Alfred Ahead Of Nation In Backing President's Food Conservation Plea

"Alfred Plan" Receives Support From Student Residents And Townspeople And Gets Considerable Local Publicity

i

A preliminary census of response on campus and in the village shows that Alfred is far ahead of the nation in carrying out Presi- dent Truman's Food Conservation program. Reports from some newspapers over the weekend indicate that—unlike Alfred—whole- hearted response in many areas is not forthcoming.

On the other hand, strong appeals •

Cornell To Play Host To Oct. 24 Youth Meeting

are constantly being made by the President and grain markets are re- quiring a larger margin, creating the impression that any reluctance to get in line is only temporary.

Locally, Alfred has received considerable publicity for its wholeheart- ed acceptance of the responsibility.

From the initial mention of the plan at a hastily scheduled meeting a week ago Monday evening, the majority of the campus and most of the village have been behind what is known as

"The Alfred Plan."

On the next evening, nearly all students voted through their representatives in the Student Senate meeting to eliminate meat from their tables on Tuesdays, poultry and eggs on Thursdays and to save a slice of bread a day. Specifically involved were the two University-operated dining Aialls, four fraternities and all soror- ities. One fraternity said they would donate any saving made to some worthwhile charity.

Senate President Kenneth G. Goss '48, said that all restaurants were willing to cooperate, but they in turn asked that their patrons accept bread crusts occasionally. "One pointed out that it was not unusual to throw away several loaves of bread crusts alone after a day's business," Goss said-

Village Mayor William B. Harrison Sr. put his stamp of approval on the Alfred Plan as well as Chaplin Myron K. Sibley.

President J. E. Walters gave ready endorsement to the plan, when first approached Tuesday and said, "I am happy that students of the University are sharing the responsibility of the country's worldwide problems." He went on to say that a letter would be sent out as soon as possible to all faculty and to student representatives asking for their cooperation.

Probably much credit goes to In- gram Paperny, who was chairman of the first meeting and who led in draw- ing up the following resolutions:

1. To abstain from eating meat on Tuesdays and eggs and poultry on Thursdays.

2. To cut waste to a minimum.

3. To eat one. slice of bread less per day.

4. To eat • those foods in plentiful supply according to the suggestions of the President's Food Committee.

Institute Receives State Appropriation For Books

Miss Shirley Wurt, Ag-Tech librar- ian, has announced that $4,000 has been appropriated by the State for books in the Ag-Tech library. A large portion of the appropriated funds will be used for technical books which will pertain to subjects taught in the In- stitute. The books will be available to any student of the Institute and maybe kept out for a two week period.

Students interested in attending the Fall All-State conference of the Stu- dents' Christian Movement Oct. 24-26 at Cornell University are asked to fill out registration blanks to be found tomorrow at Bartlett, Brick and the Campus Union.

Frank Lobaugh, RFA conference chairman, said all colleges and uni- versities in the State are expected to be represented at the conference, theme of which is '"How the Bible is applied to an individual's everyday life."

"Freshmen will be permitted to attend the All-State conference, Lobaugh said, "even though none is going to the freshman conference at Utica on Homecoming Weekend." He added that an orientation meeting for freshmen and others interested will be held at 7:30 p.m. Sunday in Social Hall.

Expenses include a $3 registration fee which will include room accomo- dations. The conference committee estimate's that other expenses will amount to $5. Transportation will be provided, but any student who has a car or who is able to take a load is asked to give their, name to the committee.

Joan Baird '48, is vice chairman of the conference. Dr. James Mulenberg of Union Theological Seminary, will deliver the opening address at 7 p.m., October 24. Other guest speakers will be Miss Gerd Arnborg of Norway and Bishop Stephen F. Baynes Jr. of Se- attle.

Attention: SPCA

Anglers of future generations who use the roaring Kanakadea in pursu- ing their sport will be grateful to a member of the Class of '50 who risked life and limb for the sake of several small fish seeking escape, Wednesday night, when Prexy's Pool was being drained. Don Miller succeeded in scooping up the slippery fish all right and in transporting them to the cur- rently becalmed Kanakadea. On his last trip up the embankment, however, Don missed his footing and plummeted into the creekbed. Damage: one pair of wet shoes, one pair of wet socks.

Service Fraternity Plans Homecoming Football Game Rally

A pep rally for the Alfred-Buffalo Homecoming Game will be at 7 p.m.

Friday on the campus, probably on the southwest corner of Main and Univer- sity Streets. Sponsored by Blue Key, the event probably will include the band, cheerleaders, members of the football squad as well as as big a bon- fire as the freshmen can build.

