Josef Lhevinne, world famous pianist, thrilled a large audience last Monday night when he appeared as soloist with University Symphony orchestra. In the playing of the Tschai-kowsky B flat minor concerto the artist exhibited a tone of perfect beauty, exquisite phrasing, and a mastery of keyboard technique that is rarely heard.
The orchestra’s share of the program was admirably handled in the playing of the accompaniment to the concerto, the Brahms first symphony in C minor, and the overture to “Euryanthe” by Weber. This program was the orchestra’s most difficult undertaking so far this season, and Dr. Volpe and the orchestra are worthy of the highest praise for an outstanding performance.
Mr. Lhevinne was greeted with spontaneous applause by an audience that rose to its feet in appreciation of the artist’s virtuosity. After the concerto the artists returned again and again, playing a number of encores that found the applause growing with each encore. Mr. Lhevinne was highly pleased with the work of Dr. Volpe is doing with the student Symphony orchestra. He said, The sureness, tone quality, and rhythm of these youthful musicians is amazing. I believe it is the finest student orchestra I have ever heard.”

The play, “Captain Applejack,” directed by Opal Euard Motter will be presented March 31 and April 1, University Day, in the University auditorium.
This has the promise of being one of the best plays of the season, being a different type from those usually presented at the University.
Ambrose Applejack, played by Bill Probasco, is a rather timorous young man who develops very surprising ideas about chivalry and adventure. He is told by Johnny Jason, played by Vic Levine, that he needs romance and adventure in his life. Ambrose’s Aunt Agatha, played by Martha Myers, and his ward, Poppy Faire, played by Roxy Lewis, realizes that something is wrong with Ambrose, so Poppy succeeds in getting him to tell her his ideas of adventure.
Anna Valeska, a Russian dancer, played by Jacqueline Paulk, meets Ambrose and tells him a stirring tale of distress.
The story continues, telling Ambrose’s troubles over the parchment, the hidden treasure, his dream of being a pirate, and ends in a rather dramatic scene.
Other characters in the play are: Lush, Paul Pencke; Mrs. Pengard, Miriam Lockhart; Horace Pengard, James Parrott; Palmer, Sylvia Lip-ton; Dennett, James Daar; Ivan Bor-olshy, Russell Hall.
College Dean Flays Student’s Unconcern
Says Student of Today Is Not Capable of Radicalism
Enrollment for Spring Term Shows Increase
$5, Late Fee Charged
New Courses, Seminars Added In Education, Science, English and Language Division
Enrollment this term for University classes should compare very favorably with that of the spring term last year, according to the estimates of the registrar’s. A majority of the winter term students have registered again. A number of transfer students and quite a few new freshmen have matriculated.
Registration for regular students closes this afternoon. A late fee of $5 will be charged. New students may register until Tuesday afternoon.
Several new courses have been added, among which are seminar courses in English, Spanish, and French. These courses consist of advanced reading after appointments with the professor.
The School of Education again offers Education 101, 4% credits. The class is open to Liberal Arts students. Dr. Henry S. West, dean of the School of Liberal Arts, has this to say about it, “Every student should at some time during his college career take this course as it presents a comprehensive survey of American education, its aims, and relation to education abroad.” “Penmanship,” he continued, “is a subject required of all primary school teachers, will be given. Students getting junior or senior high school certificates are advised not to take this class.
Conservation of Natural Resources, 4% credits, taught jointly by the Liberal Arts and Science faculties, and required of all Florida teachers this year, is among the new courses. For adventurous science majors Marine Zoology is an annual spring presentation.
T own and Gown Club Hears Mr* Belaunde
Miss Slauter, Vetter, and Chorus Also On Program
(Associated Collegiate Press)
Frequent charges of campus radicalism made throughout the country are strikingly belied by the average college student’s utter unconcern about social and economic matters, according to Dean William F. Zimmerman of Midland College, Fremont, Nebraska.
“Students of today are incapable of entertaining radical ideas because of their utter disinterest in the problems which Communists and Socialists do all the shouting about,” Dean Zimmerman told a group of educators here recently, adding that it was his opinion college students cannot even understand these problems.
Dean Zimmerman gathered data on “spontaneous student conversations from many campuses, derived not by questionnaire, but by listening in when young persons were unaware of being studied.”
The college girl’s first interest, as inferred from the frequency with which she chats about it, is in the lings of her college friends while the male student gives first p ace to his studies. Public affairs attracted \v Seven-tenths of one per cent of °n y	nf men and two-tenths of
lhnr;”r cent oT the girls' -marks, “ceording to conclusions drawn by Dean Zimmerman’s survey.
The Town and Gown Club of the University of Miami held its monthly meeting last Thursday, March 12, in the auditorium. The program, arranged by Mrs. Rosborough, was well received.
The featured speaker was Mr. Rafael Belaunde, Jr. who spoke on “Current Events in America.” The remainder of the program consisted of three violin numbers by Miss Freda Slauter, accompanied by Evelyn P. Jones. Harry Vetter spoke on “Student Affairs,” and the University Chorus sang four numbers under the direction of Edward Clarke.
A nominating committee consisting of Mrs. Rosborough, Mrs. O. A. Sand-quist, and Mrs. William North was appointed. Election of officers will take place in the next meeting.
Mrs. Frank Weiland presided. A social followed the meeting and Mrs. A. W. Koch was in charge of refreshments.

