Superintendent Praises Florida’s Climate Where 'Everything Grows’
Concert Course Is Scheduled For Next Term
One Credit Will Be Given For Symphony Attendance; Apply To Dean of Music
Any student who is not a member of the University symphonic orchestra will be eligible for a new one credit course to be offered by the University during the winter term.
In the new course, which has not yet been numbered, students will be required to attend each of the six concerts to be presented by the University Symphony orchestra with eminent soloists during the winter term and write a report of not less than three hundred words and not more than six hundred words on each concert. Each report will be due the first Wednesday following each Monday evening concert.
Registration for this course will not be held at the regular time, but registration cards will be available at Miss Bertha Foster’s office and the Registrar’s office. Students who successfully complete the course will then have their cards OK’d by Miss Foster and present them to the Registrar, who will record the credit.
Those planning to take the course are cautioned, however, to be sure they count this credit in making up their schedule, as it will count as a regular credit, and not as an extra. If this course causes any student to carry more credits than are regularly permissible, he must receive special permission from his dean.

William Kennedy, superintendent t the estate at 2475 South Bay-lore drive which William T. Grant icently turned over to the Univer-ty of Miami, preferred to praise the lorida climate rather than his work i developing the luxuriant growth f tropical flowers and trees on the state.
"We have tried,” Kennedy said, to preserve as much of the Florida ild nature as possible. We do our (anting and leave quite a bit of le rest of the work to nature. That one thing I have always been innkful for here in Florida—every-ling grows.”
Kennedy came to America from ublin, Ireland, after the World War. le had served three years in the oyal Dublin Fusileers and prior to rat time had worked as a gardener blowing his apprenticeship under filfred Tighe, a gentleman gardener f Rathnew, County Wicklow, Ire-ind.
“I have seen a good many changes l my thirteen years on the estate,” Kennedy went on, “the green houses, riveway, swimming pool, and many ther improvements have been made ince Mr. Grant took over the estate rom A. C. Whiting about eight years go.”
The estate covers about three and
a half acres and is one of the most beautiful in South Florida. The spa-cious residence, which will serve a's the official home of the University president, is reached by an avenue of stately royal palms leading from Bayshore Drive.
Several interesting facts which might have been overlooked were pointed out by Kennedy on a tour of the grounds. A particularly interesting point was that an Indian trail at one time curled through the estate from north to south, and in building the wall around the estate, openings were left in the wall in order that the trail would not be cut off. In walking down the winding paths of the estate rare tropical plants and flowers can be seen; many, like the wild orchids from the Keys, have been brought to the grounds from distant Florida points .Twisted vines connecting small trees form arches overhead, and many places along the paths are typical of the hammocks of South Florida.
A little white cross guarding a small mound covered with flowers brought this explanation from the caretaker: “It was a dog me Molly and Michael had. A German shepherd named Rumpus, and what a dog he was! . . . who, Molly and Michael? Oh, they’re my two kids, eight and (Continued on Page Four)
2 Miami Sinfonians To Go to Convention

C. December 27 and 28. The delegates plan to leave by train December 26 and return December 30.
Among the more important proceedings of this convention will be the formation of a new Southeastern Province of which the Beta Taus are expected to be perdominating group. At a formal banquet to be held at the University of North Carolina, President Mac Mehlman plans to submit a bid to hold the 1938 Sinfonia convention in Miami.

Students May HearCossack Choir for 55c
World Famous Singers Directed By Serge Jaroff Will Appear Here Dec. 16
Students will be admitted to the Don Cossack Choir recital to be held at Miami Senior High School on Wednesday, December 16, for fifty-five cents, Mrs. Arnold Volpe announced Tuesday. Activity books must be presented.
The much-heralded Don Cossack Choir under the direction of Serge Jaroff will make its Miami debut Wednesday night, December 16, at Miami Senior High School. Tickets for the concert are priced at $1.10, $1.55 and $2.20 and may be procured from Mrs. Arnold Volpe, room 246, or from Philpitt’s Music Store, 40 S.E. First Street.
The magnificent singing organization is known the world over.
During one of the battles of the 1917 revolution, an army of invaders descended upon a Siberian village bent upon the destruction of its inhabitants. The Cossacks successfully held off the attack until the villagers escaped to safety but were themselves taken prisoners. Resolving that “If die we must, let us die with music,” they raided the vodka distilleries, drank their fill and poured forth their wild battle songs and their haunting melodies of the far-flung steppes. Thus the Don Cossack Choir was born.
The complete program for the concert follows:

