One Of These Senior Girls Will Wear The Crown At St. Pat's
University, AT To Hold Voting In Near Future
No one knows exactly when, or who is running for what, but the Ag-Tech and University are planning to hold their elections on successive weeks in the near future, depending on the ability of the Senate Election Com- mittee to obtain election booths and Dean Hawthorne's success in shuffling assemblies.
"Nominations are open for Senate president and c l a s i s officers," an- nounced Daniel Foster '50, chairman of the Elections Committee. "Whether the Union board elections are held at this time will depend on how the new union is to be governed."
Foster set March 7 as the -deadline for class officer and presidential candi- dates. So far no candidate has offici- ally tossed his derby into the ring.
Eligible to run for the S e n a t e presidency, according to article IV, section 2 of the constitution is "any member of the Senate who is enter- ing his final year of study a t Alfred University...." or "any other student who is entering his last year of study and has served on the Senate for one y e a r . . . .upon presentation to the Sen- ate of a petition signed by 25 stu- d e n t s . . . . " In the event that more than five candidates enter, a primary election will be held to choose three candidates for a final election.
Under tne system being used, presi- dential aspirants may enter the race by submitting their names to any member of the election committee who are, besides Foster, Alan Abra- hams '53, Harry Blatt '53, Lewis Ma- dan AT, Carl Meade AT and Charles Rabiner '53.
Candidates for c l a s s office will probably be chosen at class meetings.
According to the Ag-Tech Student Council constitution, Ag-Tech elec- tions are supposed to take place one week before the University elections.
Since the latter have not been deter- mined, the Council, has been able only to set its date tentatively within t h e next two weeks. The date of the Uni- versity elections will d e p e n d on w'.iether the March 9, assembly date f.an be made available for the tradi- (ional speeches of the Candidates.

University Obtains Soft Coal Priority Averting Shortage
The university is down to a ten-day coal supply, Treasurer E. K. Lebohner announced Friday, as the coal snort- age becomes more acute in other parts of New York state. However, Mr. Le- bohner revealed that the university has a priority issued by the state coal administrator, allowing the purchase of coal.
"Some coal is arriving at Alfred daily and with conservation, the uni- vergity should be able to get through the shortage with out drastic cuts in heating," he declared.

Ex-Marine Takes Metalworking Course To Enjoy Retirement
By Jerry Smith
Most students go to college to prepare for a career, but not Ward A. Rolfe, 49. He is interested in "Retirement—How to Enjoy It."
That is why the veteran of 24 years in the U. S- Marine Corps is learning an avocation this year at Alfred. Nominally, he is a fresh- man in the metalworking course at
the School for American Craftsmen.
"I'm too old for liberal arts and be- sides I like tl\e feel of metal," said the former gunnery instructor.
Mr. Rolfe's service record reads like the Marine Corps hymn, but he tells
to the rear under fire. His command- ing officer. Capt. Lloyd W. Williams, is reported to have told the French,
"Retreat Hell, we just got here."
Re-enlisting in 1927, Rolfe served in true Marine fashion "on the land it as colorlessly as an official letter. I and on the sea" — navy yard guard The story opens with a verse about and general duty from Boston to San
Newman Club Will Hear Father Francis O'Connor

Tommy Tucker Will Provide Music For March Formal Ball
Tommy Tucker and his orchestra will play for the St. Pat's Ball Friday, March 17. The long awaited announce- ment came last week from Jack Gard- ner .co-chairman of the St. Pat's Board.
Tucker and his "Sing For Your Sup- per" outfit will feature vocalists Don Brown and Gloria Foster. Also spot- lighted in his orchestra is Billy Dee, a "comedian in swing time on the sax."
Besides nationwide appearances in hotels, theatres and ballrooms, Tucker has played on numerous radio shows including "Spotlight Bands" and "Pot O' Gold." He has played recent en- gagements at the Hotel Astor Roof in New York, the Roosevelt Hotel in Washington and Copley Plaza in Bos- ton.
Tucker's biggest selling platter at- tractions have been "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire" and "The Man Who Goes Around."
The young maestro made his debut as. an orchestra leader soon after leaving the University of North Dakota. He and a group of classmates' organized to play dance dates during summer vacations and in a short time
"made a remarkable successful rise to the top of the musical heap."
Commenting on the band selection, Gardner said, "I think we've been lucky to get a band that will give us the type of music we want. Many of the guys who danced to the music of Tommy Tucker while they were in the service said they liked him very much and that if we had him for St. Pat's we couldn't go wrong."

