Spring vacation will officially begin on Tuesday, March 23, at 12:30 p.m. and will continue until Monday, March 29, at 8:30 a.m.
This is the first time in the history of the University that more than a two day spring vacation has been given. It is also the first time that the system of holding exams in the morning and registration in the afternoon over a four-day period has been attempted.
which to carry on interviews.
The setting of the first interview was an imaginary cotton mill executive s office that was suffering a “sit-down” strike, with Bell acting as the executive and Voltz the reporter. A umorous skit of an exasperating, jaunty, ill-prepared reporter who tried unsuccessfully to extract facts from the disgusted executive was piesented, followed by a correct in-

Room 280 has been set aside as the location for these tests, Dr. Jay F. W.
Pearson, secretary of the University, announced yesterday.
“The University is grateful to the Tuberculosis Association for their kindness in making this test available to our students and faculty,” Dr.
Pearson said, “and everyone is urged to take advantage of them during the registration period.”
Dr. Pearson suggested that stu dents call at Room 280 either immediately before entering the auditorium for registration or immediately after having completed registration on Friday, Monday, or Tuesday afternoons.

Bell, in the third interview, assumed the pompous air of an executive who, in journalistic vernacular, “ mciiiuei ox was a “publicity hound” while Voltz spor s staff, who demonstrated played the part of a misunderstood coirec and incorrect ways in reporter. Bell gave fact upon fact
about himself, his business, even producing a picture of his little daughter. The reporter then adjorned to the city editor’s desk with a simple statement concerning the length of the interviewee’s story and a brief statement of the condition of business.
Bell concluded the lecture with more advice, telling that a successful interview depended upon the reporter’s knowledge of his subject and the necessity of a preparation of intelligent questions. He also pointed out that the building of an intellectual background was essential to future journalists.
“There is nothing as disconcerting as an ignorant reporter. Get all the history, English, philosophy, psychology and solid education possible.” Bell also brought forth the com forting fact that the study of journalism was not necessary. “Six months on a good newspaper is equivalent to four years’ study of journalism in college,” he stated.
plenty of sage advice issued forth from “reporter” Bell’s lips when he advised “Coach” Voltz to release the poor football boys from the rigid bonds of greyhounds and classes and

Because Italy has recognized the need of the “right education for the right individual” to preserve a sound social order, says the report, she has reorganized her entire educational system.

More Drinking, Fewer Drunks In American Colleges Since Repeal
There is more drinking of alcoholic beverages and students are drinking more hard liquor than light liquor in most American colleges and universities according to a survey just completed by The Literary Digest, which findings were published in a recent issue.
Questionaires were sent to the heads of 1,475 colleges and also to ,475 student editors and leaders, the magazine states, asking an appraisal their campus drinking situation since Repeal.
Replies are reported from 645 presidents, deans and student leaders who represented 581 American colleges “of every type of sectarian and non-sectarian school in the country.” More drinking since Repeal is reported by 303 of those responding and 60 other state there is less drinking in their colleges. Reports from 205 state the students are drinking more hard liquor and from 100 that they are drinking more light liquors.
The Literary Digest epitomizes the findings from its nine-part question aire survey of American colleges:

