FIAT LUX, MARCH 30, 1937, ALFRED, N. Y. No. 22Abolish Scout Laws, Educate By Experience, Says Eginton
Abolition of scout laws and oaths was the advice given by Dr. Daniel P. Eginton last Monday at the train- ing center for Boy Scout Leaders at Bath.
A former Scout Master himself, Dr.
Eginton told the leaders that they em- ployed the wirong (psychology. "A twelve-year old does not know the meaning of an oath," he said. "These children don't know what they are saying."
"Loyalty, industry, etc., should emerge as part of* their own experi- ence, as they grow and analyze the situation, and not from a set of rules tacked on the wall.
Dr. Eginton gave as an example the saying, "Do a good turn every day". "You do it because you're a scout and not because it's a natural emergency. As a result a boy scout is the subject of jests instead of be- ing 'red-blooded. Moral training should come from good fellowship and example."
He also believes the movement is
"too organized". The program is formalized by too much division, not leaving enough opportunity for in- dividual effort, creativeness, and genuine interests.
As in education, Dr. Eginton be- l i e v e s that development comes through individual iniative and not through a set of formalized rules. As an example he cited the Canadian movement which abolished Scouting and founded an organization based on ideas similar to those that he sug- gests.
Dr. Eginton commended Scouting for its outdoor activities and handi- craft work, and the leaders for their interest. He warned them not to be too critical of boys and above all not to get "sticky".
"Emphasize creativeness," be said,
"And if you are going to be a real scout leader, be willing to give time, energy and enthusism."

Debaters Want One-House Legislature
Bills for a uni-cameral state legis- lature and for slum-clearing will be presented by Alfred University's Forensic Society before the New York State Debate Conference at Syracuse University April 2? and 24.
Eight members of the Society and Prof. Burton B. Crandall, coach of £he group, are expected to attend the con- ference. Students from which the delegation will be chosen include Le- Roy Hodge, Weston Drake, Sam Sverdlik, Ray Wilk-erson, Helen Schane, Amelia Bailey, Nona Haseloff, Sylvia Gailor and Irving Milrot.
Representatives of debate teams from all New York State colleges and universities will gather at Syracuse and form a uni-cameral state legisla- ture. There they will propose, dis- cuss and act on bills of present in- terest to the welfare of the state.
The bills which pass the conference will be presented to Gov. Herbert H.
Lehman of New York State as sugges- tions of New York state college stu- dents.
The Alfred Forensic Society has ended its regular debate schedule and the season will be cilmaxed with the debate conference. A scheduled de- bate with Washington College at New York has been cancelled.

