Presidential Election Today;
Exercise Your Right to Vote
The percentage of eligible voters
who did not cast their ballots in
the last presidential election was
great enough to defeat both President
Eisenhower and Adlai Steveneon.
This year all over the country
students are ringing doorbells, making
telephone calls and distributing,
campaign literature in an effort
to bring out a greater number of
voters than in previous elections.
In an effort to bring out the Alfred
vote, the Young Republicans
Club heli} a pre-election day rally
and parade yesterday at 5:00 p.m.
The rally was held in front of Del-
FIAT
ta Sigma Phi fraternity. A torchlight
parade — featuring cars, the
Theta Gamma band, and banners —•
started from Delta Sig, proceeded up
Main Street, turned to pass Sorority
Row, encircled the town, and
ended back at the fraternity.
According to Dean Gertz, about
15 per cent of the Alfred student
body is eligible, to vote. He feels
that almost all of those eligible will
vote — at home if they live in the
area and by absentee ballot if the
traveling distance is too great. For
most of the students, excepting the
veterans, this will be the first time
they cast their ballots.
Only a small percentage have fulfilled
the residence requirement
necessary to vote here in Alfred.
Those who have, the faculty members
who can do so, and the townspeople
vote at Firemen's Hall,
where the. polls open at 7 a.m. All
voting is done by machine.
In a straw .election held on the
campus last May, the Eisenhower-
Nixon ticket defeated the Stevenson-Clement
bill 132 votes to 119
votes. Twelve write-in votes were
also cast. If the relationship between
this year's straw election
and the actual voting is the same
as that of 1962',, President Eisenhower
is due for a second term of office.

CCNY Prexy To Speak;
UglyMen Again Honored
On Thursday, November 8, in conjunction
with the annual Campus
Chest Drive, the University will be
host to Dr. Buell Gordon Gallagher,
president of the City College of
New York. While on campus, Dr.
Gallagher will be the featured
speaker at the assembly. His topic
will be the World University Service,
one of the organizations among
which the money received from the
Campus Chest Drive will be divided.
The other charities are local
orphanages and the National Mental
Health Association.
President Gallagher was born in
Rankin, Illinois, in 1904. He re
ceived his A.B. from Carleton College
in Minnesota in 1925 and a
B.D. from Union Theological Seminary
in New York City. The degree
of Doctor of Philosophy was conferred
upon him by Columbia University
in 1939.
In 1929, Dr. Gallagher was ordained
a minister in the Congregational
Church, and was minister
of the First Church in Passaic, New
Jersey for two years.
He served as president of Talla-
. dega (Alabama) College from 1933-
43 and has been the president of
C.C.N.Y. since i»52.
In addition to his affiliation with
the W.U.S., President Gallagher is
the director of the National Association
for the Advancement of
Colored People and is the author of
a book on race relations. He has
also written many articles for religious
and education journals.
Another highlight of the Campus
Chest Drive, the annual Ugly Man
contest, sponsored by Alpha Phf
Omega, the national service fraternity,
is now in progress. AU of
the University^ residences have
elected their candidates and pictures
of the ugly men have been
taken, despite mysterious damage
to the camera, affected perhaps by
its inability to capture the ethereal
radiance emanating from the
pulchritudinous males.

Bolivia Topic
Of Boot's Talk
Will Boots, who has just returned
from a three year missionary term
in Cochabamba, Bolivia, will speak
at the Union University Church
at 8:30 p.m. on Friday, November
9th. His report will concern his
Bolivian experiences, relevancy of
Christian gospel to our world, and
opportunities in missionary service.
Majoring in sociology, Mr. Boots
graduated from Allegheny College,
Meadville, Pennsylvania, in 1952.
During his senior year he took one
semester at American University
in Washington, with special study
in political science and government.
At this time he decided to enter
the ministry, and a course on contemporary
Latin America impressed
him so much that he began to
consider missionary service.
