Amazing, 72 passenger, three-decker flying boats, more than twice the size of the giant clippers flying the international air routes between the Americas through this port, have been quietly under construction for the Pan American Airways System for the past year by the Boeing Aircraft Company bf Seattle, Wash.
Weighing between 40 and 50 tons, these unprecedented “ocean liners of the air” are scheduled for use in establishing regular air service across the Atlantic from the United States. The present Pan American Clippers, familiar from here to Buenos Aires, weigh less than half as much, — 19 tons including cargo.
The Wright Aeronautical Corporation has released the first general information on the new 1500-horse-power engines which will carry the new super-Clippers. By far the most powerful motor for aircraft use either here or abroad, 26 of the new engines were developed for Pan American for use in its fleet of huge “super-Clipper” aerial giants. This official release of information permitted the first general description of the great flying boats to be made public.
Have Powerful Motors
Designed especially for transatlantic transport operation, orders for the fleet of six giant flying boats were placed nearly a year ago following the international conference in Washington at which understandings were reached between the United States and Britain for the establishment of transAtlantic air service. Equipped with a six thousand horsepower power plant, the huge ocean airliners will be the largest transport airplanes ever developed.
While Pan American officials did not reveal specific details they stated that the new “super-Clipper ships” follow, as to type, the general lines of their predecessor Clipper ships which now fly between North and South America and across the Pacific to the Philippines.
An indication of the size of the big flying boats was contained in the statement of Boeing engineers, that they have a capacity for 72 passengers and a crew of 8. Cargo holds will carry in addtion, 5J00 pounds of cargo, they said. Tht speed to be developed by the six thousand horse-powd* engine plant, according to the estimates submitted by the manufacturers, will be close to 200 miles per
hour.
Freshman Barn Dance is Set For Saturday Night
Prize To Be Offered For Best Costume; Proceeds To Pay for Clock
Plans for the Freshman Barn Dance are nearing completion and the finishing touches are being applied. Saturday night is the time and the University cafeteria the place. Admission is thirty-nine cents per person.
Proceeds will go for payment of an electric clock which the Freshman Class presented to the cafeteria a few weeks ago. Dancing will begin at 9:30 and will continue until 1:00.
A prize will be offered for the in dividual presenting the most “Hill billyish” appearance, so overalls and corn cob pipes are encouraged.
Mort Richards and his orchestra have planned a variety of music ranging from the current favorite “swing” number to some good old fashioned square dances.
Entertainment is to be furnished by some of our more talented stu dents, including Mary June Peiter and Virginia Hastings who will do a dance number, A1 Lane, crooner, Grant Stockdale and Luis Molina who will offer some impersonations, Harry Miles, tap dancer, and Bob Beutel who will give some vocal renditions. A surprise chorus by the LeJeune Ensemble will also be featured.
Unique decorations are promised and Grant Stockdale, freshman class president, assures everyone of a good time.
Treasurerships of both the Florida Intercollegiate Press Association and the Florida Student Government Association went to University of Miami students at elections held by the two groups to conclude their third annual joint meeting held at Rollins College last week-end.
Brad Boyle, Hurricane sports editor, was elected treasurer of F.I.P.A., and Tom Condon was named F.S.G.A. treasurer. Both are members of Delta Sigma Kappa, local social fraternity.
Other Officers Chosen
Other officers chosen by the two groups were: F.I.P.A. — Robert H. Van Beynum, Rollins, president; R. B. Huffman, St. Petersburg Jr. College, vice-president; and Jeanne M. Trice, University of Tampa, secretary. Other F.S.G.A. officers include: Robert Collins, University of Florida, president; George M. Waddell, Rollins, first vice-president; Richard Leavenworth. St. Petersburg, second vice-president; and Louise Gehan, Florida State College for Women, secretary.
Florida State College for Women’s bid for next year’s convention was unanimously accepted by both groups.
