A U. wrestling championships held m New York City April 4 and 5. lindstrom proved to be the sensation of the tournament, going to the final round in the heavyweight championship bouts, but was defeated by the powerful Earle Mc-Cready of the Oklahoma Aggies, indy” need feel no discredit beef this defeat, as McCready ii the national title holder and has
keen the Canadian heavyweight title holder for the past three Tears. Before meeting McCready, Lindstrom eliminated Willard G. Triest, the New York City metropolitan heavyweight champion, in on* of the hardest fought bouts of the tourney. Triest was favored to *in, but he was unsuccessful in every attempt to down the elusive University of Miami wrestler. In the last two minutes of the match Undstrom downed Triest twice, thus getting _ ten points and winning the judges’ decision.
Inexperience was the chief facto* in the downfall of Hauser, Clayton and Weilbacker. Paul Clay-ten was thrown by M. L. Costner of the Oklahoma Aggies, the national collegiate champion. Hauser, who • 1928 won the 170-pound class ••>1 III. astern Olympic tryouts, lost to Charles Manoly of the Boston L M. C. A. on a decision, while Weilbacker lost to Herbert Kullman •f the New York A.

general way has been a revision of the German type machine. It is a monoplane and has a bucket seat for one. The wiqgs are to be covered with canvass, of course, but the fuselage is open frame-work. The controls are identical with those of a motored ship, with the exception of the meters and gadgets found in the average cockpit.
Fred H. Given, supervising the work in a general way, has deviated from the original specifications to some extent, and is making some changes for the sake of safety. The glider will come up to the U. S. Navy standards ana1 specifications of safety. These changes will make the plane somewhat heavier than was at first anticipated, but will not reduce its efficiency any any great extent The fuselage was made entirely by Fred Given and represents many hours of patient work. As it stands now, ready to have the wings attached, it is light enough to lift easily with one hand.
Because of the additional features added, to the ship, unusual difficulty has been experienced in purchasing materials needed1 for its construction. Every aviation shop, second-hand store and aeroplane junk yard within a radius of fifty miles has been scoured in the attempt to buy materials. The boys wish to thank the Miami Aircraft Corporation for their cooperation and aid in obtaining many of the desired parts.
Professor Given has also m ade six successful glider flights.

To the Students o fthe University
of Miami:
On May 17, 1927, the students of the University of Miam ¡adopted the present constitution of the University of Miami. In it provision was made for a Judicial Depart ment, consisting of an Honor Court, composed of six Justices, a Chief Justice, a Prosecuting Attorney and a Clerk. It, the Honor theCourt, was given civil and penal jurisdiction in all matters pertaining to the Student Association of the University of Miami.
By Article VIII of the Constitution, the Honor Code was made a part of the law of the University of Miami. It made stealing, cheating and any contributory action a menace to the welfare and good name of the student body of the university; offenses punishable after due trial by the Honor Court.
It also made it the cfuty of every student to report any of the above offenses.
The faculty was relieved of the duty of remaining in the class room while tests and examinations were being conducted and everything seemed to be functioning smoothly. Nothing will be said concerning the year and a half between the adoption of the constitution and the beginning of the present school year because the writer has only such information that he obtained while sitting on the Honor Court and that may not be divulged.
This year, however, the things which have actually token place should be brought before the stu dent body and they permitted to decide for themselves whether or not the Honor Code still serves its original purpose.
Beginning with the second week of the present school year serious offenses, such as petty larceny and other offenses against the good (Continued on Page Two.)
Milkweed Plant Growing: in Miami District; Valuable For Leather Dressing
Alfred H. Gilbert, professor of botany at the University of Miami, has brought to light a sub-tropical plant that seems t« have some unusual commercial value. The possibility of its being used as a commercial object was discovered with the aid of a winter visitor searching for materials for leather dressings while vacationing here.
A recent news article regarding a foundation for tropical plant research led to a conference between this visitor, Mrs. Erich G. Keiner, connected with the manufacturers of leather dressing, and Professor Gilbert, who was responsible for the article. Shortly after this a vine was discovered in the Brickell Hammock which bears a fruit containing a viscid, milky juice. This plant seems to contain materials suitable for leather processes.
The vine belongs to the milkweed family, but its actual classification requires further verification. It grows to a height of Fifteen or twenty feet, climbing over small trees and shrubs. The blossoms are inconspicuous, while the fruit resembles a small citron in size, shape and color, except that it has a mottling of green and white. The juice is thick and milky and apparently contains a high percentage of starches and albumens, possibly also vegetable proteins in the form of vegetable casein. The fluid is fairly abundant and it* recovery on a commercial scale should be feasible, provided the plant can be propagated in quantity. Specimens of the fruit are now on the way to be examined in the laboratory of Keiner and Company to ascertain whether or not any objectionable constituents are present in the joke.
This plant of the milkweed va-(Continued on Page Four.)
