Coach Overholser wined and dined his varsity debaters at his home Tuesday night to close a successful season. Dave Hendrick, Milton Wasman, Jerome Weinkle, Dick Arend, and ihomas Lee, the manager, attend the dinner.
Only two debates were lost out of sixteen during the year. South Carolina won 4-3 over Miami at home, and Tallahassee eked out a 2-1 decision on the road trip. Coach Over holser in an interview, stated, “Indi cation point toward a most success ful year in 1938. All four of the varsity debaters will be back to school next year. Their experience has been invaluable. They are hard workers and improve with each debate.”
Concerning the road trip, he commented, “Many northern schools wished to meet our debaters, but unfortunately we were unable to include them on our schedule. With proper support and planning we hope to invade the north next year. I feel sure that our team will compile a fine record.”
On the debating tour just concluded the University of Miami team defeated Rollins College, Stetson University, Southern College, St. Petersburg Junior College, and the University of Florida.
Expressing his gratitude to the University of Miami for its support Coach Overholser said, “I want to thank Mrs. Motter, Mr. Hester, and Mr. Mason for their indulgence in coming out to judge the try-out de bates. I want to thank also Dr. Briggs Kenneth Ballinger, Constable Chastain, and Robert Taylor for acting as chairmen. Naturally, we are indebted to all those who attended the debates.”

Phi Eps Sponsor Dance for Endowment Fund May 15
Opinions on Endowment Fund
David Elsasser, the Hurricane “Inquiring Reporter” interviewed the following sutdents on the opinions concerning the Endowment Fund Project:
Luis Molina: “I think it is an amazing idea, but that the city of Miami should realize the benefit the University is and should help it.”
Jack Madigan: “The students will never be able to raise an appreciable amount, but it will result in valuable publicity.”
Dick Arend: “Of course, everyone is in favor of the Endowment and Building Fund. All I hope is that we can approach some big people.” Milton Feller: “It is a remarkable stepping stone and is worthy of student support to the utmost.”
Roberta Scott: “The U. is destined to succeed. It may as well start succeeding now.”
Brad Boyle: “If the student body will once again display the same spirit that characterized the ‘Paint-the-building-campaign,’ the drive will undoubtedly be successful.”
Florence Fowler: “There seems to be little reason why the enthusiasm and cooperation of the student body which has served to put across other projects in the past should not result in a successful Endowment Fund Drive.”
Leonard Ricci: “With all the spirit that prevails here I don’t see why the drive shouldn’t succeed.”
Ruth Diestelhorst: “There must be more cooperation from the students and the University must prove its standing first.”
Grant Stockdale: “With the publicity we are now getting from all phases of activities here in the school people are taking notice. When Mississippi hears of our outstanding points (and they have) the whole U.S. is bound to. It won’t be long now.” Franc Fitch: “With all the money that concentrates itself here in Miami, it is time some started toward the University. The Endowment Fund Committee should be the directing force necessary to start the ball rolling our way.”
LR.C.Collection Receives Coins
Representative George E. Holt Introduces Amendment In Legislature
University of Miami will be the recipient of a percentage of the Dade County publicity allotment, if the amendment to the 1921 publicity tax act introduced Tuesday by Representative George E. Holt is passed by the Florida State Legislature.
The bill declares “as a proper medium for advertising the advantages of Dade County, the support of a non-profit institution of higher learning having at least a school of business administration, college of liberal arts, school of music, school of law, school of education with an enrollment of not less than 500 students.”
Holt, a representative from Miami, proposes changing the existing tax of y2 mill that the county commissioners are allowed to levy for publicity purposes, to 1 mill.___________
CABANA PARTY
Town and Gown Club will hold a cabana party and supper at the Floridian Hotel, 540 West Avenue, Miami Beach on Sunday, May 2, from five o’clock until eight.
Faculty, studen'ts and their friends are invited. The supper will be thirty cents.
MOONLIGHT MUSICALE
The second in a series of moonlight musicales arranged and produced by Dr. Kelley was given in the patio of the Coral Gables Presbyterian Church on Friday night. Joe Barclay, baritone, sang three numbers, accompanied by Dr. Kelley at the organ. Gladney Head played two trumpet solos, and Mrs. Livingston Street, pupil of Mrs. Adrienne Lowry of the Music School faculty, sang several soprano solos. Other students sang group songs as they strolled about the moonlit patio.
