Beckham, of the Miami Juvenile Court, addressed the University student body at assembly last Friday. Judge Beckham said that he did not favor the proposed amendment because it prevented children from working even under the best condi-'tions. Neither does he favor the stand taken by those opposing the measure. A compromise suggested by Beckham would revise the proposed legislative act to permit children to work under favorable conditions for a limited number of hours. This compromise would protect minors from industrial exploitation and enab e them to aid in the support of their homes. Approximately 25 states have ratified the amendment to date Florida is one of the remaining states that has not yet taken favorable action toward the amendment. ------- Athletic Director Blames Alumni for Proselyting College Athletes (By Associated Collegiate Press) Cambridge, Mass.—The Carnegie Foundation would get a rude jolt if it were to make an investigation of college athletics today, says William J. Bingham, Harvard University’s athletic director. In his annual report to Pres. James B. Conant, Bingham explained that subsidizing is practiced more now than ever. “There is more shopping around by athletes today than ever before,” he reported, “and the pathetic part of this picture is that some college presidents either do not know or do not want to know that these practices are going on in their colleges.” Organized alumni groups rather than coaches are to blame in most cases for the subsidizing and proselyting of college athletes, he added. “We do not glorify athletes at Harvard,” the report continued, “and we are not dependent on national athletic championships for prestige. We are, however trying to sponsor athletic program which will enable every undergraduate to take part in some kind of recreational competitive activity.” ftsen Play Effectively Staged ^ Players Give Fine Performance of 'Hedda Gablet ^ Audrey Rothenburg ^Uard M d*recti°n °f Mrs. Opal •Kent a °^er’ Dramatics Depart-'1Hdertai,C-0mp^s^ecd most difficult ^ti0n *n a successful presen !ast Th"/ Ibsen’s “Hedda Gabler” on \re wrscday and Friday evenings. acti°n as a more appreciative re-adght r\-c e audience on the second Ann ^ Wie Performance. ^dda alesky handled the role of mirably* Voice, action, and ^Se> s ^°nsdstently interpreted the ri%erf a jsHc woman who was a fe°Ple. u °rce *n ^ves sdx e °frerPri bere were any criticism to Sianc against Miss Zalesky’s per-Hich f Would be of her walk NMngy as a little too jerky and the h m°st gratifying to find more and none of the wooden ¡0itray ,lstic in Bradbury Franklin’s as aliVe Hilert Lovborg.

Leary, instructor in English at the University of Miami was interviewed on the subject, “Everyday English,” on the Classroom of the Air program, Tuesday, Feb. 2. Brad Franklin, announcer for the program, interviewed Mr. Leary on common fallacies made in every-day speech. The use of superfluous adjectives, double negatives, trite expressions and lack of number agreement are, Mr. Leary states, pitfalls over which the ordinary speaker staggers. Mr. Leary, upon being interviewed before the broadcast, expressed the belief that a man talks much better and more fluently on a full stomach. The Classroom of the Air program for today will feature the University of Miami string quartet and selected members of the music department. Coach Irl Tubbs, Hurricane football mentor, is in Iowa City today where he will confer with University of Iowa officials regarding the position of head football coach at the Big Ten school. The coaching job at Iowa was vacated recently when Ossie Solem accepted a similar position at Syracuse University. Since then the Iowa athletic department has been dickering with Tubbs, Matty Bell of Southern Methodist University, and Dutch Bergerman, of Catholic U. All three were invited to Iowa city this week in order that a final decision might be made. Bell, however, renewed his contract with Southern Methodist early in the week, narrowing the field down to Tubbs and Bergerman, of which pair Tubbs is reported the most likely to be selected. In the fall of 1935, Irl Tubbs and his assistant Pat Boland came to Miami from Superior Normal College, Superior, Wisconsin. Just two years ago that was, yet during the time from that day to this Miami’s football team has pome from almost nowhere to a spot among the best of the nation’s gridiron group. During the past two seasons the Hurricanes have won 11, lost five and tied two games. In 1935 they got off to a poor start, losing three of their (Continued on Page Four) Delta Tau Showboat Will Feature John Steele In Floor Show To Appear in Fifth Concert