Dr. Judd Urges U. S. To Make More Treaties
Representative Walter H. Judd, Re- publican of Minnesota, urged the United States to make more treaties with European Nations outside the Iron Curtain similar to the Western Union.
He said this would compare most favorably with the approach of the USSR which has formed "a club with- in a club," with the Communist Party within the UN. "As long as the na- tions of the world act as though noth- ing can be done and as long as the Soviet will not permit two ideologies to live in agreement, we'll never get any thing done."
Mr. Judd spoke at the 113th annual Alfred University Founders'' Day cer- emonies. Dr. M. Ellis Drake, acting president, presented the honorary Doctor of Laws degree to Mr. Judd for being "a distinguished member of Con- gress." Dr Willard J. Sutton present- ed Mr. Judd for the degree.
"The plain fact Is1 that we do not have one world, but two—two worlds in head-on collision," he said.
"We cannot go on indefinitely as two worlds and they can become one

Chest Response Light According To Daniel Kane
With about a quarter of the students on the campus heard from, Daniel Kane '49, chairman of the drive, re- ported that the Community Chest drive has yet to reach the thousand dollar mark.
"Up to the present time, we have returns from approximately 450 per- sons on the campus," said Kane. The exact amount of money turned in is not available at present bit it is some- where in the vicinity of $700. We hope that those persons who have not contributed will do so as soon as pos^
sible."
Kane did not have the Ag-Tech re- turns as the school is being handled by departments and will take longer to solicit. However, returns are ex- pected this week since the Ag-Tech students will no longer be concentrat- ing on the festival.
Kane urged solicitors to see the persons assigned to them and follow up on the pledges. "People on the cam- pus should realize that this is their Community Chest and that everyone should show an interest in it," Kane remarked.
Solicitors may return funds at the Senate meeting tonight, or to James White '51, in the Treasurer's' office.

Army Inspects A. U. Facilities For ROTC Unit
] ci'ities for the establishment of an KOTC base in Alfred University were pronounced adequate by Lt. Col- onel John Cayle, assistant to Colon- el T. M. Crawford of the 1st Army Area. Lt. Cayle inspected the campus last Monday.
Alfred's preference, the facilities of the campus and the over-all plan of the army will affect the type of ROTC to be established, according to M. E.
Drake, acting president.
Those things looked for in Alfred's facilities were storage space for such things as uniforms, rifles, machine guns and other supplies, a field for drill work and office space for the commanding officer and his staff.
Application for the ROTC unit has been sent to the War Department through the office of the President.
A decision from the War Department is expected by the end of January.
Spencer Irwin Calls For Better Relations Between Continents
"We can only hope to meet the Rus- sian menace—which is simply an idea
—with a better idea," Spencer Irwin, Cleveland Plain Dealer foreign-affairs analyst, told the Harvest Festival par- ents^day audience Thursday.
"In traditional, historic principles of this country, we have the idea," he said. "All it takes is the common sense and gumption to sell the idea to the world and to put it into practice."
Mr. Irwin said war would not emerge in the near future out of the
"East-West squabble over Berlin be- cause the United States will not start it and Russians cannot. There is danger of an ultimate clash, however, as long as the Russians continue to push their ideologies through the Comiform in other countries.
"World revolution is their thesis and will remain objective whatever new approach or new front they employ in their methods to get it," he emphasized. "The United States can meet this threat," he said, "not oniv with money to put the countries of Western Europe on their productive feet, not only by arms to the Western European Union and the building o.
a North Atlantic Union but also bv employing to an effective degree its own political theory."

