Conspicuously absent from tbe
campus is any inter-fraternity council or any similar group the object of which is to promote a better and more sympathetic understanding of one another and to enlist all cooperatively in the greater cause, the good of the University. Certainly this should supersede the more selfish individual aims of the groups.
There is common to many cam-pi annually or semi-annually a I "Greek Conclave” which is, in reality, a convention of delegates from the several Greek letter organizations. Such a conclave could pave the way toward an interfraternity council and consequently to the elimination of political devises in campus elections.
It might sound a little exagger-
ted to say that the Greek letter organizations have a common purpose, a common aim, namely, the good of the University. If one will examine the situation at Northwestern or any other University where these organizations work directly with the administration it is found that the fraternities and sororities are not only an integral factor in the growth of the University but also by so doing aid themselves appreciably.
Greek Conclaves are usually held for a period of from three days to a week. The faculty is an integral part of the convention taking part in the manner of giv-lng advice as from their personal exPeriences and making speeches on such subjects as are common to the several organizations. Dinners and social entertainment also find time in the program. The Principal outcome of which is not that the several fraternities or sororities find themselves much etter off at the end but by con-ding their difficulties, by realiz-lng that their difficulties are com-tn°n 1° the other organizations as they are better able to un-nnstand and appreciate one an-0 er and to work together cooperatively. Such a conclave would e integral in the formation of a °nstant working council. This j° Uliln Is heartily in favor of the ^mediate inauguration of a Greek enclave and would welcome any gt°^men^ from either faculty or u ent body on the subject. . . .

Dual Swim Meet Is Scheduled At Biltmore Pools
Rolw-th h Ga‘°rs Compe‘* With Hurricane Team
Led By Wayne
Miami’s neophyte aquatic team and the unbeaten Rollins Tars will meet in a dual swimming and diving contest next Saturday, May 12, at the Biltmore Pools. It will be the first meet of the year for the ambitious Hurricane stars and from all indications the meet promises to bring forth some outstanding exhibitions from both teams. While here the Rollins crew will be housed and entertained through the courtesy of the Biltmore Pools management.
A recent winner over the University of Florida aquatic team, Rollins boasts a strong lineup, featuring a host of highly talented swimming stars. To match this array of talent the Hurricanes will present a team made up of some of the outstanding stars in the Greater Miami area. Captain Marshall Wayne, second ranking diving star in the United States and holder of numerous State diving titles, will lead his teammates into action against the Tar swimmers. Only the most extraordinary upset in the history of water sports, can keep Wayne from annexing the diving crown. Other members of the team who will see much action are: Burr, Maloney, Duhaime, Wilson, Redfern, Fry, Humm, Tyler and Goldfarb.
On May 19, the Hurricanes will journey to Winter Park, Fla., home of the Tars, for a triangular meet with the Tars and the University of Florida Alligators or St. Petersburg Junior College. The outcome of this meet will decide the champion aquatic team of the State and the Hurricanes are hopeful of giving a good account of themselves against these two strong and colorful teams. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes will attempt to break the long winning streak of the Tar swimmers, who are at present, favorites to cop the state crown. Jack Daly is manager of the home team.

Roger Babson Is Heard By Student Body
Noted Statistician Was Chief Speaker On Yesterday’s Assembly Program
Zoology Student Interviewed By Hearst Representative
Olga Minor, student of marine zoology, was interviewed this week by Harold Farkas, representative of the Hearst papers, for the double-page supplement to be published in the American Weekly some time in June. This will be published along with a picture of Miss Minor, a story on the diving class, and pictures taken on one of the field trips. A large pen and ink drawing of students exploring beneath the water will appear at this time as well as pictures taken by William Beebe.
Farkas was a student at the University of Miami in 1927 and was connected with International News Service prior to his association with Hearst.
Members of the marine zoology class are shown above diving for specimens. Below: Olga Minor, student, with helmet and some of the material brought up.
Four Stranded Co-eds Sojourn On Island All Day and Night
Sea-going Delts Have Trouble With Sloop; Rescued By Plane
Excitement ran high Monday morning as varying, and not always authentic, reports were bandied around the campus concerning the marooning of four sea-going students, namely Nedra MacNam-ara, Mary Etna Terrell, Mary Ayres, and Roberta Scott, on the beach of an island known locally as Chicken Key.
They left the Coconut Grove municipal docks after chartering an eighteen foot sloop and sailed down the bay ahead of the wind. Owing to Miss Scotts susceptibility to mal de mer it was decided to beach the boat and go ashore at ten o’clock. Here they remained until six, at which time the party set out for home. A heavy rudder and damaged centerboard prevented the girls from making any headway and after tacking for three hours they put in to shore only a short distance above where they originally landed.
The food supply held out pretty well, contrary to previous reports, and the chief difficulty lay in the fact that there were only two sweaters among the four—and a cool breeze, coupled with sand flies and mosquitoes added to the general discomfort.
Word of the co-eds predicament was brought by an unknown boatman who called Mrs. J. F. Mac Namara but failed to make known their location or his own identity.
A coast guard plane and the Phil-brick marine ambulance took part in the widespread search which continued all night. The group was eventually located, after seeing the searchers pass the island several times. Having no matches they were unable to light a fire and could not signal. Tiring of their ineffectual efforts to attract attention they made beds of seaweed and retired for the night. They were located at seven in the morning and returned to Miami aboard the coast guard plane, piloted by Capt. Carl Olson, and spent the day in bed. All four turned up for the Lambda - Delta captain ball fracas which took place at five Friday afternoon.
They were much concerned about the worry they were causing their parents and others and state that they would have enjoyed the experience thoroughly otherwise.

