The downtown Music Conservatory will be located in the new
Civic Theater building at Sixteenth
street and Biscayne boulevard.
This will accommodate members
of the preparatory school. The intermediate and advanced departments, as heretofore, will be at
the University.
There are few changes in the
personnel of the conservatory staff.
Earle Chester Smith, teacher of
piano» will not return. He has rc-
*umed 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.
Dorothy Richey, secretary to
Miss Foster last year, is now
teaching dramatics and physical
education at Limestone College,
Gaffney, S. C.
Orton Lowe Is New Head
Of English Department
Orton Lowe of Pennsylvania will
take Dr. Lincoln R. Gibbs' place
as professor of English. Dr. Lowe
has been teacher, editor and author. He has had experience as an
elementary school, high school and
college teacher and as principal
and superintendent of schools. For
eight years he was the director of
English in the Pennsylvania State
Department of Public Instruction.
He was the poetry editor of "The
Scholastic" and advisory editor of
the "English Journal" and of the
"Elementary English Review." He
also was the editor of a series of
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 siglu;
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 Minneap.i-
lis, 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 Association here. The W. A. A. has a
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 for
the womeA 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 mt
doors as much as possible.

Drive to Last'a Week
"Big Boy" and "Lindy" Save
University Equipment
"Big Boy" Catha, "Lindy" Lin-
strom and the "pooch" had a 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 xool-
ogy departments. Tbey moved the
pianos to kesep them dry and just
as they fire getting everything in
order the tvat began to leak. It
was not long before there were
three inches of water on the first
floor. This did not d-seoaraee the
boys, however, but, according to
"Big Boy," it surely kept them
busy.
Beginning October 1 and continuing through October 10, the University will sponsor a collegiate
membership drive to the Coral j
Gables Country Club, Granada
Golf Course and the Venetian Pool.
Membership, which dates from
the time of payment until June
1929, may be bought on the install-
ment 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 Rosenhouse, a student of
the University, is co-director with
Muriel Mattocks at two one-act
plays, one modern and the other
an eighteenth century sketch, which
will be presented in the laboratory
manner by the Civie 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 Stu-;
dent   Association.    It   consists   of
every   student  who has  paid   his
activity fee and   has elected rep-'
resentatives at its head.
The president, the president's
cabinet, the vice-president, and the
secretary-treasurer comprise th<-
executive departments; the Senate,
the legislative department and the e
Honor Court, the department '•_
justice.
After our interesting time last
spring, we leam that the president
elect. Dale Clark may not return.
We are sorry because we expeected
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 yeear, left a foundation that we may be confident will
stand any waves of adversity that
may strike us in future years.
Everybody else is back and is
anxiously awaiting the first Senate meeting Thursday, at 10:30, in
the new student activity room. So.
203, whkh Peter is calling to
settle some important student
matters.
Sesmtors! Let's everybody be
there and surprise everybody else!
GLEE CLUB TO
HAVE BIG YEAR
New     Leader    Plans    Trips
Through Cuba, Florida
and Georgia
its «.. tng ■ -nei—
ful glee club which will be different from any previous musical organization thar '-sity has
produced.
Accompanied by a ten-piece jazz
orchestra, the glee club expects m
tour Florida. Georgia and Cuba.
Programs will be presented ~.n
Miami and Miami Beach. Thi
lections 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 the 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 la.*
booking in Miami. "Let's Build a
World on Love" has beeen 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 Booth.
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 convince*.
Dr. B. F. Ashe, president of the
University of Miami, of "Aye's"
ability to handle the new enterprise successfully.
