Arend and Wasman Repulse Strong Northern Team
AUDIENCE JUDGES
The University of Miami affirmative debating team, composed of Milton Wasman and Dick Arend, won a 7-6 decision Monday night from the Western Reserve team of Norman Sugarman and Irwin Hai-man. The winners upheld the affirmative side of the debate, “Resolved that: Congress Should Be Empowered to Fix Minimum Wages and Maximum Hours for Industry.” Kenneth Ballinger, Miami Herald staff writer, acted as chairman. The audience acted as judges. Only notes that showed a shift of opinion were counted.
The Western Reserve team has compiled an enviable record in intercollegiate debating circles, both in the United States and abroad.
Wasman and Arend based their argument on the fact that there is a need for regulation of wages and hours. They proved that the problem can be solved only by national con trol in the hands of Congress.
Sugarman and Haiman contended that present conditions do not war-rent regulation. They attempted to prove that state control is the logical method to fit minimum wages and maximum hours.

^ringer Charms Audience
All musical Miami is anxiously awaiting the night of February 15, when Guiomar Novaes, colorful Brazilian pianist, is scheduled to appear with the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra at Orchestra Hall. This concert promises to be one of the most unusual ever presented here.
Miami musicians, critics, and authorities unanimously agree that as a pianist, Guiomar Novaes has no equal among the living women pianists of the world. Many hold to the belief that regardless of sex, she is still at the top. At any rate they all say, Don’t miss her!”
This enthusiastic admiration of Novaes is general throughout the entire United States. F. D. Perkins, music critic for the New York Herald Tribune, says the following of her: “The pianist’s noted technical mastery, the ingratiating quality of her instrumental tone, and the artistic proportion and clarity of detail which characterizes her playing are always in evidence.”
Novaes has always held her audiences spellbound with her dynamic personality as well as with her flawless artistry.
The program will be as follows:
Overture “Russian and Ludmilla” .. .Glinka Symphony “From the New World”. Dvorak Adagio - Allegro vivace Largo
Scherzo. Molto vivace Finale. Allegro con fuoco INTERMISSION
Piano Concerto No. 4 ....... Beethoven

With those words ringing in the ears of the audience, Conductor Grainger launched into the magnificent strains of his Irish Tune from County Derry. Again the band achieved that superb organ effect of which Mr. Grainger is so fond.
What Percy Grainger says is always interesting. It was the recitalist’s oral introductions and quaint notes on the program that added so greatly to the enjoyment of the three new numbers which he recently wrote especially for that concert.

IRC Hears Owre On Trend of War in Spain
Dr. J. Riis Owre traced the overturn of the Republican government and the steps leading to the present revolution in Spain in his talk before the International Relations Club last Thursday night
The bloodless revolution that cul minated in Alfonso XIII’s forced abdication of the Spanish throne was cited by Dr. Owre as one of the most remarkable in history. The Republican government then established, instigated reform but failed to divide property and wealth among the poorer classes.
The rise of the Facist factions was, in Dr. Owre’s opinion, timed to take place in many parts of Spain at one time. Delays and the untimely death of the young Facist leader hindered the joint uprising and thus it was that Morocco was the first to give rise to
revolt.
“Loyalists now struggling to save Madrid are displaying bravery and gallantry typical of the Spanish ople throughout history. Whatever comes of the present struggle,” Dr. Owre concluded, “we can be sure the results will be distinctly Spanish. Although at times paradoxical, the Spanish people are individual as well.”

Harkstow Grange which depicted an old miser, and Lost Lady Found, a rhythmic dance were the titles of the new works. These jolly, much embellished compositions and arrangements of Grainger’s own gave much pleasure to the listeners.

