“The Unexamined Life” Set for Philour’s A WS Lecture
Dr. Charles W. Philour, Jr., professor of Drama and Humanities, will address the UM student body on Wednesday, March 9, at 7:30 p.m. in the Flamingo Room of the Student Union. The doctor is speaking through the AWS Last Lecture Series.
The Last Lecture Series is a program which invites speakers to address an audience as if it were to be the last lecture the speaker would ever present. Dr. Philour has chosen to develop the question of “The Unexamined Life” in light of his experience and beliefs.
I)r. Philour came to UM in 1940, after receiving his AB at Carnegie Institute of Technology. His stay here was interrupted by a stint as navigator during WW II. Following his service he went to Iowa State for his doctoral studies.
As chief lecturer for Humanities 101 and 102, Dr. Philour has been able to introduce his ideas concerning the basic rules underlying the arts to great numbers of students. An exponent of “General Education,” the doctor was one of the men chiefly responsible for inaugurating the University College system at UM. He feels this method enables students to better understand the world they

Caldwell’s Experience Is His Best Source
"Experience, pleasant or unpleasant, is the author’s chief source of material,” author Ers-kine Caldwell told a UM audience Tuesday night in the Student Union. Caldwell was the eighth speaker in the USG lecture series.
“Creation equals the practical use of experience and imagination," related Caldwell, whose experiences range from restringing banjos in a Baltimore pawn shop to distributing his clothes to natives of Mongolia where he was allowed only 25 lbs. on a plane to Moscow and had to make a choice between 40 lbs. of suitcase and one beloved typewriter.
“Words put together have no meaning.” the author continued. “Unless the action and thought implied produce a story, all is purposeless and worthless.'
Caldwell’s formula for writing is comprised of equal parts of compulsion and talent, nurtured, he added, by favorable conditions, right phases of the moon, crossed fingers, and large amounts of luck.
“The less a person knows, the less he is willing to learn," he explained, "the more he knows, the more he wants to find out.” ronceming his formal education, Caldwell joked of being

“T o d a y, however,” he said, “there is much evidence of a healthy educational climate.”
DaveBurbeck Jazz Concert Next In Line
The Dave Brubeck Quartet will appear Saturday evening, March 12, beginning at 8:00 p.m. The concert will be held on the Student Union patio. This is a special presentation planned by Si Johnson, Secretary for Entertainment, as a part of the USG entertainment series.
The appearance of the Dave Brubeck Quartet, “renowned throughout the world of jazz,” on the UM campus signals one of the highlights of the entertainment series.
Although the concert will be sponsored by USG, it will be a fitting climax for Carni-Gras. During the concerts, the awards will be presented to the winners in the Carni-Gras competition.
The Brubeck concert will be presented free of charge to the students and faculty of the University.
Carni Gras will be presented from 7 p.m. to midnight March 10 and 11, on the Intramural Field this year. The annual UM festivity promises to be the best ever, according to Skip Webb, Carni Gras Committee chairman.
“This year more than 102 booths have been entered, making this j the largest turnout in Carni Gras history," said Layout Chairman Jim Fleming. He continues,
“Carni Gras will be located on the Intramurals field in a circular pattern which will facilitate access from fraternity housing, and parking areas.”
The circular midway is designed to give each organization an equal opportunity to draw its share of the crowd. Three rides, the “Skywheel,” the “Scrambler” and the “Twister,” will also be spread out to help draw crowds and to provide extra lighting.
Any organization encountering difficulties with their placement should contact the Layout Committee beginning tomorrow, March 5. Construction of booths may begin on this date. For information on position, contact Jim Fleming or Tim Woolsey at the Information Booth on the Intramurals Field or the Office of Student Activities on the second floor of the Student Union.
Ticket Booths will be positioned throughout the midway selling 5c. 10c, and 25c tickets. Cash will not be accepted at any booth.
Chairman Skip Webb stated, “It is hoped that the student body will take full advantage of the various amusements that are being provided for their enjoyment.” Proceeds from Carni Gras are used to supplement the Paul R. Yarck Memorial Fund, which will be used to construct a women's intramural field adjacent to the women’s residence halls.
Awards for the event wrill be given in two booth divisions and an overall division. The Green Division is for organizations entering only one booth, and the Orange Division is for those en-

Spurred by student protests, the Union Board Tuesday reversed its decision to allow Miami High School to present its prom on the patio.
The Board had originally decided to let Miami High in, but MRHA representative Dave Ferguson pointed out that the volume of noise that would reach Eaton Hall when men were trying to study for final exams would greatly disturb them.
Ferguson also recalled the delinquent behavior of a local high school club when their school was allowed the use of facilities, and asked the board members to reconsider the decision.
During the January 15 dance. University students were barred from the upper lounge area, and fights broke out when rival high school students arrived on the scene.
The incident involving the local high school boys resulted in the arrival of police dogs in the Union. The Coral Gables Police department sent four officers of the Canine Corps to supplement the three off-duty officers already present. Three UM security guards also were called into action.
Miss Lynn Tefft, nurse on duty at Doctor’s Hospital emergency room the night of the dance stated. “The police had well over 20 boys in their custody when they brought one boy here for
superficial wounds. The boy was treated and released into police custody.”
According to a reliable source inside the Coral Gables Police Department, one student arrested at that party has already been brought to trial and convicted.
The vote of protest, suggested by MRHA vice-president Skip Webb, is a two-point complaint; the prom would be held during exam week, thereby disturbing men studying, and a prom held in the Union by Miami High might end as did the party from their rival high school.
The Board has set up a series of rules and charges for the use of the Union by outside groups. The rules include plain-clothes police officers to he on duty inside the Union, more chaperones, requests for spare allocation to he sent from the principal or other responsible adult, a charge to he levied for the use of the Union.
The rate of charges is $400 for the Ibis Cafeteria, $250 for the patio, $21 for each section of the Flamingo Ballroom (of $75 for all three sections), and $10 for each of the meeting rooms on the second floor.
The Board decided to survey each of their organizations about public sentiment in regard to allowing high schools the use of the Union. The representatives will report next week.