Dr. H. Simpson Talks On Glass
"Glass is one of the world's oldest materials yet, in the 20th century, it remains one of the newest," said Dr.
Harold E. Simpson, of the State Col- lege of Ceramics at the regular monthly meeting of the Alfred Uni- versity faculties, Feb. 20.
In his talk on "Glass in the Home"
Dr. Simpson, professor of glass tech- nology, described modern uses and un- usual properties of glass as it is" used in insulation, s o l a r heating, cloth.

Red Cross Drive To Begin Sunday
The University's 1950 Red Cross drive will start at a kick off Tea, Mar.
5 at the home of Mrs. H. O. Burdick.
Goal for this year's drive which will continue until Mar. 10, has been set at $1025.
Collections will be made for the whole community, but the University will receive separate recognition for its contributions. Students will be contacted at their residences by volun- teer workers. One dollar entitles the giver to membership in the local col- lege unit.
Part of the money collected goes to the National Red Cross for benefits tt> veterans and men in the armed f o r c e ? and for disaster relief and health promotion. The remainder of the money stays in Alfred in the re- volving fund for emergency loans to veterans.
The first aid course given to the ski patrol was one of the most recent local Red Cross projects. A course in child care open to college students is being planned for this semester.
Mrs. H. O. Burdick is chairman of the local drive and Katherine Cretekos '51 is head of the student drive. Clar- ence Mitchell will again act as trea- surer.

It Takes Two People . . .
Last week, we took an indirect stab at the present assemblies and the compulsory assembly system. (Well, the fault lies on botH sides).
There was a time when assemblies were not compulsory, when students went because they wanted to—it was almost a social must that everyone go to the assembly. Gradually, this feeling waned and the University, to make it worthwhile to contract for assembly ma- terial, passed a rule that assembly be compulsory.
Despite criticism of the administration for its rules and regula- tions, any thinking p e r s o n will see that the administration often makes attempts to do away with seemingly unreasonable rules. It is a known fact, that there will be several volunteer assemblies given this year, of good and attractive quality, to see if the students will attend if there is something of interest to be presented.
This week, the first such assembly will be held — a student tal- ent show. The University is making the first move in removing the compulsory assembly; by doing this they are showing their willing- ness to co-operate with the students
No real gain has ever been made in any controversy when one side is forced to make all the concessions. It is not fair nor is it a healthy situation. We have stressed co-operation before but in this particular instant it is particularly important. The University, after all, has the upper hand in that is has the power to govern the stu- dents. If they are willing to take the first step toward voluntary as- semblies, it is only sensible that the students go along with them. We will have several opportunities to show our willingness to attend a
"good" assembly. Let us not miss an opportunity to correct a situ- ation that pleases no one.
Seniors, Please Note
A recent New York Times article warned 1950 college graduates that competition for employment in June would be "severe."
Because most students are aware of the reduced opportunities, job hunting will begin much earlier than it did a year ago. In men- tioning several types of job which would be scarce, the article said,
"Only salesmen face many excellent opportunities in view of more intensifified competition for the consumer's dollar Engineers found last June that, for the first time "There were more engineering graduates available than there were jobs."
Hard hit, too, will be women students in all fields and ''avail- able teaching positions have b e g u n to fall off." Salary-wise, BA graduates can expect about $250 per month. A technical or masters degree is worth $25 more per month to start.
If students here have not begun to think about summer jobs or seek permanent employment, they had better start soon.

