SanromaloPlay With Symphony
Jesus Maria Sanroma, Puerto Rican pianist, will play with the University Symphony orchestra Sunday afternoon and Monday evening at Miami Senior High school auditorium in the sixth and last subscription concert of the year.
Mr. Sanroma will play Paderewski's Concerto in A Minor, Op. 17. The orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Modeste Alloo, will play Chadwick’s Jubilee from the Symphonic Sketches, ProkofiefFs Classical Symphony and Ibert’s Divertissement
Born in Puerto Rico and reared in New England, Sanroma has been actively living the “Good Neighbor” policy ^11 his life. He won a traveling scholarship at the age of thirteen to the New England Conservatory of Music and when he and his father arrived in this country, they didn’t know a word of English between them. From that time, it is difficult to determine which be learned quicker—music or Americanismos.
Sanrome has made regular appearances with the University symphony during the past few years and is well known to Miami audiences.
Students may attend the Sunday afternoon concerts free of charge by presentation of their student activity books. Balcony chairs at 60c each will be available for the Monday night performance.

things in their own hands this week, and decided to talk turkey with the Coral Gables City Commission by sending them petitions for better roads signed by large numbers at the students attending the Univer-
sity.
Student senators carried the petitions to classes, lunch, and organization meetings, and came in with as many as 600 signatures in one school day.
Previous speakers have been J. Riis Owre, Dr. J. Riley Staats, Prof. Jose Balseiro, Dr. Richard Behrendt, and Dr. lone Steusse Wright.
Background Unusual
Prof. Nin-Culmell’s musical back ground is unusual. Son of Rosa Culmell, the Franco-Danish sm|er, and the Cuban-born Spanish pianist and composer Joaquin Nin, Joaquin Nin-Culmell says he was bom with a tuning fork in his mouth instead of the traditional silver spoon. A Venezuelan pianist was his god-mother, and among his earliest recollections is that of a Bach Concerto held in his home when he was three years old. He was educated partly in New York and Europe. In Spain he studied under Manuel de Falla (well known for his Ritual Fire Dance). Now on the faculty of Williams College, Prof. Nin-Culmell is recognized in the United States and abroad as a composer, a pianist, and a lecturer.
Wilgus To Lecture
The seventh lecture, which will be Tuesday, April 15, will feature Dr. A. Curtis Wilgus. His subject will be “The Economics of Hispanic America.” Dr. Wilgus will also speak Wednesday, April 16, on “The Place of Politics in Hispanic-American Life.”
A professor at George Washington university, Dr. Wilgus has been a pioneer teacher of Hispanic-American history and has made substantial contributions in that field and in Hispanic-American bibliography. Sevral of his more important books are: “A History of Hispanic Axner-

The petitions that were signed read as follows: “We, the undersigned, being regularly enrolled students at the University of Miami, do hereby petition the City Commission of Coral Gables, Fla., for immediate repair and proper maintenance of University drive from Bird road to the Main Campus of the University of Miami and Campo Santo avenue, from University drive past the University student parking area; this petition being necessitated by the deplorable, dangerous condition of paved city streets on which thousands of cars, and other vehicles are driven to and from the University by students each school day.” Petitions must be signed by Tuesday, 2:30 p.m. in time for the Senate to take necessary action on the matter. Students are urged to sign petitions so that the road situation may be eased rapidly and efficiently. It is believed that this condition effects approximately 1500 motorists who travel to school daily, and hundreds more who depend upon these car owners for their rides to and from campus.

Mystery Of Holes On Campus Solved
One of the best entertainers on the campus is Jim Malone, although he probably doesn’t realize it.
Jim doesn’t give out with the snappy gags. He doesn’t sing or dance. He doesn’t even hold a union card with the American Guild of Variety Artists. All he does is operate a ditch-digger— i-e-, that huge tractor with the ferris wheel arrangement of buckets. But the crowds he coBetts are enough to make a night chib
Jim also holds a special place in students’ hearts because at the many dames be has caused In be
dismissed early. That he cannot help.
Tractors will be tractors, and they will make noise.
There have been many speculations as to why these holes are being dug haphazardly around the campus. Some say they are for septic tanks. Others claim they will be used for foxholes when the National Guard hits the University.
Here is the straight dope: After the holes are partially filled with soil, trees will be planted.
Let us hope this sets many minds at <
Here’s a tip to Mr. Malone, though; several talent scouts have been making inquiries about him. Who knows, vm may be seeing a preview of next season’s Copacabana show.
WHAT SHOOK LOOSE this time, wonders this student who’s car lost a brave encounter with the “foxholes” in the roads leading to the University. Petitions are being circulated about the campus in an effort to awaken the city of Coral Gables to the need of action in this matter.
