Student Owned Student Controlled Dedicated To Student Interest , The Largest Circulation Of Any Non-Daily Paper In The State of Florida 17-1 20 rj^. Vol. 3".w o William University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida I I To Speak monday Justice William 0. Douglas of the United States Su- preme Court will speak here at the University auditorium Monday under the Yulee lecture series. The endowed Yulee lectureships which annually bring outstanding lecturers in the fields of government and poli- tics to the campus commemorate Senator David Levy Yulee, first . senator from Florida in 1845, and prominent in Florida history. Douglas, who was born in ' Maine, Minnesota, Oct. 16, 1898, was nominated associate justice of the U. S. Supreme Court by President Franklin D. Roose- velt in March, 1939, He was con- firmed by the Senate, April 4, and took his seat on the bench April 17 of the same year. Receiving his grade and high ' school education at Yakima, Wash., Douglas attended Whit- man College where he received his A. B. degree in 1920. He then attended Columbia University where he received his LLB in 1925. William 0.

Beginning with this issue the Alligator is running a supple- ment of colored comics. Not just any old comics, but Sunday's comics Friday. Our only regret is that we began it too late to get "Mumbles" in on our Dick Tracy strip. This supplement is six pages, but every Friday from here on out there'll be eight pages. The supplement is another in the series of moves toward ex- pansion of the paper. Through the first semester the Alligator came out once a week with a large paper. Now it's twice a week with smaller papers but it averages slightly more pages per week, than the former week- ly issue. The main advantage is that news does not have to be held over for several days until the Friday issue. First expansion step;p, how- ever, was taken immediately in September, when the Gator switched from a tabloid to a full-sized eight-column paper. Ii the past week more office space has been given to the Gator so there's now room enough to move around a bit and stop losing a piece of copy here and there. More type- writers, tables, desks and sup- plies have arrived during the year, making things work far more efficiently. Fruchtman attended the Uni- versity of Florida several years ago and has appeared in recital here twice before. He is to be graduated from Juilliard School of Music this coming June. His teach- ers include Willeke, Ebann and Lieff Rosanoff. He has been heard in solo and ensemble perform- ances in and around New York, as well as in the South. Miss Wisti, pianist-accompanist, began her studies with Michael Wittels in Germany, later study- ing under Matthay in London, and was graduated from Oberlin, in Ohio. At present she is a pupil of Mine. Vengerova at Juilliard. The program for Wednesday night will include a Bach Suite, a Debussy Sonata, and shorter pieces by Beethoven, Fescobaldi, Milhaud, Boccherini, and Faure. The program will be complimen- tary to the student body-no ad- mission charge. Spring Holidays Will Not Change In reply to the question as to the changing of spring holidays, Registrar R. S. Johnson stated, "This office is of the opinion that the present date for spring holi- days favors the majority of stu- dents. Spring holidays are sched- uled each year to divide the sec- ond semester period in half." Johnson also said that the final word must be given by Dr. Miller himself. When approached with the question, Dr. Miller replied, "It is too late to change the date now, but this argument will be taken into consideration when the calen- dar for next year is formed." INDEPENDENT STUDENTS ORGANIZE F. IC. Meets, Discusses Proposed Constitution By Sandy Geer Independent students from sev-. eral campus organizations and housing units met Wednesdty night to get the Florida Independ- ent Council under way. The group did not adopt a constitution nor did they elect permanent officers. Eugeno Doss, inepenuent student who called the group together, presided at the meet- ing. Lamar Winegart, secretary of organizations on the presi- dent's council, addressed the group, telling them that the Maain thing was to get off on a sound footing. He also warned against the group's participa- tion in campus politics. Morty Freedman, columnist and past / editor In chief of the Alligator, also spoke before the group. He outlined conditions on the cam- pus which pointed to the need of an organization of independ- ent students. After being elected chairman Doss lead a discussion on the pro- posed Florida Independent Coun- cil constitution. The only major change suggested at the meeting Was that the provision calling for a secretary-treasurer be changed to.create separate offices of sec- retary and treasurer. No action Was taken on the change and no Movement for adoption of the constitutio in whole or in part Was forthcoming. Several students present at the Meeting made suggestions as to Courses of action for the present group. Doss decided to create Committees to work on publicity, membership and policy. Kirk Frazer was selected to the publicity committee. Work- Ing with him are Francis Wil- Son, John Gardiner, and Rich- ard Austin. These men will han- dle newspaper publicity, post- ers, handbills, and other mater- ial. Membership chairman is George Smith, assisted by co-chairmen Stan Warth and Bill McCoy. Oth- er members of this committee are Margaret Grinaker, Didk Rom- eyn, Al Brisler, Wesley Grace, David Spier, and Jim Voyles. Each student I at the meeting agreed to canvass dormitories and rooming houses, explaining about the FIC and urging all in- dependent students to partici- pate in the activities of the group. Policy committee chairman is Harry Letaw. On this committee also are Cooper Marshall, Leroy Rogo, and Frank LeMlre. The pol- icy committee presented some possible objectives for the group. These include supporting estab- lishment of an emergency child clinic at the infirmary, increased participation of independents in campus activities, cooperation with other groups in presenting campus wide social functions, long-range planning for an inde- pendent student's building, sup- porting plans for increased rec- reation facilities, and active sup- port of the alumni association. After committees had report- ed, plans for the next meeting were discussed. Wednesday ev- ening all committee chairmen will meet and the following Wednesday another open meet- ing for electing officers and adopting a constitution will be held. Unite represented at Wednes- day's meeting were: Trailervets I, II, and III; Gator Huts; Tem- porary Dorms A, E, and J; Fla- vet I; Murphree A and L; Sledd H; Buckman C; Fletcher E; Thomas F; Georgia Seagle Hall; Kirkpatrick Apartments, and the Vagabonds Polling Places For Election Announced Bill O'Neil Says No Waiting In Line Necessary This Time Following up last week's an- nouncement of the date set for campus-wide Spring elections, Bill O'Neil yesterday outlined the places where students are to go to vote Thursday, April 1. .All polling places, with the ex- ception of the Law School's, are to be on the street which runs between the Chemistry' and Sci- ence Buildings and which cuts through the Plaza of the Ameri- cas.

