Dr. Burdick
Resigns As Dean
President M. Ellis Drake announced January 21 of the resignation of Dr.
H. O. Burdick as Dean of the Col- lege of Liberal Arts, effective June 30.
Dr. Burdick, with the University since 1931, has been on the Univer- sity's administrative staff since his appointment as Dean in September, 1948. He plans to remain as chairman of the Biology department, a position he has held since before becoming Dean.
The announcement by President Drake said that Dr. Burdick's reason for resignation was his long-standing desire to devote his full time to teach- ing and research. he accepted appointment as Dean with reluctance ein-ce it meant a limitation of his classroom activities. He has looked forward to a return to fulltime teach- ing and is of the opinion that he should take this step at the end of the current academic year."
President Drake also expressed his
"official and personal appreciation for the excellent service Dr. Burdick has
Griller Quartet Stirs
Interest At Forum
by Bert Katz
Jack O'Brien, Philip Burton, Colin Hampton and Sidney Griller are four Englishmen who have been together for over twenty-five years. Aside from being good friends they are also good musicians.
On February 9 the third forum event of the year featured these four gentlemen in concert. These men make up the Griller String
Quartet. They have been touring since September and recently have had sev- en concerts in seven days, one-a-day.
They are resident musicians at Uni- versity of California. The Alfred Uni- versity Forum conoert they presented consisted of three quartets: the quar- tet in D Major, opus 76, no. 5 by- F.
J. Haydn, the Juartet No. 2 of B. Bar- tok and the G Major Quartet, No. 2, Op. 18 of L. van Beethoven.
The first rendering of the quartet, the Haydn D Major, was in my opin- ion a bit indecisive in performance.
There seemed to be, a conflict between the first violin and the viola. This tension seemed to keep the music from selling its full worth to the audience The brilliance of the 2nd Quartet of Bartok, the second performance of the program, on the other hand was well rendered to the University during his I formed and- balanced.

organization and rendering was the Moderate and Allegro molto move- ments. The violoncello seemed to strengthen the whole quartet. Mr.
Hampton certainly represented a fine musician in this quartet. Of course,
Prof. Langer Auditoriumizes On Our Modern Generation
The assembly program Thursday, February 10, was the first of the spring semester. At that time Professor Henry C. Langer Jr., chairman of the economics and business department, addressed the students.
Professor Langer's speech concerned itself with his observations
of college students in general and Al- fred' students in particular. He quoted
"Life Magazine" as having called this the "Luckiest igeneration." For this generation," says Profe. Langer, "suc- cess is coming early and achievment,
not age is an indication of ability."
"Young people," Professor Langer claims, "are not usually so well treat- ed." Because they are people, this gen- eration should wonder why it is being treated so well, and will, it end and if it does, when.
Evidence of the favoritism towards this generation was cited: people are marrying younger than ever before;
starting salaries on jobs are higher even than the proportionate cost of living necessitated; baby-sitting rates have even gone up; the people of this generation hare more cars, more clothes and in general more luxuries than ever before.
"The traditional picture of struggle contrasts the present," says Professor Langer. There is an increase in the economic value, position and power of today's generation. Three forces which cause this are war, growth and expansion, and inflation. War increases the use and need1 of young people. Par- ents realize the possibility of losing their youngsters and therefore indulge them with even more luxuries. General progress calls for new people and new ideas. The young usually have no lo- cational ties and this flexibility is of economic value in times of change. In- flation is the condition which exists when purchasing power increases fas- ter than the rate of production. The established order of things crumble and a new organization rises. This sit- uation benefits the reckless but it is not normal and is only temporary.
Youth will be benefitted from the new ecquisition of wealth made by its par- ents. Eventually, however, savings will increase in value and recklessness will lose out. Parents will not be in such younger generation will not be in such a favored position.
As a rather hopeful ending Profes- sor Langer suggested some possible solutions. One is that this generation will not always be young. Maybe be- fore youth loses its value the young people of today will be of value as older people. He also suggested that less weight be put on material suc- cess. People should- enjoy themselves just as much when economic gains are less. If people insist on material gains they ill have to fight in competition against those who are there and those
•who are going there.
In conclusion he suggested that col- lege students use every minute in col- lege advantageously so that when they compete they have something to offer.
Acceptances
The latest member of the senior class to be accepted to graduate school is Peter Ramko of Klan Alpine fraternity. He received notification of his acceptance to the dental school at the University of Pennsylvania last week. He is the second Alfred student to be accepted at Pennsylvania Den tal School this year as Michael Schnei- der, a junior, was accepted last se- mester.
This semester also saw the return of the three Alfred students who were selected to attend the American Uni- versity this past fall. The three stu- dents, Marvin Rosenthal, Jerry Slater and Jenny Gobert, are all political science majors and were wonderfully impressed by American University and Washington in general.
Varied Musical Program Planned
The plans of the music department for this semester are beginning to shape up. There will be several pro- grams that are sure to be of interest to both the student body and the com- munity. They will be both vocal and instrumental in nature.
Last Sunday's Chambermusic con- cert was the first in an informal ser- ies planned for this term. The pro- grams will feature Baroque music played on authentic instruments such as the harpsichord and the recorder.
The chambermusic grpup is composed of Alfred's outstanding string players under the direction of Mr. Fiedler.
Concerts will take place at Susan How- ell Hall on Suhday afternoons. The time and date will be announced.
The University chorus has already begun work on its annual spring con- cert scheduled for Palm Sunday. This I year no one major work will be per- 1
the modulation of tne entire composi- tion was well brought out by the group. Too often quartets tend to overlook the beautiful modulations of the major and minor keys, by the com- poser's wish directed' each instrument.
The strong allegro tempo of the quar- tet was also well presented by the group.
The final offering of the Beethoven G Major quartet was a fine, strong presentation. I have some question in my mind of the selection of such an early quartet of Beethoven when Hadyn is included on the same pro- gram. But nonetheless the music it self was presented nicely.
There was a beautiful adagio (con- table) rendition in the work with a fine contrasting scherzo movement.
The slow eveness of the adagio against the scherzo, free, spontaneous, was certainly well done. The group seems well qualified and sensitive, with a great deal of individuality and even- ess in their playing.
A movement from the Haydn (Ser- enade) quartet was the encore.
Senior elections will be held Thursday, from 11 a. m. to 1 p. m., at the Student Union.
Nominated for president are:
Chum Larsen, Larry Palombi and Charles Watkins. Those nominated for secretary are: Mary Jane Villa- reale, Pat Rencone and Allen Ghet-
to.
Prints from our collection of over 150 will be on display in the Student Union on February 16 at 12 noon. Rentals will take place from 3 to 5 p. m. that day. The prices are $.50 or $1.00.