PERCY GRAINGER Parrott’s Showboat Swingsters To Provide Music Friday Night John Steele, the only man evet-glorified by Ziegfield, will be the star attraction at the Delta Tau Show-boat, which embarks from its dock in the Cafeteria on Friday evening. Mr. Steele has just finished a successful engagement at the Miami Bilt-more Hotel and Friday will be his last appearance in Miami this year. The Showboat is given by the Delta Tau sorority every spring and this year it will be bigger and better than ever before. Nedra Brown, general chairman, will pilot the boat while Shirley Martin will see that all passengers are entertained with the utmost of southern hospitality. The floor show will be novel, talented, and entertaining. Pat Cluney will be on the watch for stowaways and will be assisted by Marion Gobie. The decorations will follow the theme of a showboat, what with cotton bales and southern mammies floating around. The Showboat Swingsters, under the supervision of James Parrott, will supply the music and all passengers should have a perfect evening. TO THE STUDENTS: We are arranging a very fine series of inter-collegiate debates for this year. Every indication points to the development of an excellent varsity debate team to represent us. We sincerely hope that the members of our student body will find the time during a busy year to attend a number of these debates. They will deal with subjects of interest to all students and will give us opportunity to build up rivalries which we may someday extend to football and other sports. Let us try to give these visiting teams audiences comparable with those that greet them in other cities. Signed, Jay F. W. Pearson Dr* Roberts Will Head “Alliance Française” Dr. John G. Roberts was elected President of the “Alliance Française” of Miami. This organization is for the purpose of bringing together people interested in French culture and institutions. Meetings are held bi-monthly at Hotel Halcyon in Miami. The meetings are followed by interesting lectures featuring prominent speakers. Memberships to the Miami Alliance are granted to those students of the University that are interested in its work. The next meeting is scheduled for February 11 at 8:15 p.m. O wre ToAddress LR.C. Tonight Spanish Instructor Will Speak On Conditions In Spain Today Dr. Riis Owre will speak before the International Relations Club tonight on the topic, “Spain Today.” The meeting will be held in the Social Hall, starting at 8 o’clock. Dr. Owre, assistant professor of Spanish, has traveled extensively in the Spanish peninsula, and has studied the customs and language of the people carefully. He will discuss conditions that have led to the present struggle in Spain. The International Relations Club is working slowly toward its goal of a collection of Latin-American coins, to be presented to the School of Business Administration. The secretary of the club, Georgia Burrell, has written to several consuls in the Latin-American countries and to the consuls in Miami, but has received very little response thus far. The Pan-American Airways has expressed its willingness to cooperate in every possible way in securing and transporting coins for the club. All who are interested in foreign affairs, especially those dealing with the situation in Spain today, are invited to attend the meeting Thursday. Fifth Concert Monday Will Feature Grainger As Soloist, Conductor Famed Pianist, Composer, Conductor, Who Made American Debut In 1915, Will Appear With Symphonic Band; To Play the Grieg Concerto Negro Choir To Give Program At Assembly Friday A Capella Chorus of Florida N. and C. L Will Make 1st Appearance Here Davitt Asks Support Of Students For Ibis Deadline For Fraternity and Sorority Pages Friday 700 New Volumes Are Added To Shelves of Law Library Seven hundred new volumes have been added to the shelves of the University Law School Library in the past few weeks. These new additions include a complete set of “Corpus Juris Secundum,” three hundred volumes of “New York Supplement,” three hundred volumes of “United States Supreme Court Reports,” the third and fourth “Words and Phrases,” and “Select Cases.” The law library now embraces 6500 volumes and with the addition of 3500 more, which it is hoped will be acquired soon, this department will receive an “A” rating. According to Julie Davitt, editor in-chief of the Ibis, work on the an nual is advancing rapidly, but to assure the success of the publication, the staff asks for the cooperation of the entire student body. Juniors, seniors, and law school students are requested to have their pictures taken by tomorrow. Appointments can be