. At the annual football banquet held in the cafeteria last Sunday evening, the university football squad selected Nicholas Wolcuff and Nat Glogowski as co-captains of next year’s team.
Eighteen players received letters and sweaters in honor of their noteworthy work on the team last fall. Lettermen were Denny Leonard, last season captain, Nat Glogowski and Nick Wolcuff, co-captains for next year, James Beusse, John Ott, Charles Baker, Pete Petrowski, Cecil Cook, Sal Mastro, Peter Boney, Joe Panker, Charles Shinn, Warren Rose, Jack Dicker, Henry Gostowski, Edwin Grau, Archie Graves, Robert Masterson and manager Brooke Tyler. Eleven of these boys are graduating.
John Norman, prominent business man, acted as master of ceremonies, and Joe Mitchell Chappel gave a short interesting talk to the footballers.
After the banquet, music was furnished by the cafeteria orchestra.
When questioned in regard to next year’s football season, Head Coach Irl Tubbs said: “The schedule for next year is tough enough to satisfy anybody, but I have faith in the boys who have played this year and who will play again next year. The spring training, which we expect to begin near the middle of March, will show what we have to work with.”
Assistant Coach Pat Boland said: “My expectations for next year are optimistic. However, since so many of our old players are leaving us, everything will depend upon the way the freshmen respond.”

C.” The University of Miami is the first school to undertake this noteworthy project, and the Hurricane deserves a great deal of praise for sponsoring the program and thereby assisting the government bureau of identification,” he stated.
In discussing the Civil Files he said, “There are now over sixty thousand prints, which have been volun tarily sent in, classified in the Bureau’s files.”
R. B. Nathan, Special Agent in charge of the Jacksonville office of the Bureau of Investigation, is the “G-Man” whom the chief of the federal bureau has instructed to be at the University to address the assembly.

The world-famous Westminster Chorus, under the direction of Dr. John Finley Williamson, will be presented in a concert with the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra Monday evening, February 24, at 8:30 p.m. in the Miami High school auditorium.
In the fourteen years since the organization of the chorus, the symphonic singers have made two European tours. The tour last year covered eleven countries. They were praised by leading critics in every country visited, receiving overwhelming acclaim in Russia. American critics have praised them both as musicians and as ambassadors of good will. Dr. Williamson is interested in the work of American composers and features American compositions on all his tours.
There are forty-one members of the chorus, each member an accomplished pianist or organist. Each must keep himself in perfect health. The chorus practices at least an hour every day in the year.
The program, as scheduled by the Westminster Chorus, is as follows: Wake Up, Sweet Melody and Go Down Moses (Noble Cain); Steal Away (Negro Spiritual); Listen to the Mocking Bird (Hawthorne); Old Man River (Jerome Kern) ; Slumber Song (Fisher) ; Beautiful Savior (Christiansen; Echo Song (Di Lasse); and Prelude and Love Death from “Tristan and Isolde” (Wagner).

Dr. Walter Walker to Establish Research Department for Chemical Company
SYMPHONY PRAISED BY NOTED PIANIST
By Efpie Smith Abram Chasins, piano virtuoso and composer, who .recently appeared as guest soloist with the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra in a number of delightful concerts, was very much impressed with the splendid work which the orchestra is doing under the leadership of Mr. Arnold Volpe.
Mr. Chasins said that during his last trip to Europe he had occasion to play with many of the orchestras there comparable in prestige with America’s own New York Philharmonic and Philadelphia orchestras. After rehearsal with the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra, he was pleased to place the student orchestra among the others with which he has played.
Mr. Chasins wonders why Americans are so often blindly devoted to everything in the world of art abroad to the neglect of their own artists here at home.
He went on to say, if we gave the University of Miami Orchestra a Soviet name, and advertised it was on an American tour, for the first time, we would have special trains from New York bringing people down to Miami to hear it.
“And about the only difference would be that you’d hear a much finer program played by the University Symphony than if you had heard a real Soviet importation.”
“Dr. Walter O. Walker has been granted a year’s leave of absence from the University,” announced President B. F. Ashe yesterday.
“Dr. Walker, who has been Professor of chemistry here for four years,” continued Dr. Ashe, “will establish the research department of the Ansul Chemical Works, of Merin-ette, Wisconsin. He has been consultant for this company for several years.”
During the year 1936-37, his place will be filled by Dr. E. V. Hjort, of the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Hjort has been given a year’s leave of absence from that University.
Enrollemnt in this department has increased three hundred percent under the direction of Dr. Walker and he has also secured a change in the requirements for the degree in chemistry from three to five years. Another thing that the doctor has to his credit, is the initiation of a soil survey of Dade County.
Arthur Pryor, one of the greatest band conductors will appear as guest conductor of the University Symphonic Band at the regular concert, March 23rd.
Pryor is well known to Miamians, having played the Miami park concerts for some years with his famous band. Mr. Sheaf -fer was solo clarinetist and assistant conductor of Pryor’s band at the time and it was during the Miami stay that Mr. Sheaffer decided to make Coral Gables his permanent home.
Mr. Pryor will arrive here about two weeks before the concert and will work with Mr. Sheaffer preparing the band for the concert.

Padraic	Colum Honors Hurrica With
On Reading”— A First Print Poem
U
This is the second poem that Padraic Colum, internationally known Irish poet, has submitted to the Miami Hurricane for first printing. It is with great pride that we print for the first time “On Reading,” which was written by Mr. Colum on James Joyce’s birthday, Feb. 2, in honor of this distinguished poet and author. Mr. Colum is at present a guest professor of English at the University of Miami.
ON READING
“—and to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race.”
Exile they say who do not know That in a thousand years But one is born worthy of The doom that exile bears.
And forge upon an anvil was Iron once alight,
Black, pitted, dense that tore through space A weighty meteorite.
’Tis not to bring from Sicily Songs for the Ptolemies,
But to set between one and one’s land
The centuries, not seas.
And still to hold as presences Memories of childhood’s day,
The lesson read, the voices heard, The schooling and the play.

I feel it a privilege to have been of service to such a splendid organization and to appear with Dr. Volpe before this distinguished audience.”

ARGE CROWD SEES “A NOUS LA LIBERTE”
“Crime Et Chantiment” to be Next Foreign Film Presented
To forge upon the iron found With labour and with care The conscience of a race that has To find its character.
This is to know what exile is-
-x
Yet he is not alone Who hears the ftw the flare illumined
Tell him his task is known.
Before an audience of two hundred the modern satire by Rene Clair “A Nous la Liberte” was presented Tuesday evening, February 18th, in the University auditorium. This film is to be followed by “Crime et Chantiment,” a superb study in mental deterioration, created by Dostoyeve-ski, the great novelist. The film will be shown Tuesday, February 25th, in the University auditorium.
A Nous la Liberte” was truly international, dealing with events befalling two escaped convicts, one wealthy and the other poor, both of whom are finally crushed by the overwhelming capitalism of the wealthy man. A satire on modern society, it proved to be a whimsical, enjoyable production.
Dr. Roberts, professor of French at the University stated: “For several years Rene Clair’s pictures have been splendid representative films, both in France and in America. His productions are modern and rapid in movement, reflecting their spirit in musical scores.” In regard to the added attraction of Tuesday’s presentation, Dr. Roberts remarked, “Les Mirages de Paris” was an interesting comedy, probably most valuable for the sidelights it offered of the backstage (Continued on Back Page)
