“College Education Most Vital To Man Who Enters Business,“ W. H. Marshall
PHI ALPHA BACKS NO CANDIDATES,” FRAT. PRESIDENT
Grant Harri. An.wtri O’Kell’. Accusation Concerning Student Politic.
Grant Harris, as spokesman for the Phi Alpha Fraternity has issued the following statement in rebuttal to George Okell’s claim that the Phi Alpha fraternity is promoting the Independent ticket because the candidate for president on the Independent slate is a member of the national organization which the Phi Alpha fraternity is petitioning:
“Mr. Okell seems to he deeply hurt by the failure of the Phi Alpha fraternity to unanimously endorse and support his candidacy (as yet, unofficial, but nevertheless in my opinion active) for the office of president of the student body.
“We realize this, and sympathize , with his desire to kick, figuratively speaking, the nearest object to offend his tear-blinded gaze. We cannot, however, even with all generosity, condone Mr. Okell’s naug. .. deviation from the truth of the facts in the case.
“To clarify the matter: Phi Alpha has at no time this year, in any meeting, formal or informal, officially or otherwise, promised or offered its support to any person or persons.so unfortunate as to he politically ambitious. We do not intend to lend ourselves to a prolonged newspaper controversy in the affair and sincerely trust that the petulant Mr. Okell will here after be a trifle more discreet in his amateur mud-slinging.”
Ibis to Give Personal
Write-ups to Seniors
With the Ibis staff working all day and most of the night the many features are well on the road to completion. With group and individual pictures taken and being prepared for the engravers the attention of the staff is being concentrated on statistical matter relative to the student body.
The promise of personal writeups for seniors will be kept but their co-operation must be forthcoming. By reporting at the Ibis office for a short interview much needless wasting of time will be eliminated. Due to the rapidly approaching dead-line every student must assist by turning in a list of activities at the Ibis office.
Organizations wishing pages may-still reserve space with Miss Mor-tensen or apply directly to the Ibis office. Those organizations wishing two pages will have the privilege of running pictures of rooms, houses and badges.
Pictures of the faculty have been eliminated from the 1931 Ibis and write-ups will be run in their place. This action was taken by the staff to render a more personal touch to the usually severe administration section.
Miss Erickson, women’s athletic director, stated that. beginning Monday there will be a series of interclass volleyball games in the nature of a tournament. There will be three freshman teams, two sophomore teams, one junior, and one senior team. The freshman colors are red and the sophomores’, green. The teams and the schedule are posted on the bulletin board.

Green’s Secretary
"If I had a son, I would tear heaven and earth apart to give him a college education,” states W. H. Marshall, .secretary to Colonel E.
H. R. Green. Col. Green, the son of Hettie Green, who in former days was one of the most colorful characters in financial circles, is himself a noted figure in the world of finance. Mr. Marshall has served in the capacity of secretary to Colonel Green for over twenty-years.
A university trained man has unheard opportunities within his reach, if he knows when and howto utilize them, is the opinion of Mr. Marshall. One way of grasping these opportunities is through a secretary-ship, as each year of this service adds to the value of the secretary not only for his employer but for himself. As his employer only gains his station through a broad outlook upon life, the secretary learns to accept and acknowledge the view-points and attitudes of others.
There are nine prime requisites for the successful secretary in the opinion of Mr. Marshall.
“A successful secretary must have these qualifications; absolute loyalty, diplomacy, act, constant application, good judgment, intelligence, a neat appearance, ability and self-confidence.
The secretary is the mirror, the reflector of his employer and the public draws its conclusions in regard to the employer from the impression cast by the secretary. The employee should possess self-confidence but not conceit.
A good part of the secretary’s time is taken up by tactfully saying ‘no‘ to the people who actually know their requests are wholly unreasonable, - and so the position must be in capable hands to separate the ‘wheat from the chaff’.” Mr. Marshall emphasized the (Continued on Page Three)
BELAUNDE ADVISOR TO PERUVIAN HEAD
Last Friday, Dr. Rafael Bel-auride sailed for Peru, having been called by President Ocampo of the new republic to act in an advisory capacity.
