Pictures of Research Trips Viewed By Science Classes
Jay F. W. Pearson, assistant professor of Zoology, showed lantern slides of his trips to Britisn Guinea and the Sargrasso Sea, to the students of the botony and zoology classes last week. These pictures, in conjunction with lectures, were designed to show the more interesting plants and animals which cannot be studied in the laboratory. Much interest is being manifested in the trip to British Guinea which Mr. Pearson will con duct this summer and on which many students are expected to go.
The first series of pictures was taken at Wm. Beebe’s tropical research laboratory at Kartabo, British Guinea. Mr. Beebe is well-known as a writer and naturalist and is also director of Tropical Research for the New York Zoological Society. Among the interesting animals captured and eaten by the party were iguanas, sloths (giant lizards,) red howler monkeys and agouti, a kind of rodent. Mr. Pearson conducted students from the University of Pittsburgh on this trip.
The second series of pictures was taken on the research expedition led by Mr. Beebe to the Sargasso Sea and the Galapagus Islands. Well-known men in the party included Don Dickermann, artist and creator of New York’s cafes, Pirates Den, Blue Horse, County Fair, and Heigh Ho. Others were E. B. Schoedsach, photographer of such pictures as “Grass’ and “Chang,” Dwight Franklin, designer of the costumes for the “Black Pirate’“ and W. K. Gregory, Curator of Ichthojology at American Museum of Natural History.
The journey through the Panama Canal was well depicted as were also the scenes showing the collecting of deep sea fish and plants in 40 foov nets.

An intensely interesting and a very unusual performance was given by Der Deutsche Verein Thursday afternoon.
All the announcements were in German, with the exception of the few words outlining the plot of the delightful comedy, “Einer Musst’ Heiraten,” which was the main feature of the program. With no knowledge of the language, one could still understand the action and infer a great deal of what was | said. Never hesitating for a moment, the players spoke swiftly and naturally.
Faye Weintraub was especially good as the aunt of the two bachelor professors. Alice Babin made a very attractive and fluent Wilhelm. The stauncher woman-hater, Heinrich, was cleverly portrayed by Sophya Wolfe. The part q! Luisia was very well taken by Laura Newton.

Dr. Lowe Announces New Courses for Second Semester
It was Stetson! Stetson University from Deland, our great old rivals! And‘they had come down to Miami to carry away a victory in basketball as they did in football in mid-November. But, a surprise awaited them.
The night was calm and beautiful as five red and five green clad basketeers stepped on the patio court sheltered only by the stars and a clear sky. All the spectators were wondering what the result would be for the Hatters had proved powerful against a strong local quintet the preceding night. But from the firyt tip off till the end of the game, the velocity of the Hurricanes was great. It began blowing at the beginning and by the end of the first half the gale was so strong the points that belonged to the Hatters had been blown so far away there were only 2 while the Hurricane team had been able to blow 22 their way.
It was near the middle of the second half before the Hatters were able to pass the ball through the strong opposition and shoot it through their loops and that was [ter Coa^h McCann had.su
of the starting line-up. Then some of them charged too hard and the Hatters shot three foul goals. Near the end of the game they registered three field goals to make their score of 13 while the Hurricanes had been able to pile up 35.
The playing of Hanseii, Ashman and Catha was outstanding for Miami, while Kallel played best for Stetson, even though he was removed from the game because of fouls. Welding, Stetson, and Ashman, Miami, were also removed for 'unnecessary roughness.
If Miami keeps up the fine work it looks as though the state title will be back at the University of Miami again this year.
The only dark spot in the game was when “Austy” Younts was tripped and his head hit the floor and a gash was cut above his left eye. He had to be removed from the game and a few stitches taken.
The Reserve Team also defeated a team of high school boys from (Continued on Page 4)