After one year at Garrette Biblical
Institute, Mr. Boots went to
Bolivia, where he taught religion
and English, directed a high school
boys' boarding school, and acted
as pastor of both Spanish and
Eunglish congregations.
Arrangements for an interview
with Mr. Boots may be made
through Dean Rogers of the School
of Theology.
NURSING TOUR
Twenty-four high school senior
girls from Corning visited the
School of Nursing at the University
Monday for the purpose of becoming
better acquainted with the'
nursing curriculum of a college
campus. All the girls were members
of Future Nurses Clubs of
Corning.
Dean I. Vernette Grau welcomed
the group and three accompanying
nurses. Following a brief orientation
on the nursing program at the
University, the visiting high school
senors attended regular classes and
labs with AU students where they
were able to ask questions and
experience some of the actual
training received by student nurses.
A. U. Vandalism
To Alfred Students:
The painting of the University of Buffalo buildings and
campus prior to the Alfred-Buffalo game last week was. an act
of vandalism which cannot be tolerated. Unfortunately the
actions of a few immature and irresponsible individuals have
caused many Buffalonians to label Alfred students as "rowdies
and hoodlums."
This incident cannot be laughed at or even looked at with
amused tolerance. It is in no sense an act of "school spirit."
One does not show love for his Alma Mater by inflicting serious
damage upon a neighboring institution. How can property
damage help in winning games or enhancing the reputation of
your University?
We are now faced with a serious problem, for the incident
affects Alfred in many ways:
(1) Alfred's prestige in the Niagara Frontier Area has
been seriously weakened. Think what the reaction-of Buffalonians
must have been to the picture printed in the Buffalo Courier
Express of the beautiful library building of their University
defaced with paint. Think how embarrassed our alumni and
friends in the area must be about this.
(2) General public support for Alfred in the Niagara Frontier
Area has been affected. We have worked hard in recent
years to tell the story of Alfred in Buffalo and to win friends
and support for the University and have made considerable
progress. All, of this work and progress can be nullified by the
actions-of a few unthinking students. We must have the friendship
and support of the public in Buffalo if we are to continue
to attract good students; if our graduates are to be placed in
good positions; and if Alfred degrees are to have prestige.
(3y Our athletic relationships have been weakened not
only with the University of Buffalo but also with other schools.
How can we have a good representative football schedule, including
neighboring colleges, if a game with us includes a midnight
raid by irresponsible students?
I called Acting Chancellor Puffer of the University of
Buffalo on the telephone as soon as I learned of the painting
episode and expressed my dismay and regret over what had
happened. I also told him that we would assume xesponsibility
for repairing the damage. This is, of course, the least that we
can do. The cost of repairs, however, will be considerable,
particularly because of the problem of cleaning the limestone
pillar? on. the, library.
No thinking student can fail to see other far-reaching effects
of this episode. The University has suffered because of the acts
of a few. Apologies and payment for damage are all that we can
offer, but these cannot restore Alfred to its former position of
prestige.
M. Ellis Drake
President
Gngleinann Moderates Debate
To Clarify Campaign Issues
A political debate and the first
formal appearance of the All Male
Glee Club marked last week's assembly
in Alumni Hlall. It is the
first time since 19'52 that Alfred
has had an all male glee club. The
group, under the direction of Dr.
David Johnson, sang four selections.
The remainder of the program
was devoted to the election panel
which was moderated by Dr. Frederick
Engelmann. The panel consisted
of Professor Myron K. Sibley
and Bruce MacDonald for the
Democrats and Professor Alex Human
and Ronald Brown for the
Republicans.
After a few introductory remarks
by Dr. Englemann, Prof. Kuman
opened the discussion for the Republicans.
He devoted his tiipe to
three issues, Eisenhower's character,
our abiding peace and civil
rights. Prof. Kuman stated that
the Republican party treats all minorities
with fairness and impartiality
and provides security for
all people. He further stated that
President Eisenhower is a "genius
of character" and has had constant
devotion to his duty.
