Register For
Draft Oct. 16
In a little less than two weeks,
October 16 to be exact, college students who have reached the age of
21 must register along with the rest
of the nation's men for selective service. College men have been granted
certain exemptions and privileges,
but they are required to register.
Regardless of his legal residence,
the student may register at any convenient place of registration. If he
requests it, the county clerk will
mail his registration card to his home
town draft board for consideration.
In any case, he must ask that his
year of service be deferred until his
degree has been obtained. No college
men will be called until the end of
the school year or until July, 1941.

the senate chambers. Dave Phillips,
chief justice, will preside, while the
following problems are discussed:

of Elaine Devery, who has not returned to school?
(2) Is it constitutionally proper
for Winifred Wood and Dan Satin
to hold office as Senior Senators,
when, in fact, they are registered as
freshman law students?
(3) Is it constitutionally proper
for the Senate to meet before the
freshman senators are elected?
(4) What procedure should be followed to fill the vacancy in the senior class presidency, Charlie Franklin
not having returned to school?

Hurricanes Blow Lid off '40 Season
Against Stetson Tomorrow Night
Stehlin Gives Up War and High Adventure  for Classroom
In the latter part of 1937, a 15-
ycar old prep school student boarded
a ship headed for Europe. On his
passport in large, black letters were
the words, Not Valid in Spain. Less
than a month later, that young man
was driving a Spanish ammunition
truck, and before long he marched
into the city of Madrid with the victorious Royalist troops of Franco.
And that experience was only the
beginning for Charley Stehlin, veteran of three wars at the ripe old age
of eighteen and now a special student at the University of Miami.
It was school or more war for
Charley, and he finally decided in
favor of the textbooks, although he
came very close to leaving for Eng-
hind. But soldiering is nothing new
in the Stehlin family. His father,
known to many as Col. Joe Stehlin
was one of the youngest pilots in the
famed Lafayette Escadrille, and
while flying beneath the tricolor of
France in the first World War,
brought down eighteen German
planes. When the war was over, Col.
Joe went to Poland, helped organise
the Polish Air Force and fight the
invading   Communist   armies.   After
that, he joined up with the White
Russian forces, and from there went
to the Latvian army. He topped it
off by battling on the side of the
French again, this time against the
Riffs in North Africa. He ended up
with thirteen decorations, world-wide
fame, and a home at Miami Beach.
Career  A* Legionaire  Halted
After the war in Spain was washed
up, Charley looked around for some
more action and then headed for
South America on a German ship. His
ship put in at the Canary Islands
when war was declared on Germany
last year, and the trip to South America was off. He took an English
steamer to Southampton, went from
there to Paris, and prepared to join
the French Foreign Legion. Unfortunately for his plans, the United
States took a hand and put its thumbs
down on citizens fighting under foreign flags. Thus ended the career of
the younger Stehlin as a Legionaire.
In November, 1939, Charley
learned that Finland needed pilots
and aerial gunners. With six other
Americans, including a former commander of the Chinese Air Force and
several who flew for Loyalist Spain,
he flew to Sweden and crossed the
Finnish border in 40 degrees below
zero weather. American and Italian
planes, ordered and promised, never
arrived, so that when the boys did
fly, it was in antique Swedish observation ships. After a month or so of
cold and inactivity, the Finns offered
to transfer them to the Finnish Foreign Legion, already consisting of
nineteen men, where they could fight
as infantrymen. It was no go.
Drive*   Ambulance
So back to Paris went our boy
Charley. Eager to do something, he
joined the American Field Service in
France. He drove a three-quarter ton
ambulance, and in March was sent
to Beauvais, a hospital center fairly
close to the front. When the Battle
of France began, and the Germans
began to break through, his section
was sent to Amiens. There they found
a shelled, bombed, and burning city.
From what he has seen in Europe,
Stehlin believes it is a question of
the United States giving 100% aid
to England now or fighting the totalitarian states alone within ten years.
