Rushing To Include Freshmen Nurses Says Intersorority
Freshmen student nurses will parti- cipate in next month's rushing pro- gram, according to a resolution passed by the Intersorority Council this week.
The decision was made after a vote of the four houses on a petition sub- mitted recently by 18 of the freshman nurses.
Previously, the Council ruled that nurses were to be elected to sororities upon return to the c a m p u s during their senior year. According to Nancy Kelly '50, president of the Council, the reasons for the change were those pre- sented by the .nurses. They included the fact that the girls would live a full year in their respctive houses dur- ing their final year at Alfred and also that their campus relations while in training would be closer.

Omicron Occupies New Home During Christmas Vacation
Members of Alpha Kappa Omicron have settled in their new residence at 26 South Main Street. The house, formerly occupied by President Boothe Oolwell Davis1 and Mr. and Mrs. Char- les Amberg, is now being occupied1 by the fifteen girls who moved during vacation from the University-owned building on Sayles1 Street.
On December 14, the fifth birthday of the sorority, Lucille Losch '50, presi- dent of Omicron, received approval of the p u r c h a s e from the University Board of Trustees. The mortgage is being taken in with the University and the local Loan office.
The new Omicron house contains 15 rooms, including 3' living rooms, a dining room, and a sleeping porch.
"The h o u s e has several large fire- places on both the first and second floors'," said Miss Losch. "We found many items left by President Davis:
a tall, battered silk tophat, pictures and many University articles like a sooreboard and college emblems of his day."
The former Omicron house has been converted into a two apartment house.
The residence, which «was> once known as the "Campus House," will be occu- pied by faculty families.
Conservation Group Sees Demonstration On One-Arm Bandit
A "one—armed" bandit designed es- pecially to "rake in" the farming trade was introduced by Hug Wilson, New York extension conservationist from Ithaca, at a recent meeting of the Al- fred Conservation Club.
Frank Costello,, New York syndicate operator, has shown a decided lack of interest in this machine since it con- tains' no coin box. This "one armed bandit" a b s o r b s amd dispenses1 in- formation only. However, the informa- tion obtained from its "mechanical brain" may prove of great value to conservationists and farmers alike.
The machine Mr. Wilson demonstra- ted which incidentally is the first of its kind, "digests" the following con- ditions of the farm being tested after cards containing information about the percent and length of slope, inter- nal drainage, texture of soil, amount of past corrosion and humis content of the soil have been< inserted. The highest capability for the land' being used is indicated by color.
Next, the present conservation prac- tices used on the farm being tested are tabulated in the machine. If pres- ent procedures are efficient, a green light indicates this' fact. Inefficient practices are noted by a flashing red signal. Thus the correct practices for any farm may be determined.
The model demonstrated was quite large, but it is anticipated that pocket models will be available to the public in a few months.

How thft sea affects the lives of one family Is the theme of the play. A sound effect called "keening" is used to bring iu an ethereal impression.
"Too Many Thumbs," written by R.
Hivnor, Is a comedy in which two chimpanzees are bing studied in a lab- oratory. For simeans they are extreme- ly advanced, are able to speak, and en- joy an almost human intelligence.
The chimps are always waging a bat- tle of wits with the humans, who are rather stingy when feeding time comes around. The uninhibited imagination in this1 play provides a wealth of pun- gent and cleverly sophisticated wit.
"Hello Out There" was written by William Saroyan who is well known lor his realism. This play is a product of the same approach, invollving e- motions which range from spicy hum-

Moral Support
After thorough investigation, with ample opportunity to weigh the pros and cons, the campus through Student Senate, voted to sup- port the NSA. Ninety dollars of the students' money has been ap- propriated as material evidence of this support.
But what about moral support ?
One of the greatest points of contention was, what can the NSA do for Alfred and its students. Now we have one example of benefit from a national organization in the purchase cards. For one dollar a student may receive discounts of from ten to twenty-five percent on articles purchased at stores cooperating with the NSA. Students near such stores could save a great deal of money, certainly enough to warrant buying a purchase card for one dollar.
The benefit is double: the student Senate would «get back the ninety dollars it gave to support NSA and more; The person buying the card saves money. And yet the cards are not selling. Any Senate member will sell them. What is wrong with us? The students voted for NSA. Now let us follow through and suupport it.