Molnar’s Liliom Will Be Staged On April 1 and 2
Tragic Play Shows Promise of Being Dramatics Hit \
of Year
CAST COMPLETE
City Fathers Give High Schools Use of Stadium For Thanksgiving Day
“Liliom,” a tragedy by Ferenc Mol-nar, well known Austrian playwright, promises to be the hit of the academic year, according to Mrs. Opal Euard Motter, head of the dramatics department. The play will be presented in the auditorium on the nights of April 1 and 2.
The tragedy concerns a brutal, thieving carnival man who lives midway between the earth and heaven and hell. After a sordid life, he is sentenced at the Court of Heaven to sixteen years in Hell. At the end of that time he is to return to the earth. If then he does one good deed, he may take his place in Heaven with the saints. Liliom, the carnival man, far from being purified by fire, steals a star on the way from Heaven to Earth, giving it to his daughter Marie. Later he strikes her and must return to Hell.
Leonard Tobin is cast in the role of Liliom with Jacqueline Paulk as Julie, Liliom’s wife and mother of Marie their daughter, played by Dorothy Bell. Ann Zalesky, who will be remembered for her performance of “Hedda Gabler” will play the part of Mrs. Muskot, a carnival woman in love with Liliom.
Other members of the cast include Mary Gilbert as Mrs. Hollunder; Bill Probasco as Fiscus, a thief; James Daar, Yound Hollunder; Russel Hall, Wolf Beifield; Bob Beutel, Magistrate; Max Marvin, a plainclothes-man ; Bob Masterson, a poorly dressed man and Julian Quarles and Harry Miles, as the two mounted policemen.
Miami Debaters Meet Columbia NextW ednesday
Radio Broadcast Pending; Three Other Debates Held Last Week
City Commissioners Overule Siler’s Promise To University
ACTION IS SURPRISE
Inquiring Reporter Finds Pan American Institute Is Favored
Belief Expressed That It Will Promote Feeling Of Lasting Peace
Dave Hendrick and Jerome Wein-kle, two veteran debaters, will meet Columbia University of New York City on March 24. The debate will be held either in the auditorium or broadcast over radio station WIOD.
The Miami team will uphold the negative of the resolution that “Congress Should Be Empowered to Fix Minimum Wages and Maximum Hours for Industry,” with Columbia’s well known and experienced team taking the affirmative.
Miami’s affirmative team of Milton Wasman and Dick Arend debated Charles Nunn and James Sermons of Petersburg Junior College last Friday night in the auditorium. Constable R. B. Chastain acted as chair-i. The subject was the regular inter-collegiate question of wages and hours. It was a non-decison debate.
William and Mary College’s debaters, Norbert Salpeter and Walter Simpson consecutively met both of the University of Miami teams, last Monday and Tuesday. The Virginia team upheld the negative of the debate, Resolved: “That Congress Should be Empowered to Fix Minimum Wages and Maximum Hours” on Mon day night. Milton Wasman and Dick Arend were their opponents. Mr. Otho V. Overholser was chairman. There was no decision.
Dave Hendrick and Jerome Wein kle engaged the William and Mary team on Tuesday night, with Miami having the negative side this time. In place of a regular debate, a roundtable discussion of minimum wages and maximum hours was held. By this method, which was an innovation in debating, doubts and suggestions may be raised at any time.

Question: What is your opinion of the Pan-American Institute?
Nat Glogowski: “The Pan-Amer ican Institute is inevitable, so why not do all in our power to firmly establish it? The time is ripe for such an undertaking to cement our already amicable feelings, to acquaint the young people of the different countries with each others’ habits and customs, and to preserve our feeling of peace against the turmoil of European tendencies toward war.”
Helene Couch: “I am in favor of any worthy project to promote peace Besides, I believe a great deal can be accomplished through one special phase like the Pan-American Institute. Anything that will establish closer and more congenial feeling be tween Latin American countries and the United States is to be cc mended.”
Luis Molina: “The Pan-American Institute will, I think, give the stu dents of the member universities two wonderful opportunities: first, the advantages of a large faculty from different universities; and second, the opportunity to get acquainted with Cuba and the Latin race “right on the spot” by knowing defects as well as qualities, which is the only way to know a race.”
Dick Arend: “The Pan-American Institute is the most intelligent step that has been made by the Americas to create a lasting friendship. It has further heightened my respect for Cuba and its people.”
Harry Miles: “I have been waiting for this opportunity for two years.
Rendich Meóla: “It would be ideal for American students who have Spanish courses in the freshman year to go to the Institute to continue their studies as sophomores, and prac tice speaking Spanish at the same time, returning to Miami for the junior year.”

FIPA-FSGA Meeting Set For Apr* 30-May
James Daar, president of the Flor ida Intercollegiate Press Association and John Esterline, president of the Florida Student Government Associa tion, announced this week that the third annual joint convyition of these two groups will be held April 30-May 1 at Rollins College.
Several committees are to be appointed before the convention so that they may make a thorough study of the problems which will be discussed.
Delegates from seven Florida colleges will be represented at the joint meeting. Last year Miami was host to seventy delegates from the various colleges and universities.

