As to lack of training, this is a defect whose sole remedy will only be found with the advent of journalism classes in the regular curriculum.

Golfer’s Dream Comes True With U. of M, Match
Biltmore Course Pleases Lynch, Who Trounces Sid Carson 6-4
Zeta Carnival Will Be Event Of Next Week
Ten Local Clubs Participate; Queen To Be Crowned; Contest Held
“Frankly, the chance to play the Miami Biltmore course is a dream coming true. Visiting pro’s to my home course told me as a youngster about this nationally known layout, said Joe Lynch before teeing off Monday in the George-town-Miami golf match. And this serious minded young golfer, Georgetown’s hope for the ’34 intercollegiate crown, proceeded to tour the Biltmore course in one over par defeating Sid Carson six and four to score the first win in the one-sided defeat administered to the Miami golf team by Georgetown. Lynch and Captain Tynan teamed to defeat Carson and George Chubb four and three in the best ball count.
Chubb, two up with three holes to play, seemed a sure winner in his match with Walter Tynan but lost the last three holes dropping the match by a one stroke margin.
In the second foursome Don O’Brien, Maryland Junior champion, duplciated Lynch’s efforts by shooting even par for fifteen holes defeating John Slocum seven and six. Slocum played O’Brien even for five holes and on the fifth hole played one of the finest shots of the day. Bunkered at the fifth green Slocum rimmed the cup with his recovery shot from the trap and tied his match with O’Brien. Then O’Brien went on to score three birdies in succession and finished the match on the twelfth hole.
Joe O’Day, playing fourth man, was shut out by Dick McPartlin in six and four. O’Day playing a good long game was the victim of ragged work on the greens. O’Brien and McPartlin won their best-ball match seven and six.

Dr. John C. Gifford, professor of tropical forestry was recently elected president of the Florida Botanical Garden and Arboretum Association at a meeting held recently at Sebring. The association is engaged at the present time in developing Highland Hammock, a plot near Sebring, into a notable state park.
Dr. Gifford is one of the oldest graduate foresters in the country, and formerly was a special agent of the department of agriculture in Puerto Rico. He was professor in the first college of forestry at Ithaca, N. Y., and founded the first magazine devoted to the subject. He also is author of several books on forestry, the latest being “Subsistence Homesteads for the Antillean Area,” which is in transit from the press in Clinton, Mass., and will be distributed through the University of Miami bookstore.
Dr. Gifford graduated in forest economy in Germany and for 35 years has attempted to apply forestry principles to tropical conditions. He has 100 students in his classes at the university.
Under the capable direction of James Koger, editor, work on the Yearbook for 1934 is progressing very satisfactorily. Indications of an excellent book are becoming evident as the work progresses.
The board voted yesterday in favor of the bid submitted by the Service Engraving Company located in the Herald building. The business management and advertising department is confident of swelling the Yearbook fund sufficiently to make a 150 page book possible. To do this however, in-'volves considerable work and difficulty in view of the low price at which students are purchasing it. Students of other colleges usually pay from two-fifty up.
The photograph department, under the direction of Jack Sloan, has a good percentage of its work already accomplished. Nearly all of the senior pictures are in and practically all of the groups have been taken. There were a greater number of both this year than formerly.
Rita Gillespie has accumulated a great volume of statistics, especially for the organization pages and Nedra Brown is in charge of the literary work. Jack Daly and John Allen of the advertising de partment have turned in a goodly volume of advertising and expect to double the amount within the next two weeks. Koger is ably assisted by Ellis Sloan and Pat Cesarano.
Marcia Mulloy and Dutch Bierkamper will lead the grand march the Junior Prom which is to be given at the Miami Biltmore Country Club tonight. Miss Mulloy and Mr. Bierkamper, president of the Junior Class will be followed by Tommy Thompson, chairman of the Prom, officers of the Junior and Senior classes, prom committee and guests. Favors will be presented at midnight during the grand march.
The black and white tropical formal will honor the seniors at the University. The affair is an annual event given by the Junior Class. Manny Gates and his orchestra will furnish music for dancing in the spacious ballroom and on the terrace.
Many reservations have been made by fraternal organizations for the success of this dance. Decorations will be carried out in black and white and a tropical motif. Tickets are two dollars a couple. A loving cup will be presented to the sorority selling the greatest number of tickets.
The committee in charge includes Mr. Thompson, chairman, Ruth Lutz, Doris Glendening, James Mool, and Mel Cohen.
