of famous medical book observed thlß year medical schools and medi cal associations throughout the world are celebrating the hundredth anniver sary of the publishing of the book ex periments and observations on the gastric juice and the physiology of di gestion which was written by dr william beaumont and published at plattsburg n y in 1533 and has be come a clasßlc in the held of medicine when the book was published tt created a sensation and promoted in terest here and abroad for it was the first of itß kind and revealed for tne first time the results of experiments on the time for and the quantity of digestion of the principal food sniffs beaumont also experimented on the ef fects and time of retention of water in the stomach the story of the experiments ib ln itself very interesting a french cana dian boy ot about 17 was accldently shot at fort mackinac ln northern michigan and a large opening waß made in his side when dr beaumont was called ln on the case he said that the boy could not live however the boy alexis st martin lived and in about a year his wound was partially healed dr beaumont adopted him since he waß left without funds and was unable to work and brought him to fort niagara where the experi ments were btarted in june 1825 a few monthß late the boy escaped and went to canada where he was married in 1829 he returned to dr beaumont and the actual experiments were per formed during the years 1829-33 after the book telling of these experiments was published beaumont took alexis st martin to europe where he was seen by the famous physicians and the royalty bt martin died at the age of 83 leaving a widow and four children thlß book should be of special in terest to us since the experiments were performed at fort niagara and because at least four copies of this rare and valuable work are in buffalo there are two copies at the buffalo medical school library one at the grosvenor and one in the collection of dr by a member of our faculty boxing and wrestling those wishing to train in boxing and wrestling can report to the gym on mondays and fridays between the hourß of 1:15 and 4:30 beginning monday november 20 kappa belts dance a sweater dance will be held this evening at ellis hall at main and minnesota from ten til two it is the first open dance to be held by the fra ternity this year plans are rapidly progreßßlng for an alumni banquet to be held in the near future it is expected that this will be the biggest and best affair ot its kind to be held ln several years who's afraid of the big black heating tunnel the most romantic bpot around school is our network of bubterranean tunnels if they had only been ln exis tence during the civil war and if our college had only been a bit more south but enough of this why go all the way back to the civil war a couple of coeds had some thrills and bcares in them only the other day the rainy day aroused our adventurous splrltß the dark tunnels soon took it out of us we decided not to take the tunnel to the science hall it was too easy however the loose stone structure of the outer wall ab well as the sharp ness of the air made us think of a cas tle battlement the mortarless stones aeemed bo medieval upon entering the real tunnel we felt around for the light switch for about five mlnuteß before we discover ed that it was overhead remember that it you ever go adventuring at the end of the main tunnel we took the branch to the right and set out for the heating plant far ahead ln the pitchy darkness we could hear a clicking noise could it be a secret service agent clicking out his inform ation to headquarters no such luck it was a leaky valve the human ego has many kinds and one of them is blgn painting these were done rather elegantly ln white chalk along the way roof leak above box drip trap and toilet and leaks in the root it that hissing nolße ahead turns out to be a bomb we hope it's set for later from now on things began to hap pen thicker and faster tar shavings mud puddles black btalactite hung from the celling that will bring the geologists on the hop and manholes we jumped over all the latter because we were far enough in the hole al ready at last we arrived at the heat ing plant only to and that the only really intriguing thing about it waß that it boasts a boiler big enough to float the whole football team then back we went to the foster tunnel where conditions are not so funny first the second switch when snapped made no alteration in the long dark hole ahead and while we may be cats we can't see in the dark much more feeling around was done before we found a bulb which was loose ln its socket there is nothing quite so good for walnlng courage ab a little light soo-o-o on we pushed ahead of ub there was a door but it was all filled up with wheels and things all of a sudden they started up an awful roaring and scraping we may have hesitated but it wasn't hotlcable that is why this will be one of my unfinished works pharmacy students do tutorial work intellectual curiosity not work for credit motivates research tutorial students ln the arts col lege who trudge around the halls bow ed down with the weight of tutorial assignments can no longer look for brotherly sympathy from the pharmics on the north aide of the campus for according to a report received from the school of pharmacy our phar maceutical brethren have decided to take tutorial for the sheer satisfac tion of independent research their plan is not modelled after that in general use ln the college of arts and sciences no credit is given for work done under the tutorial plan and there are no formal