Students Plan Big Pep Rally Thursday Nite

Will Meet At 7:15 O'clock In Front of Post Office- Bonfire At Athletic Field

—Late Permission Grant- ed Women To Attend Show

One of the biggest pep rallies ever staged for an Alfred University football team will be held Thursday night at Merrill Athletic Field. The student body will meet at 7:15 o'clock In front of the post office before start- ling their inarch to tftie field behind the college (band.

Practice will be as the student body marches on to the field and many see for the first time the team that is to defend the purple and gold for the 1934 gridiron season. Coach John Gal- loway has consented to call practice off at this time so that the team may be present for the duration of the rally.

On the farther side of the tackling dummy and in view of the field where Alfred history shall shortly be in making, will be lighted the huge monfire 'which is one of Alfred's many tradi- tions. Harry Greene, superintendent of grounds, is piling wood now for the fire and on Tuesday and Wednes- day afternoon, Rudy Cohen, campus administrator, has appointed freshmen men to ihelp in this work, under the supervision of Bob Poppetti and Tom Carewe on Tuesday and Chuck Hopkins and Chuck Reilly on Wednes- day.

Because of a special show, "The House of Rothschild," women have been granted late permission, provid- ing that they attend the picture.

Special slips will be provided for checking. Only through the cooperation and mast appreciative interest on the part of Dean Irwin A. Conroe and Dean Dora K.' Degen, was this made possible. The Fiat Lux at this time 'wishes to express on behalf of the student body their sincere appre- ciation for this consideration.

First Call

Issued For Yearlings

Freshman Gridders Will Play First of Four Game Schedule Against Elmira There On Oct. 13

With the first call tor candidates for Alfred University's yearling gird team Issued Monday by Coach Frank Lo- 'baugh, the student body today "was

•wondering just what the next three weeks will develop in the way of tresihmen team to defend the past out- etand record established.

The first game scheduled for the Freshmen outfit is against a reputedly Strong Elmira High School outfit. It Will Ibe played on Saturday afternoon, October 13, in Elmira, and will be the first on a schedule of four games. At this early date, of course, it Is im- irossible to make any predictions.

However, from a preliminary "bird's- eye-view" of some of the freshmen, a rugged team is not too much to ex- pect.

According to reports, a number of men in the class showed marked albility as gridmen in high school. But these reports, however, will not add any to their ability as college gridmen—the have yet to prove that. On the other hand, It is better to hear euch reports as have sifted into the ears of this correspondent, than reports of Uhe opposite nature.

Of the four games that the Fresh vrill play this season, two are away and two at home. Elmira, whom they play first on Oct. 13, and Niagara Frosh, with whom they play their final game on Nov. 3, are unknown truantitiesi Cook Academy on Oct.

20 and Genesee Wesleyan on Oct. 25, are known from last year. Both teams played a brilliant game.

Registration Runs Even

To Last Year's Figures

Enrollment Not Completed, However—20 Less Fresh-

men—Increase In Upper Class Students

Total registrations for Alfred Uni- versity's College of Liberal Arts and New York State College of Ceramics today was running evert with corres- ponding figures at the same time last year, it was learned from Registrar Waldo A. Titsworth, who said, "our fondest hopes are being realized".

At time of interview, 548 students were definitely registered. On another list of what migilit be called

"undecided" were the names of another score or more of students. In this list the registrar knew definitely that from seven to twelve students would register late. The others may or may not return.

The 548 corresponds with exactly the same number registered at the same time last year. However, before registration was totally completed last year 560 had been registered. With the prospective list so promising though, it is believed that the 560 total will again be reached this year.

Because the incoming class of Freshmen and specials was about 20 less than last year, Registrar Tits^

worth a few days ago felt that the total registration might show a de- crease. Fifteen more upperclassmen already had registered to date than did last year, which in the long run will probably bring the totals up even, Ihe said.

These figures do not include the registration of the New York State School of Agriculture, which is under Jurisdiction of the University. The School of Agriculture is of secondary classification and does not open its sessions until Oct. 1. The registration for the Theological Seminary also is not included.

