11 Outstanding Seniors Elected By Popular Vote
Candidates To Represent University of Miami in ‘Amer. College Yearbook’
Eleven seniors were elected by popular vote this morning to represent the University of Miami in the 1938 edition of “The American Col-lege Yearbook.”
Those elected to the “Hall of Fame for 1938 Graduates” include Bob Masterson who led with a total of 48 vote«; Tom Condon, 46; Florence Fowler, 43; Dave Hendrick, 42; Gardner Mulloy, 41J Carl Fien, 35; Audrey Rothenberg, 30; James McLaughlin, 29; Helen Couch, 24 ; and Mary Frohberg and Allen Baker who tied for tenth place with a vote of 21 each. The tie for tenth place will be decided by Dr. Jay F. W. Pearson, secretary of the University, to whom the list has been submitted.
The purpose of this yearbook of all colleges is three-fold: First, "to provide a dignified and permanent annual reference book for giving national scrutiny to a group which contains many of our future leaders. Second, “to give national recognition to the splendid work which our educational institutions are doing in producing better trained and more broadly educated young men and women of a higher type.’ And third, “to serve as an incentive for students to develop those all-around qualities which will make them truly representative of their college or university; and to be of material assistance to those included in the book in securing a wider choice of career jobs upon graduation.”
The page in the yearbook featuring the University of Miami will show the photographs and citation biographies of each senior selected, together with a statement by the president of the University, and several familiar campus scenes. Each biography will cite the reason why the person was selected, give name, age, name of parents, home address, course, preparatory school and fraternity affiliations.
Harry E. Fry, a New York advertising man, is editor and pubUsher of “The American College Yearbook.” The advisory committee includes Dr. R. G. Bressler, president Rhode Island State College; Dr. C. C. Williams, president Lehigh Umver-sitv S. F. Bretske, comptroller, University of Chattanooga; A. C. Zum-brunnen, dean of students, Southern Methodist Uniersitv; Dr. John S. Nol-len, president, Grinnell College; Dr. r. B. von Kleinsmid, president, University of Southern California; and Dr. C. V. Boyer, president, Univer-sity of Oregon.
Not content with covering themselves with glory, members of the University Law School are now endeavoring to add dignity to the inundation by wearing attire and demeanor to distinguish them from the common herd, so to speak.
Our embryonic mouthpieces, in open defiance of the elements, will appear at Friday's game garbed in white suits and shoes. The whiteness of their shirts will be relieved by a black tie. And their snowy appearance will be topped off by a panama hat. Seniors, rich in years and steeped in wisdom, will carry canes, either for the purpose of impressing their (more humble contemporaries or else

Not Playing "Hard to Get”
But don’t misunderstand. Our lawyers are not playing "hard to get.” They are simply following the precedent established by other law schools in the country which provides that, by reason of seniority and greater academic achievement, members of the law schools are entitled to what respect and dignity they may accumulate. And respect they certainly

deserve, for they have established a definite precedent in the University for cooperation and determination. Their activities for the year are many. They have taken over the novelty concession booth at the Burdine Orange Bowl and are making it a paying proposition. A mammoth dance is scheduled by them for the night of January 1. Arrangements are being made to hold it in the Miami Biltmore ballroom with a nationally known band providing the music.

University Host to 'Fighting Gaels’ in Tuesday Assembly
The Fighting Gaels of St. Mary’s College, California, together with a group of about two hundred rooters were entertained in a special assembly yesterday morning. The Gaels who have just completed an engagement with Fordham University are returning to California via the southern route.
After several spirited marches by the band, President Tom Condon welcomed the visitors to the University of Miami. He then introduced Bob Masterson, Hurricane captain, who expressed his regret at St. Mary’s defeat by Fordham and his hope that the Hurricanes may someday meet the Gaels out on the coast.
The St. Mary’s cheerleader then introduced Coach Slip Madigan of the Fighting Gaels who expressed the sincere appreciation of the St. Mary’s group for hospitality extended them by the University of Miami student body and football team, and assured Miami that St. Mary’s was very solicitous of a Hurricane victory in Friday night’s game with Drake University. He sincerely wished, he added, that the Fighting Gaels could stay in Miami to cheer the Hurricanes to victory since "Florida and California must stick close together.” He concluded by assuring the Hurricanes of a hearty welcome In California should they ever make the trip.
The band presented a symphonic arrangement of “Londonderry Air” which was followed by Miami cheers and songs. Singing of the Alma Mater closed the assembly.
Iowans Boast High-Scoring Offensive
Hardingmcn in Good Condition ; Fear Visitors Deadly
Aerial Attack
I
Coach Jack Harding’s Hurricane football machine, which has been picking up speed with each week, will have its first opportunity to display its power this week to many returning alumni when they face Drake University’s Bulldogs from Des Moines, Iowa, in Burdine Orange Bowl Friday night. Kickoff 8:15 p.m.
In Good Condition
The Hardingmen, after a week of rest, are in good physical condition for the battle. The rest has given the team a chance to recuperate from former injuries and they will be able to face the Des Moines lads with full strength. Joe Dixon, injured in the Catholic U contest is fully recovered and George Pittard, brilliant flank-man will be able to play. Stan Raski, ill with flu for the last few days, is up and around again and will be able to see action.
This week Coaches Harding and Morris stressed aerial defense and the varsity showed plenty of fine defensive work. Miami will depend on her usual versatile offense in the tilt.
Bulldogs Are High Scorers
The Bulldogs from Drake bring with them a heavy, offensive machine, with a mixed attack. They are a high scoring team, running up 230 points this season. It isn’t improbable that Miami will have to do plenty of offensive work to take this game as the Bulldogs have been held scoreless this season by but one team, the powerful Irish of Notre Dame.
The Iowans are a veteran team bringing with them 20 letter men. They are rated the greatest team in Drake history, having lost but two games this season to Tulsa University and Notre Dame, two nationally known outfits. The Drake boys have overwhelmed all other opponents and are anxious to close their successful season with a victory over the Hurricanes.
Manders Brother* Are Threat*
The Manders brothers, Pug and Phil, are reputed to be dynamite. They are supplemented in their offensive work by little 155 pound Bud Seiter, a speed merchant. The line has two big tackles in Herb Hedlund, a crashing 200 pound tackle who is the star of the Iowans’ forward wall; and Charley Lyon, a 180 pound guard. From end to end the Bulldogs are tough.
Coach Harding, when queried as to his views on the impending contest, remarked, “Although the week’s rest has aided us to get injuries cleared up, we cannot tell whether the layoff helped us or not until after the boys take the field against Drake. The boys have the spirit and have shown improvement in each game. Again we enter the clash the underdog but have had good fortune in this role all season and I hope it holds out. We’ll give them a good fight, that’s sure.”
U. of M. Pep Meeting On Air Tomorrow
Tomorrow night’s "Pep Meeting of the Air” has been arranged in celebration of the University of Miami homecoming. The program will go on over station WQAM at ten o’colck.
Speakers will include Tom Condon, president of the student body, who will deliver a brief message of welcome to the alumni; and Dr. Bowman P. Ashe and Dr. Jay F. W. Pearson, president and secretary of the University, respectively, who will also extend welcome messages.
Everett Clay, sports editor of the Miami Herald, will assist Maurice Fink, “the Sophomore Selector” in interviewing Captain Bob Masterson and Coach Hart Morris of the Hurri-canes.
The fifteen-minute program is sponsored by the Miami Federal Savings and Loan Association.
