It will mark the first time that the famous Italian love tragedy has ever beon staged outdoors in Greater Miami. Tuesday night's performance will be mainly for University students and those from other schools as well. Stu dent activity coupons will be honored with fifty cents, regular admission being one dollar. Proceeds from the show will be added to the University’s Little Theater Fund. Eventually it is planned to erect a theater in Coral Gables for the express purpose of preserving, encouraging, and promoting the art of drama. In fact, architectural plans have already been drawn for the proposed structure. Storm and Bell Play Lead* About 35 persons will be included in the cast with outstanding adult amateurs in most of the major roles. George Storm, dramatic department instructor, is directing the production and will portray the part of “Romeo.” Dorothy Bell, who so aptly played the lead in “Stage Door” and “Abie’s Irish Rose,” two feature presentations by the dramatics department, has been chosen as “Juliet.” Other roles include Maxwell Marvin as Mercutio, Rita Bornstein as Juliet’s nurse, Herbert Tuckerman as Friar Lawrence, Joyce Kelley as Lady Capulet, Charles Squires as Benvolio, Richard Ludvig as Gregory, John Parrott as Sampson, Myron Theil-heimer as Abraham, Willard Hubbell as Prince of Verona, Daniel Satin as Capulet and Jackie Ott as Friar John. “Romeo” To Be Modernized Director Storm has selected B. Iden Payne’s version of “Romeo and Juliet,” in cuttings, readings and even “stage business.” Payne is regarded as one of the world’s leading authorities on Shakespeare and is lifetime director of the Shakespeare Memorial Theater, Stratford-on-Avon in England. But while Payne’s version is modernized, every precaution was taken to safeguard the original beauty of Shakespeare’s lines. Music for the occasion will be furnished by 35 pieces of the University’s Symphony orchestra under the able leadership of Walter Sheaffer. Included in the concert and background music between and during the five scenes will be selections from Tschaikowsky’s famous “Romeo and Juliet” opera. Tickets went on sale in the dramatic department box office Wednesday. Inasmuch as all seats are reserved, students are advised to make their reservations early for Tuesday’s performance. Wednesday’s show is mainly for the general public although students unable to attend Tuesday may obtain tickets for Wednesday.

Joe Thomas, who yesterday defeated Brad Boyle for the presidency of the student body in the biggest political upset of the season. Campaign Workers Lie In Waiting As Intrepid Voters Run GauntletTo Poll By Virginia Witters Political armies were drawn up on either side of a crack in the floor yesterday afternoon as the time for closing the polls drew near. Faces were tense but hands were busy passing out bits of cardboard. On one side we had Brother Boyle, backed by henchman Olsen. On the other was winner Thomas and his campaign manager Wayne. While on the line could be seen Reiner, Mad-igan and Kerdyk. Quips were passed back and forth as the time grew short. Voters on their way to the polls were escorted by a member of each army and usually entered the voting booth with a card clutched in each fist. Despite this things were pretty quiet until wild wit Fowler came along. Immediately she created a stir of excitement by declaring that she was on her way to cast her eleventh ballot and only fudge sundaes could buy her vote. Being familiar with the Fowler graft no one offered to buy-so Flo voted only ten times. About this time the candiates became desperate. I saw one poor helpless female forced down the hall into the polls with Dozier, a Thomas sup- porter, baring his teeth in a wicked grin as Olsen lost out in the race for last whispered advice. Students who had never before voted in a student election were dragged out of hiding and forced to cast a ballot. By this time the floor of the hall was strewn with discarded cards ond posters. The rivalry grew more tense. Elsasser leeced around, making faces and patting people on the back by turn. H e a n d Olsen maintained a stony silence due to the fact that they hesitate to speak to each other in public. “Desprit” Franklin loped down the hall to be greeted by a hail from the Thomas forces and a grunt from the Boyle fans. About this time little ray of sunshine