The Law School is to move inside their building in case of rain. Polling hours are to be from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and the votes will be counted in the Recreation Hall that night under the supervision of the Chancellor of the Honor Court, Dick Broome. (O'Neil said that those who wish to assist eith- er at the polling places or in the counting of the votes, should con- tact him.) Sigma Xi To Hear Dr. K. S.

Eye-Brow Raising Error Corrected Through a couple of slips here and there, the Alligator ran a story Wednesday saying that "more 1948 Seminoles will be distributed." We're sorry we astounded the student body by giving them the impression the '48s are out. What we really meant was that more 1947-forty-seven, that is -annuals will be given. It's 'not much consolation to those who had their hopes rais- ed, but we'll say here that we'll bet the new Seminole will be out before the school year ends.

King Ugly To Be Crowned At Dance Tonight In New Gym By Walter "Tyrone" Martin King Ugly Contest, sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega for Ameri- can Red Cross, closes at 5 o'clock this erveninig, Thbe king will .,be ('.."n--d t 'the King Ugly dance tonight in the new gym. Music for the dance will be furnished by .Larry Gibson and his band. Many prizes have been donat- ed by local merchants for pres- entation to the King and his court. The court is composed of the second prize winner, Prince Ugly, and the third prize win- ner, Duke Ugly. The court was added by APO to encourage a more active participation in the contest. Prizes will be awarded at the King Ugly dance in the dance in the new gym tonight. The prizes to be awarded King Ugly and his court will continue on display in Florida Union through today in order that all may see the advantages of being ugly. Besides these prizes, the Union is giving the girl at the dance with the best Easter bon- net a prize, and is furnishing "free" eats to all. Many prominent "Gators" have been named through the one cent vote during the past week. The Fighting Gators have through their contributions cast many one cent ballots for Frank Dempsey, and a character named "Greek" Allen has attracted much atten- tion by wierd pictures placed at the voting booths. One candidate really did his campaign up brown with a parade urging students to vote for "Joe-the-Smoe" as the Ugliest Man in the World. The Man with the Beard, Monte Rog- ers, has his true-to-life picture posted at all the voting booths, and it has been rumored by s6me that .he is running a good race. F Club Makes First Political Move The "F" Club, in an effort to better University athletics, will present a slate of officers for the Athletic Council in the spring elections, according to Hank Gardner, "F" Club president, who has gone before all three parties asking for endorsement of the slate. Gardner stated this week that through mutual cooperation with the Athletic Council, "F" Club representatives could greatly con- tribute toward policy formation. Florida athletics are under par compared to other institu- tions, the "F' Club president pointed out, and with the ex- ception of football, relatively little emphasis is placed on sports. "To accomplish its aims," Gard- ner said, "the 'F' Club intends to run its own slate of officers for the Athletic Council." 'Its candidates are as follows: President, Andy Bracken; Vice President, Bill Turner; Secretary, Billy Bracken, and members, Doug Belden and Fletcher Groves. "Since these men are closer to the Athletic Department and bet- ter acquainted with the problems facing it," Gardner continued, "we feel that they are better qualified to act as a liaison group between the Athletic Department and the student body, taking the wishes and requests of one group to the other. With this in mind, our candidates will be better able to assist the department with the following program, the first four items having already been under- taken by the Athletic Depart- at the Tampa and Jacksonville ment: games. "1. Reserved seats for all stu- "3. More University emphasis dents at football games, on basketball, baseball, track, "2.

