ALL THE NEWS FIT TO READ Weather: Cold for a long, long time. VOL. II JANUARY 10, 1949 BUFFALO, NEW YORK No. 8 UB FIRE EQUIPMENT IN BAD SHAPE Job List and Needs Compiled by UB P.O. Mr. Klinglehofer of the Person nel Office has announced that there is, in his office, a compre hensive list of jobs and their po-' tentialities which he has prepared over the past several months. This material. has been obtained from all types of concerns, and covers nearly all kinds of positions. The pros and cons of every job listed are amply covered. “All too many students have no idea what line they would like to follow. Some even in the Senior year have still not reached a de cision,’’ said Mr. Klinglehofer. The prime function of the reference material will be to give these un decided students an opportunity to get a good cross-SecHon of the types of work available. Inter-Frat Council Freshman Mixer , On Feb. 2, 1949, the first Fresh-, man Mixer to be sponsored by the I.F.C., will be held at the Elks Club on Delaware Ave. at 9:00 P.M. Every freshman on campus has been invited fo attend and can be assured of a fine evening’s enter tainment. Fraternity men will be there to greet you and play host. Editorial note to prospective fra ternity men; Here’s how the system works. You attend the shindig which is also attended by various members of the different frats on campus. You mingle. One or more of the frat men is overwhelmed by your personality and invites you to a private frat party. This is known as . the “rush.” You may be rushed once, more than once or never. If it’s never, you start lobbying to induce a member to put in a good word for you. When you’re invited, it gives the bo 3 Ts in the frat a “real” oppor tunity to size you up. If you’re a hit, you are put on a list then turned into the Haas office. Then you get your turn'to bat. ^ O n a given day, you list your preference of frats in order—one, two, three. The number one’s are turned over to the particular frat and if you made their list, you’re jn. If not, you go to the second choice and if it’s stiil no go—then to the third. If you miss three times, you’re out. So when you go to the party ^ “ upstairs, shine your shoes, comb your hair, and don’t look bored. Norton Union wili be open throughout the exam period for the regular hours, but will close on Sunday, Jan. 23, and on Sat urday and Sunday, Jan. 29-30.

The luncheon service will end on Jan. 22 but will be of fered on Jan. 27 and 28. Want to Write? ' We Can Use Youl Do you want to become rich, fa mous and respected? If you do, don’t read this. Specifically, this paper is look ing for talent—writing talent. In case anyone is interested, it is the duty of the ARGUS to give you news, comments and interesting stuff if for no other reason than it’s costing you. Other papers have wire serv ices from AP, UP and DP; the only wire we have is holding up the chandelier.. This means we have four, count them, four pages to fill with pearls of wisdom, gems of journalism and sparkling wit. ’The ARGUS cannot wait for a someone to fall down the library steps or fall on his face in a local tap roomj we will take the news where we find it from whence it comes. If any budding reporter happens to trip across a rape, se duction (the difference being good salesmanship), brilliant rhetoric by any of our eversharp faculty either on purpose or made to seem accidental, weddings, funerals, births, scandals, divorces or any thing constructive let us have it. For services rendered you will receiv^ a kiss on each aide of your face, a start in journalism and you are further guaranteed to make enemies of people who would never have heard of you other' wise. If you can read or write, give us a chance to disprove this theory by appearing at the .ARGUS Of fice, 3rd Floor, Norton, any ’Thurs day or Friday afternoon.

