seven bands.
UM's “Band of the Hour" will be the featured band; the remaining musicians will come from local high schools. The parade route will run through downtown Coral Gables. Along the route will be a public address system to inform the spectators of parade progress.
Judging will be done in four divisions: upper fraternity, allowed to spend from $200 upwards; lower fraternity, who can spend up to $200; the independent groups who are unlimited in their spending, and the sororities who are also unlimited in their spend-ng-
For the first time in the UM's history, a trophy will be awarded for the best float in the entire parade. This will be a rotating trophy and for one group to retire it, they must win it for three years in succession.
The winners of the float competition will be announced at a dance to be held in the Student Union patio following the parade.
The first two winners in each division will be featured in the pre-game festival at the Homecoming game in the Orange Bowl. The new over-all winner will be paraded with the Queen’s float in the half-time activities.
Also for the first time this year, the themes to be used on the floats are unlimited. In previous years the themes revolved around football or the U of M.
The drivers of the floats this year will be provided by the administration, another new policy.
Entries for float competition must be submitted in Dr. Adams' Student Activities office. The entries can be given from 8:30 a.m October 4, to 4:00 p.m., October 13. A fee of $5 is also demanded of all entries.
Judging for house decorations will be divided into three categories; fraternity, sorority and independents, with a first and second place in each.
Decorations will be judged on the amount of effort put forth by the group, as well as originality and theme.
A new aspect of the judging this year is that there will be two separate judgings. Wednesday, October 25 and Saturday, October 28. The decorations which are the best on both dates will he the winners.
Winners of the house decoration judging will be announced at the Homecoming Dance.
All entries for house decoration competition must be into Dr. Adams’ office by October 13, at 4:00 p.m.

GAME ON AGENDA
State Committee Meets At UM To Discuss Space Age Progress
The education committee of the Florida State Chamber of Commerce is on campus today for a state committee meeting.
The committee, which is investigating the scientific offerings of Florida universities, is conferring at Miami to observe the science facilities here.
The committee will meet later in the year to recommend to the state any appropriations it deems necessary for universities to continue their science studies and research. In the past such monies have only gone to stale universities. Private institutions have not received any state support on spare age work.
“This is a great opportunity for us to show what we can do,” said Jay F. W. Pearson, UM president.
With a research staff of about 700, UM works on a ten million dollar research program for 61. This is a great improvement over the 1954 total contracts and grants for research of about one and a half million from private concerns.
Florida governor Farris Bryant will he in Miami at the time and may join the conference at UM and then will attend the University of Miami vs. Navy game tonight with Dr. Pearson.
Chairman of the committee, Thomas Fleming, Jr., will head the conference.
Dr. Pearson will speak to the group on “The University of Miami Faces The Space Age.”
A speaker for Governor Bryant will inform the group of his proposed plans.
Frederick Kent, chairman of
the State Junior College Board will speak on the part junior colleges play in the space age.
All speakers will be followed with a ten minute question and answer period.
Rear Admiral John F. David-
son. superintendent of the Navy Academy will address the group at a Riviera Country Club luncheon. Admiral Davidson flew down with the Navy team.
A box for the admiral and his company of 12 will be provided for the Navy game.
Another UM administration attempt to solve the parking problem is the road block on Miller Dr.
This will detour traffic from the main area of congestion, alleviate the hazard of the crossing opposite the Student Union, and provide additional parking space by discouraging campus residents from driving to class.
The project began in 1956 when an Indianapolis, Ind. firm made a survey of University traffic problems. As a result, they suggested that perimeter parking be installed around campus which has since been accomplished.
They also suggested that Miller Dr. should be closed off if San Amaro Dr. would be widened to four lanes to accommodate the additional traffic.
The city of Coral Gables passed an ordinance in 1959 giving the University permission to block the road provided that San Amaro was widened'.
Miller Dr. will be broken up soon when pipe lines for the new library are laid. Then it will be temporarily repaved for pedestrians.
Turn circles will be installed at Miller and University Dr. and at Miller and San Amaro when the new Student Union is built.
Plans for the Union are still in ;he preliminary stages. So far, it will include an Olympic-size swimming pool, bowling alleys, a large cafeteria, additional meeting rooms, and a movable stage for theatre productions.
According to Hart Morris, resident engineer of UM, plans will be completed about February and building should begin in the spring.
Sigma Alpha Nu Works For UF
The University is in the process of being bombarded with auto stickers. These, like the others, may cost you money — but it may also save several lives.
The notice reads:
“The men of Sigma Alpha Mu have washed your windshield. We hope that you can now see you way clear to donate to the United Fund. Thanks, Sigma Alpha Mu.”
The fraternity opened its drive yesterday. It will continue for another week. Brothers and pledges will wash windshields and place stickers on cars throughout the University, Coral Gables, South Miami and Miami Beach.
Later they will make canvas-ing kits for UF, distribute stickers and literature at gas stations and work at the Cerebral Palsy telethon in January.
“We feel it’s a worthy cause,” said Dave Levy, SAM projects chairman. “It helps so many ! causes.”
Sammy heard the United Fund needed volunteers and came up with this project. The fraternity discussed it with IUig Lilian, who works for UF public relations in Dade County.
“I hope other fraternities will : get behind this major project,”
I said Levy, who hopes to make it

an annual drive.

vice president respectively.
The fraterinty put up $40 for the slips currently being distributed.
