Carlotta Wright, the first Cuban student to enroll at the University of Miami, represents the dream of Pan-Americanism coming true. Carlotta comes from Santiago de Cuba, the home of her American father and Spanish mother, and is living in Miami with her uncle.
Her classes, she says in broken English, are still very difficult, because she has had only two years of English. She aspires to a B. S. degree, with chemistry as her favorite subject.
“Yes, I like Miami,” she answered to the question put to all visitors to the city.

Ruth Bryan Owen, regent of the University of Miami, congresswoman-elect for the Fourth district of the state of Florida, sponsor of Rho Beta Omicron, honorary public speaking fraternity, and former teacher of public speaking at the University, was nominated for the Miami Herald civic achievement award of 1928 by William E.
Walsh, president of the board of regents of the University.
Mr. Walsh, in nominating Mrs.
Owen, said: “For many years Mrs Owen has been a most useful citizen. She has given untiringly of her time and energy as president of the Consumers League and president of the Woman’s club, and as head of many other useful organizations. During the year 1928 she has performed a tremendous amount of service to this community. During the year 1928 she has traveled IWWSfveiy over many states in the Union and delivered many addresses before the distinguished citizens of many cities.
Everywhere she went she has systematically called the attention of the public press to the glories of South Florida and has managed to keep Florida on the front pages of Northern papers during a large part of the spring and summer.
The advertising value of the untiring publicity which she has given our community cannot be calculated.
“During the last year she was a member from the state of Florida on the National Council of Child Welfare.
“Immediately after the recent hurricane she did a notable piece of work by organizing the Miami relief clothing clearing house and was made president thereof. This relief organization has functioned with a high degree of efficiency.
“She has been richly endowed with splendid mental and physical health and she has used her exceptional abilities unselfishly in the service of the’public.

What’s this? Has some tribe of savage Indians crept from the fastness of the Everglades under the cover of midnight into the very midst of unsuspecting Coral Gables; and are they holding a final pow-wow by the light of this enormous bonfire before going forth to slaughter the helpless citizens?
Such will be the questions asked tomorrow at the dark hour of midnight when a lurid glare lights up the sky and terrifying noises rise from the vicinity of the University.
But no, those yells are not the war cries of painted savages, and that weird figure wildly dancing and gesticulating in the flickering glow of the fire is not some “heap big medicine man.” No, it is only the students of the University of Miami led by no more terrifying a figure than our own Ray, wanning up for the big game with Howard

Everyone is expected to tjirn out, an’ all, from the president down to the smallest of the frogh, must bring a stick of wood. Tie cheer leaders will be there to assure enough noise to ¡«¡waken the citi-1 zens of Coral GAbles from their peaceful slumber* and to keep them awake for sime time; and, as Ray says, the fide will be so big you will be able to see it at the University of Fnlford!

Civic Theater To Present “The Bride” With Three Performances
“The Bride” is the title of the next Civic Theater play which will be given in the auditorium, November 29 and 30 and December 1.
This play, directed by Howard Southgate, is a mystery comedy.) In the first scene two bachelor brothers, one a collector of precious stones and the other an anthropological enthusiast, are shown. Very shortly afterwards, a bride appears without the bridegroom. An interesting plot developes, and the play will hold the audience in suspense to the very end. The cast will include:

The Hurricanes will play the Howard “Bulldogs” at Stadium field Thanksgiving day. It wiil mark the third meeting of the two teams, each having one game to their credit.
Howard is coming with a great aggregation of stars, including her prima donna, Don Van Buskick, who ran us raggedy last year. Howard has almost a complete veteran team back from last year, Bancroft and one or two others excepted. Bullard, a sophomore from Daytona Beach, is sharing the spotlight with Van Buskirk. Last Saturday, Howard tripped her ancient rival, Birmingham Southern, in a fast game, 13 to 12.
The Hurricanes have taken a much needed rest due to the fact that they were idle last Saturday. Cub Buck called off practices from Friday until Monday for fear the boys would go stale.
There will be some change* in the Miami tiMl£ for the holiday. Gieb«| and Getachow, varsity tackles, have returned tq the North, which means Buck will have to shift some new faces into the line.
