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 tnition.
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 16, Announcement
of the first winner will be made before the close of school in June.
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 organisation 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 Hochberger, 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"
are Bob Dillard, Hank Meyer, Carolyn Lichtenstetter, Lyman Bradford,
George Walsh, and John Lipscombe.

Robert Sykes, Murray Zeidenberg,
Jack McLinden, Frank Jewett, Jack
Prather, Doyle Dameron. and Jocelyn
Keen.
Snuffy Smith, Piano Virtuoso, Hoofer and
Gentleman of Parts, Is Weirdest Freshman
"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 haa
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
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 beebme 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
hiB time at the bars.

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

at 10:30," John Hopkins, editor of
the annual, announced thia morning, after only a minority of ten-
ion 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, ull you freshmen
and transfers, then trek down to
2476 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 Suturday 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 class 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
prohably be who can make the lesB
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.

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 00 to 0 triumph over West
Virginia Wesleyan last week. Previously, the Curds 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 Guynon, 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
n his backfield, Harding has shifted
Johnny Noppenberg to blocking back,
with Terry Pox at fullback. Lanky
Mat Borek is being used at guard and
is catching on quickly.
The Hurricanes are weakened
lomewhat 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 haB
hit his stride and will probably start
at the other tackle.
