Refflember Exchange Dales Sepl. 1 — Sepl. 18 ^ THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO A RGU/S V Back The Balb Againsf Niagara Universily VOL 1 SEPTEMBER 2nd, 1947, BUFFALO, NEW YORK NUMBER 1 \I4 BUFFALO PLAN” GOES TO WISCONSIN Bulls Meet Niagara Eagles At Civic Stadium, Sept. 19, Under Lights, With Powerlul Team A natural upstate rivalry will be renewed Friday evening Septem ber 19 when the University of Buffalo and Niagara Univer sity collide for the first time since 1934 under the lights of Civic Stadium in the opening game of Buffalo's 1947 football season. The Bulls will definitely be “up” for this ninth renew al of the series begun in 1897, as they have been picked as two-touch down underdogs. Niagara’s Purple Eagles have won the last five games in the series and hold an edge of 5 wins against 3 defeats. In their 1934 meeting, Niagara trium p h ed 27 to 0. When Coach Jim P e e 11 e* initiated practice on August 19, he was greeted by a turnout of 80 players, most of whom are veterans of last year’s eleven. As there are several capable candidates for every position on the squad, a definite starting team has not yet been selected. It has been difficult for the coaches to hold full-scale prac tice sessions because, as Coach Peelle said, “Many of the boys are tied up with sum mer classes and can’t get around to practice until long a fter the 2:30 starting time. It may be necessary for us to start practice later in the day and work out until 7 P. M.” The Blue and W hite’s, second post-war eleven is the oldest and heaviest in the University’s athletic history. The six-team squad will average approx im ately 23.7 years of age, and 188 pounds. There will be more color too, for the team will be issued brand new blue and w h ite uniforms and flashy w h ite helm ets a fter the first cut in the roster. The coaching staff refused to tem p t the fates by making pre dictions, b u t has .ample reason to look forward to another’ good year with the return of so many starts from last year's high- scoring team. Line Coach Fritz Febel called his boys “big and inexperienced” but they will be well primed to stop Guido Fil- icetti, Niagara's ace halfback and leading contender for up state scoring honors. One of the chief question m arks confronting Coach Peel- le's staff is w h e ther or not three outstanding line men, former local All-High stars, will he able to meet the scholastic require ments of the University. On (Continued on Page 4) Final Summer Session Dance Seplember 12 The final Summer Session dance and pep rally for the UB-Niagara football game will be held Friday evening Sep tem b er 12 in Norton Union. Paul Frierl, chairm an of the dance, and Irving Haag, in charge of publicity, have an nounced that decorations and intermission activities will herald the return of ■he t foot ball season. Music will be furnished, by Bill Raikin’s orchestra, and Carol Castle has promised to have several of her “Salt and Peppers,” versatile. University cheerleaders, present. Dancing will be from 9 to 12. Admission; one Norton card per couple. UB Gels New Road And Parking Areas Most of the road and parking improvements under construc tion this sum mer will be ready for fall traffic. The new park ing lot is expected to accommo date 500, cars, approximately as many as the regular lot. The last row of cars will be a single row to provide direct exit rather than a circuitous route around the lot. Im provement is also proposed for the back road to Bailey Ave. Either a new road will be laid or the present one will be scraped and the holes filled w ith blacktop. Because of the new parking facilities now available it is ex pected that parking on Main St and certain of the side streets will be prohibited w ith the advent of the fall semester. No parking will be allowed on the campus roads or fields, since such obstacle present a fire hazard and ham p er snow re moval. As soon as the concrete on the road before Hayes is sufficiently hardened, four inches of black top will be applied to complete the drive. This road-will eventually extend by the en gineering building according to one of two plans now under con sideration — either around the back o f the building to facilitate delivery, or in front. However, construction on this probably win not commence u n til the rear and side wings of the buildings are complete — p erhaps by next summer. His Lucky Number Raymond C. Betsch is beginning to wonder about the number 1727. Recently, Mr. Betsch, campaigning under a slo gan “A public office is a public trust, ’ received the Republican nomination for Alderman-at-large in Lock- port with a total of 1727 votes. By coincidence, the telephone number and auto licence of his nearest competitor is also 1727. Commenting on the somewhat incongruous po sition of conducting a political campaign while attending college, Mr. Betsch stated that he hopes the experience gained by this association with municipal government will benefit him when he goes to Law School. The nominee is 24 years old and a junior in the ITB School of Business Administration. £dUoAiaL Why A New Paper? \W h en I wan a child, I npako ns a child, I felt as a child, I thought as' a child; now / am become a man, I have put away childish things.