made immediately with Marie Reichard. The copy deadline for fraternity and sorority pages is 2:30 Friday and may be handed in duplicate to Davitt in Dr. Lowe’s office. Senior questionnaires which are now in the post-office for every senior must be filled out and returned to Flo Fowler as soon as possible. The soloist and guest conductor for the fifth subscription concert with the University of Miami Symphonic Band at Orchestra Hall next Monday evening will be that glorious personage, the pianist-composer-conductor, Percy Grainger. Grainger’s appearance with the band last season created a profound impression upon critics and music lovers. Especially noticeable was his unusually fine conductorial ability, which, heretofore had not been associated with the virtuoso. Percy Aldridge Grainger was born at Brighton, Melbourne, Australia, July 8, 1882. His mother, devoted to music, sat beside him for two hours daily while he studied the piano from his sixth to his tenth year. He then studied with Louis Pabst, in Melbourne, appearing publicly at the age of ten. By the time he was twelve he had earned enough from concerts to go with mother to Germany, for further musical studies. In 1901, they settled in London, Grainger touring England, Australia, South Africa, Holland, Scandinavia, and other European countries. Although Bach has always been his favorite composer, Grainger has also been a consistent champion of the moderns, being the first to play Debussy, Ravel, Cyril Scott, Delius, Al-beniz, Carpenter, Dett, and Guion in many lands. In 1905, Grainger began to collect folksongs with the phonograph, gathering many hundred melodies in this manner in England, Denmark, the South Seas, and other lands. It was in 1907 that Grieg heard (Continued on Page Four) The a capella Florida Normal Jubilee Singers will present a program of musical selections during the assembly period tomorrow morning at 10:10. The band program originally scheduled for this date will be postponed till March 6. The Negro choir, which is composed of twenty members, has sung at the Roney Plaza and the Miami Biltmore. They were presented by radio station WIOD yesterday afternoon. The group is made of students of the Florida Normal and Collegiate Institute. The Institute, located at St. Augustine, is the only school of its kind in Florida. Including high school, normal school, and college, it has a campus of one thousand acres and twelve buildings. Among these are a large swimming pool and gymnasium, a girls’ and a boys’ dormitory, an auditorium, and a dining hall. They have baseball and football teams and emphasize physical education. Student religious groups, including Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A. and B.Y.P.U., have been organized. Delta Epsilon Phi Is Made National Group Local Fraternity Absorbed By Tau Epsilon Phi Botanists On Field Trip Get Specimens Of Snakes and Algae Water Moccasins Discovered By Class While on Trip To Everglades SPRING VACATIONS we arrange- As a result of an administrative conference between the central office and the Registrar’s office it has been decided to revise our calendar at the end of this winter term as follows: Instead of the arrangement for the days March 17 to March 25 as published on page 3 of the General Announcement for 1936-37 shall follow this revised ment: Friday, March 19 through Tuesday, March 23 — Examinations through the forenoons, 8:30 to 12:30 noon. Registration for Spring term through these four afternoons 1 to 5 p.m. Spring Holiday: Wedesday, Mar. 24 to Sunday, Mar. 28, inclusive— five days, including Easter. Spring term classes begin at 8:30 a.m. Monday, March 29. Jay F. W. Pearson Delta Epsilon Phi fraternity was absorbed by Tau Epsilon Phi, national social fraternity at official services, Sunday evening at the Town Casino Club, Miami Beach. Delta Epsilon Phi was organized in October, 1936, and is the only fraternity on the campus to go national in such a short time. Beginning its career with the enthusiasm that is usually present with a new group, the fraternity was soon recognized on the campus as an active participant in all fraternity affairs. Delta Ep participated in all intra-mural sports, presented a trophy to the school for the winner of the oratorical contest and has given a number of social affairs. The charter members of the fraternity are Milton Wasman, Henry Warshavsky, Daniel Breinin, Irving Kramer, Jack Mintzer, Avery Gordon, Bernie Singer, Hy Koch, Robert Jacob, Stanley Blackman, Robert Reich, Leonard Tobin, and Arthur Willinger. Delta Epsilon Phi is the second social fraternity on the campus to go national this year. In search* of