Z 101 The Miami THE OFFICIAL STUDENT NEW SPAPER OF Hurricane THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI Volume XIII Coral Gables, Florida, May 9, 1940 Number 30 Hurricanes Face Alumni in Annual Quarterbacks’ Game Tomorrow ****** ***** ****** Laying in ambush are these Hurricane varsity gridders, waiting to pounce on the “big-name ’ boys (the alumni) when they tangle in the annual Quarterbacks’ Club game tomorrow night at the Orange Bowl. Honorary Societies Tap in Assembly 'Magic Flute’ Opens Today In Theatre Mozart’s Operetta Will Also Be Produced On Friday, Sat. Nights “Kaspar the Bassoonist,” or “The Magic Zither” was the operetta which competed with Mozart’s musical gem back in 1791, when nobody foresaw that the modem “Magic Flute” would appear on the stage of the Cardboard Theatre tonight, tomorrow, and Saturday, May 13, 14, and 15. The Billy Rose of that century, one Schikaneder by name, also had a hand in the 1791 version, which tried to be an allegory of Freemasonry and succeeded in being both confused and confusing. But that was long before the time when Frederick Koch, Jr. began to coach lines and Henry Gregor began to beat time for the University's version of “The Magic Flute.” Lloyd, Ginsburg To Sing That’s not the whole story at all. Mozart’s music does form the songs which Isabel Lloyd, soprano, and Edwin Ginsburg, basso, will sing. But neither Kaspar the Zitherist nor the freemason’s creed have anything to do with the version of the libretto which they will act. A Scotsman named J. Michael Diack mixed into the tale of the writing of the action by preparing the modern version, which is known as “Papageno” for the leading character. And J. Michael himself is responsible for tonight’s version; at least as far as the words and story go. The tale to be presented on the stage tonight is a dramatization of the fairy tale in which a pair of lovers, Papageno and Papagena, foil the villain with the use of a charmed musical instrument which makes the black- | CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR] Pi Kappa Alpha To Install New Miami Chapter Phi Alpha, the oldest Greek-letter organization on the University of Miami campus, will be installed as Gamma Omega chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha national fraternity on Friday and Saturday, May 17 and 18. Initiation ceremonies will be conducted Friday evening, with Dr. Freeman H. Hart, national president, R. M. McFarland, executive secretary, Horace F. Smith, district president, and a hundred local alumni and representatives from Pi K A chapters in the South to be present for the ceremonies. An installation banquet at the Coral Gables Country Club will be held Saturday night, to be followed by a dance in honor of the visiting national officers, alumni, and the new members. Over 40 members of Phi Alpha will be installed as charter members of the Gamma Omega chapter. Founded at the University of Virginia in 1868, Pi Kappa Alpha is one of the oldest national fraternities. This will be its 80th chapter on college campuses throughout the entire country. The Phi Alpha local was originated on July 8, 1926, and was the first fraternity at the University. Acceptance of their petition was received by Humes Lasher, president of Phi Alpha, in a telegram from Dr. Hart Tuesday night. Alice Boyd Magruder Wins Poetry Prize Alice Boyd Magruder was awarded the Brett poetry prize this week by a committee of judges for her poem “Realization.” It will be published in the 1940 Ibis. The prize is awarded to the outstanding poem written by a student entrant by Mrs. George P. Brett in memory of her husband, who was a famous publisher. The ten dollar award was given to Alice Boyd because Dr. Clarke 01-ney, Lewis Leary, and Mrs. Natalie Grimes Lawrence adjudged her poem the best. Runner-up poem was also her work, and was entitled “Poet’s Corner.” “The Poet” by Elliot Nichols was given third place mention. PRESBYTERIAN POT-LUCK Because of the success of last month’s supper, the College Presbyterian Organization will sponsor another pot-luck supper in the social hall tonight. All members and prospective members are urged to attend this final meeting of the year. Dr. James V. Johnson, pastor of Westminster Presbyterian church, will speak. Pep Parade Welcomes Hurricane Tennis Stars Coach Gardnar Mulloy’a undefeated Hurricane nettera, reigning national champions, will be officially welcomed Friday afternoon at four o’clock in a pep parade down Flagler Street, originating at the Court House.

