Students Have Vote Gn ? 37 Forum Slate
Assisted by the preferences of the student body and faculty expressed in assembly this morning, the new Forum committee will contract five
• r six well-known men and women to appear before Alfred audiences next year on the Forum programs.
In contrast to the thousand dollar program of this year the committee Jiopes to put over a campaign for
$1200-$1400, which will enable them to engage such men as Lowell Thomas, The Manihatten String Quartet, for the opening of the Forum.
With Carl Sandburg, Rockwell Kent, Lloyd Douglass. Dr. Raymond Ditmars, Lowell Thomas, The Man- katten String Quartet, Capt. Albert Stevens, Warden Lewis Lawes and Rabbi Stephen Wise to choose from the Forum next year should exceed this year's by a large margin. Sug- gestions for other men or women will fce welcomed by the committee who
•will endeavor to suit the majority.
The committee intends to try to jet some nationally known program such as Lawrence Tibbet's to be the feature of the Forum.
Selected for the committee for next year were:
John Young—•Chairman
Theta Theta Chi—Ellen Sherwood Pi Alpha Pi—Helen Ehrhorn Sigma Chi Nu—Lillian Chavis Kappa Psi—Russell Buchholz Delta Sigma Chi—Weston Drake Klan Alpine—-Kenneth Lomas Kappa Nu—Benjamin Racusin Theta Kappa Nu—George Gregory Special Members—David Veit, Lillian

Alfred To Debate Buffalo, Niagara
Forensic Society To Meet Elmira, Mar. 30
Following intercollegiate debates next Monday and Tuesday at Buffalo and Niagara, Alfred Forensic Society speakers will meet Elmira College debaters here on a date tentatively set as March 30.
The Elmira girls, who have a fine record in intercollegiate forensic cir- cles, are expected to have a strong squad of speakers when they come to Alfred. The debate here will be Al- fred's first home meet of the season.
Next Monday afternoon, Weston Drake and LeRoy Hodge will carry Alfred's colors in a debate with Uni- versity of Buffalo before the Buffalo Civics Club. John Young, a resident of Buffalo, will deliver the rebutai speech for Alfred. Lewis Ovenshire, also a Buffalo youth, is Alfred alter- nate.
The same squad will journey to Niagara University to meet the Ni- agarans, Tuesday evening at the University.
In all three Saxon debates the ques- tion for argument is the limitation of Supreme Court powers. The reso- lution reads: "Resolved, that Con- gress by a two-thirds vote in each house shall be permitted to override any decision of the Supreme Court declaring an act of Congress uncon- stitutional." Alfred has the affirma- tive.
Niagara will have a strong record of debates behind it when it faces Alfred. On March 14, the Purple Eagle representatives met University of Florida and on March 20, they will face the College of St. Rose, women's | school at Albany, both debates on i the Supreme Court question.
March 21, the Niagarans will argue the Town-send plan with Syracuse de- baters over Station WFBL, Syracuse.
The Niagara debaters are John Yavonditte, Edward Daley and Fred-;
erick Toole.

300 Watch Amateur Boxing Tournament
Three hundred spectators witness- ed six decision bouts, a draw and a technical knockout as 16 aspiring pugilists battled for the boxing championships of Alfred University in the Blue Key's Bronze Gloves Tournament Wednesday evening at the gymnasium.
The eight winners, new college c h a m p i o n s at their respective weights, will receive miniature gold gloves in recognition of their vic- tories. They are: Austin Schweitzer.
Eugene Keefe, Walter Scott, Eric Hodges, Karl Quelich, Dean Miller, Mirriss Corbman and Michael Far- gione. Guelich. who drew with Ed Ramsey, won the glove award at the toss of a coiii.
Pleased at the spectator support shown its first tourney attempt, the Blue Key this week voiced its inten- tion of continuing the tournaments

