Recognition Given To Women Students, Too

HIGHEST WOMEN'S honorary at UM is Nu Kappa Tau. Here Susan Dunkel is tapped. NKT is a national women's honorary brought to Miami in 1935 by Dean of Women emeritus Mary B. Merritt. "We thought the girls needed some recognition, too." That's why Mary B. Merritt, now Dean of Women emeritus, brought Nu Kappa Tau honorary to the University of Miami Campus in 1937. In the ensuing 14 years, close to 200 UM women have been honored by membership. Clad in black academic robes, mortar boards and salmon-colored scarfs, the women members tap in silent contrast to the drum beating splendor of their brother honorary, Iron Arrow. They walk in solem file in search of their tappees, the only sound being the click of their high heels. Many Gables residents, now housewives, clubwomen, socialites and career women, were thus honored as UM undergraduates. "A remarkable number of our alumnae still live in the area." Miss Merritt said. Included are: Mesdames Andre Rothenberg Finkelstein, Marcia Hargrove Ferguson and Marie Reichard Fein, all of whom were charter members. Doris Page Turner, Margaret Shillington, Margaret Blue Howell, Lucille Brown Nontfort and Miriam Kaminski Fetzer were also members, tapped in the '40's. In the last decade, residents Betty Newman McDonell, Glenda Fink Johnson, Ellen Stone Alvin, and Joan Odell have been named. By piling up 421 yards total offense in three games, University of Miami's sophomore quarterback already has gained more than any Hurricane football player amassed all last year except for Fran Curci who had a 1328 total offense tally in 10 games.

Booming Drums Signal Tapping For Iron Arrow

Twice each year, every year since the University of Miami's inception, the sound of drums booms about the campus. They signal the tapping exercises for Iron Arrow, UM's highest honorary for men. Clad in multi-colored Seminole jackets, the members walk in solemn Indian file over the campus, selecting the outstanding male leaders for the "tribe." The leader carries a hand-wrought iron arrow, which he thrusts into the hands of the selectee. For the past few years, kettle drums have been employed in several spots around campus, annoying professors in their teaching efforts. However, the organization is considered worth the interruption. Founded in 1926 by the late President Bowman Foster Ashe, Iron Arrow was intended to signify to all that these men were to be as dominant in building South Florida as the Seminole Nation had been previously. To prove his point, Ashe chose as founder members seven student leaders, including a class president, a football star, a student editor, and a fraternity president. Today, the roll of Iron Arrow members reads like a "Who's Who of South Florida. Among those who have matched in public life the ability they showed in the academic: Judge Ray Pearson ('49), Representative Dante Fascell ('37), Ted David ('55), ex-speaker of the Florida House and poet Donald Justice ('42). In the sports world there are: former baseball star, Al Rosen ('40); tennis player and businessman, Gardnar Mulloy, ('36); Washington Redskins fullback Don Bosseler ('56) and UM coaches Walt Kichefski ('40) and Whitey Campbell ('50). Local residents include: Eddie Dunn ('38), Stanley J. Levine, ('50), George Vickery ('51), Patrick J. Cesarano ('35), Frank Smathers ('34) and TIMES-GUIDE news editor Maurice Labelle ('53). The man in charge of returning alumni each Homecoming, Coordinator of Alumni Affairs Carl Fien became a member as an undergraduate in 1937. Tuesday, Iron Arrow again tapped a score of outstanding students, faculty and alumni. In the shadows in front of UM's Beaumont Lecture Hall stands a life-size statue of President Ashe, Iron Arrow's originator. On the wall directly behind his extended right hand a plaque bearing the names of Iron Arrow's members has been placed. IRON ARROW is the highest men's honorary on the UM campus. Here Basketball Coach Bruce Hale is tapped by Norman Whitten, assistant director of student activities. Dr. Bowman F. Ashe, the University's first president, founded the organization in 1926.