The rea- son for this is-with the new gymnasium seating 7,500 in exist- ence' and fields and courts being made available, the possibility arises that sports other than foot- ball can begin to help pay their own way. "4. If financially feasible, to promote intersectional athletic ac- tivities by the University of Flor- ida. This will bring publicity and nation-wide recognition to the University. "5. Return boxing to intercol- legiate sports activities. "6. See that the Athletic Coun- cil fulfils its duty as to the awarding of letters. "7. To have published in the Al- ligator the minutes of every Ath- letic Council meeting. "8. To arrange better home- game schedules for future years. "In no way does the 'F' Club Wish to dictate to the student body as to its voting franchise, but as the student government has tried non-athletes on the council and apparently not met with much success, we have proposed our plan. "Let us emphasize once again that we have had nothing to do with campus politics and we will have nothing to do, with them in the future," he concluded. "We are only interested in strengthen- ing a student government office that we feel needs greater empha- sis." Ted Shurtleff, managing editor of the Alligator, has gained favor as ugliest man in many circles. There, were 6,135 votes cast .'as of Wednesday and the- ten leading contestants were: 1: Willie "Greek" Alien, 2: Frank Muscarella, 3: Carmon S. Boone, 4: Monte "Wooley" Rog- ers, 5: Ted Shurtleff, 6: Bobby Reid, 7: Delfin Fernandez, 8: Frank Graham, 9: Elgin White, 10 Tommy Fouts. Votes were also cast for Dean Beaty, two professors, President J. Hillis Miller, "Kilroy," "Ugly Me," and 126 other people, ac- cording to Lanier Dasher, APO official vote counter. Winners will receive prizes ranging from a trophy, a fan, jewelry, and shirts, to a case of beer, cigars, and records. The oth- er awards are: Gillette Tech razor set, a key-chain, ties, swimming trunks, wallet, shaving equip- ment, theatre pass, belt, socks, hair tonic, a Ronson lighter, tie set, flashlight, and a portrait pho- tograph. The voting booths, located at the College Inn, post office, and the Florida Union will remain open until 7 to accommodate late voters. Twenty-Two Minutes Old And He's Member Of Fla. Alumni Group Twenty-two minutes after he entered the world, Michael Can- dier Reese of Ocala became the youngest member of the Univer- sity of Florida Alumni Associa- tion. "Mike," son of Mr. and Mrs. Candler C. Reese, was born at 6:38 a. in. the 26th of February. When "Papa" Reese returned to his Snack Bar in Ocala at 7 a. m. to pass out cigars, Gra- ham E. Rose, president of the Ocala Alumni Club, put the "bee" on him to sign Mike up. Said "Papa" Reese, "'11 be glad to." So "Mike" went on the roll as an associate member, with all the rights and privileges thereunto pertaining. \ v^ \ T)WO PERFORMANCES REMAIN "Joan Of Lorraine" Well Received By Audience By Gerald Clarke just plain Mary Grey, actress, per- The Florida Players-Department haps she was less excellent.

As Fergusop " _NZ7 -- I ;, \ Mmw- -owam I Friday, March 19, 1944 Orange Peel Seeks Funds For Expansion Increased Allotment Would Make Possible Monthly Publication Officials of the University va- riety magazine, the Orange Peel, announced yesterday the launch- ing of a drive to secure a month- ly publication schedule for the 1948-49 editions of the Peel. John Trinkle, Peel managing editor, was named chairman of a committee of staff members to direct the campaign for ex- pansion of the magazine. Elgin White and George Mason com- pose the committee. Trinkle indicated that first ef- forts of the group would be di- rected toward securing a greater portion of the student activity fee for Orange Peel purposes. The fee allotment which the Peel now re- ceives is barely sufficient, even with advertising revenue, to cover publication expenses, according to Peel officials. "Florida is one of the few re- maining Southern universities which does not have a monthly student body magazine," stated Editor Trinkle, who added, "Of 17 colleges and universities in the South with which the Orange Peel maintains exchanges, 12 of them have monthly magazines and one has' two monthlies. In line with the recent expansion of other cam- pus publications here, and in cono sideration of the fact that con-. tributions for the magazine are quite plentiful this year, the staff feels that a monthly publication can be sustained." SEditor-in-Chief Jacm Doherty stated that more frequent pub- lication would permit the prep- aration of a better balanced book since more space would be available for student literary ef- forts without a sacrifice, of space usually devoted to humor, art work and cartoons. Trinkle announced that a peti- tion to place on the ballot in the spring election an amendment to the student body constitution which would raise the Peel's fee allotment is being circulated. He strongly urged students to be- come acquainted with the amend- ment for the purpose of giving it fair consideration in the election. Florida Alumni Will Get Preview Of Gator Gridders Game Will Be Mar. 26; Florida Sportswriters To Also Convene Here Florida alumni will preview the 1948 spring edition of Florida's Fighting Gator grid team during the two-day first annual spring meeting of the Alumni Associa- tion at the University March 26-27. In announcing the meeting dates for the program, D. R. (Billy), Matthews, director of alumni af- fairs, said that invitations to at- tend the spring meeting have been sent. Decision to switch the annual alumni meeting to the spring date was voted at the fall meeting last October when alumni decided that Homecoming festivities, with a full two-day slate, left little time to conduct alumni business. The football preview which the alumni will share with the Florida sports writers, who will also be on the campus, is only one of the many events planned for the alumni. A spring meeting pro- gram is being planned for frater- nities with special events for vis- iting alumni, while a dinner Fri- day evening will cater strictly to the non-fraternity affiliated alum- nus. Highlight of the spring meet- ing will be a Saturday luncheon and an address by President J. Hillis Miller. Matthews points out that hotel accommodations will be available for all. Florida Blue Key, sponsor of Homecoming, is assisting in planning the spring meeting pro- gram.

