Journalism Is Added As “Practical” Course For Winter Semester
Mr. L. Leary Will Supervise Course; Hurricane Staff Will Aid
In answer to the many requests which have been received by the administration as to a course in journalism, President Ashe, has announced that a course in “practical journalism” will be offered during the winter term.
It will be known technically as English 105, and will be under the supervision of Professor L. Leary. This will hot be a course in the theory of Journalism, but will be more in the form of a round-table discussion to be held on Saturday mornings at 10:30.
The members of this class will be the future reporters, copy readers, and proof readers for the next semester’s Hurricane. Mr. Leary will be assisted by the editors of this year’s staff. In order to pass the course, satisfactory work will have to be reported for the student by each editor.
As the course is outlined, the student will receive at least one week’s actual work in the following departments: news, editorial, sports, copy, proof reading, and make-up.
This will not interfere with any additional courses which may be added next semester. All students interested in newspaper work and all applicants for the Hurricane staff, should enroll for this course.

imoNLomnEKT:
FENCING COURSE WILL NOT OFFER CREDITS
COLLEGE EDITORS URGE FREEDOM OF PRESS - NO FACULTY CONTROL
American college editors want no control by faculty members, no matter how far it may be from actual censorship.
That was the opinion vigorously expressed at a conference of more than 50 editors held recently in New York under the auspices of the National Student Federation of America.
“Faculty advisers,” said one editor, “usually wind up being autocrats instead of advisers,” and the subsequent discussion brought out a smouldering resentment against existing forms of faculty control and a wide demand for more freedom of the undergraduate press in many directions.
Other sore points were the matter of remuneration of editorial and business staffs and varying methods of choosing workers for top staff positions.
The editors were told they ought to he increasingly aware of their opportunities for moulding intelligent opinion along social, political and economic lines.
The so-called ‘Vassar point system’ for remuneration of business staff members, which calls for distribution of a certain number of points for each advertisement sold, and division of the profits at the end of the year in proportion to points amassed received general approval.
General and outspoken disapproval was registered with the common methods of appointing students to fill ranking staff positions. Not the
student body at large, nor the English department, nor the dean should have the right to name editors and business managers, the delegate editors maintained, holding that they should be elected by either the staff or the outgoing board of control.
Francis G. Smith, Jr., editor last year of The Daily Princetonian and president of the Association of College Editors, urged the delegates to pay more attention to what liberals and radicals on their campuses say, than to the conservatives.
“Coincident with a healthy change in the undergraduate outlook in the last few years,” he said, “certain college newspapers have exerted a vital force on campus opinion through intelligent comment on American politics and economics.”
Freedom of speech and the press in colleges must be carefully guarded, he asserted, because “university administrations today are more apt to suppress freedom of the press than formerly.”
James A. Wechsler, editor last year of The Columbia Spectator, told the editors that attacks by certain newspapers and patriotic societies on communism in the colleges was the “first indication of approaching fas-
cism.
“The attack by so-called college patriotic societies on liberal students at peace meetings is also similar to the activities in Nazi Germany.” he asserted.
Travel Rates Reduced For Xmas Holidays
Railroad Will Use Orange Blossom Special on Northern Run
Exceptionally low, reduced fares will be inaugurated for Christmas Holiday travel by the Seaboard Air Line Railway, it was announced by Mr. S. G. Linderbeck, Seaboard’s General Agent in Miami.
To points within the Southeast— South of Washington and East of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, fares will be sold at the fifteen day round trip rate, and tickets will be on sale December 14th to 25th, and will bear a final limit of January 10th, 1936.
To points North of Washington and East of Chicago, round trip tickets good in parlor or sleeping cars will be only one and a third of the regular one way rate, and these tickets will be on sale December 20th to January 1st with final return limit of January 10th, 1936. The round trip tickets good in coaches will also be considerably reduced—being sold at the regular one way price of tickets good in sleeping cars or Parlor cars.
Three fine Air Conditioned trains —will be available for Christmas travel.
The leader of this great fleet is the Orange Blossom Special, completed-air-conditioned, all pullman, no extra fare train. The Blossom leaves Miami at 10:20 a.m., daily on the fastest schedule it has ever accomplished to Washington, New York and other Eastern cities.
Due to erroneous information given to the Hurricane last week, it was announced that credit would be given for a course in fencing under the direction of Captain Jean St. Maurice. The athletic office announced that it does not sponsor courses given outside the University although they believe that those enrolled in this course will receive a great deal of pleasure from it.
An added incentive for those who

Biltmore Country Club on Saturday evening, December 21st. At this time the most beautiful entrant will be chosen by the judges, and a new beauty queen will be announced to the Miami world.
Many of the students and members of the faculty are planning to spend the Christmas Holidays with friends and relatives in the frozen North. These hardy souls are leaving Miami by train, bus and automobiles.
The University will open officially for registration on Thursday, January 2nd. Registration will continue on Friday, January 3rd. The first classes of the Winter Term will be held on Monday, January 6th. It is urged that all students register early as any late registrants will be forced to pay a fine. Students may register prior to the commencement of the vacation.
Prominent Guests to Conduct New Courses In Winter Semester
Leon Henderson, Padraic and Mary Colum Will Be Added to Faculty
When the winter semester begins, January 6, three very capable persons will have been added to the faculty. Leon Henderson, Economic Advisor to the Senate Committee on Manufactures; Padraic Colum, noted Irish poet, and his wife, Mary Colum, well known contemporary critic, will offer courses.
Mr. Henderson graduated from Swarthmore in 1920. He has taught at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and the Carnegie Institute. In 1923 he was appointed Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, after which lie became a director in the loan division of the Saga Foundation. Under the New Dealers he has held the position of Economic Advisor to the Administrator of the N. R. A., and his present position. The courses he will teach next semester are Economics 202, and 405.
The courses offered under Mrs. Colum are open only to juniors and seniors. English 443 will be conducted at 10:30, and English 461 at 11:30 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The former is a junior and senior elective, and the latter is open to sophomores and juniors.
SUBSIDIZATION OF FOOTBALLERS ADVOCATED BY M. I. T. PROFESSOR
Branding college football as a major racket, Prof. George Owen, Sr., of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, advocated the hiring of star athletes on a day laborer’s basis.
This father of the famous Harvard backfield star, who startled the football world himself 12 years by describing the gridiron sport as “drudgery I have never enjoyed,” accused Notre Dame, Ohio State and all the other major colleges, including Harvard, of football commercialism.
He alleged before the Cambridge Industrial Association, that the ordinary wage paid by colleges for a promising football player was “$1,000 or a soft job that is the merest sham to cover the real transaction.”
After citing his interest in his son, who became an outstanding professional hockey player with the Boston Bruins soon after graduation, as proof that he knew what he was talking about “both from the standpoint of the locker room and grandstand,” Owen senior accused Notre Dame
and Ohio State as being the “greatest offenders” in the college ranks.
“Look at these colleges that have had drab football teams for two or three years and then suddenly blossom out with a freshman team that beats the varsity and continues its record through the following years,” he said.
“Does anybody think a thing like that just happens? Look at Centre College, the little school of a few hundred students that used to have a team unbeaten in the nation.
“Is it necessary that your son be battered into physical and mental insensibility just in order that some college may get the publicity and the consequent heavy receipts?
“I advocate employment of athletes just like you would hire ordinary laborers. I would be honest and the public doesn’t care who the players are or where they come from. Every college in the country that has a major football team in indulging in commercialism and trying to cover it up.”