The Institute of Journalism presented Bland Bowers of the Parker Printing Co. last Tuesday. Mr. Bowers lectured informally on the history of printing. Many surprising facts were disclosed as the talk progressed.
Mr. Bowers’ individual interpretation of the art of printing—for it is an art—was as unusual as it was interesting. He becomingly compared printing with talking, paraphrasing the tongue with the type, and explained further that just as a speaker depends upon his voice to be his medium of success, so does a printer depend upon the set up of the type to be his medium.
“There are dozens upon dozens of type in existence,” asserted Mr. Bowers, “but the best in my opinion is Caslon, a family of type designed and cut by William Caslon in the early eighteenth century. Caslon is used in the editorial colum as well as for some of the headlines in the Hurricane.
The lecturer then launched into the history of printing.
The Chinese way back in the unrecorded centuries before Christ began printing upon silk. They used for their type a wooden block, or in reality several wooden blocks because of the thousands of characters forming the Chinese language.
These clever Chinese then introduced paper in 105 A.D. — paper made of exactly the same qualities as those of today; namely, tree bark, rag pulp, and hemp press. The process was simple. By spreading pulp and water over nets or screens and allowing the water to drain off one was able to produce the magic paper. To the Chinese also goes the credit for introducing the movable type. It is queer, is it not, that the country some of us today regard as being somewhat barbaric should introduce to the world an invention containing invaluable importance but which was not recognized for fourteen hundred years as being such? That is the length of time it took paper making to reach America.
At any rate, from the tangled history of printing there arose a man whose name stands today as the father of innumerable types found in modern printing. He was a Frenchman named Nicholas Jenson. Mr. Bowers amusingly pointed out the fact that Mr. Jenson was the proven exception to the printers’ code, for he died leaving a large fortune.
Hurricane Boxers, Fencers Face Tennessee, Rollins Friday Night
Foilsmen Will Meet Tars As Preliminary To Boxing Bouts
EXPECT VICTORY
Tomorrow night, as a preliminary feature of the Miami-Tennessee slug-fest in the Coral Gables Coliseum, Coach Robert Dalton’s University fencing team will meet the Rollins College Tars in their initial match of the 1937 year. This is the first time Miami has ever competed in intercollegiate fencing.
Last Tuesday evening Coach Dalton sent his fencers through a series of elimination matches to determine which men will participate in the Rollins meet. The team selected, through these eliminations, will include Bill Davidoff, Bill Probasco and Sydney Blackman. These boys have looked exceptionally good in all workouts to date and it is Dalton’s opinion *that they will stand a fine chance against the more experienced Rollins foilers.
Acting in the capacity of referee and assistant coach at the elimination matches was Alex Kohnanoff of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Mr. Kohnanoff was once the ranking man of the M.I.T. fencing team.
The entire Hurricane team is composed of Leonard Tobin, Ray Reiner, Robert Beutel, James Streeter, Buddy Cohen, Louis Fogel, Bob Adams, Blackman, Probasco, and Davidoff.
N.Y. A. Students Aid Flood Fight
Youths Join Forces With WPA Under American Red Cross
Senate Seeks To Renew Student Paint Project
Propose Neon-Lighted Signs For Main Building Entrances
The number of NYA youth drafted into service to combat the slowly descending flood waters of the Ohio and Mississippi river basins has risen to approximately 7,500, telegraphic reports received last week by Deputy Executive Director Richard R. Brown revealed.
State youth directors in the flood zone informed their Washington chief that they were cooperating to the fullest possible extent with other emergency agencies in extending relief to refugees, evacuating endangered families, and, in the northern areas, cleaning up in the wake of the most devastating flood in American history.
In most instances NYA crews have lost their identity as such by joining forces with others drawn from the WPA, Resettlement Administration, and the hordes of private citizens who have volunteered their services. Most are working under the joint command of the Red Cross and Army engineers.
While the number engaged in the immediate zone of danger was placed tentatively at 7,500, youth directors in several states estimated that a number equally great or greater in adjoining localities were given succor to the thousands of families who have been evacuated and are now living as refugees in tent colonies^ warehouses, armories and other emergency quarters.
Nat Glogowski, president of the student body, appointed several student committees to investigate the prospects of obtaining signs to designate various University buildings and to estimate tiie cost of painting the interior of tne administration building at the senate meeting held Monday noon in lioom 222.
Tne absolute necessity of marking the school to inform passers-by was stressed by Howard Bredlau who suggested a neon formation of the University seal for the rotunda wail as well as additional signs to be placed above the two mam University entrances. ¿Signs for other campus buildings were also suggested.
An approximate estimate of the cost ot painting tne entire interior of the school was iound to be about ¡t>8ü(J. A discussion ensued as to whether students would show the enthusiasm of last year for the proposed project, to which a senator replied tnat the enthusiasm of tne student body would depend upon the group backing the project.
The T.W.U.A. was presented with ip5U to enable representatives to at tend the Florida Convention in Tallahassee.
it was decided that the field used for intra-murai athletics should be cleaned of debris left from bonfires at once.
There will be another meeting next Monday noon in Room 222.

