First Profit In A Year Shown In Union Report
A profit of $202 from the Union's faceteria and machines was reported at last week's meeting of the Union Board. This is the first profit shown since the beginning of last year, said Paul Baker, chairman.
Highlight of the recent Union social activities was the Smorgasbord dinner, Tuesday. "The board wishes to thank Kurt Eckdahl for his decorating ideas and other suggestions for the dinner," stated Stan Garr '51, social chairman. The board has decided to have a party each month with "Ides of March" on the 15th scheduled as the next affair. In addition, "open house" will be arranged each Saturday.
Thursday afternoon at 3 p.m., the second performance of the new jazz combo will be held.
Also discussed at the meeting was the need for student volunteer groups to form committees for the future par- ties being planned. Anyone interested is urged to sign up to work on the following committees: decorations, publicity, public relations and enter- tainment. The board later may con- sider these volunteers to fill vacancies
on the Board. According to the Union constitution, Baker declared two va- cancies upon the third consecutive ab- sence of both Donald Bern us AT, and Thomas McShane '50.
Upon the recommendation of Dr.
Kenneth Burdick, pie and pastry cases will be installed in the cafeteria to improve health standards.

Draft Exemptions Explained In Reply To Fiat Questions
In reply to a letter of the Fiat Lux, the New York State headquarters of the Selective Service System cleared up a few confusing points on select- ive service.
In answer to the Fiat's main ques- tion, "Will students who have had two or three years of college be deferred until they graduate?" the letter stated in part that a registrant may be de- ferred if he is engaged in "an activity in study, research, medical, scientific, and other endeavors found to be neces- sary to the maintenance of the Nation- al Health, Safety or Interest." In effect, most students may not be de- ferred until graduation. Pre-medical students may be certified to the Na- tional Director of Selective Service for deferment by the Healing Arts Ad- visory Committee in Washington. The local boards may then grant a defer- ment. Students are permitted to stay in school until the end of the academic year, or until they graduate, which- ever is earlier.
Men who have served in the Mer- chant Marine are eligible for service in the armed forces. ", . . Previous service, or men who have served in the Merchant Marine, is not of itself satisfactory evidence to entitle the registrant under this 1948 Act to a deferment."
If a man served honorably on active duty between December 7, 1941 and) September 2, 1945 for over 90 days, or between September 16, 1940 and June 24, 1948 for twelve months or more, he is eligible for a deferred classifi- cation
Men who have reached the age of 18 and who have not reached their 26th birthday, are required to register.
AT Student Council Will Sponsor Inch Dance Friday Night
Short girls will be in demand for the Friday night "Inch Dance" sponsored by the Ag-Tech'Student Council for the benefit of the European Foster Child Fund. The name "Inch Dance"
comes from the method of charging admission. Men who come stag will be admitted for $1.00, but those who bring dates will be charged two cents for every inch of their girls' height.
The dance will be held February 18 from 8:30-12:00 at the South Hall gymnasium. Music will be furnished by the Collegians.
New Heights Snack Shop Seeks Name
A new snack bar was opened in Rodies House, Saxon Heights Feb. 9 for the convenience of men living in the three dormitories on the Heights.
Managed by C. W. Kincaid '51, the snack bar will be open from 7 to 9 a.m. and 8 to 10 p.m.. daily. A con- test, open to all residents of Saxon Heights, will be conducted to find a name for the bar.
Kincaid said the bar will feature hot dogs, but will serve a variety of sand- wiches and, in the morning, fruit juice, breakfast rolls, doughnuts, cof- fee, and milk. It is open to all stu- dents and University employees.
Judges of the name contest include George Coon, project manager, Kin- caid. H. Philip Barnhart. manager of dining halls and dormitories, and Treasurer Edward K. Lebohner. A prize of $5.00 in merchandise at the bar will be awarded to the winner.
Fine Arts Club Affair Set For Senate Debate
The recommendations of the "Fine Arts Club" will be first on the agenda tonight as the Student Senate meets for the first time since Jan. 18. Des- pite the four-week lay-off caused by examinations, President Jack Jones promised that the Senate would not forget to consider the proposals con- cerning the improvement of the Senate as a campus organization.
These proposals, restated at the last meeting by William Bayuk '50, recom- mended that a committee be appoint- ed to investigate the Senate's method of appropriating funds, that a course in parliamentary procedure be given to prospective Senators and that a committee of students and faculty be appointed to look into the matter of the re-organization of the Senate and make recommendations for improve- ments.
Another idea which may be dis- cussed tonight concerns the feasibil- ity of appropriating money to clubs.
Both President Jones and Treasurer Daniel Kane '49, expressed the opinion that clubs should be self-sufficient and that Senate money should be donated

Diesel Students Find Ag-Tech Specialized Training Essential
By Jerry Smith
Men, who as small boys wanted to be "a railroad engineer," are doing something about it in the laboratories and shops of the Agricul- tural and Technical Institute.

