University To Have New Radio Show
WQAM Will Inaugurate New Series of Radio Programs Beginning Nov. 4
University of Miami will go on the air in real collegiate style next Thursday night, November 4, at ten o’clock when a new series of programs titled the “University of Miami Pep Meeting of the Air” will be inaugurated over Station WQAM. The programs will be a pre-game feature of the football games which are played on Friday nights.
Featured on the new programs will be the Men’s Glee Club, assisted by the Sinfonia Male Chorus, and coaches, captains and outstanding players of the Hurricanes and their Friday night opponents.
Program Arranged by Student
The half hour show is being sponsored by the First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Miami and is being arranged and conducted by Maurice Fink, ’40. Fink also conducts a football program called “Maurice, the Sophomore Selector” on Tuesday and Saturday evenings over the same station.
Collegiate football atmosphere will naturally dominate the program. The Glee Club and chorus will feature Miami songs as well as songs of other colleges and universities throughout the country. Coaches and players will be asked to give their opinions about the game to be played on the following night and will also be asked to venture predictions on four or five other major games.
Coaches Jack Harding and Hart Morris and Captain Bob Mnoterson of the Hurricanes, together with Stetson’s coach, Brady Cowell, and Lynn Warren, the Hatter’s backfield ace, are expected to appear on the initial program next Thursday night, on the eve of the annual Hurricane-Hatter game.
May Broadcast Pep Meeting
Fink also announced that tentative plans are under way to broadcast directly from the bonfire and pep meeting which will be held on Thursday night, December 9, preceding the Miami-Georgia game on the following night. Fink hopes to have WQAM’s mobile transmitter at the scene of the bonfire and broadcast about fifteen minutes of the pep meeting directly from there during the “Pep Meeting of the Air” program.
The Miami-Georgia game will feature the dedication ceremonies of the new Burdine Orange Bowl.
More Free Passes
The Hurricane again offer« theatre tickets to those whose names are drawn from each of the four classes and the Law School and are scattered among the advertisements on pages three and four.
Winners should call at the Hurricane office, room 237, on Monday, November 1, between 12:30 and 1:00 p.m.
To Broadcast Game
A play-by-play description of the Miami-Tampa game will be presented in the University auditorium at 8 p.m. Friday. An admission of 25 cents will be charged to defray wireless expenses. Ernie Du-haime, University alumnus, will be the announcer.
The Athletic Office announces that 450 persons attended the play-by-play account of the Bucknell game two weeks ago.
Debaters Given Subject for Year’s Contests
Power of Labor Relations Board To Settle Disputes Is Question To Be Argued
“Resolved: That the Labor Relations Board Should Be Empowered To Settle All Labor Disputes” will be the subject of this year’s intercollegiate debating contests, the University Debate Council announced yesterday.
The Debate Council plans to send the varsity debating team on an extensive trip through the South during the winter term, meeting college teams in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. All home contests, it is planned, will be broadcast from the University auditorium.

Regular intramural contests will be held as usual this year with cups awarded to the winning campus organization. Formal announcement of these contests will be made later.
At the last meeting of the council the following new members were admitted: Adele Rickel, Whitey Kelley, Dick Arend, Maurice Fink, Dave Hendrick, and Dorothy Armagost.
Anyone interested in trying out for the varsity debating team is requested to see Jack Madigan before next Wednesday.
Phillips Completes Everglades Survey In Coast Guard Plane
Dr. Walter S. Phillips, assistant professor of botany, was a passenger in a U. S. coast guard plane last week in a three-hour air trip over the hinterlands of Florida.
The purpose of the trip was to survey all cultivated lands in southern Florida for a frost warning service undertaken by the Federal Bureau of Agriculture.
Leaving at 9 o’clock in the morning with Commander Von Paulson at the wheel, the plane traveled south thirty miles to Royal Palm Park, turned north over the Everglades as far as West Palm Beach, and returned to Miami along the coast line in time for Dr. Phillips to keep a luncheon date at 12:30.
Dr. Phillips, who brought home a reel of motion picture film of the trip, was impressed chiefly by the number of canals that thread the distric and the geometric designs formed by the cow paths in the dairy regions.

