Snavely, former president of Birmingham-Southern College and now executive secretary of the Association and editor of the quarterly bulletin published by the Association. Dr. Snavely, a frequent visitor in Miami, delivered the commencement address here three years ago.

International Relations Club has elected Miguel Colas and Sal del Mastro as delegates to the Southeast Conference to be held at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, March 4 and 5.
Dramatization of "Little Women Not Up To Standard of Novel
By Hortense Hurricane "Little Women,” as it was presented last Thursday and Friday nights by the University Players, failed to capture the spirit of the Louisa M. Alcott original novel. Some novels, such as "Dodsworth” or "The Old Maid” have been successfully adapted as plays; but in the John D. Ravold dramatization the almost classic figures of Jo, Beth, Amy and Meg do not emerge as the author presumably created them.
Although the University Players did as much as they could with their faulty parts, the play as a whole was spotty and colorless.
Jo Played With Spirit Dottie Mae Buddington did her very best to be the Jo March of the novel rather than that of Ravold’s play, reaching her peak in the scene with Laurie in the second act.
Carl Squires, who has showed considerable talent in past productions, appeared very much on the callow side in his role as Laurie, which again quite possibly was the result of bad adaptation of the novel.
Fay Taylor turned in a surprise performance. She literally wai Amy from first to final curtain. Phyllis
Young, on the other hand, who took the part of Amy on Friday night, managed to succeed fairly well for the first two acts but became just Phyllis for the finale.
Jean Moore did an excellent job as the erratic and grumpy Aunt March.
Professor Lost Completely
Max Marvin also was a victim of Ravold’s adaptation in which the role of the kindly German professor emerges as a distorted and ludicrous character.
Dorothy Armagost as Beth and Annette Werner as Marmee did what they could with their insipid parts.
Jerry Fleishman as John Brooke did a fair job of wooing the stately Meg, played by Betty Mae Serpas, especially in the clinches. If they had put the same fervor into all their acting, the play would have leaped along while they were on the stage.
Perhaps the kindest thing that can be said about the father, played by Robert Lyone, is that he was tired from his long journey back from the trenches or wherever it was he had been. He appeared to be just a little confused about the whole thing.
Jay Pearson Is Granted
Year’s Leave
University Secretary Leaves For California To Arrange Exhibits
Granted a year’s leave of absence by President Bowman F. Ashe, Dr. Jay F. W. Pearson, secretary of the University and professor of zoology, left the University of Miami last Saturday for San Francisco, California, to serve as exhibit expert at the Golden Gate International Exposition.
He is to be in charge of arranging exhibits in the field of biology and medicine for the Exposition, which will open February 18, 1939. The displays will be housed in the Hall of Science and will be under the sponsorship of the University of California.
Acting Directors Appointed
In Dr. Pearson’s absence, Dr. J. Riis Owre, professor of Spanish, has been appointed director of the University summer session, and Dr. E. Morton Miller, member of the zoology department, will take over the duties of director of N.Y.A., federal student aid.
A graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Pearson served as research assistant to Dr. William Beebe during his "Arcturus” expedition to the Sargasso Sea and the Galapagos Islands. He also spent two summers in British Guina at Dr. Beebe’s Kartabo jungle laboratory.
Classes to be Cancelled
As a member of the original faculty of the University, he developed the underwater studies in marine zoology which have become a distinctive feature of the University curricula. These courses, conducted during the spring term, will this year be cancelled during the absence of the professor, it is announced.
Later he studied at the University of Chicago where he obtained his doctor’s degree. While there he was appointed director of biological exhibits for the Century of Progress International Exposition. Since the completion of his three years’ work at the Chicago Exposition, he has served continuously on the staff of the University.
Spanish Revolution To BeOwre’sSubject At Tamiaini Temple
Dr. J. Riis Owre, professor of Spanish, will speak Sunday night at Tamiami Temple on conditions leading up to the Spanish revolution in 1931 and the overthrow of Alfonso XIII which established Spain as a republic.
Doctor Owre will also explain the political conditions existant during the republic which led to its collapse in July, 1936, through the insurrection of General Francisco Franco.
As Doctor Owre will tell, Spain never was and is not now communistic. The present conflict is between fascism and democracy rather than between fascism and communism as is commonly believed.
The lecture will be concluded with a question and answer forum.