Students At Fault?
The slow progress of the Community Chest seems to reflect a tendency on campus—that of indifference of students toward activi- ties in which students should be apparently interested. An organiza- tion such as Chorus, for example, has decreased in membership considerably since last year. Organizations that sponsor all-campus forums and meetings are usually disappointed at the turn-out.
We feel that there is a logical explanation for this so-called
"lethargy" on the part of students toward campus events. It is irrational to say that students are essentially different this year than they have been other years; it is more logical to say that they have changed their minds about the value of these activities.
The blame, then could be placed on the planning groups. Trying to get people interested in a certain activity or event is essentially a question of management. If the activity or discussion group has nothing to offer, students will soon lose interest.
Most people know that attendance is not taken at Founder's Day assemblies, but even if it were, they would take a cut that day. This year, students naturally judged the program on the merits, or lack off them, of last year's long and boring speeches. As a result, an audience composed almost entirely of seniors and out-of-town guests heard Dr. Judd's speech Thursday;
So if certain extra-curricular activities find they are failing, they should re-examine their values and try to find where they have failed, and either correct the fault, or discontinue the group.
Footlight Club Play Makes Hit;
Second Performance Tonight
By Jack B. Moore
A dominating young woman's management of her father's house- hold and the discomfort caused her father and two younger sisters provided amusing Footlight Club fare for a Harvest Festival audience
Thursday evening in Alumni Hall.
The play, Lennox Robinson's "The j Far-Off Hills," will be presented again this evening in Alumni Hall. Curtain time will be 8:30 p.m.
Originally played by the famed Abbey Players in their 1932 tour of America, the three-act comedy gives the Footlight Club an entertaining vehicle for its annual fall presenta- tion.
Jean McGraw '52, former Alfred res- ident, sparkled in the role of 16-year- old "Pet," youngest daughter of blind Patrick Clancy, to pace a well-chosen, capable cast.
Sondra Rubin portrayed Marian Clancy, the big sister whose penchant for an orderly household provides the headaches for Patrick (Robert Law- son), Ducky (Dorothy Brion), the other sister, and Pet,
Susie Tynan (Joyce Angermann), Oliver O'Shaughnessy XEnsio Koski) and Dick Delaney (David Crump) are old friends of Patrick's. Marian's' dis- approval of Oliver and Dick is the catalyst which speeds the plot on its merry way to a climax. A Dan Cupid act by Pet and Ducky in pairing up Susie and their father to relieve sister Marian of her household responsibili- ties—that she may enter a convent—
adds to the merriment.
Marian balks, however, when she finds that her way is clear at last.
Not until Susie's aggressive nephew, Pierce Hegarty (Charles Magg), steps into the picture is the deadlock re- solved.
Harold Mahoney (Marc Neren- stone—a doleful friend who also balks when opportunity presents it- self, and Ellen Nolan (Mary Eagle), the Clancy's fickle maid, complete the cast.
Effective sets by James Hall add much to the production. C. Duryea Smith III, faculty advisor to the Foot-

The purchase of several new pieces of equipment for the biology and chemistry departments was announced today by Dr. H. O. Burdick, dean of the liberal arts college. Largest ex- penditures were for the purchase of 5 new microscopes at a total' cost of
$1200.
A 16 millimeter sound movie projec- tor was also purchased recently for the department. An estimate of t h e total amount of money1 spent by the two departments is not yet available.

A grand finale to the thjee days of demonstrations and enter- tainment of the Ag-Tech Festival was the semi-formal Harvest ball held in Davis Gym from 9-2 Friday night, with dancing to the music of nationally known bandleader Blue Barron. Decorations were kept

A special note of
by one of the interest was a telegram from Mr. Paul Orvis in Paris, France, sending his regrets that he could not attend the Festival.
Friday afternoon, as part of the Festival, there were two tea dances with music by the Collegians in the Ag-Tech lounge for visiting students and Al Rawady's combo in Social Hall for the Ag-Tecn. students Chatter

