Grainger Plays 3rilliantly In Focal Concert
Noted Pianist-Composer Lauds r performance of Miami Í Symphonic Band
I Monday night, March 2nd, in the ¡Miami Senior High School auditorium IJe University of Miami Symphonic Band presented an outstanding con-rrt with Percy Grainger, composer-°ianist, as soloist and guest conducid Mr. Sheaffer, under whose guid-° L the students have reached their commendable achievements, as well Bas Mr. Grainger and the band were , 1 go enthusiastically received that the Cl concert may be ranked the best that organization has given this season.
I rp^e band was in excellent form, I and the second part of the program «I gl	which was devoted to Mr. Grainger’s
:===:	compositions, gave the organization
the opportunity of displaying its versatility, flexibility, and grandeur. The dynamic force, the rhythmic power, the contrast and exhuberance which Mr. Grainger put into his conducting, met with such favor that “The Shepherd’s Hey” and “An Irish Tune from County Derry” had to be repeated. The composer further responded with a piano encore.
| After “The Children’s Hour,” which Mr. Grainger composed especially for piano and orchestra, the composer gave an appealing group of solos. He is, undoubtedly, the Will Rogers of music. He not only understands fundamental truths but can say them in a way that everyone can understand. This is what Mr. Grainger does in his music, for it is backed by a wealth of knowledge and a great desire to give that for which the public is reaching out, presented with fluency, dash and briskness. In the popular and folkish nature of the program the composer showed that he understands very well the English and American temperaments. j Mr. Sheaffer brought the Phedre Overture of Massenet to a vigorous and tremendous climax. During the early part of the program, he introduced quite a bit of contrast, especially in the encores, one selection being particularly fascinating and f dainty, a Gavotte Rococo by Meyer Helmunt, by solo oboeist Harold Hall, accompanied by harpist Marie Parmer.
Mr. Grainger’s tribute, that he considered his appearance here a delightful musical experience with a glorious band, trained under an inspiring conductor, revealed what a privilege it is to hear this organization. “This band offers the unique | experience of combining the skill of the professional with the enthusiasm j°f youth, and is the mirror of the ful that has created it—it is the musical soul of Walter Sheaffer «Peaking through the band, and you ian Pfoud to have in Miami such I symPhonic band, the most beauti-u in the entire country”—was the Eating artist’s comment.

Progress Being Made on Tenth Edition of Ibis
Additional Staff Appointments Announced by Editor of Yearbook
Plans for the tenth anniversary number of the Ibis are “progressing with great smoothness and rapidity” according to Isabel Hanson, editor-in-chief. Students and organizations jlfiave been cooperating with unusual willingness and promptness.
Mr. Roger Thomas of the University art department has been added to the staff as the assistant art editor. The board who will select the features in the popularity section consists of Mr. Lewis G. Leary, Jr., Mr. Leonard Muller, Mr. Darby Pilkington, and Mr. Richard Merrick. They will make their report next week. Other plans for the coming week include the completion of the sorority pictures, last contributions to the literary section, and final photography. The athletic groups were completed today.
This year’s Ibis will contain several distinctly new features. It is the first time that University of Miami sorority members have posed for individual photographs. More senior pictures have been taken already in proportion to the number in the class than in any former year.
Earnest requests are being made by the editors to the students for continued cooperation in meeting photographic appointments, and in submitting literary attempts, snapshots, and other information wjiich migh make for the success of the book.	______
Varsity Glovers Meet Florida Amateurs at Beach Tonight
By Joseph Y. Bloom
With an eye on the National Intercollegiate meet at^the University of Virginia, March 28 and 29, Denny Leonard, loby Tobias and Scotty McLachlan don the gloves in tonight’s feature bouts at the South Beach Area. They draw as their opponents the classiest amateurs obtainable in Florida. Bujold, Britton and Duncan, who do not expect to make the Charlottesville trip, are donating their services in an effort to attract a better gate. Sixty percent of the gross receipts goes to the University toward financing their trip to the Intercol-legiates. The National Intercollegiate winners will engage the brilliant crop of Golden Glovers and the winners of these bouts will officially represent the United States at the Olympic Games in Germany in June.
Tonight Denny Leonard faces the greatest amateur ever to invade Florida. This brilliant performer, a star of the New York Golden Glovers who is at present undefeated in twenty fights throughout the state is the formidable Dick Fleissner. The latter will have a slight pull in weight but will undoubtedly find Leonard the hardest hitter he has faced to date.
Fleissner has defeated our own Gene Schoor, welter-weight champion of Florida in two closely contested overweight battles. His most dangerous weapon, a right upper-cut, will probably be useless to him against our elusive Leonard; and unless Fleissner enters the ring a vastly improved fighter, Denny should win handily. I am inclined to believe that Fleissner may be technically kayoed if he fights and doesn’t run.
Toby Tobias, who has learned to handle himself with the skill and confidence of a champion should trounce his opponent with ease. Keep your eye on Toby and you will see the most improved welterweight in the South.
Toby’s fine head and two-fisted punching ability should take him far in the

