Blood Bank To Strive For 135 Pint Quota Here
Confidence that Alfred will achieve its 135 pint goal tomorrow in the Spring Blood Bank drive was ex- pressed today by Wesley A. Parish, drive chairman.
"As of Sunday night 65 appoint- ments were already scheduled," Mr.
Parish said. The blood will be taken between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the Parish house, he said.
Mr. Parish stressed that an appoint- ment is not necessary.
A thermometer will be erected in front of the library to show the num- ber of appointments and the amount of blood contributed.
"Alfred is the last stop on the Blood- mobile's spring itinerary, and if we do not make our quota, additional
•drives will have to be made," the chairman reported.
University Officials Silence Rumors Of Increase In Tuition
Rumors of a proposed tuition raise in the University for next year were squelched this week by both Acting President M. Ellis Drake and Treas- urer E. K. Lebohner.
Asked if there would be a raise in tuition next year, Dr. Drake said,
"There has been no consideration by
•University officers of an increase in tuition and fees for the college of Lib- eral Arts during the next college year."
"Such an increase," he added, "could
•only be authorized by the Board of Trustees and an increase would be authorized only in the case of absolute necessity. It is not the present inten- tion of the administrative office of Alfred University to recommend an in- crease to the Board of Trustees."
Lebohner amplified the President's statement pointing out that an in- crease would have to be authorized at the meeting of the Board of Trustees on June 13-14. "It is not the intention of the President or Treasurer to re- quest an increase."
Senior Appointed To Air Force Research Staff Says Director
Eugene W. Holman '49 has been appointed a research associate with the Air Force Project at Alfred, an- nounced James R. Tinklepaugh, pro- ject director, this week.

Ag-Tech Grads May Get More Tickets If Needed
Th\>se students who require more than two tickets for the Ag- Tech graduation ceremony should see the ticket committee about ob- taining extra tickets, Dean T. A.
Parish announced this week.
Alumni Hall seats only about 700 people, Dean Parish continued, therefore it has been necessary to set a general limit of two tickets per graduate. As some of the Jan- uary graduates will probably not return for the ceremonies, there should be a number of surplus tickets available to those who
• really need them.
Senate Selling Football Clock Stubs In Union
A representative of the Senate Clock Committee will be in the Campus Un- ion from 1 to 3 every afternoon the remainder of the week soliciting do- nation tickets for the football score board clock from anybody who has not yet been contacted, announced David Pixley '52, publicity director of the Committee.
"The main purpose of selling tick- ets in the Union is to contact the com- muters," added Pixley.
"The Senate has purchased 500 books of tickets. A person may pur- chase a book of 12 tickets for $ 1, three tickets for $.25, or a single ticket for
$.10."
When asked how the sales were going Pixley said, "The first returns were very heartening, but things have slowed down considerably, and it is hoped that the commuters will bring us over the top of our $400' goal."
First prize will be a General Elec- tric Alarm Clock Radio. Second and third prizes will be a fluorescent desk lamp and a free season ticket to the Campus Theater for next term. If the third prize winner is a senior, another prize of equal value will be awarded.

Villagers Request Ordinance Hearing
Week-long discussion of the Village Board's order to enforce the ordinance requiring all dogs to be muzzled re- sulted Sunday in a petition with nearly 100 signatures of many Alfred dog lovers.
The Trustees last Monday evening instructed Police Chief A. Harry Boser to enforce the ordinance which states
"any unmuzzled dog may be killed."
Immediate opposition arose on the discussion level, however, and Sunday Mayor William B. Harrison said that the- ordinance would not be enforced temporarily and added:
"Stray dogs without licenses found molesting children will be subject to impounding and if not claimed will be shot."
Mayor Harrison noted that the or- dinance, Article II, is one of the old- est and added: "A public hearing was held recently on the ordinances and nobody appeared." He added another hearing would be held if the petition- ers continue to press the matter.