Professor Sibley, in attacking the
Republican's stand asserted that
Eisenhower, contrary to Prof. Kuman's
belief, had spent much of his
time out of the White House on
hunting trips or the golf course
when important decisions by him
were necessary. Prof. Bruce Mac-
Donald Stated the Democrats' stand
on civil rights.
Prof. MacDonald started the Democratic
discussion with Nixon. He
stated that Nixon had gainef office
by "the well-timed smear of the
big line" and "slush funds." He also
brought out the fact that our foreign
policy has suffered by the inability
of the Republican "officers"
to agree on any direct line. He accused
Dulles of using "Brinkmanship"
and of causing our foreign
policy to gain the reputation of unworthiness.
Next, Prof. Brown spoke for the
Republicans. He stated that Nixon
is the best vice president to come
to the White House and is giving
the vice presidency the proper place
it deserves. He Said he was then
bringing up a "dirty word" by
speaking of Truman and went on to
cite the "messiest mess" that Washington
ever had.
Prof. Brown then gave the closing
statement for his party. He
stated that th$ Republican party ac-

Dems and GOP Vie:
Debate Main Issues
The Alfred Chapter of the
League of Women Voters held a
debate on election campaign issues
October 29, in Kenyon Chapel,
with Mrs. Suzanne Wood serving as
moderator.
Dr. Willis Russell and Mr. Henry
Langer spoke for the Republicans,
while speakers for the Democrats
were Mr. David Leach and
Dr. Frederick Engelmann.
Mr. Langer, the first speaker,
limited his remarks to four major
issues. These were the Democrat
attacks on Republican foreign policy,
Democratic ideas for farm stability,
Democratic philosophy of
the place of government in society,
and the Democratic ideas of "exclusive
friend of thé common man."
Mr. Langer said he could not
Bee how the Democratic record
shows that they can improve the
present world situation materially.
He also declared that the Democrats
are ''victims of the past."
Concerning the farm problem, Mr.
Langer stated that the Democrats'
fixed parity subsidy payments solved
nothing. In conclusion, he declared
that the existing governmental
programs are more ' to the
advantage of United States citizens
than anything the Democrats
could present.
Dr. Russell, the other Republican
speaker, began by stating that the
Democratic Party is a party of experimentation.
He declared that
the U. S. is not in the mess that
the Democrats are picturing in
order to win the election. Dr. Russell
defended the excess profits
tax stand by the Republican administration
by saying the removal
of this tax was for the benefit
of small businessmen as well as
for the entire economy. He concluded
by stating that the Republicans
don't play to the voter, but
Btand for what is good for Americans.
Dr. Engelmann, the first speaker
for the Democrats, stated that it is
now time for a change. This, he
said, was because the Republicans
are unwilling and unable to put into
effect domestic programs. Among
other things, they failed to provide
leadership and to spread prosperity.
"The Republican tax program
is a regressive one, giving cuts
only to holders of stocks and bonds
and campaigning to keep those
earning $600 plus on the tax rolls,"
he declared. In addition Dr. Engelmann
stated that Eisenrower has
not been a strong leader of his party
and thatj Nixon is really the
strong man of the Republican Party.
Prof. Leach focused attention on
the foreign policy. He argued that
our economic prosperity depends
greatly on whether we have peace;
I our concern for others is not a
I matter of altruismi, but one for
our own vital interest. Our present
complacency is dangerous and
our present policy short-sighted
and limited. The "inexcusable blunders
of the Administration," Prof.
Leach brought out, hàve frittered
away America's strength, weakened
our alliances, and earned the
distrust of the world. He cited such
blunders as the failure of EDC,
Indo-China, and the "unleasing"
of Chiang Kai Shek.
Following the speakers was a
period of rebuttal during which
the audience was able to question
the debaters on their stands on the
various issues.

