Justice Finds
Nathan Milstein, widely-known violinist, played the Tschaikowski “Violin in D Major” with the Uhi-versity symphony orchestra and the orchestral presented Weber’s “Oberon” overture and Brahm’s “Second Symphony in D Major” under the direction of Dr. Mo-deste Alloo, at the first concert of the season Sunday afternoon.
Milstein displayed a full, beautiful tone throughout the range of the concerto, and never lost control of that tone. Undoubtedly, Milstein is one of the outstanding violin artists in this, or any other country, and his rendition of the very difficult Tschaikowski

Associated Collegiate Press association critical service for the semester ending June, ’43. As previously reported,! this paper was awarded a First Class honor rating for that period.
Hurricanes Revamped For Saturday Tussle
A revamped University of Miami football team—at full strength for the first time since its three straight triumphs over Jacksonville NATTC, Camp Gordon, and Charleston Coast Guard—meets a veteran Presbyterian college eleven at 8:15 p.m. Saturday night in the only all-college football game in Florida for the 1943 gridiron season.
In all, the Hurricane received 905 points out of a possible 1125. It missed the Alll-American honor rating (1000 points) by 95 points.
Highest score was given to the news writing and editing. “Good news sense is indicated in relative play of facts,” was the judge’s comment.
Other comments incuded “Pretty good variety in types of material on front page and readable editorials.”
Criticism was centered around the sports coverage, which the judge considered “threadbare” and the lack of interviews and speech reports carried by the Hurricane.
In rating “Department Pages and Special Features,” the judge wrote, “Where does comment on ‘Hooeycane’ (this is the April First edition of the paper which last year was a humor magazine) belong? Anyway, it was a good job. And why don't you hire the fellow that wrote the Parker ad on the back page?”
Given the highest score possible were the page makeup and printing of inside news, editorial page columns, with “vitality,” news story content and organization, copyreading and proofreading, headlines, and typography also rated high.
Hardin V. Stuart, magna cum Iaude, ’43, was editor of the paper last year.

concerto was almost without flaw. The orchestra accompanied sympathetically, at all times keeping beneath the soloist, allowing his tone to assert itself.
The Brahms went smoothly enough, especially the third movement, but somehow missed the completeness and flow of the Brahm’s “First” which was given at the opening concert of last season. The second movement, especially, faltered at the beginning and never seemed to get going. This symphony also lacked the unity of conception and execution which Dr. Alloo usually appears to have for Brahma. But

The Y. W. iC. A. purpose of promoting frjendliness among women of the ¡campus is boosted by such affairs as the Spinster Stomp and dhristmas Service. Membership fetj is fifty cents per trimester.
Assisting irj the campaign, which will last ¡all next week, are Mary Ruth Hiyes and Frances Bennett.
this is not to imply that the total impression of the symphony was unfavorable, foir it was favorable definitely.
“Oberon,” one of the most popular of eonceft overtures, was played almost lustily enough, although the tempo throughout gave the impression of being a trifle slow.
Milstein offered as his encore "Variations on ¡a Theme?” by Paganini, which exhibited his good taste, and, incidentally, his fine technique at considerable length. K was enthusiastically received as was the remjúnder of the concert.—DJ
Coach Eddie Dunn’s charges, ready to regain their prestige as the nation’s 24th ranking team which they held before a 20—0 defeat at the hands of an improved NATTC team, will be two-touchdown favorites over the more experienced Blue Stockings.
Contest marks the first athletic relations between Miami and the Clinton, S. C- school, which, however, has played several games successfully in recent years with Rollins college and Stetson university. This year the Blue Stockings are an ¿1-civilian team, but have played one of the toughest schedules in the South.
Many Regular» Return
Presbyterian, which boasted more experienced returning regulars at the start of the season than the Hurricanes, has come through its ten-game slate with five victories and as many defeats. Although many of the Hose’s reserves were inexperienced at the start of the season, most of them are well trained now.
The Blue Stocking substitutes played large parts in besting Clemson and V-12 Newberry by 13—12 scores, which enabled P. C. to finish second in the South Carolina football race. Only strong South Carolina beat Presbyterian in intra-state competition, and the Gamecocks were hard pressed for a 20—7 triumph.
Miami’s starting team will see three changes in the starting lineup with scamper-back Bill Eisnor replacing Walter Watt at left halfback. Although Watt’s defensive play has been much better than expected, he has been unable to get away on any of his copyrighted naked reverses. Eisnor is among the fastest men on the Big Breeze’s outfit and has shown well in scrimmages this week.
Kinsey Gets Berth
John Kinsey, veteran linesman from Fort Lauderdale’s powerhouse football teams who first saw action in the second NATTC contest, will take over Bull Barwick’s position at tackle.
Bill Levitt, who played a bang-up game against NATTC, has beaten Lonnie Deas out of the starting role at guard opposite Leon Schultz, now fully recovered from his injuries.
Schultz, whose punting has improved greatly in practice this week, will do most of the team’s kicking, dropping into the back-field and allowing Harvey James to come into his line position. James is no stranger at the guard position, and the change should prove profitable, for punting, which won the first Jacksonville game, was a sore spot in the second tussle.
Signal-Calling Better
James played great defensive ball against NATTC, and his signal-calling has improved greatly in the two weeks since the tilt. “Gee-Chee” has has also picked up speed, which will be needed in running back any of Presbyterian’s numerous passes which may be intercepted. James was in the clear on his 30-yard return of an intercepted aerial in the Jacksonville game, but was too slow to get away.

Our Poet-War Aim:
An Early H'cane
Most good newspapers have late editions. So has the hurricane. At least it seems so, judging by the belated appearance of this paper the last two weeks. The only drawback is that other papers have early editions.
Our apologies to our subscribers. Those late Hurricanes could have been avoided if our staff of gremlins had been given the raise they asked for. We refused. So they went to work on the mechanical end of the Hurricane. Last week, they spilled two whole pages of type on the print shop floor, a little trick that set our printer back about three hours and had him groveling on the floor salvaging the two pages.
We are keeping our fingers crossed about today’s edition. Please report what time you received your copy to the editor. If it is as late as the two previous issues, you will find her swinging from limb to limb on any convenient palm tree.—REG