In his lecture on "Urbanization," Dr.
Warren pointed out five characteris- tics of urban life. Specialization, he said, has made city dwellers depend upon other people's work. The ano- nymity of city life, he said, means that gossip—one of the chief controls of conduct—is missing.
Urban people have greater social mobility. They move around more from one place to another, from one job to another, and in wealth and prestige. Contacts are more casual in the city, Dr. Warren said, and people live in a more artificial environ ment because they do more to the j landscape than rural persons.
Dr. Warren also noted several so-
! cial differences between urban and rural life, including a higher divorce j rate, higher crime rate, and lower
1 birth rate in the cities. It is gener- i ally true, he said, that people are just

Olean Editor Speaks At Fiat Staff Dinner
"Newspapermen help people to create and maintain a better sanse of values," John Armstrong, associate editor of the Olean Times-Herald told more than 50 staff members and guests Wednesday evening at the annual Fiat Lux banquet.
"This is a service to the people of the community," he said. "Newspaper- men are not as hard-boiled as they are reputed to be. Look at the story of Kathy Fiscus, the little girl who was lost in the well. For days, ten- derness and sentiment of every news- paperman from coast to coast was brought out."
Mr. Armstrong said a second gain for college journalists is "learning the art of brevity better than in any class- room."
Mr. Armstrong illustrated the lure of a career in newspaper work with a brief summary of his own career. "I landed on the dock at New York City from South America with a bowler hat antl $18 when I was 18 years old. I wanted to be an American journalist, and I started out as probably the greenest cub reporter who ever worked on a New York daily.
"Since then, I've earned degrees at three colleges and become a faculty- member at a college. But despite all my experience as social worker, bank- er and college professor, I still went back to newspaper work."

Just Remember
Thursday is the day when seniors become graduates, girls acquire additional hours and the whole campus celebrates.
The last year, the day started out with the same intent. By the end of the five-hour progr.am, there were two students who had re- ceived major injuries.
Just one word to everyone: Use your heads and BE CAREFUL!
Amateur Talent Assembly
At last week's assembly programs some of the talent that has been seen by small groups and at sorority and fraternity parties was mobilized for the entertainment of the whole campus. The audience loved it.
Everyone connected with this show—those performing before the footlights and those behind the scenes:—should be commended for their work. Although strictly an amateur show, it kept a willing audience for an hour and a half.
This type of program brings up several possibilities. Now that we have seen what the students can do, how about the faculty mak- ing a try( at i t ! Several members are known for their humor and there must be a barbershop quartet in the group.
There is another point, too: All year long there has been an agitation against the reluctance of students to cooperate in matters of campus-wide interest. Perhaps something like this, a common interest in fun and enjoyment would be a good place to start.
20th Century Trends
Civilization students this week go into the final period of study which has included a consideration of how the Graeco-Roman, the Age of Revolution or the Enlightenment has influenced history, politics, economics, art, science and music.
In this final period, 20th Century Trends, the year's study will be correlated to enable the student better to understand tRe world in which he lives as well as to see that world through the interrelationships of all phases of life.
In the midst of a complex and rapidly changing society, having a perspective through which to distinguish reason from emotion and truth from error is essential to a well-educated man. That Alfred, and the Civilization panel headed by Dr. Ellsworth Barnard, is attempting to give this perspective, is worthy of everyone's attention.

The Fiat "filler" department this week is holding an election to discover a new John Barnes. In order to give the student body a preview of the election, we asked the question: "Who wuold you suggest as substitute for John Barnes and way?" Also, as a special attraction we have a statement from
attraction, we have a statement from Justin "pearshape" Pierce, withdraw- ing his recognition of the sophomore class.
Hank Greenberg '51—My nomination would be Socrates Magillicudy, for with such a name as that, he would be bound to have lots of appeal to the students.
Nancy Balint '52—My choice for a new John Barnes would be Al Baxter.
He has all the necessary qualifica- tions needed for a person of this po- sition, personality, athletic ability, a marvelous voice, a rythmical name, and besides all this he is "King of the Campus."
Ernie Scheunzel "57— **<? thought the name Roby Lyons woula -e a keen name for a new filler, but dia; t know why.

