Would You Like Credit Without Going to Class?
How would you like to earn a credit without attending a class? To oversleep without getting a cut? To settle down to studying when you are good and ready? It sounds like the college student’s rosiest dream, but that dream might be realized here at the University of Miami.
University administrative officials are considering the establishment of several reading courses for credit without requiring class attendance.
These courses might be offered in any field such as literature, history, science, or economics, in the field in which the student is majoring or entirely out of any field in which he is at present studying.
In these courses, the student would read and study, independently, assigned books and articles. He would then make an oral report to the appropriate member of the faculty. No classroom attendance would be required.
University officials are interested in sounding student opinion on such subjects, whether they are thought practical or desirable at the University of Miami. Written opinions and specific suggestions regarding the proposed courses should be addressed to the editor of the Hurricane.
Madeleine Cheney, Alpha Theta, was elected Miss University of Miami today by defeating Dorothy Ashe, Lambda Phi, in a run-off election. She is a freshman in the Law School, an associate justice of the Honor Court, and vice-president of her sorority. She will rep-resent the University in the dedication ceremonies of Orange Orange Bowl here next week.

'Abie’s Irish Rose’Slated For Dec. 9-10
Percnniel Stage Favorite Will Be Second Attempt By University Players
Abie’s Irish Rose” a three-act comedy by Anne Nichols, will be presented by the University Players on Wednesday and Thursday nights of next week in the University theatre. The production is under the supervision of Mrs. Opal Euard Mot-ter, director of dramatics.
The play revolves around Abraham Levy, whose father wishes him to marry a nice Jewish girl. While in France with the A.E.F., however, Abie meets and marries Rosemary Murphy. Introduced as Rosemary Murphyski, the girl fools Abie’s father completely until her own father appears on the scene. Right here things begin to pop.
The pair were originally married by a Methodist minister, but since both fathers must be appeased, Rosemary and Abie are married two more times, once by a rabbi and again by Catholic priest.	*
Members of the cast include: Mil-ton Wasman as Abie; Dorothy Bell as Rosemary; Adele Rickel as Mrs. Cohen; Dick Roberts as Mr. Cohen; Jack Madigan as Father Whalen; Victor Levine as Dr. Samuel; and Curley Squires as Sol Levy.
Students will be admitted on their activity books. Tickets for outsiders are priced at fifty cents.

Don Cossack Choir Has Unique Place In History of the Music Profession
The Don Cossack Choir which is to be presented in a recital December 16 at Miami Senior high school auditorium is a unique organization in the history of the music profession.
Members of the group are not studied and cultured vocalists as most leading artists of the concert stage invariably are. The Cossacks are all descendants of the wild and bloodthirsty marauders of the days of tumultuous Russia. The story of how those men united into a singing unit of the highest order is a story familiar to all music lovers. But for those who might have missed it, here it is again:
Cossacks Taken Prisoners
During one of the battles fought in the revolution of 1917 a great army of invaders swooped down upon a deserted village in Siberia bent upon destroying it and killing all its inhabitants who were mostly old men, women and children. A regiment of Cossacks, who were stationed not far from the village, set out in the defense of these people. Following a disastrous battle in which many were killed on both sides, the Cossacks were taken prisoners, but not till all the villagers had escaped to safety. Then these stalwart warriors, who had never feared death in all the generations preceding them remembered an old Russian saying: “If die we must, let us die with music.” So they raided the vodka distileries, drank their fill, and poured forth their wild battle songs and their haunting melodies of the far-flung steppes to the magnificent accompaniment of their regimental band. And this regiment—this mere
handful of men faced the insance hordes of Revolutionaries to protect a thousand refugees—knowing well that they would never see their beloved plains again — knowing that each moment was nearer the end. They were the Cossacks of the Don. Don Cossacks! Men who sing defiance to danger! Men who sing into the face of death. Men who sing while their very souls are bursting with longing for a land which in this life they shall never see again.
To Appear in Miami
Such was the birth of the magnificent singing organization which will be presented in Miami December 16.
Tickets priced at $1.10, $1.55 or $2.20 may be procured from Mrs. Arnold Volpe, room 246, or from Philpitt’s Music Store, 40 S. E. 1st Street. Mrs. Volpe has announced that very few $1.10 tickets are left and urges students to make their reservations early.
Students Asked To Fill Out Questionnaire
Dr. Jay F. W. Pearson, secretary of the University, has requested all students to call at the postoffice for questionnaires on University advertising to be filled out and returned to his office immediately.
An attempt is being made to discern what the students think of an extensive advertising campaign and just what kind of publicity they think will bring the best results.
Every student is urged to cooperate in this project.

