Views Expressed on Honor System
Pro and Con Opinions Given At Assembly Program Last Friday
Honor Week culminated in an honor assembly on Friday when representatives of the opposing factions of the school openly expressed the pros and cons of a definite establishment of an honor system in the Uni versity.
Helene Couch, vice president of the student body, introduced John Esterline, president of the FIGA and instigator of the idea of installing the honor system here. Nat Glogowski, president of the student body, expounded the views of the senate in favor of the project, while Mr. Lewis G Leary, instructor of English, questioned the possibility of success or failure. Felix McKernan, president ot the senior class, then presented the views of his class on the subject.
Mr. William Hester, instructor in the Law School, strongly stated the dangers of placing the responsibilities on the students in expelling eir friends who are discovered cheating.
The assembly ended with a brief rebuke to the honor system as given by Jack Sitta, secretary of the Inte fraternity Council.

Madison, Wis.—To abolish all fees in state-owned colleges is the aim of a “student act” that will be presented in the Wisconsin state legislature this week.
In addition to calling for the cancelling of fees, the bill provides for: 1. Election of one student and one faculty non-voting representative to the board of regents by the student body and faculty respectively. 2. Reduction of out-of-state tuition. 3. Maintenance of scholarships awarded on a basis of merit and need. 4. Representation of the student body on the student life and interests committee by a voting representative. 5. Establishment of a commission to investigate the possibility of furnish-ing free texts for students. 6. Free dental and optical care for students. 7. Creation of a state board of education with wider powers and larger membership to integrate educational policies of all state-owned schools.
The Wisconsin Youth Act, which is being considered before the “student act,” is similar to the American Youth act now being proposed in Washington by Sen. Ernest Lundeen.

New York, N.Y. — Stricter law schools are necessary to help allev iate the “appalling conditions” which exist in New York city’s legal pro fession, stated Dean Young B. Smitnx of the Columbia Law School.
Drawing a dismal picture of an overcrowded and poorly-paid profession in his annual report to President Nicholas Murray Butler, Dean Smith said: “Conditions in the professions throughout the country as a whole are bad enough, but in New York city they are appalling.”
For every 763 persons in the nation there is one lawyer, for every 456 persons in New York state a lawyer and for every 378 persons in New York city, one lawyer.
Strengthening his stand that the raising of standards of entrance to law schools is imperative, Dean Smith quoted excerpts from a recent sur-vey^ made by the Committee on Professional Economics of the New York County Lawyers Association: “More than half of the profession in New York county are in the income class below $3,000 a year; 42 V2 per cent (Continued on Page Four)
If one may judge by the reaction of an audience, the Theta Alpha Phi Follies, presented last Friday night in the University Theatre, was a howling success. At times the laughter was so great that the people in the rear were unable to hear the excellent ten piece orchestra, supplied by the Music Department and which contributed so materially to the success of the show.
In a bill like this, of sixteen variety acts, all intended as mirth provokers or optical-easers and all hitting the bulls-eye, it is difficult to spot the high-light of the evening, but perhaps the palm should go to the hard-working Hurricane Chorus who came through with colors flying, to say nothing of their wearing apparel.
Dean Rasco in his first attempt at the job of Master of Ceremonies sustained the laughter between acts.
Stage whisper: Any telegrams for you as yet, Dean?
The Sport Club, Chi Omega, Larry Tremblay and His Stooges, Wm. Bor-ton, the Bridge Expert, Evelyn Est-ridge’s solos, the Barclay-Glenden-ning Duo, and Eddie Baumgarten’s pianologue all deserve honorable mention.
The four dancers, Fripp, Martin and Hastings - Peiter would be an asset to any professional company and the Music Department had a vast unexplored field opened up to them after witnessing the Theta Alpha Phi presentation of their Opera Burlesque
Most important were the financial returns which were sufficient to meet the expenses of the Original Play Contest being sponsored nationally by the fraternity, and Florida Beta Chapter, Theta Alpha Phi, wishes to express their appreciation for the splendid cooperation of all those who participated.

