(omit Supplement

Added To Fri. Gator
What ain't we gonna get next
(outside of complaints) ?
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

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

regard to scholarships. The rea-
son for this is-with the new
gymnasium seating 7,500 in exist-

made available, the possibility
arises that sports other than foot-
ball can begin to help pay their
own way.

nation-wide recognition to the

"5. Return boxing to intercol-

"6. See that the Athletic Coun-
cil fulfils its duty as to the
awarding of letters.

ligator the minutes of every Ath-
letic Council meeting.

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

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.

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-

300 memberships, Dr. William G.
Carlton, temporary chairman of
the league has announced.
Only 150 memberships were orig-

fact that so many people wanted
to take advantage of this oppor-

cepted. It will not be possible to
sell any more than the 300, how-
ever, Dr. Carlton said.

STUDENTS HEAR TRUMALN--Considerable interest was shown by University of Florida students,
about 6,000 of whom are veterans of World War II, in President Truman's address to Congress yesterday
urging temporary revival of Selective Service and enactment of the Universal Military Training bill.
Shown above are a part of the group of students who heard the President's remarks over a radio located
in the Bryan Lounge of the University's Florida Union. ( "hoto By Trent Rogers.)

"One of the main duties of the

Going on, "A Student" con-

Pen has time and again stated
that he is not against- a third

for the good of the student body
and student government, it is be-

any good editor would support
such a good movement. Pen slates
that the third party has been es-

has said to to keep the. student

stated.

With Spring elections approxi-
mately two weeks off, political is-
sues were vehemently rehashed
this week o, party leaders.
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. And yet these men
saw fit to trade loyalty to their
group for personal gain. This
in itself exemplifies the birth of

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. One
individual, in order to get the pres-

ternity into the new party. An*
other person, in order to get th
chairmanship of the political part)

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."

On The


*Spot

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.

GATOR GRID FANS WILL GET a pre-season look at
their football team when the annual intrasquad game is
-played in the stadium March 26. This should give the
visiting sports writers a chance to size up the Gators for
1948. Injuries have been giving Coach Wolf and his
staff plenty of trouble, but two well drilled teams will
take the field.

HERE'S WISHING THE GATOR BASEBALL team the
best of luck as they start their schedule for this year. They
play their opening game with Alabama Monday and again
Tuesday. f

Power Taking


Ind. 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. '
Following the finals, tourney of-
ficials selected an all-tournament
team consisting of these men:
Pitchers-Ray Hendric k s, All
Stars, and Jim Whittle, Avon-
dales; catcher-Don Crim, All
Stars; first base-Ivan Crim, All
Stars; second base-Dick Ander-
son, Avondales; shortstop--Law-

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,

pelty Pilferings,

Vandalism Listed

By Housing Office
All petty pilferings which are
reported to the Housing Office
are filed on a Lost and Theft
Report and investigated by the
chief of the Maintenance Staff
and the City Police.
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." .

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-

This device also plays back the
records. 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.

PRESI DENT ASSISTANT

Edith Patti Pitts Has Had

Life Of Varied Interests

Her Life Story Is Filled With Different Jobs,
Traveling And'Hobbies


By John Edmunds
Miss Edith Patti Pitts, adminis-
trative assistant to President J.
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

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-

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.

Poor Politics, Journalism '
In the poorest of taste was the recent attack on Charles
E. 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.

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.

I saw a young freshman the
other day.
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.

Language Of Devil Was

English, Fernandez Thought

By Pedro Villa Fernandez
It was when I was in my seventh year and living in an
out-of-the-way, small city hidden up among the mountains
of northern Spain that I first heard a foreign language. 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

them seemed almost inhumanly in stories and pictures. From tat

FLORIDA STATE '
THEATRES


As I

See 'Em


Elgin White

You know, there are a lot of stu-
dents here who don't know that
WRUF, which is a radio station,
presumably, belongs to the Univer-
sity.
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."

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-

Varsity Party, we understand

that C. J. Hardee WILL get their
nod as presidential candidate
(contrary to our information of

an independent, will get the vice-
presidential bid, Call Lee of Kap-

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

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-
