Miami Attorney Discusses Honor System Tuesday
Ely Katz, U. of F. Graduate, Stresses Success of System
Ely Katz, Miami attorney and alumnus of the University of Florida, discussed the honor system before the Committee for Introducing the Honor System at the University of Miami on Tuesday afternoon in Room 219. The basis of Mr. Katz’s talk was his experience with the honor system at the University of Florida. He declared that he had found it a success and a great influence for building-personal integrity.
Describes System
Mr. Katz, in describing an honor court trial, said: “The trial is very simple. The defendant is brought up before the court and the charge is read. If he pleads guilty to the charge, sentence is imposed. If he pleads not guilty, witnesses are questioned and finally the defendant himself may take the stand. The nine judges then confer. If seven decide guilty, the defendant is convicted and meted out an appropriate sentence. The constitution provides rules for punishment.
“Essential to the success of an honor system,” stated Mr. Katz, “is that the student must realize that to report an individual cheating is to the advantage of the group.”
An honor court similar to that of the University of Florida is now in existence at the University of Miami, but with a civil rathern than penal function. The committee, headed by Charles Hardee-Priest, intends to install the honor system in its entirety in the University next fall_____

There will be a meeting of the Senior Class on Friday at 10:10 in Room 218 for the purpose of discussing Commencement.

time “X” meant the written. At that tim	^ ^ of

“30”), the end of the story.
Another theory credits its origin to the old-time western dispatches which were delivered by messenger boy from the telegraph office to the newspaper office. The telegraph office closed at 3 a.m., hence, the operator scribbled at the bottom of the last sheet “3 O’clock,” which became abbreviated in turn to “3 o’c, ’	3 0,
and “30.”
Telegraph Legend
One of the most picturesque of the “30” legends is that the symbol is used today in honor of a telegraph operator, numbered 30, who stayed, at his key sending news of a disaster long after his assistants had fled and until death came to him.
To descend abruptly from the matter-of-fact to the maudlin, a few staunchly support the theory that the numerical sign originated in the Hellenic Golden Age, when 30 magistrates, called the “30 tyrants,” were appointed by Sparta over Athens at the termination of the Pelponnesian war. When the despots were overthrown a year later, the number “30 came to mean the end of tyranny and was heralded with a spirit of gladness.
Iron Arrow, men’s honorary society, tapped twelve men to climax the final assembly of the year yestei*-day morning. The program also featured the installation of the new student government officers, presentation of athletic awards, announcement of new Freshman Honor Society members.

Associate justices Ringbloom, Cheney, Sitta, San Pedro, McLachlan and Fascell were also sworn in.
Glogowski Speaks
Helene Couch, outgoing vice-president of the student body, turned the assembly over to Flo Fowler who introduced Nat Glogowski, outgoing-president. Glogowski extended his congratulations to the new officers and thanked the faculty and students for their cooperation during the past year.

Hurricane Interviewer Reports
Favorable Comments on 1937 Ibis
Question: What is your opinion of the 1937 Ibis?
Alfred Wright: “I think it’s a swell book with a much better binding than last year. I like the Tintypes especially.”
Helene Couch: “The cover is better than last year, there are more action pictures and a better intramural page. However, I don’t think the book varies enough from last year’s edition.”
Miss Merritt: “I think this is the best Ibis we’ve ever had—it’s more comprehensive and attractive. If the 1936 Ibis won first prize, the 1937 Ibis should win a double prize.”
Charles Priest: “Fine. I am especially pleased with the Pan-American atmosphere, particularly the maps and outlines.”
Bill Bennett and Carl Fien: “Wonderful. It’s a better cover and fine make-up. It’s just plain good.”
Jane Mercer: “Swell. I like the Freshman Features and the make-up. The paper is awfully hard to write on, though.”
Howard Bredlau: “This book is the best out and is a great improvement over last year. The continuity of the

Dean Rasco Returns From South American Trip On Clipper Ship
Itinerary Included Flight Over Asphalt Lake In Trinidad
Pan-American motif and the art work are excellent; however, I don’t particularly like the grade of paper.” Eddie Baumgarten: “The book’s the nuts, but the snapshots of me weren’t plain enough to be funny.” Coach Hart Morris: “It’s an excellent book. The make-up of the sport section is as good as any yearbook I’ve ever seen.”
Mary Frohberg: “I think the book is very good and should take first nrize in the FIPA conference again. We owe Julie Davitt our congratulations and a word of thanks.”
PLAY TONIGHT
“Night of January 16” will be presented by the first year dramatics class of the University Players tonight in the auditorium. Student activity books will be honored.
The verdict on the guilt or innocence of Karen Andre will be decided by a vote from the members of the audience, who will view the play as real jurors. Two short endings have been written for the play to be used according to the verdict.
Aside from hitting home runs on the faculty ball team, Dean Rasco of the Law School has been doing a bit of traveling of late. He has recently returned from a cruise through the West Indies and South America and has some interesting comments to make on the Pan American route.
Leaving the week after Easter, on one of the Clipper ships, Dean Rasco spent the first night of the journey in San Juan. As the ship flew over to land, the island of Porto Rico surrounded by clear water and white beaches made the most striking impression of the trip.
Three Weeks in Trinidad
Port of Spain Trinidad was the final destination and here Dean Rasco spent three weeks. While there he visited the courts in session and was a guest of one of the town’s leading barristers. The bareness of business offices, crude construction of office and residential buildings compared the Spanish speaking islands unfavorably with the U. S. The court system is English, and many of the white wigged barristers and one of the presiding judges were colored.
Of the 400,000 inhabitants of the island only 1700 are white and a large number are Hindu. These Hindus do not inter-marry with the colored race and worship in Buddhist temples. They follow Buddhist ceremonies in weddings and funerals, which, by the way, Dean Rasco found to be their favorite indoor sport. Girls marry very young, single at sixteen means an old maid, and the unhealthful climate makes for a high death rate.
Follow English Customs
The English customs are largely followed. The eating hours are modified, breakfast at 11 in the morning, but tea comes regularly at five in the afternoon. Whisky and soda is the favorite beverage. Dinner hour is as late as 8:30 in the evening.
A flight over the island showed large sugar cane and cocoa plantations. The asphalt lake, claimed as the seventh wonder of the world, leads to asphalt export and oil production.
The flight back included Venzuela, over the Maracaibo jungle, a stop in Cuba and back to Miami.