Industrial Exhibits Major Part
Of St. Pat Festival Program
Open House in the New York State College of Ceramics is scheduled as the most important serious part of the Ceramic Festival. Exhibits will cover the manufacture of raw materi- als used in the ceramic industries, manufacturing processes in the dif- ferent phases, and finished wares of all sorts. The industrial exhibit be- ing featured is unique in that, it is the first instance of coopei-ation between the industries and the Ceramic Col- lege during the Ceramic Festival.
For two weeks, four Ceramic Art students have been at work on a gigantic mural which measures 60x 6% feet. In it, Richard Thomas, John Albright, David Veit and Harold Riegger have depicted the various ceramic processes. The mural is the first work of its type ever attempted here, and will remain for the Cen- tennial Celebration in June.
Brilliant Stage Effects Created For Festival Comedy
German Newspaper Published Weekly
A German newspaper, "Das Mitlgied," was issued for the first time last week by members of the German Club. Contributions by the students in the German department helped to round out the content of the paper.
The paper will be published every week for the benefit of those students
•who are beginning the study of the language as well as for those who are advanced students.
A German picture will again be shown in the Alfred Cooperative Movies, sometime in April. Any stu- dents who would like to see a parti-' cular film should notify the president of the Verein, Elias Fass.
In the publication of the German papar,, the responsibility has been vested in the editor, Elias Fass, and the assistant editor. Warren Werner.
There will be a meeting, tomorrow night, in the Gothic at 8:00, when plans for the further improvements in programs will be made.
When Joyce Kilmer declared that
"Only God can make a tree," he fail- ed to take into account the Alfred University dramatists for whom the manufacture of a half dozen trees is only one of the many miracles being performed in preparation for "The Pleasure Garden," the comedy which will be presented Friday afternoon as a feature of the St. Pat's Festival.
While stage director John Albright, assisted by Martin Dykeman and Har- old Myers, supervises the ''hanging"
and "painting" of "sky" in the back- ground, an entire woodland scene is being constructed by the dramatics classes under the guidance of Miss Mary K. Rogers.
Two large trees and several small ones have been "constructed" by the dramatists. Not only will they be complete with bark and trunk, but they will be crowned with filmy green folige.
Nor is this all.
Overhead will beam a warm sun which will filter through the leaves and cast patterns of light. Lighting director John Norwood, assisted by Frank /Park, Jr., and art director David Veit, assisted by Irving Weiss, are responsible for the "placing of the sun" and the change in atmosphere during the play from morning to evening.
The creation of a woodland scene for the play brings to the attention of Alfred students some of the prob- lems which confront stage designing, yet which are not generally recog- nized as important parts of play pro- duction.
It would be practically impossible to construct a wooded scene which would be a photographic or realistic place. The audience would never be convinced that a real park with trees existed on the stage.
The problem which the designers face is to create an atmosphere of woods, aided by "tree trunks," "Foli- age" and filtering beams of light. The tree trunks will give a solid, rough- barked appearance.
The "trees" are long cylinders of wood-slats and chicken wire, covered with soaked paper which makes a bark-like surface. This is one of the secrets of the designer.
The tree is then coated with brown paint and is a solid form. But this is not enough. Without lighting, the tree trunks would be monotonous columns of brown paint and paper.
Transformed by specially directed blue spotlights on iron pipes above and at the sides of the stage open- ing, the trees take form. One side is I lighted to give a showed effect of | umber shadow and dim light on brown i bark. '
In the background is a single drop- curtain of canvas painted a uniform, pale blue. This, in itself, would not give an effect of sky or distance. By directing all the specific lights (spot- lights) away from the .back, and by filtering a luminous, daylight blue row of bulbs from overhead, the drop cur- tain changes into a distant sky.
The setting,, designed by Prof. Clara K. Nelson and Prof. Don Schrecken- gost, provides for foliage by draping loose folds of green cloth over the entire ceiling to make a shadowy, wavering mass of thick green, in which no individual leaves can be seen, only the entire effect cf cluster- ed, hanging foliage.
Following the action of the play, as actors move back-and-forth, will be a set of spotlights directly above j the stage opening. These spotlights are known as specific lighting and will give proper illumination on the acting areas, and will subdue the lighting on unoccupied areas, thus keeping the audience's attention from wandering away from the actors.
The most complete staging and lighting plans, calling for dramatic blackouts, shifts in color and em- phasis, will make this setting in which the 22 actors can feel at home and act more effectively.
The industrial phase of the Open House covers nearly every field of ceramics. This year, the Cook's Tour technique will b eabseat from the ex- hibit, and it will be conducted on a museum plan. In this way the visitors can allot their time to the depart- ments which are most interesting to them.
Phillip Bennett is chairman of the Open House Committee, and Warren P. Cortelyou, the faculty advisor.
Under him, Bennett has several stu- dents who will have charge of ex- hibits in different departments of the ceramic field. Herman DeLoiig, will have charge of Glass Exhibits at the open house, and Hurd Saffard will supervise the displays in Binns Hall.
The Industrial Display Room is under the wing pf Robert Oooley, while Robert Ghilds has had charge of the production of clay souvenir. The Spectrography demonstration is being supervised by John Nevius while Major Lampman will initiate the visit- ors into the mysteries of the X-ray.
One of the souvenirs, the green glass ashtray, was designed and made here by the students in the Glass Tech- nology Department. The clay sou- venir, a paper-weight, with a bas- relief of the Ceramics College on its surface was designed by Prof. Donald Schreckengost, the mold being pre- pared by Howard Cowan, son of one one of the country's most prominent ceramic artists.
The Open House is scheduled from 7-11 Thursday evening. Not only does it enable the prospective student to get an idea of the meaning of cer-