Freshmen Class Given Reception

In Social Hall

Tine traditional Freshman reception was held in Social Hall, Wednesday evening. The A. U. C. A. and Y. W.

C. A. were sponsors of the affairs, which was attended by approximately two hundred Freshmen

Mrs. Seidlin and Mrs. Reynolds en- tertained with selections chosen especially for the occasion. The presi- dents of the organizations, Helen Olney and Albin Anderson, spoke con- cerning the purposes of, and the part that A. U. C. A. and W. W. C. A. serve on Alfred's campus. President Nor- wood and Chaplain McLeod addressed the incoming students and welcomed them to Alfred.

After the program the Freshmen conversed informally with the faculty and representatives of various student groups. Part of the guests were served ice cream and cookies In the din- ing room, while others danced.

musical numbers and will be staged in Alumni Hall.

Colorful Oriental costumes and the necessary scenery will be designed and made by ceramic art students. Prof.

Ray Wingate will direct the performance. It is expected that the traditional choral presentation will be sung by a chorus of 100, with seven individual characters.

Last year the Unversity Chorus, composed of more than sixty men and women's voices, sang Mendelsohn's oratrio "Hymn of Praise". Two years ago their offering was "The Messiah".

The second floor has nine rooms, of- fices and recitation rooms for professors Seidlin, Polan and Whitford of the mathematics department, Profes- sor McNatt of the economics department, and Professors Potter and Kauffman of the physics department.

Special Laboratory

In the basement are three general laboratories and a special laboratory which will probably be used by the physics majors for special work.

NEW REGISTRATION PLAN

INTRODUCED THIS FALL

As all enrolled upper-class students know and with the freshman class experience, a new method of registration was installed this year by Regis- trar Waldo A Titsworth. There were several reasons for the change.

In 1933-34, the department realized trouble in class sectioning, necessita- ting a change to control the enrollment to large classes. Therefore Registrar Titsworth commupnicated with the University of Iowa and the University of Illinois for possible sug- gestions to aid this flagrant need.

Professor Norman Whitney, who graduated from Alfred University in 1917, came to Alfred at request of Registrar Titsworth to help with the new system. The⁴ method is based on a plan which Prof. Whitney helped instigate at Syracuse University 10 years ago.

Many hours of the summer months were spent in devising a procedure to fit our particular needs. The schedule hand book was patterned after that of Syracuse, only on a much smaller scale.

The evolution of our system made possible for students to see advisory officers of different courses and then proceed to where the program committee arranged the work cards and class cards. As was necessary a staff of guards, inspectors and personnel was evolved.

The advantages of this business—

like manner of registering are not all known to the students. Before two people worked 20 hours to write single class cards. Now the Registration office has a auplicate record and with- which section of each course he is in.

out the aid of office staff. This means that the office will know just where each student is and just which section of each course he is in.

The different departments may tabu- late even before classes begin the number of people in each section and who they are. This allows them to pre- vent huge sections to a gTeat extent.

When there are special programs to be made such as for athletes, trans- fers and students with conflicts, the people necessary to toe seen are all in one building.

"With brilliant prospects for an outstanding season, a powerful but rather light Alfred University team of gridiron huskies opens its season Saturday night under the floodlights of Merrill Field against Defiance University of Ohio.

Under the guidance of Head Coach Galloway and Line Coach McLane, the team has gone through about three weeks of gruelling pre-season training in preparation for the Ohio outfit. Apparently, if the past scrimmages may be taken as a criterion, they are destined to go down in Saxon history as one of the best aggregations to ever repre- sent the Purple.

Third Clash

In this third year of competition be.

tween Alfred and Defiance the lads from Ohio will endeavor to break the spell that has Iheld them to defeat at the Saxon's hands for the two previous seasons. Defiance can always be. counted upon to produce a rugged and courageous team and this game on Saturday should display the true merits of both sides.

Eight veteran regulars will wear the Purple and Gold when the referee's starting whistle ushers in this new season of sport. Since Al«

'red lost only five regulars by gradu- ation, most of tine team have seen regular service last year and this 'actor should prove a considerable asset to the warriors.