Student Produced Amatuer Assembly Program Well Received By Audiences
By Matthew Melko
The students of Alfred put on their own assembly Thursday and on the whole they did much better than most of the paid professionals that have entertained this year. Nine acts were featured in a show that ran from 11 a.m. until nearly lunch time. The show was handled by Andy Ippolito '52, who directed and acted as master of ceremonies.

Infant Heat Wave Breaks Local 35 Year Record
The "infant heat wave" which set- tled over Alfred during the past week came near breaking a 35-year record, according to Dr. Paul C. Saunders, cooperative weatherman, who reported a temperature of 86 degrees here Thursday.
The May record of 87 degrees is held by four dates, May 20 and 21, 1934 and May 27 and 31, 1939. "It was certain ly the warmest first of May in many years," said Dr. Saunders. "Notice that the record dates are all much later in the month."
The heat wave, which had many Alfred students cutting classes and drinking cokes instead of coffee, began last Sunday with a tepid 78 and worked up to a sweltering 85 on Wednesday.
Moving Up Program
(Continued from page one) replant the Saxon Heights grounds.
Other departments will take care of the Ag-Tech buildings and grounds.
The University iclean-up (program will be handled by residence houses, Lawrence Selewach '50, announced.
Bartlett, with Dean Edward L. Haw- thorne, will be in charge of leveling off the third tennis court. Bartlett boys will also man two trucks which will be driven around the campus to pick up refuse. The various fraterni- ties and sororities will be responsible for improving the appearance of their own houses.
Because of the nature of the projects planned, it was recommended that the fraternities do not ask members of Bartlett to participate in their pro- grams, although it would be permis- sible for Brick girls to help their sororities.

Epic Theatre Of ^Caucasian Chalk Circle' Is Brecht's Idea Of People's Theatre
By William Bayuk and Howard Clark
Db you like drama which stirs and thrills you? Do you like tender, warm-hearted romance? If the answer to these questions is
"yes," then see "The Caucasian Chalk Circle," by Bertolt Brecht, to be presented on May 19 and 24 by the Pootlight Club. It will be an enjoyable experience.
"The Caucasian Chalk Circle" is an epic production with over fifty people in the cast, each contributing an im- portant part. The play covers the entire range of human values and emotions.
In the Dramatic Theatre the stage embodies a sequence of events, com- municates experiences, and psycho- logically identifies the spectators in the action.
In the Epic Theatre, however, the stage narrates the sequence, makes the spectator a social critic, communi- cates pieces of knowledge which de- mand decisions from the spectator, and makes Man an object of investi- gation. In this epic production Brecht creates a tender and delicate love storV, portrayed with dignity and simplicity.
There is sardonic humor in the scene between Grusha and her peasant hus-
band, which takes place while the hus- band is taking a bath. A high comic
peasant
punished wench, Is re- for what she voluptuouos
vealed and really is.
There is a portrayal of courage and sacrifice as Grusha, the foster mother, dares all and tries all for the baby she loves. No sacrifice is too great for her to make.
The latter part of the play involves Brecht's conception of justice. The judge, Azdak, must decide whether the baby, Michael, is to remain with Grusha, or is to be returned to its real mother, the governor's wife. Azdak's decision strikingly reveals Brecht's ideals concerning justice.
The actors, striking in their color- ful costumes, play their roles within a novel stage setting and the rapidly shifting action produces a stirring pageant of life.