Frosh Court offenders will 'be charged with the duty of collecting wood for the fire. Probably other members of the Class of '51 will as- sist them.

Named to the committee for the Blue Key Homecoming Dance which will be Saturday evening after the game was William Beazell '49, Arling Hazlett '49, and Jerome Lyons '49.

The same reasonable admission price of the other post-football game dance will be charged, the members voted.

Problem Of Missing Masterpiece Prints Solved Successfully

"Somebody got the wires crossed,"

the Fiat learned this week following the announcement last week that three of the prints of masterpiees, "Syra- cuse," "L'Attent" and '"Ballet Girls on the Stage," were missing.

Shortly after reading of the con- fusion, Russell Langworthy, Campus Union board chairman, reported to Dean Elizabeth Geen that he had re- moved the prints from the collection for use in the Union. He told the Fiat, "President Walters gave me per- mission to reserve three prints for the Campus Union."

Langworthy, however, permitted Sigma Chi, who had paid the rental fee on "Syracuse" and "Ballet Girls on the Stage," to take the two and said that two others would be supplied for the Union.

Welcome Back Alumni

Board Begins Plans For St. Pat's Dance

The ball will start rolling for Al- fred's number one social event of the year, the St. Pat's Festival, at a meeting of senior ACS members Wednes- day, following the regular meeting, according to Alfred Cooper, ACS president.

Acording to the ACS constitution, the St. Pat's Board is composed of 14 seniors, four juniors and two ceramic artists.

Forum Program Cancels October 19 RFA Meeting

, RFA president Joan Baird '48, stated that the University Forum concert of the Rochester Civic Orchestra will be presented on Oct. 19. For this reason, no RFA meeting is scheduled for that date. Miss Baird requests that students and faculty make a men- tal note of the RFA meeting on Nov.

2. The speaker will be Miss Gerd Armborg, head of the Student Chris- tion Movement in Norway. "It prom- ises to be a most interesting program and worth the attention of all those on campus," she said.

Bartlett Dance To Use Palmer Sound System

Music for the Bartlett dance, Fri- day evening, will be by the Palmer Sound System instead of by a band composed of residents, freshman men learned at meeting Wednesday evening. A resident band is impossible because of inability to obtain musical instruments.

It was also revealed that the Bart- lett men provide ten representatives for the 15-man freshman tug-of-war team which will oppose a similar sophomore team at half-time during the homecoming football game against the University of Buffalo on Saturday.

The other five members of the freshman team will be selected from the Ag-Tech. If the freshman are vic- torious they will be able to cease wearing their green caps immediately after the conflict. If they lose, however, they will be required to wear caps another week.

During the meeting the Bartlett oc- cupants decided in favor of President Truman's food conservation program.

Brick Elects A. Goodrich As W.S.G. Representative

Audrey Goodrich '51, was elected freshman representative to the WSG at a Brick house meeting last Monday.

Voting for representatives to the Stu- dent Senate resulted in the election of Ruth Jensen '48, Marianna Spink '50, and Clare Simpson '51. The Brick dance will be held on Nov. 22 and the Brick tea on Dec. 7, it was announced.

Courtship And Marriage Course Faces Great Student Demand

"Demand has far exceeded expectations," Dr. Roland L. Warren said concerning the revised courtship and marriage course for which 92 upperclassmen registered in September.

Taught in alternating years prior to the war. interest in the subject came to a head last year when Dr. Warren spoke at an RFA forum.

Because of the interest shown and because of the more mature group of students at Alfred, the course was scheduled for this year and 40 text- books were ordered. The overwhelming number which registered includes only four married members and no freshmen.

Keynote of the course is its casual manner. Discussion is encouraged and much of the subject matter is built around questions submitted by the students at the beginning of the year. "In this way, I think we will be able to get across the points of most

interest and value to the students,"

Dr. Warren said.

A one semester course, Dr. Warren hopes to follow up with a course in the family. Courtship and marriage probably will be a prerequisite so that students who are interested but who haven't taken introductory sociology may take the course. In the follow-up course, the family will be studied as a national institution. A smaller en- rollment is expected, Dr. Warren said, but added that a smaller group would permit more discussion.

Homecoming Weekend To Offer Diverse Activities To Students And Alumni

Guests To Try For Accommodations In Nearby Communities; Football Game Saturday Night To Highlight Weekend

By Shirley Champlin

"Alumni returning for Alfred University's second post-war Homecoming Weekend will be offered a variety of activities on Sat- urday and Sunday, said W. Harold Reid, executive secretary of the Alumni Association.