Floats To Pass Up Main Street
To Alumni Hall
Many Other Plans Listed For Annual Two-Day
Festival
At last St. Pat has left the wilds of Siberia in his plane and started his trip to Alfred. While basking languorously under the South-African sun, the venerable Irish gentleman, patron-saint of Ceramic Engineers wired his consent to grace the annual Ceramic Festival with his presence.
A few days ago, he left his sunny playground to cool off a bit, and his next stop will occur at a little after ten on Thursday in front of the Cer- amics College. There the be-whisker- ed man who chased the snakes out of the Emerald Isle will meet hi3 voluminous retinue, and lead them in a parade before settling down to watch the two days festivity with his co-ed Queen.
St. Pat is expected to begin his triumphal march at about 10:30, when he will lead his guards, and a group of floats competing for a gold loving cup down past the gym up Main street, and then up to Alumni Hall.
There he will take charge of the as- sembly and with several lusty taps of his sword, induct the Senior Ceramic Engineers and several notables of the ceramics world into the "Honorable and Exolted Order of St. Pat.
He is expected to spring a few sur- prises in the way of entertainment.
The ritual of the induction of the Ceramic Engineers, with the Blarney Stone playing a prominent role will offer plenty of laughs.
The Senior Ceramic Engineers to be knighted include: Theodore En- gelder, Burton Teal, Ludwig Vogel, Draper Smith, Louis Schiffner, Stew- art Schatz, Hurd Safford, Elmer Ros- enberg, Harold Prior, Maurice Potter, Leslie Pither, Edwin Phillips, Eugene Ostrander, John Nevius, Robert Mur- ray, Russell Miller, Major Lampman, Charles Jewart, Curtis Jackson, Ar- maiiid Houze, Lee Hedges, Donald Hayward, Phillip Bennett, John Bea- ley, Robert Childs, Robert Cooley, Morriss Corbmann, Eugene Deegan, Morris Cuitler. Charles Evans, Preston French, Arthur Gibbons and Elliot Haines.
Among t/he industrial giants of the ceramic world who will be knighted with the seniors are S. F. Walton, General Manager of the Exalon Co., at Blasdell; George E. Crawford, gem- eral manager of the Eljer Co., at Fork City, Pa.; Clarence P. Austin, treas- urer of the Binghamton Brick Co. and president of the New York State Cer- amic Association, George R. King, secretary of the Great Lakes Portland Cement Co. at Buffalo, and Emery J.
Lassier, vice-president of the Titanium.
Alloy Co.
Following the assembly which greets the arrival of St. Pat and the Ceramic Festival, Alfred will be of- ficially launched on a two day spree of entertainment and spectacle, be- ginning with the Tea Dance Thursday afternoon, and the Open House at
| the Ceramic College Thursday eve- ning, and ending up with a bang whea.
the ball on Friday night witnesses tke feting of the Queen of the Festival.
Notice To Freshman Women
The Student Senate after due consideration of your petition of March 3, 1936, decided that after the Spring vacation you may re- move your freshman hats. The Senate feels however, that you must wear something in their place to designate your class until Moving-Up Day. For this reason you will be required to wear a bright green hair ribbon, four inches in width, tied in a bow.

