Skiing, Tobogganing, Bob-Sleds DependOn Alf's Flighty Weather

'Disneyland,' the Outing Club's 1954 Winter Carnival, lis due to Invest Alfred with its gaiety February 12 through 14, and will be initiated at the Sno-Ball on Friday night. Duane Jordan, chairman of this year's Win- ter Carnival, has announced that t i e Outing Club has high hqpes for a complete Carnival this year - the past two years having been somewhat marred by the lack of snow.

Shouldi the weatherman cooperate, the annual festival will feature not only its Ball, but skiing, tobogganing,

bob-sledding, sno-sculpture, and - of course - the usual wind-up feature, the Saturday evening square dance.

The Sno-Ball will feature the music of Johnnie Gabriel, his drums and orchestra. Previous to the formation of his band in the spring of 1949, Gabriel was, a featured drummer and scat singer with Art Mooney's band;

this, after a tour with the Eleventh Air Force Band. Lou Russo is the vocalist.

The Sno-Queen, to be crowned1 Fri- day might, and to reign over the three days of the Carnival, will be selected from five finalists of the voting to take place this Thursday and Friday.

Jorge Hougftton, chairman of the Sno- Queen committee, says that all students are elegible to vote in the Union for five of the 'queens' which are of- fered from all University and Ag-Tech

residences.

On Friday night the Sno-Queen is presented with a trophy - token of l e r authority - and the other finalists receive cups.

Jeanne Fields, heading the Sno- sculpture division, is sending instructions to all houses informing them of the rules and theme of the sculpture Judging. Figures are to represent figures from full length Walt Disney movies.

Barb Parsons and Joyce Trevor are expecting - it is reported - a change

in the annual skiing program; this year they expect snow.

Also dependent upon the presence of snow are the togogganing and bob- sledding competitions, to be/ held Sat- urday and Sunday afternoons respectively. Instructions for these events are also being sent to residences.

Saturday night's square dance will be held in the Fire Hall. At this time the skiing and sno-sculpturing awards

will be announced.

Expression of Gratitude

Your expressions of sympathy and concern in our behalf are deeply ap- preciated.

Because little Patrick was born with a partial cleft palate we have felt it particularly appropriate to help ad>- vance research in this field. It means a great deal to us that your generosity has made it possible to contribute to this cause.

With deepest gratitude, The Leaches

A Fourth Needed

Announcement has been made of the 1954 National Intercollegiate Bridge Tournament.

Both men and women compete in this annual contest in duplicate Con- tract Bridge. All competing colleges play, on campus, a set of 16 hands.

These hands are prepared and scored by Geoffrey Mott-Smith, a nationally recognized authority on Contract Bridge.

There is no entry or other fee for the contest, which will be run off between February 17 and 21. Students who are interested in participating In this contest should notify Dean Gertz on or before January 13. The Dean can also supply further information to those who are interested.

1954 Polio Drive On; Speaker Cites Costly, Concerted Program

New Year's ,Day meant more than a holiday for, the National Founda- tion for Infantile- Paralysis. It was the opening day for the annual drive for funds throughout the country.

Polio, one of the greatest cripplers of mankind, may be relegated to the status of small pox andi controlled as easily, if a new vacine recently developed at the University of Pitts- burgh lives up to hopes.

T,his was learned three weeks ago at the Kickoff Dinner of the Alle- gany County Infantile Paralysis fund

drive.

George Holland, Western New York State Representative of the National Foundation was guest speaker, and

•with the aid of a film slide projector told how the war on polio in 1954

•would be one of the most costly but most concerted and concentrated!.

He emphasized the need for large sums of money in the carrying out of a three-fold program which includes patient care, professional education and research.

AHegany County's quota is listed a t $23,000 or $10,000 over last year.

The total national fund need is $75, O00.0O0.

William Hammond, wo heads the county fund' drive for 1954, impressed the group with the immense good which the National Foundation does.

Due to the fact that the foundation

•will take one-third of each unit's quota and then one half of its remaining quota to pay for the huge committ- ments already made in the gamma glo- bulin and vaccine programs, we must do more than ever to assure a suc- cessful campaign, he said.

Forum Features Dynamic Dance AncTCute Cloth

by H. Pierre Galler

Last Thursday evening the Alfred University Forum presented the duo of Emily Frankel and Mark Ryder in

their Dance Drama.

