Peruvian I* Acting Head Of Latin American Dept. Here
Mr. Rafael Belaunde, sr., acting head of the Latin American department at the university, returned to Miami Monday after an absence of over seven months. He will take charge of his classes in Spanish, Spanish American Commercial Geography, Commercial Spanish next week.
Mr. Belaunde left the University of Miami last April and went to his native country. Peru, to take charge of the organization of a new political bloc—a political organization which would exclude politicians. He spent five months in getting the various leaders of commerce, industry, education and economics to cooperate in order to elect a new coalition government similar to the present McDonald government in England.
Mr. Belaunde left South America about two months ago, and spent four weeks in New York with his family. He then attended the Pan American Union conference in Washington, as a delegate.
After the close of the congress Dr. Belaunde made a tour of sixteen eastern and middle-western cities, inspecting the mills and factories in those communities.
Dr. Rafael Belaunde has been with the university since 1929. His brother, Dr. Victor Belaunde, is the official director of the Latin American department, and will return here for .the second semester. He is now in Peru.
The handy mailbox in the corridor of the main building of the university, which has been appreciated by many students this year, was placed there through the cour tesy of Mr. Owen W. Pittman, postmaster of Miami and a staunch friend of- the university.

The University of Miami Hurricanes play Western Kentucky at Bowling Green, Ky., tomorrow afternoon, in the first of a series of three games away from their own stamping grounds.
On Wednesday, Armistice Day, Nov. 11, they move to Paducah, Ky., for a contest with the Thoroughbreds of Murray State Teachers College, and wind up the road trip with an engagement at Murfreesboro, Tenn., home of the Middle Tennessee Teachers.
Coach McCann wil take a squad of about 24 men, including Koz-lowski, center; Dansky, Peterniche, Siler, and O’Day, guards; Graczyk, Howard, Heckman, and Puglisi, tackles; Cronin, Middleton, Lee, and Kaveny.ends; Stoddard, Bates, Crowe, Hansen, Moore, Reichgott, Downes, L’ltalien, and Bowlby, backs. Dr. Kitchen, Dr. Henshaw, and Robby Robertson, student manager, will accompany the team.
Several men may be added to the squad before its departure. Lanier, a back, and Fahrenfeld, a guard, are the possible additions. Bill Fenwick, veteran center and end, is laid up with a bad leg injury and cannot make the trip.
The above group includes no freshmen, contrary to previous expectations and reports. The Tennessee Teachers agreed to let Miami use freshmen, but the two other Hurricane opponents, Western Kentucky and Murray Teachers, would not commit themselves, so Poach McCann decided against inclusion of first year men.
Miami will meet three teams of fairly equal strength on their arduous trip, judging by comparative scores. Western Kentucky, the

Contradicting Theories Are Offered On Florida Coast Geology
Geologists who subscribe to contradicting theories leave the question as to whether the University of Miami and the East Coast of Florida will sink into the Atlantic with a loud splash in the next few thousand years stiU in doubt.
Professor Miller, of the department of zoology here, revealed that one group of famous geologists lean toward the theory that the entire tip of the Florida peninsula is slowly sinking. That the peninsula has undergone slight risings and fallings since it first appeared above sea level about twenty-five or thirty thousand years ago is fairly common knowledge, and experts of the above theory claim that there is very little difference between the east and west coasts.
It also appears that there are two types of keys, upper and lower. The lower keys show many more tropical animals and plants than