Rudy Cohen, who last season was one of the most reliable mainstays of the line, has been shifted into the backfield this Fall and has shown remarkable progress as a blocking and running back. Boylan and Fire- Roger Corsaw

Picture Show After Rally

For Students

Late Permission Granted Women To See "House of Rothschild" — To Obtain Permission Must Attend Picture

"The House of Rothschild," one, of the year's outstanding pictures de- picting the power of finance during the Napoleonic Era, will be the feature film at Alumni Hall, to-night.

Late permission has been granted to women so that they may see the picture following the pep rally.

The show will be the first one, since college clashes actually got under way. The movies are being run under the auspices of the Alfred Co-operative Pictures—an organization headed by Dr. Gilbert Campbell, who is super- vising the paying off of the picture equipment, which eventually will become the property of the University.

"Some persons may not realize that not long ago, there were no motion pictures in Alfred. By this co-operative method of students and townspeople purchase of the equipment was made possible. Fine support in the past now has it almost paid for. Tf the fine demonstration of cooperation in the past ca n be continued this year, the equipment will soon be ours,"

said Dr. Campbell.

George Arliss plays the leading role in "Tfhe House of Rothschild".

A fine cast supports him. The plot is built around five brothers of the Rothschild family, who spread to five different countries to establish banks.

Their influence through finance makes up the story. In addition there is a two reel musical, "Story conference"

and a cartoon song entitled, "The Sunny South" A news reel also is included.

>very indication that tihey will con- tinue to do so. Eric Hodges is again at the helm as quarter-back and his improved speed and elusiveness should enable him to crack off even larger gains than those of 1933.

Looking 'Em Over

On the line, Coaches Galloway and McLane have developed redoubtable combination of ibrain and brawn.

Adessa will be (back at his old position of end, while Trumbull and Top- per, Iboth of whom are capable of playing good ball, will probably share the other end. Fedor and Chamber- lain are expected to plug the tackle holes as first string men, while Oorb- man, Gale and Smigrod all look good as guards. Perrone and Young will both fight for the regular keystone berth at center.

Among the promising sophomores are Shoemaker,- Farigone and Obex.

er-back, has surprised coaches, team*

mates alike by the distance and accuracy of his passes, while Farigone and Oberhanick need only experience to make first string line-men.

Alfred is playing a longer and tougher schedule than ever before, but the students, the faculty and the team are looking forward to making this another Record Year.

Facts Of War

Worth Knowing

The Thyssens, later the main sup- porters of Hitler, were found guilty of treason hecau.se they sold cannon shields to the French during the war.

Thousands of German soldiers were killed 'by Vickers hand grenades made with Krupp fuses, and that Krupp got 123,000,000 shillings royalty from Britain after the war.

Almost all the thousands of rifles used by "rebels" in Nicaragua, Haiti, etc., against the American Marines were made in New England and that the Nicaraguans iboast of their trusty

"Yanqum" guns.

Kaiser Wilhelm II was the largest stockholder in Krupps and made money on the great armament race which Sir Edward Grey called the main cause of the World War.

The contract of the Chilworth Gun- powder Company made with German and American gunpowder manufacturers provided in clause 30 for the

^exchange of the national secret for- mulae.

A woman was responsible for Basil Zaharoff's rise to power. He met the Marquesa on a train; she got him an order for $5,000,000 from Spain, and he married her 40 years later.

When Dr. Gatling of Chicago in- vented the Gatling Gun, President Lincoln did not believe in it, so Gat- ling organized workingmen at his plant, they joined a Union regiment against the Confederates, shot down many, then took their gun to Wash- ington again.

Zaharoff's companies made $7,000,- 000,000 in the World War.

French patriots sold thousands of tans of cynamide to the Germans during the war, shipping via Italy until 1915, then via Switzerland.

The second leading French armament makers, de Wendel, had a bro- ther who called himself von Wendel, in the German Reichstag.

