THE OFFICIAL STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI
Vol. XI
Coral Gables, Florida, Thursday Afternoon, September 30, 1937
Number I
Registration Is Well Over 800 Mark
Figures Show Definite Increase Over Last Year’s Enrollment, Says Provin
“Figures available at press time, although still unofficial, indicate a definite increase in enrollment over last year,” Harry Provin, Registrar, announced yesterday.
According to the reference file, compiled by the Hurricane this year for the first time, more than eight hundred students are now registered in the regular division, with the total steadily increasing as registration for the fall term continues.
“If the increase in enrollment in the adult division, which begins this Saturday, comes up to expectation,” Mr. Provin continued, “there will be a total registration in excess of last year's peak, when a total of 1,037 students were enrolled.”
Larger incoming classes of both freshmen and transfer students have already registered. Approximately thirty-five different states other than Florida are represented. Fifty per cent of the students are from Florida, particularly from Dade county.
Increases in registration already have necessitated the opening of additional classes.
With both men’s and women’s dormitories crowded and still more students enrolling every day, 1937-38 is definitely expected to be the biggest year the University has ever had.
Swim Party Saturday
Genial “Pop” Burr, manager of the Venetian Pools, on behalf of the University swimming team, has cordially invited all members of the Student body to a swimming party to be given at the Pools on Saturday night at eight o’clock.
There will be no admission charge. Just bring your bathing suit and be prepared for a swell time!

New Features Included in 1937 M Book
Students Pay Small Fee to Make Up Deficit Incurred By Printing of Edition
Many new features appear in the 1937 edition of the University M book which was edited by Charles Hardee-Priest, Fay Taylor and Mary Frohberg and sponsored jointly by the Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A.
The blue felt cover bearing the usual blocked letter “M” together with the University of Miami seal in white, while the book itself dedicated to eDan Holdsworth, contains a diagram of the University building and the new Roddey Burdine Orange Bowl, a copy of the student constitution, an intramural section, and a feature dedicated to the memory of Phil McKemie, Joseph Eardley and Chaa. Williams.
Four hundred copies of the book were printed by the Parker Art Printing Company for one hundred dollars. Part of the deficit incurred by the cost of printing will be made up by selling the book at ten cents a copy, while the balance may be referred to the Student Senate for student appropriation.
Dramatic Students Complete Summer Stock Engagement
Calling themselves the “University of Miami Repetoire Players,” eleven students of the University dramatics department, and Mrs. Opal E. Motter, dramatics instructor, enjoyed a successful season in Hendersonville, N.C. where they staged stock performances during the summer.
Loading a truck with costumes and other stage properties, the players drove to Hendersonville and took over the Maxwell Farm, where they handled the entire staging and publicity themselves. Plays were presented in the Hendersonville auditorium.
With the object of starting a dramatic movement in that area, the group presented seven plays, running one each week.
Local followers of the theatre were pleased with the performances and expressed a desire for a return engagement next summer.
During the summer Mrs. Opal Euard Motter played the leading feminine role in the Federal Theatre production “Gallows Gate” a drama in three acts by Marjorie Stoneman Douglas. The play ran in Miami during the month of June.

As president of the Student Government Association at the University of Miami, I am honored with the opportunity to welcome back to a great university — old friends and clhssmates who have been separated temporally by the vacation period.

Take part in all activities open to you. Respect all upper classmen and their station. Wear your dinks, they are a symbol of your class. Be guided by your manual.
To all of you, both old and new; I again welcome you.

