Pan American Day Sho’ Good Help Themselves Evils Of Lobbies
Pan American Day again. And
the University of Miami, which is the southernmost University in the United States, and the leading Pan American institution, will have a part. It seems that a particular day is set aside each year for speakers to talk on Pan Americanism and to disregard it the remainder of the year. Japan continues her oppression in China. The United States becomes alarmed and Japan rather coyly reminds us of our own tactics with the Latin American countries. And we just blush becomingly, and talk Pan Americanism. Real Pan American friendship can be accomplished by education, by an inter-change of students, study of the customs of a country, their religion, their language and their philosophy. Our own University situated at the crossroads of the Americas has a great mission to perform.
The show went on and will go on again. By popular request the senior minstrel will be staged again at the Coral Gables Elementary School. From the time the curtain first went up until the grand finale, the show was one splendid production and should be equally as good when reproduced. Those students who made possible this show should be highly commended.
In previous years it has been the custom of the University to do much to create student spirit and to do things for the students. This year the University has been unable to do so and as a result the students have taken the initiative and have carried on their student activities, • Contrasting the two extremes we find that in the case where the University helped the student body, there was dissention, petty fussing, among the students, and a general atmosphere of antagonism; but in the latter instance, where the students had to do for themselves, we find them working together, taking the initiative, and doing real constructive work. It appears that the more you do for individuals the less they appreciate it and the more they have to do for themselves the more they appreciate it.
We may have beer by May first. Opponents and proponents of the measure have organized lobbies in the two branches of the Florida legislature and are shooting their biggest guns “fer” and agin” it. It seems that some of these crusading organizations would learn that a minister has no place in a lobby. It is the psychological reaction for the people to become antagonistic to his presence on such a question and then it seems that it is not fitting with the dignity that should be associated with the ministerial duties. Lobbying has come to be one of the greatest evils that we can inflict upon our political existence. It was one of the framers of the constitution who saw the evils of lobbies and said that the fault writh such a government as ours, is that an organized minority could and would control the country.

Marshall Wayne Places In Meet

Pan American Day Program Arranged
Auditorium Will Be Scene Of Annual Event On Monday
To promote better relations commercially, culturally and politically between the twenty-one republics of the Western Hemisphere is the the purpose of the annual Pan American Day celebration which will begin at 9:30 this morning by a program in the University auditorium. President Ashe will open the meeting with a short address and Dr. Rafael Belaunde, Sr., will speak on the significance of Pan American relations.
John Allen, general chairman, has announced that there will probably be an outside speaker of prominence. After the session in the auditorium students are urged to attend the rest of the celebration in other parts of the city. The next event will take place at the Biltmore Country Club and is being arranged by Mr. Herny L. Doherty. The celebrating will be climaxed by a gathering in Bay-front Park in the evening and a Pan American ball afterward at the Biltmore Country Club.
Marshall Wayne, Miami’s famed diving star, added further laurels to his impressive record in the swimming game by placing second in the National A. A. U. diving championships, held at the New York Athletic Club in New York, March 30, 31 and April 1. Olympic March 30, 31 and April 1. The title was won by Dick Degener of the University of Michigan, Olympic team member and defending champion, with a total score of 161 points. Wayne finished closely with 151 points to get the runner-up position. Ringler of the University of Pennsylvania was third with 132 points and A1 Greene, who defeated Wayne for a position on the 1932 Olympic team by one-sixth of a point, finished in fifth position.
By his great showing in this meet, Wayne has been chosen to represent the University of Miami on an All-Collegiate swimming team which will give exhibitions in Europe and other foreign countries this summer. A1 Kipith, physical director of Yale University, who will coach the collegiate team, was high in his praise about Wayne and predicted a bright future for Miami’s young diving star.
