Married Yets Will Occupy New Building
Married veterans and their wives will occupy the six two-story apartment buildings which will be constructed on the new campus at a cost exceeding $300,000 according to an announcement made this week by President Bowman F. Ashe.
•The building superintendent and the architects are ready,” stated Dr. Ashe, “and the actual construction will begin within a couple of weeks. We will have the 128 efficiency apartments ready for occupation just as rapidly as possible.”
The apartments are an effort to relieve the housing situation which is being experienced at the University. These are the first buildings to be constructed on the new 250-acre campus in the Riviera section near the Dixie highway.
Architects Robert Weed and Marian Manley drew the plans for the apartment houses, which will be plain in design with white shingle tile roofs. They will have prefabricated interior equipment, including stoves and refrigerators.
Dr. Riis Owre, dean of Administration, stated that he has received many applications from married veterans which cannot be taken care of until these buildings are completed. There are over 400 former service men enrolled at the University at the present, and at least 200 more are expected next semester.

Rest wishes for a merry Christmas, a happy new year, and a Hurricane victory in the Orange BowL See you when classes resume Wednesday, Jan. 2.

nity again will make the coveted award.
This year a new tradition will be started with the presenting of a plaque to the Sigma Chi’s for being the winner of the intramural championship.
The affair was previously advertised as $120 for admission but Jerry Braz, president, stated “it may be the holiday spirit, but the boys revoted and decided to play sports at the “Spotlight of Sports’.” THERE WILL BE NO ADMISSION CHARGED.
Daniel Kaplan is committee chairman of the affair. He is assisted by Richard Gerstein, Arthur Peisner, Alec Goldberg, Herbert Fisher, and Sherman Ellis. In charge of publicity is Melvin Lee Starr, assisted by Morton Galowitz, Richard Gerstein and Alec Goldberg.
Students who applied for tickets, except those working at the Orange Bowl, are eligible to buy them, stated Dean H. V. Hjort, chairman of the Orange Bowl ticket committee.	,
Tickets, which have been on sale since J9 o’clock this morning, may be secured at the football ticket office on the second floor of the Main building.
“I think the students’ respopnse to the committee’s attempt to distribute tickets fairly has been sportsmanlike; nobody tried *to put anything over.’ It has been a pleasure to deal with them,” commented Dr. Hjort.
Those who have turned in an application and do not find their name on the approved list, have been asked to make inquiry in room 261.
Ticket sales will continue throughout the day until noon tomorrow. Sales will be resumed on Wednesday morning, continuing until noon. No extra tickets are available at present, but those who have turned in late applications will be given an opportunity Thursday to purchase any available tickets that may be left after the main ticket sale. These late applicants have been asked to come to room 261 to see if any tickets are available.
Members To Don Green and White; Do Card Stunts
Chosen on the basis of attendance at Orange Bowl pep rallies, 296 students have been organized to form the nucleus of the University cheering section at the Orange Bowl game Jan. 1.
The members of the cheering section, which will sit in Section C on the North side of the stadium, will be made up of twelve groups of twenty-five students each. They will be dressed in white with green gloves, and will accompany songs and cheers with synchronized motion of their hands. By the use of placards the section will form figures representing both schools—a green block “M” for Miami, and a purple cross for Holy Cross.
Charter Members of Pep Club
These students will probably be charter members of the University of Miami Pep club, according to Mark Brown, president of the Student association.
“Although the immediate purpose of this cheering section is to demonstrate better support of the Hurricanes in the Orange Bowl game, a more important reason for its organization is to foster school spirit among the independent fraternity and sorority groups on the campus,” stated Brown
Practice Today
A practice will be held this afternoon at 4:30 in the tennis stadium, Brown stated, and a final practice will be scheduled in the Orange Bowl stadium a day before the game, if possible.
Each group leader will be responsible for the attendance of the students in his group. The group leaders are Rose Irwin, Dorothy Jefferson, Annette Jones, Margot Glure, Kitty Lou Hoffman, Sid Dimmig, Johnnie Johnson, Tommy Renedo, Sheldon Koesy, Joy Moseley, Betty Bacco, and Virginia Reed.
The committee members in charge of the section are Rose Irwin, Dorothy Jefferson, Annette Jones, Elizabeth Kruger, and Mark Brown.

Soloists Do Credit To Handel At6Messiah’ Performance
By Pat Sullivan
Handel's masterpiece, “The Messiah,” was presented by the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra and Chorus on Sunday at the Miami Senior High school auditorium.
A creditable job was done by the four soloists, Marion Mc-Creedy, soprano; Helen Jackson Amidon, contralto; Waldon Garth Getzman, baritone; and Charles Wilfred Smith, tenor.
Bowl Reception
An Orange Bowl reception and dance honoring the two football teams will be held at the Coral Gables country club following the game Jan. 1 from 9:30 to 1 am.
The dance is to be a strictly collegiate affair, and only students with activity books will be admitted.
Miss Mary B. Merritt, dean of women, has granted a 1 am permission to girls living in the dormitory. Dress is optional.
Mme. Lina Coen, voice coach and teacher on the University faculty, served in the capacity of voice coach for the chorus. The program was conducted by Dr. Modeste Al-loo. Dr. Joel Belov, violin and theory instructor at the University, was assistant conductor.
The program particularly the first part, was good. Charles Smith’s seasoned phrasing and pleasing voice got the oratorio off to a fine start. Getzman’s rich voice quality should carry him far. He formerly studied with Dr. di Filippi.
Effect of the total orchestra was satisfactory; the violins, excellent.
The two women singers, neither of whom had objectional vibratos, did very well.
In the second part the orchestra faded away effectively after the chorus sang “All we like sheep have
gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all”
There were contrasting sad and gay moods in the third part as the chorus sang “Since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.”
The arrangement seemed designed to put trumpet players on the spot. With nothing too conspicuous to do until the last part, all o^ a sudden the trumpet player had to play fast, high notes along with the violins.
The audience could almost hear the words as the orchestra dramatically repeated the contralto’s “despised . . . rejected” when she sang “He was despised and rejected of men.”
