Summer Band Camp Bows Out; 'Awards Banquet' Honors Students
An awards banquet, held in the Student Club cafeteria Monday evening, climaxed the first University summer band camp. The high school musicians represented 26 high schools from 22 Florida cities.
More than 150 campers, staff members and guests heard Dr. H. Franklin Williams, vice president of the University speak on the University and benefits of higher education.
"The early form of universities was a guild of masters and students and this summer band camp has reproduced that theory on a
small scale,” Dr. Williams said. “There has existed between the staff and campers a fine spirit of cooperation,” he added.
Fred McCall, University of Miami bandmaster and director of the summer camp, introduced the guests and staff members.
Honor boy and girl campers are shown being congratulated by Mr. McCall. They are Helen Liabl, Melbourne and Jerome Bams, Hollywood. The two were chosen from among 103 high school musicians who attended the six weeks’ summer band camp.

Hurricane Staff Writ«
About half the Skeleton building will be ready for occupancy Sept. 15, Dr. Jay F. W. Pearson, vice president of the University, announced this week. The remainder should be completed by next February.
Tentative plans are being made to move into the new building as completed space becomes available.
15 Rooms To Be Ready ^	_____
The bookstore will be the first unit to enjoy new quarters. In about two weeks, around Aug. 22 it will be moved from its present location in the east end of the building to the newly completed west wing. Although there will be no increase in area, the new location should prove more efficient since, unlike the present one, it was designed specifically for its purpose.
About 15 classrooms are expected to be ready for use by Sept. 15.
These will be in the west end of the building, above the bookstore.
Early in the fall 10 more will be ready. Temporary classrooms in the huts will be moved into the new building as the rooms become available.
The library, which will occupy the first floor of the east end of the building, now used by the bookstore. and the floor above, should be able to move early in the fall.
The first floor will be used for	’r	”	*

Gals Evacuate! San Sab Dorms Welcome Men
As of Sept. 15 a “For Men Only" sign will hang over the portals of San Sebastian. Beginning that date the building will revert to its former role, that of men’s dormitory.
Reservations for men in San Sebastian are currently open, but all reservations for the men’s dormitories in the new housing for the fall semester are filled. William H. Fisher, director of housing, who made the announcement, said that reservations in San Sebastian should j be made as soon as possible. The semester fee is $125.
The women’s dormitories on main , campus are expected to house all co-eds. Reservations in this area are still open. If the need should arise the area would probably lx? enlarged.
The 20th street housing will con- | tinue to augment San Sebastian and the dormitories on Main Cam- j pus for another year at least.
San Sebastian was originally a J men’s dormitory. During the war j student navigators were housed there. The only changes made when the building was turned into a women's dormitory were to turn | some shower rooms into drying rooms and a reversion to showers would entail very little work.
Sorority clubrooms will be moved from San Sebastian to a group of portables on main campus.

Miss Mullan has visited Cuba and j Puerto Rico, but she said that her greatest disappointment was her | 1939 trip abroad. She planned to study in France, but wound up i spending two months in Dublin, instead.
