OUR REGRETS, AND OUR APOLOGIES
The Hurricane journalisin’

We regret this gross error and offer our sincere apologies to these distinguished gentlemen for our carlessness as to their identity.

iami Students Offered Awards At Heidelberg
Three Scholarships Are Granted By German University
PLAN SIGHTSEEING
Three Miami students will attend the University of Heidelberg this summer on scholarships offered by the German University. The students awarded these scholarships are Joan
Goeser, Mildred Harrison, and Austin Clark.
These students will depart on the S.S. Deutschland of the Hamburg-American Line on June 19 from New York. Upon their arrival in Hamburg a day will be spent there sightseeing before proceeding to Heidelberg, where they will study for six weeks. Every week-end will be spent in visiting points of interest in that part of Germany. After the completion of the six weeks at the University the students are allowed one week of unsupervised travel before the return trip. They will leave Hamburg on the S. S. Hans and will arrive in the United States on the 20th.
Other Universities in the United States have been offered similar scholarships to the German College and the selected students will sail with those leaving from Miami. A list of the proffered courses has not as yet been received but it is known that Clark plans to take an advanced physics course and Goeser will study German customs and habits.

S. S. Lambda Phi Scheduled to Sink\ Saturday Evening
The fleet’s in, folks—yes it is, in full blast, commanded by the flagship of the Swiss navy, the S.S. Lambda Phi. It only comes once a year, but that’s enough for all good skippers and their mates to dance the hornpipe and the jig and what have you till the ole tub sinks. Its mooring is the Cafeteria of the University of Miami, and it will only be in port one evening — this Saturday night from 9:30 till 1:00—so take advantage of this great opportunity and join the fun.
Admiral Bob Reinert and his merry seamen will pipe the tunes for all ye ancient mariners and your wenches; his speciality will be such nautical ditties as “Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep” and all the quaint old bal lads of the Swiss navy, to get everyone into the spirit of things.
One of the chief rules of the deck is that all seamen, visitors and whoever attends this clambake should dress accordingly, so drag out your oldest pair of slacks and shirt and you will feel at home. Any young swains in tux, tails, coat or tie will be as out of place as a broken arm on Venus.
There is a nominal, very nominal fee of thirty-nine cents per gob, and also a very nominal sum of thirty-nine cents per “gobbess.” Check your firearms at the door as all the crew are of a very peaceable nature, and mutiny will be out of order.
Claudina Mendez, pianist, assisted by William Probasco, tenor, and Mary Ellen Warman, accompanist, will be presented by the University of Miami Conservatory on Sunday afternoon at 5:30 o’clock in the University auditorium.
This is one of a series of programs arranged and presented primarily for University students by Miss Bertha Foster, dean of	the
Conservatory. Admission is free.
The program is as follows:

