AtA SekFry,

 Dr. Howart R. Smith, one of
the foremost American pioneers in
animal husbandry education, spoke
to a gathering of 65 members and
guests of the Agriculture Club in
College Park recently, featured by
an open-air steak fry.
 Dr. Smith. introduced to the
club by Prof. C. H. Willoughby,
professor of animal husbandry,
spoke briefly on Florida's role in
livestock production.
 "Florida's biggest disadvantage
is the lack of forage crops," Dr.
Smith said. He pointed out that
some day Florida will be produc-
ducing more feed and eventually
there will be a great development
in meat production in this state.
At present the Southeast produces
only one-half of the meat it con-
sumes.
 Speaking of our University
 lie praised the beautiful build-
 ings and campus but hlie went 'on
 to say that one important as-
 pect of college life is lacking: co-
 education. lie has been to many
 large colleges and universities
 and feels that the influence of
 coeducation is a very necessary
 part of college life. "The girls
 should be here at the Univer-
 sity," he said.
 Dr. Smith was graduated from
 Michigan State college and has
 taught at Missouri, Nebraska and
 Minnesota universities. He is a
 Pioneer in animal husbandry edu-
 caton in the United States. Since
 1917 Dr. Smith has .been engaged
 in loss prevention work and he is
 now head of the natoinal livestock
 loss prevention board.
 Faculty guests present at the
 steak fry were Prof. C. H. Wil-
 loughby, Mr. and Mrs. Wade Mc-
 Call and Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Drig-
 g'ers.

 Sam Gibbons, leader of the stu-

 In a letter to the members of
 the faculty and staff of the Uni-
 versity, President Tigert referred
 to the Red Cross drive which be-
 gan March 1, and said, "The Uni-
 versity of Florida has always par-
 ticipated in these drives, and the
 response from the University in
 previous years has been very lib-
 eral. We have met every quota
 that has assigned us and I hope
 that we sha:; maintain this fine
 record this year."
 The quota for contributions
 from the administrative, teach-
 ing, and maintenance members
 of the staff has been set atl
 $2,000. According to Mr. D. R.
 (Billy) Matthews, chairman of
 the committee and co-ordinator
 of the drive on the campus, there
 will be no solicitations nor spe-
 cial drives to raise this money
 from the staff. Whatever is
 given will be voluntary.
 Copies of President Tigert's let-
 ter were sent Thursday to all
 members of the faculty and staff.
,These letters outline how the
campaign will be carried out.
Those who wish to make contribu-
tions will turn them in to the

 A notice will soon appear:
"Qualifications for membership in
Florida Blue Key should be turned
in ."
 What will this notice, or even
the name Florida Blue Key mean
to you ?
 Probably not much if you
haven't been at the University
long enough to familiarize your-
self with the various campus or-
ganizations.
 So if you're new on campus, or
an old student back after several
years and perhaps a little rusty on
University spirit, traditions, and
activities, here's what Florida
Blue Key is and what happened in
the organization during the war:
 To start with the present and
future, which is usually more in-
teresting than the past: Eight
Florida Blue Key members re-
turned from the service and early
this month reactivated their or-

ers were initiated Mar. 5, and the
highest honorary organization on
the campus began plans for the
semester.
 At a meeting Tuesday night
 under the leadership of newly
 elected President Nixon Butt,
 Florida Blue Key outlined va-
 rious projects designed to carry
 out the purpose of the organi-
 zation by serving the University
 and fostering a greater spirit
 of unity among Florida men.
 Florida Blue Key was mentioned
 above as an honorary organization.
 It is honorary, but that doesn't
 tell the whole story. Emphasis in
 the organization is put on service
 and leadership in University prob-
 lems; so Florida Blue Key would
 be more appropriately called .an
 honorary-leadership service fra-
 ternity.
 Members in school are active
 members and continue their serv-
 ice to the school. Initiation into

 Why is the word "Florida"

 not just Blue Key? Because
 Florida Blue Key was founded
 on the campus in 1923 and has
 remained a local organization,
 not affiliating with the National
 Blue Key which grew from the
 idea of the Florida group.
 Florida Blue Key was formed to
 bring together leaders from va-

 Johns Heads


 AdministratiOn
 Dr. Roe Lydell Johns, director
 -f the division of administration
 ind finance, Alabama Department
 of Education, has been appointed
 professor cf school administration
 at the University of Florida..
 One of the outstanding men in
 the field of school administration
 in the country, Dr. Johns will aid
 in graduate work in the College of
 Education. He will also also be
 available as a consultant for pub-
 lic schools in the state-as are all
 members of the education facul-
 ty.
 Dr. Johns holds a BS degree
 from Southeastern Missouri State
 Teachers College, an AM and
 PhD degrees from Columbia Uni-
 versity. He has been superinten-
 dent of schools at Hunter and
 Bloomfield, Mo., and professor of
 education at Alabama Polytechnic
 Institute at Auburn. He has been
 with the Alabama State Depart-
 ment of Education since 1936.