Because of the acute housing problem in Alfred, the alumni have been asked to make arrangements to spend the weekend in hotels and tourist homes in Hornell, Wellsville and other nearby communities. Any students who will have visitors during the week- end are advised to find a place for them in advance.

Balance In Ag-Tech

The Ag-Tech refrigeration class has its good and bad elements this year. Two students in par- ticular help to maintain an even balance. From Forty-Fort and Wilkes-Barre, Pa., respectively, come William W. Badman and Donald R. Goodfellow.

Groups To Use Gymnasium On FourConditions

Organizations contracting for use of the University Gymnasium for dancing, according to Athletic Direc- tor J. A. McLane, must adhere strictly to the following conditions:

1. No heavy objects, such as chairs, davenports, lighting fixtures, pianos, or benches, are to be placed upon the floor. The platform to be used for orchestras may be erected under the direct supervision of the janitor of the building.

2. The janitor is to be in attendance during the time the gymnasium is being decorated. The janitor will have the authority to make decisions as to what is placed on the floor.

3. The material used on the floor for dancing must be applied by the janitor. Waxes or oils of any kind are strictly prohibited. (Any substance containing an oil base acts as an as- phalt solvent and would ruin the floor.)

4. There is to be no smoking on the main floor of the gymnasium. Each cigarette dropped on the floor leaves a permanent black mark in the mas- tick. The committee in charge of the dance is responsible for enforcing this regulation.

Frosh-Soph Plays Scheduled Nov. 10

Tentative date for the frosh-soph plays this year is Nov. 10, it was announced after a meeting Oct. 2, of the Footlight Club.

The club also plans to present a one-act play at an assembly program Feb. 19 and two major productions later in the year. Tryouts for the frosh-soph plays will be announced within the next two weeks.

Directors for these plays are: Vin- ent Guercio '50, Joan Heise '47, Jer- ome Stern '50, and Richard Tracy '49.

Officers announced at the. meeting for the coming year are: president, H.

Dean Root '50; vice president, Richard Tracy '49; secretary, Irene Johnston '50; business manager, Kate Guenther '50; and publicity manager, Juel An- derson '49.

Highlight of the Weekend will be the football game between Alfred and the University of Buffalo at Merrill Field, 8:15 p.m., Saturday. Between halves a Frosh-Soph tug-of-war is scheduled. "The University Band tentatively lias planned to perform some maneuvers during the halftime,"

stated Olin Johnson, director.

Preceeding the game will be the Footlight Club tea Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m. in Alumni Hall, given for former members of the club. Joan Heise '47, past president of the club, is in charge of the tea.

At/5 p.m. Saturday, alumni residing in Alfred and the faculty are giving a buffet supper in the Campus Union Annex for the visitors. Mrs. W. Var- ick Nevins is chairman of the committee. Last year 500 guests were present at the buffet supper and more are expected this year.

Immediately following the game a dance sponsored by Blue Key is to be held at South Hall.

Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock the Alfred University Forum is presenting the Rochester Civic Orchestra at Un- iversity Gymnasium. Visiting alumni who wish to attend will be guests and should make arrangements to attend through Mr. Reid's office in Greene Hall.

Frank Marino Wins Frosh Presidency, Ag-Tech Campaign

Frank Marino, a technical major, won election for freshman class president in the Agricultural and Techni- cal Institute, last Friday, after one of the most elaborate campaigns for a class office to be conducted on the campus since the war.

Other officers elected were: senior class president, Paul Baker and jun- ior class president, Charles Hoagland.

Baker was unopposed. Hoagland defeated Jack Jones by an overwhelming majority. Opposing Marino were Giles, Robert Parsons and Sheldon.

The campaign action commenced early in the week with an extensive display of posters mainly for the freshman class office. The whole affair climaxed Friday afternoon with a number of automobiles boasting can- didates and trailing tin cans.

Three Attend Conference Of Deans At Lake Placid

Deans Elizabeth Geen, B. H. Stone, and M. E. Drake attended a conference of the New York Association of Deans last weekend at Lake Placid.

The program featured discussions of the problem of transition from high, school to college, universal military training and new approaches to psych- ological problems.

Alfred Campaign Starts Today

Alfred has mobilized in answer to the President's plea for food conservation and today marks the official opening of the local cam- paign. Students, faculty and townspeople have pledged their sup- port to the three-point program:

1. to use no meat on Tuesdays

2. to use no poultry or eggs on Thursdays 3. to save a slice of bread a day.