Class Gives Overholser A Very Dull Shirt, But A Bright Red Apple
In Otho V. Overholser, instructor in political science, you may see a proud and happy man. His life-long ambition has been realized. He admittedly owns the loudest shirt in the city of Miami, and he has a signed affidavit to prove it.
Whether Mr. Overholser deliberately conspired against his class or merely lost himself in ecstatic admiration for the red-plaid job that George Hamilton sported over his brawny shoulders, no one knows. But popular man that he is, he merely had to envy the mighty Hamilton chest encased in its violent adornment—and the class took the hint.
The next day Santa paid the doughty instructor a premature visit and placed on his desk, in the color of the season, a well-polished, red apple—and a red shirt.
But to say a “red shirt” is gross understatement. The shirt was a dazzling crimson, a red so red it would blind a bull rather than enrage him —a red that was redder than a communistic blush.
It was unfortunate that the students who had made the collection to play Santa Claus misjudged the thickness of the professorial neck, for alas, the collar was too large and the shirt had to be returned.
When the able pedagogue went to exchange the shirt, he found that a compromise between size and color was necessary, for the shop had no red shirt in his size. Undaunted, he selected a shirt that put the first one to shame and the clerk assured him that this new selection was positively the most violent shirt in the Greater Miami area. The salesman even put it in writing.
And correct he was. For the next day, instead of the instructor there appeared behind the desk a blaze of various neons, a rhapsodic nightmare of yellow, blue, purple, green and orange. So enthusiastic an ovation did the instructor receive that he had to button his coat and repeat several of his stock 18th century anecdotes before the class could be subdued to an attitude more fitting the study of unicameral legislation and the antitrust laws.
Hardingmen Stage ’37 Grid Finale Against Bulldogs in Dedication of Orange Bowl Tomorrow Night
Huge Parade Will Inaugural Gala Program
President Roosevelt Opens Official Ceremonies Tomorrow Night in Stadium
Dignity and color will mark the formal dedication ceremonies of the Roddey Burdine Orange Bowl stadium tomorrow night when an estimated crowd of 23,000 townspeople and Georgia visitors will gather to see the Miami Hurricanes write finis to their ambitious 1937 football season.
The Miami-Georgia game, which stadium officials predict will draw a capacity crowd, will climax the official dedication of the $300,000 Orange Bowl built this year by the Public Works Administration.
For the University of Miami, festivities will begin at 4 p.m. tomorrow when a mammoth, “Welcome, Georgia” parade will form at the county courthouse and circle the Miami business section, proceeding east down Flagler street to Biscayne Boulevard, south to First street, and west back to the Miami police station. Madeleine Cheney, “Miss University of Miami,” and Ruth Landers, “Miss University of Georgia,” riding together, will lead the parade.
Parade To Be University’s Largest The parade is planned as the largest the University has ever attempted. All music groups and campus social organizations will enter decorated floats carrying out the “Welcome, Georgia” motif. The athletic department announces that every car in the parade must carry orange, green, and white, the University colors. Numbers which will be distributed by Tom Condon, are to appear on each float rather than the name of the organization.
A cup donated by the University intramural department will be awarded to the best float in the parade. Mary B. Merritt, Walter Scott Mason, and Otho V. Overholser compose the judging committee.
Roosevelt Will Start Program At 8 p.m. President Franklin D. Roosevelt will press an electric button from the White House, Washington, to start the official dedication program.
First on the field will be the 100-piece Miami Boys’ Drum and Bugle Corps, followed by the American Legion Drum and Bugle Corps, and parade on the field and join in a U then by the University of Miami band. The three musical units will formation before the south stands.

