SUCCESS TO NEW GRADS! SEE YOU AT U.B. BAND CONCERT TONIGHT! VOL. IT FEBRUARY 21, 1949 BUFFALO, NEW YORK No. 11 RULES FOR BOARD HOPEFULS OK'ED Campus Politicos Begin Organization Of Parties; Platforms and Candidates for Board Elections Offered to UB Students With the rules and regulatoins which will govern the election of members of the Board of Managers agreed to by all interested parties, UB’s fledgling poli ticos lost no time in organizing for the fray. Last Friday the campus witnessed the first skirmish in what offers to be UB’s liveliest campaign in years. From points of vantage leaflets published by a group headed by Lee- land Jones Jr., past President of the UB Board of Man agers, were distributed to the student body. Urging UB’s students “to Organ ize for effective political action in the interests of the ideals of lib eralism as taught at our univer sity,* the leaflet announced an or ganization meeting which will be held Feb. 22 at 2:30 PJil. in Norton Auditorium. It is proposed that at that time action will be taken on a prograin which was included in the leaflet, and machinery for en dorsing candidates and promoting their election to the Board of Man agers will be set tip. . Individual students and organ izations interested in the promo tion of liberal, popular, student government are invited to attend the leaflet says. On good authority the ARGUS has it that a similar group headed by figures eminent in campus fra ternal life are now in the midst of organizing an opposition group to the one headed by Jones. Below u the tentative 12 point program offered by the Jones group. 1. To try to obtain lower prices at the Bookstore, which is sup posed to sell at cost. 2. To incorporate the cafeteria under the administration of the student union. 3. To attempt to obtain state aid for the erection of dormitories. 4. To participate fully and ac tively in the'N.SA. program as designed to benefit all the students of the university. 5. We endorse the basic prin ciples of the new plan for electing studeijt members of the Board of Managers. 6. We propose in the interests of economy and necessity that the student newspapers merge into a single journal that will function for the expression of all phases of student opinion. 7. We favor a constitutional stiptilation requiring regular Board of Managers’ meetings. 8. We favor the establishment of a faculty rating system to promote a better understanding between students and faculty. 9. We favor the establishment of a student personnel committee to facilitate the direction of students to extra curricular activities, ac cording to their interests. 10. We favor the establishment of a student voice in athletic affairs through the election of an athletic council. 11. We favor the admission of student observers to university An electron microscope has re- committees directly concerned with, cently been instiled in the Chem- matters student interest. 12. We urge the promotion of the international student exchange program. Student Aid Asked For Paper Puzzle Puzzled as how to handle the newspaper situation on campus the UB Board of Managers last Wed nesday voted to seek student cpinion on the matter. The Board decided that at the time when UB students go to the polls to select officers for the Board they will be asked to par ticipate in a referendum in which they will give their opinion of several offered wlutions to the problem. At the polls students will be asked to indicate whether they want the ARGUS to be their campus newspaper, whether they prefer the BEE as the UB paper, whether the paper should be merged into one paper, or whether they want both papers to continue with funds drawn from sales to the student body. When the opinion of the student body has been learned the inform ation will be forwarded to the Student Activities Council. The in formation will be used by that body to aid its allocation of funds to the UB campus organizations.

Style Expert Makes Forecast Of Spring Styles UB’s Retail Club last Friday heard Miss Bernice Chambers, a noted New York City styie expert forecast the coming Spring Fashi ons. .Miss-Chambers, who is also an assistant Professor in t^.Y.U. School of Retailing made several talks around Buffalo before she spoke before at UB. Her remarks were devoted to a description of how the American woman 'will be dressed this Spring and her descriptions included all items of apparel. According to Miss Chambers all tints and shades of blue will be popular in all materials. ’There will be a popular ‘Tilonde look” which wiU popularize natural tans and yellows, and that black has passed its peak and will be only inciden tal in the spring wardrobe, she added. All types of materials will be fashionable, said Bliss Chambers, including imported silks, linens and laces. Straw will regain prom inence in hats, bags and shoes. As for coats, two and three piece en sembles will be in style, consisting of matching dresses, toppers and long coats. Shoes 'Will be of the shell type, she said. They 'will be dyeable to match any dress color. Small hats with “perky ornaments” will be shown and for summer dress the large, “picture tsqie” hats will dominate the scene. In the hosiery line. Miss Chambers forecast that we will witness a transition to light colors which will match, the complexion. Jewelry will be graceful with flowerlike oramenting, and pearls in all colors and arrangements will be in vogue. The narrow waist 'wdll retain its popularity, but the plunging neck line will be neglected for the most part, being reserved for evening ■wear. Bliss Chambers told her listeners. “Consumer demand is the thing which determines fashion. For this reason the basic qualification of a good designer is the' ability to forecast future demands of the buying public,” she said in con clusion. BIr. Owen of the UB Retailing Dept, made recordings of Bliss Chambers’ remarks which he in tends to play back to classes in retailing at UB in the future. Norton Union will be open on Tuesday, February 22nd from noon to 10 p.m. The cafeteria will be closed.