That the Schneiders, de Wendels, Thyssens, Roechlings and other French and German patriots owne-d the Lorraine and Briey iron mines and smelters; that a French parliamentary Investigation showed the Franco-Ger- man industrialists prevented the French generals from bombing the mines and plants; that German, French and American generals declare that the war would have been won by the Allies in between 6 to 18 months, and not a single American life would have been lost, had the Briey "basin been attacked.

That American army headquarters insisted on attacking Briey in 1918 at the same time that a member of the War Industries Board insisted on a real blockade of Germany. Admiral Consett is authority for the state- ment that the war could have been won before 1918 if private business men had been stopped from dealing With the enemy.

Senators from the twelve American munitions producing states have voted 77 to 100 per cent in favor of every increase of expenditure and armament, whereas the majority of Sena- tors from the United States have in most instances voted in a contrary manner.

The three American warship building corporations, despite Baruch's plan "to take the profit out of war,"

are charging 32 per cent to 300 per cent more for ships now building than similar ships under construction in

England.

To Freshmen

Welcome! A word so familiar to Freshmen ears again rings out to them. This time it is from the voice of the student body waiting eagerly to assimilate its new strength.

The far cry from the "verdant Freshman" to the "grave old Senior" hails the possibilities for development that Alfred holds for these neophytes.

Splendid opportunities in newspaper work, dramatics, debate, athletics, music, intellectual pursuits, and social experience are provided for all, but unfortunately not all take advantage of them.

What this year's Freshman will be three years from now depends upon himself. Inevitably categories will be formed—the outstanding, the great middle throng, the insignificant. The individual, measuring himself with integrity, can insure his fulfillment.

THE RED CROSS FIELD

FOR COLLEGE MEN AND WOMEN Among the many calls upon college- trained men and women is that of volunteer service in the ranks of the American Red Cross. The qualities of temperament, as well as of mind, which make students and graduates so much in demand in business and in civic organizations, fit them ideally for the emergency and regular activities of local Red Cross Chapters, of which there are more than 3,700.

Last year, for instance, there were 78 disasters in the United States in which the Red Cross gave relief to sufferers. Although each had the benefit of the experience and general direction of trained Red Cross disaster workers, the bulk of the work was performed by local Chapters. The kind of teamwork found in football, basketball and other college sports was necessary to make effective the giving of shelter, food, medical at- tention, hospitalization and transporta- tion to victims of flood, fire and storm.

Disasters are "extra-curricular" so far as communities are concerned.

Newman Club Starts Activities For Year

The Newman Club opened the school year by sponsoring the first Sunday mass, which was held at the Gothic.

The club wishes to introduce its new director, Rev. Father Barnhardt of St. Bonaventure.

Father Barnhardt, who obtained Ms Ph. D., at the University of Lou- vaine, Belgium, is already well known to many of the stsudents and faculty.

Father James Rigney, former director is now studying at tthe Uni- versity of Frieburg, Germany, where he will obtain his Ph. D.

Sunday masses will be held at the Gothic at 9:00 o'clock, throughout the year.

For the benefit of the new freshmen, the regular monthly meeting of the Newman Club will be held soon.

versatility and enthusiasm are important assets of Red Cross workers and volunteers at such times. Chapter officers and committeemen recognize this and everywhere enlist the services of young men and women.

PLAYING IN THE SUN!

1 ITTLE. AMERICA, ANTARCTI- CA, Sept 11 (via Maekay Ra- dio):—The return of daylight has had a marked Influence on all of the 52 men in this camp and, I presume, a similar effect on Admiral Byrd and the three men with film at Boi- ling Advance Base. A new spirit pervades the entire group and the Irritability and the sharp tempers developed during the long, gloomy winter night are disappearing. Each morning before the sun actually ap- peared, as the faint glow on the horizon Increased it was greeted by a fanatical group

of sun worship- pers. Each day until August 22 the sun approach- ed closer to the horizon until the group were re- warded finally by a glimpse of Its

shining edge ap- Isaac Schloss- peartng Just over bach, of Bradley the flifjfon* tee Beach, N. J., one barrier. The day- of our aviators, light was only daylight by courtesy.

