Dusoiina Giannini to Sing At Second Concert Sunday
Interpreter of such operatic roles as “Aida,” “Carmen,” and
“Donna Anna” for the Metropolitan opera company, Dusoiina Giannini will be soprano soloist with Dr. Modeste Alloo and the University symphony orchestra .Sunday afternoon in their second concert of the season. To begin at 4:15, the program will be played in the Miami Senior high school Symphony Hall.
A product of* American musical education, Mme. Giannini has received all her training in this country. She began her studies with her father, Ferruccio Giannini, a tenor, who had sung in opera with Adelina Patti and who had been recognized as outstanding. Her whole family was musical, her brother being a composer and her sister a violinist. When Marcella Sembrich “discovered” her talents, she continued her studies under that great singer.
She made her debut quite by chance when Anna Case, who was to appear with the Schola Can-torumr was suddenly taken ill. Mme. Giannini took her place and was immediately booked for over forty appearances that season.
Because she feels that music should always be sung in the language in which it was written, the soprano has mastered five languages. She always makes a careful study of the operatic character she portrays, combining dramatic ability with her musical excellence.
With the orchestra Sunday afternoon Mme. Giannini will sing Beethoven’s “Ah! Perfido'; Thomas’s “Connais tu le pays” from Mignon, and “Plus grand dans son obscurité” from Gounod’s Reine de Saba. Dr. Alloo will conduct the orchestra in Tschai-kowsky’s “March Slav,” Schumann’s Symphony Number Three in E flat, and Moussorgsky’s “Night on Bald Mountain.”
District Officers To Inspect V-12s
Capt. Lawrence Wild, director of training, Seventh Naval district, and Lt. E. B. Moyland, assistant director of training, will be on hand tomorrow for the regular trimester inspection of the Navy V-12 unit. Capt. Wild will review the men on the parade grounds and will later confer with V-12 officers and University officials. This will be Caipt. Wild’s second visit to the campus to review the unit.
Lt. (j. g.) Pete Rustkon and Lt. J. S. Meyer were guests at last Saturday’s review. Lt. Rustkon was formerly connected with the Navy College program in Washington and is now on training duty in this area. Lt. Meyer is the father of A/S James Meyer of the local V-12 unit.
Also present were Lt. Jack Harding and Lt. (j. g.) Hart Morris, University football coaches, now on leave—ASG
Majority Voices "No" In Hurricane Poll On Point System
Discussion of the point system, its advantages and its fallacies, has reached the Slop Shop and other popular dens of congregation. Due to this widespread attention, it has merited a poll of student opinion.
Sebastian Sisti, varsity debater: The point system, or any policy that would achieve identical ends, is no more than an unjustified curtailment of the individual’s right to exercise freely his natural abilities that have led the masses to call him leader.
Jane Mack, president of Chi Omega and vice-president of junior class: It’s up to the individual to budget his own time. No such program should be enforced. In a very large school it would be advisable, but not in a school as small as ours. I still believe in the old saying: “If you want something done, give it to a busy person.”
Lillian Alderman, treasurer of the student government: In the present situation only a few have the time as well as the ability to participate actively. These few should be allowet. to do this. Others evidently aren’t interested, or they would be participating.
Jean Troetschel, sophomore: It removes the incentive to work. Those who were formerly considered incapable because better leaders were available should not be considered capable now because the point ¡system is in effect ,
Doris Malmud, junior class secretary: I believ* the point system is unnecessary. If other students were deserving of of-offices, they would have obtained them before P. S. There must be followers as well as leaders.
Joe Heard, ;V-12: A good worker should nclt be limited. It’s too much like regimentation. I
also think competition would be seriously cut by the enforcement of the point system.
Earl Kruse, junior class treasurer: lm in favor of the P. S. because I believe it will put more people into office.
Ed Szymanski, junior host: It’s too complicated and would be impossible to enforce.
Audrey Goldwyn, treasurer of the senior class: At present there are too few interested students; the point system will make for a more cooperative student body.
Edison Archer, junior president: Undemocratic. Limits good people. Not enough capable or interested students on campus.
Louise Maroon, junior: With things as they are now I’m not in favor of the point system.
Syde Josepher, junior: The P. S. gives more people the chance to compete in school activities.— AL A LC

For two years now Freshman Frolics, the annual dance of the “Rat” class, has been a “thing of the past.” Lack of cooperation has been the main hindrance in keeping this affair off of the records.
