FIGHT TB Buy Christinas Seals VOL. II DECEMBER 6, 1948 BUFFALO, NEW YORK No. 5 International Club Plans Xmas Party In the first weeks of this term a new campus organization was founded in order to unite all stu dents interested in international affairs and for the purpose of stressing the importance of inter national co-operation. Unfortu nately most students seem to feel that this organization is merely a club of foreign students, in which membership is not available to them. This is not so. Anybody interested in taking part in its activities has been in vited by the chairman, Ariano Araujo. Under the guidance of Professor Kurtz of the Department of Romance Languages, the club hopes to develop to a large or ganization, really muting all stu dents interested in international aspects. On Wednesday, December 1st, the club had a regular business meeting for the purpose of or ganizing a Christmas party which is planned for Wednesday, Pe- cember 22nd at the International Institute, 610 Delaware Ave., be tween Allen and North Sts. For this party the offering of inter national dishes and music is planned. The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 8, at 3:30 o’clock in Norton Union. On the agenda is further planning for the Christmas party and for member ship drive. To cover the costs of cultural activities, the Club cheu-ges an initiation fee of 50 cents, and a regular membership fee of 50 cents a term. With the initiation fee membership for the first term is paid for. The members present at the last meeting expressed their hopes to interest a large part of the student body on campus in the Club’s activities. U.B.

ARGUS Staff To Meet There will be a meeting of the ARGUS staff in the office at 3:30 o’clock Tuesday after noon. BE THERE. A Clouded Future Talk about things to come cast ing their shadows beforehand! There is something positively ominous (or pleasant, depending on your major) in a small notice tacked on the Public Relations bulletin board. The notice lists aiumni contributions by depart ments to thel947CentennielFund. Five hmldred and eighty aium. nae. from Arts and Sciences gave $9,060.00. Compare this with the 595 Law alumnae who contributed $46,551.38. . . . 15 people and 37, uOO dollars more! Pharmacy, with 425 people, totaled $8,134.50; 606 Dent Alumnae added $18,305.00 to the total. The most provocative contrast' is in the $8,693.00 contributed by only 200 Business Ad alumnae. Financially at a disadvantage like A.' & S. alumnae, are the 205 Education graduates who gave $1,722.50,\ contrasted with the mere 23 people in Analytic Chemistry who contributed almost as much, $1,219.00. Far in advance of most of the groups are Med aiumnae, 905 of whom gave $104,611.66, or more than $100 each. Let this serve as sufficient notice to Arts and Sciences and £lduca- tion students—enjoy your college days, because it’ll be hard sledding in the future.

SAMs Reorganizing Approximately 30 men attended the smoker for prospective mem bers sponsored by the Alumni of Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity last Tuesday. Jacob Tick, a founder of the now inactive Nu Chapter, ex plained the history of the chapter, which received its charter in 1916. Advantages of affiliation were de scribed by Arnold Rickel. Other alumni present were: Dr. Michael Swados, Norman Ettinger, and Maurice Lutwack, all of whom pledged the support of the alumni Jo the prospective members. An organization committee, composed of Jim Goodman, Ralph Halpern, Harvey'. Schiller, Art Ehas, and Ai Koor, was chosen to get the ball rolling. The successful start of reacti vation proceedings was engineered by Oscar Smukler, who will guide the group through SAM orienta tion. The next meeting of the group will be held tomorrow. Steinberg Lectures Before Concert In cooperation with the Women’s Committee of the Buffalo Phil harmonic Orchestra, Mr. William Steinberg is giving a series talks on the season's concerts. The Tuesday afternoon preceding each concert at 3:00 pan. in the Klein- bans Music Hall, he discusses the music being prepared for the fol lowing week.. These meetings are an excellent example of the type of work that has enabled the versatile Mr. Steinberg to bring usually lethar gic Buffalo to the fore in musical circles. Possessing that rare combina tion of artistic talent and clarity of expression, Mr. Steinberg pre sents a thought provoking back ground against which to consider the coming program. Technical details are at a minimum. In these discussions the conduc tor blends the musical knowledge with a comprehensive understand ing of the historical and psycho logical backgrounds of the com posers, demonstrating how these factors affect his' interpretation of the work. In a recent tall^ Mr. Steinberg explained that the orchestra had opened the program with a short Bach contata in order that “we will not approach the principle work of the evening, just off the cold streets of Buffalo; the musi- ciams with cold fingers, you with cold hearts.” Buffalonian, In The Make, Needs Group Pics The Buffalonian is now in the process of production.