Smoothly Acted Comedy Farce Is Seen by Small Audience Last Night
The University Players last night raised the curtain on the official 1937-38 dramatic season with “Petticoat Fever,” a breezy comedy farce by Mark Reed, presented in the University auditorium before a small student audience.
The first performance of the play’s two-night stand was distinguished by sprightly dialogue and generally smooth acting jobs by the principals
of the cast.
Marvin, Squires Vie For Honors
Maxwell Marvin in his role of Das-com Dinsmore and Carl Squires as Sir James Fenton vied for acting honors. Marvin gave his role an easy, natural interpretation making the most of the many humorous lines he was given to speak. Squires burlesqued his ultra-British part in a manner more than slightly reminis-

cent of Reginald Owen in the movie version of the play. The two actors were excellent foils to each other in their several scenes together.
The presentation of the first two acts was consistently even. In the final act, however, several instances of bad timing and uneven tempo were noticeable.
Eskimo “Big Apple” Given
High points of the play were Marvin’s long introductory scene done in pantomine; the dinner party scene with Dinsmore and Ethel Campion, played by Maybelle Gilbert, skipping around the table out of the reach of Sir James; the Eskimo version of the Big Apple performed by Dorothy Armagost and Adele Rickel as Little Sea and White Fox; and Kimo (Edward Baumgarten) admiring the beauty of the white wedding ceremony.
The cast was completed by Jack Madigan as The Rev. Arthur Shap-ham; Annette Werner contributing a stand-out bit as Clara Wilson, Das-com’s affianced; Richard Roberts as Captain John Landry; and C. A. Cold, jr. as Scottie.
“Petticoat Fever” will be presented again by the same cast tonight at 8:30 p.m. in the auditorium. Students must present their activity ¡books. General admission is 50 cents.

Faculty Interviewed On Time Extension Between Classes
As a result of the recent discussion, an “Inquiring Reporter” was turned loose in the midst of the faculty with the question, “What is your opinion of the proposed extension of time between classes from five minutes to eight minutes, necessitating the lengthening of the school day?”
In most cases, the answers to this question differed in wording, but in in content were similar.
Paul E. Eckel, instructor in history: “Without deep consideration, my opinion would be that five minutes is long enough to walk twenty or twenty-five feet.”
John A. McLeland, instructor in accounting: “I find no difficulty, and my students get to class on time.” Warren B. Longenecker, professor of mathematics and mechanical drawing: “I see no harm in extending the time if, at present, there is confusion. Five minutes is perhaps not ample with the increase in enrollment., Russell Austin Rasco, dean of the Law School: “Five minutes is long enough.”
Dr. Jay F. W. Pearson, professor of zoology and secretary of the University: “It seems unnecessary to me to extend the time between classes, especially since the day would be lengthened.”
Walter Scott Mason, instructor in English: “I don’t see any need for an extension of time.”
Dr. Robert E. McNicoll, assistant professor of Latin American Relations: “I will admit, the halls are crowded, but five minutes is enough time between classes. The students will just have to move faster.”
Mary B. Merritt, dean of women, was emphatic: “Five minutes is time enough—definitely!”
Dr. Max F. Meyer, visiting professor of psychology: “Five minutes is an extremely short time to exchange classes. About eight minutes would be sufficient.”
University Contingent Will Take Part in Dedicating Tampa Stadium
Tampa’s Spartans will have very good reason to fight desperately in an attempt to keep their record of never losing to a University of Miami football team unblemished when they clash with the Hurricanes tomorrow night in the dedication game of their new stadium.
Impressive ceremonies will be held in conjunction with the dedication. A public address system has been installed in a booth on the 50-yard line which will carry to all parts of the new stadium a detailed description of the events.
Ashe To Speak At Dinner
President B. F. Ashe has been invited by Dr. John H. Sherman, president of Tampa University, to participate in the dedicatory services and has also been asked to speak at the Tampa Alumni Association dinner preceding the game.
As the first event in the dedication program, the University of Tampa band will unite with the Miami band in playing “America,” and the entire assembly will join in singing the anthem. A. R. Phillips, president of the