Heights Rooms Available
There are, at present, four vacancies in the Saxon Heights dormitories ac- cording to Dean of Men Edward L.
Hawthorne. "These rooms are double rooms which already are occupied by one student," he pointed out. "The price of the rooms will depend on the number of weeks left in the semester."
Dr. Judd Urges
(Continued on page Two) only by conquest or by some basis of voluntary agreement. We will not achieve their agreement by escaping from our responsibilities nor by buy- ing the world through appeasement as we tried* to do with Japan and Ger- many before World War II," said the former medical missionary to China.
Citing the third choice as "depend- ing on the might of our armies," the Congressman urged rearmament plus a definite foreign policy where we
"pour in our billions and strain our economy." Even this would only "buy us time." He said we have two poli- cies toward Communists, one in Eur- ope where we are fighting them and one in China "where we have insisted that the Chinese take them in."
In the third course, "we must resist any further expansion of global tyr- anny," he said.
In closing, Representative Judd made a strong plea for a thorough re- organization of the United Nations.
"The Soviet came into the UN not to make peace, but to prevent it," he said. "Russia does not want another world organization. It already h a s one in its Communist Party." The Minnesota Congressman suggested that it would be unwise for us "to junk the UN or to continue to by-pass it as we have been doing for three years. We must correct, modify or revise it," he said.
At the same time, we must form an organization among the non-Commun- ist nations for "our collective self- defense." He said "75 per cent of the world would rally around us and the Soviet, faced with such overwhelming power, would have to come along.
Other nations want peace as never before. Let the United States become responsible. They can do so by exer- cising in a constructive, positive way their great strength and influence."
Letters To The Editor—
Founder's Day Speech Discussed Dear Editor,
It is perhaps pointless to comment in the Fiat on the Founder's Day As- sembly address, since few students except the seniors bothered to attend.
Perhaps no one has explained to the freshmen the significance of the occa- sion; or perhaps their experience in previous assemblies this year has led them to despair of ever hearing a good speaker. At any rate, they would have heard one on this occasion.
One may, however, admire the elo- quence of Dr. Judd, respect his sin- cerity, acknowledge the soundness o£
his views (which he was not alone in holding) on Japanese and German aggression in the thirties, and still question the validity of his present position.
First, no matter how many or how famous people may repeat it, the charge that Russian Communism is exactly parallel to Japanese militar ism or German Naziism not only re mains unproved but is simply untrue.
Russia obviously would like to see the Communist system triumphant every where —as we would like to see our brand of democracy. But this does not mean that either country will necessarily try to secure the desired result by a shooting w,ar.
The issue is too big to argue here.
But it may be pointed out that since the surrender of Germany, the Iron Curtain has nowhere been advanced an inch by force of Russian arms. This proves nothing about Russia's ultimate intentions. But it does distinguish her, to date, from Germany and Japan.
If it is said that she has no need of force, because she gains her ends by other means, it^may be answered that it is the means which are alone im- portant. If she is not determined to resort to war (and to say at this point that she is, is only to guess) , then we may view the future with hope.
In the meantime, it might be wise to inquire why Communism has gained mass support from native, nationalist- educated Czechs, French and Italians
—something which Naziism never had outside of Germany.
Similarly, most people overlook the fact that the Chinese Communists a r e not only Communists but also Chinese.
They also overlook the fact that most of their arms are American, captured from Nationalist soldiers who have no will lo defend a regime that is so in- tolerably corrupt and oppressive. The vast majority of first-hand observers agree that Chiang's government is falling to pieces from sheer internal rottenness.
As for Dr. Judd's specific proposal—
to confront Russia and her satellites with an otherwise universal armed alliance, which will cow her into co- operation—much may be said for such a policy; though it is a question whether many small nations do not fear us almost as much as they fear Russia. But like any other policy, it may not bring peace and it may bring war; a war which might, or might not, be avoided by less aggressive measures.
The time comes, of course, when a man or a nation must commit itself to a single line of action and cast aside all doubt, hesitation or possibil- ity of compromise. Dr. Judd thinks that point has been reached in our dealings with Russia. I do not.