"Jazz You Like It," presented "Body and Soul" and "Perdido" among other things. Drummer Ding Bowden '50 got the biggest reception but Jake Saraguso AT, playing the bass, seemed to be having the most fun.
Other music included Judy Leandar on the accordion which was probably good, but with accordions you can fool me. The closing act, which featured a South American .trio of Luis Da- joie, Freddy Ramos and Eddie Paz- zoli, held the students in their seats even though lunch time was at hand.
For the most part the trio worked it- self into a terrific sweat with a pe- culiar conglomeration of wiggles, yells and whistles. Dajoie waved a pair of marracas while Pazzoli, lacking drum would have expected down at Mory's. | s ticks, beat disconsolately with his.

by jerrysmith We got a wonderful idea Saturday a t the presidents' conference at the Rod.
and Gun club. Next year, we are going to sponsor a weekly meeting to entertain gripes and complaints. It won't be called anything fancy; maybe a simple little name like Society for the Veneration of Verdant Freshmen, and Not-So-Verdant Upperclassmen.
We will meet regularly, probaWy every Thursday at 11 o'clock and prob- ably we will meet in the Union close;
to the coffee urn.
You may not realize it, but we have taken over some of the duties of tha Chaplain's office here in that we probably receive more gripes than he about the injustice of the adminis- tration, or the faculty or the athletic department or the chief of police or the prof who gives quizes on Moving Up Day.
So we're going to hold office hours.
We're not joking about this, mind you. There are a lot of gripes origin- ating every day. We know. About half (maybe a quarter) of them come to us usually introduced with some such phrase as "You ought to write a column about. . ."
We're not complaining about that either. Some of them furnish us with column-fodder. And some are good for a laugh.
Anyway we are going to have a for- um of interested students (forum is a good word, maybe we ought to call it jerrysmithforum) meet weekly and we will settle gripes—either with ac- curate information or sympathy—and then in what time is left discuss cur- rent problems. We will counsel freshmen, subdue sophomores, placate juniors and encourage seniors. No problem will be too minor for your consideration and, of course, none too big. We'll give advice to all teachers, and administrative officials, through the column, of course.
On some gripes, we'll ask important people to attend the meeting, people like President Drake, or Ed Lebohner or anybody who knows the answer.
Don't think we can't conduct a proper discussion, either. We've taken speech a whole year just in prepara- tion. We shall become a campus sounding board. If the administra- tion has a problem, it can present the difficulty to us and we will settle it or at least suggest possible courses of action. We already know some facul- ty and students who would like to join in this group.

One gripe we heard this week con- cerned tickets to University commence- ment. The story was that only two per senior would be allowed.
"I've got eight relatives who all want to see me graduate," the poor fellow said with tears in his eyes.
Can't you do anything about it?"
We did. We found out that the com- mittee to arrange commencement plans had not yet met. No plans have been made.
* * •
President Danny Foster had a gripe too. Or maybe it was just a tale of woe..
"For years and years, the commutors have complained because they didn't have representation on the Student Senate," he said. "So we changed the constitution, made elaborate plans for a meeting and only six or seven com- mutors showed up."
* * •
Then there was a guy who grandly told us that he had heard that tuition was going to be raised to $650 next year. So we asked the Treasurer if he had any schemes along that line.
None whatsoever, he said. Now don't get us wrong. We like gripes. Look at all the column we're filling up!
* • *
We have a couple random sugges- tions to various people. Most of them came out at the SAC president's con- ference, Saturday. There was a short discussion on possible ways to stimu- late class spirit. Several ideas were suggested and we will entertain others from anyone who happens to read this far in the column. We'd like to sug- gest, too, that the Campus Union sponsor "class night programs," with each class taking over the responsibil- ity of providing entertainment for a Saturday night party.
The other suggestion has to do with the new assembly system which will have the compulsory assembly only once a month and keep the other Thursdays free for meetings, or var- ious programs such as those from the music department, talent shows and so forth. We are heartily in favor of the idea and to help it along, we would like to suggest that the tag "assembly"
be dropped from our vocabulary when referring to the non-compulsory pro- grams. Any idea we have had so far is sort of juvenile—like Student's Hour—but certainly the connotation of the word "assembly" would not encourage attendance to a non-compul- sory program.