Motion Pictures To Be Shown at Convo Friday
Program To Be Sponsored By Chevrolet Division of General Motors Corp.
Tomorrow’s assembly will feature three motion pictures presented by the Chevrolet Motor Division of the General Motors Sales Corporation. The pictures, arranged by C. L. Wheat, General Motors representative, are designed for the pleasure and benefit of the students.
To Explain Telephotos The first picture entitled “Spot News” is a simple and interesting explanation of how telephotos are sent over the wire from scenes of action to newspaper offices.
“Safety Patrol” is the second picture, packed with human interest and graphically demonstrating the contribution which our American school children are making toward pedestrian and automobile safety.
‘Precisely So” the third picture is an imaginary visit through a microscope into the Land of Precision, a fantastic land beyond human vision where solid steel is bent by a feather touch, hairs are split into thousands of lines, and a human heart is amplified a million times.
Progress of Installation of Honor System Reported by Committeeman
[Th* following article it written by Charles Hardee-Priett. associate member of the Honor System Committee, and has been requested for publication by the Honor Court. The purpose of the article is to give the student body a clearer conception of what has been donr and what is being done by the committee to install the Honor System at the University of Miami. —Ed.]
During this past spring semester there was a concerted effort made by a small group of upperclassmen to focus discussion upon the feasibility of installing the honor system at this University. Out of these primary group discussion there was formed a permanent “honor system committee,” whose purpose was to mold the student attitude to this proposition.
As the upperclassman recalls there was an assembly period devoted to the honor system and an entire week was set aside as “Honor Week.” This latter was carried on in conjunction with a state wide movement sponsored by the University of Florida.
The honor system committee has from time to time contacted several Florida universities and northern schools as to the pros and cons of the honor system. After a great deal of student discussion, a plan of education and publicity relating to the honor system is being carried on through the Hurricane, fraternities, sororities, faculty and other groups.
The honor system will establish for the student a new feeling of respon-
sibility. It will develop their honesty, rather than dishonesty. An honor system will aid in forming a broader field of cooperation in citizenship and college ethics. Under such a system a tradition will arise that will outlaw cheating.
The student constitution in its articles provides for the organization and continuance of the honor system and its appendages.
Many of the upperclassmen have surrounded themselves with walls of resistance against installing the honor system at this University. It is possible that some have convinced themselves that it cannot work, but we who are interested in such a movement are just as firmly convinced that with the right cooperation, i.e., among the student body as a group, among the faculty and the student body ns individuals, a working program can be endorsed and put into operation.
Upon the honor system committee, the Honor Court, and the vigilance committee will rest the responsibility for the operation of this plan. Emphasis this year will be placed upon the freshman and sophomore classes, but we hope that the upperclassman will join in putting over the proposition.

Miami to Have Full Strength; 35 Make Trip
Hardingmen Open Defense of ‘Little Four’ Championship Against Old Rivals
Still seeking their third victory of the season, Coach Jack Harding’s Hurricanes, 35 strong, embarked this morning for Tampa where tomorrow night they will face the Spartans of the University of Tampa in the dedicatory game of Tampa’s new municipal stadium.
The Hurricanes will also be seeking their first victory over the Spartans. Since the two schools inaugurated gridiron relations in 1934 the locals have lost two, and tied one game. In ’34 Tampa won 7-6, and again in ’35, 13-7. Last year, in the old Miami Stadium, the two teams struggled to a scoreless tie in a quagmire.
Coach Harding’s charges will be defending their “Little Entente" championship in their first game of the season against a team of this mythical conference, which includes Miami, Tampa, Rollins, and Stetson.
Keen Rivalry Exists
Between Tampa and Miami there exists an intense football rivalry due to the fact that the Hurricanes have never been able to do more than tic the Spartans. The Hardingmen face this week an outfit that has not only “pointed” for this game, but a team that would like to dedicate its new stadium Friday with a victory. To add to Miami’s troubles, it is homecoming for the Spartans and they want to show well before their alumni. These facts add up to one conclusion — the Spartans will be hard to stop.
The Spartan offense is powerful but lacking the spark of last season’s sensational Rudy Rodriguez. Their line is tough. They present a balanced offensive supplemented by a good defense.
Tampa, judging by comparative scores between them and the teams they have played that Miami has also met, appears weaker than the Hurricanes, but Coach Jack Harding attaches little importance to these statistics. Amid a scene of bustling activity in the athletic office yesterday Coach Harding took a few moments off from his busy preparations to give a Hurricane reporter his views on the impending struggle between his Hurricanes and the Spartans.
Doesn’t Believe in Comparative Scores
“I don’t believe in comparative scores,” said Harding. “I’m not figuring on the Tampa outfit that faced somebody else, I’m planning for the team that will face us this Friday. The week’s lay off has aided our injured boys to get back to normal. We’ll play them with full force barring new mishaps.
“As for any foolish talk of a Tampa jinx, I don’t believe in it. The team that wins any game is the better team on that day. We hope to go out and out-jinx the Tampa boys by being the better outfit.”
How to Go
For those fans planning to go by automobile, the American Automobile Association suggests the following route: U. S. 94 (Tamiami Trail to Naples, and route 41 from there to Tampa. The distance is 276 miles and does not go over the ferry.)
Headquarters for Miami students will be at the Floridan Hotel. The hotel is centrally locslted about five blocks from the stadium. Rates quoted are: $1.00 per person for three students in a room; $1.25 per person for two students in a room. Reservations may be made through Mr. A. W. Koch in his office.
Women students making the trip are asked to register in Miss Merritt’s office today.