Varsiiy Harriers
(Continued from page one) Alfred's second man, Dick O'Neil, took sixteenth place in 23:52, fourteen seconds behind Wightman. O'Neil ran in 1947. This, incidentally, was the first race all season in which Wightman and O'Neil did not finish side by side.
In twenty-eighth place was Paul Flurschutz whose time was 24:30.
24:44 and Don Rosser, Alfred's fifth Tom Myers finished in thirty-third in man, thirty-sixth in 24:51. Paul Bet- lem took the fifty-second spot in 25:- 30 and John Anderson sixty-fourth in 26:15. There were eighty-one con- testants in the race.
The varsity ended its season in the IC4-A championship run at Van Courtand Park in New York, yester- day. This was also the last meet of the season for the frosh squad, but the Fiat went to press before these results could be obtained.
Memo
TO: THE BOSSLADY FROM: JERRYSMITH
We had a chance to visit briefly again with Mrs. Ada Becker Seidlin, Thursday, before she s a t down t o play "Polonaise" for the Founder's Day processional. We asked her about the grand piano because the Inter- fraternity Council is having difficulty locating one for Claude Thornhill.
"This one is so old and has been moved around so much that it is a wonder it still holds1 together," she said. "I bought it secondhand in New York about 2-0 years ago, but I suspect the piano is about 60 years old now."
"We really need a new one, and should have a concert grand for Abbey Simon (Forum program, Dec. 9), but it probably would cost $2000 or $3000,"
she went on. "We got this one for t h e ridiculously low figure of $750."
— • —
The Judd speech seems to have caused considerable comment not so much for what he said as it has for the fact that he spoke to an audience that only a third-filled the gym.
That Congressman Judd had some- thing to say is a foregoing conclusion, whether one is on his side or Dr.
Barnard's. (See Letter to the Editor.) We'll not defend either viewpoint, but we think there is a defense for those students who did not go.
As Prof. Smith pointed out in a class, the real meaning of Founder's Day generally is pretty well lost.
Pretty Veil lost, we might add, in t h e attempt to get a politician or indus- trialist onto campus and give him an honorary degree. Too frequently, we think, the politician or industrialist has been interested only in making a personal appearance the same as a name band leader. Whether h e ' s a i d anything or what he said was second- ary so long as he didn't step on any toes.
The net result was that the politi- cian made a personal appearance be- fore some future voters, the University got some publicity and only seniors were required to go. Long ago, any but the most conscientious student gave up voluntary attendance because the speech generally was valueless and frequently insufferably dull.
Judd turned out to be the exception and we give due credit t o whoever was responsible for his appearance.
We might take our cue, however, from the 113th Founder's Day and in t h e future let those whom we honor with a degree know that we expect some- thing more than the verbal chit-chat we have been subjected to in years past.
Newspapermen have to be unusually careful about the spelling of names.
Therefore, we were more than casual- ly interested the other day when Dr.
Scholes paused on the street to ask:
"Who letters the signs for the RFA?"
We confessed that we didn't know.
"Well, I always thought it would be a good idea to leave the 'h"" out of my name—but I haven't done it yet."

Mr. Bemis, who played center on t h e Westfield eleven, is father of Donald Bemis, AT. The additional score makes the Saxon's 50-year record (in- cluding Saturday's Brooklyn game) 127 victories, 151 defeats and 30 t i e games.

Prof. Snyder's Advice To Future Lawyers Hailed Through Country
Requests have about stopped coming in for Prof. C. Kenneth Snyder's "Memorandum to a Future Lawyer," but meanwhile the name of Alfred University and the pre-legal survey which Prof.
Snyder conducted has gone to 20 states and Canada, to students, pro- fessors, high school principals and
teachers, professional guidance ser- vices, lawyers, judges, law schools, and libraries.
The affair started last Spring when Prof. Snyder began investigating what courses recent graduates, law school students and graduates and law col- lege deans thought an undergraduate should take in preparing for a law career.
Among the ones he queried first were the following local lawyer alum- ni: Mary Karr Jackson, Hornell; Wal- ter L. M. Gibbs, Buffalo; W. R. Van Campen, Jr., Belmont and John D.
Young, Corning.
Based upon the suggestions he re- ceived in these and other answers, Prof. Snyder compiled his "Memo"
for distribution to campus pre-law students'. The Publicity Department sent a news article to the New York Heratd Tribune and the New York Times on successive June Sundays.
"The response was terrific," said throughout June with requests for copies of the Memo."
Upon tabulating the requests this week he found that it had gone to Maine, Alabama.New Mexico, Victoria, B.C. and San Francisco. For instance, after having (had requests for the
"Memo", the following libraries re- quested copies: The New York City Public Library, the Yale Law School Library and the New York University Law School Library.

