^^4 eel _ ^dE UNlV rr k w li VOL. II BUFFALO, NEW YORK MARCH 21, 1949 No. 15 ATHLETIC POLICY AROUSES CAMPUS Criticism of U.S.S.R. Resented; Fried No True Friend of Civil Liberties By MARTIN BIBNBAUM I have been reading vvith interest the articles by Marty lYied (Point of View). Within his article there ap pears a serious contradiction. The mote in his eye is the Soviet Union, and whenever possilsle he drags this in by the tail. Whenever he raises the is4ie of Civil Liberties, he brings up the danger of the “Red Menace.” In this way he is more of a service to those who are attacking Civil Liberties than to those who are fighting to preserve them. fighters against those Reunion to Mark Gym Dedication The University of Buffalo’s first swimming team—the only one it had before this year—^has been invited to the Open House to be held in Clark Memorial Gymna sium on Monday Eve., from 7 to 9. This swimming team took part in various local and inter-collegiate meets in 1924. Seven of its mem bers are still in Buffalo—Dr. An drew J. Charters, Dan Sandler, Emanuel Moss, Dr. Howard A.. Denneo, Alfred M. Zisser, Dr. Howard E. Wilkenson. and Dr. Louis G. Tribunella. Dr. Jacob Kulowski, now a prac ticing physician in St. Joseph, Mo., has informed UB authorities that he will come here for the Open House. Also on the first swimming team were John S. Taft, now of Elmira; C. Britton Weber, whose present address is unknown; and Dr. Henry J. Rozan, a Buffalo dentist, now deceased. At the Open House, tennis and squash exhibitions will be given by members of the Buffalo Tennis and Squash Club, through ar rangements made by the club pro, John Macklin. Swimming and diving exhibitions will be given- by students of physical educaton'in the University’s School of Educa tion. Sincere who endanger our liberties do not spend time whipping up hysteria, and then call upon their readers to’ defend the victims of a hysteria they helped to create. Lqt me cite a few examples. In his article of March 4 he in formed us of an important attack on Civil Liberties at Oregon State College where a teacher was fired for having dangerous ideas. “The latest action at Oregon State Col lege smacks entirely too much of the brand of totalitarianism cur rently practised in Russia,” he said then. In his February 28th column he is paving the way for bigger and better “witch hunts” by saying, “I believe the ideas and methods of the Communist Party to be as totalitarian as Hitler’s.” Instead of mobilizing construc tive a c t i ^ against these danger ous attaHcs on pur liberties his articles_ give u^ the feeling that maybe they are warranted, and when he continually brings in “stories” of more terrible happen ings in Russia you get the impres sion that things are not so bad. We here on campus have many different opinions of life in Russia, but have we ever stopped to con sider how radically these opinions have changed in the last few years? Did we think of “slave la bour camps” or Stalinist totalitari anism” when we heard that fifteen million Russian people died fight ing our common enemy? What were we thinking when Gen. Mac- Arthur said, “The eyes of the en tire world are on the great Red Army”? Winston Churchill also eulogized our ally. In a message to, Marshall Stalin he said, “Future generations will acknowledge their debt to the Red Army as unre servedly as we who have lived to witness their proud achievements,” ’These gentlemen have today flip-flopped, and are leaders in building up pro-war hysteria with such new accusations as—“Stalinist terrorism—slave labour—iron cur tain.” Barely six months after the conclusion of the second World War Winston Churchill rediscover ed the “menace of Bolshevism,” Life magazine also described conditions in Russia in its special March 23 edition on the USSR. “Of the 193 million people, 150 million are actually Russian Slavs. They speak 150 million languages and dialects, and believe in dozens of different religions. They are or ganized in 16 autonomous states. Each republic has its own consti tution, courts, cabinets, whatever religion it Wants (my emphasis, M. (Continued on Page 4. Colnnin 3) Int. Club Discusses German Election The International Club of the University of Buffalo will hold a meeting on Friday, March 25, at 4:30 p.m. at Norton Union. Ken neth Newton will speak on the topic; “Education in Post-War Germany—Success or Failure?” I The meeting is open to the public, j Mr. Newton, a student of the , University of Buffalo, came to the United States as a Displaced Per son in '1946.

RED CROSS DRIVE BEGINS TODAY Alpha Phi Omega, campus serv ice fraternity, will handle the Red Cross campaign among students on the campus, it was announced to day by Dean Harold M. .Somers, chairman of the campaign for the University.

