Tom Cechini picked off a Lar- rie pass on the Warrior 47.
After a clipping penalty returned the home forces to their own 35, Hartnett flipped to Cechini behind
| what could have passed easily for jan old-fashioned flying wedge. The I play was good for 41 yards and
soon a personal foul against the Scarlet and Brown set up the 12-0 halftime score.
The small St. Lawrence rooting section and equally small bench (17 reserves) had very little to cheer about throughout the game.
Shades of Paint
by Diana Graessle It's almost that time again.
That new library of ours sure would be a sitting duck.
How about that blank back side? B-U-F-F-A-L-O. Ouch!
H-O-B-A-R-T on our new science building.
You take it from there. I have the peculiar feeling that there are many, many students who would like to see shades of paint on Alfred. It's going to be up to us to see that nothing of this sort happens. We're the ones who are going to be re- sponsible; we're the ones who are going to be called on to protect our campus.
There comes a time when we must bury all things. Let's put our brushes and buckets aivay. School spirit is desirable;
spirits of turpentine do not work on brick.
Let's protect our campus and let's respect the campuses of
our opponents. „ The Larries were never able to sus-
tain any sort of drive, as their well scattered four first downs in- dicate.
j But perhaps the most spectacular play of the contest came when Joe Oalipari took a Saxon punt on his own 29 and threaded his way down the sideline 77 yards for the lone St. Lawrence tally.
[ However, four minutes previous- l y the Hartnett-Fahey scoring pass
had put Alfred three touchdowns up, and the visitor's run probably hurt pride much more than Saxon prospects in the game.