There's Still Time: Alpha Phi Gamma, journalistic fraternity, San Francisco State College is sponsoring a flunk insurance. All stud- ents on the c a m p u s are eligible, even the "Brains." The higher a student's scholarship the lower the risk and premium. The average student pays fifty cents for coverage, on a particular course. If he flunks, he gets a dollar instead of a mere dressing down by the dean.

This Week's Award
The Best-Thing-T h a t-Has-Happened-On-This-Campus-In-Some- Time Award goes to the Intersorority Council this week. In answer to a petition by eighteen freshman nurses, the Council and the soro- rities have decided to allow nurses to pledge sororities in theirv fresh- man year.
As the petition argued, the n u r s e s should have pledge rights equal to all other freshman students. They went further to say "if admitted in our freshman year we feel that we would gain much' more from the sorority than we would joining as seniors, for only-three- quarters of a year. We would also have very l i t t l e sorority life in this way."
By joining a sorority, in their freshman year, the nurses would be assured of a place in the sorority house immediately upon their return in their senior year. Also, through their sorority, nurses would have a means of maintaining contact with Alfred during the two years spent on affiliation.
In view of the soundness of these arguments, it is a wonder why this move was not made earlier. Congratulations to the freshman nurses and the Intersorority Council.

Fumigation Helpful To Antique Hobbyist
Professor Voss Tells Of Findings At Work
One way to collect antiques is to be- come a fumigation expert.
Prof. Marion Voss probably wouldn't recommend the method even to the most ardent antique collector, but it's the way he has collected a lot of furni- ture and other items.
'Coming to Alfred in 1946, he held a pre-war job with Eastman Kodak, had some hectic experiences during war-time duty on the Manhattan Pro- ject, and then took a brief post-war fling at fumigating warehouses, restau- rants, mills, fraternal lodges, and homes.
It was in the attics of several homes that he ran across discarded beds, chairs, tables, and other items that made nice additions to his antique collection.
Using hydracyahic acid, the most deadly gas in existence, Prof. Voss, only he wasn't prof, yet, chased moths, roaches, bed bugs and snakes out of c o u n t l e s s establishments in New York's southern tier and northern

Voss finally came to Alfred to investi- gate the possibilities of doing some research. He arrived on registration day and wandered into the library.
The next few hours were probably the strangest of his life. Dr. Nease introduced him to Alfred's hospitality, Dr. Saunders introduced him to Dr.
Rice, Dr. Rice introduced him to coffee at The Collegiate, and Dr. S c h o 1 e s took him on a tour of the campus.
Upshot of the day was that Mr. Voss became an assistant p r o f e s s o r of chemistry in the College of Ceramics, in spite of protests, in turn to Messrs.
Nease, Saunders, Rice, and Scholes, that; he didn't want to teach, never had taught, and was interested mere- ly in doing some part-time research.
, Now, as an answer to his wish, Prof.
Voss directs one of the most promise ing research projects on the campus, the Isotope Research Program.
And what about teaching?

"Too Many Thumbs" To Bring Monkey Business To Stage
By Dr. Stephen C. Clark
A story is told of a certain psychologist who was experimenting with an ape, and having taught him how to work a difficult puzzle, wanted to see if the ape would do it if the experimenter was not a- round. He thought he could find out by leaving the ape in a room by
himself, and then watching through '
the keyhole in the door to see what i World War I. The set contains a large the ape would do. Everything went pen, bananas hanging from the roof, along beautifully, the ape took the puz- large blocks to be fitted together; as zle, the psychologist left the room,
closed the door, and then knelt down to peek through the keyhole. At first he could not see anything, all was dark; but then he realized why—he was looking straight into the eye of the ape, who was jut a curious to knew what the experimenter was