Girls Will Break at Annual Sport Club (Leap Year Dance’
Coeds Will Ask Him, Send Him Corsages, Buy the Tickets Saturday Night
t)r. Victor A.Belaunde Recalled To Capito
Lecture Scheduled For Friday Postponed Till March 20
to
Dr. Victor Andres Belaunde, once professor at the University and founder of the International Rela tions Club here, was recalled Washington yesterday by the South American commission on boundaries of which he is a member.
The lecture scheduled by Dr. Belaunde for tomorrow (Friday) will be poned till the week of March 20, on which date he will return to Miami. At that time he will present the lecture intended for February, and during the following week will discuss his originally scheduled March topic.
Only a broken neck or an earth quake in your backyard is sufficient excuse to miss the fun that will go on Saturday night from 9:30 until 1:00 in the Cafeteria when the Sport Club swing their annual “Leap Year Dance.” It’s the biggest break of the year for men and co-eds.
Girls, you won’t have to take Fleishman’s Yeast for two months or strangle all evening on Listerine There won’t be any broken hearted female wallflowers on account of hal itosis at this one (they’ll all be dancing). It’s your chance to engin eer an evening’s entertainment, and you’ll set a standard that he can top if you’ll drag him to the Leap Year Dance. To do it authentically the women buy the tickets, send him a corsage, and then defend him from as many designing females as possible during the dance. (We’re breathless already).
All you fellows do is to allow your selves to be rushed; it isn’t so ver; hard. Girls swarm around you. You just have to cooperate by dancing with as many as possible. Financially this dance is a godsend to all of the male contingent. No expense, except the wear and tear on your souls. This is a stag and drag affair, come either way, men can stag as well as the co eds; costs everyone thirty-nine cents per, no cover charge.
There will be novelty numbers that will make it a never-to-be-for gotten night, including a girl’s-lead dance, a balloon dance, a good old fashioned rip snorting Paul Jones Sind a sweetheart waltz. The climax of the evening will come at twelve o’clock when, by popular acclaim, the “Bull of the Ball” will be crowned
Flo Fowler, whose “head is bloody but unbowed” from the strain making plans, is in charge, assisted by Audrey Dolan, Denise Caravasios Helen Couch and Madeline Cheney
Tillie is coming to the auditorium tonight!
Under the direction of Mrs. O. E. Motter the comedy by Helen R. Martin “Tillie, the Mennonite Maid” will be presented by the dramatics department tonight and tomorrow night. Curtain at 8:15.
The dramatics department first produced “Tillie” four years ago. The play was offered only one night and a large number of people were unable to see it. Those people will now have the opportunity of seeing the hilarious comedy about which they have heard so much, with most of the originSl members of the cast.
Nedra Brown and Bradbury Franklin have the leads as Tillie, and the teacher. Both were freshmen when they first played the part.
James Parrott again plays the father; Victor Levine has his old part of the awkward country lug, and James North will repeat his performance of the famous Mennonite brother.
The other members of the cast are: Jacqueline Paulk, as Mrs. Wagernag-el; John Madigan as “Doc” Weaver; Bob Butell and Russell Hall, the other brethren; “Wheezy”, Ferrel Allen; Mrs. William Hester as Mrs. Gets, Tillie’s mother; and Mary Paige has recently been added to the cast as the buck-tooth daughter of one of the Mennonites.
Student activity book? will be honored for both performances, but it is preferred that most of the activity books be used on Thursday evening.

Technique, Material Most Important to Writer

MARJORIE STONE MAN DOUGLAS GIVES INTERESTING LECTURE
Kenneth Ballinger, staff writer for the Miami Herald, will be guest speaker at the next Student Institute of Journalism on Tuesday at 12:50 in room 202.
A good-humored little woman, literally bubbling over with wit and enthusiasm lectured informally to the Student Institute of Journalism in room 202 on Tuesday. She was Mrs. Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, newspaperwoman and author of several short stories.
Beginning her talk, Mrs. Douglas said that people who lecture on jour-nalism are placed in a precarious position, since they must, of necessity decide whether they will assume a “human” or a “high-fallutm’ ” attitude. Deciding that she would be “human” she began by telling the students that she had not,_ at any !U had a journalistic background, b” had been literally thrown into a newspaper office where she was seate before a typewriter and commanded , write She also cautioned students about the "snooty” attitudes of the
newspaper intelligentsia who expect the journalistic student to be a running fountain of theories but dry of practice.
Some of the major values which may be derived from the much too glorified profession of writing, according to Mrs. Douglas, are the “daily practice of writing,” “sterile habits of thinking” and the “stern discipline of the linotype machine.” However, a large liabilty which the writer incurs is the acquiring of newspaper vernacular or journalistic jargon from which escape is difficult.
The finest and the most American of all our various types of writing, Mrs. Douglas said, is the completely reportorial account which is an accurate report of facts without the sense of interpretation. Ernest Hemingway and Theodore Dreiser were cited as members of this “hard boiled school.” In line with this type of writing is the development of periodical magazines whose purpose it is to interpret the news. Mrs. Douglas showed a tie-up between the “Tatler” and “Spectator” of Addison and
Steele and the “New Yorker” a current “by-product” magazine, which handles the side lights of our common life in an editorial manner.
According to Mrs. Douglas, the two most important factors in writing are technique and material. Technique includes an absolute control of grammar and its use, while material is still as abundant today as it was in the time of Shakespeare or Homer. She encouraged prospective writers to develop a “seeing eye and a receptive mind.”
From her experience as a teacher here several years ago, Mrs. Douglas said she was astonished at the number of students who write platitudes and who have “no sense of the word,” comparing the “blind-spot” in writers who have not learned the proper use of words to tone-deafness in musicians. “Although the acquiring of a large vocabulary is stressed,” she added, “some of the greatest literature in the world was written within the range of a three hundred word vocabulary. Success lay in the fact (Continued on Page Four)
IBIS PICTURES
Z-Mart Advertised tor Date, He Got It and She Had a Cat
(By Associated Collegiate Press)
The Z-man at the University of Minnesota got more than he expected when he ran this ad in the Minnesota Daily:
Wanted—Girl for fraternity party Saturday. Blonde, 5 feet 5 inches, good-looking, good dancer. Gl. 2133, “Z.”
Reporters phoned Gladstone 2133 time and time again in an attempt to get the lowdown on the Z-man, but the line was busy. “He was sort of nice looking,” was all the girl who took the ad could supply.
And the Z-man got his girl. “They kept the telephone pretty hot,” he admitted, and complimented The Daily for getting out and reaching the public. “I’ve found out that girls in Minnesota are more skeptical than girls in Montana. I had a hard time convincing some of them it wasn’t a gag. They just called up to shoot the bull a while. I’m always willing to do that, of course, but I was really sincere about getting a date for the party. Everything’s fixed up now, though,” he said.
“Hope you have a nice time,” put in the reporter.
“Yeah, I think I will—she’s got a car.”
These group pictures have been scheduled as follows on Friday, February 26 and the cooperation of the members of such groups is urged in that they keep the appointments in the patio at the stipulated time.
9:20—Intersorority Council, Senate, Honor Court.
10:10 — Interfraternity Council, Debate group, Iron Arrow, Newman Club.