Wardrobe Main Factor
But You Never Can Tell
by Bonnie Gross
Somber colors or bright. Frivolous
styles or mannish. These are
only two of the many problems
confronting Linda Rahl, who is designing
the costumes for "You Never
Can Tell."
To answer these questions Linda
first reads the play thoroughly,
paying attention to the various
characters and their personalities.
Then she considers th,e • cast, the
individuals who are to create the
characters on the stage. She also
pays attention to the playwright's
opinion. Shaw, for example, has
given strict instructions that "You
Never Can Tell" is definitely a
period play. Finally the actual work
of designing begins.
After the initial sketches have
been made, they must be co-ordinated
with the set, which is being
designed by Joan Fischman. When
the costumes have actually been
made, the actors will try them on
against the stage background to
insure that they will not conflict
with the set in any way.
Linda has designed most- of the
costumes in neutral, even somher
tones because she feels that the actors
should be strong enough to
put over their parts, and also because
she does not wish the costumes
to detract from the players.
The clothes styles are those of
the early twentieth century with
a few slight variations to insure
their unity with the set, which is
modernistic in form. Men's clothing
is characterized by tapered trousers,
high top hats, high collars,
and vests. The women have long
skirts, jackets nipped in at the
waist, and full sleeves.
Part of the wardrobe will be
made expressly for this play; other
costumes used in previous plays
will be made over to fit into "You
Never Can Tell," and a few things
will be borrowed. With regard to
this last category, Linda has issued
a request for girls' striped
corduroy blazers, high button
shoes (both men's and women's),
and harlequin costumes. If anyone
has one of these items or knows
where to obtain it, it will be greatly
appreciated if he will contact
Linda Rahl at Kruson Hall or Professor
Smith.
Open Letter
I would like to take this opportunity
to extend my deepest thanks
and appreciation to the members of
he freshman class for electing me
their president. To know that the
frosh members have enough confidence
in me to elect me to this
office is one of the greatest honors
I have ever had. I promise, therefore,
to handle the office to the best
of my ability, to uphold the principles
of my platform and to be constantly
open to new ideas.
Again, thank you very much.

Israel-Egypt Conflict Breaks;
Leach Speaks to Record Group
by Maxene
More than 150 students and faculty
members poured Into Howell
Hall last Tuesday evening, October
90, for a special meeting of the
Political Science Club. The planned
election debates which have
been in progress for the past four
weeks was abandoned in view of
the news that Israel and Egypt
were in conflict.
Professor David Leach of the
history and political science, department,
had been called upon
late that afternoon to conduct an
impromptu discussion on this sudden
development in world affairs
and it was he who answered questions
and commented on developments
during this meeting.
Professor Leach likened the situation
to that of September, 1939,
when the Germans were about to
enter Poland. He declared that a
similar decision had - to be made
then. Professor Leach started the
discussion by first enumerating
certain facts concerning the -occurrences
of the day. First, he
stated that the North Atlantic Alliance
appeared to be shattered
due to the British and French decision
to oppose American policy
in the-: Middle ,Bast. During the
day the British and French had
announced that they intended to
pursue a policy of war. This statement
was made without the consultation
of the United States. This
marked the first time since World
War I that the United States was
not in. accord with Britain and
France.
A very important fact Professor
Leach brought out about the United
States position, and one that
was perhaps startling to the audience
was that the United States
at this time was standing with
Gorewltz
Russia against our allies in the
Security Council. For Britain and
France had vetoed the United
States' declaration for a cease
fire.
A natural question arose in the
minds of those gathered in Howell*
Hall as to why Israel had acted
as she had. Prof. Leach's theory
was that Israel had -acted in
collusion with Britain and France
for the /purpose of regaining the
Suez Canal. He went on to show
that certain events verified this
theory. Such events citfed were the
present veto of Britain and '."ranee
against the United States and their
veto of anything condemning Israel
unless a condemnation of Egypt
were also included. The statement
of Moilet of France that he had a
diplomatic secret which Intimated
of something dramatic in the Near
East before the end of the year
also shows probable collusion.