know about heating—except whether people are too hot or too cold.
"If we got more complaints;," he ex- plained, "we would know better how well we're doing down here." Most of the complaints, Jim said, reach him two or three days late and second- hand. "Ask them to call the heating plant—29—F—111—at the time of the complaint," he said.
Jim supervises the w o r k of five other men who must stuff 2700 tons of coal a year into the university's two ISO-horsepower boilers. He ha9 seen the plant go through several im- provements in ten years. Some of them he has engineered himself.
Persons concerned with the water shortage will be pleased to know that a simple device designed by Jim and installed this year is saving 3,00© gal- lons of water daily. Other improve- ments were installation of heat con- trols, new pumps to feed the boilers, addition of a water softener and feed water heater, and rebuilding of the boilers.
A master thermostat controls the flow of heat to all 21 buildings on the system. Charts evolved over a period of several months are a guide to how much heat must be piped to a build- ing in various types of weather.
In spite of coal strikes, Jim said the university has only once seen its mountain of bituminous recede to the danger point— a 20 ton supply. That was in 1941 when the 700 tons usually on hand had dwindled to enough for only seven days. -
Helping Jim to keep the boilers at their maximum of 2900 degrees during the coldest weather are Firemen Ely Stevens, Theodore Thomas and Lyle Palmiter. Two other aides, whose joba include hauling coal, keeping streets plowed, and cindering sidewalks, are Erwin Wasson and Charlie Kraket.
They must keep a daily 24 hour vigil over the plant.
In the meantime. Jim himself often goes 12 hours a day on the job, calls the plant his "hobby."
had better see "Too Many Thumbs,"
one of the three plays being presented this week by the Footlight Club; for in this play there are chimpanzees who talk, fall in love, and1 discuss the human race among themselves. It. is a very clever satire, not just on psy- chology but on religion and people in general. The play, by Robert Hiv- nor, was probably inspired by the
two chimpanzees: P s y c h e and Too Many Thumbs from which the play gets its name. The action moves much faster than one could ever hope for in a real laboratory, and the chimpan- zees^, are extraordinary, to say the least. The ending comes rather sudden- ly and tragically, but it all makes> for good humor and real entertainment.
It is fun to "see ourselves as others see us" and this one act play affords the ribbing that psychologists need from time to time. It is apparent that

So columnists become very desperate at times. We once knew a columnist who on the day a column was due, would take from his desk a handful of old clippings, frayed cuffs, telephone bills, and a small deck of index cards all clipped together carefully.
On the d a y he would g e n e r a t e (Generate, verb transitive, meaning:

"heresy," and "Goethe points way to>

(Now THERE'S a column!) Other notes were "Upper Graustark: A class war battlefiejd," "Ask Nick, do most students pay for their coffee?" (Why not ask him if the f a c u l t y pay for theirs?) "Ceiling is the easel, concert of thoughts, symphonv of memory, molasses cookies. Another idea that is mighty challenging is a one-line song, we guess:

As a suggestion from an experienced columnist, we suggest that the reader save the other eight ideas for filler columns1—and write them right away.

Senate Sends Largest Amounts To Outing Club, Footlight Club
A total of $1065 was appropriated to 20 campus clubs according to a report issued at Tuesday's Senate meeting by Lawrence Selewaeh '50, co-chairman of the Appropriations Committee. The largest appro- priation, $350 went to the A1 f r e d Outing Club, and the Footlight Club, with $150, was the only other club to receive more than $100.
The total of $1065 represented an in- crease of $200 over last year's appro- priations. Last year's figures, however, did not include the appropriation to the NSA.
Other clubs receiving money were:
Alfred Workshop, $50, Alpha Phi Ome- ga, $50, Badmiton Club, $20, Canter- bury Conservation Club, $30, Diesel Club, $30, Electronics Club, $30, Frozen Foods Club, $30, German Club, $30, Horn and Hoof, $40, Hortus Club, $20, Latin Club, $10, NSA, $90, N e w m a n Club, $15, Poultry Club, $20, Rural En- gineers, $40 aod Zeno Club, $15.
No other business was conducted at the last meeting but a t the preceding meeting, Dec. 13 of last year, the Sen- ate considered a recommendation from the administraton that measures be taken to prevent students organzations from marring trees on the campus by hanging signs on them. After a dis- cussion period, a resolution was passed Itt which t h e Senate approved the placing of posters and signs on trees.
The Brick and Dobson House each lost a representative last week for the remainder of the semester when their representatives missed a second meet- ing without sending a substitute. The absent members, Dorothy Saehs '53 and Paul Swanson '53, can appeal to a board of review composed of Senate members.

