Several women members of the faculty were introduced, including Mrs. Melanie Rosborough, instructor in German, who spoke on “The Advancement of the Freedom of Women in the Social World,” reviewing some of the outstanding women who promoted this change in attitude.
Jeanne Girton reviewed the history and purpose of the organization for the benefit of the new students. Representing the V.C., Louise Miller gave the freshmen instructions for the week.
College Men 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.
Students Invited to Attend Open Session Monday; Phillips Will Preside
Four important cases will be considered by tjie Honor Court at an open session Monday at 3:30 p.m. in the senate chambers. Dave Phillips, chief justice, will preside, while the following problems are discussed:
(1)	Can the Honor Court function without the presence on the bench 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?
Students wishing to present arguments on any of the above cases are requested to be present to advise the court in the capacity of amicus curiaj (friend of the court).

The next Interfraternity meeting will be held this Thursday evening at 7:30 p.m. at the Phi Epsilon Pi house.
Stehlin Gives Up War and High Adventure for Classroom
In the latter part of 1937, a 16-year 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 England. 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 organize 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 Aa 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.
Drives 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.

Law Candidates Must Meet New Requirements

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 25,000 original briefs filed by individual lawyers with the State Supreme Court.

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.

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.
boys from Deland will be: Lyn Arnold, 218 pounds, and Bill Brennan, 180, at end; Ralph Brant, 215, and Ed Hughes, 195, at tackle; Vince 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 halfback». 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 freshman 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 obligatos and kept up our morale.
Resident Women Elect Officers
Although there are two separate dormitories this year, the Student Council of the Resident Women Students will undergo no fundamental changes. Officers for the year were elected at the joint meeting held Monday night in the social hall of the main building.
Upperclassmen at the Santander named Sylvia Locke, president; Dorothy Lightman, vice president; and Billie Sabshin, treasurer. Residents of the DeCastro elected Novice McClellan, president; Lynn Flaks, vice president; Jenny Shimel, secretary; and Jackie Lieberman, treasurer.
Class representatives elected to the council include Jean Martin, freshman; Rhoda Jacobson, sophomore; and Betty Blake, junior. The senior member yet to be chosen.
Proctors appointed for the De-Castro are Zelda Miller, Merle Blount, and Gloria Cohen.
Gore, Penke Head Tentative ’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 caRt 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.