Fingerprints Taken at Assembly Program
Department of Justice Project Sponsored by Hurricane
Approximately one hundred and fifty students and faculty members voluntarily recorded their fingerprints with R. B. Nathan, special Department of Justice agent, after assembly last Friday morning.
The University of Miami was the first school to cooperate with the government in its effort to secure for its Civil Identification Files the fingerprints of all law abiding civilians in the United States. This project was sponsored by the Hurricane.
Dr. B. F. Ashe was the first to be printed. He was followed by Louise Herbert, Judy Du Pree, Martha Myers and Roma Pape. After these four had offered their impressions it became impossible to keep track of who came next.
Mr. Nathan was assisted by James Barker, head of the Miami Police Department Identification Bureau, and Charles Golben, a Department of Justice agent.

Scotty McLachlan promises to stop Simms. He is one of the most consistent winners on the boxing team and recent form stamps him as invincible in tonight’s match.
“Roly-Poly” Jim Bujold and Bill Britton are a pair of willing mixers who have shown well in recent workouts. They are reliable and can be counted on to furnish stiff opposition to their foes.
Dave Duncan, wiry welterweight from Kansas City, is expected to show great improvement after weeks of training and learning. Duncan, a game and rugged scrapper lets them fly from bell to bell and should thrill the crowd with his slam-bang style.
It’s an All Star card at the Beach at 8:30 tonight. Prices are but $.25 for general admission and $.40 for ringside seats. Let’s all turn out and help finance our boys to the Inter-collegiates.
Questionnaire Being Prepared For 1936 Grads
Graduating Class Will Be One of Largest; Commencement Activities Planned
A questionnaire is being prepared to secure definite information about the future plans of the 1936 graduating class. Miss Edna Feiffer, who is statistics chairman for the seniors, will direct this project.
This year’s class of seventy-four members is one of the largest since the opening of the University. Eleven graduates will receive their degrees in law, three in music, and the others in schools of science and of liberal arts.
Among the activities already planned for the June graduates are: the annual alumni buffet supper to be held in the University cafeteria, the Y.W.C.A. tea for the senior girls in the Hugo patio, and the usual graduation breakfast at the Miami Biltmore.
Baccalaureate services will take place at the Coral Gables Congrega-tional Church as in former years, and the Commencement exercises will be at the Biltmore Club.

inspiration. And when said inspiration finally comes, their fingers fly over the keys and out comes a news story, a feature, or what have you.
Crouched in one corner of the '•“Ot» is the dirt digger, whose identity’ the University would give its right arm to know, as he grinds out the week’s gossip — brain drippings from his gray matter. After a few seconds of concentration and reminiscence, he lets out a wild Tarzan-like yell, and another reputation bites the
dust.
Every few minutes, out of the deep dark and sacred depths of the press room comes our illustrious Editor, Mr. Harry Feller. His kindly passive manner, as he goes from one to the other of the meek little journalists, is refreshing to the nth degree. An encouraging word here, a smile there, and all the cares are gone, and the skies shine blue once more.
In the middle of the work-filled afternoon Ray Reiner dashes around
cones. That is his self-appointed duty, and one which we all love. And back he comes, dripping ice cream, all flavors, and wildly gesticulates for each to grab his own cone, and the line forms to the right.
Audrey Rothenberg, the Women’s Editor, is one of the less noisy, confusing members of the staff. She goes about her work quietly and only occasionally says: “Will you please type this story for me?” to one of the ever willing (?) army of typists that is employed by the Hurricane staff.
And so it goes, life goes on, or whatever it is that all writers say, and out of it all comes another issue of the Hurricane, the official publication of the University of Miami.