Prof. Leach also stated that Israel
has at present more French
arms than the United States had
thought; they possessed.
Before opening the meeting for
questions from the audience, Prof.
Leach made one last statement. He
maintained that our only hope was
based on Britain and France winning
a decisive victory in a minimum
of time, provided that Russia
does not intervene.
A reflection might be made as
to the unusually large group at
this Political Science Club meeting.
Unfortunately, it was certain
that this rare occurrence was
caused by the students' apprehension
concerning the conditions in
the Middle East, and not by a
sudden outburst of political interest
on the Alfred Campus.

Would you like to see a Thruway
Conference in football?
Bill Clark of the Syracuse Herald-
Journal made a proposal of this
sort October 24 in the sports 8£ction
of his paper. It isn't as fantastic
as it might sound. I believe
Alfred would be for it. The other
schools mentioned probably woudn't
want it but it's worth a try.
In the area between Albany and
Buffalo there are 11 football playing
colleges of more or less equal
potential and ability. Although thtey
aren't playing each other right now
there are enough common opponents
now to make comparisons.
There are both weak and powerful
teams in the group but there
would be enough balance in such
an arrangement for a heathy conference.
Suggested schools for the group
would be Alfred, Hobart, Hamilton,
Brockport, Buffalo, Cortland, Rochester,
Union, RPI, Ithaca and St.
Lawrence. The total distance between
all of these schools is only
300 miles and the- Thruway would
be the guiding link in travel time.
A league automaticaly creates
interest in football or in any sport.
The idea of a conference title is
always a healthy thing and the
idea that a team wants to win all
games and not just one big one is
even a better thing
Only one of the eleven schools
seems to be thinking of moving up
to a higher classification. This
would be the University of Buffalo
but the Bulls tried this once before
in the forties and got nowhere.
It is doubtful that such a proposal
would be agreed to by all
parties but if and when such a conference
should be started the competing
teams would only have to
play a portion of their schedule in
conference games.
If such a conference were In effect
this year the standings as of
Saturday morning would show the
following results:
Conf. All Games

ALFRED 4 0 5 0

All last week Saxon fans were
j still buzzing about the UB football
I game. It was one of the best ever.
I'd especially like to take this space
to congratulate tackles John De-
Santis and Don Carlin for the part
they played in the game. After
watching Hymie for four years I'd
say that this was his biggest day in
a Saxon uniform and he's had some
pretty good ones.
The entire team did a great job
and a special tip of the hat goes to
sixty-minute man Jay Abbott. It
was quite a win. As far as I was
concerned it was also very nice to
read of Union's 20-7 win over Hobart.
Volleyball Crown
To Sigma Chi Nu
For the sixth time Sigma Chi
Nu has walked off with the interhouse
volleyball championship.
Following the Sigma girls in the
standings is the Brick, Omicron,
Kruson, Pi Alpha, Theta and the

At a recent WAGB meeting Joan
Snyder and Mary Inskip were
elected to represent the school at
the State Conference to be held
December 31 at New York University.

12 point advantage didn't last long
as Alfred soon was on another
touchdown march.
season Saturday at Brockport Stat«.
Playing before 4700 spectators at
Merrill Field the Warriors romped
to a 25-12 victory over a powerful"
American International College
squad Saturday.
The 26 Alfred points gives the
squad 218 scored for the six games
played and surpasses the old mark
of 213 set by the '51 dub in an eight
game season. This was also the 46th
consecutive game in which the Purple
and Gold have scored.
In the final home clash of the
season the undermanned Warriors
were held scoreless until the thirteen
minute mark »f the clash when
freshman Ralph Talarico scored the
first of his two touchdowns.
