Plans Nearing Completion For Junior Class Dance In University Gym Oct. 3
Date Marks First Major Social Event Of College Year; Also First Function Ever Sponsored By Class Of 1949
Plans are well underway for the first major social event of the season, the Football Opener, an informal da' ce sponsored by the Junior Class, to be Friday from 8 to 12 p.ir at University Gym.
Arrangements have already been made for Andy Grillo's band, well- known in Hornell and vicinity.
Regardless of this being the first social event that the Class of '49 ever sponsored, Class President Russell Langworthy has expressed great hope for its success. "I am sure that our responsible committee chairmen will make this dance one of the most en- joyable of the year" he boasted.
Langworthy appointed the follow- ing committees: Edward Purdy, pub- licity; Hermine Deutsch and John Kane, decorations; David Powell and Carolyn Thomas, chaperones; Paul Meissner, Richard Johnson and Gor- don Thrall, refreshments; and Bever- ly Button, tickets. They will meet Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Physics Hall to report and to complete plans.

Alfred U. Graduate School Enrolls 200
About 200 students have enrolled in the Alfred University graduate school this Fall taking courses leading to a master's degree in the fields of science, arts, education and fine arts.
For the past nine years graduate work at Alfred has been offered as a division of the College of Liberal Arts, Dr. Joseph Seidlin, dean of the school, explained. Placing the work on a school level this year has been done in line with a national trend toward increased demand for advanced work.
Dr. Seidlin said programs of study will meet four types of student needs:
teachers in service who need perman- ent certification; teachers in prepara- tion; students who wish to continue studies in a major field, and students of the New York State College of Cer- amics.

Ceramic School Installs Change In Curriculum
A streamlining of technical courses to allow more time for the fundamen- tal sciences and humanistic social studies features a change in the cur- riculum of the College of Ceramics this Fall, it was recently announced.
Samuel R. Scholes said "The new curriculum increases emphasis on mathematics, physics and chemistry and reduces the time given to learning details of industrial plant operations."
This Fall's freshman class is the first to study under the new curric- ulum. Several specialized courses in glass technology, engineering ceram- ics, ceramic technology and design will become either elective or avail- able for graduate work to allow more time for the new fundamental courses.
Dr. Scholes said the new curriculum is in line with suggestions by ceramic industrialists that college graduates need a more thorough understanding of ceramic engineering fundamentals and less-detailed knowledge of specific plant practices. It also meets general requirements of industry today that engineers have a broader understand- ing of human relations as well as well as standards set by the Engineers' Council for Professional Development, accrediting agency for engineering col- leges.

RFA Resumes Sunday Night Forum Hours
Resuming its Sunday night Forum programs, the RFA has presented two interesting sessions in Social Hall.
September 21, Prof. Varick Nevins gave a program of films of Alfred.
On Sept. 28, Dr. Ellsworth Barnard and Dr. Thomas Hall spoke on the topic, "Is Higher Education an Il- lusion?" With a negative approach, Dr. Hall presented his thoughts on the subject: College does not aim at the production of good citizens; it does not assist, usually, in the voca- tional techniques.
Dr.' Barnard's points were that the aims of college, although not fully realized, were: to increase intellectu- al power, to cultivate an attitude of reasonableness, to refine asthetic powers and to set moral values and
"to encourage the will to realize these values.
In the ope forum following, the question of {aternal assistance from the faculty was considered and called favorable by the pane. In future ses- sions of the RFA, related topics, and topics of other fields will be con- sidered.
Sophs To Sponsor
"Sock Hop" Dance
After earning a reputation last year for sponsoring unusual dances, the Class of '50, in a committee meeting Thursday evening, voted to sponsor an informal dance on Oct. 11, which will be called the "Sock Hop". Co- chairmen will be Sophomore Class President Donald Garrison, and Dwight Brown.
Following the precedent they set down last year, amount and method of charging admission will not be an- nounced until the night of the dance.
Refreshments will be served.
Alfred Registration Reaches Peak As 1600 Crowd Campus
More than 1600 students crowd Alfred's campus this year accord- ing to figures released this week by the Registrar's office and the Ag-Tech Institute. The University has enrolled 898 students for its 112th year and the Ag-Tech 703. Both figures are the largest in history.
Alfred men may be forced frequent-1 •—• , _
ly to spend their coffee hours alone I juniors, 111 seniors, 30 graduate stu- this year because only 20% of the 1601
students are from the distaff side.
(Hopefully, a mathematician carried the figure out to four places and got .2098.)
Two other significant figures show that 45% of tae enrollment are vet- erans and one out of three attending classes commutes from out-of-town.
There are 666 on campus who are supposed to be wearing Frosh caps.
(Frosh court had a few who didn't wear them in its first meeting Sunday

