DRIVE FOR LIBRARY BOOKS ENDS APRIL 1
Monday, March 7, marks the inauguration of the first spring practice in the history of the University of Miami.
Plans for conditioning the men and getting them acquainted with the system of play Head Coach McCann expects to use will see last year’s varsity and freshman : teams combine forces on the uni-| versity field for three or four weeks | of strenuous workouts.
The very first day will find sweating candidates all togged out in moleskins, and although practice that day will probably be confined to calisthenics, McCann intimated that within a short while there will be plenty of blocking, tackling, and football fundamentals.
Large amounts of scrimmage are
also on the program. Periodical

Florida Intercollegiate Presa Attoriation To Meet At Tallahassee
Tentative dates for the sixth annual Florida Intercollegiate Press Association convention have been
“Love in a Mist”, a romantic comedy, has a clever plot, and one difficult to act. It concerns a young girl with an incurable penchant for prevaricating, and deals with the amusing tangles into which she falls as a result of this weakness. Eleanor Miksitz plays the ingenue role, with Wade Stiles playing opposite her. Others in the cast include: Andy Shaw, June Randolph, Jo Montanus, Earle Howard, and Priscilla Sweeting.
Mrs. Rosborough announced that the drive for books will end April 1st. The organization that receives the greatest number of points for books handed in will receive the annual cup and also a certificate bearing the school seal in acknowledgment of their work. She also makes the following announcements:
Every organization competing must make a list of the titles and authors for Miss Rosborough.
Many new magazines have been ordered, for the library, including | some travel magazines.
The library is open every night from 7:30 to 10:30 and. the library committee desires to see more use made of this privilege.
The library committee wishes to thank the Pi Chi fraternity for the donation made by them to the library fund.
<peak at the convention as part of he special entertainment planned. The principal feature of the business to be taken up at this year’s convention will be the awarding of prizes to the winners in the yearbook and newspaper contests. Four consecutive copies of the college paper for the current year, and four copies issued on the same dates of the year before will serve as the basis of award, the winner to be determined by the improvement shown over the previous year. Yearbooks will be judged similarly, except that only one issue from the years 1930 and 1931 will be examined.
Miss Dorothy Hicks, Florida State College for Women, was elected president of the organization at its fifth annual convention here last year. Donald Grant, University of Miami, who did not return to school this year, is vice-president; Al de Bedts, University of Miami, is treasurer, and Charles E. Bennett, University of Florida, is secretary.