Instead cf a supper dance punch will be served.
Death Of Clubs Is Announced
"The Photography and Internation- al Relations Clubs are defunct," it was announced today by Mean M.
Ellis Drake.
Lack of interest and organization was blamed for the fall of the two organizations. The I.R.C. hacl been active for several years, but declined last fall when Leonard Lernowitz, president, resigned, and no move was made to elect a new leader. The pur- pose of the I.R.C. had been to dis- cuss current events in international diplomacy.
The Photography Club had been in a tentative state of organization among amateur photographers on the campus, but there was not sufficient interest to warrant formation of a club.
More than fifty Alfred University students and faculty members attend- ed the thirty-ninth annual convention of the American Ceramic Society at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York last week. Attendance at the convention was estimated at 1500 and registra- tion figures exceeded 950.
Faculty members and alumni of Al- fred played an important role in the business of the eight branches of the convention which were: General Ses- sions, Art Division, Enamels Divis- ion, Glass Division, Materials an((
Equipment Division, Refractories Di- vision, Structural Clay Products Di- vision and the Whitewares Division.
Dr. Alexander Silverman. head of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh and honor- ary alumnus of Alfred University, presided at the installation of the new officers of the American Ceramic So- ciety. Dr. Robert B. Sosman of the United States Steel Corporation was installed as president of the society succeeding Francis C. Flint, president of the Hazel-Atlas Glass Company.
Henry Le Chatlier and his Life Work was the title of a paper de- livered by Dr. Silverman to the Glass Division. At this division too. Dr.
Samuel R. Scholes, Professor of Glass Technology at Alfred University, read his papers on Undergraduate Thesis Work and on Results of Recent Tests on the Thermal Endurance of Glasses.
Prof. Charles M. Harder of the art staff of the Ceramics College presided as program chairman of the Art Di- vision of the convention.
John McMahon of the Ceramics Re- search Station presented a paper on The Ability of Underslips and Glazes to Cover Surface Cavities. Dr. H. G.
Schurecht presented four papers, one written in colloboration with Mr. Mc- Mahon on The Influence of Compo- sition of Underslips and Glazes on Spraying Defects and three written with the assistance of Major Lamp- man on the Drying Properties of Clays.
Other papers given by Alfred fac- ulty members included one by Prof.
Frank Lobaugh on' Colors for Sand- Mold Brick, one by Prof. Robert Camp- bell on Whitewares Research at Al- fred and one by Major Lampman of The Comparison of Viscosity and Wetting Ability of Glazes.
Prof. Robert Campbell, Edward Kunzman and other seniors of the Ceramics College acted as the Meeting Service Committee for the convention.
On Tonight's Forum
President's Rescue Of Drowning Child Gave Name To Pool
President-Emeritus Boothe C.
Davis dashed from his office in the basement of Carnegie Library and pulled a child from the waters of a pool, and "Prexy's Bathtub" got its name.
This is the version of the ori- gin of the name which was told to a Fiat reporter recently by the brother of the rescued child. The incident happened about 20 years ago, when Dr. Davis was presi- dent of Alfred University.
"My brother and I were leaning over the pool when he toppled in,"
said the source of our informa- tion, who wishes to remain un- known. "I was too small to pull him out, so we yelled for help, and "President Davis came from his office and rescued him."
Women Planning Backward Dance
Leap year may come once in four, but Alfred women take, advantage of this opportunity every year by hold- ing a W. S. G. Backward Dance.
This year's informal dance will be held in the Gymnasium Thursday eve- ning, April 8, from 8 to 12.
All W. S. G. members may attend free of charge. Admission is 50 cents for girls living in town with their parents. Stags may also attend for the same price.
Music will be furnished by the Lar- son Sound System. Novel refresh- ments, depending on the weather, will be on sale.
In other years the girls have called for their dates, escorted them home, paid all expenses and cut in on dances.
This year the same reversed etiquette will be carried out.
Ruth Wilson is general chairman of the dance. She is being assisted by Grace Sherwood and Betty Jane Cran- dall.
First Ag School Director Returning As Speaker At 27th Commencement
The Twenty-Seventh Annual Com- mencement of the New York State School of Agriculture will take place on Tuesday, April 13th. An event of unusual interest to old Alfredians will be the presence of Dr. O. S. Morgan as the commencement speaker. He was the first Director of the School, hold- ing that position from 1909 through 1911 He is at present Professor of Agricultural Economics at Columbia University.
Since this is the 25th anniversary of the first graduating class complet- ing the full three-year course as it was then organized, it'is expected that many old grads will make an unusual effort to be here.
The program is as follows:
12 o'clock luncheon at the Coffee Shop for all students who were in school during Dir. Morgan's regime.
2 o'clock Commencement program.
4 o'clock General Alumni get-to- gether and election of officers.
6:30 Annual banquet with Dr. Mor- gan as speaker followed by the annual Alumni Dance.
Because of the fact that The Uni- versity Chaplain and the Choir will be absent from town on Sunday, April 11th, the logical time for the Bacca- laureate Sermon, this has been moved up a week, and will be held at the Union University Church on Sunday, April 4th. Chaplain McLeod will preach the Baccalaureate Sermon.
It has been a number of years since Dr. and Mrs. Morgan have visited Al- fred. Their home at the time of his directorship of the Agricultural School was Morgan Hall, now Theta Chi. Dr. Morgan has led an inter- esting and busy life since leaving Al- fred as the following facts compiled from "Who's Who in America" evi- dence.

Dr. Watson Gets New Funds For Bee Research
A recent letter to Dr. Lloyd R. Wat- son from the Guggenheim Foundation places at his disposal the remaining funds for the bee breeding project which is to carry on from last year.
As a part of the work carried on under the allotment for last summer, Dr. Watson obtained bees from 75 breeders in various parts of the world.
One project was the measuring of bee tongues, a long tongued breed being highly desired. The longest tongue that he found measured seven milli- meters; the shortest, six •millemeters.
Because i the bumble bee has a very long tongue, he plans to cross it with the honey bee. He does not predict success because it is a very wide cross and the bumble bee lacks the hoard- ing instinct. Dr. Watson has sent re- ports to all the breeders who loaned bees.
On the borrowed bees he made many other tabulations such as wing spread, wing length and breadth, body weight and number of wing hooks. He stated that the largest bee which he has found, the giant-bee of India, has the smallest tongue.
As adviser for the bee breeding pro- ject at Iowa State College, Ames, Dr.
Watson1 will be visited this week by Frank C. Pettett, director of the pro- ject and field editor of American Bee Journal, for a full conference on the project.
For the Iowa project, some twelve or fifteen colonies of bees which seemed to have special qualities of disease resistance were collected in the United States and Canada. The colonies have been taken to Texas during cold weather where bees will propogate in winter. Dr. Watson states that already the project proves that the disease resistant qualities are heritable. The bees raised during the project show the same valuable char- acteristics, possibly with some im- provement.
Dr. Watson is working also to pro- duce a gentle bee. Some he has found, even though they have the nec- essary equipment, must be mistreated, even pinched, before they sting. The gentlest bee which he has found among the exeprimental groups comes from a cross between a fairly gentle bee and "one of the most devilish bees in the world."

