dance.
The Ibis staff has been organized,
assignments made and all indications point to a bigger and better yearbook for 1934. A new plan has been evolved this year, that of a managing board to act in an advisory capacity to the editorial staff and thus assure an unpred-judiced publication.
The dramatic department is winding up its year’s work in splendid fashion. Only two productions remain, that of “Tillie” and “Merton of the Movies”. The last presentation “It Did the Trick” awakened a good deal of interest in Miami residents. The local papers - carried favorable articles concern-2V ing the play and the attendance * was good as far as residents are concerned. It is evident from at-— tendance percentages that these “outsiders” appreciate the University Players’ work far more than do the University students. There is yet time to show the Players that the student body is really behind them. Let’s all be present Tuesday at the Elementary school.

There is a new vogue invading
American campi with an increasing intensity. Namely, the forming of Pacifist clubs. They have been instrumental in guiding much student thought and their real value deserves investigation.
1 Ohio State University is one of the more recent recruits to this group and we may judge the majority of these organizations by the Policies of it. The “Ohio State University Peace News” stated the ^Purpose of the Pacifist Club as being “a study of war and its causes in an effort to approach | realistically the problems of peace ¡AVork,” in a recent editorial the | Peace News” began campaigning against compulsory military drill.
ere seems to lie the real object 0 these organizations, few of them fr<~ sincere or foolish enough to e ieve that they will be instru-ttental in abolishing war yet they ■ their organizations as a screen ° rid themselves of an hour a day ?, really valuable training. More an °nce it has been proven that reparedness is the best preventa-Pve against war.
^ith no regard toward the na-L?nal value of the R. 0. T. C. we s lg. b sight numerous advantages c as character building that the mPulsory military training gives therlnC^V^Ua^ c°He£e student. Yet w6re still remain parasites that tee?- abolish it under the pro-10n °T a pacifist club shield.
Jesse M. Bater, distinguished religious leader, addressed the student body at an assembly held yesterday morning. Dr. Bater is secretary of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. He toured Florida recently with Roger Babson and at the invitation of Dr. Smith returned to Miami he is speaking each evening at Bayfront Park.
In his address to the student body he brought out the necessity of developing character in the youth of today. He said that the greatest crisis of today is that of character, the remedy for which is “found in institutions like this one here”. A new philosophy of life must be evolved, that of “give” and not “get”. Education should be adopted to give society fine individuals whose interest are vested in the community welfare. In closing Dr. Bater made a plea that we link ourselves with some religious organization and know the Bible.
Dr. Bater was introduced by Dr. Everett S. Smith who also led the invocation. Pat Cesarano was chariman. Delightful interludes were given by the University band with Charles Staltman as student conductor.
Travis Lee Harris accompanied by Eloise King played a violin solo, “Gypsy Song”. A short skit was presented by James Neary, Nedra Brown, and James Parrott. The skit was a Jeckyl and Hyde adaptation and Mr. Neary proved himself a rival to Fredric March’s fame. The announcement by Dr. Ashe that Monday, March 26, will be a holiday met with the approval of all attending. The convocation ended with the singing of the “Spirit of Miami U”.
At a meeting of the Annual Board held yesterday the contract for photography was let to the Coral Gables Photo Service, Mr. Harry Pilkington, owner. Seniors will begin having their pictures taken Monday and the taking of group pictures will begin a week from Monday according to Stuart Patton, chairman of the board.
Work in all departments of the annual has been progressing satisfactorily and Jimmy Roger, editor, is pleased with the cooperation shown by staff members. Jack Daly, advertising manager, has begun an active campaign for advertising and is being assisted by John Allen. Daly has requested that any students interested in this type of work will receive worthwhile commissions and should report to him as soon as possible.
Contracts for printing and engraving of the book will probably be let next week. At the present time the business staff is securing bids on 150 pages. Whe.her or not the income will permit a book of this size in addition to the high quality desired remains to be seen. It is expected that the book will have at least 130 pages and high quality paper, binding and cover will be used.