It was grey and eerie on the ice but it was daylight nevertheless and a

•welcome ehaage from the Impene- trable blackness of the Antarctic night.

With the advent of daylight the weather seemed to get colder and the men piled on more and more clothing, especially socks. Our winter shoes, all right for indoors, were replaced by fur mukluks and heavy leather helmets replaced the woolen helmets we had been wear- Ing. And, as the boys began to play around or work outside, numerous cases of frostbitten noses and toes and fingers began to appear. Those of us who were working outdoors have had to watch each other close- ly to check the tell-tale white patches that indicate freezing faces and must be attended to instantly by rubbing snow on them and getting out of the extreme cold for a while. A marked change also oc- curred in our living conditions. Dur- ing the winter night it was our habit to foregather in the living quarters after meals and argue every question under the sun day and night. The coal stoves were red hot and the arguments even hotter.

I Now all this is changed. We have had an opportunity to dig out the

• autoglro and Bill McCormack, of Lansdowne, Pa., has taken several [ wonderful altitude flights in it to observe weather conditions. To our astonishment he reports that the Ross Sea is entirely free of ice be-

yond the Bay of Whales as far as he could see. We have thought all along that we were shut In by a solid sheet of Ice extending for hun- dreds of miles. This is one of the most interesting scientific discov- eries of this expedition so far. The big Ford plane is being dug out from under eight feet of snow where It has rested for five years since the first Expedition left. '

These days, when we are so busy outdoors, the buildings are des«rted, the stove is out and the arguments are forgotten. In five weeks our trail parties will leave with their tractors and dog sledges on the long and dangerous exploration journeys to the Queen Maud Moun- tains and other distant spots. An air of tension lies over the whole camp. The tractors are all over-i hauled and ready for the trail ex- cept the big Cletrac which lies out in the snow 67 miles south of I t Its carburetor was put out of business by the cold but it Is not in any way damaged and was Invaluable to the expedition In Its early trip.

Presently we are going out to get it.

It will be brought in as soon as the weather moderates.

I have been living for the past few months in the main adminis- tration building in an upper bunk over Steve Corey, of Winchester, Mass., our supply officer. The as- sociations and the arguments here have been a liberal education to me

— an unparalleled post-graduate course supplementing my work at Harvard. I have acquired great self- confidence because I have learned to do so many things. I can now do anything from observing and checking meteors to properly fold- ing parachutes, adjusting magne- tos or butchering a seal—not for-i getting my really great proficiency as a plain and fancy wielder of a snow shovel. That is one art I am going to try to forget the minute I get home. I

Dr. Davis At Home Nearly Recovered

Dr. Boothe C. Davis, former president of Alfred University, has return- ed to his home in Alfred. Dr. Davis, who sustained severe injuries in an automobile accident last spring, has improved a great deal and is now using a wheel chair. Mrs. Davis, who was also injured, has completely recovered.

It is hoped that Dr. Davis will soon jlose the stiffness which remains and

be alble to go about as usual.

RESUME SERVICES AT UNION CHURCH

The regular services of the Univer- sity church were sesumed last Sunday with a fine congregation in attendance.

Chaplain McLeod preached on "The Test of Religion". It is hoped the fine attendance of last year will con- tinue throughout the present college year. The services begin at eleven o'clock and the vested choir of thirty voices will render special music.

PLAN TO OPEN PHYSICS HALL

MONDAY

Physics Hall is now nearing completion and will he in readiness for the use of University students early next week, according to Professor Clif- ford M. Potter, head of the physics department. Finishing touches are now being added to the building which replaces Babcock Hall, burned in 1929.

The installation of furniture and the placing of equipment have been car- ried on this week. All equipment is modern and should add to the comfort and efficiency of both students and professors. Physics Hall will house not only all the physics classes, but is intended also as a place of instruc- tion in mathematics, economics and drafting as well. The top floor of the building will be given over to classes in mathematics and economics and the north section of the basement will have drafting classes.

The completion of the project marks the end of two years of planning on the part of the University. A foundation was laid two years ago, then the foundation remained unused until the building project was resumed this spring. When the undertaking was begun in June before the close of school it was expected that the hall would be in readiness to accommodate classes Monday last, 'but the opening date was later than expected.