This is the big social event of the year for the Pikes, and it is the week-end in which the chap- ter by secret ballot picks their Dream Girl of 1948.

This wil be a formal affair and choice favors will be presented to the dates and wives of the brothers. The Dream Girl will be crowned by President Cecil Rozier who will also present the lucky lady with a loving cup properly engraved. Officers of the fraternity have announced that this week-end will be strictly closed to all but the Pikes. The Film Classic League, which was organized here last week for the purpose of showing outstand- ing films of the past, has now sold 300 memberships, Dr. William G. Carlton, temporary chairman of the league has announced. Only 150 memberships were orig- inally offered; but in view of the fact that so many people wanted to take advantage of this oppor- tunity, twice that number was ac- cepted. It will not be possible to sell any more than the 300, how- ever, Dr. Carlton said. The league expects to show the following pictures: Wednesday, March 31, Paris Ballet, The River, and Carnival in Flanders; Wednes- day, April 14, The Great Train Robbery, Potemkin, and Time in the Sun; and on Wednesday, April 28, Folk Dances, Great Actresses of the Past, and- The Lower Whit Va -1 allU wi- ne act Th Va yoE Pa - - - e magic I- n Heusen pulls white magic out of th with fine, smooth white broadcloth a your favorite collar models.

Pen has time and again stated that he is not against- a third party. A party must be established for the good of the student body and student government, it is be- lieved. It is most evident that any good editor would support such a good movement. Pen slates that the third party has been es- tablished to benefit a few, and has said to to keep the. student government next year from being run by "Key Danglers" and "Quo- rum Dodgers." "A Student" says in his letter that the editor should take 'fair warning' not to quote biased refer. ences to politics in the ALLIGA- TOR. He termed as a "Hitler" try- ing to force his "dictatorship" rule on the campus and student govern- ment. "Such strong headed tactics to warn or threaten a person are the weapons generally used by revolutionary groups," it has been stated. And so the life of an eidtor goes on and on and on.

Paul Buchman, Gator Party chairman, said: "Here at the Uni- versity we've always been proud of our student government, honot court, and campus politics. We know that there are faults in our student government, and yet we do not condone these faults. We recognize that there are certain faults in our honor code, and yet we do not condone these. "By the same token, he con- tinued, shrewd political deals and unsportsmanlike conduct, breach- es of trust and confidence, should not be condoned in campus poli- tics. *The Gator Parzy regrets that there were a number of officers elected to serve in the party or- ganization in whom confidence and trust were placed-as there would be in any officers of any organization.

Echoing Buchman's remarks, Bill Scruggs, chairman of the All- Students Party issued the follow- ing statement: "The new party challenges the independency of the Independent Students. It is up to the'students to retaliate. "The Varsity Party goes upon the assumption that independent students on campus have never or- ganizea to any appreciable degree and that they never will. The question is raised, as to whether, or not the independent students on the campus will rebut this pre- sumption. We certainly believe that they will. "Now as to the objectives.

An* other person, in order to get th chairmanship of the political part) pulled in his fraternity. And still another, strictly because he re- fused to ride if he couldn't drive, pulled in his fraternity. The re- maining group, feeling that a bandwagon was being organized, jumped aboard. "The questionable independent element, if any, went over strict- ly for personal gain and will 'abide by the rules and regula- tions promulgated by the 13 fra- ternities and the sorority." Larry King, the Varsity Party chairman, in a statement also is- sued yesterday, said that the new party, as any new party, must fall victim. "Within, the :ranks of our two competitors," King said, "there are bound to be certain disgrunt- led elements who will not hesi- tate to accuse of anything from plain cheating to dictato- rial control. By these certain disgruntled elements I refer spe- cifically to party leaders, party bosses, and disillusioned office- seekers." 4 The Florida Alligator, Friday, March 19, 1948 On The *Spot Dy Bill Boyd FLORIDA'S BASKETBALL PLAYERS did not ride back on day coaches from the tourney in Louisville as was re- ported by this column last week. Instead, we learned from Dean Dennis (Dutch) Stanley, they came back on a streamliner of their own choice. It seems the boys had their choice of taking a Pullman back right after the game or stay and see the next game and come back to Gaines- ville on a streamliner. The boys took the latter. Stanley pointed out that all Gator athletic teams have had the best treatment possible the last few years and the athletic department will continue to give them the best as long as it is possible. We are sorry that we were misinformed on the matter. DEAN STANLEY ALSO DENIED THAT Jimmy Hughes would come to Gainesville under his contacts. Stanley said that Coach Wolf would appoint the man to succeed Coach Brannon and that his office would continue its poli- cy approving the men recommended by Wolf. The Dean also said that he does not contemplate any change in the basketball coaching set-up as rumors say. FLORIDA RELAYS, TOP TRACK EVENT of the year for the University, seems to be ready for its biggest en- try list since Coach Percy Beard started the event in 1939. The war stopped the relays and this is the fifth event since 1939. To date over 33 colleges, junior col- leges, and high schools have filed entries. THE OTHER DAY AS WE WERE WANDERING around the athletic plant hunting something to write about we stopped by the basketball court and no sooner had we reached the door when the scent of perfume and powder struck our nostrils. With fire in our eyes we charged into the door and lo,and behold we could see nothing, but a crowd of boys completely encircling the court. Our first thought was that Florida's cagers were playing the Georgia Bulldogs. A closer look revealed a girls' basketball game in full swing. Of course the girls were in shorts.