The program opened with a daiet danced to the music of Bach. This dance showed the change of a young woman from youth, to womanhood, to death.

Next on the program was 'Play In Four Times.' This dance was staged in four scenes showing: the All-Amer- lcan sports hero and his mother, on the town with his girl friend, in mar- riage, and with his child.

In the fourth dance the dance team showed how sounds can be used in a dance. "The Biography of Fear," a story of lovs and fear made use of recorded sounds, such as air raid si- rens and jazz.

Among other dances was one en- titled "Rejoice Oh Maiden." An inter- pretive dance about a women who has slain her lover.

Leach Talks To Amandine Club On United Nations

by Mel Millman

Thursday afternoon, in the Alfred Community House, Mr. Leach, of the history and political science department, delivered a talk to the Amandine Club on the topic, "United Nations, Succeals or Failure?" The Amatndine Club is a local ladies organization.

The speech, which began at 3:00 p.m., was concerned with the accomplishments of the UN. Mr. Leach pointed' out that the United Nations h a s had a "qualified, but substantial success" in its economic and social en- deavors, even though it has not satisfied the expectations of the public in the field of politics.

"Since people are most interested in the political acheivements of the U.

N." said Mr. Leach, "We have developed a disappointed attitude toward it, and, therefore, we tend to overlook its manifold accomplishments in the other, fields under its jurisdiction."

Although disappointing, the politi- al achievements of the world organization have nevertheless been substantial," Mr. Leach pointed out. Cited in this case were the truce in Palestine, the Korean truce and others.

This address was one of many talks Mr. Leach has delivered about the N.

N. both on campus and off. He 'lias spoken to other groups on this topic in Hornell, Wellsville andi other towns in the vicinity.

A general interest among the ladies was exhibited by the many questions asked during the tea which followed.

On the lighter side was a story of a

puppet who transforms a women into a puppet like himself.

"Haunted Moments" was the sev- enth dance. It was another example of a dance set to sounds notably the ringing of a telephone, crowds cheer- ing, train bells and the sound of gurgling water.

Lastly was a suite of imaginary folk da/nces "from imaginary lands using various types of music; for instance: a polka, African drum folk music, Indian be-bop, and a Kashmir folk song.

Perhaps the most interesting cos- tumes were those in the last two scenes, especially the blue costume in "Haunted Moments." which did much to convey the effect of water in that scene.

Credit has to be given to the members of the Footljg'ht Club without whose help the Forum would not have been possible.

'Carpenter's Last Fling':

Harder Speaks On History

Lacks Romance; Modern Design Recent Brownstone Construction

Bunnell Asks Student Aid In Admissions

Director of Admissions Kevin Bun- nell has sent out a call for students who are interested in being available an hour or two a week to become acquainted with visiting prospective students and their families.

Recently there has been a marked increase in the number of high school students visiting the campus. This comes at a time When both Mr. Bun- nel and Miss Falcone are out of town almost constantly with their fall and winter schedule of high school visi- tations. Hence the needi for student admissions assistants.

This increase in the number of campus visitors may be attributed to the fact that high school seniors who expect to attend college are becoming more scientific about choosing the right college. They afre no lojnger satisfied to sit home and make their choice after reading through a collec- tion of catalogs and pictorial pam- phlets.

Insteadi, they plan a series of visits to the schools in which they a r e interested; they tour the campus, meet the faculty, eat in the dining halls, and in general try to get acquainted with the place' where they may spend four years of their lives.

People in, admissions work every- where are encouraging visits to the colleges because they enable students to choose more wisely. At the same time, the number of students now visiting Alfred campus has become too large for the admissions staff to (handle

properly. ,

If these people are to catch the feeling of Alfred friendship, and sense the meaning of the "Alfred Spirit," they must have a relaxed, unhurried stay on campus. "We can't tell them 'Sorry, too busy to show you around the ciwn- pus,' " commented Mr. Bunnell.

A number of visitors, after their interviews with the Director, of Ad- missions, have asked if they couldn't be shown around the campus by a student. They seemed to feel that a student could give them a more

"grass roots" version of what Alfred is really like. Consequently, Mr. Bun- nell has asked that students willing to be available for an hour or two a week, leave their names and phone numbers at Greene Hall with Mrs.

Porter, his secretary.

