6 Symphony Orchestra, Arnold Miainl „„„ducting, at the eighth sub-VolPe L concert of the season at Or-scriPtlonHall next Monday evening. chestra ^ ^ Bngiish mother and a Born father, Mme. Stueckgold was fl-S up and educated in Germany. br°Ug teen she made her concert de-At S’X Bremerhaven at which she so but m that she forgot to wait for nelV0Uno to appear on the stage. She the pia:nA to specialize in concert and t0f”work until Bruno Walter, the lied6L conductor, heard her sing a rfficuit aria and immediately ar-A for an audition which lead to ^contract with the Stadtische Opera of Berlin.
Among the roles which Mme. stueckgold has sung at the Metro-i;tan Opera have been the Marsch-? in “Rosenkavalier,” and the Wagnerian heroines Elsa, Elizabeth, L and Sieglinde. At Covent Garden she has been featured at the Italian seasons in such operas as “Aida” and “Otello.”
Said W. J. Henderson in the Sun: «Mme. Stueckgold’s voice is peculiarly fitted to the music, possessing, as it does, a singularly girlish character, coupled with a supple adaptation to shades of feeling.”
Pitts Sanborn, writing in the World-Telegram, recorded that she made a profound impression, that both vocally and dramatically, her treatment of the music was one of subtle and exquisite design.
Despite her successful career, the interests of Mme. Stueckgold are those of any normal, intelligent woman. Her reading tastes are rather old fashioned, inclining to the poet Heine, and the novelist Moerike. She enjoys the moving pictures and her favorite actress is Marlene Dietrich. But the Dietrich trousers do not appeal to Grete Stueckgold. A woman must always be a woman, she says, except when the composer decrees otherwise — as in Strauss’ “Rosen-kavalier” where, as Octavian, she makes a handsome, swaggering young man!
In music the composer closest to her heart is Schubert. Her favorite opera is Mozart’s “Marriage of Figaro” and her favorite role Aida. The most difficult roles in her repertoire, in her opinion, are Aida and Donna Anna because here “the singer must have the technique of a coloratura, a lyric and a dramatic soprano all at once.” The hardest type of song to sing, she claims, is one like “Du hist die Ruh” of Schubert because of the line and phrasing of the song, he most universally popular lieder m her experience are the songs of ichard Strauss. She likes jazz very much, too, she admits.
She offers a simple recipe for suc-Ce.jS' talent plus hard work. But she Wl confess under pressure to for-ae less scientific. She has pet uperstitions, but she refuses to lyn ge what they are. A little charm n Upon her person at all times. “You q S not ask me what it is,” begs (.ne.1e Stueckgold, “for that would sP°il my luck!”

The personal paper began to dis appear with the advent of big but mess, according to Mr. Ballinger; the modern newspaper owner is usually
writet? man Wh° hires Mortal writers to represent him. Present-
day editorial writers are constantly running up against the publisher’s sacred C0W” 0r material which is not to be touched upon in editorial writing As business grows, the edi-or s herd” usually increases, and editorials grow narrower and narrower in scope.
Syndicated features are now filling the void in editorials brought about y the decline of journalism. The finest editorial features of the day Mr. Ballinger stated, are those articles which show the news behind the news. These articles have more news content than statements of opinion.
Various syndicated writers were named and commented upon beginning with Walter Lippman, “the dean of American commentators” who, according to Mr. Ballinger, “is also long-winded, like all deans”’and who has ascended to the top flight in editorial feature writing because of his knowledge of what is going on. Heywood Broun was discussed next. In Mr. Ballinger’s opinion, “Broun has never burdened himself much
55
with thinking. He has cleverness ii
Te use of words which makes up for us lack of thinking material.” Damon iCunyon, a “reconditioned sports writer ’ was also discussed. Runyon apparently finds it hard to break away trom the jargon of the race track in
w fieuatUreS- Mr- Ballinger mentioned Westbrook Pegler, a clever commen-La oi who has succeeded because of fs cleverness, his early training in teature writing and his extensive travels. Edwin C. Hill was given as an example of the scholarly, academic commentator of events of secondary importance while Mark Sullivan was cited as having been great in the held of personal journalism before he became mired in the Hoover campaign.