Chilly Greetings From Antarctic
Ice breaker Atka, Antartica—
Hello me buckeroos and colleens, t'is good to greet ye agajn. I was all set t'see ye all in Alfred, but as usual I missed me connections. The next thing I knew I was on this god-for- saken ship in a place that's cold enough to be Alfred. But there's one consolation down here; at least the heats off from last year.
They got me bunked down in the propeller shaft in the stern of the ship; I guess they thought I was a junior. Ah well, some days ye just don't get a break. The captain is a fine man though, he's arranging for me to iget transportation back to Al- fred. It looks like I'll be leaving the ship next week and going to Australia.
The good captain is sending me with the mail ship so I'll be in touch with all of ye. So, start growing y'r fine beards boys and keep an eye open f'r a pretty colleen to take to th' festival.

English Club To Be Hosts To Prospective Majors
It has long been felt by the English Department that many stu- dents possessing interest and ability in the humanities have been re- strained from majoring in them for a lack of knowledge of the prac- tical professions to which these fields may lead. In an effort to make these opportunities known to the student body, the 'English Club

has announced an open meeting, to be held Sunday, February 20, at 7:30 p.m.
at Dr. Bernstein's residence, for all students considering majoring in En- glish.
Much work has been done to estab- lish the position of English majors in the business fields. The scope and ac- complishments of a meeting between the National English Association and representatives of leading business concerns, held last year at Corning, will be discussed at the meeting along with the results obtained from a sur- vey conducted by Allen Dirlem, a former Alfred English major, designed to discover business opportunities for English majors in the industry of Western New York. Dr. Finch, chair- man of the department, has announced that the results of this recently con- ducted survey are now in his posses- sion.
Also available to those interested in the field is a brochure written and published' last year by L. Ruth Middle- brook, of Washington Square College of New York University. The work, entitled "Careers for English Majors,"
is a comprehensive report on the op- portunities available to English ma- jors in all important fields. Demands for the brochure reached such pro- portions last year that its publication was taken over by McMillan & Co., so that many more copies are now availa- ble. Dr. Finch has announced that the department now has a sufficient num- ber of copies on hand for anyone in- terested. Its content will also be dis- cussed at the meeting.
The remainder of the evening be given over to a discussion of the position of English majors in graduate and professional schools. There has been an increasing importance placed on the necessity of good self expres- sion in the medical and particularly month the program was devoted to w h o tparhe-? thecourse "At least there t h e l e g a l Professions.

