STUDENTS TAKE
A Jaunt to the "Libe"
Glee Club Makes Four School Trip
Four high schools heard the Alfred University Male Glee Club today.
The men sang at Arkport High School at 9:00 o'clock this morning, at Wayland High School at 10:45, at Haverling High School in Bath at 1:15 and at
School at 2:45.
Hammondsport High
The house or dorm is too noisy, so you decide to take a little jaunt to the "libe" as it is fondly termed.
As you lope up the steps, all the tumult and the shouting that you may have been making, dies' in mid-air.
Silence is> the first rule for inside.
So, you step inside the door and look about you. Care in the proper selection of a table is of primary im- portance. You must be where you can see the entrance and departure of everyone. You must consider who- ever may be at the desired table or in its immediate vicinity. Compatibility is a great help to your evening.
Must Remove Coat
When your location is finally de- termined, you must remove coat, and deposit books, pen, pencil, and paper on the table. The next step is to test the chair and make sure that it does not squeak. Some of them are known to do so, and you will only bring down the wrath of the other students ( not to mention the effect on your own nerves) if you sit on such a chair.
With the preliminaries out of the way, you saunter over to the desk, stopping en route to view the latest exhibit or to leaf through the newest novel. When you do ask for the book
you want, you receive the happy in- formation that it is already Im use.
You ask the name of the individual who deliberately sneaked in and stole it from under your very nose. Upon instigating a search, you find the guilty one and extract a promise that you may have the book the very minute that he is through with it.
When you have done this, you feel as though you have done your duty for the time being.
Return To Table
Back you go to your table, stopping this time to sort through and read the newspapers this time. For other di- version, you sit down and look at those about you. You see some amaz- ing things: Stocking seams that aren't straight, chins that need shav- ing, dates in the making, and roman- ces in the flowering. You see a few people with glasses, who are reading books and writing down things. They are studying.
A friend comes in, sees you, and heads for your table. You greet him warmly, and lively conversation re- sults. But not for very long. Silence is the first rule for inside.
In extreme desperation, you turn to an assignment and try to procure the book for it. This second time you are likely to be successful; or, the early

Band Uniform Drive Reaches $300 Goal
The Band Uniform Drive ended Fri- day night as the thermometer reached the $300 mark. The exact figures are not available as yet, since all contri- butions from pledges have not been re-|
ceived.
This campaign for uniforms will mean a great deal to the University, student body, and band in the near future, and it has only been accom- plished with the invaluable aid of various groups on the campus.
The Band is indebted to the Blue Key and its members for their con- tinual assistance, to the Fiat Lux for the support it graciously gave to the drive, and to the Women's1 Student Government for its moral support and financial aid.
The Band would like to thank the following groups and persons on the campus whose monetary contributions, spontaneously given., helped the band reach its goal: President J. Nelson Norwood, Blue Key, Theta Gamma, Student Senate, Lambda Chi, Senior Class, Pi Alpha, Women's Student Government, Kappa Nu and Sigma Chi.
It is impossible to list all the con- tributions from the faculty and stu- dent body, so the Band wishes to ex- tend its sincere gratitude to everyone who in any way participated or sup- ported the drive.
H A L F - H O L I D A Y ANNOUNCED Special attention is called to the fact that there will be no classes Thursday afternoon, fol- lowing the assembly. All seniors will be dismissed from classes at 10:30 A. M. to permit them to change to caps and gowns.
bird who got the book-(wonn) may have decided that he can relinquish it to you. At any rate, you find some- thing to do and earnestly apply your- self.
The unearthly, shattering sound of the gong jerks you to your feet, and you must cease work. Too bad. You put on coat, pick up books, pen, pencil, and paper from the table. You are free.
Two minor innovations have been introduced by this year's Senate which has allocated funds for two loving cups, one for the women's soft- ball game and the other for the step singing contest.
Juniors, sophomores, and freshmen will start the ball rolling by reaching Alumni Hall as soon as possible after their 10:00 o'clock classes in order to be seated when the cap and gown procession of seniors'and administra- tive officers file in to the strains of the orchestra.
New Prexy Will Bow
The musical end of the program is next in line with the singing of
"Where, Oh, Where" by the student body, two selections by the orchestra, and vocalizing by the Women's Glee Club, the Men's Glee Club and the Men't Quartet.
Retiring Student Senate President, Charles Rosenberg, will make his an- nouncements and will introduce the new president, Ralph Rhodes, who will read the list of newly elected campus officers. The platform will then be turned over to the honor so- cieties, Phi Psi Omega, Pi Delta Mu, and Blue Key, who 'will tap new members.
Following the tapping, Russell Par- dee '41, president of the senior class, will present the senior cane to George Kellogg '42, next year's senior head.
Closing the program, President J.
Nelson Norwood, will make his an- nual speech and will make the honor- ary awards.
Juniors To Leave First Juniors will leave the Kail first, lining up beside the walk to Kenyon Chapel, the sophomores will follow, lining up after the juniors and the freshmen will repeat the procedure, backing up the sophomores. The;
seniors, leaving the hall last, wilt march through the aisle to Kenyon Hall, and the entire student body will sing the Alma Mater accompanied by Prof. Wingate on the carillon.
Frosh, sopns i o compete The afternoon's program will be in- augurated by the freshman and sopho- more women who will vie with each other in a Softball contest at the prac- tice field. Immediately following will come the day's highlight, the dog-eat- dog pushball contest between fresh- man and sophomore men.
The campus vocal talent is sched- uled for airing at 7:00 o'clock in the evening on Kenyon Chapel steps with groups of ten or less competing for a cup. Any entries should be^ handed to Jim Wygant at Lambda Chi as soon as possible. The judges will be faculty members, and the singing cup and contest cups will be presented to the winners during intermission at the free Moving-Up Day Dance in the gym. The hop will start immediately after the step-singing with recorded music. Twelve o'clock permission has been secured for women.