Ags Get Budget Increase, Plan Technical Work
An increase of $39,314 in the bud- get of the New York State School of Agriculture here has been approved by the state legislature, it vas an- nounced today by Ag School Director Paul B. Orvis.
From its present budget allotment of $2S,396, the annual total has been raised to $67,710 for the coming year.
This will make possible a broad pro- gram of expansion within the school.
Exactly what changes are to be made in the curriculum and faculty, have not yet been determined, al- though Mr. Ovvis declares that both the curriculum and faculty will be ex- panded substantially.
Vocational Courses Planned
A shift in emphasis in the teaching will find a vocational course enjoying equal importance with the present ag- ricultural subjects. Details of the ex- panded program will be announced April 19.
Investigations through the state ast year revealed a definite lack of skilled workmen in the smaller com- munities. State education officials are attempting to remedy the situa- tion.
S k i l l e d carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and other workers are dis- appearing from small communities, and efforts are being made through- out the state to offer instruction in these professions. •
Double Enrollment
A student enrollment of double the present number may result from the program of expansion. A possibility of 200 students was hinted by the Agricultural School Director. The name of the school is expected to be changed to include it new features.
Of the new budget allotment, $22,- 000 will go into new equipment which will be made necessary by the curri- cular changes. A copy of the Gover- nor's Budget, received here over the week-end after being approved by state legislature, contains the wel- come news of the budget increase.
Craig To Take Audience Along On Deep-Sea Thrill Trips
Snowbound in the gold fields of the Yukon, marooned on a desert is- land in the South Seas, kidnapped by a wild band of Riffs and held 900 miles in the heart of the Sahara desert, wrestling sunken gold from the floor of the ocean—these have Seen some of the experiences of Cap- tain John D. Craig, undersea photo- grapher and adventure motion picture producer, who will speak at Alumni Hall this evening at 8 o'clock as the fifth feature on the 1936-37 Alfred University Forum.
Craig, who embarks this month on the most hazardous expedition of his career, an attempt to salvage the Lusitania, whose sinking off the coast of Ireland helped to precipitate America's entrance into the World War, will show adventure films taken on several of his expeditions, and will recount tales of his adventures in travels over five continents, 300,000 miles, and in 39 countries.
Ten Years of Adventure
At the age of 19 the young Craig left Cincinnati home to seek advent- ure. His life story these past 10 years reads like a story-book tale.
From the Yuion gold fields, Craig journeyed to Europe and thence into Africa, where a wild Riffian band held trim captive for four weeks and evaded the French Foreign Legion. His fierce hosts released him in Morocco.
Thence to Egypt, Japan, Manchuria, China, New Zealand, Malay and the jungles of India went Craig. In India, hunting big game with camera and rifle, Craig first entered the motion
picture industry.
An unfortunate accident to two British cameramen left a British film xpedition without photographers. For nine months Craig shot tiger-hunting pictures for the British company.
Back in America, Craig and a crew of technicians gathered to earn a liv- ng by filming adventure shots. They have travelled to the South Seas, over the continents of the earth, and deep into the cellars of the ocean for
hese films.
Designed Submarine Cameras
Designer of two types of submarine novie cameras, Craig's work in "Man- eating Sharks'" and "Wrestling Sword- fish" helped those films win the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Science Award in 1932-33.
The Craig company films back- rounds in out-of-the way countries and the "process backgrounds" are used in Hollywood for the filming of adventure pictures.
Craig's appearance in Alfred was erroneously announced as April 30
ast week.
Students Give Programs On U. S. Religion
'•St. Pat Not A Saint, Theologian Says;
Never Canonized
Safetv Exhibit
The exhibition now being shown in Carnegie Library is a Safety First display presented by the Seventh grade of the Alfred High School.
Clever posters are shown with booklets, pictures and a "Driver's Graveyard." These posters are done in watercolor, showcard paint and sometimes are cut-out pictures with a slogan printed beneath.
One striking picture is a girl dressed in a skiing costume and the slogan beneath is, "Be a Good Sport, Drive Safely."
Just as at one period in our lives we had to reconcile our- selves to the fact that there
"ain't no Santa Claus," now the Ceramic College will have to live up under the fact that "Saint Pat isn't a Saint". This was reveal- ed by Dr. A. J. C. Bond, head of the Theological Seminary.
It's true that St. Pat lived in Ireland, drove out the snakes, did marvels with clay products—so that we can still continue to look to him as our patron on that score.
Nevertheless St. Pat, who prKach- ed in Northern Island, was never canonized by the Pope, at least not before 1910, as records show.
The Catholic Church has gener- ally accepted all leading church- men before the Reformation as their Saints. When you get right down to the matter, the Seventh Day Baptists can claim him, for there were several Sabbath wor- shippers in Ireland at the time.
Six Alfred students are giving pro- grams of short talks and musical selections in vicinity towns, designed to explain some little-understood features of the leading religious denominations in the United States.
Under the general topic, "My Faith in the World of Religion," the speak- ers attempt to give the chief tenets of the Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, and Mohammedan religions, bringing out points of similarity.-
Speakers up to now have been John D. Young '37, and the Rev. Franklin B. Laundry '39, Protestants; Edward F. Creagh '38, Roman Catholic; and Henry Schneer '37, Jewish.
The Mohammedan religion, ODe of the largest in the world although not important in the United States, is dis- cussed by Luther Crichlow, a student in the Thological Seminary.
"Vocal solos on each program have been given by Victor A. Burdick '40, baritone.
First program of the series was given in Almond Methodist Church on invitation of the Rev. Mr. Laundry, who is pastor of the church. Last week several members of the group gave a program at Wellsville Ex- change Club.
Other appearances are tentatively scheduled for churches in Groveland and Rochester.