Hot Plate Ordinance Becomes Effective For March Deadline
The use or possession of hot plates in the Saxon Heights dormitories- will be prohibited after March 1 according to Dean Edward L. Hawthorne. The decision to forbid the use of hot plates came after a meeting of the Dean and the dormitory councilors.
"The main reason why hot plates should not be used is that they present a fire hazard," Dean Hawthorne noted in a memorandum, which is to be is^
sued to residents of the dormitories.
"The danger is twofold," Dean Haw- thorne pointed out, "fire may be caused by direct contact with the plates or by an overloading of the electrical wiring system which was designed to provide current for light- ing purposes only."
The chief justification for the use of hot plates had been the distance of the dormitories from Alfred. This sit- uation has been remedied by the in- stallation of a snack bar in Rodies House.
Dean Hawthorne warned that it would be necessary to enforce the new ruling. The penalty for repeated of- fence of the rule will be immediate dismissal from the dormitory.

Wingate, carillon- em1 who directed the famous pre-war Glee Club, has agreed to assist with the project.
Tentative schedule for the plan in- cludes the formation of a men's glee club immediately. Recording probab- y will take place next Fall or later depending upon how soon Dr. Wingate
:an arrange the songs and how soon the glee club reaches the necessary state of perfection. Recording prob- ably will be done on campus by an ex- perienced company.

a steady hand on the throttle.
Some of them are former railroad employees who with the aid of the G. I. Bill or railroad-earned savings are learning "the technical stuff."
James Coleman, a machinist's helper on diesel maintenance at the Erie- Shops in Hornell before coming to the Ag-Tech. is an example.
"I decided that one way to get ahead was to get some education in the many types of combustion chambers which I didn't learn through my practical experience," he said.
Daniel O'Donnell. departmental chairman and a former operating en- gineer who helped design the course, said of the job possibilities in the rail- road industry, "Today more than 90 percent of all locomotives on order by American railroads are of the diesel- electric type."
This is borne out by the fact that plans are under way now to make the Ag-Tech facilities available for train- ing of nearly 300 Erie Railroad em- ployees as well as conducting addition- al supplemental training in the Erie shops in Hornell.
However, some of the 17 students are planning to go into sales, testing, operation or maintenance of internal combustion equipment.
"Diesel is an expanding field and I think there will be a demand for trained service men," said Herbert Poech. Fred Norton, who was work- ing nearby agreed and added, "There will be a lot of work to do just in in- stallation."
That the new course is filling a need felt by the diesel industry is in- dicated by arrangements being made by Walter C. Hinkle, acting director of the Institute who conceived the idea of the course last year. "We are mak- ing plans for summer employment of our students with one of the large die- sel manufacturers in the Buffalo area.
Also several diesel service agencies and distributors have signified their

Selective Service
The October 1948 issue of "Service Facts," released by the Office of the Secretary of Defense generally paints a pleasant picture of life in the armed forces. It contains many interesting facts, howver, about Selective Service.
Exemptions from military service (not registration), according to the booklet, include veterans, ministers and ministerial students, and conscientious objectors. "Also exempt is a sole surviving son of a family in which other members were killed in World War II or subsequenily died of Service-connected wounds, injuries, or disease."
All students pursuing Reserve Officers Training Corps courses are not necessarily exempt from military service.
"Generally, men who were. . . in "the third or fourth year of the course on June 24, 1948, may be deferred by their local boards. . . But they may be ordered to active duty after their graduation. The Secretary- of Defense is also authorized to designate other ROTC students for deferment if they sign written agreements to serve on active duty for a period of two years after graduation."
After basic training, many technical courses and jobs are open to servicemen, including administration, communications, radio, radar, electronics, motor vehicle maintenance and repair, medical and technical work, ordinance, and photography.
It is possible for enlisted men, except one-year enlistees, to apply lor training leading to a commission. Enlisted men may also apply for appointment to West Point and Annapolis.
We were greatly interested in the educational opportunities available to service men. The correspondence school for the Armed Forces is called the United States Armed Forces Institute. High school, vocational, and college-level courses are offered through the correspondence and self-teaching plans. Most colleges and Univer- sities accept the correspondence courses offered by USAFI for credit.
Men serving under this Selective Service Act will not be entitled to benefits under the GI Bill of Rights. One-year volunteers will not be sent on overseas duty, but men serving for 21 months will be eligible for duty overseas.
After they have completed their period of service, one-year vol- unteers will be transferred to the Reserve components for a period of six years, or to an organized unit of the Reserve or National Guard for four years. Men who complete 21 months of service will serve in a Reserve component for five years, or three years in an organ- ized unit of the Reserves or the National Guard, or remain in the regular Army on active duty for an additional year.

