National Music Week Was Observed Today At Assembly Program
Sheaffer Conducts University Symphonic Band In All Request Program
National Music Week was observed by the Music School of the University when the Symphonic band entertained in asembly this morning an all request program.
Miss Bertha Foster, Dean of the School of Music presided over the program and gave an interesting talk on music.
Walter Sheaffer, conductor of the Symphonic band, was highly pleased with the type of music requested by the students. He said, “A taste for better music is very evident in the requests of the students this year. It is most gratifying to me for it proves that our work with the band here at the University is really appreciated by the students, and when all is said and done, it is their band.”
The band also played a concert Tuesday night to a large audience in Bayfront Park in observance of National Music Week.

School Paint Fund To Receive Part of Proceeds of Annual Event
Committee Will Be Appointed To Determine Amount of Activity Fee
At assembly Monday morning students will be asked to vote on whether or not they desire to have a student activity fee added to their tuition, according to a resolution passed at last Wednesday’s senate meeting.
The resolution further provides that a committee be appointed to make a complete study of the amount to be charged, and that the control of the funds be placed in the hands of the senate.
Among the purposes for which the funds would be used is to pay for the Ibis, assist the Hurricane to increase its size, and to send the debating team on trips.
When informed of the Senate’s action, President B. F. Ashe stated, “If it is used to promote new organizations and is not permitted to dampen initiative it will be worth while. If it is used to keep organizations in which there is little or no student interest alive it would be a bad undertaking.”
In illustrating his point on student interest he cited ithe University Players who recently were accepted by Theta Alpha Phi, “At first they tried to secure funds from their initiation cost from the general fund— when we said no, they resorted to their own means to raise the money and, I am sure being a national now means more to them than if the school had paid the cost.”
Student opinion seems to indicate a general acceptance of the idea, but differs on the amount of the fee. The amount to be charged runs from two dollars and a half per term to five dollars.
University Symphonic band under the direction of Walter E. Sheaffer, will present its annual benefit concert in the auditorium of the Miami Senior High School, Thursday, May 14th, at 8:30 p.m.
A benefit “Pop” concert is played each year to provide money for worthy purposes pertaining to the band and its members. A good part of this year’s proceeds will be turned over to the paint fund.
Featured on the program will be “The William Tell Overture” and several trombone solos by Sam Head which were arranged for him by Arthur Pryor.
The concert is sponsored by the Sigma Phi Zeta Band fraternity, and in order to assure the concert’s financial success everyone entering the auditorium will be obliged to purchase a ticket, including the ushers, Mr. Sheaffer, and the band members.
Tickets are thirty-five cents, and Mr. Sheaffer made the statement that the encores he has selected are worth more than the admission price, to say nothing of a program that will be highly entertaining and enjoyable.

Student Peace Move Discussed by LR*C*
Last night Charles Kramer led the International Relations Club in a discussion of the Student Peace Movement.
After a brief outline by Kramer of the history of this movement up to the present time, the meeting was thrown open to a round table discussion of the possibilities and advantages of such a movement.
At the business meeting which preceded the discussion, a nominating committee was appointed by President Ruis Cortes. Election of club officers will be held at the next meeting.
PEARSON, CLOUSE
ATTEND MEETING
Dr. Jay F. W. Pearson and Professor J. H. Clouse left the University yesterday afternoon to attend the Florida Academy of Sciences convention Friday and Saturday at Gainesville, Florida.
Dr. Pearson is the treasurer of the association. Professor Clouse will x’ead a paper on the Crystal Structure of CaCr04.
Thirteen botany students and their instructor, Dr. Walter S. Phillips made a 550 mile field trip through the lake regions of the state ov the week end.
The party left Miami Friday noon and started up the coast to Palm Beach, then turned west to Belle Glade by Lake Okeechobee where the first night was spent. The trip over the central ridge in Florida began Saturday morning, through Childs, Sebring, Avon Park, Frostproof, and Lake Wales, at which place collections of various plants were made The last place visited Saturday was Bok Tower. The night was spent at Sebring.
The trip back to Miami began Sunday and the first stop was Moore Haven. An interesting stop during the day was made at Goodno, the center of the oldest cattle raising areas in the state. La Belle is the cowboy town visited where the botany party received newspaper publicity. From La Belle the trip was over a desolate dirt road of seventy miles which was interesting because it made possible a view of the middle sections of Florida. The last stop was at Deep Lake which is surrounded by cypress swamps. The rest of the trip was made over the Tamiami Trail and the party reached Miami at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday.
Dr. Phillips said, “I think that anybody who lives in Florida and who doesn’t see the middle part, the lake region, is missing the most beautiful part of the State.”
COUNTY MAY GIVE $25,000 ANNUALLY
Loan Would Make Completion of Original Buildings Possible Next Year
Possibility of the completion of the original University buildings was brought a step nearer reality this week by the indorsement of a petition for a $650,000 federal P.W.A. appropriation by the Dade county commission.
The county commission also agreed to consider a request that the county set aside $25,000 annually to assist in supporting operation of the University. A similar sum is now being contributed by the City of Coral Gables.
George E. Merrick, chairman of the county planning board and a member of the board of regents of the University, made the recommendation for the indorsement to the to the commission. Mr. Merrick said that the Public Works Administration project has been pending in Washington for a year and has received the “unofficial” approval of a number of federal officials.
“The loan will now be pushed very vigorously by all concerned,” Dr. Ashe said when interviewed yesterday.
Securing of the loan will enable the University to make progress toward completing the elaborate building plans which were snuffed out by the 1926 hurricane and the failure of “boom-made” promises for endowments and grants to materialize.
The new building program will provide housing for 500 sutdents and apartment accommodations for faculty members and married students.
Florida Colleges Need Police Study
Police Courses Advocated By Kavanaugh Now Given In Five Universities
THREE-ACT COMEDY NOW IN REHEARSAL
“Three-Cornered Moon,” a comedy by Gertrude Tonkonogy is in rehearsal by the dramatics fraternity, the Beta Chapter of Theta Alpha Phi. The play will be presented May 20th and 21st. Under the direction of James Parrott the rehearsals are making satisfactory progress.
“Three Cornered Moon” is the type of show that leaps from farce to comedy, satii'e to sentiment. The audience not only is made to feel that the antics and activities of this family can happen but is happening every day.
The New York “World Telegram” says: “—a grand evening’s entertainment. Yes, Three Cornered Moon is a success.”
Andrew J. Kavanaugh, Miami director of public safety speaking at a luncheon for the joint convention of the F.S.G.A. and the F.I.P.A. held at the University of Miami recently advocated the necessity of elementai'y courses in police work in Florida colleges.
Further research on this subject reveals that the University of Wichita, is inaugurating a second class in this field, “The Science of Police Work.” The course is offered by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The Wichita courses are planned to give a thorough knowledge, both general and technical, of all phases of police practice.
Similar courses are being taught at the University of Minnesota, Southern California, Ohio State, and Michigan State.
