In Memoriam
In the short time that 1 had the privilege of knowing and working with Chink Whitten, I was deeply impressed with his genuine concern for the needs and wants of the students on our campus Few men, in any capacity, are able to touch so many students, his dedication to the improvement of the Student Union, and his loyalty to the University were distinctive qualities which serve well the memory of Chink Whitten.
William R. Butler
Vice President for Student Affairs
Chink Whitten was one of the few individuals who, while passing the period of youth, still retained the idealism, the devotion, and the comradeship of the student. His attitude toward life was perhaps personified by the edifice which, although only his dream, has become a reality. It is hard for us who knew him to believe that his presence will not grace our halls, our offices and our meetings.
He will remain with us, however, for as long as we believe in and defend the things he lived for.

“Chink" Whitten's last trip from the Student Union . . .
Words are extrentely clumsy things wheri MP ■lleufpLs to express poignant and deep feelings of the heart: I am in this predicament now, in making a statement about Chink.
There are a few real friendships that a person is blessed in having: one of mine is Chink's friendship. We learned of each other in 1946; he and his wife Kay “courted” in Dottie's and my home; I was best man at their wedding and Dottie was witness— only the four of us were present. Over the years this friendship, devotion . . . love have grown and deepened—and now . . . he's dead,
Chink's devotion, enthusiasm, example, honesty, integrity, love of life and living . , . his loyalties . . . his dedication , . his reason for being . . . all, were centered and pin-pointed on his wondrous family and 'his' students at the University of Miami. He has not lived in vain.
Dr. Thurston Adams Director of Student Affairs
Chink Whitten was more than a co-worker to me — for more than 20 years he has been my close personal friend and buddy. My family and I shall miss him, for his passing leaves a void In our lives. Always he was willing to help anyone at any time— seldom has one person given so much to so many.

Today, the last day of the Greek Week festivities, will host Olympic Day, in the true competitive Greek spirit, when track events will be held between fraternities. Topping the evening will be the I. F. C. Dance, where the final awards for Spirit, The Blood Drive, and overall points will be presented,
Greek Week was highlighted by a spiritous display personified by clashing attire, busy pledges and panting marathon runners. Pete Luhrs, chairman of Greek Week, has thus far described it as, “by far the most spirited and keenly competitive Greek Week in recent years and a credit to the Greek system and its image.” Luhrs further stated, “the success of the week was greatly due to the many people who helped in the mechanics of organization.”
Monday saw Greek Week inaugurated by an exchange dinner program in which representatives from each Greek organization dined with another fraternity or sorority. A marathon run and torch lighting ceremony were the first competitive events as Sigma Nu won the team event. John Camp of Kappa Sigma finished first, however.
The blood drive on both Tuesday and Wednesday was successful as 300 parti-
cipants contributed 258 pints of blood, an increase of 44 pints from last year.
Also on Tuesday were announced the
results of the I. F. C. elections. Chuck
