'Two Worlds' Compared By Coast Legislator
• "WHAT'S THE USE of making a living if you don't know how to make a life?" asked Goeffrey F. Morgan, a member of the California State Legis- lature for the past four years, as he elosed his speech to the Agricultural School Assembly last Friday. In his address entitled, "Your Money or Your Life", he further stated, "We are too practical minded."
Mr. Morgan brought out that we live in two different worlds; one, a world of commerce, the other, a world of culture. There are no scales or stand- ards in the world of culture, no way of proving that Richard Crooks1 sings more beautifully than Lawrence Tib- bett or that one Bibical verse is more inspiring than another. It is the satisfaction of the soul that counts1— what it does for you that measures the value of culture.

Brown's musical education was started by his father at the age of three. He continued at the Ithaca Conservatory of Music and finally started his own band, the Duke Blue- divils, while attending Duke Univer- sity.
The success of this collegiate aggre- gation earned them radio, recording, and dance engagements. Since grad- uation in 1936, Brown and his orches- tra have been playing the big time circuit.

Saxonian Death Knell Sounded By Ex-Editor
• SPECULATION as to whether the Saxonian, campus quarterly, would be published again was definitely set- tled in the negative last week when Robert Bennett '40 announced to the Publications Committee tihat he would not undertake to revive the maga- zine.
Bennett was formerly editor of the comic and literary publication and upon his return to the University this year, it was expected that he might again edit the now-dead quarterly.
However, after consideration of the possibilities, Bennett has withdrawn from the venture and it seems doubt- ful that the Saxonian will come out again.

Wingate Finds There's No Escape From Carillon
• "NO, SIR! You can't keep me locked up very long at a time,"
declared Professor Ray W. Win- gate, head of the music depart- ment, last Tuesday.
Professor Wingate's statement was occasioned by the unusual escape which he experienced after having been incarcerated for al- most an hour in the wire enclos- ure that surrounds the Univer- sity's famous Davis Memorial Car- illon. His version of the incident follows:
About three-thirty he went up into the tower to make minor ad- justments. Having completed his
work in about forty-five minutes, he came down only to find that some uncaught prankster had firm- ly padlocked the gate.
Failing to break the lock with a small pair of pliers, he "put his pride in his pocket" and shout- ed for assistance. Two loitering students, a sophomore and a freshman, answered and began immediate steps for his release.
Pliers, files, and other tools finally brought his freedom.
"If Hallowe'en came oftener than once a year, I'd be a nervous wreck," was the professor'* part- ing comment.

