Discovers New Species of Bat
Dr. Pearson Makes Discovery While On Field Trip This Summer
Dr. Jay F. W. Pearson, professor of zoology at the University has recently returned from a very successful field trip on Long Island in the Bahamas. During the trip Dr. Pearson discovered a new species of pigmy bat.
As a result of this trip, Dr. Pearson and Dr. L. A. Hodson, who accompanied him, have presented the University with over 1,200 zoological specimens.
Dr. Pearson and Dr. Hodson, Miami eye specialist who has been interested in zoological studies for a number of years, were guests for two weeks of Commissioner and Mrs. J. F. Malone at their home at Simms, Long Island, which lies to the south and east of the Exuma chain, which extends south of New Providence, on which Nassau lies.
As a result of their efforts, the Miami scientists brought back more than 1,200 zoological specimens which will be added to the University of Miami museum collection. Included in their scientific finds were approximately 200 bats, 300 snails, 700 various insects, reptiles, frogs, spiders, crabs and other types.
One of the most important discoveries, Dr. Pearson pointed out, was the pigmy bats which may be, he added, a new species.
“There are numerous caves on the island,” he explained, “from which we collected four different species of bats. The pigmy species has a body
about the size of a thimble. The largest are no larger than the fore part of your thumb. In the dark of the caves we collected three bottles and as they were massed solidly I thought I had perhaps three dozen. When I counted them I found 112.”
The collectors traveled from Miami by way of Nassau, and thence to Simms by the mail boat Alice Mabel, which voyages from New Providence down through the Bahaman islands on biweekly trips. Using Simms as their headquarters, they made three collecting trips under the leadership of Commissioner Malone.
“At first we collected principally insects and small vertebrates, snakes, frogs and lizards in the immediate vicinity of Simms,” Dr. Pearson explained.
“Our first trip was by horseback to a place known as Freeman’s Hall. We were able to go also a short distance from the main highway by horseback, and then we had to travel afoot over a rocky path which led to the ocean.
“The country thereabouts is very rocky, with little vegetation. This type of terrain prevails, in fact, nearly all over Long Island, and there are few trees at all on account of the custom of the natives of burning over the land for farming. Moreover, actual soil is scarce, the soil laying in pockets amongst the loose rock.
“It was interesting to note, however, that in spite of the rockiness the native horses, without shoes, are

Early next week the band will be called out for 7 a.m. drill to work out formations for the football games. These drills will be under the direction of Vernon Hoff, lanky Drum Major from Minneapolis, who claims that the band will be just as fine a marching unit this year as it is a musical organization.
Between fifteen and twenty new members have already reported and several more are expected within a few days.

HURRICANE TO HAVE NATIONAL NEWS RELEASES
In accordance with a resolution passed by the F.I.P.A. at it’s seventeenth annual convention, held in Miami last April, James Daar, President of the F.I.P.A., is negotiating to secure news of national importance for the Hurricane and other member papers.
Daar stated he is negotiating with heads of the American Federation of Labor, the Democratic National Committee, the Republican National Committee and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to secure their news releases for association members.
This is the first time the Florida Intercollegiate Press Association has sponsored the use of news of national importance in collegiate publications,
M CLUB TO SPONSOR FIRST OF SEASON'S FOOTBALL DANCES
The M Club will sponsor the first of its annual football dances tomorrow night in the cafeteria immediately following the game. Regular tickets are forty cents stag or drag; tickets for freshman football players and dates are a quarter; and varsity men and dates will be admitted free. Music will be furnished by the Miamilodians. Proceeds are to go for the football book fund. All students are urged
to attend.
accustomed to gallop at full speed over the loose gravel and rocks. In Florida, horses would fall and break their legs at the first gallop if riders tried similar tactics.”
Commenting on the scenery in the region of Freeman's Hall, Dr. Pearson said one of the hill ridges had been worn down into the semblance of a man’s face.
“We saw all sorts of natural carvings in the terrain there,” he remarked. “All were natural formations, cut by wind and water.”
At Freeman’s Hall, the Miamians collected a number of marine shells of different types, as well as land shells. Snails were found growing on bushes.
“One of our most .¡unusual finds at that point, however,” Dr. Pearson continued, “were the great masses of Sargassum weed growing on rocks near the shore tide line and below low tide. It was the same type weed as is found along the Biscayne bay shoreline, but not in such masses. At Long Island the weed appeared to be growing in great masses in the warm, tropical waters after breaking away from the rocks. The land snails were growing abundantly on the bushes and in the trees, too.”
The second collecting trip, a few days later, was an excursion by automobile along the main highway that extends from the northern to the southern tips of the island. There are only six automobiles on the is-(Continued on Page 3)

