University Forum Honor Science Club Poetry Is Universal Radio In Education
E. TIETJENS WILL LECTURE DURING WEEK
By SMITH PERKINS
Among us each winter are the
outstanding men of letters, finance *nd industry. Men and women, who are captains, in their chosen occupation, whether it be poetry, or the steel industry. All great men, who are of national prominence. The opportunity is offered for some enterprising students to organize a university forum of thinking students, in which these celebrities could be engaged to speak. Classroom work is not all of a college education. When we step out of the lecture hall our education begins. A forum in which constructive thinking is cultivated will be broadening to the student as well as a community asset.
Science is young. There is much to learn, and the students of the allied science classes are broadening their fund of classroom knowledge with that of outside speakers. Scarcely more than a month ago, an honorary science club was formed, to promote interest in science. It holds bi-monthly meetings in which are presented well known speakers in the field of science. The meetings have proven very successful and are a community benefit as well as a stepping stone in the growth of the most southern university in the United States.
Poetry. American poets of today. Robert Frost, Edwin Arlington Robinson. How well these poets Jessie Rittenhouse speaks of express the thoughts of the American people of today. Next week Eunice Tietjens will speak on “poetry of the Orient.” Compare the poetry of these two races, one the Orient the other the Ocident; one represents modern civilization, the other the oldest civilization. East is East and West is West—poetry is national, yet it is loved universally.
Radio has come into the American home as one of the most forceful instruments for education. Yesterday, all we knew about national events was what we heard at the comer drug store, or from a very inaccurate newspaper. Today, the very best authorities on taxation, foreign debts, diplomatic relations, «cience, politics and economics come into our homes to spend a half hour talking common sense. Radio in education has done much to cultivate the standard of the American people.
The university is carrying out a mission here in South Florida. Weekly it presents Dr. John C. Gifford, professor of tropical forestry in a series of talks concerning South Florida and the regions surrounding the Caribbean sea. Daily Magazines and newspapers are copying his articles and the people of Florida are coming to realize that we really live in a tropical *one. Situated at the southern tip of the United States the university is sending a specially arranged pro-tram to South America each Saturday. We should cultivate a friendly relation with the sister republics on the south, and the work of the university in its radio broadcasts is just another instance •f its filling a civic, as well as a cultural, need.
YALE WISHES DEBATE Word has been received that Yale University wishes to debate Miami between the dates of April the fourth and eighth. They x- f . VT	have offered to send a two-man
.1St Traveler t*am down and submit the following topics: “Resolved That Women in Politics Are a Fiasco,” or “Resolved That It Is Necessary for the Federal Government to Permit Clinics to Distribute Birth Control Literature.”
It is hoped that negotiations will be entered into in the near future.

Prom to Be Held In March ity, 9 P. M
There will be a meeting of the intra-mural committee next Thursday at 10:30 in the mens’ gymnasium, according to Harry Meigs, acting president of the intra-mural group. All representatives are urged to be present in order that arrangements for the various sports to be run off during the remainder of the year may be discussed.
Representatives of the various organizations who are asked to be present are as follows: Fred Ros-tren, Gamma Delta; E. Munger, Phi Alpha; Bill Casterlin Pi Delta Sigma; Frank Puglisi, Delta Sigma Kappa; A1 Kurtzon, Phi Epsilon Pi; Harry Meigs, Pi Chi; Bob Louys, Law School; Norm Inger-soll, Stray Greeks; Morrow Curry, freshmen; Frank Smith, sophomores.
Representatives from the junior and senior classes are to be appointed during the coming week.
Those interested in the drama will be especially attracted by the lectures to be given at the Winter Institute during the week beginning February 13^the last week of this session, when Walter Prichard Eaton, dramatic critic and essayist will lecture on “American Plays and Players.”
Mr. Eaton was for several years connected with the leading New York papers as dramatic critic, and is now the secretary of The National Institute of Arts and Letters.
Born in Massachusetts in 1878, he received his A. B. degree from Harvard in 1900, and quickly rose from a cub reporter on the Boston Journal to a position in the dramatic department of the New York Tribune. From here, he went as dramatic critic to the New York Sun, where he was until 1908. Until 1918, he was dramatic critic for the American Magazine. Since then, he has been doing creative work and has been engaged in lecturing.
Quoting from a letter from Mr. Eaton, we find more about his life, besides learning that he is rather a human person: “Alas, there is litle in my life to hang publicity on. Since I discontinued writing dramatic criticism regularly, I have lived in the mountains and cultivated a garden. That is not exciting for anybody but me. I once taught in the Pulitzer School of Journalism at Columbia (for five years),I have been several summers at Bread Loaf (Middlebury College) and am going back next season. I have lectured in many cities for the Theatre Guild when they first were establishing their subscription seasons outside New York. And I have frequently been one of the drama jury to award the Pulitzer prize. A thankless job, let me tell you. But mostly I climb mountains (with increasing lack of breath, alas) and dig in the ground.”
Besides being a dramatic critic, Mr. Eaton is a writer of plays, poetry, short stories and tales, familiar essays, and essays on theatrical subjects.