I.R.C. Discusses Far East Fight At Last Meeting
Rhineland Situation Will Be Topic at First Session of Spring Term
Highlights of the Far East struggle were explained and discussed at the final meeting this term of the International Relations Club, Wednesday night, March 11th, in the Social Hall.
Charles Priest and Porftirio Perez, the speakers, presented much interesting information about relations between Japan, China, and Russia. In the discussions afterwards, Charles Kramer contributed many essential facts, especially about the Communists in China. Over-population and desire for power weer cited as reasons for Japan’s interference in Manchuria. It was brought out in the discussion that the main struggle is evidently between Japan and Russia, not China.
Because of examinations, there was no meeting this week. The subject of discussion next Wednesday, March 25, will be the Rhineland situation.
The club is sorry to announce that Secretary Edna Feiffer, who is graduating this term, will leave for New Britain, Connecticut, next week.

Dr* Pearson Predicts Successful Course
Marine Zoology Class to Make First Trip Next Week
Dr. Jay F. W. Pearson, Professor of Zoology, made the following statement this week: “Early indications point to the most successful course that we have yet offered in marine zoology and I am hopeful that the contributions of the present group of students will prove of real scientific value.”
The course in marine zoology this spring term will make its first diving trip Saturday, March 28th, if weather permits.
The present plans call for a trip to the vicinity of Soldier’s Key, where students will receive initial training in diving routine and will make their first studies under water. The students taking their first work in marine zoology will have the benefit of the experience of older students who have already taken the regular course and are now continuing problem work in zoology, who will accompany the regular class.

The Classroom of the Air program which is sponsored by the University of Miami, over station WIOD, is now in its fifth year, and is steadily grow-in popularity.
This radio movement is of the greatest value to the University, as it gives the radio audience a picture of the University’s work and attainment.
Five years ago the programs were broadcast from a room in the University building, padded especially for sound effects. The original pro-
grams, given five times a week, were the part of the public in the strike fifteen minute talks by members of activities.	the University faculty.
Two veterans of the broadcasts are Dr. John Gifford, science lecturer, and Evelyn Plagman Jones, piano soloist.
Gilbert Bromaghin was the first student announcer, and later on his place was taken by Stuart Patton. Bradbury Franklin is the present announcer.
The series this year has included half-hour dramatics programs, half-hour music recitals, and weekly talks by Dr. Gifford.
Many University students have taken part in the programs, and several graduates are now engaged in professional radio work.
