True there are SU1 umber of courses that one is 3 "uired to take but certainly no r6ilellion should be raised on this reD It mUst be remembered that those'who make up the curriculum [ J study and designate courses as ° uired do so only because a f alth of experience has taught ¡Tern the necessity of including ¡certain courses of study in a col-ilege education and that the av-Lrage student cannot be relied upon to elect these subjects.
The theory that a college education is a short-cut method to attaining wealth has long been exploded.
; A college education should serve as a stimulus toward further study after we are no longer under the ' discipline of the classroom; it should serve as a stimulus toward the further attainment of cultural knowledge. It is with these thoughts in mind that we should choose our course of study on registration day.
A note of thanks is due the
Lucky Strike Cigarette Company for the Saturday afternoon operatic broadcasts they have sponsored. The programs which begin at 1:50 p. m. have enabled the American public to hear the productions of the Metropolitan Opera Company with such talented artists as Lawrence Tibbetts, Giovanni Martinelli, Queena Mario, Max Lorenz, Lucretia Borgi, Lily Pons, and John Charles Thomas. A representative program is that of last Saturday when Leoncaval-li’s tragic masterpiece “II Pagliac ci” and Richard Strauss’ “Salome’ were presented. Between the two operas there was an interesting interview with John Charles Thomas giving an intimate insight into his personal life. Tomorrow Deems Taylor’s “Peter Ibbetsen” will be given. Milton J. Cross, who announces the program, gives brief summaries of the operas for the benefit of those not intimately acquainted with them.
I Such programs as these are
Worthy of high commendation. If phey are able to instill in the av-prage citizen an appreciation of K^l art their primary purpose will Ee reabzed. No college student,
Vent
on increasing his cultural
‘knowledge, should miss a single
Pr°gram.

University Players In Last Of Series Of School Dramas

Cape Sable Region Proves Interesting But Rough To Pioneers
By Howard J. Hine
A mere eighty-five miles, about half of which is Florida’s roughest road, is all that lies between the University of Miami and the very end of the mainland of the United States. Its name — Cape Sable.
To all of you who have a yearning to do some real pioneering and to encounter all the attributes of pioneering, the Cape Sable country is unequalled by any area of this state which can be approached in an automobile. Besides a great flat prairie, mangrove swamp, cypress swamp, everglades and the Gulf of Mexico’s beach, there is real tropical jungle teeming with all its native wild life and cut by streams where alligators and probably a few crocodiles still abound in normal or near normal numbers.
To get to this virgin area one must proceed south to Royal Palm State Park and take the rock road
The University Players will give the last in their series of plays under the auspices of the University dramatic department next Thursday evening at the Coral Gables Elementary School. “Merton of the Movies”, comedy success of George S. Koffman and Mark Connelly, has been chosen as the final production.
Opal Euard Motter will direct the play with Franklin Harris as managing director. Andrew Shaw will play the leading role, that of Merton Gill. The Montague girl will be played by Dorothy May Buddington. James Neary who made a real hit in his character interpretation of Jeckyl and Hyde will play two roles, Elmer Huff and J. Lester Montague. Amos G. Gashweiler will be portrayed by William Lingenfelter, Tessy Kearns by Elinor Miksitz, Sigmond Rosenblatt by James Parrott, and Jeff Baird by Victor Levine. Others in the cast include Frank Fitch as the camera man, Ellen Schumate, casting director, James Mool as Weller, Richard Meyer as Harold Parmelee, Ruth Lutz as Beulah Baxter, Edith Herlong as Muriel Mercer, and Helen Schenk as Mrs. Patterson.
The University Concert Orchestra under the direction of Walter Scheaffer will offer a program between acts. The dramatic department under the capable direction of Mrs. Motter has made fine strides this year and this last production may be counted upon to reach the standards of its predecessors.
that runs southwest beside a canal beyond the park. At the best this is a mere trail that runs along on top of the jagged limestone thrown up by the dredge. Rains have eaten great ruts in it and left the sharpest rock on top ready to bite off their quota of tires. In the canal is water of unusual clearness well-stocked with black bass many of which are well over the eleven inch length and which can be enticed to fight for tree toads or large grasshoppers. Snakes, especially banded water snakes, are everywhere. Garfish, the enemy of all game fish, are scarce and this is probably due to the large population of useful snakes. The beauty of shape and movement of these reptiles is seldom appreciated.
For about twenty miles the road is built in a southwesterly direction and gets rougher. At the end of this stretch is a curve to a west southwest direction and the coral rock is replaced by grey clay several feet thick. The road gets rougher but from here on it is not so hard on tires. Here also, the