Students who volunteer to help, will be called upon to do such things as conduct a tour of Binns-Merrill Hall;

accompany a prospective student and family to Bartlett or the Brick for lunch, and show them a typical dorm- itory room; or simply give a general idea of what Alfred is like.

by Phil Feld

Accompanied by slides, Professor Charles Harder presented, to the local H.illel organization, Saturday afternoon, "The Carpenter's Last Fling," - Harder's paper on American architecture.

Beginning with the first houses built by the earliest colonists, trans- versing all of the periods of American history, and finally ending with, the modern "Levittowns" Professor Hardi- er explained in detail the progress of American architecture.

The Seventeenth Century, according to Professor Harder, was character- ized by the English Tudor stylization with shingle siding appearing in the latter part of the century.

The Eighteenth Century was a period in which Italian Renaissance - the contemporary style in England - play- ed a major role in our building design. Near the end of the century, after the excavation of ancient Rome, Thomas brought t h e classic Roman style to America, thus being respon- sible for the "Roman Grandture" seen in our government buildings.

Following the Civil War, our architecture, as explained by Harder, was influenced by Gothic, Tuscan, (Mental, Egyptia'n and Roman styles, and finally resulted in a design which for the most part could not be recognized as having any basis at all.

With the rapid expansion of Ameri- ca a new and faster method of construction was originated: the theory of balloon construction. Houses began to get smaller and simpler and 'finally many returned to the plain box shape of tlie early Seventeenth Century.

The Nineteenth and Twentieth Cen- turies' mass migration to urban areas, caused by the Industrial Revolution, made necessary the formation of a new- design, that of the familiar Brown- stone construction seen in all big ci- ties. This design, in Harder's words, has no romance whatsoever.

In concluding Professor Harder, wondered what the Englishman, who in the Seventeenth Century stated that American Architecture was a "mathe- matical infringement on! human ex- centricities," would have said if he could see the modern designs that are American architecture.

Ceramic College Lists Changes

An assortment of notices has been issued from the College of Ceram- ics this week. In line with the beginning of the new term, there are changes in the faculty, new projects will be started, and seasonal changes will be made in the furniture arrangement.

February 2, a symposium on "Im- pact Resistance" will be held. The symposium is being coordiinated by Mr. Tinklepaugh, the head of Air Force Research.

Professor George Kirkendale is about to have a book on Ceramic En- gineering published. This book will be a revision of his original book published in 1948.

Professor R. M. Campbell will be representing the College and the Uni- versity at a meeting in Cincinatti, Ohio. The meeting was called to dis- cuss the status of the registration of students in Ceramic Engineering courses.

Dr. Lawrence Bickford will be leav- ing the College of Ceramics February 1. Dr. Bickford, formerly associate professor of physics, has)accepted a position with the International Busi- ness Machine Company. Mr. Robert Turnbull, formerly head of the isotope laboratory will leave for fhe same destination.

Dr. R. M. Dell will be coming to the Ceramic College to work with Dr.

Gray on a new project being sponsored by the Boroughs Adding Machine Com- pany. He will remain here until June, 1954.

Simpson Prints Optical Paper In Periodical

Dr. Harold E. Simpson, professor of glass technology at Alfred University, is the author of a paper which appear- ed in a recent issue of "Transactions of the Society of Glass Technology,"

published in England.

The technical dissertation, "Surface Durability of Optical Glass," is based upon studies done under Dr. Simpson's supervision in the department of gla?s technology of the New York State Col- lege of Ceramics. In an abstract pre- paredi with the article, Dr. Simpson writes:

"The surface durability of optical reticules was studied under high hu- midity by subjecting the samples of glass to cycles of surface fogging and clearing. The total transition and the amount of scattered light of the weath- ered samples were measured by means of a photoelectric haze-meter, the rel- ative amount of scattering being con- sidered as a measure of the amount of haze or surface deterioration.

Much News Made In Christmas Interim

Messiah, Fire, Englemann Take Place; Gertz Hero

by Dee Tee

Many and various were the happenings, over the Christmas vacation. The 'Messiah' was sung whilst Alfred burned and Professor Englemann was married. Mr. Gertz partook of his moment of glory by detecting nefariousness and corruption in low places. The team of Gertz and Stebbins, best since Rathbone and ^ Bruce duo, put

such a sudden endi to the myetery of the missing Buick that E. S. Gardner will probably cease his efforts.