Students Start Drive to Cleanup Campus Politics
Clearing House, Old Eggs, Written Exams Aid In Elimination
[INTERCOLLEGIATE PRESS]
New York, N. Y. — The campaign .‘or cleaning up campus politics is in full swing on many of the nation’s eading campuses. Student councils are now considering and proposing plans which show promise of assisting in the long drive to eliminate politics from the campus.
The University of North Dakota has recently installed the merit system of election. Each activity on the campus has been rated as to merit, points ranging from one to 25. Applicants for candidacy were rated accordingly, the 10 highest being auto matically placed on the ballot.
University of Montana students conducted an effective campaign through the formation of a new party called the Vigilante. Members of the opposite party retaliated during the Vigilantes’ rally the night before the primary election with a shower of over-ripe eggs. Consequent ly, “the next day saw all Vigilante candidates in the finals.” Two weeks later, all but two of the Vigilante candidates went into office. As a result, Montana has “the most repre sentative, and efficient Central Board in years.”
Swarthmore College states that “the idea of campus politics is foreign” to its organization. The principal reason given is the small size of the institution. Following is brief summary and evaluation of Swarthmore’s non-political election system: “The governing body of the M.S.G.A., the Executive Committee, is made up of representatives of the five fraternities, and the non-fraternity men are proportionately represented. The present committee of eight has three non-fraternity representatives, elected by the non-frater nity men. The two officers of the com mittee are elected by preferential ballot, and there is no collusion in that limited election.”
Plans Complete For Prom To Be Held April 23
Price of Tickets Reduced From $2.20 to $1.40, Stag or Drag
MAY HAVE QUEEN
There will be a special Junior Class meeting tomorrow morning at 10:10 in Room 220 to discuss the possibility of electing a Prom Queen. Your attendance is urged.
Bob Masterson, president Junior Class
Plans for the tenth annual Junior Prom are complete, Jane Mercer, committee chairman, announced this week. Mercer was appointed to the chairmanship by Class President Bob Masterson in the absence of Helene Couch who is not in school this term.
It was also announced that the price of tickets has been reduced from $2.20 to $1.40. The class has been appropriated $90.00 by the Student Senate to cover any deficit which might occur.
As usual the dance will be held in the spacious ballroom of the Miami Biltmore Country Club. The committee has promised that there will be special decorations this year.
Bob Reinert’s Miamilodians have been engaged to provide the dance rhythms. Reinert’s musicians are reputed to be the best dance band on the campus.
Unless arrangements are made to elect a Prom Queen, the grand march, as customary, will be led by the Junior Class president and the Prom Committee chairman. Favors for this year will be kept secret until pre sentation.
Other members of the Prom Com mittee are Virginia Horsely, decora tions; Myers Gribbons, orchestra; Audrey Hammar, publicity; Denise Caravasios, tickets, favors and patronesses; and Bob Streeter, finance.
“Photography for 37 IbisNowCompleted, Says Editor-in-Chief
Editor Julie Davitt and Staff Expects Publication To Appear May 15th
“Ibis photography has been com pleted, the engraving is well under way, and the book has already started to go to press,” Julie Davitt, editor-in-chief, announced yesterday in an interview with a Hurricane reporter. “A few odds and ends of copy are yet to be turned in, but we fully expect the annual to appear on May 15th as previously announced.”
The 1937 edition, dedicated to our Latin-American neighbors, will carry out a Pan American motif. It will follow last year’s edition rather closely, with the exception of this year’s addition of Freshman Features. The editors had expected to publish book somewhat larger than the 1936 edition, but because of the manner in which student activity fees were divided by the student government, this year’s annual will be of the same (Continued, on Page Four)

Dr. Owre then introduced Porfirio Pérez, president of the International Relations Club, who gave a short, interesting address on the objectives of and the studies made by that organization. The club was founded by Dr. Victor Belaunde eleven years ago. The objective of the club is to study international affairs with hope of finding some substitute for war in the settling of international disputes. The International Relations Club advocates the judicial process as the solution of this problem.

‘Pan

and the University’s Relation to it,” was the subject chosen by Dr. J. Riis Owre, professor of Spanish, for his address Tuesday on the University’s bi-weekly Classroom of the Air radio
program.
On Friday at 4 p Franklin, “Classroom will dramatize scenes from Cervantes’
“Don Quixote.”
m. Bradbury announcer,
University of Miami receives plenty of excellent publicity in the current issue of Campus, self-styled “America’s College and University News Feature Magazine.”
In an article titled “Color in Higher Education,” four cuts supplemented by about a thousand words of description and explanatory material are devoted to Miami. The article is sub-headed “Innovations at N.Y.U. and U. of Miami Indicative of Trend Towards Ultra-Modern Education.” N.Y.U.’s “Radio Workshop” receives extensive treatment in the article.
Photographs depict one of Denman Fink’s art classes at work, Dr. Jay F. W. Pearson’s marine zoology class “on location,” Robert Dalton fencing with one of his protegees, and “associate professor” Jack Dempsey tutoring a couple of Hurricane boxers.
Coining a word to describe adequately the University’s special quality, the article calls it “the southernmost and colormost university in the country,” and goes on to describe in detail “classes on the ocean’s bottom, year-round out-door courses in painting and etching, an already famous symphony orchestra, Jack Dempsey, and fencing under the most colorful figure in that sport.”
“Marine zoology,” says the article, “takes the student to a dim, green world at the bottom of Biscayne Bay where he observes and collects animals of the sea which he studied in the classroom and laboratory.”
In the courses in painting conducted by Denman Fink, nationally known portrait and mural artist, and in etching and art history under Richard Merrick, one of the more prominent of the country’s younger artists, students vitalize the small houses of the Florida Keys, negro shacks, fishing boats, docks, bridges, wharves, beaches, and palms, according the Campus, lending additional color to an already colorful department.
The article continues: “Not at all partial is Miami’s administration; if one department gets distinction so does the other and the musical arts have their color as well as do the plastic.
“A 70-piece symphony orchestra under the direction of its founder, Arnold Volpe, a member of the Russian school of music which produced Tschaikowsky, Rubenstein, and Elman, is now in its eleventh year. It regularly presents as guest artists such celebrities as Josef Hofmann, Mischa Elman, Abram Chasins, Josef Lhevinne, the Westminster Choir, Grete Stueckgold, and Albert Spalding.
“The 75-piece Miami Symphonic Band is the product of the work of Walter Sheaffer, former solo clarinetist with Sousa’s Band. Percy Grainger, eminent Australian composer-pianist, has appeared as guest artist with the band.”
WHY NOT CONTRIBUTE?