Realistic neutrality
• ARMISTICE DAY 1939—and events of the day make hollow mockery of those men who gave their lives in the "war to end war" in order
"to preserve Democracy".
Twenty-one years have gone by. Just enough time to raise a new war generation. But happily for the American college student—and he is one of those who would do the fighting—
our legislators have taken a realistic, hard-head- ed attitude towards neutrality.
The embargo has been lifted on war ex- ports—but it has been placed on American ship- ping to war-torn waters. No longer can any City of Flint incident occur to arouse the Amer- ican people. For American shipping will ply safely on this side of the Atlantic.
The United States becomes a snug, busy little shop. It sends out no salesmen carrying their wares to the scene of the inferno—where they may become the cause of "an incident" to provoke American tempers and give food to the war mongers.
Customers will drive up to the shop, pur- chase their wares, pay cash on the line, and transport the ware in their own conveyors. If they are hi-jacked on the way home—that is their loss.
A callous, selfish attitude? Possibly—but results of the last war have proven that the big- hearted, altruistic Uncle Sam was taken for a sucker.
Saturday is the 21st anniversary of the Ar- mistice. Let's be more analytic, less emotional, more sceptical, less naive then we were when we entered the last war. Let's not allow "horror stories" and other such propaganda to influence our thinking. Let's be selfish—we don't want to share our American lives. We don't want to give our youth to the cause of any other na- tion. We want to stay HERE—and stay whole.
# # # # #
Collaboration for peace
• IN THE MAILBAG just before Armistice Day comes various calls for united student peace action. This year, the United Student Peace Committee, representing such college organiza- tions as the National Student Federation of America, the National Intercollegiate Christian Council, and the American Student Union call for a peace mobilization on Friday.
In the past, peace demonstrations have been held at Alfred. However, no existing organiza- tion on the campus, with the possible exception of the Christian clubs, seems fitted /to sponsor such a move. There is no peace organization and no longer a chapter of the American Stu- dent Federation, although Senate representatives did take part in the N. S. F. A. conference at UnionCollege last spring.
But, still another request for cooperation was found in the FIAT LUX mailbag. It comes from Burnett F. Anderson, editor of THE CAM- PUS of the University of Rochester. It calls for formation of The Union of Collegiate News- papers For American Peace. And it calls for simultaneous pre-Armistice Day publication of a syndicated editorial in member papers throughout the nation.
The FIAT LUX is glad to cooperate in a peace move by college newspapers. That is—
so to speak—right up our alley. The editorial, printed in collaboration with other college papers, follows:
At a time when we are celebrating the twenty-first anniversary of the end of an un- successful war to end war, it is fitting that we, The Fiat Lux, join with the Union of Collegiate Newspapers for American Peace in declaring ourselves.
The Fiat Lux wishes no part of second economic breakdown or mental disillusionment, from which we are just beginning to recover, such as followed the last war. We have no place in the present European struggle. We cannot morally condone an action which would take perhaps our own lives and certainly the lives of many of those around us.
Until The Fiat Lux and The Union of Col- legiate Newspapers for American Peace can be shown that an American war on foreign soil will create or preserve for the World and for America more than it destroys, we will condemn all moves which may lead in the direction of American participation in such a war.
Sloppy performance
• IT WAS KINDA SLOPPY—that was the de- scription given by a sophomore student to the Freshman rendition of the Alma Mater in As- sembly Thursday. The Frosh were up on the stage at the request of the Freshman Court and sang the Alma Mater in chorus as a result of their failure in the Frosh Quiz.
It was kinda sloppy. The Frosh didn't know the verses. The rest of the Assembly stood as they sang. Laughter and ridicule pre- vailed.
Use of the Alma Mater was a mistake.
There is something about the Alma Mater which is sacred and it should not be placed in position of ridicule. Why not use "Yes, we have no bananas" next time.
College TOWN -
Duping the dollies easy—fine fish, not fresh—-woo-woo-beep gets Ray nor—Hallowe'en antics
BY THE EDITORS
• PULLING THE WOOL over the eyes of Frosh femininity seems to be a fairly easy job this year. Saturday night in front of the Post Of- fice, "Mac" McAllister and "Dodo" "Scoop"
Ungar were standing around rather aimlessly.
They should have been up at the Brick dressing for their Saturday night dates—but there they were just making idle conversation and wait- ing.
Waiting for what? Well, it was 6:45 p. m. and some obliging upperclassman had informed them that the P. O. window would open again at 7 and that
"Mac" could get her package then.
However, it was 7 a. m. that the P. O. opened again, not 7 p. m. We doubt if "Mac" and "Scoop"
waited.
• T H A T FISHY ODOR coming from the direction of Registrar Waldo A. Titsworth's back porch is just another scientific experiment conducted by the inimit- able Charles Henry Rushmore, who rooms at the Registrar's.. It seems that Charlie is so wrapped up in Prof. Burdick's comp anat course that the coming of the week-end and the closing of the lab fills him with sorrow.
Undaunted by odor, each week-end Charles Henry wraps up his shark, takes home his dissection kit, and delves deeply into the anatomical intricacies of the fish.

• IN TRUE HALLOWE'EN SPIRIT, some energetic Alfred students "did the town" last Tuesday night.
The greatest feat of the evening, however, con- cerned two innocent pigs who were made the goats of the affair. They were "borrowed" from the Ag School Farm and lodged in Theta Chi and the Brick.
At the Brick the second floor girls helped the fellows get the pig in through the third floor window. At Theta Chi, the pig was accompanied by a load of Hydrogen Sulfide gas, which did more harm than the animal.

