Hurricanes Seek Initial Win Over Carolina Friday
Gamecocks Have Won But One of Six Tough Games
Smarting under three successive defeats, our fighting Hurricanes will do battle with a strong University of South Carolina eleven in the Orange Bowl Stadium, Friday night at 8:15.
Lose 5, Win 1
South Carolina's record for the year stands at five losses and one win, compared with four losses and three wins for the Orange, Green, and White.
The Gamecocks, who play major opposition every week, have thrown a real scare into some of the outstanding teams in the South and East. In their first game of the season, and playing off form, they lost to a flashy Georgia outfit, 33 to 2. Coming back on the rebound the next week they forced a heavily-favored Duquesne University to stage a brilliant comeback to win 27 to 21. Against the powerful Clemson Tigers, the Carolina lads were nosed out for the second consecutive week, 21 to 13. Penn State kept their unbeaten slate intact by converting two breaks int otouchdowns to come out on the long end of a 13 to 0 score. Furman won 25-7 last week.
Starting for South Carolina will be Fred Lytle and Alex “Jeep” Urban at the ends, Elmore Carter and Bill Applegate at the tackles, Joe Kri-vonak and Joe Patrine at the guards, and Louis Sossamon at center. In the Jiackfteld will be “Dutch” Elston at «.iiarterback, the brilliant DeWitt Arrowsmith at full, and Harvey Blouin and A1 Grygo at the halfback posts.
Drill Air Defence
This week’s practice has found Coach Harding drilling his charges on pass defense against the air-minded ’Cocks. The Hurricanes have been fairly successful in stopping the aerial attack, but has had trouble with the tricky Carolina offense.
Starting for Miami will be H. J. Lee and Joe Krutulis at the flanks, Bill Wunder and “Kutch” Kearns at • tackles, Captain Jolly Snowden and [ either Matt Borek or Nick Broker at f guards, and Maston O’Neal at cen-; ter. Johnny Kurucza will get the call > at quarterback, with Terry Fox at i fullback, and Red Tobin and Red Bogart at the halfback posts.
I Laiigh’ghouse, Odell Govern Christians
Co presidents will govern the new-| ly formed Christian Organization, it 6Vas decided at a meeting of the ¡regroup, whose membership is con-V fined to members of the Disciples of P Christ Churches, last Thursday.
Birdie Laughinghouse and Harry Odell were elected to head the group and Mary Olive Rife was chosen as secretary and treasurer. E. Morton Miller will be asked to act as advisor to the group.

Lawyers, Card Stunt Receive Appropriations
Inaugurating the publication of the University of Miami Lawyer, a law review, will be a project of the law school this year, following a loan of $300 granted the school by the Student Senate during its meeting yesterday, Appropriations to the athletic department and card stunt committee constituted the remainder of business on the floor.
$43 to Card Stunt
A total amounting to three dollars per student was given the athletic department, while $43.85 was awarded the card stunt committee to pay a debt incurred for the Florida-Miami football game. Although Dan Satin moved that the card stunt petition be tabled until the Senate’s next meeting to provide more time for consideration, he was overrun and the motion to grant the amount was carried.
A second petition from the card stunt committee was read, asking for $12 with which to install an amplifying system for the last three football games. Mr. Orr stated that the system is necessary in order that students “working” the cards may be given complete directions. Much controversial discussion followed. Winifred Wood moved that the Senate decide whether or not the amplifying system should be used. The motion was seconded and carried, after which it was decided that the system would not be used.
Table Y Petition
Although the YWCA petitioned the organization for $100 to send delegates to state and regional conferences, the petition was tabled until a later date.
While complete details arc not yet available concerning the proposed law review, it is to be distributed to various law schools throughout the country. If the project is successful, the Student Senate will be reimbursed by law students for the loan.

FRATERNITIES MEET AT 12:30
Interfraternity council members will meet today at 12:30 in Room 216. The revised constitution will be read.
and frosh meetings formerly held’ this year and in past years.
Every upperclassman will be mobilized into a powerful Vigilance Committee and will be permitted to carry and use paddles. Any form of hazing permitted under freshman rules will be allowed. According to Blount, freshmen who have not worn and are not wearing their dinks will suffer the severest form of punishment.
Then, a week from next Tuesday, a Frosh-Sophomore Field Day has been tentatively scheduled. The losing class in this series of athletic events has to build the bonfire for the Georgia game, and members of the Vigilance Committee are already promising that if they should possibly lose, the bonfire they build will make this year’s freshman efforts seem puny by comparison.
As -a major part of Hell Week, freshmen will be forcibly requested to build an extremely large bonfire for the Homecoming celebration over the weekend of November 28-30.
In addition to the announcement of the plans his committee has for hazing, Blount advised freshmen not to inquire into the official scholastic status of any paddle-carrying upperclassmen as far as quality points and credits were concerned.

Good Cooks Still Get the Husbands
Durham, N.H. (ACP) — Blondes may have been the gentlemen’s choice a few years back, but today the girl who can cook has little trouble in finding a husband.
This fact has been borne out through a study made by the University of New Hampshire’s appointment bureau. Women graduates have had no trouble placing themselves as teachers in home economics. During recent years vacancies reported to the bureau have been double the number of girls eligible to fill them.
The reason: Turnover in the home economics field is high because the average teacher marries within three years.
