              WHILE THE PROF LECTURES, Ed Ratiner takes a swig of a cool refreshing coke. Coke drinking is prevelant during the summer, hut many profs lower the boom during the regular semesters.
COMPARING NOTES in class has become a general practice during the summer. Jane Stormont and Don Rogers seem oblivious to what is going on in the classroom.

DOING HOMEWORK can be fun when you have company and what better place to do it but in a classroom. Seated comfortably on a table is Bob Wert who is supervising (?) the group.
TAKING NOTES with a cigarette in one hand and a coke bottle planted in front of her, sun-glassed Sandra Rosenthal appears a little disturbed. May-	f•
be she's mad that she didn't bring a ham sandwich. L
BERMUDA-CLAD, bare-footed E. T. Condon seems quite at home in his management class. Humid weather coupled with high temperatures have forced many students to resort to informal attire, many of whom would not do so during the regular semesters.

By MARY STRAITS
Hurricane Staff Writer
Metropolitan government in Dade County is now being studied by UM with the aid of a $50,000 Ford Foundation grant.
The grant was confirmed this week although work on the project began June 10. The joint research is covering the political, governmental and economic aspects of Metro, and
will continue through June, 1959.
Co-chairmen of the project are Dr. Ross C. Beiler, professor of government, and Dr. Reinhold P. Wolff, director of the Bureau of Business and Economic Research.
According to Dr. Beiler, the hardest part of the study is to systematize the research. “We have been in a nebulous state until the last few weeks,” he said, “but work is hot

The man who guided the intellectual and physical development ’ and future of 84 AROTC students departed yesterday to assignments that will take him to other parts of the world where once again he will help direct the welfare and destinies of young Americans.
Lieutenant Colonel Oliver J. Helmuth, professor of military sciences and tactics and director of the Army ROTC Department, has been transferred to the Army Command and General Staff College at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas.
He will be at the college four and a half months, then will leave for further assignment in Korea.
President Jay F. W. Pearson said, “Lt. Col. Helmuth was a splendid officer and a wonderful friend. We’ll miss him of course but we welcome Colonel Gallup, his successor, and know he will maintain the high standards of our Army ROTC.”
Lt. Col. Helmuth has mixed emo- | tions about his departure. He has made 6930 Tordera St., Coral Gables, his permanent home, and though he regrets leaving his family, he looks forward, like all devoted officers, to the challenge of new assignments.
His wife Rebecca, and daughter i their ROTC training was leadership,” Zoe, 18, will remain in Coral Gables, i he said. “And this leadership will Lt. Col. Helmuth is extremely not only apply to their years of proud of the 47 young men he saw military service but also as indivi-eommissioned as second-lieutenants duals in their communities.
“Our ROTC officer candidates learn to think on their feet. They gain self-reliance and confidence in themselves.
“We have many students who drop out when they discover that ROTC is not a giveaway program but one that is very competitive.
“Those who survive their officer training are those who learn to surmount obstacles, and only the best candidates finally receive commissions.”
“Ultimately,” he said, “only those men who have exhibited impeccable personal character and the greatest degree of leadership potential are commissioned.”
The handsome, mustachioed, career soldier has been in the Army for 18 years.
His post World War II assignments included Chief of the Army Lt. Col. Helmuth	: Aviation Section of the Management

During World War II he served in South America and Europe Prior to the war he served as an instructor at the Artillery School at Ft. Sill, Okla., and as an instructor at the Armored School at Ft. Knox, Ky.
Lt. Col. Helmuth believes that a career as an officer in the U. S. Army is the finest personal endeavor there
is.
“It is without doubt the most responsible and most demanding job in this technical age—a real challenge for any lad who wants to make something of himself.”
Asked whether he agreed with some critics who say ground forces may be useless in an atomic war, he said: “The day that communities no longer need fire and police forces and such a time as God’s teachings are practiced by all nations in the world—that is the time when an Army won’t be needed.”
The colonel looked wistfully about the campus as he spoke. “I’ll sure miss this place. I’ve watched the phenomenal growth of the University of Miami with continued amazement, especially at the great effort and leadership provided by Dr. Pearson.”
and heavy, and things are coming into shape very fast.”
Dr. Beiler added that there is almost too much going on in Metro politics to stay ahead of, and the work has to be done while things are happening. He said, “We are up to our necks and over our heads in work.”
The study will report on the background of Metro as well as attempt an analysis of forces responsible for
key decisions.
The Miami study is considered particularly important because Metro, established in July a year ago, is the first and only local government of its kind now operating in the United States.
Others working on the project are Dr. Grover A. J. Noetzel, dean of the School of Business Administration, who will coordinate the joint study, Dr. C. Doren Tharp, vice president and dean of faculties; Dr. Bryce Ryan, chairman of the sociology department; Dr. Sania Hamady, of the human relations department; Dr. T. J. Wood, chairman of the government department, and Dr. Gustave Serino and Prof. Edward Sofen of the government department.
