of its rules and regulations 3 the entire program of finan cial aid to students shall be in keeping with the letter and spirit of the regulations of the national collegiate athletic association and of the eastern college athletic conference the division and ap portionment of the total resources the university has for aiding stu editorial new buildings have not been th only additions to this campus on november 27 a very important addition to this university was announced finally the students of the university of buffalo have been given an athletic policy which is in keeping with the progression and expansion of the university as a whole last year at this same time the spectrum announced just such a program and was immediately rebuked for the same announcement at that time it was stated that no change in the athletic policy was impend ing yet here it is the spectrum last year advocated a new schedule for the bulls this is now being done the spectrum last year advocated the use of rotary field for varsity games this is now being done the spectrum also advocated the encouragement of athletics by a comprehensive scholarship program this also will be done it is rather hard to understand why this policy was not adopted long before this we were playing a schedule that was over bearing our players were and are good but we can never be an ivy league team the only logical solution to the football problem is to limit our schedule to teams of our calibre this does not menn that football must lose its popularity because of a reduced schedule rather it means that in the future our games will be even better because of more evenly matched teams all that the spectrum advocated and more has at last been made a reality we are now a university with a modern program for development both on the campus and on the athletic field this new and important change in the athletics of the university of buffalo involves each student regardless of whether or not he is active in athletics it should and undoubtedly will provide the foun dation for a much increased school spirit the students of this university have a clearly defined duty to perform they have been given a chal lenge to rise as a body in support of their teams it must be accepted mixer committee presents annual stunt night tonight friday december 3 the annual stunt night sponsored by mixer commit tee will be held in norton