• "WOO-WOO-BEEP!" said the dragon, as Lou Ray- nor tried desperately to focus his right eye with his left. Time: the night before the morning after; set- ting, Lou's room.
He had been working on a very troublesome sea- scape most of the fall, and in a fit of utter discourage- ment had blotted out the water with flat white paint, leaving some boats and a harbor in the background.
When the boys left to enjoy themselves on the fatal night, Lou's unfinished masterpiece lay on his desk—
and the white expanse was perfectly blank.. Later, much later, the boys came back—quite jolly and step- ping very high. Lou's eye fell on his canvas; he closed his eyes tight and looked again—then he howl- ed for the gang.
"Lookit," bleated Lou, "lookit that dragon! Tell me therelS a dragon there—it's a sea serpent, that's what, an dit says 'Woo-Woo-beep' underneath it. I what, and it says 'Woo-Woo-beep' underneath it. I The boys assured him he'd be O. K. in the morn- ing, and—still under protest as to the validity of the dragon—Lou was finally established in bed. Next morning, before anybody else was up, he ran to take a look at the picture.. The white was a perfect blank.
"The dragon, maytye," thinks Lou, "I could have imagined—but never in my wildest dreams would I think up 'Woo-woo-beep'!". So with his trusty palette knife, he dug off a layer or two of paint and uncovered, to his great relief, the faint outline of his tormentor.
With a new lease on life' and sanity, Lou repainted the canvas and faced life with peace of mind.
First big snowfall
Finds frosh in shorts; surprises Alfredians from warmer
climates
SOCIAL NOTES
• ALFRED'S YOUNG BLIZZARD, exciting enough in itself, inspired a still more thrilling sight on the Brick lawn Sunday afternoon.
Dressed more for a May Day cele- bration tnan a snow fight, six hardy frosh-'-all of Burdick H a l l - appeared for a battle royal clad only in shorts and shoes, the form- er ranging in color from dead white to yellow, blue, green, and brown combinations. The war lasted for perhaps fifteen or twenty minutes, during which time a pair of villians complicated the festivi- ties still more.
Leaving their outer and more seasonable clothes outside the bat- tle lines, Frank Heasley, Larry Bickford, Russ Stein, John Young, Bill Hurley, and Warren Sepbton amoused themselves with such con- centration that they didn't see Bert Rosenson, backed closely by Mario Carota, sneak up on the merry game. These two bundled secure- ly and sensibly, stole the heap of clothes and distributed it through-
out the Brick. After getting most of the clothes back, they retired from the scene with even more speed than they came.
The class of '43 was not alone in its enthusiasm. Dr. Ben Cran- dall, vocational advisor, was see- ing his first snow in twenty-five years. He got his last look at it back in Idaho, and hadn't seen any since except on mountain peaks in California from a distance of sixty miles. It looked pretty good, ap- parently. With a note of wistful- ness, he remarked, "Kinda reminds me of my boyhood * * *"
Garrison Smith, transfer sopho- more from Texas, said he'd seen snow down there but never so much at once, and had to admit be was pretty much impressed. Ruth Rogers '43,' from Florida, hadn't ever seen snow before in her life and was very much disappointed because it came down in little flakes instead of great big gobs.
During our first flurry it took sev- eral sophs to reconcil her to the disillusionment.
Prexy Drohan Slaps Senate For Newman Grant Refusal
To the editor:
Since the opportunity presents itself, as President of the Newman Club I would ike to clarify certain views in respect to that organiz- ation, show that it is an extra- curricular activity for Catholic stu- dents, and that its petition for financial assistance from the Stu- dent Senate should have been granted
Last week the Senate refused the request of the Newman Club on the grounds that it was a national sectarian organization and not open to the student body as a whole.
I have been told that refusal was based on that statement, and that statement, alone. Technically, they are wrong. The Newman Club is an international sectarian organiz- ation.
Its particular requisites are:
1. That the Club be formed at a school which does not come under Catholic jurisdiction.
2. That such a group be open1 to all Catholic students attending the school.
3. That the purpose of the group shall be for the religious, in- tellectual, and social betterment of the Catholic students in the school.
Any group which fulfills these re- quirements is to all intents and purposes a Newman Club.
In short, participation in the Newman Club is a definite and in- tegral part of extracurricular ac- tivity for Catholic students attend- ing Alfred University—since it ful- fills each of the mentioned require- ments.
Furthermore, the administration has recognized the Newman Club.
Its social events come under the jurisdiction of the Student Life Committee, its books are under the supervision of the University auditors, and recently the Senate
asked the Newman Club to vote on the Union band contract issue.
Why did the present Senate re- verse the decision of the Senate of 1937-38 which saw fit to appropriate funds to the Newman Club?
Neither the Senate nor the New- man Club has changed its character since that time.
I have been told that little dis- cussion was hed on the Newman Club petition and that its petition was dismissed with ease because of the national sectarian nature of the
organization.
Thus, when the Senate refuses to grant the petition of 150 students, approximately one-sixth of the stu- dent body grouped together in an organization which the Senate it- self has recognized as an organiz- ation; and when that club asks for financial assistance in order to bring speakers and literature to the campus and which will be available to the entire student body—then, one cannot help but accuse the Stu- dent Senate of being ignorant of the Newman Club and its purposes
—or else, just indifferent.
True, there was no one at the Senate meeting capable of present- ing an accurate picture of the Nw- man Olub position. However, this does not vindicate the Senate. If the Senate were lacking in infor- mation, they should have sought out that information and not have acted on what they THOUGHT the Newman Club to be
The Newman Club does not be- lieve that it has been intentionally overlooked. However, we have naid our campus tax and feel that we should get some return' for our money. Therefore, I am asking the Senate to reconsider its action.