Zamora to Speak on Pan American Institute Aims
Dr. Perez Cabrera Will Also Speak At Assembly Tomorrow
Explaining the aims and principles of the Pan American Institute of Havana, Dr. J. C. Zamora, dean of the Pan American Institute and former head of the University’s Latin-American department, will be the principle speaker at the Friday assembly program. Dr. Pérez Cabrera, representative from Cuba to Miami’s Pan American Day celebration, will present the University with a medal of the Cuban liberator, Maximo Gomes, together with a collection of books.
Both Dr. Zamora and Dr. Cabrera attended the Pan American Day celebration at Bayfront Park and the City Hall of Miami. Tonight, Dr. Zamora will address the Pan American League at a banquet at the Pan American Airport, and Mrs. Rosario M. Zamora will speak in the name of Cuban women.
The prominent Cubans will return to Havana on Saturday for the formal opening of the Institute.
It is expected that a public address system will be installed in the University auditorium in time for the Friday Institute assembly for the benefit of both the speakers and the audience. Since recent assembly programs many complaints have been made about the poor acoustics of the auditorium.
Pan Amercan Day To Be Observed by I.R.C*
Will Cooperate With County Group At Beach School
Jack Dempsey’s affiliation with the University is mentioned in the article as “associate professor of boxing,” adding that the fame of the Manassa Mauler tends to overshadow the prospective fame of a possible championship team which includes two Miami Golden Glove champs and one Amer ican Olympic team alternate.
The Campus concludes its article on “Color in Higher Education” with a paragraph on fencing at the University of Miami under its varsity coach, Robert Dalton.
“Fencing is fascinating anywhere, but possibly nowhere is it so colorful as at Miami. This is due to one small, quiet, dapper Robert Dalton. In 1896, while serving in the United States Navy, wiry and alert Dalton jumped aboard the Prince of Wale’s yacht, entered into competition with the greatest of the world’s fencing fraternity in Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee and won the international championship. That was forty years ago, but the invincible Dalton has never been defeated in fencing since then.
More recently he has directed all the sword and fencing work in the motion pictures, “Three Musketeers,” “The Crusades,” “Captain Blood,” and “Romeo and Juliet.” In his lifetime he admits engaging in six honor
duels over-----, anyway, he has come
out on the winning end of every one. ‘I’ve never killed a man, though,’ he adds.”
The International Relations Club, through its Pan American Division will cooperate with the Dade County Student Pan American League celebration of Pan American Day at the Miami Beach Senior High School this afternoon and tonight.
The program will begin this afternoon at 4 o’clock with an open house and display of Pan American League student work. At 6 o’clock the students and guests will join in a banquet. Porfirio Pérez, President of I. R. C., will toast Dr. J. C. Zamora who will be the guest of the International Relations Club at the dinner
At the close of the dinner guests will enjoy technicolor sound movies shown through the courtesy of the Pan American Airways. Following the dinner the group will adjourn to the auditorium where a one act play will be presented by the Cuban students of the University including Dolores Marti and Luis Molina.
Short speeches will be given against a background of the flags of the Latin American Republics and the banner of the International Student Pan American League. Mrs. Clark Stearns will present ‘Cintas de honor’ to all students who have made an average of ninety in Spanish.
Following the program in the aud itorium the group will adjourn to the Ball of the Nations where Miss Pan America will be presented with a 21 link bracelet symbolic of the 21 Latin American Republiés bound in friendship. Miss Pan America is named by the school selling the greatest number of tickets to the banquet and dance at 55c each.
Should University students prefer not to come to the banquet but to httend the auditorium program at 7 :30 and dance, tickets for this part of the program may be obtained at the school, 1420 Drexel Ave., Miami Beach, for 25c per person.
