AnEND BULL SESSIONS Sponsored By ARGUS BONUS FOR VETERANS BULL SESSION TOPI|: VOL. 1 OCTOBER 27, 1947, BUFFALO, NEW YORK NUMBER 4 Tuesday Marks 25th Anniversary For Chancellor Capen As UB Head Twenty-five years ago tomorrow, Chancellor Samuel P. Capen Was invested as chancellor of the University. During this quarter of a century. Chancellor Capen has built the University into one of the foremost educational institutions in the nation. When inaugurated as the ninth chancellor of the Univer sity, Chancellor Capen set forth the jpciom which has guided the University since that time: “There are 586 colleges and universities in the United States. -A11 are more or less committed to a single plan. Most of them are awed by agencies built up to enforced a mechanical standardization, re strained by traditions from em barking oh new ventures. ‘‘Has the U n iversity of Buf falo the courage to be different- front the other 585? If my col leagues, and the citizens of this community say ‘yes,’ a univer sity may ^ developed here that will challenge nation-wide at tention. Nothing could more surely establish the leadership of the University of Buffalo among the institutions of the land.’ Many Changes In the 25 years elapsing since the Chancellor’s investiture, th e “cabbage patch’’ on Main Street has undergone m any changes. iMMfc first of these was the e stab lishm ent of the School d f ^ u s i- ►,>.®Admialstration in 1PI27, the' chool of Education in 1931, the chool of Social 'Work in 1935 the G raduate’ School of ' and Science in 1939. jPjther im provement accom- _Jished under the leadership of Chancellor Capen include the reorganization of the School of ^ Law, arid the enlargem ent of , th e library facilities which with the gift of the late Thomas B. Lockwood provided the Univ ersity With- one of the foremost libraries in the country. (Continued on Page 3) Teh OHet Pih-.„aK«ia For Mew Alma H aler Members of the 'Veterans Club have become concerned w ith the lack of good cheering songs on our campus. The Club IS offering a $15 cash prize to the w riter of a new Alma Mater, and a new cheering song for our athletic teams. Entries will be judged by the student body. New songs should be subm it ted to the V eterans Club Office on the third floor of ' Norton. Students Must Lead Move For Dormitories In an interview tvith editors of the ARGUS, Chancellor Capen expressed interest in the problem of dormitories on the UB campus. TBe fhllowing facts are a portion of the picture of the possibilities of a program for dormatories. Dormitories have long been w anted on this campus, but there have been many difficult ies involved' wfiich have fru strated all attem p ts in the past. W hen the University moved to its present location on Main St. there were fpur buildings, the Biology building, Hayes Hall, Smence Hall and the animal ho^se, formerly county proper ty, which were available for use. Even then, w ith such inade quate facilities, a full investiga tion of the problem was con ducted. It was proposed that either the Science or the Biol ogy building be used for the housing of women, inasmuch as the University f61t that they should assume some respons ibility in housing women, rather than let them seek rooms about the city Problem Studied It Wfifr-4fihnd that only student: ■raariher. Investigate Cafeteria Prices One of the age-old gripes of ihe students on campus has been the prices of food served in the cafeteria. It has been claimed that the cafeteria is not giving the best service possible nor are the prices in line with similar student and commercial cafeterias in other parts of the. city. This may or may not be true. The ARGUS does not intend giving an opinion in this important mat ter without due consideration. Therefore, we pro pose that a committee composed of members of the various student groups on the campus be organized to investigate this matter. The only fair way to arrive at a decision is to compare the service and prices of conunercial, in dustrial, and school cafeterias throughout the city. Many factors will have to be considered. We do npt intend going into this investigation with the idea that the cafeteria is being unfair. It may well be that they are doing the best job possible, and if so, we will gladly-publish this fact. Members of various organizations have already indicated their desire to work on this inquiry. We hope that many individuals will join with us in -this venture,^ A notice will appear announcing the first meet ing of this group, probably tomorrow or the next day. The only way to settle gripes is. to examine the facts. Join with us in doing this. could was found, fi investigation units could be]operated fylly w ithout iirain. on Univer sity funds. The demand was not great, so the plan was dropped at that time. Several times during the fol lowing years, the question was brought up for discussion be fore the Council, but funds were (Continued on Page 4) UB Sfudents Meet Freedom Train November 7th The University of Buffalo will join with the city of Buf falo in reminding the students o f their heritage of