Bob Fredette Orchestra Booked For Ball
After many week's consideration by I Elmer Rosenberg and his committee, Bob Fredette and his famous Plhilco Radio orchestra featuring Joan White, star of the A. and P. Gypsies has bee«
chosen to furnish the music for the fourth annual St. Pat's Feastival Ball at the University Gymnasium, Friday evening.
Bob Fredette's band has been on the west coast and will be playing in Cleveland and Syracuse this week- end. In the opinion of many no other band out of Chicago, other than Lom- bardo, Bernie, or King, can compete j in name or style of music with this
band of 12 artists.
He has played on the Philco Radio Hour and is the only orchestra to go on tour for the Philco Radio Spon- sors. His music has been featured over both the NBC and CBS networks.
'The Informer,' Festival Movie, Outstanding
One of the many attractions on the St. Pat Festival program will be a special showing of "The Informer"
which received the best picture award for 1935.
"The Informer," starring Victor Mc-
Laglen, brought out heretofore un-
tapped reservoirs of talent in that
actor. The action of the film, center-
ing around the operations of the Black
and Tans mmediately following the
World War, was familiar ground to
McLaglen for he is not Irish in name
alone. He himself was involved in
the social upheavel which took place
during the period in which the film
is laid. The picture is chiefly a etudy
of the mental reactions of a Black
and Tanner who has turned informer.

Rebuild The Athletic Field ?
A proposed drive conducted by the Fiat Lux, to raise funds to rebiiild the athletic field has Avon favorable comment from many. Since such an undertaking would be a gagantic affair in- volving careful planning, a great deal of time and hard work, we must know the attitude of the student body.
We take it for granted that you think this idea is a good one—in the abstract. Do you care enough about having the athletic field re- built that you would do what you could, give a small amount t6 help out and actively support such a drive?
This question will be referred to various or- ganizations during the next week.
NYA workers might do the work and the Fiat Lux raise money for the necessary equip- ment and materials.
The plan is not unique among American Universities for similar ones have met with sig- nifigant success in several colleges in the past few years. Will you help to make Alfred's drive a success? We need your support!
Campus Court "Musts"
Two weeks ago the Fiat Lux joined fresh- men in the move for reorganization of fro.sh rules and Campus Court. As yet almost nothing has been accomplished although the Student Senate and Court members have agreed to revision.
Campus Court has taken one small step in the direction of reform as advocated by a Student Senate investigating committee—it has agreed nof to use physical punishment for any first offense. This is a good start, but the Court must not stop until it is completely reorganized.
Opinion is strong in the belief that modifica- tion of freshman rules is desirable. Campus Court must work with the Student Senate to effect such changes.
A new system of representation which will be fairer to freshmen and more active in uphold- ing such rules and traditions as may remain must be established. To answer the excuse that nothing can be done until next year, let it be declared that now is the time to prepare for next year while an experienced group is in office.
A fair and impartial trial is not always granted to an offender under the present system.
The culprit must be given a chance to defend himself, to plead his case before the jury.
Abolition of the 50 cent fine seems justified.
Other collegiate tribunals do not exact a fee for dispensing punishment. Campus Court must sub- stitute another penalty for this one. A revision of the present policy must end paddling except in extreme cases.
Another thing, no definite information seems to be available to upperclassmen or to freshmen as to the exact intentions of Campus Court or proposed changes. Since the matter is one which concerns the entire student body, the question must be brought out into the open so that all may know what is going on. We ask not only a New Deal but an Open Deal.

Crisis—John Bull hesitates. London has not as yet taken any definite ac- tion on Germany's violation of the Locarno Treaty. Her hesitation has created a dilemna in European diplo- matic circles. Germany stands firm in her militarization of the Rhineland and France, supported by Belgium and Russia, remains adamant in her de- mand that Hitler withdraw his troops before any German proposals are con- sidered.
The situation is not unlike one of July 1914, when Great Britain waver- ed in her obligations to Prance thus creating a feeling of uncertainty in European relations—History repeats itself?

Settlement — New York City's Bunion Derby completed its second week, as elevator men were still out on strike in 2400 buildings throughout the city, causing- thousands to walk up countless flights of stairs.
Mayor LaGuardia has appointed an arbitration committee of five promi- nent citizens and settlement of the strike appears to be in the effing.
Dissension—The secretaries of Com- merce and Labor were at odds last week because of the prosecution of striking sailors of the Panama- Pacific Steamship Lines of California.
Secretary of Commerce Roper assert- that the sailors, who were striking for higher wages had mutinied, and he instructed the Department of Just- ice to take action. Secretaiy of La- bor, Miss Prance Perkins, insisted that this was an ordinary strike and sfce is seeking to prevent the arrest of the sailors.—Strike or mutiny?

