An Open Letter
To the members of the student body:
Final examinations have come up once more, and again the problem of student honesty has been brought to the fore. All students at the University of Miami are desirous of seeing the University reach the heights it has always been seeking. Being accepted into the Southern Association is already an established fact. To go further is our ambition, but in order to accomplish anything. cheating on exums~must be abolished entirely.
Letters have been sent to the faculty urging them to take all precautions. They are in accord and will cooperate. The main burden must be borne by the students themselves, however.
Cheating is futile—we all know that. By being dishonest on exams, you are not only hurting your school, teachers, and classmates, but you are hurting yourself far more than you may possible realize. It is not fair to yourself to cheat, and the only person you cannot fool is your own self.
The faeully will be strict—they have assured us; we will be strict—we assure you. We ask that you be the same and save us all a lot of trouble.

However, later developments proved that a larger payment is necessary, $457 in total; so a second petition for $125 was presented at the Senate’s regular meeting and was unanimously ap proved.

January 27 to February 2.
Kovacs, who had already beaten Bobby Riggs twice, won his second straight tournament Tuesday when he tripped McNeil at the Orlando matches in three straight sets, 6-2, 6-4, 6-0. “Clown of the Courts” Kovacs put away his comical tactics for a day and bested McNeil with sheer power and determination.
Talented Array
One of the finest arrays of tennis talent to be seen anywhere will be present for the tourney. Bobby Riggs, U.S. number two man, former National and Wimbledon Champion and Davis Cup Team member, shares honors with Kovacs. Wayne Sabin, who is now back on the courts and who was rated number five in 1939, has ac cepted the invitation as has Jack Kramer, U.S. doubles champion and sixth ranking player in the nation. Kramer will team with Miami’s Gardnar Mulloy for the doubles matches of the tourney. Elwood Cooke, long time favorite of the tennis fans and U.S. num her nine, and Hal Surface, ranked twelfth nationally, are also amor.«! the invited few.
Many intercollegiate stars will have a chance to test the University of Miami netters. Frank Guernesy, former Intercollegiate Champion, as well as Gus Ganzen-muller, ex-Columbia star, and Kris-tufek, number one player from the University of Pittsburgh, will be here to attempt to trip Miami’s Intercollegiate Champions. Because of examination conflicts, Ed Alloo and Ed Amark, from Rollins may not be able to come. But Vincent Paul, Pacific Const ace, and Martin Buxby, local netter, will both enter the matches.
The University of Miami w*II be well represented by its squad of netters led by Miami’s amateur coach, Gardnar Mulloy. Mulloy was recently given the ranking of U.S. number seven by the U.S.L.T.A. The entire Miami tennis team will participate as indi viduals and in double teams.
Official« Set
Officials of the University of Miami Invitational tourney will be Dr. Phillip Hawk, who is to be in charge, Art Hendricks, coach at Navy, and Levan Richards, another well known tennis referee in national tennis circles.
For the first time in Miami a scoring machine will be used to post the scores of the matches.