As revealed in last week's Fiat the cafeteria section of the Cam- pus Union has been taken over by the University. The question of the week is "What is your opinion of the change in management in the Campus Union?"
Nancy Kelly '50 "I think it's a good idea."
Al Sagnall '50 "Has there been any change?"
Arthur Sheb '50, "I have three months to go and I like it here."
Joseph Paterniti '50 "Since some of the loss was capital investment why shouldn't they let the students try to pull themselves oout of the hole."
Frank Mustico '50 "From past ex- periences I would say that the stu- dents have failed to take the respon- sibility necessary to run the Union successfully. Under these circum- stances I think that the action taken by the University was justified."
Phil Morrison '51 "I would like to see a more thorough explanation of the causes for the change."
Judy Leondar '52 "If they make the improvements that were promised it will be a good thing but they should not separate

Frank Schroeder '50 "I think if they run it more efficiently it is a good idea. I don't think that the Campus Union w i l l be big enough if it is divided."

Freshman Fish
By Barry Fliegel
You live and learn the fella says, but I'm inclined to disagree with the fella. I've made mistakes before and I'll make them again. Take the other day:
I am sitting at a table in Bartlett, eating a hearty, nutricious supper, when the conversation turns to money.
Ah, money! Concentrating on what I am eating, I don't pay too much at- tention to what everyone is saying.
As the meal draws to a close "Baldy"
Harris brings out the desert. His one hearty laugh tipped us off. One taste of the desert made me agree with him.
To tell the truth, it looked like a com- position of the explosion of the atom bomb, and a beat up pancake.
After all the boys had tasted it, Bob Mass "was the only person to de- cide that it wasn't so bad. A quick huddle ensued and it was decided that we could raise $1.75 if he would eat all eight deserts. You live and learn the fella says and it cost us
$1.75 to prove it.

Night And Day
Overwhelmed by the Sunday after- noon intricacies of rushing, Ruthie Vail was unable write her column. She did manage to send us her notes, via messenger, and we hereby render a last minute translation.
It says here that "Sorority rushing ended Monday night with pledge ser- vices at four sororities. Four dinners were held last week at each house.
The final rush party took place Sun- day."
Lambda hats a Party
"Lambda Chi held openhouse Friday night," Ruth says, and "a hat dance was held. The styles were comical and original. Doughnuts and coffee were served.
"Psi Delta had a party after the game. John Shelden presided at the punch bowl."
More Quotes
"An open house was held at Delta Sig Saturday. The great conductor and composer, Jack O' Gardner di- rected singing, accompanied (some word we can't make out) by Phil Hes- singer on the guitar."
"Kappa Psi had an open house Sat- urday night. It was quite a colossal celebration."
"Klan had an open house Saturday.
The "Old Beacon" came back to life in all its glory. Community singing was enjoyed."
Initiations
"Kappa Psi initiated the following new members Sunday:" Good, they're all alphebetized and everything. "Rich- ard Alliegro '51, David Benzing '52, Hal Polanski '52, Dr. Lawrence Bick-
•ford, Donald Johnson '51, James Reed '5S, Hal Renkert '53, Frank Rizzuto '51, John St. Clair '52, Thomas Uschold '52 and Tom Whallen '53."
Cabbages
Now these seem to be a list of odds and ends. "Frank Mustico '50 was elected vice president of Kappa Nu,"
Miss Vail says.
"Dean Sam Scholes was chief wait- er at Delta Sig Sunday.
"Pinky Thomkin AT was a guest of Psi Delta this week.
"Jack Macullen, John Budd and Ken Stephens visited Lambda Chi during the week.
"June Minnick and Nancy Macln- tyre visited Omicron this week."
Then Ruthie goes on to say that Bandy Crandall '52 and Edith Fagen '48 visited Sigma Chi this weekend;
That Eleanor Hochenbug '52 visited Theta Chi this past week; that Dr.
and Mrs. Warren and Prof. Stapleton were guests of Kappa Nu for dinner;
and that — well, well — and that Nancy Kelly '50 has become engaged to Val Clute '51.
Don't go 'way
Wait a minute, there is some other stuff here. Here's a note from Al Bax- ter that says that John McCuflum and John Busch, house alumni, were guests at Lambda Chi.
Here's another one from Theta Gam- ma. A newly formed chapter of Theta Gamma Phi, of the Buffalo S t a t e School of Applied Arts and Sciences, was initiated at Theta Gamma a week ago, Saturday. "Ten charter member^
and three advisors "it. says, were pre*
ent for dinner, indoctrination cere- monies and a party. Theta Gamma honoraries present were W a l t e r Hinkle, Andrew Hritz and T. A.
Parish."
"Theta Gamma held and informal party at their house Saturday night following the basketball game," this memo adds.
Mittens
There are also a pair of mittens among Miss Vail's notes, but they do not seem to be particularly significant of any great trend in society.

