The sincere personality of Jimmie Chappas plus his go-getting forcefulness are the pre-requisites of a Student Association president such as we need at our University today. Jimmie’s zealous participation in all our school activities is ample proof of his sincere interest in our campus life. His 20th st. “college club review” performance will long live in our memories. His war department citation for organization is ample proof of his go-getting forcefulness.
The “laissez faire” attitude on the part of many students is not to be taken lightly. On the recent problem of securing paved roads in the school area, only 1,500 out of 5,000 students were interested in a wrong that should have been righted. The failure to instill an interest in this important measure was due largely to the lack of organization on the part of our student leaders. A few assemblies would have enlightened the remaining 3,500 of its
importance.
What brings about an efficient student body? Of the many stimulants, well planned student activities are thè most necessary attractions that draw us together. Jimmie has that natural flair for planning, organizing and fulfilling successfully our student undertaking.
In Jimmie’s speech to the student body last Friday, he stated: “Until a strong, well organized student government is molded together and this molded power is properly directed. nothing can be accomplished. I promise you this and only this, for the present. Elect me your Student Association president and I’ll give you the strongest Student Association this school has ever seen.” Jimmie’s sincerity of purpose and ever present common sense are summed up in those words.
We’ve seen too many lists of promises. Let’s get positive action on our main problem, a strong student government.
The man to lead this is Jimmie Chappas.

The most important duty of the vice-president of our Student Association is to provide and preside over assemblies. In the past, this has been neglected for various reasons—and a correction should be applied.
Miami is overloaded with people prominent in the fields of education, cience, and entertainment We should take advantage of this asset and I would work to see that these people are brought before the student body. I also would like to see radio programs emanate from this campus—and would endeavor to see that we obtain the transient, “big-time” net work broadcasts originating from Miami.
If elected, it is my purpose to see that these assemblies shall be held— and that they shall be of interest to the student—both in an educational and entertaining manner.
I intend to aid the president in all his undertakings for the improvement of the University and the solving of the students problems. I would like to see a more unified campus. I believe the students should and could be brought closer together—this would result in better school spirit—that intangible something which we sorely lack. This could be accomplished by more pep allies and bigger and better social events for all of the students. I would like to see a more active participation on the part of the large, ’ndependent part of the student body. I would like to see our honor students given better and more suitable awards for their accomplishments. I would strive to see that all these are accomplished.
In short, I am interested in seeing this University and the students that comprise it progress. Anything that a vice-president can do to help produce a better University of Miami is my purpose in running for this office.
