There are few changes in the personnel of the conservatory staff. Earle Chester Smith, teacher of piano* will not return. He has resumed his work in the Atlanta Conservatory, Atlanta, Ga., from which he had a three years’ leave of absence.
The conservatory has been fortunate in securing the services of Julian de Gray to take his place. Mr. de Gray was a pupil of Mat-they of London, England, who is considered the greatest teacher of this day.
Vivian Russell, former teacher of piano, is going to Europe to study under Matthey.
Helen Flanagan, a student in the conservatory and popular in Miami as a singer, will return to take up her studies here. Miss Flanagan was the soloist with the Highland Band which toured the North this summer.

TO DR. B. F. ASHE
There’s the poet in his soul.
For he dreams as poets do;
But his dreams are as his goal. Tried and proven, through and through.
There’s the fighter in his heart, For he holds his banner high. His is not an idle part;
“Onward!” is his battle cry.
So he meets the tempest’s wrath. Breasting every storm in sighc; Lighting us an open path As a beacon in the night.
—Harold M. Farkas.

GYM DEPARTMENT HAS NEW HEAD
Sports for Women Students Planned by Elizabeth Erikson
Girls’ Dormitory Opens
With Many New Students
Elizabeth Erikson of Minneapolis, Minn., is the newly appointed! teacher of the women’s physical education department. She was graduated from the University of Minneapolis and has taken work at the National Recreation School, New York City.
Miss Erikson has many ideas for the developing of sports for women in the University. She wishes to establish a department of the Women’s Athletic Associa- i tion here. The W. A. A. has a i point system whereby a girl gets ' so many credits for each sport she engages in. Miss Erikson believes that such a point system could easily be arranged. The University already offers swimming, horseback^ riding and dancing far the women students. She wants to add to this such sports as hockey, soccer and basketball.
Believing as she does that in this climate people should spend little of their time indoors, she is going to hold her classes out of doors as much as possible.

Drive to Last'a Week
“Big Bov" and “Lindy” Save University Equipment
“Big Boy” Cat ha, “Lindy” Lin-strom and the “pooch” had • thrilling experience guarding the University building the night of the hurricane. With only candles for light they saved the valuable equipment in the physics and »oology departments. They moved the pianos to keep them dry and just as they were getting everything in order the roof began to leak. It was not long before there were three inches of water on the first floor. This did not discourage the boys, however, but, according to “Big Boy,” it surely kept them
Beginning October 1 and continuing through October 10, the University will sponsor a collegiate membership drive to the Coral Gables Country Club, Gfanada Golf Course and the Venetian Pool.
Membership, which dates from the time of payment until Jure 1929, may be bought on the installment plan, one dollar a week for tewnty-five weeks, from James O’Brien, president of the senior class. Passes will be granted after the first payment.
Civic Theatre Plays To Be Directed By Student
Doro Rosen house, a student of the University, is co-director with Muriel Mattocks af two one-act plays, one modern and the other an eighteenth teutnry sketch, which will be presented in the laboratory manner by the Civic Theatre of Greater Miami at the Miramar Hotel, Seventeenth street and N. Biscayne drive, at 8 p. m. tonight.
Here we are, started on a new year with everything in ship shape and with most of the organizations in almost perfect running order. We hope that the Student Association is in this catagory. This association has been functioning more or less strongly for the past two school years. It first went under the nom-de-plume of Student Council which organization gave birth n May 1927 to the present form of government—the Student Association. It consists of every student who has paid his activity fee and has elected representatives at its head.
The president, the president’s cabinet, the vice-president, and the secretary-treasurer comprise the executive departments; the Senate, the legislative department and the Honor Court, the department of justice.
After our interesting time last spring, we learn that the president elect. Dale Clark may not return. We are sorry because we expected great things from Dale this year. However, we know that Peter White, vice-president elect, will fill the job well and will preside over the Senate meetings with dignity. When we write Dale’s name, we are reminded of that other president who, though he was in office but one year, left a foundation that we may be confident will stand any waves of adversity that may strike us m future years.
Everybody else is back and is anxiously awaiting the first Senate meeting Thursday, at 10:30, in the new student activity room. No. 203, which Peter is calling to settle some important student
University of Miami i< well on its way toward creating a successful glee club which will be different from any previous musical organization that the University has produced.
Accompanied by a ten-piece jazz orchestra, the glee club expects to tour Florida, Georgia and Cuba. Programs will be presented in Miami and Miami Beach. The selections will include jazz and classical music. Features and other attractions are being prepared.
The leader in this enterprise, “Aye” Farr, enrolled at the University, who has had varied experience in directing and organizing choirs, orchestras, glee clubs and other musical organizations.
“Aye” is a graduate of Miami High School, where he composed the official school song. Last year he went over “big” at Mercer University in Georgia, where he was featured in the famous Mercer Glee Club of 1927. His song writing showed remarkable development when he wrote "Freshman Blues” and jthe Mercer football song. His recent popular song compositions, “Let’s Build a World on Love” and "How Can You Feel the Same?” have been praised by Gene Austin, with whom Aaron appeared during the former's last booking in Miami. “Let's Build a World on Love” has been accepted by Irving Berlin for a special production.
As a member of the "Georgians,” well-known Southern orchestra, cf which he was to be the leader this year, “Aye" became a popular pianist throughout the South.
This young fellow, with Franklin Harris as faculty adviser, is going to give a real, honest-to-goodness, modern glee club to the University and at the same time advertise his new Alma Mater. The very fine recommendations from Dr. B. P. Richardson and Prof. H. Salter, nationally known glee club directors, have convinced Dr. B. F. Ashe, president of the University of Miami, of “Aye’s” ability to handle the new enterprise successfully.
Senators! Let’s everybody be there and surprise everybody else!
