MOCCASINS’ SCALP GOES TO MIAMI
RUFUS STEELE IS LECTURER
Exchange of Students With U. of H. is Near at Hand
By Hugh Selges
“We are on the front porch of the United tSates and should act as the reception committee to welcome our Latin American neighbors,” said Rufus Steele, special correspondent and representative from the University of Miami to the sixth Pan-American conference which was held recently in Havana, Cuba. “That the day is near at hand when we will be sending students and professors to Latin American institutions and they sending students and professors to us, there is no doubt. These people must be picked with the greatest of care in order that they may interpret each other correctly. In this manner it will be possible to break down the senseless barriers that now exist through a general misunderstanding of the customs and everyday life of the three Americas, and bring about a simple harmony and mutual confidence that will greatly benefit the Western Hemisphere.“
Mr. Steele,goes on to tell of the little differences in the customs of the North and South Americans. We, of North America, often wound the Latin’s feelings, unconsciously or knowingly, because we do not understand their sensitiveness. They are taught from childhood the small, but what they consider necessary nicieties of everyday lift, and we with our brusque, hurried manner overlook these life long traditions. It is because of ^ia.fftrtthatwhhtt.Njr tit. American goes south where he has heard that there is such a wealth of opportunity and fails to find what he has been told was there. We go among the Spanish speaking people and shut the door on ourselves and our opportunities without quite knowing just what has happened, and once they have been wounded they care nothing for us or what we have to say. So it is up to us to take a little pains and time to learn the customs and language of another country that we may enjoy the benefits of direct international trade.
The mechanics of a convention of this sort are exceedingly interesting, according to Mr. Steele’s report. There were delegates theré who could not understand a word of Spanish and others who knew nothing of the English tongue, yet the workings of the . convention went on as smoothly as though the delegates were all of one family. Interpreters were perhaps the busiest individuals at the sessions, as they were responsible for the Latin’s understanding the English and the United States delegation making sense out of the Spanish lingo.
Every delegate was assigned a certain place in the convention building, and his name and number placed thereon. The different countries were arranged alphabetically, and the United States came under "E”—Estados Unidos. This arrangement caused one delegate to miss the raising of his own flag. Everything was timed to the second, and the works of the convention ticked off like a well regulated clock. The camera men were assigned places and given cues when to crank away and when to stop. Lights were placed on the principal speakers, for their special benefit.
Every courtesy was extended to the visitors, even to a little green card that enabled one delegate to drive up a newly paved boulevard to the President’s palace and leave the tracks of his taxi in the pavement forever.

MORE LEADERS ARE NEEDED
Josephus Daniels Says Colleges Will Supply Future Leaders ,
Josephus Daniels, ex-secretary of the United States Navy, and a member of the Board of the University of North Carolina, expressed his ideas on “College Education” at an assembly Tuesday, January 24.
Mr. Daniels believes ■ that one keeps young by associating with young minds. He insists that the future depends upon the college man. “The country needs leaders” he says, “and they should rightly-come from the colleges. The country is drifting, the old folks say there is no glow and glory in the hearts of peopl* wiow, but Americans would respond if there was someone who could wake them up.”
He referred to his work in the Naval Department. His interest in education was manifested even here, where he established a school on every ship. His belief is that training is necessary, and that only geniuses need none, but they are few.
To the question, “Why college?” Mr. Deniels responded, “To teach men to find out things that haven’t already been found out.” Colleges prepare leaders, thinkers, investigators. Colleges send out the future Burbanks, Edisons, and Wrights.
Mr. Daniels went back to the time of the World War when the people had a vision of peace and faith. At the signing of the irmistiee the American people re-.urned to normalcy, Mr. Daniels ays, “They were tired of dreaming, they wanted to get down to business. Materialism is now in .he saddle. Men who ought to be leading are drifting, and those who ought to follow have quit following. Leadership is needed. Unless America stops drifting it will drift into war. We need vision! And such leadership and vision should come from the colleges. All great things fail unless young men forget themselves and look iorward to great achievements.”
Margaret McLanahan, accompanied by Dorothy James, sang a soprano solo, “As We Part.”

Cyrus F. Wicker, professor of Latin American history and international law, who represented the University of Miami at the Pan-American Congress in Havana, Cuba, spoke at the Coral Gables Congregational church Sunday afternoon about the first week of that great congress. Mr. Wicker was in the American consular service in Latin Amerea for several years.
"The sixth Pan-American Con-, gress,” said Mr. Wicker, “is being held m a building especially uuilt tor that purpose at the University of Havana, our sister university. The University of Miami may some day have a Congress here, of greater importance and of greater scope.”
Cyrus F. Wicker and Rufus Steele spoke to the minister of
concerning the exchange of professors and students. "Marvelous! Just what we want,” was the answer. “The Pan-American Congress,” continued Mr. Wicker, “has already established a closer relationship between the University of Havana and the University of Miami.
“This congress is comparable only to the great congresses held at the Hague and at Geneva. But the spirit here was different, it was the spirit of equality. The greatest republics, Brazil and the United States, are on an equal footing with the smallest republic, td Salvador. Each nation has one representative on each committee, can you imagine the European nations meeting under those conditions! Here at the Pan-American Congress we hear of no big three or no big four—all are equal. Î When 21 nations have assembled 1 in unity and equality to discuss i their common ideals and their com j mon problems, it is certain that ; lasting results will be obtained.'

Game Ends Close Score of 33-25
With
Czecho-Slovakian Will
Be Speaker At .Assembly
Officers for the Y. W. C. A. were elected last Monday at a meeting of the organization. Mildred Hohler was chosen president; Mary James, vice-president;
•'•valin* Snofford, secretary; and | ^ Dr. yiri ' • Danes, a Czecno-Ruth Linder, treasurer. - It was Slovakian of distinction, who decided to have the "following touring the United States as an standing committees: finance, so- official lecturer of the Institute
Chet Freeman, sport star deluxe of Stetson University, and his fellow basketeers came to Miami expecting to romp over the Hurricanes as they did last fall on the gridiron. But it was a different group of players who walked off the court on the short end of the scoring column to the tune of 33 to 25.
The game was a crackerjack from any standpoint and the fan who missed the game missed a real treat in every sense of the word. The Hatters started off in a business like fashion and it looked pretty gloomy for the locals as the visitors rolled up some 8 points at the start.
But then things began to happen. McGuire broke loose and tosssed one through from the foul line. Ashman got his eye on the basket and from then oh it was any one’s game.
The Miami team would work up to the basket for all of its shots. The Hatters were not so particular as to where they shot from. Most of their shots were from the center of the floor and at first they were scoring direct hits.
Chet Freeman was put out of the game early in the first half after playing a hangup game and this hurt the Stetson offense. The half ended with Miami in the lead 21 to 19.
For the greater part of the second half it was a close battle with Miami holding a slight lead throughout. McGuire went out of the game on personal fouls after a great game. Mac rang up a tota! of 11 poims. Towards the last Carbonneau was given a chance and he came through in great style. The former Exeter lad slipped through the Hatter’s defense twice for easy shots. Ashman shot two more, the last which clinched the game for Miami.
Ashman’s good jumping at th" pivot, position usually gave Miami the ball and for the greater part of the game Miami had possession of the ball. Courtney continued to play a great game on defense.
Stanton had an off night and Carbonneau relieved him for the greater part of the game.
McGuire and Franklin played a great game of defensive ball and Mac .sunk four baskets. Bleier relieved McGuire when he was sent out of the game because of personal fouls and held down the job in a pleasing fashion.
Bernard, Yarger and Freeman were the outstanding stars for the Stetson team.