Shy swains aided by date bureau
To the Editor:
In response to recent requests for information, the following may help. t
The Date Bureau is slowly but surely making the co-ed date con- scious. No more do the lonely and the shy lack the courage to ap- proach one of the bureau represent- atives and ask for an escort to fill that vacant evening. This was the most difficult objection we had to overcome. Our service is appre- ciated as is shown by the numerous requests' we have had for dates.
We don't expect to exist forever;
the time will come when the camp- us students will know everyone else in the different schools of edu- cation. Our services- will then be over; dates will be made without the Date Bureau acting as Hosts and Hostesses; the organization will then be bequeathed to the in- coming freshmen of the years to come.
Right now we are concentrating on pairing off partners for the An- nual Harvest Dance to be held on Nov. 17. Begin to make your dates now, ask your representative to introduce you to the fellow or girl you'd like to take.
Irving Sattell Chairman
Parker lauds clean play in soccer game
To the Editor:
I wish to congratulate the Fresh- men on winning the Frosh-Soph soccer game and also the small group of Sophomores who fought for their class and did a mighty good job.
Those who were present at the game saw sportsmanship in the true sense of the word as these two classes fought hard for victory.
Although class rivalry predominat- ed throughout the whole contest, not once did I see any deliberate dirty playing. Saturday's soccer game showed that we have a Fresh- man and Sophomore class to be proud of.
I thank Professor Myrvaagnes for officiating and also Bob Ayres and Dan Freed.

History-Making Era At End, Twelve Hand In Suits; Drop Finale
Larries Make Jinx Stick, Win By Field Goal
• MOLESKINS will be put back in the mothballs this week. Sta- tisticians will start the task of compiling the season's records and twelve senior Saxon gridmen will begin reminiscing over the his- tory-making four years of their grid warfare here, following; Al- fred's return Sunday from Can- ton, N. Y., where Saturday they closed their 1939 grid season with a heart-breaking 3-0 defeat suf- fered at the hands of the Old Jinx-boys from North Country,
St. Lawrence University.
Alfred's fourth defeat in three years and their second this season, the Lar- rie game was a tough one to take, especially since the game was the last for so many of tiic .ti-ys.
On paper, the game was all-Alfred.
Yardage totals were lopsided, 327 for Alfred to 265 for the Red, while first downs gave Alfred over twice the Larry total, 17 to 8.
The Saxons outrushed, outpassed and out-first downed the Northmen, but all scoring was staved off until the final period when Bob Kunz, sub- back, was pushed in the game for St.
Lawrence and neatly planted a place- ment through the cross-bars from the 17 yard line. The placement was the first one ever completed against the Saxons in their three years of varsity competition.
The Saxons saw bad breaks pop their own rosy hopes and chances for a score, early in the game, when they drove down from their own 19 yard line to the Larry 5 in three first downs, only to have Walter (Bo) Johnson fumble the ball when he was hit hard on the 5.
That drive came close on the heels of their initial down-field march which took them from their 25 to the Larry 30, only to lose the ball on downs.
All told, they threatened the Larry paystripe seven times throughout the long, sun-shiny afternoon, but every time they were thwarted by one means or another.
The Larrys were on the defensive