The town skating party featured lights to the disgust, no doubt, of some. Going back further in the files we see that the Admissions Office is inhabited by the busiest beavers since Coolidge built his dam.

Messiah

Two performances of Handel's "Mes- siah" were presented Sunday, Decem- ber 13, in the University Church by the University Chorus and Orchestra under t h e direction of William Fied- ler. Soloists were John Peclt and Mar- ilyn Richard, both 1953 graduates of Alfred, andi Mlary Williamsojh and Charles House from the Eastman School of Music, Rochester.

Bert S. Katz, F. L. music critic, commended the presentation highly, saying that it "displayed a good understanding of the music." Comment- ing on the solo work, Katz remarked the "wonderf/ul feeling c,f musical perspective (a feeling of distance and nearness)" developed by Marilyn Rich- ard, "in her most sensitive performance of the aria 'Rejoice.'"

"Surely He Hath Born Our Grief,"

by Mary Williamson, "was both en- chanting and powerful," as was John Peck's "Why Do The Nations?", whose smallest detail of note was carried smoothly and clearly throughout." Commentary upon the soloists was concluded with an appreciation of the "Acumen" of House's relation to the music of "Thou Shall Break Them With A Rod Of Iron."

After recognizing the control exer-

cised by Fiedler in the often over- worked "Hallelujah" chorus, Kats again lauded the work of Richard In

"I Know That My Redeemer Liveth,"

"perhaps the most difficult solo • in.

the entire work." "The full chorus selections, "Since By Man Came Death," "Worthy Is The Lamb" and the "Amen," closed a very effective performance with a powerful burst of energy in which the entire group cooperated.

To the soloists, chorus, orchestra, piano and organ accompanists (Ada Becker Seidlin and Laurence Hardy), and Professor William Fiedler go our respect and appreciation for a fine demonstration."

Gertz & Stebbins

Dean of Men F. H. Gertz climaxed a dramatic chase when, on the first week of vacation, he discovered a stolen car parked in the University park- ing lot in back of the Carnegie Li- brary.

Commenting upon his find, Dean Gertz said to a reporter "I seen that car there for some time without think- ing much of it, 'cept I looked inside once. Then, on this morning - I w a s slipping out the back way for coffee - I grew suspicious because all the students had gone home and the Admin- istration can't afford Buicks."

Dean Gertz reported his suspicions to Police Chief Herrington Stebbins who checked with the State Police in North Htornell. The car, a '52 model, had been stolen in Buffalo, on Novem- ber 13, from Robert E. Tear, a sales- man from Whiteman, Mass.

Student Association Sends

Students To Turkey Conference

Forty Nations Consider Problems; Partizan Politics Restrict Reds

U. 8. N. 8. A. News; In conformance with the decision of its Annual Con- gress, the United States National Stu- dent Association (NSA) i s planning to send a delegation to participate in the Fourth International Student Con- ference to be held January 8-15, 1954 in Istanbul, Turkey. Among those attending will be James Edwards from the University of Illinois and Leonard!

Bebchick of Cornell University, the NSA's President and Vice-president for International Affairs respectively.

Participating in this year's Confer- ence will be the representatives of the National Unions of Students of forty nations throughout the world. Thus the Istanbul meeting will be the larg- est and most representative gathering of its kind ever to be assembled. The first such meeting took place in Stock- holm, Sweden in December 1950 after a number of National Unions of Stu- dents had concluded that fruitful cooperation with the Communist-domin- ated International Union of Students (IUS) was impossible because of the latter's partisan political orientation.

Thus the International Student Con- ferences were called to enable Nation- al Unions of the free world to meet on a basis of freedom and equality for the purpose of undertaking practical projects unmarked by partisan political objectives, operating upon a system of delegated responsibilities by which each participating National Union as- sumes the task of investigation and reporting upon certain problems which directly affect students as such, the International Student Conferences have undergone rapid growth. Because of its desire to promote international understanding and cooperation NSA has undertaken a most active role in these meetings.

The Stockholm Conference demon- strated its sense of responsibility to- wards its fellow students in under- developed countries by taking note of their needs and instituting the "Stu- dents Mutual Assistance Program (S MAP). It is the purpose of this program to strengthen the educational facilities an d student organizations in these areas.