"We have heard from quite a few students that if they had the chance to be a freshman again, they would try and improve them- selves by studying harder, etc. But upon asking the students the question, "What would you do if you were a freshman again?" we found that the majority of the students actually would have done the sa/ne thing again.
Donald Bemont '51—You might think you arc kidding, but it could happen again.
Ralph Boesen AT—A little more study and less fooling around—except on week-ends.
Larry Dure '50—I'd turn over a new leaf and try to get an education—
preferably down South.
Robert Lyons AT—:Go to another school.
Ruth Sly '51—The only regret I have is that I didn't have enough fun. If I had it to do over again I would be a little more foolish and down to earth.
Roger Woodward '51—The smartest thing I could do if I were a freshman again would be to get all A's.
Florence Regenbrecht CS—I'd cut more classes.
Henry Greenberg '50—I'd plug up the holes in my head, so the knowl- edge wouldn't run out like it does now. Bill McClurg '52—I'd find a girl that would take me out.
Paul Kiesow '50—I had some pretty wild times when I was a freshman, so I don't think I'd change It.
Les Shershoff '49—God forbid.
Frances Barnett '49—I'd give my right arm to be a freshman again.
Gordon Stermer '50—I'd do the same thing as 1 did, have a good time.

Alfred Area Shows Improved Financial Position Says Langer
One threat to the continued prosperity of the Alfred University Study Area—a self-destructive outward flow of funds—was met and reduced in 1948.
Henry C. Langer Jr. professor of economics and business, said that the Area shows an improved cash position mainly because of a
$3.2 million reversal in the flow of funds through 15 banks in the tri- county region.
"It is possible that the change was caused by less sales made to the area and more purchases made from the area industries," Langer said. Scat- tered interviews, for instance, revealed that less life insurance was sold to

Sixth in a series, the study is based on a survey of bank credit expansion and the flow of cash. It noted that
$430,000 flowed into the area last year as compared to $2.8 million that had flowed out in 1947.
At the same time, an increase of $1.2 million in loans
1by area banks was more than compensated for by an in- crease of more than $1.4 million in deposits irf area banks. Large-scale borrowing of 1947 was not evident last year, so that nearly two million dollars less cash was available for business and other transactions.
The flow of funds analysis measures cash position in the area but does not measure change in the total economic wealth.- However, Langer said, "it is logical to conclude that the changed pace in flow of funds and bank credit has taken place without serious conse- quences to the area."
Assisting Mr. Langer in the study were S. J. Bella, assistant professor in the department and Leo Plank '49, economics and business major. The study was the third made by the Uni- versity concerning flow of funds. The area includes 33 townships in Alle- gany, Steuben and Livingston coun- ties.

Senate To Discuss
(Continued from page One) to over-all campus activities. Both said that they had long considered the idea but Jones added "the Fine Arts affair brought the matter to,a head."
Before he made his recommenda- tions, Bayuk defended the Fine Arts Club for writing the letter which ap- peared in the Jan. 11 issue of the Fiat.
Although Bayuk admitted that his group might be open to the charge of sensationalism, he pointed out that the organization had accomplished its pur- pose of "arousing student interest in the Senate and making the Senators conscious of their mistakes."
Following a prolonged discussion a motion to impeach Senators Bayuk and Justin Pierce '49 was defeated 25-7.
A three-fourths vote would have been necessary in order to carry on im- peachment proceedings.
A proposed amendment, which pro- vided for the election of a vice-presi- dent by the Senate in case of a vacan- cy, failed to win the approval of the Senate. An alternate amendment was therefore proposed, which stipulated that the election of a vice-president must be subject to the approval of the various residence units. This propos- al will come to a vote this evening.
Treasurer Daniel Kane reported that the Senate has a balance of $505.36.
Kane pointed out that it had been necessary to draw $500 on the Senate's second semester account.

