Frosh Elect Officers Again— Legally, This Time, By Golly
Honor Court vigilance held sway in the University Theatre, where the freshman class, under strict check and double check, elected almost the identical slate of officers thrown out by the Honor Court last week.

Hochberger Says Ibis Probably Will Be Late
Simon Hochberger, journalism advisor, gave out the following statement last night concerning the 1941 Ibis:
“Rumors that the 1941 ‘Ibis’ will be late are true. Arrangements will have to be made to distribute the book after the close of the semester.
“The fault is not the staff’s. Those who are responsible are the students themselves—seniors whose statistics were not turned in when requested, students whose photographs were made weeks after the deadline, organizations whose pages could not be completed because they did not respond to the editor’s repeated requests for their write-ups.
“This year's disappointing experience makes it clear that beginning next year, organizations and individuals who do not meet the deadlines set by the staff will have -^to be omitted from the ‘Ibis’.”
Froternities Plan Open Rushing
Fraternities will participate in “wide-open” rushing next fall, when the new rush rules drafted and approved by the Interfraternity Council at the Lambda Chi house last Thursday night go into effect.
The new rush rules are that freshmen may be rushed, pledged, and moved into fraternity houses anytime after Sunday, September 14. For a three week period following. pledges may be broken by either pledge or fraternity and new affiliations made.
Friday night, September 19, an Interfraternity Dance, sponsored by member frats, will be held in honor of frosh rushees. Several other events have been planned for that week, but no formal rush week has been scheduled as in past years.

treasurer. Senators for next year’s sophomores are Jake Watson, Tony Roth, and Barbara Neblett.
As each frosh filed into the election room, Anella Blanton, clerk of the Honor Court, checked his or her name on the list of eligible freshman voters procured from the Registrar. Then, after the doors had been closed, Chief Justice Mort Berman called the entire roll of the freshman class, some 500 names, checking absences. The entire procedure, including balloting by secret ballot and checking took over an hour and a half.
Results of freshman voting of Tuesday of last week were declared null and void by the Honor Court the following Wednesday because of unnamed “certain conditions” during the first balloting.

"Spring Dance’ Opens Tonight in Theatre
“Spring Dance.” Philip Barry’s comedy of life in a New England girls’ school, opens tonight at 8:30 in the Playmakers’ Theatre as the season’s closing production, directed by Fred Koch, Jr., for the University of Miami Playmakers. Performances will be repeated on Friday and Saturday nights.
Technical Director Charles Phil-hour’s two new sets are unlike the sets of any production of this year in their use of ultra-modern furniture and strong, bright colors.
Written by the author of “Philadelphia Story,” the play concerns a serious-minded senior, Alexandra Benson, and her sister classmates who help her “get her man.” How they do it constitutes the comedy.
Alex Benson will be played by Barbara Neblett, Sam Thatcher by Donald Mahn, Kate McKim by Mary Alice Kirton, Mady Platt by Natalie Allen, Sally Prescott by Alice Guenther, Frances Fenn by Mimi Markette, John Hatton by Bour Brown, Buck Buchanan by Jake Watson, Doc Boyd by Gordon Sherwood, Professor Walter Beckett by Lai Edwards, Miss Ritchie by Jane Knight, and Mildred, the maid, by Joyce Davlin.
Activity books may be exchanged for reserved seats in the book store until 4:30. The box-office will be open, on performance nights, from 4:30 to 8:30.
Board To Seek Air Cadets Here
Unit Two of the U.S. Army Air Corps’ traveling flying cadet examining board will be at the University of Miami June 7, 8, 9, to examine and recommend University men for appointment as flying cadets.
This traveling board started work in March, and will have visited 55 other Southern colleges and universities before it reaches here. The board gives or arranges for
the giving of the required physical and educational exams required <>f applicants for positions as Army Air Corps flying cadets.
Applicants must have completed 60 hours of college training, two years of normal college work, and be between the ages of 20 and 26. They will be required to furnish three letters of recommendation, a transfer of their college credits, and their birth certificates. If they
do not have the required 60 hours, they must take and pass the educational exam. The physical examination is compulsory.
Men from each college will probably be kept together as a unit during their training, as the following War Department statement explains:
The War Department has arranged to train students from individual educational institu-
tions as particular groups. Each such group will be known as a Flying Cadet Unit consisting of 20 qualified Flying Cadet applicants, the unit bearing the designation of the educational institution or a particular locality; such as, “Duke University Flying Cadet Unit No. 1.” The second unit would be known as “Duke University Flying Cadet No. 2.”
Members of a college or city unit will be assigned to the same elementary flying school, and the same class thereat. Every effort will be made to complete their flying training together.
