'Little Eva' Riclcel Takes Honors and Oil
While her theatrical colleagues look on, Adele “Lil Eva” Rickel accepts a generous offering of castor oil from Rita Bornstein. It all started with an overdose of candy and a tummy ache—and it ended with the audience in stitches. Helping with the emergency ministrations are, left to right: Eddie Baumgarten, Peggy O’Donnell, Edith Rosenkrantz, Walter Cunningham, Jean Moore, and Ed Turner.
Fine Performances Make 'Eva the Fifth’ Acceptable
Freshman Presidency In Run-Off
Schemer. Sessler Vie For Head Office Monday; Senators Elected Friday
At a closely supervised meeting last Friday the freshmen held the initial part of their class elections with but few minor disorders and irregularities. Completion of the election and the run-off for the presidency between Frank Sessler and Milton “Lefty” Schemer will be held next Monday at 12:30, according to official announcement.
Richard Tucker polling 112 votes, Helene Putnam, 101, and Ed Turner, 100, were elected senators. Tucker and Turner nre graduates of Miami High school, Putnam a Ponce de Leon graduate.
At the opening of the meeting Joe Thomas, in charge along with members of the Honor Court, asked those who were not members of the freshman class or of the Honor Court to leave the room—He warned that anyone “violently out of order” would be excused from the assembly. Members of the V. C. were stationed around the roo mto keep order.
Nominations for senators were made from the floor. The following were nominated: Richard Tucker, Helene Putnam, Ed Turner, Joseph Krutulis, Rnndloph Dickens, Jack Riley, Frances Isaac, Marcus Jones, Albert Fulton, William Cohen, Bill Wunder. Each candidate introduced himself. The freshmen were instructed to vote for three candidates.
Ballots were rend aloud and tabulated before the assembly. Finding an illegal ballot, Jack Mndigan warned the group that if any padded ballots were found the election would have to be re-run.
Those nominated for the presidency were: Frank Sessler, “Lefty” Schemer, Charles Lovett, Kenneth Hauser, Frnnk Taylor, and Aaron Cross. Cross declined the nomination.
Sessler, former Miami High drum major, nnd Schemer, former Miami High football star, were so close in the race that a run-off election was made necessary.

Senate Bickers Over Last Year’s Reserve Fund
Old Business, Uniforms For Cheerleader Squad Discussed at Meeting
Bickering over the disposal of a surplus in the band account from last year and the appointment of a committee to provide uniforms for the cheerleaders occupied most of the Senate members’ time at their first meeting, Tuesday.
The committee for the purpose of selecting the uniforms was appointed by Student President Joe Thomas, after several of the members had stated how serious they considered the need for improvement in thiB matter. It consists of Frank Kerdyk, school treasurer Hugh Shillington, and Ed Turner. Members were urged to have the outfits available in time for the Florida game Saturday if possible. Six sweaters and two pairs of trousers, four of the latter having been left from last year, will be necessary for the squad according to Turner, who represented the cheerleaders. Appropriation for the purchase will be made from the Senate Reserve fund, there being no separate consideration for this item.
The matter of the apportionment of funds among the various departments was also of concern to the Senate. While the reserve fund, out of which come the appropriations for miscellaneous expenses not included in other funds, contained $5.33, the others were as follows: Debate, $28.-37; Activity Books, $10.37; Dramatics, $14.02; and Band, $204.53, according to Kerdyk’s report. These separate funds have been turned in from last year, and will be preserved until it is decided finally on the percentages to be granted this term. The budgeting wlil have to be done on a somewhat different basis due to the change from the term to the semester plan.
“There's something about a soldier that classifies him as a top-rank sucker,” opines Charles Eisenwinter, University student and spasmodic soldier of fortune.
Charley is that bewhiskered fellow who works with the electrical equipment backstage, but whose thirst for excitement can only be quenched by the real thing: a revolution, f'r instance.
You can’t blame Eisenwinter for never forgetting his experience as a member of an archaeological expedition that he joined in the summer of ’31. For it was a result of his scientific trip to Mexico that he joined the revolutionary forces there to serve as an aviator, infantryman, and a member of the field artillery.
It was in good ole Mehico (phonetic pronunciation) that he encoun-
in amateur productions. Maxwell Marvin, a veteran to the University play enthusiasts, actually was Newton Wampler, country big-shot and small time undertaker who wants to marry Hattie. Along with Adele Rickel, who had the audience practically in stitches as she stormed about the stage playing the part of Oriole, Hattie's little sister, the foremen-tioned helped to cue the newer players along. Walter Cunningham, as Mai Thorne, was the real hero, as he made good so that Hattie would not have to marry to save the show. A newcomer to the little theatre, he was fine and sincere.
Act one showed the difficulties of the troupe as they played “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” in small towns. Jean Moore, as Connie Bard, was a natural as a tough showgirl, tougher indeed than the other supporting member, Peggy O’Donnell. A hissing audience greeted Harry Miles, portraying the stingy manager of the troup, each time he stepped onto the stage. Rex Hall, as the sheriff, and Marie Coleman, as the civic minded “sourpuss” tried to take Oriole to an institution for schooling. Wampler stepped in to save the day and into the life of Hattie.
The scenery for the second act was very good. This act dragged but the dialogue improved. Here the manager left the show and Hattie agrees to marry Wampler if he will give aid to the rest of the cast. Leon Montrose (Eddie Baumgarten) and Lorna Montrose (Edith Rosenkrantz) made a fine appearance here, while Laur-ance Blank was good for several laughs in his part of the general handyman. But it was in the third act that the laughs turned to roars, as the cast presented the death scene of little Eva. Here, full of candy and castor oil, Oriole leaves the latter part of the scene to her big sister. Hattie gives the undertaker the air and steps into her old part.
The cast in general was good and mention must be made of the way Sid Casell made the most of his small part. Ed Turner, another newcomer, was surprisingly good as the sullen Tracey Boone. Chet Cold and the dog “Loud” deserve a round of applause for their individual contributions.
Although the stage of the theatre was a little small for the production of this particular play, everything went off smoothly. Competent directing and fine stage help contributed to the success of the opening night. Possibly the second performance tonight will run more easily as the cast slip into their lines more easily land pick up cues much faster.
tered the most exciting episode of his life when he ran a field piece into the line and fired forty rounds of ammunition point blank. As a result of this show of bravery he received a tin medal, membership in the Order of the Purple Star, and a bullet which he still carries around with him—in his leg.
Since his return to the States in ’33, Charley has made several visits to the old battle grounds. Just this last summer he traveled from Brazil to Canada with a return ticket on a freight train. He plans someday to make his home in South America. In the meantime he is majoring in German, all of which demonstrates his practical preparation for life. There’s no argument about it; according to Eisenwinter, Eisenwinter has had a very interesting life.
According to Charles Eisenwinter, Charles Eisenwinter Has Lived

