Journalists Offer New Scholarship
Lead and Ink To Give $50 To Florida High School Senior On Tuition Fee
Journalism scholarships for Florida high school seniors were planned last night by Lead and Ink, honorary journalism fraternity, at a meeting in the Social Hall.
One scholarship will be awarded each year, if present plans are approved by University administrative authorities, and competition will be open to all high school seniors in the state. Awards will be based on writing of news, editorials, and a special article on n journalistic subject. Scholarships will be in the form of a $50. deduction from the first semester’s tuition.
Notifications of the contest will probably be sent to all Florida high school principals before Christmas, with entries in the hands of the judges by March 15. Announcement of the first winner will be made before the close of school in Jyne.
Students entering the competition need not be enrolled in high school journalism courses, nor be on the staff of any school publication. Judging will be by well-known Florida newspaper men.
“With this scholarship,” Lewis Dorn, president of Lead and Ink, said today, “our organization will attempt to encourage students interested in higher standards of journalism. We hope that our plans will materialize. Certainly a Lead and Ink state-wide contest will bring to our school students who may have talent that deserves a chance to develop.”
Lead and Ink was founded in 1932 as an honorary Journalism organization to recognize students whose work on the Hurricane and Ibis is outstanding. Membership is restricted to juniors and seniors.
Student members this year are: Lewis Dorn, Mollie Connor, Martha Dorn, Charles Franklin, Cliff Hendrick, John Hopkins, Hank Meyer, Ralph Nelson, and George Wheeler. Faculty members are Simon Hoch-berger, Lewis Leary, and Leonard Muller.

Ibis Business Staff Enlists Solicitors
Positions on the business staff of the Ibis are open to those solicitors of advertising who bring in the best work, according to a statement made by Ira Bullock, business manager of the annual, at a meeting of the staff last Friday. Twelve ad solicitors were enlisted, seven of whom were freshmen, at the meeting.
The Ibis is planning to start its advertising campaign early this year, aiming for at least twenty solicitors. All students interested in this type of extracurricula work are requested to see Bullock tomorrow between 12:30 and 1:30 in the Ibis office, Room 239. Commissions are given on all ads brought in.
So far the solicitors “signed up” pre Bob Dillard, Hank Meyer, Carolyn Lichtenstetter, Lyman Bradford, George Walsh, and John Lipscombe. Freshmen on the advertising staff are Robert Sykes, Murray Zeidenberg, Jack McLinden, Frank Jewett, Jack Prather, Doyle Dameron. and Jocelyn Keen.
Snuffy Smith, Piano Gentleman of Parts,
“Swing is just a temporary, expressionless idiom,” says Thomas Powell Smith, better known to Miami students as “Snuffy.”
Snuffy, who hails from Wilmington, Delaware, where he began his musical career at the tender age of eight, has eighteen years of work behind him. Now at twenty-six, he has more than 3000 hours of broadcasting to his credit.
Snuffy has played in such productions as “Naughty Marietta," “The Beggar Student,” and “You Can’t Take It With You.” While playing with Don Mario’s band, he traveled from one end of the country to the other, playing in such places as Coconut Grove and the Blossom Room at the Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles, and others.
This short, stocky, dry-humored, ruddy faced, ubiquitous person, who can be seen around school with his battered dink on the top of his head, has only one worry at the present
Virtuoso, Hoofer and Is Weirdest Freshman
time, to learn Tschaikowsky’s piano concert, “B flat Minor,” being tired of playing the “Boogie Woogie.”
Snuffy also has what is rare, and would put him in the class of a genius, and that is an “absolute pitch,” meaning, he is able to name the note struck on a piano just by listening to it.
Tom has three hobbies—tap dancing, photography, and composing. With his hobbies, he also has a few vices. He cannot be beat at “chug-a-lug,” and can be seen at the Varsity Club bar, or at the piano entertaining the students nightly. Thomas Powell’s ambition is to becbme a music teacher in one of the Miami high schools, if possbile, for he likes the weather down hy'ar in the “land of sunshine.”
P.S. At present, Snuffy is writing the music for a farce called the “Squedunk Draglons.” With a name like that, it’s no wonder he spends his time at the bars.

The girls will be dressed in full uniform of skirts and sweaters with raised letters on a megaphone insignia. They will lead routines of both new and old cheers, on which they have been rehearsing along with Ned Turner, “Pee Wee” Rosenblatt, A1 Lane, Charlie Dumas and Jimmy Berry.

Board Suggests Charles Baake To Fill Vacancy
Charles Baake, student in the School of Business Administration, has been recommended for the post of business manager of the Hurricane to succeed George Wheeler, whose resignation was accepted by the Board of Publications in its first meeting of the year Tuesday. The recommendation now goes to the Student Senate for approval.