Campus Capers
Initiation
Tested and true are the members of Roanoke College's Goldfish Club. This j recently founded organization re-i quires every man who desires to be- come a member to swaller a live gold- fish. So far, the club boasts of 161 members. Evidently the Roanoke boys haven't read that United States has gone off the gold standard.
Burlesque
There are no bounds to the efforts of the students of today, when it comes to the search for knowledge.
This was aptly illustrated by seven of Berkley College's fraternity men when a performance at a local burles- que palace was disrupted a short time ago. Flashlights wielded by the stu- dents at the crucial moment in the strip dance, when the stripee was all but hidden in a dark blue light—and nothing else—resulted in an uproar and the eviction of the fraternity men from the theater.
The audience howled while the dancer fled into the wings.
Payboys
According to Ohio University's re- search artist, Mr. Ode De Voll, Jr., the average campus date costs the suffer- ing (?) male a total of $1.15. Said Mr. De Voll, extra tooth paste, bril- liantine, soap, etc., used in prepara- tion for the date costs .05. A show • costs 70 cents and of course the in-1 evitable "bite to eat" costs at least 30.
cents more. Two lone pennies must also be figured1 in for wear and tear on shoes and pant's crease. Loss of' sleep and nervous tension, in cold ! cash, are valued at 3 cents. The one j remaining nickle is for peppermint i gum to guard against natures worst crime.
Several girls feel that they havei several dollars in back dues coming!
to them.
Gangsters
Again Ohio University comes to the fore as Hilter Coss, sophomore, proved himself a hero by foiling a hold-up man.
Late Saturday night, braveman Coss was startled when a hard object j was pressed into the small of his back and a child-like voice barked'
"Hands u p ! " He turned and found;
himself facing a boy of about 101 years. Bravely, Coss grabbed the j gun which he thought to be a c a p ' pistol, gave the lad a few words of ad-' vice and sent him on his way. He nearly had a heart attack when he found the gun to be a 32-caliber pis- tol, fully loaded, and safety catch off.
The gun now resides at the police station and Coss remains at the col- lege.
Finance
The following bit was found in •
"Collegiana," a column in the Ni- j agara University "Index".
"It's a funny world. If a man gets ; money, he's a grafter. If he keeps it, j he is a capitalist. If he spends it he's j a playboy. If he doesn't get it. he's a j ne'er-do-well. If he tries to get it, I he is a communist. If he doesn't try !
to get it, he lacks ambition. If he I gets it without working, he's a para-1 site. And if he accumulates it after a j life-time of work, he is a sucker. You i just can't win."—The Hoya.

