New "Prop" Designed
By Aviation Dept.
A new propellor of revolution- j ary construction has been designed and tested' in the University Aviation shop. This propellor has been designed by Wilson and Bates, two experienced tool makers, work i'ng under the supervision of Fred H. Given.
This new propellor was tested for tensile strength last Sunday, behind closed doors, and the tests were very satisfactory. The blade-of it are so constructed that through an adjustment by th" pilot while in the cockpit, the pitch can be changed through an angle of sixty degrees.
This new development is said to be of great value as the pitch of the propellor can be changed while in the air to increase climbing speed, and also to decrease landing speed.
The Heath Monoplane that was completed here last year by the students of the Aviation course, which was slightly wrecked two weeks ago, is nearly ready for the final touches of dope and linen. The efforts of the Aviation class will then be turned to completing the other two planes which are being built.

William B. Gaywood who is associated with the publicity department of the University of Miami returned Tuesday afternoon from Havana.

Pictures of the entire freshman squad on the steps of the University of Havana also constitute a small portion of many pictures made in that city.
When asked about the flight Mr. Gaywood stated, “It was the most enjoyable flight I have ever taken. Probably the most interesting scene was that of the Florida Keys from an altitude of 6000 feet and traveling at a rate of 115 miles in hour."

1 50 Men Investigate
Employment Project
George E. Merrick’s plan for student employment reached a further stage of development last week-end when he and a party of men students from the University completed a series of observation trips to Matecumbe Key, wher-Mr. Merrick expects to employ as many as possible from 150 students showing interest in this project. Employment at first will be the sale of excursion tickets at four dollars each to Matecumbe, where various forms of amusements will be offered. The tickets will have attached to them coupons' which will give the holders access to the fishing pier where fishing equipment will be furnished; the yacht club; the swimming pier, where there will be separate bathing areas for men and women and a director of both. Students proving themselves capable as lecturers will be engaged in conducting and directing these excursions. Later the tickets may be extended to women students who become interested in this project.
Jij&nie Abras, John Allen, and Marvin Greer furnished excitement for the party when the boat in which they were sailing capsized about a mile off the coast. There were no disastrous results, however, and the party returned safely. «According to reports from the men who made the trip this venture should prove successful.
