Consideration Needed nt0 Smoking Successful Carnival
Wednesday the University of
giami will be host to many people who are interested in our University and want to see just what we are accomplishing. Programs have been arranged in the form 0f entertainment, such as band concerts, a play by the University Players, a program by the University singers, boxing and wrestling exhibitions, and dancing-in the girls’ gymnasium. In addition, all class rooms will be open so that any one who wishes to may audit the various lectures throughout the day. There will be several addresses by various professors of the school. The Girls’ Dormitory will also be open for inspection. In short, everything that is a part of our University will be thrown open for public inspection. To those who come we extend a sincere welcome. May they view us critically but fairly.
Shamefully I include _here (shamefully, because I am part of the student body, and so bear their shame) a request that more consideration be shown actors who perform here at this University for your entertainment. No one is compelled to attend a university production — a play is solely a form of entertainment and those who attend it come to be entertained. It is therefore strange that the audience would allow themselves to hinder those who are entertaining them—make then-presentation inferior to what it would be — by the thoughtless, and inconsiderate actions they (the audience) are guilty of. The noise and disturbance that was made at the performance of the “Cat and the Canary” (good in spite of the audience) last week was unforgive-able and must cease. Either the conduct must be improved, or it would be better to withhold your presence from the auditorium. It is only from the point of view of the actor that I speak, and to the pride of the student that I appeal.
It has been learned that to smoke m the auditorium is against the lire laws, therefore all students aie asked to refrain from smok-ln£ in the auditorium on any and every occasion.
Successful was the Zeta Phi Carnival, and rightly so. These People worked hard, and they deserved their success. This is an annual affair in the University and after attending one, it is easy 0 understand how it would be. It ls splendid to note the cooperation "J® this, organization by all ?, ei sororities and fraternities on the campus.

DEAN OF WOMEN KEPT BUSY WITH STUDENT WORRIES
No Closed Season for Problems, Emergencies Constantly Arising
By Mary B. Merritt
A busy Dean of Women was once introduced as a Dizzy Bean. If that happened at the end of the day, no doubt she was dizzy and entirely indifferent as to whether she was a bean or a dean.
An oft-quoted saying is that man works from sun to sun, but woman’s work is never done.” Certainly, the work of a Dean of Women is never done. There is no closed season for social and academic problems; there is no prearranged schedule that can be followed hour by hour, for emergencies are constantly (demanding immediate attention.
The office is open from eight in the morrning until four in the (Please turn to page two)

“We Feel Ourselves Quite Definitely Established,” West Says
By Henry S. West j To those of us who have been ;with the University of Miami since jits beginning in 1926 this University Day of 1935 brings reflections upon the contrast between our conditions today and the situation we faced just nine years ago. Then we were a new and entirely unknown institution, and we were burdened with a heavy indebtedness that had fallen upon us with the collapse of the Florida boom and the cruel destruction left in the wake of the big hurricane. Then too we had yet to make our way into the circle of established and accredited colleges; and we were only in the process of work-(Please turn to page two)

Stresses Value of Orientation Work Before Choosing Vocation
By John Thom Holdsworth
This school is technical or professional in its purposes, yet like most other technical schools it includes or presupposes a broad cultural background.
Indeed, for the most part its curriculum parallels rather closely that of the liberal arts college or the prescientific school. Without much loss of effort or academic credit a student may transfer from one school to another at the end of his first or second year. This interchangeability has definite merit in that it gives the freshman opportunity to try his intellectual muscles and interests in several different fields before (Please turn to page two)

Newman Club to Hold Meeting Tuesday Nite
The Newman Club will hold its first meeting of the Spring Term tomorrow evening at 8 o’clock in the Social Hall of the University.
The club has not been active in the earlier terms of this year due principally to numerous activities on the campus which conflicted with the twice monthly meetings of the organization. At the meeting tomorrow night, therefore, it will be necessary to take up matters of business which have been deferred until this time, among which is the election of officers for the coming year.
All Catholics who are members of the club are urgently requested to be present, and an invitation is extended to all other Catholics in the University, particularly to the new students entering this year who have not had an opportunity to acquire membership and become acquainted with the club and its members.
Presentation of Practical Knowledge is Aim
Bv Russell A. Rasco The Law School of the University of Miami began with a very strong faculty under the guidance of the late Dean Richmond A. Rasco who had had more than twenty years of teaching and administration in other law schools in Florida and other states. Because of this reputation and experience, the law school was immediately recognized by the Supreme Court of the State of Florida and its graduates have always been admitted to practice in all the Courts of the State of Florida without examination.
Modern methods of teaching, courses and books have always been used in school and the courses and methods of instruction have been approved by the American Association of Law Schools. How-( Please turn to page three)

e while eating—the food had a ne* flavor.
By Dr. Juan Zamora
The two distinctive features in the Latin American Department this year have been the presence of a large number of Cuban students, and the series of lectures offered by the Pan-American Forum.
Most of the Cuban students have come to the University on scholarships offered to them in pursuance of a policy of exchange with Latin America. Their presence here has had two highly pro-
fitable results. It has served to , make them acquainted with th | higher ideals of American life,; as embodied in the teachings
the University; with the far reaching result that, upon then-return to their native country, they will bear proof of the sincere friendship and good will of the students of America. And it has also served to afford the American students an opportunity to come in touch with the opinions and ideas of the Latins, not through books or references, but by direct intercourse with them, which is, after all, the only effective way of really appreciating and understanding them.
This last purpose has been still better fulfilled by the series of (Please turn to page two)