fresh water algae, eight botany students on a field trip into the Everglades wilderness Saturday morning came upon four water moccasins. All danger was removed by the agility of one student who immediately killed the reptiles with stone. The class then continued through the old rock quarries and out through Costello Hammock where they searched for rare specimens in the dried-up sink holes. The class left the University promptly at 8:30 Saturday morning, headed for North Homestead. Plans were changed as the group progressed deeper into the swamplands. The aged quarries which are even now used for baptismal services by the natives, offered ample material for investigation. Proceeding on, the small party discovered the long deserted Grasman Farms which was once a well known real estate development and which is now a mass of decaying buildings and streets of weeds. The class continued on to Costello Hammock where the thick growth of foliage permitted entrance only by tiring efforts. While exploring there, a student uncovered several fine specimens of orchids. At 3:00 p.m. the group, headed by Dr. Phillips, returned to the botany laboratory with a wealth of microscopic fresh water algae. Chasins, Symphony In Benefit Concert Pleases Hollywood Beach Hotel Audience By Joseph Title The University of Miami Symphony, Arnold Volpe conducting, will play another concert at the Hollywood Beach Hotel next Sunday evening. The soloist will be Frances Sobel, contralto. The magnificent lounge of the Hollywood Beach Hotel was the scene of the brilliantly successful concert given by the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra, Arnold Volpe conducting and Abram Chasins, pianist-composer as soloist last Tuesday evening. The program was a benefit performance given under the auspices of President Roosevelt and the American Red Cross to provide relief for sufferers in the flood areas. Seats sold from a dollar to one thousand dollars and the response of the hotel and townspeople was admirable. Nearly five hundred people filled the lobby eager to hear good music for a worthy cause. Informality was the -keynote. Wealthy patrons relaxed comfortably on the divans. The orchestra commenced the program with the melodious Overture to Oberon by Carl Maria von Weber. The acoustics of the hall were nigh unto perfection. There was neither too much resonance nor too little rev-erbration. For some reason or other, the strings were noticeably stronger. Mr. Chasins repeated the Beethoven Piano Concerto in C Minor giving as equally as good a performance as he did when he appeared at a recent subscription concert with the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra in Miami. The audience demanded Chasins’ return and in a curt style, the soloist announced his encores. Evidently, Mr. Chasins, unlike other soloists, believes that the audience should be enlightened regarding the numbers to be performed (a boon to critics). The first encore was Kreisler’s ever popular Liebeslied transcribed by Chasins. Someone in the audience (Continued on Page Four)

Just two years ago that was, yet during the time from that day to this Miami’s football team has pome from almost nowhere to a spot among the best of the nation’s gridiron group. During the past two seasons the Hurricanes have won 11, lost five and tied two games. In 1935 they got off to a poor start, losing three of their (Continued on Page Four) Delta Tau Showboat Will Feature John Steele In Floor Show To Appear in Fifth Concert PERCY GRAINGER Parrott’s Showboat Swingsters To Provide Music Friday Night John Steele, the only man evet-glorified by Ziegfield, will be the star attraction at the Delta Tau Show-boat, which embarks from its dock in the Cafeteria on Friday evening. Mr. Steele has just finished a successful engagement at the Miami Bilt-more Hotel and Friday will be his last appearance in Miami this year. The Showboat is given by the Delta Tau sorority every spring and this year it will be bigger and better than ever before. Nedra Brown, general chairman, will pilot the boat while Shirley Martin will see that all passengers are entertained with the utmost of southern hospitality. The floor show will be novel, talented, and entertaining. Pat Cluney will be on the watch for stowaways and will be assisted by Marion Gobie. The decorations will follow the theme of a showboat, what with cotton bales and southern mammies floating around. The Showboat Swingsters, under the supervision of James Parrott, will supply the music and all passengers should have a perfect evening. TO THE STUDENTS: We are arranging a very fine series of inter-collegiate debates for