The Secretary of Commerce, from his personal observations of the plight of Western Europe, pointed out that the problem is acute.

These people have been living on pitifully low rations and have little reserve strength to endure a winter with further drastic cuts.

"Without food they cannot do their share of work," the Secretary said. "Without food, the enormous job of industrial and agricultural recontruction cannot be done."

The Secretary of State has said that the attitude and actions of the American people "can make or break our efforts to achieve peace and security throughout the world," and the whole tone of the cam- paign is characterized by the slogan: "The food you save may save a life."

So we in Alfred must give more than an empty pledge. We have accepted our responsibility. We must follow through.

Union Walls a Bulletin Board?

Night And Day

By Beverly Button

The Intersorority Tea was held in the four sorority houses from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday. About 70 frosh trudged back and forth be- tween the houses. Pi Alpha Pi was decorated with fall leaves, crysanthemums and candles. Small aquariums with goldfish, arti- ficial frogs, turtles, fish and ducks were given as favors. Mrs. M. E.

Holmes and Miss Elsie Binns served the punch and cookies and candies. Miniature brooms were given to the guests at Omicron. Tea coffee, sandwiches and Cake were served by Mrs. D. K. Degen and Mrs. C. D. Smith. Autumn leaves and mums were used for decora- tion. Theta Chi, also using an autumn theme for decoration, gave black ribbon watch fobs with the greek letters in sequins as favors.

Miss Hewitt served tea and cinnamon toast; Miss Nelson served hors d'ouvres; and Mrs. Russell served cider and donuts. Fall leaves created the autumn theme at Sigma Chi. Miss Creighton and Miss Ford were at the punch table, where small cakes and mints were served. The favors were acorn lapel pins.

The Castle held a tea lor the fresh

Response to the renting of the masterpiece prints was amazing.

All but ten of 54 were gone within the first hour and art enthusiasts must be gratified that students want to have good art in their living quarters.

But a few students are benefiting at the expense of an attractive Union. The pictures on the walls gave life and atmosphere to a room which is otherwise obviously a "prefab." Now the walls are complete- ly bare except for Winter Sports Club notices. If this is an indica- tion of what may happen in the future, the inside walls of the Union will become another campus bulletin board.

We suggest that local artists pool their best works for display in the Union. This was done when the Union first opened and it worked satisfactorily. Some student art is excellent and should be placed where others have an opportunity to appreciate it. A double purpose will be accomplished if the appearance of the Union is improved at the same time.

The Raving Reporter

By Larry Griffith

What, no meat on Tuesday? No chicken or eggs on Thursday?

Those are the questions Alfred students are asking themselves since Student Senate Prexy Goss announced that the eating establishments in Alfred would heed President Truman's food conservation appeal.

Here are a few opinions of suffering students when asked if they were in favor of the restrictions:

Peggy Baker '48—"I think it's a very good idea. People eat too much anyway, Amedicans should cut down on food consumption so that more can be sent to Europe."

Warren Guehl '50—"It's okay if we don't starve ourselves to death."

Earl Lowe '49—"Yes. I think all the 'States' are getting to fat."

Millie Albert '48—"On condition, yes. If the food is distributed to the needy in our own country as well as Europe. I think we should help star- ving peoples to help themselves."

Tom Cantwell '50—"No. I'm a grow- ing boy."

Stan Garr '50—"What, no grits, gravy, and pork chops?"

Dwight Brown '50—"It's a noble idea, BUT."

Bill Schmidt '50—"It's All right If they pad all the chairs and seats on campus—I'm losing weight!"

Danny Rase '50—"No. I'm against sending food overseas. Why feed them and then kill them? Peed Amer-

ica first and send what is left over- seas."

Keith Elston '48—"I wouldn't object to it if it were intelligently administer- ed."

Dick Hallberg '50—"No. To begin with, I think the middle man is hold- ing back food in stock in the hope of getting higher prices."

Freshmen Attend Alpha Phi Omega Smoker Sun.

More than 30 Freshmen from the campus attended a get-acquainted smoker sponsored by Apha Phi Omega, Sunday evening in the Campus Union Annex. Robert Young '48, was chair- man.

Visitors were advised of Apha Phi's projects, the possibilities for leader- ship and service and other advantages of the service fraternity by President Ralph Beals '49, Floyd English '50, and by Dr. S. R. Scholes, Jr., faculty advisor.

Letters To The Editor-

Dear Editor:

Since the opening of college this Fall, Social Hall has not been avail- able for student use on either Friday or Saturday evenings. This seems to be a new policy and one which de- tracts . considerably for the campus social activities.