The main reason that the infirmary does not handle these tests is due to the lack of space for equipment and lack of time. Also, it provides an ex- cellent opportunity for lab tech stu- dents to obtain practical experience under actual conditions.
Campus Calendar Ag-Tech Lab Students Don't Just Learn
From Books; They Discover Ailments
By Corrine Weld
A great many of us on campus undoubtedly have passed by the clinical laboratory in the basement of the Ag-Tech main building in the course of our wanderings around Alfred, but chances are that few of us realize this lab is more than just a student practice lab. Act- ual tests are made here almost every day to assist in diagnosing the ailments of Clawson Infirmary patients.
From the five schools on campus, all infirmary patients who require tests are sent to the Ag-Tech clinical laboratory for check-ups on blood count or urinalysis, etc. In some cases, such as metabolism, where the pati- ent should remain in the infirmary overnight for best results, lab tech students perform the tests at the in- firmary.
"An average of 100 patients are treated by the s t u d e n t s during a 6Chool year," George Gregory, labora- tory technology department head stated. "Through these tests we have uncovered several minor anemias and a case of leukemia," he continued. Mr.
Gregory has headed the department since its inception six years ago.
During an afternoon clinical lab- oratory class, the number of patients who put in an appearance may vary from one to three. Two specially-as- signed technicians-to-be prepare the equipment, the patient, and perform the necessary tests. Usually this con- sists of a complete blood count (called a CBC by lab-techs) and an occasional sedimentation ("sed") rate. In the
"sed" rate test, the size of the red blood cells is determined by the rate at which they settle in a saline solu- tion.
In the event that a patient cannot visit the laboratory during a class, Mr. Gregory assigns one or more stu- dents to take charge of the required tests at a time which is convenient to the patient. Following s u c h tests which are m,ade at the request of Dr.
Kenneth Burdick, infirmary physician, the results are telephoned to the in- firmary. These results assist Dr. Bur- dick in diagnosing the patient's ill- ness.

Some of them think that nobody sees their finals before they're supposed to. It's amaz- ing, isn't it? You can go to school for so long and get all the degrees in the world, and then go out and teach, and still not realize that some of your students have put one over on you.
We know one prof that used to go-0- around bragging about how "nobody ever tried to swipe any of my exams."
Well, you know what happened? Yea^
you *guessed i t . . . . somebody tried. It happened something like this. The prof lived a good hike from the col- lege where she taught, and so during:
the winter months she kept a sleeping bag in her office, just in case there was a big snow s t o r m and she became stranded. Well, of course, during ftu- als the big snow storm came and she was stranded, so when the day ended she slipped into her sleeping bag far