Let's Laugh
Our collegiate brothers at Yale recently went off on a tangent and drew the fire of the University of Pennsylvania daily newspaper when they started a satirical "Roosevelt for King-" movement. Denounc- ing the scheme as "rattle-brained," "disregarding good taste," and
"sophomoric," the Penn editorial called thei Yale organizers publicity hunters and prayed that "the American college man learn to divert his energy into constructive channels."
Outside of the need for an argumentative editorial now and then, the Penn journalists had no call to blast away at their Yale brothers in such fashion. They are trying, it seems to us, to lift college minds to an exaggerated seriousness which leads to nothing but stagnation and decay.
The essence of the true American is his ability to stand back and see the humor in the most serious situation which is being flaunted in his face by radicals, conservatives, and political hottentots. It is this American sense of humor which keeps us from unnecessary revoltuions and rebellions; our tempers are as quick as those of the. Latins, but when we laugh at the truly ridiculous we are able to settle down to clear-headed thinking.
It takes but a moment's thought to realize that there is nothing- serious in the "Roosevelt for King" movement. And there is scarcely any seditious, anti-Roosevelt sentiment in the organization. The big- est reason why America has no dictator today is that we are free to satirize our leaders as freely as is humanly decent. When the Wash- ington newspaper correspondents gather for their annual "panning"
of the Congressional bigshots, the bigshots are there themselves to force a smile.
That is America. Must we go out of our way and criticize every novel stunt? What's the matter, Pennsylvania, lost your sense of humor ? i
Hell Week — Yes or No ?
Abolition of Hell Weeks among fraternities at Allegheny Col- lege following the recommendation of the National Interfraternity Conference again brings to mind the question of Hell Week in Al- fred. It is purely a question of individual action among the fra- ternities, and one Alfred fraternal group already has abolished the system.
For Hell Week, it may be said that it is a lot of 'fun, is one of the few relics of real collegiana remaining in these modern days, gives fraternities a chance to know their men.
Against Hell Week, it is often charged that it is childish, creates ill-feeling and animosity, is a general period of discomfort for all concerned.
The question is worthy of discussion, and discussion should lead to intelligent action, no matter which avenue of action is followed.
And what ever became of President Roosevelt's plan for re- organizing the executive branch of the government?
No Creative Spirit
r
One of the major purposes, vague as it may have been, of the Saxonian staff when it embarked on the venture of Alfred's quart- erly magazine last year was to stimulate creative writing of poetry, short stories, essays, critical and factual articles, satire, and the like. To date the response has been very poor and it is inevitable that we may conclude there is little or no interest in literary work among Alfred students.
Is this the case, and if so, what can be blamed.' It may be the fact that half the university is enrolled in engineering and art courses which smothers literary endeavor. But certainly among the liberal arts students are a few who take a cursory interest in things literary.
To write is the only way to learn to write. If you have any inclinations along this line, overcome your bashfulness and spout forth.
Ramblings
One hard-boiled egg inserted neat- ly in a cake of laundry soap; a horses tail; same firing cones, a tin pan, some just garbage and a copy of "I Love You Truly!"
No. You're not having a nightmare, nor is it a sur-realist exhibit. It's merely a class in Ceramic Art—cre- ating forms by means of textures in- stead of line drawing.
Particularly fetching was the horse coming down a fire escape in the rain with a piano in its mouth. (Well that's what it was labelled)
Ropes may be strong but gravity is stronger. George Hill up and told fellow Theta Nu'ers that there was going to be a test in something-er- other. And after studying all night the weary martyrs discovered that Hill was just being facetious.
So after Georgie went to bed in the top berth some kind soul cut ropes and spilled the beans.
Boys will be boys, and there is j nothing like dormitory life to reveal character. Passerbye—'byers passing
—I mean passers passing—anyone passing Burdick Hall last Saturday around 5 o'clock p. m., would have seen:
One full suit of clothes hanging from the third floor balcony. Fasci- nated inmates of the Brick watched two hardy souls climb out the third floor windows, lock them behind them, fasten ' the clothes just out of reach from below and then shinny down a pole.