If trouble with Germany comes, it
will come over South America.
Activity Books
Ready Today in
Business Office
Student activity books, without
which students cannot attend tomorrow's fotoball game, will be given out
today or possibly tomorrow morning
in the business office or some nearby
room designated for that purpose.
Because of delay in the identification photographs, 'the books have
been held up. In order to obtain a
book, each student must have his or
her student registration card. This
is very important, and no activity
books will be given out unless this
specific identification can be presented.
Law Candidates
Must Meet New
Requirements
Beginning with the present academic year, three years of college
work are required for entrance to
the law school, instead of two, the
former requisite, About 55 students
have met the requirements and are
attending classes in the new building, 938 Anastasia Avenue, formerly the Hugo Apartments.
Degree  Requirement*  Revised
Applicants for the law degree only
must have acquired 90 credit points
with a one point quality average during the prerequisite three years.
Ninety-two credit hours and points
will be required of those who intend
to receive the combined six-year
course. Upon completion of the first
year in the Scholo of Law, the student will receive the regular academic degree, bachelor of science in business administration. After an additional two years' work, he will receive the bachelor of law degree.
The law library, occupying most of
the first floor of the building, is second in size in the .state to that of
the Supreme Court. In addition to
many periodicals, state and federal
reports, it contains about 26,000 original briefs filed by individual lawyers with the State Supreme Court.
The faculty personnel includes:
Dean R. A. Rasco, W. J. Hester,
Lauffer T. Hayes, L. A. Haslup, replacing Mr. Robert McKenna, who
is working on his doctor's degree at
Duke University, George E. Holt, J.
M. Flowers, Judge Earl Curry, and
Mrs. Herberta Ann Leonardy, librarian,
WARNING TO FRESHMEN
Because of excessive noise and disturbance made by freshmen guarding
their bonfire Tuesday night, Coral
Gables police, city officials, and U.
J. Hiss, University business manager,
have issued a formal warning that
no activity must take place after
11 p.m. If neighboring residents continue to be annoyed, the bonfire permits will be withdrawn by the city.
Harding's Boys Rated Slight Favorites
Over Heavy Up-State Eleven
With their starting lineup still doubtful, tlie grid hopefuls of Coach
Jack Harding will inaugurate the University of Miami's 1940 football
season against the ever-tough Hatters of John B. Stetson University tomorrow nighl at 8:15 in Roddey Burdine Memorial Stadium. For the first time
in  University grid  history,  a  garnet
captain will be appointed before each
game.
Stetson Lineup
Stetson, smarting under a 6 to 0
defeat administered by Tampa last
Friday night, will bring a big veteran
line and fast-stepping pony backfield
here. Probable starting line for the
M Club Dance
The M club will hold its first
dance of the season at the Coral
Gables Country Club immediately
after the football game Friday
night. The tickets are $1.10 a
couple and $.55  stag.
SENATE TO MEET
First meeting of the student senate will be held on Tuesday, October 8, at 10:30 in the senate
chamber. All senators are requested to be present.
boys from Deland will be: Lyn Arnold, 218 pounds, and Bill Brennan,
180, at end; Ralph Brant, 215, and
Ed Hughes, 195, at tackle; Vlnce
Stacey, 185, and Bob Gaughan, 180,
at guard; and center Frank Buchan,
170. In the backfield are Bennie
Smith, 145-pound quarterback, Walt
McDonell, 185-pound fullback, and
Ed May and Burr Wagner, two 165-
pound halfbacks. Smith and McDonell were the outstanding men in the
Stetson lineup against Tampa, and
with the valuable game experience
gained last week, will be more than
ready for the Hurricanes.
Coaches Harding and Morris have
drilled their forces until dark all
this week against the dangerous passing and running plays the Hatters
will use. The Frosh, using Stetson
plays, were good for several touchdowns against the varsity Monday
afternoon.
