Hauptmann Stays On Crime Takes a Holiday
Trans-Atlantic Air Mail
Hauptmann was sentesced to die
in the electric chair in the week of jlarch 18, but a stay of execution was indicated by the appellate action. Hauptmann will now remain for at least seven months, with possible further delay. We wonder now whether the death sentence that seemed so positive and inevitable will really be realized after all? Hauptmann won his appeal to the higher court which is his first victory—who knows but that others may follow? When a case is taken to the higher court, the defendant usually pays the cost of printing the record of the case for the higher court, but an exception has been made in Haupt-man’s case, and Hunterdon county is standing the expense. How does this strike you?
The heading “Crime Takes a Rest in New York City,” was noticed in a local newspaper. The article stated that the city marked up twenty-four hours without one major crime. Assistant Chief Inspector John J. Sullivan stated they haven’t had any such peace for over two years. This is slightly funny when read, but really is a dreadful situation. Do you realize that it was considered remarkable that in twenty-four hours not one major crime had been committed? They did not say merely a crime, evidently there were a few of those, but a MAJOR crime. Is this world of ours progressing? Imagine its being an exceptional event that in just one day not one crime had been committed in just one city. I bow my head in shame for the country.
Plans are being made to establish an airmail service between the United States. This should begin in about a year. When this service does go into effect, passenger planes are certain to follow. What remarkable strides lorward this method of transportation and communication has made!
What remarkable advantages are open to the students of the University of Miami, especially this week. For the literal and cultural minded there is the Winter Institute, rich in its information and interesting in its variety. Uor those interested in national affairs of the day, there was the splendid debate given by the debating teams of the University of Pennsylvania and the University °f Miami. And then for those interested in international affairs, we have ‘ The Pan American Fo-ium, which is a series of ten lectures, having each speaker give two lectures. At the end of the speaker’s second lecture, an open forum is held, and, though not jttyself in attendance, it is be-ieved that these go far far into
the night.
Here we have vax-ious facilities °Pen to the various states, and ®Urely every student is able to ,lnd one of these suitable to his mterests and avail himself of the °PPortunity offered. The disad-(Continued from page one) vantage of having worth-while (Please turn to page two)

“Gates of Paradise”
I s Scheduled For Thursday, March 14
The date for the presentation of the “Gates of Paradise” has been definitely set for March 14. At this time Cloyd Head’s drama will be seen from a stage for the first time.
The play has been completely cast, and rehearsals are underway. At the present time, however, rehearsals are handicapped due to the use of the stage by the various lecture periods. This production requires elaborate costumes and scenery, both of which are now being designed.
The play, written by the director himself, Mr. Cloyd Head, is anticipated with much interest, both for the distinction of being its first presentation on the stage, and for the finely assembled cast it includes.
An unusual event was instituted by the yearling class of the University Saturday night which consisted of a combination musical revue and dance. The affair was conceived and ox-ganized by Jex-x-y Zuman who was the genex-al chairman.
In th execution of the show Zuman was given able assitance by vax-ious members of the university. Joe Panker and Victor Levine acted in the capacity of masters of ceremonies.
The revue was favox-ably received by the large audience who were px-esent and gave vent to their ap-px-eciation by demanding many encores.
Dancing in the patio followed the show with Bob Reinert’s M;-amilodians fuxmishing the music.
Members of the committee besides Zuman were: Miss Jean Joseph, publicity; Bob Wente, dance chaiirnan; Miss Judith Dupree, Daisy Wood, and Ruth Atkinson, as assistants.
George Lobdell handled the tickets and all finances. ,
Proceeds from the event will be given to the fi'osh football team for the purchase of sweaters that are to be presented in the near future.

Dr. Maestri is now the Secretary of the Cuban Embassy in Washington and as such is es-pecally well nformed on the subject on whch he is going to lecture.
