CAULDRON Still Lives! Needs Transfusion of 2000 Buyers to Becpver “The CAULDRON isn’t dead . , . yet, said Stu Hample, edi tor, Friday afternoon. , According to Mr. Hample, some of the CAULDRON staff favor going'ahead with the sale of .the humor magazine without the necessary advertising. Mr. Hample pointed out that at the present time the students seem to deplore the lack of a humor magazine on the campus but in view of past sales he can not go ahead on the assumption that the present issue will be completely subscribed. “2000 copies would have to be sold, said the editor, “if the CAULD RON, with its present advertis ing, isn’t to be a financial fail ure.” “The material for the maga zine is all prepared. It is mere ly a question of financing the cost of the magazine,” Mr. Ham ple continued. Ed.

A dormitory committee of the Board of Managers is now con sidering the matter and plans an open meeting tomorrow eve ning at 7:30 p. m. in Norton auditorium to which all people interested in the erection of housing facilities on campus are not only invited but are urged to attend. Robert Evans of the Board said that fundamental to the committee's plans are two ideas: First, that financing ot dormi tories should be on a self- liquidating basis. This meth(fd, traditionally opposed by some of the “powers that be,” in volves a long-term mortgage to be gradually paid off from the profits derived from the rental of rooms, fhe conservative, but basically pessimistic view taken by the University in past years has been to attempt nothing of this sort without first having the finances already available. This, in effect, is a denial of the accepted practice of the vast majority of businessmen and landlords in this countiy. (Continued on Page 4) UB Bed Cross Tronpe To Entertain Patients Patients of Meyer Memorial Hospital and students of the Crippled Children’s School will be entertained by the UB Red Cross Chapter Entertainment Troupe, Miss Lois Chassin, Chapter chairman, recently announced. Two shows will be given to morrow at Meyer Hospital, one in the auditorium and a special performance in the Psychiatric Ward. On Wednesday the troupe w’ill entertain at a^ party for the crippled children. All three performances will be under the direction of Warren Cossit, chief of the entertainment troupe. Miss Chassin reported that Dr. Osborne, chief psychiatrist at the hospital, in accepting the troupe’s offer to present the show, characterized the show as ‘■'an, extremely beneficial type of psychiatric therapy.” In the troupe are Dick Wil cox who will present a new Irish style song and daftce: Ian MacLean and Edward Lalui^, acrobatic and comedy top ^ n c - ers; a chorus of 18’ voic^. rected by Robert Shaffer; Tl’an- the,entertainment iel Kublitz whoso''specialty is pantomine; ar chorus line of six girls under the direction of Jeanne Richards; and Stu Ham ple, caricaturist. Sanford C. Kulick is in charge of music and Eli H. Frankel is master of cerem'onies. June M. WuIIen and Edgar A. . 1 ^ larles are yocaliets. Leeland Jones Jr., President of the Board of Managers of Nor ton Union, in an address given before the UB Lackawanna Club at Hotel LackawaniRi, described Comptroller George Crofts as being “unfair and unmindful of the needs of students.” This address marks the first time that a student body president has taken an open stand in voicing the general opinion of students. He cited the administration's dual system as “a two-headed monster,” and called upon students to remember that as alumni they will get their chances in the University Council. The dual system gives the Comptroller and the Chancellor equal power in their respective fields of business and educational administra tion. Accoixiing to Lee Jones, this has led many students to “blame Chancellor Capen for conditions wlien the blame should properly fall on Comptroller Crofts.’’ In speaking on the dormitory situation, Jones said, \Convince Mr. Crofts and you will get dorms, but,\ he added, “ycu've get about as much chance as a snowball in hell. The credit system 'which our Economics Dept, tells us is utilized in nine- tenths of all big business is shunned by our administration.” “True enough,” he said, “dur budget is balanced and we are out of debt, but also we are failing to meet the needs of a large student body.” Mr. Jones said that he had been asked by many students about the propaganda in city papers citing our cafeteria as a model food center. He stated that “students know prices are too high, and Mr. Crofts knows it, too.” He added that “it will take more than flowery words praising a deplorable situation to fool Buffalo’s students.” He further stated that if the cafe teria was- not making money, it was because of poor manage ment or high prices, not because of any profit-sharing plan. He asked that the cafeteria be placed under the Board of Managers, just as the rest of Norton Union. Then only, can students have a democratic voice in determining the costs of their food. In commenting on the .book store, Mr. Jones said that it is a monopoly. “Students,” he said, “will not get a break in purchasing books or supplies until competition is permitted on campus, or the bookstore be comes a co-op.” In citing other cases where the administration failed the students, he stated that Law School students would “be blind before graduation, if decent lighting isn’t put into the Eagle St. barn.” The Law School Student Council requested that brighter bulbs or more fi.xtures be installed in the Law Library. In speaking of this, the student leader said, “As usual, a rea sonable request of students was placed in Mr. jCrofts’ file 13.\ He said Mr. Crofts could let us have ice-skating behind Nor ton, but it would ruin the grass. “In getting plumbing work done for Norton, we are oona- polled to use Mr. Crafts’ Uni versity plumbers, even though we could have secured our owk Evans Announces Prom Committees Robert J. Evans has an nounced the various committee chairmen for the Junior Prom which will be held in the main ballroom of the Hotel Statler, Mareh 6, 1948, from 10:30 to 3:30. » An impartial committee, headed by Eb Medlicott, will judge the entries in the contest to select the most outstanding dance band in western New York.
