an(j universities is constant tation against the R. 0. T. C. Unfortunately students at the University of Miami are immune to the major portions of campus stress and consequently are prone to acquaint themselves with situations at our contemporaries. During the past few years agitation against compulsary military drill has arisen in several different forms, notable through pacifist organizations, demonstrations, and literature of a radical nature. The pacifist organizations have in the main part been shields for the ultimate abolition of military training and have been resorted to radicalism heretofore unheard of on American campuses. Perhaps this new trend in college activities is a direct result of an economic condition which is willing to resort to any means of recovery and consequently will listen with faint hope to the most radical of schemes. We need not fear this advent of new thought too greatly for with the return of prosperity, history shows us, radicalism will once more resume its position of the scorned.
It is at once good and ill that these new conditions bring. It is certainly a good thing to make the college student think for himself, to make him an individual rather than a sheep in a collegiate herd. However it is not a good thing to have the college man facing a world with the firm intention of changing it to fit himself. No one should taste the extreme bitterness of disillusionments and consequently adopt the extreme in cynicism at the beginning, so to speak, of their lives.
In the writer’s opinion, however, * e good here outweighs the evil, 01 bore lies the real secret of education: a training in the art of mking for oneself and in the
hence the name Phi Mu fraternity.
NEWMAN CLUB HOLDS FIRST MEET TUESDAY
The Newman Club of the University of Miami held its first meeting of the year in the Social Hall of the University of Miami Tuesday night. Father Sullivan, Pastor of Gesu, was the guest speaker of the evening and presented a most interesting and inspiring objective and plan to which the Club should work. From his fund of experience in years of teaching and as president of Loyola University in New Orleans, Father Sullivan gave apt illustrations of the manner in which interest could be awakened in the members of the Club to live topics which are being brought to the fore today by the foremost leaders in the different fields. Humanism was given as an example of one of these.
Mrs. Thomas Grady was present and reiterated her promise to the Club of last year that she was going to give them a party, as soon as a convenient date could be arranged.
Father Comber, Chaplain of the Club addressed the meeting shortly before the adjournment.
The next meeting will be held November 21, the place and time will be announced later.
Schaeffer and Band Give Music Program In Assembly
An assembly devoted to music by the University Band was held in the Theatre Friday noon. Mary Louise Dorn opened the meeting with announcements concerning the time for assemblies in the future. The first Friday “Ifr-every month will be devoted to organization meetings. The third Friday in the month will be turned over to class meetings, and on every second and fourth Friday there will be an official assembly program.
The meeting was then turned over to Mr. Schaeffer and the band who played a program of classical music and marches.

In this Miss Claire’s article was like a thousand others which I have read, and it is from this angle only that I wish to appeal.
Poetry has not always been so regarded. In the great periods of the civilizations of the world poetry and poets have been accorded the position of dignity and repect which their place as spokesmen for the best in any civilization deserves. In the great days of ancient Arabia the flowering of a poet was the signal for tribal feasting and rejoicing. In China under the T’ang Dynasty—a period of brilliance which has never been surpassed in any country and any time—the poet was heaped with honors. I think myself the Chinese went too far, because the fact that a man is a fine poet is really no reason why he should make a good official, governor of a province for instance. But such was the fact. We all know that Eliza-(Please turn to page six)
pears an article entitled “Suggested changes in the judiciary article of the Florida constitution.”
The objects of this contest are to set forth on foot a much needed movement for revision of our antiquated judiciary processes. Besides being a laudable undertaking in itself, this would seem to be an ideal opportunity for every student in the Law School to ascertain for himself his ability to appreciate adjective law.
There will be a prize of fifty dollars offered for the best essay submitted by a University of Miami student on either of the two subjects named above. Similar contests have been opened at both the University of Florida in Gainesville, and John B. Stetson University at Deland, Florida.

CLAIRE REVEALS SECRETS ON
BEING THE LIFE OF THE PARTY
By KET CLAIRE
HOW TO BE A TOPIC OF CONVERSATION.
Lesson No. 1
Not everyone has to bury himself in a corner . . . eating pumpkin pie. No . . . take your pie over to the big table and say something astounding. For instance, you might knock them over with, “Does anyone here know how to baste?” And if someone knows how to baste, you might offer her your pie and stroll away to another table. Ten times out of eleven, nobody will know how to baste. So you need not worry, if you like pumpkin pie.
This calls for a drink. If there is rye in the house, ask for gin, and vice versa. Ordinarily, everyone will rush out to order what you wish, but in case the unexpected happens, bring your own com likker. Don’t slop the liquid down your throat as is usually
done in like instances . . . Ask for an open white lily. When you have procured the lily, proceed to pull out the things in the middle. There you have a very original and beautiful cup from which to drink your West Virginia nectar. If, by this time, no body has halted your actions, you can be sure that a spy is around, gathering data. This will make you very happy.
The next step is to fall out of love. Everyone who is doing something important must learn that you are disillusioned. If someone is snoozing, wake him up with the sad news. If a group of people are deep in conversation, tell them that life is not worth living. This will probably be received with great eagerness and consideration. If the unexpected has happened, that is, if you are booted somewher or other, it might pay to (Please turn to page six)
mality prevails, that even if you were a complete stranger you can’t fell ill at ease.
The programs are excellent. Last week Louis Ely played a Prelude and Allegro of Pugnani, and Tambourine Chinois of Kreis-ler. He plays with much enjoyment and freedom and has certain things about his personality that come out in his music, making him a good violinist.
Then a rather interesting thing was played by an unusual combination of instruments: “Bird in the Forest,” by Doppler. There were four French horns, (a very difficult instrument to play is the French horn) played by William Lebedeff, Sam Weiss, Tom Bailey, and Afred Wright, which formed a harmonious background to the flute part played by Chas. Staltman
Rudolf Kramer played a ’cello arangement of Wagner’s “Song to Evening Star,” from Tannhäuser; and Warner Hardman with Hannah Asher doing the second piano part, played the G Minor Concerto of Saint-Saëns. It is a difficult concerto and Hardman has such splendid technique and ease when he plays, that it was very fine.
Any University students truly interested in music are allowed to attend these meetings; especially those who are studying some in-sterument. There are so few opportunities to hear good music that those who do love it will do well to come to the Conservatory every other Friday.
