VOL. XXXI, NO. 6 TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1943, ALFRED, N. Y. Telephone 29-T-lll STUDENT BOX HOLDER
Re-election For Frosh Officers Scheduled
Misunderstanding Of Student Nurse Status Causes Change
Because of a misunderstanding on the part of the Student Sen- ate, the student nurses who are regularly enrolled freshmen in the Liberal Arts College were prevented from participating in the fresh- man elections of the class officers Thursday evening after assembly.
The ballots marked at the elections have been destroyed without count- ing, and a different method of nom- inating and electing officers has been adopted.
Each freshman is to fill in the form in the next column with his own name, and his choice for nominees for the four class offices. This form is then to be clipped out and deposited in a box which will be provided for the purpose, at a place to be announced.
All forms must be in by 7 :30 p. m.
Thursday in order to be counted. The three persons receiving the highest number of nominations will be selected as nominees for the election, which will be conducted next week in the same manner.
It is likely that the person elected as president of the freshman class will also represent the class in the Student Senate, sa those participating are urged to give careful consideration to their choice.
Miss Sleezer Tells Of WSS Fund Work
Miss Patricia Sleezer, representative of the World Student Service Fund, spent last Friday and Saturday on the campus discussing the work of the fund, and helping with plans- for the
•Campus Community Chest.
Friday Miss Sleezer had luncheon

A blood bank, sponsored by the Buffalo Unit of the Red Cross, will be held in Alfred Friday, October 22, for students of the University and for towns-people.
The quota for this time is 150 pints, thereby making it necessary to have over 200 volunteers.
The blood plasma which is given will be sent to all parts of the world so that soldiers needing blood transfus- ions can be taken care of without de- lay.
All those wishing to serve the Blood Dank are asked to get in touch with Mr. A. B. Crofoot so that a schedule can be made out.

Full Assembly Schedule Made Known By Dean
The Assembly Program Com- mittee has completed arrange- ments for an interesting series of programs for the first part of the college year, according to Dean M. Ellis Drake.
The following events have been scheduled: November 2—Earle Spicer, baritone. Mr. Spicer is noted as a sing- er of traditional English and American ballads and has appeared with many outstanding symphony orchestras and choral groups.
December 13—Harry France. Mr.
France is a distinguished New York financial expert long associated with the Guardian Trust Company, and is described as "the only man who can talk about money and make it interest- ing for everyone".
January 10—Gerhart Segar. Mr.
Segar is a former member of the German Reichstag and of its impor- tant Foreign Relations Committee.
He is now the editor of the Social- democratic German weekly "Neue Vol- kzeitung" and a noted writer and lecturer.
Dean Drake asks that it be noted that the assemblies are to be held on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thurs- days, and that all campus organiza- tions cooperate by giving assemblies priority over all meetings. The sched- ule for the months of February, March and April will be announced shortly.
Annual Big-Little Sister Dinners Begin
"The annual big-little sister dinners will begin this week," announced Olivia B. Bussell '44, president of Intersorority Council.
Dinners this week are scheduled on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
The dinners will continue through- out next week. According to the Inter- sorority rules, no girl may remain in the house she is visiting after 7:30p.m.
Chaplain Genne To Discuss Prayer In Service Sunday
The University Church next Sun- day morning will have as its theme
"Prayer". Chaplain Genn<§ plans to discuss prayer as the heart of all worship and to offer some practical considerations regarding the subject for these times.
The increasing interest of many students in the source of nourishment for the spiritual life makes this dis- cussion quite timely. Obstacles and handicaps to the practice of the art of prayer will be frankly discussed.
No Appropriation Forms Received Because no application forms have as yet been received, the Student Sen- ate took no action on appropriations.
The total^ amount for appropriations this year will be about $175, as com- pared to $338 distributed last year.
ACF Program Is Expanded
The Alfred Christian Fellow- ship further expanded its pro- gram as the result of discussions with Mr. Ray Sweetman, Student Christian Movement Secretary of New York State. In a lively dis- cussion following luncheon Satur- day, the cabinet agreed to keep Social Hall open Sunday after- noons, and to continue the Music Hour, for all faculty, students, and campus guests.
According to the new plan, the student vespers will be moved to 7:45 Sunday evening, to be followed by the program and discussion. This hour will permit large participation of the regular student body. Plans for spec- ial groups for military students are being worked out in conjunction with the Chaplain's Committee of the ASTP unit.
The Cabinet itself adopted a new meeting time, eight o'clock Thursday evening, immediately following the choir rehearsals of the two churches in the village.
Plans for participation in the forth- coming intercollegiate conference at Cortland State Teacher's College were also discussed. There will be at least three members to the Alfred delega- tion—and several more are consider- ing the weekend event which occurs October 22, 23, and 24.
Argosy Publication Is Discontinued This Year
Because of low registration of full time students, the regular publication of the Ag-Tech student annual, The Argosy, will be discontinued this year.
Other Ag-Tech extra-curricular activ- ities have either been canceled or com- bined. Assembly programs will be held together with those of the other colleges.
Ceramic Guild Plans Art Exhibit Series Here October 12 Through 30

