rAttfc TWO SPECTRUM Friday, March 9, 1956 (^clitoriaf cjCetterd to ^ l i e ^ d itc State Victory - In The Stands The basketball game Saturday night against Buffalo State Teachers brought out two facts; one of which is general knowledge, the other — only suspected. The first is the fact that UB was repre.sent- ed by an outstanding basketball squad which turned in a tremendous 17-3 record. As a farewell tribute to Coach Mai Eiken, the team came through under pressure and soundly defeated their inter-dty rivals. The second point made apparent at the game is that 70% of the students attending the game were from State Teachers. The surprising thing about this is that the larg est representative group of UB students at tending the game was not from the dorms but commuters. In fact, ju.st before game time Kciitor’s note: Due to the im* met with deprecatory jeers and portance of the Board of M anafers’ sneers.

F o r the It ha.s come to the attention of most of us at one time or another, that there is a great need for a marching band here at UB. There are at this time two bands at UB. Th^e are the Univer.sity Concert Band, which once a week with its ultimate goal that of presenting one or possibly two concerts each year, and the AFROTC March ing Band, which does its be.st to provide an entertaining half-time show for the football games as well as performing for ROTC functions. One big problem with this .set up is the lack of instrumentation in both bands. Since the ROTC Marching band is limited to male students enrolled in the Corps, there is a need for woodwinds and an abun dance of the brass instruments. There are music majors, who could contribute a great deal to this band, but are not enrolled in the ROTC. ner with emphasis on any phase ygj.y tj^ g , gnormous stride The main problem with the concert band subject.

The National Association’s endowment fund of over a million and a quarter dollars creates a large number of fellowships for American women doing graduate work both in the US and abroad. Well students and faculty of the feminine Cfie Spectrum grants; there may be one for you. Now Brace Yourselves for a Shocker The Administration is reportedly dis turbed over the large number of students on probation this semester. We hear they blame it on three students to a room. If so, dear folks, just forget about it. The real reason is that far too many students just simply don’t know how to study for finals. Now brace yourselves for a shocker. We’re going to pre.sent a novel .solution to the problem: Reijuire profes.sors to file all their old quizzes in the library. And it’s not so radical as you may at first think. It’s done at highly respected insti tutions such as the Univer.sity of Wisconsin, for instance. Dr. Robert Holland, English, who first suggested the idea to us, said the program at Wi.sconsin works fine. Mo.st fraternities keep a file on old quizzes anyway, so why not make the .system cam pus-wide. There would be at least two dis tinct results: 1), By studying old quizzes students would probably get a more thorough review than if they reviewed on their own, EDITORIAL STA F F BSlltOr Publisher ...............................................................................JA C K PBNHOLLOW E d itor-E lect .........................................................................................................
