FEUERMANN IS SOLOIST AT FINAL CONCERT OF SYMPHONY SEASON
Emanuel Feuermann, world-renowned cellist, will be guest artist on the last subscription concert of the season by the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra, John Bitter conducting. The concert will take place Monday evening at the Miami Senior High School auditorium. Sydney W. Head, of the English department, will appear on
the program as the narrator in Proko-fieff’s musical story, “Peter and the Wolf.”
Feuermann is considered by some critics as one of greatest cellists of all time. The Austrian-born virtuoso made his debut with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra at the age of eleven. At sixteen, he was called to a professorship at the Conservatory of Music in Cologne. He then received the position of head of the cello department at the famous Berlin Hochschule für Music—a post he held —News Cut until he became a political exile. He has been con-certi/.ing in the United States for the past six years and is now an American citizen. On Monday’s program, he will play the Dvorak Cello concerto, accompanied by Bitter and the orchestra.
The orchestra’s portion of the program will consist of the Dream Pantomime from Humperdink’s “Hansel and Gretl” and Serge Prokofieff’s delightful novelty, “Peter and the Wolf.” The latter is a children’s story told by a narrator and acted out by the instruments of the orchestra. This work is rapidly becoming one of the most popular selections in the symphonic repertoir.
Mrs. Marie Volpe, business manager of the orchestra, has announced that in spite of the recent action of the Student Senate, student activity books will be honored at the gate.

Is Bob Hart Still Campus Spook? Only Tomorrow's Vote Can Tell
Tomorrow night in the University cafeteria the lights will go dim, strains of ghoulish music will fill the air, and out of a musty, dank, earth-covered coffin will come a spook. Will it be Bob Hart? Will it be Duke Boyle? Will it be Danny Cohan? Will it be Barry or Goldman or Rinehart? Until the stroke of midnight, the identity of the
Campus Spook will remain a mystery, unless you care to look on the board where the votes are posted.
The occasion for this graveyard gaiety will be Lambda Chi Alpha’s annual Spook Dance which will be held in the cafeteria from 9:30 to 12:30 tomorrow night. Phi Mu Alpha’s Sinfonians will play the ghoulish music plus a few normal members, and the costs will be fifty-five cents, stag or drag.
Today and tomorrow, voting at the modest sum of one cent per vote will take place outside the cafeteria. Anyone is entitled to vote, putting up their own candidates. There are no special qualifications for the Spook — define the term in your own quaint way.
Student Senate Repayed $200
At Tuesday’s Student Senate meeting over $200 was paid into the Senate coffers and no money was given out.
Following the report of Junior Prom income and expenses, Frazier Payton announced that the Junior Class was returning to the Senate $200 of the loan made the class. Although the symphony orchestra petitioned the Senate for $300, a motion made to grant the money was defeated.
A total of $306 was appropriated during the Senate meeting of March 25, $110 to the freshmen for Freshmen Frolic expenses and $196 to the golf team. Returned from money appropriated for expenses of the F.S.G.A. and F.S. P.A. convention was $80.

Joseph Gilbert (“Bab”) J^aben*
From the first opening day of the University superintendent of buildings until his retirement two years ago. Joseph Gilbert Havens, known as "Daddy” Havens to the entire school, died in his sleep
of a heart attack Sunday.
"Daddy” Havens. retired when the U.n iversity acquired its ad-mi n i st r a t ion building a 1 -though he still had great plans for the University. He wanted to see the University reoccupy its old site and the main building be used for laboratories. But he often gave as his motto "Work with what you have; not with what you don’t have.”
His greatest pride was that he had so many friends among the former students. He used to say, “I can’t always remember their names, but if they’ve been students at the University, I remember their faces.” It was difficult to find out what his whole name had been. The University remembers him as “Daddy” Havens.
