PAGE TWO THE FIAT LUX, ALFRED, N. Y. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1943THE FIAT LUXAlfred University's Student Papergroup as a whole.The problem of student government, its functioning and its placein college life has been bothering both students and faculty members.Many times within the last six weeks the questions have been asked—•41 Of what value is the Student Senate as a law making body at Alfred?"—"What are. the limitations on the power of the Women's StudentGoverning Board ?"—"What are the cpnstitutional relationshipsbetween the Student Senate and the WSG?"—"How well do theseorganizations actually express student opinion?"No one of these questions can be answered without carefulthought and thorough consideration of the many sides to the problem.No one person is qualified to discuss all,phases of the issue. No onebull session or collegiate lab is sufficiently well organized to discuss,without prejudice and misplaced emphasis, the entire situation.Because of these factors, a focal point for logical discussion isneeded to clarify certain issues and to make known the differing viewpointswhich are held by the various students and faculty members.Such a focal point is being offered to the Alfred student body andfaculty next Sunday evening by the Alfred Christian Fellowship, inthe form of a panel discussion and open forum which will be led bystudent organizational heads and 1 one member of the administration.It has long been the tradition of the ACF to act as a soundingBoard and to provide for this type of discussion. In the past, severalrather tense situations have ben alleviated because the problems athand were squarely faced by everyone concerned. The present unrestabout the values and place of student government may well findthe beginnings of mitigation on Sunday night.CooperationLike most other college activities, the Fiat Lux has begun to feelthe effects of a world war. Decreased enrollment has affected boththe staff organization .and the financial income of the paper; warnecessitated advertizing curtailments have cut the budget further;labor shortage at the source of printing has presented an additionalproblem.In spite of these difficulties we of the editorial board of the Fiatfeel that the paper must continue to go to press in as nearly the normalfashion as possible, for it is one of the few activities which havebeen in existence continually over a long period of time. In orderthat it shall, we have asked the cooperation of the members of thefaculty in an effort to obtain an income sufficient to cover the-minimumpublication costs. We are also asking the cooperation of the entirestudent body and the faculty as well in understanding our positionif certain unprecedented curtailments seem necessary."With this understanding and cooperation we will do all possibleto maintain the Fiat as the weekly publication of Alfred Universityand as the Voice of Alfred.* * • * *V (ACP)—When John D. Tennant, vice-president of a lumber company,testified at a war labor hearing recently at Portland, Ore., hefelt that WLB was too much involved in legal technicalities.He told Chairman Wayne L. Morse, WLB member representingthe public, that the hearing would be simpler "if you would sendevery lawyer in this room out.""You're stabbing at my union now," retorted Morse.Morse is dean of the University of Oregon Law School.• * • * *(ACP)—The two missing links in professor A.

Besides, for a lily whitehero he has certainly left a bloodytrail behind him.• • • •On the Congressional scene there recentlyappeared an Austin-WadsworthNational Service Bill whose main purposeis to draft labor. Well, there arecertain advantages to having a strictcontrol over labor resources, but underpresent circumstances, the injus 1 -tices of the A W N S Bill far outweighany of the advantages. I can see a"draft labor bill" only if an originalidea of the American Legion is> alsocarried out. And that idea is to draftthe means of production in time of warin order to prevent the possibility ofwar profiteering. So, before A. and W.can get my support for their type oflegislation, they had better balancethe scales.After Glaser's column of last week,I must announce that he has finallylulu that obrCahit no. 30.

Paramount took a book byHemingway, gathered a fairly brilliantcast, took loads of time and millionsof dollars, mixed them togetherand turned out one 'of the biggeststiffs of the year. We were forced tosee F W T B T because we had seenall the other pictures and we had tokill a few hours before train time.We had been forewarned, but we suspecteda slight exaggeration- in the reviewsthat we read. However, we discoveredthat the reviewers had exercisedgreat control in their articles.Paramount took most of the antifascistattitude out of the affair, wouldn'teven dare to use the word fascist.It showed the loyalists in a bloodthirstyscene which was 1 obviouslythrown in merely to discredit thosewho fought for their Republic. Andthe worst that is attributed to thefascists is the mistreatment of theheroine.Casting Ingrid Bergman as Mariawas a touch of genius, however, becauseat times it seemed worthwhilemerely to watch her and imagine herin better surroundings. As for longhairCooper, he's just a slow drip inthis picture and was thrown in onlybecause he's box office stuff.To counteract the effect of F W T BT I'll have to see "Watch on theRhine" again.

It proved to meetthe approval of the trainees for bothendurance and roughness.Pushball Is played with a rubberball inflated to six feet in diameter.The object of the game is to push theball over the opponent's goal line. Thegame is played on a regulation footballfield, 100 yards long.Attention—SchaparelliWhen I was getting ready to cometo Alfred I wondered what kind ofclothes I would need. I asked myself,"Do Alfred girls dress like other collegegirls?" Deciding that they probablydid, I planned my wardrobe after"What the Weil-Dressed College GirlWears."As soon as I arrived in town Iknew at once that I would have towrite to Schaparelli and tell her that,in planning a college girl's wardrobe,she had left out a very importantgarment—jeans.

Can you people not sim-tooplify away from someone else. Andit?once she has The Man, she hangs onto him with a fierce possessiveness,says ESQUIRE.This is the point where womenreally make fools of themselves overmen, HIM continues. It's a brassknuckledattitude reminiscent of theStone Age and, when displayed overmen they don't particularly care about,In spite of these arguments 1 , HIMwinds up his case with two significantand familiar statements that have concludedthe masculine side of this debatefor many years. He says, I'lladmit I don't understand women," andfollows it shortly with the statement,"men can't get along without women."HER, Jn presenting her side of thedebate, follows up and takes advantageof these admissions. Men don'tunderstand women, she says. If theydid, they would want them less andget them more. But they don't. Sothey make fools of themselves.There are two basic reasons for this,says HER in ESQUIRE. First becausethey are logical, and try totreat love as an engineering problem.... which anybody knows it is not. Second,because they talk and act bromides.They boast, from locker roomto bar, about their "technique" but the"technique" is based on phrases theyheard in the movies, and on sincerity,they rate a minus zero.Outside of the small group of menwhose "helpless innocence" makes adunce cap look so good on them thatwomen yearn to "mother" them, mostNellie Hashn spoke on the economicaspects of a world union.

Usually he makes afool *of himself twice over, says ES-QUIRE, first by idolizing the girl toomuch and second, when the glitterhas faded, by condemning her tooquickly.Other types are listed by HER inquick succession: The man who fallsin love once in his* life and makes theword "fool" a thing of beauty; theman'who takes out both a girl and herroom-mate and wonders why there'sno.secrecy about his advances in eithersector. And lastly, there's the I-Want-To-Get-Married type. He proposesaround the fifth date, depending uponthe latitude. He seeks comfort in patterns,and the only one he knows ishome marriage, fireside, and heavyinsurance premiums. He will be dys*-peptic at forty and taking rumba lessonshe doesn't want at fifty. He is afool, because his urge for straightjacketsecurity is much stronger thanhis discrimination.And what can be done about thissad case and all the others?