Dignity to be the Key-note
Dignity is to be the key-note, of the Moving-Up Day assembly which is to be held Thursday. In the past this dignity has been some- what interrupted by the loud stamp of feet at various times between 11:00 and 11:15. Late-comers stumbling over feet in an effort to get to their places, cause a commotion that up-sets the whole pro- gram. In addition to the stamp of feet there is the noise caused by the twisting necks. Not that we mean that the necks of the curious creek, but the students do make noise when they turn their heads to see who is coming in.
Freshmen, sophomores and juniors, are asked to be in their places promptly at 11:00. Then there will, be nothing to interfere with the procession of the seniors and administrative officers who are to march to the assembly from the library.
Coming: Examinations
Within three weeks begins the period of reckoning for Alfred University students. The coming of spring to Alfred is heralded by a moving-out-of-doors process. Students who have spent the winter doing a variety of things, including studying, are now pay- ing particular attention to outdoor sports, picnics and informal so- cial gatherings on the campus.
After a cold winter, who is there that doesn't welcome the warm sunshine. Buj;, on the other hand, the examination period near at hand is" not to be forgotten, at least not by those who would wish to leave a fine record for themselves. College life is designed to give a broad education, but the academic side should not take a back seat for the social side which is particularly pleasing at this time of year. Therefore, think not only of today and this week's pleasure, but think also of the critical judgment of a few weeks hence. ' '