Madigan began to apple polish each side. Thwarted in these attempts he amused himself by figuring out his chances of winning. The results were so discouraging that he lapsed into a gloomy silence. But things didn’t really quiet down. The watchers were tired out by the time the three-thirty bell saved the day. Both contingents swept down upon the polls to watch the transfer of the ballot box to the counting ropm. The Honor Court en-aered the chamber followed by representatives of the candidates and that ended the campaign. rEven Better Than Last Year” Is Verdict Of Students On 1938 Ibis Out This Week By Betty Hayes The commotion caused by the ap pearance of the 1937-38 Ibis put an idea into the usually thick head of your Inquiring Reporter and she set out down the hall, armed with her notebook, to find out what the student body really thinks of the annual. She all but bumped into Thomas John Moore who was ambling along, head down, muttering to himself. In answer to the usual question he murmured hurriedly, ‘I think it’s all right-- par excellence-best in the country- hope I pass physics,” and disappeared in a cloud of dust. Rounding a corner she came upon Bill Hartnett seriously studying the campaign posters. His reply was, “It’s a very good publication with excellent photography, but it lacked the 1937 M Club field day results that previous publications included. I admire its unconventionality.” Puzzling over how to spell unconventionality, your reporter stumbled down the steps and into the rotunda Authoritiet Issue Parking Warnings Administrative authorities have again issued a reminder to students that parking automobiles adjacent to the University building is illegal. Coral Gables police have repeatedly warned students that violations of this city order will result in arrests. where she found the Dutch twins, Ethel Failey and AI Holt having such fun! After nineteen minutes of deep concentration on the question they trilled, “I-bis it’s all right! Your reporter, staggering slightly from the impact of that one, proceeded out into the fresh air and found Dagmar Fripp and Paul Miller sitting on one of the benches, talking intently. Their answers were a great deal the same, Dagmar’s “I think it’s better this year than it’s ever been. The cover is beautiful, more quality.” Paul added, “Shoot-I like it!” Gus Hanley and Lu Haas were sitting on the table at the cafeteria entrance when the question was popped “How do you like this year’s Ibis?” Their replies were: Gus: “It’s a heck of a good picture of me!” Lu: “I think so too ” Benny Sinkus was just entering the cafeteria when Y. R. caught up with him. His offering was, “I like it fine, especially the magazine section. It’s twice as good as last year, in fact it’s damn good!” Inside the cafeteria George Halla-han was getting a coca cola and between sips said. “It’s swell, a good book. Some of the pictures could have been better— Ethel’s doesn’t do her justice.” Your Reporter became engrossed in a coke and decided that she had gotten a pretty fair cross-section of the University, and came to the conclusion that the school is properly nnnreHfltive of another prize-winning Ibis. Run-offs for Secretary And Treasurer Offices Polling a total of 337 votes against Brad Boyle’s 238, Joe Thomas, underdog candidate for the student government presidency, swept into office yesterday on the tide of the largest electorate vote in the history of Univrsity student politics. Thomas, a Pi Chi and junior class president, was generally conceded to be the long shot for the prexy office until yesterday morning when campus independents rallied strongly to his support, sounding the death knell for the political hopes of erstwhile favorite Boyle, Delta Sigma Kappa candidate. Somewhat stunned by his overwhelming victory, the new president collected himself to issue the following statement to a Hurricane, reporter immediately after the results became known. “I am glad the student body put Annual Awards To Be Issued At Convo Friday To Tap New Members For Iron Arrow, Freshman Honor Scholastic Society Tapping for honorary societies, administration of oaths to newly elected student goverment officers, and presentation of trophies and awards will feature the final assembly of the year tomorrow in the auditorium. A participation trophy offered by William C. Coffin, member