Softball By Julian Clarkson A hard-hitting All Star nine copped the Independent League intramural softball title Tuesday afternoon by hammering out a 10-3 triumph over the Avondales behind the five-hit hurling of Ray Hendricks. The win was the seventh in a row for the All Stars, who drop- ped their initial' start of the tour- ney and then came back to blast every opponent into submission. Jim Whittle, diminutive Avon- dale pitcher, went the route for the losers, giving up eight safe- ties, and was charged with his first defeat of the tournament, but the Stars' run total was greatly helped along by five mis- cues committed by the Avondale defense. A four-run outburst by the Stars in the third frame, which gave them a decisive lead, was the exclusive product of Avondale errors. Stars Hit Hard Harold Freeburg, who' connect- ed for a triple and single, and Ivan Crim, with a double and sin- gle, starred at the plate for the new champs. Avondale Shortstop Gene Ryan was the only member of the losing outfit to touch Hen- dricks for more than one blow, rapping out a pair of one-basers. The All Stars opened the scor- ing in the bottom halt of the sec- ond stanza with two markers. Catcher Don Crim slapped out a single and scored on Freeburg's triple. After Freeburg was wiped off the basepaths, Ivan Crim sin- gled and moved around the sacks later to make it 2-0. A miniature Avondale blowup gave the Stars four more in the third, the tallies resulting from a combination of a walk, two er- rors, and Charlie Boutelle's two- sacker. The Avondales picked up their first run in the fourth on Ryana' single, Catcher Ward Har- ris' double, and a fielder's choice. allies Stifled The Avondales tried to initiate rallies in each of the last two in- nings, but an alert All Star infield and Hendricks' superlative hurl- ing choked off each uprising with a lone tally. The Stars played errorless ball afield.

Brown took top honors at the conference meet, and previ- ous to that had shattered both the Tech and Florida pool rec- ords. In the 200-yard breastroke swim, Coach Frank Genovar will send in Bud McDougald and Sam Ridout to try and outawim the Tech breastrokers. McDougal plac- ed fourth in the conference meet, and Ridout was disqualified. A hot race is expected when Florida's top backstroker, Tom Brown, matches strokes against Flowers, who edged but Brown by a few inches in previous meets. Bracken Tops Another expected first place should come from Bill Bracken, SEC springboard champion. Bracken outclassed all other compeitionnin the meet, to take an easy first place. The Tech-Florida clash will be- gin at 4, and a large turnout is expected.

The freshmen, coached by Wil- liam Potter, will rely on the serv- ices of aces Berney Segal, Andy Ziebe, John Schumpert, Ward Wagner, Felix D'Alessandro. Bob Bosenberg and Joe Pyle. The varsity is conceded by pre- match dope, to be the favorite, with the jayvees the usual under- dogs, but in de.eral matches it is expected that the freshmen will pull upsets on their big brothers. p For flartig Posts In ,- ua Till With slightly more than a week left of Spring practice. Coach Wolf's Gators are putting on steam in battles for starting as- signments in the intrasquad game March 26. The Gators are devoting this week's work to defense with con- siderable emphasis on pass de- fense. Offensii action has been stressed in previous sessions mix- ed with individual work on weak points in blocking and tackling. The backfield has been working overtime on ball handling and will be a smoother .perattin unit next fall. Only four men will be out of the game because of injuries. Bob- by Forbes, Clesewater Comet, has not done any rough work all spring and will not play in the full scale game before the Sport Writers As- sociation which will be holding its annual convention here. Bill Turner, letterman end from St. Petersburg, and Barn Webster, defensive fullback from Columbia, Tenn., have had knee operations and will not be ready for action. Bob Cummings, tackle from Ta- rentum, Pa., bothered by a knee injury last season, has had a re- currence of the same injury and will be on the sidelines for 1the 'game. Backfield Ready On the brighter side, all other men on previous hijury lists have returned to action. Doug Belden, first string quarter-back last year, has returned t- the scrimmage sessions and shows marked im- provement over his last season's performances. Eldredge Beach and Chuck Hunshit-er, halfbacks from last season, are back in action after being injured in practice and battling for starting assignments. Las Lewis, out with an ankle in- jury at present, will be ready to play. Coach Wo&f will have a com- plete backfield squad for the in- trasquad game with the except- tion of Forbes. The Gator line will feature big John Natyshak, 223-pound tackle from Youngstown, Ohio, and Tom- my Bray, guard from Griffin, Ga. Bray e,,ighed only 180 pounds last season but has grown to a hefty 200 pounder and will be a mainstay in the Florida offense, and defense fcr next season.

