^	Fraifer Voids Junior Class Election;
At Last! Something for Nothing Even If It’s Only the Hnrrleane
Yes, it’s free. Take one.
We were surprised last Friday to notice the number of stu-dents who thought they were getting away with something when they picked up a Hurricane and no one asked them for a nickel or a subscription card. One hesitant fellow surveyed all the points of the compass to see whether he was being observed before he had thè courage to take a paper.
It’s okay, friends. The HURRICANE is absolutely free. There are no strings attached. You will find them in the library, Slop Shop, entrance to the theater, and our office.
Hnrrleane Thinks of Banning LHI Abner for Vlee-Preeldeney
The Hurricane usually doesn’t meddle in politics. We figure that the Republicans and Democrats can jumble things up pretty well without our contributing to the confusion. But the latest turn of events cannot be ignored.
Here we are, in the midst of a cataclysmic strife and turmoil. And what happens? A comedienne, a Quia kid, and a gangling adolescent are reporting and intepreting the big party conventions. Not that Grade Allen, the Quiz kid, and James Farley, Jr., aren’t eligible. They’re doing about as well as some of our better known commentators are.
Gracie, for instance, has a good idea about the vice presidency. Wednesday she came out for Willkie as FDR’s running mate, an idea that has some merit. (Note to the editor r this is our personal opinion.) Grade is also worried about the ban on liquor and strip tease at the Democratic convention, whereas the Republicans had these facilities for inspiration.
After sixteen years of association with his father, unquote (the kid is all of sixteen), Jim Farley, Jr., daims to be an authority on politics. The other day he proceeded to review the vice presidential possibilities and conduded, very snappily, that HE did not choose to run. That really cleared the air for us. We were worried for a while that the kid might have some aspirations for the job.
So we feel that we are forced to make a few comments. By the time the Hurricane is off the press this week, all will be quiet on the vice presidential front. The only thing that we regret is that Li’l Abner could not be contacted before the nomination was made.
Coy Co-eds Cause Confusion:
Dateless Dames Desert Danee
It’s a man’s war, blit where are the women? At the University reception last Friday night, the .female of the spedes was sadly lacking. The situation became so drastic that two V-12s were discovered dandng with each other.
Formerly the University supplied buses to transport unescorted dorm girls to receptions and similar gffairs designed for all students. Last Friday no buses were in evidence and consequently very few girls were in evidence.
The reception was a “get-acquainted” dance, but from the looks of things, not very many students got acquainted Friday night. Using the vernacular, we think the girls are going “chicken.” It isn’t a crime to attend open University functions unescorted, especially during the war. And besides, there was an overabundance of men at the dance last week.
First year women should brush up on their freshman duties. Attendance at all University functions is one of the most important. Surely our female students aren’t developing into bookworms and homework grinds. Or are they ?
Foreign Correspondent Browne To Write FI’MSN AC Column
In contrast to our Fumsnits column, found on page four, we are momentarily expecting a dispatch. from New York which, according to our correspondent in that city, will be called “Fum-snac.” Expanded to its fullest, this means, “Former University of Miami Students Now at Columbia.”
Barbara Browne, our predecessor, will be the author. She will report, though we know not how completely, on Shelley Boone, Carlton Wilder, former members of. the local V-12 unit now in Midshipman school, and herself.
While they are not at Columbia, we hereby give Barbara permission to tattle on the activities of former students Mary Carter. Moe Burger, Jean Small, Allison Corey, Rita Smith, and Barbara Willock. All can be found in New York.
A letter came from Barbara last week but we were unable to print it. As a matter of fact, we have no one to vouch for its content. It was written in Japanese. When we do get some news horn her, something easier to translate, we will pass it on to you.

New Mentor Joins Gridders
Fresh from Freino State college, Cal-fornia, A. P. “Pix” Pier-ion has been added to the Hurricane coaching staff as line mentor unde' Eddie Dunn.
On leave of absence from the west coast school because they have abandoned football for the duration, Pierson is not new to tha members of Miami’s athletic staff. He was a coach at Tampa university and teams of both schools have met many times in the past
Unable to contact Walt Ki-chefski, only Miami grid mentor now in town, the HURRICANE learned, however, that he knew nothing 'of Pierson’s joining the staff. K.chefski’s future status is unknowi., although one more man will aid the Hurricanes immeasurable in scouting the teams which will constitute Miami’s strongest gridiron opposition since the University fielded a team.