Lambda Phi Sponsors Dance Tonight at Cafe
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a passenger on a “Lusitania,” a “Maine,” or a “Morro Castle?” Well, here’s your opportunity to get first hand information. An ill-fated Lambda Phi galley is set to sail from Cafeteria port Friday evening (tonight) at nine-thirty (three bells). Neptune, the weather man and his stooge Ellen Shumate have formed a conspiracy that promises each and every passenger a pleasant drowning. Perfect in every detail, the Lambda vessel will carry no life preservers, no life boats nor any means of escape for its passengers.
Davy Jones, the well known versatile host, has promised a regal reception and may be counted on to display the finest of deep sea hospitality. In his own inimitable fashion he will present the best of Neptunian entertainment. The Miamelodians, whose fame is known from fathom to fathom will interpret popular oceanic strains. At the stroke of one the Lambda Phi’s promise to bring you back to reality in true Jules Verne fashion.
Besides Ellen Shumate, who is general chairman for the dance, are her assistants, Louise Herbert and Doris Page in charge of decorations; and Travis Lee Harris, publicity director.
Admision is the nominal sum of forty cent per gob or mate.
On Wednesday afternoon and evening, March 11, the Ballet Russe, coming from a successful engagement in Havana, will be presented at the Olympia Theatre. The company of 125 artists is accompanied by their own symphony orchestra.
This spectacular presentation of the dance includes many ballets, among which will be given: (Matinee) “The Swan Lake,” “The Fantastic Toy Shop,” and the “Midnight Sun”; (Evening) “The Beautiful Danube,” “Aurora’s Wedding,” and “Sheherazade,” which is a dance interpretation of Rimsky - Korsakoff’s famous symphonic poem of the same name.
Princess Caracciolo, formerly with the Russian Imperial Ballet, will give a talk next Wednesday morning at 11:00 a.m., at the Whitman Hotel, Miami Beach, on the numbers to be presented by the Monte Carlo Ballet Russe. She will be assisted by Joseph Tarpley, pianist.
Return Meet Follows
Wood and Selber Take Negative For Florida; Vetter and Munroe Affirmative
For the first time in the history of the two schools, the University of Miami will meet the University of Florida in an intercollegiate debate next Monday evening, March 9, in the University auditorium.
The question will be the current Phi Beta Kappa query, “Resolved: That the Congress of the United States should have the power by a two-thirds vote to override any five to four decision of the Supreme Court declaring any law unconstitutional.”
Miami, represented by Harry V6t-ter and Samuel Munroe, will uphold the affirmative against Bradshaw Wood and Philip Selber of Florida. This timely question is being debated by college debating teams as well as the public press throughout the nation. A recent survey by the Intercollegiate Press Association revealed that the general college student opinion is to the effect that the powers of the Supreme Court should be curbed.
According to word received this week by Dr. Kenneth Close, debating coach, a group of four University of Florida debaters, accompanied by Professor H. P. Constans, coach, will arrive in Miami Sunday, for the debate scheduled for 8:30 o’clock Monday evening.
This is the first time in several years that a debate has been held in the University auditorium. Admission is free and the public is invited.
Tuesday, March 10, Miami’s negative team, composed of George Whitfield and Robert Boyer will meet Florida’s affirmative team at Palm Beach to argue the same question. On March 14 and March 16 respectively, teams from the University of Richmond and the University of South Carolina will meet Miami in Bayfront Park. One of these debates will be broadcast over WQAM.
Belaunde Tells I.R.C. of Grand Chaco War
International Relations Club Meets to Discuss Struggle
U. Players Will Offer “Captain Applejack”
“Captain Applejack” has been chosen by the University Players as their next presentation which will be given March 26 and 27.
Bill Probasco, who has shown his dramatic ability in many previous University productions, has been given the title role.
Other members of the cast chosen by Mrs. Opal Euard Motter, director, are: Miriam Lockhart, Mrs. Pengard; James Parrot, Mr. Pengard; Paul Pencke, Lush; Victor Levine, Johnny Jason; Russell Hall, Ivan Borolsky; and James Daar, Dennett. The re-, maining parts will be given out at a tryout which will be held this afternoon in the auditorium.
In addition to directing this play, Mrs. Motter is preparing two one act plays to be presented at the Olympia Theatre as part of the American Legion Follies, April 13 and 14.
The International Relations Club heard its sponsor, Mr. Rafael Belaunde, explain the recent Bolivian-Paraguayan struggle in the Chaco region, at its regular Wednesday night meeting in the Social Hall. After the lecture, the meeting was thrown open to a round-table discussion of the question.
Mr. Belaunde traced the beginnings of the Chaco conflict to the armed seizure by Paraguay of this region about fifty years ago, when that nation, seeking new land, was repulsed on all her eastern borders. He also explained that after Bolivia lost her outlet to the Pacific to Peru and Chile, she was in need of a waterway to the sea. As the headwaters of the Paraguay River lie in the Chaco, Bolivia, by controlling this swampy territory, could gain such an outlet. In 1928, hostilities between the two nations broke out, but war was not declared until 1933, by which time a total of over one hundred thousand men had been killed. Several attempts at arbitration have been made, with Bolivia in favor of such moves and Paraguay opposed. At the present, a state of armed truce exists between these two countries. However, with the overthrow of the Paraguayan president and the rise of the militaristic faction, it seems likely that fighting may begin at any time in the Chaco.
Phil Hess, vice-president of the club, who called the meeting to order in the absence of President Ruis Cortes, further discussed the question of whether or not the club should have a page in the Ibis.
