WANTED BULL SESSIONS If there is one thing notably lacking on this campus, it is a regularly scheduled hull session between the students and the faeulty. Most students have llteir own views about their cur riculum arid how the i>roee.ss of education is being conducted at this University. The faculty, for the most part, are interested in what the students are thinking, but tbey cannot adequately determine sliidenf opinions merely in the classroom. The ARGUS proposes that a regular meeting be established ^at. Norton ilirron onfe-eai'h m:ek for t he pin-pn.e of dinennfling eatnpus matters. Invited to these mcctirigs will be one or two members of the faeulty and any students interested in a good, lively discussion. The ARGUS will propo.se the question .each week. We Will he interested prim arily in matters of curriculum, ediieational methods, national and world affairs, but we will be directed by your wishes in this matter. First of all, we projtose that the Report of the Curriculum Committee, published last year, hut which was never brought to the attention of the students, he discussed. One recommendation of this committee, for example, was the establishment of inter departmental- eourses, wherever possible. Such courses would' be something in the nature of survey courses, and would be given jointly by members of several departments in an effort to show clearly the great interrelation that exists between the various fields of human endeavor, however unrelated they might ajipear at first glance. Much greater understanding of each others problems on the part of the studentk and the faculty should result from such meetings. Watch for the inauguration of these discussion follow ing our next issue. In the meantime we would like to hear from you. The Argus would like your opinion on this ]dan and any «|uestions you may have to suhinit for u.se at these hull sessions. W e are anxious that this plan he successful for the henefit of the students and the University at large.' CAMPUS COMMENTS By William Stenljel Question for this edition: What is your opinion of Norton Union? William J. Roche, Jr., En gineering. The price in the cafe teria are not exceptionally high, but I thinx that they are not low enough in considera tion of the fact that , the cafe teria is run on a non-profit basis. I also believe that the game room facilities should have been paid for by now and and a reduction in price would be appropriate. H u b ert M. Crean, Sph., A&S. I think the facilities should be enlarged, especially the lunch room. Compared to the tigjne between classes some of us have, you have to wait too long- in line. I also think more com fortable chairs should be put in the We^t Room. Jeanne Richards, Soph,, A- &S. Well, I'll adm it it’s “clique- biit it’.s only natural, for the Prof. John I. Sewall To Head Tutorial Instruction At U. B. ★ THE ★ VET SPY W H Y A NICKLE As with England, our financial structure is still in a condition whi<li leaves inueli to be desired. Our present advertising does not permit us to give this issue- away a'e wc did our first eilition wliieli was paid for by your kind •support. In considering tbe publication of this issue we bad two alternatives: first, to give it away, and by so doing leave ourselves eonipletcly without funds for the next Monday edition, or, secondly,’sell tbe issue with tlib hope tbiit you, tbe student body and the faculty, will support our venture tbroiigli your piireliases until we find it possible to again revert to free eireulation. Unlike tbe BFF. we receive at present no finanei.al support from the Student Activities Fund. Further, we need national advertising, and that involves red tape and delays. Siij)port us now when we need your help so tba't we may offer you a bigger and better paper in the future without charge. CALENDAR Mon., Oct. 13 Chess Club Meeting—Norton A n n e x ......... 2:30 Tues., Oct. 14 Dance Instruction—Norton Auditorium . . . 2:30 , 7:00 people who regularly partici pate in Norton Union activities will tend to form separate groups. Norton Union can be a lot of fun if the students will make a conscientious effort to get into its activities. J. Donald Raynor, Sr. School of Ed. I call it the “white- elephant of the campus. Al though I am a veteran and do not pay the fee myself, I think that the benefits received from the Union are' out of pro portion to the amount charged each student. ■Valerie Vreland, Soph. A&S. I think Norton Union is the only place on the campus that fosters any school spirit. It af fords students an opportunity to make , new acquaintances and to further their extra-cur riculum activities. Donald L. Perry; Jr.,- Bus. Ad. I like the place! I feel that I have acquired a good portion of my education there, not in the way you think, but through discussion of my courses ana the m aterial ir.wlved, with other students. Mary G. Buscaglia, Jr.. A&S. I sincerely think that Norton Union has excellent possiblities as a recreational center for the students. However, the fact that it is sadly in need of a change in management, in other words, less monopolistic control, must be corrected. Alfred Steiner, Jr. A&S. I think something should be done In the cafeteria, both in prices and facilities for speeding the line trough. It serves its pur pose as a social center; a place to meet people and relax. Shirley Clabeaux,- Soph.,' A&S. Because the University of Buffalo is a “city college”, Nor ton Union has the added re sponsibility of centralizing that it has met this situation student activity, and I think with great success.

