(¡Friday night the Junior class ¡11 give the outstanding social affair of the school year. The Junior Prom is given as a compliment to the graduates of this year and as such should draw the attendance L eVery student at the University. Arrangements are under the charge Tommy Thompson and Tommy has done an excellent job of preparing a program that we will all remember as associated with the finest of university social affairs.
It is very discouraging to hear students complain about paying the nominal sum which is being charged for admission, especially so when one considers that dances of this same quality at any other school would cost as much as five times this amount and the students, who are no better off financially, support the affairs one-hundred percent. Certainly there should be enough spirit in the student body to stimulate them to give up, if necessary, some of their private and small clique social affairs so that they might attend one at which they are given the opportunity to mingle with the entire student body.
C And while on the subject of dances it is well to recall the Athletic Benefit Dance of last week. Ihe dance, although attended by only a comparatively few, was one °f the finest of the year. This was n°t due to any lavish out-put of w°ney for decorations or enter-i ainment, for there was none, but Ue to the fact that a general feeing comeradie pervaded the a Pendants. It was a feeling which e them enter contests which n si normal conditions they oud probably look upon as too ut%nified. It was a feeling that
The Pi Delta Sigma Fraternity took the first step in the movement for a state-wide organization last Saturday when they estab-hshed a chapter at the University of Florida, at Gainesville. Pi Delta Sigma was founded at the University of Miami, in 1928 by a group enrolled in the School of Architecture. In 1931 when the school was abolished many of its members transferred to the University of Floiida and it was these men who will make up the nucleus of the Florida Chapter, which has the highest scholastic rating on their campus.
Members of the Florida Chapter who formerly attended the Uni-ver of Miami are: Johnny Morrison, Bill O’Brion, Clifford Gret-ham, and Clyde Atkins.
The newly formed chapter got off to a fine start with the initiation of 18 new members, who together with the 5 already active members there makes a chapter of 23. The Florida Chapter in maintaining temporary headquarters at 1974 Hernando Street, but have completed arrangements for purchasing a house. This objective it is believed will be one of the leading factors in tying the group together and enabling them to leave something expressive of their work and efforts.
The movement for state-wide fraternity organization is a field which has long been vacant in Florida and it is believed that with the contacts that have been made at Stetson, Southern, Rollins, and Tampa, that Chapters will soon be established at these institutions.
The degree team who made the trip from Miami are: Everett Burdick, Jimmie Mool, Dante Facell, Frank Strahan. Charles Luehl. Mr. Burdick, president of the Miami Chapter, said on his return from Gainesville, “The members of the Florida Chapter are some of the finest men I have ever known, and with the fine organization they have worked out I’m sure that before long they will be leaders in the other fields as they now lead in the scholastic field. There is a high spirit of enthusiasm and cooperation which points toward concentration of effort on the principal objectives of the group, which will surely enable them to surmount any obstacle in their way.
The officers of the newly formed Chapter are: Clifford Grethan, president; Fred C. Frehock, vice-president; Charles H. Collier, sec-

The University of Miami will celebrate annual Pan American Day this coming Friday, April 13, instead of April 14, the date set aside by ex-president Hoover in a proclamation four years ago. Arrangements are in charge of Rafael Belaunde Jr. and plans for an elaborate celebration are developing.
A special committee of students to assist Mr. Belaunde is being considered by Dr. Ashe. If formed, this committee will cooperate with the Greater Miami Pan American League in making this year’s program one of the best ever.
The purpose of Pan American Day is to promote cultural and commercial relations between the twenty-one republics of the south and the United States, also, to unite in common defense against aggressive nations of the world, if necessary.

Four University of Miami Wrestlers Triumph in State Title Tourney
In the first elimination rounds of the state A.A.U. championship wrestling tournament at St. Augustine Thursday night the University of Miami gained an advantage by taking four bouts.
The University of Florida captured three events and the St. Augustine Y.M.C.A. and Gainesville one each.
Four elimination bouts this morning and 14 in the finals tonight will complete the tournament;
James Abras won the first bout by a fall in 1:50, from W. Norwood, U. of F.
E. W. Sudlow won a fall from R. E. Warren, U. of F., in 5:40.
George Lowd, defending champion, won a fall from Talmadge Bennett, St. Augustine Y.M.C.A., in 6 minutes.

The first photographs ever made of a class on the bottom of the sea were made last Saturday on the ocean floor between Cape Florida and Soldier Key by newsreel and under-water cameramen. Dr. Pearson’s new class in marine zoology was the subject.
Captain Bill’s auxiliary schooner took the students on their first field trip accompanied by Dr. Pearson and Mr. Miller. The low deck of the boat was convenient for a diving	station	and	over twelve
diving	helmets	and	pumps	were
taken on the trip.
An iron table and several chairs were lowered over the side of the boat, after a good collecting spot had been located, and Dr. Pearson and a	group	of students	went
down.	Cameraman	Frank	Bell,
whose camera was built in an underwater adapter with a photoflash light, descended and photographed the class in action. Specimens were collected by the students and brought to the underwater table and placed upon it to observe their natural movements.
The newsreel camermen followed the zoologists to their collecting grounds on another yacht. The pictures taken will probably be shown all over America. The publicity trip was sponsored by Mr. Hamilton Wright.
The Junior Prom, most outstanding social affair of the University will be given Friday evening at the Miami Biltmore Country Club. The social light is being focused on this black and white tropical formal. Mannie Gates’ orchestra will provide music for dancing in the ballroom of the club and on the lighted terrace.

New York, N. Y. (NSFA)—Announcement has just been made by International Student Service of a Conference of Student Journalists, to take place from July 11th to 21st in Geneva, Switzerland.

The conference will hear prominent journalists on such subjects as: The Press and the League of Nations, The Sending of False News, The Great Press Agencies, The Informatory Press and the Opinionated Press.
“Students in the United States are becoming interested in national and international affairs”, International Student Service believes. “The vast majority of them, like the rest of the population, are dependent upon newspapers for information on the events of the world. International Student Service is keenly interested in the effect of newspaper reporting on public opinion especially with relation to national and international affairs. In order to provide an opportunity for college and university students to get an idea of the effect of the reporting of political events on the relations between nations. I.S.S. in cooperation with the National Student Federation and the Open Road is planning a tour of journalism stu-(Continued on Page Four)