My Dear Miss Saunders:
I note in the March 10th issue of the Fiat Lux under "Corrections" the following: "A second report from the Registrar's office showed the average index of Pi Alpha Pi to be 1.7, not.
1.5, making this sorority lead the campus".
I do not know which of your re- porters gave yon this correction, but T do know that neither Registrar Tits- worth nor myself gave out this in- formation, because it is not true. The index of Pi Alpha Pi is still 1.50.
When we figure the indices of organ- izations, and give the information to the press, we give the correct data the first time. We have not had oc- casion to correct any of the statistics, given your reporter two weeks ago.
Before a correction is made about data from this office, it would be best for the editor to confer directly with the Registrar or with me.
Very sincerely yours, Ruth K. Titsworth,
Secretary to the Registrar 300 WATCH BOXING TOURNAMENT
(Continued from page one) annually. A trained coach will direct practices preliminary to next year's tourney, according to present plans.
The tournament was the first at Al- fred since another athletic group sponsored the last of its annual series in April, 1933.
Austin Schweitzer, opening the show Wednesday evening, outpointed Bob Murray in one of the closest matches ot the tournament. The two fly- weights gave a good exhibition of pure boxing, with Schweitzer showing just a slight edge over his opponent.
Keefe. Scott, Hodges, and Corbman brought home " victories under the Cletch Club banner. Definitely the superior in condition. Keefe won a clear victory over Charlie Alden in the second bout of the evening. Walt Scott outlasted the wearied Jack Feuerstein in the second and third rounds to take the 138-pound decision.
Penetrating the younger man's de- fense in the first round, Eric Hodges I pounded and cut his way to a clean triumph over Howie Gelser in the fourth match. Cletohman Morriss Corbman battered tall Fran Mc- Andrews to score a technical knock- out victory in two rounds. Opening with a rush, Corbman caught his op ponent off guard and pounded steadi- ly away. Corbman had a 12-pound advantage in weight over his op- ponent.
Karl Guelich and Edward Ramsey, evenly matched in weight and ex- perience, battled away for three rounds to a draw decision. Ramsey scored his points by driving in to Guelich at all time while the taller Guelich shone at consisten left jab- bing. Guelich won the glove award on a coin toss.
Dean Miller brought the battle to Howie Cowan to take the 160-pound decision. Miller swung more and missed more than his opponent, but won the match on superior aggres- siveness. In the last bout of the eve- ning, Mike Fargione slugged with Dick Thomas to take the heavy- weight crown.
Did you know that "The Brick" was a barracks for soldiers during the World War and that all of the senior class men left Alfred to take part in the Civil War?
Ruth Spring has many heros tacked along the walls in her room. These heroes smell of charcoal and are each named as follows, Arnold, Alfred, Marvin, Dave, Little J., Jack, Garson . . . . anyone recognize himself?
Crash! Bang! Bank! Crash!
And the munching diners in the base- ment have shocked central nervous systems from the new tap dancing class held over their heads which con- sists of Evelyn, Alyse, and Florence.
Poor Winnie! She lost her hair.
Greg thought she was doing a favor to snip off the unruly pigtails. Now like the head-hunter souvenirs, they decorate Winnie's wall.
Scottie says that for her choice on the new "Brick Menus" she'll have
"pomme de terre mashed".
Brick parlous have a new name—
Lapland.
"And Henny, we made our beds,"
said the scarecrow outside Eleanor Hargrave's and Ginnie Plummer's room. 'The scarecrow consisted of a head made from an orange balloon with inked features, coat, skirt, mocassin shoes and a dignified mitten resting on a book. The whole was protected by an open umbrella of blue cocked over the orange head in a very dapper angle.
Paris in the Brick! Fashionable young mannequins parade before the second floor mirror in half made new dresses, sihiny stiff spring hats, un- usual coiffures, manicures, and clever new sandals. St. P a t will find many
"smoothies" this year.
Flash! Who's the vain young lady who poses evenings in her room for pictures in costumes ranging from skii suits to evening dress. Step right up you Alfred men who want a
"co-educational picture."
Love on the stairway while up above the third floor railings are lined with gleeful and choking spectators!
Third floor balcony seats of "The Brick" were highly enjoyed Sunday night during ,the touching scenes of those last good-byes as unsuspecting lovers dated on the lower stairs. J.
W. and R. T. sat on the step scanning the secret success of handling certain types of dates according to "Sub-Deb's Chart." One lucky couple sat in a spot impossible to observe. Further down the stairways things grew more interesting. M. K. and J. U. were ex- changing fairwells between bites of graham cracker pie. B. C. and D. B.
looked at their watches . . . . nearly ten o'clock . . . . one last kiss—but look out! Here comes a steam-line glass of water minus the glass!
Who is the clever young lady who combines a three cornered scarf and doilies for a costume? We suggest paper doilies for summer wear.

It has been said of students who are entering college for the first time that they are "bounded on the north by family and friends, on the south by conventions, on the east by clothes, and on the west by prejudices". The purpose of a college education is to break these barriers and find adjust- ments to surroundings and yet not lose the best that has been given stu- dents individually.
The student group in general serves as a target for criticisms, but when there are new worlds offered for old, it is this group that presents itself as buyers, thus making for advance- ment and progress. Many things they do meet with disapproval, which at first seems justified, but soon all fall in line with them and wait for a new influx of modernism.
Each student has his own manners and mannerisms and whether they be good or bad, they are the result of contacts made in life plus a certain amount of individuality. It doesn't matter how varied these are on a college campus if they are spontane- ous and are within the bounds of modernism, whether they be in danc- ing, use of slang, dress, lipstick, or in the use of the personal pronouns.
Four years is ample time in which to improve.
After all, is it not more desirable to strive for the development of inner qualities than for anything else and will they not be reflected in daily life and help to develop many other desirable qualities?
Tihe college is not a factory and therefore can produce nothing. It can only stimulate. A student by sheer force of character must do the rest to obtain purpose and direction in daily life and its activities. The college provides leadership and mem- bership in so many organizations that each student on the campus can be members of many. Through them and other social contacts he can learn self-control, respect for the rights o£
others, worthwhile ideals, and be- come tolerant and altruistic.
| It is constantly being dinned in j the ears of students that certain in- novations plus "Chesterfields" satisfy, but little stress is placed upon the idea that inner resources are most satisfying of all.

