Mr. George Glassford looked hungry and so Mrs. Apelgren brought out a piece of cafeteria pie. Naturally the IBIS was there to get the goods on her in case George forgot to pull out his fifteen cents. At top right, other hungry people are gulping the stuff produced by Mrs. Apel- gren's stall. Hungry people are always good for a story, but since these are at least half fed our excuse for running the shot was the excellent view of the new cafeteria it afforded. One touch is missing here but is supplied in the picture below. Music, pro- duced by the University orches- tra under the waving baton of Gerald Haft, is wafted to cafe- teria diners every evening, and to Greater Miami via XVLRD every week night, Vie have no good reason for running the shot at bottom right except that we liked it. The pools of light formed by the overhead lamps on the walkway make an interesting effect, we think, as well as giving some idea of the moody glow which the club radiates late in the eve- ning. The montage at left fills in what we might have missed about the club. 21

The Student Senate. The Student Association is the chief student governing body. This year Red Robbins was elected to the oflice of president, assisted by Frank Stokes, vice president. Bettye Berney filled the position of treasurer and Cleo Cole was appointed secretary. At the Law school the Judicial branch was handled by Bob Kurtz, chief justice and John Kurk, prosecuting ZlllOI'IlCy. A I PRESIDENT First action of the year was the selection of a cabinet by Robbins, to aid him in his work. Robbins chose the following positions and students: .Xrt Mandler, public relationsg Sally Hunter, culture and educationg Lee Stiles, spirit steering, Lew Caputa, National student association, and Jack Linderman, social activities. Let's take a look at the Student Association year. Prob- ably the biggest move of the year was the ratification of N.S.A. Driven on by Lew Caputa, the senate, after care- ful consideration and hearings, accepted the N.S.A. con- stitution unanimously, N.S.A. is a union of college associations the nation over. It is a workable organization which is designed to better and strengthen student government as well as offer a num- ber of excellent opportunities for the students themselves. On November the 7, 8, and 9 delegates from 17 colleges and universities in the state of Florida gathered at the University of Miami under the Florida Intercollegiate Government and Press association. Red Robbins served as president of the association and Frank Stokes filled the position of chairman of the government group. Tom Bot- tomely served as vice- president and Art Mandler, F.I.P.A. treasurer, acted as Press chairman. Other projects of the year included the building of a snack shack near the main building which was completed in the fall semester. First project of the Student Associa- tion was Friendship lVeek, during which the S.A. wel- comed new students, dedicated the Student club, and held a reception for students from other countries now at- tending Miami. The Frosh met the Sophomores in a held day to deter- mine whether or not the frosh would wear dinks. The sophomores won, but the senate terminated the dink wearing because of their spirit and cooperation. . Vice-president Frank Stokes. Treasurer Bettye Berney. Cleo Cole, secretary.