O N L Y T H C O U G H T H E OPEN A N D DNHAMPEPF D CLASH OF CONTTAEY OPINIONS CANTBUTHBE FOUND,"-—G/enn pan/c
Dear Editor:
The recent action by members of the Yale student body has caused nation wide editorial comment. The Yale group has singled out our lead- ing citizen, whom we must recognize regardless of what our politk-a! be- liefs may be, and have begun a move- ment, satirical in nature, to raise him to the level of "king".
We are not attempting to take political issue at this time, but we do wish to point out the utter use- lessness of an organization wh.ch has no constructive program. We are not above the age where we too can't indulge in good fun, and even satire.
But when in so doing we are causing a loss of respect to one whom needs our respect to carry on the duties of chief executive, to one who needs our confidence, we have lost all sense of proportions.
Last year one of the "big three"
pushed the Veterans of Future Wars program. It thrived on those peace organizations which had definite plans and constructive ideas. It ridiculed and laughtd itself out of existence, crumbling under its own uselessness.
This "Roosevelt for King" movement will probably find its doom in a similar manner.
Yet we can not help but point to the big three again and wonder whether their aims are not purely to gain the public eye, and whether they are losing their position as cultural strong- holds as our systems of higher edu- cation grow increasingly democratic.
Yours truly,
An Anti-Monarchist
This Collegiate World
(By Associated Collegiate Press) The gentleness he exercises in awakening ''fellow students for eight o'clock classes is just one kind of advertising that recommends Bernard Gilman, "The Slumber-Snapper" of the University of Richmond to new clients.
Eye-catching bills which he posts on all bulletin boards explain that he eases the soundest snorers to consci- ousness with a firm but unobjection- able touch—for only 20 cents a week.
"Do you know," his circular asks,
"that failure to eat breakfast kills more men every year than cancer, tuberculosis or halitosis? That fail- ure to attend early classes has blight- ed more college careers than any other cause?"
Chin golf, a game designed to aid shavers in going down the facial- faii-ways in the least possible strokes has yelled "fore" on nine university and college campuses in the East.
And collegians, one from each of the institutions in the Ivy League:
(Brown, Yale, Princeton, Williams, Dartmouth, Amherst, Columbia and Wesleyan) will compete Nin bringing their faces out of the "rough" with a minimum of strokes and no slices.
The first Eastern Intercollegiate Chin Golf Contest, to be refereed by Grantland Rice, Sportswriter, will be held on April 3, at 6:15 p. m., in New York City and will be broadcast by station WOR.
If any contestant nips himself, he will have two points tacked on his score in strokes. Six points for al- lowing a bristle to remain nnd ten for leaving dried soap visible on his face, neck or ears.
Education Classes Display Exhibits
The materials class of the Educa- tion department has been displaying exhibits in the Education Work Shop at Alumni Hall.•
The purpose of these exhibits is to get the student-teacher familiar in collecting material and building ex- hibits to develop certain topics of subject matter. These exhibits when done in high schools by the student and supervised by the teacher will motivate the student to master the subject by interest rather than just as book facts that are required by the state.
This week Willis Phelps has an ex- hibition of guns. Included in the dis- play are seaman's cutlass, a gentle- man's pistol of the 1870's, an officer's Sabre of the Civil War, the
"Six Shooter" that made Jesse James famous, a gasmask and other rifles.

