Vespers Sunday Commemorates Armistice Day
An International Vespers Service, sponsored by the Y.M.C.A., the Y.W^C.A., the Newman Club, 'the Jewish Culture Society, and the Baptist Student Union, will be held in the auditorium next Sunday afternoon, at four o'clock.
The service is under the management of. Miss Mary B. Merritt, Dean of Women, and Paul E. Eckel, instructor in history, assisted by students Bud McLinden, Charlotte Meggs, and Catherine Hefinger.
The string section of the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Dr. A. Volpe, will play several selections at the service, including “Adigo” by Brahms, and the Intermezzo from “Cavalleria Rustic-ana” by Muscagni. Hymns, which all those present will join in singing, will also be played.
Rev. Richard E. Evans of Southern University, Lakeland, will conduct the religious services. Rev. Evans is active in Y.M.C.A. work throughout the nation, and was former national chaplain of the American leg-1 ion “40 and 8.’’
Whirletorial
Miamians are a generous people when they are “in the money.” Whirligig’s mail basket is ample proof. In response to yesterday’s Whirletorial suggestion that Miamians who can afford to do so, contribute all or part of their electric rate refund cash to a big jackpot for the University of Miami, come scores of letters and not a few phone calls pledging participation. With $4,000,000 to be poured back into customers’ pockets by Power-Light—more “loose” money than the community has seen since the boom — the opportunity to establish a sizeable community foundation for the university may never knock so loudly again. Only widespread participation would make the effort worthwhile. If enough generous Miamians tell Whirligig the idea is worth pursuing, the action will be supplied.

Band Faces Dilemma at Last Minute Decision; Hurriedly Packs for Trip
BobLichliter Faces Trial Tonight
Defense Attorney Asks Closed Court for Assault And Battery Case
A closed trial granted to Bob Lich-liter, defendant in the Franklin assault case, on request of his attorneys, Ashley Crutchfield and Don Frankel will be held in room 371 at 8 p.m. tonight.
Lichliter, charged by Charles Franklin with assault and battery recently after a fracas resulting from Franklin’s efforts to enforce a Vigilance Committee order over his objections, will plead not guilty, claiming his action was justified. Prosecuting Attorney A1 Spar and Louis Sabatino will oppose this plea.
Chief Justice John Brion points out that “the case will be decided on its merits, and not on technical procedure. The defendant will receive the fair and impartial trial to which he has a right.”
Outlining the penalties which the law provides in a case of this kind, Brion stresses the fact that the court does not have the power to suspend or expelí. Conviction would probably result in loss of student activity privileges and reprimand.
As the justices will decide not only on points of law but on» the facts as well, there will be no jury, Brion announces.
As a last minute surprise, the University of Miami administration announced yesterday that through special arrangements with Catholic University, the band is going to Washington!
But the surprise fell flat as complications set in. First, there was the dance scheduled by the Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia fraternity for tomorrow night. This difficulty was overcome by calling the whole thing off.
The short notice was not very well received. There is so much to be done before pulling out and, well, it’s just as Carlyle Snider, a delicious blond, put it: “Do I want to go? Not in the least. It’s too short a notice and too many studies before me that I’m behind.”
Tom Hilbish douted the satiety of the trip inasmuch as “I need time to study. Besides, we can’t give good performance on such a short notice.”
Next dilemma to confront the band concerned clothing. What with all the white shirts in the laundry the boys use a woman’s excuse, “We

NEWLY FORMED DATE BUREAU TO SUCCOR LONELY FRESHMEN
rather get their own
By Dan Cupid
No longer will bashful University of Miami freshmen sit home by the fire and wish thut they were tripping the light fantastic with the girl or boy of their heart’s desire—this dream of shagging a Saturday ► night away is about to become a reality with the announcement that I Dan Cupid, um coming to town almost any day to formulate plans for a Date Bureau, sponsored by the Hurricane. The express purpose of this Bureau, according to a letter I received from the Hurricane, is to bring together those timid souls who otherwise would go on dreaming of their “Secret Passion” from now until a week from next Christmas. No doubt my plan, if it matures, will also be used to advantage by the older and more experienced University of Miami Romeos and Juliets.