freedom when the Freedom Train arrives on November 7. UB’s part of this program will be a convocation to be held at the sixth hour on November 5th. At this convocation, a com m ittee headed by Leeland Jones and including Avery Smith Gene Tyne, Charles Hansen ■Winfield Burley. Paul Plierl, Henry Rose and Edwin Steffan. will preside. Chancellor Capen will be the main speaker. Music will be provided by the UB band. When the Freedom Train arrives at Central Terminal November 7, a committee of 75 students from UB will be on hand with other civic groups and representatives. H a lf of the c^jmmittee. will be from student organizations and the other h alf front the departments. Dr. John T. Horton is the faculty member on the campus committee. State Bonus Is Topic For First Argus-Sponsored Butt* Session “Should a State bonus for veterans be given?’’ This will be the subject for discussion at the first of the ARGUS-spons- ored bull sessions this week. This topic was chosen by the paper inasmuch as the question will soon ^e put to a vote in the coming elections. ----------- '-------------------------------------------------------- -------------- A member of the faculty will be on hand to help in leading the discussion Of this controv-- ersial subject. Though many of the veterans on the campus may chaTenge the word “con troversial.’’ the fact remains that strong organized groups are fighting this measure on the basis that it will cause an ad ditional cigarette tax and work further hardships on the al ready over-taxed population of the state. ARGUS bull sessions are planned so that both sides of the question under debate will receive proper reeognition. However, this will not entail long lectures, for the whole spi rit of the meetings is to be in- r formal with most of the discus sion coming from the floor. As mentioned in a previous editorial, ARGUS will propose ithe best tojiic for discussion chosen from among those sub m itted to this paoer. It is to be your meeting, .so make it a point to attend and give your views. Tfii-s week’s meeting v/ill be held around the middle plf the week, time and place to be an nounced by circulars and an- Flierrs. Beard Helps Send Band to Wayne Paul Flierl, the beard-growing editor of the BEE, suddenly be gan to lose his facial fur a t high noon on Thursday, when he put lli's curly black beard ' on sale at 50 cents a clip. Fullback Ed die Mittelsteadt. was the first man to flip a half-dollar intb the box and remove a lock of Flierl’s wool. The purpose of the whole' thing? To raise some cash to help get the UB band to the Wayne game. Unfortunately, the b eard was w o rth only $15.91 as the students were frighten ed either by their natural tim idity or a lack of funds. The UB band, headed and di rected oy G erry M.orx, again de m o n strated its all-out efforts to help make the extra-curricular endeavors of our school succes- ful. Last week, the school pro vided bus transportation to the Alfred game for the band, where their fine playing and cheering, together w ith the enthusiasm of the delegation of U.B. fans, gave abundant encouragement to the team in its victory, This week, however, University authorities round it iinpossible to finance this unscheduled journey for the band. -Undaunted by this, band mem ber W arren Robin- Son organized a campaign to sol icit contributions from the stu dent body, faculty, the foot ball team, fraternities, and other campus organizations. A sum over $200 was raised, and the band members chipped in the additional sum necessary to pay the bu.s fare of $280. This trip was not merely a nouncement.s. Morion Cafe Complies With Baling on Food Norton Hall’s Cafeteria’s serv ing of meat courses last meat- less-Tuesday was the source , of muck spirited criticism frorn the student body and faculty. To set the record straight the Argus obtained a Norton cafe teria menu for ,last Tuesday and checked it against the require ments of President Trum an’s Citizens’ Food Committee of joyful iunket, but the members. of the. band willingly made this which Charles Luckman is personal sacrifice because they felt that their support at Wayne was a worthwhile contribution to the team ’s bid for an unde- (Conliniicd on Page 3) Civil Service Openings Available The National Institute of Public Affairs has informed Dean Julian Park of the College of Arts & Science of openings in the U.

Norton Cafeteria offered liver and bacon: spaghetti with meat sauce made from ham burger for its dinners. For its sandwiches, hamburger, liver sausage and bologna were served. The Buffalo R estaurant Asso ciation informed the ARGUS that restaurants are allowed to serve certain meat dishes on meatless-Tuesday, even though the particular restaurant has volunteered its co-operation to the conservation program. The permissible m eat dishes include liver, kidney, beef tongue and brains. Ham burger is perm issi ble if 'the serving of ham b u rger is essential to the prosperity of the restaurant. '■ The R e staurant Association told the ARGUS that the deci sion upon the serving of bacon has not had a clear ruling.