'So They Say'
"Young novelists must have the ex- acting kind of courage necessary to endure isolation. Radios, automo- biles, telephones, new books and magazines are wolves in sheep's cloth- ing." Josephine Lawrence, author of
"Years Are So Long," offers Co- lumbia University novelists-to-be her
"more hermit—more success" formula.
"Most students at Stanford don't use their minds at all. They just jiggle them a little each day and then turn to more important things." Dr.
Ray Lyman Wilbur of Stanford Uni- versity exposes mental "jiggling"
That should be jiggling.
A new "entrance-exit" course in matrimony has been added to the Utah State Agriculture College curri- culum. "Marriage and divorce" is the name of the study.
Smoking in moderation might have a beneficial effect, says Dr. Arthur Binz, professor of chemistry at the University of Berlin. Corainine, a derivative of tobacco nicotine, stimu- lates the heart.
The game's object, as explained in the Rule Book of the United' States Chin Golf Association, is "to promote skill and success in the shaving of the face and to transform this morn- ing task from its present state of profane drudgery into a sport worthy of participation by civilized man."
Enthusiasm for- the new shave- game was voiced in an editorial in the London Times, part of which is quoted:
"Shaving is not to be a solitary and penitential morning rite, a time for gloomy reflection, for staring into the mirrored picture of an unattractive face and for bursting into ill-timed soliloquy. It is to become a sport and the day is to be started, as sportsmen would wish to start it. with a game, the game of Chin Golf."

Research Stations Studies Fuel Economics
"In 1600 it took 600 pounds of coal to generate one horse power; today it can be generated with les^; than one pound.
"Similar improvements have been made in the firing of ceramic ware, but the possibilities for further sav- ings are still great."
"In 1929 in New York, assuming the cost of fuel to be $2.50 a ton of brick, almost four million dollars was spent in firing brick. The possibility of saving one third to two thirds of all this cost for the ceramic industries is worth careful consideration".
The above quotations are taken from an early report from the Cera- mic Experiment Station at New York State College of Ceramics, Alfred Uni- versity. In outlining the work of the Station, Dr. H. G. Schurecht, director, says:
"In general the work of the Ceramic Experiment Station consists in con- ducting research on New York State raw materials, processes and products.
He divides the work into four groups:
1, Raw materials research; 2, Process research; 3, Product research: 4, Pub- lication.
Marionettes Enjoyed
The Rufus Rose Marionettes were presented Tuesday afternoon and eve- ning under the sponsorship of the Wee Playhouse.

LINES
We're out on the limb again.
We're going to prognosticate, In other words, we pick the Sophomore class to win the In- door Interclass Track Meet, this Friday. But, don't bet to many sheckels on it; we picked the Dodgers for the first division last year and Louis to kayo Schmeling.
The results of much scientific re- search and deliberation are as follows:
the sophomore class will pile up about 42 points to nose out the juniors, who will score 38 points. The freshmen will take third with 30 points, and the seniors will take part in the meet too.
The freshmen, led by Dauenhauer, Kellogg, and Snow, will probably monopolize'the middle and long dis- tance events. The half-mile, mile, and two mile runs should r e t them twenty points. Scannell may take a place in the dash, Argyros in the pole vault, and Bosco in the shot-put.
Outside of a few scattered fourths in the field events and hurdles, the freshmen do not have the team bal- ance to pile up more than 30 points.
Joe Majeske seems to be a sure bet to score 15 points for the sopho- mores. He will repeat his triple triumph of last year in the pole vault, high jump, and broad jump. Arkin,
•who tied for fourth place in tV.e high jump last year may again place, and scattered places in these three events may bring the soph total to 20.
• Sandy Arkin, Dick Brownel], and Walt Gardner should score eight points for the sophomores in the shot put. Don Bissell will take places in the high and low hurdles, and bring the soph total to 34.
Lyle Perkins, Russ Barreca, and Bill Knapp, the sophomore entrants in the middle and long distances, should easily score 8 points between them to raise the total to 42 End win the meet for the sophomores.
The juniors are the team which will pre(ss the sophomores for the title. The dashes and hurdles are their strong events. Ray Basrimagel should score 10 points for the juniors in the hurdles. Frank Parks should place in the hurdles, high jump and pole vault to raise the junior total to 17. Jim Hodnett and Howard Sephton will score 15 points between