According to a Peruvian newspaper, President Ocampo has called Dr. Belaunde to cooperate with him in carrying out a new political program, the object of which is to establish free elections, to modify the constitution and inaugurate other new political ideas. Because of his high moral integrity and extensive knowledge of. political and administrative affairs, the president will place the utmost confidence in Dr. Belaunde.
The day before his departure. Dr. Belaunde was honored by' a special assembly of faculty anil students of the University. In the name of the faculty. Dean West extended best wishes to Dr. Bel-; aunde for success in his new venture. Guy Mitchell, the representative of the student body, expressed regret at Dr. Belaunde’s leaving and presented him a gift as an expression of the students appreciation of his services at the University. It was announced that Rafael Belaunde Jr. and Dr. Victor Belaunde would continue in Dr. Belaunde’s stead as head of the Latin-American department.
‘‘O’Kell a Member of Gamma Delt”, Accuses F. Albert
Prosecuting Attorney States That Opposite Faction Is Misinformed
“George certainly has his nerve with him,” was the characteristic remark of Franklin Albert to a Hurricane representative, concerning Mr. O’KeH’s statement in last week's issue of the Hurricane that the Independent ticket was Phi Alpha selected and supported. Mr. Albert, unaffiliated Prosecuting Attorney for the student government, is a founder and one of the present leaders of the Independent Party.
“Speaking for the Independent Party as a whole. I make a flat, absolute, and unqualified denial of O'Kell’s accusation. The selection 1 of our party’s ticket was prompted by nothing but the desire to see next year's conduct of the student government in the hands of the best qualified people on the campus. i had a hand in selecting that ticket, and I am not a member of Phi Alpha or of any other social fraternity. George knows that ' much about the facts in the case, however badly informed he may : be about certain others, and in making any such assertions as he made to the Hurricane reporter he
■	is practically insinuating that I am either a crook or a fool. You can understand why I feel peeved over i
, his ill-considered and untruthful charges.
"Furthermore, I can produce disinterested witnesses who will testify that O'Kell has admitted privately that he is affiliated with Gamma Delta fraternity. Why he has been keeping his membership a secret I leave for you to decide. This should be of interest to read-j ers in view of O'Kell’s recent attempts to pose as the Moses of the unaffiliated group in the university.
"He certainly has his nerve with him,” reiterated Mr. Albert, as he : jerked his armful of leather-backed
■	volumes a notch higher and disappeared within the dusty confines of the law library.

“Five Men Connected With Phi Alpha Back Independent Ticket,” Says Okell
Harris and Gamble Most Active Organizers Of Ticket
EDITOR'S NOTF This is the second of 2 series of articles bv Mr Okell addressed to the student body of the Universitv of Miami
“In connection with my state-1 ment last week. I intend to bring forth proof of my assertions and also to outline the weaknesses of J the so-called Independent Party to the student body of the University ; of Miami, "said George Okell today.
“The statement that the Phi Alpha fraternity is backing the j Independent Party ticket is easily-proven. On this ticket the candidates for the offices of President and Prosecuting Attorney are, respectively, an S.A.E. and honorary-member of Phi Alpha, and a regular member of Phi Alpha. The ¡chairman of the committee sponsoring the ticket is a Phi Alpha, and the two men most active in organizing this ticket are Grant Harris and Clinton Gamble, both Phi Alphas.
“However, before proceeding
any further, I would like to assure the members of the student body and the Independent Party candidates that as individuals I have the utmost respect for their ability and integrity. I am airing absolutely no personal opinions.
“I would like to point out the following fact: since when have the faculty and Student Alumnae Association felt that it was necessary for them to dictate to the students as to who we should have in office? This may seem a startling proposition at first, but after seeing that the chairman of the committee u-hich is offering this ticket is a member of both the faculty and the Student Alumnae Association, it seems rather obvious that the truth of this point is self evident. We would also suggest that the Independent Party-in the future try- to avoid misrepresenting the truth as to the affiliations of their candidates. In the March 11 issue of the Hurricane the Independent Party in a statement asserted that the ratio of non-fraternity and fraternity cao-fContinued on Page Three)