ARCHERY INTRODUCED TO FRESHMEN

WOMEN

A brief archer exhibition was given last Friday afiternoon on, Women's Field by five competitors in the first Alfred archery tournament held last spring.

The exhibition was largely given to introduce the sport, which was so en- thusiastically taken up last year by Alfred women, to the women of the class of 1938.

One round (24 arrows) was shot by each: Aileen Broich, winner of last year's tournament, Marie Marino, Ruth Norwood, Irene Gage and Marion Phil- lips. Afterwrds an individual exhibition of her shooting was given by each girl.

SUMMER SCHOOL TEACHER DIES

SUDDENLY

Word was received Tuesday of the sudden death of Miss Mabel I. Hart, at Oxford, Ohio, where she was teach- ing at the Western College. The funeral service will he held this morning at Cato, N. Y.

STATE OFFICERS FAVOR BUDGET

FOR CERAMICS

The Department of Education Looks With Favor on Enlarged Program

For Alfred's Ceramic College An experiment station for ceramics and an increased budget for the New York State College of Ceramics at Al- fred University has received the ap*

proval of executive officers of the State Department of Education following their personal inspection of the recently completed $275,000 Col- lege of Ceramics building and its equipment, it was learned from Dean M. E. Holmes.

Approval of the plans are not final, however. Both matters must yet he presented to the State Legislature.

This will be done early in the next convening session, it is thought. Un- doubtedly, though, the two plans will be authorized, since both of them will go to the legislature with the unani- mous and enthusiastic recommenda- tions of the four executive officers who made the inspection.

Inspection of the building and Its equipment was made by Vice-chancel- lor Thomas J. Manging of the Regenta of the University of the State of New York; Dr. Frank P. Graves, president of the University of the State of New York and Commissioner of Education;

Dr. Marlon H. Horner, assistant-commissioner for higher education and Dr. A. D. Simpson, assistant commissioner for finance.

The officials spent an entire day in Alfred. They were conducted on their tour of the College of Ceramics by Dean M. E. Holmes of the College of Ceramics; Dr. J. Nelson Norwood, president of Alfred University and Hon. J. J. Merrill, member of the Board of Trustees and New York State Tax Commissioner. The officials also were shown other buildings on the campus.

The budget approved by the executives is for 1935-36 and includes a number of increases other than the most important provision for the ex- perimental station. The executives also discussed plans for the improve- ment of the Ceramic Art Department.

If the budget is approved by the State Legislature, the included ex«

periment station will become an in- tegral part of the Ceramic College, in the opinion of Dean Holmes. The station will provide for research and experimentation, which in itself will be a great aid to the industry, especially the New York State Association of Ceramic manufacturers, organized last year under Dean Holmes.

Harriers Prepare For

Meet With Hobart

Captain Java With Six Other Veterans Form

Nucleus—Sophomores Promising

The Saxon hill and dalers, under the coaching of James McLeod, have been voted into the Intercollegiate American Amateur Athletic Associa- tion, it was learned today.

This means that Alfred will com- pete with such colleges as Michigan, University of Southern California, New York University, University of Illinois, and all of the larger colleges of America.

"Teddie" TenBroeck, 'captain and balance man of last year, is the greatest loss to the team due to grad- uation. In this year's line-up will he seen Minnick, Java, Mulligan, Knapp, Oldfield, and Brooks, all veterans.

Hodges, Dawson, and VanCampen, sophomores, are seeking berths. They showed excellent qualities on the Freshman squad last year.

Hobart comes to Alfred on October 5th. It was an easy victory for the Saxons last year. Alfred will journey to Cornell on October 13th for a tus- sle. The Saxons went down to defeat by a slight margin last year at the hands of Cornell. Mangin, now repre- senting the New York Athletic Club,

•was the star of the Red and Blue team.

The next opponent is University of Rochester, there on October 20th.

October 31st will find the Alfred team at West Point. The New York State meet is scheduled for November 10th.

It was an easy title for Alfred last year.