As A Fire Burns
When one watches a fire he notices a tiny spark catch hold of a jnass of combustable material. Suddenly he notices that the spark is no longer tiny for it is consuming the entire mass of this material.
According to the presence of oxygen, moisture and other factors it may burn brightly and quickly or it may smolder on indefinitely.
Either can be dangerous—both the flames and the coals are capable of igniting additional fires which could in a relatively short time be entirely out of control.
Tiny sparks of irritation can catch hold of people and soon con- sume them in a fury of action or leave them smoldering with reesnt- ment, ready at any moment to burst forth and ignite those around them.
At times this is good. When a properly watched fire is allowed to burn freely within a restricted area in order to destroy unnecesary and unsightly rubbish, it accomplishes something valuable for all concerned. However, the fire which has gotten out of hand presents another problem. It burns and burns, spreading out in all directions, destroying everything in its way. And then it dies leaving a black- ened, smoky, desolate mess for someone to clean-up and rebuild.
The fire within a person acts in much the same way. Allowed to burn within its proper area; to clean out old ideas and prejudices and obsolete precidents, in order to make way for improvement it is good. But when it has been smothered for a time, it suddenly blazes fort, igniting a group of people who rebel and destroy tradi- tions which are foundations for existance. This wasteful energy dies
eventually and leaves only the smoke and ashes.
A good exemple of this last case is the smoking problem of last
t
year. Students were furious—their fury accomplished a purpose but it left in its wake a disagreeable atmosphere and a sense of disgust among the most ardent defenders of the cause; not because they had challenged the rules but because of the way in which they were forced to challenge them.
The sparks of a second fire are already present. Would it not be better to let them burn where they can accomplish good, rather than to have them smolder and burst forth where they can destroy?
Where Is The Proof?
The politicians in Washington have been wrangling for more than a year now over whether the men who have families should be drafted into the services. All this time draft boards have been eat- ing and eating into the supply of the nation's youth. In thousands of instances men have been called out of colleges or have been afraid to enter because of immediate induction.
"We want them young," is the cry. When they're young—they're quick they're adaptable, they're sturdy." Statistics are called forth to back these statements. Graphs are shown to prove that men twenty- one years of age can pull rifle triggers a fraction of a second faster than men who are thirty-one.
America is young in the war. If she continues to tap the resevoir of youth through out the duration of the conflict, who and what will be left to carry on the ideas and ideals for which the rest are fighting?
Canada and even England, hard pressed as she is for man power in the services and industry, have made special arrangements where- by a certain percentage of the best of her youth should be allowed to continue in school. The Chinese too adhere to this practice. Men who would make the best soldiers, sailors and marines are urged to further their liberal arts educations so that they will be prepared for the post war battle of re-construction and rehabilitation and to lay the foundations of peace through intelligent understanding qf nations, their people and their goals.
Where in Utilitarian America are the graphs to prove that some of the top layer of young America must be left in schools? Unless they are found or some equally convincing proof is offered it would seem that the future progress of our nation will be seriously impared by her present progressivenesa.

Did you know that a tremendous campaign is being readied to steam- roll a new Prohibition Law into exist- ence? And can you imagine what such a law would do to this town?
It becomes increasingly humorous daily as big business attacks the orig- inally anti-labor Smith-Connally Bill.
The latest attack was made by Sewell Avery of Mantgomery Ward who claims the law is unconstitutional. It
\m obvious that in the great haste to push the bill through Congress, some- one was careless about the details, and now the bill has become on un- eontrojable boomerang, whacking the hand that flung it.