for the major part of the afternoon, failing to make but four first downs in the first half while the victory- bent Saxons piled up 13.
In the dying minutes of the game, the 3 point edge staring them in the face, the Saxons started another des'perate, goalward drive, only to have the bright, setting sun flash in potential pass receivers' eyes work against them.
Taking the Larry kickoff on the 32, they worked down field to the Larry 30 in 8 plays, only to lose the ball when the aerial attack failed by inches.
The Saxon aerial attack was good, though, throughout the afternoon, passers Johnson and Larry Bizet con- necting on 14 out of 30 heaves. The Larries intercepted but two of the Saxon heaves, while connecting on two out of seven themselves.
Finale for twelve of the Saxons was the game. Through with inter- collegiate football is the entire first- string line, two subs and three backs, including Dick Brownell, Phil Green- man and Les Doy, ends; Butch Esch- bach, Bill Riley, tackles; Harold Rouff, Dick Callista, and Angelo Bos- Larry Bizet, back; Sam Fossaceca, co, guards; Snuffy Bdleson, center;
back; and Ted Ienczewski, back.
Frank (Duke) Dutkowski proved to be Alfred's big ground-gainer as he carried the ball fifteen times for 70 yards. Johnson was next in line, with 57 yards in 14 trips. Bizet took the ball nine times, piled up 31 yards.
The Duke was stopped by the Lar- ries for no gain but twice, late in the game. Johnson was stopped but once.
Dutkowski's run of 26 yards in the first half proved to be the longest run of the game. i
Laterals were an effective weapon employed by the Larries in their of- fensive. Several times the Big Red unleased the hipper-dipper attack, had the Saxons befuddled for a short while. It was by this means that they made their most effective gains.
Interceptions proved to be costly for both sides. Once in the second period Lozoski, Larry back, took one of Johnson's heaves on the 25, smash- ed a goal thrust. A few plays later,

New Coach Begins
Hoop
Sessions
By Al Friedlander
• NEWLY APPOINTED varsity basketball coach Dan Minnick took over the reins of the Alfred basketeers Friday afternoon at the gymnasium, as some 18 can- didates answered his call for pre- liminary practice.
"Fundamentals will be stressed in an effort to get a smooth working outfit" the new coach said. "Past performances will mean but little—
I'm going to put a hard working and fighting team on the floor this year"
he added.
Minnick, Frosh mentor for the past few years has had exceptional suc- cess with his squads. He has always managed to put a speedy, clever five on the court, and his teams have al- ways handled their commitments with better than average results.
Basketball Fortunes Low
The Saxon varsity basketball for- tunes have been on the decline since the year of the fine 1936-37 quintet which scored notable victories over such powerful teams at Ithaca, Ni- agara and St. Bonaventure. This year with Ray Buckley, Dighton Polan and Bobby Glynn all lost from last year's starting five, and with little aid from the Frosh and Junior Var- sity, Coach Minnick is none too eager to predict a reversal of Alfred's poor basketball form.
Bill Riley, tackle, retaliated by tak- ing Goodrich's heave on the 30 to put a monkey wrench in a Larry drive.
Alfred 0 0 0 0—0 St. Lawrence 0 0 0 3—3 Scoring— St. Lawrence. Kunz, field goal.

Olympic Marks No Obstacle to Saxons;
Smash Canadian's
• ALONG WITH WINNING the Toronto meet, the Alfred harriers also smashed the old course record held by a former Olympic runner.
The course record was set in 1928 by Bill Kibblewhite, who rep- resented Canada in the Olympic three-mile run of the same year.
His time for the carefully measured course of five miles and 100 feet was 28:35. Tuttle, Ren- dell and Gamble, tieing for first place, set a new course record of 28:08.2 Burgess, Hall and Nordquist also ran under the former record time.
The Olympian, holder of numer- ous records, also holds the record for one mile on snow-shoes made in Winnipeg.
• ELBERT F. CORWIN of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has invented a new device to aid airplane safety. It determines the "up and down" winds high in the skies.
Those reporting for initial practice were, Bob Humphrey, Russ Pardee, Bob Whitwood, Mitch Corbman, Jim Hollingsworth, Mario Carota, Lloyd Mason, Charlie Munger, Arch Camer- on, Lou Shayler, Bruce McGill, Jim Scholes, Ralph Rhodes, Lee Hoitink Walter Dlugozima, Grant Tucker.
Ray Smith, and Art Cohen.
Many Saxon coursters have just finished the football season. They will have one week of complete rest before Coach Minnick will call them
The opening of the season will take place here at Alfred on December 2, against Hartwick College.