I.R.C. Advisor Seeks to Acquaint Student With Organization
With an increase of students enrolled in the University the officers of the International Relations Club and Mr. Paul E. Eckel, faculty advisor, wish to acquaint the students with the aims and ideals of the organization.
One question which might be asked is, “What is an International Relations Club?” An International Relation Club is a group of students in a normal school, college or university meeting regularly to discuss relations between nations. These groups are sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace on condition that the members study and discuss world affairs from an unprejudiced and objective point of view. There is a total of eight hundred and five I.R.C. clubs throughout the world. Clubs are most numerous in the United States. Five are established in the state of Florida. Clubs are also organized in thirty-two other countries reaching half-way around the globe to distant Siam and including such parts of the United States as Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippines.
One of the aims of the club is to instruct and enlighten the public through intelligent discussion of world affairs and international problems in order to cultivate and instill in the lives of people the idea that war can be prevented by an appeal to justice and judicial process rather than to armed force.
The Miami club was founded on the University campus by Victor Andres Belaunde in 1929. Mr. Eckel is looking forward to a banner year with many peitinent questions to be discussed. He is anxious that students make use of the many good books which the Foundation sends to our library.
Some of the interesting programs which are being planned, include such topic as “Latin American Relations,” “Highlights in International News,” “Neutrality Legislation vs. Far Eastern Hostilities” and “Can the United States stay out of the Next War?”
All students who are interested in becoming members are cordially invited to see Mr. Eckel or any of the following officers: Eleanor Elizabeth Matteson, president; Miguel Colas, vice-president; Betty Curran, treasurer; C. A. Cold, Jr., pub! city; and Porflrio Per6z, Pan American chairman.
The first meeting will be October 13th at 7:30 in the Social Hall at which time Dr. Robert E. McNichol will be the guest speaker /
Dean Completes Revision of ‘‘Money and Banking,” Popular Text on Finance
Concluding twenty-four months of work, Dr. John Thom Holdsworth, dean of the School of Business Administration, published the sixth revised edition of his textbook entitled “Money and Banking” on August 23. The beautiful black and grey bound edition, published by the D. Appleton Century Company, has been used as a standard since its first publishing in 1914 and is an up-to-the-minute edition, contemporary with the last closing of Congress. The book will be used as a text in Dr. Holdsworth’s class in money and banking.
Dr. Holdsworth is former president of the Pennsylvania Joint Stock Land Bank and vice-president of the Bank of Pittsburgh. He has written several textbooks, among which are “A History of Banking in Pennsylvania,” and “The First Bank of the United States.”
Word has been received by Dr. Holdsworth that “Money and Banking” has already been adopted as a standard text at the University of Illinois and he is anticipating a wide adoption of the book in universities and colleges throughout the country.
Director Reinert Hopes to Have Typical Chorus Singing Well Known Songs
An excellent turnout this week supplied an auspicious thinning to the newly organized Men’s Glee Club of the University, Director Robert Reinert announced yesterday.
Tryouts were held Monday and Wednesday, September 27 and 29, in Room 250, at one o’clock. Many men with previous musical experience took part.
A glee club that will compare favorably with the largest and finest the country has to offer will be Mr. Reinert’s aim. “Ours will be a typical college glee club, singing well-known and liked numbers,” he stated. “For the present, at least, the repetoire of the group will be governed by the tastes of the club as a whole. Programs will get under way as soon as possible, and polishing up on technique will have to wait until the group is established. “In due time, we hope to have an organization with a reputation equalling that of the band and orchestra.
“There will be no limit to the size of the Glee Club, and any man who enjoys singing for the pleasure of it should see me at once in my office, Room 258.”
Sheaffer Is Unperturbed As Band Wins New Praise in First Rehearsal
The first rehearsal of the University of Miami Symphonic band almost brought hand-springs all over Coral Gables from those who were hearing the band for the first time, but Director Walter Sheaffer stood on the podium unaffected. Many of the upper-class members of the band realized the instrumentation and performance was a decided advance ove^. previous years, and they too were unaffected, awaiting Mr. Sheaffer's comment at the end of the rehearsal.