Gables Women's Club Presents Chinese Play
Opening of the new Coral Gables community and library building will be celebrated with two groups of Chinese plays on the nights of February .16 and 18. The Coral Gables Woman’s club will bring to Miami the Red Gate Shadow Players of New York, who will present the unique shadow plays which for generations have been as much a legend to the children of China as our own Mother Goose to Aemrican children.
Under the direction of Pauline Benton, the shadow play in America has been built from a personal hobby of collecting the intricately carved shadow figures, into an organized players’ group which has performed before many outstanding clubs, colleges, universities and art schools in the United States.
IBIS COPY
Julie Davitt, Ibis Editor, requests that fraternity and sorority copy which was not turned in last Friday when it was due be turned in immediately.
The copy for the origination section is desired not later than tomorrow.
Juniors, seniors, law students and fraternity and sorority members who have not had their pictures taken are urged to do so at once at the Manley Brower studios in the Douglas Entrance.
Philadelphia, Pa.— (ACP)—Here’s a new solution to that old problem of “over-emphasis of spectacular athletics.”
Lehigh University’s Pres. C. C. Williams claims it can be done by having the colleges and universities sponsor professional teams in addition to their student teams. This setup, he told alumni at a meeting here, would give revenue to the school and allow the students to be true amateurs in sports.
Pro teams such as these, he e plained, “might pay the university a percentage of receipts as a royalty for the use of the college name, and thus recompense the college athletic department for the loss of patronage at regular intercollegiate contests, which could then be maintained on an amateur basis for students and could again become sport for players.
“The dishonesties with regard to subsidization in some places seem likely to nullify any values that might be derived in idealisms and loyalties. Let the larger institutions whose present teams are largely professional in fact sponsor in addition to their stu dent teams, strictly professional teams, just as cities sponsor professional baseball teams. The Harvard pros or the Wisconsin pros, for example, not using enrolled students at all, would be a more attractive name for a professional team than such a title as the Boston Redskins.
By Bob Masterson
It happens tomorrow night! For the first time in its short but colorful history, Miami will have the opportunity to witness collegiate boxing. The University of Miami has at last broken all precedent and will meet the powerful University of Tennessee boxing team at the Coral Gables Coliseum tomorrow evening at 8:30. The teams are particularly evenly matched and some of the best amateur boxing ever to take place in Florida should be the result.
A great weight was lifted from Coach Billy Regan’s shoulders when he induced Mr. “Lulu” Chesna to put on the gloves, for this new boy really looks like he has the stuff and should very capably take care of the heavyweight division; in fact, there is a very good possibility that he will have his opponent on the floor at the end of his bout as he packs a terrific kick in each hand.
Out of the welter of flying leather at the University gym Monday and Tuesday afternoons there emerged the man who will take over the 165-pound berth. Dick Middleton is his name and he looked very good in winning his elimination bouts.
Stan Raski has been shifted to the 175-pound spot and is improving every day and looking less and less like the raw novice he was at the start of the training siege.
With Bunny Lovett at 115 pounds, Joe Church at 125 pounds, Scotty McLachland at 135 pounds, Lew Hauchotte at 145 pounds, Cosy Dolan at 155 pounds, Middleton at 165 pounds, Stan Raski at 175, and “Lulu” Chesna, unlimited, the Hurricanes should ring up another well earned victory and uphold the winning tradition set here for the past several years by three great football and boxing teams.
Check For $115 Given to Donald Grant Fund
Library Receives Proceeds of Queen of Clubs Dance
Donating the profits of its seventh annual Queen of Clubs Dance held last December 19, the Pi Chi Fraternity last week presented the University Library with a check for $115 as a memorial to Donald Grant.
The 1936 Queen of Clubs dance, which is one of the year’s outstanding social events on campus, attained its greatest success since the dance was first started in 1930.
Fifteen sororities and clubs in the Greater Miami area entered candidates who were judged at a banquet in the Miami Biltmore Dining Room, previous to the dance. The judges, who included O. O. McIntyre, Denman Fink and Carl Brisson of movie and stage fame, based their decisions on poise, personality and character as well as beauty and charm.
Last year the proceeds of the dance were used by the library for the purchase of a set of vocational guidance books. It has not yet been announced for what purpose the money will be used this year.
Slide-Rule Sage Speaks Again
Student Would Save Wisconsin 23 Tons of Coal Yearly
Madison, Wis.—(ACP)—The University of Wisconsin’s “Slide-rule Sage,” who gained national prominence by calculating that Badger coeds use enough lipstick in a year to cover a barn, is making his rule say queer things again.
Aldro Lingard has discovered that the university heating plant would use 23 tons less coal a year if students smoked in the buildings. (The fire hazard bans smoking.) Ninety-one per cent of the heat value would come from cigarettes and the remainder from pipes.
j Doing some serious “sliding,” Aldro found that Badgerites spend $241,000 for cigarettes and $9,500 for pipe tobacco a year.
“Most people,” he said, “take about 12 puffs per cigarette, and the average volume of a puff is about .2 cubic inches. In one year the student body inhales about 63,000 cubic feet of smoke. Pipe smokers take in another 120,000 cubic feet. This is the
volume of a room 60 feet square and 18 feet high.
“The energy content of all the tobacco is about 150,000,000,000,000 calories. If all that heat energy could be converted into mechanical energy 100 per cent, there would be 465 foot pounds of it, which would be enough to run escalators up the hill for about five years.
“Apparently, however, students would rather blow smoke around in people’s faces than ride up the hill in comfort all year around,” he concluded sticking the slide rule in his boot, engineer fashion.
PROM COMMITTEE APPOINTED
Robert Masterson, president of the Junior class, announced this week that a Junior Prom committee was appointed by the class last week. The committee, headed by Helene Couch, includes Jane Mercer, John Brion, Dick Arend, Andrew Pleeter, and Virginia Horsley.