Announce New Dining Service
Cafeteria to Offer Table D’Hote Dinners, Many Other Changes Made
The first issue of the University of Miami Alumni Quarterly, official publication of the alumni association, for this year appeared this week. The quarterly, which is edited by Stuart W. Patton, executive secretary of the association, carries articles by Coach Irl Tubbs, Pat Boland, Jack Bell, and William M. Frey.
Tubbs writes of the need for basketball team at the University, and the necessity for alumni acting as scouts for good football material. He mentions bright prospects this year for the Hurricanes in boxing and swimming.
“Preview of 1936 Hurricanes” is Boland’s article, and Bell writes on “See the Hurricanes in Action Again.” Frey, who is the new trainer of the football squad, has an article “Sixty Minute Men.”
Alumni personals cover the news of graduates from 1927 to 1935.
YOUNGBLOOD MADE NEW NYA DIRECTOR
Deputy Executive Director Richard E. Brown of the National Youth Administration recently announced the appointment of Joe A. Youngblood, of West Palm Beach, as State Director of the NYA in Florida to succeed R. C. Beaty who has resigned. The appointment became effective Sept. 15.
Mr. Youngblood has engaged in educational work ever since his graduation from Hendrix College in 1907. Though a native of Arkansas, he has spent practically his entire adult and professional life in Florida, where he is well known in educational circles.
He was elected superintendent of public instruction for Palm Beach County in 1924, and re-elected for additional terms in 1928 and 1932. In 1933, he organized a junior college program for young people in that county and two years later succeeded in having the State Board of Education give it formal recognition.
Extensive improvements of the campus grounds have been accomplished this summer through the efforts of the Coral Gables officials, the Town and Gown Club and students’ assistance. The striking contrast between last year’s appearance and this will merit much discussion throughout the greater Miami area.
The University itself is remodeling the east staircase at the approximate cost of three hundred dollars. It is hoped that this construction will eliminate the student traffic congestion of former years.
Much credit is due to City Manager E. M. Williams and Mr. A. Bartel, local W.P.A. foreman who secured eighteen W.P.A. workmen to level the parkway, sow grass, and transplant new foliage. The workmen were assisted by students who did the final touching up, trimming shrubbery and carefully tending the new grass.
The renovation of the patio was done by a student engaged by the Town and Gown. The final result is one of perfect decorative taste. Tropical plants, trees, and shrubs outline the inner walls, while small coral stone gardens are set in every previously barren spot.
Among the improvements made on the University building during the summer was the completion of the third floor to provide rooms for the sororities. Previously the sororities occupied rooms on the second floor of the building, with the exception of last year, when they were housed in the Hugo Apartments, adjacent to the University.
Besides the sorority rooms there is also a kitchen on the third floor, for the use of the sororities and the Y.W.C.A. It was announced today that the rooms will probably be ready for occupancy by the sororities on Saturday, September 26th.
A number of changes in the cafeteria policy have been made by Mr. U. J. Hiss, present manager. In the place of the strictly ala carte service of last year, Mr. Hiss has introduced table d’hote dinners priced at thirty-five, fifty, and sixty-five cents which provide a balanced meal at minimum prices. A plate lunch featuring a varied choice is being offered at twenty-five cents while breakfast is still strictly ala carte.
< Savings amounting to about 15 per cent, can be made by purchasing the table d’hote dinner, which is the reason no term coupons have been issued at discount prices this year.
The training table is also an innovation this fall. The football squad, numbering about sixty boys, are fed a balanced diet, amounting to 980 calories per meal, planned by the trainer, Bill Frey. A new door has been cut through into the kitchen to facilitate serving the squad.
Several changes have taken place in the kitchen, too. A large new range has been installed as well as ‘a bake shop where all the pastries, rolls, and desserts are made.
Dance nights are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, with the salon orchestra featured on Sunday. Monday and Wednesday will be novelty music and stunt nights.
The majority of the cafeteria em ployees are students with commercial
Sophs Expected to Dominate
Play in Opener Tomorrow Night at Stadium
EXPECT LARGE CROWD
With most of the veteran players missing from the line-up, Miami will meet Georgia State Teachers tomorrow night, 8 o’clock, at Miami Stadium, in the opening tilt of its suicide schedule. Coach Irl Tubbs is placing the fate of the team in the hands of last year’s Freshman squad. Only six letter men will be in tomorrow night’s fray.
The Teachers, who suffered a 40-0 defeat at the hands of Mercer last week, will be a more determined and experienced team when it faces the Tubbsmen. The Georgia players are under a severe handicap, with only one regular left from last year. Like Miami, the opponents lost much talent through graduation. Georgia is depending upon the performance of Coouey Riggs, known as the best center in Georgia and only old-timer left, and of Golden, star fullback, noted for his speedy and accurate passing.
Coach Tubbs is banking on Gos-towski, Masterson, Panker, Tony Vac-carelli, and Bujold, veterans of the past season, to come thru in the back-field. Eddie Dunn, Port Jervis, New York, triple threat Sophomore quarterback, will be expected to carry the Orange, Green and White far into enemy territory. Other promising new comers to the Varsity line-up are Zomps” Zelesnick, of Wisconsin, J. Rose, who played guard on the Freshman team last year, and has been switched to fullback, Tom Schepis, Andy Csaky, and “Cosy” Dolan, all three of whom played flashy ball in their exhibitions in ’35.