Rita Gillespie has requested that all seniors secure an activity blank from her and fill in and return it as soon as possible. Seniors are urged to make appointments for having their photographs made next week without fail.
SENIORS NOTICE
All seniors are requested to make appointments for photographs sometime next week at the Coral Gables Photo Service, Ponce de Leon boulevard and Alhambra Circle. The price will be one dollar payable at time of sitting. Delay on the part of seniors in this respect will delay work on the annual and may result in late photographs being left out.
Seniors: Make that appointment now!

The University is now giving employment to students who would otherwise be unable to remain in school because of financial difficulties. This assistance has been made possible as a part of the Civic Works Administration’s program, which has arranged to provide the school with funds sufficient to give part-time employment to a percentage of the school enrollment. New projects have been created by which the students may obtain work. Dr. J. S. W. Pearson has been appointed administrator of the C.W.A. at the University.
Dr. Pearson and Mr. Miller are planning to have the workers construct a marine aquarium in the patio of the University where it will be possible for the members of the marine zoology class to study different species of marine life. Some students are cataloguing literature concerning marine animals and mosquitoes, while others are helping to establish a pro-
Nickel Three Cent Piece Passed In At Lunchroom
University Students In New Production At Gables School
Dramatic Version of Martin’s “Mennonite Maid”
To Be Mar. 13
The dramatic version of Helen R. Martin’s book, “Tillie—A Mennonite Maid”, will be given by the University Players Tuesday, March 13, at the Coral Gables Elementary School. Opal Euard Motter will direct the play.
The play is a story of the Mennonites better known as the Pennsylvania Dutch who settled in Germantown, Pennyslvania in 1683. The Mennonites are a religious sect who recognize no authority beyond the Bible. Today there are 50,000 followers of 16th Century Menno Simons. Of these 10,000 reside in Lancaster County, Pa. They are plain, pious folks, their chief industry is agriculture. They disown war, bar infant baptism, and wear “plain dress”. They have sent missionaries to India and South America and only recently to Africa. Misconduct is recognized only as sin and is punished in two ways by their church, “putting out of meeting”, and “setting back”. Tillie, the heroine, falls under the second of these punishments which means that she is ostracized by the sect and not allowed to have intercourse with any member of the church.
Mrs. Motter has chosen a very capable cast for this production. Nedra Brown will play Tillie, (Continued on Page Six)
PSYCHOLOGY GROUP GIVE LIBRARY BOOKS
Funds for Donation Obtained Through Student Investigations
A United States three cent piece made of nickel was passed in the lunchroom for a dime early this week. It bore the date 1881 and was in excellent condition. Two types of three cent pieces were made at U. S. mints in the ’70’s and ’80’s. One type was of silver and consequently very small and thin. The other, the type mentioned above, was never officially circulated.
jected bird-banding station at the University.
Dr. Gifford and Mr. Nelson are planning to develop a natural park in the Riviera Section of Coral Gables across from the Ponce de Leon High School, known as University Park. They are also preparing to relabel the ornamental planting of the streets of Coral Gables.
By means of these different types of work the students will be assisted in continuing their education, and the University itself will be beautified.
The psychology classes, under the sponsorship of Miss Georgia Mae Barrett, have presented twelve books on mental hygiene, child psychology and associated subjects to the University library.
Funds for the books have been obtained through investigations which the classes are making for Dr. Achilles, investigator in the psychology of advertising. From the remuneration received through their efforts in this field during the past year and other contributions these books have been purchased and are now on the shelves in the library. Orders are in now for several others, with hopes of considerably increasing the stock before the end of the year.
These investigations take the form of questionaires which the students, as the assistants, have townspeople fill out. A query, which was not one of the regular psychological questionaires but something in a lighter vein sent out as a feeler, attracted much interest here at school some time ago. One of the questions was whether or not girls prefer men who wear garters on their socks to those who do not, or whether it makes no difference. The results were decidedly in favor of the garters.
Dr. Achilles predicts from the results of the investigations which he has completed thus far that there will be a decided change in the whole scheme of advertising.
