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
Thomas 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 Overholser in an interview, stated, "Indication point toward a most successful 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 debates. 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."

Proposed To Support
University of Miami
Five student government and six
press delegates leave today by automobile for Rollins College to attend
the annual joint meeting of the Florida Student Goverment Association
and the Florida Intercollegiate Press
Association in Winter Park.
Nat Glogowski, president of the
student body, Mary Frohberg, Carl
Carl Fien, Thomas Condon, and Bill
Bennett will attend as representatives
of the University of Miami student
government.
The Hurricane will be represented
at the convention by Allen Baker, editor; Flo Fowler, managing editor;
Lawrence Peabody, business manager ; and Brad Boyle, sports editor.
Three consecutive issues of the Hurricane will be submitted'to the judges
in competition with other Florida
college newspapers.
Julie Davitt and Charles Luehl,
editor-in-chief and business manager
of the Ibis, respectively, will represent the Miami yearbook, and will
offer the 1936 edition for judging.
At the yearly convention, the best
college weekly and the best college
annual publication in Florida are
chosen by a board of judges. Every
college and university in Florida is
represented in this contest except the
University of Tampa.
The 1937 joint convention begins
officially Friday morning after registration at 8:30, and will last until
Saturday evening. Although the official program has not been made public, it is expected that there will be
both formal joint meetings and more
informal round-table discussions.
The delegates will be accompanied
by Mr. and Mrs. Lewis G. Leary jr.
Mr. Leary is faculty advisor of the
Hurricane.
The University of Miami was host
to the joint Florida Intercollegiate
Press and Student Government Associations last spring. At this convention two Miami students were elected
to the top executive offices. John Esterline was chosen president of- the
F.S.G.A. and James Daar, president
of the F.I.P.A.
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."

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 % 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, students 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, a
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.
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 continues 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
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 initiation of four new members.
The newly-initiated Bachelor of
Music degree students are Freda
Slauter, violinist; Sarah Bergh, violinist; Anna Dalida, violist; and Mildred 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
t/cket 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.
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.

Besides    this,    Hardman    conducted
the   band   in   his   own   composition,
-Then  and  Now."  The  composition

"Concertino for the Clarinet," affording opportunity to show the technical
dexterity of the artist and the nimble-

ALLIANCE FRANCAISE
The Miami Alliance Francaise
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 Tous-

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.
Graduates' Chances
Best In Seven Years
Minneapolis Survey Points to
Favorable Prospects
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 govern-
' mental 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
