added, “a girls’ vigilance committee with Madge Gamble as the head has been organized and you’ll get paddled along with the boys.” He then explained that an oath of allegiance to the university would be taken by the class Thursday in the patio at 12:30. Duhaime expressed hope that the oath would become a tradition of the campus.
Burr, Hendricks, and Thayer, sophomore cheer leaders, led the principal Hurricane yells.
Cheering practice will be held today after assembly for the freshmen. Tonight all the lower classmen must be prepared to snake dance, stunt, or play to leap frog for the amusement of the spectators of the Southern Lou-isiana-Miami game. Freshmen are to report to the stands at 7:30 p. m. sharp.
Alumni Association Sponsors Dance Tonight At Club
The Alumni Association of the University of Miami will sponsor a dance following the football game tonight at the Coral Gables Country Club, at 10:00 P. M. This is the first of a series of football dances to be given by the Alumni Association. Philip White, president, is chairman for this affair. Dancing will be enjoyed in the patio of the club, and special entertainment will be held during the evening. Tickets are $1.10 per couple, including tax, and 55 cents stag.
Newly Instituted Concentrated Work Proves Successful
Sponsors Chosen
For Game Tonite
The concentrated courses which, on the initiative of President Ashe, were instituted this year by Dr. Meyer in Freshman Spanish, French and German; and English for foreigners have proven very successful, if one can judge by | the results of its first two weeks in effect.
Not only have the students begun to know the fundamental rules i of the written side of the languages, but they are beginning to be able to converse with each other with some fluency.
Perhaps the only flaw in the entire plan is the fact that the morning spoken classes are too large. This is due chiefly to the average students horror for afternoon classes. Little do these students realize that this means for them more home practice and study to replace the work they would be able to get in smaller classes.

The science department has greatly expanded this year. Many new laboratories and equipment have been added.
A museum of types of animals and plants is being started by the botany and zoology departments. FERA students are working on the mounting of the specimens. This summer, prominent Miamians contributed specimens and materials to this new part of the University. Mr. C. A. Mosier, Mr. Roy Montgomery, and Mr. Pfleu-ger were among the contributors.
Mr. Buswell of Ft. Myers has been added to the science faculty. He has a herbarium of 20,000 plants and a large collection of tropical seeds. The seeds are now on display in the museum.
A glass blowing room, a balance room and a new physical chemis-be try laboratory have been added to ' the chemistry department. The
__ Harvey Bergh scholarship is used
to further research on Dade County soil. This research work has its own laboratory now. FERA students help in this work also.