this year. Every indication points to the development of an excellent varsity debate team to represent us. We sincerely hope that the members of our student body will find the time during a busy year to attend a number of these debates. They will deal with subjects of interest to all students and will give us opportunity to build up rivalries which we may someday extend to football and other sports. Let us try to give these visiting teams audiences comparable with those that greet them in other cities. Signed, Jay F. W. Pearson Dr* Roberts Will Head “Alliance Française” Dr. John G. Roberts was elected President of the “Alliance Française” of Miami. This organization is for the purpose of bringing together people interested in French culture and institutions. Meetings are held bi-monthly at Hotel Halcyon in Miami. The meetings are followed by interesting lectures featuring prominent speakers. Memberships to the Miami Alliance are granted to those students of the University that are interested in its work. The next meeting is scheduled for February 11 at 8:15 p.m. O wre ToAddress LR.C. Tonight Spanish Instructor Will Speak On Conditions In Spain Today Dr. Riis Owre will speak before the International Relations Club tonight on the topic, “Spain Today.” The meeting will be held in the Social Hall, starting at 8 o’clock. Dr. Owre, assistant professor of Spanish, has traveled extensively in the Spanish peninsula, and has studied the customs and language of the people carefully. He will discuss conditions that have led to the present struggle in Spain. The International Relations Club is working slowly toward its goal of a collection of Latin-American coins, to be presented to the School of Business Administration. The secretary of the club, Georgia Burrell, has written to several consuls in the Latin-American countries and to the consuls in Miami, but has received very little response thus far. The Pan-American Airways has expressed its willingness to cooperate in every possible way in securing and transporting coins for the club. All who are interested in foreign affairs, especially those dealing with the situation in Spain today, are invited to attend the meeting Thursday.

The soloist and guest conductor for the fifth subscription concert with the University of Miami Symphonic Band at Orchestra Hall next Monday evening will be that glorious personage, the pianist-composer-conductor, Percy Grainger. Grainger’s appearance with the band last season created a profound impression upon critics and music lovers. Especially noticeable was his unusually fine conductorial ability, which, heretofore had not been associated with the virtuoso. Percy Aldridge Grainger was born at Brighton, Melbourne, Australia, July 8, 1882. His mother, devoted to music, sat beside him for two hours daily while he studied the piano from his sixth to his tenth year. He then studied with Louis Pabst, in Melbourne, appearing publicly at the age of ten. By the time he was twelve he had earned enough from concerts to go with mother to Germany, for further musical studies. In 1901, they settled in London, Grainger touring England, Australia, South Africa, Holland, Scandinavia, and other European countries. Although Bach has always been his favorite composer, Grainger has also been a consistent champion of the moderns, being the first to play Debussy, Ravel, Cyril Scott, Delius, Al-beniz, Carpenter, Dett, and Guion in many lands. In 1905, Grainger began to collect folksongs with the phonograph, gathering many hundred melodies in this manner in England, Denmark, the South Seas, and other lands. It was in 1907 that Grieg heard (Continued on Page Four) The a capella Florida Normal Jubilee Singers will present a program of musical selections during the assembly period tomorrow morning at 10:10. The band program originally scheduled for this date will be postponed till March 6. The Negro choir, which is composed of twenty members, has sung at the Roney Plaza and the Miami Biltmore. They were presented by radio station WIOD yesterday afternoon. The group is made of students of the Florida Normal and Collegiate Institute. The Institute, located at St. Augustine, is the only school of its kind in Florida. Including high school, normal school, and college, it has a campus of one thousand acres and twelve buildings. Among these are a large swimming pool and gymnasium, a girls’ and a boys’ dormitory, an auditorium, and a dining hall. They have baseball and football teams and emphasize physical education. Student religious groups, including Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A. and B.Y.P.U., have been organized.

