Hurricane
Reveille awakens 186 high school musicians, who are attending the University of Miami Summer Music Camp, every morning at 7 at the UM dormitories.
High school students from nine states, the majority coming from Florida will rehearse, practice, take private lessons, and give recitals and concerts for the public at the UM until the end of July.
The campers may belong to either of two bands of 80 or 100 members or to the orchestra of 45 musicians. The bands rehearse in the Student Club and the band room. Beginning next week, the orchestra will begin rehearsals in the Ring theater.
A concert to be given by these high school musicians every Sunday at 3 p.m. in the Student Club cafeteria will be open to the public. Recitals will also be given in Beaumont Lecture hall every Friday evening and are open to everyone.

The campers are not allowed to play games of chance, hitchhike, leave the camp without permission or rough house in their “cabins." They must observe a schedule at all times, take care of their keys and keep their doors locked.
Merits and demerits are given if these rules are not obeyed. Points are earned for “honor cabin” awards and one person may win as much as 20 points towards his trophy at one time.
There are 155 resident campers who have paid $175 which includes housing, food, instruction, recreation and supervision for the summer camp. The 31 day campers who are residents of the greater Miami area pay $20 to attend rehearsals.
Reminiscent of “the alligator and he student lake” episode not too Tar back, a dead 150 lb., 6 ft. 3 inch shark was found in the student lake last Wednesday.
The shark was deposited in the student lake by a student who caucht it while deep sea fishing.
Norman Whitten, director of intramurals, pulled it out of the lake and gave a "shark” reprimand to the student responsible.
Schedule Announced
Soda Shop and cafeteria summer schedules are as follows. Soda shop: 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, and 8:30 ajn. to 7 p.m. on Sundays. It is closed Saturdays.
Cafeteria: breakfast, 7 to 10 a.m.; lunch, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; dinner, 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday: breakfast, 8 to 10 a.m.; lunch, 12 to 1:30 p.m.; dinner, 5 to 7 p.m.
Final Official Enrollment Figure For First Session Set At 2,934
Music, however, is not the only concern of the students. They live as campers in 13 different “cabins in the dormitories and are served meals at the cafeteria. On Monday nights they have cabin meetings and on July 30, at an award banquet, a trophy will be presented to the “honor cabin.”
Banquet trophies will also be given to both a boy and girl qualifying for honor camper, best musician, student making most progress for the term, best athlete and best majorette. Certificates will be awarded to those who are outstanding in these fields.
For extra-curricular activity the campers take part in an intramural program. On Thursday, they have a picnic at Crandon Park. On Wednesday the students may go bowling, skating, to the movies in town or they may attend a special movie at the Beaumont Lecture hall on Tuesdays.
Final official enrollment figure for the first summer session is 2,934, according to E. M. McCracken, registrar.
Breakdown of this figure shows new-student enrollment at 409, an increase of 181 over last year's total of 328.
Male students on campus outnumber females almost 4 to 1, while veterans, in keeping with a trend toward decreasing veteran enrollment, total 355, the smallest group on campus.
In the Evening division, a dropoff of 175 under last year’s total of 685, mars an otherwise encouraging picture for first summer session enrollment.
On a national scale, according to authorities, veteran enrollment will no longer soar into the thousands as was the case a few years ago.
Veterans who had any intention at all of going to school have already
done so. Those who haven’t are either married with large families or for various other reasons haven’t taken advantage of their benefit.

The University’s new photo center officially opened its doors Monday when Dr. Jay F. W. Pearson, UM president, made an inspection tour of its recently completed facilities. The first such set-up of its kind in+
U-M history, the new photo center will centralize all photographic facilities and processing equipment for University work, academic instruction. student publications and will also house a complete morgue.
A cross index file of all pictures and negatives from all departments will he included in the morgue, which is expected to provide a pictorial record of the University’s growth.
Dr. Pearson and Eugene Qohen, acting controller and budget officer, were guided through the new photo center by Norman D. Christensen, student publications director, and now supervisor of the photo lab also; Ray Fisher, chief UM photographer; and Bob Rudoff, photography instructor. RudolT will be responsible for maintenance of the lab and setting up the morgue.
The UM president said, “I am delighted to see the highly efficient arrangements that have resulted from the planning of Mr. Christensen, Mr. Fisher and Mr. Rudoff. I feel certain that while this first photo center is set up in a temporary building, it will enable us to do really effective teaching in photography and will also help us to maintain the high standard of photography which our student publications have set and which we have attained in our picture-taking for general University purposes.”
"This marks the first time in University history that we have had adequate facilities to take curt: of all phases.of photography work, thus meeting the growing needs of school expansion,” Christensen said.
The photo lab will be particularly helpful to student photographers working for student publications, he said. Instead of providing their own darkrooms, as previously, Christensen said, they will now be able to utilize the photo center’s equipment.
The center includes a main printing room, with five enlargers and room for five more; three film developing rooms; a studio; a separate darkroom for UM work; a storage room; a film loading room; and a film washer and dryer, plus a reception room and office.
Located in temporary building 823, which formerly housed the old photo lab and typing room, the photo center has a total floor area of 57 feet by 20 feet, as compared to the old lab's 17 feet by 20 feet.
Construction of the new center began May 8 and was completed last week, when operation started on a limited basis.
During the summer months, the center will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The extension number is 444.
Radio-TV Dept. Receives Praise
Professor Charles A, Siepmann, chairman of the Department of Communications at New York University, last week cited the University of Miami’s Radio and TV department for its “full-fledged syllabus providing basic training in all studio operations attendant on producing a television program."
Siepmann devotes extensive details to the UM Radio-TV department’s courses in his recent book, “Television and Education in the United States,” published by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
The NYU professor also pointed to UM students’ work with standard commercial broadcasting equipment for the scheduling of live programs in radio direct to Miami stations.
Siepmann commended station WTVJ in Miami for offering its facilities to the TV workshop class for demonstration, practice and use.