Keep Campus Grounds Tidy
In assembly Thursday, President J. Nelson Norwood stressed the importance of keeping the grounds in front of his office free from papers. It is important that all students cooperate in this matter since this is one of the first places on the campus that visitors notice.
SomehQW papers and junk have found their way into the Kana- kadea in front of Burdiek Hall. These may have been dropped there by careless students or they may have been blown there from the lawn. At any rate they do detract from the beauty of our campus.
A little care with papers will keep this spot, which is normally at- tractive, one of which we can be proud.
It is essential that students cooperate with the grounds com- mittee in keeping the campus attractive.
It Can Be Done
The successful conclusion of the drive for band uniforms proves that when students are really interested in a project, they are willing to work and make it a success. The question of band uniforms has been discussed by the students for a njimber of years and it is cer- tainly a commendation for this present student generation that the program was finally carried out.
The enthusiasm shown by students for this enterprise might well be carried over into some other fields of campus activity.
ACP—Barnard is the latest college to introduce a course in de- velopment of American institutions.
The course, according to Dean Virginia C. Gildersleeve, will in- clude a study of the state, the family, business enterprises, the school, the church, class structure, and the community. It will be a con- tinuation and expansion of a course in American studies given for the first time this college year.
"There are in the United States far more universities, colleges and other operating institutions, and far more voluntary organiza- tions for worthy purposes than the nation can possibly afford. In the years to come many of these are bound to disappear." Dr. Frede- rick P. Keppel, president of the Carnegie Corporation of New York, predicts a weeding out of universities and philanthropies.—ACP.
Editor's Mailbag
Editor, Fiat Lux:
For the entire year, our Senate, like any other Senate in former years, has been criticised. Now that we are through, may I say in behalf of the Senate that we really have not minded it. As a matter of fact we have wel- comed it. It se.ems that the men and women on our campus will only open their mouths and minds in a critical tone. If that was the only way w e ' could get a concensus of opinion, all well and good. We tried to encourage it. If students stopped criticising we would have no method of peering into their minds, and then we would be at a complete loss.
You all realize that the minds of eleven student senators are not cap- able of conceiving all of the necessary reforms in an ordinary college year.
The Senate was not set up for the purpose of thinking up reforms. They were put there to act on reforms. The founders of the system felt that the student body was capable of doing the thinking, and the Senate, the judging.
There was only one fallacy in the system these founders set up. They took it for granted that the students would gladly r u n to the first Senate meeting to bring up their propositions.
Yes, they even had dreams of event- ually using Alumni Hall as a meeting room to accomodate the crowds. A normal student body does have many new ideas constantly coming up. A normal student would like to see his ideas carried into effect. Therefore, the founders felt that that normal student would gladly sacrifice a few minutes of one evening to bring action on his project. It hasn't worked out that way. That was the fallacy!
A few students have come to our meetings. They have seen their pro- positions come into being. We take off our hats to them and thank them, heartily. Most of our students find that they cannot spare the time. They do have well-planned ideas and opin- ions, but they seem to lack the cour- age of their convictions. They merely stand in front of the post-office all day all day handing out these opinions freely. We even thank them. They are serving a useful purpose.
There is only one type of critic for which we have no thanks. He is. a common pest of mankind—he criticises merely for the sake of criticising. It is his method of making sure he is heard. He wants people to hear hi»
voice and name. He will not usually make concrete statements. If he does, he is not particularly interested in the truth. Disraeli once said, "It is much easier to be critical than correct". Or, as Socrates put it many years before,
"Wind puffs up empty bladders; opin- ions, fools."
Such was the case of the author of that Fiat editorial last week. He wrote a biting editorial, used no care with words, facts or truths, set his imagination at work, and gave us the mess he called an editorial. I won't say that he is a liar. That is' im- polite. But he certainly made some glaring, erroneous, and exaggerated statements. Certainly, our author is not well informed about everything about Alfred and the Student Senate, especially when you remember that our authoritative author has not at- tended so much as one single Senate meeting during the entire year. He based all his facts on erroneous infor- mation—information that he garnered by walking into the voting office, fill- ing out a ballot, and walking right out again, a process which took him two minutes. What a basis for the state- ments he made!
Our esteemed author claimed that
"a good share of the time only one election officer was on duty in the office". "A good share of the time"
consists of somewhere between four and six minutes on Thursday after- noon. At all other times, two or more election officers were always present.
He also felt that "one person could not possible handle the crowds". Has he ever tried it? We, who have, seem to feel that even a person with a sub- normal intelligence could handle the job. I'll bet that even he could have done it. But even at that we did have two senators present. Our author spoke of "ample opportunity to vote as many times as they wished." Can he explain how anyone could possibly vote more than once if the names of the students were checked off a list and individual ballots were handed out personally by the Senators? He went on to make a dozen such beauti- fully phrased statements., definitely without foundation. That, he called an editorial.

COLLEGE TOWN
By the Editors
Beware! Take care! There are Nazi agents in the New York State College of Ceramics! Their activities have already won over (at the latest count) ten persons, including one member of the faculty.
This discovery was made known to a startled world last Friday by a farmer's wife residing near Stony Brook Park. As she was peacefully pursuing her customary activities on her hill-farm, she caught sight of a group "of suspicious-looking individ- uals with sketch pads surveying her property (no doubt on the lookout for military objectives).
Was she daunted? Did she scream for the minions of the law? Nay, this courageous woman hailed the nearest member of the party and de- manded that the intruders remove themselves from her immediate proxi- imity—or, as she put it, "You get off my land, you Nazi spies!"
This intrepid female, probably a member in good standing of the local D.A.R., would doubtless have been gratified to learni that, before their day of nefarious activity was con- cluded, several members of the party got their swastika arm-bands all wet by tumbling into the swift and frigid waters of the brook.
All students are hereby warned against the infiltration of alien propa- ganda and the spread of sinister subversive activities via the Ceramic College!
entire sentiments of this campus are behind the British People.
After all the mental aid which we so generously bestowed on Britain, it is about time that we, too, as a Student Body, give some material aid.
How about having the fraternities and sororities on this campus take notice of the "Anti-Corsage Dances" in favor of a "Buttons for Britain Campaign".
We are sure that" the girls of this campus would favor Buttons today in- stead of "Poppies" in the future.