My fans have requested that I con- tinue pasting another contributor to the Fiat, but I really don't think he rates any sort of publicity, for the pre- sent. After he has accumulated an- other two dozen blunderous statements I will simply publish the fact that he has reached no. 30.
My commendations to Dr. Barnard for his enlightening piece on the treat- ment of the frosh. I recall that of all the statements issued at the time of the should-the-girls-be-allowed-to-smoke -in-the-Collegiate hullabaloo his was the only one that showed a real under- standing of the problem.
One of the ASTP guys was telling me the other night that he wrote home to tell his mother to take back the service flag out of the window until he goes back to his combat unit. And speaking of service flags, I think that I enjoyed Wachy's column on Army Slang very much. That Tarfu and Snafu really gets you, but wouldn't you laugh if you were told the real meanings.
Prexy Norwood in his opening ad- dress stated that in times like these it is not uncommon to be paying more for less. And I immediately thought of Nick's. Either Nick is snubbing me or he doesn't read this stuff. However, one gag we can use, as suggested by an intelligent co-ed, is this: send a kid into the joint with a dime and have him bring out two ice fcream cones. This is no solution to the pro- blem. Therefore, I would suggest that someone with authority speak to Nick and if no satisfaction is obtained, then notify the OPA. This is a harsh meas*
ure but they tell me this is war.
Speaking of the war, we just sent Boogey Boy Berger off to the wars last week. But Billie and I aren't worried because he's in the capable hands of Roger Corsaw and Milt Tuttle.

One View
By Alvin Glaser
A great many students have asked me what my object or objects are in writing this column. It seems to me that this question should be answered to the whole student body, not only to those who have asked me.
My answer is that this column haa a twofold purpose. My first aim is to make the student think and realize what a few of the world problems are, so that he will be better prepared to solve them when victory and peace are finally ours. The second is to give, rather briefly, my opinion on how these problems can best be solved »o as to insure a true and lasting peace for the entire world.
I believe the second object to be self- explanatory and in the remainder of this article I shall try to more com- pletely explain my first aim.
The Importance of Youth The war that is being fought throughout the world, tomorrow must also be fought for by youth. ,
Since the cause of the United Na- tions is the cause of youth itself, we, the youth of the world, must accept the responsibility of wjorld cooperation af- ter the military victory. We must ful- fill the ideals which the last gener- ation failed to preserve in the years following the first World War. We, the young men and women, must be- come a vital force in the necessary- molding of a new world. We are the most important factor and faction in the formation and making of tomor- row's peace and, thus, we must have a complete knowledge of the problems of the world. It is to us that the world is turning to outline the future in terms of global thinking, global action, and global living.
We can not and must not fail the world or ourselves. W© can not and must not ask the future generations to face the same problems, to make the same sacrifices, and to go thru more wars, as we are doing today.
There is but one answer to this problem—we, the youth of the world, must not only make ourselves aware
•f the troublesome questions that will arise after the war, but we must also start preparing an answer so that these questions will not again rise up to plague the future generations.
Youth's Program
It is my belief that youth can find the answer to the world problems if they follow a concerted and united program. We must transgress nation- al boundries and the comradeship thus gained will bring the necessary strength to build a new world.
I have formulated such a program which I believe can readily be followed by the youth of the world and thru which the answers to the world prob- lems can be found. The program as I have formulated it, is as follows":
l.We must study all the different ideas and proposals that have been, are being and will be put forth.
2. From these proposals we must segregate the good points from the bad points and then tak©
these good points and use them in our own plans.
3. We must formulate our own plans and unite behind them.
Then, through every possible means, see that they reach the public.
4.After the public has accepted our plan, as I am sure that it will, we must see that it is put into re- ality as we want it. We must not
•allow it to be modified or changed so as to have the original ideas and meaning completely lost.
I have stated above that I am quite positive that the public will agree with our plan, and I am. It ia an ac- cepted fact that the public will agree to any plan if it is proven to be good and worthwhile. We can prove that it is. good and worthwhile by reasoning, by our sincerity in advocating the plan, and by the mere fact that so many of the peoples of the earth favor such a plan.
To establish a successful world order will require much study as to struc- ture and authority, and much educa- tion and training of persons and states Who are to accept it. This is the program of youth.