Workers Unearth
Valuable Pictures
Alfred has a picture collection! For some time TERA and NYA workers have been laboring to mount and flip the pictures of all kinds that the Uni- versity library has accumulated over a number of years. To these have been added many pictures dor.ated by interested persons.
Even the gay forties are brought back through euthentic God?y prints.
Many valuable fashion magazines of years ago provide material for the alone historic costumes are featured history of costume developement. Not but also national costumes of many countries at various periods. Historic scenes provide another source of in- formation in this line.
Copies of paintings of famous masters and modern artists are an- other phase of the collection. These are being classified according to both artist and subject.
Nor has the theatre been over-look- ed. Theatre Arts Prints of Shakes- pearean plays and players have been attained to supplement the prints of modern stage productions. Dance groups are also featured.
Written examinations in French, Spanish and German will be conduct- ed Friday afternoon in Kenyon Hall from 1:15 to 4:00 o'clock by the language department. State examina- tions for oral and written credit must be passed before a student may teach any modern language in Now York state.
Toy animals, ranging from life-size calico dogs to tiny elephants, have re- placed the lanky dolls which formerly decorated the rooms of co-eds at Al-1 fred. Stuffed frogs, cats and rabbits perch upon beds and nestle in chairs where they cause the unsuspecting visitor to rise with a pained expres- sion.
One resident of the Brick owns a large white fur fox terrior which she places carefully on the bed when she retires. Another young lady, in the Infirmary with a toothache, sent for her white bear to keep her company.
Sitting in the window and surveying the world with a fatherly expression is another bear, cinnamon colored, which has been one girl's companion for the past nineteen years.
Unusual names predominate. "The- odoric Von Bern" is the name of a white dog which guards the books on one girl's desk. "Gilbert Educational Psychology Bear" is t h e cognomon which a defenseless Bruin shares with a well-known professor. A tattered plaid dog is called "Waffles" while
"Horace Cuthbert" is the name of an elephant.
Honor Student Criticizes, Suggests Gradual Changes In Senate, Faculty
Dick McClure, '37, Writes Frank Tag Letter
(Continued from last week) II
The Student Senate
In most universities and colleges the most powerful student organiza- tion is the student senate. The ideal student senate has faculty advisors who have not the privilege to vote and whose sole purpose in being pres- ent is merely to interpret administra- tive viewpoints. The ideal representa- tive is a representative, merely the | composite voice of those he repre- sents. Proportional representation is, of course, essential.
Alfred's Student Senate, in the light o£ the above, is a farce. It is neither a Student senate nor is it representa- tive. Its policies are entirely con- trolled by administrative forces. Its members, so conscious of the advance- ment of themselves and the factions they represent, divide forces, become deadlocked, and finally solve prob- lems by trading election favors .
As to representation, the Student Senate is composed of one man each from five fraternities, one woman each from three sororities, and two outsfders—one man and one woman.
The outsiders, as it happens, total very nearly to one-half the entire college enrollment. Such a condition is ob- viously unfair, giving the general control of student affairs to a biased minority.
"Alternative"
I suggest the formation of a Student Senate with a fair repre- sentation of outsiders, and the elimination of faculty control ex- cept in a purely advisory or in- terpretative capacity. The former move, with its increase of mem- bership by six, would be quite effective in doing away with detrimental interfraternity poli- cies, resulting in the probable choice of the best man—a novel event. The latter move places more responsibility on senate members, resulting in sober judgments and decisions fair to all. It also confers upon the me- bers the priceless privilege of independence of thought and free- dom of expression.
I l l The Faculty
Incoming students wonder why Al- fred has an Eta Mu Alpha, instead of Phi Beta Kappa. Few actually do know all the reasons why, the answer being kept comparatively secret by a j natural reluctance. The fact is, ap-1 parently, that representatives of Phi Beta Kappa actually have reviewed Alfred, and more than once. Each time they have refused to establish a chapter on several grounds. First, that library facilities are inadequate.
Second, that too many members of Eta Mu Alpha are not liberal stu- dents (ceramic students are eligible
for the national Sigma Xi). These two reasons will not be treated here.
The third reason is striking—that too many Alfred professors are them- selves graduates of Alfred. Some interesting statistics follow:
Faculty members who are Alfred grads: 20 out of 58.
Faculty members who are Seventh Day Baptists: 20 out of 28.
Faculty members who are both: 12 out of 58.
More than one out of three mem- bers are Alfred graduates, and more than one out of every three are Seventh Day Baptists. These figures have not taken into account the trustees, who, I believe, would boost the figures still higher.
Finally, that Alfred has not the cul- tural background required. "Culture"
is not an easy word to define, yet we all know what it is and when it is present. It certainly is not present at Alfred to any marked degree. And it is not pleasant to realize that we are attending a cultureless college, a college lacking in personnel, or equipment, or methods to inculcate that intangible but valuable quality.
"Alternative"
The administration should dis- continue its practice of lifting its professors from its classes, should make an earnest effort to import the best entirely from the outside, and should cease to stress the conformity of religion of incom- ing professors.. This is, of course, an infinitely delicate subject both to discuss and to solve. By no means do I intend, by these sug- gestions, to imply that an Alfred- graduated professor is not capable of his position, however gained.
Nor do I even think of any par- ticular case. I do not suggest any radical changing or shifting from the present set-up. The process rrfust be gradual and gentle, of it- self, but it must be away from the present process of inbreeding.
I further suggest sabbatical leave for professors.
It is obvious that an outsider professor brings with him new ideas, new methods, a fresh view- point. A mutual contact between two different persons is always advantageous to both. Thus it is logical that an incoming out- sider brings with him a fresh vitality and experience, by which both students and administration will gain. This gain may or may not be a move in the direction of culture, but chances are it will.
Thus it becomes clear, as evident- representative and Phi Beta Kap- pa have seen it, that both prob- lems are alleviated by the same method.