Applicants must complete satisfac- torily a six-weeks trial period before becoming regular staff members and attendance at meetings is compulsory.
Winter Sports Club Plans For New Activities
Enlargement of the Winter Sports Club to include tobogganing, skating, hiking and a carnival was announced this week by Lawrence H. Eliot '50,
"It is a Fall to Spring program,"
Eliot said and added, "By increasing the number of activities, we hope to have something in winter sports of interest to every student and we feel we will not only increase our mem- bership, but do a greater service to the campus."
He pointed out that frequently the group would meet by sport units, but the unity of the club would be main- tained to preserve their effectiveness for such large-scale ventures as the carnival which is in the planning stage. Units for hiking, camping and horseback riding as well as a rod and gun group are either already under way or being organized.
About 80 people attended the organ- ization meeting Tuesday evening, Eliot said, at which time the follow- ing committee chairmen were ap- pointed.
Carnival, Eliot; skiing, Richard Smith '49; toboganing, Frederic Schaa '49; skating, Frank Pasternack '50;
hiking and camping, Jesse B. Shap- iro '49; horseback, Robert D. Farn- ham '50.
Cushing '49
Bucknell after a lapse of 24 years, as many tries against the PennsyL- at Lewisburg. All observers agree a 25-0 score, played exceptionally Argentieri and Brown were out- standing for Alfred in offensive play and Hall and Schweitzer starred on defense, figuring in on almost every defensive play. Ironically, the score rolled up by the opponents was al- most entirely due to Alfred fumbles.
Statistically, the score should have been about six to nothing or possibly a victory for Alfred, had the latter not bogged down in Bucknell terri- tory several times due to fumbles.
Receiving the kick off Alfred ^went for thres straight first downs before a fumble gave them a loss of eight yards on the third down. Kicking to Bucknell, the latter continued the first downs parade. After their third first down, they lost the ball to Alfred and the Saxons set in motion their most spectacular play of the game.
Out of a T-formation, Curran re- ceived the ball and headed for the flat. Hemmed in by the Bisons, Brown came racing from behind, where Curran tossed him a lateral, and carried the leather for 68 yards before being pulled down from be- hind. The ball rested on the seven- yard line. Here was the first of Al- fred's costly fumbles. The Bisons took over on their eight and put on a sus- tained drive which ended in a smash from the one-yard line and their first score just before half time.
Bucknell received the kickoff to start the third quarter and began a punting duel which lasted throughout the period. Bucknell kicked to the Alfred 12 for a 51-yard punt. After two downs, Brown quick-kicked. The pigskin went for 65 yards and was the best put of the game. From this point Bucknell began a drive which netted them the only touchdown not resulting from an Alfred fumble.

First Home Game Saturday Night
Friday Set As Day For Print Renting
Rental of the prints of masterpieces which have hung in the Campus Un- ion since last Spring's Arts Festival will be on the "first come, first served" basis from 4:30 to 6:30 Friday, October 3 at Social Hall, Miss Geen announced this week. Cost will be from $.50 to $1 per semester depend- ing upon the print, she said.
Presented to the University by Mrs.
George Openhym "24, the more than 50 prints formed an impressive part of the Arta Festival last May.
Relaxation has been made of the rule prohibiting hanging of pictures on the walls of university-owned dorm- itories. Students living in dormitor- ies may contact their head residents for advice in hanging the prints, the dean pointed out.
"Authorities recommend that pic- tures be hung at eye-heights, Miss Geen said.
Students To Be Given Credit For Activities
Credit is being given this year for the first time for participation in chorus, orchestra, band and some oth- er activities which will be announced later.
"In past years, many students did not feel they could devote much time to extra-curricular activities," Prof.
William Fiedler said. "We hope that the assigning of one credit will enable those who would like to take part in activities, to do so."
Mr. Fiedler went on to say that the additional incentive and the obliga- tions implied should improve the qual- ity of the groups. More details will be announced later.

