Up to his old tricks, the Punch says that one afteriyoon “our squadron marched ever to the girl's dormitories and serenaded them a la Miami Beach style by singing them our marching songs. Of course, I don't doubt that this will strengthen the relationships between cadet and co-cd,” he continues.

"Buzz" Gets Scoop On Morgan Death; U. P. Beams On Lucky Cub Reporter
Today, jyst mention the name, “Buzz” Barber, in nation-wide newspaper circles will bring pleased grins to the faces of United Press officials and scowls to those of competing press associations. “Buzz,” U .of M. sophomore, enabled United Press to scoop the nation on the death of J. P. Morgan, one of the foremost financiers of the world, last week.	,
As a cub reporter of the Miami branch of U.P., “Buzz” was sent to the Fla. West Coast to cover the serious illness of J. P. Morgan, financier. Associated Press, International News Service, and all important associations had reporters covering the story. Morgan got better soon? though, so the “big-time” reporters thought they’d go home. “Buzz” thought he’d stick around. He was the only reporter who stayed.
Then things started popping!
“Buzz” wrote to the university and got permission to stay ont a little longer. After three days of waiting, it happened—and just the way it doea in movies, too.
Morgan died at 3:10 a.m. just before the papers lock up. “Buzz’ made a phone call, the papers locked, the presses rolled, and United Press got the scoop.
Wires, phone calls, letters poured into the Miami U.P. office asking, “Who’s the smart reporter who got the scoop?” A.P. and I.N.S. were proably muttering “Where were our smart reporters?”
Since the story broke, “Buzz” has received congratulatory wires and calls from “big” newspaper men in all parts of the country. His was the lucky break that “cubs” dream of.