Baake was advertising manager of the Hurricane last year, and has served as assistant business manager this semester under Wheleer. Until final action is taken by the Senate, Baake will serve as temporary business manager.
Wheeler has been business manager of the Hurricane during the past year. His resignation was necessitated by a provision in the Constitution that states a student executive must carry at least twelve credit hours.
Simon Hochberger, Dr. Harold E. Briggs, U. J. Hiss, Ray Fordham, Charlie Franklin, John Hopkins, George Wheeler, and Ira Bullock were present at the meeting.
Etchings by F. Townsend Morgan, Director of Key West’s Art Center, are now on display in the art room from ten to four daily except Saturdays.	_______

“There will be a continuation of the Ibis picture poll next Tuesday at 10:30,” John Hopkins, editor of the annual, announced this morning, after only a minority of seniors showed up to vote on the question, whether or not to wear caps in graduation pictures this year.
All seniors who did not vote this morning, are asked to do so next Tuesday. Voting will take place in Room 239, Hopkins added.
Freshmen Find Fun At Ashe Apple Bob
Grab a costume, all you freshmen and transfers, then trek down to 2475 South Bayshore Drive Saturday night! If you just can’t rig up some sort of disguise, come anyhow, preferably without a date.
Them’s orders, gang, because Mrs. Bowman F. Ashe and freshman officers have planned a Hallowe’en party from nine till midnight. Besides dancing—out in the moonlight—there’ll be plenty of games and eats. To be more specific you’ll have apple bobbing, crystal gazing, contest dancing, marshmellow roasting, among the activities.
The German band will circulate around and lead the singing.
Lowest Class Plans High Jinks; Will Imitate Indians A mong Other Things
By Margaret Klotz Every dog has his day . . . and so do the freshmen. This Saturday the Class of ’43 will show off its talent as far as football, cheering, and proud freshmen sponsors are concerned at the Miami - Stetson frosh football game.
Competition is the theme for the day, beginning at 2:30 when the freshman glass will tramp around the field with paternal guidance by the Vigilantes.
Then come the sponsors, two by two. Jack Thomas, Kappa Sigma, will escort Chi Omega’s Alma Jane Lind-gren to the middle of the Orange Bowl, with the assistance of the captain of the freshman squad.
There they will act like they’ve never met one another before, and shake hands with Lucille Jones, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Keith Phillips, Pi Chi, and the captain of the Stetson team. More than likely the stands will go into an uproar over the excitement, but we feel that we can save a little of this nervous tension for the football game.
Now that the preliminaries are taken care of, there’s always a matter of a football game. The boys are more than likely reciting the plays over and over again, hoping that they, too, may become the star of the game, like the sponsors were. This being their first game since they
starred in that last memorable struggle in Dogtown High, they are eager to get out there and show those other freshmen that they’re really football players, even if they do wear dinks.
After rolling the score up to 43-0 at the half, it’s time for a surprising and very entertaining program by a few of the frosh wild ones. There will be presented before the mass a skit on how the Indians play ball, with compliments of the captains of the respective teams. The freshman members of the band will also make their audible contribution during this time.
Oh yes, and just as a matter of clockwork, there will be a smidgetting of cheering during the game, if the students feel that they’re up to it that time of day. So far the evening hours don’t seem to agree with weak vocal cords, or else they’re afraid their false teeth will fall out if they yell. The only competition in this line will probably be who can make the less noise when our boys make a touchdown.
After the game is over, of course, we girls will have decided who is the “most wonderful boy I’ve ever seen!” and likewise set out to conquer; the boys will have made up their minds who is going to be a second Eddie Dunn and praise him like almighty Allah; while the sponsors will probably be dead on their . . . well, they’ll be quite exhausted from sitting.
Radio Program Features Skit, Piano Lectures
University broadcasts this next week include book reviews, an interview with the Hurricane co-captains, a skit about students who are earning their college education, a Spanish program, and a piano lecture recital.
“Escape,” a tale of German concentration camps, and “I Wanted to be an Actress” will be reviewed by Malcolm Beal, English faculty member, this afternoon at 2:30 over WIOD. Tonight Chuck and Walt will be heard (along with the men’s glee club) commenting about the Catholic U. game. It’s a pep program, on WQAM at 7:15.
Lives and ambitions of students earning their way through college will be dramatized Monday (WIOD, 2:30) on “Working Our Way.” Introduction of Arturo Morales, new assistant professor of Latin American affairs, plus Spanish piano selections by Mrs. Claudia Mendez, will be featured on the Spanish broadcast Tuesday evening (WQAM, 7:30).