Friday Assembly
Periods will be shortened ten minutes (tomorrow in order to provide for an assembly to be held at 10:1 Or Periods will run as follows:
First period, 8:30 to 9:15; second, period, 9:20 to 10:05; Assembly, 10:10 to 10:45; Third period, 10:50 to 11:35; Fourth period, 11:40 to 12:25.

as ever whipped a big bass drum, did his stuff while several first-termers stood in the shadow of his hypnotic presence and, not far from Bill a long line of tubas supplied additional thunder. The cornet section, headed by first trumpeter Harry McComb could have made the most ardent pacifist enlist for war, and the clarinets, which are plentiful and good this year, trilled up and down the hall and up through the rafters.
If the bands of Sousa, Pryor, Parisian Garde Républicaine, Goldman, and the King’s Own could have been molded into one musical unit it might not have sounded much better than the new university band . . . and yet Sheaffer was not pleased.
Chuck Buehrer headed the trombone section in the absence of Sam Head who is suffering from a case of curvature of the trombone slide, commented in the language of his Stryker, Ohio, town “Gosh durn, it sounds so good I’m flabbergasket!” Two new baritone players brought out parts that were not heard last year, and Eddie King was snaredrumming again after a year’s absence.

Harding Says Most of Squad Is in Good Shape
Sapp. Zelesnick, Grimes and Corcoran, Injured, Not Expected to See Service
Jim Beuiae, assistant Graduate Manager of Athletics, announced yeaterday that there will be several new policies for students put in effect this year at the new Burdine Orange Bowl Stadium during the football games. They are:
(1)	Student« will be required to present other means of identification besides their activity books at the gates.
(2)	At only the Northwest gate will students be admitted.
(3)	There will be a free parking area for students on the north and
I northeast sides of the Sixteenth avenue entrance. Students are | warned to arrive as early as the 1 spaces are expected to fill rapidly.
Following weeks of gruelling prac-| tice, a comparatively new Hurricane team clad in new uniforms will sally out to meet their opponents from Georgia in a brand new stadium to-| morrow night. Starting whistle is at ! 8:30 p.m.
The new uniforms have burnt orange wool jerseys with white numerals, airplane silk pants of the same ■ color and natural finish leather head I guards. The stadium is the Burdine Orange Bowl (see story on page 3).
I And the opponent is the South Geor-! gia State Teachers’ College.
Coach Jack Harding in. an inter-| view yesterday stated that the entire squad was in pretty good shape. “The ends seem to be well taken care of,” he said, “and the centjer position too, Oul tackle situation is rather uncertain, but we have enough boys to throw in there until we find the right combination. The guards look fair.
“In the backfield, I think our quarterback position is pretty well taken care of with Csaky who has had experience and should handle the job in good manner. The halfbacks show good possibilities, but it all depends on timing and experience which these boys need. Dunn, Jones, Douglas and Stockdale should take care of these halfback positions nicely when they acquire the timing.
“Our passing seems to be improving as well as all around blocking. The line is gaining momentum in its charging and pulling out on running plays. Our downfield blocking is gradually improving. The boys have learned the fundamental plays of the new system fairly well and it is only a question of getting a few games under our belts to get the proper timing.”
With only four letter men returning to service, the comparatively green team faces a terrific schedule. A fast charging line is expected to I break up Statesboro’s aerial plays. Four men are still out on injuries.
1 Carl Sapp is nursing a wrenched ankle, Red Corcoran a bad leg and Zomps Zelesnick is recovering from nn appendicitis operation. Grimes has reported for practice, but is being { kept out of service in order to give his leg a chance to heal.
In the starting position tomorrow night will be Masterson at left end; Raski at left tackle, and Guimento in left guard position. Either Dixon or McCrimmon will start at center with Hanley at right guard and Black taking right tackle. The right end position will go to either Bolash or Pit-tard. Csaky will start at quarterback and either Douglas or Stockdale in the right half position. Fleet-footed Eddie Dunn will serve as left half with Chesna as fullback.
The sale of season tickets for the 1937 season has been better than ever before, Stuart Patton stated.
Students bearing activity books will be admitted at the northwest gate, entrance number one. Any student attempting to enter on an activity book not belonging to him will be refused admittance and the book taken up. Student sections are E, F, and half of section EE. Half of section GG is reserved for alumni while the band will occupy the lower half of E. Students are requested to park their cars on 16th avenue.
The game will be played as scheduled regardless of weather conditions since the new stadium is equipped with an elevated field making possible complete drainage.