Fatal Crash
Don Martin, a sophomore at Alfred University, was killed last Thursday night when he lost control of the car he was driving and crashed into a tree.
Don, a member of Lambda Chi, was 24 years old. He was a native of Al- fred.
Theta Gamma has won the coveted trophy, it will be permanently retired to the possession of that house. The closeness of the race demanded a first and second Honorable Mentions earned by Klan Alpine and Bartlett, respec- tively in the raens' division and by The Brick in the women's division.
Alpha Beta Chi is reported to have been disqualified for receiving too much aid from another house.
The three judges, who accompanied Sno-Queen Beverly Baase on the tpur of decision, were the Hon. Mr. Leo V.
Ludiden, Majyor of Wellsvijle; the Hon. Mr. Francis T. Hogan, Mayor of Hornell and the Hon. Mr. John Ja- cox, Mayor of Alfred.
WOMEN'S DIVISION
Sigma Chi Nu's winning presenta- tion of "Memorial Day" featured a life-size replica of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier guarded by a lone sentry. Two children before a large fireplace netted the Christmas theme of Pi Nu Epsilon the second place cup. The work bringing an honorable mention to the Brick was a ferocious looking dragon of snow and icicles with a sign in English and Chinese wishing everyone "a happy Chinese New Year." Pi Alpha Pi visualized "Val- entine's Day" as Cupid standing on a pile of hearts. Pogo got into the act as a speaker on a soap box on "Elec- tion Day" at Alpha Kappa Omieron. A large cross and the inscription
"He is risen" was MacKenzie's inter- pretation of Easter. At the neighbor- ing house, Kezia, a king reigned over the "Mardi Gras." Alpha Beta Chi, completed a braml: new baby, a top hat and a clock which conveyed the idea of "Happy New Year."
MEN'S DIVISION
To get their winning snow sculp- ture, Theta Gamma borrowed1 a sta- tue of Abraham Lincoln from the Lin- coln Memorial in Washington. The sculpture rose about fifteen feet above its base. A ship, nearly as large as the one used by Columbus himself, was one of the three pieces in Kappa Sigma Epsilon's "Columbus Day." The other figures were of a man rowing the landing boat and of Columbus wading ashore. Klan Alpine chose to honor "St. Patrick's Day" with a man at a transit, another operating a kiln and another behind a plow. These men represent the civil, ceramic and agricultural engineers for whom St.
Patrick is the patron saint. Bartlett used just enough color to highlight the jack-in-the-box in their "April Fool's Day" sculpture.
The tallest of this year's snow sculp- tures was that of Psi Delta Omega, which represented "The Fourth of July" with a twenty-five foot Statue of Liberty. Lambda Chi Alpha's sculp-
ture was the most colorful since i t was a full color rendering of the flag of the United States in honor of "Flag Day." A small Kappa Nu sculpture consisted simply of an inebriated man clinging to a street light post. The subject was entitled "Homecoming."
At the corner of Main and West Pine Streets, Delta Sigma Pi decided to sculpture the laughing face and waving hand of "The Spirit of Holi- days." The little boy toting the bag and the cannon in front of Tau Delta Phi was out for some "Halloween"
trick or treats. "And they beat their swords in plow shares" was the Bib- lical quotation on the base of the sculp- ture of a man behind a plow in Kap- pa Psi Upsilon's "Armistice Day 1955."

Saturday's Winter Sports activities were limited to the slalom and down hill ski races due to sudden weather changes and lack of entries in some events. The surface was too badly pit- ted by an acculmulation of frozen slush to hold the scheduled ice skat- ing events Saturday morning. Because so few of the local skiers could ob- tain cross country skis, the cross country race was not held.
With teams from Swain and Ho- bart College participating, the slalom and down hill races, though delayed nearly an hour while the course was changed to a better site, got under way. The Swain team made a clean sweep of the slalom event by placing first, second and third. They also skied off with first honors in the down hill event. Second place went to Steve Homer of the University., with the third place also going to Alfred. Hobart was thereby left In the cellar spot. Refreshments of cof- fee and doughnuts were served at the ski hill during the races. The snow bunny was the second event that failed to materialize because of the lack of contestants. Because there was no crowd at the ski hill at 8:30 there was no torch light parade as planned.
The final details of Saturday's ev- ents and Sunday's bobsled races still scheduled at press time will be re- ported next week.

