Martha and  Lionel  Wed  In
Opera Sponsored By
University
Rapid progress is being made in
preparing for the presentation of
the opera "Martha" in the Miami
Coliseum February 11.
The story by Flotow centers
around Lady Harriet, maid of
honor to Queen Anne. Bored by
the elaborate court life, Lady
Harriet is sitting by her window
when a group of singing maid servants pass her on their way to
the Richmond Fair. Acting on an
impulse, she decides to join them,
and persuades her waiting maid
Nancy, and her cousin Sir Tristram, an old and ardent admirer,
to go with her.
At the fair are two young farmers, foster brothers, Lionel and
Plunkett, who take occasion to
speak of Lionel's father, and his
leaving a ring with Plunkett, just
before his death, to be given to the
Queen, should Lionel ever get into
trouble.
The girls appear at this time
dressed as servant maids, with
Lady Harriet as Martha. Despite
Tristram's remonstrances they
hire themselves to the two
brothers.
At the farm house, Lionel and
Plunkett try to put their new
maids to work, but the girls refuse to take anything seriously and
laugh at their attempts. Alone
with Martha, Lionel discovers that
he loves her and asks her to sing
for him. She does so, choosing
to sing the "Last Rose of Summer " which cleverly brings in the
needed local color.
The farmers bid the girls good
night and leave them. Martha and
Nancy are wondering how to make
a get-away when^.they hear Sir
instram calling below their win-
uow. With his aid they escape
an dreturn home.
In Richmond forest the Queen
with her attendants is hunting
when Lionel and Plunkett stop at
a tavern near the woods. They
order ale and Plunkett sings the
spirited "Porter Song." Lionel,
heartbroken over his love, then
sings "Like a Dream," and, suddenly seeing Lady Harriet approaching, renews his lovemaking.
Although she loves him, Martha
repulses his advance, leaving him
in worse plight than before. Nancy
and Plunkett learn from the Queen
that Lionel is the son of the banished Earl of Dorby. They bring
the unhappy lovers together by
enacting the Richmond Fair scene
where they first met.
U. E. S. Is Chosen as Name
For Public Speaking Group
A group of students who are
greatly interested in public speech-
making met in the auditorium
Thursday, January 12, and adopted
the title of the University Extension Speakers. This organization,
created for the purpose of fostering speaking by the students off
campus, has as its aims the advertising of the University of Miami, and the gaining of experience
in public speaking. The ultimate
object is to speak before civic,
city, county, or state bodies and
other public groups. All students
who are interested in this phase
of public speaking are urged to attend the next meeting, which will
be announced  later.

Season
Coach Art Webb sent forth nine
men who knew their basketball and
the result was one sweet victory
for the home team over the Rollins
Wildcats. The game was played
before the largest crowd that ever
assembled in the Patio Court of
the University building. The Hurricane quintet did everything that
the basketball category calls for.
They pivoted, dribbled, passed and
shot with unerring accuracy. Their
short pass game completely baffled the Rollins defense and with
the exception of two long shots
the balance were made from under
the baekbrnrd. Rollin's offense
couldn't get started before either
one of the Hurrican . guards intercepted the ball and started another offense attack which usually
ended with a basket for the Miami
team.
Sir Rodney Ashman, who by the
way is just about as sweet a basketball player as they make 'em
starred both on offense and defense. The lad from Wisconsin
piled up some 22 points during the
evening's entertainment and that
was just a little over half the regular playing time. Rod got the
jump on most occasions and many
of the signals worke^to perfection. -^
Bob Stanton showed a world of
improvement over last year and
from all indications he won't be
put back at guard this year. Bob
was using his speed to good advantage in breaking for the basket and rung up five baskets in
short  order.
Cliff Courtney, who majors on
all sports, was a big gun on defense and his reeding the ball to
Ashman and Stanton made their
many baskets possible.
And don't think the two Hoosier
guards didn't play one keen bat-
President Ashe stated. "The Uni- ! tie at their guard positions. Mc-

program    as     two   of  the   major j wouldn't   give  them  a  chance    to
shoot. The Rollins forwards gave
up trying to work the ball close
to the basket and started some long
range shooting which usually fell
short.
In addition to their fine defensive work they accounted for five
basket* between  them.
Catha, Bleier, Wignall and
O'Brien also broke into the lineup
and the combination continued to
outacor* the visitors who just
couldn't cope with the Miami team.