An Improved Freshman Week
"Oh, to be a Freshman again!" and "Those poor Frosh"—either comment can be heard on campus these days as green caps bring back all kinds of memories. The first week is an important one from the standpoint of getting the right start in Alfred. This year with a few new techniques and ideas, the Administration staged a bigger and better Freshman Week than ever before. Special credit should be given to Miss Geen, Ken Goss, Dean Stone, the student advisors, and many others for the time and energy they devoted to the job.
One innovation was the freshman tours which should eliminate some direction giving (we hope). The Big-Little Sister plan was dropped in favor of several upper classmen acting as advisor to not more than ten freshmen each. With a full program of teas, assem- blies, tours, and conferences, a banquet, movie, etc., freshmen didn't have time to feel lost and they started out their college life with a helpful introduction to administration and student leaders, campus practices and customs.
There was, however, one group that is forgotten every year—
the transfers. Why not send out a special invitation to them to join at least part of the freshmen activities or plan a special program for them alone? They are new to Alfred, too.
On the whole, Freshman Week was a success; and b^ no means the least important evidence of their orientation is that a majority of the "Frosh" are wearing their green caps without protest.
College Aims Two-Fold
Freshmen are probably already writing themes in ariswer to the question 'Why are we here f" and ' 'What do I expect to accomplish ?"
As they start out on an entirely new kind of life, they consciously or unconsciously have outlined objectives for their college career.
The faculty, too, stops to get its bearings. In a recent talk, President Walters emphasized "good teaching" as an objective for this year. He mentioned two aims which should be kept uppermost;
(1) the development of intellect and (2) the development of charac- ter. Those are broad and ambitious aims, and if attainable at all, certainly by the kind of faculty Alfred now boasts.
But should not students have these objectives too? The first, the development of intellect, is more or less obvious. But it means more than memorization of facts and figures. It intimates the devel- opment of ability to learn, to select, to appraise and to appreciate.
The second, the development of character, is more subtly accom- plished. The sum of every contact made with people, every habit formed, every opinion expressed affects character. If this aim is achieved, we will leave college with more mature, worthy characters.
Neither students or teachers can accomplish these objetives alone.
Only if they aim together toward the same goal can they both succeed.

At the first signs of that "Friday afternoon look" it's time for your correspondent to be out on the prowl. Now that boy has met girl and Dean Elizabeth Geen has announced her ultimatums, the WPA (Working Populace of Alfred) is all set for entertaining and being entertained.
The Winter Sports Club officially started the social season Friday night with an informal dance at South Hall.
Posters, pines and winter sports equipment made the room festive. The recorded music made the stag line wish they had brought dates—or clubs.

Literary Magazine Group Starts Work
Initial plans for a literary maga- zine, which probably will be called the Integral, were set Tuesday eve- ning by about 15 people in Alumni Hall following up a preliminary meet- ing held last Spring.
Choosing the name "The Workshop,"
the group decided to draw up a con- stitution for presentation at an early meeting of Student Senate and elected Lawrence F. Kinlon '49, president.
Mr. Howard Houston will be faculty advisor. Meetings for the time being will be held weekly in Room 1, Alumni Hall.
Tentative plans include issuing a literary magazine before Christmas.
Probably the first issue will be mimeo- graphed because of4hortage of funds, although a letterpress printed maga- zine would be more desirable and would be attempted in subsequent is- sues. Contributions of poetry, fiction or factual features from any student are invited. %
In this respect, Dr. Ellsworth Barn- ard pointed out that work contributed to the Integral would be taken into consideration in awarding the annual Mary Wager Fisher Literary Prize, which, according to the college cata- logue, goes to "one or more students as a prize for excellence in literary composition."
Registration Improves
Registration—that amazing source of gripes, material for profes- sor's jokes, puns and attempts in general to apologize for large or small classes as the case may be, and an expected headache for every- one.
This year, despite the greatly increased number of students, registration was completed with fewer mixups and delays than usual.
This fact may not be obvious to the vet who had schedule conflicts and spent a complete afternoon in the process of straightening them out, or the girl who waited twenty minutes in a line which turned out to be for vets only.
But the overall picture is more encouraging. The outstanding fact is that more than 200 freshmen were registered in one forenoon.
The preregistration period at Social Hall was arranged to give stu- dents opportunity to work out their schedules for themselves and to eliminate the comfusion of filling out cards from the Library. The first purpose was accomplished, but the second was not. Much time was wasted since some professors were swamped with class cards to be issued while several others sat idly by.
Another suggestion is to carry on the preregistration in Greene Hall or any building nearer the Library. This would save both time and steps. Anyway it's over for another year.

