Philippines Eye U of M As Model

(Continued from Page One) old University of Manila. Like our own university it is housed mainly in temporary quarters, the same type of Army buildings that now dot the main campus in Coral Gables. To Be Converted Also like the University, it has one old building of Spanish design that was never completed. This, like our famous "skeleton" will be converted to harmonize with the new buildings which are being planned. "As a matter of fact," comments James Russell of the Weed office, "the only difference at all in the two problems is that the Manila site is hilly while ours is not." Russell went over the plans with Nakil, while Architect Marion Manley discussed the matter with the second delegation. The group had been commissioned to inspect schools in both North and South America. Nowhere did they find a situation that coincided so minutely with their problems, they said. The climate is almost identical to that the University of Miami buildings, designed to admit as much sunshine and air as possible, will be ideal for the Pacific.

A minature Santa Claus, complete with sleigh and reindeer zoomed high above a sleepy village in the Rogers' window, while a blue backdrop twinkled with stars. Miraculously being carried by the tiny sleigh was a full-sized refrigerator, gaily bedecked with red Christmas ribbon.