The Gators will meet the At. lanta Crackers in an exhibition game at Harris Field this after. noon at 3 o'clock. The Crackers are holding spring training in Gainesville. Coach Dave Fuller, in his first season as baseball mentor, has been directing the team through intrasquad games every afternoon with Joe Eaton, first baseman for the Gainesville G-Men coaching one team and Coach F"uller han. dling the other. The Gators finished last beasui with a total record of fourteen games won and fifteen lost, awit nine of the wins and eleven losses in collegiate competition. Florida did not play the conference champs from Alabama last year. Forbes At First Base When the umpire yells, "IPlay ball," Monday afternoon, Bobby Forbes will probably be at first base, Rodney Hudson at second base, Gene White at snortstop,' and Ed Brown at the hot cornet. White played second base last year and Brown played first uase. Coach Fuller has named three probable starters, all right hand. ed pitchers, to face the fide iot- ters.

Copies of these reports are also sent to the Dean of Student's Office and the Sheriff's Office. The Lost and Found Department of the Dean of Student's Office vorks in coordination with these reports and attempts to locate all items within their means. Articles of clothing and books are easily traced, while money and jewelry are very hard to track down. The Housing Office insists that its maids and janitors are trust- worthy and that they cannot be blamed for things that are stolen. Chief among the noise nuisances that are investigated is the drunk- eness of students and their raising cain at all hours of the night. Next on the list is the burning of trees and bulletin boards throughout the area. Another vandalism is that of breaking down the doors to stu- dents' rooms. "But," states Claude Hawkins of the Housing Office, "this is usually done by the stu- dents themselves who have lost the keys to their rooms. If these students will report to this office. we will gladly sell them another key for one dollar, the cost of the key." . Professor Morris Is Contributor Professor Alton C.

Students Learn To Speak THE VOICE OF SILENCE A Radio Station Operates But You Can't Hear It By Sandy Geer The University of Florida has one of the strangest radio sta- tions in the state. Each day its studio originates programs, its announcers tell about the advan- tages of such and such a product, and an engineer even twirls di- als, but you never hear this sta- tion on your radio. It is the Radio Training set-up at the Depart- ment of Speech. Over in Building E, there are three rooms devoted to the radio training equipment. Two of the rooms serve as studios and the other, situated between these two is a control room. One studio and the control room is soundproofed, and the three rooms are separat- ed by plate glass partitions. Each day students take part in pro- grams closely paralleling actual broadcast conditions. William Steis, Speech Depart- ment instructor who presides over the activities, says there are several courses offered by the de- partment in the field of radio. These include introduction to ra- dio, Speech Training for Radio, Radio Sales and Promotion, Ra- dio Programming and Production, and Radio Management. Steis is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame and has had 13 years eKperience in commercial radio. About $3,000 has been spent equipping the rooms with the lat- est gadgets found in many radio stations. Center of attraction is the new Wester Electric Console, the instrument that controls vol- ume of the various microphones and turntables separately or to- gether, and feeds the program to an amplifier. Recording equipment is' anoth- er big addition to the depart- ment's facilities. A new Presto re- corder and amplifier makes poe- 8 XBy IY-DEt SEPvlICE.

Another turntable will complete this part of the equip- ment, since a complete library of sound effect records has already been purchased and the music li- brary is growing. No studio is complete without its quota of microphones. The Speech Department has two a new Western Electric, 6-phase cardioid type, and another pre- viously in use. When an expected third mike arrives the studio will look like a cornfield. If you are interested in any phase of radio sound, annouc- ig production, dramatics, music, writing contact Steis as soon as possible. He wants to form a radio workshop.

Hillis Miller, has perhaps the most interesting life story and cultural background of all the women of Florida. A native of Lake City, Columbia County, Florida, Miss Pitts moved with her family to Havana, Cuba, when she was very young, She liv- ed in Havana for 14 years while her father was in charge of Unit- ed States Customs there. She was educated in Havana at Candler College and Cathedral School, Methodist and Episcopal institutions respectively. She re- turned to the United States to finish high school at Hills borough High School in Tampa. She then attended the National University of Havana as a stu- dent in Philosophy and Letters. Upon completion of her college course at Havana, Miss Pitts re- turned to the United States to launch her business career as secretary to C. J. Hardee of Tam-' pa. At the beginning of the first year of Roosevelt's administration, Miss Pitts accepted the position of Secretary to the General Council of the Public Works Administra- tion. The first appropriations for the PWA exceeded five billion dollars, and applicants from every state in the Union came to the PWA to secure loans for their re- spective states. In this office Miss Pitts met governors of practically every state in the Union, leading en- gineers of the country, mayors of all the large cities, members of the President's cabinet, and many of the Congressional Representatives. These contacts were valuable for work which she handled later on Capitol Hill while on the secre- tarial staff of two United States Senators. After a year with the PWA Miss Pitts became secretary and executive assistant to the direc- tor of financial relations of the Federal Housing Administration in Washington, where she met practically all the outstanding bankers in the United States who came to Washington to Union To Hold Easter Egg Hunt The second annual Florida Union easter egg hunt will be held at Camp Wauburg Thursday after- noon at 3:30 p. m. Children of all University Students are invited to attend and transportation from Florida Union to Camp Wauburg will be furnished. Bill Rion, director of Florida Union, states that eggs will be fur- nished by the Union. However, help is needed in dyeing the eggs. Any mothers who can help should con- tact Rion at Florida Union. About 200, children were present at last year's hunt, and more are expected this year. Rion requests that parents who expect to attend register for their children at Flor- ida Union desk this week.

