Chalmers was as hot as a BA.R in the second period and his four field goals helped UB to a com manding 35 to 20 lead at halftime. Chalmers 'hit for two quick baskets at the start of the second half to increase UB's margin tc 17 points. At this stage Coach Mai Eiken began to experiment with different combinations, mid by the end of the third period Case had whittled the UB margin to IS points. UB increased its margin slightly in the fourth period, lead ing 62 to 48 with two minutes tc play, but at this point Case began to score with desperation shots and closed the score by 63 to 57 at the final buzzer. Mel Eiken sent his whole squad of 15\inen into the fracas, and once again demonstrated thi team’s balance as ten of the play ers broke into the scoring column Jack Chalmers led the scojring with 16 points and was foUowec closely by Eldridge who had 14 The Case team was sparked bj two fine sophomores, Qoug Brown and Jim AUen who scored 13 an 12 points respectively. In the preliminary game, Herm Cohen’s freshman team scored its second straight victory when they defeated the Ontario Aggies 49 to 32 in a loosely played baU game. Ed Gicewicz of UB scored 17 points to emerge as high scorer Captain Harold Kuhn of UB and also Howie Johnt played excellent floor games and consistently broke up the opposition’s plays. The Case wresting team started its season off on the right foot when they defeated UB’s wrest lers 25 to 2 last Friday afternoon before a crowd of nearly 300 people. Despite the apparent de cisiveness of the score, Nick Greg ory’s wrestlers put up a strong struggle against their powerful opponents from Ohio. Fritz Price chalked up UB’s only two points when he held Steven Oonoksas to a draw in the 165- pound division. From the spectators’ standpoint, the heavyweight match between Buffalo’s D o n Beitelman and Case’s Jim Biggar was the most thrUling on the card. “Beetel- bahm,” as he was nicknamed bJ the spectators, outweighed his op ponent by 40 pounds, but his ad versary from Case proved to be (Continued on Page 4, Column 5) Personnel Office to Invade High Schools The last of the veteran swollen freshmen classes have been ac> comihodated and the University oi Buffalo is now planning a more widespread program aimed at the alLi’ttCtion. of I'ligit L^liuul S > e i i i u r s . it is expected that over 100 letters will be mailed before January to area high schools, suggesting that a -day be set aside to be designat ed a “College Day.” The Univer sity intends to offer the use of speakers who will visit the high schools on this day, and aCqhaim che students with college entrance requirements ,the types of pro grams offered, job openings in the professions, and trends in occupa tion.

Word gets around that the an nual' Christmas Dance is beinj held at Hotel Statler Ballroom thii Saturday eve, Dec. 18. If no gir. has asked you to go as yet, it, would be advisable to ask the girl A ticket sets you back $2.40 which isn’t a hellavalot. . \ If possible, get a girl whose old man is a florist since corsages are in vogue for Ae occasion. The dance is semi-formal. ’This does not mean the male should wear a polo shirt. Humor has it that some pebplc drink. If this rumor applies and you want to save a few rubles for hamburgers, carry a few of those double-shot split bottles along. The bulge is negligible. So what do you say—let's all have a good time.

WARD Last Thu'r.sday, the Election Committee of the Board of Man agers met for the purpose of proposing a new system of nominations and elections for the Board of Managers. The proposals which they adopted will result in a new method of nominations and elections if approved by the Board of Managers and the Board of Governors. This committee was called into lession by the Board because of the criticism' which had been lavished upon Hio avUHii). i.y students and faculty aliRc. An example of the latter is Barton Bean’s statement in wliicli he compared UB’s government with “women’s self-governing bodies.’’ Mr. B e p stated further that the present system “tends to keep in power those who are already in power, helps to keep tight control over student government by the faculty and administration, and in duces apathy on the part of the students.’’ It was also said at the meeting that a block of 200 votes could and sometimes does control the choice of officers. Another evil of the political set-up was said to be the nominating committee which met behind closed doors and ,:roduced a feeling of suspicion among the student body. This committee often selected candidates to place on an equal footing with tho^e who had work ed to file a petition of nomination. The committee seemed to be in general agreement on these points. Henry Rose, chairman of the com mittee said that he considered ihe most important aim to be that o. reducing the general apathy that prevails at election time. Proposals drafted by the com mittee are as follows: Nomination— It was agreed that all nomina tions be by petition instead of by the nominating committee. 7'he president of the Board shall be nominated by a petition con- taiiiing not less than,400 signa-, tuiBs. The Vice-President and Sei retary shall each need 300 sigi latures. Representatives of separate schools shall need 10% of the registration in their particular school with a minimum number of 25 signatures. Representatives - at - large shall need 250 signatures. It was further decided that no more than 4 candidates shall run for the same office and, if neces sary, primary elections shall be held. The committee also proposed that if no person is nominated for particular office, the position shall go unfilled. (This last in tended to shock the students out of their apathetic condition.) Election— For an officer (pres., etc.) to be elected, he must receive a major ity of the votes cast. Other positions will be filled by a plurality. Elections shall be held on three successive days in order that every one may find a convenient time to vote. It was decided that polling places shall be set up in other parts of the campus besides Nor ton Hall. Members of the committee also deplored the fact that campaign ing has been frowned upon by the Board. They plah to allow the widest possible latitude to the (Continued on Page 4; Column 4) Tomorrow Conducts Short Story Contest The literary magazine TOMOR ROW announces “The College Writers’ Short Story Contest.’ It is the purpose of this contest, open to all officially enrolled under graduate college students in tl*e US, to encourage new talent.

Norton Gets Annex But Only for Day University of Buffalo students Friday morning suspected that the plumbing system in Norton Hall might be out of on^er. A crude out-house was placed before the English manor type building sometime during Thursday night. Equipped with a fresh roll of Scot Tissue, the piece of Ameri cana architecture also sported a crescent over the seat. It was also embellished with signs reading: “Wiper Service,” “Nectar for a Nickle,” and “No Dumping.” Students and the staff of Nor ton Hall were at a loss to explain the unit’s presence. Some ad vanced the opinion that it may have been placed there by Case School of Applied Science at Cleveland students with whom UB played basketball Friday evening. Others were inclined to blame students from other local colleges