The Union Annex is a good addition to the campus, but it does not take the place of Social Hall. The wide selection of popular records, a number of games including ping-pong and a quiet atmosphere make Social Hall a desirable place.

Since I am but one of many students who would like the privilege of using Social Hall on week-end nights, I am asking you to publish this letter to bring this matter to the attention of all students and the University ad- ministration.

David A. Crump, '50

Music Library Open Five Days Of Week

A survey of the music preference of Alfred students will be made through a check of the withdrawals from the Record Library in Social Hall, said Dean Elizabeth Geen in announcing the following rules for the library:

1. The Music Library will be open from 4: SO to 6:00 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday af- ternoons and on Sunday from 5:30 to 6:00 p.m. Records may be taken out and returned only at the scheduled times. The limit per person is one album at a time.

2. There will be a charge per album of ten cents for the first three days and five cents for each day thereafter.

Damage to any record will be assessed according to a set scale.

Blue Key Initiates Sixteen New Men

Initiated into Blue Key national honorary fraternity Wednesday eve- ning at a dinner meeting at the Brick, were 15 juniors and seniors and one member of the University administra- tive staff, Dean B. H. Stone.

The men who were initiated into the ervice group are: William Beazell Jr. '49, John A. Carabillo '48, Richard Dunne '49, Frank N. Elliott '48, Robert Hanrigh't '49, Arling C. Hazlett '49, Eugene Holman '49, Daniel Kane Jr.

49, John Kane '49, Russell Langwor- thy '49, Jerome Lyons '49, Edward Purdey '49, John Rice '48, Raymond 0. Scholts '49, and Sidney Schweitzer 49.

Dear Editor:

Since the removal of the paintings last week, the Student Union Annex has taken on the appearance of a drab hall, lacking in both color and personality. This is unbecoming to the room recognized as the social cen- ter of the Alfred campus.

Although the Annex is adequately equipped for recreation, many stu- dents are not proud of the scene that greets the student and his guests.

A gaudy jukebox, a cigarette dispen- ser flanked by two pin-ball machines, and four Winter Sports posters scat- tered haphazardly between fourteen windows and six doors are the only decorative additions to the barren hall.

The total effect is one of complete disinterest by both the student body and the administration.

We would like to suggest that a committee of Ceramic artists and Union Board members be given the responsibility of painting murals on the walls, depicting the varied activi- ties of Alfred's campus life. That would enhance the Annex's attractive- ness and increase its value as the so- cial center of Alfred University.

RFA Discusses ¹ July World Conference

Miss Rena Weller and Miss Dorothy Anne Wallace, staff secretaries of the New York Student Christian Move- ment met with the RFA cabinet last week. They discussed the Second World Conference of Christian Youth which they attended in Oslo, Norway, in July, 1947.

In connection with the conference Miss Weller visited some of the war torn areas of Europe. She observed that the common people of Europe now have an attitude of disinterest toward life and that their chief con- cern is to keep alive rather than to enjoy life. Placing the blame for this spiritual depression on under- nourishment, Miss Weller emphasized the pressing need for a "rediscovery of religious values in Europe among people who were forced to disregard ethical standards when they resisted the Nazis."

College Town

By Muddlehead

While couples cavorted in shoeless merriment at the sophomore "Sock Hop," a grim pageant was enacted be- hind the scenes. The hero of this pag- eant was none other than our town marshall "Fearless Fosdick" Darling.

Fearless Fosdick with great ingenuity disguised himself as a size 11 Cordo- van shoe and managed to catch red- handed Tom McShane and Don Gar- rison, two of the instigators of the dance as they prepared to flee with a booty of 125 pairs of shoes. They were planning on opening up a second hand shoe store in Hornell.

In a running fight along the banks of the Kanakadea, Fearless Fosdick armed only with a squeegee water pistol against the desperadoes' Roy Rogers rocket pistols finally brought to men to bay.

The attempt might have been suc- cessful except for two things. The men foolishly decided to fight it out near the Kanakadea where our con- stable could reload his water pistol at will, and they had only been able to save 84 box tops of Krispy Whispy breakfast food and thus had a limited supply of ammunition.

Mayor Harrison in honor of the deeds performed in saving our stu- dents from the ignomity of going to class shoeless has named next Friday

"Fearless Fosdick Day." On Friday, everybody will shine their shoes rev- erently in honor of Constable Darling:

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1947 THE FIAT LUX, ALFRED, N. Y. PAGE THREE

Saxons Defeat Clarkson 19-13 At Potsdam, Sat. Afternoon, In Second Win Of Grid Season

T-General

Paul Curran who rose in the Clark- son clash to fill' Kehoe's empty shoes.

