UM Students Show Satisfaction With New Service Centralization
By SUE DUBOIS
Hurricane News Editor
The centralization of several of the administrative offices in Building 17 in the dorm area has been accepted as a good move by the majority of UM students.
The general consensus of opinion
among the student body was that the more compact the offices were in one area, the less run-around they would get when resorting to the administration for their services.
The dean of men, dean of women, Guidance Center, men’s and women’s infirmary, student activities and foreign student offices are among those which are moving to the dorm area and will have the most effect upon the students, under Dr. H. Franklin Williams’ leadership.
“Although this consolidation of offices has no effect upon me,” explained Joseph C. Valantiejus, a law student, “the centralization is good from the standpoint of those students living on the campus.” »
A few students who live off campus were in favor of the consolidation yet against the location of the building being at the dormitories. Their reason was that the dorms were too far away from the center of activity in the classroom buildings and the only students who had easy access to them were the students living on the campus in the apartments.
Dorothy Samuelson, a graduating senior, felt “the offices should be centralized in a building within the boundaries of the Merrick, Memorial and Student Club buildings.” During the summer months most students are not affected to the de-

■?ree that they are during the fall ind spring sessions. According to Lew Reade, in the school of engineering, “the move has not had its nitial effect as yet, but now that the student services are closer together, the atmosphere between the administration and the student is much warmer.”
The new offices are much neater and more intimate. There is much more space to work in, yet there is privacy within the group because there are smaller rooms inside of the main office.
Korean Vets Advised By VA

presentation of the University I.D. card. Swimming will last until 9 p.m.
“The pre-dinner swim,” says Norm Whitten, recreation director "should give everyone a hearty appetite for the charcoal-broiled “dogs” served at the south end of the Student Club, next to the boxing ring, at 9 p.m.” Whitten will be in charge of all arrangements.
Tuna fish sandwiches, soft drinks, cold slaw and other salads will also
be served.
Whitten has obtained a juke box with the latest records to provide music for a moonlight dance on the Student Club patio following the feast.
A songfest is also on the agenda.
Individual entertainers will perform and will be announced at the dinner tonight.
The regular Thursday night movie card will feature “A Thousand and One Nights.” It stars Phil Silvers and Marie Montez. The film is based on Aladdin and his magic lamp. Short subjects will also be on the program. Show time is 8:15 p.m.
"Desperados” was the film presented last night to a capacity audience.

Dual-Controlled Safety Car Used By Driving Class
A new dual-controlled 1953 Ford is now being used by students in a driver education class instructed by Samuel Messer, director of safety
education.
The car, loaned to the class by Huskamp Motors, has an extra clutch and brake but is otherwise the same as any other automobile. It may be driven by the students in the class who are teachers or prospective teachers seeking certification to teach high school students how to drive.
Since the course began, the first one was offered In Florida in 1947, 100 teachers have been trained with one in every high school in Dade County.
According to Messer, a project in its experimental stage is being carried on for the driver education class. This is a driver-trainer set-up which will attempt to teach students to mock drive a vehicle without leaving the class room. All controls of the car plus the controls of the trainer will be in a standstill position to point out mistakes.
A safety education course taught by Messer in the fall of 1952, attempted to make a survey of the campus for possible hazardous driving situations. Among the changes that were carried out were placing a traffic signal in front of the Student Club, speed limits lowered at entrances to the campus, realigning parking areas, indentation of the bus stops and the elimination of parking between Miller and University Drive.
A University Safety council organization resulted from this survey. It consists of the administration. students, campus and Coral Gables police. There are 18 members who accept Improvement suggestions from the students.
A safety demonstration given last February by the Class was “the first of its kind in the country as far as I know," according to Meaner.
Messer has been teaching at the UM for seven years and is now an associate professor of health and physical education. He received his B.S. from Rutgers, M.A. from Columbia and has done some advanced study towards an Ed.D. at New York university.
E. T. Lawrence, Messer’s assistant handles the dual-controlled car.
TEACHERS AND PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS are receiving instructions in a driving education class from Samuel Messer, director of safety education at the UM.
Abolila and John Tobin, must drive the dual controlled car for at least two hours every week as a requirement for their class. The auto was loaned to