Olympic Coach Gives Schurecht Fencing Pointers
Professor H. G. Schurecht, who has been instructing Saxon men and women in fencing during the past few weeks, was given some pointers on fencing by Joseph Vince, 1936 Olym- pic Fencing Coach, during Professor Schurecht's stay at New York City last week.
Professor Schurecht, captain of the Illinois University championship fenc- ing team in 1914, has not engaged in competition lately, wishing to learn some of the more up to date tactics, he consulted Vince, who pointed out flaws in his fencing style. Conse- quently he believes he is better equipped to teach fencing now.
During Professor Schurecht's al>
sence, Paul Slawter, one of his more advanced pupils has been giving pointers to the fencers. He believes there is good fencing material, par- ticularly among the women.
Professor H. G. Schurecht saw Joseph Vince, VS. S. Olympic Fencing Coach last week. .
A new way to kill time has been invented by students at Northern Illinois State Teachers College. They draw a circle representing a clock and hands. At five minute intervals they ink out the sections around the dial. At the end of the hour it is completely filled.
them in the dashes to bring *:!ie total to 32. Walter Scott and Boli Hughes should score 6 points between them in middle and long distances to total 40 points for the juniors.
The seniors are out of the running.
Ben Racusin may place in the pole vault, Oily Young in the pole vault and broad jump,-and Maynard Jones in the broad jump and 440 are the only senior threats.
Jack Edleson, last year's varsity basketball center, is now coaching basketball and teaching History at North Tarrytown high school. His court charges have completed their season with 18 wins and no losses.
Spring may be in the air, but we see by the papers that Rutgers Uni- versity and West Chester Stat Teach- ers played to a 7-7 tie last Saturday—
in football.
Boxing Tourney Next Tuesday Night
The Second Annual Bronze Gloves Tourney, Alfred's annual boxing clas- sic, will be held next Tuesday night at the. Gym directly after the athletic banquet.
Professor Harrison, who has been coaching the boxers for the past two months, stated to the Fiat reporter that those men who had been working regularly under his supervision would be in the pink of(condition.
Professor Harrison's boxing ses- sions have been held on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights.
The men have been taking workouts which include body-building exercises, j bag punching, and running on the track. The sparring has taken place under Professor Harrison's personal supervision, who has pointed out the flaws and taught the proper tactics.
Snavely Not To Speak At Banquet
Carl Snavely, Head Football Coach at Cornell University, will not speak at the Annual Athletic Banquet, next Tuesday night, as scheduled.
Snavely had accepted Chaplain Me- Leod's invitation to speak at the ban- quet, but asked to be excused when spring football duties made it im- possible for him to attend.
Chaplain McLeod is trying to get Ossie Solem, Head Football Coach at Syracuse University and formerly of Iowa State, to speak in Snavely's place.
An outstanding feature of the ath- letic banquet will be the presentation of awards to athletes who have earned their leters or numerals during the pase year. Lettermen will be admit- ted free of charge.

Under the leadership of Captain Martha Kyle, the juniors have had an undefeated year, with Zubiller as high scorer.
The highlight of the contest was the battle between the All-Alfred I guards, who were seniors and the All-
| Alfred forwards, who were members I of the junior team. The forwards got the edge on the guards and were thus able to outwit them.

Women Turn To Fencing, Archery
The women's sport spotlight will be focusced on fencing and archery this week.
21 women have responded to Miss Creighton's call for women fencers.
They are being taught fencing by Professor Schurecht as part of the women's sport activities program.
Sophomore trackmen will be defend- ing their title Friday afternoon a t the Davis Gym, as the four classes hook up in the tenth annual interclass track and field meet.
In last year's meet, the '39ers piled up 46J/2 points to nose out the class of '38, which scored 40 points. The class of '36 was third with 2iy2 points, the class of '37 last with 19 points.
Joe Majeske, '39, high scorer last year with 15 points will defend his three titles, the pole vault, the high jump, and broad jump. Majeske vaulted 11 feet, broad jumped 20 feet 1% inches, and high jumped 5 feet 6% inches to win all three events and has been working in all three events this year.
Sanford Arkin '39, holder of the in- door shot put record of 42 feet 2%
inches, will defend his title. Track fans, who are wondering as to whether Arkin's shoulder injury will handicap him, will be especially inter- ested in this event.
The half-mile event promises to be one of the most interesting of the afternoon. Walter Scott '38. winner of last year's event in 2:16.S, and Lyle Perkins '39, who was nosed out by a scant ten feet will hook up again in this event. They will have plenty of competition from the freshmen entrants, L.en Dauenhauer and Cliff Snow, and sophomores Bill Knapp and Russ Barreca.
The distance events will afford stiff competition with varsity and fresh- men cross country men as the leading entrants. Bob Hughes '38, Len Dauenhauer and Andy Kellogg '40,