Mr. Ballinger stated that in his fifteen years of editorial writing, no adequate definition of an editorial has ever been given him. However, an editorial should be one of three types, namely: first, it should be an interpretation of the news; second, pleading” editorials should never seek to do positive good but should destroy opposition; and last, editorials may be amusement features.
The editorial field has been blighted by years of mediocrity, according to Mr. Ballinger, and the editorial page tends to become duller as spicier material is weeded out. Of course there are some people who, because they will read anything, including patent medicine ads and tax lists, will also read editorials. However, a paper which puts across one or two messages a day through its editorials, may safely say that its editorial page is effective.
Concluding his lecture, Mr. Ballinger stated that he believed that the editorial page of the Hurricane has improved over last year because the editorials now are more localized and contain more student interest.

[INTERCOLLEGIATE PRESS]
Poughkeepsie, N.Y. — Vassar girls go to college to learn about life. Falling in line with the contention of students that more information on sex and marriage problems should be taught, the administration at Vassar College has inaugurated a course on Sex and Marriage.
The announcement declares that there is discontent with present freshman hygiene course and that “The evidence indicates that many of the students at Vassar are not getting the information they think they need. Presentation of more advance material in the hygiene course itself supplemented by occasional discussion groups and private consultations conducted by a competent outsider might remedy the present discontent.”
This series is open to all classes. It is not compulsory and no credit is given. It is asked that the student should not attend merely lectures (Continued on Page Four)

Instructor Believes Physics Is Necessity To Industrial Growth
Dean West Advocates Careful Consideration of Honor System
At the asembly on February' 19, Dean Henry S. West was scheduled to deliver a speech in favor of the Honor System, but he was unable to attend because of illness. THE HURRICANE has been requested by the Honor Court and Student Senate to print the text of Dean West’s speech.
AN HONOR SYSTEM FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI?
The question whether the students of The University of Miami revive their “honor system” does not seem to me to be their really vital question. That vital question is: Shall we have a real honor code, written or unwritten, and shall we all live up to that honor code? This student body could really have, and could fully live up to, an honor code—with all cheating on examinations abolished, with all stealing abolished, with all other varieties of dishonorable behavior abolished—whether or not the quasi-legal forms of an “honor system” and a functioning “honor court” were in operation.
Now let me not be misunderstood, i am by no means opposed to a regularly organized honor system in college; on the contrary, I have had some interesting and not unsatisfactory experience with the working of an honor system in two colleges. In one of them, the University of Virginia, their honor system is of long standing and of high repute. But in every “honor system” there is a fixed proviso that students are pledged not only to conduct themselves honorably but also to bear witness against, and help secure the conviction and punishment of, a fellow-student who behaves dishonorably — against the cheat in an examination, against the one who passed a bad check, against the fellow who attempted something dishonorable toward a girl student. There is the crux of the “honor system”: Are we willing and ready to bear witness against the dishonorable one in the face of our deep-set taboo
against “tattling”?
After the last honor court proceedings that I have had anything to do with, I heard student after student say. “I will not cheat myself, and I will not help a fellow-student to cheat, but I will not go before the honor court and ‘tell on’ a student I saw cheating.” Now, if that sentiment is wide-spread through the student body, what becomes of the “honor system,” and where does that leave the few students who did try to root out dishonor by bearing witness against the practice of dishonor?
Thus you see the successful operation of our honor system brings upon the student body of a college a very real responsibility, which responsibility the whole group must be willing to assume and carry through if they are to keep their “honor system” from becoming a farce. Obviously out in real life, and after college graduation, we do assume such responsibilities if we are good and courageous citizens. For example, on that point of “tattling,” what would you think of me if I saw a thief breaking into your house and did not take any step to protect you and protect the community by calling the police? In actual community life we condemn such an aversion to reporting rascality. Just such a lack of protective action on the part of indifferent or timid citizens out in the community, such unwillingness to “squeal,” such fear of unpleasant consequences from helping to convict the wicked, is exactly the rank ground where grow up all sorts of outrageous exploitation and racketeering.