After Jay Abbott had recovered
an Ace fumble «fi thè Aces Stt yard
line quarterback Al Moresco tossed
a pass to Charlie Shultz which saw
Shultz interferredi with on the 4
yard stripe. On the next play Talarico
raced thru tackle and the
score was 6-0.
Three minutes later, -on the thirteenth
play of the second quarter
Talarico hit paydirt again. The
Saxon forward wall blocked an attempted
punt by Dick Anastas and
John DeSantis picked the ball out
of the air and raced it from the
AIC 40 to the 17.
AIC was on its own 47 yard line
when Vic Salvucci, the AIC coach's
brother, fumbled away the ball into
the waiting arms of DeSantis.
The' flrgt play from scrimmage saw
Jim Ryan ramble 34 yards to the
13 and runs by Zluchoski and Hartnett
put the ball on the 2. Jimmy
Hartnett then ran over for the
TD on the fourth down. This 18-0
bulge was the margin at the half.
The Yunevichmen got their final
points of the night midway thru
the third quarter when senior John
Zluchoski outdistanced . the entire
American International team on a
49 yard touchdown sprint.
The Warriors got the ball on
their own 22. Passes from Moresco
to Shultz and Zluchoski put AU
on the 44 and á 7 yard Talarico
run set the stage for Zluchoski's
final touchdown for AU on Merrill
Field. A pass from Al Moresco to
Chuck Shultz gave Alfred its 25th
point.
Bob Brennan put the first sixpointer
on the board for AIC late
in the final quarter when he ran
41 yards thru the Warrior second
teám to climax a nine play drive.
The final score of the evening
Confessions of a Cheerleader
by Diana Graesile
"I goofed!" A red-faced co-ed,
clad in the purple and white that
signifies "Cheerleader" on the AU
campus slowly rose from the 40
yard line, checked to see if she
was intact, and crept off the field.
It was Ellen Lipsey, a junior from
Bemus Point. Oh well, things like
that have been known to happen to
cheerleaders—besides, the field was
slippery.
It was a tense moment for the
team—Ithaca was threatening on
Alfred's 15 yard line. It was a "Beat
Yell." The squad was doing fine
until one lass yelled at the top of
her lungs—"beat Cortland!" That
was Diana Graessle, a junior from
Buffalo and squad captain. Well,
things like that have heen known
io happen.
Hey—have a great idea for a
-new cheer. Three girls will yell
•"beat Buffalo" and Georgia will
turn three flips. Tremendous. There
• she goes—one, two, oops . . . anyway,
we beat Buffalo. But you lose
• more cheerleaders that way. In case
you didn't know, that was Georgia
Jones, a junior from Sigma Chi.
i The squad has a number of
cheers. There's one in particular
that requires three weeks of extensive
training in the 25 yard dash
for Duke Rodemoyer—it's the "Sax-
«on Fight." Then there's the cheer
the squad worked on for two practice
sessions and finally got down
pat. It was a revision of the "Triple
A" We were all set to do it—
only, half the squad started it the
old way. How it ended, no one
seems to know.
On top of that, Dick Zodikoff
almost lost his life when the nine
girls on ,the squad came thundering
down the side-lines on a "fight,
team, fight" ,at the Ithaca game.
Dick's okay now, but the front girl
is still a litttle disturbed.
It's a great feeling when, there
you are, all lined up to do a terrific
"Team Yell"—your spacing
is perfect and the head girl claps
her hands—you're about to begin,
and—the band starts paying. Well,
those things happen.
Ever get the strange feeling that
eyes were staring at you—about 3,
000 pairs of eyes? And there you
are, in front of all those eyes, trying
to coax a few loud cheers from
the mouths that are connected with
most of those eyes. Sometimes you
think you're talking to yourself,
and, most of the time you are. But
things like that . . .
Cheerleading is fun—it may be
dry, it may be wet; it may be hot,
it may be cold; you may be in
snow up to your ears or mud up to
your ankles, but—you're there, and
cheerleading is fun!