After reading the Collegiate Digest this week, it was more than interest- ing to read about the new "fad" at

Editor, Fiat Lux:
Referring to the letter written by Mr. Rolland M. Ross, that appeared in the Fiat last Tuesday, we admit that the situation, as far as the Interfra- terniy Council is concerned, is an unusual one. However there are several obvious disadvantages to the Ag School, which will be introduced if the Ag fraternities become mem- bers of the Alfred University Inter- fraternity Council.
1. If the Ag School fraternities were to become members of the Uni- versity Interfraternity Council, their rushing rules and customs would necessarily need to be altered to con- form with ours.
2. An alteration of Ag School rush- ing to conform with ours would lead to one of two things:
a. All male students at Alfred re- gardless of the school they attend, will be invited to all fraternities dur- ing the rushing season. This is ob- viously absurd because, at the pres- ent time Ag School students are not pledged to University fraternities.
This situation would lead to a waste of time and money.
b. All Ag School students would be invited to the Ag "fraternities during rushing season. This is a physical and financial impossibility for the two fraternities.
3. Students at the Ag School at- tend classes only two years, or but a fraction of lack of three years. This makes impossible the carrying out of a long range program with the co- operation of Ag School fraternities.
The only evident advantage of Ag school fraternities, if they are mem- bers of the University Interfraternity Council, is a social one.
The annual Interfraternity Ball at Alfred is one of the two outstanding social events of the year. Unfortu- nately, this event is so popular that the gym is crowded beyond capacity, making it impossible to provide dan- cing and lounging room for any more couples.
We hope that we have settled a few of the questions that have arisen regarding this situation.
As far as intramural athletics and other campus activities are concerned, we hardly feel that we are the right organization to question.
The Interfraternity Council feels that any action on this matter to change existing conditions so that co- operation between Ag School and Uni- versity Fraternities should originate higher up.
Very truly yours, CARL KAHN,

Here's a spot of hot news that is really quite interesting, and illustra- tive of the subtle changes in t h e music business.
Gene Krupa has recently augmented his orchestra by the addition of one trumpet-player. This is important in two ways: the musician is that high- register miracle-man, Roy Eldridge, who formerly bossed a hot Negro band; Krupa is" following the lead of his former maestro, Benny Goodman, in defying the tradition of the com- mercial music business, which holds that colored and white musicians should not play together, meaning that mixed bands are OUT. While Eldridge plays only in the capacity of a featured soloist, his. presence with Krupa denotes the trend towards com- bining the talents of both Negro and white musicians in the production of better music. In the future, there will, doubtlessly, be less discrimina- tion of race, which will contribute a great deal to the further progress' of our music.
• * *
The subdued low-register thrilling of clarinets distinguishes the fine danceable music of Johnny Long, and his orchestra, from N.Y.C's. Roseland Ballroom. Johnny has been in the business ever since the formation of his band at Duke University, and, aided tremendously by his wonderful personality, he has steadily climbed up the well-worn ladder. The top is finally in sight for this fine group, which plays good hot, and equally en- joyable sweet.
* * *
Spain has contributed to the world's stock of music, both in the classics and the dance field. In addition to its material donations, it hasi given u s numerous artists in both fields.
Xavier Cugat, who is credited •with making the music of his1 country-men popular in our nation, is a fine exam- ple of the excellent musicanship which is typical of the Latin race. Cugat's orchestra features rhumbas, tangos, and congas, but its unlimited reper- toire enables it to exhibit its versat- ility in playing the usual type of music connected with commercial groups. It would not be possible to say that Cugat's organization is the best of its kind, but we can safely state that it is among leaders. Cugat's regular Thursday evening program comes over the NBC network at 7:30 o'clock. '
Victor Records give us a jazz col- lector's item in Sidney Bechet's cut- ting of Coal Black Shine, and Baby, Won't You Please Come Home. Henry Allen and J. C. Higginbotham both shine in this.