4 out of 5 May Have Pyorrhea; 9 Out of 10 Think Miami Will Win
Nine out of ten University of Miami fans will be wrong if the Florida Gators beat the Hurricanes tomorrow night. A poll of student opinion taken Tuesday found Miamians confident the Gainesville team will be tripped up and by a large score.
“We’ll beat them 12 to 0,” Freshman Richard Hardie says.
“13 to 6, I hope,” hopes Bernard Sokow.
“I’ll bet anybody a coke that we’ll win by three touchdown,” bets Winifred Wood, sophomore.
“I predict that we’ll win,” declared Speed Marvin, senior. “Let it suffice that we will win.”
Joyce Christenson, junior, has a nice feeling of confidence. “I say we’ll win 42 to 0.”
While Grant Stockdale, senior, is more cautious. “We got a fighting chance” was his prediction.
“I’ve got three to one we’ll beat 'em by 10 points,” says Senior Sam Abbott.
Louise Small, freshman, sets the score at 13 to 7. While Sally Jane Owen, senior, will take on all bets two to one that Miami will win, but doesn’t know by how much.
Bets a Pipe on the Outcome
“I’ve bet a dollar pipe against two packages of tobacco on Miami,” declares Bill Reynolds, freshman.
“13 to 6, favor of Miami,” predicts Tom Condon, ex-president of the student body.
‘Score will be 18 to 6, Miami”; \A1 Lane, junior.
“Let me see, I’ll say 6 to 0, favor of Miami,” said John Parrott, senior.
Cynthia Diamond has a good reason for thinking Miami will win. “Even the Tampa coach said he thought Miami will win; if he thinks so, I do too.”
Senior Stuart Welmarth says, “Our team’s hot these days. If they keep it up, and we hope they do, I think they’ll take Florida by two touchdowns.”
A1 Hickland, freshman law student and graduate from Gainesville, insists being different. “Florida will win by six points.”
“Florida by 12 points,” believes Frank Wetherell, freshmnn law student.
Henry O’Connell, former Florida student, however, predicts Miami will win by seven points.
Melcher Conservative
Ed Melchen, freshman: “I give Miami six points to win over Florida.”
Benny Sinkus, sophomore, declares, “We’ll win by three touchdowns. I’d say five touchdowns but that sounds a little too cocky.”
“Well, I don’t know,” hestated John Creveling, senior. “My brother is going to Florida and he said about half of the Florida kids are betting on Miami.”
Harold Waldeck, sophomore: “The Hurricanes should roar through Florida with a velocity of about 21 to 0.” “I say Miami 20, Florida 6,” says Roger Jarman, sophomore.
Vera Fletcher, senior, says, “The Hurricanes should win over the Gators with a score of 21 to 13. The game will be a fight to the finish because both teams are strong and are in grand shape for a fast game.” “Miami 21, Florida 6, we hope”: Frank Berg, junior.
Bill Wownder, freshman, looked at somQ of the other predictions and snorted, “The optimists! I think Florida will take Miami 14 to 6. It just can’t be helped.”
Tommy Edwards, senior, says, “I think we’re going to win by at least two touchdowns, at least two.” Anyone else wishing to make a prediction on tomorrow night’s game may turn it in to the Hurricane office, room 237, tomorrow before 5:30. Those guessing the correct score will be awarded theater passes as long as they hold out and official commendation in next week’s issue of the Hurricane.

With a hack field that can be manned three-deep and still go places •■nd a line that has permitted a net "ain of only 25 yards in two games, Hurri ane rooters are confident the Gators will be tripped for the third time this year.
Drilled on Pass Defense Susceptible to a strong aerial attack in the past, Coach Jack Harding has spent the last few practice sessions drilling his charges on how to stop the strikes the Codymen will rely upon to keep their state record from being further blemished.
The Hurricanes took Spring Hill into camp, 46-0, on power alone and then when Tampa came to town last Friday turned loose a deceptive attack that completely desparked the Spartans.
And Saturday night the Hurricanes nre expected to augment a running attack that has produced 12 touchdowns in two games with passing of their own.
With the rumors flying thick and fast, the Quarterbacks’ Club will send the entire freshman football squad to Gainesville as a measure to oroteet Touchdown Tommy from kidnap threatening«. The freshmen will occupy front row seats just in case.
But back to the game. Coach Josh Cody has juggled and rejuggled his lineup in nn effort to produce a goal-