Footlight drib's, St. Pat's Plays Will Feature Variety Of Music
By Marvin Peterson Variety... .said the sage.... is the
spice of life. And variety is what the Footlight Club has planned for the students of Alfrea in the form of tv.o musicals, now being reaaidy for pre- sentation during the Saint Pat's Week- end. It would indeed be hard to find two musicals as far apart, in point of time, than "Down in the Valley" and
"Bastien and Bastienne".
Kurt Weill. composer of the former, is very definitely a product of the Twentieth Century and his "Down in the Valley" is one of his most recent works. Mozrrt, on the -Mid1 hand, lived in the Eighteenth Century and this work reflects all the graea and charm of that particular period. Since Mi.nun if so well known :o modem music lovers, only a mere mention of his work will be included here. "Bas- tien and Bastienne" is one of the light- est gayest, and one of the roost hu- i.orous of all his works. The uuii-'c is full of graceful melodies and charm- ing minuets, yet conveys all the hu-
mor that is in the plot. On hearing this work, one will appreciate more the genius of the boy Mozart (written when Mozart was a mere twelve years old.) This opera is one of the best short operas ever written, and it is a pity more are not given the chance to see and hear it presented.
Kurt Weill's "Down In the Valley"
needs a fuller explanation. Kurt Weill is one of the modern composers who is trying to develop the music of American Folk Songs. He will be re- membered for his "Beggers Opera",
"Street Scene" (which enjoyed a long run on Broadway), and his currently successful "Lost in the Stars" starring Tod Duncan. Mr. Weill. like George
Gershwin with his "Porgy and Bess", has succeeded in creating a musical that reaLly expresses all the beauty and simplicity of American Folk- songs, in the modern music idiom,
them right up off the ground and swept them out of sight, snow storm or no snow storm.
The moral of the story is that it could happen to you, prof, and if you dn't believe us, try napping in a sleep- ing bag in your office some time.
In writing this column, we are try--0- ing to make it more evident that, con- trary to some people's opinions, cheat- ing is getting out of hand at Alfred and should be stopped. We realize that most of the profs on campus under- stand the situation and wish to curb it, but we also realize that some prof*
don't savvy the set-up but should. Be- sides that, the cheaters think that no- body knows about them, and we're- hoping to surprise a few by disclos- ing some of their methods.
Probably the simplest and most-0- frequent method of cheating is climb- ing in the unlocked window of a profs office in search of the final. In their rush, students sometimes leave desk drawers and files open, all of which obviously shows they had been broken into. Cheating got so far out of hand this past semester that two students climbed up to a first story window on one of our new buildings, flashed a light inside to see if the window was

But the most well-known method of cheating concerns waste baskets.

music on the piano, and watching the singers practice their dance routines, one could almost imagine himself at a real Wesstern Hoe-down, and could almost see the real life dancers, the fiddlers, and so forth that make up an authentic hoe-down. The music is that real. I imagine it was quite a task for Mr. Weill to1 gather, edit, re- compose and orchestrate all of the myriad of American Folk-tunes and
rather than the student.
Many students have gone to any end-O- to obtain an exam before it was given.
For example, in the University boiler room there's a board with a whole batch of keys on it. Many* students thought these were the master keys to the different buildings on the cam- pus. With this in mind, many would- be-cheaters took some kind of mecha- songs into such a smooth, quick paced, j n i c a l g a d g e t t o t h e b o l I e r r o o m t o get Ptl.rl paspntiallir a ,1 than tt/» r.«^..«essentially authentic score.
The story contains bits of typical folk-lore scenes throughout the en- tire work. The hoe-down, as men- tioned, the revival, or typical camp meeting, and innocent, native love are all a part of it. Mr. Weill has not neglected a single facet of the many sided southern valley life.
If anyone has seen or heard the music to Aaron Copland's ballet "Ro- deo," he can appreciate, in a small way, something of the type of music that will be presented. That work in ither concert or actual performance never fails to receive anything less than an ovati<#n, and I am sure that this work will receive the same treat-
! ment.

After this there was many a disillusioned cheater, for of all the keys on this board there was only one that fitted a lock in Alfred. And that key was to the Greene Hall barns.
Nevertheless, many keys are floating around the campus and it might not be a b a d idea if some l o c k s were changed.

We wonder why so many students have gone to endless extremes in an effort to get hold of an exam. Could it have been because there was noth- ing to lose and plenty to gain? Could it have been because of the over-em- phasis on final exams? Why have final exams anyway?
If the administration and the facul- ty directed their probe towards dis- covering why students cheat rather served in a machine-gun company a- I than how to stop them from cheating, ' " " - - - they might be getting much closer to
the core of the problem.