African Safari
Dear Editor:
. . . Two Austrian boys aged 20 are looking for two American boys who would be interested to join them on an adventurous tour around Africa.
We are very much Interested to start a small expedition different from those which had been undertaken into the wilderness of Africa before, to gain a thrilling experience of life with the na- tives, to work aud house with them for some time, to see their customs, old traditions and cultures of the past ages. We also want to take pictures and an 8 mm smallfilm of all we see, and afterwards write about our ex- periences in magazines and newspa- pers.
The whole trip should last for 12 to 16 months to give us time enough to collect as many impressions of the Dark Continent as possible. Another boy student from the Sudan, a native himself, would join and guide us in
So let us hear from you as soon as possible.

Hurt Bookbuyer
Dear Editor,
At the beginning of last semester there appeared articles about the book- store and the prices charged. Most students felt they were being over- charged and Miss Humphreys said she was only charging list prices. This semester a new edition of Hicks,
"American Nation" was being sold for the first time. Miss Humphreys' price for this new edition was $6.75. This is one dollar more than the old' edition.
I had ordered this book from Barnes and Noble In New York City. The reason I did this was that Miss Hum- phreys did not have the book in stock at the start of the semester. I receiv- ed the book from Barnes and Noble and the list price marked was $5,75 and they also gave a discount on the book bringing the price to $5.49. This is just about $1.25 cheaper than Miss Humphreys' price. Perhaps Miss Hum-

Dear Editor:
In the January 11 issue of the Fiat it was stated that labor leaders have made it necessary to belong to a union in' order to get a job. Also, 17 states have passed laws to uphold the con- stitutional right to work. "No wonder Secretaary of Labor Mitchell's attack on these law's before the recent CIO convention provoked such a storm of protest in so many quarters." You have presented a one-sided view of the question, completely ignoring the purpose and place of labor unions in America.
There is another side to this prob- lem. Organized labor, supported by various religious elements and by some members of Eisenhower's administra- tion, feel that the only purpose behind these laws is to do away with unions i as an_ effective bargaining force. A worker doesnt have to belong to a union in order to secure employment.
This, known as the closed shop, was made illegal in most cases by the Taft- Hartley Act. Most states that have these "Right to Work'' laws in effect have had, in the past, been known for their anti-union attitude. The ques- tion is not as simple as it would ap- pear to be from the editorial.
I am not attempting to pass judg- ment on the necessity for such laws.
Both Labor and Management have been guilty of unfair practices. How- ever, I feel that a more careful exam- ination of the facts should be made be- fore the Fiat comes out with so unbal- anced a view.

" I t ' s a lie . . . Mayer is not pinned to anybody." I guess Sol should know, if anybody does, so I would like to correct this glaring error.
Just one last comment—congratulations to Sigma Chi and Theta Gamma on winning the Snow Sculpture contest. So long for now. Be seeing you again soon.
Senatorially Speaking
by Gil Chollick
It appears the Student Senate is avoiding the major issues oc- curring on campus. Whether it is intentional or not is difficult to discern. Witli each passing week the Senate draws farther away from achieving the stature and the success that rightfully belongs to them. This organization has all the necessary pdtential to be
the controlling faction on the Alfred Campus. They are unable, however, to grasp at the many opportunities which would insure their long-awaited suc- cess.
At the beginning of the year the Senate had many plans and ideas which in previous years were talked about, yet not performed. One was there will always be some popular t n e initiation of an honor system to fad replacing some other to alleviate *
the tensions brought about by final exams, there will always be individual cliques relishing and perpetrating one kind of musical form, and there will always be "ivory tower" philosophers wondering as to what sort of hell we are all progressing.

does for school prestige need not be discussed here. What is impor- tant, however, is for the students to realize and constantly bear in mind that they are the representatives of Alfred University and are directly and indirectly creating public opinion about the Univer- sity.
For those who do not particularly care about newspaper cov- erage and public opinion regarding this school, it should be kept in mind that the prestige of the University has a direct bearing on job placement and graduate school acceptances for the graduating classes.
It is not the hardest thing in the world to act properly and de-,.
cently where such action is called for — let's make an effort to do so. '
W n e re we ask, will "it" go next"?
The question'now uppermost in the minds of those who make a good living from the luxury of collegiate fans Is how long this mental and physical anguish will continue.
The Rag Time and Flapper rage gradually, as we know, resolved itself into the very successful career of Rudy Valley, which in turn gave way to that sleep-eyerd and undernour- ished band of crooners led by the indomitable Frank Syiatra, then to a short-lived emphasis upon the un- affected beauty of folk music, and finally to the revival of Dixie-Land.