Latin American Countries Make Contributions
Five new Latin-American countries have donated collections of coins to the International Relations Club during the past week. The coins were offered by Dr. J. C. Zamora, Cuba; Mr. Salvador Aguayo, consul, Mexico; Dr. Gonzalo J. Gallegos, consul, Costa Rica; Mr. Ramiro Pertuz, consul, Colombia; and Mr. Frank J. Kelly, consul, Chile.
The coin collections now represent nine South American countries. Others included in the collection are Bolivia, Panama, Santo Domingo and Guatemala.
A new policy in collecting the coins has been put into effect recently by the I.R.C. members. Instead of soliciting the collections through the mail as formerly, the commission organized by Porfirio Perez and Miguel Colas has been visiting the South American consuls who are residing in Miami. The plan has met with much success.
Pan American Airways has promised to transport the coins; it is only necessary to take the package to the main airport to insure transportation to the University.
Mr. Aguayo, Mexican consul, stated Ihat he will supply any kind of information and all available assistance to any students who wish to attend the University of Mexico summer school which starts June 28 and con tinues until August 18.
Mr. Ramiro Pertuz, Colombian minister to the United States and his wife are giving a lecture recital on the music of the South American counries in the University Auditorium on May 10, at 8:30 p.m. This will be of interest not only to music students but also to students in the Spanish classes. All are invited.

ORIGINAL SELECTIONS CONDUCTED BY COMPOSERS HEAD, HARDMAN
Closing .the subscription concert series Monday night in the Miami Senior High auditorium, the University Symphonic Band was heard in an intimate and unusual concert. That the University Band reaches the art-loving public through the students was revealed by the generosity of the conductor, Walter S. Sheaffer when he yielded his baton to three of the students from his conducting class, two of whom conducted their
own compositions.
Warner Hardman appeared as pi-ano soloist in the Liszt Hungarian Fantasia. The rendition was marked by precision and good tonal effect.
Besides this, Hardman conducted the band in his own composition,
Then and Now.” The composition,
Mozartian in style, is interwoven with harp cadenzas and leads through thread-like themes carried by small combinations of wind instruments to a climax of symphonic proportions.
Cladney Head conducted the band f„r he Piano solo, giving the soloist ¡mole support and yet staying within
the bounds of an accompaniment. His
Group Entertains National Fraternity President
Sigma Alpha Iota, national women’s musical fraternity, had as its guest recently Gertrude Evans, national president, of Ithaca, N.Y., who was present last Saturday at the in itiation of four new members.
The newly-initiated Bachelor of Music degree students are Freda Slauter, violinist; Sarah Bergh, violinist; Anna Dalida, violist; and Mil dred Thompson, soprano.
Varied musical programs were given for the entertainment of Miss Evans by the local Sigma Alpha Iota members and pledges. The programs included string combinations for violin, viola, and piano concerto, selections for three violins, two-piano numbers, original arrangements for three violins with piano, besides esthetic dances, vocal solos, original poems, and compositions.
A luncheon honoring the national president was also given this week, with Miss Bertha Foster, dean of music, and Miss Mary B. Merritt, dean of women, as the other special guests.
Miss Evans, in speaking of the reputation of the University of Miami School of Music throughout the country, commented on the final band concert as “the finest thing of its sort” she had ever heard. She expressed herself as impressed by the versatility in evidence and claimed the work done here would do credit to any professional group.
Sigma Alpha Iota was the first Greek letter group on the campus. The organization was chartered soon after the founding of the University, and for many years was the only national fraternity here.
This women’s group stands for the very best in music and aims to sustain interest in original compositions besides encouraging the maintenance of the highest standards in public performance among its members. It numbers among its national honor members most of the outstanding women artists on the opera and concert platform today.
As the first step in the student campaign for a permanent building and endowment fund, each campus organization and individual student of the University of Miami will cooperate with Phi Epsilon Pi fraternity, sponsors of an Endowment Fund Benefit Dance to be given Friday, May 15, at the Country Club of Coral Gables.
Two representatives from each University organization have been asked to work with Dance Chairman Sam Greenberg in making this dance an outstanding success.
The Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, music fraternity, will donate its services in providing music for the evening. It is planned to have two orchestras for indoor and outdoor dancing.
Printing of the tickets, programs, and posters for the dance has been donated by the Parker Art Printing Association.
The dance committee is planning a program of professional caliber. Many notables of the entertainment world, visiting in Miami, are being asked to take part in the benefit program. Gwen Williams, University student singer with Chet Brownagle’s Orchestra, has already volunteered her services for the occasion.
