Belaunde Lectures With Illustrations on Aged Mayan Ruins
Latin-American Instructor Presents Interesting Account of Trip
Last Friday, before a large number of students and faculty members, Mr. Rafael Belaunde, Jr. presented an illustrated lecture on his recent trip to Mayan ruins. Mr. Belaunde, instructor in Spanish at the University, photographed these ruins, situated near Merida, the capital of Yucatan, and made the twenty-one slides with which he illustrated his lecture.
Mr. Belaunde, accompanied by Mrs. Belaunde, flew to Yucatan in one day. He then drove to the old Mayan Cenote, or City of the Sacred Well, and for two days took pictures of the Itza ruins, among which are: El Castillo, Kukul-Kan, or the Temple of the Warriors, the Courtyard of a Thousand Columns, the “Basketball” Court, and, finally, the Sacred Well itself.
He stayed at a small hotel at the edge of the ruins, which, though its exterior was rustic, was modernly equipped inside.
On his return trip, Mr. Belaunde visited his father in Mexico City.

The	Mind Must Be Active,and
Producing Something’;Frost’s Message to All Student Types
By Louise Herbert
“East is East and West is West,” and so the University of Miami snapped back to America through Robert Frost, from the Hindu inspir-ationalism of Dhan Gopal Mukerji. In our interview with the greatest living American poet, he discussed at length his views upon meditation and study which are so typically American, in contrast with those of Mr. Mukerji, who expressed the Eastern way of thinking to a “T.”
The talk with Mr. Frost was most enjoyable, and would have been perfect had not several middle aged ladies interrupted with: “Mr. Frost, my daughter (or son, as the case was) has written some poetry, and I would like so much for you to see it and give your opinion on it.” To which, of course, the kindly, white-haired New Englander replied that he would be only too glad to do so.
Mr. Frost said that he felt very much at home with the students during his lectures, and, with a twinkle in his blue eyes, added that probably the comfortable arm chair had a little something to do with it. He said that he likes to talk, and usually gets wound up around three in the morning, and would continue indefinitely were not the yawns of his listeners a bit disconcerting.
Mr. Frost told us that the piece of advice that he wanted most of all for the students to take and use is, that whether radical or conservative, the mind must be active, and producing something.
Robert Frost as a poet, we all know, ranks the highest of all living American poets. As a person, he is kindly, sympathetic, and friendly, interested in everything that goes on around him. His wit is as dry as champagne and as sharp as a razor: every remark that he makes is worth jotting down. To use an ultra-plebian phrase, we think Mr. Frost is a perfectly swell gent!
Peg o' My Heart Ably Presented By Univ. Players
Jacqueline Paulk Gives Brilliant Performance in “Peg” Role
“Peg o’ My Heart” was presented Tuesday and Wednesday evening, January 28 and 29, at the University Auditorium under the direction of Opal Euard Motter. Jacqueline Paulk who played the lead gave two very brilliant performances.
The play centers around “Peg” a young Irish girl who comes to stay with her aunt and two cousins. Her mother had married a young ne’er do well Irishman, thereby disgracing her English family. She and her husband moved to New York where “Peg” was born. Because of poverty and the death of her mother, “Peg’s” uncle wills her his fortune if she stays with her relatives in England. The trials and tribulations confronting “Peg” when she arrived was portrayed in the best form by Miss Paulk.
Miriam Lockhart played the “too sophisticated” Ethel in her suberb manner. Constance Klink, as the mother, Mrs. Chichester, was excellent. “Alaric,” Maxwell Marvin, proved to be a typical Englishman and gave a very humorous and good performance.
Gene Boyle, portrayed the typical “Jerry,” but it is hard to say he was equal to Miss Paulk. Phillip Le Bow, as Christian Brent, showed his ability in being a devoted lover to Ethel, along with his affection for “Peg.” Marie Garvin, the maid, Robert Mc-Voy, as the lawyer, who also proposed to “Peg,” and Francis Fitch as “Jarvis,” all gave the leads excellent support.
LAMBDA PHI SORORITY ORGANIZED IN 1927; ACTIVE IN SOCIAL AFFAIRS
In 1927 the Kappa Kappa Gamma Alumni Association selected seven girls from the University of Miami and formed the Lambda Phi sorority.
From the first, the Lambda Phis have been outstanding in both the social and sport event on campus. The Queen of Clubs was chosen from this sorority for five consecutive years. Louise Arnott, Lambda Phi, was elected by the “M” Club as the first “Varsity Girl.” This group sponsors the annual Autumn Formal and the Spring Shipwreck Dance.
Betty Susong, a member of the Sophomore Class last year, won second place on Fred Allen’s amateur program in October.
Betty Sullivan and Aileen Booth were the only women presidents of the student body. Roma Pape, a senior, is now the vice-president of the student government. Dorothy Tyson is secretary of the Sophomore class.
A complete list of the officers and members is as follows:
The officers include: president, Betty Herbert; vice-president, Isa-
U of California Scientists Experiment With “Death Ray
ft
ztt
University of Califorina scientists lave completed the set-up for man’s Jrst experiments with a really lethal death ray,” 14 times as powerful as the X-ray, and so dangerous that approach from any direction to with-‘n 50 feet in unsafe.
The ray is a powerful beam of neutrons, the ultimate particles of atoms iiscovered four years ago by English dentists.
The first sizeable beam of these ■neutrons is produced in the heart of he field of an 80-ton magnet by a Method discovered by Prof. E. 0. awrence of the University of Cal-lfornia.
Involved, though at present unpre-tetable, are possibilities for the
fields of medicine, chemistry and general industry. The neutrons, streaming in all directions from the big magnet, are not stopped by any known type of shield, not even by lead. They pass through the yard-thick coils of the big magnet as if it were teo much paper, and nothing will perceptibly slow them down except water.
To experiment in safety the California physicists have set up a remote control panel 50 feet distant from the magnet, with a tank of water forming a three-foot thick barrier.
As easily controlled as an electric light, the beam is produced by a 12,000 volt current, “stepped up” to 4,500,000-volt beam of neutrons.

