University Publicity Department Tells World About Local School

Each year as the cities of Coral Gables and Miami seek nation-wide publicity, more attention is being paid to the valuable advertising the University of Miami brings this area. Students make news. Each day some college or university "breaks into" the news either through an important scientific discovery, an exciting sports event, or even some freshman's eating goldfish. Each day colleges provide events that are news. At the University of Miami each occurence suitable for publication is handled by an Information Service, a branch of the journalism department. News stories are written for University students' hometown newspapers—1500 of them during the past school year. Items have been sent to more than 30 states. Each of these carries a certain amount of advertising value for the cities of Coral Gables, Miami, and the University itself. Also handled through the Information Service this year was the announcement of a statewide journalism scholarship competition, sponsored by Lead and Ink, honorary journalism fraternity. Information about the competition was sent to every daily and weekly newspaper in Florida, and also to all high school publications in the state. This news-story alone placed Miami not only before 20,000 high school seniors in Florida, but also before their parents and friends. Letters of inquiry about the scholarship have been received from other states and from Canada, and two national magazines have asked to see the winning manuscript to consider it for publication. Since this is an annual award, interest in the scholarship is expected to increase. Most widely distributed of University publications is a publicity booklet, "Where Are You Going to College?" Nationally distributed, this booklet is now in its fourth annual revised edition. In four years, 125,000 copies of this picture booklet of the Miami area have been sent all over the United States, and the percentage of post-card replies has been very gratifying, according to University officials. As in most colleges, the sports program at the University of Miami wins far-flung attention. The University tennis team boasts national recognition, and for the past three years has claimed the title of national champion. Many of the members of the tennis team are high-ranking tennis players in national listings. Wherever they play, they carry the names of the University of Miami and Coral Gables. Several outstanding amateur heavy-weights attended the University, and therefore the Miami area too, have gone to national tournaments. Representatives for year three students participated in the National Collegiate Boxing Association tournament at Sacramento, Calif., and recently two University boxers went to New York City to the National Golden Gloves champions fights. As a team, the University boxers have travelled widely and have fought before large groups. Billy Regan, coach at the University of Miami, is now president of the National Collegiate Boxing Coaches Association. The University football team has done its share of travelling too, and in the past three years has played in San Antonio, Tex., Washington, D. C., Columbia, S. C., and Lubbock, Tex. Newspapers and movies of the University of Miami football teams, practicing and playing "midst tropical splendor," carry valuable advertising of the Miami area everywhere in the United States. National fraternity organizations on the University campus also do their share toward publicizing Coral Gables. Of the fifteen national fraternities and sororites on the campus—including social, music, law, art, and drama groups—every had national publications. These print articles and photographs of this region, with emphasis on its beauty, climate, and other advantages as the gateway to Latin-America. Each fraternal organization is host to numerous visitors from other states during the school year. With national defense a main concern of all Americans today the University of Miami is taking its place with other recognized institutions in the work. More than 200 United States Army Air Corps flying cadets are now in training at the University, learning navigation and meteorology. These cadets stay three months and are then replaced by others; those who complete the courses in navigation and meteorology are assigned to various fields—to the Phillippines, to Alaska, to Hawaii—wherever they are needed. Dr. Jay F. W. Pearson of Miami professors also adds to the publicity brought to Coral Gables and Miami. A recent incomplete survey of one-third of the faculty of more than 100, shows that in the past five years 20 University of Miami professors have written, edited, or contributed to 90 publications. Graduates and former students of the University left the college this month to carry the memory of their stays in Coral Gables back to 36 states and 7 foreign countries. In keeping with the spirit of Coral Gables, the University of Miami is young. But as the University grows, so grows its advertising value for Coral Gables, Miami, and, indeed, all South Florida.

New Art Exhibit At University

An exhibition entitled "Alaska" will open on Monday, in the music rooms of the administration building of the University of Miami. It consists of fourteen paintings by Prescott Jones and Vernon Smith of Massachusetts, who were among the twelve artists of outstanding ability from various parts of the country who were assigned for a period of work in Alaska under the WPA Art Program. They have given a vivid and personal account of Alaska from Ketchika northward, making graphic records of ports of entry teeming with interest and pushing further into the country or visiting remote islands. In this way both the external evidences of man's effort upon the landscape, in pilings of wharves and mushroom towns, as well as the deeper significance of primeval forests, the formation of land and rock, and the infinitely slow movement of glacial rivers are faithfully rendered. The paintings were assembled by the National Exhibition Section of the WPA Art Program, Federal Works Agency, Washington, D. C.

Registration For Draftees Is Announced

Registration of all men who have become 21 years of age since October 16, 1940, under the Selective Service Act, will be held for the District 7 area at the Fire and Police Station in Coral Gables and the American Legion home in Homestead on July 1.

Local Men Sought by Marines

A bill authorizing an increase in the peace-time enlisted strength of the Marine Corps passed the senate and was sent to the President for signature late last week, provides that the Marine Corps have an authorized peacetime enlisted strength of 46,000 regulars and an undetermined number of members of the reserve component on active duty. That bill also authorized the President, when he considers it necessary, to increase the strength of the Marine Corps by Executive Order to 60,000 men during times of emergency, according to Sergeant Stanley Gordon, in charge of the Marine Corps Recruiting activities in Miami and for this district. In reporting the bill to the Senate, the Military Committee commented on the fact that this number anticipated only the immediate needs of the Marine Corps and advised the Senate that each of the two self-sustaining amphibious Marine Divisions now in process of formation would require 14,000 of these men, and that sixteen separate battalions of men would be required to man amphibian tractor battalion's, baloon barrage squadrons, and various other units necessary to the modern military machine. Additional defense battalions are also needed and expansion of the Marine Corps air corps will require 7,000 more men. In reporting that this bill met only the needs of the Marine Corps, it was stated that to take care of the new demands placed upon it in providing detachments for new ships, security units for new bases and miscellaneous naval and Marine Corps activities, the corps will require a gradually increased enlisted strength during the next five years, reaching an peak of approximately 136,000 men by June 1947. Sergeant Gordon also pointed out that with this new increase for the Marine Corps, more and more opportunities are presenting themselves to enlisted men of the corps. He urges every man who is interested in the Marines to visit or write his office in the Post Office Bldg., Miami, today for further information, literature, and application blanks for enlistment. It is also reminded that the new age limit for enlistmen in the Marines is now 17 to 30.

Occupy West Home Lieut. and Mrs. Caranahan and two children will occupy Dr. and Mrs. Henry West's home on Avenue Romana during the latter's summer in the North. Lieut. Carnahan is stationed at the University air corps training school.

Many busy executives in Washington run down to Atlantic City for a day or two and so get acquainted with the Florida Exhibit there and with what it has to offer for defense projects.

The official opening of the Florida Exhibit on the Heir Pier at Atlantic City took place on Saturday, June 14, when the Orange Blossom Quartet of Tallahassee with Lois Miller at the organ opened the summer season of community sings which are attended nightly by thousands.

From the flaming blossom of the Royal Poincianna come the brown-black seeds which are used in unique jewelry introduced at Florida's Exhibit at Atlantic City.

The Sunshine Theatre at Florida's Exhibit on the Steel Pier, Atlantic City, will open officially on the 21st with the first showing of Florida films in color and sound. Visitors at the Florida Exhibit who show special interest in Florida will be invited to make up the audience of this intimate little theatre. From time to time the stage will be used by Florida artists and distinguished speakers.

Florida woods such as mahogany, lignum, crabwood, torchwood and black mangrove are made into jewelry and displayed at Florida's exhibit on Atlantic City's fashionable Boardwalk.