Intersorority Council Sets Rushing Period Deadlines
Senior nurses will sign their pref- erential slips at noon, Friday, in Physics Hall, announced Katherine Lecakes '49, Intersorority Council president. The silence period begins with the signing of the preferential cards and ends Monday night with pledging.
Among the comments are the follow- ing:
"I compliment you upon it for it is the best short statement on the subject I know of."—Judge Thomas J. Walsh, County Court of Richmond County, N. Y.
"Bates, a liberal arts college, would fit in quite handily in most places where Alfred is mentioned in your Memo. I shall expect to refer to it in advising some of my students." Dr.
Brooks Quimby, Bates College, Lewis- ton, Me.
"You are performing a most useful service in bringing together the very scattered and sometimes contradictory advice which students have received in this field." —Prof Rodney L. Mott, Colgate University, Hamilton.
"Students should encounter little, if any, difficulty in analyzing the mean- ingful knowledge."—Prof C. A. Hollis- ter, Muhlenberg College, Allentown, Pa.
"It is an excellent piece of voca- tional guidance material. I know I shall find it to be of real value in ad- vising the pre-law students."—Dr. F.
G. Livingood, Dean, Washington Col- lege, Chestertown, Md.
"We were pretty much in the dark as to the best course for my son to take and while the advisers at Ken- yon College have been most helpful, they have not been as explicit as your memorandum,-"—Sanford B. Church, Albion.
"You have packed a good deal of very sound advice into six pages."—•
Ralph E. Kharas, Associate Dean, Col- lege of Law, Syracuse University, Syracuse.

Plans Submitted To Reduce Post Office Crowds
Several plans to help alleviate the crowded condition of the Post Office were submitted to the Student Senate last week. William Bayuk '50, of the Post Office committee suggested that the Senate adopt a plan to hire a stu- dent for $125 a year to sort and deliv- er mail to the dormitories.
Students would have their mail de- livered to boxes installed in the dorms and registered mail and special deliv- eries would be given to the house mother. The committee was instruct- ed to take the matter to the adminis- tration and the Post Office and to
report on findings tonight.
Assembly To Have Movies
A "March of Time" film will be fea- tured at assembly this week. Also to be shown are "Football Thrills," a Pete Smith specialty and "Fabulous Fraud," one of John Nesbitt's Passing Parade features.
The plan to include plusses in the marking system has been prnsented by Mary Eagle '49 to the President. The matter now will be referred to the faculty.
The treasurer reported $1850 in the treasury but $1050 of that was used to pay for the drapes for the gym, which arrived during the week.
James White '51, asked solicitors in the Senate to make their returns to him at Senate meetings or in the Treasurer's office.
Frosh, Sophomores To Receive Grades
Schedule cards for mid-semester grades will be mailed Thursday to all liberal arts freshmen and sophomores, according to Dean Elizabeth Geen.
The cards will give the time and day for the student to see- his advisor and receive mid-semester grades. If the appointment happens to be during a class, the student is requested to pre- sent his card to the instructor at the beginning of the period and to leave the class room when the time comes.
Juniors and seniors will be able to obtain grades by sending a self-ad- dressed card to their advisors or by asking their instructors for them.
Dr. Geen pointed out that midsemes- ters are only an indication of the final grade and do not go into the Regis- trar's books.

Strong Brooklyn College Team Downs Alfred Eleven By 31-7
A powerful, once-beaten Brooklyn College swamped the Purple and Gold of Alfred 31-7, Saturday, at Brooklyn Field. The game was played before a crowd of 5,000 persons who saw Brooklyn come to life in the second half to score three quick touchdowns.
Brooklyn, using the two-team sys- tem during a large part of the con- test, easily outweighed Alfred 20 lbs.
per man, as they rolled up 323 yards against Alfred who had rated fourth in defense among small colleges.
In the first period, Alfred kicked to the Kingsmen, recovered an on- sides kick and quickly went to the Brooklyn 41. Here, the Brooklyn line held and they took over on downs.
Brooklyn then proceeded to run over and around Alfred and, on a series of first-downs, reached the Saxon's 10- yard stripe before being stopped. In the second period, Brooklyn scored their first of five touchdowns on a pass from Nick Gagio to Chuck Bress- ler. The conversion was wide.
The next time Alfred got the ball, Hal Brown, who picked up most of Alfred's 196 yards rushing, slipped around right end, evaded some tack- lers and went 64 yards in a brilliant run for Alfred's only score. Brown's conversion was also good and Alfred led 7-6.
Then Norm Weiner, Brooklyn full- back, took over and with the help of Brooklyn's line completely outplayed Alfred to score. Jerry Edward's con- version was good. The score at the half was in the Kingsmen's favor, 13-7.
In the middle of the third quarter, BrookJyn came to (life. Behind a series of first downs, with Sonny Battone and Weiner carrying the ball, Brooklyn scored their third touch- down. This time their conversion failed as it did in four out of five trys.
The fourth quarter saw Edwards
•score on a 57 yard run around left end. Brooklyn scored again with a double reverse as Battone went for 24 yards and a touchdown.
This was Brooklyn's first win over Alfred in five trys and assured them the best season in their history.

