/ uur tup Kunnein.uver, with Duquesne, Bucknell and ¡Georgia!
By Larry Tremblay, ’37
Duquesne over Miami, Bucknell over Miami, and Georgia over Miami—the pickings of the nation’s great football dopesters . . . and all wrong!
After we whupped Duquesne one of the experts might have said, “Upset!” Then, after we took Bucknell, “Well, I got a bunch of the others O.K. Besides, who are these Hurricanes? Just a team from a small school down South getting a little smart and playing away over their heads. One thing is sure, they’ll never beat Georgia. Here goes, Georgia over Miami.”
And there it was, folks, in the morning papers MIAMI MOWS DOWN GEORGIA!
And the expert’s coffee was a little hot that morning. He has a good excuse for feeling his neck, though. Who were we to beat such teams as Duquesne, Bucknell, and then Georgia? We all hoped we would, sure, but there was a heap of doubt beneath our fond hopes. Wasn’t there?
From the Georgia side of the field where I huddled deep among* people whose cars bore Georgia plates, I watched those black panted boys kick~the ball all over the field during the warm-up, and the way they snagged long passes made me certain they wore rubber gloves. They looked like Pitt, Notre Dame, Tennessee, and a few others just down for a holiday.
In the first few minutes of play I was yelling my hat off and just sounded like a cricket chirping compared to the cheering that was being put out by those around me. And no wonder . . . Georgia was going to town!
Across the field it was different. They were yelling for our team, and as a fellow I know would have said it, “They were making more noise than a threshing-machine on a drunk.” Then that bird Fordham cut through for his nice long run and don’t think the Georgia coaches and the team bench-warmers needed any tickling in the ribs to make them laugh. They gurgled over.
At the half our band came through with the finest show of the season, and that is really saying something because

Dr. Rippy, who has taught at both the University of California and Duke University, is the author of an impressive number of books, among which are: “The United States and Columbian Oil," and “Early Rivalry of the United States and Britain in I.atin America.” In 1927 he received a Guggenheim fellowship and in 1928 a Carnegie fellowship, which enabled him to study widely in his chosen field, the foreign policies and world relationships of Latin America.
Juan Clemente Zamora, professor of political science at the University of Havana, has been asked to be the second speaker. Other noted men who will participate are: Don Homero Seris, member of the Centro de Estudios Históricos in Madrid; Dr. John Tate Lanning of Duke University; Dr. Wilfrid Hardy Calcott of the University of South Carolina; and Dr. Richard Pattee, senior divisional assistant in the Division of Cultural Relations of the Department of State.
Dr. Rippy’s lecture will be the first in a series of 18, to be presented in weekly groups. Each week is to be divided into series, one of which will be at 2:30 on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday afternoons, and the other at 8:30 on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings. Students desiring to attend these lectures will receive one credit for the course.

Lacking a quorum of its membership, the Student Senate apportioned none of the $280.15 balance in the treasury at its regular meeting Tuesday noon, but dealt decisively with two minor issues on the senate tapis.
The senators put their official seal of approval on the traveling cut petition signed by 300 members of the student body asking for extension of time before and after Christmas vacation to allow for the coming and going of students who live out of town.
Acting with uniform decision, the senate refuted a bill for a shed which the freshmen had confiscated for one of their pre-game bonfires.
These items disposed of, President Joe Thomas brought up a suggestion for a Senate-sponsored interfraternity dance. The senators discussed the possibility of a “big-name” band for such an affair, criticizing the Interfraternity Council for its do-nothing attitude this year towards furthering better feeling among campus social organizations.
Pauline Corley Guest Of English Honors
Pauline Corley, literary editor of the Miami Herald, will be guest speaker at the next meeting of the English Honors society at 8 p.m. Thursday, December 15, in the social hall. Her subject will be “Evaluating Modern Books.”

As the society lacks sufficient funds to buy all the latest books at once, it would gratefully welcome any contributions from students or faculty.

