Workmen are now renovating the recently purchaaed Don Carlo* Apartments in an effort to extend housing accommodations for men this fall.
The apartment building, which came under University supervision June IS, 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. Janies M. Godard, executive vice president and dtan 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 rates 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 1925.
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.

Alice Bixler
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 The 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 such sports 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 University, Alice took pictures for the 1956 Ibis and worked at the Photo Center. She made the Dean’s List during her last 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 tire 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."
“Factors other than a good voice enter into a

Three former Hurricane grid stars will rejoin the UM football scene as coaches this fall, according to Head Coach Andy Gustafson, and a new freshman coach has been named.
Don Cobb, who has been serving as assistant freshman coach during the past year and who starred on the 1949 squad, was named to take over the coaching duties for UM yearlings.
Two of the returning trio of Hurricane veterans will serve as Cobb's assistants.
Allan Rod berg, star tackle on the 1955 Cane squad, and Walter Chwalik, who ranked as an outstanding end on tho famed 1951 team, will begin their freshman coaching duties this September.
Captain of the 1954 Hurricanes, Gordon Malloy, will take over the task of assisting backfield coach Perry Moss.
Malloy, who was drafted by the Detroit Lions upon graduation last year, injured his knee the first day of practice and was unable to play throughout the season.
Rodberg, who played four years as varsity tackle and was an “iron 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 has been coaching at Key West High School until last month, will handle freshman end coach duties. As a Hurricane star, Chwalik was famed for his 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 was an Old Timer coach.

Mrs. Maddaford'* face beams when she discusses UM's Voice Department. Last semester approximately 45 students majored in voice.
“Two of my former students now sing in Italy," said the instructor.
Mrs. Maddaford was graduated from Dana Musical Institute, Warren, Ohio.