Resolutions Adopted
At a final joint meeting resolutions adopted by the separate organizations were read. Notable among the resolutions adopted jointly by the associations was the decision of the delegates to support the state Junior Chamber of Commerce in its efforts to bring about legislation to ensure the safety of Florida highway traffic against the ever-present hazard of roaming cattle.
Both groups also voted to go on record favoring a constructive peace program on the campi of the various member schools. The nature of the peace activities would be left entirely to the student body of each group.
Following the final dinner meeting Saturday night in the Rollins dining hall, delegates were guests of honor at a dance given by the Rollins Student Association at the Dubsdread Country Club.
Hurricane Given Tie With Rollins Sandspur For Third Place
ASSEMBLY MONDAY
There will be a special political assembly on Monday, May 10, at 10:10 at which all candidates for offices in the student government will present their campaign speeches.
The entire student body is urged to attend.
Award of first place among annuals published in Florida went to the Ibis, while the Hurricane tied for third place among newspapers, at the 1937 joint meeting of the Florida Intercollegiate Press Association and the Florida Student Government Association held last weekend with Rollins College as host.
Five annuals from Florida colleges and universities were submitted. The judges selected the University of Miami’s “Ibis” first; the Florida State College for Women’s “Flastacowa” second; the Rollins’ “Tomokan” third; the University of Tampa’s “Moroccan” fourth; and the “Triad” of St. Petersburg Junior College fifth.
Special Commendation
Special commendation was accorded the Ibis by the judges for its dignity, logical organization, mechanical excellence, make-up, and good-taste.
The judges’ report read: “The judges were unanimous in commending “The Ibis” for the dignity of its cover design, its logical organization, its typographical and mechanical excellence, and the simplicity and good taste shown throughout the make-up of the book. This annual marks an important step away from the gaudy cover and “scrapbook” effect which has characterized most college annuals in the past. “The Ibis” is an example of the kind of annual which will still be modern ten years from now.”
“Alligator” Be*t Paper
The judges found it difficult to properly rate the newspapers to be judged, since they all established a high standard in college journalism.
First place went to the “Florida Alligator” of the University of Florida; second, to the “Florida Flambeau” of the Florida State College for Women; third, a tie between the Rollins’ “Sandspur” and the “Miami Hurricane”; and fifth to the “Wooden Horse” of St. Petersburg Junior College.
“Hurricane” Gets Mention
All the newspapers showed above-the-average editorial pages, but par ticular mention went to the “Miami Hurricane” for an “unusually attractive page of editorials.”
Of the college literary magazines, “The Flamingo,” Rollins College, was judged the best. The University of Florida’s “The Florida Review” was awarded second place, and “The Dis taff” of Florida State College for Women, was given third place among the literary publications.
Only Small Audience Hears Season’s Most Unusual Concert Monday Night
HoldsworthToSpeak On ‘Gold Dilemma’
Miami Rotary Club Will Hear Business Ad School Dean
Dr. John Thom Holdsworth, dean of the school of business administration and a noted authority on money matters, will lecture to the Rotary Club of Miami next Thursday on the subject, “The Gold Dilemma.”
Dr. Holdsworth has recently completed the sixth revision of his “Money and Banking,” which has been a leading textbook in American universities and colleges since 1914.

A handful of loyal students, teachers, and townspeople attend the Second Annual Benefit Concert of the Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Music Fraternity at Orchestra Hall last Monday evening. With the Symphony Orchestra, the Symphonic Band, and the newly organized Sinfonia Male Chorus participating, the program proved to be one of the most unusual of the season.
Dr. Volpe chose to lead the orchestra through the most popular selections of the year among which were Strauss’ “Overture to the Fleder-maus,” Chaminade’s “Concertino for Flute” with Charles Staltman as soloist, and Tschaikowsky’s “March Slav.”
