Workmen are now renovating the
recently purchased Don Carlos
Apartments in an effort to extend
housing accommodations for men
this fall.
The apartment building, which
came under University supervision
June 15, will be operated as a men's
residence hall with one, two or
three-man rooms.
"The building will give the University more housing space and
relieve some of the pressure of
next fall's anticipated increase in
enrollment,'' said Dr. James M.
Godard, executive vice president
and dean of administration.
"The University is putting new
beds into the building and painting
the rooms and furniture," said Dr.
Godard. "Electrical and plumbing
repairs are also being made.
"A loud speaker will be installed
to call students to the phone," he
stated. "It will replace the old buzzer
system."
Dr. Godard said the school will
spend "quite a lot of money" before
work is completed.
Plans for a housemother at Don
Carlos have not been formulated.
Noble Hendrix, dean of students,
is studying the possibility of having
a woman or a family live in the
building to supervise it
Residence ratea at Don Carlos will
be the same as those for the dormitories.
The apartments have a long and
colorful history that began simultaneously with the opening of the
University in IKS.
A group of citizens erected the
building at a cost of $87,000 with
hopes of selling it to UM.
However, the University did not
purchase the building until May
of this year.
Hendrix said the purchase of Don
Carlos would "round out the campus
and insure solid ownership of the
campus area."
The apartments should be ready
for occupancy in September.

Photo Editor
Goes To News
Alice Bixler, 23-year-old University graduate, became Miami's first
girl professional press photographer
this week when she joined the Miami Daily News to cover general
news assignments.
Miss Bixler, who was graduated
from UM in February, was Hurricane photo editor and chief photographer of Tempo, monthly pictorial
magazine.
Three years ago, while shooting
pictures of a prize fight for Hie
Hurricane, Alice met Ed Pierce,
chief photographer of The! Miami
News.
His camera wasn't clicking right,
so she lent him one of hers.
Since then Pierce had occasion to
note the zeal with which Alice
covered audi sporta as fights, football and basketball.
Alice said her parents had mixed
reactions over her activities in what
has been in Miami an exclusively
men's field.
While at the Univeraity, Alice
took pictures for the 1956 Ibis and
worked at the Photo Center. She
made the Dean's List during her laat
semester at UM.

The "lady with the hats," Mrs. Lina Maddaford, instructor in voice, makes a striking picture on campus.
The charming instructor's pointed pixie hats and
gray bangs make her easily recognizable by her voice
students.
Her students have dubbed her "Mama" because of
the sincere interest she has shown in training them
to sing.
"Collecting hats is a hobby with me," said the
voice instructor. "I go in for the unusual. My
favorites are the pixie creations."
"I also admire Italian made hats," she said. "Fortunately, I do not have to buy many of my hats. When
my friends see an unusually styled hat, they often
buy it and present it to me as a gift."
"I'm getting quite a collection of 'oddities'," she
said laughingly.
However, Mrs. Maddaford's interest does not lie
entirely in millinery. She has a keen interest in
music as evidenced by a glance around her office near
the Student Union lake.
She shares the office space with Dr. Arturo Di
Filippi, chairman of the Voice Department.
Autographed pictures of famous opera stars deck
the room and a baby grand piano sits in the middle
of the floor.
Mrs. Maddaford came to UM in 1951 when Dr. Di
Filippi invited her to assist him and coach the stars
of Uie Miami Opera Guild. She is also the coach for
the UM Opera Workshop.
"Mama" enjoys watching the progress of her students. She feels that only .after careful training can
a teacher determine whether or not a pupil has the
stamina to begin an extensive career in voice.
"I never tell a student not to study voice," she said.
"At times I suggest that he channel his efforts away
from a voice career and toward singing in church
and community activities."

over the coaching duties for UM
yearlings.
Two of the returning trio of Hurricane veterans will serve as Cobb's
assistants.
Allan Rodberg, star tackle on
the 1955 Cue squad, and Walter
Chwalik, who ranked as an oat-
standing end on tho famed 1951
team, will begin their freshman
coaching duties this September.

Gordon Malloy, will take over the
task of assisting backfield coach
Perry Moss.

Detroit Lions upon graduation last

throughout the season.
Rodberg, who played four yeara

man" playing more than 50 minutes
each game, will serve as assistant
freshman coach. He will also enter
Law School in the fall.
Chwalik, who haa been coaching
at Key West High School until
last month, will handle freshman
end coach dudes. Aa a Hurricane
star, Chwalik was famed for hia
steady and dependable line play.
Although the three returnees
were graduated at different times, all
played together on the Orange Bowl
gridiron as recently as last March
22.
Malloy, Chwalik and Rodberg all
starred for the Old Timers in the
spring practice game which pitted
the former Hurricane gridders against the victorious 1955 varsity.
To complete the picture, Cobb waa
an Old Timer coach.
All these men were great football
players here and I'm sure they'll be
great additions as coaches," Gustafson said.
