Miami Hurricane, September 22, 1944

              THE MIAMI 9 HURRICANE
3rd Team
Scrimmages Miami High
While three photographers mapped pictures of the first and second string players Wednesday, Coach Eddie Dunn pitted his third team against a heavy Miami Ugh school eleven in an hour and a half scrimmage.	,
The picture taking was for the football program and newspaper files. The scrimmage was to provide the high schoolers with experience.
Jim Stevens, 170-pound V-12 halfback, worked well on both offense and defense. The Chicago lad is a good backer-upper and came up fast many times Wednesday to halt Stingaree runners. Until he hurt his ankle late in the afternoon, Stevens gained more ground than any of his teammates.
The 165-pound Red Hartsfield got off the longest Miami run of the day early in the scrimmage when he tore through the line and let his tremendous leg drive carry him along.
Two weaknesses showed up in the scrimmage. Pass defense was poor and the guards pulled out of line too wide and too slowly, interfering with the runner. Hurricane secondaries missed two chances at interceptions and capitalized on one.
Because of the nature of the scrimmage no scores were made, the teams alternating on offense and defense according to the dock rather than yards gained.

Officials Consider Pians For Aquarium, Marine Laboratory
Plans for the proposed aquarium and marine laboratory, which will display tropical sea life in natural settings on a scale that threatens to rival the Museum of Natural History’s wild life group, have been presented to Dade county and University officials for consideration in the planning of post-war Miami.
Fauquher says that he expects to have one of the best cheerlead-®g squads in the history of Mi-
Of importance both as a potential educational tourist attraction and as a center for scientific research, the aquarium and laboratory wall be located near the Rickenbacker Causeway as part of the new Virginia key development facing Bear cut and Biscayne key. The entire project will cover approximately eight acres.
One of the most unusual features of the aquarium will be the showing of tropical sea life in natural settings and under conditions that will give the spectator the idea that he is watching from under the water.
Underwater Impressions
The first displays will be of animal and plant life along the shallow shore and mangrove swamps. As the corridor further descends, the water in the tanks becomes deeper until the spectator will eventually receive the impression of being below the surface in quite deep water, while on each side of him appears the corresponding life of the tropical ocean at each given depth.
Elections—
Tfcey Could Be Better Than They Are
One might think that elections were an important social function by the way that they attract the interest of the entire ttudent body—at least before the elections. After the elections— *ril, he’s a good guy, I guess. Now let’s think about something rise until election time comes round.
Election time means clever speeches, campaigns, pink and yellow circulars, blocs, political intrigue, and fun for the look-tts-on.
Judging from elections in the past, the girls and boys of "odlege caliber” are attracted to the sensational because it ®eans added excitement. Many do not take into consideration that the holding of a student government office is a serious jfchgation to the student body. Many can’t see that it is of any importance except as a political plum in some fraternity pie. >Maybe it isn’t that important, but it could be and should *. When students begin to judge candidates by their previous I*°wds instead of by the group with whom they are associ-*W, then they will begin to demand intelligent and down-to-^rth platforms in the political assembly speeches.
When they are concerned with the work of their officers ri^hout their terms of office, and check to see that they ful-their duties as leaders of the school—then the dignity of P* University of Miami will begin to grow.
The University will then be ready to change its diapers for i pants.
When the plan is effected, it will be the first time such an exact display of tropical sea garden and deep water life of the Florida reefs and of the South Florida Gulf Stream and Key area has teen presented by any aquarium.
Tropical fresh water life will also be displayed in a large number of transparent tanks.
Swamp Gardens to Be Featured
In addition to the fresh water and deep sea displays, in the patio of the aquarium building will be presented a typical section of the Everglades and mangrove swamps containing various reptiles such as alligators, native snakes, and other animals and birds peculiar to the swamp environment of South Florida.
Besides the tourist and educational attractions of the proposed project, the site will provide a (Continued on Page 2)

Court Verdict Declared Void
On the basis of lack of jurisdiction, Dean of Men Foster Alter Wednesday threw out the verdict of the Honor Court in the trial last month of the Student Association vs. Eight Freshmen.
Defense Attorney Ted Sakowitz had appealed the verdict of suspension from the student association for three defendents and guilty judgments for the several others.
In the opinion of the dean, jurisdiction for a “non-dink-wearing ’ case should have fallen to the freshman advisory council, a group organized to administer dicipline to the froh.
Potential Graduates Asked To Contact Registrar
