so large a production staff the work is more divided this year and every one has his or her own job to do in former years a very small group has put all the shows on but this year that condition does not exist and no one is unduly crowded for the first time in many years if not ln the history of the club the set has been fin ished before the curtain went up on the first dress rehearsal last wednesday night the credit goei to jack nelson and to the fact that many flats were already pre pared from previous shows and simply had to be washed and re painted nevertheless a great ad vance in the production end haa been made and kept pace this year with the play itself due to the design of the set this year the staff is able to move around back stage and not fall over stage braces assorted rubbish and people's feet but that is not due to the design of the platform but more to the ingenuity of the pro duction staff the sound booth an elaborate affair has been placed over one set of stairs far more powerful than any argument we can advance to in terest you in the show is the play itself and only by seeing it can you appreciate its adroitness its speed | and its innate ability to

lineup last week against wayne the injury-riddled | team flashed some of its early-sea son form although beaten 14-6 and showed every indication of having ended its three-game slump the engineers who have also been hampered by the injury jinx have not fared so well this year winning but two games and los ing four last week they were overwhelmed by massachusetts state 40-0 the team which both duffalo and r p i played was al fred and that serves as th only basis of comparison between the two teams the engineers from troy defeated the saxons by a 14 6 score while the u b grldder.s won over alfred 23-0 by virtue of this comparison the bulls ap pear to be the stronger team even though the victory over alfred en me early in the season when they were riding on the crt-at of victory fhe r.p

that he will greatly bol ster up the weak offensive of the engineers al andrews sparklim iiiuback is a hard charging line hiirker and also does most of the passing the buffalo lineup will be ! slightly altered for the game to morrow with bob young back in his regular tackle post by virtue of a bone-crushing performance in the second half of the wayne same danny dalfonso will return to his old position at right half back fully recovered from a leg injury likewise han searl ami hank intrator will be in peak form for tomorrow's fray vito gricco's hand will be in good shape tomor row for

game for u b tomorrow eligibility of college athletes moratorium suggested for eligibility columbus ohio acp sug gesting a moratorium on compli cated rules and programs regu lating the eligibility of college ath letes dr delbert obertcuffer non | coaching professor of physical ed ucation at ohio state university recommends the system of govern ing used by amherst college perhaps wc should suspend all rules and start over he said let's find out what rollege games are really for for 8 r . years more or less we have been piling rule upon rule without ever stopping for a careful analysis all this time moiiic over-enthu siastic coaches and directors of athletics have been responding to the victory-hungry public by go ing to all lengths to produce win ners it is suggested that the solu tion of this problem lies in an ex amination of fundamental concepts of amateurism and in a return to simplicity of administration commenting in the journal of higher education upon eligibility ecorqjpf tttißliflflß reff.my mjjhe h,v the president of the university of north carolina he said they are so firm so rigid and so reaction ary as to stun those who have been hoping for some mite of liberal ism dr obertcuffer pointed out that one is amazed by the number and complexity of constitutions of high school athletic associations and college conferences there are age limits scholar j ship standards transfer rules i amateur rules and freshmen rules and the history of each one is that it is formulated to control some troublesome situation — without counting the cost dr obertcuffer congratulated amhcrsl college for the simplicity of its athletic constitution these rules all under the juris diction of the college itself are j first an athlete must be physical ly in good condition to play second he must heln good standing as a student and third he must have been a student there for one year of orientation three simple rules — are they impractical of administration in the southern conference or the western or the ohio or in any conference dr oberteuffer stated that per haps we are not yet in the position lo place too much confidence in the other fellow if we do need big ger and better and more restric tive rules then let us retain come lawyers and give them six months to draw up statutes infallible and nil-embracing and place a trained sheriff in every athletic depart ment to guard against infractions increase of candidates in school of social work curriculum reorganized to include varied in terests — enrollment shows increase registration statistics just com pleted by the registrar of the uni versity of buffalo show approxi mately a 45 percent increase in hie number of candidates for the certificate in the school of social work a year ago the number of candidates for the certificate was 1 6 it is now 67 the total enrollment in all so cial work courses is 197 as com pared with 206 a year ago this apparent drop is more than com pensated for by the fact that the special state tera fellowship kroup numbers only 9 this year a compared with 48 last year af ter eliminating this group from l oth years the net total registra l on for 1936 is 188 as compared with 158 in 1935 we are not surprised that our lull-time registration has increas ''!." dr niles carpenter dean of he school of social work said in tommentin upon the registration figures the

morning as well as a most glorious sunrise the trusters after due delibera tion finally reached the conclusion that buffalo is just a hick town compared with detroit and that detroit has some swell