The hog wrestling contest will fea- ture greased pigs against greased men.
Women will have the problem of put- ting pigs through a barrel! without touching them. The tug-o-war will take place between Theta Gamma and Kappa Delta.
Another innovation will be a battle between the senior and freshman Ag- Tech men. The seniors will dfeend a baloon tied to the top of a greased pole.
Around the pole will be a man made mud puddle. Most of these activities will take place at Terra Cotta field between 1 and 3 p.m.

Many Problems Discussed At SAC Confab
Nearly 30 top campus officers and administrative officials considered freshman orientation, religious em- phasis, social coordination and the WSG Saturday at the third annual were discussed.
Over 5,000 clock donation tickets are now being sold on the campus, many of which were passed out to Senators at last week's meeting. Litch- ard Dickinson '50, Senate vice-presi- dent, who is in charge of the drive, asked the members to try to se,ll the dollar books. "If we can't sell a good number of those, we won't be able to make our quota," Dickinson pointed out. Referring to the third prize, Dickinson announced that any senior who should happen to win a free sea- eon ticket to next year's Campus Thea- ter would be awarded a compensatory prize of equal value. The drive, which has one more week to run, is expected to net $400.
After considerable discussion, the i Senate decided to refer to the resi- j dences the following amendment pro- j posed by George Harris '50 of Beta
Sig: "Any student who is a member rhe"courBe~to' foTlow~"was"&reacheT on of a aocia fraternity or sorority at m 0 8 t s u b j e cts, however,

The administration is planning to top the third tennis court this summer according to David Pixley '52 of Bart- lett, who had discussed the subject with Treasurer E. K. Lebohner. Pixley, who is chairman of the tennis court committee, quoted Lebohner as saying that the University plans to build more courts when a satisfactory place for them can be found. One possible site for them would be the property on the north side of Bartlett
Plans for Moving Up Day were pre- sented by Lawrence Selewach '50 of Klan Alpine, who heads the clean up program committee. (See story, page 1.) Appointed to work on the Moving- Up Day program were Thomas Myers '51, president of the sophomore class, and Josephine Perry '52 of th,e Brick, who will help President Daniel Foster plan the Moving Up Assembly. James Karl AT, Harold Cole AT and Robert Kinsman AT were appointed to take charge of the Block Dance.
Jeanette Klimajeski '50, president of Pi Delta Epsilon, presented the pro- posed 1949-50 Frosh. handbook for Senate approval. In presenting the book she said that she was aware of the fact that several of the larger or- ganizations, including the Senate, WSG, the Men's Athletic Governing Board and Ag-Tech Student Council, wished their constitutions in the book.
It was suggested that these organiza- tions finance the addition of these constitutions. She. said that the total cost of the book last year was $393.95.
In itemizing this budget, she pointed out that there was very little that could be cut, except the number of copies printed. The Senate approved a plan to print 175 copies over the number of freshmen who will enter next year.
During this week the Frosh Court of Blue Key and WSG discussed the possibility of a Co-ed Frosh Court ac- cording to Matthew Melko of Delta Sig.
Melko promised a final report from the frosh rules committee this eve- ning.
Audrey Riess of Sigma Chi volun- teered to correspond with the Senate's foster child, Chen Fu-Kuo, a 13 year old Chinese Boy. He is supported by money donated to the Foster Parent section of the Community Chest. Fu- Kuo, a five foot, 90 pound student in the fifth grade, wrote a letter which Daniel Foster read to the Senate.
The Senate gave Daniel Kane '49 a vote of confidence when he asked if they would help support the Stu- dent leadership conference, sponsored by SAC, held last week-end. Kane estimated that the conference would cost the Senate approximately $30.
election of frosh officers between Thanksgiving and Christmas and, gen- erally speaking, better organization of frosh political and social activities will be carried out.
More organization and orientation of freshman advisors will be made next year to encourage better indoc- trination of the freshmen and to en- courage greater school spirit along constructive lines.
Discussion on the social program dealt with many phases of campus life and reached no definite recommenda- tions although it was emphasized that the program should be further co- ordinated through the calendar. • The point was made by Dean Elizabeth Geen at the end of the day's program that the social program should be inte- grated to the point that social educa- tion is given to the students as well as academic education.
New plans and policies of the Wo- men's Student Government were ex- plained by Emily Nicholl '49, retiring WSG president, and the suggestion was made that the regulations govern- ing campus women be explained to men during orientation week and their responsibility emphasized.