Seven New Faculty Members Are Added
Optimism and Friendly Spirit Of University Impresses Incoming Teachers
The faculty of the University of Miami, now totaling some fifty-five to sixty members, was greatly enhanced by the addition of the following new professors: Doctor E. V. Hjort in the Chemistry department; Doctor H. E. Strohecker in the Zoology department; Mr. Sidney B. Maynard in the Spanish department; Doctor Abner W. Kelley, and Mr. Mason in the English department; Mr. Otto Overholser in the Law school; and Mr. Paul Eckel in the History department.
Doctor E. V. Hjort, who is to head the Chemistry Department in the absence of Dr. W. O. Walker, is on leave from the University of Pittsburgh after sixteen years of service.
He received his B.S. at Penn College, help working in only the key posi-, Oskaloosa, Iowa, and his Ph.D. from

tions. A total of about twenty-five students are now earning their meals by working either as bus boys, dish washers, or counter men.
The University cafeteria, according to Mr. Hiss, is primarily a student dining room, and while outside trade is welcome, the chief aim is to provide the U students with good food at reasonable prices. About one thousand meals are expected to be served a day.
NEW ECONOMICS
SECTION FORMED
Due to the increased enrollment, the addition of another section in Economics 101 has been made necessary. The class will meet at 11:30 daily. Mr. John McCleland will teach the new section which is composed mainly of non-business administration students. Because of the large enrollment, registration had to be closed in American Government, Economic Resources, and Finance.
Dean Holdsworth, of the School of Business Administration, says of this increase, “It shows prevalent interest among students in both current political and economic affairs.
Increased Enrollment In
Business Administration
With the ending of fall enrollment the college of Business Administration has the high registration of between 180 and 190. The college this year will again be presided over by Dean J. T. Holdsworth whose personality immerses and holds the goodwill of his many students.
Students of Business Administration this semester show a preponderance of choice toward the subjects: Principles of Economics; Principles of Accounting; Money and Banking; Political Science; Economic Geography; and Business Law courses.
ALUMNI MEETING
University^ of Hjort hasn’t any impressions to give yet because he must become adjusted to the change from 16,000 to little over 900 students.
Doctor H. E. Strohecker, from Macon, Georgia, obtained his A. B. at Mercer University and his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago. Both he and his wife are very pleased with the locality, the faculty, in fact the entire set up. Doctor Strohecker was surprised at the advancement we have made for a small college starting out under our circumstances.
Mr. Otho Overholser from Columbus, Ohio, has an A.B. and L.L.B. from Ohio State University and a Master’s degree from Colorado State College of Education in Greeley, Colorado. He has been in Florida since 1931, except for the last two years. Last year he did additional work in our school of Law in order to practice here but he was so impressed with the future of the University and its growth that he was glad to work as a member of the faculty. These last two years away from Florida Mr. Overholser spent on his 300 acre farm near Pike's Peak. While at Ohio State he was a member of the varsity debating team