Three tennis rackets will be the prizes for the best decorated student cars for the event. Mayor Paul McGarry, Jack Bell, Everett Clay, Dinty Dennis, Dr. J. Holden Beckwith, and numerous other sports enthusiasts will be on hand. The University band cheerleaders will add the music and color for the occasion. 'Snuffy' To Introduce New Popular Song At Frolics Friday Though dozens of junior proms may have nationally known orchestras, only one Freshman Frolics will introduce an original popular song, written and sung by freshmen. All freshmen who checked out tickets to the Frolics to sell are requested to return the ticket money to Jack Kendall today. That Freshman Frolics dance is the one being staged tomorrow night at the Sky Dance Club by University of Miami frosh. The song, written by Don Angell and “Snuffy” Smith, and being introduced by Babs Morley, is titled “So Lovely.” Dedi9ated to the Frolics, the song is pronounced Hit Parade stuff by all who have heard the recording of it which was made Tuesday. Introduction of the song is just one of seven acts in a 49 minute floor show, arranged by “Snuffy.” Babs will sing “Isle of May” and “Careless” in addition to “So Lovely.” Gracia Lawless will also sing several special arrangements. There will be a trumpet novelty, impersonations, quartette numbers by Earl Reinart, Ed Ginsberg, Don Littlefield and Beecher Thornton; a drum exhibition by John Brennan, and a special routine by Anne Bigger and “Snuffy.” The show will go on at 11:30, with Keith Phillips as master of ceremonies. Hundreds of balloons are the keynote to decoration, Chairman Lorraine Corsiglia reports. The Frolics committee voted to admit varsity football players free of charge, but “M” club members at the regular price of 49 cents. Drag tickets are 85 cents. Concert Next Friday To Honor Dr. Volpe An all American concert in memory of the late Dr. Arnold Volpe will be played by Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia in the Cardboard Theater next Friday night. Sinfonia will present a brass ensemble, a woodwind quintet, a string quartet, and several numbers by their chorus. Arturo De Filippi will be assisting artist. As it is an aim of Sinfonia to sponsor and foster American music, the fraternity will honor Dr. Volpe for his achievements in that field, as well as for his membership in the fraternity. Dr. Volpe began the Lewissohn stadium concerts in New York, organized the Young Men’s Symphony of New York and the Kansas City Symphony orchestra. His composition “String Quartet,” played at the Deauville hotel last winter by the Gordon String Quartet, will be featured in the concert. Tickets for the concert are $1.00 general admission and 50 cents student admission, upon the presentation of student activity books. MAGGIE [THAT'S MISS KLOTZ] By Margaret Klotz If you think Christmas is as slow as —well, Christmas in coming around, you’ve an extra kick coming for something faintly resembling the Freshman Frolics. In fact, this poor neglected event was postponed so many times that I’d decided to pack up my playthings and forget the whole affair. However, with the help of the merciful stjcktuity of a selected few, the time for the dear, forgotten Freshmen to be in the social spotlight was set for Friday night. The Sky Dance Club will supply this setting, which means we’ll be “dawncing” under the starry heavens. Crawford Parker, the poster im-pressario, has done everything but advertise the Frolics in Neon lights under the University seal in front of the school. It’s worse than election time as far as bulletin board propa- Law School ToBeMoved Next Year University Purchases Hugo Apts.; Will Start Remodeling on June 1 Law school of the University of Miami will move to a new building in September, it was announced this week. Dr. Bowman F. Ashe formally reported the purchase of the Hugo Apartments, 439 Anastasia Avenue, on Saturday. The title to the property, which is 100 yards north of the Main Building, will be transferred on June 1, when the University will start remodeling the building to house the law school next fall. Faculty offices, classrooms, club rooms, and a model court room will be included in the plans of remodeling. Law Library Moves The law school library will also be removed to the new building. This library is the second largest in the state, having more than 14,000 volumes, being exceeded only by the Florida Supreme Court. Built in 1925 by Hugo Brown at a cost of $90,000, the building was sold to the University for $25,000. It is a two-story structure housing at present 16 efficiency units and 4 rftoms. First Branch To Move The law department is the first academic branch of the University to have a separate building of its own. Occupation of the new section is expected to further establish the university law school, which is working towards a class A ranking with the American Bar Association and the Association of American Law Schools. Three years of college academic work are required for admittance to the law school, which is one of three in the state approved by the Supreme Court. New Broadcast Series Starts Over WKAT A new series of University broadcasts, called “National Minorities in Europe Today,” were inaugrated over WKAT last Sunday at 9:30 p.m. In connection with the present war, Dr. H. Franklin Williams of the history department will discuss the history, nature and importance of national minorities on these programs. Instead of lecturing, Dr. Williams converses with “Joe Smith,” an average American. He is assisted by Herbert Hochstetter, Bob Zeeman and A1 Collins. A mimeographed map of nationalities is being prepared by Dr. Williams, and will be sent to listeners upon request. Choosing a book published in 1791 instead of a current best-seller, Dr. Clarke Olney will review Boswell’s “Life of Samuel Johnson” on Critics Circle this afternoon (WIOD, 3:30). Mr. Sydney Head will review a book-length survey just published by Princeton on the famous Orson Welles drama of last year, called “Invasion from Mars” by Hadley Cantril. Tuesday’s broadcast will be a musical. one, under the direction of Miss Bertha Foster (WIOD, 3:30). Time of the Tuesday and Thursday broadcasts has been changed from 4:45 because of shifts in national programs. “What's New at the U” last night featured Chuck Guimento, Eddie Dunn, Jack Harding and Hart Morris in a round-table discussion of Friday’s Quarterbacks’ Club spring practice game. PROMISES 'CHAWMING' EVENT ganda is concerned—and that is serious! “Gramp” (one of Crawford’s aliases) seems to want us to see Senator “Snuffy” and Bigger the Better, who are going to be slightly sensational with their “College Joe Jump.” The Senator and Don Angell have composed a new song that should score a home run on the Frolics Hit parade. Babs Morley and Gracia Lawless have been giving the dorra-me’s a healthy workout while preparing for their act. Then there’s that eternal question about admission that all of you lads are probably worrying about. Well, the varsity football players will be able to “climb the fence,” the “M” Club members will be able to slip in for 49c, and the rest of you fellows will have to beg borrow or steal 85c. But something tells me it’s going to be a “simply chawming’* event. Nu Kappa Tau Taps* 9 Women Students Nine junior and senior women students, with a B scholastic average and a record of leadership in extracurricular activities, were formally tapped by black-robed Nu Kappa Tau members in Tuesday’s assembly.