POPULAR SUPPORT GROWS FOR MODERNIZED ATHLETIC PROGRAM HILLEL PRESENTS “DER DYBBUK” The B’nai B’rith Hillel Founda tion at the University of Buffalo will present a rare treat on Wednesday evening, March 30 at 8:00 P.M. in the East Room of Norton Union. “Der Dybbuk,” a full feature sound movie in the Yiddish language with English sub-titles which has long been considered a Jewish classic will be shown. It is knovm as one of the best portrayals of Jewish life in the Eastern European community and gives a very fine insight into Chasidism, a historic Jewish move ment that fired the imagination of hundreds of thousands in the ghettos of Europe. The movie is open to all student^ and to the general public. Dentist to Speak At UB Med. School “What Can Be Done to Control Dental Decay?” will be discussed by Dr. Eugene J. North in a pub lic lecture in the University of Buffalo Medical School, 24 High Street, this coming Sunday, at 3:30 P.M. Dr. North is assistant profes sor of pediodontia in the School of Dentistry. f This is the sefcond lecture in the weekly series presented as a com munity service by the University. Student Petitions Circulating on Campus, Interfratemity Council, BEE, ARGUS Editors Pledge Backing A committee of six students, backed by the UB Interfratemity Council and the Editors of both Campus newspapers, announced last Friday that an all-out effort will be made to s:ather complete student support behind a prop’ram of sports subsidization for the University of ---------- Buffalo. ' The Committee, composed of Ju lian Rivo, Ronald Sprague, Thomas Hinckley, Spero Yianilos, Winfield Lawson and Howard Leker, stressed the fact that no progres sive step in this direction is possi ble without the overwhelming sup port of the student body. To effec tively gauge the amount of student support the Committee is circulat ing a petition which they hope will be supported by every student on Campus who has a sincere in terest in the future of a strong athletic program for the Univer sity. “It is now or never,” said Julian Rivo, Chairman of the Ckjmmittee, “and the choice is entirely in the hands of the students. If the 5800 undergraduates on this Campus are wholeheartedly in favor of such a program there is no valid reason why it should not be brought about—and brought about immediately,” he added. Mr. Rivo pointed out that plans for a similar revison of athletic policy jicere started by Block B in 1946, but for undetermined reasons were not consummated at that time. He stressed the fact that a second failure at a crucial time such as this would end all hope of this University ever achieving a recognized position in intercolle giate athletics. , The whole matter was brought into the open last Monday by an open letter written by Rivo and Howard Leker which appeared in the ARGUS. Since that time stu dent comment in favor of the pro gram, has been markedly favor able”. During the past week further instances have come to light which the Committee feels substantiate the need for a swift adjustment of the present athletic policy. An example of th i^ s the case of senior in an a;^ea mgh school. $2,000 Granted UB For Fellowships A physician’s interest in promot ing “doctor-patient relationships” has resulted in a grant of funds to the University of Buffalo Medical School for special work in this field. Chancellor Samuel P. Capen disclosed today. The purpose of the grant is to cultivate in the physician an understanding of all the “human” factors involved in the patient. The gift, totalling $2,150 for this year, was made by the Lamb Foundation, which was established by Dr. R. B. Lamb, a retired psy chiatrist of Briarcliff Manor, Har- mon-on-the Hudson. A University of Buffalo alumnus, Dr. Amos T. Baker. M.D. '97, is a member of the board of directors of the foundation. “Dr. Lamb has been deeply in terested in this problem of doctor- patient relationships,” explained Dr. Stockton Kimball, dean of the Medical School. “His grant is de signed to emphasize to the physi cian a sympathetic approach to the mental, emotional, and spiritual needs of the patient, as well as to his disease.” Dean Kimball said that $2,000 of the grant is being used for fellow^ .ships—full support to a fellow in psychosomatic medicine at the Meyer Memorial Hospital and par tial support to a Meyer Hospital resident in medicine who previ ously has had psychiatric training. The remaining $150 of the grant will be used for prizes to medical students for special work in the same field. IMPORTANT Juniors and Seniors in the College of Arts and Sciences School of Business Administration School of Education School of Engineering who have not filed an Applica tion for Degree Card should do so at the office of the Universi ty Registrar before April 15.

His modest financial status, how ever, will not permit payment of $500 a year for tuition and he may be forced to take advantage of athletic scholarships which have been offered to him by Colgate and Syracuse. Members of the Committee ob served that when last year’s All- High Football team was inter viewed on television last Fall seven of the eleven members ex pressed their intention of attend ing out of town schools. Of the re maining four—one said he might enroll at UB. (Gontinued on Page 4. Cohaui 1)
