SHE'S OCR HONEY: CAROI-E REINHART
Wearing Her New Title Well
UMs
Trumpeteer Queen
By KEN GOLDMAN
A trumpet-playing, Dean’s-list. coed broke Hurricane tradition today by being the first girl to be chosen a Hurricane Honey twice. She previously won it last semester.
The reason: two weeks ago our brown - haired, green - eyed Carole Reinhart was named National College Queen.
The contest—based on brains and beauty—won her a tour of Europe, a wardrobe of knitted apparel and scholarships to the Institute of Creative Communications as well as the Dramatic Workshop in New York.
"I was so excited,” Carol claims j about winning the college queen 1 title, “that I kissed all the jud-

Attending UM on a music scholarship, Carole has mastered
seven instruments, including the trumpet, piano, cello, french horn, baritone, cornet and harp.
But the trumpet is her true love. “I’m going to be the greatest trumpet player in the world," she claims confidently.

With faces abeaming and Dinks firmly implanted, the University of Miami’s 1960 freshman class jubilantly strides the campus, always polite and aimin' to please.
But ask them lo recite the freshman poem and you’re liable to get a Bronx cheer.
"To much abuse displayed by upperclassmen," was the reason given for dropping last year's form of frosh misery.
But the Dink lives on and for good reason, too. Historically speaking, its evolution traces back from a “rat cap” to a Dink in 34 years.
When the University hurled open its doors in 1926. the

New Rules On Parking In Effect
New 720 Replica Ready In Fall ’62
A campus-wide clamping-down on parking and traffic violators took effect this week, according to UM Executive Vice President Dr. Robert Johns.
In addition to the fine imposed by the metropolitan court, the University has instituted a three-point policy.
First offenders will be counselled and warned against future violations. After a second offense, the student will lose the privilege of driving on campus. Third offenders will be expelled.
“Undoubtedly, two or three students will have to be shipped home before the word circulates and students realize that we’re serious,” Dr. Johns predicted. “Then parking problems will cease.”
Dr. Johns explained that UM is not hard on car-driving stu- I dents.

Another 720 Dormitory costing approximately $2.7 million, which will be occupied by the fall of 1962, was UM Vice-President and Treasurer Eugene Cohen’s answer to the admissions increase.
Cohen said that though the 1962 opening is not yet definite, he foresees no obstacle to prevent it.
“The preliminary application for a Federal Loan under the Housing Act has been approved and once the details are taken care of, I see no reason why the loan shouldn't go through,” Cohen said.
The present 720 was built under a similar long-term, low interest rate loan in 1958.
Further on the structure. Dean of Students, Noble B. Hendrix, said it will house approximately 720 girls and will be a near replica of the present building.

newly organized Pep Club initiated its own “rat cap"— a green beanie with a short orange bill.
From this humble beginning this beanie has metamorphosed into UM’s traditional frosh Dink.
Actually, the Dink has a practical purpose. It enables shy, awkward, and often trembling freshmen to identify each other on sight. Further, it makes them the target for upperclassman hilarity.
Although not for the styleconscious. this unusual chapeau has undergone several changes since its creation. With a longer bill, the Dink once resembled the All-American baseball cap. In a more militant period it
was patterned after a French Foreign Legioneer's cap.
I-AST YEAR the Pep Club, under past president Harry i Duberson, arrived at the present style which emulates the popular sailor cap favored by the Fort Lauderdale crowd. When ! "Dink days" are over, and the topper loses its campus signifi-; cance, it may be burned or used for assorted and sundry pur-! poses.
Freshmen may find it the
bane of their existence, but they’ll be stuck with the Dink for about five weeks according j to Jack Packar, chancellor of | the Student Court.
Fines for violating the stem Dink edicts will range from 50 cents to $2 for the first offense or one to two hours work for U.S.G. Second and third summons bring a stiffer penalty.
THESE LOWL \ ones who err j from the path of tradition will receive their penalties in a regular court session presided over | by Packar and Chief Deputy j Jerry Nixon.
Until U.S.G. cuts the tie that binds, the frosh and his Dink are joined together—for better ! or worse.
Spring Start SU Ambitions OK’ed By Ike

Hurtle»»! M»■»(!■( Ctittr
The UM today readied final applications for a new $1.5 million Student Union, a week after President Eisenhower signed into law a housing bill containing the school’s appropriation.
An administration spokesman said groundbreaking probably would begin in six to eight months.
University Vice President-Treasurer Eugene Cohen railed the final applications “a mere formality,” and expressed confidence that there would be no trouble obtaining the money.
Acting on a Senate subcommittee’s unanimous approval, both houses of Congress passed a $1,581,000,000 housing and urban renewal bill which included plans for a UM union. (Congress had adjourned when the President signed the bill.)
Before school opened, Dr. Thurston Adams, director of student activities, told the Hurricane that construction would start four to six weeks after the bill is passed.
But upon arriving here later in the summer, Dr. Robert Johns, executive vice-president, threw out the scheduled plans because “it took everything into account but the student.”
“The plans looked like they’d been designed by a drunken Chinaman,” he said.
Dr. Adams said that as far as he knew the vice-president only turned down plans for a new food services center. Mrs. Dorothy Johnson, cafeteria manager, had complained that “insufficient consideration" was given the cafeteria.
Original designs for the union included a swimming pool, a post office and bookstore, an athletes' dining room, an arts and crafts room, a 12-lane bowling alley, a new coffee shop, a tropical garden and a table tennis area.
The Federal Housing and Home Authority government loan is for the entire cost of the project.
In the spring of ’58 the student body overwhelmingly voted to assess themselves an additional $10 per semester. Half was to go toward the building of a library and the other half toward a new student union.
ID Cards Required
UM students presenting identification cards at home football games will be admitted free to the reserved cheering section.
There are only two more weeks to get ID cards.
Photographing crews have moved from room S110 in the Memorial Building to temporary building 822. They will continue to snap photos until 5 p.m. Friday. October 7.