How my wholesale invasion will be accepted by the student body depends upon the co-operation that is given the idea in order to start the ball rolling or, ns I like to say, “the heart thumping.”
As yet my plan is in the embryo stage and this is the first time that it has been publicly aired. It must be pointed out that it is a sincere effort on my part and the part of the Hurricane to fulfill a long-felt want, and r hope that it will be taken in the proper vein by the student body.
A cross-section of opinion has been heard within the Inst two or three days and I present forthwith several answers to the Inquiring Reporter’s
query, "What do you think of the Hurricane establishing a Date Bureau in order to promote friendship be tween students at the University of Miami?” The fellows received it well, as you can see.
Donald Chadderdon—“If the Date Bureau was run in a purely confidential manner so that the applicants won’t feel slighted or embarrassed in any way, I think our school, as a whole, would be benefitted by such a movement.”
Phil Bodman—“I wonder how the Hurricane Date Bureau will do in competition with the other two similar organizations on the campus?” Eugene Eley — “From the standpoint of freshman girls getting acquainted I think it’s a good idea, but | otherwise it’s not so hot.”
Eddie Turner—“It’s a good idea.
I want a blonde.”
Nat Kibble—“For out of town students it’s a good idea, but it should have been in effect some time ago.
Art Silcox—“It would certainly be a good thing for it would help to get the freshman class better acquainted.” Bud Galbraith—“It’s a fine idea.” “Cookie” Cunningham—“It’s O.K. by me. I want a date with Jane Mercer.”
Frank Taylor—“I think it sounds pretty good. Count me in on it.”
Joe Bonanno—“I could certainly use it to my advantage. Yes sir!”
As for the girls, their opinions are varied as to whether or not they should remain e pluribus unum or become a member of my big, happy family:
Frances Cummings—“I think it’s a swell idea.”
Jean Girton — “I believe that the;
boys would dates.”
Phoebe Bolton—“It would surely promote friendship.”
Marianne Hitt—“Personally, I’d be too shy to register my name.”
Marie Coleman—“Okie dokle.1 Betty Hayes—“It’s a fine idea if everyone takes advantage of it.1
Jeanne Van Devere: “If the council were made up of a girl from every sorority and a boy from every fraternity, it would be a huge success.” Winona Wehle—“I’m agin’ it.” Kay Kostibas — “It has its good points if everyone takes advantage of it.”
Yvonne Prothero—“It might make the boys too independent. They would rather choose from a list of unknowns rather than make their own choice.”
Ginny Witers—“I’d rather get my own dates.”
Ginny Aldrich—“A bureau of this kind works well in other schools— why not in Miami?”
Freda Speizman—“I frankly believe it would not be successful here because everyone knows everyone else, and it might prove embarrassing to be fixed up for a date with someone you know.”
Those interested will be asked to register with this *097#$ Bureau of the Hurricane £1 by mail and all dates and i In' arrangements therefore Lr will be made confidentially, the party of the first part being unknown to the party of the second part. These dates will not be entirely “blind,” however, as descriptions and mannerisms will be given to both interested parties.
don’t have a thing to wear.”
But problems or no, not all have 101 reasons why they shouldn’t go. As a matter of fact, some of the boys were downright pleased with the idea. George Freeman looks forward to a change in scenery, including a blonde he knows there.
Martin Smith looks forward to the cold weather and the interesting city. He has never been up that way he says.
Then school work reared its ugly head again. Roger Brown thinks the idea is o.k., but he needs the time for study.
Like It or not, and we’ll wager that deep down in their hearts they do, they’re heading north right now.