Once again the University of Miami is forced into the shadows to make a place for Jess Yarborough’s Miami High School “Stingarees.”
At a meeting of the Miami City Commission on Wednesday morning, Recreation Director Ernie Siler’s promise to the University that we could have the use of the municipal athletic field for a Thanksgiving Day game was disregarded and the use of the field was granted to Miami Edison and Miami High Schools.
For the past two years the use of the field on Turkey Day has t een the cause of controversy between the University and the high schools. Last year the University officials agreed not to play on that day, with the promise that we would be given the field this year.
In a statement made yesterday, Dr. Jay F. W. Pearson, acting president of the University in the absence of President B. F. Ashe, said, “I think we will be willing to take whatever the high schools leave for us, but we hope that we can continue to have our Friday night games.”
The action of the commission makes it necessary for U. officials to arrange another date for the game with Drake of Des Moines, Iowa.
Jess Yarborough, Miami High coach, said after the vote that HE will be glad to meet with University officials and give them any other dates they desire.
ianquet Will Begin Phi Alpha Festivities

Saturday evening an informal in vitation dance will be held at the fraternity house on North Greenway Drive. Decorations will be carried out the Easter motif. Refreshments will be served at midnight.
Phi Alphas and their dates will at tend the Easter Sunrise Services on the beach in a group Sunday morning and return to the Tiffin Restaurant in the San Sebastian Hotel for break fast. Miss Mary B. Merritt will act as chaperon.
Survey Records Show increase In Stature Of College Students
Girls, Watch Your Diet! You Too Are Gaining Weight, Statistics Show
[INTERCOLLEGIATE PRESS]
New York, N. Y. — College freshmen are taller, heavier and younger than they were 20 years ago.
Several years ago Harvard University discovered that its students were growing taller at the rate of one inch every 32 years. But it was argued, Harvard students represent a privileged class. What about the middle class Americans?
Several colleges in the middle-west undertook to find out. They conducted surveys, tabulated results and reached the following averages.
Men freshmen entering for the 1935-36 term were a full 1.78 inches taller than those entering in 1916. Freshmen women entering in 1935-36 were 0.79 inch taller, on the average, than those admitted 20 years earlier. Weight has increased gradually in all students, although the increase has been greater for men than women. The average male student entered universities in 1916 at the age of 19.45 years. The average age for entering in 1936-36 was 18.83 for men and 18.60 for women.
This leads to the belief that today the 18-year-old youth is reaching a state of development, physically and mentally, which was not possible for the average 19-year-old students in 1916.
Student Returns to Old Love, Marine Zoology, After Visit to Mexican Ruins
By Arlene Richardson
With that short leather jacket, gaily trimmed and white-fringed, Mexican straw sandals or huaraches, and a super-bronze complexion, there’s something very different about Dave Duncan these days.
Dave has been exploring the archeological ruins in Mexico and seeing lots of the country on the side. He delved around Cuernavaca, Acapulco, and the ancient pyramids of Teotih-ihuican, and aired some of his University Spanish par excellence on the natives thereabouts.
The opportunity to make the trip came up just before Christmas, while Dave was attending the University of Arizona. He and two fellow would-be-archeologists left by auto for Laredo and then took the International Highway to Mexico City. Dave vouches for that highway, good going with beautiful scenery sprinkled along the edges.
The travelers spent Christmas in Mexico City. The feature attraction for the Navidad was a bull fight with the cream of Spanish picadores displaying their skill. To keep up the
interest, the bulls didn’t always get the worst of the encounters, and the Americanos yelled with glee.
Dave also spent some weeks in that torrid sea port on the Gulf, Vera Cruz, and in Acapulco on the Pacific coast. Acapulco is at the southern extremity of the International Highway with ideal climate and nice people is Dave’s idea of a real town.
But the ancient appeal of ruins and pyramids couldn’t do a thing about the sand in Dave’s shoes and the rivalry of the marine life in Biscayne Bay. So back Dave has come to the University of Miami and Marine Zoology.
IBIS POETRY PRIZE
Miss Vivian Yeiser Larrimore has agreed to be chairman of the board of judges that will decide which poem shall win the Ibis Poetry Prize offered by Mrs. Cle-land Davis. The prize for the best poem submitted will be ten dollars. Other judges will be announced later.
