U-TALK By BARBARA BROWNE

"With his satchel and shining morning face," the University student returned to school Wednesday to start the new semester and found that "something new had been added." (Excuse the mixture of Shakespeare and Old Gold quotations.) Ah, yes! His bleary eyes popped open as he saw the new basketball courts, and his ears perked up as he heard other students say that hand ball courts, ping-pong tables, badminton courts, and softball diamonds were soon to fill up the rest of the two empty blocks between the main building and the San Sebastian Building. Trouble makers who used to call the U the "Cardboard College without a campus" will have to change their tune. Actors Present "Candida" "Candida", George Bernard Shaw's comedy, which opened last night in the Cardboard Theatre, will be given again tonight and tomorrow night. Cast in the production are Shirley Haimes Goldstrom as Candida, William Reichas as Marchbanks, Lee Symansky as Morell, William Diamant as Kexy Mills, Manuel Roth as Burgess and Natalie Allen as Prosperpine Garnett. The play is directed by Charles Philhour. Thirty-two graduates said farewell to the U this week after commencement exercises last Monday. The students President Bowman F. Ashe addressed at the exercises are as follows: bachelor of arts, Martha Beall, Mayme Lu Church, Fred Bernstein, William Feldman, Florence Genet, Katherine Galsceck, Ann Gunter, Rosemary Lerond, Sidney Spectorman, Ernest Stern, Roger Tozzie; and Lee Roth; bachelor of science in education, Evelyn Auslander, Ennis Johnson, Vada Jordan, Kathryn Everett, Opal Melin and Noah Jones; bachelor of science in business administration, George Hollahan, Jr., George Pero, Jaime Fronza, Alexander Roth, Marvin I. Wildman, Bernard Zarrow and Harold Miller; bachelor of law, Morton Berman, Louis Max Smith, Clifton S. Pompilio and David David; bachelor of music, Edwin Head and Eunice Preston; bachelor of science, Jack Heffner. Moron Jokes Prevail There have been a lot of changes in the school during the brief vacation during semesters, but there is one thing that is still the same the fanatical pleasure students take in telling moron jokes. Boys with grim looks search the corridors for anyone who hasn't heard the latest one; then with devilish glee, they proceed to tell it, omitting none of the gory details. Typical and one of the favorite moron jokes is this one: First moron (Spike) and the second moron (Mike) went into a hotel and asked for twin beds. They were so tired that they unciressed in the dark, and accidentally both got in the same bed. "Hey, Spike, there's someone in my bed," said Mike. "Say, Mike, there's someone in mine, too," said Spike. "I know," said Mike. "I'll push my person out and you push your." So they pushed, and Mike pushed Spike out of bed. "I pushed mine out," said Mike. "Mine was stronger than me," said Spike. "That's all right, Spike," said Mike affectionately. "You can get right in with me." With jokes like this one floating around, one often wonders where the intellectual students hide themselves. FOREIGN STUDENTS FIT QUICKLY INTO ROUTINE Miss Abigail Gilday, principal of the Coral Gables Elementary School, commends the new students from abroad and says that adjust themselves readily to school life amid new surroundings. Those students from Guantanamo Bay are Pat Batten, Louis Campo, Hazel Campo, David and Janet Gingrich. From Greenwich, Conn., is Billy Chaplin and Lee of Mrs. W. B. Chaplin, Jr.; Sally Chafnas, daughter of Mrs. Rose Chafnas of The Bronx, N. Y.; Patricia McGloin, daughter of Captain and Mrs. Solon McGloin of Berkeley, Cal.; Martha Peterson, daughter of the Abbot Petersons, Jr., or Corpus Christi, Texas; Joyce and Richard Revell of Fort Lauderdale and Fred Wedderspoon, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Wedderspoon of Chicago.

Woolcott Play Held Over Week

"The Man Who Came To Dinner" is being held over for a third week, through Sunday, February 15th, at the Theatre of the Fifteen, in order to meet the demand for tickets to Kaufman and Hart's original, uncensored New York stage hit. James Crow is featured in the uproariously funny saga of Alexander Woollcott as Sheridan Whiteside, the state counterpart of the great man, and gives a performance, in the words of a critic, "of which Monty Woolley, of the Broadway and movie cast, might well be proud." Mary Greene has also scored a personal success as "Sherry's" glamorous actress-friend, Barbara Parmley, Willard Thompson, Charles H. Faber, Samuel Leiderman, Dorothy Beyer, Frank Rollinger, Elizabeth Cope and Aubrey Parmelee have likewise received critical and popular acclaim for their adroit characterizations. "The Man Who Came To Dinner", directed by Vaughn Beggcrly, is presented nightly at the Theatre of the Fifteen, Doug-las Entrance, Coral Gables. There will be two popular-price matinees, Sunday, February 8th, and Sunday, February 15th, both beginning at 3:00 p.m.