of the Board of Trustees, will be presented to the campus social organization most prominent in extra-curricula activities. The award will be made on the basis of points won in debating, journalism, glee clubs, and dramatics. Freshmen who have earned high scholastic averages during their first University year are to be tapped for the Freshman Honorary Scholastic society, honorary freshman fraternity. John Junkin, retiring chief justice of the Honor Court, will then administer the oath of office to the newly elected student government officers. Awards will be made by the athletic department in boxing, tennis, and swimming. With its impressive Ssminole Indian ceremony to the beat of the tom-tom the Iron Arrow, men’s honorary fraternity, will tap outstanding third term juniors and seniors for membership, closing the final assembly of the University year. Nu Kappa Tau Taps Nine New Members In Last Assembly Nine University women who were tapped by Nu Kappa Tau, woman’s honorary, in last Friday’s assembly include Helene Couch, Fay Taylor, Arlene Richardson, Rubilou Jackson, Eleanor Matteson, Jane Mercer, Freda Speizman, Margaret Shillington and Florence Fowler. The organization represents the highest honor a woman can attain while at the University. Enrollment is limited to third year juniors and senior women who are judged on the basis of scholarship, leadership on campus, character, citizenship, cooperation, attitude and courtesy. A maximum of nine members may be selected each year by unanimous vote of the members together with the approval of the faculty organizations Charter members include Keva Al-committee. bury, Sarah Bergh, Nedra Brown, Elizabeth Curran, Julie Davitt, Mary Frohberg, Marcia Hargrove, Marie Reichard, and Audrey Rothenberg. Contributiont Wanted For Literary Magazine Simon Hochberger, instructor in journalism, requests that all students interested in a staff position on a new University magazine report to his office, room 207, tomorrow at 2:30. The magazine, still in the formative stages, is expected to contain essays, verse, and articles of both a serious and light nature, and will publish ten issues during the com- such confidence in me and gave me the responsibilities which go with the office. I promise most faithfully and sincerely to make myself worthy of that confidence. Always the interests of the University and the student body will be before me.” Takes Office Tomorrow Thomas’ 99 majority vote in the total of 610 cast marked the largest student electorate in the history of the University student government. He will succeed Tom Condon as president of the student body tomorrow morning when he takes the oath of office along with other new government officers. Said Boyle to the Hurricane reporter, “I am perfectly satisfied. It was the choice of the students. 1 appreciate the support I did get, and I’m sure that Joe will prove capable.” Other new officers elected include: vice president, Ray Fordham; chief justice of the Honor Court, John Brion; and associate justices, Martha Dorn, Joan Goeser, George Hamilton, Jack Madigan, Jerry Weinkle, and Jerry Williamson. Run-offs will be held for the office of secretary between Betty Goff and Rubilou Jack-son, for treasurer between Frank Kerdyk and Tony Vandenberg, and for prosecuting attorney between Al Spar and Andrew Burke. For the office of vice-president, Ray Fordham, gangling Alpha Phi Omega president, decisively defeated Nancy Shepherd, Lambda Phi and junior class vice-president, by a vote of 334 to 237. Tommy Edwards, Alpha Theta newcomer, with 143 votes, was eliminated for the office of secretary, leaving the race to Betty Goff. Delta Tau, who polled 186, and Rubilou Jackson, Chi Omega, with 243, who will fight it out in a run-off to be held Monday, May 23, 8:30 to 1:00 in room 283. Run-off For Treasurer Tony Vandenberg, Phi Mu Alpha, and Frank Kerdyk, independent, who were unlisted on the ballot, received 156 and 137 votes respectively for treasurer of the student government. The close vote will necessitate a runoff. John Brion, Delta Sig, was unopposed for the office of chief justice of the Honor Court, he will succeed John Junkin. A run-off will be held also for the office of prosecuting attorney of the Honor Court between Al Spar, Tau Epsilon Phi, and Andrew Burke, Phi Beta Gamma, both students in the Law School.