A clean sweep over their North Country grid rivals—Their first in history—has given Alfred University's plucky grid legions new hope as it readied for the season's high spot—their Homecoming battle with Jim Peelle's rampaging University of Buffalo Bulls next Saturday evening at Merrill Field.

The Saxons pounded out a work- man-like 19-13 victory over Clarkson College of Technology Saturday afternoon at Potsdam for their second win in three starts. The week before they had defeated Clarkson's neigh- bor, St. Lawrence, 20-7, and hence it was the first time they'd bettered both schools the same year.

It was the same old story—Hal Brown, working with Paul Curran and Bill Argentieri to spark the deter- mined Saxons. Only this time Paul Curran rose to new stature as he en- gineered the win. Curran has been on thin ice this season, shoved into the thankless job of trying to fill empty shoes left by last year's T-general Jim Kehoe.

Last Saturday Paul Curran proved that he was the man for the job.

It was his passes to vBrown and Argentieri, in a drive which started on the Alfred 20, which sparked the first touchdown drive in the second period. He heaved a 23-yard gainer to Argentieri, his fellow Hornellian, and then rifled one to Brown for 16.

The Saxons moved downfield in 14 plays to the one, from where Curran bucked over.

Clarkson fumbles set the stage for the two remaining Alfred scores.

Frank Ivancic, end, hopped onto a Tech bobble early in the third period and Brown scooted 32 yards around left end for the second tally. Guard Ignatius Scott covered another bobble, and Curran lateraled to Brown on the next play for 36 yards and the final score. Brown's kick for conversion was good.

Clarkson came to life in the third period, behind 19 points, to break into scoring play. End Bob Izard par- tially blocked Brown's kick and Sam Impiombato connected on two passes, the second to Izard for 12 yards and the score. Pete Lukas kicked the extra poiift. In the fourth, Dave Ho- brick, subbing for the injured Pod- gurski, went over from the 18 after a 20-yard run the previous play. Lukas' attempted conversion was no good.

Alfred piled up \L63 yards gained rushing to Clarkson's 50; 11 first downs to 8; made but three of 12 attempted passes to Clarkson's 8 of 20.

Clarkson made 79 yards on passes, to Alfred's 60.

Coach Alex Yunevich, playing check- ers again with his small squad, used 20 of the 25 men in uniform. Clark- son Coach Les Dye, trying hard to avenge last year's 38-6 defeat at Al- fred, used 23 men. It was Clarkson's second defeat in four starts.

Peelle, a Purdue teammate of Yune- vich, will be trying hard to repeat last years sweet 20-12 win over Al- fred, his first over Alfred since Yune- vich took over Alfred's coaching reigns in 1937. He has indicated that he'll have 62 men in uniform next Sat- urday night. The Hobart runaway was the Bulls fourth straight win, but the first one in which they'd run up the score.

Yunevich, handicapped by a small squad, is playing his cards close to his chest.

Freshman Harriers Play Host To Colgate Raiders

The Frosh cross-country team played host to a strong six-man team from Colgate, Friday. Don Ullrich of the Raiders travelled the two-and-one-half -mile course in 15:11.5 minutes to take top honors. "That is very good time,"

commented Alfred's Coach Wilbur Getz.

The Colgate team placed men in the first, second and third positions, with Alfred's Fred Mott, Tom Myers, and Paul Betlem taking fourth, fifth, and sixth place, respectively. Jack Ander- sen placed eighth and Jack Megarr pulled in tenth to complete the first five scoring men for Alfred.

This was the first meet for our Purple and Gold team. Taking every- thing into consideration our boys made a very good showing for themselves.

Sport Side

By Larry Kinlon

On the eve of the annual Homecom- ing game and celebration, Alex Yune- vich's injury-ridden gridmen are dog- gedly sticking to their guns in ready- ing for Saturday's tussle with the powerful Buffalo Bisons.

Fresh from last weekend's romp over Hobard, 56-0, the Bisons are ready to swamp Merrill Field with its 60-man squad to repeat their 1946 eleven. Those of you who recall last victory over an underdog Saxon year's game between the two teams at Buffalo Stadium, saw how Alfred held the Bisons for the first half only to succumb before unlimited reserves in the last half, to taste the only Saxon defeat of the season. Veteran Saxon- ians, Brown, Schweitzer, Scott, Sut- phen, Curran, Clark, Argentieri, De- Dalt, Reuning, and Barone saw service in that game with the Bisons and that gleam in their eyes signifies things are going to be a little tougher for Coach Peel's boys this year.