Songs The Soldiers Sing
During the past week two soldiers of Bartlett wrote the lyrics to a song that gave their sentiments concerning the trouble that most everyone is ex- periencing with physics. To save the men from the wrath of the physics the names of the composers will not be disclosed.
The song is sung to the tune of,
"Fve Got Sixpence."
PHYSICS I've got physics,
Dreary, dreary physics, I've got physics,
To bore me all day long.
I've got physics that's new, Many problems to do, Equations that always come out
wrong.
I'm, the saddest guy on earth, believe me,
For the infantry is waiting to recieve me,
As we go cramming, cramming on.
Cramming on, until dawn, cramming on, until dawn,
By the light of the silvery moon.
Happy is the day, When we can get away,
From all this foolish cramming on.
••"Editor's note: I think that every- one will agree that very few people want any ASTP Unit to leave even with the cramming.

Laments Of A Rookie
I am one of the fellows who made the world safe for democracy. What a crazy thing that was. I fought and I fought, but I had to go anyway. I was called in class "A". Next time I want to be in class "B" be here when they go and be here when they return.
I remember when I registered... .1 went up to a desk and the man in charge was a milkman. He said,
"What's your name?" I said, "You know my name." He said, "Are you an alien?" I said, "No, I feel fine." He asked me where I was born and I said, "Pittsburgh." He asked me when I first saw the light of day and I said,
"When we moved to Philadelphia."
He said, "The first of September you'll be in France and that'll be the last of August."
The day I went to camp I guess they didn't think I'd live long. The first fellow I saw wrote on my card, "Fly- ing Corps." I went a little further and some fellow said, "Look what the wind's blowing in." I said, "Wind no- thing, the draft's doing it."
Three days later we sailed for France. Marching down the pier I had more luck. I had a sergeant who stuttered and it took him so long to say "Halt" that twenty-seven of us marched overboard. They pulled us out and lined us up on the pier. The Captain rushed up and said, "Fall in,"
I said, "I have been in, Sir." I was on the boat twelve days. Nothing go- ing down and everything coming up.
And talk about dumb people.... I said to one of the fellows, "Guess we dropped the anchor." He said "I knew we'd lose it. It's been hanging out since we left New York."
Well, we landed in France and were immediately sent to the trenches. Af- ter three nights, the cannons started to roar and the shells to pass....I was shaking with Patriotism. I tried to hide behind a tree, but there weren't enough trees for the officers. The Captain came around and said, "At five o'clock we go over the top." 1 said, "Captain, I'd like to have a fur- lough." The Captain said, "Have you no red blood in you?" I replied, "Yes, but I don't want to see it." At five o'clock we went over the top. Ten thousand Austrians came at us. The way they looked at me, you'd think I was the one who started the war.
Our Captain yelled, "Fire at will." I didn't know their names; I guess the fellow behind me thought I was Will.
He fired his gun and shot me in the excitement.

Sephton Family Gives "All" To' War Effort
One family that is giving its "all"
to the war effort, both on the home and battle fronts is that of George F.
Sephton of Patchogue, L. I. Of his family of six, four are in the armed services; three of the latter have had connections with Alfred University.
Lieut. Howard I. Sephton, eldest son, enlisted in the Naval Reserve shortly after he received a B. S. degree in ceramic engineering from Alfred in
"38. Howard was first stationed on the west coast, and then assigned to duty at Honolulu early in '41. A cam- era officer of the Pacific Fleet, he was on the U. S. S. West Virginia when it was sunk by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor. Lieut. Sephton, a member of Theta Kappa Nu, married Alice Mat- son '37, Sigma Chi, who lives with her husband and their six month old daughter in Honolulu. Mrs. Sephton was a government worker in Hawaii.
Second son of the Sephton family is Albert 27, who is a first sergeant in the Army, and stationed at a camp in Michigan where he serves as a mili- tary policeman and an escort guard.
Warren 23, came as a student to Alfred in September '39 to prepare for teaching. He enlisted in the Army Air Force last year and is now a cadet at a training field in Florida. He is a member of Delta Sig.
Youngest son, George F. Jr., 22, is on duty in the Atlantic as a seaman, second class, of the Coast Guard. He registered to enter Alfred in Septem- ber '41 but joined the service instead.
Mr. Sephton is an engineman on the Long Island; Railroad and has been em- ployed in such capacity for the last nineteen years. During the last war he was a fireman who stoked engines that were used for the hauling of men and vital war equipment. The present emergency finds him still engaged in this vital industry on his regular run between Babylon and Patchogue, L. I.
Mrs. Magdalen M. Sephton, wife of engineman Sephton and mother of four sons who are serving their coun- try, does her part. In addition to keeping house and corresponding with her sons, she devotes twelve hours a week of her time as an aircraft spot- ter. l
As contenders' for the honor of 100 per cent participation in the war pro- gram, the Sephtons certainly deserve the admiration of Alfred, as well as the whole country.