Students To Vote On New Type Drive
The Community Chest drive was a main point on the agenda of the Stu- dent Senate meeting, Tuesday. A new idea on campus, mimeographed cards will be spnt to all students ask- ing if they would rather support one inclusive drive to collect from each student a sufficient sum of money to cover all drives for the year or whether they would prefer the present set-up of individual requests for each drive.
Katherine Bascom AC, was appoint- ed chairman of the Community Chest to succeed Jack Carabillo '48, who re- signed.
Note was also made concerning at- tendance of Senate representatives at meetings. President Kenneth Goss '48, pointed out "Student Senate repre- sentatives have a great responsibility to fulfill, and therefore are expected to attend every meeting."
A Senate ruling relieves any repre- sentative of his position if he misses three successive meetings. In such a case, the house he represents will be expected to elect a new Senate repre- sentative. As a fair measure, a note will be sent to the house concerned after the first absence of the repre- sentative.

Charles P. Brady, Kenneth G. Goss, Nadler, Harry S. Parker and Rice.
In an effort to make Frosh Court follow the serious lines set down in plans last Spring, the Court will be closed to spectators and, to prevent false accusation, charges will be signed and handed to Blue Key mem- bers, the group announcd. Post cards will then be sent to accused freshmen men ordering them to appear before the Court. The WSG and Ag-Tech Student Council will hold court for those two groups.
Athletic Director James A. McLane, faculty advisor of Blue Key for sev- eral years and instrumental in the postwar reorganization, asked that his resignation from that position be accepted under pressure of ,other duties. It was accepted.
The president appointed a three- man committee, William H. Beazell Jr., '49, Richard H. Dunne '49, and Ed- ward J. Purdy '49, to investigate the possibility of Blue Key erecting an arch over the driveway to Merrill Field as its project of the year. An elected social affairs committee to supervise money-raising social events will be composed of Eugene W. Hol- man '49, Raymond C. Scholtz '49 and Sidney Schweitzer '49.
On the suggestion of Frosh Court Chief Justice Brady, the Freshman rules are listed below for the benefit of freshmen as well as upperclassmen:
1. All freshman men and women shall be required to wear the regula- tion green cap with yellow button from Freshman Week in September until a five-weeks period is up. The cap shall be worn without alteration in any way from 6 a.m. to & p.m., Monday through Friday, and at all home athletic contests*.
2. Freshmen shall be required to ob- serve all rules of common courtesy and shall show due respect to University faculty, and upperclassmen by. giving preference in entering campim and village buildings, etc.
3. Freshmen shall greet all faculty members, campus guests and students with the customary "hello" or similar greeting.
4. The regulation freshman button shall be worn conspicuously from time of registration until four weeks after classes begin.
5. Freshmen shall learn the Alma Mater and all freshman rules and shall be required to pass an examination on the same.

By Muddlehead
Well, it looks like the average fresh- man age is getting somewheres back to normal. I am glad of that; one of the most difficult things last year was telling the frosh from the profs.
Science is wonderful dept: With the greatest crowd of students attend- ing college in the history of the na- tion, science has turned some of its finest minds towards easing the lot of all of us. Perfected inventions that are on the market at the moment:
Helium capsules that can be taken internally for students who can't seem to get up for their eight o'clocks.
Rotating necks for backward stu- dents (like Dave Nixon) so they can see where they are going.
Married couple special: they have raised storks with curved backs so they can deliver babies in trailers.
Headache pills for students that nev- er get headaches, but want to get an infirmary excuse.
Large pots with the students' names and addresses on them for those who are always losing them in poker games.
BUT science in its inconsistent way- has not completely be«n in favor of us: This is a WARNING to you peo- ple who are planning on making a tour of the night spots in the sur- rounding area. Most of the places have installed revolving headwalters so they can take your money both coming and going.
I was utterly amazed to glance in the Union t'other night. Everybody in there looked like they were watch- ing a tennis game. Tennis in the Union? I couldn't believe it. But it was easily explained, though. They were only watching Sandra Rubin rumba.
Flash—three Alfred students suffer heart attacks after receiving a letter irom Registrar Potter telling them to come in and pick out their major.
They thought that they were drafted again.
Nice dance up at South Hall Friday night. Sig Wuerslin and his cohorts should be complimented highly. See,
"Sig," I still say nice things about you even if you won't introduce me to those transfers from Jamestown.
Warning to Freshman Women Dep't: Don't speak to Joe Chorney;
don't be seen with Joe Chorney;
don't be caught dead with Joe Chor- ney. There, I guess that squares us up Joe for you feeding me that moth- ball the other night and telling me it was a piece of candy.
Well Benjamin Underwood (my typewriter) having sneaked out and joined the C.I.O. during the summer, I have to work by the clock now.
Reminder to Profs. Dep't—The new style trends—longer skirts at cetera has nothing to do with assignments.