The overflow crowd necessitated the moving of the place of meeting from the East Room in Norton Union, to Foster Hall. At the next meeting Dr. Osborn, psychiatrist a n d - a member of the U. B. Medical School faculty, will counsel on FiamUy Form ation.” Chancellor Samuel P. Capen. Mr. Sewall will continue in his role as chairman o f j h e A rt Departm ent at the University. He^ is a graduate of Williams. College and has done post graduate work at New York University H arvard University and in Europe. A fter teaching at Wellesley, Stephens, Elmira and Harvard, he joined the UB faculty as an art lecturer in 1937. In 1938 he became head of the department. As a member of the Curricu lum Committee of the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences, Mr. Sewall wrote most of the co,mmittee’s report, which was unanimously adopt ed by the faculty last year. During his recent leave of absence, he. worked on a book dealing w ith the history and criticism of art. Dr. Perry, who for the past' 11 years has - directed the tutorial program, chose to re sign because of his increased responsibilities as chairman of the English Department, A fter a six weeks rest we again bring our crystal ball down from the top shelf, dust it off arid imiriediately we see a hoarde of students-converging on the Vets’ Ad Office waving checks. No, gang, you w ere not gypped on your Septem ber sub sistence checks. Subsistence for the 29th and 30th of Septem ber w ill'be paid in the checks that you will receive about Novem ber 1. ' W hat’s this? Rice, old shoes and wedding bells? Yes,' some of the gang did get m arried this summer, so a word to them. I n order to 'g e t your sub sistence adjusted to your m ar ried status, it is necessary for you to bring a copy of your m arriage license to the Vets’ Ad Office. Also, note that the adjusted subsistence dates from the day the claim is filed and** N O r from the day you were married. ■ Anthony T. Balint and Marcel K. Newman have been appointed associate professors in the School o:^ Egineering by Chancellor Samuel P. Capen Prof B.alint is a graduate of the University of Technical Sci ences. Budapest, Hungary, and the University of Michigan. For the past three years he has been engaged in research on small gas turbines, electrical gauges and instrum ents. Prof. Newman, a graduate of the Polytechnic Institute of Han over Germany, the University of Kentucky and the University of Pittsburgh, has been as sociate professor of mechanical engineering at Syracuse Uni versity since. January. Dean A. Bertram Lemon of the School of Pharmacy was recently elected president of the New York State Board of Pharmacy. » » • • Dr. H arry M. Gehman, head of the mathematics depart ment, has been named secre tary-treasurer of the Math ematical Association of Amer ica. * d • '\The G reater University of Buffalo,” a brochure containing a history of the university, was recently published by the Public Relations office. Stu dents m ay obtain a free copy by calling at the Public Relo tions office in-Crosby HaU. On Registration Day it was again apparent that you have not memorized your C-Number. About tw o -thirds of you failed to state your ’ C -Numbers and this has caused a delay in pro cessing your subsistence. O ther than the failure to fill- in your C-Numbers, registra tion, in general, ran smoothly. T h e U n iversity’s V eterans’ Education Service is to be con gratulated on , the speed of pro cessing the papers. This ex peditious action may make it possible for earlier payment of subsistence. The crystal sphere shows a group of new vets on the campus. If any of you have transfefred to UB from a school out of New York State, east of Geneva, you should see the Training Officer x.e: the loca tion of your records im mediately. Again we are going to point out to you that jt is to your advantage to look at the bul letin board just outside of Room 12 in Crosby. This is the only 'place on the campus that the Vets’ Ad has for posting Cheek this board at le'ast once notices concerning ex-GIs. a week or you may miss some thing of importance. Some of you fellows may pride yourselves on your sig natures but actually those sig natures are working against you. When you s'gri a form with a signature that can't be deciphered, how -do you expect the V.A. to process your claim? Wise-up, Joes. Incidently, some of the claims f i l ^ on registra tion day are going to be late in being processed for this reason. —;---------- Write Song—Win Cash A campaign for ’new pOR songs for the university ancUfor its athletic teams has befen = started by the Veterans Club. The veterans - f ^ l that school spirit will be stronger on campr- us if more rousing songs were available, possibly if av new Alma M ater ^ w.ere adopted. Many stddents have agreed that our repertoire of cheering songs is small, and that our present Alma Mater lacks m any of the qualities , a 'good school ' song needs'. To stim ulate local talent in to working on new material, cash prizes will be offered for ■new songs that will serve the. need of arousing spirit and sentiment. Songsmitlu j are in vited' to subm it mariuscripts at Norton Counter. All copyright*, oif course, will be re:qoected.