MiainiDebatersTake 2-1 Decision From Fla. Southern Team
University debaters took a 2-1 decision from the Florida Southern forensic team in the Hurricanes’ homecoming debate held last Thursday night before a large crowd in the Social Hall.
Milton Wasman and Dick Arend took the floor for Miami on the affirmative side of the question, "Resolved: That the National Labor Relations Board Be Empowered to Arbitrate All Industrial Disputes.” Southern College was represented by Lor-na Shogren and Robert Boggs.
Neither Wasman nor Arend has been defeated yet in out-of-town debates during their two years on the varsity team and have lost only one home debate so far.
Judges for the contest were William Hester, law professor; Mrs. Wil liams, head of the public speaking department at Miami High School; and Mrs. Moore of the Cushman School.

Special Session Affirms Right Of Student Body
Condon’s Second Eviction Of Reporter Results In Honor Court’s Decree
"Since it has always been the custom in the past and there having never been a decision upon this particular point, or provision in the constitution, we feel that it is the right of any student to attend any meeting of the Student Senate. That, in order for the Senate to have a closed meeting for the purpose of carrying on special business and thus excluding all except the regular members of the said Senate, the members of the Senate must at the opening of the meeting, vote a ’closed meeting’ and there must be a quorum present.” This decision, the first of its kind to be handed down by a University Honor Court, was arrived at during a special meeting of the Court held Monday after a complaint was filed by the editorial board of the Hurricane. The complaint stated that Tom Condon, president of the student body, had twice evicted an assigned Hurricane reporter from Senate meetings, refusing to. open the sessions until the reporter left the room.
Since the student constitution contained no provision barring students from attending Senate proceedings, and inasmuch as no Honor Court precedent had been established, the situation was brought to the attention of John Junkin, chief justice of the Court.
As a result of the Honor Court decision, future Senate meetings will be open to any and all members of the student body with the exception of meetings dealing with special business which may be voted closed by a quorum majority of the Senators.

Suite’s Good Humor Unimpaired By Long Confinement In Iron Lung
By Virginia Witters
Fred B. Snite, Jr’s, pleasant smile in the mirror above him was a reflected greeting to me as I was introduced to him on the sundeck of the second floor of his beautiful Miami Beach home. The male attendant who had performed the introduction left the room and I was free to question Mr. Snite at will. As the shaking of my knees gradually subsided, I was able to lean back in my chair and enjoy my conversation with the handsome curly-haired young man. I’m afraid I did most of the talking for Fred sidetracked me with many questions. He showed considerable interest in the growth of the University and our football team, for he was a freshman down here during the year 1928-29. When I told him of our gridiron successes, he informed me that he had listened to our games over the radio and enjoyed them.
Despite his illness, Fred has lost none of his good humor and cheery personality. We had several good laughs to gether over amusing things that were brought up in the course of
the conversation and presently I be gan to feel that I had known thi smiling young man in the mirror foi quite some time. Fred said that hi was mighty lucky to get out of Chim when he did, since the recent fighting has made it a decidedly dangerou; place. He remarked, though, that thi Chinese were very kind to him ant his family. "There’s nothing like this sunshine down here though, and I’n mighty glad to get back to it,” Fret said with a smile and his tanned fact gave evidence of his love of the sun Classmates from the Universitj who are here in town had called or him several times since his returr and Fred said it was nice to see some one from the old days. He still re tains an affection for the Universitj and even the campus life he enjoyet so much at Notre Dame has not quite erased his memories of Miami. A graduate of the Notre Dame school o] commerce, he believes that a well , rounded campus life consists of t peek at every activity and participa |tion in everything possible for tht development of our personalities.