Four Seniors See Final Action As Hurricanes
Capt. Masterson Able To Play; Harding Glad Hurricanes Underdogs Again
Coach Jack Harding’s Hurricanes will stage their 1937 season grid finale tomorrow night with Coach Harry Mehre’s powerful Georgia Bulldogs as the feature attraction at the official dedication of the $300,000 Roddey Burdine Orange Bowl.
Upwards of 20,000 people are expected to jam the stadium to see the colorful dedicatory ceremony. The Tame will mark the final appearance of four Miami seniors and the last performance of the Bulldogs under the mentorship of Harry Mehre.
Captain Bob Masterson, Tom Condon, Tony Vaccarelli, and Gus Hanley will play their last game under the Orange, Green and White as they inaugurate a new southern gridiron relationship.
A migratory crowd of 2,000 Georgia adherents will follow the team south for this contest.
Masterson Ready To Play
The Hardingmen recovering from the tough loss of last week suffered at the hands of the Gamecocks of South Carolina, are in good physical condition for the tussle. Captain Masterson, whose neck injury kept him on the sidelines for the entire Tame last week, is ready.
Johnny Bolash and Joe Dixon who vere injured last week will be able to participate in tomorrow’s game. Carl Jones and Johnny Oespovich are Ytill on the sick list; Jones with a badly wrenched back, and Oespovich with a crippled ankle.
Although the Hurricanes are rated the underdog, they show a determined attitude in practice.
Harding Gloomy
Harding, taking a rather gloomy outlook upon the impending contest, appeared to relish the role of underdog which his boys will assume tomorrow night. When interviewed and nformed that his Hurricanes were slated on the long end of the odds, he curtly replied, “I love it. The Bulldogs will be plenty tough. A team that can stop Auburn and hold Georgia Tech is a mighty good one. It will make tough sledding for our lads. The week’s layoff will have aided the Georgia boys to recover from heir gruelling battle with Auburn, even though they are still an injury-riddled squad with both Lumpkin, star center, and Jimmy Fordham, ace line-lunger, on the casualty list. The harmful Bill Hartman is also suffering from injuries.
“Our boys will find that while from end to end the Drake gridders were the toughest they faced so far, the Georgia team from tackle to (Continued on Page Four)
Jack Bell Plays Temporary Hookey from Sports World To Review Players7Performance ofrAbie’s Irish Rose’
By Jack Bell
(Sports Editor Miami Dally News)
I have seen Abie’s Irish Rose. I have been looking at great plays, great actors lo these many semesters —but not Abie. Each season there were hits to see, new faces to learn —but never Abie. It was one play that could wait until next year; it was like Mr. Tennyson’s brook.
And then, finally it closed, after six years. I was the only playgoer in America who hadn’t seen Abie’s Irish Rose. Anne Nichols’ play went around the world. It was played in all languages; it was human, it was funny, it was kosher.
And now I’ve seen Abie, on the stage of the University theater. Mrs. Motter’s players staged it last night, the first time an amateur cast has had that opportunity, I believe. A group of students, assembled too late to permit adequate rehearsal, and with some of them never before in even an amateur production staged the production — and it went over with a bang. It was darned good entertainment, which is the paramount attribute of any play.
When one says a plays was good entertainment it doesn’t mean it was
perfectly done. This group’s production last night was a bit spotty. This performance had that inevitable halting action resulting from inexperience and a bit of fear, as the players felt their way along. Occasional lines were dropped, others were uttered without conviction, still others were merely recited.
But then, as the story unfolded the players grew natural. They bit into their parts and put some zest into their action. Before the second act was well under way they were swinging along at a rollicking pace and, what was more important, carrying the audience with them.
Abie, I learned, is not a fool-proof play. You’ve got to give it all you’ve got — every character. And there must be action every second. It is not an easy play for an amateur group to put over, and we must give Mrs. Motter due credit for a fine job, realizing as we should, the difficulties of working hurriedly, rehearsing sparingly and with talent which in addition to being all amateur was in several instances plum novice.
The outstanding performances were given by Adele Rickel as Mrs. Isaac Appendicitisless Cohen, and Curly
Squires, erstwhile Ponce de Leon halfback, as Solomon Levy, the father; excepting, of course, Dorothy Bell’s Rose Mary Murphy. (Come on home Dottie; all is forgiven) The only fault I, a Celtic natural, could find with Dorothy was her brogue. Or her lack of it. It could have been more convincing, more natural.
Adele, equipped with grand character lines, made the most of them. She gurgled, she glared, she argued, she fussed and she talked about that appendicitis. She was a pretty good actress last night. Curly, a freshman, had no easy task, that of playing an elderly Jewish clothing merchant. On the whole he did it very well. Tom Buddington, a bit too jerky and with a tendency to under-play his lines occasionally, nevertheless was a very convincing hen-pecked childless poppa.
Then there were Victor Levine as the Jewish Rabbi and Jack Madigan as the Catholic priest. They’ve been before audiences here in the past and aside from a tendency to sluff their lines in the last act were sincere, convincing players. Richard Roberts, as the Irish father of Dorothy Bell, had more of a Celtic voice than Dor-(Continued on Page Four)
