The opening of the University of Miami for its fourth session was marked by the entrance of many new students, not only from the Miami area, but also a large number from other states.
The total number of registered students is not available at the present time, but it is well over 400.
A much larger enrollment was expected, but many students, especially those from the north, were delayed in entering by the storm the week-end of registration.
One hundred eighty-three new students have registered for the year 1929-30. Of this number 58 are from other states.
New students are: Mabel Abras, Fresh. Bus. Ad., Miami; Harold Austin, Fresh. Bus. A<L, New York

NEW MEMBERS
IN ATHLETIC GROUP
Two New Coaches and Athletic Director Tlás Year
The athletics are managed this year by a group of business men headed by Dr. Gilbert H. White. The men are taking upon their shoulders the responsibility of both financing and managing all intercollegiate sports this year. They are getting jobs for the boys who otherwise would not be able to go to school. Without their help athletics would not be on as firm a basis as they now are.
They have secured the use of Miami Field for the games to be played on. This is a much more desirable location for both students and the public. The attendance will be several times greater than it has been heretofore. They have a publicity manager who will constantly keep the town people informed on the athletic situation. Athletics are now being promoted at Miami as they are in other schools. Through the help of these men headed by Dr. White, as athletic director, the whole athletic year should be a wonderful success.
We have with us this year as our football mentor Coach J. Burton Rix. Coach Rix comes to us with a successful career at Southern Methodist University, the^ University of Texas, Southwestern University and ,at Dartmouth. He coaches three sports, football, basketball and track. He has coached teams that played against Southern Conference teams with great success.
One needs only to mention the name Rix in Texas to cause much fare, able comment on his ability as a football mentor. His love for the game is what makes him a wonderful coach. He. decided to quit the coaching game and went into business, but his longings for the gridiron caused him to lay aside and seek his real (Continued oa Page 4)