An interesting sidelight on Satur- day's game is the friendly rivalry between Buffalo's coach, Peele and our own Alex Yunevich. Back in the days when both men were carrying the ball for a powerful Perdue team, Yun- evich starred on the first string var- sity squad, while Peele caught bench splinters as a member of the second string. So you see, it is not just a ball game for both coaches. Supplement- ing that rivalry, the Bisons have al- ways felt that if they lost every other game on their schedule and beat Al- fred, they would have gone through a successful season.

Traditionally steeped in a grad feud that goes back to 1902, the Bisons and Saxons have met 23 times, with Alfred on top in the all-time record for 13 wins, 6 losses, and 4 games tied. This is t h e second post-war game.

Alfred welcomes its alumni and friends who are back for her annual homecoming, and win, lose or draw, we hope you all have a good time.

Cross Country Team Defeats Colgate, 21-38

Making a terrific comeback after their loss to RPI in the opening meet, three Saxon harriers gave spectators a thrilling finish Friday when Marv Smith, Dick O'Neil and Bob Wight- man crossed the finish line side by side to win first honors in 30.21 minutes and handed Colgate's Red Raid- ers a 38-21 defeat.

Following the threesome were Rob- erts, Godfrey, and Haugwant of Col- gate. Not to be outdone by the trio and returning the winning score to Alfred were Pat Zegarelli, Herb Aver- ell, Luther Perkins and Jim Heasley who were followed by Stultz, Johnson, and Varian of the Raider's squad. Vic DeProsse and Ken Spring placed eighth and ninth, respectively, for Alfred. George Pixley who was up in the paying-off position suffered a sprained ankle and had to withdraw from the race.

The, freshmen hockey team won both games last Saturday by default, since neither a sophomore nor an upperclass team showed up. This is sad, but is all too typical. In order for the frosh team to be able to play at all, some of them had to play on a team with a nucleus of the five non- frosh girls that did show up. This team beat the frosh 1-0. Pam Tarbrake '50, made the only goal, and Barbara Richardson '51, was the outstanding player for the frosh.

Touch Football Gets Underway Saturday

Terra Cotta Field was the scene of much activity all day Saturday as t h e first round of the Touch Football tourney got under way. A total of five games was scheduled for the entire day, and every team entered had a chance for participation.

Delta Sig and Kappa Nu won their games from Bartlett I and Rural En- gineers, respectively, by forfeit as t h e latter teams failed to show up at t h e specified time.

In the first game to be actually played a power laden Lambda Chi team overwhelmed a hard fighting, b u t inadequate Beta Sigma Psi team by a score of 20-0. The Lambda Chi of- fense featured passing and hard running plays sparked by Kenny Stevens.

Klan Alpine edged a spirited Frozen Foods team by a 7-0 score in the third game of the day in which the Foods team was hampered by numerous fumbles. The Klan attack was sparked largely by Wes Cox, Gordie Stunn- er and Hank Cottrell.

In what proved to be the most close- ly contested game of the day, Kappa Psi edged out the Bartlett II team i n overtime by a 7-6 count. The Kappa Psi attack was led by Jim Snow, Ralph Jordan and Mac Jorger.

The games will be resumed next Saturday morning at 9:00 A.M. Spec- tators are cordially invited to witness the games.

Escaping Car Crashes Into Gateway Post

Alfred's parking problem shook the foundations of the University, Wed- nesday night about 11:10, when a 1941 Pontiac owned by Leo Shaw, 117 North Main Street, ran down the hill from its parking space in front of the Goth- ic and crashed into the south post of the Class of 1925 gateway. Driver of the car was attending a movie.

Mr. Shaw, GLP employee, estimated the damage to the car at more than

$400. The local police patrolman, Pat Davis, and State Police from the Hor- nell sub-station investigated the accident. The car was left in gear and the doors were locked, it was reported. "I doubt if the car could have rolled down the hill by itself while in gear," Mr. Shaw said. However, there are few clues as to who might have pushed the car.

Treasurer E. K. Lebohner, who pointed out that Dean M. E. Drake was a member of the Class of '25, said the post would have to be entire- ly rebuilt at a cost of "probably $1000."

The contract has been let to the L.

C. Whitford Co. of Wellsville. Dean Drake said original cost of the posts was about $750.

Insurance on the car does not cover this type of an accident, Mr. Shaw said.