With Moving-Up Day com- ing up on Thursday, and the impending "softies" <*ame of pushball following the morn- ing ritualistic exercises, we have notice that there is a definite lack of rivalry and good-natured hate beween the combatants—-the class of '44 and the class of '43. Usually at this time of year the menu calls for various threats of one kind or another being brought out by spirited members of both classes. The rivalry
•waxes hotter and hotter until on Moving-Up Day the feeling is In- tense, and the ball game or fight is truly a corker with the gallant warriors from eacft class out to uphold their class traditions.
Such was' the case last year and Moving-Up Day was a huge suc- cess. Such has been the case in previous years—as we understand it—and we would like to see such be the case this year—ALL P R O S H AND S O P H MEN PLEASE TAKE NOTE!

At the Ithaca track meet last Wednesday afternoon, H a r o l d Glinsky, Alfred's hope in the javelin throw, apparently thought he had 3rd place copped in his event, and was in the locker rest- ing when one of the managers came barging in to inform him that an Ithaca man had beaten his throw for third place. Called on to do his duty, Glinsky again donned his shoes and proceeded to outheave his challenging opponent by a rather large margin. Quot- ing Coach Yunevich—"It just goes to show the part psychology plays in this game"—

Overheard in a baseball discus- sion between two hot fans: A staunch backer of the St. Louis Browns was expounding on the merits of his ball club, and the recipient of the remarks rapidly was becoming filled to the hilt with the aggressor's babble. Fin- ally he brought up the fact that the Brownies weren't quite as high in the league standings as their apparent greatness should
warrant.
"Shucks" replied the Brownie
fan, "we can't win them all!" Atpresent the St. Louis club is play- ing about .200 ball.

Apparently, unless Mike Greene breaks a record every time he tosses the shot or the discus, his ardent admirers, of which he has a great many, are sorely disap- pointed. In sporting circles, the man who wins is usually the best man—whether he breaks records or not—and certainly Mike has proved that has been the best man in many instances. His double wins in the shot and discus have added many points to the Alfred score—.look for a new set up as far as Intramural league business is concerned in the future—Per- haps a little late, but Alfred's team in the Penn Relays did a wonderful job in so far as Saxon laurels are concerned — Running against the cream of the crop of runners, the McLane coached men tnrned in very creditable per- formances in the relay races, and also in the field events . . . .

THINGS WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE:—Some sort of Intra- mural Athletics to occupy the minds of the men who do not artlcipate in Varsity Cross Coun- try or football in the fall seasons . . . . We would suggest an Intra- mural Touch Football league for campus competition in the fall . . . Any comments on this suggestion will be very welcome from all concerned . . . . other suggestions for competition during the fall will also fall in line with our ef- fort* to inaugurate some fall sports activity . . . .
Taking firsts in all of the track events, the Alfred University track team, for the second suc- cessive year, trounced the track- men from Ithaca College by a score of 8 5 ^ - 4 5 ^ in a meet held at Merrill Field last Wednesday afternoon.
Double wins by "Tex" Smith in both hurdles races, and Everett Leahy in the hundred and two twenty yard dashes coupled with Mike Green's
1duo in the shot put and discus throw led the Alfred men in scoring. Other outstanding performances included Roger Marks winning the four-forty yard dash, and Frank Morley taking the mile. The four-fifths of a mile re- lay was won by the Saxon team handily as Marks the lead oft man gave his teammates a lead which they never relinquished.

Two Win Gold Pins In Stenography
Two students in advanced steno- graphy convinced the judges recently that they could write "chicken tracks" at the rate of 120 words per minute and then read them back accurately, so now these two secre- tarial stooges, Jean Fitzgerald '43 and Alice Schryver '42 are sporting pretty little gold pins for their dex- terous accomplishments.
Runners up in the test are quite pleased with the certificates given for the 100 words-per-minute accomplish- ments. Holders of these certificates are Judith Clausen '42, Barbara Hill '42, Dorothy Pertain '41, Frances Po- lan '42, Elaine Richtmyer '41, Carole Sheldon '41, and Myra Whitney '42, besides the two expert pen pushers mentioned above.
Several students are now grooming themselves for the ink-spreading monthly tests now being given in the hopes of soon acquiring the coveted gold pins. After winning the pins, they will then try for the 140-word, and the 150-word awards.
Glee Club Sings For Schoolmasters
For the past week Alfred Univer- sity's Glee Club and Male Quartet have been displaying an unusual amount of activity. High-light of the week was the program put on by both singing groups under the direction of Professor Ray Wingate for the Alle- gany-Steuben county banquet, Tues- day night, at the Brick.
Last Sunday morning the University Male Quartet sang at the Park Church in Hornell. Sunday night, the same group sang at the University Church here in Alfred^
Monday afternoon, the Ladies' Glee Club sang at the Community Club House. Professor Wingate gave a song recital at the Dairymen's League meeting, Monday night.
Registrar Gives Campus Indicies
1.34 was the index of the entire University for the first semester of this year, according to statistics com- piled at the Registrar's, office. The all-campus index at the same time last year was 1.29.
The faculty scholarship cups award- ed semi-annually were won for this semester by Theta Theta Chi for the women's groups with 1.61 as their index and by the non-fraternity men with an index of 1.32.