New Discovery Makes Outdoor Wood Bowling Alleys Possible

For the first time in history, Floridians will have the pleasure of bowling outdoors on real wood alleys, by virtue of a new discovery being introduced here by E. J. Flynn of Pittsburgh, Pa. Flynn has taken over the Gables Bowling Center, formerly operated by Jack Raymond at 210 Giralda Avenue, and is now completing the installation of the new alleys. The discovery that makes the wood alleys adaptible is called "Trusite" and was perfected by four of Pittsburgh's leading physicians, Drs. John Morris, James B. Gardner, Oliver Harris and E. W. Rebbeck. "The 'Trusite' bowling surface is food," Flynn explains, "a specially treated hardwood surface that defies the elements. It has been subjected to grueling tests far in excess of any conditions that would be met in any climate. 'Trusite' has been subjected to 60 degrees below zero for eight hours, boiled in salt brine for eight hours, baked in a hot oven for eight hours-and this procedure repeated four times without effect on this amazing material." Flynn points out further that Bob Burns, former Pittsburgh Sweepstakes Duckpin champion and 8-year holders of the national duckpin doubles all-time record, says of the alleys: "The 'Tru-Alley' lane is one of the finest bowling surfaces I have ever bowled on. It has the same sweet feel as the best indoor alleys, and in my opinion is more beautiful. Bowlers have waited a long time for something like this." The entire garden has been redecorated in anticipation of the grand opening, which is scheduled for next week-end. Mrs. Flynn came to Coral Gables and the couple is making their home in this community.

Dr. Clapp at Meeting

Dr. Glenn S. Clapp, local optometrist, will be out of his office February 12 to 16 attending the Clinic and Lecture at Orlando, Fla.

Teeth, Eyes Top Rejections For Service

TAMPA-(FNS) Poor vision and bad teeth are given as the principal causes for the alarming number of rejectees among men between the ages of 21 and 36 examined for military service. In the air corps bad eyesight is listed as causing more rejections than anything else, with bad teeth running a close second. Thousands of otherwise healthy individuals who up to the time of examination have neglected or given little attention to eyes or teeth are amazed to find that they are not acceptable. In most cases the condition could have been avoided if a good dentist or optometrist had been consulted and a check made at regular intervals. Records show that from a million examinations in the United States, 32 percent under 21 years of age, 48 percent under 31 years of age, and 82 percent under 60 years of age, have defective vision.

Keeping Up With the Chamber of Commerce BY TRACY HOLLINGSWORTH

That Chambers of Commerce should get on the Victory program, and asserting that no other organization can take the place of the Chamber of Commerce as a means of co-ordinating the efforts of community jobs, L. P. Dickie, manager of the southeastern division of the United States Chamber of Commerce, told members of the Florida Commercial Secretaries Association, at a conference this week held at Daytona Beach. The meeting was attended by Loyd C. Bush, secretary of the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce; J. K. Thompson, secretary of the Miami Chamber of Commerce, and Agnes Purcell, secretary of the Miami Beach organization. The purpose of the meeting was to bring home to the various secretaries the importance of giving "all-out" assistance of their respective organizations to war effort and to explain the various means of accomplishing the desired results. Dickie explained that he had recently visited 175 southern cities and that the public really did not realize the nation was in a state of emergency, and that further sacrifices would be sorely made by everyone. He said that there was no intention in Washington to maintain non-essential industries where they do not support Defense, and that local chambers of commerce could render invaluable aid by fitting these organizations in touch with the right agencies in Washington. Secretary Lindborg of the local Chamber of Commerce recently referred an inquiry from Washington regarding billeiting of air corps members to the Coliseum, and also made a survey of the number of commercial mechanics in Coral Gables, which information was forwarded to Washington. Among other subjects touched on were adjutant of local deliver service, publicize products, relations, the control of prices under new legislation, agricultural prospects, tourist and travel outlook, home and industrial rent situation, the local rationing system, relationship with the Red Cross, Americanization work, improvements in freight shipments, safety campaigns, housing problems for industrial workers. Harold Colee, executive vice-president of the State Chamber of Commerce, declared that there was no surplus of anything, and that he had lots of people to feed, and will eventually have to feed our enemies. He also mentioned that Florida Economic Council in Washington, which was financed by the state and which is working for the tourist and agricultural development of the state. The importance of increasing the sugar production in Florida was stressed, and each Chamber of Commerce will receive a "brief" shortly for the purpose of getting each organization behind the plan. The Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce has received a letter from George H. Spooner, Jr., assistant general passenger agent of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, advising that they have not "cut" their national advertising schedule at all, but will continue to encourage the public to travel. "The only thing we did was to omit references to vacations, fun, pleasure, etc., and substitute the theme, 'Civilians Need Furloughs, Too.'" Not all the folks in other sections of the country have stopped traveling towards this "Land of Sunshine," judging from inquiries received this week by the Chamber of Commerce. Letters arrived from Lynn, Mass., Atlanta, Ga., New Orleans, La., Brooklyn, N. Y., Cincinnati, Ohio, Cleveland, Ohio, Boston, Mass., Chicago, Ill., and Pittsburgh, Pa., seeking literature and other information about Coral Gables. Several hundred new city booklets were forwarded this week to travel agencies in many northern cities who had sent in requests recently, advising that they had numerous inquiries from prospective vacationers to this area.