Tickets may be secured for the banquet from Dolly Matteson or Betty Curran. *
Student Artists To Be Presented In Last Concert
Tremblay and Staltman Will Be Featured With Orchestra Monday Evening
BOTH ARE SENIORS
After a heavy season of opuses, the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra, Arnold Volpe, conducting, will present a popular program for the last subscription concert next Monday evening at Orchestra Hall with two outstanding members of the orchestra as soloists.
The student artists will be Charles Staltman, flautist, and Laurence Tremblay, clarinetist. Both are seniors and both have been associated with the University orchestra and band for the past four years.
Staltman first became interested in the flute while attending the public schools of Detroit. Free instruction was offered those who obtained instruments. Because it was the cheapest instrument on the price list, Staltman chose the flute As a result of rapid progress, he was playing first flute in the band and orchestra of the Cass Technical High School of Detroit a few years later. There, he attracted the attention of the virtuoso lautist of the Detroit Symphony, John Wummer, who accepted him as a pupil. Under the expert tutelage of so fine a teacher, he became first flautist of the Michigan All State Orchestra and also the National High School Orchestra.
Walter Sheaffer heard him at the Wainwright Summer Music Camp in 1932 and was so impressed with his ability that he offered him a scholarship at this university.
Laurence Tremblay’s choice of the clarinet came when a clarinetist in a Canadian theatre orchestra offered to teach him clarinet. Five years were spent studying with M. F. Tin-ney, formerly first clarinetist of the Chicago Opera, and for two years he was associated with Roy Schmidt, former clarinetist of the Detroit Symphony.
The opportunity of playing under such distinguished musicians as Dr. Volpe and Mr. Sheaffer induced Tremblay to come here in 1933. The prospect of furthering his clarinet studies with Mr. Sheaffer also influenced him.
Both Tremblay and Staltman have been active in teaching young musicians in the local schools of Miami. Staltman produced the prize winning flutists at the recent music festival held in Palm Beach where he was one of the judges. Tremblay has been successful in this work at the Shenandoah Junior High School where he now has 25 clarinet students.
Since entering the University, Staltman and Tremblay have frequently appeared as soloists with the musical organizations of the school as well as in radio and club recitals. In addition, Mr. Sheaffer has appointed Staltman assistant conductor of the University band.
The program is as follows:
1.	Overture “Die Fledermaus” _ _
2.	Concerto for Flute _ _	_
Charles Staltman
3.	Rumanian Rhapsody
4.	Adagio for Clarinet ____
Laurence Tremblay
5.	Blue Danube Waltz _________

Colleges Will Add Course In “War and Peace” Next Year
Miss Foster Returns
Miss Bertha Foster, Dean of Music, has returned from the South Atlantic District Meeting of the National Federation of Music Clubs, April 8 and 9, held in Jacksonville, Florida. Miss Foster was invited to be a judge for the district contest.
(By Associated Collegiate Press)
Geneva, N.Y.—To get behind the complexion of war and reveal its underlying causes is the purpose of the new course, “War and Peace” wh.ch will be added to the curriculum of Hobart and William Smith Colleges next year.
The course will offer a scientific scrutiny of the cultural factors, the economic conditions and nationalistic politics which frequently lead to armed strife, announced Dr. William Alfred Eddy, president.
“War and Peace” will be elective to juniors in completing their four-year study of citizenship required of students at both colleges who are working for their Bachelor’s degree.
How provoking incidents cause war or may be prevented from causing war will be studied. Examples such as the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand at Sarajevo, the invasion of Manchuria and Ethiopia and foreign intervention in Spain will be considered.
The war-study will be divided into three parts, the first dealing with the 1913 pre-war period. Efforts will be made to determine the effects of isolation and alliances.