Meeting the following January (1952), the Second International Stu- dent Conference, recognized the need for facilitating the exchange of information and thus aiding the investigation and solution of student problems, created the Coordinating Sec-

"The various types of optical glass . . . were compared!. Haze curves of each glass were shown, and possible reasons for the differences in surface durability were discussed. The haze- test results were compared wit'.i other types of durability tests."

The article was published in the Oc- tober issue of the- magazine. Credit Is given to scientists of the Bausch and Lomb. Optical Company.

retariat of the National Unions of Students (Cosec). This non-policy- making body, located in Leiden, Neth- erlands, serves to coordinate the activities of participating National Un- ions and thus acts as an administra- tive bridge between the Conferences.

Last year's meeting at Copenhagen was vastly more representative than large delegations from Latin America, Asia, Africa and other areas. An even larger representation is expected) a t Istanbul. The International Student Conference now provides the sole basis for broad international cooperation in the world student community, as the IUS has now atrophied into little more taan a non-representative splinter group.

Due to its great interest in aiding the peoples of t h e under-developed, and colonial areas, NSA has taken a large measure of responsibility for implementing SMAP. It has sent four representatives to Asia to investigate the conditions of students and their organizations, andi in many cases has made the initial contact with these groups. In addition, NSA publishes t h e International Student Information Service Bulletin (ISIS) directed at these areas. NSA is also in charge of the SMAP Library which serves as the archives and clearing house for all information related to the alleviation of student problems and the development of democratic student organizations in these areas.

In reporting to the Conference at Istanbul, NSA, as a result of its studies, will recommendi that a twelve man international team be sent to assist the student groups in India and Pak- istan. Eight of these, experts in student skills, will aid in the development of student cooperatives, student gov- ernments, student newspapers and other aspects of student life, while the remaining four team members, experts in technical skills, will encour- age the initiating of village projects by

Indian and Pakistan students.

A report of the activities of the International Student Conference will be available at its conclusion.

Speaker On Alcoholism To Appear Next Sunday

The Protestant Council will present A. Keith Ellinwood, author, lectur- er, and counselor.

-Mr. Ellinwaod will speak at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, January 17 at Kenyon Chapel. His subject will be devoted to "Alcoholism and Its Effects."

A. Keith Ellinwood has lectured in New York State's major penal institutions as well as many institutions of learning. A vital diiscussion period follows each lecture. Mr, Ellinwood is very happy to hold counsel with students individually.

The Wyoming County Medical As- sociation says of Mr. Ellinwood, "Best talk our group has had in years... Mr.

Ellinwood has been educated in schools of New York State, and Rutgers Unl«

versity.

'Guess things, didn't change muoh over vacation, 'cept, a few engagements - here and there. There were parties galore this week- end, followed by the usual slothfulness on Sunday 'mourning.'

We think the most exciting thing that could happen in Alfred

would be a party-less weekend. 'Course, this would not - in all probability - be very nice.

Anyway, here - in skeletal form - Is I the tabulation of events:

TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1954

Editorial

In compliance with a few-voiced request from some of our 'read- ers,' we are, this week, going to write an 'old fashioned' editorial.

This, we are told, means making uniform paragraphs, brief descriptive and critical Statements (e. g.: The library stinks.) and staying closely upon the subject of campus affairs (e. g.: Movie, master Nevins does not know a decent movie from a hole in the finger of his right glove.).

MOVIES ARE BETTER THAN EVER, in 'Alfred. More than ever before, we have had more and better westerns, pirate adven- tures, musicals, soul-stirring dramas, tear-jerkers and films for the intellectuals. Alfred has a wide range of students - speaking in eco- nomic, religious and intellectual interest terms. But, the movies should be picked for the average student.

So, to please th'e average student, Mr. Nevins is doing right in furnishing movies for mere relaxation and diversion. 'Ugh,' we say, on cultural stuff.

EXCEPT

Atfred has a wide range of students - speaking in economic, re- ligious and intellectual interest terms. But, Alfred is a University, a 'hall of learning.' Therefore, the students should be presented with ennobling movies - movies which express the finer aspects of our culture.

'The Tales of Hoffman' was a good movie. It featured socially acceptable music and dancing. This is good for us. W*can always go into Hornell for c,heap movies. Mr. Nevins is doing right!

. i RAH! »

Admitted that Carnegie Library is not the emporium of books

•which some schools have, but Alfred is not a large school. The selec- tion of books we have is fairly wide, and new ones are continually being added.

