Dr- fc. F. Ashe Again
Heads   Miami   "U"
The University of Miami has in
Jts president, Dr. Bowman F. Ashe,
a man more qualified both by education and experience to fulfill the
obligations imposed upon him in
his official capacity than perhaps
any other irdtttution \n the country.
Although only a young man as
compared to other University presidents, we could not have a more
competent man than he, especially
during this period of youthfulness.
Deyite the blows dealt to the
University by the hurricane and
the collapse of the "boom," Dr.
Ashe has persevered and has enabled us to still have a Univenity.
In 1903, he was enrolled as a
freshman in Mount Union College
at Alliance, Ohio. He did not remain there for a full four-year
course, but began teaching school,
after three years of college. From
1906 until 1912 he taught in the
elementary schools, was a high
school teacher and principal and
was superintendent of schools in
both California and Pennsylvania.
In 1912 he returned to college and
was granted the degree ot Bachelor of Science by the University
of Pittsburgh. After leaving Pitt
he took graduate work at both
Carnegie Tech and the University
of California. Although possessing
more than enough credits for a
Master's degree, Dr. Ashe has
never applied for such a degree.
From   1914  until  1919  he  was
employed by the American Metal

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.

are from other states.

NEW MEMBERS
IN ATHLETIC GROUP
Two   New   Coaches   and   Athletic
Director This 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 wondeerful success.
We have with us this year as
our football mentor Coach J. Bur-
ton 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
fave .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
business aside and seek his real

FIRST SENATE
MEETING HELD
Policies  of  This  Year  Are
Discussed By President
Lindstrom
At the first meeting of the student meeting this year held last
Thursday many important policies
at the new student government
were discussed and a very ambitious program outlined for the
coming year.
Ron Willey, Chief Justice of the
Honor Court, swore in the new
members of the senate with the
following oath:
"I do solemnly swear that I will,
to the best of my ability, preserve,
protect, defend and enforce the
provisions of the Constitution and
Laws of the Senate and the Decrees of the Honor Court, of the
Student Association of the University of Miami. I also solemnly
swear that I will exercise the utmost care to maintain a high code
of honor and standard of conduct
to uphold the good name of my
Alma Mater. I also solemnly swear
that I will diligently, faithfully
and conscientiously perform all my
duties aa an officer of the Student
Association.   So help me God."
George Lins was then elected
secretary of the senate and instructed to poet minutes of each
meeting on the bulletin board within one day after each meeting to
give each student the chance to
know what is going on in the senate meetings.
October 24 was set aa the day
for the electio-- at m tammhmm at
the Honor Court to fill the vacancy
left by the failure of Helen Bias.
A resolution was passed authorizing Patricia Arnold to have
charge of the bulletin boards. All
notices to be placed there have to
be typewritten on standard size
paper and a careful check is to be
kept on the ads to keep the out-
of-date off the bulletin.
George O'Kell was appointed to
be in charge of the student employment bureau. All students interested in obtaining jobs should
get in touch with O'Kell at once.
Other matters to be discussed at
the next senate meeting Thursday
are social affairs, publications, assemblies, appropriations and the
revision of the student body constitution to present needs of the
student body.
The following are the senators
present at the first meeting: Patricia Arnold, Lulah Codington,
Dick Pomeroy, Ed Wright, George
Lins, Ray Stimmel, Frannie Hauser, Louise Warren, Everett Hilty,
Frank Parsons, Ted Bleier, Gavin
Millar, Brodie Talbot, Katherine
Wickham and George O'Kell.