Ray Sweetman Addresses ACF
Mr. Ray Sweetman, Executive Sec- retary of Student Christian Movement in New York State, spoke at the ACF last Sunday afternoon at Social Hall.
Mr. Sweetman impressed upon his audience the importance of the bene- fits of student Christian Organiza- tions, especially in the lives of stu- dents after graduation. He main- tained that behind every philanthropic movement and institution there is a committee of citizens, and these peo- ple probably gained many of their ideas and ideals from Christian asso- ciations during their college lives.
Mr. Sweetman also stressed the im- portance of worship in the life of a good Christian, and the fact that col- lege students should absorb more learning, more ideas, and more and better ideals so that they may share their acomplishments with those less fortunate.
Mr. Sweetman also discussed the conferences sponsored by the various associations in the country, and he gave a list of books on Christian ethics that would be worthwhile reading.
At the morning service of the Union University Church, Mr. Sweetman spoke on "Faith, Hope, and Work,"
emphasizing the importance of faith and hope, and their relation to benefi- cial and good work.

Entertains Dancers Last Saturday Night
"Oh! De woman mean yes, when de women say no." Thus sang the recent Variety Show entertainer, Jul- ian Lee Rayford, from Mobile, Ala- bama, special student in the College of Ceramics and faculty member. He is the author of a novel "Cottenmouth"
about a southern boy. It received fav- orable reviews such as the one from the Philadelphia Enquirer: "It is be- yond that the story of Mobile in which the boy lived, pictured with the com- pleteness that no city in America has received at the hands of a novelist."
Rayford made sculptures for the U. S. Treasury for 3 years in Washing- ton D. C. His poems have been pub- lished in ESQUIRE, SCRIBNERS, THE AMERICAN MAGAZINE, MER- CURY and other magazines. He has recited original poems, chants, folk songs and folk stories at N. Y. U., C. C. N. Y., Duke, Stephens, and Rol- lins College to mention but a few.
He has lived in almost every impor- tant city in the U. S., and is a student of American folklore. He has tramped over the entire gold rush district of California tracking down the orig- inal sources of Mark Twain's story
"The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Cal- averas County."

Off The Wires
COLLEGE PARK, MD. (ACP) —
"Apple pie is what I need," cried the service men over seas. So the govern- ment decided to do its best to give them their morale-boosting apple pie and carrots and sweet potatoes to cut down on night blindness.
The task finally wound up in the hands of the University of Maryland horticulture and agricultural engineer- ing departments, who have worked in cooperation with the government and food packers to develop an efficient system of food preservation. They finally solved the problem of shipping to both hot and cold climates by work- ing out an approved set of dehydra- ting equipment which will efficiently dehydrate food.
Proving that scientists look after as many of the service men's' tastes as possible as well as their needs, is the development of the apple dehydra- tion, which according to some experi- menting home ec students is excellent.
These students went ahead and mad©
some apple pies with the researchers' product.

First Assembly Held According To Tradition
True to Alfred tradition, Pres.
J. Nelson Norwood addressed the student body at the first assembly- last Thursday evening in Alumni Hall.
Pres. Norwood advised the students to prepare themselves to be leaders, and to watch themselves grow in the qualities of honor, sympathy, skills, integrety, wisdom, and a certain type of balance, the characteristics of a leader.
"Far more it is what you are than what you do that makes you a leader,"
remarked Pres. Norwood. "You can start right at home, on the campus, in your houses. All have leadership—
but more, richer, deeper, better if we plan and work for it."
Discussing his challange—Aim for Leadership—he advised students to broader sympathies, and deeper in- sights. "But there will be some fun, too", Pres. Norwood concluded. "I can- not imagine a college body, even in these serious times, not wanting, need- ing and getting some fun.
Pres. Norwood was introduced by Dean M. Ellis Drake. The invocation was lead by Chaplain William H.
Genne\ and Dr. Ray W. Wingate led the singing of the National Anthem and the Alma Mater. Robert Meyer '44 gave announcements concerning the freshmen and sophomore elections which were held following the pro- gram. i
Assembly programs this year will be held once per month on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings, in order to take advantage of special program opportunities.