take place in the very near» future. A committee was formed to investigate how the honor system functions on other campuses, and whether these ideas could be adapted and put into effect on our campus.
It appears the-Senate is placing the emphasis on the wron,g source. Be- fore an honor system can be started,
student opinion must be gathered and weighed.
This must be idone immediately while the problem is out in the open, if any success is to be insured. I t would be a big step in the progress and growth of Alfred University, if the problem could be solved and an hon- or tystem taking hold. It would place Alfred on a more mature level, which other schools have already achieved.
SENATE JOTTINGS: i Curtains are to be purchased- by the Senate, and It is hoped that they will be ready for the St. Pat's Festival.
A discussion on the Senate Floor concerning the quality of the assem- bly programs and the obtaining of better talent for these Thursday ses- sions, took place Tuesday night.

McNamara Stars; Saxons Split
Led by John McXamara the Saxon Warroirs on February 5, de- feated Allegheny College by an 81-75 count. Mr. McNamara broke the Alfred University one gam* scoring record when he tallied 38 points.
The old record was 35 points, set by Millard Evak against Clarkson College in the '52-'53 season. Mac hit for 14 field goals and 10 foul shots.
The Warriors were never behind a t ter the early minutes of the game and they had good control of the back- boards, getting 62 rebounds. Leading the way was Mac with 20. He was followed by Corbin with 12 rebounds and Balle with 10.
Corbin did a nice job of guarding the Allegheny star, Bill Bishop, who is averaging 24 points per game. Bish- op got 15 while Corbin, who la on the way to break the all-time school game average hit for 16. Gene Greenberg broke into the starting lineup as he hit for 10 points while Bob Greene broke up the Allegheny zone defense with 9 points. AU led at the half 40-25.
Other scorers tor the Black and Gold were Rich and Don Wington with 15 and Mel Laskopp 23.
On February 9, the Saxons played the first of three road games. The opposition was the good Ithaca squad, victors over lona and Army. Ithafca won 93-76. The Purple and Gold play- ed one of their good games, but the Ithacans played thier best game of the year, as they had a shooting mark of 70 per cent.
Ithaca has the best foul shooting in the nation and this proved to be the difference. IC made 32 field goals to the Saxons 30, but on the free throw lane AU was behind 16-29.
One of Alfred's bright spots was Bob Green's set shooting. Bobby was hit- ting from all over the floor to take high scoring honors for Lil' Alf with 21 points, one more than Bob Corbin had. John McNamara and Bill Balle hit the double number brackets with 12 and 10 points respectively.
For the victors the entire starting five went almost all the way and they hit for double figures. Bill Chadwick took top honors with 28 points. He missed his first foul shot of the year against the Saxons. Chadwick made 67 in a row before this one, and he leads the nation.
Other top scorers in the contest
•were Ithaca's Burnell, 17; Feldman, 13; Marsh, 14; and Zonnevylle, 17. Al- fred's Gene Greenberg, playing with a bad leg hit for 8 and Len Rapkin re- turned to action after a one game lay- off due to some bad fingers and hit for 2 tallies. Other scorers for AU were Chet Micciche, 1; Buzz Von- Neida, 1; and Ed Matthew3, 1. The half score was AU 39, Ithaca 48. The Sax- ons next game will be at Brockport to- morrow and the next home game will be Friday night against St. Lawrence University in the Men's Gym.