Maple City, Burdick Center In Basketball League Controversy
The Intramural Basketball E League is the scene of the hottest controversy since the formation of the new Constitution.
Ed Shane '49 has been playing ball for the Maple City Five ever aince their second game of the season. Shane is at present employed by the School of Ceramics as a staff
member. Up to the middle of October he was enrolled as a graduate stu- dent, but dropped out long before the basketball season Dave Flammer '50, as representative for Burdick Hall, has protested that since Shane is neither a member of the faculty or the 6tudent body. He is ineligible for par- ticipation in intramural athletics. At a meeting this week, Flammer*s pro- test was upheld and Shane was de- clared ineligible. The decision was- based on a letter from Dean McMahon which stated thaf Shane was not con- sidered a member of the faculty .
As the league stands, Maple Citiy is undefeated but Burdick's only loss was to Maple City with Shane in the lineup. If S h a n e ' s ineligibility is grounds for reversal of the outcome of this game and all other similiar games in which he played, Burdick Hall would become undefeated and therefore League Champs.
Up to now a ruling would be simple. | It seems however, that at the be- ginning of the season, S h a n e ap- proached Coach Greene and explained his status to him. Greene then de- clared Shane eligible and so he started playing in all the Maple City games.
The •misunderstanding was between Shane and Coach Greene as to whether he was a student, faculty member, or staff member. The fact remains that Greene did tell Shane to go ahead and play. If Shane presented his status falsely to Coach Greene and got per- mission or eligibility in this manner, he is at fault and has violated Intra- mural rules. If Shane presented his status accurately and there was a mis- interpretation by Greene, then the fault is with the authorities and not with Shane. Both Parties have been approached for an account of the con- versation and both accounts are op- posite. Coach Greene stated that he granted permiission only under the impression that Shane had giv,en him, namely that he was a graduate stu- dent. Dick O'Neil '50, speaking for Shane, claims that Shane presented himself as being a former graduate ' student now on the staff.
The m e et i n g this week was at- tended by Director of Intramural Ath- letics, Coach Greene; the president of the Intramural Council, Floyd Eng- lish; the Viice-President of the Intra- mural Council, Bill Brison; and the Secretary-Treasurer of the Council Jim Kearney. There was no repre- sentation from either side of the pro- test. As a result some of the facts were not presented and the group voted without full knowledge of the situation. Their vote was that Shane was ineligible and this is not to be questioned. What is to be questioned is what will be done with all the games in which he played including the one with .Burdick Hall. If he played with the knowledge that he had misrepresented himself in gaining eli- gibility, no one will sympathize with a decision depriving Maple City of these victories; if he played with the honest thought that he was eligible, as Greene had told him, then it would be unjust to hand him a decision that all games in which he played are con- sidered lost by Maple City.
What must be decided is what was said in the conversation b e t w e e n Greene and Shane. Who is better qualified to decide but these two men themselves? How then can a group decide this controversy without in- cluding both men? What hangs in the balance is the championship of the E League and a berth in the Play- offs which start on Saturday.
Red Occupation Affects Future Of Glass Major
The Red occupation of Shanghai be- came a reality to an Alfred University student this week when he learned that the Communist government had
"assumed supervision of" the family glass plant.
Hung-Wen Chiu, 33, was extremely reticent about discussing more than essential details of the "transfer" of the the million-dollar plant.
"I may return soon and my family still is there," he said. His family in- cludes his wife, Lucy, a niece of Dr.
Wellington Koo, present Chinese am- 'Essentially, the plant now will be operated as co-operative corporation in which we will supply the machinery and technique and the government will supply the money," he explained.
The Tsing Hua Glass Company, manu- facturers of bottles and water tumb- lers, is fully automatic and one of the most modern in China.
Mr. Chiu said the plant probably would be moved northward to Tsing- tao where it will be nearer to raw materials and one of the largest coal mines in China. Brother and brother- in-law are operating the plant.
The Shanghai student, who has taken advanced courses in glass tech- nology at the State College of Cera- mics since September 1948, said his plans were indefinite but that it was extremely unlikely that he -would be able to bring his family to the United States.
Also of concern to Mr. Chiu is fate of a family silk mill, the largest in China, and a chemical plant. Both are in Shanghai.
Hold Graduate Club Meeting Thursday
The first meeting of the Graduate Club for the second semester was held Thursday, Feb. 23, at 8 p.m. in the Ag- Tech Lounge.
Dean H. O. Burdick spoke on the topic "Education — For What?." He mentioned the various reactions to present-day l i f e and education in America, ranging from the extreme of "psychological adolescence" to that of "intellectual snobbery." Dr. Bur- dick pointed out that we must be aware of the responsibilities that go along with the privilege of education, and participate in civic affairs and planning for world peace in order to combat fears and insecurity felt in our society today.
During the business meeting. Presi- dentHenry Cleeves appointed a pro- gram committee consisting of Rame- shwary Tiwary and Gordon Conklin for the next meeting which is tenta- tively scheduled for March 23. The speaker will be Dr. Harold C. Hodge of the Atomic Energy Laboratory in Rochester. N.Y. Dr. Hodge was pres- ent at the atomic bomb test at Bikini.
The exact title of his talk, and the time place of the meeting will be an- nounced at a later date.
Hobart Five Edges Out Frosh 49-47
In their last two times on the floor the Frosh split, taking one from the Intramural All-Stars by 3 counters and dropping one by a bucket to Ho- bart.
Last Tuesday in an away game at Hobart the Frosh were defeated in a squeaker, 49-47. For the Junior Sax- ons, "liittle Johnnie" Castiglia t i t double numbers again with 21 while
"big Johnnie" Pullano got 14.
For Hobart, Al Shantz and Bill Cook garnered 19 and 13.
In their game with the Intramural All-Stars, a hard fighting Frosh team pulled it out of the fire to the tune of 39-36. Johnnie Pullano was big gun for the Little Alfs with 13 and Theta Gamma's Bill Hall hit for 12 to lead the All-Stars' scoring.
Dick Hauser played a fine support- ing game under the boards and racked up 10 himself. Playing the same game, and scoring the same, was Kappa Psl's Paul Flurschutz.
Also scoring for the All-Stars were Dae MeCormick of the Bartlett Wait- ers with 7, Kappa Nu's Harvey Printz who got 6 before he fouled out, and Lambda Chi's Bob Hitchcock with 1.
Johnnie Castiglia was held to 4 by Bruce Tarquino who was so busy set- ting up the other players, he couldn't reach the scoring columns.
The question of the week: Is Dick Gotzmer in Ag-Tech or the Ceramic Design school? For sure, he's got de- elgns. Don't you, Dick?