PerfectScore Win Chalked Up by Dalers
Over U of T
• REGISTERING their second
"perfect score" win and third consecutive victory of the season, the Alfred harriers came one step closer to an undefeated season Saturday afternoon, as they swamped Toronto University 15- 40, over the losers five mile course.
Seven Saxons crossed the tape be- fore the first Canadian.
For the. first three miles of the race all nine Alfred runners ran side by side, one hundred yards in front of the nearest Torontonian. As the squad reached the dirt stretch of the course, the field began to spread out. Milt Tuttle took the lead closely followed by Brad Rendell and Willie Gamble.
Following these three, running in single file were Lagasse, Nordquist, Burgess, Hall, Morely and Dauen- hauer.
Trio Ties
The trio of Tuttle, Rendell and Gamble finished in a tie for first place.
Gene Burgess, Ira Hall, Dave Nord- quist and Ed Lagasse took the next four places respectively. Hoag of Toronto repeated last year's perform- ance as he took eighth place again, the only Blue and White to finish in the fiyst ten runners.

'Caps Off Frosh Cry After Win
• "OFF WITH THE CAPS" is the cry of the Frosh this week as a result of their 2-1 victory over the Sophomores in a close over- time soccer game played Saturday morning on muddy Merril Feld.
The contest, sponsored annually by the Student Senate and Blue Key, de- termines Whether the Frosh may dis- card their green caps or whether they must wear them until Thanksgiving.
In a 90 minute struggle, in which two overtime periods were played, the Freshmen beat the Sophomores 2-1. The Sophomores under co-cap- tains "Ed" Zybillo and "Stan" Lang- worthy scored the first goal in the be- ginning of the game on a kick by Lou Tomassettl. During the last few minutes of play, the Freshmen led by Captain "Dick" Lowe scored on Dave Broudo's thrust. This resulted in a tie which necessitated the playing of two 5 minute overtime periods. With only a couple of minutes left in the second overtime period, Lennie Reis- man kicked a goal on a penalty kick for the Frosh thus becoming the hero of the game.
Carillon to Take Part in Peace Prograjtn
• A SPECIAL CARILLON program, dedicated to Peace and presented simultaneously on carilons, church bells, and chimes throughout the na- tion, will be given Saturday morning by Carilloneur Ray W. Wingate im- mediately after the Armistice Day si- lence at 11 a. m.
Kamiel Lefevere, carillonneur at the Riverside Church, New York City, and president of the North American Guild of Carillonneurs, is sponsoring the plan hoping to get cooperation of all carillons, church bells and chimes of America in ringing at that time. He writes:
"Of course I know that we may have the full support of the Alfred Carillon, because your carillon really should lead all other carillons-, through its historical value, in this mighty chorus for peace and for the preserva- tion of the nine Hemony bells (now buried in the war zone of Europe for safe keeping), which, I pray, we may welcome to Alfred with a rightful cele- bration."