Dr. Steven F. Urban Speaks Before ACS

The Student Branch of the Ameri- can Ceramic Society will begin its series of talks on "Jobs in Ceramics"

on Wednesday at 8:15 in Physics Hall.

Dr. Steven F. Urban, director of research at Titanium Alloy Manufactur- ing Company, Niagara Falls, one of the most progressive ceramic firms in New York State, will talk to the group on "A Job in Research."

The Student Branch of the Ameri- can Ceramic Society is composed of all students in ceramic engineering, glass technology and ceramic technology.

Policy of the program committee this year is to avoid speakers whose topics will be too technical to be of interest to all the undergraduates in the Ceramics College.

The address will be preceded by a brief business meeting and Dr. Urban will answer any questions at the com- pletion of his address.

Alfred Red Cross Delegates Discuss College Unit Plan

Plans for a Red Cross College Unit are tentatively being discussed as a result of the Alfred delegation's visit to the College Unit Conference at New Rochelle, October 10 and 11.

Representatives Edward Purdey '49, Roxanne Roberts '48, Doriss Weaver '48, Sigfreid Wuerslin AT, and Miss Margaret Wingate attended the conference which was the first for the New York, Delaware and New Jersey district and the second of its kind to be held in the U. S.

Students from Syracuse, Russell Sage, University of Buffalo, Cornell, Montclair College of New Rochelle, Marymount, and others told of the services performed by their chapters and the organization and problems of their college unit. In many colleges, Red Cross has charge of child care centers, hospital entertainment troups, nutrition, home nursing, first aid, water safety courses, and home service bureaus for veterans. There are j now 226 units in this country including the University of Alaska and Hawaii.

Special features of the conference included discussion groups on present problems, and a demonstration of water safety in the New Rochelle pool. Miss Mable Walker, National College Unit director who had three years experience in Red Cross work overseas, was among several speakers who appeared at the conference.

C. Hoffman To Head Rod And Gun Group

Election of Charles Hoffman 49, chairman of the Rod and Gun group, highlighted the second meeting of the Winter Sports Club Tuesday evening in Social Hall. Nearly 100 members attended the meeting.

Siegfried Wuerslin, AT, president, heard reports from the various committee heads. Both the skating rink and the ski tow will be in operation by that time the winter sports season arrives, stated Frank Pasternack and Richard Smith, skating and skiing chairmen, respectively.

U. Of Rochester Sponsors Student Gov't Conference

Under the auspices of the State Stu- dent Government Association, Marie Cherichetti '48, and Emily Nicholl '49, attended a two-day conference Friday and Saturday, sponsored by the Uni- versity of Rochester. Representatives of women's student governments from more than ten upstate colleges were present.

The three themes of the Friday, Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon ^programs were: Purpose of Student Government, Individual Lead- ership and Areas for Improvement.

Two outstanding speakers present were Dr. Katherine Koller, , English department head of the University of Rochester, who spoke on "Purposes and Scope of Campus Governments,"

and Prof. Virginia Harrington of Bar- nard College, whose topic was "Stu- dent Government Viewed by the Col- lege Administration."

Body Of Corp. Jack Kerr Brought Back By Request

Among the bodies of the first 25 World War II dead from Western New York to be brought back at the request of next of kin, aboard the U. S. Army transport Honda Knot which docked in San Francisco, Fri- day is that of Corp. Jack L. Kerr ex- '42, who served three years as a weather observer before being killed on Sept. 16, 1943 in Hawaii.

Son of Mrs. Mayme L. Kerr, 72 Sawyer St., Hornell, Corp. Kerr was a pre-med student at Alfred in 1939- 40. The *body will be brought to Salindille, O., to be buried next to Mrs. Kerr's husband who died in 1944.

Chaplain Sibley Urges Backing Of Food Plan

"I would like to see each member of the Alfred community assume his individual share of responsibility in making the proposal of President Tru- man's an effective instrument," Chap- lain Myron K. Sibley told the Fiat this week.

The Chaplain also made ample mention of the Food Conservation Pro- gram in his sermon, "Neighborliness,"

Sunday.

"Any effort that is undertaken," he went on, "in a nation-wide scale to help the citizens feel the responsibility for alleviating hunger abroad is to be commended as expedient if nothing more.

"No doubt it is a natural point of view to think of the tremendous and extravagant expenditure of war as a sifficient price for peace," the clergy- man said. "Since America's contri- bution here has been extreme, most of us are apt to conclude that we are without further debts abroad. But anyone who attempts a second thought, cannot but realize that expenditures or war are not expenditures for peace. The major task of bringing men together is yet to be achieved, and this is impossible while half of the world remains destitute."