Law School Annexes New Court of Appeals
Dean Rasco, Mr. Hester, and Mr. Flowers Justices
In addition to the existing Moot Court, the Law School of the University has created a Supreme Court of Appeals. This new court will be presided over by Professor Hester, Professor Flowers, and Dean Rasco.
Our potential lawyers will be able to fight out their cases in the Juvenile Court Room at the Court House, where the Circuit, Criminal, and Civil Courts of Record function. They will also be able to appeal from here and thus test their own efficiency before the Supreme Court. This affords the students typical legal machinery with which they will have to deal when in actual practice.
The Moot Court meets every Monday at 2 p.m. in the Juvenile Court on the fifth floor of the County Court House. Dean Rasco has issued an open invitation for University students who may wish to witness the trials.
NOTICE
There will be a staff meeting for the continuation of plans for the Ibis today at 12:30 in room 207. All members are requested to be present.

Assembly Addressed By Dr. Emery Ross on Ethiopian Problems
History and Possible Results of Conflict Discussed
Dr. Emery Ross, noted writer and authority on the Belgian Congo, addressed the University assembly on “Ethiopia, Its Problems Today.” He spoke effectively on the political consequences and America’s reactions to Italy’s movements.
Well versed on the history of Ethiopia, Dr. Ross described the traditional foundation of the Ethiopian dynasty as descending from the Queen of Sheba. He also traced the religious significance of Aksum, the holy city of the Ethiopians.
“Not only will the Italian conquest of Ethiopi affect all Europe, but it will also result in a serious menace to the British East African Empire, to the Suez Canal, to the British and French naval power in the Mediterranean, and to control of the waters that irrigate the British cotton country in Egypt,” Dr. Ross said.
This was the first time that the University as a whole has been able to hear an authority speak on Ethiopian affairs, and the lecture was enthusiastically received by faculty and student alike.
PHIL BAKER TO BRING RADIO SHOW TO MIAMI
The name and fame of Florida will be spread round the world when Phil Baker, famous radio, stage and screen comedian, in his role as to the State’s Radio Ambassador of Good-Will, brings his popular “Great American Tourist” cast to Miami to stage his weekly program over the border-to-border hookup of the Columbia Broadcasting System on Sunday, February 16, at 7:30 p.m., E.S.T.
Tommy Tucker’s orchestra, currently featured at the Merry-Go-Round in Miami, will provide the musical portions of the show. The broadcast with Baker will give the nation’s listeners their initial 1936 opportunity to hear the Phi Beta Kappa maestro’s distinctive rhythms. He is making a guest appearance on the Florida program.
Merritt W. Barnum, well-known radio director, will make a special trip to Miami to supervise the production.
Frost Closes Weeks’ Lectures; Allen Speaks At Evening Session
Student Senate Pledges Aid To Hurricane Staff
Editorial Staff Vindicated in Circulation Query of Student Paper
The investigation of Hurricane policies, held at the special Senate meeting Friday, resulted in a mutual appeal by both the Senate and Hurricane editors for student and administration cooperation.
Circulation of the paper was the point stressed in the questioning. Harry Feller, editor, recommended that the Senate instruct the business manager to appoint a competent circulation manager with several assistants. Mr. Feller stated that the job is too big for one person, but if student interest is keen enough, a good number of workers should be willing to help distribute the papers around the University.
Mr. Feller also stated that the number of papers printed, 750, is not large enough to cover the exchange and the present enrollment of the University. He recommended that the Senate present a resolution to the Administration asking that this number be increased to a thousand.