Although the stacks are closed, and there may be no smoking, it is better to have it this way than to have the books burned up, or stolen.

EXCEPT

The library is less helpful than the Free Library of nearby Scio. You can not smoke (a fusty rule), you can not get into the stacks (research is a useless attempt - you can'sooner think up a few facts for yourself, than note all books, wait for the page to wake-up and then sign ten blanks) and the selection of books is rank.

Who wants to read Ellery Queen mysteries? But just try to do a little work on Issac Bickerstaff. You cannot learn about your academic subjects if the library is turned over, as it is, to Zane Grey and Agatha Christie.

RAH!

We have heard too much about 'non-conformity.' What is the student coming to? H« supposedly comes to Alfred to learn the most pertinent facts about his culture, and civilization in general.

Therefore, we do not understand why he feels this 'need to 'be different.'

Such a great man as J. W. v Goethe contributed greatly to mankind, and was widely acknowledged as a sage - even by his own generation. Yet, he did not feel the need to exhibit himself as something unique. He did not wear tennis shoes when he took a walk on a winter afternoon.

He stood out from the ranks of 'ordinary men;' yet, the cause of his greatness was his assertion of the commonality of man.

EXCEPT

We have heard entirely too much about the virtue of con- formity. One hundred and fifty million people can be just alike - in these United States - and we will grow culturally solidified; extinct.

Witness: the dinosaur of a few million years back. This ani- mal was set in his ways; he ran to type. When conditions changed, the dinosaur became extinct.

The greatest gift possessed by mankind is its ability to see 'new horizons,' to forsee coming needs and possibilities - and to advance to meet them. This is done by those who are individuals; by people who are not content to be 'just like everyone else.'

J. W. v Goethe is a good example of an outstanding individual.

When people around him were saying that the world was 'better than ever,' Goethe tweaked a few ears and pointed out the holes in the tattered pants of society.

It is precisely because some men - Einstein, Steinmetz and the Wright Bros., to name a few - were willing to 'think in other cate- I gories' that we have the advanced society of the present,

RAH! i

Intellectuals are a bunch of sloppy crumbs. Some people think that all they have to do to gain a 'place in this world' is to let

ntis made pizza p f y Klan had one of their regular Sat- urday night parties last weekend.

Mr. and Mrs. Tony Kruzas were the chaperones of the party. During the evening* there was a 45 minute show of slides shown, concerning events that have taken place during last year around campus and connected with Klan.

Kappa Psi had its usual party last Saturday night.

Some of the girls from Sigma Chi had nice vacations. Flo Kalkhuis became engaged to Bow Frohman. Joyce Trevor became pinned to Dave Win-

ship, an alumnus of Penn. State. Bev Florence and Richard Shorts were mar-

ried Dec. 19.

Last Wed. nite Sigma went to Kappa Psi for dessert. Last night a dessert for honoraries and faculty members was held at the house.

At Omicron Sue Sage became engaged to Paul Weinstein. Also, Jan Jarvis pledged: Alpha Fred Gibbs over vacation.

Rona Osterweil of the Castle became engaged to Norman Seider on Dec.

25. Guess they had a Merry 01' Christ- mas!

Visiting the Castle this weekend was Marion Tuttle, a graduate of last June. Marion is now a school marm in Wellsville - just over the hill. Says she enjoys the business.

I suppose this is the 'other end.' Don't miss the next thrilling chapter, something is bound to happen.

Norwood Speaks Of Past

by Bruce A. Rosenberg

One of the last lines that Dr. Nor- wood spoke to me before I left his Alfred home was, "those days are gone forever." That phrase covered, for him, 58 years of a life story so filled I with what we like to think of as the promise of America, that it was almost as though he had quoted Hora- tio Alger in telling it.

Nelson J. Norwood is not a well known man to today's student. Un- doubtedly most of you have seen him on the street but I doubt that many of you realize that this short and frail man had been the driving force that had kept a university in Alfred through the most precarious periods of this century.

The most amazing part of this man's life came *before he was president of Alfred. Young Nelson was sixteen when he disembarked at Ellis Island from England, alone, to live with rel- atives in Alfred. He worked on a farm, hard and long.

Schooling began while he was still on the farm and' he finally went to what was then the Alfred Academy where a year's work was enough to enable 'him to start teaching. Profes- sional requirements then not being what they are today, the young student graduated from the Academy

•with a year's teaching experience be- hind him.