grades the btudent is expected to develop habits of independent work reading and working under tutorial direction choosing his own time and manner of working doing as much as his time ability and ambition make possible and reporting to his tutor for criti cisms and suggestions tutorial stu dents whose regular course ratlngß become unsatisfactory may be dis missed from tutorial study at the dis cretion of the committee on tutorial plan the tutorial committee consists of five members of tbe faculty includ ing the dean tutorial subjects include the fol lowing manufacturing pharmacy pre scriptions materia medica and chem istry this plan was adopted march 6 1933 and is now ln operation this plan is expected to serve as an incen tive to ambitious students in the school who are really interested ln their work sale to aid buffalo's blind sponsored by women's club announcement was made some time ago by esther lawrence student in arts and chairman ot the program committee of the women's club that the club is sponsoring a pre-thanks giving sale and exhibit of articles made by workers of the buffalo as sociation for the blind and that a com mittee of 26 members has been ap pointed to have charge of this event the sale will consist of about 700 worth of useful household and gift items all made by the 27 blind people now working either at home or ln the shops of the association for the blind every one — student faculty members their families and their friends — ib welcome on tuesday november 28 from 4 to 6

auspices of our women's club the only reason for the cooperation of the university women miss law rence pointed out is to help increase the funds of the association for the blind every cent received will go into the association treasury to be paid out for wages and new materials at the association's goodell street head quarters the association for the blind sup ported by receipts for sales and by funds received from joint charities does only direct selling said miss edna stainton executive secretary of the association it never sells to retailers and has no salesmen what ever although trouble often arises with persons selling brooms rugs and other articles in the name of the assoc iation members of the committee stress the unusually large variety of articles on bale — over 75 llfferent

sunday a m the students of u b are either getting out of bed and go ing to church or going to church and then getting in bed but george the campus cop is'trudging up and down in front of ha^es lonely weary and cold the sqrlrrels stop and stare but they have no way of expressing sympathy for the lonely man it snows it rains george must go from building to building to see that the windows are shut the doors locked and the heat turned on this goeß on for hours until finally the monot ony is broken when dr shadle comes up to the animal house to feed the pets then perhaps dr dolley comes up to play with his pet flies he is one of the more regular sunday visi tors from noon until night george is called from building to building to let ambitious people in each person must sign up v q n going in or out of the building it is rumored that even the chancellor must sign up if he comes up to his office for the most part the people who come up are the professors the as sistants and secretaries and advanced students the number ranges from 1 or 2 to as many as 65 but regardless of the number george is always on the campus he hasn't missed a sun day ln six years the rounds are made about once every hour and between times george parks in the front window of hayes from where he has a good view of the road and the walks he is the one person who is thankful that the road has been changed so that it runs across the front campus two things which please george are on sunday every one parks in the proper park ing places and none walk on the grass if on sunday some of the students can't find something better to do it might be educational for them to make a trip out to campus and see the wide open spaces with no obstruc tions the squirrels running around very much at their ease and the silver breast plate marked 2474 holding the fort in front of hayes hall moot trials train law students for court procedure the first in a serfes of moot trials sponsored by the university of buffalo law school was held friday novem ber 17 in erie county hall these trials are designed to afford law stu dents an opportunity to familiarize themselves with court procedure the question at issue

members feel that an assembly revival will build up spirit believing that a weekly convocation can be very instrumental in develop ing better school spirit chancellor capen has appointed four members of the faculty to a committee to plan programs for the convocation hour within a bhort time student represent atives will be appointed to the com mittee the faculty members appointed to the committee represent the different schools upon the campus they are as follows dr a b lemon chairman pharmacy dr frederick j holl arls professor lester s kellogg , bus ad processor kenneth agee . education with the addition of the student representatives to the committee it will then be a truly representative body well qualified to institute pro grams for the whole school one committee meeting has already been held at this meeting the con sensus of opinion was that a well planned program of assemblies em bodying educational as well as re creational features is eminentlf de slrable because of the great impetus that it will give to the development of school spirit the committee hopes that the student body will cooperate with