C. Me Williams Named Coach
Of Basketball
This year, with the largest number of students Alfred has ever witnessed the Athletic Department is confront- ed with the task of providing physical training supervision for all registered P. E. students, besides fielding the various teams to represent the Uni- versity in the Intercollegiate sports world. In order to facilitate such an accelerated program, the addition of Physical Education staff members is essential.
Recently, Director of Athletics James A. McLane announced the ap- pointment of Charles Jay McWilliams
CHARLES J. McWIUUAMS of Ebensburg, Pa., as coach of Al- fred University's varsity basketball team.
After discharge in June, 1944, Mc- Williams taught at V.M.I., also serving as line coach for football and as var- sity basketball coach. He completed his studies last month at Springfield, Mass., for the master's degree in physical education.
McWilliams assumed his duties at Alfred on Sept. 2, as assistant to var- sity football Coach Alex Yunevich, at the start of the pre-season grid train- ing session.
Coach McLane also announced the appointment of Nicholas Obuhanick as Assistant Freshman football coach.
He is a former Alfred letter man in both basketball and football from 1934 to 1937. A native of Elmira, he saw service several years ago as a New York State Trooper, and at pres- ent is studying for his master's degree at Alfred.
Alfred Loses To Bucknell
(Continued from page one) After the score Alfred received the kickoff and again put themselves in scoring position with a beautifully ex- ecuted pass play. Curran passed to Spitulnik for 38 yards to Bucknell's 12-yard line. Here another fumble nullified the Saxon scoring attempt, Bucknell going on to score again. After another drive by Alfred, they fumbled again and Bucknell's McKay picked the fumble out of mid-air and turned in the longest run of the game for the Bisons. Scoring once more on another fumble, Bucknell ended their drives and filled the game with substitute.

This week-end the Alfred Univer- sity football squad meets the St.
Lawrence gridders for the firs^ home game of the current season. In their opener with St. Bonaventure at Olean on Sept. 21, the Larries showed con- siderable fighting ability despite their defeat by three touchdowns. This first contest on our home field will prove to be a whale of a match, so don't miss it. The traditional Alfred rooting section is locat'ed on the East side of the gridiron, apposite the main entrance to Merrill Field. It is recommended that everyone enter the field through the main gate. There is a wire fence thrown around the field this year, so don't take any chances of getting hung up on same.
Alpha Phi Omega will handle the ushering assignment as competently as last year. The new University Band, conducted by Mr. Olin Johnson of Alfred-Almond will provide the en- tertainment between halves. With the addition of the new bleachers Merrill Field can easily handle 4500 spectators. All Alfred section specta- tors are requester to stay on the gravel paths in crossing to the East side of the> Field rather than cross on the grass. Your thoughtfulness in this instance will be appreciated.
Coach Yunevich and Assistant Coach McWilliams have done wond- ers in readying a squad that has had a good share of hard luck ni- juries during pre-season, but one which is ready to go all out in se- curing its enviable record of last year.
With promises of being bigger and better than ever, the Alfred Univer- sity Intramural Sports program wel- comes the entire student body. Get set for the touch football league games and get your entries into Coach Min- nick's office as soon as your team is organized.

Girls Sports
Mary Ann Goodrich
If any Frosh girls are interested in making sports on of their extra-cur- ricular activities during their college career, the best time to get started is NOW. Probably some have met the Women's Athletic Governing Board Monday night at South Hall. That get together should have presented the over-all picture of the girls' sports program here. However, the only way to get fully acquainted is to come out for sports right away. Hockey, tennis, volleyball, badminton, archery and table tennis start within the next two weeks, so all should watch for signs posted in the dorms telling when and where.
The Planning Committee of the
Frosh, Transfer Women
There will be a compulsory- meeting of all freshman and trans- fer women at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday (tonight) in Physics Hall, accord- ing to Marie Cherichetti '48, WSG president.
WAGB planned last night's get to- gether. Norma Jacox was chairman of the refreshment icommittee, Helenja Bayko chairman of the set-up commit- tee, and Barbara Theurer chairman of the publicity committee.
Norma Jacox, manager of tennis, has asked that all those who signed up for the termis tourneys find out when they are scheduled to play, and play at that time. Otherwise, they will forfeit their game.