If the student leaders in this University feel that a definite and workable honor system ought to be in operation here, they are doing exactly (Continued on Page Four)

Alliance Française Will Hear Roberts Friday Night
Dr. John R. Roberts, instructor in French and president of the Conference de Monsieur de Saint-Feilix, will speak tomorrow night before the Alliance Française at 8:15 p.m. in the University auditorium. Admission will be thirty-five cents.
The value of modern languages to an individual was the subject of Dr. Roberts’ lecture to the French Club of Miami High School last Monday afternoon.
Joseph Barclay, ’37, entertained the group by singing a number of French and English songs.
I.R.C. Will Meet Tonight
A round table discussion of “Socialistic Trends Today” will feature the meeting of the International Relations Club to be held tonight at 8 o’clock in the Social Hall of the University.
Dr. Victor Andres Belaunde, founder of the group and feature speaker of the Latin-American forum, has promised to address the club upon his return from Washington, D.C.
The coin collection started by the members is slowly increasing. Three more South American countries have promised to add their native coins to the collection.
The International Relations Club picture for the Ibis will be taken Friday at 12:30 in the patio.
That “we are at the threshold of a period of expansion in industry of which physics is an inevitable part” is the opinion of J. H. Clouse, instructor in physics, who was interviewed on the Classroom of the Air program Tuesday by Jane Wood, ’37.
Responding to the question as to which was the more popular field of science, chemistry or physics, the speaker admitted that the former, although the younger science, was, comparatively more comprehensive because of the consistent endeavors of the American Chemical Society, the fact that chemistry is a physical study whereas physics is technical, and the applications of physics which are divided into the various fields comprising engineering.
Mr. Clouse believes that the current opinion that physics is a difficult subject to comprehend is accounted for by the fact that channels of publication give vent to the unusual and complicated aspects of physics. At the present time, the various levels in the field of physics are being studied favorably and textbooks on the subject are well organized.
The speaker emphatically refuted that physics is a purely theoretical study and consequently a waste of money, by denoting its contributions in the study of cancer and by pointing out that navigators and engineers owe much to astronomers and their studies in physics. He urged the high schools and institutions of higher learning to lend their efforts to teaching science as a cultural subject to aid in the understanding of social and economic problems.
“Machines and mass production are compatible with democracy,” contended Mr. Clouse, “however a new social point of view is needed whereby, as President Roosevelt recommended, accommodating mechanics be designed to absorb the schools of science.”
Dates for the tenth Florida State Music Festival, annual event held in the University of Tampa, were announced this week by the Festival’s executive committee. April 22, 23, and 24 were the days named for the spirited competition among youthful musicians representing more than 50 high schools of Florida.
Inquiries concerning entries and events indicate that the Festival this year will be host to the largest group of musicians in its brief history. Held for the first time ten years ago in the Hillsborough High School building here, the festival that year attracted less than 200 participants. For the past two years more than 1,800 high school musicians and singers have competed for coveted awards and trophies presented to winners in the many events.
In addition to the awards and trophies the committee announced that winners in several events this year would be awarded music scholarships offered by Stetson University, -the Peabody Conservatory of Music and the University of Tampa. Highlights of the three day festival will be a parade through the downtown sections of Tampa in which bands from high schools throughout the State will participate.
Judging will be done by a group of nationally prominent persons selected through the aid of the Music Educators National Conference, and a few selected band and orchestra associa tions.

President Glogowski Forms Committee To Contact Organizations
A drive to increase assembly attendance was the topic for discussion at Tuesday’s meeting of the Student Senate. James Abras suggested that the aid of fraternities and sororities be solicited.
Nat Glogowski, president of the student body, acted on the suggestion and appointed a committee of two, Carl Fien and himself, to contact the presidents of the various organizations who in turn will speak to their respective groups in an endeavor to make the drive successful. It was decided that the University Band will be a feature of all future assemblies. —
The freshman football team submitted a request that the Senate support them in their attempt to secure the right to wear class numerals.