Dunn, Masterson, Play For Grads; Students in Free Eddie Dunn and Bob Masterson, the two greatest football players that ever wore the Orange, Green, and White of the University of Miami, will lead a picked squad of alumni against Coach Jack Harding’s varsity on the gridiron of Roddey Burdine Stadium tomorrow night. The game, which replaces the usual intra-squad affair, is sponsored by the Quarterbacks Club, and, with the exception of University students, whose activity books will be honored at the gate, only Quarterbacks will be admitted. Attendance of between 5,000 and 7,000 is expected. Alumni Starter* For the alumni, Dunn has picked his starting lineup from over thirty graduates who reported for practice Tuesday on the Biltmore golf course. Yesterday afternoon, the starting lineup was announced with Frank Paskewich. ’40, and Walt Kichefski, ’40, at ends, and Stan Raski, ’40, and Frank Kuder, ’36, at tackles.

Joe Dixon, ’40, will handle the alumni pivot position, Andy Csaky will play quarterback and block for halfback Eddie Dunn, '39, as he did in days of old.

Johnny Kur-ueza, Bill Steiner, Red Tobin, and “Terrible Terry” Fox constitute the starting backfield. Captain Dunn’s stars have no definite system of play, and plan to combine “razzle-dazzle” with “punt, pass, and pray.” Because many of his squad are out of training, Dunn intends to substitute frequently from his reserves who include Bob Grimes, Doss Tabb, Frank Petrow, Georgie Back, Grant Stockdale, Carl Jones, Dick Gostowski, Don Salisbury, Red Duncan, Nick Seminoff, Bob Olson, Bill Black, Johnny Oespovich, George Pittard, Verdun Arries, Walter Dan-sky, Jack Dicker, and George Hamilton. CAA Students End Ground, Flight Tests Civil Aeronautics Authority, the government-subsidized course at the University which is one of similar ones being provided to representative colleges all over the country, is giving its last tests this week planning for a complete shut-down of the sessions on June 3.

PROMISES 'CHAWMING' EVENT ganda is concerned—and that is serious! “Gramp” (one of Crawford’s aliases) seems to want us to see Senator “Snuffy” and Bigger the Better, who are going to be slightly sensational with their “College Joe Jump.” The Senator and Don Angell have composed a new song that should score a home run on the Frolics Hit parade. Babs Morley and Gracia Lawless have been giving the dorra-me’s a healthy workout while preparing for their act. Then there’s that eternal question about admission that all of you lads are probably worrying about. Well, the varsity football players will be able to “climb the fence,” the “M” Club members will be able to slip in for 49c, and the rest of you fellows will have to beg borrow or steal 85c. But something tells me it’s going to be a “simply chawming’* event.