Suggestions have been made that the University establish a Board of Publications to control and be responsible for the student paper. As this would decrease the powers of the Senate, President Vetter asked that the Senators draw up some revised system for appointing and maintaining Hurricane editors.
MRS. COLUMNS CLASS HAS NOTED VISITOR
Mr. Francis Hacket, the eminent historian and biographer of Henry VIII, was a visitor at Mary Colum’s class in literary criticism, on Friday morning, January 24.
Mr. Hacket said, “A writer should not expect tangible dividends in the beginning of his career; that is, a writer should spend the first ten years, from 25 to 35, for example, in constant work, so that by the time he has reached forty he has acquired consumate skill and is the master of his own technique.”
“Then he can devote himself to what he has to say. Clear, individual expression will be automatic, and he will receive the rewards of his early years of work,” he concluded.
Miss Slauter, Violinist

America’s Foremost Poet to Deliver Fifth Talk of Week to Institute
Hervey Allen, well-known author of the best seller “Anthony Adverse,” closes the fifth annual Institute of Literature at 8:30 p.m. tonight with a lecture on “Some Facts About Writing and Publishing in Modern Times.”
Robert Frost, twice awarded the Pulitzer Prize for poetry, will end his series of lectures by reading from his own poems this afternoon.
Mr. Frost on the first three afternoons this week gave a series of lectures, or “lessons” as he called them, on “Learning How to Have Something to Say.” Speaking informally from an armchair on the platform, he interspersed his comments with humorous incidents generally having underlying sarcasm. “Learn how to have something to say when you are young; then, if you ever should have anything to say, you will know how.” Originality—doing ones own thinking—was the theme of the lectures for “we are interesting and entertaining only as we are original,” according to Mr. Frost. “The easiest way to be original,” according to his recommendations, “is to come from an unusual place or go to an unusual place so that you can come there.”

Major Bowes Gains Miami's Admiration
Gives Accurate and Interesting Description of City In Broadcast
Major Bowes made himself a permanent and secure place in the estimation of everyone who likes Greater Miami after the manner in which he described this city in his broadcast dedicated to it last Sunday night.
All the gifts and telegrams sent are quite inadequate in expressing the true admiration and appreciation of the people of this area.
Tom Winston, Miami’s singing fireman, took first place on the program by receiving more votes than all the rest of the amateurs combined, the total of which may exceed 20,000. The exact number will be announced by Major Bowes next Sunday.
Officer Coleman Receives Tribune Courtesy Award

Miami U.-Syracuse Boxing Meet Would Attract Huge Crowd
By Joe Bloom
Intercollegiate boxing may return to Greater Miami soon after the return of the rambling Hurricanes from the frigid North where they are making the name “Hurricane” well known.
An effort is being made to bring the nation’s outstanding university boxers, Syracuse University, to the South. This match would undoubtedly attract between six and eight thousand fans from Miami and surrounding towns.
The lure of collegiate boxing has been felt throughout the country. On
the west coast the collegiate bouts outdraw the best professionals in the game. The East, South and Mid-West are experiencing huge financial successes. The collegiate bouts have provided even greater interest than the Golden Glove Bouts staged by the large cities.
There is every reason to believe that a local battle against the Intercollegiate champions from Syracuse would draw well at the gate. If things materialize, all Miami would crash down the doors to get in and see these brilliant amateurs throw their educated jabs and hooks.