 ",1. That the present plans by
 the University, in toto, be speed-
 ily completed. Present facilities
 need to be tripled at least.
 "2. That employees be required
 to pay for all china broken by
 their negligence.
 "3. That the. space below the
 steam tables be enclosed with slid-
ing dsors to accommodate the
temporary storage of plates so
that food will not cool before be-
ing eaten..
 "4. That eggs be cooked in five
different ways: straight-up, over-
light, medium, hard, and scram-
bled.
 "5. That the cafeteria open by
 7:15 in the morning instead of
 7:30.
 "6. That the Flo-rida Union soda
fountain serve eggs in the morn-
ing and to be open by 7:15 instead
of 7:30.
 "7. That new stoves for the
kitchen and new ovens for the
bake shop be obtained as soon as
possible.
 "8. If milk can be obtained
 cheaper from other concerns
 then buy it from thenn"
 The committee reported that ir
 regard to finances the monthly
 net result is no profit. During the
 period September through Decem-
 ber of last year the cafeteria lost
 about 200 dollars a month. The
 surplus fund, accumulated while
 Army units were o-n the campus
 now stands at about 4.0,000 dol-
 lars. Breakage costs are covered
 by the surplus fund, and, if no
 appropriations are forthcoming
 from the state, this fund will fi-
 nance necessary repairs and ad-
 ditions.
 Mliost of the food purchased by
 the cafeteria is obtained from
 wholesalers in Jacksonville. This
 includes primarily meats and
 similar items; most vegetables
 are purchased locally. In con-
 servation of food, the committee
 found that vegetables left-over
 from dinner are served for sup-
 'per and the extras froni this
 meal are thrown away.
 The same baker has worked in
 the cafeteria for the past 20 years
 and the cafeteria says that if
 there has been any decrease in the
 quality of pastries it is because
 of the sugar shortage.


 A restricted enrollment policy
 for women in the University of
 Florida Summer Session, hereto-
 fore completely co-educational,
 was outlined today by officials.
 The policy was recommended by
 a faculty committee studying the
 crisis in University enrollment,
 and was adopted by the Board of
 Control at its recent meeting in
 Tallahassee.
 Women will be admitted to the
 two terms this summer if:
 (1) They are graduate stu-
dents;
 (2) They hold contracts in a
Florida school for the coming
year;
 (3) They, are wives of veterans
whose husbands are enrolled in the
University; or N
 (4) They have completed two
years of college anc are seeking
training in agriculture, architec-
ture, engineering, 'law, or phar-
macy.
 In approving the policy, the
 Board of Control said that it was
 not a policy of opposing women
 students, but was rather an ex-
 pedient to arrive at a solution of
 che joint use of facilities at both
 the University of Florida and the
 Florida State College for Women.
 They said the majority of vet-
 erans enrolled at the University

 Robert Frost Is

 Guest Speaker

 At University
 Speaking to a large audience
 in the University of Florida aud-
 itorium last night, Robert Frost,
 noted American poet, explained
 the "constant symbol" in poetry
 and read selections of his works.
 Frost told an audience of stw-.
 dents, faculty, and townspeople
 that when one begins a poem he
 begins his constant symbol in
 the first line. Length of line,
 meter, and rhyme all become con-
 stant in a single poem but are
 set by the author within the
 first few lines. They become a
 "deepening commitment" and the
 poet must conform to that form
 he has set. Likening this to
 life, Frost said it is the same in
 marriage and war when an in-
 dividual must follow his commit-
 ment for success.
 Speaking of metaphor, Frost
 called it the garnish of poetry,
 "the way cloves are stuck into
 a ham." Metaphor is not the
 core, for the thought or topic
 is the "ham."
 One of America's greatest poets,
 Frost has won the Pulitzer Prize
 for poetry four times. His poems
 are read in schools and homes
 throughout the nation. He was
 brought to the University by the
 College of Arts and Sciences
 Lecture Program series.


 Tigert Calls SEC
 Conference Friday
 President John J. Tigert of the
 Southeastern Conference said to-
 day he had asked presidents of
 member institutions to meet with
 an executive conference meeting
 he has called for Friday in Bir-
 mingham.
 He said there were several prob-
 lems facing the conference which
he thought should be discussed. The
conference meeting will precede an
SEC coaches meeting Saturday.


nent alumni.
 So now you ask, "What does a
guy have to do to get a bid to
Florida Blue Key? Just be a
BMOC?" The answer is, "Yes, as
a minimum requirement."
 To be eligible for membership
 you have to meet certain "pa-
 per" qualifications by partici-
 pating in at least three fields of
 extra-curricular activities and
 distinguishing yourself in one.
 Some of these fields are student
 government, politics, publica-
 tions, service anil organizations.
 After you meet this require-
 ment, members vote on you con-
 sidering all factors, such as hon-
 esty, integrity, and honor.
 New members are pledged into
 Florida Blue Key in November
 and April. At present there are
 18 active members. All other
 members are inactive; these in-
 clude both honorary and alumni
members.

was not officially reactivated until
this semester, a group of 13 men
was pledged in the fall
 Frank Duckworth 'and Johnny
 Joca, former members who re-
 turned last fall, served as chair-
 man and secretary, respectively,
 of this group. The ten pledges
 still in school were initiated
 Mar. 5, and officers were elect-
 ed. They are Nixon Butt, presi-
 dent; Harry Parham, vice presi-
 dent; Herman Lee, treasurer;
 and Ralph Blank, secretary.
 Plans are now being made for
 consideration of applications for
 membership made during the dor-
mant war period by students not
now in school. Many students
made great contributions to the
University during the critical per-
iod and will not be overlooked by
Florida Blue Key.