The I. C. 4 A. meet takes place on November 19th in New York City.

We have great hopes that the Purple and Gold harriers will come to the top in this engagement. The last meet is the Middle Atlantics at New York City, November 26th.

NEW YORK

By Milt Goldstone

Over the summer a bright star arose in the personage of the diminu- tive Shirley Temple. A natural born aotress—but of course the movie moguls will show her so often that her charm will fade too fast.

The legitimate stage produced "She Loves Me Not," which was a hilarious comedy on life at Princeton. The picture magnates wisely deemed it adaptable for the silver screen and then mulilated it beyond recognition.

However, it still makes good screen fare because Bing Crosby sings "Love in Bloom" and Ibecause of Miriam Hopkins.

Claude Rains (Remember him as the Invisible Man,) made a picture that is different, and if you go for something that is gruesome, see

"Crime Without Passion". ^-By the way, my nomination for the world's worst aotress is Alice Faye.

On view are Radio City in New York is "One Night -of Love" starring Grace Moore, former singing star of the Metropolitan Opera House. The critics rave about her performance but sadly overlooked Tullio Carman- ate who gave a better one. Another good performance is Frank Morgan's in "The Affairs of Cellini".

The most talked of picture of the forthcoming production is "The Bar- retts of Wimpole Stree" with Norma Sherarer and Frederic March. So how can it miss? The hest picture over the summer "was "The Thin Man".

Enough of pictures—the stage season has not fully got under way as yet, but prospects are encouraging as heralded by "Life Begins at Eight- Forty," whicih is due for a long run—

but it is a musical and consquently it is unimportant.

For the dancers, my choices run thusly "I Saw Stars," "Then I'll Be Tired of You," "I Never Had a Chance," "The Very Thought of You"

and "Love in Bloom". You have heard these but one which I am sure you will eventually like is "Star Spell On Alabama".

JOHN YOUNG ELECTED PRESI- DENT OF BARTLETT HALL John Young, a graduate of Hornell High School and now a resident of Buffalo, has just been elected president of Bartlett Dormitory and will at once assume his duties of presiding over and leading dormitory activities and projects.

At the meeting held Sunday evening, Albert Swanson was elected vice- president and Joseph Glasser of Ro- chester, was made secretary-treasurer.

Plans are now underway for an exchange dance with the Brick. Ar- rangements will be discussed at a meeting of the officers of both dormi- tories to be held Friday afternoon in Dean Dora K. Degen's office. The officers of the Brick a r e : Frances Douglass of Brooklyn, president;

Frances Amsden of Cuba, vice president; Betty Hyde of Salamanca, secretary; and Sylvia Gailor of Roches- ter, treasurer.

A new radio has been installed in Bartlett dormitory through the interest and cooperation of all the freshmen men. A Dorm Orchestra has just been organized to play at various social functions. Any freshman who plays a drum may join by getting in touch with the group at once.

" the right looking over the new, smaller ball of this year.

In the past few years, the defensive tactics in football seem to have progressed to a greater extent than offensive play. With this condition in mind the Rules Committee has endeavored to make changes that would be advantageous to the offensive team. Realizing that the ordinary football fan has been somewhat mystified when confronted with yearly changes in the rules, the committee has made but one major change.

It is generally known that the official ball is smaller than that used in former years, although it is the same weight. The "new" ball should be a great aid to the passing game. Heretofore, only men with large hands were able to grip the ball. Now, the men with small hands are able to pass quite accurately. The kicking game does not seem to be affected.

The one major change in the rules has to do with the passing game. In former years, if a forward pass became incomplete in the defending team's end zone it was ruled a "touchback" and the ball was given to the defending team on their 20 yard line. Under the present rule one incomplete pass may be made in the end zone in a series of downs, the only penalty being loss of a down.

Another change that will help the offensive play has to do with the passing game. The new rules allow a team to throw as many incomplete passes as they wish without a penalty other than the loss of a down.

It is still early to pass a fair judgment on the new rules, but from our own experience in practice, the game is bound to be more open and spectacular, furnishing even more amusement for the spectators.