Concerning the course, which may be taken on a two or three-year plan, Mr. O'Donnell said, "The diesel cur- riculum has been designed to include basic instruction as well as specialized training so that the graduate is a well-rounded technician capable of adapting himself to new situations in the diesel industry."
He went on to prove his point by explaining that Ag-Tech students spend 50 percent of their time in the Internal combustion field." For the rounding out process, he said students take sue hsubsidiary courses as draft- ing and design, mathematics, physics, materials of industry, fuels and lubri- cations and English and economics.
"As the demand for diesel and diesel- electric power grows, there is a para- llel demand for men with a knowledge of its characteristics, limitations and requirements," Mr. O'Donnell said.
"The Institute is serving this demand by supplying trained technician's to
Bridge Competition Will Determine Representative
Competition to determine the Alfred representative in the National Inter- collegiate Bridge Tournament wijll take place tomorrow at 8 p.m. in Soc- ial Hall. Richard Robinson '50. mana- ger of the Alfred division of the tournament, urged bridge players to enter and asked that all contestants be sure to bring their own partners.
Bridge players who wish to attend the Forum may do so Tuesday eve- ning, regardless of the color of their tickets.
President Jones read a letter from Fred Palmer, superintendent of build- ings and grounds, recommending that seals be attached to the fire extin- guishers in Bartlett dormitory. If this seal were broken for any reason other than use for fire, a $25 fine would be imposed. The Senate moved to adopt this idea rather than the idea originally proposed, which involved enclosing the fire extinguishers in glass cases.
A request by the Intramural Board for representation on the Senate was denied because the Constitution stipu- lates that Senate members may be elected only from residence units.

by jerrysmith The weather dropped down toward the zero mark the other day and, hav- ing given up trying to get the heating plant on the telephone, we took a walk over to see Jim Neeley, the familiar chief engineer who knows the heating plant and its operation like you know the inside of your pocket. He took us on a tour of the plant and now we are so full of figures and facts that we feel like a senior engineer.
"We use about 3000 tons of coal each Winter at a cost of from $30,000 to
$32,000," he started off. "There are 700 tons in that pile on State Street when it is full. The two furnaces each use about half a ton per hour when they are going at capacity."
Jim traced the route of coal with a sweep of his hand to a conveyer and then to hoppers on the front of the two furnaces. "The furnaces have fireboxes about 9 times 5 feet in area,"
he said and went on:
"Co.il burning at .hij rate brings pre-her'etl water up to the evapora- ti n point in the two 1600 gallon boil- ers which are kept about two-thirds full of water. Average steam pressure is between 80 and 85 pounds per square inch."
* * *
Cinders, he pointed out, are hauled from the fire-boxes with heavy, ten- foot shovels. Smoke goes out the fam- iliar chimney which was built in 1917 and is approximately 130 feet high (about a quarter us high as the Wash- ington Monument) and is about ten feet across the base and five feet across the top. From one to three truckloads of soot is" taken from the base of the chimney every Spring.
"The steam is forced to 15 buildings on campus plus the College of Ceram- ics and the Ag-Tech," Jim continued.
"In all except the last two a 'modera- tor control' regulates the amount of steam entering the building and that is what causes the clanking of water pipes. Also there is equipment in each building which reduces boiler pressure from 80 pounds to five to de- crease leakage."
* * *
Temperature in all buildings is con- trolled with a single thermostat lo-' cated on the outside corner of the heating plant, he added.
"Once the steam in the pipes cools enough to condense, it is sucked back by a vacuum pump to a heater which raises the temperature again from 18*0 to 230 degrees before the water is pumped back into the boilers," Jim said pointing to a water-heater about twice 'the size of the one in the base- ment at home. "This makes for con- siderable saving because we figure it*
costs one percent of coal for every ten degrees raise of water temperature in the main boilers."
We asked him about the water and he replied that it is regular village water which Is put through a soften- ing process to remove the magnesium.
"Did you ever hear us 'blow a boiler?' " he asked. Having heard it from practically every corner of the campus, we replied in the affirmative and he explained: "That isn't waste- ful, as you might think. We have to do that occasionally to relieve the con- centration of solids in the boiler."
We then were advised that running the heating plant—which also includes distribution of all electrical current on campus and hot water during the Summer among other things—requires five other full-time men, Ell Stevens, Ray Decker and Louis Schmidt, all firemen who work round-the-clock eight-hour shifts, and two maintenance men, Erwin Wasson and Carol Ruger.
"It's a pretty important part of the University, if you stop to think about it," Jim agreed in conclusion. ."We need a new plant badly because we are. on truth, heavily overloaded and both boilers are pretty old. But a new plant would cost from $200,000 to
$300,000. That's a lot of tuitions."
* • * .
We, have to thank Walt Lindenhower and;, we Ithink, Tom McShane for bringing to us a letter Walt received from Coach Frank Leahy of Notre Dame. Walt, it seems, sent Coach Leahy the Nov. 23 Fiat in which a waggish reporter nroved that LIT Alf could shellac the Ifish with a 45-point margin. Coach Leahy, perhaps with tongue in cheek, replied:
"Our delay in replying is indicative not of our lack of Interest but rather the extent that a football coach can get behind during the course of a season.
"In 1949, I fear that the prediction as outlined in your clipping, would' really happen."