The rivalry grew more tense. Elsasser leeced around, making faces and patting people on the back by turn. H e a n d Olsen maintained a stony silence due to the fact that they hesitate to speak to each other in public. “Desprit” Franklin loped down the hall to be greeted by a hail from the Thomas forces and a grunt from the Boyle fans. About this time little ray of sunshine Madigan began to apple polish each side. Thwarted in these attempts he amused himself by figuring out his chances of winning. The results were so discouraging that he lapsed into a gloomy silence. But things didn’t really quiet down. The watchers were tired out by the time the three-thirty bell saved the day. Both contingents swept down upon the polls to watch the transfer of the ballot box to the counting ropm. The Honor Court en-aered the chamber followed by representatives of the candidates and that ended the campaign. rEven Better Than Last Year” Is Verdict Of Students On 1938 Ibis Out This Week By Betty Hayes The commotion caused by the ap pearance of the 1937-38 Ibis put an idea into the usually thick head of your Inquiring Reporter and she set out down the hall, armed with her notebook, to find out what the student body really thinks of the annual. She all but bumped into Thomas John Moore who was ambling along, head down, muttering to himself. In answer to the usual question he murmured hurriedly, ‘I think it’s all right-- par excellence-best in the country- hope I pass physics,” and disappeared in a cloud of dust. Rounding a corner she came upon Bill Hartnett seriously studying the campaign posters. His reply was, “It’s a very good publication with excellent photography, but it lacked the 1937 M Club field day results that previous publications included. I admire its unconventionality.” Puzzling over how to spell unconventionality, your reporter stumbled down the steps and into the rotunda Authoritiet Issue Parking Warnings Administrative authorities have again issued a reminder to students that parking automobiles adjacent to the University building is illegal. Coral Gables police have repeatedly warned students that violations of this city order will result in arrests. where she found the Dutch twins, Ethel Failey and AI Holt having such fun! After nineteen minutes of deep concentration on the question they trilled, “I-bis it’s all right! Your reporter, staggering slightly from the impact of that one, proceeded out into the fresh air and found Dagmar Fripp and Paul Miller sitting on one of the benches, talking intently. Their answers were a great deal the same, Dagmar’s “I think it’s better this year than it’s ever been. The cover is beautiful, more quality.” Paul added, “Shoot-I like it!” Gus Hanley and Lu Haas were sitting on the table at the cafeteria entrance when the question was popped “How do you like this year’s Ibis?” Their replies were: Gus: “It’s a heck of a good picture of me!” Lu: “I think so too ” Benny Sinkus was just entering the cafeteria when Y. R. caught up with him. His offering was, “I like it fine, especially the magazine section. It’s twice as good as last year, in fact it’s damn good!” Inside the cafeteria George Halla-han was getting a coca cola and between sips said. “It’s swell, a good book. Some of the pictures could have been better— Ethel’s doesn’t do her justice.” Your Reporter became engrossed in a coke and decided that she had gotten a pretty fair cross-section of the University, and came to the conclusion that the school is properly nnnreHfltive of another prize-winning Ibis. Run-offs for Secretary And Treasurer Offices Polling a total of 337 votes against Brad Boyle’s 238, Joe Thomas, underdog candidate for the student government presidency, swept into office yesterday on the tide of the largest electorate vote in the history of Univrsity student politics. Thomas, a Pi Chi and junior class president, was generally conceded to be the long shot for the prexy office until yesterday morning when campus independents rallied strongly to his support, sounding the death knell for the political hopes of erstwhile favorite Boyle, Delta Sigma Kappa candidate. Somewhat stunned by his overwhelming victory, the new president collected himself to issue the following statement to a Hurricane, reporter immediately after the results became known. “I am glad the student body put Annual Awards To Be Issued At Convo Friday To Tap New Members For Iron Arrow, Freshman Honor Scholastic Society Tapping for honorary societies, administration of oaths to newly elected student goverment officers, and presentation of trophies and awards will feature the final assembly of the year tomorrow in the auditorium.

I promise most faithfully and sincerely to make myself worthy of that confidence. Always the interests of the University and the student body will be before me.” Takes Office Tomorrow Thomas’ 99 majority vote in the total of 610 cast marked the largest student electorate in the history of the University student government. He will succeed Tom Condon as president of the student body tomorrow morning when he takes the oath of office along with other new government officers. Said Boyle to the Hurricane reporter, “I am perfectly satisfied. It was the choice of the students. 1 appreciate the support I did get, and I’m sure that Joe will prove capable.” Other new officers elected include: vice president, Ray Fordham; chief justice of the Honor Court, John Brion; and associate justices, Martha Dorn, Joan Goeser, George Hamilton, Jack Madigan, Jerry Weinkle, and Jerry Williamson.