Holiday Throng of 25,000 Will Watch Charity Grid Battle
Coach Harding Revamps Starting Line-Up: Noppenberg, Corcoran Get Backfield Posts; Pittard To Start At End
Twenty-nine Hurricane gridders, and the band, bent on creating as much a stir in Washington as the election did last Tuesday, entrained for the Armistice Day clash with Catholic University yesterday morning.
A holiday crowd of more than 25,000 is expected to be on hand in Griffith Stadium tomorrow with high dignitaries of the government occupying boxes, and appropriate setting for the Hurrcianes and the school band to show their stuff. The game will be sponsored by the American Legion and proceeds will go to charity.

IRC Shows Chinese Travel Movies
At a lively meeting of the I.R.C. last night motion pictures of China and Japan were shown by the guest speaker, Robert E. Love. Mr. Love, who accompanied the showing of his pictures with an informal commentary, took many of the reels at his personal risk.
The reels, showing Japan in both its ancient and modern aspects, included candid shots of the famous Geisha dancing girls and, in contrast, the ancient temples which are largely located in the picturesque mountain regions.
The films of China were of Pekin with its forbidden city and magnificent pagodas, a donkey trip along the Great Wall of China in mid-winter, and such scenes as the Mount of Tish-Tomb of Confucious, and the monument to China’s great liberator, Dr. Sun Yat Sen.

Intramural Bridge Gains Recognition
Intramural bridge has come Miami!
Swepeing opposition before it i tidal wave of popularity, the game which husbands and wives have fought over for decades has been officially established by the Intramural Council. Fraternities, sororities, and independents are beginning team organization and schedule arrangement. Some teams have been in training for weeks, and practice scrimmages take place every afternoon.
The self-appointed committee-i charge includes Mette Williamson, Peggy O’Donnell, and Jack Madigan, master minds behind the scheme. Within a short time, the results of heated grand slams and finesses will be made public .minus a few censored facts about the bruised and battered shins of team members.
Hold Radio Tryouts Next Thursday
Tryouts for the second in a series of dramatic radio programs given by the University of Miami will be held Thursday, November 17, according to Sidney Head, director.
These programs, dramatizations of crisis in the lives of great speakers, are given every month over WQAM.
Last Monday, the initial program, ‘The Story of Patrick Henry,” was enacted by Foster Alter, assistant registrar and instructor in English, Jack Madigan, Irving Liebowitz, and Dick Roberts.
“This is an unusual opportunity for students to have valuable training in radio technique,” says Mr. Head. “We have a good spot on WQAM and receive every assistance from the station’s technical staff. We intend to maintain this program as nearly as possible at a professional level as a serious effort in the field of rndio entertainment.”
After allotting $7660 from the tivity fund budget in one fell swoop two weeks ago, the Student Senate spent most of last Tuesday’s meeting thwarting attempts to wrest from its possession the $940 balance in the student government treasury.
Sitting firmly on their money bags, the senators grudgingly doled out $350 to the intramural department, cold-shouldered a $50 petition from the Panhellenic council, and turned a deaf ear to an extra $200 request from the tennis team.
Morris Asks $460 Major portion of the two-hour meeting was spent in heated discussion of the petition from the intramural department for a $460 allotment, presented by Hart Morris, intramural director.
Senators insisted on itemizing the request on the blackboard, took immediate exception to $20 allotment for ping-pong, $50 for archery, and $110 for trophies and awards.
Morris explained that the items were not exact but that the amounts balanced each other. “I didn’t come here to argue or plead; I just came to present the petition,” thd coach pronounced on leaving.
After Morris’ departure the senators got started. Ricci, Teeter, Turner, and Iba spoke feelingly for the granting of the $460 allotment on the grounds that financial assistance should be given a department that serves so many students. Other senators were equally insistent that the senate should be sparing of the activity fund balance.
Deadlock was broken by a compromise allotment of $350 motioned by Olson, seconded by Hollahan, and passed by the senate.