Saxon Average Drops Sharply In Four Games
In the past three weeks Alfred has sunk from a .667 percentage to one of .445, with losses to Brockport State Teachers, St. Lawrence, Rochester, and Buffalo State Teachers. Their last victory was on Jan. 18 when they out- pointed Cortland State Teachers 53- 47.
In the Cortland game Jesse Hannan showed vast improvement by scoring 18 points. A good number of these were tap-ins. The Brockport contest was lost in an over-time by a 44-47 count. Dick McNamara dropped 22 points through the hoop to lead the scoring. This marked the third con- test Alfred has lost in an overtime.
After the Brockport contest Alfred played host to St. Lawrence on Jan.
28, and let the Larries paste them, 72-51. Alfred got off to a slow start and never did get moving. Before they knew it St. Lawrence had a 14-2 lead, and from there on were never headed. Coach McWilliams tried num- erous combinations to try and stop" the Larry attack, but to no avail.
Alfred then had over a week ot lay- off during mid-year exams before meeting the University of Rochester who edged them, 54-49. In this battle Rochester got off to a 10-3 lead, with Bill Norris scoring seven of the first 10 points. Then the Purple and Gold held'the Rivermen scoreless for nine minutes as they threw in 16 points, with Bucky O'Donnell scoring eight.
The score was 27-27 at the half. It was 37-37 going into the fourth quar- ter. But here the Rivermen edged ahead and were never again behind.
Saturday evening Alfred was nosed out by Buffalo State Teachers, 50-48, in a game which had everybody excit- ed. Alfred scored first, only to have Buffalo go quickly ahead and lead 28-22 at the half. In the third quarter Alfred fought to within four points.
Bill LeFeber then sunk a foul shot and a hook-shot to make the count 37-38 going into the fourth period.
With six minutes left Bill Argentieri put Alfred ahead, 45-44, on a two-point- er. McNamara sunk a-free throw be- fore Buffalo's John Lang tied it up at 46-46. Buffalo then scored four points to lead 5'0u48, a margin which soon proved adequate. O'Donnell made a try with a one-hander, but Alfred lost the ball in the remaining seconds.

Klan, Maple City Win One Game Each To Retain Unbeaten Status
since the vacation the two undefeated teams in the American League, Klan Alpine and Maple City, have each plyaed and won one contest. Maple City trampled Kappa Nu, 56-22, while Klan barely squeezed by Burdick Hall, 33-30. The Burdick boys, still more of a Kang than a team, put in 21 points in the first half, holding Klan
to nine. They faded in the stretch, ' however, leading by four at the end of the third period and trailing by three when the final whistle blew.
Dave Swartz of Burdick scored high with 15 points.
In the National League, the Reti Alf* and the Hickories remain unde- feate. The Red Alfs downed the Cres- cents last Saturday to make it six 'n | a row; the Hickories annexed their fifth win when the Barnstormers for- feited to them. The Crosses, who were unbeaten at the last writing, have subsequently been handed their first defeat. The Red Alfs definitely established superiority, outscoringj their 58-6.
In the last issue it was reported that Maple City had lost the decision in the protest of their game with Beta Sig, which Beta won, 40-36. This was a mistake. Maple City was awarded the decision on the grounds that Karl Penders, who scored 18 points that day, has played varsity ball this sea- son. He appeared briefly in the Lin- coln game. Maple City is still unde- feated and has six wins to its credit.
The most important game on this week's schedule is the meeting of Klan Alpine and Maple City. They play Saturday at 1 p.m., in the Men's Gym.
Intramural Manager Charles Simek AT expects the basketball tourna- ment to be over by Easter time. In order to accomplish this, each team will probably play only ten games instead of the twelve that a full sched- ule for the thirteen team league would demand.
Course Change Deadline Announced By Registrar
The (leadline for effecting changes in second semester courses is 5:00 p.m.
tomorrow, warned Registrar Clifford M. Potter. After that, a student who withdraws from a course will receive a grade of W which will result in a minus one index for each semester hour of the course.