A somewhat unusual procedure will be followed in selling the tickets for this dance. Each student in the University will be expected to assume responsibility for at least one ticket.
Said Greenberg, in explaining this procedure, “It is imperative that we receive 100 percent cooperation to put this dance over. We do not feel that we are imposing any hardship in asking each student to purchase a Lcket for this dance.
“We feel that it is only fair that each student be given the opportunity to contribute toward this initial enterprise of the endowment fund drive.”
In accordance with the policy set forth by University officials, the bar of the Country Club of Coral Gables will be closed during the Endowment Fund Benefit Dance.
All students are urged to attend a special assembly tomorrow at 10:10, which is being sponsored by the Student Committee for a Permanent Building and Endowment Fund.

Lawrence Tremblay’s clarinet tone was heard to advantage in Weber’s “Concertino for the Clarinet,” affording opportunity to show the technical dexterity of the artist and the nimbleness with which this instrument can be played.

ALLIANCE FRANÇAISE
The Miami Alliance Française will meet tonight at the Coral Gables Country Club. An interesting “soiree” has been planned, devoted to the study of Haiti. Mr. Curtis, consul to Haiti, will show movies of the island.
In addition to musical numbers there will be short talks on Toussaint L’ouverture, and on dialectal features of the Haitian French.
Students are cordially invited to attend the meeting which is scheduled for eight o’clock.
trolled, in Ketelby’s “In a Chinese Temple Garden,” handling the baton freely and smoothly.
The harp is heard all too rarely in this vicinity, so it was with great enthusiasm that the audience greeted Marie Farmer’s skill in her playing of “Minstrel’s Adieu” (Thomas), followed by an encore, “The Volga River Boatmen.” With a thorough command of nuances, ranging from the most delicate to the most sonorous possible to the harp, the solo provided an interlude that fittingly coordinated with the brass, wind and percussion choirs, represented throughout the rest of the program.
Mr. Sheaffer conducted his band in the Sakuntala Overture of Gold-mark, selections from Massager’s “Two Pigeons” Suite, Siegfried by Wagner, and then did not come to the podium again until the Finale, Andrea Chenier of Giordano.
Judging from the remarks by the audience, this innovation by the students was a happy one, giving the public opportunity to see the work being done in the conducting class and in the music school, and provided a fitting climax to the most successful season that our symphonic organizations have ever had.
Practical Study Methods Emphasized in Education
New York, N. Y. — The trend in modern education is to emphasize practical rather than theoretical methods of study. Personal experience always makes a deeper impression, and direct contact with problems stimulates solution more than the indirect acquaintance made in the lecture room.
Several universities have realized the advantages offered by intimate contacts with problems, and have taken advantage of the opportunities offered to bring students into closer relation with conditions pertinent to their understanding.
Colgate University claims success for its plan and will continue to have a group of social science students spend the first semester of their course in Washington studying the operations of the government. Students report that Washington is no more expensive than Hamilton, site of Colgate University.
Twenty-two students of political science and economics from Mount Holyoke, Smith and Amherst visited Washington recently to study the functions and structure of governmental agencies.
Employment prospects of this year’s college graduating classes are only a little less favorable than those of the 1929 graduates, and substantially better than the June, 1936 classes experienced. This evidence of continued employment improvement is revealed in announcement today of the results of a survey just completed by Investors Syndicate, of Minneapolis.
Engineering, business administration, teaching and general business classifications are offering employment in greatest volume, according to J. R. Ridgway, president of Investors Syndicate, in announcing the results of the study. Law, journalism and investment banking are near the foot of the list, he said.
These conclusions are based upon analysis of questionnaires returned by 218 leading colleges and universities which account for nearly half of the total enrollment of male and coeducational institutions.
In volume of recruiting among this year’s graduates, General Electric Company, Du Pont, Proctor & Gamble, Westinghouse and various American Telephone subsidiaries are leading, Mr. Ridgway said.
“More than half of the June graduates of 185 institutions replying to the questionnaire are expected to be on payrolls before the end of the summer,” said Mr. Ridgway. “Within a few months after graduation, seventy per cent or more of the graduates of 163 institutions are expected to be at work. Twenty-eight universities report that more than 90 per cent of their June graduates would be employed, while 13 say that they expect prompt employment of fully 85 per cent of the June classes.
“One hundred fourteen institutions declared that employment would exceed that of 1936. Eighty-nine replies expressed the opinion that this year would be about on a par with 1936, while nearly 30 per cent of the (Continued on Page Four)