No Money for Panhellenic Charlotte Meggs asked for a $50 allotment to the Panhellenic council to defray expenses of delegates to the national convention in Athens, Georgia.
The Senate gave Miss Meggs its polite attention but turned down her request the minute her back was turned.
A1 Teeter asked for $200 additional allotment to the tennis team, now that he was able to present a schedule for a 12-day tour of Eastern colleges.
On Teeter’s remark that the bus expenses alone would cost $250, President Joe Thomas brought up a suggestion that the Senate should go fifty-fifty with the administration in the purchase of a station wagon to be used by all varsity teams.
Senators gave up at this point, voted Teeter’s petition shelved, qnd went home to dinner.
Open House Sunday
A special invitation to University of Miami education students was extended this week by the Merrick Demonstration school to attend an open house Sunday, November 20, nt 4:30 p.m.
Meggs* Name Inadvertantly Omitted From 'Who'* Who’
Through a regrettable error, the name of Charlotte Megga wai omitted from the list of student* included in “Who’» Who in American Universities and Colleges in last week’s Hurricane.
Miss Meggs is a junior, member of Chi Omega social fraternity, Y.W.C.A., women’s intramural director, and delegate to the Florida
fact that we trounced the Cardinals last year, 21-0, has revamped his lineup, seeking the strongest possible combination.
Harding promoted three second stringers to starting berths. Johnny Noppenberg, who ran the Oglethorpe line dizzy, was rewarded with Terry Pox’s regular fullback post, while Mike Corcoran, a potential triplethreat, gets the call for the position John Douglas vacated at right half George Pittard, who has played quite a lot of end in the Hurricanes’ six games so far, gets the call over diminutive Frankie Paskewich at left end. Pittard’s extra weight and pass catching ability rated him above the Wauchula end.
With these exceptions the regular first string will be in there against Coach Dutch Bergman’s Cardinals. Dunn To Pl*y
Three days of hard drills showed that Capt. Eddie Dunn’s wobbly ankles are back in tip-top shape, bad news for the Catholic eleven.
Andy Csaky will round out the backfield with Dunn, Corcoran and Noppenberg. Andy is winding up a brilliant career for the Hurricanes and can be counted upon to do his duty against the Capital City boys.
Walter Kichefski is to pair with Pittard at the end posts, Jimmy Poore and Stan Raski will handle the tackle slots with Chuck Guimento and Jolly Snowden taking care of the guard holes.
Joe Dixon, who does most of the talking and dressing-up for the Hurricanes, will be backing up the line from the center post.
Cardinal. Are Underdogs The experts have Catholic down one of the four bruising contests remaining on the University of Miami schedule but from the actual looks of it, Harding's boys will have an easy time.
‘Irish” Carroll, the boy the Eastern scribes were plugging for All-America last year, is lost to the Catholic team this season, Carroll was the mainstay of the Cardinal running attack.
Viv Vidnovic, one of the East's best passers, is still with the Cardinals and may make things tough for the Hurricanes but with a stronger lino-to rush him, shouldn’t do much.
Bergman, who has had a little trouble putting together a winning combination this season, has shifted Rock Pirro, a 220-pound tackle, to the quarterback slot. Pirro is rated as an excellent field general and blocker.
Henry Sant’ Ambrogio, a sophomore, does most of the running from the tailback position for the Cardinals. He may find it a little difficult to crash the Hurricane line, though.
Last week Catholic came from behind to trip a light DePaul team from Chicago, 14 to 13. From this it looks as though the Cardinals.
looks as though the Cardinals haven’t much. And if they did, the Hurricanes would still make meat of them.
The 44-0 licking administered to the Petrels of Oglethorpe shoved the Hurricanes closer to the 200 mark in the season's scoring column. Miami now has 167 points scored against,
32 by her six opponents.
For those who don’t play football and play in the hand or couldn’t dig enough shekels to add to the railroad dividends, WQAM will present a dramatization of the game, similar to b«it of the Drake contest.
The broadcast is slated for 2:30
