STRANGE DUCK
Lake Fill-In Marks Start Of New Union
Work toward the new Student Union has started in a surprising way. For a number of days, students eating on the terrace of the Union were awed by the sight of a bulldozer pushing tons of* silt into the Student Lake.
This crowd-gathering spectacle was explained by Mr. George Miller, resident engineer for the University, as being “the first step in the plan for a new Student Union that will include among its attractions an extended cafeteria service and swimming pool."
“The new Union will need more room than is presently available,“ Mr. Miller added, “and the only way to get the required land is by filling in a part of the lake.“
Although the sight of so much
silt being pushed into the lake is not a pretty one, the final results should please everyone.
In the meantime, the students passing through or eating on the terrace will have to put up with some disconcerting sights.
The ducks will now have to climb up onto the new land to get at the crumbs thrown them by fowl-minded folk.
The ladder that led down to the boats docked by the side of the Union look a bit odd now that they lead to nothing.
The physical plant decided to begin this work at the present time, although actual construction on the new Student Union will not commence for some time. They received the opportunity to purchase the silt needed for the operation for a greatly reduced price if it were bought right now.
The eyesore that now exists behind the Union will have to be borne with pleasant thoughts of the great new edifice that will eventually rise to the benefit of all. The ducks will just have to figure out their own solution. Perhaps they can join the line in the Snack Shoppe.

19 New Hostesses Will Greet Alumni
No one can accuse our Student Government of turning up unprepared to meet the alumni during their Homecoming week. In anticipation of the need for guides, 19 girls were selected to fill openings on UM’s Hostess Committee.
They can be identified by their green and white Hostess tags this week.
Out of 147 girls who tried out, the following are official
Hostesses: Gigi Auerbach, June August, Bibsy Drackrtt. Sonya Glasser, Susan Isbell, Lynn L Chapelle, Judy Markenson, Kathy Merine, Karen Murphy. Lynda Padrick, Caroline Register, I>eonre Rich, Frances Rizzo, Gail Schuman, Mary Stansbury, Sandy Stedman, Pamela Weaver, Judy White, and Louise Wimberg.
The following girls comprise the original 11 Hostesses, bring-
ing the committee’s total to 30: Dianne Dalbey, Dorthea Gordon, Peggy Johnson, Malinda Jolley, Beth Knoche, Rhea Pincus, Beverly Schwatt, Jackuie Stifel. and Ellen Wacher. Roberta Rabino-witz is Head Hostess.
Eleven assistant hostesses were also chosen. However, they will not wear tags. If any of the above girls drop out, these girls will become hostesses.
Judges for the Hostess Com-
mittee were Bill Cornell, Bill Frey, Jerry Gross, and Roberta RahinowRz. The girls were judged on appearance, beauty, poise, personality, and knowledge of the campus.
The girls assisted at last Wednesday's Alumni Night, and Thursday, they met the North Carolina team at the airport.
Starting Nov. 9, they will be hostessing at the USG lecture series.

FinallyArrives
Construction of floats, decoration of houses and dorms, coronation of the queen, generation of spirit at the pep rallies—and now the weekend the campus awaited is here.
From the gridiron at the Orange Bowl tonight to the dance floor at the Miami Beach Convention Hall tomorrow evening, alumni, faculty, administration and student body will celebrate the 35th annual Homecoming weekend.
Tonight the breaking spirit will be aimed at spurring the hapless Hurricanes to their third consecutive homecoming victory when they meet the Tarheels from North Carolina at 8:15 p.m.
Halftime will provide the opportunity for spectators to meet the newly crowned queen, Frances McLaughlin, at which time she will make her regal address. Riding on the royal float will also be her attendants, representatives of each of the undergraduate classes.
The queen will make her second appearance at the Homecoming dance tomorrow evening where she will be presented with a bouquet and proclaimed Queen of the Ball.
Billy Butterfield and his orchestra will provide the musical background for the climactic event of the 35th annual Homecoming. There will also be a second band to provide change of pace music during intermissions.
Coeds’ curfew has been extended an hour from 1 to 2 a.m. The dance begins at 9 p.m. and concludes with the alma mater at 1 am.
Omega, the honorary which recognizes the outstanding Greeks on campus, will tap during the course of the evening.