Spring term classes begin at 8:30 a.m. Monday, March 29. Jay F. W. Pearson Delta Epsilon Phi fraternity was absorbed by Tau Epsilon Phi, national social fraternity at official services, Sunday evening at the Town Casino Club, Miami Beach. Delta Epsilon Phi was organized in October, 1936, and is the only fraternity on the campus to go national in such a short time. Beginning its career with the enthusiasm that is usually present with a new group, the fraternity was soon recognized on the campus as an active participant in all fraternity affairs. Delta Ep participated in all intra-mural sports, presented a trophy to the school for the winner of the oratorical contest and has given a number of social affairs. The charter members of the fraternity are Milton Wasman, Henry Warshavsky, Daniel Breinin, Irving Kramer, Jack Mintzer, Avery Gordon, Bernie Singer, Hy Koch, Robert Jacob, Stanley Blackman, Robert Reich, Leonard Tobin, and Arthur Willinger. Delta Epsilon Phi is the second social fraternity on the campus to go national this year. In search* of fresh water algae, eight botany students on a field trip into the Everglades wilderness Saturday morning came upon four water moccasins. All danger was removed by the agility of one student who immediately killed the reptiles with stone. The class then continued through the old rock quarries and out through Costello Hammock where they searched for rare specimens in the dried-up sink holes. The class left the University promptly at 8:30 Saturday morning, headed for North Homestead. Plans were changed as the group progressed deeper into the swamplands. The aged quarries which are even now used for baptismal services by the natives, offered ample material for investigation. Proceeding on, the small party discovered the long deserted Grasman Farms which was once a well known real estate development and which is now a mass of decaying buildings and streets of weeds. The class continued on to Costello Hammock where the thick growth of foliage permitted entrance only by tiring efforts. While exploring there, a student uncovered several fine specimens of orchids. At 3:00 p.m. the group, headed by Dr. Phillips, returned to the botany laboratory with a wealth of microscopic fresh water algae. Chasins, Symphony In Benefit Concert Pleases Hollywood Beach Hotel Audience By Joseph Title The University of Miami Symphony, Arnold Volpe conducting, will play another concert at the Hollywood Beach Hotel next Sunday evening. The soloist will be Frances Sobel, contralto. The magnificent lounge of the Hollywood Beach Hotel was the scene of the brilliantly successful concert given by the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra, Arnold Volpe conducting and Abram Chasins, pianist-composer as soloist last Tuesday evening. The program was a benefit performance given under the auspices of President Roosevelt and the American Red Cross to provide relief for sufferers in the flood areas. Seats sold from a dollar to one thousand dollars and the response of the hotel and townspeople was admirable. Nearly five hundred people filled the lobby eager to hear good music for a worthy cause. Informality was the -keynote. Wealthy patrons relaxed comfortably on the divans. The orchestra commenced the program with the melodious Overture to Oberon by Carl Maria von Weber. The acoustics of the hall were nigh unto perfection. There was neither too much resonance nor too little rev-erbration. For some reason or other, the strings were noticeably stronger. Mr. Chasins repeated the Beethoven Piano Concerto in C Minor giving as equally as good a performance as he did when he appeared at a recent subscription concert with the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra in Miami. The audience demanded Chasins’ return and in a curt style, the soloist announced his encores. Evidently, Mr. Chasins, unlike other soloists, believes that the audience should be enlightened regarding the numbers to be performed (a boon to critics). The first encore was Kreisler’s ever popular Liebeslied transcribed by Chasins. Someone in the audience (Continued on Page Four) |
