Mystery Solved
Box Contains Link Trainer
The carton in front of the theater which • has been puzzling students since its arrival is a Link trainer.
President Bowman F. Ashe has announced that it is only the first of many pieces of equipment which the University will be receiving for use in its engineering school. This Link trainer has been purchased from the government and will be used primarily by aeronautical engineering students.
The Link trainer is a device by which pilots are trained to work on instruments when flying alone. The actual device consists of a replica of an airplane cockpit in which the student is encased, and electronic devices simulate actual flying. The course which the student flies is electronically recorded on a tracking machine. In this way every detail of the flight may be reproduced.
The University this year has started its new school of engineering and many more pieces of new scientific equipment will arrive shortly. The exact location In the building for the engineering school advanced courses which will use this equipment has not yet been decided upon.
Spartans Beat Pitt, Missouri,
Penn State Teams
By Dick Gerstein Miami’s fighting Hurricanes, fresh from an upset victory over North Carolina State, tackle a tough Michigan State aggregation tonight on the Orange Bowl gridiron.
The Spartans come south with a record that includes victories over Pitt, Missouri, and Kentucky. Last week they defeated Penn State, which was supposed to be Orange Bowl bound, by a 33-0 count. Michigan operates out of a short punt formation that looks like a "Z.” Breslin Outstanding Back In Jack Breslin they have one of the outstanding fullbacks in the nation. His kicking average placed him second among the nation’s punters last year. Russ Reader, a transfer from Michigan, has given the Spartan aerial attack just what it needed. He has completed twenty-five passes out of forty-four attempts.
The State backfield lines up in a modified single-wing with the fullback a half step ahead of the halfback; if he doesn’t receive the ball, it passes through his hands to the tailback.
cident.illy, vocalist Louise Douglas is no drawback, regardless of what the tempo may be.
Clyde Lucas, a graduate of the University of Kansas music school organised his band in California. He says he is “nuts about Miami and plans to live here eventually.” Confirming his belief in Miami, the jive maestro has already bought land fur a development at the edge of Mi .mi Shores.
The Lucas organization was the second big name band to play at the Frolics, and since the ballroom has discontinued dancing this week, the Lucas band is the last to play there.
Nex* engagement so far for the band is a booking at the Earle Theater i:> Philadelphia.
When a dancer requests a fast or slow number, Clyde Lucas doesn’t let it fo at that. For instance, at the San Sebastian dance, a brunette said ihe would like a slow selection. ;
“How slow?” asked the leader.
“Oh. just slow,” said the girl.
“Lik * this?” asked Lucas swaying his enure body to a definite beat.
“Yes.” she replied.
With no further pause the band swayed into the precise tempo called for.
Lucas said his guess as to the style of tomorrow's dance music was that the beat will remain definite but that there will be extremes in orchestration. There will be more loud, wild music by some bands and there will be softer music than we have today by others.
“But,” Lucas reminded, shaking his baton forefinger, “the beat will always be there in dance music.”
Clyde Lucas plays piano and trombone. His college expenses were payed for by dance jobs arcund the campus. It was at one of these jobs that he almost married a Kappa Kappa Gamma. Instead he wrote “Kappa Kisses,” a song in the sorority book, and married Gypsy Cooper, Phil Spitalny’s famed saxophone player.
Lucas does many of his own arrangements. He also writes novelty tunes, one of which is “Congo Rhythm.”
The leader’s favorite tunes this week are “Autumn Serenade” and “I Want a Little Doggie.”
Brown Organizes Publicity Group
A publicity committee designed to publicize all Student association affairs and class activities has been organized by Mark Brown, president of the Student association.
“The Hurricane has agreed to cooperate fully with the committee and through that medium it will work with campus organizations that desire publicity as well as the Student association,” explained Janice Greenfield, committee chairman.
Improvements in the appearance of the school are among the plank of the committee, stated Janice.
Also serving on the committee are Gordon Craig, Diana Epting, Charlotte Stamm and Lareeta CRter who represent the classes; Sally Peters, Ben Ginsburg, Sally Ritt, William Schwarzman, Charlotte Abrams and Lee Carpenter, who represents the University publicity office. Representatives from the law and music schools have not as yet been named.
’Canes Drill On Pass Defense
Once again Harding’s men have spent the week’s drills concentrating on pass defense and offense. Pug Pinckney and Chuck Angehis came out of last week’s game with injuries and will not see service tonight. However, last Friday’s game produced a backfield that really clicked. Tonight will probably see Dermigny at quarterback. Jones and Hancock at the half positions and Ghaul at fullback.
All in all, the Spartans loom as the most outstanding eleven that the locals have met all year. An Orange Bowl bid may hang on the outcome of tonight’s game.
CHEMISTRY CLUB TO HOLD FIRST MEETING THURSDAY
The first meeting of the newly organized chemistry society will be held Thursday at 11:30 a.m. in room 132, announced Bernice Karp, newly elected president of Chemistry Honors.
A constitution has been drafted and will be read at the meeting. Movies will also be shown.
The society is not limited to members of Chemistry Honors and all students who are interested in chemistry are invited to attend.
Thomas To Lead YWCA Panel Talk
“How the Y can help you” is the title for the panel discussion to be conducted by Miss Eva Thomas, instructor of history, at the YWCA meeting Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. in room 226.
Three freshmen representatives for the cabinet will be elected at this meeting. Jeanne Carr will play a violin solo.
