fleets Alpha Phi production Is gnacted Before Large Audience
played Perform Excellently ¡n
Gay Farce; Was Second Annual Production
By Audrey Rothenberg
«Three Cornered Moon,” the mad comedy by Gertrude Tonkonogy, second annual production of Theta Alpha Phi (dramatic fraternity) was presented to a large and responsive audience Wednesday evening in the University auditorium. The play was handled entirely by the members of
the organization.
While not perfect in stage mechan-jcS) a definite knowledge of stage direction and technique was displayed. James Parrott should be commended for his efforts in directing
the play-
The large attendance was probably dUe in a large part to the excellent advance notices secured for it by James Thayer, publicity director for Theta Alpha Phi.
Dorothy Mae Buddington, while lacking smoothness in parts, gave a good performance as Elizabeth, the sanest of the not-quite-sane Rimple-gars. She was exceptionally good in her lighter parts where a sparkling-liveliness is a characteristic particularly hers.
As Kenneth Rimplegar, Maxwell Marvin gave a finished performance, with equal conviction the

Miami Will Have Peruvian Guest
Dr. Rafael Belaunde,Sr., Former Professor To Be Present at Commencement
Inaugurating a new tradition at the University, the first annual faculty dinner was held last Saturday night in the Cafeteria, which all the faculty members and their wives attended.
Miss Merritt, chairman of the dinner, presided as hostess, introducing Miss Foster who very deftly imitated Major Bowes by drawing out the talent in the crowd. Dean Rasco, Miss Clark and Hannah Asher were among the Foster prodigies.
The past, present and future of the University was thoroughly diagnosed by Dr. Ashe, the principal speaker on the program.
Dean West dazzled the entire assemblage with an original poem satirizing the faculty and the administration.
Dr. Briggs representing the new faculty members gave a short talk convincing himself and everyone Present that they are very happy to be here.
Next year’s dinner promises to be ^ event to look forward to, when Nr. and Mrs. Lewis G. Leary will jwe^ charge of arranging the affair.
By Phillip N. Hess Dr. Rafael Belaunde, former professor at the University of Miami and minister plenipotentiary from Peru, will arrive in Miami for a brief visit on Tuesday.
His Excellency Doctor Rafael Belaunde is a graduate of the University of San Marcos in Lima, Peru where he received his degree of Doctor of Laws and Political Science. Soon after his graduation he started to work for the government of Peru. He began as Librarian of the Senate and later became the holder of the highest, non-political, administrative office of the Peruvian government, the ‘Oficial Mayor del Senado.’
During the regime of the terrorist Leguia, Doctor Belaunde and his fam ily were exiled because of their strenuous opposition to his unjust government. It was then, after a sojourn in France, that he came to the University of Miami to become a member of our faculty.
While here Doctor Belaunde was the head of the Spanish department and the Latin American department, instituting several new courses in South American Economics and Geography. We who knew him during his stay here admired and respected him for his wonderful personality and his scholarly learning.
In 1930 Doctor Belaunde represented the University of Miami in Havana on the occasion of the celebration of the second centennial of the University of Havana. Later he was sent by his government as the Peruvian delegate to the Pan-Amei-ican Conference in Washington, D.C. The honors and decorations con-(Continued on Page Three)____________

When is their busiest season? At the beginning of each term, when the books come in. That makes them mad; they have to work almost as fast as real post-office clerks.
How does the post-office clerk like his work? “Well, it’s all right, but a fellow gets tired of playing post-

What’s his hobby? Stamp collecting, of course.
J. Edgar Hoover Tpaped By Maryland Honorary
J. Edgar Hoover, Chief of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, was tapped by Omicron Delta Kappa, national honorary leadership fraternity at the University of Maryland on
May 13th.
Each year a figure of either state or national prominence is chosen to be pledged by this organization. Governor Harry W. Nice, chief-executive of Maryland, was chosen last year for honorary membership.
Word has not yet been received from the Paramount Theatre as to the percentage the University fund will receive from the Monday night performance. Carl Fien, in charge of ticket sale for the show, found students anxious to view themselves on the screen.
Work on the landscaping project which is sponsored by the city of Coral Gables is rapidly coming to a successful finish. The parkway surrounding the school has already been planted with grass, and shrubbery will be placed about the building and in the patio.
Dr. Ashe commends the students on their cooperation and for not having parked on the ground that is under improvement. It is because of this willingness among the students that work has been enabled to be carried The school authorities hope that
By Joe Y. Bloom
When the brilliant Bobby Breslin steps into the ring on Saturday night against the equally sensational Toby Tobias, Miami fistic fans can expect to see one of the classic scraps of the decade as far as amateur punching is concerned. At no time has such interest been shown in a simon-pure fight as is being shown for this Saturday night event. Over 1000 fans are expected to storm their way into the South Beach punch-bowl.
The fight appears to be a toss-up. Breslin, the son of the former world’s heavyweight champion, Jack Britton, is the more experienced of the two, and as a result will be heavily backed by his 100 University of Florida buddies who have made the trip from Gainesville to see the Gator star fight the U. of M. Hurricane master-boxer.
Breslin and Tobias are in excellent shape, both being down to about 145 pounds which is quite low for both lads. There will be no excuses. Breslin and Toby have piled up outstanding records in the ring during the past year. Our own Toby has developed from a mediocre swinger into a clever master and appears much improved of late, but it is the writer’s opinion that Breslin will be just a bit too smart, and he should take the decision after five blistering rounds.
The University of Miami Band will play at the arena before and after the scrap. Remember that the M club members are promoting this affair and receipts will go towards a book fund for the athletes.
The semi-windup will find Jim Bu-jold pitted against dynamite Johnny Paul, a savage left-handed belter who should put Bujold on the canvas at least twice. It will be a technical knockout for Paul in one or two heats. If Jim goes the limit in this I one, he deserves plenty of credit, i Dave Duncan, good-looking Tucson I thumper, will appear in the main ; preliminary. Keep your eye on Dave , as he has improved considerably as a ¡result of several workouts with his | cousin, Freddie Steele, Seattle whirl-Iwind who is destined to become the | world’s middleweight champion in a short time.
The first fight starts at 8:00 p.m. sharp with the main event going on about 9 or 9:15. The prices are 40 cents for general admission and 70 cents for seats with the elite. See you there. (Don’t bet on fights.)

POISON ANTIDOTE FOUND
Columbus, Ohio (ACP)—An effective antidote for the deadly carbon monoxide poisoning is the goal of Samuel Seifter, Ohio State student who explained his experiments in a paper read at the recent convention of the American Chemical Society.
Seifter reported that 75 per cent of the rats he poisoned with carbon monoxide in developing his antidote, recovered after injections of a solution of ferric chloride and hydrogen peroxide.