Jamestown Division Slated To Become Community College
Alfred University's Jamestown ex- tension is slated to become the James- town Community College, a part of the state university program. The change will be effective July 1, an- nounced Dean A. E. Whitford, super- visor of the extension.
Five Jamestown men have already been chosen to act as trustees of the college and Governor Dewey is sched- uled to appoint four more within the near future.
"The college will operate next year with the present staff and faculty un- der the new program, Dean Whitford said. Director George Beebe will re- main as head of the college according to present plans. '
For the past ten years, the James- town Extension has conducted a two year liberal arts program supervised by Alfred University and governed by a citizens' committee. Transfer credits are accepted by Alfred and other colleges.
When the extension becomes' a col- lege the liberal arts program will form the nucleus of the program with several two-year technical courses to be added later.

WSSF Pledges Due At Senate MeetingTonight
Operating under the gavel of Vice- President Litchard Dickinson '50, the Senate put several issues on the fire without getting anything cooked.
A one week World Student Service Fund drive began with Adam DiGen- naro '50, drive chairman, distributing solicitors cards. The Senate mem- bers are scheduled to complete their soliciting this evening.
A motion by Lawrence Selew'ach '50 to vote merchan Al Rawady $30 to help pay for $90 worth of Senate Keys distributed last week, was passed by a large majority. The keys were pre- sented to the Senate as a gift from Rawady who had asked President Daniel Foster what he could do to re- pay the Senate for granting him the franchise on freshman caps.

"that if he insisted on expressing his appreciation, he might present the Senate with keys, since only the of-

Major dill Reynolds, Oregon '40 Pilot-Professor, U£
Bill was an all-round athlete. He chose football as his favorite sport, made the varsity teams at Pomona Junior College and also at the University of Oregon.
The 1st Observation Squadron, Fort Riley, Kansas was Lieutenant Reynolds' first assignment. While there he met the future Mrs. Reynolds. They married a year later and now have two fine sons.
A Theta Chi, Bill enjoyed campus social life. Found that it eased the pressure of rugged athletics and his heavy study schedule in Personnel Management.
The Squadron moved to Panama, "then to the Pacific. Bill advanced from pilot to operations officer to squadron com- mander. He came home a Major and qualified for a Regular Commission.
Upon graduation, Bill chose a future in the Air Force. He "flew" his first Link trainer as an Aviation Cadet in 1940. By March, 1941, he had won his pilot wings.