Fencing Team May Enter Intercollegiate Competition
#AN ORGANIZED fencing team will represent Alfred In intercollegiate competition for the first time in his- tory, if present plans materialize.
Coach H. G. Schurecht is arranging dual meets with various teams in Western New York.
With last year's veterans as nuc- leus, Coach Schurecht, former No. 1 man on the Illinois University team, has formed a team which will make its first showing against Buffalo in the near future.
Last week's call for candidates was answered by a large, ambitious group of future D'Artagnans. The large turnout will give Coach Schurecht an
| opportunity to develop new material to strengthen his first team. Captain Milton Vainder '42, Marv Koner '41, Walt Spaeth '41 and Al Austin '42, last year's veterans form the nucleus of the squad.
Backed financially by the Student Senate, the fencing squad hopes to develop and function as any other athletic group on the campus. The new candidates for the squad are Frank Costello, Bob Burdick, Dave Dickinson, Ken Elston, Huber Wat- son, George Smith, John Salese, Charles Lindstrom, Harold Fink, George Harrower, Dave Taylor, George Ward, Graham Harrower and Norm Robbins.
Twenty-Five Ags Report to Buckley
• COACH RAY BUCKLEY was greet- ed by 25 candidates at the first Ag- gie basketball practice held Friday evening at the Alfred High School gym. After a brief talk, the squad was run through fundamental passing and dribbling drills.
Last year's veterans John Quaran- tiello, Floyd Erhard and Herb Beyea will form the nucleous of the current team. These three sparked last year's basketeers to fifteen wins in seven- teen starts. The remainder of the squad is big and shows great promise.
As The "Fiat goes to press, a sched- ule of games to be played this sea- son has not been released.
America has highly approved the plan and is offering full support and cor- dial cooperation, says Mr. Lefevere.
The inscriptions on some of the bella of the Davis Memorial Carillon are especially appropriate for such an occasion as the one contemplated;
from the nature of their messages they are eminently peace quotations.
They are as follows as translated from the Latin by Dr. G. Stewart Nease of the Department of Classical Lang- uages : '
"Praise the Lord all ye nations.
Praise Him all ye peoples,"
"Make a joyful noise unto the Lord all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness."
"Sing unto the Lord a new song;
praise be his in the congregation of saints."
• THE TEMPLE UNIVERSITY school of medicine had 2,000 applications for 110 vacancies in its freshman class.
Ag Dalers to Run In Five-Way Meet
©ALFRED'S AGGIE HARRIERS will compete against the best Aggie cross- country squads in New York State, Saturday afternoon when they run in a pentaganal meet at Morrisville, N. Y. The entire team will make the trip to face squads from Can,ton, Del- hi, Morrisville and Cobleskill. The race will be over a 2.5 mile course.
The keenest competition is expect- ed from the Canton team who bowed to the Purple and Gold two weeks ago by the narrow margin of one point, 27-28. The other entrants have powerful teams and can be counted upon to make the race a hotly con- tested one.
Coach H. E. Harrison will send his undefeated team into the fray at their top strength. Captain Beyea, Kane, Cronyn, Nestle, Coleman, Vitello and Ruhlen will be striving to continue their winning streak. Guilford who was forced out of last week's race after he pulled a ligament has the only injury on the squad.
I Fiat To Get Phone, New Typewriters
• SANCTION Qf The Fiat Lux plan' to install typewriters and a telephone in the Burdick Hall Publications Of- fice was obtained from the Publica- tions Committee at its first meeting of the year, Tuesday.
Editor-in-Chief Raymond Zurer '40 presented the request to the Commit- tee, which includes Dean A. E. Whit- ford, chairman; Dean M. E. Holmes, Dean M. E. Drake, Dean Dora Degen, Chaplain J. C. McLeod and Professors Marion Fosdick, W. M. Burditt and L.
R. Polan.
The Fiat Lux will pay for the im- provements and will hold all staff work sessions in the Burdick Hall of- fice. It is expected that the improve- ments will aid in correcting much of the proof errors which have resulted partially from the use of the crowded Sun Office by The Fiat Lux staff.
Also present at the meeting were
! Frank Arrance '40, representing The Alfred Engineer, William Drohan '40 j of The Fiat Lux, and Robert Bennett j , '40, former editor of the Saxonian.

Deparment
• 2100 NEWS STORIES left the Alfred University campus for various daily and weekly news- papers in New York state in the scholastic year of 1938-1939. Over 1200 stories were sent from the Publicity Office, and 900 were sent from A. B. Crofoot's office in the English Department.
Material was furnished to Miss Bea- trice Plumb, authoress of "A Brother- hood of Bells," for two articles, by the Publicity department. Alfred pictures were published in four different Sun- day Rotagravure sections— Elmira, Syracuse twice, and Rochester.
Various newspapers used practically all of the 500 photographs submitted by the Publicity department. In March, 1939,, Professor Crofoot stated that he had sent out 250 stories of in- dividual students. The special events of honor grades, sorority pledging, and St. Pat's Festival made this!