Then to Alfred University. It was now 1902. College was dispensed within the usual four years as a history and political science major and the next step was as instructor in the Olean High School. .

Now came a series of events that Dr.

Norwood1 insists on calling "lucky,"

but if it was "luck" such fortune was the product of hard work and super- ior scholarship. First, in the fall of 1907 he was awarded¹ a graduate scholarship to the University of Wisconsin.

Following that were fellowships to the University ; of Michigan in '08 (where work was begun on his doctor's thesis) and to Cornell. It was during this time that the doctor was married.

The fall of 1910 is a significant one in Alfred's history because it was then that a new associate professor took over as the head of Alfred's history department at the then high salary of one thousand dollars. It was Nor- wood, of course.

Thirteen years later the history department's chairman was appointed a very grudging dean of the Univer- sity. Grudgingly so because, like most professional instructors, he wanted' to teach and did not care for the admin- istrative life. The doctor was goodl at this1 job that he didn't want, just as he had been excellent as an- instruc- tor. He was the obvious choice for the university presidency when death left that post vacant in 1933.

At this point most "success" stories would end. Thus far we have seen an immigrant boy of the Alger tradition work while attending school and spend- ing many extra hours a day in extra reading in the manner in which Lin- coln educated himself, and our story might end in the final success as he becomes president of the university that he once attended.

But it does not end there for 1933 was just the beginning for Alfred and Dr. Norwood1. There was a depression to fight and a fading college to keep open; somehow he did it. There were few students and most of those had no money; there were expenses to be met and teachers to be fed andi it would have been an impossible fight for a much bigger man had physical sizie been a criterion. But Norwood saw it through and more, he saw Al- fred through.

Still there was no cessation. World War II was upon him and that meant no students at all but he kept things going, kept the University in business and saw his alma mater through it all once again. But now the war had fin- ished him, too, and he resigned sev- enteen days after its end, after threat-

ening to do so for more than a year.

Having seen the school through its most trying moments, his job finally completed, he withdrew into retire- ment.

The most tragically ironic part of this man's life is that he walks our streets almost unnoticed.

Out Oi Bounds

by June Copley

Having returned from a gay holiday to studies at Alfred, all news- from outlying institutions of learning is examined with interest.

At Boston University there is some chaos among the students concerning the wearing of knee socks. An official po-11 has not been conducted, but the opinions of the males are di- verse. They range from: "Oh come now, it can't be that cold," to "Ugh."

At Alfred it's that cold.

The Sigma Delt Chi 'Sour Owl' of City College produced this "gem." If a fellow tries to kiss a girl and. gets away with it, he's a man; if he tries and doesn't get away with it, he's a brute; if he doesn't try and would get away with it if he tried; he's a cow- afd; but if he doesn't try and wouldn't have gotten away with if he had tried, he's got the wrong girl.

The 'Central Michigan Life' has two correspondents who are vacationing in Florida. Their summary of conditions there is;

'Terrible weather . . . can't go out- side without getting a sunburn.

'Terrible people . . . always slap- ping you on the back.

'Terrible students . insist on calling you "sir."

'Terrible beaches . . . always over- crowded with bathing beauties.' - - - Isn't it "Terrible?"

Those of us, who are not lolling in the sun on a beach, must withdraw to some studying. Au revoir until further word is obtained.

Universal Art Is World In Self

by Bert Katz

U. N. Standby

by Jenny Gobert

In his recent "State of the Union Message/' President Elsenhower stressed the fact that we must sup- port the United Nations as the only place in the world where free nations can seek justice and agressors can be punished. »

I'm sure that most of us heartily agree with the President. However, we still find a few diie-hard isolation- ists, or jpeudo-patriots, who claim that the United Nations is nothing but an organization which hides spies and traitors to the United States and is extremely dangerous to our national well being.

These are tne people that must be convincedi of the good that the United Nations can bring to the United States and the world. This is one of the aim*

of the Model United Nations which will be held here in April. The vital function of the Model U. N. is to orientate citizens of the United States as to the U. N., and, thus, make them worthwhile citizens of the world community.

As students of A'fred University we are given the honor, and responsibility of building a peaceful world. If we should fail at such a relatively minor tack toward peace, how can we expect to ever have a peaceful and prosperous wprld? I again' renew my plea for more workers from Alfred to help with the Model UN. Little is expected of you, but much can be gained for the world.

