MIAMI WATERMEN GRACE ROYAL PRESENCES IN NASSAU
In the above example of the engraver’s art. the Duke and Duchess of Windsor are shown greeting Larry “If-you-can-find-him” Kaplan, of the Miami mermen.
That, in the bathing suit, is ‘Pappy’ Howland, one of the ten characters on our campus who are blessed beyond ordinary men. They are the lads who are going around
with their hands in cellophane wrappings, and who waste their words on a lucky few.
In the olden days, a court presentation was planned and worried about for weeks, and talked about for years. But royalty is a mere nothing to our swimming team after Friday’s meet in Nassau, under the patronage of H.R.H. the Duke of Windsor, and Her Grace, the duchess.

New Agreement To Aid Teachers
Graduate teachers who were trained according to the general pattern of teacher training will in the future be able to secure teacher's certificates without difficulty in any of the Southern states, it was decided at a conference of Southern Educators held in Atlanta this week. Dr. Charles Foster, dean of Miami’s school of education, attended the conference representing the Florida Teacher Education Advisory Council.
“A most successful example of interstate cooperation,” Dr. Foster labeled the conference’s decision, which removes some of the barriers aimed at limiting teachers’ training certificates to use only within states.
States cooperating in the interlocking agreement are Florida, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Texas.

News from our three main exponents of army life is depressingly incomplete. Latest reports merely state that Beusse is saved from the draft for a few slim weeks, Dr. O’Brien won’t talk, and Franklin will. I.ast week the campus was in an uproar (for it) about poor Mr.
National Defense
Three Views
Beusse, who was to be drafted without even finishing out the school year in his capacity as graduate manager of athletics. Jim took his physical, and passed too, so there! and had bid fond adieus when he was informed that the draft board had passed him by this time. Next time, however he will be trapped, and that may be within a few weeks, or a few months.
Jim has become of a philosophical turn of mind about the
whole affair. He represents the neutral side of the army issue, while Franklin, last year’s Hurricane editor, now corporal at Ft. Jackson, takes the pro, and Dr. O’Brien, unofficially and with reservations, upholds the con.
Jim figures it had to come, and he says he’s ready for it. He believes in living for the present. He says he is prepared for hardships and inconveniences, and hopes to make the best of them, and work
up. Our Mr. Beusse is, among other things, a fatalist. When asked if he expected to return to the Universtiy or if he was prepared to meet his death on a field of battle he explained that he would go when his time came and not sooner. As for returning, he doesn’t know. That will be decided by the outcome of ensuing events.
Charlie Franklin, on the other hand, is all for it. One almost suspects him of being a recruiting officer, with a commission on every fish he lands. Charles is here in Miami on leave, the picture of health, full of vim and vigor, and all the other trite statements.
Charlie is in the artillery, and