Continuing her piano-lecture recitals on Mozart, Mrs. Hannah Asher will play the sonata recently adapted by Alec Templeton into a popular dance tune, “In An Eighteenth Century Drawing-Room.”
Increase Lessens Seat Restrictions
University student section at the Orange Bowl has been increased more than 350 seats, now making a total of 1500 available, James M. Beusse, Graduate Manager of Athletics, announced today. He also added that students may bring dates, not registered in school, into the section. Tickets will be priced at $1.00.
Students in the Adult Division may also sit in this section for the same price. However, they will have to show their registration cards when purchasing the ticket.
Reserved seats are selling for $2.25 and 1.75, with general admission ducats priced at $1.00. The stands behind the goal posts at the West end will be opened for the Catholic game, with tickets for this section being 75 cents. These prices will also prevail for the Texas Tech, Drake, and North Carolina State games.
Metropolitan Tenor Sings Monday Night
Seating capacity is limited for the recital to be given on Monday night in the lobby of the Administration building by Arturo de Fillipe, tenor from the Metropolitan Opera Company, who is now a member of the University faculty.
Students wishing to attend this recital are requested to reserve seats ahead of time at the music office.
Evelyn Plagman Jones will accompany the soloist.
Odds Favor Irish Win Tomorrow
Catholic Brings Veteran Squad To Miami; Jack Says, 'Don’t Count Us Out'
The Irish of Catholic University, roaring into the Southland on the wings of victory and out to keep their undefeated record unblemished, tangle with our “underdog” Hurricanes on the greensward of Roddey Burdine Orange Bowl tomorrow night at 8:15 p.m.
The Flying Cardinals invade Miami with an impressive four game winning streak, and are at full strength after a GO to 0 triumph over West Virginia Wesleyan last week. Previously, the Cards opened the season with a 12 to 0 win over South Carolina’s Gamecocks, then run roughshod over little Elon, 34 to 0, and two weeks ago, they whipped the powerful Detroit University Titans, 14-13, in a real thriller.
Dutch Bergman brings to Miami a veteran squad, many of whom will be facing the Hurricanes for the third time. This game is the rubber one of a series which started in ’37. The Hurricanes won a startling 21 to 0 victory over the Irish thut year, with Catholic taking a close 7 to 0 game last year in Washington, D.C. —home of the Cardinals. They were the only team to hold the Hurricanes scoreless last year.
Catholic Line Heavy
The Irish forward wall has been virtually impregnable this season, and fairly bristles with 200-pounders. The center is Johnny Calabrese, picked for two years running on the Hurricanes’ All-Opponents eleven. Catholic’s backfield is speedy and has plenty of drive. Captain Rocco Pirro, a 225-pound tackle, was shifted to the backfield as a blocking back and blossomed into a terrific ball carrier.
The big offensive threat of the Irish is Charlie Mountenot, an elusive broken field runner, whose speed has bewildered opponents. Joe Guy-non, Indian speed artist, and Hank Brostek round out the Irish all-star backfield.
The Hurricanes came out of the Rollins fracas comparatively un-
M CLUB DANCE
Marking the third of a series of post-game dances, the “M” Club will sponsor its Catholic U-Miami dance at the Miami Biltmore Country Club tomorrow night. Tickets will be priced as usual, 55 cents per person.
Sponsors for the gridiron clash will be Grace Day, Sigma Kappa, and Marion Brown, Chi Omega.
scathed. The team rested two days and then worked hard all week against Catholic plays. Harding stressed tackling drill. Miami showed improvement against Rollins, but will enter the Catholic University contest as definite underdogs.
“The squad is looking better this week. They are working hard and are a determined bunch. Catholic University is very tough and has a big, rough line. Don’t anyone count us out ’cause we’ll be in there battling every minute,” said Harding today.
Hurricanes in Shape Miami’s physical condition is good. Sophomore star Joe Krutulis is recovering from an injury incurred in scrimmage and will be ready for the opening whistle. Bill Totterdale, ace soph pass receiver, whose injuries have kept him out of action all season, is rapidly rounding into shape. Bobby Grimes was shaken up in scrimmage, but he will be fit for action.
In trying to get maximum power his backfield, Harding has shifted Johnny Noppenberg to blocking back, with Terry Fox at fullback. Lanky Mat Borek is being used at guard and is catching on quickly.
The Hurricanes are weakened somewhat by the suspension for a week of Joe Dixon, ace pivot man, and Red Cameron, reserve lineman, for breaking training over the weekend. Salisbury will be in at center with Maston O’Neal in reserve.
Big “Kutch” Kearns who performed well against Rollins, and who has looked good in practice session, has earned the starting assignment over veteran tackles Jim Poore and Stan Raski. Steve McCrimmon has hit his stride and will probably start at the other tackle.
