Mary Hughes Call Is Guest Artist At 6th Symphony
Work* of Mozart, Schumann, Mendelssohn Will Be Concert Features
Mary Hughes Call, Miami concert pianist, will be guest artist at the sixth subscription concert of the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra, Sunday, March 13, at 3:30 p.m., in the Miami High school auditorium. She is the daughter of Mrs. George Hughes of Coral Gables, has studied under Godow-sky, and has been doing concert work for many years. She will play the Schumann “Concerto in A Minor, Op. 54.” The concerto, consisting of three parts, was composed in 1841, and was intended at first as an allegro for piano and orchestra under the title of “Fantasia”. The allegro opens with three bars of descending chords of the sixth and six-four played by the soloist. At the fourth bar the first theme of the allegro is heard in the woodwind. This is repeated an octave higher on the piano, and then a new theme is given out by the violins on the G string, the piano playing the melody in broken chords. The cadenzas of concertos are usually left to the discretion of the soloist, but in this case the composer wrote one of such surpassing beauty that pianists invariably make use of it. A coda in 2/4 time, founded on the opening bars of the initial melody, follows the cadenza.
A few scenes from “Midsummer Night’s Dream”, which will be presented by the dramatics depart-(Continued on Page Two)

Division of Colleges Into Smaller and More Compact Schools Advised
( BY COLLEGE NEWS SERVICE )
Madison, Wis.—Division of the average college of letters and science in large universities into 15 or 20 semi-indep' ndent smaller colleges was suggested thi3 week by advisers of the University of Wisconsin Experimental College.
Each unit under such a system would have its own social organizations and interests, thus encouraging an atmosphere similar to that of a fraternity minus the “brutal system” of the “elect”.
“Student social life and student education might profit greatly,” according to the advisers’ report.
“Groups of students and teachers living and working side by side in friendly rivalries and cooperation might give to an American university what it most needs—a social scheme adapted and adjusted to its teaching aims.”
CALENDAR
Fri., March 11 — Lambda Phi formal initiation at the home of Miss Louise Paxton ; banquet and dance at Coral Gables Country Club.

GIFFORD ADVANCES FORESTRY THEORY
Dr. John C. Gifford, lecturer on tropical forestry at the University of Miami and former special agent of the Forestry service, after thirty-five years of observation in the tropics has decided that the characteristic grain of many tropical woods consists of moon rings. Itr northern climates the annual periodic rings are due to cold and draught, he said.
In the tropics where there is no cold and no draught the only periodic agent that can affect the tree growth is the moon. Trees grow’ in the bright moonlight of the tropics producing beautiful bands of w’ood that merge into one another. Everything that happens to one tree is accurately recorded in the growth rings of its wood.
Investigation shows that 12 growth rings are formed a year in tropical woods which corresponds to the waxing and waning of the moon and thus adds another one of nature's phenomena due to lunar rhythm.

CAMPUS POLITICIAN „ of M	Re.i*».
DUE TO DISAPPEAR In Protest of Exec-FROM GOVERNMENT	utiT* Ru,e
( BY COLLEGE NEWS SERVICE I
Urbana, 111. — Student govern- ' ment, long a problem in the aver- i age Amer.can college, is due for general changes and is now experiencing a major revolution, in the opinion of The Daily Illini at the University of Illinois.
Exploitation of student interests, placing of governmental powers in the hands of non-representative officers and inefficient management by cliques “are sending the old political faction form of government to the wall,” according to The Illini, with the result that a new framework of governmental systems is being set up to supply the needs of the present-day student. The Illini observed editorially—
“To anyone who scans newspapers from dozens of colleges all over the country, it is apparent at once that there is a universal movement afoot to effect a new form of student government which will not only care for the social needs of .students but scholastic and welfare problems also.
“The development of large stu-• dent bodies with multiplied problems has rendered governments by a handful of aggressive campus politicians obsolete . . . In the larger colleges and universities the student senate and council systems are being inaugurated to replace the old free-for-all but open-to-none class officer system.”
Editors of The Illini cited the recent installation of a new student form of government at Ohio State University, agitation for changes at the University of Wisconsin—“to cure the ills existent under a system of the old school”, efforts to “obliterate politics” at DePauw and the recently-announced editorial policy of The Daily Northwestern, which advocates a “strong, central student governing body.”
Such reform activities, however, are going on in practically all leading colleges and universities, according to The Illini.
“The new and healthier student governments which are bound to grow up will probably be paralleled by a development of student interest in local, state and national government as well,” the editorial concluded.
be guest speaker. All girls who would like to attend this meeting please see Emma Ruede Fanger, Other informal meetings will take place before March 25.
The purpose of the club is to arouse interest in aviation in Miar.n and to instruct those who are interested. The meetings will be social and educational, the latter type to be held at various airports in the city, where speakers and observation will be included in the program.
The cabinet members attended the last meeting of the Junior division in Miami at Dinner Key, March 9, at 4:00. This was an educational meeting of observation at the port.
The club will also attend the Aviation Ball, March 17, at the Roney Plaza, which is given by the Miami Aero Club, and which is open to all aviation clubs in the city.
TO CONDUCT ROUNDTABLE
Dr. Victor Andres Belaunde, head of the Latin American Department at the university, taught several advanced courses in the Free University of Lima at the Peruvian capital last summer, soon after his departure from Miami. He took active part in the election campaign there.
Dr. Belaunde lent his support to the National Concentration movement, a coalition of parties seeking to effect the central administration of education, public service and other executive offices. The Concentration was intended by its founder, his brother, Dr. Rafael Belaunde, who is professor of Spanish in the University of Miami, to deal with the national crisis by nationwide cooperation. The movement was opposed by the military group and by the Apristas, an organization of Socialists. Lt.-Col. Sanchez-Cerro, the candidate of the army, was elected.
Dr. Belaunde was elected to the National Assembly by his native city, Arequipa, as a representative of the Centrist party. The party of the Right and the Center united under Dr. Belaunde’s leadership in contesting the radicalism of the Socialists. Though his own party had been defeated, Dr. Belaunde upheld the new government of Sanchez-Cerro, his personal friend, against the Apra. The radical Left advocated the abolition of the Senate, and the denial of suffrage to all women except those employed in industry, which policy the Center and the Right strongly opposed.
Recently the President, growing impatient with the opposition in the Assembly, jailed, exiled and , persecuted members of the Apra ; who held seats in the lower ■house. As this was an action *ontrary~jto ; the constitution. Dr. Belaunde aiid | his supporters made a strong pro-! test to the President. Whereas he ! had been leading the government party, he now became leader of the ! opposition.
Dr. Belaunde had pursued a conservative policy in the Assem-j bly, believing in moderation in j dealing with the opposition. The President had answered with force. As Sancho-Cerro had now become a virtual dictator, Dr. Belaunde and 35 representatives resigned, and left the country. Peru has been the scene of turmoil and unrest since, culminating in the attempted assassination of the President.
Dr. Belaunde plans to remain here to carry on with his work in the university until next June. He will conduct several courses in various Latin American subjects.
Dr. Belaunde published a book while in his country, “National Reality", which had a large sale. He is editor of “Mercurio Peruano”.