"Leading artists of the screen
prefer Luckies"
"I live at the beach most of the year and there is hardly a weekend that a number of friends don't drop in. Naturally, 1 keep several brands of cigarettes on hand for guests, but the Luckies are always the first to disappear. I suppose it's just natural that Luckies would be the favorite brand because most of my friends in pictures have discovered that the long hours of rehearsing and shooting at the studio place asevere taxonthethroat. Leading artists of the screen prefer Luckies because they are a light smoke that sympathizes with tender throats."
FEMININE STAR OF DAVID O. SELZNICK'S TECHNICOLOR PRODUCTION OF "A STAR IS BORN"
xVn independent survey was made recently among professional men and women—lawyers, doctors, lecturers, scientists, etc. Of those who said they smoke cigarettes, more than 87% stated they personally prefer a light smoke.
Miss Gaynor verifies the wisdom of this pref- erence, and so do other leading artists of the radio, stage, screen and opera. Their voices are their fortunes. That's why so many of them smoke Luckies. You, too, can have the throat protection of Luckies — a light smoke, free of certain harsh irritants removed by the exclusive process "It's
Toasted". Luckies are gentle on the throat.

Reduced Rate Offered By Bus Company
The following announcement to stu- dents who plan to travel by railroad during the Spring Recess was given out from the Dean's office yesterday.
The problem o£ transporting stu- dents to and from trains has been a cause for concern to the University Administration for some time. After careful consideration of the various factors involved the following plan has been adopted as an experiment to meet our needs at the time of the spring recess.
Through an arrangement with the Hornell Transportation Co. buses are to be provided for transporting stu- dents whose homes are east of Alfred to and from trains in Hornell. A representative of the Erie R. R. Co., will be at the Registrar's office on April 8th to sell tickets good from Hornell. At this time bus tickets will also be on sale at the reduced rate of twenty cents for a one way trip and all students will be obliged to buy a ticket in advance in order to ride at the reduced rate.
Buses will be provided to care for only those who buy in advance. Stu- dents who do 'not buy tickets at Al- fred and in advance will be cared for only if there is additional space and at the regular bus fare of thirty-five cents. Bus transportation at the same reduced rate will be available for students generally who must travel by way of Hornell to reach their destination. It is not necessary to buy a train ticket to ride on the bus.
No cars will meet students at Alfred Station who are returning to Alfred on westbound trains as in the past.
Students whose homes are west of Al- fred will be taken care of if the need for transportation is made known at the Registrar's office.
Announcement will be made re- garding time of departure and trains for which bus transportation will be available.

Delta Sig's mustache-growing contest ended Sunday in a blaze of glory after seven days of ton- sorial cultivation when Jud ""Ra- mon" Gustin welched on the no- shave bargain and clipped his blooming handlebars as a result of a practical joke.
Gustin must wear a two-foot square sign, "I'm a Welcher," for a week, and present Bob Bleakley and Mont Shoemaker, successful competitors in the hair-blooming contest, with fitting refreshments.
According to agreement, the first to shave his mustach was declared a welcher and must proffer presents to the other two.
The contest was in full swing and black and brown fuzz was sprout- ing away Sunday afternoon when a fake telegram was given to Gustin, bearing the news that his brother and a' prospective sum- mer employer were on their way
to visit Jud.
Worried at his appearance, the gullible Mr. Gustin clipped his mustache.

Sam Scholes '37 placed in last year's hurdle event, but has not been working out this year.
Dick Brownell '39, Angelo Bosco '40, Walt Gardner '39, and Roger Jewett '38, will afford Arkin most of the com- petition in the shot put.
There are many others who have not been working out, but who may enter the meet and upset some of the leading lights.
Judge Debate
The Hornell High School Debating Team was given a unaminous decis- ion in a recent debate with Elmira Free Academy in which three Alfred students acted as judges. Judges were Mike Lester.
