University of Miami Has More Service Than The White House Dining Room
RUSH COMPETITION HOT AMONG FRATS
Drink a Coke, Read a Book, or Lick a Stamp Thru School’s Courtesy
Great Number of Eligibles Puts Organizations On Their Toes
Competition among the fraternities this year for the abnormally large number of eligible men was hot and spirited. New men have been rushed off their feet for more than a week by the continuous round of dances, dinners, smokers and other affairs. Most of the frosh played the fraternities for all the meals and social functions they could, wisely, we think. More than one active has told us that he’d willingly trade off three pledges for one good night’s sleep.
Rumor has it that two new fraternities are in the process of formation on this campus, with faculty backing, in order to increase the competition of the organizations for new men. If this is the ease, the university may never again see any pledge classes as large as several formed here this year.
Pledging began Monday at midnight for the fraternities on the ’campus of the University of Miami. The following were pledged:
Phi Alpha: Henry Norris, Stephen Kite-Powell, Henry Briggs, Judd Downing, Gary Price-Williams, Nestor Houghtaling, Nick Condon, Clifton Treasure, George Harvey, Art Mefford, Louis Fier-robbin, Earnest Munger, Horace Luce, Mike Sissman, Gwynne Bie-kamper, Merle Richardson, Bunk Skipper, Jimmy Gregory, Herbert Hodson, Russell Stoddard, Charlie Burns, K. Franklin, Tommy Thompson, and Rev. Simms, Honorary.
Pi Chi: Jack Carr, Ernest Brett-snyder, Marshall Wayne, Ed But-

We suggest'that the University of Miami adopt the old motto, “Service with a Smile”. For indeed, | the school gives probably the best service to students on certain! lines of any in the country.
Thirsty? There’s the new lunch room, completely supplied with every brand of (soft) drink known to Mr. Cola. It also handles sandwiches, candy, and other things more in the drug line, such as pen-points, razor-blades, aspirin (!!Ji, and hair tonic. They’re adding lawn mowers and bicycle pumps next week.
Did Doc Lowe inform you that r you needn’t come to class Monday if you hadn’t bought youf book? Right this way. The new bookstore can let you have any book you need, whether you are able to read or just play football. If you’re I lonesome—well, that’s what the j pretty little Lambda Phi is there for. We keep our customers satisfied.
Are you anxiously awaiting that bill from Burdines or that summons from the municipal court, i Fine! You can get it much quicker ¡now, for the school has its own post office right in the east archway. Our stamps are the best that can be had anywhere, and you can always find the attendant under the counter.
The Hurricane gives the school \ three whooping huzzas for thus j considering the convenience of the students. A freshman suggested to us today that if the office will only install a filling station, a barber shop and a pool room, the students j won’t even have to leave the build- j ing, as they could sleep on the wrestling mats in the Men’s gym for a dime a night.
Onion Shaved To 1-25000 Of Inch Thick, Stops Tears
Botany Students Experiment With Super-Accurate Machine In Lab
One twenty-five-thousandths of an inch thick is one dimension of a piece of onion root when the students of Botany “five” class get through with it. The process that leads up to this unusual result is complicating but extremely interesting.
Cytology or, the study of cells, is a class of four students, taught, under the supervision of Dr. Gilbert. Due to the nature of the course this number is ideal as more would slow progress of the class. The object of the course is the making of permanent slides of plant tissue for microscopic study. The tip end of onion roots are being mounted at present and before these are cut they must go through several fluids and then be (Continued on Page Four)
Stray Greeks Organize, Have U. Headquarters
The Stray Greeks, University of Miami organization of national fraternity men, plans a complete reorganization this year, according to Bill Fenwick.
The group was founded several years ago in order to bring together the transfers to the University of Miami from other schools who were members of national organizations. It has as its chief purpose to help local fraternities obtain charters from their respective sponsors through the affiliations of Stray Greek members, and also plans social functions throughout the school year.
The Stray Greeks have this year obtained permission to occupy in the university building, which
Home Team Meets Georgia Eleven At Moore Park Field
No Dope Available, But Betting Gives U. of M.
A Slight Edge
The University of Miami Hurricane foothall team opens its season officially Friday night against the strong Bowden College eleven of Bowden, Ga. The Hurricane squad has been practicing for the last four weeks under the direction of Head Coach McCann,.assisted by Line Coach Goldie Goldstein and Backfield Coach Pete Furman.
The Orange warriors had their first workout under the light: Tuesday night at Moore Field, where McCann drilled his three varsity teams against Courtney's husky freshmen.
Exceptionally good work was done against the frosh by the varsity, who made repeated gains through the first year line. The game was nearly a scrimmage, with McCann trying his varsity out in d.fferent positions in the field, both on the offensive and defensive.
The team is so far almost free frym injuries. Minor hurts on the team include -.Peternich’s bad shoulder, Puglisi’s bad shoulder and Reichgott’s weak ankle. If the linsmen’s injuries don’t yield to treatment, their positions will be filled by O’Day and Graczyk respectively.
Little is known about Bowden except that they made a 60 yard march down the field against Howard for a touchdown, before they succumbed by the score, 22-7.