Hurricane Starters
Probable starting lineup for the
Hardingmen will find Bill Totterdale
and Joe Krutulis at end, and big Tom
"Kutch" Kearns and either Frank
Lehn or Bill Wunder at tackle. Senior Jolly Snowden will most likely
hold down one guard spot, with Nick
Broker his probable running-mate.
The pivot post will be held down by
either Paul Carifeo or Maston
O'Neal. In the backfield, the signal-
calling position is a toss-up between
roommates Dutch Trobliger and
Johnny Kurucza. Terry Fox will start
at fullback, Bill Steiner at one half,
and the other either Johnny Douglas
or Red Tobin.
Jack Rice, big 225-pound tackle is
the only Hurricane who will not be
ready for action. "Puffy" has been
on the sidelines for three weeks with
a bad kneee, but he hopes to be in
shape to go against Tampa next
week.
IRC Will Meet
Next Wednesday
Due to a conflict with the Quarterback's Club parade, the International
Relations Club has postponed its
meeting until next Wednesday, October 9, at 8:00 p.m., in the Card
Room of the Administration Building. A panel discussion on American
foreign policy is scheduled. All are
invited.
Hot Time Hardly
Describes QB's
Pep Parade
By Margaret Klotz
If the fellow who wrote "There'll
be a hot time in the old town tonight!" had seen the Quarterbacks
Club parade last night, he'd gone
wild looking through the dictionary
for a word that is hotter than "hot"
to describe it!
With the bands from miles around
coming in to put in their note-full,
there was enough noise to satisfy
even "Dutch" Kirkland. Jim Beusse
put himself in the spotlight by lighting up the entire freBhman group
with pink and green flares, from
which the magic perfume of sulphur
filled the air and almost choked us
to death.
Following the freshman group was
the official Vigilance Committee car,
maneuvered by Jim Jeffrey, who is
now being treated in some near-by
sanitarium for nervous prostration.
The follow-ups consisted of the various fraternity and sorority cars
decorated in the most familiar orange, green, and white. One group,
afraid of not winning the prize with
one car, entered six or seven, and
then had to revive slavery to even
get recognition. The idea that we
should strip Stetson like unto their
darkest "shine" was a swell idea,
but we could hardly see the darkie,
the car, or even the Miami colors for
the fraternity name splattered all
over the car. Yes sir, Hail To The
Spirit of Miami U!
The freshman march on Flagler
terminated in Bayfront Park, where
we all commenced to strain our vocals and yell and sing and yell, while
Dutch Kirkland, Mr. Longenecker,
Dr. Beckwith, and Eddie Dunn added
the obligntos and kept up our morale.

Gore, Penke
Head Tentative
f Androcles' Cast
Flash! Man turns into lion. No, it
didn't happen in the chemistry department, or even in zoology lab, but
in that never-ending source of surprises, the Drama department.
In the tentative cast of "Androcles
and the Lion," Bill Gore, pride of
Kappa Sigma, was given the signal
honor of playing the lion, whose sole
function in life is to eat Christians.
But he becomes enamoured of Androcles, a little Christian tailor <the
part will be played by Paul Pencke)
and— but that would give away the
plot.
Comedy Under Head's Direction
The play, which is one of George
Bernard Shaw's best comedies is
scheduled for October 30, 31, and
November 1, to be held in the Cardboard Theatre under the direction of
Sydney Head.
Try-outs were held Monday, and
competitors were narrowed down to
a tentative cast, which reads like a
Roman scandal sheet: Magaera, Barbara Willock; Centurian, Seymour
Unger; Captain, Robert Zeeman, Eddie Ginsburg, or Dan Greenfield; La-
vinia, Mary Alice Kirton; Spintho,
Irving Lebowitz; Ferovious, Gordon
Sherwood, Arnold Kay, or Eddie
Ginsburg; Metellus, Robert Remus;
Lentulus, Lloyd Symanski, or Robert
Zeeman; Call Boy, Lowell Veach;
Caesar, Edward Gaylor.