"The Informer," starring Victor Me- Laglen and rated by most critics as the outstanding picture of 1 !>35, will be shown at Alumni Hall, Thursday, in connection with the St. Pat's Fes- tival. Season tickets for the college motion pictures will not be honored at this performance.
"In Ola Kentucky" which will be shown Friday and Saturday nights, is adapted from the play whose humor, sunny romance and tingling drama have made it a favorite of three gene- rations of Americans. "In Old Ken- tucky" stars Will Rogers in a role that presents his rich character in its most lovable light. The picture re- serves its greatest thrill for the cli- max in which racing thoroughbreds pound down the stretch carrying ro- mance and drama in their saddles.

MINNICK, EDLESON, LOYTTY TO LEAVE VARSITY;
FIAT REVIEWS SENIOR WRESTLERS NEXT WEEK
£/?/c LoyTTy -
A powerful threat in the center position and an ardent supporter of campus activity, Jack Edleson will top off a stellar collegiate career when he is graduated this June.
Edleson stepped quickly into a first string center berth with the Saxon lioopmen in his sophomore year and continued as varsity pivot man for three years. In his junior year he led individual scoring with 141 points.
This year he was picked All^Southern Tier and All-Western Conference cen- ter of New York State by sports
•writers of this district.
A star at track as well as basket- tall. Jack holds the college discus record of 126 feet, 5 inches, and the Middle Atlantics record. He is ex- pected to continue his record cracking activity this spring.
Jack is vice president of Kappa Nu fraternity, president of the Varsity A Club, president of Phi Fsi Omega honorary, and campus administrator.
"When graduated from the classical course of the liberal arts college in June, Edleson expects to teach his- tory.
Dan Minnick
Daniel Minnick, co-captain and guard of the varsity Saxon baskete&rs, will leave this Alfred campus in June to seek a career as physical education director and athletic coach. For four years an athletic luminary here, Dan will be graduated from the college of liberal arts this June. He is a physics major and a chemistry minor.
The first pages of Dan's sport his- tory were filled at Salamanca High School, where he became that school's first five-letter man. While in high school Dan ran cross-country and track, played football, basketball and baseball. He held the Cattaraugus County mile run record back in 1930.
Entering Alfred, Dan made his mark at freshman cross- country, basketball and track. The next three years Dan went on to earn varsity letters in three major sports and receive the singular distinction of being one of Alfred's few three-letter men.
He ran cross country for two years and was captain-elect of the 1935 squad. He played guard on the var- sity court squad for three years and was co-captain this season. He broad- jumps and runs the mile, 880 and re- lay in track. Danny ran on the re- lay four which captured the Middle

Ric is a graduate of Corning North ; Side High School, where he played j two years of varsity basketball. Upon graduation from high school, Ric worked in the laboratory of the Com- ing Glass Works for three years and ! played basketball for the topnotch i Glass Works team.
Loytty, however, wanted to go
(deeper in his study of glass. He
1entered Alfred University and enroll- j ed in the glass technology course of I the New York State College of Cer-1 amics. Upon his graduation Ric hopes to get a position in the glass field.
As a frosh, Loytty gained a berth on the greenies' basketball team and