it by suggesting to the committee the kind of programs they prefer since the convocation progams will be for the undergraduates it is hoped that students with ideas about the matter will not keep their ideas to themselves unemployment survey deoelopes fuller brushmen the politeness of a fuller brushman waß not the technique which allowed the btudents who aided in the unem ployment survey to achieve success flrmnesß was the order of the day a little trick which our fellow btu dents resorted to was that of stick ing their foot in the door if and when it was opened life is hafd for he who has corns the women were the more violent of those bothered it seems one of them threatened to bounce one of the fellows off her front porch now he's no fairy and yet he readily ad mitted that she probably could have done it a few houses down the street this earnest lad encountered a different welcome this woman thinking more kindly of him asked him in to have a shot it's cold to day she added we do hope that he was firm one of the interviews was far from funny the papa who said that he was the head of the house was being interviewed to the question of how long had it been since he had worked he declared that he had not worked since the children were old enough to do so when asked the size of his family he said that he had three sons long had it been since he had worked none of whom were working a bit perplexed the interviewer pressed the matter and found that there were also three girls each of whom were earn ing forty dollars per week as secre taries it seems that papa had not considered them worth mentioning that should take you coeds down a peg the following interesting fads were shown by a preliminary inspection of the survey of the german district only one out of every one hundred families was unnaturalized and only five out of every one hundred families were foreign born since there was no glory connected with this survey the students deserve and have receiv ed the mi inks of the officials who are compiling the data inquisitive bee reporter gives new norton hall the once over no trespassing keep out so reads the ominous warning over the half-finished entrance to our new stu dent union building like other pro hibitions this one merely serves to arouse human curiosity and we were piqued like all the rest the difference was that we entered our warning to you is to obey the sign for here's what we found upon entering we had to stand for a moment to become accustomed to the darkness and when our eyes could see once more we found that a labyrinth of criss-cross scaffolds and temporary support barred our ad vance stooping ape-fashion we lunged toward what will be the cafe teria straightening up we were daz zled by the brilliant light flooding the white two-story refrectory we could not help reflecting on this dining hall as it will soon be filled with hungry students able to eat in suroumltngs more uplifting than those of the iron room lunching together in small noon hour clubs and passing intimacies over white shining tables we turned about and bendini down scooted out into the corrido again and then up the rickety statr where we found the private dininf rooms and offices of the various ae tatties dim wrrally doaens ot room whose use we could not conjecture ducking the foreman and feeling much like guilty kids we went up into thai much asked about pent-house well all we can say is that from the inbide its possible purpose is even more baffling than from the outside as we were about to leave the pent house we were hailed by a former u b student who is now working there though like the other laborers he seemed to have plenty of leisure in which to show invaders about we followed him down a few steps and then crawled on hands and knees be neath the scaffolding which the plas terers are using little globs of plas ter fell on nil sides until we could get under the protecting roof of the game room the room is far from complete so far as details and appointments are concerned but its size and general de sign looked promising and we only wished that the fire-place had been lit for our comfort from the spacious entrance of the game room we could see a huge opening which extended through all three stories our guide informed us that the main stairway i was to be there with a sort of balcony effect from the top floor here we took leave of the guide and interpretive dancing the muse of dancing has been lurk ing around our campus for many years at last with tho aid of miss louise jassoy well-known interpreter of cre ative dancing she hus been captured and is being held in bondage by al most fifty of our co-eds each tuesday mid thursday from two until three miss jassoy instructs interested pupils in tlie fundamentals of the dance these instructions are free and attendance is optional the primary object is training the girls to ait walk stand and consequently to look well however the relaxation and enjoyment as well as aesthetic ap preciation which is derived is of equal value all co-eds know that what is outßfde the head is equally as important as what is inside and learn ing to appear at one's best is a neces sary part of one's education already the girls have made remarkable pro gress watching them one might al most forget the familiar surroundings of the lounge and imagine oneself in an arabian garden where mysterious damsels dance to the weird and allur ing accompaniment of the tom-tom miss jassoy's own grace of movement and sincere love of her art is suffici ent inspiration for any youthful as pirant first board of managers and governors