Bennett, congressional candidate, by the Jacksonville Chronicle. Bennett, a disabled war veteran, was the ob- ject of a "news" story containing such as this: "Jaxons said this week they wonder if the federal government is financing the congressional bid of Charles E. Bennett, local attorney, against incumbent Congressman Emory H. Price of Jacksonville." The story went on to give details of how much Bennett, a former editor of the Alligator, is receiving as disable- ment compensation. It ends with, "They say he'd like to be elected congressman in 1948, governor in 1952, United States senator in 1958 and president of the United Sttaes in 1960." Besides being extremely poor journalism it was ani even poorer type of political maneuver. Here on the University of Florida campus we are at- tempting to train leaders in good government; not to be- come good politicians-the kind of a "good! politician" who wrote the story on Bennett. Our aim is to send men out who will not stoop to things of this sort but who will attempt to improve the way people's government is being run. We hope they'll be trained in such a manner here that they won't lower themselves to actions such as that. Backing Peel's Campaign In line with the expansion of other publications, we are solidly behind the drive of the Orange Peel, campus va- riety magazine, to become a monthly publication. For a university of this size there isn't much credit in a magazine appearing onjy quarterly. The Peel has im- proved greatly in style in the last few issues but in the time in between appearances it is almost forgotten. Once a quarter isn't often. May the Orange Peel come through on its campaign and cease to be the step-child of publications. Campus Opinions Letters To The Editor Students Warned Of Peddlers Editor, I hope this letter will reach many of those people who have re- cently been duped into putting their money into pockets of thieves and will warn those who are likely to in the near future. This campus, as well ad many other since the war, has become a Wall Street for count- less numbers of petty grafters. In the last year many students have lost nominable sums of money by buying suits, magazines, portraits, etc., that they have never seen. The students can cooperate in stamping out this evil by buying nothing from peddlers, and especially when they don't even see the merchandise. Notify your monitor of people selling in the dormitories who do not have housing office permits. Report all suspicious charac- ters, if you are not satisfied with their credentials, to the local police or to school officials. Only then can we rid ourselves of this menace that drains the meager resources of the greater part of the student body. Thomas W. Hicks. Echo To Broadcast Request Heard Editor. Having just read W. D. Sudia's letter concerning Claude Murphree's organ recital broadcasting, I would like to second his motion., As you probably know, Mr.. Murphree broadcast for years on WRUF before the war. I have been a student of Mr. Murphree for two years and am nat- urally intrigued by his interpretations of everything from Bach to Boogie. Never have I mentioned him to anyone living in this area but that I was most enthusiastically presented with, "Oh, yes, I used to always listen to him on the radio." Or, "Why on earth did they stop such a good program?" So, I have been led to believe that thp public would welcome even only a weekly broadcast of good organ music. Claude Murphree is "one of," if not "the" South's leading organists and we boast of Florida's finest and largest pipe organ right here on campus. So niay I echo Mr. Sudia's-"let's utilize that which we al- ready have to a maximum degree." I am hoping to soon enjoy Claude Murphree via radio broadcasts. William J.

Somehow I felt very old, f o r there was something about his serious face, pointed thoughtfully toward the path before him, that made me remark to myself, "There goes Buddy Davis of t h year 1942." There could not be too many chronological years be- tween his e ge and mine, yet a gulf lay between us. There was something about this supple youth, with his fingers clear of nicotine, that went straight to my Heart. I wonder what trials that fresh- man has ahead in the next fe w years. I wonder to what degree he will be disillusioned. I wonder if he is. confused, uninformed, won- dering. All this requires explanation. I have for some time held the pri- vate conviction that, unless there is an abrupt diplomatic change, our country will soon be mobiliz- ing to continue the last unfinished war. I have hesitated to mention it in this column, for one does not recklessly expound such views. All of us are comparatively at a tender age and likely to absorb those ideas too quickly. But it seems that the" time has come to openly recognize the taut situa- tion around us, for both govern- ment and citizens of our nation are awaiting the spark which is destined to light the tinder. Let us not, however, make the mistake of presuming that war is inevitable. Let us rather presume that present circumstances war- rant serious thought and pre- paredness-preparedness by arms and preparedness in the mind. I can do little about prepared- ness by arms, for that rests in the hands of government. And, like many of you, I am merely a pup- pet operated by strings of orders coming from some far-away neu- ter called the "reserve office." In some mystical way, I know how the little freshman's pulse quickens with. these wars and ru- mors of wars. I, too, have felt the thrill of asking myself, "Where shall I be a year from now." But I, like many others, fought the last conflict as a battle against atrocities. I fought for self-defense. I fought because my social group was fighting. There was some talk in newspaper col- umns about chocolate milkshakes and the girl back home, of Main Street and the corner drug store. Wars are bigger than individuals. Individuals do' not matter. That is what I want to tell the little freshman and myself - and you. For that purpose, I intend to utilize this column for the next few issues. I shall have to inves- tigate the probable enemy his beginning, his growth, his weak- ness. I shalltry to show where the conflict begins, where it is fought, and the all-prevailing question, "why?" And I shall also try to show why men in various parts think differently, f9r that may be the cause of our present dangerous position. For the next few columns, the subject shall be Russia.