\ Attendance at College carries with it the connotation of having “put away childish things.'' ■'This is evident on the campus of this university by the more ■ m a ture attitude of the students. In accordance with the adver tisem ents of a nationally known insurance company, “the future belongs to those who p repare for it.” Most students here at the University of Buffalo are sin cerely preparing for that future. But we do not feel that they are preparing themselves in the best possible m a n n e r — we are not sure that they have all “put away childish things.\ W e realize that conditions in the universities today are very different from those of only ten years' ago. We understand that with larger classes discussion is difficult if not impossible, that there are' not enough trained in structors to conduct discussion groups. However we still con sider the university a type of laboratory in which the student conducts experiments and. more im portant, makes mistakes. To date we have seen few expert ments a ttem p ted on this campus and only the normal number of mistakes, most of which were confined’tO examination papers. On campus at this time are two student publications: one. The Cauldron, a literary maga zine, and the other, The Bee, masquerading as a weekly paper. Obviously, a literary magazine has its limitations in discussing the “events of the day.'’ That the weekly paper does not fulfill its function as a medium for the dissemination of news of student interest, does not promote itself as a means of expre'ssing student opinion, and does not provide a d ^ u a t e coverage of cultural activities is a fact regretted by most stu dents on campus. Therefore, the need on this campus for an independent, progressive. liberal newspaper being established, it is proposed that this paper. The University of Buffalo ARGUS, be founded upon the following platform: 1— The publication of any news o f interest to the student body whether campus, com munity, national, or interna tional in scope. 2— To p r o V i d e an effective medium in the liberal tradition of the University of Buffalo for the expression of diverse campus views, unhampered by prejudice o r pressure groups. 3— To give a d ^ u a t e co'verage to the fine arts, literature, music and the theatre. , Jones, Lufz, Chassin, Quinn leave To Attend National Meeting at U. of Wisconsin Doctors Nathaniel Cantor, Harold C. Hewitt, and Reginald H. Riegrum are to be nominated to N.S.O. Faculty Advisory Board. Chancellor Capen fully endorses “ Buffalo Plan.” The “Buffalo Plan” w ill be placed before the convention' of the National Student Organization when that bod.v meets at the University of Wisc’onsin Aug. 30 through Sept. 9. Fundam e n tally' the plan is this; the National Student Organization is to be thought of as a copipletely representative body for all the students attending colleges and universities throughout the country. To do this effectively, those in the organization should be only those who have been elected to offices in the student governm ent of their own alma mater. Representatives from other student organizations, such as the A. Y. D., Y. M. C. A, and others, important as their activities are on the campus level, have not been elected by the general student body, and therefore deserve np place in the N. S. O. Chancellor Capen has endor.s- ed the Buffalp Plan w h o leheart edly, and letters have already been sent out to about 800 col leges and universities partic ipating in the N. S. O. to gain their support at the convention. C)ur delegates are: Leland Jones, Carblyn Lutz, Lois Chas sin. and John Quinn. Armed with the Buffalo Plan, they intend to a.ssume' leadership at the convention to show the other colleges and universities o f 'th e Young Prot;n.o.,;»’e Citf- th:.t this V n ivereit, incar.;, to Young PCA Organizes Chapter On UB Campus “There is a need for all per sons to participate in political activity to prevent others from ‘playing our cards’ in the poli tical world ”, said Mr. Alvin W.
