Announcement of the additional donation was made by M^yor Leonard K. Thomson, who, with Col. Robert Pentland, Jr., is co-chairman of the expansion fund committee. Mayor Thomson stated that the fund total has reached $437,776.
In making the gift Mr. Eaton, president of the Coconut Grove Exchange Bank, said, “Now that the University has an adequate, permanent site of 245 acres of beautiful and well located land in the Riviera section of Coral Gables, we expect to go ahead rapidly. It is an inspiring thought that we are returning to the original site, much enlarged, selected twenty years ago by the founders of the University. We shall build a great university here in south Florida where it is needed and where there are golden opportunities for such an institution.
“During the past ten years the University by sound management and energetic administration has built up permanent assets of tnore than one and a half million dollars. It is highly important that we finish the million dollar expansion fund and begin to develop the new site at the earliest pos-s'ble moment after building restrictions are lifted. '

Newmark s, O'Keefe’s Plays Bask In Shadow OfRosenblum's Glory
“Bepo’s Song” by Eugene Rosenblum was the only one of the three student on« act plays given in the cardboard theater Friday and Saturday nights that really excited the audience.
Rosenblum’s little thriller was apparently about a college student who avoided the draft by convincing the army he was actually crazy and getting himself dragged off to the asylum. But it was
about more than that. It preached, 7	!	!	I	,. ,
hero s speeches were too purplish,
and some of the dialogue, even a few of the characters (such as the maniac, Edwards) were extraneous to the central unity of the theme. Nevertheless, it was certainly one of the finest student one act* plays ever presented at University—perhaps the finest.
Rosenblum doubtless wrote the title role for himself, and aside from his voice, which ought to have been projected better at times, he was perfect as the psycho-neurotic. Especially fine was his use of his hands, artistic and graceful. Michel Dougherty as the sympathetic psychiatrist gave a restrained and intelligent performance.

to quote from the play, “all the heretical and radical philosophy of our poor deluded generation.”
The technique used by the playwright was expressionism, a far cry from the usual pseudo-realism or outright romanticism cooked up by most students in college playwriting classes. The language of the dialogue was generally on a high-pitched emotional key, bitter but poetic, and although several of the most startling and effective of the speeches were culled from such widely divergent sources as the Bible and Kenneth Patchen, the whole play in conception and in the actual writing was a work of pure imagination. This is not to overlook its obvious faults.