Frosh Take Two
In the interim between publications of the FIAT the frosh, sparked by Paul Boehme and Howie Jarolman downed the powerful Buffalo State and Allegany squads by the scores of 95- 80 and 68-65.
In what was a breeze of a contest the frosh under the momentum of Paul Boehme's 28 points, easily down- ed the out-played, out-maneuvered
"Teachers" with what seemed to be little or no effort at all.
In the meeting with Allegheny the frosh, although emerging on top seem- ed a little less masters of the situ- ation. The highlights of the game were few as it was an even contest all the way. Once again Boehme came through with 18 points. Yet, as unbe- lievable as it may seem this was not high for the game as Jarolman came through with a cool 22 markers. Phil Baker and Jim Hartnett had control of the boards.
Last Wednesday night the freshmen met an unequal Ithaca squad and emerged victorious despite the loss of Boehme and Romano. They put on a strong showing to the tune of 72-54, with Jarolman contributing 23. John Williams hit for 20, mainly on sets and
Bilanski Scores As All-American
Alfred Bilanski, star right guard of the Alfred University football team for the past three seasons, was chosen to the Williamsan Little All-American right guard position.
Bilanski, a rough, tough man on both offense and defense, got the first string guard position. On the second squad was Hobart's Bruno, who had a rough day against the Warriors up at Geneva.
In addition to Al, Don Carlin, the right tackle, and Jim Ryan, the full- back, received honorable mention at
their positions. •
Al comes from Port Washington and has played football since his high school days out on the Island. While back in high school he received an All-Scholastic award in football. He also received two lineman of the week awards during the Alfred football sea- son. A junior, Mr. Bilanski will be back again next season for the Yune- vichmen along with Messers Carlin and Ryan, a sophomore and a fresh- man, respectively.
The awards were made by mall by the national rating expert Paul B.
Williamson, a syndicated sports col- umnist who selects three All-American clubs; one each from major, small college and junior college ranks. Mr.
Williamson sends every coach a ques- tionnaire at the close of each season asking him to pick a team in his class making any special notations on the outstanding ball players.
As a result of the Williamson awards a total of four Saxon players can now boast of All-American ratings. Be- sides Bilanski, Carlin, ami Ryan", Pat Lattari was also given an honorable Sid Smith hit for 10. The frosh were ; mention on another team .
never behind.
Women's Sports
The Women's Athletic Governing Board sent Imogene Bramen to the recent conference of the New York Athletic 'Federation of College, Women, at Syracuse. The main speaker was Christian White ,the director of the Syracuse women's athletic department.

This was set by Evak in Bob's first year at Alfred, the 1952-53 season.
Mr. Corbin went into the game against the University of Rochester with 542 points.

Three Saxon teams saw action Sat- urday night and. only the wrestlers came out victorious.
The grapplers topped the University of Buffalo 21-13 in the M«n's Gym while the varsity and freshmen basket- ball squads were taking it on the chin at the University of Rochester.

It might be noted that they were married in Rochester last Septem- ber and that Bill Balle, Bob's old' room- mate during their eophomore year and on road trips was the best man at the wedding.
Big Bob hails from Rochester where he went to Charlotte High School. He became interested in Alfred because of its size and location. While at Char- lotte he played basketball for three seasons, football for one, soccer for two and track for three seasons. Bob igot varsity letters in all of these sports and; in basketball made the Rochester All-Scholastic first team during his senior year. He was given the honor of being the president of his class in high school during his sophomore, junior and senior years.
The top night for Bob was last year against the University of Tor- onto when he tallied 31 points. At present he leads the team in scoring, with an average of 18 a game and in rebounding with 15 per outing. A jun-
ior, Bob will be back again next sea- son.
Bill Balle, another big boy, stand- ing 6-6 is the starting right forward and hails from Teneck, New Jersey.
He is now in his third' season with the Saxons. While in high school he play- ed basketball for two years. Besides being an ass*t to the team he also picked up a few scholastic honors, be- ing awarded the Sequence Honor Award and National Honor Award.
Willie plays softball during the summer months with the Hl-Y all boys National Athletic and Social group. At Alfred he is a member of Klan Alpine.ami' contributes signifi- cantly to their intramural and inter- scholastic standing. In football and softball he has -helped the Klan to win many games, and being on the Dean's list for three out of his five semesters in school has certainly helped the house index.
Bill is one of the many students who became aware of Alfred' through the work of the admissions committee. It seems that the secretary from the admissions office was making a tour of high schools in the New Jersey ar- ea, and after hearing all about Al- fred from her. Bill filled out an appli- cation.
Balle is the number three man on the squad in scoring with 95 points going into the Rochester game and is the number two man in the rebound department, averaging about 11 per contest. His 19 points and his re- bounding was the big difference as Lll' Alf knocked off the University of Toronto.
Friday night the varsity will play the Larries from St. Lawrence in the Men's Gym. The freshmen will play an intramural team at 6:30 p.m. with, the varsity game starting at 8:18. Let's get behind' our team. It's a good ball club and with any support, other than that of the cheering squad it would be a better club.
A few years ago the people in the audience made the difference between winning and losing games. The empty stands don't help. Get out to the gym Friday night and keep your eyes on.