Prominent Men Will Lectu re On Business Methods
Economic Students To Hear Talks On Practicability of Theories Studied
Friday, May 4 — Newman Club sponsoring dance at Gesu roof gardens, 9 o’clock.
Sigma Phi sponsoring benefit bridge at Columbus Hotel, 8 o’clock.

Monday, May 7 — Sorority and fraternity meetings, 7:30.
An unusual opportunity for the students in Mr. McCracken’s classes in Marketing and Public Utilities to connect their theoretical study with current business methods and practices is being afforded this term through a series of lectures during the regular class hours given by Miami business men. Dean Holdsworth has arranged with outstanding men to come to the University and present in one hour talks, the problems that must be faced in their special fields and the manner in which they are worked out. Thus there is a unique connection forthe business students between the text book and actual business practice.
Mr. Richard Hill of the Hill Brothers Wholesale Grocery Company was the first of these speak ers to meet the class in Marketing at its session on Wednesday. In a very interesting exposition he told a full class room just what the justification for the wholesaler is in our economic structure and how N.R.A. codes affect their operation.
This morning Mr. Robert Fite of the Florida Power & Light Company will speak to the Public Utilities class at 12:30 in rooms 218 on “Rate Structures” a subject that has caused much local controversy and is now being considered by the Miami City Commission in the light of a possible realignment of commercial and household rates. This talk should be one of the most interesting of the whole series which will extend through the next two or three weeks. Other speakers and their (Continued on Page Three)
At a special convocation called yesterday morning in the auditorium Roger Babson, noted economist and statistician, addressed the student body. The program was opened by the University band under the direction of Charles Staltman; Dr. Ashe made a brief announcement, and Dr. Holdsworth introduced Mr. Babson.
Mr. Babson chose as his subject “The four important days of your life,” The first important day is the day when we choose our parents and therefore the day when we choose our hereditary defects and desirable characteristics. The second is the day when we choose our life work. Life work, Mr. Babson said, is independent of sex. Six months ago there were 5 million more women in industry than there were before the war. Mr. Babson would relieve the present situation by placing the unemployed men in the kitchen to take the place of the newly employed women. He cited six fields of vocation to choose from, agriculture, professional, mechanical, promotional, temperamental, and financial. In his experience he has met only one person whom he has been unable to place in one of these, this man is the one who holds the all time record as having been the youngest graduate of Harvard College.
Selecting the life mate is the third most important decision. Before very long, Mr. Babson predicted, courses in practical biology will be offered in every University. A University education, he said, is in the last analysis, a training of judgment. The successful man is one who is able to say “yes” and “no” at the right time.
In closing Mr. Babson cited the relation that should exist between the University and the business men of Miami. Miami business men insure themselves against everything but future personnel and their relation to the University should be an insurance against that. The future of Miami, he said, depends on keeping the Florida youth in Florida. The fourth important decision the student makes is the decision regarding his attitude toward his alma mater.
Cuban Magazine Publishes Story On IL of Miami
Pan American Celebration Is Subject of Article In “Carteles”
In a recent issue of the “Car-teles”, popular Cuban magazine, the University of Miami was given a full page story as a result of its Pan American Day celebration. The editor of the magazine, Alfredo Quilez, was in Miami at the time of the celebration and was much impressed by the attitude of the University’s student body. Alejandro Quilez, associate editor of “Carteles” is in Miami at the present time and is scheduled to lecture to the Latin American Diplomacy class on the “Platt Amendment.”
Mr. Belaunde, who was chairman of the Pan American Day program has received a number of complimentary letters from persons of national and international prominence concerning the program. Notable among these are those from Josephus Daniels, U. S. ambassador to Mexico, L. S. Rowe, director general of the Pan American Union, and Heloise Brainerd, also of the Pan American Union.
