WING AND WIG TO GIVE PLAYS
Student at University Writes “Hot Dope,” to Be Presented
The four plays to be produced by the members of the Wing and Wig club are in rehearsal and are to be presented by the middle of the month.
The first play, “The Marriage of Little Eva,” by Kenyon Nicholson, is a realfttic comedy of the stage, portraying the typical characters of a stock company in an ironical and humorous light. It depicts the discovery of the secret marriage of the actress Little Eva and the actor Uncle Tom, and the comical but psychological means the director uses to get them to continue their parts.
“The Last of the Loweries,” by Paul Green, a tragedy in the dialect of the Carolina mountain folk, concerns an old feud between the government and the "Loweries, the rebellion of the last of the Loweries and the grief of the old, feeble mother and wife who has seen, one by one, the death of her loved ones.
“The Third Angle” is a comedy of artist life and the eternal triangle.
“Hot Dope,” the fourth play, should prove particularly interesting to the audience, as it was written by a member of the club, Louise McCallman. It is a prophecy and shows the University’s development in the years to come. It predicts the future of a few of the talented students in the university of today. The cast is as follows: Johnny McGuire, Walter Svehla, Mary Holgate, Eugenia Holmdale; first co-ed, Jane Bost-wick; second co-ed, Janice Watts, and Carmelita, Pat Burghart.

Sophomores Make Profit On Dance In Gymnasium
It was midnight. A soft rush of air swept through the library. A movement came from a drawer in the library desk. The drawer gently opened and a spineless form floated out into the center of the room. Ah! the Library Ghost— made up of all the lost and found articles unretrieved.
This night the assemblage was not very consistent with a real ghost, for several parts of such a one were missing. A brown, bushy sweater, a scarf wrapped tightly around the neck, displaying underneath a colorful tie, a belt around the waist and several notebooks tucked under a fleshless arm, composed the freakish figure which

DR. BELAUNDE TO CONDUCT FORUM
Round Table Discuæions of Pan-American Problems To Be Held
Extending the University policy of Pan-Americanism, Dr. Victor Andres Belaunde will inaugurate a series of round table discussions of the eight outstanding Pan-American problems, affecting the understanding and relations of America with the countries to the South, for the enlightenment of- the man-in-the-street as well as the University student, beginning January 4 to 11.
Professor Belaunde, instructor in Latin-American history and institutions, says, “I believe earnestly that Miami especially its University, will inevitably become an important channel of ideas, between Latin-America and the United States.”
Dr. Belaunde> Pa?- American Forum will be conducted on Friday evenings. It is planned that two or. three speakers will lecture at each meeting for about a half hour, on questions relative to Pan-American problems. These speeches will be followed by open forum discussions by the audience.
The firsts round table will treat generally “the present situation of Pan-American relations, new factors, new ideas, contradictory currents and the basis of future understanding.” The second lecture will consider the Monroe Doctrine, “its past and present interpretation, the traditional attitude of the Latin-American republics.”
Other subjects in the sequence in which they will be considered by these weekly discussions are: Mexican relations, including the historical background, the diplomatic success of the Dwight Morrow mission and its future influence on Mexi-can-American affairs; the Nicaragua question, embracing the United States’ canal interest; the Tacna-Arica question, its history and the present attempt for direct negotiations, in which the United States has endeavored to act as mediator between Chile and Pern; Latin American relations with Europe, the League of Nations and the influence of Spanish American countries; the process of Pan-American conferences, including the Santiago and Havana conferences and the proposed Washigton conference on conciliation and arbitration to be held next month; and the practical results of thes international conferences and forecast of their future influence.
Supplementing these discussion*, Dr. Belaunde will have available for the members a specially selected library of books treating these subjects.