Debaters Meet South Carolina OnFriday Night
Crack Affirmative Team Of Wasman and Arend To Defend Record
ROLLINS MET MONDAY
Those ace debaters, Milton Wasman and Dick Arend,'go into action against a strong University of South Carolina team Friday night in the auditorium.
Miami will uphold the affirmative of the resolution that: “Congress should be Empowered to Fix Minimum Wages and Maximum Hours for Industry.” South Carolina’s team of Bill Nicholson and Louis Searson will take the negative.
The South Carolina team has had much experience, having engaged such colleges as Duke, Villanova, N.Y.U., Johns Hopkins and Louisiana State already this season.
Wasman and Arend, although inexperienced, defeated Western Reserve University, a polished team of national renown a few weeks ago. In that debate Miami’s team presented an excellent case. If Wasman and Arend do as well against South Carolina, there will be plenty of fireworks before it is over.
The debate will begin at eight o’clock. A large crowd is expected so that a comprehensive and fair vote can be ballotted.
Rollins - Miami
The University of Miami negative debate team composed of Dave Hendrick and Jerome Weinkle met the Rollins affirmative team of Howard Lymon and Chris Argyris in a nondecision debate on Monday night in the auditorium.
Dr. Harold E. Briggs, instructor in history, was chairman. No vote was taken, since an audience of at least thirty is required for this.
The question for debate was: “Resolved that Congress should be empowered to fix minimum wages and maximum hours for industry.”
A concensus of opinion indicated that Miami won the debate. Dr. Briggs declared, “Miami no doubt won by a good margin. The Rollins team did not build up a sufficiently strong case. What points the affirmative team did make were refuted by the negative team. Dave Hendrick stood out. Jerome Weinkle showed evidences of fine possibilities.”
Coach O. V. Overholser expressed satisfaction with his undefeated debating teams. Their fine showing so far seems to point to a successful northern trip next month.
“MIAMI MIMIC” WILL APPEAR ON MONDAY
During the past week the office of the Miami Mimic has been busy with letters and requests from various colleges, universities and libraries, asking for subscriptions and exchanges for the magazine. The publicity which this publication has been receiving from the leading newspapers, even before its appearance, readily fulfills one of the desires of its publishers who are in hopes that the Mimic will bring good publicity to the University.
Mr. Walter Scott Mason, faculty advisor for the magazine, announced Tuesday that Miami Mimic will make its first appearance on Monday, March 8.

Intrepid Scientists Brave Alligators to Capture Elusive Algae Specimens
If you should ask Walter Buswell or any one of the eight members of Dr. Walter Phillips’ biology class that went on that two hundred mile trek into the wilds of Florida’s everglades last Saturday, just what kind of a time he had, he would answer . . . “SWELL!”
Leaving at 8 :00 a.m. in the station wagon, the explorers — armed with nets, boots, fish lines and snake-hooks —drove across the Tamiami Trail to Turner’s River. Discarding the wheeled vehicle for the more manly art of wading, the group started into Cyprus Swamp. Looking for those elusive microscopic organisms known as Algae, the first thing they scared up was a fine healthy deer! As this organism was a little too developed to put under a microscope, Dr. Phillips suggested that they concentrate more on the business at hand . . . namely, Algae hunting; and anyway, as a slithery water-moccasin had just crawled from between his legs, he added that the river bank might be a more likely place to find some. He
was right, for here they found their first fine healthy Algae.
They then reembarked in the said station wagon, and drove to Everglades city; then north to Deep Lake. This place was famous for its bugs and alligators. A nice place for a lunch, suggested one of the intrepid scientists, and so on a dock covered with rare orchids over a swamp teeming with not-so-rare alligators, the biologists ate.
Having finished dinner, some fished. Some hunted for bugs, and some did some more Algae hunting.
Coming home a back trail through what seemed like a lost world, our adventurers saw wild coon (p.s.—the animal) tracks, wild boar tracks (these look something like Miami Beach Dog tracks) and more wild Algae tracks.
Arriving at the University at six o’clock Saturday night, John Galbraith (one of the tired, hungry but successful trekkers) was quoted as saying. “It was a great trip mom, I’m sure glad I went.”