Vets May Be Losing Subsistence Money Says Dean Of Men
Veterans who do not have enough subsistance under the G. I. Bill may be unwittingly wasting some of this subsistance on books and automatic leaves according to a memorandum re- leased from the office of Dean Edward L. Hawthorne.
"Every $2.10 that you use for books or supplies actually costs you a mini- mum of $4.20," Dean Hawthorne warns in his memorandum addressed to col- lege veterans. "The automatic leave,"
he adds, "which you get for 15 days following June 10 also cuts into the length of your expected entitlement."
The memorandum explains that a man with less than half the number of days on a full semester's time could complete the semester if he merely saved the leaves and paid for his books in cash. Every $2.10 used for books knocks a calendar day of tui- tion and subsistance, worth about
$4.20, right out of the total entitle- ment, the memorandum explains.
But veterans who are short on total entitlement lose even more on the 15 day automatic leaves that follow the end of the second semester of each year." These "automatic" leaves are not gifts, but they are taken out of the entitlement. They can be can- celled and used to pay for tuition. In order to cancel these leaves veterans should write to the Veterans Adminis- tration at 1021 Main Street, Buffalo 3, New York. Veterans who are not certain about their situation pertain- ing to leaves and books or supplies should consult Dean Hawthorne as soon as possible.

Student Nurse Sunday To Be Observed Here
American Student Nurse Sunday will be observed here May 15 when Alfred plays host \o high school prin- cipals, counselors, school nurses and students interested in nursing as a career.
Plans for the afternoon include a tour of the campus and a tea for pros- pective students where films on nurs- ing and slides of the campus and stu- dent activities will be shown. Eliza- beth K. Foote, director of nursing, said the invitation included schools in Allegany, Steuben and Cattaraugus counties.
Freshman and senior nursing stu-j
Six pledges were initiated into Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, at ceremonies held in Social Hall, Sun- day.
The group included Donald Boulton '52, Roy Bradley '51, George Harvey AT, Richard Lang AT. Dwight Rey- nolds AT, and Clarence Rycroft AT.
The eight-man initiating team con- sisted of Dean Edward Hawthorne, Dean John McMahon, Frank Bredell '52, Clifford Lamoreaux AT, James Moyer AT, Nicholas Muzyka AT, Leslie Shershoff '49 and Donald Summer- hayes AT.
Prior to the initiation the recently elected officers were officially in- stalled.
President Summerhayes announced that there will be a meeting of the dents who are on the campus will act | fraternity at 7:30 p.m. tonight in the as hostesses, assisted by some sopho-
more and junior students who are on training duty in community hospitals.
Miss Martha Iver, superintendent of the Corning Hospital, will also be present.
Reviewing the role of schools of nursing in providing adequate nurs- ing care, Miss Foote said that schools throughout the country have recently received commendations for their ser- vice from the Surgeon Generals of the Army, Navy, Public Health Service and Veterans Administration.
"Federal, medical, and health ser- vices," the commendation read, "not only look to the schools to produce the nursing personnel needed to pro- vide adequate nursing care, but we also look to the schools to produce the kind of nurse who can and will eagerly accept new responsibilities in planning, administration, and provi- sion of the best type of nursing care in the ever-growing fields of medical and health service."