(We only said "we hear," Tom.) It works like this: A man seeking a nomina- tion has strong support from the independent wing of the party and some support, although not a majority, from the fraternities in the party. ?o some bright lad (en- ter friend Paul) calls a caucus of the frat members of the nomina- ting, committee (pahdon me-con- vention) prior to the actual par- ty nominations and says, "Look, when we vote for the nominee for president, let's us fraternities back one fraternity man as a group. So if they're not alert (as Barksdull was) they fall for it, and the lad who had, say 10 out of 12 independent delegates and five out of 12 frat delegates for him loses the nomination 14-10 bepauee his five frat backers agreed to back the man whom the majority of the frat wing of the party favored That routine worked twice in beating Paul Buchman out of nominations des- pite strong independent support.

A blue-eyed, pink-cheeked, wiry old. man sat in an outdoor cafe conversing with a woman who resembled him, in her demeanor and her age, and in the total absence of gestures when she spoke. I took then, of course, him most attractively personified to be husband and wife. Both of them seemed almost inhumanly in stories and pictures. From tat outlandish to me in that Spanish day on I imagined him speaking atmosphere.

They say that WRUF is the "Voice of Florida." That's funny. Everytime I turn my radio on, I hear Dick Crago. Just in case no one has ever been there, suppose we take a little tour of the station. It's very in- teresting. You know, the 'state of Florida has two institutions in Gainsville for the mentally affect- ed. The Florida Farm Colony and WRUF. As we enter the front door,' on the left is the office of Major Gar- land Powell, who is the station di- rector. In order to get in, we have to see the Major, who is out. As the Major is not in and we are out, we can't get in until the Major gets back in. and he's out. And you have to get in to see the Major before he goes out, or else you're left out before you ever get in in the first place. Understand? (Boy, what Professor Matherly could do with this!). On the right is a big office with a lot of people who look as if they are slowly going crazy. As a mat- ter of fact, they are. We meet likeable Johnny Sever, who is the program director. His job is to direct programs. We tried to meet the rest of the first floor staff, but none of them could talk. All they did was mumble over and over again. "copy, copy, copy." WRUF orfers many opportuni- ties for students. And- the pay is good. Fifty cents a week and all the Pepsi-colas you can drink. No ice. That's a nickel extra. Upstairs, the announcers are busy. Some are filing records, some are filing their nails, and the oth- ers are filing their income tax re- turns. So much pay, you know. I watched them file for a long time. They have a new fellow there call- ed Rankin. I stayed and watched Rankin file. Crago is 'the sports announcer. He came running downstairs with a baseball cap on, wearing foot- ball pants, and dribbling a basket- ball. He is a stickler for realism. I asked Dick what he thought of the International situation. He said, "Well, I like Jersey City, but Baltimore will make it close." They have a big studio called studio A. It's right behind studio B, which is connected by a corridor to studio C, which goes upstairs to D, circles back to form E, then runs back downstairs to form studib E, which is located behind Major Powell's waste-basket. Travis Messer and Leonard Moseby are the script writers. They're the guys who think up those &$?&?'$&? commercials we hear day in and day out. They're nice boys, though, just got started off wrong in life, that's all. But WRUF is a nice station. It's full of live wires. And as soon as the Major can squeeze the money out of the state, he's going to have those darned wires insulated. Mother: "After all, he's only a boy, and boys will sow their wild oats." Father: "Yes, but I wouldn't mind if he didn't mix so much rye .with it." FOR SALE: 1940 SHULTZ HOUSE TRAILER New paint, new upholstry, new lin- 'ileum, and perfectly true on the road.

Paranoia By Morty Freedman POLITICAL STEW: That Var- sity Party announcement of an "open nominating convention" to select candidates must have been made by the Varsity boys with their tongues in their cheeks, since it was the independent Flor- ida Party and later the All-Stu- dents Party which first introduc- ed the idea Speaking of the Varsity Party, we understand (although this stint, was finished before last night's "convention") that C. J. Hardee WILL get their nod as presidential candidate (contrary to our information of last week), that Earl Faircloth, an independent, will get the vice- presidential bid, Call Lee of Kap- pa Sig will be the candidate for secretary-treasurer and L e o n Whitehurst, law school student, will be named chancellor candi- date. There's some dissension on the clerk candidate, but Hardee, Faircloth, Lee and Whitehurst are almost certain to get four of the "top five" nominations, even if not in the order named by us . On the other hand, it appears certain that Bob Ghiotto, inde- pendent leader and member of Florifia Blue Key, will get the All- Students' top spot and chances seem good that Quentin Long, an- other independent, will get the nod as' chancellor candidate . From the Gator Party camp we hear that Lacy Mahon, also a member of FBK, will be nominat- ed for the vice-presidency. How- |