Sigma Alpha Mu Accepted By IFC Nu chapter. Sigma Alpha Mu, was formally accepted into the ranks of UB fraternities ’Thursday, January 6 when it'was voted into the Inter-Fratemity Council. This action culminated a process begun early in the semester. A national fraternity, SAM had been established at UB in 1916, but in 1932, during the depression, the original Nu chapter was de activated of its own volition and left the Inter-Fraterhity Council in good standing. Sigma Alpha Mu was first chartered in 1909 at the College of the City of New York. It now has forty-five active chapters. One of the most notable' achievements of the UB chapter was its organiza tion of the original Inter-Fratem ity Council on campus. At the present time there are approximately one hunijred alum ni of the Nu Chapter in Buffalo. Included in this group are such notables as: Supreme Court Jus tice Philip Halpem, former Jus tice Samuel Harris, former Justice David Diamond, County Comp troller Jacob Tick, and Dr. Marvin Faihar. _ The reactivated chapter will hold a formal initiation, and installation of officers on Sunday, February ao. Scores Agaip Have you ever seen a radio pro gram in rehearsal? Did you ever want to find out how many people can stand in the same place at once? The Radio Playhouse offers you a golden opjportunity. Thurs day last at 'WKBW the Radio Playhouse triumphantly presented the second story in a series of programs called “A Matter of Mind.” ’The story revolves about a skep tical reporter and his subsequent enlightenment as to State Mental Hospitals.. Three case histories w ^ portrayed with the highlights of the program coming with case of the “Laughing Glass Blower.” With director Eugene Vasilew gesticulating madly in the control room,. a pitiful ' group of actors dashed frantically around a micro phone. In rapid sequence John Douglas screamed in agony, Don Peny i^Httered glass on a micro phone, m a d Bugs Kohsmann laugh^ hysterically, Harve Res- nik shouted lines to the Ustenhig audience, and Herb Looser sprawl ed'on the' floor catching loose script sheets. Thanks to the earnest and help ful work of director Hugene 'Vasi lew and of sound man Don Addi son, “Occupational ’Iherapy” by Arlene Corey vias ideasing to all. The excellent cast included — Jackie Zimmer, W«I iia Condrell, Bobbe Slepian, Mscllla Lockwood, S u e S cu H, Ann Surlisy, Gordon Dettman, Kan Malick, Regis Stev enson. and Dotranoa Yatvbor.

Cornell Fly Boys Ask for UB Help The Cornell Pilot’s Club of Cor nell University has sent out a call to this University requesting help for their attempt to organize a New York State Federation of Flying Clubs. According to the Cornell Pilot’s Club this movement has spread throughout the whole of the Col leges of the North East with ex ception of New York State. Cornell is interested in starting a similar New York State organ ization and is anxious to contact any group or individuals on this campus who would be interested in a similar organization. When organized the New York State organization will hold its own flsdng meets from which will come the winners wlio will repre sent them at the alrmeets of the Association of North Eastern Col lege Flying Clubs, and at the na tional alrmeets. If such a group on the UB cam pus is interested in tlie formation of a UB Flying Club they are ask ed to write to Mr. Arthur ’Thomas, President of the Cornell Pilot’s Club, Ckjmell University, Ithaca, New York. . When such an interest is shown by UB students, Mr. Thomas says that it may be possible for the Cornell Flying Club to send a representative of their Club to this campus to e;qiedite the formotion of a UB Flying Club. Only after a disastrous fire are people wont to consider the fire fighting equipment in their homes or offices. Even then most .of them don’t learn the lesson and continue to live and work in places not having adequate protection in case of a fire. After the recent fire in the nousing project at Fiilmore and Kensington Aves. in wliich one child died'and three persons were hospitalized, the ARGUS decided to investigate the condition of \ fire-fighting equipment in the buildings on the campus. The results were not encourag ing. The Biology Building and Sci ence Building, while having stone exteriors, are actually fire traps. Both have wooden starways which can not be closed off in case of a fir*. To make matters worse, in the B i^ g y Building no fire hose was to be found. None of the ex tinguishers in this building have been checked within the past year, as the state fire laws dictate. One, on the third floor, has an inspec tion tag dating back to July of 1941 In the Science Building, over a year has passed since any of the extinguishers were inspected and refilled. One has no tag at all, an other violation of the state law. Crosby and Foster are more modern and the construction is closer to being fireproof but this should not have lulled those in charge into a false sense of secur ity. All of the equipment in Cros by HaU is over a year overdue for inspection and, again, some have no tags. Again, also, a tag here was dated 1941 Foster HaU contains four fire extinguishers of the two quart variety. None of these have in spection tags. ’The fire hoses in Foster are due for retirement as lawn soakers. ’The ARGUS calls attention to this situation in the hope that the administration will take immedi ate and effective remedial action. Tile following was' received from the magazine Mademois elle; the ARGUS wUl be happy to receive material which is in tended for consideration by Mademoiselle. “MADEMOISELLE is always interested in seeing the best of undergraduate writing. At present, we are looking for out standing examples of fiction by women students as possible en tries in our 1949 CoUege Ketion Contest. College cartoons are printed in our August issue with credit given to the maga zine from which they come; often our best \cMscoveries” of future authors iW ^rlginaUy made from reading the work of undergraduate publications.”
