THE i Vol. XIX Cobal Gables, Florida, December 15, 1944 No. 6 T Assembly To Feature War Talks Beginning with the swing music of the V-12 band, today’s assembly will feature a varied program, including war emphasis talks and the presentation of awards. Chairman Roland Kohen has announced. The emphasis on student war activity will be aided by the presence outside the theater of a mobile unit of the Dade County Blood Bank. The unit will be equipped to take student blood contributions immediately provided they have not eaten for four hours previously. Students giving blood will be excused from class for this purpose. Dressed in a Russian costume, Mrs. Valentina Mitz will speak to students on the need for contributions to the Russian War Relief drive. The campus drive is being sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity. Contributions may be left in room H. Articles especially wanted are: evaporated or condensed milk in lots of one dozen; tinned baby food in dozen lots; hard candies in two pound packages; breakfast cocoa in half dozen lots; six bars of baking chocolate; six packages of raisins; and six cans of baby talcum powder. Awards to be made are: the Miami Fanhellenic Scholarship cup for the highest sorority average to Chi Omega sorority by a Panhel-lenic representative; the William C. Coffin trophy for improvement in scholarship to Zeta Tau Alpha sorority, presented by Dean Ernest McCracken; and the Alpha Epsilon Phi cup for the highest pledge group average to the Chi Omega pledges, awarded by Florence Burstein, president of AE Phi. John Harlow will make a three minute talk. Veterans Organize Own Social Club The 82 veterans who are now enrolled in the University this trimester will shortly have a social club of their own, according to Dean Alter who is aiding it in its organization. Its primary purpose is to assist veterans in every way possible both in financial matters and social affairs. It is definitely not to be a pressure group, to gain special privileges for its members but only to help veterans to re-adjust themselves to civilian life again. A constitution has been drawn up by a four man committee including:—William Clark, Raymond Higdon, Ruth Busa, and Martin Smolens. The constitution is now in the hands of the reviewing committee which includes: David Lee, Hyman Koch, Arthur Laskey, John Cullen, and Alex Wallace. No name has been proposed as yet for the group. It is to be a local organization just for the student-veterans in the University and will not in any way compete with any of the nationally organized veteran groups. SAI's To Sing Carols Dec. 24 Members of Sigma Alpha Iota, national music fraternity for women, will be one of eight groups of Red Cross entertainers who will sing carols in the halls and wards of military convalescent hospitals Dec. 24. Thirteen Band Together For Clean Politics Photo by Art Laskey Stars of “Junior Miss,” University Playmakers production running tonight and tomorrow night, are Phyllis Wolin as Judy and Palmer Martin as Uncle Willie. They are shown above in one of their typical scenes in the play, which is under the direction of Mrs. Opal E. Motter. Thirteen students—they think it’s a lucky number—have banded together to do what they can to support worthy candidates, regardless of affiliatiçns, for school offices. The organization, which will be called the Independent Party of the University of Miami, has been chartered and approved by the committee on student organizations, headed by Dr. Harold E. Briggs. It will be the first political party of its kind in that its membership will be open to any student regardless of his race, religious beliefs, or fraternal affiliation. Directing activities of the Independent party in its embryo stage are the thirteen charter members who are: Marshall Sim-(Continued on Page Six)____________ EnsJhomasMcGuire Dies Aboard Ship Ensign Thomas C. McGuire, III, a University student during 1941-1943, has been reported dead from injuries received aboard his ship. The brother of Mimi McGuire, a senior, Ens. McGuire received his commission a year ago following midshipman schooling at Columbia university. He was assigned to the amphibious service, and is believed to have taken part in the big-scaled operations at Anzio and in Southern France. While at the University, Ens. McGuire was a member of Kappa Sigma fraternity.__________ Basso Ezekiel Does Not Hit Home in Sunday Concert, Reviewer Feels Wellington Ezekiel was heartily applauded by the audience Sunday, Dec. 10, at Miami High School auditorium. This is the second appearance in Miami of this talented basso, and Miamians welcomed eagerly the chance to hear again a voice remarkable for its resonance, range and flexibility. However, Mr. Ezekiel, as he has proved before, is capable of establishing a far closer contact with his listeners than was evidenced in Sunday’s performance. For instance, in last season's presentation of Haydn’s “Creation” the impressive basso repeatedly welded the rapt crowd into one body with one single interest, a breathless response to the drama irherent in voice and vehicle. Only oace last Sunday was this intimate contact approached, and that was during Ezekiel’s first encore number, “John Peel,” an old English hunting snog. As Ezekiel sang it, this was stirring, virile and unforgettable. Accompanying Wellington Ezekiel was the University of Miami Symphony orchestra, which featured Brahm’s “Symphony No. 4 iii E-Minor.';’ No fault could be found in the presentation of this great work so far as precision was concerned; even the subtle nuances of Brahms’ humor were well delivered. But, when Brahms Wellington Ezekiel’s vocal offerings included “La Calumbia” from “The Barber of Seville,” by Rossini; “Finch’ Han Dal Vino” from Mozart’s “Don Giovanni”; Sehumann’s “The Two Grenadiers” and three enthusiastically demanded encores, “John Lee,” Burleigh’s arrangement of the negro spiritual “Go Down Moses,” and closed with “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” Ezekiel was ably accompanied in his encores by Pianist Henry Gregor. The stirring overture, “Finlandia,'" by the Finnish composer, Jean Sibeliarus, was well played by the orchestra, and Dvorak’s “Car-neval Overture” was wrapped in a beautiful package. Here the sparkle, life, gaiety, and illumination that was Dvorak’s dream of a Bohemian-revelry got across in full force to the audience. All in all, Sunday’s program added up to fine music, excellently presented.—Pat Sullivan 'Junior Miss' Cast Continues Run Tonight And Tomorrow Having its opening performance last night, “Junior Miss,” the first drama presentation of the year at the University, will continue to run tonight and Saturday night in the University theater.