Fifty-five schools have already sent in applications to participate in our UN. Since most of these were In before December 19, countries were &&•

signed to them at the meeting of the continuation committee on that day.

The major powers were given to the following schools: the United States to Princeton, U. S. S. R. to Penn.

State, France to the University of Pennsylvania, Canada to Ursinus, andi United Kingdom to Albany State Tech- ers.

The other countries were assigned to various Mid-Atlantic colleges. Since Alfred is the host college, we will have last choice as to countries if there are any left.

The committees were decided on, and the resolutions for each committee were assigned to various countries.

On the first committee, dealing with, political and security problems, t'iio Korean question and the Palestine question will be discussed. The United States, U. S. S. R. and India, will bring up resolutions as to the first question, and the United Kingdom, Syria, and Israel for the second question.

The second committee on economic and social problems w)ll consider the refugee problem. Resolutions will be presented by Netherlands, Columbia, and Poland; measures for the expansion of international trade resolutions by Canada, Czechoslovakia, Indonesia, and Chile; and technical assistance in the fields of prevention of discrimin- ation and protection of minorities res- olution by Burma and Sweden.

The trusteeship committee will de- cide on the Tunisian and Moroccan questions, and participation of indig- enous inhabitants of trust territories in the government of those territories and' in the work of the trusteeship

"The Philosophy of Modern Art"

by Herbert Read, Horizon Press, New York 1853', 26'8 pp, illustrated $4.50 The publication is available at the College oft Cpramic'v Lifin'atry. »

The "Philosophy of Modern Art"

presents a clear and lucid investigation into the complexities of t,he under- lying meaning of contemporary art.

Mr. Read investigates the social as- i pect of art in relation to the artist

| and the advantages and disadvantages of state patronage of artists in the early chapters of the book.. Thorough- ly analyzing this problem, he^ points out that the artist's fellow taxpayers may not be interested in supporting a profession that no longer has any

"economic sanction."

The problem of who would select the creative work to be supported is another of the authors considerations.

! The possibility of the decadence of the artist's work for the sake of be- j ing supported by the state is included I in Mr. Read's logical argument.

The author proceeds to speak of art I in the general sense as toe explains the I meaning of such categories of contemporary art as: "Analitical Cubism,"

"Synthetic Cubism," "Surrealism,"

andi the "Romantic Period." Read be-

| comes more specific when he discusses such well-known painters as: Picasso, Gauguin, Dali, Gabo, Nickelson and Klee. Within these chapters lie his

•careful interpretation regarding the meaning of their work.

Throughout the book the reader is aware of the universality of modern art, indeed, art in general. Art becomes a world in itself; a world to which Read relates all other activity.

The science of mathematics, psychol- ogy, and sociology and a true explana- tion of the whole creative process are brought to the surface in comprehen- sible terms. "Modern Art" is no longer a mystery, if the reader cooperates in understanding the author's logic.

Read deletes any abnormality as far as the personal feelings and extra sen- sibility of the artist is concerned. The author's purpose i» to clarify the per- sonality of the artist as he, the artist is related to the work he produces. To better understand a work of art through the painter's eyes, is Herbert Read's aim.

In his essays Read constantly re- iterates the need for the reader to consider art as an expression related

to man.

In his preface, the author claims,

"There is no phase of art, from the paleothic cave paintings to the lat- est development of constructivism that doea not seem to me to be an illustra- tion of the biological and teleologlcal

lipines, Egypt and Ukrainian S. S. R.

significance of the aesthetic activity in man. Such is the hypothesis that underlies these essays, and gives them whatever logical coherence they may possess."

One cannot help but be aware of this worldliness of art. Since art is created by man it must be inherent in man. "Human Art and Inhuman Na- ture," one of the essays in Mr. Read's book, goes into great detail to make the reader aware of this relationship.

Those things most basic to life revolve around creative art. It is no more than am expression of an ever-changing world.

These are the thoughts Mr. Read leaves in our minds, together with a better understanding of what "Art" is.

The only requirements for the benefit of this understanding is the reader's cooperation with the author.

Firemen assisted by the Alfred Station Fire Company worked until after midnight to halt the fire which occured on one of the coldest nights, to date this winter.

The University Diner, which Ninos had leased for operation by others, had been operated about four hours a day since Thanksgiving.
