Gliders Repaired and Made

The .Aviation Department of the
University is becoming known as
the only place in town where gliders are repaired. Two of these machines belonging to private individuals have been repaired recently.
Under the direction of Professor
Given, a glider made entirely by
students is nearing completion.
Warren Wheaton and Grant Harris were the instigators of this
project.
The machine will weigh approxi

lindstrom proved1 to be the sensa-
tion of the tournament, going to
4m final round in the heavyweight
championship  bouts,  but  was  defeated by the powerful Earle Mc-
Cready of the Oklahoma Aggies.
"Lindy" need feel no discredit be-
tause of this defeat, as McCready

lindstrom   eliminated   Willard   G.

pounds.
33 feet, ine plan loilowel in
general way has been a revision of
the German type machine. It is
a monoplane and has a bucket seat
for one. The wings 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 and1
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 needed 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.

To the Students o fthe University
of Miami:
On May 17, 1927, the students
of the University of Miam iadopted
the present constitution of the University of Miami. In it provision
was made for a Judicial Department, 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 Univer-
Alfred H. Gilbert, professor of
botany at the University of Miami,
has brought to light a sub-tropical
plant that seems to have some unusual commercial value. The pos- j
sibility 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
Members of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet spoke Wednesday, April 2, at

At   Gainesville

For the first time candidates for
the university tennis team were
entered in tbe invitational intercollegiate tennis tournament, sponsored by the University of Florida
at Gainesville March 28 and 29.
Coach Rix accompanied the players, Pomeroy, McClelland, Hansen,
Brooks and English. The best
showing was made by Charley English, who reached the third round
in the singles and was then defeated by a University of Florida
player. ^^
No doubles team was entered.
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 duty 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 taken place
should be brought before the student 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

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
I proteins in the form of vegetable
casein. The fluid is fairly abundant and its 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.