Fourteen Start Practice For Saxon Cagers
On November 2nd, 14 hopeful aspir- ants for the Alfred basketball team started practice. Three more, who have been playing football, will report Monday.
Outstanding men in the ranks are Dick McNamara, one of the two letter men back from the team last year;
John O'Donnell, starting his second year of varsity ball; Jess Hannan, o£
last year's Frosh team; Don Garrison and Bill LeFeber of last year's second string varsity; and Bob Kessel, a transfer from Hunter College.
Coach McWilliams stated that it would require a lot of hard work by the team to even equal last year's record of eleven wins against nine setbacks. The average height of last year's varsity was 6 feet 2 inches, but this year it is only 6 feet. Coach Mc- Williams thinks that this factor will be a decided disadvantage to the team this year.
The first game is Dec. 4 with Lin- coln University in Pennsylvania, played on the Saxon's home court.
This team is considered by many as*
one of the most outstanding colored teams in the country. This will be the first clash between the athletic Barnes

Frosh Harriers Cop Second As Morgan Takes Third Place
The freshman cross country team, scoring 61 points, captured second place Friday in the annual cross coun- try championship run sponsored by the Middle Atlantic Collegiate Track and Field Association, held at Muh- lenburg College in Allentown, Pa.
Joseph McGonigal of St. Josephs College won the race and St. Josephs won the meet with a score of 36 points. McGonigal's time of 17:26.6 stands as a record for the three-mile course, this being the first time a freshman race has been held at the Mid-Atlantics.
John Morgan, in third place, was the first Alfred Harrier to finish. His time was 17:48. Nick Berg, Alfred's second man, took sixth in 18:21. Ten seconds later Bill Cordes finished, in eleventh place. Martin Riemer and Herb Shindler came in twenty-first and twenty-second, respectively, in 19:33 and 19:37, followed by Laurence Caldwell, twenty-fourth, in 19:42. Sam- my Fame collapsed at the 2% mile mark. He was helped to his feet by a spectator and thus was automatic- ally disqualified, though he continued to run. Forty-three contestants, not counting Fame, finished the race.

Sports Sidelights
By Jim Quackenbush
With the Brookyn game, Alfred completed their first season in 11 years under the .500 mark. If some- one had prophesized this at the be- ginning of the season they would probably have been laughed at. Al- fred had, man for man, a better squad than they did last year when they won five and lost three, against this year's record of three wins and four defeats.
Two of this year's losses were caused by teams which Alfred tripped last fall. Those are St. Lawrence and Brooklyn College. Last year the Saxon's romped over St. Lawrence 20-7, and outscored Brooklyn 20-19.
One would think that with an im- proved squad the purple and gold would trample over these two op- ponents. Since they didn't these schools must have improved too.
Most of the college teams did im- prove this past year. We feel that we've seen a better brand of ball this fall than last. Probably Alfred's trouble was that they didn't improve as much as other squads did, or as much as we had thought they had.
Since the season is over there isn't much point in arguing over the reason for this year's record. Let's all back next year's squad so that the tide- wil again turn in Alfred's favor.
Aces Win By Score Highest This Year
This week in the Intramural Touch League the highest score of any team this year was accomplished by the Aces in defeating Kappa Nu 40-0.
Bartlett, the team which earlier in the season upset Delta Sig 7-2, suf- fered two defeats this week; one to Kappa Psi 6-0, the other to Saxon Heights 33-13. Delta Sig defeated the Shmoos 14-6. Lambda Chi took a gam*e from Kappa Nu 30-0.