Theta Gamma Adds Third Straight Win Edging Ellis Manor
Twenty five games went into the record books ence the last Fiat story.
It was the B, C, and D Leagues that saw the most action during this per- iod, while the A and E Leagues played only three games a piece.
In the A League, the most important game was the duel between undefeated Theta Gamma and undefeated Ellis Manor, in which Theta Gamma notch- ed their third straight victory 39—33.
The victors grabbed an early edge but were pressed hard, and the game was in doubt up until the closing minutes.
At the opening of the final period Ellis Manor made a 'determined bid and surged ahead with two quick bas- kets, but Theta Gamma retaliated with two of their own and regained the lead, which they held for the remain- ing minutes. Klan defeated Psi Delta 28—21 to make their record two wins and one loss, While in the third contest Lambda Chi beat Beta Sig 47—27 to also establish a two and one record.
Delta Sig, Kappa Psi, and Kappa Nu were idle.
In the B League, the Barlett Waiters moved into undisputed posession of first place by defeating the Gisatled3 on Saturday by a 29—25 count. The Waiters are now the only undefeated team in the league with four victor-

Pinball Deadline Set By Fiat Committee
Feb. 15 will be the deadline for ac- cepting entries to the first annual Al- fred Championship Pinball Contest, it was announced this week by the Fiat's Monadic Committee in charge of coin machine contests. "The opening date of the contest will be Tuesday, Feb.
21, George Washington's Birthday Eve," the Committee said.
Names of early entries and prizes will be announced by the Committee following its meeting late this week.
It is expected that the committee will make use of all the machines in town, although it has been suggested that only flipper machines be used. After the preliminaries have narowed the entry, only one machine will be used.
Students, townspeople, faculty mem- bers, and all those who have a good j reason for being in Alfred will be el-
igble to enter the contest. Prospective entrants may contact one of J;he mem- bers of the Fiat staff or fill out the entry blank which we hope somebody remembered to slip in on the front page.

Six games were play in the C Leah gue, in which the Crescents won twice, over ASRE by 30—25 and over Sam's Barn by 35—20. The Sig Butts defeated the Waffle Shop 29—22; t h e Huck- sters overcame Sam's Barn 42—36;
ASRE beat the Refrigerants; and t h e Fourth Floor Gizmos took the Re- frigerants 37—25.
The D League continued' to be jumbled due to an excess of forfeits'.
Jn the four games that did get played the Conservation remained undefeated by walloping the Electronics Club 48—10; Harvey's Restaurant beat the Flying Aces 33—27; the Tops also beat the Flying Aces but by a 44—23 mar- gin; and the- Diesel Club edged the Bushwhackers- 25—20. Harvey's Res- taurant forfeited to the Conservation, and the Diesel Club became the first team t o be expelled from the league when they forfeited to Almond Hoop- sters on Saturday. The Dieselites have now forfeited tfwice and failed once to furnish referees. Under the special ammendment to the Intramural Con-
stitution, their records are removed from t h e league standings and the team is dropped.
The big game in the E League was for poossessdon of first place. Both Maple City Five and Burdick Hall had been undefeated, but when they met last Tuesday night t h e boys from the Maple City had t h e edge to the score of 34—23. The defending cham- pion Hickories continued their hot pace by upending the Alfred Saxons 40—19, and the Hornellians came from behind in a see-saw struggle to scratch Ma's Supporters 24—23.
There will be a meeting of mana- gers of teams in all five leagues-, Tues- day night, January 17, at 7:15 p. m.
in the office at t h e Ag-Tech Gym. All teams are reminded by the board to send a representative.