Locals Hope To Avenge Last Year’s Defeat By South Carolinians
Out for revenge, again on the rebound, and once more victory-hungry, Coach Jack Harding’s football warriors resume a gridiron warfare with Don McCallister’s “twin-team” football machine from the University of South Carolina tomorrow evening in Burdine Orange Bowl.
The Hurricanes are still smarting from the 6-3 defeat suffered at the hands of the Gamecocks last year, when victory was snatched from their hands after they apparently had the game won. Harding’s lads are on the rebound from that tough loss to Drake last week and their grim determination to crash the win column again tomorrow night has been evident in every run, block, pass, and tackle in this week’s practice sessions.
“In Better Frame of Mind,”—Harding “Our boys are in a better frame of mind for this week’s battle and are anxious to win,” Coach Harding stated yesterday. They learned a lot of football last week against Drake and gained loads of experience. We’ve seen the Gamecocks in action this season and believe me, they’re tough. They have a good, well-balanced team and are much better than people believe them to be on their record for this season. They have barely been nosed out by some of the South’s toughest. I know what they have. I’ve seen them play. We’re not afraid of them, though. We’re not afraid of anybody.” Gamecocks Have Two Complete Teams The Gamecocks will face the Hurricanes with a unique system. Mc-Callister has two first teams, each of which keeps its individual identity even in practice and he substitutes one for the other instead of individual
players. Their opponents have
Clay, Dennis on Pep Meeting of Air Tonight
Lin« Coach Hart Morris and Capt. Bob Masterson Will Also Be Heard
Dinty Dennis, WQAM sports announcer, and Everett Clay, Miami Herald sports editor, will give their opinions of the Hurricanes’ chances in tomorrow night’s Miami - South Carolina game when they are interviewed tonight on the University of Miami Pep Meeting of the Air. The program is heard weekly over Station WQAM.
Hart Morris, University line coach, Captain Bob Masterson, and Tom Condon will also be asked for their predictions by Maurice Fink, who, as “Sophomore Selector,” is in charge of the pep meetings.
The Sinfonia Male Chorus under the direction of Bob Reinert is in charge of the musical program. University cheerleaders will be there to lead the University cheers and pep songs.
Originally scheduled to appear at the broadcast, Don McCallister, coach of the South Carolina Gamecocks, wired his regrets yesterday. He will not arrive in Miami till tomorrow in time for the game.
Juniors Plan More Pre-Proin Activities
A series of pre-prom, novelty projects to be given during the first four weeks in January for the purpose of financing a bigger and better junior prom were outlined by the junior class at a call meeting Tuesday in the auditorium.
A skating party in the Coral Gables Coliseum, novelty dances, and a University night at Funland Park were among the events tentatively planned for the money-making program.
Melvin Fox and Arnold Broder were appointed co-chairmen of the pre-prom program by Joe Thomas, president of the class. Sub-committees include Joan Goeser, Bob Edwards, C. A. Cold, Jr., Judy Ashby, Eric Carlson, Stephen Pratt, Anne bearing, Martha Neham, and Edith Horowitz.
“We cannot stress too much the importance of these events,” said Thomas. “Whether we have a better junior prom this year or not depends upon the support and cooperation we get on this program.”
MIAMI HI, EDISON SEE ACTION
Miami Senior High entertains Knoxville High from Tennessee and The Red Raiders of Edison travel to Marblehead, Mass., in the only games Metropolitan Miami prep teams play this week.
had
trouble coping with the system which always allows rested men to face tiring opponents.
Have Three 10-Second Men The Gamecocks will bring to the Orange Bowl a balanced aggregation. They have three 10-second men in their backfield and a lad who is rated as one of the nation’s leading punters. His name is Ed Clary and this is his second season on the Gamecock varsity. Last season against the Duke Blue Devils, Clary out-kicked All-American Ace Parker. He averages between 43 and 48 yards a try. His educated toe is not his only asset, however. He is also an excellent runner and a fine passer. He is consistent and a constant threat. Miami did not escape unscathed from the terrific Drake battle.
Captain Bob Masterson injured his neck but may be able to play. Joe Dixon, varsity center, will see little action as a result of a knee injury. Don Salisbury will start in the pivot position. There will be a shift in the Hurricane backfield. Carl Jones will replace Johnny Douglas at halfback the starting lineup, but Douglas will see plenty of action before the game is over.
McCallister Wants To Win
The Gamecock coach is a former Miami High School mentor and is unxious to show a winning ball club to his many local friends. He and his team are anxious to close their season in the victory column.
Tomorrow night’s contest will test the Hurricanes’ comparative strength with regard to their game with the University of Georgia Bulldogs next Friday. The Gamecocks were beaten by the Georgians by a single touchdown.
Sorority To Sponsor Benefit Movie
Heralded as a recent screen triumph, “I’ll Take Romance” featuring Grace Moore, star of “One Night of Love,” and Melvyn Douglas, the man who made “Theodora” go wild, will appear at the Mayfair Theatre, December 6 and 7 under the auspices of Sigma Phi Gamma, international non-scholastic sorority. Proceeds will go to the University of Miami scholarship fund which is maintained by the sorority. Tickets will be on sale December 3 and 6 during the lunch hour in front of the cafeteria.
Music lovers will be interested in the following songs from the show which includes Helene Westley and Stuart Erwin in the cast: “The Jewel Song” from Faust; “La Mama Marta” by Andre Shenier; the Quintet from “Martha”; the Gavotte from “Manan”; the duet from “Madame Butterfly”; the “Drinking Song” from Traviata; and the title song, “I’ll Take Romance.”
CORRECTION
In last week’s Hurricane the sponsor of the “Pep Meeting of the Air” radio program was incorrectly reported. The sponsor of this program is the First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Miami.
