(Because this is Homecoming Week and at this time we must review the meaning of the university and attempt to learn of its traditions, we have asked the tribe of Iron Arrow to explain its purpose and its lineage. The reply submitted has been printed below in the hopes that many students will take more pride in tradition when they know of it. — The Editor.)
In 1925, the University of Miami was founded by Boweman F. Ashe. The first tradition of that new university was founded in the same academic year by the same man, Iron Arrow—highest honor attainable by a man at the University of Miami.
Patterned after Seminole tradition, the tribe of Iron Arrow is charged with the full weight of tradition at the University of Miami. It is not only the university’s first tradition, by designation of the founder, but is charged as the keeper of all traditions of the university.
In attempting to select its new braves into the tribe, Iron Arrow seeks out those whose character, attainments, and leadership indicate their worthiness of what is in reality as much a responsibility as an honor. In the words of the founder himself: "He who would know the arrow must, as an irrefutable rule, have openly and without thought of reward shown obvious love of alma mater. The desire to promote the welfare of the University of Miami is identified openly with this society and appears first in order on the certificate of membership. The arrow was founded by the president of the University of Miami in its first year of operation and it is therefore fitting that those who would know the arrow be wholeheartedly devoted to the future of the University of Miami with the same courage and loyalty as its founders.” Even the symbols of the tribe bear witness to the strength of this charge. The iron arrow itself, symbol of strength, the colorful jacket, the lapel buttons, are symbolic of the charge that each coming day must bear witness to the acceptance of responsibility as a member of the tribe.
USG Sends fViet’ Letter
Robert MacNamara. U.S. Secretary of Defense, became more aware of the University of Miami this week when he received a telegram from Tom Spencer, President of USG, asking for a special Cargo plane to carry Christmas packages from the UM students to the Armed Forces in Viet Nam.
Spencer asked Secretary of Defense McNamara for a complete list of all the necessities that the students could send to the soldiers in Viet Nam.
Every organization on campus will participate to fill the plane with gifts and needed supplies. The plane will be named the "Miami Hurricane Special” and will be of the Air Force C-ll* type.
“This will be carried out by the UM students and will be their way of showing the boys over there just how they feel, that they stand behind them 100%” said Tom Spencer as he sent out the telegram.
Dr. Werner Von Braun, well known spare pioneer, who spoke here two weeks ago has returned his check for $1,000 to USG. The check will be turned over to r. Singer to be used for a scholarship to be announced.
Homecoming festivities for 1965 will reach a spirited climax tonight and tomorrow evening with the Homecoming Dance and UM-Florida football game.
The Homecoming Dance will begin at 9 p.m. tonight in the Napoleon Room of the Deauville Hotel featuring the Isley Brothers and the Jackie Gleason Orchestra conducted by Sammie Spear. Tickets for the dance have been on sale all week.
Homecoming Week has been a busy schedule for participating UM students. Activities have ranged from the tapping ceremonies of the two top campus honoraries for men, ODK and Iron Arrow, to the largest Homecoming Parade in UM history. Many of the new UM students got their first glimpse of UM tradition with the impressive sound of the Iron Arrow drum. The campus has been decorated with an assortment of “Beat Florida” signs and house decorations, all of which have provided an adequate background for the pep rallies and boat burning.
The Homecoming Parade last night featured 24 floats, 11 marching and band units and 80 dignitary cars and car floats. The colorful floats were the result of many cardboard boxes, papier