MT.Frosh Coeds Overpower Juniors in Softball
Clouting with all the visciousness of an enraged Joe Louis, the Fresh- man women's Softball team battered their way to an overwhelming victory over a hapless Junior team by a 35-7 score last Saturday morning.
T"he Frosh hit hard and often and the Junior women were powerless against them. Each team played with only six players lining up as follows:
Frosh Juniors Peg Hopkins Millie Pivetz Jean Gates Betty Jane Curry Peg Ohlander Betty Baldridge Rhoda Large Esther Miller Margaret Gibbo Sally Jane Morris Helen Bell Eleanor Jensen

Education Receives Two Alfred Seniors
Two graduating seniors have re- ceived teaching positions. They are Miss Jane Colberg, who will teach French and Latin in the Andover Cen- tral School, and Kenneth Ripley, who will teach Mathmatics at the Alfred- Almond Central School.
Eight Alfred alumni have received new positions. They are James D.
Sproul '32, who has been appointed District Superintendent of Schools of Cattaraugus County. He was the former principal of Castile High School.
Whalen Livermore '29, who taught Science at the Malone High School, has been appointed District Superin- tendent of Schools of Franklin County.
Otto Seward, M. A, '40, has now taken over the District Superintendency of Livingston County.
David J. Neil '40, has accepted a position with the Liberty Mutual In- surance Company at Buffalo. He is working in the claim department.
Faculty Members Liberal Contributors
Faculty members and staff at Al- fred University have contributed more than $30,000 toward the support of the University since 1930, said Presi- dent J. Nelson Norwood in the last faculty meeting.
"Faculty members have contributed to the support of the University all during its 104 years," he added; "else it wouldn't be here".
In each of the last two specially directed finance programs, one in 1930. the other in 1935-36^ the aver- age contribution was over $200; the smallest was ?5; the largest $2,000.
Thus the average donation for the 10- year period was near $500; the aver- age donated each year was about
$3,000.
Under the new finance program set up this spring and directed by W.
Harold Reid, A. U. '20, the University officials hope to liquidate the outside indebtedness of the University within a few years.

Main topic of conversation among the Saxonette warriors this week is Softball . . . . Frosh and soph women are especially interested as they meet on moving up day speaking of Sophs did you see Lambda Chi Alpha giving the soph gals practice last toeek on the archery field behind the gym?
. . . . Also the worn spots in front of Kenyan resulted when the sophomores, on their way to practice, found that they had no bat, and so decided to stop there and have a catch so far it sounds as though the Sophs have had all the practice, but numer- ous Frosh women have been spending their spare moments playing catch and striving to raise the batting averages Yes, Thursday is Mov- ing- up day and even with all their determination the sophs are going to have a hard time of it the Frosh are good, powerful . . . and will be out to win. . . .

The song of a well-strung racquet connecting with a well-hit ball is the song to which many women are dancing this spring. Nor do these musicians seem to be union workers for their song and dance begins at six in the morning and lasts until eight or nine at night. Every one of the 16 women who signed up for the spring tennis tourney is flriding out that the other participants are better than she thought and that having a consolation tournament may not be such a bad idea after all.

"Who's Who"
Eight Alfred seniors are represent- ed in the latest volume of Who's Who in American Universities and Colleges which will be released the second week in May.
Those who achieved this award, based on scholarship and extra-curri- cular activities are Betty Tim Kaiser, James Francis Lynch, Franklin Per- shing Morley, Morris Charles Mus- grave, Elisabeth Jeannette Olshovy, Russell Edgar Pardee, Charles Har- vey Rosenberg, and Robert - Arthur Whitwood.
As stated by the editors of the pub- lication, the purpose of Who's Who is to serve: as an incentive for stu- dents to get the most out of their college career; as a means of compen- sation to students for what they have already done; as a standard of meas- urement for students comparable to such agencies as Phi Beta Kappa and the Rhodes Scholarship Award; as a recommendation to the business world.