The highspot of the evening was the introduction of the Sinfonia Male Chorus under the able leadership of Robert Reinert. At last, the dreams of the music department to possess a fine male chorus has become a reality. The twenty male voices blended so excellently that it seemed as if the chorus had been functioning for years. In the “Sinfonia Anthem” and “The Red and Black,” two songs composed for Sinfonia, a real college song spirit was evident. Of more professional music caliber were “The Sandman” by Baughman and “The Prayer of Thanksgiving” by Kremser. The splendid solo work in the former
Intensive Publicity Campaign Gets Under Way
THEATRES TO HELP
While the student body cooperates in a gigantic ticket sale, the Phi Epsilon Pi Endowment Fund Benefit Dance, to be held a week from tomorrow, will be made known to the citizens of Greater Miami through an extensive advertising campaign.
The Goodyear blimp will circle the skies above Miami for several days during the next week announcing in electric lights the date and place of the event.
Sound cars traveling through the streets of Miami, Miami Beach and Coral Gables will blare forth the ws of the dance. The Lincoln, Plaza, Sheridan, Community and Colony theatres have promised the use of their screens for announcements next week.
In addition to these advertising methods, the dance will be advertised by personal contacts as University students approach the business and professional men throughout the city in their sale of tickets.
The Benefit Dance will be held May 14 at the Coral Gables Country Club. Dance Chairman Sam Greenberg announces that if the expected number of tickets are sold, and the Country Club becomes too crowded, the overflow can be accommodated at the Miami Biltmore Country Club and the American Legion Hall, both of which have been offered for the oc-
Sighs Of Relief Are Heard Everywhere On Vassar's Campus
Abolish Mid-Year Exams To Give Schedule Greater Continuity
number was sung by the director Robert Reinert.
The third contingent of the music department, the Symphonic Band then did its share with Mr. Sheaffer on the podium and a cornet trio as a specialty. The ingenious humoresque on “Yes, We Have No Bananas” written by Mr. Sheaffer was the first composition by the band. So delighted were the audience with the German man excerpt and the E flat clarinet-ting of Laurence Tremblay that its repetition was demanded. As an encore, the “Diplomat March” of Sousa was played.
Another addition to the program was the “Volga Boatman” played on the harp by Marie Farmer.
The cornet trio which consisted of Walter Cunningham, Louis Maser, and Kenneth Snapp rendered the melodious “Triplets of the Finest” by Henneberg. While the boys were not always together with the band accompaniment, on the whole they accredited themselves well.
Another scene, “Semper Fidelis” by Sousa was added to the program. Sensing the audience’s fervor for marches, Mr. Sheaffer concluded the concert by conducting two marches, “Washington Post” by Sousa and “The Triumph of Old Glory” by Pryor.
(By Associated Collegiate Press) Poughkeepsie, N.Y. — Sighs of relief can be heard in any corner of the Vassar College campus.
Mid-year examinations have been abolished in order to give greater continuity to the academic schedule. A statement concerning the changes says:
“In order to develop the academic year as a whole, with the breaks occurring normally at the two vacations, and to lessen the pressure of work upon both the faculty and students, from the completion of semester papers and semester examinations at one time the following measures are adopted:
“1. At the end of the first semester such examinations as may be required by departments will be held in the regular scheduled hours of each course, and need not come at the final sessions of the terms. The last two Saturdays of the first semester may be used by departments for scheduled examinations in courses of the 100 grade.
“2. Departments shall have the right to excuse from the final examination in courses ending at the first semester students who continue in semester courses in the same departments. For such students questions of a comprehensive nature will be added in the final examination at the end of the second semester.
“3. There will be no break between the first and second semesters. The term will be continuous from Christmas vacation to Spring vacation. Reading periods (periods without the requirement of a class attendance for any time up to two weeks) may be arranged in any course at any time according to the needs of the course.
“4. Marks for courses ending at the first semester for students leaving year courses at the end of the first semester may be reported at any time up to March 1.
MORRIS LIKES JOB
Line coach Hart Morris expressed his sentiments about his position during an address given before the Junior Chamber of Commerce of Coral Gables, at their meeting last week.
Said coach Morris, “My position is not to be considered a stepping-stone to a bigger job, but as a project to be developed to the utmost.”