Zamora Names Tour Schedule For Cuba Visit

Highlights of the trip will include visits to University of Havana, Belen College, National Art School, and government Technical schools, visit to Batista’s new Civic-Military Institute and a tour of all places of interest in Havana.
The tour is arranged to include every expense, transportation, hotel, meals, at the sum of $46.50. Arrangements must be made with Dr. Robert McNicoll in room 224 before December 15. The trip will not be offered unless a minimum of twenty enroll by this date.
Chadderdon Frees Abused Freshmen
Incensed by repeatedly hearing the freshman class described as lousy, Donald Chadderdon, secretary of the class, interrupted Bob Olson’s blustering speech and protested at a recent freshman meeting. For once Mr. Olson did not roar, “Quiet!”
He said, “This is what I’ve been hoping to see since your first meeting. At last someone has enough spirit to protest for the freshmen.”
The action started by Chadderdon led the class in subsequent meetings to organize work for the homecoming bonfire and to discuss plans for the annual Freshman Frolics. Money was needed to pay for gas in the trucks used to haul wood, so led by the freshman band, the class went to the cafeteria and passed around some dinks.
Liberated by Chadderdon, many freshmen were willing to show their spirit. Evelyn Ausländer breathlessly explained that the freshmen had done nothing because they feared the consequences. She ended with, “Fear is what makes dictators.”
At a meeting Wednesday it was announced that freshmen do not have to wear their dinks and that all restrictions are void. Tentative plans were made for the Frolics, which will be held after Christmas. There will be a floor show, composed of freshman talent, along with the dance and carnival.
To defray the costs of the frolics a suggestion was made that each freshman pay five cents a week dues. Frank Sessler, freshman president, announced, “The Frolics are going to be really good!”
Administration Grants Holiday Traveling Cuts
To the Faculty and the Student Body:
Our Christmas vacation will begin at 12:30 noon Saturday, December 17 and end at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, January 3, 1939. As this holiday is to extend over a period longer than two weeks, we should have student cooperation towards absolutely no unexcused absences through next week and the week of January 3. If any unexcused absences do occur, such cutting of classes to extend one’s holiday will be regarded as a serious neglect of duty. Certainly any student of those recently reported to the Scholarship Committee as being in D or F classifications at midterm should not indulge in any cutting of classes from now until the end of the semester, for any such neglect would seem to the inslructors concerned to be a direct indication to be failed on the course.
President Ashe, in response to a petition from a number of the students whose homes are more than 1000 miles from the University has decided to grant to such students if they go home and are not back by January 3 a two day extension of absence as a traveling allowance of excused absence — provided, however, that this concession shall not relieve any student from mak-up instructors’ requirements for instruction missed on January 3 and 4.

Dead Pan Marvin Steals Show as Students Hiss Madigan, (the Rat!)
When the noisy student audience finally settled down to listen to the University Players Tuesday evening, it found “Her Temporary Husband” quite the most amusing piece that has been presented hereabouts for a long time.
With accompanying hissing and booing of the villain and the cheers for the hero, the play progressed with much interest on the part of the onlookers. Madigan was as obnoxious as he could be and never was the audience fond of him—except possibly when he appeared in the fetching, “too divine” bathing suit. Maxwell Marvin’s “Judd” was all the funnier for his dead pan expression and droll Cockney accent. Even he almost strangled trying to repress a smile when Clarence Topping did his bathing beauty act.
Due to the fact that it was very well cast, the play moved along smoothly and quickly, despite the necessary pauses on the part of the cast to wait for the laughter to die down.
The story was concerned with
Blanche Ingram’s (Peggy O’Donnell) marriage to one of the inmates of Dr. Gordon Spencer’s sanitorium. Clarence Topping, her fiance, (Madigan) had conceived the plan to outwit Blanche’s dead father, who provided in his will that she would lose her fortune if she married Topping. If Blanche married an old man with one foot in the grave, on his death, she would be free to have the money ind Topping. A perfect plan indeed, had not Tom Burton (Walker Cunningham) who had fallen in love with Miss Ingram when he saw her eating spaghetti, disguised himself and taken the place of the aged bridegroom. The rest of the play is concerned with his efforts to woo her and win her affection. When he finally shows Topping up for the blackguard he was, Blanche falls into his arms.
But there’s another romance. Dr. Spencer, handsomely impersonated by Dr. Satin, loves his nurse, Kate Tanner (Marie Coleman). She leaves the sanitorium to be a companion to

Tschaikowsky, Wagner On Season’s First Program; Elman’s Solo Ends Concert
Under the direction of Dr. Arnold Volpe the University of Miami Sym-hony Orchestra will open its el-sventh winter concert series in Miami Tgh School orchestra hall tonight ■it 8:30. Mischa Elman, considered one of the greatest living violinists, will be the guest soloist.
Program for the season’s initial concert includes the works of Composers Wagner, Tschaikowsky, and Brahms.
Listed on the program is the Prelude to “Die Meistersinger.” Wagner worked on this opera for more than twenty years. Critics described the prelude as “chaos,” and said Wagner could not write melody. The opening of Prelude is a pompous march theme. Following this is the motif “Awakening Love.” Another march known as the “Banner” motif is next. Then follows the themes of the “Prize ong.” In the conclusion of the Prelude the three motifs are developed together.
Peter Tschaikowsky’s Symphony No. 6 in B Minor has been called his “Swan Song.” The first performance of the “Symphony Pathétique” took place in 1893, with Tschaikowsky conducting. Three weeks later it was given as a memorial to the composer who had died of cholera. Dr. Volpe was present at both performances.
Broadcast Caesar’s ’Great Moments’Fri.
Second in the series of radio dramatizations, “Great Moments in the History of Oratory” is now in rehearsal and is slated to be aired over WQAM next Friday, December 9, at 9 a.m., the originally scheduled time having been changed by the studio.
This month’s “great moment” has to do with Brutus and Marc Antony, and is an adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Julifis Caesar.”
Cast includes: Lawrence Blank, Dick Roberts, Milton Wasman, Sam Conrad, James Goeser, Lloyd Whyte, Bernard Millard.
